I'm still borderline eating drywall over thinking about what things might be like for Davrin and Verbena
Like I love a good tank/support, frontliner/spellcaster ship, but... ngl, I bloody love a good warrior/warrior ship too
Watching each other's backs, wincing every time they hear a blade clatter off the other's shield...... taking hits meant for the other, the blood running cold in their veins each time the enemy calls out "the warrior first!", wishing with teeth grit that they meant them, and not their beloved...
Helping each other put on that cumbersome heavy armor, and making sure each piece is properly fastened on, as just another part of protecting one another... tapping each buckle and clasp with exaggerated care, just to know for sure that it won't be going anywhere in the heat of battle, that no mistake is going to leave them vulnerable...
On the flipside, methodically unfastening each one of the other's armor pieces, setting it all aside in a neat pile, lifting padded coats and chainmail over heads... marveling at the gorgeous creature they're unwrapping from under layers upon layers of protective material, like they're emerging from a cocoon, sweaty and exhausted but alive, alive, alive...
Massaging each other's sore muscles, and coating strong hands in soothing poultices before running them along tender, bruised skin untouched by the sun... trying hard not to think about how each mark on their lover's skin is a time they weren't fast enough, good enough, strong enough to protect them....
And of course, being unable to stop themselves from pushing their bodies just a little bit harder, doing things just a little bit flashier, a little more recklessly, just to impress one another, to show themselves in the best light, to prove themselves...
I'm very normal about all of this and everything about them based on the very, very limited information that's out about him and the game
#squirrel plays datv#oc: verbena mercar#just..... battle dynamics!!!!!!!!#i love interesting battle dynamics!!!!!!!!!#and the others all have their quirks and things that make me want to chew on my mouse but yknow#like i could write pages and pages on my feelings about my Iona in bg3 just... unquestioningly using her own body as bait#and trusting Astarion wholly and without a second thought to manifest out of the shadows and land That Hit (the sneak attack)#like!!!!! even if she can't see him she!!!!! trusts him!!!!! to keep his word and keep her safe!!!! graaah!!! graaah!!!!! fuck!!!!!!!!!!#ffs even if it wasn't too hot to play i wouldn't want to play her because i don't want the run to be over#but i want to get the epilogue scenes so bad............#sorry about the lots of ranty posts these days i can't promise that'll change anytime soon#oh what the hell i'll put the#squirrel plays bg3#tag on this too because the tags are all#oc: iona raedir

You know what I always think about? Percy is the classic funny boyfriend. He’s sarcastic and witty. Some of his jokes are sharp and clever, many are corny dad jokes. But nevertheless he’s hilarious. And yet, Rick rarely writes Annabeth laughing at his jokes. I feel like he thinks it’s empowering for Annabeth to just roll her eyes or scold him every time. But he’s funny asf!! Let his girlfriend think he’s funny!
There’s a scene in HoH where Percy makes Annabeth laugh when they’re climbing down a cliff, and she has to tell him to stop so she doesn’t fall to her death. Then in CotG, Percy says something and Annabeth smiles against her will, and it makes Percy so happy. Those scenes are rare, but so. damn. cute. That said, I wish Annabeth wasn’t always trying so hard not to laugh at his jokes. I want to see him be able to make her smile and laugh so easily that it’s not even fair to her. I mean, the guy can drop banger after banger—there’s so much opportunity.
If these new books are supposed to be lower stakes, give me percabeth laughter. Give me Percy cracking bad jokes and Annabeth bursting out laughing with no shame. Give me her cackling at his witty comment so hard that her abs hurt and tears fall from her eyes. Even though we know Percy is conventionally attractive, give me Grover making a joke that the reason Annabeth likes Percy so much is because she spends so much time with her eyes closed since she’s always laughing. I want people to think they’re kinda annoying. I want to see their friends giving them side eyes from across the table because Percy’s making Annabeth laugh so hard that it’s disrupting the whole room.
Annabeth’s reluctance to laugh made sense before they were dating and were bickering 24/7, when they didn’t want to show their true feelings. But that’s not the case anymore. And don’t get me wrong, it really frustrates me how Rick seems to be rapidly reducing Percy to simply being “the funny guy.” He’s stripping him of so many qualities and compensating with double the cheesy humor. But the worst part is that even when being funny is all Rick will allow him to be, Percy still doesn’t get to be the funny boyfriend. It’s as if he wants Annabeth to be too mature for her boyfriend’s bad humor. But if Percy is going to continue be diminished to the stupid, annoying guy who can’t take things seriously, the LEAST Rick can do is give him the ability to easily make his girlfriend laugh.
#let the poor guy make his girlfriend laugh#make it so annabeth is powerless against his humor#i just want to see rick put them back on the same level#not the weird dynamic he’s developed where annabeth is like his mother#they’re besties and battle partners#let them have fun together#pjo#hoo#percy jackson#annabeth chase#percabeth#percy jackson and the olympians#heroes of olympus#rick riordan#riordanverse

