hang on, hold on, now I'm really in my feelings about Harding for a moment
like ever since I heard that conversation where Lucanis (very insightful tbh, short king to short queen I guess) points out that having been a tiny dwarf girl raised among the big, intimidating, human Fereldan farmers probably impacted Lace's personality more than she realizes (beyond making her adaptable and capable, it also seems to have made her... kind of malleable, unwilling to rock the boat, people-pleasing, more limestone than granite), I already haven't been able to quite shake that thought. But her being so startlingly low on that recent "who's your favorite character" poll I reblogged... it really drove that point all the way home.
a core characteristic of Lace Harding seems to be that she always tries, and tries, and tries, to be liked- she tries to always be kind, and compassionate, and caring, and sweet to everyone, and it works! everyone likes her! people like being around her, both inside and out the narrative!
... but she's very few people's favorite.
it's a really interesting take on pleasantness being a shield (honestly kind of a very accurate, but subtle expansion on her character in Inquisition, when she was just... Nice and Capable Little Lace Harding and Little Else) and even her story, while it's about her own repressed feelings (literally fighting a physical manifestation of her rage, and sorrow, and pain, is. wow you don't get more clear a metaphor than that, the metaphor is literally punching you in the face on that one), it's still not about herself- or not only herself, but all of the dwarven people, all that was taken from them, all their rage, and sorrow, and pain, condensed into her tiny little body....
there is definitely more to expand on this, and I'll probably get more into it in subsequent playthroughs, but for now, I'm finding it really interesting how Lace Harding is almost an afterthought in her own life, purposefully made a footnote in her own narrative, and that in itself serves to color it in further. she lives in the silences between the titan's heartbeats.
truly the fucking textbook interpretation of an eldest daughter of all the dwarven people, and I'm fucking emotional as fuck about her right now

Logan doesn't have to say anything to Laura. She's intelligent enough to realise that she's going to have two dads to love and protect her from now on. The smile on her face says everything about how she feels about her new family.

rewatched the ronin and the bride again and my heart literally ACHES for mizu. she was genuinely happy and in love..... her giddy laugh when she goes horse riding for the first time, the way her eyes light up when she sees mikio trying to tame kai for the first time, her little shy enamored smile when mikio is explaining the benefits of using a naginata right before the spar that changes everything.... GOD.......

I'm sure many have said this, but it always makes me weak to think that Feanor, brilliant and tragic High Prince, the most beautiful of the Noldor, the master of language and smithwork, the greatest mind the Noldor have ever seen, falls in love - still young - with Nerdanel, who is great in her field and as keen as him, but is a normal girl, not nobleborn, not even considered pretty, but he loves her and values her. They travel together, they share the same passions, he loves her for her mind, her hunger for knowledge, her strength. He found his match in her, although she was also different - calmer, gentler, wiser.
Feanor's descent starts when he turns away from her counsel, when the first cracks in their marriage appear, and she is not swayed by him, she knows he is wrong and she holds her ground.
This is not in the published Silm and it's just a version of the story, but Feanor's words to her - were she a true wife - tell me of someone who is incredibly bitter and angry that their wife has left him when he thought she should have followed them. Despite the long estrangement, he still expected her to follow him. He managed to move an entire kingdom, but not his own wife.
How strong she must have been to survive the grief.

I would find Blondie Lockes very annoying in real life, but I love her in fiction. She's a genuinely good journalist in terms of both skill and ethical integrity, who only occasionally forgets to check the facts because she's fifteen and holds herself accountable when she does. She has incredibly high standards for everything and believes herself to be the ultimate authority on quality. She has magical lockpicking powers because her fairytale is about Goldilocks breaking into a house. She somehow completely ignores the story's moral that Goldilocks was wrong to break into the house, feels entitled to go wherever and help herself to whatever she's able to and cannot comprehend why people dislike this. She's been terrorizing an anthropomorphic bear family with her cheerful disrespect for privacy and is convinced that they love her. She has a non-anthropomorphic pet baby bear. Her motivation is dependence on external approval rooted in deeply internalized classism. She's desperate to be useful and important to those with higher social status and feels the need to lie that her family is technically royalty to fit in with her royal friends, even though they treat commoners like equals all the time. She positions herself as a conduit of true greatness; closer to it than the masses, but never the hero, always reporting on other people and evaluating what they've done. Because what she's done isn't enough to be worthwhile. What she is isn't enough. But this performative lifestyle makes her anxious about being judged as a fraud and an interloper, and ashamed of selfishly transgressing against social norms. Her microphone head looks like an adorable little bear head. That's one hex of a character alright.

