> Resign from your JOB and move to ALMYRA.

Well, it has been nice. You will miss a great many things about FÓDLAN, but this is for the best. You make to bid FERDINAND goodbye and depart for the east.

There is no need to be glum. It is not so bad. ALMYRA will be fine. You do not really know much of much about the country, but it will not be here, and that will be preferable. This is a good plan. You want to do this. It will be like a VACATION (or what you assume a VACATION is like), except it will be forever and you will never return. You can write to FERDINAND about the HORSES, and try getting yourself some sun as DOROTHEA has done, and perhaps make yourself some new FRIENDS.

No... No... Actually, you do not want to do this. You do not want to do this at all.

In light of this revelation, it occurs to you that you must give further thought to some of your emergency scenario plans.

Whilst you were mentally four thousand miles away, something else happened, and FERDINAND is now cheerfully espousing the virtues of adopting a fresh new look. How fortunate indeed to have a SORT-OF-BOYFRIEND so immune to the devastating effects of truth.

There is an opening in the conversation, and since you sidestepped the last one so deftly, you are obliged to fill it yourself.

I feel ya, what I love about them is that push and pull between them. They’re a great mirror for each other so when one of them is placed so far below the other it destroys that balance.

I enjoy a lot of ships that contain some form of power imbalance (superbat, timkon, lucmond, codywan, etc) BUT the one ship I don't want that in is my tomarrymort. With a power imbalance there's the idea that "person A is strong enough to hurt person B but they'd never choose to do that," but tomarrymort WOULD and HAVE and i need Harry to have agency. They're equals, just as the prophecy says, and I need my fics to really understand that. Sure some scenarios put them at a power imbalance but that's not what I'm here for

Conditions of Survival - VI

I love it when the unreliable narrator begins to trip and reveal the flaws in their story and themself. I cannot explain how much I adore them. The moment you realize that "wait, something is not right" and start to rethink the whole book is the absolute best thing to happen to you while reading. You just know the reread will be even better.

I don’t know how to say this in a non-obsessed way, but I need the ao3 status updates to be beamed straight into my head whenever the archive goes down. I need that shit announced like we’re in a plane attempting to make a risky landing. Oh we’re down for another 20 minutes because of a server in the Pacific? Sure, thanks. I’ll just wait here.

One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal

I think, ironically, the reason I prefer Claude and Byleth over Byleth with any other lord is because Claude is the only one with whom Byleth is truly an individual. A major aspect to their growth is Claude no longer seeing Byleth as simply a part of his world and instead seeing her as someone with her own aspirations and goals (finding Rhea) that he wants to support too. Dimitri is consumed by grief and rage, so Byleth becomes a mere extension of that and eventual way out rather than her own person. Edelgard needs Byleth in a similar way that Claude initially thinks he needs Byleth: as a sword. A metaphorical representation of her dream, realized. Claude is the one with whom Byleth truly grows and is her own. I won’t pretend Claude doesn’t use Byleth to an extent (essentially forcing her into the throne), but I feel Byleth demonstrates numerous times that Claude’s goal is one that she supports because she believes in it, rather than her simply dedicating herself to him. She believes in his dream, just like he does.

I think the reason Claude and Byleth work so well is because of how similar they are while being so utterly different from one another. They’re both singled out as dangerous, untrustworthy, and other. Byleth, an emotionless, bloodthirsty demon, and Claude, a mixed race wildcard that’s too much of a liability and source of disgust. The immense pain of that kind of upbringing is something they share, but Claude learns to camouflage himself like a panther in a jungle, whereas Byleth, unable to detach herself from it, accepts her identity as a living sword- as a demon. Claude learns the politics, learns the right things to say, the right steps to navigate an invisible minefield. Byleth learns that too much talking is too exposing, too great a risk of revealing how different she really is. Claude survives by becoming bigger than himself, by becoming every single version of himself the world expects him to be. Byleth survives by shrinking herself, reforging herself into a blade.

Please God can someone better than me at video editing sync the beauty and the beast be our guest scene with griffin's taz 'Eat Our Food' from last week, i think it would be hilarious

had to get thoughts and snapshots out of my system sorry for the mess and inconsistency in effort

he finally lays eyes on failnaught for the first time right after Oswald dies (in my hc he passed away suddenly after a heart attack while claude was away on a mission) and when he’s alone he pays his respects to his grandfather the almyran way instead of how it‘s done in leicester/seiros‘ teachings and I think claude may have heard faint whispers coming from the relic at the first touch

There are not NEARLY enough spider-man fics where he uses his full strength & makes people realize he’s been holding back. It doesn’t need to be a whole arc, just give me one chapter. It doesn’t even need to be a full chapter, just give me a paragraph, a sentence, for christ’s sake
