#and the story intrigued me

[cptnghoulowl]

I had a weird moral dilemma thing going for a minute where I was feeling weird about writing prsk fanfiction, but then I remembered I write stories about people in school all the time (unfortunately, because there's not enough media out there that I like that has college/adult leads that I actively want to write fanfiction for).

And then I also remember that nothing matters and aging up characters exists so anyway who likes AnHane I'm writing AnHane they are very gay and cute and I'm a little obsessed

I don't know what happened but I fell into the Evka/Antoine pit overnight after rereading parts of Tevinter Nights, and there's only a handful of things when I search for them so I'm adding to that pile myself!!

They've appeared multiple times in short stories and even the comics so I'm just waiting for DA4 stuff like "👀". Bioware pls give us the cute Wardens (preferably alive and well shjhfg but I'm expecting them to hurt me emotionally anyway bc this is DA after all, and there's been so much foreshadowing ;;v;;)

honestly I don’t see till hallucinating mizi and/or ivan in round 7 because I believe that besides her grief, mizi saw sua in luka because luka inherently resembles sua much more than any other alnst character so he was able to perfectly provoke her in that way. like everyone loves to point out sua and ivan parallels but sua and luka parallels are being shoved right into our faces. their birthdays being one day apart, them covering each other’s respective songs, how they both acted when they were children, their feelings of hopelessness and indifference to everything that leads to obedience etc.

just like luka, sua has so much darkness locked inside of herself and away from mizi, it’s so apparent in the mizisua short animation, in sweet dream’s lyrics and in most of sua’s illustrations where mizi isn’t shown. sua’s also quite possessive and gets jealous, it’s not as excessive as luka but it’s there and intended.

it’s clear that sua could’ve ended up just like him but didn’t because of how different their loved ones impacted them.

the concept of metroid fics written exclusively in the scan visor format is SOOOOOOOOO good to me. like yesssssss. use the restrictions of the in-game storytelling mechanic in immersive and innovative ways. communicate emotions using a writing style that has none whatsoever. clenches fist

I really loved the direct-to-video midquel Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas as a kid—it was probably the tape that I watched the most in second grade—but even at age eight I was like “I think that, if an evil organ had tried to kill everyone during the events of the original story, someone would have brought it up at some point.” It was one of the first times I started to think consciously about the “rules” of fiction, and it was all thanks to a crude CGI evil gay organ voiced by Tim Curry.

hi. if you like weirdly intense mentor-protégé relationships, War of Faith (追风者) might be for you.

the protégé: Wei Ruolai, a little potato, a poor, brilliant, idealistic boy whose n:o 1 ambition in life is to... work for advisor Shen Tunan of Central Bank. apparently. as his personal assistant.

"My life is not worth much anyway," Wei Ruolai says,

wow. ok.

and this is Shen Tunan, Wei Ruolai's boss and mentor. here he's looking at Wei Ruolai who has just said something very smart.

i'm going to eat that little potato for breakfast —Shen Tunan, probably.

people. these two have Chemistry. Shen Tunan keeps looking at Wei Ruolai like he can't quite believe his luck at having found such a sweet potato and can't make up his mind about which part to bite into first. and Wei Ruolai is just *incoherent noises* he's just so earnest. he's quiet and smart (and also very stupid) and tenacious and a tiny bit of a brat, and he lights up under Shen Tunan's attention.

Shen Tunan: "You spoke well earlier."

Wei Ruolai, having looked bashfully away:

ahem.

praise kink, anyone?

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

Possibly a hot take but i don't like when The Joker is a character with an actually really tragic Backstory that the audience gets to know that explains exactly why he is that way or when he's portrayed as actually secretly a super genius

And it's not that I don't like psychotic characters who are tragic and smart but if I wanted that I'd pick up a riddler comic

Joker narratively is suposed to be Batman's perfect antithesis exact opposites ultimate archenemies.

Batman is dark and brooding so Joker is colorful and is famous for smiling

Batman feels guilt for everyone around him getting hurt, Joker hurts everyone around him for shiggles

Batman protects gotham through fear, Joker terrorizes the city with laughter

Batman is cold and calculated mapping out hundreds of contingencies before a threat is even identified, Joker does what he wants when he wants with no regards for anyone including himself

Bruce Wayne has a tragic backstory that everyone who has ever even heard the name batman knows, the Joker's true origins are unknown even to the audience

Batman is an unlucky genius detective, Joker is an extremely lucky moron

"A defined joker? One with a name? An identity? Why that ruins the very definition of me." - The Joker
