197.
It feels like treason to think it. Opeli would feel guilty for it on a normal day, she thinks, but the situation is dire and she wonders if anything will ever feel normal again. The Banther Lodge is a far cry from the castle, and it is crowded enough without the kingslaying elephant in the room.
She watches Soren fight Rayla over it.
She watches Ezran hide his tears.
She watches the Kingslayer walk free.
Well, she thinks. There are certainly worse things than thinking it. There are worse things than talking to her friends, her family, who also happen to be part of the council. Worse things have been done than calling a meeting behind Ezran's back, who is the King, yes, but a child first, and he has enough on his hands without this too.
"I don't think Prince Callum can continue being a part of this council."
Soren grimaces. Corvus shifts uneasily on the spot. Barius makes a face and fiddles with his hands.
Opeli stares them down. "Do you disagree?"
A pause. A sigh. Soren huffs and glances through the cellar kitchen window to make sure Callum is still preoccupied with defending Rayla and her murderous father from anyone who dares to look at them the wrong way. "No," he mutters after a moment. "You're right. You usually are, but this... Is Ezran's decision, not ours."
Opeli scowls, some misplaced maternal instinct raising her hackles. "He's dealing with enough," she says shortly. "He's eleven years old, his home has been destroyed, and his own brother returns with the elf that killedâ"
"We get it," interrupts Corvus tiredly. "And we're not disagreeing with you. You're right. But what are you asking us to do, exactly? Kick Callum off the council? Is more internal conflict really what we need right now?"
"With respect, High Cleric," says Barius, "are we even supposed to be having this meeting? Isn't it breaking some sort of law to be talking about this before talking to King Ezran?"
Opeli wrinkles her nose at that, the wrongness of this heavy in her gut. "It's not illegal to bring up a concern with members of the council in confidence," she grumbles. It's a weak argument, but it's been played in court before, and she's not above playing the same dirty tactics to keep her king safe. "We are Ezran's council," she asserts. "Our duty is to him and to Katolis and I don't believe Callum's priorities are quite the same. Heâ" She grimaces too and locks eyes with Soren. "He's starting to remind me of your father."
Soren snorts at that. "Don't I know it," he mutters, and Opeli sees the truth of it in his eyes. Soren would know better than anyone what magic can do to people, the kind of power it gives them, the cleverness they think wielding it grants. "But Opeli, seriously, what are we going to do? We can't just arrest him. All this aside, he's still the prince. He's Ez's brother."
"One might argue that King Harrow was his stepfather, and you can see how much he cares about that."
Another pause. The room flinches because they all know that it's true, what an insult it is to Harrow's memory that his murderer would be allowed to dine at his son's table.
"Have you asked Ezran what he wants to do?" asks Corvus at last.
Opeli winces. "I didn't want to burden him with it," she mumbles. "I don't know that he knows what to do and frankly... I don't either."
"A first," says Barius, not unkindly. "It's all right to be concerned, High Cleric. It's all right not have all the answers."
"Yes, well." Opeli clears her throat and bows her head, hiding her weakness in the way her hood falls over her eyes. "I'm not particularly good at not having answers. I've come to you three hoping you might have them instead."
"I don't think we can help anymore than you," says Corvus wryly. "But our duty is to Ezran, the same as you. Soren and I won't let anything happen to him. The same way Barius won't. The same way you won't. Okay?"
"Call it a secret council pact," adds Soren with a grin. "If Callum does anything else stupid, we step in, no matter what. Deal?"
Hardly, thinks Opeli, even as she nods. She takes what little solace she can get.
#ezrans council#in anticipation#background rayllum#i just want them all to be SO MAD at callum#please itll be so fun#the dragon prince#writing is a coping mechanism and everything sucks send help or sorpeli please and thank u

SKZ Pack Chapter 14
Trigger Warnings: Chan is a meanie, angst
"What do you mean she was gone from your sight, Minho!" Chan shouted. "She wasn't supposed to leave. I told her. I don't know why you're blaming me! She would have been fine on her own in the covenstead. It's not my fault she is undisciplined." Minho growled in frustration. "You're right. She is undisciplined and reckless, but you should have kept an eye on her, Min. You, of all people, should have known that, " Chan said in frustration.
They had been arguing the past twenty minutes about Y/N following the potential stalker to get a note. Y/N could have easily been jumped or kidnapped. This was so far her stupidest decision and quite frankly Chan was getting fed up with it. Even some of the wolves had commented after today. They understood her recklessness with Ateez because she had Hyunjin and Seungmin, but going solo was something Chan wouldn't tolerate. He had to discipline her, she had been here long enough. "Tell Y/N to come to my office," Chan gruffly said to Minho who nodded and walked off to find Y/N who was currently sitting with Changbin on the sofa. "Chan wants to see you in his office," Minho said as he walked past the living room to head to the cleaning cupboard. "What. Why?" Y/N asked. "Don't know," Minho answered, except he did know, but that was something for her to find out.
