PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I URGE YOU TO TALK ABOUT THE SEASON 6 CHARACTER DESIGNS. Mostly cus i wanna hear the salt, but also because as someone who's designed many outfits for these characters over the course of multiple years, you more than anyone have your place to talk

Honestly the episode was just *okay*, so the designs are really the only place I'm particularly heated (I mean I still have my complaints on the episode, but nothing as anger inducing as Season 5):

So I'll start with the heroes:

I'm not mad about cutting off Bunnix because nothing's different.

Viperion - I like what they did with the mask and the deeper color contrast is delicious, but the suit feels like such a downgrade from the old design.

Carapace - I guess this is the Season of the Mask Facial Hair? Viperion is encroaching on this, but Carapace's little chin bit looks like a Soul Patch. Otherwise, it's a good design and I like the additions!

Vesperia - At least it looks like they fixed the weird root issue she had with her bangs from the old model. From what I can see here, I don't dislike this, like, full inversion making the top yellow and the pants black. Dunno what the ring around her thumb is though, and why does she hold her weapon like that??

Rena Rouge - it feels like they made changes to her because they thought they had to? I'm not mad at the differences, just...they sure are there. My only complaint about her is that they colored her tail as if she has two tails but she only has one? Like...just give her two coattails.

At least they ditched the corset U_U

Rooster Bold - The pose makes it hard to see, but he looks pretty cool to me! LOVE the new mask and his bitchy heels. Didn't like the mohawk then, still don't like it now.

Ryuko - this^ picture doesn't show her off, so here's her from the episode:

The suit is still nothing amazing, but I like the scale texture and shoulders, I LOVE the bigger horns, and her hair is fire~!

Miss Hound - yikes on this picture, thank god she cameo'd in the episode:

She's cute! ...Honestly anything was an upgrade, she was just wearing a recolored version of her outfit in Season 4-5, so the fact this is it's own thing is instantly better.

King Monkey - yikes the lighting on this is scary. Anyway, I can't really glean anything from this and the only thing that stands out is the horns on the circlet. I'll pend judgement for now.

Pegasus - Similarly to KM, there's not much I can note here? He's got longer hair so that's...something, but I like that now the visor is a full visor and not a floating pair of glasses. And we'll have to see it in an episode because here I like the contrast between the browns, but the old suit also had that contrast in promo material and then lost it in the episode.

Caprikid - Loooove the fur on the pants for some reason, and I die for the boots little hooves~ Bold choice to go bigger on the horns when there was some controversy about them, but hey. At least they fixed the problem with his white mask.

Minotaurox - aww what a cute widdle hammer. It really looks stunted, a lot of the weapons here look skinnier and weaker actually. I don't think I like the yellow on the horns, but I like that we can actually SEE the details on his suit now. And I like the hoodie/hair.

Argos - yep. That's Argos.

Purple Tigress - Okay, she looks dope AF! No notes, she looks awesome.

Pigella - And on the other hand...yikes. There so much going on here, and in fairness I can't fully understand what I'm looking at. This is not what I meant when I kept adding pig ears to my Pigella design!

Polymouse - Okay, no lie, I DID like her in this still image, but uhhh she's in the episode and um...

Girl no. What's with these LED strips?! WHY is your HAIR going THROUGH you hoodie?! And I know in comparison to the other characters she's still "plus sized" but this still feels...bad.

I won't talk about Ladybug and Chat Noir, they're good. Not exciting not bad just good.

Sooooo the humans.... Mostly I'm bothered by how some are so drastically changed and some are just...not. At all.

Alya - her new Mom lewk. Idk, I just feel like they could've gone harder. She looks fine, I actually like her hair when I watch the animation in motion, it's just...she looks 25 now.

Alix - uh, yep that's Alix. Wait, did her pony tail switch sides...?

Zoe - She's found her 2000s emo girl aesthetic and is clinging to those crusty shoes. I don't like it, her dumb tshirt was really my biggest problem with her old design so of course that's the part hey keep. She just looks...disjointed. I'll hold on judgment of her hair for now.

Kagami - love the hair, hate the crop jacket. It makes her skirt look reeeeeally short.

Sabrina - AH! NO! BAD! WRONG! Hate the hair, hate the pants, I don't even think I like her new glasses. This is a chop, a CHOP!

Juleka - I don't...hate the hair. I just weep for what we lost. I DO hate her new boring-er blouse which is just a weak imitation of her old top. Her hair is so wild so why did her clothes get more boring?

Rose - Season 6 Rose can't hurt you, Season 6 Rose can't hurt you, Season 6 Rose can't hurt you-!!

Mylene - I like her new outfit, it feels like the natural next step for her! I can't get a good look at her new hair though, so I'll reserve judgement.

Nino - Damn, finally a full glow up. Nino looks good! This is probably how I would have designed him the first time around, so, yay!

Felix - you fucking loser, you didn't change here either?! Are SentiBoys just stunted?!

Kim - His big change is...getting sleeves. And his roots are more visible? I guess??

Max - Why this nerd got a smolder all of a sudden? I think he'd look good if they just finally ditched the suspenders, or had them hanging down and not in use.

Nathaniel - Have...have I drawn him in this? I feel like there's a Scarlet Lady version of this. I guess that tells you I like it, right?

Ivan - Hell yeeeeees! GLOW UP! He's like "oh, I gotta wear this nose ring all the time? Better make it ALL WORK TOGETHER!!" I didn't know he had it in him, good job!

Luka - uhhh, is he wearing a different jacket, or is that his old jacket in the new animation style? At least he stopped advertising his own father on his chest. His shirt being tucked in...it disturbs me...

Marc - ...I can't tell if he even got a hair cut because it might just be the new style.

So yeah, I have quibbles but they're overall okay.

If you really want nightmare fuel, you see the kwamis.

Ohhhh my golly I saw your Vox x daughter reader an it got me thinking now HEAR ME OUT….what if reader got bored on day an just went for a walk and somehow came across Alastor, now let’s say Alastor’s a lil confused like he never knew Vox had a daughter and readers like *sad sigh* “I’d be surprised if anyone knew” an Alastors all fatherly to her at first it was to get dirt on Vox without reader realizing but in the end he just liked hanging out with her. Eventually Vox noticed how his daughter is gone half the time but reader just convinces her dad that she’s always home and how HES the one always away. Change the ending how you see fit or do whatever you like but UGH I love your writing stay hydrated and eat wellll🩵

assjjjkkj thank youuu the amount of feedback ive gotten on this acc that ive only been posting on for like 3 days is insane, anyways this is such an interesting idea omgee

cw: reader having some emotionally absent daddy issues

fem reader

pt 1 here

ִֶָ 𓂃˖˳·˖ ִֶָ ⋆★⋆ ִֶָ˖·˳˖𓂃 ִֶָ

͙͘͡★ || so you had just gone out on an innocent walk, right?

͙͘͡★ || well, technically snuck out since your dad doesn’t like you going out by yourself.

͙͘͡★ || theres bad people out there! what if you got kidnapped or something?

͙͘͡★ || no one recognizes you, of course, since he doesn’t really talk about you let alone shows you to the public.

͙͘͡★ || you appreciate him for that, you guess, it must be annoying to not be able to go anywhere without a bunch of microphones in your face.

͙͘͡★ || you just wish he was around more! he barely makes any time for you and yeah, his work is super important and time consuming but you’re his daughter!

͙͘͡★ || lost in thought, you bump into a dude in the sidewalk.

͙͘͡★ || “whoops! excuse me, ma’am!”, he says in a weird, static-ish voice.

͙͘͡★ || your skeleton almost jumps out of your skin when you look up.

͙͘͡★ || the radio demon, the guy that your dad has had beef with since you were little

͙͘͡★ || you just stare at him with a “ :o “ look on your face, not knowing if you should run or not.

“little girl, are you, um, alright?” he stares down at you, slightly confused.

“im…uhhh…im okay!”

“you’ve heard of me, i suppose.”

“i guess…. my dad doesn’t really like you.”

“and who might your father be, hm?”

“yk the tv dude? the one thats, like, everywhere? yeah, that him.”

“hmm…interesting…i wasn’t aware he had a daughter…”

“well, he doesn’t really talk about…..”

͙͘͡★ || at this point you stop blabbing mid sentence, realizing you probably shouldn’t have said all of that to his sworn enemy.

͙͘͡★ || what if he does kidnap you and holds you for ransom?

͙͘͡★ || but he doesn’t do that, surprisingly.

͙͘͡★ || he asks you why you’re out alone so late and you shrug, saying that your dad wasn’t really there to stop you.

͙͘͡★ || you were naive and alastor was planning to use that to his advantage, not to hurt you, but to hurt vox.

͙͘͡★ || what would he think when he found out that his own daughter was buddy-buddy with his sworn enemy?

͙͘͡★ || he’d feel like a failure of a father, and thats what alastor wanted, to get under his skin.

͙͘͡★ || you guys walked while you told him everything, about him being away all the time, about you feeling lonely, while he nodded along

͙͘͡★ || you guys even stopped at one of those old timey bar places and bought you a milkshake!

͙͘͡★ || eventually you headed home, your dad hadn’t noticed you had been gone which figures.

͙͘͡★ || this became routine, you hung out with alastor and he gave you advice and stuff. you thought that if he had an ulterior motive it would’ve shown itself by now but no, it hadn’t.

͙͘͡★ || alastor himself had started to forget why he had even started all of this. he found himself enjoying your company and actually caring about you.

͙͘͡★ || after a while vox started to notice that he’s been seeing you less than he usually does.

͙͘͡★ || i mean, the tower is big but cmon! there were days where he would barely see you at all! where were you going?

͙͘͡★ || he confronted you about it at dinner one day.

“[name], dearest, i cant help but notice that i haven’t been seeing you around much lately. what’ve you been up to?”

͙͘͡★ || you pause, looking up from your food.

“i, um, dont know what you’re talking about.”

͙͘͡★ || he furrows his (virtual) eyebrows.

“is that so?”

“mhm!”

͙͘͡★ || vox is reasonably skeptical and resorts to spying on you through your smartwatch because of course you have a voxtech branded smartwatch!

͙͘͡★ || hes absolutely livid when he finds out who you’ve been sneaking out to be with and he’s waiting for you when you get home.

͙͘͡★ || you’re indefinitely grounded until he says so and he starts tracking where you go in the tower.

͙͘͡★ || he knows that its a violation of privacy and stuff but dont you see that he’s trying to protect you? alastor is dangerous! he doesn’t get how you didn’t see it earlier.

͙͘͡★ || alastor does succeed on what he set out to do, though. vox is distraught, feeling like a horrible father. he even vents to valentino about it out of all the people!

“-i mean, what kind of father doesn’t even notice their own child sneaking out in broad daylight every day? i should’ve paid more attention to her, im a failure!”

“mhm….yeah….”

͙͘͡★ || val obviously doesn’t give a shit.

͙͘͡★ || after not bumping into you for a while and seeing the up in vox slandering him online, alastor figures what happened.

͙͘͡★ || he’s glad that he succeeded in his mission to bother vox further but does miss talking to you.

͙͘͡★ || vox does vow to make more time for you and be a more attentive dad, so i guess some good comes out of this.

i do requests!

check out my masterlist!

