Do you know what it is you truly seek?

#Star Wars #Ahsoka #Thrawn #like for real though I don't know why the show is pushing this so hard I assume it's an anakin hang up #and i'm sure people will say it's cause he can unite the empire so that makes him a threat that requires protagonist focus #there are still a lot of episodes left so maybe they will touch on it #but them introducing the sabine and ahsoka dynamic when there was no precedent for it in rebels #makes it seem like they are making this up as they go along #if they make it about thrawn's ties to vader i demand an alliances adaptation

my personal Tango of the Tek variety character design headcanon is fire-hair that is just long enough to go into a stubby little ponytail when he’s working to keep it out of the way. And then when he gets excited or frustrated or has any kind of emotion (which is frequently) his hair burns through the tie and falls down and he has to either cope or put it up all over again.

#rain rambles #hermitcraft #Trafficblr #life series #tangotek #the solution is headbands #sometimes he uses them #most of the time he suffers #he could also just #soak the hair ties in fire res #but that requires planning and forethought #which he is good at usually #but not in the self care arena

#yey the awaited name reveal #Agni means fire. i chose it bc it's close to the name Agnis while also being ironic #as you can see on the first panel he doesn't use firefish to heal because he no longer has it with him #and he did use those years between S1 and S2 to learn to be a medic to compensate for it since he wants to be useful for Grace #his lighthouse is special because he tied a contract with administrator so that it has an ability to heal #although not as potent as firefish. and it requires his control and knowledge instead of instant healing #the other reason why he wears many layers of clothing is because he's constantly frigid from being an ice user. thus the irony #anyway Grace and Bam has the same nervous tick if you noticed #also thats a pocket btw. not shinsu orb #tower of god #tog #two sides of the same coin comic #my comic #my art #bam #baam #25th baam #25th bam #the 25th baam #the 25th bam #jue viole grace #khun #koon #khun a.a #khun aguero agnis #khunbam #koonbaam #bamxkhun

Dragon's Tongue

✧ Nebarra x human!LDB, ft. Xelzaz & Khash ✧ Fluff, minor angst; 1300+ words ♫ "You And I (Stripped)" - PVRIS ✒ Something short n sweet today, I'm feeling soft

Nebarra was loath to admit it to himself, and he'd die before ever saying it aloud, but the Rift really was beautiful. Nothing compared to Alinor, to be sure, but... all the gold reminded him of home. And when he passed by a small, isolated farm, he could almost see himself on its porch, see his brother leaning against the door.

The illusions were younger, happier versions of themselves. So much more innocent, faces bright with naivety, eyes shining with plans for the future.

And then he'd gone to war.

He'd lost... so much of himself, in the deserts of Hammerfell. They had scorched and burned him inside and out, slowly bleeding him dry with every comrade he saw fall. And all that, for what? For all the Altmer's supposed superiority, the campaign had failed on all fronts – Hammerfell's walls and people defied them, and Cyrodiil remained in power, weakened but still unbroken.

How could the Thalmor still strut about, arrogant to Aetherius and back, when they had failed so miserably? How could they look at the faces of the families whose children and lovers they'd sent to die and only tell them they'd "served their purpose"?

Nebarra couldn't.

He couldn't face them at all. Not even through pen and paper, leagues away from ever having to look them in the eyes, ever having to see the pain and loss in their gaze.

Where the Thalmor were heartless, he was a coward.

