#On The Corner Where You Live

[d8tl55c]

hey wait a minute

so it's the start of AvA part 7 and Chosen and Dark are talking, right? and the former has this vision of terrible things happening if they don't stop the latter, right here and now.

they see the ViraBots descending on the last remnants of stick kind with Dark as their leader (or Lord if you will. ha ha) and i, trusting viewer, took their assessment as reliable*. we JUST saw Dark getting uncomfortably violent in earlier scenes after all

but

however

notwithstanding

unless Chosen has demonstrable prophetic powers (like how Orange has** in the past seen things currently happening (horizontally-prophetic let's call it: seeing faraway in the current time) (there's probably a better word for this but let's move on)), how did they know this was definitely what Dark was leading up to?

** ⬆ examples of Orange horizontally-prophesizing in AvM episode 11, SkyBlock (unconfirmed but referenced as, "uh? well maybe??? maybe i didn't think about it yet-" (abridged quote from AvG react video)) (op will die /j /extremely pos if this is used again in AvA 11 (HAH they'd both be episode 11 (op just giggled maniacally)))

Dark doesn't even have his control bracelets on.

because Chosen didn't know about them yet.

because this is not a prophetic vision.

Chosen is just that... reactive. what was it. @compressedrage (hi o/ ) had a good wording let me find it. yeah i guess it was reactionary

the ONLY time we've seen them stop to think things through is actually just a terrified anxiety breakdown while they stand there, frozen, imagining the worst, until they snap out of it JUST in time to impact their reality.

but with no time left for debate. reasoning. they assumed Dark was beyond reasoning from the moment he showed off what his device could do............. because they were beyond reasoning out of fear.

wait guys actually! I have a great idea! Instead of feeling bad for reblogging our own art why don't we do a thing where we reblog older pieces/art that didn't get much attention/whatever you want and give commentary on it! Talk about what was fun to draw, what was hard, any interesting stories surrounding the making of it! Behind the scenes! pls guys that would be so fun to read I would LOVE to see that let's do it!

Genuinely my favorite thing is seeing love on my dash.

Doesn't matter what kind.

Love for a show, love for fictional characters, love for a special interest, love for each other.

Doesn't matter if I don't even know what or who you're talking about.

It's just... something or somebody makes you so happy you can't keep it to yourself and you want to share it with everybody on this silly website, and others add onto that love, and it just keeps on growing?

Yeah. That's what I'm after.

Interactive - Favorite Burp Scenario

I need something to take my mind off the fact that we are home to the dumbest, most bigoted fucking assholes on this planet, and I feel like a lot of you probably feel the same way right now. So, how about another interactive game? Send me character requests via my askbox here and I will respond with my favorite burp scenario to imagine for them. (Note, ideally, keep it to characters I know or that you think I may know)

[immediatebreakfast]

It exploded, everything, the house of glass went down with a single mistake, and the fury of a monster of a man who deems himself to be the all end of death for the young condemned he chooses.

Poor, poor Lucy, all alone in a house where no one can hear her cry. She was so happy to feel better again, so joyful to finally sleep without worries for the flapping against her window, so thankful for the flowers, and for the people surrounding her. Lucy may be alone at the moment, but she is so so loved, and what does this girl gets after so many suffering nights?

I write this and leave it to be seen, so that no one may by any chance get into trouble through me. This is an exact record of what took place to-night. I feel I am dying of weakness, and have barely strength to write, but it must be done if I die in the doing. as I feared to be alone, I opened my door and called out: "Is there anybody there?" There was no answer.

A tragedy plucked straight out of Lucy's most heart locked nightmares.

She is alone, so utterly alone, with no doctors to call for, nor flowers to breathe, she unintentionally commited the worst thing that anyone can do against Dracula. Lucy defied him in that single moment, in that moment by the window when she stared at the bat without a shred of fear. For the Count who gleefully thrives; textually and thematically, when his victims are shaken with pure human fright, seeing Lucy alive and well to the point of looking at his form without terror was the last straw for him.

Let me reiterate that, this man who has become a monster untouched by time itself decided to stage the worst assault possible towards the girl he has been torturing for weeks, because she looked at him without fear in her eyes.

The time did not seem long, but very, very awful, till I recovered consciousness again. Somewhere near, a passing bell was tolling; the dogs all round the neighbourhood were howling; and in our shrubbery, seemingly just outside, a nightingale was singing.

