Back at it again with another theory: What if Lucanis’ betrayal wasn’t a betrayal at all?

(obviously, spoilers below the cut)

During The Wigmaker Job, we have some dialogue between Illario and Lucanis about their position within both the Crows and the Dellamorte family. Illario wants Caterina to step down so he can take the coveted First Talon spot. Lucanis reassures him that his time is coming, to which Illario makes a snide comment about whether his cousin would ever go against their grandmother’s wishes. When they continue the conversation after the job, Illario states that Lucanis is the potential heir, that he’s her favorite, and that he’s unlikely to say no to her. Lucanis doesn’t argue, only insists that he doesn’t want to be First Talon, and that he hopes she’ll see reason before that. It’s mentioned again in Eight Little Talons - Caterina favors Lucanis. It’s well-known enough among the Crows that Viago and Teia discuss it in front of her (not on purpose, but she doesn’t deny it). He’s her prodigy through and through.

In the opening scene for the Lucanis quest in Veilguard, Caterina is poised, as you’d expect of the First Talon. She’s certain that the body they buried wasn’t her grandson, that it had been altered with blood magic. She doesn’t pose it as a theory, though: she poses it as a fact. It could, of course, merely be her confidence, but there’s another very unusual aspect to the scene – everyone else discusses how Lucanis was clearly betrayed, that someone must have sold him out in order for the Venatori to capture him. Caterina is the only one in that room who never speaks on it. She doesn’t ask for justice, doesn’t mention vengeance, never acknowledges that her grandson was sold out by someone he trusted – perhaps because he wasn’t. 

What if, when Caterina comes to him with a plan, with an impossible request, he’s still her favorite prodigal grandchild, and he still does whatever she asks? She’s had him tortured before as a child, has tortured and starved and beaten him herself before, because it makes him stronger and more resistant to it in the future. He says in The Wigmaker Job that he used to hate her for it, but now he understands. He justifies it. All Crows justify it, because they have to - if they don’t, then the cruelty wasn’t for survival’s sake, and their suffering meant nothing. Perhaps he doesn’t even question it. When Caterina tells him that she has a job for him, he takes it. 

What if the contract has a caveat? Sure, Calivan must die by his hand by the end of it, a little treat for a job well done, but what if his primary mission is reconnaissance, is discovery? The Venatori are using blood magic to torture and corrupt prisoners. It would behoove the Crows to find out what it entails and how to resist it, before it’s turned back on them. It would have to be someone so deeply, unabashedly loyal to her that when she asked them to infiltrate a Venatori prison, expecting torture at best, their own death at worst, they’d take the job anyway, no questions asked - someone Caterina can trust, certainly, but also someone who has never once said no to her.

And Lucanis has always been a loyal grandson.

As much fun as I'm having doing my alternative run of DA2, one thing I really miss about my mage Hawke is his friendship with Merrill.

Those two are best friends and he's 100% supportive in her goals toward the eluvian. Ed has the humorous/charming personality, too, which bounces off super well with Merrill. He doesn't think any less of her for her usage of blood magic; if anything he's impressed by her level of strength and willpower. He's so ready to defend her from the other companions and the clan, and he's absolutely out here attempting to matchmake her and Carver....at least he is in my heart because the game won't let me, it's fine, I'm not bitter about it or anything-

But then my warrior Hawke? She has the diplomatic personality with quite a bit of direct/aggressive thrown in there and she ends up having the same attitude as that one party banter Aveline and Merrill have: "Merrill, you're clearly talented and meant for great things, but you're stupid," and that's so difficult for me to lean into. I'm trying to play Aris differently so she ends up being so condescending to Merrill, like she's trying to gently tell her to give up on the eluvian but it doesn't come off well.

Also if Carver was around, Aris would be the opposite of Ed, she'd look at the suggestion of her brother and Merrill getting together and be like, "No :) I don't think so :) I like Merrill, she's my friend :) but she's not right for Carver."

