One Night | Arthur & Aria
"Everyone, my lady. They are, all of them, my father's people. They are all mine to protect."
Arthur's words ran through Aria's head again as she stared across the great hall to where Eilia was seated next to the Emperor. Aria knew the look her on her sisters face, the well practiced Stafford expression that meant to convey no expression at all. Aria had hoped that the Emperor had given up his goal of marrying her sister when he had declared the Staffords bastards but it seemed that would not be the case.
Aria pressed her back against the wall, feeling a bit out of her own skin dressed in the silks and satins Cassandra had insisted she wear when Aria had asked the youngest Varmont princess about attire for the tournament. Aria had never imagined Cassandra would commisson her an entire set of outfits for her to wear for the event. Part of the plan, she'd told herself and Eilia when they'd been delivered to their tiny quarters. It was all part of the plan.
"Eilia should be queen," Aria thought to herself, an often repeated mantra in these past weeks. She watched her sister give Roderick a short response to whatever question he had asked of her. Though the Emperor's face did not show it, Aria imagined he was less than pleased with her limited responses.
"Butcher I may be, but butcher I do not wish to remain."
Aria heard the guard next to her, who had been her near constant companion during the tournaments events, yawn. Aria turned her head slightly so she could just see him out of the corner of her eye.
"I'm not planning on running away if you'd like to go take a nap," Aria informed him. The guard frowned, saying nothing, though he suddenly was adjusting his stance, standing straighter and no longer leaning against the wall as she herself was in that moment. Aria turned her gaze back to the crowd to gauge the reason and was met with Arthur Varmont making his way towards her.
"Eilia should be queen," Aria thought to herself once again as Arthur reached her. Despite herself, she smiled slightly as he approached. It had been today Arthur had finally found himself the champion of the day and Aria had silently reminded herself she shouldn't look too pleased when he finally claimed victory.
"Let me offer you congratulations on your victory today, Imperial Highness," Aria offered, clasping her hands behind her back as she pushed away from the wall, standing up properly to speak with him. The pair had spoken little in the past days with the activities and festivities that had been taking place, but Aria had seen the small white fabric pinned to his surcoat each time he'd entered the tournament grounds. Aria had made a point not to think about why she'd handed him that handkerchief, not to think about how he'd interpreted her gesture. Aria Stafford could not admit that to herself... not yet.
"I am here to do all the good I can."
"Seeing you out there today did make me realize how dearly I miss riding from time to time," Aria mused, suddenly unsure of what more to say. "Tomorrow is to be... a group..." she paused, fumbling for the word. "Melee?" she finally concluded.
Tournaments had been rare in Astaira in the way the Varmonts held them, the country being more prone to festivals that all could partake in. There had been competitions, yes, but wargames had rarely taken place.
#this almost got insanely long but avoiding writing in a bunch of stuff i'll just clarify/spam the comments ;)#i think Aria's been thinking abt what he said after the riots a LOT#back and forth about if he might be good for astaira#if arthur becomes the heir#but always back to Eilia should be the Queen bc there isn't another option#is there?#i had also gone in w/ the assumption their riot convo had ended pretty abruptly after what he told her#and they hadn't spend much time together during her time in the tower thanks to roderick#one night#Arthur varmont

