KAYN 

Ever since joining Heartsteel, Kayn's 'Rhaast' outbursts have lessened in frequency and severity. Of course, his alter-ego makes regular appearances, but being with a group that encourages and accepts him rather than holds him back and tries to get him under control has made it so that Kayn feels less need to express his feelings in such an explosive, reckless way. Of course, he'll never admit that his newfound friends are the reason for his recent (very, VERY slight) stability.

Kayn is extremely choosy with his jewelry. He fronts like he doesn't want to wear "cheap, lame shit"—but actually, he just reacts to most metals. If he doesn't check to make sure his earrings are hypoallergenic, he ends up with a massive rash. Why the excuse? He is NOT about to admit he has sensitive skin.

Probably not a surprise, but Kayn breaks his phone CONSTANTLY. With all his reckless antics, it's rare for a new phone to last him more than a few months. The silver lining is that he at least has his emergency contacts (the Heartsteel members, of course) memorized from entering them into his contacts list so often.

Kayn also has a burner phone he uses for Rhaast.

Maybe you'd expect Kayn to have an enormous rager for his birthday, but the truth is, he doesn't actually like that many people. Instead he invites a handful of his actual friends to the shared Heartsteel apartment for a joint Halloween/birthday party. Costumes mandatory, noise complaints expected. Kayn will tell you to your face if he thinks your costume is stupid.

Kayn's got a lucky guitar pick. Somehow, he’s never lost it.

Wherever Kayn goes, property damage often follows. For Heartsteel's sake, he's cleaned up his act a tiny bit, mostly because he's scared of respects Yone, who gets pissed whenever Kayn breaks too much shit. But come on, you can't deny a man all of life's simple pleasures—you gotta let him graffiti the side of a water tower every once in awhile, or blow up the occasional car.

Notorious for social media rampages, Kayn's been banned from using the Heartsteel twitter. (The last straw was him using the account to threaten a member of his old band. Apparently, Alune didn't think "I'LL FUKKIN DOXX U LOL" an appropriate use of the official twitter account.) He's still semi-active on his personal accounts, but only in sporadic bursts.

Kayn knows how to tie a knot in a cherry stem with his tongue.

Like most rockstars, Kayn dabbles in cocaine. His drug use is pretty limited, though, mostly because he doesn't really need drugs to be high-energy and unhinged. When clips of his erratic behavior surface or Kayn goes on a twitter rampage, newer fans often speculate about Kayn being on drugs. Veteran Heartbeats know that he’s just Like That, though. 

Kayn says he doesn't have a favorite bandmate. (He does. It's Ezreal.)

A lot of the time, Kayn has to be reminded to eat. When he's busy writing songs or hanging out with the band, stopping for a bite never crosses his mind. Thankfully, Sett's on top of his meal schedule (gotta hit those macros!) so he'll remind Kayn that lunch is a Thing That Exists.

Kayn spends a ridiculous amount of time on his nails. Cuticles? Trimmed. Polish? Immaculate, and always black or burgundy. Topcoat? Applied and glass-smooth. Of course he'll deny that his nail routine is so precise because it doesn't fit his devil-may-care image, but come on. Chipped OPI and hangnails? Couldn't be him.

Kayn hates nothing more than the passenger seat. Let him drive! Yes, he knows that he's gotten two speeding tickets in the past three months. Yes, he's completely aware that K'sante got violently carsick the last time Kayn drove everyone to Taco Bell. He does not care. He will NEVER care. Driving is fun and driving recklessly is really fun.

You won't catch Kayn in a salon. He dyes and cuts his own hair in his bathroom. (How is it still so perfect?!)

Kayn is way too eager to help Aphelios pull pranks on people. Unfortunately, he can dish it out, but he can't take it. A prank on Kayn has a 50/50 chance of putting him in a sour, bitchy mood for the next hour.

Of all the band members, Kayn's the one that spends the most time alone. He doesn't have many friends outside Heartsteel. And, even though he knows his band has his back and he appreciates them, he needs frequent social breaks.

Kayn's the ultimate night owl. It's rare for him to go to bed before 4 AM. Despite this, he's always up before ten. Maybe it's Yone's rigorous recording schedule that gets him up. Maybe he's so high-energy, his body can't stand staying still for more than six hours. Maybe, though, it's just all the Monster energy drinks.

Consider it a sign that he likes you if Kayn spam-texts you. If he doesn't, he won't even bother responding. (But, if he suddenly stops texting you out of the blue? Don't worry. He probably broke his phone. Again.)

Junps from window whats up i need to know your racetrack thoughts

there's so many, anon

ok so first off, my boy. the boy ever. yes yes, I do know the fandom overhypes him, but I adored that scraggly lil adhd sucker way before I got on newsieblr, so those haters can succhiami le noci.

but the he! I've seen so many trans!race hcs and I honestly adore it we need more rep and he's just so ghgaaaaah/pos

he's also simply too silly and. hyper to not be adhd so you will rip that hc out of my cold dead hands

I ADORE sprace, yes, I do know they almost never interact in livesies, but their 92sies dynamic is so so fun and great, all the kudos to max casella and gabriel damon, excellent job, boys. especially since max was like, way older than all the others?? great job man, most fifteen year old twenty three year old I've ever seen

and don't even get me STARTEd on ben cook n tommy bracco. CARA DEI THEYRE SO FUN

the first time I saw livesies and race appeared on the scaffolding, I was like 'oh yeah, this gangly blond twink with the cigar is gonna be my favorite.' and then in Brooklyn's here??? when they all get lit up with the spotlights and spots just fukkin TINY???? LOVE IT

I think I'm also just biased towards race because I too, am a short sassy brunet trans guy, so like. mhm.

I was re-reading Love in Vain by matty_macgregor on ao3 just now and this passage got me thinking about Venti and how he's written in this fic and how I absolutely adore it.

