#and because he doesnt have a family he is cruel to them. he has nothing that's His own. besides honor and time and bitter memories

[barnbridges]

my personal beef is with olga vickery for ruining ANY other interpretation of faulkner's work than that quentin is a perpetual hero and jason the ultimate villain of the apocryphal county when you have like, literal murderers and serial rapists around...

[avnasace]

no but the way viserys continues to haunt the story through rhaenyra and alicents conflict, which gets passed down to both of their children, is crazy good content.

the irony in that viserys the peaceful was the one who started this war, and the downfall of the dragons/his family in the first place.

viserys and daemon had their own conflict, but when viserys alienated rhaenyra initially by marrying her best friend, he then ignored his and alicents children, eventually later his actions leading to rhaenyra marrying his brother (who he'd also taken for granted and ignored).

he then kept doting on rhaenyra up until the moment he died, further seperating himself from his own children by alicent.

alicent knows of rhaenyras affairs, grows hateful and takes that resentment out on her own children instead, while her father otto is further poisoning her and them for his own ends to scheme for the throne.

so then alicents children learnt to grow up disliking rhaenyra's. the only time you see them even remotely amicable is when theyre bullying aemond, another bond made through cruelty instead of kindness. this is ironic considering at laenas funeral you can see that aemond actually thinks about trying to offer comfort to i think baela and rhaena (if i remember correctly?)

aegon and helaena couldnt care less, which to me makes it even more sad. if aemond had, he might not have then been so quick to rub his claiming of vhagar in their faces, and he might not have lost an eye.

the taking of the eye plus viserys' incompetence reignites and cements alicents hatred for rhaenyra even more. viserys takes rhaenyras side, not defending his hurt child at all, even going as far as to shout at aegon for even the mention that he might have said something against rhaenyra. this causes alicent to attack her, and later making her then double down on her efforts to pressure aegon into hating rhaenyra, further distancing him from her.

later we see with aegon that his mothers pressure leads him to find affection in other very unhealthy and harmful ways, assaulting his maids, excessive drinking, brothel going, and assumably fathering many bastards, leading him tho the child fighting rings as well. aemond too starts going to the brothel and avoiding alicent, but for platonic affection instead of anything more.

helaena is the one who received the most of her mothers love and the least of her cruelty, however their relationship is similarly screwed up because shes the only child that doesnt actually want affection from her...

meanwhile rhaenyra is a very loving and fiercely protective mother to her children, fighting for them above all else, especially when their parentage is concerned. she does anything for them, and it shows in their natures that their upbringing, other than the scrutiny from other nobles about their father, that they were raised kindly and wisely.

whats also completely different is that rhaenyras children have not one but three father figures, all of which love them in different ways, which is three more than alicents children have. you could make an argument for cole being a prominent male figure in their lives but he is also quite cruel and hateful.

we see team greens children grow up to be anxious, affection starved control freaks, with mummy and daddy issues, with not one of them knowing how to be a leader even though they are all in some way forced to be one.

aegon is an incompetent drunkard of a king who knows nothing of court or war or politics, not even high valyrian. he is only a figurehead, but is strangely empathetic towards his subjects and loves his children.

aemond is cruel and objective, a fierce fighter and being the most studied and educated of them all, but with no care to his subjects and far too willing to disregard or maim his own blood for his own ambitions.

helaena is the gentlest but she herself has no ambition to rule, she is kind but also an outcast of their society because of her prophecies. she also does not particularly care for her subjects, even being scared of them and their willingness to get to know her.

meanwhile in complete contrast jacaerys and lucerys are kind, more than willing to learn, theyre fluent in high valyrian, they are very interested in their histories and heritage and they learn sword fighting from harwin and assumably laenor? later probably daemon too.

they stand in the war council room with their mother and learn, and even baela and rhaena are involved by rhaenyra to both take part and learn.

the generational trauma goes crazy in this show, but all these characters are so compelling. i dont think there is a single main character that doesnt interest me. yes most of them are bad people and have done awful things, but its also so interesting to see how they got that way and see how one fathers actions, or lack thereof, caused so much destruction.

[lynnthefrenchtoast]

why lyney x aether just makes sense

no traveller ship has ever rlly worked to me (other than ayaka bc it was very heavily hinted in canon) UNTIL TODAY. HERE IS MY FORMAL DISSERTATION ON WHY LYNETHER WORKS

neither of them have pairs - genshin purposefully does this thing where they pair up characters (eg: chongyun & xingqiu, jean & lisa) which is why there are so many popular ships in the fandom. i think lyney's effective pair is meant to be lynette & aether doesnt have one bc hes meant to be a player-insert but that leaves SO MUCH ROOM bc when you think about it the closest thing lyney has to a love interest IS AETHER

siblings - both of them are elder brothers and both are TWINS . they also both have a youngest sibling figure (freminet and paimon; dont tell me paimon isnt a younger sister figure bc if u open a modern au ALMOST ALWAYS she is presented as "aether and lumines younger sister") their backstories are similar (losing their other half) so they canonically understand each other (There's nothing in the world I treasure more than my family, so I know what it must be like for you -Lyney, Friendship LV4) THIS LEADS INTO MY OTHER POINT

the "i see past your mask" trope - this is a very popular trope (and one that ngl kills me everytime i read it bc it preys on the human desire to be fully understood) BUT it was made for lyney . if youve watched ouran highschool host club HIKARU AND KAORUS "we are the only two who understand each other... until haruhi arrived" IS NOT DISSIMILAR TO WHAT COULD HAPPEN WITH LYNEY, LYNETTE AND AETHER . and lyney was BORN to fit this trope bc he already has the whole fake, charming, extrovert persona he puts on. ("Actually, the real me is nowhere near as outgoing or chatty as I appear. (...) I think people would feel sorry for the real me." -Lyney, friendship LV6)

