#that’s why he would die for them (literally)

[roguerambles]

I understand the disappointment, I really do, but I think people might be blowing the whole world state thing a bit out of proportion. "This is SPITTING IN THE FACE of long-time fans" no it's not Steve, calm down.

The series has always had to compromise when it comes to the state of the world because so many of the choices (especially from the end of Origins) were so wildly different that trying to build a sequel from so many conflicting factors would be more or less impossible. It's why we've never seen the Architect again, because him being alive or dead has HUGE ripple effects that are damn near impossible to write around.

Heck, it was entirely possible for Anders to die at the end of Awakening, but the writers wrote around it by saying "oh no he actually faked his death" even though logically that made very little sense because at that point he'd have absolutely no reason to do that? But Anders was in the sequel so that had to come up with something.

Basically nothing from Dragon Age 2 was important in Inquisition - Hawke siding with Mages or Templars made no difference, Anders being alive or dead made no difference, whether Carver or Bethany were dead or Wardens or whatever made no difference. We got some flavour text and that was literally it, everything else played out exactly the same.

Hell, the Temple of Sacred Ashes gets blown to bits at the beginning of Inquisition, rendering everything to do with that quest from Origins basically moot. And we've never gone back to Orzammar, and everything we have heard from it has been kept super vague, because depending on who the King is and if Branka is still alive there things would look WILDLY different.

It's why I highly doubt we'll be able to side with Solas and help him tear down the Veil because that would result in basically a whole new world being created. Imagine them trying to make Dragon Age 5 and being like "okay 50% sided with Solas and tore the Veil down and 50% kept the Veil intact....wtf now what do we do--?"

Again, I understand the disappointment, but I just hope once the dust has settled and people calm down a bit they'll see that, realistically, very little has changed. Your saves are still there, your experiences and enjoyment of the games and the characters and the story are still there, but they were always gonna have to draw the line SOMEWHERE. And that's not to say none of our previous choices will come back - if we get another game, or a spin off or something they'll probably do what they're doing with the Inquisitor now. They're just taking what's relevant to the story they are trying to tell.

I saw you say you have writers block so feel absolutely zero pressure to do anything with this, it was just a thought I felt like you could appreciate w/ me! I saw a Ron work forever ago (cannot remember the author unfortunately) where he was your bestie and you went on a date and came back unsatisfied from your date/hookup so he took it upon himself to take care of you but can you just for a moment imagine that situation with bestie Theo 🥹

He’s already angry because you’re his girl, and pretty much everyone in the school knows that so he cannot believe the audacity of some boy asking you on a date to begin and then for you to come back teary eyed and frustrated?! He felt like he could kill the guy for it. But obviously he’s not going to leave you like that- he’d never. So he fingers you with his pretty, thick, ringed fingers until you’re so relaxed against the bed that you’re not even sure you could stand. BUT You want more. He’s so hot and god the things he whispered in your ear while he had his fingers inside you were to die for. So you ever so sweetly blink up at him, batting your eyes so cutely, and ask him to pretty please fuck you. And of course, he happily obliges.

Other boys don’t ask you on dates anymore.

Maybe you call him daddy idk I can’t really make up my mind if that would be something he’d rock with or not

oMG I DO APPRECIATE THISSS I LOVE IT

nasty ass Slytherin boys i love toxic and manipulative men 🙏

Because Theo is literally pissed all week, Mattheo keeps making a joke that hes on the rag, because theo is unfocused, smoking constantly, adhd off the wall, shits going down

If the slytherin dorms didnt have stone walls there would 100% be a hole in them.

Regardless, He’s fucking pissed. Especially the day that uou go on the date. Hes staying up all night, pacing in the common room because his ruminating was too loud for his dorm mates, and in you walk, heels in your hand, lips downturned and obviously pissed off.

And omg theo is about to kill a man. Because why the fuck do you look so fucking upset??? Holy shit.

“Bella, whats wrong? What did he do?”

“It’s not what he did, its what he didnt do. Couldn’t do, i guess.”

“Oh?”

“…”

“Oh.”

And i mean. Theo cant just leave his girl hanging, all needy and clearly unsatisfied. He approaches you, slowly, afraid you might run away. He holds your face in one hand, leaning into your ear and promising he’ll make it all better. That he’ll step up as your best friend, this is what friends are for, right?

And god when his lips are kissing down your neck, biting and sucking over the marks your failed date had left, making them his own, you cant even argue.

So its really no surprise when he has you in your bed, your dorm miraculously empty for this time of night, and uour back is to his chest, and his fingers are spreading apart your folds, and he’s mumbling so sweetly in your ear. And fuck its so hood. Its SO good. You’re finishing in now time, pussy spasming around his long fingers, the once cold metal rings now warm and stained with your arousal.

But its not enough. Nothing will ever be enough when it comes to theo. And youre so fucking whiney and pathetic and how coukd theo say no when you practically beg him to fuck you, to fill uou to the brim with his hard, heavy cock.

I mean, he would never have said no anyways.

And so there you are, face down in bed, your tears being kissed away as Theo brings you to release over and over again, your core all puffy and sensitive from overstimulation.

He isn’t stopping until half your neck is purple with his love bites, and hes sucked a makeshift “T” into your shoulder, marking you as his.

MY LITTLE IDIOT

pairing: seungkwan x gn!reader

wc: 0.7k words

warnings: light cursing

“seriously,” you sighed and took off the headphones before looking at seungkwan, “i dont get it. why are you such an idiot?”

seungkwan frowned, took the headphones off of your hands and put them back in his bag, “you could’ve just said you didnt like, yknow? there’s no reason to be rude, yn”, he said in a defensive way while avoiding eye contact with you.

