#achieving family goals

If Lord of the Rings and Dune had a love child. And that child grew up to become its own independent person.

That's Wheel of Time.

For @phisworld14 who asked for:

🦇 vampire jake/human bradley - hangster x2

He doesn’t get much done that night, or even the next few. But eventually he figures out what Ice had meant by Viper not being able to help. He was one of the few ties to the supernatural community that they knew. Which meant he couldn’t use any of his connections or pull to get someone to help his mom. Either by magical means or by vampiric bite. The only two feasible options for humans to get help if modern medicine couldn't.

He probably sounds like such an idiot to Jake, he thinks disparagingly to himself. Not like he had ever sounded smart or smooth to the younger man. No matter how hard he’d tried to come off better than he was. He tries to twitch his face into a smile, though it feels more like a grimace to himself as he clears his throat.  “Anyway, I just. Wanted to apologize. I’ll. I’m gonna try not to be too much of an asshole to you for no reason. Promise.” He says haltingly. And before Jake can respond, he spins on his heel, shoulders hunching as he berates himself for being a dumbass as he speed walks away from the other man.

love how ludger rejecting divinity means so fuckin little because even if he is not a "proper" god hes still the most op and successful character in the entire multiverse

[randomnameless]

Regarding to the negative character development in Nopes. How do you consider Supreme leader's route to be worse than the original route? I wanna know your thoughts on her character and the route itself.

You mean on Supreme Bullshit?

I prefer her in CF - even if we have the "lel professor Supreme Leader was mourning you for 5 years while you were absent (and no one conveniently thought to explore that damn ravine where you fell to see if maybe you were still alive) but now that you've returned we can maybe stop being in a stalemate against Faerghus and finally roll over Derdriu!" pandering shit, because even if it came with wonderful Supreme One Liners and Replies, in CF, Supreme Leader kills her enemies herself!

Sure it comes at the cost of the most badass Shonen Explosion I've ever seen in the FE Series, and yet, for her, that explosion meant her role was ultimately reduced to the role of a mosquito : sure it's annoying and you want to smash it, but when you look around to find someone/something to smash it, you happen on an agressive venomous snake, who cares about the mosquito now?

We know how fandom is about Supreme Leader and her actions and her uwu agency - in Supreme Bullshit, we're left in the vague about what her MAGA plans entails because she doesn't finish her quest - Nopes ends before the epilogue - and it's almost as if the Nopes!devs didn't want her to deal final blows herself, or have her hands be "as clean" as possible as the ones who are erased are either peons or secondary/tertiary characters : Supreme Leader isn't the one who splits Rhea's head open in this route, Rhea and Thales take each other out, heck, she doesn't want to liberate Fodlan from inhuman monsters anymore, it's Claude who parrots to whoever wants to listen that Rhea has to die (and yet, Supreme Leader still wants to make Garreg Mach Rhea's tomb... maybe it's a considerate gesture on her part, to have her reunite with her family?) Speaking of him if conditions are reunited, he "forces her" to kill him, because he betrays her first :'(

In CF, Supreme Leader - when she finally has the means (aka Billy!) to do so - attacks all of her enemies, even turning against the Agarthans (rip cornelia?) and it's only because the plot is held by duct tape and chewing-gum that she somehow avoids retaliation because Uncle is too stupid and wasted his nukes on Arianrhod instead of nuking Firdhiad when both Supreme Leader and Rhea would be there !

However, the facts still stand : Supreme Leader dealt a blow at the Agarthans, ended the Nabatean presence in Fodlan, personally erased Faerghus' line of Kings and conquered the Alliance.

Sure she tells Balthus she will crush everyone who doesn't side with her, but when it comes to Lords/Main antagonists... when CF had her swing Aymr - even against defeated characters who fell on their knees and aren't fighting anymore - SB brings out convoluted circumstances to either has her fight because she is attacked and thus on the defensive (which is rich when she's supposed to be the invader!) by an ally whose motivation never made sense but who is now suddenly betraying her and all of his former allies who joined with her (GG Clout) or... Rhea gets her Big Damn Hero moment, fulfilling the initial promise/oath she swore on that route (help humans to get rid of Agarthans) and supposedly dies in the process, while Supreme Leader - the oathbreaker - pulls out her best impression of Tuxedo Mask "my job here is done - but you didn't do a thing" ending on a High Five.

Imo it's very telling that the only main character who can be alive at the end of SB is Dimitri - because he is the character Supreme Leader wants dead at all costs, and if the Nopes!Devs wrote Zarhofl as they did, I wonder how they could and might have justified a metting between the two that doesn't end up in Supreme Leader Aymr'ing him (maybe Cornelia would have conviently warped there and stabbed him to death, so her hands would still be "clean" ?).

In short, I prefer CF!Supreme Leader (or her FE16 version sans the pandering) because she is determinate and wants to achieve her goals, even if she has to be ruthless to do so - and we see that ruthlessness (even if it's poorly executed) in CF, Supreme Leader kills named and main characters to MAGA (and to free humanity from those vile subhumans).

In SB, she is always... put in situations where she "has to" protect herself from either backstabbing allies, or, when push comes to shove, her enemies are conveniently at the same place at the same time and take each other out : FFS, it's Rhea who takes out the leader of the Agarthans, and it's Thales who removes Nabateans from Fodlan. What is all that determination good for if, in the end, she's not the one solving the issues?

Oh, and because I'm petty like that : why the fuck the sailor fuku, seriously - sure her red dress (the one from her legendary version!) isn't as, uh, battle compatible as, say, Queen Elincia's battle outfit, and yet there's something really disturbing about the Sailor Fuku. Supreme Leader is regal, commanding, even with the red dress. Her final outfit (Willy's armor retrofitted with boobplates?) is, well, a full suit of armor, Supreme Leader is a warrior and leading her troops to victory, she will battle and fight herself even in melee.