never gonna get tired of Aabria and Brennan playing dnd together, they know each other so well, they are so fun, they're clearly having so much fun ''does Evan have a grenade??'' ''idk will you let me? :)'', ''you know what I'm gonna ask'' ''yeah I throw myself in front of Sam, absolutely'', ''I'll give it to you, if you detach your shadow'' ''.....(pause, clearly aware that with Aabria as a dm, this will have Consequences) yeah I do it, I want to get all of them'', ''is my shadow back with us?'' ''no :)'' ''okay. (concerning)''
And that's just this episode, but there's so many little moments in all of their campaigns that really read as ''I will fuck you up <3'' ''I know and I am walking into it with open eyes <3'' from both of them, never hold any punches, because they know the other one doesn't want them to, just. Inflicting emotional damage on each other for funsies is a love language I guess?
It's beautiful
#aabria iyengar#brennan lee mulligan#mismag spoilers#dimension 20#mismag 2#you get this to a degree with a lot of ppl not just these two#but they're even more so bc they both dm for each other and play with each other at times#so we get to see the dynamic in all these different constellations and man it's so good in all of them#if it's Brennan dming it's Aabria having alert and building a tank of a wizard and fucking up all his little guys#and then Brennan inflicts emotional damage#if it's Aabria dming it's Brennan figuring out all her little riddles and punching her little guys#and then Aabria inflicts emotional damage#(they also inflict emotional damage on everyone around them)#(even more so when they're both playing pcs. battle for beyond was insane y'all)#is this post a bit parasocial i mean i guess so#but this is tumblr i'm allowed#if aabria sees this.... you know what it's fine aabria you've seen worse i'm sure#you and brennan are amazing at your jobs is all i'm really saying

When you look after the dead, the dead will look after you.
#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#DAtV#emmrich volkarin#DA Manfred#my art#quick scribble cos I’m suddenly filled with the dread of work#and it reflected in my muse#we could all use a Manfred to take care of us and help#I hope their relationship and dynamic is explored in game too#and that Manfred doesn’t just appear in battle as a summon#let him have convos and a presence#hehehe#the potential#I love it

mv2 is crazy when you think abt the implications of v1 and mirage basically almost being the same people like yeah idk. like im not saying theyre the same people but do you think that when v2 looks at mirage they catch a glimpse of their previous rival and the thrill of the battle and their eventual defeat and death. do you think that v2’s shoulder socket aches a bit more every time they look into mirage’s lens. do you think that v2 would be imagining v1 in mirage’s place for a split second when theyre in bed and mirage doesnt have her clothes on. guys uh
#mv2#mirage ultrakill#v1 ultrakill#v2 ultrakill#v4v implied#v4v#again im not dumb ik mirage and v1 arent the same#but still. still.#im actually the king of v4m4v#i dont ship v1 and mirage tho#i just dont really see how their personalities would mesh#mv2 works because v2’s personality is basically almost human#(at least thats how it is in dect)#but v1’s a straight up force of nature#thats a hard dynamic to bounce off romantically against someone like mirage lol#im sure someone out there can make it work but im not particularly interested in exploring it#instead i like to think about v1 and mirage’s connection through the lens of v2’s relationship with both#v2 works against v1 because theyre both passionate about fighting the same battle#v2 works well with mirage because she helps bring out their human side#etc#whateverrr#suggestive#for that last comment