“i never said i didnt like, dont take me wrong. i loved your cover, i think its even better than the last one!”

“then why did you call me idiot? if im an idiot, youre also an idiot!”, he paused before looking at you and raising his voice, “and stupid as well!”

you chuckled and hit his shoulder in a playful way, not surprised by your friends reaction, but finding it quite funny, “because youre so talented, youre wasting potential!”

“what you mean im wasting potential? and how does the fact that you think im talented, which is totally accurate im aware of that, is related to you calling me an idiot out of nowhere?!”

you felt the seriousness in his voice, making your smile slowly drop and you run your fingers through your hair before speaking, “because you can have the world if you want to, seungkwan. but you insist on staying here, why not go to seoul? i know youre able to do that, so why stay in this island?”

“why would i not stay in jeju? i have everything i need here”

hearing that made you groan, you couldnt believe seungkwan actually wanted to stay in the island instead of going to a big city like seoul to pursue his dreams and be able to show off his talent not only to south korea, but to the whole world, “but you wont be as much recognized as you would be if you lived in seoul, dont you agree? the world needs to hear your voice! your vocals arent the kind of vocals to be missed on”

he just shrugged his shoulders, “youre saying that because you dont actually like living here, its not like i dont have social media in my favor”

“of course i dont like here, theres literally nothing to do in here! the view is nice, but we need more, we deserve more… you deserve more. what’s making you stay? if i had the chance like you do, id leave here in a blink of an eye”, you turned your head to look at him, “i really don’t get it”

seungkwan looked back at you before looking at the view in front of him, taking a sight of the beautiful sunset, “you,” he sighed and let out a chuckle, “you make me stay”

you were about to say something, but he didn’t let you, starting to speak before you could say something about his statement, “why would i go somewhere else if youre not going to be there? yes, i love jeju, but i love you more. i wont go anywhere if youre not going with me” he finally looked at you again, your surprise expression made him chuckle, “come on, dont act like you didnt know about my feelings towards you”

“i didnt know!” hearing that made seungkwan roll his eyes, “dont you think there was a reason for me to always cover love songs? maybe it was a subtle hint, but at least it was a hint!”

“not a good one, tho”

seungkwan side eyed you, “anyways. now you know why i dont leave jeju and that i like you, not in a platonic way. and by the way, you dont need to tell me that you like me as well, i already know that”

you raised your eyebrows, shocked by the fact that he knew your deepest secret, the one you never told a single soul about it, “how did you know?!”

“i didnt,” he smiled, “i was bluffing, but now i know that is true”

“youre really an idiot, im dead serious”

he sighed happily and wrapped his arm around your shoulder, “an idiot that you love” he looked at you with a smile on his face, which made you smile as well. he placed a kiss on your temple before looking back to the sky, “we’ll leave jeju together. ill never leave without my little idiot” he ruffled your hair, the act of him messing up your hair made you glance at him, “you want to die, dont you?

[apostaterevolutionary]

I am so sorry, apparently it’s 2024 and I’m arguing about dragon age again lmao. How did I get here! Why is this happening!! Time is a flat circle!!!

Anyway. People can feel how they want about the past games not mattering in this game. If you’re cool with it, I’m happy for you. But there’s one particular argument in defence of this choice that is really, really bothering me and I have to rant

The thing I keep seeing is “well all this other stuff has nothing to do with the main plot or Rook, so it should be cut” and that’s. Not a good way to tell stories in my opinion. Because here’s the thing: it’s not about the Big Overall Plot. It’s about the characters that live in this world, big and small

I’m going to use the example of Varric and Hawke cause I think it’s the easiest to explain quickly. Varric is a storyteller. That’s the defining trait of his character. He tells stories, and sometimes they’re true and sometimes they’re not and sometimes it’s something in between. In DA2 he tells you about his brother. In inquisition, he talks about hawke and there’s banter about several of the companions. Most of these are just little one liners that don’t “serve the overall plot” but they serve Varric’s character

And that matters

So if we take this character known for telling stories about people that have been in his life, well, he largely can’t do that now. How can he talk about Hawke, someone who can be a very close friend of his, without even their gender being a choice you can select? Or whether Varric should be saying ‘is’ or ‘was’ about them? How can he talk about the companions in DA2 or inquisition when a lot of them don’t have to be recruited or can die? Will he limit himself to only characters that are guaranteed to be a part of it and alive? Or is it that he and Rook will have such a shallow relationship that Varric, of all characters, never talks about his life and past exploits?

Or has Varric as a character changed so much that he doesn’t even want to tell stories anymore? That Hawke living or dying means nothing to him? That the friendships he built with people in 2 games mean nothing to him? That he’s become literally unrecognizable?

This is where the problem is. Sure, Rook maybe doesn’t care about these people they’ve never met. But do they care about Varric? What about if a companion mentions an old friend of theirs, talks about an experience they had that made them who they are - is that only okay if that experience isn’t from a previous game? Or are all the characters so flat that we never learn anything about their connections to others outside of Rook? Is this story SO focused on this player character and this plot that NOTHING else matters, even within the world, and there’s no depth to be found in any of the characters that feature in it?

