I actually have a fic idea but lc is a show that's like. you will never ever have all the information and context until the end. and I am a writer who writes best and more confidently when I have all the info and context at my fingertips. so now I'm just like 🧍♂️
anyway. ramble in the tags
#mine musings#it's an AU so it shouldn't even matter actually. but. whatever. i'll still try to write it. it'll take a while#it's more like character exploration anyway. a role reversal (my favorite kind of au)#i.e. what would the emma case look like if cxs is the one who keeps timelooping to save lg?#it's not a power swap or personality swap so i think it'll be an interesting exploration of the limits of their personalities#for example: in this au i think lg is still protective of cxs and acts as the guide. but he's closer to og!timeline lg#so i'm thinking that he's still very principled but perhaps less strict about doing small deviations from the timeline#cxs is still empathetic and reckless and i think that would actually get worse in a timelooping cxs#since he's the possessor he rationalizes to himself that he gets to shield lg from the messy parts of an operation#and how this self-matyrdom pulls at the fragile trust they have. because their partnership is never equal when someone is timelooping#i'm thinking in like the emma case this all comes to a head when emma gets the text from her parents#in S1 lg tells him “it's better not to look”#i think in this au. cxs would have already honed his acting skills and be like “lg. does she check the phone?”#and lg who is protective but a little naive and not as strict with rules is like#cxs looks so sad :( he's been missing his parents lately :( emma doesn't see the text until tomorrow but...#this probably won't change the timeline too much... right? i think cxs needs to feel loved right now :) “yes she checks her phone”#and cxs is like “... are you sure?”#lg: “yes i'm sure”#and then post-dive cxs finds out emma dies but he doesn't tell lg :) he just keeps it to himself :)#bc it's his job to handle all the messy parts :) like the emotions of their clients. their regrets and obsessions. their fates#in his mind. the more lg knows the more he tries to sacrifice himself to save cxs. so it's important that lg is kept in the dark#something something actor/scriptwriter metaphors idk still working on the idea#just. role reversal shiguang... cxs who keeps timelooping bc he has abandonment issues so he can't handle lg dying...#lg basically is like 9S from nier automata who always dooms himself by learning the truth#this could've been a read more instead of a tag essay i'm sorry. i keep forgetting that feature. i am a yapper in the tags#cxs after dragging lg out for dinner so he doesn't catch the news: “hey lg. we followed the script to a tee right?”#“i didn't forget any lines or anything?”#lg (confused) (lying): “yes. aside from getting the financial data part. we did everything right.”#cxs: “okay 😊 i trust you 😊 past or future let them be”#lg (internally): he's giving me his actor voice. he only does that when he's diving. why is he giving me his actor voice. did i mess up--

i will confess that i am mainly a bottom anakin/top obi-wan kind of person, but there’s something about the way you write top anakin/bottom obi-wan that makes me go like. no yeah i can see this. this tracks i can get behind it. anyway i am a switch obikin stan for you and you only <3
ahh this is SO SWEET dakgjhfkagjfs <3 bless!!! i'm glad people who like bottom anakin also seem to read/like my bottom obi-wan because i think that's the worst part as a writer writing both and liking both: there are people who have such a preference for one or the other that they don't read stories where that preference isn't there, which lowkey can suck just because as a writer i do want a ton of interaction with what i write because that's what makes it fun for me! interacting back! so if i'm putting a sex scene in a story i always triple question myself on who is going to bottom/top because what if that ruins the story for people?
my favorite stories are the ones where they a) switch or b) that dynamic doesn't matter in the story as a whole--like the sex scene is there, it's hot, i love it, but their relationship transcends a top/bottom role.