[bg3-bitching]

so. okay. bg3 & asian characters. for our purposes i will be talking about helsik and cazador—note that they are both characters with east asian features. this is because, as far as i know, there are no south/southeast asians (at least, not with speaking roles). this is the first of our problems.

quick harper branthos mention btw. i love him. he's not got enough of a speaking role to be relevant here but i love him all the same

let's look at helsik from the devil's fee. during your first conversation with her, she mentions being a follower of "lord mammon". she requests payment for information, and will tell all for obscene prices. it's basically daylight robbery. also, for people who don't know, mammon as a character represents greed and avarice, and is often depicted as one of the princes of hell. she embodies the east asian (usually chinese) scammer trope—she tries to get you to give her all your money and then some. so like. that's not a great portrayal of asian people, and she's maybe the second one we've seen so far?

then we have cazador, who is. at least visually based on fu manchu which isn't a good association lmao (fu manchu is a fictional supervillain who uhhh. embodies the evil genius/mad scientist trope. the stache cazador has is named after him). so that's a bad look! not to mention that over the game, cazador has been built up as an evil, manipulative, abusive shithead who is also the villain of the favorite white boy's narrative. his whole shtick in the later half of the game is the rite of profane ascension, a demonic rite in which he must sacrifice seven thousand souls for power. so not only is he the source of all the favorite white boy's problems, but he's power-hungry as well.

wow! you may be thinking. what a weird coincidence that these two characters are tied to diabolic rituals!

isn't it just? it's almost reminiscent of how east asian people have been called yellow devils in the past!

sorry about the sarcasm but it's just tiring at this point. thank you, larian! thank you so much!

Good fucking God Almighty.

Larian how do manage to fuck up the only two notable Asian characters in the game that badly??? (It's by not having anyone Asian be prominent in making the game) ((I also hate how broad the term 'Asian' is, as if Asia is monolithic))

Since he was brought up, I want to say how uncomfortable I feel seeing and using the word "slave" to describe Astarion's situation with Cazador. Yes that is technically what he was, but should we really be saying a white man is a slave? ESPECIALLY when his "master" (big yikes) has POC features? It's giving "Persecution Flip" trope.

Thank you for sending this! It's good for people to see these harmful tropes and stereotypes so they can spot them when they happen.

13. More Than Enough

Cherri Bomb barges through the Hotel doors.

“There is that better?” She says to Charlie who’s sitting on the couch

“Better,” she nods

“Now where’s Angel?!” She looks around “Angel!!”

Angel sits up on the couch “Holy shit! Cherri Bomb!”

“Okay, this time I’m not leaving ’til you come to the club with me!”

He rolls his eyes “Ugh I can’t with you,”

“Come on! It’s been forever and you keep turning me down! Either you come or I’m dragging your skinny ass outta here!”

He throws his head back “Ugh fine! Just give me a minute!” Angel somersaults off the couch

“Really?” she smirks

“I needed to stretch. Now, I’m ready!”

Voe hears them from the kitchen where she stands in the fridge “Hey! Hey guys!” She waves 

“Oh hey,” he waves back, just noticing her there

She super speeds it over there “You guys are going out?”

“Uhhh…” Cherri starts

“Yeah, we are!” Angel cuts her off and she gives him the side-eye (XD)

“Can I come? The last party I was at was here, and I hadn’t been to any before that,” She smiles at Cherri

“Sure!” Angel agrees, and they both look to Cherri for her approval

“You know what? Fine, I like you when you’re pissed” Cherri smiles “Yeah come on!”

“Yay!” Voe exclaims

Cherri furrows her brow “Don’t be weird,”

Voe tilts her head in confusion, looking at Angel who just shrugs.

At the club, the three of them were sitting on bar stools

“Let me get a triple shot!” Cherri screams

“I want a double!”

“I guess a single shot, I don’t know?”

“Boo! Get a four!”

“A quadruple shot? But you’re only getting a triple,”

Cherri waves her off “Oh please I’m getting 9!”

“9 triple shots?”

“Yeah!” She pokes Voe’s arm “Come on, you’re fun when you’re fucked up! Get fucked up faster!”

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to,” Angel reassured her

“Oh come on!”

Voe shakes her head “Fine! A quadruple shot!”

“Yeah!” Cherri cheers for her

Once their shots are served they toast to one another and down them. The reason why Voe stuck to fruity drinks only is because she could never really understand how people could handle drinking regular flavored drinks. They burned going down her throat and left a disgusting aftertaste once they were finished. It’s a lose-lose situation. She shakes her head to try and come back to herself

“Yeah, see that wasn’t so bad right? Bartender get her another!” she calls

“Maybe she should slow down.” Angel reaches for Voe

Cherri slaps his hand away “She’s a big girl, she can handle it.”

Voe looks up at her “Are you flirting with me?”

Cherri snickers and puts her arm around Voe “See? She’s already getting more fun,” she passes the doe another quadruple shot, which she takes without thinking “Yes bitch! We need to go dance! Come on Angel!”

The spider follows the women cautiously, making sure nobody hurts them. They start dancing on the floor. Voe is kind of having fun, she has this burning feeling in her chest and this bubbling in her stomach, she wasn’t thinking about the way her body was moving or anything else. Her thoughts which were usually clear images, had suddenly become incoherent words and statements. She didn’t know when she walked away from Cherri Bomb or who the people dancing near her were. She didn’t even know when she had stopped dancing and started staring, or what she was even staring at. She was only vaguely aware of the hand that wrapped around her arm and started dragging her in a different direction. It was the hand of a stranger, and she had no idea where she was going, but she heard laughing, and she couldn’t move her body.

“Back off asshole!” Angel wrapped 4 of his arms around her and pushed the man away with two of them. She hugs him, smiling. The guy scoffs and walks away, Angel bends down and looks at Voe “You alright toots?” Voe’s eyes were directed at him, but it was clear she wasn’t seeing anything. “Okay you need to sit down, you’ve had enough” She nods only barely able to control any part of her body. She blinks and she’s sitting on a bar stool, Angel asks if she’ll be all right by herself for a moment, but she doesn’t answer, she can’t answer. When she blinks again, he and Cherri are arguing about something. Cherri snaps in her face and then seems concerned.

The next thing she knows the floor comes to her smashing into her face, when she opens her eyes Angel is lifting her head saying…something. She’s trying to listen, trying to focus, but she can’t hear it, all she can see are lights that are too loud, making her angry, music and people that are too bright, confusing her brain while making her anxious and the clothes she has on itching everywhere making her overwhelmingly sad. She places her hands over her ears and crouches into a ball, just wanting it all to stop. Tears roll down her face uncontrollably, she feels sick in her stomach, and she can’t do anything to stop it. She thinks she can hear Angel talking…something about her and…Charlie? She opens her eyes again to see him on the phone, he kneels to her and tells her to stay awake, right before closing her eyes and losing consciousness.

When Voe wakes up, it’s in her own bed, tucked under the covers. They were too tight on her skin so she pulled them off, breathing heavily while sitting up. Her ears turn towards the sound of a throat being cleared. She turns in the direction of the noise. Alastor was sitting in a chair with his legs pressed together, his head tilted with his signature smile as he watched her, assuming that he was in that same position before she had woken up. 

“Oh look, you’re awake,” his voice dripping with intrigue

“What? Did I-? What happened? I- What?”

“Well, you’d think I’d at least get a ‘thank you’ for getting you from that rancid place.” He squints at her, his tone playful

“What? You brought me home?”

“Yes. Apparently, Angel was quite concerned for your safety. He called Charlie for help.”

She’s confused “And…where do you come in?”

He crosses his hands on his lap “I volunteered to come and get you,” his tone is full of faux modesty

She raises her eyebrow “Why?”

“Everyone else was busy, so I decided to help out.”

“Okay, but why?”

“Why not?”

Voe plays with her fingers “I thought you were upset with me,”

“I was, but I don’t like to hold grudges,”

She laughs “That doesn’t sound like you at all.”

“Maybe you don’t know as much about me as you think,” his eyes glint

She sits in silence for a beat or two, taking in that information. “How did you get me home?”

“I carried you,”

“You carried me?’

He tilts his head back up “You are not heavy at all, my dear.”

She blushes faintly “And tucked me into bed?”

He shrugs “I thought maybe you’d get cold”

“And you’ve been sitting here the whole time?”

“Yes.”

“Staring at me?”

“Yes.”

Her eyes drift around “Why?”

“Why did you lick me?”

She flattens her brows “I told you I had an urge,”

“Mhm, the urge to lick someone with your unsanitary tongue?”

“Who said my tongue is unsanitary? I clean it very well,”

“You know you shouldn’t put your tongue on people’s faces,”

“Why?”

He blinks “What do you mean, ‘why’?”

“I mean, why?”

“Why should you not put your tongue on someone’s face?”

“Not someone’s, yours.”

His eyelid twitches “I suggest you do not repeat it.”

She waves him off “Yeah, yeah, we went over it.”

“But I don’t think you understand. There are people who don’t like to be licked,”

“Yeah, I get it.”

“Were you just allowed to lick people when you were alive?”

She rolls her eyes “Are you really still on this?”

He stares at her plainly “Yes.”

“Ugh, I mean, I guess? I didn’t do that a lot as a human. But the people I did do it to, liked it.”

“Hmm, you were with many strange people I suppose.”

“I guess so,” she lays her hands down on her lap

He gestures to her nightstand “There’s some water right there, you should drink it.”

She reaches for the cup and sips it “Do I offend you?” She asks

“No, you’re just a bit strange.”

She swallows her water “No offense, but you are not the pinnacle of normality,”

“And you are?”

“I never said I was, but I’m not judging anyone else,”

“Maybe it’s a generational thing. Back in my day, we didn’t go around randomly licking people. Even people we knew.”

“Maybe we’re just being ourselves?”

“Being yourself is licking random people?”

She rolls her eyes once more “Maybe,”

“Perhaps newer generations are just strange”

“Being yourself is committing serial murders. Surely that was highly unusual even in the 20s.”

He shrugs “We all have our things.”

“Maybe this is my thing?”

“Hmm. I suppose.”

She sighs dramatically “Have you been assigned to take care of me?”

“No, just wanted to make sure you were alright.”

She raises a brow “So you care about me?” she smirks 

“I suppose,”

She perks up “So you like me?”

“No. I care about you,”

“You like me enough to care about how I’m doing. I’m not asking if you want to date me or something.”

“Then I suppose I like you some. Trust me, I wouldn’t date a woman as strange as you.”

She looks offended “What does that mean? You think you’re better than me?”

“No, I just think you’re weird.”

She scoffs “Right, and you’re a resident of Normal Town?”

“It always comes back to me! I’m allowed to have my opinions about you,”

“And I can have mine about you,”

“Exactly!” 

“Our opinions are of equal value,”

He tut-tuts “Where is the Voe I met before? One would think that you might be a changeling.” He chuckles

Voe ceases all movement and turns to stare daggers into Alastor’s eyes “What did you just call me?”

“Ah, yes. That’s before your time. A Changeling is-“

“I know what the fuck it is!” She sits up farther

“Well, I’m not sure if they’re still around in your time period.”

Voe swings her legs over the bed “Watch yourself Alastor,” she leans forward

His grin stretches the bounds of his face “Oh? Or what?”

She squints “I might just grab that fluffy appendage above your rear and yank,”

“Oh?” His tone indicates pleasure “Have I awakened a sleeping beast?” His eyes widen

Voe’s expression turns dark “Do not play with me Alastor.” she speaks monotonously

“Aww but I do adore playing games with you,” He leans forward resting his chin on his hands “Are changelings not treated well in your time?”

