~ a little something about Dazai slowly moving you in without you knowing ~

"Osamu, can I borrow a comb or something? I can't seem to find my hairbrush..."

You call out as you rummage through your duffle bag you brought to spend the weekend at his place. you do this as much as you can, it's lovely to spend time with the one you love... And also because he loses all sanity and rationality if he goes a few days without seeing you. You've been there before, and it's a nightmare for both you and anyone interacting with him. Poor baby!

He perks up, staring at you from across the room, chin resting on his palm and his eyes half-lidded. He's thinking about the day he hid that from you, along with a few other garments. He calls back, sounding scattered.

"Mm? Oh, you can borrow anything you want! Mine's behind the bathroom mirror."

"Okay!"

You open the mirror, and the shelf has not only your hairbrush, but one of your hair clips too. You tilt your head, calling back out.

"Nevermind! Found some of my stuff. Guess I left them here last time, heh."

He jumps at your new finding, quietly cursing himself for not hiding that before you came over. Dazai sighs deeply and immediately hops off the stool, beelining it to you. He clears his throat, playing dumb like the demon he is.

"Well, I think you should still use mine. Please, yours looks all old and yucky. If you keep using it all of your hair will fall out and you'll be bald and hate yourself for the rest of your life and nobody will want you! Except for me, of course~"

"... Um, I don't think so?"

"Well I do! Now, come on, let's get these silky locks in check."

He spins you around and immediately starts combing out your hair, humming a little tune to himself as he does so. He makes a mental note to hide the shirt and pajama shorts he kept last weekend too, that's for when he's alone at night. He also needs to make sure you willingly start leaving things, otherwise you'll freak if you're missing half your stuff. He's so gentle with you and having the time of his life, lightly dusting his fingers against the nape of your neck. He stifles a giggle behind that little smirk plastered on his face when you squirm a bit. He'll make sure you do it plenty of more times before you leave later. Maybe you'll finally beg like he's been wanting you to!

"There. All done."

He presses a soft kiss at the top of your head and you flash him a sweet smile. He could honestly pass out right there. And if he fell down, he'd be at your feet, and then he could be at your knees. Oh! And then you'd fuss over him and never leave his sight. And then... So so so cute...

You get a thoughtful look on your face, and turn to face him fully, popping his delusional little bubble.

"... Come to think of it, I feel like I always lose stuff at your place. You'll gather it for me if you find it, Osamu?"

At the mention of his name, he feels his entire body heat up. He blinks twice and tilts his head innocently. God, you look breathtaking when you're confused. He'll have to take a photo sometime for his album. You love posing for those, and he loves looking at you.

"Sure, but why don't you just... Leave things here from now on? You're here alllll the time, might as well just keep stuff here for safe keeping. I'll be the noble keeper of your things!"

You raise a brow, huffing into a laugh.

"Yeah? Is that what you want to be?"

His voice then becomes softer, needier, and dead serious. He stares right into your beautiful eyes, drowning himself in them. He mutters.

"For you, I'll be anything you want me to be. Afterall, I'm nothing more than a boy made of clay~"

You blush at that. Really hard. Amazing! he thinks. He reaches for your soft face that feels hot to the touch, cupping it inbetween his bandaged hands as he delicately rubs circles on your temples with the pad of his thumb. You wish you could look anywhere else right now because you're falling apart under him and he knows it.

"When you move in, you can do anything you want with the place. Especially with me."

"... Shouldn't we talk more about this another time?"

"Mmm no, not really."

He replies, his Hazelnut eyes go a little darker as he looks down at you.

"Hm, I think we should, cause you're too fast for me. You're like a Hare." You giggle as you say that, eyes twinkling.

"I like bunnies. I like you..."

He mumbles, going straight for your lips before you can say anything else.

Needless to say, you didn't get very far into the discussion after that. He wouldn't let that happen. And that's okay! He can adapt! He thinks he IS being a little pushy and a little too fast for your taste. He's sooo sorry, he'll take it slower next time. In between the sloppy kisses and the very indecent ways he uses his hands to toy with you, he desperately whispers in your ear one last time before he devours you fully.

"... We're staying together forever and ever, yeah?"

"Mmphhhmm..."

[puppppppppy]

slow

Thinking a lot about how the devs basically said there is no conflict in the team or between historically opposed people in Thedas in this game because "the stakes are too high, everyone has to work together." When the stakes are very very similar to Inquisitions?? Albeit we as a player know it's "real" this time. The big one.

But correct me if I'm wrong here (I'm not) the previous antagonist was a blighted OP mage with a knock off Archdemon trying to tear down the veil and ascend to godhood? And we are currently trying to *checks notes* defeat a blighted OP mage with an Archdemon trying to fuck up the veil and ascend to godhood? Oh sorry. Two.

Yes, the Blight. But it's hardly as though there weren't Blight concerns in Inquisition. Adamant, anyone?

Anyways, my point being is that the characters of Inquisition have no reason to see the stakes of that story as any less dire than the characters of Veilgaurd. And bless their hearts, those kids have Issues™️. They're all in on petty conflict. That was part of the genius, that the stakes were so high these deeply different people had to find a way to work together despite butting heads.

