Sorry to say but Vi’s arc has been robbed at the end. Her whole character arc was suppose to freed herself from the chains of her responsabilities towards her family and especially her sister Jinx. But at the end Jinx robbed her agency once again by faking her death and leave. The entire thing is bad writing for me. Vi at the end never got to make a real choice, it seems to some extent that she is almost there with Caitlyn by circunstances just like at the beginning of season 2. There is no character growth. The whole s*x scene was supposed to exist to make Vi finally realize that her sister prevent her to make her own choices, but then why at the end a real conversation between her and her sister never have occured ? And one where Vi has finally to make her own choice for the first time and so decide to stay in Piltover, which would have make sense since she recognize Jinx doesn’t need her/her help anymore in act 2 ? They just wanted to go super tragic but with Isha death in act 2 Jinx « death » doesn’t have the same impact, no one buy it, and it also doesn’t have any sense regarding Jinx arc and mentality. Sorry but for me the ending was ruined in regards of the way the writers handled the sisters.

The fuck did I do to deserve this ask?

thought you’d want to know @syneester made an animatic for you guys! You should totally check them out on yt by searching up their tag!

HAHA, no worries no worries, you're good!

Not gonna lie, I think we owe about 90% of our new readership to @syneester and the absolutely incredible TAMN animatic they made for us. We STILL can't get over how good it is. Every time I open up YouTube it's the first suggested video on the front page, and EVERY time I'm like "well it'd be a shame NOT to watch it again." I'm obsessed <3 <3 <3 🔒

[helly-ena]

I think I kind of see what your prior anon meant though is like…yes they are together but only for now, only while they run. He had the autonomy to choose her but there’s no narrative that makes sense where the core four just continue working at Lumon. It only makes sense for them to either be murdered by Lumon, erased by Lumon and their chips set back to 0, or fired by Lumon and it’s just the outies- Mark killed Drummond and freed Gemma. MDR is no longer needed. Helly and Dylan staged a coup. They’re 10 minutes running down that hall, while beautiful- it’s all they’ll probably ever get. It’s much much worse for BOTH of them that he didn’t just run.

nonniesssss while i'm kinda honoured that you're coming to my askbox.... there really are better people to direct these thoughts to 😅 but i'll try my best. anyone else feel free to add your thoughts lol. but anyway, maybe it's the objectively worse outcome but i'd say mark and helly would both disagree that it's worse for them personally and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

august slipped away (into a moment of time)

taylor swift reference sorry im unoriginal

i am so sorry for this btw this is mt first time writing for tighnari if it doesnt sound like him at all do not continue to read it and hold it against me forever 😁🫶😋😝

lee!aether

ler!tighnari

(theres not alot of tickling but um. 💔)

Tighnari sighed as he looked at the other, who was currently laid out on the small cot they kept in the infirmary. He thanked the archons that Collei had found the well-known Traveller on the paths of the forest momentarily after he had passed out. He was waiting for him to awake before he did any serious examinations, but from what he saw from glancing along the vital areas he could say with confidence he’ll be fine. (Atleast, that's what he told a worried Collei..)

His ears straightened up immediately when he heard Aether stirr, his eyes fluttering half open with a groan. He moved to sit up, too quickly he may add, pressing a hand to his temple.

Tighnari stood up and moved over to his side, gently placing a hand on his shoulder to steady the fragile figure. “Hey, easy..” he murmured soothingly, his voice filled with concern. “Collei tells me you took quite a fall. Are you dizzy at all?”

Aether paused for a second, processing the recent events. “..um, a bit, I think?"

The fox thought for a moment, before reaching for the cup of water he had prepared when the other was brought in. “Here, take a sip. It’ll help with the lingering dizziness.”

“Thanks..” The blonde spoke, taking the glass with both hands in fear it’ll spill. He took a slow sip, blinking away the blurriness in his eyes. Tighnari nodded, taking the glass back with ease. “Now.. more importantly, do you remember what happened?”

“Yeah, it.. just..- sorry.” He chuckled, trying to speak and form his thoughts into words at the same time. He was still adjusting, after all. “I was looking for materials, these flowers. I think I just stood up too fast, and I started to see black dots.. yknow?”

Tighnari listened attentively, his brows furrowing with concern as he pieced together what happened. “Hm.. I’ve heard that a few times, actually. Well.. that isn’t surprising, because I assure you I’ve heard it all.”

Aether laughed softly, “I’m sure you have, ‘nari.” As he was talking, he shifted himself to sit facing the other.

“But.. It sounds like you're describing a combination of a sudden change of position and low blood sugar. Can I ask the last time you’ve eaten?”

