#he invented his calling

[blood-orange-juice]

(one of those too-long posts I might delete later)

What fascinates me about Childe is how he's an embodiment of Nietzsche's Amor fati, 'love for one's fate'.

Seeing everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary. Accepting the world as some kind of perfect poetry. Celebrating the chaos of what is.

(Nietzsche considered it to be "the formula for greatness in a human being")

...and, just as it was easy to twist Nietzschean ideas into Nazi propaganda (despite him being strongly against everything Nazis ever stood for), it was easy to turn our precious boy to something just as sick.

I'm almost sure Mihoyo writers *know* the concept and nazi references are intentional.

His Golden House speech is pure perfection in term of references, really.

codtwt is going off on brainwashed!soap bc of his new warzone skin and it’s making me think of ghost deliberately getting himself captured by makarov bc he knows he’ll be given to his dog to try and break him; knows he won’t be able to resist the irony, the cruelty of being tortured by the teammate he lost

he doesn’t fight; welcomes the chains around his wrists and ankles, welcomes the hands stripping him of his weapons and gear until he's defenceless

he wouldn't use them anyway

when he stalks into the room, the muzzle, the scars, not even the blank hatred or lack of recognition could make him mistake his eyes

that's his johnny

he doesn't flinch as he digs knives into his skin; would never shy away from his kiss even if it's tinged with rusted steel. doesn't swallow his screams; not when he always loved hearing him, when he spent so long coaxing his voice from the grave

frustration joins the anger in johnny's eyes the longer he goes without giving up information

just jokes; dark and puns alike

just advice when he can't get the jumper cables to spark right

ghost's not trying to escape; not trying to barter his return to the 141

he's right where he wants to be

I'm just sayin. Rose knew exactly what the fuck she was doing when she guilted Jack into joining that dinner. She fucking knew what she was doing

Another Cosmere Inktober sketch finished. Ignore the fact it's now April and my last one was December and the sketch was done in October. Just look at my take on Cyberpunk Mistborn Hoid.

rick rounds autistic and gets away with no one ever picking up on it via pretending all of the autism traits are 1) him being rude on purpose and 2) him just being a REALLY dedicated and stoic leader.

he never makes eye contact with anyone and seems to ignore to half of the things you say when talking to him? yeah he’s locked into that sigma grindset bro he doesnt have time for your bullshit. he refuses to let anyone touch him? oh is he also gonna cry and tell you about his feelings while you’re hugging 🥺🥺🥺? he barely makes any facial expressions, his voice is always monotone and he won’t react at all if you break down crying in front of him? yeah hes hardcore man completely unreadable. he gets really loud and angry and unpredictable when theres a lot of people and noise and lights? yeah hes a fucking wildcard bro you dont wanna mess around near him trust me. we need real men like this leading America forward thank god men are finally being masculine again 🙏🙏🙏 (/s)

Okay, I did just make fun of Commorragh (there's. a lot to make fun of. you see, I am also an edgelord so I have carte blanche here by the golden rule of "it takes one to know one"), but in its defense, it did also give me one of thee most fuckable NPCs of all time by my standards

one of the joys of having a mother who is a bit older and..sillier. than average is the memory of my brother trying to explain the concept of a snapchat streak to her. only she could not wrap her brain around the fact that it had nothing to do with streaking as in running around naked. and she just wouldnt drop how horrified she was that her kids would do such a thing. no matter how hard my brother tried to get her to understand she would just say “well……i cant believe you’re doing that😔..…”

something ive been itching to share lately was the fact that i actually did end up watching la tulipe noire (the black tulip) aka the movie that was referenced for norton's black tulip skin (you know the ONE) and the thing that got me the most was the fact that the main character/supporting character and his "love interest" were WAY TOO SIMILAR to constabell and it makes me wanna explode and cry abt it.... let me explain why

the love interest -- caro found julien injured after he fell on his horse. she was actually in the middle of her WEDDING (wow who else had a wedding in her lore????????) so she briefly called off her wedding to help him up while everyone watched and laughed at him (WOW WHO ELSE LAUGHED AT THE POOR MAN WHILE HE STRUGGLED?) and she even bothered to take him back to her home to properly treat his wound (WOW DOESNT THAT SOUND FAMILIAR????????????)

not only that, but the way caro was characterized- her father wanted a son (JUST LIKE IRENES DAD) but since he only had caro, he raised her like a son so she knew how to wield a sword and she was actually the one who taught julien how to use a sword properly. i think thats so cute wkwiwkwiw it reminded me of how i wanted irene to be a little more "rebellious" or "out of her feminine zone" and i even once considered giving irene the skill to fence but never really went with it. caro's actually really tough and independent and i just kept telling myself "omg shes so irene fr" LOLSKSKSKSK

that aside, there was this one scene that came up that made me wanna redraw this someday -- she was treating his wound and then this happened

THE STARE? THE TENSION? THE ROMANTIC UNDERTONES? IMPECCABLE. ADDED TO MY TO-DRAW LIST. I LOVE THEM

Jayce isn't a himbo. Stop calling him that.

the fun thing about playing make-believe with your friends is that sometimes instead of playing your regular dnd session you instead end up playing a convoluted speed dating game in-universe where you all get so excited about the npcs you’ve made specifically for this purpose and the dates you’re going on in the game in the game that you make plans to play two times in the same week instead of the regular once or twice a month you usually manage

Arcane x Game of Thrones crossover where Viktor is isekaied into Viserys, brother of Daenerys, Mother of Dragons, body

He wakes up on a house in Bravos with these memories that make zero sense to him but the euphoria of functioning lungs are distracting him from analyzing it to much

There is an old man there. He calls him prince. The old man is dying and the servants have a greed in their eyes that Viktor knows well, he was seen it enough on the streets of Zaun

A hunger for more after years of scraps while in the shadows of prosperity

He could fight them, poison them even. The trouble such actions may bring to him would be worth for his sole survival in the long run. But he is not alone in here.

There is a girl. Not older than a toddler.

Dany. His new sister.

The choice is easy really. So there he goes, a staff made from one of the thicker branches of the lemon tree in the front yard (he misses his cane turned staff. Even with both legs functioning, he missed the weight in his hand. And, as the undercity had shown him, having something that you could use as a range weapon was always a good thing) in the dead of the night to steal as much food and coin he can carry with him

He takes one of the fabrics with him so he can wrap it around the tiny girl that is now his responsibility. He wraps her to his back, her tiny body flush against him. Alive, close, protected.

She nuzzles closer to his neck, her tiny hands on his shoulders.

He knows her for only a day and he would destroy the world for her

When he goes back to his world (because he would find a way back) he would be taking her with him

A staff, a purse of coins, a bag with food and a toddler on his back

That’s how the first assassin sent by King Robert finds them

That’s the last thing said assassin sees before the young prince stabs him, hits him in the head with the staff and drops him in the river

Viktor grew up in Zaun. An assassin had to do way better than that if they wanted to off him. Especially because he was fighting for someone besides himself

For himself ? He would survive.

For Dany? He would thrive!
