I think this is one of my favorite lines from the Wraith route because of (imo) how much the meaning changes depending on if you got there via Spectre or Nightmare. For Spectre, it honestly strikes me as a genuine question. Why are you doing this to her? If you're on the Spectre route, you presumably already know the Narrator can't really be trusted, since you had to reject his reward to get here. What are you hoping to gain from continuing to hurt her? For Nightmare, it honestly just makes me sad. As the Shifting Mound describes her, "She desires only companionship, but the only thing she knows is how to hurt." This line feels like a plea from someone who genuinely doesn't understand why you keep rejecting her. She wants to be with you, but she just can't understand how to do that in a way which doesn't hurt you.
#at the risk of getting put on a list there is something tragic & relatable in nightmare#someone who desperately wants to make connections but just can't understand how#anyway wraith is one of my favorite princesses for stuff like this (and bc tragedy aside her route is a riot)#also im sorry if she doesn't say that line if you got there via nightmare#that's how i got her and i could've sworn she did? But i only found footage of her saying it in spectre#slay the princess#stp#stp wraith#the wraith#stp spectre#stp nightmare#side note archetypal/heart#(slash so i don't accidentally tag them)#pointed out on another post of mine that you get wraith via nightmare by killing her and via spectre by leaving her in the basement#in both cases its a rejection of her (rejection being one of wraith's main themes)#which makes me speculate on spectre's ch 3 (which i think we currently have very little info on?)#Trying to run from Nightmare should technically be a 'rejection' as well#but you get MOC from that (and from choosing to stay with her)#imo bc you're just repeating the same inaction which got you into this situation in the first place#you don't want to slay her. you don't want to set her free. So you just leave her there (again)#and so you get MOC where things have only gotten worse and you have no choice left. Because you chose *not* to take action again#So I wonder if spectre 3 will be a similar 'repeating your past mistakes' type of deal#i was skeptical about it coming from stabbing yourself while she possesses you or trying to crush her bones#but it does make sense with that in mind#im curious if it'll parallel MOC#except instead of having no choice but to free the princess you have no choice but to obey the narrator again#maybe you both end up stuck in the cabin forever again?#idk#sorry i probably should've put all of that tag in the post lmao

failure and futility
for day 2 of campfire fest! prompt: third eye (and i guess could also count for explosion, or a lack thereof lol) @outerwilds-events
#i meant to do something yesterday but i had a crazy shift at work and was feeling lazy lol#anyways. pye and idaea after the probe didn't work#this line of text is the first thing that comes to mind for 'third eye' for me bc its the only evidence/in-game mention of the nomai's -#- third eye being special/different from the other two in some way. im curious if it is actually composed differently and has better vision#or if it is just better for seeing fine details in things directly in front of them since it is forward-facing as opposed to -#- being on the sides of their head#also i just think about these two a lot. can you imagine being co-leaders of the most difficult and controversial part of a massive project#that is so important to so many people including your friends family members and ancestors who have died in search of what you are -#- going to potentially destroy your entire clan while attempting to find#you are building a weapon intended to destroy yourself and the entire star system you were born in#and your co-leader is the person with quite possibly the most opposite opinions and disposition to you#idaea having to grapple with the fact that the failure of something he never wanted to exist in the first place is still upsetting to him -#- because despite their differences he still sympathizes with pye who was so confident and wanted it to work so badly#and both of them as well as anyone else working at the sun station put so much time and energy into constructing it#and that work was so miserable due both to the heat and the tension due to their differing opinions and their own mixed feelings on it#pye having to admit defeat to everyone else working on the project who were so excited for this to finally give them the answer#in front of idaea who was so convinced that it was a bad idea and who she was probably desperate to prove wrong#in front of the entire crew of people who had spent probably months in miserable working conditions#after she had been so confident that it would work and so insistent that this was the only way#and she had to admit not only that it failed but that it couldn't possibly work. that deep down she knew and had probably known for a while#- that it would never work and had continued working on it anyway because she wanted it to work so bad#anyways. the fucking brainworms#tried out a new style for this and i really like how it turned out#outer wilds#outer wilds spoilers#outer wilds nomai#frostgnaw draws

I'm incredibly curious if there are any SVSSS ships that don't exist on AO3 yet. Like, there's a sizeable enough cast that the combinations are pretty large in number, especially if you consider poly ships. Even so, I feel like I've seen every combo under the sun. But is that really true? Is there secretly a ship so batshit out there that no one has even dared to consider it? Inquiring minds would like to know.
#tell me so i can either write it or prompt someone to do it lol#chances are its of like. 2 side characters or something#like i doubt shen yuan has any missing combos bc hes literally the mc everyone wants a piece of him#so its probably the slightly less popualr guys that are missing. anyway im desperately curious guys#svsss#shen yuan#shen qingqiu#shang qinghua#tianlang jun#luo binghe#shen jiu#yue qingyuan#liu qingge#zhuzhi lang#yeah i keep staring at the tags and i swear ive seen them all at least once

