(I will forever love the take that Stede is basically a romcom character thrown in a period drama with comedic elements, so that's one of the reasons see things being so dark after Stede left him)

could you share more about the maids wip? the "its literally not what you expect" makes me so curious
YEAHG sorry this ask (and so many otherssorry forever) has been sitting in my inbox for a while but really when it comes to maids au i had to have some time to sit down and think about the best way to explain it because its kinda silly and indulgent and out there as a concept...... so i ask you to take mine and ao3 kevjean's hands and open your heart
it's basically what you think it is except it isn't. kevjean are Ghosts and they are also maids. Walk with me here take my hand. they were actual real life indentured servants about a century or so before the canon of maids au begins, riko's personal maids specifically, and they die when the master of the house dies in their early 20s. the mansion they worked at, now a total crime scene, is inherited by two generations of moriyamas before it gets sold off and lightly renovated. something horrible happened in this place - the family and their workers alike all died tragically - and no one in their sane mind would want to buy it, much less live in it. one would have to be extremely rich and extremely clueless to consider this mansion
So a century after the tragedy jeremy buys it. LOL. he isn't Aware of the history of the house and he has just freshly returned from a failed attempt at Finding Himself at 27, so now he has to work for his stepfather and settle back down in his hometown. his first contact with the ghost maids when moving in makes him question his sanity, but they have lived a life of servitude; they don't pose him any threat, and they continue their work of taking care of the mansion. they don't Haunt it, really! they're Maids, and in their minds they work there still, and jeremy is simply the new master of the house they have to abide by. they cook and clean and look after him, which makes perfect sense to them, while jeremy grows more and more certain he lost his mind and is now hallucinating men in frilly dresses working at his house. it's really fun and they're really cute
some ghost maid factoids: they don't speak (at least at first) but they mimic twinkling sounds to communicate, which means they sound more or less like wind chimes and tinker bell. they don't cook well and jean puts salt on jeremy's coffee on purpose. they're married (in their heads). they can't clean the whole mansion by themselves but they try. they think jeremy is handsome but lacks all of the pomp of an actual master of the house. they don't know how technology works. And they love you

The whole "kill Imogen before Ludinus can use her" discussion from 4sd and now the "expendable" conversation from e87 KILLS me because they are so so close. Ludinus doesn't need Imogen.
Ludinus:
is not ruidusborn and bitter about it
has built a device that sucks the magical essence out of creatures (currently fey), but requires the user to be of the same magical essence
commissioned the conception of Fearne (gross) to be both ruidusborn and fey
is now surrounding himself with VERY POWERFUL RUIDUSBORN
I feel like it's been obvious for a while but Otohan fully TOLD THEM Ludinus needs Fearne for his plan to work. He set up his own personal food chain (food dominoes?) that currently goes:
fey -> Fearne -> all ruidusborn -> Predathos? -> the gods??
Imogen would be convenient on his side, and another source of power, but she is not the lynchpin. Fearne is. And right now she seems pretty cavalier about potentially getting caught :)

That moment when you do the math and realize Mrs. Young (Mrs. Marks? weird how she has a different last name than her kids) had to have died AT LATEST when Hubert and Daniel were only seventeen.
And here I thought that story couldn't get any sadder.....
I showed my work below the cut btw if you don't believe me
The numbers I'm using:
From 10x15 Hades Hath No Fury: "You've been living here for 5 years and you haven't looked for me?" "Mrs. Young had died. I didn't know where to start."
From 12x07 Brother's Keeper: "But [Nigel Baker] still lost four years of his life."
Also from 12x07 Brother's Keeper: "The victim was this man. Daniel Marks, 20 years old."
I'm also going by the assumption that every season spans about a year which, based on the clues we've had as to what year it is throughout the series, seems fairly accurate.
Season 12 - Season 10 = 2 seasons = 2 years
4 years in season 12 - 2 years/seasons = 2 years since Daniel's murder in season 10
5 years - 2 years = 3 years between Mrs. Young having died and Daniel's murder
20 years old - 3 years = 17 years old when Mrs. Young had died
Obviously, with Hades Hath No Fury being a later episode number than Brother's Keeper, and all these numbers being estimates, it's not like it's impossible for Daniel and Hubert to have just barely turned 18 before her death. But still.... Damn. And it seems rather unlikely, given that Clarissa would've had to return to Toronto directly after her death for that to be the case.

