#OTP: With everything that I am

[nexttrickanvils]

As an archer, timing is important to Claude... too bad his heart picked a bad time to realize how beautiful Teach's eyes are.

I took part in the @claudelethgifts Exchange and wrote up a pre-timeskip piece about Claude realizing he's in love at a really bad time.

that kindled her, she lighted up

Lila's love for learning and Lila's love for people in her life are identical and come from the same place. This is rather unusual and she is consistently transformed into something either less or more than human for it. She is made out to be less than human when her love for people more closely resembles love one might have for an idea or a book or a city. She is made out to be more than human when her love for learning more closely resembles love for a person in its intensity, dedication and passion. Both of these things inspire a fascination that turns sour in others who in return want to make this part of Lila dissappear. It's only with Enzo that she gets to be this way, not only without having it be a bad thing, but also having it be something that she can share and enjoy in the presence of the other.

Hey by the way if anyone tries to deny Kabru is a judgy bitch I’ll send you the panels of him calling everyone worthless

Respect his duality he’s a good boy who genuinely wants the best for everyone but also thinks he has to do everything himself despite being the Least Qualified Ever because no one else lives up to his standards

He doesn’t even want to look at monsters but oh well every single other person is a piece of shit let’s go get my friends killed over and over again

He’s interesting BECAUSE he’s not one dimensional Good Pure Boy all the time, he’s a judgy manipulative little shit who will eat monsters if it gets him towards his goals, which are “nobody should be killed by monsters actually” and “i want to know what the fuck is going on”

He coulda had ONE honest conversation with Laios and known literally everything about him, Laios has never met a filter

But Kabru was raised for a good chunk of his life (6-18) by Milsiril, and for all he believes elves can never understand short lived people… he picked up the whole “I must be secretive and always conceal my own motivations”

He only breaks under literally the most intense high pressure situation he’s likely to see in his life, which along with being the potential goddamn apocalypse is also a rehashing of All Of His Personal Trauma oh and also Every Suspicion He Ever Had About This One Guy

He’s not more honest because he’s an honest person, he’s more honest because he forgot how sentences work when he finally caught Laios and doesn’t have the bandwidth to play the constant 4D chess in his head that underpins his EVERY INTERACTION WITH EVERYONE EVER until Marcille takes the lion

Kabru’s a pretty good person, with extremely good motivations and goals.

He’s a manipulative son of a bitch who will do anything, anywhere, anytime, to meet those goals, and spends a solid chunk of his time and energy on reading people so he can be someone they like… regardless of his own feelings.

He’s the living The Good Of The Many Outweigh The Needs Of The Few, and solidly puts himself in with “the few” by doing shit he hates because he thinks it’ll help.

Isn’t that more interesting than “oh he would never manipulate anyone, he’s so nice and good all the time”?

everything i love gets lost in the drawers

Dean is tired of travel by the time the small airplane touches down in the singular Knott’s Harbor airport, the familiar, old as dirt pilot announcing their arrival to Maine. There are five other passengers, and Dean is the last to depart, nodding to the pilot as he steps out and into the warm evening air. He collects his bag, slinging it over his shoulder, and heads through the airport for the parking lot. Something in his chest eases at the obnoxious red Jeep he finds waiting and the redhead leaning against it, large sunglasses obscuring most of her face. She’s got, for whatever god awful reason, a large posterboard that says ‘SAY IT’S CAROL SINGERS’, in reference of their least favorite Christmas movie, Love Actually, and Dean is already laughing by the time Charlie Bradbury catches sight of him. “Winchester!” she cries, and then Charlie is launching herself off the car and throwing herself into Dean’s arms, hugging him as tight as she possibly can. Dean can’t help the way he grins, wrapping his arms around the redhead’s lithe body and twirling her in place, burying his face in the curve of her shoulder.

or, the Dean/Castiel (and friends) Happy Place AU.

chapter one: real life - monday now posted

The thing that stands out the most to me about Stage of Betrayal is the fact that Rei proves himself completely incapable of envisioning a world in which Hiro would ever willingly leave him behind. Hiro killed himself because Rye made him, because Rye gave him his own gun and forced him to shoot.

