#please just let him live

[tecnestheim962]

Guys…

I just finished rereading the little prince…

I’m scared…

Vacuo… the desert… returning to his rose… ruby and the ever after… THE SNAKE… THE MERGE

I’m going to lose it in V10 I just know it

Foggy waves back to Everett, but is apparently too off put by something to smile.

*So there are three kinds of people, apparently.

*Really not liking that second kind. Cruz, got an answer for them?

*Very.

*Astounding response. Truly unpredictable.

*Really, who ever could’ve guessed that’d be his answer?

*We have much to think about.

Was practicing poses but it turned into a desperate beg for certain demon cat to not kill him

SV fic where Luo Bingge discovers that Shen Jiu had a long-lost half-brother or something, and subsequently decides that he's going to infiltrate the minor sect which this "Shen Yuan" belongs to in order to get close to him and then indulge in revenge fantasy 2.0 when it inevitably turns out that Shen Yuan is like Shen Jiu (i.e. a horrible abusive scum teacher).

So Bingge uses some magical object or technique or other, makes himself look like a scrawny 12-14 year old, then puts himself in Shen Yuan's path in hopes of convincing the man to take him on as a disciple. The idea being that after Shen Yuan abuses him, Bingge will be justified in reenacting his Shen Qingqiu Revenge Arc again and maybe finally feeling some closure about the whole thing.

Yes, this is a very deranged plan. No, no one is going to tell the emperor of the three realms that. Bingge also wants it to be clear that this has nothing whatsoever to do with his recent escapade in an alternate universe, except that he was inspired to find Shen Jiu's relative as a consequence of that. But he's absolutely sure that this guy is going to turn out just as rotten as his brother, given the opportunity. That is definitely the only reason he is doing this!

Flash forward about four years. Bingge's retainers are begging on their knees for him to actually come back and do some administrative work. The harem is running itself at this point and they're all very terrified of the situation with Liu Mingyan and Sha Hualing (i.e. ruling with lesbian iron fists) and whatever the heck Ning Yingying is up to (no one is certain but it's something). The outer provinces are rebelling. Mobei Jun's somehow found another weird human surnamed Shang to cavort with, except this one is basically running admin for the entire northern kingdom now and no one's even sure if they're fucking or if it's some kind of mind control situation or what.

Bingge is annoyed. He doesn't have a good explanation for why a bunch of demon lords would be showing up on the doorstep of Tiny Cultivation Sect to beg him for anything. They're going to spoil his cover! And they're interrupting his schedule! It's already four o'clock and he hasn't started on Shizun's dinner yet! Shoo! Get lost!

Anyway, eventually some of his demon followers get desperate and dramatically kidnap him. Shen Yuan is horrified and grieved when it seems that his precious disciple, so like white lotus Luo Binghe from the novel, has been captured by demons. He tries to track the assailants down, but they've covered their tracks too well. In the end, there's only one path left to him to pursue: taking this matter to the protagonist!

Yes, the protagonist! Because the thing is, Shen Yuan noticed the similarities between his disciple and the book character he so admired. Not only that, but he did manage to glimpse Bingge one time from afar. It wasn't anywhere near to a real interaction, but it was enough for him to notice the strong resemblance between the protagonist and the mistreated little lamb who showed up at his doorstep. A resemblance for which there can only be one explanation:

Shen Yuan's disciple is one of Binghe's kids!

Yes, he had it figured out since fairly early on. Not only was there a resemblance, and not only were their dispositions quite similar, but also the boy showed a lot of signs of some demonic heritage. Shen Yuan was just working up to broaching the subject, partly because he had been trying to avoid any direct or even indirect interactions with the emperor, and partly because he... became somewhat reluctant to part ways with his student. Sue him! He got attached! And anyway, he knew how missing child plots usually went. There was probably someone in the harem who was out for his disciple's blood, and it wouldn't be safe to send him back into that mess until he was strong enough to look after himself.

But as is inevitable, the plot seems to have reclaimed Shen Yuan's student all on its own.

He just... needs to make sure that it isn't a tragic outcome. It seems it falls on him to make the emperor aware of his son's survival, and subsequent peril, and help launch a rescue!

Which also means approaching Luo Binghe in person, which he knows is very risky indeed, due to his connection to the infamous Shen Qingqiu! He'd been avoiding the protagonist at all costs for that exact reason.

