I get why people say Wyll/Karlach is enemies-to-lovers but it's missing too many of its signatures for me to agree
By nature, E-t-L's are slow burn. A good chunk of the story waits for one party to discover they're on the wrong side/both parties to realize they have more in common with each other than their factions, then a whole other chunk is dedicated to them learning how to trust each other. The higher the stakes in the story, the slower the burn
Yet everything between Wyll and Karlach is revealed and resolved in a single conversation. There are no lasting consequences of that initial animosity. Both are too good to hold grudges and all the fault lies firmly in hands not their own. Karlach trusts Wyll instantly and he her. Their friendship is so immediate that it's easy to forget that we met Karlach with the intent to kill her
And then there's the source of their quarrel. Wyll was led to believe Karlach's a devil seeking destruction and Karlach was just trying to go home. The thing that sets them against each other isn't their own beliefs or loyalties or anything deep seated and personal, it's the chain of command, something they're both eager to be rid of by the time we meet them. While it gives them something in common, it leaves them with nothing to unpack or overcome together
Compare that to the king of E-t-L's, Zutara of Avatar the Last Airbender. Zuko spent most of the show's runtime trying to capture the Avatar to guarantee the Fire Nation's total conquest, something Katara wants to prevent at all costs. When the two are stuck together by happenstance, they lash out at each other only to bond over their lost mothers. Then Zuko betrays her, something Katara does not forget and does not forgive until he proves himself much, much later. Afterwards, they support each other, watch over the others together, and make a damn good team against Azula. Perfect, should have been canon, fuck Bryke
Honestly, I think Wyllach is just Faerûn's version of a meet-cute
#baldur's gate 3#yodeling into the void#karlach cliffgate#wyll ravengard#ive always found it difficult to justify killing karlach once you learn abt her backstory#outside of being an apathetic murderhobo what reason is there to kill someone trying to flee a war they never wanted to join?#i think some elements could have been salvaged if karlach had genuinely been a fiend#perhaps another cambion to contrast mizora and raphael#or maybe an alu-fiend for variety?#hells even a straight up succubus to really make the player wonder if she's going to be a threat if allowed to live#adds to the whole monsters in the making bit going on#her backstory and abilities would have to be altered but i dont think her personality would need to change at all#itd be neat to see a devil that isnt a business major#and i really like that one rewrite post where Wyll's relationship w Mizora is less antagonistic bc she's yknow.#actually being manipulative in her affection rather than whatever the fuck she's doing in canon#and the reason wyll is so susceptible to it is bc he believes so strongly in the good in everyone. even devils#and karlach being a devil whilst also a genuinely good person would open his eye to the fact that Mizora is Not Good#especially not good for him#i like wyllach but it doesn't intrigue me quite like wyllstarion or wyllzel#those two ships have that zing of 'by all accounts i should kill you for being a threat to innocents yet i cant help but fall for you'#fiend!karlach would fit right into that particular lovely niche#ngl the more i think abt it the more i want fiend!karlach#toss in werewolf!shadowheart and you'll have an entire party consisting of nightmare fuel and gale#make him be like sole human freddie in the eldritch scooby gang lmaoooo

dmc orpheus au where trish baits dante into hell with the possibility of saving vergil and dante bets his amulet to mundus in a deal: he will return to the human world with nelo angelo at his back but if he turns around to check, he loses both his brother and the amulet, which means staking the fate of the entire human world on the line just for the chance of getting vergil back.
#orpheus metaphors is about the devotion. i went into hell because i love you. i turned around because i love you.#dmc#dmc.txt#dante dmc#vergil dmc#mundus is banking on getting the amulet AND vergil who has the amulet and with a shard of yamato to open a gate again#dante & vergil#devil may cry

Hey Loquaciousquark, I've been reading your Tavstarion fics and absolutely loving them! I also really like your Tavish, she is a joy to read. I also hear everything she says in a Scottish accent, and it makes everything even better!!!
I name Tavish's brother something VERY SLIGHTLY SCOTTISH and my God does the movie night discord come out slavering for blood
the worst part is I can't even tell which one of you this is!! I'm laying 75-25 odds on @bettydice over @mystery-moose but you're both bloody MENACES
#quark replies#Anonymous#tavish gale#who speaks in NOT A SCOTTISH ACCENT#i named her dead brother finlay and opened the doors of hell#baldur's gate 3#bettydice#mystery moose#good Lord