Writing characters so that they only ever talk about things that “directly serve the plot” is how you get flat, unremarkable, boring, forgettable characters. And that’s not something I would have accused bioware of doing even if some instalments are stronger in this area than others. But it sounds like that’s what they’re doing here, at least with the past characters. Cause sure, maybe Morrigan is so closed off she’ll never mention her son and partner. That’s believable, even if iffy given that they’ve said she’s going to be more involved than we think. But Varric? VARRIC??? Never mentioning ANY of the people he used to spend time with and care about except Solas and maybe some of the inquisition characters that can’t die or not be recruited but also carefully skirting around what happened to them in the game? That’s literally not the same character

And I would expand this to like. A letter mentioning this or a codex mentioning that, or ambient dialogue about so and so - that makes the world feel deep and those random, unimportant NPCs feel richer by connecting them to the larger world. It’s not about “serving the plot”, it’s about making your world and characters deep enough that they feel real, lived in, and like something we can actually care about

[captain-sodapop]

In the middle of season 7. Each rewatch, I feel like my focus goes to something new, and this time around, it's really sticking out to me how - because the show presents Sam through the lens of Dean - how Dean thinks there is something inherently wrong with Sam from the start. And that never changes. Like yes, Dean loves Sam, he really does, but but it's always something. If it weren't for the fact that Sam's psychic abilities and the demon blood (things he didn't ask for, by the way) made him different, it would be the simple fact that Sam does not buy into Dean's worldview. When Dean confronted Sam about Amy, when he called Amy a freak, it was heartbreaking to see Sam's hurt reaction to that. If Sam himself weren't dealing with severe mental illness due to his own trauma (which Dean finds freakish), he would be a freak simply by association by empathizing with Amy.

And speaking of Sam's hallucinations and mental health struggles in season 7 in particular (which, Dean obviously has his own struggles that deserve sympathy, but that's not what we're focusing on right now), it's all a repercussion of what Sam has been dealing with since the beginning of the show. We know that Sam has always felt like there was something different about him, and if you take John's journal into account and remember Lucifer showing him all the demons that have been following him his whole life in "Swan Song", then there's always been something...well, supernatural about him. Brady gets possessed, introduces him to Jess, he starts to get visions, he discovers he's psychic and has powers, that he's Lucifer's vessel, that "you didn't need the feather to fly, Dumbo, you had it in you all along"...then he goes to Hell, where his soul is stuck for months, being tortured by Satan himself. And because Cas brought him back without his soul, Dean's trust issues with him continue through season six and into season seven. He doesn't trust that Sam is stable. He doesn't trust that Sam isn't somehow wrong. Somehow a freak.

And it's not fair. It's so sad. You can understand, in a way, why Dean is wary. But Sam didn't ask for any of this. He does bear some responsibility in certain situations, yes, but he was forced into these things, or manipulated, or was simply born that way. There is nothing inherently wrong with the fact that he was born with these abilities.

It goes against Dean's worldview, though. It goes against the idea that his family should be all-in on what they do, that Sam should just fall in line, that the world is black and white and that there is something inherently wrong with people who have these abilities and differences that makes them less than human.

Remember when Sam got pissed at him for not telling him that Jack was planning to die in order to defeat Chuck? And Dean was upset that Sam asked ethical questions? So Sam, who is - according to many, including sometimes his own family - supposedly less than human, is the one asking and confronting these ethical questions, is pushing back against the popular worldview of the people he is associated with, and that pisses them off. They get upset that Sam pushes back. (God, if I'm not careful, I'm going to go into analysis of how Sam's hair represents his resistance.)

Look. Sam is the protagonist of the show. We see him through Dean's eyes, and because of Dean's worldview, the way we see Sam is skewed. And maybe that's the point. Maybe we're supposed to be questioning Dean more than people do. When Sam says in season eight that the trials are "purifying" him, that he always felt as if there was something wrong with him, we shouldn't be agreeing; we should be horrified at the fact that he has gone through life feeling subhuman. We should be questioning the world around him and the community he is a part of that simultaneously seems to detest his very existence.

The guy is literally part of a hostile environment, and every time he tries to break away, he gets guilted back into it. Either he serves the system, or it'll kill him.

Movie Night (NSFW)

Elias x Reader

“Oh my god, why are they going in there?” you asked, curling tighter around your blanket as the protagonists in the horror movie did something characteristically stupid. “They’re gonna die, Elias. I know it!”

Elias did not respond, eyes glued to the screen. He was expecting a jumpscare. He knew it was coming — the ominous music and dark TV screen very neatly leading up to it — but despite all the warnings, he could not tear his gaze away. 

You were not so enthralled, glancing away from the movie to study his expression. His jaw was clenched, his eyes wide, and you were sure fear was gleaming in them. “Are you scared?”

Just then, the antagonist jumped out of nowhere, tackling one of the leads to the ground. She screamed, and Elias startled so violently that some of the popcorn spilled over the edges of the bowl onto his lap. 

You tried to hide your chuckle. 

“That was not funny!” he said, scowling as he picked up the scattered popcorn pieces. “I don’t know how you’re not terrified right now. We’re sleeping with the lights on tonight, that’s for sure.”

“Come on, Elias,” you teased, nudging his shoulder. “What’s so scary about a vampire? I’m sure a lot of people find them rather appealing.”

“I don’t know how anybody could find these bloodsuckers appealing. I mean look. They can’t control their blood lust and will literally drain you to eat. I don’t like being hunted, and the knowledge that all their senses outmatch mine and not even my gun would stop them from killing me is terrifying.”

You rolled your eyes. “Good thing they’re not real then,” you said, popping some popcorn into your mouth. The admission of terror had broken whatever spell of toughness Elias had been adamant to maintain, and now that he knew you knew that he was scared, something told him that he no longer needed to keep up the act of indifference.

He cuddled closer to you, leaning into your side with his cheek squished against your shoulder. The bowl of popcorn was still in his lap, but he snuck both arms around your middle to cling to you as another scary scene approached. He turned his head, sinking further under the blanket as he pressed his face against you and glanced at the television, curious about what would happen next but equally scared of it. 

