Hey Revali,

That hylian form is looking real good!! (Go get em tiger) I'm sure link is enjoying it :3

But I'm curious, will this be a permanent change? I hope so, haha

Warm regards,

Goodness I hope it's not perminant - Hylians are so pointless with their lack of wings.

However I look good in whatever form I take. I have a great talent for it.

I shall not confirm or deny Link's thoughts on my current prediciment.

@rosekillermicrofic | May 7th - lush | 362 words | cw: implied sexual content

Barty loved messing about with Evan’s hair, lush and soft as it was, pulling the coils to watch them bounce back into place, to brush the knots out and put them in silly styles, which Evan let him do without thought as he played chess against Peter–and lost, of course.

At the moment, though, they were in bed, grinning–or Evan’s version of grinning, anyway–at each other in the afterglow, a mesh of Evan’s platinum blond hair curled around Barty’s pointer finger.

“You’re beautiful,” Evan whispered into the darkness, as if he had any right to speak on matters of beauty when he was walking around with his face as it was–sharp features looking soft in the low light, lips red and wet from pleasing Barty so thoroughly, hair a little bit damp and stuck to his forehead with sweat.

Unable to stop himself, and not wanting to, Barty leaned in to lick the taste of himself off Evan’s lips, and got lost in it, in how he was simply allowed to lick the inside of Evan’s mouth, how he could feel it on his inner cheek when Evan licked at his teeth, tongue tracing over and over the chip in one from a particular fight with his father.

Having to drag himself away by sheer force of will, Barty leaned their foreheads together, noses just barely touching. “I love you, Evan,” he confessed, as if it were a secret. It wasn’t–wasn’t even the first time they’d said it.

The confession had left Barty’s lips twelve days ago, just as a thank you when Evan refilled his water without Barty even asking, and it had been like a floodgate had opened and neither of them could keep it in anymore. Barty said it whenever he could–every night before they went to bed as if it were a ritual, over and over again as Evan went down on him, a prayer for him not to stop, as praise of his mouth and tongue, and like this, tenderly in a private moment just the two of them shared, no room for even Regulus too peek through the curtains and silencing charms around them and intrude.

It’s fascinating how the show plays with narrative lenses and allows the viewers to reassess Stede through Ed.

It’s said Stede should be killed for incompetence in episode one. Badminton calls him pathetic and mocks him mercilessly. We see the disdain of Stede’s father, and how ostracised Stede feels within his marriage. Jackie thinks he’s a loser within minutes. Blackbeard’s interest in Stede is ambiguous. Stede’s own self-loathing is evident. The only kindness we glimpse is Olu, Buttons and the indigenous islanders, none of whom seem to truly know or understand Stede.

Interestingly, Izzy seems to clock something of the power of Stede early and the threat to his status quo. Izzy does as much as he feels able to keep him from his Boss. It’s not quite clear though at this stage as to the reason why.

Finally, Blackbeard arrives on the Revenge, and gives us an entirely different lens in which to evaluate Stede Bonnet even before they’ve properly met: this guy is fucking fascinating.

The viewer needs to reassess who Stede is from this point on. And it makes us look at ourselves and go, ‘oh…OH!’

A Figure emerges, shrouded in a cloak of whispers.

-

The Figure continues to emerge, a nightmarish specter of an older world, slowly enveloping Ink5oul’s brash bravado.

-

[ERROR]: MINE

-

[ERROR]: ALL OF THEM, MINE.

-

The Figure does not move.

-

Beat. The Figure turns to Ink5oul.

[ERROR]: THERE IS MORE

INK5OUL: Not here there isn’t.

The Figure breathes deeply, a strange and disconcerting sound, enveloped in pained whispers.

[ERROR]: NO. NOT HERE. ELSEWHERE…

The Figure recedes.

INK5OUL: Yeah, whatever. Manky old git.

Just a compilation of [ERROR] bits from this episode because the way they (it?) are described is fascinating to me. I'm not even sure if they're humanoid, let alone human.

[expectiations]

Thinking of how "left me like a book on a shelf" is from River's POV and therefore does not mean it is the entirety of the story much like how "the Doctor does not and has never loved me" was uttered from a River who was grieving.

Like the Doctor could have spent a long time putting the TARDIS in stationary orbit around the Library. The Doctor could have puttered about with the Library from years before it was shut down to ensure that everything would go smoothly while doing his best not to change a single thing. And on days when it is too hard, he just stares at the Library from his perch on the TARDIS door. Waiting, hoping, thinking. Trying to find a way out for her. For them.

