ally playing Russell as a cishet man is truly the most shocking thing they could have done with his character

edit: I take it back i rewatched it and AP and I think what Brennan meant was Matilda looked like a female version of noah who Russell is in love with

Y´know-

I´ve been thinking today.

MC´s got these dope nicknames for the sisters, right?

At some point, she´s probs gonna let one of them slip, totally lost in thought and just going with how she´s been calling them in her head. It´s an automatic response.

...

Cue three very confused sisters.

Naturally, it sparks a(n awkward) convo where MC reveals that, yeah-

MC: *points to Tanya*

MC: "She-Devil."

Tanya, smug af: 😈(❤️‍🔥)

MC: *points to Irina*

MC: "Dreadful Red"

Irina, sorry af: 😖 (she´s at a stage where she actually likes MC and feels horrible for scaring the crap out of her when they´d only just met...and all the weeks/months that followed)

...

Kate: 🤨 "...What about me??"

Tanya & Irina, curious as well: 👀

MC: "..."

Kate: 😏 "I bet it´s something spicy, huh?"

MC: "..."

Kate: 💪😌 "Or maybe something that captures all that muscle?"

MC: "..."

Kate: 😁"No wait! Maybe something with fangs?? Something dangerous, y´know?"

MC: "..."

Kate, getting impatient: "...Well??"

Tanya & Irina: 👀

MC: *coughs to buy herself some time cause fck that´s gonna be awkward as hell*

Tanya & Irina & Kate: 👀

MC: "...Furred Boots."

Tanya & Irina & Kate: "..."

MC: "..."

Kate: "...You´re shitting me, right?"

MC: "..."

Kate: *throws her sisters a disbelieving look*

Tanya & Irina:

KATE MY POOR BABY AM SORRY (am not). 😭

absolutely don’t imagine one of the boys taking their chain harnesses off, placing it on you and using it to pull you in for a kiss 😵‍💫

It’s actually really good that I’m not good at taking pictures of myself/I don’t show up well in pictures bc if I did that would genuinely be all I’d post

One thing about Dresden is that pedestrians will stop at a red light. In Leipzig you se a red light and you go 'fuck if I care, there's no cars coming' and cross the road. I have seen large groups of people crossing at a red light at the main train station. But not in Dresden. Here they all wait nicely.

Every time a new Bloodborne comic comes out and the Nameless Hunter is nowhere to be seen, I am not at all surprised but eternally disappointed.

I know everything's about to go horribly wrong - again - but I have to ask. After all their conversations in the dark, did the Darkling ever plan to let Kaz sleep in a different bed again, even after they got back? Or has he filed it under 'this is an intimacy I really like therefore will continue having regardless what Kaz wants' like on one hand I suspect the Darkling will value his own bedroom/comfort/privacy more, on the other I think there's a part of his brain that reallllllyyyy likes having him this close and intimate - like a real couple almost! - and thinks he can just keep that forever regardless of the whole enslavement-plan thing. Oops Kaz you don't get your own room ever again sorry. At least I got you some nice sea whip bracelets to make up for it?

Complicated question with a complicated answer, as most are with these two. The short answer is "the Darkling will never force Kaz into intimacy against his will because it is something he needs organically" but the long answer is....

....? yes ??? god, he's such a fucking trainwreck of a lover coasting by on "well TECHNICALLY" to continue being correct in his own mind no matter the circumstances.

Honestly, even in their current arrangements if Kaz one day was like "I don't want this anymore, I want to sleep in a bunk in a room with everyone else" or "i would rather sleep alone by myself on a life raft in the ocean" the Darkling would say "okay" and grumpily respect that. He's not forcing Kaz into their current arrangements, even if Kaz feels like he doesn't really have a choice.

The Darkling will continue making Kaz feel as though he doesn't have a choice with the knowledge that he's not doing anything wrong because Kaz does have a choice, the alternatives are just kind of worse or inconvenient or would make him look bad.

I feel like at this point it's not too much of a secret to say that things will not continue along their current trajectory because they just simply can't, no one would survive it and it would be a stagnant painful story to keep reading. but let's assume for a minute the status quo does not change in the next few chapters, Kaz has the sea whip, they go back to Os Alta.

The Darkling would work under the assumption that of course they would still be sharing a room, all of Kaz's things would be moved to the Darkling's wing of the little palace and they would continue on as though they were still a power couple in an established relationship. It would be up to Kaz to advocate for himself and say no, actually, I want to go back to my separate room.

Kaz would do that, because he's struggling but he's not struggling that hard. The Darkling will be very grumpy about it, but there's not a world where he doesn't let Kaz make that choice. He's also like...stupidly confident that Kaz will seek him out eventually and them regaining that level of intimacy is an inevitability.

Kaz, spending every single night alone unable to sleep with his own thoughts, might find that he misses having the Darkling as a conversation buddy more than he wants to admit. He might find himself wandering there more often than not. The Darkling might be willing to offer help to aid Kaz with his insomnia, but obviously that would be easier were they still sharing a room, would it not?

Kaz's will might hold out, it might not, he might say 'I'm just going this one time' so many times he doesn't realize they're unofficially sharing a room again anyway, or he might continue being uncomfortable and bored and sleepless just to continue being able to say he's made his own choice.

They have forever to figure out the ideal sleeping arrangements, after all.

(of course OUTSIDE of the current trajectory, things are different altogether. the darkling would probably say it all depends on kaz, and what he chooses and doesn't choose to do, and how much he can be trusted. is it smart for kaz to be left alone? is it safe? is he a danger to himself or others? obviously he can make his own decisions and he doesn't have to share a bed with me if he doesn't want to, but he can't be left unguarded otherwise and maybe a prison cell would be a better alternative? anyway kaz it's up to you, the way in which you want to live with the consequences of your own actions)

I know we all make mistakes, but there's actually a large difference between snapping at your loved ones when you're having a bad day and saying the most abusive, fucked up, gaslighting shit to your kids and then forget about it like it's a normal saturday night, and i honestly don't think it's a mistake that a person can "casually" make?

you can't pretend all faults are on the same level in terms of its difficulty to commit and its severity, as if you can tell a dictator "it's okay we all make mistakes :) it's very easy to call for the death of a million people and actually going through with it!" like yes, we can all try to be a better person and everyone deserves a chance to redemption, but acting like all wrongdoings are of the same level and telling people who were abused by their parents that they will make the same mistake as their parents?? it happens on some abused people, yes, but this take seriously lacks nuance and compassion like a piece of white bread lacks spice

parents are so crazy because they can say the most fucked up shit to you when your brain is forming and it sets the tone for your whole adult mind set and then they forget about it the next day
