#and i'd love to see how it plays out

[sotvrna]

i got to thinking about the lack of imodna conversations or any interactions at all, and imogen not talking to laudna about going off to message her mother, and it made me realise that hey. what if she’s distancing herself from laudna on purpose in a desperate bid to keep what happened with otohan from happening again. can’t use laudna to hurt her if she’s not “her favourite” anymore. what if it’s all imogen trying to protect her :’)

And thus, with the passing of 24 hours, Caeru's ambition truly comes to an end. Major Nemesis spoilers below the cut- we're talking endgame ambition business here. Mostly on a character RP front.

The Doomed Scientist made quite a few... choice decisions, in the end. Killing Cups once and for all, recording his story as one of grief-

And sparing what little remained of Mr Mirrors, leaving it free to roam Parabola as it sees fit.

Some of them, he can explain. Others, he's still left to feel... discontent.

Cups needed to die. That much was certain from the start. It was a tyrant, as all Masters are, and complicit in the bargaining and eventual destruction of four (potentially five) cities, as all Masters are. It was an obstacle. A murderer. A petty monster that felt no remorse even on its deathbed, and it went out of its way to ruin multiple lives just because it felt owed its own sick and twisted idea of revenge.

It killed his first love. It looked him in the eyes and he knew what it had done and he knew from the start it was going to die.

Perhaps, in the end, it knew too. And yet it still pleaded, and wanted to live, and-

It made a bargain.

A bargain Caeru didn't take.

Not because he didn't want to. Gods, he wanted to. He wanted it. He wanted it more than anything else in the world. To have Greylu back, to give him the gift of life, of love, to show him the wonders of the Neath and the beauty of the correspondence and all of the people Caeru has met and loved and found home with along the way-

But. He couldn't.

Because Cups was a monster. And no matter what, it deserved to die. And he could not, in good conscience, allow it to live.

Even if sparing it meant everything he's ever wanted.

So he's left here, now. With a bloodied traveling coat, and a bloodsoaked knife, and a favor finally fulfilled.

And nothing to live for. No resurrected lover, no charming visits to Helicon, no slow dances in the living room, no memories to rebuild and lives to live and he won't live again-

Nothing. All he has is a coat born of obligation, not to his love, but to people he's never even met. To lives he's never even touched. To a paramour, still alive, with hair of rose-pink, who doesn't even remember her own brother's existence.

Cups didn't die for Caeru's sake. Cups died for the sake of all who wanted it dead. For the revenger's court, and the ghost screaming in his ear, and the reckoning that will not be postponed indefinitely.

And Caeru, who acted as a tool to carry out their wills? Who all but betrayed his own lover, just to satisfy a cause he never knew existed?

All Caeru is left with, is regret. Regret-

-And grief.

ngl i've been kinda surprised by the lack of veilguard stuff i've seen on my dash since it released - i've very thoroughly given up on it, but even ppl who seemed hyped about it have largely just... not been posting abt veilguard at all.

then i looked in the da critical tag and, uh, yeah. i can understand why. it's not an actively bad game, but it sounds to be very... shallow and mcu-ified? i'll admit i had basically given up on veilguard, but i did kinda want bioware to prove me wrong. not that i would've bought it anyway given the way they've treated their company veterans. it's just such a shame.

rho #51 vs #13

if talia says "you've gained the mark" in reference to the tattoo covering jason's right shoulder/bicep, imma be real sad bc i thought it was him and roy having matching tats together 😢😢😢

no, jason's tattoo doesn't really match any of roy's upon further inspection, but i thought it could just be bc they wanted different designs while still getting tats together

if the tattoo is only bc the lazarus pit left a "mark" on jason:

1) interesting take, bc idt i've seen a version of the pit that's ever done that, and i hope talia's words aren't just a throwaway line if that's the case

but mostly 2) rip my jayroy matching tattoo buds headcanon 😔😔

[reddwarfpoll]

If, hypothetically, I were to do a bit poll* once the current episode poll finishes, would people be interested?

*The idea would be a poll where each match up consisted of two "bits" or sustained jokes (more than just one-liners; the board game scene in Samsara or the Deja Vu exchange in Future Echoes, for example) and people could vote for which they liked most/found funnier. These bits would be submitted by other people

(Idk if someone asked this already) since we’re on the topic of gender

sci what is gender to you and how do you see it in you and how you express it in your art?? (Just a young queer artist who wants some light shined upon them 🥺)

i 'unno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My take on that one sequence from C1 E85. I wanted to try and imagine how it would look like in TLOVM's style

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

Still wild to me that the Avatar team saw a guy write a love story between a stick and a monkey and were like "This is the guy who we need to write Rangshi and Yangvik" and then he ended up making two of the best couples in all of the Avatar-verse TT0TT

I met a lovely bumblebee a few days ago (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

[buckevantommy]

they're all sat down for family dinner. it's not the same, not without cap, but buck insisted on keeping the tradition alive. tonight is street tacos; buck has been trying to perfect a salsa recipe and thinks he's getting close.

as soon as buck goes to take his first bite, his cellphone starts to ring. he drops his taco abruptly and reaches in his pocket to retrieve his phone, glancing around in embarrassment next to him, chimney nudges him. "is that your boyfriend?" he asks with a knowing smile.

buck looks at the screen that flashes the name "tommy kinard."

a blush rises up his neck and blooms on his cheek. "uh, yeah, yeah it is," he chuckles. "sorry guys, I gotta take this."

he stands up, ducking his head shyly as he answers, the rest of the fire fam hooting at hollering as he leaves.

hope this helps :)

I literally feel like I'm dying and I need to see a doctor, but I can't worry about that right now because

My bank account is literally in the negatives because I'm too disabled to work and can't make money but I can't worry about that right now because

I'm months overdue on getting my car new tags, but it won't even start if I could drive it so I need to jump the battery and get gas which I don't have money for, but I can't worry about that right now because

People are still expecting me to be social across numerous friend groups and it's pulling me in so many directions that I'm stretched so thin I'm running on no social battery for the last month, but I can't worry about that right now because

I still need to actually clean the house, do the dishes, clean the cat litter boxes, vacuum, and do my laundry... but I can't worry about that right now because

I still need to actually set up my new desk so I can stream since I haven't been able to do that for weeks and streaming is unfortunately my only source of income for how little I make every month, but I can't worry about that right now because

My partner is going through a really hard time right now and I need to be there for her and do what I can to make sure she's okay.

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.

Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.