not to say i haven't written stories where their relationship definitely doesn't transcend that role (PBATMB, i'm looking at you, and the road trip AU as well I think), and i certainly love fics where there's an exploration of power dynamics outside of the bedroom that bleeds into the sex they have. that's 🔥🔥🔥
but i really really like exploring all facets of obikin i can find and think of and interact with: that means i love age reversal stories, same age stories, canon age. and i love stories where anakin is a brat or reckless and obi-wan wants to protect him and even possess him and that ends with him over obi-wan's knee or something. but i also love stories where obi-wan and anakin start relationships out on the battlefield of the clone wars and obi-wan feels really guilty for wanting anakin so he bottoms because it makes the guilt feel lessened. or vaderwan stories!! i love a good vaderwan story! or sith!obi-wan is such a huge fanon thing and obviously i love it too <3 their relationship and characters are so nuanced that it's always fun to turn it another way and look at it at a new angle
ahh this got so long im sorry i guess i wanted to ramble about switch!obikin a lot more than i thought lmao but please i don't want anyone to think i don't love a good kink story with top!one part of obikin and bottom!the other part. i'm absolutely here for those
#but switch supremacy imo#asks#i guess meta?#meta#i also think its so so so interesting to see the way writers for other ships write their top/bottom dynamics#cause like i know quigon/obiwan is a pretty big ship and it's hard to really imagine obiwan topping there though 'top' is#how ive seen his character described in a lot of joke posts#and im not saying anything or trying to start anything i just think its so interesting#that the same character can have so many diehard interpretations about it depending on who hes with#and i like writing stuff where they either switch in the story are implied to switch in the story or don't but sex isnt#the hugest aspect of their relationship#and then of course sometimes i write shit where one bottoms/subs exclusively (pbatmb and persephone au)#because its 🔥🔥🔥 to me personally lmao

@pips69 asked:
I've got a little AU-like question for the show. What if instead of trying to hold Winterfell, Theon did the Ironborn thing and put it to the torch before Sailing back to Pyke with valuables & hostages, one of them Ramsay if Theon would learn he's Roose's son? What might happen between them then? A friend and I were discussing this for a dark Theon/Ramsay idea.
Hi again! I think Ramsay would not easily allow Theon to do that, but try to outmaneuver him into staying in Winterfell anyway, because that’s where he can manipulate him more easily while advancing his own position. Hostage!Ramsay can still be the devil whispering in Theon’s ear (think of his ruse as fake!Reek in the books), playing him against Asha and Balon, etc., so we might eventually get to a situation where Theon fucks up completely and ends up in Ramsay’s hands as in OT, just through a different and much more convoluted path. Alternatively, if you’re into dark stuff, you could explore a full role reversal between them. It could go either way, but that’s about the extent of what I can speculate on this topic (elaborated what-if’s that depart too much from the canon storyline aren’t really my thing, I’m afraid, and neither is th*ramsay---I mean I find it a fascinating dynamic from a psychological perspective, but as a ship it gives me no joy).
If Tytos Lannister hadn’t died of a heart attack and lived until all three of his grand children by Tywin were grown up, what kind of relationship do you think he’d have with Jaime, Cersei, and Tyrion?
Tytos was kind of Tywin’s polar opposite: prone to laughter, amicable and generous, probably affectionate in his relationships. If he lives, he’s still the head of house Lannister, which means he stays in Casterly Rock while Tywin is in King’s Landing to do his job as Hand, so it might be that the kids see their grandfather on a regular basis and know him even better than their own father. I can easily see Tytos spoiling them with gifts of all sorts and enjoying spending time with them, even Tyrion. Oh, Tyrion would love his grandpa, who laughs so hard when he does his tumbling tricks (I’m obviously modeling this on the relationship Tyrion had with Gerion, since Gerion seems to be the closest in personality to Tytos. Though I do wonder whether Tyrion would find in Tytos someone who really loves him, or just another person who sees him as a funny little creature). All in all, I suppose they would have a good relationship with him… unless they have internalized some of Tywin’s—and Joanna’s?—contempt for Tytos’ weakness. (especially Cersei.) We should also consider on what kind of terms Tywin and Tytos are in this scenario, and if Tywin is ok with letting his kids grow up around his idle and gullible father. So I have mixed feelings on this tbh.
May I ask your thoughts on the northern lords (and lady) supporting Jon rather than Sansa? I completely understand why they did and actually prefer it this way as I’m not the biggest fan of Sansa (I don’t hate her or really dislike her or anything but Ramsay was my favorite character up with Cersei and I really, really hate how he died) but I can see why others are unhappy about it. How do you feel about it?
Discussed it here and I also have a tag for it, lol. :))
