#I miss my blorbos captain

[w1ng3dw01f]

my fellow Whovians and Torchwood enthusiasts

In all the years that I have been in this fandom (which is a lot, like I’ve rewatched Torchwood and different DW arcs consistently for at least a decade)…

WAS NO ONE GOING TO TELL ME THAT IANTO HAS A FUCKING SHRINE????

OR WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIND THAT OUT MYSELF?!?!?

Like damn I was tryna have a good treat-myself day trip to Cardiff and all of a sudden I spot this?!

All of the pain just came flooding back into my soul.

[lovelytonys]

watching iron man armored adventures is actually awakening the demon of my 11 year old self. she’s crawling out of the depths of hell up to the surface of my skin so that she can watch this show. I can feel her possessing me

[lynxfrost13]

Praps if I’m good I’ll post not only about Frau Wasserlinse!! But also the very prestigious and totally not falling apart Vinetan Defense Freighter crew and additional operations

[marvelousazula]

being skeptical means I'm ready to be watching my comfort movies for the next three weeks.

LU Update! So welcome back to the analysis corner with me!

We have another LU update! Called Moving forward we see the heroes leave the town and make their way to the location that Sky found. With learning a little more about the team as a whole.

With 10 pages there's a lot of information to work through so I hope you are sitting comfortably

As always Linked universe (LU) belongs to @linkeduniverse and Jojo, I own none of the pictures I'm using and please give the original post some love. It's very well done and I love this comic so much.

You can find the comic here!

And as always there are spoilers abound for the most recent update!

Now sit back, grab some water and snacks and let's do this!

So before we get started im just gonna say that the brain cell is pinging around this lot so much that I'm bound to miss some stuff. But I shall try my best to get everything I wanna say said.

It was only some of you, captain, dont forget that.

(Oblatory look at my blorbo picture, he's so sweet. Blorbo blorbo blorbo)

Okay I'll behave this time

(No i won't)

I can understand the concern from the captain, as a captain from the army during a time of war secrets are dangerous. He's probably thinking if Twilight has concealed this what else has he concealed.

And then we get snarky wars again

I missed the snarky captain, he's wonderful.

Also the line about double duty, Come on captain, you know full well that patrol is an important part of a group dynamic like this.

This also confirms that the group have had encounters with monsters outside of what we've seen. As the line from wars about missing fights implies that they've fought a bunch of stuff. But we've only really seen wolfie in a fight back in the sunset arc.

Twilight fondly mentioning Midna, I'm so proud of him.

These two are the goddamn brothers ever and I love them dearly. Also, the knowledge we are about to be given about how this works is very exciting.

The brothers ever

All of them

Twilight thinking Wild had more than two brain cells. I love him. And the hug? The hug gives me life.

Also the captain, the captain is a point to talk about here. This feels like an accusatory sentence. The "You dont say?"

Me trying to figure out how time travel works in LU.

Legend, why are you so grumpy about this? Like he looks angry to hear this.

Four thinking about the implications of this sentence. I can literally hear the brain cell bouncing as it pings from hero to hero as they try to figure out this time travel thing.

Wind is a small bean as well look at him. The youngest I love the eyes.

Ahh, so thats the explanation. A spirit wolf that helped guide him on his journey which he trusted so much that he thought that the wolf he saw here was just another spirit until twi changed in front of him.

But this line from him is so sad. "Right after my resurrection" and "we both would have known the grave." This feels like as a person wild is at peace with it but doesn't want others to have to go through what he did. He's a chill dude and i love him for that to be honest.

Meanwhile, my blorbo Sky is out here trying to get actual work done. This is 10/10 the sksw dousing experience if you've not played it. You just swing the sword around while it pings at you until you eventually find what you are looking for.

Fi is trying her best.

Lads all of you need to remember that not all of you have had things that perform transformation magic. Im surprised (But also not surprised) That Time doesn't have anything to say about this. Like my man has used a tone of different transformation masks that change him into various different things and has one that turns him into a god.

The magic users ganging up on the non-magic users, like please behave.