i know it would've been difficult for them to tackle, but it absolutely kills me thinking about the missed opportunities of getting into religious angle of everything that's going on in veilguard.
because it's insane, right? that there are gods in this game. and the game will tell you over and over that they aren't gods, that they're Just Mages, but that's actually not precisely true. they're something very different from what a tevinter magister is, at least, and not only on a power-scale.
powerful spirits are gods in this setting. that was the religion ascribed to by most of humanity, before andraste. the avvar and chasind still ascribe to that belief.
a lot has been said already about how the game fails to engage with belief for dalish characters, and i agree. i think the game also really fails its andrastian characters here though because this is actually huge.
it's not just whether the golden/black city is/was the seat of the maker. it's the very meaning of what god is that's at stake here.
the maker has abandoned humanity. only through the pleas of his prophet andraste is he willing to consider the idea of offering a second chance to his creation. he will not respond to your prayers, and he will not give you answers. his will is inscrutable, to be interpreted only through the words of his prophet which have been changed over the centuries.
and if you are a mage, you are taught that this maker has cursed you. your very being is a curse.
and then you meet elgar'nan. and then you meet ghilan'nain.
they are not your maker. not really. not even if you're an elf.
but these gods are knowable. they will speak to you, personally. they may even do so with kindness. they will tell you what you could do to please them, and even offer you something in return.
and what they ask is terrible. maybe even unfathomable. but in a world where exalted marches have been called in the name of the maker and entire circles annulled, isn't that enough to give you a little pause?
#da4 spoilers#veilguard spoilers#datv spoilers#sorry! feeling a little crazy about it after seeing that post about elgar'nan's faction specific comments#i get that they were never going to go here bc they've made a game where rook can't be tempted/waver even slightly#but man. Man.#that tiny taste of religious crisis that we got with the mural convos is constantly on my mind#there is so much to grapple with here with the very idea of the divine for a character of any religious belief#there is even something here for a dwarf without stone-sense!#your gods are dead because of them. they Killed your gods.#but there is no bringing them back either!#they are cruel and they are evil. but what if they could restore a fraction of what you have lost? what would you do if they offered?

I feel like we as a society need to acknowledge the media literacy every fan of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein goes through.
Which goes in this order:
-Victor is a monster for what he did/The Creature is the victim.
-The Creature is a monster for what he did/Victor is the victim.
-The Creature AND Victor are simultaneously victims of their circumstances.
-The Creature and Victor are both perpetrators and both show incredible entitlement that ruins the lives of victims around them. You cannot excuse either characters actions no matter how much you empathize with them.
#really tired of the woobification of The Creature#he was not innocent guys please#One of my friends once said “The Creature is an incel“ and I haven’t forgotten that take#mary shelly's frankenstein#frankenstein#This isn’t to be a Victor apologist either yawl#I love both of them but they’re so incredibly toxic#tired of the lack of literacy abt the book tbh.#anyways I love the book sm#open to convo in the comments on this please guys#classic literature#gothic literature#literature#media analysis

thank you to @latriviata and our comment thread conversation, about where to put Tedesco after the Lamb to the Slaughter au is over.
I suppose it's in the nature of having one random idea, then trying to spin into an alternate universe purely on thread of thought, that I fully know Tedesco's exact fate, but not what exactly happens to Vincent during and immediately after the assassination attempt made on him.

I feel very bad for people who genuinely believe that they don’t need anyone and that they would get along just fine without any sort of close human connection like.. you poor fool. You don’t realize how the people you’ve let into your life have shaped you. And it’s always someone who HAS people in their circle that like to BRAG about not needing anyone in their circle! Lose all your friends and THEN tell me how you would “be just fine” without anyone. I hear someone say that and it comes off as a cry for help to me. Your life sucks. You have no idea what it truly means to see yourself in someone. To see them in you. What is so cool about not needing anyone. Where is the vulnerability. In this one singular life that you get, why not actually be fuckin authentic for once.
#I had a convo with someone and I said a friend was like my other half#and they go#oh I’m complete by myself#you poor poor person lol#if that’s how you interpret what I meant#then I’m not sure you ever had a close connection in your life#as if your identify hasn’t been shaped by the connections you’ve made LOLLK#as if people that have come and gone in your life don’t still live somewhere inside of you#you just created you alllllll on your own huh lol no ones help#it’s love that got you to where you are RIGHT NOW makin this dumbass comment in front of me lol

hello my loves! i've been having this conversation on my main rp blog for a few days now, and so i decided to bring it here and have it with you guys too. before we go any further, please respect one another in the comments, this is just a little conversation about our thoughts and opinions!
so i've been on tumblr since 2015, meaning i've seen a lot of different eras in the rpc here! and it occurred to me that even back in 2018/2019, things in the rpc felt a LOT easier! we had dash events, group verses, people seemed to find it much easier to interact with their mutuals, we were a lot more relaxed about out absences and just generally seemed a lot happier and more of a community!
my question is this: do you think the rpc was better in the past? and if so, what do you miss specifically? what do you think needs to change for the rpc to be more of a community?
#ooc.#( not rp related )#( feel free to use the inbox or the comments!! )#( and feel free to reblog so we can expand the convo! )

