Hey, saw that you're having a bit of rough day. :(

I'm almost finished the next part.

But, would you like Prowl to bully "the wet bread moron" Josh? (as a treat. there's a part I could slide it in) Like a little petty revenge like get back at people being jerks to orcas?

-GLC

Oh I would absolutely love that yes🥺👉👈

What if we were both magic prodigies and it otherized us in different ways and we devoted ourselves to protecting a family member who has general other goals & priorities. What if we both did self-sacrifical devotion in opposite ways.

What if we were dark mirrors of each other and where I've grown overcontrolling you've grown complacent. What if, bought as a servant into a pretty loving home, ownership and control is what love looks like to me, and to you neglected and lonely growing up, love is gratefully taking any scraps of it you’re lent.

By belonging to someone, even if she comes back injured or fails at finding Delgal, she feels like she belongs and is cherished, by owning someone he feels safe in them not leaving him.

She’s what’s tethering him do you see… And he’s the only thing giving her direction and purpose in her state. She needs a compass and he needs a support.

They’re both so out of it 😭 It’s the weirdly intense and unearned mutual trust and reliance on each other?? They’re each other’s weird little comfort codependent teddy bear. Or at least they were headed towards that before SHE DIED THEN HE DIED THEN THEY BOTH FORGOT ABOUT EACH OTHER AND NEVER MET EVER AGAIN. Though she’s also the guard attack hound keeping him safe… And vice versa he heals her and can rewrite her very being with just one wave of his hand. They’re both so so mentally and physically vulnerable both but they cling onto each other. They can’t perceive things accurately but despite it all someway somehow they stumble into something closer to resembling companionship just before they both die. Falin is just that kind and Thistle is just that lonely. Overworked.

We both haven’t lived for ourselves in a very long time, haven’t we.

They both have a similar devotion to the people they love but again the difference is that Thistle starts overtsepping while Falin is self-effacing. The other difference between them is that people care about Falin <3 People have given up on Thistle long ago, and he has given people reasons to, while people refuse to give up on Falin. Yaad has a mini arc about it dw about it it’s ok he’s not all alone in the end 😭😭 He reached out for Marcille’s hand but they already all wanted to help him, they just had to be given the chance to, Yaad just had to be given the chance to, it’s okay I’m okay

Hey what if we learned to get in touch with our own identity and the world around us and living in the present again through being in the worst codependent situationship ever.

Falin and Thistle sitting in a tree, sucking on flowers together because they’re h-u-n-g-r-y 💕💕💕

I bet he’s only ever thought of flowers as useless ornaments. Weak weeds. But she shows him they’re tasty and useful and good and pretty in their own right too and deserve existing without proving their worth and waaa <33 Thistles…... Did you know thistles taste sweet if you remove the thorns and eat them?

"Even as a chimera, her kind nature remains" you can’t suppress her in the way that matters. You can’t soothe him in the way that matters. It’s doomed. You’re doomed. It’s all doomed. Save me.

watching dead poets society with my mother and i cant make a single queercoded analysis this must be hell

[afewproblems]

Okay but why does picturing Shawn Spencer with a daughter whose mother passed away and is raising her with uncle Gus and Papa Henry make me super emotional.

Especially if the little girls other grandparents on her mother's side were a little upset about not being considered for full guardianship.

Imagine Carlton and Juliet finding out about his kiddo when they run into Shawn and Charlotte out for smoothies with Gus.

Juliet asks if this is a niece and bends down to her level to give Charlotte a little wave while Lassiter is silently cataloging all the similar facial features between Shawn and the little girl who is now hiding behind Shawn's legs.

He reaches around to pick her up and whispers something in her ear that Carlton can't quite hear.

"This is Miss Juliet and Mr Carlton, can you say hi Charlie?" Shawn says in the same soft voice, but loud enough for both Carlton and Juliet to hear this time.

Charlie shakes her head and buries it in Shawn's neck, he reaches up and strokes her curly brown hair, "sorry guys, she's a bit tired, we normally are home by now for her afternoon nap but uncle Gus insisted on smoothies".

"Um, excuse me, in what universe are you living? You absolutely wanted smoothies too--" Gus tries to interject but is cut off by a gasp from Juliet.

"Wait a second, she's yours??" Juliet blurts out, her blue eyes wide with shock, "when were you going to tell us?"

