"even if he's the worst version of all the calebs from then to now, you still want him?"
lvl 51 affinity call — i still think about this call a lot not just because i have nightmares often too and i definitely would have called him too LMAO 😭 but because. this line... there's something so heartfelt about this exchange that i just 😭 my heart feels like it's twisting but /pos 😭
you can just. you can see how much he always wants to do for her, how much he's always wanted to do for her, even through everything that he has been doing already. bec he's been doing a lot!! so much!! it's how he's been trying to show love bc that's how it used to be!!
yet... the reality remains that things aren't how they used to be. and then he calls the him now the "worst version".
he knows. he knows that the person he is in the present isn't the person she's always had in the back of her mind, isn't the person she's familiar with, isn't the person she's the most fond of... is the person that has hurt her. he knows that she's been sensitive about the way he's been doing things, knows that sometimes the things he does doesn't make her happy.... and i think he really just... he sees it, you know? it's not something he just notices and then does nothing about... he's aware. aware that, making her happy, taking care of her like he used to... he doesn't know how to do it properly, doesn't know if he even can anymore. things are different this time. he's still learning to come to terms with that... still trying to deal with the struggles of presenting this whole self that he's very much aware of—without hurting her this time. and i think that a lot of the times :( like in this call :( he just really wants a certain reassurance from mc that he's doing something a little better...........
:( just :( the vulnerability jumps out so much here :( i really want to give him the biggest hug :(

it's such a myth callback... :( he makes me so ill i'm so sick to my stomach 😭 (/pos)

God the soriel scene. Why can people acknowledge that it was BOTH an irresponsible decision and kris and susie have a right to be upset about it, AND that toriel has the right to move on with sans AND that that she is like a.. hundred times better parent than asgore despite her failings.
Toriel can have failings as a parent without being completely shitty.
(Asgore on the other hand... fucking yikes. I'd respect him a million times more if he was going after rudy, a married man, rather than repeatedly going after his ex like GET AWAY FROM HERRRRR, the only benefit of sans and toriel getting drunk at her house rather than at sans's is that it means that asgore might visit and sans might open the door for him. Hopefully, that will be enough to get it through asgore's skull. I used to sympathise with financial situation, but now i wonder if it's actually brought on by his obsession to get back to "normal," leading him to neglect moving on and taking care of himself)
Sorry for the asgore paragraph. Anyway, I need to see an awkward breakfast scene between her, sans and kris as she tries to smoothe things over and try to properly introduce sans while kris is trying to get out of the door as fast as possible.
Also, we gotta admit the soriel scene is cute. Someone compared it to the lalondes' drinking scenes in the homestuck and think that's important. It's cute and joyful, which makes it hurt a little more (im not wording this right, but hopefully it makes sense? Like, i wanna be happy for her but also ouch. Its the right mix of clashing emotions)
Anyway sans. I support toriel liking him but it has made him too confident. He needs to be bullied by teenagers.
And on a final note, toriel being much taller than sans is wonderful and needed. I keep seeing art that makes lanino much taller than elnina and it gives me the ick. I'm so glad Toriel is so much taller than sans, we need that.
DUDE EXACTLY like yea i 100% agree that not watching how much you drink and getting super drunk when you got kids coming back later that night absolutely wasn't a responsible thing to do (i don't exactly blame her for not calling kris considering this is what. the third time they've gone out to hang with friends via suddenly disappearing and being out of reach. but it still should've been a safe bet that they're coming back at the end of the day) and whether or not that's a consistent pattern of behavior SHOULD be discussed. or even how kris's disappointment might be rooted in how just how fast their whole life is shifting around (especially with a guy that just moved into town) considering the theming of chapters 3 and 4. but some people's criticism of her in that scene is absolutely rooted in the idea that asgore is still entitled to her just because he wants her back and really any mention of "asgore is better/she should've stayed with him" is what gets me the most. she literally could not make it more clear that she's not interested! kris is allowed to be upset and uncomfortable with how quickly and messily their family's dynamics are changing just as much as toriel is allowed to want to move on! let that 6'8 woman hang out with her short ass boyfriend

Hey I'm fucking tired of people complaining that WL is too different to the other series's. So what. What happened to leaving nice comments on the videos because other people were already being rude to people in the group. I'm sorry that it ain't giving you the narrative drama you seem to think they owe you. It's Minecraft and they're having fun. Fuck off

