#shapeshifter arc is sooooo good

[c-tepx]

ok so despite the obvious "kabru is so obsessed and yet laios can't even remember his face" and "of course laios would recognise the kobold of all party"

SPOILERS FOR SHAPESHIFTER CHAPTERS

laios is the one who had the closest to the original mental image of his companions. he doesn't have any racial prejudice or some sort of expectation. he sees them as it is

like the only thing he got wrong are some minor details in equipment or hairstyle

he is also the only one who doesn't see chilchuck as a kid

quite similar chilchuck at least got laios general appearance right. it's just the more.. unhinged version of him.

my point is. laios is observant when it comes to the things he cares about

I’m about 10 chapters into a Tamlin healing/redemption arc (he has to work, but he gets one) that I’m going to post on Ao3 in a few days. It’ll be called “A Court of Healing and Shifting” if you're interested :). I’m hoping to address: why Feyre's destruction of the spring court was a war crime, Tamlin's abuse of Lucien, the origin of Tam's shapeshifting/why his magic is so hard for him to control, the Illyrian NC revolution and a… migration… and why Rhysand is a horrible person.

I AM NOW INVESTED🔥🙏

Absolutely someone needs to tell that girl, YES GIRL, that she literally displaced thousands of Fae. And probably is the direct cause of a bunch of their deaths. Her destruction of the Spring Court is literally what left the Summer Court vunerable to Hybern in the first place. So now she's indirectly the cause of EVEN MORE suffering and death, etc. etc. Not to mention, for Tamlin to be "Showing His True Colors", she sure did have to engineer and concoct,,,,literally every single one of those scenarios.

Not to mention he was being manipulated by Ianthe the whole time, like yes he's highlord, but he's also suffering from severe trauma and PTSD and here comes this(I'm gonna say it) Rhysand-esque woman from one of the other territories that's apparently an agent of the goddess. And she's telling his THIS is what's going to help you heal. THIS is what you need to do, it's your choice of course highlord, but THIS will return the strength to your court. THIS will return your agency. THIS will set you free from the things that haunt you and these people.

And instead of like, having a single critical thought, Feyre's like 'i would feel good if he suffered even more so let's do that' and Rhys is like 'hell yuh babe ur a strong powerful woman. commit war crimes.'

?????????the fuck??????

And that's not all to say that Tamlin is perfect and never did any wrong, because he STILL DID those things. He was still AWFUL to Lucien. (Which again, where did that come from because in the first book, I would go as far as to say they were more brothers than Cassian and Azriel and Rhysand)

It's just like.... : //// Maybe the whole world isn't about you Feyre, and maybe he's not this bad awful disgusting person who's out to get you and snuff out your light. He's doing what he's being told a highlord is SUPPOSED to do, no one else has ever trained him for this position. No one else has ever given him pointers or aid before Ianthe came along. OF COURSE he's vulnerable to her lies. Cause he can't even recognize that they're lies, that's what manipulative people do.

Not to mention Feyre is sooooo upset in the second book that Tamlin doesn't bother to ask her what's wrong and coddle her emotional state, but never once does she try to communicate with him? Like? He's not a mind reader girl, that's Mister Crazy who literally threatened to melt your mind into liquid not even a year ago.

Who you're about to run off with.

Intriguing.

Anyway, I digress.

I have to say I'm very very VERY interested in an Illyrian revolution (I refuse to believe Rhys can't help those girls. He just thinks if he washes his hands of them then....idk really. But that's why he sends Cas and Az to the villages to deal with them and never goes himself. You can't convince me otherwise. Half the Illyrians probably don't even know what their highlord looks like. Their highlord who is ONE OF THEM. Supposedly.) and also in the source of Tamlin's power. Ive never thought about the source of their powers before, specifically Tamlins. But actually, It's v interesting that his powers are...whatever exactly they are because almost all the other highlords powers seem to correspond in some way with their court, but I'm not sure how Tamlins associate with his at all.

Anyway anyway anyway sorry im ranting. I'm excited to read this now, that's all.

And please just drag Rhys. Like grab this man(male, sorry🤢🤮) by his hair and drag him right thru that mud Feyre left him in when she found out they were mates.

Literally everything he does except for that library is awful from anyone's POV but Feyre's. He's just so horrid.

