Effloresce snippet
“And her daughter,” Azriel went on, quiet, “Shahar, heir to the Kingdom of Illyria and the Court of Night.” “They died,” Nesta’s voice rang, cold clarity, a knife through Cassian’s ribs, “On Illyrian soil. The father blamed the assassins and the son”- “Yes,” Azriel hissed, not a man, a shadowsinger born of mountain cold and absolute cave darkness, cruel in what he could not unknow. Shahar, the hope and dream of two different worlds. Patient cleverness, wrathful magic- a half Illyrian child who could sing the wind to shape so easily as she could winnow darkness and call down dreams. A high lady worth following, at just seventeen. An awing, devastating, dangerous power- to no one more than Cassian’s brother, who’d followed the song of his soul all the way to servitude. It was Vanserra- quick, bright Lucien- who fearlessly leaned closer, and put a hand on Azriels shoulder. Embers floated free in the air, beautiful, delicate temporary stars. “There’s somewhere we need to go, Shadowsinger.” Horror rippled visibly over Nesta’s face, greying her pallor further. She swallowed. Retraced her steps to reach, without a shred of hesitation, and fold her smaller hand over Azriel’s unmoving grip. “Tell us what you need, and you will have it.” Gentle- gods and fucking stars- Lucien Vanserra tugged on Azriel’s shoulder, and unresponsive, pulled the fell wind of the north willing into a winnow. The sudden magic didn’t startle Nesta, not like it would have Feyre. She went right back to pacing, quick and vicious. Cassian watched through three revolutions before Nesta’s steps stalled. “She was his”- Her furious shoulders framed before the window, steel. Starlit snow through the glass, Lucien ember’s flung around her still, like magic itself could not resist that draw any more than he himself wished to. She was beautiful and terrifying, a light herself in this world, and Cassian was not Azriel- he would not have survived without her, now that he’d found her. “Yes.”

The thing that really gets me about xiyao. that will never NOT get me about xiyao. Is that they met in circumstances where for just a moment their respective stations in society didn't matter. Not to each other. Their relationship started outside of social conventions. And they spend the next 17 years trying to preserve that time, that relationship outside of society. And society crept in anyway.
#mdzs#lan xichen#meng yao#jin guangyao#xiyao#rs: i wish it could've been you#it's the TRAGEDY of it all#oh god maybe this is why cql xiyao doesn't do it as much for me despite the fact the fact they are just. so gay.#because SO MUCH about xiyao and how they work can be traced back to how they met#like down to xichen's stubborn willingnes to always believe the best in jgy and his 'i believe you had your reasons' mentality#because that? 'sometimes the wrong thing to do is actually the right thing because the situation is desperate'#that's a lesson he had to learn ON THE RUN FROM THE WEN. he had to leave his own people to die. that's a lesson he learned WITH MENG YAO#and that line of thinking thereby becomes irrevocably tied to meng yao#and changing their first meeting and pushing back that little wartime romance changes so much#it's still tasty but it's not THIS

Gai saw a man burn alive and longed to be engulfed in the same flames. His idea of heroism was tainted from the start, a sacrifice of self to power, so much power you die. Anything less is not good enough. He has never valued his life as anything other than his status and name. He wanted nothing more than to burn after he released the 8th gate. He was kept alive as punishment for his ego, Maito Gai needed to learn how to live life as a human being.
#maito gai#might guy#I see a lot of people shame kishi for not killing him#like that’s cowardice#or disrespectful to gai#it is disrespectful to what gai wants that’s true#but what gai wanted was a reflection of everything wrong with him#the man that cried seeing what he did to Lee in the Chunin exams#before immediately letting him risk his life to be put back in an arena#gai learned no lessons in his life#he perverted the idea of power from the start#he only saw what self destruction looked like when it seeped out onto Lee#and that was not enough#because he is consumed by ego#and life refused him a hero’s end#gai cannot win. it would be a disgrace to his character. all we have seen him do is win until this point