“I-.. huh.” He began to speak before cutting himself off, thinking for a moment. “Yesterday.. midday-ish?”

Tighnari sighed, his ears twitching. “Now, that plays a part of the problem. You have to make sure you're taking care of yourself before you go out on your adventures, or things like this happen.”

“In my defence, I wasn’t ad-.. Okay, okay.” He paused when he looked up to see Tighnari staring at him with a specific look, putting his hands up in defence.

“So, what now? You’ve given me your little lecture, I'm not dizzy anymore.. I can go, right?” He said as he let his arms fall to his sides, leaning forward a bit.

“Hah, funny.” Tighnari half-scoffed, standing up straight before continuing. “I still have to make sure you're completely okay, physically. It's one of the many, many rules here.”

“Is that necessary? I mean.. aren’t you a botanist?” Aether tilted his head in confusion, a part of him trying to convince Tighnari to forget about the technicalities.

“Oh trust me, I know.” He huffed, turning to pick up a piece of paper behind him. “I majored in botany, and helping people grow a brain is not my area of expertise.”

“Rude, but fair.” Is all he replied with, watching as the fox turned back around with the said paper in his hands as he skimmed the information. “So.. You fell, which means I have to check your head, and limbs. Fun, right?”

“I’m ecstatic right now, can’t you tell?” Aether said in a deadpanned tone, glancing off for a second before returning his attention to the other. “Yeah? Well, maybe It’ll convince you to take better care of yourself.”

“Okay.. tilt your head down for me.” Not giving him a chance to reply to his comment, he carded a hand through the other hand in search of any dried blood or cuts. “A headache is to be expected.. but are you experiencing any other sort of pain?”

“Not really.” He shifted slightly, but stayed mostly still. “If you mess my hair up, you're redoing it.”

Tighnari simply laughed at his comment, rolling his eyes. “Uhuh..” However, Aether barely heard him and was more focused on his hand. The soft touch travelled to the back of his head, dangerously close to the back of his neck. In response, his back tensed up as he tilted his head back up. “Sohorry- it just felt weird.”

The other looked at him with a knowing look, a smug smile forming on his face. “Just weird?” He asked, before picking up the paper again and jotting something down. “Mhm.”

“I’m sure.. put your arms out.” Aether did as he was told, holding his arms out with his wrists facing up. “Any pain?”

“No- ow!” He yelped, pulling his arm back as soon as Tighnari began gently squeezing starting from the top. “Okay, a little pain.."

“Hm..” He hummed, inspecting the area. “It’s only a bruise, no need to fret.”

“I wasn’t, you just scared the shit out of me-hah! - Nahari!” He yelped as he felt a hand squeeze his side, jolting back. “Watch your language, I’m not sure where Collei is.”

“Obviously not here- wait! Sorry, I'm sohorry!” he gasped as the hand inched closer again, causing him to giggle in anticipation.

“That's what I thought. Now, stay still. You're squirming a awful lot for somebody who wants this over and done with.” Tighnari said smugly, continuing down his arms before leading them to lay down to his torso.

“Everything seems okay.. Can you stand?” He moved back so the traveller could get up, watching as he stood with ease. “Hm.. No, don't think so.” Aether replied, looking at Tighnari with a faked look of confusion.

“You're hilarious.” All the other said in response, rolling his eyes half-heartedly. “I know, right? Am I as funny as Cyno, Tighnari?”

“hah.. you're just as immature as he can be, Aether.”

“But you still laughed~” Aether teased, crossing his arms over his chest with that stupid, smug smile on his face.

“I can think of a couple of ways to make you join me.” He said in a calm and collected tone, watching as the other stuttered slightly at his words. “Oh, so now you're a comedian?”

“Did you think that I’m joking?” Tighnari looked up with that glint in his eyes, before writing a few more things down that Aether couldn’t be bothered to snoop at.

“Annd.. done. You're free to go.”

“..What?”

“I said you're done. Apologies for holding you up.” He said, folding the paper and setting it on the chair. “But you said that-..”

“What? Were you expecting something, perhaps?” Aether huffed under his breath, glancing away momentarily to collect himself. “Tighnari.”

With a laugh, Tighnari rolled his eyes and took a step closer. “I’m kidding, I'm kidding.. come here."

“..Stop looking at me like that.” He replied but still took a step forward. “Well, you just asked me to tickle you, so I have to look at you some way.”

“I did nohot-!” He yelped softly when he felt sharp nails scratching up his hips, unfortunately Tighnari was careful not to dig into him.. which in response just produced a barely-there tingling sensation.

He flinched forward, deciding if he was gonna end up falling over he’d drag the fox down with him. After jolting into the other’s hold, he pressed his face into hiding. this is his fault after all. Him and his stupid nails, and smug smile.. Aether was gonna get him back, just.. not right now. Convenient, right?

