Part 1 // part 3
Part 2
.
.
Everything was going great,Wyatt was laughing at his dad's joke. You were chatting up with Beth sipping some cheap wine,All four of y'all were being peaceful with each other and you liked it. You liked being a part of things like this.You like feeling included instead of being left out.
You can get used to this.
That's until Wyatt's phone went off and it was like the whole energy in the room shifted.
Wyatt started up an old argument from years ago which caused a yelling battle in front of his parents.
Was it embarrassing?
Yes.
Was Wyatt being an asshole?
Definitely.
Wyatt did the most childish he can ever possibly do
He
Left
Without
You!
You gotta be fucking kidding me! What were you supposed to do now ,you can't just stay in someone's house that you barely knew.
Eddie felt terribly bad that Wyatt was being a dick to you.
But he did get to have you at this house, so that was a bonus.
Eddie didn't want to take you back to the hotel so he made up an excuse saying he was very tired and and maybe you and Wyatt needed some space from each other so he let you sleep in their guest bedroom for tonight . Eddie went to go get the room cleaned up for you like a good man he was.
.
On the other hand Beth was already pissed that her son left a woman in her house she barely knew. Which was understandable But you were too tired to even care about what she said.
You just needed Eddie to hurry up with the room .
Maybe some good sleep would help you but tomorrow you needed to go talk to Wyatt and sort things out with him.
You love him and you weren't going to let a little fight get between the both of you.
.
Eddie lays out a new sheet on the bed for you as he Puffs up your pillows for your pretty little head. He wanted to make sure you were as comfortable as possible.
He thought to himself for a second.
Would it be wired for him to turn on the cameras that were in the guest room?
Yes,yes it would. but hey no one had to know.
He just wanted the camera on so he could keep an eye on you and to make sure you were okay and safe.
He just wanted to make sure his guest was comfortable.
Yeah keep on telling that lie to yourself munson.
.
Eddie heads downstairs after he got his camera to turn on making sure that he could see the video footage on his phone.
He swears he's just doing it to check up on you.
That's all.
"Hey y/n the room is all yours now." Eddie said as he led you upstairs.
"Thank you Eddie this means Alot,sorry about the whole argument that me and Wyatt got into . I swear we were okay till now. I don't know what got into him." You apologize putting your purse down on the Queen size bed slipping your coat off from your tired body.
Oh,if only you knew what he knew.
"Don't apologize sweetie,it wasn't your fault. Wyatt can be an ass sometimes,but he gets that from his mom." Eddie said, leaning against the door of the guest room. You giggle at Eddie's little comment about Wyatt.
"No but seriously don't feel bad."
"I know but I can't help it , I didn't want to be a disturbance to your family the first time I meet y'all." You sit at the edge of the bed taking off your beat up boots.
Eddie eyed you as you leaned down to take your boots off, he caught a glimpse of your perky breasts from the opening of your shirt. He shifted his legs leaning on the other foot quickly pulling the crock of his pants away to his already hard bulge.
Fuck him for getting old and getting hard so quickly.
"You're not a disturbance y/n."
"That's not what your wife thinks." You tell Eddie as you look up at him.
You were right,but Beth hates everyone. It was normal.
"Yeah well ,this isn't her house it's mine so you're allowed to stay here as long as you please." Eddie told you to put a smile on your face.
God you had such pretty lips with a pretty smile.
He was just about to say fuck the plan so he could feel your lips on his.
Take a deep breath Eddie not yet.
"That's very kind of you Eddie thank you" You tell him
"No problem sweetheart, we're friends now and friends help out friends." He applied as he backed out the door.
"WAIT EDDIE."' you said as he turned his head back into your view.
"Yes?'
"Do you have anything to wear I don't feel like sleeping in my jeans tonight." You asked, biting your bottom lip.
"Uh yeah let me check I'll be right back."
"THANK YOU!" You yell down the hall as he quickly jogs to his only to see Beth already in bed flipping through the channel on the tv.
"What did she want to know?" Beth asked as her eyes were still on the tv.
"She needs some clothes to sleep in so I'm checking your draw real quick." Eddie said as he opened the drawer tossing clothes out of her drawer not caring if he was making a mess.
"You gotta be fucken kidding me ,first she fights with our son then she stays the night and now you're letting her wear my clothes. Are you serious right now Edward?" She asked as Eddie van heard the venom in her words.
"For fucks sakes Elizabeth she didn't start shit with Wyatt he's just an ass and she can stay here as long as she wants, fuck she can maybe move in if she wanted for all I care, and lastly This is my house not yours." Eddie slamming the dresser drawer.
"And you know what she doesn't need your clothes I'll just let her use mine." Eddie stomped into his shared closet looking through his clothes looking for a big shirt since he didn't have pants to give you. He pulls out one of his old work flannels as he storms out of his bedroom knocking at the guest room you were in .
"Hey so funny story, Beth did want me to give you any of her clothes so I found an old flannel of mine because I did NOT have pants for you, so you can just button it up and pray to God that it will cover your body." He let out an awkward chuckle.
"Oh, no that's okay I'm perfectly fine with that.Thank you." You take the flannel out from Eddie's hands.
He felt the coldness of the tip of your finger on his palm as you grabbed the flannel from him.
Yeah okay that he needed to get out of there IMMEDIATELY.
"Well okay I'm gonna go lay down if you need anything I mean anything just knock on our door and let me know."
"Alrighty Eddie thank you goodnight." You tell him as you let a tired yawn out stretching out your arms.
"Good night sweetie." Eddie left and quickly ran into his room entering his bathroom not caring what Beth was complaining about now. He locked the door behind him quickly pulling out his phone as he pressed on his home security cameras.
Eddie didn't feel one bit of guilt as he slid down his pants to his ankles as he set his phone on the toilet top hovering his cock over the toilet bow as he watched you take off your top.
Eddie took his length into his own hands as he teased himself slowly starting at the tip of his leaking cock.he looks back at his phone as he sees you throwing your shirt on he bed,from the view he had he saw how your tits jiggle at every movement you made.he could see you reaching down to undo your pants he teases the tip as he smears his fluids all around his leaking tip as he grabs his ball with his other hand massaging them with his finger.He bites down on his lip trying to keep quiet as his wife is in the other room.you dropped your pants to floor bending down as he sees a perfect views of your round ass. Eddie strokes himself as he could ear the wet sounds of his hand meeting his cock .He closed his eyes for a second imagining your kneeling down in front of his while he strokes himself, he really wanted to cum in your mouth but also on your tits or wait! maybe on your ass or even better inside if you he wondered how tight you would be and if you would giggle while he slips his cock into your tight Young pussy. His thoughts got so wrapped up in his head he forgot that he was watching you. Eddie opens his eyes only to see that you are done and ready for bed as he sees you snuggling up with one of the pillows.
Fuck!
He had to go back to using his imagination as he jerks himself one last time letting out a low grunt as his hot white cum shoots into the toilet and all over his hand and balls. He rides out his orgasms slowly setting down his sensitive balls.he grabs some toilet paper to clean himself up , he hisses as he whips off his cum from his sensitive soft cock.
Did he just jerk off to his son's girlfriend and feel no guilt whatsoever?
Hell yes he did.
He was growing impatient all he needed was for Wyatt to fuck up so he he can move along to the next step. He is Lucky that Wyatt and you are here for a couple more days that will definitely be more time for things to unravel.
.
Eddie laid in his bed that night with his wife in his arms he thought about you and How pretty you were when he first saw pictures of you and How nice and sweet you were when he met you and how sexy you were when you were changing. He smiled at the thought of getting to taste you very soon.
.
you lay in the bed but you couldn't get the thought out of your head of Eddie watching you while you slept.
A smile creeped up on your face as you watched the red light blink from above your bed.
Oh if only he knew that you could see the bright blinking red button.
He was a pretty face with no brains.
You went to sleep with a uncomfortable aching feeling between your legs.
.
.
.
"Hey y/n sweetie it's time to wake up,I made you pancakes"Eddie looks down at the plate.",well kind of I burnt them so ego's it was." Eddie said, scratching the back of his neck. He looked at you and your sudden movement but you weren't waking up when he set the plate down on the dresser and he moved your hair out of your face. You looked Peaceful a little too peaceful, your skin was glowing in the early morning sunlight and your plumped lips squished together by the pillow in your cheek he giggled a bit on how your hair looks and the way it was sticking up, his thick fingers caress your cheek whispering for you to wake up. He heard you your little whines as you slowly stirred awake opening your eyes as you got a glimpse of Eddie, but your fist were too fast before you could stop yourself as you punched him in the face.
Eddie yelps In shock and in pain as he stumbles back.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR!?" Eddie asked as he viciously rubbed his cheek.
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! I AM SO FUCKEN SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN THAT, YOU JUST SCARED ME AND MY BODY REACTED BEFORE I COULD I'M SO SO SORRY EDDIE." you say as you get out of the bed not even caring if you're wearing pants or not all you wanted to do was just help him.
"Well at least I know you can defend yourself." Eddie chuckled nervously as he saw you get out from the bed getting a glimpse of your naked legs.
"I am so sorry, come on, I'll help you downstairs." You grabbed Eddie's hand slowly but quickly walking him down the stairs.
"Hey I'm hurt, I'm not that old I can walk down the stairs perfectly fine." He didn't mind, actually he thought it was pretty cute for you to take care of him.
"Yeah I know but it would make me feel way much better." You sit Eddie down on the chair as you open up the freezer looking through it to find an ice pack or ice at this point.
"It's on the side door bottom shelf." Eddie said as you lookback thanking him.Eddie eyes roamed your body as he got a glimpse of your black cotton panties as you bent down.
Shit you might need to take care of something else for him too.
Quick it Munson, STOP BEING A PERV.
You grabbed a paper towel as you wrapped it around the ice pack not wanting to put it directly on his eye . Eddie hisses at the coldness pressing on to his pulsing red eye.
"Sorry." You say As you hold it there for a second. You couldn't help but notice as your eyes roamed his chest that he had more tattoos but you couldn't make out what they were.
"Hey, my eye is up here." Eddie told you as you let out a nervous giggle.
Eddie grabbed onto your hand that was holding the ice pack as he slowly moved it from his eye replacing your hand with his.
"Hey I got it from here how about you go upstairs and eat your breakfast and maybe" he looks you up and down."put some pants on please."
You look down at your bare legs as you back away from him.
"Yeah you're probably right thank you Eddie, and I'm very sorry."
"Hey, it's all right it was an accident." He told you as he put his hand on your shoulder.
You nod your head as you quickly walk out of the dining room almost tripping as you turned back around to ask Eddie something.
"Hey by the way is it okay if you can drop me off at the hotel once I'm done." You asked .
"If my eye is still attached, yes I don't mind." He joked looking up at your nervous face.
"Hey Im fucking around, I don't mind."
"Yeah I knew that , thank you Eddie." You ran up the stairs.
"NO PROBLEM SWEETIE!" he yelled.
.
"Hey you ready doll?" Eddie asked swinging his keys in his hands.
"yup I'm coming." You walked down the stairs In your outfit you had on from yesterday.
Eddie opens the door letting you go out first as the gentleman he is .
