19, 21, 13, 10, 7, 3, aaaaaand 2. go the fuck off op šŸ«”
hoooooooooo boy, time for wrath! (this is a long one so i put it beneath a cut)
19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like... ...smen. like not ON ITS FACE, not necessarily for its own merits, but i think the experience of playing it was enjoyable! and it has a lot of potential as a part of a PC's arc.
(while we're complaining though it does annoy me when people claim that bricking your account is the "true" ending. there isn't a true ending, and turning back at the last moment takes exactly as much effort as following through!)
21. part of canon you think is overhyped evolution. i don't think it's bad, i just don't think it's amazing. the naturalist is kinda cool; the sacristan obviously goes hard, the gore imagery is pretty fun, but the rest is kinda just... fine.
apart from irem irem kicks ass
13. worst blorboficiation i mean it's gotta be mr candles, right? some people just seem to take all the information presented in smen at face value and look at him only as a victim of the other masters. nobody ever seems to bring up that his ultimate goal is to kill the bazaar and the other masters at the expense of literally everyone else living in the neath. that's a lot of collateral!
10. worst part of fanon hm. this is hard. other than like, popularly accepted master/master ships, i can't think of much i'd really describe as FL fanon. maybe the common perception of judgements as unanimously mega-evil forever and ever and ever + white being the "bad" side of the great game? there's so much interesting texture to that element of the setting and it's so often sandpapered down to good vs evil.
7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how the fandom acts about them? i can't really think of any? don't get me wrong, i think there are characters that the fandom misrepresents and have spun off into being little dolls at arm's length from their in-game counterparts. but that's never really made me dislike any character i previously liked ā€“ mostly because the ones i see it done to aren't ones i've had a ton of in-game interaction with. if i had to pick one... maybe september?
2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom issue: stones would do both. with the right rhetoric, the right framing of "taking/being taken" or "giving/recieving", it would be happy in either position.
if you managed, by some miracle, to find a way for it to view intimacy outside of those terms? sub top. no elaboration sorry
3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr i wanted to put this one at the end because it's not going to be FL related (so anyone reading this who doesn't care about MTG can leave).
have you SEEN mark rosewater's blog. the asks he gets. if those are the questions he's decided are worth responding to, i cannot imagine the complete nonsense going on in his inbox.
like this is just something i saw this morning: (it's FAR from the worst take but it's what comes to mind)
Tumblr media
like. do. do you know what you're talking about? why would arcane be a supertype? it doesn't have any inherent meaning; it's just an indicator ā€“ what's wrong with it being a subtype? and instant as a subtype? there is classical discourse about instant being a supertype, but making it a subtype would only introduce one more subtype with rules effects, something that nobody wants to do because it sucks
ask game here!

Level 99 media literacy is understanding that Chichiro knew that her parents werent among the pigs at the end, not because some memorisation or trick or whatever, but because her charachter development from whinny brat into self confident hardworking brat made her realise her parents were never "pigs" (in the prejorative sense)

PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND SOMETHING!
(A tdp rant in disguise lol)
So we know that cosmic justice or whatv tf they are called gave the order for leola's execution bc she 'gave' humans magic, yes they specifically said gave. Not taught, not showed but "gave". Thats what they said. They also said that "...This act, however motivated, is the beginning of the end. The start of the long slow spiral to chaos..." Suggesting that cosmic order is now broken.
So these startouched elves are just chilling around doing nothing instead of protecting the cosmic order but the second its broken they're the ones who find people at fault as if they're not the actual reason for it???
Im sorry but that whole conversation is just weird. If they see leola's act as "the beginning of the end" that only proves that they have the knowledge of future. They HAD to know what was gonna happen in the future to find her guilty, that is the only explanation for them to give a death sentence to leola. And that only begs the question of 'if they knew what was gonna happen why did they still let it happen instead of trying to stop it???'
Idk they could have not let leola have any human friends. If this is about the ORDER of the COSMIC then i like to believe that its important. So they could've just warned Aaravos bro. Tell him the reason of it so that he could keep an eye out for his girl so she wouldn'tt get snatched by some random startouch elf. Also if the golden dragon (aka sol regem) saw leola and immediately snitched to the cosmic council that means he also knew what she was doing would break the order of the cosmic. Tf is that about? A random dragon knows about the cosmic law but not Aaravos, a startouch elf??????
Plus, If they can see the chaos of the future then shouldnt they also take Aaravos to this cosmic justice since HE is the one that ACTUALLY causes half, if not all of the damage to get revenge???
AND EVEN SO, THE WHOLE "THE LONG SLOW SPIRAL OF CHAOS" SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STATE OF THE WORLD RIGHT??? LIKE IT BASICALLY MEANS THE WORLD IS GONNA BE FUCKED IN THE FUTURE, AND THE ONLY DANGER FOR THE WORLD RIGHT NOW IS AARAVOS! IF YOU HAD THE POWER TO KILL A CHILD BC SHE IS THE TRIGGER FOR THIS CHAOS, WHY NOT KILL THE FATHER TOO SINCE HE IS THE ACTUAL CHAOS?!
im sorry im mad lol
Its just stupid. The so called cOsMiC cOuNCiL is nothing but BS. Leola had no reason to get executed. Bring me those elves i just wanna talk.

I grew up as Draco/Hermione shipper (since I was very young) but when I last reread HP, I became Harry/Draco shipper! I can't explain why I used to be Dramione shipper (when all the vibes are always between Harry and Draco). Now, I realized that Hermione is still my fav characters but I don't ship her with anyone now (since I was young, I always dislike Romione ship and hate it when that ship was canon at the end). Sorry for my rant.
Thanks so much for your Drarry fics recs! Can, I ask for Drarry fics where Hermione have an important role, too? Oh yeah, between Harry and Draco, who do think is the one who fell first and fell harder?
Hi anon! Iā€™ve never been into Dramione myself, but I feel like the Dramione -> Drarry pipeline is very common in this fandom! I also love Hermione as a character (I donā€™t identify with her as much as I used to as a kid, but I still find her fascinating and love seeing her portrayed as a complex, layered character in fic!). Despite also loving Ron and the ā€œideaā€ of them together, I donā€™t care much for canon straight ships in general so I tend to read her in femslash pairings. Nothing wrong with that, the heart wants what the heart wants :)
Iā€™m reccing some of my favorite Drarry fics with Mione as a relevant character, I hope you enjoy these. As for your last question, Iā€™m super flexible with those headcanons because Iā€™ve read all kinds of tropes and loved them all! Personally, I lean towards the idea that Draco fell first and Harry fell harder ā˜ŗļø what about you??
