a personal belief about Tres Horny Boys that I'm really drawn to is that wherever they go (especially as a group), they're constantly making everyone of compatible orientations fall in love with them with their combined good looks and bumbling roguish charms, but:

Merle is one random lightbulb moment away from realizing he's aromantic,

Magnus has been romance-averse since Raven's Roost, and has a profound disinterest in the "special someone comes along to Fix that" trope, and

Taako would be down to clown, except his Openly Gay, Closeted Goth Standards are so astronomically high that only someone as goth and moderately unhinged as Literal Grim Reaper could ever hope to meet them — and frankly, Taako kinda doesn't register flirting from people below his league as anything different than another adoring fan. time to autograph their face and then immediately forget their name

I'm sorry guys but James wasn't Regulus' gay awakening.

It was Remus.

Sirius took it upon himself to show everyone at Hogwarts his little brother as soon as Reggie entered the train in his first year. Reggie was embarrassed, Sirius was loud and talked to everyone, and little eleven year old Reggie wasn't used to talking to people he didn't know, much less crowds. He held his older brother's hand as Sirius went around the train introducing him to every person he met. He was surprised by how many people Sirius knew.

Reggie's cheeks, which were chubby because of how small he still was, were red and he looked like a little strawberry. After his brother introduced him to so many people that he couldn't even remember their names -even though little Reggie tried hard to remember each one of them- Sirius said he would introduce him to his friends. Sirius looked especially excited about that and Reggie couldn't help but feel excited too, copying the smile Sirius had on his face.

The first person Sirius introduced him to was a chubby, blonde boy; his name was Peter. Reggie shook his hand politely, although he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at how sweaty the boy's hand was. Surreptitiously, Reggie wiped his hand on his uniform as he waited for Sirius to introduce him to the second person.

For a second, Reggie thought an adult had stepped between them, but that wasn't the case. Reggie looked up, looking at the boy who was looking over everyone else's heads. Looking down at him, the tall boy Sirius called Rem offered him his hand to shake. Regulus blushed.

There was something; Reggie was too young and too innocent to know what, but there was something that had shaken Reggie's stomach at the sight of that boy. And not in a bad way.

He shook his hand, as he had done before, not taking his eyes off the tall boy until Sirius introduced the third person.

“And this is James” Only then Reggie stopped looking at Remus and saw him. A boy with messy hair, as if he had never combed it in his life, with his tie wrong and with his glasses taped together.

That was the first time Regulus saw James.

“Hi I'm James” The boy said, smiling at him, extending his hand towards him. Regulus couldn't help but notice the dimple that had formed only on his right cheek and his canine tooth that stood out from the others. Regulus looked at his hand and then back at him, and, for some reason, he smiled.

“I'm Regulus” the younger boy said, shaking the other boy's hand. This time, it was James who blushed.

Can you believe Sanderson wrote a fridged woman who came back from the dead to raise hell about the fact that she was fridged for her husbands character development and then when she kills herself in her husbands arms about it, she goes right back in the fridge, nobody on page thinks about Paalm's life and legacy beyond how that situation impacted Wax and Harmony's relationship. Can you believe that Wayne died before he could live for more than a few hours without the weight of guilt for his crime as a teenager weighing him down and keeping him from dreaming too big about what he could be, an emotional lever used sometimes very obviously to manipulate him like at the party in sos... it's wild how there's this whole narrative about Sazed's ineffable motives and his mistakes as a little baby god, making Wax the omelas kid of having free will in order to shape the future, and it's so far in the subtext of some very okay action movies that I am never sure what's put there intentionally and what isn't

It's giving 'older brother's best friend who everyone has a crush on and wants to impress'

[veryberryjelly]

Hi! I love your fan fictions! I was wondering (First time requesting ever) if you could do a FIC for Mattheo or Theodore based on exile and the readers dealing with self hate, and anxiety , and they feel so alone and push him away because the readers scared to accept her feelings and afraid she’ll get left, and no one loves or cares about her? ALSO THAT FANFIC U JUST MADE WAS SO CUTE OMG-

𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

🥰 thank you, this request is so up my street, i hope you enjoy it

also, i took this to mean body issues kinda self hate, i hope that's what you were going for. <3

this was unprecedented.

you had a date to the yule ball.

your best friend had asked you a couple of weeks ago and you were more than excited to accept his offer.

you had been crushing on him for two years.

and even though you were pretty sure he was asking you as a friend, this was an opportunity you could not pass up.

you and your girl friends had dedicated a saturday to dress shopping three weeks before the ball at a shop in hogsmeade.

while your friends had no trouble picking the perfect dresses very quickly, it took you a lot longer to find one that didnt accentuate every single flaw you could pin point in the mirror.

in the end you chose the dress you felt looked best.

you wanted to look beautiful for mattheo.

but even with a beautiful dress you didnt feel good enough for him. he was perfect and you really weren't.

in the few weeks between getting your dress and the dance, you seemed to recede into yourself.

keeping quiet during meals and spending most of your time in your dorm with the curtains drawn around your bed.

as you stood there in your dorm before the dance, you couldnt even bring yourself to look in the mirror.

you knew you didnt look as good as your friends.

or any of the other girls in the school for that matter.

one by one your dorm mates filtered out of the room in their dresses and down to the common room to meet their dates.

sitting on the edge of your bed, you could not move.

you didnt want to go down there and disappoint.

but it seemed that staying in your dorm didnt stop mattheo from seeing you in your dress.

a knock at your door attracted your attention and you picked up your eyes from where they had been focused on your fiddling hands.

you found mattheo stood in your doorway.

you were almost floored with how good he looked in a suit.

" hey, what're you doing up here? been waiting for you downstairs " he spoke simply, approaching where you sat on your bed.

" 'm sorry. i didn't mean to keep you waiting for so long..." you dropped your eyes back down to your hands, running the fabric of your dress between your fingers.

" don't worry about it, love. just want to know how someone who looks so beautiful can seem so upset. " his hand lifted to brush some hair behind your ear.

beautiful...

" i- i don't feel beautiful.." were the only words you could muster to come out of your mouth.

" what..." his words were quiet and stunned.

he stood from your bed and you feared he was realising that you were right and leaving.

so you clenched your eyes shut to prevent any tears falling from your eyes and to prevent you from seeing him walk out that door.

but when you felt his hands on yours, your eyes fluttered open again and you found him crouched infront of you with both of your hands clenched in his.

" sweetheart, you are the most beautiful girl i've ever seen... "

" you're just saying that, i know i'm not as pretty as the other girls here-"

" you cannot compare yourself to those girls. they're rude and dull and none of them hold a candle to how stunning you are "

suddenly you felt like you should cry for a whole other reason.

In my opinion

Frank was James' gay awakening ;

Remus gay awakening was a very very random boy he only met once ;

Mary was Lily's gay awakening and Lily was Mary's gay awakening (the cuties) ;

Dorcas was Marlene's gay awakening ;

Pandora has no gay awakening, girl was born and knew already ;

Euphemia Potter was Marlene's gay awakening (she saw her the first time on the train plateform)

And Remus was Sirius', Regulus', Barty's and Evan's gay awakening and this is canon btw.

HEADCANNON - Dorcas soooo had a crush on Narcissa!! Cissy was her awakening. And when she got engaged she was crushed!

Hot take: Even though I love that he beat the Miquellallegations, pre-dlc Mohg was so much better and had a lot to go for in terms of power, potential and how conniving and dedicated he was to achieve his goal. I miss him.

Also the premises for a Lord of Blood ending were right there. It would've been an interesting alternative option where you as a player, not only as a Tarnished, are giving up both your role as main character and your quest to become Elden Lord, thus letting someone else seize that opportunity.

I understand Miquella's plan for godhood and the creation of a gentler world (which is still ultimately destined to fail if we intervene and avoid having our heart stolen by him), but it removed so much agency from Mohg in particular, in my opinion.
