OKAY THIS TIME I AM SENDING QUEEN YHARNAM YHARNAM YHARNAM IT’S YHARNAM OKAY LIKE THE SCREAMING BLOOD LADY IN A WHITE DRESS 🩸🩸🩸🩸🤱🏼🤱🏼🤱🏼👩🏻‍🦳👩🏻‍🦳💀💀

(Sorry I had to lmao)

(From this ( x ) ask meme)

First impression: Honestly, again, it was in PS4-less times, and so I learned of Annalise through wikias... I thought it was a quite uncommon design for a vampire queen concept, yet at the same time, it felt right like nothing else-

Okay OKAY fine, this internal joke is overstaying its welcome xD

First impression: Oooooh, she is pretty! …that's it, really x) I did not even know she had a boss battle until much later. o_o"

Impression now: She is a really badass person, holy shit! Just... Just how COOL is she, kicking our ass in wedding dress, while being pregnant, and cackling like a maniac while sending projectiles of her own blood at us???? Like you know those memes and takes along the lines of 'stop acting like femininity is synonymous with weakness, look at Princess P3ach kicking your ass with feminine attributes'? Fuckin do the same shit with Queen Yharnam! Please!!! And she has a great potential, as ancestor of what are now Vilebloods and affiliate with cursed Pthumerian faction that apparently mingled with the divine not in the same way as Isz and Choir x)

Favorite moment: Her just standing there (menacingly) and weeping because Wet Nurse stole her baby! She is just so broken... There is a cut content where you could give Yharnam's Stone to Fishing Hamlet priest, and he'd point out that mother's devotion could still be felt there.

Idea for a story: Damn, the problem with her is that her prime is LONG in the past in the game's world. Not even in the same way as pre-Church Byrgenwerth or 'omg Maria and other vilebloods when they were babies :3', like... WAY too long ago. Pthumerians deserve an official comic about their culture, past and downfall entirely. However, I speculate that she had to be revived by the School of Mensis to take the cord from her; Mergo and her are basically one organism, you might have noticed they fused with her womb, hence there is no astral body besides that cord, only voice. And, well, it'd be interesting to go into this idea, elaborate how they did that, how hard was the fight with her, how many hunters died x) Maybe Queen Killer was involved into helping to get THAT far in the dungeons.. (and left there to die after expiring his use, of course. Classic.)

Unpopular opinion: I don't think her spouse is Oedon! The spouse figure appears to be a person that gets married in an unholy ritual; Queen Yharnam is wearing Ring of Betrothal, and with the same ring we can propose to Annalise - as both male OR female hunter! Oedon is the priest marrying the two, if anything (with likely a bad outcome for the "husband" side one way or another). Oedon can cause Celestial Larvae same as Flora (Ebrietas is called 'bastard of the moon' in game files), but it appears that Mergo and whatever baby Annalise could have are different entity, whether conceived by Oedon's blessing or not. In either case, actual spouse of Yharnam was someone else, and perhaps something bad happened to them!

Favorite relationship: Haha, well, there isn't much to do, is there…? However, I can see the potential of her and Wet Nurse being EXes! xD I am still deciding on what exactly Wet Nurse is, however, she is quite TOO Pthumerian-appearing to be just an external Great One… On the other hand, Wet Nurse notably has no blood, and Oedon IS said to have lost a child too… And Oedon's true nature IS within the blood, especially "dirty" one like Vileblods', so maybe! Maybe Wet Nurse was the one carrying Oedon's baby, that was lost because of whatever happened with Wet Nurse that made her lose blood. My draft idea is that she set herself on fire / sacrificed her blood / etc to grant Pthumeru Ihyll branch their bloody-pyromancy powers (not the same kind as Loran Clerics' magic!), so they could protect themselves from the beasthood, but seeing how mortals repeated their mistakes, Wet Nurse turned on them and took the baby! She keeps Mergo as surrogate and "what is hers", but also out of spite, because nourishing them (she IS a wet nurse, heheh!) nourishes the Nightmare itself, so, the Hell. And Yharnam just can't convince her EX bestie/gf/etc to come to her senses! AAAAAA THE DRAMA!!!!!!

Favorite headcanon: Basically everything I've just written. xD It is very hard to choose anything because in general, her backstory is so mysterious that it is ALL for you to work on.

This can definitely be a hard pill to swallow at times

finally at that age where i'm thinking i should get a tattoo. not bc i feel strongly about it, just seems like a waste not to. i've got so much skin i'm not using

One trope that i find weird is that during batfam reconciliation fics, the batfam members use alfred as like the big red button to bring jason back, but i feel like that wouldn't actually work. at all.

Jason would HATE alfred after everything he did after he died. Canonically, it was alfred that made the "a good soldier" memorial case, bruce wanted it down but alfred insisted he keep it up, he was the one that gave tim the Robin suit THAT JASON DIED IN, and drove him to save batman and nightwing with NO training at all. He also helped keep up all the "jason was always doomed for a life of crime, and he was an angry child that got himself killed" narrative that was spun after DitF. Alfred pennyworth is batman's biggest enabler, and has stood by while bruce did all his bullshit, such as the whole UtRH arc, and RHatO #25, where he said that it was inevitable that jason would go back on the whole no killing agreement.