You wait for Eddie to Lock the door so he can point to which car yall were taking, but instead he goes to the garage putting the code in the pad.
The garage door opens up as Eddie passes you a helmet.
"what's this for." You looked confused
"we, sweetie are taking my bike instead, it is way to hot out here." Eddie drags out his huge two seater motorcycle.
"holy shit is that a BMW R1250 RT !" You asked really as you put the helmet on your head.
Eddie looked back at you with a smirked on his face,he likes how intrigued you were .
"Yeah! how did you know." He was shocked to know you knew about bikes not that it was a bad thing it's just that beth and Wyatt would get annoyed when he would bring up his bike in conversations he thought it was pretty cool if you to know he felt his cheeks heat up looking at you as your eyes roamed his bike.
"It been a dream of mine to get one but Wyatt said it was too dangerous for me." You happily put on the helmet as you do a little dance of excitement.
God could you get any more fucken hotter.
"HA, well look at that beth said the same thing , I haven't took this baby out in while cause of her." Eddie drags his bike out into the street puts on his helmet, Eddie throws his leg over his bike as he starts up the engine hearing the loud sound roar of the Motorcycle.
You get all excited as Eddie lends his hand out telling you to get on.
"Hold on tight babe, don't want you pretty self getting hurt." Eddie said over the loud noises of the bike.
You wrapped your arms around Eddie feeling how big and stiff his torso really was you swear you could feel abs under his jacket. As Eddie takes off you lean your head onto his shoulder feeling the hard wind breeze on your neck.
Eddie could stop his smiling under his helmet as he could hear you humming and giggling . He could feel your arms tighten around him as your hands dangled above his croch.
It is the wrong time for him to be getting hard.
Eddie let his thoughts flow as he try's to get him mind off of his uncomfortable bulge.
He can hear your little gigglea of excitement from behind him. He thought it was so adorable on how you were reacting.
How can Wyatt be so cruel to someone so innocent and sweet?
.
.
You arrive at the hotel. Eddie parks his bike taking off his helmet. His hair looked funny as it stuck to his tatted neck . You could help but giggle as you see Eddie putting his hair up into a bun.Eddie turns around sticking his tounge out at you as you shook your head.
You and eddie turn your heads when you hear one of the hotel room doors open and a blonde tall woman walks out while she pulls down her red skimpy dress but right behind her is Wyatt as he grabs her by the back if her neck smashing his lips into hers
Your smile drops as you stare up at the scene in front of you.
You couldn't believe it.
Before Wyatt can look down at you and eddie, Eddie turns his body to make sure Wyatt can't see you
"Sweetheart, look at me please." Eddie asked as he could hear the small cry coming from your whining lips .
"Can you just please take me somewhere else?" You asked not looking up at him as you play with the end of your shirt.
Eddie kisses your head starting up his bike as he makes eye contact with his son.
He smirks up at Wyatt taking off to the closest diner.
.
The waitress sits you and Eddie at a booth. Eddie puts his big hand over you hand caressing your knuckles between his fingers.
He sees you as you start to cry he quickly gets up from his side scooting into your side as he takes your body into his arms.
"Shh it's okay baby I got you, let it out pretty girl." He says as he rubs your arms and back kissing your forehead your head he tries to comfort you as much as he can but he's not very good at that.
"I'm so mad at him ,I trusted him, why would he do that to me." You say as you can feel your hot tears running down your cheek Eddie wipes them away with his thumb looking at you with all the sadness in his big brown eyes.
Eddie didn't like it but either. Yeah he wanted his own son to fuck up . but that's because he wanted him to show you how he really was and that he wasn't faithful and he never loved you from the start .
Wyatt was Just like his mom when he found out that beth was still sleeping with Steve her ex-boyfriend not just any guy named Steve but Steve Harrington the guy that he thought was his friend.
But for all he cares Steve can keep her he just hopes that Nancy know About her husbands and Beth's little affair they have going on Steve owns Nancy at least that.
But besides that he wasn't going to stick around and watch poor little you get your feelings hurt or watch him get fucked over by the same woman.
"Y/n?
"Yes Eddie?"
"Would you like to take up an offer ?"

tldr scroll down to see my new plants.
this is a departure from my usual posts, it's a bit more like hybrid blog/diary entry, idk, but here u go.
for those of y'all who don't know, one of my hobbies is plants. i like to collect them propagate them, trade them, etc. and my favorite type of plant is aroids, particularly philodendrons. it was a very difficult hobby to maintain after the plant boom during lockdown caused plant prices to skyrocket, so for the past year or two i haven't relaly been buying that many new plants, and when i have it's just been from garden centers or local nurseries.
yesterday, however, i went to an aroid show where there was a vendor from south america who had brought a bunch of specimens people could purchase. they're a family owned business that focuses on protection and preservation of biodiversity and native plant species, and all their plants are ethically sourced, usually grown in their own greenhouses from propagations instead of taking them from their natural habitat and selling them. so obviously i had to check them out.
but this is where i sort of pause while writing this post, because i get really nervous talking about spending money, especially on here. i've frequently asked for help when i needed assistance getting my account out of the red or paying late rent, so part of me feels like it would be insulting to post about things i spend money on that aren't the essentials. but my plants make me happy. they give me something to take care of. they brighten up my apartment. they give me something to be excited about. so i'm just gonna tell you about my new plants.
about a month ago when i left my old church job, they gave me a gift card that the choir had pitched in for. i couldn't get cash out, use it for rent, or transfer it to my bank account, so i decided it would be my hobby fund. when i found out about the aroid show, i set aside a portion of that fund for plants because i knew that the specimens at the show would be significantly less expensive than anything i could find online or in local shops, and it might be one of the only chances i would ever have to actually buy some of my wishlist plants.
this is a philodendron esmeraldense. this is what they look like when the leaves get bigger and more mature. this is one i hadn't seen before so it wasn't on my wishlist, but when i was checking the vendors' stock last week i loved how it looked. i'm gonna put it on a moss pole and let it climb. the leaves probably won't ever get as big as the one in the linked photo, but i'm still excited to watch it grow.
this is a terrible picture but this is a philodendron patriciae. they get super long. this one’s putting out like two new leaves. it’s also a climber. the ripples in the leaves get more intense as it matures, so paired with the very long leaves it looks so cool. i can't wait to grow this one bigger.
philodendron pastazanum. it’s a crawler so i’ll be getting a window box to put it in so it has space to grow across the substrate. this has been on my list for a while but i couldn’t find it anywhere. the big heart leaves are just gorgeous.
this is a philodendron melanochrysum. the leaves can get huge. technically i already have a smaller one, but this one was just so gorgeous. i will probably end up planting them together on one moss pole. it’s one of my favorite plants, i am a sucker for velvety leaves. you can see one of the older leaves is getting ready to drop, and i think i'm going to try to make a project out of it.
philodendron tortum. it feels like the kind of plant that would have been growing while the dinos were around. it's very reminiscent of a fern, but it is also a climber. i had one like two years ago but i had to sell it to pay some bills, so i'm happy to have it back in my collection.
the one in the center. anthurium veitchii, or king anthurium. this one was kind of an impulse buy. i don’t usually do anthurium but it was cheap and looked incredibly cool. they look even cooler when they get mature.
what is a king without his queen. anthurium warocqueanum, or queen anthurium. i wasn't sure if i wanted to tackle this one bc it's notoriously hard to take care of, but it was very cheap so i took the plunge. these also get super long, and the velvety shiny leaves are so pretty.
monstera obliqua peru. this was a unicorn plant. it is difficult to find in the wild, grows slowly, and is hard to propagate, so it was mostly just passed from collector to collector until the plant boom during covid. nodes of this plant, literally just bits of stem you would cross your fingers and hope would root and grow leaves, were going for a thousand dollars and a single leaf up to three thousand dollars a year or two ago. and now i have a very full plant for only forty bucks. 2020 me is screaming. this specimen looks a little squished from the trek from south america to the midwest, but when it acclimates to its new environment, it's going to look so cool. this is another plant that has dino vibes.
and finally the grand finale. philodendron spiritus sancti. i honestly can't believe i'm typing this. this plant is considered to be one of the rarest philodendrons in the world - if not the rarest. it only grows in one place, and there are reportedly only 10 known plants left in the wild because of a combination of poaching and the excessive clearing of their habitat. it was another one that pretty much only existed in high level (wealthy) collections for a very long time. now, more specimens of this plant exist in private collections than in the wild, which makes ownership of this plant very emotional for me. this is a plant that was going for upwards of $14k for large specimens at the height of the plant boom. people were scrambling to get their hands on that one plant that no one could get, the highest prize, a bragging point. no one cared if they were getting it ethically. someone even stole a cutting from a botanical garden just to sell it.
this plant was not on my wishlist because i never thought i would even get to see in person, let alone hold, let alone own. and yet yesterday i picked it up, held it in my hands, saw the two digit price tag, and decided yeah. i think it's only fair that the money a bunch of presbyterians gave me should go to adding a plant called a "spiritus sancti" to my jewish plant collection.
it still doesn't feel real. i can just look over at my plant cabinet, and there it is. a spiritus sancti. bc for me it was never about having a big name plant in my collection. it was never about bragging or showing off or just checking names off a list of things i was supposed to want if i was into houseplants. this plant still exists because botanists and aroid enthusiasts have worked tirelessly to conserve it. and having this little piece of history and the world in my little plant cabinet feels more like a responsibility to me than a prize.
so yeah. those are my new plants. i'm excited to see them grow and still a little starstruck that i was even able to bring home the last two.

wrote a transcript for the imodna conversation below for your/my/everyone's convenience:
I: Hey.
L: Hi.
I: I don't–are you sleeping?
L: No. I was just staring at the wall with my eyes open.
I: Um...big night.
L: How are you feeling?
I: Um......good?
L: You don't have to lie to me.
I: No, I know, yeah, no, it's terrible. I mean, this is scary as hell.
L: Yeah. I'm worried about you.
I: Yeah.
L: This is a lot.
I: Yeah. I feel like, um...I dunno, like I haven't talked to you in a while.
L: Well, we've been busy.
I: No, I know, I know. I just, um...I dunno, since you–since you came back, I've been almost scared to say anything.
L: Say what?
I: ...
I: We want this. Right? We want to do this.
L: Preventing a god-eating god...
I: It's not good.
L: I understand the appeals of how it all sounds. I don't think there's anything wrong in considering what could be with that type of change. I really don't. What makes me nervous about all of it is the unknown unknowns. It's the...the things that we could lose as the cost of some sort of perceived freedom.
I: Yeah. If it takes away all of our, uh...our magic. Anything gifted to us from something greater. Yeah.
L: We still have the chance to live a normal life. If you wish to have a quiet life in a cozy cottage in a field, raise horses, and just be. No gods or fates or destiny can keep you from that. Can keep us from that. The gods have never kept us from our ability to have choice.
I: Yeah.
L: You have a choice. A very difficult one. But that is just as much of a real power as your abilities to fly or speak in people's minds. If anything, it is the most important power that you possess. Don't let them get in your head or try and claim otherwise.
I: Yeah. All right.
L: I know we haven't talked much here recently, but I think in a way, it's just...I feel so comfortable and so bonded with you, and...we transcend words, our relationship. You'll always have me. I'll always be there to support you.