Ahh Time, Time is the disappointed old man that has to coral a bunch of kids. And Wild is like the most kid of them all. (Tell me why I'd love to know! :D) (Which makes sense if we take LU to be at most a few months after the end of his game. Wild would be 18 at most.)

the sort of conversation you dont want to involve yourself in Time trust me on this one.

JUST SOME GUY WILD JUST DESTROYED TWILIGHT OKAY RIP

Feels bad for twi man he earned that title and to have it reduced to just some guy.

Wild is gonna get told off by Time if he ain't careful, that's his blood descendant right there and we all know he has a soft spot for him.

This is important, because I'm pretty sure most of them did at one point.

Another thing that appears to be a constant amongst the team is the need to conceal an identity. Either from them or them to others.

I'm not versed in all of their games so I can't go into full details but these guys ain't the only ones. Pretty much all of them have. The spirit of courage does love secrets, doesn't it?

Thats my blorbo and he's so sad help he

Blorbo blorbo blorbo

Give him a hug and reboot Fi and it'll be fine.

To echo the words of Time.

Curious.

Now this depends on what exactly Sky was dousing, was he dousing the portal, the helmet outside the portal? The postman even?

My money is on the helmet outside the portal, so that Dink came back into this timeline to retrieve it before leaving. But I may be incorrect on that account because Fi is able to track people as well as objects (Sksw would often have you tracking Zelda directly)

OHHHH

I was wondering how they were going to do it. But with Twilight able to track it they'll be able to use a combination of dousing and him sniffing out Dink's scent to be able to find him no matter where he might be.

It's so distinct, twilight you know by saying that you're gonna have some of these guys asking questions. Just wait for the next campfire story time it's gonna come up.

I can see Wind and Twilight having a conversation like this.

"What does Dink smell like?" "What?" "You heard me."

Oh he's so excited look at him!

Oh four.

I wonder if we are gonna have a four and Twilight conversation about this, with four's past he's understandably worried about the use of dark magic in one of his friends.

Oh come on legend lighten up, the child has never seen something like this before.

I'm glad Hyrule is coming in for his defence and all but 5 minutes ago Hyrule you were with Legend and saying to Wild that there's a load of items that do it.

Why is wind just so wonderful?

Look at him go!

Thats gotta be Wind, He's been so excited about this I can't see it being anyone else.

Bark Bark!

Wolfie beloved.

Im here for more brotherly content from the team, they are wonderful.

Now lets go find us a Lizard, or iron knuckle or whatever he transforms into next.

And thats all from me! I loved this update and there was so much to unpack I know I've missed stuff! But I hope you enjoyed it! :)

(Also apologies for spelling mistakes I'm sick rn but wanted to get this done)

Have a great day!

[boo-trekking]

Star Trek brain rot is so real, I missed Captain Kirk’s birthday and I feel a little bad. That’s my blorbo and I failed to celebrate him, woe!

60 Sec Rec: The Expanse

Hundreds of years in the future, humans have colonized the solar system and Mars has become an independent military power. A missing person links an asteroid belt detective, the captain of an ice freighter and a diplomat trying to avert a war. [Rotten Tomatoes & Netflix]

Detective Miller is in a futuristic-noir, a cop tasked with finding wayward heiress turned political activist Julie Mao.

James Holden and crew are in an action/adventure in space, the everyday guys who go from the frying pan to the fire.

Chrisjen Avasarala, UN Security Council member, is in a political thriller, trying to avoid a war and figure out who she can trust in the government.

A bit of Blade Runner/Total Recall, a bit of Alien, a bit of Battlestar Galactica, as the show progresses these storylines intersect and the genres mix. Characters don't become found family but a forged one; forged in near death experiences, impossible choices, secrets kept and shared, and even some romances (not all requited).

This show can fit SO MANY BLORBOS. Also polyamory! one of the leads has 8 parents, and a recurring character, who is the love of my life, is in a poly relationship later in the show. The actors are fantastic (Tipper has an episode in one of the later seasons that's a tour de force. She's tremendous), and the set design and costumes are gorgeous.

