Buddie fandom: GIVE US THE KARAOKE!!!

Tim, probably: Here, enjoy Enzo and Owen weirdly gazing at each other for an uncomfortably long karaoke scene featuring the world's worst karaoke song.

[nighttimescribbles]

i'm here !! yesss sorry for replying like four days later honestly it's so pretty but we ran out of things to do in the seoul so i've been wasting my energy shopping around :') visiting nami island and one of the famous palaces were the highlights of this trip so far and i dont know what to do to top those two experiences 😞😞 but yess ! omg my tour guide did recommend that but my family wanted to catch the zip line over to nami island so we skipped lunch and spent like two hours walking over the snow.

but no i agree !! sk is on a whole other level with their puppy fashion omg even just trimming the fur around their feet to make it look like irregular shoes makes my day omg i love it so much 😭😭😭 as for the bakeries omg i haven't been to as much i'm afraid i'm losing my taste in sweet foods because the darkest of dark chocolates are my favourites and even then they're still too sweet for me i'll definitely give it a go if something matcha flavoured catches my eye and if it does maybe i'll share a few pictures with you 😊

also i gave that fic a read this afternoon when i was on the train to busan (thankfully no zombies but unthankfully no gong yoo either) i cried then omg but you were right i totally wish i was marrying that zeke it was a lovely read so thank you so much :') i'll have to scroll through your bookmarked fics on ao3 because i'm going through a reading withdrawal

still lots of best wishes for you too !! time has gone too fast but too slow at the same time :') i'll be leaving back to my own country and all its responsibilities in about a weak sighhh

~ 🍬

__________________________

His cheeks are wet.

He blinks, trying to focus more on breathing than on anything else. The overwhelming sensations have faded and it's only now that he finally feels he can actually breathe again. Slowly his vision clears. The darkness at the corners begin to slip away and he finds himself with his knees against his chest, back braced against the reception desk. Laura is on the floor next to him, her fingers gently curled around his wrist.

There’s still darkness fuzzing across his sight so he can’t be sure, but he thinks, for the briefest moment, that the veins across her hand run black. He blinks again, the darkness is gone. Laura’s fingers slip from his wrist to rub gently across his back.

She’s still counting softly. In, hold, out, hold. Box breathing - he recognises it from therapy.

He thinks absently, that it would be a lot more useful if he could remember to focus on her voice and not on her hand on his back. It’s as distracting as it is comforting but he can’t quite bring himself to tell her to stop.

He raises his fingers to swipe at his cheeks but finds them shaking violently. Instead he drags his forearm roughly across his face.

He has to remember to breathe. Slowly. In. out.

Come on.

Get it together.

Laura’s counting trails off. In the corner of his eye, he sees her lean forward.

He’s reluctant to catch her eye again. Instead he focuses on his knees, his fingertips fussing gently at the faded, almost threadbare fabric covering them.

“Sorry,” he murmurs. “Fucking panic attacks. Haven’t got anything funny to say. They just suck.”

He feels Laura nod beside him.

“I used to get them all the time – my brother too,” she says softly. “You’ve got nothing to apologise for.”

She hesitates, like she wants to add something and then the moment passes and Stiles is left listening to the sound of his breathing, the rustle of Laura’s hand on the fabric of his shirt. Somewhere in the hotel someone is singing, low and smooth.

His heart and breathing begin to settle and the first flushes of embarrassment begin to trickle through but there’s something calm and contained about Laura’s presence next to him. Usually, he’d be mortified but right now he can’t quite bring himself to feel anything much beyond the hum of his own nervous system.

His fingers settle over his knees, curling tight around them and holding firm.

Get a grip.

“Do you think you can stand?” Laura asks.

“There’s only one way to find out,” Stiles mumbles back, his words missing their usual spark.

He climbs slowly to his feet, Laura’s hand gripping his arm, taking more of his weight than he’d like. His legs are shaky and his limbs feel disconnected – but he’s standing and he’s holding relatively steady.

“Let’s get you to your room?” Laura says, managing to make it sound like a question at the last moment.

“Sure,” Stiles says, hating the way he needs her assistance but grateful for it all the same. “I should be able to walk –”

He trails off, glancing back around the lobby just to make sure he’s got everything. He can feel his brain jolting from place to place, his perception is loose and frayed, snagging on the world around him – some of it useful, some of it not. Laura has his bag, the key is in the pocket. He scans the reception desk one last time. All clear. Let's go.

They shuffle awkwardly towards the stairs, Stiles casting one final look over his shoulder. He's about to look away when he sees it. The blackened prints of his fingertips, burned into the wood.

