#i just think he's such an interesting character

[pinky-the-bunny]

Good excuse to yap about john doe!

I like him cause he's a goofy goober, I hate him because he's a bad dad.

He loves every different sans/papyrus equally, but he does have some favorites.

Again, he's a bad dad.

.....under verse.

It was pathological facade by GHOST, but now I kind of see him with EXORCISM by creep-p (both by the way, are in the official john doe playlist)

NOTHING! LOL (well, maybe that we both like sans?)

He is new so he doesn't have much going on on THAT department. But so far some people just say that he is interesting and fun!

Not in that department yet.

NO!!!

No, because he would possibly kill me if he's bored or something. Lol

No.

Everything I say is canon for him cause I created him, but I will say this: his favourite food is vanilla ice cream.

:) because no matter what he feels, he will always be smiling.

Old fashion goth maybe?

None so far.

None.

None.

More one-sided, but I would LOVE to get into/have people go further with his relationship with dust.

He likes to break lots of papyruses hearts sometimes because he likes to act like sans to them while possessing his corpse...its sad man, and I MADE him.

So far, I really like how he creeps out the outbound bros but they still are nice to him. Lol

I like to showcase how...not normal he is. And I personally think the story is not good but other people like it so...

He has gotten nothing so far from others.

I really like how @mimimuta and @t3m1 draw them. Mostly because those are the only two so far that have drawn him.

He is inspired by cyn soooo.....cyn from murder drones.

I liked him when I made him and I like him to this day. No change really.

He killed everyone because he was bitter they had forgotten about him and dipped. Funny but also tragic.

"How does he feel about other characters other then sans and papyrus?" he admires both toriel and asgore (even if his feelings on asgore are sort of muddy.) likes undyne, hates alphy's, (he sees her as a mock of a replacement for him) and is fascinated with frisk, chara and asriel/flowey. (Both because he thinks their interesting, like with frisk being the player. and because he likes chara and asriel/flowey because of his past relationship with them.)

[svetamillss]

omg I love your writing, can you do one with squid game characters seeing the several bruises on your body that you have been trying to hide pls?

Headcanons: their reaction to your bruises🩵

Featuring: Cho Hyun Ju x Reader(f), Thanos (Su Bong) x Reader(f), Se Mi x Reader(f)

Summary: you studied at the university. And often faced bullying. Many guys humiliated and beat you, which caused you to have bruises that you tried to hide.

A/N: Thank you very much for such a charming order! I hope you liked what I wrote!

🩵🩵🩵

Cho Hyun Ju

You didn't want to tell your girlfriend anything about it, because she had her own problems because of the transition to a girl. That's why you tried to hide all your bruises.

But you couldn't do it forever. After all, you sleep in ordinary pajamas, which opens your skin of your feet and hands well.

And because of this, the following situation occurred.

Ju was already lying in bed when you quickly came running and covered almost with a blanket, it worried her.

- Did something happen, baby? Why did you hide from me? - she asked, looking only at your head, which was looking out of the blanket.

- I'm just cold, don't worry.

- Hmm..but now the weather is hot..and you often started wearing warm clothes. Maybe you're sick??? Then don't cover yourself up so much!! - the girl said excitedly, removing the blanket from you, you tried to stop her, but nothing came out, she defeated you.

Pulling off the blanket, Hyun Ju noticed a lot of bruises on her arms and legs, her face turned pale sharply.

- Baby... Why do you have so many bruises??? - you had no choice but to confess everything.

After your story about being beaten at the university, Hyun Ju got very angry, preparing to deal with your abusers at such a late time, but you barely stopped her.

- No one will dare to touch my baby with a finger. Tomorrow I will go to your university and deal with everything. And I don't care if they look at me askause, I won't let them touch you.

Your favorite girl will definitely deal with your abusers, that there will be no wet place left from them.

Thanos (Su Bong)

In your opinion, the guy was not the one who would worry about the problems of others, even if something happened to loved ones.

That's why you decided not to tell him anything, but just put on clothes with long sleeves so that nothing could be seen.

But you didn't take into account the fact that Su Bong is quite observant and quickly notices changes, especially if they concern you.

You were going to go to the movies. You put on a long-sleeved sweater again, not paying attention to the fact that it was quite hot outside.

- Are you a fool? - he asked rudely, entering the room, seeing how you were dressed.

- What are you talking about?

- Have you seen the weather outside? Why the fuck are you dressed like in winter? Go change your clothes! - he was worried about you, although he showed it in a different way, you decided to take a chance and admit what was going on.

