#on how like the one person you thought cared abt you just threw you away like that. and you have no idea why

[aq2003]

i can't be happy for the bisexuals pairing up with each other in the end if i'm weeping over malvolio come on guys this isn't funny. Guys this isn't funny. guys. please. Please

[mabaris]

ok i’m listening to yesterday’s vows and vengeance episode and i had to pause immediately because harding swearing by the stone was so unexpected??? the idea that surfacer dwarves still believe in the stone as an actual religion is so interesting because unlike the other religions in thedas that believe they were abandoned by their respective deistic force(s), it is the individual who abandons the stone. the maker left the physical world and the creators were locked away against their will, but the stone is always there until you leave it, by choice or by force.

to have someone born and raised on the surface who still pays some importance to the stone introduces the idea of redemption to the philosophy of the stone. to me, being on the surface and still putting some kind of importance on it implies you left unwillingly right? because if you choose to walk away from it, you don’t care about preserving those ties. i wonder if she’s going to be something of a foil to varric—a child of exiles, born and raised on the surface, but she actually does have a desire to connect to that culture. and maybe that desire to reconnect is related to her weird new powers

Hi, I just finished reading Queen of nothing and I was looking through the books again.

The scene with the faerie fruit in TCP Carden throws the salt away (the antidote), I find that quite odd

Although as he's returned human servants before pricking their fingers seems like an easier thing than making them eat something salted?

Maybe there's no significance to it, it's just something that sticks in my mind for that scene and wondered if you had any thoughts on it

short cardan analysis / why did cardan throw the salt

hi! i am not sure i understand the question completely, so feel free to send another ask abt this, but i assume that you’re wondering why he threw the salt in the first place? i doubled this as a short cardan analysis/ scene analysis! hope u don’t mind!

if you’re asking: why bother with the salt at all, when jude has salt in her blood? not sure, but salting food destroys ensorcellment on that food, so she has to keep it on her anyway, opposed to pricking her finger and putting her blood on her food lol, BUT as for cardan..

at the faerie fruit scene, cardan does not yet recognize his feelings for jude as anything that isn’t hatred.

since jude is consuming his every thought, he’s frustrated, and eager to make her obey him, because he thinks that when she submits to him, stops opposing him, that he can finally stop thinking of her.

and so, he pushes valerian off when he’s atop her, choking her, bc he never wanted her to die. that is very clear to him from the start, he never wants to be like dain. but it’s unclear to jude bc she’s biased.

holly states that if cardan were a better person that he would’ve found a way to stop his friends sooner, which is true, but unfortunately, because of his upbringing, he is not.

now, he throws the salt in the air scattering it among the grass, because finally, he thinks that under influence of the faerie fruit, jude is going to submit to him.

in part, he does want to see her humiliated, brought down low, for bringing him down low with her. another part of him does want to see her hurt.

which is obvious. cardan hurts and humiliates faeries throughout the high and low courts. it’s just what he does.

but as the events progress, as nicasia makes her undress and humiliates her further, cardan finds himself irrationally upset.

because it turns out that cardan does not in fact like seeing jude hurt or like seeing her humiliated as he thought.

bc he hadn’t recognized his feelings for her yet. until i suspect, now, due to this scene.

anyway, i must sum up cardans character to help ppl understand, prince cardan acted as though he had no heart for a long time, to protect himself. because when he did act like he had a heart, ppl hurt him. his mother, dain, balekin, nicasia, locke even.

and so by pretending to not feel for jude made things easier, but when they both clashed and fought, he realized more and more how jude takes up his every thought, even when she shouldn’t. even when he was w nicasia.

and when jude was hurt and humiliated, he realized not just the surface level feelings of desrire, but how much he cared for her. how much he didn’t want to see her hurt, see her humiliated.

opposed to the many folk he hurt and humiliated and cast from court. bc jude was different. she wasn’t a courtier that bowed and smiled and faked at flattery, which he grew to find insufferable and angering.

she found him undeserving of princely treatment, and tried her hardest at fitting in, even when she very clearly was human. even when he thought that it was pointless and ridiculous.

cardan finds jude fascinating for many of her qualities, but as we see in htkoelths, this is one of them. and one of the first qualities in her that catches his eye. her determination. her unwillingness to give up and to submit.

which he didn’t understand, bc he’s fae and a prince and he doesn’t have to fit in, and she was a human and a bastard, so why put any effort into anything at all? why work hard for a short life? cardan does not understand humans, he’s a child, and he only interacted w glamoured humans before her and val moren.

anyway, it seems that jude and taryn were mostly left alone in gentry classes by cardan specifically, while valerian would harass jude himself (ex: when he stole her pen and madoc replaced it w a ruby one). until taryn started seeing locke which made nicasia upset.

that is when they full on started harassing them.

at this point cardan cared for nicasia(despite the cheating) which he admitted he hurt jude and taryn for her sake when he was kidnapped by jude,, but as a facade he pretended at wanting to hurt the twins just for funsies.

until he didn’t anymore, and it was fueled by jude’s “audacity” to fight back, and his hatred-desire for her.

meanwhile, valerian was struggling w the same hatred desire. except like 1000x more twisted and sick. bc he truly wanted to hurt and kill her. he is very unseelie.

and nicasia is searching for any opportunity to bring the twins low for taking locke from her.

and locke wants to make a game out of hurting taryn and jude and nicasia AND cardan (LOL) bc he knows that cardan wants jude, so he starts “seeing her” which drives literally everyone; taryn, nicasia, cardan, and perhaps even valerian mad (LOL) bc he’s a cunt

BUT the point i’m trying to make is that cardans friends ARE NOT really his friends bc they all wanna hurt him. intentionally or not. if it sates their desires then they’ll take it.

if cardan had started showing his care for jude.. i mean. it would be over. they already want an excuse to hurt jude as is, cardans just a bonus. and locke was actively already doing that, since he was the only one who had yet realized how cardan felt for her. if nicasia and valerian had realized?

i don’t think jude would’ve survived. but i do think that valerian did sorta know that cardan wanted her, but i think when he realized it was more than lust was when he crashed out and went to kill her.

why? bc, jude had always payed singular attention to cardan when they were harassing jude and taryn as a group, but to jude it was all “i hate cardan i hate cardan” and for cardan it was all “i hate jude i hate jude”

and valerian wanted jude, he wanted her to be as affected by his hurting her as it did when cardan hurt her. but it never did.

i think he realized this and crashed out and got high and tried to kill her.

so in short, i think he threw the salt as a guise to his buddies, to 1, appear as though he didn’t have a heart (like usual) so that they wouldn’t realize he cared for her and hurt her more bc of it, and 2, he knew jude’s blood has salt content, so he could always (and did) resort to that, and 3 bc he thought that he wanted jude hurt and humiliated, but as it was happening, he didn’t like it and began realizing how he truly felt for her

below are holly blacks official annotations, which are canon, so pls read the pen markings!! very important!!

this was SUPER messy i literally just threw this together the second i saw it so i’m sorry! hope this helped tho!! 🫶🫶🫶 feel free to add on!

YANDERE!VALENTINE FAMILY X FEMALE! CHILD READER (platonic)

Description<3: After the incident the House maids servants and others started noticing how the sick servants would feel better after interacting with the young lady, And soon recognize that she has healing powers except everyone has regonized them except the person with them!

Warning:

Author note: YOUR REQUEST IS SO CUTEE? Thank you for requesting again I’m glad u like my writing!! I tried my best to write as specifically as the request I hope you enjoy it sorry for bad grammar! (PT1). (PT2) part 4 will be abt Vincent maybe or I might just end it here lmk

A few weeks in the servants could no longer ignore how helpful you were!,They don’t mean with work or cleaning.

