sorry my head is bursting w thoughts i am so obsessed w the ending bit of season three's tabula rasa and how aaron and spencer have a long drive back home.

and i know nothing about american geography so i have no idea how far they are from quantico but im OBSESSED with the idea of roadtrip aaron and spencer. like are they listening to music? or the radio? or an audio book? and who plays what? do they chat the whole way or does spencer finally have an uninterrupted amount of time to ramble to aaron and aarons always loved listening so he lets him talk? what food do they stop and get? do they swap drivers if one of them is sleepy? like the possibilities are endless and i now wanna write a fic about it but i can't figure out what they'd do on their roadtrip home.

no but at some point i NEED to see buck say something that takes tommy’s breath away; literally causes tommy to gasp softly and forget how to speak for a solid minute.

Tommy: …

Buck: …

Tommy: …

Buck, for no reason other than audacity, leans over and whispers in Tommy’s ear: I want to taste every inch of you.

and Tommy is just Error 404.

Feral thoughts today about collars and cuffs and the cuffs having the shortest chain looped through the collars o ring. All the possibilities of being teased tickled and tortured while all you can do is whine and wiggle around. Being edged just for them to pull away and fight as you might you just can't reach anywhere near to get yourself off. Muzzle with this so they can taunt you with their or your own wetness through the bars "desperate pet trying to get a taste" having to beg plead whine while not being allowed to use words because your a good pet so it's alot of 🥺🥺🥺

Alternatively, this is an essay, not only on the butterfly effect, but also on how the repressed emotions and lack of emotional maturity of the older generations have consequences on the younger generations as well, who are left to deal with the aftermath of things that they are not responsible of. This can go on and on in a vicious cycle that can be broken only by facing yourself and your peers with honesty and vulnerability. In this essay I will

Hank: Where is everyone? Peter: Intervention. Turns out Wolverine and Magneto were both sleeping with three of the X-Men including the Professor so they're having a meeting about it. Hank: And you are? Peter: Trying very hard to not think about who my dad was fucking.

slight nsfw poll about my most recent fic:

okay so, hypothetically (as in largely dependent on my motivation and how well writing it goes for me) if I were to add a second chapter containing smut, which of the following two scenarios would you like to read most:

1. top Bojan, bottom Kris - basically Bojan wants revenge on Kris for teasing him so much and gets him back for it. this probably makes the most logical sense tbh, however I think I'd kinda struggle writing Bojan as a top because he always ends up being quite submissive in my fics 😶😭 but of course I'm willing to give it a go.

2. bottom Bojan, top Kris - I'd probably write this as Bojan trying to be dominant but ultimately failing, Kris winning back the upper hand and continuing to make Bojan a desperate, whining mess for him.

again, no promises I'll actually write this and post it (cos I might chicken out 😭) it's just if a sudden strike of inspiration hits me, I'll know what I could do with it. or who knows, maybe I'll use the idea for a future fic or something 🥰

also if you have any other suggestions or additional thoughts, I would LOVE to hear about them in the tags :)

ok but i’m completely 100% serious when i say: if/when our dear @motswolo will grace us with Cadence pt. 2, this song NEEDS to be the main event in the Jily wedding. imagine James serenading Lily! his synesthesia going wild! sirius positively shredding on the piano breaks! it’s so perfect 🤩

mot i humbly submit this idea, i think it would be really cool! do with it what you will 🫶🏻

Feeling a bit irky because of physical pain and I'm trying to do research on some stuff. I saw people being ableist about Neve over the past few days, basically calling her disability "ugly" and how she's "not a whole woman". So there's things upcoming about that when I get time between work and setting things up for other job stuff for the year. Today it's about SWTOR and namely, power. Power levels of the protagonist to be precise.

I occasionally browse around the internet since not all swtor update news gets forwarded to me, every now and again I run into topics that annoy me with how short sighted they are (or at times actively racist/sexist/ableist etc). I've got one post planned regarding Koth's character and one for Arcann/Vaylin. But after listening to someone complain about the Traveller from Genshin Impact's power level inconsistencies between what's displayed and what's stuck in a cutscene, it got me thinking to a post I ran into this morning.

Quote:

"I wonder if there is reason why my sith warrior just gets thrown around and gets sh*t thrown at him whilst hes supposed to be on a similar if not higher level of a sith compared to his enemies.

