you guys aren’t ready for part three

So I am a firm believer that Elias put Martin in the Archives to die first. He was like "Okay Martin's pretty much completely useless and Jon doesn't like him. This is perfect, he'll be the first person to die, so Jon will learn the stakes of this job but won't be too upset about it!"

And then Martin didn't die. And kept not dying. And Jon started to actually like him. A lot. This is a problem because Jon is getting distracted and sentimental and focused o

So Elias is like "Damn okay Jon now wants me dead (passive) but if I do anything to Martin directly Jon will want me dead (active) and might actually try to kill me and/or do other things that will ruin my plans."

So, he's tries to pass him off to Peter to get rid of him that way.

And then Jon kills Peter, confirming what Elias thought would happen if he did something to Martin, but none of that matters now because Jon is right where Elias wants him.

And then the Eyepocalypse happens, and Martin is the one who helps Jon stay as they travel across the broken world and to the Panopitcon, where Jon killed Elias anyway.

And all of this could have been avoided on Jonah's end if he had just not put Martin in the Archives.

one piece au where swords have spirits in the form of dragons ft. all 5 of zoro's named swords

inspired by @/lunaisanartist's beautiful santoryu painting

Misc notes:

most swords don't have dragon spirits, they must be "cultivated"/hatched over time, formed from their use and time in the world

e.g. a skillful grade sword made by a master swordsmith but has hung on the wall since it was made will not have a spirit as it was not used and the sword not cultivated, compared to a common sword that has been used a lot)

however, the sword needs to last long enough so weaker swords that can't last 100+ fights will not be able to cultivate a sword spirit, i.e. baseline for spirit formation requires a certain forging and sword quality

How do you think megumi handles a jealous gf? Try to talk? Give her affectionate head pats? Hug her a little more? Or just rails her all night?

He'd getting an ego boost regardless btw

You have opened a wormhole for me with this ask and I’m gonna try to be normal while answering it but also I have to get this out so walk with me….

In short, yeah he does get a sort of ego boost, but it’s mostly… reassurance? He’s so spoiled with attention and he doesn’t even realize it until you’re Not jealous… and even though he’ll deny this until the day he dies, it’s so evident. He doesn’t really need you to get overtly jealous, he doesn’t need you throwing stones at people who look at him twice, or scolding him for thirty-second interactions with attractive strangers—but he does expect a certain level of protectiveness from you. He’s your significant other, shouldn’t you want to?���he knows he feels it. And besides, he really doesn’t know any other way to show his love for people, and more importantly, how to see that other people are showing their love for him. Megumi has always had dogs in the literal sense of his pets, but also in the people who care about him: Gojo follows him around and bothers him and nips at him like a spoiled chihuahua even if Megumi tells him off for it, Nobara invades his life and personal space like a bratty yorkie, and Yuuji is the husky he mistakenly gave affection once and is now dramatic whenever he doesn’t receive it. So when you don’t follow Megumi around, when you don’t nuzzle yourself into him to get his attention, when you don’t paw at him to get him to pay attention to you instead of whoever or whatever he’s currently engaged with, he’s so confused, and a little bit upset, and a lot pouty. Because why do you hate him… if you loved him, you’d simply bark for his attention, wouldn’t you 🙄?

So when you DO any of those things, when you huff when he’s not paying attention to you, or get upset that he has other plans, or tell him you don’t like the person he’s been spending time with instead of you, then that teeny part of him that loves that reaction is very satisfied. He knows he probably shouldn’t feel this happy to have you jealous, but he does, and such is life… sometimes he acts gruff if you’re being unreasonable dramatic about whatever you’re jealous of, but most times he tries to play it cool, reassure you that he doesn’t like who or whatever more than you—gives you a pat on the head, pokes at your cheek briefly, if he’s feeling really happy about you having your paws on him you might get a kiss to the side of your head; all his silent way of calming your nerves and saying “good girl,” because that’s the reaction he expects of you. Honestly, he’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy if you really are upset with him, because he loves you and he doesn’t want you to feel badly, but also because he’s a little bit giddy that you want all of his attention like this, so who is he not to give it to you

When those 12,000 years of isolation start to hit

jojo night at the museum AU, starring divorced night guard jotaro and terrifyingly self-aware painting kakyoin.

one of these days i'll actually get around to writing it.

[mara-and-its-the-same]

hello there! I would love to read any of your thoughts/fics about Cal and/or Danny!

