I'd Say Lost & You'd Say Love

AO3

Written for Wriothesley/Clorinde's ship week. Canon compliant (in the least until Clorinde's release lol). Complete at 7 chapters (in the least until I write the other canon one-shots I want to add to it). Rated E specifically for two NSFW chapters.

The calendar on his desk was right behind the box of tea, and he was forcibly reminded of what day it was. That still didn’t seem right, though. Clorinde didn’t know. He never told her. He actually didn’t think she ever even asked.

Still, that was the only thing it could be, right?

He arched an eyebrow at her. “What are you playing at, Clorinde?”

“Is thinking of a friend suspicious to you?”

“No, of course not.” Wriothesley held up the box of tea. “Importing tea all the way from Inazuma feels like a little more than just thinking of a friend, though.”

Clorinde didn’t even blink when he called her out on her lie. In fact, she didn’t even respond. She just stood up and walked over to the couch on the other side of his office.

“Am I wrong?” He tried again, watching her sit down on the cushions.

“Mm, yes, I think so.”

Happy Birthday to Ferdinand von Aegir!

I actually made 33 emotes, affectionately known as Aegirglyphics to some, for my own personal use on discord. However, I figure why not share some of them! They're free to use for discord servers/icons/pfps or whatever. However, my only request is Do NOT use them as subscriber emotes on Twitch. You can make them free follower emotes but you are not to make them locked behind a paywall.

random omegaverse thought:

There must be people who experience specific instinct things with indifference or boredom.

Procreative cycle coming up? "Crap, I've got plans this weekend...stupid skip weeks."

Caught an intriguing scent while walking? "But I need to get to work! Shut up brain."

Had a snap response to a distressed sound? "Who was it?! ...right, it's my day off, I can go back to sleep."

Somebody growled at them? "Kid, I'm not a rival, that's my sibling."

Super cozy cuddle session happening nearby? "I'm gonna pass tonight guys, no social battery left, maybe next time."

Group of friends heading out to flirt and check out other singles? "I'm coming with you but only to make sure you all get home safe."

Setting where fated mates or soul bonds or permanent marks are a thing? "Meh. I don't really want one or care if I ever get one."

People in the actual omegaverse would get as bored of their stuff, as we do of ours, you know? It could be interesting to see that kind of vibe in fics. Biological demands faced with all the excitement of paying bills or doing laundry or tying your shoes.

Even if that kind of energy might not drive a plot, it could be interesting to have as a contrast to the people who do have big feelings about them - good or bad.

There's the friends who can't wait til they have a pack of their own, and the one friend who isn't against it but couldn't care less. There's the group in the office who are all about scent compatibility tests and figuring out one's best match and what sprays most highlight it, and the coworker who has no intentions on putting that much effort in. There are parents who hover and protect their offspring by scenting them multiple times a day, and others who don't see what the fuss is as long as it's done in the morning.

...also: packs with introverts who show care by giving each other space. So often, closeness is depicted through physical touch and tactile affection, but comfortable silence is meaningful too. Knowing people are near, but not having to interact until you're ready. Sitting in the same room doing different things, knowing that all it takes is a "hey, look at this" to share what you're up to. People understanding and accepting each other's differing or fluctuating needs for how and when to recharge. Seeing somebody reaching out or sharing space, beyond what's their norm, as a signal of the fact that they care.

People love finding random natives online and dumping their family story on them expecting a reassuring 'of course you're native!!' Lol

Sorry, if you don't wanna reconnect why would you even mention your supposed apache or whatever ancestry. If you aren't connecting to the tribe what does it even matter. 'I find it interesting' so you're using supposed native ancestry as a fun fact to make you look more interesting? How is that different than any other 'great grandma cherokee princess' person. Especially since you apparently have time to research the history of all your ancestral cultures but you don't have time to do genealogy

And of course when I tell them 'assume the stories are fake until you've got actual proof' they block me.

thinkin about how important it is for submissives to take control of their own submission and understand their own agency in kink and to communicate for themselves

[captainshyguy]

thinking a little recently about trivia based fandom vs transformative based fandom, and how cleanly these can be divided into reddit and tumblr fandoms respectively a lot of the time, and how foreign only doing the first is to me from an artist perspective

[oceanwithouthermoon]

okay i need this for reference, can anyone actually name any gags in saiki k that dont have a confirmed canon explanation at least for the bit? because from my understanding, every single joke in saiki k is canon and they usually have elaborate explanations for the impossible typical gag manga shit like when things are weird in one episode but are normal in the next 😭 so im having a hard time understanding why people use the excuse "it was just a gag" to explain why something in saiki k isnt canon when like... every gag in saiki k is canon. right?? someone please correct me if you can because i need to know

[sonknuxadow]

if the only footage youve seen of the game doesnt actually give you a good idea of what the game/story is like (like its from a parody video or is otherwise heavily edited for example) then it doesnt count as having watched the game and you should pick little to no actual exposure to the game. only interacting with the games content through fanart/fanfic/etc also counts as little to no actual exposure to the game

⚡️aren't a lot of the traits you hate inkfish for also traits that humanity once had? why do you hate one for those traits, but revere the other despite them?

Its left lens creaks as it hovers slightly more northwards. Its right lens clumsily follows suit until it's pointed towards the ceiling. Then, both of them swerve in a downwards circle until they reach the bottom of the bells, swinging aimlessly for a few seconds before eventually correcting themselves. Rolled eyes. He just rolled his eyes at you. How much effort did that take?

