HAJDJAJ IM GLAD!! its so rushed and it was late

When they’re in fight club, before a fight the narrator gives the glasses to whoever, but tyler gets jealoud and snatches them.

my brain is plagued with the thought of the narrator wearing glasses because of that ONE LINE in the book where he mentions having contacts. just imagine the narrator wearing these silly-ass glasses. I WOULD EAT THAT UP. tyler would LOVE the narrators glasses.

I read your "stupidity of claiming heroes push for inaction" blog and I wanted to ask for a little clarity regarding this point you made:

That might sound harsh but I am deeply tired of the argument that heroes deciding not to kill is the same as them doing nothing. That just because these villains could kill again, it gives our HEROES the right to put them down like rabid dogs.

"Just because" these villains could kill again? You word it like that's a downright petty excuse for killing villains. I'm kinda baffled because...villains potentially killing again sounds like an extremely understandable excuse? In a scenario where innocent lives could be at stake, I completely get why someone would go for the lethal solution if they justified it with that argument. Someone arguing "they'll kill again" is not inherently a trigger-happy maniac, that's just a scared individual determined to commit awful things if they think it will prevent further, worse suffering.

For the record, I am not arguing in favor of killing villains - I'm just saying I find that specific argument in favor of killing villains an understandable one. I agree that it's not heroic. At best, it's cold-hearted pragmatism. But I don't understand what's petty about it, so could you please elaborate?

I didn't say it was petty. I don't treat the question of heroes murdering as petty in the entire blog. You may read it as that but here's my argument back: We as a society have moved on from the Death Penalty for the most part. Before it used to be that indeed, if you killed, you could never kill again. That you were too much a danger to society as a whole and so we put you down like we do rabid dogs: Euthanasia.

It is also something that much of science fiction has tackled with for a long time and we have even seen tackled within the past ten years in popular fiction. After all, if the fact that this person can do harm gives us the right to kill them, then Nick Fury in the Winter Soldier is validated. That movie discusses the idea of not just judging people for the crimes they do commit but for the crimes they may or are likely to commit. By saying the crimes one can commit in the future, even if you make the case it's because they've done it in the past, you are essentially saying that we should execute them for things they have not done yet, thus they must be tried for crimes they cannot defend themselves against.

And both speculative fiction and reality have decided that that is wrong. That we should not eliminate the idea that people can become better, or that there are more humane ways to deal with the darkness in our society and that is a GOOD thing. That is a heroic thing. That is the sort of aspirational thing that makes the world a better place because instead of giving into fear and hate, we are trying to allow hope and change in.

The main reason it may sound petty in the blog is that I am not talking about whether heroes should murder or not in that sentence. I am talking about the argument people make. That it IS petty that these online assholes think they're being so clever by saying "They murdered, so they'll murder again, so all heroes need to KILL!" when there only evidence is that. When their only argument is one of the most basic bitch on the planet and that entirely ignores the point of aspirational beings like heroes or just, you know... basic justice? Like the fact that maybe we shouldn't empower vigilantes to murder people and instead let the law decide if they have indeed committed enough murders to deserve the death penalty?

But that would actually require an actual argument that might take effort and time instead of making a good headline. That I will be petty to, but I will not be petty to this question. Otherwise, I would have started by clarifying what that sentence was actually talking about. Otherwise, I would not have spent thousands of words talking about this. Because the question is very serious and I do have strong feelings on how bloodthirsty people have become, especially in fandoms that need to remember that their media is mainly targeted at KIDS.

But I also need to just be honest with myself about the fact that I am engaging in this far more honestly and deeply than they are so a little shade back at them for that feels pretty justified. See you next tale.

======+++++======

Just as a storytelling note: It's actually a cliche IN WRITING to have your hero cross the line, or be about to, by listing their crimes and saying they'll kill again because it is is a question society has grappled. I mean, even Batman has literally done that in the storyline Hush and his friends had to pull him back from the brink before he did finally kill the Joker. It's powerful and it's effective and it has so much more to say than some fearmongerer who envisions a future where all children are taught to accept abuse when like... The heroes still fight the bad guys. Every time. Because they stand up for what's right and abuse is not right.

Also, sorry I've come back with something this heavy. Been struggling to find topics to talk about that I want to and I also keep expecting to get this next chapter of a story done but my brain is freezing back up. Take care of yourselves everyone, please.

