odysseus the moment when, for the first time in 20 years, nobody is trying to kill him: whelp, guess it's time to kms
#epic the musical#like he's so real for that#it just makes me giggle#also the fact that ruthlessness is mercy#in this case being ruthless to himself is the only mercy against the voices in his head#also also the fact that he became the monster#i.e. the thing he is now fighting#man vs monster to man vs self pipeline is the same battle#also also the fact that he chose his life over everyone else's and is immediately like#fuck#actually i don't want this#but not just because of the guilt#which would do it for any mortal#but because he's battled hunger and storms and monsters and gods to get home to his wife#and now he's on a literal magic prison that makes it IMPOSSIBLE for him to get home to his wife and kid#the only thing he wants to do#like no wonder he's going through it#“please let me close my eyes” king i love you#you may have killed a baby and your idea of greeting the world with open arms is pre-poisoning wine with lotus juice but i still love you#at least the musical version#fae rambles#odysseus

#fucks me up that there are two whole new animals in the house that i barely know#who depend on me for everything#barely recognize me as a friend or helper#and are so incredibly incredibly fragile#i got worried for junie today because her spay incision had some swelling#and it's normal to have some and i have seen it before#but after what we just wemt through i got upset and rushed her to the vet#who said it was fine and thankfully we have free office visits#but i was so upset even though i knew it was probably normal#i look at them and i see adorable cuddly sweet TEMPORARY things and i feel like something inside me got broken somehow#and i was right all along that after it was all over i would come back but not quite as myself#i just hadn't fully understood the extent#we are keeping them and it sort of had to happen when it did but i think it was too early for me#they are so cute and when they do cuddle it's so sweet and obviously i would fight for them as hard as i would for Fancy#because that's just how the deal works and it isn't about you at all it's about how they each carry a little world inside them just as we d#and that deserves equal respect and care regardless of my personal affections#but i look at them and i see little creatures that don't belong here and are foreign in some fundamental way#and that they will be gone in just a little while and things will go back to how they were#which is impossible#we will settle in and i doubt anything i am feeling is abnormal but I'm really struggling and i feel so bad about that#i don't know#it's just a lot to deal with#and i feel very lonely and sad about it#and under it all the sick feeling of having JUST held all three lads as they passed and the VISCERAL reality of it#and knowing one day if everything goes just right i will be holding them too#dear god life is so fragile and every living thing is just as mortal as any other

i gotta admit i do have a lipollo draft rn. have had it for a while. it’s short it’s a mortal au but it’s there i guess.
#my intention has been to publish this one once i’m finished with one of my other wips#which is also a mortal au#because there are very subtle overlaps/references in each wip#i do think it’s quite ooc. i’m still not sure whether i want it to be wholly romantic or queerplatonic#but meh. writing is fun and i couldn’t think of any other set of characters that would work with my mental imagery#chat should i publish this one day or let it rot#apollo pjo#lester papadopoulos#trials of apollo#litpollo#yeet.txt#lityerses

Random TGCF AU of two days ago actually but it won’t leave me alone
Beefleaf AU where HX accidentally gets SQX pregnant… and revenge has to be put on hold because Shi Wudu loves his nibling a lot and is doing 90% of the childcare
#tgcf#random tgcf thoughts#shi qingxuan#shi wudu#he xuan#I can’t see any scenario where swd would trust sqx with a child#so he steps in to help and doesn’t take no for an answer#unfortunately this au also has him think hx is the scum of the earth#because hx (on account of being dead) initially did not believe he could have gotten sqx pregnant#and inadvertently accused her of cheating#which went over very predicatably oops#they make up eventually but swd isn’t the forgive and forget type#beefleaf#technically. if i wrote this it would be very much focused on swd’s relationships haha#swd looking after sqx when she’s pregnant and scared and has just been dumped#scheming with pm & lw on how to explain this child in a way that doesn’t harm sqx’s reputation#being a very present mother in law that hx would complain about on aita if it existed#teaching hx how to do childcare things because he’d better know these things even if swd is around#nagging and lecturing beefleaf nonstop and then being extremely soft when it’s his turn with the baby#kidnapping a doctor from the mortal realm with promises of wealth to look after sqx to make sure nothing goes wrong