When Y/N got up and walked towards Chan's office her blood ran cold. It felt too eerily quiet and she didn't like it. It reminded her of going to see Hongjoong or Wooyoung when she was in trouble and she hated the feeling. It made her feel weak and alone. Right now she didn't want to even knock on the door and go in, but she had to. "Come in," Chan called. His voice was colder than normal. It was distant. Y/N entered the room to see Chan on his computer, typing away. It was almost as if he didn't see her or notice her existence, which wasn't true in the slightest. He was purposely making her feel uncomfortable. He wanted her to understand why she was being punished. "Channie, is everything okay?" Y/N asked meekly. "You tell me little wolf," Chan answered. His arms crossed as he looked at her. "I know it was stupid." Y/N sighed. "But honestly, I wanted to know what they wanted." "Is that all you have to say?" Chan asked. He was shocked at her mere apology.
Chan nodded his head, thinking for a moment before he got up to lean on his desk. His arms were crossed and his chest was puffed out. He was dominating her. Showing her who was the alpha and who wasn't. "Now listen here, Y/N. You have defied every wolf since you've been here. The first time. Fine. I can accept that. You are new to your role. The second time. Alright. The fourth and fifth? Seriously, it's ridiculous at this point, even for an omega like yourself." Chan's voice was low as he emphasised each word so it was branded in her brain. "How many times do we have to keep dealing with you being reckless? Huh? I'm fed up with it because you're not learning your lesson and I'm not punishing my wolves any longer." Chan stated. "There mine too!" Y/N whispered. "I honestly am sorry. I didn't think." "They are not your wolves. You are theirs. You're their omega. That is all. Nothing more. Nothing less. Stop acting like an alpha who can take charge because you're not good at it." Chan answered back. His eyes glancing at her submissive head. She was cowering but also defying him. "Look at me Y/N," Chan called out. " From now on you will not leave this house, until I care to let you out. You will redo your nest because I've seen to it broken. If you defy me once more, you will go downstairs." "Ok," Y/N muttered. Her eyes fixated on the piece of dirt on the floor. She felt embarrassed, humiliated. Worst of all it was him denouncing her completely and destroying her nest that she worked hard on.
When Y/N reached her bedroom her heart shattered. Her nest was gone. Her bedsheets were moved. Blankets were thrown everywhere. Items had been stolen. She felt sick. She couldn't believe he actually did that to her, so Y/N stormed out of her room to find him. "Where the fuck is Chan?" Y/N yelled, frightening Jisung and Jeongin. "He left for work. What's wrong?" Jeongin asked. "My nest. Is broken." Y/N yelled, making Jeongin look down. He had heard Chan was going to punish her but he didn't think he would take it that far. "That was Hyunjin. He broke it. Why don't me and Jisung help you fix it agai-" "Don't bother," Y/N growled as she stomped upstairs straight into Hyunjin's first. Y/N headed towards his wardrobe, pulling out his Versace clothes and ripping them apart, before starting on his bed. She ripped everything apart. Whether that was literally or metaphorically it didn't matter, she was hurt and angry. After she was satisfied she headed towards Chan's office to pull his books off the shelf and messed up his paperwork. She did anything that satisfied her anger.
Jeongin caught her and begged her to stop, stating it wouldn't help but she didn't listen. She was on a mission to relieve her emotions. Jeongin didn't know what to do except follow her pitifully. He felt sad for her. She worked hard on her nest and now it was shattered. "Baby, please don't do this. You'll make it worse." Jeongin cried out again. He wanted it to stop but the wolf growled at him. "At least let me fix your nest. Make it all better." Jeongin begged but the female wolf didn't care. "I honestly couldn't care less," Y/N growled as she shoved him out of the way. Jeongin sulked and walked away back downstairs to Seungmin who hugged the youngest wolf. He was feeling conflicted. Jeongin wanted to call Chan and tell him what he did was wrong but at the same time, it was his fault. Jeongin was the one who told Chan he wasn't happy with her risking things and now he got her punished. "Maybe you shouldn't have done that," Seungmin whispered as he held the younger wolf. "I didn't know he would destroy her nest did I?" Jeongin whined. Jeongin sat up and rubbed his eyes when he heard a bang along with a crash. "What was that?" Jeongin asked. "I think that was your room," Seungmin stated, causing Jeongin to cringe.
Felix came running down into the living room as he saw his mate's angry face going in and out of people's rooms. "What's wrong with baby?" Felix asked as he bit his nails in distress. "Chan punished her for disobedience by destroying her nest-" "HER NEST!" Felix shouted. "That's her safe place. That's something we built together." "I know Lix. I know but we can't do anything now." Jeongin stated. "We can. We can make her happy. We can fix her nest." Felix stressed. "Felix do not go up those stairs," Jeongin commanded causing the beta to whimper, he was hurting because she was hurting. "I have a feeling Chan is not going to like us if we interfere," Jeongin stated worriedly. There was nothing they could do. "Can I at least comfort her? Please." Felix whispered. Before Jeongin could even give permission the beta ran up the stairs and pulled the female wolf into his room, allowing her to growl, hiss and cry. Felix wanted her to let out all the emotions she felt so he could comfort her, but it didn't last long, because Chan came back. "Y/N GET HERE NOW!"

