This idea I have that I just have to sit down and WRITE ALREADY dammit!!! Alternate ending, canon adjacent, playing with Ascended Astarion x Tav x Raphael. Tav breaks up with Astarion, knowing she can’t possibly be with him the way his is post ritual, and in doing so loses her bet with Raphael (of course she knows this but her pride/past experience won’t let her remain with Astarion, the way he’s acting something Raphael was banking on) so now she’s sworn to serve him, but she’s never told anyone about this deal, certainly not Astarion. Which becomes the start of this fic.

Trigger warning for implied dubcon…

In the six months before the party, Astarion obviously thinks about her still, but none of the companions know what’s gone down.

The party comes and goes and Tav…doesn’t come. Karlach especially is upset by this and convinces the others to go to Astarion and ask what’s up. He doesn’t know and they didn’t realize Tav left him.

Astarion tries to play it cool, but eventually they convince him they have to at least see what she’s doing. So they scry and at first it doesn’t work because she’s in Avernis. They scry again, wondering what the hell she’s doing in well, hell.

Indeed they see her this time, wearing familiar armor covered in gore and Astarion makes some comment like see? She’s just doing adventure-y stuff (while inside dying because seeing her makes him realize how much he misses her)

But, they realize that somethings off, she looks dead-eyed and then the (very cinematic for angst purposes) scrying eye pans out and they realize she’s entering the House of Hope. As she enters and walks towards Raphael’s quarters, her armor magicks away slowly (like water or smoke) revealing a very bare, very un-Tav dress. Those walking around the house see her coming and step out of her path, there a whispers as she passes but she seems unbothered. There are strange markings on her skin, like sketched tattoos of very thin chain.

The companions watch in stunned silence as Tav reports to Raphael, her job complete. They banter like they did during the length of their journey, but it’s not quite the same. Tavs acting strangely, she seems tired and clipped. Raphael tells her to sit and she approaches one of the chairs in front of his desk, but he “corrects” her, the markings on her skin and her eyes glowing a sinister orange. She jolts in pain but complies, moving around his desk and sitting on his lap. She maintains an aura of control and in many ways seems like her normal self, but it’s all a veil. He asks her to read a contract he’s been working on, as she does he starts touching her, kissing her neck. She seems embarrassed by this but not unsurprised as if it’s happened time and again. Eventually he snaps the contract away and pulls her closer, she responds in kind.

Of course now they know that somethings not just off. Something is very, very wrong.

Just the first scene with more ideas to come.

So I noticed a dangling plot hook at the end of homestuck that i’m not sure that I’ve ever seen addressed. Its about Dirk and Jake.

Because if you look at Jake’s character arc in regards to romance its:

 He kinda sort of knows that all of his friends like him but doesn’t know how to deal with it (he’s very ace)

At the same time, he doesn’t despise the idea of being in a relationship. For example, he develops a sort of crush on Aranea. 

So when dirk does a grand corpse-smooch-with-volcanos romantic gesture, Jake basically says “this might as well happen”

But he can tell that he doesn’t feel the same way about dirk that dirk feels about him. He also isn’t used to existing in the same space as other people.

So he develops a habit of disappearing unnanounced, which dirk responds to by becoming clingier, resulting in a spiral of horrible cringe fail teen romance.

They are both ready to call it off when trickster mode happens. Plans are made to have a gazillion babies.

  He godteirs into a speedo

  Jane crockerteirs and states a very clear intent to keep him around as a sex slave and hold him to the plan of having a gazillion babies together.

This event is very awful horrible for him, and when Aranea (representing in this narrative his openness to the possibility of being in a relationship) tries to kiss him, he thoroughly freaks out.

Also the aranea kiss thing never happened, but it is reasonable to assume that the crockerteir fiasco is just as horrible for him in the retconned timeline, even if his reaction to it is less visible.

His conversation at the end with john suggests that he has developed a strong distaste for being the object of anyone’s attraction

Dirks arc for these purposes is a lot simpler. He plots and schemes, and it never works the way that he wants it to. He has a horrible cringe fail teen romance that he blames himself for the failure of. And then his brother from another timeline shows up to tell him that his worst qualities are incredibly traumatizing to be in close proximity to.

All of this is to say that in a post Sburb world, Jake would likely be showing signs of trauma, and Dirk would have absolutely no reason to suspect that he didn’t cause said trauma.

 Like, the “tenderness” of the brobot. Hal’s inappropriate comments. The volcano kiss that Dirk feels like Hal used to pressure jake into a relationship. The clinginess, not giving Jake enough space. 

When jake reacts poorly to a situation that he would have used to be fine with, Dirk has so much fodder for rationalizing why its somehow his fault. And how would he ever learn otherwise? Its not like either Jake or Jane are going to be very eager to talk about what happened in that dersite jail.

And I don’t think I’ve ever found a single fanfic exploring this dynamic and I’m going feral thinking about it.

random stuff i drew before watching act 2... i need a minute !

[falimarcis]

We don’t talk enough about Marcille wearing elven clothes pre-canon. Falin would have died right then and there if she ever saw Marcille dressed like this

maybe in another universe, I can ask for help when I need it.

asking a cute puppy increasingly invasive questions and watching them squirm. Come on puppy, you want to be good, don’t you? Tell me how you like to touch yourself. Oh baby, you’re going to need to tell me in more detail than that! How else am I going to be able to replicate it?

[nebulo-philiac]

I find it incredibly hilarious that there's so much ship discourse in the gravity falls fandom regarding more controversial ships with people arguing shit like "alex hirsch would hate you" meanwhile-

He does not give 2 shits about any shipping discourse, like these are literally his responses to getting asked questions like this, please stop dragging him into this

this might be a controversial opinion but i think we unnecessarily platform terfs way too much. people cant even make a fun harmless trans post without people jumping on to be like "yeah, fuck terfs!" and its like. severely not about that at all

tumblr terfs love attention. they feed off of it, ESPECIALLY negative attention which is what some of yall are constantly giving them. if you dont want them interacting with your blog or w/e, thats fine, of course you dont! but everyone quietly blocking them while focusing on trans positivity would be way more beneficial than making the focus entirely about giving them the attention that theyre frothing at the mouth for

and frankly the focus on terfs takes away from conversations about casual transphobia that exists outside of just radical feminism. not everyone hides their transphobia under the guise of being a super feminist, and saying "fuck terfs" makes people feel like theyre above ever perpetuating transphobia, which is DEFINITELY not true

i think marinette is worse at resting when she's sick but adrien is worse at sitting things out if he's injured. i have no explanation, these are just the vibes
