and if i said suguru’s relationship with weakness (’the preciousness of the weak, the ugliness of the weak’) was born out of his feelings towards his mother …

Thinking about visual symbolism where Tomura gets OFA and the embers/fire visual that is usually shown with the users, which is usually something comforting or warm, instead with Tomura it's shown as a sort of wildfire. It's the culmination of the vestiges powers and strong will's becoming one with a 10th user added to it, but Tomura's strong will too. A villain holding this powerful quirk would be expected to use it for evil but he stands opposing his mentor, the man who manipulated his entire life, and it blazes in his soul with his rising hatred against him

A strong fire that is neither comforting or warm like a typical hero reassuring the masses, but an almost violent wildfire directed at evil

Alpha is very aware of who he is. What he is. Is aware violence and greed runs in his veins, No matter how much he feels, how much he cares - not that he would admit to that out loud, but that's beside the point - he will always be, at his core, danger in a too charming form, a piece of hellfire brought to life.

And it's not like he makes a big mystery out of that. It's pratically written on his face, really.

So why, why is Ifrit so willingly subbmitting to him ?

Not only in a sexual way, either. That, Alpha could understand. But, no, Ifrit takes his easy surrender out of the bedroom with an ease that leaves Alpha puzzled.

Like right now, for exemple. Alpha's had a long day - he is not grumpy, thank you very much, simply tired - so seeing the younger fire ghoul already lounging on the couch he so longingly wishes to sink into does not sit right with him.

"Move," he barks, expecting grumbling and curses. But, no. Ifrit simply blinks lazily, straightens just enough to let Alpha sit, then flops back down, now half on the older fire ghoul's lap. Head thrown back, throat and vulnerable belly exposed, all weak points open.

Alpha could lash out, sink his claws into soft flesh, spill infernal blood all over the worn couch. Not that he would, or wants to ; but he could. And Ifrit, despite knowing this, doesn't seem affected at all. Letting Alpha absent-mindedly run his thumb down the column of his throat, even with the slight scratch of claws being a stark reminder of what could happen.

Then, as Alpha's eyes start to flutter shut, Ifrit shifts, pushing his head against the older ghoul's hand with a demanding whine, like a petulant, oversized cat, until Alpha gets the message and let his fingers run through shaggy black hair.

Ifrit trusts him.

Alpha can't fathom why.

Still, Ifrit's warm against him, purring soothingly, his hair so soft to the touch...Yeah, Alpha could get behind this.

Guys I feel like I am trying to put together a puzzle out of pieces from one million different puzzles where no one full puzzle is present. I was looking at This Foul Murder today and I came across the part where Marshall describes Benedikt's eyes as being "brown-grey" and "ambiguous dark". I was already familiar with this because I am a frequent peruser of Benedikt's fandom wiki page. But I always just assumed it was mistaken on the wiki page, because I was 10000% sure I had read in the books somewhere else that his eyes are light colored/blue.

I absolutely SCOURED TVD for any mention of Benedikt to try to find an answer and I came up with nothing. Did I imagine this?? Have I created an alternate timeline where Benedikt underwent a change of eye color akin to Thalia Grace of the Riordanverse??

Relationships where one party has been put on a pedestal are not healthy. Relationships where A only likes B because B is what A wishes they could be are not healthy. I don't just not ship it, I am staunchly opposed to the canon version of NaruHina because it wants you to forget the only reason it exists is because Hinata never really healed.

It's not unrealistic for Hinata to become obsessed with Naruto. Even him being her whole motivation is not in itself "bad writing". That shit happens. Abused and hopeless kids do that. The problem is that she never realizes that was not healthy or ok. The problem is that this is portrayed as sweet and romantic even while her obsession escalates to stalking. That isn't cute, that's concerning.

They don't have to not end up together. It would be fucking fantastic if she reached her goals and fell out of love after realizing how childish and unhealthy her "crush" was, and then she could fall in love with him all over again for real this time. To fall in love with the real Naruto and not the white knight version of him that lived in her head for fifteen years. But we didn't get that.

Fuck Naruto: The Last. Fuck making Hinata the princess in the tower. Fuck this stupid incorrect scarf analogy. Fuck the bubbles. Fuck bombarding someone with every single positive memory they've ever had of a person at once just to shoehorn them into love with someone.

If you have to use magic to get two people together because you can't think of even one singular way for them to naturally fall in love, DON'T.

I'm glad to see you back! I have a question, if I may ask. What inspired you to make (Ancient) Saiyan Culture? And would you say Maiz is a good example of it?

Subject Matter: Lore & world building // sender: anonymous // status--always open!