"Eventually," Shawn says cryptically after a beat.

He shifts the little girl in his arms slightly, away from the pair of Detectives, protectively for some reason, as though worried that one of them will snatch her out of Shawns arms at any moment.

"Look I can explain later, right now I have to get her home, Gus, I'll see you later".

And with that, Shawn grabs his bag from the table beside him and books it out of the smoothie place, leaving Gus with their drinks and a pair of thoroughly confused Detectives.

i dunno that i would ever write a s.quid games verse for chiyo bc i don’t think it’d really get used, but man… i love it and i’m thinking of college drop out chiyo prior to getting her foot into the manga industry… ma’am was struggling and probably could’ve gotten roped into a game if you caught her in the right moment. it’d be interesting to see how she’d act in that setting ( i say, knowing she’s a self-sacrificing hero )

2, 4, 14 conall and 6, 10, 16 brigid?

2. What were their expectations going into the Conclave?

Conall was... I'd say cautiously optimistic going into the Conclave. I think if there wasn't a part of him that genuinely thought that good could come out of it, that the war could be ended, then he simply wouldn't have gone. He would've stayed on the run. But as it is, I think Conall, for all he doesn't really believe and for all he hates the way the Chantry has treated people, still has a part of him that wants to see the Chantry as an institution that can bring peace, if the right person is at the head of the operation.

4. Was there anything in their life they were looking forwards to doing once the Conclave was done?

Going home. Conall up until this point has spent the majority of his life in the Ostwick Circle, with extremely infrequent communication with/visits with his family. Part of this is on him, part of this is on his family members, but also a part is obviously on the nature of the Circles. He misses his sisters, man. But at this point, it's been so long that seeing his sisters no longer entails going home, and while I think he knows that he's not quite registered the fact that they won't be there anymore. So a lot of the time leading up the Conclave is filled with him thinking "at least I get to go home when this is over".

14. What type of Inquisitor are they? What are their motivations? How do they lead?

This is a weirdly hard question to answer for me and I don't know why. Conall starts out very compassionate, driven, and trusting. He wants to help as many people as possible and he wants the other mages to be free and he trusts far too frequently. As time goes on, I think the wanting to help as many people as possible stays but it becomes so much harder to do, to believe that he can do it, and he gets significantly more jaded.

6. Is the Herald impacted by Justinia's death? Or do they move on quickly?

Yeah, I'd say so. I don't think Brigid had a relationship with Justinia or anything, but she respected Justinia greatly and certainly mourns her. And there's also the immediate onset anxiety of "Hey, so what the fuck happens now?" that comes when the Divine and every single potential option for the next one is killed in on fell swoop. Not a good time for her, is what I'm saying.

10. What are the Herald's opinion on the Mage Rebellion and on mage rights?

Deeply, deeply complicated. Brigid isn't a die-hard, "The Chantry can do no wrong" Andrastian, but she is a sister, she does believe, so I think she really wants the Circles to be a net good for the world. But she also has a little brother who she hasn't seen in years because of the Circle, who may or may not be alive because for all she knows he was at the Conclave or he's been killed by some templar in the woods or he was killed by another mage when the rebellion first began. She also talks to a number of people in and around Redcliffe before making any firm decisions about whether to ally with the mages or templars, so their testimonies do not do great things for her already tumultuous thought process.

The thing about Brigid is that if things were a little bit different, I think she would side with the templars, or at least wouldn't take the mages on as full allies. A part of her, despite herself, is wary of them and the power they hold. But right now, despite a whole lot, I think the templars seem like the less reliable option. They don't want to follow the Chantry or the Inquisition, and Brigid being a sister makes her a very weird intersection of both, she does not make for a good leader for them. And on a much more selfish note, a part of her really wants to believe that her brother is alive, that he's out there somewhere, and that if she makes it clear to the world that the Inquisition supports the plight of the rebel mages (even if it isn't entirely true to her own values), then maybe he'll show up at their doorstep one day. She can hope.

16. What are the Inquisitor's thoughts on their advisors Leliana, Josephine and Cullen? Who do they listen to the most?

I think she's closest personally to Josephine. There's just something about the Josephine and her sense of humor that I think charms Brigid immediately. I think she trusts Leliana implicitly as her spymaster (Justinia wouldn't have chosen her if she wasn't good for the job, she clearly has loyalty to the Inquisition), but she's very wary of her as a person, probably until her personal quest. Despite my opinions on the matter, I think she trusts and genuinely enjoys the company of Cullen.