1 thing before we start, yes we are going to look over the fact that this whole fukkin ESSAY came from a 10k pwp

"“Interesting,” he murmured. “Our anemo archon truly isn’t as the Church makes him out to be.”

“Are you surprised, Master Diluc?” Venti asked, breathless.

“No. Nowhere in canon did I ever hear that Barbatos is a drunkard, a lecher, or that he likes being roughened up.” Diluc cocked his head as he moved–there was something hard poking at him. “Or that he gets hard by being thrown to the ground.”

Venti grinned then, all easy grace and smug amusement, as if he weren’t pinned down on the ground by a man twice his size. The arrogance in the tilt of his chin made Diluc want to strangle him. “Nowhere in your family history does it say that a Ragnvindr likes to sit on a hard cock, but here we are.” His eyes crinkled as his smile widened. “You’re not so different from your ancestors, Master Diluc. All the same pretty face, all the same fiery passion. All the same devotion and eagerness to service your archon.”"

I don't know how to explain it but one thing I adore in fanfiction is exploring traits about characters that aren't well focused on in canon. Say there's a throwaway line about an event or an unexplained design detail. I love to think and read about those.

Here, it's Venti's archonhood.

I just love to think about who he is when he's not Venti the "Tone-Deaf" Bard. I want to see him as Barbatos.

And Love in Vain does that really well. In this Venti is still cheery, yes, but he's a lot more realistic with it. He is proud and arrogant and confident about it, he is mature and mostly serious. He's being himself and not amping it up for appearances. To me, Venti seems very over the top in game, idk if it's just bc it's a game and he has to be to get the point across or its the voice acting or whatbut it seems forced.

This is the most realistic I've ever heard or seen venti written.

Diluc knows this isn't just some guy, he knows how dangerous Venti is and that he is far more powerful than Diluc is and they both know it. He says it himself

Diluc wasn’t a mean lover. He would never, ever hurt anyone. If Venti had been simply what he projected to be, a childish, slightly dumb bard too short to be considered an adult, he wouldn’t have been rough. But this wasn’t a simple bard. This man was Barbatos , the anemo archon, a being of incomprehensible age and power. 

And even as he lied there and allowed his mouth to be devoured and his hair to be tugged and his arms to be pinned down, Diluc felt that power humming just below his skin. Anemo swirled around them, just enough to make itself known. Diluc sensed it the same way he sensed his own pyro powers when he called them forth. It was there, lingering under the surface. He knew Venti could turn the gentle breeze into a gale that would send his body crashing into the nearest tree. Venti could steal the air from his lungs, could kill him with a tiny flick of his little finger.

Honestly idk what point to make at the end here other than that I fucking adore it when Venti is treated like the ageless, proud and wise god alongside his cheery mask and somewhat lethal alcoholism and that you should go read this fic.

OHHEY I FORGOT TO TELL Y'ALL I got a cat Adopted him from a shelter, 4 months old He was named Spirit but he didn't recognize his name yet so they asked if we wanted to change it My brother wants to call him Luke, but my parents have been calling him Lucas

[bansheeoftheforest]

You say chonky baby Henry, I say Henry's default is pudgy and he just hasn't been eating enough. The minute Robert picks up on his bad eating habits and makes him eat dinner with him every day, he gets his Chonk back, and anyone crushing on him is absolutely screwed because he is So Cute and So Handsome and looks So Happy. The battle for his affections quickly involves giving him snacks and taking him to dinner. Bonus happy side effect; Rachel notices Hyde gaining a bit more weight and is relieved that he doesn't look like a drowned rat anymore.

Ooo hurt/comfort bonus though; Frankenstein makes some snarky comments about his weight just trying to get under his skin and the Lodgers fukkin POUNCE and go off about body shaming. Frankenstein is in trouble for a while, especially with Maijabi (Henry's science dad), Rachel (who's been trying to get Henry to eat more for forever), and Robert (who JUST got Henry to start forming healthier habits).

CHONKY HENRY SUPREMACY.

I did confirm yesterday that I am a chonky bastard, and while chonk often can (keyword being CAN, not that it does always) make me uncomfortable, i LOVE chonky Henry. Chonky baby Henry chonky adult Henry GIVE THE MAN SOME FLUFF OK. Give me Henry being a fucking twig because he has a bad appetite and problems with remembering to eat and the MOMENT Robert realizes how thin Henry has gotten, he makes sure that bastard EATS like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING. Henry slowly but surely 1) getting a good appetite and 2) getting his chonk back because the chonk is natural and it's just like he is growing back into his skin. Actually having energy and his body actually functioning and Henry actually getting happy chemicals because he isn't starving. All those swooning for him swooning HARDER because he looks handsome and happy and ESPECIALLY when he actually has some fluff. Also henry getting stronger because his body can actually work on his muscles yes and PLEASE.

Frankenstein would be such a hypocrite about Henry and his tiny bit of chonk because she is built like a fucking bulldog. Maybe she would say that he is getting chonk because he is a lazy bastard and a rich aristocrat or whatever and teh Lodgers. WOULD POUNCE at her. Grab her by her collar and shake her like DONT YOU SEE THAT HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A SICK CHIHUAHUA ANYMORE WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. I just... yes <3 Also projecting more hurt comfort by having Henry feel guilty and having those words nagging in him only for Maijabi, Rachel, Robert, and Jasper to just hug the shit out of him because dont he DARE think that it's NOT GOOD that he has chonk. Just. Yes pls <3

[idontknowhowtodrawmyself]

Sometimes, I figure out a sneaky plan for one of the antagonists, and then I become nervous that the plan will succeed and my players will be upset. Okay, so here’s the story:

The players have been hunting down the slime clone of a PC to bring the PC back, and they finally captured the slime in the previous session. However, his slimy abilities and cool new tricks gave him a possible out. If he escaped, the party would have to cross countries for a third time (or fourth?) in their hunt for him. And the craziest thing happened; His plan worked. He was bound and restrained in a tiny hut, so his spells were limited to the inside of the hut. The monk of the party was in there as well, and the slime clone now knew what the party members could do. So he dominated the monk, got them to stun the wizard and kick her out of the tiny hut, thus dispelling the tiny hut, and then the monk went for the sorcerer. He wasn’t stunned, but he did cast shield using his reaction, allowing the slime clone to cast teleport and escape.