Ok but the entire Dawn winery staff jumping around informing each other that kaeya is here so all of them get a chance to see him was very sweet, like i knew the staff cared about him but it’s nice to get a confirmation and few childhood stories lol
#The DW staff throwing diluc off the stairs to get to see kaeya: MOVE#connor run all the way to get him the wine like buddy#Me running screaming and turning on the floor because i get to listen to Crepus and kaeya stories#I never asked for a perfect Crepus just a good dad Crepus and i GOT IT!#the basterd i actually believed diluc when he said he didn’t like wine for its taste#but apparently his pride was so hurt by his father punishment he just made wine his mortal enemy#Which seeing the fact that it was out of his own actions it checks out#Wow master diluc#Any way i would die for addy#Addy basically said: if they were getting into trouble 10/9 of times it’s somehow Diluc’s doing and she is right#kaeya being the favorite child is making my day ifdvnk#Kaeya#diluc#im not doing the rest i don’t have the energy#Feel free to spoil#genshin impact#Crepus

#mortal kombat#shang tsung#bi han#sub zero#okay can we just take a moment to acknowledge that shang tsung would make bi han's clone#and it is not just that he wanted bi han (cryomancer) on his own#but what we saw in shang tsung's laboratory was a mess#some abnormal bodies and i'm not even sure if anything was alive and if it was did any creature could do anything on their own at all#while the “monsters” that attacked heroes were just messed up tarkat sick people#right?#and here is full copy of bi han in excellent shape#both physically and intelectually#which means shang tsung really put a lot effort into this project of his#unless it was titan shang tsung soo i guess the difference in quality makes sense XD

Knowing in my head that Vashwood would never work out if they were in a sentimental relationship adds a fundamental layer of delusional in my own personal VW experience
#it is essential for WW to die no matter what. or else V keeps standing with his own views immovable#surely. he might put them at question eventually. but WW and V question each others views in ways that the consequences#are quite literally mortal for one of them to understand. the one being Vash#I don’t know how to elaborate on this better but I just know they wouldn’t go a day without fighting over morals or shit like that#the solution would be nothing most likely. just ignoring the problem forever making it grow and grow#going unaddressed assuming the other will understand. and they do understand to an extent just not to their full potential#they take the best and the worst out of each other which can arguably be a good thing#but they have to be out of each other’s grasp in order to understand the true value of the other with no way back to them methinks#I’m not making any sense perhaps but I do make enough sense to myself so that is that#that’s why fanfiction is the best thing ever#lenssi rambles#vashwood#nicholas d wolfwood#vash the stampede#trigun

sometimes being so overly sensitive makes it hard to function like how do people do it. today we drove past three dead pheasants and i'm expected to be fine about the fact that they died alone and in pain and everyone keeps driving as if they never mattered. as if they didn't live and breathe and think. ok
#how is this fine. am i insane. how is it not so devastating that it stifles you#today i learned that the life span of a wild fox is three to four years#does that not make you want to cry every time you see one in the street. knowing they will never be safe#how do you look at your cats and not feel consumed with sadness because they won't be here forever#and no matter what you do you can't ever guarantee that they will always be healthy and safe#and they don't even understand any of this because they're just babies#which should be comforting because it means they aren't aware of their own mortality#but it somehow makes it sadder. like you don't know you are the entire world to me and i will spend my life missing you#i fear i'm genuinely a bit mental#because this shit keeps me up regularly#maybe it's the ocd. or the autism. maybe i'm just weird#it does get worse when an animal dies. i guess rescuing duck + finding out he died is the reason this time#i rescue A Lot of animals so this happens to me all the time#and i don't get any better at dealing with it#i still think of the chicks + lambs + mice + chickens we couldn't save when i was a kid#and the fact that sometimes a litter of animals would be born and the universe just decided that one wasn't going to make it#and it would be lying there dying whilst its siblings got stronger and braver and ate and played#and it wouldn't know or understand that it had drawn the short straw for no reason and would never get to live#WHY is the world like this how do you make peace with that#they think duck was hit by a car. only a man made thing can do that amount of damage right#the fact he was just a little animal he was so small and delicate and then he ended up all mangled like that#it's so unfair. poor angel#ask to tag