Once came a servant telling the others after talking to you he felt much better!,As he had a fever before and when talking to you,Suddenly it went away a day later.

Which was a miracle of course, But no one believed him.

Then came more and more servants one by one telling the others, That after talking to you they felt much better like they weren’t suffering anymore.

Soon the word spread threw out the entire mansion, Aria of course already knew about it, But sense her sister had come to the mansion she’d been unknowingly heal anyone that’s sick, or injured.

Aria wanted to keep her sister a secret she wanted to lock her away so that she wouldn’t help anyone, It worried her seeing you get tired so often from accidentally healing anyone that touched you or spoke to you, It only happened when you used energy and unfortunately you were very energetic. And it didn’t help that your powers were somehow advanced which meant you can practically do anything!.

Of course the maids around you didn’t want your little head to worry about your power, Your too young!!.

So when you caught wind of the sick grand duchess who probably didn’t have long to live, You wanted to see her. But when you asked about her the maids would brush it off or change the subject, It made you annoyed, “Why can’t I see the duchess” the pink haired girl thought dissatisfied.

This had been the 9th time she asked this week, The servants were slowly losing it with how many times you had asked about her, How did you even find out about her?.

“Hmmm” the girl hummed before standing up and gong to nearest maid and tugging her dress, “Oh! Young lady is there something you need” she smiled when she realized who tugged at her dress, “Yes” the girl answered immediately “How does the duchess look like” She questioned before sitting at the table with a pen and paper waiting for an answer.

The maid sat in front the girl “she has bright red eyes she also has beautiful long black hair” she said as she described the duchess to the girl who was trying to draw her to the best of her abilities.

“The duchess sounds really pretty” She exclaimed with sparkling eyes, “ will she ever get better” she asked with a hint of hope.

She contemplated on telling the girl the truth or lying, While contemplating the maid kept looking at her eyes. They were shining so bright, She felt as if she’d cry if she saw that sparkle die down.

“Of course” she chirped “she’ll get better very very soon” she reassured lying, The girls eyes got even brighter “That means I can see the duchess right?” She stood up and grabbed onto the ledge of the table.

Oh, she never thought about that, “Yes yes of course! You just need to wait for a little while”, The girl pouted she didn’t want to wait but she got an idea! “Okayyyy!” She smiled slightly sad.

After a few nights of planning and thinking, Y/n found out where the duchess’s bedroom is located, She decided to go in the evening because she realized people don’t go there in the evening mostly.

And luckily sense Aria was planning her wedding and the servants were helping her practically you can just sneak in.

Of course that’s what you did!,You snuck into Sabina’s bedroom before noticing a person sleeping which was her, you hurriedly went to her and glanced at her “Ohhh she’s rlly pretty” the girl whispered to herself.

She carefully touched the woman’s hair to look at her face fully, The girl was happy she did this, Of course she hoped she wouldn’t get caught.

“Your really pretty miss” she spoke as if she was awake.

The duchess wasn’t asleep she couldn’t sleep, She did hear sounds of footsteps she did hear the little girls voice, It was sweet, her heart was fluttering with happiness.

She felt as if her condition was getting better really better, as if she just had a fever and nothing more, not like she was on her death bed.

But the duchess wouldn’t dare open her eyes, Of course she heard about the little sister of aria, She never expected her to come in her room though.

She suspected that the reason she felt better was because of the girl in front of her, She knew in a matter of fact.

And a little while she heard the door click which meant she left, The woman quickly opened her eyes and sat upright staring at the door smiling.

After leaving the room, the girl suddenly felt really tired as if she could fall asleep anywhere, she rubbed her eyes and kept on walking till she bumped into someone.

“I see we’re walking without looking anymore huh?” Tristan voiced starring at the girl who didn’t respond but clung onto his leg and fell asleep.

A few seconds later he noticed she wasn’t responding and picked her up, He realized the girl was asleep and was contemplating on bringing her back to her bedroom.

then suddenly he remembered her request a few weeks ago about wanting to meet the duchess, So he did that and took her to the Sabina’s bedroom.

Upon arrival, Sabina already knew who the girl he was holding was.

“I thought I might drop by” he stated before walking closer and sitting on her bed with the pink haired girl still asleep.

“You look much better then a few days ago” he continued realizing her face had a lot more color then before, “Yeah and it’s all thanks to her” she said smiling, glancing at pink haired girl.

“Hm she already visited you then” he starred at the girl.

A little while later the duchess was still in recovery but was in a much better condition then before, After talking y/n finished talking to Aria who was sick she quickly ran out and headed to the dukes office.

Slowly she started to feel really really tired but she promised the duke she’d meet him today.

The girl knocked on the office door before entering, When entering she saw Tristan and Sabina sitting on chairs facing each other with food on the table. She ran and sat next to Tristan , She quickly fell asleep on his arm.

“Hmm who did she heal this time” Sabina questioned before eating the piece of cake in front of her. “Probably Aria” he replied before he smiled softly.

Sabina moved and held the sleeping kid before returning to her seat, “Adorable” she smiled softly while touching her hair.

Tristan smiled even more at the scene, If he could he’d want scenes like this to always be in his life

I'm pretty much in love with your off string au could you ramble more abt it .,. I'd be extremely happy to read it

Im glad you like it and thank you for reminding me that I wrote this, and giving a reason to ramble <3!! Sadly i don't have anything to really add? But I'll say what i kept to myself i guess!

I keep remembering about one of the things ghostlycoze said.

I actually REALLY like this idea. I don't think ALL iterators are gonna have this problem, because not all iterators, i like to think, associate themselves with their puppet? And they are all different. But i love thinking about how some of them look up at the sky, and see endless heavy clouds produced by their still giant, powerful colleagues(family? friends?), while they are here, small, and so vulnerable. I like to think that that the longer they stare at the bottomless, grey sky, the more they can't tear the eyes away. How they feel their new heart beating faster now, and it makes them nauseated and more stuck in this moment – because this heart is beating like a mouse's. So fast, they can feel it, they can hear it, in their neck, in their chest. And it's foreign. The sky is foreign. The choking dampness of the air is foreign, the wet cold soil is foreign. THEY are foreign. Can they be even considered an iterator? How? They are not even the same person, how can they still call themselves an iterator?

What have they done to themselves?

I don't think some iterators even manage to handle this. I think some of them, with no way of returning to a previous live, take an easy way out. Or at least risk it – after all, they don't know what the Cycle thinks of not only iterators, but of an abomination like them.

For some of them this is not freedom. For some of them, freedom is impossible to obtain, even when they have risked it all and threw away everything that made them who they were.

Or maybe, for some of them, at some point – standing in the cold, wet soil, becomes a sort of relieve. Perhaps, for some of them, the damp air and the now rumbling, endless sky, become more welcome. Maybe it's better for them, than what they were before. Maybe they'll get used to this, even if it's so hard it makes their head heavy, and their breath quickened, and even when they are not what they were, and never will be. Maybe as they breath in, they'll be reminded that they are no longer stuck because they've been given no other choice, but they are stuck on their own accord. Maybe that makes them ecstatic. Or, yet again, scared, or regretful. Or guilty. It depends on an individual. But overall, it's hard for all of them. And not all of them can or wants to deal with this.

I also remember I was thinking about «what if Pebbles is saved only in Saint's era?». But the more I thought about it, the more sad and existential I became, and I never got around to drawing anything, because the idea of slowly losing yourself and all your memories terrifies me.

