Stubbornness.

can we get a katelyn mackenzie who isn't just there as a plot device or an addition to aaron's character. can we get a katelyn mackenzie who isn't just there for good advice and comfort, can we get a katelyn who doesn't just calm people down and always have a plan and she gets angry when she's lied to or ignored and she argues back and she doesn't always know what to do or how to help and she loves aaron but she also knows what she's worth and she won't settle for less than that. i know she's not much in canon but we have the power of fanfiction we can make her so much more. let her speak. let her be a character. let her play a role that isn't just the girlfriend of the side character or the pissy ex or the fridged love interest. let her not forgive and not be perfect and let her fight back and let her be angry and let her not always fix aaron's problems for him What i'm saying is katelyn mackenzie deserves better

THE ONE WHO REQUESTED THE SENSITIVE S/O WITH GUN‼️‼️

now i wonder how he would deal with his s/o if they were mad at him? Like they were offended at smth he said “accidentally” and they basically either throw punches at him or ignore him for a month or so?

I can't imagine not speaking to your partner for a month for anything small! So...

Gun Park x Reader: For you

G/N.

Gun thinks you must be a saint to put up with him.

Or maybe you're just as hellish as he is. There must be something a bit off with you to be with him, to see him for who he is and still stay. Shiro Oni and all.

Either way, he knows that he doesn't come across someone like you easily. Who can also hold his attention and make him feel his humanity for the first time in perhaps, ever.

(No, Gun makes up his mind. He is sure that there will never be another like you.)

He doesn't apologise, has never apologised. And it's not a habit he's about to pick up now. Yet the fact that you have been ignoring him for close to a month hurts him. Hurts him in a way no bruise or broken bone or physical wound ever has.

The type of ache that starts in his chest, reaching down to the pit of his stomach, and up to the darkest recesses of his mind.

Gun thinks about life without you, and rationally he knows he will be fine. He has survived most of his life on his own and will be able to survive the rest of his life on his own too. But now that he has you by his side, he doesn't want to think about the empty space you would leave behind.

Like getting the first taste of excitement, the adrenaline and high of a fight, and then never being able to find it again no matter how hard he searched.

The void remains, and cruelly, he would know exactly what was missing.

It started with a flippant comment.

You told him to be more careful as you patched up a cut and Gun didn’t respond, not at first. Because for him, dying in a fight, by someone else's hand, would be the ultimate thrill. Would mean that he has finally found, after long last, someone that has surpassed him. Found what he had been looking for all his life.

It escalated from there.

Being with someone like Gun Park means taking the good with the bad. The dangers and the risks.

You didn't know that when you first met, but you knew that by the first date. You knew that when you accepted to be his partner, when you told him you love him and when you moved in together.

In hindsight, he knows that it's the bare minimum he can offer. Even if he doesn't keep to his word, he can at least offer you that peace of mind. However, he always keeps to his word. Slippery lies and deception is not his style. A method his blonde partner prefers, whereas Gun has been more or less forthright.

He is again, tonight. It comes out more sentimental than he would have liked, but it is nothing if not the truth.

It's a simple text.

"For you, I'll try to be more careful."

He hopes that you'll be able to read between the lines and see what the 'for you' really means.

For you, he will walk to the ends of the earth and more. He doesn’t want you to test his limits because he is not sure there even is a limit.

Three dots appear and Gun observes it with more focus than he ever has with anything in his life.

The seconds stretches.

You respond and he smiles, doesn't think about how soft it is, the hold you have over him.

And the relief floods his body.

I have my first real practice exam in less than ten hours and i just know i probably won't get a passing score

I've been going through the massive DATV text file (the excel sheet one of ALL the text, and it's really interesting noticing entire quests that have been cut.

I'm sure when people finally get around to hearing about some of these cut scenes or beats (I'm thinking of the three I noticed relating to the Wardens and one scene with Lucanis and—from what I can tell, I might be wrong—had the Viper in it that had a totally different ending for Lucanis's questline), they'll be really bitter and annoyed about it because they're interesting scenes, but I personally am seeing some of those scenes and going, "Super interesting! But I can see exactly why they cut it, and I'm actually REALLY glad they did because it does not fit that well tonally or thematically with the rest of the storylines and the overall core theme. It works well in isolation and is compelling on its own out of context of the larger narrative, but when considered as part of the whole, it feels like it goes against the thematic heart of the story and what it's all together actually about, thus unfortunately does not serve the overall narrative that well. So, yeah, I agree with cutting or rewriting that."

