#i've been very patient and trusting of the cast

[pstelwitchcraft]

Listen, I am happy to see Brennan take the DM seat, and I hope I've understood this incorrectly and we'll still get the main cast, but after seeing that guest list I believe there is simply no way they could fit all 8 main campaign characters + all of these people (amazing ppl by the way, truly nothing but love for them) at the table. And idk... I've started to get disappointed. Bc the thing is I love these characters, I love the Bells Hells, I love Sam's new character he JUST introduced, I love having Dorian with us again and cannot wait to see him deal with the repercussions of Cyrus' death. I love the Imogen and Laudna drama. I love whatever Fearne and Ashton got going on, I love Orym and his weird fey pact. I LOVE them.

And just... recently, I cannot shake the feeling that this is not their campaign. We JUST got them back from the Crownkeepers special episode. Before that, they've gotten separated for a pretty extensive period of time on opposite sides of Exandria. FCG just DIED. Yes, they have communication issues but I feel like that has to do, also, with the fact that every time it seems like they're finding some sort of groove, something like this happens. I get wanting to do something different and a trip to the past before Aeor collapsed IS really exciting, but it straight up feels lame and like they're trying to shove as many people into the table as possible when a major arc like this doesn't have the presence of the LITERAL main characters without them at least being separated again.

Also, don't think I don't see the bias from ya'll. Aabria had ONE episode that was significantly more important and related to the actual plot of the campaign and ya'll were clawing at her neck saying "this should have been a one shot!!!". If Brennan gets 3 freaking special calamity episodes only slightly related to the main plot and ya'll don't let out a peep I am literally fighting you in a parking lot. If this pans out the way I think it will then this absolutely should not be in the main campaign and could stand alone just like Calamity. I could totally be wrong, and I hope I am and they somehow found a way to fit 15 people at the table, but right now it's not looking too good and I cannot understate how sad I am. We just got them back! I want to meet Braius! 😫 Please, PLEASE, let them have their proper moment for us to know him 🙏

Caleb POV Shadowgast Recs

This week, we're featuring fics from Caleb's Point of View! Check out seven fics beneath the cut, and as always - comment and kudos if you like them!

babe, there's something magic about you by hoper_dreamer (11482, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

"Two very complicated, broken people finally able to find love after healing as individuals can take time..." Or: What happens when two wizards quietly, deeply in love with each other move in together.

Reccer says: It carries through with the slow burn style romance that these two are known for with both soft moments, fluff, and spiciness.

If Essek Were of a Mood by OkaySoWereDoinThis (3572, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

The day after destroying the T-dock chamber, Essek overhears Caleb’s predictions about their future and has Things To Say about that.

Reccer says: Caleb's tendency to get caught up in his head over worries is interesting to see from his perspective.

heatwave (EROS) by principessa (1487, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Just the wizards making the best of the summer heat in Nicodranas while on vacation. VERY smutty.

Reccer says: It's sweet and fond and perfectly hot. (Both literally and figuratively.)

handmade worlds by Anonymous (5490, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

There is something incredibly flattering about the thought that one of the most gifted mages Caleb has ever known has found one of Caleb’s own spells worth figuring out for himself.

Reccer says: The fic tag says it all: the inherent intimacy of wizards casting towers for each other.

Slip the Blindfold by timbrene (6024, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

In Aeor, Caleb and Essek find themselves separated, with Caleb temporarily blinded and forced to rely on Essek's guidance through the dark.

Reccer says: It's a great pre-relationship fic, with Caleb thinking about his feelings for Essek and placing his trust in him.

come back to me (i've been waiting patiently) by glossolali (1287, Mature) Reccer's Content Notes: PTSD flashbacks

Memory overtakes Caleb, but Essek is at his side

Reccer says: This is an empathetic hurt/comfort fic about dealing with PTSD flashback, and it's so sweet and soothing

Home In Your Arms by eeveev (2276, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

After defeating the Weave Mind, Caleb reunites with Essek. Reccer says:  sweet and cathartic, I love a reunion

This is one of our weekly communally-generated shadowgast rec lists. Every week we announce a new theme and allow anyone to submit a fic recommendation. 

And hey, anyone includes you!

Next week, we'll be reccing fics featuring asexuality/demisexuality! Any fics coming to mind? Well, then use this form to submit!

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

sort of personal but I just want to let my thoughts out on some of the characters 😅 I'm a person who LOVES falling asleep in the passenger seat in a car, the whole noise and vibrations going on are just perfect for me, even though I can't nap during the day time usually. BUT (!) I also only fall asleep when I know and trust the driver (e.g. a random Uber driver I'd probably like to stay awake)

So i was wondering: who in the cast would I trust enough to sleep next to in a car? My list: Shinichiro(he's a really good driver), Mitsuya (he's a cutie patootie, I've mentally married him hehe), Draken (same as with Mitsuya, he's got that calm and responsible vibe most of the time), Angry (I like to think he's a good car driver too), Takemichi (he might not be the best driver but I really like his character, he doesn't have any bad intentions in that regard), Inupi (cutie patootie #3), Kakucho (cute patootie #4) and Emma (idk whether it's canon that she has a license or whether she'd get one, but I feel like she'd be a patient driver)

Characters I would NOT trust: Smiley (he's a good driver I think, but he SCARES the hell out of me personally), the Haitanis (not with Ran's blind ass, he'd crush us into a tree😭, Rindou would be better but he's low-key a menace), Izana, Mochi and Muto (all are very scary and seem easy to anger (traffic)), Hakkai, surprisingly (i think he'd be anxious, even if he could drive) and Senju (I love her but my guts tell me she'd be an ABSOLUTE MENACE on the road 😭)

For the rest, I think it depends on the situation. There are some, like Shion, where I'd rather jog next to the car because you can't tell me that he wouldn't be a terrible driver 💀

Lolz, I wanted to share that. Feel free to judge (gently pls) or comment on it, or make your own version!! <33 love your blog btw, it inspired me to make these kinds of silly scenarios hihi

Those are pretty good lists actually! I don't think I would trust Takemichi, Senju or Takeomi, they are the 3 worst drivers after all and although I don't think any of them would do anything on purpose they are the 3 worst for a reason. Meanwhile the 3 best are Shinichiro, Mikey and Wakssa, I do think Shinichiro and Wakasa would both be good choices. Mikey is more of a 50/50 though, he is the 2nd best driver and I don't think he'd do anything on purpose but he definitely can get a bit reckless at times. Mitsuya and Draken are both good, Angry drove with a heavily injured Takuya on his bike so is likely a good choice. Inui and Kakucho both seem solid too. We don't have confirmation if Emma ever drives or not but tbh I like to think she does since Shinichiro taught both his other siblings and I can't imagine him leaving her out, even if she doesn't have a bike I feel like she at least knows how. I'd also add Baji to this list, he did drive with Mikey sleeping on his back once and made it safely (even carried him up a bunch of stairs). Then I feel like Chifuyu and Pah would both be pretty good choices too.

