Louis' "You're boring!" Could mean so many things, but I think what's most apparent about that line is that Armand takes no initiative just for himself. He's not really anybody, because he never goes out and finds himself or gets attached to anyone but Louis. Without Louis as his guide he's literally just sitting on a couch picking lint! That's the thing.
He orbits constantly around what would make Louis happy, and never really fully going what would make me happy? Ultimately that drive to please Louis is what drives him to torturing Daniel, not so much that he'd care to just do it. Ultimately, not giving proper care to Louis is just a way to make sure Louis knows he has to orbit around him as well, with shoving Lestat onto him just that other nail on the coffin. So, even if he fails to figure out how to make Louis happy with him, he still knows what Armand is good for, and better than.
That dependency is what drives Armand's abuse. It really just comes down to that. Armand doesn't even realize how suffocated he is by his own dependency. This is just how life is to him. (It shouldn't be lost either that dependency is a theme considering this episode also deals with addiction).
Daniel's fascinating because he's just so driven to be somebody. He's largely independent, he seeks things because he wants them. It's his drug to poke and prod at all the things that he shouldn't. Daniel's exciting because he lets Louis in to something different, lets him in to all this potential in another person that he can also do the same with for himself. It's a real connection. A two way street. It's easy to tell how Armand can be smothering then because he's never introducing him to anything really new, and most the ways both of them connect are all painful and traumatic. It's never just fun because there's always that layer of that pain. Fun died with Claudia.
50 years on they've gotten to a lot better place, both of them, but it's still that same shit. No seriously, "How is this any different from last time, Louis?"
Well... Because Armand's going to be, at the very least, making one [1] decision only for himself - and that's to hold power over Daniel's life. Fucking sick foreshadowing.
They aren't driving each other to the brink anymore but "The vampire is bored" STILL. Maybe it's even worse, despite being in better places, because Louis' sort of just been defeated by it. (I mean, can he even really leave this either?). He's accepting the dependancy cause he kind of has to. He'd literally ended up letting all the enjoyment be up where he can't reach [The book shelves]. Armand so desperately wants Louis happiness but what really ends up happening is that Louis ends up having to give Armand all his own. He's got no one or anything else to get it from. But like an iPad and an over the top eating ritual. Two extremes of what's just more lint picking.
This whole relationship is one I find just tragic inside and out. You have to just pity it, really. There's ways in which you can find yourself feeling bad for both of them. But you can only really be mad at Armand for any of it. Armand, who isn't even 'free' in any sense, having so little concept of his own independence, but is at the same time so controlling over other's. It's a tragic cycle. It's an infuriating one.
Louis at least has the mind to know when enough is enough. If just needing that extra push to get there. Armand's too scared of it being over to even try.

Tom's line about Shiv being selfish and "find[ing] it very hard to think about me" is actually so telling because while it's absolutely true that she rarely takes his position into consideration, Tom never once thinks about what he can do to help Shiv unless it also benefits him.
Every single time he makes a move or sacrifice that might help her, it's always something that he thinks will give him a leg up. He volunteers to take the fall for cruises, not for Shiv, who is in no way implicated, or even for Waystar, but because he thinks it'll ingratiate him to Logan, and the second it seems like he might have to actually follow through on that, he immediately tries to get out of it and even throws Shiv under the bus. Meanwhile, for all that Shiv disregards his interests, there are a number of things she does that only help him, and she's the one who actually sacrifices something and undermines her position with Logan to beg him not to let Tom go to jail.
It just makes it so clear that no matter how much he might love her (and I think he does, in his own compromised way), for him their relationship was always built on the underlying assumption that it's her job to prop him up, but it's not his job to help her.
#i rewatched that ep a few days ago and this was just cooking in my brain for a bit#their relationship is so messy and interesting i want to watch them get a divorce on a loop forever#and like. the wildest thing is that Tom does occasionally do things that don't serve him to help someone else. but its always greg#which you might say is ultimately down to the power dynamics (shiv can do more for tom than he can for her and tom can do more for greg)#but there are still plenty of points where tom actually does have the power to help shiv and chooses not to#and I love how succession never really has a clear 'what this character is telling you is 100% the truth of the story' moments#anytime a character is making a statement like 'this is who you are/who i am' or 'this is what i really want/what you really want' there's#always some kernel of truth to it but the narrative they're spinning is almost never fully honest#you can't take any of it at face value and it's such a good way of showing how they're always on some level 'playing the game'#and like. at a time when so many stories are basically spoon-feeding their audiences it's so nice to have a story that trusts you to#sort through it all and see what's real and what's not and rewards you for putting that work in#succession#4x07 tailgate#succession season 4#failmarriage#shiv roy#tomshiv#tom wambsgans#siobhan roy

Rise of the Ashes - Pt3
End the trial? No way. I just love how confident and classy Edgeworth is every time even if he's bluffing crazy to do what's needed. And it's crazy reckless he went and followed Phoenix's lead. Or rather got a few words from Phoenix and decided to pull the entire case with everyone kicking and screaming.
