#do I cherish him? yes

I'm not a solavellan person I just really like rotating Solas in my brain like a microwave. He is so interesting. He's something different to everyone who knows him. Your intentions shape his approach when interacting with you. He is wisdom and pride and hope and a pain and a friend and a villain and someone's love. He's been twisted against his purpose so many times by so many people I don't think he even knows what his "purpose" is anymore. He is so fucked up. He's such a fucked up little guy. The only part of him that's remained the same all this time is tangled up in the tightest knot of regret you could ever imagine.
Everyone talks about whether they hate or love him. But like... that's kind of the point of him isn't it? If you hate him he commits to pissing you off as much as possible and if you love him he tears himself to shreds and ties his regret knot tighter just for you. There is no winning in his rule book. There is just failure or success, and he's experienced so little of the latter that it's made him willing to tear the world apart just for one tiny success. Just the smallest barest of successes. And then he'd turn around and see the damage left in the wake and fall apart all over again. He can never let go of anything.
As a character i love how he is written. As a person i think I would despise him face to face. He's like anxiety personified. All the what ifs lumped together. Every "I wasn't good enough" that anyone has ever thought. He's also none of these things. He could choose to be whatever he wants but he's so attached to his past and origins and chained to his perception of himself that he'll never let himself change.
I hope that after an ending where he's persuaded to join the veil, that he manages to figure out how to just be a little guy again. Just some guy. He deserves that I think.
#datv spoilers#solas#I just think he's neat :)#this was not supposed to be an essay#but here we are now#is he my favorite dragon age character? no#do I cherish him? yes#thought dump

I love the idea of Machete healing some unresolved stuff about himself because he realizes the things he resented about himself when he was younger are traits that Ear has but because he loves Ear it helps him to realize those traits aren't inherently unlovable. Do you think Machete or Vasco would be helicopter parents?
.
#yes I absolutely agree#parenthood would be something that could prompt him to re-evaluate and process his self-image in a constructive way#it's common and ordinary thing for people to experience but it also enables tremendous character growth#and I like the idea of someone like him#who doesn't come across as family oriented person and doesn't see himself as fit to raise a child#subverting expectations and doing really solid job as a parent#also in the original setting his personal life is kind of devoid of living things if that makes sense#he has his books and papers and collections of commissioned art but he doesn't cultivate anything that grows#that's why it'd be nice if in the modern au they had something to take care of#a pet or even some cherished houseplants would be a good start if they don't want to commit to an entire Ear#answered#anonymous#they would actively try to avoid acting too much like helicopter parents but the results would vary#modern au#kid named Ear

So we know that in the novel that ludger cherish is compared to a raven, he has that whole dark aesthetic going on, and not to mention one of his identities uses a plague doctor mask which is very “raven” looking (idk if that one’s a stretch or not). But he also is highly intelligent, and mimicry- something that ravens are known for- is something he does with ease. (also fun fact that I didn’t know until comparing the two, ravens uses ‘non-verbal’ or ‘hand gestures’ to communicate, and in the manwa you can clearly see that ludger cherish often uses his hands when speaking. And I thought that was funny.)
so what if he also liked collecting shiny things like ravens as well? We already know he can easily be swayed by money yeah? So my personal head cannon, Heathcliff/ludger cherish, loves to collect shiny things. That shiny Little Rock (his), that shiny thing that came out of Quasimodo (snatched), that cute little hair pin (finders keepers). But not just shiny things, things like books as well. That small notebook sized dictionary (might as well), that thick book that’s really far too inconvenient to lug around? (Who’s gonna stop him? Casey? She’s currently helping him.)
#academy's undercover professor#casey selmore#ludger cherish#headcanon#I imagine he’s like a little corvid with a nest that’s piled high with things he likes.#But all of it’s neatly categorized and meticulously organized.#He like Ariel fr#His collection isn’t complete people!#Yes he has several copies of the same book!#But this one has the authors signature!#And don’t get him started on the rocks#“Alchemy items” oh what type of alchemy? Don’t ask questions. Who do you think you are? Casey?