I wish So Bad that I could confidently recommend lob corp and library of ruina to people because they're both genuinely rly good games and I also need ppl I know to understand the insanity that is project moon but like godddd they are a fucking Investment. Both in time and in brainpower. I generally think ppl exaggerate how hard lob corp is but it's certainly not easy and when it does get hard it gets HARD. Also it literally requires at least one day 1 reset (basically a new game+) to fully beat the game and at this point I've done at least 10. And for lor I'm not nearly as far in and I'm just scratching the surface of the real game but it's a beast of its own. Also 100+ hours and also hard as hell. Like this game does not fuck around with its difficulty spikes it will make you use your brain and it will give you a damn headache in the process. It's also one of my favorite card combat games I've ever played with mechanics that just so beautifully complement each other to create a dynamic and interesting battle system that gives it a completely different vibe and feeling than any other deck builder games I've played to the point where it almost feels wrong to me to categorize them together. But also I am not even slightly joking abt the headache thing every time I play this damn game I close it with a horrible headache and have to take a multi day break. I think everyone should experience this with me <3

“Well Doc? What do you think? Can I pull off your look?”

This was prompted by a cute idea my friend and I were talking about where Rivet tries on Starline’s coat and he adjusts and fixes it for her because she didn’t put it on right.

But uh— then I went overboard and wanted to see if she could pull off his entire look, so, let’s just say hypothetical-villain-Rivet has been born!

Starline’s more just stunned that what’s going on in front of him somehow works.

Learning Curve Hall-of-Famer right here. Tuvok making Chell clean the transporter room with the equivalent of a toothbrush as, I assume, a punishment of some sort & Harry coming out of left field with a 'You missed a spot <3' just to kick him while he's down. Harry, the man's gonna be there LITERALLY all day. Absolute bastards these Starfleet types <- said with love

“…The Anglo-Saxon era is often thought of as having been a golden age for women. Since the late eighteenth century, it has been a commonplace that women in England had better rights before the Norman Conquest than they did afterwards, and were held in higher esteem by society. Before 1066, said one eminent historian in the mid-twentieth century, men and women enjoyed ‘a rough and ready partnership’. As so often with golden ages, however, this picture rests on a selective reading of very limited and debatable evidence. One of its principal props is an account of German women written by the Roman historian Tacitus towards the end of the first century AD. These women, claimed Tacitus, were virtuous, frugal and chaste, and supported their sons and husbands by encouraging them to acts of valour. But this was simply a Roman praising ‘barbarian’ society in order to criticize his own. German women were portrayed as laudable because, unlike their Roman counterparts, they did not conduct adulterous affairs or waste their time at baths and theatres. The reality, unfortunately, seems to be that the status of women in first-century Germany and Anglo-Saxon England was no better than it was in later centuries.”

— Marc Morris, "Anglo-Saxons: The History of the Beginnings of England, 400-1066” / Pauline Stafford, "Women and the Norman Conquest"

"Anglo-Saxon England has thus been a Golden Age variously of women's domestication, women's legal emancipation, women's education and women's sexual liberation. The length of a tradition which has changed so fundamentally over time is no guarantee of its veracity. A cursory view of a range of evidence from either side of the 1066 divide casts immediate doubt on the idea of a brutal Norman ending of the Golden Age. The raw statistics of Domesday, for example, suggest a different picture of England on the eve of the Norman arrival. No more than five per cent of the total hidage of land recorded was in the hands of women in 1066. Of that five per cent, 80-85% was in the hands of only eight women, almost all of them members of the families of the great earls, particularly of earl Godwine, or of the royal family. By the tenth and eleventh centuries women other than the queen are virtually absent from the witness lists of the royal charters, and thus apparently from the political significance such witness lists record.”

I feel like if a child is old enough to understand the concept of death and that their loved one has died, there’s no reason why going to a funeral would be any more upsetting than knowing they are dead in the first place. if the child is too young to understand the concept of death (ie a toddler or baby) there is also no reason not to take them to the funeral unless having to take care of them there would be distracting or burdensome on their parents.
