"even if he's the worst version of all the calebs from then to now, you still want him?"

lvl 51 affinity call — i still think about this call a lot not just because i have nightmares often too and i definitely would have called him too LMAO 😭 but because. this line... there's something so heartfelt about this exchange that i just 😭 my heart feels like it's twisting but /pos 😭

you can just. you can see how much he always wants to do for her, how much he's always wanted to do for her, even through everything that he has been doing already. bec he's been doing a lot!! so much!! it's how he's been trying to show love bc that's how it used to be!!

yet... the reality remains that things aren't how they used to be. and then he calls the him now the "worst version".

he knows. he knows that the person he is in the present isn't the person she's always had in the back of her mind, isn't the person she's familiar with, isn't the person she's the most fond of... is the person that has hurt her. he knows that she's been sensitive about the way he's been doing things, knows that sometimes the things he does doesn't make her happy.... and i think he really just... he sees it, you know? it's not something he just notices and then does nothing about... he's aware. aware that, making her happy, taking care of her like he used to... he doesn't know how to do it properly, doesn't know if he even can anymore. things are different this time. he's still learning to come to terms with that... still trying to deal with the struggles of presenting this whole self that he's very much aware of—without hurting her this time. and i think that a lot of the times :( like in this call :( he just really wants a certain reassurance from mc that he's doing something a little better...........

:( just :( the vulnerability jumps out so much here :( i really want to give him the biggest hug :(

it's such a myth callback... :( he makes me so ill i'm so sick to my stomach 😭 (/pos)

୭˚. ᵎᵎ LADs Thread: What College would be like with them!

just a soft fluffy thread i’m doing for fun!

₊˚⊹ ᰔ featuring: Zayne, Xavier, Rafayel, Sylus, Caleb

₊˚⊹ ᰔ content: the boy’s college life based one their personality, major, school clubs, and relationships with MC!

₊˚⊹ ᰔ SFR! for my ramadan mcs ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂)⸝♡

₊˚⊹ ᰔ i’m using she/her pronouns for mc!

₊˚⊹ ᰔ all pictures are found on pinterest! also this is my first ever post on here so feel free to let me know what i should improve on ദ്ദി(ᵔᗜᵔ)

──── ୨୧ ────

❆ Zayne

Personality: He is the kind of student that is the best without even trying. he is frankly quite popular and tries to avoid the attention, even though it is inevitable, like have you seen this man? he is charming who wouldn’t have a crush on him? definitely a campus good boy crush.

Major: i do not see MC and Zayne being in the same school as he definitely would enrol in med school, but if there is an AU where he is in the same college as MC, he would be in biomedical sciences or biotechnology.

School Club: for his school club, he would definitely be in student council and a sports club like archery. if INFOLD ever has a sports quint banner to celebrate, i don’t know, Linkon Sports Day, i would definitely want to see Zayne in archery. just me? i don’t know, i want to hear from my zayne lovers, what do yall think?

Relationship: for his relationship with MC, it would definitely be a childhood best friend kind of trope. he is definitely the type of guy to do anything for MC. he would pull all nighters for MC if she needs his help in studying to give her motivation. then he has to carry her to her bed when she inevitably falls asleep during their studying session. because he is popular, and MC is always seen together with him, naturally, everyone ships both of them together. both of them are the cutest pair and the whole cohort supports it. he would definitely have to confess when the shipping gets out of hand, his ears would always show his emotions even when his face is super straight. his ears would be redder than tomatoes.

──── ୨୧ ────

✦ Xavier

Personality: for Xavier, i would definitely see him as the laid back, quiet guy. he would be at the back of the lecture with his hood up and asleep. he would do borderline for regular assignments. but when its graded and counted in the credit, he would ace it. its diabolical. he is the type to pass without even needing to pull all nighters, its like he is still listening to the lesson in his sleep. he definitely loves to explore the foods in campus and would tell new students what foods he’d recommend. would definitely have a food blog as like a hobby.

Major: for his major, he would definitely be in something that relates to astronomy, like cosmology and astrophysics. MC would not be in the same course but her classes would be near his.

School Club: after school clubs for Xavier would also be a sport but not the vigorous kind. similar to Zayne but instead of archery, i’d see him in fencing. what do my Xavier lovers think? [i try my best not to relate the school clubs to their majors because it adds more character.]