Now for some worldbuilding: in my setting, most conjuration magic is a little more limited, due to an attempt to keep outsiders from entering the plane. The ley lines aren’t as reliable away from certain points where they connect and are bound to magical trees. The slime clone’s teleport spell was thus subject to a minuscule chance of a mishap and false destination. And… the party had been interrogating him while he was at one hit point. So, of course he rolled a mishap, ended up off-target, took damage, started making death saves. The cleric (former slime clone and best friend to this slime clone’s non-slime self (it’s a long story)) cast scrying and saw the slime FUKKIN DIE. I rolled a nat 1 for his first save, and an 8 for the second. They eventually managed to retrieve the slime and return the soul to the real body. Now they just need to restore his memories, and a greater restoration spell isn’t enough to fix this mind flayer bs.

[ayankun]

things that make me ABSOLUTELY INSANE about episode 5

REMEMBER WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE LAUGH TRACK PROBABLY BEING OF NARRATIVE IMPORT, and then it COMPLETELY WAS A PLOT POINT this week, in the first scene with Agnes flubbing her part, AND THEN the CCs actually did notate the audience reactions --

-- but only at the end of the fucking episode when “Pietro” shows up???????

whyyyyyy

The fact that Elizabeth Olsen plays a character who not only is a twin but also has twins on a show that sends up the show on which her IRL twin sisters played one single character. 

The part where Wanda tried to use her powers on her babies physically turned my stomach and I was SO GLAD it didn’t work.

UGHH that dancing-with-the-babies-date like FUCK domesticity is my KINK.

There was an OVERLOAD of primary colors on the set this week, and I desire to know what it means.  Is it because babies/kids are associated with primary colors?  Was the Full House house littered with red-yellow-blue?  TELL ME WHAT IS THE REASON.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT is the connection between Agnes and Dennis.  They had that whole interlude in ep 2, and now they both demonstrate an actionable fear of displeasing Wanda, when everyone else is/has been more or less outwardly oblivious to the situation.  (Dennis has a copy of his IRL person’s driver’s license on the mystery board, but Agnes DOES NOT)

I legit called the aging-up of the kids.  I said it out loud two weeks ago.  You know who you are, you can back me up on this.  They can play within the cut-corners of the sitcom-fiction format.  In fact, Jimmy said what we were ALL thinking, “they’ll be empty-nesters by the end of the episode” and I’m IMPRESSED AND DISGUSTED that they know what we’re thinking because they wanted us to think it.

when the Wanda-magic red brush went in and lovingly, unnervingly brought Vision to life in the new 80s opening credits, I screamed “FUCK YOOOOU” at my computer screen I do not lie

Birds.  Birds and flowers.  Birds and flowers are very everywhere.  On the walls, on the clothes.  This whole times.  oh what can it mean.  I need to know what it means.

I LEGIT thought the joke was going to be that Vision doesn’t have any baby photos and just existed as a full grown adult, but then the joke was that he does have baby photos

THIS

He has a chip in his hand and then he throws it over his shoulder because he doesn’t eat food.

I’m honestly conflicted as to whether I’m reading Jimmy as gay or in a very cute and nerdy OT3 with Darcy and Monica.

STOP

HAMMER TIME

Is Wanda being mind-controlled to resurrect Vision so that SWORD can co-opt him as their new weapon and the investigation/rescue/assassination scenario is itself a staged production cast with unwitting players??????

I PROMISE this is not what it looks like:

IT’S THE LOBSTER JELLO MOLD OR WHATEVER FROM THE TOASTER AD IN EP 1

ok I won’t joke around, I rewatched this on my folks’ monster tv and when I paused to see what ad was on the paper this time, my brain CRUMPLED:

THAT IS A PICTURE OF AN ASTRONAUT INSIDE A TV.  MOONMEN CONFIRMED

Also, the frontpage headline is “Local Homemakers Innovating Recipes,” emphasis on home-making.  Making a home.  From scratch.  With your mind.  Wanda.

Also-also, the tiny scroll over the top is like “MORE DRAMATIC DETAILS ABOUT THE LIGHTS IN THE SKY ABOVE WESTVIEW”

Are these SWORD-infiltrating-the-magic-barrier lights, or are these UFOSSSSSS

The realization that when Agnes appeared like a fairy godmother to help Wanda out of the dinner jam in ep 1, it was Wanda manifesting a solution to her problem using her God-will :|||||||||

HWAT is the emblem on Agnes’ brooch:

“Wanda, we are usually so much of the same mind.”  OOF

Jimmy just GLEEFULLY marching in with coffee for his girlfriends and ONLY for his girlfriends

fukkin  HEXAGON >> HEX >> MAGIC >> SCARLET WITCH INCOMING YOOOOOOOOOOOO

NORM SNAPPING BACK INTO CHARACTER MID-EXISTENTIAL-CRISIS GOOD LOOORRRRDDDDD GIVE THIS MAN AN EMMY RIGHT MEOW

NOT WANDA INSTRUCTING HER CHILDREN ON THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP OF LIVING THINGS, AND THEN WATCHING HER SON MAKE THE DOG DO TRICKS AT HIS BIDDING -- LIKE MOTHER LIKE SON AMIRITE

