#dimitri has gone crazy

INFO POST

Name: Kylee (they/them). 30+

A totally normal Korean American mostly known for my drawings, specifically my Pokemon nuzlocke comics. But I will talk about other things on occasion because I do have periods of being fixated on certain topics. I also am a doctor!

Interests: Pokemon, League of Legends (everything except the game lmao), Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Animal Crossing, Mother series, Korean history/culture, character design

General FYIs: 

General inquiries/commission work/etc should be sent thru kynimdraws [at] gmail [dot] com! Tumblr messaging/asks/etc is not 100% reliable

I will not follow NSFW accounts but I am fine talking/interacting with them. There may be suggestive shitposting but I like keeping my content on the SFW side

I am VERY picky about who I follow/interact with online. Fandom content in particular is a minefield for me aka I have many things I dislike and don’t want to see, even if it might be a popular thing in media that I otherwise enjoy. Therefore, I will unfollow/block/mute liberally. There are times I accidentally block a blog bc I mistake them for bots. So if you got hit with that, just send me an ask or email me

I am very open about what I like and dislike, and none of those things are a direct attack on your sensibilities. I have never gone out of my way to directly send hate or whatever have you if I end up seeing shit I don’t like. My complaints in my little online space ain't a personal attack on you.

My ask/submission box/DMs  are open for criticisms if you have any issues you want to resolve in private. No one is perfect and I may have done ignorant shit that needs to be pointed out. I have deleted or edited posts in the past if people tell me what I did wrong. PS I get that some of my stuff may upset you, but try to act civil when pointing shit out please.

I try to tag all my things whenever I can. Again, send me a message if anything bothers you. I am all for good debate but if you send me excessive hate or threats bc I have different opinions about matters that are trivial, I will block/delete them.

If you wish to use any of my hcs, please credit me. And if you are comfortable with it, send me the works so I can check them out! Or @ me if that is easier.

FIRE EMBLEM FYI: Specifically for 3Houses/3Hopes because I need a separate one for this franchise specificially given how many crazy things I got due to being involved in this fanbase via my fanworks:

DO NOT try to convince me to like or tolerate Byleth/student ships, ESPECIALLY the ones with the lords (aka CIaude, Dimitri, EdeIgard). I already summarized why I don’t like FE3H Byleth ships with student chars here. While the spinoff game FEW3H has now removed that teacher/student problematic situation, the fandom keeps putting the FE3H elements into the FEW3H fanworks (i.e. remembering Byleth from “another life” trope)...so no thanks!! DO NOT SHOW ME IT!!!

As for the Byleth ships with faculty members, my response is here so don’t try to bait me about that topic either thanks.

I do not care whom you ingame S-support. 3Houses limits the dating-sim part of the game to that character, so I cannot care less about how you play the game. The main issue I have is when people treat Byleth the “character” as a legit ship material when I personally think they are a cool character ruined by fans who are too obsessed with badly executed self insert otome tropes bc they self-project super hard onto them. Just to be clear, any FE3H or FEW3H OC/Canon >>>>>>Byleth ships personally. Even Byleth-sonas that remove the teacher/student aspects are better than canon FE3H!Byleth

Please don't drag FE VA statements as some sort of “gotcha” on my opinions like this post here. IDC what other people prefer with ship shit, that’s their problem and not mine. I am not gonna bother them about it. So don’t bother ME about it.

a/n: hiiii miss me? sorry about the lack of posting but june was a batshit crazy month for me and i’ve been dealing with a bit of writer’s block. i hate this title but 🤷🏼‍♀️ @making-it-big had prompted a fic where andrei was facetiming the kids while he’s away and this is what came of that idea! hope you guys enjoy 🥰

word count: 3k

tw: none! this is just some soft family cuteness

summary: while he’s on the road, andrei never misses a facetime call with you and the kids

The one thing you never forget though, is the nightly FaceTime with Andrei when he’s on the road. Every single road game is different when it comes to the call - sometimes they’re late at night and shorter, other times he’ll have time to talk for a while before they leave for the airport. It doesn’t matter where Andrei is, he FaceTimes you and the kids every day.

Tonight, the team’s in Columbus, after flying in from Detroit earlier in the afternoon. They have the night off before their game tomorrow. You only know the schedule because you have it all written out meticulously on the giant calendar in the kitchen. You had made fun of the calendar when some of the other older and more experienced WAGs had told you about it, but now it’s your saving grace. Otherwise you’d have basically no idea where in North America your husband is unless he’s next to you.

The kids are buzzing, excited to talk to Andrei and update him on the past few days. Evie and Alina jostle for their favored positions on the couch, eventually deciding that Alina gets to be wedged against the arm and Evie gets the other 2/3 of the couch cushion. You’re not sure how that ended up being the deal, but you’re not about to get involved in the careful negotiations between sisters. Kira, the ever unbothered middle child, wanders in and out of the den, various toys and snacks coming and going with her. “Hey,” you call out to her, stopping the five-year-old in her tracks. She looks up at you with wide eyes. “That’s the last Oreo,” you point at her, raising an eyebrow and crossing your index finger over your heart, your code with the kids that you’re serious and that they better promise to listen.

Kira blinks innocently at you and chirps, “yes, mommy!” in a tone that has you getting up from your squatted position at the coffee table and moving into the kitchen to take the family-sized pack of Oreos from a lower cabinet and moving it to a cabinet above the fridge. Kira pouts at you, clutching her remaining snacks in her hands.

“Remember when your tummy hurt because you ate too much cake at D’s birthday party and you puked on Daddy’s lap?” You ask, adjusting Maks in the carrier attached to your chest. The three-month-old yawns and presses his cheek to your chest, little eyelids fluttering shut.

“Oh,” Kira pulls a face, looking just like Andrei, “I didn’t like that. Puking was gross.”

You point at her, grinning, “too many Oreos before bed will make your tummy hurt and you might puke again.”

She looks scared, her eyes opening wide, and you almost feel bad for her. But then she looks down at the two Oreos clutched in her hands and shoves them both in her mouth, spewing crumbs as she shouts, “I don’t wanna puke, Mommy!” while running back into the den and around the dining room table.

“Your sister is such a little weirdo,” you murmur affectionately to Maks. The baby burrows his face close to your chest and you check the time over the stove - 6:43 - which means he’ll be up for a feed soon enough. Hopefully he’ll be awake while Andrei’s still on the call. Turning back to the den, you start to say, “girls, let’s give Daddy —“ stopping short when none of your children are in sight. Evie and Alina are gone from the couch and Kira isn’t in the room, although you can hear her singing to herself from behind a few walls. If you had to guess, she’s doing princess twirls in front of the full length mirror in the foyer.

You shake your head and mutter, “where the hell did they all go?”

Dimitri toddles into the room, blocks clutched in his chubby little baby hands. “Mama!” He shouts, holding the blocks up. “Yook!” You grin at his little speech impediment - he can’t say his Ls yet and they all sound like Ys. “Bocks”

“That’s right, buddy, blocks! Were you building something?” You take the blocks he offers you, holding the pair of them in one hand and taking his hand in your free one, leading him over to the couch so you can hopefully get this FaceTime call started.

