Now having read some of the older books of Alexandra Rowland I have concluded that they started slowly slipping in more and more feral, wild, goofy comedy bits until finally we got “Running Close to the Wind” and “Yield Under Great Persuasion” and honestly what a hero. Those are so fun and absolutely unparalleled in published fiction.

My main flaw with how I characterize Kaeya in my head is that he doesn't actually hate being a knight. He gripes like any adult gripes about their job, but the reason he hasn't left to pursue literally anything else in Teyvat is his ingrained cultural trait of loyalty.

Not to a god, but to his friends, his community. He's needed in Mondstadt; needed as a strategist, diplomat, and administrative head of an organization of civil servants.

I can't help but compare his actions with Capitano's account of his allegiance to Natlan (more specifically the masters of the night wind) or even Arle with Fontaine, though she like Kaeya is contemporary. Or perhaps most critically, the Dahri of Sumeru.

Kaeya, as distant as his ties to Khaenri'ah are, still embodies their shared trait in supporting humanity, no matter their allegiances or faiths, in times of crisis. He's already paid his price to be here, now he's making the most of it, even if he likes to pretend he's not.

Still the same boy who scrubbed wine casks 'til his hands bled for someone else's punishment.

Document: The Traitor

(Or my personal take on the player in Pressure's Game Lore)

M-██████ - Codename: The Traitor, is a specifically made variant of M-████ made by Mr.█████ for the Blacksite Mission. (See document █████████ for more information)

Infected individuals by this variant are called Sleepers.

It has been modified to only find suitable Sleepers signed under the EXR-P unit. In the case of its current Sleeper dying, it will infect another EXR-P.

It is oblivious to its change of Sleepers, viewing its next run with its new Sleeper as another life. Though it does not grasp the concept that death is permanent and not reversible, viewing its next life as a normal phenomenon.

Due to its natural inclination to seek knowledge and take everything it can, it tends to gather all loose assets and all valuable equipment it can carry.

It excretes a colorless and odorless gas that Sleepers exhale, attracting Z-V06 when concentrated in an enclosed area, like lockers.

However, Sleepers inhaling this gas for too long in an enclosed area showcases symptoms of cleithrophobia and causes the Sleeper to leave the enclosed area immediately.

The smoke Z-283-Chainsmoker emits exacerbates this symptom.

As motivation for it to kill its current Sleeper before it can reach the Crystal, Mr.█████ has made a way to give it more information about the facility and its hazards when it changes Sleepers through the usage of the Saboteur's abilities.

It's shown to be effective during the early stages. Though currently, an unfortunate side effect of this action is that it now seeks out to survive until at least room 50 in order to meet the Saboteur.

[In the case that it reaches the Crystal, it will naturally make its current Sleeper fall down to their death before they can take the Crystal.

However, in its perspective, it believes that it actually took the Crystal and had to survive more rooms before it could 'win' thanks to Mr.█████'s abilities.

Depending on how it performs in this illusion, it will either meet the Saboteur as always when it 'dies' or transfer directly to another EXR-P unit thinking that it 'won'.]

Document: █████████

M-████ - Codename: █████████, are entities found in the █████████████ capable of entering the minds of people, taking root in the victim's brain to control their entire nervous system.

However, it is incapable of feeling the pain its infected individual experiences, leading their victim to be more susceptible to injury without being able properly treating it since it lacks proper self-preservation instincts.

Infected individuals lose autonomy on their own body, making them incapable of moving or talking. They remain conscious and self-aware even if infected severely, only retaining their capability to have their own thoughts and mind.

Dissections of the infected individuals showcases signs of brain damage left behind from a bright metallic-like substance, almost akin to mercury. Though most individuals have survived and recovered after being infected and released.

Transmission of unmodified M-████ is unpredictable as it is not traceable through any physical means. Though observations from known infected subjects showcase that key individuals in an infected subject's life can be more susceptible to being infected by M-████ as well.

One thing that is known about M-████ is that it has a natural inclination for seeking knowledge and taking everything it can, sometimes to the expense of the individual it has infected.

If someone you know suddenly developed an interest in exploration and/or asking invasive questions regardless of your closeness with the individual, contact ███████████████ immediately.

just got reminded of david oakes personally telling me that neil jordan deliberately screwed over juan at the end of his arc and completely downplayed how he went beyond the intent of the characters at first, or to quote david, juan became a "victim" of neil's imagination lmaoo

[front-facing-pokemon]

it's me. I'm the vanillite lover.

OKAY everyone is killing me over this. i don't even REMEMBER being so mean in those tags when i queued it up like two weeks ago but damn was i harsh. i'm SORRY to all the vanillite fans it really does look cute in that image. although i do still think it would be cool if it was a ghost-type. someone also mentioned apparently in pokémon canon, vanillite came before ice cream cones, which. fuckin i ain't gonna fact check that bc i love that idea. especially in the section of the pokémon universe where pokémon don't say their own names and we had to call them that. folks just called it vanillite because they thought it Might be vanilla flavored. and then they made ice cream vanilla because of vanillite. fucking sure dude i love that

and as per tradition:

[drunkonimagination]

It’s not even that I dislike jinx dying but I think 1) they needed to set it up better by focusing on vi and jinx a little bit more and 2) not then cop out and have it be a fake death. IMO.

I gotta give black sails it's flowers for having multiple bisexual poly relationships, mmf AND ffm at that lol

The first was such a delightful and unexpected twist that really puts a new light onto the entire thesis of the show, and then the second was literally one of my fav dynamics in the entire series, they were my favs and all got together??? Usually this only happens in indulgent fic, but not this time!!

(also something high-key funny (in a sad way) that it kinda starts as 'I'm so co-dependant I need you to hold my hand while I hook up with someone else that I was dubiously cheating on u with 🥺' and then they became a power throuple)