Lmaooo. Let's burn the world. Gaaaaah. Phoenix is my definite fave but Miles just gets to me every time.
Of course Edgeworth lives to do better. ahahahha. These two are his superiors mind you: his boss he's prosecutor and an executive higher up he's telling a massive Fuck You. He's so classy to booth while doing so.
Of course Edgeworth lives to do better. ahahahha. You just don't know how amazing these two will become. He becomes chief prosecutor. Jap version has the better position for Miles being the Attorney General. I wish the english translation could have done justice to Miles position that's not similar to Lana's. Miles deserves to be higher than both of them. and just as a shout out Phoenix and Miles become so legendary they are basically touchless. They get away with ton of shit they pull in court.
I just love how ballsy Edgeworth is. Like no evidence but he bluffed insanely here to get the case moving.
Edgeworth: Testify.
Judge: ... (Agrees after 3 seconds).
Just the amount of pull he has to get everyone moving. Miles is the type to forcefully move everything and Phoenix is the seducing lady the does the work behind? Sorta.
Lmaooo. I forgot to SS the part of Phoenix. I just love Miles' reaction everytime. A lot is just gold to me. They accuse each other of doing things not being done but you know, it's soooo them. They're so comfy to accuse the other even if they know the other is innocent. And the other would REALLY not be offended.
The Blue Badger is the biggest haunt ever. Drawn nasty. Creepier than Chaka Doll. But it's such a goofy existence needed in AA. It's haunting for an hour. Just imagine a case so big but these two men juuuuust discuss and diss the blue badger for an HOUR!
Phoenix. It will never stop haunting you! Everyone just forgets the Blue Badger is just on that crime. BUT everyone's haunted by it that the vase is a vase. Just imagine discussing the ugly mascot for an hour! hahaha. And Phoenix really started the Blue Badger talk!
That's why Miles is the MVP. Like it's insane how these two represent the sword and the shield! The trial goes on because Edgeworth is a genius. And he doesn't pull punches to keep the trial going. We'll drag everyone no matter the consequence. No matter the scandal it causes.
It's all or nothing. Mind you. one High prosecutor and one rookie defense lawyer is up there. Just pulling the craziest stunts. Everyone is onto them. Especially Edgeworth! Miles is so determined. Consequences be damned. This is more than possibly losing their jobs. The repercussions they might face if things go wrong.
Full throttle!
Like this case is both Miles and Phoenix fighting together literally. The rush I feel in playing AA vs AA5 and AA6 is so different. The first three games does better.
This is just the biggest thing about Phoenix. What made him different compared to others. It's flawed, misguided but with great intentions. Apollo does the best he can. But Phoenix puts so much in himself which is why he's sooo choosy on his clients. He's just as hard on himself like Miles is. Or maybe even higher. He gives so much of himself that client which is a double-edged sword that could destroy him. The betrayal does absolute damage to him mentally given the chance. But, if he's right then great. He sets so high standards on what he could do for others. If that's the case, Phoenix probably needs to set a regular therapy session every case he does. They way Phoenix handles himself is so reckless and might as well be destructive.
And he did make it! It's just as bloody but he made a legend for itself!
This sprite just for this moment is to be savored.
It's not nothing. I don't think any prosecutor could bear what Miles did here. This is why Miles is the best!
And Phoenix knows Miles so well. He knew Miles was having a hard time.
And this what hits the most. There is the now and what comes after.
Still, Miles did everything he could to help.
Miles did awesome!
And he's soooo adorable! Just the complement is way beyond words.
#i still have a last part i need to post but i savored it and will replay the last part because it is gold#the last part is the best#i dont think any other lawyer can outdo edgeworth here#like no one can be so classy but can drag the trial as he does in this case#these two literally burned the world#narumitsu#so much on edgeworth#so much on miles#for the truth#the feels#miles edgeworth#phoenix wright#why phoenix is phoenix#the blue badge will haunt aa forever#aa1#littlestuffs plays aa1#live commentary on aa1

i am sending this ask to a bunch of people. the reason is that i am curious. here it is.
what is your favorite thing about Papyrus in undertale?
do you think Papyrus will be important in deltarune?
what do you think will be Papyrus' role in deltarune?
what do you think of the "Papyrus is the Knight" theory?
what do you think his age will be? adult or teenager? (kid is not an option cus it would be stupid and no fun)
in what chapter do you think he will show up?
if Papyrus is the Knight do you think he will be nice or evil?
if Papyrus is the Knight do you think he knows what the Roaring is?
you are the fourth person i am sending this to.