I rarely take pictures anymore. It’s like I just don’t want to remember any moment from this part of my life lol
#me#mine#girls with tattoos#myself#girls with glasses#girls with piercings#fairy aesthetic#fairycore#you know I come on here or I look through Snapchat memories#and even at my saddest I did not know or understand real pain#now that I do I feel so different#so old and so worn out#I feel like all the color has drained from my being#I’m not even a person anymore#I have horrid ptsd now#the only way I can really hangout with my dad is to play iPhone chess bc he’s sitting in a fucking hospital bed#oh god it all hurts so bad to think about#it makes me want to throw up#I miss who I was three years ago before all the pain#how does someone even come back from all of this#how do I see the things I’ve seen and lose what’s I’ve lost and move on to live a normal life#I had seemed to learn every life lesson the hard way and always fall in love with the wrong ppl#I had a very tough time loving myself which is still true#but that was all stuff like I could live with and grow from#this is just a deep set pain idk

do you have any thoughts on zelda not staying as a dragon? me personally I like it and am very cool with it mostly because I think zelda should get to be happy forever (and because I'm smart enough to know she changed back because of recall and not some ambiguous power of love lmao) but a lot of people seem to dislike that it made the draconification inconsequential?
i think there's like. some valid concerns surrounding inconsequentiality/"curing" the physical problems characters have as a way of giving them a "happy ending" but I think those concerns don't necessarily apply to totk in the way people seem to be applying them, especially irt zelda's draconification and link's arm.
most of the time when the criticism of this "magic cure" trope is applied to media, it's because the trope is used as a cure-all to erase a character's suffering or trauma and make them "normal" again, and often ignores the character development or themes of the story in favor of giving the character a happy ending. I don't think that applies to totk, though, because the "curing" link and zelda experience is both within the realm of possibility given the worldbuilding present in the game (recall could easily have done it, as you mentioned) AND thematically consistent with the rest of the game. One of if not the most important central themes of totk is the idea of failure and second chances. we see a hyrule that has been given a second chance after link's initial failure with the calamity brought it to the brink of destruction. we see characters who were deeply unhappy and entrenched in the shame of their precalamity mistakes like purah and zelda become active, beloved members of their communities. we see the people of lurelin village take back and rebuild their destroyed home. we watch this kingdom and its people make an unprecedented comeback after a century of struggle and ruin.
Similarly, totk's gameplay is LINK's second chance, his comeback from the initial mistake of losing zelda, of specifically being unable to reach her with his injured hand when they fell. The consequences of that--the master sword's corruption, the loss of his arm, and zelda's draconification, are all supposed to SEEM irreversible, because that's how LINK initially sees them. he believes that he doomed both himself and zelda all because of that SINGLE moment in which he wasn't enough, a viewpoint which is obviously left over from the pressure he experienced to perform to an impossible standard of perfection pre-calamity. The story of totk is about deconstructing that belief and proving it wrong. the mistake he made caused harm, but it's never too late to repair things. he can fix the regional phenomena ganondorf causes and rebuild those communities. he can revitalize the master sword. he can GET ZELDA BACK, with his own arm, uninjured and able to reach her this time. no matter how impossible those things may initially seem, no matter the perceived finality of his mistakes and their consequences, there is always hope. there is always a second chance. no one person's single mistake can doom an entire kingdom for eternity. the fate of hyrule was NEVER resting on link's shoulders alone. he was never their final hope. there was always going to be an after. the whole POINT of the draconification and the loss of link's arm is that they AREN'T final. they ARE inconsequential, because they were born of one mistake and ONE MISTAKE IS NOT THE END ALL.
#like. think about the message the game sends if zelda stays a dragon. we are saying that link CAN'T come back from this mistake.#that one single split-second moment in which he made the wrong move because he had no way of knowing what to do#means that the one person who understands and supports him above all else. the one person who shares his experience and his trauma#the woman he LOVES. is gone forever with no hope of return ever and it's 100% his fault.#that's not true to the themes of botw OR totk. these games are about growth and healing and second chances.#this game was link learning that he gets a second chance. that no move he makes is the final be-all-end-all fuckup.#it removes the pressure and that's the POINT. for a character like link whose life has been DEFINED by pressure#who was taught from a horrifically young age that any wrong move on his part would KILL EVERYONE HE KNEW AND LOVED#this is such an important lesson to learn. removing that pressure/showing him that it was never actually real in the first place#is a crucial step towards healing for him.#asks#zelda analysis#totk spoilers#like i like the idea of lasting consequences dont get me wrong. <draconic features zelda enjoyer#but like. making link keep the fucking rauru arm rubs me the wrong way. the whole point is that he caught her with his own hand in the end#ugh. anyway. you get the idea

