#this is just like game of thrones omfg

[ghostdrinkssoup]

just finished arcane and I’m sitting here like… what?

….

what?

[the-maddened-hatter]

So I've mentioned before that my irl friend and my partner got me to watch HoTD, but since we got caught up to the season finale of that we're now watching GOT.

So during a Littlefinger & Varys scene one of them mentioned how the two of them could both just absolutely kick Larys' ass as whisper masters and just now all I can picture is Larys just fucking full on snot crying after they've been bullying him at like 1/10th of their power for one (1) day and he's just like "Alicent can you come pick me up? I'm scared."

[maglors-grief]

I decided to read the s2e8 leaks and omfg I hate this show. Can we all collectively complain for the next 2 years about how bad this season was in hopes that they'll be forced to have better writing?

Say what you want about D&D for completely ruining Game of Thrones but at least in the early seasons they were pretty good at adapting the books. We're only on season 2 of HOTD and the writing is already going downhill. I'm not some book purist either who will be unhappy with any adaptation. I really liked season 1 despite the changes they made from the book. But season 2 is just laughable at this point.

Some fans argue that the show is not that bad and that we're being dramatic, but the show could literally be so much better than what we're currently getting. I'm tired of some people defending this show just because they were given crumbs of fan service. This is such a great story with interesting characters and the show is not doing it justice. I'm sad that some fans are okay with settling for less.

VERY LONG! blue lock romfan hcs

i am not a writer and idk how to format but hear me out

isagi as transmigrated mc but before he transmigrates he was playing this otome game and was shitting on all the leads

“theyre all assholes why would the mc ever like them ew”

but he had to play it bc he promised his friend he would and isagi is a nice man and then next day he takes a soccer ball to the face and falls on a rock or smth and dies

-now hes in said game world as a side villain -bc yukimiya is the original mc -and side villain shows up for one scene shits on yuki and is never to be seen again

original mc yukimiya is def the horribly ill only child of a really doting marquis father who lost his wife (slept for three years and this tragic story is known everywhere)  -wakes up the day isagi transmigrates

boom

plot

rin & sae are imperial princes of the empire

BUT

sae self exiled and demoted himself to the far north so sae is ALSO the northern duke trope -which leaves rin in the palace having all the heir duties pushed onto him -but he doesnt want to be the next ruler bc he wants it to be sae -it was always meant to be sae until he uP AND LEFT HIM LMFAOOO

sae left bc he knew his supporters were plotting to kill rin to secure saes seat on the throne bc rins influence on the ppl as a prince was growing

so he gave up his right to the throne and left so rin would be safe in the palace

rin is the tyrant prince thats mean to everyone but also very hot and then you find out he has hellaaaa issues -including but not limited to: inferiority complex, abandonment issues, anger issues, emotionally constipated, 50 shades of anger and depression -the rin and sae routes are most definitely the most dangerous ones bc how do people not die when brothers fight

💪💪💪can u tell my brain opens big when it comes to romfan

kaiser is the young and newly crowned emperor from an empire across the seas or smth -ok bastard child born from a one night stand between emperor and a commoner maid -commoner maid became a consort but empress no likey -so empress and her children constantly go after his life -but after emperor dies kaiser kills them back?? and takes the throne himself and to protect his birth mother

ness as master of the magic tower -neutral faction -but ness himself comes from wherever kaiser is from and was his childhood playmate -ness is a funky guy that is smiley but has the power to destroy a village with a snap of a finger -fire magic user probably

nagi is one of the newcomers to the magic tower -a genius bc in these tropes not everyone can use magic -and even less are actually good at magic -wind magic bc its literally his NAME

nagi was commoner but one day found out he could use magic -bc he wanted to save his cactus or smth -and then elder of magic tower was like weewoo come with me i pay u lots and u just sit there and hes like okie

GASP

NAGI USED TO WORK FOR REO AT THE COUNTY AND THEY WERE CLOSE AND REO WAS DEVASTATED TO SEE HIM GO TO THE MAGIC TOWER OMFG

reo is heir to the richest county in the empire -nagi used to be his gardener or smth idk -so when nagi left him he went through his breakup arc -in original story he would fall for mc yukimiya who helps him out of his slump -but due to isagi shenanigans he somehow made up with nagi -and tries to buy him back from the magic tower????

bachira is human raised by fae -funky boi who hasnt lived amongst humans -also in magic tower -brings nagi to escape at night to go play and ness wants him dead sometimes

isagi is obv replacable with urself bc i want to make it so mc yuki falls for isagi too bc isagi harem yuhh

chigiri is illegitimate son of a marquis -the cheating wife dressed him as a girl and raised him like a girl so the marquis wont kill chigiri -bc if the illegitimate son was a boy he would have a right to be the heir and marquis no likey -if girl then he just wont give a shit abt the girl -later the wife has a son with the marquis which means chigiri is fucked -bc marquis wants HIS son to be heir but his son is younger than chigiri -should chigiri ever reveal himself to have a pp he would have to be sent off to the afterlife -after he becomes a legal adult he kills his dad or smth and becomes marquis himself or he just runs away -and hes hella traumatized

barou king of mercenaries must i say more

shidou head of some knight's division idk -but he swore loyalty to sae specifically -hes still guarding the palace tho

itoshi "why dont you listen to me" rin and shidou "i only take orders from itoshi sae" ryusei

kunigami is a war hero turned sword of the empire -traumatized by war -hella

kurona is palace attendant that has a bit of a crush on mc yuki -on the bad end of his route he dies trying to help mc yuki escape -but after isagi stuff theyre all besties and alive i guess

or more wink wonk

hiori is a smiley boi who became count at a young age bc he is very responsible and nice -but he actually owns the biggest information guild in the empire and has a whole assassin squad under him -do not mess with him he is gamer

karasu is the emperors assistant and he just wants to retire -everyday not only does he have to deal with the emperor -he has to deal with rin throwing fits -and making sure sae isnt actually starting a coup in the north

nanase is the mandatory best friend of transmigrated mc

noel noa as the legendary hero but is also a transmigrator that came before isagi

chris prince is the wacko shaman that lives in the forest that gives out this info abt noel noa i think thats it?? all the important ones at least