As for the rest of the bad choices, Smiley probably wouldn't be great yeah, could also see the Haitani's purposely trying to mess with you a bit like wake you up during this time, would probably tease you once you woke up too. I feel like with Izana and Mucho it depends on who you are to them, both have been shown to be caring at times and I could see them swallowing their potential annoyance if it's for someone they care for. It's definitely a good thing Hakkai doesn't drive lmao. I feel like Shion would try to show off and go too fast or something.

[thinkatoryprocess]

A show I haven't been talking about that I've been really into is The Pitt. I have a history with medical dramas (ER as a kid, House, Grey's) so I was already in, but the writing for this show is truly next-level. Ensemble cast, everyone is interesting, and it makes you question your biases and your first takes on characters. It's not just that the doctors feel real, the patients and their families feel very real, too, with independent emotions and motivations outside of just being props for drama for the doctors. That is not a given for a medical drama, trust me.

Noah Wyle is just blowing me away, but there are a lot of unknowns in this cast doing huge heavy lifting who keep surprising me. (IIRC the guy who plays Langdon has literally only one other credit to his name? Like, wow.) I find myself talking about this show a lot with my partner, and we watch it pretty much right away when it gets released on Max. Big fan.

[nekococo-thecola]

Hello!!!! I've been following some of your works recently, so I was wondering if you do sem-crossovers? If so, how would the Blocktales cast react to a gn! player/reader that came from the spawn cult? perhaps like Two time but much more relaxed and chill like the usual Player, though holds the same beliefs and odd quirks, and maybe even holds the same voices that haunt Two time (perhaps it's a little angsty with the fluff)

Bonus if the Player/reader also has a second life like Two time? Thank you ^^=

EMERGES FROM THE CANAL Absolutely! ^w^

EHEM!

(Btw sorry for not posting any headcanons for like, a LONG while, I just got a little burned out, + too hot in my area making me move like a SLOTH, but uhh I hope you have a great day! And please be patient, and wait for more! Alright, thank you so much for the support I've been receiving, I couldn't be more thankful. OvO!)

BLOCKTALES CAST (REACTS) TO GN! READER CULT MEMBER! (Like Two Time.)

Cruel king:

• He would be very confused, and very, VERY wary about you at first, as he would think that you were about to sacrifice his kingdom and citizens, so, best solution? Keep a close eye on you, keep his guards alert on your presence.

• He would also hear more voices, "Who is that?", "You're in trouble!!", "Destroy them..", it grew so terribly, that he looked more stressed and grow more tired. And eventually, he sent his guards to find a doctor, or a psychologist in his kingdom that would be willing to help him listen to his troubles.

• And?.. They eventually found you.

• He was (reasonably) surprised, and a bit more angry and shocked at his guards, when he, and they SPECIFICALLY knew that you were dangerous. (The only reason he hasn't imprisoned you yet, was because you were only using animals as sacrifices, not robloxians + He MIGHT lose a few guards from your sacrifices, and wrath.).

• But, when the guards told him that it would be okay, and that YOU offered to help him. He grew more dumbfounded, shocked, even. But, knowing that the voices would grow more and more unbearable, he begrudgingly complied.

• After a few treatments and medicines, and ailments, you wrote down for him a prescription about what he should do, consume, and what time he should do it. He slowly realized, you weren't as dangerous as he thought before.

• He then started a conversation, telling you the reason, well, not exactly the whole true reason why the voices appeared in the first place. (You'd probably get curious and steal the Ice Dagger-)

• Overall, it's kinda like emotionless x tired of everything. (But still loves you 0_0-) You'd both be a good match tho! (If you actually stop creeping him out with your antics/if he got used to your antics.)

• You'd have to gain his trust first and then start to make him realize you were harmless. And then probably start courting him if you wanna make the first move.

Red Noob x Blue Noob

(PLATONIC ONLY FOR THEM.):

• During a mission, they were causing chaos (of course.). And rummaging through useful items and supplies, and as they were running away from the authorities, they suddenly bumped against a figure wearing a coat.

• As Red Noob was quite frankly, very annoyed. As he loudly questioned who you were, and why you were at a place like this. And when you didn't respond, Red Noob took out their sword, and threateningly (nah not really that threatening, bro's a short tempered child.. 😭🙏) warned you to move aside, or else.

• You slowly turned around, as Blue Noob froze beside Red Noob. As she slowly realized who you were. Before you spoke up in a quiet, & still voice.

".. Who are you to

speak with such false

bravado, young man?"

• Gaining up the courage to muster something to Red, she slowly muttered to whom you were, as Red also froze, his eyes wide in shock, as he, and Blue took a step back, and retreated in fear.

• You, who was completely unfazed the whole time, stared at the figure of both of the children fade, as you continued doing your own thing.

• And when they both see you again, they'd quickly, yet quietly flee, afraid of meeting your wrath, (or get team ambushed by the cult- 😭).

• Overall, they would NOT want to mess with you, or make fun of you, ESPECIALLY when they're in front of you, nope, that's a death wish.

- (But if you were like, friendly towards them, they'd see you as a parental figure and ask you to teach them how you do those rituals.)

GR13F3R (When he became corrupted by Venomshank.):

• You'd meet him in the jungle, as you gathered enough supplies for your liking, as you heard distant ruffling and things being broken.

• Quietly, and cautiously, you creeped closer, and eventually saw a Corrupted Gr13f3r, causing unimaginable chaos to a town as he held the Venomshank in his hand, before noticing your presence.

「 ... Y0u.. WH0 4R3 Y0U.」

• He demanded, you, silent while your identity was still hidden under your cloak, spoke.

".. It is quite none of your

business, and, frankly a matter

of fact, it isn't your business to

cause havoc either, young man."

• Gr13f3r went still, as he stared at you, eye-to-eye, and spoke up coldly with false bravado.

「.. Wh4t did y0u just s4y?」

• He said, as a few citizens, and those who were reinjured, looked at you with horror, some, even had hope.

".. You heard me."

• You said, before taking out your own sword.

".. Now, shall we skip this useless

and fight like true men?"

• You asked, as he tightened his grip on the Venomshank, before charging.