society if hoo had them at uni age and the lost trio went to chb and chiron is like "how tf are ANY of u alive and unclaimed". wilderness was just community college.
#on a serious note this changes a lot actually. annabeth and percy would not be in chb anymore so when percy goes missing#its like. a genuine possibility and fear because demigods don't make it that old. there is also some added time between tlo and tlh as well#further adding to jasons isolation as being even WEIRDER than everyone else. he also would've been praetor for longer so maybe the romans#wouldve cared more. this also does away with the plot hole of ppl not giving a shit that jason piper and leo (and dylan) straight up#dipped. introducing piper especially to a summer camp makes chb less appealing because they're too old for that and thus makes their#departure from chb make more sense in toa. yet also it opens up the possibility of new rome uni.... which i cannot see any reason as to why#leo would not go there!!!!! outside of being banned cuz he bombed new rome lol. but pipers sexuality arc works for college too!!! ur never#too old to find urself. but also this is the question of if you are able to relatively function in society (this is more for piper leo fran#and i guess percy) then why would you even fight this prophecy??? anyway lol them being college aged is perfect cuz percy is literally#going to a new place and having a new transition with new ppl... like u do in college LOL. now the question is would hazel still be 13. nic#is a lot older at this point and perhaps has the same age gap as bianca and him did 🤔 cant remember. but also don't know why hazel was 13#in the first place lol. idk. in my college hoo she is just a senior in hs about to graduate from spqr and thinking about staying there or#possibly going to newru after seeing frank make the decision the previous year! SAD!#anyway in hoo. percy and annabeth are sophomores. frank and the lost trio are freshman.#but then in toa. percy annie frank and the lost trio are all graduating cuz percy got held back and Annabeth failed after tartarus fr.#but then also know that piper never went to newru and is adamant about going to mortal uni. and leo kills in newru but is bored. nvm i#forgot he died 🧍♂️ ummmmmm ok. ignore leo. and jason actually. so um. ok that really threw me off but are u getting it. that's when apollo#is like 'heeyyyyy i need help pwease 🥺' and they're all like 'dude.'#OK!#but also i ackowedge that this is a children's book and i am not its demographic so god be with you.

god help me i'm going insane about dickson xenoblade again
#this is what i get for thinking about lord of the rings too hard this week (specifically denethor / gríma / saruman and the like)#thinking about the way anthony may delivered “when will you learn you HAVE no future?”#he thinks shulk is fully DEAD at that point. he thinks HE killed him. which he very much meant to. but now that the kid is no longer there#now that the terrible future he's been preparing for and actively working to bring about has in fact come about#i don't know that dickson really cared anymore. he played his part he did the deed expected and he did it unquestioningly. So What Now?#well. now nothing. now the world that he spent so long biding his time in; so long getting enmeshed in (even for nefarious purposes)#is about to end; is about to be gone forever.#sure zanza will probably just create another world and maybe he (dickson) will have Even More Power in the new one#(though that's not a given! he doesn't know for SURE his lord and god will keep his promise!)#but like. what the hell does he care at this point#dickson SAYS he wants power but i suspect that long long ago what the giant dickson really wanted was SURVIVAL.#we never get to know just how he became a disciple or what the giant civilization looked like in its heyday or how it ended#but in MY headcanon dickson saw that some kind of destruction coming and he wanted Out#and maybe he hated his peers and figured any power and prestige that came from this bargain was just a bonus#i think he thought of himself as a saruman type: powerful; remote; far above the petty troubles of mortals (even the long-lived high entia)#but i have always headcanoned that by his later days (i.e. when he started engaging w/colony 9; machina village; etc. in earnest)#he committed too hard to the bit and started “going native” as it were; started to give a shit in ways that he would never dare admit#maybe not as much of a shit as; you know; a regular guy would. but more than an immortal disciple and horseman of the apocalypse should.#and all the time knowing that all the world he'd seen would soon be gone#maybe everyone else can get fucked. but shulk had to die too. and that's what their god MADE them to do.#he can't allow himself to care or to hope for another option bc in his mind it's already over; decided; that's it#what else can you do in the face of ultimate power but bow to it and take whatever scraps may fall to an obedient servant?#“you have no future” nor does he except that shulk came back. except that the peoples of bionis/mechonis just wouldn't accept Fate.#and in some final rebellious corner of his mind he starts putting eggs in shulk's basket. “if they can't even defeat telethia they won't#stand a chance against me (or zanza)” so let's see if they CAN. oh they did? how about a dragon? oh fuck they defeated the dragon too?#well fuck. maybe there WAS another option all along. but will/can they stand against me; the final disciple? oh they can??#guess i'll die then bc i'm not looking THAT in the face. i am NOT unpacking my cowardice/failure/lack of vision after all these years.#good luck with that tho <3 you're welcome for the training btw. where i'm going i don't have to see your trauma assuming you live that long.#dickson#xenoblade

