If Anne had never been adopted, Cole would've never met her. He wouldn't have had a single friend at the school, he wouldn't be asked to help she and Diana go to Aunt Jo's soiree, he wouldn't get to eventually live with Aunt Jo, and he would've never escaped his family's farm.

She's the best thing that's ever happened to him.

what's the threshold theory

There was a post about how Tom is the only crew member who isn't really affected by the Borg, and there's a theory that he has so much luck because he saw the past and the future when he crossed the transwarp threshold. He saw the past and the future, all of time and space. There's some subconscious part of him that remembers that experience. In fact, Tom refused to play a part in Chakotay indulging Annorax's temporal incursions, probably because a part of him knew nothing good could come of it.

If we extend that same theory to Janeway, some of her wild luck with time travel and other crack plans starts to make sense. She doesn't verbally hate time travel until after the events of Threshold, since it happens in Time and Again without complaint. Janeway has an uncanny knack for time travel, as evidenced every time she deals with it. She hates time travel, but it might be because part of her knows exactly how to manipulate the timeline. She manages to avoid the "inevitable" temporal explosion in Future's End, saving both Voyager and Braxton. She resets the entire timeline in Year of Hell, and no one else followed her reasoning. She pulled it off flawlessly. In Relativity, she senses the incidents are all related, despite it being just one reading that connects them. By the time she's involved, she has a temporal incursion factor of .0036 and a time travel protocol named after her, even if that may just be Braxton's personal grudge. Then there's Endgame, where she intentionally changes the timeline. Up until this point, she has been dragged into time travel, but for the first time, she jumps in on purpose. How does Admiral Janeway know how to get them home sooner in a way that completely avoids the Temporal Integrity Commission? It's because she has seen all of time, and part of her knows exactly what needs to happen so she can get Voyager home and do it in a way that becomes baked into the prime timeline. Maybe she doesn't consciously remember what happened during her transformation, but the experience lives in her mind somewhere, guiding her decisions.

Dragon's Dogma 2: Main Pawn - Affinity

As it turns out, your Main Pawn can be befriended by/"fall in love" with your Arisen (the Main Character).

Pictured below: my Main Pawn fawning, aka: the blushy boy

(i play on the lowest settings to save frames, bear with me)

Look at this dork! :'D

I accidentally got him in this state by spending waaay too much gold on him at the Clovis's Barberie (the hairstylist), but you can also gain affinity with your Pawn by:

high-fiving them after fights, spending time with them by drinking at the taverns (beer mug icon on the map), waving at them every-so-often ("hail" interaction) and talking with them from time to time (small talk/matters of import)

So - by treating Pawns like real people, they can become more… human?

...and fall in love?

OW MY HEART

He truly became a Phoenix just like he praised Ethan, but at what cost?

Was rewatching another scene and these lines stuck out to me.

[comfortless]

the way that you characterize König in every headcanons post makes him seem like a real human being??? and i can not express to you how good that is to me. he’s NOT a sex god or some 10/10 male model. he’s just some dude who’s been broken and still fixing himself in his own way. your Frankenstein’s monster work is so special because I feel like that is the perfect metaphor for him.

i find it very difficult to enjoy a lot of König works even though i write for him too, simply because when it comes to him there is never any eroticism or thought put behind his character. it is always ‘big man fuck good’ send post. can not thank you enough for sharing your view of him, it’s so good!!

we all know kneelingshadowsalome is doing the lord’s work with him but thank god you are too. 🙏there are so many 141 professors, but as far as König goes I’m only reading y’all’s works. i would smooch you both, give you my first born, my entire bank account no questions asked. like when the writing and characterization is so good, it is impossible not to fall head over heels for a creator, and babes i’m already planning our joint wedding.

have a lovely day, Syl!

where is that gif of the kitten shaking until it becomes so compressed it’s impossible to tell what it even is…? that’s what receiving this message made me feel like.

NEW CHAPTER! NEW CHAPTER’S OUT!

Chapter 3: My Heart is Overflowing

(A1 Chunsik experiences emotions. Mostly joy and wonder)

The little egg was thinking about a lot;

It would be living outside of the Federation’s walls once it left this small house,

It would be living in the care of a new guardian instead of in a cell devoid of literally anything,

and most importantly-

“Chunsik!”

A1 Chunsik was given a new name.

Acau was calling out for his new egg. By the looks of it, Quackity was going to be bringing him to someplace else outside of the house the egg was currently in.

So Chunsik followed its new caretaker, and in doing so, the egg gets its first look into the outside world.

The house it was in was surrounded by a stone wall with a large entrance that gave way to a small rock pathway, alongside a small garden that contained a plethora of different flowers including a peony and a rose bush. A plentiful amount of trees were strewn around the area, which were placed beyond the walls that were bordering the house.

The sky was brightly blue. And despite all the clouds that were scattered amongst it, the sun still shined on the little Korean egg.

After a life spent locked within a Federation facility that was practically devoid of any colours, this was a sight to behold for Chunsik.

Hopefully it won’t have to go back to that wretched place now that it’s in Acau’s care.

Whilst Chunsik was admiring its new surroundings, Quackity asked Acau another question. “So people are asking; is it a boy or a girl?”

The Korean egg remembers the Federation workers using the words including “it” and “its” whenever they were referring it back when it was still A1. Something about how they used those words when talking about it felt wrong to Chunsik back then.

The egg looked at Acau as he was pondering up an answer to the question given to him, eventually answering Quackity after a couple seconds.

“Chunsik is a man.”

Chunsik was happy over this, bouncing out of joy whilst Quackity responded to Acau’s answer. “Oh! A- a guy?”

