Was looking for “I, Strahd” at the secondhand bookstore but I found P. N. Elrod’s fix-it fic instead

you may not like it but this is what aura looks like

[mummer]

thinking about this

[calware]

the fact that hal (AR) telling jake that he's naming himself lil hal (as a joke) was most likely a dig at how HAL 9000 has been commonly misconstrued within pop culture for decades as some kind of malevolent psychopathic murderer who killed those guys for funsies (not true btw), and AR is poking fun at how his friends see him in a similarly unfair light. and then readers saw this scene and went "oh my god, he named himself hal, he's going to be a malevolent psychopathic murderer"

First off, love this AU so much (honestly it's just nice seeing shadowpeach be happy) thank you.

Secondly, has MK ever met and/or interacted with the rest of the brotherhood, and if so, what are his thoughts?

He’s definitely met them before, they are part of his dad’s court.

As for their relationship, I think I’m just gonna leave that to when I get to those points of the story in the comic, but I’ll give a brief summary

DBK: Loves that guy, would say one of his favorite uncles but like too many people would jump DBK to win the title. Has always been part of his life so he is very close with the guy. DBK would sometimes take Red Son and MK fishing when they have time, happens more often once MK starts living more in the mortal realm. They’re like this🤞trust

Yellow Tusk: MK has had him as a teacher for various different topics growing up, he loves that no matter what he asks Yellow Tusk always answers with the most sincerest voice and even gives logical answers to his questions even if they are supposed to be silly. Loves the guy would recommend as a teacher 10/10👍

Peng: Bird Man, bit him once did not taste like chicken😔 0/5 stars on yelp,,, he has a deep distrust with the guy because of the way he has seen him disrespect Macaque, though he learned what silent revenge was from his Mom that day, when Peng walked into the court room a few hours later with half his feathers burned to a crisp, and his mom was trying hard not to laugh and had a smug smile. Mom=1, Bird Man=0

Azure: this is one is complicated, and this is coming from me as the writer, I’m still not set with how I will write Azure in the Au, whether that is just as a side character or and antagonist of kinds. Definitely won’t be the main antagonist but I do like how his character is complex in canon, so I’m heavy debating rn. But for now assume MK’s view of him is complicated, he just can’t put his finger on it.

Anyways that’s all I can say for now😌✌️

DANCE WITH ME YOU LI-IA-IAR ♡

OVERBLOT ASHI??? ANYBODY??? the ANGST that this baby can store!!! SHEESH!!!!!!! <3 I only have one post dedicated to her and liar dance lyric analysis (the post is kinda outdated in gen) BUT…… I also have an overblot monologue as a treat 🫶 I wanted to better explain her angst and so!!! BABAM!!! enjoy

ASHI’S MONOLOGUE:

Sometimes I wonder why I ended up here.

A place named “Twisted Wonderland”, and at a school named “Night Raven College”.

At first, I figured that I was the odd one out— Y’know, the Ramshackle prefect and everything. The magicless girl at the magical all boys school? Nuts, ain’t it?

I’m known for a lot of things. Things that are different from the others. The fact that I stand out is part of the Ashi charm, something I’m known for.

But… Over time I found myself sorta feeling in place here.

Because as much as I try to believe it, I can’t safely say that I’m better than anyone else here.

I’m a fake. I make conversation and lots of friends, but for what? A backup in case something goes wrong? A sense of protection for my reputation? In what case are any of those friendships something I truly want? In what case are any of these strings more than just a tool instead of a thread made of my real feelings?

Behind this, I’m no different from any other student here. Even through my individuality, my cheerfulness, my endearing oddness… I’m still a horrible person. Using people to get what I want, toying with people and their feelings in order to gain power and gain a spot the top. All to become untouchable. It’s screwed. It’s not right.

My insides are ugly. The truth of me is something I want to keep tucked away deeply, because I don’t want people to see this part of me. A brash, annoying, selfish version of me, everything people hate to see. I don’t want this side of me to be seen because people will run away— people I don’t care much about, sures, but people I love, too. I don’t want to drive them away. So I keep quiet and give them a shallow show.

I give them a source of entertainment that’s controlled by the real me, every calculated movement translating into a marionette-like response. The only show I allow you to see is one that’s so carefully crafted by the chaotic clown backstage. The one that is shunned away from the light, the strings being the only hint of the puppet’s phony existence to the foolish audience.

