#Man she never had a chance

[ramblinganthropologist]

Oh, I just got 1 AM feelings about Avery Hawke and the idea of a feral cat vs a cat someone kicked out of the house.

Some might say she's feral - she'll hiss and she'll growl and be on guard. But that's people she doesn't trust.

Give her love, companionship, and a soft place to rest and you'll see she's just scared and betrayed. She can see people aren't all bad.

I might have to write Anders reflecting on this as he is the resident cat guy and can see the similarities between her and the cats he takes care of in Darktown.

Only he'll never tell her - she's a dog person. Damn Fereldens.

My absolute favourite quote from ITSV has always been "no matter how many times you get hit can you get back up?" Said by Gwen when they were testing Miles if he's strong enough to be Spider-Man. And I always wanted to see that quote being more significant in the future and it was straight up beautiful watching both Gwen and Miles in ATSV getting hit and going through so much crap separately and getting back up right after without taking any break. He learned this from her.

i know we rightly talk about the lesdaughter toxic cycle but thinking about Louis, the parentified child to his siblings and 'man of the house' to his mother, and Claudia stepping up to take care of Louis in turn when he can't leave Lestat and she has to take power and make direction in their relationship even as she is always the child

--------------------------------------

Ended up outlining a completely different fic as a Segway for an explanation instead of making progress on the Royal Flush Haunted Honk AU's Clown Motel Fic like I wanted to but uh....

For y'all's review for the AU: A Prequel Outline - Divorce Saga Domon

--------------------------------------

Hey real quick - I'm thinking of maybe changing the timeline to 2 years post canon as opposed to 3 years and change post canon.

The reason being: I had a thought that this scene could either be part if the fic or if it's getting to big then it could be a stand alone tie-in prequel fic as part of this AU but - like

Immediately Post Divorce Domon Needs Space and runs off. As one does. And he runs to Earth because he just wants to Get Lost for a while.

He has Argo smuggle him out to avoid detection.

Argo has Andrew help stow Domon in a storage hanger of a Neo Canadian supply ship that's returning to the US - they have trade often enough and share agricultural resources - which leads to Domon ending up in New York when he hits Earthside pavement.

He's privately worked on his English the last couple of months and after being dropped in New York with a different hairstyle, outfit, and accent he's unrecognizable. 

He considers making his way west to get some solitude in the wilderness, but something about that initial plan feels off now that he's on the ground.

Chibodee is also Earthside for a special series of prize fights aimed at raising charitable appeal for the US in the eyes of Neo Americans.

Domon decides to hit up Chibodee for a fight on a day between matches hoping it'll clear his head and give him the clarity to decide on a course of action. What ends up happening is an unexpected heart to heart via blows and a breakdown.

Domon is happy for Rain and Kyoji, and he knows it's not true; but he feels like he lost a piece of himself when his relationship with Rain fell apart.

Domon's instinct is to run after that but Chibodee knows this city and Domon doesn't hide out for long before Chibodee drags him back to his place to stay and just "Chill out and breathe. You don't have to be anyone but yourself here. You can take as long as you need to find out what everything changing means for you." Friends and teammates stick together.

So Domon spends a few weeks with Chibodee sparring and hanging out in New York. Chibodee does a frankly awesome job at containing his feelings because he's focusing on Domons feelings and being a good friend first and foremost. Whatever he's feeling can wait until after Domon is done going though it.

There's a bit of a twinge in Domon's heart as he leaves that he can't really place.

After he returns to Neo Japan and gets settled back into life with his family, The Dreams start.

They're mainly set in New York. Small things first like noticing Chibodee's smile and his eyes. Then sparring sessions that begin to turn lurid.

He thought these kinds of dreams would stop after he was married.... he doesn't know what to do about this.

I just figure it gives more clarity and sense of time for the journey from Comphet Marriage Dissolution to Feelings to Confession. Idk.

But I got stuck on a bit and then had this thought and needed to get it down before I lost it and it was so long it made sense to make it its own post as opposed to several replies.

The Maize and Clown Motel will probably still be 3 years and change post canon for clarification.

THE ORDER OF PALMS An order of holy folk that serve The Helm, working to create powerful Aasimar Paladins for the purpose of protecting any who hire their help. [BACKSTORY UNDER CUT]

One day, Gjör and her peers were lead by their mentor Opheria, to a mission far from their home. On the peak of that mountain village, they saw upon the horizon, the castle of their home go up in flames. Horrified and scared, the apprentices sought to follow their mentors guidance, and followed her lead into a small barn. It was there, that Opheria proceeded to slaughter each and everyone of the apprentices. It seemed she somehow had a hand in this sudden attack on the Order of Palms. Gjör D'annevual survived a sword through the 'heart', on account of a rare condition, that places her heart on the other side of her chest. When she finally managed to bring herself back home, the Order was insulted by her survival. She had so many better peers, why couldn't any of them have survived? This runt was seriously the only thing that survived Opherias wrath? It was better to just wash their hands clean of this. Thus the Order decided to banish Gjör from their ranks. She now travels the land in search of a purpose.

Odypen definitely and equivalently adore each other BUT I weirdly can't see them as the type to actually say "I Love you".

They still definitely vocalize their love for each other but it's more so in "My Joy", and "Extraordinary Woman", "Strange Woman/Man", etc. And very cheesy lines (both say some cheesy shit in the Odyssey, and he definitely does in the Iliad as well. "Joy like a drowning sailor seeing land" bit???)

