It genuinely frustrates me when people ship character’s with their abuser.

Particularly when the character’s entire storyline is about escaping an abusive relationship.

Particularly when the abusive relationship was founded on grooming.

Particular when the ship only exists because the reader thinks the abuser is hot, and is using the protagonist as a self-insert.

I don’t attack people over what they ship, I never have and I never will, you can ship those kind of fictional ships if you want, no, seriously, go ahead, I won’t stop or judge you, but I am asking you to be aware. Be aware that they’re unhealthy. Be aware that the ship you like was never going to be “endgame” by the author. Be aware that you have no right to bully or belittle anyone who doesn’t ship what you ship, particularly if it’s abusive. Just be aware. That’s all.

billford and darksight have the same vibes ngl

I think one of the biggest red flags every (or a general sign of illiteracy) is when people say something like "how they wished Darkstalker and Clearsight could've worked out in the end." Sweetie, the entire point of their relationship was that it was horrible from the start. Did it seriously take you until Darkstalker started killing dragons and talking about taking over the world to think that maybe it wasn't a good relationship? Even before the earring and all, he was still pretty possessive and controlling. Their entire relationship was Clearsight basically trying to avoid the extremely obvious futures where Darkstalker turned out to be a genocidal maniac. She was holding out for the idealized version of Darkstalker. That was the dragon she loved the most.

It was never good. It was an abusive relationship. Trying to deny it is pretty much ignoring the entire point. A tragedy in all sense of the word, with Clearsight trying so, so hard to avoid the inevitability that was Darkstalker's fate.

So, I got somewhat inspired by @dcartcorner 's drawings, especially there reset: elsewhere AU, and also all of their many artworks centered around the "evil old men" group, Elias, Simon, etc. So this is a bit of fluff, particularly coming from thinkin' about this painting.

AO3 Link

Just a note, this is mostly fluff:

~

Elias looked down at his gifts and thought.

Peter had been taking far too many lessons from Maxwell. Too many. Whenever Elias had a gallery show or a library event, any sort of fundraiser really, Maxwell always tried to keep in touch and send some present, and this was no different. Always some piece of jewelry, black beaded and fillagreed, sitting sweet and innocent in it’s box with a card saying “for your love of knowlege.” And the pendant would sit in it’s jewelry box all innocent, an open eye, but as soon as he went to put it on, the eye would swing closed with gravity. Cufflinks, bracelets, it was the same every time.

(Really, this was no different, with the pendant of polished warm rose gold with a fringe of jet, jet and pale glass beads worked into the chain.)

And here was a little cardboard box from Peter, A lovely scarf, silkscreen printed with a crisp pattern of eyes, but of course they were tiny, so a few steps away and it just looked like a swathe of near to white fog to wrap around his neck. The scarf was broad, though silky, and it spread back out again when he let go of it with his fist. The card: “To reveal what is beautiful and conceal what is not.”

Elias 's eye squinted under his glasses and he whispered "Note: is Maxwell's humor catching?"

But if it was contagious, he knew to keep looking. And there was the second box from both of them, Max and Peter. And the little round tins of tea and coffee, only slightly chilled in the indoor air, made up for a lot.

And of course, the card had a little "to be continued" pointing towards the back. "Kidding, this hides what only Simon and Peter should see."

(anyway, hope everyone is having a nice season!)

darkstalker legends is so castles crumbling coded i do not believe i need to elaborate

[incorporeal-entity]

You know I am not that into shipping but crack ships on the other hand are way more funny and entertaining.

But if you close your eyeeees, this is almost feels like nothing changed at all~

Most unpopular opinion in wof fandom: Sunstalker is the most criminally underrated ship. You have no idea how funny their dynamic is.

[quiverpaw]

one thing about me is that i love tierlists. discuss my animals

[wings-of-fire-confessions]

ultimate ship confession lets go (well not really but here's what i think):

cleril: isn't in a great place right now, but it has potential to be good. i like them a little more platonically. people need to stop ignoring peril's character development omg.

glorybringer: i'm too tired to care at this point. this has been debated to death. 

blacier: it's kind of cute (well, the fandom version is; canon is more toxic and that's less of my thing. good for you if you like that though). no strong opinions.

jamapple: POSSIBLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHIPS 💖💖💖💖 they got their spotlight in OND BOOK and that's all they needed to win me over. the flashback to them snuggling in the hammock????? MY HEARTTTTT 💕💕💕💕💞

mastermind x chameleon: i have seen this shipped maybe twice. and i can't get it out of my head. it's just so interesting to me.

winter x kinkajou: wait...... maybe? a part of me thinks they could be cute, but most of me says pass.

ripnami: somewhat has potential; is currently very boring and questionable. i'm not against tsunami having a love interest, but i'm loosing faith in riptide. riptide i KNOW you can become interesting please do literally anything before you bore me to death.

lunatail: they're adorable together!!! obsessed with them omg. people need to talk about them more (for my sake).

clearsight x sunstreak: no opinions; seems fine. i feel like most of the people who hate this ship hate it because they wanted clearsight and darkstalker to get together. which. 🤨

moonbli: it's just okay. a little cute, slightly bland. could get better as they develop their relationship.

