He has unkempt, curly hair and both arms are covered in random tattoos about the Nightmare King. He’s reading a book and wears a black t-shirt, gray sweatpants, a mismatched pair of socks (one purple and one with the aromantic flag pattern) and wears half of a best friends necklace. His hands are covered in scars. The outline of a circle is behind his head, reminiscent of a stylized halo. The artist’s signature LightningIdle is under the chair. /end id]

I know you had previously said that you thought Adaine might have gone from a Battlesmith Artificer to an Armorer Artificer. If that's not what you're feeling for the au anymore feel free to ignore this ask. But I'd love to know what her Steel Defender might have looked like (Boggy?)

yep it is boggy! he's still a frog, specifically bc I think it plays off class swap adaine's fascination with body mods and distance from her own body very well. I honestly don't think I can even settle on one single look for him bc I imagine adaine would be tinkering with him whenever she needs to ground herself and every time he gets re-summoned he is a little bit more fucked up lol. at least one iteration is fully soft robotics

Freddy le teme a las alturas

Freddy le teme a las alturas. No solo a las alturas, pero a caerse. Cuando estas en un punto elevado, el aire no se siente igual, es más fino que en el suelo seguro. Hay menos aire, y tu respiración se vuelve corta. Cuando estas a altura, no puedes ni respirar. Cuando estas en un punto elevado, el suelo no se siente igual. El suelo es hueco, delgado, temblorable, delicado, inestable. Con cualquier movimiento puede colapsar, puede romperse. Cuando estas en lo alto, no puedes ni moverte. Cuando estás en un punto elevado. Destacas. Pueden verte, identificarte. Te prestan atención. Pueden escucharte, reconocerte. Esperan algo de ti. No puedes escapar, no puedes huir. No puedes hacer nada, ni debes intentarlo, sabes con seguridad que solo los decepcionarás. No es opción usar tu voz. Porque te caerás

i would /love/ to see danielle radford play sklonda, she would absolutely kill it (especially if the game were set after sklonda's passed her bar exam)

Ohhh that's such a good answer! As a former paralegal she'd kill it with any of the lawyer stuff Brennan threw her way. Hell, she'd probably throw some unexpected lawyer stuff *his* way. And also I'm just always here for more Danielle. She's such a fun player.

Sorry, this is probably a boring read and I get it, if it doesn’t warrant posting.

I just saw the posts about the A at a glass window at London premiere and JD and N playing board games in a pub etc. and it made me think.

There a loads of little bits about A coming out, she was there during the tour, she did that etc. First thing that came to mind for me was: this is in the past, this is not today. I know she is around today, I know there will be more L A stuff coming, ig launch, proper couple stuff etc. But the things we get bothered about now re. A during the tour: they are in the past, they do not reflect things as they are today.

It shows to me: there was trouble during the tour and there is trouble today. I’m with unraveling anon here: currently there is something going on in the L A and friendly gang universe, and it’s not wedding planning for L A.

As many here I think, L N caught some feelings during filming S3, I don’t think it got physical but feelings were there. Took a break, L HBS happened, N living her best life. 2024 the tour happens, feelings for L – who by now had acquired an 🐜 – came back quickly. For N it took a hot minute but at some point there was no use denying it, the world and their mother could see it and hear it. Oh what to do with A now? I reckon, N never thought her to be a serious thing and that may be because L sold it exactly that way.

Several A appearances / actions on SM, I still look for one that was not on some level cringeworthy, lemme know if you find one. Girl is insecure and acting out and L does very little to put his b..ch on a lead. He behaved like the fool in love he is – with N that is - on the tour and likely did not exactly do lots to reassure A behind the scenes, besides the occasional FH stay.

Premiere London, L obviously had to do something for A, had set up or at least signed off the walk of crap 🦀but could he be arsed to even do that properly and commit afterwards on some minor level? You tell me.

He obviously wants to or has reasons to hold on to A. But why look like a damn hostage about it all the time? Surely after London he could have just be much more relaxed with her, hey, be fake-papped again plant a kiss on her, hold her properly. By now they could be an established couple to the world, the fandom outrage would have died down, they could live their relationship openly. Nope, hostage situation vibe it is.

Meanwhile N – and I never thought this would happen – goes MIA, she currently has the lowest public profile since I follow her and I just can’t help but get hurt / annoyed vibes from her. It’s truly telling that her friends seem to rally around her and even appear to troll A not do discretely. And she has a little sad vibe to her since the tour ended and I hate that. Might of course be because S3 chapter closed, might be L, I think whatever it is – N for sure was not happy with how London premiere night played out.

And don’t get me started on JD: m’dears, he aint her boyfriend, he is the gay-bestie and I am so happy she has him in her life right now. Do get over it please.