- I can't dress openly yet.

- Why else is that?

And you told him everything, from the beginning to the very end. His face changed with each new word, from neutral to more evil.

- WHAT THE FUCK?! WHY THE FUCK WERE YOU SILENT?! - he shouted, but you understood that he was not shouting at you, but because of the whole situation.

- I thought you wouldn't be interested..

- Fuck! You're completely crazy! How could you think that?! It makes me very angry! That's it! Tomorrow I will go and kill everyone who touched you. I'll do everything so well that they won't suit you anymore. If, of course, they stay alive.

You couldn't refuse him. Although, even if you refused, he would still do his own thing. After all, he loves you very much.

Se Mi

The girl worked very hard, so you didn't want to burden her with your problems.

But Se Mi was very attentive and therefore immediately noticed that you began to wear baggy clothes, although you usually wore more open clothes.

- Honey, have you decided to change your image? - she asked, laughing a little, when she saw you in a huge sweater.

- I just decided to experiment.

- When you lie, your ears turn red. - she said, after which you immediately covered your ears with your hands, realizing that she caught you.

The girl came close to you and said in a stern tone:

- Undress. I have to see what you're hiding from me. - you blushed from her words,but obeyed and showed all your bruises.

The girl gently stroked the places of your bruises, silent for a long time.

- Se Mi?

- Who did it? - you explained everything to her, she was angry, but tried not to show it to you.

- Don't hide it from me anymore. Tomorrow I'll deal with everything and everything will be fine.

Se Mi never throws words to the wind, she will help you cope with everything. She won't care that she's a girl and go deal with the guys, your safety is the main thing for her.

i feel like something that’s not talked about enough in YJ (show) is the amazing plot line of roy (will) being a fucking clone. like oh my god to 13 year old me that was such a fucking plot twist—guarantee if i watched it now it would still be a plot twist to me.

like, wills a clone, he’s handling it terribly (like one would) but he knows he has to find the real roy, he won’t ever stop looking until he finds the real roy. and the heartbreaking part? he’s the only one.

ollie and dinah and dick and basically everyone could not care less about real roy. dick literally said ‘we did the math, we never even met real roy’ and just decided roy wasn’t worth looking for. and, kind of understandably (but also not), ollie gave up. but you know what’s really the worst part? the real icing on the cake? will finds him.

he finds roy.

will has to tell roy that his family, his team, gave up on him. nightwing and artemis and kid flash and them—they’re excused. because why would people who don’t know him look for him? but ollie? dinah? he met them. roy built relationships and partnerships with them and the only person who looked for him was a fucking clone. and not because the clone loved him or missed him, because will had felt guilty for stealing roy’s life.

i’m so sad how that story line kinda fell flat. we could’ve gotten so much more. i wanted to see roy adapting to this, i wanted to see more of will searching for roy. im not even going to lie, i wanted one of them to struggle with addiction. i think roy and wills characters are just so fucking interesting.

imagine a fifth season where real roy meets red hood jason. imagine how well they’d fucking bond. because, i’m not 100% sure but didn’t roy not age? so he’s around jason’s age. and, anyway, you just know those two have so much in common. they both also missed out on so much with being dead and kidnapped. plus, it takes away from the thing most people hate about the jason and roy friendship. in YJ, roy was never friends with dick. dick was friends with will, made it abundantly clear when he stopped looking for roy.

and since YJ’s pretty open to LGBTQ aspects… well i think you know what im implying. i’d be happy either way. jason and roy make good best friends—i really do think they could also make good more than best friends.

so, in conclusion, the roy-will clone storyline was the best fucking thing i’ve ever seen, even if i do wish they expanded on it more. if there’s ever a season five, YJ creators i am begging you make that happen, it’s literally the most incredible opportunity and would be such an amazing friendship (or more than friendship) to develop to show ‘hey real roy’s life isn’t all that shitty!’. of course, as a side plot to the whole wally’s-been-stuck-in-the-speed-force-and-isn’t-actually-dead storyline.

Thoughts on Bloodweave? :0

...Okay, I'll be honest, so far I'm really not seeing it.

For those who don't know, I'm streaming a duo tactician run on my twitch right now, playing as Origins Astarion and romancing Gale, who's my only allowed party-companion. The playthrough has charmed me a lot more to Gale so far, but from a roleplaying perspective I don't find myself wanting to play this in any other way but Astarion using him for his own benefit.