well lucky you, you caught me in a rambling mood!
i talked more about this a lil while ago now, but to me the biggest appeal of papyrus is that i relate to him a whole lot, lol. his specific form of loneliness where he's very clearly trying really fucking hard and clearly doing all the things people say you're "supposed" to do to try to make friends, but it's just. not working, for whatever reason. it's a pretty hard-hitting feeling for me and it hits deep, and while it's not necessarrily a good feeling, it's definitely my favorite part of Papyrus if only for how well communicated and "real" it is.
putting the rest under a cut because it's gonna get long lol
when it comes to deltarune, my biggest thought towards it since way back in 2018 has been "i don't have any way of knowing what the hell is going on in that dog's brain." so i don't tend to speculate on the game very much outside of fun hypotheticals! i've honestly never been much of a theorist, i prefer letting everybody else be crazy while i'm just sitting back and letting things play out in their own time.
personally, i'd say it'd be nice for papyrus to have a big important role, but in full honesty i do have some doubts about how likely that actually is. for one, he's very much rooted in being a comic-relief character, so he very rarely seems to be written seriously in general, and for two, i don't think he would have much actual weight?
like, we know him as a character from undertale, and papyrus fans might know how mysterious he is, but most of the fandom doesn't see him as mysterious at all. on top of that, the characters in deltarune have no connection to him whatsoever. he's not one of their classmates, or neighbors they grew up with, or anything like that- he's just the grocery store clerk's shut-in little brother who nobody has ever met.
but, again, that brings me back around to "i don't know what's happening in that dog's brain." maybe they'll finally get to hang out with him & he'll become more involved in the story, or maybe he won't ever show up at all! idk!
naturally, all of that applies to my opinion on knight papyrus, too- it would be awesome and so so so so cool if it turns out to be real, but with the issue of nobody knowing him except sans, my faith in it gets a little dimmed. i do think the amount of hints that could connect him to it have been crazy, though, since most of them genuinely don't even feel like that much of a reach. i'll still be pulling out my cork board and red string whenever i possibly see a chance, rest assured
i really want him to be college-aged, ideally the same age as Asriel. one, so they can be besties obviously, and two, because if he suddenly becomes an underage character after ten years of papyrus fans fighting back against rampant infantilization i am going to fucking lose it
my own headcanon until we get to actually see him is that he's much more nervous, borderline agoraphobic, and much more awkward since he hasn't met any of the people that he very likely gained a lot of his personality from in undertale. considering he spends all his time in a dark undecorated house, the angst-loving part of me genuinely really hopes he's not just gonna be written the same as we're used to, lol
and sadly- judging from the previews we've seen of chapters 3-4, and the fact that they'll most likely take place in kris's house and then the church, i have some doubts that we'll see papyrus on june 5th :(. then again, the light world sections are apparently long enough to need their own save points, so maybe that's a good sign too! i'm personally not getting my hopes up, but it'd be a very nice surprise if we see him at all before chapters 5-7, even if it's just a really quick cameo or something :>
and finally, as for what he would be like as the knight & if he would know about the roaring, i actually thought about this some time ago too! i think he could know about the roaring and even actively be trying to cause it, but i don't think that makes him evil, per se. he doesn't know anyone in this town except his brother, making him even more desperately lonely than he was in undertale, and he's not even trying to overcome it this time around.
so, i think he'd get too attached to the fact that darkners literally have to like lightners and want to be their friends, and he'd want to cause the roaring either to be able to live in a world like that forever, or to then stop it himself and make friends by becoming a "hero." i can imagine him being not evil, and honestly not even all that bad (if you ignore the "casting the world into darkness to maybe make some friends" part), just really, really desperate.
#trousled rambles#emphasis on rambles#being a papyrus fan and trying to get hyped for deltarune is a little weird rn ngl#because i do have FULL faith in toby's ability to write a good story. i know deltarune is gonna be something entirely different from-#-anything we've ever seen before (except homestuck probably)#but like. toby is also the guy who said that papyrus wouldn't know what sex is. and it was a while ago obviously and not actually canon#but it still shows that papyrus is very much a comic relief “sheltered” kind of character the very large majority of the time#so much emphasis is put on alphys telling the truth and stopping with the lies but undyne never tells papyrus she's been lying to him#he has his own more serious moments but the ones that aren't the geno run tend to still have a good bit of comedy in them yknow#and idk how well that'd work if he has a bigger role in deltarune- especially as an antagonist- since it has a very different tone overall#if i'm right and he's not in 3-4 either that would be an odd element to put in just the final 3 chapters imo#so all in all i also think there's a good chance he could just be Very in the background and hardly changed personality-wise#which i Would be disappointed about but eh!! it's not like undertale's gonna disappear forever when DR is finished#if i want papyrus as a bigger main character i'll just go play the game where he's a bigger main character lmao#blaugh rambling rambling rambling u get my points..........good beye

Between Sonic and Tails, who do you think would end up confessing their feelings first?
