#jury's still out

[aha-chuu]

After playing the archon quest, not really getting father - daughter vibes from Wriothesley and Sigewinne anymore.

I had previously thought she was a younger melusine (since she seems to be half human) but it appears that she's hundreds of years old. Plus she does act like an adult, aside from being unfamiliar with human customs (which makes her seem naive & young). Paimon even says that she acts more like "an older sister" despite looking so small.

Which,, I quite like this vibe for the dynamic too. Wriothesley and his adorable melusine friend who gets away with bullying him. Dude can't catch a break.

(which, also, Neuvillette is still girl-dadding, which great, but it makes his "About Sigewinne" voiceline so funny to me? "If anyone is upsetting Sigewinne, I will demand answers from Wriothesley at once!!" Meanwhile Wriothesley is just drinking tea like "what?? Why is this my responsibility???")

Transcript:

Ashton: He’s still watching the news, isn’t he? Darien: Yeah. Ashton: Pfft, cut the power to the TV.

Connor: Is that wise, sir? Ashton: [snorts] Maybe not. Darien: Wyatt, get out here!

Wyatt: [grumbles] He’s telling them everything. Ashton: Who? Wyatt: Kian!

Ashton: I’m trying to imply that he shouldn’t exist to you anymore, moron. Wyatt: Why didn’t he leave? He could’ve… Ashton: Perhaps he has a conscience.

Wyatt: … Ashton: Darien and I are heading out, are you planning on washing that greasy mop and joining us for a change? Wyatt: I’m not in the mood.

Ashton: Suit yourself. Darien: I didn’t come here to sit around all-… Wyatt: I don’t expect you to.

…

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Wyatt: Do you want to be here? Conner: Sir? Wyatt: Are you here by choice?

Conner: Of course, sir. I applied for the position. Wyatt: What do you do when you’re not here? Conner: It’s not usually required of me to talk about myself, sir.

Wyatt: Humour me. Conner: I enjoy cooking, playing tennis, spending time with family; my daughter loves the beach. Wyatt: Sounds.. nice.

Conner: Perhaps you ought to find something you enjoy, sir. Wyatt: How are you supposed to figure out what you enjoy when you don’t even know who you are? Conner: I don’t believe I can answer that, sir.

[LENGTHY SILENCE]

Conner: Is there anything I can do to help, sir..? Wyatt: [sighs] Can you stop calling me sir? Conner: Of course.

Please don't have either of them complete the ritual! They're both so sweet with each other, they deserve to be free and not destroyed by ascension!😭😭

Hi anon!! 💙

Some of the trajectory of this story is downward/towards darkness, simply because it felt impossible for Tyrus to not change over the course of his spawnhood, and disingenuous to not address Astarion's canonical fears and false equivalence that power=safety in all cases.

However, there is one part of this story that has consistently been an upwards/towards goodness trajectory: their sweet, caring love for each other. While protecting that spot of light in their lives has them eyeing dark paths, I have never intended to change their wholesome dynamic to something rooted heavily in power and control. Nor do they really have the option to carve Cazador up, considering the bond can only be severed by just one of them surviving.

To be more frank, spoiler below the cut:

No Ascension! I don't consider that a happy ending, particularly for these two. The dynamic will always be Wholesome Murder Husbands, not Murder Ascended and Murder Consort! 🤣

second day back to work and I already almost quit, it's a new record yall

[straynoahide]

How are things going on with the new medication, so far?

So Genesis eats hair

And Sephiroth eats Dis Pear

What does Angeal eat?

TW: cannibalism

Rhyming answer #1:

Not Fair

Sane answer:

He home-cooks as much as he possibly can, both to save money, avoid the cafeteria, and for the experience. When he can't, he eats what the company provides, or lets himself be dragged wherever Gen wants to take him and Sephiroth. Also Banora apples.

Dadgeal answer:

As the resident mom-friend, he eats his fingernails worrying about his babies. He means grown colleagues and apprentice. Also Not Fair because puns.

Unhinged crack answer aka rhyming answer #2:

WHATEVER COMES INTO HIS LAIR! He is a bear. It is not Fair. Unless it is and Zack has narrowly escaped death many times. Or Zack is actually a cyborg created to replace the human Angeal devoured! Who knows what the HoHos* did to him to make this monster?!

We already know he has loose morals from his time being a thief and a deserter. Dreams and Honor my butt. Made his own mentee kill him. RUDE.

Oh no...DID HE EAT RUDE?!?!

He grew more wings than the others, is it because he consumed more mako...and other things?! HOW DID HE GET SO BIG?! WHY IS HE ABLE TO GROW FACIAL HAIR?!

Angeal Hewley more like Angelofdeath Hewingyoudown. #feargeal2024

*Hojo and Hollander...HoHos are edible...so is hollandaise...Hojo however, might cause severe indigestion, do not recommend.

And one last mouth study for the time being. Thought I'd move on to 3/4 view.

[galaxa-13]

Read a story summary.

"This sounds cool!"

Read the story.

"Oh, this isn't where I thought the premise would go. I don't care for this."

Think about writing my own idea with the concept.

"But then people will just think I'm copying this other thing and not care about my own ideas."

Remember the two cakes meme.

"I'm gonna write the thing!"

tag-tagged by @freenarnian for this picrew + last song listened to. It was 'Mama' by Jonas Blue.

Ngl, it always feels great to get reblogs with tags that agree with you, but nothing quite hits the same as getting tags like this:

crazy sonic theory that makes sense to me and only me. y'know how stone in sonic 3 just kept mocking ppl when he really didn't in the last movies?

Like again

and again

and again?

What if it's just crazy foreshadowing for the next movie?

We know metal sonic is gonna be in it and robotnik went boom (when does he not tbh. He's probably fine)

Anyways, with robotnik presumed dead, who is left on earth that might've made metal sonic? Y'know, the robotic carbon copy of sonic? What some ppl might call a mimicry?? Or if they're mean a mockery??

Could it be, and just hear me out on this, that it was made by the very man who has been robotnik's shadow for who knows how long AND who makes fun of ppl by impersonating them??? HMMMM???

(for the love of God let him go crazy w/ grief I need his villain arc so bad)

*carefully picks you up and peeks into your conch snail shell*

Ehm... Sorry to bother, but... Could we, maybe, possibly... see Vasco's wife and her lover pictured by your hand? Sorry again, thank you for listening. Take care.

*delicately lays you back into the water to prevent any stress or dehydration*

Unfortunately I don't have her lover figured out yet, but I think Ludovica looks something like this:
