hi tumblr sorry I disappeared I am back with lamb

[cj-the-random-artist]

Hmmmmmm

Kinda debating taking my QPR Narilamb and giving them their own au... that might be cool.....

Idk what I would do with it, save from making more comics and sketches about them like I've been doing

But I've been like thinking about what it might look like if I wrote up a backstory for this interpretation of Lambert and I have some ideas roughed out so maybe. Just maybe.

I think quite often of the optional little dialogue tree that one can get about Yaevinn in TW2 with an imported save if one sides with Iorveth, and particularly of just how Iorveth describes Yaevinn

The dialogue prompt "I once knew another Scoia'tael - Yaevinn." will lead to the following exchange:

GERALT: I once met another Scoia'tael leader.

IORVETH: Yaevinn. I knew him. He had beautiful dreams and desperately wanted me to share them. Asked the same of you, I heard.

GERALT: You know a lot about me.

IORVETH: I try to know as much as I can - about everyone.

They'll elaborate a little further in this dialogue about how they both agree with Yaevinn's reasons and the fact that Yaevinn "saw combat and killing as poetry" which Iorveth deems unrealistic because "war is prose, with no place for beauty" (how poetic).

But the interesting part to me is the statement that Yaevinn had "beautiful dreams" and how he was this grand idealist, because this seems to be in contradiction with Yaevinn's characterisation. In his novel appearance, he argues against Toruviel's idealism as he proposes shooting the unarmed messenger. In TW1, Geralt refers to him in his journal as being "disillusioned", as well as being "a cynic and a pragmatist", neither of which seem to hold with Iorveth's account. While this can be credited to the fact that it's possible that Iorveth's past-tense statement of "I knew him" means that he hasn't seen Yaevinn in some time rather than, or at least in addition to, the implied death. He has perhaps not seen him since the Second Northern War, where they were both in the Vrihedd brigade, and Yaevinn could have grown more cynical since the Scoia'tael were betrayed by Dol Blathanna, his earliest characterisation is that of the novel canon, and he does not present a particular idealism that would reflect the notion that he is a dreamer.

It can be taken as a choice of characterisation, because for all that Yaevinn is disillusioned, he does have his hopes and desires for the future and his plans at Vizima, just as Iorveth has his hopes for Saskia and Vergen. He has these dreams, even if he tenders them close to his chest and puts the practical aspects first before he allows himself to have this hope. And I think that is a really interesting interpretation, to have this juxtaposition, that he can be both disillusioned and a dreamer, and that he chose a scant few, Iorveth, and then Geralt, to share in those precious dreams.

The notion of Yaevinn having these "beautiful dreams" is also very pertinent to his TW1 characterisation, I think, because there are optional dialogues in which Yaevinn tells the accounts of how he once lived among humans and believed in assimilation, that the humans would accept the elves if given enough time, only to be persecuted and harassed at length until he finally accepted that there was no place for him there, that there could be no assimilation, only annihilation. And even though he knows it is a hopeless fight, he still proceeds onward. He knows his people are dying, and he knows that if they do not act quickly, they will be well and truly doomed to extinction, but he is still trying to fight. That is, in and of itself, an expression of a dream for a better future, even if he thinks it hopeless, or, as Iorveth criticises, unrealistic.

Serious character analysis aside, I think that the absolute funniest interpretation of this dialogue is that it is not to be taken literally about Yaevinn's idealism or lack thereof, but rather as a euphemism -- taking "beautiful dreams" as a euphemism for queer romantic interest; hence "he had beautiful dreams and desperately wanted me to share them" is something like "he likes men and asked me to be his lover", "I hear he asked the same of you" thenceforth meaning something like "were you also his lover/do you also like men" (and the response "you know a lot about me" therefore indicating that he is correct in his judgement). There's like a whole rebellion going on but Iorveth is just checking out his options, y'know.

ok... so Lambert x Eve...

Eve and the two Blaiddyds

Lambert and the two Fierenes

The step-siblings

@blaiddydbrokeit and I were talking, and they have now sent me down the wonderful rabbit hole that is Eve and Lambert getting married and looking after their children.

[lavenoon]

The gang's all here! And Lambert. Sorry, Lambert.

