it's not that he doesn't like Oingo Boingo, it's just that Ford's been playing it nonstop for 5 days straight. Fidds just wants to play his bluegrass records while they make out and have sex for once

the question is who taught lucanis to knit. was it something he already knew how to do or is he picking it up over the course of the game as part of his 'if I manage to cram enough hobbies in there I won't have to sleep again ever. easy' experiment. did he learn it out of a book (as a sometime knitter, a horrifying thought but I wouldn't put it past him). as hilarious as I find the mental image of caterina with knitting needles I do not believe in it, did he pick it up from someone in the household staff growing up the same way he did cooking. is the sweater he wears with his introductory armour his own work (very funny if so it's just so. incredibly neutral toned and sensible.) I understand why he never does it on screen because animating knitting is the devil's own work and bioware were right to dodge right past it no one should wish themselves that kind of pain, but do you think off-screen he's using it the same way davrin does whittling during team meetings and book club nights (for real the grandmas were so right for this: knitting during social group situations is a neurodivergent life hack like you wouldn't believe if doodling isn't your thing/isn't doing it for you). it's that or sharpening his knives and some people seem to get a bit nervous about that so he mostly sticks to the knit one purl one of it all. does he make things for the team. for romanced rook perhaps. boring but useful things like socks and scarves, to be clear. I think mr. 'I made you a cake (cautiously marital intent)' would not mean to impress just make sure your feet weren't cold jogging around the heights of athim killing darkspawn. knitting more socks for harding so she won't get cold walking around everywhere in her fereldan *checks notes written on palm* clogs. some of taash' outfits... you think rook and lucanis are letting them walk around the anderfels like that without at least a token sensible scarf on even tho adaari are built different in terms of body temperature. I say no not in my lighthouse they would team up and mother hen them to shathann levels before they'd let that happen. (the scarf has dragons on it taash thinks it's kind of cool actually.) a bobble hat for manfred not because he really needs it but because he wanted to feel included. assan indignantly tries to steal it and fly away with it so he gets his own scarf to promote peace between the lighthouse little guys and it works. help.

In the middle of all this 457 chaos there's me that lowkey ships junho and the salesman/ the recruiter/ddakji guy or whatever you're calling him

I mean have you look at them, imagine the banter we could've got

Like there's junho, a detective who's been trying to find his brother only to be led up to a brutal kids game competition in some sketchy island and also finds out the person who controls the said game is his very own brother that he's been searching for a long time that is also a previous winner in the game

And then there's the salesman (some people call him ddakji or dak ho) who's been trained to kill, to see people that played the games is lower than him like a trash since he was a teenager probably, who doesn't even know the purpose of life anymore, a literal mess, a maniac. That's also probably the one that recruit junho's brother into playing the games(a theory not sure if that would makes sense)

Just imagine that, I could write a few headcanons if anyone interested

And yes yes I know they didn't even interacted once for SHIT(and the only time they ever see one another was when one of them already died and the one died never also see him or does he?)

totals ur drama

[tommygotwrittenoff]

bobby says to eddie one shift where buck is home sick with chris. going home to see your boys? eddie smiles and says. yeah. and your boys just Sticks in eddies brain and when he gets home he sees chris and buck curled up on the couch asleep and the sight makes him pause cuz. yeah. those are his boys

[ohithankyou]

it’s christmas eve. tommy’s sitting at home because he scheduled the two days off in advance since he thought he’d be spending them differently this year. he went back and forth on whether he should pick up a shift for today but ultimately decided against it as he thought it’d be nice for him to be home on the holidays for a change. but his day was full of nothing but longing for buck, thinking about what could’ve been and he doesn’t want a repeat of that tomorrow. so, he pulls out his phone and is about to text a coworker, saying he’ll take their shift and they can be at home with their family, when a text comes through: it has a familiar address, a date and time for tomorrow, a dress code, and it’s signed off with a simple, “i hope to see you there, happy holidays :).” so. what does tommy do?

[nandermoenthusiast]

im just imagining nandermo in a very enclosed space like for some reason they gotta be chest to chest pushed up against a wall and its awkward for a moment but then nandors eyes are just boring into guillermos and guillermo has that uncertain but unwavering stare too, and is this what is gonna take for them to kiss?