Alfred may care for all of Bruce's children, but his only grandchild is damian, as shown when he made him robin behind tim's back( the whole "dick made damian robin" thing is just to add to tim angst. Dick was infact against that whole shitshow). If it doesn't benefit bruce, his pseudo son/employer and landlord, he wouldn't give a fuck.

It's basically impossible to write a reconciliation fic at all without completely rewriting characters, especially jason and alfred. Jason believes that batman's mission is flawed and useless since he doesn't permanently stop crime, so he'd never fully give up killing, the whole reason there's a rift between him and bruce, and alfred isn't this doting grandfather that always sides with his grandchildren and bakes cookies and makes tea.

Also, one major thing the fandom forgets is that alfred is canonically a shitty father to julia, his bio daughter. He abandoned his own daughter for the waynes, he'd never prioritise bruce's children over him.

Sometimes annoying your bratty husband with silly gifts will cause him to bluescreen unintentionally. It's fine, though. Just take advantage of his touch starvation with cuddles to override the issue. Any biting and hissing that follows is totally normal. You may then proceed with your usual goofy antics of sticking tape onto the end of his tail when he's not looking, no doubt leading to the massacre of half your followers. :]

Anyway.

I can't be the only one convinced that Narinder hates having stuff around his wrists after finally being freed. I Can Not.

[cannibalisticskittles]

it will truly never not be funny the extent to which astarion Does Not Plan.

we're going to seize power from the absolute's cult! how? well... they'll cross that bridge when they get there. a solution will probably become obvious eventually, right? whatever, who cares about the details.

we're going to kill cazador! how? aha, he's thought about this; he's going to collect information! and how is he going to do that and make sure he gets all of the information he needs? well....... they'll probably find things out by asking around, right? that part isn't as important, don't worry about it.

even with the bite -- buddy. pal. what were you planning to do if you had successfully bitten a party member without anyone noticing. when they wake up the next morning, they're going to notice the bite marks and how sluggish they feel.

astarion can think one step ahead max and that's where the ball stops rolling.

I think the comedy of Red Hood and Matches Malone both being known criminals is underutilized. I need fics where they are both working a job "together" but both are perfectly aware they are actually on different sides. They can't say that in front of the other goons without compromising each other's identity though.

So like they are both part of the same heist team. Jason has to figure out if Bruce is here to sabotage the mission or is just intel gathering. (It is actually a secret third thing: father son bonding.)

The whole "breasts shouldn't be politicized because the primary purpose of breasts is to feed babies!" can be a fine jumping-off point, but I really wish people thought deeper than that when we talk about the ways in which bodies are politicized and restricted.

Like, why's it that when we talk about breasts, they must have some Higher Purpose? It's true that breasts aren't inherently sexual, but they aren't valuable solely because they can potentially feed a baby. A human body doesn't have to serve a Higher Purpose in order for it to not be legislated against or policed, and I just wish people would remember it isn't always about babies, about other people, about anything else other than the people who have that body.

On one hand, I think that Kiyi is actually a wonderful idea for a character; you can get a lot of interesting stories out of inserting this innocent, guiless little girl into such a fraught & complex pre-existing family dynamic.

However, some mind-numbingly bad storytelling decisions surround Kiyi's existence in canon. Ursa's magical amnesia chief among them; it is so goddamm boring to take a character with as much baggage to chew on as Ursa has, only to make it so she has to grapple with literally none of it.

No Ursa looking at baby Kiyi & mourning for the two babies she was forced to leave behind, grieving children who are still alive. No Ursa looking at Kiyi grow up & seeing Zuko & Azula in her, equally as happy as she is afraid for her. No Ursa trying to give Kiyi as normal & happy a childhood as she can, while constantly looking over her own shoulder, praying that she won't be recognized. No Ursa hearing wild rumors about her older children's whereabouts & actions, not knowing what to believe.

No, instead of any of that, we just get Ursa becoming a blank slate who can now go off & live a blissfully ignorant happily ever after with her (equally blank) high school sweetheart, forgetting the very children whom she risked everything for in the first place. And that sucks.

Also, if I were writing Kiyi, I'd just say fuck it & make her Ozai's kid. That's a thousand times more interesting.

I’m glad that he didn’t, but could you imagine if Horikoshi had written it to where Toga also had a crush on Shoto? How annoyed Dabi would be all the time at him being mentioned?

Toga: “Shoto is so cool.”

Dabi: “No he isn’t.”

Toga: “I wanna stab him.”

Dabi: “We can agree on that.”

You know what I think is wasted potential? Gwaine and Lancelot being a comedic duo. Think about it, they're in so many ways opposite but they have the same core of loyalty and courage.

Lancelot's chivalry and goodie two shoes behaviour and Gwaine's disrespect and drinking on the job. 🤝