[goji-pilled]

and since i already mentioned granny vhagar, here's opinions i have on hotd as someone who has never watched this show or game of thrones and has never read the books but was pushed into the fandom by tiktok probably because i liked one video about the cool dragons:

- reiterating: vhagar's design is great and you guys are just mean

- rip alicent hightower you would've loved lgbt rights and chappell roan (specifically casual)

- i don't care what crimes rhaenyra commits, i don't care she let those people die with vermithor, i don't care if she burns a city down (shoutout to daenerys, i'm stanning girl), she could punch an orphan in the face for all i care. i want this woman so fucking bad, she could spit in my mouth and i would thank her, ma'am i could be another sidepiece 🙏🙏🙏

- aemond shouldn't be going to war, he should be in a hair&shoulders commercial

- everytime i see daemon i inevitably end up having luigi's mansion at the back of my mind

- caraxes may as well be the best design in this whole show i fucking adore him

- FUCK otto hightower

- idk what the deal with crispy cole is but given the fact they keep calling him that i'm assuming it's FUCK crispy cole

- the kiss between rhaenyra and mysaria was absolutely necessary. (alicent was probably screaming and crying and throwing up over it) so necessary in fact they should add another one. please,,,

- someone PLEASE get helaena or however you spelled it out of there and let her live in a little cottage far, FAR away from her family together with her dragon and bugs omfg

- alicent is lowkey a bitch but like in a complex way but also i get it. if rhaenyra targaryen was my failed situationship i'd also start a war

- syrax is a cutie patootie and honestly? deserved. love a spoiled queen.

- FUCK aegon

- i don't even go here actually but i'm sad over rhaenys and meleys like. i will defend granny vhagar's design but also. i cannot defend you on this one granny. (also who the fuck thought parading meleys' head around the common folk was a good idea??? like yasssss show off how you can just kill the symbol of your power!!! good job!!! fucking dumbass omfg)

- the whole exchange that went like:

"and what would you call the husband of the queen?"

"the king"

"there you have it."

"-consort."

was wild like he ate daemon up so bad omfg....

- on the other hand: daemon cutting that guy's head of for calling rhaenyra's kids bastards and her a whore was so slay of him (literally) like that, and the "we fight for our queen" part? i'm afraid he ate with that, he really did.

okay that's all byeeeee

[jelloia]

// tot cn server spoilers

so a new 4 ssr banner just dropped on cn, and i am now revived from the dead.

(like hello?? angst? dragons? angst AND dragons?? guilty pleasure TIMES TWO DOUBLE KO)

SO! i present to you: little specific details that are making me go FERAL

---

first up!! luke

what can i say... i love my men in pain and hopelessly in love

but like also the heterochromia is SO yummy and the intimate embrace as lukerosa plummet to earth while everything is on fire around them is so me-core

2. second! artem

i know nothing about game of thrones but this is so game of thrones!! LIKE smth is so attractive about normal, cleanly-dressed artem now clad so gorgeously & elaborately like the knee guard and the SWORD and the way he's looking down on me cough-

i say this but as soon as rosa appears, i can only look at her like forget artem's toned abs LOOK at how ethereal my queen is she looks like a goddess!! (also damn artem's hand is big ... )

3. third ~~ vyn!

literally the only thing i can focus on is how luscious vyn's hair is like wth i want a hair transplant. lowkey the blue blood is kinda disturbing to me for some reason

but anyways look at rosa again!! she's dressed up as a knight :0000 you know what that means.... (i love pain & forbidden love) (also like her fingers are blue and frostbitten--vyn you better take care of your girl)

4. last but not least... marius !!

aww he's in pain... hair all ruffled and disheveled... even his dragon is crying :(

(i kinda like it tho)

highkey the evolution just gives marius' halloween card, upgraded edition, but LOOK! AT! ROSA! oml her hair and outfit she has never looked more like a beautiful elf

and like OMFG her hands are so!! attractive!! too!! i am a huge sucker for black tipped fingers and WHAHSBHJ this is the perfect lil disruption to her angelic depiction

---

conclusion

my personal fav is artem's just cause i can't tear my eyes away from how gorg he looks in first evol then how gorg rosa looks in second but luke's is a very close second! but augh vyn's too... and i gotta stay faithful to marius...

so. basically. i will be pulling for all of these when they come out to global.

For the ask game "Sonder" also sounds interesting, love death note.

omfg I also love death note

This is, admittedly, one of my "closer to wallowing in tragedy" sort of stories. After Light's death, Armo Justin issues him a punishment (not because he particularly cares about Light's misuse of the Death Note, but because it amuses him): he needs to gain sonder. He's condemned to an alternate reality, where he will live out an entire lifetime from childhood onward as an orphan at Wammy House, growing up alongside L and all of the others.