You smiled faintly, tangling your fingers in his hair and running through it soothingly. “It’s not real, you know,” you whispered, feeling his heart beating painfully hard against your side. “But even if it were, I would protect you from all the vampires of this world, my little star.”

“I’m the gangster here!”

“That’s right, but I can spike their drink with holy water and they’ll disintegrate before you can even search for a wooden stake to pierce their heart.”

He mumbled something intelligible, squeezing you tighter as the vampire eliminated another member of the main cast. 

“What was that?” you asked, leaning your cheek against his head and playing with the strands of hair at the nape of his neck. 

“I said I liked the nickname,” Elias admitted quietly, hiding behind your shoulder as his favorite character succumbed to the vampire’s compulsion. You chuckled, placing a kiss against the top of his head. 

You held him tightly, occasionally munching on the popcorn as the last character of the original quartet pulled down the curtain of the large window in the hallway, and the vampire lit up in flames. 

“Are you still afraid?” you asked, looking at Elias hesitating in the doorway of the bedroom. The light was still on. 

He averted his gaze, his cheeks a tint of pink at this embarrassment. He had never been afraid of the dark. He loved the night and all the beautiful stars it made visible — but tonight, what might lurk in the darkness made his heartbeat quicken uncomfortably. 

“Can we—?” he began, his pride choking him. He could not finish the sentence, but you understood regardless. 

Wordlessly, you clicked on the bedside lamp. “Is this enough?” 

He nodded, turning off the harsh lighting and crawling into bed beside you, the room now dimly lit. Elias snuggled into your side, wrapping an arm around your chest and burying his head in your shoulder. There was a creeping terror within him as if something sinister — a vampire — was lurking in every corner, hidden by every shadow, only waiting to catch him off guard. 

It was silly. He knew that, but fear did not listen to rationality. 

“Are you still afraid, my little star?” you asked, glancing at him. Elias pouted, pulling the covers over his head to hide from the world. You had to suppress a chuckle at his childishness. “Hey, want me to take your mind off of vampires?”

The comforter moved, Elias’ scowl poking out from beneath it to look at you, waiting for your proposition. You smirked, reaching out a hand to brush your thumb over his bottom lip. His eyes widened in understanding.

“Your lips look very kissable,” you stated. 

He was on you in an instant, leaving the comforter to bury his hands in your hair as he connected his lips with yours. Elias was never one to pass up an opportunity to taste you — touch you — no matter the circumstances. You looped your arms around his neck, allowing him to set the pace as you sunk into the soft pillows, melting under his touch.  

“Your lips are salty,” he murmured, giving you another chaste kiss to reexamine his claim. “Salty and sweet.”

“Popcorn,” you answered, looking at him through half-lidded eyes. His kisses left you breathless, aching for more as his lips trailed over your neck, leaving open-mouthed kisses on your throat before traveling to your cleavage. 

You could feel him rubbing against you, his cock hardening more with every inch of skin he kissed — his mind already conjuring up images of your arching back when he thrust into you just right, the sound of your breathy moans spurring him on to make you feel good. He could not believe how lucky he was to have you. 

“May I?” he asked, hands stopping at the waistband of your pyamas. The top had ridden up, and you shivered at his soft touches over the exposed skin of your stomach. 

You nodded eagerly, spreading your legs for him after he pulled them off. 

“Wow,” he breathed, mouth watering at the sight of you. This was not the first time he had seen you like this — far from it — but you stole his breath every time regardless. He would never get used to the way you looked, aching for him. “You’re so gorgeous.”

The comment made you smile, triumphant in this method of distraction from the fear the movie had instilled in him. You wiggled your hips, watching with mirth as his eyes followed your every movement, his cock straining against his pants. 

“Shit, why are you always this pretty?” he groaned, palming himself as his eyes fixed on you. “I can’t wait to be inside you, babe. Can I? God, can I?”

His words made you shiver, already imagining yourself stretching around his cock. You needed him just as bad, the eagerness you could hear in Elias’ little pants as he continued riling himself up reflected in your expression. “Please, yes,”you said, a yelp escaping you as he set his hands on your thighs, spreading your legs more. 

“You’re ready for me, yeah?” he asked, pulling down his pants and boxers to free his cock. He was painfully hard, already leaking from the thought of you clenching around him. Elias positioned himself, kneeling before you as he teased your entrance with his cock. 

Your eyes were squeezed shut, savoring the blissful torture as you fisted the bed sheets. “Elias, please,” you whined, rocking your hips to grind on his cock, impatient for him to enter you. 

“Look at me,” he demanded softly, making your eyes flutter. “I want to look into your eyes when I— ahh—” he moaned, sheathing himself into your warm heat. Your eyes rolled back, your face twisted in an expression of ecstasy as you felt him stretch you out. “When I sink inside,” he finished, taking a moment to ground himself before leaning forward to kiss you again. 

You threw your arms around his neck, losing yourself in the feeling of being joined together like this. Slowly, you began to grind your hips, wordlessly encouraging him to move. 

Elias caught on to it immediately, bracing himself against the mattress as he began thrusting into you. It was divine, feeling his pace pick up as he succumbed to the pleasure. You wrapped your legs around his waist, digging your heels into his lower back and making him go even deeper as his thrusts picked up in intensity. 

Every roll of his hips made you bounce, your thoughts and breath slowly slipping away until all you could do was pant and moan and wonder absentmindedly which parts of your insides were getting bruised by his cock slamming into them deliciously. 

