#I dont even like otto

[zeivira]

How do you think Emilia and the others would react to the concept of dreaming in No Rest for the Wicked?

“If I’m honest— sleeping isn’t even that bad,” Subaru starts, rubbing his eyes. He woke up an hour ago, but he still feels pretty sleepy— and how could he not, when Otto decided that the first thing he needed to do in the morning was discuss taxes with him? “You get to dream every night, which is pretty cool if you ask me.”

Subaru lets himself sink deeper into Emilia’s office couch. He loves it when she lets him watch her work.

He doesn’t usually like talking about sleeping much, not after all the trouble it already gave him— but today he dreamed he had momentarily traveled back in time to when he was eight years old, and was able to hug his parents one more time. Waking up hadn’t left him fatigued, on the contrary, it left him much better rested than usual. At least until Otto decided to be a pest, of course.

“Dreams?” Emilia raises her gaze from the papers in her desk and tilts her head to the side. “What are dreams?”

“Dreams are, uh…” He blinks. How could one describe dreaming? “It’s like traveling to another world—” no, that doesn't sound right, “—except the world doesn’t really exist ‘cus it’s merely a product of your imagination.” He crosses his arms. Did that even make sense? “Do you not do something like that when you are unconscious?”

People from Lugunica can still faint from blood-loss or other wounds. They surely had to dream then, right?

“You travel to another world when you sleep?”

Ok, maybe that was too much. Subaru blushes at the wonder marrying her voice. “Well, not literally. They are just a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep.”

“Natsuki-san, are you implying that when you sleep you… hallucinate?” The reason for his current nightmares —Otto— opens the door of Emilia’s office with a sack of papers in his hands and turns to stare at him.

Subaru pauses and rubs his chin, deep in thought. Can dreams be considered hallucinations?

“Hallucinations?” Emilia repeats, voice distant.

Otto sighs. “Indeed, when people are in agony, they sometimes see things that aren't there."

Subaru starts laughing, then stops when he realizes what Otto actually meant. “Wait— what?” Oh cmon, this can’t happen again.  “I already said I'm not in pain when I sleep.”

“You say many things,” Otto glares. “But Lady Beatrice said you often squirm or wake up crying.”

Emilia gasps.

“You know that?!” Subaru stands up, then raises his hand to hold his head at the whiplash from changing positions so quickly. His own words finally sink in as his eyes widen. “I mean— I absolutely do not do that.”

Otto squints at him. He hadn’t missed his slight headache. “You should have told the healer about the hallucinations when he visited last week, Natuki-san.”

“They aren’t hallucinations.” Subaru blinks.

“Your description sure matched them. What is the difference between hallucinations and dreams, then?”

Emilia interrupts. “Are dreams another symptom of Subaru’s Partial Sleeping Beauty, then? Should we make sure he doesn’t dream?”

Otto shakes his head. “The only way to make him stop dreaming would be to make him stop sleeping, and the doctor said we shouldn't.”

“But that’s…”

“Time out!” Subaru raises his arms, crosses them and forms a stop sign. “The squirming is completely unrelated to the dreaming. I like dreaming, It’s relaxing.” Unless he is having a nightmare, he knows better than to address that topic.

Emilia’s purple eyes fill with tears. “Is your condition so bad that you prefer spending so many hours in a fake world rather than real life?”

What the fuck.

“No, absolutely not! I love real life is just—” Subaru groans.

He should have learnt to shut up by now.

(Some hours later:

“I wonder if Heinkel-san’s wife dreams,” Emilia says during dinner, after calming down. “If she has to sleep for so many years, it would be nice if she were to hallucinate that she is in a world in which her family is safe and sound.”)

the fact that both helaena and aegon immediately refused to have their son's body pulled through crowded streets and yet it still happened anyway because everyone around them is more focused on exploiting this tragedy than comforting the people involved is breaking my heart a little. like i despise aegon, but his own mother walked away from him crying his eyes out in grief and disrespected his wishes for his dead child. and don't even get me started on everyone neglecting helaena and alicent worried about saving her own skin instead of trying to comfort her daughter and listen to her as she grieves.

I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.

ASSIGNING EACH DANGER DAYS SONG AN ODD SQUAD CHARACTER CAUSE I GOTTA

Na Na Na- Oprah (:

Bulletproof Heart- OTTOOOO!!!!

SING- Olympia. You just need to trust me on this. I know it doesn't match her energy, but it's so perfect for her. She IS sing it from the heart, sing it 'til you're nuts, sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts.

Planetary (GO!)- ORLA ORLA ORLA. ORLA ALL THE WAY. She's unbelievable, she's undefeatable, she will ruin everything and blast it to the back row.

The Only Hope for Me Is You- Oscar. I just feel it. In my. Joints. Or smth.

Party Poison- Based on the name alone you know this one's going to Todd. "If we were like you in the end, well we'd be killing ourselves by sleeping in" Todd. It's Todd. "We came to party, kill the party tonight" thank you Todd. We know. It works for him as Gardener Todd too, just a bit differently.

Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back- Oona. No explanation needed, just like Oprah's and Otto's.

S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W- Olive. It's gotta be Olive. I can't explain why. It's the most meaningful song in the album, and it goes to her.

Summertime- Otis. It's the platonic love song ever, and it's how he feels about Olympia. He doesn't need his headphones because Olympia stops the noise. <3

DESTROYA- Orin. I will Fight anyone who disagrees with me on this. It is slower and Loud, and he's angry like the 11th doctor and an asshole, this song is for HIM. [This is the song I named my larp camp sword after, btw.]

The Kids from Yesterday- Opal. The way she leaves when her journey doesn't feel like it should be over reminds me of how this song is about the singer and the killjoys knowing they're going to die but still doing what they know is right. And the part where the music stops and then gets picked up again but a little different, and you can hear an echo of the singer's voice- it's like how after she leaves Osmerelda carries on her spot.

watching people in the fandom fight is kind of funny because one, both teams were absolutely massacred and two, the throne should be torn down but everyone forgets

[darealsaltysam]

my thoughts on this finale are so mixed but. skidmark & alicia comeback, victor fully redeemed and happy with his family AND gets to go on knowing that madison is alive, sherry & dwight survived and back together, daniel survived... yeah it could have been worse

[ana-bananya]

The amount of dbd lore I have to catch up on is insane 😭

[arolesbianism]

Upon further examination, I am leaning more and more into Otto being a nonbinary egg opposed to a nonbinary person who uses he/him pronouns. Thanks for the help Mi-ma <3

scarlet nexus character in a psychonauts au:

almost everyone is happier, probably. its like messy but things get better. i think.

psychonauts characters in a scarlet nexus au:

its effed UP! everything SUCKS! its MISERABLE! Otto Mentallis is the only one happy

portal between worlds: the differences in the ways the 2 different worlds work, is confusing to everyone. possibility's for interesting character interactions.

Otto Mentallis is exited for all the new possibilitys it opens up

combination of settings:

im not sure how this would work but Otto Mentallis is most likely the only one happy

this weirdly turned into a otto post