And he didn't know which was worse.

~~~

Night fell, and you called the group to halt, to make camp until dawn. Nebarra set up the tent as you argued with Xelzaz, trying to convince him that no, he shouldn't summon a flame atronach and then kill it for its fire salts, no matter how good it would make dinner taste. Khash merely looked on, muching on some clover she'd picked up somewhere.

At last though, you got Xelzaz to relent, though he asked you to gather some herbs in exchange, listing off the plants he wanted you to find.

"Ah... and take Nebarra with you."

The elf froze. Turned slowly towards the lizard. Demanded, "What? Why?"

"Two eyes are better than one," he shrugged, "and that much safer, as well. We don't know what's out there, and I'm pretty sure we passed a necromantic altar on our way here."

At that, you groaned, head rolling back like a teenager who'd just been told to do their chores. "Gods, not another one. Why do we always seem to run into those?"

"Luck of the Dragonborn? Anyway, off with you now – I have to get set up. Let's see, in whose pack did I leave my cooking pot...? Khash! Come help me with this!"

And just like that he walked off, leaving you and Nebarra alone by the campfire. A chuckle escaped you, and he glanced over to see you shaking your head. "I'm surprised he didn't tell us to hold hands, too, so we don't lose each other in the dark."

"Yeah, I'm not holding your hand," Nebarra snarked. And it was true. Absolutely true. Totally, one-hundred percent true.

"Oh wow, Nebs, that one almost hurt." Your soft laugh seemed to echo in his ears, his mind. "Come on, let's go – I don't suppose you heard any of the plants he wants?"

Blue and yellow mountain flowers, to restore and fortify. Purple for rejuvenation, and to give to Khash. Scaly pholiota for fiber and strengthening. Wild gourds and dragon's togue for flavour.

He snorted from behind his helm. "That would require paying attention to him."

"Should have known," you sighed. "Alright, listen up before I forget: blue, yellow, and purple mountain flowers, scaly pholiota, and dragon's tongue. And be careful with the purple mountain flowers, they're gifts for Khash. Oh, he also wants some wild gourds. Got it?"

"...Yeah, yeah. Let's just get going."

He definitely hadn't feigned ignorance just to hear your voice some more. Definitely not.

~~~

"Ah, back at last! Perfect," Xelzaz said, stirring something in a pot over the fire. "Now I can get the real meal started."

"Then what's this?" Nebarra demanded as Xelzaz handed him a bowl, in exchange for the plants the Altmer carried. Even through his gauntlets he could feel its warmth, and a rich, savory scent drifted up through the slits of his helmet.

"Something amazing, from the smell," you sighed, and Nebarra didn't have to look to know you were drooling.

"Just a little sometime to hold you over," the Argonian demurred, handing you a bowl as well. "Thought I'd experiment with some of the flora I've gathered thus far."

That gave Nebarra pause. "Wait – experiment? That's settled, I'm not eating this."

"If you don't want it–"

Your words were drowned out by Khash's eager shout of, "I'll eat it! I'll take your bowl!" She rushed over to him, red eyes trained on the food.

"Khash, you had your share," Xelzaz chided. "Any more and you won't have room for the rest of dinner."

"Yes, I will! I have room for anything you make."

"She's got a point," you laughed, and Nebarra slowly, wordlessly handed her the bowl.

"I'll go keep watch," he grumbled, turning away.

"Oh, don't be like that! Nebarra!" When he didn't respond, you sighed, calling after him, "Alright, go sulk! I'll make sure Xelzaz doesn't poison your share, though you kind of deserve it!"

His back still towards you, Nebarra raised his hand in a rude gesture, and your laughter rang through the night.

Some thirty minutes later, he heard footsteps approaching; he didn't need to turn to know it was you. Your tread was distinct from the others, weighted with determination and confidence, whereas Xelzaz's was soft and steady, and Khash's light and hesitant.

"Here. Eat." Despite the short words, your tone was gentle, and Nebarra looked over to see you holding a plate out towards him, laden with a slab of meat and wild berries to the side. "It's delicious, and unpoisoned."

"How would you know?" he sniffed, catching a whiff of the food in the process. It... did smell amazing. "Did you try it?"

"I did, actually. Stole some of your steak when Xelzaz wasn't looking. And since I'm still standing here pestering you, I guess that means it's clean."

Nebarra paused, eyes training on your face. Half of it was wreathed in shadow, only the gleam of your eyes visible; the other half was illuminated by the campfire, revealing the soft smile you wore.

You... had a nice smile.

And before he could stop himself, he mumbled, "You're not... pestering me."

Surprise flickered in your gaze – surprise, and something else. Something he told himself he didn't recognise, refused to recognise.

After a moment, you said softly, "That's... good to hear, then. Because I have something else for you, too." Reaching down with your free hand, you pulled something from your belt and held it out before him. "I saved one, 'cause it reminded me of you."

Nebarra stared. There, held gently between your fingers, was a dragon's tongue flower, petals open wide and colours vibrant in full bloom. "This... reminded you of me?"

"It's gold. Just like you."

"...You really do have trouble with your eyesight, don't you? These are orange."

"Eh, close enough." You shrugged, the smile never leaving your face.

Slowly, Nebarra reached out and, ignoring the plate of food, took the flower carefully, delicately from your grasp, cradling it in his palm. "...Am I supposed to say thank you?"