The ship names (I mean actual ships here) are so cool too: Rocinante, Guy Molinari, Scipio Africanus... a nice bit of trivia.

It is so, so, so GOOD. You have to give it some time at the start because you might need a while to 'get settled' in this universe, but don't worry because it's a rich story but not a dense one. It's also not grimdark; bad things do happen, and there are losses and casualties, but it's not a cruel show. It won't laugh at you for caring.

Developed by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (Children of Men, Iron Man) based on the book series by James S. A. Corey (pseudonym for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck). Written by the novelists and mostly new writers. Directed by Breck Eisner (Fear Itself), Jeff Woolnough (Vikings), Terry McDonough (Better Call Saul)... Starring Thomas Jane, Steven Strait, Cas Anvar, Dominique Tipper, Wes Chatham, Florence Faivre, Shawn Doyle, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Frankie Adams, Cara Gee, Keon Alexander, Jasai Chase Owens, Nadine Nicole, David Strathairn, Jared Harris...

WIP Wednesday

Hello everyone, it is another Wednesday (my dudes)! Thanks to the lovely @umbracirrus and @hircines-hunter for tagging me <3

Tagging: @theoneandonlysemla @dirty-bosmer @lucien-lachance @thequeenofthewinter @firefly-factory @pocket-vvardvark

@captain-of-silvenar @changelingsandothernonsense @lady-iizsil @bougainvillea-and-saltwater

This is going to be a long af post because I ran a poll trying to decide what to post, but I'm just gonna give y'all a bit of each because *gestures vaguely to the world* at least we have blorbos <3 First up is another bit from the family fic, then some smut under the cut from another wip that i will have done soon or i will end up on the news MDNI: PICK YOUR POISON BESTIES

“Happy to be free of the misery and dread of Winterhold?” He earns a playful punch before Ceri joins her boyfriend on a sofa.  

“You sound too much like Ata.”

“You say that now.” He reaches for something in his armour, a folded paper. “I’ve accepted an offer from a man in Skyrim, wants help going through some Nord tomb.” Walking over to his sister, he shows her the letter, distinctly pointing to the bottom. 

“May Talos guide you.” She laughs. “Oh, what would Ata say?”

“What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him, and besides, I do not get paid to care about religion. He could be Tiber Septim reborn for all I care. Might even be good actually, could charge him more.” 

“Well then, may Talos guide you Arthano. To Sovengarde!” He rapidly ruffles the top of her hair. 

“Shut up.” He laughs. 

It is a funny moment between them but Ralos can’t help but feel like he is missing something. He knew the worship of Talos had been a major point of contention between Altmer and Nords; particularly when the Thalmor were in operation. It seems their father would be especially concerned, no, upset, to learn of who his son was working for. But the way neither Arthano nor Ceri seemed to find it anything more than funny puzzled him. It can’t just be his Altmer beliefs…

The kisses are slow for a bit, enjoying the feeling of each other. Eventually, Ondolemar’s lips find their way to her neck. The marks he leaves will no doubt be difficult to cover tomorrow, but that is the furthest thing from her mind as she grinds her hips into his. 

“I’m going to miss you.” She hums. 

“And what will you miss most?” Hands move down to her thighs, creeping their way underneath her nightgown. 

“Unfortunately, you have me in a compromising position, my love. I cannot answer fairly at the moment.” Her own hands remove themselves and glide down his bare chest. 

“Then don’t.” She pulls the nightgown overhead, tossing it across the bedroom. There’s no time for him to react before she is sliding down, knees resting on the hardwood as she looks up at him. Even in the low candlelight, she can see his expression has changed; a deeper hunger written on his face. Head resting on one thigh while her hand makes its way up the other, tracing the outline of his erection through the thin pants. 

“Well. now I certainly cannot.” He groans as she removes his cock, stroking the flesh itself now. 

“I’m still waiting for an answer, love.”  

“Oh course you are. You want to hear all about how I’m going to miss you like this. How much I enjoy seeing you on your knees for me.” His left hand runs through her hair, smoothing through it as her strokes quicken. “I’ll even miss how you torture me, memories of you like this flashing through my mind at the most inconvenient times. So much has changed except for your ability to distract me from work.”