Intelligence by aideomai (T, 6k)
ā€œI donā€™t believe it,ā€ Ginny said, voice low with venom and fury. ā€œDid you know?ā€ ā€œI knew there was a spy,ā€ Hermione said.
Find The Balance by lauren3210, Obliviate_Amores (M, 15k)
After Harry gives Draco his wand and goes back to using his own, they both start having trouble making them work. Finding out why is a lot simpler than fixing the problem.
Turn From Stone by @harryromper (M, 45k)
Harry knows thereā€™s nothing he can do to stop Hermione (war hero, historian, author of the reissued ā€œHogwarts: A Historyā€) once she sets her mind to something. Even an extremely risky last-ditch effort to restore the ancient castle and lay its newest ghosts to rest. What he wasnā€™t counting on was her insistence that Draco Malfoy be part of the plan.
The Pure and Simple Truth by lettered (G, 65k)
Harry, Draco, and Hermione go to a pub. Harry, Draco, and Pansy go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Pansy, and Hermione go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Hermione and Ron go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Pansyā€•you guessed itā€•go to a pub. I could go on. In fact, I did. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Pansy, Ron, Blaise, Luna, Goyle, Neville, and Theodore Nott go to a pub. In various combinations.
Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love by @aibidil (E, 80k)
In which a group of wizards' rights activists goes on the offensive after a prohibition against love potions, forcing the magical world to confront the horror of magic's role in sexual assault and the murky legal nature of consent. Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Draco are swept together to solve the case, and in the process they're made to confront their own love and lustā€”with and without potions.
Two to Lie and One to Listen by @fluxweeed (E, 85k)
Itā€™s weird when Hermione announces that she and Ron have broken up. Itā€™s weirder when this is followed by the revelation that sheā€™s already moved onā€”and the new object of her affections is Draco Malfoy.
Azoth by @lol-zeitgeistic (E, 88k)
Now that Harry is back at Hogwarts with Hermione for eighth year, he realises that somethingā€™s missing from his life, and it either has to do with Ron, his boggart, Snape, or Malfoy. Furthermore, what, exactly, does it mean when oneā€™s life is defined by the desire to simultaneously impress and annoy a portrait? Harry has no idea; heā€™s too busy trying not to be in love with Malfoy to care.
From Ashes by Caedes12 (E, 150k)
When Draco comes back for eighth year, he starts an unexpected friendship with Hermione Granger. Between his new friendship and his parents kicking him out of the house, Draco's life starts down a new path.

Sorry not sorry to any Knox fans but i needed to rant a lil bit
Be forewarnedā€¦.this is a LONG one guysšŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø
When him and Tess were first introduced i was like ā€œOh well just as long as they donā€™t take too much away from the main story and are likeableā€ (BOY was I wrongšŸ˜Ÿ)
Now donā€™t get me wrong he was a big help at the end of the book by helping transport the scepter. Also when Tess got fairystruck, anyone else thought ā€œhuhā€¦that wasā€¦easy?ā€ AND I GET IT the fairies were probs influenced by the interactions of humans (especially kendra) and were flattered by her costume as well as her age may have helped but it just all felt wayyy too plot convenient..
THEN they started getting their own chapters. Okay. Now im lowkey irritated bc could you IMAGINE if we got a RONODIN pov or one of Warren, Vanessa or Tanu? And i knoww its bc theyā€™re cousins & are important secondary characters (even though the characters i listed are just as, maybe even more important) BUT WHEN I FINISH SETHā€™S CHAPTER I GET ALL EXCITED FOR KENDRAā€™S and then itā€™s one of theirsā€¦ (though the only thing saving it was Newel and Doren tbh) And I have to force myself to finish it bc i donā€™t wanna miss important detailsšŸ˜”
Tumblr media
And this isnā€™t particularly referring to Tess mostly Knox being insufferable but the point still stands!
*ALSO when he killed Remulon (which he did do his big one with that so šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘) Shouldnā€™t he technically NOT have been able to use the unicorn horn since in theory itā€™s impossible to just pick it up bc it attacks the person with magical guilt?? If anyone has the answer to this lmk plz DID I MISS SOMETHING or is this just a plothole??šŸ˜­
Tumblr media
ALSO also when he had the AUDACITY to TRY Seth (even if he was influenced by the crown) while he was ā€œgiant kingā€ talking all that smack as if he didnā€™t injure Newel after being told how DANGEROUS the unforgiving blade was. And Seth just made him eat back up his words with barely any effort I KNOW THATS RIGHTTT I absolutely loved that scenešŸ˜
Tumblr media
ā€¦..And donā€™t even get me STARTED on the whole Obā€œknoxā€ious jokeā€¦.šŸ˜•
Tumblr media
Overall he was helpful and can crack good jokes, when its not corny!! Just *REALLY* annoyingly boastful at times. Tess was tolerable tho. I would add more but this is already long enough as is lol.
But Im curious on other peopleā€™s thoughts on himšŸ¤”

Their kid is getting married but the mother in law from hell who wasn't invited shows up in a wedding dress
she then starts ranting about how humans and monsters shouldn't mix and that skellys kid is an abomination
Undertale Sans - He's so annoyed right now and like everyone, does his best to completely ignore her as she keeps insulting his child. After ten minutes, he gives Greater Dog twenty bucks to lick the woman's face. Now she's running towards the exit, screaming she is going to get infected by monster bacteria or something, and the ceremony can go on. He just winks at his kid to say he got that and to not worry.
Undertale Papyrus - He doesn't want to create a drama but can see you and your new partner getting increasingly distressed because of it, so... Papyrus sacrifices his car for your well-being by driving straight into her car lmao. He then hides his car and just runs inside to say he saw someone bump her car and flee. The lady starts to scream and runs outside to cry about her vehicle and call someone to help with this. Normally, Papyrus would feel a little guilty, but he feels surprisingly happy about that, to the point even his kid thinks it's suspicious lol.
Underswap Sans - Blue is annoyed as hell and then turns absolutely savage as he asks her out of nowhere if she's going to be a racist bitch all night or finally shut her dirty mouth for good. Surprisingly, your partner's mother didn't like that and now she's arguing with him, and Blue is answering her. You're kinda scared they're going to fight physically at some point. Blue is not the most patient person and now he's just frustrated.
Underswap Papyrus - He's so uncomfortable. It's a wedding, it's supposed to be a happy day! First, that woman arrived with the same wedding dress as his baby and he found it very disrespectful, but then she started insulting them??? You don't harass his baby on the best day of their life! Honey gathers some bravery and goes to ask her to leave. The mother-in-law looks him down from head to toe and says no. Honey didn't plan for her to answer him so he just says "ok" and goes to hide behind you like a loser lmao. He tried, sorry.
