Gold...please?

I advocate for not raising up a character while bashing others...now, allow me to contradict myself. I think a turning point that helped make Dagur my favorite character was when Berk's gold was lost. I've complained to someone I know, but I want to complain here too, so please bear with me. Why on Earth did the Riders not tirelessly search for it? The gold got lost (which never should've happened in the first place, but that's not what this post is about). The only thing worse than that is how indifferent the others were. There were two episodes about the problems with this. Hiccup was nervous about being around Stoick as he should have been. Do you know what would've been a good way to say sorry? Getting the gold back. Then there was an episode where the trade routes were blocked. They literally showed a hungry child being happy over an apple. This somehow didn't give the Riders the kick in the rear they needed to really buckle down and find the gold. There was even a Gruffnut episode! Just to put things in perspective, there are 13 episodes in each season of RTTE. The gold was lost in the 12th episode of one season and found in the 8th of another. Wow. So much time to go without gold. Luckily, Dagur found it. I genuinely don't think Berk was ever going to get it back because even in that episode, it's not like the Riders were looking. They were relaxing at home. Then I have to laugh because Hiccup's busy rushing Dagur to tell them where the gold is. Excuse me, Sir, don't act like you care about the gold now. Where's this enthusiasm been for this entire season?

So, yeah, Dagur gets extra points for finding the gold. Remember too that he had no real stakes in this. If Berk goes without, Berserker Island is still okay. At that point, he wasn't necessarily buddy buddy with them yet. They were on the way, but I doubt they would've called him evil for not finding it. Still, Dagur got the gold for them and just wanted some of Viggo's. He even mentioned it to them to see if they'd be okay with it. He definitely didn't need to do that. He could've searched for the gold and taken all of it. We know Dagur used to be greedy as all get out, so it would've been a very pre-redemption thing to do. Fortunately for Berk, their new/old ally looks out for their best interest. Too bad their own Vikings don't.

i wish sex was an easy, casual affair and not a mine field of anxieties, weird feelings about other people being vulnerable, disassociations with my body, fears of violation and pregnancy, and weird specific body sensitivities.

I know I want to want to have more sex but rarely do I ever feel like I have the opportunity to do it in an physically and emotionally safe place.

Imo the best ending to Supernatural would have been to just stop with them alive on a random hunt or them finding jobs and living the life they just wanted or whatever.

And then the story just fucking STOP, because Chuck is not here anymore, so they are no longer part of a story they are finally free. And we could still write and read fanfic about how they live after they won.

i love the dragon tamer saying plainly that dragons "are not playthings for games of men" and rhaenyra just ignoring him like yep that encapsulates the entire reason for the dragons going extinct, because targaryens could not stop using them as cannon fodder and killed them all

I hate the "as a girl whose grandmother was a slave, can I just say not cool?" line from hazel in moa it's the worst line of dialogue rick has written in his life. But like what the fuck. what kind of insane lore drop is that. hazel's grandmother was an enslaved woman. marie levesque cast a spell to meet the god of riches so that she could finally know what it was like to live beyond the indigence and suffering of her mother. marie wanted to be a queen, not a slave like her predecessors. she wanted pluto to give her all the riches beneath the earth

and then the earth enslaved her body. gaea possessed her and through gaea's influence marie forced hazel for six months to overexert herself to the point of collapsing to raise and reanimate alcyoneus. gaea worked hazel like a slave

it's so explicit here. this is SLAVERY. gaea was using hazel's forced labor for material wealth and power. she was only 13. her grandmother was used and her mother was used and hazel herself was used, they were black women exploited for what their bodies could provide in service to the hideous intentions of monsters in power over them. hazel broke free from the cycle and saved the world all by herself by choosing death - it was the only way out

and even in her second chance at life she's actively fighting to die again. she's an instrument of the gods being used to achieve an end that is supposed to kill her. she was convinced that freeing thanatos would result in him taking her life. she didn't know throughout hoo if her father would kill her when the main quest succeeded. even nico didn't think hazel was going to live. she didn't WANT to die a second time. but she fought for the world and for her friends anyway

by the end of marie's life she was only skin and bones. gaea used her body until she didn't need it anymore. marie was the daughter of an enslaved woman who dreamed of being a queen and instead the earth goddess robbed of her life and dignity. and her soul would have been tortured further in the fields of punishment if not for hazel's unfathomable selflessness and bravery to negotiate for mutual asphodel. hazel never even saw marie again after that. what was it that doomed the levesque family? that marie asked the god of death and riches for too much? she deserved even more than what she asked for. I'm fucking sick no one talk to me

In The Man with the Twisted Lip, Holmes brings Watson to the St. Claire's home to spend the night. This wasn't planned, they meet in he opium den by chance and Watson joins Holmes in his adventure impromptu.

When they go to sleep, Watson is wearing a night shirt under his over coat, while Holmes is wearing his casual robe over his normal day clothes (ok cause he didn't actually sleep that night).

The only one who knew he was spending the night someplace else was Holmes, he's the only one who could have prepared.

Holmes let Watson wear his night shirt to bed <3

people are pointing out that cater has a crown on his cheek instead of a diamond, how he's almost certainly the dorm leader in his dream, and talking about how he could actually be based on the king of hearts and while i agree that makes sense i also find it kind of funny because:

cater himself has directly compared TREY to the king of hearts before. trey the king of hearts holds less authority than riddle the queen, and is extremely reluctant to rock the boat and go against riddle's the queen's decisions, but is also the only one who's able to keep her him tempered and change her his mind when he's willing to stand up to her him. but again, i can see the argument for cater being inspired by him + he's the one with orange hair like the king of hearts, and he's more goofy like the king of hearts is. i just think it's pretty clear that trey has that as part of his character and the idea that they're both the king of hearts in some way is very funny to me for some reason askgjdfhf

If it was a choice between actually getting to know our companions better and developing their relationships with Rook as the player's avatar through classic, Bioware-style investigative conversations or having companions appear in random locations every time you return to the Lighthouse to listen to them spout banter that I could have just heard in the field instead, I know which I would have preferred.

It feels like 2021 again!

hiii im sure you’ve answered this before but in regards to your twst x Pokémon, how do you choose which Pokémon go give to the cast?? really curious since your choices are unique :O

unique in a good way, I hope? ��� (jk jk I haven't come across too many pokemon AUs, so I was going in without preconceptions, I guess!) I was sorta aiming somewhere between doing, like, a full AU with internal consistency and everything, and just picking entirely based on theme/character, so maybe that's why! basically I just set some arbitrary rules (no legendaries/no repeats/evo stages based on year) and then went on ~vibes~. a couple were also suggestions (thank you guys!) and last-minute decisions, so it was a bit of a delightful mess of ideas!

my one regret is that I should have given Riddle a Togedemaru after all. ...you know what, he can have one now, why not