I think, if Pebbles is saved in Saint's time, there is no way to bring him the way as he once was. It's just NO WAY, i can't believe it. His whole body had fucking giant TEARS in it, there wasn't a single place left of him, his neurons are now squashed by 574020 kms of rot, 30942 kms of metal and dead organic and his flesh, and 2933892 kms of snow, he's a home for fauna and flora now. He will never come back. MAYBE some neurons will help?? But i don't think they will, or that they should help as much as they helped Moon.

Pebbles cannot recover fully. Of course, care and patience and not being in his corpse will help, slowly, but still not a whole lot.

I wonder how Moon would feel about him. How everyone would feel. And mainly, how Pebbles would feel.

I already somewhat explored the idea of Pebbles losing his memories. It was an animatic about his life flashing before his eyes, but wrong and twisted, and he can't remember the names of the people he cared about, but he feels guilt and shame, and in the end he gets ascended (right now animatic is abandoned).

But... If he's off string....

Imagine how painful it is to look in the eyes of a person and know that you did something horrible to them, but you can't remember what it was, and you can barely even remember who this person is. All you know is that you love them, and that you have hurt them. How would their forgiveness feel? Would Pebbles feel weird relief? Confusion? Grief? Will it even help?

Will he feel anger and an inexplicable sting of pain when they look at him with pity? How would he feel if he saw people's hope when they think he might remember something, but he just can't?

I already said that "iterator off string is not even the same person", but in the case of Five Pebbles in Saint's time, I think it applies to him even more. He's not the same person even before he gets out.

How would he feel being so small and fragile, but being aware of it, now? How aware is he, really? Has he even agreed to go off string? Could he agree? How would HE feel about the stuff I said earlier? The sky, the snow under his feet, the freezing, biting wind?

I don't like making things all dark and gloomy and no hope FOREVER only SUFFERING though. I think there are ways to help Pebbles and to heal. For all of them, really. Sure, as I said, I like to think there's not much you can do to help FP, but there are ways. And in the end, even though he doesn't have his memories, and he's scared and confused, and he's weak and small, and he's in pain, and he feels cold – he's with people he loves, and who love him. I think it's beautiful. And I think it's an improvement on rotting away in the snow and listening to the same tune until the end of time. And now he gets warm much more often.

–––

That's pretty much it? I didn't think about off string that much. I GUESS there are also some fanfiction i wrote, but ehh + I'm shy about my writing + it's russian and needs translation + it doesn't focus the on a dread of being off-string and all that, so I'm not gonna show that.

A lot of people left really interesting thoughts in tags on this post with nsh though, so I recommend you to check them out, they are lovely <3

[indigo-anonymous]

I’d love to hear which other songs brain rot you for the fic!!

Yippee!! Time for the Splinter Fractures brainrot song list (which is by no means definitive and can be expanded at any time)! Buckle up, because it's gonna be a long post (I'm halfway finishing this in drafts and it's SO LONG already). I want to go over my favourite lyrics for each of them :D

I'll go over the two that were brought up previously first, to get those out of the way. All links lead to YouTube videos of the songs, since I know not everyone has Spotify.

Just A Man from Epic the Musical - Personally I see this as Sinner!Adam singing to Charlie (mayhaps during one of their sessions?) Some of these thoughts on the lyrics aren't specifically Splinter Fractures (that goes for all of them) but in part my own interpretation of (sinner) Adam :)

I look into your eyes and I think back to the son of mine (Abel) You're as old as he was when I left for war (When he was killed by Cain) Will these actions haunt my days? (nightmares eyyy) Every man I've slain Is the price I pay endless pain? Close your eyes, and spare yourself the view How could I hurt you? (Charlie is like the perfect blend of both her parents, both people he loved. This would be less of a question abt the future and more of a "why did I do that?")

I'm just a man, who's trying to go home Even after all the years away from what I've known (he's homesick for Eden, when everything was still good and happy) I'm just a man who's fighting for his life Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife (Beneath everything, he just misses being with the people he cares about)

But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster? When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster? (Everything slowly going wrong, and losing control, to the point where he becomes the monster, the leader of exterminations, killing millions for the protection of heaven.)

I'm just a man... (He needs Charlie to recognise that he's only human. He's not an angel, not someone incredible powerful or untouchable. He's just a man, and he has made a lot of mistakes, because making mistakes is human... But simultaneously, this is regret, and an admittance to himself. He doesn't want to be human. He wishes he was an untouchable angel, but he's not.)

- • -

Monster from Epic the Musical - I've talked about this one in a different post already, so you know the brainrot is reallll. To me this song kind of tells the story of Adam becoming the Lead Exorcist. How he basically gave up his humanity to protect Heaven, both out of a sense of duty and because the people up there (his kids) matter to him and he's afraid of seeing them get hurt.

How has everything been turned against us? How did suffering become so endless? (When they got kicked out of Eden, the rest of their mortal lives was him and Eve against the barren world, nigh endless suffering was their punishment) How am I to reunite with my estranged? (As much as he hates Lilith and Lucifer for abandoning him and making him out to be the villain, he still missed them) Do I need to change? (He believes himself to be the problem)

What if I'm the monster? What if I'm in the wrong? What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along? What if I'm the one who killed you Every time I caved to guilt? (Cain and Abel </3)

The in-between part here is specific examples from Epic, but there's plenty of similar stories to Adam. Was Lilith wrong to take the apple or was she actually being trapped here by the angels? Was Lucifer wrong for choosing her side, or was he just taking care of someone he loved? Were the angels wrong for kicking him and Eve out of Eden, or did they deserve it?

If I became the monster, and threw that guilt away Would that make us stronger? Would it keep our foes at bay? (This is Adam suggesting the exterminations after the initial uprising. He doesn't really want it to happen, but he feels like it's a necessary evil to keep his loved ones safe) If I became the monster to everyone but us And made sure we got home again Who would care if we're unjust? (His reasoning for why the exterminations aren't evil or unjust: they attacked us first, I'm making sure they can't hurt us again. Especially personal in Splinter Fractures because he just had to see Abel die for a second time) If I became the monster...

I actually drew this part because the brainrot was getting to me. I don't love how it turned out but I spent hours making it so I might as well put it here 0_o

Then I'll become the Monster I will deal the blow And I'll become the Monster Like none they've ever known So what if I'm the Monster Lurking deep below? I must become the Monster And then we'll make it home (again, he feels like it's something he has to do to keep people safe. To some degree he blames himself for Eden, and original sin, and this is him taking responsibility for what he believes to be his mistakes. He's aware of how all of Hell will perceive him if he does this, and he chooses to do it anyway)

Don't Save Me by Chxrlotte - Ah yes, a song about giving up, and asking people to just let you drown in your pain. Very much a song of self-loathing which is so Adam to me, especially in Splinter Fractures.

I came from the darkness, hiding on my own Like rain thoughts are harmless, leave me here alone The waking nightmares aren't as bad as dreaming, I suppose (life is a nightmare but the sleeping nightmares are worse)

Maybe I'm wretched and deserve this, I don't know (Adam questioning if maybe he really has been evil all along, it's not like he knows why he's in hell to begin with...) Don't save me, I'm almost glad if this is how I go (Ah... wishing for death... almost)

Look into my eyes And tell me what you see A demon in disguise Pretending to be me (hmmm that mirror scene. Also this is very What Lute Sees and convinces herself to believe. That it's not really him, but rather a demon pretending to be Adam) Bury your surprise And listen carefully He lives inside my mind He'll never let me free (Being trapped by your own thoughts, the insecurities will never leave Adam alone! They'll stick with him forever, buried so deep in his soul that he's unlovable, that everyone leaves, that no matter what anyone says, he's just broken.)

