Btw I need jon to have the most complicated feelings about Jonahs death you ever did see. I need him to hope he never sees him again and feel the hole where he's supposed to be and why isn't he HERE why is he just gone, how can he just be gone? He was ready to live with taking everyone down to save everyone else but he wasn't ready to just. Live a normal life. With a hole. A hole that's forever festering and growing and he cannot stop it. He doesn't even know if he misses him but he's supposed to be here. There's so much anger and longing and confusion and so so much and it has nowhere to go and it's going to burst out and he's terrified of when it will happen. Hello can anyone hear me. Basically I need somewhere else jonelias and I need it to be SO fucked up

[bokettochild]

Hi just letting you know that I'm Obsessed with what you wrote about Legend's uncle. Because, like, my headcanon was that his uncle got older and Legend encouraged him to move in with his grandparents--don't worry I'm older now I can manage the orchard myself--and the distance that formed between them post alttp was enough to make his uncle just a bit too willing to leave Legend behind.

But, like...now I'm imagining Alphon raising this kid, this forgotten prince who has a divine destiny ahead of him. And he tries not to get attached, and slowly starts to encourage Link towards things like farming as his duty to look after him turns into found family. For a short time, Alphon starts to convince himself that maybe they can just live on that isolated farm together without worrying about gods or monsters.

Of course destiny comes knocking. Alphon goes to the castle alone, telling Link to stay behind (to stay safe, stay out of it) as a sort of last ditch effort to keep fate from claiming the boy who has become like a son to him.

When Link shows up anyway, Alphon reasons that it was foolish to see family in someone as far removed from him as a child of the gods. He gives the Hero of Legend instructions on how to proceed, and lets go.

Link loses his uncle in the sewers of Hyrule Castle.

Yes!

Whether Aflon was actually his biological uncle or not (I say yes, but I don't care particularily) he raised this kid with the knowledge that, yeah, he's more then the average small child.

When the rest of the knights are all killed off, he realizes, quite abruptly, that "oh, the prophecy about the hero is referring to him."

I think he loved Legend, truly. You can't be the sole caretaker for a wee babe and not fall in love with them. You can't watch them mimic you and talk like you and do their chores in a mirror of how you do and walk in your literal footsteps; little legs struggling to stretch far enough between holes in the snow- and not fall in love with that child.

Aflon loved Legend with everything in him.

But the kid that he found when he was brought back to life had his own way of doing things, he was wary, he was silent, scared of so many things and rather than following in too-big steps, he makes his own as he darts from brush to bush, from cover to cover like a soldier under fire. He doesn't act like a child anymore, he's not that sweet, gap-toothed kid that Aflon held in his arms just the other day (as far as he is concerned). Yes, he has the same face, but that kid is not his sweet, innocent, gentle, carefree nephew.

But it's still a kid.

So he takes care of him until he can make arrangements for someone else to, because it's still a child, even if it's not his child. He arranges for his parents, Link's grandparents, to take over, telling this kid with Link's face that they're going to the farm for the summer like they always do- except this summer he never comes back to bring him home again.

This summer, once the boy is not his Link is on the farm, he goes back to the house, locks it up, and leaves.

He can't live there without Link, and he can't go back for the kid that replaced his own.

So he wanders through Hyrule, finds a place after some time, settles down, and starts a family of his own. He always wanted kids after all, and now he has a wife and a son.

Except the little one they have is either the exact opposite of his Link, or all too similar to him, and either way that hurts. He's haunted by that little boy he promised the queen he would care for, but he's got no way to find him now.

He might go back once, but Legend's off adventuring, hardly ever home- doesn't really have a home, because the house isn't the same without his uncle and the farm was never truly home either. Maybe he asks the locals, hiding his face so they won't know him, won't tell Link he was there, (maybe they can't recognize anymore him anyway) and all they can tell him is what a good hero that kid became, but he's gone today, as he always is, wandering and restless, wary and unwilling to linger.

So he goes back home.

And I like to imagine he's even more haunted, because Link never wanted to wield a weapon. His Link wanted to be an apple farmer. His Link didn't like to fight. His Link would always cheer that his Uncle would kill all the scary monsters. His Link didn't have blood on his hands.

But the hero is the opposite, and deep down he knows his Link is the Hero.

Which means he failed his mission to protect him. He failed Link. He failed the queen.

And now he has to live with that. All while watching another little boy grow up in front of him. A little boy who idolizes the hero that the village people talk about sometimes. All while wondering if his son will turn out the same way.