Gale is like... He's too easy please and too eager to impress, he offers very little pushback and he's shockingly bashful. These make for a really interesting character that I'm excited to see more of from a romanced perspective, but not one that jives well with the take I have of Astarion.

Consider, of course, that I have a very extensive fiction that revolves around this man already as he relates to a completely different character and follows a completely different story-path. It could very well be that it's just hard for me to wipe the slate blank and see it from a new perspective. Also, I have been pretty damn disappointed with how nonreactive the companions seem to be to an Origins character. I think if Gale got to have more input on Astarion's storybeats I might potentially have a different opinion.

And of course, the run isn't over yet! I've never seen any of Gale's romance cutscenes in act 3 and maybe he will change my mind by then.

I'm fine with people working through their personal feelings about a thing in a casual space (Erik Phantom and Christine Daaé shippers even when I'm on Team Raoul...Can we agree that Love Never Dies was the best-funded bad fanfiction?) or thinking up apologism for the flattest evil characters (Richard Stirling from If We Were Villains is not, in and of himself, a death that anybody really mourns and that's as it should be even if in my head he looks like Hugh Jackman from 1990.) (Maybe I do mind, but there's definitely spaces for it that I ought to just steer clear of.)

But if it's discussing the source material because of a shared appreciation and interest in the source material, then it is a different sort of enrichment to keep to certain parameters. What's the framework? What's this all even addressing or applicable to?

e.g., A queer reading of Carmilla from somebody who's into that situation mostly as a vicarious fantasy ("oh, nooo pretty girl insinuated herself into my home and keeps on flirting with me, and has dead ex-possibly-lovers but I can change her after I get over my repression and internalized homophobic junk. I mean Laura. Laura can change her...") is not going to be the same as a queer reading of Carmilla that observes the changing social context (originally Carmilla was the sweet and soft pink-girlfriend; most adaptations after that, while making Carmilla and Laura enthusiastically consenting lesbians, also make sure to vamp Carmilla herself up into a sultry mall-goth. I don't automatically hate adaptations that do either of those, but why were those the decisions to change adaptationally? How have coding-shorthand conventions changed, from publication to adaptation?)

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

Friend trying to win your bf over/talking shit behind your back

Characters: isagi, sae, rin, karasu, nagi

Note : I did this for a request but I'll do it with more fandom (genshin and windbreaker), so tell me if anyone want one with a character in particular (hc / one shot...) or another fandom

Tr ver.

m.list | rules

Sae

Sae's not there to be fucked around or around people he loves

So let's just say that your friend looking down on you will only happen once 

He hates the way she interrupts you to talk about her own feelings or point of you to HIM 

Why would he care about someone else? 

"Nobody cares. Go on, Dear."

He's not scared to speak for everyone since he clearly realized she's trying to steal time and space from you specifically 

He's the type to just stop listening to her of answer her – not that he paid much attention before 

It's almost boring how quickly he reacts, but he can't accept someone hurting you when your his everything 

Rin

Same as Sae, he's not open to other people and rarely care about them 

He's less blunt though

He doesn't really like your friend for the start but he'd almost admire her persistence if it wasn't turned against you

He's lost count of how many times he just sighs at her face or side eyes her to death when she's trying to be better than you 

He'll generally put up with it if you can defend yourself but he also turned her down a lot when he's tired of it

He's impressed how quick you shut her up the second she tries to touch him though

He hates it and you can't put up with that, she can try to look down to you in front of your bf but she can't step too close in his personal space

Rin convince you to cut her off after that

Yoichi

Does realize what's she trying to do but LATE 

He really thought for a long time that she was just trying to be included and to get to know what he liked so he wasn't left out

He also told you that you were exaggerating the few first times you mention her attitude 

It honestly put your relationship in danger bc he couldn't get himself to push her away when she got a bit too close to him or he ended up listening to her more than you 

It took his friends to mention her weird attitude around you two, PLUS you yelling him to open his eyes before he finally get to realize she was like this only with him 

And how much she looked down on you on every chance she had 

He's more than quick to turn her down after that and oh gods, he's doing his best to regain your trust

Karasu

He's not buying her overly cute and harmless behavior but still let her a chance 

He also get the chance to understand why you think so low of yourself, with friends like her around 

He's careful around her, staying close to you, paying close attention to you and assuring you that you're doing enough when she tries to push you down 

He's sick to see that she's always trying to get close to him even if he brings every conversation to you, even if you're not here

He push her away before you get the chance to do so, and then insisted for you to cut her from your life 

Nagi 

He's honestly not interested in anyone but you and his few close friends, so let's say it doesn't go the way she wants to 

She can talk to him all she wants, he's not listening, he doesn't even realize it's for him 

He only thinks she's full of herself and boring to be around 

You're probably annoyed and frustrated at first, and you talk to him about it

But when he tells you that he find her so boring you can't help but laugh and let her do so much before cutting her off 

But not before nagi told her himself that she's so boring he wants to leave every time he sees her

Let me know if you liked it !!

