A part of me wonders why I fw silco so much and don't with caitlyn (I feel neutral about her), and maybe it's internalized misogyny. Bc while they are both bad in different ways, I can understand silco more/sympathize with his movement oddly enough. And while i also understand that cait is grieving the way she goes full on mask of facist over her mothers death kinda made me roll my eyes (emphasis on kinda) bc in my head I'm just thinking "well now you experience what zaunites go through by your men's hands every single day, you finally directly got to see the fruit of the institution you put no thought into. For these zaunites your enforcership mean life or death. For you, it was just a simple set of orders. " As soon as those things go awry, she turns to dogwhistles. She literally gasses out and terrorizes civilians. She's given a whole knew set of facistic equipment-the language, the hatred, and even the outfit. She turns into every piltie and abandons her empathy. And a part of me wants to get it. Wants to see that she lost someone so important to her and that this is an outburst, but idk I can't. Not when her outburst results in the death of so many.

With silco, I think I can sympathize more on the notion that I've seen revolutionaries like him. In pursuit of something beneficial, they turn to accelerationist ideals, hoping that by causing friction, it'll spark enough reaction for zauns independence. I get that though process, seen in the leftist kinda spaces I'm in, and I know where that comes from. The yearning of something is better now because at least you want to see it while you're still alive. While your loved ones are still here so you can enjoy it together. The only thing I dislike heavily is his hand in shimmer production, and even then, I can only think someone like him wouldn't exist without the hands of enforcers. Without piltovers oppressive resistance. If silco-if vander- if any of these people were rolled different dice and born in a much more kinder world that didn't stomp and divide them simply for what is effectively their zipcode. Forcing them into extremely dangerous labor, disease, and addiction.

I can see how that gets twisted and dulled down amd how at a certain point it just feels like a pursuit of your own happiness till the systems you also creat blow up in your face.

They have a lot or parallels in that sense

Idk I just kinda hate most piltie characters with the exception of mel and jayce otherwise fuck em.

leon and sayaka. tthe doomed duo

leon is the ultimate punk rock musician. he started his band in middle school and got unexpectedly popular

had been living a high life as a star for a while but is starting to burn out on it. hasn't done a concert in a while. has gained a little weight during his down time

is kind of worried that he's losing his touch, and will end up aimless and adrift like so many famous people after too long

sayaka is the ultimate news announcer. she wanted to be an idol but in trying to make the connections to get into the industry, she landed a role as a news announcer instead

has had a very fruitful career, and is very popular. she's good at delivering information clearly while conveying the right mood to the audience

says she feels completely and totally fulfilled in her title

I’m like, 90% sure you talked about this before, but the pure VITRIOL in Mario’s face right before he punches bowser in the ending fight when they get the star is still something I can’t fully get over. Especially in how it almost becomes comical in comparison to Luigi’s more sternly determined expression. Like Mario wants this man turtle? DEAD.

Side note: I just gotta say, I have been LOVING ur “Luigi goes on his own adventure with his arch nemesis King Boo while Mario is kidnapped by said arch nemesis” so much! Seriously, it’s such a treat. The way you characterize everyone, the plot, and just the wonderful way you tie everything together!! Ahhh!!! It’s so good!

Thank you! I'm having a good time writing that AU, and what better way to pass the time until we get that Mario Movie sequel? But back to what you were saying... yes, I LOVE that look on Mario's face. It's personal for both of them, but for Mario it is super duper extra personal. Luigi's mostly just defending his sibling while getting a bit of payback, but Mario has seen firsthand all the damage Bowser does and everything/everyone he threatens. That, plus the fact that he held his brother captive for days and nearly killed him? Mario is ready to obliterate.

Another tiny detail: the difference in their facial expressions right after the punch

Luigi maintains a determined expression. Mario is grinning from ear to ear. It's pretty clear who's enjoying this beatdown more.

Hey I’m new to the LMK fandom, why do so many people ship Sun Wukong and Macaque??

A lot of people like the hurt/comfort potential because of their backstory and because they’re just really good counterparts lol. Macaque even makes a whole play about their past relationship, which is where a lot of that fuel for the ship comes from and the whole “the hero and the warrior were like the sun and the moon” spiel that people love using for shits and giggles. There’s also a really strong enemies to lovers sentiment and i think it’s kinda sweet

Personally, I just really like riffing off the divorced energy. To me, these idiots would rather beat the shit out of each other than make up and I really really eat that up. Not just as a joke, maybe as a way to cope with their feelings like “I want things to go back the way they were but this is all I can do”

