ACTUALLY, I cannot stop thinking about the object lesson Solas gives Rook about finding alternate ways to remove opponents
Solas: “I made people laugh at him”
Me: aaah, so very smart! The god of lies and trickery using propaganda and misinformation to undermine the credibility and fearsomeness of an adversary! I wonder how he demeaned him in the public eye? What inventive rumors did he spread that eroded his reputation and power?
Solas: I used magic to psychologically torture him into a mental break :)
Me:…
#dragon age#bioware#datv#datv rook#datv critical#dragon age the veilguard#veilguard#solas#dragon age solas#it’s just#the least interesting way to do it#I get that they’re going for something for solas in this game#but it just doesn’t feel like his style?#it’s inelegant#and honestly not convoluted enough#like why is Solas building a black mirror torment nexus for one dude#but I also think that it gives some insight into him#and why he butts heads with Sera so much#that girl will not take Solas seriously#and it irritates him SO MUCH that she laughs at him#wish they would have dug into that actually#like yeah play on his regrets#but also play on his PRIDE

“you betrayed me last session so I don’t love you” ok well i can see myself inside your bloodshot eyes wondering if you can see yourself in mine or do you just see me and of me what you want to see
#last one today. i promise. i will actually get over it and go to bed#ive been thinking about bloodshot by Julien Baker with them too much. i can’t stop#and i also can’t stop thinking about. yknow.#she deliberately switched from using ‘i dont like you’ to Impulse to ‘i dont love you’ to Pearl??? didn’t even need to do that but okay???#so much to say. about whatever divorce arc theyre going through. about their perception of each other and how it differs and has changed#about the torment nexus misery cycle etc.#but ok girl. just whip out those repressed feelings ig. good for you#life series spoilers#wild life spoilers#mcyt

i made this for myself but anyway! homestuck lobotomy corporation crossover!!! featuring Dirk as Ayin and Jake as Carmen :)
secrete design under here for my fellow pm heads for whos angela
is angela based off of jake you ask? nope! lil hal is angela! ;)
instead of AR its DEM or D-em, whats it stand for?
deus ex machina :]
you look me in the eyes and say dirk "control freak" strider wouldn't make an AI based off himself, he doesnt trust anyone else enough to do the task of maintaining the script!
#homestuck#lobotomy corporation#dirk strider#jake english#lil hal#anyways hal is going through the torment nexus btw#this all started bc i got back into homestuck while playing limbus and i was struck with the thought that dirk as ayin!#o7 jake unfortunately your hope has damned everyone around you! see you in the next game king cant wait to see your glow up <3#also yeah hal as angela is like big sad but also u get like a happy ending in the next game good luck king see u in 10k years o7#ult dirk is adam btw debating on the other guys but i need to think some shit out#(i put rose as binah in my head btw she gets to be op#as a treat )#thank you for coming to my ted talk all like 5 people that have the same interests as me ! lmao#I FORGOT BUT ROXY IS BENJAMIN !

