Prompt 185

No one could get into contact with Constantine. 

Now usually that wasn’t that big of a deal, the man constantly disappeared for a few days at a time doing something or other, but he’d been completely silent and unseen for months. Usually he’ll at least answer a call to tell them to fuck off or something. 

And they really need his expertise and are getting incredibly worried for their grumpy team member. Yes he’s an asshole, but he’s their asshole, y’know? And he has a habit of getting into Situations (sure he also usually gets out of them, but what if he didn’t this time?!) 

So they’re desperate. Kind of really desperate. Desperate enough to use the summoning sigil they found on his fridge. They’d checked it, multiple times, and it should summon the hellblazer. 

“You’re not Constantine.” . 

The white-haired teen in the circle yawned, stretching and blinking at them blandly with familiar blue eyes before sighing. “Actually I am,” he stuffed his hands into his hoodie as he looked down at the summoning circle. “Well, technically just one of the many Laughing Magicians currently in the Realms.” 

He gave a grin, looking more amused than annoyed. “Pretty much every one of us is in the Realms right now for family reunion lol. (Did he just say lol out loud??) So like, you’re gonna have to specify which of us you’re tryin’ to summon. Honestly perfect timing for me thanks, the fruitloop keeps flirting with John and it’s horrific so.” 

… That was probably their John, wasn’t it…

The funniest thing about the fanon whump fics where Tim is getting locked alone in his house with no food by his parents or something is that a lot of the times they have Jason, a character who actually did experience neglect and starvation as a child be like “wow Timmy your childhood is so sad :(“ absvwjsbsa

Been really hoping to find some sort of college/dorm au where all the main arcane characters have to live in close proximity to each other. Mostly because it sounds like it’d be pure chaos and hilarity. The council members or main leaders of the undercity could be the faculty while the students are the “kids” of the show.

Jinx and Vi happen to be the adopted kids of one of the most well liked teachers/profs (vander) and have a few friends who aren’t adopted but might as well be (Claggor and Mylo) tho recently he adopted another kid after Jinx found her on the street (isha) and they are practically bonded at the hip. Especially since isha has been a HUGE help to Jinx’s mental health.

I think it’d be neat if Vander were in a car crash that almost kills them all. Powder was the one that unintentionally caused the crash by distracting Vander while he was driving. Vander goes into a coma, and Vi is understandably pissed and scared and it’s mostly aimed at powder. Vi stays by Vander’s bedside. Luckily, things weren’t too bad and he woke up within a month but powder and mostly Vi honestly, needed time apart. Powder went to live with Silco [they had their arguments but after seeing Vander almost die with his kids? Everything seemed a little childish after that] and Vi stayed with Vander. They spent a few years apart with their own lives with only occasional interaction until they wanted to reconcile and reconnect. It wasn’t easy and sometimes things are still weird but for the most part, things are good!

Jayce, Mel and Viktor all held off on college because of other issues they needed to take care of so they’re older than the rest of the cast. Mel was the death of her brother. She didn’t take it well and the family was going through issues as it was so Mel was sent out of state to college where she could have new experiences and meet new people. Viktor mostly had health issues that have been lessened but not eradicated (singed is his doctor. He works in experimental new ways of treating disease. This was mainly to cure his daughter). At the very least he can get a degree now. He got in on scholarship btw. Jayce was working for the Kirammans since high school but in order to move to a higher positions he needs a degree. He’s attending on their sponsorship.

Jinx skipped two grades so technically she’s ekko’s upperclassman even though she’s the same age. She will lord this over him so long as they’re both alive.

Idk I like the idea of all of them living relatively happily and generally annoying the shit out of each other. I mean, imagine jinx playing pranks on Jayce and not really knowing whether she likes Viktor or thinks his life advice is annoying. She enjoys tinkering with him and Ekko tho. Meanwhile ekko is possibly getting hunted down the second vi realizes that he’s dating her sister. Jinx isn’t sure whether to be amused and happy or concerned for ekko’s wellbeing. Similarly, when jinx found out Vi was dating Cait, she didn’t react well. They fought a lot when they first met. And Jinx’s insecurity over being replaced didn’t help. They worked it out eventually and have since bonded over shooting guns and lightly bullying Vi. Also Jayce and Viktor and Mel are all in a weird spot romantically. Up to you whether they all just date each other or fight for Jayce. Either way, their getting together is messy.

I will say that sometimes things just explode in the middle of the night and people have stopped questioning it ever since they set up a communication system that just assures them that it’s not anything dangerous. Usually it’s Jinx blowing things up but it’s often Ekko and Viktor. Also if you fall asleep in a common area you have to accept that you will get your face painted on. Caitlyn is So Done with people leaving their projects out on the common tables also.

Jayce and Vi regularly meet up to work out together and punch the shit out of each other. Meanwhile Caitlyn and Mel have tea together and talk shit abt people.

Viktor is the capybara of the friend group. Everyone is ok with him at the very least but as such he can and will roast any and everyone if prompted. Mel and Caitlyn are usually the ones with the collective brain cell. Ekko is not because when out in the same room as 3 other scientists just as unhinged as he is if not more so and 2 people more responsible than him, all sense of leadership dies.

so I'm rereading cn for the umpteenth time, and I just noticed this line:

“Huh. Blind,” a voice mused, surprised, quiet. It sounded like a teenage boy. He raised his voice slightly. “Hey- You must be this Master Child people have been talking about, right?”

