So if you're telling me Durge was the first person to be tadpoled, and Gortash tadpoled his parents...
Gortash not only showing up to Flymm Cobblers unannounced, despite avoiding his parents for decades in the same city, seeking revenge driven by his abandonment issues ...but give me absolutely unhinged Gortash who shows up ALSO driven by grief and loss and rage.
Give me a Gortash who is a new brand of scary. This is not the ruthless politician. This is not the arms dealer. This is not Bane's Chosen. This is something foreign even to himself that verges on madness.
He shows up at their door disheveled in a way he would never allow himself to be. He smiles wide, his only intention to harm, and laughs and laughs through the tears streaming down his face.

You were going to be a knight. Ever since you were a child, you had swore you'd become a legend amongst men, sword in hand as you defended the land that provided for you. That day you'd promised your family you'd return safely, make them proud to call you their child. What a fool you were - young and naive.
You never did make it back home. You wonder if you would find a grave there with your name on it - but who would want to remember the naive child who swore to come back a knight, only to never return at all?
Hands tug at tangled strands, a brush pulling at your hair painfully a she hums. You try to bite down the urge to flinch, but it only takes one failure for her to pause, the sudden silence like a heavy weight upon your shoulders. Fear swells in your chest, suffocating you as you tremble, growing lightheaded and dizzy the longer the silence stretches on.
You do not realize you are crying, tears rolling down your cheeks as you stare at yourself numbly in the mirror, until warm hands wipe them away. Her voice is nothing but soothing and warm, but to you it is like a blade against your throat.
"Oh, darling..did I hurt you?"
She coos at you like a cornered, frightened animal, cupping your cheek as she steps around to your side, the soft click of the brush against the table making you flinch. She tilts your head to the side, kissing your cheeks and forehead, ignoring the way you tremble beneath her, unable to look into her eyes. She is so soft, so gentle with you, that you almost forget.
But you can't. It haunts you, even now - watching your fellow knights in training drowning in flame, the smell of burning flesh filling your lungs, and the sound of their screams intermingled with her voice ringing in your ears. You can never forget the way she looked at you - lips pulled back into a smile as she stepped over burning corpses to cup your face between bloody, searing palms.
You could not forget the name of another on her tongue as she called to you.
"There we are. No need to cry any longer, my heart."
You sink into her touch, too weak to find the will to resist her - her hands are like brands upon your skin, but you still lean into her, eyes closed as she kisses your brow. You do not know anything else but the searing heat of her palms and the softness in her voice reserved for someone you are not.
How naive you had been, when you had once thought that maybe, maybe, once you became a knight you'd be honored with a gift from the Gods - a vision that burned against your hip, lighting the way forward as you protected the nation you had once adored.
Now you cannot help but think it only served to reveal to you the rats hiding in the darkest corners of Mondstadt, sealing your fate amongst the bitter cold of Snezhnaya.
What a cruel joke, the God's have played on you.
You hum along to a song you do not know, sheltered in a cage of fire - a songbird who sings, despite the smoke that fills its lungs.
Till death do us part.

Chapter 6 ‘Our love had just begun’ teaser - Orpheus and Eurydice
That smirk undone her. Her heart was in tatters, and he had the audacity to laugh at her. Whatever anger she thought she felt towards Tamlin grew tenfold against Rhysand. She picked up her shoe and threw it at his head. He ducked. But just as he came back, she hit him with her other shoe, straight in his smug looking face.
Mor’s mouth hang wide open. And the taste of satisfaction left her, as soon as Feyre realized what she had done.
Rhysand starting laughing and Feyre was sure he was unhinged.

sorry but i NEED to yell about this vtuber stuff aaaAAAA
yesterday, two of the four Holostars Guild TEMPUS members met up for an offline collab: Magni Dezmond (self-proclaimed alchemist and inventor of copium), and Regis Altare (guild leader and rumored serial killer based on his hobby of going on 3am walks, as seen in this clip)
the collab was a lunchables and candy mukbang mostly sweet and goofy, just guys being dudes, except there was a running gag where every time Altare wandered off to do a thing, Dez would start whispering to chat like "help, please, get me out of here" kind of stuff, and at one point he made a message with their pizza lunchable:
Altare, meanwhile, made a show of being affectionate and silly, multiple times encouraging Dez to make a heart with their hands together. Dez thwarted this the first time by making a thumbs up and copying their stream thumbnail art, which is this:
but then later they actually made a heart, which Dez immediately turned into the thumbs up again, which Altare went serial killer mode and "attacked" him for; while Dez was calling for help to the chat his voice got cut off and the stream ended suddenly.
immediately after that, this now-deleted tweet showed up on Altare's twitter:
and after it was deleted he put this one up:
Dez hasn't tweeted since, but his last 4 twitter likes, as of this posting, spell the message H-E-L-P
aaa i love these boys so much ok their bits are legendary (yes it's a bit for the heehee hahas and nobody is actually in danger, i swear)
anyway, here's a link to the video, and a commenter has timestamped all the times Dez asked for help:
there's also already a lot of really good and funny fanart
and this will probably only get more wild and ridiculous because both of them are scheduled to be offline for the next couple of days
i cannot WAIT to see it
also sorry i left out a lot of stuff but i was trying to make the shortest version of this post i could possibly make lol