A shadow cast itself over the human’s face. “The Death Note was brought into my world by a shinigami. And now I am to be judged by the shinigami for what I did with it?” Armonia chuckled low in his throat, casting his leg over the arm of his skull throne. “Yeah, you’re not used to being on the receiving end of judgment anymore, are you? But did you really think you’d be able to slaughter so many people and just… what, walk it off? Nah, it’s community service for you.” “Community service…?” The boy sounded utterly incredulous, his stale and broken voice cracking. “What is that supposed to mean?” “Exactly what I said,” Armonia shrugged. “Listen, we both know that, in life? You were an asshole. And you didn’t learn a damn thing, either. See, that’s not what life is about. You believe in metempsychosis, kid?” “You mean like reincarnation? Not particularly, no.” He was a bundle of joy, and no mistake. Armonia would have bet some of his own years that very few of the tears at his funeral were genuine. “Then let me ask you this. What do you think the purpose of existence is? Philosophers have apparently bickered about this point for years, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume you have some theory.” “That’s simple,” the arrogant child said. “The purpose of existence is to gain everything you can in the time that you’re alive. Whether it’s knowledge, power… And to use that in whatever capacity you can. Whether you’re meant to serve… or to lead.” “Alright,” Armonia said. “And what of substance did you, Yagami Light, gain in this life?” “I learned what I was meant to do,” Light said certainly. “And I brought change to the world… I was only stopped before I could bring about any true change. It… it wasn’t enough. I wasn’t done.” He was shaking a little, his eyes lost tracking with Armonia. Didn’t speak well for his own conviction. Armonia laughed, a harsh, dry bark that rattled out of his skeletal chest. “And what do you have to show for it, huh, boy? Feel like a god now?” His hand balled into a fist and grinded into the dry hard ground. His teeth gritted and he hung his head low, staring up at the shinigami through his bangs. “Don’t mock me.” “Eh, you’re just pissed because you know I’m right,” Armonia said, completely disinterested in the child’s emotional fit. “Well, lucky for you, I’ve picked exactly the punishment that you deserve. Tell me something. Are you familiar with the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows?” The kid looked like he a lot of other things to say. But he swallowed it all for now. “Can’t say I’ve had the dubious honor.” “You’re going to wish you were, then.” Armonia gestured lightly with his jeweled fingers. “It’s English, and was a project that attempted to coin words for strange human emotions and experiences that had no phrase attached to them. One word, ‘sonder’, will become very pertinent to you in the near future.” He tilted his head. “But don’t worry. You’re going to have between fifteen to twenty long, fruitful years to learn that word for yourself.” “Fifteen to twenty years?!” Light sprang upward from where he sat. “Just what the hell are you planning to do to me? Out with it!” “You’ll see,” Armonia said. “I’d recommend just hanging on for the ride, though. After all, this isn’t some life flashing before your eyes bullshit. This is real time. But don’t worry, kid. It’s not really real.” He sat up, leaning forward to look at Light. “I wonder… did you ever take the time to contemplate the effect your actions had on others?” Light glared. But this time… he hesitated. “...I knew exactly what I was doing.” It sounded like he was going to say more at first but then… he stopped himself. “Oh, that’s good.” Armonia smiled again. “Then this won’t be too bad for you at all.” He raised his hand and snapped. And, just like that, the boy was gone again.

Omfg lmao I love how fucking insane men are like fr in game of thrones the ironborn aka the city/kingdom that loves seawater or whatever confirm the choice of their leader like the whole witch crucifixion energy.

Like these mfs will do the crowing ceremony by holding the king's head underwater till he drowns them drag him out n just stand there n wait until the mf hopefully wakes up/throws up the water/resuscitates himself or whatever the fuck

Like not even any CPR they just stand there like- I hope his body suddenly decides to miraculously un-drown.

What the fuck 😂 these bitches CRAZY

[freelanceexorcist]

Some more comments on the demo.

I'm not able to play it because I don't have a PS5 and there won't be one in the cards for a while, but I at least found a good, thorough playthrough that didn't have some streamer yammering over the dialogue, so that will have to do.

I'm writing as a I watch, so there's gonna be a lot here.

Cut for Rebirth spoilers (and a Game of Thrones one) and length.

-I loved seeing Sephiroth act and speak so casually! Back then, he really was just a guy, huh?

-And holy crap, is that seriously Caleb Pierce doing the voice of Shinra Security Officer Who Is Actually Cloud? Kinda on the nose, but I like it. Maybe in Cloud's dumpster fire of a psyche, not only does he remember being the SOLDIER 1st Class, but he remembers Zack as being the security guard.

-OMFG, Master Zangan! LOL, this fuckin guy. Three seconds after meeting Cloud he's feeling him up! And man, he's got some huge Patrick Warburton energy going on.

-Only three beds in the room at the inn? Guess one of the boys is gonna have to double up with Sephiroth.

-Let me just state for the record that I really like Cloud as a character. That said, when he was a teenager? He was, uh...a wee bit of a creeper. His favorite spot to hang out just happens to face what I assume is Tifa's bedroom window. And what does he do when he knows he's alone in the house? Goes into her bedroom and starts going through her stuff. At least the ladies called his ass out for that this time, because that sequence never did sit right with me.

-I'll bet Sephiroth was ready to buy Random Villager Guy a drink. RVG keeping those looky loos and stans away like a champ! He even had to keep them away from the INN! I really understand why he wanted nothing to do with the "hero" role. Yep, let Genesis go be the Taylor Swift of the FFVII-verse and see how HE likes it.

-Tifa is so tiny next to Sephiroth! Then again, everyone is. Dude's a freakin' TANK.

-Wow, that photographer's an even bigger asshole this time around. Seriously, dude? Taking a picture not only without Sephiroth's permission but when his back is turned?

-The "oh...FINE!" body language when Cloud asked, though.

-And I reiterate. Sephiroth. SUCH a bro here. All I hear is Clark Kent when he talks.

-So it just occurred to me that Sephiroth was deliberately the first one to fall in the river because he knew he'd have to save everyone and he didn't even know how far of a drop it was. That bridge collapsed under the sheer weight of his balls.