People had been talking about him? “That would be Childe, but yes. And you are?”

so I just wanted to ask, are child and childe not pronounced the same way in cn? would it be "chil-dey"? I just found this rlly interesting feel free to ignore if the answer is obvious 😂

i mean they are pronounced the same, this is more my fault than anything? childe should've said something like 'childe with an e at the end' rather than just (to bosacius' ears) repeat the same thing. the reason i didn't write that is that the answer would've been 'with a what' because the liyue script doesn't have 'e's, it's a different thing hahaha

so you can just imagine he says something like 'that would be child-eh/uh'. like a little inflection at the end just to emphazise it's not just child as in. a kid. just to clarify, and then goes back to saying it normally

idk man. personally i'm against human suffering and torturous, miserable deaths. i'm against the idea of spending 4 days locked in a tube without food or water, having to shit and piss yourself, unable to move or stand up, all the fighting and sobbing, a father cradling his son. i think it's terrifying and miserable and i hope they get found alive and get the help they need and this company is brought to justice.

i know the people involved are the elite and have likely caused human suffering on their quest for power. but the thing is... that's one of the things that separates the working class from the bougie... the working class care about the suffering of others.

i think this death would be poetic, and ironic. but i don't think it would change anything. the elite won't understand, they won't apply this experience of suffering to the suffering they cause their workers. they won't understand the irony of ecotourism causing a torturous death and parallel that to climate change. the won't see this as another example of elites trampling over mass graves for clout. they aren't going to take a global perspective.

these people will die miserable and tortured and afraid, the company may face legal and financial backlash, and that's all that's going to happen. and if they survive, the odds of any of these people using their power and fame to help others, to end their own questionable business practices and help others with mental health issues is such a small chance.

i hate watching people make jokes and laugh. these are human beings. you can see the irony in it, you can write essays about how this is another example of something rich white people have been doing for centuries. i understand and i think that's helpful and worthwhile!

but the number of posts i've seen cheering for these people to die is a lot. the number of memes and jokes i've seen is a lot. it's hard to look at sometimes.

i’m pissing myself laughing i’m so sorry this has to be the worst post i ever put effort into

Theory time! What if the house in Winterbloom that Audley lives in is actually where Trousseau and Yorna used to live five years ago?

I always found it a bit odd how one merchant, who presumably travels a lot, lives in such a big house, especially one with two beds. It’s also the only place that really seems plausible for the two of them to have lived in, not to mention it sticks out quite a bit.

To add onto this, this house feels like something a person of minor noble status would live in - based on Trousseau’s Winterbloom clothing, it could certainly match up! It does have almost butler-type vibes in a way, very stylish.

Also some unrelated rambles, but I really wanna know more about Trousseau’s background, as well as see more about how he changed. Like a flashback where he stumbles into Lostseed with Castti and meets Claude, and later one showing his gradual descent into madness would’ve been really cool. Or perhaps a scene where Eir’s Apothecaries fail to save someone from an incurable sickness, and he proceeds to have a crisis over the worth in prolonging someone’s life and suffering, if they’re just going to die from their terminal illness anyway. It would’ve served as a good set-up for his rather sudden heel-turn… I wonder if there’s ever a chance we’ll get to learn more about his life in official material…?

I also find it kinda unfortunate that we never got to see Yorna’s sprite - most named characters (besides D’arqest) all have one, no? I’d love to know more about her as well!

Time for a NaNo Prep Reread! I love Victor and this vicious little family with my whole chest. This'll be my second time rereading VICIOUS, but only my first time rereading VENGEFUL.

omg the people in the comments section of esteban's interview need to 1) work on their comprehension skills 2) watch literally any other interview where esteban expresses his gratitude for whatever team he's working with and most importantly 3) TOUCH SOME GRASS

lmao honestly at this point i just try my best to laugh it off. not seeing esteban's greatness is a skill issue imo. in general, the mantra i'm trying to adopt for seeing hate against things i love is 'why should i go out of my way to give vision for those who refuse to see?'

Imma be real the hate Ocon gets is on an insane level to me like I've never seen anything like this in any other fandom let alone for a real fucking person. People just do not shut up about him. He could say 'hi my name is Esteban' and people would hate on him. People willfully misinterpret everything he says every single time he opens his mouth. Every fan of this sport understands that it's a rich person's sport and nepotism is everywhere and yet the moment the one driver who was not upper or middle class as a child speaks out about it they act like they don't know that about the sport. People in the comments straight up saying 'oh wow he didn't go skiing as a kid well me either' THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT YOU IDIOT HE IS MORE LIKE US THAN THE REST OF THE KIDS IN KARTING WHO HAD THE MONEY TO DO THAT!!

I strongly agree that there are world events that deserve much more news coverage and resources than the Titan because frankly it should’ve been immediately assumed they were dead when sonar couldn’t find them and communication was lost.

However, I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to compare the EU coast guard and the US and Canada's various first response teams that responded to the Titan. Because they’re separate entities.

Do I think people should care more about the refugee ship that capsized due to alleged incompetence of the coast guard? Yes. I do. And I hope more survivors can be found because that was a genuine tragedy.

Do I think that it should be getting the same kind of attention as the Titan? Not really. Because people are just memeing on the Titan, and the average tumblr user has around $0.20 to their name and maybe 400 followers so this isn’t a very good platform for getting meaningful help for those affected by that situation.

This isn’t even a “you can care about two things at once” situation, because again with the Titan you should be very amused by 4/5 of those deaths whereas there’s nothing funny about what happened to that fishing ship. These are very different niches in cultural awareness and your ire should be towards media companies over random people on social media.

i just want everyone to know loux is very good at monopoly and if you don't want him dead by the end of the game, then he doesn't consider it a win.
