For the ask meme thing: Obi-Wan and Kit Fisto "Are you flirting with me?"

“Are you flirting with me?” Obi-Wan asked, raising an eyebrow.

Kit blinked and then burst out laughing one of his classic belly laughs, bending over slightly to catch his breath.  Obi-Wan spotted a few of the nearby Knights and Masters turning to look at them as they walked by.

A few moments passed, then Kit caught his breath, pulling himself upright and grinning at Obi-Wan.

“Not exactly,” he replied.  “I’m just here as a distraction.”

Obi-Wan frowned.  “A distraction?  From what?” he asked, looking around briefly.  There wasn’t anything particularly...distracting going on.  Unless...

Kit’s grin widened, and then the Force screeched a warning.  Before he could turn around and figure out exactly what was happening, a familiar voice shouted, “Surprise!”

The next thing he knew, something thick and smelly splashed itself onto his head, dripping down onto his clothes and covering him instantly.

Something...purple?

Obi-Wan blinked, and he instantly regretted it as the substance slipped into his eyes.  Luckily, it didn’t sting, but it did make it very difficult to see.  He brought his hands up to his eyes to scrub it away.

When his vision cleared, he saw Anakin standing in front of him, can of paint in hand.

“Anakin,” he sighed, and some paint got into his mouth.  He immediately spat it out and rubbed his mouth clean, realizing that a significant amount of paint had gotten stuck in his hair and his beard.

“That’s what you get for dumping sand on me last week!” Anakin exclaimed, grinning.  “Thanks for the help, Master Fisto!”  He high-fived the Nautolan Master and then they walked away, leaving Obi-Wan dripping purple paint onto the pristine white floors.

Obi-Wan sighed, looking down at his purple-stained robes.  He didn’t know if the paint would wash off easily, but it didn’t really matter—not really.

Anakin had no idea what would be coming for him next.  This was only the beginning, after all.

I'm not reading comics right now, but the little bits and pieces I see from your posts about stuff like Empyre have created this weird cracky amalgamation in my head and it's giving me life.

the xmen are straight up bonkers awful right now and it disappoints me. but empyre (the main title) is so good. icb i actually like a marvel comics event let alone a comic book in 2020.

“why the hell is there glitter everywhere?” and how could I choose anything but Dragon Age? lol

TITLE: Sparkle JuicePAIRING: Hawke x Varric (platonic)RATING: E for EA sucks–I mean, everyoneWORD COUNT: 1,050WARNING: n/a

NOTES: takes place after act 2, but don’t ask me when. ¯\_(��)_/¯

Send me a prompt + a fandom/character!

As the glitter exploded like a thunderous rainstorm around her, the thought occurred to Hawke that maybe, just maybe, she had been duped. Again. In her defense, if she couldn’t trust shady back-alley merchants, then who could one trust in Kirkwall?

The sheer amount of the stuff that permeated every available surface was impressive. Or would’ve been, if it wasn’t getting in Hawke’s eyes. She shook her head back and forth. Some splattered from her head to the floor in response.

Hawke had half a mind to take her complaint straight to the vendor. Cheap manufacturing at its finest. As if it were her fault somehow that it was so distracting thinking about how sexy she’d look that she dropped the glass bottle. But she had bigger fish to fry first. Namely, cleaning up this mess before she was caught by–

“Why the hell is there glitter everywhere?”

Ah, shit.

“Funny. I get that from Madam Lusine all the time,” she teased, not having to turn around to identify who entered. She’d recognize those rich vocal undertones anywhere. Even when half-asleep, even when half-dead; both of which she had first-hand proof of. The Deep Roads had not been much fun for anyone, save for perhaps Sandal.

Hawke turned to face her best friend. She shed more glitter as she went, like snow toppling down the side of Sundermount. Varric had his arms crossed across his chest in a chastising manner, but his quirked eyebrow and slight smirk gave him away.

“It’s like I told you before, Hawke. Leave it to the professionals at The Blooming Rose.” Varric shook his head at her and his smirk softened into downright fond. “When amateurs try their hand at the craft, well. Glitter bombs go off apparently. In my room, most curiously.”