Good question. Definitely depends upon the iteration and context, but for the most part (at least in my head) getting either of them to confess (and in some cases even ruminate on their feelings and admit to themselves the nature of them) is hard
Like, for example, I personally think that game!Sonic (and post sgw Archie Sonic and IDW Sonic) kind of take Tails' presence for granted in a way. To them, it will always be the two of them (Sonic and Tails). The ideal future is that they keep on hanging out and still fight side by side sometimes and that even if Sonic goes it alone he can always come back from his adventures to chill with Tails or crash at his place. In other words, in Sonic's fantasies of the future, things like getting married or raising families or anything like that are just kind of tacked on as something that will just kind of be true at best and ignored at worst. If he even considers a future where things are a bit different because Tails is together™ with someone, to him it's only natural that Tails would be in his life the same way and nothing would really change. And so to that end, even if Sonic DOES realize his own feelings, he probably wouldn't see any good reason to confess. It would make things more complicated, especially if Tails doesn't share those feelings, and he doesn't have to worry anyways because Tails will always prioritize the two of them and be at his side, right?
And then it's even worse for versions of Sonic more akin to, say, pre sgw Archie Sonic. This is because in addition to the already existing unwillingness to change things and the assumption that he doesn't ever have to worry about no longer being the center of Tails' world (or a major figure in it at least), there is some palpable internalized homophobia within that hedgehog with an added complexity. For Archie Sonic in particular, I think even if he realized that he wanted to even be with Tails forever in a strictly non brothers fashion, he would feel mixed feelings about that (perhaps that coming out about it would ruin things or make things weird, or that getting together with Tails at any point would deprive him of "normalcy", or that he'd pressured Tails into it, or even just weird or a bit creepy).
As for Tails, I actually think that most iterations of him have figured their feelings out by this point. In all honesty, there's only so long you can go on fixating on someone and admiring them, and structuring your life around them before you realize your "I want to be with them" isn't just about simply admiring them. It's just that Tails' main obstacle to me is the avoidance of ruining anything.
On one hand, there's Sonic's avoidance to being tied down. We've seen time and time again Sonic rejecting people who pursue him openly or looking uncomfortable with them. Archie Sonic in particular made it clear that this version of Sonic couldn't stand the idea of not being able to freely be himself or adventure. He couldn't stand the idea of having to tie himself down and taking on extra responsibilities and expectations simply because he's with someone. I can see Tails being afraid that by confessing, he could scare Sonic away. If he happened to confess and Sonic thought Tails meant to stifle him or Sonic felt uncomfortable by that open expression, wouldn't that risk their relationship? Even if Sonic wouldn't go so far as to drop him as a best friend (which he never would do that for the record), there's still real fear in making things weird or different between himself and Sonic.
And that feeds right into the other hand. On the other hand, Sonic probably doesn't see him that way, right? Though Sonic is special to him and Sonic also cares for him back, at best Sonic has never thought about it and never will, or he just wouldn't feel the same (in Tails' eyes). With Archie Tails in particular, even if Tails gets over his own interlized homophobia about it and recognizes his feelings for what they are, he probably feels that there's no way to be anything different than a brother to Sonic, and thus confessing would be a terrible move. If Tails confesses and Sonic doesn't feel the same, it also runs the risk of making things weird between them or (in Tails' eyes) ruining it.
All this to say that my general opinion is that as long as things stay exactly the way they are forever, even if they start spending even more time together, I find it hard to believe either of the two will opt into confessing on purpose
But, with that being said, a confession is not an impossibility. I don't think either of the two are immune to being put in a position where they finally confess (and no, with the state of things for them, simply saying "I love you" will not count as a confession). And if we barred situations where like. They're literally about to die or one can do anything they like without the other (or themselves) remembering the outcome, I actually can give you an answer
And honestly, if one of them had to confess eventually, I believe it would probably end up being Sonic.
Why? Well, out of the two, Tails actually sits back and thinks about his emotions more often than not. I think even before he figured out the exact nature of his feelings he knew he felt very strongly for Sonic. But, no matter which media you're touching upon, I feel as if Tails fits into that archetype of "person who has been in love with their best friend since literally forever, but knows their best friend will never feel the same". The longer Tails ruminates on these feelings, the stronger he feels them, the more he watches Sonic (especially as someone who cares about plenty of people other than him), the more time he spends with Sonic, the less incentivized he feels to actually confess. Especially if Sonic would never feel the same, the best Tails can hope for is that things stay the same between them and Sonic never replaces his role.
Or in short, Tails is so in his head about it at this point, it's very hard to convince him that confessing is ever a good idea or necessary.
