#and there's some banter in there! lol

[batbabydamian]

Your older jondami art reminds me of the fanfic: It Wouldn't Be Make Believe (If You Believed In Me) by poisonivory, it's basically a college au where Jon ends up helping Damian solve a case and at one point they go undercover as a couple

Just love some good college jondami lol

OH I LOVE THAT FIC!! idk if you’re referring to my jondami stuff in general but my first fanart of them was very much fueled by that fic (even the caption about how "they’re working on a case" - yeah that was me so enamored by the fic’s vibe of how they investigate together 🥺)

poisonivory’s other jondami fic Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? also makes me yell for so many reasons but the way certain comic events were utilized to affect the narrative and ship?? wild (warning for this fic, it’s Explicit jic anyone's jumpscared by sex)

"You like him."

Damn Sebek and his stupidly observant ways. You drank your tea, trying not to react to his words.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

The look Sebek sent you clearly stated you weren't fooling him, "It’s obvious."

You raised an eyebrow at him.

"...he’s an oblivious idiot."

Sebek caught and took a bite of the cookie you threw at him.

His next words had you almost dropping your cup.

"…do you want help?"

You couldn't help the grin, "Oh? Sebek playing cupid? For little old me?"

Sebek rolled his eyes, "There's worse people you could have chosen."

"Who? You? Ah- Okay! Stop throwing pillows at me! I'm a measly human compared to your stupidly strong strength."

"You could have chosen Ace."

You fake gasped, "I'm telling Ace!"

Sebek rolled his eyes, "Well?"

You hummed, contemplating, "No, I'm okay. I don't mind going at my own pace. Maybe it will become something and maybe it won't."

Sebek nodded at your words, understanding the logic behind it.

Unfortunately for you, Master Lilia wouldn't heed such words. In fact, with the way he was currently spying right now and taking notes, you'll have a cupid whether you wanted one or not.

Sebek sighed, he could feel a headache coming on.

If you don’t think a compelling romance can done without snarky back and forth, you should probably think about broadening your TBR.

(current wc total: 615,812) Word count breakdown so far for this project! Locations are still in-progress, and some of the main quests were transcribed before I knew how to access the files (thus the out-of-order list) so they may still be missing content.

Pairing Tomura and Dabi for containment reasons because what do you mean Dabi tried to burn his little bro alive when they were kids and Tomura did turn her older sister into dust?

[vaguely-concerned]

I feel that during the first coffee date walk through the market, rye has a fraction of a millisecond's kneejerk trauma freakout of '...wait. wait. am I really catching feelings for a rich boy again. with how that went down last time. am I truly that stupid' (once derogatorily referred to quite openly at a party as 'young master anaxas' pet mortalitasi' to which the young master anaxas only grinned and shrugged and STILL you don't break up with his smug controlling ass for good for six more months because you have a desperate bottomless yearning pit where your self respect should go, twice shy lol). and then he actually looks at lucanis standing next to him getting harding spearmint to help with bad dreams and generally being so quietly thoughtful and sweet through the prosaic yet necessary medium of grocery shopping it makes me feel a little unwell to truly contemplate. and rye is like '*the softest fondest eyes anyone has ever turned on anything* ...you know what. I suspect we don't have to worry about that repeating, I think we're probably safe. I am comfortable being this level of stupid. (slowly dawning marital intent even at this stage)'.

(part of the reason rye buys NONE of illario's bullshit at all right from the beginning is that he's basically vaccinated against this exact type of dude after that relationship lol. charming suave guy who in the beginning pays you a lot of lavish attention and takes pains to make you feel special every time you're in a room with him -- but shallowly and mostly, it slowly dawns on you, when there's something he wants from you (and he's often doing it at the expense of someone else, raising you up to put someone else down and you won't believe this... it can turn into a seesaw at a whim. yay). and beneath that there's just a seething pit of resentment and inferiority complexes and bitterness left to fester until he can make it everyone else's problem and that IS going to start to bubble up between the cracks with you too if you stick around for long enough. no thank you been there done that wasted my youth and potential on it and all I got was this lousy shiny set of new emotional intimacy issues haunting me for life! trust me illario I HAVE, as it were, chosen the wrong dellamorte before, which is exactly how I know I didn't this time. go get him lucanis I've got your coffee

hilarious mental image: rye and illario sitting quietly together while everyone else is busy milling about during a cursed dellamorte family dinner (the vibes are so bad. you know the vibes are bad. sitting as still as you can and hoping for calm skies is your best bet without lucanis or teia favourite child privileges to work with) and rye out of the blue gazing thoughtfully into nothing over the edge of his glass with half-lidded eyes to go 'you know. you remind me a lot of my ex. not in a good way' and illario with absolutely no shame and hilariously also something that's the closest he ever gets to real sympathy going 'yeah, I get that a lot'. best talk those two ever had, unironically. their bond leveled up to its final form that day. *soulsborne boss defeated text* MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING REACHED)

Showtape Intermission Banter:

“All Eyes on Dook”

After 40 years of playing in the band, Dook gets confronted that he’s been doing it wrong the whole time.