“Don't deny it,” He laughed softly at Aether’s attempt, pressing his thumb into the back of his ribs as his fingers wiggled into the front of the bones. “You definitely did.”

“Thahats- nohot fair! Yohour a liar! Lying!” He wailed, his frantic giggled morphing into intoxicating laughter at the change of spots. “No need to be so defensive.. Laughing is good for you, actually. When you laugh, it relieves your stress re-”

“I dohohon’t cahahare!” Aether cut him off, his hands finding Tighnari’s wrists and holding them in place. Tighnari simply sighed, before moving his nails to spider down his stomach. The movement resulted in a sudden cackle, ceasing any backtalk entirely.

“As I was saying before I was interrupted..” He said with a tone of fake annoyance, before continuing to speak on the matter. It only lasted a minute, maybe two, before Aether pushed at his chest as hard as he could in his position.

“so- oh, hello again. What's so funny?” He asked with a knowing tone, stilling his hands momentarily. “I.. hahahahate yohohou..” He giggles, taking in heavy breaths of air.

“I’m sure you do.” Tighnari chuckled, “but here you are."

“sahahadly, yes.” He sighed happily, his relief cut off before the soft touch started up again and scribbled along his mid-back and up his spine.

The gentle sensation sent shivers through his body, rocking himself left to right slightly to try and rid of them. "yohohour nails ahare hohorible, by the wahay."

"For you, maybe. I can see why, it would be a lot bearable if they were shorter." Tighnari assessed, drawing soft circles with his fingertips.

"noho shihit," Aether replied sassily, but his rapid giggling made sure it came off with no ill intent.

Soon enough the fingers came to a stop, replaced with a palm rubbing the ghost tickles away. "Hm.. Well, I can't let you laugh too hard.. you could get lightheaded. You've had enough, surely?"

"yohour cruehehel.. yes."

[ishgardian-nights]

Has your OC ever had their heart broken? Have they ever truly recovered?

I answered this for Emil so I’ll answer it for Ahlain this time! (Ahlain skirts ffxiv lore a bit so forgive me)

Twice and no.

Ahlain was, a thousand years ago, extremely fond of a knight who served as his companion and rider. It’s important to mention Ahlain is a dragon. Don’t be weird. He is a child of Ratatoskr, specifically, and served, for a while, as one of many dragon and knight duos that patrolled and guarded the lands Dravanians and elezen shared. It was mostly a perfunctory assignment at best- who in their right mind would threaten them, and also, who else was there to do so?

That said, he formed a strong bond with the knight he rode with, Bayard. The man was killed during the chaos directly following Ratatoskr’s murder, when Nidhogg declared war on Thordan’s people. Ahlain- Syn Ahl, at the time- did not side with the elezen, but also recognized that most of them were innocent of their king’s actions. Perhaps due to his working so closely with them, he sympathized with the elezen trying to flee and flew with Bayard in their defense. To make a long story short Bayard, a mortal he might have loved, in the way only eternal things can love the ephemeral, died. And he was cursed to walk the world as a man for siding with men.

Many many many years later he met a maid in Tailfeather who was confident and mouthy and entirely unafraid of the tall dark stranger that had stumbled upon her. Maybe living as a mortal for so long allowed him to feel the fleeting feelings they feel more keenly than he did as a Dravanian. Maybe she was simply that captivating. She was certainly tolerant of his oddities. Several years passed before Ahlain realized the thought of losing her as he had Bayard was more than he could stand and he vanished, unaware she bore him a son, and returned some decades later to find she had died. He was devastated all over again. Perhaps more so, being as he had loved her as a mortal does. He sees her in their son and it’s a bittersweet sight.

Being as Ahlain is a dragon, even if he is trapped in a mortal form, he will never recover from the losses. They will remain as fresh and hurt as keenly as the day they began, thus how time flows for his kind. Still, he considers it a worthy price for their love.

[helen-norvilles-female-rage]

it crossed my mind out of nowhere so i thought i might drop a quick ask: how’s the fringe watch going? >:3

Ooooh that’s such a delightful question and one I’m very happy to answer, thank you! 🖤 I’ve been exhausted and eager to talk about the show so it’s going to be a bit of a long incoherent brain dump I’m afraid

So I’m on s2e06 and my enjoyment only grows! The more I get to know Olivia, Peter and Walter the more attached to them I get :’) poor Olivia is suffering more than Jesus did, someone give her a vacation 😭 And that’s not even mentioning the fact that she’s going to be replaced by an alternative universe version of herself soon 😭

But yeah, Olivia… Oh how we love an extremely competent relentless female character with a tragic backstory that is constantly put in Situations…. I hope they’ll explain how she ended up being experimented on because I have questions……. And yes she keeps bewitching me as fucking expected. And did I mention Anna is great? Anna is really. Really. Great.