I could see "I adore you" but even then, that's probably during very specific moments but the actual "I love you"??? I just typed it just now for fic shit and... It weirdly just didn't feel right and I don't know why. 😅

Idk maybe it's kind of because I see them as over the top in ways, they love wordplay and riddles and I think they'd almost think "...That's not good enough >:( " about it??? I don't know???😂

@magecrashout asked ❝ breathe? what useless advice is that? ❞ hawke snapped. sometimes words came out like poison spat out her mouth - now she regretted it instantly. her eyes turned away in sorrow. ❝ i'm sorry, ❞ the apology was soft and quiet. ❝ breathing won't help it, it won't fix anything, isabela. ❞ and she hated to be like this.

truth be told, isabela didn't have better advice. she was leaving kirkwall, and that'd be the end of that. this chapter — this fucked up chapter— in her life would come to a close. maybe once it's all over she could laugh about it with drink in hand ; but not today. hightown was toppled — meredith was dead. the stinging stench of kirkwalls subjugated arranged to pyre burnt at her eyes and sickened her stomach. the smell of death lingered in the city, and the people were its price to pay.

a scintillating gaze is tossed over one shoulder, a breathe pushing through grit teeth before the captain turned over.

" look — i know breathing won't solve everything. you and i lost a lot to this city, and i won't let it take anymore of me. i know you're hurting, but i have to think about myself here. " a hand, tender, pushes fingers beneath the mages chin, lifting her head so they could meet each others gaze. drowned in sorrow as she was, blood magic had seeped into those sweet eyes and tainted the woman she'd sought to love — the woman she swore to stand by.

" . . . i'm leaving in two-weeks, and that's final. if the calling of viscount still strikes you, you'll hear no quarrel from me.

you'll keep doing what you do best, and i'll do what i do best. you've made that abundantly clear. "

isabela's hand retracts, almost regretting what she'd said. deep down, those flushed feelings burned away at memories of blood magic — of corpses. seas of them.

" everything we've done since the night meredith fell — the mass executions... i can barely stomach the idea that you were the one behind all of it. i can't — "

she pauses.

words brimmed behind her lips now, but what she wanted to say was insincere. could she ever say that after all of this meredith might have been right?

if this is what lives in the hearts of apostates turned to blood magic — ...

the captain shakes her head. " i can reconcile with you later, hawke. i have a ship manifest to go through. " no nickname, no mirth... isabela wasn't herself.

Do you ever think about how Starline task failed successfully™ with Surge and Kitsunami?

Despite the hours of hypnotism, training, making sure they answered all his questions correctly, there was something hollow about it all. Surge could say that she hated Sonic, but she was more into the idea of rebellion and chaos and wrecking shit for fun than the idea of replacing or killing Sonic. Kit said he would support Surge no matter what. This wasn't necessarily a lie, as he would put Surge's wins first, and yet he doesn't seem as excited or passionate about it or driven as he does at the end of his original hypnosis cycle. He gets the job done as Starline asks, he helps Surge finish the training fast, which she wants, but he's just sort of playing the support role in a sense.

I think about the scene where Kit and Surge fight Starline after watching his video footage, and Starline says that this has all happened before, yet there's this implication that Kit is fighting this time.

Starline forgot about Kit during the battle.

Do you think that all those other times they found out more about themselves in Starline's files Surge was there alone, or perhaps Kit stood aside and watched as Surge fought Starline (choosing not to intervene, opting to allow Surge to face the consequences of such a move)? Do you ever think about how despite all the resets Surge and Kit managed to have a growing bond? Do you ever think about the possibility that Surge won this time because Kit was here? Do you ever think that Kit was here because their fabricated bond began to become real?

Do you ever think about how Kit is at his happiest when Surge includes him? When everything they're fighting for his about the two of them? Both of their revenge. Both of them getting to say "fuck you" to Starline, Eggman, Sonic, and the world?

Starline couldn't get Surge and Kit to work together as a team the same way Sonic and Tails do. He couldn't get Surge to perform a job to completion and efficiently rather than just trying to have fun and win, much less get her to understand that she needed to appreciate Kit as a partner and support (that it meant nothing if they didn't finish the training together). Perhaps part of it came from how he made Kit to be fixated on Surge, while Surge was meant to be fixated on replacing Sonic, meaning that by design (by even refering to Kit as support rather than a partner) they were not going to turn out like Sonic and Tails.

And yet, even by the end of Imposter Syndrome and by issue 50, they'd changed. When they were under Starline, answering to him, and doing what he wanted, he could not make them fit his designs and he could not understand why. But when Surge and Kit chose to be together. When Kit chose to support Surge, when Surge chose to keep Kit as her ever loyal support, and when they chose to pursue a goal and work together

How ironic it is that they became more like Sonic and Tails in that moment than they ever were before

They could never be who Starline wanted them to be when he was alive, but now that he's dead they're fitting the roles he'd designed for them more than ever. Funny, isn't it? Ironic.

And I think about Kit and Surge of the present. The idea of Kit, who wants the best for Surge, who wants to be by Surge's side forever, who wants her attention and wants nothing more than to wreck shit and create a life with her outside of "good" or "evil". The idea of Surge, who has gone from seeing Kit as a mere tool in her shed to someone that's hers. At the beginning it meant nothing to her, but now it means something to her that Kit was practically made just for her. Surge, the tenrec who wants Kit by her side, who wants his help, who sees him as her partner and supporter, no one else's.

They're a package deal.
