So few people know this, but whenever Ensha has to report to Gideon ...

... he will discreetly stand on some books to appear just a little bit taller.

For two people that broke up almost 2000 years ago, they sure do have the vibe of that insanely toxic couple on your college campus that you keep getting second-hand embarrassment from as you pass by. Idk what the modern equivalent of drowning your ex in a bathtub would be tho.

one of my favorite things about the dbd show (though this is the fandom a lot too) is it saw the yaoi tropes of feminine character x masculine character and putting them into strict gender roles and said what if we flipped that on it’s head? Yeah sure Charles is the brawn but Edwin went thru 70 years in hell he’s no wimp. And yeah Charles is more physical and all but he never gets all macho toxic about it, and he’s allowed to break down, he’s allowed to cry. and the fandom responded so well in kind! One of my major gripes with some fandoms is that it tends to place very heteronormative roles upon a same sex couple. (esp when its mlm though that might just be me not being in as many wlw fandoms). But there’s pretty much none of that here, both characters are allowed to have depth and be emotional. Idk it’s just kinda nice.

And I saw another beast come up out of the earth...and he spake as a dragon. (Revelation 13:11)

The Coronation of His Majesty King Bastian I - The Hour of Wolves

When he was born he was a small thing. A screaming infant, a second son, destined perhaps for military greatness, but never dukedom. Never inheritance. Never conquest.

But at the inception of the light, the birth of the world, the moment between silence and splendor when The Glory breathed across the scope of creation: he was no small thing then.

Even then, he was coming.

His rise runs with blood: knives in the back, poison, betrayal, kidnapping and vengeance.

His rise burns with greatness: glory, family, rescue, love and ferocity.

The secret world recognized him before he knew himself. A fairy witch marked his passing and offered her slender wrist for his talons. A dead sun opens its mouth for him, a vanished Christ is his counterpart, a death knight worships before him, a raven-haired little girl holds the hand of her doting and beloved father.

The world we know calls him king of France, the monarch of a seized throne, a general who has promised the great lords England on its knees.

The Devil, in his own tongue, may call him son. The Glory has said nothing.

Would you know him if you saw him? Would you recognize what he is?

Bow, while you consider, and kiss his ring. There is a crown of flame upon his brow.

your honor, i know they've never interacted in canon, but the truth is that they're actually really close and are great friends. I rest my case.

Ty to @loneycorner for introducing me and subsequently making me fall down face first in love with this rarepair

Rewatching Civil Defense- The Cardassians were ready to abandon an entire station if a single group of Bajoran works escaped. Also, they immediately assumed it was a station-wide, pre-planned rebellion. Like, they definitely had faster, probably easier options than running away and gassing an entire station, right? Right?

(The alternative is to conclude that it really was easier for them to kill everyone and come back later, with more Bajoran workers. This is incredibly dark and makes me want to cry, so I’m going with the funny version, because otherwise this episode is completely horrifying)

inspired by a certain post in the proship tag i just wanna say this before i go back into my little hole:

i think discussions on how shipcourse has become very overblown are very important but i think just as important as discussions that shipcourse has become way bigger and more concerning than needed are discussions of why shipcourse has become the beast it is today, is there anything we can do to…not make shipcourse as big as it is, and is shipcourse a possible precursor to real world issues such as censorship of fictional media?

idk…i just don’t think saying “shipcourse is dumb and has hurt people” is really enough to unpack the actual damage shipcourse has and may continue to do.

"Who's idea was it to put the cone on your head for the parade? Was that all you?" "Zach Eisenberg [Director, Executive Operations]—I think is his name—he takes care of us a lot at Amerant Bank Arena. I don't know his exact role with the team but he's just kind-of always around, and helps us out. He's friends with Brooks [Koepka.] I think he helps Brooks when he comes to the games. Anyways he found a pylon or I think I might have told him—I was pretty drunk at the time but I think I told him to go get a py—'if you could find a pylon, find one!' 'Cuz they sprung that speech on me, kind-of, last second, you know, five minutes before I was supposed to go up there. I'm like, 'What the fuck am I gonna say?' So I had him go grab the pylon and I grabbed it on the side of the stage right before I was gonna do my speech. And luckily all the clips are of that, you know, me telling him to go fuck himself... 'cuz the rest of my speech was terrible. There's really nothing to it! And I'm so happy that, you know, all the clips are only of that so!" "Yeah, we didn't know you said anything else! I thought that was the entire speech!" "That's all that matters!" "Exactly, exactly! I got away with it there!"