Hi!! Feel free to ignore, but I was just thinking about kid silver being adorable AND Halloween because of the upcoming event...and this thought was born—
(This is so long I'm sorry 😭😭)
So, Silver gets de-aged (bear with me here lol)—maybe due to a potions mishap or a spell gone wrong, it doesn't matter which. It's during Halloween week, so everyone's kinda frazzled due to everything being set up, etc. Lilia gets called to deal with it while Crewel tries to figure out a counter-potion/spell wears off because nobody can get in touch with Malleus, and therefore goes to Diasomnia's vice to help take care of Silver (not knowing that they're father & son).
Silver spots Lilia and yells "Papa!" while running to hug Lilia—while Lilia tries to cover up what Silver said. Regardless, he still picks Silver up and cuddles him—he's a silly old man who loves his kid, who can blame him?
Anyway, kid Silver hijinks ensue: running off with the animals on campus, taking naps surrounded by deer, birds, squirrels, etc., calling Malleus "big brother" and Lilia "papa" while around other Diasomnia students (they wouldn't say anything, because Malleus looks so endeared by the little human and Lilia glares and hisses *unknowingly* at any of them who DARE to interrupt their family).
Silver sees Sebek and looks back at Lilia. He's like, "Why did you make him so tall?? Papa, change him back, please!" *cue puppy eyes* he genuinely thinks Lilia pranked him. As much as Sebek says that he dislikes Silver's behavior, he's actually the one to take him everywhere. "You shouldn't miss so much school, Silver! I won't let you besmirch Waka-sama's good name!"
OK, but back to Halloween—Silver dresses up as a knight, or a prince. Maybe a unicorn??? DRAGON?? Any of them are cute tbh. Anyway, they end up going to each dorm to trick or treat (on Halloween night ofc) and Silver charms everyone, because he's Silver. Then, you have Lilia behind him just being the creepiest little demon fae you've ever had the misfortune to see...
As they're going to one of the dorms to get more candy, Silver sees another kid pouting at the lack of candy said dorm has, and their meager amount. Silver, despite having only a few more pieces himself, gives the kid most of his, and gives the other kid a hug. "There, there, you can have some of mine."
Honestly, you can do whatever you want with this, but I'd love to see this written out more coherently, if you want lol
I've been thinking about this for a while, and I NEED more kid Silver being cute and adorable and pure!! He deserves to be cuddled by his family and to eat candy :D
oh my goodness, this whole entire prompt was adorable and thank you for practically writing the premise into my inbox!! i'm not sure this is coherent.....or cuddly....but my mood with lilia has been in a pretty introspective place for sometime so i do hope you find something to enjoy :')
(and i did end up keeping that paragraph after so many of you seemed to like it akaldjll what do i know about anything)
for a fae as long-lived as he, the concept of time is an ephemeral thing. one does not count the years in a decade nor the decades in a century; a fae knows time by the erosion of a mountainside, by the loneliness of an abandoned settlement, or even by the chance meeting of a human wearing the face of another long since passed.
silver fills his arms, helmet askew and heavy with satisfied slumber, and lilia feels the ache of every day that has gone by since he was last able to cradle his son so tenderly in his embrace.
he may be the only fae that now minds his days by the sharpening of his son’s features, a change emerging far too quick and now, strangely, unwelcome.
beside him, serene, the heir apparent to the valley of thorns— looking most pleased himself in their resplendent costumes so artfully reminiscent of the admirable long, yet any dignified mysticism is rendered charmed by the plastic pumpkin bucket clutched in his crimson-tipped claws, brimming with brightly wrapped candy. the overflow is nearly double the amount given to the visiting children, even with silver eagerly dispensing his sugary treasures to any who asked, for no dorm had been able to resist his solemn request coupled with those adorably drowsy eyes and plastic sword when he had so politely asked for one piece more so that their prince might experience trick or treating for the first time. not wanting to be the dorm known for stiffing the fae heir on the most magic-blessed night of them all, both toddling knight and noble dragon walked away, tiny hand in careful claw, with a bounty piled high between them and matching smiles on their twin eager faces.
lilia had been so torn over which to get a photo of first, cheeks aching from stifling his laughter; the vulnerable delight on malleus’ face as silver so kindly presented him with his share of candy, or sebek’s ill-disguised fussing as silver’s sword had slipped from its sheath to drag across the ground.
what kindness to be able to share such precious memories with them once again.
what cruelty to remind him of what would disappear tomorrow morning, crewel’s antidote ready and waiting for them in the dorm.
“...i can see why silver enjoyed such a night of festivity and why he spoke on those memories with you so fondly,” malleus’ reflective tone scatters his wandering thoughts, leaving him to pull his focus back to the present with no small amount of difficulty. “I wish i could have participated in the revelry, but i understand now why you might not have invited me, lilia. the presence of their prince would have dampened any carefree spirits, and i would not have wanted to spoil the fun.”
a wry smile tugs at his lips at malleus’ inaccurate assessment, crooked and out of place, and he can feel the prince’s gaze weighty upon him with surprise, brows furrowing and lips parting with the question on his tongue—
there had been no such festivities, no happily shrieking village children for silver to scamper among, sharing in the night’s delights and trickery with all the innocence of youth.
there had only been an old fool of a general, taking it upon himself to fumble through the recreation of a human spectacle, for no other reason than he could not bear the sight of the boy’s features even mildly unhappy.
he might have wondered how far he could have fallen to find himself repeatedly affecting surprise as he opens the door time and time again to a giggling child, but he knows better now; he had always been steeped in a miserable, lonesome darkness, and to nurture the vulnerable child curled into his chest was to bask in an undeserving light.
without consent, his arms tighten around the slumbering boy in his arms, and malleus is wise enough not to comment.
“I do wonder if silver will be able to remember tonight’s events,” lilia comments lightly as they continue their walk to the dorm, seemingly apropos of nothing and unbothered by the watchful gaze of his young companion.
and he wonders which is more selfish; to wish it so, to have his son’s head filled with such saccharine-sweet dreams of a proper halloween as only a sweet and darling boy like none other deserves— or to cling to the lonely truth of the past, in which a bruised and battered soldier finds a purpose too kind for his bloodied hands in protecting that high and clear laughter of his child, delighting over and over again in the simple fact of his father opening the door.
#lettie's asks#twisted wonderland silver#twst silver#lilia vanrouge#twst lilia#i couldn't not put it in the tags after you practically gifted me a story of its own <3#something something lilia experiencing a Regret about the loneliness of silver's childhood#and all that was stolen from him#but also that painful notion of a 700 yr old war veteran needing this human child to feel better about himself again#each of them wondering if the other cherishes those memories as much as they do (spoiler: yes.)#ah diasomnia#how you wreck me