Her pupils turn into flames “Stop saying that.”

They stare at each other in silence.

“Aww. You have changeling relatives, I assume?”

In an instant, a flaming palm struck him across the face, leaving a burn in the shape of a small hand on his cheek. 

Alastor’s eyes are wide with excitement and delight “What’s gotten into you tonight?”

“Well, since you insist on being an absolute dick-“

Alastor fakes offense “Me?”

“Don’t cut me off motherfucker.”

He gasps “Yes ma’am,”

“You insist on being an offensive asshole, like what is it a fucking kink?”

Alastor laughs sarcastically “Oh I get it. So you can be as bitchy as you want,” Voe widens her eyes in surprise at being called a ‘bitch’ “But when I tell a small innocent joke, then it gets to be ‘too much’ for Voe the Beau?”

“Excuse me-?”

“Oh darling, you are excused.” he rises to his full height “SInce day ONE, you have been bothering me for no reason, you made a fool of me on your little ‘livestream’, you LICKED me, and you DON’T KNOW ME!” His antlers grew in size as his claws grew in length and his sclera turned black and his pupils red. 

She jumps down off the bed “THAT IS NOTHING COMPARED TO BEING AN ABELIST ASSHOLE!” Voe’s arms grew scaly and her nails turned into claws, large horns growing out of her forehead.

“A WHAT?”

“ABLEIST ASSHOLE!”

“GREAT, NOW YOU’RE MAKING UP WORDS!”

“ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP YOU LITTLE BITCH!”

“WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!”

Her form grows in size “NOTHING IS WRONG WITH ME! EXCUSE ME FOR BEING ANGRY WHEN PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF MY DISABILITY!!”

He looks very confused “WHO SAID BEING A CHANGELING WAS A DISABILITY??”

“YOU DON’T ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT A CHANGELING IS DO YOU?”

“OF COURSE! A CHANGELING IS A LITTLE MAGICAL CREATURE THAT REPLACES CHILDREN-“

“NO!”

“YOU’RE NOT EVEN LETTING ME EXPLAIN!”

“I KNOW WHAT YOU THINK IT IS! BUT WHAT IT REALLY IS, IS A PERSON’S EXCUSE TO ABUSE OR EXPLAIN AWAY THEIR AUTISTIC CHILDREN!!!”

“WHAT THE HELL IS AUTISTIC???!!”

She glares at him silently, her chest rising and falling with her heavy breaths. 

He returns to his normal form “Okay, how about I leave you here alone with whatever your ‘autism’ or ‘ableism’ is? And we just stay out of each other’s way.”

Voe takes a deep breath, returning to her regular form, where she calms herself.

“I have autism.”

“You have what?”

She slaps her forehead “Oh right, you died before that was discovered. Autism. It’s a developmental disability that affects how people communicate, interact, learn, and behave. My brain is wired a bit differently than other brains.”

Alastor stares at her, smile as wide as ever, but eyes as blank as a new sheet of paper. 

“And what does that mean exactly?”

The corners of her lips turn up “It’s considered a mental disability. For me, it means I have difficulty reading people’s emotions, or knowing what to say in certain situations. And you know, having issues with processing certain noises.” 

“You certainly seem good at reading people to me my dear,”

“That’s a skill that I developed. It’s not innate to me. My dad-he’s a psychiatrist- he taught me because he thought it would make things easier for me.” She chuckled “He was always right.” She smiled absentmindedly while she thought of her parents “It also affects my behavior.”

He raises his brow “How so?”

She laughs “Y’all have caught me doing ‘weird’ stuff. Like my ‘meows’, which are classified as ‘stimming’, a behavior we use to stimulate ourselves. Or sometimes you might feel like things I say are…’ inappropriate’ for the moment, that’s because I can’t tell a lot of the time. And this.” She gestures to herself “The whole reason you had to bring me home. That was sensory overload, it was much worse than when I was alive. Everything is much louder and brighter and much more intense to me here. It’s all autism. That’s why.”

Alastor rubs his chin, processing the information. Spending time with Voe meant learning something every time she spoke.

“When was this invented?” 

She stares at him incredulously “Well it was first diagnosed in the 40s, but it’s always existed.”

“Always?”

“Always.”

Alastor’s brain took a break for about 5 seconds before returning to his body. 

“Hmm.” Was all he could find to say 

“When you use the word ‘changeling’ you are implying that autistics aren’t human like everyone else. Like, we’re magical creatures or some shit. I’m a human being. It’s offensive as fuck.”

Alastor sits down on her bed “Well, I apologize.”

“Really,”

“Yes. It was not my intention to offend you to such a degree.”

She sits back down next to him. She smirks “Ah, but you meant to offend me on a smaller degree?”

“No, I meant to simply annoy you. Offense was not on my agenda. I apologize.”

She relaxes “I’m sorry I slapped you,” she smiles sheepishly

“No need to apologize for something well deserved my dear,”

Neither of them speak for a moment.

Voe turns to him “Can I lean on you? I’m still feeling weird in my head.”

He hesitates, inhaling briefly before answering “Sure, darling.” she leans her head on his shoulder

There are a few beats of silence before Voe chirps back up.

“Did you always want to do radio?”

He is a bit caught off guard by the question, but answers quickly “Well, yes.”

“Why?”

“Because in my time it was the pinnacle of entertainment!” It’s quiet yelling, showing his excitement at the subject “All the biggest stars were on the radio. At least, in my opinion.”

“Okay…but why?”

He is confused “What are you asking me?”

She turns her head up to look at his face “What drew you to radio in the first place? It can’t just be about the entertainment. I know you’re more than that.”

Alastor had never been asked that before, so he didn’t know how to answer. He’s quiet for some time while he ponders her question. His search for the answer takes him way back to his childhood. A time when he couldn’t fit anywhere, a time when no one had an interest in his voice, but only his face. Only his race.

“I suppose that…it’s because…on the radio…it doesn’t matter what you look like. All that matters is your voice. And you know that you’ll be heard because that is the only option.”

She smiles at him “I knew it.”

“Knew what?”

“That there was more.” She leaned back onto him, while he stared off, wondering how she was able to get that out of him.

“You’re too much.” He’s smirking now

“I’m too much? You’re too much. I think I’m just enough!”

“I think I’m more than enough.” His eyes are lidded now, barely open, and yet still fully capable of taking her in at this moment. His pupils at the bottom of his eyes, seemed somewhat relaxed. It showed on his smile as well. Instead of a full view of his glinting yellow teeth, his lips were closed, and he looked kind of…normal to say the least. Showing that his confidence is not all an act, but to some level it was sincere. He wraps his arm around her shoulders.

Right before she threw up on the floor.

Alastor rolls his eyes “Lovely,”

A/N: Once again, letting you know that the smut is below this point. Ok? Cool

Velvette had requested to see her immediately, so Voe knew that the predicament was serious. So now here she stood in the studio, while her boss paced back and forth in front of her.

“Do you know why you’re here?”

“Because I work here?”

Velvette stares blankly at her employee “No. It’s because of this,” She shows the doe a video on Sinstagram of her at the club the night before with thousands of views. It was her in the middle of sensory overload, crying and curled up on the ground. “What. The fuck. Is this?”

Voe looks around very embarrassed, “I..went to the club last night and had a bit too much to drink, and I started to…not feel well.” She plays with her fingers nervously

“And you thought the best solution was to lay on the ground in the fetal position??”

“I wasn’t really able to control my body at that point in time, so…”

She puts her hand on her forehead “Ugh, please don’t tell me you’re addicted to heroin,”

“What? No!”

“So…?”

She purses her lips “It’s kind of an autism thing,”

“Oh! It was the autism, great!” She sounds relieved

Voe shuffles her feet “Are you upset with me?”

“What? No, I just wanted to know what was going on.” She turns to her “I am all over social media, so when I see one of my employees like this,” she holds up the video again “I need to know why. My advice is always bring seltzer water with you to the club,”

“Ew,”

“You say ew now, but trust me, you’ll be thanking me. Well,” she looks around the room “Are you okay?”

Voe exhales “Yes. I am now, thanks for asking.”

“Mhmm,” she scrolls through her phone “You have to take care of yourself. You can’t work if you’re unwell.” 

“Yeah, I’m sorry.”

Velvette walks up to the doe “You don’t have to be sorry, things happen. Just don’t overdo it. I don’t know what I would do if something happened to you.”

“Oh, I’m sure you could replace me,”

“No, I couldn’t,” she stands directly in front of Voe’s face “You’re irreplaceable,” she tilts Voe’s head up to look her in the eyes

“Oh, thank you.” Voe flutters her eyelashes

The doll whispers “Oh you’re so welcome,” the doll leans down and plants a soft kiss on the model’s lips.

Voe blushes “Oh, you just kissed me,” 

“What, did you not like it?” the doll asks with lidded eyes

“Oh, I-I liked it, I just didn’t know you saw me like that,”

“Who wouldn’t, you’re so gorgeous,” she kisses her again, longer this time

Voe pulls back for a moment “Oh my gosh Velvette!” the Overlord raises her eyebrows “You’re my boss!”

“We’re in Hell baby, what does it matter?” Velvette places her other hand on the other side of the doe’s face, pulling her in for another kiss. Voe giggles nervously and excitedly into the kiss as she wonders what to do with her hands. Velvette places her hand on Voe’s butt, and Voe squeals in excitement when she squeezes it. She also puts Voe’s hands around her neck and pulls Voe closer. As their mouths continue to move in sync, Velvette slowly maneuvers them towards her desk, until Voe is leaning up against it. She trails her fingers down from the model’s ass to her thighs, touching the supple and smooth skin. 

“These thighs are my weakness,” Velvette says walking her fingers up and under Voe’s hot pink dress, dipping into her panties and rubbing her swollen slit, reveling in the wet sound that it made. “Ah, you hear that babe? That,” she looks her in the eyes “Is music to my ears. Do you hear how wet you are for me? And you’re acting surprised that I want you, I could practically smell your wetness from the other side of the room,” She dips her finger into Voe’s wet cunt, causing a squeak from Voe. “Is that okay? Does it hurt?”

“It’s just a little uncomfy,”

Velvette tsk-tsks “Well, I can’t have my favorite model uncomfortable,” she concludes as she lifts up Voe’s leg, forcing her to sit on the desk. Velvette held her leg up by the ankle and sticks her finger back into the model’s cunt, which this time is met with a moan. She meticulously curls and pumps one finger, then two, then three fingers in and out of Voe, getting her sweet spot each time, her moans getting louder and louder, Velvette’s eyes never leaving Voe’s face. Watching every twitch of her mouth, every time her eyes rolled back into her head, and every single moan that left her lips. “Come on baby, you can cum for me. I know you can do it.” the knot in Voe’s stomach grows tighter and tighter as her boss pumps her fingers faster and harder, shaking the desk vigorously as she pumps her fingers in and out. She smiles as Voe’s moans go silent and she throws her head back.

“Let me hear you sexy,” Velvette grabbed one of Voe’s thighs to steady her as she pumped harder and harder, the ramming of the desk could be heard on other floors.

