#GDI ALL THE POTENTIAL

[zhaitansvisage]

hey, so why does Anet keep killing off the cool & interesting characters?

[oneknightstand-if]

Upon further consideration of the available ROs, I feel compelled to choose Merlin despite being an inhuman trickster who lies as easily as they breathe. Not (just) because they're incredibly pretty (although that is a much appreciated bonus!) but because they're probably not the faker who's just chomping at the bit to murder us/our other allies, what with how easily they could have already done it if they were.

Yessss... join in the game of Werewolf (with potentially real werewolves) and try to figure out who's doing what for whichever reason and who's safe to actually ally/romance/platonically-bromance with!

Otherwise, I can neither confirm nor deny anything.

Body Discovery 4

Before I accidentally spoiled myself of this happening I REALLY thought it would be only one because of diverting the Danganronpa norm. I DON'T KNOW WHO IT WILL BE AND I'M SCARED.

They took advantage of the Woodshop being banned so the body would be found later than expected... gdi

THEY KILLED TSUNO AS SHE ENTERED!? WTF WTF WTF WTF

They HAVE TO HAVE BEEN KILLED THE SAME WAY

I AM PERSONALLY MURDERING OKAZAKI REGARDLESS OF THE RESULTS AND THE POTENTIAL SECOND PERSON WHO SET UP THIS FUCKERY

If ANYONE blames Wada for this I'M COMING FOR THEM TOO

256 - Double Homicide

Everyone is freaking out I AM TOO

Wada is LOSING IT AND I AM SO SAD FOR BOTH HIM AND HASEGAWA

Both of those are more like background characters... am devastated they killed off the prominent fan favourite characters, MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS

Wada's turn to tell everyone to shut up 😭

Them not being able to investigate because of fear of traps is fucked

Okazaki is quick to dismiss that it could be the same murderer, I know this is too obvious a blackened but I AM PRAYING WITH ALL MY SOUL ITS HER AND SHE GETS EXECUTED JUST AS BRUTALLY

257 - Midnight Metropolis Double Murder: Body

Poor Wada has Tsuno's blood on his face...

Big Stakes...

Mai's outburst about two people dying after Shigeki mentions that she's acting weird today...

258 - Midnight Metropolis Double Murder: Woodshop

Even though we all saw it coming I don't like how they're accusing Wada just because of the saw and the note

Wada angst LET'S GO

Hiroaki was never grateful for anything Tsuno did... I like this take from Wada's perspective even though we know it's incorrect

Hiroaki forgot what he did to Wada, DUDE- 💀

Wada has lost two people now/same with Hama, they're both like Himiko from V3 😭

259 - Midnight Metropolis Double Murder: Computer Lab

I know we have to see them have scenes but OKAZAKI GET TF OUT OF HERE

WADA going off at Okazaki YES PLEASE

Wada's voice actor POPPING OFF

I'm so relieved Wada is finally standing up for himself... I just wish he could've done it while Tsuno was alive, she'd be so proud of him

What does Wada have? Either way 'none of your business' being snapped at Okazaki after everything she's done is well deserved

Investigating in pairs after all this petty Tamba bullshit? Okazaki get tf out

DON'T BE AMUSED THAT WADA IS STANDING WHERE HIS BLOODSTAIN IS, YOU'RE FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD OKAZAKI

Have some manners!? Excuse me!? Okazaki... I don't get why people are fans of her, especially after this (I half understood in the previous chapters but this is just 💀)

Wada hit her and blood's back on his face!?

He stabbed her? Oh my god Okazaki is playing 4D chess with Wada and REALLY fucking him up I am NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS

Wada is mentally DESTROYED

I'm glad Wada is going to be talking to Hayashi but my god I PRAY she takes his side

I know stabbing someone like that is very immoral but I don't care, my hatred for Okazaki is stronger 😭

My heart can't take much more of this torture 😩

260 - Midnight Metropolis Double Murder: Art Room

Lupitol! 😂

Hama reassuring Watari while she panics is my everything ♥️

261 - Reset Position

'I got a little bit stabbed' Funny as hell but why is Okazaki being so calm 😭

MAI IS PISSED AS HELL, YES MAI, GO FOR OKAZAKI'S THROAT

Okazaki getting picked up menacingly is worth it for now

Does Okazaki have Kamimura's tongue as a momento in her coat or something? Because THAT would be fucked up

The fandom pointing out that Tamba was very adamant about not going to the Woodshop is concerning... but we all know by now who I think the killer is regardless of the facts presented before us 😅

All I'm saying is if Okazaki only killed Tsuno to fuck with Wada because she knew she could get away with it I WILL BE VERY FILLED WITH HATRED

I can't wait to watch the trial, I need as many details, answers and justice as I can get about this case

a headcanon about Steve being afraid to say I love you first?