“Take me— so well,” he said, placing a hand on your waist to pull you back onto his cock, making your toes curl as the pleasure coiling in your lower stomach climbed to its high. “So fucking— mhm— so good— ah!”

You could feel him twitching inside you. Your hold on him tightened as you clenched around him, coming undone with a cry of his name. He wrapped his arms around your chest, clinging to you tightly as he went over the edge, his face buried in your shoulder to muffle his moans. 

You were still trembling, thighs shaking from the intensity of your orgasm. Something told you that there would be an ache deep inside you that made walking a little uncomfortable tomorrow, but that thought felt far away as you brushed Elias’ black strands from his slick-covered forehead. 

“Do you want to take a bath?” you asked, ignoring the gentle pull of your eyelids that beckoned you to sleep. 

Elias still had you gathered in his arms. “Yeah,” he whispered, kissing your shoulder delicately. “I’ll run it in a minute. Just let me hold you for a while longer.”

Abigail should be allowed to say she wasn't prepared to have Jack or did not want him at the time.

TW: Pregnancy, abortion mention, child mortality mention, death during pregnancy mention. People criticize John for not caring for Jack --- as they should! However, when it comes to the idea of whether John wanted him or not, he gets a free pass in comparison to Abigail, who is always demonized. This leads to how women are viewed in society. Why is it so evil that a woman says that she's not ready to have a child or didn't want one? Because of 1950s and earlier notions that women HAVE to be in the home? Ideas that conservatives still try to force down women's throats? Abigail was 18, for God's sake. She was JUST rescued from a brothel. She finally had freedom for the first time in her life. (She was literally either in the orphanage, living on the streets, or working in the brothels.) Most 18 year olds aren't ready to have children ----even if times were different back then. Just because women did have children back then at 18 or younger, doesn't mean they were ready or that they wanted to. She had just fallen in love, she finally had people that cared for her. She was doing what she was GOOD at. Hosea canonically praises her as the best thief/conwoman and actress he has EVER known. I have the audio link as proof if anyone wants it. That was all taken away from her the second she found she was pregnant. Massive amounts of women died, and by 1900 - 30 percent of children died before their first birthday. (hence what likely happened with the Marston baby, but I have my theories on what happened there in another post.) Those numbers would have been WORSE in 1895 and Abigail was living in a TENT most of this time. Can you imagine being pregnant, constantly on the move and giving birth with only the possibility of a roof above your head? Abigail would have grown up seeing the women in the brothels handle pregnancy. She would have seen the fear in those women's eyes. The hopelessness. She would have seen those try to perform abortions or women die during childbirth - or be kicked out of the brothel for becoming pregnant in the first place. Also, Abigail lost her status once she became pregnant. She couldn't provide for the gang in the same way. She didn't have John's support. Grimshaw canonically doesn't like her and Bessie is dead at this point. She has no woman who cares about her. Then Jack came and she was treated like a burden - a charity case to everyone but Hosea and probably Arthur. Single women in the 1890s, especially illiterate ones with zero prospects were almost never accepted. Abigail also might have dealt with post partum depression, too. Abigail talks about how she's always wanted a family, but she also talks about how frustrated she is with Jack and how she wishes she had help. She talks about how the gang views her and outside of Tilly and Hosea, hardly anyone ever talks to her...at all. Sadie is extremely busy and there aren't any conversations between them outside of chapter 2. Most of the camp doesn't. She's completely isolated and considered a source of drama. Abigail had everything to lose, including her life. So why is she demonized?

Spoilers Danganronpa Despair Time. You fuckers are pissing me off.

Having to read about how horrible Hu, Nico and especially Veronika are when they are in the same situation as Ace is certainly a thing. Like i kinda get Nico and Hu even though i disagree, but VERONIKA LITERALLY WAS HIM TELLING HIM NOT TO BE A JERK IF HE DON'T WANT TO DIE, WHY IS SHE BEING DRAGGED UNDER THE BUS? SHE WAS HELPING HIM AND HE DID NOT LISTENED TO HER.

Also attacking Nico while defending Ace killing Arei as he is "human" is hypocritical. Nico was also human, the secret was a motive for murder and Ace chose to try to blackmail and bullying them. The whole point of it was encourage them to kill, anyone with half a brain cell would realize that messing with it would end badly. But Ace is understandable, Nico is not.

Ace treating everyone like shit and helping Hu become mentally unstable is looked at sideways, but Hu treating him the same way is make her probably the anti-christ, worst character on the game. Ace becoming mentally unstable and aggressive because of the killing game is understandable, Hu is not.

I don't want to be one of those people who screams "uh, not liking these characters makes you a bigot", but the double standard regarding how Ace is treated compared to other characters is pretty obvious here, especially since Ace himself admits that he killed Arei out of selfish motivation.

I think Ace's motivation for killing is understandable and quite complex, I don't doubt that in his place I would do the same thing, but fuck, you guys seem to want to make a gray situation black and white because your fave is the one dying.

- We're off to an awful start, cutting off your finger for a man who doesn't even respect you or your child. I had a feeling I wouldn't like him. These women lowkey seem brainwashed, too, and a little unwilling in the first panel.

- Wait so I was right about gun being half korean then, or is this a mistranslation? His mother's name is Korean, I started to think that Gun Park was his Korean name that was given to him after his legal Japanese neame.

- Honestly, Gun being born a full-fledged fighter was a joke. I didn't think it would happen.

"I already have a name, though."

- He looked so confused when his mother slapped him because he was too young to understand. I don't like seeing children get abused.☹️

" You're the hope of Yamazaki syndicate. And you're also my hope."

- What happened to those women who couldn't birth a UI child?

"And their leader's an elementary schooler?"