Ranulf is by far one of the characters with the most potential that I wish they went more in depth with. He's such an important and prominent character, but the fact that you don't even hear he's been having these nightmares for the past three or so years now unless you get this specific dialogue is such a shame.

I think he's a perfect comedy relief/plot serious balanced character, but the amount of personal information we have about him/his feelings/his life are minimal. We see a completely different side of him when they went to Gritnea Tower in PoR, but it's something we only see again one more time, and that's in this chapter.

It's basically like, he has a lot of depth and personality, but they only sprinkle it very sparingly. I just find that to be so odd considering his importance in both games, and the fact that he's one of the central characters in RD in general (that is, he's even more prominent in RD than he was in PoR, and he was still relatively important in PoR). He's no less filled with characterization than other main characters like Ike and Soren, but we're given it so infrequently that it's much easier to gloss over and not think much about again.

I wish they did more with the other facets of his character, outside of him being one of the most kind, intelligent and empathetic characters (especially among the beast laguz, since the general impression we're given is that the bird tribe uses logic over emotion in comparison to the usually emotional and erratic beast laguz, and those are the two most prominent laguz species in the story).

Like, it's great that he has those qualities, but people get angry. They get aggressive. They get enraged. No person is just a solid funny and nice person, and Ranulf has all of those kind and angry qualities, but they skimp so much on this amazing writing of him. You learn so much about him and what he's been going through from these few brief instances of him becoming angry, but they just don't touch on it enough. They had a chance to continue his first base conversation with Ike and bring it up to him. It would've been the perfect time, because we have this dialogue in their first conversation:

Ike: You can come talk to me anytime you want. Don’t think you’re alone in all this. Ranulf: Heh… What are you, an inquisitor? Ike: A guy’s got to do something between battles. Talk to you later. Ranulf: …

At first Ranulf was talking about feeling bad for bringing beorc into a laguz affair, and then they discuss that Skrimir is giving Ranulf a headache with his behavior. That could've been their first conversation, but then they could've had a follow up based around the end of their conversation (the above). It would've been the perfect opportunity to give us another base conversation where Ranulf does go to talk to him because of these nightmares and all the stress he's been having. Imo the way they end the conversation with "...", makes it sound like there's more on Ranulf's mind than just what he was open about.

If you consider that he's been having nightmares about what he saw at Gritnea Tower for the past few years, then you consider that the laguz all just found out from Rafiel that the Begnion senators started the rumor about the herons to get them all killed, it's reasonable imo to consider that Ranulf is intelligent enough that he may have been starting to put the pieces together.

We learn late into part 3 that Izuka was working with the senators, and I feel like Ranulf's suspicions should've been raised. I don't think it's necessarily bad writing that he didn't catch on, but more of a missed opportunity. The whole situation affected him very deeply and they were very expressive about that in both games, but it's just that we don't see enough of that side of him, as in, we don't see it enough times.

In a way I feel like it also hits harder when you have the fun/funny, friendly, kind person experience something that tragic - witnessing the result of his race having been used for experiments and seeing their rotted corpses. Knowing people see his race as expendable and on top of that, left their carcasses to rot after pure torture. He saw innocent lives that had been taken and after all that horror, not even given any sort of burial, let alone a proper one.

There's also the fact that he's a cat - he has a very good sense of smell, and that's how he realized who the Black Knight was before anyone else. The smell of rotting corpses alone would be a lot to handle, but to be able to smell it better than anyone else in the room would have been absolutely traumatizing.

Again - the fun and funny, friendly, kind person experienced something horrible enough that he had a breakdown over it (and (presumably extreme based on context) subsequent emotional distress for years following). Tibarn and Reyson had their own ways of dealing with it that we were also shown (Tibarn was more much collected about it, and he put his rage into his strength, which Reyson similarly did, versus Ranulf's very outward emotional response), but Ranulf has never been subjected to anything that horrendous through the events of the game prior.

To have it be a one off situation in both games (as detailed as they were at the times they happened) is a huge shame imo and deserved to be expanded upon. It's clearly not something he got over over the years, and may never have gotten over post RD (even if he did feel better about it after killing Izuka or, if you didn't have him kill Izuka, if he felt better about it knowing Izuka had been killed for his crimes by the army Ranulf was part of).

I just wish they went more into detail about his feelings, because they were very powerful and emotional and felt like they should've been a stronger part of his character as a whole. Considering his role in RD is about as important if not more important than Elincia's PoR presence, it's something he really deserved as a central character. I love this battle dialogue because it shows you his raw feelings outside of that good ol' sweetheart guy. We can see something he's been struggling with, and we can see him express that so well in the scene they did give him that it would've been amazing to have more of that.