what was the point of lila thinking home was a feeling she didn't deserve and could never earn until she found diego. what was the point of them finding deep, meaningful love in each other. what was the point of lila opening her heart and confessing that all she really wanted was a family with him.
what was the point of developing diego and lila over two seasons, creating such a beautiful, chaotic bond, just to destroy it for no reason.

Confessions
Steddie || ~2.3k words || rating: T || tags: post vecna, references to stancy, angst and fluff, robin buckley just being herself
~~~
Eddie and Robin were just finishing filling the snack bowls and mixing drinks when they heard a knock at the door. Itā€™s a Friday nightā€“ and not what Eddie would consider a late hourā€“but they werenā€™t expecting anyone to join their weekly movie night at Steveā€™s.Ā 
He glances at Robin who shrugs, shaking her head. As he rounds the kitchen counter towards the foyer, Steveā€™s voice carries down the hallway.
ā€œNance?ā€ He sounds surprised too.
ā€œSteve, Iā€™m sorry I know itā€™s late, but Iā€™ve been meaning to talk to you and I canā€™t wait anymore,ā€ she says. Eddie canā€™t see her, but she sounds anxious.Ā 
ā€œThis canā€™t be good,ā€ Robin huffs. He agrees, if the sinking pit in his stomach is any indicator.
ā€œLook, Nance, nowā€™s not reallyā€“ā€
ā€œSteve,ā€ she barrels over him, sounding desperate. ā€œIā€™ve been an idiot trying to convince myself that I havenā€™t missed you since we broke upā€“ and before you say it, this isnā€™t because Jonathan left after we closed the last gate. When we were stuck there with Robin and Eddie, the way you looked at me was how Iā€™ve always hoped someone would love me. You looked at me like I was everything to you, like you could look at me forever and never get tired of it. I feel wanted, and loved, and safe when Iā€™m around you.ā€ She takes a deep, steadying breath before pressing on.
ā€œLast time, when we were together, I took all of my grief and anger out on you. I blamed you forĀ  what happened to Barb because I couldnā€™t face it myself and I knew you loved me enough to hold the weight, and I resented you for it. You wouldnā€™t stand up to me, and I resented you because you loved me anyway.ā€ Eddie can hear Nancy sniffling, small sobs carrying down the hallway. ā€œYou loved me at my worst, and you didnā€™t deserve that. Youā€™re amazing, and strong, and kind and everything I could ever ask for.
ā€œSteve, what you said in the Winnebago, I just, I canā€™t stop thinking about you. About usā€
The silence that follows is stifling and Eddie feels bile climbing up his throat. Arms wrap around his shoulders as Robin tucks her head into his neck. Only a small comfort while months of gentle moments with Steve flash behind his eyes: soft hands brushing his curls, stolen glances, lingering touches, and warm smiles. Now Eddieā€™s forced to stand vigil as itā€™s all washed away by Nancy's whispered pleas.
ā€œNance, pleaseā€“ā€
A spark of hope after a late night confession weeks agoā€“ swiftly blown away.
ā€œSteve Harrington, I loā€“ā€
ā€œNancy,ā€ Steve interrupts, his tone firm yet soft around the edges, ā€œIā€™m in love with someone else.ā€
Robin gasps into his neck. Her arms around his shoulders squeeze tight, anchoring him to reality in the wake of Steveā€™s confession. His chest is so full he canā€™t breathe.Ā 
ā€œOh,ā€ Nancy whispers before another, deeper sob leaves her breathless. He never thought heā€™d hear Nancy Wheeler cry. Even though theyā€™re apparently both in love with the same man, heā€™s grown close with her too and canā€™t help the urge to comfort her. Eddieā€™s grown to love everyone in his new found family. But Nancy is right.Ā 
ā€œYeah Nance, Iā€™m sorry. And theyā€™re kind of here right now, so,ā€ he says gently.
Steve Harrington is everything.Ā 
And theyā€™re kind of here right nowā€¦
Hope flames in his chest, blooming with warmth. Eddie doesnā€™t hear the conversation end over the buzzing in his own head and Robinā€™s frantic giggling until they hear the click of the front door and Steveā€™s footsteps coming towards them.
ā€œOh.ā€
Steveā€™s standing in front of them, wide-eyed like a deer in headlights. Eddieā€™s realizing he and Robin maybe shouldā€™ve hid before Steve rounded the corner to find them eavesdropping.Ā 
ā€œSo,ā€ Steve stammers, a fierce rouge burning his ears, ā€œhow much of that did you hear, exactly?ā€
Robin quickly stands, clearing her throat before Eddie can think of an answer. ā€œIs that the microwave? Did anyone else hear the microwave ding? I think the popcorn is done, so I can go check that right now. Yeah, right now. Iā€™ll just, umm, be in the kitchen checking the popcorn. For the movie.ā€
She practically sprints down the hall, and although she wasnā€™t subtle, Eddieā€™s still thankful for the privacy. Steveā€™s shaking his head with a small smile on his face.
