one interesting aspect of percy and rachel's relationship that isn't often highlighted is how empathetic percy must have been toward rachel about seeing through the mist as a small child. because percy was the kid who saw a man with one eye stalking him at the local playground. the kid who saw a horse with wings resting atop the roof of a nearby building. the kid who was nearly killed by a fury disguised as his algebra teacher. and the kid who understood what if felt like to distrust the world around him, to be reprimanded for falling victim to the fear that accompanied it. if it was anything that percy offered rachel. it was the grace of understanding a uniquely mortal experience.
#i hold their friendship so near to my heart#it was such a pure and honorable and necessary connection between two scared teenagers#and what a shame it is that now is categorized soley as an obstacle to percabeth#i would seriously love to see these two have a healthy and productive interaction#something that feels reminiscent of their past but mature in light of their present#these two definately deserve it#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo text post#pjo#pjo headcanon#percy jackson#rachel elizabeth dare#these two were adorable#it may not have been romantic#but maybe it didn't need to be#maybe all it had to be was good

thinking so so hard about vivienne's defensive reactions to dorian and cassandra trying (and failing) to comfort her over bastien's passing. chewing on it. thinking about her inability to talk about bastien, even to an inquisitor when the player tries to talk to her about him.
and then her banter with blackwall, who is one of the companions she has a mostly negative dynamic with, yet it is him and not dorian or cassandra that she responds kindly to.
blackwall doesn't dance around it or try to lessen the blow of bringing it up like dorian and cassandra do, and i think she appreciates that directness. she still doesn't open herself up to him, though. she is so,,, agh
#dai#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#vivienne#vivienne de fer#dorian pavus#cassandra pentaghast#bastien de ghislain#dorian's phrasing of “your friend” also ticks something in my brain due to how he had to treat his relationships with own partners in the#past. he couldn't be open about loving them and maybe he tried to give vivienne a bit of an out to presenting his condolences in the same#way. but vivienne is openly bastien's mistress. everyone knew. its why she has her position at court- to deny her connection#to bastien and limiting it to friendship must of grated on her bad#and then with cassandra vivienne initally seems open to talking about bastien but then immediately shuts it down when cassandra#goes to presumably ask if vivienne is okay. shes okay talking about bastien but not her own emotions around bastien passing#chewing on her

in regards to orym only admitting how badly he's struggling to dorian/always reaching for the sending stone instead of his current party members, I suspect it's because dorian's not with the team right now, and therefore he's not someone orym feels he needs to be strong for. orym has been told he's the moral center of his party numerous times (ashton has even admitted to him that this isn't fair! but it's still how he's perceived) in addition to being a keep-a-stiff-upper-lip-and-support-your-friends kind of guy. if he cracks, he's got to be afraid that's going to have a ripple effect on the stability of the group. so of course he's going to reach out to the one party member he doesn't feel he has to support, where it won't effect the larger dynamics of the group, who also happens to be someone who is removed from/untouched by the kind of trauma and heartbreak the party has been dealing with and feels more connected to a past that was kinder. dorian is the ideal candidate for orym to open up to emotionally, well beyond any shipping lenses
#not that i think him opening up to the group would actually have a bad group effect but I do believe that ORYM believes that#dorian is just the safest option and the one that connects him to a past that was better than the present#that's kind of it#cr spoilers#critical role#orym#bells hells