narrative - a big thing about ships is they need to have a faucet for tension . like xingyun is extremely hinted in canon but its nowhere near as popular as kavetham and zhongchi. why? because theyre just childhood best friends. nothing interesting about it. zhongchi especially is hugely popular bc of the potential for reconciliation after the osial arc (zhongli's "im sorry for manipulating you. it wasnt all fake i swear" sorta thing) AND YK WHAT ELSE HAS THAT??? FURINA REVEALING LYNEY AS FATUI IN THE TRIAL "im sorry for lying about my identity. it wasnt all fake" the core that makes ships like satosugu and zhongchi tragic is the betrayal of trust, and, well... ("Nothing could make me happier than having your trust." -Lyney, Ascension 4)

binary opposition - why is satosugu so popular? probably because its the whole 'cruel murderer villain' vs 'strongest hero' trope and audienced like sun vs moon . okay . AETHER IS LITERALLY THE HONORARY KNIGHT OF MONDSTADT, HERO OF LIYUE, ENEMY OF ETERNITY, FIRST SAGE OF BUER and lyney is THE FUTURE SUCCESSOR TO THE HOUSE OF HEARTH . the villain of genshin impact (currently) is the fatui so you cant get better than this.

canon hints - even if ships would theoretically work well and have potential for tension, they need to be grounded in the source material. so does lynether have that?

"Hmm, your eyes are like topaz, precious, pure, and lovely. I like them! I've decided — I'm going to put on a show just for you."

"I thought it was the radiance of the sunlight on my skin that I felt — turns out it was your radiance all along!"

"I should probably emphasize again that I'm rarely so open with anyone — I guess it's because you're not just anyone."

"It seems we're both keenly interested in each other. Well, know that the honor is mine! Haha, relax. I couldn't ever tell lies to your mesmerizing eyes — not even if I tried!"

"Doing all this for me... Are you trying to steal this magician's heart, by any chance? Well, in that case, congratulations, my dear apprentice — or should I say, "companion." For you have succeeded!"

canonically, lyney gets upset when aether thinks abt other things when hes in fromt of him. HES LIKE A POUTING CHILD THAT GOES "pay attention to me!!!" LMFAOO

the rainbow rose, need i say more? lyney literally gets flustered when lynette brings it up too pfft

most of the stuff he says can be attributed to lyney just being a flirt but in cases like the rainbow rose scene where he literally does it BECAUSE HE KNOWS AETHER WOULDNT GET IT... there is no platonic explanation bc if there was, if it meant Friendly Love THEN THE DEVELOPERS WOULDNT HAVE ADDED THE NOTE ABOUT LYNETTE NEVER GETTING ONE considering shes the most important person to lyney...

in conclusion, ive rambled for too freaking long but THEY WORK . AND THERES ALSO POTENTIAL FOR A WHOLE LONG DISTANCE YEARNING ARC BC AETHER ALWAYS TRAVELS SO... FANFIC WRITERS CHOP CHOP

[moonlit-escape]

★彡 ˙🌱. ¡! Vylad Mystreet headcanons !!

the second character i fell in love with. how cruel it is that he has fuck all going for him. I'll fix that.

korean and white

pansexual (actually this one is just canon) (cole petty ily)

doesn't have like a set label for his gender, and is cool with anything people wanna see him as

will try anything once

will put anything in his mouth

can sleep literally anywhere

i think this man might be the most laid-back, flexible person on the planet.

except towards geese because fuck those things

any time he has slept in a park he has made sure there were no geese around because those fuckers have stolen his stuff before and made him watch as they drowned it

listens to the most underground shit you've never heard and it all slaps (i didnt add this kind of stuff to his playlist though bc i wanted it to. make sense.)

also just listens to underrated music in general (includes just underrated songs from super popular bands)

currently holds an award for being the "funniest man on mystreet" and he didn't even have residency there

kind of has random visions about his friends in his sleep, but he just thinks they're normal dreams and that he misses his friends a lot (oh little does he know.)

used to say the most cryptic shit as a kid and freak his brothers out

being friends with vylad as a kid mustve been the weirdest experience. the kid eats glue, dirt, and moss, befriends frogs, crows, and moths, tells you you've suffered immense turmoil in a past life completely sincerely, and then infodumps about the entire history and process of typewriters for some fuckin reason

im 100% sure all three of the boys have autism and they got it from zianna

while he doesn't really want to connect himself to the ro'meave name (mainly bc of garte), he does love his family to death and sends his mom and brothers post cards every once in a while (when he remembers, mostly)

doesn't really reach out to his family any other way and neither do they. which he understands; communication is a two-way street

tries to stay positive and practice a healthy mindset and self-image, even and especially when he feels his insecurities and sense of self-worth creeping in

knows how to fish with nothing but a shoestring and a good fuckin stick

Loves pickin up good fuckin sticks

also cool rocks

he collects cool rocks from all the places he visits and keeps them in an old jewelry box. he keeps special ones he plans on giving to his friends in the top part of it

always making friends with stray dogs, cats, rats, raccoons, and opossums. someone stop him

has a johnny stein hotel transylvania relationship with his backpack (it literally has everything he owns in it)

knows how to fix and alter clothes

he knows how to do a lotta shit, alright. i don't think you'll find a craftier little guy than vylad ro'meave

except when it comes to fixing a water heater or anything to do with pipes or electrical tbh he hasn't lived in a house in a While

i'm obsessed w the idea that zane had spent so much time and effort trying to get gene to notice him meanwhile vylad enters gene's peripherals for 2.5 seconds and gene's like I Want Him.

poor vylad can't get on zane's better side for shit

owns a few skirts and dresses and high-heeled boots because he can wear whatever he wants

goes to ren faires whenever he can honestly. sometimes as a job!

when his hair gets too long he ties it back into a low ponytail or pigtails until he can get it cut again (doesnt really like having long hair)

wears weird and funky socks

he absolutely has a roblox account

likes to pronounce words wrong on purpose sometimes. mostly by putting emphasis on the wrong syllables

ABSOLUTELY adds extra e's to his words when texting bc thatse good showbiz babey!!

i'm coming to terms with the fact that he is most definitely a furry (not the type to dress up for it though. he just does artwork)

[taylors-fourth-cat-meow]

Answering this ask because my clumsy ass deleted the draft of the ans as well as the ask idek how that happened

HERE'S THE COMMENTARY ON ACOFAS CHAPTER 11: THE ONE WHERE RHYISE VISITS A SUICIDAL TAMLIN AND TELLS HIM TO ROT IN HELL 🥰

A tomb.

