thinking abt how he spent his birthday in the inbetween

[winepresswrath]

what louis did to lestat and what louis did to armand are connected and that's important to the story but also. it is simply not the same. nothing louis did excuses armand's behaviour, that's not how anything works, but he did not "cross a line" or "poke at armand," he weaponized armand's history of abuse to belittle and demean him. nothing armand said to louis came close- the equivalent would have been "oooh, i'm such a stupid bitch that my husband can beat me half to death and i'll keep crawling back for more even when it endangers my daughter!" it's retraumatizing and deeply destabilizing to hear that shit from your partner. and in response armand should have been like "well this man sucks when he's high and he's high all the time, so i'm bouncing" but if he'd done that we wouldn't have a story, would we?

edit: i've come back to give armand credit for "claudia didn't love you like we did/do. ps. u used her to distract from your own hurt feelings" that shit does hit in a similar way. however "the ways someone hurt you have left you contemptible and weak. they scrawled 'dirty and annoying' all over your soul in red ink and it's never coming off" is just outstanding work. timeless

Excuse me can we get our beloved couple in a club and when Gil goes to get some drinks for him and her he gets flirted on and when he looks over to Thena he catches her on the dance floor dancing sexily and looking to him across the floor?

Choose the AU freely ✨

Gil elbowed the rowdy bar patrons on either side of him. Ikaris had gotten the last round - both of them having agreed that the girls should go through as little trouble as possible - so now it was his turn.

"Can I get you something, handsome?"

Gil kept his eyes straight ahead. He didn't even want to bother trying to be polite, he was developing a headache and all he wanted to do was lean on Thena's shoulder. "No, thanks."

"Aw, come on, hot stuff," the woman continued to try and persuade him into having a drink with her. Her hand landed on his arm, which he wasn't able to move given the sardine can situation of everyone trying to order at the bar.

"I'm getting drinks for me and my girlfriend," he grunted. He wasn't usually one to rush someone serving him but he was about one annoyance away from asking how long it would take to get just Thena's cocktail.

He cast a glance over his shoulder. Ah, he knew he felt a chill.

Thena was watching him--glaring at him. She was watching the woman hitting on him.

He shrugged, trying to tell her there wasn't much he could do about it. He had fended her off to the best of his ability. And she knew he had no interest in whoever this was.

Thena eyed him even in the dim light of the bar, crossing her arms at him and tapping her finger. Maybe it was the drinks, but he was pretty sure she had never let him see her this jealous before. He was pretty sure he had never seen her jealous before but Sersi had told him that he had, in fact, Thena was just usually quick to hide it.

He'd never had a girlfriend be jealous over him before.

"Hey man, here's your order."

"Thanks," Gil nodded at him. "Add it to the tab."

"And mine!"

"No!" he barked. The bartender just smirked at him while the woman feigned some offense. He frowned at her, though, even looking at her to do it. She wasn't his type even if he wasn't already with the most beautiful woman in the world. "If you think this is flirting, I think you need some boundaries."

"I'm just-"

"Y'know what?--close it out. Put it on my friend's card," Gil grumbled, nodded in the vague direction of their table. The bartender still got it, swiping the card without question.

The intruder just laughed, having decided he wasn't worth the trouble and aiming her mission for free drinks elsewhere.

Gil huffed, finally turning to make his way back to their booth with their drinks. He was sloshing his and Ikaris' beers clumsily, but whatever. He frowned when he finally arrived at the table. "Where's Thena?"

"Uhm," Sersi pursed her lips around the straw of her current drink. She took her new one from the tray and pointed.

Gil turned, his expression darkening quickly.

Thena met his eyes again, although she kept turning and spinning. She was moving her hair around on her shoulders, playing a sexy - and infuriating - game of peekaboo with him. Her control of her body really shone as her hips did one thing and her shoulders moved in the completely opposite direction.

Gil abandoned his beer, and Sersi and Ikaris, tossing the latters card at him. He walked towards the dance floor, where his partner was both dominating and captivating any attention that turned her way.

She gave him another seductive look before spinning and ignoring him again. She didn't have to know the song for her senses to pick up what the beat was. The rest of the dance floor was doing the dance floor thing, everyone in their own little groups and world, moving vaguely just for the vibe.