「.. Y0U'LL P4Y F0R WH4T

Y0U JUST S41D,

B R 4 T.」

• And in a blink of an eye, he charged towards you, as the fight immediately began and growing intensely, each blow and strike slowly getting stronger. And then..

• You landed the final blow, as Gr13f3r fell on the ground from exhaustion, as he looked at you, filled with hatred and contempt.

「 .. Y0u.. 」

• You, approaching him slowly, suddenly stopped as you were face to face with him, with an emotionless look on your face. As then, he closed his eyes, and thought that it was the end.. You gave him a lifting hand, as Gr13f3r stared at you, in shock.

• He hesitantly took it, as you simply turned around, walking away.

".. Next time, don't fight with

me, unless you're asking for

an easy hit."

• You said, before disappearing, leaving him in a shocked state.

(He'd definitely cause more chaos, that's for sure, but, he'll consider sparing you next time fate leads you to each other.)

PLSSSS ENJOY THIS OMAHGOD MY BRAINS ALMOST EXPLODED.

[zakequaznook]

...so I may have binged what's currently out of the dr. Stone anime.

And let me just say its a

MASTERPIECE!!!

I've been vaguely aware of this series science the first episode aired but I never got into it then. I WISH I DID OMFG!

I love our main boy Senku with his outside aloofness and bluntness but is 'secretly' incredibly caring of his friends and people (and who is totally nerotypical (sarcasm btw))

I adore the supporting cast and their immense enthusiasm for science and their unwavering faith in Senku

And that fact the villains most of the time become friends or at least begrudging allies *cough* tsukasa, hyoga, mezu, *cough* and the fact that it's Not an instant "oh you were bad now your not". The cast very obviously Do Not trust hyoga not to backstage them if it becomes convenient for him to

I also may or may not have not been patient so I went and found the manga online and read it. I won't put spoilers but

OMFG IT GET EVEN BETTER

So expect some Dr. Stone content from me in the future

OR NOW

Also there's too many guys to choose from so give me some requests and I'll do my best!!

[moonselune]

Ah! I've been so excited to put in a request! I adore the way you write Minthara, can I request her with a trans woman Tav but she hasn't told Minthara yet? Maybe as a former assassin it's not often that she gets nervous, but she knows the way drow perceive men in the Underdark and that her transition probably wouldn't be accepted in Menzobarrenzen. She meant to tell Minthara but ⭐️the stars haven't aligned yet.⭐️ Maybe if things were heading in a s p i c y direction and then she just stops, and Minthara notices she looks terrified, despite barely getting scared at all. Showing emotion is hard and asking for comfort is impossible lol but she is very prepared for Minthara to hate her.

Sorry if it's a super long ask, I've just been really excited to put in a request! It's based on my embrace Durge Tav and despite the bad things she does i love her very much! She's a tiefling named Anika!

Ahhh thank you so much !!! And no worries it was a super fun concept to work with !

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Minthara Baenre x Transfem!reader | Who you are

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The fire crackles in the stillness, casting long shadows around you and Minthara, and normally, this kind of setting would relax you. But tonight, it only sharpens your nerves, your heart pounding at the edge of your throat. She’s close, closer than she has been in a while, and for once, you can’t find the words to meet her with.

You, a trained assassin—someone who never shied from the edge of a blade or the threat of death—were struggling to voice a simple truth. A truth that felt as if it could shift her entire perception of you, leaving you open, vulnerable, at her mercy.

Minthara doesn’t move, her eyes focused and piercing, but not unkind.

“You’re distracted,” she notes, her words laced with observation rather than reprimand. She cocks her head, reading every flicker of your expression with a precision that has you feeling even more laid bare. “I know this is unusual for you,” she adds, raising a brow, “and it must be serious if it renders you so silent.”

Her voice holds a gentleness rarely heard from her—strong but urging you forward. She reaches out, her hand finding yours, and she clasps it, warm and grounding. It’s the smallest touch, yet it manages to unravel the threads of composure you’ve fought to hold on to.

“Speak your truth,” she says again, softly, her voice dipping low as if the words are meant only for you. Her fingers curl around yours with a kind of certainty, a firm reminder that you are here, now, in her presence, and whatever you fear sharing will not be cast aside so lightly.

Your mouth goes dry, heart stammering, but under her watchful gaze, you find the courage to begin.

“Minthara, there’s�� something I’ve meant to tell you,” you say, swallowing thickly. Each word feels pulled from a deep place inside you, your pulse loud in your ears as the truth finally begins to surface. “It’s something I should have told you long ago.”

You pause, struggling for air, her eyes steady, patient. There’s no room for fear or silence now; you know you have to say it, let her see you, raw and unfiltered.

“I wasn’t… always seen as I am now,” you manage, voice barely above a whisper. You clench her hand in yours, finding some strength in the way she holds on, unyielding. “I was born a man,” you continue, the words spilling out in a rush. “I… transitioned years ago, outside Menzoberranzen’s reach. I feared that… that if you knew, you’d see me as…” The weight of the words nearly chokes you. “Less.”

A fragile, tense silence falls between you both as you brace for her reaction. It’s the vulnerability of the confession—the fear that she could so easily wound you—that has you ready for the worst, prepared for the sneer or cutting remark that would slice through what little trust you had placed in her.

But Minthara does not flinch. Her expression remains unchanged, but there’s a warmth in her eyes, a spark that tells you she’s not simply humoring you. Instead, she studies you, her thumb tracing a gentle line over the back of your hand. When she finally speaks, her words are as steady as her gaze.

“You assume I’m bound by the hollow beliefs of the Underdark,” she murmurs, her tone rich with conviction and tinged with something softer, almost fond. “But I left that place for reasons beyond my loyalty to Lolth. I came here to be free, free of their small-minded chains.” She leans closer, her gaze never wavering. “You are a woman because you are meant to be. You stand here because you have claimed your identity, no matter what hardship it brought.”

The tightness in your chest loosens slightly, a flicker of hope taking root as she continues.

“Your strength,” she says, her voice soft yet unyielding, “is not simply in your resilience. It is in this—your honesty, even when it frightens you.” Her fingers trace the line of your jaw, and she tilts your chin up so you have no choice but to meet her eyes. “And do you think, for even a moment, that I would view you as anything less? Knowing what you have overcome?”

Her words settle over you like a warm cloak, comforting in a way you hadn’t dared to imagine. You feel the weight of years of secrecy and fear slowly dissipating under her fierce gaze. She squeezes your hand, a silent reassurance, and you realize that her acceptance is not conditional or reluctant. It’s absolute.