I've finally got the time and energy to carry on with the rewrite and I am... stuck.
I've reached the part where I need to make the kiss obvious now, Zuri can't skirt around it anymore. Not in her own head, at least💀
The problem is, the body language that Zuri and Bobby exhibit is important to the dialogue they exchange and the kiss (especially since I'm writing around the "unwanted kiss" version in the books, I'll go into detail about that a bit in the tags) but a full on flashback isn't going to work with the way I've already written this.
So... do I just keep the dialogue and leave the details out and up to imagination? Or do I keep them by having the memory be in italics and split up between her current thoughts + anything else happening around her?
#the way the unwanted kiss is in the books is a little...hm#just the words “unwanted kiss” puts it in a weird territory#and makes the detective kissing back seem...hm#but I've found a way to work with it and have it make sense for zuri#by now it's obvious that they have a lot of history#and they did have some good times before everything went to shit#bobby is gonna use that of course - and he's going to use a detail she shared in a tmi type of conversation they had#while they were...partaking in something that lowered their inhibitions lol#with the motive of hitting zuri in the “you're special” soft/weak spot he knows she has#it usually wouldn't work coming from him because she knows his game#but this is after days of adam telling her that he's around her mostly because its his job#and right after overhearing him telling nate - someone he is obviously very close to#someone that she assumes he has no reason to lie to or hide things from - that he doesn't have any type of feelings for her#and it bothers her more than she'd ever admit at this point - it stings and she doesn't like that it does#she to a certain extent knows that it's a lie#but it planted seeds of doubt around the interactions they've had where she did seem to matter to him beyond being someone he has to protec#so... kissing bobby is going to be more of a temporary lapse in judgement than something she initiates or encourages or anything#but she does kiss him back for a bit - thanks to her classic 'find comfort in someone' coping mechanism#but it's not all that comfortable because it's coming from bobby and in the back of her mind she knows he isn't being entirely genuine#but it soothes the sting a little - until the alarm bells move to the front of her mind and she stops#so how do I convey ALL THAT without it pulling people out of the story? I'm leaning towards the latter#but any input would be super helpful🥺#chichi.txt