- Please ptj, be for real right now😭💀

"You did very well."

- Girl teaching your own child to hit you, please, what happened to self-respect, all for a man who's sulking over a loss. I can guarantee yall that he started the fight with Gapryong, too, because as much as Gap was a total cheater, he still cared about injustice.

"I understand, but I will never give up. I will wait for you to look back at me."

- Girl stand up.

"Someone who protected my mind...he ws the first to embrace me."

- The only sane person, meaning he'll die very soon

"Repay the humiliation Gapryong's gang put us through..."

- So their only purpose is that? I get that pride is a big thing for these guys, but like😟

"...even if that person is my son."

- I hope he doesn't have anymore children.

"...I'll be free of the Yamazaki." " I pity you."

- My heart goes out to Haruto. Imagine living every day pretending to be ok with the fact that your father doesn't value you.

- Where is his body? What if he did survive but hid himself away? What if one of the workers who was supposed to dispose of his body saved him? (Let me be delusional pls)

- I honestly didn't think ptj ate with the " I didn't cry because I never learned how to be sad" line. Sadness isn't something you learn. It just comes to you. I know he's trying to portray how detached Gun is from his emotional side, but this wasn't it. If someone you cared about died like that in front of you, you would feel something.

- Why do none of those yakuza leaders ever wear clothes in meetings? I know they can afford them.

- He literally ripped them apart. No wonder his wife seemed unbothered in the bath.

- Clearly, Gun isn't the firstborn. He's just someone who has the potential to be the head. With how easy it was for them to get rid of Haruto, it makes me wonder what happened to the other women who birthed Gun's half siblings. Were they sent home with their child? Were they sent home without their child? Were the children killed, or are they being used for something else? Were the women killed for not birthing a UI child?

I have a theory. I think something had happened between Gun and his father that led to Gun using his Korean name instead, maybe to rebel against his father or something who knows. But this something happened before the fall of the Magami clan. I also think Gun's father acknowledged him after this fight.

He can’t look at either of them. Hermione shifts, the floorboards creaking the only noise in the room. Ron clears his throat. “Replace every time Harry’s mentioned ‘short film’ with ‘porn video,’ and you’ll get it.” Hermione’s small oh is mortifying.  “Wait, you went to Draco’s dorm room to watch his porn together? And you’re still wondering if he’s into you?” “Um. Not quite?” Harry says, chancing a look at her. She has her ‘ you are quite thick’ expression on. “But if I told you what we… actually did… I think I might literally die again.” “You said you didn’t sleep together.” “Uh huh.” “So you didn’t make a porn video.” “Can we talk about literally anything else? Want to talk about my nightmares? Because that would be less horrible than this.”  “So you see why Harry can’t make a move, right? Because he’s Draco’s client, technically, and it would be inappropriate if Harry pushed.” “Harry, what could be so embarrassing that isn’t having sex with Draco Malfoy?” Hermione asks. “There’s only so many things you could do in a dorm room. Did you do drugs?”  Harry lets out a slightly hysterical laugh.

This fic stuck out to me from @hd-fan-fair's excellent selection last year. It is hilarious but has so much heart as well. This is no down-and-out Draco, he's proud to be a sex worker. He's hot and Harry's into it. @toxik-angel writes pithy chat and text exchanges between the two that had me laughing out loud. As a bonus, I recorded the podfic version for @hptransfest this year and I'm really proud of it.

You know what guys…

I just watched this teaser for the final episode, and of course I am thrilled and blown away by Sauron's maniac face telling he is gonna rape his preciousssss eat Galadriel alive

oh fuck help me i can´t

BUT

I still have something to say. Like okay, i get it, all this unspoken sexual tension and stuff between them, and kinda obvious crazy thirst for her in his creepy face - all could be fine by me except the one tiny detail. What we can see more in this teaser is another freaking kiss that is going to happen this time between Isildur and his girl sorry I forgot her name,

so what’s really pissing me off is that so far we would have 4 kisses in the show and basically these are 4 KISSES NO ONE ACTUALLY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT.

1. Harfoots. Who cares about the hobbits kissing scene? Like what the hell was it for? Does someone for real ship them? Was this kiss important to the story?

Fucking NO.

2. Elrond and Galadriel. Totally unnecessary. No one expected this and no one would want this to happen actually. Especially considering the fact he eventually just put the key into her hand without any special use of his mouth required.

Okay I get it can explained he wanted to distract the orcs, but anyway, somehow the writers did came up with this particular idea!

3. Arondir and Bronwin. Totally fine by me except she´s dead now.

4. Now Isildur and Estrid (I remembered the name).

At first I was blind enough watching the teaser to think it was Halbrand so I got a mini stroke.

Pretty sure once we will see Elendil/Miriel kissing too. Of course I do not mind any of these kisses happening, I even ship some of them but still these are not something the whole fandom is waiting for.

There is literally only one kiss EVERYONE is expecting. Not only the haladriel shippers, but everyone (some might want it to happen, some might not, but it would not be a surprise for anyone) since in fact nobody has ever asked for Saurondriel in the first place, it was totally up to the showrunners to literally just start pushing this ship into our throats from their first meeting using all scrupulously planned moments between them throughout the season 1 and countless hints and moments of nostalgia in the season 2! God, they even invented the whole Mirdania character just to prove Sauron´s feelings (and of course to show his cruelty later, but thats not the point)

guess where the kiss should have happened if they hadn't been interrupted

The writers made this ship up consciously and intentionally. THEY HAVE BEEN FEEDING US WITH HALADRIEL SINCE THE BEGINING,

So why the fuck this couple which has always been promoted in such obvious way is the only one that is not likely to get a goddamn kiss?! At this point i would rather believe that even Stranger and Nori would kiss, but not Saurondriel.

