All I'm saying: I'm crying. I'm a mess. I blame Liam O'Brien and Laura Bailey. I can't believe we have to wait a week.

Kingdom Hearts Union χ - Daybreak Town

[starry-bi-sky]

im on my hadestown bullshit again but im also still on my SVSSS bullshit too so au where Shen Yuan gets transmigrated into a nameless NPC sometime after Bingge merges the realms and becomes the demonic emperor over like, basically everyone. And Shen Yuan manages to become an immortal cultivator and has a few years to himself to explore the world he's in, conveniently avoiding Bingge the whole time. Until eventually Shen Yuan joins what is essentially a traveling theater group.

They all love the strange stories he tells, ones he claimed he learned from far away places, and eventually ask him to write one as a play so that they can share it with the world. He does one better and writes a musical and slightly xianxia-izes Hadestown so it fits with the times better.

Eventually they learn everything, the music is st up, their lines learned, and the group rents out some kind of low-class stage for a night in a town that's neither too big nor too small. One that Bingge is conveniently passing through.

The actor for Orpheus falls 'sick' the opening night, and Shen Yuan gets convinced into taking the role by his. He has the prettiest voice, and he knows Orpheus' lines and character the best! Shen Yuan agrees.

Bingge attends that night too, and sits in the far back, in a seat where nobody can see him that well.

There is nothing to prepare him for the Tale of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Not the actor, who looks distressingly, uncannily similar to Shen Qingqiu, from the sharp curve of his jaw to the sound of his voice. It's Shen Yuan's saving grace that he has just enough differences that Bingge doesn't fly to his feet immediately.

Not the character Orpheus either. Who shares a distressingly similar worldview to the one Bingge once had a long, long time ago. A young man, a boy really, with so much hope for the world around him to near the point of naivety. Who believes that there is still good in the world and the people around him.

There's nothing to prepare him for Epic III. A song the lone Orpheus sings to convince Hades to let him and Eurydice go, one that rends Bingge of his flesh and leaves him feeling raw and wanting.

Suddenly he's no longer watching the stage; he's on it, standing in Hades' place, jaded and bitter and cold and reigning over all. Having become cruel like Shen Qingqiu once was. He stands in Hades' place, tall and imposing and powerful.

And there is a shadow of the past sitting at his feet. A boy in love with the world looking up at him, stripping him down to his soul, and asking him where he's been. Bingge stands in Hades' place, and just like that, becomes a man again.

im OBSESSED with this au and my brain decided to make this— what if prowl was just shoved far far deep into his own processor and locked in? So he can’t control his own frame, his mind, he can only watch as this person, this imposter, controls his frame and has no thoughts of its own. He has to watch as slowly, Jazz gives up on him and leaves even when he’s screaming for Jazz to not go, to not give up on him, but it only echos in the emptiness he’s trapped in

Empurata! Prowl au by @keferon <3

That "least favorite companion" post I referenced earlier today keeps haunting me.

Because... well, it was obvious that many would say Oghren. I expected many to have said Oghren.

But it still makes me a little bit sad just how much of Oghren's depth and potential was lost by him being written as a "comic relief" character that both fell flat, and aged poorly.

I remember, the first time I played Origins when I was like 17-18, I was a bit put off by him immediately: he reminded me of people I knew in real life, and were not people I liked, or was proud to know. I was a little disappointed that I'd have to have him in my party for the last part of "Paragon of Her Kind". But that short little scene, where he first steps out under the open sky...

That scene, I still think about regularly.

The moment he casts off his caste, the last thing he still genuinely had. When he first looks up at the sky, and realizes just how vast and open it is. When he takes that step he knows would mean that he can never go back.

That tiny little scene, less than a minute long, made not just him, but my own Aeducan click for me immediately.

Because Oghren is a clear failure of the caste system. Or better said, a failure of dwarven society, really.

