One might also say it's counter-productive. Or hypocritical. Incompatible, even.
#proship#I'm so sorry hun but these two values you claim to hold are antithetical to one another#you can't just say you're ''anti purity culture'' and pretend that you don't align with right-wing views on sex and fantasy#to be truly anti purity culture you have to unlearn seeing sex as something harmful#ESPECIALLY when it's just a fantasy#but i do think it's funny when these sorts of people try to act like they're ''above'' all the discourse#and they're so ''morally nuanced''#haha no you just don't have any idea what you're talking about#anyway i think that the pirate and the angler from terraria should kiss#angler can be pirate's little cabin boy <3

idk if this is accurate but i’ve felt like in previous seasons riz & gorgug have been one of the inter-bad kids dynamics we’ve seen the least of & this season has been so great in that aspect. gorgug having helped make some of riz’s magic gear. riz helping gorgug with his studies. the shared birthday party. gorgug’s gift to riz being something he himself made to protect riz. riz’s gift to gorgug being something he illegally grabbed to protect gorgug. gorgug who utilizes rage to put his body on the line for his friends & riz who will take deep levels of mental stress for his friends. even though it was within the context of a joke, riz calling gorgug an “absolute sweetie.” like yea they might not be in a band together or both part of a presidential campaign team or owlbears teammates, but they’d go to war for each other, because they’re best friends.
#riz gukgak#gorgug thistlespring#fantasy high#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#these kids are all so self-sacrificing but i do think riz gorgug are the most clear (& juxtaposed) self-sacrificers#riz will mentally tear himself to pieces and get lost in cases and take on ungodly levels of stress for those he loves#gorgug will use himself as a human shield. he will take hit after hit if it means his friends are okay.#and they’d both do the other thing too. riz would let himself get hit for gorgug. gorgug would pull all nighters & take stress for riz.#even if mechanically they can’t or it wouldn’t make sense. they would if they could.#also#the starstruck barry mechanic of being a guard is so gorgug. it’s soooo gorgug like that’s literally him#anyways love this tall green guy & this short green guy so much#especially because gorgug is tall & considered intimidating but protective in a deeply kind way#while riz is short & underestimated but protective in a deeply vicious way (affectionate)#i hope this makes sense but i think riz is primarily ‘i would kill for you’ & gorgug is primarily ‘i would die for you’ maybe#this does not mean gorgug would not kill for riz or riz would not die for gorgug. they both would.#but those are the primary ways their love manifests due to the nature of their strengths/personalities. To Me#idk this is all just me saying stuff when i should be sleeping 😭#sorry if i missed a riz gorgug moment in the main post btw i’m tired

Imagine a spoiled royal, heir to the throne, part of a powerful bloodline that gives them "divine right to rule". They're raised to be cruel, and told their heritage puts them above everyone else.
And then one day, it's revealed before the entire court that it's all a lie. The royal was switched at birth with the child of a servant. The real heir has been serving in the palace all this time, unaware of their birthright. Maybe they're even someone the faux-royal had been particularly cruel to all their lives.
The ruling family is quick to push out the false heir---blood is more important to them than any illusion of family---and welcome the servant with open arms.
Maybe the false heir is banished from the kingdom they were raised to rule. Maybe they're imprisoned so the truth can never come out. Maybe they're made a servant, now at the beck and call of someone they'd thought beneath them.
Does the true heir take pity on them, or do they seek vengeance from years of abuse? Does the royal family have any regrets, or have they always been cold, only concerned with holding power? What do the servants and commoners do, now that the arrogant "heir" has lost all power and protection?
#today in 'very specific whump prompts'#i just like it when a character loses everything#especially if they're super arrogant/an asshole#and then everyone who they've hurt gets to make a choice!#whump#royal whumpee#villain whump#whumper turned whumpee#whumpee turned whumper#fantasy whump#i almost want to write this but i have too many sticks in the fire#whump prompt

#Final Fantasy XIV#FFXIV#WoL x Erenville#X'vahl Tia#Erenvahl#huge chunks of dialogue my beloathed...#Lamaty'i like: Maybe I leave out the part where I thought I was going to die......... :3#This might seem like it didn't take very long for me to draft#but in truth it has been sitting in limbo just as long as the one I posted yesterday was#I just didn't want to post a rehash of MSQ with nothing to follow it for another month#so I forced myself to try to get these both out around the same time.#Anyway I suffer when I have to write this much dialogue#especially for a character I don't know as well#but it's good practice at least.#and while these are all supposed to center on Erenvahl#I wanted to get an outside perspective and Lamaty'i's is very important.#Honestly that short story couldn't have come at a better time#Anyway... there's gonna be a bit of a time skip between this and the next one probably#but just imagine that Erenville's trauma cutscene when he finds out about his mom happens between this and the next one#I'm not going to add that scene since it literally happens exactly how it happened in game#a part of me thinks I should for pacing but I'm not going to.

