DOL SWAP AU by @just-dol-headshots (moosen the devil) PRESENTS:

POUND Verse

Eri is a sheep hybrid girl who lives in the Temple, she is a senior Temple member living in the accommodation complexes provided by the Temple to older initiates who need more space. When she used to be a young initiate, she was just fine living in the bunks amongst others like her. However, now that she's living on her own - she doesn't feel as safe! Especially as a young girl living in DOLVille. So here she is, adopting our sweet Whitzoi the faithful from miss Pound Owner, Aphrodite! Let's see how these two will get along living together~!

Many thanks to Moosen, Dollya, Liu and Teru for feeding the brain worms! I had so much fun brainstorming this au with you guys heheh. Hopefully I can make a few more for this au~! <3

very controversial mean opinion but if you skip seasons 1-3 of spn you are going to always fundamentally misunderstand everything about sam and dean

i’ve said it once, i’ve said it twice, i’ll say it a million times — writing willow and eddie will always feel like coming home to me. i know eddie x oc isn’t popular but- god, these idiots are so near and dear to my heart.

the way the most recent pokemon games don't let you turn off the exp share or the affection mechanic bonuses is nothing short of maddening. i think they make great accessibility features If Only They Were Optional and the flavour text is cute, but i want to have a fun casual playthrough that's at least mildly challenging without having to make it a nuzlocke or something. i don't want to feed my starter bitter medicines to make her hate me :(

@apocryphis sent a meme: so you lied to me. (from neuvillette to furina)

       Thank you, Furina. From this moment on, please live happily as a human. Just as I wished we could.

       The water had... gone. Just like that. As she'd stepped outside of the Opera Epiclese, having expecting the encroaching flood to burst its way in through the windows and doors, submerging her gilded throne as the prophecy had always foretold, Furina had been surprised to see those same waters recede without a trace. More surprising still was the sight of the people of Fontaine still living, breathing — as bewildered as she at the turn of events, but not dissolved. Alive. There, by the Fountain of Lucine, were a couple helping each other up. There was somebody else emerging from beyond the hill, soaked through, but walking.

       She did not understand what had just happened, whether the prophecy was wrong, whether the true divinity of Focalors had intervened somehow... or whether she hadn't failed after all. But the shock soon turned to terror as she glanced behind her, back through the doors of the Opera Epiclese, where her once-beloved courtroom and the Oratrice still remained. Everyone now knew that she was not the true Archon. She could not stay here.

       And so that was how Furina found herself back in the Palais Mermonia. Amidst the chaos and combined rescue efforts of the Maison Gardennage, the Spina and the Fortress of Meropide, it had been easy for Furina to return there unnoticed. Or so she thought. Her one prevailing impulse, one that had served her well throughout her endless charade and she found herself leaning on once more, was to run. She had to pack her things and leave. She did not know where she would go, but if the trial had proven anything, it was that she would no longer be welcome here. The people of Fontaine would never accept her again.

       Unfortunately for her, Furina was caught half-way through packing her belongings by a painfully familiar voice. She whirled around on the spot, feeling as guilty as ever under the weight of that steady, discerning gaze.

       “ No! I didn't, I — ” Oh, but she did. She'd lied to him and everyone else, for hundreds of years, though hearing the words spoken by Neuvillette held far more of a sting than they would have from anyone else. She'd had no friends, after all, only subordinates — and the Chief Iudex had been the most constant of them all.

       Lying, pretending, acting... it had become as natural to her as breathing, and even now, she could not force a truthful admission to her lips. She simply stared helplessly at Neuvillette, words deserting her in favour of an anguished cry, forcing her to turn away. Surely she'd already cried enough tears, and yet here they were again, pricking at the edges of her vision. Furina reached up to rub her eyes, steeling herself. Strength, Furina, one last time. Then you can leave the Palais Mermonia and never come back.