“Bi’ding for mama,” he says proudly and you press a kiss to the top of his head, inhaling the scent of baby shampoo.

“Mama loves your building, but how about we call Papa?” You pitch your voice higher, infusing excessive excitement into your tone. Dimitri giggles and claps his hands.

“Papa! Papa!” He chants and while he’s distracted you reach over and tap at the screen of the iPad, swiping Andrei’s contact information and bringing up the FaceTime screen. Dimitri fidgets on the couch for the entire thirty seconds it takes for Andrei to answer, but once he sees Andrei’s face fill the screen, Dimitri shouts, “Papa!” and his face splits into a huge grin.

Andrei’s face is wearing a matching grin and he shouts back, “Dimka! How’s Papa’s big boy?”

You lean against the back of the couch while Dimitri babbles to Andrei, watching as your husband’s entire face lights up while they chat. Dimitri is Andrei’s little clone, if the baby pictures Elena sends are any indication, and when their faces are side by side like this, you can totally see it. Every so often, Andrei’s gaze slips over to look at you and he smiles, winking. You return the expression, one hand resting over Maks’s back. Dimitri could chatter about anything and everything, using his limited toddler vocabulary, and you shout up the stairs for the girls, still wondering where the older two went. Maks continues to sleep soundly, even after you’ve shouted for them twice - the fifth kid really learns to sleep anywhere and under any conditions.

“Coming!” Evie shouts back and then there she and Alina are, traipsing down the stairs in too long sweaters that you recognize from Andrei’s closet. They’re holding the hems of the sweaters in their hands like they’re princesses wearing ball gowns and it’s adorable. Both girls are tall for their age - the Svechnikov genes at work - but even still the sweaters hang to their ankles when they release the knit.

“What are you two doing?” You ask, pulling Alina back by her shoulder so you can twist her long hair up into a bun on top of her head. The seven-year-old is always wandering around with her hair in her face and you hate it, always worried she’s going to fall down the stairs because she can’t see anything.

Alina struggles under your hands, trying to get away from the bun, but you’re faster than she is and tie it off quickly before she runs off to the den, throwing herself onto the couch and interrupting Dimitri so she can start telling Andrei all about her day.

You turn to Evie and she looks a little shifty, but also extremely pleased with herself while she twists her fingers in the sleeves of Andrei’s sweater. “We just wanted Dad to know, like, because he wears the bracelets me and Al and Kira made for him when he plays in other places so we know that he misses us. We wanted to wear his sweaters when he calls so he knows we miss him,” she explains in a rambling, breathless monologue that has your tearing up with the sweetness of her gesture.

“How did we get so lucky with you?” You murmur, cupping her chin and kissing the top of her head. “Sweet as iced tea.”

She beams, happy with your praise, and runs off to join her brother and sister. You can hear her interrupt Alina’s story, talking over her sister to tell Andrei that she picked the sweaters special because she’s the oldest. Kira appears from somewhere, a juice box in her hand, and you shake your head. The four kids are piled on the couch, all talking over each other and not letting Andrei get a word in edgewise. From your spot behind the couch, you have a full view of his face and the completely adoring expression on his face. He’s smiling and laughing, trying to pay attention to all four of them at once and making it look easy.

Maks fusses against your chest and you look at the time, nearly 7:30, so while the kids are distracted and with Maks still strapped to your chest, you adjust so your breast is out and Maks can eat, wincing a little when he struggles for a second before latching on. The general chaos coming from the couch starts to cool off and one by one, the kids run out of things to say, starting to peel away from the screen. Kira disappears, as is her M.O. as the middle child, and Alina wiggles to the floor to start doing somersaults.

Dimitri is flat on his back on the couch, kicking his feet in the air, dangerously close to Evie’s head while she recounts the play date she had the day before. “And Mom said we get to watch the game tomorrow at Auntie Nykki’s so we get to see Gigi and are you suuuuure we can’t get a dog?” she finishes, deploying giant puppy dog eyes.

“I’m sure,” Andrei laughs, shaking his head. “It’s not fair to Mama, to have to take care of a dog and you crazy little goblins.”

“Buuuut….” Evie winds up to start begging, but you cut in.

“Eve, we talked about this. No puppy until you’re older, now time to say goodnight to Dad and head off to bed,” you ruffle her hair a little, bracing your hand against the back of Maks’s head when you lean forward a bit.

Andrei jumps in before Evie can protest, “I’ll talk to you tomorrow, okay zaychik? Spokoynoy nochi.”

“Spokoynoy nochi,” Evie replies, blowing kisses through the screen. Alina and Kira appear for virtual goodnight kisses too and you hoist Dimitri onto your hip and give Andrei the “one-minute” gesture while you usher the girls upstairs and get their teeth brushed and tucked into bed.

With Dimitri still clinging to you like a koala and Maks fast asleep in a milk coma, you finally return to the den and drop down onto the couch. “Hi,” you grin at Andrei. Dimitri rests his head on your thigh and runs a toy car over the cushion, clearly fading but reluctant to sleep. He’ll be out in a few minutes and you’ll transition him to his bed.

“Hi,” Andrei grins back. “Miss you.”

“Miss you too,” you card your fingers through Dimitri’s fine blond hair. “They were on something different tonight. And just so you know, both girls are sleeping in your sweaters.”

He shifts from sitting on the hotel bed to lying back against the pillows, tucking one hand behind his head and hiding the colourful braided and beaded bracelets that Evie, Alina, and Kira had made him. A soft smile makes his dimple pop. “We got lucky with them,” he says.

“We did,” you adjust Maks in the carrier, pulling aside the fabric covering the back of his head so Andrei can see him a little better. You’re getting warm having sixteen pounds of baby strapped so close to your chest. “How’s Columbus?”

“Boring,” he snorts a laugh. His smile turns a little sly. “What are you wearing?”

You laugh a little, until a new and familiar voice chimes in. “Oh fuck no,” Martin Necas yelps. “You’ve got five fucking kids, don’t tell me that you’re still chatting her up like a twenty-something idiot.”

Marty’s been your husband’s roommate on the road for years now, but you didn’t realize that he’d been around while the kids were talking to Andrei.

On-screen, Andrei smirks, a cocky expression taking over his face, “how do you think we got five kids? The stork?”

A towel flies into view from off-screen, whacking Andrei in the face while he laughs. You giggle at their antics and Neci comes into view, poking his head in front of Andrei’s phone. “Don’t let him talk to you like that, you’ve got all the power. He’s fucking whipped,” he teases, ruffling his hand through damp hair.

“Don’t worry,” you grin. “I’ve got babies attached to my hip and spit up all over my shirt. No chance he finds this attractive.”

Andrei’s expression turns hungry and he scrubs a hand over his bearded chin, the rasp of his fingers over the hair sending a shiver down your spine. “Neci, cover your ears, I want to say something adult to my wife,” Andrei teases. “It’s not for the ears of children.”

“Fuck you,” Marty whips a pillow from his bed at Andrei. It lands with a hollow noise on Andrei’s stomach and he exhales heavily. “One, I’m older than you and two, your literal children are right there. You’re gonna be disgusting in front of them?”