“Oh my gosh! Mmmmmfuck!” Voe screams

“Yeah that’s right, fuck baby,” Velvette licks her lips as she pumps faster and faster with Voe creaming all over her boss’s fingers. Velvette sticks these fingers in her mouth, licking and sucking all the juices off them, “Holy fuck, that tastes fucking delicious!” she says before burying her face inside Voe’s cunt before the doe can stand up

“Uhhh,” her moans sound extra feminine as Velvette sucks her pretty clit, dragging her tongue between the doe’s folds

“You’re so wet sexy,” she pulls her head out “Who made you this wet baby?”

She bites her lip “You Velvette,” even though that wasn’t exactly true 

“Yeah, you’re so wet for your boss. Why?” she asks tickling the woman’s thighs

“‘Cuz you’re so gorgeous Velvette,”

“Mmmm, you’re so gorgeous Vera,” she sticks her tongue inside the woman’s cunt

Even though she moaned at the Overlord’s actions, she wasn’t sure how she felt about Velvette calling her by her true name, but she was 90% sure this wasn’t the right moment to bring it up. She bobs her head back and forth in and out of Voe’s pussy, her tongue exploring her insides in ways her fingers just couldn’t, then returned to small suctions on her clitoris bobbing her head faster and faster, her second orgasm coming through like a train on a railway track.

Once Velvette came back up from Voe’s dripping heat, the doll went to the other side of the studio and grabbed a chair, dragging it over to where the doe stood against the table.

“Sit down,” she orders her employee. Voe listens without question and watches as Velvette reaches up under her dress and pulls off her panties, tossing them to the side like yesterday’s gossip. She bunches it up to the side and says “Move this leg,” pointing to one of Voe’s legs, which she moves, and sits down on the model’s thigh. She places her arms on Voe’s shoulders and scooches closer to her until her cunt is right on top of Voe’s. She moans at the friction of their clits on one another, looking down at the doe whose eyes are no longer focused.

“Voe,” she says, forcing her to come to full attention

“Hmm yes?”

“I’m gonna ask you some questions okay?” she starts thrusting her pussy into Voe’s, slowly at first. “How do you like your job hmm?”

Voe tries to stifle her moans “I..I…love my job.”

“Yeah? How much do you love this job?” 

“Sooo much…uhhhh.”

“What do you like about it?” She begins playing with Voe’s breasts through her clothes

Voe is biting her lip and her eyes are closed, the breast play making it even harder to focus “I like…mmfuck…getting to….be on…tv and… uh taking pictures, and I like you,” needy moans cutting off her sentences and thoughts

“Oh, you like me? Fuck!” Velvette’s low moans complimented Voe’s high-pitched ones “What do you like about me? Hmm?” Her thrusts gradually increased speed

Voe lets out a small whimper “I like, how smart you are and how you’re so in charge…and…you’re so pretty…beautiful,” 

“Oh, you think I’m beautiful? What’s beautiful about me?” Velvette slowly pulls down the model’s clothing and reveals her breasts, going down to suck on one “Go on, I can’t hear you.”

Voe looks down at her to see her face, to be able to describe all the beautiful things about her “Your eyes….and your…hair. Your skin,” Velvette’s eyes look up at her while sucking on her nipple and she moans desperately, looking at the Overlord on her.

“Mhmm?” Velvette goads her while switching to the other nipple

“Your lips-

She ‘pop’s the nipple out of her mouth “My lips? You like my lips” Voe nods “Do you like when my lips do this?” She pulls on Voe’s nipple with her lips, leaving Voe making a strained squeak, rolling the nipple around “What about when my lips do this?” She puts her mouth around the nipple and pops her mouth on and off of it, Voe making short, shaky moans as the Overlord thrusts even faster into her cunt.

She comes up from her breasts and looks her in the eyes. Squeezing both nipples in her fingers. “You know what I like about you?” She whispers against the model’s skin

“Please don’t stop,”

She grins diabolically “I like how soft you are,’ she pinches her nipples harder, rocking the chair back and forth against the desk “Your skin, your hair, your thighs,” she drags her cunt along Voe’s before thrusting in quick circles. The influencer’s eyes squeezed shut “How you look so sexy in the clothes I make for you and how cute your voice is…”

Voe reaches out to grab her breasts and Velvette laughs with pleasure “Go ahead, touch them,” pulling down her dress, just as she had done to Voe. Her moans are controlled contrasting the sporadic ones Voe was letting loose. “And what I like most about you,” She twists the nipples in her fingers and Voe does the same to her, eliciting another moan from the Overlord 

“Yes, keep fucking doing that pet. Yes..” She bites her lip, leaning over into Voe’s ear “Is that you do everything I tell you to. ‘Cuz I’m the boss right?” she twists her nipples faster

Voe nods quickly, feeling another orgasm coming on 

“Right, I’m the boss?” Velvette thrusts faster and faster, feeling the oncoming of her own climax “I want you to say it.”

“Yes! You’re the boss! Fuck..please!”

“Suck on my tits pet,” And Voe does as she’s told, holding Velvette close as she sucks on the Overlord’s breast. Velvette thrusting faster and with more force, now that the focus was on her, Voe’s hands traced along Velvette’s soft perfect skin, as their wet cunts met over and over and over again. Switching between her nipples like this might be her last meal. Velvette pushes her back against the chair, seizing hold of her nipples once more. “Cum for me Voe,” she whispers “Cum for your boss,”

Voe has sweat dripping down her forehead “But I-“

“Shhh,” she pinches her nipples harder “Feeling you cum on my fucking cunt will make me fucking cum,” Velvette screams with pleasure “So fucking cum for me.”

And once again Voe does as she is told, her body jerking and her cunt twitching under her boss, letting out a surplus of juices, and then riding it out as Velvette’s soft pussy twitched on top of hers, their juices mixing into a new concoction, that slowly drips onto the floor, while Velvette continues to fuck through it, her thrusts getting slower and slower.

She gives one last suck on Voe’s tits before going up and pulling her into another kiss. Once she’s steadied herself, she stands, her dress falling back down and helps her model up. Velvette shakes her hair down and says “You will have to do damage control on that video, try hitting it from the ‘mental health’ angle, that should work. Well, you are free to go, I’ve got more work to do that you can’t help me with. I’ll see you and your delicious pussy later,” She pinches Voe’s still exposed and very sensitive nipple, making Voe whine in surprised pleasure as she pulls her clothes back up.

Velvette walks away from her and then turns back around “Oh and Voe,” the doe looks up “Do expect this to happen again, love.”

OPINIONS AND COMMENTS ARE NOT ONLY WELCOME BUT REQUESTED!!

Chapter 14>

[oplishin]

what are your thoughts on patho 2 re race

i don't think you were looking for such a long response but uhhh you're getting one!!!!! smarter people have discussed this better, but i have a lot of feelings.

the good:

the broad strokes of artemy's relationship to his race: everytime i have replayed p2, i find myself surprised by how much artemy's angst resonates with me. he can fit into the broader, white culture of the Town, but that acceptance is always conditional. his friends have this "you're not like them" attitude, or they're just outright racist to him. they hate his people but like him. He's also not accepted by the Kin- he's spent too much time both in the Town and outside of it. the way elders in the community chide him is too real, haha. artemy discovering that the cultural practices he ran away from in his youth actually really, really matter to his identity is a feeling i find uhhh really relatable!!! this aspect of p2 just rings really emotionally true.

i like the way (some of) the racism is written: vlad jr is obsessed with learning about the culture of the Kin, he's even gained some trust with them, but wow, he does not give a shit about them when it comes down to it. they're an object of study to him, artifacts to collect, not actually people. andrey takes the cultural art of twyre tinctures and uses it to make a profit and to get really high. he keeps a dancing herb bride in his bar as entertainment. rubin's deal feels similar, he's learning kin traditions because of his weird weird relationship with isidor, but he hates the people. i like that foreman oyun sells out his culture, and that he hates himself so much for it.

okay. it's only downhill from here.

the bad. there's a lot:

the endings

i think the endings are cynical to the point of being unnuanced and un-interesting. the tragic mulatto trope played as straight as possible to a comically extreme degree. either almost every NPC you've met dies, or you destroy the remnants of your indigenous culture. it's just. i don't know. it wouldn't be very pathologic for this to have an actual magical solution- there isn't a magical solution in real life, the status quo just churns onward, and indigenous bodies and lives are discounted. i don't know. i don't know!

i hate that the game presents the diurnal ending as better than the nocturnal one. this is the part where my faulty memory is troublesome- i may be getting the way the fandom treats the endings mixed up with the way the game does. sorry if that's the case! the diurnal ending is bright, the town you've spent so much time saving is safe at last, all your children and friends are rebuilding their lives in interesting ways that you get to take part in. but it's fucking disgusting! the bodies and lives and culture of indigenous people are utterly discounted. this includes artemy, who's doomed to forever try to fit into white society, to never be able to pass on his cultural traditions, who just has to let himself die. the only person who mourns is a dying Aspity, who was one of the last people to carry on and teach tradition anyways. it's terrible.

i,, honestly do not remember much of the nocturnal ending, and a lot of went over my head when i played it. the majority of people read the nocturnal ending as "the bad ending"- all your friends die. and even though they're all super racist, you care about them, probably.

whyyyyyy are the indigenous characters written Like That????

it is fucking embarrassing that 26/29 of the Bound are white. i cannot believe this did not change with 14 years of hindsight post p1. well, the game did add nara, and she deserves her own paragraph!!!! wow, lucky her!!!!!!!!! the kin are so fucking underrepresented within the major characters. the white characters are given complex, differing perspectives about the nature of government, spirituality, morality and guilt. pathologic 2 writes the Kin as a mystical, esoteric hivemind. the non-diversity in the perspectives within the Kin was always something that bothered me, even when I was 15. They do not feel like a real, breathing living group of people. minority groups are not monoliths. i think the game wants to represent them as a collectivist culture, but is too racist to know that people within collectivist cultures uhhh have opinions about things.

p2's racism is just slightly more subtle than p1's, to the point where my stupid fucking 15 year old self didn't pick up on it as much. but god, it also asks the incredible question "what if racist stereotypes were true? wouldn't that sort of justify mass genocide? isn't the diurnal ending just as valid as the nocturnal ending?"

so much justification for the white characters' racism within the fandom comes from "but the indigenous characters did [x] bad thing! but their culture is misogynist!" which 1) fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you 2) someone made the active choice to write the indigenous characters like this. now why would they do this??

the misogyny

god i fucking hate the herb brides. i know that the fandom has tried to reclaim them in interesting ways. i just really cannot. why are these dancers all soft and curvy in the correct ways? why do their clothes fall off to look like they're wearing raggedy skimpy swimsuits? why are gamers soooo horny?? i'm. i cannot! i can't. this game has an asian women fetish. no thanks!

this brings me to the nara thing, which, okay. i'm about to get really mean!!! nara is this demure, docile, exotically sexy lady who's totally cool with giving up her agency artemy and being killed by him because the game has deemed it necessary. sorry, i do not care abotu the diegetic reasons for this. there's a dream sequence where her sexy sillohuette dances in the void. why? this game has a misogyny problem! and a yellow fever problem!! so much of her dialogue is dedicated to "ohhh i'm trying to make you less uncomfortable with this, artemy :(. i'm indifferent i promise :((" she doesn't protest in her death, she just says lore at the player. i'm not happy. i find the attempts to reclaim her in fandom admirable, i'm just. disgusted! by all of it! this game owes me reparations.