So I don’t have a Unified Theory of Color for the WandaVision canon yet, but even a chump like me can pick out RBG:

somebodypleasejustellmewhatthegoddamnbirdsmean

I KNOW I’m insane, I’m totally not debating that, but “no joy” sounds a lot like it could have something to do with NJ, WestView, NJ.  W V, N J i mean I’m crazy, but it’s not not there

like okay, so IRL Wanda is still fully Sokovian, accent and all ... she had a tough life from a young age and I firmly cannot believe she spent any of that time watching mid-century American sitcoms so I STILL BELIEVE, AT THIS POINT, that we are being told that there is some other entity at least partially responsible for what’s going on here. 

like Monica said, I don’t think any of this was by Wanda’s design.  I think there’s a Wanda what done the grave robbery, and a Wanda what got whammied same as Monica did when she got stuck inside, the difference between Wanda-Wanda allowed to be in control somewhat and Monica getting overwritten as Geraldine being that Wanda has Mind Stone powers and that’s the root cause of all this reality-bending stuff (and the CMBR)

CASE IN POINT OF WANDA STARTING OUT AN INNOCENT AND INADVERTENTLY, OVER TIME, SLOWLY, WILLFULLY TAKING CONTROL ---

1) Vision suspects as much, and he’s perfect, so he’s probably right.

2) The nature of the female-empowerment agenda depicted in the mid-roll ads, where early on the Woman Character was subservient to the Man Character, and as of this week’s ad, the Man is comically infantilized while the Woman more or less has her shit together

3) FOR WHEN YOU MAKE A MESS YOU DIDN’T MEAN TO

Jezus you guys, the whole concept of the show using the gradual sophistication of the American television audience, as represented by the amalgam of the content it consumed in particular eras, to underscore Wanda’s own gradual journey from the vapid fiction of the post-war Dream Life to the slightly more heavy, but no less contrived fiction of the Perfect Family,,,,,,,,

AND THEN you have the ads, which also mirror the real-world marketing attitudes of the time

which also mirror Wanda and Vision’s personal histories to date

which also mirror the evolution of Wanda’s personal rise to power as depicted in this specific show

“Bring who back?” GOD there is an ELEPHANT in the ROOM and his name is VISION

Vision just BLUNTLY BRINGING UP THE FACT THAT WANDA IS RUINING EVERYONE’S LIVES LIEK WHAT ARE YOU DOING BRO

and then she ROLLS CREDITS ON HIM LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL GIRLBOSSSSSS

holy crap, 4th wall much???

WHY DID THEY AHVE TO BE IN THE AIR FOR THAT ARUGMENET I MEAN I’M NOT COMPLAINING BUT IT IS HILARIOUS AS ALL HELL

JEEEEEEZ so the reveal that all this is real people real stuff real place, and that this is Vision’s stone-cold corpse with a fresh new mind shoved inside of it -- he legit has no memory of the Before, because that wasn’t even him.  He’s just as trapped as anybody else, and Wanda is his domestic abuser !!!!!!

I HATE IT HERE

[barbitone]

Captive Prince Fic Recs

I’ve been saving these for a while, but looks like it’s a good day to share! ...because this is the Good Shit. 

One the Other by Ruby_Wednesday (rated E; 200K)

Marlas goes badly for Damen. He goes back to Ios with Laurent as his reluctant ward. aka an AU where Laurent grows up in Akielos. (I love this AU so damn much, I don’t generally go in for fics over 60k but this had me spellbound throughout T_T)

Lines on Palms by Fahye (rated E; Series of 3 fics for a total of 35k)

Hi, holy shit this was so good? Laurent first meets Damen when he’s sent to Akielos as part of a Veretian delegation, and then he goes on to be so fukkin in character for the whole thing it’s just delightful. Fahye really captures Laurent’s twistiness, and Damen is perfect in his own way. Auguste, of course, LIVES and is a troll in all the ways I love

Honestly just go ahead and read all of Fahye’s capri fics. They’re all great but I particularly enjoyed:

Dilation by Fahye, theopteryx (Pacific Rim AU)

run all the lights by Fahye (fast and the furious AU)

No Rush by blacktofade (rated E; 13k)

Laurent is eleven when he’s introduced by his brother to Prince Damianos. (an Auguste lives and is a Big Ole Troll fic that soothes my heart)

More below the cut!

Murmur of the Land by blacktofade (rated E; 3k)

An alternate take on the tiny tent scene from Prince's Gambit. (this is such a good take and so perfectly in character- it could have so happened exactly like this)

Winged Cupid Painted Blind by Kittendiamore (rated T; 20k)

When Laurent's cousin - the soon to be fiancée of King Damianos of Akielos- elopes with her lover, Laurent hatches a plan to avoid a war. Masquerading as his cousin, Laurent must be as politely unlikable as possible to make Damen decide to call off the wedding. Unfortunately, Damianos happens to be one of the most amiable men he's ever met. (omg this was just great, I was smiling the whole time)

ALSO- Please read all their other fics also because they’re GREAT

Lovefool by Kittendiamore (rated G; 4k)

It starts, embarrassingly enough, with an ad from Craigslist:

"I’m a 21 y.o art student (male), writing a thesis on the relationship between performance and the awareness of the audience. You don’t care about that. I’m an actor offering to give you the most dramatic night of your life. I’ll be your date to any event/function/family gathering, and convince your friends/family members that I’m either: the biggest mistake of your life or the best thing that ever happened to you. Up to you. I’m very good at what I do."

(this is some of the cutest shit ever- Modern AU

Foreign Correspondent by thegreatpumpkin for notallbees

Do you know how disheartening it is to have a foreigner charm your brother, treat you like a friend, and then forget you as soon as he returns home? At Auguste's wedding, Laurent and Damen renew their acquaintance.

Weighed and Measured by Kittendiamore

Laurent makes a wish in a magic cave, and wakes up in an alternate universe where Auguste is still alive. But things, of course, are more complicated than they seem

And you GOTTA read the follow up fics about Murder!Laurent!!!!

Your Majesty series by Josselin

Josselin has a lot of great fics, but my fave series are:

Sent Away by Josselin

The Wager by Josselin (Damen/Laurent/Nikandros!!)