arcane rant. spoilers for all of season 2 #caitlyn-critical
yeah okay i was scared to say this which is SILLY but ALAS. anyway yeah seeing that im not the only one i feel like i have to get this off my chest as well.
i wanted to give caitlyn a chance in season 2, especially in the beginning of this season during her """corruption""" arc wherein she was turning into a tyrant and a bad guy. because see, to me that was caitlyn at her best. not as a person but as a character. before this she was just so uninteresting and downright annoying to me, but starting with s2e1 i started really enjoying where the writers were taking her journey. i would've loved to see her continue down that path and caitvi evolving from reluctant allies to lovers and then perhaps to enemies-WHILE-lovers. i wouldve loved seeing caitvi hatefucking, and i thought that was where this arc was taking her. but no, instead she's still the good one, while maddie turned out to be the bad guy all along. plot twist! but it made me feel nothing but more annoyance not only at caitlyn but also at the way the narrative seems to baby caitlyn and excuse her for everything despite the supposed anti-cop messaging intrinsic to the way vi was written throughout season 1.
i understand that caitlyn's whole thing in season 1 is that she's a naive rich girl just trying her best in the ways she knows how, and that's by being a cop. like yes i get that, which is why i didnt mind her very much and gave her a chance to grow, and even though i didn't care for her as a character at all because she's boring AND a cop, i did like that she was in the story as vi's love interest, and primarily served the story in that role.
but when season 2 decides to give her a bigger role and allow her to shine on her own, they do a good job! until... they don't. because caitlyn still has to be a good guy, because she's SO loyal to vi. and why? the two barely know each other, they're attracted to each other but I don't understand why and how caitlyn could so easily put aside all her rage and grief and desire for vengeance and retribution, to be loyal to vi. to betray ambessa and work with jinx?
like i think my biggest problem is how little conflict there is for vi and cait to end up fucking in that prison cell. like if it was angry hate fucking, that would be perfect and honestly a natural followup if you really do wanna implement a sex scene right there and then. but it wasn't. instead it felt more like "okay my suicidal sister gave me her blessing to fuck you so i can finally do it now yippeee" meanwhile jinx literally went to kill herself over and over again while ekko had to keep trying to talk her down.
like the thing is i'm here for the drama and im here for a rollercoaster ride of emotions and i'm here for character development. but more than anything else i'm here for the drama where vi and jinx's story as sisters, as family, is ultimately the driving force of the story. so for them to just push that aside SO quickly, felt JARRING. like "okay sister MOVE i wanna fuck this cute cop who was acting like a tyrant in the city for the past few months (?), and btw the cute cop works for an institution that killed my parents and destroyed our whole lives â¤ď¸ #lovewins"
like okay. i dont mind if the final ending finds both jinx and vi distanced and estranged because they both need to heal and move on from the past (and each other) in order to grow and invest love in their own new found families. but for it to have been done just like that, for caitvi to get together in the same prison cell where vi's suicidal sister had just been suffering in mental agony and grief... I don't know. i don't like it.

Still on my pathologic kick, anyway, character relationships we don't talk enough about but that make me insane, Artemy addition
Artemy and Capella
First off, just the fact that she can, has, and will psychically, unconsciously SOS him across town. We need to talk about that,
and like the fact it's unconscious, please image post-canon Capella accidentally summoning Artemy bc she and Khan had a fight. Giant, angry doctor on call at any moment against both their wills
Their first conversation where she tells him about curling up in her mother's coffin, "of course we're friends", presenting herself as still weak and coming into her powers vs. their conversation at the Cape, denying an emotional connection, "we're not friends", saying she can do it all on her own - I'm insane. I don't even think it's manipulation, I think she wants an adult who treats her like a child - not a reincarnation of her mother- but gets frightened at the possibility of losing even a drop of her control. The way she specifically denied seeing Artmey as a father.
Capella desperately wanting to be her mother and to have an adult's responsibilities as a Mistress and the children of the town's mother (the way she calls Artemy's list, "our children" - like they are both adults) vs. Artemy seeing how much Capella can resemble her (shitty) dad and being the one person reminding Capella she's not her mother and she is a child, and he'll treat her like one.