When Eileen or whoever Sam's blurry wife is in a throw away line in a fic is pregnant to show that Sam's happy and doing good it kinda revolts me not gonna lie. We're really putting 2.5 kids on whatever woman shaped object is in Sam's love life? And on Sam for that matter? Who, by the end of the show, expressed zero interest in having a little baby and said he felt fulfilled by hunting, despite its downsides.

One of the reasons Sam and Eileen work well together is that they're both hunters and feel able to lean on each other in that regard, and yet pregnancy or motherhood is often the only thing we hear about Eileen in these cases. She's made into an incubator. Is the only vision of happiness she's allowed becoming Mary from the first minute of the Pilot?

Okey, so first of all: the art is amazing, i love it so much i want to chew on it

So this whole Lol vs. Arcane Jayvik comparison thing got me thinking. There is a bunch of "Jayce vs. Giopara" kind of art / headcanon out there and they are always fun, just like the "Jayce on Jayce violence" between the s1 s2 versions.

Buuuut you know what could be also interesting? Viktor vs. his lol counterpart. I did not play the games so I only know his characterisation via fandom discourse but it seems to me that consent is a very important thing for the og tinman. From what I can tell, the glorious evolution is only for willing participants and he wouldn't do that to anyone else. But Arcane Viktor? The scenes before Ekko's attack were not giving "consent king" vibes from him.

Based on that, my idea is:

The Machine Herald would roast the hell out of Hippy Cult Leader Viktor.

And it could be either really really funny....or super tragic, depending on the interpretation. Honestly I like both lol.

A badly thought out scene in my head goes like this:

A! Viktor: You are pretty harsh on your Jayce.

L! Viktor: Well, at least I let him make his own choices.

A! Viktor: It's-..it's a complicated issue.

L! Viktor: Oh, excuse me. I did not know that a so called brilliant mind, as you like to think of yourself as, has a problem understanding the simple concept of "yes" and "no".

A!Viktor: Well, he fused me with the Arcane first, againts my wishes and-

L!Viktor: So you both suck, this is your argument, yes? Great partnerhsip right there.

A!Viktor: You wouldn't know what a great partnership looks like if it hit you in the face.

L!Viktor: Well, Giopara does that quite a lot so maybe you are wrong about that one.

L!Jayce: You think we are great partners?

L!Viktor: Ehh, don't get sentimental with me. I would rather have a good fight you, than whatever insane codependent fuckery those two have going on.

L!Jayce stares into the camera like he is in the office.(The pot calling the kettle am I right?)

If Viktor would say, that his actions were the result of the Arcane induced brainrot, I can just see the Herald being all:

"Yes, the Arcane is indeed a powerful force to be reckoned with. Many would break under the pressure of infinite knowlegde and it's vast power beyond human comprehension. Not me tho, I am built different. Literally. Y'all stay safe tho."

Also, please keep in mind, that I say all this with the kind of affection that held Jayvik together (lol). I wrote this just for funsies and not as a deep analysis on Viktor's character or actions in the series. Also, english is not my first language sorry for the mistakes. Peace & Love.

Was having a conversation with a friend about Old League lore. It got me curious, is Garens character still basically analogous to a genocide general, what with the mage hunt and all that, or has that largely been retconned away? I'm as familiar with league lore as I used to be.

It's more or less as it was. Mageseeker and the Lux comic have attempted to cast him as a reluctant soldier trying to resist bad orders to the best of his ability, but they haven't ever actually reckoned with any of his culpability and hypocrisy. It's one of those situations where the actions he is depicted as undertaking are astonishingly heinous when you think about them for even two seconds, but the story is invested in making sure you know that he personally feels very bad about doing it, and that in the name of nuance and fairness you should therefore be willing to be sympathetic with him.

Which. Y'know.

Asking us to hold sympathy for a guy who is dragging Extremely Obvious Metaphor For Queer People off to concentration, forced conversion and extermination camps is... I mean it was always a bit of an ask to make of a literate audience, but it's becoming ever more so as Current Year drags on.

idk I just don't have a lot of patience, in the present moment, for stories that try to leave heroic narrative space for people who hold pathetic loyalty to bad institutions, and commit atrocities in their name while shaking their head the whole time so everyone knows they mournfully disagree with what is currently being done, by them.