Tbh, I'm kind of obsessed with the almost tragedy of Eiland and Caldarus in Fields of Mistria. Eiland's dedicated his life to uncovering the secrets and stories hidden in Mistria's archeology - he's single-mindedly devoted to it, so much so that even his side hobbies are influenced by his love of history and desire to know more about Mistria's but it's that devotion that makes him so blind to the magic right in front of him.
It's Eiland's sharp eye that sees Caldarus' statue behind that tree on the farm. It's Eiland who whacks away at the bark with the axe fruitlessly until he's assisted. It's Eiland who coaxes the player to help repair Caldarus' statue and subtly ropes them into joining his History Society. It's Eiland who is devoted to the steles, who gets so excited at the prospect at uncovering a new piece of old Mistria's puzzle that he cuts his outing short to rush to the museum. It's Eiland who realises that all of the different eras of artefacts dug up in Mistria's soil must mean that Mistria itself was once the cradle of civilisation for Aldaria.
And yet, with all of that knowledge, he's still so, so blind to what's right in front of him. He doesn't realise that Juniper is a witch, he merely knows that she is familiar with all manner of the arcane and assumes it's a scholarly pursuit like his instead of what it actually is - Juniper's lifestyle, Juniper's culture. And ultimately, I think that's why he's blind to Caldarus and the magic right in front of him.
Eiland isn't taking the time to stop and really think about what all these artefacts and armaments mean. He isn't considering that remnants of old Mistria still live, he isn't even able to grapple with the question of whether or not it's right for him to dig up the armour at the stele when it's clearly hidden there for a reason. Eiland is completely detached from the history he's searching for and that's why, even with magic and the truth about Mistria right in front of him, he'll remain blind to it.
#ginger rambles#fom eiland#fom caldarus#fom juniper#There is a very very fascinating thing in Mistria about duality#And Eiland is playing contrast to at least three people#He's the dreaming to Adeline's realism#He's the theory to Juniper's practice#And he's the scientific distance to Caldarus' magical intimacy specifically wrt Mistria as a living breathing land#I think he's very charming but he's so out of his depth that I also think of him as very tragic#Adeline at least has both her feet on the ground - she's connected to Mistria's present in a way Eiland will never be connected#to Mistria's past#And it hurts because all Eiland wants is to know#He craves that knowledge and to uncover the mysteries for a completely purehearted reason#Again contrasting Juniper who came to Mistria fully intent on scraping it for magic she could add to her own power#He's sincere but he's blind#And whenever Caldarus gets returned to a physical body#I'm extremely interested to see how they will interact with each other#fields of mistria#ginger chats about mistria

The 7th
When the Wizard explained to Billy about his powers he forgot to mention that the Champion of Magic had a seventh patron who would manifest in his greatest moments of need. Although this one did not count as "official" since he was not exactly sharing his powers like the others.
So it's understandable that Billy would freak out at the new voice in his head telling him to steal a sandwich from one of the rude people on the subway.
Billy tried to argue with the voice about it since his parents had taught him all about good and evil but it had been a few days since his conversation with the Wizard Shazam and it had been weeks since his last decent meal other than leftovers. The Sandwich was packed and its owner wasn't paying attention, one little slip and he would have something in his stomach.
Solomon was very upset with the new voice, he was fully aware of who was talking and thought that he had left after the disaster with Adam but apparently the Ghost King had taken an interest in "The New Champion", Solomon had suspicions that it was because Billy was a kid.
The new voice introduced himself as "Phantom", he argued a lot with Solomon, didn't seem to have any moral and Zeus always muttered about his older brother's annoying best friend whenever he manifested. The boy did not know who the new God was but at least he gave good life advice. Or he liked to think so.
Phantom had many arguments with the other immortals, Hercules complained about his friendship with Kronos (which the boy found worrying but decided not to comment), Salomon about his recklessness, Atlas and Achilles bothered him constantly and Mercury kept challenging him to races. But it seemed that thanks to him everyone had become interested not only in helping Captain Marvel but also Billy!
Phantom even had a lot of good advices on being a young hero or keeping his secret from the League and for the first time since he got his powers Billy didn't feel so lost.
#dpxdc#prompt#Danny is like his mentor#he take care of Billy#the kid remind him of his past self#ghost king danny#he is considered the god of all death#because of the realms#and is Hades BFF#Apparently Sam liked talking with Persephone and present him to Hades#Zeus is just grumpy because Phantom prefer his older brother AND dad before him#dp x dc#dc x dp#Danny got interested because Billy is a kid#he disconnected from the other champions before#too old or wise#they didn't take his teen voice seriously#Danny is the reason the Champions of Magic are almost immortal in that form#and can manage all the magic inside their body#the rock is also connected to the realms#danny phantom#shazam#captain marvel#dc x dp prompt#billy batson

