Rating: Mature

Fandom: Saw

Pairing: Mark Hoffman/Peter Strahm

Summary:

It was only ever supposed to be a one night stand. Meaningless, with nothing else to it. Or that's what Peter's intentions had been starting out, except that oops, he fell hard and fast and double oops -- the man he was going out with turned out to be a serial killer's apprentice. His heart hardened and trust broken, Peter vows to put things right and makes it a personal mission to track Mark Hoffman down despite everyone warning him against it, all too determined to not only bring him to justice but also receive answers about their so-called "relationship".

Only, that soon becomes easier said than done when he finds out what's waiting for him.

AKA the one where Strahm knocks up Hoffman and they have to deal with the aftermath.

the modern era was....overwhelming, to put it lightly. overwhelming and a place in which she did not belong. the lights far exceeded the brightness of the sun, the noise was as irritating as naraku's saimyosho and, above all else, it was too crowded. incapable of hearing herself even breathe, what could she do except leave? this city was not a village and the buildings offered little interest for her. what she craved was the woods. the tranquility of the silence the trees offered. a place to think and wonder: why am I alive again?

the strange object given to kikyō upon her resurrection (for what else could it be? she had made peace and yet she continues to live. ) is cast to the side. thrown upon the ground with no interest or care. whatever the wishes of these 'Stars' are, she cares not. there it rests upon the ground as the priestess moves to continue on, intent to walk until she escapes this wretched grouping of metal and living souls.

an unknown voice calls out to her, halting retreating steps. kikyō turns to spare a glance over her shoulder, eyes narrowed at the device held within the stranger's hands. the intention must be to return it. an honest one but pointless overall.

" Leave it. I've no use nor want for what this era holds."

Ah yes. The Calamity and Dalamud.

The cause of Nimue's very first loss and paved the way to prepare her for future losses.

Upon word of Hildibrand's supposed death reaching her ears by none other than Nashu and the Manderville family, things felt like they had spiraled in a heartbeat for her.

Not once did she cry in front of any of them, especially not his parents. She can only imagine the pain both of them felt knowing they had to bury their son. No. It wasn't until she was alone that she finally grieved. Though it was on and off for several days.

She grew distant from the Manderville's and even Nashu, visits becoming less and less, shorter and shorter until she just vanished altogether. She never truly got over his death, but at some point, she managed to deal with it and accept that it was the truth.

At some point, she told herself that loss to things like this would be normal if she were to become an adventurer. So she was prepared to witness the worst, be it a friend or stranger, from there on out.

Upon defeating Titan, she accidentally stumbled across Godbert at Camp Bronze Lake, though much to her surprise, he greeted her as if she had only been gone for a little while and hadn't been avoiding the family for several years.

The Meteor Survivor ring was a gift from him, basically a reminder that something new can be made from even the worst of things. It's because of this that she told herself she'd visit Nashu again once her work with everything was done.

Nearly dying on the battlefield only solidified that choice.

By god though, the moment Hildibrand himself had come forward and Nashu knocked his memories around in his head { or the more correct term, blew the poor man up } and he remembered who they both were. I can promise you that she nearly tackled that man to the ground with a hug, and probably hung on a little too tight, fearing that it was all a dream.

Something she was grateful for that was not the case.

Granted, her outlook on death never changed and it still remained rooted in her mind that death would be the norm to witness. And while this is the case, she silently grieves over those she's lost in the future.

I've seen people say terf rhetoric is any hatred of men and I've seen people say terf rhetoric is anything transphobic said by anyone. the refusal to actually engage with the reality that terfism is primarily focused on oppressing trans women is in itself a form of transmisogyny. yes they hate all trans people, but it is quite easy to see who they primarily target with their words, actions and policies, you just don't want to care about trans women. claiming someone is a man hater doesn't mean you get to call them a terf or a radfem, thats an obvious, willfull dilution and denial of what terfs are.

this actually makes me so happy because we very rarely see purely platonic m/f friendships especially with this belief in society that ALL opposite gender friends have to have a crush on eachother

one of the most annoying things about being both a sera and vivienne enjoyer isn't even the fandom. it's the game itself that is like. primed to try and make you dislike both of them. or at the very least it operates under the assumption that you already don't like them.

the player is rarely allowed to give sera actually positive and understanding responses but is given every opportunity to kick her out of the inquisiton (she is the only companion this is a constant option for) and to insult her/her beliefs. so many of the player dialogue choices have the inquisitor calling sera unreasonable or nonsensical but so few letting you fully agree with her in a way that doesn't sound condescending in some way. this even extends to some of the companions and how they interact with her.

and then for vivienne, she is constantly referred to as being untrustworthy, manipulative, and "only in it for her own goals" when. surprise. everyone here is here for their own goals. solas and blackwall actively lie to and manipulate the player while iron bull has the potential to turn on them completely and cassandra repeatedly presses the inquisitor into being a religious icon to fit her own beliefs, even when they protest. not even mentioning the "but what's her real agenda 🤔" line in her character trailer, the snow white reference in her personal quest, and how her epilogue slides have this Edge to them that no one else seems to get.

idk!! just wow. wish the game liked them more.

A Persuasive Argument - dpxdc

"Great!" Danny says, clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. The dinner table falls silent as everyone looks towards him. It's a full house today and, honestly, Danny's a little nervous. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today."

"It's dinnertime. In our house." Duke mutters, while doing a very bad job of concealing his yawn. He holds his fork poised over the braised beef, but, just like everyone else, still looks towards Danny before tucking in. It's intriguing enough to wait.

"Yeah, no one misses Alfie's dinner." Dick says, with a brilliant smile that Danny can't help but return.

"Precisely! What better time to talk to you all than when you're all actually here!"

"Wait, I thought you came round to work on our English essays?" Tim asks, blinking owlishly.

"I'm afraid I've lured you here under false pretences, Tim."

"This is where I live."

"I would still really appreciate help on that essay though, I mean, what the hell is Hamlet even about? I just don't get that old time-y language, like 'Hark! A ghost hath killed me!' - absolute rubbish, what does that even mean?"

"The ghost never kills anyone in Hamlet, he's there to tell Hamlet that he was murdered. Have you actually read it?"

"No, but it sounds like you have. Tim, I want this guy to help me with my essay instead. I know for a fact that you haven't read Hamlet, either."

"So? We don't need Jason, I've read the Sparknotes."

"Hi Jason, I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you, summarise Hamlet in three sentences or less."

"Am I auditioning to help you write your essays? I can't believe you’ve gone through your whole school life without reading it, it’s good!"

"Hamlet, along with a number of other classics, was banned in our house because it portrayed ghosts as intelligent and sympathetic beings rather than evil, animalistic beasts. I didn’t even get to see The Muppet's Christmas Carol until last year with Tim! It was surprisingly good, and I hate Christmas because everyone always argued and it sucked. But we're getting off topic. I—"

"No, no, please go back to that, because what the fu—"

"Boys, please." Bruce interrupts, looking to the world as if he wants to hang his head in his hands. "Danny, you were about to say something?"

"Oh, yeah, Mr. Wayne! Thanks!"

"Please, call me Bruce."

"Well, that very succinctly brings me to my point, because I'd actually really like to call you dad."

Nobody says a word. Nobody even blinks, all as shocked as the other, watching open-mouthed as Danny pulls his laptop out from beside his chair. Bruce can definitely feel a headache coming on.

"Before you say anything, I've prepared a 69 slide PowerPoint presentation on why you, Bruce Wayne, should adopt me, Danny Last-Name-Pending. Please save your questions, comments, and verdict until the end, thank you."