Relationship: his relationship with MC would be like hallway crush or same club mates type of thing. where they would occasionally see each other in the hallways or during fencing practice, and it becomes so often that MC decides to speak to him. a simple hi or something like that. then slowly they bond over food and start to get close to each other. both of them aren’t popular so its isn’t really known, but because of Xavier’s huge crush on MC, he would definitely glare at any guy who tries to talk to her. she doesn’t see his feelings for her at first, but when one of her friends point out certain things he does, MC gets a grasp of it and would confront him over hotpot! he would nonchalantly tell her that he likes her while chewing on hotpot meat. manz would NOT blush or show a sign of fluttery.

──── ୨୧ ────

༄.° Rafayel

Personality: Rafayel is 100% the most popular kid and would bask in the attention, as he should, pop off king. he’s popular because of his charm, his personality, and his talent. he is sassy and is extremely bold. he would definitely have a sense of fashion that makes him stand out. he may not be nice, but he’s funny so he doesn’t get slander for being mean. he’s not a valedictorian but is good at what he is interested in.

Major: he is definitely in an artistic type of major like Fine Arts. i know it would be a stretch, but being in Interior Architecture would kinda eat… i mean do you see how his studio looks in the game? 100% might eat.

School Club: picking a school club… i definitely KNOW he is a drama kid. he is in a drama club and he is the president. he plays in musicals and would rock the theatre, hence gaining popularity. like the amount of times i’ve seen a theatre relating to him in game is insane. he is a theatre kid and drama queen at heart.

Relationship: it might be an even bigger stretch… BUT! i see him in an opposite attract with a hint of enemies to lovers kind of vibe with MC. OKAY HEAR ME OUT! he is the popular guy, everyone wants him, everyone likes him. and MC is that one quiet kid that pretends he doesn’t exist. doesn’t acknowledge him one bit and that annoyed him. so he made himself known to her. i definitely see a Glinda and Elphaba type of relationship. he saw Wicked, pointed to Glinda and definitely said ‘thats me what are you talking about?’ Naturally MC hates his cocky and sassy attitude. but she eventually falls for his sweetness and charm. its not an intense enemies to lovers but more towards opposite attract type of thing. his confession would come about during an award ceremony for a musical competition. he would thank everyone and ‘someone special’. once he was off stage and he’d run to MC and confess to her.

──── ୨୧ ────

♛ Sylus

Personality: oh lord, this one was difficult. i can’t see Sylus in a college AU… like bro has an empire why would he need a degree? but if there was one, i imagine he is the big intimidating guy who is a softie at heart. he has this tough personality of being that sporty guy that people respect. his aura is intimidating and no one dared to speak up to him. until a certain someone. he is pretty much a delinquent and does what he wants, the consequences be damned. he also is the hottest guy in school, having a damn sports bike that makes him stand out from the other popular guys.

Major: he would be in a business or accounting major, just something that is useful to start his own business. for some reason, i imagine he is amazing at maths, and sucks ass at science. just me?

School Club: yes… i know people would think he would be in a boxing club… but i don’t think any school would have a boxing club (¬_¬") , so i think Sylus would definitely be in rugby/football. like a vigorous sport that matches his physique and stamina. he is definitely the captain of the the team.

Relationship: MC’s relationship with him is definitely a forced proximity trope. how they are forced to work together for a graded pair presentation. they barley know each other, but right off the bat, they dislike each other because they are basically polar opposites. MC wants to ace the project, while she has a partner who basically doesn’t give a damn about the project. he would propose a deal, that if she wants him to work on the project, she has to attend and watch his game as his fake lover (he wanted to shoo away attention from the other annoying cheerleaders). eventually he would fall for her first because of her braveness and boldness to step up to him and her determination to get under his skin. MC would accidentally slip out a confession during a fit she’d throw because he got under her skin first.

──── ୨୧ ────

❦ Caleb

Personality: honestly, Caleb is the heartthrob of the school. every girl and guy wants him. he’s the guy with that charming smile that could knock anyone out. but sadly he only had his eyes on one person. he would show off his popularity to MC and would brag about the flowers, letters and free food he’d be getting from secret admirers. MC would be annoyed and unfazed. secretly, he is obsessed with you and would do anything to protect you from harm. he is the type to host those college parties and everyone would go because it is 100% the biggest party of the year.