I: Okay.
L: No matter what you choose. And you don't have to make these choices alone.
I: [I give her a hug.] I love you so much.
L: I love you more than anything.
L: You know, I had an amusing conversation with Ashton the other night. And they asked, or commented, about how odd it is that I'm the more grounded and secure one.
I: Between the two of y'all?
L: Mhm.
I: *laughs* Yeah.
L: I think it's because...I feel like I have a strong foundation. And that's you.
I: Yeah.
L: It's you and the rest of these...crazy borderline murderhobos.
I: *laughs* Yeah. You're my tether, Laudna. Sometimes I feel like I'm about to float away, but as long as you're there...
L: You quite literally pulled me from darkness and death. That tether goes beyond this realm and this life.
L: You've got this.
I: We've got this.
L: You're very capable.
I: *laughs, nods* Yeah. My mom was trying to show me a world that would, um, would be freeing, if I just went back to being normal. But...I feel like......I feel like our weirdness is what makes us right. Is that dumb?
L: Not at all.
I: This locket, it says "the better halves make a better whole." You have to love it all.
L: I don't mind being your better half!
I: *laughs*
L: And I think you're absolutely right. Look at us, do you really think we're destined for "normalcy"?
I: No. No.
L: That's boring anyway.
I: These weirdos are gonna get shit done.
L: Hell yeah we do.
I: All right.
L: Wanna cuddle up?
I: Yeah. Yeah.

If somebody brandished me in front of their entire household like that I'd die from sheer embarrassment.
Maybe it's because I know what's coming, I can't help but feel the grip of dread coiling around me. There's technically nothing wrong with Shaghad in these panels, but I find myself wincing and bracing myself. Like, he's presumably close to his household staff, they're all smiling, Elam looks really happy for them, but I can't share their smile. I wonder how I would've felt towards these panels if I didn't know what would happen (by the time this chapter came around and I first read it I unfortunately already watched the anime and knew what was coming).
We don't see his face, his eyes. His smile is a bit too wide. He doesn't respond to what Narsus actually said. Shaghad's “Narsus!” was said a little too forcefully.
He must've heard what Arslan represents, as established in previous chapters the residents of Gilan know Arslan wants to abolish slavery.
Shaghad wants no part of it.
First hint in the scene that, uh-oh, things aren't gonna be smooth sailing for Narsus.
“You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"
MY POINT EXACTLY.
I know the quote is only so tangentially relevant if you tilt your head sideways and squint, but I couldn't resist.
Stories are important, y'all.
Elam must be feeling so terrible, seeing as he was once a slave too (and looks like these slaves aren't even being treated kindly to boot, and Shaghad dares to proclaim “there's nothing wrong w the system if the master is merciful!” when he himself is not even a merciful master...)
Shaghad is the type of person that, when someone says “it's not fair!”, laughs and smugly sneers at the person “the world's not fair, deal with it”. Or one of those dudebro types who mock emotions and stuff by saying “brooo that's all chemicals nothing you say is valid and nothing you feel is real”.
God I hate this guy.
I do wonder when/how he changed, though. How'd he go from being so close to Narsus, enough for the latter to trust him, to... this? Maybe the inferiority-resentment combo he felt made him veer off-course. He was always the “disreputable” type, so I guess his descent wasn't very difficult.
This panel is making me feel things. Narsus and Elam are so small, the gates of Shaghad's estate looming behind them. The way the shadow is positioned evokes the feeling that they're leaving darkness behind. Compared to the grand, warm welcome they received with servants lining the gate, there's no one to see them off when they depart. Ough.
The way the line “When even a love may wither with time, why expect more of friendship?” is positioned over a panel of ocean waves about to erase footprints (I think?). Arakawa is a genius.
Also, Narsus sounds so dad-like in this scene, and Elam... is not okay. I wonder what he's thinking.
Oughohohoho Farangis PRETTY
How tf did Pelagius not recognize her, is he blind?? And of course, I loved the part where she just. THROWS HIM. Woman's STRONK.

i love learning about things a week late through youtube recommendations from random channels i've never seen before
(bad grammar and typos cause i'm shooting my shot as fast as possible so I can get back to Important Adult Stuff(TM))
i suppose i can't really gripe because i'm still largely logged out and wouldn't have heard otherwise so maybe I should take it for what it is
i know i'm a random person who writes as a hobby so I don't necessarily "owe" anything to people online, but y'all have been so sweet to me and I feel it would be unfair to keep dropping off the face of the planet like I have been, plus, I have been stewing over quite a bit of my thoughts these past few months and making a large "get all my thoughts out in a word vomit" post is a good way to A.) sort out my shit and B.) to procrastinate homework
college is BEATING MY ASS and i'm not even at the harder junior/senior year type stuff so even if my writer's block wasn't the worst it's ever been I highly doubt I would be writing anything anyway. i cannot say for certain when I'll be able to get back (it seems the universe is tailored specifically to punch me in the face whenever I have the slightest inclination to do so) but i will say it is always on my mind. i don't ever want to give up writing fully because of how many good things it's brought me but i want to be mature and say that it has taken a backseat in my life.
i still don't regret the things I've created and i will always be thankful for the experiences I've had + the friends I've made (even if we haven't talked in a while :') sorry guys) BUT this situation has just become the nail in the coffin for me in terms of what i want to do with my ds/mp and other adjacent fics. i can't say for certain what I'll go through and orphan/keep or just outright delete (WIPS/unfinished series will probably get deleted is what I've decided so far) so this is a BIG WARNING sign right here and now: if there are any ds/mp fics of mine you are fond of, please go and save them now. even if you think the one you really love is "safe" it's better to be cautious and have it yourself than hope for the best outcome.
now's a good time to mention that i have been feeling similar feelings toward my fl0wer husb4nds fics (gonna come out and be honest: i don't particularly care for sc0tt anymore, sorry) so if you like those you should also search them out. i think a hard majority if not all of them will be orphaned, so they'll still be up, but it never hurts to be able to read something while offline anyway
however, due to the aforementioned Important Adult Stuff(TM), i won't be able to get to the whole Properly deleting/orphaning process for a hot minute. that does not mean you should put off saving my fics because my brain could decide one night that i HAVE to do it IMMEDIATELY, but i can promise that it's not happening tonight (might hold off for at least a week just to give people time to see this post).
TSALP, my pride and joy, is perfectly safe and fine. when i think about whenever ill be able to write again, this series is the First thing to pop up in my mind. i have so many things i want to do with that series (and h3rmitcr4ft as a whole) that make me smile despite all that has happened surrounding mc/yt. someone will need to threaten me with death to make me even consider giving that up. hell, even taking a step back, i can say that i will never fully let go of mc/yt. i straight-up have tickets to go see tommy's america show later this month (send my dad well wishes as he's the one taking me LMAO) .
remember to drink water, take breaks, tell your friends you love them etc. I'm terrible at giving advice since I'm a bonafide mess of a person, but i will say that the best thing you can do for each other is support one another. i've always been a bigger fan of giving support to those who are hurt than trying to go and cause more pain to the people that you can argue "deserve" it. the people you care about are going to be with you much longer than the assholes, so be sure to put more energy into focusing on them than the ones that don't even deserve your scorn.
#halo be talkin#dont plan to tag this with any warnings unfortunately but i hope i left it vague enough to not be upsetting but specific enough#to know what im talking about

can i suggest yandere jack (from identity v) hc?
Ooooo the Ripper I see 🎩🔪
Yandere Jack general HCs
Content warnings: Yandere, kidnapping, reader gets marked via Ripper blades, neglect, manipulation, threats, death games, and violent thoughts
(IM SORRY I WAS GONNA TRY TO FIND THE KNIFE EMOJI FIRST BUT THE FUCKING BRITISH TOP HAT IS SENDING ME HOLY SHIT LMAFOOOO)
To be fair and realistic, Jack would've probably bled you out or injured you pretty bad in matches before he was even obsessed,
So watch out for some hardcore vi-o-len-ce lol
Jack is based off of the real serial killer, Jack The Ripper (If that wasn't obvious lol) He's killed several female prostitutes throughout his spree.
If you're afab or present feminine, he's gonna be all over you one way or another.
Obviously, unlike the women he has targeted, you're not completely vurnerable and open to just about anything. He thinks he's infatuated with you because you perserveer through more than just matches. Also, the chases you give him are actually quite fulfilling.
Jack doesn't really think about women too much and only really thinks about himself. Of course on the outside, he's a 'gentleman' with a side of sarcastic asshole. But now that you're in the picture, he's a bit perplexed, and ultimately amused.
What makes you so different from any other woman here? What's a random newbie got him all worked up for?
It's honestly refreshing to get some sort of new thrill around here. Usually it's drab and sluggish when there isn't any event happening.
If you're amab or present masc, he'll be more interested in your skills and mindset more rather than your appearance.
Decoding type darling with be chased more than the actual kiters.
Kiting type darling gets tunneled and sometimes bled out
Dw most of the time, he takes pity on you and gives you dungeon after everyone else has either escaped, bled out, or sent back
Other times, he takes advantage of your wounded state and just spends time with you until the baron gets annoyed with how long yall are taking
Resucing type darling gets terrorshocked and terribly gets camped so there isn't any time or chance left of saving before they're sent off back to the manor.
Stun him and he's def tunneling no matter what type you are lol
Regarding to looks, maybe you actually just had a prettier face/more attractive body?
He can admit, there are a hell lot of attractive male survivors, but he never sought to fall for one.
The sight of you bleeding out on the Asylum floor, leading him with crimson hastily spread on the tiles.
Spouting nasty words at him, knowing you had used up all of whatever ability and strategy you may have had.
How dare you tease him. You're such a naughty thing.
You honestly did this yourself.
Okay here's how y'all met lmao
You connected with another hunter during a friendly match and were invited for tea/hangout date a few days later.
That's where they introduced you to a couple of the other hunters.
That's about one of the only times where he wasn't out for your blood lol
Jack made his way to the hunter who invited you and acted as if he was in a friendly mood.
He then jokingly made fun of you, saying, "My my, this new survivor is quite brave. To come onto the hunter's side of the manor; Now that is dedication."
The hunter that invited you slapped him up a lil bit lmao (They know he was genuinely being the asshole he always is 🤧)
From then on, in matches he always teased you
"Don't run Y/n! I really thought we had a connection!"
"You're honestly breaking my heart dear."
*Pallets him* "Argh... Now now Y/n, I don't think you want to do that again."
*Downs you* "You're far too naive to think you'd be able to escape dear." *traces a singular blade under the shape your jaw, letting only a bit of blood drip down your neck*
*Chairs you* "Sorry, not sorry love." *chuckles and maliciously grins under his mask*
*You save another surv* "Prehaps I should catch you instead Y/n!"
*Terrorshocks you* "Too bad you don't have eyes in the back of your feeble little head Y/n. Too weak for your own good."
*You are the last surv* "Dungeon won't do you any good Y/n, but I'll let you at least try."
*You somehow escape through gate* *Silent turned on anger*
As you can see, he LOVES the chase you give him.
He can never shit tf up, and he always makes sure you respond.