I'm starting to warm up to the idea that Lilith and Adam were created as a metaphor for ying and yang. I used to dislike it back when I first read about it because it was incredibly sexist, but now that I'm older I feel I can draw new parallels that make more sense in my mind.
With Lilith being an avatar of evil and Adam being an avatar for good, the role of the forbidden tree of knowledge makes a lot more sense to me. Knowing the difference between good and evil would make for a greyer outlook on life, which Lilith might have had a tiny grasp over because she had actually struggled against her nature prior to leaving Eden. Meanwhile, Adam had to eat the fruit in order to gain sight over it, which was something that Lilith did not indulge in.
Lilith is a vessel for evil. She rounds her world view over time as she spends more time with those who have a grey outlook on life because it's easier to relate to someone with a little bit of darkness in them. This is why she is only willing to compromise when she can meet someone in the middle.
I would say that she is greyer than she started, but her natural way of being still has a dark core that would probably never change (unless she is fundamentally altered in some way, like if she were to consume the forbidden fruit)
#ooc : the mortal#Would her being the avatar for evil have any other mystical attributes...?#Idk yet#I need to study her more before I decide on anything#Then again what is evil in the context of eden#She used to be very nurturing back then#I'm guessing it was just the potential that could've ruined the whole thing which was something she didn't have access to#I do have a loose idea that she has actually considered killing Adam which probably terrified her to her core#The dark wants to snuff out the light#Death wants to stake its claim over life#Maybe she has gotten so exhausted by their competitions that when they competed to see how long they could hold their breath under water#The silence she was left with while he was submerged tempted her to keep his head under it for a little while longer#Which might be why the angels wanted to kill her by drowning her 👀#It's an eye for an eye#That'd explain her connection to Cain since the Zohar claims he is similar to her#Adam: I don't like you but I need you to procreate (life driven)#Lilith: I don't like you and I will refute your access to me and implicitly life as a whole (death driven)

I like having joined a book fandom that's still new and fresh cause we get to nerdily bond as we devour a release of a new book in the series and I get to see all the theories and discussions and memes in real time as opposed to years later when everyone else knows how it ends so I have to block the fandom bc of spoilers. It's a feeling I haven't had since a teenager bc as of late I drag my ass into a fandom like a decade after its hayday and miss all the fun stuff
But it sucks ass that I am no longer as weirdly and eerily patient like I was as a child and the nine month wait for Heavenly Tyrant to come out is driving me crazy
#iron widow#no for real i would freak out adults with how calmly and quietly I'd be patiently waiting for something to happen#it's because of the psychotic bipolar making time go past me in hyper time and hours seemed like five minutes to me starting in fourth grade#literally at one point in fourth grade i got sick of time flying for a few weeks that during quiet reading time i just burst out asking#'is time going by really fast for anyone else this year?' no one had any fucking clue what i was talking about lmafo#having a very overactive imagination helped too because even if i was bored while being patient i could entertain myself in my head#i would and still do craft elaborate stories in my head that i have no hope in writing down skilfully#so I'm not very often bored even as an adult#but goddamn am i incredibly less patient now that I'm on an antipsycotic now lol rip#time slowed down and now i have to experience instead of blinking it away#which ngl did ease up my anxiety over dying some day because I'm no longer in a maglev heading towards mortality in a few hours#but i am ridiculously impatient now after spending two thirds of my life experiencing hypertime#trade offs