OR?! I could never pick between them, but for the sake of introductions let's start with thoughts because the fics are coming don't you worry. They just need a little fine tuning

Teeny thoughts/HCs for both below the cut (it's yap central up in here)🥰

Cal

I'm so obsessed with the way he talks, like absolutely entranced by his cadence and I love every scene of him telling some story. and I know that he'd know that, maybe not right away but eventually he'd recognize the look you give him around the bonfire while he's talking to the group is the same one you give him late in the evening close to the final page of your date nights. OH MY GOD!

when you find out he speaks french! i'm woozy just thinking about it, (i don't even care that i can't understand quebecois for the life of me) you'd ask him to say something to you just so you could hear the sound of it. even if he's gotten a little rusty since he hasn't has anyone to speak it with, and even if all he can recite are the few stories he remembers from his childhood, or motorcycle parts he's learned from the translations on the back of manuals. like a late night and you cant sleep and you just want the sound of his voice to relax to...he might not totally understand the attraction, but he's not one to look a gift horse in the mouth and if you're into it who is he to deny you such a simple wish?

and I don't think he'd be the type to be one of those "my old ball and chain" guys, like he's undoubtedly in love with you and in love with being around you as often as possible. so if you're home while he's working in the garage he's setting up a lawn chair for you to relax in, just to keep him company, if the weather's nice he's putting it out in the sun for you and if it's a little too hot he sets you up in the shade with a little cooler with whatever the two of you are into that week. and he's certainly not letting you lift a finger. not because he thinks you'll break something (which like you might, but who am i to judge) but because he doesn't want you getting grease all over your outfit or roughing up those soft, pretty hands of yours. he just wants your company

Danny

for right now in this moment, i'm all over the idea of being his "girl back home" like he's out in chicago with all these bikers getting into god knows what kind of trouble, while you're safe at home just thinking about him every hour of every day. of course he calls whenever he gets the chance, but it's never a sure thing with the amount of time he spends out on the longer runs. and long distance calls are expensive, but every time he does it's so precious. the few times you hear some new midwestern phrase or pronunciation slip in and get a few extra seconds on the call just to poke a little more fun at him.

the guys get ahold of his wallet one day and can't believe he's kept you a secret this long. 3 different pictures of you sit in the accordion folded holder between the fold of his wallet and he thanks god for the feeling he got that morning he should change the ones he had in before (much more,,,invigorating if you will), for these three that he brought with him too, just to be sure he can see all your different expressions every time he reaches into his back pocket.

AND WHEN YOU COME TO VISIT!! at first he's not so sure it's the best idea, worrying you won't like the guys or something might happen once you're there, but all that is secondary the moment he thinks about how long it's been since he's last seen you, and before he knows it he's calling you back and taking you up on that offer to get a week off of work and coming to see him. Once you're there he's not leaving your side for a minute, firstly because he feels the need to let everyone else know you're his (and that you are real, as much as Zipco and Wahoo tried to get him to admit to the pictures in his wallet being magazine clippings because what's a girl like you doing with a pinko "college-boy" like him) and second because he's missed you so much for so long and he doesn't know the next time you'll be back so he's getting every second he can with you

and oh goodness are you impressed with this new look he's adopted. so different from what he used to wear to class or out walking around the city together, but still it fits him so well. your knees almost give out the 3rd day of your visit when he comes out from his bedroom in a black tank top and his denim vest...and maybe you do feign heat exhaustion just so he'll take you home early on the back of the bike he's spent so many phone calls telling you about...just because the heat was a more internal kind doesn't mean it's any less real. or maybe the exhaustion was just that you were getting tired of seeing him look that hot without doing anything about it. either way he hasn't seen you pull him up his apartment stairs that fast since you first started dating

and not maybe, but certainly, your trip goes from one week to two to a month until the tragic reality of responsibility sinks in and you realize you really are running out of clothes...

Hello, Margo. Hello, Mr. Nikulov.

[breezycheezyart]

Hi, I’m still alive. Life has been…[gestures vaguely]. But I’m still drawing, just busy. Hopefully things will start slowing down this and/or next week 😭.

I miss you guys, I wanna draw more and post more but I wanna make it worth the wait. I know I said “Soon” a while back but the Life™️ happened and I hit a roadblock with the composition of the piece that I’m still tryna fix, so I apologize for the delay but I swear I’ll get it done; if nothing else than for my own damn sanity lmaooo

ANYWAYS! Love y’all, stay safe, and I’ll see y’all in a little while 💜💜💜

[studioeisa]

hihi i saw your wips and the minute i saw academic rivals teacher!wonu, i was already excited !! (ᗒᗨᗕ) knowing you, i know it’s gonna be sooooooo gooooood !!!

i can already imagine the amount of chemistry and tension it’s gonna have (๑>ᴗ<๑) i also feel that there’s gonna be a bit of humour in it (correct me if i’m wrong though !)