Underfell Sans - He's trying to listen to the ceremony but his anger is rising at an alarming rate. He tries to ignore her like everyone, but at one point he snaps and just apologizes and drags her out of the room with his magic. He throws her in the pond in front of the church and then goes back inside, feeling much calmer. Please end the wedding quickly before she comes back full-Karen mode.
Underfell Papyrus - He growls at her with his scary face to warn her he's not going to be nice for long and it's very effective. Your mother-in-law starts to sweat, staring nervously at him, but she's silent now. Edge simply puts a crushing hand on her shoulder when she tries to intervene when the priest asks if someone wants to oppose the wedding. By the end of the day, your mother-in-law is terrified of him lol.
Horrortale Sans - Oak can't focus on the ceremony because of her and he's getting more and more annoyed about this. He keeps giving her a long dark stare and twitching a bit, but she keeps going. So he grabs a bench and throws it at her face. Everyone in the room falls silent after that, your mother-in-law included who is too shocked to say another word. The priest hesitantly continues after a few seconds and everyone forgets the incident, Oak included, who pretends he doesn't know what the guy means when he says at the end of the ceremony that he has to pay for that bench.
Horrortale Papyrus - He's already stressing enough about the wedding as he helped to organize it, he's not going to let that lady ruin everything! There's no more room anyway, he made sure to ask everyone at least ten times if they were coming or not. Willow asks her to please leave or he's going to have to call the police to drag her out. Your mom starts to call him names, so Willow just calls the police. He doesn't want to deal with a damn racist on his kid's wedding day. Go to hell!
Swapfell Sans - He agrees, that's an abomination this lady is part of the family, and that's why he starts to threaten her, forcing her to back off in fear. Once he manages to put her outside, he slams the door in her face, shows her his best middle finger, and locks the door. Bye, loser. He's not letting her ruin his precious baby's moment.
Swapfell Papyrus - Rus makes annoying loud noises with his mouth every time she tries to talk just to piss her off and dissuade her to continue. If she persist, he starts to repeat everything she says like a child until she gets mad at him and leaves out of anger. You're welcome.
Fellswap Gold Sans - He can't believe that bitch plagiarized the wedding dress he made for his child. Who do you think you are? You think you can come and take the spotlight from his child without consequence? Now his honor is offended. He's going to fight the lady outside. What do you mean you don't want to fight? You came just for the drama, of course, you want to fight! Wine is not mad, he's furious!
Fellswap Gold Papyrus - He's so uncomfortable, but he thinks it's rude to tell your mother-in-law to leave so... He says nothing? He's a bit scared of her as well actually. When she starts to scream at him for no reason, Coffee pushes her on the floor and runs to hide in the toilets. He doesn't like that lady.

im pretty sure i mentioned all these things before but its too late to start drawing anything and each time i see someone talk about totk i just get sad and frustrated again
literally by FAR the biggest problem about totk is that it REFUSES to connect to botw in any way beyond reusing the same map and character models, and even taking the things botw had established and ruin them entirely
ancient hero? BAM weird sonau dog thing that remains completely unexplained and out of nowhere eight heroine myster- BAM just some guy long gone sonau peopl- BAM here they are and they have zero connection to the ones of botw mystical dragons gracing the skies with their presence- BAM probably some dude who ate a magic pebble once strange mystical nature god you could rarely encounter in one specific spot and the area was made to feel utteraly unsettling but also divine- BAM now hes everywhere and only serves you as a shorthand for man pointing at cave the strange energy all shiekah tech was powered with with certain locations being ones where alot of it was concentrated including beneath hyrule castle clearly stating that somethings up with that- welp theres evil guy donw there but he has zero connection to all that lol
the whole shiekah tech thing, i just- WHY???? LIKE THAT??? there was so much stuff in botw that seemed deliberately placed that there IS more to it and now it all vanished and nothing of that mattered??? i saw a video of someone comparing certain places directly and on some where towers literally broke away tons of debris where just like .. sanded back down like nothing ever happened???; the fuking mechanism of how the towers and shrines and the pillars around the castle worked AND WHAT THE BOTW BOSS ARENA WAS ACTUALLY FOR?? its all gone and replaced with dirt; tHE ANCIENT FUCKING FURNANCES UTTERLY GONE AND REPLACED WITH ROCKS HUH???? so nothing of all that talk about their mystery and mechanism mattered???? the luminous stoens and its connection to spirits and how concentrated spiritual energy might have been what powered the tech- like you could connect things, and they made SENSE, so much sense that that seemed like it was intentionally setting up- only for it all to be just GONE?? to literally say lol it all vanished and that we shouldnt worry about it- like what the FUCK (and it also AGAIN doesnt make sense in itself bc WE SEE GUARDIAN PARTS in the towers, and some parts of them too are made of clearly shiekah tech stuff so it cant all have vanished- all their mystery doesnt matter bc idk it just works i guess lol and its not even called shiekah tech at any point either its just there and also not lol-)
(and even the smaller things like .. where the fuck does link live if everyone treats him like a goddamn stranger in the town you had to buy a house in botw for it to not be demolished and now that house is there but its not yours and noone knows you??? sth i personalyl found strange too that dumsda, the guy you help build an entire town, taburasa, had a very specific talking quirk i loved, and its all just gone in totk too, he talks like any other person all of the sudden
also at the end of botw finally being reunited with zelda and giving you the taste of being in the game WITH her at the same time in the intro to totk- WOOP away she goes! shes your pretty prize at the end and nothing more, what a way to disrespect her and her character..)
imagine if majoras mask didnt have the opening like it has and it otherwise stayed the same and they tried to tell you that its a direct sequel happening exactly where ocarina of time happened in the same world, zelda who?? ganondorf who??? things seem weird and off? lol dont worry about that :)) that would be weird and not make any sense at all now would it??
... sorry going on another rant again, ill just never be able to accept everything from botw didnt actually matter, and despite what some people might say, its pretty hard to ignore totk bc i LOVE botw, and as much as i hate it, they are connected in canon, even if it makes no sense

your worldbuilding for your dreamingverse au is so good i wish i knew everything about the world you're making. i genuinely could read about it for HOURS
Oh that is so sweet! @solar-cycle And who am I to deny your curiosity (I certainly am happy to rant about Dreamingverse)!
MINECRAFT SPECULATIVE LORE?