This has potential for angst but it’s gonna be happy gdi

Everything about Eddie Munson was incredible. Steve was so in love with him, it felt like he’d waited his whole life, been through everything he has, just to get to love Eddie.

But he couldn’t say it.

He knew he should; Eddie looked at him sometimes like he desperately wanted him to. But he thought he was misreading it, and he knew if he said it and Eddie didn’t feel the same, it would drive a wedge into their relationship.

He couldn’t lose Eddie because he was too much.

By their sixth month together, he could feel Eddie getting frustrated and he could feel himself shrinking away, but he still didn’t say it.

Couldn’t put the blame on him if/when they fell apart.

But Eddie seemed to finally have enough.

“Steve? Can I ask you a question?”

“Yeah. Always.”

“Do you think it’s possible that you’ll ever love me? Or am I just holding onto hope for nothing?”

Steve couldn’t breathe. If he said no, that would be the end of it all, Eddie wouldn’t stick around. If he said yes, then sure, they’d probably be fine for a little while, but eventually, Eddie would leave.

“I know it’s possible.”

“I guess I just wanna make sure we aren’t stuck here forever. Like, me loving you and you tolerating me.”

Steve’s jaw went slack as he realized Eddie said it. He said it.

“You…love me?”

“Sweetheart, I’ve loved you since you held my hand in the hospital and wouldn’t let go until Hopper and Wayne had to drag you out to get sleep.”

“But-“

“Stevie. Do you love me?”

“Of course I love you.”

“Then that’s all I need to know.”

“You won’t leave?”

“No. I’m gonna keep loving you until you don’t want me to anymore, then I’m gonna keep loving you even more. Sound good?”

“Sounds perfect.”

Get to Know Me!

technically tagged by @gyubakeries <3 (tiya ily you're so sweet always)

what's the origin of your blog title? 💘I was originally known as underratedlovedone and wanted a brand change so i did a whole fuckass poll on google forms (pre-tumblr polls btw) and that was so fun. I believe a mutual suggested this name and im sorry but rn their name escapes me. I was almost dildodino....

favorite fandoms: 💘I ult seventeen, that's obvious, got7, and recently yall have seen i've been getting into l0ve and d3ep spac3 (its a fucking problem and I’m not ready to be found yet), but otherwise what else hmmm, I'm a pretty causal listener to most of the rest kpop/krnb. smosh is fun, i love a good laugh, i think half my humor is svt other half from them or smth like that. i get so addicted to things and move on so quicky i'm trying hard to remember rn.

OTP(s)/shipname: 💘These are ship dynamics i absolutely love. Not romantic for obvious reasons. Wonchan, Boochan, Boogyu. it's hard bc i really love group dynamics, like 2+. SVT is so perfect for that actually. and really my ships are usually whatever is my current obsession at the time

favorite color: 💘light blue but specifically, #8AA7CC. it's called polo blue for some reason idk. but this was actually very close to the blue i had for my wedding and its so pretty.

favorite game: 💘I played persona 3:overload for MONTHS, my husband would literally see my gremlin ass at the tv with my controller grinding tf in those dungeons. I'm also a sims enjoyer, l0ve and d3epspac3 again lol, gta6 when it finally fucking comes out gdi rockstar

song stuck in your head: 💘the love and deepspace intro.....its hauntingly beautiful it actually scares me a little. And "if you leave me" by svt is my comfort song rn

weirdest habit/trait? 💘uhhhhh. I pick up on people's speech patterns all the time. Its how i was able to semi-learn some languages or accents. One time i was on a work call with a client that was from Alabama and maybe bc i'm from the south but i started to actually mimic her subconsciously. to this day i hope i didnt offend her or anything. you'll also learn that i'll yap alot reading this. and 'lol' or 'like' and unhealthy amount and i hate that.

hobbies: 💘I write a lot on my own time, i just sometimes don't post it bc its often incomplete or not fully-fledged. I also read, which i need to get back into bc my tbr is long asf. I sing but not as much as i used to. I also cook. sometimes game. Kdramas, anime whatever it’s ongoing at that moment anyways. I enjoy my free time.

if you work, what's your profession? 💘bro when i was working, it was at a bank as a business analyst, sounds impressive, it wasn't. but i miss the steady income

if you could have any job you wish, what would it be? 💘 honest to god, i'd love to go back at tell my younger self to seriously try to get into acting. or film and its production/writing. It wasn't until adulthood that i realized i wanted to work in a creative environment but forgoed for 'realistic careers.' this may be your 4th, 5th, 36th life guys take a chance. there's an AU me out there there that pursued everything I wished for and I wish I was them.

something you're good at: 💘I would also love to know. but i think I'm funny sometimes and a little witty. sometimes i have to stop myself before i say some dumb shit tho, so i spit all that nonsense into my writing.

