#and I'm enjoying it immensely

TFW you're deeply exhausted, covered head to toe in COPIOUS amounts of rancid goblin blood, guts, and miscellaneous viscera, but babe chose this exact moment to tell you that he was kind of groomed by a goddess

Side note, love the persistent gore in this game- we just wrecked so much havoc that my boy's hair and beard are literally dyed red

It's supposed to be black

So I'm reading this book, Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth.

It's a book about a (horror) movie being made based on a book written about creepy happenings in the 1900's as a result of a book

And I can't help but think: "imagine if they made a movie about this book about a movie based on a book inspired by a book"

And now I'm imaging creepy things happening while filming the movie based on this book... and that inspiring a book based on the movie of a book about a movie being made from a book about a book... etc, etc...

Like, the inception possibilities here are endless

... also I need sleep

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

So, I started watching Link Click...

[drulalovescas]

Listen. I know we don't need any confirmation from the actor. Or director. Or the writer. And we don't need the media calling the confession romantic. But. Even though I know we don't need their validation. I actually love that we get the actor man confirming that we'd get balls deep destiel if not for the network's homophobia. And I adore when the director says "Castiel's coming out". And I'm ecstatic when the writer admits he was asked to bury the subtext deeper. I'm fucking gloating when the media call the confession romantic and boldly claim Castiel should've been Dean Winchester's lover. Because even though we knew. Even though the text was there. And even though the show ended 4 years ago so what does it matter??? It matters. And it's about damn time. And I'm waiting for more.

And that is how the magic happened.

Writing out my preferred way the battle at Rook's Rest should have gone because why not.

The beginning mostly stays the same. Criston signals for Aemond and Vhagar, but Sunfyre arrives first. Aemond sees him fly overhead and is pissed, but he doesn't wait to follow him into battle because he's not an idiot and as much as he wants the crown, he's aware of the intensity of the blow losing Aegon would be to their cause.

Still, Vhagar is slow and has to launch herself off the ground, so Aegon gets their first and has an initial fight with Meleys but Vhagar's quick arrival keeps Sunfyre's injuries from being quite so intense. The two of them attack Meleys side by side, but due to her speed and Rhaenys's expertise, she manages to keep evading them with fairly light damage.

Meleys takes off high into the clouds and Aemond and Aegon follow her. No one can see them from below. Aegon urges Sunfyre to engage directly with Meleys and the two dragons become locked together. Instead of intervening this time, Aemond simply watches as Sunfyre is injured and Aegon cries out for his help. Aemond only watches.

We can see the anger in his eyes. It would be so easy to allow Meleys to kill Aegon and Sunfyre. He could say he did his best, but that Aegon refused to battle carefully. He would be honored after he died and Aemond would become king. Aegon doesn't notice the inaction, too focused on saving Sunfyre and himself. In a desperate move, Aegon unclips one of his restraints to grab the dagger at his side and drives it into Meleys's eye as Rhaenys screams in shock and fury.

Meleys wails and lets go of Sunfyre, dropping out of view. Aegon is triumphant and turns to his brother with a smile. Aemond isn't smiling. We watch as he follows Meleys's descent and decides he's safe for now. He returns his attention to Aegon. It would be so easy to do the deed himself and blame Meleys. He contemplates it only for a split second, but Aegon's face goes from smiling to horror. We think he's understood what Aemond plans to do, but in fact, his eyes are fixed on a sight behind him. Meleys has darted up from behind, mouth open and poised to burn Aemond in his saddle.

Aegon doesn't hesitate. He urges Sunfyre forward and as Meleys breathes out a wall of fire, he throws himself and Sunfyre in front of it to protect Aemond from the blast. Before Aemond can react, Meleys sinks her claws into Sunfyre's chest and pulls him out of sight.

Aemond pursues, but it's too late. Meleys has bit into Sunfyre's wing and Aegon can barely stay in the saddle with his one remaining restraint. Meleys rips her head back breaking off part of Sunfyre's wing and the king and his dragon fall through the air, landing in the forest.

Similarly to the show, Aemond is able to defeat Rhaenys and Meleys on his own after Aegon's fall.

Later on, we learn the only reason Aegon was able to survive was the one remaining restraint held him to the saddle but allowed him to slide off to the side enough to evade some of the dragonfire. He's still burned and in pain. He sacrificed himself for his brother and Aemond can't betray him now. Not when he owes his brother a life debt, not when he's seen how deeply Aegon loves him. He becomes Prince Regent and reconciles himself to forever protecting his brother from this point forward.

i made a poll for this fic a little while back and

[rowarn]

