pathos - chapter 18 is up

Pairing: Lucanis/Rook de Riva

AU: modern, ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating

Rating: explicit (for eventual smut)

Summary:

Rook has been skating with Viago for as long as she remembers, so when a nasty fall takes him off the ice for the foreseeable future, she figures that’s the end of her career as well. Viago has other plans for his little sister. Meanwhile, Lucanis sees an opportunity to finally leave the sport altogether when Illario steals his partner away from him, leaving him alone just months shy of the new season. Retiring isn’t quite as easy as he’d hoped though, with Caterina Dellamorte as his coach. Rook and Lucanis find each other in a reluctant alliance in the race to first place. But can that gold medal really buy off Rook’s guilt? And does Lucanis really want to quit skating when he’s finally finding his joy for the sport again?

Read chapter 18 on AO3 (In which we rewind, swing, jump, and land.)

WIP Sonichu Fic Snippet

Mephiles let out a groan of pain. Everything hurt. The corruption spreading around him seemed to act like quicksand, tendrils of it lashing out and wrapping around his crystalline limbs, trying to drag him down into the abyss.

"No... I want... TO EXIST...!"

Desperation filled his bones. The shadows coalesced around him, launching themselves outwards in an attempt to destroy the one who had brought him down yet again.

Shadow the Hedgehog let out a scoff, iridescent spears sprouting from the air behind him and slicing through the shadows with ease. As the corruption dragged Mephiles down, the black and red lifeform spoke, his voice cold and dismissive.

“There is no future for you. Ever.”

The last thing Mephiles saw was the sneer on Shadow’s face. Then the world went purple, then black, then red, then…

Shortly after I posted "Uno Reverse" @seiya-starsniper wrote a snippet in the Mr Sadman discord server. A scene in which Unity talks to Dream after receiving his new knife.

I liked it so much that I asked if I could do a lil comic inspired by it. It's on ao3 HERE!

This is for the "Hunt" prompt for Dreamling week. Because dream and hob are technically on the run.

The silly stupid alien show about ghosts that steal your cock and balls just pulled the most gut wrenching, poignant shit possible and portrayed it so artistically and meaningfully what is even life.

This was MASTERFULLY done. The visual and environmental storytelling, the subtle foreshadowing, and inject those motifs into my fucking BLOOD.

Ho. Ly shit. Good fucking lord.

Literally made an account just to vent my thoughts because DATV is beyond disappointing and actively destructive of the previous games/media in the series.

The story/lore choices made concerning what happens in the south of Thedas during DATV are devastating and a clear attempt to create a 'clean slate' for the franchise going forwards.

Spoilers to the game are mentioned going forwards -

Simply put: Ferelden, Orlais, and the Free Marches have basically been wiped clean - any previous influences that our characters may have had on these areas is wiped away by the Blight (aka BioWare) and therefore will likely not be mentioned in any games going forward.

Ferelden is basically left blighted, save for Redcliffe and small pockets of resistance in Denerim.

Ferelden, if it ever appears in the franchise again, will likely never address who rules the nation or whatever influences the Warden had on the land. The land will claw itself up from the ashes devoid of the influence we had on it.

Edit- forgot to edit in that a final missive (The Drums of War) at the end of the game has Redcliffe overrun with darkspawn and the remainders of Ferelden's people starving/fleeing to Skyhold...thanks, BioWare.

Kirkwall suffers the same fate, and what remains of its residents have fled to Starkhaven.

Kirkwall has been over-run and those who escaped are held up in Starkhaven. Whatever influence Hawke had on the lives of those within Kirkwall has been waved away and destroyed by the Blight, likely to never be mentioned again.

Orlais has been over-run outside of resistance around the area of the Winter Palace, and venatori infiltrators have made the political situation within Orlais tenuous.

Orlais has been set-up with the venatori threat for a coup to completely invalidate whatever choice of ruler was made in DAI. Whomever the Inquisitor backed will likely be assassinated, and if Orlais appears in the game again it will be with a new ruler.

As someone who has been so invested in the lore, characters, and story of the game...this is devastating. It would be one thing if the game was bad but the story contained to Tevinter, for example - but this goes beyond as it retroactively changes everything for the worse and literally wipes everything clean. The greatest appeal and strength of this series was that it felt that you shaped Thedas - I adored every little bit of dialogue or codex entry that popped up in DA2 and DAI about things that happened in previous games!

It's baffling, and honestly comes across as mean-spirited, making the decision to deliberately target the places that our characters had the most influence.

The Warden may as well have let Urthurmiel win since Ferelden appears to be utterly blighted and Denerim, the heart of its nation, is destroyed.

Nothing Hawke did ever mattered, at all - and what little mattered was never from their own agency thanks to the Executors.

The Inquisitions efforts to restore order across Thedas was all for nothing, because nothing remains of them from in-game.

Unless if Dorian pops up in a DLC with his bloody time amulet and big reset button for the game then this is world of Thedas that remains.

With each game in the series up till now I finished each game with the feeling that the world was getting bigger, more complex, and now it just feels empty, shallow, and hollow.

Also fuck the Executors.

I’m just fucking (community service sorry) laughing at the thought of Lou hiding all this time, and how the rest of the gang was on it and supported it by not posting him, and then he just popped out on all platforms on premiere day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