The role of the White Mistress based on Victoria's Tomb as "being" the town vs. Artemy specifically talking about the Town calling him - He'll always hear Capella's troubles and pain
And we're back to the psychic SOS thing, but like from a humorous standpoint she really could do the "projecting my period cramps meme"
Artemy and Khan
Okay this is shorter, because they don't interact much but their conversation after the House of Death where Khan gets mad at Artemy for letting him and Notkin go into the dangerous house makes me want to scream
Like not in a bad way - Khan has a point that it was irresponsible to let him and Notkin do that (as does Artemy in that he couldn't really stop them), but just ....
Super independent Peter Pan-meets-child dictator character's first response being "Why didn't you (an adult) stop me (a child)?" is wild
He gives very similar vibes to Capella in which they will loudly declared they don't see Artemy as a parental figures and don't want him to be one, while simultaneously desperately (and likely unconsciously) really wanting the safety net of an adult who will selflessly care for them - something they don't have due to their (1) weird families' expectations of them as future mistress/Kain, (2) their own hyper-competence and independence
Artemy and Andrey
This isn't as serious, I just think it's funny that Andrey has suggestive lines at Artemy in patho1 and patho2. Also is like genuinely pretty friendly with him in both (he'll give you Tyrwine for checking on Peter and he's outright help in his 1st Patho 1 sidequest)
Also just straight up, doesn't believe Artmey if he takes credit for destroying the Polyhedron
Like in fan depictions, I often see them not getting along, but I'm 99% sure Andrey's impression of Artemy is "My Hot and Helpful Weed (Twyr) dealer" - outside of Dankovsky, he's the Utopian who probably likes Artemy the most
Meanwhile Artemy gives off strong "i am choosing to barely register a word coming out of this man's mouth for my own sanity" vibes
Aspity and Dankovsky vs. Aspity and Artmey
Okay, mixing Pathologic 1 and Pathologic 2 here a bit which might not be fair as Aspity in general does seem more serious in Pathologic 2 (even for Daniil in the Marble Nest)
BUT the sheer whiplash of Aspity calling Daniil a prickly prick and monologuing suggestively about naked women at him in Patho1 vs.
Declaring herself Artemy's spiritual elder-sister/mother, keeping his inheritance safe, trying to save him from a cruel fate with Patches even at the cost of her life in Patho2
The whiplash is wild, I want to lock the three of them in a room and see what she does
Artemy and Taya
I love that being the co-ruler/enforcer/parental figure mix to one weird-magical little girl ruler who can magically communicate with him wasn't enough
Taya subconsciously yoinking Artemy into her dreams to play dolls or tell her stories - he hasn't slept in a week
Also I think it would be really interesting post-canon to look at how they are doing as the two big spiritual and political leaders of the Kin
#pathologic 2#artemy burakh#capella olgimskaya#khan pathologic#long post#andrey stamatin#aspity#taya tycheek#sorry not over capellas 'OUR kids' and artemy saying âYOU are one of my kidsâ and never will be#i could probably do another no artemy version bc the inter-character relations and what Clara and Dankovsky have going on is also wild

Hi! I've been seeing your Metal Cardbot posts and I really like them!
For my request, can we have the Metal Cardbots who catch a virus that basically simulates the common cold x Reader who has to be their caretaker for the duration of it?
Sick?!
Oh no, the bots are sick! How? Not sure, but you've got to take care of them!
MCB
Different colored dialogue = different bot
Btw don't ask how they drink stuff... Ask Buffalo Crush in that one episode
Ok so uhm, I'm not sure how to use sentences for this, so i hope you're ok with dialogues.
°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°â˘Â°
Blue Cop
"Didn't i just told you to rest?"
"Yes, but this is much more important, i have to-"
"No, no no no, sit back down."
".. Very well."
He'll look like a kicked puppy if you stop him from doing his things, but he'll listen.
Mega Trucker
"Mega Trucker! Stop dancing and drink your medicine!!"
"Huh- woah! No thanks I'm good!"
"Wha- Mega Trucker?!"
Unfortunately he's stubborn. Good luck with that.
Mega Ambuler
"Mega Ambul- oh! You're drinking your medicine already."
"Of course."
"... Do you even need my help?"
"No, but thank you for trying. I can do this on my own."
He's a literal doctor. Do i even need to explain?
Phoenix Fire
"Phoenix, come on... It's just fuel!"
"Yeah! But it's bitter!"
"Better than being sick isn't it?"
"I guess..."
If there's anything more he hates other than fire, is burning up inside.
Shadow X
"... Where'd that kid go?"
"Here! He was hiding in the rooftop again."
"Let go!! I don't want those- those things!"
"It's just bitter fuel..."
He runs away and when the others find him he gets dragged back to you. He's throwing a tantrum too so that's something.
Fleta Z
"Fleta Z. Your medicine?"
"Ah, right. Thank you for reminding me."
"No problem. Do try to remember it yourself, okay?"
"Of course."
He hides the fact that he hates the medicine. He did a good job doing it though.
Dexter
"Dexter? Dexter! Is he in the forest again...?"
"He is."
"... Dexter!!!"