Major: if Caleb had a major, it would definitely be an Aviation type of major, before graduating to Flight school. (i have no idea how pilot in training works cus im a dumb goof)

School Club: for his after school club, he’d 100% be in a sports club like basketball, and he is the captain. MC would attend his games and cheer him on.

Relationship: MC and him are obviously childhood best friends, but with much more banter than Zayne. he is the type to tease and poke fun at MC for past habits or funny moments together. you both have a strong bond and is a 100% the biggest idiots together. Dumb and Dumber. without MC knowing, he had always liked her since the first time he saw her from across the street. a boy next door type of love. he had always been there to protect her even when she wasn’t aware of it. why did those other guys stopped bullying her? you don’t want to know what Caleb did to them. he would confess during graduation before he goes off to another state to start his pilot training. it is more fun that way cus MC would 100% think about it all the time and start to miss him. he is a good tease ;)

It's looking like there's a growing divide between Campaign watchers and Tlovm watchers in terms of like. We're here for the characters. 12-episode seasons aren't. They can't be. I'm already making peace with everything we'll lose in the Mighty Nein show, and I know I will enjoy it for what it is but I also know that almost nothing that made the story so special will translate to the screen, because turning it into a show automatically means (in this day and age) that plot must be the number one priority. They've already come out and told us it's going to be different, the characters we know and love but new stories.

Because that's how this has to work. And I feel bad for campaign one lovers, because while it is certainly the easier of the two to translate to a big, overarching story, even though it's a more "traditional" high fantasy story with easier archetypal characters, the archetypes and the plot aren't what cemented most people's love for the campaign. So much of the love for critical role is stored in the interpersonal dynamics and the payoff that comes from hundreds of hours of tiny interactions that one day become cornerstones of development and even affect or dictate the plot.

There's no room for that. There's no room for Bard's Lament in a story that cannot afford to remove and replace a main character. A lot of tlovm is for people who have been here for all of campaign one. Most of it, however, isn't. It's for a new crowd. While CR may have creative control, you can bet your ass that there were months and years devoted to figuring out how to map a character-focused love of the show into a plot that hits the right beats to be viable in the show market.

And it worked. Tlovm has consistently high viewing numbers, and its popularity has brought and will continue to bring new people into the universe who have never interacted with CR previously. That's not a bad thing - imagine finishing your favorite show and discovering it has another FIVE HUNDRED HOURS of the equivalent of behind the scenes content. That's incredible for these newcomers. But man, it is in many ways a loss for us.

Caleb: yesterday was, ah, not great

Nott: yeah, well, we'll do better today, right?

Caleb: sure - sure we will

After the Total Drama reboot’s Rematch, the post-season drama is still going strong…

[c-kiddo]

was worried parts of cr2 would not hold up on rewatch (especially seeing people hate the aeor arc so much) but ngl so far its either been good and fun as hell (travellercon, pirate arc) or just straight up banger after banger. like the xhorhas to angel of irons through to refjorged arc and then the cathedral.................. unrelenting slay

You mean you don't show affection for your one and only brother by repeatedly throwing the love of his life's tragic fate in his face?

Featuring a very tiny cameo by @moonfromearth's Veronica!

Previous / Next

Caleb: You look… refreshed.

Lilith: Yes. Thankfully, Veronica’s supply hit the spot. [appraising glare] I could say the same to you. I can smell her stink from over here.

Caleb: [momentarily alarmed] Whose?

Lilith: [rolls eyes] Don’t play dumb, Caleb. That spellcaster bitch! I can always tell when you’ve been gallivanting around the Realm.

Caleb: I’m sorry. Do I need your permission to visit a friend?

Lilith: Of course not. I just don’t know why you still bother. The only thing you two ever had in common has been a literal pile of ashes for years.

Caleb: I’m not talking about this with you now - or possibly ever again.

Lilith: Oh, she got you all riled up. [shouting] I know you’re hiding something! You’ve drawn an iron curtain across your thoughts, but I’ll tear it down eventually. I always do!

