dark academia this, dark academia that REAL DARK ACADEMIERS are at 3AM checking THREE DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS OF THE SAME LETTER A TWINK WROTE OVER 500 YEARS AGO

i'm sitting on my bed, 4 DIFFERENT BOOKS ALL ABOUT THE SAME THING SPREAD AROUND ME, MY NIGHTSTAND IS SLOWLY TURNING INTO AN ACTUAL LIBRARY SECTION, MY "CHILL COMFORT BOOK" IS A BIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL (PUBLISHED IN THE 60's) OF THE HISTORICAL FIGURE I'M WRITING AND RESEARCHING ABOUT.

and also two months ago I CRIED AT HIS GRAVE.

LEGIT. CRIED. TEARS. BAWLING MY EYES OUT. NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING TO MAKE A POINT. I SOBBED.

like i think this is not even "dark academia" this is straight up mental problems.

it is a little funny, a little ironic, because as much as the Ember Island Players episode wants to be like "see?? you're silly for thinking zuko and katara's dynamic is romantic" it doesn't quite think through the in-world implications of the play because, conceivably, this play is built largely upon rumor, right? biased or purposefully distorted first, second, or third-hand accounts of the gaang and their journey? (and then of course, whatever artistic liberties the play writers want to take)

Because that all begs the question - why do the play writers think zuko and katara are together?? Like literally lmao was it just for the Drama of it all? Or do enough people in the avatar universe perceive Zuko and Katara to be a couple for it to be a far spread rumor?? Is June gossiping in taverns like "oh the fire nation prince? yeah he hired me to find his girlfriend. he had her betrothal necklace and everything"??

And how did the play writers (or anyone for that matter) even know that Zuko and Katara had shared a Moment with one another in the crystal caverns? Were there like, Dai Li Agents spying on them from afar? Watching katara huff and stalk around and yell at zuko then like five seconds later they see her cradling Zuko's face and they're just like "bro" "bro" "no way" "there's no war in ba sing se but we've got to tell people about that."

Then isn't it also implied this play is fairly popular in the fire nation? Like how many years after the war is the average fire nation citizen convinced that Zuko and Katara are an item?

I feel so so bamboozled. I got spoiled for the Gerry and Gertrude reveal right and everyone is all like "aww Gerry is so happy I'm so glad he's ok in this universe" and there's so much freaking fanart already and then I actually listened to the episode... guys there is something wrong with that boy. No one, and I mean NO ONE, is that nice to two strangers dressed in civil service uniforms who knock on your door at 5 in the morning. Like he invited them in before they even introduced themselves. I don't care how untouched by fears he could be in this universe (and he's not) no person is normally just like "hey random lady, take my painting I spent many hours working on and have hanging in my kitchen." Just something is very off there I am very worried for the future.

LEGEND tells of a LEGENDARY COWPOKE… whose sharpshootin’ skills were the stuff of LEGEND

Sorry for this one. I really am. I kept mixing up the furious five and the feisty five and then I thought about it for a little too long

Price/Gaz shippers, I was today years old before I learned of your existence. Please write me your manifesto. I get it, I think I get it at least, but your should tell me the storied history of your ship and your favorite element of the dynamic. Just to make sure I actually get what I think y'all are putting down.

wish it was cool and acceptable to write fanfiction of your own work, especially before the original work is actually done 😂

I don't know if there's a sufficient explanation hidden somewhere in the game or if all of this is just one big retcon, but for me the reason why Veilguard Crows seem different from what Zevran described is one part just different Houses handling their recruitment and training differently, and one part the Crow characters just acting normal despite the horrible shit that happened to them because they either don't know any better, have come from a worse background (cough Mien cough) or just re-contextualize it in their heads as necessary. Like that one friend who starts fondly reminiscing about something that happened to them in their childhood only for the other person to sit there thinking 'this is extremely traumatizing'.

I find it extremely funny that Craig and Octavio are running a booth together at Grand Fest. Like you KNOW Octavio was probably like "Look your granddaughters and my grandchildren former soldiers are all here to have a good time. So truce." And then they get to old man gossiping and then maybe some reminiscing about before the war and their past friendship and words left unsaid and and and

When you find out years later that you accidentally named one of your henchmen

Image ID: A multi-panel comic featuring au sanses. Panel 1: In Killer's original universe. A dark figure stands in the foreground while Killer is sitting back in the snow, covered in blood. Killer says "wh-what are you?" Panel 2: The dark figure is Nightmare but only his smile is visible. He says "I am Nightmare, guardian of all negativity in the multiverse ...and I have a proposition for you, Sans." Panel 3: Nightmare's hand is outstreched, he says "Come with me willingly and I'll take you out of this desolate and barren universe and let you loose on many others." Panel 4: Killer is looking back at Nightmare warily, a thought bubble shows he is thinking "other universes...?". He says "...in exchange for what? What do you want with me?" Panel 5: Nightmare's tentacles are reaching out towards Killer. He says "I feed off the fear and misery and hatred in this world, stirring these up will keep me powerful enough to fight against the guardian of positivity. In short," Panel 6: Nightmare is looming over Killer now, his tentacles surrounding him. He says "I just need you to be a good little killer." The word killer is in red text. Panel 7: Killer is grasping Nightmare's hand, having accepted his offer. Panel 8: Now in a different au, Nightmare stands beside Killer as he taunts Dream, who is out of frame. He says "You're outnumbered now Dream, I have a killer with me this time." The word killer is in red text again. Panel 9: Dream is lying on the ground looking hurt and ruffed up. Killer is standing in the background, looking ready to continue beating Dream up. Nightmare says from out of frame "You should know better than to turn your back on a killer by now." The word killer is in red text again. Panel 10: Nightmare is standing by Killer again, looking smug. He says to Dream, who is not shown "You'll need more than that pathetic bow next time you meet with my killer here." The word killer is in red text again. Killer is looking towards Nightmare, pleased with this. Panel 11: We are now in Nightmare's castle, present day. It is revealed to be Killer telling these events to Dust, who looks bored. Killer says "-and the name stuck, so that's why I'm called Killer now." Dust says very quietly "did I ask" Panel 12: Nightmare is standing in the corner behind them, he looks very surprised and concerned after hearing all this. Text with an arrow pointing to him reads "Didn't realise he had done this." Killer from out of frame says "he doesn't really call me his killer anymore tho" with a frowny face. Dust, also out of frame, says "that's nice now shut up" End ID.
