keep fighting the good fight against this weird misconception that vik is somehow stoic and unemotional, bestie 🫡 cause idk where the hell people picked that up lol

thank you!!! fandom is always gonna fandom, reducing characters to two-dimensional tropes to make them mix-and-matchable. it's especially unfortunate when the characters we're given in Arcane are so rich and nuanced. the best antidote is to go back and rewatch the source material imo lol.

thanks for enjoying my tags also!! I used to write actual meta many years ago but at some point lost my nerve or lost the time. now it lives in the tags. I don't know many people in the jayvik fandom here, it seems mostly active on twitter, but I'm glad to be noticed by at least a couple people here :) your blog is great!!

I have things I should be working on but I'm too busy wondering what a Low or High Kochanski would be like

For the Spirits—Chapter III: Keep Your Plans

At the risk of feeling dumb, check in

It's not worth the risk of losing a friend

Even if they say:

“Just keep your plans, I hope

That you never have to drop

Anything for me.”

—At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb by Twenty One Pilots

Yume had to resist the urge to sigh. She already knew how this would go. All roads led to tea, Pai Sho, and no straight answers. If she could go back in time and reach out to her younger self, she’d warn the tired face in the mirror to enjoy Iroh’s company while he still made sense.

She cursed the Crew under her breath, doing her best to give the General a smile back or, at least, keep a straight face.

Why did I even say yes to this?

Yelena - Who has brought your OC to tears before?

- Who has brought your OC to tears before?

- Is there someone your OC liked at first, but then grew to dislike?

Hehe, thank you!! These are for this ask game.

Who has brought your OC to tears before?

Yelena is not easily moved to tears, or any emotion really. She's extremely level-headed and has a good grasp on her feelings, so the only characters I can think of across both games that might make her cry are the gods themselves, and that's largely out of frustration with them.

I will say, I do think if somehow she and Aloth had missed each other at Port Maje, and she later found his body at Ori o Koīki, that would have gotten to her. Thankfully, though, that's not what happened.

Is there someone your OC liked at first, but then grew to dislike?

Not exactly. I do think she and Maia had their ups and downs; Yelena very explicitly doesn't like the Royal Deadfire Company and disapproves of Maia's mission which I'm sure caused some tension. In the end I think they had an understanding and even considered each other friends, of a sort.

(I do need to go back and replay Deadfire, because the RDC is always the faction I end up having to face in Ukaizo. Which I'm not satisfied with for several reasons, including the fact Maia and Yelena's relationship not being affected by it feeling weird.)

Is there someone your OC didn’t like at first, but then got along with later?

Hmm..."get along" is a strong word, but Durance did grow on Yelena in a weird way. I think she starts to view him as a tragic figure betrayed by his goddess at some point, though he's still abrasive as all hell and I don't think I'd say she likes him. She just doesn't hate him the way she thought she would end up when they first met.

I've come to the conclusion that loving young royals doesn't mean I can't be critical about it, maybe especially bc I love the show so much I have such strong feelings about it, good and bad and I can love parts of canon and agree with it and appreciate it but I don't have to love it all. I have accepted that it's okay if I don't accept the ending and I don't have to force myself to support it. It's okay to not agree with all of canon and it's okay to not side with all of the creators' intentions/views. Loving a show doesn't mean you have to take everything the writers say on face value and that's the only version that is allowed to exist. Canon isn't everything and fandom is about curating your own experience that makes you happy and not miserable. You don't have to dismiss canon in every aspect and ignore it entirely, that's certainly not what I want but there is a fine line between being canon respectful, allowing some parts to exist and sometimes, yes, you just have to say "fuck canon" and move on for your own sanity and wellbeing

his brother died and one of his first thoughts were that it should’ve been him instead because now people are going to be disappointed…

[goodluckclove]

I do enjoy being friends with writers across different fields. I did, however, just recently end a long-term friendship I had with a freelance journalist/medium columnist. And because of how radically she misinterpreted our last few conversations there's a chance she thinks I did it because she's poly.

Which is. Oh my god. Not even the prologue to that story. But it would make a pretty engaging article, wouldn't it?

Anywho I'm hoping she won't be as petty as I feel like she might be, but since she wrote a Medium think piece after her last bad relationship there's a good chance she might write one about my perceived polyphobia. I'm imagining she won't name me? But holy shit if she does this I'm circumventing my don't argue online rule because holy SHIT.

[bookishforce]

the only thing I'm grateful to Only Friends about at this stage is introducing me to Force and Book ~~

I will finish it because I want to support them but the glossing over the trauma and not allowing the growth of their characters has actually made me so sad??

Manifesting an excellent series that they're the main couple in next year, they deserve better. I kind of don't rlly understand the hate on them tho? Lots of actors have shitty series & characters (which I don't think is the case with them) and they're still liked? make it make sense plez

neighbor died yesterday morning.

barely knew her. talked to her last week. adored her but, again, barely knew her.

feel hollowed out thinking about her and looking at her house knowing it’s now empty. more empty than it has ever looked even between tenants.

/ Anyways my headcanon is that by being in the manor, Louis has become more active in the sense that Matthias will frequently see that's he's 'changed places' or find him laying down or in a sitting position in places that dont make much sense? Like in the botanical garden, or in the kitchen's storage room. It was mentioned in his trailer how after he burns him for the first time, the period in which Louis drops by Matthias door as if nothing happened shortens, from weeks to a week, to days, to a day. At this point, Louis will appear back in one day, that's the point it's reached. no matter if he's burned to a crisp, even if Matthias were to throw Louis in the snow or dismantle him or burn him, Louis will appear the next day in front of his door, with no exceptions.

At this point he's pretty much lost any hope of getting rid of him by conventional means so maybe by participating in the strange manor game, he'll find an answer as of what Louis truly is, and more importantly, to escape him and his own past for once and for all.

I would like to nominate Inspector Gadget (from the film) as a Fairytale Princess.