(Sorry about the lack of image, I was too excited to post and didnā€™t have any ideas jump out at me for what to drawā€¦ next post maybe lol)
Hereā€™s the fundamentals of the Dreamingverse au:
There was, once, two universes. The first, the one you might be able to imagine, was made of matter, of time and space, and was inhabited by advanced civilizations. The other was pure sapience, a sprawling neuronic network that dreamed in its own pathways. They call it the End Before the Beginning, the cataclysmic collision of universes that split and fragmented and recrystallized into a single many faceted prism. And in the wake of this cataclysm, the civilizations of before collapsed. It wasnā€™t an immediate thing, though, but a slow implosion driven out of fear and competition over resources. How were people not meant to be afraid, when the dead were suddenly granted a second waking and the world they knew was ripped apart at the seams? When being born of pure thought, the manifestations of death, destruction, and oblivion were made to walk among them? Humanity downfall was eventually to war and its own nuclear power, and thus began the era of oblivion.
The era of oblivion was marked by the absence of life and the settling of the earth. The newly reborn [universe] was irradiated and barren, made of fractured pockets of tribes and civilizations relearning how to live in their world and hanging on to their lives with white knuckles. If nothing else, this extreme of living incentivized the rapid evolution of genetics, leading to offshoot species in the descendant of humanity, Piglins, Witches, Endr, and more, among them. These offshoots are widely known as ā€œHybridsā€ granted by the universe the qualities of species better suited to their extreme environments.
It is then the Era of Growth and Decay. The plants, as with the undead, are given a sentience of their own, mutated and lively, they are the first to begin recovering from the End, and with them, the deities of these concepts too. Among these plants, Creepers, long, slow-moving creatures of explosive spores, Sculk, Mycelium, Glares, and the Nylium of the Neth.
And in the wake of the plants, the Era of Beasts follow, where animals and their corresponding deities begin to grow bold and awake.
Following at last is the rebirth of civilization. Itā€™s the Neath that takes off first, the early bastions of the Piglin gathering culture and resource in order to begin exploring and inventing, the overworld soon following. And here also, is where the Creators truly emerge. They had existed before in some capacity, sapient beings woven more deeply into the fabric of the universe, able to catch the flitting dreams of the universe and spin it into their own make. Beings with the ability to Construct and Destroy at a scale no Animate could match even with a lifetime of magical and alchemic training. They were revered and despised in often equal measures.
ā€”
Which brings us to the basics of Sapient classifications. To be clear, these lines are not hard or certain, but rather a general categorization.
There are the Animates of course: NPCs essentially (though that feels dismissive) the bulk of the population, living limited lifespans and with little access to magics.
These rest are Creators, broadly speaking:
ā€¦
The so called ā€œPlayers,ā€ generally the children of other Creators, of Animates, or Animates themselves given the powers of Construction and Destruction later in life in one way or another. They tend to be more humanoid, and generally include undead Creators. For along time, they were really the only group of Creator easily accepted by the general population as they were less other.
Then there are the Fae, objects, plants, or animals that are given the gifts of the universe and higher consciousness alongside it.
And then the Constructs; Places awakened and given thought and the capacity to change and move. Often considered god-like in their own right.
And the Deities. Gods sometimes. Beings made of pure thought, concepts personified.
ā€”
Civilization marched onwards, and Creators did not often die. Empires rose, fell, rose again, and over the course of many great wars and eras of peace ā€”from the War With Heaven, to the Rapture of Empires, to Antarcticā€™s Conquestā€” the Universe slowly settled into its Dream and its people into their own.
Ask me about:
- the structure of the universe and the layout of its dimensionsā€¦
- Mechanics, this may be bundled in with the structural stuffā€¦
- Character, lore, and series head-cannons (I may or may not have them yet!)
- The Deities
- The Remnants 0.0
- Anything really, maybe Iā€™ll do some art :3

So I sent this message to @findingcrow
Tumblr media
And I ended up explaining literally all of the emojis. Here they are (in order of explained, not order of how they were put). I spent 3 hours explaining this and it's a LONG post, so, sorry lol
šŸ‘Æā€ā™€ļø-The twins are just a pair of dancers, and I love the vibes of Scar and Grian dancing together in the desert
šŸ«§-The bubbles are because their love has the same vibes as the way a child loves bubbles. The child thinks bubbles are pretty and fun, but often pops them due to a lack of understanding of their fragility
āš–ļø- The scale is a symbol for justice, something that Grian had the intention of bringing to the server, and yet, in the end, he hated following through with it (killing Scar)
šŸŖ¬- The hand is called a hamsa, as far as I'm aware, and is a symbol for protection and guidance, something that Grian offered to Scar throughout the entire time they knew each other
āœØļø- The sparkles are about how attractive and nice their love seemed to Grian, how shiny the prospect of loving Scar was
šŸ’Œ- Well, to me, it feels like keeping his love hidden inside him, leaving only hints of its existence. You cannot read what's inside the envelope until you open it, but the heart implies it was sealed with love. He hides his feelings in the envelope like a letter never meant to be read
šŸ’ƒ- Ok, so, the dancing one is the same as the pair dancing
šŸŒŒ- The galaxy is about his home, as I like to think the Watchers live in sorta in space-ish. I think a lot about Grian routinely going up on the roof in any season of the series and just, staring at the stars. "Oh wow," he'll say, "it's so much more beautiful looking up than down"
šŸ«€- I tend to use the real heart for situations when my love feels, well, *real*, more so than the typical cartoons heart can express. When it feels almost as if the other person is less of a loved one, more of a part of me, like we've become so very intertwined that I can never forget them. I think you can guess why that applies to Scar and Grian
šŸŽ­- The drama masks are, once again, about how he hid his feelings. "No," he said, "I'm not in love. He's just my partner in crime." It's also about how he acted out a personality that fit his needs, too. He always wanted to win, and Scar was a part of that. "I made a deal, I have to live up on it" while he's actively helping kill people, knocking down the number of who he'll have to kill once he's red. In the end, all his actions were for his own gain, but slowly the facade he put on them of being for Scar became real, the mask became his face
šŸ•Æ- And the candles, well, "the light of the server." A candle in the dark. A fire, something so fierce and destructive, becoming passive and helpful. Something so necessary for some. Plus, they're often associated with magic and rituals, a tool for manifestation and summoning and communication. But a fallen candle, a flame forgotten before bed, it can become destructive again. That's what burns down houses, what takes lives. And if it doesn't lose control, it burns, and burns, and keeps burning until all of itself has melted, until it's nothing
āš”ļø- For the swords, I thought mostly of when Grian attacked him. Y'know, "YOU TRAITOR!". #1, I like to think of it as him putting his sword to Scars throat, so swords are obvious there. #2, he also was guarding himself! He trusted Scar, showed him parts of himself he never showed anyone else (maybe even revealed he's a watcher?????), and then Scar KILLED HIM! As part of a stupid game! (Yes I'm aware of the irony there it drives me insane I can rant about that themes about that for so so so so long and the guilt Grian feels for being the cause the games Rzaurskr74us4s4ua). So, obviously, he started to guard his heart, like swords across an entrance
āš°ļø- Coffin is 2 things, first, the way their love died as Scar did. I like to think that Grian tried to bury him a little, Scars final resting place was also the resting place of their love (at least, the final resting place of SCARS love). The second thing is that Scar would sell coffins, remember? But he never got one. He never got what he gave, but he did get everything Grian had
šŸŽ - So, the horse isn't JUST a horse, it's a merry-go-round horse. Y'know, from a carousel? So, in all the seasons, their relationship kinda follows the same main story-beats, right?