And he does!

He finds a hundred ways to get her out of the data core. But...something always goes wrong. It's somehow never good enough. She's back, but she's not entirely there.

So he scratches it out, slaps himself, and tries again.

And again.

And again.

But his plans always fail.

But they don't. Not really. His plans could work. Could have worked. His beloved Sexy would help him. She'd always help him when it comes to her Water. But he was too scared. Too frightened of failure. Because one single mistake. One. Single. Mistake. And she's gone. He can never get her back. Forever.

So he runs. And runs. And runs. Until centuries has gone by and companion come and gone. Until he met a younger, more alive version of her. And then they had Darillium. And oh the joys of wonderful joys, what a night that was.

But things end. Even for him. They had to part ways again. Had to say goodbye. So he tries again. Picks up what his previous self had shelved. He tries. Oh how he tries.

But still. That fear exists. Is it worth it? Can he finally accomplish what he'd started a literal lifetime ago?

(He doesn't.)

Off on another lifetime with a new body. He's a...she now? Oh and shorter! Wow. That's new! I wonder what Ri–

On the rare moments she allows herself to succumb to sleep she goes to their his her study. She takes a moment to take everything in. It's unrecognizable now – the study that once was theirs filled with warmth and laughter and-

Every single space was taken. Covered by plans of plans of plans spanning...two...lifetimes now. Sexy still kept it just as it was the last time he she had been in there.

Their His Her favorite throw was still where it was – on their his her favorite corner of their his her favorite couch.

Nothing had changed but everything had changed.

She curled up and buried her face hoping it would still smell of her (It did. They never knew how it worked but somehow her smell still lingered anyway. They thought they were hallucinating at first but other people had been able to smell it too. Sometimes they forget but Sexy also lost her too).

She was a he again. The same face they had four lifetimes ago. The same face who was the first to keep the memory of their meeting.

But wh- what? Why? How? Is this it? Is this the body that finally brings her back home? A fitting act really. He put her in there and so he'll also put her out of there.

But... she wasn't there. Nothing was there. Nothing but chunks of debris and ashes and smelted...somethings.

When he blinked his eyes open (when had he closed them?), Donna's worried face greeted him. He blinked again and blinked. Nothing changed. Everything has changed. He had waited for far too long. He had made her wait for far. too. long. He feared of failing her but now he actually has failed her.

Everything was bland now. Was it just him or is everything a bit...on the side of grey? Donna looks at him like he might break. (He won't. He's a Time Lord. Time Lords don't break.) Even Sylvia had taken to treating him a bit more kindly.

He goes off alone with Sexy. His return to the Noble-Temple (Temple-Noble) household becomes fewer and further in between. One day he finds himself in Venice. Wonderful Venice. His Pond and her Roman (who wasn't yet a Roman) had gone here. There were vampires. And running and –

River?

No silly. River wasn't there.

He blinked. And blinked again. Made sure the sky was blue and the clouds still fluffy white. But was that his leather jacket that just whizzed by past him? Wait. Hold on. That was... Was that? Oh no. It wasn't. It couldn't be. Did they? No. They couldn't have.

But of course, apparently they did. Because that was actually his leather jacket wearing self that just passed by him again(?) tugging along his very-much-not-dead wife along running from... Hold on. Why are they running? What- Who's shooting at her?!

The fact that ALL OF THE PHANTOM THEIVES knew Akechi was sus AF the moment he met them is hilarious and sad because they were being genuine in most interactions and I believe they were trying to make him come out as a persona user and until Futaba bugged his phone they realized he was the black mask (Futaba does that with everyone) God does that hit me

[soaps-mohawk]

I have a silly question lol!

I'm guessing since reader has a phone and it's mentioned she has some social media apps (like yt), does she use social media slang? (Ate, cooked, period, era, it's giving etc etc.)

I'd love to know how Ghost and Price would react to to her speaking like that, them getting all confused and staring at each other like 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

Maybe Gaz and Soap know a little bit of slang considering they're younger but I'll leave that up to you^^

She'd do it simply because Simon and Price just blink at her when she does and she thinks it's hilarious 😂

Johnny also gives chronically online vibes so you bet your ass he's joining in too lmao they catch Kyle up so then there's three of them.

Cue John and Simon trying to learn and then just sounding like dads trying to be hip and with the times 😂 the reader thinks it's adorable though and let's them do it