from kaigen to terminus, i feel like that’s one crazy switch up on kuukou’s part lol
#this is vee speaking#probably bc i talked about the 2nd drb my brain switched over to those good ol jakurai and kuukou parallels lol#like you look at light and shadow and see mtr’s almost full 180 where they were saying they need to save others no matter the cost#and alongside the darkness that’s in their hearts#and bat literally tells them they need to fix themselves first the enemy is thyself type beat#and look at the lesson mtr learned in ‘not for you’ lol#so bat was proven correct in their views but the best part of light and shadow is how neither side was wrong#so if bat who all collectively agree you need to work on yourself what can they learn from side mtr????#*points up* to use their strength to help others on a bigger scale i think lol#hitoya’s preaching in his solo jyushi baring himself and his pain to the world that hurt him but being strong and continuing forward#and kuukou saying to offer up your karma and with all of creation on his back he’s seeking truth and salvation#i like the thought of bat taking what’s protected themselves and turning it outward to match mtr’s save all you can#but that’s a heavy weight kuukou’s putting on himself lol#he built different always lol but i sure hope that’s a goal he’s taking on once he realises his lone wolf tendencies will do more damage#they’re a family that puts their lives on the line for each other after all 😌😌😌

“i don't think luke is presenting an argument either way. because i think luke also, of any jedi in the galaxy, understands what it would be like to be with the person you care about most -- to be with your father figure”
#dinluke#filoni gets it - he gets that luke wanted to present grogu w a choice#a modern jedi who wouldnt make the decision for him like his predecessors would#luke knows what its like to lose his uncle and aunt his master and his father#hed never want grogu to lose his dad#or make that choice for him#luke is such a good egg#i just have the big sad thinking that luke was only a cameo bc although he was a good mentor he wasnt destined to be grogus master#thats the vibe i get#so it gets me thinking they wont bring him back#but god i hope im wrong#like he was the perfect jedi for grogu to learn that lesson from and the perfect person to show him kindness and understanding and compassio#compassion#at that point in grogus young life#and thats all it will be#but heres hoping im wrong 🙃#i do feel like s3 will be all abt mandalore tho and luke wont be in it#maybe s4 grogu will come back around to accepting both his jedi abd mandalorian halves#but not before that#but anyway.. just slowly breaking it to myself not to expect luke so im not heartbroken lmao#tagging dinluke because cmon theyre his dads#star wars

Ride 740: Sugimoto driven in a corner
Pag 1
3: Pinch and crush him, Danchiku!! Crush Sugimoto-san!!
Pag 2
1: As easy as crushing dry leaves!!
Yeah, Issaa!!
Pag 4
3: You're slow
Pag 5
1: You're slow, Sugimoto-san – Bamboo Hop Shot!!
2: He's fast!!
4: He got even faster.... than the second day...
But
5: But!!
Pag 6
1: It's not so easy to crush my heart, Danchiku!!
Kuaaaaagh
Pag 7
2: The battle between those two has started!!
3: The last battle of the training camp's fourth day!! The rule is simple, whoever crosses the sensor line first wins!!
4: The serious battle between Danchiku and Sugimoto, betting the spot in the Inter High!!
5: Sugimoto....!!
6: Danchiku!!
7: But.... this battle....
Pag 8
1: That's right, Onoda
4: He.... Sugimoto understands everything
And he's fighting upon understanding that
6: He's running with that resolution
And he has no intention whatsoever of stepping aside!!
Pag 9
2: What....
I really settled this with one attack
3: It was easy
5: Kuaaagh
8: Kuaaaagh
9: …. no
Pag 10
1: Kuaaaaagh
He's still chasing after me!!
Pag 11
1: Sugimoto-san
2: Dan.... chikuu!!
3: I wonder what's this feeling
I was thinking I could win against you, and it's true that I said I could defeat you with one attack
4: But, I don't know why, but my heart is beating fast
And for some reason the corners of my mouth are pulling up
5: Maybe it's because I know we've practiced and desperately ran together until now, but when earlier I turned back and I didn't see you, I though “ah of course”, but there was also another feeling....
Pag 12
1: I thought- there's no way that that Sugimoto-san was beaten by just one attack!!
Pag 13
1: Ha
2: Kuaaagh
3: He chased me and kept going until he passed me!!
5: Dammit, even though I couldn't defeat him in one blow, right now I feel so good!!
6: I'm thinking that this is the spirit!!
Pag 14
1: Sugimoto-san!!
2: It's so hard....!!
Danchiku really got stronger than on the second day
3: But this is the basis of road racing: don't let your opponent understand how it is for you!!
4: Looks like you're having a hard time, Sugimoto-san
Pag 15
1: He noticed!!
2: But there's no way I'm giving up the lead position
Until my breath calms down, I'll keep just the right pace....
3: He jumped ahead!!
4: Can you follow!?
6: Mh
7: Easily!!
Pag 16
2: Well you're so reliable!!
Danchiku used his “Hop Shot” again
Pag 17
1: Garuaah!!
2: He left me behind!!
3: Kuaaaaagh
Keep up, Sugimoto Terufumi!!
4: Sugimoto-san, you followed!! I'm happy that we're clashing seriously now
5: Issa told me not to tell you
But I'll tell you, Sugimoto-san
6: There's another secret to my special technique “Panda Shout”
Panda Shout is....
Pag 18
1: A breathing technique
2: When humans breathe, oxygen weaves into their lungs
3: And when they work out, they need a lot of fresh oxygen
And they become conscious of their “inhaling”
4: But if they do it too much, their breathing becomes uneven and shallow, and they inhale the oxygen around their mouth that it's not “fresh air”
5: Exhaling is more important than inhaling!!
“Actively pushing out the air in your lungs”!!
6: That way, you can naturally take in a lot of “fresh air”!!
Panda Shout uses the abdominal pressure to squeeze out all the air from my lungs
Pag 19
1: It's the ultimate technique to intake oxygen!!
3: Technique to intake....!!
4: If he can accelerate even more....!!
5: I'll use it right away
Ah, and there's one more thing
Huh
6: When I use this
Pag 20
1: My acceleration with Hop Shot becomes twice as fast!!
2: Two.... ice
Please hold on tight and follow me, Sugimoto-san!!

