Who could blame Pent for imagining forming a pact to be a little steamier than signing legal documents????

"Edith? My most darling girl, what's the matter?"

. . .

Robert, are you fucking kidding me? After "poor old Edith", after "what a dreadful thought that we're stuck with her into our old age", after "she doesn't have as many advantages as [Mary]", after "don't do that with the car-driving; you're probably no good at it", after "don't do that with the writing; they are only hiring you for your name since you have no skills to speak of", after "I don't like that crippled boyfriend of yours", after "I don't like that common-born boyfriend of yours"... Now you're suddenly playing the loving father and emotional support? Where was that when Edith was growing up with an inferiority complex as big as Mary's ego?

Deadmeat Rem AU

We've seen Twin Swap AUs & recently, I've thrown my own hat (re: Purple Hyacinth AU) into the loop. However, upon rereading @lost-technology's Survivor's Guilt fic & going through our dms, I propose a more unorthodox role swap prompt:

AU where Vash & Rem swap places.

Vash is a Plant engineer who became a SEEDS navigator after losing Alex (he can be Vash's bf or relative in this AU). He's there when Tesla is born & has to live on after her (murder) death (which was his fault, he should've been better, should've done more, fought harder, they were gifted an angel & they slaughtered her). He's the goofy dad who's there through the twin's formative years, desperately trying to be better because he knows his best isn't & never will be enough.

And okay, I'm spitballing a bit here, but imagine: how would this impact Rem? The poignancy of her character comes from her role as much as her personality. In canon, she seemed to be an only child, so how would having Nai as an older brother affect her? How would she handle the Humanoid Typhoon's role? We, as the audience have only known canon!Rem through the 1 year Vash spent with her & snippets of her past, so how would her 150 year life span go?

Or if you want to shake things up further, maybe Nai & Tesla swap roles too. Maybe Nai is the one born first. A boy Plant who could produce metallic material, a weapon at worst & a tool at best. They name him Knives so no one forgets that & Vash nicknames him Nai to say 'no, I do NOT agree with that!'.

Thus, Tesla (maybe with electricity powers??) is the one who decides to end humanity because god forbid women commit crimes /j. Is this is also lowkey inspired by @shelternmberone's Roleswap AU? Yes. GIVE US MORE VILLAIN TESLA AUS!

If you want to go another mile: maybe Luida & Brad take Meryl & Milly/Roberto's places as Ship 3's residents & investigative reporters/insurance agents respectively.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, the sky's the limit rlly, which is the whole point of AUs like this.

funny how under a tweet concerning the clusterfuck of a team that alpine (then renault) is, most of the replies are ‘no wonder Alonso and Piastri left at the first opportunity’ when apparently Daniel Ricciardo was chasing money and was unfaithful when he left the team at the end of his contract

>Sophie has taken to calling Suletta “Big Sister”

>Sophie calls her army of plushies family but she doesn’t seem to put any effort into maintaining them

>During the festival Sophie casually replaces one of them with a haro she’s taken a liking to, implying that this special treatment as family only lasts until she finds something new to catch her eye at which point the old "family member” is discarded.

I have concerns for Suletta and what happens once Sophie gets bored with her.

Charlotte hadn’t spoken to Kimberly for over a week, which was quite the feat considering they share a room! She also invited over a new friend from school, Greta, to complain about her annoying sisters and how she couldn’t wait to graduate and get out of Newcrest. Greta was a great listener. Angus who?

What is Revallen's second least problem?

SECOND LEAST.... what a specific one 🤔 i like it

In terms of heirarchy I think the Biggest problem he has to deal with is corypheus, followed by the inquisition, followed by his guilt over leaving his daughter in Lavellan. Then it gets into personal issues like guilt over the death of his wife, and guilt over not being able to give his daughter the peaceful life he knew as a child...

the least of these various issues in terms of what weighs on his mind would be the guilt he feels at not being able to live up to the reputation that his father set. His father was an extremely gifted tree mage, an adahl'elaran, who could make even the strongest hardwoods walk and move to his whim - in contrast, Revallen is a pyromancer, and if he tries to control the trees like his father did, they burn. He will always have that distance from his father's teachings; but his father also taught him to embrace his own power for what it is, so it's not so much a pressing guilt as a fact of life.

Just above that, and below the other guilts, so "second least" as you put it, is his guilt over leaving behind his birth clan. He left them with his daughter after his wife was killed; typical grief response of trying to get a new start. BUT, crucially, he was their Keeper. He was the heart of his clan, and though he is imperfect as anyone else, he had a duty to them that he could not fulfill. He wasn't thinking clearly when he left, so he had no First, and had no one prepared to step up in his place. They would have been thrown into chaos. But his daughter has been his priority since his wife's death, so it didn't occur to him until the damage was done.

If he were still in Lavellan, it would weigh quite heavily on him, and he might even have gone back to try to repair the damage. But now, as Inquisitor? He has too big of a target on his back to return to his daughter, let alone the clan they left behind; it'd be too dangerous, too unfair to put them in harm's way like that.

Got a one-shot in the works (almost done) about protective big brother/babysitter Steve and messily grieving, angry, spiraling Dustin. Just need energy to post and tag.

The Family Ouroboros

"a long line of bloody succession, each killer another's victim"

[edit: added the banners and text :)]

something something bite the child your raise/damn the innocent/cycles of trauma/general not having fun.

"So terrified of your failure in this terrible world, he re-enacts his scars, his wounds that taught him to survive."

"a long line of bloody succession, people only connected by those in between them, each killer another's victim" is the fuller quote, from an unpublished poem of mine
