#want him to be the focal point

[abjectimpulse]

don't have the motivation to finish anything recently so you get sketches. today's theme is shibari.

The assumptions people are making on Veilguard bc ALL decisions won’t carry over are insane to me “OH so morrigan won’t mention her ONLY SON!! or her roMANCE??”. We have no idea what context or capacity she’s going to be in the game? In skyhold, she stayed at skyhold for a while, so it made sense to chat her up and ask about her life. Also Kieran was THERE bc he was TEN. Kieran is now in his twenties and most likely living his own life. If we’re saving the world and fighting darkspawn WHY would her grown ass son come up? Esp when she doesn’t even know Rook?? Like i would understand if we had veilguard in our hands and people were complaining bc Morrigan actually had dialogue invalidating their canon but for fuck’s sake the game isn’t even out yet. They’re saying it doesn’t matter as in it’s not gonna come up bc Rook is busy doing other shit, rather than quizzing characters who aren’t companions on their lives. “What about Varric”. Varric seems to have a pre-established relationship with Rook which means you can headcanon that they already had the talk about Varric’s life story considering he called them his “second in command”. Like cancel your preorders, preorder, do whatever you want no one on the internet is the boss of you. But oh my fucking god complaining about something you don’t even fully know about is already getting so old. Best case scenario, you’re right and i guess your bitching is validated yay for you ig. Worst case, you’re wrong and like wasted so much time and energy bitching for nothing. Like I completely understand being upset the choices don’t carry over, it IS disappointing! But we don’t even KNOW what it’s going to affect if anything at all. It’s just so funny how everyone was like “it’s not about the Inquisitor” and now that the focus is confirmed to be pretty much entirely on Rook and the inquistor’s choices barely seem to matter in game and half of everybody has lost the plot bc of it and we don’t even actually know how this will affect the game like ????

Kyoshi: Listen Aang, we have a lot in common. Aang: Kyoshi please, I'm afraid of this comparison. Kyoshi: We're both of Air Nomad descent. Aang: I don't believe you! Kyoshi: Deal with it cuz! Anyway, we're both also estranged from our parents. Aang: Fine, guess we're doing this. Kyoshi: We were both mentored/surrogate-ly raised by a male monk who knew our previous incarnation. Aang: That's kinda cool. Kyoshi: We both had to rush learning the elements in less than a year, and had to just wing it when it came to Avataring. Aang: Go on. Kyoshi: Our firebending master/companion is a descendent of our previous Avatar's firebending companion. Aang: Oh neat! *remembers it's Sozin*....kinda..... Kyoshi: We've both had to deal with our previous Avatar's companion going evil and harming us, the current Avatar. Kuruk: Kyoshi we've talked about this- Kyoshi: How could you not see he was evil, Kuruk?! Kuruk: Kyoshi he hadn't turned evil yet! Kyoshi: HE KILLED MY FATHER! Kuruk: I know and I'm sorry! Kyoshi, back to Aang: We've both had to deal with the world being an absolute fuck fest because of our previous incarnations actions! Kuruk: Hey! That's not my fault, I had to clean up Yangchen's mess. Yangchen: Gimme a break, I had to deal with the same bs because of Szeto! Kyoshi: I fucking hate Szeto. Kuruk: I know Kyoshi, we all do. Yangchen: Glad he's in the ground. Aang: I don't hate Szeto. Kyoshi: Aang, not so fast. Szeto's probs the reason the Fire Nation is like that to begin with. He probs gave Sozin all those crazy ideas. Aang: ..... D: Aang: ....I think I might hate Szeto.

Can there be an oshamir fic/au in the vein of Gina Kim's Never Forever (2007), in which a young, dutiful, and empathic wife Osha wants to have to get pregnant to make her depressed husband happy after a tragedy shakes his world. There's only one problem...her husband is infertile. So one day at the fertility clinic, she spotted a handsome stranger Qimir desperately trying to become a donor for much needed cash but can't do it because of his criminal past. So for next days, Osha stalks the man in his life in the city as he is working manual labor job after job. Until she gets enough courage to confront man and propose a business opportunity that would benefit them both? She could pay him for his 'donations' and pay him a bonus if she does get pregnant.

Everything is so clinical and rush at first..Osha never sticking for very long but over time after Qimir probes her information about her life (and a big fight after he finds out that she's married to a successful man) everything gets passionate and intense.

Ah.

still losing my mind at the way houses relationship with john would have fucked up the way he sees being an omega. just,,, teen house, young and confused, experiencing these absoloutely brutal heats. not understanding why they are so bad and hard when theyre supposed to be a time where an omega feels good. already feeling broken and wrong, and then having to face john's anger and disappointment over him being an omega

like i can only imagine how it would affect him in heat, a time where he would be less able to think coherently. and constantly remembering how traumatic and horrible his heats as a teen were, the memory making him feel bad and in turn making him feel physically worse. just like,,, a constant feedback loop of remembering and feeling bad -> feeling physically worse in turn -> reminding himself even more of his childhood and feeling worse

i feel like after having to deal with his first few heats without a strong family net to acclimate to the changes, once house is outta there and doing his own thing he tries to never deal with his heats alone. he marks his cycle religiously, makes deals with alphas in med school to help him through them, or even finds street suppressants if he's especially desperate.

man. you just know john has put him outside for some of his heats, too. nothing to nest with, no scent blocking patches, just left him in the yard like a sacrificial lamb. it goes without saying how dangerous that is.

hell, once he's employed i wouldn't be surprised if he stole something from the hospital to bring home in case a heat comes up that he can't deal with, something that'll knock him out for the worst of it.