my hag romance murder mystery au turning to magistrate astarion working with executor shri’iia we kind of like that development
Tumblr media
#why I never considered their past jobs kinda worked well together LOL#like she technically was her matriarch’s executor with the way she hunted people down and all#and he’d be sending rando and poor people to death for their crimes bc god knows if he was fair and had honor#in this au he does not bc he’s indebted to cazador (he’s not a vamp tho that’ll b too easy for a murder mystery)#like hag romance working together to solve the murders themselves then when they’re done they give the findings to whoever is formally in#charge of solving it then disappearing 👍 I also want a scenario where they’re both using each other for their own means as in#shri’iia needs him to take her back down the underdark bc she dk where to go but then she learns that she wasn’t supposed to survive this#mission anyway so she’s like 🧍‍♀️ well I’ll figure that out later#astarion wanted to either frame her or use her against cazador so he can be free and run away#mid way he changes her plans bc Uh Oh there’s Feelings Involved#either mid way or later down the line I haven’t decided yet. but whatever they do in the end kind of ‘frees’ them from both their conflicts#they end up running away together 👍 live ur best life queens#I’m also hmm stuck on what exactly astarion is indebted for like it has to be something drastic and he’d be desperate to rely on cazador#(though I’m thinking that cazador set up the whole scheme and he just got played - which parallels shri’iia getting bamboozled too)#when ur charlatans who have 8 int 🧍‍♀️#but basically astarion when he sentences someone instead of sending them to the gallows he sends them to cazador to be ‘reformed’ but then#they end up disappearing from the plane of existence. so he’s like trafficking people 🧍‍♀️ but then I’m like idk what would’ve happened for#him to do something so drastic and actually go through with doing It and multiple times Too hmm#we’re still brainstorming …

first week of the new year over and I gotta say! mixed reviews! one on hand (no pun intended) I injured my middle finger on my dominant hand pretty band because i slipped in some snow and everything has been very difficult for me to do. on the other hand (kinda pun intended) I dm:ed my 4th ever dnd session yesterday in my homebrew campaign and city and my friends LOVE the npcs ive made (especially the horrible ones meant to be hated, they really respond to their horribleness and get super annoyed which is awesome) and the story and even though we had originally planned to do a rotating dm schedule with smaller campaigns they told me they're really invested in continuing to play in this setting after the "prologue" wraps up and they all told me how much fun theyre having 😭😭😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Probably an unpopular opinion: I don't like a lot of modern Dazzler appearances. Like after New Excalibur. I thought her 4ish issues in Astonishing were pretty good, and A-force v2. That's it really. Essentially every more modern Dazzler comic and appearance feels like it's trying really hard to re-create Dazzler v1, and that's not something that can happen, or even should happen. Ali has had so much growth and experiences past v1, and even in v1 you can tell it does start to shift from fun cameos to actual character growth, around the time she killed Klaw. And while I think callbacks to the silly storylines in v1, she is more than that. Especially post Dazzler the movie, and the gross relationship with Roman. And her time with the X-men and Longshot are important, too. She became more serious, more hardened cause she went through some shit. And like you can balance serious and silly that like never happens. Like most of her modern appearances really feel like they are completely reversing her character growth and it's. Frustrating and annoying :/
That's all I just had to rant about her character loss 👍

one of the worst parts about being a watcher fan rn is that in theory I think having paywalled series isn't that bad and people are being needlessly eat the rich about it, but on a personal level the two series I don't like and don't watch are ghost files and dish granted, and they're the most expensive shows to produce....... Like I'm seeing a potential solution here