This place was a tomb.

How can someone be proud of doing something cruel to someone? If they are the saints they claim to be why do this to Tamlin bro? Istg i will NEVER to this understand how on earth did the editors agree to the plotline of the destruction of Spring Court?

Lucien had not come here to make amends during Solstice, I realized as Tamlin opened the door to the dark library.

Lucien had come here out of pity. Mercy.

Bruh why? why? wud he underestimate their bond like that? he speaks as if they hadnt been each others only family for centuries

Tamlin claiming an ornate cushioned chair on one side of it. The only thing he had that was close to a throne these days.

oh fck u little shit atleast tamlin doesnt OPPRESS his people!!

“If you’ve come to gloat, you can spare yourself the effort.”

Tamlin is so non-combative here and people still have the audacity to say Rhysie is the bigger male????

“Do you see any sentries around to do it?”

Even they had abandoned him. Interesting. “Feyre did her work

thoroughly, didn’t she.”

THATS NOT SOMETHING TO BE FUCKING PROUD OF RHYSIE

ISTG this asshole someone needs to kick him in the balls. HARD.

I smiled. “Oh, no. That was all her. Clever, isn’t she.”

No sir she is a dumb teenage girl who taught to destroy a court DURING WARTIME?

tbh if Spring wouldn't have fallen the war would have never gone down i said what i said.

I didn’t smile as I countered with, “I suppose you think I should be

thanking you, for stepping up to assist in reviving me.”

“I have no illusions that the day you thank me for anything, Rhysand, is the day the burning fires of hell go cold.”

my boi tamlin is so savage like??

SLAY

Tamlin deserved what he’d brought upon himself, this husk of a life.

He deserved every empty room, every snarl of thorns, every meal he had to hunt for himself.

Seriously? Tamlin, sweetheart, for the love of good kick this man and his bat dick pls.

Tamlin had burned them long ago, Feyre had told me. It made no

difference. He’d been there that day.

I really want to emphasize that Tamlin DID NOT take part in their death.

Had given his father and brothers the information on where my sister and mother would be waiting for me to meet them. And done nothing to help them as they were butchered.

BRO????

U expect a boy to go against his evil, physically abusive father? NO, strike that.

U WANT A BOY TO GO AGAINT A HIGH LORD?

No tell me? how was Tamlin supposed to fight a HIGH LORD and his brother??? Three against one??

And even if he tried to help them? we will never know? we get only rhysie's side of the story never tamlin's pov

“You brought every bit of this upon yourself,”

Yes yes lets go tell a suicidal person he brought every bit of his misery on himself

Yeh lets all applaud him

“You won,” he spat, sitting forward. “You got your mate. Is that not

enough?”

"No."

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK???

MANNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I WANT TO SCRATCH MY EYEBALLS RHYSIE'S EYEBALLS OUT AT THIS POINT

"You deserve everything that has befallen you. You deserve this pathetic, empty house, your ravaged lands. I don’t care if you offered that kernel of life to save me, I don’t care if you still love my mate. I don’t care that you saved her from Hybern, or a thousand enemies before that.”

THIS UNGRATEFUL LITTLE BITCH?!?!?!?!?

PLSSSSSSSSS

Why doesnt he care that tamlin has saved BOTH their lives on MULTIPLE occasions???

at this point 50% of the IC owe their life to tamlin

“I hope you live the rest of your miserable life alone here. It’s a far more satisfying end than slaughtering you.”

well he isnt even strong enough to keep his people in line and not a hair's breath away from rebellion, i doubt he'll be able to slaughter the HL who tore apart Amarantha, who fought a hundred of Hybern's monsters and soldiers in their camp ALONE, at the same time helping feyre escape AND was able to "drag" another highlord to war

*Drops mike*

But Tamlin only stared. And after a heartbeat, his eyes lowered to the

desk. “Get out.”

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you the bigger male

Tamlin didn’t have shields around the house. None to prevent anyone from winnowing in, to guard against enemies appearing in his bedroom and

slitting his throat.

It was almost as if he was waiting for someone to do it.

This breaks my heart so much. No, Tamlimn doesnt deserve this. NO ONE deserves this. Imagine being OKAY with someone being suicidal?!

okay but fucked how the neon yellow issue shouldn’t be an issue to this day and age yet there it remains. all neon yellow. even if pecco inherited the friends and family business of giving everyone and uccio reason to hate on marc by being the best (and only, mind) vr46 rider to amount to anything as of yet (sorry 😭), it still shouldn’t be going that far, should it? it’s been… literal years? soon to be decades? what would the reason for the continued haterism from uccio specifically (that bet lmaoooooo) be if like, nothing changed and we are all very much aware that neon yellow will take “marquez fucked me over” to his grave… like the amount of aggression just doesn’t click in place compared to the severity of marcs alleged crimes against humanity even if uccio really fucking hates marc (for reasons unknown?) it’s just astonishing, honestly… what the fuck did marc do to warrant such petty and cruel and pathetic loser behaviour to this dayyyyyyyyy from a guy in his 40s!!!!! vale stop talking about marc every day so uccio can finally move on!!!!!!!!