ā€¢Early betrayal/beginning of a grudge
ā€¢They're forced to make up, even if just briefly
ā€¢Help each other out with something
ā€¢They fall out again
ā€¢They die (sometimes being the CAUSE of the others death, even if indirect)
It happens again and again.... like how a carousel goes around and around and around. You CHOSE to get on the carousel, Grian, and you can't get off until it's over, you know that, Grian
šŸœ- Anywas, for the desert, well, they're the desert duo
šŸ¦™- For the Llama, don't tell me you forgot about Pizza!
šŸŒ“- Ok the half moon, Let's see how effectively we can put this into words. So it's 2 sides of the moon, right? It's the same thing at its core, the moon, but two entirely separate appearances, light and dark. It's the same thing at its core, a game, but two entirely separate experiences, the player and the creator. 2 sides of the same coin sorta deal, yeah? They both play the game, too, and in my mind, Scar sorta creates the game, too, in his own way. Would Grian have ever stuck around the game the way he did if Scar weren't there? Scar kept things interesting for him, kept him from getting bored. Grian bent and created new rules to make sure Scar had fun, the game was created just as much for Scar as it was for Grian. And again, Grian plays too! Grian has plans blow up in his face, Grian faces punishments of breaking the rules, and despite what the other players may say, Grian lost, too. It's the same thing at its core, a game, unwinnable, but malleable
ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹- The bandaged heart is a bit more on the nose,
I like to think both Grian and Scar were, in some way, hurt when they met. Maybe Grian had become used to the ultimately selfish love of the watchers, and had trouble believing that any other sort of love could exist. Maybe Scar hated his namesake, and wished he could hide it. (Examples, I can't quite decide on what I wanna do with it, lol. But as they grew closer, that changed. Grian began to believe in selflessness, and Scar began to find beauty in every part of him. They bandaged each others wounds and healed each others hearts
šŸ§Ø- So, the dynamite is also pretty obvious, I feel like, like it's Grian. Now I COULD do some sort of deep meaning, pretty easily in fact (blowing up in the emotional way instead of the physical way, losing control of his emotions, once again circling back to "YOU TRAITOR"), but that's really not what I had in mind when I put it there
šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ- The queer flag.... do I need to explain that
šŸ•°- So, the clock is a really cool one, because Grian knew from the very beginning that this would never last. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, he had a timer in the back of his mind, constantly ticking, for when it was all gonna end. It was only ever a matter of time, but he pretended it wasn't. He pretended it would last forever. Maybe, if he hoped for long enough, the clock would stop ticking, but it didn't
ā³ļø- Now, the sand timer has, once again, a very similar meaning. It's a timer till the end of it all, the knowledge that it will always run out, *always*. But he still joins the games, over and over again. He flips the hourglass over and restarts the timer. The sand will keep pouring, it will never change, it will end the same, always

here it comes.. another spop rant on moments i see as mirrored~
~~very sorry but i bet most of you know what to expect from me by now.. i can't stop the spop thoughts. and tbh, i don't wanna lolol <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
**ok adding this note here after typing out what was meant (as usual ofc) to be a rant, sure, but not to the extent of the length it became (they just grow up so fast; such proud, so shame) so if anyone just wants the main idea i managed to succinctly make clear at the very end of all this wordy rambling across various tangents tryna make the same fckin points lmao, just scroll on down lol :)
so a mirror actually reflects reality, except flipped on its vertical axis, right? so the reflection is the same image, but if you look hard enough, you realize it's really an inversion of the original.
that's kinda how i feel about what adora says to catra in the sword pt 2 vs save the cat --
- when adora takes catra's hand after already plainly stating that she's "not going home" and says to her, "come with me, you don't have to go back there..." -
- this is all happening after adora tried to sneak out in the middle of the night w/o even telling catra, who only found out cause she happened to either be awake or wake up when she left~
- and upon catching up w adora and hearing her intentions, catra immediately is like "ok cool, let's go," even sounds kinda stoked on the idea- unsurprising since she fckin hates being in the fright zone. but adora quickly shuts it down, cause she "doesn't want her getting in trouble on my (adora's) behalf"
- but then pivots to asking her to just "cover for her till she gets back," saying she'll be back before anyone knows she's gone. and tbh, the way catra's jaw kinda drops slightly as she watches adora run off, ignoring her whispered calls after her, breaks my fucking heart. you can tell she's legit terrified at the idea of being left there in the fright zone w/o adora, even if it's just for a night.
~~(and tbh, adora ignoring catra's hushed calls after her as she runs off is way too similar for me to s5 when catra, invisible w melog but def still within earshot, ignores adora when she cries out her name at the end of failsafe [and every time i hear it, i can't help imagining how much it must've broke catra in half to keep going after she hears adora do that] šŸ’” my heart can't handle this shit fuuuu)~~
- and then adora doesn't come back the next day. catra had no clue where she was, but still must've thought that if she hadn't come back yet, there had to be a good reason for it - and she tries to refuse shadow weaver's command for her to find adora and bring her back - only to, once again, be abused by sw's magic and threatened if she doesn't comply (so much for not "getting in trouble on my [adora's] behalf")
- so she sets off w a team of soldiers to where sw already knows she is, finds adora, and assumes from the situation that she was taken prisoner by rebels. only to have adora tell her she's found out the horde is evil (which catra justifiably said "duh" to, and was prob pretty hurt to hear adora only figured out after spending a day or two w some rebels; total strangers to catra and adora atm vs the majority of her life spent as catra's best friend; i get the feeling catra thought her and adora were on the same page about that already, since adora had been the sole witness to the worst ways catra herself was treated in the horde since their childhood. [we don't know that yet, but once you do, hindsight's 20/20 bb] )
- so when adora says to her, "come with me, you don't have to go back there -" i can understand how to catra, that must have felt like an afterthought. an offer adora was only extending cause catra had sought her out and found adora herself - rendering it impossible for catra to ever know for sure or not if adora would have come back to try n get her to go w her if she hadn't been forced to find adora in the first place.