Going through KOTFE/KOTET for the first time and it also happens a bit during the normal campaign but i find it very odd he just keeps dodging these objects thrown at him instead of showing his superiority and blocking it with the force or something a bit more forcey then just dodging.

Im the emperors wrath, i supposedly have no equal as far as i understand it.

Its probably something to do with plotlines etc. but its a bit immersion breaking seeing my chad sith dodge sh*t instead of using the force for a change" Ignoring the 'chad' thing because it's kinda stupid, there's several flaws in the game's design vs player expectation. I haven't played SWTOR since vanilla, I joined during the 4.x period just after Anarchy in Paradise had been released. But I did START in with the vanilla story and progressed until that point and this's where the flaw in the game design comes in. The main issue that the original dev team faced was that the main protagonist grew in political (and to a extent physical) power too quickly. Sith Warrior started on a elevated pedestal to be an apprentice/Lord during the prologue and by the end of the arc in Act 3 they're filling a spot as the Emperor's Wrath which was abandoned by Scourge after he went rogue from the Empire. (Which ironically should have the Empire absolutely buzzing with the news but it's not). Sith Inquisitor starts from either a fallen family if human/sith iirc or is a slave and spends most of the prologue being lucky that their rivals for Zash's apprentice role were picked off long before the main showdown where your brawn and cunning wins over the overseer's favouritism. You go from apprentice to a ambiguous lord and then take over Darth Thanaton's seat by force. Only because it's a kill or be killed situation as you force yourself to be a battery of sorts via ghosts and genetic manipulation. Kinda sorta becoming akin to Vitiate himself but in a different way. Bounty Hunter already has somewhat of a track record, likewise the Agent. However other than optionally becoming a Mandalorian the only 'power gain' so to speak is taking out a Jedi with the help of a companion and either making the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic step down or killing him. The Agent spends most of their story as Cipher Nine until the very end of the third arc and from that point they don't receive any real tangible power. Even if you hand over the black box for freedom from Imperial Intelligence or retain it. Unless power of blackmail is counted. On the other end we have the Jedi Knight who was somewhat of a prodigy. They spent most of the acts being a Knight before being promoted to Master for taking out 'Vitiate' after already being taken over and doing evil acts for a unknown period of time. Jedi Consular is labelled Bar'senthor and a Jedi Master by the end of the first act and is a member of the council at the very end of Act 3. They're gifted and display immense force power pretty often in the cutscenes, particularly during act 1 despite being made 'weaker' as they shield other jedi masters from a force plague.

The trooper is promoted across all acts, including the prologue and makes it to the rank of Major at the start of Act 3 while the smuggler goes from to a privateer to eventually being the Voidwolf themselves. Which doesn't have any impact on things on the story going forward, even if you keep it for yourself. Just stuff regarding Nathema down the line.

The overall level of political or militaristic power gained within 3 years is unusually fast and left the devs in a awkward position going forward. The initial plan WAS to have act 4 continue all class stories separately but it was discovered to be too time consuming and costly to have a whole new line for 8 class stories who were already top of their classes and minimal room for more power gain in their respective spheres. Especially considering the higher up the chain you go the more paperwork, negotiations and being tied to a desk there is. It's not all sunshine and daisies. All 8 class stories had the player character start pretty high in their respective fields either by luck or skill. But in terms of raw power there were very few moments to showcase that within vanilla and even much later. Consular and I think Inquisitor got their little showboat moments but the devs at the time were careful to not display too much otherwise you'd run into a issue where powers in cutscenes didn't match what was being displayed in game. However that hasn't stopped the player base from superimposing their ideas of where the force using characters in particular 'should' be in their power level. So....lets take a number of caveats into account here.

With the exception of certain parts of the prologue chapters, none of the 8 class story characters were ever fighting alone. Even with the original system of companions being locked to certain classes at the time. Vette being dps, Dorne and Quinn being healer etc. There's only been, to my memory, one instance of the player character being 100% alone and that was during chapter 12 of Knights of the Fallen Empire where you have a backpack of healing resources and shields etc.

2. Even if you dismiss your companions to truly fight alone, the game assumes a certain canon in order to follow the story sequence.

3. With flashpoints, gsf, pvp maps, on rails space missions or operations you're fighting with other players on your side or npc crew members. It's still never you on your own.