He may be mature, but he hates medicine as much as he hates the people who destroys the wildlife.
Wild Guardy
"Wild Guardy? You haven't youched your medicine.
"That can wait."
"No it can't, take it!"
"Yes, it can."
It's a back and forth bickering between you two. He's stubborn for some reason.
Buffalo Crush
"But it tastes bitter!"
"But you'll feel better!"
"But it's terrible!"
"But you won't be sick anymore!"
You'll probably have to corner him somewhere just so you could persuade him to drink the medicine.
Buster Gallon
".. Are you making something right now?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Did you drink your medicine?"
"..."
Sometimes he forgets on accident, sometimes it's on purpose. Depends on what he's feeling honestly.
Black Hook
"Drink your medicine!!!"
"I'm not drinkin' nothin'!!!"
"IT'S JUST BITTER FUEL!!!"
"STILL AIN'T GONNA DRINK IT!!!"
It really makes you wonder if he's even sick or not. What kind of virus makes him even more loud and stubborn..?
Heavy Iron
"Drink your medicine."
"No."
"I'm not asking you to, I'm forcing you."
"... No." He says in the most nonchalant tone ever.
You'd have a better chance in forcing it down his... throat.

Okay. Maybe I'm just dumb, but, like. Can someone explain to me as if I'm five years old. Is it just me, or is Mage!Viktorâin and of himselfâa paradox? Because here: if Jayce had never gone on with his Hextech research, then Viktor would've never had a good cause to work with him; but we know that it was Viktor who saved Baby!Jayce, so as to complete a timeline where the world doesn't end.
The question is: where in the giggling goddamn fuck did Mage!Viktor actually come from? Is he from a timeline where Piltover and Zaun (or Runeterra as a whole, since Jayce did say that Viktor could threaten the entire world) was destroyed? But that would again beg the question: where did the mage that saves Jayce come from, if so?
Feel free to spoil any of the game lore, if you're inclined, because God do I despise working with time paradoxes-
#even the arcane has a logic behind it#an effability#it has its own method to madness so to speak#SO WHENCE DID THIS AGED TWINK EMERGE#arcane#arcane s2#arcane league of legends#arcane analysis#viktor#the machine herald#viktor arcane#jayce talis#jayce arcane

I've decided to liveblog this experience for fun. So you all can experience a fraction of this.
"[Isla had] heard moonlings speak or paying their monthly dues" you mean taxes?
Isla wants her attendant to trust her and lets her call her just Isla but Isla doesn't even ask for her name lmao
Wdym all you could get from the kitchens was stale bread some fruit and a cup of milk. Girl what was your training for. You are not surviving this.
WHY ARE ALL OF THESE RULERS OKAY WITH GUARANTEED GENOCIDE OF ONE REALM????
That's insane
Is everyone so desperate for freedom from curses that killing an entire realm is acceptable to them like wtf is that gonna be talked about a little more
The blood thing is cool I have to admit
I'm just unclear how the Starling curse relates to stars at all like everything else except for Wildlings is related to their dominion and then the Stars is like uh. You all die at 25. I guess. ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
I'm unclear on how they're not allowed heirs when starlings die at 25 like how is Celeste even here? Unless that's an exception for them?
I'm also unclear why they're all immortal like what's up with that what's the point of that
Grim fr just went "I'm an empath"
"A powerless ruler in a pack of wolves" the metaphors are not metaphor-ing those 2 things aren't connected
Wait so the rulers DECIDE who dies?? It's not just a consequence of who loses??? So they willingly choose which realm to destroy???? WTF
This chocolate scene is making me embarrassed
If I did a drinking game where every time unnecessary metaphors or simile was used i take a tiny sip i would still get drunk and I'm only 45 pages in now
All things considered it's kinda embarrassing how every time the game gets mentioned they're all "this is such a deadly contest we can die so easily blah blah blah" and yet, since the curses are still active and everyone is still here, no one has died!! So they all just suck real bad at assassinating each other i guess
Also tbh none of these curses are as bad as they're made out to be. Like the worst one is definitely dying at 25. The wildlings one is just weird.
I am about to read a BAD BOOK
Why? 1) I need something dumb. 2) I want to go into something and know I won't be disappointed. 3) because I wanna know how bad it is.

Snootles Rant: Lonely AF edition
Snootles does not feel well (she's fine just being dramatic) and is going to rant about being down bad (like seriously being horny on main right now do not perceive me)
*slumps on the floor* I wanna be a housewife so bad
I don't wanna work, I just wanna stay home and crochet/knit and then make some food
And then get absolutely pinned by my beast of a husband
Is that too much to ask????
Is it too much to ask for a big burly man to absolutely ruin me in bed but then he's dedicating himself to me in other ways???
I just wanna live on my own, at least. Crochet a bunch of flowers and vines and shit and decorate my place with them. I want friends I can just surprise with little crochet hearts or flowers and take on dinner dates.
