just now realising that maybe i've engaged in some gaslighting of my parents but also it definitely wasn't an intentional act so like...idk. oop.
i don't tend to talk about my friends w/ my parents much but there is one key question i'll always answer truthfully 'who are you messaging?' and for years my way of answering was going 'friend from new york.' 'friend from wellington.' 'friend from michigan.' etc and sometimes my mum, in particular, would ask the followup question of who's that? so, depending on how well i knew this person, i might drop a name and/or a how we met (with minimal details generally lmao, one quick sentence) to satisfy her question, of course using pronouns during this. my parents generally remember my friends as 'the person from xyz' though.
i've had friends that have changed their name and/or pronouns in the past and when talking about them i just immediately update without commenting on it
because my parents generally remember my friends by location (or AT LEAST REFER TO THEM THAT WAY), not name or pronouns, i've never really been questioned so i assumed all was great
but i just remembered a time when my mum was like 'how's your friend in xyz going?' and i said oh i think he's good, we don't talk that much these days! and she said 'didn't you have another friend over there? i thought you used to talk about a girl you knew' and i, not connecting the dots, seriously said no? i don't know any girls in xyz? and she was like oh. i must be getting confused with someone else.
and for some reason it just NOW occurred to me that maybe my parents do actually remember the little details and i've just confused them multiple times by changing names/pronouns with zero comment. LIKE IF IT'S SOMEONE THEY'VE MET THEN YES I GO hey, just letting you know this person now uses he/him pronouns and the name zyx. BUT I JUST NEVER THOUGHT THEY REMEMBERED ENOUGH ABOUT MY INTERNET FRIENDS TO REQUIRE THAT COMMENT. my bad. i'm writing this post because it happened a second time recently and i was like oh. oh i might be the asshole. how many times have i done this. my bad. oh my god
#my parents are cool w/ trans people and such#but i don't think it's somewhere their brains jump to#like it needs to be spelled out#which is totally fine#but#I JUST DIDN'T REALISE I MAY HAVE BEEN CONFUSING THEM FOR SOME TIME NOW#i thought they didn't really remember any internet friends i might chat to beyond location#um. on the bright side. they probably don't remember your deadname. and if they do they'll never connect it with you#that deadname is another separate person who they may have imagined entirely because i'm denying existence#unintentionally#oh my god#what have i done

I was trying to eat noodles neatly and for some reason I got sad midway. So I drew them messy eating a biscuit and a strawberry to combat sad noodle blues.
#Ugh I could've made it messier though.#I tried looking at how the strawberry juice look as it's getting bitten. But looking at a closeup of a mouth eating is kinda uncomfortable#I would need to be paid to look at that again. I dropped it and just winged it. Lol#Hm. I should've at least looked up how goopy it should look. But eh. Drawings finished.#I heard wild strawberries are sour? But these ARE giant strawberries. So this might be a special special kind of strawberry.#I'm not like other strawberries. š¤š Lol#I can't remember what an actual strawberry taste. People made it look pretty good though.#Then again people also made dragon fruit look tasty and it turned out it just tastes like a very very desaturated pear. Lol#Hmmmm but also then again. They also make cherries look good and I LOVE cherries. š¤·āāļø#That ain't the giant Crumbl cookie if anyone's wondering. Connie would probably never spend money on a Crumbl. That's a home made biscuit.#Bruh I can't spell biscuit#I watched someone biting on what I think is a Crumbl and they spit it out. And the pieces sounded like concrete as it hit the table ššš#connverse#connie maheswaran#steven quartz universe#Lion SU#su#steven universe#skedoobles#Ah. Also scribbling this because I needed a break after burning out 3 hours of a commission's allotted time just figuring out what pose#to settle on. So like I only have five hours left to work on their piece. š¬#my shiz#Waitaminuteee in case I unintentionally relayed it wrong. I'm not going to actually just make that allotted commission time just 5 hours no#I recognize not being able to settle a pose for THAT long in a commission is skill issue on my part so I'm not going to carve out 3 hours#Plus at least now I have poses that I *could* make a YCH out of. The body measures are going to be limited however š¤

DINNER IS (finally) SERVED
3000ish words later and part 8 is here! hope you guys enjoy!
(p.s my headcanons explainations are in the tags if you're curious)
(p.p.s credit also goes to @rin-solo for the first headcanon )
the post/thread that started this whole au
dinner scene: part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7
there's a masterlist now!