Okay this is the *actual* last comment, for real, but I just found out Spider is now smearing me as a convert and accusing me of being involved with drama I was not involved with because he mistakenly attributed my apologies for his public temper tantrum as being about something unrelated.
THIS IS A FALSE ACCUSATION and I do not appreciate having yet another bit of fake malicious intent falsely ascribed to my actions and* attributing a completely unrelated attack to me.
Also, it's very sad and disappointing whenever a Jew gets mad at a convert because something else is going on in the Jew's life and the convert happens to be in the splash zone and the Jew falls over backwards to smear the convert and invalidate her faith.
Just....the childish aggression is making me so, so sad and disappointed, from someone I used to think very highly of, who is now lying about me and publicly smearing me with false accusations based on a conflict he started because he misinterpreted something I said and I went out of my way to give him the benefit of the doubt when trying to clear up the mistake HE MADE that led him to decide bullying and attacking me for three fucking days was appropriate and okay and that I'm the bad guy for saying it's wildly unprofessional to behave like this in public to a former customer face.
Sorry, but facts, reality, linear time and the truth of what I actually said and did are on my side here, and I will not stand for being smeared and attacked and shat all over because I had the gall to try to kindly resolve his uncalled for, unjustified temper tantrum.
I am also not sorry that I left a side note in the tags that it was also unacceptable for HIM to drag his daughter into a stupid internet slapfight based on his own reading comprehension failure. Because it was and is unacceptable, and she needs to hear that message from someone.
End of story. Keep digging that hole as long as you like, Spider. It's not helping your case and is continuing to make you look progressively worse and more unreasonable, and the only person you have to blame is yourself.

