viola and sanji ... patron saint of martyrs.

the patron saint of those who died to be like you. maybe you died to be like them too: but at the end of it, you weren't like them. patron saint of tragedy. saint of saints. it's you who holds the hands of the holy dead, and you who has to answer: what do they do if they regretted it?

iselda ... patron saint of bones.

patron saint of frameworks. of structures. of solidity. patron saint of things that break. patron saint of things that are left behind. the bones survive long after the body, the building: what is there left for them, when the rest has gone? what do bones do, with nothing to hold around them? who holds the bones?

ace .... patron saint of houses.

but not of homes. only the shells of what keeps us enclosed. houses can be decorated or well-built or crumbling or haunted but only a home can truly be warm; you are the patron saint of that lack.

a quick delthea bc i was thinking about echoes today

Hot take that was a cold take before HotD but one of the main reasons behind emphasizing Daemon as "morally grey" is so when Aegon, Aemond, and Daeron far surpass him in atrocities you can comfortably say, "Oh. These are the baddies."

Demeter: *prophesies to Apollo and Persephone* You two will get married and shall bear children with burning fire on their faces.

Apollo & Persephone:

Persephone: *to Apollo* You'll be the one birthing those kids because I ain't becoming second Izanami.

honestly cant stand how technically important demise is and yet how he doesnt actually matter or exist in peoples minds as a character, the only thing that matters is his stupid "curse" thing and its the only thing why he will ever be brought up, theres never really any thought around him that isnt related to the "cuuuurse", otherwise he basically doesnt exist in the fandom

to some extent its understandable given how little he actually is in the game but it still makes me sad and a little frustrated imo he shouldnt be treated like soemthing so unimportant given hes involved with the literal start of the timeline

and worst of all is how he and ganondorf make each other worse, like their link is completely deniable yet its like more often than not treated like gan is to demise what zelda is to hylia, but even that isnt used interestingly no, its only ever to write off gan as "well, hes just a demon, demons need no motives or character, they are jsut evil" WHICH IS SO BORING, and people will be HAPPY about that??? they go yippie gan is jsut an evil demon yaaay like the fuck???

it goes around to that other post i made about how not wanting a better written gan is wanting everything to be worse, bc a better written villain is a better written everything and there is only winning in that

demise specifically is just a sore spot for me since hes my blorbo, and the way even gan fans hate him for introducing the "cuuurse" thing just makes it hurt doubly, i get why, still its just so .. man i wish BOTH gan and demise were allowed to be characters, at least gan was a character at some point, demise has nothing ;__;

ace's smile always has a cheekiness / hint of mischief to it. he has that rascal charm even when he's being well mannered and polite. while he has that wide, brighter than the sun smile in his arsenal, the smile that is so similar to luffy's. or the troublemaker smirk that he and sabo mirrored off each other. there's something about his smile in particular that is charming in the way that you know if he asked you to get into trouble with him, you'd just have to say yes.

fighting for my life to draw anything the past like 2 months what the fuck

anyway for the kitsune au im dipping back into the very first iteration of it where sabito was more of a monster, in current iteration he was revived as a kitsune (from the rock tanjiro split) to help tip the scales in slayer's favor and hes kinda a pawn of the gods. sometimes hes not really in control of himself when he goes against powerful demons

the thing about azula is she's also a victim of abuse she bought into her father's ideology because she was rewarded for doing so (and she has some funny thoughts about divine right to rule) and explicitly gains power both in the context of her society and mentally by torturing her brother ("you can't treat me like this you can't treat me like zuko")

which is to say the show depicts azula and zuko has fundamentally different from a young age (and zuko's inherent goodness is his main source of conflict for most of the show) and i appreciate that the show doesn't go out of its way to show sympathy or explain its abusers, even when azula is given her moments, it's not to make her more sympathetic, and i think the show is aware that azula has benefited from being a natural prodigy who aligns herself with fire nation ideology, but it's clear by the end that ozai treats her as no less a tool or extension of himself than he does zuko

which is also to say her final battle between katara and zuko is my favorite part of the show hands down i find it beautiful and the music makes me tear up and when she is defeated and sobbing and completely undone, it's my favorite part of the show. azula has spent so much of her time and energy into currying favor with her abusive father, putting herself into a position of power, and to be undone by her brother who she views as inferior to her in every way and some waterbending peasant i think it must just break her worldview. everything she's done up to that moment, it was the wrong move, and zuko is now the one on top

anyway i think the show has a lot of interesting things to say about power and those who wield it, and i think azula's relationship with power, both under it and exerting it herself, is a really interesting one, and as a foil to zuko, she works really well in showing that even aligning oneself with power despite or because of circumstances is ultimately a fruitless task, and those in power will keep moving the goal posts as you try to get ahead

i'm absolutely convinced that red actually could have taken on shadow and vaati and ganon all by himself and won if he REALLY applied himself but the reason he didn't is because he just wanted to have some shits and giggles and fun times with the others

@ordinariums said: “don’t say it.” - from The Master, who very much does not want to believe that this is his daughter SHH. <3

"Don't say what?" She pauses in her words, giving him a bratty, teenage look before a mischievous smile comes to her face. Oh...he knows exactly who she is. And despite how much he may not want to hear it, Kira has been waiting centuries for this moment. He needs to be reminded. They both need to hear it.

"It's been centuries since you decided to leave home and turn to a life of power and universal conquest. How's it going? I'm surprised you even remember me right now since you didn't seem to remember taking YOUR OWN DAUGHTER with you to begin!"
