#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#mianmian#nie mingjue#jin guangyao#JGY is nothing but outwardly calm and carrying on his duties as the chair for the meeting#but in that small pause after Nie Mingjue commemorates Mianmian for leaving...you can feel the tension.#Because Nie Mingjue comes from a place of privilege. He's always been in a position where his legitimacy and political standing-#-were never challenged. He didn't have to fight for respect. He was born into this world respected.#For people like Mianmian and JGY who clawed their way up from the bottom...this is a huge deal.#Truth be told I have a lot of things to say about what it means and feels to be in a position where leaving is messy.#There are times where the situation is bad but to leave means that those years of your life will have been for nothing.#That all the other suffering incurred will be fruitless. So you just *keep going*. Because it *has* to be worth it.#Because going back to what you were before is even more terrifying than the hell you are boiling in.#My concrete example for this is post-grad academia.#Because that cohort will have spent over a decade pursuing a goal and leaving means...well...it means throwing away those years.#It means losing (likely nearly all) your connections. It means going into debt you'll never pay off.#It means putting up with some pretty heinous abuse from your supervisor because what are you suppose to do? Leave?#Leaving is for those with the privilege to have options.#And even if you do have options...#Ultimately we would rather love the pain we know than risk the unknown. Hoping it's worth it one day.#With that mindset established; never say JGY should have just left like Mianmian. He couldn't. This was what he dedicated his life to.#He never had the option. Even if it seemed like he did - no he did not. He never conceived this ending ever happening for himself.

Soap's the kind of person who just does things. And by that I mean he's the kind of online friend that randomly drops personal lore based on the topic that everyone is currently on. Like you say one thing and it's "oh yeah I've done that" and it's said so casually that you know he isn't lying
Which also means that if he's given a dare, even especially if it's said with the expectation that he won't and definitely shouldn't, he will be doing it.
Which is part of the reason that Ghost sticks around him so much, because he will cause pain and destruction.
And it's also the reason Gaz isn't allowed to give dares any more

ill speak my truth in your inbox: loser!könig crying with you if you cry from taking him anal
Loser!König sobbing harder than you are, thighs twitching and arms shaking, sniffling loudly while trying to breathe. fat tears obstructing his vision and wetting his flushed cheeks, eyebrows knit while he’s concentrating on not coming immediately. König is more of a mess than you are, and you’re the one getting speared open. if you start cooing at him to try and comfort him he cries harder because he feels so loved and all he can do is hiccup and try to swallow snot and spit, blinking away tears as he to kiss you
Loser!König whose hips are stuttering against his will, babbling cracked ‘sorry’s as he holds you closer. all he’s worked in is his ruddy, weeping tip and he’s already a wreck, face pressed to your neck while he cages you in against his mattress. he’s too overwhelmed, the fact you let him touch you at all had him reeling, let alone the fact you trusted him to push into you ass. he knows it can’t be comfortable even with his anxiously given foreplay and prep, dumbly mouthing at your neck as he gently ruts into you. muffled, broken whines leaving him as he drools and cries against you, white knuckling his sheets
#I love when König is a gross snotty mess#this is my truth#loser!könig#konig#könig#könig cod#könig call of duty#könig headcanons#konig x you#konig x reader#könig x you#könig x reader#gn!reader#cod#cod thoughts#call of duty#hit post

