#what a journey for him i hate him

My issue today is how Hua Cheng went from painting huge gorgeous murals of Taizi Dianxia with a tiny little gremlin Hong in the corner, to sculpting one Hua Cheng to match each Xie Lian, like an acknowledgement that his presence is something Xie Lian has always needed. And not even just Crimson Rain at his best, but all Hua Chengs. Even little Hong'er offering a flower. He was needed at every stage of their lives. He always had value.

Still thinking about how Clover on the No Mercy Route likely would've given up their quest for vengeance and lived with Martlet had Axis not told them that he killed Integrity. The only real difference between Aborted No Mercy Run Clover and No Mercy Run Clover are a few more destroyed robots and the knowledge of what Axis did, which sent their LOVE skyrocketing to LV 19.

Look at them. They can't even look Ceroba in the eye after they inflict the final blow.

I’ve been taking personality quizzes for podcast characters (long story) and I’ve completely forgotten if there’s anything in wolf 359 that’d indicate how eiffel would answer questions about religion? (And if not I’d still love to hear your thoughts of course)

okay! good question. short answer: ... with mild irreverence?

in memoria, minkowski is frustrated with eiffel over thanksgiving dinner because "we haven't even said grace yet" to which eiffel replies: "rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub. let's eat!"

in deep breaths, you get: "there’s other things happening asides from sanitized pagan rituals" and "i’ll be able to light my cigarette without lighting the air around me on fire. the way that baby jesus intended."

in the empty man cometh, when everyone's freaking out, you can hear eiffel say the lord's prayer, but, um. well, you can find that full clip here, and it's described as "what a panicked eiffel thinks the lord's prayer sounds like." i think it's probably worth noting that the lord's prayer is commonly said in movies, and he... well, he adds his own spin to it? either he doesn't know the words, or doesn't care. ... likely both?

my read is that eiffel has internalized some (pop) culturally christian influences without realizing it, as a secular american guy who was raised by television and surrounded by christian culture, but he wasn't raised religious and doesn't believe in god. he can be a little superstitious, though, even if he feels he should know better and is embarrassed by that, and he's not too proud to try praying if that's what it comes to. i think his family probably celebrated christmas, in the "secular" way, and he either got a combined birthday-christmas gift or he got one actual gift and one gift of socks.

more speculatively, i like to personally think eiffel had at least one set of jewish grandparents, whether or not he knew them. minkowski strikes me as being from an interfaith family, it aligns well with her personal conflicts about faith, culture, and assimilation, and i like when eiffel and minkowski have something in common, but with completely incompatible approaches. minkowski struggles with her sense of identity. eiffel's response is more or less a resounding shrug.

i don't think eiffel would make being an atheist a big part of his personality or anything, he's not exactly smug in the way that implies, but he does have a bit of that "oh, so we all have to do what you say because an invisible guy in the sky says so?" brand of atheism within him. eiffel thinks the flying spaghetti monster stuff is funny.

[markantonys]

i was skimming some of my old WOT liveblogs and i've found what i believe to be my first ever recorded Gawyn Thoughts. an important historic relic! pretty sure it was from TGH or TDR.

look at my innocent little self assuming that popularly-maligned WOT characters must surely be popularly maligned for justifiable reasons. i had so much faith in the fandom back then!

if there's a tag that's 'past lwj/wwx' and the other tags aren't 'breakup and make-up' or something to that effect I swear to god...

JUST figured out how i can incorporate another of amy’s idle dialogue into my cryptic castle ficccc <3

[buddiesmutslut]

I’m being so ffr rn, if the show runners definitively show that Buddie is not going to happen?

I’m probably not going to be watching anymore.

I mean it when I say that they’re literally the sole reason I watched this show in the first place. I saw a billion TikTok edits of them & was like “Idek these characters I need to watch this show and see what’s going on over there.”

And like, it’s a fun show, I’m not saying it isn’t, but first responder shows are a dime a dozen. There are other shows that have queer characters and found family and wild adventures. Granted, they don’t have Buck & his bi arc, but I’d still read fanfics to get my Evan Buckley fix lol.

I don’t need them right now, I’m so down for the slow burn, will-they-won’t-they & the pining & the yearning & the build up and the GOOD foundation. I want to see Eddie figuring himself out and dealing with his repression and figuring out he’s queer (& Demi, pls God. I hope if I just say it enough, I can will it into existence somehow) before anything happens with the two of them, but if they take definitive steps to have one of them like, marry someone else or something, I think I’m gonna head out. Find me on ao3 for the rest of my days lol.

rewatching the road not taken animated short on the train was a bad idea
