still boggles my mind that in the year 2024 most players still ignore anora's character just to reduce her to a lying backstabber, when she only goes against you if:
you reveal her identity to ser cautherine and howe's soldiers, defeating the entire purpose of her disguise and also ignoring what she told you literally one minute before about how they can't know she's escaping with you - thereby betraying her first
you ignore her completely in denerim after she asks you to come talk to her, and only show up to the landsmeet
you bring up loghain's fate, and when she tells you that she would rather him be spared if possible, you tell her to her face that her father has to die
#also ppl saying that anora isnt a people person and thats why cailan/alistair are better rulers or necessary on the throne#when the game repeatedly talks about how it was ANORA who was popular and loved#loghain even tells you that she knows how to appeal to peoples emotions#'in another life she could've been a bard'#< thats not someone who doesn't know how to connect with and move people#like! youre a stranger who is aligned with eamon who wants to replace anora with alistair just to preserve a royal bloodline!#no wonder! she is not! the most open and friendly character to you!!#even that being said - she IS personable to you#she tells you personal stories about cailan and her dad#if you ask if she needs anything she is genuinely surprised and thanks you for asking#anora has flaws! you dont have to make shit up!#dragon age#dragon age origins#anora mac tir#queen anora

Social media fics are fun, but future historical accounts and opinions about our characters (especially if our main characters are kings or important societal figures) about how influential and much-loved said characters become?? That shit makes me go feral every time
#seeing a character work tirelessly and often thanklessly to slowly improve society#often feeling hopeless#and THEN seeing historians several centuries later wax lovingly about how influential and beloved said character is????#i lose my shit EVERY TIME#if a character could potentially fit this trope they are immediate blorbo status#this post is about the goblin emperor#but its also about zuko and the entite gaang#and cliopher mdang and midoriya izuku and peter parker#rulers/kings/politicians/superheroes choosing to be kind again and again and look after those who need it most#and finally being appreciated for their hard work by the people they have helped#there is no other trope i care for more#my posts#tropes

haunted that lestat is like 21 yrs old leading a society. the other vampires should’ve iced his ass years ago on basic principle. well… i guess they tried several times but like a roach he persevered. I feel like they keep him around bc he’s the only one bringing interesting events to the community he’s like a human soap opera he’s like the personification of Murphy’s law. like he should be sucking and fucking his way across the globe having the vampire equivalent of a spring break trip to malibu as god intended but instead he’s doing paperwork and ruling a society….that’s cruel and unusual punishment for him AND the society like that is NOT his natural environment……..they should put him down humanely….send him to a nice farm upstate where all the other problem-causers run free in the fields etc but no he has the endurance capacity of a New York City roach with immortality to match and he just keeps getting more powerful and more manic-pixie-dream-girled so vampiric society gives up on trying to squash that gay bug and instead puts him in a jar to observe in captivity because the bug is easily the most thing to happen to their society in centuries. he’s like the sliced bread of vampires they’re like what did we even DO before lestat???????? and none of them can even answer because the worlds two oldest living vampires are ALSO obsessed with him. I’d tell them to get well soon but it’s just unrealistic at this point
#it’s INSANE ITS LIKE. what if our sluttiest dumbest hottest vampire who we all hate was the ruler of our society#if I were robert head of the vampiric finance committee I’d walk into the sun#that being said it’s absolutely the funniest outcome. So like. commitment to the bit is essential#it’s easily the most insane shit the vampire community has ever experienced#and then on top of it they all live in a massive recreation of his childhood home like he’s created a captive audience#an all-star cast of the real housewives of vampirism#this is a lestat positive post btw I love his crazy ass ❤️#lestat de lioncourt#the vampire lestat#interview with the vampire#the vampire chronicles#m watches iwtv

probably the best evidence i have for the idea that sansa will be a queen in some capacity by the time the asoiaf series ends is the fact that westeros has never had a canon-confirmed redheaded queen and i just don't think that george rr martin (both r's stand for "redhead appreciator" btw) would do that unless he was going to make a redhead queen in the books
#i'm not really a sansa qitn truther though tbh. it was one of the better parts of the end of the show for me but...#1) i don't think northern independence + bran as king makes sense 2) i'm a bad sansa stan and favor arya as ruler of winterfell#as for sansa i'd rather see her create a position of power for herself#potentially after being a queen consort and then being known as a queen in name like rhaena tbb#except bran isn't a misogynist piece of shit like jaehaerys#sansa stark#valyrianscrolls#asoiaf#grrm