*revised for clarity
#don't buy from nerdykeppie#all receipts are under this tag#if you're so offended because my reporting on the things you say and do makes you look bad maybe the problem is you#this whole thing was completely needless#and yet he is continuing to DARVO me because he's pissed that his usual method of smugly lashing out at people over their poor reading#comprehension doesn't work when it's him who failed to comprehend what I wrote in the first place#also REAL FUCKING INCHRESTING that he's lying about me being involved in the jewvestigation of him so he responds by......jewvestigating me#lol#lashon hara. maybe he should study it sometime.#and maybe he'll learn warning others about poor behavior from a business so they don't waste their money there is not lashon hara#but honestly I doubt it because he's never going to let go of his desperate complex about always being the smartest raddest dude in the roo#it looks pathetic and I think he realizes that or he wouldn't have had such a dramatic extended meltdown over the things *he* said to *me*#I also still find it funny that he has conveniently forgotten to address the whole “hey bud your timeline doesn't add up” part#and I think that's because he knows if he were to address the proof that he didn't remember it correctly he would be forced to admit that h#threw a massive shitfit at someone for no reason because his memory got mixed up#so so funny that he can't come up with an answer for that#almost like! he knows he fucked up bigtime and is scrambling to make himself the victim!#also funny that “worrying about someone who was dragged into a fight by a bully” got twisted into sneakily scheming to turn her against him#I'm not a scheming plotter I'm worried because the behavior you showed your child in public was wildly inappropriate TO HER.#it's sad! It's fucking sad and embarrassing and hypocritical and immature and SAD!#but the pretend me other people are attacking because they made shit up is none of my business#if he wants to keep writing fanfic about me he can go right ahead#because again#the more he talks the worse he looks#the more he digs this hole the deeper he gets mired in his own muck#and it's not my job to bend over backwards to keep him from experiencing the natural consequences of his actions.#I really should learn the lesson that people who are snide assholes in one situation are usually snide assholes across the board#really the worst part is knowing I defended him when he threw tantrums like this before#that's what I regret and feel guilty about: that I backed up his shitty behavior and gave it legitimacuy#that was wrong of me and I'm sorry for every time I jumped in as one of his flying monkeys

im in love with status quo - law being awesome and crew being babies he protects
#and that status quo wont change cuz oda isnt interested in it#as we saw with onigashima fight that Even after law came back from DR which he made a solo mission for himself leaving crew behind#only the anime had a scene where boys were like U DONT HAVE TO PROTECT US WE ARE GONNA PULL OUR WEIGHT#but that was toeis doing#the source material had no follow up to that scene making it an empty puff that led nowhere#oda had the opportunity and he didnt use it = he isnt interested#i strongly doubt that this big defeat was needed for them to ''learn their lesson'' or some shit#well if ill be wrong then ill be wrong - again all the better for me as a HP fan#i just dont believe it will happen#he had opportunities in wano too like lol#why did we see killer vs hawkins but not bepo+pen+sha vs hawkins#coulda shown how they got captured#didnt#im the law fan ignoring his flaws because his flaws are too often are evidence of oda not caring

hrgh every time I think I've come close to forgiving lance fucking parkin I skim the gallifrey chronicles. and then I remember the Horrors.
#listen bc when I read through and play around with AHistory I'm inclined to enjoy and respect his work as a curatative fan historian#but his actual prose writing#it. it beggars belief it truly does it's just atrocious#megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace#everyone in the EDA discord who thinks father time is the worst of it oh boy babes the worst is absolutely yet to come#like I get *why* they gave him the last book of the line because he does (mostly) know his lore extremely well#so it kind of makes sense that he'd be picked to wrap up all the myriad loose ends#and also he's well liked and afaik pretty personable unlike some fuckers I could name and didn't spend years burning bridges#but oh my god oh my god literally everything to do with Fitz and Trix is just. awful. terrible.#guy who absolutely does not understand or respect any of the three of that team TARDIS but especially Fitz#also The Thing With Sam#never happened fuck you lance#also given just how many asspats he gives himself over his command of the lore he fucking got Sam's middle name wrong?!#also it's soooo obvious how much he loves Anji because she's a Capitalist GirlbossTM#he really does not grasp her character development or personal arcs but he thinks he's killing it#like she *is* a Capitalist GirlbossTM but that's not all she is but he's not actually interested in her interiority at all#he just enjoys that she's a fiscal conservative#god the fact that trading futures is the literal very next book after Anachrophobia#one of the best books in the series that explicitly calls out Anji's pro-capitalism stance using time-war-for-profit played for utter horro#immediately followed by...almost the exact same premise but Zany RompTM#it's not that capitalists misusing time travel for profit is inherently bad it's just *these guys* who suck#no lesson is learned! then you fucking get to the fucking gallifrey chronicles and Fitz actually deciding that this very same scheme#'wasn't perhaps unethical' just because it's Trix and Anji doing it#like yeah sure Anji and Trix can have a little insider trading. as a treat. but that is literally the definition of unethical lol#the only reason time traveling to acquire stock tips isn't massively illegal is because it's not fucking real like??#of-fucking-course it's unethical you walnut#parkin you smug annoying self-obsessed lore-obsessed pregnancy-obsessed just barely-plausibly deniably not homophobic asshole#I'm avoiding even bringing up the actual beef with TGC because first of all everyone fucking knows but also it's just.#it's such a goddamn shit awful trainwreck#if parkin wasn't a Fitz-hating homophobic coward he would've ended the gallifrey chronicles the same way he ended the dying days. wink.

