Transcript
Stargrave Elcessor is sitting in her office just repeatedly pressing the button, just over and over again. Click, click, click, click, click. She's watching her feeds, hoping that it will explode, hoping that she will die, that everyone will die, because to her, death is less scary than the threat of fundamental real change.
[Nothing is Stationary starts playing]
But nothing happens when she hits the button. Nothing will ever happen when she hits the button ever again, when anyone hits this button ever again. And to be clear, by taking them offline, it's not just that you've prevented them from exploding. It's that, you know, exploding is their secondary function already. It used to be that these things were built to explode. But for the Divine Principality, stellar combustors were built to prevent explosions, metaphorical and mundane. They are a threat meant to pause possibility, to halt history itself.
And that is what deactivating the stellar combustors has done. This is what Millennium Break has done. It's opened up history. It's created possibility for people across the galaxy. Boots are still on necks, but the biggest hammer, the sharpest knife, the strongest disincentive against pushing back is gone.
And they might do it quietly. But the people on Tartarus 5 celebrate. On Lonn and to Helaine Delta in Thulsa and Xenacip. They celebrate on Bhopal Kha and Maine and Bishamonten, on Carjal and Isfahan and all the rest. On research stations and refineries and on standard spread worlds: not everyone, not every one, but some people touch hands and light candles and some launch fireworks and hide before anyone asks any questions
And some people make plans. On Altar and Brighton and Crown and Gift-3, they make plans. On Moonlock and Seneschal and Skein, on Thyrsis, and on Volition, and on the Brink, and all throughout the Twilight Mirage, they make plans. And in Sinder Karst and in Joyous Guard, in Carhaix, on the Isle of the Broken Key, in City City, on New Oath, in the Crown of Glass, in Baseline; all across Palisade, the plans are already in motion.
Jade Kill: in motion. Violet Cove and Rose River, Carmine Bight and Gray Pond: in motion. The Blue Channel: they're moving on them now, because against all odds tomorrow is coming and it brings more work. And for the first time in weeks, the sun will feel good on their skin as they do it.

ok question. I do not swear out of personal choice/upbringing, and it is physically so difficult to put a curse word into writing - but it would fit really, really well. I legit can't think of any other word that would make quite this emotional impact in this specific instance.
anyways question is, does anyone have any advice or rationalizations that I can make to my brain for writing something a bit sweary without feeling like I'm .... idk betraying my own standards ig??

About Childe and his weird ethics.
He reminds me of what I know of real world medieval knights. Chivalry was a thing only applied to equals.
There was no glory in harming noncombatants and generally you would want to avoid that, but if you absolutely needed to sack a city (or take a city hostage to lure out its patron deity) then no one would blame you.
There was a lot of scheming too.
There's certain irony in wanting to be a fairytale knight and becoming a real one instead.

Too considerate fiancé ally
Siege and Storm- Chapter 21
Malyen skips his watch, gets smashed instead, and Alina almost dies. Nikolai finds out, when Alina sends for him to discuss her "lead" on the Firebird.
Why is Nikolai ~nice~ to him? Considerate?
Malyen's acting like an asshole towards Nikolai, Nikolai suffers him for Alina's sake, okay, but why is everyone kind to him?! It's not even passive-aggressive! He's not some baby to be coddled!
With all due respect... which is none, since this is a prince of Royal blood talking to a nobody drunkard, who just failed his one and only official task, effectively endangering the future of the whole country.
Nikolai is incredibly tactful, so he receives snide barb in return.
During this whole scene, Nikolai's acting like a perfect gentleman, letting Malyen's misbehaviour slide for Alina's sake. In return, she think him all too happy to exploit her weakness.
Y'no what? I want Alina to SEE the difference!
That perhaps she doesn't need to be treated like shit. She doesn't need to feel alone, while waiting for scraps of negative attention. It's about time she started to value HERSELF a little. If you need a love triangle quadrangle (and don't have the balls for twisted adoring ETL), at least let the girl pick someone who's kind to her.