"You just did." As he raised a brow from the shadows of his helm, you set the plate on a nearby rock and tapped the gauntlet that held the flower. "You accepted it."

He couldn't deny it. "Think you got me all figured out then, huh?"

Something in your smile shifted, your gaze flickering. "No. Not yet, anyways. But... I think I'd like to." And with that, you turned on your heel and walked away, leaving him alone in the dark, stunned.

And that night, as he sat in the shadows of the campfire, he stared at the flower for a long, long time.

the only reason a togiri hannibal au doesn't fully work is because there is no world where byakuya would or could be qualified to work as a therapist. on the other hand i am fully inclined to believe kyoko could go full will graham, sweaty delirium and all, when the right circumstances call for it

#togiri #danganronpa thh #a togiri hannibal au could only work if. byakuya was just a rich eccentric #and all the victims happened to be other rich people who had ties to the togami conglomerate #therefore requiring kyoko to meet with him from time to time. during which he develops an infatuation with her #and starts trying to woo her through long-winded flowery prose on the nature of death and her role in delivering justice #meanwhile she hasnt slept right in three days and has been wearing the same shirt for two #this au would require suspension of disbelief that 1. kyoko would work with law enforcement and 2. byakuya can cook for himself #if i wanted to squeeze tonaegiri in here then makoto would have to be like. the equivalent of alana bloom ig? #he's kyoko's casual friend who happens to have ties with byakuya bc he somehow managed to interview to be his secretary once #and got all the way to the last round where he was talking to byakuya personally before he figured he wasn't qualified to work here #both byakuya and kyoko could be will graham but kyoko could also be a better hannibal than byakuya #grown-up kyoko with no real ties to anyone would be ratty and a little fucked up. she should get to own a million dogs in a nowhere shack

Behind F1's Velvet Curtain

This article by Kate Wagner on her INEOS sponsored trip to the Austin GP at COTA last year was commissioned by Road and Track magazine and then taken down. Presumably because Kate has was pretty staunch in her opinions about what was essentially a paid trip.

It is exactly the kind of thing I have wanted to read about the felt experience of the money business of F1. It doesn't get into technicalities and does not produce any spreadsheets for reference. It's just, her experience of the presence of wealth in the sport.

She starts off by talking about how she has been covering cycling and NASCAR for a while now and both of those, in comparison, are scrappier sports with smaller sponsors and cheaper tickets.

What I also especially loved was how fascinated she was with the cars themselves, and how they seem like a true marvel of human engineering. She almost described the cars like these alien beasts that came into this dimension out of nowhere and were being constantly monitored and dueled with to furnish wins and glory (and shareholder value for sponsors).

I think I always had an understanding of the weird myth making surrounding F1 and the kind of media attention it attracts, but someone like Kate (who I have loved reading for a while now) putting it into perspective really made it click for me. This sport thrives off of the kind of cocoon it has built around it and understands exactly the certain exclusiveness it needs to maintain to keep the story alive.

Anyway, give it a read, especially because Road and Track is trying to bury it to not piss off sponsors.

#I think matt oxley was talking about how motogp has been struggling with money and hence dorna is trying to woo the American market #and the american tech sponsors #but bikes don't require as much data driven performance engineering as f1 cars do #Ducati is probably leading the operation in this regard because they have audi behind them #anyway I knew motogp does not produce the same level of wealth but I still decided to check numbers #Marc's net worth is $25Mn and he is arguably the best driver of his generation with enough sponsors behind him #Max's net worth in comparison is $165Mn easily over 6 times that of Marc #Vale's net worth is $200Mn but he is still somewhat of an outlier because his popularity far outweighs that of motogp itself #Lewis is still around $300Mn and he hasn't even retired yet #Schumacher was around $800Mn #I know net worth is a very stupid number to consider but driver net worth is an easy way to translate impact ig #the current Max to Mercedes rumours caused Merc valuation to rise by $11Bn #Billion! 11 of them! #honestly I frequently get desensitized to money just purely as a number because I am exposed to businesses with large valuations but #I still wanted a moment to reconsider how much money rides on this sport #and how that ties to how rich people function #just made me remember that Ocon is the last driver from a working class background #Fernando and Lewis are the only other with working class beginnings and both of them are over 35 and ridiculously talented #its not a sport for regular people to break into #Vale also started with karts and had to shift to bikes #anyway I love Kate Wagner please read this #and talk to me about money and F1 #Kate wagner #f1 #formula 1 #road and track magazine #lewis hamiton #mercedes amg petronas f1 team #Mercedes #INEOS

playing Astarion's romance and rewatching Vanitas has given me so many vampire writing thoughts--