He's a castoff, a reject, a lost cause: a once respected warrior, a famed dwarven berserker and husband to a Paragon, who fell through the cracks because he fell out of his house's favor.

Because he got hit hard by his wife and his whole family leaving him behind. Because he got too hard to deal with, too embarrassing.

So under the carpet he went, in both his own mind and everyone else's.

Oghren's, is... an ordinary tragedy. A story of an everyday struggle for men like him (lonely, middle aged, depressed), with feelings that are quietly shoved to the side, joked about, tamped down by both him, and the people around him- and him not being “likeable”, well... isn't that just the way it usually is? People who are suffering are sometimes genuinely not good people.

And despite his best efforts, I can't bring myself to dislike him. I don't like having him in my party because I don't find him funny like he was clearly intended to be, and a lot of his dialogue, I find deeply frustrating and off-putting (in Origins and Awakening alike), but... I can't bring myself to dislike him.

I just... feel sad for him, more than anything else. Because in a few rare moments, there is loyalty. There's honor. Care. Sadness. Even humor when it's allowed to be there, beneath the very 2009 "sexual harassment is totally funny you guys".

There is a lot to talk about regarding Oghren, starting with mental health, and ending with the typical dwarven mentality being to cut ties with what they perceive to be lost causes (which also goes for Kal-Sharok, really), but... I can't shake this feeling that had he been written a few years later, with a touch slightly more careful than the ones with which he was originally handled, he could have been so much more.

..... Though I suppose there's some poetic irony in how the character who was let down by his people would also be one that was let down by his time.

Celebration time 🎉

Happy 100 followers everyone! Thank you all for following my silly side blog, and for enjoying my work! To celebrate, I made a lil quiz to match you with one of the housewardens. Originally I wanted to do all characters but that would be a humongous task, so if this one does well, I might do a vice-house warden one later on.

Happy quizzing!

The SCJW ship is so delicious. Both of them have feelings for each other, but neither will confess coz in Jeongwoo's mind *Sangcheol can’t forget his late wife*, while initially Sangcheol's conscience won't let him *in his mind Jeongwoo will say yes if he asked coz he feels grateful for everything Sangcheol is doing for him* SC won't want to take advantage of that. Then when he feels like that might not be the case and steels his resolve to ask he thinks Jeongwoo is getting close to Haseol.

When Jeongwoo first visits Sangcheol’s house and sees the wedding photos, he’s probably shocked to realize Sangcheol was married. So, he tries to test the waters by asking, “Did you leave your wife in Seoul?”only to find out she died on their wedding day. Suddenly, all of Sangcheol’s disdain towards criminals made sense, and Jeongwoo realizes he really hasn’t forgotten her.

On the other hand, Sangcheol had been attracted to Jeongwoo from the first moment he saw him, but he treated him poorly due to his misunderstanding. Then he felt guilty and couldn’t approach him for a long time. However, during their cohabitation, he noticed Jeongwoo’s affection towards him and began to openly care for him, worrying about him freely and even downloading couple apps.

When Jeongwoo asked about Sangcheol's late wife, he thought the moment had finally come and candidly shared his feelings, which allowed Sangcheol to feel liberated from his past. And he started envisioning a future with Jeongwoo in it.

After the case is resolved and the retrial concluded, Jeongwoo thought his connection with Sangcheol was over. As a final gesture, he called him "hyung" pouring all his affection and love in the single word and embraced Sangcheol. On the other hand when Jeongwoo hugged him, Sangcheol became certain that the feelings were mutual and decided to ask Jeongwoo after he is settled well in Seoul.

After that, however, Jungwoo begins to maintain a strange distance, leaving Sangcheol feeling confused. And one day Jeongwoo tells Sangcheol that he has enrolled in the same medical school as Ha Seol, Sangcheol thinks Jeongwoo and Haseol are getting close. He takes a step back and decides to take his feelings and bury them somewhere deep. (Noh Sangcheol you idiot)

In conclusion they will keep pining over each other for months... And....