Ah, yeah. Hawke had decided to test out the product here at The Hanged Man to avoid any familial nagging at home. Which benefited her personally, but him not so much. She’d have to do some serious damage control.

Hawke shrugged, trying desperately to ignore the shimmering dust falling off her shoulders, and tried to appear casual. “Yes, that is rather peculiar, isn’t it? And almost certainly no one’s fault, least of all anyone in this room.” 

Varric mumbled a response (”Uh-huh.”) and entered the room fully, heading straight towards the epicenter of the disaster. 

She continued, stalling for time. “I suppose that just goes to show you how shoddy the security in this tavern is. Just think if that had been a lyrium grenade. Or gaatlok!” A shudder thrown in for dramatic effect and then, “You really ought to move in with me, Varric. For your safety. Leave this unsolvable mystery for the templars to shove under the rug.”

As if he hadn’t heard a word of what she said, Varric squatted to pick up the largest intact piece of the bottle. “So you mean to tell me you have no idea about this–” He held it up to the light where the label was clear enough to read. “–Sparkle Juice…? Really, Hawke?”

“Hey, Jorman said it’d awaken my inner Andraste–” but Hawke couldn’t even finish her sentence before dissolving into a fit of giggles. Varric followed suit almost instantly. In-between laughs, he choked out a, “Ye–yeah, maybe the–the being set on fire bit–” and that just got them going all over again.

When the laughter subsided, Hawke had somehow fallen to the ground and found herself right in the middle of Mount Glitter. Varric had also accepted his fate and was fully seated on the ground. His leather duster was already covered. The battle was over before it had even begun.

“I’ll clean it up, of course.”

“You mean you’ll trick Gamlen into cleaning it up for you.”

“Eh, tomato, potato,” she said with a wave of her hand.

“That’s not–” Varric started, then sighed. “Just tell me you didn’t waste any good coin on this hogwash.”

Silence.

“Hawke–”

“Oh, c’mon, Varric. That’s not fair. You know I can’t be held responsible for my financial decisions when my trusty dwarf isn’t by my side to give counsel.” 

Hawke scooted herself over to the empty spot on the wall next to Varric, leaning over to place her cheek on his shoulder. His scent was always comforting to her. Strong, but not overbearing. Inviting, but not sweet.

He sighed again. Then he adjusted so his jaw was resting on the top of her head.

“Did you mean it?”

She scrunched her eyebrows in confusion. “Which part? I say a lot of things I don’t mean, you know.”

“True enough. If you were as honest as you are beautiful, the Grand Cleric would’ve banned you from the Chantry by now, Champion or not.” He chuckled, the sound a low rumble through his chest. “I meant about me moving in to your home. Not that I would, mind you. I’m a tad fearful of those papers Anders always leaves at your place springing to life in the middle of the night. We’ve done a lot of crazy shit together, but fighting a paper monster dead set on justice? I’ve gotta draw the line somewhere, don’t I?”

As Varric rambled, Hawke lifted her head so she could look him square in the eye. Even if they hadn’t been the very best of friends for quite some time now, she’d recognize what he was doing here. Babbling on and cracking jokes to cover up any whiff of real emotions; it was her go-to move. Right alongside flirting and stabbing.

“You idiot.” This made him stop in his tracks. His eyes merely blinked as she continued, “Of course you’re always welcome in my home. What’s mine is yours. No question.”

(Not that she had much of anything to give, but that was beside the point. Because Varric still broke-out in a wide grin like that was enough, like she was enough. Kirkwall was rotten, but what they had was not.)

“Dammit, Hawke. This is no time to get sentimental.” He patted the top of her head, causing even more glitter to fall right into her eyelashes. “You’ve got a brand new look to show off downstairs.”

“No,” she said before taking his hand into hers. “We have our brand new looks to show off downstairs.”

Varric laughed.

Dear manyangledone,

Just to make it clear I wasn't talking about misogyny on my reblog. My words were in regards to the two version of a story, that's it. I chose my words very carefully so I wouldn't get a response like this. You are assuming things I wasn't saying. This is a huge misunderstanding.