i will never shut up about jon promising to protect sansa in 6x09 and then the parallel of lyanna begging ned to promise to protect jon IN THE NEXT EPISODE. something something “if the day should ever come when your lord father was forced to chose between honor on the one hand and those he loves on the other what would he do?” and we KNOW ned picked love. ned loved his sister so much he lied to his king and bff to protect jon. ned loved his daughter so much he sacrificed his honor and duty to the realm and lied to protect sansa.
the writers intentionally put sansa at the center of jon and dany’s conflict. sansa’s not in king’s landing during the battle in 8x05 or 8x06 but she still haunts the narrative, her name is brought up by FOUR different characters. jon was ready to die if dany saw him as a threat to the throne. “i'm tired of fighting it’s all i've done since i left home.” and the only way to get through to him and to get him to fight again and to kill dany is to mention sansa and how she’ll never be safe with dany around. “if we don’t take back the north we’ll never be safe i want you to help me but i'll do it myself if i have to.”
and sansa is so used to being alone. she spent months waiting for robb to rescue her from king's landing, and it never happened. robb chose the north, his duty, over her. and she's beaten for the north's independence and then sold to two different families who stole the north from her. and then she finally finds help in theon and brienne and podrick but she doesn't feel completely safe again until she's in jon's arms. but even then she's still ready for more disappointment, to be separated from her family again because “life is not a song” and “there are no heroes.” but jon isn’t robb. “jon isn’t tormund. jon isn’t davos, or the red woman, or stannis for that matter. jon is jon.”
“where will you go? where will we go. i won’t ever let him touch you again. we need to trust each other. until i return the north is yours. touch my sister and i’ll kill you myself. what you did for her is the only reason i’m not killing you. i’m her family too. what about everyone else? what about the other people who think they know what’s good? i’ll protect you, i promise. no one can protect me, no one can protect anyone.” but jon proves her wrong, he can protect her. he will keep her safe. because when his day comes and he has to chose between love and duty, he chooses her. there still are heroes in her story and their story isn't over yet.
#jonsa#i have such a love hate relationship with that scene#because it makes jon look so bad that he tries justifying dany's actions#and he needs to be like convinced to take down a mass murderer to prevent more death#but the parallel to maester aemon's lesson (despite d&d trying to reverse it and say duty is the death of love - so dumb btw) is chef's kis#*kiss#ned protected lyanna’s son and lyanna’s son goes on to protect his daughter#also robb my beloved and my beloathed#my boy king#he chose his duty to his people over his love for his sister but then turns around and choses talisa/jeyne over his duty to the freys#also don’t get me started on how sansa saw jon making the same mistake she made in s1 in trusting joffrey#she’s not her father. no she’s much prettier#and she saved him from being a political hostage by telling the whole world the truth about his identity#*political hostage or even from death#vs ned saving jon by lying to the whole world about his identity#something poetic about sansa revealing ned’s lie to protect jon with the truth#anyway jonsa still giving me brainworms in 2024?? more likely than you think#i’m really going thru it today lmao#mine

Captain John Price formed a team, not a family. But sometimes the line is blurred in battle between "brothers in arms". And promises are like fire on the skin, because said in moments your soldiers will never forget. So when Simon “Ghost” Riley is imprisoned Task Force 141 is not just “one for one,” it is looking for a brother. And when Price finds him again the smile is all “well, I told you I wouldn't have you in this godforsaken shitho|e, didn't I?” no more corrupt COs, no men left behind.
(The hatching of the last drawing hurt my hand for a few hours, but hey it was worth it! Hope you enjoy COD fandom!)

I stand behind a podium before a crowd of hundreds. I lean into the mic and say "Russell Adler is bad at sex." As I turn to leave amidst the outraged booing I am shot in the head. In the crowd with a smoking gun is Russell Adler himself.

"Everything went wrong after David Bowie died" "everything went wrong after the Reformation"
Me, whose Metaphysics studies and medievalist interests have been heavily shaped by Dominicans: everything went wrong after Ockham et al. sustained the primacy of Will before Good in the nature of God.
#Theology#Christianity#Catholicism#it's funny because it's one of those discussions that sound extremely Byzantine#But if Good precedes Will in God then God's Will is primarily good#and its goodness must be discerned rationally by the creature#but if Will precedes Goodness then good is essentially and substantially arbitrary#God could have perfectly chosen to create a world where murder is always a good and heroic action#or where one's first duty is to make everyone's lives as miserable as possible#And that would be literally good and the good in such a world because God so willed it#such an understanding of the primacy of will on the ontological order leads to an understanding of reality as dominated by power#and in that scheme self-serving manipulations of religion and Scripture are not only easy but rationally justified#that's the where and why of Benedict XVI's motto being cooperatores veritatis#the cooperators or servants of truth#because Truth cannot be possesed and used#it can only be sought and followed after#in honesty and humility#which again ties back to the supremacy of good (and its transcendental truth) in the metaphysical order#EDIT: this is also where strain-the-mosquito-swallow-the-camel legalistic attitudes come from#Because if what's good is what is defined by the will of God as expressed in textual commands#then any comprehensive rational inquisitive reading is out of the question#and will-infused casuistry is in#Biblical literalism can only thrive in this sort of tradition#“where does it say in the Bible that [insert hyperspecific thing...”#but it's also the environment in which the kind of attitude denounced in pharisees#as sticking to precepts without embracing the moral good that sustains them#and so twisting said precepts to their own convenience