You smother a laugh with your hand. “Dimitri is passed out,” you say, angling the iPad down so they can see the conked out toddler spread out starfish style on the couch, toy car held loosely in one hand. “And Maks is definitely out.” You show them the infant, his little rosebud mouth gaping open and his eyelids twitching as he dreams. “So you’re good to say whatever you want.”

“No, do not encourage him,” Marty groans. “I have to share a room with him.”

Andrei tosses the pillow back, but Marty was expecting it and catches the pillow in mid-air. “You know, I’m the Captain. I don’t have to share a room,” Andrei says.

“You’d miss me too much,” Marty grins, waggling his eyebrows. “If you two are going to be disgusting, I’m leaving.”

“Good, leave,” Andrei deadpans.

You click your tongue, “be nice! What kind of leadership are you displaying?”

“Yeah, listen to your wife,” Marty teases, getting out of bed and shoving his feet into a pair of slides. “I’m telling Roddy that you’re a shitty Captain.”

He shoves at Andrei’s shoulder on his way out, waving to you. The door clicks shut behind him and you shake your head at Andrei, “you two are terrible.”

Andrei waves a hand in the air, grinning. “Neci’s dealt with worse from me on the road. I ever tell you about the food poisoning incident?”

“No,” you wince, “and I don’t want to know.” You yawn and apologize. “Sorry, baby. I’m exhausted.”

“I’m sorry I’m not there,” he replies, rubbing at his chin again. He pauses and you’re both quiet for a bit, just soaking up the other’s presence. Dimitri’s hand goes completely slack and he drops the toy car to the floor. You kick it slightly under the coffee table so you don’t step on it later. Andrei coughs a little, “it’s only been a couple days, but it feels like they’re different. Bigger.”

“The only one that really grew this week is this guy,” you pat Maks’s diapered bottom. “Gained another pound from his last checkup.”

Andrei grins. He sits up and pushes his hair off his forehead, leaning closer to the screen. “That’s my boy,” he chuckles. “How big is he now?”

“Sixteen pounds,” you laugh, shifting him against your chest. “He’s in the eightieth percentile for his age, Drei.”

“Big boy,” Andrei replies.

“Takes after his Daddy,” you blow him a kiss, yawning again. “I know it’s not even nine, but I really need to sleep for a bit before tiny Hulk wakes up for his next feeding.”

Andrei nods. “I know, I’m sorry I kept you up. I miss you.”

“I miss you too,” you tuck Maks back into the carrier so you can bring boy boys upstairs easier. “But you’ll be home in two days and then I’m happily passing off parenting duties to you.”

“I can’t wait, solnyshka,” Andrei says seriously, eyes twinkling at the prospect of being back home. “And once I handle parenting, I have a few things I’d like to do with you.”

You laugh, “those adult things that you kicked Marty out of the room to say?”

Andrei hums and affirmative. “I never even got to say them.” His lower lip pokes out in a pout, a childish expression in direct contrast with his beard and blown pupils.

“I’ll use my imagination,” you assure him. “I love you.”

“Love you,” he puckers his lips at you in a kiss and you tap the screen, ending the call. You skimp back against the couch for a minute, resting, before you get to your feet and lift Dimitri’s toddler dead weight into your arms to bring him up to bed. Once you’ve checked and reassured yourself that all five kids are asleep and tucked in bed, you finally crawl into your own bed and pass out for a bit before getting up to feed Maks. You’re so ready for Andrei to come home.

When he does come home, two days later, he bounds through the front door full of energy, swinging you into a kiss that makes you laugh and swooping the two closest children - Kira and Dimitri - up into his arms. They squeal with excitement that Daddy is home. The older two girls are at school and Andrei insists on being the one to pick them up, buckling Kira and Dimitri into their car seats and taking the fully loaded Navigator to the school.

He has the windows rolled down and the three of them wave at you while he backs down the driveway. Andrei at the wheel of the Navigator with all the children in tow is a much different picture than Andrei behind the wheel of his string of ugly coloured Lamborghinis.

His grin though, that full, missing-toothed, dimpled smile? That grin is the same on your thirty-six year old husband as it was on the twenty-one year old golden retriever of a boy you fell in love with.

The wedding has finally arrived!!! 💒🔔✨

As much as I love these characters, I would really like to transition to focusing on the vampires now, specifically the Solaires (duh lol). There's so much potential for new characters. Dimitri Rebane, more Porter audios, mayyyyybe William audios (👀), who knows!!! (Please read below!!!!! I have so many ideas and need to dump them somewhere) (⚠️pun not intended⚠️).

People may not agree with me on that, but hear me out! Vincent and Sam left the house of Solaires, so we could get audios here and there about where they (and their relationships) end up. Since the wedding is done and David stated that during the summit, someone from the house of Wright told him to stay away from the Solaires, that would give more of a reason to have dispersed audios for Vincent and Sam and to include new characters. They've been around for a long while now, and the werewolf culture is hashed out, so I feel that there isn't much else to do with them.

Here are some arcs that I think would be cool to enter:

1) Although we know about werewolf culture, we only know a little about vampire culture and their politics. I would absolutely LOVE to see how that comes to play in Porter and Treasure's relationship (*Important note*: During the summit, when it was pointed out by the Prince of the house of Bennet that Vince killed someone, Porter was Q.U.I.C.K to defend him by saying that Adam violated the bite/claim marking). It seems that Porter is very protective of Treasure and values the relationship with them, so I think there's opportunity to hash out Vamp culture/politics through that. Ex: Someone has an eye out for Treasure, Porter freaks out but they don't know why, then we get an explanation. Idk why, but it's interesting to me that Porter covered for Vince that quick, and for *that* reason. Of course that could be explained away bc he literally killed a King and was in charge of creating an alibi, but it felt like foreshadowing to me. At some point Treasure is going to have to be informed that their man's a hitman, and maybe it's the toxicity in me but I think Porter being quick to unalive someone for violating that bite claim could be an entry way into that conversation.

1.5) If we get Will as an official character (listener wise), then we can see how his and Porter's...uhhh...relationship. When we were introduced to Porter, he was very adamant (again, no pun intended) that Treasure's friends were not good people and went into a tangent about transactional relationships. I fully feel like this was a projection of his and Will's friendship. To support my point, the next audio was him contemplating the validity and ethics of the friendship. He even questioned if he was scared of Will. It would be great to see this explored further by more vamp politics videos. In my recent post about Porter, I wondered whether Will is going to manipulate Porter into becoming next in line for succession. Alexis is trash, Vincent is gone...so who's left???

2) Speaking of monarchies and successions, I know the fooliverse audios are not supposed to be taken as canon, but it's interesting that Erik brought up a whole new character for Milo's audio. Dimitri Rebane. Like...we get a first AND last name??? For a non-canon arc??? 🤨 We didn't even get Asher's last name until what? Almost a year ago? Erik seems very organized and well thought out, so even though the fooliverse arc itself isn't canon, the characters sure are. AND Mr. Rebane is a KING??? How come he wasn't brought up in the summit??? Hmmm.....🤔 Wouldn't it be crazy if he does become a canon character and ends up murdering Will and taking over the Solaire clan? Maybe he messes up the friendship with Porter to no return (maybe by messing with Treasure somehow) and Porter helps Dimitri become king because he's better, and he won't have to take up more responsibility than he could handle.