This is disturbing. BECAUSE EXCUSE ME WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT 2 MORE YEARS to get the s3. I am not still quite sure though cause there is still no official announcement on s3

So, they all have already messed up enough with the original plot by putting some of the kisses mentioned above in the series, so why just not let also Saurondriel finally happen? What difference would it make anyway? none! all plot holes will all be fixed thanks to impossibility to fix sauron.

I am just fed up with another 'LETS TOUCH THE DARKNESS TOGETHER', "NO NEVER', 'DIE BECAUSE OF ME', BLABLA...

It needs something better to get us screaming and making views to the show.

I'm back with more Yuri :D

Flirting is easy. Flirting is really easy. Mizuki makes it look easy, he's always flirting with the guests in the bar. Patients also seem to Jiro is flirting with them, though his assistant always denies it.

He scribbles question marks all over his notebook, genuinely wondering how one flirts. He would ask Kusanagi but talking to an ex-Frostheim parasite? He'd rather die thrice. Sitting beside a current Frostheim student would turn his brain into mush, the students of Frostheim need brain transplants. They make even Rank-C anomalies look smart.

Though, he doesn't mind how his brain turns into mush every time he sees you. "What a strange person," He huffs, a small smile adorning his face.

From beside Yuri, Kaito tugs at Luca's collar, the transfer student sitting in front of him. "Can we shift seats? He's seriously creeping me out." He whisper-yells but Luca shakes his head, frowning at Kaito.

"That's not nice, Kaito. He's still your classmate, you can get along." He should've selected another class. Why did he have to end up in the same elective class as Luca and Yuri?!

Today was his lucky day! He didn't see a single Frosthiem student, Kaito doesn't exist, and he gets to see you! He needs to know your name and needs to flirt with you.

As he stares at you, following you into the hallway. 'They're too beautiful. No, beautiful isn't even closet describing them,' He drops his books too deep in thought about you.

At the sound, you turn around to see none other than Yuri Isami, the mad scientist of Mortkranken!?

'Should I help him? He'll be fine right?' You watch as he picks up one paper and it somehow falls to the ground again.

'Yeah, he needs help,' You ultimately decide, walking up to him and crouching to pick up his books. However, your entire self is wondering why he's not picking them up and just watching you!?

Passing the books back, you flash him a smile before getting up.

"You," You hum, gesturing him to go on. "Have you gotten all your flu shots?" In the shadows, a certain grim reaper has to stop himself from laughing.

"Excuse me??" He repeats the question, turning more embarrassed as the second passes, "I have...?"

"Good." He nods, walking past you while humming something loudly. You swear you can hear wedding bells go off in his mind.

"What the actual fuck am I hearing right now?" Leo cringes at the conversation. He was sitting by the bushes to get some peace and quiet but he heard the Mortkranken doctor have literal zero game?!

He's definitely not going to get the person he has a crush on.

[asuuneseastar]

I'm very confused why people call Sanji a misogynist.

Misogynist means to hate women. He's literally the opposite. He loves women so much that he would rather die than hit them and gets enraged when he sees them mistreated. If anything, he's misandrist with the way he acts towards men. I might say he's sexist only because he's often quite shallow and so easily infatuated with pretty ladies. A better term to call him is womanizer or playboy.

The guy has a lot of issues, such as latent toxic masculinity and perverted behavior, but he definitely respects women a lot better than the average shonen pervert character that tends to grope girls and look up skirts. Maybe I just have high tolerance to horny behavior in fictional characters.

[magpie-come-east]

Morgott for the character ask meme!

favorite thing about them

What drew me to him in the first place is how much I related to his character. When I was a religious teen I hated myself so much. I hated my appearance. I hated being a woman. I was in a constant loop of thinking of myself as this terrible waste of space that couldn't get anything right. Just damned to fuck up my entire life and then die and go to hell. Morgott isn't quite so pathetic as I was at 16-17 lol, but I saw a lot of my struggles in him. He believes he is born cursed, that no matter what he does he will be rejected by the Erdtree- an aspect of his religion and God- when he dies. He is misguided at best and vile at worst, but I completely understand why he is the way his is.

Also,

He's gorgeous

least favorite thing about them

The giant scabby looking red bump on his head is kinda gross : (

He doesn't return Mohg's calls enough : (

I wish he had more voice lines : (

I mean, maybe this is a cop-out, but there's pretty much nothing I dislike about Morgott. I love his lore, his fights, his stunning good looks (sans red bump). He's a remarkably fascinating character that has tragic and heroic aspects to him while also being a flawed and a worthy antagonist.

favorite line

"Have it writ upon thy meager grave: Felled by King Morgott, Last of all Kings." (A stone-cold reveal? Sexy voice acting? He hates the player so much it makes him look stupid hot?)

Shout out to "Whose hand graspeth thy leash, I wonder?" It's a cut line but it's Ummph

brOTP

Morgott and Mohg. The literal brothers of all time.

The importance and closeness of twin relationships is prevalent throughout the game. You cannot tell me Morgott and Mohg weren't once so, so close. They are amazing foils, too! Both of them exemplifying the extremes they were driven to by their upbringing. Neither have experienced good and healthy love, thus they search for it in unfortunate places. Both of them grew believing they were monsters, and both behave differently in consequence- with Morgott clinging to servitude and humility and suppression and with Mohg embracing everything being a monster entails. I love it.

I think they still care for one another a lot. Their ideologies just strain their bond.