But suddenly, I feel as if being here has started to let this side of me come crawling back into the spotlight.

It scares me.

It scares me to be vulnerable, let all of my faults lay out on the table like playing cards. To take the risk without the protection, to gamble everything I’ve built up away just like that. But you…

You.

You make me feel safe. You make me feel as if I don’t need to hide anything. I can give you the key to my heart and you would have no malicious intent. You wouldn’t cut out the parts people don’t like. You would enjoy the performance in full, every bit of it.

You make me believe that I’m nothing special, and yet something so valuable at the same time.

It’s silly. You’re silly. And yet that’s something that’s helped me.

It’s helped me realize that that truly is just how people are.

We aren’t villains. We aren’t antagonists. We aren’t monsters.

We are nothing but people, with faults and feelings that should be valued.

I am more than just a jester, a sake of entertainment.

I’m a person who is entirely worthy of love. All of me.

It reminds me that I must’ve came here for a reason.

Because this is where I belong.

I used to despise Eridan and think he was the absolute worst character (barring Cronus ig) but you have shown me the light and completely turned my opinion around and now I think he is such an endearing little freak <3 I read your whole blog already but if you've got any more thoughts on eri or anyone else then I hope you post them bc I'd love to hear more abt it!

i have sooo many controversial opinions about the dancestors you have noooooo idea

[evecallum]

Been trying to find a way to explain this without pissing everyone off but I literally was enraged by Ethari this last season. I already had my misgivings about his character (and this isn’t to say he’s a bad character!) what with basically leaving Rayla to fend for herself but then upon hearing Rayla’s classic low self-worth diatribe he incredulously cuts her off like shes not like this partially because of his own actions.

I know logically Ethari’s thoughts were clouded by his grief but theres something kind of really off-putting about him trying to brush off Rayla’s concerns seconds after he’s reunited with Runaan. “Not another word Rayla etc etc”

If I wanted to look too deep into it maybe I could rationalize it and say he was nervous about Runaan realizing he had basically turned his back on Rayla but it honestly made him look fake and disingenuous. Its only further compounded by Rayla side-eyeing him, like shes clearly bitter about it still despite her acting like everything’s hunky dory, but maybe I’m just projecting a bit too hard about all of this….Thoughts???

there's a codex entry in the lighthouse that you can find in the second locked room in the central room. it's a series of notes written by solas to study his ritual and it confirms he lured the inquisitor in the crossroads in trespasser not to save their life (not just for that anyway) but also to retrieve the anchor and study it for his ritual. the writers did EVERYTHING to make him look like a villain, i'm so mad and sad

YES, I saw that, and I was so mad, too! I don't remember the devs ever saying that Solas managed to retrieve what remained of the Anchor in Trespasser - they just said the Inquisitor's arm was so damaged, Solas had to "collapse the Fade energy that had started to poison [the Inquisitor's] arm".

He reveals his whole plans to the Inquisitor, but never mentions needing the Anchor's remaining energy to do so. He has no qualms explaining what he intends to do - why shouldn't he also say he needs the Anchor to complete his preparations? It's not like the Inquisitor can stop him at that moment.

He actually says he lured the Inquisitor in that place to save their life (or to avoid more chaos in the South due to their death if they're not friends/in a romance iirc). So it's clear this was something they added in just for Veilguard, never once hinted in Trespasser, turning Solas' heartfelt words into a half-truth ("Luring you here was the best chance to save your life... at least for now. But also I need to use you again :) "

Furthermore, if he could take back the Anchor and its power, why did he wait until it was "damaged beyond repair", like that codex entry in the Lighthouse says? Why not take it back immediately and proceed with his plans? Did he need Mythal's power to do so? Why wait two more years until the events of Trespasser, then?

It makes no sense, and it once again paints Solas under a villainous light, even with a romanced Lavellan - he didn't lure her in the Crossroads just to save her life, he also needed her (again) to fulfill his duty and save the Elvhen people... but not really, because what really drives him is not the wonderful connection to the Fade the elves lost and that he wishes to recover, but Mythal! Isn't he a scoundrel! How could you love such a man!

it’s crazy to me that people pretend that there was no clear difference between snow at the beginning at tbosas v. the end. this is not the same boy who doomed sejanus by sending that jabberjay to the capitol. there was a clear moral decline throughout the book!