happy writing my love ! ♡ ～('▽^人)

loml sara, you are so, so right!!! academic rivals teachers!wonwoo is actually from xinganaho's svt x reverse tropes verse, and it has all the tropes you can expect: rivals to lovers, forced proximity, academia ~drama~ and moreee ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ it's still just an idea clanging around in my brain so most of my plans are scraps so far, but here's the wonwoo look i envision + some situations i expect him to get in with our mc lol

mc and wonwoo are homeroom advisors to elementary students (added layer of them needing to keep their 'rivalry' on the down low because their students are literally kids)

mc's class is the top-performing class of the month. wonwoo is not happy

mc and wonwoo have to work together as chaperones during a school field trip

mc and wonwoo show off during the principal's evaluations/try to subtly sabotage each other to the best of their abilities

mc and wonwoo are set up on a blind date by their co-faculty who hope that the two simply need to relieve their tension through other means

mc/wonwoo has to substitute for the other's class due to unforeseen circumstances; mc/wonwoo now has to bear their kids asking about their rival a lot more often

mc and wonwoo get a little too competitive at the school's annual intramurals/faculty's team-building weekend

when mc and wonwoo meet outside of school for the first time, they realize... huh. maybe this person's not so bad (until the next school day rolls around, that is)

[morningstargirl666]

I'm reading over what I already have for part two of TBBW's rewrite and finishing some scenes for chapters 22-36 while I'm ill lol and have a few days off work. And, gotta say...

This is some good shit, man.

I wrote it so I could read it, and god, am I enjoying reading this so much.

[tritoch]

wild to me to see posts like "wow everything in the tempest is named after shakespeare...emet you melodramatic bitch you sure loved theater". because the prospero-emet thing gets played up so hard in the english script and you can carry it so far!

like prospero is an asshole magician who, after being deposed by his brother as duke of milan, settles himself and his daughter on a remote island, enslaves the local spirits using his magic, and bitterly plots to reclaim his past glories. he rules through violence and deceit, and only survives and is reconciled when his plots reach their fruition and his brother is taken to his remote island and plots ensue and everyone decides he was totally right all along and they were huge dicks to him and they're sooooo sorry and he gets to go back and be duke again wow! and it's okay because he's like "i was only doing mean magic to get my rightful spot back and now i'm giving it up because magic is evil. :)"

the tempest is what emet wants his life to be. prospero is not a villain in the text of the tempest. he is barely treated as antagonistic by the text and framing of the play itself. all his abuses, his neglect and control of his daughter, his enslavement of caliban and ariel (local spirits/monsters/people of the island), his deception and plots against his brother, his abuse of magical powers (not awesome, from the pov of the contemporary audience), all that ultimately gets swept aside in the rightness of his return to milan and the warm feeling of the world being set to rights. prospero can't undo the years he spent on the island but they are ultimately a blip in his life before he returns to the rightful state of affairs. his abuse and enslavement of caliban, easily the worst thing he does in the play, is totally set aside when caliban goes "wow now i see how truly benevolent my master is. i love him and see the ways of christian good and i'm so, so appreciative he chose not to kill or beat me even though he totally could have and would have been in the right. he's so just and intelligent." everyone loves and forgives him and they all agree both his management of the island and his ultimate return are so good and so wise and so right.

emet comparing himself to the tempest (or being compared to it, depending on how you want to read the diegetic status of the place names) is absolute wishcasting. it is an attempt to manifest the happy ending he will never, ever get because his sins cannot and would not be forgiven in the way he wants. he wants to imagine himself as the righteous returned duke whose crimes, including the enslavement, abuse, and exploitation of those he saw as his rightful inferiors, were totally worth it, i promise. and if emet is prospero, the warrior of light is his caliban.

Kate Austen rant:

I was going through old fan forums of Lost episodes, specifically Something Nice Back Home; And I came across a post that paralleled Jack and Kate’s domestic life to that of Kate and Kevin, because in both instances ‘she’s living a lie’ so to speak.

I found that interesting because, obviously with Kevin she is literally living a lie, like she’s lying about her entire identity. But I always thought what made Jate’s break up so devastating for Kate, and what made the stakes so high in that moment, was that I don’t think Kate was living a lie with Jack at all.

I think one of the absolute disconnects between Kate and Jack is that Jack is merely playing house, but to Kate— this is her life. This is the best version of her life she’s lived thus far, and Jack literally fucking ruins it.

Kate is in a position where she feels like she’s finally figured it out, she can finally stop running, she’s essentially been acquitted of her sins, and she has the rewards to prove it (Aaron and Jack). And while Jack does ruin an illusion for himself because he’s actively playing a role he knows he isn’t suited for, the life he’s ruining for Kate is one she was building brick by brick.

And this ties into my larger view of Kate as someone who does genuinely redeem herself in the island the first time around, and settles into real life the best because the consequences she needed to face were never on the island, if anything the island provided an easy solution to all her problems, and she chooses the hard road by leaving.

If she’d learned to let go of everything the island gave her (Aaron and Jack), she would’ve lived a relatively good life, she wouldn’t have needed to go back at all.

Idk I guess to me that’s what makes her character so enticing, out of everyone she’s the one who’s closest to getting it all so to speak, in the most grounded way. And then a Jackquake of 12.3 magnitude hits, and crumble everything she’d carefully crafted.