I also have an Amazon page for all of my original works in various forms of character focused romances from cute, teenage romance to erotica series of my past. I have an Ao3 for my fanfiction projects as well if that catches your fancy instead. If you want to hang out with me, I stream from time to time and love to chat with chat.

Hand, Hearth, and Home

Chapter 67 - Restless Revisions

Chapter Summary: The companions deal with the aftermath of Church succumbing to the shadows. Astarion finally gets to have a proper chat with the tiefling's Shadow Self. Church continues to dream.

Pairing(s): Astarion x Male Tav (Main); Past OC x Male Tav Rating: Explicit Length: 346K+ words; Chapters 67/?? (Master Post)

Excerpt below:

Astarion frowns, stepping with uncertainty towards the recoiling tiefling.

“Don’t touch me,” Church snarls. 

“I wouldn’t dream of it,” Astarion says blithely. “May I ask who it is that I’m speaking to?”

Church laughs, and it’s a pained, rasping sound as the creature struggles to wrest control of the body. 

“An idiot child’s nightmare,” he spits. “Here in the flesh. The flesh where I belong.”

“Well,” Astarion remarks. “That’s not a very nice way to talk about your other half.”

The tiefling convulses and shivers, his head lolling to the side as he regards the elf. 

“He didn’t talk very nicely about me either,” he says pointedly. “He let me be chained up. Used.”

His mouth twists into a bitter grin. 

“I know what you’re thinking,” Church sighs. “You’re repulsed. I remind you of yourself, there in that dusty tomb.” He chuckles. “The other me was afraid of this. So fucking afraid, and now you’ve proven that to be true.”

“I didn’t say a thing,” Astarion says lightly. “I am merely… intrigued.” He eyes his companion. “You were about to kill me earlier. But you’re being awfully civil now.”

Church scoffs. “The Raven Queen attempted to control her idiot fledgling. But she underestimated me.”

“I see… and why ask him to kill me, exactly?” Astarion whines. “It’s hardly sporting to stab an elf in his trance…”

Church looks at him with derision. “You must have known ever since that gods-damned tomb — the bitch was looking for any reason to destroy you for the crime of being undead… and for holding the sorry fool back. Learning about the ritual just gave her a convenient excuse.”

“Sounds like her, from what I can tell,” Astarion says. His hand rests casually upon the handle of his dagger. 

He would hate to hurt Church, but if push comes to shove… surely they could heal a body, once this shadow is properly banished?

They… have revived him before…

The thought is sickening to Astarion, and Church already seems to know where his mind is going. 

The tiefling smiles, nodding down towards his hand. “Do you already miss him so much that you’d be willing to kill him yet again? In hopes he’ll resume ownership of his body?”

“You do like to presume things, don’t you?” Astarion drawls. “The Church I know is insightful, yes, but he’d hardly be one to put words into my mouth.”

“Well. I’m not the Church you know,” Church retorts, before chuckling to himself. “Although, perhaps I’m the Church you wish you knew.”

He drifts towards Astarion, who resists the urge to back away from the entity controlling Church’s body.

“I share some things with him, you know,” Church murmurs, not touching him but drawing closer as he smiles softly up at Astarion. “And not only a fondness for you. We have no desire to be controlled by another entity. Now that I’ve embraced my true nature, I don’t need the Mother. I don’t need the Raven Queen. I don’t need you, but you need me.”

“Oh?” Astarion says lightly. “Do tell, my… shadowy friend?”

Church smiles. “You don’t just want to stop Cazador from ascending. You want revenge. You want deliverance. So did that other me, but you know he will be too weak to do what you wish to do to that bastard. 

“This version of me isn’t squeamish. I won’t be afraid to cut and kill for you, exacting the delicious revenge you hunger for.”

As emphasis, he raises his hand as the shadows coalesce back into his wicked shadow blade. 

“You once said you liked me like this,” he says coyly, regarding the blade in his hand. “And I like me like this.”

His eyes flick up to his companion with a bloodthirsty smile. 

“Now, don’t we have a cult to claim?” he reminds him brightly. 

Astarion takes in the sight of the tiefling. The shadows seem to be settling down, and the only discernible difference between this Church and his original is that strange smile and his eyes…

The lights are gone from those dark voids, yet they watch him intently with an intriguingly manic sparkle. 

A cult to claim, huh?

Astarion chuckles. 

“Alright, darling,” he drawls. “Let’s spill some blood.”