i love finding out they basically told ekky he was gonna have to do a whole speech 5 minutes before he was up while hes been drenched from rainwater and alcohol for like the past 6 hours absolutely pissed out of his mind like yeah no wonder his speech basically culminated to THANK YOU SOUTH FLORIDA AND ALSO GIVE IT UP FOR MY D PARTNER WOOOOO yeah that tracks

"But what golf tournament* were you at shortly after that? Somebody was dressed like a cone? Was that Lomberg who was dressed in like a costume? A cone costume?" "He came—Brooks came up to you—" "No, that was his buddy, that was his buddy. He was actually a Sunrise police officer. I actually saw him last night at the Zach Bryan concert! But yeah, no, that's one of his buddies. No, he was completely put to bed the day after. Right? Like he texted me—I personally didn't care, like, how many people at a hockey game are calling me a cone and telling Barkov he's got no hands like it's—you know, that's hockey. That's sports, right? So I didn't give a shit but—yeah, no, it was all in good fun. And then I got a way to get him back! It's perfect!" "But when you did see the first video of him in the box—and I remember watching that, I'm like, 'this motherfucker is rolling esctasy!' His eyes were fuckin' gigantic, he's like, 'Aaargghh.' Like, 'I can't take him, he's calling me a cone! I can't—' But that is kind-of odd that a professional athlete is gonna call you a cone and he's like a fan of yours...it's just—it was really bizarre!" "Goofy!" "Yeah..." "And his eyes were black which, you know..." "What does that mean?" "I just know what that means... and he was fucked up, you know..." "Yeah, yeah! He was definitely fucked up and he agreed that he was fucked up. And he apologised so I didn't care, obviously. And then when I was at that golf event I should've thrown a beer at his backswing or something—at the LIV event when he was actually competing? I should've fucked with him but I couldn't do it... I couldn't—I couldn't find the courage to throw something at him..." "So did he reach out to you like that night? And say, 'Hey, dude... I was just joking, you know...'" "'I took some pills and...'"

*2023 LIV Golf Team Championship (Miami) held from Oct. 20-22 in Doral

[and i suppose more context here lombo and koepka are friends and he even showed up to his cupday when he went golfing in parkland and not to mention that lombo facilitated koepka apologising to ekky so its why the whole cone costume came to be really]

theres a lot more context about this incident and the ensuing storm after it so for archival sakes here are articles about it (x)(x)(x)(x)(x) because its quite a saga but its water under the bridge and there's only so much tabloid-esque coverage thats been reignited after the ekky speech i can take about an athlete who's dumb enough to insult another guy while hes drunk off as his ass in a fucking public setting

but anyways i think its really funny that i said to myself wow thats an oddly petty thing to admit to you know the whole wanting to throw a beer at his backswing ekky... for such a good vibes sweet man who like the only thing youve particularly said about the cone novella is "we'll never be buddies" to which you quickly retracted and then went "holding ill will against somebody and pulling negativity in your body is never a good thing"

and then i remembered who he attended the liv event with and it all made sense

behind every aqua whos being a little mean there is a much worse much more evil looming presence who is encouraging them down this dark path (a gem but especially a june gem)

truly a tale as old as time

the REAL question is if I do another hurt/comfort fic with halsin will it be too repetitive?? and will everyone on the internet hate me and want me dead

Imo the team fucked up big time and they should’ve just pitted Oscar first to begin with.. lando definitely would’ve given Oscar the place but he thought Oscar would be catching him quicker than he did so when he didn’t I think he was fair to argue it at the start, but I do think he should’ve still given Oscar the place back a lot sooner than he did.

tedbecca-wise, what i want from our remaining episodes more than anything is for ted and rebecca to just get to have a good time together. have a lot of fun! feel seen and cared for! they’ve both been dealing with such loneliness and pain and disappointment and i just want them to get to absolutely roll around in the joy of each other’s company!!! (maybe literally, absolutely metaphorically.)

Episode 8 I am so scared....

[iron-mage]

wheres all the fanfiction about the droids in star wars im fucking dying over here

like what droid culture 👀 there's gotta be like a bunch of Manumission'd droids running around & given that they'll be chucked out of most places (think episode 4 we don't serve your kind here, tho given the clone wars i could see that being a more recent development since that conflict would have definitely raised anti droid sentiment) theres gotta be like droid enclaves on most of the large city worlds

gimmie a story about a droid enclave on Coruscant opening themselves up to the clones because hey if the meatbags are going to call & treat them like flesh droids then the least they can do is offer a bit of solidarity

gimmie a story about the droids teaching clones how to Manumission (in the legends section of the wiki that's what removing a droids obedience protocols is called) the B1s, gimmie em realising they're all in the same boat as it were, there's so many stories particularly on Tumblr of the clones freeing themselves, let's not leave out that other slave army too