Comic book resource just released a clip of Gawyn and Galad sparring if you wanted to take an early first look at your boy

me: i don't want to watch any more preview clips

also me: ZOOMS OVER TO SEE MY BOY IMMEDIATELY i couldn't possibly resist!!!!! and hey, my earlier objection was that i don't want to watch any more clips *from episode 1* whereas this one must be from episode 2, which we have so far seen no clips from. so!

okay, let's discuss!

first of all, gawyn is much more sexy and confident and much less cringefail than i always pictured him, but i'm not mad about it! good for him! if we see him in his element and thriving when we first meet him, then his imminent journey into trauma and depression will be all the tastier to watch.

second of all, mat pouting and bitching about the new sexy princes in town is killing me dkfjgkj he wants to fuck them so bad it makes him look stupid. as nynaeve clocks when she goes "EVERYONE is into this" after mat makes fun of her for being into it.

third of all, the mat-elayne-nynaeve banter!! oh my beloveds! i'm so excited to see their roadtrip!

fourth of all, the dialogue of mat asking who these guys are and elayne saying they're her brothers makes me think that this might be the brothers' very first appearance in the show and thus this dialogue is serving as exposition for the audience. in which case, they really might not show up until after egwene has already left the tower, which would be so heartbreaking for me! i want a gawene meeting this season, even if it's only 20 seconds long! it would've been good for the audience to see egwene have a brief spark with a new potential love interest to help them accept randgwene breaking up and rand moving on with other people! we can't totally rule out that egwene is still in the tower but busy doing something else right now and could cross paths with gawyn in a later scene, but i won't hold my breath and will resign myself to no gawene meetcute in s3. alas!!!

it's hard to imagine how the show will make time for them to meet now; they do have that brief overlap in LOC when gawyn accompanies elaida's embassy to meet with rand who egwene is still traveling with, but i'd always thought in the show that would work better as a time of reunion and deepening friendship for gawene after having already met briefly in the tower in s3, rather than as the first meeting itself. but with perrin/faile brewing, rand maybe having some vibes with elayne and avi, and mat probably getting his marriage prophecy and possibly even meeting the fated wife in question, maybe they felt that was enough EF5 Endgame Romances kicking off for one season and wanted to save egwene meeting gawyn until a later season. it WOULD be kinda nice for egwene to just focus on the randgwene mess this season, get closure on that, and then go into s4 with a clean slate ready to meet somebody new, i suppose. still, i always worry that show-only viewers might resent avirandlayne on egwene's behalf if they start having vibes before we've been reassured that egwene also has somebody she can move on with! but then, it's kinda seeming like avirand will move more slowly than i'd originally assumed and won't have time for anything to actually happen between them this season (though i'd eat my hat if there aren't vibes that signal future romance to the audience, bc it'd be kinda crazy to do avirand's entire big arc together without doing ANY setup for romance). so maybe it will be similar for rand where s3 he's mostly focused on randgwene and randfear and s4 will be a clean slate for him to start properly exploring new romances. we shall see, we shall see!

KHOC Week Day 4 - Dream

(Day 1 - Day 2 - Day 3 - Day 4 - Day 5 - Day 6 - Day 7) ( @khoc-week )

Lamia has nightmares nearly every night, brought on by the curse of darkness in his heart—but lately, he's been having other dreams as well.

He's in the plaza in Radiant Garden, and someone is standing in front of him, asking him something. It's a different person every time he has the dream—Aerith, Arno, his parents, later even Xigbar shows up—and a different question: What do you fight for? What are you most afraid of? What are you most scared to lose? Who do you need to forgive? Deep, philosophical questions that aim at the heart of who he is.

He never knows how to answer. Even when he thinks about it, tries to look inside himself, really consider what he's being asked...no answer comes.

When he tells Xigbar about these dreams, the old man instantly recognizes what they are. Somehow, slowly, Lamia's keyblade is waking up, and he's starting to experience the first halting steps of his Dive into the Heart.

But it's not supposed to be this jumbled or confused, it's not supposed to happen more than once, and it's only supposed to happen around the time a wielder first holds their keyblade. All that could be chalked up to the keyblade not being at full power yet—but also, Lamia's supposed to know the answer to the questions. Is he that disconnected from his own heart, his own sense of self?

One night, what seems like a Dive into the Heart dream turns out to be a particularly nasty nightmare that ends with him plummeting through the air towards a massive stained glass floor. The glass depicts Hollow Bastion under the reign of Maleficent, a ring of Heartless symbols, the curls of smoke that appear with his curse. Major parts of the image are missing, shattered out, including his own face.

And in the center, smiling back at him, is the face of his father.