But, then, I lament already people not being able to think about it that way.

i'm sorry but saying how much you hate people not wanting to vote for biden anymore isn't gonna make them want to vote for biden. in fact the thing that will get me to vote for biden would be him doing things ro earn my vote. you know the way that voting works and all

incidentally biden would be much more likely to get my vote if he stopped directly aiding and abetting a fucking genocide but like whatever i guess

This might be a very unpopular opinion but can we please allow drivers to be messy again? I like the friendships just as much as anyone but come on, you are lying if you say you weren't entertained by brocedes antics or Multi 21. Like I'm a big Ferrari fan and I love and support both Charles and Carlos but I eat it up every time they get spicy with each other on track. Did Monza stress me the fuck out? Absolutely but god I FUCKING LOVE that they went for it!!

They are racing drivers! Let them race and throw tantrums! Let them be bitchy on team radio! Let them demand a team order and let them also ignore a team order! Let them throw shade in interviews! Half the appeal of Carcar is the bitchiness of it all, its compelling and fun to follow!

Its just...sometimes this whole "we are one big happy racing family" feels so fake and PR, I think the sport would benefit even more from drivers being strong characters again. Fernando Alonso is probably the shadiest, most messy person alive and he still has adoring fans so it clearly works.

Ofc, for this to work the fans would need to have the emotional maturity to understand that this is how sports rivalries works and that to a certain level everyone is constantly competing with everyone and maybe thats where it all falls apart...

I haven't seen this take a WHOLE lot, but I have seen it enough to get. Frustrated. About it.

So for anyone who doesn't get it: no, symptoms of mental illness are not, in every case, majorly or solely the result of Dealing With Capitalism. Sometimes, they can be! Sometimes the symptoms are situational, and those situations are heavily related to how much capitalism sucks! But many times they are not. I am sorry, but mental illness and trauma and neurodivergence are still going to exist even if capitalism completely goes away. We still have a responsibility to treat the people affected by and experiencing these things with compassion and understanding. We still have to. You know. Acknowledge that their life experience is going to be a lot different than many other's is.

Absolutely adore ur watcher rt! Been wondering how he would interact with people whove been on evo (if it happened). Or how people like grian would think abt how he acts. On one hand can you blame a guy whos never been mortal? On the other hand would they even know and if they know would they be able to accept it?

I just find it so fun to imagine how rt would react to their reactions and how he interacts with other watchers and related people!

Oh so this is a kind of interesting topic that is kind of actually relevant to the story I've got planned for him.

To keep things as spoiler free as possible, I'll simply say that uhhhh Grian and other relevant (ie. Empires or Hermitcraft linked) Evo members certainly would not like him by the end of the main story arc I have planned out. and that while RT is one of the few watchers who actually doesn't have any real problem with Grian as like. A defector. He certainly may have some more personal issues with him by the end of the same story arc.

I kind of like the idea of him and Grian begrudgingly ending up on the same team at some point though later down the line once RT has had some more character development (think the thing I was talking about in the last post about him butting heads with the higher ups) and realizing they're more similar than they may have thought even if they have different conceptualizations of the world.

you mentioned the council with kelan-- what are dragon politics like?

I havent really thought super hard about it lksdfsdlkfjsdf i am not super interested in politics so I won't be developing them further than surface level stuff.

The Khevirian Choir is a group of about 20 or so dragons, each of which represent a family, clan, or group of population in the sector.

These dragons are usually older, experienced, and wise. Traditionally, they would be the best warriors from each family/group. They are chosen by their respective groups to represent them. Since the Choir is a war council that is what they specialize in.

Among them would be the Monarch, which is chosen by the Choir to represent them and their decisions, and take the lead. Kairos, Kelan's father, was this monarch for many years before he passed away, and gained the respect of the rest of the dragons in there. With his passing though, it left a notable vacancy in the decision-making, so now the Choir is left arguing about who among them will be the next Monarch, with some saying that it should be one of them (and no one can agree on who), and some holding out hope that Kelan will take up his father's mantle.

Meanwhile Kelan has zero interest in all of that, and would much rather fly and play than deal with all of that, which very clearly drives the rest of the Choir up the wall. Imagine having a teenager thats like "🖕 fuck you mom im not going to school [runs away to go hang out on the train tracks with the rest of the punk kids]" but the mom in question is 20 grizzled war veterans having to play nanny for their dead sergeants idiot son.