More than a few heads turned to her, entranced by the way she was dancing and, when they got a look at her beauty, just her in general. But too bad for them, she was all his.

Gil shoved his way through, headed right for her. Not that he couldn't appreciate his beautiful girlfriend in a sexy outfit on the dance floor. But his beautiful ballerina wasn't for just anyone to admire, let alone touch.

The guy trying to make a move and grind up against her fell to the ground loudly as Gil pushed him over. Didn't matter--he happily stepped over the guy's gangly legs to capture Thena's waist for himself. "What do you think you're doing?"

"Hm," she pursed her lips at him, whimpering under the deafening music. She faked a pout with her cute lips, "you were taking too long."

"I was getting drinks for us and our dumb friends," he grumbled, swaying with her, keeping his head close so they could hear each other.

She pinched his side, under his shirt.

"My dumb friend," he corrected with a chuckle. He looked over at them, clearly watching and then rushing to pretend they weren't. "I wouldn't have left you there if it weren't my turn."

"Then perhaps we should move somewhere more," Thena paused to trace her tongue around his ear, "comfortable."

"I don't think the bathrooms here are as clean as the ones in my ring, Gorgeous," he chuckled, and then full on laughed as she slapped his chest.

"I meant home!"

"What, and ditch Sersi and her jackass boyfriend?" he snickered, returning the favor by latching onto her neck. He didn't want to think about all the stuff in the air stuck to her skin, now. Maybe a shower was a good idea.

Thena moaned in appreciation. She really was enjoying her cocktails; otherwise she would never let him kiss her like this in public. Her fingers ran through his hair. "I think they are of a similar mind."

Gil glanced up in the direction she was tugging his hair. While they were being nosy friends just a moment ago, they were definitely making out like teenagers in the booth now. That took a matter of seconds. He scoffed, burying himself in Thena's neck again, "Should we let 'em carry on?"

Thena nudged him away from leaving a mark on her perfect skin, forcing his lips up to hers. "Can't have word of Miss Sersi acting like a frisky teen getting back to our cygnets."

Gil caught another glimpse of their friends, who were definitely feeling each other up on the cheap pleather. "Yeah, let's get them outta here."

Thena pulled away, tugging up the neckline of her modest but still alluring top. She put her hands on his cheeks. "What did that woman say to you?"

He grinned. He could get used to this. His head turned to kiss her palm. "She tried to get a free drink off me and I told her to beat it."

Thean purred, leaning in and kissing him again, making sure to press her breasts against his chest. Her tongue was practically still in his mouth when she whispered, "good boy."

He groaned, following her as she tugged him away by the lapel of his sports jacket. "You know what you do to me, sweetheart?"

Thena unceremoniously cleared her throat and yanked her jacket out from behind Ikaris, who seemed to be attempting to lie on top of Sersi in the booth. He growled. "Shall we take our leave?"

He grumbled, but Sersi tugged at her blouse and sorted her hair out. "That's a good idea."

Gil sighed as Sersi and Thena linked arms and walked ahead of them. He less looked at and more felt Ikaris sorting himself out next to him. "Were you two gonna get down and dirty in here if we hadn't come back?"

"Shut up."

Gil did, but he could have a chuckle about this for a good long while. Not that he really had any ground to stand on. Thena looked over her shoulder and gave him a smile that had him ready to sprint home. He gave her a nod and a wink.

"You two got awfully familiar," Ikaris grumbled now that he was ready to actually converse. "Never seen you willingly dance before."

"I don't call it dancing," he shrugged, grabbing the door as they finally exited the hell of that bar. "I call it defending my girlfriend from creeps."

Thena and Sersi concluded whatever they were talking about, parting in a hug. Weren't they going to see each other on monday? Regardless, they waved and then swiftly turned around. Sersi all but dragged Ikaris down the street and around the corner.

Gil happily let Thena link their fingers and continue on their way to the car.

"Can you drive?" she sighed, sounding half asleep as she leaned against his arm.

"'Course, honey," he promised, kissing her temple now that they didn't have an audience. "I only had one beer."

