the way bryony halbech was clearly so very out of it and not ready nor prepared to do the task she's been given. and still managed to perform successful surgery and revive a mortally wounded person who was in cryonic preservation for 44 years while still cracking jokes and being so fucking awesome the whole time is genuinely so impressive. I love my horrible unethical science wife sm

when i met pacat i told her that captive prince had changed my life and she laughed and thanked me and it was great….. but seriously how do i explain captive prince changed my life. like i think about damen and laurent every day. when i doodle during meetings i end up writing lamen over and over again. i bought a sapphire ring today bc it reminded me of laurent. i have read all of pacat’s favourite books. i’ve started reading about alexander the great bc pacat based damen off of him. i have multiple copies of these books in languages i don’t know just because. i have never been inclined to write creatively but somehow i’ve written over 500,000 words these last few years. i get butterflies when i think about “i miss you. i miss our conversations.” i—

If I don’t get an intimately sensual scene that’s a call-back to this moment wherein the two of them are in a barely lit room with just the faint glow of a fireplace burning where Benedict brushes his lips against the palm of Sophie’s hand, trailing his lips along her bare skin down the length of her arm and not stopping until he reaches the juncture of her neck where his lips hover for a moment to kiss her right where her pulse flutters and at the brush of his tongue against her skin we see her knees buckle and Benedict wraps his arm tighter around Sophie’s waist to hold her up I might actually lose it in real time

Anyways I'm going to be honest I'm always going to have some sympathy for when people knee jerk "well not all homeschooling is bad" because like, to be fair, a lot of people base their anti-homeschooling position not on anything real (like the rampant abuse & neglect it can facilitate) but on the fact that they think that having any life experience that isn't 100% Normal will make you a freak forever and they hate interacting with freaks.

im sure everyone is familar but i just noticed this and Man...when you're romancing astarion and you've already slept w him before the tiefling party (and u have high approval i think) - you can get this line where you can basically goad him into shooting pickup lines at you. and through the different dialogue options, at one point - he'll say i love you insincerely.

you have like several ways of going about this dialogue, and my tav (this time) chose the option to say "having fun are you?" it was really... interesting... astarion in general has a really tonal way of speaking. and he has a line after you ask this of him, where he says he is and its hard not to with you. and he sounds... genuine.

when astarion is trying to get something out of you, he's always really theatrical but when he's being sincere that quality really Mellows. the pitch in his voice is higher and he speaks less smoothly. ike its hard to get the words out almost. he still has the same like delicate quality in his voice, the same airiness but its noticeably sounds more touched.

but its. interesting. that by that point (in act one before anything happens) that astarion knows really little about you other than you tend to look out for him and that you're capable. but when i consider it from astarions perspective, being with you even in (im)mortal peril and the connection you share is probably the first genuine, tangible connection with another being that he's had in his life or at least for 200 years. completely and entirely his outside of being a spawn.

its by a truthfully fucked up metric, but. he really does have fun with you. like he means that part. something about that is So devastating. because at that point, im sure astarion considers it temporary. he's manipulating you and he's trying to take advantage of you and its not real (so he tells himself over and over.)

except. sometimes it is. and sometimes you tell astarion you'll have each others backs. and sometimes you come back to camp covered in blood and you'll laugh with karlach trying to get it out of your hair and the fireplace is nice and crackling and it smells like smoke.

sometimes you'll trek through the forest and mountains and gale will say something and maybe you'll tease him. and you'll laugh. and so briefly he forgets what he's running from.

astarion will offer you his body because he's hoping you don't realize that's all he has to offer, but you're not expecting anything. there's no price to pay for laying under you except maybe his own guilt.

and even still. even with all the caveats. well its fun. maybe his standards are low, but its fun to be with you in some way. and its masked with so much of his usual poetry but maybe that is more meaningful than an i love you. you make him remember so basic, fun. genuine, silly fun.

he doesn't love you there. not yet. but maybe it is more meaningful for astarion at that stage, to simply admit that he doesn't want to be surrounded by unpleasantness forever. that there is more to getting his freedom than survival being easier. maybe he wants to have fun in ways that aren't drinking himself sick even when he can't taste the alcohol.

you're fun for him to be with..that means more than anything for him there. how do you teach someone who's suffered so much anything other than teeth-gritted, matted fur survival is unfamiliar? except trying to show them that it is fun, and good to be alive?

even if its all a sham. a mirage. well it was fun for astarion. he couldn't even forget that. you have so many of his firsts.

I feel like people misunderstand what liking Namgyu as a character means to me (and I’d say the vast majority of Namgyu enjoyers). I am fully aware he is a murderous junkie psycho with a lack of morals. Yes he’s is still my skrunkle. Do I want him to have a good ending, where he survives and magically reforms and becomes a good person?

NO.

I can’t wait for the fucker to die! His death will be fantastic and at least a little important to the story! Like I’m not sitting around thinking “he’s just a sad little guy with a bad backstory :(((((“, I’m imagining all the interesting ways he could die that would highlight the fate of society in reference to his role as a manipulative, power hungry follower. While it also still acknowledges that his entire life is one controlled by the system. I’m thinking about how spectacularly fucked up his life is for him to make him react the way he does to everything. I’m thinking about how even though he’s a narrative villain, he’s still a part of the same group as everyone else, being a victim of capitalistic society. It doesn’t bring me nearly as much joy to imagine him being happy. I be putting that man in situations.