       “ Something happened in the courtroom. What was it? ” It was with a much smaller voice that she spoke now. Furina could recall little of what had happened after the Oratrice's verdict was read out, but she was sure that there was more to it than even that. Why had she heard Focalors', Mirror-Me's voice again, after all? Why had it felt like a goodbye? “ The prophecy... it didn't come to pass? ”

Wow! That’s the worst they could have done that! Satisfying character arc who???

i would be much more open to the idea of Imogen being selfish, and even that being her defining flaw, if the evidence was more than just a laundry list of the harm she’s committed in which the connection to selfishness specifically often feels spurious at best, and the action is much more traceable to an actual flaw of hers.

people she's attacked or killed- prone to violence (maybe even more so than the average dnd character!). telling FCG off for looking into her mind without asking while doing the same to others - hypocritical. briefly suggesting the ruby vangard might be in the right in front of Orym Laudna etc- insensitive and impulsive, and also something she immediately apologized for, and that both Marisha and Liam said their characters understood and did not hold against her, why are people so stuck on this moment. the deterioration of her relationship with Relvin - we don't have time to unpack why "daughter failing to connect with her father during years long episode of horrible chronic pain and isolation" is being characterized as selfish!

like theoretically all of those things could be related to selfishness, the way basically any action anyone takes ever can be related to selfishness. people are often self-serving, including in actions they take that are good or value neutral. i genuinely don't understand why Imogen specifically gets called out as selfish, and why people are so insistent on it that they treat not viewing her as such as a fundamental misunderstanding of her character.

sometimes I see a post on tumblr dot com that I know is so grossly uninformed it makes me physically cringe but the thing that makes me good at being on the internet is that I scroll away every time baby

The sound of the bell over the entry door every time a customer came in was almost muted to Nicole. But still audible. It was just familiar and inviting in a sense. Familiar in the way where the traumatic past of her childhood wouldn't dare interfere in her doing something she loved. It helped her forget the depths that life could reach and she learned on at a young age -- literal hell was the farthest it could reach.

But that bell? The almost muted jingle was enough for her to forget about how much she despised finding a strange comfort in holding a gun and knowing she would never miss her mark. The same gun that was locked away in a safe in her apartment ever since her escape from Kane's captivity.

This was why she's in this bakery, trying to move on with her life and leave that horrific past, along with the unwanted comfort it gave her in a gun, behind her. Greeting kind faces of various customers, from teenagers with an appetite for a snack after school to mothers trying to calm their rowdy children and the elderly who loved their tapioca and prune danishes. Each face would give her that sense of normalcy.

It's so unfortunate though... her past wasn't going to let her go that easily. She knew that as she heard the distinct tone of the most hated monster ( --a charming politician to everyone else ) on the television before she snatched the remote from the counter and switched channels. Ignoring the knowing glance from a younger employee, Ashley.

The girl knew how much Nicole hated the news, but she'd never understand why Nicole hated that specific politician. She'd never know of the burdens that would add weight after weight on her shoulders with each News broadcast. Never know of how Nicole could feel the devil's hot breath drawing closer with each passing day.

Nor would Ashley know of how her entire world and fabricated life of normalcy came to a screeching halt when the next muted jingle came. Because the girl had left for her lunch break when it happened.

Slight, just slightly, unnatural blue eyes stared back into bright green. Unusually brighter than the last she remembered seeing them before her coma.

That's when she knew she had to stop running, even as she refused to entertain the idea of joining Kristen in the fight against Aiden Kane -- more so when they caved in to the pressure of their touch-starved state and let themselves feel again.

It wasn't till much later that she decided the normal life was nothing more than another fairy tale for them.

do you really believe in him? is he a good kid? no problems? you're gonna love him. you're gonna love him.

[gothasmo]

If Ais potentially finds MC at the beginning and brings them to Kuras, I wonder if Kuras directs patients that are beyond his abilities to the Seaspring as a last resort as their final choice...

[audioandart]

I'm sorry but no, he didn't. It's a misconception that he completely made shit up as he went along. It's also a misconception that he planned everything. The truth is, he, like many authors, made a good chunk of it and then let the last bits flow. Also a friendly reminder that he is not the sole creator of kingdom hearts. Second friendly reminder that if you play in English, you are subject to mistranslations, which depending on the game can vary from pretty much none to quite a few. Kh3 is fucking NOTORIOUS for the mistranslations for those who know they're there. Stop acting like kh is this incredibly confusing thing, it's a square enix game. It's full of info that is presented oddly because that's how they do it. If you don't like it then don't partake in it but stop acting like it's lesser. It's not. It's different. It's not perfect but it's far better than ppl give it credit for

fans when a story has some sense of inexplicable mystery or intrigue beyond the scope of its borders: oh fuck we need to explain all the mystery and intrigue immediately it was so rude of the author to leave the story open like that