*odysseus is making his way to the dining hall, while athena and poseidon are following behind*
poseidon: *looking around at the decorations/tapestry dotted around*
poseidon: *seeās a tapestry of what looks to be a very much younger odysseus in full king & armour attire*
poseidon: *stops walking, and turns to look at the actual odysseus in front of him, then back at the tapestry*
poseidon: *to odysseus with a sardonic tone* do your weavers like making you look like a boy, or was that a decision you made to make yourself look younger?
odysseus: *pauses his walking to see what poseidon is talking about*
athena: *also pauses and turns to poseidon*
odysseus: *sees the tapestry in question*
odysseus: *sighs* of course you point that one outĀ
athena: *who knew odysseus before he was king*
athena: *glaring at poseidon* uncle, you shouldnāt make assumptions, especially when you donāt know the facts
odysseus: *pats athena on the shoulder as he passes her*
odysseus: itās fine athena
odysseus: *next to poseidon and looking up at the tapestry* if you must know, that is actually the age i was.Ā
poseidon: *not believing him* yeah right, you couldnāt be older than fifteen in this
odysseus: *turns to him with a sharp look* youāre correct, i was fifteen
poseidon: *slightly wary of odysseusā mood* soā¦ you became king at fifteen? isnāt that a little bit young for a mortal to rule a kingdom?
odysseus: *turns back to the tapestry* i was already the king, i was actually crowned when i was thirteen
poseidon: *shocked and confused* why would a child be given a kingdom to run?
odysseus: *looks down with a sad smile, at the memory of his father telling him about him losing his mind, and how sorry he was to place such a huge responsibility on his young sonās shoulders*
odysseus: well, i had no choice, but i would do it again if i had toā¦Ā
odysseus: *turns to athena* besides, i had athena to help guide me
athena: *smiles with a nod at odysseus*
odysseus: *starts walking in the direction of the dining hall again* anywayā¦enough of that, can we please just make our way to the dining hall now
*they all continue making their way down the hall*
poseidon: *notices a stain on the floor tiles not far in front of them*
poseidon: *points* i think your servants missed a spot
athena & odysseus: *both look to where heās pointing*
athena: *chuckles to herself in knowing*
odysseus: *smirks*Ā
poseidon: *sees both their expressions, and is confused*Ā
odysseus: oh that..oh donāt worry itās clean
odysseus: *shrugs* itās just so hard to get bloodstains out of white titles
poseidon: *wide eyed* blood?
odysseus: yeah.. not long after i finished with you, i arrived back on my island to find my palace overrun with 108ā¦muttsā¦ all vying for my wifeās hand.Ā
odysseus: *waving his hand like it was a simple issue* so i made sure to deal with them all myselfā¦ unfortunately one of them left a stain.
odysseus: -oh look weāve made it
odysseus: hope we havenāt kept them too long
poseidon: *shocked at all the new odysseus lore heās unlocked*
athena: *laughing at poseidonās expression*
odysseus: *opening the door* come on letās head in
poseidon: *shakes away the shock*
odysseus: *to poseidon* i guess itās time to introduce you to my wife
*they all walk through the doorway into the dining hall*
*there penelope and telemachus both stand not too far from the dining table; which has quite the feast laid out, and from the steam coming off of it, it had not long be put there*
odysseus: *heads over to his son & wife*
odysseus: *looks at poseidon* poseidon, youāve met my son telemachus before.
telemachus: *can barely keep in his excitement*Ā
telemachus: hi- i mean good evening lord poseidon, iām so happ- grateful you accepted my father's invitation for dinner.Ā
telemachus: *puts his arm on his chest, and leans forward in aĀ bow of respect* i hope you enjoy the evening.
odysseus: *narrows his eyes at poseidon, silently threatening him to not be rude to his son*
telemachus: *looks back up at poseidon, smile on his face*
poseidon: *quickly nods his head in greeting to telemachus* good evening prince, your father tells me that this was all your ideaĀ
telemachus: *raises a hand to nervously scratch under his chin* umā¦ yes i guess it was
poseidon: well then, thank you for the idea to invite me.
telemachus: *hand leaves his chin and a big smile breaks out* well of course! you are my fatherās friend after all!
poseidon: *eye twitches before he quickly composes himself*Ā
poseidon: yesā¦ friend.
odysseus: *coughs* yes and now that youāve both reacquainted yourselves againā¦ telemachus why donāt you go speak with athena for a moment
telemachus: sure!