Okay, see, the thing about your story ending on a negative/dystopian/'despite everything that's happened nothing has changed in society' note and doing so successfully? It needs to have been set up for that in the first place, and it needs to be done in an intentional manner.

I have nothing against works that reinforce how cruel/meaningless/pointless/etc. the world is -- I enjoy a fair few! -- but the works themselves need to be some sort of commentary about it; the plot might be demonstrative of the futility of everything, but the story never should. It should take that and build on it and use it to make a statement, underscore a point, etc. to its readers. Having everything carry on business-as-usual without acknowledging it, especially in a genre that's generally meant to conclude on optimistic, uplifting, and hopeful notes, comes off as callous and in direct opposition with the values it extols.

Plus, the story itself should never be futile because, then, well, it never mattered as a work and it makes no difference if you've read it or not. Which... that's just a badly written story lmao.

not gonna lie, i kinda love how hop and arven feel like the true protagonists of their respective games. like out of all of your traveling companions in swsh & scarvio, they're both the most prominent and important to their main storylines — along with going through the most development over the course of their games. they're the real heart of their stories to me.

I may or may not have created an entire idea for the next Star Guardian event at eleven pm last night

[bionicbore]

Y’know I kinda wanna elaborate on the HC I mentioned, where I said that if Donald hadn’t found out what Douglas was doing and intervened, Douglas would’ve eventually cracked and fessed up

Mostly I wanna elaborate that he wouldn’t have fessed up because of ethical guilt (though I do think he may have something somewhere inside him that would give a damn about ethics. He did seem pretty excited to do good things after all) but more because he’s got the emotional strength of a wet tissue and would feel personal guilt after getting so attached

I’m gonna put most of it under a cut ‘cause it turned into a full on Douglas study I guess

Like... obviously I’m prefacing this with it being my own interpretation of the guy, but Douglas was a pretty emotional dude in the show. His entire redemption was rooted in his emotional attachment to his family. His morals never 100% improved, and the growth we did see was almost entirely motivated by “My family won’t like me if I’m a bad guy :(”

And while he’s not a particularly GOOD dad, he is a dad. Literally every kid Douglas gets more than 2 minutes of screen time with, he goes into some kind of Dad Mode

So, the way I see it, I don’t think Douglas would’ve lasted if he got to keep the Rats for longer than he did. It’s never actually said how old the kids were when Donald found out, but they couldn’t have been older than like... 3? Tops? Possibly even younger, technically. If Douglas actually got to watch those kids grow up in whatever messed up environment he had them in to keep them hidden (Which, I’ll be honest- based on comparing the brothers’ lab quality, was probably a worse environment than Donald’s lab) I don’t think he would’ve been able to commit. Not with the original trio, anyway

ALSO. I wanna bring up Donald, ‘cause he’s also a factor in of himself

Yeah, the brothers fight a lot, and did fight a lot. But I think it’s worth remembering that despite that, these two founded a company together. They invented things together. They work together seamlessly when they get in the zone. Douglas, despite all the animosity, was ecstatic at the prospect of getting to work alongside his brother again, and was genuinely sad when Donald didn’t feel the same, but chose not to fight Donald’s decision

Douglas cares what Donald thinks of him, and I bet he cared a lot more before Donald discovered what was happening and made his own judgement call. The two of them had to have been incredibly close, and that probably would’ve weighed on Douglas, too

But Donald found out on his own, and he didn’t waste time. He saw the children, he saw the conditions, the plans, the schematics. There was absolutely no way to rationalize what was happening here, Donald had to get these kids out and away. His little brother was using their assets to make deals with terrorists regarding the creation of bioweapons in the form of children

And Douglas was left ghosted by the most consistent presence in his life for the past 20+ years, locked out of the company he helped build from nothing, and separated from these kids who have also been a consistent presence in his life for entirely different reasons

And Douglas is notorious for deflecting and pushing back when someone else decides that he’s in the wrong. All that potential turmoil means the time between Donald finding out and Douglas “dying” was probably like. Intense. To put it mildly

All this to say: Douglas is still a DICK lmao and the point of this post is NOT to be like “Douglas deserved better” or even “Donald is to blame.” It’s more about how Douglas is a notably emotion-driven character and how it affects his dynamics and actions, both positive and negative

It’s also my favorite kind of angst- where technically, things could have turned out okay, or at least better than they did, if everyone involved hadn’t been such a mess

[radiaking]

We all….agree that Lucy would be like. The player character right? Coop and Maximus are both romanceable companions right? Coop at the end of s1 is just a quest giver right?!

[jils-things]

i really wanna go back to ilynne at some point because i think shes one of my pkm.n ocs who isnt focused on the romantic bit so much and has more focus on her friends (i wanna canonize the bit where she and ch.eren are close waaaa) and then theres blake/nate and looker of course. ive carried little thoughts about her but haven't really elaborated here before because i keep jumping 💀💀💀but shes definitely unique from the rest of the other pk.mn ocs

[transsexualraskolnikov]

okay. i'm writing my angsty sskk fics (there's two of them. i'm doing both at the same time. multitasking) and one of them is like whump trans!aku fic but like. i forgot about the trans part halfway through and it's just pure angst without the transness having any correlation to it whatsoever so now it's just a super angsty sskk fic where akutagawa also happens to be trans as an afterthought. akjssjk