Maybe im just too used to it atp, but it's funny to me how easy it is for me to draw seb and fernando with long flowing beautiful curly hair/wigs for my au, but when I even just try to imagine other people in it, like Mark and Jense, I can't even imagine them wearing the same type of thing at all 😭😭
#ig theres smth about like fernando and seb being more feminine in their role of ruler#and others like mark and jense being more masc in their roles of service hmmmmmm#but like mark = automatically short hair. absolutely no wig. cant even imagine him w slightly longer hair#jense more close to his honda hair length but cant imagine him w super long hair either#and the others which i havent really touched on(ex. kimi nico lewis mick etc)#i dont know if many of them i could draw w long hair either. maybe nico ???#i guess its mainly bcs it kinda goes along w whos had longer hair irl#but its not like seb or fernando have had super long hair akin to what i draw#but somehow to me it suits them very well 🤧🤧 very majestic very kingly#i cant imagine living back then and theyre like yeah wigs the fashion and you look absolutely shit in a wig#do you just live w that??? do you just cope??????#one day i will draw a comic of mark trying on a wig and them relentlessly bullying him#it just doesnt suit him at all!!! like i cant imagine it at all#well anyways this is all to say that i want to draw portraits of mark and jense#maybe ill play around a bit with jense#the only thing is just: he needs to wear a tricorn/bicorn hat LMFAO#hes just that type of guy to me#also i wonder what colors ill do#mark is the same clothing colors of seb 🤭🤭 cause he belongs to him YKNOW#and then jense idk. i think i drew him before w reddish orange cause mclaren which is okay????#idk theres just a lot to me abt color coding and like who belongs w who and who is opposed to who#<- which is why seb and fernando are always blue/red for me#catie.rambling.txt

Ooku is so close to having something cool to say about gender but the second i think they might do it they curve me and have the unwell crossdressing lady's happy ending be becoming traditionally feminine and submissive to her husband who became assertive and traditionally masculine.
#the jury is still out but. im skeptical#im on ep 5 and for the last few eps the focus has been a kind of effeminate monk getting like. force masced to be a breeer for the shogun#who is a girl forced to take on her fathers name and masculine role. then raped and impregnated at 14#then the baby dies and shes back to being masc. she doesnt even have a name bc her sole role is to be her father until she can birth an heir#which is very thematically juicy!!! and she is abusive in the exact same ways you'd expect of a patriarchal ruler!#and then she forces ex-monk guy whose been mascing up to dress as a woman for her amusement#which then culminates in him draping her in women's clothing and embracing her#which is very thematically loaded!!#and had me very hopeful! but then he's shitless and built after a timeskip doing very traditionally masculine shit#and visiting the shogun who now wears womens clothing and constantly asking him if she's displeasing him#which like. there's 5 episodes left they could do something with this. its clear the lady shogun is still fucked in the head#and her grandma who did all the identity stripping and treating ppl like broodstock is still bitching that she's not pregnant#but will they stick the landing??? idk if i trust the writers man#also just on a petty personal note they ruined my insane masc blorbo. shes not killing ppl anymore >:(#im gonna continue watching tomorrow but my hopes are low#might have to rewatch utena after this#cant believe i forreal thought Ooku was gonna do some “escaping the cycle of patriarchal violence and gender” with a het couple#in my defense they have a great setup for it 😔#who knows maybe ill be surprised

I hope you all know that the King Papyrus ending literally lives rent free in my head I think about it a lot-
#i think about this ending so much that the first name i really went by on the internet was King lmfao djgfhjkdgndfh#Anyways I think about it SO SO much it is SUCH a good character study for him GOD QAQ#Dude he was probably so excited when he was chosen to be king look what you did to him you gave a perfectly good skeleton severe depression#It's also a good character study for sans too I'd like to argue#like idk i think about it so much anyways it's about sans lying to papyrus about where their friends are because he knows that's like#the last thing holding him together. It's about Papyrus being aware of this but kind of refusing to believe anything else#it's about this putting a strain on their relationship it's about sans doing a bunch of work to help papyrus like#guy that does no work ever does a bunch of work there's something to say about that but i'm avoiding doing homework i can't get into it now#it's about Papyrus trying his fucking best but not knowing what the fuck he's doing but having to keep it together#cause the SECOND he cracks under pressure everything is gonna go to shit cause he is quite literally the undergrounds only hope#it's about Papyrus literally being the last option for a ruler. it's about-#I need to get back to doing homework you get the gist dshjgkndfh

Just gonna leave this here. Y’all can draw your own conclusions.
#being called a misogynist while being a woman and raising daughters is straight wild#do y’all think I seethe everytime I see a mirror?#my thoughts on a fictional universe’s laws do not reflect my views on the real world#does that mean team black is misandrist?#no one hates rhaenyra just because she is a woman#you look ridiculous for constantly jumping straight to that conclusion#we hate Rhaenyra because she proves she would be a shit ruler#hotd fandom#anti rhaenyra targaryen#anti team black

the thing about tgp au is that raphael is (metaphorically) in hell and tav is having a fucking ball. raphael is doing everything he can to make her miserable and tav is delighted to win each challenge (they are not winnable. she manages). and raphael HATES her for it. why is she having FUN this is the BAD PLACE not that she KNOWS THAT (she does know that. he doesn’t know she knows that) and this isn’t even getting into how they’re fucking from like week two. they are so UNWELL
#soulmates but it’s their various neuroses. raphael fantasizing about her knowing and being like well its a fun thought but she DOES already#and tav wanting so Badly to see whatever infernal shit he’s got going on behind the scenes. not even to challenge it#she just wants to Know. and at first it’s just her curious nature but that doesn’t explain why she’s now only curious about HIM#(girl who’s been abandoned by her god as far as she knows) i know latching onto the pseudo-divine ruler of this hell isnt healthy i just#dont care. so#this was supposed to be an astarion fic. i mean it was supposed to be both but. raphael. compels me#i do love astarion in this au. but i havent written any of him yet. so like. i know where he is on the pecking ladder#pecking ORDER whatever you get it#my life rn