alright i know lots of folks don’t love the chaos redesign and some folks are saying they look like meg which like i get, esp with the singular wing but to me? they look like Nyx. they look like they molded their new appearance in the image of their daughter, who they’ve recently reconnected with after aeons of separation. like they have not just emotionally become more the parent of Nyx, but physically mirrored this parenthood, this embodied connection, by choice
(this relationship which they’ve now lost, leaving them alone, again)
(until a certain princess of the dead arrives)
#hades 2#hades early access#hades 2 spoilers#listennnnnn it’s about the STORYTELLING#like i do prefer the aesthetic of the first chaos design but#i think the second one has much more interesting visual storytelling#not just that they remind me of nyx more#but holding their dead former image that’s also growing (?) a fetus#literally holding both past and present in the palm of their hands#like this design really emphasizes that whole chronos may be the titan of time#godly domains aren’t necessarily singular#and chaos#is timeLESS#they are beyond the bounds of reality that chronos exists by#this is also super interesting to connect with melinoë#bc they’re some in game dialogue from hecate and even chronos himself#talk about melinoës ability to resist chrono’s time control#as likely a recessive gene sort of deal#and they don’t say it explicitly but like! chaos is the originator of all life! it could be from chaos!!#this doesn’t even get into chaos’s whole plot line with the fates but that’s kind of late game and also i haven’t finished it yet lol#(though I don’t think it’s a complete plot like yet idk)#ANYWAY#love this game love supergiant

S5 opener REAL
#byler#will byers#stranger things#every season besides s4-5 opens with non main characters#for el we got a flashback of the lab followed by her perspective in the scene directly after#and I think for Will we will see something similar#with us getting the flashback of him in castle byers in the UD#followed by him in the present in the scene after#but what exactly would warrant that memory being brought up in association with Will in the present?#mayhaps his connection to the mindflayer and the UD run deeper than we realize…#it’s likely not something he could just rid himself of in s2 and now he’s all good#he literally still feels a connection to everything he is feeling#that means he is still technically at risk of being the spy in some capacity#the massacre at Hawkins lab also was a guiding force for El discovering the ‘truth’ in s4#so it’s likely for Will this instance will operate in a way that re-contextualizes the events in the past up to now#like that time Will suggested they go to the hospital in s3 only for the flayed to be waiting for them#or how flayed Billy knew they were at the cabin…#all while Will was looking cryptic as hell in that scene watching over el#or the fact that he picked Billy in the first place the season after he focused on Will…#you know.. williams#I think the easiest way to introduce the castle Byers flashback is a dream honestly#specifically a dream within a dream#seeing that recent leak and Will looking like either he has a black or hasn’t slept in days#is giving very much ‘I am afraid to sleep bc I’m scared of what will happen’#I think dude is not exactly possessed in the sense that we already saw in s2 with like the particicles#but he’s still vulnerable#the door is still ajar…#no but fr this idea of opening a door in your mind was so blatant in st2 AND s3b of teen wolf#I think a big part of it will be guilting Will over the fact that Will has helped him before without Will telling the others#hence his weird vibe in s3… like he’s already successfully fucked with Will post s2 potentially with us being none the wiser aka here we go