*telemachus makes his way to athena, and they start talking amongst themselves*
odysseus: *puts his arm around penelopeās waist* now, please let me introduce you to my wife; the queen of ithaca, penelope.Ā
penelope: *doesnāt bow like telemachus, but nods in greeting* welcome to our palace lord poseidon
poseidon: *nods back* thank you for having me queen penelope
penelope: *smiles but her eyes have a certain glint to them*Ā
penelope: my husband has told me all about your part in his journey home to us
poseidon: *totally not panicking a little* uh-
penelope: *glint leaves her eyes, but her smile remains*
penelope: -and also how you have helped out on his and my sonās fishing trips lately.
penelope: of course, i would also like thank you for taking the time to attend tonight
poseidon: sureā¦ no problem?
odysseus: great, everyone has met everyone!Ā
odysseus: *to everyone* now, shall we sit down and eat the lovely feast the cooks have made us, before it gets cold?
odysseus: *moves to pull out one of the chairs at the head of the table for penelope as he normally does, when he notices that, there is only one chair instead of two*
odysseus: *looks up at the table and sees a piece of parchment with āmotherā written on it*Ā
odysseus: huh?
telemachus: *makes his way over to his father* oh! thereās a different than usual seating plan for tonight! iāve put everyone's names where they should sit.
odysseus: *smiles at telemachus* oh ok, sure!
odysseus: well, i guess i should look for mine then, hey?
telemachus: yes, and please everyone else too!
*everyone makes their way to the table to see where theyāre sitting (even though three of them already know)*
odysseus: *sees the parchment with āfatherā on it*Ā
odysseus: *expecting to have either athena or telemachus next to him*
odysseus: *watches as athena stands in front of the seat opposite him*
odysseus: *thinks itās weird to put athena & poseidon together, but thinks telemachus has done is as they are uncle & niece*
odysseus: *then sees telemachus stood in front of the seat next to athena*
odysseus: wait-
poseidon: *sees his name and heads towards it, only to look up and see odysseus standing in front of the seat next to him*
poseidon: wait-
poseidon & odysseus: *both look at each other in horror that they're stuck next to each other all evening*
telemachus: *not noticing the looks of doom on their faces* isnāt this great? itās a family dinner, so what better than friends sitting together?Ā
telemachus: *turning to penelope* sorry youāre by yourself at the head of the table though mother
penelope: *smiles and waves her hand* i donāt mind
penelope: anyway, let's sit and eat!
*everyone but odysseus and poseidon sit down. both who have a death grip on the back of their seats*
penelope: *clears her throat* odysseus, lord poseidonā¦ would you both please sit down.
odysseus: *snaps out of his staring at poseidon*Ā
odysseus: uh sureā¦
odysseus: *sits down and look back to poseidon, nodding his head at poseidonās seat in the motion for him to also sit down*
poseidon: *still doesnāt sit*
odysseus: *a millisecond of a flash of red eyes*Ā
poseidon: *sits*
odysseus: *internally to himself* oh this is gonna be a long evening
odysseus: *to everyone* ok, everyone dig in!
odysseus: *to poseidon* can you get what you want for yourself, mighty sea god? or do you need a mortalās help?
poseidon: *grabbing a lamb chop off a platter and tearing into it savagely in defiance*
odysseus: *rolls his eyes at poseidon, but goes to place a filet of fish on his plate*
*everyone has been eating and talking*
poseidon: *looks at penelope (who is talking to telemachus & athena) and then looks at odysseus*
poseidon: *thinking and then looks back to penelope*
odysseus: *to poseidon* is there a reason you keep looking at my wife?
poseidon: *jumps at little at being caught looking*Ā
poseidon: *turns to odysseus* oh do not worry yourself, i have no interest in your wife
odysseus: *unimpressed* why do you keep looking at her then?
poseidon: im..curiousĀ
odysseus: *narrowing his eyes* about?
poseidon: normally you mortal men choose women younger than them for their wivesā¦ yet clearly your wife is; from my estimatesā¦ about a decade older than you
poseidon: *now with his hand under his chin, leaning on the table*Ā
poseidon: do you perhapsā¦prefer older women odysseus?
odysseus: *hands tighten in grip around his cutlery*
poseidon: *notices odysseus hasnāt responded yet*
poseidon: iām right arenāt -
odysseus: no.
odysseus: *his eyes may not be red, but are clearly full of anger*
poseidon: *eyes widen in worry* whoa whoa! no need to get angry, itās just a simple observationā¦. anyone if they pay attention can see the age difference
poseidon: *moves his hand to flick his hair back over his shoulder* itās not a bad thing
odysseus: *takes a breath in to calm down and then slowly releases it*
odysseus: we are- were the same ageā¦ physically at least
poseidon: *confused* i donāt follow
odysseus: *looks at poseidon* during the 10 years it took for me to get homeā¦ i found myself stuck on a goddessā island for 7 of themā¦
poseidon: okā¦
odysseus: *closes his eyes* caly- the goddess had full control over everything on the islandā¦ her magic influenced everythingā¦ including a mortal's ability to age.
poseidon: so you didnāt-
odysseus: -age? yeah
odysseus: *sighs and opens his eyes* when i realised i wasnātā¦ i- i-Ā
odysseus: lets just say i didnāt handle it well
poseidon: *blinks at this new information* oh
odysseus: yep āohā indeedā¦Ā
odysseus: *looks back at poseidon*
odysseus: didnāt you think it was odd that i looked exactly the same when we met again, almost 10 years after our first meeting?