Im curious - how long have you known Qiqi was gonna be the one to drop the g-word to the gang? was that planned since the beginning or did that happen whilst writing the chapter? it was such an amazing speech i loved it, imo it was the perfect was to reveal it, because lets be real Zhongli is too modest to list off all his titles like that.
ALSO her being like “dont call him Morax its rude >:(“ was just so ahhhh!!!
that was planned from the start yeah, i usually have a couple of scenes written ahead of time and either work up to them or find somewhere to slot them in, depending on what's going on. the qiqi rex lapis rant was of the bunch that had its space reserved so to speak
#off the top of my head#the zl childe convo of like. you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. the soup bit#that was pre-planned#zl's little monologue during the reveal to the qingce chen disciples. like from the moment he apologizes to guizhong to the gang crying#that was also planned#zl's contract w qiqi of course that was also in my notes for forever#that bit of zl is the god of contracts and of promises that's towards the start of the qingce chen reveal chapter#under the deaths section#also planned#the smiling bit around the visit to frost manor; the flashback to his world's hu tao. planned#i had the og farce reveal scene written out but i ended up scrapping it for this chapter and the next since it no longer fit#i also have a bit about zl's duty to liyue but im pretty sure it's not making it in#since it's kinda getting baked into the entire fic so. might post it here if anyone wants it#along with the list of everything zl got wrong that i think someone asked for in the comments way back#anyway uh#yeah!

Cloud Recesses was much as he remembered, silent and still beneath a layer of new snow. Pristine and untouched and icily perfect. He… no longer cared for it. Home was loud and boisterous and water lapping the shore and the scent of lotus flowers and dark hair curled around his fingers. Something much more alive. But. It was nice to see snow again. And to share it. Lan Wangji took three steps in the snow, paused, listened.
The telltale crunch of smaller steps behind him, a muffled giggle. Snowflakes caught in his lashes as he kept his gaze steadfastly forward. He took another four steps, purposefully lengthening his stride.
“No fair!”
Lan Yuan’s squeal was as muffled as the white world around them, a far cry from their home in Lotus Pier. When Jiang Cheng had first suggested the visit to Cloud Recesses, Lan Wangji had been suitably uncertain. He had left on less than ideal terms with his uncle and brother and he’d been under the impression that his return would be unwelcome. Even now, returned to Gusu Lan for a conference, he was treated with the characteristic chill politeness due to a sect leader’s spouse who did not act in any political capacity.
But perhaps he should have insisted on accompanying Jiang Cheng to the private meeting with both Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen…? Unsupervised, it was sure to end badly. But he trusted Wanyin.
Lan Wangji turned sharply, catching A’Yuan in the act of attempting his yet unmastered qinggong, four year old A’Ling stumbling along in his wake and trying to use Lan Wangji‘s footsteps as a path.
But the moment he reached the point where the steps grew too far apart, Lan Wangji swooped the boy up. Taking his a distraction as an opportunity, A’Yuan leaped on his back. With A’Ling squirming like an excited puppy in his arms and a gangly A’Yuan hanging around his neck, Lan Wangji swung them around.
He remembered the rules carved into the Wall of Discipline, knew that he should count himself as an offender multiple times over for just this simple act of playing with his sons—but they were alone and he had left his inhibitions in the icy rooms of the Jingshi long ago when Jiang Cheng had come to claim him as his given-groom.
A’Yuan’s skinny arms tightened around his neck. “I’ve got you!” the boy cried.
With a near-silent huff of laughter, Lan Wangji dropped to his knees, pretending to be dragged down by force. The boys fell full-body into the snow, their laughter shattering the stillness like glass. Struggling out of the snow they ambushed him again, both immediately trying to bury him in the drift.
It was this tableau that welcomed Jiang Cheng as he approached on the stone path. Lan Wangji gave his husband a once-over, noting his unscathed form and his calm composure, a unlooked for miracle to come out of the meeting with the clan leaders.
Jiang Cheng stood calmly with his hands laced behind his back. “It appears you are losing the war, Hanguang-jun,” he said, one brow lifting mockingly. “The hero of the Sunshot Campaign, brought low by two urchins. How the mighty have fallen—”
His mouth was stopped by Lan Wangji’s unerringly aimed snowball.
#mdzs#zhancheng#lan wangji#lan sizhui#jin ling#jiang cheng#my writing#i wanted some fluffies and this has been sitting in my drafts for several months now#I’ve had time or energy to do any writing recently but I NEEDED to finish this#inspired by some comment from a convo with @limitbreaker23 💕