But while Tails is more obviously attached to Sonic, Sonic is much less obviously attached to Tails and other people as a whole. With him being "free as the wind" and the kind of figure he is, he kind of benefits from having the persona of a guy who doesn't need his friends but (nevertheless) can be assisted by them. He probably seems cool for being so strong and independent while equally caring that people live. But this doesn't mean Sonic doesn't have attachments (far from it). Rather, for Sonic, his attachments to others seem to naturally grow. And the more time he spends with them, the more he grows used to their presence. And especially with someone like Tails, who has been around as his companion the longest, he doesn't sit around long enough to consider that Tails would ever leave his side. Once he grows used to that person, he doesn't have to recognize his attachment or even think about the nature of his own feelings because it is and always has been whatever it is. So, in other words, even if he becomes more and more reliant on the fact that Tails will always be around or that Tails will always assist him, he doesn't have to admit more than "This is what our best friendship is. This is what it's like"
All of this is to say that while my idea of present Tails would be trying to do anything in his power to stay with Sonic (as long as Sonic is willing of course), even if that means never confessing the exact nature of his feelings for the hedgehog, Sonic isn't already thinking about these things. This means that while Tails has very few pathways to confession, Sonic has plenty!...if you scare him well enough.
For example, Idw Sonic has been more clearly spending more time with Tails (even baseline just. Crashing at his place more often) after the metal virus arc. Couple this with post neo metal incident 2 electric boogaloo idw Sonic who just wants to have a break and live peacefully for a minute, this is a Sonic who has become scared enough to want to indulge in spending more time with Tails. I also think that post Sonic Prime Sonic is also a version of him who would start to spend more time with Tails than before after having already lost him and having to deal with the Tails shaped hole in his life once.
So, if you got a Sonic to the point where he'd fully accepted his feelings and he felt like confessing them would be necessary to secure the future he wants, then he'd confess. Honestly, the easiest way I'd see this going about would be a story where Tails is framed as leaving him to go do something or be somewhere else, away for Sonic, possibly indefinitely, or if Sonic actually has to spend enough time without Tails after initially telling himself his own feelings wouldn't matter so long as Tails is happy wherever he is. But, if it came down to confessing being something that might actually bring Sonic to his desired future (especially if Tails rejecting him is no different from prolonging the separation they already have if he says nothing), then I think he could work up the courage to do it.
And in the end...I think it has to be Sonic. Although I on occasion enjoy fantasizing about moments where Tails can't take it anymore and confesses, only for Sonic to realize his own feelings in the process, I think that Sonic would have to be the one who confesses his feelings/wishes for the future for Tails to even believe that his pipe dreams are a possibility. I think it's Sonic who would need to pull Tails out of his head, because the probability that Tails works up the courage to confess is more unlikely.
So...yeah. In my head, Sonic is driven to a point where he confesses and pulls Tails out of his head about it.

Thinking how Monsieur and Madame Thenardier hate themselves so much, that they abuse and neglect their own children especially after the Thenardiers got bankrupt, because their own kids look like a mix of both Monsieur and Madame Thenardier in spades
And that contributes to Eponine's self loathing arc cuz she has a striking resemblance to her biological mother, whom she despised. Sometimes Eponine can't bear to look at her reflection because her self hatred made her believe she was ' ugly '
It wasn't until the Thenardier sibs began to receive kindness from outside the Thenardier circles did they realize that they aren't in fact ugly, and Eponine realizes that she is beautiful in her own way.
Meanwhile Cosette, who believed that her mother was an angel from Heaven for most of her life, and after an intensive healing period, she came to believe herself as ' pretty ' because of how her mother's goodness lived through. Only to later on realize that her mother is actually a flawed, messy but ultimately good person. That is going to be a shock for Cosette at first since she placed her mother at such a high pedestal, but she came to understand and accept her mother even more
Thinking how Eponine thought herself as a ' devil ' due to self hatred. But the truth is she is a deeply flawed but fundamentally good soul who needs healing.
Thinking how, since adoption, nearly everyone around Cosette coddled and overprotected her and viewed her as a pure, innocent angel. But Cosette is also wild and brave at heart. And as much as she is grateful and appreciative of the nuns, Valjean and Marius, I believe a part of her also wants to go about and explore more after the June Rebellion, just as a reconciliation for her soul. There is a foundation of wildness and bravery in her.
Thinking how Eponine literally can't forgive herself for bullying Cosette in the past for a time, only for Cosette to already forgiven Eponine and Azelma and grieved for their misfortunes. I bet Cosette also mourned for Eponine's death, not just out of trauma survivor solidarity, but of the life Eponine could have had if she survived.