"Okay," she sighed, increasingly burrowing against him as they walked.

He chuckled, struggling to get their hands unlinked, only so he could put his jacket around her shoulders. "You can have a little nap in the car."

She shook her head, now able to really cuddle up to him, even tripping over herself to do it. "You are not going to get me as fired up as you did in there and then not take me home and fuck me."

Well, if that was what Miss Thena wanted, then Miss Thena would get it.

My relationship with my mom has come such a long way in the past few years only to come crashing down the second I try to do something nice for my dad and/or acknowledge that she is not the main character of the universe ://

[suffarustuffaru]

Reading your tags about how people miss the very obvious "there's some fucked up shit boiling underneath" regarding Otto, just gave me a sudden realization. Otto is the only character I know in fiction where they act all innocent and drive up the "clumsy", "just in the side-lines" and "straight-man (heh)" persona. When. Like no one's in the EMT camp is buying it. They know he's way more capable than he let's on. Meanwhile, the tomfoolery is completely brought on by the Western audience.

Like Otto is failing miserably to make other characters believe that he's not up to mischief, Roswaal even thinks it can bring his downfall. But the audience, who even sometimes *sees* his fucked up thought process, is buying it.

*head in hands*

no u bring up so many good points bc ive been really thinking about this for a while T^T its such an interesting phenomenon in the difference in perception otto has between the japanese speaking half of the fandom vs the english speaking half which can be explained by—yeah. media illiteracy mainly. im also putting my head in my hands anon T^T

because—okay sorry wkdndn im gonna get into meta again but hear me out bc this pattern of the fandom underestimating otto is interesting bc i kind of sort of i cracked the code maybe??? o.o i think the nature of otto is a character is that youre SUPPOSED to underestimate him at first, just like what happens sometimes in universe. i mean wayyy back then i definitely wasnt expecting him to get more depth added to him in arc 4–which was a pleasant surprise—which is also the reaction the vast majority of people have to reading/watching arc 4, along with the other vast majority reaction which is being a bit endeared to ottosubas friendship and respecting otto for being a good friend. and then its easy to underestimate otto bc of 1. all the chaos going on in rezero at any given moment and 2. hes almost always overshadowed by other characters doing worse shit or being more insane than he is and 3. otto of course damn well knows hes easy to underestimate and counts on that. thats what he did against roswaal in arc 4. plus—i mean even aesthetics-wise hes 100% DESIGNED to be easy to underestimate. his outfit and physical features make him look either friendly or frazzled or soft. so i think that the point is that we were supposed to be kind of fooled—at first.

because yeah, we’re endeared to otto. we respect him for helping subaru the way he did. we think that hes a nice person and we now support his actions especially after feeling sympathetic towards him after learning his backstory. (or at least the average audience member will think this wjdndn.) but like—you dont even NEED to look at any side content at all for it to dawn on you that theres something Wrong. with him. like all you need is main route arcs 3-8 aka ottos entire screentime thus far, because at arc 4 its so easy to overlook otto unless youre thinking a bit deeper (for example—he gets violent with subaru. like yeah its entertaining, its played for laughs a bit, yeah subaru needed to be snapped out of his own head, but was it 100% necessary??? why did otto have this response??? bc if you just look at the main timeline otto really decided to beat up subaru first. and bc this tendency is now Less Funny in arc 8).

but even if youre just looking at rezero face value, when you get to arc 5 its starting to get even more clear that ottos weird in the head. like we already saw him being very good at scheming and planning in arc 4–in arc 5, we find out about otto hiding the tome for a year. we find out WHY hes been hiding the tome for a year. the tome then leads the witch cult into priestella, so like—in the sense, otto is RESPONSIBLE for arc 5. but theres STILL a tendency sometimes for the audience to continue underestimating him even though by this point we’re getting more clues and many characters around otto, like you said anon, KNOW hes very capable. i keep wondering why this is, but arc 5 is, again, FULL of chaos and different storylines happening at once, so its so easy to almost kind of forget otto there in the background until he occasionally pops up again. plus otto serves an additional role as comedic relief sometimes—he spends all of arc 5 being bitchy and whiny (i say this affectionately HAH) about his camp being full of disasters, for example, so i think the natural response from the audience tends to be “aw otto!! what a silly guy!!” sometimes. you know? so its like. i think at this point some people tend to be like “yeah fair that otto was wary of roswaal and thats why he saved the tome…. anyway ooooh whats going on with these other plot points” wobsbss. its so fascinating bc—ok this might be my own personal experience but anyone reading this pls tell me if you agree or not—i dont think ive seen a lot of people actually even MENTION otto bringing the tome into priestella attracting witch cultists. and the english speaking fandom LOVES to go into certain characters’ wrongdoings so why gloss over otto????