And the rest of the world didn't suddenly forget it's drama as well? Halamshiral's underlying elven rebellion. Orlesian civil war. The Mages vs the Templars. Chantry infighting. Seeker infighting. Tranquility. They didn't all go, "wait! there's a hole in the sky! we should put aside hundreds of years of systemic issues in the name of togetherness." Excluding the Inquisition that is.

Okay, Blight. Let's talk about the Blight. The Fifth one. You have the most rag tag group thrown together to stop the spread. This is literally the game that founded the series. Its defining features were political conflict. The king was betrayed! In a battle against Darkspawn! During a Blight! What a time to not stand as a united front, Loghain. In your own party, you're trying desperately to prevent Morrigan from emotionally assasinating Alistair. Oh! More conflict. While we are here, let's murder her mom real quick because *checks notes* Blights are when we all come together to hold hands.

If you play as an elf, you're putting up with human nonsense. If you play as a mage, you put up with mage nonsense. If you play as a woman- oh boy. I would make the argument that the realness of that setting, the way it highlighted human nature's best and worst qualities- is why it sunk it's claws into so many fans hearts.

It just.... whatever they've got going in Veilgaurd on only works for a YA novel. Which Dragon Age has never tried to be before. And, frankly, is a weird thing for it to aim for.

How would you redesign Headmaster Magneto? Just out pf curiousity because while he served it didn’t feel like… Erik.

[branches-in-a-flood]

.

We did it. It was fine. (It wasn't fine, I feel like a fucking idiot complaining about "oh no, my father whom I have hated for my entire memorable life told me I'm wasting my degree," "My mom said I was fat, and I, a full grown-ass adult, feel like she shouldn't have said that when I recently lost weight for an unknown reason.")

We talked about my growing disconnect from my family. They may or may not know I'm queer. (I came out to my mother several years ago but she acted like it was a joke and has literally not mentioned it beyond that one conversation.) I don't talk about it. They don't know I'm polyam. They don't know about partner two in any capacity (like that he exists or has a name or anything) because again, I don't talk about it. They don't know about the same-sex partners I've had. They don't know about my trans partners. They absolutely don't know about my own tenuous grasp on my gender, and honestly never will (though my own partners don't know about that either, until I have a better understanding.) I tend to stay quiet about my personal life, which works out in my favor because it never fucking fails that they say or do something that reveals some bigoted attitude every time I go home. So I stay quiet. I observe. I recognize that more and more of my family is Unsafe. So I talk less.

(Until I explode and have a screaming match with my father about why people deserve fucking basic rights just for being alive. Until I quietly seethe with so much anger that I can no longer bite my tongue when they talk about "protecting the children from the trans agenda.")

They aren't overtly awful. But they surely don't get to know me, based on so many things like this.

And isn't that embarrassing to say and have to consider at thirty fucking four years of age? A lot of the same issues I had 20 years ago, when finding out I was queer and promising myself I would get the fuck out and never talk about it to anyone who knew me before.

I set up an extra therapy session today *just* to go over my trip home.

And now I feel dumb. It. It wasn't that bad?

I never reach out for help this is new territory for me and I feel like it wasn't "bad enough" to warrant an extra session please just kill me

hi please stop paying for streaming services

hi so i've been using this epic swag little app called stremio for the past (At Least) year or so and it is. VERY good (i have some gripes with the way its not seeder friendly but you win some you lose some).

it's basically a do it all video streaming app with access to movies, shows, anime, even certain dramas as far as I know??? ymmv overall

Anyways. its available for just about any device you could use these days and has SURPRISINGLY good community support that makes it 500x more powerful than if you were to stick with the stock addons.

so to start off i'd suggest downloading one of the desktop apps so you can get your addons configured before logging in on your tv device (the addons will sync when you log in) and after creating your account and familiarizing yourself with the UI, go ahead and start getting some custom addons. your best friend in the world here will be Torrentio hands down. It'll basically allow you to stream from any available torrent of whatever you search for, but with the obvious caveat of still being a peer to peer connection which your isp may or may not be very mad about.

this brings me to your VPN selection! personally i've used both nord and proton heavily and can only recommend proton vpn as nord is just. well basically they've gotten worse and worse as far as trying to get you to keep subscribing and shit. its annoying as hell but the connection is dece. proton however has a free tier that is very robust all things considered so like. give it a try lol you probably won't regret it.

once you get your vpn setup, download the app to your streaming device of choice, start your vpn connection and get logged in to stremio! search far and wide so you can get an idea of what series of yours will be available, test out different addons, maybe even figure out what a debrid service is and ABOVE ALL ELSE have fun :)

hot take: Jason is actually one of the most emotionally intelligent members of the Batfam because, contrary to most of them, he actually expresses his actual emotions. and while those feelings are mostly negative, he still expresses them, which is more than can be say about Bruce (who will bottle it up till it blows up in his face), Damian and Cass (who were trained out of expressing their feelings during childhood by literal assassins), Tim and Dick (who are chronic liars and will bullshit their way through life unless there’s no other way).

every time i think im okay i remember that the echoes of clara across the doctor’s timeline didn’t know they were echoes. or. no, some of them did, i think, but the more clara gives of herself to save the doctor, the more she loses the sense of who she is. and that’s why some of the echoes just seem like clara, knowing why she’s there and what she’s there to do. and some of them, many of them, don’t. the ones eleven meets don’t. and how many of them didn’t know haunts me. how many of them died just out of sight of the doctor, for the doctor, alone, without knowing why.