The wasteland never ends and it's killing me Wait and count to ten, but I'll never be Able to live, I can't seem to breathe (just a case of the 'shakes' right? Definitely not a panic attack /s) I'll die fading carefully so don't save me (this whole song is about refusing help, which is exactly what Splinter!Adam did practically every time. He only accepted it when the alternative was living on the streets of Hell and all the horrifying shit that comes with that)

Standing on the edge, it's darker now And it's in my head, I can't hear a sound Facing the storm, I'm cast out at sea I'll drown eventually so don't save me (Adam very much believes that at some point he'll just be kicked out again. That this is all temporary, and eventually he'll drown)

I can't live anymore and I'm the one to blame At night my thoughts, they scare me I can't face another day (I feel like I don't need to repeat myself too much. Blaming himself for things that are, in actuality, not really his fault)

Don't save me I think I'm in hell These walls are talking I can tell I've bathed in fire since I fell Don't leave me on my own (this is right at the start of the fic. He's been in Hell for a while and it has damaged him, he finally reaches out for help for the first time, almost begging Lucifer not to just leave him on his own there, and it kickstarts his way out of his hell-spiral)

- • -

Enemy by Imagine Dragons (solo version) - My favourite on this list, to the point where I want to make an animatic of it so badly but I do not have the time or energy to do so. The lyrics just follow the story of Splinter Fractures so well!!! (I had this one in my brain early, so it's far more focussed on the start of the story)

I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground I'm searching to behold the stories that are told When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned (He wakes up in Hell, and the irony is laughable to everyone who recognises him (just Lucifer at the start, Vaggie and to some degree Charlie later))

Tell you you're the greatest But once you turn, they hate us (this one's all heaven, most evident in Lute and Sera. They tell him he's the best, the first man, absolutely great! ...until he becomes a sinner. Then he's nothing but a lowly demon to them, they treat him with disgust at best, and outright hatred at worse)

Oh, the misery Everybody wants to be my enemy Spare the sympathy (Same as before, asking Lucifer to not leave him there. Asking for the slightest drop of sympathy (he only gets it when he has a panic attack after)) Everybody wants to be my enemy (Everyone in Hell hates him for the exterminations, everyone in Heaven hates him for being a demon now. He's got no allies, only enemies)

Your words up on thе wall as you're prayin' for my fall (every sinner, especially those in the hotel, wanted him dead. They were, in a sense, praying for his fall, and they got it) And the laughter in thе halls and the names that I've been called (I can definitely imagine Adam being insecure enough that he always feels like people are laughing at him and mocking him behind his back)

They say pray it away I swear, that I'll never be a saint, no way (Adam is aware enough of his flaws to know he'll never be good enough to be redeemed into Heaven) A chair in the corner is my place I stay I shake and I think about the powers at play, the powers at play (his deal with Lucifer, knowing that a single wrong move will get him kicked back out onto Hell's streets, it absolutely terrifies him) And the kids in the dark that were doomed from the start The child in the basement, face to the pavement Oh, what a statement, love is embracement Love is a constant, love is a basis (there's a lot of different ways to interpret those last few lines: Adam believing the hotel is doomed (which he does), his feelings on the loss of Abel (twice), the fact that he still loves people, again and again, that he keeps trying even though they always leave him (ouch)) He cannot be, she cannot be, they cannot be changed, but keep on praying (He doesn't believe the hotel will ever truly work. One redeemed sinner is probably a fluke. Sinners can't change and become better... right?)

Goodbye (haha that scene in the lobby of the Heaven Embassy hahahaha... </3)

What Could Have Been by Sting ft. Ray Chen - This one is a lot more recent. Very much focussed around the chapters where they discuss Eden, and the story of Eden in general. It hurts to listen to sometimes, and has made me cry more than once (/pos)

I am the monster you created You ripped out all my parts (Lilith and Lucifer abandoning Adam broke his heart, absolutely shattered him. They are a large part of the why Adam is 'the monster' that everyone sees him as) And worst of all, for me to live, I gotta kill the part of me that saw That I needed you more (His approach to Lilith wanting to leave him was to pretend he didn't want her either. That he didn't care about her or Lucifer, or whatever happened to them)

I hope you know we had everything And you broke me and left these pieces (Them leaving, and especially Lucifer's words about how everyone will pick anyone else than him, definitely broke him to pieces. He was left to put himself back together, but he never truly healed right) I want you to hurt like you hurt me today and I want you to lose like I lose when I play what could have been (His response to Lilith being made infertile may have been harsh, but it was understandably bitter, as a response to the pain they caused him first)

Why don't you love who I am? What we could have been? (Lilith loving Lucifer instead of him, and the two of them choosing to leave together, rather than stay with him. I can imagine it felt to Adam like there was something wrong with him, that he already felt unlovable even before Lucifer rubbed salt in the wound with his later comment/curse)

I am your ghost, a fallen angel (Adam's appearance in Splinter Fractures certainly looks ghostly) You ripped out all my parts I couldn't care what invention you made me 'Cause I, I was meant to be yours (He firmly believed that him and Lilith were meant to be together forever, that's what made her rejection hurt as much as it did. They were literally made for each other, but Lilith still didn't want him)

That's it, that's the list (for now)! This post is so fucking long aaaaaa. I hope you like it anyways, and if you don't go through all of the lyrics that's fine, thanks for asking anyways <3

YOU HAVE NO FUVKJN CLUE WHAT KIND OF SHIT LEONARDO HAMATO DOES TO ME. GODDAMN. theres a reason im obsessed w this boy and those reasons are Many. hes just like every other leo if they got a moment to be a person and it drive me fuckin nuts. bonkers, even. hes still analytical he still cares with all his heart hed still do anything to keep them safe and hell still do it alone he still cares about tradition and the status quo and he refuses to show that he cares both because he doesnt want to break that status quo as hes not the eldest anymore and because he doesnt want to stop being able to be carefree and happy. but hes still made up of a leader (he still wears red beneath his blue, a mask that doesnt hide a thing-and the leader wears red, doesnt he, doesnt he?) and god, hed still do anything to keep them safe. hes still the head, and the legacy, and. karai. you are not alone. and yet, both her and leo, they readily threw themselves into a prison that they thought theyd never escape from. no one is alone. except for them. because they have to, this is their duty, this is their comeuppance, they have to be a hero, they have to be the savior. and leos closeness with karai and. and when they leave karai and then when they leave raph, both times, he has to be dragged away. and he locks himself in a prison dimension. and hes calling casey 'case' by the end of the movie, and his supposed last words to him are to say hes proud. and hes so bright and kind and annoying. and. theres just. god theres so much i could say about leo. i use jokes to cope, with my last breath i told you so, hero moves are totally your style, youve been portal chopped. and he only cries in the prison dimension. the moment that portal opens he stops. and he doesnt say a thing between youve been portal chopped and. and, 'took you guys long enough'. like he knew theyd save him. and mikeys portals were a miracle. and he left a katana there. and its a belief of mine that, afterwards, hes more subdued and careful and out of the way. its not about me. and maybe he pushes that too far. and maybe, hes always worked hard to keep his hurt from them, so they dont have to bother with it. mikey needs more help, donnie is more sickly, raph is trying so hard. that last thought was off the hook idk abt that one yet dont take it too seriously. but anyways i think a lot abt him and caseys relationship too. the gentle carefulness that could bloom there alongside bright burning youth and love and hope. and casey was their final stand, and he did it. and he told him, i dont wanna lose you again. and like..just. leos everything. the masks he hides behind and the person underneath and how its clear he cares and..leo is the soul. mikey is the heart and donnie is the mind and raph is the body and leo is the soul. tuning the background noise and guiding them, quiet or loud, whatever he needs to be. and just..the way he always quietly led them and his smarts and how he got to be someone and how he still tries to throw that away and how clear it is he doesnt care for himself the way he does others and how that reflects in future leo concepts and how much I know he would care for this younger versions of himself and. and how bright he is, how annoying yet loveable and so, so interesting he is. this was so scrambled but idc i love him so much. if you want more of my coherent leo thoughts point a thing out this was summary and i DO have SO many thoughts on the prison dimension as a whole (four poems actually), casey and leos relationship (a whole post and then a much larger section in a doc), the peepaw and leo (again A WHOLE DOC for peepaw concepts), and general analysis on the boy (yet again a whole doc). also sorry if this was a bit much lmao he means a lot 2 me