It's interesting just how telling the characters' moods are just by looking at their eyes alone
Sua is passive, and distant, seemingly in a daydream. Ivan is stoic but resolved, Till has an angry sort of look, and Mizi looks determined
But something that I find even more interesting, Is that Sua, Ivan and Till are all their past selves. The people they were minutes before their respective rounds. but Mizi is the only one in her present form. is this because she was the first to make it out of Alien stage? or is this because she will be the only one to make it out of Alien stage at the end of it all? Just a thought.
#Or....another thought is it because everyone BUT mizi is stuck in the past? Sua is quite literally stuck#she died on the first round#Till is stuck on the Mizi he knew before they enrolled into alien stage#and Ivan is stuck on Till because of their shared past and connection#But Mizi? she's in the present and fighting against her past for a new her#i'd like to think so#alien stage#alien stage till#alien stage ivan#alien stage sua#alien stage mizi#alnst ivan#alnst till#alnst#alnst mizi#alnst sua#also curious as to why hyuna and luka arent there#everyone but mizi also has ethereal lighting#like theyre dead and in heaven#sua specifically#while mizi is more shaded to say

Now I Know
If I knew then what I know now
Would it have changed a thing?
Surely some scenes would've altered
At least in an infinitesimal way
Sensing the silence to come
Perhaps I would've said much more
The weight of the unsaid drags down
Shallow water can still drown
A dizzying difference going from soaring
Above the birds and beyond the stars
To face down heart-sore on the ground
Ever earthbound, buried by the past
It couldn't last but why not longer
Wish I was stronger but I feel bleakly weak
Nebulous navel-gazing doesn't do it for me
I miss what used to be but more than that
I miss the one I love, as is, even now
Moving from my reach steadily
Every version will always call out to me
Embedded deep, intrinsically
No coldness could put out this flame
If I knew then what I know now
I'd do it all the same
Prompts: the silence to come; nebulous navel-gazing; above the birds

a piece for my art history class [tags for info]
#GAHRG im so normal about this one#the theme was “i am great” and we had to basically boost our ego while in the style of an artistic avant garde#i chose art nouveau for this piece :]#i make art because it connects me to humanity past present and future#making art is in humanity's instict. i am a result of all that people knowledge practices and moments#and that i represent with the “cosmic” theme. its the universe#the universe loves me and i love the universe#theres a lot of symbolism as well. narcissus flowers are the most obvious#the laurel wreath and the peacock feathers represent pride and glory#theres a total of 9 white stars in the piece a number considered the “perfect” number for being the highest digit#and some ivy at the top to bring it all together “connection”#this piece ended up being very important to me. i printed it out and have it framed in my room lol#yeag#my art#illustration#digital art#artists on tumblr

OH MY GOD. I JUST REALIZED WHY THE NAME "THREE WISHES" SOUNDED SO FAMILAR TO ME.
youtube
YEAH. THAT.
So, back when I was a little kid, I watched the Treehouse TV channel RELIGIOUSLY. And one of the shows they showed there was Hi-5.
And this song...my god, this song. The chorus has been stuck in my head for a long time. It's just so freakin' catchy!
I thought I'd locked it away, but when Splatoon 3 announced that the Now or Never Seven's song for Grand Festival was called "Three Wishes", I immediately thought, "That name sounds oddly familar..."
And JUST NOW, my mind suddenly sang something that made me connect all the dots.
"You get three wishes/What will they be?/Three wishes/One, two, three!"
HI-5. OF ALL PLACES. IT WAS HI-5 THAT I HAD HEARD THAT SONG NAME FROM.
This is...INSANE. To think that Splatoon would actually remind me of something from my own goddamn past JUST BY THE SONG TITLE ALONE...I wish I was joking. I'm at loss here.
Now I really wanna see someone make the Now or Never Seven sing Hi-5's Three Wishes, or artwork of them in Hi-5's outfits. God, that would be a trip.
If you ask me, though...
youtube
...the Now or Never Seven song is better.
#alterrambles#i cannot believe i made this connection#hi-5 and splatoon of all things#how the fuck did i even do that?!#splatoon 3#splat3#splatoon#grand festival#grand fest splatoon#past vs present vs future#hi-5#now or never seven#hi-5 three wishes#splatoon 3 three wishes#three wishes