the world of Kirby is hilarious to me because Dream Land is the happiest gumdrop rainbow world you'll ever see, and its king and all his friends like to beat the crap out of each other for fun
and then you have Meta Knight, who has such a lust for violence that he must play Fight Club with Kirby every so often, or else he goes crazy and starts blasting cities with his battleship
(and even when he is so satiated, that need to fight is what things like the Jamba Heart and ID-F86 have preyed on when they tried to brainwash him into evil)
#kirby#kirby of the stars#meta knight#it's funny - there's a lot of stories and franchises ABOUT fighting that don't even have this dynamic happening#and yet this happy colorful world is the one where folks gather for Kirby Battle Royales and Kirby Fighters 2s...for fun!#like even in street fighter most ppl are in it for some reason like police work or the prize money or talent scouting for terrorists#but nah - kirby and dedede buried their grudge after super star (ultra) and when dedede isn't possessed by evil he's just having fun

more incorrect quotes for the stillborn danyal au - dpxdc
---------
Student: so like,, *gesturing to Plasmius* is he like,,, your dad or...?? Phantom: he would be if he wasn't such a BITCH Plasmius: excuse me Phantom: YOU HEARD ME
----------
Under the Bleachers: Danny and Dash smoking in solidarity Dash: Danny: Dash: do you have notes from Lancer's class today Danny: since when do I ever have notes from Lancer's class Danny: I can ask Tucker but only if you have notes from Abernathy's class Dash: deal
-----------
Sam and Tucker: *making s'mores with Danny's lava hair* Danny, as Phantom: >:I Sam: you're just mad because you didn't think of it first Danny: yEAH
-----------
Danny, freshly ghosted: .... Danny: well. at least i dont need to waste money on lighters anymore
-----------
Tucker: with how long your hair gets we may just have to start calling you rapunzel Danny: don't you dare Sam: rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your lava hair Danny: NO
-----------
Danny's hair tie breaks in the middle of a fight Danny: fuck Skulker: language child Danny, pushing lava bangs out of his face: fuck you! just for this im turning your suit into molten slag Skulker: waitholdonwecantALK--
----------
Danny: you know, by your logic Maddie is equally as guilty for abandoning you as Jack. She also never visited you while you were in the hospital. Vlad, had put his infatuation with Maddie aside but still kinda had feelings for her: Vlad: you're right Danny, not used to an adult agreeing with him: I-- huh, I am? Vlad: yes. If Dr. Walker had cared about me -- even if only as a friend, she would have tried to remain in contact with me. But she didn't. She is also as equally guilty for the accident that took your life too since she also failed to properly check over the portal for flaws and any improper wiring. Danny: wait- wait, i mean-- Vlad: this means only one thing Danny, bewildered: ??? Vlad, extinguishing all lingering feelings: I have to kill her too (somehow) Danny: nO.

I know the decision to have Julian's parents have him augmented was made on the fly but imo its pretty obvious from early on that Julian has Family Issues because he avoids talking about his family like the plague and I think they should've incorporated this into the Julian and Sisko dynamic right from early on because I think it would've made for some really compelling stories and moments and could've set up a REALLY interesting Julian and Jake dynamic which they kinda started to do but never fully went for
#star trek: ds9#julian bashir#benjamin sisko#jake sisko#s1 Julian being so young and eager to prove himself and latching onto Sisko as this mentor figure to look up to#seeing Sisko with Jake and low-key seeking that fatherly figure connection which he won't even let himself think about#Sisko seeing this young brilliant doctor who's got all the makings to be something great and he's just GOTTA help him along#I think he would also catch on pretty quick that Julian's got Parental Issues#he tries to ask one day all casual like 'tell me about yourself :)' and Julian talks about nothing but Starfleet and med school#any attempts to ask about his family are met with awkward brief answers and redirections#and then theres the way Julian's eyes light up the first time Sisko invites him to watch a baseball game#like he Knows. he's a dad he Knows somethings up#but he doesnt pry#I also think it makes their dynamic more tragic towards the end of the series#where we have Sisko asking Julian to compromise his morals again and again#Julian's trust and respect for him gradually deteriorating#and then at the end of course Sisko is gone and they have no idea when he'll be back#which I think Julian would have a lot of complicated feelings about#but of course theres also Jake#I imagine they'd get closer#very brotherly dynamic#you know that scene in TNG where Wesley goes to Riker for girl advice and Riker and Guinan start flirting?#absolutely happens but with Jake asking Julian for girl advice and Julian wooing a girl at Quark's and Jake absolutely loses the plot#makes the events of ...Nor the Battle to the Strong more intense as well I think#also I like to think there'd be an episode where the B plot is Jake gets mad at Sisko and impulsively decides to move out#ends up at Julian's because he did not think this through#Julian is now very much caught in the middle of this family drama and he Fucking Hates It#also him and Jake are NOT compatible roommates but he's trying so so hard to be nice#eventually they have a talk and Julian cryptically hints at his own home life and tells Jake he's lucky he has a dad who cares so much#them being closer would work into what Alone Together sets up for them