Thinking how Eponine built walls as a survival mechanism, only to realize that there is power in softness too
Thinking how Cosette clung onto pacifism and embracing ' ladylike virtues ' as a coping and surviving mechanism, only for her to become much braver as the June Rebellion goes on - not in a warrior's way, but in a more pacifistic activist way, as she came to do charity work and then helps nurse Marius back to health
I think there is also an element of frustration here in Cosette that how everyone else seem to shield her from darker aspects of things in fear of breaking her heart even more. While they do mean well, Cosette would have understood more if the truths are more revealed to her. Valjean and Marius are so scared to push Cosette away if the darker truths are revealed....but Cosette still loves and cares for them anyway and forgives them for such trespasses. She just wished she was told of these things sooner.
These 2 really need healing, and deserve better
#eponine#cosette#les miserables#cosette loves valjean the nuns and marius dearly and STILL can be frustrated at them for hiding so much from her#THOSE 2 ELEMENTS CAN EXIST#and Im sure Marius and Cosette will have a long talk about such after valjean doed#*died#like marius and cosette learn to build a stronger foundation of trust in each other after the whole truth of things is revealed#marius i know you love cosette but you cant hide things from her forever#defend cosette and eponine!

I actually love that Marinette's keeping all these secrets. Like go girl give these unnecessary burdens to yourself, be a morally gray character, be the antagonist to your own story. No one's stopping you, no one's forcing you either (except maybe Gabriel haunting the narrative), this is all on you! You, a 15 year old girl, will just have to deal with the consequences later. Alone. You put this on yourself, no one else did. But anything for Adrien, right?
By the way, even if you did tell the truth, you would have to handle the consequences that shouldn't be punished upon you anyways. The real culprits are dead. Whether you like it or not, you are the punching bag of the narrative.
#ml london special#Can you tell I love angst#If Marinette just told Adrien the truth where's the fun in that ❤️#The agreste arc may be over but it is still looming over Marinette#Forever haunting her#I have like 60% trust on the writers that they will handle the fallout amazingly eventually#*cries*

been seeing too many posts insisting ford should call stan "lee" lately, i'm seconds away from writing the most jarring fic where dipper inexplicably calls mabel "belle" the entire time
#dipper is now called sone or something idk#anyway wishing folks appreciated the symbolism of their nicknames and how it's shaped around their identity as a twin.....#and how ford calling him stanley hits so much harder than anything else possibly could cos its a name he didnt use for 40 years#while constantly using different identities that entire time#and even after the truth is revealed everyone else he knows is just gonna stick to calling him stan#(other than bill and gideon of all people lmaoooo)#stan signing off his letter as 'stanley' still gets to me!!! it's important!!!!#but anyway let's analyse how the kid comic has them use 'stanley' and 'ford'#the teen scenes has them use only 'stan' and 'ford'#while the portal incident has them use 'stanley' and 'stanford'#current era has them just use a mix i'm pretty sure#also there's the whole thing about their dad referring to both of them as stan when they were growing up#that one hellman comic about the mystery twins birth still lives in my brain and defined the way i think about this#.....wait whaddya mean that comic is only 3 years old#anyway don't mind me cackling as tbob has stan call ford 'sixer' more#despite some folks insisting that the nickname is ruined forever#'am i too passionate about this one topic' i ponder despite writing like 7k of fic about this one thing#.....one of said lee posts using my fic summary was. a bit odd. but oh well

Sandy: "Hurting others isn't a measure of one's strength—took me a really long time to realize that. As long as I'm doing something to help out a friend, I don't mind what it is! I just want to be there for 'em when they need me. Because at the end of the day, helping my friends is more important than anything else in the world!"
(2x08 To Catch a Leaf)
-
Macaque: "She's completely out of control! If there's a time to go, it's now." MK: "NO! Mei is my best friend, I'd never abandon her when she needs me! We're heroes, it's what we do!"
(3x10 The Samadhi Fire)
-
Azure Lion: "I thought I arrived in time to contain the curse, but, based off of your expressions I would hazard a guess that Sun Wukong has already been consumed, along with your friends." MK: "But it's fine right!? We'll just pop this bad boy open and get them back!"
Azure Lion: "It's too late to save them, we can't risk unleashing the curse into the world!" MK: "You don't know, we'd risk it for sure! I won't abandon them when they need us."
(4x02 New Adventures)
-
Yellowtusk: "I know full well what will happen should Azure fail, but- but he is my brother. I owe him my life." Sandy: "We get it! I'd do anything to help my friends, but at the cost of the world?" Pigsy: "I'm sorry pal, but NOTHING is worth that price!"
(4x13 Rip and Tear)

Random thoughts about Dead Friend Forever episode 9:
Damn! I was waiting for today to get this new episode and I wasn't disappointed. It was such a ride again.