DHDHDJD HOLY SHIT THIS IS A LOT /POS

LMAOOO WE CAN TELL WHO YA FAVORITE IS /LH BUT THIS IS SO DJJDJFDJDJD SO DETAILED AND JUST ❤️❤️

[nexfarious]

hi! i finished binging dq recently and i wanted to share some of my thoughts bc the brainrot it has given me is literally insane like. You dont understand. i didnt want to put this probably gigantic block of text in the ao3 comments so i figured id send it here so you can decide if you want it posted or not!

back to the topic i need to put thief in a blender (said with as much affection as possible btw). theyre soo painfully realistic and have a very unique perspective on the killing game which isnt rlly explored in fanfics so im eating it up! their talent is so cool and i cant wait to see them use it more later on. i also love how despite their paranoia and distrust they are still. Kind. Like they still reached out to ryouma and it literally saved his life!!!!! btw i think not killing him off in ch2 was a really good writing choice bc i think him dying after That scene with thief would just destroy them entirely -but on the topic of ryouma! im very glad you decided to give more spotlight to characters that werent given much of it in canon (or fanon ngl). him and tsumugi are characters that im rlly interested in but the game straight up gave them next to nothing, which i guess is very usual for danganronpa but yknow. Its still disappointing

thief and saiharas relationship makes me want to use both of them as a chew toy bc theyre so. So!!!!! im literally obsessed w them. we are still pretty early in the killing game but so many of their moments are already rotating in my mind At All Times. from the detective/criminal dynamic, to how much they care abt each other (thief obviously having a soft spot for shu despite not trusting people is soooo cute i need them gone). though that one scene in ch19 (i think?) where its said that their situation wld be considered romantic if it thief didnt have a knife at his throat is Life Changing and ive been thinking abt it so much -the contrast is just so good and the scene itself is so sad. also "Maybe this really was truly Shuichi, another side reflected to all of you, gleaming in the light like shards of a prism. Maybe you couldn’t see all of the sides right now, in this moment, but what you could see was so wonderful, spots danced in the back of your eyes." is such a beautifully written paragraph but the fact that thief thought this in the middle of a trial is so hilarious to me but i still support them. sometimes you really need to admire your Friend in a life or death situation to be able to push through. I get it

ok enough of those two. i love how you take the time to explore thief's relationships w other people as well. the break up scene between them and tsumugi had me blankly staring at my screen for good 30 seconds i think. the brief thief/ouma collab was great as well. i already mentioned ryouma but he is so dear to me head in hands.......cant wait for ch3 to physically beat the shit out of me

i have more thoughts but i also think this is too long already so ill stop it here. anyways i love your writing so much and im looking forward to more of dq! take care of yourself and have a nice day/night!

hi umm . this ask destroyed me emotionally, threw me out the window and then stole my lunch money /pos

this is genuinely so so lovely to read, i can’t believe you would take the time out of your day to come and tell me what you think of my fic,,, that’s so sweet <3

thief is my little freak whom i need to microwave at the highest temperatures. i think a lot of people should be more selfish in the killing game tbh, there’s a lot of characters who are ready to throw away everything for each other, i mean even a lot of the killers have selfless motives (kirumi, kaede) which is totally fine but!!! where my selfish bitches at where are the guys who just want to survive. despite all their paranoia though, they are a good person at heart which is something i’ve always found compelling in writing them.

WHY DIDN’T RYOMA LIVE IN CANON!!! you’re telling me a major theme of the game is overcoming yourself and pushing through despite hopelessness and then you just . kill off the other guy who’s canonically suicidal? it kinda left a bad taste in my mouth tbh. “oh you have nothing left to live for? die” i love ryoma i love mugi (obviously) and they deserve better than what the game gave them

they haven’t had much time for each other because we’re not even halfway through the game but UGH thiefhara means so much to me . thief wants to keep everyone at arm’s length but is actually way too soft to go through with it because there’s a detective with pretty eyes (which is so real btw) . i cant tell you anything about the plot but let it be known that chapter three is gonna have quite a few important moments in their relationship!!!

tbh the knife scene was something i just came up with as i was writing and thought “yeah okay that would be funny” and now people seem to love it,,, good thing i love it too

thief’s friends are so incredibly important to me btw . tsumugi who just wanted to be their friend but was rejected and has turned to angie and tenko, ryoma who still doesn’t have a reason to keep going but wants to try because there is someone who cares enough to reach out, kokichi (derogatory/with love), kaede who betrayed them in thief’s mind and still haunts them - someone who broke their trust after they went out on a line for someone, kaito whom i need thief to spend more time with because honestly he deserves more scenes

i hope chapter three slam dunks you into another dimension anon (said with so much sincerity and love), we got major canon divergence incoming ^-^

ANYWAY !!! don’t ever apologise for sending me your thoughts it’s actively encouraged and motivates me to write!! if you ever have anything more to say you are more than welcome to leave a comment or another ask i promise it makes me giggle and do a little spin in my chair of evil . hope you’re doing well too anon

guys i hate everyone

let me tell u a story… last year or i think 2 years it ago around my birthday i really wanted to get korean corn dogs and asked my friends if they wanted to go and everyone was stating that they were busy but in reality they didn’t want to walk there but everything it’s there birthday I always make sure it’s does ik because for the most part it’s never really special for me. i think u can tell the type of friend i am. i think i show a lot of love to my friends well for the most apart i am human after all but anyways idk if people have read the most recent post but i talked abt this guy who was flirting with me often although he had a gf. ik it’s bad and i understand that but if ur friend was in this situation how would you react? in my case my friends were warning me which is valid but it was literally the last week of high school and i just wanted something to happen. coming for a school where poc is a minority we aren’t always chosen by our white male counterparts and in my case Im not skinny and I don’t really know if im pretty or not. So this seemed like a miracle almost like an opportunity. but the whole entire time my friends were constantly reminding me that i was the one in the wrong and i honestly just wanted support. now fast forward i ended things with him whatever it’s done he fuck a few girls and it honestly made me feel like I was just some random person some object that he just at threw away, but whatever right ig. so I never ended up getting the support I wanted from my friends. One of my “friends” in particular had found out that this guy the guy that has been flirting with me had liked her first and wanted to go out with her instead of me. I didn’t know about this and I was honestly hurt my friend is shorter than men prettier that man skinnier that me it just made me feel like some ugly fat girl who thought they had a chance with a boy. that’s how I felt if ima going to be honest and all this girl could say was how she was the victim and I should apologies to her and I will admit I told her some stuff that I did I fact apologies to her but it was revolved around the same thing the guys that I like always gravitating themselves to her. anyways she is currently now dealing with a hardship of her own as she has to break up with her bf and my friends are comforting her telling that they will be there to support her when she breaks things off with her bf and I can’t help but compare out situations and how differently my friends react. my heart was hurting too but no one seemed to care and I hate that. I think what I really want is validation from my friends to be honest I was really hurt by that whole situation but I guess it was all my gamut after all

ps: the story is long and there are pieces missing maybe im at fault and i need to open my eyes