the only explanation i have for this is that from arcs 3-4 underestimating otto is. kind of the point of his character UNTIL you get to arc 5 and the clues in the main story start seeping in even more. and also the western audience DOES have media illiteracy a lot. theres that too. just look at rezero content on youtube or reddit or fanfic sites or other things of that sort T^T but no yeah i think ottos nature as a character exacerbates it. youre supposed to start asking questions about him. youre supposed to start connecting the dots and then SUDDENLY its now EXTREMELY obvious in arc 7-8 and even while theres so much chaos going on its basically shoved in your face. arc 7-8 is just delivering on all the leadup that was arcs 3-5.

and i think that youve gotta be media illiterate for sure to NOT get that otto is not squeaky clean and innocent BY ARC 8. i think that ottos the deconstruction of the loyal best friend trope, and also a mirror into what subaru couldve been like if he decided to be more ruthless instead of jumping right to forgiveness and saving everyone, except sometimes that flies right over the audience’s head wkdndnd. it confuses me bc ive seen some people completely miss the point or completely agree with otto and overlook the Bad Parts of it or, you know, STILL think ottos perfectly sane—like T^T please.

and yeah so back to what you said about otto Not being underestimated In Universe—its such an interesting detail bc hes ALWAYS been simultaneously pathetic and Very Competent wjdndnd. but yeah no all of his friends have seen various hints and clues and evidence of what hes capable of. like even though he hid the tome from them successfully and even though hes hiding info now its INEVITABLE that its gonna blow up in his face one day. like you got characters like garfiel who literally saw otto punch the wall and break his hand in an unhinged fit of rage, julius who got snapped at by otto and while julius is a Bit naive definitely knows somethings off there, anastasia whos smart as hell and definitely knows not to underestimate otto, and roswaal who, like you said anon, literally went out of his way to stop otto from breaking his hand in another unhinged fit of rage and warned otto that he will literally be destroying himself if he keeps going on like this. its this fascinating dichotomy bc otto is NOT fooling anyone around him but at the same time his current schemes are mostly unnoticed—for now—which yeah i havent seen that in a lot of media!!! its an interesting balancing act bc people around him realistically know hes competent after seeing the Proof of that for the past couple arcs, but otto is still finding ways to try and Win…

which—again, the anger and violence is an extension of arc 4 otto!! this is the same guy!! hes always been like this!! ottos kind of stayed the same, deep down, this whole time and as an audience its ONLY shoved in our face with a big gigantic spotlight on it FOUR ARCS LATER, but it was hinted to all this time. and like you said anon—we LITERALLY see ottos fucked up thought processes. literally what sane person thinks any of that shit. its spelled right out for the reader HAH T^T which—yeah. media illiteracy…. and also this whole ask was a longer way of just saying that otto is VERY easy to see at surface level if youre media illiterate. but at the same time it should be very easy to figure out otto is A Bit Fucked Up bc tappei underlines it in bright red print!!! i think people sometimes just hang onto soft awkward silly otto and forget about the rest T^T either that or they dont think he cares about subaru at all. which. that phenomenon of thinking characters that do care about subaru Dont Care is also interesting to me bc why????? we’re at arc 8 and you STILL dont get it??? o.ooooo