I'm at this weird halfway point where I agree that the show shouldn't have made Rand OP from the beginning, but on the opposite end we run into problems where he isn't as powerful rn as he should be. Namely, that he hasn't had a raging sun equivalent.
And I do like what they've done with Rand's channeling so far. He channels more like a Forsaken, can handle more weaves and can channel more precisely than most, and has had several powerful channeling moments that were destructive. They just weren't explosive/showcasing him as the Dragon. He needed something to show the world his potential rather than a few people I think is the general consensus
#i think taking away tarwin's gap away from him is the root of this problem#and i get why they did it but yeah#well that and I think they're trying too hard to give the rest of the cast something to do when rand did everything in the book#so he's left with nothing#the purpose of this post was not to shit on 2x08 so i will stop#this post is brought to you by twitter convos#anyway i do actually have faith that s3 will directly address this since his powers will he increasing#wheel of time#wot book spoilers#rand al'thor#no overly negative comments on this please cause i do actually like this show

its taking all of my restraint to not just post the whole fucking conversation but they really are so dear to me. this whole scene is soooooo… like for inigo its everything he definitely needed to hear but never got to and for chrom its just kind of that full circle moment of making peace not only with his son but also his own self as someone who is slowly coming to terms with his weaknesses as a ruler (like his anger and his brashness—which inigo also has!) and how he projected his feelings of inadequacy onto inigo and is slowly making up for that. GOD. chrom inigo father son bonding hours. IM EMO
#ann plays awakening#i think about them so much#this scene is definitely a top five fire emblem convo#but. if u can believe it its only my second favorite future past convo. lmao#BUT i do think its one of the best and it just does so much for both of them i think its really really great#i think inigo in particular has a lot of really good conversations in the future past#some pairings u can tell the writers were grasping at straws but i feel like inigo is pretty consistent across the board#but i think with chrom its just. the way they can tie in the pc support and how that went down and kind of expand on the comparisons between#inigo and lucina is SO good#and theres just no other natural way to do that in the other convos bc why would they bring up lucina when inigo is DYING#even if they make the comparison in the pc support (which not every dad does but most do)#anyways#i think its great and i’ll gush about it forever and ever#the we look alike comment is really funny when inigo is a whole different shade than his dad tho 😭 like no you dont#well thats not true. i still see it. the hair obviously but the nose and mouth are decently similar#i’ll be honest though i do think there are other non canon parent child combos that look MORE similar than these two#(two of which i have. been recently emo about. lol) but i still think drawing attention to that similarity in the game is super fun#i like to think that inigo’s hairstyle was his attempt at replicating chrom’s but since he never really knew chrom#he only had old paintings to go off of most of which had been destroyed or were just too old#so its a LIIIITTLE off#and then by the time hes laslow hes kind of over it and lets it grow out#is laslow’s hair a lot longer than inigo’s or is it just me. i dont know.#im plagued with EMOTION man