@ caleb ashmore's residence

with @caleb-ashmore

Despite every one of Louise's shortcomings, the former southern beauty queen had instilled in her daughters the same southern manners she'd grown up with. Saying "yes sir" or "no ma'am" (although the ma'am hadn't stuck in a place like Michigan), the proper way to introduce people to family and friends, and being a good houseguest were just a few of the rules Louise had for her daughters. And as much as Diana was loath to admit it, they often were an asset in her adult life. Among these was the rule she still followed most often: never show up to someone's home empty-handed.

So when Caleb answered the door, Diana held the case of pale ale up that she'd purchased earlier and hauled across the neighborhood. If nothing else, sharing a car and not having her own was going to make for some killer calf muscles from all the walking she was doing. "Brought you a gift," she cracked, looking up at the man who had been an extension of Grace in her mind for the past ten years or more. "Thanks for letting me stop over. You busy?"

kitty cards and tea

@kckuhaku

stacia is NOT fuming, she is NOT aggressively shuffling the deck, and she is NOT slamming the kitty cards as she distributes them on the table with a pout on her lips. oh no, she's in a PEACHY mood. all sunshine and rainbows here. initially, when this lunch date with maddie was scheduled, stacia was excited and looking forward to it—it's been a while since she's seen her best friend, as maddie has been deployed on a long-term mission and stacia was... er... forced on medical leave... due to an injury that both caleb and maddie weren't too thrilled that she obtained...

the details behind that weren't important right now... even if her previous dire wounds and sprained ankle would say otherwise.

no, her excitement for this lunch was RUINED because of the events of this morning. JUST... THE GALL OF THAT MAN!! she lets out a loud, exaggerated groan of frustration as she finishes dealing the cards, picking up her deck as she takes an uninterested glance at her kitty cards. stacia is completely unconcerned about what she has to work with, confident in her abilities to play just fine with any combination she has. it... doesn't help that her opponent across the table is notoriously bad at this game...

"i'll let you go first," stacia waves at nothing in particular as she shakes her head, dropping her cards face-down on the table as she picks up her teacup, taking a quick sip to compose herself. as... frustrated as she is, it's not maddie's fault at all. OH NO, it's HIS FAULT—just thinking about it, she slams her teacup on the table this time—it rattles; miraculously, none of the beverage's contents spills on the table from the action, as she stares at her friend with the biggest frown known to mankind on her face.

"you would NOT believe what happened to me this morning!" stacia gives her friend no chance to inquire what happened, or to ignore the obvious tension, or to really figure out how to start her turn, "so, you know i'm fully healed from my minor," MOSTLY healed from her MAJOR, "injury, right?!" she proceeds to pick up one of the pastries she ordered to complement her tea while waiting on the main lunch course (... that will take a while due to the cafe being fully packed right now), "and caleb's been acting like a mother hen this entire time about it..." also unsurprising to anyone that knows either of these two's history,

"and when i mentioned i was FINALLY going to go out on this lunch date in our usual morning call before he starts work, he got all... WEIRD about it." she pauses (for dramatic effect) to chew on her pastry, proceeding to wave THAT around, giving maddie enough time to digest this definitely important information (and actually come up with a play to start the game), "went all like 'a lunch... date? in YOUR condition? with who?' which i went all, 'yes? i'm perfectly okay now! my sprain is finally out of the cast and the bandages are still in place! the wounds haven't reopened in a week! i am perfectly capable of going out on lunch without hurting myself further!'" she may have forgotten to mention her date was with maddie,

"which then he went all, 'you don't have to go on that date. i can just order you food. better yet, i can come over and cook you food later tonight.' and i was all like, 'you've been doing more than enough these past few weeks!'" she let out another loud groan at this (she's definitely been enjoying the special treatment; who is she fooling?), "'and i NEED to see them! it's been FOREVER! i've MISSED THEM!' and the line got all quiet and he went all, 'i need to go. we'll talk about this later' AND HE HAD THE GALL TO HANG UP ON ME!!? like?!?!?" stacia dropped her pastry and had both of her arms up with a flabbergasted look on her face, "what did i even do WRONG?!"

starter for @sanguisarcana | caleb & astarion

Despite the simmering frustration brewing within Caleb towards his fellow companions on this particular evening, he still found it in himself to agree to conjure the tower for those who desired it. In truth, it may have been more for his own sake than anyone else's, as he preferred the spaciousness and privacy of his tower over the cramped and dingy campgrounds or a small, spare room in a tavern in Baldur's Gate.

