#i really do be rambling huh

[red-moon-at-night]

okay the whole vase is great but something about Helen sitting on Aphrodite's lap as she wraps one arm around her shoulder and brushes her leg with her hand, staring into her eyes like that... as she is persuading Helen to go with Paris (while Peitho aka persuasion stands behind them) is so incredibly iconic.

and gay. toxic yuri, if you will.

Rook: I'm really worried about Davrin and Lucanis, they keep arguing with one another... Its very bad Varric, what if it effects them in battle?

Varric, remembering that one time Fenris broke Ander's nose then took a knife in the back for him in the same night: I'm sure they'll be fine kid. They're barely even arguing if you ask me

Aah I got so much love today over Lunar Boy's book birthday!! Lots of friends getting their copies in the mail or finding my book in stores! A book birthday is like a birthday, I get people congratulating me and celebrating. But instead of me getting presents, it's everyone else who gets a gift (that I made!). So really, it's better than a birthday haha.

warframe ramble because yeah i do that.

Anyway, when i was doing arbitration survival, i saw someone with... this gun

looks like it doesn't need ammo, is an AoE weapon, and apparently is doing waaaaaay more damage and kills than me constantly shooting shedu.

i have done a bit mastery farming but still i've never seen any gun that looks and shoots like that. They changed the name of the gun so I can't really tell what is it. Communication failed because they only speak mandarin and in english version warframe anything non-ascii is just a bunch of astrisks (seriously DE? in 2024?)

Looking through their profile for their most used weapon and saw tombfinger. And... yeah, whatever that thing is the wiki says it shoots AoE. Looking through the wiki and

"Oooooooooh. Kitguns are a thing. Yeah. Fuck that sounds troublesome"

After building tombfinger (and sporelacer) and yeah it's just a SP viable shedu. I guess if I know this gun exists I wouldn't even buy shedu.

The other person is constantly shooting shedu btw. I also tried to do netracell with this and yup, it can definitely kill stuff.

Got a riven for it because there's just not much kitgun types out there and i got tombfinger after opening like 2 rivens.

Also why is there 2 kinds of values for my riven wtf DE

RAHHH DO I HAVE THOUGHTS

[wheatormeat]

Best way I can pitch hirayasumi is that it's like skip and loafer but for 20-30 year olds who have no idea what they're doing in life

I love being someone's science experiment

[ceruleanslob]

really need fic recs of wrightworth being rivals to lovers... i swear i've scourged the whole of ao3 just searching for some with this premise...

[jadecantcreate]

am i the only person who tends to think of pain in pitch?

as in, pain can be “high pitch” or “low pitch” — if its sharp, like a paper cut or heartburn or aching, its high pitch; if its like a stubbed toe or sore muscles or a headache, its low pitch

high pitch pain is when you hiss, low pitch pain is when you groan, etc etc

i dont know if this makes sense to anyone else?????

(because everytime im writing fanfiction i have to hold myself back from describing it that way — and im not even sure i could fully, effectively communicate that w/o breaking immersion — but me saying “sharp pain” has become. a problem. probably. i really need alternatives)

horrible little imp man is plaguing my thoughts once more

[owlyflufff]

the shipping spectrum truly is just "the idle fleeting thought that he was a star crossed my mind" "It's not impossible just very hard!" "Bokuto-san" "AGHASHEEEEE" "we are the protagonists of the world"

to

"smile spikey, you look better when you smile" "he is reason enough for me to fight" "I made a friend, he ain't as dumb as I am" "don't worry, I'm a friend of Nicholas" "after all was said and done, I wanted to share my tomorrows with him"

[edwinisms]

I know how it sounds at first, but I really gotta feel bad for the boys that sacrificed edwin; I mean even the term “sacrificed edwin” paints them in a more sinister light than they really deserve– considering that wasn’t really, actually their intention.

they were bullies, they were homophobic (and/or were self loathing gay boys themselves taking it out on edwin, or were equally likely peer pressured into acting a certain way), they planned something stupid and mean to do to an innocent, anxious boy with the goal of scaring the shit out of him, all because he was effeminate and an easy target. but they didn’t know or expect any of the ritual stuff to be real. they were all laughing and joking during the ritual because it was just that to them– a joke. a cruel joke, but a joke.

teenagers can be mean and stupid and they usually regret it as adults and grow out of it / grow from it. they were stifled the chance to grow out of it, at least while alive. none of those boys deserved to be instakilled and sent to hell; they’re really not that much less deserving than edwin himself. they were all just kids, after all.

[archiixx]

I've been falling asleep while listening to TMA and working on my assignment (I'm still in season two) and one time I dreamt i was in the archives with Jon and he yelled at me about something, pushed me off the table and I immediately woke up because of it.....

[shiocreator]

bored so posting about my oc x canons because I yearn to yell. @soratsuart cuz ik you like them nabdjsnsn

Beware the text block under the read more

scarlette x idia is so funny to me cuz they're the same kind of person. Scarlette even tried her best to be a shut in during this period of her life before in the twst auing gets isekaied, (only thing keeping her going outside a lot was her mom dragging her around outta the house) and in regular stuff when she's an adult she actively needs a character arc of not being a shut in workaholic type.

Anxious, anti-social, definitely traumatized in their own ways... fun!