Hey! I love your works, thanks for sharing them! Your stuff is some of my favorites in the fandom!
I just wanted to ask your opinion on how Malenia and Miquella (from FoR and your characterization of them specifically) would view Millicent. How do you think they'd interact with her? Would they avoid her? What would that mean for their own relationship? Etc etc.
Just asking because I think your take on Malenia and Miquella is so interesting to play around with.
Thanks! Your stuff is awesome!!
Wah, anon this is such a sweet message, I'm always humbled to hear people like my works and my characterizations! Thank you so much 🥺💕
I'm so sorry this is so long but as I'm sure you can imagine, I have Many Thoughts about Malenia lol.
I've actually thought quite a lot about Millicent and her sisters and I think, first and foremost, that she doesn't know about them at all. I think after her bloom and being carried back to the roots of the Haligtree that she's basically been in a pseudo-coma as the rot progresses now that she's needle-less, so she might know about the kindred of rot but not Millicent or her sisters.
With Malenia, I really focus on her lack of autonomy as a character throughout the most formative years of her life and the trauma that undoubtedly came with it, where she is burdened with the rot which would have effectively ostracized her from most people except Miquella (because of his immunity to the rot). This is also in addition to her being named as an Empyrean and already having her fate decided for her. So the nature by which Millicent and her sisters came to be, after her bloom and presumably like offshoots or cuttings from plants, they'd be another blow against her autonomy because she didn't have a say in their creation (implied by Gowry raising them and her rejection of the kindred of rot).
Specifically with Millicent, I imagine Malenia would see a lot of herself in her, and I think she would harbor a deep resentment because of that - not because she'd dislike Millicent, but because Millicent would be a reflection of her younger self. Someone who is spawned from her, consequently cursed BY her, to suffer the same hardships. Millicent is the same as younger Malenia, which consequently forces Malenia into the role of the Outer Rot God in their dynamic - unwittingly having taken on the role of the thing she hates. If Malenia had embraced the rot like Romina, I think it would be different, but every time she accepts it, it's when she's at the end of her rope with no choices left and she's essentially resigned herself to death.
This might sound harsh, but it's also why I love her as a character - I believe Malenia is ultimately deeply selfish in her actions where Miquella is concerned (and vice versa ignoring all the DLC). She's sworn herself to his cause, has proven herself willing to die for him, to go to war for him, to commit countless atrocities in his name and inflict the very thing she despises - the curse that has caused her so much misery - on countless others. For him. But! In a twisted way, it's also for herself! Because for once, this is HER choice. She decided to take on the title of his blade and devote herself to him. No matter the ask, no matter the cost.
Miquella, who knows Malenia better than anyone and has been by her side throughout the worst of it, knows all of this. I believe he would be sympathetic to Millicent and her sisters (also seeing a younger Malenia in them) but I suspect that while he would also try to help them in secret, he'd be (selfishly) keeping them away from Malenia so that she wouldn't have to deal with all the trauma I mentioned above. He might feel some guilt about it, but with how I write him in FoR, he's always willing to harbor some secrets if he believes it's in Malenia's best interest. He wants to save her, to give her back the life she's been denied - a life free of her rot and any burdens. And that would mean a life without five magically spawned new dependents whose existence would be inflicting constant psychic damage on Malenia and that she'd feel responsible for.
In a timeline where the twins are far less codependent, and where they're not both so focused on Miquella's ambitions to cure Malenia of her rot and revolutionize the world, maybe Malenia is able to take the time to heal and make peace with herself. In that timeline, maybe Millicent would serve to be a positive and healing influence on her.
#Cinder answers#Cinder fics#Kinda - because this is specifically answered for my FoR characterization of Malenia and Miquella#(speaking of which ch 20 later tonight maybe? If I can get my shit together and finish editing)#Tysm for the ask anon! This truly made my morning 🥺 💕💕💕💕#I enjoyed thinking more about this and writing it out since it won't come into play in FoR or any other fics I have planned for them#I know a lot of people in fandom think she'd be a good mom to Millicent & co but I think it's the opposite and that she'd be horrible at it#To me she'd probably react in a similar way to women who suffer from PPD#And the act of unwillingly becoming a mother would be deeply traumatizing for her#(in my reading of her character at least)#Imo you can't give a character terminal fantasy super cancer that's also a virus and infects everyone around her from prolonged contact#That leads to the rotting and decay of her body as a CHILD who is then forced to go through amputation to try and stop it#the same child who is also given a title that says she can be the next God but yet for some reason is rotting away#Oh and also can't die bc God locked Death away so she's basically in the Super Torment Nexus cursed to Rot Away Into Nothingness Forever#And not have them be DEEPLY Unwell and Traumatized by the experience#(side note I never understood why it's so popular in fanon they'd let her limbs just??? Rot??? Off??? Like.. We know they have Perfumers)#(and we know they loved hacking off the evil curse of Omen horns so why would they not try hacking off the evil curse of Rot???)