poseidon: in my defenceā¦ i was angry and trying to kill you, i wasnāt really paying attention to how you looked
odysseus: *rolls his eyes* i guess that's true
telemachus: uh lord poseidon? may i ask you a question?
poseidon: *happy to not continue his conversation with odysseus*
poseidon: *to telemachus* ask away prince of ithaca
telemachus: is it true that you gave achilles his horses balius & xanthus?
poseidon: *amazed at telemachusā knowledge*Ā
poseidon: not directlyā¦ but yes i am the reason he came to acquire them. you see i gave them to his father peleus, as a wedding gift for his wife thetisā¦
*poseidon continues to tell the tale, and odysseus speaks with athena and penelope while more time passes*
*the meal is continuing smoothly as can be*
poseidon: *notices that odysseus has only been eating the fish. not touching a single bit of pork, beef or lamb that's also on the table*Ā
poseidon: *who has continuously eaten all meats available*
poseidon: *to odysseus* is there something i should know about the meat?
odysseus: huh?
poseidon: *points at the selection of meat in question* what's wrong with the meat? youāve only touched the fish.
poseidon: if i hadnāt seen the others eat it, iād worry youād asked your cooks to poison it or something.Ā
odysseus: *raised eyebrow* poison wonāt hurt you though?Ā
odysseus: *pointing a fork at him* also, why do you care about my eating habits?
poseidon: *frowning at the fork* i donāt, iām just-
odysseus: curious? poseidon, i thought you were the god of the sea, not curiosityā¦
poseidon: *huffs* forget it-
odysseus: i canāt
poseidon: *now his eyebrow is raised* youā¦canāt?
odysseus: *now using the fork to push the food on his plate around* i canāt stomach eating lamb, pork or beef anymore
poseidon: *forever confused by odysseus* uh why?
odysseus: *gives poseidon a ādo i really have to explain everything?ā look*
poseidon: *just stares*
odysseus: *once again sighing because of poseidon* well i thought youād understand lambā¦ after the whole sheep incident withā¦ your son.
odysseus: then after i escaped you with the wind bag-
poseidon: *rolls his eyes at the memory*
odysseus: we wound up on the sorceress circeās islandā¦ where she turned my men to pigs.Ā
odysseus: i managed to convince her to turn them back, but it now feels weird to eat pork
odysseus: as for beef, short story is my men ignored my warnings and killed the sacred cattle of the sun godā¦ so yeah beef is a no go for me also.Ā
poseidon: *wondering how one mortal managed to interact with so many gods on a journey to get home*
poseidon: *laughs at odysseus* and youāre letting that affect your eating habits? i expected you to be stronger than that odysseus
odysseus: *narrows his eyes at poseidon* oh just like how you let my handling of your trident, affect you into doing as i say?
poseidon: *now glaring back*Ā
poseidon: *turns away from odysseus* whatever, more meat for me
*dinner continues, with telemachus asking poseidon more questions. poseidon loving the interest in him and telelmachusā knowledge, answers the all the questions with surprising enthusiasm*
*eventually what was once a giant feast of food has nearly been cleared from the table, thanks to having two gods eating most of it*
telemachus: have you enjoyed yourself so far lord poseidon?Ā
telemachus: *smiling* itās been really fascinating and fun to learn so much more about you
poseidon: *almost letting a small smile appear on his face in return*
poseidon: *instead just nods* yes, it certainly has been an interesting & knowledgeable evening
telemachus: what about the seating, was it a good idea to put you with my father?
poseidon: *wants to answer no, but feels a kick from under the table. clearly from odysseus*
poseidon: yes, you came up with an ok-
odysseus: *gives another kick*Ā
poseidon: -great idea
telemachus: *laughs in happiness*Ā
telemachus: oh but i canāt take all the credit
odysseus: *raises an eyebrow in curiosity*Ā
athena: *who is sipping wine next to him*
athena: *slightly chokes* wai-
odysseus: *suspicious* son, you must make sure to tell us who else to thank for this
telemachus: *not understanding the bombshell heās about to drop* oh athena actually came up with the idea!
athena: *suddenly nervous with the two very intense stares directed at her*
athena: w-well it was just a suggestion reallyā¦
telemachus: no āthena! remember you said as itās a family dinner, friends should sit with friends!
odysseus: *to athena with the fakest smile* oh athena, how considerate!
penelope: *who has been quiet this whole exchange*
telemachus: *as if he hasnāt already unknowingly thrown one person to the wolves* but i of course had to run it by mother first, as she was helping me with all the planning!