3) I get it, some people may prefer werewolves to vampires. But I think everyone forgot that THERE'S A WHOLE ASS WEREWOLF PACK THAT HAS NOT BEEN COVERED YET‼️‼️‼️We have the Keaton pack, but does anyone remember during one of Erik's channel anniversary streams where he did a kahoot-style game and alluded to the Moore pack (no, not Lasko lol). There were four options, the Shaw pack, the Keaton pack, the Moore pack, and some other answer. The Moores was the correct one and he even gave a geographic location to them in comparison to the Shaw and Keaton packs. We dead ass could have a whole nother set of characters from a whole different pack if he didn't give them the Frederick and Bright Eyes treatment and just ignored their whole existence .

That's all the brain dump I have for now. Sorry if I fried yours in the process, but I've been thinking about the Moore (or More) pack FOR YEARS.

(Also, Monarch Baz got pissy with David for not understanding vamp politics, AND it's confirmed that some vamps are involved with the inversion and close-knit case, which is more support for my reasoning and theory that we might be headed towards a vamp arc soon). If you guys like me dumping info and theories like this, PLEASE let me know. If not, I'll definitely keep my posts shorter in the future. Thank you for reading!!! 💜 Stay safe, drink water, and drive safe!

In the mean time, Dimitri from the movie Anastasia is my head canon for Dimitri Rebane.

[anna-scribbles]

hi anna i was driving home listening to anastasia and thought idly "how could i make this a miraculous ladybug au?" and then i remembered hearing that you already have one!!! so i've gone through your whole anastasia tag and if you felt like talking any more about this au i'm DYING to hear about it, i was thinking it would be a princess adrien/conwoman marinette kinda deal but A GUARDIANSHIP AMNESIA AU???? MY heart TURNED INSIDE OUT and then grew FOUR sizes, i'm riveted and welded to my seat

hi viv it is CRAZY that you would say this to me bc my entire brain has been anastasia au lately and i am nearly done with the first chapter of my fic anyway the premise of the story in my brain is that marinette is anya (forced to renounce guardianship during the final battle with hawkmoth and loses her memory). adrien is dimitri (beautiful yet forced into deceit due to unfortunate life circumstances such as losing track of ladybug). and chat noir is grandmama (im not explaining this one).

tiiiiiiny snip from ch 1 under the cut

shitpost of the day: in s1 mike mentioned that ted believed the lab to be a place where the government developed weapons. in s4, we see that ted doesn't believe the earthquake story whatsoever.

ergo, ted wheeler is one step away from being a conspiracy theorist.

ergo, ted wheeler is half-a-step away from ending up as a pair with our favourite conspiracy theorist, murray bauman.

(imagine the horror mike and nancy would feel upon realising that ted is getting along with murray, of all people. ted would be like "nancy, how come you never told me you knew such a smart gentleman?" and she'd want to scream. as for mike,,, he'd be convinced his father had gone batshit crazy; perhaps possessed by something from the upside down; and he'd beg hopper to please just send the mad men away)

((bonus imagine: ted is often vocal about his distaste for russians and the extended party now has two of them in its ranks, so imagine mike and dustin manipulating plans just so murray and ted end up with dimitri and yuri as they deal with the apocalypse))

Dio Brando: Kamen Rider Anax

This was inspired by a RP thread I did on Twitter with one Homelander account.

10 Years Ago:

He coughs up blood as he lies on the ground helpless. Why did he let his guard down? Why was he so trustful of all these people?! He should have seen the warning signs that they would all betray him at some point. Especially that filthy snake Homelander. Hanging around with that bastard and watching him do the shit that he does should have been a warning sign to him. After all, this was why the many Gods of the Universe punished him in the first place.

Shit...shit....shit!!

Tears well up in his eyes as he reminisces about his life. All this lust for power and attention goes back to the one fundamental thing that he truly lacked, something he truly desired but never got. Love. He just wanted love and wanted to be desired by everyone because the people around him then made him feel otherwise.

His Stand, The World was no longer with him because the Gods decided to deny him of it. The last parting blow to the man once known as DIO. 

"Everything will b alright."

He looks up to see a tall raven haired woman with porcelain skin dressed in a black Lolita dress staring down at him in pity with those innocent blue eyes of hers. "What do you want?!" He manages to spit out in anger.

The woman does not flinch at his reaction. "I desire to help. I have seen what those deceitful souls have done to you. I have also seen what has transpired in your life, both past and present. A new lease of life is necessary." Bending down, she places a hand on his forehead and before he realized it, he finds himself in a room in a place he does not recognize. He also notices that the woman was nowhere to be seen.

"Huh?" 

He gets up and stares at himself in the mirror and gasps. His appearance had changed completely. Gone was the crazy vampire look and instead, he looked more human. His hair was a lot shorter, albeit slightly mousy and messy. His skin looked tan and he wore plain clothes as well. He also had his natural green eyes back. Was that woman a Goddess?  

He notices an ID card nearby and reads the name on it: Dimitri Diamandis. "Why does that name sound familiar?" Still, he has no time to ponder about this new development. He just grabs whatever he needs and head out of the door.

10 Years Later

Dio sighs to himself as he heads back home. He was tired after a long day at the office. He was a lawyer, just as he was meant to be. Strange indeed but perhaps this is what his life was meant to be if he did not get so greedy and ambitious. Power corrupts absolutely. Those were the words of his own mother prior to her death. If only he had heeded her warnings. Maybe the Brando genes were tainted. At least he thought that way until he met his kids, Giorno in particular. 

Sadness overwhelms him. He lost a lot of great things all because he got greedy and lazy. And also because he allowed that parasite Homelander into his life. "That bastard." he mutters to himself.

"This just in. Vought International is announcing the Desire Grand Prix which is a special Grand Prix which is holding next month. More details shall be revealed shortly." Upon hearing this announcement via the big screen in the town square in Istanbul, Dio clenches his fist. This is it. I shall enter this tournament with one mission and one mission only: to get vengeance on every single last bitch that betrayed me, especially Homelander and Joseph. Revenge was best served cold.

[dmclemblems]

i think one simple thing that people who insist Hopes!Claude is in character like to ignore is that in the 3H Dream interview, with the original head director Kusakihara, it's said that Claude came out to being a "pure good guy" at the end of his writing and Edel/gard is the villain.

Claude cannot simultaneously have been written as a "pure good guy" while also being willing to let innocent people die for no reason and actively helping the villain get what she wants lmao. i'm sorry that the fanon Claude that is willing to let people die for his own gains is what these people want so badly, but he never existed. "you just want Claude to be a goody two shoes" well yes because that's basically how his OG writers literally described him as being lmao

Yeah, his writing is just really not the same. People can chalk it up to the year at GM all they want and him killing Shahid, but those two aspects wouldn't change his core personality. I agree fully that GM helped him grow and changed his perspective on things, but the core of his character shouldn't change because of it. That being, he wouldn't have a totally wildly different means of doing things just because of it.