Slowly, as though pulling yourself from a trance, you give her a faint nod. The fear that had choked you loosens, and you feel your shoulders drop, a sigh escaping your lips as you lean into her touch.

Minthara’s lips quirk into the smallest, genuine smile, a rare expression on her usually severe face.

“Good. Now stop looking at me as if I’m about to strike you down,” she says, a teasing edge to her voice, her fingers brushing a loose strand of hair from your face. Her expression shifts, a hint of pride glimmering in her eyes. “You have survived far too much to doubt yourself here, with me.”

With a rare, tender touch, she brings her forehead to rest against yours. Her breathing is steady, a quiet rhythm that soothes your frayed nerves.

“Let us take this moment as it is,” she murmurs, her voice barely above a whisper, but it holds a kind of power that echoes deep within you. “Free of judgment, free of fear. Let us find the strength to meet each other fully.”

For a moment, you simply exist together in silence, her forehead resting against yours, her steady presence grounding you. Her acceptance, her quiet, unwavering support, becomes a balm you hadn’t realized you so desperately needed. And slowly, you allow yourself to breathe, to let go of the years of fear, the doubt that had weighed so heavily on your heart.

“I can do that,” you whisper, a small smile finally breaking through.

Minthara hums approvingly, her hand coming to rest on your cheek with a softness you rarely saw from her. "Then you and I shall find a path to freedom together,” she says, a promise threading through her words.

And in that moment, for the first time in so long, you feel truly seen and accepted—whole and unbroken.

Ten Opening Lines Tag

thank you @willtheweaver for the tag!

Rules: list the first line of the last ten (10) stories you published. Look to see any patterns you noticed yourself, and see if anyone else notices any.

i have a mix of first lines from both (unfinished) wips and pieces of writing i've posted on here, which i will put a link to. in no particular order, we have:

The Silence In-Between Niev is not beyond admitting that ice shoots through his heart when Mora harriedly knocks at the door to Lukiat's study, words spilling out of her mouth in a garbled cascade.

No More Than This The lights of the ballroom flicker and glimmer with golden opulence.

Wildfires The dark curtain of clouds casts muffled silence over the city, so thick it even blocks out the moon.

At First Light The air is heavy; perfectly still too, as if the very night were readying itself.

Elegy to the Desperate Stars There are no stars that shine over Milan.

Requiem of the Breathing Worlds Ziphia's south slums are a lawless, forsaken land that reeks of blood.

In Destiny We Trust (Not) Smog and humidity weigh heavy in the air and cling to the skin, pervasive in the summer heat that’s growing torrid.

The Lost Sea Symphony Talia is a good daughter; she cares for the house, tends to the farm and the animals, and waits patiently.

The Mortal God Aren had been born with opal eyes and gold under his skin and a cry like that of faeries, and his father had loved to tell him that he had scared the midwife to tears and that the poor woman had barely left her house since.

Behind the Picket Fence Years ago, back when Rían still lived in his father's house and went over to Oliver's place every other evening to look for colleges, the two of them and Sophie had written down in tipsy giddiness a list of things terrifying to hear at witching hour.

apparently i have a thing for a quick ambient setting with feeling

i am gonna tag for this @aalinaaaaaa @elkieselkiewrites and @write-with-will, plus an open tag for anyone who wants in

[destinyc1020]

Idk about you but I wanna know what those fans that were always complaining to your blog that nobody "good" wants to work with Tom are thinking right now. They were so deep into the filmtwt narrative of Tom they didn't even listen when we tried to tell them that its very likely that Tom is just doing what he wants to do at the moment and it's not likely that everyone in Hollywood "hates" him. I hope the Nolan casting helps them trust the process a little more. We might want things to happen for our faves now but at the end of the day they are human not just content for us so they will do things when they want to. (And it's why having multiple fave is a good thing too like you always say).

I kind of wonder what they're thinking too lol. 🤭

I kept telling people that we as fans just need to be patient, and that IF Tom wants to work with certain directors and actors, then it will happen.... eventually.

I think the problem is that some of these fans allow what strangers on Twitter think to affect how THEY think and feel about a particular actor, instead of using their own heads and thinking for themselves.

I also feel that some of these fans are way too invested in someone else's life. As for me? I think for myself. If I like someone, I like someone... period. I don't allow others to change my mind. Also, I've always been a very causal and passive fan of ANYONE that I'm a fan of. I may not like every single decision my fave makes in life, but I don't allow that to make me lose sleep, or hate the actor or anything like that.

I for sure am not losing any sleep over any actor's career. 😒 To me, that's the silliest reason to stop being a fan of someone. Do you all know how many actors I've been a fan of who had deadbeat careers, who didn't work for YEARS, and who aren't even a sliver as successful as Tom is? 😅 We as fans just continued to support them, and were just happy whenever they had a new project coming out. In the meantime, in between, we just continued to like other actors that we were fans of. When you have multiple faves, one sole actor doesn't become your whole focus, and you enjoy the process more imo.

Maybe it's just because I've been a fan of MANY actors over the years since I was a kid, so I've seen the ebb and flow of many actors and their careers, so that's why I'm usually never worried. 🤷🏾‍♀�� I just go with the flow. And even if a favorite actor of mine has taken a break (or even left Hollywood altogether), I just trust that they're doing what's right for THEM. I respect that actor enough to realize that it's not my life, so whatever they decide to do with their career is THEIR choice.

I keep saying, as long as my faves are happy and healthy, then I'm happy for them... no matter what I may want for them. 😊

I hope the Nolan casting helps them trust the process a little more. We might want things to happen for our faves now but at the end of the day they are human not just content for us so they will do things when they want to.

Honestly? There are some who just want to complain, and some who are just nervous nellies, so no matter what happens, they won't change. Some supposed fans are also just ones who were trying to hate on Tom, so this new casting news isn't really making them all that happy, because their point was just to hate on Tom. (This goes for the haters also) 🤷🏾‍♀️ It was never really about the roles he was doing (or NOT doing). They were just using him as an internet punching bag. 🙄

So no, new casting news is not going to change the minds of those types of people. 😒

The only piece of advice that I would give Tom is that he might want to stop mentioning in interviews how much he hates Hollywood. 👀 That's like publicly bad-mouthing your employer, and then wondering why you're not getting any promotions lol. 😅

I'm pretty sure that there are many things that some actors don't like about Hollywood, but imo it might be best to just keep some of those things to yourself if you're really wanting to work with certain filmmakers or get certain roles in the industry. Or, he might just want to re-phrase the way he says certain things when it comes to his feelings about Hollywood. That would be my only advice. 😊

It's almost tantamount to the same thing we say about JE and him always mentioning how much he hated the KB movies, and how he felt they were so awful and beneath him. It's like, okay.... We get it. But at the end of the day, people worked hard on those films, and if you want to continue to get more work, maybe it wouldn't be good to bash your previous films so harshly? 👀

You can dislike certain aspects of the industry (I'm sure most actors have a whole list of things they probably don't like lol 😂) without shouting it from the mountain tops. You can just keep some of those things to yourself, or, just word them in a certain type of way so that it doesn't come off as "anti-Hollowood", especially if they're employing you. Not everyone needs to know (or deserves to know) every single thought in your head. I would keep some of those complaints and vents to my close friends and family only lol. But I work in corporate, so maybe I'm just very cautious lol. 👀

That would be my only advice. Jmho

(And it's why having multiple fave is a good thing too like you always say).