[aprillikesthings]

The next episode itself is a two-parter, and I think that rather than split them up I will just watch through, which might mean I have to reblog this post multiple times.

Finishing out season four!

s4, eps 12&13 Destiny

Usual reminder: this is a REwatch and there’s spoilers ahoy, I make a lot of bad jokes (some of which are Adult In Nature), I reference other cartoons, I make random asides.

(also, this time specifically, I had some alcohol)

Tbh? it's a lot like watching things like this with me in person aaahahaha I always want to pause and infodump shit -_-

lol Emily is destroying Shadow Weaver's garden

Emily acts like Mal the cat does sometimes. WHAT IS IN YOUR MOUTH you are not supposed to have that! Get out of there!

UGGGH

it's easy to forget how BIG Scorpia is??

LOLOL oh my god I went downstairs for like an hour and a half talking to my partners about the most random shit and then playing with the cat and also: I've had most of a can of wine.

One of these:

YEAH (that's a huge image)

so if these get weird: blame the wine I guess

oh also @corpseauthority and I picked out fake fur and minky fabric for the ears and tail of my Catra cosplay :D :D :D I'M SO EXCITED

OKAY BACK TO SHE-RA

the only thing better than Scorpia's "huh?" is Shadow Weaver's flat "what"

Shadow Weaver: no we need the other princesses Glimmer: well they're gone but-- Scorpia, Shadow Weaver, and Emily: WAIT, WHAT???

AND THEN

okay but is the guard telling you this Double Trouble

ROLL INTRO

that thing was not meant to hold four humans and a horse with wings

why are you SNIFFING HIM

Entrapta: "I don't know you" Micah: "Yes, you do. You stole my food." Entrapta: "OH YEAH! It was delicious :D"

oh god Adora's like "....but are you okay? we came here to find you 🥺"

and she's like YEAH I'M GREAT

"each more deadly than the next??? it's PARADISE"

I love her so much oh my godddd

Bow: "We're here to rescue you" Entrapta: "didn't I just rescue YOU?"

Bow mentions Hordak and Entrapta pulls her little new bug-eye mask down :(

Adora: so hey we uhhhhhhhh really need your help due to a terrible secret of the First Ones that nobody but us knows

"WHy didn't you say so???"

well that's a callback to s1 ep1

THERE SHE IS!! MY BABY 😍 I LOVE HER SO MUCH

nooo

anyway Kyle, Rogelio, and Lonnie come in and Catra's like OH UHHH so...what's happening

Lonnie: "we just got back from conquering another Rebel town" Kyle: ":D You should've seen us!! It was all:"

and then he kicks Scorpia's old locker, with the drawings on it, and Catra gets mad

Ironically the degree to which Catra is UPSET is making me ship them harder lol

bb you need a break you are getting feral

Man Lonnie has her number lol. "What is wrong with you? We're winning! Even you should be happy."

god I love when she's this deranged

she slams poor Lonnie against a locker

john cena dot gif

but also OH DO THEY REMIND YOU OF WHO YOU USED TO BE? HMM? what you really wanted??? what actually gave you something like joy or contentment????? are you trying to just erase any part of you capable of feeling good?????????

Kyle is RIGHT

The cinematic parallels between Catra and Glimmer in this episode ("forget my friends I'M IN CHARGE HERE and YOU NEED TO FOLLOW ORDERS") are *chef's kiss*

Catra realizing this isn't what she actually wants: part ....a lot

STOP REMINDING ME I HAVE FEELINGS!!

The other three leave, she yanks the drawings off Scorpia's old locker, then THUMPs her head on it. And then Double Trouble shows up!

okay wait tho the way she pauses and then thumps her head on it is so funny I wish I could gif it, it's so cat-like and also Very Emo

I don't think this is supposed to be funny but it IS and I cannot stop rewinding and laughing. I blame the wine.

THONK

help i've rewatched it like five times now

okay

lol right??

Me, when I was info-dumping my own fic at myself: is it weird to imagine these two banging??? Me now: nope

Double Trouble: "Apologies for the delay, kitten. I got ...held up...in Bright Moon"

Anyway they give a little speech about how the Princesses keep fighting and She-Ra is away

NO SHIT, SHERLOCK

(now THERE's an old fandom reference ahahaha)

"We can't let them return to the Fright Zone!" TOO FUCKING LATE

YOU STOLE HER GARNET YOU WOULD THINK SO

Anyway they argue about the possibility of Glimmer taking Scorpia back to the Fright Zone

GOD I HATE IT WHEN SHE'S RIGHT UGGGHHHH

lolol I am. like. less than ten minutes into the FIRST OF TWO EPISODES and i've hit the image limit.

[ellieslittleburrow]

Drunk and disorderly, You, rookie SWAT member. How're the team's reactions to that?

warnings : Alcohol use, bad reacts to that.

A/n : hello my peeps, since i'm so fucking busy i can't even get myself to open my tumblr account, i will be squeezing in some time to write headcanons since they're much easier and less linked. Fuck linkers.

------

Hondo :

Hondo stands in front of you, a threatening stance that screams disappointment. "What were you thinking ?" His voice is low. You shrink. Your head is already pounding, you were even sure that it wasn't from a hunger, you were still a bit drunk. You didn't need a lecture from your boss, now.

"Come on, Hondo." you huffed, throwing your arms down in annoyance. "It was a mistake i wasn-"

"You weren't NOTHING."

You stagger back at the sudden rise in his tone, rolling your eyes in response.

"Don't roll your eyes at me." Hondo menaces again. "If you're not going to be taking this seriously, i don't want you on my team."

Your mouth moves to talk, but Hondo turns on his heels and leaves. "Hondo you can't do that, you know."

You internally wince at the confidence that resonated in your voice. What a risk taker. You knew that and Hondo did as well, because he turned around, a smirk creeping at the corner of his lips.

He didn't like being challenged. And both of you knew who the winner was already. "We'll see about that."

Chris :

Chris glares at you...She watches you from afar as she judges you, both in a hurtful and a disappointed manner.

"Are you going to keep doing that or are you gonna say it to my face ?" You spread your arms out, motioning for her to "come at you" "Just say it, I fucked up."

A scoff escapes her lips, quickly turning back to a glare. "You did more than that, stupid. You betrayed the whole team. Our whole reputation is on the line." Chris eyes you up and down, as if linguistically jabbing your heart wasn't enough.

great.

Deacon :

The sergeant is as nice as he's always been. Never has he acted different, never has he made you feel weird. His eyes, though, cannot lie.

Deacon smiles reassuringly, apprehensive of the massive headbanging you're going through. You're embarrassed and angry. He sees that.

"Here." He hands you a bottle of water. "Drink." He commands but it sounds more like a plea. You'd look him in the eyes and thank him but he's been avoiding yours. Deacon's eyes say it all. No matter how nice he might be to you. His eyes reflect his thoughts.

"Deacon-I'm-i-i'm sorry." You stutter the words out. He neither reacts nor responds. "I know i shouldn't hav-"

"Please..." The sergeant stops you and a tiny little gasp leaves your lips as your back straightens. "Please...You should've thought about that before doing it...I just hope god forgives you. And i hope you understand that actions have consequences."

You lower your gaze to the ground, knowing full well this was going to happen. Uhhh...Why did a little fun night have to turn into such a problem ?

Street :

The boy man's thick eyebrows furrow in confusion. Confusion with one's feelings. You needed a friend. He was a friend. He just...didn't know what to do.

"Street, i was there for you when you were in trouble." You protectively yelled, searching for the man's eyes while they avoided you. "Come on, ma-"

"It was nothing like this." He suddenly shouts and you startle in surprise. "It was nothing like this. Okay ? You fucked up, for no reason. We don't need this kind of publicity right now-we-"

"Street, fuck publicity. I need my friend." You cut him off. But he sighs.

"I'm sorry. I can't be that, right now. I need to be on Hondo's team. I have to play this right." Jim's voice sounds like it's about to break. "I told you not to go and not to joke around with that. I'm sorry." He mumbles before he starts walking away. But you swing your arm around to grip his wrist.

"Jimmy, pl-"

He yanks your hand away, his eyes glistening in regret. "No."

Luca :

Your chin shivers as you've just had your whole team eye you up and down before leaving you without a single word. The air hung heavy with their anger. And you just couldn't contain it anymore. You didn't mean to make such a mess of things. It was just supposed to be a fun ni-

You're interrupted by a set of boots entering the room. You recognize them.

"Luca." Hope laces your voice as your head quickly swings upwards. He came back for y-

Luca brushes past the bench you sat on, not granting you one little glance. "Luca, i'm sorry." You plead, standing up to follow him to his locker. But he ignores you, speeding up to get away from you.

"Luca, plea-"

"I'm so disappointed in you." the agent spins around, spitting the words right in your face.

Out of shock, you step back. And before you even have the time to react, Luca takes a step forward. "You betrayed the whole team. But you betrayed me."

"H-"

"Are you seriously going to ask me that?" He hisses and you take another step back, shrinking as his anger amplified. "I told you not to drink if you're going to act like an absolute freak. Now look at us, all over the news because one of our own decided to have more fun than she can handle."

Ouch. Your heart stings as tears pool at your eyes.

"I said to you yesterday not to drink too much. You promised me you wouldn't."

He's right...You fucked up. "I f-f-fucked up." You mumble in between sniffs. But that doesn't seem to help your case. Because Luca's face grew redder.

"Yeah, well." The officer pulls his shirt over the back of his hand, hiding them in the process. "You should've thought about that yesterday. It doesn't matter now." As low as one can speak, Luca mutters the last words before turning on his heels, leaving you once again, alone.

You shudder, bursting into uncontrollable sobs. You had it. The family. The protection that you so longed for. And you threw it away. You needed to gain their trust again. Fuck this headache and fuck fun. You needed your family again. And you're going to get it back, no matter what.

First thing on here! yaaay! i hope somebody likes this. Please tell me what you think 🥀🥀🥀❤❤❤

[koukouture]

I feel kinda bad bc my WoLMeric ship is actually kinda toxic lmao

Like, Elysia kinda looses her shit post Heavensward after loosing Haurchefant and Ysale. It’s her villain origin story, if you will.

Haurchefant was her first love and everyone knew it, but Aymeric still fell for her. He still pursues her after he dies and basically becomes the home wrecker lmao. Elysia, because she’s kinda like ARR Thancred, fucking sleeps with him and things get real awkward real quick. It fucks both of them up big time.

Aymeric def deserves better than this train wreck, but I’ve decided that it’s funny AND angsty so I’m keeping it. I mean, how can he not fall for her? Elysia is the Warrior of Light- she is nothing but selfless and brave. Not to mention pretty but that is a whole other can of worms lmao.

Jk I am dealing with it here. sO-

Elysia is from a noble family in Hingashi, obviously she left but we’ll come back to that later. Basically, before leaving she was kinda only known and valued for her beauty. Which does wonders to someone’s self esteem y’know? On the one hand, she is confident, and some might even say a little vain. On the other, she knows how people see her, how men see her. She figures Aymeric is just another guys who’s Down Bad TM for her and he is but it goes deeper than she thinks. But also Ishgard is y’know… Catholic, so Aymeric also feels guilty for thinking about her like that.

Elysia is well aware that she’s being puppeted by the Alliance and the Scions. (in a way) Obvs she does it willingly and believes in their cause, but she mostly does it out of duty. She is the only one strong enough to save everyone, she has to.