I genuinely think the only people even slightly surprised by Caterina naming Lucanis as her heir were Illario and Lucanis. Lucanis from what we see and hear is more skilled (or at least puts in more visible effort, and at the level these two are aiming for not being seen to make an effort isn't all that much better than being seen as incompetent; the First Talon has actual work to do, it's not a figurehead position that can just be filled by a pretty face and a silver tongue), better respected (and no, there's no actual evidence that that's because of anyone sabotaging Illario's reputation or the Crows looking down on people using seduction; I think the Crows just generally value action over words), and just in every way except maybe charm seems to be the better choice out of the two of them. There's a reason why Wigmaker Job, which sets up this conflict, also shows Lucanis doing the planning and prep work (including finding secret ways through the city and making allies with useful skills and knowledge—hey, what was that about Illario being "the charming one"...? This combined with Lucanis seeming to be better liked and respected among the Crows really does feel to me like Illario's better at superficial charm used on strangers or acquaintances while Lucanis is better at winning a level of loyalty and trust from proper allies, the latter of which is more useful for a leader—to help him get close to the target) and thinking of the future (see things like him paying off the innkeeper who likely leaked their location so she and anyone she tells about this will be more likely to back the Crows over the Venatori in the future, a point that Illario didn't think of) and handling the vast majority of the killing and dealing with the abominations after while Illario mostly complains and follows Lucanis's orders! I genuinely don't see how anyone comes away from that story (which is the only direct comparison of the two of them at work that we get and so all we really have to go on regarding their individual skills as Crows) thinking Illario's the better choice! Gang please, don't read a book from a series known for Books That Lie To You (well in-universe book excerpts mostly, the codex lying to you my beloved, but you know what I mean) and come away just assuming that the things the characters say out loud are the truth over what their actions show. Lucanis having a heart emphatically is not a dealbreaker for him being the better choice for Talon (see: Teia, and also the dialogue between her and Viago after the servants are killed in Eight Little Talons which makes it clear that a given Crow's opinions on collateral damage and level of effort to avoid it are generally considered a matter of personal taste rather than something to really be judged) and... yeah, keeping that in mind there really isn't anything suggesting Illario would be the better choice.
Lucanis isn't perfect and Caterina absolutely should be training him specifically as First Talon (it's also entirely possible there are better options elsewhere in House Dellamorte that she isn't considering because of the nepotism angle), but he is better than Illario. In fact I firmly believe that Illario only had any reason to believe he was even being considered for First Talon because... he's Caterina's grandson and she's favouring her own family over unrelated Crows. But that's what makes me want to dissect him in a lab, because he's aware that favouritism is playing a part in the selection process—note that I'm not saying Caterina doesn't prefer Lucanis, just that he is objectively the better choice outside of that; sometimes the favourite legitimately is the better option—but doesn't seem to have any awareness that he is... also benefiting from that. And quite possibly benefiting more than Lucanis is! There's just something so tasty in Illario complaining about the thing that is also as far as we see the only thing putting him in the running, and that's assuming he was in the running and isn't just... assuming Caterina would favour him as her grandson.
#dragon age veilguard#i think people (including illario!) get so caught up in underdog stories that they sometimes forget:#sometimes the underdog is the underdog because they simply are not as good#COULD illario be just as good as lucanis? quite possibly. IS he? no#is he TRYING to be? honestly to me it doesn't look like it#he's either legitimately not as good as lucanis or he's not trying and either way he's not getting the job over lucanis#even if he just needs encouragement to be just as good as lucanis caterina's not going to name a weak leader heir#just because he MIGHT prove to be good at it at some point in the future with significantly more work than lucanis needs at this point#it's not actually just a sign of her favour y'know! it's a job! where they'll have to do work!#if she has no reason to think illario is the better choice NOW she's not going to name him her heir!#(also seriously the whole thing is such a dramatic reaction to lucanis being named HEIR. dude you know she can change her mind right)#(you do in fact still have a chance to prove you're the better choice WITHOUT making lucanis refuse it out of hand or killing him)#i find the discussion of their dynamic much more interesting when illario isn't treated as a poor victim of caterina's favouritism too#like have we considered that based on what we actually see (not just what illario says) lucanis does in fact seem to be better#the question of how much of it is caterina's favouritism making lucanis better vs lucanis being favoured because he's better is to me#so much more engaging than either 'poor illario would be the best ever if only caterina didn't unfairly favour lucanis'#or the flip side of 'clearly illario is just the absolute worst at everything' (which tbh is an insult to BOTH cousins because#illario DOES have areas that he's legitimately better in and lucanis doesn't need him to be incompetent to be the better choice)#maybe i'm just annoyed about people insisting illario would be the better choice based... pretty much solely on him SAYING he would be#gang do we maybe think the guy working with the venatori is lying to himself to avoid admitting how badly he's fucked up#do we think maybe illario doesn't want to acknowledge that he's made a huge mistake and so has to insist he's the right choice#lucanis also says illario would be the better choice but he's still objectively wrong and also loves his cousin like. a LOT#enough to not kill him for trying to have him MURDERED BY VENATORI#enough to refuse to acknowledge that illario had by far the best opportunity and motive to betray him until it's undeniable that it was him#i think maybe he's not the most unbiased source either?#i'm done rambling now. tl;dr lucanis is by all evidence the better choice for talon and the only people saying otherwise are very biased

I would have more sympathy for people complaining about "Damian being treated as Bruce's only real child because they are related by blood" if Damian didn't literally spent probably over 75% of his existence doing something far away from his father while Bruce doesn't even comment on the fact that he hasn't seen his son in months and has no idea what he's doing.

Thinking about the fact that they had Maron be the saytr that brought Will to camp-
THEN WENT AND GAVE HIM A NYMPH GIRLFRIEND NAMED NAOMI?? I KNOW IT'S LIKE A ACTIVE GREEK NAME AND ALL BUT??? 😭
Idk if he keeps any contact with Will though. Cause I never thought he actually did any Protector stuff in awhile?? Maybe he was just in the area but idk hdfd
But, he just doesn't seem to be as close to any demigods as Grover and Couch Hedge. The cloven counsel in general always felt separate from over satyrs in duties.
But if he did keep in touch with Will, I'm just imagine how awkward it is to have your old protector have a gf with the same name as your mom fsgsg.
Like-common name probably and all, but it's still funny to imagine.
Poor Will XD

and shout-out to weepe's guards! competent enough to move quicker than kozma's people, strong enough to overpower them despite being outnumbered, and seemingly didn't even blink at not just killing other people but at doing it with horrific weaponized tearror-blood. weepe found these guys in the fucking TRUST?

If there's one thing I've learnt from this week's episode of Found, it's that there is something we are missing about "Sir's" character (and I need to know what it is).
