I don’t really know how to say this in a better way so imma just say it

If you think John Dory is a bad character then respectfully, you have no idea what being an oldest sibling is like.

He didn’t abandon his brothers. He was pushed to a point of having to be responsible for four younger brothers, ranging from baby to teenager, trying to coordinate and pull off good if not perfect shows, trying to help Rosiepuff raise both them and himself while also dealing with trollstice and the troll tree while also struggling with an ever growing *need* to be perfect. It doesn’t matter how much you love your siblings- if you’re stressed enough, you’re going to snap and you’re going to snap at them. And you know what? He probably hated himself for that too. And for the fact that he couldn’t be perfect. Any oldest sibling knows the guilt of not being good enough and presumably tearing down their younger siblings in the process…it’s awful. No fuckin wonder he walked away, bro was what, 17?? 18??? He shouldn’t have had to do that. And he didn’t just abandon his brothers knowing what was gonna happen to Branch. From his perspective, he walked away knowing full well Spruce and Clay could step up, and that Rosiepuff would still be there. He had no way of knowing Branch would end up alone and gray, because if he did, he never would have left.

John Dory is not a bad character. He loves his brothers.

Edit: some people are saying he didn’t come back until he needed something. He came back to an empty troll tree- he thought his brothers were dead. He probably only left for a few months or so! He didn’t abandon them. He had every intention to come back and did. His family was just gone.

hi~ i’m new to simblr but i’ve learned how to fix the issue with cc lashes from the recent patch! i adore dreamgirl’s lashes but as we all know op has been offline since early last year, so i’m fixing dreamgirl’s collection of cc lashes myself! i was thinking about posting them when i’m done, but i wanted to do an interest check to see if anyone would like that or if someone else is already planning on posting a fix. please like/rb if interested and sound off in the comments if you wanna!!

[trensu]

do you think you'll put "Stasis in darkness" on AO3 eventually?

see, when the idea first came to me, I hadn't really planned on doing anything with it because I wasn't sure if I could make it work. there's a level of gravitas in the relationship between a god and their devoted servant that I didn't think would translate well to steddie because, let's be real, those boys are goofy dorks. but the idea wouldn't leave me alone so I typed up the original post in an attempt to work it out of my system and move on.

(the post kind of blew up, which I was not expecting at all!! like, not even a little bit! i post all sorts of rough little ideas for my own amusement and I've been able to do that without drawing much attention until that point.)

Anyway, I wouldn't have done much with it but @acowardinmordor left some comments/tags/what have you that helped me nail down the setting in my head which really opened the door for me to explore how the story could progress. (apologies, strife, I'm not sure I ever properly thanked you for that burst of inspiration, so please accept this shoutout as an expression of gratitude). And the amazing @ent-is-indecisive allowed me to rant about it which really helped flesh out the story. Seriously, there are elements and lore coming up that would not have existed if it weren't for ent. (and thank you once again ent for the ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL fanart you made for the reveal scene, I'm still overcome with joy whenever I think about it!).

Once it got to that point, I knew I wanted it to be a self-contained story and I was afraid that if I did a multi-chapter fic I'd lose the thread and never make it to the ending I want the fic to have. (no, the end scene hasn't been written yet but I KNOW what it's going to be and I hope everyone will love it as much as i do). So I promised myself that I was not going to post it on ao3 until the whole thing was written out completely.

However, I occasionally need a confidence/motivation boost so I've been posting consecutive parts of the rough draft here. you have no idea how much the people who reblogged with tags or left comments have helped me fight off the discouragement my brain likes to bog me down with; off the top of my head, @godsweakestboy , @redfreckledwolf, @fuctacles , @spectrum-spectre , and @lawrencebshoggoth have given me lovely, enthusiastic words of encouragement. and they're only the ones I can think of at this moment. there's so many other people who've done this, so if you've ever left me nice tags or comments, please know that I've read every single one of them repeatedly whenever I need to get over a slump. I'm so grateful for all of you!

Anyway, all this is to say yes! It is going to be posted as a oneshot on ao3 once I've finished writing it. <3

And I'm still full of the love you want

Hero/Villain Amnesia CYOA Part 2

CW: Heights, possible manipulation

You chose: Villain

In the brief matter of time afforded you, you make a snap decision to go with Villain. You can’t be sure they’re telling the truth, but they seem like your best bet at escaping at least.

You dash towards where they’re standing. Chaos erupts behind you; you don't dare stop to look back, you can only hope that they're all more occupied with fighting each other than pursuing you.

You reach the opening and feel the kiss of fresh air before anyone else reaches you. Villain starts climbing out as soon as you approach.

The hole in the wall leads to…just about nothing, as far as you can tell. You were hoping for at least a fire escape. You realize Villain intends to climb down the outside of the building itself. It’s rough enough to be doable, but you’re high up.

You start to have a few regrets, but you’re pulled out before you can go back on your decision.

“Come on. We’ll have to climb down this quickly if we want to get away before any of the others get us.”

You're about to argue that you've never climbed the outside of a building before, but the protest dies in your throat as you realize maybe you did and you can't remember it.

“Hope you're not afraid of heights,” Villain says as they move down the building.

You don't know. You can't remember any experience with heights.

You start climbing after them. You manage; you’re not sure if that’s due to the handhold and footholds being decent enough that most fit people could do it, or if there’s some kind of forgotten or buried experience giving you the skill.

You cling to the wall, desperate to make it out of this safely. You can’t help but think about how if you’d gone with one of the others, at least you wouldn’t have had to do this.

“Come on,” Villain hisses. They’re faster than you; clearly they remember how to do this kind of thing.

A deep loud noise—something collapsing perhaps—rattles through the building, and you hug closer to the wall, suddenly plagued by new doubts about its stability.

At last you make it to the bottom and step down from the wall. A little shaky, you breathe out a sigh of relief as you stand on solid ground again. It looks like you made it without picking up any pursuers. Villain nudges you around a corner where the two of you will be less exposed. As you catch your breath, their eyes flick over the damaged building you escaped from, watching for trouble.

“I can take you to my base, where we’ll be safer, but you’ll have to swear not to betray the location to anyone else,” Villain says to you, eyes intense.

Villain hasn’t led you wrong so far, but also this might be your last chance to split. Once you get into their base, you’re more committed, and there’s also a chance they’ll want more than just your word ensuring their secrets are kept safe. But on the other hand, if you did go off alone, you’d be flying completely blind with your memories gone.

I may have spent all my life until this moment wasting both mine and God's time, but from tomorrow on, for sure, i swear it, i will change my ways and be better. And it'll be different from all the other times i said the same thing🧎‍♀️

[alltheoutsinfreeeee]

Have I ever told you that I love A Link Between Worlds' final cutscene? Zelda and Link making a shared wish, the cut to Lorule, (Ravio falling over due to the earthquake, the goober), the music starting to swell at the reconstruction of the Triforce, the simultaneous cleansing of it, Hilda and Ravio's reactions when they realize what's happening, the triumphant music at the shot of the renewed Triforce with Lorule changing to softer colors in the background, Hilda crying in disbelief and gratitude...

Ahhhhhh, I love it! It's so well done! I've seen it so many times already but it still makes my heart warm and my eyes sting. Hilda never needed to go to such lengths, all she had to do was ask... [screams into pillow]

[scare-ard--sleigh]