(Even if she really can’t save everyone… I really miss Haurchefant and Ysale okay)

And this is where I think she parallels pretty well with Aymeric, in how they both deal with their respective duties.

I see a lot of people bringing it up and yeah, Aymeric is lonely. He loves his nation, make no mistake, but he is so lonely. Estinien leaves Ishgard, apparently Lucia does too, and WoL can’t be around all the time. But still, he is a politician and will do anything for his nation. But he literally says in the dinner scene that he does want to travel and I- ueueueuehjahskhwiuiloveyousmiwannatakeyouonvacationwithme-

But yeah despite all that, despite wanting to resign post uhhh Nidhog final fight (I think) - he remains steadfast for his nation which is super fucking admirable. Like sir you’re 32 you should be doing other things lmao. You are way too noble (and hot) to be a politician.

Elysia on the other hand, well- I’mma be honest she’s kind of selfish. She runs away from her original duties in Hingashi, and she’s only playing hero now because nobody else can. In a way though, nobody can really hold her down. That’s why she became an adventurer, because she knew she was meant for much more than some arranged marriage.

So it’s kinda juicy because Aymeric is lonely but devoted, and Elysia is burned by her duty. Idk where the line is from but it’s smth like “There is no greater burden, but also no greater honour” yeah that’s Elysia.

Having said that Aymeric is devoted, he is HOPELESSLY Devoted to her

But noooww there’s noooooowhere to hide since you pushed my love asiiiiiide I’m ouuuutt of my head, Hopelessly Devoted to youuuuuuuuu- oh wait that kinda fits their dynamic. Huh. Oh, I’m gonna think abt this now-

Yeah anyways you thought Haurchefant was down bad? Well, he definitely was but so is Aymeric. Bro is ready to walk into hell and be seen as a sinner for some Au Raussy. Okay no but he is hopelessly in love with her. It is very easy to see. I mean bro literally invites her to his house for dinner??? Alone??? The rumours are rumouring.

Aymeric makes it very clear that he is in love with her and will remain so even if she doesn’t return his feelings. Honestly, it’s more of a weird situationship than anything. Elysia won’t flat out reject him and they do find some comfort in the other’s company, but at the same time, Elysia isn’t really reciprocating so much as she is just there. It’s weird she teases and kinda flirts with him (in private) but y’know she wont say she loves him or anything.

I do believe there is some capacity for this to turn out as a healthy relationship, but not right now lmao. Elysia def deserves a reality check and I don’t want to keep bullying Aymeric. I do think they’re cute together, Elysia being kind of a tease x Catholic white boy Aymeric.

Oh yeah also have this fun relationship chart which summarizes everything I just said except for the duty part

[spiders-hth-is-an-outlier]

Weird dream story:

In this dream my partner and I were I think house-sitting for someone, but in general not currently staying at our house. So I was coming home to check up on things there. And I was in the backyard puttering around when suddenly Eliot wanders by -- Eliot my fully non-fictional cat, not a human person name of Eliot. This is surprising and bad, because he shouldn't be outside at all, but I manage to scoop him up and bring him in the house. Has he been wandering out here for a day or two, since last time I was home? Did I let him out accidentally then?

A few minutes later, he's outside again, and I realize he has some means of escape. I go inside to look around -- inside my house looks totally different from waking life, but that doesn't seem strange to dream-me. I finally find a small window, about head-height in a corner of the living room, that only has a screen, which Eliot has managed to shove out of the frame, and now he can get out. We'll have to replace the window, but that'll take time and it needs to be blocked off somehow right away. The house is sort of oddly empty, but I do find some cardboard, and I text my friend Lacey (who is the handiest person I know in real life, so that was a logical choice) and ask if they can bring me a roll of duct tape.

Now things start getting kind of dream-weird. Lacey comes over and agrees with me about the problem, but somehow we don't fix it. It's starting to rain, and I'm constantly shooing Eliot away from the window; it's not clear if he can get back in by himself, so I basically can't leave until I know the window is fixed. Chalk comes home from work and now we're having people over for dinner, but I'm not focused on the conversation or enjoying anything because all I'm aware of is the rain and this high, broken window.

When the guests leave, Chalk and I are cleaning up and discussing the Window Situation, when we notice Margo (other cat) acting weird, carrying something like she's trying to hide it. We chase her down, and it's a fucking kitten, all wet and scraggly. We check it for injuries and it seems okay. Chalk says, well, I guess we have three cats now, and I say uhhh, he is extremely cute, but are you sure that's a good idea? She says, look, Margo has really taken Kyle in and we shouldn't separate them now, and I'm like, Kyle? We've known this dude for five minutes and you've already named him...Kyle? And she's like, yeah, from South Park -- South Park, a television show that I have not really watched in about 20 years, and that as far as I know Chalk has never watched one time, ever. Even in dreamworld, this strikes me as incredibly weird, and I'm unsettled by the storm and the strangeness of all this, but I feel like I can't say no to this poor kitten that my wife has suddenly adopted (excuse me, to Kyle).

We're doing all this kitten-examining on the kitchen table, and after some commotion in the living room, we go in and find Kyle's wet mom lying on the floor, presumably having barely gotten both of them in through the window. Chalk is immediately like, we should take them both to the vet and starts pulling out a kitty carrier so we can do that, and I'm not sure we're ready to be a four-cat household, but this does seem to be happening, so instead I say, wait, we shouldn't leave until the window is fixed, everyone's getting in and out of the house and that's not good. If we leave it like this, who knows what we'll come back to? I find this thought highly stressful, but Chalk seems to be concerned only about the Kyle and Mother of Kyle situation, so we leave the house with the window broken (somehow between us and Lacey, nobody ever figured out how to block it off, we just gave up on that) and head to the after-hours emergency vet. I think there was a brief bit when we were actually at the animal hospital, but that was pretty much the end of the dream.

I don't know if that's interesting to anyone else, but it was all so vivid and mostly linear, which is unusual -- if I remember dreams at all, it's usually kind of a jumble of images and emotions. Thank you for being my dream journal, happy Ides of March.

(This resident has chosen to remain anonymous for reasons of privacy and safety. As such, their face will not be shown.)

You say you were in the building the night this tragedy occurred. did you hear any of the commotion coming from upstairs ? did it sound like a disagreement to you, or an intruder ??

Uhhh...I guess, yeah, I was in the building. Since I live here and all. I heard something but I didn't really think much of it. I kinda try not to worry too much about what sounds are coming from other people's places. A lotta people have weird ideas of fun. (The silhouette cups a hand to their mouth, as if sharing a conspiratorial secret.) Honestly, the less I pay attention to everyone else here, the less they pay attention to me. (They drop their hands and shrug.) I guess it's just that kind of place. Not a real strong sense of community. Between you and me, I couldn't even name most of my neighbours if you lined them up in front of me.

did you notice any other disturbances in the building in the recent weeks ? someone being let in that you didn't recognize ?

(They scratch at their temple, head cocked to one side. There's a brief silence before they answer the question properly but it does not seem suspicious; maybe they're genuinely just not sure.) It's sorta like I just said, isn't it? There's a lotta people who live here that I don't really know. Some new resident coulda come by. A visitor. Maybe just someone who's lived two floor beneath me for years. So, whether or not I recognise someone is kinda...just whatever. (Another silence. They're thinking again.) Sometimes I see shit happening outside? I like to kinda, y'know, hang out my window a little when I smoke. Like, really just get the air in my face. It feels kinda freeing. (They sigh. Distracted. Stay on topic.) But, I mean, uh, yeah. I see all sorta stuff that way. I don't know about any disturbances. (One more silence. Longer than ever this time.) I've had people leaving me letters...? I don't know who they're from, who's writing them or how they got in here. I have ideas but...somone had to come in here to leave them, right? It's not a disturbance, I guess, but it's, y'know, disturbing.

have you been acquainted with josette leighton, or is there anything you can personally tell us about her, with her becoming a person of interest in this case ? her alibi doesn't seem to add up, don't you think ??

(No thinking this time, they shake their head immediately.) No clue. This is what I was saying, y'know, about not knowing my neighbours. There's nothing I can say about her, she's a stranger. She lives in my building but I have sneezes I've known longer. Do I believe she slept through the whole thing? Not sure, but anyone can sleep through anything if they knock back a few, if you get my drift. Sleeping pills, I mean. Although I guess a drunk person could sleep through it too. Maybe she has some shit going on. What do I know?

if you recall, the late matevos hakobyan was also slain a couple years prior. both were veterinarians. any connection there, do you think ?

(They hold their hands up, one crossed over the over to make an X motion, and shake their head.) No comment. I'd reeeeeeeeally rather not talk about that. I had kind of a bad time at that party. A lotta people did, I guess, but... (They trail off. It's not clear if that sentence was ever intended to end.)

Is that it? We done here? Okay, great. (They get up and brush their hands together, their previously obscured face now cut-off from the camera.) [BEEP], I can't remember the last time I did an interview. I kinda rambled, huh? Y'know, sometimes they tell you to do that, to make sure they get something interesting outta you...hey, wait, I'm not still on record, am I? Whoop--

The recording ends and the interview ends here.

[tomymallison]

I don’t regret anything. I dont think I ever will. You said something to me once like oh “I was that fun experience” lol no you weren’t. I have had fun before you weren’t the first to show anything really. But just who you are as a person and being true to yourself was nice to enjoy it made it easier for me too. I can never hate you and sometimes I wish the love never gotten so deep then maybe we wouldn’t be here. Maybe things would be more light and not in depth. (Idk if that make sense) I think about everything. Since day one when I compliment your smile lol. I can never forget the time that was shared of course not. You have made me happy. Even though there was some rough parts in the time I was still happy with you. But also I feel like even if I say all this it won’t even matter. You rather want everything or way and once that is not fulfilled it’s like a dead end. I wish you can have you cake and eat it to. And no that don’t mean to hoe around. I already know you’re not that guy and yes I know you want something like real . That love but it’s like damn you that guy uhhh though why Df not , especially when you talk about having free will and just living your life. I feel like we were friends and lovers. But the love part got to out of hand. I think that’s what scared me too, cause idk I love and I think you know that but your love was a lot while mine was there but it was from a distance …like kinda how I be with Asia i literally bully her but she know that my love. I guess I wasn’t able to really fully express my love cause you kinda thought I was being weird , you always would ask why ? …or why not? And it’s like mhmmm I never questioned yours. You kinda was able to express yourself in all your ways and I let it but maybe I let it for to long where you just thought I was okay with it. Not your fault and there is nothing wrong with how you show that but it’s like ________________________ this is you And this was me______

