#+ i have other priorities

"It's my brother, isn't it?" The words fall from his mouth before he can stop them, and Sirius waits—waits for Narcissa to shake her head and tell him that no, it's the news of some other tragedy, some other horror, but not Regulus'.

Narcissa nods. "It is."

The world spins and tumbles. "No," Sirius says, waiting for everything to stop. Hunched over, elbows on the table. Head in hands. Stop, stop, stop. "No."

Narcissa stands, because she was raised in the same family as he was. Because they believe different, her and Sirius, but the same traditions are seared into their flesh and bone. "On your feet, cousin." This is the last time she will ever call him that.

Sirius stands, not straight, but low. Bowed down so that the only thing he sees is the patterns on the wood or the table between them, hands still braced on the sides of it because it's the only thing keeping him up.

Narcissa repeats, softer this time. "On your feet, cousin."

So Sirius stands, because of his belief—because of the tradition that's seared into his flesh and bone. Because that's how you do this.

You: "How is my brother, Narcissa?"

And Narcissa: "Your brother is dead, Sirius."

Thoughts on being aroace

[levia-san]

Hero YJH x Demon King KDJ pt.1 || pt.2 || pt.3

Thought I could wrap this silly AU up in two parts, but instead ended up with so many ideas, I could make a multi volume doujin out of it in tears this was supposed to be a fun detour.

Anyway more notes I came up with while drawing:

As YJH alldued to, the demons are basically reborn humans, who have been wronged in some form or another. So, the demons are basically a man made evil of sorts. Their resentment turns into energy which then give their bodies new life.

Demon also all have pointed ears, except KDJ. Whether that's because he's their king or some other reason, is not known. (but to me mwahaha)

I’ve had a life. I think a lot of us here have had a life. And I can count the really good days practically on two hands.

elia martell character of all time because she was playing the game of thrones AND WINNING — survived aerys, set up an alternate court on dragonstone, universally beloved even by most of robert’s anti-targ regime, was probably at least angling to get rid of aerys — but the literal song of ice and fire was being written around her and well. you can’t outrun your inevitable doom.

like. that’s elia’s tragedy, and what makes me so insane about her. she was in the wrong story. she was playing the game of court politics but ended up yoked to 300 years of targaryen collapse and dynastic rot instead. there’s nothing i love more than characters doing their best with the pieces they can see on the board, while the fact slowly dawns on them that the board is in the process of being swallowed by an eldritch monster.

thinking about haikaveh's relationship from the archon quest to a parade of providence being based upon misunderstandings and kaveh actively wanting to avoid confrontation with alhaitham, or disparaging him

and then from a parade of providence onwards, kaveh actively seeking out conversation with alhaitham, feeling comfortable enough to recount his day, drink wine and share snacks together, voluntarily studying together as they had done in the past, calling their shared house a 'home', and going out of his way to search for alhaitham just to tell him about something interesting that happened

their gradual progression has led to them becoming equal companions, and it feels so so deserving - especially with them being perceived as a unit: a unique, exceptional pair (thank you sethos)

I will entrench myself in literature this year no matter what the fuck it takes

[kineticallyanywhere]

Time & Space pages 1-2 ( This is the start || ao3 (not yet!) || next ) Starts less than 24 hours after the death of Willy Stampler. With the job done, there's finally time to sort some things out. They just need the right amount of space.

Don't get me wrong. I love Jinx as a character, but I also think Riot gives her too much. She's always been a favorite of theirs, even in the game, but this is way out of line. You're going to make Arcane new canon, but you don't spend any time at all on other important characters. Totally understand her amount of air time in season one, that's where she became Jinx. Season two? Is she in the priority again? Not even Vi? (who hasn't yet become game Vi by the way). That's very… very… very strange decision. I'd even call it a bad one, considering you only have 9 episodes of 40 minutes max. You're giving all your attention (and possibly time), to a character that should have shaped itself in the first season. Considering how much screen time she had.

AU where Loki doesn’t interfere with Thor’s banishment at all and it takes Thor years to prove himself worthy and when he returns to Asgard everything is just. The same. Nothing seems to have changed at all and everyone greets him like his absence was a minor obstacle that didn’t fundamentally change Thor and the worst part is Loki stepped down from the place as regent without any delay and Thor can’t help but feel there’s something underlaying the way his brother looks at him now and won’t let him touch him and Thor doesn’t know what he could have missed because he doesn’t think he would have found anything wrong with the things around him and how everyone behaves if he hadn’t spent time on Earth reflecting.

buck tells tommy he gets jealous easily. buck has a history of relationships with women who already have well-established priorities in their lives, who don't compromise that for him. from the get go he feels like he's competing for affection and being left behind. tommy keeps showing up for buck like it's a given. like he comes first and it's the most natural thing.

tommy tells buck he's jealous of how the 118 has become a family. buck is the beating heart of that family, the glue that keeps them all together, the emotional core.