But I guess it makes sense; if you told him that Bethany would giggle and kick her feet and twirl her hair around Sebastian, Ed would've thrown him in the ocean as a warning. Meanwhile, Aris is like, "A handsome prince that could take my sister away from all of this? Wonderful, we just need to work on his incorrect views on mages, but that shouldn't be a problem :)"

Anyway I miss playing Hawke as the #1 Merrill stan.

[leggerefiore]

Okay idea. Childhood friends with zorua emmet.

Like fluffy children stuff and one day you two get lost in the forest of course emmet is all “I’ll protect you!” And he does until there’s actual danger, when he tries he gets hurt say like a wild ursaring. When the bear goes to attack you emmet evolves to protect you or something.

Idk just brain fart of emmet evolving into zoruark emmet and goes ape shit. Now you have protective fox man

using the normal, not fox god au for this ask lol

Since he is a Hisuian Zoroark, that poor Ursaring is getting cursed. Hard. (Tbh, evolution is mostly just puberty for hybrids so they just grow into their evolutions rather than "evolve" in the normal game sense.) So, like on the brink of being a Zoroark but still a Zorua Emmet is probably trying to both show off to you and play with you by hunting and scavenging with you, but the sudden shift from an upset Ursaring, he finally has the jolt to properly call upon Bitter Malice.

Needless to say, seeing him go from playful, cute Zorua hybrid to terrifying Zoroark hybrid may shock you more than the bear attack. With the Ursaring subdued, he turns to you and lifts you up into his arms before running away back his home because he is still worried about you. Poor Ingo gets growled at when he tries to check on you as Emmet is hanging off of you in complete protective mode. Whenever he leaves, though, he almost seems like a puppy again as he whines for you to pet him.

When you both are older, you can look back on that as the beginning of him trying to guard you from Ingo, whose annoyance varies based on the situation about this.

Hey Quil, I thought you’d be the perfect person to help me out with this! Me and a few others are having a Twilight marathon. For drinks we will be obtaining vampire slayer rebels (from Dutch Bros) and water (to reference the scene where Bella casually pours the whole cup back into the sink <3). However, we have no ideas for food/snacks.

Thoughts?

Alright okay alright, I will do my best! I am just brainstorming and throwing out ideas to see what sticks, take what works (if anything)

First thought: mushroom ravioli and coke. That's what Bella orders at the restaurant with Edward because it was the first thing she saw on the menu. Apples. Can't go wrong with a nice bright red apple they're the star of the cover (or green if you're reading Life and Death, the genderbend). If we're going for a cover theme, then pomegranates from Midnight Sun are also good (but going out of season). Cheerios! Bella has cheerios for breakfast the morning after the meadow, which Edward watches her eat. If you want to honor Charlie Swan, fish is an excellent way to do so. But if you're more of a werewolf person, Emily makes fresh blueberry muffins right after Jacob spills the werewolf beans in New Moon! Oh but if we back it up a book, pizza could be tied to the cafeteria and Edward, as it's the food item he forces down to show he can eat non blood things. OH! Speaking of the cafeteria: an entire block of gouda cheese, a banana half-peeled face down on the table, and a single carrot (for Edward, who's absent). Or a bag of eggs if you want to go Emmett style. Anything Italian! Her name is Bella, after all. You could go fried chicken to reference Bella's pregnancy revelation (for extra authenticity, you could have spoiled fried chicken) (also anything egg related for the whole pregnancy thing she ate so many eggs). if you're into it, black licorice is Bella's favorite candy. This is very Bella focused hmm. Any lion themes snacks? Animal crackers to represent the wide variety of beasts that the Cullens hunt? Baby formula to honor Nessie.

That's quite a chunk of twilight-themed ideas ranging from more filling to more snackable items, taken from several book and movie scenes. I hope this can help you figure out some ideas! Again, I take no offense if none of these work for you :)

i’m gonna lose my mind; i thought this could be a ‘quick’ fic (clocking it at like. 6k) but no, it’s not. zoro won’t shut up. so much for head empty, no thoughts. dude’s got too much to say.