penelope: *eyes have totally not widened*
telemachus: she said it was a great idea!
odysseus: *now to penelope* oh my dear wife, a great idea eh?
poseidon: *just chugs back his cup of wine at the revelations*
*after a awkward moment (at least for 4 of them) they continue on finishing the meal*
*eventually the food is finished and the dinner has come to an end, everyone has moved away from the dinner table and are now sitting on cushion chairs or standing around them talking amongst themselves*
poseidon: *looking out the window seeing just how dark the night sky now is*Ā
poseidon: well this has been a lovely evening, but it is getting late and i have been away from the sea for as long as i can.
poseidon: *turning to penelope and nodding his head in actual respect* queen penelope, thank you for your hosting
poseidon: *without nodding at them* athena, odysseusā¦ good night.
*before poseidon can turn to bid telemachus good night, the prince runs out the room*
telemachus: *yelling before he leaves the room* please lord poseidon, wait a moment! i forgot something!
poseidon: *turns to look at odysseus in confusion*Ā
odysseus: *just shrugs also confused*Ā
poseidon: *turns back to the door, telemachus long gone* uh sure.
*not long later telemachus runs back into the room dishevelled but holding something in his hand*
telemachus: *walks up to poseidon*Ā
telemachus: *bows and holds out something covered in a silk cloth to him*
poseidon: uh-
telemachus: itās a gift! iām not expecting anything in return, and iām sure you have better thingsā¦ but i saw it and thought youād like it
poseidon: *blinks, but takes the gift from telemachusā hands*
poseidon: *carefully unties the silk cloth*
poseidon: *breathes in sharply*
telemachus: *not sure if that's a good or bad reaction* uh if you donāt like it that's fin-
poseidon: *holds his hand to stop telemachus*Ā
poseidon: prince of ithac-
telemachus: telemachus- sorry for interrupting. please my lord, call me telemachus
poseidon: ā¦telemachus. thank you, this is a very thoughtful gift.Ā
poseidon: i will cherish it.
penelope & odysseus: *curious over what's got the god of the seas ācherishingā something*
athena: *small smile as she knows*
*penelope & odysseus move closer to poseidon who is still staring down at his gift. once close enough they can see in his hand is a a handcrafted glass/crystal hippocampus*
*poseidon ended up wrapping it back in the silk cloth, and placing it in his chiton. He then thanked telemachus again and bid him good night & farewell. odysseus offered to walk back to the cove with him, but poseidon waved him off and told him to stay with his family*
#poseidon: *returned home back to his palace*#poseidon: *once again looking at the gift this time with a small smile on his face*#amphitrite: *looking at poseidon* whatcha got there?#poseidon: *stuffs telemachusā gift into his chiton* uhā¦ uhā¦MOLY?!#amphitrite: *raised eyebrow* the king of ithacaā¦ odysseus gave youā¦moly?#poseidon: this isn't from odysse- *cough* i mean; noā¦ he didn't#poseidon: it's from his son.#amphitrite: *now both eyebrows raised in disbelief* the prince gave you moly?#poseidon: *panicking as he's the god of the seas not of lies*#poseidon: well they're descended from hermesā¦ he practically hands out this stuff as you knowā¦#amphitrite: uh huh... what ever you say husband#okay headcanon 1 - calypso said 'under my spell we're stuck in paradise' & to me this made me think well if she controls everything#then surely a goddess' magic can have other consequences like stopping a mortal aging. or extremely slowly aging.#once poor odysseus realises he wasn't getting older but his son and wife would be...he broke fearing he'd outlive them#calypso obvs doesn't also want the love of her life getting old/dying on her too#also credit to @rin-solo for this head canon too!#headcanon 2 - it actually happened while i was eating a burger. i thought man i'd struggle to eat any meat after all what ody went through#and so thats how that came to be! i believe he will eat goat/rabbit/chicken etc. but fish is easier with y'know ithaca being a island#so telemachus' gift has been revealed! i thought a hippocampus would be better that just a sea creature or horse. why not both?#also there will be a part 9...ody's revenge/punishment for athena and penelope's seating plan#but i need a small break after this monstrosity#odysseus epic#poseidon epic#telemachus epic#penelope epic the musical#epic the musical#epic: the musical#friends in higher places au?#nonsense thoughts

not enough discussion about the gavins' complicated relationship with feminine-coded/beauty products, i don't think.