And if Garen was actually meant to be understood as some of the lowest scum of the earth: someone who knows better and does evil anyway, then that would make for an interesting story, but he's pretty consistently framed as a tragic figure doomed by his noble loyalty to a higher ideal, and oh don't you relate to his deep and complex struggle, such difficult moral questions he faces.

It feels telling of the audience that the story is written for, and the perspective it is written from.

[starryluminary]

Chat I’m afraid I’ve lost the plot.

[burr-ell]

re: bh never having faced consequences, what are some moments/things they've done you think there should've been consequences for? i'm asking because i've realized these past couple episodes that i also fear they won't face any consequences for this, but i haven't been able to pinpoint why i feel that way yet

I don't think the answer is that they've done things that demand consequences so much as it is that a lot of elements of this campaign just don't coalesce or feel like they matter. Things feel important and relevant and cool in the moment and then don't get any kind of followup, nor do they have a meaningful impact on the characters. So much of this story falls to the wayside with no followup, if it doesn't have the wind taken out of it altogether.

A lot of plot points wind up mattering more to the fandom than they do to the characters—even good arcs, like the events of the party split arc, don't seem to have left much of an impact. There are fans who still bring up Hearthdell as a point against the gods or Vasselheim, but Bell's Hells have barely mentioned it if at all since episode 65. Laudna derides it as a "pissant town" with "pissant squabbles" and is far less interested in the village and its people than she is in her own trauma and feelings about the Titans. Ashton only brings up what happened there because they're still sore about being judged by an angel. There's still a chance that they call out Vasselheim's leadership for the whole mess, but at no point during Ashton's rant to the Exandrian Accord did they ever reference the blatant encroachment and attempt at a land grab. Molaesmyr fares little better; Chetney is the only character who ever brings it up, and when he does it's in the context of rattling Ludinus personally—a point that only he ever presses, even though Imogen and Fearne were also there. The fandom has been debating off and on about how much the nature of Predathos itself can be linked to Molaesmyr's destruction, but nothing has canonically explained it one way or the other, in part because the rest of the Hells just aren't interested.

It's also that lack of interest that leads to major NPC villains that are almost completely irrelevant to the story. It does not ultimately matter that one of Ludinus's generals is Otohan Thull or that the Malleus Key was defended by Ozo Cruth. The audience doesn't really know who they are, and they don't know because the party had no reason to care and didn't try to get one. Matt has indicated that there's a story to Otohan that will likely be revealed in a campaign wrap-up, and the same is probably true for Ozo, but in the actual story, all they are to the audience is a couple of overtuned stat blocks with swords, and the characters they killed might as well have been gutted by a pit fiend for all it mattered. About the only death that has any narrative resonance is FCG's, and it feels less like they sacrificed themself to kill Otohan and more like the story had to lose an interesting and engaging character to get rid of Otohan.

Even returning antagonists don't escape; both Ludinus Da'leth and Delilah Briarwood, important villains from their original campaigns, have been done a great deal of disservice in this one. Ludinus peaked in episode 51; his gambit with Vax and Keyleth was great, but the longer he got to keep monologuing, in a campaign already full of talking in circles about the same issue, the more insufferable he became. Even his death, karmic as it was, is cheapened by the almost-immediate implication that he's got a way to come back, which might make sense mechanically but is utterly exhausting narratively. Delilah, on the other hand, could have been replaced by an original character and nothing of value would have been lost; there's potential in an undead warlock whose patron is their own murderer, but any of the emotional juice of that story is outweighed both by how tiresome the pacing is and how overreliant it is on maudlin imagery and nostalgia for the original Briarwood arc. We don't learn about why Delilah is here or what her specific goals are until episode 77, 40 episodes after the party confronted her directly and gave her an opportunity to explain herself that she did not take. The corruption arc, again, had potential, but fizzled out as soon as a level 20 wizard dropped the soul anchor solution into their laps, with little actual impact on Laudna herself.