It’s like I wanted to be happy, I hated when you said oh you only did this for my sake. I hate the way you think, I hate how like not positive your are with me. Cause I was never out to get you, use you, we enjoy ourselves as much as we could. . We did! I genuinely naturally wanted to…anything really. It was simple and easy and then it became in a way expected and wanted more that I can give that threw everything off and you just was not okay with it. Idk why you think of it as grief cause I am not dead. I look at it and was like damn that was such good times with a smile on my face and yes I miss those times …. But I don’t dwell on it as such sadness that defeats the whole thing … it’s like okay lol it was just sad , I am just a sad part of your life. And you know you have such a way with words to ensure that person feel bad or get them to do what you want. Idk it’s not the same and we can’t fake it and act like it is. I don’t want to anymore ….how long will the sadness go? When will it ends and we just become two people agin with each other, I hate the oh ima not be fake with you then . That sound so stupid, if you having a crappy day then have a crappy day. Forget being real or fake. Can we be people ? Natural? Can we come to an understanding ? Like yes I will forever say I wish I can watch you f some girl cause just how you do it ( dreamt about that by the way) and then you be like oh you just want me out your life so you can just live ?! Like lmao that is so weird man how can you say that when I literally want to see you have sex with someone I say that looks good. Cause you do it good that I need to see it in person? I wish there was like some breathing air between us, it’s this weird tension that is there where I don’t even know what to even say anymore …or how to be ..or how to be with others,….talk or laugh with others…can we be cool? Then what you going to say I don’t want to be cool I want more ! And it’s like ????? What more that I can give when I did truly gave you my all in my view but of course for you .you only see it your way. Such a tunnel vision guy. You don’t see anything but straight need to start looking at everything as a whole. Allow some feelings to simmer. It’s time to ( now you going to read this and be like oh your throwing me to the side and want to be done with like I’m some shit) that’s your insecurities talking cause ain’t no one say that dumb weak ass shit my boy. More like we already know what we have and shared and it don’t got to be weird or feel like a mistake or anything. It was genuine! And you know it was….even if you say I never felt that way, had someone like, or did those things to be myself…..but we did …we did. And at some point you can’t keep using that as an anchor. Cause it’s killing me ! I don’t want to be that anchor anymore, I don’t want to be that for anyone (these are my feelings I am talking about now because if I don’t input this you just will misinterpret) I feel like I am someone anchor. I don’t want to be someone crutch, happiness, joy, help, venting part, daughter, gf, wife, sister, I want to BREATHE and have some time for myself, because all this crap do is lead to expectations! I DONT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT! Then it leads into feelings WHICH DRIVE ME INSANE AND MAKE ME FEEL LIKE SHIT! then it makes people just want this BECAUSE THEY ARE SO USE TO IT …I don’t want that, yes I want to be free and yes I want to walk alone sometimes cause that is the only time me walking to my car and driving home that I can think to myself without hearing all that noise. (And let me put this in here so you don’t think I am saying you are the problem) no one is….really. It just sucks I feel like I have no control of my life . All you guys do! And it is so draining now. I am afraid that will be my life and I don’t want that…I want to be free with no need to or have to do anything ya know …. Just do whatever whenever. Simple…..I don’t want to create any more friendships or meet people or converse if it’s not just with myself …who am I under being the help. Why can’t I just have peace

Now this is just me writing to write I guess idk if that make any sense but I will still feel misunderstood.

[llycaons]

im ngl I'm a little let down by the direction this finale is going in BUT. here's 40!

no regrets? she'll let him kill her? please be a ploy...

okay I think it IS a play but now she's talking about these soldiers again? girl this is about YOU!!!!

aw swee jiuyue is back. love her

SHE GOT HIM!!!!!!!!!!! I think the buildup could have been better bc the camera just cut to her already with the arrow loaded BUT

oh my god the longwu army is LESS important to me than exposing syr!!! please!!! I feel like the narrative doesn't think that's important for xff anymore and ig she never wanted to be the one PERSONALLY to kill them but they were never exposed!! is she really at peace? where does this sudden loyalty to her country come from?

okay sweet a confrontation

'I'd have no regrets if I die at your hands' now where have I heard that before?

this is one of those cases where xff really shouldn't kill him though. she never wanted to hurt or kill anyone, just make those who harmed her and jl face justice. killing him would be satisfying more of need of his than hers. and she's right - killing him WOULD dirty her hands

but also like. NOW she's like 'the country's legal system will handle you for treason' LIKE HE HADN'T BROKEN THE LAW BY TRYING TO KILL HER???

these last few episodes have felt so weird....her plot and motivations have been completely subsumed by this uhhh nationalistic prioritization

also - where the HELL have all our lovable side characters gone? all the jiangs? xl? ysj? who the fuck are all these people???

ohh he's going to jump isn't he

DON'T TURN AROUND XFF. KEEP YOUR PEACE.

YESSSSSS> she stopped but didn't even GLANCE at him. and he was still alive! he saw! even his death means nothing to her! AS IT SHOULD!!! she's moved on with her life and she's built something beautiful after his betrayal and she's not going to concern hersel with him any more!

I do dislike a lot of how this finale is structured, but this has been consistent throughout the entire show. xff's independence from syr. xff not letting syr get away with killing her, and not letting what he did to her hold her back from living well. not softening what he did, or allowing him to give excuses, but also being able to move forward in her life and make new friends and family and loved ones. she won't cry for him. she won't even look at him. she won't dirty her hands or force herself to look at his broken body even as she sobs and pleads and begs for her compassion and support and love. even as he kills himself. she knows what she deserves and she walks towards it and away from him and all that he carries with him

'Shen Yurong is useless!' WHY DID YOU GIVE YOUR ARMY TO A MENTALLY UNWELL SCHOLAR

im kind of mad xh got to yell out all his grievances and I guess nobody will ever know what wanning and syr did

CONCUBINE LI MVP!!!!!

it's not often a hostage commits SUICIDE. my god

THE LIS WERE EXCECUTED???

aw man. I do feel bad for the shen mom and sister. especially the sister! she was a teenage girl, what was she going to do!

wow, no mercy or forgiveness for hostages huh...like the jiang aunt was literally a hostage!

I miss tong-er :(

omg!!! HAIFENG!! is that her name? she has such a sweet face, that maid <3

omg her father and brother....that's incredible. like at a certain point I did think it was cheap that they had both survived, but now I just think it's remarkable. she brought them back to life! SHE did that!

and apologizing for being unfilial...sweetie....

and now...her identity...

HER DAD IS SO SWEET WHAT THE FUCK...I would die for this old man too I rly would

kind of a shame we were told xz would have a disability and then he didn't. that's been happening this entire show, tho. jy can just cure them all...

oh yeah I guess hx is considered a good man. I don't, but I think his shadiness and craftiness and particular regard is what makes him interesting

I kind of don't like it when they're cutesy and wholesome. can they go back to being liars they had better chemistry. these episodes all they do is smile at each other which gets boring

general xiao and lj shuddering with fear to hear xh laughing is pretty funny though

JIANG LI!!!!!!!

hm I guess it was less about revenge and more about reputation, huh. and that's what xff did...

WELP. WEDDING TIME. cql fics often talk abt a veil but women can use a fan to cover their face too

aw damn they're kissing onscreen. and she's touching his NECK? racyyy

fade to black...if they had more interesting dynamic at this point I bet the sex would have been more insane but it was probably like, very nice anyway

well she knows what she likes, probably. being a widow. has xh fucked? I kind of doubt it.

oh my god I hope he doesn't fucking die at war...

why did her jiang dad resign his post?

oh man...the confession scene. very tearful. very painful. I guess xff will be jl for the rest of her life, then. jl was wronged by her father, but he clearly loved her. I'm glad she asked about her

and at this point, xff has such a great reputation, and is so celebrated in the capital, that she probably has more social power than he does. and as was stated before, the truth coming out can only harm the jiang family's reputation

omg jjr and xl!!! and ruoyao mentioned!!!

aw and ysj. his presence was so mild I didn't notice 😭

jjr is so cute I love himmmm

jjr and xl are holding hands but I think it's in a buddy way. tho being best friends is a more stable foundation for marriage than plenty of people get

and so, the con artist ends her story with two families rather than zero. and she loves her second father, she does. and he knows it. and I think he loves her too

YE SHIJIE.....🥺🥺🥺

this also happened in mask of mirrors where a guy was in love with a con woman but she wasn't in love with him so he just became her number one supportive best buddy. it's really sweet!!! I love that!!!

her dad and brother are there right? like I know she's In Love but going on this whole journey after her shitty husband betrayed her of getting a life to live and friends and reputation and all falls a little flat if she shuts herself alone in a mansion and just waits for him for months. girl your LIFE!!!

sorry it's just a little fucking galling to see xff, a proactive, social, intelligent, motivated, and compassionate woman, make things happen for the entire series and then spend all this time reduced to a housewife sitting sadly at home waiting for her husband to come home from war. like. the ENTIRE show she has been doing shit whether she could fight or not. the entire show she's been fighting to life a good life and get her family back. is this really the themes best for the show?

they probably didn't want her to look heartless, but EYE would 100% rather see jyl being with her friends and family, eating good food, traveling, decorating, cooking, living her life while xh is away at war. like of course she's worried for him and misses him, but I just hate to see her entire character bogged down because a man is away. I thought we'd learned to live independently!!!

NOT LU JIIIIII

HOW COULD YOU KILL OFF THE FUNNY GUY

god I wish this show was over. what a downer. these guys all at least look really hot with their hair down and all the mud and blood and sweat and such

WEN JI TOO?!!!

FUCKED UPPPP

okay it's stupid that this fight is the finale but it IS well-choreographed. I'm bored and antsy and even i got shivers seeing some of these moves

god damn he looks SO good when he's about to die

THERE HE IS. THANK GOD. was NOT looking good for him WHEW!!

THAT'S THE END!!!!!!!

[polarnoid-a]

⭐

MULTIMUSE MEME: Send a " ⭐ " and I will list muses I would be interested in throwing at yours, or potential muse combinations if you are also a multi.

okay im gonna try and like keep things we have talked about off the table for the meanwhile, there are some muses i am interested in i do not know much about ?? but hehhe we can definitely talk also sticking to the non private ones but like you know where to find me if you have any other ideas from this...

nancy & jeremy.

ok but of them are nosey like that, also nancy is obsessed with the truth and getting to the bottom of things. jeremy could join in on the fun, except nancy isn't fun but i think it would be an interesting dynamic to flesh out. and idk she could be judgey and a meanie but also she needs friends desperately...she's so alone dkjfhgkdjhg FRIENDS !! SHE WRITES STUFF DOWN HE COULD PUT A BOARD SOLVE MYSTERIES he could even get a gun and shoot things !!

alice & jeremy.

so alice is an experiment in her st verse, again suggesting the premise of teens get their own el sorta situation. also she is weird girl coded. possibly interesting to explore how they would get along and get to the bottom of what happened to her and who did it to her, while she tries to like live out a life. as normal as possible. she is a little weirdooo befriend her maybe.

the undertaker & laszlo.

monster hunter meet vampire, that would be really fun i think. laszlo is soooo him and taker is just a grumpy stoic guy, fun dynamic could happen here. possibly. taker is also like immortal so we could have fun with that i think possibly.

the undertaker & van helsing.

oh ??? monster hunter friends?? buddies?? can taker have buddies?? i dont know but they can join forces and um kick ass i suppose i suggest maybe ...

the pack & dean.

hey dean you wouldn't want to hunt these silly guys, these kids, they do kill people and are chill about it but also they are lil guys, also have no clue how werewolves like work, would probably not really know about hunters until like they meet one. so fun! they can be annoying hehe and dean can just endure it.

patrick & axel.

oh guys who are guys and up to no good, could be a cool friendship especially if axel is all like that. but patrick is chiller i think, i hope. they can have their fun, hehehe.

constantine & rowena.

this one just pop into my head. magic users !!! uhhh maybe working together maybe working against each other.

arnie & jeremy.

oh stoner cool guy, not the greatest influence. also arnie has like bad bad luck, so maybe that would be real funny. maybe even have them both be camp conselours or maybe they get involved in the middle of the st happenings without any previous knowledge as to how they found themselves there in the first place.