thinking about how in freshman year coach daybreak quite literally tried to kill kristen to bring the apocalypse (AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS) and upon being told this her own parents turned their back on kristen and said (paraphrasing), “thats not true and you cant prove that.”
thinking about junior year where kristen’s parents SAY shes always welcome to come back anytime and in an effort to keep the peace she says “thank you, thats very kind” HER OWN PARENTS!! ITS NOT KIND, ITS THE BARE MINIMUM! but mac and donna will never see it that way, because to them they didnt fail kristen, she failed them.
ALSO thinking about adaine’s parents who so obviously had no real love for adaine until she had use as elven oracle. and even then it wasnt love, it was a power grab. parents who start a war and leave without you. parents who only cared about power to the extent that they would be angered by adaine revoking aelwyns diplomatic immunity.
arianwen who truly could not understand that adaine was talking about when she called her mother cruel, and angwyn who thought he could “fix” adaine BY CASTING LIGHTNING AT HER
anyway, big long post about the parallels between these specific Bad Parents (and literal bad parents)
#ugh okay tag time#arianwen abernant#angwyn abernant#mac applebees#donna applebees#fantasy high#d20 fantasy high#fhjy spoilers#fantasy high junior year spoilers#fantasy high sophomore year#fantasy high freshman year#the evil polycule ever#IM JOKINGGG#but yeah very interesting to me that despite being so different they are also so similar#especially in their beliefs that they can ‘fix’ their children and bring their kids back to their side#and a complete disregard for their safety when it conflicts with their beliefs/views#those two tags are just tldr of my post giggles#shut up cj

We also have to talk about the uniform standards of the crownsguard. Yes black must be your PRIMARY color yes you MUST have a little skull and crossbones somewhere on your back yes you MUST wear black shoes with red soles yes you MUST have a little belt chain that you bought for 23 dollars at hot topic. Other than that? Go nuts.
#the uniforms in this game are SO funny#like I get it the characters we care about need to all have distinct designs#but also imagining this being enforced in world is so funny#I'll never be over how. Prompto clearly modified his jacket.#his UNIFORM jacket. and no one cares#as long as he's got the skull and crossbones he is good to go#especially funny to me because when you have cor in your party in the main menu he has no fidgets. he just stands at military rest.#BRO what kind of military do you think you're in??????#final fantasy#final fantasy xv#ff xv#ff 15#final fantasy 15#ffxv#ff15

The yj subreddit is a cesspool of bad takes most of the time but I just saw someone make the connection between the strawberry lube and the fact that Shauna is shown eating "strawberries" when she's eating Jackie and I'm vibrating
#again it is just wild to me how people dont see the queer narrative between shaunajackie just bc it isnt explicitly spelled out for them#and even wilder that some people truly believe those of us that DO see it are engaging in a 'fantasy'#especially when things like this exist#or like every scene involving jackie and men but esp in doomcoming where she all but admits shes sleeping with Travis bc she loves shauna#how many people in that sub are like 'i saw queer vibes in the pilot but they dropped it the rest of the season' huh???#did yall not see the dollhouse#did you not see saints#did you not see doomcoming#anyway rant aside#idk how ive never seen anyone point out the strawberry thing before#i love it#i wanna look for more jackie/strawberry parallels#yellowjackets

Something something Percy wishing he loved Nico in the same way because he can't stand the idea of hurting him, even though Nico has never needed Percy to love him in the same way or even to love him at all.
#yes nico yearns but i think he understands that it will always be a fantasy a desire and he's long since been accepting of that#compared to Percy who cares very fiercely and despises the idea of hurting or upsetting someone he cares about even in such a minor way#especially someone he sees himself as a caretaker/protector figure#you know how can he protect nico from harm when his inability to reciprocate those feelings in the same way inherently hurts him#i think nico could explain that it doesn't hurt. maybe it did before. but it doesn't now#and yes he still loves and desires him romantically but he's fine. he knows percy will never reciprocate and that fact is not painful.#but i dont think percy would get it. maybe he'd understand and accept logically what nico is saying. but internally he can't truly accept it#or maybe he just doesn't believe nico at all and thinks he's trying to make percy feel better about it.#either way percy struggles with it. it should be fine. lots of people don't reciprocate another's feelings.#but for percy it just feels like another way in which he has failed nico and that bothers him even if it doesn't bother nico#percy jackson#nico di angelo#happy talks pjo