girl he won against vale. its that simple

like theres a LOT at play in the uccio/vale dynamic that drags its ass over to the rosquez of it all but. essentially. uccio's life and career is all tied up in vale. in wanting to see vale win. in specifically doing whatever vale needs to be successful. and it clearly comes with a lot of love (childhood best friends !!!!) and a sort of. guard dog like intensity and protectiveness over vale's ability to compete and his LEGACY ! so marc comes in and is charming and talented and. vale keeps saying hey maybe hes the next me :) "it is not an exaggeration to say marquez is the next valentino rossi" and "marc certainly has the potential to be the greatest of all time") and uccio is like. what the hell is that supposed to mean. you are SINGULAR ?? GET UP ?? like vale's just come off two down years and this twink comes in, charms the pants off of him, wins the TITLE AS A ROOKIE, and vales just like OHHH WELLLLLLL and invites him to the RANCH. and on a personal level for vale this makes sense because hey he isnt competitive yet anyways so who cares. he'll be nice. he likes marc !!! but UCCIO is VERY protective of vale's legacy..... and i think hates marc on fucking principle because of that....

and then 2015. have you ever had a friend flop. have you ever had a friend in crisis. have you ever sat down with said friend and invented excuses/reasons for their floppage to comfort them because thats what you do when you love someone. like. marc is already a broader "threat" to vale's GOAT status, he's been specifically and persistently fucking annoying ALL goddamn season, and uccio just doesnt fucking like him anyways. perfect excuse. here. unburden your floppage, blame this SABOTEUR. and then theres sepang-> confirms him as reason for floppage/losing the title-> the next few years marc just doesnt stop winning-> MORE of a threat to GOAT status -> argentina happens now he's DANGEROUS to boot -> still fighting against his and vale's joint babies-> GODDDDD he fucking hates that guy to this day

You know what ruins me ?

The sibling bonds in demon slayer.

Usually i think about the shinazugawa siblings but NO. IM TALKING ABOUT THE KAMADOS TODAY

Imagine the pain of having to watch your sibling go through it time and time again just to protect you ? And the worst part is that it's applied both ways. Well it's not the worst because I think demon slayer is so good at showing what lengths you would go for your loved ones.

What takes me out every sing darn time is the first time tanjirou is trying to save nezuko. Imagine, he was walking home after a typical day, and a night spent away from his family, completely unassuming of what his neighbour had unintentionally saved him from.

That is, until he smells blood. Imagine the fear that makes his heart, his heart that has been raised to love and care, drop and ache with paranoia.

And then he's met with the horrible sight of nezuko, his closest sibling, resting in a pool of her own blood that stains everything, from her hair, to her face, to her clothes, to the child in her arms, to the snow that they lie one, to the snow that falls gently on them. His soul is already grieving despite the fact that all he feels is despair and confusion .

And demon slayer does a really good job at conveying that hurt and panic through they way they animated the scene:

And nothing is said, tanjirou just screams, devastated by the scene in front of him. What does he do ?

He must've felt the world just crashing around him as all that matters to him is taken away in the most cruel way possible.

As an older sibling, I can't even fathom the idea of losing my younger brother. Granted, he's not that young anymore. He's always going to be a baby to me. So when I first saw this scene, all I could imagine was the heartbreak tanjirou must feel. As well as the feelings of failure as he wasn't even there to protect his siblings.

THE PAIN DOESNT EVEN STOP THERE GUYS.

I think it's common knowledge that tajirous first reaction to his whole family being slaughtered isn't instant tears. It's just shock and disbelief that something so horrific has happened to him.

Even after he's processed that, his second reaction is to check if anyone is still alive. Which to me is just

BECAUSE HOW ELSE WOULD HE KNOW THAT NEZUKO IS STILL WARM ? HOW WOULD HE KNOW THAT NEZUKO IS THE ONLY ONE THATS WARM ???

imagine the rush of adrenaline his body gets when he realises that nezuko could still be alive ? Once again, Ufotable delivers with the portrayal of this as you can see it tanjirou's body language. The way nezuko has been hastily wrapped up to preserve as much of the little body heat she's still producing. The way tanjirou is moving as fast as he can as a 13 year old kid with another 12 year old on top of him. The way he literally says that his lungs feel on fire but he keeps pushing on because it's his little sister.

It's heart breaking.

Guys the kamado siblings actually have me in a clutch. They care so much for each other that it's so cute but devastating at the same time. I think this is one of the main reasons why I think that nezuko is the sole reason as to why tanjirou hasn't gone fully insane yet.

I mean, the guy sees ghosts at like every corner, but he doesn't even bat an eye. He has two very loud and hyper friends that he's constantly surrounded with. And a breathing technique literally no one has seen in a thousand years. And he questions none of it bruh, his sister is in his backpack. He's fine. There's literally nothing to worry about. lmao tanjirou is so funny for that *sighs sadly

tanjirou's grief is lowkey overlooked sometimes. It's cute that nezuko and tanjirou care for each other but it's also so sad to me as to why they are so close.

im not gonna go into too much detail since its my business that doesnt need to aired out in the open

but this weekend was absolutely worst case scenario. i was no contact with my father for 3 years before he contacted us shortly after my mom's cancer surgery and because me and my sibling were both so vulnerable we decided to give it one last chance.

