Mother and Son 🐺🌸

Why I still swear by romancing Minthara in act 1 even though there's a way to recruit her otherwise.

Both have their strong narrative beats, to be sure: taking pity on an enemy Vs two broken people putting each other back together.

I just really like the emotional climax the latter reaches, especially if you continue her romance.

This manwha just said that if u r a woman and u r wronged enough, ur rage will become an act of creation so powerful as to defy god and prevent him from interfering w ur attempts to change the nature of the universe. And I felt that.

Actually, building on the tags I wrote on that poll [link]--

I dunno how common it is (I've seen at least a couple fics kinda reference ideas similar to this), but! I like to HC that the trainguys have little control of one feature that remains mostly inert (Face for Ingo, Voice for Emmet) that they compensate for with very rigid control over the other (vice versa).

The problem being (and this is where I may diverge), they both tend to OVERcompensate. So while Emmet has (what he thinks) is a nice and pleasant smile at all times, it can come off as kind of weird because it's SO big and ALWAYS on. Combined with his otherwise flat affect and highly direct, not-always-polite word choice, that sometimes puts folks off.

Ingo is the same way in the opposite direction; he's speaking with such emotion that everyone will surely understand what he's feeling! (or, rather, whatever feeling he is trying to project) But, again, he's got no sense of scale; he projects his voice with SO MUCH emotion that it can kind of give some people the impression that he's being insincere, or even sarcastic. This impression is only heightened by the fact that his face is All Frowny All The Time.

Most people tend to take them where they're coming from, but sometimes people get a bad impression from them and/or take them in bad faith.

Writing positivity challenge: everyone who reblogs this must say one thing/skill they are proud of in their own writing.

(Feel free to tag as many or as few people as you want, idk, the rules are mostly just an excuse to be proud in public about your writing, and then share it to give your followers an excuse to do the same.)

I'll start.

I am very good at: editing written work.

I tag: everyone who sees this, does any kind of writing, and is up for being proud of things in public.

*Wylan and Jesper are babysitting for Kaz and Inej. Wylan is sitting on the floor with Sadja on his lap, and all of her toys are lined up neatly in front of them*

Wylan: Now, Sadja, another way to organise your stuffed animals is by size

Jesper: I’m sorry, is this a game for Sadja or for Wylan?

Wylan: Game??

*Kaz and Inej come back*

Inej: Oh, Sadja, look at all your stuffed animals lined up so neatly!

Wylan: ☺️ thanks

Kiada, slightly concerned: you mean like behind my back?

finally caved and ordered the limited edition vinyl for the Hitman: Codename 47 soundtrack ;A; was a bit pricey considering how few tracks there are on it but I haven't added a new vinyl to my (very small) collection in so long and I'm excited to have a physical version of a soundtrack I already really like!!! aaaaaa

rlly dumb joke i made after my friend suggested Liy mirror pronouns but in like a devious pronoun thief sort of way

I neeeeed to talk about the final chapter of Pawn in Frankincense because, oh my.

It's SO painful, so raw and stark, but also SO beautiful and moving?? How do you combine those things so flawlessly?

If I screamed, you wouldn’t like it, Lymond had said. And because the anguish could now no longer be borne, and because he would not scream, he was using the uncontrollable voice, the trumpet of suffering and conduit of impossible sorrows. And he had dressed it, as a burning ship sets out her fragments of bunting, with the trappings of poetry. Agony spoke in the ringing, uneven voice, but decently transmuted into the words of the poets, flowing onwards and onwards, verse after verse, tongue after tongue.

(Pawn in Frankincense, ch 29, Volos)

I MEAN.

On the one hand, I'm wrecked by what's happening to Lymond, the trauma of everything he's been through and is suffering, the beauty of Marthe's care for him. On the other hand, I am wildly entertained by how Extra it is that Francis doesn't deal with withdrawal like a normal person, screaming, no... he screams POETRY.