I guess what I am rambling on here is: A is here to stay for now. Here in my country 🐜s usually disappear when fall goes in to winter, so let nature take its course. And in the meantime, let’s do our best to not give her any attention, because that’s what she wants desperately. And let’s support N and L, they deserve it so.

And thanks to blog queen for letting us squat here until better times arrive!

i think the key here for me is the level of agreement to that social contract though. like, when Scott was partnered with Martyn, that worked bc both of them take this very strategic/transactional view of alliances in the series, so Martyn turned on him on a dime and Scott was okay with that because it was an assumed part of the contract to him.

Scott's relationship with Jimmy is different though, because Scott and Jimmy don't agree to the same relationship, and Scott's assumption that they do essentially removes Jimmy's autonomy. Rebuilding Jimmy's base in 3l, for example, is something Scott does without Jimmy's knowledge or consent. Would Jimmy have agreed had he been asked? Maybe! He does seem happy with it. But the fact of the matter is that Scott assumes Jimmy's comfort level with Scott taking charge in their alliance without discussing it with him.

The "say I love you back" scene is another place where Scott assumes agreement to a transactional relationship without that agreement ever being given. Limlife Jimmy and Scott are not in any sort of established relationship. Scott comes to Jimmy and offers the deal that Jimmy can kill him if he eliminates Tango, the only other green name left. Jimmy denies this deal and gives Scott 30 seconds to run before he starts following him. Scott thinks he's been owed nonaggression, citing that he gave Jimmy a Pufferish of Peace, but the fact of the matter is that Jimmy never agreed to that. And then while leaving, Scott says he loves Jimmy and starts demanding that Jimmy say it back.

All that Jimmy has actually received from Scott at this point in this scene is the words "I love you." That does not entitle Scott to the same. You can't make someone care about you - a person's love/affection is theirs to give to who they see fit for whatever reason they see fit. But Scott doesn't see it that way - in his mind, the very act of saying "I love you" to someone requires that they reciprocate, regardless of what they actually feel about you.

Pearl is somewhere in the middle of these two. She's more willing to play the game to a certain extent, but she clearly is looking for an emotional connection in her partnerships that is less important to Scott. (Notice how Pearl reaching out to people says she's looking for "friends", whereas Scott prefers using the term "alliances.") So they come into conflict in one universe but get along fine in another, because the circumstances of Last Life vs. Double Life highlight the areas where their understanding of partnership come into conflict.

ok but im obsessed with scotts transactional view of loyalty and partnership. he's not upset about Martyn's betrayal because he's like "well if it was just the two of us i would've sacrificed myself to him anyway, so this works!" when he's trying to console Pearl in DL he's like "no it's better strategically for us to split up so the reds have to fight through two health bars" completely missing that he's abandoning her Again. even the "say i love you back" scene shows that he's thinking of love as something he's Owed for treating Jimmy well in the sense of the game. this man is incapable of considering people's feelings he's a strategist to a fault

[thecoolerliauditore]

Im so happy someone else notice Scott is the one actually obsessed with Pearl rather than the other way around. I thought I crazy or smth because I never seen anyone else acknowledge it.

Scott must have some kind of power, because anytime he says anything about another person character (or even his character) that is just who they are now in the viewers eyes and hell even sometimes the other ccs do it too *cough* DL!pearl *cough*!!

RE: THAT SECOND PART this is regarding flower husbands and more the jimmy side of things but the basis of it is very applicable to pearl too. One of the most trafficblr posts of all time to me truly.

But yes if I get really bad someday I might try to break down the different schools of MCYT interpretation because i think it goes alot deeper than just a scale of haha silly friends playing video game to grians 13 reasons why. I touched on word of god vs unreliable narrator a little in my big toxic fh meta post but I think it has a lot to do with that (Martyn - I'm guessing he's who you're referring to with that last bit - gets this treatment too where he'll say stuff about Ren and people will take that as Canon Informations About Ren and not what Martyns view on Ren is etc)

Every time I see you reblog something related to another IF I remember that you're just an IF fan who decided to take up writing one day. You're one of us… which means you understand the pain of a writer dragging their feet. ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ

Just kidding!

In all seriousness, the thought of you being just another IF fan makes me happy. Knowing that the author of my favourite WIP is just like me makes me excited for the finished product. Keep being amazing!!!

My lovely secretary does a lot of the reblogging, but I am very much an IF fan, for sure! This is actually my third attempt at taking up choicescript and it's the first to get serious (there are no prior WIPs or anything, I just tried to learn CS a couple times over the years); I've always had a ton of fondness for the overarching genre.