Lucy's mother is dead, her garlic flowers are torn, the house where she lies has no name, the maids are unconscious, the dogs are coming, the wolf is howling, the specks are mocking her, the nightingale calls her to the light.

My dear mother gone! It is time that I go too. Good-bye, dear Arthur, if I should not survive this night. God keep you, dear, and God help me!

Please Lucy don't climb the willow tree, don't fall into the brook! Lucy your life is up ahead just look up! DON'T GO.

Tell me all about it, dear; tell me all about everything, for there is nothing which interests you which will not be dear to me.

Mina... who are you writing to?

Me upon discovering that the Regeneradors not only don’t “die” when I take out their weak points but level up into an even worse monster:

[arlathen]

something ive noticed i guess about rook is what sets them apart from the other dragon age protagonists and that is that they aren't changed by the plot. they can go home when it's done.

the warden -- well, they become a grey warden and join this order of warriors. they have 30 years left to live and obligations. they cannot go back to how they were living before the game started.

hawke starts the game with their home in lothering being destroyed and ends the game with their home in kirkwall being destroyed. they can't go back to either.

the inquisitor is thrust into this title, thrust into leading this organization, and there's this narrative undercurrent of no matter who they were or what they believe, it's forfeit -- they're the inquisitor and they'll never be allowed to truly put that name down.

but rook -- like, they set out to do a thing and they do the thing and barring the worst ending where they're the one in the fade with solas, like. they can go home. they can go back to taking contracts for the crows or move back into the necropolis to continue doing Corpse Stuff. I'm not really making a critique here, just observing.

every time i see someone shit on the xianzhou story quest on twitter i die a little bit inside.

[tumblweeds-omegaverse]

random omegaverse thought:

There must be people who experience specific instinct things with indifference or boredom.

Procreative cycle coming up? "Crap, I've got plans this weekend...stupid skip weeks."

Caught an intriguing scent while walking? "But I need to get to work! Shut up brain."

Had a snap response to a distressed sound? "Who was it?! ...right, it's my day off, I can go back to sleep."

Somebody growled at them? "Kid, I'm not a rival, that's my sibling."

Super cozy cuddle session happening nearby? "I'm gonna pass tonight guys, no social battery left, maybe next time."

Group of friends heading out to flirt and check out other singles? "I'm coming with you but only to make sure you all get home safe."

Setting where fated mates or soul bonds or permanent marks are a thing? "Meh. I don't really want one or care if I ever get one."

People in the actual omegaverse would get as bored of their stuff, as we do of ours, you know? It could be interesting to see that kind of vibe in fics. Biological demands faced with all the excitement of paying bills or doing laundry or tying your shoes.

Even if that kind of energy might not drive a plot, it could be interesting to have as a contrast to the people who do have big feelings about them - good or bad.

There's the friends who can't wait til they have a pack of their own, and the one friend who isn't against it but couldn't care less. There's the group in the office who are all about scent compatibility tests and figuring out one's best match and what sprays most highlight it, and the coworker who has no intentions on putting that much effort in. There are parents who hover and protect their offspring by scenting them multiple times a day, and others who don't see what the fuss is as long as it's done in the morning.

...also: packs with introverts who show care by giving each other space. So often, closeness is depicted through physical touch and tactile affection, but comfortable silence is meaningful too. Knowing people are near, but not having to interact until you're ready. Sitting in the same room doing different things, knowing that all it takes is a "hey, look at this" to share what you're up to. People understanding and accepting each other's differing or fluctuating needs for how and when to recharge. Seeing somebody reaching out or sharing space, beyond what's their norm, as a signal of the fact that they care.

in MDZS the novel, the innkeeper in Yunping mentions that people are too scared to go petition Yunmeng Jiang for help because someone once walked in on Sect Leader Jiang whipping a guy in the main hall, supposedly because the guy was a demonic cultivator.

Happy (late) Byler Day!

Since my first piece of fan art I ever posted for ST was my Jancy/Byler Titanic AU, why not make some fan art for another Byler Titanic AU?

I decided to do some sketchs of @cherbearsz Titanic AU designs because I think they are really cool. I did come up with my own idea for Mike’s evening wear based on the red dress Rose wears when she has dinner with Jack and also because I’m a fashion history nerd and had the internal urge to put him in an evening tux (pretend the bow tie and waist coat is red and not blue).

Again, Happy late Byler Day!

[chompe-diem]