10 + 10

I realised after I had posted this that I did it on a reblog that was already pretty long... so I have now done a separate post to try and make it smaller! Sorry! 

I was tagged twice to do this and was writing out my answers when Coop tagged me AGAIN!! So I am sorry to all of you, this is long and you're going to learn more about me than you probably wanted to!!

Answer 10 questions then add 10 of your own: 

@lucynnamonroll thank you for the first Tag flower!

1. A dream that you still remember?

I dreamt once that someone was chasing me and my dog and they bit me, took a big chunk out of my arm. And then my dog gave me this big blue fruit and my arm grew back. My dreams are always very strange.

2. What job did you want to do when you were younger?

I wanted to be a vet but I am way too emotional around poorly animals and also not smart enough to learn how to treat them haha!

3. And now? Did it has changed?

Yeah, I don't think I was ever cut out to be a vet. I'd like to work with animals though, maybe kennels or something? Zoo Keeper would be cool.

4. A favorite game?

I'm gonna take this as video game... There are a lot. I love Mass Effect and Dragon age, Gears of War... but Horizon Zero Dawn was amazing. I loved every single thing about it. Beautiful game, great story – just.. chefs kiss

5. Where did you have traveled? (Either it’s in your country or not)

I've been a few places- France, Spain, Somewhere else hot but I can't recall where... Ireland, Scotland. I was supposed to have gone to Bulgaria at the beginning of May but Coronavirus done fucked me over.

6. Did you have a totem animal/a favorite animal?

Ever since I was about 6 wolves have been my favourite animals. I originally started drawing so I could create a wolf fursona …. siiigghhh

7. Did you/Do you have a teddy bear to help you to sleep? How it was looking?

Yes, a little dog called Custard. He is a beige colour with brown ears but is still in pretty good condition. He sits on my desk chair when I'm not using it.

8. THE animated (or not) serie of your childhood/teenage years?

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES – heroes in a half shell, turtle power!! I was also hella into Dragon Ball Z on Toonami when I was a kid. I remember we went to see some family up north and they didn't have Toonami and I cried because it was mid way through the Buu arc and I was gonna miss it.

9. Do you have anime/series/movie/whatever things merch?

I have a few bits. A Hatake Kakashi figure, one for Katakuri and Zoro. A heart Pirates hoodie. I think I have Kid's wanted poster somewhere...

10. How was your day?

Oh. It was a day. I slept through most of it. My energy/motivation levels are pretty low at the moment. But it was sunny, so that was nice.

@luffytarhoe thank you for my second tag!! 💙

1- What’s your favorite show/anime of the moment ?

I don't watch a huge amount of anime despite the focus of this blog. So probably One piece on that front. Otherwise I am watching Outlander atm, which is pretty good but there is sooooo much sex. An ungodly amount of sex.

2- What type of music are you into?

My music tastes are quite varied. I like stuff that you can listen to and put into a situation, so usually sad stuff where I can imagine I am the main character weeping over the bodies of my fallen comrades. Also Goo Goo Dolls!

3- If you could have one superpower , what would it be ?

Probability, or luck. Like Domino in Deadpool. That's always been such a cool concept to me.

4- What’s your favorite color ?

Blue and all it's hues. Maybe teal if I had to get specific.

5- Do you prefer animated or live action shows/series ?

I am happy with both. Though some animated shows should stay animated – looking at you ATLA...

6- Do you believe in ghosts ?

I believe that energy never disappears, only changes forms and I don't think that's any different for whatever happens to people energy once we die. I'm a big wimp though so it's easier for me not to believe in them!

7- Do you speak any foreign language(s) ? if yes which ones ?

No, sadly I never had a talent for languages. I'd love to speak Gaelic though.

8- Your n°1 fictional character ?

Probably Stone from the Raksura book series. He's just a fun grumpy old shapeshifting man.

9- Would you say you’re more of an extrovert or an introvert?

Definitely an introvert. I like me time. And all my hobbies are single person hobbies so that doesn't help haha.

10- What was the best vacation you ever took and why?

I haven't been on holiday in over 10 years but we went to a zoo in Spain once and a Monkey sat on my head. That was pretty rad.

@doctorgerth and finally, thank you for my 3rd tag!!

1. What are your zodiac signs (sun, moon, rising, if you know them) and do you think they fit you pretty well?

I am an Aries and that is pretty much the extent of my knowledge on the subject. Aries are meant to be pretty hot headed and outgoing and I can only really claim to be one of those thing and only when I need to be. So no, I'm not sure it fits me.