-And his horror and devastation at losing one of his men will never not gut me. Everyone was dry by the time he got back, so you know he was out there looking for that dude for a LONG time, too. That's a huge change from "sorry for your luck, pal, but we have a mission to finish." That's what makes his tragic fall all the more inexplicable. In the OG, his coldness had you thinking "yeah, I can see this guy having a Face-Heel Turn easy." But here? With him so protective of those weaker than him and his emotional investment in his people? You don't go from that to "burn them all," even when a severe mental breakdown is involved. I may talk more about this later. ("Oh. Yay." --everybody)

-*Sephiroth has joined the party*-

-Serious question: is there anything in the lore that I missed that states there's no PPE that can protect from mako? Because when Sephiroth said "mako this thick is very dangerous," I thought "maybe bring some respirators next time then?" Yeah, probably no NIOSH rating high enough to filter out spirit energy.

-Yep, definitely no love lost between Seph and the sperm donor.

-Yeah, Barret, it's not making a whole lot of sense to me either at this point.

-"Am I even...human?" Fuck. It's going even harder in Rebirth.

-And the library sequence. Double fuck. The rage in his voice at the end. The madness. And that strange breathing after he glitched? I'll bet he was trying to fight off Jenova and he failed. Sorry, Vincent, but I think Seph is the one that should be able to take out Hojo.

Aaaand that's enough self-imposed psychological torture for the day. I can't watch what comes next.

Jenova used his anger, his devastation and his sleep deprivation to get a toehold. Which makes me think, what if in the trilogy's lore she started piloting him? No, I don't mean controlling his mind or even heavily influencing him? What if she's using him as a vessel? I mean like the deities, angels and demons on Supernatural. She's driving the boat now, and he's in the back of his mind screaming, because he's aware of the things she's making her new meat suit do and he can't stop it.

I'm not trying to let anyone's dirty rotten CGI girlfriend-ganking butt off the hook here if anyone wants to accuse me of that sort of thing. I'm merely saying that burning a village full of innocents is not the actions to expect from the Sephiroth we've come to know in the demo. Yes, he's a SOLDIER who has probably had to do some very unpleasant things under orders, but there was no reason for this. Going from zero to genocide straight out of the blue is inexplicable, I don't care how bad the mental breakdown was.

It's just the only thing that makes sense at this point. People like him get angry, sure. They rage, sure. They swear vengeance on the people who wronged them, sure. But they don't kill innocent people because of it and in such a horrific way. At their most violent, they may find Hojo and try to see how loudly and for how long he can scream.

Bog standard villains don't get this kind of "good guy" lead up to their nefarious deeds, and he's getting that treatment big time from both Rebirth and Ever Crisis. That's usually only reserved for the Chaotic Neutral and redeemable types that were supposed to like. There's nothing in that backstory so far to suggest that he was capable of a Nibelheim-level mass murder. Sure, there's headcanons that he was just a fuse waiting to be lit, but nothing official even hints at that. This came out of NOWHERE.

Maybe I'm not seeing the big picture or whatever, but the extreme change in behavior, the senseless violence...why would FFVII do that to the audience? To torture us? That's just cruel. Even Game of Thrones didn't do the audience that dirty with Danaerys Targaryen (if you didn't see her Face-Heel Turn coming from a mile away, you were watching a different show than me, because she was always a Heel. She just brutalized people who had it coming until King's Landing.).

And I'm out. If you've managed to stick around this long or even read this at all, thank you. If you want to argue, please save it for another day because I'm REALLY not in the mood. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go drink. A lot.

[glutaminase]

Just saw a post with 15k+ notes saying it’s illegal for a minor to read any fiction with any nsfw content in it whatsoever and that you can be legally prosecuted for that as a fic writer and im just wondering what do these people think happens to like YA authors who include sex in their books. Should we arrest laurie halse anderson. What about the librarian who let me check out all the game of thrones books when i was in middle school. Do i need to report my 9th grade english teacher to the FBI for showing us the 1968 romeo and juliet movie without skipping the sex scene?? Like how do you people think the world works omfg you are not gonna get ARRESTED for not immediately blocking every 17 year old who leaves kudos on your M rated fanfic

[tsuki-sennin]

With God Kabuto and God Scorpion having been revived and willing to stand against the Underground Empire Bognaarok, Yanma and Himeno affirm their belief in Gira by allowing him to steal away into the night. Gira returns to his orphanage in Shugoddam only to find that the royal guard has taken the children as collateral. Rita lays out Racules's terms for Gira: a duel to the death for the sake of the throne.

Thus the story goes~!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Rita stands as our referee.

-Oh and of course Gira gets put in the deep freeze.

-Seems like Hastie's ad

-Gira Did Nothing Wrong

-"Peaceful Protest? In MY Neighborhood?!"

-Kaguragi, you motherfucker <3

-Whoa, take it easy man!

-This may be an odd comparison, but like...

-Racules reminds me a lot of Reaver from the Fable series, if you ever played those games. Like, the way he talks, the manipulation, the coldbloodedness...

-...I wonder if he does kill steals during a game's (anti)-climax?

-Yoooo, Yanma! :D

-...are you guys burning your own flag?

-Giiii-ra!

-"Louder, you motherfuckers!"

-Himeno on Zoom.

-...er uh... whatever they call it there, Zomo.

-"Eh, y'know, not the worst thing to happen..."

-God Kuwagata wasn't there for us.

-Rita can hear you just fine, Himeno.

-"Do you... not want him~?"

-Oh hello Dezzy.

-Seems like Jimmy's not impressing you.

-OHHHHH HELLO

-Everywhere and nowhere. A mere phantom.

-Scorpi Venom?

-Scorched Peanuts.

-"Please tell me about your kidnapping, Gira-kun."

-Ohhhhhhh, Rita

-Extortion of the highest order.

-Ah yep. Scorpi was extorted.

-"You dare doubt a KING!?"

-"It's a super special present~!"

-Ah yes! Poison! That is totally not purple food dye.

-Fighting dirty!

-I'm gonna be real, I don't quite get your plan here, man.