If you complain or confront him about it, he'll apologize and slightly brush it off as just jokes.
"Aw, I do apologize Y/n. You understand I am just joking."
Jack doesn't hide the fact he's into you, but he doesn't flaunt it.
On his own time when his Ripper side isn't effecting him as much, he likes to paint you.
Sometimes he'll paint you in a meadow of flowers in white attire. He sees this false sense of purity in you outside of matches.
Other times, he'll envision you in a desolate place. A location different from the manor, but not so far off of the misery that entails this place.
He knows you're not just an innocent kind person. You have a bad side like rest of them
You're human after all.
When you step through those manor doors, you are declared a participant. Not a saint.
Jack doesn't see you as one type of person. He sees you as this complex, mixed soul that has unfortunately seen too much for their own good.
He wants to salvage whatever purity you have left, and crush it to his hearts content
But what fun would be left if you were only this one dimensional miserable thing?
He likes a good chase you know.
Can't just walk up and slice you to ribbons right then and there, and call it a good kill.
That'd be a waste of time and effort.
So he plans to break you apart, and build you back up bit by bit.
Sadist ✔
I feel like he'd be on the board of kidnapping you, but I think it'd really depend on the circumstances.
If you made good friends with the previously mentioned hunter, then they're gonna have some problems.
It was probably Michiko or Mary. They're more lenient with survivors at times. The rest either often keep to themselves, don't like to socialize, or are more interested in other matters.
I know official art isn't canon, but I like to think he treats other people with respect and is gentlemanly when they aren't in a match setting.
It's really cute to see him hanging with the other hunters and messing with the survs okay?
Mary is nice, but she has a thing against survivors. It's not that she depises them; Some of them are simply better than others, and to be fair, they are technically rivals on opposing sides. So perhaps it's a natural thing.
Of course, she'll show concern if you complain to her.
"Oh- agh, is that what has you all worked up Y/n? Jack may be joking, but he really takes it too far sometimes. Since you are a survivor, I cannot promise you guaranteed safety, but do not fret. For I may be able to assist if I can."
Michiko doesn't enjoy being a hunter. She is very apologetic and tries not to brutally kill survs during matches.
Most survivors are on okay terms with her. Not many hold grudges against her for the harm she gives their way.
Michiko isn't a woman of many words, but she can speak her mind through only a few sentences.
She will be very worried if you complain to her.
The Ripper seems to be harassing you more often? That can't be good.
Jack got too close for comfort during your last match? She feels incredibly sorry for you. Did you need someone to stay close with for the afternoon? She can do that for you.
"I'm sorry Y/n. I cannot aid you during matches, but if you ever need any assist while I'm near, please do not be nervous to seek me out. No matter the circumstance."
If not, then great! Give him some more time to think about how to execute it and you'll be in his room on the Hunter's side in no time!
However, once he claims you, saying you three are good friends,
Mary and Michiko would cause an outrage.
"What do you mean Jack can have Y/n?! The Baron may be cruel with these games, but this is beyond inhumane!"
Michiko wouldnt verbally confront him, but she would physically assault him. Striking him harshly across his face with a mask on hers. Her action says it all.
Both agree you should only be escaping from danger if you're in a match or in a activity. Not from some lovesick unapologetic serial killer.
Michiko is the angrier one out of the two. If he 'loves' you so much, why is he hurting you? Love doesn't require your freedom in order to be with the other!
Jack isn't bothered. Though they both are a nuisance, the Baron has made the final decision with no question.
"Are you afraid of me dear? Please, do not be. I will protect you."
"But i've hurt you before? You understand I only follow the rules right? Don't be angry my love."
He doesn't even properly confess. No sit down, no run throughs, nothing. He just makes it clear that you're his lover, and his only.
"I love you Y/n. I'm obsessed with everything you do. Stay and and behave."
"You are not to look or think about anyone else other than me. Okay Y/n?"
His blades threaten you with each move,
and he knows that.
But Jack doessn't pay any mind to it as he's too occupied with playing with you to care.
You usually quiver in fear and anger during your stay
Your activites include pacing around his room, examining the space, crying and breaking down while he's not there, and just taking the affection he gives you while he is present.
He expects you to reciprocate most of the time. He understands this is new to you, but he knows eventually you'll get used to it, and let the Stockholm Syndrome set in.
If you don't love him back within the first 2 weeks, he's gonna start to get impatient and begin slowly threatening you.
Verbally and physically
"I wonder what would happen if I started to aim for their faces more often... What do you think Y/n?"
*Lightly traces a blade down your back, outlining your spinal cord* "Hm, I'm getting quite bored..."
He'd only let you out for matches, events and dates.
The first time you came back, survivors who did care and were companions came clambering with questions once you reached the waiting table
Are you alright?
Has Jack hurt you at all?
Is there any way to convince the Baron to let you go?
Do you all need a strategy so you can stay safe?
Do they need a strategy so they can stay safe?
After a while, they know now that Jack prefers not to injure you. Though that fact has been set in stone, it doesn't mean he won't hesitate to not hit you if he really needed to.
Since Jack usually bleeds your team out or sends them back to the manor,
Kiters try to lead him to you so he can change targets
They're sorry, they really are
But it's either your or them-
And they know their latter of the plate
Jack doesn't gravely injure you while you're kiting. He just chases you around.
He knows you need all that stored energy released
But he also misses playing with you like this
It's not like you two always get matched
Though the Baron does like to do it half of the time, the other half, you two are forcibly separated
It's only when your morality points are below 50 is when he'll let you go from keeping you out of matches that aren't with him
Maybe he'll swing with claws; Just barely grazing you
It's only when you foolishly bodyblock is where he'll seriously hit you
He'll have someone heal you first before offing them so then you'll be left with little to no injury.
This counts as a date, as you two can wander romantically around the map.
It's a nice change of scenery
Even if you've been there a thousand times in matches before, it's bigger and gives you more of a sense of freedom than when you're in that dreaded bedroom.
Decoders stay close to others
That often leads to unfinished ciphers all around the map
Jack doesn't dare waste time, so he knocks out any survivor that isn't you
When he sees a little decoder, he just can't help but tunnel them until stars start to circle around their head.
Rescuers either miraculously save or die via terrorshock
Other teammates who don't have stunning abilities, or don't have godtier kiting abilities, are usually too afriad to go and assist.
You always feel like a burden and liability to your team for not saving or assisting, but you know it's better to keep decoding. To keep out ot sight.
If Jack sees you, you're fucking toast.
So you stay behind the sidelines
There are times where you secure a tie, though it's no use to rejoice as you'll just be sent back to Jack's room.
Don't even try to think of escaping.
The survivors can't help you
The survs are already tired of fighting the hunters, why do you have to lead your big bad wolf over to their side???
The only time where they can somewhat relax is outside of matches and events where everyone can interact without bloodshed.
If you come over frantically asking for help, they'll try their best, but in the end, they'll only be severely injured and unsuccessful.
As much as they don't like seeing you in Jack's captivity, they don't need you dragging in any more problems than they already have.
Though his Ripper side is what he exhibits most of the time, his original self only comes out in the most tender moments (Which is pretty rare seeing how far gone he is by now)
Like when he paints you, or when you two are cuddling
There isn't that much hostility or bloodlust in his eyes during those times.
In fact, when he's back to his original personality, his unmasked face isn't Intimidating at all
He's honestly dreadfully beautiful
But with his Ripper personality, everything he does just throws you off
Okay actual yandere affection hcs hehe
Jack loooooveeeesss teasing you with playful and romantic words
"Are you going to keep me running after you little dove? You know I love a good chase, but we all have our limits..."
"It seems you are still shy, even after all this time. Perhaps, you are planning something a little more exciting than our kisses?"
"Life isn't worth living without you. Stay, and obey, and I'll show you a whole new world of things."
If you fluster easily, it's fucking game over for you lololol
"Don't turn you angelic face away darling, I don't like it when you hide yourself."
"I'll take everything you have. It's no use covering up if I just, break through."
He gets violently jealous when other people talk to you. Especially survivors.
He doesn't get as envious with hunters. Most of them don't really care and mind their business.
Some gossip and chuckle behind closed doors more than others, but he doesn't mind
Mary and Michiko always try to swipe you away every second they get, so he makes sure to steer clear of them
Everytime they successfully do, you just cry and breakdown, and try to let them know your status of health at the moment.
Knowing they can't really do anything, all they can do is console, listen, and cuss Jack out if they have the chance.
Sometimes they even have enough time before they either caught, or almost caught, to devise a small sabotage plan.
You dont want Jack to hold you against him so hard whole you two are out?
Geisha is coming in with an 'accidental' dash. Sorry Jack, she was in a hurry and placed the butterfly there mindlessly!
You want to be by yourself while you're outside his room?
Mary is forcing Jack to help redecorate the hunter side of the manor. She uses her mirror for symmetry, but just cant make up her mind!
Jack is tall, but he's sick of being used as a ladder of sorts and a conveyer belt for transferring weird decor items.
He leaves when about half an hour passes
"Don't you dare leave a lady waiting Ripper!"
*Runs away* "My apologies Lady Mary! I must get back to Y/n! Perhaps we can continue another time when my love isn't out and about!"
Jack isn't that worried about you running around
There's nowhere to hide
And even if you did try and go hide on the survivors side, you know he WILL slash and destroy everything and anything apart just to find you.
No one wants that, so don't burden the other irrelevant survivors with a mess you created.
Cuddling can soft, or very touchy
Soft cuddling is small talk with the covers up to your necks
Jack is always big spoon
Never ask to be in his place
Unless you want to be put back in yours
Touchy sessions are normal
He's careful with his blades of course, but he always has them lightly around your waist
It threatens you
Jack wouldn't dare to spill your guts right then and there right?
Even if you come back from death, he wouldn't prefer looking at you physically broken, right?
...
Pray bitch
Nahhhh jkjk it's only a scare tatic
Don't try him though
Pushiment is necessary
You can't escape it even if you've been good
He's strict in and out of the bedroom (not like that lmfao)
Jack had set out rules for you the moment he wrapped claws around you
The big three are,
Look at him, think about him, and love him, and him only
Don't escape
And don't you dare try getting by without even struggling
He may want to break you, but he doesn't want a toy that malfunctions after only a little while
He doesn't want you to be unrepairable
Unlike...
Break any of these at any time, day, moment, or circumstance,
And you're getting punished without mercy
A lesson can't be learned with not done properly no?
There isn't just a couple of set in stone punishments
Whatever he feels like doing to you, he'll do it
Why did you have to talk to Gatelea? You know, if he hadn't made it obvious enough, he'll just have to mark you as his
Again
Maybe he'll tear his initials in you this time. Even if you die and come back, the baron keeps the scars caused by Jack. It pleases the Ripper greatly.
You want to play in more matches? but don't you know that isn't allowed?
Oh well, it can't be helped. Jack will let you go after a little while of complaining.
But if you come back gravely injured? Oh, that's too bad. Emily isn't a hunter, and after all, you have to face the consequences of your own actions.
The only way to convince Jack to let you get treated is to beg. Beg on you hands and knees like your life depends on it (Which it does)
He'll take pity on you and waltz over to the survivors side with the Barons permission to heal his pet
Emily with no doubt, will try to get him out of the room just to talk to you while treating your injuries
"Why can't I stay with Y/n?"