The actual player characters have, for the most part, barely substantively changed. Chetney has solved the mechanical problem of not being able to control his werewolf transformations and he does push big red buttons when no one else will, but he isn't really moving anywhere as a character. Laudna continues to do everything in her power to bounce back to the old kooky fun-scary bit from episode 1 every time anything interesting happens to her. FCG did actually have a great arc with an incredibly heartfelt and moving conclusion, but is no longer a meaningful part of the narrative and the party's grief over their death was not given the space to breathe that it warranted. Fearne has matured a bit over the course of the campaign but is still largely just as aimless and go-with-the-flow as she was in the beginning. Imogen, at the very least, started to take something close to an actual stance on the gods and what to do about Predathos, but every time she has to make a choice, she continues to ask someone else what she should do and then hem and haw when she's told it's her decision. Orym has finally let himself lean on someone else, but has otherwise remained static. Ashton had a very promising arc after failing to absorb the shard, but has since regressed into doing the exact thing they called themself out for doing: looking for someone to blame and wanting to feel like they were robbed. Moments like Shardgate and Swordgate, which in any other campaign would have been major watersheds, have become functionally irrelevant for all the impact they've had on the actual characters.

The elephant in the room here, of course, is Imogen and Laudna's relationship, which has been a millstone around the campaign's neck from the beginning. Shippers have accused critics of being motivated by bigotry, but the arguments deconstructing it are ultimately rooted in this very same issue: nothing that happens to them truly seems to matter. This is intertwined with the issues with Delilah, because every time Imogen and Laudna actually run into any sort of conflict or difficulty, it has something to do with that plot thread: Delilah broke the gnarlrock; Delilah was reawakened when Laudna killed Bor'dor and Laudna was extremely upset and traumatized about it; and Delilah was the one Laudna was listening to when she tried to steal and absorb Otohan's sword. All of those conflicts fizzled out as soon as the immediate surface issue was resolved: Imogen dropped the gnarlrock issue entirely; Imogen kissed Laudna and insisted that she couldn't be a bad person for killing Bor'dor, and Laudna completely dropped the subject; and Imogen, as soon as Delilah was sealed in the soul anchor, immediately took Laudna back after less than a day of mild distance and they went off to have makeup sex. It feels less like their love is so strong it can overcome any conflict and more like they retreat to the same way their relationship was before as soon as they possibly can. Even starting a romance doesn't seem to materially change anything.

There's no interest in unpacking anything that could cause a problem, either. Laudna canonically has no issue with Imogen floating the idea of siding with the Vanguard, even though it was a Vanguard general who killed Laudna in the street to get to Imogen; in fact, she refuses to take a hard stance for or against Imogen joining Predathos because she doesn't want to "hold Imogen back from her destiny". Prior to Laudna attempting to take the sword, Imogen told her explicitly "if you need [Delilah], then that's my answer"—and then instead of addressing that, Imogen blames herself for Laudna giving into Delilah by wondering if she should have given into her own toxic influence so at least Laudna wouldn't be alone. At no point have they ever had a difficult conversation about any of their underlying issues, like the actual material harm Laudna has done to herself or others or the fact that both Imogen and Laudna have repeatedly tossed aside their actual needs in favor of maintaining their status quo of unending support and presence in each other's lives. They both just attribute responsibility to someone or something else and continue to swear that they'll always be there for one another—just like every other conversation they've ever had. There's no challenge and no movement, not from them or from anyone else; nothing has ever upset the idea that this story could be anything less than idyllic, no matter the increasing evidence to the contrary.

A common refrain for a very long time, and perhaps one still around in some circles, was a desire for Character A and Character B to "finally talk", and not without reason. In previous campaigns, A and B probably would have talked. This, however, is a campaign centering on profoundly incurious characters with a narrative that is disinterested in those characters becoming genuinely invested in its setting or each other beyond a bare surface level. Of course they won't face any consequences for releasing Predathos when they didn't need to, nor will they face consequences for not communicating their incredibly risky and contentious plan ahead of time. Why would they? It won't matter. Nothing in this story matters, and that's the entire problem.

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1a. Wide shot, night, a paved walkway in a park lined by trees filled with autumn leaves. Nandor and Guillermo walk along it side by side, the latter with hands stuffed in the pockets of his jacket and the former looking over at him with interest. Guillermo says, "Basically, it's the same one I've been having since I was twelve." 1b. Eyes up of Guillermo in the foreground as he reddens and turns away, Nandor popping up over his shoulder with a leering grin. Nandor goads him, "Yeees? Go on..." Guillermo replies, "No, it's way too embarrassing." 1c. Chest up of them both from the front, Nandor straightening back up as they continue to walk. Nandor arches his brows and looks away in an aloof manner, saying, "Fine. I thought we were friends, but..." Guillermo furrows his brow, eyes fixed elsewhere and mouth screwed up in indecision. 1d. Repeat. Nandor purses his lips nonchalantly and rolls his gaze upward, waiting. Guillermo gets increasingly red and sweaty in the silence. 1e. Repeat. Guillermo throws up his hands and bursts out "Okay, so there's this guy." Nandor flicks his eyes over with a satisfied grin. 1f. Zoom out to waist up. Nandor giddily strikes a pose, one hand on his hip and the other regally stroking his chin, and asks expectantly, "What does he look like?" Guillermo grimaces and replies "I dunno, just kinda faceless?" He waves a vague hand in front of his face to demonstrate. 1g. Repeat. Nandor slumps and sighs, rolling his eyes in disappointment as Guillermo nervously eyes him, still red in the face. Nandor mumbles, "Faceless...alright... And what does the faceless man do?"

