Can I ask why isn't your boyfriend with you? I thought you worked together?

Different work ahdkaks he's not a firefighter, he's just a paramedic. He does know some of my crew tho bc he's come hiking with us a few times, but he's not part of any fire division, so he can't just tag along. The medic license just gets him access to closed roads and such bc he's a first responder, but other than that he's basically just a normal civilian in this whole situation

#not snz #imagine not having a red card lmao what a scrub #no but fr he's never been interested in the fire side of this #if he was he'd definitely belong to a department #it's just me who likes running directly into fire lmao zero self preservation skills #if nothing else I'm reckless and kinda stupid ahskakdlsl i have fun tho #I'm slightly less reckless on purpose now bc i have ✨ responsibilities ✨ but still #anyway no the boyf is not allowed on the fire line #no idea when the next time we're actuslly working together is bc #ya know #everything's still burning to the ground #but him not being here means he's safe so 😌#partner posting

kinda fucked up that bridgerton season 3 took eloise and colin's very valid, very real grievances with penelope and turned it into "oh yeah we were just jealous of her this whole time" like... wtf was that

#no real resolution no real consequences everything is forgiven and forgotten just awful writing all throughout honestly #its still so fucked up especially on eloise's part bc the writing regarding her feelings and #eventual dislike of lwd in the first two seasons were so STRONG AND CONSISTENT #season 3 just burned that all to the ground in order to prop up penelope and validate her #bridgerton #**

If Arcane was going to show us a “perfect world”, an alternate universe where Zaun never sunk (which is already a thing btw!) makes infinitely more sense than implying that Vi's death would fix classism somehow.

#at some point Season Two just decided to pretend that classism isn't really a thing and the central tragedy is an entirely interpersonal one #that could've been averted at the want of a nail #which is not true at all! everything in Season One came down to larger sociopolitical issues #if it wasn't Silco it would've been the Enforcers and if it wasn't the Enforcers it would've been the pollution #something was always gonna go wrong because everything has already gone wrong before the story even started #also I find it hard to believe that Powder would simply keep on living without any major changes after Vi died #this should still end up creating Jinx. just a slightly different Jinx who wants to burn Piltover to the ground for taking her sister #but might end up working with Silco anyway because their goals align #I've thought about this AU before and I still think it's a more natural direction for Powder's character #the girls are far too codependent not to be fundamentally altered by another's death #Arcane S2 spoilers #Arcane #Arcane critical

Modern au:

When Dorian started dating Manon, he was able to see a few things in her that made him suspect something was off. At that point, he was able to see the pressure her grandmother put her under and he felt helpless in the face of that kind of thing.

Manon was really going out of her way to make sure everything is perfect and yet her grandmother kept scrutinizing her.

At formal events, he got to see that first hand. Manon would be super stressed, it would get worse about 2-3 days prior where her anxiety is at it’s peak; she won’t be able to sleep, and can’t keep anything down.

Dorian can see all of her effort and yet her grandmother’s responses are a variety of

“Don’t embarrass me,”

“What a disgrace,”

“This is worthless,”

And it really angers him.

But that was nothing compared to what he saw when they moved in together.

Prior to that, Manon was able to maintain her mask of aloofness and perfection. It was only when they lived together than Dorian saw how she struggles with insecurity and abandonment issues.

He learned of the long months she’d spend at boarding school, her grandmother wouldn’t allow her to return home if her grades are anything below a 100%. She’d call her an embarrassment and let her spend the holidays studying and making up for those grades.

He also saw how she struggles with boundaries sometimes. Moreover, he noticed that she instantly panics whenever she thinks that she made a mistake. Like forgetting her jacket on the counter, or leaving some of her work behind on the coffee table.

Dorian hates hates hates how her grandmother turned her into this person. She honestly believes that as soon as she commits the tiniest mistake, Dorian is going to leave and find someone better. He told her time and again that he doesn’t want anyone else, better or worse. He wants only her and nothing will ever change that.

But of course, his reassurance does nothing to elevate those issues that have been there for two decades. All he can is promise to always be there, that no matter what happens he isn’t going to leave or find someone else.

Now another issue is their families. They attend the same social circles and their families no each other. Chaol is against their relationship because he wants someone other than a Blackbeak to be with his friend. Aelin doesn’t care much, she tries to get along with Manon but the two of them don’t spend any time together to have any sort of relationship.

Then there are his parents; Georgina wants to pick her son’s lifelong partner. The fact that he’s with the Blackbeak heir infuriates her to no end.

Now normally he would ignore everyone and does as he pleases. However, now that he lives with Manon and knows exactly how vulnerable she is, he had a meeting with his parents and Chaol.

He sat them all down, and told them in no certain terms that if he brings Manon over for a visit, if any one of them make her feel unwanted, he’d get her out of there immediately and never return back there.

Dorian is serious, she’s been though enough and he sees how she struggles. That the perfectly put up woman is hiding a lot of things underneath and he hates how he can’t shoulder some of those things. All he can do is love her through it all and hope that one day it will be enough.