ā€œEverything,ā€ Eddie answers. ā€œWe heard everything.ā€
ā€œOh,ā€ Steve says again. He sounds anxious and unsure, something Eddieā€™s compelled to fix, because all he wants in this world is for Steve Harrington to be happy.
ā€œItā€™s ok.ā€ He takes Steveā€™s hands in his own, tracing his thumb lightly over his knuckles. ā€œWe wonā€™t say anything to her about it, and we wonā€™t tell anyone what she said. Nancyā€™s in safe hands with us. Mumā€™s the word!ā€ And as Eddie mimes zippering up his mouth, he hopes that Steve wonā€™t take the easy way out. That he wonā€™t use the life-raft Eddieā€™s just thrown in his direction to keep him from drowning.Ā 
ā€œRight,ā€ Steve says. He runs a hand through his hair, biting his lip as he gazes at the floor between them. The silence as Eddie waits for Steveā€™s next words grows long and tense. He canā€™t hear any movement in the kitchen, making him more anxious now that he knows Robinā€™s listening. Which, heā€™d be a hypocrite to be mad about.
Maybe he has this all wrong. Maybe Steve just needed a way to get her to leave, so he lied about having a date over. Maybe he didnā€™t know what to say, and just said the first thing to pop into his head. Maybe itā€™s got nothing to do with Eddie at all.Ā 
Eddie realizes heā€™s still holding Steveā€™s hands, his grip tightening the longer he spirals. If it hurts, Steve hasnā€™t said anything. But when Eddie looks at his face, he seems dazed and lost in thought. As fast as if heā€™d been burned, Eddie drops Steveā€™s hands and takes a step backward.
ā€œSo,ā€ Eddie stammers, voice shaking, ā€œIā€™m going to go help Birdie with the popcorn. You want to get another movie started?ā€
Hands still frozen in the air, Steve finally lets his clenched fists fall to his sides. Eddie can see the whites of his knuckles. He hears Steve sigh, exhausted and frustrated, but Steveā€™s nodding with furrowed brows and taking a step backward towards the living roomā€“ away from Eddie. Too far to reach out to.
Turning away, Eddieā€™s in the middle of forming an escape attempt when he opens the kitchen door to immediately be swept up in Robinā€™s arms. Of course sheā€™d been listening. Heā€™s grateful for it, now that he doesnā€™t have to explain himself. As he buries his face into her neck, he finds a wet patch and wonders what kind of accident she got into while prepping snacks. Itā€™s not until she starts gently shushing him that he realizes heā€™s crying, tears soaking into her shirt.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s gonna be ok, teddy bear,ā€ she says, running her hand through his curls, ā€œheā€™ll get there, I promise. Heā€™s working on it, you know that.ā€
He nods. He does know that. Steveā€™s been out to Robin for a few months, but only to Eddie for a few weeks. He deserves the space to figure it out, and the grace of those around him to do so at his own pace. Still, Eddie canā€™t help his growing impatience alongside the increasing severity of his crush. At least Robinā€™s here to support the both of them.
The two of them finish gathering the snacks in silence. She was full of awkward jokes to try to lighten the mood, but when it was clear Eddie was stuck in his head, sheā€™d stopped. He feels bad about it. Heā€™ll make it up to her later, plus he knows sheā€™s not upset with him. Eddie suspects theyā€™ll be getting together sometime tomorrow to rehash everything thatā€™s happenedā€“ after sheā€™s finished consoling Steve, of course.
When they leave the kitchen, Eddieā€™s surprised to find Steve exactly where heā€™d left him. Heā€™s standing frozen in the hallway, lip pulled between his teeth and hands still clenched. But when he lifts his gaze to meet Eddieā€™s, thereā€™s resolve behind his eyes.
ā€œEddie,ā€ Steve says, ā€œI think Iā€™m falling in love with you.ā€
ā€œOh my god! Finally!ā€
Eddie jumps violently at Robinā€™s shouting, almost directly into his ear. Sheā€™s flushed red with embarrassment decorated with a manic grin so wide he wonders if itā€™ll just keep stretching like taffy. Thereā€™s popcorn poured out onto the floor from where she clearly threw her hands up in excited exasperation. He watches as her eyes grow wide, her smile morphing into shock, her lips forming a perfect ā€˜oā€™, as if to say ā€˜oh shit, I just interrupted the most important moment in my best friendsā€™ lives because Iā€™m so excited and impatient that these two dinguses finally figured their shit outā€™.