@naffeclipse at this point I'm not even drawing predictions, I'm drawing "So I know what's gonna happen is gonna hurt, but what if I make them hurt in a different way?"

hi excuse me hi. I would love to hear your thoughts about alien, particularly about alien 1979, particularly about ripley and lambert... no pressure but I'm obsessed rn, how do they only have 14 fics on ao3...

hi hi hi!!!

i made an entire slideshow abt alien for my film class when we were studying it so i have a LOT of thoughts abt it that i can't fit here

but i love ripley and lambert's dynamic in the film. i love how ripley's pragmatic side comes out as comforting with lambert? like in this scene where lambert is freaking out and ripley is like shh shh really gently (then yells at the rest of the crew<3)

i also just think lambert is hilarious i laugh every time she goes "i like griping!!"

i get why we didn't see more of them because alien isn't really a character based film but i do think sigourney + veronica manage to add noticeable depth to their relationship in the little interactions and looks

i also like that there seems to be a little tension between them because i think that would be realistic if you're stuck in cramped quarters in a really stressful situation

thinking abt felix being protective of areadbhar and feeling entirely normal about it actually

[sophieswundergarten]

What do you think (or headcanon) Sam Lambert would be doing if he made it back to earth?

Well, that entirely depends on when and in what way he makes it back.

Option A) Hilbert brings him back at the end of Lovelace's first mission to do further testing on. This is bad. But, I'm imagining him hidden away in some secret lab where Lovelace can find him later, when they dismantle Goddard Futuristics at the end of the show. And that way once he gets better he could help them take them down because he probably knows a bunch about the science departments' projects.

Option B) He makes it back because he just. Didn't die. Unrelated hand-wavey reasons he just gets to come back from the first mission and Goddard sues him into silence. Then he would spend the whole time trying to work around the many, many lawyers who are being thrown at him and muster the numbers to get them shut down.

Option C) Re: This Post, Lambert is brought back through alien shenanigans, in which case he would probably spend a lot of time with Lovelace worrying about his supposed lack of humanity. Ultimately, I think it would help the both of them to have another person who understood what they were going through. (And that way Lovelace would have a friend if she ends up living longer than a normal person)

In any case, I would hope he was able to reconnect with his family. I think he'd really like running a little radio station, since I imagine him coming from a fairly small town. That way he could have his own show where he gets to interview people and learn things and share information with others and I just think that would make him really happy.

I decided to re-read the bendy books because it's been a while since I read them.

[ants-personal]

thinking about specs and tucker and how they are still hunting ghosts together with dalton being their new elise every client believes they are daltons gay dads and well they are kinda right more like gay uncles but whatever they are super protective of him and try their best to beat back others from the futher eventually specs loses an eye tucker gets large scars across his arms and chest they support daltons other occupation as a horror painter selling pieces of demons or others they have encountered

[koroart]

Hi! If you want to talk more about your Lambert lives AU but need a new post for it and stuff, I'd love to hear about it more! You mentioned in your last ask about it that you didn't want the post to get too long, so if you still want to talk about it, maybe it will help to have a new ask/post to write on? No worries if you're not interested (I know you could always just open up a text post and write about it whenever lol), but if you'd be up for feeding us with a part two I'd love to hear more about it!

Hello! <3

dbouwebdoew I wouldn't even know where to begin!!

I just have a lot and tbh it's still not quite concrete but I think I mentioned before that it mostly follows the Hopes timeline because it's a little more easier to navigate than the 3Houses one. ( cuz if he lived in the 3Houses routes, it would kinda skew the narrative by a lot , at least, in comparison to Hopes and frankly it's a big headache ) because at least in Hopes , it can turn into a sort of??? Golden route?? Since they all have a common enemy in Those Who Slither in the Dark and all -- and you get the whole picture.

I've talked about it more in depth with friends over the span of months and it's hard to really remember what i had and not to mention i had the tendency to mix them together. So everything is like a weird kinda soup.

All i DO know is that Lambert survives the war ( which war? who fucking knows at this point ) and steps down as king ( cuz at this point his reign would have lasted at LEAST 30+ years but he doesn't step down right away, since they got all this mess to clean and all ) and passes his title to Dimitri ( as do many of the older generations and yadda yadda ) and spends the rest of his days as a sort of ambassador for the Faerghus, which in turn allows him to travel the world ( since Dimitri can't go everywhere all at once ) and just enjoy his life ~
