#this man's a fucking disaster.

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

so how about that update, huh

[shivasdarknight]

I've got two snippets I present before ye. The first is on my Dreamwidth, as it's a bit lengthy. It's a snippet from the Ysayle-focused fic/eventual Zadnor fic set during 5.3-5.4. It's the first time she and Estinien speak since HVW, so that's fun :3c

The second is here, which is a section I'm editing rn and really like it (it's sexuality talk and Estinien not really having the language to express the fact that he's a demi-bisexual).

But before she could get a word in to let the question die, he surprised her — silver bangs masking most of his expression.  “Most people don’t interest me, really,” he muttered, lips pulled into a thin line.  “Not as if I haven’t tried; I’ve tried as recently as Kugane, if you’ll believe it.  Nothing...clicks.  No one clicks, nothing feels right.” Surkukteni’s brow furrowed at that.  “As in...romantic interest?” To that, he shook his head.  “Sexual, mostly.  Physical attraction.”  That huff of a laugh of his escaped him, a hand moving to cover the lower half of his face.  From what she could see in the gaps of his snowy hair, his eyes were unfocused — lost in the firelight, or maybe somewhere far beyond Othard.  “I don’t at all understand how you do it, because I am well aware of your flings from what I overheard during our…previous travels, and something Lucia and Hilda both alluded to but never went into detail about.” …Thank the Twelve for that.  “I don’t understand the appeal of it, what you get out of it, how you and others I’ve known keep going back to it — it well escapes me.  …Yet for myself, it only crops up at the worst times, as I’m afraid that I am cursed to fall for those closest to me — and all it’s done is cause me grief.” “And that makes you think you’re cursed?”  That notion troubled her greatly.

IM WHEEZING AT THIS

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

the best thing about lucanis living in the pantry is that everyone else in the game reacts to it exactly like anyone would react to that. basically all of them have a moment where they cautiously approach him and go '...hey you know we have plenty of other rooms right? are you sure you're okay in here?' and he's just like 'yeah.' ...and they do not ask him again b/c I mean clearly he's not okay in here but who's going to be the one to break the news to him

Flash flood destroyed my house

I hate asking for donations, and i hate giving away my personal info online, but I don't have another option.

Hurricane Helene caused a flashflood that hit my house while I was all alone, and my dad had to fight water to get into it with me and help rescue our animals. Unfortunately once he got in, the water kept rising and we were totally trapped for five full hours.

Thankfully, my dad took a lot of wild videos of flooding and one has gone viral which is giving our name a lot of support towards our fundraising. I want to ask if anyone here can please help us by donating anything and/or sharing the link.

there are more videos and updates on my insta: hikkikoumori

Pictures + my dads video under the cut:

Note: before anyone says anything I keep seeing on facebook - we were NOT evacuated. this all happened in the span of less than an hour and i was asleep. the attic was an absolute last resort for if the water got too high to stand in.

my instagram has a couple videos taken during the flood + a walkthrough of our house now. In the video you will notice many things look untouched, but it is the structure that is most concerning because this is the second flood it has survived, the first being in 1998.

donations will go towards renovations to get it livable again.

also, these are just random pictures, the video captures a more intense moment these are from when things were slowing down

i love eddie diaz with all my heart, but it's the kind of love you have for a wet cat who's trying desperately to pretend that they Did That On Purpose, and that's why i simply cannot get on board with the idea that he is in any way smooth

Thinking about the sniper duo

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

stan: how can you be polyamorous and aroace, or…whatever mabel called it?

ford: in my case, i have my family and i have my platonic polycule. i would prefer to never have to interact with anyone outside these two groups

stan: what about soos and wendy? they’re not in either of those groups

ford: first of all, i am soos’ uncle, second of all, are you saying you don’t believe i would both die and kill for wendy?

stan: you’ve got a weird way of defining family, six

ford: it’s my favorite way

I desperately await the reveal of Mafia AU Balam...So while we wait, here's my take on him physically, and my bestfriendwife's take on his role. That being an ex-gangster who's trying to repair and clean up the slums, but everyone is still scared of regardless. In our au he gets dragged back into the gang shit when Kalego, and old associate and friend, calls him back in to babysit/bodyguard for the newest of the Don's kidnapped grandkids

the LD Rangers team is the nightmare blunt rotation. argent is intentionally trying to freak herald out because its funny. herald keeps floating higher and higher because he can't help it. steel's paranoia is through the fucking roof. ortega is the ONLY one having a good time. don't even get me started on sidestep

Avatar Love talk 1: Who is the messier Avatar?

Kyoshi, looking at Korra's love life: ......... Korra: ........Kyoshi don't say it. Kyoshi: And here I thought I was messy. Korra: Kyoshi no! Wait, you messy? Aren't you a clean freak- Kyoshi, ignoring her: Really? You pulled your whole squad? You caused a whole situation? You really broke up a couple, twice. And made them both fall for you? Korra: I was 17 and never interacted with people my own age! Give me a break! Kyoshi: I lived on the streets and the only people who interacted with me my age just hit me in the head with rocks. Korra: ...............................I'm sorry. Kyoshi: No, no. It's fine. The reason I'm shocked is....I don't know who is messier. Korra: Come again? Kyoshi: Like is it you? Me? Or Kuruk? I need to know which one of us is the worst, it's keeping me up at night. Korra: ????!!!!!!!!!!! Really?! I...I wasn't expecting this development. Kyoshi: Oh yeah. Yours is a doozy. Kuruk? Man, I cannot even fathom a number to put to the amount of women he was with. Kuruk: I heard my name and came, but I'm thinking I should leave. Kyoshi, grabbing Kuruk: Oh no buddy boi, you still owe me for that damn poem. Korra: Wait, if Kuruk's a manwhore, and I had my squad wrapped around my finger.... What did you do? I thought you've only dated Rangi? Kyoshi: I had a crush on the false Avatar Yun at one point. Korra: Oh that's not- Kyoshi: He stabbed my girlfriend in the back. Korra: .............................. Kyoshi: Oh, and I had this guy feeding me a poem so people would think I was crushing on Rangi-which I was but that's besides the point. Kuruk: Sorry about that again- Korra: Wait that doesn't seem so bad! Kyoshi: The poem he fed me was originally about Hei-Ran. Korra: ...............................Another woman? Well I mean that's a bit-it's not that bad right? Kyoshi: Hei-Ran is Rangi's mother. Korra: Oh.....oh no- Kyoshi: And they look almost like twins. Korra: Oh....Oh dear Raava. Kuruk what did you do? Kuruk: In my defense, the only people who know that poem is about Hei-Ran and not Rangi is.....Me, Kelsang, Kyoshi, and now you! Korra: Holy shit that.....it's still a special kind of messed up. But hey as long as no one else knows- Kyoshi: Korra, sweetie, I have sooooo many mommy issues. And this bastard over here dropped a nuke right on top of it. Korra: ...holy shit Kyoshi: Now I'm not saying I am the messiest, but I'm def in the top 3. I'm still reeling.