An Imagined Reunion by panpinecone

This one is definitely not for everyone, but it was beautiful and so poignantly angsty. The basic premise is- Laurent wants to have sex with Damen while pretending that Damen is Auguste

Pawn Sacrifice by damnmads, The Librarina (tears_of_nienna)

The war with Akielos has settled into an uneasy alliance, and Prince Damianos is sent to spend a year at Arles. Seven years later, he returns to Vere to offer condolences to King Auguste on the death of his father. But Auguste’s younger brother is much changed, as is the political climate in Vere, and Prince Laurent is the target of an assassin. When Damen returns to Akielos, an unexpected guest is sent with him—but danger follows, and the fate of two kingdoms hangs in the balance.

What might have changed if Auguste lived—and what was inevitable, even so.

DGM 229 - Panthaleia’s Translation Notes

HI GUYS, GUESS WHO'S NOT DEAD

(it's us)

(especially @krorys)

(hooray)

On this fine summer day we are delighted to bring you chapter 229, which is full-length and charming as heck. I had a lot of fun with this one, guys, and I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoyed translating it.

1.) Cover: LOVE YOU TOO, DUMBSHIT ♥

2.) Wait, since when can the present change the past? I stared at this for a while to make sure I had it right and yeah, that's definitely what it says:

現在[f: いま]だけが過去と未来を変えられる genzai (f: ima) dake ga kako to mirai wo kaerareru

w hat

3a.) I goofed up: the town is locked down with talismans, not tighter than the field of one such. Will fix when I can.

3b.) I'm not 100% sure if it should be Operation "Lola" or "Roller;" the katakana say "ro-la-," which could be either. I liked Lola better so I went with that, but if I get proven wrong later, this'll be here to prove I did consider the other possibility. :P

4.) "Only Kanda and the general have left since then" GOSH I WONDER WHERE THEY WENT? GEE

(I mean, I can't really blame them for not suspecting the heretofore impeccably loyal Tiedoll. They're still going to be kicking themselves in a little bit, though.)

5.) RIGHT IN THE SLAMMER, BYE. Hilarious as that was, though, it's really nice to see Kanda use his vicious reputation for good! His embarrassment over the charade probably lent it much of the genuine intimidation factor that chased off the Finders. It was a really effective way to keep them from searching the carriage, though I can't imagine it was fun to be Johnny back there, squished in with a worked-up Kanda and Allen (who was probably quietly goading him, to boot).

Extra note: I realize that "lololol" is extra non-period accurate but Hoshino literally wrote "wwww" there sooooo.

6.) Sweet Krory, hoping so hard he won't actually find them, pretending to look for them anyway to protect his place with the Order. Sad anxious baby. It looks like Chaozii's suspicious, which isn't surprising.

7.) That fukkin stream-of-consciousness background text panel felt like a personal fuck-you from Hoshino to every translator working on this, lmao. God.

ETA: There was actually more of it that we couldn’t fit in there. For real. The full section:

This is the next step. I must not stop. I have to get moving. They're desperate enough to bet their lives on this, after all, but I'm just as desperate to escape. To be frank, the bullets from Master's Judgement  were much more difficult to evade than the debt collectors. I really don't want to go through that again. It was practice, though, and after that, running from the debt collectors has been easy as falling off a log.

To make it clear, his monologue is a flashback from before he fled the Order, so it’s not about his current flight. He’s just talking about the repo men.

8.) Tiedoll and Johnny bonding over the loveliness of a starry sky is both tremendously charming and tremendously sad. Let the Science Division see the sky sometimes, Order?? Maybe???

9.) Allen can't even look at Tim's remains, and Johnny can't look at him because of how much it hurts to do so, this is THE MOST painful thing. I'm crying. I never expected to be this emotional about an animated blob of gold with creepy teeth and no eyes.

10.) My favourite part of the next page is Lujun's little aside on the left margin. YOU TELL 'EM, BUDDY

11.) lmao @ Johnny's eventual lack of surprise over Link being alive because he's a) ex-CROW and b) works for Lvellie?? I'm not sure what Johnny thinks Lvellie is capable of, exactly, but it's clearly more than he probably actually is. Despite his baking prowess, he is not actually magic so far as we know (unlike almost everyone else).

12.) ohhh mannnnn I was wondering if Allen would risk trying to recruit any more allies from the Order despite the risk of Falling, and here's my answer: resounding nope

It's killing me that despite how far he'd come re: relying on his comrades more, not trying to do everything himself, he... actually does kind of have to, this time? He can't trust anyone, himself least of all. There is a clear and present danger to everyone around him should they help him or learn any more than they do know, including but not limited to the Fall and/or Apocryphos' attentions. Kanda should stay behind, with the Order, for all those reasons as well as the current frailty of his used-up, exhausted body. So should Johnny, as he's essentially defenceless, and it's much harder to fight while protecting someone vulnerable. Going it alone is terrible for Allen himself, but the right call for literally every other reason, and I'm in pain.

13.) Okay the flashbacky bits are a little confusing, but most of those lines are from the third Reverse novel, the "Lost Fragments of Snow" story about how Mana and Allen met. I dug up my novel just to make sure of who said which parts of it:

Red: Why aren't you crying? (about Allen-the-dog’s death)

Mana: Guess my tears have all dried up.

Red: Didn't you share your lives? (again, re: Mana and dog)

Mana: If I grieve, the Earl will come... (re: Mana’s scrambled memory around the topic of sorrow summoning the Earl)

Mana: Because you were Allen [the dog's] friend, right? (Mana realizing why Red was crying over Allen-the-dog’s grave)

Allen internalized a lot back then, and in the moment is basically thinking that he can’t allow himself to grieve for Timcanpy, because it might draw the Earl’s attention to him again after he just barely escaped. I’m just. I’m in agony. 

