Personally, I think the “That’s how it happened right? You standing in my blood, stroking my hair?” Was how it happened. Louis is just super detached from that headspace he was in before, and validly wanting not to have it be true that he didn’t, at one time, care about Claudia being gone, would be reasonable, and in character. Blaming Armand, partly, for why things got to be like that is correct. Though in this instance is misdirected to include things Armand did not in fact do to get it to be like that, but had, very much, done in a recent unrelated incident. He's essentially combining two events together to get it to align with his current set of beliefs. (Surely everyone's looked back on a situation before and saw it differently given time to think or feel differently about it. Get differing information, and so on. The show is directing us to that a lot, if not making it one of its major themes.)

But I say this is probably, almost definitely, the case, because Louis story beats need to be told accurately lest it take away from his character arc, as well his whole character and its complexity. Obstructing from his, very powerful, highly emotionally driven, story in a way that's frankly offensive. Armand having total and complete control over it, is bullshit. While, he does this though, to himself. Does a character armor on himself to get away from his own flaws, and role, in how things came about. Not intentionally, because it is emotional, and a lot of times just a result of blocking out that trauma. But this is something he’s seen doing often - Not remembering situations in the light in which they’re most accurate, and in so doing painting himself better sometimes, and others worse. Straight up forgetting, or overlooking information, and so never reevaluating why certain things came about until this moment. Not accurately applying the emotions of then, to the way he feels about it now, because he can't, or couldn't previously, actually remember it in that way. As he doesn't connect to those feelings, even those memories. His feelings in a lot of ways keep clouding his memories and his judgments of them.

Daniel gets at this too, where he brings up the tapes, and how Louis was basically just raving the whole time, and this story all happened differently then. It's the same story beats, yes, but it's all so emotionally different to the point where information gets completely changed around, even looked at like it's forcefully constructed to be a certain way, and not actually, therefore, accurate. Louis always tells an emotional story, and that’s important. It places him in time and continuum, in his own history as opposed to outside of it. That’s like, I think a history that can’t be overlooked, even if it's a history that's subject to change. And shouldn't history be? Shouldn't we look back on events that took place in our lives differently? Isn't that how any society grows? And why shouldn't Louis judgments be clouded by his emotions when that's the reason for most any other characters actions? Isn't that the story being told here?

unapologetically becoming interested in sukuna only when he’s in his original form

I'm listening to the Red Dragon audiobook, and the one thing I take issue with is that the narrator gives every other southerner an accent, but not Will Graham. None of the adaptations give him an accent. The man grew up poor in rural Louisiana and spent the first part of his career in New Orleans! He's gonna have some sort of accent!

He can be brilliant profiler that Hannibal is interested in or in love with and be a southerner with a southern accent, I promise!

Thinking of Enjou's similarities to Childe and what if being evil adorable dorks is just how they normally do it in the Abyss.

(like the ancient British arts of understatement and queuing, still perfected and practiced up to this day.

or the Irish humorous self-deprecation)

Abyss mages kind of fit there too.

If this is the case, I fully understand our abyssal sibling. I'd pick those guys over the rest of the world as well.

I JUST GOT THE BEST IDEA, SOMEONE PLS DRAW IT-

I present to you..

The "We were traumatized at a young age by our family and/or intergalactic monsters" squad!

Kim Dokja, Sal Fisher (Sally face my little, smol mass murderer), Franbow and Misfortune.

Misfortune, referring to kdj: "Why is your face so blurry?"

Kdj (pretend that he knows that fourth wall makes his face blurry and is very normal to him, ok?): "Ohh, i have a kind of... Of... A mask?"

Sal, turning around dramatically to look at him: "I have a mask too. Welcome to the club."

ANYWAYS, i think that kdj sometimes would enter in their little ""club"" like "I LIVED BITCHES" and Sal would say "THERE'S MINORS HERE" and kdj: "I LIVED UNDERAGED BITCHES"

and also kdj would talk about sys with misfortune, and all of em would compare their fluffy companions (i would say pets, but Biyoo... Is just Biyoo).

Misfortune: "I have a friend named Benjamin! He's a fox!"

Franbow: "i actually have a cat, Mr. Midnight... I love him very much, i don't know how to explain it."

Sal: "I have a lazy ass cat. He's cute. And you, dokja?"

Kdj: "... I have a fluffy, floating, living ball, that communicates with "baat"'s and has a Star Stream channel, that's also my daughter and a kind of reincarnation of the Shin Yoosung from the 41th round."

Sal: "... I'm not gonna even try to ask or understand that thing."

"..... but i think giran might be able to pull off asking to pimp na- [muddiness activates]" no no continue I'm interested

Yeah ok I don't think Giran saying such breeding kink related things would do anything for either of them but if giran said something to the extent of sharing, renting, or pimping naomasa he'd get an interesting enough reaction that he'd end up teasing the poor detective about his exhibitionism for a while

@quiiscnt im taking the opportunity to do 3 😅 so here's #1/3

Send ⭐ for a sample of a new muse I am thinking of writing // accepting

The soft sigh she let out would have come across as exasperated to some, yet those who had come to know her well would see the touch of a smile and the warmth in her eyes. She watched Wendy fall deeper into sleep, marvelling at the way the girl could rest on the floor as she was. Even with the pile of blankets they’d amassed for their ‘movie night’, it wasn’t particularly comfortable on the floor of the lounge.

Charle suppressed a yawn and eyed the movie Lacrima that continued to play softly. Would Wendy wake up if it was turned off? Perhaps she’d wait a few minutes more, just to be sure it was safe. Wendy deserved a good rest, after all. They’d had quite a day of travelling, finally returning home after an extended mission together. Tiring as it had been, it was…nice to not be involved in some world threatening danger for a change. Did they dare get used to it? She supposed she could channel her prophetic powers if she really wanted to know…But the future was too fluid, she knew, nothing could really be certain.

What she did know for sure, was that Wendy would wake up with a stiff neck from the position she was curled in now. Really, she should be moved to her bed, or at least the couch.

Another sigh slipped from Charle as she adjusted herself to stand, paws brushing invisible dirt from her clothes out of habit. Closing her eyes, she focused her magic and allowed it to wash over her, the transformation sending a warmth through her body. Now considerably taller than she was (though her ‘human’ form was still hardly tall), she opened her eyes and peered down at her dearest friend, watching for a moment to see if she remained asleep. Reassured for the moment, Charle quietly shifted closer, glad that she had pushed herself to gain new magic so that she could be of more use. Stronger (and longer) limbs certainly made gently scooping up the young dragon slayer now a lot easier, after all.

With Wendy’s slight form in her arms, she carefully lifted her to the couch and eased her down on the plush surface. Certain the girl wouldn’t wake, Charle straightened up watched her for a moment, a fond smile playing on her lips.

She then turned and picked up one of the blankets from the floor, draping it gently across Wendy before moving to sit upon one of the nearby armchairs with her own blanket. Content for the moment, she allowed her eyes to close and peace to seep in.

And that was when the vision struck.

honestly I think one of the most gender-affirming things I get to hear semi-regularly is that people like my Lector Voice at church lmao

the first time I really served as lector a few years ago I'd filled in last-minute as a favor to my sacristan friend and afterwards he described my reading voice as Savory and I've been thinking about it ever since