[coolcatjimmy]

going to rant Abt smth personal

this is just me ranting about something I still think about that happened to me so if you wanna read read if you then don't, also it will prob be long so just as a heads up to anyone who actually reads this

Tw: throw up

So basically I went on a senior trip to an Island and to get to there we went on a boat. The way there was fine but the way back had me fucked up. I was feeling supper sick and two of my friends felt fine and went to explore the boat, I don't fault them for this cuz they had no way of knowing. And my other friend is deathly afraid of throw up so when I told her she went away. And I don't fault her for that either . How ever I'm basically left with two of my closer friends and some other people I consider friends but not as close. (I will be giving them fake names from here on out) so there is Sandy and Mandy, and I have been friends with them for a while sandy more then Mandy, and they had started dating (this is important). So sandy is also feeling sick, so Mandy is obviously taking care of her. And I'm throwing up like a lot, so much that it is coming out of my nose and I threw up like five times and I'm just sick and dying I felt horrible. They don't ask me if I'm ok but whatever they have their own shit going on and because hes fine I ask him if he can get me a napkin to clean myself up a little bit. He goes and gets me the smallest pice of napkin I couldn't even get all the barf in my nose. And I know he could have done better cuz another person found me more and a lot more for that matter but whatever right I can for give him for that. But this is the part that gets me mad is that he goes and ask one of the workers on the boat what to do about the sickness and they say to go on the upper deck. So he takes sandy and leaves me behind without even telling me where they are going. Like he sees I'm vary much sick to and that I need some help. And you can go on to say that he was looking out for his gf but I'm also his friend and he couldn't even ask if I wanted to come along. I didn't think too much about it at the time but the more I think about the more shitty that seems to me I thought I was his friend so why am I being treated like nothing. And that's not even where is ends, because another kid from another school told me that I needed to go outside to get some air so he literally took me by the hips put side to get some air. And to be fair that did help but I got a major panic attack from being alone. I eventually got help from employees and eventually my teacher but that all could have been avoided if my "friend" would have just been there for me. Its been like two weeks since then and I'm still bitter about it. And I seen that he isn't a good friend and I just want to cut him off but he's my friends boyfriend it is that easy getting rid of him. And sometimes I feel bad cuz he's trying to talk to me and I ignore him but the same time I feel like he deserves it. And I don't talk to him about it because our friendship with sandy is rocky because of him and I don't want to add gas to to flame. Not to mention that he is kinda fake that he will say something because he knows it's the right thing to say but not often than not he doesn't mean it. I should be over it and I should just stay his friend but honestly I can't. I don't want to be friends with someone who doesn't care about me and I've never been treated like this before. I just hate him know and I'm stuck with him.

i hate getting on insta gram or what ever and seeing posts from these people who have done such heinous things, acting like they are normal, and just like everyone else, or even better than everyone else. you hurt people! you hurt me!

— diary | p.p

“She’s like a shot of espresso...”

includes: tasm! Peter Parker

summary: you accidentally find Peter Parker’s diary

notes: a request from a lovely anon

I deleted this because there was no interaction on it for like a few hours so I thought my acc was broken and then I was informed that tags weren’t working LOLL. if u want u can read more abt the issue here

ALSO BIG FAT SHOUTOUT TO @scandalous-chaos FOR EDITING ILOVEU

Peter Parker was not the kind of person to have a diary.

Or so you thought.

You had some suspicions he may have one, starting from the time you were helping him organize his room and he was extremely against you sorting through the stack of journals in the corner of his room.

And on top of that, he was overly defensive.

So defensive as in he chucked threw something at your face every single time you even glanced in the general direction of them.

You pointed an accusing finger at him. “Peter, look, we’re best friends, I can handle the truth. Are they porn?”

“No?? What the fu—”

The next time was when you asked to borrow a journal that was on his desk to rip out a piece of scratch paper. He shot a web at the book and slingshotted it back into his grasp right as you laid a single finger on it, sputtering some half-assed excuse like it was ‘Aunt May’s precious recipe book.’

Bullshit.

You could see right through him, but honestly, you could care less. What you did care about was finishing your stupid english final. You reached for another journal but he snatched it away even faster than the first one, much to your displeasure.

“Can I use this one?” You pointed to yet another notebook as he shook his head in disapproval.

Now to a purple one. “This?”

“No.”

“This one?”

“No.”

“What about this one?”

“No.”

“That one?”

“Wait- here, use this.” He digs through the desk drawer that he had already cluttered up again (even though you had reorganized it three days ago), pulling out a stack of post-it notes. He tossed them your way.

You deadpan. “These are post-it notes.”

“Clearly.” He hums, shrugging.

“Neon pink ones.”

“Uh yeah—” He shuffled through more clutter in his desk, “but I have orange or yellow ones too, if you’d like.”

“These are… bright neon pink.”

“Now I’m convinced you’re just stating obvious facts.”

“Peter.”

He turns to face you. “Yes?”

“How the hell am I supposed to turn in a four-paged english essay FOR OUR FINAL on pink post-it notes?”

He shrugged again. “I dunno. Magic maybe?”

The most recent and suspicious time was when he was absolutely flipping his shit when he couldn’t find the navy blue journal he’s been attached at the hip with. Like any normal human, you offered to help him look, but he immediately refused.

“Thank you, and I’m sorry, but no.”

“The hell?” You exclaim, a confused look painting your features. “Why not?”

“Because I said so.”

“You’re aware that normal people accept help when they are offered it?”

“Normal people don’t have superpowers.”

You roll your eyes, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge he was right. “You know you’re gonna have a better chance of finding it if you let somebody help.”

“Obviously, but I just can’t.”

“Why not?” You question, your previously concerned expression slowly morphing into an irritated one. “You’ve literally been carrying that journal with you for the past month which means it obviously has some kind of value to you, and by extension to me. Not to mention you’ve just been super secretive about it.”

He sighs, obviously feeling guilty about his erratic behavior. “I know, and I’m sorry for being an ass about it but—”

“Peter??”

Aunt May opened his bedroom door, placing some cookies on the desk and she used her other hand to signal to Peter to follow her. “Aw honey, it’s good to see you again! I didn’t even notice you were here!”

You offered a small, yet kind smile. “Hey Aunt May! Yeah, Pete and I have been busy with finals so we haven’t been able to hangout like we normally do.”

“I’m glad you’re able to get some free time and destress from all the studying though.” She said, before she tugged on Peter’s sleeve to regain his attention. “Peter, come on. I need your help fixing something.”

He sighs, stepping over all the piles of mess he created in his frantic search to find his journal. Right before he exited the room he turned to you with a stern glare.

“Promise me you won’t go looking for it?”

You nod. “I pinky promise.”

Obviously as the amazing best friend you are, as soon as you’re out of his sight you set out to go and find the secret notebook.

And did you successfully find it???