"The patient has some injuries that may get worse with anxiety. Please let them breathe by themselves for a bit."
She'll then treat them while you quietly vent. After that, she'll embrace you.
Emily doesn't say much, but she knows that you need someone to understand your situation outside of matches.
She may have to leave you for dead during those games, but outside of them, she'll fight for you endlessly in more ways than one.
You don't reciprocate his affections?
He likes some fight, but resist for too long, and he won't hesitate to hold you down and threaten you.
"Don't think you're safe just because you're my beloved."
Sometimes he'll starve you of food if you've been ungrateful.
"Are you hungry my little dove? But if I supply you with food, you'll only end up more spoiled no?"
I like to think they have bathrooms in their personal rooms, so when you need to shower or change, he'll give you whatever you need and give you privacy
It's pretty much the only privacy he ever gives you
He has all of your clothes, but he controls what you wear wheater you like it or not
You only really get to wear your pants and shorts and such
Everything else you wear is his.
Hunters are like fucking 7ft and lanky asf so you're gonna fucking fit no matter what
Lots of material to work with laurv
Goes fucking crazy over your collar bones, shoulders, and thighs
Since he's from a more conservative time, off the shoulder tops and shorts have his brain cells fizzing out
*Insert that one SVTFOE clip where Star realizes she bi and is blushing hard asf*
"Are you trying to rile me up angel?"
Dates consist of three locations.
His room, match locations, and events
You two do the usual stuff in his room
Kissing, cuddling, talking, literally just living, etc.
In match locations, as explained above, he kills everyone else and strolls along the area with you
Events are actually pretty often
Parties for new essences, celebrations for the new year, birthdays, etc.
Jack will let you run around with your survivor friends because God knows you need it
But after that, you're gonna be on lockdown
"Did you have fun my dear Y/n? You didn't have more fun with them than with me hm?"
"That's good to hear. Now, let's get you cleaned up. You're covered in their filthy presence ."
He knows he shouldn't ruin such celebrations. They bring excitement and entertainment in a positive light.
Jack doesn't only love spilling the insides of the survivors, he also loves the lighter things in life.
Although all he wants to do is slaughter all of the survivors clambering around you, he surprisingly only turns away and finds a flock of his own
The other hunters tease him and sometimes prod at his relationship with you
UGH MY FUCKING GOD I MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE A PART TWO BC IM GOING OVER THE LIMIT WTF.
I'm sorry but this ask has made me fucking obsessed with Jack. I've never been into him before BUT THIS FUCKED ME UP. Thank you doing that.

Okay, now I've finished-finished KH2, and like... I don't have *terribly* much to add (post-mortem edit: lie), since I was pretty much on the brink of the final battle when I last posted about the game, but DAMN. That was actually really sweet/heartwarming.
First off, holy SHIT that final battle was movie-like as all hell. The choreographed action and reaction commands... woah. I was such a dumbass during multiple Xemnas phases, though, it was a wonder I beat him first try. Buckle up for my dumbass endeavors, it's a trip.
That part where you're flying to his little throne thing and he's tossing buildings at you was fun, because I kept launching myself against his fucking barrier and getting repelled/damaged and Xemnas was all "why do you despise the void," over and over again. I was so confused, but just... kept trying like a bullheaded idiot until my health was nose-diving and Riku started healing Sora. Cue me screaming into the void like "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?" Started playing Marco-Polo when Riku would say "Sora!" every time his health dropped, and eventually found him on a building at the bottom of the map I was supposed to fling at Xemnas apparently? 😂
Two other cringe-fails on my end... when Xemnas was tasering Sora and you briefly shift into Riku to complete mission 'Save His Guy,' I was beating the decoy Xemnas to death like "DON'T WORRY SORA, I'VE GOT YOU," only to realize right before Sora bit the dust that you were supposed to walk up to the other Xemnas actively doing the electrocution and just... y'know... tap the reaction command. I'm sensing a common theme here...
And to top it off, on that scene that would Otherwise Be Really Cool where Sora and Riku are meant to deflect the lasers from Xemnas, I must've missed my chance for the reaction command, and it was really fucking hilarious to watch actually, because you have the action movie sweeping spiral shot, where Riku's Understood The Instructions, leaping around and deflecting everything like a ninja, whereas Sora was utterly stunlocked, and just sort of... standing there... getting hit over and over again... it looked so pathetic, haha.
Anyway, actual plot aside from me being bad at the game, and by plot I mean Sora and Riku just being the heart and soul of the cracked out finale, apparently:
(Although shout-out to Roxas for making me feel all weepy just by saying "Look sharp," I'm eternally sad. Someone free him.)
I just... I don't even know where to start, guys. Riku being angsty, "How am I gonna face everyone?" only for Sora to go "Like this!" And make the goofiest little face to cheer Riku up, and it WORKED. That was just... I cooed, y'all.
These faces (I tracked down the GIF because I was just appalled the animators in a 2006 game had them make goo-goo eyes at each other, Sora looking away like that is what gets me):
Xemnas trying to pit them against each other in his boss fight, but you know it just wouldn't matter, because of *course* Sora trusts Riku, he can't imagine thinking otherwise, and of *course* Riku was jealous of Sora in some aspects (which was addressed later, wooo), but it didn't matter, because he just wanted to be able to be with Sora over any misgivings he might've had about his self image.
(Side Note: What in the Sam-Hill did Xemnas mean when he said there were falsehoods in their hearts? Excuse me? Will that be expanded upon? What are they denying??)
And like... they literally ended up trapped in KH Hell-equivalent, and they were just... fine?? with it?? Just completely zen on the beach (I can't help but find it interesting that the realm of darkness is a beach like Destiny Islands, and wonder if there's some light/dark parallels about the trio involving that), staring out at the water side by side, fully knowing they could just wither away there, but it was cool, because they were together. "I've got something you could never imitate too," (Which was being Riku's friend, godDAMN Sora you're gonna make me cry 😭) says Sora, just chilled out as all hell.
For further laughs, in the post credits scene where and Riku and Sora were sitting on the Paopu tree, and Sora was like 'where'd the door to light come from?' and I was all excited like a kid paying attention in class or something "Kairi Princess of Heart ex-machina, she and her letter must have been tied to-" and then Riku poked at Sora's heart and was like "From here 😌 It's closer than you think," and then I'm over here, being a vaguely disappointed nerd, like "Oh, no lore. Just... Riku saying Sora is filled with light. They're just... still having a moment. That's fine." (And they were just looking and smiling at each other while the camera was focused on their faces, which is completely interrupted by Kairi running up, pfft- bless her for the tonal whiplash)
Edit: I also loved that credits clip of Sora walking through the secret hideout cave and running his hands along the drawings, you could see his eyes combing over the memories, it was so touching. I loved when he found the drawing him and Kairi made, because I thought of that KH1 cutscene of them as small children carving it out, and you could *see* it in his eyes that Sora had a "Look where I am now," kind of moment. I will never stop screaming about the facial animations for these games.
Anyway that ended up being longer than I expected. The boys are back together and they're mushy. Kairi still has abandonment issues and they'll probably just get worse from here. Someone, somewhere curls up into a fetal position every time a KH villain gives another darkness/light monologue with the dumbest sounding lines known to man. Maleficent's entire subplot this game was just her house-hunting. Michael Mouse acts like a war veteran, and it would be hilarious if post-Ansem the Wise (I missed hearing your voice, Christopher Lee RIP) explosion he starts having survivor's guilt too. Roxas makes me want to cry, and Naminé does too. The mystery of Kairi's Keyblade has not been answered. Nobody has told Sora about Castle Oblivion even though Naminé was Right There. Next time... on Kingdom Hearts...
I wish I could caption this in the KH subtitle font but I'm too lazy to figure out how zip files work at this hour so here's comic sans

20 || The Serum
Series: Trust | Maze Runner (Thomas x OFC)
Word Count: 1.5k
Warnings: none
A/N: Might be a few mistakes
| MASTERLIST |
Later at night Gally and Thomas were going to get Teresa while we waited. When they get back we all, me, Newt, Fry, Brenda, Jorge, Gall, Thomas, and Teresa all sit in a room.
"Gally?" She says as the sack comes off her head.
"Here's how this is gonna go. We're gonna ask you some questions, and you're gonna tell us exactly what we need to know. We'll start off simple. Where's Minho?" Gally grabs a chair to sit in front of her.
"You guys don't seriously think..." She looks at Thomas.
"Don't look at him. Why are you looking at him? Don't look at him. Look at me. He's not gonna help you. Now, we know you have Minho in the building. Where?" Gally sits down in front of her.
"He's with the others in holding. Sublevel three." She tells him.
"How many others?" Newt asks her.
"28." She sighs and we look over at Brenda.
"I can make that work." She tells us.
"No. No, you guys don't understand. The whole level's restricted. You can't get in without a thumbprint ID." Teresa tells us.
"That's why you're gonna come with us." Thomas tells her.
"Well, I don't know. We don't necessarily need her. Right? Not all of her. We just need her finger." Gally gets up but I knew that was too much.
"Gally, back off." I calmly tell him.
"What, are you squeamish? I guarantee you she's done a lot worse to Minho." He points at her.
"That's not the plan. Back off." Thomas gets up.
"It won't make a difference. Do whatever you want to me. You still won't get through the front door. The sensors will pick you up the..." Thomas cuts her off. "
"We know. We're tagged. Property of Wicked. You're gonna help us with that, too." Thomas gives her the scalpel.
"Who wants to go first?" Newt asks as we all look at her.
"I'll go first." I take the seat in front of her.
"How does it feel seeing Gally again?" She asks messing with my neck.
"Good. I missed him. Will you just hurry please? Sorta don't wanna have a conversation with you." I'm straight up with her.
"I'm sorry about your mom. I didn't kn-," She says as she finishes but I cut her off.
"Don't. Because you're the reason she's dead. You didn't pull the trigger but you helped in the situation because you called them. I'll never forgive you. And on top of that, I'm sure you, Wicked, have done terrible shit to Minho." I get up up from the chair leaving her and Gally takes the seat next.
"She enjoyed that." Gally says making Fry and me laugh.
"You're probably right." Fry tells him.
"Here see if these fit." Newt gives us Wicked soldiers uniforms.
"Thanks Newt." We tell him.
As we get things ready I eavesdrop on Thomas and Teresa, "She should have turned by now. There's no way she could possibly still..." I'm sure she was talking about Brenda. "You do t believe me?" She follows him as he stands up.
"Do you really expect me to? You made your choice." Thomas tells her as Gally goes to check on them then takes Teresa out so I go with them.
-
"You were in love with her, weren't you?" Brenda asks Thomas as he joins her side.
"No. It was someone I was close with and that was a good friend but got backstabbed." Thomas explains to her.
"Just be careful. You sort of have this problem where you can't walk away from people. Even when you should. You can't save everyone, Thomas." Brenda hands him the gun.
"I can try." He tells her.
"Are you in love with Liz?" She asks him walking away some then turns to face him.
"Yes." He nods his head.