#for klavier because it's not as direct it's about how we never see him actually wearing lipstick? even though apollo literally attends#a concert of his which is where you'd most expect him to wear makeup. but apparently he just doesnt. or at least not in public#klavier gavin#kristoph gavin#i feel like there are several ways you can read into it. the misogyny/toxic masculinity one is really obvious clearly with kristoph's#singling out of men specifically and klavier's (probably accidental?) condescending manner of calling women 'fraulein' plus his general#mildly patronising attitude towards many of the women in the game (also probably unintentional)#(i think he's trying to be charming and it's coming off wrong to some of them. like ema. and me.)#but i feel like there's also maybe an element of... inherent perfecfionism to it? like both of these products are conventionally beautifyin#products and kristoph while he is open to showing people he uses nail polish specifically chooses one that's clear and missable unless you#see him apply it. he also feels the need to justify his use of it and specifically spell it out as something he chooses to do rather than#needs to do even though duh. that should be obvious.#idk there's just something about his seeming need to take control of that narrative that i find interesting. his need to spin it into a#'there's nothing wrong with my nails but I had the foresight to see that even the smallest parts of my appearance should be kept immaculate#and it's a choice i'm making to refine an already adequate part of my personage /not/ to cover some unsightly defect.' the need to emphasis#that specifically is so. hm. and with klavier i could see it being a case of him liking makeup liking the pops of colour yet being unwillin#to admit to it because he's afraid that other people might see it as him being dissatisfied with his own appearance regardless of if he is#or isn't. or even just perceiving colourful makeup as being unseemly because it's so overt and unnatural.#like i can see this as them both viewing 'real' beauty to be that which is inherent to a person and seemingly effortless#thus somehow negating the beauty which one achieves through cosmetics or other external means.#and if you want to use external means to achieve beauty or neatness or whatever then your only valid options are those which blend into you#natural state. like clear nail polish. or really awful spray tan.#i feel like klavier's less confined by these ideas (if they hold merit at all) considering he actually owns coloured lipstick and he wears#jewellery (admittedly quite 'masculine' jewellery no gems or pearls or anything like that but jewellery nonetheless) but i think it just#makes it more interesting that he doesnt seem quite able to cross the line anyway. like it's that ingrained into his system.#anyway that's all i've got. you guys should tell me what you think too#annotations

If magic was real Iād obviously focus myself solely on mastering curses
Whether itās cursed equipement, tattoos, or one time use spells, I know Iād love nothing more than to isolate myself and perfect the magic of changing someone against their will
Placing boobytrap spells around the local forest, that instantly turn you into a girl when you step on one, erasing any memories that you were ever anything else
Capturing invading āmenā and drawing tattoos on them that transform them into succubi, forcing them to choose to either live in servitude, draining the life of others in an endless hunt to date their endless desires, or starve
Even giving the warrior asking for aid in a battle a balde that will give him embrace strength, but with each use will whittle away at their mind, annihilating all parts except for their more feminine desires, until all she can think about is her love for dresses and how sheād give the world to be a cute girl in a cute dress sewing cute skirts
Then rumour comes out about my activities, and inevitably when a āboyā gets obsessed with my myth, and decides to wander into my domain ājust to disprove these idiotic fablesā, Iāll show her happiness beyond what she considered possible
#All Iāll need is a simple spell that gives her the body and dress of a maid#sheāll handle the rest#and serve as the happiest girl in the world#.#fantasy#forcefem#i-like-talking#..#I liked writing this one out!#at any time you can just tell us what youād like to see more of!!!#feedback is the beating heart of any content we make!#including these silly little posts!#Have a nice evening cutie!

Now that Critical Role's VOD of episode 120 is out and everyone in the fandom's had a moment to breathe, simmer, and adjust to this all. I wanna do a big talk about my favourite idiot punk rock, Ashton Greymoore.
Because over these last few episodes, I've been so proud of them.
Many people have had vocal opinions on Ashton, not all of them positive either; I've seen many berate them and say they're selfish, not a team player, or that they 'don't add anything to the group'. But over the past few episodes, I feel like Ashton has been an unsung hero in the battles with Ludinus and Predathos, with their contributions, oftentimes selfless and cooperative, ending up providing the floor for others to deliver strong and impactful actions.
While Dorian and Imogen will rightfully get the lion's share of praise for their clutch moments - Dorian's Force Cage on Ludinus saving Liliana and defeating Predathos' first stage alongside Imogen's Power Word: Stun setting up Ludinus' death and defeating Predathos' second stage - Ashton's actions were often the prelude to moments that could not have succeeded without them, including these clutch moments. Their attack on Ludinus in 117 prompted the Silvery Barbs that burned up his reaction - which allowed Dorian to successfully use Force Cage without being Counterspelled, their high-damage attack on his neck hole in 118 broke Ludinus' concentration on Ravenous Void - which somehow later got credited to Chetney - which gave Imogen the freedom and mobility to get in range for Power Word: Stun, they got the Insight check whisper on Predathogen in 119 to know that Imogen was physically inside of the body and needed to be pried out - which Imogen achieved herself thanks in part to Fearne reaching her, and recently in 120 they pulled Imogen out of Predathos' maw, abandoning the Hammer synonymous with their character (to the point that Keyleth titled them the 'Paradox Hammer') to prioritize saving their friend, which - following Dorian's healing - gave her the chance to use the Ring of Remembrance for the finishing Meteor Swarm. Not to mention all the other damage they dealt and tanked throughout the four fights, the passive d4 bonuses and advantage they gave the party (almost acting partly as a secondary paladin or a tertiary bard) to buff their damage and saving throws, and accepting the risk of disintegration when Laudna used their Hammer's spell splitter - which forced Predathos to use its final Legendary Resistance.