-Like, I sure hope you burned off your fingerprints before swiping that sample.

-Gira vs. Racules. It's battle time.

-Go Gira!

-"Surrender or death. There is no other victory."

-Ohhhhhhhh

-Here comes the battle.

-"En garde... Allez!"

-Oh Qua God!

-Ohgai Busou!

-Lord of the Shugod!

-Ohkuwagata Ohger!

-King Racules stood beneath the blue sky. A golden sword in his right hand and silver armor covering his body. A sneer no doubt crossed his face beneath the visor as Ohkuwagata Ohger extended the OhgerCalibur ZERO. Its status as a prototype for Gira's own weapon was made clear as day by a stripped down frame. It'd be a truly challenging battle... but Gira understood there was truly no way he could back down.

-Hot damn. Racules definitely does know how to use it.

-"What the fuck are you doing?"

-Let's goooo!

-"Gira's Mine :3"

-Omfg this style

-ANESTHETIC

-"Yep~! ...Er... wait, did I? :3"

-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

-"Kaguragi, I understand this is something extremely difficult for you to do, but please be honest with me."

-Motherfucker went soaring!

-"Surrender or die. Those are your only choices."

-Gira wants you to laugh.

-Racules was so threatened by a child.

-The Undefeated King of Evil stands!

-Ooooooh that unmasked shot was cool

-Ohger Finish!

-"Giraaaaaaa~! My bestie~!" THAT IS NOT YANMA THAT'S THE BUG GUY

-"HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME?!"

-Seizure Meds

-"Save who, boy?"

-HOLY SHIT

-RACULES YOU-

-Jesus Christ, the way he plays this game

-What the fuck are you doing, Kaguragi?

-The undefeated king of evil. Falling to his doom, with only the lost children to mourn him.

-"Racules Wins. Fatality."

-"Gira? :("

-That plan of yours was absolutely insane.

-"Uh about that, you're dead..."

-OH?

-That must be God Batta.

-God Hopper? God Kirigirisu?

-Gira's a dead man walking. There's no way he can be declared dead in absentia in such a short amount of time, so he's definitely not gonna be out of the public eye for long.

73 hours, 159 level ups. I beat Elden Ring.

I bit the bullet, after fighting Dragonlord and defeating him, i then went on to first try all the final bosses of this masterpiece.

First of my Endgame tour, was Dragonlord. What a PAIN in the Ass to fight. Took me three tries. Of course, being a FromSoft game, Elden Ring's optional fights are the hardest. Malenia and Placidusax are no exeptions. But, at least, Malenia doesn't fucking teleport around. Sure, she's hard. But.. Placidusax is just terrible. One day, im going to get all the Sorceries/Incantations for the trophy, and when i do.. I'll be one overleved sorcerer. But as for Daedra, FUCK NO! He's not going to go against Placi for a VERY long time, if ever again. Hated this boss. If you do this boss, be a VERY high level. I was 152. Recommending being 160 and higher with ALOT of vigor.

Second.. Maliketh. My fucking FAVORITE fight in this whole game.. First tried. Best music, my all time favorite boss and character. He's what really got me wanting Elden Ring, so to beat him first try was.. Unbelievable to me. I thought he was an optional Endgame boss.. Like Farum Azula was optional to go to. But NOPE get FUCKED emotions. I love him so much.. Plus, I completed Gurranq's quest before doing Mali, so i got the special dialogue i wanted. :) Fav boss 10/10 will always look forward to fighting him.

Third, Gideon. I destined deathed his ass.. First try. He didn't even hit me- I sure showed him! Becoming Elden Lord and all. So sad that he chooses to fight against us as he doesn't believe a Tarnished could even be Elden Lord. Shame, he woulda been a good advisor for us.

Fourth, Godfrey. Annoying second phase, but overall a pretty fun fight. First try. Poor Serosh.. Godfrey is such a good guy though. Commending us for our strength and how a crown befits it.. Aww thanks man. Basically the first boss to be like 'WOW man. Your strong. Go for it.' Chivalry's not dead!

Fifth.. Radagon/Elden Beast. My gods.. Where do i begin? Radagon is an asskicker, that's for sure.. Poor fucking guy. First try. Kicked me and my Mimic Tear's asses like were nothing! I so wish we could do something for him, other than just killing him. I won't get into his lore and so fourth, but he was probably a pretty good guy, not motivated politically like Marika, kinda almost opposite of her. He was everything Marika didn't want to be. And i wish we could help Rennala too.. Fought the good fight, but in the end it just wasn't enough Rada 💔

Elden Beast, what a beautiful boss theme omfg.. Only had 5 flasks when i started with 12 on Radagon. Annoying because it can just go under the water.. But not as awful as Dragonlord. A good Final Boss, since its a 2-for-1 kinda deal. Drained me of all my crimson, but i still bested it.

The ending i got? I got the Duskborn Ending. And.. I got chills. I fucking love this game, and am crying. Just watching death be restored to the Land's Between.. People can finally just die again, things will never be the same though. Just Daedra, sitting on that throne, watching.. It felt profound, yet oddly comforting. I didn't get the same feeling i did after DS3, because after DS3 i felt a little... Hollow. Haha! Get it? Anyway.. I instantly hopped into NG+ as i got addicted to DS3.

With Elden Ring though, it was rather accomplishing. I think i forgot a Talisman for the legendary Talisman trophy, but seeing the Erdtree and Roundtable hold on fire.. It felt so empty. So. Entered Ng+ like a madman, and now I'm going to do it all over again! Yknow.. Except for Dragonlord (ESPECIALLY Dragonlord.), Fortissax, and Malenia. I don't even need to explain.. Lol

But then again, I ran through all DS3 bosses way after i capped NG+7. And i mean.. All of them. Even the DLC bosses. I found it fun to fight Midir in NG+7. Gael not so much, but you know :) Souls player's love doing crazy shit.