{{ This is so freaking old, like MONTHS old, dear stars above. I don't know who you are but whoever sent this, I hope you're still around! 😭 My bad--

Anyhoo!! Yes, you may! And thank you for your question(s)! What inspired me to create ASC/Ancient Saiyan Culture is a long story (one that I've shared I think about twice on here?) but the short of is this: I wanted to explore why Maiz (before I completely revised her for RP purposes, she was basically a fanfic/lore study OC for Saiyan lore) was the way she was. To do that, I strived to make an antihero character with some sympathetic undertones. Which meant that I had to explain her culture, the way she thinks, why she had troubles with Turles (the version I wrote), how Paragus was important to her as a makeshift father figure despite her initially disliking/hating him for personal reasons (PLEASE someone ask me about this, it was so sweet and heartbreaking. Can you tell I love the Saiyans so MUCH AUGH--) what foods she was used to, what made up her nightmares, fears, hopes, etc.

In a way, I started cooking up Saiyan Culture around her and then around the other Saiyan characters I was writing. Somehow though, I ended up with a vast world that eclipsed them.

And well, my best friend brought me to RP and the only character I thought about constantly was Maiz, so I broke her down and did my creative thing according to the needs of the RPC (basically I stalked/lurked on a lot of the accounts that I interact with these days--the same ones that I'm proudly mutuals with 💙). I noticed there was a lack of female Saiyans and a lack of particularly vicious Saiyans in general too, so Maiz ended up becoming this really cool and complex villainous/antagonistic/aggressive character who has little to no redeeming traits, funnily enough--though "redeeming qualities" depends on who you ask, I guess. (She's actually a good mom and an interesting romantic partner to have ) In the end, she ended up being a hit with everyone that's seen/read her stuff/interacted with her.

But speaking of her and the culture that surrounds her, you know what? Ironically enough, she is a decent example but at the same time, not the best even if she's an expert on it. (And yes, the hypocrisy is intentional on my end. Sometimes Maiz comes close to realizing it, and other times it goes over her head. She does deny things to rationalize her actions occasionally. Make of that what you will).

Ahem.

Ancient Saiyan Culture, at its core is all about community and teamwork--albeit taken to dark extremes due to Saiyan tribalism.* (And no, not all of it is dark, I digress).

(We see aspects of this in the franchise all throughout, sadly only in flashbacks or filler or whatever, but that's neither here or there. Again, I digress).* Individuality is celebrated but it wasn't emphasized because it didn't NEED to be, pre-Cold Family. Maiz excels at being an individual, but her main problem is that she denies personhood and understanding to other Races. Unless she likes them, or likes an individual from that Race. And even then, she's liable to treat them as a "token" until she gets better. (She does with long term exposure, but she'll still be Permanently Weird because she is a Stubborn Alien Lady™ with a Petty Streak).

The plot twist is: this line of thought + behaviors would be considered the Saiyan equivalent of 'sympathy'. Because the way she was taught was to spare nobody. Not even a child. But Maiz post-Genocide will spare people--but only if they are a nuisance that she thinks lowly of ( it's kinda how her and Jay's Future Trunks got started; the slowest burn in the universe / @burnxngslash), someone that she thinks is interesting or could be useful to her long term (the majority of her slaves and how she got her kingdoms/twelve planets), or because they amuse her in some way that she can't exactly put her finger on so it forces her to think further on if she really wanna kill them or not. Spoiler alert: She Does Not and Reasons May Vary (basically her and Thane's Future Trunks' dynamic right now / @hopefromadoomedtimeline. Listen they're complicated okay but they're working it out. Just know that she is Not Normal™ about him. He Makes Her Heart Nervous and She Doesn't Like It).

Point is: there are some aspects of the culture that Maiz doesn't exactly live up to, but it's her choice. Other times, it's because it's too painful (what community can you have when the only survivors of your Race are half breeds and some spread out males that are so far removed from the culture that it feels like you might as well be the only true survivor left?), or because it's something she doesn't agree with: killing off the weaker partner after reproduction for example.

Fun fact: For a very long time, Maiz dreaded the idea of being in an intimate relationship because she was afraid that a potential mate would see her blind eye as a defect and kill her off after having a baby with her. Weakness of any kind was ingrained in her at birth to be an unsavory thing, which partially fueled her viciousness as a childling. She wanted to live to adulthood. (She doesn't know that this is the main reason why she denies herself romantic and sexual feelings as an adult. All of this got repressed and forgotten about, post Genocide).

Also--this may come as a shock to you all--but Maiz, for all her high self esteem, doesn't actually see herself as super attractive. It's because back on Planet Vegeta, the beauty standards revolve around health, intelligence and physical ability. Her eye is more than enough to dock off several 'social'/beauty points even if her strength more than makes up for it. That, and even though she's a taller and more muscular version of her mother, she was indirectly taught that there are more 'beautiful' people out there. You'd never know this though because of how arrogant/rude/cruel/mean, etc she is and how she carries herself. (She forgets she's her mom spitting image too).

She also isn't deprecating about it (nor does she think about it so it wouldn't even make sense for me write it out unless I'm in a scene where that's the topic). Like, she's not UGLY, but she's not mid either? She sees herself as in between these two things.

I wanted to write more but you know, avoiding the whole "making her too sympathetic" thing is still going strong over here. Hopefully this paints a clear enough picture for you! Thanks again for the question anon!