@zeroabyss replied to your post “Tbf to the "how can Bernie hurt and kill Nabateans...”:
At some point story segregation is inevitable if they can’t properly convey feats into gameplay. Like Dimitri super strength shoul reasonably mean his str growth and cap is so absurd no one could reach it, but that wouldn’t be fair to the others would it? But at the same time they add more and more ridiculous feats that it SHOULD be that high, like how Hopes says he had strength training. In cold Faerghus. In Armor. While SWIMMING. At that point it’s absurd.
It'd basically be Jugdral 2.0, but given how IS completely knelt in front of the Ayra wank to make Mareeta - a major crested carrier - apparently weaker than her, even in her "ascended" aka "peak" state, I'm afraid character wank will now always triumph over story integration in gameplay.
Jugdral - FE4 and even FE5 - wise basically tells her characters with major blood are demigods and their prowesses cannot be matched by regular people, or even people with minor HB. It sucks - Leif complains about this - but it's like that
(FE5 is all about Leif realising he can be a hero by doing heroic things, rather than merely being born with the right concentration of "magic blood")
End of her journey, aka, Ascended!Mareeta and base!Galzus already mastered Eclipse (since in FE5 Astra and Luna can be combined!) and, by virtue of having the highest concentration of "magic blood", are "stronger" than Ayra, just like Shanan is.
But Ayra wanking means if Leif had a pair of tits and was a tall woman with long black hair, he would handle lances better than his major blooded sister.
Tl;Dr : in FEH : popularity >>>>> FE Jugdral's lore and mechanics.
and I fucking hate it
#zeroabyss#heroes salt#jugdral nonsense#i wanted to type about this shit of a FB earlier on#like it's a pile of salt waiting to be climbed#Fodlan doing jackshit with its lore in a way is better than#having lore and mechanics being retconned in heroes because money is more important than consistency#I stand by my assertion of nearly 10 years#Galzus > Shanan > Mareeta >>>>>>>>> Ayra and her kids#it sucks but that's HB for you#the point of Fe Jugdral is not to become the strongest#its to be the best ruler#that's basically leif's journey#he will never be the strongest#but he is the one who helps and rescues people#Reinhardt is the second coming of Tordo#but he doesn't stop child hunting#ditto for Saias#who does it though? Leif and his band of nameless peons

hey so I'm back on my bodyswap bullshit again! (What can i say, its one of my favourite fanfic concepts!)
Alright so hear me out on this one.
feel the crack.
Alastor is character A in the swap...
But character B is someone he's never interacted with
He probably doesn't even know she exists
Shes from a different show entirely
But they have one thing. ONE THING in common.
......
......
......
......
......
......
......
Its the cherub Vivzie herself voiced in that one episode.
The one literally named "Deerie".
So basically a cute "innocent" lowest-of-all angel gets bodyswapped with one of the most feared overlords in hell.
And the most important thing is that NEITHER of them are happy about it.
#Like idc what you think#Alastor would NOT immediately see the situation as an opportunity to get info on heaven#At least not at first#Bro couldn't give less of a shit about the angels#From his monologue in the pilot we can infer that he might even practically side with the exterminators#At least in the virtue of sinners deserving serious punishment#He has never shown ANY interest in going to heaven#And given what we know of his backstop its not too far-fetched to think that he'd planned to go to hell#That mentality of “id rather be a ruler in hell than a nobody in heaven”#And that would also be in character because from what we and a bunch of other people interpret his mysterious personality#Bro's power-hungry as shit#He probably dislikes the angels on the virtue of submitting to God#And now... he's the lowest of them all#A cherub. The heavenly equivalent of an *imp*#But much. Much cuter#He's gonna try to maintain a smiling face#Because we all know his philosophy on that#But it's especially annoying because he doesn't have his reputation anymore#Cherubs are known for being moved to tears fast and making waterfalls with that salt#So the intimidation factor is entirely gone#Plus he has to do office work to maintain the ruse#... he's probably gonna intentionally get caught cannibalizing a fellow cherub just to get kicked back into hell.#Seems like the less humiliating option#And then there's Deerie over here#Trapped in the body of a tall skinny sexyman demon with barely any deer features#Plus the. You know. Serial killer reputation and casual cannibalism#She's deffo not having a good time either#Probably regretting banishing that trio#Nah they were advertising their business illegally and acting on God's behalf#Shea such a bitch I love her