Nope!! plus he caught u snooping around

lmfao loser

Rightfully so, all these events have been leading up to this one moment you’ve been waiting for.

The seemingly lost journal was not really lost at all.

He had left it in your room when he had come over the day before.

Admittedly, the overwhelming urge to snoop through it had obviously crossed your mind more than a few times. Who wouldn’t be curious about the journal he held in such a secretive light?

You picked up the journal that he laid on the edge of your bed, flipping to the cover and rationalizing your actions to see if the journal was yours or his.

First page was scribbled in deep red ink that wrote, ‘PETER PARKER’S DIARY #5. IF LOST PLEASE RETURN AND DO NOT READ UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.”

DIARY???

“This thing was a diary??” Your jaw drops in surprise, not expecting the true nature of the notebook to be a diary out of all things. Of course you had your suspicions, but Peter never seemed to be the kind of sentimental guy who wrote out his feelings.

And this was his fifth one???

There were more??

There was little to no self control within your body at this point, the curiosity flowing through you clouding any rational judgment you had.

You flipped through the pages, most were actually filled with pictures he had taken and drawings, a few pages written down here and there. One section had specifically caught your attention.

There was a neon pink post-it note bookmark that had your name scribbled on it.

You assumed it would’ve been more collages of photos of the both of you as the previous pages were, but boy you were wrong.

Very wrong.

Heat creeped up on your cheeks as you were completely frozen in shock for the second time that night. You read his familiar chicken scratch over and over.

She’s like a shot of espresso. She’s like being bathed in sunlight. She's incredibly energetic, enthusiastic and has this sense of play and fun which is incredibly exciting. She’s the light and love of my life. I’ve been in love with her since we’ve met and I always will be, but she doesn’t know and I don’t know how to tell her.

You’re speechless.

It’s probably about time you grew a pair and figured out how to confess your love for him as well.

But little do you know, he may or may not have purposefully planted that diary in your room so he didn’t need to make the first move.

Guess you’ll never know.

[stanmammon]

Since it's almost Halloween.. Mc and Solomon tell diavolo abt costume parties.. the brothers tho some of them deny it want to do couple costumes with mc, but mc already has a partner.

Can I request headcanons of diavolo, lucifer, mammon,asmo and Simon reacting to Solomon dressed as a priest and mc dressed as a nun?

(I’m gonna assume MC isn’t romantically involved with Solomon and that the demons/Simeon have a thing for them

had way too much fun with this)

Asmodeus: 

Asmodeus’ eyes light up as he sees your costume, telling you that you look absolutely delightful and that Solomon was the perfect person to be a priest (as Asmo himself didn’t know if he would ever wear a priest’s costume for the fun of it). As you’re together on the dance floor Asmo can’t keep his hands off you, even if the costume told him that you were off-limits; it only made him want you more, taking great pride in tempting those who lived a holy life to come to the dark side, just for a little. He whispered in your ear that you were clearly a sinful little thing, that he wanted to defile you if you’d just give him one chance to show you true pleasure, an almost innocent smile on his face as he made promises he would be sure to keep.

Diavolo: 

Diavolo can’t hide his amusement at your costume, wondering if you informing him of costume parties in the human world was all a ploy to tease him with this holy image. The demon king and a nun in this odd relationship tango you had with him? He doesn’t have as much time to attend to you as he’d like since he’s throwing the party, constantly talking to a variety of guests, some who share his amusement at your costume (and some who wish to consume you for daring to bring a cross anywhere near them). There’s no actual blessing to be found on your costume and your behavior is anything but celibate, sending flirty glances across the room whenever you happen to catch his eye. There’s a building excitement in his gut, the previous disappointment he felt at not getting to match with you erased completely by his lust.

Lucifer: 

Lucifer thought the costume party was a hassle at first, it made an extra set of work for him as he had to help Diavolo set everything up. He barely had a chance to breathe at the party and once he did, you instantly seemed to steal his breath away with your costume. He thought it was rather fitting that Solomon dress up as something potentially incendiary but to bring you down with him, well, that was interesting. There were an unfortunate number of thoughts running through Lucifer’s head that he preferred to keep to himself, at least until after the party was over and he could properly act on his feelings. He drifted to you randomly during the night, tugging at your skirt in secret, mumbling under his breath that he’d see how much your holy vows meant to you later that night.

Mammon: 

Mammon doesn’t care how good you look he’s annoyed that Solomon is using your matching costumes as an excuse to stay close to you all night. He’s filled with bitterness as he can’t even talk to you in peace without Solomon butting in, having to sneakily snatch you away when Solomon’s back is turned to get a moment alone. You’re mildly panicked that your costume had caused some rebellion among the demons but you’re relieved upon seeing Mammon, hands resting on his chest as you tell him not to be so rough with you. He rolled his eyes at that, asking if you were gonna ask your precious God to protect you, reminding you that you’re the one who threw yourself into a pile of demons while wearing something clearly meant to tempt them. When you ask if he’s tempted he feels his heart start to race, licking his lips as he wondered how long he’d be able to have his way with you before Solomon interrupted.

Simeon: 

Simeon is... conflicted. Nuns are well-respected among angels and while he’s not some stiff who can’t have fun while in the Devildom, he doesn’t know how he feels about seeing you dressed up as a nun. He does know that he wants to steal you away from Solomon, requesting a moment alone with you to the sorcerer directly who doesn’t seem to mind at all. Simeon knows it’s likely that Solomon planned for this, that he knew Simeon might have some sort of reaction to it, but he doesn’t dwell on that long when you’re finally in front of him alone. He has to tell you how beautiful you look as you’re always looking beautiful, almost ethereal at this point, playfully stroking your cheek as he asked if you knew what you were doing to him. There were a lot of different things about your relationship that made him feel conflicted and it seemed you existed only to cause him to second-guess all his actions but he didn’t necessarily see that as a bad thing. Loving you had been the most fun he had in years and he leaves you with one last compliment and a promise, one that would have you calling out his name rather than Gods. 

[crossdressingdeath]

I don't understand the argument that Lan Clan is somehow bad for WWX because they took part in the siege and then saying that WWX would have much better with JC in Lotus Pier...Like what??? Are we talking abt same grape, the one that literally LEAD said siege, the one that tried SO HARD to backstab his"brother"? Or some other character? Beside didn't text explicitly tell us that siege would have happened even if Lans and Nies weren't there?

Well, I don't think it's explicitly said that it would've happened without the Lans and Nies, but it is made clear that the Jins and Jiangs were very much the ones running the show and things like how they dumped all the Wen bodies in the blood pool instead of just leaving them where they fell or disposing of them in the proper manner (I don't know what that would involve in fantasy ancient China but I suspect pools of blood are not part of it) suggest to me that they were very much trying to hide who exactly they'd been killing from their allies; if they just didn't care they could've just left the bodies, and if they wanted them disposed of in a world where corpses can in fact come back I'd expect them to do it properly.

And yeah, it's always like... "The Lan clan, the only clan with members who tried to help WWX, is bad for him because they took part in the siege! He should return to the guy who convinced all the sects the Wen remnants were an army and WWX was planning to take over the world in order to raise an army to go murder him for absolutely no reason, not even personal benefit! That's better for him!"

