rian stafford / richard armitage

rian means king -- his dad literally went for it!

rian's bro was domnhall's older brother who always thought he was gonna be king but then lost to his bro during the trials

always took it for granted that it was his birthright as the eldest to rule!

when he lost the trials, he took his family and left astaira and did not return until it was for his brother's funeral

took his boys to roderick's og country where they both grew up

rian with the intent that one day, he would return to astaira and reclaim the throne as he ws always meant to!!!

but fun fact, rian had never even been to this country

to quote the princess diaries 2: how can one rule the people, if one does not know the people?

it shouldn't have surprised anyone that rian lost to his cousin eilia in this

(spoiler alert - it surprised rian!!!)

angry!!!!! feels like he has no place in the world, tbh

returned to varmont's og country afterwards, in disgrace

his dad died soon afterwards

rian was out for revenge -- felt like astaira betrayed him and his family

helped roderick with the invasion and told him everything his dad had taught him that might be helpful

in return, roderick has placed him in charge of lorcan

it is far from the throne of astaira, but rian is pleased to be lord of one of the most impressive estates in all of astaira

does know the lore that there is a secret stronghold beneath the castle but has not been able to find it and the lorcan girls swear they know nothing about it (he's unconvinced)

determined that lord lorcan will NEVER return and take this from him

GARBHAN STAFFORD / david oakes

garbhan also feels as though he has no place in the world

he had been raised as his brother's ~spare~ and was also placed to face the trials as his father's "back up" but lbr, no one really believed that garbhan was ever any real competition for rian or eilia

doesn't think he is a good person, deep down

spends all of his time whoring and gambling and drinking and trying to live his best life!

but the truth is, he doesn't have any real friends and he's only loyal to his broter

(has a complicated relationship with rian, but don't be fooled, he loves him okay?)

rian takes EVERYTHING seriously and garbhan seems to think everything is a joke

will flirt with your girl!!

knows he's the guy to have fun with but ultimately craves some actual love and affection in his life?

but also knows that the girls he'd want to love him, never would because he's The Worst(Tm)

so instead of love, he finds comfort in material things and spends money like valentina

One detail I find weirdly bittersweet is how both Orion and D-16 were curious young bots who wanted to learn more about their world. It's more obvious with Orion, who wanted to sneak into the archives to learn about Cybertronian history. I think it's mentioned in the novel that Orion would often ramble about Cybertronian history so much that D-16 would act disinterested, which surprised Orion since he couldn't understand how anyone could not be fascinated by it.

Yet, Dee was always interested in his own way. In the storyboards, his dream was to lead an expedition off Cybertron to explore uncharted worlds and locations for Cybertron’s progress. That boy was just as curious and eager to learn—both of them shared the same curiosity and thirst for knowledge, just channeled differently,he never even wanted to become something even remotely close to a soldier,he never wanted to pick up a gun at all and that makes me so sad.

This fits so well within the narrative sense of how they started with the same goal in mind—bringing down Sentinel and rebuilding society with the power Alpha Trion entrusted to all four of them. Yet, the paths they took to achieve that goal were starkly different. Orion saw how broken the system was under Sentinel and sought to create a better system. D-16, on the other hand, wanted to kill Sentinel, destroy everything he built, and rebuild from the ashes.

To think that, in a better world, their initial dreams could have actually been realized... it's just so sad. I need someone to write an AU where Dee gets to lead that expedition he always wanted and Orion to get that opportunity to learn about Cybertronian history,maybe in a world where Sentinel never succeeded in killing the Primes by a deux ex machina they survived so the two of them were able to grow up and live normal fulfilling lives 🥹.

Also I think it was also mentioned in another storyboard that Elita's dream was always to become a soldier imagine in this perfect scenario she gets to enlist in the High Guard or something like that,since they were the army of Cybertron before Sentinel took over, (although honestly I feel like she'd still try and overwork herself either way, she's still very much a perfectionist)

I wonder what B-127's dream was I don't believe it was ever mentioned,he did say he wanted to work for the government but I'm not sure of an exact profession for him.

I see a man who gets to make it home alive

but it's no longer you

(had angsty thoughts, realized they worked with this song, and made an edit. hope you all enjoy :))

From a writing perspective, I love how clearly you can see some of Ace's traits (*cough* flaws *cough*) in Luffy

Like how harsh he is with Shirahoshi and Momo despite really caring for them

And the way he didn’t want to run away from Big Mom or Fujitora and continue throwing hands

It's such a fun and natural way to show they grew up together

But there is part of me that just wants to grab him by the shoulders and shake him like not you too dammit

[k-martins]

I don't know how much Tsumiki knew about Jujutsu society, but I like to think that whenever Megumi and Gojo came back from a day of training in Japan's sweltering summer, she would wait for them with lemonade or iced tea and the three of them would sit on the porch. home while drinking.

Then Gojo would take them out for ice cream!

Hope you´re healing well 💗

20 and 30 for the ask game :3

thank you :D I'm in a bit of a low energy state rn which makes things look a bit more bleak but hopefully it is all just in my head, we will see in five days' time when I have my check in ^V^

Now for the asks OVO (under the line xD)

20) Tell us about a memory you hold close to your heart.