I also really like the exploration of damaged father/son relationship they’re doing, that’s definitely not something that happens in media a lot and John and Joshua play it so well. John is crazy good in general. So fucked up and simultaneously so touching.

And what’s up with the bowling alley guy??? I don’t trust him and I don’t trust Nina Sharp get away from Olivia you’re scaring me!!!!

I care less about the sci-fi and “monster of the week”/procedural aspects of the show if I’m completely honest (generally not my cup of tea unless it’s Doctor Who lol), but it’s easily compensated for by the three main characters (especially Olivia and Walter).

Also I saw a gifset which paralleled Olivia/Peter and Helly R./Mark S. and that’s SUCH a delicious dynamic, I can’t wait for s3 (at least I think that’s when it happens in Fringe)

Just a sidenote but it’s so funny to see younger versions of actors I know from other stuff pop up, like Ebon Moss-Bachrach from The Bear and Simone Kessell from Yellowjackets. And when Meghan Markle was there I completely lost it because I haven’t seen any of her acting but know her from her marriage with Harry. Michael Cerveris from Mindhunter gets a special shout-out for obvious reasons lol, as stoic and as bald as ever (the way they cover his eyebrows is hilarious). Aaaaaand seeing John on Severance was wild!!!!!!

p.s. sorry I haven’t answered the thingy you tagged me in yet, I haven’t had the time/energy but I want to and definitely will!!

[claramullner]

…holy fuck. Welcome back, Clara. Seems I’m not the only ghost around here anymore.

( @grandpas-afterlife )

!!

Old Mr. [REDACTED]!!!

You are stuck here?

How did you beat the system again?

[magdaclaire]

we as a society need to be more abundantly clear about the fact that nothing a stranger does in public will ever be as cringe as you filming a stranger in public in front of God and everyone and posting it without their consent

[synesthete-sylke]

more people should ship scott and mumbo. i have so many thoughts on them they would be so good for each other

they're so silly, honestly-

feel free to try and convert me lol i think they'd be cute, esp with how scott flirts with everyone and mumbo just crumples under any compliments

[syngularitysyn]

I really do have to thank you for the supercut you made. I'm sure that was a lot of work! I can't tell you how many times I said out loud to various friends "I wish there was a supercut for Caitlyn and Vi specifically" aND NOW THERE IS. Amazing stuff, super grateful, a thousand beautiful flower petals rain down upon you 🫳💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Thank you for the lovely message 🥰 I really appreciate it!

It was a lot of work indeed, especially since I had issues with the season 1 videos. I knew ahead of time it probably wouldn't get a lot of traction because the whole show is very good and most people will opt for a full re-watch instead of watching a supercut (I will too probably). But I think a supercut is a good resource for writing fic and character analysis. I know making it already put a few things in better perspective for me. It hits different seeing their arcs as a two-part movie without any distractions <3

[ace-malarky]

Happy STS! (only one day late, I am improving!)

What's something your character would never give up, that they would fight to the death to keep. Can be an item, person, trait, belief, whatever suits your fancy.

Bonus question, how would they cope if it was taken by something they had no power against?

Happy STS! so proud of you <3

So my immediate thought was shapeshifter wip bc of course Halliel and Syn would fight to the death for each other, they just have. different ways of going about it lmao

mm if the other was taken by something they had no power against...

Halliel would immediately start planning, and pull everyone in to help her. The revolution starts with them etc etc, she has no problem being the face of it. She likes people to know she's coming for them. She's never going to be defeatist about it and she's not going to give up unless whatever's holding Syn actively has a knife to their throat in front of her (and even then, she's planning for contingencies)

Syn is sneaking in on their own and refusing to let anyone else get involved even if they're begging to help. They operate best on their own and they're less likely to get caught, and if everything goes to plan then no one is going to know they were there and they'll walk out the front door with Halliel. If nothing goes to plan? Syn trades themself in in a heartbeat. They've walked in unnoticed and someone's gonna walk right back out

[synamartia]

Just letting yall know I'm gonna combine all nine parts of Smutmus into a singular story (director's cut and part ten included). Working on it right now~! Get everything you might need for the next few hours cause you won't be able to walk when Alastor and I are done with you 😈😈💋❤️‍🔥

[synthleeius]

did you fucking die or smth

no i just feel like im gonna be burned at the stake if i post a fic after like a year

[syn0vial]

YES. YES. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