I can't believe there's people watching qsmp who hear the Spanish speakers and just go "well i don't know Spanish and there's nothing i can do about that. Guess I'll never know what they say". When Tahlulla said "then learn" cause quackity said he didn't speak Spanish, that was at y'all. If you can watch a 6 hour stream you can download doulingo and do a 5 minute Spanish lesson.
#not to be agressive but#genuinely those who dont try to learn are actually missing out on So Much Content#qsmp#learning Spanish#even just bits where the translation fucks up. like during charlies violence arc yhe translation randomly said. Bucket#and its cause he was saying fuck it fuck it fuck it so it translated that into cangilón#i barely know spanish and even then i can manage to parse out what at least some of them are saying you dont need much#hell even just tune into a foolish stream cause hes actually been doing spanish lessons with leo and hes picking it up really well#and he says all of his thoughts on how or why parts of the language are how they are which kinda helps to understand it#like hes wrong sometimes very much so but its really really cool to judt sit and listen to a guy figure out how to speak another language#i played it while cooking the other day and when he would ask a question i also had id ask my roommate whos fluent#and just asking questions helps to learn.#sorry for the ramble im just fed up with the mentality that some foøks have with the spanish speakers#yes the translator is fucking rad but it doesnt catch everything and its kinda nicer to catch it as its spoken you know#leadning a new language is only hard at first. its very easy to become obsessed with understanding it

{{ i realized I only posted about it once on the old blog, made a single post here explaining why I moved blogs/remade this account and then privated it because I didn't want to have that negativity hanging over said new blog but uh-
Hi, hello mutuals-- It's me, Tina, lol. I remade my blog and moved from @coldsovereign-a (which is archived now) to here-- @acoldsovereign. I did it because the old blog stopped feeling good to log into.
And, I didn't want to give up so easily. I love Maiz too much and I didn't want this singular, creepy ass, racist, jerk-hole asshat from ruining her/my RP experience. There were other irl/personal issues going on around the same time too and it fucked with my muse majorly. 😭
I apologize if I suddenly seemed like I "disappeared" (and then reappeared) without explanation! I wanted to move on from what happened to me quickly and in the process of that, I uh, forgot about common courtesy for a while. My bad. (Tbh, I just wanted a new home for my girl so I could fully enjoy her again. Glad to say I'm back in the swing of writing her, so the move did help!)
Anyway, more RP stuff coming soon. Yay!
#OOC: Out of Limits#{{ a conversation with a mutual just reminded me that I did NOT do a good job of actually saying what was wrong/didn't explain i remade-#{{ so yeah--my bad. I'll be better about that. i feel a little better about the whole situation and other stuff now tho.#{{ but long story short i was way too accommodating to an asshole who didn't deserve it.#{{ and he like used my personal issues and turned it against me. all bc i wanted to be patient and kind.#{{ i already forgave myself for not moving around when I saw the red flags. and i'm super over it.#{{ lessons were learned! it's all good now.

Please get on the soap box about Achilles' childhood trauma? Would love love love to hear your thoughts!
Being a demigod and having Chiron and Thetis as his parental figures, Achilles wasn't raised to be very close to his mortal side at all. They may teach him the concept of gods and mortals and death, but it wouldn't hit him until Chiron was poisoned, unable to heal himself and unable to die. Achilles would've watched Chiron suffer the poison until he begged to surrender his immortality.
Before the death of Patroclus, the death of those who matter to him (just Chiron really) had been a slow, deliberate process with divine purpose, vastly different from the death he had encountered while hunting. I presume that Achilles thought that when he meets his end- it would be something closer to Chiron's death than an animal's death.
The Trojan war didn't change his perspective on death though, it enforced it really - soldiers are being slaughtered like animals on the daily. Unlike most warriors He also gets the luxury of distancing himself from the deaths when he refused to fight. Whether he's aware of it or not, he doesn't count himself as one of the soldiers who would die unceremoniously, so by extension he can't imagine his favourite person Patroclus being among them as well.
And then Patroclus died unceremoniously, killed in battle, stripped of his armor like many others. Achilles cannot reconcile his death with the kinds of death that he knows (on top of knowing he's the one who caused it.) At Chiron's death, Achilles had the front row seat on how death was an exit to his mentor's unbearable agony. So you know, that explains him almost slitting his throat at the sight of Patroclus's body, and then going on a suicidal rampage.
Aside from his self destructive tendencies, he still doesn't know what to do with the shock of Patroclus dying a normal warrior's death - he's better than all of them, how dare they mistake him for one of them. That's how the math adds up for Achilles, he's going to kill himself by dealing death worse than that of an animal's to the ones who disrespected his Patroclus like that- in a weird way to make up for the dishonor in Patroclus's death. His murderous rampage isn't just revenge, but also a fruitless penance for how he failed Patroclus (with many Trojans and the rest of his own short life)
#took me a while to write things hope it is making sense!#on why Patroclus didnt turn out that way when they were raised together:#1) he knows he's mortal#2) he killed a kid with his bare hands wheb he was small he is more familiar with violent death#patroclus#achilles#patrochilles#I CARE HIM SO MUCH#am i projecting? dont worry about it :)#i wanna do a comic about how Achilles manages to learn all the wrong lessons about death#i wanna do long form big angst#ali babbles