The Disintegrate moment itself was tense because we all know that Ashton is high among the Hells who would sacrifice themselves to save the group - a mentality most of the Hells likely shared in this fight - but fortunately they don't have to, they'll never have to, and they gained something just as if not more valuable than a heroic sacrifice: they get to live. The person who before meeting these chucklefucks believed they'd likely die face-down in a ditch in some backwater alley and thrown into an unmarked grave AT BEST gets to live, and the people that mean most to them get to live thanks to their efforts, their successes. And that's the most important part; for all the times they couldn't help or save someone because they were unconscious or out of reach, for all the times they let their imposter syndrome tell them they're just a fuckup undeserving of trust, praise, or love, and for every fear they had that one day they'd mess up and this new family of theirs will abandon them like the Nobodies did, this time they were there standing beside their people to the very end - and they helped get them out alive. No mistakes, no carelessness, and no-one left behind.
For that, I am proud of Ashton Greymoore; not Bells Hells' Weapon but their Helm, not a Blunt Instrument but a Protector, and not a Hero who needs to do 'what needs to be done' but a Friend who is saving their people no matter the odds. Under all the hardened and rugged exterior that has always been who Ashton is - the perfectly flawed character they are.
#*slams fist* SAVIOUR OF THE BROKEN THE BEATEN AND THE DAMNED!#And it's not to say that Ashton's the only one that deserves credit because they all do but I'm giving Ashton their flowers now#and yeah they're still an idiot punk rock but they keep getting to remake themselves and I'm happy for them#they still represent the philosophy associated with kintsugi - wabi-sabi: the beauty of the imperfect impermanent and incomplete#*slams fist again* you can't hide the cracks but you can embrace the repairs#they were so beaten up from these fights but nothing rings truer for Ashton than 'the body breaks but the soul refuses to die'#also by helm I mean like a helmsman not a helmet just fyi - they help steer BH; line up the enemies so the others can knock them down#I am proud of all the Hells too...mostly - Braius still needs to regain their trust - but everyone did their part to keep everyone alive#We all know that Tal has - or at least puts on - a level of detachment with their PCs in case they die but I'm so relieved they didn't#Ashley was relieved too - just pointing it out there for Fearne 'I have Silvery Barbs from Rogue to save my rock' Calloway#you two have weird mushrooms to enjoy - also like the rest of your lives together#Still wish we got a Titan combo but I'll take them all surviving over seeing it and them dying#Seeing them set up Imogen for a clutch spell twice reminds me how underrated their bond is; which pairs with their sibling bond with Laudna#There's still the matter of Vassalheim and the Gods ofc but this is not the first firing squad BH has stood before this campaign#but I do feel like the fighting needs to be over for the campaign - as in no more combat - lest it devalues Predathos as a final boss#Ludie2/Twodinus is still out there though Ā¬_Ā¬ maybe he'll be a one shot returner like Delilah Trent and Uk'otoa (Uk'otoaaa)#I do hope the collapse of the core doesn't fully destroy Ruidus either - Gaz Tomo the Myceit and the Bormodo kinda live there#we also need to know what happened to Fy'ra Morrighan Deanna FRIDA Prism and Deni$e - where are they? Did they fight?#*slams fist a third time for no reason* my hand hurts now#critical role#cr spoilers#c3e120#ashton greymoore#bells hells#ludinus da'leth#imogen temult#laudna#predathos#dorian storm

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ā¼ļøā¼ļø
b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3
#i dont know what i expected but i was waiting for a friend and too excited to wait until later#malevolent podcast#john doe#john doe malevolent#john malevolent#malevolent fanart#grimm art#ep 43#ep 43 left me with a lot of thoughts ... i didnt quite like how much of a recap it felt like at times but that might#be because ive been relistening and like yeah everyone knows that john š but that's not the case for everyone and with monthly uploads#things get forgotten easily#i find the discussion of āhumanityā so interesting because John has shown that without someone that he has forcibly grown to value as an#equal... something he cannot do as the king of yellow as he is superior to all of his realm and presumably stays out of other elder god's#anyway. without that equality and enviroment to grow he fails to reach his goal of compassion and falls onto old ways.#John. The King in Yellow. shown by both times each has found themselves in human form do not just crave power and influence!!!#THEY CRAVE COMMUNITY!!! an endrich being not born or raised with nothing but power and ego#CRAVES COMMUNITY.