EXACTLY! That's why it's so important. 👏🏾 Not only does it help because then you're not putting all your eggs in one basket and then getting upset when your one or two faves aren't doing what you want them to do, but it also helps to diversify your taste in actors, in movies, and just in general! I think you end up enjoying the film industry a LOT more when you watch films from a variety of different actors. It makes your life more colorful. 😃

You're also less anxious about your faves and their careers because you follow a LOT of actors careers that you enjoy. 😉

Jmho 🤷🏾‍♀️

"dr character analysis anon" again, hi. Saw the thing about Komamiki. I have...mixed feelings about that ship.

While Komahina does objectively have the most going for it, I'm personally a multi-shipper for Nagito. I think the fandom really sleeps on a lot of the ship potential he has with some of the other cast. Admittedly most of the potential is with male characters. But outside of some fun platonic BroTPs (like Sonia and Nagito), I'd say there are 2.5 good f/m ships for Nagito. Komanami, Komazumi, and depending on the writer, Komamiki. Because a writer I know who's played around with it over the years has done some pretty interesting stuff.

Now I say "2.5" because like...I have noticed a REALLY weird pattern with Komamiki. In that it seems to be the main Nagito ship pushed by fans who are incredibly harsh on the character and vocally against Komahina. Who are typically also Hinanami shippers. I've even pointed out examples to that writer, and they found it pretty baffling too.

Like one of the most insane takes I've ever seen (and the writer wholeheartedly agreed with me despite being only mildly into Komahina) was someone pointing to Komamiki as "a healthier alternative to Komahina". Because like...one of the most interesting things to explore about the ship is that it has a high probability of turning quite ugly and toxic. And to actually get a healthy Komamiki outcome requires quite a bit more work than most other Nagito ships. Like one of those good Komamiki stories I read had both of them go through therapy before meeting again as adults after Hope's Peak closed down (a kind of non-Despair AU).

Yet those detractors of Nagito seem to really think that they could just hit it off pretty quickly. And that Nagito's worship of Ultimates would be a boon to Mikan's self-confidence. As well as Mikan being a nurse making her a perfect partner for Nagito. Which is just...no. A happy relationship between Nagito and an Ultimate should have him gradually come to see them as a partner and an equal. And Mikan's FTEs show exactly why giving her a partner medically dependent on her is a TERRIBLE idea. She would need to come to terms with just how unhealthy her desire for control over her patients is before having a partner like that.

So yeah, tldr, I think Komamiki can be an interesting ship to explore, but I can't help but view some of the people pushing it with a bit of mistrust. Like I almost wonder if a handful of them are doing so in bad faith. And perhaps they actually do want Nagito to end up in an unhealthy co-dependent relationship where his partner has power over him.

ok see i agree with a lot of the points here ive always been interested in the komaeda mikan dynamic, just platonically. because i cannot see him liking women romantically (or her liking men romantically) at ALL like i just cannot see it. their dynamic is very intriguing from what little hints of it we get from chapter 3 its just that in my eyes they wouldnt be toxic lovers theyd be gods worstest girlfrenemies. i support the dynamic i do not support it romantically lol. and also id never trust a komamiki shipper like ever at all because of what you outlined . its like how youre always suspicious to trust junkan shippers because their dynamic can be interesting to explore but it has to be handled carefully to be brought justice yaknow.

Etta! Which story have you been enjoying most lately? What character is your current fave?

I've had a lot of fun thinking about the Otherworld Explorer's Club! I really like Jade because I've been watching a lot of Dr. Who with my boyfriend and she's inspired by the concept of the companions (and all the shit they had to go through) and all the analysis that comes with watching a show as convoluted as Dr. Who with the resident writer brain. He's very patient I must pause the show every five minutes to start rambling about implications and character arcs.

Anyhow Jade is interesting to me because her mentor, who I'm going to call Professor Frizzi, genuinely cared about Jade, but she also tricked her, multiple times, and manipulated her decisions to fit as a pawn in her schemes. It was all for good reasons to protect her, to teach her, to lead her to discoveries instead of just telling her what's going on, it was all part of the experience. Jade knew she never had all the cards but she was ok with that because she trusted the Professor to look out for her and give her the information she needed in due time. They were genuinely friends, albeit on a very uneven playing field.

But when the Professor realized she miscalculated, and had to trick Jade into going home, leaving her behind to fight for herself, it cast doubt over all of that. Jade doesn't know if the Professor died or survived without her. She questions if the Professor ever trusted her or took her seriously, or if she was just a tag along or a liability. She wonders how much of what she learned was all an extravagant lie. How many little betrayals did she let slide before it was too late? All her happy memories are tinged with this bittersweet and cynicism. She's a huge skeptic now and she needs to relearn how to look at the world with wonder and how to take leaps of faith.

[access--granted]

I'm bad at thinking on the spot, but I have some firm faves, lol. (Disclaimer, I accidentally wrote you an encyclopaedia, sorry!)

1. Jill. REmake was my first game early this year and I played as her. It's what sucked me into fullblown brainrot lmfao. I've played most of the series now and for the most part, Jill has remained one of the most consistent and realistic female characters throughout the series (imo). I mean, I've never looked at my screen an thought "has the director ever seen her character before? What the hell is this?" Which in RE is a rare occurrence lmfao! She isn't super, overly sexualised and I honestly just thoroughly enjoy her personality and story. She knows who she is and what her goals are. Death Island absolutely solidified this for me. It made me feral, I stg. Her arc was phenomenal. I want a brand new Jill campaign. I need her as a main game character again soon. She's one of the best. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE WITH CHRIS KILLING WESKER INSTEAD OF SHEVA SOMEBODY HAS TO SAY IT. An original that holds her own. Just... *chefs kiss*.