The wizard’s usually level-headed demeanor replaced by a recent air of stress, his mind consumed by the ticking time clock represented by the tadpoles in their heads. And to add to the pressure, he was once again faced with seeing Astrid and Eadwulf again. And as time progressed, Caleb's frustration reached a boiling point as most of their group dismissed the idea of taking on Cazador as a priority.

He craved solitude, just a few blessed hours to collect his thoughts and regain some semblance of sanity. The weight of recent events was bearing down on him, threatening to crush his already fragile mental state. After a while, with his head properly back upon his shoulders, it was time to pay a visit to the one person with more of a right to be frustrated than him—Astarion.

A quick stride brought him down the hall to Astarion's room, its dark wooden door only a few steps away. He paused for a moment before knocking softly, teeth sinking into his lower lip as he waited for a response.

@caleb-lycaon

After everything that had happened with Jax, Elijah had asked to meet with Caleb so the two of them could talk in person. He'd been disappointed to hear about Jax leaving the pack but had kept any doubts to himself so he wouldn't undermine Caleb. Still, the state the beta had been in had been concerning, and that was how he'd ended up here fighting between the side of him that wanted to admonish Caleb and the side that understood where his distress came from. He knocked and stood back, hooking his hands into his pockets. "Caleb? It's Elijah."

[cravemore]

sylvester lycidas is someone who will Take matters into his own hands

[mikaels0n-elijah-writing]

@choserage aks: "you look tired. should i take over? // caleb i.e. keeping an eye on her" + blood stains his clothes and hands yet he pays no mind to either. it wasn't his and he hadn't stopped to change when he'd heard about her recent run-in with hunters. he'd gone to her to make sure she was alright to find her sleeping, though not peacefully. it's there that Elijah finds him, lingering in the doorway. "i'm failing her," he said softly. "i can keep her safe from demons and angels or other monsters but there's nothing i can do about the hunters." they won't stop until they're eradicated yet he'd made sure that nothing could kill them. he can't be here 24/7 and it ate him up inside. he's fully aware of the debt he owes Elijah and it's that which he addresses now. "thank you for being there."

The vampire nodded briefly. He was tired. He hadn't really slept for a few days and even if it wasn't absolutely necessary for vampires, he could feel the strength leaving him. Human blood helped, but not everything was possible to compensate for and Elijah didn't know the last time he'd been hunting... should he dare?

„Please call me if you have any problems. I can be back here right away.“ He and Caleb were whispering, so the man slowly rose from his chair and took one last look at Ana. Her breathing was calm, she was fast asleep. Then he left the room with Caleb. Elijah said goodbye and walked out of the door. He desperately needed blood. 

It was like a thunderstorm that broke over him when he got back to the flat. Caleb was covered in blood, his clothes literally sticking to him. Since Ana was safe, even if her sleep was restless, the vampire took care of Caleb for the time being. The blood that was on him didn't belong to him, so that was secondary. The vampire helped the other to his feet and helped him to the sofa. It could be reupholstered if the blood didn't come out. He sank down next to him.

„She means something to me,“ Elijah confessed. When he was with Ana, it was nice. It was different. It helped him. But even he was powerless over what had happened here. Demons and other creatures that he first had to get to know. „You have to teach me the weaknesses of demons. If you're not here, I need to be able to take them out.“ His voice was quiet, but sounded serious.

[reiremington]

location: fire station with: @caleb-lycaon

When getting back into town, he knew he had to get a job sooner rather than later. He only had so much savings that he could coast on before he would need income, and he wasn't about to go looking for help from his family. It seemed like a no-brainer to call the fire station, especially when he'd spent the last several years fighting fires in another city. Rei could only hope he wouldn't see anyone who recognised him on the way.

To his surprise, when he arrived at the fire station, there was a face he was actually happy to see. "You wouldn't happen to know if there's a job opening here, would you?"