I get emotional sometimes about the tradition of giving kids the names of loved ones who’ve passed on
#my sisters and I are all named after grandmothers in my family#and it makes me emotional sometimes#we never met these people but we know they were loved and cherished#and my brother and sister in law have said if they do have kids they’re going to name them after Granpa Leo#who passed away when my mother was still young so none of us met him#but he was alive in the stories everyone told of him#sorry that’s just love you know?#I loved you and I lost you but I love you so much I’m giving your memory to this person you never got to meet 😭😭😭#anyway IM never having kids but I fully endorse this culture yes yes it’s good shit#mine

okay i haven't been on a lesbian date in some time and i had a nice time with this woman and we have a lot to talk about (we also apparently have mutual friends which is encouraging) but i am once again at the crossroads of do i want to be her friend or do i want to kiss her does anyone have advice for this sadly very common issue
#it's hard on a chatty midmorning coffee date to figure out how much physical attraction there is yknow#i weirdly don't tend to have this problem with men since while i love and cherish my male friends i find that my desire to have friendships#with new men is usually minimal. usually on dates with men for me it's like do i want to ghost him or kiss him#the obvious answer is to just keep going out with her until i know but the thing is i'm out of town for the next three weekends#(yes i am exhausted just thinking about it)#and my capacity for weeknight dating is minimal atm though i could overcome this if i was sure i wanted to kiss her#rare pic of me in the wild

middle of a match my pc started lagging like crazy and added with my shaking hand it made it really difficult to move because the mouse kept going to a different tab and it got to a point where this heavy asked me if i was a bot 🥲
#i couldve made it funny by doing the sniper mimic thing and nodding yes and then exploding#but my headache addled brain could not think of something as funny as that at the moment. sad#but it was pretty fun overall albeit i missed my vaccinator a little#i have had it for less than like. 2 days? but it is my friend now and i cherish him#but the everyone is stuck as stock is pretty fun and chaotic so#maybe i can squeeze in an extra match or two before eep. maybe#tf2

for the record, i really appreciate your kindness. toward me, yeah, but especially raz. you, uh, can probably imagine he don't get much compassion. which... i hope you don't feel obligated, since he can be an ass to you, too. but, uh... yeah. i can't express how much it means to me nonetheless.

#i did try to formulate a thoughtful response#but my brain broke a little bit i think so the silly creature is a placeholder while i think#i will say first that i absolutely cherish you as a friend and i am very glad that we met#:) the internet is truly a wonderful thing that we were able to connect even with a universe in between us#you are truly a special man!#as for razlo... yes he can be a bit prickly#and an ass#but i do like him#and i hope that he likes me too?#if he doesn't then i can at least settle with being tolerated hehehe#but no worries about me#:) i do not plan on going anywhere#answered.

I don't pay attention to MCU anymore, and honestly, I only really like certain aspects of it in retrospect, such as the Steve Rogers's stuff. I think about how outrageously wrong the writers were for writing him having sex before marriage (fornication). First of all, considering the character and values Steve had throughout the entire Infitnity Saga prior to Endgame, it comes off as widely out-of-character for him to having done that before. I'm (not) sorry, but Steve has a massive "I'll have her home by 8, sir. Don't worry." energy to him that I highly doubt he would've even been comfortable with the idea of sex outside of marriage. Steve is a correct type of man, and he'd very probably see it as disrespectful to her for him to do that. He's the type to stop before they go any further, actually, because he feels and knows it's not right. You have to add the fact that he was very probably raised as a Catholic. I don't care how you headcanon him and how much times have changed, Steve is a "by-the-book" kind of guy when it came to that and other things. Was he perfect? Of course not, but I'm (not) sorry, he would've waited until marriage. This isn't even just a baseless headcanon given how it's pretty in-character for him.
#steve rogers#mcu#infinity saga#meta#mcu meta#txt#and yes there are men like him#i know a whole lot of you find it impossible to believe but that's only because you have yet to encounter a godly man#steve is a godly man#he'd protect provide for cherish honor love and nurture the woman in his life cuz he is a man of god#nobody is saying he is flawless he would commit mistakes#but he'd try to do right regardless#he is a great example of christian/biblical masculinity in fiction#and his relationship with bucky is an example of brotherhood founded in god#there are actually many great biblically masculine characters. steve is one of them#prior to the mess that was endgame but that isn't considered canon around these corners anyways