That Tweet, take 2

OK, so my first reaction to That Tweet, by Djenks, was as follows:

My money is on DJenks realizing that he shat the bed & now furiously trying to write himself out of the corner he's in. (My second guess is that he basically already knows there won't be a Season 3, but there's some network or business-related reason for not announcing it yet.)

But now that I've had a bit more time to think about it, I am kind of seeing a scenario where he could've intended it to be a fuckery all along.

Step one is that we imagine him being a bit disappointed by how Lucius's death fooled absolutely no-one. It's likely that he was planning for the reveal that he was alive to be a much bigger moment than it actually was; maybe he even has some Big Reveal ideas that he had to put on ice once it became clear that there was very little actual suspense surrounding Lucius's fate. This is, obviously, since I don't know him personally, a big hairy guess, but it seems like a very plausible reaction for someone to have, when they put a lot of effort into planning a surprise and it falls flat because everyone guessed it.

Step two is him deciding to sell Izzy's "death" a little harder, with the emotional death scene and the funeral (where we do not actually see the body, and a mourner, Wee John, is missing) and all. It's laying it on a little thick, in my opinion, but again, we did all confidently (and correctly) assume that Lucius was alive based on the evidence that "this show wouldn't do that" and "The Stede-Ed reunion won't work if he's really dead," so you can see how a showrunner could, hypothetically, get to--

Step three, is Djenks opening up his socials at the crack of dawn on Thursday morning, expecting to see reams of speculation and analysis about how Izzy could have survived, and being genuinely shocked to instead find seas of angry and devastated fans suggesting that he should perhaps give up television in favor of a career in going and fucking himself.

Step four, realizing that he drastically overshot the mark re: creating genuine suspense over character death, he tweets out a big obvious hint.

I don't love this interpretation--for one thing, there is nothing in the episode we saw that would provide a plausible in-universe reason for faking Izzy's death. It would be pretty easy to create one--have Prince Ricky No-Nose vow personal vengeance against Izzy Hands in specific for calling him a syphilitic cunt/his role in foiling the "end of piracy" scheme--but we did not see anything like that. To make the funeral scene work as a fuckery, it would be necessary to insert a flashback between the "death" and the funeral in which A) this happens, and B) the other characters find out about it. That's a cheap trick that I personally hate--the old, "Haha, I made you feel a thing by deliberately withholding context"--but again, if it's an overcorrection for the complete and abject failure of the effort to create suspense around Lucius's fate, I guess I can live with it.

If Izzy's death is a fuckery, that addresses a lot of the other problems with the finale. First, Ed and Stede's obviously-doomed, harebrained scheme to give up piracy and be innkeepers (in a dilapidated shack, on an island where we see no other people or settlements) is plausibly funny, as long as we aren't thinking that Izzy died for it.

Second, the tonal whiplash of going from the funeral to the wedding is also fine if everyone involved knows perfect well that the guest of honor at the funeral is actually recuperating just offscreen.

(Thirdly, there's Captain Frenchie--I haven't seen much discussion of that, but the only problem I had with it is that I can't think of any moments from the season where he stood out as being a leader for the crew. I might've missed something; he's not one of my particular blorbos, but it wouldn't have taken much, just something you can look back on and see how it was setting up him becoming captain.

And, crucially, we do have those few little moments of setup for Frenchie as First Mate to Captain Izzy. Frenchie was there during the dark days, during which he presumably underwent some skill development, pirate-wise, and definitely bonded with Izzy to some extent. We see him holding Izzy's hand during his breakdown, and he presumably helped hide him and definitely lied to Blackbeard about it, and then how they were sitting in the cell on Zheng's ship--it isn't a whole lot, but you can look back and see why it makes sense for Izzy to pick him.)