- and once we learn later in the season just how close these two were and for how long - and, especially, that the source of the exact words catra says to adora in s1e2 - "because, it doesn't matter what they do, the two of us look out for each other" was adora herself to catra as kids when the promise was first made - well. looking back at that episode and the near instantaneous fission that occurred between them - i would think it would become easier to see how that might happen from catra's pov.
- particularly after she's attacked by adora's new rebel companions and ends up watching some intensely powerful, previously unseen princess decimate their entire squadron - before turning back into adora. who she had just had that whole conversation w only minutes ago. and adora never once bothered to mention the discovery of this new truth about herself to her lifelong best friend. catra just had to watch it happen.
--- OKAY so, i know i ranted toooo much already about that first bit, so i'll try n keep what i see as the reflection of this experience brief as i can (i'ma be so bad at it tho; bet) ---
- in save the cat, adora chooses to go back for catra in spite of what a huge risk it is for her, for everyone who's willing to sneak onto prime's ship w her, and by extension, the rest of the rebellion/etheria/aaannd possibly the entire universe if they fuck it up and can't get back out
*(not-so-quick aside i just gotta make tho to give props af to glimmer for being down for this btw; she's the only one who knows what even just being in prime's presence can feel like; she just barely escaped his clutches but is willing to go right back for catra after what that bitch did for her; she's even willing to be the one who has to walk the ship alone, [i mean tbh, somebody had to babysit entrapta lolol] attempting to find her way back to the holding cells where she was so recently held herself, tryna find catra- so i just gotta give a lil šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ‘šŸ¼ for glimmer y'all)
- but ofc, prime had a nice lil surprise for adora up his sleeve, and brings out chipped catra. forcing them to fight, and very quickly taking the opportunity to let adora know - he doesn't gaf how much catra gets hurt in this fight. and catra can't gaf, no matter how much pain she's being forced to cause herself.
- from the instance early on when adora manages to get catra in a hold that renders her unable to really move much - adora says what, if you ask me, might've made all the difference in the beginning if she'd thought to say it this way:
"i am not leaving without you."
- then catra strains against her hold for another second or two before her head kinda falls and her ears droop (tbh, i always get the sense there's a tiny bit of the real catra reacting to adora saying that to her in those physical responses- just due to their history)
- but then the arm twist. omfg dude - it kinda seems like she was straight up forced by prime to dislocate her shoulder just to get out of the hold - which would explain how horrified adora is when it happens - cause not a single sound or indicator of the pain felt ever escapes catra. even as she goes on fighting, despite the fact that attempting even the slightest motion w an arm that's been dislocated is known to be extremely painful.
...fuck well - true to form, i set out to try n be somewhat brief & succinct; i rlly hoped to keep my thoughts at a somewhat endurable level lol. i should prob stop thinking i'm even capable of it at this point lmao; i just can't stfu lolol rants are my way. sorry bout that fr <3
~~but i did cover my main point, hidden above in all the garble and ramble and twists and turns of my train of thought -
---there's a big difference between:
- hearing "come with me" and not only perceiving it as a slight & an afterthought; but also feeling totally robbed of hope for any kind of confidence that they ever would have come back for you in the first place-
- and having someone be willing to throw caution to the wind cause they want to literally come back for you and tell you they're not leaving without you.

The way substance abuse has been handled on the show thus far genuinely upsets me and reeks of writers who either 1.) don't understand the subject matter they're presenting and haven't done even the bare minimum to research it or, worse, 2.) simply don't care.
Apologies for the slight rant incoming, your comment about how it has been mostly "handled" off-screen got me going because that's 100% true and in that truth is such a missed opportunity for the show. The way it has been handled winds up feeling incredibly shallow and juvenile at the end of the day, especially for a piece of media that is attempting to present itself as "adult" and navigate multiple incredibly sensitive topics. I'll try not to get into my own personal experiences and will speak broadly, but the show uses substance abuse more as a cheap character flaw to poke fun at or something to magically handwave away when it is inconvenient, rather than the life-altering, debilitating illness that it is.
Nothing about Angel's use is ever meaningfully explored. It's so (apparently) unimportant to his arc and development that one rude comment from Husk (a character who ALSO has a problem with gambling and alcohol that is never addressed) is all it takes for him to suddenly "resist temptation" and be shown as "recovered" (unless I'm misremembering). Or was he suddenly going to counseling off-screen too and its just another thing that will be told to us rather than shown? And how does Charlie even handle that at the Hotel (I'd be really interested in this as a moment for her character to have to grow/change too)? Does she even understand substance abuse and the many unaddressed systemic factors that can influence it? Or is the entire recovery process just shame based (because that works so well /s) combined with some more corny trust exercises? Why is this incredibly serious topic relegated to the background as if it's unimportant?
Recovery is hard. It is emotional and exhausting. Withdrawal (depending on what you're coming off of) can sometimes mean excruciating, unimaginable pain and in some cases people literally die. It is not a funny "ha-ha I take drugs because I'm chaotic and wild" quirk to be adored or glorified and it definitely should not be presented as something that can be wrapped up in a month or two off-screen without any development whatsoever. That's just insulting.
When you approach a topic like substance abuse and recovery, I personally feel you need to take in all sides of it. All the missteps that come with it (two steps forward one step back - mistakes are expected and okay), the self-loathing, the guilt and shame, the joy, the sense of freedom, the loss, and the best part of all: the incredibly difficult but liberating journey that is rebuilding your life and learning to love yourself and your body again, once you've chosen to be free and to live life.
Mad props to anyone who has ever battled this disease. You are strong, you are worth it and you are valued. Lol I am so sorry for going off here but I so appreciate you calling out the lack of exploration on this topic in the show. I guess I didn't even realize how annoyed and upset it was making me feel (praying this is coherent...).
This was absolutely coherent donā€™t worry!! Im really glad to see other people talking about this. I myself have not struggled with drug addiction but I have struggled with other kinds and as someone that studies a bunch of medical junk, Iā€™d say Iā€™m decently knowledgeable.
Iā€™m mainly going to focus on Angel for this since heā€™s the main character I write for, but I assure you other characters addictions are also handled in my rewrite.
