Hi what does the achillean in your profile mean ? Did your mother dip you in a river with questionable pollution control? Does your sulking throw a wrench in the war plans of the Greek alliance? Will future historians describe you and your partner as just friends? Do you hate sandals? What is it?
I’m just like achilles fr (looooves guys so much. and guy adjacent beings) except without the invulnerability. I’m pretty much vulnerable to every material on earth. for example if you hit me with a metal pipe I’d probably get hurt
#ask tag#LOVE HOW THIS IS PHRASED#basically achillean is the masc version of sapphic!!!#so. it’s not exclusively liking men. you can be bi and achillean#it basically just means you have a male aligned gender and you like male aligned individuals#can be masc enbies or fem men or anything (:< 👍#its a term I really love and feel really fits my experiences!!!#also thanks for being cool about it I got scared when I started reading your ask#because the last person to mention it to me told me they hoped my pets die and that I killed myself for identifying as achillean#weird people out there#anyway!!! it’s not a super well known term

Logan waking up from a night terror and stabbing Wade, and then having a panic attack because he was so out of it that when he gains just enough awareness all he can see are his claws in a vital part of someone he loves, but he doesn’t connect that it’s Wade and he’ll be fine.
#I had a strong thought about how everyone portrays them as loving violently when we know both of them love sweetly#my friend said ‘they love hard’ which is the most accurate phrasing for it I think#poolverine#deadpool x wolverine#wade x logan#Deadpool#Wolverine#wade wilson#logan howlett#shut up grandpa

something about how garak and julian both lead with their worst foot forward as the first impression.
which is why The Wire works so well for them, because it’s both of them on full display in a way that forces them both to accept they either like each other at their most infuriating or they don’t. and turns out, they do like each other, even when they’re both being incredibly aggravating to each other.
julian contends with the reality that garak has likely killed and tortured countless innocent people, will likely never be truly honest with julian about anything ever, and that he can be incredibly venomous and cruel at his worst, and julian decides he still cares about garak and will still be his friend in the aftermath.
garak gets to see how impossibly stubborn and reckless julian can be, how frustratingly dedicated to his ideals of looking after other people he is, how utterly annoying julian can be when he’s got his mind set on something… and garak absolutely walks away deciding these are also julian’s best traits, even if garak thinks they might need tempering for julian’s own good.
they don’t actively consider each other proper friends until they have been forced to look at the parts of each other they might find most off-putting, and they both see that and go “… yeah, i still like him, even more now actually.”
idk there’s something about how they find themselves endeared to each other for the exact same traits that would normally drive others away. they fall in love with the whole picture right from the start. of course, julian can joke about garak having murdered people. he knew that from the word go and decided he liked garak anyway. of course, garak falls deeper in love with julian when he demonstrates his near-suicidal levels of dedication to protecting others, that determination was what sparked garak falling in love to start with.
and they can still dislike parts of that whole, garak definitely wishes julian would be more selfish (for the sake of self-preservation, mostly), and julian doesn’t exactly *approve* of garak doing morally reprehensible things, but… they knew exactly who they were falling in love with and went all in anyway.
something about falling in love with someone from their worst parts so that every time you have to reassess your view of them, it only makes them more lovable.
#star trek#star trek ds9#garashir#julian bashir#elim garak#.is this coherent i can’t tell.#.i think it kinda circles.#.i am using worst in a very subjective way bc idk how else to phrase this.#.it’s like. the traits that would make most people walk away.#.but it just makes these two run at each other full speed instead.#.i mean also julian does clearly have some weird specific kink for garak doing awful things.#.but idk if julian knows that himself.#.like he seems like he WANTS to be put off by learning garak did terrible things and then he just isn’t.#.anyway i love them both.#.happy new year folks.#trek meta

Hey I'm feeling bold and just had a pretty good slice of cake so I'm gonna go ahead and make a grand declarative statement.
If you are a beginning writer, any advice or expectation that evokes a sense of shame is incorrect and should be ignored. You might work more and grow more and realize the core of what that book or comment or online post said is true, but for now it's wrong. If the advice is phrased in a way that does not inspire you, if it feels like an obligation that makes the act of writing sound tiring, it does not apply to you and your work at this time.
That's all I love you maybe write a little bit today or take a nap.
#writeblr#writing community#Writing Advice#I'd love more writing advice online to be made by people who understand how to phrase the ideas they're trying to get across#Or at least get slightly less defensive when they're called out for a blatantly poor or limited choice or words#That almost seems like the strategy of someone that shouldn't be giving advice

thinking so so hard about vivienne's defensive reactions to dorian and cassandra trying (and failing) to comfort her over bastien's passing. chewing on it. thinking about her inability to talk about bastien, even to an inquisitor when the player tries to talk to her about him.
and then her banter with blackwall, who is one of the companions she has a mostly negative dynamic with, yet it is him and not dorian or cassandra that she responds kindly to.