As for Shahid, killing his brother, who hated him and wanted him dead on top of calling him horrific things, should not have changed his personality either. He can be sad about it, sure, but evidently it affected him so much that it enabled him to let hundreds if not thousands of others die, and for what? His spiteful, hateful brother who wished nothing but death on him?

I would agree that Claude would prefer to resolve things with Shahid peacefully, but if he was so intent on getting out of that battle alive with Shahid also alive, it's wild to me how he wants peace with a man who wants him very very dead, but he wants to kill Rhea because "nothing personal", he just needs her gone, and this woman has never done a damn thing to him.

Ultimately I'd agree that Claude is a pure, good guy, and that makes sense considering how he grew up. It's not uncommon for people who are hurt growing up to want to be good to people. When you're that hurt, you don't want to inflict that pain or suffering on others because you know what it's like. Claude is a very humane person even if he has trouble expressing those aspects of himself. That's why he's able to pull back when he realizes he's going too far with trying to learn things. That's why if you, as Byleth, try to get him to press Flayn for details and act heartless about it, he's actually kind of shocked and doesn't like it.

Tbh I don't really understand why people want "ebul Claude" so badly. Why is it so bad for him to be a good person? As a fan of AM and Dimitri it's crazy to me because Dimitri fans were very sad when Dimitri was unstable and wanted him to get better. Fans of the route and the character were very much not rooting for him to continue acting like that. One of the reasons I really took to Rodrigue in my first experience with AM is because he was the goddamn only person to scold Dimitri and basically tell him to shut the fuck up and listen (which is ironic because Rodrigue later says he's doesn't have it in him to scold Dimitri, but he just didn't do it in a standard way. He's relatively polite about it, but he still shuts Dimitri up at Ailell, and fast. That's also his first time meeting Dimitri again in literal years, so that says a lot that he was willing to immediately scold him for his behavior).

That said, another thing I hate is how the people around Dimitri don't approve of what he does/says, but with Claude they all just kinda... go with it except Lorenz. People argue with Dimitri and contest his actions/behavior. They argue with him on moral grounds. With Claude there's only one person, again, Lorenz, who continually questions Claude's behavior and doesn't agree with how he's handling things. In AM, it's a lot of people even if they don't tell it to Dimitri's face.

So really, I don't know why people prefer Claude killing people and just going deeper and deeper into that hole. At first he says his hands will never be clean again, but that doesn't mean... make the situation even worse? Generally speaking I don't disagree with what he did in his own Ailell chapter. He didn't personally get too involved in the killing, and his main focus on was on his own people. Firstly, the Empire had been an enemy for a long time and he expected them to be at war again in the not too distant future. Secondly, he wasn't allied with and thus had no obligated to help the Church's people, and those two factions were warring with each other. Letting them fight each other and be decimated... really wasn't his fault, and yet people got on his absolute ass for not uwu helping the Empire who just murdered tons of his people in a war not even that long ago.

Invading the Kingdom is where I'm like... what even is this. If he made a pact with Edelgard to stop his own people from dying, fine, whatever, but he should've told her listen, I'll engage in this pact but I won't help you in your war. You don't attack us, we don't attack you. First he starts killing Kingdom soldiers and then he goes to kill Rhea who... hasn't done anything to him, and he knows and admits that. He just has to kill her simply because people look up to her and follow her. No amount of GM or having to kill Shahid would've changed his whole personality and ideology to such extremes.

Again, I don't really see the appeal in that. I'd rather see him make mistakes and realize how bad they were and turn himself around. I'd rather him come back from starting to be like that. If Claude was like that in Houses I would want the same thing for him, just like everyone wanted for Dimitri.

If people don't like Claude for being a goody two shoes who doesn't wanna kill people, well that's worrying. Why would you want your favorite character to kill a ton of people? Yiker wikers.

Episode 3

The crew woke up late that morning. Sebastian thought it was all just a crazy dream until he saw Dimitri and Marky in the kitchen, it was all too real. "Damn" he said out loud.

"Damn what" asked Simon

"Nothing Simon, just damn you know" said Sebastian

"Yeah I hear that" said Simon

"Sebastian, we need to get stuff from our apartment" said JJ, Tabitha nodding her head in the background.

"Ok, just give me a minute to wake up will yeah" he said back.

"Yeah I need to get me some clothes that fit" said Dimitri. "I don't want to be on stage naked tonight."

"Yeah, I could use some new threads myself." said Simon.

"Alright, everyone in the van." Sebastian told them "We'll go do that now."

They all loaded up in the van and headed out. The girls got dropped of first while the boys went shopping.

They pulled into the Salvation Army store and begin hunting around for stuff. Simon found everything he need plus a kick ass leather jacket. Dimitri found some clothes too. They paid and went back to pick up the girls, hitting the drive thru at the Burger Pit on the way back to grab some eats. Once back at the loft Sebastian told everyone they needed to get tonight figured out. They put together a set list and practiced.

"We go on at 9 after The Flesh and the Fury.

"OMG those guys suck" said Dimitri strumming on his guitar.

"Yeah well remember we were a pubic hair away from opening for them" Sebastian reminded them.

"Hell the way we played today, we should be closing that bitch tonight" Tabitha chimed in

"Hopefully we play as well tonight"said JJ. "After all this shit we have been through we should be our best everytime."

"You will babies. Rock daddy has you, don't worry" the demon was back.

"Crazy cats are going to tear that joint down, I guarantee it" it said.

"I hope your right" said Sebastian

"Like I said babies, trust rock daddy" and just like that he was gone.

Sebastian and the boys loaded up the trailer and were getting ready for the show. The girls were upstairs getting dressed, though Tabitha was having trouble finding anything to go with her bandages. Once everything and everyone was ready they popped a few beers and chilled.

"I've been thinking" said Marky, "maybe I should stay here."

"Bullshit. said Dimitri"Why would you even say that?"

"How are you going to explain a three foot tall red guy" Marky said.

"Easy, we'll tell em your our tech midget." Dimitri said with a huge smile on his face.

"I don't know guys"

"Marky you are on the board or we don't go." said Sebastian, everyone agreeing with him.

"Ok, ok I will go." said Marky

They all loaded into the van and headed to the show. They were ready to rock. They arrived at the show, Rocktober Bash, and began to unload their gear when the venues manager came to see them.

"Nice costumes" he said

"Look, I got a major problem and you guys are going to fix it for me. The Screaming Skulls are a no show, apparently their singer lost his voice or some shit like that. So I'm putting Acid Bath in the 9 o'clock spot and you guys are playing midnight."

"Holy shit, really" said Simon

"Yeah so get back to the dressing room and chill."

They couldn't believe it. They had gone from openers to headliners just like that. They headed back to the dressing room and popped some beers and downed some shots. Time drew near and nerves were on edge.

With Marky in the tech booth, they took the stage. Darkness surrounded them when suddenly the lights went up and they tore into their first song. The place went absolutely nuts. The pit was insane, bodies flying everywhere. The Black Plague were tearing down the house.

Sitting in the rafters was the demon, smoking his cigar. "Told you babies, just trust rock daddy."

The band finished their set and left the stage. The ravenous fans were not done with them yet though. Chants of "More, more" rung out through the building. The band ended up playing 2 encores before finally calling it a night.