14.)  There's one tiny odd thing in the next bit that might be nothing, but I'll include it just in case anyone else notices it and wonders: Allen does end the I can't tell you anything after all sentence with the "ya" sentence-final particle, which is mostly specific to southern Kansai dialects like Osaka-ben these days, but used to be more common across the country around the time this manga takes place. Old men using it is a bit of a trope in fiction, to show how old they are, lol. He also drawls his “nannimo” (extra n) a bit, which is -- again -- a bit odd. It comes off kind of unusually casual, but then, the rest of the scene is totally in character. I’m not sure what to make of it just yet. If I change it, it would be to something like “Can’t tell you nothin’ after all.”

15.) Poor, poor Johnny. He tries so hard, but he can't seem to keep up with Allen. :((

(T/N: SHAKIRA SHAKIRA)

Onnnn the other hand, I have a feeling Allen is about to pop out of the Ark with Kanda wrapped around his throat right onto the Canbell mansion lawn, so there's... that. They'll probably startle the heck out of Lucia. Gonna be good.

-

And there you have it! No big deep symbolism or huge reveals this time around, just some good old character interaction, but I'm pretty sure it's the gasp of breath before the next storm, so you'd better savour it while you can.

Till next time~~

[livelivefastfree]

burner house opinions please agree or disagree: mike is the hufflepuffest hufflepuff to ever huff a puff. texas is so gryffindor he poops baby lions. julie is a slytherin and hates it but she is better at it then anyone else. chuck and dutch are very different ravenclaws and have very different answers to the common room riddles. HOUSE SOLIDARITY TEAM.

HHHHHH OKAY might as well answer this one right after the other one.  This one is rough because I can usually find a reason any given character would be in at least three of the four houses???? Uh....but let’s see, lemme think about it.

......Well I don’t want to repeat myself from my previous post, but Texas is pretty easy.  He would INSIST on being Gryffindor.  He would throw the biggest shitfit if he WASN’T a Gryffindor.  He’d inevitably end up in Gryffindor.  As for the others...

Mike could be Hufflepuff for sure, but he’d also make a pretty damn solid Gryffindor.  Boldness, courage, charging in without thinking to help people, he does definitely tick the boxes.  I’d actually lean slightly more toward Gryffindor?  He’s got the loyal, kind, dedicated part down, but  I mean...”daring, nerve and chivalry” is pretty solidly Mike too.  His defining trait is thoughtless bravery and a reckless desire to do good, and that reads to me as a Gryffindor.

Julie would make a very solid Slytherin, I gotta agree with you on that one.  Determined, ambitious, cautious but also daring when it counts...and a tendency to make friends and do whatever the hell she needs to to keep herself and her friends on top.  *bangs gavel* SOLD.

Alternate left field theory though: Julie “this isn’t fair, i need to fix it” Kane, Julie “I’d do the right thing even if it means hurting myself and working against my father” Kane, goes to hogwarts and gets sorted into fukkin Hufflepuff????!?!  Spends the entire story lying to her dad and saying she got into Slytherin. The strangest Hufflepuff/Slytherin personality combo.

Chuck.....hhhhh, okay, he’s the weird one for me.  Ravenclaw is probably where he would be happiest, for sure.  If I was writing this as a story though, I would sort Mike into Gryffindor and I would very much consider that tiny, 11-year-old Chuck, wanting desperately to be brave, would follow Mike into Gryffindor as well.  That would fit nicely with his plotline about not feeling brave enough to be in the Burners, and how the real nature of his courage is being terrified but going FUCK IT I’M RIDE OR DIE! and plunging in headfirst anyway.  

..............that previous sentence is also why a distant third possibility is Chuck the long-suffering Hufflepuff, loyal to his friends to the detriment of his own mental health, brave because he’s gotta help, not for bravery’s sake.

I’m getting distracted.

Dutch’s literal entire dish is being a free-thinker and doing shit his own way, so yeaaahhhhh, that’s Raveclaw pretty well pegged.  I would love to see Dutch making spells up and doing wild shit and none of the teachers knowing what to do with him, it would be great.

 It’s probably not a coincidence that my fav. character is the one I’m most like “ehhh, WELL.........” on, but hey, you gotta follow ur heart, right.

Alernate version: they all go to some kind of American magic school in the middle of Detroit.  Hogwarts houses are some kind of weird elitist British thing and/or OUR CITY NOW, MAKE UP THE HOUSES, HELL YES.  

.........anyway, there’s some thoughts, do what you will with them.

[captioustroth]

🍺 what's the sweetest thing that's ever happened to you?

Hnnnn.

I distingtly remember this one time there was a terrible storm with lighiting and shit, and, this tiny lil guy deciding the best idea to hide from it was hiding in the darkest place he could find.

So instead, I desided. We gonna make a storm-proof fort. so. we took every blankets and pillow in teh hive nd. Giant storm shelter. Someone inshisted it had to be big enough for me in it. So it was fukkin massive. And we made tea n I read him a book of old myths and heroes from my land til he ended up falling the fuck asleep.

[maliwarm]

angery son!!

YASSSSS, BB!! THANK. I’m always a slut for waxing poetic about Capital K Apostraphe. B)))))

First impression: Me, 14, and with an intense love for Broody Edgelords™: o no he’s hot

Literally, just. He looks cool. Therefore I like him. End of story. :,,,,L

Impression now: This kid. Has been through some shit. He’s been told he’s a clone, then that he’s not. Had all his memories erased and some douchebag’s DNA forcibly transplanted into him by a group of megalomaniacs. Is repeatedly called a fake and a pale imitation of Kyo to his face… And everyone wonders why he’s so fukkin salty all the time, like damn. He’s an amazing, character dealing with all of that complex inner turmoil and more. And although I generally love making characters Suffer as a rule of thumb, I also want K’ to just. Have nice things happen to him… Lord knows he deserves a break. Also, he’s a sunglasses hoarding dork who I love a lot.