something you're bad at: 💘most things, especially pushing myself to my full potential. i know i hold myself back a lot. like i keep saying i'll write a book and publish will always have an excuse not to. not deep answer: i cant ride a bike and i refuse to. i just have no balance and i can barely stand straight ngl. and most physical games bc i am feeble i would not survive a zombie apocalypse

I'm bare face 98% of the time.

something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: 💘seventeen or in general the 2nd-3rd gen kpop lore, that was my shit. I loved those days with the exception of some things. Oh, and the plots i have going on in my head and the characters i have in mind, building them is so fun to me.

something you hate: 💘 things that don't make sense. ok, i hate on a lot of things and a lot of things don't make sense or they are just an entity they cant help it, but how people let history repeat themselves or events occur knowing fully what's going on. it's just insane. things that don't make sense, i cant help but be frustrated. Also like all of twitter/x and its existence and what it’s brought out in people

something you collect: 💘svt albums but not sm recently, stuffed animals from a couple claw machine places in my area's chinatown, my old peoples meds bc im deteriorating at an accelerated pace, things on my tbr or to watchlist

something you forget: 💘most things like errands, which is why i gotta write in my little iphone notes. where i place my phone bc i don't look where i throw and im screaming for siri in my room to find it. sometimes things i enjoy until i rediscover it one day and that's kinda the best feeling ever like "wow i remember i loved you welcome back"

what's your love language?: 💘word of affirmation and good banter, but not just straight up teasing that gets so old, i want real tension that's just like. "yeah, I thought about you. is that a problem?" OR "So you think I'm hot? "Yeah, but you're still annoying."

favorite movie/show: 💘 I dont know if i have a favorite movie i am always changing my mind about what's good out there, but my favorite show ever is this Kdrama called "Moving" It's beautiful and i loved every side story even the adults like it was so beautifully curated. i still think about it a lot and am waiting for a second season.

favorite food: 💘banh mi, korean fried chicken, and sashimiiiii omg i could just go ham on either one right about now.

favorite animal: 💘cats and dogs <3, basic ass answer but i havent felt super drawn to a specific animal. Maybe a panda bc they're such a mood. ykw a panda they are something else everytime i hear about a report of them

are you musical? 💘I've sang since i could breathe. i vividly remember my younger self getting my parents to call the viet radio so i could sing on there live (this theatric bitch). I was in choir in my teens, and i for a moment learned viola but not so much anymore.

what were you like as a child? 💘annoying no doubt, and so much more carefree than adult me. like she did not give a single fuck and people liked that about her. i miss her.

favorite subject at school? 💘debate! it got me into public speaking and interpretive performance. I really enjoyed growing a voice from learning how to not only build and refute arguments, but it got me to practice my acting chops a little like i wanted to when i was little

least favorite subject? 💘math, unfortunately i was awful and did not pay attention so i kept messing up formulas. that was my fault tho

what's your best character trait? 💘i don't like saying it but my empathy? I've been told that that's how often i respond to most situations and often give people benefit of the doubt. i just never want to assume whatever is going in someone's life bc we really have no fucking clue.

what's your worst character trait? 💘honestly too much of a people pleaser or rule follower sometimes. i let my moral compass rule over most of my decisions and that's not particularly bad but that's how i'm often holding myself back i fear

if you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? 💘 i should have not eaten that pack of buldak ramen bc that was not good for my stomach. i need a real balanced meal especially after what i was told at my doctor's apt.

if you could travel in time who would you like to meet? 💘idk if i want to change any big part of history, that is not something i could leave on my conscious if it blows up the world, but i'd like to visit my younger self that its okay to mess up and really go for things bc she can be so much more if she tried.

recommend one of your favorite fanfics (spread the love): 💘i reallu want to read more but this one is and always one my mind: between you and me by my bb @haologram. it's just so good like shut up and and put this my man in my mo-

Anyways tagging anyone that wants to play!

And I must say that what I'm looking forward to the most is when our protagonists meet the other prides. I can't wait because it's completely different from the one Hope and Adamant grew up with.

I'm glad that these prides are very different. To contrast this, for example, in Warriors there are five clans and they differ from each other only in where they live and food they eat. And the truth is they are practically the same, there is no diversity in thinking, lifestyle or beliefs.

However, your prides have these differences. I noticed that Golden Grove focuses a lot on the character of the Great King. Hope herself mentions that they don't hear much about the Traveler, and both her mother and grandmother were rather against the Traveler lifestyle and view the Traveler herself as an omen. Edge's Kingdom is one big business, him being big CEO, and he has a slightly different approach to Traveler and death in general. In Periwinkle's pride (or maybe 'garden'?) there is a lioness who is said to have a bond with Traveler. Their group is also quite... specific. The Thundering Mountains pride actually looks more like a typical kingdom there. Many lions come from different places, but they live together under the protection of one monarch. Both the current King and his young successor seem to be very noble leaders who primarily care about the good of the pride. Overall great variety.