It's a little crazy to think that essentially, coming back from a break of not much IF and re-reading the first FH and having a proper run at FH2 finally (then playing a bunch of Night Road and the Creme de la Creme series) is what ignited my enthusiasm for writing DYVJ. :)

[liauditore]

for some reason ur ask is cursed by an evil spirit and webbed site spilled spaghetti sauce all over itself when i tried to answer it so ig we're doing this now @sharksome-nen

half the board being coloured in but no bingo sums up me and this ship perfectly i think.

me being REALLY unhinged below the cut about toxic!fh (a teeny tiny bit neg/discoursey on empires if u squint). gets rlly abuse-y.

ohohohohohoh ur trying to get me killleedddddd.. :D

they're so special to me i hate them so much.

ok so uh i wrote a Whole Thing but it was getting way too ramble-y but basically uh. not a fan of romantic!fh. empires writing is very understandably not perfect and i saw some disturbing implications between the lines and couldn't help but fixate on them and it kind of soured any fluffy!fh fan content for me. sorry im a grinch and i was born with hate in my heart🙏🙏

but uh... if u take those disturbing implications out of the lines, x500 their size and severity, apply a dash of self-projection and start associating songs sung from the pov of abusers with it?? oho. ohohoho. oh that's. that's the good stuff.

i have this rlly cursed notepad doc where i basically vomit Ship Thoughts tm onto so here's the entire fh section copy+pasted. 👍

probably the most explicitly romantic and the most explicitly toxic. They DO love each other a lot. Jimmy looks up to Scott (he's so cool!) and would do anything just to live a happy life with him. I imagine that he's had a crush on him for the longest time from a distance, but didn't approach him until 3L because he didn't think Scott would look in his direction. Scott loves Jimmy deeply too but in the way someone might love a pet or a toy. "How's this poor thing going to survive on his own?" is probably what he uses to justify alot of what he puts Jimmy through. I imagine that Scott is someone who's lived a very monitored and controlled life (he gives me royalty vibes) and probably doesn't understand the extent of the abuse he's been put through or the way it's warped his perception of love. Love is a conditional commodity for him at this point in 3L and right now he's using it to buy some protection (never a good idea to go solo in a death game arena). So everytime he scolds or hits Jimmy it's always out of love, always for his own good, if he doesn't learn how to act now then someone will kill him for running his mouth eventually. Especially in the 3L Death Game. And Jimmy puts up with it and believes him because he hasn't learnt to respect himself yet. But as the games go on I do believe Scott begins to fall for Jimmy in a more genuine, kind way. Still not wholesome but he's very much not just extra numbers for safety anymore. He feels scorching regret for what he did after Jimmy dies but won't admit it to himself or anyone else. It's a selfish kind of regret, he hates himself more than he loves Jimmy, but it's still there. Post-3L Jimmy has some time away from Scott during LL before meeting Tango in DL, a partner who respects and even admires him, who gives him the space to grow and the trust to take risks that would better the both of them. Jimmy gains newfound confidence and a new perspective on his previous relationships, culminating in him actually standing up to Scott in LimL and refusing his offer to get back together. He's grown up. Scott, on the other hand, fares much more poorly. He is offered genuine love, unconditional love and it frightens him because he can't understand it (he doesn't think he's love-able). What does she want from him? He can't control Pearl the way he could with Jimmy and she Scares him. It doesn't matter, he can manage by himself (he always has) and he has an eye for finding kindred spirits. But it's not the same (he misses him). (he needs his Pet back) (he needs his Control back) He doesn't get it. final diagnosis: what should have been a beautiful love story twisted into something awful, divorced and should not re-marry even if Scott wants to.

ngl there is that.. little part of me that really wants jimmy to relapse and go crawling back cus old habits die hard, right? but on the other hand i. i want my son to be happy. sometimes.

I like writing characters with super messed up warped perceptions of love and hurt themselves and others in the process with it. its evil and sexy.

if we're gonna get into the whole song lyrics thing i really really love using mahiru's milgram songs for fh (even tho i associate scott more with muu). they just make sense to me. lyrics from haruko because i adore their covers.

(also uh these songs are about an abusive relationship and the second one has not so subtle suicide imagery in the mv so know that if ur gonna seek them out)

I'll love you till you fall And won't feel bad at all, Because I still get worried Could you please forgive me? Every little thing I only say to get to you Every little thing I do when "you and me are through" That's me loving you

Do my feelings drive you crazy? Sorry I don't care you baby. Tell me please, Tell me please, Why don't you ever love like me?

I just... i think scott genuinely caring for jimmy and wanting to keep him safe but like.. scott's brand of 'safe' is guard up at all times and manipulating those around you. and jimmy's useless at it/doesn't even catch on at all and it just ends up frustrating scott more.

Told you I loved you and then did what I did The right is gone and we're done, I'm crossed and covered in sin My love, it got it's lick back, Destroyed me, I deserved that, Tell the truth, Tell the truth, Why can't I ever love like you?

i LOVE the idea of scott regretting how he treated jimmy too late and still being in denial about it oufhlsdfhfls

so uh yeah it's an okay ship 👍