OMGOMG RO childhood best friends w soap and as you get older he's always super flirty but you're used to him being like that so you don't think anything of it until one day he sees someone else being touchy w you and he can't stand it anymore and he just lets all of his feelings out finally because he can't stand the thought of someone else having you AHHHHHH OR OR childhood friends w simon and you've always liked him but he's never showed any romantic interest (he's scared of losing you if he does) until you got with a really shitty partner and he pulls the "break up with them and get with me, i could do better" AHHHH

soaps the kind of idiot who brings someone home hitting u with the "this is my fiance (-:" and ur just sitting at the dinner table with his family fighting tears because ur so fuckin in love with him that it HURTS and then u start dating someone and soap is like wtf why do i not like that......and u barely even like ur bf u just want to get over soap and maybe maybe maybe make him jealous????? soap is a an ace at hiding his emotions tho so u think you've failed but he actually is jealous....and then everything comes crashing down when his fiancé cheats and u have to pick up the pieces </3

AND SIMON!!!!!!! simon is the type who will not let anyone who does not pass an interrogation NEAR U. all ur past relationships failed bc of him they always think you're in love with each other (you are) but you swear ur not (ur a fucking liar). and simon who makes sure u never ever ever ever clock that he has feelings for you and if you ever express that you may have feelings for him he gets MEAN and breaks ur heart and then realizes he can't fucking stay away and he doesn't want to torment you or him anymore by him being fuckinf scared so he shows up at your doorstep when u have a...ahem.......friend over....and all hell breaks loose <3

okay punk hazard was a bit shorter than I expected but still fun. and my two favorite things wrt zolu in this arc were:

1) getting to see a lil bit more of luffy and zoro as a chaotic, ride or die duo

zoro claiming he can just slice a whole ass dragon in half, luffy having absolutely no doubt that he can do it and actively encouraging him with a bit of help of his own, then both of them talking mid air about how tasty it looks/how to cook it? peak crazy dumbass x crazy dumbass behavior.

it was also cute and funny how robin immediately (correctly) assumed zoro would carry luffy across the water and that, well, it kinda ended up happening as it was zoro holding onto luffy when they fell in.

2) THIS ENTIRE PAGE

(this is gonna get a bit long oops)

the thing about zoro is that he can be a big softie. he cares a lot more than ppl might think at first glance, and he worries. especially where luffy's concerned, even if his words can seem harsh at times. for all that zoro definitely trusts luffy's strength and believes in him, he worries for luffy's safety anyway. one example of this is back in alabasta when sanji points out that zoro was worried luffy might lose to crocodile despite having agreed with luffy's decision to stay behind and confront him alone.

zoro's also very aware that luffy's not really infallible, that he's got shortcomings and weaknesses of his own. but that's not an issue per se - because zoro's willing to make up for them, for luffy's sake. like in thriller bark, when he leads and convinces the crew to protect luffy's shadow and to believe that luffy would take care of everything else:

on top of that, zoro takes luffy, the crew and his own role in it very seriously and something he expects from them and from luffy, especially, is to do the same. this is clearly seen back in water 7/enies lobby when zoro refuses to accept usopp back into their group unless he genuinely apologizes first and even threatens to leave if luffy doesn't square up to be/act like the captain he is. because luffy's the captain, they rely on him and he's responsible for the crew in turn. more so since, as zoro reminds him, they aren't playing at being pirates. at this point in the story, they've gone through different adventures together, fought and risked their lives each time as well.

aaand to go back to thriller bark for a bit, zoro's also the one person in the crew who has first hand experience with the kind of pain that luffy endures for other ppl's sake. all in all, zoro truly cares about luffy, so much that he's willing to put his dreams and life aside to protect him, and by extension, the rest of the straw hats too. part of that care includes not only sacrifices like the one on thriller bark, but also anchoring luffy and setting him on the right path if needed. that scene from punk hazard? an example and byproduct of all this.

though I gotta say, perhaps what I like the most is that luffy... actually listens to zoro whenever these important moments happen. those two share a single braincell and are usually on a similar (or the same) goofy wavelength most of the time, and zoro is often one of luffy's enablers, so you can see that when zoro goes off at him for real like in water 7 or at punk hazard, luffy is surprised at first. but he listens. and in punk hazard, apologizes and reassures zoro that he won't be careless again. it's a bit of a subtle but compelling part of their dynamic, that does well to emphasize the equal footing and reciprocal nature of their relationship. it's not zoro following along blindly, nor is it luffy just being an idiot and receiving undeserved loyalty. it's really good honestly.

Anyway the problem I'm having now is that warden and vega clearly want to smooch post-vega-splattered-across-the-nearest-concrete-wall and the fact that they didn't (correct me if I'm wrong) smooch beforehand then there's all this unspoken attraction and Yearning™️ that could have culminated into something with a label before they first interacted with Hush

but Vega's memories have holes in it now

with a beautiful delicious slow burn that could almost rival avior and starlight, warden and vega now have the time and space to deal with it while simultaneously pursuing plotline A. Vega, the action-oriented half that tries to focus on the Task while trying not to feel guilty that Warden sometimes searches his face for the "original" Vega. Warden, the inchoate in emotional turmoil between gratefulness that Vega is back and anxiety to pick up where they'd been left off