*my ill figure pushes an image towards you* *muttering* I just need to be under him
The photo in question:
Fuck I also love him
*holds these two pictures and cries more*
WHY MUST I BE CURSED?? I AM NOT PHYSICALLY WELL ENOUGH TO HANDLE THIS BEAUTY AT THIS HOUR
*it's late I should really go to bed*
Instead I shall complain more because as hard as I've tried to stay horny off main, I am unfortunately a weak-willed woman
And I am a simple woman with simple needs.
And those needs are currently to get fucking decimated by one of the above men. Fuck it, if not both
#god the things i'd let Captain Price do to me#I just wanna *sniper shot*#It'd be better if I didn't finish that sentence let's be honest#they can destroy me but i'm okay with that#Captain John Price and Sgt Kyle Garrick live in my head rent free#fucking thinking of Gaz whispering âgood girlâ in my ear and I am deceased#Price saying âThat's my girlâ at literally anything I do and I am immediately weak#EVERYDAY I WAKE UP AND THINK ABOUT HIM *pictures of Gaz and Price*#*cries harder*#the way I need either one of these men is just shameful#Honestly for me though y'all do you#But like now I'm having Gaz feelings#am I going to bed? No#I'm gonna consume all the Gaz x f!reader stuff I can#and hit the Price x f!reader smut again#I hope nobody's reading these#But if you are lemme know#Lemme know how fucking crazy I am and how proud you are of me for finally getting this off my chest#kyle gaz garrick#captain john price#snootles rants

My brain just hit an old hyperfixation (is this what it's called? I hope I used the word right) and oh dear am I losing my mind now. I need to write a story I think. About this one old guy. He's unhinged. There's so much information about him and yet not enough. I want to explore his character so much. He's definitely a criminal - at least he was one - and I'm 95% sure he can do actual real magic, and he's a musician and an artist and an actor and a magician and a philosopher and a traveler and a conman and so much more and also I think he's some kind of immortal. Maybe he just has a VERY long life. It's strongly implied he was a pirate at some point of his life. He started a cult by accident several times. My conspiracy theories about him include him being a secret god.
He's also a freaking round blue raven. Someone save me from my mind.
#seriously why is he so cool#he's like. a ball.#he's ROUND#if no one stops me I'm gonna make an au and introduce all my mutuals to a russian cartoon that lives in my head rent-free#it has an obviously mysterious old man and an old woman who seems to be very normal but actually has some weird past as well#and they're in love you can fight me on this THEY. ARE. IN LOVE.#there's a disastrous scientist who keeps forgetting to sleep and is kinda cute in a nerdy way#there's a mechanic guy who lives a bit away from everyone surrounded by tech and he's actually unhinged#he's a single father btw. he made a robot baby because he was lonely. it's very important for his character.#I WILL ship the scientist and the mechanic because no one can stop me <3#there's a local farmer who was a famous disco dancer an archeologist and a VERY famous actor in the past. he doesn't care about it anymore.#he was like. Captain America actor kind of famous. or Superman.#and then he just committed a bunch of crimes for his new friends and left to live in a village far away from big cities#all those people with very suspicious past raise a bunch of children together#absolutely inseparable adhd and autism best friends boys who I think are capable of destroying the world#and toxic teenagers couple:#a girl who honestly needs to figure herself out first before dating anyone and a poet boy who is SO deeply in love with her it's not okay#the farmer dude also has a rebellious teenager niece who visits him sometimes#and the mechanic's kid is usually in space but sometimes returns and I am not ashamed to admit that I cried during some of those episodes#I am going to think about them. they are so important to me.#I am going insane.#also yes they are all round animals. if you're wondering.#someone just tranquillise me already or something. it's 5 a.m. and I am losing my sanity

Okay your wish is my command!
Stripped
youtube
This is a song about intimacy and sharing your true self. I find it SO fitting because of the following reasons:
The dark undertones. It sounds creepy as hell at times. "Stripped down to the bone" almost sounds gory.
The sexual undertones: it's called "Stripped" after all. ST5 will be much more mature.
Talk about escaping to another land: "come back to the land... where everything's ours... for a few hours".
Lyrics like "let me hear you make decisions without your television... let me hear you speaking just for me". This of course means being authentic and non-conformist. Again a huge overall theme of the show!
2. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
youtube
Dreaming is commonly referenced within ST. We know the show likely isn't just all a dream but... it's possible something similar is going on.
This song is about humanity as whole including the darker sides (like ab*se).
In my opinion, this song is about coping the best you can with the unpleasant sides of humanity "hold your head up, keep your head up".
3. Holding Out for a Hero
youtube
This one I think is fairly self-explanatory. With all the references to heroes! To me it ties in perfectly with both Mike being Will's hero, and also with my theory on Will having DID and many characters being his alters. For people with DID, alters are essentially their "heroes" protecting them from trauma and ab*se.