To me, the kicker isn't that Rei is actually wrong about this (even strategically speaking, killing himself and destroying all connections to his loved ones was objectively a good move on Hiro's part, and not at all unreasonable nor unheard of considering his job and circumstances), but how he's so deep in denial that he just can't see what happened through any other lenses.

He ignores any and all inconsistencies within his deduction because to acknowledge them would mean he'd have to take into consideration the idea that Hiro immediately chose to kill himself as option number one instead of trying to survive until they could at least attempt an extraction, which feels an awful lot like abandonment. It feels like Hiro put the mission and secrecy above everything else, even Rei (which we know isn't true. Hiro killed himself because he loved the people close to him more than anything and he wanted to keep them safe— which, if you spend more than ten seconds thinking about the scenario, becomes immediately obvious as the motivation behind his suicide).

Hiro killed himself because he was terrified he'd be forced to drag Rei into the line of fire. He did that out of love, without thinking, while Rei can't even consider that as an option because they have fundamentally different ways of thinking and to him it would mean that Hiro didn't care enough to stay alive.

And Rei, being an extremely emotional person, wouldn't handle that well at all— which only leaves him the option of denial (be it subconscious or not).

You know how in bl or even in young adult romance in general you always has the top being more experienced than the bottom when it comes to flirt and sex and sometime in love (tho in this I feel it's more 50/50).

And yet Your Sky subvert that. Because it's obvious that Fah is just as inexperienced as Rak! In THAT scene in Episode 8, he is as awkward as Rak. He has no idea what he is doing, but he is also very much overwhelmed by his desire and want. Both of them are. Because it's obvious Rak wants it just as much as Fah. Even if he is not ready yet. He wants it, just now isn't the right time. And Fah is clumsy in the way he touches Rak. You can see his head only think about Rak. And nothing else. At first his touches are timid, awkward. But he still goes for it, until it becomes obvious Teerak isn't ready. And he stops directly. Ready to wait for when Rak is.

This makes Teerak and Muenfah on the same level. Which is accentuated by their dialogue before that.

And them not being experienced makes so much sense. They both only had one relationship before each other! (Also love that they both have relationship before, once again make them on similar level). And Teerak did say he only date Mew because he wasn't able to say no. And I don't think they ever went to that point with each other.

Fah on the other hand, did seems to have love his ex very much. But he also say they weren't physically close. And the past episodes show that well. Muenfah always gay panics and is awkward whenever Teerak step into his personal space. His muscles growing weak when Teerak is too close, incapable to hold things in his hands. Contrasting Teerak who is used to that, we see him doing it with Babe, his dad, Punlee, Type, Joy, etc. Physical intimacy is something that come naturally to Teerak, not Muenfah.

And yeah, physical intimacy and sexual intimacy are different. But they are still link. One doesn't always mean the other, but they also are intricated in each other. Therefor, I think Fah either didn't do it or he did, but he definitely isn't the one leading it. And even that I don't think he did it more than twice.

Making both Teerak and Muenfah inexperienced. And I love that so much. They are on equal level and like everything in their relationship, they growing in it together. And well, learning together.

Also ThomasKong acting is amazing bc we can feel all their feelings with their eyes and body language.

Nobody even mentioned it so I almost totally missed out on how Saavik and the son she had with Spock are (live action) in the Unification short; and how one of the stated inspirations is Vulcan's Heart, in which Spock and Saavik get married (Picard attending) while working together toward the Vulcan reunification with Romulus.

There is no doubt that Bones kind of fumbled actually getting Booth and Brennan together, but y'know, six seasons and over 100 episodes of them being together and in love, buying a house, having a baby, getting married, having another baby, and being all cute and domestic goes a long way in making up for it

my toxic trait is thinking i, the best girl, could make sukuna be kind and gentle for ten minutes a day. but that’s it. once we hit minute eleven he’s back to killing, as is his right.