▪️ First of all, we need to talk about Tan... or should I say New?! Of course, it wasn't exactly a surprise because many people already guessed he was Non's brother, but we just didn't know who he was until now. I guess he looked pretty bland in the first episodes and then when we got to the flashback we didn't see him yet because he wasn't among the group when they bullied Non. Who would have thought, he would lied about his age to get in school, lied to his parents about being in England and basically being the mastermind behind the revenge against the group? I thought Phee would be the mastermind because he wanted to avenge the man he loved, but he was merely a follower. Tan/New is the one who wants revenge and he won't stop until he gets to know the truth. He doesn't mind pretending to be someone else and drugging all of them just to have answers. He is kind of unhinged and it's pretty understandably because he lost everything. I felt so bad for him because he feels guilty about not being a good brother enough to Non, but also not being a good enough son when he decided to lie to his parents to continue his quest in learning the truth. He doesn't know how to cope with the loss and the grieve he feels too (he lost his all family, how can you deal with that?!). It was heartbroken to see him slowly falling into madness because of all those emotions.
▪️ This episode not only centered around Tan/New and his family but also around Phee and his complicated relationship with Jin and Non. We saw that Phee avoided Non after he caught him with cop Keng. It took him a while to cool down before deciding to find Non and discovering his disappearance. That's how he met Tan/New who knew Non and Phee had a thing. They decided to team up to find the truth after reading the script he wrote for the short movie and how different it was from the final production. In this episode, Phee looked more like a follower into Tan/New's quest. He wants to know the truth but he is also torn between this revenge and his growing feelings for Jin. Indeed, he became close to him because he noticed how Jin reacted every time they mentioned Non but it is shown he started to feel something too. Even Tan noticed it and Phee had to brush it off by saying he still loves and misses Non. It must have been hard for him. I don't think caring for Jin meant he didn't care for Non. However, it is sure Tan/New would have not like it. So Phee rejected Jin by saying they were just friends, hurting his feeling. Too bad for Jin, he also learnt at that time about the fake news (because it is fake) about Non and Keng.
▪️ I know Jin did some really bad things to Non. He never really helped him when he was bully by the others and he filmed him (even if he didn't posted online, it was still a bad move). I almost forgot but he also lied about Non, not being with them (stupid move again). The story is not trying to paint him as a saint but at the same time, you can see it is also trying to make us like him. At least, it is working with me. I still feel really bad for Non. Poor Non never deserve anything that happened to him. However, I still want Jin to be able to redeem himself in any way. He had an instant attraction to Phee the first time he saw him (which I understand because Ta Nannakun is very handsome). He felt hard for him. Phee took him to the same lake he went with Non and that's where he told Jin he only bring people he likes over there . Even if at that time they were still "friends" I think it made Jin feel like he had a chance to become boyfriends. It led to their NC scene which was fierce. They were also a little kinky (Jin, I didn't know you weren't only vanilla). Good for them! After that, Phee became distant to Jin and to avoid being hurt they stopped being close until the present time where they went to Por's house.
▪️ In the present time, Phee almost told the truth to Jin. They still have lingering feelings for each other. It seems like it is eating away Phee's mind and Jin still don't understand why they can't be more. I almost choked when he thought Phee had something with Tan. Yeah they are working together to know what your group of a****** friends did to Non, but their relationship is strictly professional, don't worry Jin. That's where Jin started to hallucinate again, still feeling deeply guilty about Non. Phee didn't get to tell him the truth. I can't wait to know how he will react and what impact it is going to have for their relationship. I believe they are supposed to be end-game, but the series surprised me a lot so the dice are not cast, yet.
▪️ Back into the present time where Top drug-induced was beating Tee up until White (long time no see precious baby!) knocked him out. At the same time, Tan is fighting against Fluke who was also drugged. Basically everyone is drugged because it was Tan's plan all along so they would reveal the truth. I laughed when Phee asked Tan/New "This is not deadly, isn't it?" and it answered "This won't kill them". Guess what Por, you're just collateral damage. Opps! Well, he won't be missed. Tan/New probably didn't anticipating his little experience with hallucinating herbs would end up this way. It shows you must really think of everything before taking things into your own hands. The plan is not going into the right direction. It worked too well. They were really scared and thought they were cursed. So, is the killer real or is it just hallucination? If it's the case... does it mean the driver is not really dead? If he is dead, does it mean Tan/New created this trap and killed him? I'm not sure Tan/New thought about really killing anyone... Otherwise how could he get his answer?
The noose is tightening as we approach the end of the series. The next episode won't come out fast enough. I already can't wait to know the rest of the story.

HYPERFIXATED, FANFIC AND MUSIC IS MY WEAKNESSSSS...
Go poke @chil-aglia if you find a song that fits DILLH 🫵 the more emotionally crippling, the better (jkjk)
Lyrics from 'King Of The World' by Young Rising Sons matching with DILLH........ its been stuck in my head for days, and if i have to suffer then you must too.
