the more i look at it the more i realize human domestication guide stuff is really just "what if a species of benevolent but *extremely* patronizing aliens doms invaded, and their master plan was (in equal measure) cherishing and infantilizing autistic trans girls with problematic kinks (who love it)"

and wouldn't you know it, turns out i'm in the target demo

imagine you are playing a story-based game w the opportunity to learn more abt charas thru a relationship system (eg visual novels), and your ability to explore every relationship is linked to your success in a different part of the game.

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

maybe you were wondering were i've been

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)

[lamentable-comedy]

okay so you're 24, and you've kind of always lived in the shadow of your sister and how great she is. not only is she significantly older than you, she's also the smartest, and the most powerful, and most impressive, and everything everyone could want her to be. so you play the rebel. you don't take anything seriously, you fuck around, you have fun, you sneak out at night. you travel halfway across the world, cause you're young and you're powerful and you have more to learn and you might not be totally over that guy you were dating and anyway why would you bother to stay where you're always being compared to the best?

and then she dies.

she was the best and she died and suddenly you're back home, in the house that still has your teenage angst literally painted on the walls of your room. she's dead, and you're spending most of your time helping her husband raise your nephew when you were supposed to be being young and reckless while she was impressive and powerful and everything she's always been, but she's gone and you're not her.

you watch her husband fall apart. you watch everything she stood for get overturned. you watch her son grow up with a memory instead of a mother. what are you supposed to do? you can't lead a war, you can't raise a child, you can't do what she would be doing if she were here.

by the time you're 30, your brother-in-law's moved on to someone else, like you can just replace the best, and the more time passes the less anyone else around you seems to understand how much they lost. how much they are still losing by not having her here and you

can't.

be.

her.

you never could. no one could. and that was fine when she was still here, but she's gone and it took everything from you, it upturned your whole life, and now you've got to try to keep going despite that?

you know what, fiona pitch, i get it.

Bite Your Tongue Conversation Is Over And Done

What should have happened when Gregor saved the bane

Angry screams came from the crowd. Something shattered at Gregor's feet. It wasn't until a vase, beautifully carved, but still stone, slammed into his head and gregor's hand came back bloody that he realized what was going on. They were being stoned. Stoned to death. For not killing a child. Ares shoved his way in front of him, a bat shield, taking the brunt of the objects. Gregor watched his bond wince, watched his face contort with pain as the stone presents rained down on his injuries, and a roaring filled his head. Drowned out the angry screams. Gregor released one of his own. For a second silence fell, shocked, stunned, silence. Ares blinked in surprise, but lowered his wings, the hailstorm of stone ‘presents’ having stopped. Gregor glowered at the crowd, taking a step forward, until he was standing in front of ares. Protecting his bond. “You dare?” he hissed. The crowd recoiled. “You dare,” he repeated, eyes glowing with fury. “You dare to attack my bond. Dare to draw his blood with your disgusting stone ‘gifts’! Dare to be angry at us??” he laughed, a cold, bitter thing. A vase shattered next to his head. The crowd drew back further and gregor didn't need to turn to feel ares rise at his back, standing taller, his wings spreading threateningly. He hadn't done it before, had been content to get pelted and beaten if it meant protecting gregor and not be marked as even more trouble by the Regalians, but now. Gregor could feel the anger radiating off his bond, like a wave. “Tread very carefully.” Ares warned, his low purr reduced to a rough growl, barely concealed rage simmering under each word. The crowd stepped back even further. “We are the ones going out there. Risking our lives.” Gregor snarled. “We are the children you have chosen to send on these battles. We are the ones who you have nominated to go into battle so you do not have to.” he hissed. Ares stomach brushed against his back and gregor was not afraid as he took a step forward. The crowd winced away from him. From his anger. His wrath. “We are the ones who have to deal with the prophecies. And the enemies. And the battles and war. And we are the ones making the hard choices so you do not have to.” His eyes simmered with rage. “Have any of you even noticed that your Queen is missing from our midsts? That one of your own lies in a hospital bed, his leg mangled?” The crowd flinched. “That is because we are the ones who fight the fight. And make the hard calls. And i will not stand here and let you mock us for it. I will not allow my bond to be stoned for it. Not on my watch.” He lifted a threatening finger when someone in the crowd opened their mouths to object. “Bite your tongue.” Ares snarled, teeth glinting in the torchlight. The Regalian almost swallowed it in his haste to close his mouth. “Conversation is over.” Gregor announced, swinging onto Ares back. “We made our choice. We are done here.” And ares took to the sky.

god i finally watched new episodes my honest reaction is jgiwoaoKzmxmkwkakkak

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

started watching the new live action avatar

it’s. It’s pretty ok I guess? But there’s a lot of things I’m not altogether happy about. It feels very. Generic. Which is kind of sad.

