#i'm going to go lie on the floor now

[stone-stars]

i think it's really. this episode demonstrates perfectly why naddpod music works. like. a friend for life has consistently been duck team reaffirming their friendship, and here it is again. a bastard no more is sol and albin saying goodbye at the end of the ezry arc, and here it comes back for them affirming that they want to be in each other's lives forever. on the prow is duck team reflecting together as they fly up to the mothership-- sol's 'i kinda always hoped that my destiny would bring me here, but i'm not sure i fully understood what that meant until now' and them talking about how this (as disguises) is probably the only way the mothership uniforms would feel like they fit-- and here it's sol weaving the displacer scarf into everyone's gear so that they could all be protected. a fairy remembers, the song for callie's initial pledge to the wild, as she makes it anew. the twinkling lights of galaderon was the first night the bubble went down, duck team seeing the stars for the first time since living in ezry, and now it's them putting the stars back in the sky. hexbuds was literally duck team's first moment of 'oh my god we achieved something' when the knight captain in ezry assumed they were c-class knights, and now it's kenna (a knight) coming to recruit them for an elite mission.

and on a meta level. bittersweet sixteen (beverly coming of age in the feywild) now for kenna's coming of age. a miracle child ("somebody who felt they could never have a child is holding their child") for callie soothing marigold and telling her about all their allies. torn apart (moonshine ripping open the rift to the feywild) for calder taking on the feywild's magic and saving it. oh, melora! (the boobs use the elements to heal the living wood, burning it, tilling the earth, bringing the water back, making things grow) for the serpents healing the feywild. a tale's end for our goodbye.

the frog, the frost giant, and the fairy. their songs from ezry. (for calder and sol, the songs from their intros)-- for each of their epilogues. showing just how far they've come

Y'know I had a theory about Varric before the reveal.

Because even from the beginning, him getting stabbed with the dagger specifically... was weird. I kept thinking about the dagger still glowing while lodged in his chest, how that dagger was used for Solas' big ol' ritual so there had to be a lot of power in it when he stabbed him... but somehow Varric survived.

That should've killed him [and it did! but shhhh-] but I wake up, and there he is.

Alright. He's fine, he's recovering. He's older now, he can't just bounce back from a stab to the chest like that, and I guess his leg got messed up given he's wearing a brace. Okay, this is how we're setting up Rook as in charge. Fine.

At first I was really good about checking on him just to hear his bits of dialogue, whether it be about the companions or about how he wishes he could get moving.

Something about it felt very... off. Very weird. I kept trying to figure out how the hell he survived getting stabbed like that, with the dagger, and then falling the way he did... and I started to wonder if maybe the fade saved him... that maybe the fade and the lighthouse were the only things keeping him alive.

Once that thought hit me, I was like.... oh fuck, is that going to be the reveal? Is he going to have a little exclamation point on his icon at some point? Is he going to ask to go somewhere because he's feeling better and he could use some fresh air? Maybe go out for a drink? And when we leave the fade, is he going to collapse like he's been stabbed all over again?

Are we going to learn that Varric's trapped?

Is the big reveal going to be that Varric can never go home? That he can never go back to Kirkwall? That Solas fucking doomed him to this... this purgatory state where he can't go home but can't move forward, not really? Because he's trapped in the lighthouse forever unless he chooses to die?

Are my choices going to ultimately affect his fate?

But then I started to forget about Varric... because he didn't do much. More time went on. The plot thickened. I became preoccupied with my companions. Sometimes he'd jumpscare me by being at meetings. I checked on him less and less.

I started to dread that oh.... alright, well maybe they brought Varric back because he's a fan favorite and they didn't actually have much planned for him after he got hurt.... but something's still fucking weird.

And I was right, something was indeed weird because then I got the reveal in the regret prison and I was............ Unwell.

I'm still unwell.

But I guess the fact that he can't ever go back home remains true, so...

If harrow decides to destroy the entire universe to get Gideon back she will be right to do so. Imo

?????? Why did he tell me everything was fine if my insurance requires me to have been on hormones for 2 years to approve the procedure. . .why didn't he say they won't approve it if that wasn't the case. . .is that outdated information???? Maybe we can lie????

Am i seriously about to have all of my fucking hype crushed???? Maybe I can convince my doctors to lie for me or we can say I was doing it DIY for a few years. People ask how long I've been on hormones a lot because my voice is pretty deep and I look pretty masculine surely we could get away with this???

I feel really fucking beaten down now. Why not stop the discussion and go 'hey they require X amount of time on hormones'. . .I really hope I can convince my providers to fudge the truth for me a little or i'm going to lose my mind i seriously don't know how well i'm going to take it if i can't get this done???? Like I already feel so anxious at the thought. Please everything about me needs this. I am going to go fucking insane if this can't happen this year.

The thing about the eyes is also why I love to headcanon sasuke as a quiet ogler.....

Even if he's the one who gets in the mood first or he's blushing and already hard, he'll just sit and stare at you from across the room with such a burning, unadulterated want in his eyes. Until you meet his gaze, and then it only takes that one look before you find that you're the one closing the distance.

real tears running down my cheeks as we speak

Out of context vampire!Bojan :

“I want you to hurt me.”

“I do hurt you!” Bojan sputters, indignant.

Jan rolls his eyes. “You treat me like glass.”

Well that was

Huh

[madegeeky]

Apparently my brain has just decided it's done with everything and has decided it's time for a stay-at-home vacation. Like, it's there but it's not answering any work calls. And I think it's smoking pot but, like, without me which is a weird sensation.

Anyway, what all this means is after 7 days of shit sleep I appear to have gone past exhausted into something that, I imagine, is similar to the way one feels when high. I'm also feeling my personal brand of manic: bad typing (y'all, this post took me so much longer than it should have) and talking too fast, too loud, too much. And I keep feeling I'm opening my eyes too wide but I can't tell of that's actually true or not. And, I don't know of any other way to explain it, but I feel dizzy but without actually being dizzy.

In a weird fucking place today, friends.

Mike johnson has so god damn much blood on his hands, obviously Ukrainian blood, but also plenty of American blood

Refusing to renew something that helps vets exposed to atomic blast and Americans who were downwind of the fall out... it's just sick. I can't fucking stand mike johnson, he's one of the worst scum to ever be in congress, and that's fucking saying something

"Johnson refused to allow House members to vote on bipartisan legislation to renew and improve the program"

Fucking quivering little pimple seems to have a real MO for just wringing his hands while insisting it's not his fault, he just can't do the one fucking part of his job of putting shit up to a vote... oh boo hoo, so sad, he'll just have to unilaterally let funding expire on things instead of literally just putting it up to our elected representatives to see if they want to vote yay or nay

Single handedly make the choices but it's not his fault when they work out how they do

Murderer