She kicks the scattered popcorn towards the wall, like thatā€™ll somehow hide the mess, before awkwardly passing them both down the hall towards the living room.
Eddie loves her so much.
ā€œHuh,ā€ Eddie chuckles, ā€œwell that wasā€“ā€
ā€œIā€™ve known Iā€™ve liked you since last summer when you let me help you into my pool onto Hollyā€™s rubber duck floaty so you could finally go swimming after you finished physical therapy.ā€ Steve sounds out of breath, words running into each other with misplaced breaths in between. Like if he stops, he knows he wonā€™t start again.ļæ½ļæ½
Itā€™s the only time Eddieā€™s felt the urge to keep quietā€“ when heā€™s not fighting for his life.
ā€œYou were so nervous,ā€ Steve plows on, ā€œbut you said you felt safe with me, that you wanted only me to be there. You said you trusted me to help without laughing or judging you. Fuck, Eddie, you were so goddamn cute once we got you settled in with a Coke with a crazy straw in it. We were listening to ABBA and you didnā€™t even complain and you were so sunburnt the next day. It was the happiest Iā€™d ever seen you.ā€
The memory leaves Eddie shocked. He did trust Steve to help, didnā€™t even consider asking anyone else because Steve just felt like the most obvious answer. Heā€™d been there through the worst of Eddieā€™s post-PT work to make sure he ā€˜kept formā€™ on his exercises. Theyā€™d lounged in the sun all day, and it was the first time Eddie watched Steve relax since his final Upside-Down battle.Ā 
Eddie feels his lip quiver, eyes burning, knowing theyā€™d felt the same that day. Judging by Steveā€™s watery eyes, he guesses they feel the same now, too.Ā 
ā€œBut love,ā€ Steve whispers. He swallows as he takes a step closer, reaching out to grasp his hands. ā€œEddie Munson, I knew I was in love with you yesterday.ā€
His shoulders tighten as he recalls yesterday, surprised because they hadnā€™t seen each other at all, one of the rare days where their schedules didnā€™t line up. It was the first time in months theyā€™d gone longer than thirty-six hours without seeing each other. Sure, theyā€™d talked on the phone while Steve worked, but itā€™s not the same.
ā€œI know,ā€ Steve laughs, clocking Eddieā€™s confusion. ā€œI thought about you all day. Couldnā€™t stop, no matter how hard I tried. Robin had to work with the customers because all I kept thinking about was tonight. If youā€™d get here before Robin, so we could sit out by the pool and smoke. Where weā€™d sit for the movie and if weā€™d get to share the popcorn bucket. If youā€™d pick a movie I hadnā€™t seen, so youā€™d lean in close and tell me a million random facts, even when you know I donā€™t really get it. But I just like when youā€™re close, next to me, andā€“ā€ he hesitatesā€“ ā€œI think thatā€™s why you do it.ā€
Steve lifts their joined hands, wiping a tear from his eye using the back of Eddieā€™s knuckles. He returns the gesture, wiping what Eddieā€™s guessing is a mix of tears and snot off of his own face with Steveā€™s sleeve.Ā 
ā€œI think you lean in because you want to be close to me, too, and you donā€™t actually care about the movie either. Eddie, I think you ask for my help because you trust me in a way only Robin does. You give me cute nicknames like ā€˜sweetheartā€™ and ā€˜pretty boyā€™ because youā€™re teasing me, but I think itā€™s mostly because you really mean it.ā€ Steveā€™s stepped closer now, and Eddie can feel the warmth of shared air between their gasping breaths.Ā 
ā€œI think you tease me and lean into me because you want my attention,ā€ Steve whispers, brushing his nose alongside Eddieā€™s as their foreheads touch. ā€œBut Eddie, youā€™ve always had my attention.ā€
Eddie surges forward, capturing Steveā€™s tear-soaked lips between his own in what has to be the snotiest kiss either of them has ever had. But he doesnā€™t care. How could he? Eddieā€™s kissing the man heā€™s been in love with for almost eight months.Ā 
Steve drops Eddieā€™s hands in favor of running one through his dark curls, while the other grips tightly at his waist. He canā€™t help but cup Steveā€™s cheeks, running a gentle thumb along his cheekbones.Ā 
Itā€™s soft and messy and everything heā€™s ever hoped for, because Steve Harrington is his everything, and heā€™ll do anything to keep him. Right now, he doesnā€™t have to worry about what theyā€™ll tell their friends, or how theyā€™ll explain this to Nancy, or even if Robinā€™s listening behind the doorā€“ heā€™s sure she is. No, right now, he lets himself bask in the glow of Steveā€™s love and soak in the comfort that Steve feels loved in return.