2. Claire. Similar reasons to Jill. She has clear motivations and a good arc. Her campagin is my favourite part of RE2make and I think it's shamefully underrated. I found her realtionship with Sherry a lot more significant than Leons and honestly, her A playthrough was just... better? That's perisnal opinion though. I wish they'd let this woman buy a new outfit. She's worn the same jacket since '98. Recycling queen I guess, lmfao. I don't think people really give her enough attention or credit. She's incredibly kind and patient but could also beat me to a pulp. Phenomenal.

3. Chris. Okay, a few iffy portrayals but he's overall a very solid character. I like him so much because he's a "terrifying but actually very soft and huggable" trope in my mind, lmao. I can't shake the Awkward Father vibe, no matter how many 400lbs machine guns he plays around with. I just think he's very tired and wants to watch a football game with friends. Give him a break.

4. Ethan Winters. It's fucking Ethan Winters. Ethan and Rose were excellent new additions to the cast. I adored them. They were something different, refreshing, realistic (minus the lego man hands... dude's made of mold tho so...) and just very likeable. Dude just chills in the background at functions wanting to go home.

5. Leon. Leon's equally one of the most interesting but frustrating protagonists. I think his OG progression is a complete mess. There's some parts I love, some parts I think make zero sense. I always got the sense that they wanted to be ambitious with Leon, but didn't know what the audience would and wouldn't accept. Does this man have a personality? Yes, we'll hint at one, but we absolutely must adhere to naughts cringe hero stereotype just incase. He often leaves me perplexed, but I enjoy him. He's fun to nitpick and study (and make fun of!!!) and he arguably has one of the most interesting long-term stories. I think remakes are going harder to bring this to light. At it's core, the Leon story is about his relationship with corruption, the government and how he deals with it and who to trust. It could be... SOMETHING. I think we're getting there. The changes in remakes are making it more and more possible. They're taking risks and it greatly benefits him as a character overall. He makes sense. He's understandable.

(PS a lot of this sounds like nonsensical jumbled ass, I'm so sorry lmao. I did not sleep and I need pain meds today bc hashtag chronic pain. If this message is total dumbassery jibberish you have my deepest apologies!)

Ahhh, hi! I absolutely love a good old encyclopedia ask, don't you worry. (And you're probably gonna get a long ass answer too, lmao).

REmake Jill is my favourite Jill. Her kick ass determination and personality are just so good. She was my first ever example of a strong female character as a kid, and she's always been my absolute fave. Totally agree with you that DI sold her to me even more. She desperately needs a new campaign in a mainline game ASAP, I've missed her too damn much.

I feel like Claire has had most hate in the franchise (in my personal experience, at least), and honestly, I don't get the whole "Claire is so annoying" crap I've seen people say in the past. She has good motivation. A college student going to search for her S.T.A.R.S member brother when she doesn't hear from him, only to survive a hellish night amidst a viral outbreak and cure a child? So badass.

Chris is 100% awkward dad vibes despite his badassery and boulder punching skills, no doubt about it. He's more sensitive than people understand him to be. (Which literally makes no sense, considering how broken he is whenever someone he cares about doesn't make it, lol). Let this man live, put his feet up and relax.

Ethan, my guy. I fucking love him so much. I remember how so many people hated him, back when RE7 first came out. "Oh, but he's just some random guy who is looking for his missing wife. How boring." Uh, isn't that what makes him so much more interesting? He's not an agent, or a S.T.A.R.S member, or whatever like the others are. He's a man willing to go above and beyond to save someone he loves. He gets put through so much shit and still selflessly sacrifices himself. What a guy.

Leon is a hot mess (affectionately). Capcom wanted to do things with OG Leon, and they just didn't know how to go about it. He's definitely a fun one to pick apart and analyse. You're right, though. I definitely think they could really polish what kind of character they want him to be with future installments since they've already gotten him to a pretty decent place already. I've always loved him, but he sure has been a roller coaster ride, hahaha.

Honestly, I always love getting long asks like this, especially from mutuals I wanna talk more to. It's just a shame I'm such a socially awkward coward and can't initiate conversation myself. 😂 I had a lot of fun answering this, so thank you, and I really hope you can rest up soon!

Professor Birthday Isn't Famous Episode 4 "TEEN" Thoughts

So, no fun, silly guests this week. But If you can't tell by the way this blog low-key turns into a Brian Holden fan page anytime I watch something he's in, I love me some Brolden. I think he's a comedic tour-de-force, overall delight, and just the bees-freaking-knees. So any episode that allows him to go nuts for an entire 13 minutes will be right up my alley.

And what a thirteen minutes it was!

I loved how the dynamic between Fritz and Professor Birthday turned completely inside out. Fritz has always been the patient-but-slightly-exasperated voice of reason to Professor Birthday's head-in-the-clouds emotional impulse, so it was super fun to see them swap roles. Professor Birthday is such a great character, and getting to see her operate as the sole responsible party and handle a serious situation with a professional competence really showed off another side of her. We got to see why, for all her eccentricity, she's the person who keeps Birthday University up and running. And the reveal that Fritz is secretly also a bit of a loose cannon who acts on impulse (really, Fritz? Eating mysterious chemicals??) and writes music adds a lot to him as well.

Speaking of, I've been thinking about the clip in Meredith Stepien's Professor Birthday vlog in which Jade (Eric Kahn Gale's wife) says she's sad because she thinks Fritz is genuinely in love with Professor Birthday, and Brian immediately agrees. Listening to this episode, and thinking about the larger context of the show (Fritz's endless patience, dedication, and passion for this trying podcast in which he plays a thankless role), that conversation makes a lot of sense. Poor buddy.

But the music! This is our first episode in which Professor Birthday herself doesn't sing, leaving Fritz to take center stage. And "I'm In Love With My Boss" is an absolute banger. Clark nailed that genre of pop-rock with parodic perfection and I knew exactly what we were in for from the very first second (the opening is very "Stacey's Mom"). It might not be the most intricately composed song in the soundtrack (God, I hope they release a cast album), but it might be the one I end up listening to the most. Trust me, guys. It's an absolute blast to head-bang to and sing along with, even if you don't actually love your own boss. And the choral version at the end is super fun too!

You know, I always find these sorts of portrayals of teens to be slightly overwrought. I've always been very good at staying outwardly calm and collected when around other people, and don't feel like I was any worse at that as a teen than I am as an adult. However, the joke about teens making art that's way less subtle and clever than they think it is hit home so hard that it instantly overcame any other misgivings.