Gaz: Ok so, zombies are all around you and you’re about to die. Do you sacrifice ghost or yourself?
Soap: Ghost, obviously
Ghost, severely offended: You didn’t even think about it!
Soap: It’s only because you’re hot. If I died, you’d end up helping and saving someone on a random day from a small group of zombies. After you save them, you two become friends and end up having this really weird slow burn of falling in love and saving each other all the time. Then, after a close call, you two would kiss and shit. I can’t have that happening.
Gaz: Soap, hon, maybe you should go talk to your therapist

Loser!König whose heart is pumping rapidly when you smile up at him. it’s not a huge gesture, just a small quirk of your lips, but König feels like he can barely swallow. flushed from the neck up under his hood, he’s staring down at you, icy gaze locked on you
Loser!König that doesn’t know what to do with his hands when you’re around. constantly moving them around - in his pockets for a moment, flat against his thighs the next. god forbid you hold hands with him, he’s shaky, palms a little sweaty as he goes weak in the knees
CW: overstimulation, weepy Loser!König
Loser!König that’s bucking his hips up - head lolled back as he moves you up and down on his cock. his grip on your hips is a little too hard, the fat of your hips spilling around his thick fingers. his eyes are screwed shut, your own moans falling on deaf ears. he’s moaning loudly, fat tip hitting you a little too deep
Loser!König overstimulating himself with you - overstimulating you too by proxy. he’s too lost in the feeling of you wrapped around him, drool pooling in his mouth before he swallows, whining when you kiss him. he’s fucking you down against him, a doll in his hands as he mumbles apologies and pleads for more
Loser!König that lazily thrusts up, his face pressed to your neck when he cums - mouth latching onto your throat. he can’t stop, his cock leaking even after he’s come down from his high. it’s automatic, the way he keeps you pressed down to his base, desperately grinding you against him
Loser!König babbling nonsense when you try to pull off of him, his arms wrapping around your waist as he begs you for one more orgasm - just one more, he promises. fat tears stuck to his eyelashes as he looks at you, another buck of his hips has you going limp against his chest. he’s sorry, Liebling, but you feel so good around him. hot and tight, it has him dumbly mumbling about how much he loves you. he promises just one more, promises one more again and again