fiona & rowena.

hey hey that's her mother in law, and fiona is sooo lonely. and freaked out. god this could go really well or like really really bad ? idk they are family now and they have to deal with the fact. also fiona has no clue what's going on. and rowena has had a kid before, would she help fiona deal with being pregnant and then having a kid? i feel like again this would be really good or like possibly the worst thing i think.

castiel & rowena.

ok funny to me, i do not know how their dynamic plays out but i want them to interact...sue me??

richie & max.

ok alright mike's queer cousin, the worst little guy ! i think they might not get along but the two of them got involved with the upside down thing late into things happening. lot's of bickering trying to out sass each other that is real funny to me. also probably could help or be worse about the things that happen to max on a personal level.

vada & carol.

um worsties? friends who are mean to each other? mean bitches hehehe they can cause problems on purpose

lazarus & baron.

hey two TWO cult guys, maybe they can be rivals or enemies, something supernatural happenings in the background of things perchance...also idk its interesting to think about at least.

rosa & rowena.

ok starting out witch meets ancient witch...could be a mentoring of sorts, or maybe just like witches look out for other witches. we could do a whole lore thing for witches. but you know rosa is a goody two shoes sooo hmmmm.

ophelia & rowena.

oh well again recent witch meets ancient witch, but ophelia is more evil coded and her magic comes from a super ancient eldritch entity, again something fun to explore given how ophelia has definitely not reached her full potential. we could throw the rest of the house at rowena but i personally feel the cool interaction is with ophelia...

muireann & dean.

um just an insane thing here...fish out of water, eats men for fun...also she is pretty, maybe she just needs to be helped a little over here...definitely giving her a more modern verse with my own ideas for what mermaids would be in spn...definitely different from sirens.

@shadowcovcn

[im-not-a-joke]

I’m giving you all more talia is a codename for noel stuff

because i’m sad and nischa makes me happy and y’all ate this shit up last time

cough heres the first part cough

okay 1) i’m so glad this fandom has collectively realized that catfish!noel is bad and 2) i perfectly timed that last post so go me

okay on to what you’re actually here for

- noel has to keep his phone on do not disturb during any class he has with another member of the choir

- one time, he forgets to turn do not disturb on before choir and his phone buzzes right as mischa sends him a text

- luckily the only one who noticed was ricky, who, to save their asses, turned on do not disturb

- mischa is awful at keeping secrets, the amount of time he goes “no- [ahem] talia-”

- the both of them feel bad for lying to their friends but uranium isn’t a great place to be out and gay

- ricky is a great cover man

- “hey, ricky, do mischa and noel seem weird today?” [in sign language] “that’s just how they are”

- noel’s mom also knows because mischa comes over after school pretty much every day

- they are so affectionate with each other and they hate that they have to put up barriers at school

- pretty much as soon as they walk into noel’s house until like 9 pm when mischa leaves, they are attached to each other

- mischa is touch starved fight me

- the two of them are constantly blowing up each other’s phones during the school day

- im talking paragraph after paragraph about random shit

- they also go back and forth telling each other how much they love each other

- noel locks his notifs so that you can’t see them from his lockscreen

- ocean and constance are known to steal noel’s phone for funsies and fill his camera roll and stalk his lockscreen notifs

- “noel why do you have so many locked texts :(” “why do you need to know”

- noel reads all his post-choir notifs from mischa on the way home, and will reply to them or make comments out loud to mischa

- penny clocks them as soon as she joins the choir

- she talks to ricky about it because he’s the most observant

- they have this whole convo in sign language

- “are they together?” “i’m not supposed to tell you” “so thats a yes?” “yeah don’t tell anyone though”

- ricky and penny like to roll their eyes at each other every time one of them catches mischa on his phone

- they’ll both go out of their way to ask mischa how “talia” is in front of noel because they think his little bi panic is funny

- “uhhh, [avoids eye contact with noel] she’s,,, doing well :)))”

- they’re so slay

I am a hater and therefore have no soul. Let's do this.

Okay, so for context, I heard about an online altar to Sally before, and assumed it was a small Geocities site or something, but I'm looking at it for the very first time and goddamn, is it really messing with me. People are like. Actually posting stuff to it as though Sally were real.

Folks rag on and on about the Holocaust poem - deservedly - but the fans in here warped songs and Scripture and fucking Kaddish in order to make the words somehow apply to Sally, and it's like welp no wonder nobody raised an eyebrow at Penders' horribly misappropriated Holocaust poem at the time. Monkey see, monkey do.

The most hilarious part is, literally the first thing you see on the site is the disclaimer stating that Sally didn't actually die. She's not dead! Guess all the melodramatics were for nothing xP Anyway, onto the breakdown: ---

This first post is an original fan poem written from Nicole's perspective. Honestly, it's not all that bad since it's a fan work and not a ripoff of copyrighted material or a bastardization of actual religious Scripture, and the sentiment of a grieving character writing a memorial poem is a nice concept in and of itself. Maybe if more of the messages were like this, the memorial wouldn't be quite as Yikes as it becomes later on down the line. Really giving me huge unrequited Sallicole vibes, though, especially with all that talk about Nicole wishing she had lips to kiss Sally's cold corpse mouth with. Liiiiiiittle bit creepy imo, but whatever. YMMV. "But I knew you better than some who called you their love/Though I was always at your side/I was rarely noticed" And, uhhh, yeah. It sounds like Sally really didn't treat Nicole all that great...

---

This is just a direct message from a fan grieving the character. And you know what, I'm not gonna rag on this one because it's actually pretty earnest and it'd be meanspirited to dissect it just for being an honest reflection of a fan's feelings.

It's succinct, it's not melodramatic or overwrought, it doesn't plagiarize anything. I can respect that. Moving on.

---

Even her enemies lost something? (cue the part where my diaphragm starts heaving from nascent laughter)

---

Apparently this is to be sung to the tune of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." ...Lol.

---

Another song ripoff. Celine Dion.

---

why does this remind me of the scene in Gilmore Girls where Lorelei starts singing "have I ever told you that you are my heeerooo" to Rory after finding out her love interests trashed a house while fighting over her, and why am I laughing about it

---

Mariah Carey song lyrics. Not even ripped off, just straight-up plagiarized lmao.

---

O...kay. Gettin a little weird here, fellas

---

---

Wasn't Brave New World like, some sort of sci-fi dystopian novel?

---

Apparently this comes from a Sailor Moon audio CD. No comment.

---

All of this is so overwrought that my eyes just kinda glazed over but I am vaguely wondering why Sally's hands would look "deathly-pale" if she has brown fur? kinda racist if you ask me /jk

---

Motherfuckers can't even cite the sources they're ripping off in order to make their squirrel waifu seem divinely blessed correctly. smh

---

Okay, so this is where I start to have to get serious and try to drill down to the bedrock of this stuff, because it gets really culturally appropriative really fast.

While I won't pretend to have anything more than the barest passing familiarity with The Tibetan Book of the Dead, from my extremely limited understanding of its general principles, it's not so much a religious text a la biblical scripture as it is a set of instructions read to a dead person, after death but before rebirth, on how to proceed through the various bardos and help them understand what they're experiencing. The experimental film Enter the Void explores the concept.

Tibetan Book of the Dead - World History Encyclopedia

As a matter of fact, it seems the earliest versions of what became The Tibetan Book of the Dead weren't written; the bardos were instead drawn as mandalas. Apparently the text itself wasn't written until the 8th century AD, though its teachings were transmitted orally, and not translated into English until the 20th century. Make of that information what you will.

It's weird because when I copy-pasted this exact quote into Google, the first result that popped up was the Sally cybershrine, followed by a Tumblr blog. So. Idk if they were copying from some old edition or what - probably - but that's not the point. My point is, I had a funny feeling they chose this quote due to a combination of Sounding Deep and for including the phrase "O nobly born," which obviously would refer to Sally being a princess. Unsurprisingly, while the poster may have assumed (as I did) that "O nobly born" means what it says on the tin, in this context, it's not actually addressing nobility as in royalty, but the "daughters and sons" of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who in this case would encompass everyone and everything that has ever lived:

Heart Wisdom - Ep. 82 – Respect for All - Jack Kornfield

Oh, Nobly Born, you who are the son or daughter of the Buddha, (insightcolorado.org)

So, score one point for missing the point, I guess? Even outside of that, uhhh. Nobility being used as a narrative device or a stand-in for an audience for a religious tract is... actually pretty common, and not just in Buddhist texts, but in Vedic texts like The Upanishads, and even in Welsh Christian texts like the eagle that proselytizes to a pagan Arthur in the 13th-century poem The Dialogue of Arthur and the Eagle. Remember, kids: don't show your entire ass online. Knowledge is power.

The only word in this prayer was changed from Yis'rael (Israel) to Mobius.

Necessary context:

Oseh Shalom | Michael Schachter

Oseh Shalom: A Prayer for Peace - Judaism 101 (JewFAQ)

I sincerely hope whoever changed the lyric is Jewish themselves, because if not, then that shit is just as Fucking Yikes as Penders appropriating the Holocaust poem. Yeah, no, this is starting to depress me. I came here looking for a quick laugh but now it's becoming a serious soul search into myself and my responsibilities as a person to respect the cultures of my fellow human beings over, like. Fictional blue hedgehogs. I'm thinking about how gross it'd be if someone misappropriated Skaruręʔkyéha·ʔ practices to express their grief over a fictional character that didn't even canonically die.

I feel so uncomfortable right now wtf is wrong with Sally diehards man

--- ...Anyway. That's why, for a much-needed palate-cleanser after that awful fucking taste in my mouth... Grateful Dead lyrics! Yay!

---

Not sure what a Velveteen Rabbit reference is doing here but okay. I like the implication that Sonic and/or Sally fans have loved all of Sally's hair off with the presence of this quote, though.

---

Which is more hilarious, the idea that Penders was ever "great," the idea that he killed Sally off for money, or the fact that Sally never actually died, you goofballs? ...Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, wasn't it Sega who ultimately had a hand in bringing Sally back? ...So why does everyone lambast them for not including her in a game? Why do Archie fans reach straight to "fuck Sega" when they already slapped Penders down and revived her for your ungrateful asses?

fuck me, dude, can't say thanks for anything you're given huh

---

Yeah so more use of literary quotes out-of-context to make our shrine sound Erudite and Deep.

I have a hunch this one is supposed to allude to Sally's love for Sonic or something, but the poem in its full context is about how bereavement can have a stranglehold on people.

--- Okay, so because Tumblr is saying I'm nearing my 30-image limit for this reblog, I may have to continue this tomorrow, because apparently, a funeral song?? For Princess Diana?? Was plagiarized for this shrine???? bruh.

But, before we wrap this up, have my absolute favorite, most poignant, 10/10 part of the shrine would horribly appropriate real-world religions for sake of a fictional chipmunk again:

Reblog if you, too, are weird and perverse and other fans' mommies tell them not to play with you

I remember the early days of the Sonic fandumb on the internet. i remember all the online shrines to sally as well as the nasty earth vs Mobius squabbles as well as the "all sonic games after Sonic 3 and knuckles sux" crowd

The online Sally shrine is so funny to me lol

I normally wouldn't advocate laughing at other peoples passionate emotional response to fictional media, but there's an exception to every rule lol