Do you think Jopson and Le Vesconte had fun on their E07 Hunting Trip? I hope they had fun. I hope they saw something nice like a hare or a fox or a ptarmigan in flight.

I can't imagine they knew each other well, if at all, beforehand but I have a wee headcanon that Dundy took the opportunity to give Jopson the very frank lowdown on lieutenant life - what to do and what not to do etc., etc.

Like "Listen, sweet Tommy-J, I've been doing this shit all on my own for months now and I have some OPINIONS that are much sexier and more correct than everyone else's. Heed my advice, boy."

I like to think that that happened and that it's a big part of the reason why Jopson goes from shock and uncertainty at his promotion to wall-to-wall lieutenant badassery only one episode later.

Part of a Lady's Harem? Play the part of her handsome husbands!

Yuu has won a vacation to a very popular vacation spot in Wonderland due to her winning a competition in Foothill Town! She has been given a week long trip, free of charge, along with being allowed to bring whoever she wishes to join her. Ruggie agrees outright, Jamil is coaxed into agreeing because of Kalim, Leona agrees as he hears it in passing, Riddle refuses but Cater pushes him into it, Trey tags along also being pushed by Cater, Azul invites himself to it, Vil has wanted to visit the destination and asks to come along, Idia is pulled into it by both Yuu and Ortho, Malleus gets invited by Yuu and Silver is asked to tag along as well.

Now in a place were there is no conflict outside of acting as Yuu's husbands, the boys need to learn how to relax and Yuu gets a much needed break with pampering.

And yes, Jamil and Ruggie will be hamming it up for Yuu so they get the most of the relaxation.

another Minecraft SOS update for you all, this time about why there's a "no lore" rule put in place.

Here are my own personal thoughts about this: Good. I think a lot of us would agree that Empires s2 fizzled out at the end and that it was clear, even if they didn't show it, that the CCs were just not that passionate about it anymore. I think part of that has to do with the scripted lore stuff (the other thing would be the crossover which I have a lot of Thoughts about but it might be a bit too controversial, ig if you see an mcytblr confession about the crossover being *ahem* mid then you know who wrote it).

While the elaborate backstories and planned lore segments had their place... these are Minecraft creators, not actors or writers, and I'm sorry to say, but the obvious Lore moments were just a bit awkward and ill-conceived to watch sometimes. I like roleplay-based SMPs, but I prefer it when the bulk of the lore is kept to the fandom, yk? It leaves more room for imagination.

Minecraft storytelling is at its best when it is improv, which is why Empires 1 worked better. I feel like forcing a traditional storytelling structure on a non-traditional format is limiting the strength of the medium (can you tell I also want to write a paper on Minecraft storytelling and its completely unique approach to narrative and the dimensionality of characters, completely deconstructing/transforming the concept of the "protagonist?").

anyways good rule fwhip keep on trucking 👍

I had a dream that buffy died by being impaled on a sword during some big battle, and her spirit leaped out of her body and looked like a giant orange tiger made of flames. and spike was so devastated he followed her, and he also had a spirit for some reason and his was a lithe blue buck made of stars. and then their spirits intertwined as tiger-buffy pulled them up towards the heavens together. idk what any of this means but it was pretty cool

"does gregor's family move to virginia?" this "does gregor ever go back to the underland?" that. what about "does gregor spend his adult life sneaking into nyc libraries at night hoping that he'll run into ripred chomping on some books?"

[natjennie]

i think mostly we as a culture need to stop pretending media is for us and instead recognize that it's for the people making it. "the show didn't do the thing I wanted it to" is so not the point. did it do what the people making it wanted it to do? did it tell the story they were trying to tell? than it was successful. if that doesn't align with what you wanted to happen, don't get up in arms about it. don't badmouth the creators and throw a tantrum. that's what fan works are for. the text is the text, and it told the story it was telling. you wouldn't be like "ugh shakespeare is insane for act v btw like there was no reason for juliet to kill herself she should've just waited and then her and romeo could have been together wtf this ruined the whole play" like no!!! the themes were there the set-up was there the foreshadowing was there shakespeare did what he intended to. just because it wasn't a happy ending and just because you thought it should've went differently doesn't mean it was bad. read a fic where juliet lives and move on.