quinter: i normally love these types of dynamics, but i'm not interested in quinter? no idea why. i guess like them more platonically.

sunnyflight: uhhh no. don't like this one. i think sunny kindly shutting starflight down and him being okay with that is very refreshing.

whiteout x thoughtful: i feel like people forget about them a lot..... and i can see why. i really think it's cute how they're both artists, but they just don't have much momentum.

glacier x boa: i find this one is more compelling than blacier. glacier crying when she heard boa's backstory... girl me too.

smolder x thorn: i started to appreciate this one so much more when i read smolder's section in the guidebook. that man was a sopping wet disaster. hope they're happy together. i really like them.

sunnyspeaker: seems very cute! no strong opinions. i'd feel a little bad for starflight lmao.

mangrove x orchid: 💖💖💖💖💖💖 I LOVE THEM AND I NEED TO KNOW HOW THEY'RE DOING.

anemone x tamarin: anemone SERIOUSLY needs a good influence, so i think tamarin would be good for her. i'm very curious and i want to see their relationship develop.

winterwatcher: ehhhhhh. i can see the vision, but the vision isn't for me.

scarlet x burn: no. love LOOSES 🔥🔥🔥 the only love for burn is BLOODSHED.

starspeaker: it's cute. that's it. idk. i used to not like them together, but now i think they're fine.

sunlow: 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 THEMMMM!!!! the flashback to their first meeting had me giggling and kicking my feet.

darksight: no. their relationship was very interesting and complex and well written, but from a shipping standpoint??? no way in HELL.

kinkajou x moon: it's cute! no strong opinions. stuck between whether i would like them more as friends or lovers.

clearsight x listener: fun to entertain, but i like them better as friends. if clearsight stayed on pyrrhia, listener would've turned her into a wine mom and they would gossip.

lynxfall: no strong opinions. they're both gay as hell and seem right for each other, but i'm just not really interested. again, no idea why.

anemone x pike: i DO like the bodyguard trope... but anemone x tamarin has more potential in my eyes.

blicket: kind of a guilty pleasure for me....... YES it was rushed but they're really cute this each other. luna imagining that wedding tapestry of them...... melting my heart.

umber x qibli: sounds cute. i like the idea of umber crushing on qibli and then finding someone else though.

turtlejou: meh. has a little potential, but is mostly boring to me. i appreciate how kinkajou was honest with turtle about her feelings at the end.

blister x morrowseer: idk. if they were married i think they would try to poison kill each other 24/7.

carnelian x moon: ehhhh, not for me. i don't like it that much. maybe because carnelian is kind of an eh character to me (SORRYYY i know a lot of you guys are carnelian girlies).

fathom x indigo: glad they got a happy ending. wish we got to see them interact a liiiiiiiiitle more, but i like them.

pertle: no. they're besties and you can't change my mind.

snowfall x sky: thought about this one for a while...... but..... ehhhhhhhhhhhhh...... no.

coral x blister: no.

jambringer: again, very fun to entertain; i can see the vision. but i can't abandon the jamapple ship 😤

arcticslayer: probably one of the most realistic relationships in the book. very conflicted about them. i think they were more attracted to the ideas of each other. maybe.

ok i KNOW there's more ships but i'm cutting it off here because this is getting long. also i haven't read the winglets so idk what's going on over there.

if you're hurt by my opinions and want to rage over them, you're a baby. ship whatever you want (so long as it's not really really weird); i do NOT care.

beguiler is a race from the dnd 3e book Shining South - it is not intended for pc use really, but there's nothing *stopping* you

on top of being like... really adorable, they are also like... completely broken for a lot of low OP stuff :P

starting off: they are magical beasts, not humanoids, which gives immunity to a lot of things, like daze or hold person, which REALLY mess with your AE, but that's not as insane as their stat bonuses, -4str, +6dex, +2int (dex and int are some of the most useful stats in 3.5e, str is one of the worst)

this all pales in comparison to their vision: darksight 60ft and low light sight are pretty common

what's not is truesight

these creatures have truesight, TRUESIGHT

they aren't so op as to destroy campaigns, if you wanted a race to do that, you'd need to try a bit harder, this is just a lot of really nice stuff for LA+0

and also beguiler beguiler is a thing you can do, since beguiler is also a class

[shiftywing]

rereading darkstalker is so weird because fanon darksight is portrayed as some big tragedy where these soulmates were ripped apart by fate or whatever...then you get to the book & darkstalker's threatening clearsight that he's going to force her to stay & be in love with him if she tries to leave. like. okay

[secretly-a-catamount]

Clearsight and Darkstalker were both immortalized after their “deaths” in ways that they both would have hated.

Darkstalker, who wanted desperately to be the savior: seen as the devil, the demon in the dark, the bogeyman.

Clearsight, who wanted nothing more than a normal life: seen as a goddess, worshiped and revered for something that sometimes seemed more a curse than a blessing.

I know father forbids candles after dark but I will burn this whole bloody house to the ground if it means I do not have to sit in the dark for another night."

Not a wraith, a ghost, a devil, a demon, an abberation-- this thing should NOT FUCKING EXIST--" "there are uncharted regions of the underdark, so dark not even the drow will approach. places so dark even the darksighted can't see. there.