I also liked that Brian's voice actually got a little deeper, instead of going for the squeaky teen-boy voice breaks. That choice really allowed the emotion Fritz was feeling to come though.

So, yeah, another banger of an episode! Like Professor Birthday herself, my only real, substantial complaint is that we didn't actually get to talk about birthday phone calls with extended relatives. Please, Eric, I would love to hear your take on those awkward societal observances. I hated them as a kid.

Quote of the episode: "Whatever feelings you might or might not have, just... repress them! :)". Professor Birthday, keeping it real about adulthood as always.

Boiling a Frog

What do you do when neurological degeneration creeps up on your spouse? Recently this "slave master" showed up at our door again, this heavy yoke that presented itself in a diagnosis 4 years ago. It has no time line, no appointments made. It just shows up again, and who knows when again. It doesn't care. How does anyone grieve something that is slow and yet so uncertain? Who endures this kind of unknown without fading?

I felt gutted, thinking that his mobility could be stabilized with physical exercises. I was only ever tormented by the idea of him completely losing his hearing. He is still continuing to lose his hearing. And who knows what else is being attributed to this condition. Should we now think of wheelchairs and ramps and adaptations? We have too many adventures yet to go on.

I felt raw in my flesh as we acknowledged the evidence. An intimidating heaviness like the breath of the beast of unkindness was in front of my face. The only way I could respond to it was through rage or nothing at all.

Then, I went to my Father, remembering my own prayer 4 years ago, that even if healing never happened in this lifetime, I still wanted to be a testimony of His goodness to us. I felt like such a fool. No one was going to care how well-behaved or "spiritual" I am or have been! I certainly don't. I was not going to pretend to "draw near to God" just to get the miracle for my husband. It seems, without this, I would absolutely fail to want to be close to God. Who cares.

Yet You showed me that You would generously heal my husband even if I was that sly. You are "gooder" than good like that.

I recognized that I was pitting my own Life Source against my husband's healing. The ultimate twisting of my Lord's arm to DO SOMETHING. But it does nothing but results in a kind of strange spiritual anorexia, starving myself for no good reason.

I have no faith of my own to muster up to believe. Yet I know God is no trickster like man. I can trust because He is the very essence of trustworthy. God plays no games in loving me and my husband. And through this, there is no reason to fear for perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment. He is not a punisher! And that which is fearful have yet to be perfected in love. O Good God!

Therefore, the door is wide open for me to draw close to God, to come boldly to the throne of grace, to ask for the miracle, declaring complete healing now, with no more need for justification. No shame. No fear. No more striving for the joy of our salvation. This Holy Sabbath has been since time began!

With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before You, the holy God! Yahweh, you are my soul's celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you've done for me? You kissed my heart with forgiveness, in spite of all I've done. You've healed me INSIDE AND OUT from every disease. You've rescued me from hell and saved my life. You've crowned me with love and mercy. You satisfy my every desire with good things....

Lord, you are so kind and tenderhearted to those who don't deserve it, and so patient with people who fail you! Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness...

You know all about us, inside and out. You are mindful that we're made from dust. Our days are so few, and our momentary beauty so swiftly fades away! Then all of a sudden we're gone, like grass clippings blown away in a gust of wind, taken away to our appointment with death, leaving NOTHING to show that we were here. But Lord, your endless love stretches from one eternity to the other, unbroken and unrelenting toward those who fear you and those who bow face down in awe before you.

-- Psalm 103 Passion Translation

[been a while since i did a lore post. sorry for the wait if you actually wanted to see my garbage lol. got a good couple of fics in the works right now. otherwise. enjoy this. i guess.]

[devastator's rolling around on the moon. intel says that there's an autobot outpost up here that lord megatron wants gone. he cites personal reasons. devastator assumes that his personal time's been interrupted more than once by the outpost somehow.]

[devastator spots a shining light across the vast lunar valley, so he stops to spy on whatever's casting it from long range. turns out: yup. autobot outpost. big one, too.]

D: lunar rover to ground control, i've spotted the target. how copy, over?

['ground control', in this case nebula, responds.]

N: loud and clear, lunar rover. give 'em a good old-style whoppin' for the boys back home. over.

D: roger, moving to devastate. over and out.

[devastator begins rolling once more, crossing the kilometer worth of valley between his cliff and the outpost's front gate in a couple of minutes.]

[An Autobot security personnel halts the unknown vehicle in its tracks.]

Guard: This is a high-tech Autobot outpost! Identify yourself!

[devastator aims for the face, and obliterates him.]

[The Autobot is decapitated, and his corpse glides smoothly away from the impact point, before coming to a controlled stop against the wall.]

[since sound doesn't travel on the moon very well, someone would've had to have seen this happen for the alarm to begin blaring... unfortunately for devastator, someone did see this happen, and so the alarm's lights flash red across the outpost.]

[devastator blasts the gate apart, and rolls in to fight the autobots inside.]

-

[...it only takes 30 minutes.]

D, in need of repairs: lunar rover to ground control: outpost liberated. what's next; over?

N: discussing what's next with the boys back at base. sit tight. over and out.

[devastator transforms, relishing in the destruction he caused to the lunar outpost while he waits for clarification. he hops around on one foot, the opposite leg's hip actuator having been damaged.]

-

N: boys. what's next?

BC: how's the outpost? any damage to speak of?

N: oh, yeah. it's damn well devastated.

BC: good to hear. let's have marrowbomber haul devastator and any good loot out from the wreck and call it mission accomplished.

N: i hear ya. transmitting to devs.

BC: make sure he returns in one piece - marrowbomber too. i hear the moon's dust particles are particularly brutal against our metal.

N: understood.

-

N: ground control to lunar rover: you're free to haul any worthwhile loot out from the outpost and get it home. over.

D: alright. how will i get it home; over?

N: same way you got to the surface: marrowbomber; over.

D: affirmative; moving to locate and contain the good stuff. over and out.

[devastator searches the compound for some good loot to bring home, and finds a bunch of resources such as experimental weapon blueprints and schematics for new vehicle modes. he even finds a nice lunar rover to bring along for the ride.]

[marrowbomber sets down next to the outpost.]

MB: shuttle to lunar rover. howdy.

D: hey, air support. what took you so long?

MB: had to stretch my legs. you don't know how stressful it is to try and fly in an atmosphereless environment in a conventional jet form.

D: i pray to never find out. here; i got some good stuff from the wreck. moving it inside your hold now.

[marrowbomber waits patiently for devastator to get it all in, and get in himself.]

MB: alright... where to now?