2a. Repeat. Guillermo faces forward and theatrically announces "He rips off my clothes," miming the action with both hands yanking invisible shirt open over his chest. Nandor perks up in excitement, both hands gathering in fists over his chest as he grins over at Guillermo, suddenly enthralled. He encourages, "Then what?!" 2b. Repeat. Guillermo pauses and looks over at Nandor, fists still half-raised in their ripping motion. He replies, "That's it." Nandor's expression drops into one of irritated disbelief. "That's it??" he parrots. 2c. Guillermo's profile in close up in the foreground, Nandor knees up in the background. Nandor pulls a wide-eyed incredulous expression, one hand gesturing wildly while the other seems to be shaking in an effort not to strangle something. Nandor summarizes, "A faceless man rips your clothes off and does nothing further, and this is the only sex dream you have had since childhood? Exactly the same every time?!" Guillermo furrows his brow, red-faced and looking at the ground, mumbling back, "Well, sometimes I vary it a little!" Nandor shoots back, "Which part?" 2d. Waist up of Guillermo as he continues to walk forward, grimacing as he scratches his cheek and replies, "What I'm wearing." Nandor freezes in place, falling a few steps behind as a depressive shock his system reboots from the shock of disbelief and disappointment. 2e. Waist up of Guillermo as Nandor catches up and leans over his side, knocking a heavy hand down on his shoulder. Nandor's expression is soft and deeply disappointed - maybe even a bit concerned - as he says "That is very, very sad, Guillermo. Please start having better ones." Guillermo blushes and looks up at him in confusion, stuttering out "Oh...kay?" /end ID

At first I thought that Stone allowing the space rodents into the doctor's lair without even the courtesy of a warning was an absolutely out of character betrayal. But now I'm thinking:

He just witnessed Robotnik *not caring* that someone else had co-opted his babies. Bad enough he's been defiling them himself (changing one into a dirty microwave? Really?? S1!bot would have reacted to that the way we normies react to Human Centipede), but maybe the fact that their theft & brainwashing isn't enough to get him up off his ass tells Stone that the doctor really isn't home rn, and that makes it okay for him to seize the reins himself.

I'm warming to this idea. Like: this surely isn't the first time Robotnik isn't in his right mind. He's experimented with drugs. He's stood too close to explosions. In those moments Stone understands that his job isn't to rubber-stamp Robotnik's half-baked ideas, but rather to hold down the fort and act in the doctor's best interest until the doctor actually returns. So, maybe that's what he's doing here.

One thing I truly appreciate on In-ho's writing is that they made him a dork.

Just thinking that this terrifying, manipulative villain that can kick ass and controls every aspect of the games from regulations to people, an honestly already very well done antagonist, has this side to him without compromising how intimating he remains in serious scenes is such fantastic writing!

You have him making cringy dad jokes that people only laugh at out of forced politeness just after getting to know him a little but he still keeps on making them as if he can never read the room. Moreover he was dying to pull out the "umbrella" jab on Gi-hun so badly it was nearly the first thing he said to him despite the possibility of risking a rocky start with the guy he literally entered the games for and was trying to win over for his plans.

Then there's a great amount of awkward moments that can't have been him simply acting, like for instance him slipping up with Gin-hun's name cause he got too caught up celebrating gaining his trust and getting bashful when people cheered and clapped for him.

The entire pentathlon episode had me laughing at his antics and him getting visibly frustrated whenever Jung-bae was getting in his way was honestly low key hilarious (if we just ignore for a bit how that whole thing ended *cough* 😅)

In any case I think everything made him that much more interesting and well rounded. Love love love good character writing like this!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤDIVA ! READER.

welcome to the elusive behind-the-scenes content regarding chanel's breakout tv show, baywatch: rising tides! alongside household names such as jensen ackles and tom welling, chanel breaks free from her family's name and sets on a path to make one for herself as the show's main female lead.