blackwall doesn't dance around it or try to lessen the blow of bringing it up like dorian and cassandra do, and i think she appreciates that directness. she still doesn't open herself up to him, though. she is so,,, agh
#dai#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#vivienne#vivienne de fer#dorian pavus#cassandra pentaghast#bastien de ghislain#dorian's phrasing of “your friend” also ticks something in my brain due to how he had to treat his relationships with own partners in the#past. he couldn't be open about loving them and maybe he tried to give vivienne a bit of an out to presenting his condolences in the same#way. but vivienne is openly bastien's mistress. everyone knew. its why she has her position at court- to deny her connection#to bastien and limiting it to friendship must of grated on her bad#and then with cassandra vivienne initally seems open to talking about bastien but then immediately shuts it down when cassandra#goes to presumably ask if vivienne is okay. shes okay talking about bastien but not her own emotions around bastien passing#chewing on her

Ramon: So opinions on [Bagi]?
Fit: She's legit, we can trust her. We can trust her.
Ramon: Would you rather a dad or a mom [for me?]
Fit: Uh- I- no one! No one. Let's- let's get over to Felps' Square, Ramon. [They head to the warp at Spawn, then Fit hesitates] Um, wait- Ramon. [He pauses, briefly looks at the camera, then says in a rush] If I had to choose between the two, it'd be a dad. Alright, let's go. Let's go, let's go.
#FitPac#Hideduo#Ramon#FitMC#QSMP#Ramon driving the Hideduo bus today and frickin FLOORING it#I'm a slowburn enjoyer but I do love it when the Eggs are little bastards and tease their parents like this LMAO#If I have time maybe I can compile some of the Fit/Pac moments from today#Ok but this out of everything that's happened lately re: Hideduo stuff; this really warmed my heart#idk it just felt so... realistic? I dunno how to phrase it but something about it really made me go :')#''if I had to choose between the two it'd be a dad''#man idk maybe this is just because that's how I write characters but that really spoke to me#both as a slowburn writer and as a demi-leaning person

In my sleeplessness last night, I decided to note down every time Uncletello says "I'll fix it" or some variation of it since it's used quite a bit! I didn’t do every time Donnie’s repaired something or tried to find a solution because that’s like the whole comic 💀 so I just focused on the use of the word fix in relation to him. THE RESULTS:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5bc59713ef861cec2aa58fd986b5ea90/ffd7f1d78390221e-53/s1280x1920/3e0b4edd8552975400fd3b09ba27d11776b3634b.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dd4c332710ea16eb3d1d7bb8ebee6ad9/ffd7f1d78390221e-4e/s540x810/132f19e4ff0a4bd6aacf23cde01af2aa252db3e8.jpg)
Donnie’s always been the one who handles repairing things and helping his family and doing things for them is his love language. But, his idea of “fixing” really picks up when he’s sick and when he’s trying to get his brothers back. He’s the fix it guy and he tries to do what he does best when he gets anxious. He mends, repairs, he improves and adjusts, he fixes, or at least he tries to, even if the thing he sets out to fix seems impossible or large, like fixing the planet or aging or DEATH. Anything for his family, even everything. I just think it’s interesting that that word in particular is used so often with him!
I also think it’s interesting that during Donnie’s death absence, Casey uses “fix” in the same grand and determined way that his uncle does. It makes me think that Casey’s come to associate “I’ll fix it” with “everything is gonna be okay” because that’s what it means whenever Donnie uses it. He says that everything is gonna be okay, and in one way or another, he usually ends up being right.
OH. MY GOD
#cas details#kinda#?#i love your research#it's interesting because I used fixit phrase on purpose but didn't realize how often