I think there's something neat about how scarlette would have gone down a more idia like path in twst if it wasn't for grim and the adeuce duo typically dragging her out, she's not a social butterfly by any means at ALL but she's learned how to get by and force herself to just Talk even if she hates it and is getting drained constantly and frequently scared

Idia probably clicked her as the "shy quiet girl whos nice" or smthn character archetype thing, (her first appearance and just glancing at her as an outsider perspective showcasing an accidental guise akin to that especially during books prologue-2 most definitely), before getting blasted with her full personality having far more depth in it, including being downright Scary and deranged. Maybe even thinking she's abit extroverted cuz she's always talking to people so surely! ...no she hates it and is outright jealous of his set up and says it out loud when told about him being a shut in who sends his tablet to classes whenever plausible

No one really expected her to say that his set up "sounds so good to have...." and when asking her why she thinks it sounds good, "so I can stay away from people easier"

SO LIKE. suffice to say the utter moment they've befriended each other she's just. Around a LOT. She hides there often as she can, probably deems it a safe space. She listens to idia genuinely with interest cuz she likes seeing and hearing him excited about a thing and would get him candy and stuff in return

I had an idea for a sort of card vignette for her, and it basically boiled down to several people tryna make her do things for them (Azul tryna get her on shift, Sam popping up to try and also get her on shift, Crowley doing Crowley things, Ace tryna get her to save him from Riddle etc etc stuff like that), and getting so overwhelmed actively freaking out in a breakdown running away to Ignihyde, and asking Idia if she can stay for awhile and hide, cuz she just wants things to be normal and people would find her at Ramshackle, trusting idia to not try and hurt her, and worried about her let's her stick around and helps things just be normal for awhile

Which I think says a lot about how Scarlette definitely would trust this man personally

And on idias side I think he would. Be scared of her a Lot at first cuz I can genuinely see her tryna make an effort in befriending him, which is scary when she's putting on a fake cheerful persona (aka acting like her friend Karra when she befriended her) cuz she thinks it's what's needed

But after that ruse fails and he learns she genuinely wants to be his friend and just didn't know How to go about that, he can't even try to start thinking of assumptions she just saw him as a charity case before she's apologizing so much and saying outright "I know you hate me now ill leave you alone as best as I can I'm sorry" and just. Frying his brain. The reaction he never expected . Anxiety and outright putting words into his mouth that he must hate her now. Surprise surprise gamer boy she's similar to you in the absolute WORST WAYS in her own unique flavor

So overall after THAT sorta hurdle I think he'd genuinely enjoy her company, vuz she's genuinely nice (it's still terrifying but he can deal since she aggressively drills in on how she's not tryna have any angles here), listens and gives her own feedback to add to the conversation, sometimes gifts him either fanart she made of something he mentioned liking before or sweets (muffins she baked at heartslabyul typically) too, plus she genuinely thinks he's cool and doesn't find him creepy, if anything she will infact bluntly comment on how pretty she finds him.

They would definitely bond over techy roboty stuff I feel, scarlette has basic knowledge of how to take things apart and only doesnt go further cuz she doesn't wanna break anything. So Idia should teach her how to build computers and properly take stuff apart. She would remember it all due to being very interested in stuff like that and I think he'd like her more for it after

he also would successfully turn her into an anime fan I think. Or smthn. Her mom absolutely had a whole set of old anime like sailor moon or smthn so she herself is AWARE of animes abit due to that but prob never looked much into some unless she enjoyed the art. She's someone who appreciates good art and animation he could get her to watch even a romance involved thing without gagging if she likes the art enough

He is scared of and respects her ability to play games like overcooked with 4 controllers all by herself as a "relaxing downtime game" . He doesn't entirely get it but holy fuck (/joke)

If Scarlette and Idia were friends before book 6 he would infact be surprised he's surprised she did this shit at all actually. You know. Ride a broom with pomefiore to a secret government esk facility. Why would he expect her to be Normal and Not Reckless.

"Didn't you say you were sick of everyone dragging you into trouble!? You did this on your own this time!?" "Yeah well I want my cat back"

book 6 she is not okay (long story shorts, he was attacked by grim, has had barely any sleep for awhile, has literally been soaking up blot since book 1 or damn maybe even the prologue, and soaked up abit of thunder spear magic cuz she was holding the base of it to help steady it 3 times, prob banged up from shit, absolutely tired and out of it by the end of the overblot) suffice to say she is ill and Idia and Ortho are gonna lose it in the book 6 prologue after learning she can just soak up blot and magic . She gets an ignihyde fit after this with a lot of anti blot magic in it for her to wear . She gets a LOT of dorm uniforms tailored to wear especially after this

Etc etc I like them a lot and idia deeply wants to know What Is WRONG With Her while also genuinely caring about her enough to try and get abit better for her not wanting to make her think he dislikes her, while she generally thinks of him pretty positively and accidentally ends up helping him go outside occasionally just out of begging him to go with her somewhere out in society cuz someone else is dragging her out

Now getting into any romance is a fucking nightmare cuz idia is Not that brave and Scarlettes dense as fuck and when she's not dense she is Scared and Avoidant due to assuming anyone who she crushes on will infact Hate Her due to childhood rejection trauma hahsbGV. So as you can imagine I have fun with that ♡ (ghost bride is a very fun event for me when it comes to scarlette.)