(Guess what happens when your favourite song and a hyperfixation combine? 😭)
─── ⋅•♦•⋅ ───
Caden: Cold as winter in the dead of July That bitter chill don't just live in my mind And I can see us takin' over the world
I know loss, I've looked pain in the eye I've seen the demons that live in the night But if I was king, if I was king of the world
Leo, to Caden: All the tales that have never been told Build up fires to keep away the cold We'll sing songs that will never get old We'll be here forever
We'll rule the world together, forever With hearts of gold, who needs any treasure? We'll take our time just living our lives Our castle in the sky If I was king of the world
——————
Caden: I was a stranger, held my hands to my eyes Blindly walking on a street full of lies But I found truth buried deep inside of my bones
—————— (After Caden travels to the past)
Teen Leo: Lonely nights shaking villains and thieves So I keep fighting with my heart on my sleeve But if I was king, if I was king of the world
——————
Caden: Then one day the leaves changed And all that was once grey It seemed to just fade away I'm feeling so alive in this castle in the sky
Caden & teen Leo: All the tales that have never been told Build up fires to keep away the cold We'll sing songs that will never get old We'll be here forever

✿ for xiao and yelan, and neuvillette and yelan!
The Chasm.
Though this would take some time to actually take effect, I think that after the events of Perilous Trail, Yelan would 'request' him to accompany her (entirely of her own accord, too) into the Chasm at times, when there's odd activity in it outside of the Fatui, or anything else. And I think that may just be the first time that she properly visits him at Wangshu Inn. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think it's because she's afraid or feels as if her capabilities are lackluster (in general or in comparison to his own)— nothing has changed, the Chasm is still primarily hers, or that's how she sees it in terms of responsibilities at least. But it's that, for the first time in a long time, she recognizes that this may actually be too much for one to digest on their own, the 'bed' of the Chasm is something that apparently neither of them can independently explain, but maybe two minds are able to.
Social.
Continuing on the topic of Wangshu Inn for a second (because Lantern Rite made me feral): I mostly want to point out the heartwarming aspect of it: the familiarity between them, and the ability to poke one another in jest. I don't think that Yelan particularly is like the others who want him to frequent Liyue Harbor more, and interact with people overall— I think she simply does so herself because she's come to enjoy it. Perilous Trail created a sincere, deep respect from her to him, and with someone like her, I think that creates the best foundation for a willing social connection that is constant. But she's also not a 'pushy' social creature, she would go— she would eat, if he joined, she'd engage with him (though conversation may even be minimal), if not, then it's of no matter. But, never would he quite be free of her jests. If he never joined her for instance (which I could see early on) but stayed remotely near her, even if out of sight, it's Yelan, she'd know, so it'd be a simple 'Thank you for the company, Conqueror of Demons,' with a little warm smile that followed.
Sorry Neuvillette,
But once she knows about Navia, you're not free from her playful banter. She may not be Wriothesley, but if she gives you tips on how to 'deal' with him (shh, Min, don't read this), then rest assured that she may take his place in some way, at least until his stomach has recovered. And she may not be as open and obvious with it, but there'd definitely be some sort of repercussions. Perhaps a little comment made when in company of both, followed by a little 'Hm, was I not supposed to...' (don't worry, nothing big, and nothing early on, it's just— you know). I think that sadly for Neuvillette, Wriothesley may be a bit proud of her. Granted, if it makes you feel better, I think the main victim would actually be Miss Navia.
Prior meeting.
This may just be a little silly thought on my end, but I think it's likely for them to have crossed paths before. Perhaps when Yelan was there in a bit of a less professional capacity, or even when she was there in a professional capacity, but she would have borne another name, and another appearance. Would he remember her? Or have an inkling? I like to think of that possibility sometimes, and that she sits there and remembers him from possibly numerous years prior, and he would've had a slightly younger Yelan in front of him— perhaps even before the loss of her team. So a lot about her would be different, even if 'personas' have always been her expertise. But she'd actively remember him, and occasionally bear a smile that'd be proof of it.
Prompt: Trade you 2 HCs for a ✿ // @apocryphis // Selectively still accepting
#[ yelan. ] i can't change the facts. but if it's a choice between the cold; hard truth and blissful unawareness: i'll take the former.#[ yelan: meta. ] the chances are if i open this door; there can be no witnesses left alive. is that a sufficient reason for you?#apocryphis#[ aaaaaAA thank you ventium!! ]#[ i love both of these dynamics 😭 ]#[ but also i've been sitting on the 'they met prior to now' one since forever. it's nothing /big/ but it's been one i held dear. ]#[ because i like to think about how her perspective may have been different-- and would have seen him maybe once or twice prior (?) ]#[ but see the slow change in him still to some degree. ]#[ i just find it endearing. maybe she'd one day spill the beans if you liked the idea. ]
