It's kind of funny that Kendall and Shiv are both equally delusional about their ability to charm people for business and somehow think they can do it even though they choke almost every single time, whereas it's like the one thing Roman is consistently good at despite being the "least legitimate" option.

I think part of this comes down to the fact that Shiv and Kendall both have very clear ideas of the versions of themselves they're trying to be and the images they're trying to project, and they're trying so hard to be seen that way that they end up coming off as a little desperate and off-putting. Meanwhile Roman "knows" that there's something wrong with him and he's worthless, so he doesn't get sucked into the trap of trying to force people to see his idea of himself and instead molds himself into whatever he thinks the other person wants from him because that's the only way he can compensate for "being him," which works very well in the short term but also means he's the least capable of maintaining any relationship for very long because he has no sense of self.

remus canonically said lily “had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn’t see it in themselves” and yet some of y’all say it’s insane to think her and regulus could possibly get along.

Assigning the modern Assassins pokemon for fun.

Desmond has a Rufflet from growing up as an Assassin. It becomes a Braviary much much later. He also has a Pidove from New York. Or the equivalent. Depending on how one handles physical locations. It evolves into a Tranquill to find him when he gets kidnapped, and an Unfezant sometime later.

Lucy has a Golurk, whose line is... not common, but sought after by both Assassins and Templars. Pokemon created in ancient times with technology that people don't understand and energy that seems impossible. They are Isu things. She also has a Gardevoir (or earlier evo) from being at Abstergo. She used to have a Rufflet, but Bill took it from her when they cut her off from the Assassins for undercover work.

Speaking of the Rufflet. Clay had a Rufflet given to him by Bill, who evolved into Braviary during the ceremonial leap of faith. That Rufflet used to be Lucy's. It didn't go with Clay to Abstergo, and seeing Lucy (who it perceives as abandoning it) coming back without him, it blames her. Also, Shaun wonders if it has any relation to the old Hisui Braviary, because it seems to have an attachment to Desmond based on his... mental interactions with Clay? Its unclear.

As for Rebecca and Shaun, besides probably Bravuary and Rotom, I'm not sure yet.

hello hello foxes ranking based on who jean would get along best with?

- @you-know-i-get-itt

omg hiii queen love your social media aus <3

1. Andrew - by “get along with” i mean they exchange like 5 words but idk Jean is so similar to Neil (and Andrew). i hope they end up on a pro team together

2. Renee - we’ve already seen they get along well

3. Neil - they piss each other off but also they’re forever partners. they look out for each other and they have the same brand of insults. homies <3

4. Matt - Matt is good at exy so Jean would respect him and Matt is nice and funny and hot. would take some time but eventually backliner buddies

5. Dan - Jean seems to appreciate a strong, skilled woman. like Thea

6. Kevin - im sorry that Kevin is here i just think their friendship is kind of ruined forever. i think if they played tg again they would piss each other tf off lmao. Jean would get prickly at Kevin’s harsh criticism after their history lol and Kevin would get pissed off that Jean isn’t listening to him and would feel guilty

7. Aaron - i think Jean would feel so neutral about Aaron. unbothered king

8. Allison - ik they’re both tall, pretty, and cunty but i think they probably wouldn’t find a lot of common ground lol

9. Nicky - they’re not vibing. Jean would get annoyed quick i think lol

i do find the current evolution of what proship/antiship means really confusing, even as someone who’s always disliked how the “two sides” debate reduces the nuance of what the conversation actually is. it feels like everyone who identifies as “pro-ship”/“antis dni” assumes antiship is just being against any relationship thats unhealthy or toxic. meanwhile most of the people i’ve seen who id as “anti”/“dni proship” seem to assume proship is ONLY applied to ships between an adult and a minor.

i find the whole debate really fucking stupid because i’ve witnessed the nuance between these two factions with my own eyes. i’ve seen as many “proshippers” who enjoy underaged ships as i’ve seen “proshippers” who just enjoy toxic yaoi. and i’ve seen as many “antis” who hate couples that fight as i’ve seen “antis” who just don’t want to interact with people who ship siblings. theres no genuine consistency among the factions so why the fuck do people hold onto these labels?

speaking to bsd specifically, the discourse around so many of these ships cannot be neatly categorized by either “this ship is pro” or “this ship is anti”. the discussion around sskk is much different than it is around say, atsushi/kyoka, dazai/odasaku, or young dazai/mori. all of these relationships appear in the fandom with different contexts to unpack. trying to divide them between pro and anti would be a nightmare.

having said all this, i will admit i think ur assessment of why someone would say “proship dni” with sskk in their bio is disingenuous, but it speaks to just how meaningless all these labels are. its just as likely someone who’s anti proship in the bsd fandom wants to avoid people who make young dazai/mori content as it is that they think sskk is genuinely healthy, and hates any ship that isnt. ultimately i think if we stopped leaning on pointless labels and just said “hey if you ship adult/minor content dni” our conversations as a fandom would be much more productive. but anyway.