why should it just be steve who has all the torturous purgatory realm fun?
#dbd#myart#wip#quick clarification for those only familiar with the american version of ringu: sadako is 19.#anyway. I love that dbd lets me explore steve and nancy's characters outside the bullshit that the show is.#because the whole steve and nancy dynamic is Interesting. but the dustbags are plagued by cerebral hetrot so that story never GOES anywhere#it's just the “Waaaah love triangle OMG!!! will they? won't they?” crap. idk man. idc. why're these dumbasses breathing in Upside down air?#some people here have seen lucy before-- he is the ghostface pictured. and he's an OC. different person entirely from danny.#I won't explain his full lore here but-- he was a drag queen before the fog who started out by only killing those who he felt deserved it.#his entire persona satirises catholicism and he calls himself “the holy ghost” rather than ghostface. the entity made him an actual devil.#he's obsessed with steve because he LIVES his own role so he sees steve as his heroic opposite or some fucked up gay shit like that.#he's clutching kate's heart because if he were a real character in the game-- he'd have two moris.#one standard... and one for if a steve is present in the lobby. the second would involve him carving out the heart of a survivor as a gift.#he never harms steve though-- so it makes steve's penchant for self-sacrifice pointless.#steve instead has to do what he can to open the gates as fast as possible-- or watch everyone else die! :)#as for the toxic yuri-- it occurred to me that sadako's backstory bears some striking similarities to barb's story.#as soon as I realised this-- it was like I had suddenly gained the ability to see a new colour I could not see before.#sadako wanting to torment nancy as sick revenge for what happened to her but using barb's death as justification for this...#...nancy being unable to escape the ghost of barb... even in this hell dimension full of terrifying monsters--#it is still the memory of the girl she feels she “let” die in steve's pool that scares and hurts her the most.#not to mention that sadako's powers are reminiscent of how the upside down related fuckery appears...#the screwy technology. the telekinesis.#I just REALLY love seeing characters be forced to confront difficult parts of themselves even if that shit REALLY hurts.#dbd makes it so easy to do that to any given character. of course this goes both ways too-- it'd force lucy & sadako to change too.#which opens the door for torment on their end too because killers who disobey the entity are tortured into obeying.#a rock and a hard place on both ends. and that is Exactly how I like it. intense. complicated-- a puzzle to be solved.

fic: all your wasteland flowers [chapter v]
the ballad of songbirds and snakes; lucy gray baird/coriolanus snow; R, 5/?
Freedom.
For the last few years, freedom has been nothing but a fantastical concept to her, a dream far outside her reach. A child’s tale, the kind she tells Mallory before bed.
But it is close now, so close. Almost at the tips of her fingers. Foolishly enough, Lucy Gray begins to hope again.
-
or: Lucy Gray Baird survives Coriolanus Snow. However, she's not the only one. [post-canon]
read @ ao3
#snowbaird#lucy gray x coriolanus#coriolanus x lucy gray#coriolanus snow#lucy gray baird#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#my fic#fic: wasteland#or: things start looking up for lucy gray#christmas special in which coriolanus does mr. napkinhead and lucy gray is enchanted#IM KIDDING the gates of hell would probably open beneath me if I tried to write this

today’s first note of love post is brought to you by me reading too much into xiao hai wearing a baseball cap the first time he goes to echo music and gets officially introduced to neil
i just find it so interesting because the only other time we’ve seen xiao hai wearing a hat in these first 5 episodes was in the flashback when he was going to magnet’s concert the day matt died
i wonder if maybe some subconscious part of him was trying to emulate neil’s look from the day they first met
but what fascinates me the most is that on a narrative point of view the hat is an element of concealment: in the past neil used it to help not being recognized by people, but in the present he’s using it to metaphorically hide himself away too. a baseball cap, in particular, is also a type of hat that with the right angle can somewhat cover the eyes, which in this case really are the window of the soul: you can tell a lot about how both neil and xiao hai feel by the emotions they’re conveying through their eyes, and a lot of communication between them is also done just by looking at each other, so i think it’s interesting that in their official first meeting, which goes spectacularly bad, they’re both somehow blocking themselves from being fully seen by the other
and if we keep this in mind, then it's not surprising that the first time we see neil without the hat in the present is when he is back on a stage, after six years, because of xiao hai
without the hat hiding them, they're finally able to actually see each other
#well friends#you know the psych ward has opened its gates for me once again when i start making badly written 'analysis' that either#a) are obvious to everyone and/or b) only make sense to me#anyway the difference in the way they look at each other at the beginning and at the end of episode 2 is insane#xiao hai literally has stars in his eyes when neil he's singing how the hell did michael do that#first note of love#neilsea#m: txt

okay so this is a big ass stretch i'm talking but hear me out
cause you see our dear little leonarda is awsome, they are the best.
that backward cap design is iconic, but you know who else wears a backward cap and is iconic???
this is Boboiboy, every Malaysian and Indonesian child would be familiar with him, he's a sweet kid that had recently experienced so many traumatic adventures but that's no important.
you see Boboiboy here has a cool trick up his sleeves
the child can multiplies.
each one have a different elemental ability with some neat hat arrangement to help us tell who is who?
and I need someone to draw Leo with similar design like these
#don't mind me#qsmp#qsmp leonarda#boboiboy galaxy#boboiboy#that two tags was never ment to meet#but here i am opening the hell gates#i just think that leo would look so cool with the designs#headcannons#qsmp eggs