But if it's his only hope of rescuing his disciple, he will simply have to take the risk, and hope that enough time has passed that Luo Binghe doesn't read too much into a shared surname and a passing resemblance. Or that restoring the emperor's long-lost son to him will be worth seem lenience for the crime of being connected to Shen Qingqiu. Maybe if he's lucky, he will even be allowed to continue visiting his disciple! (Ha, yeah right! More likely, Luo Binghe's going to take his head for hiding his own kid from him for so long!)

Anyway, cue Luo Bingge running around swapping between his Emperor and Disciple forms, dramatically trying to orchestrate a situation where he can fake the emperor's death and go back to the sect with Shizun as his disciple, or something, only for it all to blow up in his face because Shen Yuan keeps flinging himself between Bingge and potentially fatal threats that could plausibly kill him???

PRAYER CIRCLE THIS MEANS ADAR IN S3!!!!

Here's the interview with Sam where he mentions nonchalantly a possible return! @toddthekiwibird I don't know if this is the exact interview you just saw, but here he talks about speaking black speech and maybe using headphones for reference "next year". 🤷‍♀️

Qui-Gon's the type of guy to eat something he's deathly allergic to because c'mon it's been 10 years! surely he's over it now! and is shocked. shocked I tell you, by what happens next.

Qui-Gon: The healers say I can't eat this but last time I checked I'm the one with mastery over the living force

Obi-Wan: ...please, do go on

Qui-Gon: See! nothing ha-kjjmjdcsb *wheezing noises*

Obi-Wan, epipen already in hand: Must we do this every time Master?

Do you think Tabi knew what was happening? Could she hear it? Faint through walls of brick and stone, muffled voices, something that sounded like a scream but it came so often that that couldn't be it. When the few times the door opened and she was given food could she hear what they were saying, "this is what a hero does. You're the Chosen One. You're saving us" followed by something that was barely even a scream anymore, instead the sound of a sword and some cut off gurgle. Did she realize that there was only one possible person who it could be in there? That could return and do it all over again? Did she deny it at first? And when Evbo finally got her, covered in a million cuts and scars, bags under his eyes, what did she think? What could she think? What could she say? Nothing. Nothing would make up for what he's done for her. So the best she can do is pretend like this is normal, and follow him.

she said ENOUGH

Tma rant :D

An underrated part of Jon's character development through the season imo, is him learning to be himself.

In s1 he's the least himself because he's insecure about his position as head archivist, and he wants to look professional to his peers.

In s2 he becomes incredibly paranoid but he also starts to loosen up to Martin a little more, definitely after Martin confessed to lying in his cv.

In s3 Jon shows the most of himself when he's with Georgie, and right before the ritual of the unknowing when he's making his last statement on tape before they leave. He does however retreat back to "boss mode" more around the rest because they're not comfortable around him.

S4 is when Jon finally allows himself to accept his affection towards other people. He becomes very open about how much he cares for Martin, and he's willing to show way more vulnerability than before. He also creates a bond with Daisy after saving her from the coffin. Jon starts showing a very empathetic side of him while defending Daisy from Basira's remarks.

S5 is when Jon finally just completely drops the act and lets him be himself. Surprisingly, even though they're in the apocalypse, this is the season where Jon seems to be the most comfortable. He's got Martin, the one person he knows will always love him, so he doesn't need to be "professional" or "respectable" anymore. He can say I love you to Martin, he is okay with admitting he's upset, he makes jokes, sometimes he's annoying on purpose just because. The only time Jon hides behind his facade a little again, is when they're in the tunnels discussing what they're going to do because just for a short while, things go back to how they were before with people pointing fingers at him. All the lovey dovey stuff, the jokes and remarks and attitude, that's the real Jon. Compare him to how he was in s1 and they seem like two completely different people.

one day the world will realise that tom riddle is not a hypersexual sex god who calls you “doll” upon your first meeting and is instead quite literally a try hard NERD who most likely spent most of his time finishing his homework and then doing more academic research for “fun” and then i will be the happiest person in the world.

headcanon that the reason sophie still has eyelashes to pull on the regular is that grady and edaline worked something out with the dizznees to get a tasteless formula to help eyelash growth specifically to put drops of in her bottles of youth. because there’s no way her ptsd-induced trichotillomania (oversimplified definition for those who aren’t familiar: hair pulling disorder) is gonna die down during the war, so they’re trying to make sure she doesn’t move from eyelashes to eyebrows or her Hair hair by giving her More Eyelashes