"You should tell her as soon as you can. Don't wait for everything to be over because she'll think you don't actually care about her that way. Plus Gally is an ex she'll always have a special place in her heart for because he was her first boyfriend and first love she can fully remember. If y'all truly had something before the maze, it doesn't matter if she can't remember it. Don't waste time." Brenda tells him so he'll think about as she leaves.
As Thomas joins the group he walks straight up to Elizabeth giving her a passionate kiss. "I love you. I know I should tell you that now and not wait." He explains to her so she laughs at him.
"She loves you too, trust me, but we gotta get going." Gally tells Thomas making Elizabeth hit him.
"Gally's right so let's go." She gives Thomas a smile.
"Which part?" Thomas wants to be sure.
"Both Thomas so let's go get Minho." She walks ahead of the group.
"Say it at least." He grabs her hand.
"I love you too." She pats his chest before climbing down into the hole.
Back in the city Elizabeth splits off with Gally and follow behind him till they meet up with the other three. "Hold on. Hold on. I can get in here." Gally stops as they get in the stairwell.
"Stay there. Throw me the walkie." Thomas says then goes to check the rest of the stairs as Newt starts to cough.
Elizabeth starts to get worried walking over to him placing her hand on his back and sees Teresa staring at him. "Don't you start to cry on me." He looks her in the eyes.
"Frypan, we're in. How you doing?" Thomas walks around. "Hang in there, buddy." He tells Newt while Liz stays close to him.
"This'll work." Gally tells Thomas.
"Brenda, what's your status?" He asks her.
"All right, let's go." Gally tells them.
When we get to the room the four of us shoot at the soldiers taking them out. "It's okay. You guys are okay. Come on." Elizabeth opens one of the door helping the kids out.
"The vault. How do I get in?" Gally asks and the guy said he can't. "Guys, this might take some time." Gally tells the group and Liz sees Minho still wasn't here.
"Shit. He's not here. Where is he?" Elizabeth tells them going up to Teresa so she looks on the computer.
"Somebody's moved him up to the medical wing. Thomas, that's on the other side of the building." She tells her and the guys.
"Okay, take us to him. Right now." Elizabeth tells her.
"All right. I'm coming with you." Newt grabs his things.
"Newt, no, you're not. You have to stay here, wait with Gally for the serum." Thomas tells him and Elizabeth agrees.
"Minho comes first, remember?" Newt tells them and they hate that deep down.
"Just go. We're wasting time. I'll get the serum. We'll meet you out back." Gally tells them.
"Okay, fine. Let's go. Come on." Thomas gets Teresa.
The three put their masks on and follow Teresa through the building. As they get into the elevator Janson stops the door getting in with them. It takes everything in Elizabeth not to shoot him right then and there.
"You're working late." Janson looks at Teresa. "See, that's what I like about you, Teresa. No matter how bleak things get, you just... Well, you never give up. Times like this, you need a friend that you can count on." He tells her.
"I'll bare that in mind." Teresa finally speaks up.
"There is one thing you should know. One friend to another. Thomas is here." Janson says making the three slightly look at each other. "A surveillance picked him up outside the walls. Ava didn't want you to know it but there is a chance that he may try to contact you... and if he does... we'll, I'd like to think that I'd be your first call." Janson explains to her.
"Are you going to kill him?" Teresa ask looking at him.
"Would that be a problem?" Janson asks before they all get out of the elevator.
"Thomas you have to listen to me. Getting that serum won't save Newt. It might by him time, but..." Newt cuts her off.
"Just ignore her. She's trying to get inside your head." Newt grabs her.
"Thomas, listen. You know what's going on out there. People are dying. The world is dying. There's something about your blood I don't understand." Teresa says and Elizabeth starts to think about it. She had a point because Brenda has been completely fine for months.
"Let me run some test. I promise I can protect you." Teresa tells him.
"Yeah? Like you protected Minho?" Thomas takes off his mask making Newt and Liz ask him what the heck.
"How many people is it gonna take? How many more people do they have to round up, torture, kill? When the hell does it stop?" Thomas gets in her face.
"It stops when we find a cure." She tells him.
"There is no goddamn cure!" Thomas shouts at her.
"Thomas, there actually might me... Brenda hasn't ha-," He cuts Elizabeth off.
"You're letting her in your head."

What's up
Hiya all, a little update before I dive into creating a queue again of some sorts, and start planning and posting original stuff. So... I have been incredibly absent, I am fully aware of that, and I have had some time to reflect on the reasons why, in order to maybe be better about writing again.
warning, word vomit incoming, it's just a long text, but it does serve as a decent explanation for my silence and what y'all can expect. I'll put a TL;DR at the bottom.
When this blog started, almost 3 years ago, it was peak pandemic time in my country. I was lonely, bored, and I had just binged all 850+ episodes of One Piece in one go, and needed an outlet. I stumbled up on Tumblr in my fic searching progress and fell deep into the reader insert hole. I used to write fanfic in Dutch, but never got to writing and publishing in English and it seemed like a perfect time to do so, and NakuNakuNoMi the blog was born.
I could write insane amounts within a short amount of time, because I was still studying, and doing so from home allowed me enough time to write up to 3, sometimes even four or five pieces a day and publish them. The next year was similar: still studying, half-distance learning, and bored out of my mind at home.
Last year I got a job as a teacher and I moved out. Having my own space and a roommate that's a friend, as well as not having to deal with my family, allowed me to pick up a lot of my lost hobbies again. I am drawing (although I am not particularly good at it, crocheting, I got a keyboard very recently, most of my writing time is spent writing DnD things, I am reading and gaming a lot more...) I spend a lot of time at my hobbies, and I don't feel the need to be behind my laptop any more every evening.
On top of that, I know I am *only* a high school teacher, but the job does demand a lot from me, time-wise and emotionally, because I also just really want to do the best job I can. Which means that I do spend a lot of time on my laptop just working, leaving very little time for writing.
I was getting a little burnt-out on writing too, putting the bar way too high for myself and sometimes writing things I did not enjoy just because it would give me some more likes and reblogs. That, in combination for not really getting a lot of feedback even for requested things etc, made it very hard to keep motivated, while my other hobbies seemed that much more rewarding.
But I do miss writing, even though I cannot find a lot of time for it anymore. And I miss Tumblr, and the connections I made in these years, even though a lot of them are gone now, mainly due to my own hiatus stacking and anxiety about reaching out, feeling like I am annoying people by messaging them.
So I feel like I will be writing some more. I have one more week off, and I think I want to tackle some of my WIPS.
My system will stay the same: I do no more requests, but people are free to send in suggestions that I may or may not get to. I will not promise anything. Events will work with requests still, but I am not gonna do any events for a while still. The only one I foresee until september or so is an anniversary quickfire event. Other than that I want to finish my summer event next summer, and finish up some other things, finally post some of the multichaptered stories I have been working on in the background.
I will probably be setting up a queue again, and if I find the confidence to do so, I will be posting some of my own OC art and fanart here as well? I am not completely out of that one just yet. It's really not that good haha.
Hope to see you all and make some connections again in this year <3
Love, Hazel
TL;DR
life and hobbies made me too busy to write
I still miss it
I will do another attempt at getting this going again, but hopefully with way less pressure and a very slow queue
Maybe post terrible fanart? If you'd be up for that

flower asks!
white carnation, jasmine, azalea, bluebell, tigerlily, aster (lol), lavender, and/or freesia
Thanks for the ask! This one's a long one so buckle up.
White Carnation - Would you ever want to get a piercing? Where?
This may sound funny, but I have zero piercings (not even my ears) and I highly doubt I'll ever get any. It's just never appealed to me, idk. My grandma never pierced hers, she always wore clip-ons.
Jasmine - Describe your dream partner or best friend. What kind of personality traits do they have?
All my friends I would consider my "dream" friends (my irls and if we're friends on Tumblr you also count). As for dream partner... I mean, I'm not sure. I guess someone who's nice. They should be supportive of me and, to quote a thing my mom sent me, "the weird little things that make my heart happy." Someone who makes me excited to wake up in the morning and who would take me to the theatre once in a while. Someone who encourages me to be the best version of myself. Also someone who can take my darker sense of humor and keep me grounded when I inevitably become a whirlwind of undiagnosed adhd or whatever the fuck I have. Also some blue eyes, same as my mom blue eyes can make me absolutely weak.
That was a tangent, but I am a writer so-
Azalea - What is the most recent song you've listened to? How do you feel about it?
Okay this is gonna sound completely fucking unhinged, especially since it's so short, but last night I had Busted from Phineas and Ferb on repeat for like, three hours as I was doing a doodle because it came across my youtube feed and I realized it's like... exactly like a major scene I have planned for a fic, just without the musical swagger.
Cut to me fifteen minutes into this loop alone in my dorm room pretending I'm [Unnamed Character A] telling off [Unnamed Character B] for [Unnamed Event].
Bluebell - Do you have any pets? If so, what are their names?
I'm currently separated from them by "educational distance" but I have two kitties at home, a Tortie named Jackie and an Orange Boy Cat named Maggie (He has a more feminine name because PetSmart told us he was a girl when we adopted him since they *said* they did a spay operation... but then he had to get a surgery where they told us he was a boy... but by then Maggie had stuck and we'd already gone through three hours of arguing on what to name him in the first place).
Tigerlily - Do you have any favorite quotes from any movies, tv shows, books, or poetry? (Or from people in real life)
Y'all, I have a million favorite quotes from a million things. For now I'll give you one of each
Movie: "Ghosts are real. This much I know. There are things that tie them to a place, very much like they do us. Some remain tethered to a patch of land, a time and date, the spilling of blood, a terrible crime. But there are others-- others that hold onto an emotion, a drive, loss, revenge... Or love. Those-- They never go away." -Edith Cushing in my all time favorite movie, "Crimson Peak."
(I'm also like, 99% sure I'm being followed by a ghost or spirit of some sort so)
TV Show: I'm pretty sure me saying Henry's fifteen minute monologue in Stranger Things is cheating since that's, like, many many quotes, but I'll say it anyways because those fifteen minutes were life changing.
Book: I wish it was easier for me to find a quote, but unfortunately all my books are packed away for move-out in a couple weeks. My memory is eluding me so just pretend like I either said something really profound or something extremely stupid.
Play: "You're still beautiful." "You don't have to lie to me." "It's not lying, it's looking at things another way." From Wicked, my favorite musical (am I basic for that, maybe). Seeing this on Broadway last summer was a religious experience and I'm gonna have another one when I see it from the seventh row next year.
(I changed it to play because, fun fact, I don't read poetry that much. Another thing from my mom, she hates poetry... bear in mind this woman has a BA in English)
Real Life: "People are like 'you're weird' and I'm like 'yes, I've been waiting sixty years to get that compliment'" -my history professor. The man's said so much wild shit this semester I have an entire discord channel devoted to recording his quotes, dude's a legend.
Aster - Do you have any fictional crushes on any movie, tv show...
...
Okay I had a collage I made of every character I've had a crush on, lemme see if I can find it so I can be concise.
(One frantic search later)
It's not fully updated, so lemme just make one rq, every character I actively have a crush on (give or take one or two):
Moving on.
Lavender - What's currently on your mind (aside from the ask game)
How much of a degenerate I am.