. . . breaking news. after a runtime of only three seasons, baywatch: rising tides has ceased filming in the middle of season four's production. all footage wiped from existence. no one will ever know the true ending of the lifeguards we've grown attached to; but can it be pieced together and implied through the tumultuous stories of the actors portraying them?

ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤEXCLUSIVE CONTENT!!

JENSEN ACKLES as WILL DAMERON. dameron was the first character cast in b:rt, as it was important to the casting directors to get an idea of the man in charge of the lifeguards at daytona beach. ackles was the first thought, and then the final thought, one says in recollection of the day he was cast, no one else we thought of fit as well as he did. it was a bonus that he ended up clicking with [chanel] so easily. ackles was a recurring figure throughout the show's three seasons, but allegedly one of the reasons that the fourth never aired.

TOM WELLING as RYAN SHAW. a character introduced in the starts of season two, shaw was one of those last minute additions to the script that was as hard to forget as he was to hate. he's the eye of the hurricane, for lack of better terminology, a casting director stated when asked about why welling joined the crew, someone needed to step in and spice things up. he wasn't ever cast to replace [chanel]'s love interest. that was one of the things that just... happened. though welling was not an original cast member, it is said that he "slotted perfectly into the picture."

Hihi!!^^ Could you please make a bllk and/or bonten hc where she has a friend who always tries to one-up her to get her bf?

You can include all the characters you like and if you do, have fun writing it!!^^

Friend trying to win your bf over/talking shit behind your back

Characters: rindou, ran, mikey, chifuyu, wakasa,

Note : Hiii! Thank you sm for this request! I hope I did it well and you'll like it ! I did both bllk and tr but I'll do it for more fandom I write for bc I like it lslsls like genshin and windbreaker

Tell me if anyone want one with a character in particular (hc / one shot...)

Bllk ver.

m.list | rules

Rindou

Acts sarcastic around her all the time

Fake being interested then stop listening and ignore her

"Is that so ?" With a eyebrow lift and his face unbothered

He wants her to feel bad and like shit, seek attention she'll never have because he's more busy with anything else than her

He wants to feel 10 time worse than what she tried to make you feel

He's mean about it, giving her false hopes

But he never hides it from you, you know it all and honestly you're the one feeling bad for her

He has to remind you himself the shitty friend she is and that she deserves it

Ran

He's not that mean, he knows you like her dearly and does his best to not sighs when she talks

No needs to say that from the start he doesn't really like her

But when she starts talking shit about you behind your back, with him around ? He really got that she was on another planet

It got worse when she speaks to him directly, how she put herself above you, with a fake empathic smile

"Weird way to flirt with a taken guy, talking shit about his girlfriend"

He sounds unbothered but his eyes are cold while he drinks

He probably drink it in one shot and move back to you and tells you

Wakasa

Younger Wakasa would've probably killed her on spot

Older him is more composed, but not without thinking the same

He feels you tensed when she starts speaking about your common dance class, his arm tighten around your shoulders, as if he was asking what's up

His eyes turn cold when she ask him how bad you were at it after he came once

"Excuse me ?"

She sits up straight and, sadly, couldn't turn her gaze away from her when she wishes she had

"I think you're the only one remembering it that way."

He's not joking around when it comes to you, and she for sure regretting it when everyone stopped listening to her around the table

Chifuyu

He's silly and kind, it's good to be around him you get that and all your friends feel safe around him for this reason

But you never expect to one of them to turned it against you when he's just nice and making sure they're safe

You're choked the first time you heard her talking like this about you while you were go for a few minutes, with him sitting next to her

"I've never noticed though, I have no idea what you're talking about"

He plays dumb but you can tell in his voice is not joking around anymore

She's doesn't insist when you came back, but he makes sure to mention it so you can defend yourself

And when everyone take your side you felt slightly better, even more with him taking your defense without hesitation

Mikey

That's the worst idea anyone can have

Mikey thinks so highly about you, maybe a bit too much but that makes him your number one supporter

Looking down on you to try to win him over is the dumbest thing to do

He's quick to react, the second she pushed you down to her up, his eyes are on her and he's moving closer

"Talk shit about my gf one more time, I dare you"

He doesn't do anything else, doesn't touch her but that's because he respects woman and don't fight people who can't defend themselves

Or else he would've hit her in the face

"Get out while I'm still being friendly"

No need to say you never heard of her again