A few hours ago I was watching a western movie and discussing with someone close to me about the two versions of the story:

a) We must kill the Native Americans because they are atacking us. We cannot let them burn our lands and steal our food.

b) We must kill the cowboys because they come and stole our lands. Let's take the food cultivated in our lands so we can survive.

That is what I meant by two versions of a story. Taking both sides is a lot of fun for me. And doing it while reading Fire & Blood made me enjoy it more. Where am I supporting misogyny by saying that?

It's ok to have a reaction about a biased opinion. Actually it's what everybody should do.

Please, read again the things I said:

History is something I love, especially because it's so full of untruths and lies written by the winners that I can spend hours discussing with people about it.

I had a lot of fun while reading. Trying to figure out what version of the events was the real one was a lovely challenge. Or which parts of a story were true and which false and making up a version closer to the truth (is this a headcannon?).

Winners = misogynistic person

Falseness = misogyny

And finally, what I said about the GOT prequel. I meant they would choose one version (Rhaenyra/ Visenya is despicable, look what she did OR this thing R/V did was good but this person didn't like it and then spread this rumour that is completely false) and run with it. I'm sorry I worded it out in a way that lead you to misunderstand me. That's what I meant by a more factual version. It doesn't mean you need to like the version they use. If it's misogynistic you're free to criticise it.

I'm sorry that I'm putting this in a different post but tumblr wouldn't allow me to reblog the post and I'm so bad at technologies that I can't figure out why.

I probably should have overlooked this but I hate it when people misunderstand my words.

Have a nice day.

3. In your opinion, what’s your best fic?

‘Haven’t I Seen You Before?’ one of my BNHA fics. I was very satisfied with the flow and it created a fun ‘possible’ universe, which I’m admittedly going to start ‘filling in’ with a bunch of ‘what could be’ one shots.

@manyangledone

Omg, this is exciting. TYRATHAN BETTER FREAKING HAVE A PART IN THIS OMFG Also I'm kinda eh about loa!Vol'jin but if that's the only option we get to keep him around (like, resurrection isn't actually on the table), then I'll take it.

Tyrathan better be there to help ressurect his boyfriend!!!

My greatest problem, and fear, with this setup is the following though:

They’ve recovered a character that has A. no relation to the current events (Zalazane, unless we get new information, has no relation to G’huun, the blood trolls, or even the Horde vs Alliance conflict) B. How does he get free? Does he just escape Bwonsamdi, does he murder him, does he absorb his powers??? Remember that we’ve been waiting YEARS to know more about the Loa, and we’ve already killed 4. In the eyes of Blizzard, killing one to instantly substitute him is totes ok, because who cares about the trolls and their culture, really And C. If Vol’jin turns into a Loa, which is efectively a God, his actions get limited, especially if he becomes Bwonsamdi’s “succesor”. But basically, he cannot be a leader of the Horde anymore.

Of these points, the one that really matter is A, because this could just become a sidequest with little to no relation to the “important events”, where we go, do some stuff, learn of a characters fate, and then completely forget about him. Which could happen if we Go to stop Zalazane, help Vol’jin come back so he can defeat Zal, the leftovers of Bwonsamdi proclaim him his succesor, Vol’jin says “I’ll do my best” and that’s the last time we see him. Maybe he comes in later to show support, but that’s it.

And that’s the equivalent of Blizzard going “here, this is what really happens to this character, is it better that his other end? Isn’t it cool? are you happy now? Can we go back to ignoring him?”

And I hate that.

I hope that I’m just being a pessimist crankypants and completely wrong, but this is blizzard, and I’ve known him for some years now...

But yea, that’s why I’m so relucant to the “Vol’jin Loa”, that they do this just so they get us off of their backs instead of doing it for love and understanding of the character.

It would be much more interesting if instead of just becoming a Loa, he got the powers/blessing of one temporarily, which is what actually brings him back to this world. It would be a power up, but not as hard as becoming a God, so this new chance he has becomes half  a trial because he has to learn how to handle this new powers (before he was a powerfull Shadowhunter and served many Loa, but now he is like a direct conduit of the power of a specific Loa, just to put an example), but still can be the Chieftain of the Darkspears, an important member of the Leadership of the Horde, and... he could still participate in the Brewfest...