I made a mistaking thinking things would be different, he has his fair share of trauma and one of the first things he said to us on the phone a few months ago that no matter what he loves us and supports us with 'living our lives they way we want' and that was not the case at all

he brought his new wife and step daughter with him ( i realize now that he guilt tripped me into letting them come even when i said it should just be us) and i'm pretty sure they have NO idea about our baggage

he just acted like nothing had happened the past 3 years. we didnt have a conversation lasting more than a minute at a time. his new normal family didnt even talk to us or try to get to know us, i still dont even know what his wife's job is or his step daughter's college major is

they made me cry on the ferry to seattle yesterday, trying to convince me and brother to just get odd jobs or find work online rather than go through with disability benefits and at that point i just mentally clocked out. once we were out of the car in seattle i decided to stay at a near by cafe so they could go to tourist-y stuff (i do not do good in big crowds) and i just ended up ubering to the ferry terminal and went home on my own. And i have not talked to them since, he know i was upset and feeling sick and didn't even send me a text asking how he was doing. instead he dropped my sibling back home in the afternoon, didn't even take him out to eat, and then sent us pictures of the drinks he got at this local cider place that me and griffin were dying to try out. he was 20 minutes away and went out with his new family and took pictures to shows. i repeat. he was 20 minutes away from my house.

so i cut my losses and ended up writing a long ass letter last night. i wasnt mean, calling him a horrible person or calling him names. just how i felt so utterly unimportant to him and had no idea why he even reached out to us again, i told him i felt like he played a horrible cruel joke on me and brother

and thats that i guess. i was absolutely appalled by his step daughter and wife. I have never met such a group of entitled people before, the two of them are 1st gen ukrainian immigrants. They were absolutely disgusted that there were public needle disposal stations and pro-palestinian signage in the area. I cannot believe that they experienced the horror and pain of the current on-going conflict of their home on such a personal level yet roll their eyes at the current genocide happening in gaza. 'im glad the college protesting fad isn't popular on tiktok anymore' 'no one talks about ukraine anymore because of this' like. absolutely abhorrent.

so yippee i guess i have my final closure!!!!! theres no more second chances (this was like, the 10th chance at this point the past 20 years lol)

ok i realize i went into Too much detail but i feel better posting this thank god

misc spoilerous saltburn thoughts

love how oliver went off and mordered two people in two days but then sat on his ass for however many years waiting for the dad to die of natural causes. love how they came JUSSSST short of implying he long distance assassinated him

speaking of, the dad is the only family member oliver didn't manage to fuck in some way. come on man. commit

it's weird how the story couldn't commit to anything strong enough to make it interesting... like the absurdly rich family has a few satirical moments but isn't rich people satire in the end because too much of their screentime is spent being kind of realistic. oliver doesn't come across as sinister or evil because he has those scenes at the very beginning of him being pathetic and unpopular before he had any reason to put on an act. like if he actually knows how to act normal and comb his hair well... why doesnt he.... i was kind of waiting for a parasiteesque 'rich people can afford to be nice but poor people have to be cruel to survive' but then that wasnt the case. it could have done a secret historyesque thing where the ugliness of poverty is contrasted with the allure of the beauty of wealth but then he wasn't actually poor. i could have vibed with a 'boy is ashamed of boring middle class upbringing, sees allure both in extreme wealth and extreme poverty' sort of commentary but that is not even hinted at. it's just so mid, like some of the visuals go hard but the only thing the story commits to is various kinds of shock value, nothing of real substance

farleigh was like by far the most compelling part of the whole film like???

the scene with him and felix is FAR more interesting and nuanced than the rest of the plot put together. the way it makes you think about their relationship growing up and how it might have felt. the way it shines a light onto the fraughtness of farleigh's own position in the family, paralleling oliver's. the way farleigh brings up the racial context, clearly a bit hesitant, and the way felix reacts (one of the few moments where he's actually less than perfect. maybe the only one once the story moves on from oxford??). the way felix, despite often being the one to chastise or criticise his family's inappropriate behaviour, now comes not only to side but to identify with his family (esp his father) and its decisions (he shifts from 'my father has been beyond generous' to 'maybe we have done all we can')

his confrontation with oliver at the party where he shows full confidence he'll be accepted back into the family despite causing them serious trouble, simply because he belongs and oliver doesn't? genuinely interesting, especially in contrast with that earlier scene with felix where he appeared uncertain

only family member to make it out alive. icon

love how oliver tried to get him on his side and he just responded with ultimate cunt move

ok moving on. did anyone else notice that in that little montage of oliver settling in at saltburn and being more at ease, all the three saltburn kids take turns to read deathly hallows?? lol

i have to say after farleigh the mom was my favourite part of the movie. she got most of those rare satirical lines and she delivered them perfectly. times new roman queen

love how oliver bothered to actually kill felix but with venetia he just left her those razors and she went hmmm guess i might as well

what is the fucking point of having a labirynth in your movie if no one is gonna get lost in it????? no random police officers dont count

and what was the point of venetia saying ooh the full moon is gonna make us all crazy. that had nothing to do with anything. i was really expecting the family to ritually sacrifice oliver and to have done so with felix's previous friends but no that'd be too interesting

are those glasses even prescription?

[yuridovewing]

leopardstar and mudfur also have really interesting potential to me... im aware this is still fridging to some degree and honestly may just be worse than canon in terms of how cruel it would be but rewrite idea for them

mudfur is still a warrior that becomes a healer, but brightsky's death is a tad more relevant as to why that happens. while he was a powerful fighter, he slowly grew disillusioned with battling over the course of his life. he still did it, but it wasn't until brightsky's death that he really fell into despair. perhaps brightsky is the opposite, enjoying the thrill of the battle... and one day, a battle for sunningrocks happens, and a pregnant brightsky joins the battle (either the battle was at riverclan camp, or shes lounging there, or she was on a walk and saw the battle unfold and jump in). she doesnt survive. they can just barely save one kitten, leopardkit.

mudfur is distraught. her death was so avoidable, one second they were preparing a family and the next all he has is one sickly, premature kitten. he cant stop thinking about how pointless the sunningrocks conflict is, how much blood has been spilled over them for practically nothing. he'd always had those questions, but brightsky's death completely brought him down. he becomes a healer because he can't stomach being on the battlefield again- he cant just leave the clans with baby leopardkit, who won't survive without a doctor. he initially becomes a healer so he can learn how to take care of her, and by the time he was done, leopardfur didn't want to leave, even seemed disgusted at it. so he stuck around, looking down on the clans' violent ways, but not being able to do much about it.

leopardstar, on the other hand, grows up hearing about how much of a hero her mother was. how even though she was supposed to be in the nursery, she came out to defend her clan's honor and died a true warrior's death. she should be proud she died for such a noble cause! and leopardstar takes it all in, taking pride in her battling skills, vowing to ensure that her mother's death "wasn't for nothing". her father tries to steer her away from this, but he's consistently getting mocked for "abandoning his pride as a warrior". so she doesn't take him that seriously.