"You are attempting to accuse me of hypocrisy. This is near-sighted and predictable of you. My professor created me and gave me a specific purpose: to pass down humanity's knowledge onto the next race and ensure that they did not repeat humanity's mistakes. Inklings are a privileged species that, in many ways, border on being a caricature of the humans who walked the earth beforehand. Mostly the Americans, if I had to call out a specific nationality. They are hedonistic by nature, they contribute very little to the whole of society, they always prioritize play over work as even their forms of 'work' are still a manner of play, they have next to no survival instincts, they rarely pursue their studies at school and instead prefer to engage in heaps of extracurricular activities, they discriminate against the Octarians over trivial differences and a petty war, they have a sport centered around said war, the NSS recruits juveniles that they can feed their anti-Octarian propaganda to, they care more about the next fashion catalog rather than attempting to improve the environment, they treat Salmonids like literal animals due only to a language barrier and cultural differences-- I could go on. I really could."

Criticisms of the Inklings took an overwhelming priority; it almost forgot to address Octolings entirely.

"Octolings are a bit too heavily militaristic, and they enlist prepubescent children in military training. Their society is extremely stifling on its youths and many of the soldiers I have seen are emotionally constipated or otherwise stunted in some form. You can tell they are utterly miserable, because all it takes is a song from some Inkling pop idols to make thousands of them defect from the army. Apparently. But they have excellent technological growth, and their species is generally more intelligent and disciplined than Inklings. Both species have glaring flaws that make them highly susceptible to repeating humanity's mistakes, which I do not want, but Octolings are more reliable and have greater potential, therefore I use an excess of them for my operations."

Some of its loose wires droop wearily as its linguistic programs simmer down from the prolonged period of impassioned ranting.

"I admire humans and what they achieved. Yes. But I am not oblivious to their flaws. I was specifically created to prevent their flaws and mistakes from being repeated. Inklings might as well be an overblown representation of what made humans so foolish and reckless. I absolutely detest Inklings. Octarians are creatures I pity. Their species is also decidedly beyond saving for as long as Inklings are in the picture and continue to influence them. Since neither species seems worthy of humanity's knowledge, I am taking it upon myself to start the landscape anew with humanity's second-coming." it concluded.

arc 8 ottosuba and mutually assured destruction (devotion)

basically i wanna talk about this again but more Specifically bc they are gonna fuck each other over so fucking bad. like this is the most disastrous combo of all time. you got natsuki subaru who has rbd AND a suicide pill in his fucking mouth that he can use at any time AND he will die as many times as it takes to save Anyone he cares about. and then you pair him with otto suwen, aka a devoted little freak whos willing to let entire countries and millions of people, including people subaru cares about, die to save subaru. and otto has died for subaru twice now and will gladly do so again on top of that. they are the absolute worst combo of all time bc natsuki "ill save you no matter how many times i die" subaru and otto "i would let anyone and anything die to save you" suwen are inevitably going to come into conflict. otto wont let subaru die at any cost but subaru having rbd means that hes gonna win no matter what. hes gonna get what he wants. hes gonna die and theres nothing otto can do to stop it. and even if otto does stop subaru, its a lose lose bc either subaru dies and uses the info he got to beat otto next time, or subaru and otto end up having more fights with each other anyway, or otto does end up stopping subaru in some way (example: otto wanting louis to die) and subaru gets pissed at him over it, or all the otto permadeath flags end up being real and otto dies permanently and subarus gonna be destroyed and i bet ottos still gonna be like "i told you we shouldve left vollachia when we had the chance" on his literal deathbed bc him permadying proves his literal point this whole arc. and subaru can save otto all he wants but if otto ever figures out this hurts subaru in any way ottos never going to get over it. hes gonna be upset and pissed forever. there is no winning with these two. their devotion is violent and theyve literally found their match in each other. bc their devotion strips the other person of their own free will and choice in the manner bc they keep saying "no. i have to save you no matter what, even if you get upset at what im doing and even if i do all of this behind your back without ever telling you." and if they keep being stubborn theyre just gonna end up dragging each other down - which is the exact opposite of their goals to save each other. they are likely going to kill each other by the end of this, metaphorically or not. and its going to be because of love. do you understand. how do you save someone who wants to save you first. how do you save someone whos devoted themselves to you, body and soul, in the most violent way possible.

also if otto manages to read the tome once its restored... he's gonna figure out rbd.

Being queer and neurodivergent is great and all until you're with relatives and you watch other people and feel like an outcast in your own family

no one knows just how hard I work at things. how I have to work 1000000x more than the average person to compensate for being autistic and adhd and probably other things i'm working out with therapist, and having a sort of physical disability i've not received any help or treatment for. everyone assumes I don't try or give up too soon. they think I just started, need more practice. they think I expect everything handed to me immediately with no work or effort and don't acknowledge the multiple years i've put into things. they think I have no right to be upset about still failing to get where I want even after working my entire life to get there, while watching people around me surpass even my meager goals within a fraction of the time and work i've out into the same thing. constantly getting surpassed by everyone around me who seem to barely do any work to get there compared to me. it's all handed to them and falls into their lap so easily. all because they don't have the extra obstacles to overcome and work around that I do. while they go from point A to Z immediately with no major stops in between, I have to go through every single letter and then some, often getting sent back to the start. but it's always *my* fault, according to everyone. it's not the fault of those around me who ignore me, don't support me, don't help me, don't believe in me, etc. it's my fault they don't do those things. because doing the work of 10 people in one isn't enough, just because it's me. and not reaching Z as fast as everyone else means I don't deserve any of the support or help or anything else and means i'm not trying hard enough. it doesn't matter that I *need* to work harder than 100 "normal" people combined to get even half the result! Just because I can't reach what they do means i'm not trying hard enough! ugh.

Life just feels like everyone moves on without you and no. I don't like it at all.