4. Enola Gay
youtube
Enola Gay is both a song about the first atomic bomb used in an act of war called "Little Boy" AND it's considered a GAY ANTHEM by many.
This song was what made me realize that the writers compared Will to "Little Boy". I talk about this more in this post.
Some VERY relevant lyrics to ST:
The mention of 8:15 and "that's the time that it's always been". Alluding to time being frozen.
Communication through the radio.
"Conditions normal and you're coming home" aka finally returning from the UD.
5. Always on my Mind
youtube
The lead singer of this band is openly gay. If you listen to the lyrics, they perfectly fit Mike's perspective and how Will has "always been on [his] mind" this whole time...
"If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry I was blind. You were always on my mind. You were always on my mind."
6. Strangelove
youtube
So there's layers to this one.
First off the obvious: The title is about a "strange love" aka something that's not accepted by society and is considered a "sin".
Secondly, it's likely a nod to the movie Dr. Strangelove
Dr. Strangelove is about The Cold War, America vs. USSR/Russia (a common theme in the show).
"A film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button -- and it played the situation for laughs. U.S. Air Force General Jack Ripper goes completely insane, and sends his bomber wing to destroy the U.S.S.R. He thinks that the communists are conspiring to pollute the "precious bodily fluids" of the American people."
Speaking of "precious bodily fluids"...
7. Tainted Love
youtube
Another gay lead singer! And again there's layers here:
Tainted love as in a sinful love/homosexuality
Tainted love as in an ab*sive relationship (I'm not talking about Byler)
Tainted love as in a partner transferring HIV/AIDs... they are "tainted". In fact, one cover of this song was created to raise funds for HIV/AIDs. x
(I also added Shake the Disease by Depeche Mode for similar reasons).
8. It's a Sin
youtube
Simple explanation: this song is about the religious guilt accompanied with being gay. The church set comes to mind...
9. Turn Back the Clock
youtube
I chose this one specifically for these lyrics:
I wish that I could turn back the clock Bring the wheels of time to a stop Back to the days when life was so much better
10. Policy of Truth
youtube
THIS ONE!
So I believe that when Will told Mike "it was a seven. The demogorgon got me." He was actually telling Mike a major secret in code. Him telling Mike the truth lead to everything happening within the show.
Will was terrified of the consequences of him telling Mike the truth and that led to him "vanishing". I'll probably elaborate more on that eventually...
It's just time to pay the price For not listening to advice And deciding in your youth On the policy of truth
Some posts I made about that: here and here.
11. Here Comes the Rain Again
(No more videos :( I've reached the Tumblr limit).
I chose this one again for a few reasons:
The rain mention. "Here comes the rain again... falling on my head like a memory". There's a frequent association with water and Will's trauma.
Alluding to the rain scene...
The song is specifically about depression
The mention of wanting to be lovers...
12. Electricity
This one is simple. It's about electricity. I theorize that sexual electricity will be a major aspect of ST5. I talk about that in this post.
13. Let My Love Open the Door
A perfect resolution to the associating Will and Mike's love with opening doors. Also with lyrics like this:
When people keep repeating That you'll never fall in love When everybody keeps retreating But you can't seem to get enough
It's hard to imagine this song won't be used. Again, I talk more about all of this in this post.
14. Forever Young
Self-explanatory I think. Will and Mike will find a way to be "forever young" aka remain themselves and keep their interests. This also would fit perfectly if they do symbolically "die" (I don't think they'll literally die to be clear).
Just a playlist of songs I think will make an appearance in ST5.
I have very specific reasons for each one.

Actually lads it's a suicidal Morning
#I am overwhelmed with guilt and rage. to self destruct feels like justice. to destroy them feels like satisfaction.#I'm not good!! very much not okay#it's been a very bad year and I'm very fucking tired of living but there's nothing i can do that won't give me serious injuries if i fail#orâ and i could elaborateâ get my ex in trouble.#I'm just. bashing my head off the wall selfharming level coping rn#I'm falling into bad behaviours. i need help. I'm losing my mind.#i feel stuck in a cycle of abusing people followed by homelessness.#i push people away and by the time i need help i have no one left#I'm going to be safe but. i don't know how long i can say that.#anyway. I'm sorry everyone.

was thinking of hollow knight lmk AU and realized another vessel parallel Bai He and LBD she was BEGINNING to fail as a vessel until she possessed Wukong but even then she was still stretched out too thin I feel like this means something but idk what
The body or "vessel" being too weak to contain her power....sounds a bit familiar doesn't it:
If I had a nickle for every time a main antagonist cracked apart while fighting a monkey demon, I'd have two nicklesâwhich isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
But here is the thingâJade Emperor Azure also parallel's Possessed Wukong. So we have 2 instances of successful containers (Mei for the Samadhi fire and Wukong with LBD's power), and we also have 2 instances of failed containers (The little girl for LBD's power and Azure with the Jade Emperor's power).