(spoilers from season 2 of tgcf, rip all of us)
Yeah, yeah, I know.
But what if, instead of capturing and immobilizing Lang Qianqiu that time in the forest, Rouye decided to tickle him? What if there wasn't so much ressentment and lies and fear in that scene and was instead a cute, silly moment between the young crown prince and his old mentor? What if Xie Lian scolded him about being impulsive and thoughtless and how he could've died for this while Lang Qianqiu is giggling and laughing on the floor? What if he starts quizzing him about clever and safer ways that he could've go on about his threat and suddenly Lang Qianqiu feels like he is 15 again, doing his best to impress his teacher and he tries to actually think about his questions but immediately falls back to squealing and kicking, trying to squirm away but being unable to escape the soft silk wrapped around him that kept poking and pordding and vibrating and tickling at his sides and neck and ribs and absolutely everywhere?
What if - since this is now a CUTE AND SILLY moment with no ressentment - Hua Cheng decided to tease and provoke him since it's the second time he acts like that and ends up losing and being captured by them and, come on, it's really that your best? It's almost as if you like this. And LQQ squeaks in absolute protest and feels like his face is going to melt?
What if he had discovered the truth long time ago and had time to grief and come to terms with it, and now, when he discovers that Xie Lian is his old mentor, wants to challenge him to a fight so he can show him just how much better he got since the last time they saw each other and how he definitely can win a spar against him now. And now in the end it's all just a very cute tickle story huh? What then?
Anyway you can blame the very own Ruoye for this hc because how can a piece of fabric be SO SMUG about capturing somone like COME ON IT LITERALLY STOPPED, LOOKED AT LANG QIANQIU WITH A :] FACE AND THEN CAPTURED HIM, PLEASE!!!!!! P L E A S E. AND XIE LIAN BEING ALL SO :]c AFTERWARDS TOO LIKE !!!! SHAKING THEM BY THEIR SHOULDERS!!!!
I 100% headcanon Lang Qianqiu having a super squeaky and loud laughter, even if he is not actually that ticklish, and just BABBLING the most utter nonsense while being tickled. Xie Lian discovered about it because he caught the prince and his friend (the boy w no name <3) in he middle of a tickle fight once and, even though he never actually tickled him besides one or two sneaky pokes to wake him up during lessons, Rouye never forgot and now rip him.
Also since I am already here, in this reality Xie Lian was not punished and so Hua Cheng only think that boy as the Annoying Kid that Xie Lian once teached and now that appeared centuries later to cause an unecessary ruckus in his city so he is Getting Revenge.
#tgcf tickle headcanons#I am sick with want fr fr#ticklish!Lang Qianqiu#you can pry him laughing and being happy from my dead cold hands#I am torn between he trying to get revenge on xl w no plan or preparation bc he is still v impulsive <3 and being TICKLED AGAIN#But now for both Xie Lian and Ruoye since as it seems he haven't learned the lesson yet#Or he respecting Xie Lian too much still to be just so Silly with him.... but he is all about justice. maybe the first option could happen?#tgcf tickles#tgcf tickling#writing a fic about them ( not w this idea) and it's been DAYS an I only recently realized I wrote their names wrong in the whole story AUG#shaking non stop PLEASE I JUST NEED THEM TO BE SILLY I JUST NEED THEIR STORY TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING#spoilers tgcf