okay its no secret i dont buy into marazhai being the persona he puts on. so as i've officially met him in game now, im making a list of all the in-game reasons i think he's a bit of an idiot [which i love btw. i find him far more compelling if he's a bit stupid/weird and he's trying so hard not to be but you just know nobody in commorragh is inviting him to parties]
the very first time you get a glance of him on a rooftop and. 'deal with this' "of course" proceeds to just walk off like 3 seconds after the other two
ambushes you. has you cornered. is in optimal position to kick your ass frankly, high ground and better weapons and utilising shock against you. ...he bitches at you for a while, gets insulted, then runs off into the forest with a maniacal cackle
heinrix fired a mild insult [considering what he's like to everyone else its barely an insult] and he took big enough issue with it to start saying how he'll break him and turn him into a pet. oh sure dude you're responding super well to this mild comment from the guy who accidentally insults everyone and their entire ancestral line at some point
i think it says something that he's learned to speak your language fluently too. that Has to be some kind of Yikes moment to admit publicly in drukhari culture. buried family secret great great grandfather drukhari-georg learned to speak mon keigh and now we claim he just spoke oddly because was shot in the head as a child to prevent the shame
he also knows the mon keigh lore that says youre a super special little guy as rogue trader and actually LISTENS to the fact you're the special little guy as rogue trader. and he does treat you as more equal/with more respect than the other characters. thats not just a drukhari culture yikes thats what gets you checked for a concussion or brain damage
literally socially atrocious enough its believed he's working with you [read: with you. not using you, not manipulating, cooperating. this is a big difference i feel] and only he himself doesnt believe it
ignore the fact he eventually DOES work with you which. is its own follow up statement
challenges you to fight him, to give chase then and there. i made him wait while i went through english government simulator where i queued for multiple days, did multiple day/week voidship trips back and forth, got distracted by accidentally starting jae's romance, pasqal telling me to servitorise her, getting blackout drunk with her, shipwide broadcast tm, giving her a voidship, her getting me a space cat, attacked by pirates, dealt with a plague, explored a few extra systems.......................
he destroys your palace. ...its rebuilt effectively within a week. most of the damage is in bodies which are just sent to the poor district to rot [almost feels worse than the damage done good job imperium]
the throne has claw marks. he could've blown it up or shot it or piled corpses on it but no he wanted to sit on the fancy chair and so turned into a common housecat mauling the sofa arm
how long was he just sitting there lounging on that chair? again see how long i kept him waiting. he was just sitting there trying to find a comfy position on this [for him] kinda small chair JUST so he could briefly taunt, break your window with his space motorbike, jump off the chair in a dramatic [but not gunna lie not that impressive] feat of gymnastics, then fly out. he doesnt even shoot at you as he leaves
i will continue my list as i see more that entertain me
#warhammer rogue trader#rogue trader marazhai#marazhai rogue trader#marazhai aezyrraesh#dont listen to how he tries to portray himself hes LAME and i thoroughly enjoy that about him#like. marazhai is a social outcast on so many levels and he is trying SO hard to compensate. it makes him incredibly interesting#ive seen some stuff of him later on but not all that much so im really curious how it'll go/how well i've grasped him#my current thoughts on him? he's just. fundamentally someone who desperately wants to be understood#but in all his long life he's never found it. and commorragh isnt a place for weakness like that. so he acts over it#he pretends to be some great evil mastermind with a lot of flair which is Intentional. because he doesnt know how to act like other drukhar#so concealing that is the best he's got. he doesnt realise the yawning gaps that show it for what it is and bring distain on him anyway#drukhari hate him because he's not like them. he's odd and dramatic and takes things to heart when he shouldnt but dismisses things he shou#he's tolerated for his blood connections and how it killing him could be an invitation for feud. he's also easy to get out of the way#send him to go chat to some mon keigh he'll be so fixated on setting the stage for the meeting he'll miss the important stuff#humans hate him bc he's drukhari. they believe the way he portrays himself because it fits propaganda#hell he may've even learned how to act drukhari from human stories. it'd fit tbh. ....i want to think more on this now#either way he loses. and tbh thats why i do like the idea of him with pasqal. theyre both freaks and social outcasts despite their ranks#robot rambles

has any character even come close to the sheer power of boba fett. fundamentally shaping an entire corner of a fictional universe because you were just that badass. inspiring entire cultures and millions of derivative characters from your thirty minutes of screen time. and you got eaten by a desert pit. incredible
#best thing about OG trilogy rewatches is realizing how little the expanded universe had to work with#text✨#star wars#boba fett#mandalorians#fuck lucas but also i am so desperate to know what his original interpretation of fhe#clone wars was. it’s spoken of SO specifically in ANH im so curious.