expanding on my previous post about orym witnessing cyrus's funeral
the silken squall burn their deceased over open bodies of water or forests, so their spirits can keep travelling after their bodies are gone
because of this, they have to move the city to the closest body of water/forest
the loved ones or volunteering magic users take turns watching over the body and keeping it cold. it's also a way for the deceased to not be left alone, assuring them their community is with them until the end
during the few days of travel, the immediate family will be showered with love, provided with food and having their house cleaned by their neighbours/friends/distant family. this is to give them time to mour and to prepare the cremation ceremony
dorian's house is the biggest tent in the city, made of probably a few dozen tents connected between each other and almost as tall as a two-story building
everyone lives in portable homes but it's colorful and organized. the tents have creative patterns either weaved, embroidered or painted on them. the stone roads make mosaics of air genasi motifs
the wyvernwind home is the only one covered with a huge linen roofing, though the normal colorful tent peaks underneath it
the entire wyvernwind is dressed in linen. not entirely, though, just their jewelry. dorian is always impeccably dressed, but his rings, earrings, boots, belt and shoulder piece has linen sewn around it. his father and mother are the same
dorian is almost always busy watching cyrus's body, recepting other air genasi that wish to bring food to the wyvernwinds, hand-making the wooden boat that will burn with cyrus in a few days
orym spends a lot of time with goyan enlil-wyvernwind, dorian's mom, since zeru wyvernwind seems to have assumed most of the work on land
(orym suspects the man is avoiding his grieving home's emotional needs like the plague)
they talk a lot about dorian - his childhood, his adventures outside that city, his music, his fight - but she also seems interested about orym
more than once orym thinks if she actually wants to know about his life with the air ashari and how much it's her common diplomatic gait
"the linen?" she answers orym. it took him three days to build courage to ask. "have you noticed how our skin looks against the sky?"
goyan was the slightest darker than dorian, though her hair was a lighter blue. the resemblance to her son was undeniable, even if her eyes were green like cyrus's
"you look like the sky on a clear day"
"every day is clear up here" she said with a smile. "under all this linen, against the blue, what do we look like?"
"clouds" orym answered, and she nodded. "we look like clouds. it's an old tradition that says that, if we cover our loved one in linen, we'll not be saying goodbye to a loved one, but to a cloud passing by."
she managed to say the entire thing with posture, but drops everything she's holding and covers her mouth, breathing hard. "oh no, my baby! my baby, my baby, my baby..."
and orym comforts her, knowing too well what she's feeling
orym can't help to watch cyrus, but he's everywhere else: his hands bleed after cutting all the wood for the boat, he seems to be the only reason dorian remembers to eat and drink water, and he loses his sleep to hold his insomniac lover
"i'm such a fucking failure. i suck, i suck so much. i can't do this, orym, i can't fucking do this" dorian growls against his chest
"i'm right here, my love. we'll do this together. you're doing incredibly, i'm so proud of you."
"it should be him in my place. i was never meant to be here, this not my place"
orym swallows the vision of unconscious dorian in his arms under the radiant gaze of predathos. he wants to smack dorian for saying nonsense, but he knows that pain too well. "not a lot of people can say they were so loved until the very end. in times of chaos, you are giving cyrus the treatment of a prince."
"i barely feel like myself most of the time. i can't remember the days."
and orym holds him, because he knows how it feels
zeru comes back the morning of the ceremony, the sixth day of orym's stay. his skin is ashy and his light blue eyes have sunk into his skull
goyan is keeping him company, touching his arm, his face, his back - and he leans into the touch every time with fail
they have a family meal and zeru avoids dorian's gaze at all costs. orym doesn't know if dorian noticed, because his gaze is equally focused on the table
by the end of the day, the city is reunited, with the wyvernwinds ahead, by the edge of the silken squall. beneath them, the ocean glistens dark blue and purple
cyrus's boat is perfectly tailored for his size, filled with a few of his belongings and his body fully protected by linen. before sending it away, an old genasi lady cuts off the linen on the wyvernwinds clothes and puts the fabric in the boat as well
cyrus floats away, though always closest to dorian than anyone else in the world
dorian whistles a tune as a guard raises a flaming arrow, that flies when the tune ends
fire silently burns the boat into dust as the dozens of genasi watched in complete silence. the only heir of the silken squall holds himself up, though his fingers squeeze orym's painfully
the first time dorian and zeru look at each other is when the last pieces of brumestone fall and there's nothing else to watch. father and son look nothing alike, orym notices - zeru's angular jaw and broad built is an almost ghostly replica of cyrus. dorian's dimples and loose waves resemble his mother a lot more
they don't say a word. dorian's tears are loud and choked, cutting the night air like a knife to the gut. zeru's tears are ragged and tired, ringing with his deep voice, like the land cried with him
goyan hold both of them, closing themselves from the rest of the world
orym decides to leave with the other genasi citizens back to his quarters. as much as he promised he'd be there for him, this was the time for the wyvernwinds. when dorian needs him, he'll be right there to help and support him, like dorian is for him
the night fell, but the sun will always rise in the end
#critical role#dorym#orym of the air ashari#dorian storm#cyrus wyvernwind#long post#not my best work but i neeeeeeded to get this out of my system#named dorian's mom bc not having her official name is a CRIME#goyan/gouyen means wise in Apache (if google didn't fail me)#i picture her and orym becoming best friends#the wyvernwind family has layers and layers of unresolved emotional issues about how their duties affected their bonds#zeru swears he never pressured dorian but the truth is that no expectation was pressure enough#goyan would use ring of truth on them and punish them harshly for indiscipline as much as she would comfort them#dorian and cyrus were friends but their age gap and difference of treatment always put this competitive barrier between them#orym is witnessing it all and thinking '...damn'#'i'll have to create the concept of therapy to get around here'#edit jfc this has so many spelling mistakes im sorry#not only i'm dyslexic and english is my second language it's also 5am