"That was completely sick!" said Tabitha as they got back to the dressing room. Waiting there for them was the demon.

"My babies rocked it to the ground" it said

"Now do we trust rock daddy kiddos"

"Absolutely" said Sebastian.

"Good to hear cool cats cause this is just the beginning." it said to them. "Here, you are going to need this." The demon handed Sebastian a business card. It read Viktor VonFranken rock agent.

"You think we are going to need an agent?" asked JJ.

"Hell yeah little momma. Your star is on the rise." it disappeared again.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Sebastian answered it. Standing there was a man in a black suit.

"You guys slayed it out there tonight." he said. "My name is Johnny Rock and I am running the Rockfest show in Pittsburgh next month I need you to play it."

"Really, play Rockfest?" Sebastian said. "Like with Coal Chamber, Prong, and Rob Zombie, are you kidding me!"

"I never joke about metal junior" said Mr Rock. "Here's my card have your agent call me ASAP"

"By the way, love the gimmick." he said as he walked out the door.

The band partied all night long. This was it, they were on there way to the heavy metal promised land.

Here are some of the major (and minor but interesting) ‘Teen Mom’-related things that happened over the last week or so…

Kail Lowry Reveals the, um, Interesting Names She Chose For Her Twins

Kail has revealed the names of her latest additions to her ever-growing litter of kids!

The former ‘Teen Mom 2’ star posted a video to Instagram earlier this week, showing her with her recently born twins— a boy and a girl— along with an announcement of the babies’ names. 

“Complete. Whole. Everybody’s here,” she captioned the video.

Blankets on the babies’ cribs revealed that her new son’s name is “Verse” and her (only) daughter’s name is “Valley.” 

While Kail’s name reveals garnered her plenty of congratulatory messages, she also received some backlash for the, um, unique name choices.

Kail has yet to share what inspired her baby name choices.

Amber Portwood’s Ex-Boyfriend Dimitri Garcia Shades Amber; Insinuates She’s “Crazy” 

Amber’s Belgian one-time beau has moved on— and is hinting about what his time with the ‘Teen Mom’ star was like. 

‘Teen Mom OG’ fans will remember that Amber dated Dimitri Garcia– a Belgian man she met online— for a long period of time. Ambie even flew her European lover to her home in Indiana several times so she could get to know him in-person—and demand he take a lie-detector test…as you do.

Anyway, Amber is now dating an Indiana man named Gary (but not that Gary). On Friday, Dimitri made it known that he, too, has a new boo, posting a photo with his special lady to Instagram. 

In the comment section, several fans of the show commented that they were thrilled that Dimitri “found someone that isn’t Amber.” Dimitri thanked them, and even responded to another commenter who wrote that “Amber was crazy!”

“You are quite right,” Dimitri replied.

It’s unknown when Amber and Dimitri officially ended their geographically-challenged relationship. The couple split in 2021, but in July 2023, Amber and Dimitri appeared to be “on again.” A source told The Sun at the time that Dimitri had been acting as a “sounding board” for the ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ star while she dealt with custody drama with (second) baby daddy, Andrew Glennon. 

Obviously, things went south in the relationship shortly after that interview, because Amber began dating Gary 2.0 several months later. 

Amber has yet to comment on Dimitri’s remarks about her. 

Jenelle Evans Claims She— Not Kail Lowry— Was Lindsie Chrisley’s First Choice to Do the Coffee Convos Podcast

Earlier this week, Jenelle took to social media to spiral attempt (yet again) to get the attention of her former ‘Teen Mom 2’ co-star, Kail. In a post to Facebook (that was quickly deleted) Jenelle randomly announced that she could have had Kail’s spot on the successful Coffee Convos podcast, because Kail’s co-host Lindsie Chrisley approached her first to do the project.

Jenelle– who has made several attempts at podcasting on her own with crash-and-burn results— stated that she turned Lindsie down, causing the former Chrisley Knows Best star to then ask Kail to be her co-host.

“Fun fact: Did you know Lindsie Chrisley came to me first [about] starting a podcast before she started with Kail?” Jenelle wrote on Facebook. “I told Lindsie I didn’t want to do it because I just wasn’t interested with podcasting at the time.” 

Lindsie and Kail did not respond to Jenelle’s out-of-the-blue declaration. However, in the past Kail has invited Jenelle to come on Coffee Convos, as well as her Barely Famous podcast, but Jenelle has declined. 

Coffee Convos— which was started in 2017—has gone on to become very successful with Kail and Lindsie as its co-hosts. 

Jenelle’s attempt to do The Jenelle Evans Podcast in 2021 was cringy, with the fired ‘Teen Mom 2’ star only putting out two episodes, one of which featured Jenelle’s ever-present husband David Eason as the “special guest” who basically burped and grunted into the mic for an hour. (You can relive that horror here by clicking here to read The Ashley’s recap of the episode!) 

Earlier in 2021, Jenelle was hired for the Girl S**t podcast, which was supposed to bring girls from reality TV, social media influencers and other areas of entertainment together to do a joint podcast. Jenelle was promptly fired from the project before it even got off the ground. 

Last month, it appeared that Jenelle was once again attempting to jump into the podcasting world, with her The Time of The Day podcast. However, earlier this week, she stated on Twitter that she has reconsidered doing that podcast because she is “afraid of the backlash.”

"edelgards fans never minimize the stuff she has actual responsibility for they don't take away her agency"

Edelgard's fans do nothing but minimize the stuff she does and take away her agency.

Edelgard tried to have Dimitri and Claude assassinated in the prologue, so the fans came up with the teacher theory (that only makes Edelgard look even worse when you think about it) to explain her real intentions. People take Edelgard at her word when she said she had nothing to do with Remire, even though the dialogue at the beginning of the month and before the maps starts suggest she indeed knew, she just didn't think it would be that bad, and that she orquestrated Flayn's kidnapping two months ago, which was integral for Remire happening in the first place (Edelgard herself said she would be willing to do this all the way back in the Lonato chapter, so it's a safe bet to say that Jeralt was right: her words are meaningless) People have gone so far as to say that Jeralt's death wasn't so big of a deal, because he was mercenary, it came with the lifestyle or some nonsense, or how Byleth shouldn't feel so bad that he died because he wasn't that good of a person (which is true, but this only came up to alleviate EDELGARD'S guilt, not Byleth's grief (and this is even assuming that edelgard felt guilty at all, given her horrendous words for a weeping Byleth))

Then there is the infamous Holy Tomb moment.

This one is especially bad from two angles: the first one is once again people taking Edelgard at her word when she said that she didn't really want to kill them, even though she sent them her army, a crazy assassin, and fucking demonic beasts at them. People try to dismiss this by saying Edelgard knew they could handle them (so she set up her own men for failure?) But this still doesn't take away from the fact that she's directly putting her classmates or the heirs of the other two nations in danger for the THIRD FUCKING TIME (AND SHE'S NOT DONE YET)

The other angle is how this actually makes RHEA look bad for over reacting to Edelgard's actions. People on twitter minimize Edelgard's actions in order to make Rhea's reactions to said actions look unjustified, calling what Edelgard did and will do a mere provocation. Hell the same person had gone so far as to say that Rhea was responsible for what happened in Duscur like what?!