I know that was a joke post but now I am genuinely curious what Hannibal would want (and be allowed) to have as his last meal.

let me start off by saying this started one place and took a huge turn (sorry) but... this got me thinking. my assumption is he was tried in maryland. maryland abolished the death penalty in 2013, but if he was tried under federal and not state, death penalty is still technically on the table in all 50 states.

unlike other states, maryland does not offer a special last meal to those about to be executed, and they are offered whatever is on the menu at the prison they are residing. i don't think that if he was charged federally it would have necessarily changed his food situation.

given that hannibal was held at bshci, he probably would have had whatever they were serving that day. we saw in s2 with will that it wasn't anything particularly exciting. canned/processed/boxed food. the more gourmet meals he got while imprisoned were definitely due to a special deal he had with alana. it's not directly specified in the show to my knowledge, but pretty sure he got special privileges for helping her and margot. but also if it means hearing him complain less, all the better.

that being said, there is a chance alana would break the maryland tradition and actually offer him a special meal. most requests deny alcohol or tobacco, but again, we're humoring a special meal.

now for the fun part. obviously hannibal wouldn't be given human meat. some inmates in other states asked not only for a meal but to share the meal with someone. and i think hannibal would definitely request to have a last meal with will since the last meal they had together (at least on screen) was the meal before mizumono.

and i think it would be well within the realm for hannibal to want to recreate this meal, maybe even going so far as to ask to make it himself. +/- if alana would allow for that, maybe if everything was precut and he wasn't near anything sharp. if he wanted will to share the meal with him, i'd be curious to see what will would do. he'd know hannibal was on death row, it'd be all over the news, jack would tell him, etc. and i think he would seek out the result of hannibal's trial if he was not sitting in the room as he was sentenced. knowing he indirectly put him there, and i'd place bets on him opening that hand written letter asking for his company one last time and he'd go to see hannibal and share that meal with him. to dine one last time together.

and i wonder how each of them would see it. will never answering if he wanted a sacrifice, yet one now sat across from him. how during the mizumono meal, will said "that'd make this our last supper" to which hannibal responds "of this life" which now truly is the last meal of this life, of hannibal's life. maybe for will, too, in a way. for how good could food taste or sate knowing your conjoined, blurred half is about to die, and that nagging guilt in your chest that it's your fault. and the question of if they could survive separation. and maybe the question was more up in the air when it was possibly hannibal who had to live without him, but now will is faced with the reality that he has to live without hannibal. and in some alternate life it would have been easier to stay with his wife and never see hannibal, but knowing he was alive was enough, and he'd no longer have that crutch.

but hannibal seeing it as almost a redo for before the slaughter in his kitchen. going back to a moment they had some peace, even if brief, life as he knew it was brief now. but still, someone he loved, the only person he loved, sitting across from him eating and drinking wine together. maybe in silence, i don't know. smiles would be exchanged; hannibal's genuinely happy and will's a bit sad. to be so fully and deeply and intimately seen. now there was no running away together anymore. will would leave and hannibal could only hope will would go to his execution.

and i think will would go. i don't know if it would be a "want" situation, but a "need". to see hannibal lecter taken down almost so effortlessly. the unkillable finally killed. the man he couldn't shoot the two times he had a gun in his face, the man he dropped his gun for and let himself be gutted and held by, the man he pulled a knife on and still couldn't take down. ultimately, in a way, will took him down. hannibal surrendered because will rejected him. will didn't need a weapon, he just needed words and a closed off heart. and within minutes, it'd be over.

but what happens after? the remains of inmates not claimed by family get kept in the prison cemetery. hannibal has no family to claim him, will is the closest to family he has. but what if will claims him, then what? will doesn't know what hannibal's final wishes are; to be cremated, buried? maybe he does know without hannibal having to explicitly say. to eat you like the sacrificial lamb you are.

my guess is a body executed via lethal injection (chosen method for maryland) would not be safe to eat. sodium thiopental is a barbituate like the one used for animal euthanasia, but it isn't the part of the "cocktail" that actually causes death. i know animals euthanized (with a different barbituate) and eaten can kill the animal that eats them, so there is a chance eating hannibal could do the same thing. consuming potassium chloride (the deadly part of the injection) in large quantities can cause a lot of side effects/health detriments and in theory, eating enough can cause cardiac failure, but i don't know the oral bioavailabity in comparison to iv.

as romantic as it seems, i don't think will would eat hannibal knowing it could kill him, and tbh, i don't see hannibal wanting will to knowing his death might be imminent. even if it meant being together in the afterlife, that wasn't how will was going to die. like yeah "death only by my hand" but it's not the same. maybe part of will's punishment is having to stay alive without him. i do think hannibal might if the roles were reversed, though.

if will ended up giving hannibal a graveplot (probably unmarked so it doesn't end up desecrated), or even sprinkling his ashes somewhere, i know will would visit him again. maybe not for awhile, maybe denial or anger, but he would go back. i know hannibal said he could never go back to lithuania, so maybe will takes him there and buries him next to mischa so they can be together, finally and forever. maybe he doesn't take him home, knowing how much hannibal stayed away when he was alive. there are a lot of things will could do, tbh.