Of course, we also have the Travelers and their lifestyle, but it is completely different from the prides, so I think Hope and Adamant realized early on that it would look completely different from the life they knew. But the meeting of other prides and the confrontation of their beliefs and systems will certainly confuse our girls. I mean they were so confused about eating alongside Storm (and what's worse it wasn't always like that in Golden Grove! Man I hate Jasper! I can't even see Edge doing that to his kids!)

To sum up, I love your world building <3 you managed to create a completely different and interesting groups in one story! I can't wait for more!

Thank you so much, anon!!

Yeah, we've tried to make pride distinct and unique on top of having their own naming themes. Like you've pointed out, the Clans within Warrior Cats had some potential but they're ultimately kinda boring and same-y. To the point where I was all gdi because I kept getting ShadowClan on unofficial 'which wc clan do you belong to' quizzes.

Fortunately, I took the official one and got SkyClan and they actually have some stuff going on with the daylight warriors (yeah, hot take: I like the concept) and so on. WindClan and RiverClan are least have some culture going on via the former's closeness to StarClan and the latter's affinity to water but the main players - ThunderClan and ShadowClan - are just very boring to me.

So yeah, completely hear you there. lol

Thus, we wanted to provide some variety with the prides and also give opportunity for those who want to make their own fan prides. Especially when it comes to ranks and titles. For example, the non-canon Kingblessed Coast pride that I'm working on is operated like a pirate ship's crew vs. a monarchy, so we have a Captain in place of a King/Queen. Honestly, sky's the limit because these prides are not unified under a weird government order. They are their own individual democracies... Or dictatorships. Whichever you wanna go by. lol

But yes, storywise: we wanted Hopeful to experience worlds with a plural and various cultures that differ so drastically from the Golden Grove. For better or for worse. We wanted our audience to ooh and ahh with her as we go on. Africa as a place is so diverse in its landscapes and environment. It's not all just desert and grasslands. There's mountains, canyons, valleys, the list goes on. My only real regret is that we won't see any coastal areas because they're beautiful af.

I'm particularly looking forward to showing more of the crystal caves of the Thundering Mountains tho. <33

Anyway, I'm rambling but thank you again, anon. We're totally excited alongside you to show more of this big wide world we have going. <33 - RJ

Having a realisation that knowing about the history of the Caribbean Golden Age of Piracy is both advantage and disadvantage when it comes to OFMD and the framing of the seasons. On one hand, knowing the potential of what's to come. On the other, gdi, knowing the potential of what's to come 😅

We're currently in late 1717/early 1718 in the show.

The end of the Republic of Pirates came when the British reclaimed Nassau in 1718 and planted a new governor in place. Massive swathes of pirates took the Act of Grace pardons to work as a kind of reserve Navy for the Crown and dodge the noose. After being hunted by his former colleagues (including Hornigold), Blackbeard died in combat in November 1718.

All those clocks ticking in the background in the show are a countdown to the end of piracy. The empire is back and it's not playing. Ricky is just the latest face of it. As Wellington said in 1x01, the empire plans to "blow them to hell" and S2 was just the start.

[chalkrevelations]

ok, wow, Dangerous Romance. WOW.

Looking at the preview for next week, dare I hope that someone has heard my mutterings about has realized how badly Bad Buddy dealt with bullying and its fallout and is actually going to do some of the cleanup and reconciliation work that BB almost completely leapfrogged over?

Hold on, I might need to sit down.

Because, listen. I love BB as much as anyone, it was probably my real gateway into Thai bl, but it's always bugged me how much that show and this writing team - the same team responsible for Dangerous Romance - allowed the execrable behavior by Pat and the Engineering Backup Hobbits to disappear down the memory hole once the romance storyline kicked into gear, and how much the show was allowed to get away with that, to the point that Wai's concern over Pat's apparently - from the outside - sudden obsessive interest in Pran was seen as intrusive and inappropriate and the rest of the Architecture Backup Hobbits were seen as trash friends for being unhappy to suddenly learn that Pran was dating someone who was responsible for repeated physical assaults on them, rather than Pran's consorting with Pat being seen - at. all. - as the friendship betrayal that it was.