Making Izzy's death a fuckery doesn't do anything to fix the way the whole Zheng thing fell flat. (Why give her a massive fleet in the first place, only to take it away? Why did we get those scenes of ships being towed across land? What was she doing selling soup on the Republic of Pirates? For that matter, why did she come to the Caribbean in the first place, after becoming Pirate Queen of the Chinese seas?) It doesn't help with how Ed and Stede keep repeating the same beats of getting closer, then running away, then reuniting without ever talking about their relationship or their issues. It doesn't address why the Kraken Era had to go that dark, if the whole thing was just going to be smoothed over in the space between episodes 4 and 5, and how Ed never really takes responsibility for any of what he did.

However, middle installments of trilogies are notoriously difficult to write, and it isn't particularly fair to judge them before you get to the last part. Most of the weak points could look better in hindsight once we know how it all turns out.

(And, not for nothing, as long as Izzy is alive, we can still get something where Ed reckons with the Kraken Era, and particularly-but-not-exclusively what he did to Izzy. I don't see how that works with a dead Izzy, though--it's too easy for Ed to keep minimizing what he did and offloading blame onto him.)

There isn't a whole lot of evidence for an Izzy Lives scenario. All we have is:

This Show Wouldn't Do That (which, recall, was point 1 in why we didn't believe Lucius was dead. However, it is weakened by the absence of point 2--unlike with Lucius, the person who "killed" Izzy isn't a character we're expected to like or root for.)

No body at the funeral. I initially interpreted the funeral as being intended as proof that Izzy was really dead, a sort of "don't get your hopes up, guys," after what happened with Lucius. But again, if we're thinking about the framing of Izzy's "death" as an overcorrection to how completely non-fooled we all were by Lucius's, maaaaaybe not? I mean, if he really wanted to hammer the nail into the coffin, we would have seen Izzy lying in the grave, or his body being sewn into a shroud of sailcloth (as was the custom), or something. (Also, point 2b, the unicorn did have two legs.)

No Wee John at the funeral. There are certainly Doylist reasons he might've been left out--maybe the way the shooting schedule worked out, it saved money or some other resource to just leave him out of that scene, something like that. But for an in-universe reason, "somebody had to stay back and nurse Izzy" makes a lot of sense. (I mean, if this show operated on real-world logic, someone would have had to stay with the ship, but that's never been a concern before.) Wee John helping Izzy with his makeup for Calypso's birthday was presumably a bonding experience that involved some vulnerability on Izzy's part, so it would be weird for him to just nope out of the funeral, but plausible that Izzy would find him acceptable as a caregiver.

Stede and Ed's conversation over Izzy's grave could, just barely, make sense as a conversation about how Ed and Izzy are now on separate paths, with no particular guarantee that they'll see each other again. It takes a certain amount of massaging to make it fit, but it almost could? (Except Zheng's part really doesn't--unless the grave actually contains someone Ed cares about, or she isn't in on the secret that the funeral is a fuckery.)

I'm not in love with any of this, or even particularly convinced by it--my enthusiasm for any Season 3 is going to be pretty dampened, unless the announcement that it's been picked up includes the information that Con O'Neill has a contract to appear as a major character in all 8/10/whatever episodes--but IDK, I guess it's maybe not outside the realm of possibility? Ish?

Follower Goals and Check-In

Gadies and Lentlemen, boys and girls, theys, thems, its, and anyone I missed: Greetings to you all!

It is I, Saxtor, the sado-masochistic bastard behind the scenes, pulling the strings, ect, ect, here.

Today specifically, but also the recent arcs in general have been pretty intense recently. So heres a nice little rest, a break from my ([our*] looking at all you freaks who insist on putting our blorbos through hell) torment tapestry. Little bit of housekeeping and updating and what-have-you. Two things really:

Firstly - FOLLOWER GOALS:

Missed Goals + Official Art Commision: So like I kept saying I was gonna do something for a number of different milestones and was then beset by burnout and college kindof-finals. So I will be commissioning something, plan right now is likely just Brigand and maybe Shallow Crimson Tide. BUT if we can get to 100 followers by the end of april, I'll splurge and get PERSEPHONE in there too.

Big Lore Drop - Vote Below: But that's not all, I've got the time and energy for a massive lore dump post, which Y'all can vote on. :) Y'all have got a week to vote, I hope I didn't miss anything.

