We are BACK with another song from my zelink playlist. This one is:

“The Ruse & The Caper” by Coyote Theory

“If you’re a soul I’m your mate

If you’re the past I am fate

If you’ve got time I could stay

If you’re alive I can wait”

[hinamie]

"I'll show you every day that choosing to live was worth it"

some of my favourite scenes from @hijinks-n-lowjinks' fic things i would miss from the other side . this fic tore my heart out fr but like in a good way and i wanted to pay it homage the only way i know how <3

[akirakirxaa]

Oh boy, I get to info dump about whatever the fuck That is. *points at Akira's love life*

So the actual decision to ship with Haurchefant actually stemmed from my husband and I fighting over which of our WoLs got to date Aymeric. (It was all in good fun of course haha.) I relented because suddenly I decided to inflict horrible pain and suffering onto Akira. I also decided the moment I decided she would be into Haurch that she also would wait to tell him until it was too late. Because I have a bad habit of being mean to my main characters a lot. So up until my very recent Haurch Lives AU I've been playing with they've always just been a tragedy. This is not to say I never liked Haurch, btw, but Aymeric does ask us over for drinks and he has That Voice. >.>

Hien happened in Stormblood because I was determined to ship Akira with someone and Stormblood was somewhat lacking in options. He's also pretty and we all love a well intentioned himbo. I figured he would be a good place for Akira to start trying to open back up after Haurch. Originally when I had her break up with him right before Shadowbringers I intended for her to get back with him when she returned. That...obviously didn't happen. ^^; Sorry Hien, Shadowbringers just brought in a couple of juggernauts of ship material. That's why he's not on my current ship list.

I did not originally have her get with Emet. He's grown on me over time. Not in the 'I didn't like him and now I do' way, in the 'I liked him and now I love him' way. Originally I was going to have his and her soul's past connection being why her romantic life always seems to never work out, kinda like a darker twist on the soulmates thing where as long as he was around no other relationships would work. I ditched that idea some time ago but it was fun while it lasted. I decided to have them be a thing for a brief time in ShB just because Akira was under a lot of pressure and between being a shard of Azem (we'll get to my Azem), and her past life being the Empress (we'll get to her too), she was just drawn to him in a way she wasn't anyone else. She didn't get it but she had too much to worry about to also worry about that too.

G'raha seemed like a natural fit. It was such an echo of what happened in the Vault, that being able to save him at the end of ShB felt like a redemption. Between that, their former friendship during the CT questline, and everything he'd done for her to save her life and the life of everyone she cared about, it honestly would have been kinda weird if they hadn't gotten together, at least in my personal universe.

Onto my non-Akira characters with ships.

It should be obvious from the fact that I named my Azem Persephone that I always intended to ship her with Hades from the minute we saw the ancient in the light during the Big Cutscene in ShB. And then it was just solidified in the cutscene where we're given the Azem Crystal. And when Endwalker gave us some actual Hyth info, I could not imagine any pair of them without the third. It was the first time I was 100% sold on an OT3 that wasn't intended on being a poly ship in the first place. This is definitely a case of I felt the narrative demanded it even though I also love Hades and Hyth.

Valeria I literally created to be the first Empress of Garlemald and so I made to her to be shipped with Solus rather than the other way around. And in this case I can 100% say it was because I'm slightly obsessed with Emet-Selch. But it also gave another solid reason for Akira to feel inexplicably pulled towards him if one of her past lives (which I headcanon the Empress was) was actually married to him and they had a good relationship (which of course I'm going to make them have because that's a lot more fun for me lol). So Valeria happened as a plot device and self indulgence and I'm totally okay with that lol.

for people who ship their oc with an npc: did you decide to ship them with your OC because they were a favorite character of yours OR because you felt that npc genuinely went well with your OC? I'm really curious!

Reading The Way of Kings is really funny so far because you go from reading about Kaladin and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day(s) to Shallan and her sailor buddy Yalb's wacky book-buying adventure back to Kaladin about to fucking kill himself.

[appleelevengreen]

can we talk about the details in challengers though bc yes the churro scene but patrick hooking a foot under the stool next to him so art will sit closer to him. patrick swiping through all the girls but taking a minute to swipe the guy on the app. the beds pushed together. the mirroring action of art spitting his gum in tashi's hand now and in patrick's hand then. everything, just everything.

so like. at what point are we going to stop listening to game companies saying "the game was poorly received and didn't meet our sales targets, and that's why we're removing it from storefronts and taking down all the servers mere months or even weeks after release" for titles that had a long expensive development, were barely marketed, and nobody knew they'd even released until after they heard they were getting shut down and couldn't be played/purchased anymore?

I feel like the prevailing takeaway for anyone who doesn't just conclude "yeah, game was pretty mid, makes sense to me" has usually been "this company just has unreasonably impossible sales expectations and treats every project like a failure if it doesn't print a trillion dollars". but these ARE allegedly experienced business execs who aren't complete idiots, and after this most recent debacle with Concord I'm starting to wonder if a bunch of these "games getting wiped out of existence when they underperform instead of just being allowed to persist as they are and maybe improve with time" cases in recent years might be more of a Warner-Discovery type situation, like nuking an entire animated series or film that was worked on for years and preventing it from being sold because it has to be officially unprofitable for the company to use it as a tax write-off. I look at a game that was worked on for 8 years and only made available for 2 weeks, and it's hard not to see the parallels.

great work, AAA games industry, really normal and sustainable stuff you're doing over there as usual

Once you stop thinking about queer people's labels as strict indications of what's in their pants and who they do/don't bed and instead view queer people's labels as how they interact with the world, you'll find that you'll get along with queer people better and treat them better, I think.