Sort of a distant tangent off my post about Ashton, but I'm growing more and more suspicious of the fandom claim that there's no time for small RP moments in Campaign 3. I do think that it's been challenging to get deeper party bonding or serious conversations that aren't about the big philosophical questions they're facing, since those do take much more time; but then I think about Calamity, or Candela Obscura. I can genuinely give you at least a couple paragraphs about pretty much every relationship in the two Circles, or in the Ring of Brass. I can also point to no shortage of small moments between characters in the Mighty Nein Aeor or Vox Machina Vecna endgame episodes, which were all extremely plot-heavy and fast-paced, and D20 consistently nails character relationships in a fraction of the time.
I think it really does come down to, as Brennan Lee Mulligan always says, the character creation phase. Laying down a solid groundwork in which everyone has a detailed, rich backstory and sense of personality and relationship history (in the case of characters who knew each other prior to the start of the series) is absolutely crucial, and even in the case of characters who don't know each other before going in, a good amount of time spent in character creation ensures that it's easier for them to develop those interpersonal relationships on the fly. I know in actual play there's some degree of finding the character as you play, but there are games for which there is a very short runway, and I don't think it ever hurts to do more extensive character prep than the bare minimum. And if there are gaps, I think it also helps to go back and fill those in mid-way, away from the table - Travis clarifying Chetney's backstory being a great example that allowed the history of Chetney and Deanna to feel realized and full, despite only a few episodes.
I'll also be blunt: most of the time when people complain that there aren't moments because the plot keeps moving...they're mad about shipping. Which has always rung hollow to me. It was a common complaint in C2, that no time was taken for character relationships, despite them taking an entire half of an episode for the Beauyasha date and despite no shortage of moments for all three of the other couples (and plenty of platonic moments between friends). The issue was never a lack of time; it was that the characters they wanted to talk to each other didn't actually have the relationship in canon that the fans had dreamed up, and so, when the chips were down, they went to other people.
It takes two seconds to say something like "I hold their hand", even in the middle of plot-heavy adventuring. If someone doesn't say it, it's rarely the GM rushing them; it's the player either choosing not to do so, or not remembering to do so, and either of those is quite revealing regarding how the player feels about that relationship and where it stands in their priorities.
#i've felt this for a while but like. fundamentally? C3 is just...uniquely not set up for terribly satisfying shipping#even the ships I do like and that get small moments are relatively background#like 80% of quote unquote ship content is like. fanon goggles overlaying either parallel play or standard battle mechanics#which is fine! I think it's a different vibe and approach than the past 2 campaigns#i think especially in character creation; self-insert or easy for new players (c1)#followed by Morally Gray Campaign; Prove We Can Replicate This Success; Serious Characters (C2); followed by Let's Get Silly With It (C3)#which is less conducive to that profound connection of c1 or c2. which is not a bad thing!#but god. if you complain about the D&D show having too much d&d plot and not enough romance...yeah pal it's d&d not a dating sim#like I enjoy when there is romance in my fantasy but it's not a requirement. there is a genre full of romance. it is called romance.#i'm also thinking about this bc I need to watch wot s2 but i've been told that the fandom has gotten weird#like wow so moiraine/siuan is not the A plot? in a high fantasy Good vs. Evil series? WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT.#getting back to this...i'm also thinking about my own life and like. i moved to where i live not long pre-lockdown#and so i'm finding myself a resident of this area for 4+ years but with weaker connections than i'd have otherwise. and that's fine!#but psychologically i feel so weird about just starting to find my place bc it's been so long even though there's a good reason#and i wonder if the cast/Hells feels the same way ie why are we only just bonding now 70 eps in and so they're hesitant#that I Waited Too Long And Now It's Awkward feeling; that I Should Be Past This By Now fallacy#which. again. i think things early on could have been done differently but that time is past you need to live in the present now.#cr tag