I have mixed feelings about Zerxus in season 3 of TLOVM, but I’ve gotta say hearing him give a Totally Unbiased Account of EXU: Calamity with Definitely No Omissions Whatsoever was kind of funny. Like “ooh I thought I could count on my friends….they condemned our civilisation….” Ok Zerxus. Buddy. Last time I checked, Nydas was actually the only one trying to stop Laerryn from blighting the tree. You sat there like a chump and did not help whatsoever. And uh. “They condemned our civilisation with their hubris” ummm pal I think you’re missing an important detail there. Like yes the point of EXU: Calamity is that everyone played a role in the disaster, everyone was responsible in some ways for that ship crashing into the iceberg, but uh. Zerxus I think some people were maybe a little more responsible than others. Like, for example, the certain someone who pulled the Lord of the Hells into Exandria. I think that individual’s hubris is maaaaaybe a little bit more important than some of the other hubris on the table here.
And like, this isn’t me bashing the writing, I think it is in-character for TLOVM!Zerxus to say this, since he’s been a jaded miserable devil for a thousand years. But omg when he had the CHEEK to be like “in the chaos I found myself face-to-face with the Lord of Torment himself” like EXCUSE ME??? Buddy you just happened to “find yourself” face-to-face with Asmodeus huh??? Just coincidentally, on accident??? You were just taking a stroll around Avalir and he ran into you without warning??
Zerxus. Please. Be serious for a moment. Would you like to explain to Pike the exact circumstances of HOW you found yourself face-to-face with Asmodeus, hmmmmm? A certain “pulling Asmodeus through the tree and unleashing him upon the world” situation?
Like, I know it was meant to be a serious moment with lots of Calamity-related hype but like, it was really giving “Girl what were YOU doing at the devil’s sacrament” energy. In the most literal way possible
#i just know nydas is in the afterlife listening to this and is absolutely PISSED#Like in his dying moments Nydas gave Zerxus an out to avoid becoming a devil and Zerxus willingly decided to become one anyway#and then spends his time bitching about his friends to random strangers in the hells. the Disrespect is Off The Charts#i'm sure people have already spoken about this but i just thought it was so funny#and also this isn't me hating on Zerxus I think his character is super interesting and engaging and I love how Luis played him#but like Zerxus please. You need to learn about the phrase “pot calling the kettle black”#esp bc he's seemingly like “welp time to worship The Whispered One” bro did you learn NOTHING#non witcher#critical role#the legend of vox machina#tlovm#lovm#lovm season 3#zerxus ilerez#exu calamity

How far did you get? (Patreon)
#My art#Handplates#UT#Gaster#Frisk#A DBZA incorrect quote technically - it's just such a raw line#Even what it's in reply to kinda works in this context! ''What exactly changed between you in the future and now?'' Time travel nonsense#It feels real weird to have a piece fully finished in black and white and have that be Correct lol#I am So pleased with the composition of this ♥#Gaster vertical and the human horizonal! Gaster confined and the human-#Hint: He's not looking at Frisk#Gaster being able to see Zarfox consistently is very interesting to me#Or rather - that bit makes sense lol he got as far as he could within the confines of his world and understanding#It's still cool how much he can actually see tho - understand? Interpret? Hard to pin down and define haha#What Sans is able to see doubly interests me - he got some but just glimpses! Different from - I assume - Gaster's consistent sight#Poor Papyrus being left out haha#It's been a while since I've drawn a Vessel - weird to think about Frisk in that context haha#It's accurate! Just weird ♪#I am so in love with Gaster's post-Void design <3 The fact that his lineart is ''canon'' - however you want to phrase it just ughgjkdslafd#Any instance of The Medium being drawn attention to down to its format and details gives me the zoomies lol#Visual representation of the unfathomable! It's so cool!!#And the fact that at the Very least Gaster suspects just how limited his viewpoint is - is phased in and out of it - what he assumes is real#He knows that even with everything that makes him up now - the threads of the multiverse! - it's still so much bigger than he can understand#''More than I thought'' - and then actually getting to talk with some/thing/one(s) that make up at least a sliver of that Bigger#''Less than you'd think'' - like moving a grain of sand that contains a universe on the beach of infinity#Hghhh it's cool <3

should also mention this as a romani person. BIOWARE. HEY. isabela was a racist caricature.
the barely clothed brown woman with a head scarf and gold jewelry that comes from a place of fortune tellers and swindlers, who is also a thief, liar, and very sexualized (also slut shamed vehemently by a white cop)
i see you, gadje. i see rivain will probably be an option to go to in datv too. if you hadnt learned your lesson so help me god......
#dragon age#not to mention how much of like the fantasy surrounding pirates#and how they dressed is straight up ripped from romani culture#like headscarves (dikhlo) and hip cloths and extensive jewelry#also just the stereotype that roma are thieves and con artists#never really knew how to phrase my stance on the antiziganist caricatures#especially since i really love isabela#but its like#come on man.#do better#be better

y'all i know kacchan dying like that must have been traumatizing for the bkdk shippers, but like.... he also died in the gayest way humanly possible.... like i can't even imagine going through that bc on one hand it's like my special boy is dead, but on the other he was so love interest coded, shiggy killed him specifically bc of izuku's intense feelings about him, the fucking yearning for izuku as he died, and then the reveal he carries the little all might card he got with izuku around with him like. i cannot stress enough just how gay his death was. like i just know the shippers had to be a little conflicted
#we won but at what fucking cOST#bkdk#bakudeku#if anyone was around during that time i'd love to hear about it#bc to me it's like the most damning bakudeku evidence ever#just bc of how typical superhero tropes go like.... the villain using the love interest against the mc is such a staple of the genre#and that plot point being given to katsuki is NUTTY it's LIKE WHAT#AND THE FUCKING ALL MIGHT CARD THING TOO HE JUST HAS THAT ON HIM CASUALLY LSJDKLSDJFSD KATSUKI#like ever heard the phrase carrying a torch for someone#that's katsuki and the card