Then there is stuff like that Kotaku article singing Edelgard praises while also buying into the notion that Edelgard had no choice but to start the war.

It is like you say, people say there were no other ways Edelgard could've gone about doing things but we never see her trying those ways in the first place. Edelgard starts the game going directly for the throat. People say everything could've worked out had they talked, mostly as a way to distribute the blame on everybody, but Edelgard is the one who doesn't want to talk, she never did. She wanted to kill Dimitri and Claude and put the blame on the church.

And really, what is there for Dimitri or Claude or Rhea to say to Edelgard besides "don't fucking kill us, you fucking bitch"?

edelgards fans never minimize the stuff she has actual responsibility for they don't take away her agency ( saying that she chose war with fodlan as a last resort to stop Rhea because there was no other way isn't taking away her agency this idea that there is no in between to evil or has no agency is nonsensical) if anything its Rhea or Dimitri's fans who minimize their actions and try to go but Rhea was a victim of genocide being able to explain her actions isnt taking away her agency

"there was no other way" literally what other way was even attempted for her to think there was no other way lmao this is literally what I mean

Day 3: The One Where Literally Everything Goes Wrong

This one took course over two sessions that had us two players screaming “what the fuck” at the end of them both. The stakes have officially been raised, and Thais thinks it’s stupid that this is what did it, but at least we met a hot lady. As always, spoilers for the Curse of Strahd module, largely around some NPC secrets and fun things like that.

During the ritual, Thais notices that it seems like the Abbot has practiced this beforehand, and is putting on a show of some kind. Ilya is “returned to life” and Dimitri and Anna take him back inside. As the Abbot leaves, seeming pleased with his turn of events, he invites them to visit him up at the Abbey if they would like to speak with him. After he leaves, Thais and Ferrin look around some and notice that some of the older graves seem to have been disturbed somewhat recently.

Ferrin and Thais decide they will stay another day in order to speak with the Abbot, and decide to earn their keep by taking care of some of the Krezikov’s household chores. While they are doing this, a villager comes by to notify Anna that a woman in Krezk is about to give birth. Anna takes on the role of a “priest” during the birth, as opposed to asking the Abbot to be present. The two women are invited along because it’s considered good luck for there to be many people present at a birth. The birth goes smoothly, but the baby does not cry, and Ferrin notices that the midwife seems disappointed by this. She asks the midwife if there was anything wrong, and the midwife reveals not only that the baby was born without a soul, but that only 10% of Barovians do have souls.

The two decide to go up to the Abbey and speak with the Abbot about what he knows about the mists surrounding Barovia. Before they go up, Dimitri gives them a letter stating that he is in the Abbot’s debt for resurrecting his son. The Abbey is essentially turned into an asylum for those who have gone mad walking through the mist. They meet a mongrel-folk named Otto who takes them to go see the Abbot. While they wait for the Abbot to return, Ferrin drops a copper into the well in the middle of the courtyard, alerting the creature that lurks inside, which attacks them. The Abbot quickly interrupts the fight and invites them inside to talk. They learn that they’re very fortunate to not have experienced any negative effects from traversing the mist. They also learn that the Abbot believes that he can clear the mists over Barovia by sacrificing something to Strahd to make him happy – he has been training a young woman, Vasilka, to be Strahd’s bride. He asks them for a favor, to acquire a wedding dress for Vasilka, as the wedding is set to take place in a few days’ time.

After a tour of the Abbey and meeting a Vistani woman named Ezmerelda, who is immediately suspicious of Thais and also a total badass monster hunter with a burning hatred for Strahd, the two sit down with the Abbot who asks if they have any other questions for him. Thais, taking a chance, reveals her face to him and asks him if he knows her, which he denies. He becomes suspicious of her and she tells him what she knows. It turns out the Abbot is also balls to the wall crazy - he claims that she has been sent by the Morning Lord to become Strahd’s bride, as the fact that she has died, come back to life, been outside of Barovia, and still found her way back is absolutely unheard of. Ferrin tries to dissuade him from this line of thinking, but he brushes her aside, instead tasking her with telling Dimitri that he will be calling in the favor – Dimitri is to acquire the wedding dress, and Ferrin will help.

Thais is taken away by Vasilka to bathe and Ferrin goes to collect her and Thais’ belongings. Ferrin warns Dimitri of what has happened, and he promises not to stop them while they escape, but that he owes the Abbot and cannot directly interfere. Ferrin also asks him if he has ever heard of a woman named Vasilka, which he denies. Ferrin quickly returns, and while Thais spends the day being attended to by Vasilka, Ferrin goes to see if Ezmerelda would be a potential ally in their flight (and also has a gay sparring session with her). Ezmerelda, like Dimitri, indicates that while she won’t directly help them, she won’t get in their way. They also learn through Ezmerelda that Vasilka is a construct, not a resurrected woman like they initially thought.

They decide to wait for Vasilka to sleep before making their escape, but as it turns out, Vasilka doesn’t sleep. Ezmerelda casts a spell on Vasilka and tells her to go pick some flowers, and then rolls over and pointedly pretends to go to sleep. The two escape the building proper but are caught by Otto, who goes to notify the Abbot, and the two run down the cliff using Ferrin’s Spider Climb ability and into the woods. As they run, they see a bright flash of light and something winged take off from the Abbey. They continue deeper into the woods towards one of the only places they know the name of – Yester Hill.

However, during their flight they are ambushed by a battalion of zombies. The zombies kick their collective ass, but Strahd sends in direwolves to save the day. However, even with their assistance, Ferrin is knocked unconscious and Strahd himself appears and feeds her some of his blood to revive her. Thais barely manages to keep from attacking him, instead getting in between him and Ferrin. He reveals that he has been taking notes on Ferrin’s condition, and offers to make her a copy of them. He again reiterates that she is welcome to visit any time before leaving. The two camp for the night.

Dimitri: Tell me Edelgard, do you recall the Tragedy of Duscur?

[reyna-isabellaa]

My thoughts on common things the show has been hated for:

“The main plots from book have now been replaced with political storylines which no-one asked for”

it’s clear here you did not read the books because Lissas entire plot is her growing into her political power and taking a seat at the table, speaking against injustice and against the crazy policies from extreme royals. Rose consistently explains the political context of what’s going on in the books and especially points about the commodification of dhampir women. This is all in the books AND NOW represented in the show. Don’t know what you mean about main plots because I see a lot of book plots being set up to play out through out the season. Main plot IS Dimitri training Rose to adequately protect Lissa when they graduate. That is EXACTLY what the show is about. if you watch longer than 5 minutes before throwing a fit you would see that. Each episode continues the story in an accurate compelling way, and the developing of characters and relationships begins to show. Most shows have 22 episodes and 10 seasons to see everything. we’ve been given four, of the very beginning, obviously not EVERY SINGLE little thing will be represented yet nor would a word for word adaptation make sense or be interesting because that first book has BEEN done already. But those general elements for the plots and characters are present.