Sorry I wrote so much, needed it off my chest.

@manyangledone replied to your post “manyangledone replied to your post “hey does anyone wanna read and...”

so not quite sure about the format, it seemed kinda like two different things? I left some notes, in general it seemed pretty good

ahhh thank you so much!! sorry I fell asleep last night before I saw this reply but I really appreciate it!!!

and yeah it’s a weird assignment format all around, it’s supposed to be three different sections that are marked by different profs but submitted all together??

[aethas]

manyangledone replied to your post: if theyre going to write sylvanas like this then...

I really hope they don’t just explain Baine’s position ineffectually in a book that most people won’t read -.-

HONESTLY? YEA. its a very real possibility, something theyll likely do and it scares me lmfao. like if thats the only way theyre gonna explain the other horde leaders’ positions then im gonna be mad

Six sentence prompt thing: Hardcase/Obi-Wan, Emperor Hardcase

For this ask game

*giggles*

-

"This is ridiculous," General Kenobi murmurs, careful not to let the Jedi cadets hear. "Where did they even hear about the old Mandalorian Empire?"

Hardcase just keeps grinning and lets the little Nautolan drape a crown of flowers over his head. "Don't worry, General," he says, carding one hand through Kenobi's hair and pulling him to rest more firmly against his legs with the other. "I'll protect you from the big, bad Sithlings."

Kenobi snorts but lets himself be moved, careful not to overbalance Hardcase's 'throne' of sleeping mats, fluffy comfort objects, and every pillow in the crèche.

"Of course, my liege," he drawls, watching the cadets on the other side of the room draw up a battle plan. "My fate rests in your most capable hands, Emperor Hardcase."

it’s like the same with Iron Fist. Like they literally cast people in Iron Fist who would have made a better Danny Rand than that dude. MCU loves their mediocre white guys.

LEWIS TAN WAS RIGHT THERE....THE DANNY WE DESERVE. fuking iron fist was embarrassing af bc that bland macaroni hair fool couldn’t act for shit and i tried so hard to sit through it for colleen but i couldnt deal with him.....

Two Fandoms: OUAT and OW ;)

Send me Two Fandoms and I'll Tell You... || still accepting

Which has the better protagonist: idk that overwatch has a set lead. unless i’m allowed to count tracer as the lead, since she’s kind of the face of the whole game/most memorable. so between her and emma, i’d go tracer. i haven’t been disappointed in her arc so far and she’s adorbs

Which has the better villain: It’s a tie between Reaper and Cora. 

Which has the better plot: Overwatch

Which has better cinematography: I’m gonna go with overwatch? Their videos are always great and I get so pumped for new events whenever we get new characters or bits of worldbuilding

Which one is more fun: overwatch. i haven’t immersed myself in fandom enough to hate it so i’m still enjoying myself with the game and its lore (i’ve learned lmao)

Which one makes me think the most: i’m gonna say it’s about the same??

Which do I watch when I want to relax: i’ll play overwatch when i’m bored/want to unwind. and i’ll watch the first two seasons of ouat when i want a good cry

Which do I watch when I want it to consume me: seasons 1 and 2 of ouat

Which is my favorite: even though i hated everything that happened post season 3a, i gotta go with ouat. but overwatch comes a close second

manyangledone replied to your post: It occurs to me that for Wheel of Time, rather...

there’s always that one fandom

There really is. And it only really occurred to me since I’ve actually been semi-good about doing meta lately. 

And more or less randomly posting what are more thoughts/musings over on @wheelofmeta than true meta.

@manyangledone

The amount of times people get into fights on Reddit because someone hasn't read a certain book and someone has is just too much lol they need to find ways of introducing stuff, even if it's just something like a way to read summaries of the book events in game or something

The best way would be to have the Characters actually acknowledge those events. There are a thousand narrative tools to do this, from in game cinematics of flashbacks, to quests dialogues.... the fact that they don’t use them is only more salt to my wounds...