My plans are so- I either stay in NG+ as Dae, get/wait to get Age of Stars ending, or i move on and do as i did in DS3 and NG+7 the game before the DLC comes out. Or.. OR I take Tennren, my Sorcerer Build and do the Age of Order ending. THEN do the DLC with him, before diving in with Daedra. But I'll probably have Daedra go through the DLC first, because :)

The EldenSoulsBorne series is just a magnificent series, renound for it's twisting and turning lore, incredible stories to be uncovered and pondered- the punishing difficulty, staggering new player's, causing them to just drop the game, never to return. It happens with all the Souls games, if you don't know what your doing.

But these games, once you learn one, you will find it a breeze to go through all the other ones. I learned DS3 after about.. A whole three months of playing it, i think? It came out April, in 2016.. I bought it then. But took like.. A week break, because it was just so hard.

But the journey.. It was incredible. I'm so utterly blown away by all the stories Souls has to offer. All stories are beautiful, yet similar. So different, but are almost the same.. It's something I've never encountered before. EldenSoulsBorne will always habe place as #1 in my heart, because it just.. Speaks to me.

As I've said, I've completed DS3, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 1, and now Elden Ring. DS2 is on its way to being completed.. I'm a fairly decent level and don't exactly expect too much trouble with the DLC's and endgame. But man..

Elden Ring hits different. All Souls have that unique hit on you, actually.. No Souls game will punch you in the heart and dick the exact same way.. I will always cherish these games, and the impact they made on my life.

If you haven't played one of the aforementioned games, i suggest, that if you are ever so eager, to start with Dark Souls 3. It's among the easier side of Souls games, but its still plenty challenging. These games prove difficult at first, but they are oh so rewarding when you learn them.

Thanks for reading.

I was so excited to jump into this 'cause Frenchie is mon petit ami 😍💙🤍❤️

“Oh, really? That limey bastard?” he remarks. He takes a sip from his tumbler of whiskey.

Yeah, I don't buy it for a second that it doesn't bother him 😂 He's probably quietly plotting a murder. Ben's like a toddler – when they're suddenly silent, you should be concerned 🤣

“So you’re chill?” you ask. “Chill?” he quirks a brow at you. Your lips form a smile. “You’re okay with this,” you amend.

Oh, Ben... Using pop culture and slang never gets old (unlike him) 😂😂😂

You’d put him on to Game of Thrones. Even three seasons into his binge-watching, he doesn’t want to admit that he’s hooked.

He probably loved Khal Drogo 😆

And his reply about fucking a real man was spot on 🙄

But omfg I loved how strong Frenchie came in. I laughed right through that entire conversation knowing how it must trigger the shit outta Ben 😂

Un vrai homme ne peut pas rivaliser avec un amoureux français 😏🔥

You laugh, but you bump into Ben when you twirl for the second time. Your laughter cuts off abruptly when you see the flinty look on his face, though he’s clinging to stoicism.

I can't tell you how much I fucking loved this whole scene. I snorted out loud. That whole thing was perfection and I could so clearly see this play out in my mind 🤣🤣🤣

Frenchie’s eyes widen as he seems to realize the very real danger he’s put himself in.

He knew Ben's about to storm Normandy for real this time lmao

You try not to smile in amusement. It’s a caveman’s display, but at least you know the root cause this time.

His reaction was hilarious and so spot on 😆👏

Ben’s gaze hardens. “I don’t know. You were pretty happy to let that French whore put his fucking hands all over you—”

DECEASED – MORTE 🤣 Finally found the French whore comment. Perfect use 😆🫶

You and Frenchie have bounced off each other like Derek and Garcia for so long, you didn’t even realize how it might look…or how it might make your boyfriend feel.

YOU DID NOT JUST DROP A CRIMINAL MINDS REFERENCE 😍😍😍

Zep, this whole thing was a masterpiece! You nailed his reaction, but the little details and comments in between truly made this amazing 😍👏💚

Imagine: Soldier Boy Getting Jealous...

Pairing: Soldier Boy (Ben) x F. Reader || (past Frenchie x F. Reader)

Request: Soldier Boy finding out you had something with Frenchie, years before meeting him.

Word Count: 1K

Tags/Warnings: Jealousy lol (With a hint of spice.~)

Imagine: Ben getting jealous over your past relationship with Frenchie.

He doesn't care.

Because he doesn't care...

When you sit him down in the living room of your apartment and tell him you used to date Frenchie, Ben's reaction is mild at best. To the point where it kind of concerns you.

Ben raises a brow and gives a deep hum.

"Oh, really? That limey bastard?" he remarks. He takes a sip from his tumbler of whiskey. You give him a weary sigh.

"I'd appreciate it if you didn't call him that," you reply. You and Frenchie are still friends. Your "entanglement" was years ago, before he even started hooking up with Cherie.

But you still want to be honest with Ben. You two have been dating for a few months now, and it's actually serious. No one's more surprised than you by that fact, but...you're happy. You think he is too.

At your response, however, Ben rolls his eyes and continues drinking. You tilt your head in suspicion.

"So you're chill?" you ask.

"Chill?" he quirks a brow at you. Your lips form a smile.

"You're okay with this," you amend.

Ben shrugs and turns on the TV, trying to navigate the streaming apps. You’d put him on to Game of Thrones. Even three seasons into his binge-watching, he doesn’t want to admit that he’s hooked.

"You're fucking a real man now, sweetheart. No skin off my nose," he says.

It's your turn to roll your eyes, despite a warm blush stinging your cheeks.

But the next time you all go out together to a club in the city, Ben watches you leave his side to say hello to your friends: Annie, Hughie, Frenchie and Kimiko. Frenchie takes your hands and makes a show of looking you up and down.

