Trying to figure out if Sean is Sean or not, and I just can't stop thinking about this bit. I do think Marion is the one thing Sean wouldn't be willing to give up for the creature. But, if he did fight, that doesn't mean he succeeded.

Imagine being such a hate-twisted pile of vices stacked in a trench coat pretending to be the epitome of Catholic masculinity and faith that THE POPE, THE HOLY FATHER, THE VICAR OF CHRIST HIMSELF writes a scathing letter to every single US bishop (and, by the nature of papal letters being made public, all of the church and the world) explaining in detail how your actions are contrary to the Church and the Scriptures. And in this letter he lays out in detail how the soul you have lashed to the golden calf of Trump and Christian Nationalism has been led so far astray into the domain of Mammon that you are directly responsible for atrocities condemned BY THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE CHURCH. Then he calls you out directly to rebuke you by quoting the theological concept you MISQUOTED AND MISUSED from St Augustine and CORRECTING YOUR BAD INTERPRETATION HIMSELF before ending with an invocation of La Virgen Morena, Our Lady of Guadalupe, to protect those who are being harmed by the horrible actions of you and the fascist administration you serve.

And then imagine having the nerve to carry on with hate in your heart and the arrogance of Jonah anyway.

May God have mercy on JD Vance but more importantly may God have mercy on the millions of people he and our government are harming.

Transformers : One spoiler

I dread for the day that most people watched Transformers : One, because of the amount of takes that basically put the blame on Orion Pax for pushing D-16/Megatron to snap (And then sneakily calling Orion Pax as someone wanted to protect status quo and didn't want to tear down the system simply because he didn't have that need to violently put the oppressors down like some types of common low-lives and force everyone to follow his crusade to screw the system).

Very spoiler!!!!! Warning

Orion Pax tried to stop D-16/Megatron from killing Sentinel has nothing to do with "we became as bad as him if we murder that cunt". It's more like "You're being unhealthy with your hatred and I don't think you should continue with this train of thoughts". And I promise you that Orion didn't that much fuck about Sentinel's well-being. He's afraid for D-16 and whatever direction his friend would become.

Orion Pax noticed how his dear friend began to go down to a very dark part, and he would never stop to spiral down further, even if he murdered Sentinel and his lackies brutally. And D-16 hasn't expressed any contigent plans to change the system into sth better, and all he cared about was how to punish and humiliate Sentinel in a most terrible way possible. And the way he acted toward Starscream and the High guards is peak red flag for potential dictatorship and oppression that use fear, violence, and hatred, which is parallel to Sentinel's own brand of opression that filled with lies, manipulation and exploitation.

And sorry to burst this bubble, but D-16/Megatron isn't the one who is revolutionary. That's Orion Pax's thing. Orion was the only one noticing And it will be funny to see the take "Orion wants to maintain the system" when this little shit first thought when learning about the truth is to expose Sentinel's fake-ass to the mass and rally the oppressed folks to rise up against Sentinel and the system. But I guess it's not violence or brutal enough for some people to acknowledge that Orion is going for the least destructive route to tear down the system because he valued life more.

This is not saying Orion Pax's solution for dismantling the system is the best and only way to go, and sometimes violence can be the best answer in certain circumstances. But if your the whole revolution is based solely on violences, killings and basically tearing down everything to satisfy your hatred/grievances without any considerations for the casualties, consequences, and priorities to rebuild the system, it become a pointless and selfish movement that will actually never bring any substantial changes besides sufferings and tragedies.

Oh, another thought just occurred to me that made me gasp real soft because ow, my heart.

First, to set up what led to the thought, I'll establish something else I noticed in chapter 14. Spoilers ahead:

At the end of the game, you finally get the opportunity to sit in the Flood graveyard without the stress of the storm, and take a moment with Trey's mausoleum if you wish. It's even interactive, letting you get a comment from Hazel and a nice, zoomed-in view of what it says. But if you look closely, you'll notice that there is an owl head at the top of the Flood family crest. (This is theoretically also visible on things like, say, the fancy plates you can see at other points in the game. But it would be too small to make out on those, unless you knew to look.)

After this, you head into the mansion proper. And perched near the broken wall as you exit the graveyard? Is an owl. One that slowly, slowly flies ahead of you, escorting you all the way to the mansion itself. At this point, if you hadn't guessed earlier in the game, it becomes clear that this owl—the one that had landed on the balcony railing when you first hear the strands call to Hazel, and indeed, can occasionally be found flying ahead of you on your path throughout the story—is Trey. Or rather, his spirit, manifested in the form of an owl. It's a lovely little detail, having him help Hazel in what ways he can, while she searches for Lacey.