God I always forget that, while I do enjoy watching Bridgerton, it is also deeply aggravating. I have to turn my righteous indignation meter all the fuck way down.
#Colin: Pen you simply cannot care about what others think of you just go live your life#pen: trapped in the torment nexus of high society where she is a cow to be bought and sold#Me gripping the chair: it’s a silly romance show it’s a silly romance show it’s a silly romance#bridgerton

tbh you are so real for talking about the misogyny targeted to mei & other women in the lmk fandom. in general its like people only value mei as: a: the wingman to some basic mlm ship or b: macaque 2.0. its honestly crazy how so many male side characters overshadow her in the fanbase despite not even having a FRACTION of her screen time. idk chat i feel like the reason people dont care about mei but care about some random male side/background character is less because they're inherently more likeable but because some of you view women as inherently less likable. and everyone is always like "mei is so girlboss pussy cunt slay shes the only reason theyre still alive because she keeps them safe from their silly boy shennanigans shes their ultimate wingman shes so badass shes their lesbian best friend i totally paid attention to her when i watched this show LOL" and even ignoring the obvious misogyny here (ie. how people reduce her to being the male characters babysitter) its like... okay... i know mei is cool & badass already... could you name literally ANY other character trait she has. like people just value her as being "the braincell" who can get red son and mk together or something stupid and its like are we having fun still is this still fun. literally every day i go into the mei tag its like "look at mei shes red sons wifey and shes vaguely in the background of this drawing of red son and mk staring into each others eyes #trafficlighttrio am i right oh look shes macaques niece now this post is about ao lie why is it in the mei tag"
and thats literally JUST talking about mei and it doesnt even begin to cover the other female characters. chang'e constantly gets reduced to being red sons aunt/mom/big sister despite them like. not having any actual interactions in the show. lady bone demon constantly gets overshadowed by her minion who has like 2 seconds of screen time, or she gets made into a cartoonishly abusive madwoman who people call lady bitch demon. just in general people act like shes a horrible person for like. being a villain. liks yeah the trying to destroy everything was bad but also she was an antagonist and thats what antagonists do LOL. spider queen gets completely ignored. princess iron fan gets made into a cartoonishly abusive mother so that way red son can have a poor angsty backstory and some male character (usually nezha, macaque, swk) can take care of him.
(also theres just a great deal of ethnocentrism in the lmk fanbase? like im white so take what İ say here with a grain of salt but so many people will misconstrue aspects of chinese culture for their own personal hcs. people will say male characters are transfem or nonbinary while completely ignoring the time period/culture their from where thats the norm. like yippee youve implied that an east asian man is feminine/emasculine because he has long hair. how do you not see the negative connotations with this. people also turn pif (& lbd to an extent) into a dragon lady which obviously has negative racial connotations lol.)
anyway this is where my unhinged rambling ends have a good day have a good night İ had more to say here but İ reached the text limit. İ dont see a lot of people talk about the misogyny thats prevalent in the lmk fanbase so İm glad youre pointing it out lol.
Yeah, I totally hear you. The lmk fandom has plenty of issues with misogyny and, like you said, ethnocentrism. It's definitely something worth having a discussion about, along with these issues in fandom as a whole.
#you seriously hit the nail on the head anon#(feel free to rant more! I appreciated reading yer thoughts)#tbh I think it's the purity culture like#If LBD and SQ were men. They'd be so popular it's not even funny#But because they're women. And women can't be flawed#(or their flaws are harder to justify- unlike a male character like Wukong. So they're a ''bitch'')#But don't worry! There's one girl character we can girlbossify and ignore all of those pesky flaws and characteristics!!!#I'm so sorry Mei#You're not a support character for spicynoodles to me#you're literally so insane about MK it's not even funny#she's going to become my fav character out of spite on god#when she was like ''what's the point of having power if you won't use it?''#and azure was like ''i did not sacrifice everything to be an idle deity''#And 1x03 was about her using her family sword (her power) to protect her house#And Azure used his sword (his power) to protect the world#And when Mei modeled her sword after Azure's (and now he's dead)#and when- *gets shot*#also Mei doesn't even have the fucking braincell#None of them have the braincell#They're all dummies. They're all scrambling around doing their god damn best#A main theme is the fact that no one knows what they're doing. Like#idk#lmk#lego monkie kid#torment nexus#asks#anon#lmk Mei