shiv nation sound off. how we feeling.
#gonna be real this kid thing doesn't fill me to the brim with excitement. however. i will keep an open mind.#killing tom in this scene however. feel like this is the most heavy-handed i've seen him leverage his relationship with shiv#'hey do you remember those times when you liked me?'#usually there's at least like a hint of genuine feeling in addition to the relationship dynamic battle they're constantly navigating#this was just. he's scared so he's nostalgia baiting her while she's expressing genuine emotion#all around this ep was like hey. what if shiv was treated like shit#succession

I like the chaotic energy Battle of the Writers brings to me weekly, but I also know I'm showing up for Daddy x Puppy aka Pie x Ozone!
So I'm thrilled that Ozone keeps getting caught in lies, and this week's lie delivered him directly to Pie's lap.
Pie could've made his life easier by simply switching seats, but he didn't seem too upset about becoming the seat either.
No matter how annoyed he seemed at Ozone,
He seemed a lot more annoyed at Ozone's friend (read: jealous)
Pie puts on a good mean face,
But because I already ship them, I think he already has some affection for his irresponsible rookie writer.
He did casually mention "rewards" to a guy he has listed as "Puppy" in his phone so . . .
Next week when a very drunk Ozone uses him as a bluster at that wedding, he should just admit he already loves him, so I can have six episodes of them as boyfriends.
Or they can be like the novel these unhinged koalas are writing, and sleep together first, then fall in love.
Either way,
GIVE ME DADDY x PUPPY!
#my eyes are still rolling in the back of my head#battle of the writers#ozone x pie#they are such a good visual#and an even better dynamic#puppy x daddy#ahhhhhhh#just kiss already#smash your faces together#perhaps even your bodies#do it for me#literally - do “it”

me understanding that couples on the show don’t need to say ily to know they’re in love and the couples that need it don’t end well vs me wanting Mike to say he loves Will to contrast how he couldn’t say it to El
#like mike being able to easily say it to will because he’s actually in love with him#to show that he just wasn’t in love with el#but at the same time they have the unspoken understanding dynamic so it’s not necessary#it’s a constant battle for me idk#byler

I'm now reading Vigilantes and honestly it's quite fun. I like this found family we got, and Koichi really feels a lot like if Izuku were a lot more "normal" of a person (or imo, not autistic and less bullied lmao).
Koichi is a loner, incredibly nice, selfless, and heroic. He's an All Might fan who has (almost) every All Might hoodie. But he's not analyzing every little detail of each hero and villain and quirk he encounters and scrambling to write them all down, nah that's Izuku Midoriya's thing.
In fact, if you put them side-by-side, it makes it really apparent just how crazy and freaky Izuku is as a hero, as a nerd, as a boy overall. I love Izuku for it honestly, and it makes him more interesting, you can't even just chalk it up to how he is around 3 years younger than Koichi.
#theres a lot more I could add#comparing these two#theres also a very new trend on mhatwt going around#about talking about just how strong and crazy deku really is in his battles#its honestly great. he Is a fucking insane little guy who throws insane punches and kicks#i love this fucking monstrosity#wait...this was supposed to be abt vigilantes.#yeah i like the funky family dynamic. i hope koichi n pop never date#plspls tell me they're gonna stay siblings#evelynpr bnha#bnha#mha#my hero academia#my hero academia vigilantes#vigilantes#mha vigilantes#bnha vigilantes#koichi haimawari#izuku midoriya#deku
