“So,” Harry said, trying not to watch Malfoy light his cigarette with the tip of his finger. Bloody showoff. “How long have we been married?” “Three years?” Malfoy said, shaking out his hand. “A fairly young couple like us? Also, three years is that sweet spot, isn’t it? It’s roughly the time where we might look at each other and say﹕ we need to spice things up a bit, darling.” “By joining a cult,” Harry said. He laughed dryly. “Precisely. We’re weird enough to do something like that. We’re interested in the paranormal. We have somewhat fringe belief systems. We’re fascinated by power and control. You love pulpy fiction, we both have daddy issues.” Harry wasn’t sure how much of this was made up. “We just want to belong. And feel good about ourselves, in a very fucked up, and selfish way. And we love to get kinky.” Harry felt his face grow hot. He swallowed. “How so?” “Oh, you know. We’ve been to a few parties here and there but nothing serious. Nothing too involved. We have a big toy box. We’ve had group sex with friends. We’ve done the whole dogging thing.” “I like to be tied up,” Harry said, playing along. Malfoy looked at him. “Do you?”

Do you think with Kord, Imogen would be going for a 'partners or allies' situation - like with Orym? (I was so relieved when he said that after the vision)

My initial take is that it would be weird for Imogen to seek raw power in this way after holding back from ruidus (plus what she said to the group that night on the roof, and everything that just happened with Delilah) So this feels more... personal?

I'm just curious of your vision!

i am so sorry this gets to you So Late! but to me the way imogen inherently interprets religion already resembles a partnership. whenever imogen invokes faith there is always a prioritisation of power and exchange.

the implication is clear. very fascinating to me that imogen thinks for a holy person to truly lose, he must not only lose his god but he must also lose the status and power granted to him by his faith.

to me this is imogen thinking: a god is just a god. what makes a Faith is what the gods give to its followers first and foremost. i think this view is not malicious at all, considering she genuinely believes this for herself.

because i think back on how when laudna died, imogen saw delilah as a god bc she seemed to be the only one who had sway and power to bring laudna back a second (third) time. was it really hyperbole if there was evidence of worship? how she always kept a second gnarlrock close to laudna's body? begging delilah to take that offering? pleading for guidance? but the moment delilah revealed she was powerless imogen denounced her.

in that same vein, imogen insisted that vecna was not a god because his power and influence was not immediately obvious to her. i think her disdain for the changebringer was because of this same reason.

a show of power impresses her, clearly, so it's all too fitting that she turns to pelor in the very same episode:

what had pelor done for imogen to think he's More Powerful? at that point in time, imogen already knew about deanna and hearthdell. proof upon proof. if he could bring light back from an extended death then he might be able to do something about laudna's. if he could spare an armed angel for a village what could he have spared for a moon?

but the ultimate proof came to imogen in the thalamus vision, witnessing a god whose chin brushed the skies and whose ankle breached the surface of the sea. she saw him smite one of the greatest civilisation in the age of arcanum effortlessly. kord's religion is already synonymous to strength anyway. well, strength, power.

right now she's off to fight something even the gods fear. exandria has called for war. of course imogen is going to pursue the stormlord's thread, the god of battle and warfare, despite the risks to herself. so when kord approached imogen and when imogen responded in kind, it is them recognising the other's sheer power and capability.

the storm is just a bonus thing.

Hot take: If you don't/won't/can't accommodate the known dietary needs of people you're cooking for, you're not actually that good of a cook.

Seriously, if you can only make a limited selection of by-rote recipes that you're too insecure to tweak to accommodate your guests with restrictions or allergies, you really do lose the right to boast about what a great cook you are. Being unable to deviate from a recipe is not a flex.

seungcheol tries to take it in stride. really, he does. he's convinced he can be very normal about this, even though it will probably have him preening the whole day. he's always thrived most on words of affirmation, and what's more affirming than the truth?

jeonghan's joking, of course. he knows deep down that your little slip doesn't immediately entail a relationship, but he's definitely intent on going out swinging. the light teasing is an attempt to get you to think about a time where you can freely say 'i love you' to him every day.

there's a fair amount of sincerity in joshua's reaction. his first thought is to make sure that you're okay with it, since he has some idea that you've probably tripped on the words. but give him that leeway and he'll take it in a heartbeat. you've started saying it; he'll never let you hear the end of it.

if junhui manages to feign nonchalance, it's because of his acting prowess. he's smug and giddy, though he's not about to let you know that. he's the type to pull the rug underneath you a couple of days later, right when you've probably forgotten it. "so…" he'll drawl. "how much do you love me, hm?"

to no one's surprise, soonyoung is decisively not chill about it. this is A Big Deal to him! an 'i love you'? something he's wanted to hear for ages? he needs to make sure he's not dreaming. there's the dopiest smile on his face, because you love him. it's the best thing he's heard.

wonwoo's hands are shaking. his throat is suddenly dry, and he's relatively sure his brain has short-circuited. it's— just an offhand thing. at least that's what he tries to convince himself. the reality: he's going to be replaying the words in his head for weeks on end.

it doesn't strike jihoon immediately. maybe it hits him once you're gone; maybe it occurs to him when the moment has already passed. one thing's for sure: he's not going to let it go unanswered. he's a little late, not on time, but that doesn't mean he doesn't mean it. you know that, right?

the words make something bloom and blossom in seokmin's chest. they take root like a promise, and even though he tries not to get ahead of itself, it's hard. he's so, so happy to hear it from you that he'll be walking on clouds for the days to come.

mingyu doesn't hate you. that much is certain. he just hates the power you have over him— how you can upend his entire day with a couple of choice words. he had thought he'd be stronger than this, but here he is. panicking because of 'ily'? god, he can't afford to be in shambles like this.

ever the rational type, minghao will be the type to press, "how do you love me?" he can't afford any missteps, needs to know you're on the same page. if you love him as a friend, then so be it. but if there's a prospect for anything more, even just a minute worth of it… well. he would like to know.

joking about it is a coping mechanism. that's something seungkwan subscribes to, at the very least. it gives him time to gather his wits, this whole keeping-up-a-facade thing. (ask anyone: he had been smiling a little too hard at his phone when your text came in. the eyes never lie.)

rarely is vernon thrown off his game like this. he's not supposed to be melting over a flippant 'ily', and yet here he is— trying (and failing) to be cool about your slip-up. can you blame him? he's wanted you for so long, and the words can be as good as a promise if he really wanted them to be.

you're not playing fair. chan has half a mind to make you suffer, to not give you the satisfaction of a reaction. alas, he's always had a soft spot for you. that extends to unquestioning forgiveness, and reciprocity where it matters. yes, even in accidental confessions.