And I'm remaining floored that, the more I read these books (this was my fourth read of PiF), the more I'm being hit in the face with how freaking stunning they are. I think I was so drained the first read through, and now I'm here like just... let me wallow in this beauty.

abby i’m going crazy over the how did it end? bridge. “the deflation of our dreaming” is SO SAD OH MY GOD? oh my god

NO BECAUSE SHE WAS SO INSANE FOR THAT. “the death rattle breathing” really gets me. the imagery has me running around like a hamster on a wheel, its so fucking visceral. and when she follows it up with “silenced as the soul was leaving, the deflation of our dreaming” the deflation evokes the image of a final breath being taken and the lungs deflating. LEAVING ME BEREFT AND REELING??? and “my beloved ghost and me, sitting in a tree d-y-i-n-g” the ghost is obviously their relationship personified, which just took its final breath and fucking died, and the idea of her sitting with that ghost is so heartbreaking already.. but when you add in the play on sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g it’s such a devastating reminder of the often childlike excitement that comes with falling in love and it absolutely turns that concept on its head because she is D Y I N G. the entire bridge is being SLEPT ON so thank you for this opportunity to ramble. and the fucking end of the song. HER asking how did it end. how did we get here, how did it come to this. i’m gonna rip all of my hair out actually.

[karlyboyyy]

Absolutely love seeing all this Angel Devil / AkiAngel fan art depicting Angel as this overly-dramatic crybaby soggy pathetic mess. Like we all just sorta collectively decided that that’s his personality around Aki, as if my man Aki doesn’t already have enough emotionally-draining dumpster fire personalities surrounding him on the daily

Prime Report for November 2023

It's that time again, Dreamers! First day of November and time to look at all the stuff on the horizon. I may be jumping the gun just slightly this month but we probably won't get too many reveals until the devstream later this month so I'll probably add any developments in a reblog. Let's get to it!

Prime Access

Grendel Prime reigns Prime Access supreme with the Zylok Prime and Masseter Prime. They have not announced when or what the next Prime Access will be after him, but it should by all accounts be Gauss Prime. Hopefully they'll show him off on the Devstream later this month.

Harrow Prime and his weapons are in the vault, and Garuda Prime and hers are next in line. For a more in depth breakdown on future vaultings, I wrote up the next few cycles in my October post, which you can find here if you want to factor those into your plans.

Prime Resurgence

Zephyr Prime and Chroma Prime leave Prime Resurgence TOMORROW (Nov 2 at 2pm ET). Now is the time to obtain them, their accessories, and their weapons (Kronen Prime, Tiberon Prime, Rubico Prime and Gram Prime) or relics containing them before they disappear into the void again.

Coming to Prime Resurgence tomorrow are Nezha Prime and Octavia Prime. They bring with them Guandao Prime, Zakti Prime, Tenora Prime, and Pandero Prime, as well as all their accessories. This marks the first time that either of them have been available since their vaulting, which was about a year ago for both of them. It seems like this may lay down a pattern for the future of needing to wait at least a year of vault time before frames have eligibility for Prime Resurgence, but we'll see if it holds true.

Frost Prime and Mag Prime and their weapons are also still available until the end of the year. More details on them were also in my October post (link above).

If I get bored in the middle of the month maybe I will make a fun post predicting future Prime Resurgence candidates or something, we'll see.

That's all for now! We'll see how things change over the month. Tune in next time for more exciting Prime News!

Bro. I headcanon that Roberto can speak Spanish(even I don't know if they even speak anymore earth languages).

Now imagine that he speaks dirty talk in spanish to Meryl when they do the devils tango, but not only is just dirty talk, but also love confessions like, how grateful he is that Meryl is in his life and he will never regret meeting her. Meryl, sweet little Meryl doesn't understand anything, but is red like a tomato, because Roberto got that deep sexy smoker voice.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

IF NOT ANYTHING HE HAS TO DO THIS IN ANY REGULAR EARTH/MODERN AU