Y'all. I saw someone recently making the argument that Pat was better than Kanghan because sweetheart Pat would never really punch down, and I was like, "I don't think I can even deal with this right now" and just kept scrolling. Because I've posted before about how Pat and the rest of Engineering essentially are Kanghan and Nawa and Third Backup Hobbit, what is this J's character's name that I can't remember right now, gdi? Pat and the Engineering Backup Hobbits are manifestly responsible for starting 95% of the physical altercations that we see in BB, and the other 5%, the bus stop altercation - although we know Wai was pissed about the video uploaded to the Internet, I don't remember that we're ever actually told who threw the first punch. Pat's reputation at the school - ALREADY, and how long has he even been there? - is that he's the guy who makes life miserable for Architecture students. Pat is responsible for siccing the other three on Wai in the first place, including an attempt at aggravated assault that they end up accidentally committing on Pran instead, and wanting to get humiliating video of Wai to upload to the Internet, just as Kanghan attempts to do to Sailom in DR. Pat sits back in the booth at the bar, fuming over a rebuff from Pran and lording it over Wai's humiliation - at his job - which is presented by Korn as a night's "entertainment" for Pat, in much the same way Kanghan sits on his trash-panda throne in an unused room of the school and lords it over his schoolmate subjects while Nawa and Third Backup Hobbit lock Guy in a closet and work over Auto, as well as attempting to get Sailom fired from one job and poisoning his ability to do another job.

And it's extremely subtexutally suggestive that Pat is, in fact, punching down when he goes after Wai, who's a scholarship student and, while not the only character we see working at a job, isn't working at a family business as Pa and Pran do. We learn that he needs to be able to balance his extracurriculars and his studies because he needs to keep his scholarship, and all of that is suggestive that he's not as well-off as the rest of the students, and that he can't retaliate or protect himself in any meaningful way when he's harassed on the job because he likely needs the job in the first place because he needs the money for things his scholarship doesn't pay for. If Pat and the rest of Engineering get him fired with their stunt at his workplace, he could potentially not be able to afford school, which could change the entire path of his life. So yeah, Pat punches down, along with Korn and Chang and Mo, just like Kanghan does, along with Nawa and Third Backup Hobbit, gdi, hold on ... Max, that's his name. Just because Architecture in BB generally do a better job of physically hitting back than Sailom's crew doesn't mean that Engineering aren't just as much bullies as Kanghan and his lackeys.

And I'm pretty excited to see that Sailom is going to attempt to make Kaghan not just behave about it but do some work to make reparations and build better relationships. This is why I'm always a little baffled at people who cite the pacing as why they're giving up on the show - we've gotten plenty of hints that none of the real issues are solved yet. That possessiveness that has Kanghan pulling Sailom away from everyone else by the wrist is going to come back and be an issue. The fact that Sailom basically indentured himself to Kanghan's family to pay off his own family's debt - that has the potential to come back and be an issue. No, everything's not solved yet - we're only halfway through.

[moonfirerainbow]

I am so, SO HAPPY that the Yu Yu Hakusho live action exists at all. Like, I can’t even begin to explain how happy that makes me. It’s so freaking cool to see the characters many of us love in live action, to see the world brought to life. To see Kuwabara! Kuwabara!!! The actor is SO GOOD as Kuwabara. And even though I am freaking ECSTATIC about it, I am so sad and disappointed that Netfl*x has prevented this show from being the best it could be with its corporate garbage. First off, 5 episodes??? 5? FIVE? That’s it? You give this well established, beloved, comes-packaged-with-a-dedicated-fan-base manga/anime only 5 episodes to do the impossible? I mean, come on, how can they sit there in their offices and zoom calls with their charts and graphs and calculators and literally decide that FIVE EPISODES is enough for a first season of this story? Like, what was going on in those brains? Yyh is guaranteed views just from its long history of inspiring SO MANY of the most loved mangas/animes out there. Sure, it was never gonna pull OP numbers, but gdi OP is not the norm! The charm and heart of YYH is the characters, and to destroy any potential to establish those characters by deciding on such a low episode count is ignorant, embarrassing for Netfl*x, and honestly so disrespectful to Togashi’s work. Like, I’m not trying to say that Togashi’s work deserves more effort than others, but I’m saying that the story speaks for itself and that character wise, it’s difficult to mess it up because the characters are not a mystery where we need to fill in a ton of blanks. They are well established, incredibly written and developed and idk in what world TPTB over there thought that FIVE EPISODES would be enough to not only build the world, develop one of the many plots, AND establish 4 main characters. Idk man. Like I said, I am ecstatic that it exists, but like with other things I am disappointed that these corporate idiots don’t understand that you need to spend money to make money. So, idk, give them more money to work with. And give them at the very least 12 episodes. That should be the bare minimum.

[sandglass-oc-sides]

Basics questions for Rahma!!

1) What's the reason for her Jamil beef?

2) Who would her friends outside of Kalim be?

3) gdi I gotta ask. . . . how's she feeling on Namir 😔😔😔 self centered of me lol especially since he has a scarabia student au where he's sent to the same school as his cousin

4) What is her home life like? Her household, parents, does she have any pets? Responsibilities? Is she similar to Jamil?

5) Similar to 4, how does Rahma feel about the Asims?

6) What would her hobbies be? Interests and if this extends into club stuff, sure? Shshsjc I was writing this before you reblogged so you'll receive real numbered stuff too from the memes

7) If you could have any event oriented around her, what would it be like?