Heethans reaction to y/n getting bullied by boys in her class for doing something wrong in a project and Heethan sees??

Hi love! i'll answer this one right below since i have the other one shots and drabbles i need to finish, but the answer is as elaborate and detailed as the drabbles so enjoy the read ;)

The moment ANY man/woman (it seriously would not matter...remember what he did with Tiff?) the moment any person bullies y/n, its over. if it was numerous people, it's still over. depending on the degree of offense, his punishment will match the crime, however, no matter how severe or minor the offense was, it's not going to be good for the offenders.

He can go anywhere from beating them down to where every bone in their bodies are broken, to severely injuring them, or even killing them and using the major connections from his family's influence to cover it up. because you know, hybe has headquarters in America, Japan, and Korea, sooooo..yeah, no one is safe, he would def have the police and everyone bought out and nothing would come of it. i kind of suspect (even though it was left unwritten) that's how he kind of handled the whole thing with Scott and his crew after he burned them alive in their van for what they were trying to do with y/n. i just imagined him calling up his family's connections (i'm a firm believer that some people with serious money and influence will have connections with or without the governments to cover shit up and avoid scandals.)

If these boys were just harassing y/n and insulting her, playing rude and vicious pranks on her, i foresee him kidnapping each one, tying them up, and either laying them in the middle of the road and running them over (i read that in a separate one shot one time and i immediately thought of heethan on what he would do if someone harmed y/n) or he would beat them like crazy. he's not really violent naturally, but will get violent, sadistic, and very cruel when it comes to people who harm you, especially if they cross the line.

if it was just a series of insults or threats thrown at your way by the bullies, i think he would just beat them up and warn them to not even look your way let alone talk to you.

now lets say they got physical, like pinned you against the wall and forced kiss you, grabbed your arm and threatened you, or did anything like that, first off, they wont get too far with it because heethan is always nearby you. when you're at classes, he knows your schedule so he is very prompt (he's actually always early when picking you up and he'll text you. if you dont text back bc these guys took your phone, or he doesnt see you come out of the doors, it would only be seconds before he goes inside the building and figures out which room they took you and he'll not only stop this shit, but he'll immediately take you away and back to his room. he'll have h/n and jake watch over you while he would go and track down each and every single one of those bullies, and the infinite possibilities of torturous death is numerous, all i can say, he'd kill them in a very brutal and maybe even...a messy manner. especially Ethan, that guy will actually enjoy it knowing he's getting rid of someone who hurt you. one by one, each bully would die, and never be found. he'd use his family's connections to cover it up and that's the end of it. he is a man who will do things where the punishment will fit the crime, and the moment someone hurts you that way, there's no escape, kinda like what he did with tiff and scott.

a part of me kind of suspects that heethan developed slight anger issues that only comes out the moment someone causes you harm. it stems from his posessive, obsessive, and aggressive love for you, so he'd def would come out with it if someone harmed you. he also developed a little bit of a jealous streak, but if it was like someone at random coming up to you and complimenting your looks or trying to flirt with you at the cafe, he'd pull you in and just stare them down, talking with his eyes to let them know that you belong to him.

now lets say it's someone that KNOWS who you are and who you belong to, not just some stranger at a cafe or restaraunt......lord...

if one of the bullies openly made inappropriate comments towards you, and he found out about it....the jealousy would not only be there, but....i think we would seriously have to question his sanity at that moment because the amount of thoughts that would go through his head on how he wants to handle that person is very.....dark.

[tadpolesonalgae]

im late but finally read the new chapter and i... im glad the sisters finally talked a bit though im not sure if having her still be alone so often is the best thing but im glad she looked like she was getting better

now the thing with mor... i saw some asks of people saying mor was being mean and she is but i kinda get her (i wanna slam her head against the wall but i get her) like eris hurt her a lot and hasnt made any efforts to show her or the ic that he's anything less than a piece of shit so reader running to him after mor probably considered her a friend already had to hurt and then even if accidentally she almost killed azriel who's family to mor so yeah i get it. i hate that reader was finally trying to reach out to someone and mor decided to be a bitch (though idk how reader didnt think to maybe go for her sisters maybe like obviously you'd have to at least explain to mor what happened first). I also saw you say you werent sure if mor was out of character saying this or something but she is to me at least. The ic arent great people to the ones they dont like (sjm insists on writing them as shitty people to the ones they do like too but she keeps telling us it's just the people they don't) and mor doesnt like reader or eris so she can very easily be cruel and she knew where to hit and went for it. im mad she did it when no one can see though like if you're going to be a bitch be a bitch and stand on it but of course nesta would cut her head off. azriel barely sleeps as is and a closed door wouldn't hide the sound from even human hearing tbh so i hope he calls her out or even if that doesnt happen that someone at least finds out because reader just taking it and nothing happening doesn't sit right with me. also wished this had happened when reader was better and finally found a backbone because all she had to tell her is that mor will always be 3rd to feyre like do you think she likes you more than her own sisters? be serious blondie

also a little curious if rhys could hear her thoughts because the sheer chaos of it would give him a pretty good clue that she truly didnt try to betray them and that she feels like she doesnt deserve to even breathe and all that - 🧶

‘im glad the sisters finally talked a bit though im not sure if having her still be alone so often’

I have to believe this is a personal difference since I’m someone who genuinely cannot cope with being around people/interacting with them in real life for extended periods, so to me reader has been getting an insane amount of attention 😭

‘like eris hurt her a lot and hasnt made any efforts to show her or the ic that he's anything less than a piece of shit’

I don’t know? I think to us as readers of the series I kind of agree, but then he cooperated with the alliance, and also I’m on the side that if anyone should be able to see through his mask it should be the IC since hello Rhysand? UTM? CoN???? The idea of a mask/persona???