- written by Yoshi

FATZ: (looks at Dook) ya know what Dook?

DOOK: (looks at Fatz, puzzled) what?

FATZ: people sayin’ yor not playin’ those drums correc’lay

DOOK: huh?

FATZ: (assertive) they sayin’ yor not hold’n those drum sticks ya got in yo hands right

DOOK: (confused) well how am I suppose’ tuh hold ‘em?

FATZ: in your hand—

DOOK: (cuts off Fatz, raises voice) I am! look! they’uh in mah hands. What are you gettin’ on about Fatz?

FATZ: (shaking head in disapproval) no no no no no, you didn’t lemme finish

DOOK: (annoyed, raises voice) I’m hold’n ‘em in my hands!

FATZ: (calmly and quietly) Dook.

DOOK: (responds calmly) yeah.

FATZ: they’uh sayin’ that yor holdin’ them like how a caveman would hold uh spoon

DOOK: huh, what’s that suppose’ tuh mean? What’s a caveman, what’s a spoon? Yo makin’ no sense to me Fatz.

FATZ: basic’lay, you’uh hold’n em too tight… and at the wrong angle too

DOOK: (confused) what does that have tuh do wit cavemen and spoons?

FATZ: never mind the cavemen and spoons, I shouldn’t have brought that up, had I known you’d get so confused

DOOK: what’s that suppose’ tuh mean? You sayin’ I’m stupid? (Looks around center stage) Guys, yo’ not gonna let Fatz talk tuh me like this, right?!

MITZI: (quietly and politely engages) well… I mean Fatz may be onto something

BEACH BEAR: (calm and collective, talks slowly) listen Dook, there’s nothing wrong with learning that you’re not particularly the greatest at something

DOOK: (raises voice) what?! Are you guys bein’ serious right now?!

BEACH BEAR: I think we’re making a polite attempt to articulate to you that it maybe time you start considering the steps to improve yourself as a drummer, that’s all

DOOK: (regular volume, but rude) Beach Bear, do I even need tuh get started on yo’ guitar playin’ oh’vuh there. Ya know, I try to stay quiet bout it cuz it don’t really mattuh, but if this is what we’re gettin’ at today, then—

FATZ: (cuts Dook off) alright alright, we’re gettin’ off track, let’s get back tuh what we was talking bout earlier

BEACH BEAR: yeah, let’s get back to that Fatz

DOOK: (still not over it, continues conversation) ok… you told me that all I gotta do is hit this drum in front of me with these sticks, and occasionally hit dis metal thing on the side too, dats it… and dats what I’ve been doin’

FATZ: When did I say that?

Dook: when you picked me up off thuh streets, remembuh? I was lookin’ for a gig to help save up fo’ a trip tuh space… then you came along sayin’ yor in a band or somethin’, and that band needed a drummuh… I didn’t know what dat was, but you was like, “no problem man, can you pick up these sticks and hit this drum in front of ya?”, and I said “really, that’s all I gotta do?”, then you gave me the gig… and here we are 40 years latuh and now you’re complainin’??

FATZ: is that really how it went?

DOOK: yes.

FATZ: I find that very hard to believe, but I would rather not keep this conversation goin’ any longer

DOOK: no Fatz, you started it. You insulted me. You know how sensitive I am about y’all making fun of me

FATZ: Dook, Dook, Dook, no one is making fun of you

MITZI: Yeah Dook, we’re not making fun of you

DOOK: you are.

FATZ: no I am not, I am providing you with the people’s constructive criticism

DOOK: (confused) construction wha’?

FATZ: constructive criticism… it’s how you learn to improve

MITZI: yeah, I think they’re just trying to be helpful

DOOK: by insultin’ me?

FATZ: no, that’s not what they’uh doin’

DOOK: so what do they want me tuh do?

FATZ: I think we need to teach you how tuh properly drum, that’s what they sayin’

DOOK: 40 years latuh man?? You can’t teach this old dog new tricks. Where was dis conversation 35 years ago??

FATZ: Dook don’t act like you wouldn’t be actin’ the exact same way have we had this conversation 35 years ago

DOOK: umm… ak’shuallllyyyy—

FATZ: (cuts Dook off) do you want the money or not?

DOOK: (begrudgingly complies) fine.