The Sailor Fuku is... just some generic Anime design, I know she has a plate but come on, comparing this to her Emperor battlesuit, it's almost as if we're not in the same genre anymore - it's war phase now, Supreme Leader is dead serious about her plans and her ambition, she's not the "school girl who will also go to war!" - compare the three outfits, which one doesn't scream "Emperor" to you?

So yeah, short (short) story : while I like SB for Shonen explosions and more exposition about Adrestia, imo, this route is worse for Supreme Leader's agency than any other route in FE16 (AG takes the cake in its last part though!) because while she has it, in the end, she doesn't do a thing with it :

MAGA? Dimitri cannot be killed in the game, she leaves the task to Clout who doesn't do it and worse, who can betray her :( so she has to kill him :(

Frre Humanity from the sekrit nabatean illuminati and the agarthan terrorists? She just kicks them from their homes (Agarthans managed to infiltrate Adrestia, she kicks them out of her land) and they managed to take each other out.

Sure, she knows how to highfive at the end of this route, but was it really worth all those sacrifices, aka, to get rid of conqueror and determinate!Supreme Leader to have instead sailor fuku!Supreme Leader who knows how to highfive?

I know they're not meant to be compared because different circumstances and all, but can you imagine a second, a Jugdral spin-off AU much like Nopes is, where Arvis wears a high school uniform but Siggy, Manfroy and Travant accidently kill each other so he gets the continent on a silver platter without having to do any fighting or planning himself?

That's Supreme Bullshit for Supreme Leader, and that's why I think this route doesn't paint her in the best light, especially compared to her FE16 version.

[basedandlovepilled]

i've invested such a huge piece of myself into my family and becoming what they wanted me to be that when they inevitably abandoned and betrayed me it just broke off that half of myself i think. and i just have to keep reminding myself i have to just look forward and make something new instead of trying to reclaim what i was in the past but like.. i still feel like i'm abandoning and betraying myself over and over again. should i fight to take back what i lost? should i just forget about it and move on?

i just have no idea how to even begin finding out how to be a person now that i've uprooted myself completely and shattered all the illusions that i believed and defended so strongly... idk man i'm just blowing around in the breeze rn. trying to just embrace it but every day that passes i feel like i'm running out of time

How to Set Meaningful Family Goals: Strengthen Bonds and Create a Shared Vision

Is your family stuck in the routine of daily life, with everyone focused on their own activities, but without a sense of shared purpose? Many families struggle with a lack of direction and often feel disconnected due to busy schedules. Setting family goals can be the key to bringing everyone together, creating a deeper sense of unity, and giving your family a clear sense of direction.  In this…

[wayfinderships]

AUUUUUUGH! I miss my little guy your honor!! I miss him so damn much!!!

[roumainzzzz]

There are women who thrive being a housewife. Enjoying all the time that she has pursuing passions in life whilst being in the sanctity of marriage. However I could see that women in my lineage are ambitious. We don't want to settle being at home all day, being the caretaker, and serving our family. What's worse is that its something you can't take a day off of. We wanted to pursue our own careers, put ourselves out there, and have the avenue to make our own money. And failing to accomplish this not only bring intense anguish to the women long-term, but it also affects them in their day-to-day life. These are the women, in my observation, that becomes bitter as they enter old age.

So lesson learned as a 5th gen, is to strive hard and accomplish dreams previous women in my lineage weren't able to fulfill. And if success ever bless me in my journey, I am not the only one succeeding, but also to the women who came before me. My journey is for all of you. To pave the path of not only for myself, but also for the future generations to come.

** For now, I'm thinking just for this weekend! BUT I think I'm gonna start doing a weekend ask, for a select number of my WIPS, that way I make progress but don't overwhelm myself and burnout! 💛💛💛

🦇 vampire jake/human bradley - hangster

Bradley knows he’s not supposed to be hearing this conversation. Knows he’s definitely not meant to be hearing everything he is. But it’s not like he planned to stumble across his mom and uncles and overhear how she’s apparently dying and there’s nothing the three can do about it. “Should we tell him? Bradley?” Mav asks. Though Bradley can tell he’s trying to keep himself quiet. “No, no let him live in a world where his mom isn’t dying for now,” Carole answers quietly. “And you're sure Viper can’t do anything to help us set up an appointment to get Carole considered?” Ice inquires. Though from the hard edge to his soft voice, Bradley knows from experience it’s a question he’s already asked and gotten an answer for that he didn’t like.

🐺 shifter au - hangster

“You gonna be fight me every step o’ the way?” Jake asks, though he knows he doesn’t really have too. He already knows Bradley is not going to come along nicely as Jake does his best to court the other shifter. Knows the man will only go along kicking and screaming and swinging. Like he doesn’t know how to let himself be treated gently. Like he doesn’t know how to let himself be loved like he deserves. Like he thinks all he’s good for is to be used and discarded.

continuing directly from where I stopped in this ask!

Clearing his throat again, he finally lifts his gaze to lock onto Javy and flinches back at the bewildered look on the other man’s face as he continues to assure him Bradley won’t let himself be a problem for Jake. Even if it means shattering his heart for real. “Really. Wish-wish him nothing but happiness and all that shit,” he rasps out around the lump in his throat. “Knew I wasn’t it, knew I was just a bump in the road for someone like him. So-so I’m happy for him. Sure his family’s thrilled he’s dating up instead of slummin’ it with guys like me,” he tries to joke. Though he knows it falls flat if the look on Javy’s face is anything to go by.