Yeah, you're most definitely right. Those words just don't mean anything anymore.

one of the best things about getting older is hitting the point where you look around and realize you arent legally bound to be nice to anyone. it doesnt matter if youve known someone all your life or if you met them last week, if you decide someone is too immature, unevolved, annoying or just plain uninteresting to you, you can simply tell them you dont want to talk anymore. you can just break it off and walk away. you dont have to stay in meaningless or frustrating friendships or relationships. you can decide you dont like someone and it doesnt have to be moral it can be any reason you could ever think of and you can simply say hey. i dont think were compatible and id like to go our own ways. and then you can clean your hands of it and never have to stress about it again. its fantastic.

Tbh it’s better for both Solange and the Bishops that she doesn’t keep them in her Flock bc if she did keep them around their stay wouldn’t be exactly pleasant

She’s not sadistically torturing them or anything but rather the bishops end up ostracized from most of the Flock due to Solanges influence ( both intentionally and otherwise ) and bc a good chunk of her followers were former worshippers that were fucked over by them in some way or another ( an example being that Ellena was part of Leshys cult and was planned to be sacrificed after her parents made a deal with Leshy that he’d take her instead of the initial planned sacrifice ( one of her siblings ) ) so they don’t wouldn’t have the most positive reputation among Solanges followers ( I feel like some followers would be hostile/violent towards the bishops too )

I also don’t think she’d be willing to take any of them ( outside of Shamura ) to their temples either, I mean she literally only cleansed Shamura for the possibility of closure from them specifically along with them being the one she dislikes the least. She does not need to waste her energy on the other 3 as two of them are actively hostile towards her ( Leshy and Heket ) and the other she holds so much contempt for that she almost refuses to even find his relic ( Kallamar )

Solange also wouldn’t exactly care if they died either ( with the exception of Shamura since I do feel like she’d be concerned for their physical and mental wellbeing even if it’s only out of being a decent person ( plus her moral ocd ) rather than genuine concern but with the others she could kinda care less if they died out on a missionary or during a brawl gone wrong ). Granted it does depend on her relationship with Narinder bc if they’re on decent terms I think Solange would at least try to care

So basically the Bishops would be kinda miserable until their eventual death ( which would be a couple centuries later so it’d be a long time )

In particular Heket would be the most miserable out of the 4 bc I feel like she’d refuse to adapt or accept her fate ( I think that’s kinda canonish with the hymns of the unholy ). Like with the other 3 I can see them possibly adapting to their new lives or at the very least finding some sort of peace but with Heket I just can’t see it. Doesn’t help that Heket and Solanges relationship would be fucking awful ( like you think Solange and Narinders dynamic postgame before they find common ground is bad then Heket and Solanges dynamic is like 10x worse especially bc I feel like it takes longer for Heket to get worn down by Solange and they never find any common ground with eachother )

can i be toxic for a second i am so tired of people framing sunday and aventurine conflict as "sunday the mean homophobe who hates aventurine for that reason" and i wish that would go away because you can't object to this take without someone going "you're babying sunday too much" because i don't agree with him being given this ugly trait he doesn't have??

its ok anon u can vent in my inbox in good faith

its very frustrating isnt it... i agree. double indemnity trio have all moved on from this conflict the second Penacony arc ended, and yet it's the fandom that perpetuates these false narratives for... what? (i know the answer actually but heh keeping it to myself lest i be crucified). Ratio finds Sunday smart, Sunday finds Ratio pleasant, Aventurine thinks Sunday is handsome and is eager to watch him, Sunday has a crush on finds Aventurine a worthy rival. they're all amiable with eachother. not a single one of them "hold grudges" or "hate eachother" over this, frankly run-of-the-mill for them business trip. CAN WE MOVE ON COLLECTIVELY...!

we cant really change people's perceptions that easily though anon so all we can do are baby steps, one fanart or fic or project at a time :/// (still sucks tho when u just wanna enjoy these sillies in peace)

(PS Sunday is literally the LAST person to be homophobic this man would not be hateful towards any group of people whatsoever.)