No, but in reality, I have two packages I'm waiting for and I keep obsessively tracking them because I'm terrified they'll not get to me before my move-out date.
Freesia - What do you want people to remember you for? Serious or not serious answers.
I can say my writing in a serious and a not serious way. Remember me for my s tier descriptions and remember me for whatever the fuck this is:

I've been in fandom for over a decade. Writing fanfic, reading fanfic, reading metas, so on and so forth. Tolkien has been my biggest obsession, but plenty others have come and gone. I was on fanfiction.net, even some live journal, and then of course ao3.
I don't believe in public critiques of individual fanfics, generally. We're all doing this for fun, and putting our work online for free. So I don't condone harassment or flaming a work in the comments or anything. "Don't like don't read." Okay.
But I do think that it's acceptable, and even necessary sometimes, to call out wider trends. And there's something that's really been bothering me. I don't like drama, and I didn't want to make this post for the longest time for fear of getting caught up in some. But there's a distinct possibility that I'll lose most access to the internet in the next month or two. So I've decided, y'know what, let's do this.
Fandom has a massive incest problem.
It is not any one fandom in particular, though some are certainly worse than others. But it's a general trend throughout, and it's growing.
Now - okay - let's be clear about a few things. I'm not pro censorship. I'm also, like... I'm writing a post on Tumblr that tbh I expect like three people to read. I have no power to censor anything anyone wants to post. But I think it's fair that, just as y'all have that right, I have the right to comment on what I'm noticing. Because it's not just that incest keeps popping up; it's how it's being portrayed.
I am a victim of incest. I can tell you, it is not a ~forbidden love.~ It is not sexy. It is horrific. Even the mildest cases. There's a difference between exploring mature topics and romanticizing abuse, and a lot of fandom is firmly in that second category. So then what that means is a space is being made where victims won't feel comfortable but perpetrators will. I've even seen victims mocked for raising concerns. And I just. I just want people to be aware of that. It does matter, it does have an impact. I've been in fandom for years, just watching more and more and more sibling ships come up...If there are siblings in a franchise there's gonna be hot! Sexy! Fic of them getting it on....... A lot of people just seem used to it now. If someone says they're not into that sort of thing, I've noticed they often go out of their way to stress that if anyone else present does like it then that's fine and they're not judging.
I'm a very laissez-faire, "curate your own online experience" type of person. But I do think that it's a bit weird to fall over yourself to assure people that if they ship parents with their children they're totally valid.
Offline, I have found that I need to be careful about mentioning any aspect of the incest I survived. The terrible thing is just, there's a non zero chance the person I'm talking to will be aroused by my trauma. It has happened before. I am not blaming fandom for this. But fandom is absolutely part of the societal romanticizing of ~forbidden love,~ even to the point of eroticizing abuse.
At one point the fandom I was in was so intolerable to me that I thought about writing an incest story myself - the way it actually is. Because I've never seen an incest fanfic that portrayed it honestly. They don't seem interested. It's curious to me, how disconnected fandom's idea of incest is from how it plays out irl. I do not know why this is.
I've said most everything I wanted to... Thank you for listening.
#please do not come and rules lawyer to me about instances where it might be acceptable. that's really not the point of this#and i am not an arbiter of what is good and morally correct#this is just something that's been hurting me a long time and i wanted to speak about it#tw incest#fandom

random thoughts abt the shows i'm watching don't judge me for what shows i'm watching
i am impatient to see how That Plotline in t/d l/sso is gonna work out.
but it is interesting. so 8 episodes left, 8 weeks left.
and everything is up in the air. kind of unsettling but also compelling. it's nice that i can't actually predict what they're going to do with most of the characters. there are some things i'm sure of (trent is not going to out colin) some things i'm like "it would make sense, but not putting all my eggs in that basket yet..." (trent coming out, himself, and being like ??? y'all didn't know?) and everything else i'm like goddamn i literally have no clue (sam? rebecca? bex? keeley? zava? ted's Entire Situation?)
i didn't like at all michelle's face at the end of the episode & how we're just supposed to be like "good for ted voicing his feelings abt how what she did was scummy as fuck, but in his frustratingly calm way"
like. she's just. what, happy that he's now starting to be honest abt when he's upset? like i get that. but my Hetero Nonsense Instincts kicked in and i'm IMMEDIATELY worried he's gonna get back together with her. normally i'd say that's unlikely to happen w this show, but christ, the straights are fucking unpredictable. so much so that i'm also a little bit worried that rebecca's gonna end up with ted. both would Fucking Terrible Outcomes, story-wise and character-wise, and this is the final season, so i hope they don't fuck it up.
i also think the team getting so many red cards in the second half was kind of. pushing it. like yeah yeah, "lesson learned", fighting from a place of only hatred and anger--especially when it's FRESH--isn't great. but that was. laying it on a little thick. i don't think ted is the kind of person who ever really needs to be in the 'i told you so' position, and i didn't particularly like it. felt like a weird plot for that episode.
but i'm also just in a weird mood and having the colin, michael, and trent situation has me like 👀👀👀 so y'know lol
anyway also season two of sh/dow and b/ne is SO MUCH BETTER THAN FIRST SEASON.
we just made it to episode 7 and quite frankly i am So Tired of alina.
if i understand correctly, the first books were JUST abt her & her entire story?
how did anyone stand that. or did the show just make her so much worse?
i'm just frustrated by the cluelessness and...like... aughaughadgjalsdkfj
for a minute there i was much more compelled by her and her story. she didn't drive me up the wall.
and episode 7 sort of sent her careening again. they end on a cliffhanger--objectively useless given they released all 8 episodes at once--and i'm like "yeah right as fucking if, i know how this is gonna go down, it's v silly"
i mean it's NOT, but also.
you're telling me the wraith, inej, is just STANDING THERE WITH THE SWORD OF LEGEND DOING NOTHING?
yeah okay. c'mon, inej. as if. esp w nina and zoya there, too, like what the fuck.
Everybody Is Fucking Stupid
also it's always a little //shrug when you can see character deaths coming from a mile away.
it's why i LOVED a couple of the middle season episodes--
spoilers, i guess, if you care
but i did NOT see baghra's death coming! that was a shock, but it made so much sense! it was narratively compelling, it created an interesting timer and plot element, etc. very cool.
episode 7, though?
yeah no i knew nikolai's bestie was gonna eat it. i knew david would fucking sacrifice himself like a dipshit, bc narrative balance or whatever, bc he thinks he owe genya or some shit.
it does seem though like maybe this main plot about the fold will be over in the final episode, so if they continue making this show i'd LOVE to keep watching
bc i'm tired of kirigan (ben b/rnes does an incredible job making his silly little lines sound almost actually foreboding--but he basically sells it, bc he comes off as a powerhungry childish man who buys his own bullshit, so job well done) and i'm REALLY tired of alina.
i LOVE nikolai, i think he's very cool. i think they fucking clipped his wings when they made him love alina--SHE'S SO BORING AND ANNOYING, WHAT DO YOU ALL EVEN SEE IN HER?!
i'm literally a lesbian and every other woman character on this show is more interesting and compelling and has more personality than her.
poor girl. her personality boils down to selfish, clueless, obstinate, changeable. that is. about it.
it's just sort of wild.
for a minute there in season two it was like "oh okay. i'm beginning to understand her, now. she's been through a lot, and it's finally showing."
and then we swung right back around to "right, yeah. selfish and emotionally immature shortsighted dipshit. alas."
imagine if literally any other character in the show was the sun summoner. my god. kaz? inej? that would be fucking wild. i love it.
obviously that's not the case bc the books and there's a lot more going on--i'm just saying, narratively and character-wise, they're WAY more interesting and compelling than alina. which is a fucking shame. lol
but i am interested to see how this season ends.
i'd LOVE to keep watching a show abt the crows.
and for the most part i'd just love it if everybody stopped being like. carelessly stupid.
you really didn't think kirigan was going to create a diversion and instead seek to ambush you where you are? you really didn't think that they'd try and get amplifiers, too, or at least be tactically trained? you REALLY think they didn't know about your fucking GIANT NOISY AIRSHIP?
and then also did you REALLY think he wasn't going to immediately go for mal in any circumstance?
you really thought your fort, not far from the fold, was going to be safe from the fold when it's been moving and expanding further for months?
and you REALLY thought, alina, that going to the place where it all began in the heart of the fold WOULDN'T MEAN RUNNING INTO KIRIGAN?!
also why the fuck wasn't inej just swirling around with this sword of legend?! christ.
ANYWAY.
other than that great world and story and just overall very cool.

Imagine M4 with an MC who is afraid of death- Like,everything that keeps happening in everyone's route/story and MC is trying to keep it all together but 'death' keeps coming back to them : Felix dying MORE THAN ONCE,Anisa being hurt sometimes because she's trying to be the perfect knight,Sage who doesn't even care about being scarred fatally cuz he can't exactly die,Rime snatching souls just like that,,,,I feel like everything would take a toll on MC tbh,what r ur headcanons abt this prompt? 👀
Y'know Anon this is very valid and I wish this was explored a little more in canon!
GN!Reader, colored bullets are romantic with that character (Felix, Anisa, Sage, Rime), y'all know the procedure by now
'Oh Oz why didn't you have this separated by character?' Well it's because I think that no matter what route you're in, the Starsworn are all your friends (Rime is iffy to be fair) and they're all gonna notice.
Let's be honest; the boys all have a certain ignorance of death. Felix and Rime are both necromancers and have both died, and Sage has that whole 'undead corruption' thing going on so that kinda dulls him to death. So I think that no matter what route you're in, it's probably Anisa that notices first.
When you're around death like that all the time, it takes a toll on you. You have one of two responses; get numb to it (like the boys) or become hyper-aware and hyper-fearful of it. You, in this instance, are the second option. You don't sleep much because you get nightmares. When your partner goes out on missions you find yourself waiting by the door, anxiety writhing and bubbling in the pit of your gut, so on and so on. You have bags under your eyes all the time. But when anyone points the physical signs out you just say you've been up late studying or have a bad bout of insomnia or something of the like.
When you're afraid like that, you fall asleep during the day when it feels a little safer. So Anisa comes into the lounge one day to find you curled up on the sofa, fretting and muttering to yourself in your sleep. And when she wakes you up your eyes are wild and haunted and brimming with tears and you're so disoriented and out of it that you start babbling about someone dying. Everyone dying. And there was nothing you could do to stop it.
Obviously Anisa is worried. She calms you down and promises that everyone is safe but there's no question you're terrified. She makes you a bit of tea and asks you to explain. She's patient with you, trying to calm you down and help you get your thoughts out.
If you're comfortable with it then she tugs you into her lap while you're talking, smoothing back your hair and kissing your temple and murmuring reassurances that everything is okay. She's so so sorry she didn't notice this before. Of course this sort of thing has to be terrifying for you. She and the Starsworn have been dealing with this sort of thing for years. It was unfair of them to throw you into all of this and expect you to just be okay. Honestly, she feels guilty. But she's determined to make it right, one way or another.
Once you've calmed down and gotten that out, she's able to lull you into an (uneasy) sleep. And then she goes to tell the others.