RIP me I guess for reading the Vision of Shadows and believing Alderheart should be a medicine cat actually. He’s my all time favorite and looking him up had led to me to see a lot of the same opinions of him being a warrior. Like most of the fandom agrees with that notion. But I never did. I never once wanted that.

And it’s not because I don’t want him to be happy. I think he fits well into the medicine cat role and actually likes it. He didn’t dwell on it as much as Jayfeather, that’s for sure. I’m not sure, based on his morals, that he would even like to be a warrior. He’s far too compassionate to want to fight over a stupid border dispute, and he even rants about how leaders only care about territories.

I know people didn’t like that he became a medicine cat because he’s anxious and fails at his warrior apprenticeship. But I don’t feel like I have to remind you that he didn’t become a medicine cat because he was bad, he did because of his connection to StarClan. And I get the whole “Firestar was connected to StarClan” And there’s an obvious difference between Spottedleaf talking to Firestar and a random kit joining in with the shared moonpool prophecy. I know people don’t like to accept this because of Mothwing and our own hate towards their religion, but it’s widely accepted that being that close to StarClan is half of the job. I’m not trying to discredit Mothwing, but I am trying to point out how the cult tends to work.

I want a warrior with a strong connection to StarClan as well, but sharing dreams with medicine cats that are at the moonpool is not one of those cats!

And his anxiety and slow learning never fully stopped when he switched. He still messed up with herbs. And I don’t think it’s fair to say the medicine cat job is some thing that’s bad, and shouldn’t be an option if a cat wants to be happy.

Not to mention Alderheart genuinely believed that the only reason he was sent to the medicine den is exactly what the fandom says. But in the same book, the first VoS book, he learns it was because he would make a good medicine cat, and his opinion changes. He isn’t longing for the life he wished he has like Jayfeather did when he was an apprentice. The closest thing we got to that was when he was devastated Sandstorm died and got jealous of Sparkpelt when she became a warrior. 

Based on my opinion, as a very emotional and anxious person, someone who related deeply to Alderheart in opinions and actions, I think he should be a medicine cat. I don’t think we should treat being a warrior as the height of clan society. And I think, and I cannot stress this enough, that changing your life goals to fit yourself is not a bad thing! 

I think at the end of the day, fuck Bramblestar for not taking Alderheart seriously and well as never doing anything and making his son feel he isn’t good enough. I do think Alderheart could’ve made it as a warrior but I don’t think it would’ve worked well with his character.

... Well folks, you know what to do.

Post more naked Morgott.

[cursed-anduknowit]

Oooh~ this neon pen will be my downfall im calling it right nOW

[atenceladusiaawfytbwb]

hi, uhm I FUCKING CAN NOT 🙂

(After my tags ranting(selfdiscovering)) and I'm proud of how hard I would fight against it and how hard I'd fight against it and how fucking hard I'd fucking fight against it. Fucckkk ittttt 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

But also what? Can't you just fucking surrender? (no 😐) I mean, ahhhhhhhhh I know whtat I'm thinking and what I meaning but it sounds like such a pain and effort to write and ex p lain it. Just know I'm so right and I'm also so interesting and complex.

((Something something, a setting with like idk a kidnapped reader would be less stressing than this ugh blissful ugh romance ugh can't escape your ugh instincts ugh ugh ugh. Because the dark tragic first one is that and is presented and meant and worked through like that, while the second is put like some romance troubling 'ugh this dirty instincts are spilling out my bra oh my! will someone save this naughty naughty girl' teehee(🤢🤢��🤮). So yeah yeah yeah. ¡BITE OFF HIS FACE, GIRL! WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!

💆‍♀️ I'm so complex and interesting. But also everything in me makes sense and fits right in and flows. Ah, perfect 👌

I do like her reaction when J goes "it tricked me too."

V came with the assumption that J knew about this all along, that she had been keeping secrets from her just like how she kept secrets from N.

She realizes (and even admits later) that J was just the messanger and was tricked by it as well - she didn't just work with Cyn because she can.

But that is the only bit of vulnerability J will show and instantly fires at her, so she cannot think too much about it. The planet is getting destroyed, survival instincts are both activated, J has to do her job, V wants to survive and keep N safe. So the fight contiunes either way.

[narugen-moved]

i could dead serious count the amount of panels she has gotten thus far on one hand

[discountdyke]

idk why but some of yall think that being a trans man makes you nothing like a cis man and then turn around and start attacking women and claiming that women as a class are oppressing men. and idk how to explain to you that this is exactly what cis men do. and that's not a good thing