#important question. in a vampire situation would caleb or molly let the other drink their blood-- #it makes me so soft to think about relationships with astar that begin with you trusting him enough to take that step almost immediately #but also. theres just something very compelling to me about the iconic vnc scene where noe nearly begs and. as close as they are. #vanitas looks him in the eye and says if he tries to drink his blood he'll kill him--(the fact that he's saying it for noes sake too #that it seems to be something he truly has no control over. that they're both at risk of lashing out and hurting the other if they're #not careful--) #anyway-- #thinking about how so much of molly's power is tied to blood. how in the orders it was a common practice for lucien and the rest of #the blood hunters to mix their blood together and drink it. the way lucien gives cree a necklace with his blood in it #that she considers sacred-- #lucien would drink caleb's blood no problem he was already doing that with the tombtakers. no vampirism required-- #but I think in something like a vampire situation molly would be more hesitant. more worried about losing control---especially if he #associates all those powers and that hunger with lucien-- #I think caleb would probably. try to make deals with people for some of their blood. would probably be starving a lot of the time and #molly would happily help him-- #in the reverse. I feel like caleb would probably refuse to let anyone drink his blood. as a matter of holding onto his autonomy-- #anyway!! blood hunter orders are very fun I feel like they lend themselves well to these kinds of AUs since they're already #so thematically similar to vampires-- #this is just silly self indulgent ramblings I just think vampires are fun

I post a lot about Tsuna's wol-verse and wolship garbage but it's only because it's the only thing I have. What I really want is collabs and RPs with other people. I just have no idea how to rp in XIV after years of tumblr rp. 🥺

#though that would require me to think more critically about her non-wol verse to make her interesting #like-- i have one but it feels very boring to me #because all her flavor is tied to being a wol lmao #im bad at oc making i've never done this before

[bruitist]

There's obviously lots of speculation about what happens to Laudna's warlock powers with Delilah "gone" - possibly a new patron (with an appropriate subclass) or just Laudna not being able to gain new warlock levels (or just losing them entirely and be a lower level than everyone, but ew).

One possibility I haven't seen: Delilah was holding her back.

That, like she did with the gnarlrock, Delilah has been siphoning off some of Laudna's power to sustain her. Her warlock abilities were just a corruption/echo of what she should have as a full sorcerer. It's a nice thematic way to explain her only having access to lower level spells/having fewer spell slots because of the multiclass.

I've always thought that it didn't seem like Laudna coming back was because of Delilah's power. It was just her spell that boosted Laudna's inherent ability to come back (basically Strength of the Grave turned up to 11 allowing her to come back days later).

So without Delilah bothering her, she's full shadow sorcerer. Still creepy and a bit death-like (thanks to the nature of being a shadow sorcerer) and maybe with access to some thematic warlock spells (to make things interesting and differentiate her from Imogen).

I just like the idea of Laudna finding out she doesn't owe Delilah for her new life. She was just a parasite that hitched a ride.

#laudna #critical role #tied into this is my idea #that delilah wanted to use laudna to come back #as any other way would require 'outside help' #and it makes sense for laudna to no longer be a hollow one #(which I think she was just mechanically - not lore-wise) #but maybe to switch to returned #to have some similar abilities

high school and (especially) middle school were wild looking back on it. I remember once I asked to go to the bathroom because I was sick, was denied, got up and went anyway- because I had to fucking throw up, and I told the teacher that when I came back and didn't get in trouble. but like jesus christ ma'am.

in middle school there was a strict dress code and boys specifically had to keep their shirts tucked in at all times, sometimes the principal or another admin would at random barge into your classroom, make all the boys stand up, and if anyone didn't have their shirt tucked in they would get sent to in-school suspension right away. can't even make this shit up.

#7th grade math classes required that you have a red pen and you couldn't enter class w/out one #and if you didn't have one you got sent ti in-school suspension for being late because you straight-up wouldn't be allowed into class #I still remember the chaos every day of students running up and down the halls asking if anyone had a spare red pen #lifeposting