I love fan events and make loads myself lol

What's the reason for her Jamil beef? - Aaa Rahma and Jamil are...complex. When I make an OC twisted from Mozenrath I'm gonna aim for a comedic/sitcom archnemesis kinda deal (two snakes sensing each other), but Rahma I feel used to get on reasonably well with Jamil pre-the mask dropping - probably not quite as close as she was with Kalim because who can't love Kalim except Jamil, but sufficed to say the betrayal bit stings to the bone. I HC for CH4 she starts acting more like Razoul from the movie - so like an asshole, basically - because of Jamil's hypnosis and whatnot, another thing she's not happy about. 😭 Part of her likely does feel a lot to blame for it though; after all, she's the one supposed to look after her friends and protect them, and he was carrying all that negative shit about it the whole time.

Who would her friends outside of Kalim be? - Not counting OCs, I think Rahma would get on with Silver! In part because they're classmates, but also because they're both sporty/fitness types and I feel they would train together, especially because they're both bodyguards to their respective lieges. For the same reason, I see Rahma being friends with Deuce and Jack to a lesser extent. She's a mentorly type of person, and given Deuce has a solid work ethic (even if it doesn't always pay off), I think she'd find him sweet. On an OC note, when I make my OC twisted from Terra, she's DEFINITELY friends with them. She likes the eager/earnest/cheerful sorts of people...definitely has a type...

gdi I gotta ask. . . . how's she feeling on Namir 😔😔😔 self centered of me lol especially since he has a scarabia student au where he's sent to the same school as his cousin - AAA I think Rahma's relationship to Namir might be similar to the dynamic between the guards and Jasmine! She's definitely had to have met him a few times given he's Kalim's cousin, and she's probably somewhat deferent/protective when he sneaks into NRC. I definitely imagine she'd be up for getting to know him better if she hasn't gotten the chance to! - You gotta gimme this AU too by the way- 👀

What is her home life like? Her household, parents, does she have any pets? Responsibilities? Is she similar to Jamil? - I've always figured Rahma came from a big family, even if obviously nowhere near as big as Kalim's (because I don't think anyone but him has a family that big, afhrbgtb), and they'd probably represent the other guards, so she probably has about 5 other siblings, with her being the eldest of them. My brain kinda gets the kick out of the idea of her parents both having been in a similar role to herself - battle couple vibes, is what I'm saying, though they're probably due retirement. Her dad started out earlier than her mother, as I HC he probably started out at the bottom of the Al-Asim servant foodchain and worked his way up. - Compared to Jamil's parents, they probably aren't as insistent on the not standing out thing, but that's more because Rahma's role is combative/defensive, so if anything I think they're more a 'make sure you protect your liege at any cost' type. Now if she ever wanted to actually be with Kalim (as I do have them noted down as a potential pairing), then they might start bringing that out more. - As for pets, Rahma's family also take care of a bunch of little white birds! Think the ones from Aladdin that Jasmine lets fly off in her intro scene. It's also a ref to her older OC self, as she used to be more of a birdkeeper!

Similar to 4, how does Rahma feel about the Asims? - Compared to Jamil, Rahma's definitely a lot more...content might not be the right word, but at least less angry/upset with her lot, but then again, hers doesn't really require her to hold back the way he always has to. As such, she's probably got at least a reasonably positive view of them, especially as I have in my notes that she and her parents were originally dirt poor before they started working for them, so that gratitude probably blinds them which then trickles down. I don't think that starts to change until after Chapter 4, as it kinda makes her have to confront it, as in the end she's still a servant and ultimately if she were in Jamil's spot or if it was required, similar shit would probably be pulled.

What would her hobbies be? Interests and if this extends into club stuff, sure? Shshsjc I was writing this before you reblogged so you'll receive real numbered stuff too from the memes - FITNESS. Rahma is two things; very sweet and gentle outwith combat, and nuts inside of it. She can be feral, and she likes testing herself. She probably enjoys stuff like fencing and boxing, and other stuff that helps keep her in shape. She's had to do it most of her life due to her bodyguard role, so she's learned to enjoy it to the fullest! For that reason, she's in the track and field club with Jack and Deuce, but she enjoys other sports like Magical Shift and Basketball as well. She's a sporty lady! - Dancing! Technically counts under fitness too I suppose, but she likes the more elegant side of it. - Flower-arranging's another thing I think she likes, she does it to wind down at night or after a combat session.

If you could have any event oriented around her, what would it be like? I...HAVE NOT THOUGHT ABOUT THIS, AFHRBG. But I think any kind of festival, or even an event with inspiration from one of the Aladdin movies or series could work? Somewhere to let her feralness in combat/magic shine for sure.

how do you feel abt the new chapter? 💚

I am feeling. Ways.