Sulyvahn and Dancer's relationshup is like constant misery distilled in every interaction they have bar from when the stars align and spend a few seconds being judgemental and meangirling the fuck out of other people
#the dancer was a member of the god royal family and has been going thru the torment nexus for years#she already had the Prejudice installed in her and now has the need to take her resentment out on someone. sulyvahn is just sulyvahn#sometimes they just simultaneously go lmfao look at this guys fucked up looking face#in moments like this he is so close at actually considering her a person </3

Thinking bc. I do think the ultimate barrier for LJ2 is that j3 really really really admires j4 for being unabashedly herself. He thinks she’s beautiful not just as an extension of Jace or any of the other clones but as someone who he sees as kind of transcendent but also clumsy and messy and deeply flawed in a way you can’t help but root for. And j2 thinks j4 is lovely but it’s always about bringing her in. You could be so much more if you understood the light of the pantheon. Sure we harp on j2 never being enough for LJ3 or jaceporter but j4 would never be good enough for j2
#jan.txt#clone enjoyers anonymous#lj2#j4 is kind of fucked really. so torment nexus#like. I think in one way she would understand she is enough for j3 if he would just tell her#but he’s so hungry for the world so. she’s never going to get that. she’s always going to think she’s in a losing battle#and for j2 she would never be good enough. she could never supplant the pantheon. it would always be. I love you DESPITE

i get why people have shifted away from the term 'peggy sue' but honestly its less cumbersome than 'time travel fix-it' or, as i occasionally see spread across multiple tags " 'time travel' 'not a fix-it tho' 'not a break it worse either' " like cmon it wasnt even actually related to the 'x sue' stuff that people (rightfully) dropped it was a covergent evolution.
#anyway tangentially related but if i got sent back to my high school self it would not even ping on anyones radar possibly including my own#bc that was the blender era. i was experiencing levels and types of psychosis that have just never peaked like that before or since#despite the fact that there were and have been worse eras of my life. every one a different torment nexus domt get me wrong#but if my teenage self suddenly said to their friends 'hey i think i just travelled back in time or something bc i have no memory of any of#your names or faces and no idea what classes i have or where they are and also here are the various horrible tidings from the future'#that would be a normal tuesday. that wasnt me being chuuni or whatever i genuinely just experienced life that way#i would introduce death grips and hozier and the mechanisms to my tyrannous dj lineup thats all that would immediately change#my cousin wouldnt go into the medical field bc she wouldnt have gotten into her college bc i wouldnt be able to recreate the admission essa#i was coerced into writing for her. my other cousin would have gotten a heads up about the facility. my dad would not gets a heads up.#i would have posted to tumblr complaining about how long it would take for atn to come out now#anyway. scenario vented

Theres smth about workplace dramas where characters can never leave. And they keep threatening it - for the drama - but each and every one of those people is magnetized to that place. Theyre not going to take the new job. Theyre not going to travel the world. Theyre not stepping down to have kids. No matter how much better their life would be for them, it would be a life outside of the cameras all seeing eye. And so it can never exist. They can never quite reach escape velocity. They just keep orbiting the same gravitational well for eternity.
#this post brought to you by#suits#every time someone on suits gets a job offer it makes me sad because i know theyre not going to take it#mike and rachel actually leaving shocked me but also im so happy for them#its also a little bit about bones#but bones manages to make it seem like theyre all soulmates and this is their home#not like theyre trapped in the torment nexus#...probably bc the drama in bones comes from serial killers trying to murder them and not vicious infighting#every time donna considera leaving the firm im like YASSSS LEAVE HIS ASS and then she doesnt