I’m only two episodes in though, so I won’t be too harsh. But there are a few things that I really don’t like, and number one was Aang going into the Avatar State in front of Sokka and Katara for the first time when seeing Monk Gyatso instead of when escaping Zuko, and that moment being isolated instead of the moment everyone in the world knew the Avatar had returned

in the original series, Aang goes into the Avatar State when confronted by irrefutable proof in the form of the skeleton of his best friend and mentor - the airbenders really were massacred and he can no longer deny it.

every statue of the Avatar around the globe lights up in a single moment. the legendary figure’s destined return is announced to the world by an overwhelming outpouring of grief and rage from a young child who just discovered that everyone he ever knew and loved is gone. it’s poignant. the Avatar’s return in that moment is not a triumph. that terrifying show of strength and power, enough to light up the world in its glow, is pure emotional anguish from a small twelve year old, who just saw the dead body of his mentor and now believes he is all alone

and Katara and Sokka having seen the Avatar State before means that there is less of the shock and “what is happening” in this pivotal scene (which was the main focus in the live action). of course Sokka is still concerned about them potentially getting flung off the mountain. but both of them know this reaction for what it is - mysterious power, sure, but primarily, they see and recognize his grief.

I just. what happened to “we’re your family now” and “neither of us are gonna let anything happen to you”??? :(

on a side note, I do feel like Katara and Sokka themselves have been heavily (heh) watered down. it’s a shame. Sokka’s my favourite, and I just think that I. Don’t trust writers with Katara now. (Why is her waterbending a secret? The whole reason she didn’t learn was because there was no one to teach her and she couldn’t leave… also where is her instant connection with Aang… where is their silliness… where did it go…)

however! I did like a couple things that were done and I want to be a bit positive so here

love Zuko and Suki’s actors. they did a great job

Sokka and Suki’s training together was cute ☺️ (though I wish he had worn the uniform of the Kyoshi Warriors…)

Aang himself is adorable :) (wish he got to be a little more silly but Netflix adaptations always are more serious for some reason)

I actually kind of enjoyed getting to see some of the scenes from the war’s outbreak. I prefer the way the original show portrays it, with a lot of info being learned reverse chronologically, but it was cool to see Sozin, and some of the airbenders, and a little more of Gyatso (who I also really enjoyed :’) )

Katara bending water at Aang and it reducing to them splashing each other without even trying to bend. Rare sillies!

I thought Kyoshi herself coming to defend her island was pretty sweet!!!

Katara getting flashbacks to her mother’s death on seeing firebending. Well I don’t like this, obviously, but it clearly shows how her mother’s death haunts her, and if they have Katara face off against Zuko again at the North Pole, it’ll be all the more triumphant.

Suki’s mom!!! Damn she was so cool!!!!!!

Rookie mistake is to believe your own character when they lie to your face.

That said, I don't think this is something that possibly could've happened as long as Roberts was still a part of the New Sequence. Her sense of self and identity were so tightly interwoven with her relationship to the Commodore, as his pseudo-son and the perfect Victorian officer following the Fall, that there was no way to extricate herself from that mindset. Even now, she thinks of herself with masculine language when thinking on that time and that relationship. No matter what happens, she was always his golden boy right up until his death. And only after she'd let go could she come to terms with who she is outside of that relationship, outside of her role in the navy.

I think the shift in her personality brought on by dawnburning may have also played a role in why this was buried so deeply. Dawnlight ego death had made Roberts more selfless, more focused on success of the group than any individual. She's had decades of practice at ignoring her own boundaries and own desires for the sake of the whole. Decades of habit she's still struggling to undo. What's one more voice? Especially when it's mumbling something she neither has the vocabulary nor experience to decipher. Easier to put on the uniform, the one she's expected to wear, because she has nothing else to put on.

Even now, she doesn't really have words for any of it. Roberts isn't entirely sure what she's doing. She's following impulse, trying to find what feels correct, what makes her happy. Her, and not anyone else. I'm not sure if she'd consider herself a woman at this point. She's deliberately not thinking about any of the implications, any of the conclusions, just what feels most right. And only time can tell where she'll go and what that journey will bring.