4. As for choosing dodging instead of showing off power? it's more efficient and means you draw less attention than you would by showboating. A fair whack of KotFE and parts of KotET are supposed to be subterfuge and infiltration, not a full scale battle.

5. Baras and Thanaton were both old and egotistical sith that weren't in the best state of health and WELL past their prime. Vitiate's voice was being hampered by multiple distractions going on despite his threat, Syo as the First Son had to deal with his other consciousness banging at his mental door. Rakton wasn't really geared for a physical fight since he's a tactician and Jun Seros was also getting up there in age as well plus being hampered by emotions and the desire for revenge after the death of his friend at the hands of the Hunter. While Voidwolf was ultimately killed because of his own stupidity and ego. They're not really good measuring sticks to be used for power comparisons, raw or otherwise.

Following from point 5, what needs to be understood is that despite personal head canons, the player character themselves isn't exactly in peak physical condition either as time goes on. This can be from continued service and missions, lingering traumas (JK Rishi story), issues with their own body (Inquisitor story and to an extent Consular) or outside interference (majority of KotFE/ET)

In the case of the Inquisitor story, their body had become so messed up from a combination of genetic manipulation plus sucking up force spirits, that it was literally breaking down around them. The procedure on Belsavis merely stabilized them to enable to further use force walking without consequences, the new power so to speak still has to be actively channeled to be of any use.

It's my theory that whatever time they lost prior to the Mother Machine still remained until Rishi where the Inquisitor was investigating several machines that 'supposedly' extended their life span by one solar cycle each. Using Earth as a rough estimate and a rewatch of the quest, a solar cycle is (roughly) 11 years and Inquisitor gets zapped four times so that's 44 years regained on estimate since I'm not sure if the solar cycle is involving Rishi's sun or some other planet's. But it loosely means those solar cycles regained were simply just the Inquisitor regaining their original lifespan back. Possibly at the cost of some of their power since that's usually the case. Come the Knights arc and onwards the player character's kept on their toes a ton fighting tiring enemies that're all the same and don't suffer the same issues they do. Valkorion's also hollowing them out in the process of helping them (and probably kicked the other force ghosts out for a fresh start). They've got multiple wounds either from a lightsaber or from the repercussions of using force lightning at a extreme intensity that they aren't used to. There's also the fact (even though this's kept off screen) that they're behind a desk more often doing paperwork for the Alliance that they aren't able to actively train or look at expanding their abilities to the extent they normally would, had things been during the first acts. We don't know what Valkorion actually did to them during those 7 years of interference of him being a shoulder gremlin. You're getting kicked around a lot more in story cutscenes because your character is getting older and a certain level of balancing has to be in place to keep things fairly uniform between scenes of force users and tech. This might come to a end if my theory may possibly be correct and thanks to the Nul holocron, all classes open up to one another. Meaning no longer will there be a force/tech wall which may mean more opportunities for new classes depending on how long the story is able to keep going into future arcs besides Hidden Chain and Malgus.

No your character isn't uber powerful, no they aren't god tier. They just essentially got lucky over egotistical, conflicted, old and well out of their prime/element characters. A fancy title doesn't mean you're the most powerful being out there considering the in game canon says you've never fought alone without someone (or multiple people) helping you.

I have the "Wizard and I" from Wicked on my Tails playlist, though I specifically associate it with scu!Tails. I'm imagining it's him when he was looking for Sonic before the second movie. (Of course to say that that whole thing worked out for him better than Elphie would be an understatement. Hm)

I also have "Let me make you proud" from the Tangled tv show, but this one is for Fleetway!Tails. Just the whole thing is like. Whatever he had going on.

again it deeply saddens me that in terms of royalty gossip the average american is only aware of the british royal family. please get on my level.

yeah, i dont really feel anything about the death of ofmd, if im being completely honest, my enjoyment of the canon of this show died a long time ago.

am i sad about what this says about queer media in general? yeah of course- if a show this popular and palatable can get cancelled like that, then no show is safe. but i cant say i personally would have watched a season 3 if it did get it either.

nothings changed for me. im gonna keep enjoying it the exact same way i have been for months, bouncing ideas with my friends, appreciating all the art everyone makes, discussing all the endless possibilities the show gave us from the start.

the show has always belonged to the fans at heart, its just ours entirely now.