I have little commentary on the Fyodor thing right now because I had kind of already accepted that he was going to be old and potentially immortal like people on here (*cough* Nawy) had been theorizing but man. That's interesting. Ok. Ok.

I do hope the way he comes back is genuinely somewhat horrifying though and not some kind of just "oh, he's back! but how is this possible???" I'm still rooting for a Sigma unwilling corruption arc, though I'm feeling it less likely since now we know he collapsed due to the memory intake.

The Fukuzawa and Fukuchi scene was made so much worse better by having Aya be the one to find them. Fukuzawa's expressions were so. Ow. So were Teruko's. I hope she continues to make an appearance. I want to know more about her still.

I am questioning why Dazai wasn't in the ADA group shot. Does Fukuzawa not consider him part of the group? Or does he not consider Dazai part of his responsibility? Or has he just given up on him because he's in jail and Dazai's just going to turn up on their doorstep after all this like a ragged wet dog he didn't ask for and Fukuzawa's gonna be like "oh gdi I forgot about him"???

Though honestly aside from this, I don't have many thoughts or anything. I'm still eagerly waiting for the new arc to start so I can start theorizing and analyzing again. :D

In summation. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Favorite female characters

(tagged by @flamemittens, @lamortwrites, @yesistolethisurl - thank you all!)

rules: make a poll of your favorite female characters (no limits - as many or as little as you want) and see which your followers like the most!

*look. Was Tasha Yar badly written? Yes. But I don't caaare she had so much potential gdi. The writers did her SO dirty.

**I played female Morgan on my first playthrough so she's a woman to meee. There's all of 1 line of dialogue that differs between the male and female Morgan playthroughs so idk if anyone else counts her as a female character but whatever. I love her.

Tagging @kaava, @plethomacademia, @iron-bullogna, @threeofswrds, @smallnico, and you! (sorry for any repeat tags)

I introduce you to my new Rook, Renata Ingellvar (age 51)! A fellow Watcher, mage, and professor of the necromantic arts who willingly took a well-earned sabbatical to travel the world of Thedas after the events of the War of the Banners, knowing all too well of the audacity of Nevarran nobles. She was much loved amongst the younger students and Watchers (and Vorgoth, but don't let them hear you say that) and was known for her... unique teaching styles that went beyond the classroom, aggravating many of her peers... except for Emmrich, of course. I imagine that they met and collaborated quite a few times over their years of teaching.

Rook was more than willing to reunite with a fellow colleague when the time arose for a Fade expert in the fight against Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain.

(I wish Veilguard let me add highlights to show grey hairs gdi- T_T)

OH MY GOSH, Renata is absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍

Her being a MW!Rook combined with the fact that she’s also his age and a peer? Her being another PROFESSOR?

Oh, the romantic potential with this set-up is so tasty! I bet these two could talk for hours about their studies! Especially him admiring her teaching techniques and expressing joy that there are others in academia who enjoy what they do and are so passionate.

The game’s dialogue really implies an age difference, but with the blessing of Emmrich’s writer Sylvia to disregard it as anything ‘canon’, I love seeing some 40s, 50s, 60+ Rooks and their romances. 👏

I can only imagine that must have been a lovely reunion for them, especially after the War of the Banners!

I knooow. I wish we had gray hair highlight options so much. It would be such a good addition, and helpful for making those older Rooks!

cris watches dr. who: s02e08 - "The Impossible Planet"

"I had that job once, I was a dinner lady. Not that I'm calling you a lady. Although I don't know, you might be... Do they pay you?"

Rose sees the “Welcome to hell"-graffiti and just has to laugh. She has grown so supremely unbothered with this kind of nonsense, it's hilarious

Blackspeak!

Squiddies!

I like that the Ood look terrifying, but are actually kind of sweet

Shakycammm

Danny from Ethics is kinda hot

I love how Rose is immediately triggered by people potentially being slaves, addresses the servants respectfully and instantly tries to unionize them. Good for her

I would love being a chief dramatist

This must be why the last episode was so lame: this one got all the budget. I love the Alien-esque set design of the space station, the claustrophobic hallways and the sucking black hole

TARDES are plants?! I could grow one? Hold on, I suddenly have a great idea for some merchandise...

Any one of you a talented synthetic bioflorist?

gdi, sexy Danny from Ethics is kind of a bigot

SPACE HORROR! Gotta be one of my favourite genres. I really like this episode, it's so much less predictable than the last one

Thomas Babington Macaulay poetry! Neat!

Trap doors? That's not a trap door. That's a seal. Usually used to seal things away. Do not open that thing!

waitwaitwait ABBADON? The literal Beast? We're dealing with THE FUCKING DEVIL?

7 out of 8 TARDES. I can't wait for the next episode, let's gOoOo!

DEADASS old man shang tsung should be loved more

Like mk legends shang tsung specifically is absolutely delicious.