That's always the thing that gets me. I can understand JGS and JGY needing the Wens dead to cover up what they'd been doing in the labour camps, and I can understand NMJ and LXC not challenging the insistence of their two fellow great sect leaders (either because they trusted them or—and more likely—to avoid causing fights among the sects so soon after a massive war), but JC? He gained nothing from the Wens' deaths. He lost his greatest asset with WWX. Odds are a good number of his cultivators died during the various fights; no matter how careful WWX tried to be about not murdering anyone from the sect most to blame for what was happening to him, with him losing control and also fighting for his life and the lives of the people under his care he wouldn't be able to prioritize not killing JC's thugs. Sure, JC got a reputation boost, but he pissed it down the drain immediately by becoming a serial killer. So the absolute best-case scenario for JC's actions re the Wen remnants and WWX is that he thought a boost to his reputation was worth the deaths of fifty innocent people and someone he grew up with and who had always served him faithfully (until he decided to fulfill JC's life debt when JC refused to...), a boost that he then threw away the moment he decided that he wanted to kill people more than he wanted to be popular. And of course worst-case is... it was pure spite. WWX decided that saving lives was more important than being JC's pet demonic cultivator, and JC was like "Fine, then you can die" and deliberately caused his death as "punishment" for his refusal to do whatever JC wanted. There's no way for JC to come out of this looking good. Hell, I don't think there's a way for him to come out of this looking not bad; remember, the best-case scenario is that he was so monumentally selfish that he decided 51 lives were an acceptable price to boost his reputation. Meanwhile the worst you can say of the Lans is that they didn't properly investigate JGS and JC's claims; that's a problem, sure, but that doesn't make them responsible. Certainly not as responsible for JC... the person the stans insist WWX should go to instead of the Lans... because the Lans played a part in the siege... because JC said the Wens were an army...

Yeah, the people making this argument seem to have missed a few salient points in the whole situation.

could u write smth for Loki being a soft dom with a flat chested reader whose insecure abt her chest? (smut or fluff idm!) sorry if u dont like writing stuff like this <3

Note: you’re like my very first request and you made me so HAPPY and of course I can write this! Writing about insecurities is completely fine with me! I did a bit of smut and fluff in there, hope you like it 🤍🤍🤍

Dating Loki and being insecure about your flat chest includes:

First off loki by far is the sweetest most patient person you’ve ever met

Never has he pressured you into anything you seemed remotely uncomfortable with

Always made sure you were ok with anything new

You didn’t exactly have sex right away and started with some kinky stuff instead

He tied you up, which was fine

As along as your clothes were on, you felt alright

But that still didn’t change the feeling you got whenever you saw other women doing the same stuff as you and look just…better

Thoughts would go in and out of your head when you looked in the mirror

You thought that maybe if your chest was a bit bigger you’ll look more feminine or sexy in a way

Loki didn’t pin point it until the day you were suppose to have sex

You had promised yourself you could do this

He was gentle and soft, kissing you and running his hands all over your body

Then he tried to lift your shirt

That’s when it hit you

You pushed away so quickly, heart rate speeding up

He was alarmed and asked you to say your safe word

The second you did, he threw a big blanket over you then brought you to his chest

"If you were not ready, you shouldn’t have said you were"

It took you a while to let it out but you tried your best to explain how you felt about your chest

He was shocked to say the least

"Silly girl, why would I care about that…I’m attracted to you for you, and that means every part of you, small or big as long as it’s you I’ll spoil you with all the love I have"

You didn’t have sex right away but he scolded yet again to not hide things like this about and tried something else

"Could I take your top off please?"

You let this time

You faced the mirror shirtless

Cool air hardening your nipples and him standing right behind you

"When I look in this reflection I see the most beautiful creature and I want to touch that beautiful being, starting from here"

His long fingers would over your shoulders relaxing your body with each touch, until he ran his hands over your chest

Touched your sensitive nipples and licked his lips

"Can I try something else?"

You agree

He takes you to the bed and lays you down, towering over you with large built

His lips place butterfly kisses from bottom of your stomach to your chest

He then warps them around one of them and starts sucking with twisting the other with his other hand

It goes like that until you beg him to fuck you already

"Anything for my angel"

You do have sex and it’s so fucking good

You also learn that he’s a safe place and you should always tell him if you had doubts about anything between you two

And most importantly, When Loki falls in love he falls HARD

It does not matter what you look like, he will enjoy the living crap out of your body

ok no but I'm shaking bc eddie has never seen buck freak out abt his before (assuming he hasn't seen the footage of the well) and so like,,,,it's gonna affect him so deeply. obviously he knows buck cares about him, they're best friends and partners how could he not know, but I don't think he's aware of,,,how deep it runs or how devoted buck is. and so now I'm thinking abt eddie getting out of it safe, and buck practically sprinting up to him and hugging him so tight eddie can't breathe and saying "if you ever pull that again I'm never speaking to you, you scared the hell out of me" or smthg and then eddie thinks abt how buck was screaming his name and can't breathe for a totally different reason. bc he knows buck cares, and that it's in buck's nature to care deeply for people, but he's never seen it towards himself, just other people and I just,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,smthg abt eddie realizing buck cares just as deeply abt him as he does abt buck is,,,,it's gonna destroy me

okay. okay listen. eddie knows that buck loves him, but in the ranking of people who buck loves, eddie definitely sees maddie as the number one person buck loves above all else. maddie practically raised him, and she's loved him her whole life. and then eddie saw how absolutely wrecked buck was when maddie was kidnapped. how completely reckless and lacking in any self-preservation, and he probably thought "that is what buck looks like when he's completely destroyed"

and then the tsunami happened. and when eddie saw buck at the field hospital, he could immediately tell that something was wrong, and not just because buck was bloody, and muddy, and there, when he was supposed to be somewhere warm and dry with chris. buck's whole demeanour, how he was talking to eddie, how he couldn't get the words out to tell eddie what had happened, was absolutey devastated--not because chris is eddie's son, but because buck and chris have their own relationship independent of eddie. and so in eddie's mind, chris is higher up than him on buck's ranking of people he loves.

so then, the well collapses. and everyone knows how buck screamed in absolute anguish, how he threw himself to the ground, how he wanted to dig through forty feet of dirt and mud and earth by hand to get to eddie. but eddie doesn't know. doesn't know how quiet and stoic and not really there buck was, until he saw eddie again. all eddie knows is the smile that plastered itself across his best friend's face upon seeing him. all eddie knows is that hysterical laugh that escaped from buck when he saw him. all eddie knows is how tightly buck held onto him.

and then eddie gets shot. he's there, he sees buck, but i don't think he really saw him. because no matter how long he stared, how he reached for buck, i don't think he really processed what buck's reaction meant. or if he did, he didn't fully understand it. because when maddie was kidnapped, he didn't stop moving until he found her again. when chris was swept away in the tsunami, he searched for him until his body gave out. when eddie got trapped in the well, buck threw himself on the ground and clawed at the earth.

but eddie gets shot, and buck is frozen. buck cannot move to even get himself to safety, let alone eddie. and when he can finally process what has happened, he crawls under a ladder truck, he crawls toward gunfire, to get eddie, all the while calling to him, voice hoarse and absolutely devastated.

still, eddie doesn't know. eddie sees buck covered in blood, and asks if he's hurt, and then he falls unconscious. and eddie doesn't know. eddie doesn't know how his death would be the one thing that would change buck beyond recognition.

but eddie being taken hostage, being held at gunpoint, where he is still conscious, and aware. when he can hear the anguish in buck's voice, when he can see buck trying to get to him, no matter the risk to himself. that is when he'll see (or start to see) just how deeply buck loves him, how much buck would do for him, the absolute devotion buck has for eddie.

so, when eddie finally gets free, when they can finally reach each other again, eddie is pulling buck in just as tightly. because now? now, he knows