Secondly - R&R

Once the current arcs are all wrapped up, or I finish school for the year (MAYish); I will be taking a significant and purposeful break (not like how I normally disappear for weeks at a time due to burnout and exhaustion).

I'll be taking a while off, estimation is like a month? But time isn't real and very far away. I will be active catching up my (supposed to be) primary blog @saxtorwritessometimes . I've got a fuck load of poetry and some short stories to format, finish and upload over there.

I will still be active wherever you can manage to find me and will do another one of these closer to that that time. That is all for me today! I got school shit that I mostly have to do.

All of you will have of wonderful rest of your day~

-Saxtor

[woman-respecter]

mean opinions!!

omg thanks for reminding me! ok so theres this game that’s been super popular on here for a few months called mouthwashing. it’s a sci-fi psychological horror about 5 people stranded on a crashed spaceship. i haven’t played it but i looked thru the tag and read the plot summary out of curiosity. a lot of dark stuff happens in it, but nothing too crazy. however it’s heavily implied that the mc raped the only female character. the game itself, from what i know, handles this in a classy manner and the writer is a woman so i have no problem with her choosing to include this narrative.

my problem is with the fandom. they blorbo-ify this game so much, when it really doesn’t seem conducive to that. they get that mc is bad but usually do it in a really immature way, like by drawing the other chars having fun while mc is in the traaaash. which is like whatever, mildly annoying. the worst part is that another character, the captain of the ship who knows about the rape and does nothing about it, is completely beloved by the fandom. he is never condemned, in fact, people are obsessed with him! the worst part is THEY SHIP HIM WITH THE FEMALE CHARACTER. like they make cutesy wholesome fanart of them together! how can people who played the game not understand that he is complicit in her abuse when i got that just from reading the wikipedia article!

idk how complicit the other two male chars are, i could imagine there being a theme of these guys creating a hostile work environment for the female character, but maybe they literally had nothing to do with it, so i can’t judge the reaction towards those guys. all i know for sure is that the captain guy should is NOT meant to be ur sweet sunshine boy. it’s just so childish that people can only understand that actual rape is bad but are ok with rape apologia. like c’mon.

to be clear i think it’s ok to have a fandom about something w dark topics and to draw/write about flawed characters. just not when ur so clearly missing the point.

if I was to get into hockey, where would you recommend I start?

oh god.

First and foremost is picking a team! Easiest way is to go with a team that's in your state/city and going from there, otherwise just finding a team that appeals to you??

I always found the Carolina Hurricanes a fun watch, or the San Jose Sharks have some new baby players that are a hoot to watch. Oilers if you want a heartbreak story every year and of course some OG teams are the Bruins (though they're currently. uh. in a state) the Penguins or the Canadiens.

Another option would be the PWHL (Professional Women's League!) their tickets are WAY cheaper though there's less teams but they DO stream their games on youtube!

The lingo can be a little tough, especially bc you have official terms and you have slang and announcers can and will use both. As will the players. As will the people yelling on your dashboard.

if you troll reddit enough you will find streams for free, just be aware of viruses.

The Canucks are getting some good attention bc their captain kind of just looks like a sick victorian boy all the time. Some people find him hot even, I hear.

it's okay Quinn Hughs. The Hockey announces can't get you.

The Hockey world is going through a bit of a crisis of identity right now. With the election a lot of (very rich, white, powerful men players) have been showing their ass, and some trades have really shook up the league and we lost two players last year to a drunk driver hit and attempted run that's really had some lasting shockwaves in the community. The Four Nations face off (a game between four different nations in the NHL) was meant to be played with a memorial to Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau but got derailed by the trade wars between Canada and the US. It was funny to see the rage, but sad to know what it was supposed to be about. If you do ever wanna watch some really fucking goof hockey, Johnny Hockey comps are a great way to fall in love with the game. He was a blast to watch and everyone misses him.

I'd also shoutout some of my more hockey moot blogs like @whirlpool-blogs who do be reblogging the blorbos

Who are your second and third favorite characters in Plague Tale?