one thing i think is very funny about ludinus's whole "arcane is superior to the divine" thing is like. does he know that arcane magic was also given to mortals from the gods. like yeah, it's something learned now(by wizards atleast. im looking at you, sorcerers and warlocks that ludinus seems to have no issue with despite it being Very contradictory), but without the gods he wouldn't have had access to it either. actually, i don't think anyone knows what, if any, effect getting rid of the gods could have on arcane magic and i don't think he's even considered possibility. mortals were taught to make magic by the gods, but there is absolutely a chance that there's a way to block mortals off from that power and i don't think the gods would ever go down without a fight.
#critical role#ludinus da'leth#like his treatment of arcane magic is not unlike devotion to the divine 🤔#(also even more so him working with predathos which. even if its not Technically divinity he's still doing its bidding so like.)#but yeah i was rewatching the history of exandria video and it made me have some thoughts#i will shit on ludinus's plans at any given opportunity btw.#like maybe the gods have absolutely nothing to do with arcane magic now that they gave it to mortals#but its very much something to consider.#there's no way predathos eats them all at once so there's gotta be time for the gods to do Something to it#and if not the prime deities then like. the betrayer gods would not take kindly to all this.

Githzerai anon:
Another Issal Voice Submission. When it comes to her sudden outbursts, I wanted to slightly lean into the Dr jekyll and Mr. Hyde aspect, but the actual dynamic, not the misconception.
The angle of Hyde just being a disguise Jekyll uses to do anything and everything he wants, rather than a complete alternate personality whose actions are divided from him.
I wanted Issal's "otherside" to be a mixture of her own rage, trauma, and Lolth's muddling of her brain. It's just that you don't know the measurements of the mixture.
It is just Issal's compounding mental issues coming to a head, and Lolth is just being the small push that allows her to let go.
Or
Is Lolth pulling on the threads of Issal's psyche so hard that the majority of her emotions have nowhere to go. As a result, her mind forces her into this fugue state as an attempt to protect itself from destruction with unforseen consequences.
Either way, Lolth is enjoying it
#♡Githzerai anon#submission#♡Issal#♡OthersOCs#♡anonstavs#Woo I am such a huge fan of the Jekyll and Hyde tale i will eat up any anything microdosed with it#it's such a cool concept really#also Lolth would do anying for her amusement and chaos#she might even split Issal's psyche if she saw fit for shits and giggles#she is like so involved with mortals and does petty things 24/7#most active out of all the gods which is why the “silence of Lolth” age was such a big deal

if there is one thing i will never recover from with crestoria's crossover being gone for good, it's that we'll never ever know the story behind transgressor yuri.
if there are two things i will never recover from with crestoria's crossover being gone for good, it's that leon and aegis' loyal friendship will never ever return.
#GTF Crestoria Things#it is rare for leon to be on that kind of respect level with someone let alone risk his own reputation as a traitor to let someone escape#by which i mean in destiny he only ever rly did that for stahn bc stahn was the ONLY person screaming over leon's suffering#and BEGGING him to talk to him and not take on everything alone#so i'd be hard pressed to say he truly made that last second decision for any other reason#other than stahn getting through to him bc if stahn hadn't said anything nobody else was all that worried abt doing so#for him to do that for aegis even in a setting where he wasn't going to be in mortal peril#still risked him becoming a transgressor if anyone had had time to record that#i.e. local dude helps local sinned traitor escape and is by association also a sinner#and that may have affected the ease of his search in restoring stahn to human form#which stahn prob would not have minded but it would still increase the difficulty for leon's search all the same#with yuri forget it im going to be permanently S T R E S S E D that we will never know that story#and i don't think they'd play into the possessed-not-really-yuri thing again after doing it in asteria#and in rays it was only a cameo thing. i fully believe that was actual yuri bc it would fit into his canon-mixed-with-crestoria#so unless the devs for some reason decide to tell us what their plans were for yuri we will never know#and it's been too long now since cresty went down like do i have to write this shit myself#they robbed me of transgressor yuri meeting vicious too woe is me cresty team#im still so desperate for them to turn crestoria back on like pls it's not just my crops anymore it's me too im also dead#i know they won't turn it back on and heck all the data for it is probably long since byebye BUT#even if i enjoy the manga it's not the same without the crossover#i would kill for them to give us that game back it was my fave gacha ever ;;#i say that with the full bias of the fact that i obliterated everything with default leon and completely maxed him in every aspect#but also just the fact that i want cresty's crossover back s o f u c k i n g b a d