Sure Buggy and Crocodile have devil fruit powers, but Mihawk is the only one who could get their house key if it fell to the bottom of a pool, so really who's more powerful
#one peice#op buggy#op crocodile#op mihawk#cross guild#im new to the fandom so im so curious on how the no water thing is handled in modern aus without devil fruit powers#is hydrophobia just the number one fear in modern aus?#mihawk desperately searching for a hotel that doesnt have a pool so his partners dont have a panic attack on their romantic getaway

I finally watched Desperation Road last night and oh my, Garrett baby, you’ve moved me yet again. Then when i was supposed to go to bed, the love story of Russell and Sarah WOULD NOT LET ME SLEEP. I was already in the feels when they showed him carrying her picture.
I adore them already, off the little we got, the actors acted their asses off and gave us so much in their limited screen time together.
They’ve moved into my head and heart, so naturally something angsty full of longing and emotion is in the works….already 8 pages in and once its ready it will be on A03. 💕 I’ll update Garrett’s master list with the link too. I’m liking a looser format these days, like connected one-shots, more than traditional chapters.
I can’t stop thinking about them 😭 that scene on the steps killed me. It was also nice to see Ella, who I was already familiar with, briefly paired with one of my hubbies. Its a treat for me 😁
Also please read up on this film and the book before watching. There are some serious trigger warnings in it. Just a heads up.



The past is never dead - read on A03
#Russell Gaines#Desperation Road (2023)#garrett hedlund#Ella Thomas#my loves ill get you back together#i did enjoy the film over all and now im curious about the book#such a heartwrenching story#Russell x Sarah#Russell Gaines x Sarah Magee

#made by domi#for those curious#im a maid of doom#Zach is a page of life#and enes is a rogue of heart#we are in desperate need of a space and time player or we are not making it outta sburb 😭😭#did system#osddid#traumagenic system#actually did#did

ouf its been a while since i came up with it. i think. it was based on an old user i had which had the word “stones” in it. i dont remember the exact username but it was probably space rock related bc im a space nerd
anyway the current one is supposed to be. like. radioactive rocks. radio rocks. radioroxx. im only guessing bc its been a few years but i THINK thats what i was going for
#asks#could be anything but knowing myself that makes sense#and im too attached to this name now sooo#yea its a lil silly but HFKSKD i likes it#also lowkey a lil curious what lead u to asking jfkdjfnf there is desperation in ur tone anon

ive been putting ttpd onto different playlists, mixing taylor’s albums around, and the storytelling while listening on shuffle has been fascinating and really allows for a huge shift in perspective if you’re looking for new ways to listen to these albums in conjunction with ttpd. sonically some of the shuffle arrangements are actually genius so this is just fun to do on a lot of levels! anyway i was just curious what other fans listen to or would lean towards so im throwing this out there. right now i am listening to 1989, rep, and ttpd on shuffle but “the tortured midnight lovers” playlist is my favorite so far 🩵
#poll#ttpd#just for fun#i specifically left out folkmore bc I don’t believe ttpd fits in that universe#I’ll listen to the three on shuffle together but#it doesn’t all fit so nicely like you think it would?#anyway thanks for voting or reblogging 🩵#pls don’t flop im desperately curious what other people find connections and parallels in

still tidestrider posting I wanna know what the chain of command is in the undersea, specifically in regards to gillion. the elders are on the very top, obviously, but where does gill fall relative to them?? he was directly raised by the elders and trained in the capital's palace, he's believed to be the chosen one (which would make him a holy figure by default,) he has the power to knight people, and the title of "champion of the undersea"- but did anyone actually answer to him? is he near the top, in terms of power, or is he treated as a citizen in that regard? do people even know who he is, or is "champion tidestrider" some unknown person, while gillion was just the guard that stood with the elders at religious events or announcements?
#i want to KNOW#i like to think people know who gill is just bc i think it would be a little silly for him to be a celeb#but ONLY in the trench. outside the capital hes just another guy but in the city? coolest guy around#no idea if that could realistically be the case but i digress#desperately want undersea arc please please please im so curious#jrwi riptide#jrwi#jrwi show#gillion tidestrider#jrwi gillion#gillian tidestrider#jrwi gillian

cerebros i have known u for only two days but i love u dearly
#HES SO GOOD. blending the tiny bit of him from the final 3 episodes of american g1 w his headmasters iteration bc i rlly like the idea of--#--him as a war weary soldier desperate for any way out leading a ship of civilians off of cybertron. they accidentally crash land on--#--nebulos and develop the headmaster technology for Some reason but instead of taking on a nebulon partner cerebros has their ship--#--reformatted into the fortress maximus frame and devotes himself entirely to the role + persona of Ultimate Guardian. views it as--#--him sacrificing his own peace + contentment for all of nebulon. only one person has to suffer and it HAS to be him sort of deal#he + his charges took off abt a million years before the Big Earth Nap and have completely missed out on SO many major developments--#--including the death of both factions leaders. rodimus + friends eventually land on nebulon seeking rest + repair in the middle of--#--a bigger quest and let All That slip and cerebros is like HUH ? DID MY ABANDONMENT LEAD TO THIS ?#keeping the idea of him as an architect prewar from his whos who bio bc thats rlly fun. altmode used to be a front end loader until he was-#--reformatted into fortress maximus' head and can Only transform into that now. VERY heavy handed for his deliberate casting aside--#--of identity but lol#im vaguely aware that fortress maximus becomes a character entirely of his own in the comics which makes me rlly curious as to whats going-#--on with cerebros. i want to see him NOW#very sad that a singular third party company has produced a very nice looking cerebros but only one of their Recolors of him is in stock