[mania-sama]

if u don't mind me asking, what is it that makes u prefer kevneil/daysten over andreil? ive never seen someone say that before so im curious! not looking for an argument or anything so don't worry 😅 if u think andreil is terrible or whatever, u can be honest.

thanks so much for sending in an ask!!

Yeah, most people, when it comes to Kevin and his various ships, say that they prefer Kandreil. This, I think, comes from the fact that everyone really likes Andreil the most, and they don't like to separate them for the basis of a Kevin ship. Which is fine for them, but me personally, I just really like Kevneil and don't care much for a poly couple (polyamorous shipping has never been my thing in the first place).

I think my attraction to this ship stems mainly from the fact that Kevin has so much tension with every single character in the cast, so reading him and his interactions from Neil's perspective led me to believe that they would be endgame from the first book. So much so that I would have thought they would have been up until the last book if I had not already been spoiled of the canonical Andreil ending about halfway through reading The Foxhole Court. Neil always speaks of Kevin like he had the biggest crush on him, and it pretty much read as gay subtext for me, what with all of the hiding of identity and skirting of the truth. Kevin, similarly, seemed to me to always look out for Neil in a subtle love and appreciation that only became more apparent as their relationship progressed and they grew to trust each other. The other reason is because I simply don't care as much about Andrew. His story is compelling, but I care a lot more for Kevin and Neil's characters - in both storyline and personalities - than I do for Andrew's.

I also think that Kevin would have been a much better fit for Neil, and vice versa. Andrew is generally a very aggressive person, and although Kevin isn't necessarily calm, I think that Neil should have ended up with someone less volatile to balance out his own intensity and trauma. This isn't to say that I hate Andreil - I'm completely fine with it. I just think Kevneil, in my mind, makes a lot more sense. A part of me still isn't really over the fact that Neil just does not care that Andrew canonically arranged for him to be drugged and sexually assaulted in the book. Like. What. Absolutely deranged behavior. It adds to why I think Kevneil should've been endgame (although I recognize that Kevin was complicit in this arrangement).

(I like to ignore Thea's existence. I do not like her, both for the way Nora doesn't seem to care for writing her and it shows, as well as the fact that she is generally terrible for everything Nora has tried to do with Kevin's character. I genuinely don't know why she's in the story. It almost seems like a way to prevent Kevneil from happening, because I swear on my life that those two have a thousand times more chemistry than Andreil ever did).

Chromakopia is giving me INSANE whiplash. WDYM YOURE GONNA PUT BALLOON RIGHT AFTER LIKE HIM??? WHAT

[sandstormjoneshusband]

I’m always thinking about the implications here. What did martlet end up doing. First of all, she puts in her two weeks very soon after this. She can’t really continue to take advantage of her connection to alphys if she’s severed it. That’s a speedy investigation. Second, did she like, straight up just try to break into the true lab again, like she did when she took the DT? Or did she actually try to question alphys about it directly? What came out of all this?

[eloquentornot]

"Also, who's that?" Two Of Her reference!!! :D :D :D

She doesn't remember her??? At all???

Did she take a memory potion so she wouldn't miss her sister once she was sure she would never see her again?

Or did Cogsmeade False somehow get to her one last time and make her forget so she can't hurt her anymore?

Or maybe she hasn't forgotten really but is just so much in denial about everything that happened?

But what if Empires False... if she came back through the Rift, or if this season is taking place on the Empires world in the future... (Joel making multiple images of Lizzie specifically in Ocean Queen form, the water being weird this season, connection somehow maybe etc???)

What if there was a reunion offscreen? What if they're back to secretly being Two Of Her pretending to be one person, like they were before? What if, to get that old peace back, the False who stayed on Hermitcraft... used more memory potion than ever on the Empires one, made her forget everything she'd done from the first bits of violence to literally all of Empires, and this time didn't leave any gaps for her to realise there was anything she'd forgotten? And...

What if the False who opened the gift... just happened to be... the one depicted on the card she could no longer recognise?
