#their relationship fascinates me

i know we're talking devotions stocks but im also thinking abt flames sudden desire for independence and how itll affect mane, especially bc a lot of flames own desires and morals go against manes quite directly. like. i cant imagine mane being just Fine w mawn but will he still be against it if its something flame wants? would he be willing to ignore his own grievances for flames sake? would flame even WANT manes support if his decision is all about being his own person outside of mane?

I truly think the funniest fucking thing about Hallariel and Gilear is the fact that she admits, not five minutes before hitting on him, that she hasn't been sober in 15 years

Pov you're an absolute elven milf, greatest fencer in the world, at your husband's funeral with the hangover of a century and you immediately start hitting on the local high school principal who has a yogurt stain on his shirt

“#THEY’RE SO MEAN I LOVE IT#a thing I have noticed on rewatch is that on multiple occasions when JGY is having a bad day#he then either needles JC’s insecurities himself or watches gleefully as someone else does it#right after Madam Jin yells at him in front of everyone he turns to JC and is like ‘wow Jiang-zongzhu your shixiong is really something! 😊’#then later! after LXC made a disappointed face at him for inviting SMS to the banquet he makes a toast like#‘BIG shoutout to the Jiang clan on catching more prey than anyone else!! wow!! 😊’#and JC has to stand up and politely accept the toast while clearly hating it soooo much#JC has literally done nothing to him whatsoever. JGY is just like umm some people? bully Jiang Wanyin? to cope??”

couldn’t reblog without @poorlittleyaoyao ‘s tags— literally the minute jc’s in jgy’s line of sight you better hope it’s not a Bad Day At Jin Lin Tai (tm)

who is your favorite AA character? 👁️👁️

ziska… I hope capcom brings her back someday

i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:

You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.

You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.

You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.

You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.

You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.

You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.

You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.

Also a silly interaction with this piece

[zoomclown]

thinking about how Warrens feelings about Bryony are immensely complicated while Bryony's feelings about Warren couldn't be more simple.

he has to deal with all the feelings of being gaslight into thinking he is in love with a woman he never met, then actually falling in love with her, then the betrayal of learning that she never loved him, and is actively putting him in harms way for her own ends.

To Bryony Warren is just an experiment. Nothing she does to him holds any emotion for her. Everything she does to harm him is simply to see what happens. That's why his question surprises her. To her, their relationship is so simple that it didn't even occur to her that there might have been anything there.

I am constantly thinking about Warren's "Was any of that ever real? You and me?" to Bryony. And her instant comeback of "No."

Bryony's instant response because, no, it never was. Because to her the only thing that was real was the experiment, that's all Warren was to her. A living, breathing experiment that she had to follow around for a time, that she got to study in what Warren thought was the sanctity of their own home. Warren who believed he had a spouse who loved him, a spouse that he loved. Warren who had something good in his life, finally, after everything he went through.

Only for it all to fall apart and for Karen to turn into Bryony Halbech, a nearly different woman standing in front of him. A woman who treated him like shit, who pushed his buttons to make him rage, because she knew he had these issues. The murderer turned experiment who it wouldn't matter if he died in these trials. Because that's all he was; something to experiment on. Bryony's not the type to think about anything else but the scientific research behind what she's doing, that's all that will matter to her.

thinking abt derap and pangi. its funny bc like derap doesnt want to team w pangi bc yk,, the sticklers but also bc pangi is a peaceful player and he doesnt want to force him into conflicts he cant, or doesnt want to, involve himself in. but i also think derap would stop at nothing to revive pangi if he were ever banned.

This interaction explains a LOT about Aira's character, and why her feelings for Okarun feel so unserious when compared to the likes of Jiji. Aira didn't enjoy playing piano, but she cannot STAND losing to someone else, leading to her obsessively working to win. But after winning, she lost interest in piano altogether because she 'won,' and no longer had the drive to play.

For a long time now, Aira's place in the story feels way more like she is invested in Momo. Momo is the one who inspires character growth in Aira on at least two different occasions I remember (confessing to spreading rumors after the fight with Nessie, and becoming more serious about fighting when she accidentally caused the Evil Eye to attack Momo), but while Jiji is slowly moving into a position where his feelings for Momo can no longer be ignored by the other characters, Aira's interest in Okarun is basically a hamster wheel. It spins and spins, but it doesn't go anywhere. But Aira clings to it out of stubbornness because she doesn't want to admit defeat, while at the same time never making serious effort to get Okarun to see her as a viable romantic partner.

From the start, the majority of Aira's focus has been on Momo. First by convincing herself Momo was a demon that needed to be defeated. Then trying to insist that she needed to save Okarun from Momo. And now she has fallen into a comfortable pattern of throwing herself at Okarun any time Momo is around to incite Momo into arguing with her. But she ONLY does that when Momo is around, and then loses interest in Okarun the moment she and Momo start throwing hands. I suspect that's the real reason she isn't doing anything to either try and seriously progress her relationship with Okarun or bowing out the way Rin and Vamola did once they realized that they were better as friends rather than trying to get between Momo and Okarun. Because she is afraid that if she doesn't push the idea of liking Okarun or makes a serious effort and either 'wins' or gets turned down and can't justify pushing herself on him any longer, she'll lose the frienemy relationship she developed with Momo.

And in the end, what keeps Aira going is the competition, not the trophy she earns when she wins.

spent a whole day on this only to decide in the end that I don't like it that much 🫠🫠 Ah well here it is anyway

law and luffy are just like. what if I saw you at the peak of your miracle working competence, and then the literal next time I saw you it was at your most isolated and broken. and what if that moment of seeing you alone and grieving and terrified was the moment where I decided you were someone worth keeping, someone who I personally cared about and wanted around. how does that not make you wanna lose your fucking mind.

and then the other thing on top of that which always gets me is the way that you can just so clearly see that neither of them has any idea how to fit this relationship into any preexisting context - Luffy calls him part of his crew, but law is the captain of his own crew and would clearly die before giving that up; law calls them allies but it is glaringly obvious that they care about each other in a way that goes beyond that. of course Luffy is generally a lot less bothered about this than law, who routinely wants to put his own head through a wall about it, but it’s just such a fun layer to their dynamic I think.