#His goal of āhumanityā is not a selfless goal like John projects - it is ultimately somewhat selfish as he does not want to be alone!!#which makes this desire so much more human#i don't know maybe this is just me spelling out whats already there but the way john and the witch argued about humanity frustrated me#it felt like they were missing the point or that perhaps the āgood/evilā āblack/whiteā retoric was already realised by me and john needed#realise it himself . which is fair !!!#i dont know!!!!#the witch was talking about how bad everyone was and how humanity is cruel and john was talking about Lily (#who also frustrates me how shes used in the plot somewhat she was literally just a nurse doing her job bro#) but to John - yes internally he is struggling with his moral greyness and im so proud of him for growing being himself SO PROUD#JUST.!!! he wants community. he needs community. he loves his friend. 'humanity' at its core does not matter as long as you try to be bette#and i think thats awesome and i really enjoyed the episode#guhh im rambling enjoy my tag rambling i dont know i want john to have more friends :(#yorrick can be another friend godd i love you yorrick so silly

If you need me I will be recovering from the one-hit k-o that is the reconfirmation that Katsuki Bakugo literally only ever has Izuku Midoriya on the brain, and that Shigaraki is so aware of this that he thinks Katsuki is the Princess Zelda to Izukuās Link
#Shigaraki already knows how gay they are#and heās only interacted with them together like twice#bkdk#bakudeku#RE-CONFIRMATION PEOPLE#THEY JUST KEEP SPELLING IT OUT FOR US#Kats has Izuku brainrot SO BAD#HEāS SO DOWN BAD#the bkdk flashbacks though#someone hold my hand I need the support#I canāt make it through next week#i canāt#mha spoilers

My name is Dick Grayson. I'm who you need me to be.
#nightwing (2011) 30#trying my best to politely ignore the grayson addition#someone else saying it doesnt hit the same as him thinking it without full awareness of what it means#or him showing it in his actions#and that other quote is just like. ok author i know that. i can read. you don't need to spell it out that hard.#i dont need u to character mouthpiece ur way into being Deep Characterization

i Prfer BoyZZ
is what it says when you read it counterclockwise and start with the i
#stranger things#will byers#mike wheeler#byler#shitposting#but they're still almost spelling it out for us#i've seen so many analysis videos of this scene#but no one ever mentioned that#it's like jonathan said#you just need to capture the right moment#and it tells you all you need to know

The Boys subredditās and fandom-at-largeās widespread expectation that a child should be enthusiastic about killing his father
ā I donāt care what his father has done ā
ā especially when said father clearly cares about the child and the child doesnāt have better parental figures alive ā
ā I donāt care if the love is ānarcissisticāā
(ā give me a break all parental love has an element of self-love, especially when it comes to, but not limited to, biological childrenā)
ā especially when he had about 30 seconds to process a huge infodump about why his dad sucks before heād be gassed if he didnāt pledge allegianceā
makes me feel like Iām taking crazy pills.
#are we watching the same show#sure the writing is confused#but not confused about THAT part- not really#Becca didnāt raise him to think like that no matter what she thought of HL#as she shouldnāt have#mallory: letās prevent HL by making you into a patricidal child soldier at 12#maybe that speech didnāt deserve the death penalty but it was unsettling#mallory and butcher are not good people <- glad this needs to be spelled out#i love writing parenthetically donāt judge me#ryan butcher#homelander#the boys season 4#the boys#the boys tv

the way that nick spell in 14x17 makes it canonically SO easy to open a portal to the empty. it drives me insane. dean literally HAD cas's blood. on his jacket. it was all right there. it was set up perfectly. why show us nick opening a portal to the empty and specifically showing that the main ingredient was BLOOD then. not using that. dean was meant to rescue cas!!!!! full circle moment. i'm the one who gripped you tight a raised you from perdition. what's the matter, cas? you don't think you deserve to be saved? i love you, too. of course i love you. SMOOCH. anyways.
#anyways working on fic plotting things and the friggin nick spell making it so easy to open a portal to the empty is infuriating me#i need it to be more complicated. for plot reasons. so now i need to conjure up some Lore as to why it won't work in this scenario#like if all you needed is some blood from the person in the empty or a relative then. so many angels and demons could've been pulled out#i think the fact that nick was a former vessel might be a good requirement#also just how the hell did NICK of all people find this spell and execute it???