Favourite moment: When Krizalid tells him he’s his clone. Just… his reaction fills me with SO many feelings…

Krizalid: And K’, there, is my clone. A product of our technology!

K’: Say what?

Krizalid: You think differently? Remember your parents’ faces? Your childhood…? Can’t do it, can you?

K’ Uh. N-no…

Thinking of how uncertain and lost he must have sounded delivering that last line… My heart just bled for the poor kid. ;-;

Idea for a story: Ohhhh my god I have so many… Well, he (and Maxi and Kula) seems to be working alongside the Ikari Squad these days, so… I’d really like to write about the sibs doing a small-scale (covert?) mission together under Heidern’s orders. I already have some half-baked ideas, but honestly, it’s gonna be a while before I start that one, since I don’t have anything concrete just yet.

Unpopular opinion: Kind of related to the last point but I really, desperately, wish SNKP would explore and expand on his relationship with Whip and/or Seirah. Cuz most of his winning dialogue against Whip across the games is, uh… kinda nasty? Barbed? Strained? But the Wiki says he’s “starting to see her as a sister” so like….. what is the truth?? And the only appearance Seirah - who is his original sister that Whip was cloned from - ever makes is in memories/flashbacks. And in a vision because of a near-death experience in one of the manhwas.

Bonus, because this drives me batty… But I also want him to finally start getting some goddamn closure about his past. He just… seems to have stopped looking for answers sometime after 2001 (or 2003? Because it was vaguely alluded to in that game), and is just drifting aimlessly at the moment. Existing. It’s obviously contributing to his perpetual unhappiness. Like… I know we won’t ever get any answers tho since SNKP is hellbent on keeping their popular broody character in the roster. But still. PLEASE just give the poor kid even a TINY bit more of his memory back. Let him have some sliver of happiness p l e a s e.

Favourite relationship: Like in general? Definitely Maxima. He’s K’s best friend, his partner in crime, and pseudo dad/uncle/guardian figure (even if the big guy vehemently denies it), and Designated Handler of Conversations Because K’s Skill Level in Such Matters is That of a Brick… all wrapped into one big, jovial package. I just love seeing their interactions in general, cuz they give each other shit (“I was just thinking you ate too much, got fat, and got a new suit made… But it’s not bad, actually.” - K’ @ Maxi / “If that wasn’t you going easy on me just now, partner, then you’re getting too careless.” - Maxi @ K’), but they also genuinely care for one another’s wellbeing.

But if we’re talking in terms of romance? Hmmm… He’s not all that close with many people - and doesn’t seem very, if at all, touchy-feely - but I would have to say either Kula or Shingo. Both are veritable balls of excitable sunshine; perfect to coax him outta his grumpy shell. Tbh tho, I’d just be happy for a Shingo and K’ friendship? It would be awkward (because of Grumbles and his lack of ppl skills) but kinda cute. He might finally learn how to chill out and have fun, and Shingo could potentially get a new teacher/sparring partner!! :0c

Favourite headcanon: He secretly really likes it when people run fingers through his hair. Because it feels nice, with the added bonus of being guaranteed to lull him to sleep if he’s laying on someone. :3c

[b3lch]

This like 10 year old came into work and his friend/sibling/whatever hung out front with this Tiny Pup they had and I asked the kid to give Tessa (the pup) a pat on the head for me and that was literally the first thing he did when he got out front

That was so fukkin nice of him jeez

[captain-ezri-dax]

hope ur fukkin ready for this one babe(i love u and im sorry): inquisition asks for Nova, the good twin