During the actual canon show, we donā€™t see Angel actually abusing substances that often; thereā€™s a few times, most notably in episode 4, but from the rest of the show onward we hardly see anything. Yes in episode 6 they mentioned relapsing, which, mind you, was done horribly, but I digress. They touch on relapsing; Angel relapses, and thenā€¦ what..??? What happened from that? I donā€™t feel upset or second hand guilt of any kind from this scene because we havenā€™t seen Angelā€™s attempts to stay sobre and off drugs.
His name is fucking Angel Dust. You donā€™t, I dunno, think thatā€™d entail a higher dependency on drugs? Why do you think he named himself that?
About his name before anything else, the show has so much potential later on to talk about Angel picking out his drag name and why he chose that specifically. So much potential to explore how he views drugs and himself. He sees them as an escape and something ā€œfunā€ to take his mind off of his actual life. When you die in a fucking coma and wake up in hell as a spider youā€™re going to want an escape. You will want to ignore reality. I am fully convinced Angel picked his name once he started performing because thats what he needed at the time. He needs to be like that to survive in hell. Angel is an incredibly mentally ill, troubled, traumatised, and unstable person, and being surrounded by so much intense negative influence only amplifies his current problems. I donā€™t mean to drag Vox in here but in my last redesign post I mentioned how very mildly bad people can become even worse people in hell because of the environment and this is no different for Angel. Heā€™s been surrounded by crime and drugs his entire life and unable to live comfortably because of his sexuality. He has very likely been struggling with substances since he was a teen. Possibly even younger. He is not going to suddenly get over his addiction because of something like this. It could pave the way to him looking into dealing with it, but things like this can take years. I donā€™t remember when my addiction started; Iā€™ve been clean for 2 1/2 years now I think, but the amount of relapsing and anguish I experienced while working towards that isnā€™t something that can be done in a few days or months. I still struggle with feeling like I deserve to say Iā€™m recovering.
Iā€™m hoping they tactfully handle this as they should, but my hopes are low. Itā€™s okay to show a character relapsing. Itā€™s okay to show a character feeling guilty. What matters is that the struggle is there to signify theyā€™re trying. For a character with a song called ā€œAddictā€ you really donā€™t see much of it. Drug and alcohol addiction is not a silly thing to just twiddle your fingers with and be like ā€œwell I guess thats over!ā€ Itā€™s incredibly insensitive to do so.
Whenever I write about Angelā€™s struggles with addictions, I focus on how small they can feel until you realise whatā€™s actually happening. Just me talking about my rewrite again, but to get my ideas out here: Angel smokes often. He smokes at the studio when heā€™s stressed, he smokes at the hotel when heā€™s stressed, he smokes at in alleyways when heā€™s bored, thereā€™s almost no location he wonā€™t, but sometimes he tries to smoke less. His lungs arenā€™t the same as humans and technically he has 2 pairs of lungs, but smoking causes him to cough. This is painful in general and especially painful for Angel since he has barbs going down the back of his throat. Imagine choking on sandpaper, kind of like that. Itā€™s painful, he doesnā€™t like the sound, Fat Nuggets REALLY doesnā€™t like the sound, and itā€™s an overall inconvenience, so he tries to stop smoking as much. Periods like this usually go fine for him until the stress returns or he starts to feel the withdrawal. Withdrawal from any sort of addiction is terrible, and in Angelā€™s case, just from not smoking it worsens his mental state further. He becomes irritable and stressed and that stress leads to wanting to smoke again to calm down. He may resist a few times and those times should be praised, but he gives in eventually. One cigarette to calm down becomes two, then three, and before he can process himself getting carried away, the entire pack is gone. Itā€™s things like this that make addiction horrible. Itā€™s something that deeply scared me when I was struggling. When I was struggling I was still in the mindset of ā€œI can stop when I want toā€ and then being so suddenly hit in the face with the realisation that Iā€™m not longer in control of this is terrifying. I could not stop when I wanted to. There were even points where I didnā€™t want to stop. Even just getting the smallest glimpse of this in an incredibly serious manner with Angel Dust would surprise me. To think the bar is this low on a show that seemingly prides itself on tackling such sensitive topics like you said is appalling. Your show shouldnā€™t have to be told how to write itself.

Just say your reply and dam let me say it
Nifty makes me so sad shes everything i love in concept yet her execution kills me; she loves cleaning shes a bug and not only that a old timey bad alien movie inspired
I wish this show was actually about the hotel and that she had gotten the "alastor is allowed to not tell us his backstory because we need a season 2 " treatment, if this show actually follow the premise of redemtion Niffty, V and Angel (heh all bugs) would be the most complex ones and satisfecho ones to write about
V even if i prefer she wasend an exorcist if she n camilla carmine were former winners turned exorcist and them fallen we coul have both sides of going to hell
Angel Hess from the mafia! How how you teden that?? Even if he gets his sould how you fix all the blood or family spill! How did Molly did! (Rip my girls desing wtf she has maneged to look bald n hairly??) Just the journey he would have to go tru a looong road, would charlie put him on the back burner? Would that make him have a relapse?? Would he learn Molly make it hell would that be his motivation? Just this man
NIFTY she is conected to Al and im fascinanted to know why he favors her so much, why shes like this do Al know- does she even know? Its this her cope, was she murder or the murderer ?? Was she too a rasing overlord? Its her past the reason ? How does she feel in general honestly shes done so little in the show but i wanna disect her n know why shes like this so bad
Sorry for the rant n probably bad english just had to get that out my sistem at 1 am lol
Niffty was done dirty by the writers, everyone but her, got character development or a moment that hinted to some sort of character depth (Even if it was shallow).
Why the writers decided to reverse the seasons I have no idea. Charlie finding out Heaven is corrupted doesn't work since the plotline hinges on the audience's investment in her reaction and the cast, but why should we? We don't see the cast trying to actively improve themselves and the show repeatedly tells us sinners are the worst. At this point, it makes no sense for the show to continue the hotel premise because we know Heaven is corrupted now. What's the point, when we already know any effort the cast puts towards redemption will be in vain?
The characters are fulled of mystery and great ideas but the show refuses to explore them. I was surprised by the lack of references at their human backstories. The cast's human lives are why they're in hell and the person they are now. Like, how are we supposed to know Husk's cheesy love for magic came from watching the magic shows in the casinos he grew up in????????? That seems like a very important piece of information to know about his character, considering it's one of the few things he still loves. In that one line alone, we learn so much about Husk and why he turned out to be an alcoholic gambler. At the end of the show despite spending time with characters, I feel like I don't know them as much as I should. I don't know their motivations, beside for Al and Angel we don't see them struggling through their flaws (The show has Husk tell us, writing 101 /sarc), and the show doesn't really explore the cast's relationships with each other or their world. So any potential information we could have learned about them from their interactions through others characters and their environments isn't utilized.