#booklr #books and reading #throne of glass #manon blackbeak #tog #dorian havilliard #manon x dorian #manorian #aelin fireheart #aelin galathynius #chaol westfall #he was feeling helpless most of the time #and Manon doesn’t say anything really she just keeps going and going and going burning herself out only to be chewed out by her grandmother #but Dorian noticed it and he was mad #Manon is still trying to get her grandmother to notice her but it doesn’t work #she’s under a lot of pressure and he decided to be her safe space just to try and balance things out #and even back when she was young her grandmother didn’t send her to just any boarding school #it was an elite private school where academics were challenging and where many royals and other filthy rich families went #so it was very competitive and she told Manon that she has to be in the number 1 spot at everything #if she isn’t the first at everything she does then she’s a stupid worthless child who will only bring shame to their name #might as well bring the downfall of the Blackbeak clan #perhaps her grandmother needs to find someone else to be her heir instead because she would want nothing to do with her. just disown her #and move on. Manon spent A LOT of time alone when she was young and it certainly wasn’t safe. she’d still stay in Switzerland tho but not #on school grounds. starting at the age of 12 she felt brave enough to travel to nearby towns and spend some time there. just that she’s #actually a child and literally anything could have happened to her #when she was 14/15 she’s travel to other countries and just spend time exploring new places #that put her in danger because she nearly got kidnapped a couple of times #she got lost and snowed in while deep in the forest. and she knew that if she died or anything happened to her no one would know or even #miss her so she didn’t really care at some point. in the instances her scores were all miraculously perfect she was allowed home and spend #a whole month being subjected to her grandmother’s abuse

But I just want to explore the world... Jamandi Aldori, the (to be) Baroness, Amiri, Jaethal, etc / Pathfinder Kingmaker (c) Owlcat Games

#pfkm #pathfinder kingmaker #pathfinder kingmaker fanart #owlcat games #comic #jamandi aldori #pfkm baroness #oc ailcha #this game was an interesting experience.#I walked in blind and was kinda smacked over the head with the whole manage-an-entire-region gameplay;;#I was also unaware that basically the entire game is timed. I understand why from a lore-perspective but /playing/ it is... uh.....#so I just went from being completely stressed out trying to manage all the (sometimes hidden) deadlines -#(the writer(s) of the fandom wiki pages for the first chapters with the AAC markers - you are excellent and perfect and thank you)#- and then you suddenly have nothing to do for months? m o n t h s!#so you just sit there with the kingdom management for hours trying not to ruin it and burn everything to the ground.#but I still liked the game as a whole?? it's one of those titles I finished while thinking 'never again' but then started to yearn for.#my poor baroness. I had not prepared her for all those responsibilities. nor the titles. oh the titles...#all of my characters just wants to walk around in the forest with their friends and collect loot forever #my mary sues

No but like ok, Roman never faces the consequences of his actions, ever. But with Gerri it’s different, she cut herself out of his life literally forcing him to deal with the consequences of his actions. The one authority figure, the one person who would talk shop with him, the one person he could go to for advice and guidance, the one person who actually believed in him once upon a time. And now he’s where he is, reaping the consequences of his actions, aligned with a fascist president-elect, belittling Shiv, being flippant with Connor, not seeing the whole picture. By ruining his relationship with his one true partner and confidant he shot himself in the foot and he doesn’t even know it. There are consequences Roman, there always are.

#romangerri #succession #succession spoilers #succession meta #this is more coherent in my brain #and it’s not to say that gerri was like 80% of Roman’s impulse control but like !#she was the one person who tried to help she could’ve gotten him there with out all this *waves hands around*#but by burning that bridge he effectively burnt everything else to the ground #if they were still good with each other this would not have shaken out the way it did I stand by THAT!#roman roy

yeah yeah right right right because when you don’t SEE someone, they aren’t real, right? like yeah you love your kids and you’re doing all of this for them you’re breaking your back for them but no no I can’t call because maybe the poison drips through, right? my daughter was the victim of a racist attack and she doesn’t want to go to school anymore but if I have them followed for their safety even after my ex-wife begged me to stop having their nanny interrogated in the park it’s okay right? because it’s not real?? I want you safe but I can’t have you at atn because then I have to see you reacting to the decisions I’m making and it makes it real and what then?

and then! and then and then!! your dad dies and nothing matters anymore right? nothing matters because we ALWAYS got chicken and never got steak and it doesn’t matter that I threw tantrums and got hit because it’s not real! none of it is real!

so yes! let’s screw the entire fucking country and electoral system just so we don’t lose the company because who cares! the people? oh those people aren’t real! we’ll be in the west wing. nothing matters, Ken!

#the real/not real dichotomy has HAUNTED me the entire time over watched this show #more than anything it renders me breathless watching these billionaires oscillate between so human it hurts to breathe #and the worst scum humanity has to offer #the siblings have been humanized a lil too much the past few eps lol #let’s remind em that they’re still in control of everything and they’re willing to burn it to the ground #kendall roy #roman roy #to make the sun rise again #succession #succession s4 #successions spoilers

maybe there should be a term that's like a sister term to 'plot armour', called 'plot power'

because how the hell did sylvanas even have the power to take the helm of domination off of bolvars head. 'plot power'. She can't die, and she has to be more powerful than the goddamned Lich King. So she took his helmet and disenchanted it right in front of him. IN FRONT OF US

#power that makes no sense is more annoying than characters that just refuse to die even though tehy should have #just to push a badly written story... no thanks #i liked some parts of shadowlands but i feel like its flaws really outweighed the positives...#not only in terms of gameplay but in the story as well #the story was so godawful #they retconned so many good things that happened like back in warcraft 3 #that far back.. only to find out that ... the jailers master plan was... i dont know... nothing?#the setting.. the cosmic force stuff doesnt help either #when the story is set on azeroth its so much more grounded #thats probably why a lot of people like dragonflight #and your enemy is still like a powerful being but not like out of this world... universe-reality-ending #just some fiery dude that wants everything to burn. like ragnaros 2.0 almost #i like it like that #stuff like the void #not robot beings... the zereth mortis stuff was very weird #the zone was cool but the robotic-ness of everything didnt feel like wow to me