And you know who else is struggling to be a container for their power?
#it's fascinating that the universe contains a power that destroys itself if unleashed#*cough cough* just like MK *cough cough*#You know it would be cool if MK cracked apart while fighting SWK. It would be neat#Idk how or why it would happen but the vibes are there.#Okay but. But look#Look I'm telling you. MK is gonna parallel Samadhi Fire Mei and Jade Emperor Azure (also LBD Bai He)#No don't walk away- I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES. YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME#Other potential meanings: Wukong becomes a vessel for the Jade Emperor's power.#Because I will let go of my Jade Emperor Wukong theory when I'm dead#lmk#lego monkie kid#jade emperor wukong#lmk MK#lmk SWK#lmk LBD#lmk Azure#asks#solarartzz

i did it u_u
#actually rather pleased with my Bronze Age abstract#Advisor is going to demolish the Other one but that's okay because I at least did something so I got the practice and I can sleep now.#It's kind of funny I was writing the Bronze Age one and I can already feel the struggle of compressing a dissertation's worth#of information into 15 minutes. Like ffs I'm supposed to speedrun oil as an extraction reductant and also talk about Egypt's alum trade?#But this is My Fault. I have done this to myself.#Okay but I'm already bubbling with excitement to talk about Leather Tanning again. Nobody was here when I went on this massive#5 hour long rabbit hole of leather tanning research because... I think I was trying to find out if you could use mushroom collagen#to replicate leather? (The answer is yes.) But it took me down this road of Leather tanning because I was trying to understand the#ion exchange that makes it supple and TLDR there's this massive exploitative industry in the Middle East and Southeast Asia that uses#Cobalt salts because the Co 3+ sits really nicely in the collagen site and you can quickly dye and destroy most of the organics from the#animal itself; but because of that you've also destroyed the texture of the leather. I forget why Al 3+ isn't used. I think it's because it#weathers over time and the leather becomes stiff and hard again. Same with Fe3+. ANYWAY. Try and find thick leather when you#do buy leather because leather IS great and I will die(dye) on this hill. But it's the exploitative textile industry that causes problems.#Honestly I've forgotten 90% of the chemistry but it's so fucking cool and a really interesting peek into an organic affected by inorganics#rather than affecting an inorganic mineral with organics. UGH I love chemistry so much. It's so fucking cool.#ptxt#christ this might be my worst tag essay lol

I listened to some of LCB!Rodya's voice lines, today, and I think it's cute that she calls people "darling" ...
#I wasn't really into pet names like this a year or so ago but now that I'm confident in my identity I don't mind#if it's from a woman anyway--feels strange coming from a man unless he was like ... my spouse#(Heathcliff can call me ''love'' though ... it makes me melt when I imagine him calling Sherry that ...)#anyway I need you guys to know I love Rodya a lot--I think a hug from her could fix me on certain days#Ishy and Rodya are the girls I'd love to cuddle with ... they'd be so good at comforting me#oh--but Don is also a huge snuggle bug I think!!#tackling kind of hugs that nearly knock you off balance#... this post devolved into my talking about the ladies#I love them all very much (save the obvious) though so this is okay :3#p: your worst sin is you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing đŞ#scattered pages

One of my favorite hobbies to engage in is ignoring the canon course of video game romances
#yes my warden in an open relationship will have a foursome at the pearl#and yes I will continue to have Morrigan sleep with Orest after the âI love you and I hate itâ conversation#I am digging into her brain so deep rn#morri seeing sex as the main manipulation tool she has and being so scared to have orest be just In Love With Her#she says no to his invitation of sex once and he just goes oh okay I'm sorry#I still love you that's okay#and it scares the bejesus out of her#time to keep fucking him so I can pretend that he just wants me for my body#time to let him fuck other people so it'll be easier for him to leave me in the end#I can't have him so dependent on me for his happiness or else it will destroy him (the man I love) in the end#I have to let him leave my side slowly or else he'll die if I separate myself from him I saw what happened with his ex-lover (tamlen)#let him be happy with zevran or leliana or anyone#fool woman he will never let you leave and never stop loving you#I love morrigan and her fucked up relationship with intimacy so much#orest is also especially easy to think you're manipulating because he acts so stupid (and it's only partially an act)#he loves so openly and so intensely and yet he's also clearly very easily drawn in with the appeal of a Nice Ass#I could talk about them forever#I'm editing an old fic to better fit with their dynamic and the canon of the romance#and the orest x morri content I've written since I first wrote this fic#and this doesn't just apply to orest and morrigan#I ignore that tamlen and gorim are female warden LIs only#I ignore that Blackwall is âstraightâ (blackwall may be but thom isn't that's for sure)#I do whatever the fuck I want with da2#anyway time to stop rambling in the tags and actually get back to writing#dragon age#dragon age origins#dragon age ii#dragon age inquisition#original content#and mainly