"Well, well. She shoots to kill tonight, eh?" Frenchie says. When he leans in to kiss your cheek, he whispers, "Ah, black leather. My old favorite."

"Stop," you warn with a smile, hitting his shoulder. He's absolutely shameless. "You're too much."

"And you are just enough," Frenchie returns. He whistles playfully as he raises your hand to twirl you around, showing you off in your little black dress and red-bottom heels.

You laugh, but you bump into Ben when you twirl for the second time. Your laughter cuts off abruptly when you see the flinty look on his face, though he's clinging to stoicism.

Frenchie’s eyes widen as he seems to realize the very real danger he's put himself in. He wisely lets go of your hand, pivots on his heel and goes with Kimiko over to the dance floor.

Meanwhile, you move back to Ben's side and try to placate him by looping your arm through his. He responds by wrapping a strong arm around your waist. His eyes bore into the back of Frenchie's head so hard, you almost expect laser beams to come out of them.

"Come on, let's get a drink," you suggest, patting a hand on Ben's chest. He looks good tonight in a burgundy button-down shirt tucked into his slacks.

Ben wordlessly agrees to your suggestion, but he grabs a stool and drags it close to his own seat. He does help you by the hand onto the stool, but then his arm wraps back around your waist, pulling you in snugly, possessively to his side.

You try not to smile in amusement. It's a caveman's display, but at least you know the root cause this time.

...Okay, maybe you feel the tiniest bit complicit, but really, you think Ben's overreacting.

After he flags down the bartender and orders his bourbon and your martini, you tap against his bearded cheek, earning his green-eyed attention.

"You okay?" you ask knowingly.

"Just fine," he deadpans.

"Oh, well that's convincing," you say with a smile. "Do I need to remind you that I'm here with you?"

Ben's gaze hardens. "I don't know. You were pretty happy to let that French whore put his fucking hands all over you—"

"All right. Calm down, Rambo," you say, trying not to laugh as you rub his arm. "Sorry, baby. That's just how we've always cut up. It doesn't mean anything."

Ben scoffs in derision. "Yeah? Fuck if I care."

You frown at that, sparking with annoyance. Somehow, now you actually do feel guilty. You and Frenchie have bounced off each other like Derek and Garcia for so long, you didn't even realize how it might look...or how it might make your boyfriend feel.

Because even with all that ego and injured pride, you have a feeling there's a real sting of hurt under there.

"Hey," you say, squeezing Ben's wrist. His gaze remains stubbornly on the bartender making your drinks.

You decide to take matters more firmly into your hands.

Reaching up for his chin, you guide Ben's face toward yours and press a kiss to his lips. It's slow at first, but it soon gains in passion. His teeth graze your bottom lip, before his tongue demands entrance into your mouth with claiming purpose.

It elicits a hint of a moan from you, your fingers clenching in his hair. Your nails drag against his scalp, almost making him shudder.

Your supple lips eventually pull away from his, nice and slow.

"Your hands are the only hands I care about touching me," you say. Your expression twinkles with mischief as you toy with the zipper on the side of your dress.

"As a matter of fact, I need your help," you add. "This zipper keeps catching on something. I think it's stuck."

Quite possibly because someone got a little handsy in the cab on the way here.

Ben smirks, though he claims your lips in one more slightly rough kiss before he answers.

"Well that is a problem," he says. His eyes roam down your face, taking in your thoroughly kissed lips, and the cleavage peeking out at him from the neckline of your dress.

"Think I can give you a hand," he says, as his actual hand slips down your leg. His fingers brush along the inside of your thigh, tingling across your skin. His half-lidded gaze once again meeting yours. "Better take you out back and fix you up."

You laugh, despite the return of your blush. You cling to his shoulders, while his fingers burn a tantalizing trail upwards.

"Oh, yeah. Save me, Soldier Boy!" you tease.

He snorts in response, but he helps guide you out of your seat.

Moments later, all your friends find at the bar are two forgotten drinks and a couple of empty stools.

AN: Ah, jealous Ben. It's fun to imagine. 😂

Go for that fics!!!

I just see you post some Dropout content on your profile and I was thrilled, I have always want to get to A crown of Candy, is it worth it?

Also, about my last ask. About the Cursed Child, you really aren't missing something, I don't emember a lot of things of the actual book, but I always wanted to see the stage play (Is that how you said it?)

And about the characters, their like not that known, Amelia I think was some government figure that kinda have some more years than Marauders, kinda on the Alice/Frank/Narcissa year. Bruce is just Bruce Mulciber along with the snape gang, another sub-fandom of harry potter with Severus not being such an asshole as he is in canon and, they are just so fanon, but with canon characters like Charity Burbage (Muggle Study proffesor in canon), Wilkes, Sinistra and Avery Jr.

This characters are adult names that were mencioned, like Shackelbolt, Benjy, the prewetts, Vanity, emmeline, I hope that make sense.

You’ve opened a can of worms—a crown of candy is SO UNDERRATED and unsleeping city but that’s another day, ACOC is,,,it’s heartbreaking, hysterical, epic, omfg it’s game of thrones with food people and I mean GAME OF THRONES Brennan puts the intrepid hero’s through it that season so prepare to cry a lot I’m not even kidding but it’s AMAZING and then ravening war with Matt mercer as the dm are you joking!?! Watch itttttt

I’ve heard of charity and Emmeline but other than that I know nothing else about the marauders it’s bad haha I know jegulus the most because they’re my otp

