Huge difference between "He's just some guy (neutral)" and "He's just some guy (affectionate)".

Wait... WAIT! Their hair isn't pink!!!

It's not the first time either, such as this other piece here.

This is artwork is still so funny to me. I can imagine it happened during chapter 265 given it's snowing and there were scenes where it was snowing when Yuji was reminiscing about winter when he was a small kid. The art was released yesterday (December 24th), that chapter takes place on December 24th.

so i started this show and it just gets worse and worseeeee not only did it lift the romance subplot directly from twilight (and not well) but they also are trying to play the forbidden love angle hard in the fantasy racism vein except it's a "cross-species" relationship between the two whitest people i've ever seen in my life and there are three people of color in the whole (first season of the) show who aren't villains and it seems that every other episode (and sometimes ebery episode and sometimes twice an episode!) there is a man physically or magically subjugating a woman and i keep waiting for the big reveal at the end to be stolen from fucking rainbow rowell

I started replaying Inquisition in preparation for Veilguard, and fell head-first into loving Varric. I'd always liked him, but I'm more salty than ever that Mary Kirby refused to let him be romancable. Give me my sweet hairy dwarf please!

So I spent two days drawing my Cadash with Varric because I ship them a lot, referenced heavily from a picture of Bruce Lancaster and Yvonne De Carlo (with liberties taken with Cadash's hands. :3)

If I had a quid for every time I hyperfixated on an old ish movie, and started following the instagram of the actor who plays the unhinged strange guy... only to fall down a rabbit hole that involves a complicated history with a prosthetic ear, wifebeating allegations, lots of weed, actually doing some really nice and wholesome charity work, releasing lots of art about his traumatic childhood, and very weird instagram captions...

which ends in me being torn whether or not I should buy his book because I have a love-hate relationship with the guy in general...

I'd have.. £2

Which isn't a lot, but how the fuck did this happen again???

What if Geoff wasn't the nice, chill surfer party dude who had no problems with anyone and was friends with everyone?

No, nobody can be that nice. No teenager can be that okay with every person in the camp. No, Geoff hid it. It was a common tactic he used to get people not constantly pissed at him before (it was just annoying). Pretending to be this dumb party dude fooled everyone into believing he was that because why would you ever question HIS motives? He's just a dumb party dude!

But pretending was so, so hard. You see, he had to pretend he liked these people.

Too hard.

And one day, he slipped up.

Interesting. So Geoff's friendly demeanour and sufer boy energy is all, what, a ruse he uses to portray himself as less of a threat in the competition?

It would be an effective game plan; Geoff makes it pretty far into the game in Island, and a lot of his survivability stems from his social strengths and the fact that he's not really seen as a threat in the competition - he's a lot like Owen in that regard, just less intense with his friendliness. You could have Geoff intentionally imitate a lot of Owen's mannerisms after he notices how generally liked (or at least tolerated) he is, and it'd explain their similarities quite nicely.

It does make me wonder what Geoff would be like underneath his act. Your ask implies that he's, if not entirely misanthropic, then a lot less easygoing and amicable as he's shown to be in canon. Someone easily annoyed by others, who perhaps doesn't really have the patience to deal with a lot of the shenannagins that happen on the show, even if he pretends he does... and even if his whole game plan revolves around maintaining that misconception.

That's not to say that he isn't the Geoff we all know and love from canon. He's still the same person, he's just... not as benign. At least not internally.

You could take inspiration for this Geoff from his portrayal in Action, or maybe even his vindicitiveness from World Tour (against Blaineley, just make that energy universal) to base a lot of his real character on; a Geoff who isn't exactly antagonistic, but has a mean streak and a tendancy to hold grudges. And, of course, he'd keep the same natural charisma canon Geoff has, even if his "himbo charm" is fake.

Then it's just a case of replacing his usual good-natured aloofness with cool apathy, or even a spiteful disrgard of others, and you've got yourself the perfect canvas for a wolf in sheep's clothing.

And he's also got his friendships with the Bass boys - Harold excluded, of course - which, considering Duncan's influence, would be a nice outlet for his less sociable tendencies. A way to let loose without having to expose himself as less good-natured than he lets on.

Bringing it back to Owen, and their shared similarities: Geoff could esaily attach himself to Owen post merge, similarly to how Heather attaches herself to Lindsay, as not only a social buffer (though Geoff doesn't really need one, unlike Heather) but as a sort of pawn in the competition. The "boy's alliance" would be the perfect time to have Geoff try to integrate Owen into his social circle, which is pretty much what happens in canon anyway.

Keeping Owen as close as possible is the most strategically sound move on Geoff's part. The closer he is to Owen, the easier it is to cherry pick what aspects of Owen's personality he's going to imitate. He's also got himself at least one secured vote (in theory, since Owen's known to be easily swayed).

The issue with this?

Geoff finds Owen almost unbearable to be around.

Which is ironic, given that he's conciously and intentionally trying to be as Owen-like as possible, but it's true. He can't understand how anyone can be as unconditionally and authentically cordial as Owen is, and it pisses him off. He has a hard enough time acting friendly and warm around people he doesn't like, but when it comes to doing the same with someone he actively despises?

It's enough to wear his already thin patience down until it snaps.

Every time I hear someone complain about how hard it is to figure out AO3 I get so confused. Do people not know what the words "include" and "exclude" mean? You click on a tag, and you see all the fics for that tag. That's incredibly intuitive.

One of my issues with the bat boys and shadow daddies in general is that I genuinely can't fucking tell them apart in fanart. And adding their canon love interest rarely helps bc they also look very much alike. Is this picture of Rhys and Feyre? Is it Azriel and Elain/Gwyn? Hell, sometimes Cassian's long hair and Nesta's complete badassery doesn't even help. And sometimes it's not even ACOTAR and I've been bamboozled by Xaden and Violet.

I'm on my knees begging for pairs that aren't dark haired men and women with dark blonde/light brown hair.

I should draw my fursona more often

We lost. I know this is devastating to us and it will be for the overall environment of the whole fandom, but PLEASE do not be any worse than the people you don't like and don't agree with.

No one's gonna harass and insult each other over this. At the end of the day this is just a story, so please for goodness sake stay civil.