FATZ: very well, we’ll continue this discussion later. Sorry to keep you folks wait—

DOOK: (cuts Fatz off) hold up, you are not apologizin’ to them for somethin’ you started?!

FATZ: (ignores Dook) folks, I apologize fo’ that delay in our show, we are gettin’ started—

DOOK: (shakes head) unbelievable.

FATZ: (Fatz continues speaking ignoring Dook) with our next medley that we’ve been working on perfecting for y’all

DOOK: (begrudgingly looks away from Fatz towards stage right)

Ohhhh yrliet girl you fucked up. You fucked up real bad.

Yrliet seemed to take Malakai's "I will take all the help I can get to escape" as forgiveness but I really, really don't think it was. Especially after being psychically tortured (and resisting through sheer willpower), Malakai has more or less shut down the part of their brain that feels. This is also partially a response to the torture worm that makes you see things. They beat all the checks by pointing out inconsistencies in the scene, so that's what they're devoting everything they have toward (and what they were taught to do to resist warp corruption) - know what is real and what is not. There isn't much room for other things right now. They need to get out and they will. They will do whatever they need to do to get out and consign any considerations of what happens after that to the future. Right now they are putting everything they have towards staying sane via clinging to a single, tiny shred of hope that might promise escape. The only question is if and how they'll process what happened during this time. Will it give them enough time for the fires of their anger to calm down and their usual nature to reassert itself, or will it push them further over the edge? And the thing is, Malakai is pretty forgiving. Malakai wants to see the best in people. But she just dropped them into their own personal ptsd nightmare and I don't know that there's any coming back from that under these circumstances. For a couple reasons.

First, she made a really stupid decision and then lied to their face, which they take as a challenge to their authority. Malakai is well aware that they're a psyker and only a distant relative of theodora, and therefore their authority and right to ascend as rogue trader is on.... Perhaps somewhat shakier ground than they would like. Especially after they were more or less threatened by the lord inquisitor (thanks for the heads up, heinrix. It probably did help). So they are very aware that they need to strengthen their authority as much as possible, and use it wisely. This actually caused a number of conflicts between them and Jae, who they saw as challenging them/overstepping, and lead to some cooling of that relationship. Heinrix has also been on the receiving end of that type of displeasure in some cases, though his authority via the inquisition does allow him some level of..... Imposition. Heinrix warning Malakai that the lord inquisitor was coming and that there was no real threat almost certainly saved that relationship from a similar cooling. But anyway, yrliet made a bad decision (trusting the drukhari?? Girl) which is somewhat forgivable, and then lied about how she knew (challenging them, using them, not forgivable). That means that their relationship is at an end, the only question is what kind of end. Because Malakai absolutely cannot trust yrliet now, because they see her as a poor decision-maker who can't even acknowledge that flaw (or so desperate that she will risk anyone and anything to get what she wants, which amounts to the same thing). Malakai cannot give her any other assistance because of this, so it's time for them to part ways.

It's how things actually played out that makes me wonder exactly what that parting of ways will look like. In most circumstances, I think Malakai would be willing to provide her with any resources she required, then drop her off at a location of her choosing. A polite but firm goodbye. But Malakai has already been under a lot of stress as they try to manage their new protectorate and try to decide between doing what they feel is right and what they were taught is right and then watching both of those options blow up in their face. Being threatened by the lord inquisitor didn't help matters either. And they had sort of started to make their peace with their choices, to regain some faith in their ability to choose what they believe is right, and then yrliet came in and, in some sense, proved all those people who said they were a fool to trust a xenos right. She sold them out. And maybe that isn't a super fair assessment of the situation, but Malakai has been dropped into their own personal ptsd hell and they're struggling to cope. They're backed into a corner and they're about to start swinging. They're not particularly angry or vengeful, but everyone has their limits and this just might be theirs. It really depends on how the rest of the act goes, but I think there's a real chance they'll execute her, especially if things get worse.

Apparently if you don't take yrliet into your retinue, Achilleas Scalander is the one who betrays you (I looked it up). He explains that he broke during torture. I've seen people call this motivation far more compelling, and I agree! That is absolutely something Malakai could forgive, interestingly enough.

Recently I've been thinking about how Lionize could also be a good song for Montresor. Especially during episode 87

[floridagirlboy]

back on my branchposting again. sometimes i think about the difference in slang and terms between branches. the navy in particular has some interesting ones due to a lot of slang being related to. y'know. boats and other seafaring vessels.

navy: hold on i gotta go to the head. army: the what? navy: the head army: you're going to get he— navy: no, not right now; unfortunately i'm on the clock right now. i'm going to the head. army: what do you even fucking mean, dude? navy: bathroom. going to the bathroom. army: then just say that. navy: i would, y'know, but i worry two syllables is just one too many for you. army: oh fuck off