Sophia !!! She's like a fucking awesome pirate captain and a total bad ass and so so so pretty. She also like jaut so sweet to Amicia and Hugo. She is "I've only known these two for a few minutes and I wil already l give my life for them." Girl has so many reasons to dip and she's still so helpful ans sweet to Hugo, and real with Amicia. Loved every moment of having her around. I may yap in depth tomorrow? (It's 1 am) but AUGH AUGDHD AUHHHHH

And then we got Lucas!

He's shipped with Amicia (which i hate bc fuck you this is a WONDERFUL found family opportunity AND LET THE TEENS REST FFS)

He's an alchemist in training and im missing some big pieces of his characterization and story. He helped the De Runes learn abt the macula. He helps you with all your tools beyond "fling rocks and make nosies"

He's so sweet and genuinely acts like a brother to Hugo ahhhh. He does so much to help calm the siblings down. He is like the walking dictionary. Which makes himb a silly blorbo.

There's. A part in the story where Hugo is really fucked up (catatonic) and Lucas helps talk to him and assesses him while Amicia is looking for a way out and literally breaking down.

Like there are vital points in which he keeps things from breaking down.

Also coming from not knowing about the first game, he was fascinating to slowly figure out.

I'm realizing im pointing out similar things between them lol. Must eep

Will gladly ask about Asteros (sorry if I butchered his name) as I am sooo curious about him!

In one of your fics he uses his wings to hide his face; does he also do that when embarrassed, or when he’s sleeping? Like a little eye mask (MY HEART).

How does the thought thing work? Does he have less control over it when tired/embarrassed? He also seemed close & playful with Odysseus; I know he’s a part of the crew, but are they close friends, or more associates?

Finally, he seemed shy over joining tickle fights. Does he get over that, or at least tickle Elpenor?

(You don’t have to answer every question lol, I’m just so curious about the blorbo. Thank you!)

I WILL HAPPILY ANSWER EACH & EVERY QUESTION THOROUGHLY & AT LENGTH! & you’re all good, you’re just missing an i, so it’s Asterios. I’m so glad you wanna know more about him!

Asterios is surprisingly easy to fluster despite being a grumpy bad boy, & it’s just kind of a reflex to hide behind his wings. They’re closer, & it’s less effort. But he absolutely uses them as a night mask while sleeping! In the fic easy target I mentioned how Leander my other oc will tickle him awake, & I’m tempted to write a fic about that. & how 1 morning, Leander has to go do a job & he asks Perimedes & Elpenor to make sure he gets up on time. & how if he gives them any trouble, “just tickle him til he rolls out of bed” of course they do so much more than that 😈

The thought manipulation power thing comes from Eris, but it’s watered down & he doesn’t really like it, so he never had the best grip on his powers. He didn’t really start intentionally practicing until he became part of the crew. So when he’s not in his right mind, like when he’s drunk, or say, getting his shit wrecked, his thoughts might be a little loud, to put it lightly

His relationship with the captain is like that one kid who acts up & is still like bffs with the principal BECAUSE they get in trouble so much. So yeah, Ody thinks he’s pretty fun to mess with

He’s VERY hesitant to start shit, but if someone really deserves it, he’ll teach them a lesson. After his public execution of character, he’s not nearly as uptight. But yeah, he’s still pretty shy about it. He won’t hesitate to get revenge tho. Gotta deter those relentless fuckers somehow

Thank you so much for these! As you can tell, I had fun lol

Blorbo: Warriors

Word: Fire

Fire crackled through the captain's eyes as he continued his silent vigil, the gentle sounds of breathing mixed with the sounds of rustling leaves through the trees.

"Wars?" Wind's voice sounded gently as the sailor walked over to him, clutching at his blanket, the small hero sat next to the captain and leaned into him, The captain gave him a sound of acknowledgement prompting the sailor to continue. "I miss my gran."

He exhaled gently through his nose as he wrapped his arm around the sailor, Pulling his scarf around the both of them, "I know tempest, I know-" he paused, pulling the sailor into him. "Hopefully we will see her soon.