but yeah apart from that….. i said this earlier but yeah sometimes some people agree with ottos realism in arc 8 which is. understandable, but the whole point is that he is EXTREME. with it. hes Not in the right here, but the same crowd that wants wanton revenge in rezero is gonna agree with that kind of stuff T^T ottos been lurking in the background so much so that tappei made it meta by doing the whole “walking in darkness” part of his character, so i guess people just. dont see ottos ACTUAL worst traits and instead think he would ditch subaru at the first opportunity or something. but at the point we are now, arc 8 ottos problem isnt that hed ditch subaru. his problem is that he would sacrifice the world for subaru. his problem is that he gets extremely angry at subaru for trying to do good. his problem is that hes trying to micromanage everything around him and is willing to sacrifice anything necessary to get what he wants. but sometimes people dont get that bc otto doesnt look sound or seem like a character thatd do that. the Underestimation part of his character is doing too well on. certain audiences. please T^T the soft and awkward and silly parts ARE part of his character just like all the Darker parts are!!!

additionally im also wondering if western audience perception of otto is also clouded by the fact that otto looks and sounds more feminine / androgynous and he doesnt have the appeal of Overt Power either……. he cant Really be waifu-ified… and he cant be used as a weird self insert like subaru…. and you Have to look at him closer to understand him…. and for some reason people dont tend to hate on him so aggressively, if anything people cant even see his actual canonical flaws half the time wkdndn so if youre not paying attention otto CANT be aggressively hated on bc theres nothing there if ur not looking at it….. and if youre not paying attention otto seems more “boring” compared to the others…… (not that people arent allowed to not have otto as a favorite character bc thats totally fair but im talking about the tendency to think hes Saner than he actually is.) but yeah these are just my guesses. i have no clue the western fandom is a little T^T some people unfortunately cannot read.

anyway. big thank you to the japanese fanbase for understanding ottos character more and making so much wonderful fancontent for him T^T also i think that we as a collective fanbase should stop underestimating otto in general bc its exactly what he wouldnt want and i think itd be really hilarious. <3333 make him explode with rage please

[larryrickard]

i had a dream that i made little cards that say "THEY!" on them that i handed out to people at work who got my pronouns wrong, immediately after they got it wrong. and in smaller text (or on the back) it said "i don't want an apology, i want you to do better" or "don't say you're sorry, DO BETTER" and ..... i kind of want to do it. maybe i'll get some moo cards made lmao

various scenarios included:

me slamming it down on a desk in front of them.

instead i had stickers, would slowly peel one off while they watched, and stick it on it on them.

handing out a quarter sheet piece of paper based on the 'i caught being good' tags we'd get in kindergarten which said 'i got caught misgendering hallie/my coworker'. it would have their name and date on it and a giant 🙁 face. i had them as a pad of paper and would hold up a finger to say 'wait a second', dramatically pull it out of my back pocket, take my pen out of another pocket, slowly fill it out in front of them, and hand it to them while staring them in the eyes.

getting a whiteboard for the outer side of my cubicle wall that said '[days] since i was misgendred' (with a bonus by saying 'last offender: [name]'

i also dreamt that i got into trouble for it because i was making people feel bad and was 'creating a hostile work environment'. i was just like.... okay and how do you think i feel? and my boss shut up real fuckin quick. dunno if that would be the case irl but if that does happen i can only dream.

Horsies in the Plex if Roxy is a horse lover before she knows they've ever existed here is really good honestly. She's off exploring, finding random horse themed things and immediately drops what she's doing to run over to Vanessa with it like "LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!" cause Vanessa also likes horsies and is the reason Roxy likes them so much in the first place.

Like it starts with a prop horseshoe or something. Then she's finding plushies and building a little collection of them, making sure to give Vanessa one every time she finds a new one. Then she finds a random ass saddle or a bunch of prop hay bales or something. A bridle. Some bit pieces. A harness for a wagon. The wagon itself. Horse action figures. Whatever else. She's been excited about every single thing she's found so far and wonders how much more there is to find...

Opens a new storage room door and she finds actual fucking horses. Deactivated, dusty as hell, animatronic horsies.

Fucking grabs Vanessa and takes off running into areas Vanessa is absolutely not allowed to be in at all to show her all the horsies sndjjd like "VANESSAA!!! THERE'S HORSES!!!! NESSA HORSES ARE REAL!!! THEY REALLY EXIST NESSA LOOOOK!!!!"