I suppose since they all care for each other they’re blinded by that so can’t see the similarities, but I’ll admit it does frustrate me a little?

‘(though idk how reader didnt think to maybe go for her sisters maybe like obviously you'd have to at least explain to mor what happened first).’

Doing that though would equal a level of emotional vulnerability and reader just doesn’t do that? What reader said to Az about failing them—telling that to Mor? Someone reader doesn’t know that well? I don’t think it’s as simple as explaining it, though I think that would help a little? Both reader and Mor experienced/are experiencing intense emotions, and the higher your emotions are the harder it is to understand an opposing side? Also not to mention reader doesn’t know how much Azriel has told everyone so she’s a little in the dark? They both are though.

‘im mad she did it when no one can see though like if you're going to be a bitch be a bitch and stand on it’

This might sound hypercritical or conflictive but I’m not writing/don’t want to write Mor to be a bitch? I like Mor and while it might add to the angst and drama to have her be cruel to reader I just wouldn’t be able to commit to it 😭 In my mind it was Mor acting on the hurt reader has caused her and while it was unnecessary, emotions should be let out? Obviously the way Mor chose to do that wasn’t great 🙄, but like, reader could have probably realised it was too soon to try and patch things up? 🤦 That and also to a degree reader wasn’t that hurt by the comment? Compared to how she would feel if her sisters or Az said something like that, the bullet only grazed?

‘azriel barely sleeps as is and a closed door wouldn't hide the sound from even human hearing tbh’

You can hear through doors???? 🫣 I mean, I agree that if Az was awake he’d probably be able to hear (if he’s okay though, he did get blasted by reader’s weird glowy magic so he could have temporarily lost his hearing from the detonation, especially with his proximity)

‘i hope he calls her out’

Azriel calling Mor out??? After some of the things he’s said to reader????

‘also wished this had happened when reader was better and finally found a backbone because all she had to tell her is that mor will always be 3rd to feyre like do you think she likes you more than her own sisters? be serious blondie’

😭oh my gosh I laughed so hard 😭😭😭

That would be so ooc of reader but I think it would be funny (in theory) for reader to suddenly do a 180° and act with them how she does around Eris and snap something smart and sassy back 😭🤭

‘also a little curious if rhys could hear her thoughts’

I think he could tell reader was struggling with something—I haven’t really thought whether reader, Elain, and Nesta would have received any training on protecting against daemati powers? I think Feyre probably would have given them enough, but nothing extensive? Also I think Rhys (with how he is about not peeking into minds) would have just blocked her out if her thoughts were being particularly loud? But then also idk how much the ‘thinking loudly’ was amplified by Rhys and Feyre’s bond, so whether it would even apply to reader in that way?

I don't know much about Ruth so I'll ask the entire hearts section nyeheheheh

ruth's my lone wanderer! (fallout 3 protagonist) i think youd like him. he very much tries hard to be A Tough Guy because apocalyptic wasteland, but at his core he's a very soft man just trying to survive and learn to love the world around him and his place in it.

❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits?

ruth is loyal and selfless and kind, down to his core. the wasteland is scary and cold and dangerous. despite it, he does Good - little things that he doesn't think matter, but that's just not the way the world works. a little girl gets hurt and even though he doesnt know her well, she's alone in a town far from her home, and he goes there to spend time with her so she's not alone. when bryan wilks comes to him asking for help, ruth drops everything to do so. and when when bryan's dad is discovered to have passed, ruth sets aside his own grief of leaving home to help this boy as much as he can, even through ruth is barely a man himself.

🤍 WHITE HEART — what are three of your oc's neutral/questionable traits?

down to his core to a fault. he trusts too often, and trusts the wrong people sometimes, usually more often. he's loyal until he gets burned; he doesn't have the foresight to see when things are bad until it's directly in his face. he trusts too much, too hard, and his judgement is Not Great.

and the wasteland is scary, and he is barely a man himself - 19 years old and kicked out of the only home he ever knew because of his father, the only family he's ever had. his coping mechanisms aren't. well they aren't good. he copes with drugs, alcohol, sex. anything to check out mentally.

[you should ask me some details of my ocs if youd like]

💔 BROKEN HEART — what are three of your oc's negative traits?

growing up in vault 101 under the thumb of an abusive and overbearing overseer, being fed 200 years worth of xenophobia towards the topside, as well as america propaganda about "the strongest country in the world", with a nice dose of a deep christian upbringing within the vault, ruth is. well. he's misled, you could say. he doesn't mean to be but oh my god he has some ideologies he needs to unpack (don't worry, he will).

but because of All That he has a complex about the people in the wasteland. he's not cruel, he's just a man at the cusp of adulthood trying to survive, but his morals and his politics are very... they're very. he sides with the enclave because he believes in their speech about the restoration of america. he thinks he needs to be selfish and cruel an dmean because That's How You Survive The Wasteland. he's mean because he thinks he has to be because he doesn't see people of the wasteland as civilized as himself or the vault (he learns otherwise, that infact the people of the vault are cruel and mean, but it takes awhile)

he's easily manipulated, with drugs and alcohol. loyal to a fault to the father who abandoned him, who had ruth raised in the environment in the vault because of james' own fears of the wasteland above. ruth does not see that james was a bad father and thus isn't even at the point of unpacking that he has severe daddy issues that the cruel, conniving men of the wasteland can sniff out like a truffle pig.

💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?

if you asked him he'd say finding his dad. going back home. god and the restoration of america. his morals. but to his core he cares about love, connection, community. he wants to live, not just survive, with his friends, his loved ones, and he wants to be happy. ruth always thought the people of the vault were his community, even as they were mean to him, because he knew nothing else, and he clung to the idea of it like a lifeline. it was the only thing keeping him going. but the wasteland is full of people just like him, who are kind, who love, who have passions, and while some of them are mean - a lot of them are mean - there are those who are not, and smile when they see him, and ruth will take detours and go out of his way just to get a nuka-cola for them, just to see them smile. that's so important to him.

🧡 ORANGE HEART — does your oc tend to prioritize family or friends?

[ gestures above ] one could say

💛 YELLOW HEART — how many languages does your oc speak? what language(s) are they learning, if any?

ruth only speaks english, but gretchen (mentioned little girl earlier) teaches him ASL, and during his time in the wasteland he picks up some phrases in other languages. i imagine him in his future being moderate in a ton of languages :)

💚 GREEN HEART — does your oc prefer being inside or outside?

please put him back in the vault PLEAAAASSEEE put him back in the vault

💙 BLUE HEART — does your oc have any cool/special powers and/or abilities? how are they with magic, if it exists in their world?

ruth is proficient in having the worst judge of character and making the absolute worst decision making. otherwise he's strong and good at bat swinging. he'd be good at punching if he like. knew how to throw a punch.

💜 PURPLE HEART — what is your oc's ancestry/genetic background?

yeah yeah james is voiced by liam neeson i made ruth irish blah blah thats so basic I MADE HIM WITH I WAS 15. what do you want from me.

🖤 BLACK HEART — has your oc killed or seriously wounded anyone before? have they broken someone's heart and/or broken someone's trust?

i have not decided if ruth has killed anyone during his escape of vault 101 but the answer is: probably. maybe? in the game you kind of have to but when do we abide by canon here. he does seriously wound someone tho; himself, right after leaving the vault, blinded by the sun (seeing it for the first time) and never having the deal with terraine before he walks right over the cliffs edge. gets some nice gashes on the left side of his face.

Rupert’s possessiveness: Character development

(Chapter 25) From what Lari has seen and experienced firsthand in TL2, people don’t change.

Everyone she knew from the past: those in House Belois, Aunt Amelia and even Crazy Emperor, Arnulf, Nigelle: No one changed. They all acted exactly how they did in the past. It was especially hurtful that she told her family the events of TL1, but they continued the act as same as ever. This causes Lari to erroneously think that everything she does is meaningless, there’s no point. But she still tries her best

This is particularly scary for her in Rupert’s case, because from what she’s seen, “Rupert hasn’t changed” either. He’s still the kind, considerate TL2 she’s always known. But she can’t shake the idea that that “kind” Rupert somehow became the cruel tyrant Emperor in TL1.

But the thing is, she never noticed his change, because she had influenced him since day one.

But neither had noticed.

From their conversation in Chapter 24, and again in Chapter 45, he reveals to her that he only cares about things that belong to him. Things that he can hold in his hands, that he owns and possesses completely. He has nothing, so it makes sense he holds what he owns tightly and not let go. Unlike most people, he doesn’t treasure things because he likes them; but rather because they belong to him. As of Season 1, he clearly tells her she doesn’t belong to him, she isn’t his, so he doesn’t care about her. If she’s that desperate to protect her family, then go ahead, prove herself to him. (Ch 32).

So Lari acts recklessly in S2, trying her best to prove her loyalty to him, that she’s his ally over and over. She’s able to breathe a sigh of relief for the first time, and is able to relax when he finally says that she belongs to him now in chapter 66 and 68; and why she was upset when she thought he didnt trust her at all in chapter 82. Lari wholeheartedly believes that the trust he has in her is extremely fragile, that one wrong move from her will make him lose his trust, and she has lost everything that she tried to accomplish in these last 3-4 years.

But the thing is, Rupert has trusted her a long time ago; those feelings steadily grew since Chapter 60. It’s pretty obvious in the manhwa now, during S3, that although Rupert acts possessive and says that Lari belongs to him and gets irritated when other handsome men get close to her, he treats her more like a person than an object.

At some point as Rupert grew up and matured, so did his views on possession: he no longer treasures the things that belong to him (Tory, Louis, guns, Fassbender company/money, Raccoon), but rather, he treasures the person who he likes - Lari. The consideration and attention he has for her is worlds different from what he owns.

The moment you realize Rupert is being clingy lately is because to him, “possessing someone” is the only one to keep them by his side. Lari has promised to be by his side as his maid/attendant - and that is their current bond/relationship - between master and maid.

He has no idea that the strong feelings he has for her is [love] - poor guy cares for her so much, and wants her to stay at the palace but has no idea how to convince her to do so since she doesnt want anything from him.

Meanwhile, Lari, doesn’t realize that Rupert’s viewpoint has changed and he treasures her because he likes her. She still thinks that he treasures her because she’s his ally, his attendant, someone that belongs to him. He’s just a lonely guy, that he just treasures her because he still doesn’t have much. Especially when he keeps on requesting for her to stay, with offers of riches and promotions - she just interprets it as him doubting her sincerity on staying as his ally - when he legit simply wants to give her SOMETHING as motivation/thanks for her to continue to stay, Lari had already said so at the end of the Belois Vacation arc that she wants to marry someone she loves and be with them forever. It takes Rupert forever to realize that all he needs to do is properly confess his feelings to her, tell her he truly loves her, have her love him back, and marry her properly. He can’t bribe her with a large dowry or power via a political marriage, but he certainly can marry her if they have mutual feelings for each other :)