[auroratumbles]

dumps this here

genshin is like such a good games oml like the music the storyline especially sumeru is so well written like omg can it go on forever because it’s too good to stop and also I’m so excited for khaenriah and stuff because the storyline seems interesting and THE LORE?? LIKE BRO OMFG GUVE ME THSOE WIRITNF SKILLS like please send help I will explode if genshin gets deleted and I will physically and mentally and emotionally and horizontally and spiritually die because please it’s so good like oml THE CHARACTER DESIGNS LIKE PLEASE SEND SOME HELP THEYRE SOO GOOD AND PRETTU liek I wanna draw them so bad but I have no drawing skills so I’ll just settle for writing fanfictions and cosplaying ESPECIALLT FURINA MY PLATONIC LOVE i lobe the heterochromia and THE DRIP?? AHHHHHH also i canr forget the region desifns like omgggggg 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 the regions are so pretty and like INAZUMA??? ALSO I love how they go into depth about the character lore n stuff and give them all unique personalities I can’t get myself to even mildly dislike any characters and have I mentioned how well written it is like I love the idea of a prophecy in the region of hydro/water saying that the water will dissolve the whole nation and leave the hydro archon weeping on her throne at the loss and I love how in it it says that whenever it rains in Fontaine it means the hydro dragon (neuvillette) is crying I just love the concept also INAZUMA??? AND also the fact that there are two electro twins and two different electro slime twins such a cool touch and also we can’t forget the similarities from the other archons respective slimes like that’s so creative?? I also love how they tied everything together like how rukkhadevata left the last remaining consciousness of the lord of Amrita in sumeru in a hydro tree that cleans sins and breaking the law counts as a sin and the hydro nation arrests anyone who breaks the law and Amrita was the old archon and like Mondstadt??? also I love how all the allogenes (vision holders) have something in common like how all the anemo vision users have lost someone and the geo users always have a goal to improve themselves and the pyro have a passion and electro have something to protect and etc. etc like oml so well written I swear also like I love how they involve the abyss or fatui in everything like saying how the abyss are the hilichurls and monsters and the fatui are pulling the strings in the background like how they manipulated raiden to start the vision hunt decree I love that also how they have ulterior motives and yk how the gnoses are shaped as chess pieces and in winter nights lazzo they added a chessboard with the chess pieces being replaced by gnosis like woahhhh that’s an amazing concept also LIYUE?? I love how zhongli faked his death so he could live a normal life and how all the archons/gods have flaws like they even made the gods imperfect oml??

AAND I THINK IM NOT DONE IM JUST TOO TIRED TO WRITE NAYJTINF ELSE ILL DO IT TMR

[dondusthefirstconsul]

I first read this when I was at school and damn I almost died I wanted to burst out of my skin from just thinking about Geta in the party scene when he's giggling and prancing around and he's so overwhelmed with joy and excitement ahhhhhhh that beautiful beautiful boy.

Now that I'm home I started thinking about the way they show their emotions and you're right they're the only ones we see show these overt emotions (besides like Lucius who's main character arc is how he's filled with despair and sadness turned to rage) and it highlights so well how they are portrayed as unhinged and unstable and also childish and unfit to be rulers.

Caracalla is laughing in many scenes, very open about his joy. He openly shows his frustration too when he's bored or stressed/agitated. Like in the party scene and also when he raises his voice at Geta "Can't you hear them they're calling for our heads!" I think he's trying to cope/control his fear and anxiety by feeding Dondus in that scene. Macrinus tells Caracalla to go "calm Dondus" and in the script he does do exactly that but in the movie he's under the table crying. So I guess it wasn't intended in the script to even have him be all that sad/fearful. But they made the executive decision to have Geta throw his drink at Caracalla and have him shut down and then go break down. Overall he's not as open about his sadness or maybe not as in touch with it as Geta? Maybe he's learnt to take out his feelings of sadness as violence and aggression or maybe it comes to him naturally. When Acacius and Lucilla betrayed them his sadness and disappointment manifested into uncontrollable rage and aggression rather than crying. (omfg remembered him sitting on his throne playing with the sword in the background again and now I'm dying)

Geta can hardly contain himself when he's really tuned into the games, he shows his excitement very physically, jerking forwards and eyes locked in not taking them away from what he's focused on for a second. Caracalla is not jerking around in his chair even if he is also very capable of getting up like when they jump up to go look over the railing to see better into the arena. Geta is always more high strung. Caracalla is sitting in the background, leaning back, lounging in his seat, he's not pacing around like Geta is. Geta is leaning forward, on the edge of his seat when he's seen sitting, ready to jump up. He's never relaxed. He can't sit still or relax ever not even when he's having fun.

Thinking about how Geta will show no emotion whatsoever when he's performing as an emperor, but how in reality, he's such a feeling character.

He won't even blink when he crowns Acacius with laurels. He gets the same way when Lucius challenges his authority: standing tall, piercing stare, no flinching.

But a split second before that? The joy that he's showing, that he can't show in just one way. He doesn't just shout his excitement: he paces with it, spins around with it, his voice expressive, even shaky, with just his emotion.

And when he's hurt and afraid? Always with tears in his eyes. His voice shakes again, he can barely hold back from crying in front of Acacius and Lucilla, then Macrinus.

And when the riots break out, he watches them and finding no way out of it, he finally does break down crying, hiding his face into curtains like a little boy to hide his tears and sobs.

Who else cries so openly in this movie? Who else has such joy? Caracalla. Caracalla's equally good with expressing his emotions. There is that. But you expect that from him, because he's uninhibited, he has excuses to indulge in how he feels. Everyone else has learned to suppress what they feel, to any degree that is demanded from an adult in any of their positions - they have a hold of themselves, their outbursts. They choose one way to express themselves without being overwhelmed by feeling. They'll tear up but you won't worry they might utterly collapse under the weight of that grief. They'll smile but you won't have them shrieking of joy, or prancing across the room just to express how they feel. You'll never see them hiding to let the tears come freely.

Geta's such a beautiful character, with his full depth of emotion and human vulnerability. He deserved better than to become just another thing for Macrinus to destroy on his way to power.