OKAY NOW THAT IM FINALLY FREE PREPARE FOR MY ASKS TO STEADILY FLOW IN BECAUSE YOU GET ME™️ was having thoughts about waking up to cécile thanks to your artwork (other things were going on that didn’t involve sleeping anndkss) but idk something about the softness of that vs him is just…it does something to me okay

also having thoughts about him fighting the urge to look at you in a certain way while you interact with gael

also having thoughts about taking advantage of him being off duty

and your tags on my fic meant sooo much to me, thank you again I’m so happy you liked it, talking to you about him made me think how important picking up on his body language would be for your mental sanity, and you’d have to be damn good at it too

no literally!!!! waking to cécile KILLS ME BECAUSE OF THAT ONE ASKKKK 😭😭😭👊👊👊👊

nsfw mention in the last paragraph

WHAT DO YOU MEAN CÉCILE DOESN'T SLEEP THE WHOLE NIGHT BECAUSE HE'S TOO ENAMOURED BY THE VULNERABILITY YOU'VE SHOWN HIM BY FALLING ASLEEP IN HIS BED AND THE VULNERABILITY YOU'VE PRIED OUT OF HIM FOR EVEN LETTING YOU BETWEEN THE SHEETS?????? OR MAYBE HE'S SCARED AS IN SO VERY SCARED OF THE WAY YOU'VE DESTROYED HIM BEYOND REPAIR BECAUSE NOW THAT HE'S HAD YOU HE'S GONNA KEEP WANTING YOU TILL HE HAS ALL OF YOU AND THAT THOUGHT IS MORTIFYING TO THE CLOSED, HOLLOW HEART OF HIS??? OR MAYBE HE HASN'T SLEPT NEXT TO SOMEONE IN SO LONG THAT THE FEELING OF YOUR BODY IS TRULY FOREIGN TO HIM AND HE CAN'T HELP BUT LEARN ALL OF YOU EVEN WHEN, OR ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP????????????? WHAT THA FARRKKKKK i think the first night with cécile is gonna be 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 because he's denied you for so long that he just... snaps. he snaps and he'll have you no natter what. but after the sex, after the passion? he's angry, shocked— scared. what have you done to him? and he has to get up early in the morning because he can't stand the thought of you seeing him like this past the lust BUT HE STAYS ANYWAYS UNTIL YOU WAKE UP. IM SICK. IM FUCKING SICK. RAVENSTAR DEVS ARE YOU HAPPY TO SEE ME CRY?? CÉCILE IS ALL DRESSED AND CLEANED UNTIL YOU WAKE UP AND KNOWING ACTS OF SERVICE IS SEWN INTO HIM, HE MIGHT HELP YOU FRESHEN UP BEFORE HE GOES OFF TO WORK. HE'LL SAY IT'S BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU TWO WITH YOUR ' GRAVE INABILITY FOR DECORUM' AND MAYBE SO BUT CÉCILE, FOR ALL HIS CUTTING FORTHRIGHTNESS, HAS THINGS HE CAN NEVER ADMIT. SO HE'LL ALLOW HIS GAZE TO LINGER ON YOU BEFORE HE GOES BACK TO FIGHTING OFF AN UNBIDDEN DESIRE (DESIRE? LUST? NEED? HE DAREN'T THINK OF THE OTHER DIRTIER WORD BEGINNING WITH 'L')

ahem. pardon my french i got a little carried away! also a certain way goes so many ways here LOL i think for the most part he'd just be looking at you like you're a roach buzzing around gael. his master is a respectable and noble man and you're... you 🤨🤨🤨 unfortunately he can't let his face do all the talking because believe it or not, gael doesn't want his bodyguard to stare murderously at his guest.

the other way is the one that screams with conflict. again i really have to know what cécile thinks of his love for mc in relation to his love for gael because i have no doubt that even when you reach the end goal and become cécile's world, gael is still gonna mean so so much to him. at that point, would he sacrifice everything else for you? yes. but he knows the world includes gael too and it's a part of him nothing, and i mean nothing can heal. what im trying to say is; does cécile feel even more pained, looking at you when you're standing right next to his master only in name, now? can he stand to look honestly at gael when the bane of existence and the recipient of all his need makes things so fucking difficult? he has never been on gael's level, and for good reason.

he has no right to ask for gael's forgiveness nor understanding - even though gael would forgive him in every life time like jesus willingly kissed judas - but he can't help but... need to know. just this once, the loyal hound strays and he's sorry. he's so, so sorry. please know (yes, i know) that he did not go willingly (of course you did, and it's okay), that he will always love gael (i have no doubts about that, but it's about time you have a love to call your own, now - a master and a pet only for you).

and he can't help it, the smaller feeling crawling underneath his skin. that the exact same master he loves so dearly could treat you better than cécile could by miles— gael could sweep you off your feet, and cécile wouldn't even be angry.

also sorry but 'taking advantage of him' while he's off duty snapped me out of my angsty mindset and immediately got me huffing like a dog. heartbreak time over, we're pulling cécile into a bathroom stall to suck that dick till it's blue and black before sending him off again 🤷

Just had the worst fist bump of my life

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

reading the adventures of amina al-sirafi is a struggle (/pos) bc it's like. on the one hand I understand salima blackmailing amina is a display of wealth and privilege in line with the themes of the book. on the other hand Fuck You. on the one hand I understand that salima goes to such a twisted length to make amina stay on the job because she lost her son and is desperate to have her granddaughter back even though she can't accept that she drove her away. on the other hand Fuck You. on the one hand I understand that there had to be something like this to keep amina on the quest for Plot Reasons bc there was no other way she'd stay on once she realizes how drastically awful this quest was. on the other hand Fu
