I would love to hear more about your thoughts on Radiance as a lover 🥰🤲

(And mother if you’re comfortable, the idea’s just making my heart burst)

Aw yeah! I get to jabber on about pixelated women! My favorite past time lol.

Radiance as a lover hc:

♤ Catching her eye, meeting her for the first time and for awhile afterwards while you're mere acquaintances, she comes across as a very intense person. When you catch her eye, she immediately knows she wants you. At first she thinks she just wants you in her bed but as time goes by she realizes it's something more.

♤ She gives you her undivided attention when you speak which is part of the reason why she comes across as intense. If the other fae try to interrupt you or speak over you, Radiance will interrupt them and smoothly bring the conversation back to you in a way that makes the one who interrupted you, embarrassed.

♤ Radience is soooo charming. Smooth and witty, she'll make you laugh easily. She will shower you with compliments and gifts to the extreme. It will make you uncomfortable at first but if you ask her to slow down on all the gift giving, she'll pout and tell you that's just her love language. Very sugar mommy vibes lol.

♤ I do feel like even in an AU world where Radiance isn't power hungry like she is in canon, she has to still have a dark side that she was predisposed to. In canon both Gleam/Longclaw and Radiance grew up in the Sun court but Longclaw is nothing like Radiance, their uncles saw something dark in Radiance and they nurtured it until she became the woman she is. In an AU, the uncles don't exist so she didn't grow up to be cruel but that doesn't mean she's perfect.

♤ There are some behaviors and habits she's going to have to unlearn when she gets with you. She's very overprotective and can be possessive. When she realizes the true depths of her feelings for you, she panics. You became her greatest weakness and in the Sun court, any weakness can and will be eagerly exploited by the nobles. At first she wants to hide you away, keep your relationship a secret, not because she's embarrassed by you but she's scared of what "accident" could fall upon you by the fae.

♤ Eventually your relationship becomes public and she refuses to let anyone treat you as inferior, even if you're human. Though Kieran is the Moon Court ruler, she has a fiery temper, the opposite can be said of Radiance. Though Radiance is of the Sun Court, her anger is subtle and icy. Still smiling at the poor unfortunate fool that spoke ill of you, she'll easily tear their entire world apart with just a couple of sentences.

♤ She tries to "forbid" you from leaving the Sun palace, at first. There are fae that want to get their claws on the Sun princess's consort after all, not to mention the one thousand and one dangerous plants and animals out there in the forest. When that doesn't go over well with you she let's it go but you'll always have 2 if not 3 bodyguards when you set foot outside and she dislikes events that take you outside of the palace. And that protectiveness gets worse when you two have children.

Radiance as a mother:

I couldn't help but picture Radiance holding a mini you (if you play as a feminine mc, there has to be some type of magic that would enable 2 women or a woman and an enby to have a child together, I don't care about canon at this point, magic is magic dammit lol) ANYWAY back to what I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself---I pictured Radiance holding a little one year old mini you in her arms, making funny faces and puffing her cheeks to make yours and her daughter/son burst into laughter. And how bright her smile would be.

♤ She'll happily carry all 3 kids if you can't or don't want to (she wanted more but you talked her down to 3). If you carry her child, she'll be extremely doting and overprotective but if she carries your child, she's gonna be a little bit of a brat at times. I'm talking mood swings for days. Her feet and back hurt and her patience with the court's stupidity is very thin. But it's all worth it once your child is born.

♤ She flourishes being a mother. Doesn't want to put her newborn down for a moment. All the court's schemes and machinations disappear when it's just her and her child. Your child will have anything and EVERYTHING they want

Anyway I think I'll stop here, this is getting quite long lol. Thanks for asking me about my hc and letting me go on and on about a pretty woman. 💕

There’s a lot you can learn about it, trust me

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

this literally never stops being funny like dog they made starship troopers with the Baby's First Satire cranked up to 11 and these people are still fucking dumbfounded that the creators don't share their politics

Thinking about Edward Elric as the Amestrian Military's specialest little unfireable boy

State alchemists can be fired for underperforming. We know this up front from the likes of Shou Tucker. And this makes a ton of sense from the homunculi's standpoint since the state alchemists are sacrifice candidates, and the homunculi would want to cull the weakest candidates and focus only on cultivating the strongest ones who stand the best chance of opening the portal.

........Then there's Edward. Who's already opened the portal.

There's no need to cultivate him. No gamble taken on whether he's good enough to open the portal. He passed the final test already. Graduated 4 semesters early.

And as such, has a free pass to do Absolute Fuck All.

And I'm imagining how funny this is from like an outside perspective.

Some newish state alchemist who'd only ever read up on the stories of Edward Elric, ready and excited to start their career of being paid handsomely with endless freedom to research and travel and do anything they want in the pursuit of science... surprised and confused to find themselves put on probation their first month for things like "ignoring orders." Which is, as best they had thought, a famous Edward Elric pastime.

Roy showing a slight bit of stress about his yearly state alchemist report, and Ed just snorting and rolling his eyes at Roy because every year HE just hastily does his on the train ride over (canon in the manga, a travesty it was left out of the anime) and it gets rubber stamped. Ed not realizing that other alchemists' reports get genuinely scrutinized and torn apart while Ed is free to turn in whatever absolute bullshit he thinks of 36 hours ahead of time. One year his report was about whether alchemy could be done via dance (conclusion: no it can't) and no one cared. Roy WANTS to tell Ed there's some kind of unknown favoritism around Ed making him literally bullet-proof but Roy has no way to phrase this that doesn't sound like he's just in denial and mad at how good Ed's train-reports are.

Guy from the Internal Amestrian Affairs sector who's responsible for auditing other internal military personel for any suspicious activity hitting about 1 million red flags for Edward Elric, issuing a STRONG and URGENT recommendation to suspend the alchemist pending further investigation into things like "literal bunk-buddies with two members of the Xingese royalty (enemy nation)" and "spent $10,000,000 of his stipend on a librarian to make her re-copy (what he seemed to interpret as?) military records in some extremely transparent effort to unearth state secrets (it was a recipe book but he was literally asking her about state secrets)" and "literally has never once obeyed an order, ever, not even once in his career, and is on public record having said 'I do not care about the goals and protections of the Amestrian Military. I am in fact only pursuing my own interests several of which are diametrically opposed to the safety and well-being of the governing body of Amestris'"

The issued recommendation is intercepted before it even reaches its intended desk. President Bradley himself has taken issue with it and denies it before a single set of eyes has seen it. The President's veto stamp is a terrifying hammer, used rarely, and it is now sitting on the auditor's desk.

The auditor sleeps with one eye open from then on out.

This is going to be vague as fuck, but there's nothing quite like being called a degenerative pervert by someone wearing a leather harness for the ~aesthetic~.

Like okay, you don't like the kink lifestyle, I get it. Give us back our fit.

Oh, what's that? It's just clothes? Wow. Wild. What a concept 🙃

kabru is canonically too smart for miscommunication trope. if anything laios would flirt with him One Single Time and kabru catches on immediately and runs it through his mental processor (does laios not know what he's doing? -> no he does. is he doing this to practice?? -> laios would not lead me on like that -> is he aware of how i feel? -> am i aware of how i feel???) and then literally the next time laios is free he schedules a meeting they sit down at the table kabru leans across looks him dead in the eyes and says very calmly on a scale of im just playing to lets get married how serious are u about this