Now, with that said, some of the owls in the game are probably just owls. But while I was thinking about things, as I said at the start of this post, it occurred to me...there might be one other owl that had very similar significance.

Granted, this could just be a normal owl. The sign next to the stick tent for the Mississippi State National Forest Laurent's Camp has an owl as its logo. And Laurent himself became an owl, of sorts. So there are plenty of reasons for the animal that shows up in his memories to be an owl! However, given that the game establishes a different owl as Trey...it could very well be that this owl was Laurent's mom, Thea. But poor Laurent, he had no idea. He was too hurt to let her watch over him from so close, to keep him company. And oh, how it hurts my heart. At the same time...I wonder whether the owl you see in chapter 7 is still Trey? Or if perhaps Thea is the one acting as a guide in the dark forest, still close enough to keep an eye on her son, while the Strands whisper louder and more often than any other chapter...

A bonus observation, while I'm here:

This is the boat Laurent would go fishing in as a kid, to get them dinner when his dad fell into depression and couldn't manage. (This memory gets me right in the heart, too. Young Laurent is so small, alone in that boat.) Most of the color scheme of the Rougarou is pretty self-explanatory—red muscle and white bone, reflected in his wings, feathers embroidered with eyes almost like a moth's eyespots. But the little bit of green kept puzzling me...until I ran across this boat. That's why his smaller secondary wings have green in them, and why their embroidery is more rudimentary. Hidden under his fabricated outer layer of fancy suit-like wings, under his normal put-together-adult appearance, is the lingering echo of a hurt little kid who had to grow up too fast.

so on top of like, every ratiorine roleswap/personality swap au being just kaeya & albedo 2.0, now i have the additional realization that my nihility genius society!aventurine is just…… mini nous.

like the whole taller blue & black open chested leaning-more-toward-mischief one versus the shorter blue & white deadpan-ish researcher. jesus christ.

AND THEN my aventurine does probability to the point that he’s considered psychic… like that is what nous became an aeon around. jesus christ. nihility aven is not only considered sacrilege because he chose the name ananke (ananke = necessity to nous = intellect), he’s also hated because people see him as attempting to usurp nous/become nous 2.0.

Dark fantasy AU?

-In hindsight, as he's being chased through the forest, hunted by mythical creatures is not where Reggie thought he'd end up when his folks told him they were moving to Los Angeles. Honestly, considering how he used to roam the woods and fields near his Meemaw's farm, the fact that he'd stumbled into a fairy circle near the beach was almost insulting.

-It's not even that he manages to outrun them. It's that one night (he thinks it's night, though time moves differently here and light and dark are all tangled up and is the purple haze of the sky supposed to be dusk or dawn or just a dark stop of the forest?) he'd decided to just... give up.

He couldn't remember how long he'd been running, running from the pounding of hooves and the yapping of dogs that did not look anything like what a dog should look like. He couldn't remember a time where he wasn't hungry, or thirsty, or tired, but something inside of him just kept making him run and run and run

-But he'd had enough. So he just sat down, with his back towards the noise, and hoped they'll kill him quickly. And to comfort himself, he sang the lullaby his Meemaw used to sing when he was scared of the thunder.

-That's what saved him. One of the fae, Caleb, was so charmed by the song that instead of doing whatever it is they did with their prey, he bundled Reggie up and took him to his... castle. Dwelling. Domain.

-He was dressed in finery and made to sing as Caleb and the other fae danced and ate and did things that Reggie very much had not wanted to see, thank you very much. But eventually, they slept, and Reggie met... the other humans who were trapped here.

-Luke, a young boy who had run away from home to become a musician in 1875. He was distraught to hear Reggie tell him it was the nineties now. Even more distraught when Reggie clarified it was the 1990s.

-There was Alex, who had been cast out of his village for reasons he did not want to share, but that Reggie figured out pretty quickly when he saw the way he looked at Willie. He'd fallen asleep near a fairy circle, and the promises he'd been made had been so tempting, he'd said yes before he fully understood the deal.

-And then there was Willie. The boy who had been stolen from his parents, a changeling left in his place. Who had grown up here, a part of this world yet not really. Who did not know what the other boys meant when they talked about years, or America, or really the whole concept of 'family'.

-Luke's the one who tells them of their escape plan. Alex is worried they can't trust Reggie not to rat him out to Caleb, and Reggie is like: um excuse me I was just hunted for sport for who knows how long you think I wanna help that guy?

-But before he can Willie just tilts his head and says: his heart is pure.

-Which is very sweet but also a little creepy.

-Anyway, they do manage to escape Caleb's clutches somehow, and end up back in the human world.