OTP

Morgott x Tarnished or Morgott x Oleg

Please read Oleg's ash description if you haven't. That man was murdering for Morgott for the love of the game.

nOTP

Morgott x Mohg (romantic)

They're just better as brothers.

random headcanon

I have... many headcanons.

Morgott hates Rykard because he envies Carian siblings for being welcomed into Marika's lineage while he was rejected as her 'firstborn' (shhhh Messmer shhhh). Rykard also figured out he was Omen before the war and offered Morgott amnesty and allyship. Morgott was so offended he resented Rykard forever for it.

Morgott hired Oleg to help him secure his throne in the early days of his power. After all, he was an unheard-of Demigod that showed up out of nowhere to make himself King. He probably faced a lot of pushback. Oleg was there to kill the dissenters! (And kiss Morgott)

Morgott used the mimic veil to appear human to Leyndell. His cover story for his sudden appearance was that he was exiled with Godfrey to the Badlands as a young child. When Godwyn died Queen Marika called him back to the Lands Between, having earned his Grace. Thus, he took the moniker Grace-Given. (Ironically, this would make King Morgott semi-Tarnished in his own story).

Morgott was friends with Godrick before he took to grafting. Godrick was weak in body despite being a member of the Golden Lineage, and Morgott felt some kinship with Godrick's struggles with self-image and his lackluster presence as a scion of Marika.

unpopular opinion

I find it a little disappointing that in most fics where he is a central, vital character he ends up as the mere consort to the Tarnished Elden Lord. I know SOTE told us irrevocably that Godhood is not good at all for mortal vessels. But I kinda wish Morgott was allowed to be Elden Lord or a God more often. I find it cathartic when a person so spurned by the church and God of their faith is made into something holy and powerful.

Also, I think Morgott was the eldest child of the Golden Lineage, and that Godwyn never really knew him.

Morgott is definitely not a virgin.

I always HCed that Magical Universe has very loose laws, especially when it comes to childcare and inheritance. And it is a combination of modern and antique standards. Good news? If you're born out of wedlock? It's fine! Only one parent? Fine! You are not a bastard because of it. Where's the catch? Your parents need to *give* you your last name. It can be mom's, dad's, both or a combination, it doesn't matter, but it is not automatically given to you. And if your parent doesn't do that, it is as good as (literally, it's legally that way) as them disowning you. They washed their hands of ya. Good luck babe. They can also take away your name at any time, yes even as an adult. And no, you can't just keep using it. If your last name was Smith, and you pissed your mom off so badly she took it back, you can't go to the city hall and have your last name be Smith again. It can by Smythe, Johnson or Pineapple, but not Smith. Also, as a parent, you're not obligated to give your kids to the state if you're done with them. You can just leave em somewhere, so long as they don't carry your last name. Meaning if a woman (Riven's mom) came back into the kid's (Riven's) life, he has no legal case against her for child abandonment and endangerment. Same goes for inheritance- if you are a bastard, and your parents die, you are literally the LAST person to get anything. A great great uncle trice removed and once tossed through a catapult has a bigger claim on the inheritance than you do. I was toying with the idea that even if there is literally no other petitioners you don't get anything bc clearly your parents hated you, but I also have a big reason why in Magic Dimension personal property is almost NEVER seized by the government, so yeah, I'm not putting that in. But why is it never seized by the government? Bc I want to kill Darcy and have Riven inherit her shit. Inheritance laws are kids over siblings and spouses over siblings and commonlaw marriage counts. Now I'm not sure what would make Riven be counted as her widower (maybe she dies saving him or sum?) but bc it is magic and I can do whatever I want, the finer points can wait. But anyways, she dies and Riven gets her money, her estate, and her title (in my HC trix are minor nobility. Very minor, but it still counts). Also Icy would be fucking furious lol.

[phoenixcatch7]

Okay but it's super interesting how

Din = Power = Ganondorf

Naryu = Wisdom = Zelda

Farore = Courage = Link.

Because Din, in the hylian creation myth, created the physical world. Naryu then created the laws - gravity, time, etc. And Farore finally created life - plants and people.

Din created the body, naryu the mind, Farore the soul.

And the triforce and its wielders so perfectly reflect that.

Ganon is physical power, he is big and intimidating and he breaks things. He is cunning and determined, but that's not what he focuses on. He is might makes right.

Zelda is wisdom and cleverness. She is stall tactics and information and team work. She is a powerful mage with a spine of steel, but that's not how she'll win. She is the pen being mightier than the sword.

Link is courage and persistence. He is the wild card sneaking behind enemy ranks, always moving, plunging into terrifying situations head first. He's a phenomenal fighter with a keen wit, but that's not what will get him through his challenges. He is bravery not being the absence of fear but the triumph over it.

They sit in perfect parallels to each other.

And ganon is reborn through his body - his resurrection is immortality. No matter how low he is cast, as long as he has a body he can claw his way back. He can cling to his power, build it ever higher.

Zelda is reborn through the magic of her bloodline. It's the accumulated knowledge handed down for generations, the unique power she must master, the skills she must develop to survive and get her kingdom out the other side intact. Even her name, the knowledge of herself, is handed down from all the way from the very first. Her ancestors knowledge of her future presence, her stability, is what gives her the edge.

Link is reborn in spirit. He is not bound by flesh or blood. Just like his wanderlust soul he can reappear in any time or place. His variation, his unpredictability, is exactly how he fights. It's what makes him so hard to pin down.

Ganons need to build strength means he can't chase after link. Links impulsiveness means zelda can outwit him. Zeldas stationary predictability means she's an easy target for ganon.

But the other direction?

Fire melts ice, ice redirects lightning, lightning burns fire.

And that's the very essence of the triforce.