(Minus some things like not really showing his treachery to shao kahn. Like it's playing a bit too safe in the cunning department. And honestly makes it look like he's a sinp for shao kahn when he fucking wasn't and hated his guts and would happily stab shao in the back 1000 times over if you ask him and given him the opportunity to. And not to mention it's so convenient around plot. And i hate that. Because honestly holy shit this shang had potential. He had the presence,the aura,but never really shown to fight. And it sucks. Because shang is supposed to be a beast in kombat. He was a fucking boss after all. Like gdi nrs. Why you gotta fumble this guy so hard?! Like the writing is right there!)

Anyways. Old man shang. Let's get back to that.

The reason why i feel old man shang or at least how shang tsung IS SUPPOSED TO BE.

This mofo is cursed. To age. Less he takes the lifeforce/souls of others Because he decided to say "fuck you elder gods! Imma take your ritual healing dark magics and apply it to kombat. Imma take this shit and make it my own!" DEADASS a Dracula energy/soul vampire. Like this man despite everything,still could whoop your ass because he is fucking 500yrs old! From old dynasty china. In earthrealm. Yeah.

This man used to be a warrior from earthrealm,got into beef with raiden,and said fuck you im switching sides as soon as he caught whiff of an opportunity to(at least in his mind at the time) be treated "better" (which he really wasn't as better off,maybe even worse,but he had some power and some better standing tho at a cost)

Like you could take shang tsung in many ways. But all in all he doesn't need to be twirly mustache to be evil. Nor does he need to be good or "SOME GODS PLAYTHING!" to be righteous or do honorable things.

Legitimately mofo shang tsung as an old man should be written as a person who comes off as uncannily and eerily calm,a air of danger but you can't really run away nor want to. You're too damn curious even tho you're screaming inside to run. He needs that true fucking snake vibe.

Very few people have written and portrayed this successfully. And tagawa pioneered that well vibe for villains imho. (Tho the man was unfortunately typecasted by Hollywood this man by god set the bar high. He did it so damn well. He put his whole heart into this. And honestly out of all his roles,this was the most notorious of his roles. Tho i hope this man gets more leisure roles and happier roles in the future. And eventually has a safe,and peaceful retirement. He deserves it. Fr. Thank you Mr. Tagawa seriously. <3 )

Artt butler did a fantastic job with shang tsung,tho given a better script it would be better.

Same with alan lee. I feel his would have made me like it more if fans and story weren't shit.

But all in all shang tsung being rejuvenated and young is nice. And should be shown especially since he is cursed. But his default,unpopular opinion here but. His old man form should be his default look. If not old man old man,then a but of salt n pepper at bare minimum.

Honestly,shang i prefer at his old man look because thats what i well grew up on. And that's kinda how i see him. 🤷‍♀️ *shrug*

Like guy is a flashier more fancy pai mei from Tarantino's kill bill to me. Maybe slightly bit more nicer and considerate but not by much. Lol.

I could go on and on about old man shang tsung specifically. But I'll leave this at.

Honestly we just need to bring him back. We need to bring back shang tsung with that vibe. We need to not make him conveniently made for plot. No give me the shang tsung that i fucking knew.

That bastard needs to make a comeback. And mk11 can't be the only game that he does it in.

And mk legends can't be the only media outside the games that does it either.

Anyways,old man shang. I love this foxy grandpa.

Some Pokemon AZ thoughts, Diantha positive: I'm "fine" with Diantha not being the champ (no i'm not bring her back gdi she's perfect) but I know in my heart if they replace her champ spot with a dude the fanbase is going to be so misogynistic and terrible in comparisons between the two I will spontaneously combust and take them with me

to be quite frank i would be very fine if she did not return as a champion!! (i just want her to return in some way or another idc how sdlkfjsd) i think it would be interesting/cool if she did, as in, she was able to hold onto the title of champion for so long (that would certainly have some interesting implications that could be fun to explore depending on context) but also i think it would be potentially just as interesting to explore if she wasn't champion any longer, as in, what path her career has gone down since she stepped down as champion, what else she might have ended up doing with her life, etc

worst care scenario tho, she has a son who is a Handsome Young Man who is champion or some such and basically kind of replaces her character in some ways. literally im just waiting for something like this bc it feels so inevitable.

(literally idk what could be worse than that. diantha having a son. a son who is conventionally attractive and fandom bait. fandom bait in that he has all of his mother's characteristics that are interesting except hes a man and so therefore people love him and praise him for everything diantha should have been praised for. diantha is effectively forgotten about, moreso than she already is. people begin to write scenarios in which he and volo are destined lovers who find their way to each other across space and time. its all very dramatic and shoehorned Arent They So Perfect For Each Other And So Sad And Angsty But Also We Will Move Mountains To Ensure These Two Boys Can Fuck Each Other just fucking shoot in me in the head right fucking now die die die die die)