I just started watching the Dragon Prince and I cannot get enough of how it doesn’t shy away from being the embodiment of DnD/high fantasy. Like, we have dragons, elves, nature based magic system, evil sorcerers, questing heroes, everything! It takes every heroic fantasy trope there is and creates such beautiful scenes that are so familiar yet so new and moving. I can’t get enough of it!
The animation style too really leans into that vibe as well. It feels like you’re reading a storybook and bringing it to life using your imagination. The fight scenes too are beautifully choreographed: they are so high stakes and have so much happening, yet it’s clear to track what’s going on and in that relative simplicity they craft such epic and awe-inspiring scenes.
The only thing I’m a bit apprehensive about is that it seems to be building towards a romance between Callum and Rayla. And maybe this is just my aroace-ness but it hasn’t felt like they’ve earned a romantic (sub) plot yet. That being said, I have seen some well written straight relationships in the shows I’ve been watching recently, and these writers seem to know what they’re doing, so I’m hoping that if they go though with it, it’ll actually be good.
#this show is off to a very strong start and I hope it doesn’t lose its momentum#for some reason seeing straight relationships in fiction especially fantasy just completely takes me out of the story#maybe it’s because fantasy is an inherently queer genre so it’s jarring when it’s straight#the dragon prince#dragon prince#the mystery of aaravos#tdp callum#the dragon prince callum#rayla#the dragon prince rayla#tdp rayla#fantasy#straight people

See I love Pete and Steph and they work so well together because they are the only normal people in all of Hatchetfield
#they are the only normal people in the entire town#don’t try to say Paul is normal bc Paul is so aggressively normal it wraps back around to being weird again#the dm of a dnd podcast I like said that his way of making likeable npc’s is just making them normal people in fantasy land#when everyone is so heightened and part of the story of the world if you put just a Normal Person there the audience will latch onto them#I think it’s especially shown in abstinence camp like the audience goes Yeah that would be me if I were there#it’s less obvious in npmd but the rest of the characters in it are still very heightened and parodies of their archetypes#but Pete and Steph are just actually normal grounded people#like those are the people who could out of everyone in hatchetfield actually exist as real people irl#and I love them#bc they are the only normal people in this entire town#hatchetfield#nerdy prudes must die#npmd#abstinence camp#peter spankoffski#stephanie lauter#her <3333#lautski#them <333333#the heir speaks

Begging writers to just let teen characters break up over time, like it's fine, you do not always need an epilogue where the main character is still with their first boyfriend/girlfriend after years or decades, people and especially teens can just break up without it being a whole thing because that's just how growing and changing as a person works.
#i appreciate fantasy high for letting the teen characters break up especially when it's off-screen#i do NOT appreciate the fandom's insistence on keeping all the other relationships together no matter what#like i know figayda love each other and do all these huge displays of emotion. i know.#but like. that's just how it is when you're a teenager in your first real relationship.#you're young and in love and you've never felt this way for anyone else#your lives are intertwined and you're planning your future together and you need the whole world to know how in love you are#and then you break up. because you're kids and you're changing and your lives are changing.#that's life.

ftr my firm stance is that Atem was not zork'd. but he's the same guy as Yami Yugi regardless
#just bc all the millennium items have zork in em doesn't mean they put zork in you#and atem is perfectly capable of being violent or vengeful#especially when very confused with only a random high schoolers revenge-of-the-nerds fantasies to go off of

She's doing ALL OF THIS, including MURDERING HER FRIEND, BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS UNFAIR THAT HER BACKSTORY WASNT TRAGIC?!
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!
Yes, Rage god, sure, infected towards anger, BUT FROM THE BEGINING THOUGH?!
"Yeah, so because your dad died and the whole of you life has been bad, school should reflect that by making your life harder."
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
THIS IS THE HILL YOU DECIDED TO DIE ON?!
#fantasy high junior year#fantasy high#dimension 20#I thought for certain#Thar maybe the Bad Kids accidently killed someone#like it was a civilian causualty or something#NOT THE MOST INSANE JELOUSLY IVE EVER HEARD OF#I hate the implication that Kipperlily and Riz are the same#like I see where they are coming from#the frantic work they both probably put in?#sure#the anger at being “cheated”#okay yeah ill give you that#but Riz searched for the 7 out of a noble cause#Kipperlily just seems to he CRAZY petty#this is wild#also anyone else get the vibe that Oisin and Ivybare the real leaders?#they outvoted to change the name to Rat Griders#which seems odd#maybe thats why Oisin apologized to Adaine in the cafateria when Kipperlily lost it#he was trying to keep his “puppet” on course#they both seem to be good friends with eaxh other especially