“Mhm”

“Okay, a boy.”

Acau repeated what Quackity said, glancing at Chunsik as he spoke in English, with a smile on his face, “Boy.”

Chunsik bounced out of joy again over what Acau said. By the looks of it, its his new caretaker doesn’t seem to be fluent in English, but it also means that the Korean lessons he was taught in the past won’t be going to waste.

———

All the plants and decor scattered around the area Chunsik was walking through were beautiful. He didn’t even notice whatever Quackity and Acau were talking about on their way to the big building Quackity was bringing Acau and him to.

There were other people in the building to by the sound of it, but he paid no attention to them. He mostly clung to Acau and Quackity since everyone else there was practically a stranger to him.

Presumably, Quackity was teaching Acau about these “quests”, and about some kind of money system that the island was running on.

As Quackity brought him and Acau to what looked like the center of the building they were in, people started to notice Chunsik’s presence.

He wasn’t sure how people would perceive him, and he slowly crouched into a corner, but his worries went away when he saw another egg.

Unlike him, this egg had a large crack on her face, and she wore a beanie with purple stripes of different tints, and had black hair. Her name was Lullah.

She placed a sign to greet Chunsik, “Good morning little eggo.”

Lullah was accompanied by another man. He had blonde hair, and wore a striped green & white hat, with a black haori that covered a dark green samue, alongside wooden sandals, and large crow wings that were sprouting from his back. This man was Philza.

Similarly to Lullah, Phil greeted him, sounding delighted over the sight of him, “AWWWW. Hello!“

Chunsik quickly wrote a greeting on his sign, and bowed after finishing it. “Hello!”

Philza read the sign, quickly replying. “Hi little guy! Hello, how are you? Oh, that’s a cool pose you’re doing.”

Another egg appeared next to Lullah, writing on her sign to also greet him. Unlike Lullah, this egg didn’t have any cracks or hair, but she did have a hat that was slightly tilted on her head and funnily enough, looked like a stack of pancakes. Her name was Empanada.

She was excited to meet him, something easily seen in what she wrote on her sign, “OMG HII.”

Chunsik was bouncing out of joy over meeting people that didn’t seem to have cruel intentions with him, and Empanada similarly bounced to mimic him. He started writing on another sign to greet Empanada, “Hello! I like your pancake hat!”

Other eggs and people started to crowd around him; one of the eggs had a duck floatie wrapped around his body and another one had a red baseball hat that was placed backwards on top of her head.

Whilst Chunsik was writing his greeting to Empanada, Philza asked him a question,

“What is your name little eggo? How do I say your name?”

Chunsik quickly started to write him an answer on yet another sign as more and more people and eggs started to notice him in the area they were all in.

He eventually finished his sign, finally introducing himself to everyone that was there, “My name is Chun-sik. It means… ‘Worker’.”

Philza laughed over learning what his name translated to. Alongside that, a large amount of people and eggs were all surrounding him.

In comparison to back during his time in the Federation’s custody, something about this felt more… comforting.

None of the people here sounded like they wanted to hurt or berate him. The egg with the duck floatie even greeted him in Korean! His name was Chayanne

And Chunsik greeted him back in English, “Hello Chayanne!”

Everyone there started to talk to and about him, but at the same time, none of it was insulting. He even spotted another egg too! And they had sunglasses!

“Did Acau name you?”

“AWWWWW.”

“Oh! I see the little egg! Oh my god, it’s so cuuuute!”

“Hello.”

“Hello!

“Helllooooo!”

“Acau, they’re all meeting your new son!”

“It’s pixels. It’s pixels.”

“Did you just say ‘it’s pixels. it’s pixels’?’

“Oh, you’re so damn cute.”

“If you need food or protection let me know.”

“I like the hat!”

“It is nice to meet you.”

It was all simultaneously overwhelming and comforting. But right as he was starting to take it all in, one of the eggs started to punch him in what seemed to be a playful manner, so Chunsik playfully punched back.

The egg wore an oversized yellow and green jersey with a mooshroom hat, and quickly placed down a sign to greet Chunsik. Their name was Richarlyson.

The Korean egg also place down a sign and greeted him, “Hello! I like the cow hat!”

Richarlyson placed down two signs to greet Chunsik, one of which was even in Korean, “CHUNSIK! You can trust me with anything!!“

Chunsik quickly replied to them with a sign of his own, also replying in Korean, “Yes, I got it!“

It was all sweet, cosy, and heartwarming. Chunsik never experienced this much joy over being surrounded by loads of people before.

Hopefully, this wouldn’t be the last time it happens.

…

But amidst all the solace, Chunsik noticed something.

Where did Acau go? Wasn’t Quackity showing him the ATM machine a couple of minutes ago?

Did he abandon him?

Where the Daylight Begins - Chapter Nine

A modern AU featuring a pining Ed, a clueless Stede, found family, roughly a million animals, and a very magical house. I hope it makes you feel like you are being wrapped up in a big, gay hug. Written as a follow up to The Merry Strays of Lighthouse Sanctuary, but it’s not strictly necessary to read that first. Read the most recent chapter here, or start from the beginning here.

My forever thank you to @margotandthefox and @monksofthescrew as always for their feedback, and a special shout out to @blakbonnet truly saved this chapter. And once again thank you to @haflacky for the beautiful art.

~*~

Ed took the storm with him when he left.

He felt like a man cast adrift at sea in a rickety dinghy in the midst of a typhoon. All around him Mother Nature raged. This is what you left behind, she seemed to scream. You hid amongst the flowers, drank tea by the pond, but this is the world in which you belong.

Brutal. Ugly. Merciless.