2. What is your favorite clothing item and/or accessory?

I don't reallllly care a lot about clothes and or stuff. So I guess either my glasses because I need them to see long distances (and to drive) or my phone if that counts as an accessory because that has all my crap on it.

3. Any future children or pet names?

Noooooooooooooo and no

4. If you could meet anyone (can be past, present, future, real, or fictional) who would it be?

I would have liked to have met Steve Irwin I think. He seemed pretty chill and I grew up watching Crocodile Hunter on TV so he was a big hero of mine for a long time. Also the Rock or Jason Mamoa because of reasons....

5. Brag on yourself! What’s something you love about yourself?

I am passably amusing and guess I write okay too haha

6. What is a movie or show that you could rewatch a million times and never get tired of?

The film Evolution is endlessly funny to me and it makes me laugh every time I watch it. I used to have it on VHS and I kept a video player in the house to watch it until my cousin got it for me on DVD (Yes I am old.)

7. What is your favorite album of all time?

I haven't listened to it in a long time but I really loved Maroon 5 – Songs about Jane.

8. Do you believe in ghosts and/or aliens? If you have stories to back up, plz share.

I want to belllieeveeeeee! Ghosts, yes, hesitantly but I think I answered that in a previous one. Aliens 100% because I refuse to believe that we are the only sentient life the universe. It's just... statistically impossible.

9. What do you do/who do you look to for inspiration?

I guess human being wise my mum is my inspiration for a lot of things? She's just a lovely person and she's very kind and sweet. I am very aware that we are not much alike, but I look to her as the sort of example of a good person. Creativity wise it's just a clusterfuck of books and badly organised pinterest boards.

10. What is your happiest memory?

Practically anything that has my nephews in it I guess. They're just... hilariously weird little dudes and I love them so much. They always make me laugh.

And here are my questions!!

1. What is your favourite book?

2. What is you most loved item and why?

3. If you got the chance to travel to another planet (knowing you would never see your friends or family again) would you do it?

4. One song that makes you cry?

5. Do you believe in supernatural stuff? Ghosts and Monsters and Fairies? Any experiences with it?

6. What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever witnessed or had happen to you?

7. What one thing would you buy if you had the money?

8. What is your worst habit/personality trait?

9. If you could alter your body with one cool feature, what would it be? (camera eyes, monkey tail, etc)

10. Do you have the patience to play a full game of Monopoly with no breaks?

I'll tag @pinkhatlizzy @nakunakunomi @lirulee @one-piece-dumpster-fire and anyone else who wants to answer my dumb questions!! Tag me because if you decide to do it so I can see your answers 💙

@feynites replied to your post “so last night i was revisiting the idea of inanallas as the lavellan...”

I mean at least if she goes back as a baby then she gets her entire body rebuilt and loses ALL modifications (bye tattoos, bye magic bomb innards). But if she goes back as-is it's gonna be like fenris' issues there but nine billion times worse.

yeah if she’s a baby we’re FINE tho now we have an opportunity for a power set like the one in the arranged marriage au (namely terrifying shapeshifting) alongside any of her original methods she revives so that’s......... low key Terrifying but at least less IMMEDIATELY VOLATILE AND DANGEROUS SOOOO

It’s that as-is scenerio that’s the real kicker and the reason i’ve generally scrapped ideas for her post-trespasser self ending up in a LG su type sitch bc it’s just a fuck fest from day 1 of magical problems thanks to her abilities, like she’d PROBABLY (like definitely ) accidentally kill the healer working on her if they tried to do things like restore her eye/arm like the do in LG just from lashing out involuntarily and not having that same internal sense of proportion anymore. Which u know wouldn’t put her on good footing w/ ppl whooooooopppppssss. I’ve also generally scrapped her for that idea bc she DOES drink from the well of sorrows and that would make things complicated plotwise since while she’s wwwwaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy more willing to dish 2 mythal a lot more than i think most others would she’s got noooooooo interest in being her actual servant guy dude sooooo. that’s still the thing i’m trying to find a useable handwave for orz

Inan: *explodes and becomes a god*

ngl this is an incredibly accurate synopsis of how i’ve felt her character arc in like Most Verses has been going