The show just keeps important info locked, tells you character's infos that would have benefited better from showing it, and then except the audiences fill in the missing gaps between info-dumps.
Don't worry about ranting, it's was fun to read and respond too. I understood you just fine.

TODAY WE HAVE EVERYBODYā€™S FAVORITE LURKER..
Tumblr media
Wait.. who is that?
(Squints trying to the magic tv script)
Vlad..
Viladā€¦
VYLAD BOā€™PEEP!
Wait..
ROā€™WEAVE
ROā€™LEAF
ROā€™LEAVE
ROā€™PEEVE
ROā€™TEE
Oh.
ROā€™MEAVE!
VYLAD ROā€™MEAVE!
i have a lot of unanswered asks, lol.
i'm starting with this one.
okay, so, Lr stuff for Vylad, long post, yada yada, look beneath the cut. also, this only applies to LR, not my MyS rewrite, in which Ro'Meave family dynamics are Very Different.
this isn't very eloquent bc im on new meds so sorry about that. just a bit tired, can't focus.
tw, sk stuff, vague references to violence.
Something i want to preface about the Ro'Meaves is that the Ro'Bros are not the only Ro'Meave children. They are the eldest three, and often only ever really the ones acknowledged by their parents, but they're not the only children. Once Garte became invested in the concept of taking over Ru'Aun, he insisted on having as many heirs as possible, and as he only saw Garroth as a viable heir, he did have others. These children were all, however, raised seperate by nurses and nannies, only Garroth, Zane and Vylad were raised by their mother. so they didn't impact the brothers much.
Vylad was Zianna's only lovechild, her eldest two born out of obligation moreso than genuine affection to her husband (Zianna and Garte's marriage was an arranged affair), and so he was, by default, her favourite. Zianna felt very guilty for this, of course, but Garroth and Zane were GARTE's sons, the sons of house Ro'Meave, of O'Khasis, and Vylad was simply hers. Whilst the eldest two got to learn politics and such from tutors their father paid, Zianna would teach Vylad art and music and dance. Sure, they were skills moreso associated with women, but if Vylad was her son, he would raise her as she saw fit. The pair were practically inseperable for most of Vylad's early life, and even as he got older, they were often found together.
This got much of Zane's envy, as he was meant to be their mother's favourite. He was named after her, he was the son who bore the most resemblance to her, and after everything with Vylad, no one was ever quite sure that Zane was Garte's son. Vylad had another parent somewhere, but Zane only had Zianna, and he needed to be her favourite. This didn't matter much when they were kids, since Zane was rather sickly, and so Zianna and Vylad were both often there to tend to him, but when he was older, and had the attention of physicians and nurses instead, he was slightly more bitter, and it drove a wedge between him and Vylad.
Vylad first found out he was a bastard as a result of this bitterness. Zane had started to vy for Garte's attention instead, and as such was subject to one of his father's drunken rambles about 'family embarassments'. to deflect from the sections of his rant about himself, Zane instead focused on the accusations that Vylad was a product of adultery, and Zianna was avoidant but honest when Vylad asked her. None of them had really pieced together that Vylad wasn't their full-brother as Garroth and Zane themselves looked so different from eachother, and tanned skin and curly hair wasn't uncommon among Ro'Meaves, but once they knew it was obvious it was true.
Vylad ended up being a bit of a bard, sneaking out to go and play in taverns, sneaking down to the fighting pits with katelyn to pick pocket and start brawls among the viewers. He was just sort of... a normal teenager.
I won't go too much into what home life was like for the Ro'Meave kids, or into the other heirs that Garte produced, because honestly idk if i'm awake enough to approach that subject as... delicately as it may require.
but, when it comes to how Vylad became an Sk, we have to turn to zane.
I won't go too much into what happened, since it is a weirdly Zane-centric event, despite it being Vylad's death. Also would require trigger warnings i, again, am too tired to delve into rn. But the important thing is that Vylad died the night of Garroth's wedding, not knowing that Garroth had run away, or that Garte had denounced Zane as an heir. He died thinking his family was fine, and the same as it always was, assuming that their lives were going to continue with Garroth becoming Lord, and Zane becoming a member of the Lord Council, as had always been the plan.
Vylad can't remember most of his early years as an SK, just that they were mostly spent in the abyss, and that they were bloodhungry. It's always a risk with turning someone more... magically-inclined. the more magic they have, the more sensitive they are to the change, the more beastly they become. He tries not to dwell on it. he spends most of his time hunting down SKs now, mostly those who gorge themselves, usually for money. It's not glamorous, but at least accepting pay for his kills keeps Gene off of his back about it, since Gene can appreciate the allure of luxury. He mostly just wants to keep moving onwards, focusing on tomorrow, and keep people safe. It's why he takes on The Wanderer as his Saint, as opposed to keeping the Matron, or even Judgement.
But things change when Vylad meets Avra. which is the prologue of LR, so

Hi! Sorry if this has been asked before, but I saw you said you have PCOS and are on T, can I ask about your experiences with the changes and what to expect? (I also have PCOS and want to start T soon! Its been funny reading about some of the early changes on T and being like...oh I've already had that for a while lol)
Iā€™d love to rant about it! It depends on how high your T levels were before testosterone, really. Theyā€™ll take blood tests right before they prescribe you hrt. That way your dosage isnā€™t too high. Too high of a dose could cause blood issues and wacky shit, I was near the higher end of the range considered ā€œnormalā€ for cis women so I only need to take .25 mg each week.
A lot of the effects on T are stuff you probably already have. Hairy ass, acne, even weight distribution. Pcos folks are said to have an ā€œappleā€ shaped body. Thatā€™s just testosterones weight redistribution working itā€™s magic!
Lots of stuff did change, though! My voice got deeper very quickly! From what Iā€™ve seen, it takes months for other trans dudes voice to drop but mine dropped within 3 weeks. Facial hair grew in darker around that same time too. Iā€™m already growing a shitty beard 7 weeks in! Essentially, from the looks of it, my transition timeline is gonna be a lot shorter than other trans dudes.
In a way, itā€™s like my body was waiting for that extra push of testosterone. Like Pcos was this puberty limbo. My cystic acne has decreased. My joint pain has all but disappeared. Brain fog is gone too! Now I canā€™t be sure if itā€™s my pcos being treated or my dysphoria, but either way, itā€™s improved my life tenfold!
I canā€™t guarantee all this will happen to you of course, so let me know how your experience differs once you start! Good luck on your transition homie! Stay safe and enjoy the ride!