Blackwall
1. Did they suspect his true identity at all? Were they taken by surprise when he revealed himself? - likely suspected a little something was off but didn't expect the full extent, so was surprised ye2. What did they choose to do with him and how did they feel about their choice? Were they guilty about leaving him in cell, if they choose to do so? - would consult with Caim since Caim spends more time with him, but she'd wanna give him to the wardens3. Did their treatment of Blackwall change after discovering who he was? If yes, how so? - was a little more suspicious of him but knew he's sincere in wanting to make up for it, so would let him be4. How close was your inquisitor to Blackwall? What drew your Inquisitor to him or away from him? - not very but didn't dislike him, nothing drew her to or from him they just don't spend a lot of time together 5. Did they remain in contact with him after the events of Trespasser? - vaguely maybe, she'd have him as her contact in the wardens for the inquisition Solas
1. Did your Inquisitor engage Solas academically with questions or were they uninterested in his experiences? - definitely talked about his experiences & got along with him well because of it, she's very interested in the fade & the veil2. Did they agree with his opinions about spirits, that they were friends and trustworthy? If not, what did your inquisitor believe instead? - she didn't at first but her opinion probably changers, especially if her tiny marks let her consciously enter her dreams3. If your inquisitor was told they were “unlike others of their race” by Solas, how did they respond? Were they angry or grateful? - probably pretty pissed tbh, especially bc that's just how she is & how she grew up, and where she grew up made her how she is now? So she is like others of her race 4. Did your Inquisitor think of Solas as Fen’harel or did they continue to think of him as their companion, a friend, if he was one to them, even after discovering who he was? - definitely thought more of him as Fen’harel, especially after learning he has spies in the inquisition 5. What did they choose, stop Solas or attempt to redeem him, and what motivated their choice? Fear? Love? - she’d choose to stop him even if Caim wanted to redeem him, is very afraid & angry & vengeful especially after Caim loses his armSera
1. What did your Inquisitor think about the Red Jenny organization? Did they choose to be apart of it? - I imagine she's probably pretty impressed by it? At the least she's glad that there's someone out there looking out for the little people. Might not be part of it but does lend Sera and other Jennies equipment and shit they might need, tho not officially2. Did your Inquisitor see Sera as troublesome or simply fun-loving? Did they join in for her pranks? - both, honestly. Thought Sera is fun loving but could potentially cause trouble, so she gave her the room in the inn so an inquisition agent is always nearby and if she wants to cause real problems, can be minimised 3. How did your Inquisitor respond to the truth of Sera’s childhood (the cookie scene), if they received it? Did they empathize? - would empathise a little, tho her own experiences are v different & is hard for her to imagine what it felt like4. Did the Inquisitor attempt to stick up for the little people, like Sera, or did they have other goals? If so, what were their other goals? - probably too busy to actively try sticking up for them, but would give Sera resources and do the red Jenny war table missions5. Did your Inquisitor respond well to Sera and seek her company or avoid her? - didn't dislike Sera and certainly would spend time with her, but wouldn't seek her out a lotCole
1. Before Cole’s personal mission, how did your Inquisitor feel about him? Were they comfortable or uncomfortable around him? - pretty comfortable around him, tho some of his comments would definitely make her uneasy, especially if it's about magic 2. What did your Inquisitor think of Cole’s ability to see into people’s thoughts? - probably creeped her out quite a lot, would think dumb things to see if Cole would respond to it3. Was Cole made more human or more spirit and why did your Inquisitor choose what they did? - more human probably, both bc she was interested in what would happen & believed it'd be better for him4. Did your Inquisitor become friends with Cole? Did Cole leave the Inquisition at any point, due to conflict with your Inquisitor? - probably were kinda good friends & would get along well wth him, never left the inquisition 5. How would you describe your Inquisitor’s relationship with cole? Non-existent? Or a relationship like that of siblings? - neither? Were just friends Iron Bull
1. Was your Inquisitor wary of Bull upon learning he was a spy? - extremely so, to the point where she doesn't interact with him until/if Caim assures her that he's good2. How did your Inquisitor react to the Chargers? Did they utilize them as allies or leave them to Bull? - would Utilize the chargers for sure, are useful to have around & she rly likes Krem3. Did your Inquisitor prefer to talk things out instead of force? Did they clash with Bull in that way? - well, considering she literally isn't a fighter & her canon has her staying at skyhold//4. Did they choose the chargers or the Qunari alliance? If they condemned the Chargers to death, how did they feel? - definitely chose the chargers, wouldn't trust a qunari alliance as far as she can throw Bull 5. Was Iron Bull a valuable member of the Inquisition to your Inquisitor? Did they speak to him often? - depends on if Caim likes having him around or not tbhVivienne
1. Did your Inquisitor share Vivienne’s views on the circle of magi or disagree and why? - definitely didn't, her experience with magic is totally different so would totally disagree2. Did your inquisitor view The Game as worthwhile or did they detest court intrigue? How did that affect their relationship with Vivienne? - despite being part of it & being pretty good at it, probably doesn't rly enjoy it3. Did the feelings of your Inquisitor towards Vivienne change at all after completing her personal mission about Duke Bastian, if yes, in what way? - I havee. Never done her personal quest4. Was Vivienne ever considered a candidate for Divine by your Inquisitor? Why was, or why wasn’t, she made Divine by your Inquisitor? - probably not, was eager that Leliana become divine instead & didn't want Vivienne’s views on the circle to be given action 5. How did your Inquisitor feel about Vivienne? Friends? Allies? Rivals? - colleagues, maybe?Varric
1. Was your Inquisitor’s relationship with Varric like that of Varric’s relationship with Hawke? Was it better? Worse? - not quite like that of Hawke but got along with him well enough, liked his stories & playing wicked grace 2. How did your Inquisitor feel about Varric’s situation with Bianca? Who did they decide was right about what Bianca did? - didn't rly voice her opinions on his relationship with Bianca but would definitely think they're both in the wrong, him for giving it out in the first place and her for being careless3. Did your Inquisitor approve of Varric’s stories? Did they read any of his books? - loved his stories 4. Did your Inquisitor try to dissuade Varric from believing that they were the herald of Andraste or did they encourage it? - well, she isn't the Herald so that's up to Caim5. Did your Inquisitor leave Hawke in the fade or save Hawke? How did that affect their relationship with Varric? - again, this is probably a Caim decision since she's not one to go into combatDorian
1. How does your Inquisitor feel about Tevinter? Did Dorian change their feelings at all about the Imperium? - doesn't like Tevinter in the slightest & started out distrusting Dorian because of it, tho their relationship improves 2. How did your Inquisitor feel about the Necromancy specialization? Were they intrigued? Disgusted? - intrigued probably, tho wouldn't be too eager to learn about it cause she wants the dead to be able to rest3. Did your Inquisitor attempt to have Dorian speak to his father or not? Does your Inquisitor relate to Dorian in terms of struggles with family or sexuality? - doesn't relate to him cause I think she's straight, but keeps him away from his father since Dorian is obviously upset & uncomfortable 4. Was Dorian a good companion for your Inquisitor? Was there any personality clash between them? - definitely a lot of personality clash because of his views on Slavery & the like, but they'd get along well enough 5. Did your Inquisitor agree with Dorian’s decision to return to Tevinter? How did they feel about his choice? - did agree and hoped that he'd be a positive changing force there Cassandra
1. Was your Inquisitor Andrastian? Did their religious beliefs affect their relationship with Cassandra? - not in the slightest lmao, she'd leave any conversation that might take a turn for the religious 2. What was Cassandra’s role in the Inquisition to your Inquisitor? Was she a crucial friend/ally or an unnecessary soldier? - I think her brother is gonna romance her, so she's glad to have Cass around. Was a good friend too 3. Did your Inquisitor push Cassandra to rebuild or abandon the Seekers of Truth? Why? - probably rebuild, hoping they'd become another positive force4. Did your Inquisitor agree with Cassandra’s vision for the Chantry? Did they choose her as Divine? - absoltuely not, she disagrees with most of what the chantry is5. Does your Inquisitor know all of her middle names? - she has like 500 middles names I mean c’monThis took. A while lmao, but let me know if u want me to do the romance ones too