D: home sweet home. i trust you'll get home fine?

MB: ...pray to primus.

[marrowbomber takes off with a little bit of effort, escaping the moon's gravity swiftly and trying his god-damndest to get home safe and sound.]

[it takes him quite the unholy amount of effort... but god damnit, he makes it to the earth's atmosphere. not without some trauma, of course. no one wants to be lost in space.]

MB: oh. oh, god. homeward bound! fuck...

[devastator whistles in a satisfied and grateful sort of tone.]

[muffled celebrations erupt over the comms.]

N: welcome back to antarctican airspace, marrowbomber!

MB: thanks for the warm reception. that was... fucking horrifying. i never want to do this shit again.

N: i hear ya loud and clear, don't you worry. i'm setting down now to greet ya properly.

MB: see you then.

[marrowbomber directs his attention to devastator.]

MB: devs?

D: that was some of the worst rattling i've heard yet. you gonna be okay, mate?

MB: i... do not think so, no. we need a dedicated shuttleformer. not me. never again.

D: yeah, i get that. you want some energon from my personal stash once we land?

MB: oh, fuck, please.

D: hah! you got it, big man.

[marrowbomber sets his wheels down onto the cold, icy runway once more, and skids to a stop.]

N: whey! how's the big man doin'?

MB: i need a nap. and probably therapy.

N: heh... yeah. understandable. i made a deal with bonecrusher, he'll let you rest for a few months if need be. take your time off, my man, you earned it. [she pats marrowbomber's wing.]

MB: yeah... thanks.

[devastator hobbles out of marrowbomber's cargo hold, and dirtbuster takes over storage duty.]

D: he says we need a dedicated shuttleformer. see you in the base.

[nebula nods in response.] N: sounds like a good idea.

[nebula sits with marrowbomber and chats with him about various topics while dirtbuster gets his cargo hold cleared.]

[it only takes dirtbuster a couple of minutes to haul the loot out of there, and pats his tail end to let him know he's free to transform.]

[marrowbomber transforms, kneeling on the ground and keeping his space sickness on the inside... somehow.]

N: ...hey, are you gonna be fine, marrow?

MB: [gag]... nope. wh... where's devs?

N: he's in the base. i saw him hobblin' pretty wobbly though. might be getting some repairs from patchwork.

MB: l... let patch know i might be sick.

N: yeah, you got it, homie. sit tight.

[nebula gets off of the ground and pats marrowbomber's shoulder, moving to let patchwork know.]

[he kneels there. his brain is spinning. his body is churning. everything feels like utter shit. he needs a drink. everything hurts. he can't think.]

[bonecrusher gets to marrowbomber's side, cuddling with him to keep him calm.]

BC: hey now, big guy... lay down, rest your head. you're gonna be fine, bomb bay.

[bonecrusher pushes marrowbomber over to the base, making sure not to put too much pressure on certain areas.]

[marrowbomber leans on the wall of the base, able to see inside through the window. he holds onto bonecrusher, grateful that he's being so comforting tonight. he keeps him close, needing some warmth from him.]

[bonecrusher nestles deep into marrowbomber's frame, cuddling him for as long as he needs.]

[noticing marrowbomber lookin' like shit outside the window, groundrumbler opens the window and hands marrowbomber a cube of energon to help him out.]

[well, ain't this nice.]

[hisui-dreamer]

hello ˚ ༘ (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈) about mc angel's request, I was wondering if you could do the same but for malleus and lilia,.. also adding the fact that mc doesn't know how to land well and always crashes xd so mc have to practice constantly jsjs thanks! ^^

of softer landings

Characters: Malleus, Lilia

Synopsis: you're an angel, but really you don't act like one, even more so with your crash landings. Worry not, your lover is glad to be of assistance.

Tags: crack, fluff, bot proofread

Word count: 509

Notes: i just assumed the two of them do fly with wings, malleus being a dragon fae and lilia being a bat fae? also writing lilia's old man dialogue is so fun

Part 1 ✧ Masterlist

Malleus finds you so interesting

he appreciates the challenge your stubbornness presents, and the excitement your mischievous behaviour brings to his life

he thinks its another prank of yours when you tell him

"An angel?" he repeats, trying to make sense of it all. "I find it hard to believe."

but once you tell him you're serious, he'll believe you because he puts an incredible amount of trust in you

loves seeing your wings bc it shows you trust him

he's a bit clumsy when it comes to wing care, but he's more than willing to help you maintain your damaged wings

very concerned about your crash landings

honestly he's so excited to help you with flying, seeing it as an opportunity to assist you and spend more time with you

very patient in teaching but he's also the type of teacher that can't be specific in instructions

goes great lengths to ensure you're safe and comfortable during the practice sessions

he's gotten so good at casting slow fall spells quickly now

Malleus reaches for your hand, gently holding it. "Child of Man- no, my Sweet Angel, as dragon fae, I believe I can offer valuable guidance to you. Please do not hesitate to ask for my help, and I will do my utmost to ensure your safety and success."

He taps his chin, pondering. " When you're close to the ground, you want to bend your knees slightly. Think of it like preparing for a duel."

"Well done, my Sweet Angel! You have a natural talent for flying, and I have no doubt that you will master landing with practice and determination," he encourages, his dark wings flapping in excitement.

Lilia loves your energy, the two of you bounce energies off of each other and you’re quite a mischievous duo

he finds it amusing to be challenged and teased by you

he will be strict if you take a joke too far, but he can’t stay mad at you for too long

he has met many angels in his long fae life but you’re the first to be so mischievous

he believes you pretty quickly though, he’s seen more strange things in his life

"Well, I'll be. You're not like any other angel I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. But that's precisely what makes you so special and dear to me," he laughs

he loves helping you with wing care, he finds it so calming, and you often request his assistance with how you always crash land

he’s worried about you getting hurt, bad landings can be dangerous  

he offers to teach you how to land, suggesting you practice on a softer surface like a pile of leaves or moss and also demonstrating flying

he’s determined to do whatever it takes to ensure your safety and well-being

also super patient with his training

Lilia smiles and wraps his arms around you. "I believe you," he says softly. "And I think it's amazing that you're an angel. You're unlike any other angel I've ever met, and that's what makes you so special to me."

"Dear me, that simply won't do," he says, his tone taking on a more serious note. "It's imperative that you learn how to land properly if you wish to continue flying safely. Allow me to offer my assistance in this matter."

Lilia extends his hand towards you, offering to help with practice. "Come, my dear, let us begin your training at once. I have been flying for many years, and I believe that with my guidance, you can learn to land smoothly and safely."