“origins of mythology is gone”

This was NEVER represented in the books, in the sense that everywhere Richelle drew inspiration from wasn’t throughly explained and context for WHY each vampire is who they are. The intro DOES explain the lore for this specific story and weaves bits through dialogue. Don’t know why it was expected to do a deep dive to where certain things come from because that was never the books strigoi were strigoi, moroi were moroi, if you want that it’s interviews and discussions with the author in her inspirations not the show.

“romanian and russian backgrounds of most of the characters”

no one dug their feet in on this until the cast wasn’t fully white, characters were never stated to for sure NOT have these backgrounds. Representation is important and there is still time for this to be seen and represented. Like Dimitri still being from Russia but ppl constantly hated assuming he had no link at all and roza/comrade was gone (it’s not if u haven’t given the show a chance yet). I know this is important to people and don’t want to disregard anyone but using it to hate the show when the movie didn’t explore it that much either let alone the books that mentioned moroi ancestors being from there every once in a while which again could be mentioned in the show.

“Stunts are unrealistic”

they aren’t meant to be it’s a fantasy show with vampire hybrids who are LITERALLY build different to fight vampire monsters

“Outfits are all over the place”

ROYALS wear designer clothing and attend balls and ceremonies.

Non Royals try dressing up for these events but dress “normal”

Dhampirs dress in athletic clothing for training, all black uniforms for various events, and “normal” outfits.

The book discusses Rose dressed more practical as she began taking her training more serious, and the moroi esp royals would be in designer dresses and outfits, non royals wanting to imitate that on a budget which is exactly what’s is represented.

It’s clear the lack of understanding of how television works, we as book readers would LOVE to see every single last word played out EXACTLY how it was in the books but it’s not possible storytelling wise when creating a hit show that lasts and gains viewership. Some things and characters were changed because in the long run it will all come together and make sense both to book plots and the whole story the show is telling. If you weren’t so hellbent on hating this show you would see just how much Sisi, Daniela, and the whole cast play these characters so well, and what is being set up for the season and later seasons. The intention is to have all the books represented across many seasons and to even have bloodlines adapted. but it’s OUR support that will allow that to happen. So tired of the same ridiculous comments most of which stem from racism towards the cast and it’s unacceptable. Having a different/negative opinion is fine but hating and dragging the show down because you can’t open your eyes to what’s on the screen and making comments that are just false or hateful isn’t okay. I’d understand saying that you can’t enjoy this because the books aren’t playing out in the order you expected or wanted, or a character you liked was missing but saying the entire things is the absolute worst because natalie and aaron, the two most important VA characters are gone. natalie is in sonya and mia, a change, but one that connects these characters for many seasons provided direct links to each other to keep them in the show universe, not being gone for a season or two and coming back because a link between one random character to another small character back to another character do you see what I mean? anyways. I’m a virgo mercury and hate seeing things posted that are easily explainable and tear the show down because the cast doesn’t deserve that. Also yes Richelle does love it she doesn’t have to post or be on podcasts talking about how she appreciates the changes, ships victor and robert, loves seeing the show but she does!

"Why?" It's defiant in a way that is unusual to Dimitri. He's usually so easy to pry open but the more Levi demands the more he seems to clam up. "What are you going to do? Chase after his car? Beat the shit out of him?" The car is long gone by now. Dimitri can't even see the tail lights anymore. He's still standing in the doorway, not inviting Levi in but also not necessarily stopping him from coming inside either. Levi has to know that Dimitri won't turn him away. "It doesn't matter." He knows he's driving the other crazy, maybe is even doing it on purpose. Like he almost needs him to be like this so he can feel something. "He didn't touch me." Considering Dimitri was still wearing all of his clothes that looked like it might even be true. "Where've you been? What's the name of the guy you've been with?"

"Tell me who that was." Levi demands and he wishes it didn't sound closer to begging. "What was he doing here?" The blonde thinks that if he asks in a different way he might get an answer. He feels a little frantic with the need to know. Like he needs to know right now or he might go insane. The others question throws him off guard a little bit. "When I'm working it's not hooking up." Levi defends as he crosses his arms over his chest. "You were hooking up with that guy? What's his name?"

ok this is a deeply personal complaint and isn’t a slight to anybody in particular at all

one of the main reasons i don’t associate myself much with the d*milith/claudel*th/setl*th fandoms despite hanging in the edel/rhealeth ones has nothing to do with the relationships themselves but rather the fact that i almost always see femleth get… domesticated? ultra feminized? are those the right words? in these fan works.

idk i know byleth has a few outlines but enough room for creative liberties but i just find it odd how she’s almost always portrayed as soft/super feminine wife who just settles down and births babies and loves her hubby instead of like… an archbishop or queen. someone with personal goals and aspirations that she is working on. i never see this with manleth. he’s always taken pretty seriously and almost never in the context of uwu nuclear family like his female counterpart whenever he’s paired up with dimitri, claude, or seteth.

when she’s not in her enlightened one outfit she’s usually drawn as rhea 2.0. same white dress, golden crown, lilies, and motherly vibe. her black clothes are gone. her crazy ass sense of style is replaced with elegance and grace which aren’t really words i’d use to describe byleth. bc well… she’s not rhea. byleth and her style is her own and if she were archbishop or queen i don’t think she would wear an elegant dress all the time the way her predecessor would.

however in contrast when femleth is paired with the female cast her iconic shorts, her choppy hair, and quirky style and personality stay. the way she’s typically drawn isn’t like a pinup model but rather like the fighter she was. that’s why when i was tagged in this art it made me so happy! byleth is wearing pants!! it feels like such a low bar but to see post-war byleth be drawn in anything other than a dress is a bit harder to find.

anyways this is a very personal complaint and not shade towards anyone in particular. maybe it’s just my preference but i couldn’t help by notice these patterns of how femleth is drawn in her straight ships vs her wlw ones.

Rewatching episode 2 to ya know gear up for tonight. And wow Jason really a started off psychotic huh?

And Jason just fully off the deep end tries to find you to get info on where Eddie is.

I feel Jason wouldn’t think twice about fully hitting you at all. Like he thinks your a freak cause your dating Eddie and like you already got the call from Dustin and are gonna go meet up with them at family video. But Jason gets to your house first.

Oh lord just him back handing you and basically screaming in your face cause he’s insane. And just kicking him in the dick to escape.

Just getting to family video like

“Jason’s gone crazy, Chrissy’s death has him on a witch hunt from Eddie. We gotta find him and I know where he’ll be” and cue going to refer ricks house, and a soft reunion with Eddie.

For real though I think Eddie and Steve are safe. But Jason, Enzo/dimitri, murry, Erica, argyle, Dr owns and Brenner are very much not safe like Erica’s a 50/50 on if she lives but the others I’m like 99% are goners. Maybe argyle is safe. But like again 50/50

yeah no Jason’s a dick for real and absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to beat the hell out of you to get information on where Eddie is, and just for the hell of it bc he thinks you’re a freak too! I fully hope vecna takes his ass down in vol.2

and I actually have a small fic here about reuniting with Eddie at reefer ricks place if you fancy reading it <3

i really don’t know who’s gonna die tomorrow, I’m praying with everything in me that it’s not Steve and/or Eddie! the only one I feel fairly certain about is Murray, idk why I just don’t think Murray is gonna make it out of this season :(

- hope