I think it's safe to say they all feel terrible, but Felix feels particularly shitty. He's always had a pretty blase attitude towards death. Ever since he died when he was young, it just hasn't seemed like that big of a deal. And so when you didn't respond negatively to him being a necromancer back when you first met, he just assumes that you're fine with it. Fine with being stabbed and put on the brink of death by Rime, fine with clutching Felix's dead body in your arms. He put all that on you without any regard for the fact that you might not be as adjusted as he has.
How many times would Sage have died if he was normal? How many times has he been gutted but only survived because of his corruption? Shit, he got impaled by Rime. A lot of that fiasco is hazy - from the pain and the rage clouding his thoughts - but he'll never forget the look of pain, of horror on your face when his blood had splattered against your cheek and shoulder. And that's not even bringing up the glassy, thousand-yard look in your eyes when he'd killed Balsam. Right in front of you. And splashed you in his blood. Gods, how much death and gore has he forced you to witness? It's no wonder you're terrified. He really never was suited to protect you.
... h... how many times has Rime killed you? Or threatened to? Choked you, stabbed you, nearly let you walk off a spire and splatter on the ground below? Sure it's in the past now but it still had to have affected you. Not to mention that whole soul-stealing business. Or that thing with Celena... Gods he really has done just about everything in his power to terrorize you. And you'd done so much to comfort him, help him, heal him, and he... he didn't ever think to return even the most basic of considerations. Fuck. He might be the absolute worst.
The Starsworn come together and, hunched over drinks (tea for Felix and Anisa, wine for Rime, ale for Sage), and try to figure out what the hells to do. Unfortunately there aren't many options. Felix and Rime can whip up some potions to help with anxiety attacks and nightmare, Sage and Anisa can help you refine your self-defense techniques. But it's not gonna be enough.
Everyone is extra delicate for the next couple of days. They keep you away from fighting and violence. Felix and Rime don't talk about their studies. Anisa takes less dangerous missions. Sage stops getting into bar fights. Okay that's a lie but he does get into less fights, and he stays away from the really bloody ones.
Unfortunately, fear isn't that easy to conquer. It isn't out of the question to say that you've been traumatized by everything you've seen and experienced. The only thing anyone can do is be gentle and try to help you through it.
The more you stay with the Starsworn, like it or not, the more you're going to experience the things you're afraid of. The added support will help somewhat. They'll try as hard as they can to help you through it but it's the rough facts of life.
Felix and Rime try to help you get a little more comfortable with the idea of death. It's the only thing they can think to do. I'm not saying they kill each other (or you) or anything like that, but you guys have conversations about it. They (each) try to show you their perspectives about it, y'know? And it's difficult because obviously they've had years to adjust, but they're doing what they can.
Anisa and Sage are,,, not particularly wanting to expose you to more death. They (each) understand why you're so scared and they don't want to minimize that in any way. You're right. In this line of work, death is a real possibility. All they can really do is promise to be more careful.
I think you train a lot harder with the Astrolabe. You're afraid of death, so you'll just have to become the best damned healer this universe has ever seen. And your mastery of your Relic, well, that helps.
But I also think you still hug your partner extra tight before every mission.

What did you think about Cruella's movie? I didn't watch it because I don't see the fun in people trying to make every existing villain "sympathetic". Sometimes we like villains, and sometimes we just hate them. I didn't understand why they wanted to turn Cruella into an "independent strong woman". But anyway, did the movie really try to give Cruella a "sad story" to try to justify her literally wanting to kill puppies in the original movie? Or was it more of an alternate Universe type?
I like to think, out of all the villains in the Disney canon, Cruella De Vil would be at the very top of the list of 'villains that are evil just because'.
Here's the thing: Cruella De Vil is an animal abuser. She wanted to kill puppies for their fucking fur.
So, why the hell are we getting this "tragick backstorieee" about why she became a villain? Because I don't care. I don't care that her mother died, I don't care that she got knocked off a cliff by Dalmatians and that therefore "explains" why Cruella hates them... except it doesn't.
Allow me to direct you to Glenn Close's Cruella. Yes, I'm sort of biased because Glenn Close is a goddamn queen but hear me out.
Glenn Close's Cruella wanted to kill puppies because... fashion. Fur coats were not an acceptable thing to have by the time the live-action 101 Dalmatians rolled about. Not even a decade before the movie's release (in the late 80's), the fur industry throughout the UK was single-handedly destroyed by effective and powerful campaigns by animal rights activists. Fur became taboo. 102 Dalmatians actually touched upon this in one scene.
This played to Cruella's strengths. To hell with ethics, she was still gonna get her fur coat, blowing thousands of pounds on the way and people were gonna be horrified. Anita warns her that fur is crass and inappropriate to wear at various fashion galas - for reasons I've just stated - but Cruella doesn't care because she's gonna look good. Because fashion.
Glenn Close's Cruella was a villain because... fashion. She LIVED for fashion (is there a woman in this wretched world who doesn't?)
If any of y'all had any idea of how ruthless and confident people in the fashion industry are: this is a simple but brilliant villain. She's a parody of fashion designers but, at the same time, she's scarily accurate. Despite them not really trying and letting Glenn Close have a blast, they made a real villain.
A villain pissed off by the limitations of the fashion industry at the time and who sought to rebel against it.
Fashion comes before everything she does, including having a husband and children. This adds complexity and relatability. When I could fully grasp Cruella expressing her sympathies to Anita when she discovered she was pregnant and had thrown away her successful career because of a game designer who hadn't even made a sale yet, I discovered something rather startling:
I'd grown up to be Cruella De Vil.
This is a great fucking villain. She's the lowest of the low (she wants to hurt puppies) but... I still like her? I relate to her??
And she doesn't even need the wild backstory about how parental death caused her to be the way she is for that to be achieved. Also newsflash: parental death doesn't breed animal abusers. You couldn't have picked a worse excuse if you tried.
Also, the portrayal of mental illness in this film was ridiculous. It's almost like the Disney writers were frantically trying to reach for any sensitive subject for Cruella, smack it onto her and hope that it would resonate with SOMEBODY. With no regard for those who actually live and breathe this kind of reality.
Glenn Close's Cruella handed everything to Disney on a silver platter and they pretty much spat on it and said 'nah, we're gonna do a retcon' and it was terrible and I hated that I was robbed of a prequel to Glenn Close's Cruella and how she rose to the top and allowed the world of fashion to corrupt her. Because that can happen to artists and it's such a great thing to explore.
Villains do not always need tragic backstories to explain their actions. They don't always need tragic backstories PERIOD. Especially Disney villains. They're meant to be fun, they're meant to be loud and they're better off simple. Tragic backstories make them too real and too complex and they don't NEED that. They've terrified and amazed generations without them. They're fine as it is.
Also, giving Cruella, Jasper and Horace these cute lil doggy sidekicks was contradictory as all hell and just made no sense. You don't give characters renowned for wanting to ‘poison them, drown them, bash them on the head' the very things they wanted to hurt. Just... what was even the aim of this movie and its characterisation? Because I don't even know.
What's next? We're gonna have a prequel for Captain Ahab from Moby Dick where a whale consumed his entire family but he has a dolphin sidekick voiced by James Corden?
Just a pointless movie that didn't know its source material at all or, at the very worst, just decided it could do better and throw in the hallmarks of a live Disney production nonsensically (i.e. cute fluffy doggies) and think nobody would notice. - RJ
#ask#ask us stuff#honestly just fuck this movie on the basis that it thought it could do better than the live action 101 dalmatians

Hello!!!! I'd very much like to hear your thoughts and analysis on Kent Parson and Taylor Swift because 1) 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Kent brainrot 2) 👀👀 music/character parallels 3) 👀👀👀 it sounds so cool so in conclusion please grace us with your thoughts on him and Lover (if you wanna obviously no pressure!!!!!!). ~kentsparsons
hi friend! I am happy to share my thoughts and I'm glad people are interested!
however a quick jam has anxiety disclaimer: pls nobody get mad if u disagree or don't like this !! these are mostly based on my personal headcanons and interpretations of both the characters and music so if it does not make sense to you it's okay but pls be kind ty <3
this ended up being kinda long lol the brainrot is real
okay so in general: i've always been obsessed with the way taylor described lover as like using a romantic lens to tell many stories like sad, happy, messy, insecurity, all of it can be romantic in some way. and maybe i'm projecting (disclaimer: a lot of how i view kent parson is probably projecting) but i think kent EATS THAT SHIT UP, THAT IS HIS VIBE !! Like maybe he's not always the most forthcoming with his emotions but he still feels deeply and has never gotten over anything in his life. There are a lot of connections I personally made between lover songs and kent's story (specifically his past with Jack) and I think he probably finds it very relatable and uses it to Process Big Emotions.
okay, so now i'm gonna go through some of the songs and explain how I think they relate/apply to this hehe:
Cruel Summer: I don't have to say much about this other than HELLO. KENT "I LOVE YOU, AIN'T THAT THE WORST THING YOU'VE EVER HEARD?" PARSON. IT'S LITERALLY HIM !!! also he definitely screams "I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you" a little extra loud.
The Archer: someone in the tags actually pointed this one out and it's just. aaaaaaaaa this whole song !!! You know he listens to this in the middle of the night staring at the ceiling "who could ever leave me darling, but who could stay?" angsting about the past or about new/future relationships or both.
Soon You'll Get Better: okay for this one basically just: "and I hate to make this all about me. but who am I supposed to talk to? what am I supposed to do? if there's no you?" :((((
Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince: it seems kind of random this is the one that really sells it for me !! This reminds me of Kent and Jack so much I just :((( in this song taylor uses the all-american high school sweethearts romance trope to conceptualize her struggles with the increasingly terrible reality of the american narrative and being a public figure in this reality, in my mind this can easily relate to Kent and Jack's relationship and their early hockey careers. I feel like Kent had this very idealized view of his relationship with Jack. Even if he knew realistically it wasn't the case, he dreamt of them as the It Couple where they end up a super successful nhl stars with all the fame and glory and love. But then that idea is sort of shattered by the reality of the hockey world and homophobia and public opinion and the resulting mental health issues. Kent can relate to this sort of conflict of having/holding onto an idealized perspective while coping with all the bad stuff. Though it's quite metaphorical, I think he sees himself a lot in the narrative of this song and idk he just Gets It. I am probably not explaining it right but aaaaa I could make a whole song fic about this really lol.
okay i was gonna analyze more but this is already so long so here are the other lover songs I think Kent relates to/just likes a lot: death by a thousand cuts, false god, i forgot that you existed, and cornelia street.
It's so hard to make all of this make sense in words, I wish I could like bluetooth connect y'all to my brain so you could see what happens in there when I listen to these songs, but hopefully this somewhat coherent!
and as a bonus here are some other taylor songs i headcanon that kent relates to (there are probably more but off the top of my head): the way i loved you, come in with the rain, all too well (ofc), the lucky one, forever winter, the 1, cardigan, my tears ricochet, tolerate it, cowboy like me, right where you left me.
#i encourage everyone to just listen to the songs and think about him#anyways more anxiety i really hope this isn't bad or a let down lol i have never posted anything like this before so i a little nervous#omgcp#kent parson#jackparse#check please
