the worst crime of all, however, is treating the massive gaping hole in Iridikron's chest with a clear exit wound through his back as just something that's always been there for as long as he's been an Incarnate, without explanation, despite the other Incarnates not having similar injuries or exposed cores. There was SO MUCH POTENTIAL for something cool, and then the author was like, "no."
BRUH are you kidding me. it's baffling that they finally write a compelling villain again and then proceed to squander every possible opportunity to deliver on even a single ONE of the threads they dangled in front of us in game for the past year. like what is the point of the novels if you aren't going to give us the story

Word Crimes by Weird Al Yankovic should be Riddler's theme song. Or his cell ringtone.
It's just so him.

Hi my name is Maximillian Nonus Smythe Acanthos and I have a long family history of important mages (that’s how I got my name) with Masters and politicians that reaches back eight generations and quick brown eyes like searchlights of knowledge and a lot of people tell me I look like a stretched-out mannequin (AN: If u don’t know what that is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Alania Miratova but I wish I was because she is a major fucking inspiration. I’m a legacy mage but my friends are diverse and loved. I have pale white skin. I’m also a mage, and I go to a magic school called Skolala Refujeyo in Pakistan where I’m of Apprentice rank (I’m sixteen). I’m a scientist, in case you couldn’t tell, and I wear mostly orange. I love my family’s high-class tailoring services and I get most of my clothes from there. For example, today I was wearing a long orange day robe tailored perfectly to my body, sensible day shoes and a small hip bag to carry my fetish and various magical tools. I was wearing a pair of high-end reading glasses and my goatee was perfectly waxed. I was walking in the vast, mazelike tunnel network of the school. It was cramped and chilly and there was no sun, which I was happy about. A lot of legacy mages from rival families stared at me. I put my middle finger up at them.

“i just… adore you.” FOR THE PROMPT THING!!!!!!
Pairing: Morpheus x OFC x Hob Gadling
Contents: established relationship, unnamed she/her OFC, third person POV, implied smut, fluff, being disgustingly in love
Notes: Hey, they’re engaged in this one! This isn’t technically a Valentine’s related drabble, but they’re all very much in love, so it feels thematically appropriate.
Hob Gadling was not drunk. It was only that—well, it was the night of the stag do his friends had insisted on throwing, nothing wild, just a night at a pub he didn’t own, and everyone had insisted on buying him another round, and another, and before he knew it, his phone was in his hand, calling her, while his friends gently teased him in the background.
She answered after only a few rings, and he mentally congratulated himself on having the foresight to fumble his way to FaceTime rather than a voice call. It was late, but not quite so late that she would have fallen asleep, and she answered from their bed, propped against the pillows.
“Hob,” she said, amused. “I wasn’t expecting you.” Her other hand reached off screen—arranging the bedsheets?—and he tilted his phone closer to himself, cutting off any sight lines from prying eyes.
“Missed you,” he said, smiling at her. God, she was beautiful. And he was going to marry her, was going to wake up next to that face forever. Had he said that out loud, too?
She laughed softly. Perhaps he had. “I missed you too. Say hello to your friends for me.”
Dutifully, he relayed the message, and the chorus of hello’s that followed. In the lull, Hob took her in: the gentle fall of her hair, the soft pink of her cheeks, those eyes—
“Was that all?” she asked gently, still smiling. In the corner of the screen, Hob saw movement, and squinted, trying to puzzle it out.
“Hang on,” he said, fighting his way away from the table to an echo of good natured booing and whistles from his friends. “Need a cigarette,” he called back to them. He carried his phone with him, weaving his way out through the crowd to the sidewalk. “There. That’s better. Wanted to tell you—god. Luckiest man alive, that’s me. I just—adore you.”
She adjusted the angle of the camera, revealing Morpheus beside her. “Both of you,” he amended. It had to have been the fresh air, helping to clear his head, that made him realize that what he had taken for a slightly wrinkled t-shirt was, in fact, the bedsheet pulled up to her shoulders, and there was the sharp wing of Morpheus’s own bare shoulder—
“Having a good night?” he asked with a smile.
“I was simply keeping her company,” Morpheus replied. His hair was more disheveled than usual, Hob realized, and his mouth was—
“He told me I should answer it. You were thinking about us,” she said, letting the sheet fall slightly. She was still flushed pink, spreading down her neck and chest, below the sheet.
“Come home and join us.”
“But only if you want to—“
“I’m calling a cab.”
His friends would understand, he thought. What was the point in celebrating one last night as an unmarried man, when all he wanted was to be a married one? Hob would have married them both in front of everyone he knew if he could have, but not yet. Maybe in another hundred years. For now, in the waking world, he would stand next to her with Morpheus at his side, and if Morpheus were to mouth the vows along with him…no one had to know.
At the moment, he had a very pressing engagement to return home to.

SIMON:
I read your email
It was fantastic
That was sarcastic
You still write like you’re classic
ALVIN:
Don’t bring classic me into this.

I think this song is a close second favorite of mine to Weird Al's "Word Crimes" in regards to songs about how painful and annoying it can be to read what people have written on the internet.

English word crimes that make me viscerally angry.
Lead. Is it lead or lead? In this context, you will never know
Also read and read
Dessert and desert. They’re too close. They are sinning
On a related note, sweet and sweat. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN HAS BEEN CAUSED WHILE I WAS LEARNING WHICH ONE WAS SPELLED WHICH WAY!? THE TOLL ON MY MENTAL HEALTH!?
And I know this word prolly is French and not English, but it continues to disappoint me that Macabre is pronounced the way it is.
And why is epitome so hard? I pronounce it wrong every time.