Oh there are so many especially with all the amazing blessings that Käärijä and Joker Out gave me last year. To just mention the one I am thinking about right now (probably because I really miss my bowl cut) Käärijä's home gig in Backas july 3 2024 when he catches my eye (and my flag) and compliments my hair saying that it is his old hair (he was blonde at the time like all of you probably remember but context is important) then half a show later catching my eye again excitingly pointing out my bulbasaur hat giving me the nickname Denmark Guy (my first real nickname since my name(s) has always been too unique to give me a nickname I guess). So yeah, that is one that definitely warms my heart when I'm feeling down :'D

30) What do your hobbies look like?

That is a funny phrasing x'D They look very creative x'D

I like to draw, listen to and play/write music, sing (choir and karaoke mostly), go to concerts, read... (that that out of those mentioned I mostly have energy for one maybe two these days bc recovery takes a lot out of me :'3)

Thank you for the questions ^V^

[that-was-anticlimactic]

one of the worst feelings ever is wanting to write but your hands hurt too much or the words just don’t want to work so you just sit there staring at a half finished doc with tears in your eyes bc you want to write and you need to write but everything is telling you that you can’t

[twistedappletree]

AINT NO FUCKING WAY

[quadrantadvisor]

I'm trying so hard not to be a hater but the more I learn about other ttrpgs the more the way that people talk about dnd annoys me

How do you go about building a relationship with G-d? I never had any real relationship with a god so I'm not sure how to go about it

I think you have to understand your personal needs and what you are comfortable with. Even when I was in xtian spaces, for example, what brought me away from g-d was the idea of fearing Him. I feared my abusers and any relationship built on fear is an instant toxic relationship for me, so instead, I build and foster my relationship with g-d based on love for Him and love for me. I love g-d, and in turn, I should love myself because g-d breathed this soul into me.

I think what also helped me was to treat my relationship with g-d in a similar way that I treat relationships I have in real life. When I don't speak to my friends, I feel distant from them. I forget what it's like to truly be with them, and in the same way, if I am distant from g-d, I forget what He feels like. That's not to say that I don't treat g-d differently than my real life relationships, because I do, but it's just to help illustrate what I mean. I feel close to g-d when I am fulfilling the mitzvot I can do - when I wear my kippah, I feel close to g-d. I am reminded of Him, and reminded of what I am, and it makes me feel secure. I know that He is close, that I can call upon Him, and praise Him, and think of Him at any point, and He will listen if nothing else. When I am upset about how little I feel I am doing, I remember these little things and I feel just a little bit better, and I am grateful for that.

I think basically, it can come down to:

1. What do you think a relationship with g-d looks like? If you have an idea of what that looks like, do you know why you feel that way?

2. How would you go about exploring fostering that relationship? Are there certain practices which call to you? If you can introspect about it, why does it call to you?

3. What does g-d mean to you? Are there factors in your life which influence your thoughts?

These are heavy questions, and there is no right or wrong answer. I think g-d just wants us to be close to Him, to do our best, and to choose Him. It might take you a long time to explore what you want, and that's okay! G-d can wait, He's not going anywhere. When you find something that clicks for you, you might just start to truly find what your soul yearns for.

I truly hope this might inspire you in any way. If anything, all I hope is that your budding relationship with g-d is yours and fulfills you. That is all I want from people who believe in Him, or who want to experience Him.

"i read the wiki and i saw the pages/panels already, why do i need to read the comics?"

because a) some those comics fuck with awing dexterity and stamina b) there's a good chance shit is out of context or simply misrepresented (innocently, humorously, ignorantly or maliciously) and c) you know the beats/endings of tons of shit, but it doesn't impede your enjoyment of it, now does it? sure it's nice to go in spoiler free, but if the gimmick of spoiling material is all a piece of media has, then that piece of media is meritless. you knew who luke skywalker's father was before you saw the movie. is it still worth watching? you knew romeo and juliet died before you read the play. is it still worth reading? do you not want to go on a journey? do you not want to feel something? do you not want to commiserate about the human experience through art? a wiki will never be comprehensive enough to cover everything you would have read or seen yourself--it can't be, not without being the thing itself. even then, you still miss the things not on the page/screen, the things that are only implied, the things that go unstated, or else conspicuously omitted. don't talk to me about shit haunting the narrative if the only haunting you've ever been apart of was your passing despite your dogshit analysis skills haunting the conscience of your eng 101 adjunct professor in perpetual fear of losing their contract and being relocated from their car to under a bridge by demanding college students demonstrate basic reading comprehension, critical thinking, and coherent argumentative skills. boast about killing the author? my friend, you are cain advancing in the fields, skulking, stepping in abel's footprints, filled with murderous intent, with nothing but the chinese telephone-equivalent of a description of a weapon cutting into your soft palms.

[plaguethewaters]

sometimes i wanna be insensible bout shit yk

[midshipmank]

actually had to forcibly separate myself from my grading because i was tempted to call a student an idiot on their test. not my proudest moment as a teacher

[writingfanficsfan]

Someone smart needs to explain to me why I needed to pay 61 euros more for my wonderful books by @not-close-to-straight to come to my damn country. What are they even doing with that money? Using it to buy their own books? 

It’s not drugs idiots, it’s books. Why do you need 61 euros to take my packages of books off the damn plane and then bring it to my house?! It can’t be that large and heavy that you need 61 euros more to hire someone to lift it, right?! 😡

[yuriyuruandyuraart]

"Ohhh, you practically had it."

"Tough luck, birthday girl. Maybe next year, eh?"

you promise you'll be there next year? you'll actually be here?? 🥺 <333