-Being yeeted out of a little ring of mushrooms in the soil of a plant Ray overwatered in the big plant wall of the Molina studio was not particularly pleasant, okay. Considering a real human should not be able to fit through that. But Willie explained that as soon as a fairy portal grew, it was only a manner of time that the fairies would notice it and stake it out to see what they could lure to their realm.

-Somehow, Luke and Alex get thrown clear across the room, Luke slamming against the door, Alex dropping onto the concrete floor.

-Reggie's not sure if him crashing against a pretty wooden piano is better or worse. The sound it made was definitely worse.

-Somehow, Willie ends up sitting crosslegged on the little piano bench, and he turns and quickly crushes up the mushrooms to destroy the portal.

-Julie, of course, is screaming, Alex and Luke and Reggie are screaming. Willie is trying to explain to Julie she over-watered her fern and pouts when she runs away.

-No they're not ghosts but they are changed and they all have weird powers. Luke nearly cries with joy that he can still summon his guitar. Alex is really not okay with this whole 'walking through walls' thing. Reggie is sad he cannot summon a puppy or a pizza.

-Willie can teleport short distances and is shocked to learn humans can't just do that? You have to walk everywhere? Or ride a horse. What's a car? What's roller skates? He needs to see one of these skateboad things immediately, let's summon the human girl back to ask for one. What can they trade for a skateboard?

-They're kind of freaked out at the whole 2020 thing, but hey, Reggie's like: at least it hasn't been a hundred years like when I told Luke about the 90s.

-Queue canon but it's even worse and more chaotic.

For years, severe insomnia had me writing at night. I'm not a night owl, not by any stretch. For the last several nights, I've tried writing this extremely smutty scene, but to no avail. My brain begins preparing for closing at around 8PM, knocking me into a stage of stupid by 10PM as it demands I go to bed. I take my edible (I cannot use Rx sleep aids, but the edible I use works magic) and fight bedtime like a damn child. By 11PM, it's kicked in fully, and I'm walking around with just one eye open and constantly touching my face and hair. No point in fighting sleep, so off to bed.

My natural wake-up time is six hours after crashing. Doesn't matter when I go to bed. Damn near exactly six hours of sleep, and then I cannot sleep anymore. This morning, I was up at 7:18AM, and decided to stop being stupid and try writing now instead of the evening.

Wow, look at that. 1400 words in the span of an hour, and I'm not even halfway done. Gosh, it can't possibly have anything to do with me following my body's natural cycle, can it?

I'll have this delicious filthy chapter posted by the end of the day.

Wholesome reminder:

Rad, in any name, is, yes, automatically ruined. But before responding to anyone, you look through their blog, their posts and reblogs, and their intro to get an idea of their character and how they are as a person. You never know if you accidentally go after a person who may be genuinely a good person and may be using a term differently to them than what we know nowadays or may be using a term that, even though we know it, is different from that term's connotation or using the term's original definition, which has been skewed by others who misused it and has altered our perception to think that person is the same as the rest who misused it. 

Also, with anyone, you have a civil conversation regardless of your opinion of them, like you do in a discussion. If not, instead of reacting, just block and go about your day.

:3 thats it!

I made this blog mainly as a place to store art + memes for my fandoms and doodles of my original stories. I’ve posted a lot of the former, but none of the latter, so… Here you go? Have some goofy “incorrect quotes” inspired jokes of a project of mine called The Name-Oath.

Context is indented and italicized, but you can probably read through the doodles below without getting too confused if you skip it:

The first half of the actual plot is your standard fae romance starring a human woman who doesn’t realize the male lead is a supernatural creature, and just thinks he’s really into cosplaying alone in a mansion in some freaky forest. The second half is rom-com shenanigans between the divorced human woman and male lead after the world's ugliest breakup. He desperately tries to get back together at every waking moment and she just wants to hang out with her bestie Summer and raise her half-fae daughter in peace. The human woman is named Eglantine, but goes by Egg. She got stuck with the nickname during high school and decided to start going by it in an effort to have a more "average" sounding name. This did not work as intended, but it certainly helped her avoid getting her name stolen when she first met the male lead. She's something called a skipwitch. This is a whole worldbuilding thing I'm not going to get into here. The male lead is named Kieran. He is a drama king. He spent several centuries under magical house arrest. He can talk to rats. He has pretty hair. This is all you need to know about him, except maybe the fact that he's royalty. Summer is Egg's best friend, and she is the resident fae expert in her and Egg's coven. Competitive and protective of Egg. She hates Kieran's guts, and the feeling is mutual. Egg and Kieran's daughter is named Violet, but she goes by Froggy. She is a terrifying force of nature by virtue of being the offspring of a skipwitch and Unseelie prince. Enjoys microwave pizzas, her pet beta fish, video games, and getting her way. Alois is Kieran's invisible butler. He's a surprisingly talented singer.
