If Sarah provided this information for a reason, I don't think it's because it's going to an Azriel plot:
When we look at Sarah's writing, information introduced typically goes in a direction we weren't expecting:
"Stay with the High Lord" wasn't about Tamlin.
The Starsword belonging to Theia's female heir only lasted for a short while before Theia's heir left it to Nesta.
The bloodline ending with Ruhn did not foreshadow his death as expected.
Az has nothing to do with the Autumn Court. He has nothing to with Jurian and Vassa. He has nothing to do with the Spring Court. All things Rhys mentioned as a concern in the bonus.
You know who does though? Both Eris and Lucien.
I definitely think Eris is a good guy deep down but I think it's possible that Sarah will continue giving him a bit of the Jurian or Loki treatment, where he'll appear to be working against them, possibly looking as if he's betraying them.
Eris went to the human lands to "spy" on Jurian and Vassa:
Eris’s face filled with cool amusement. “I wanted to feel out Vassa and Jurian.”
He was the one who arranged the meeting in Spring and was present when Tamlin arrived:
Cassian growled, opening his mouth, but halted. Eris went still as well. Nesta felt it a heartbeat later. The presence creeping toward them on soft paws. Cassian shoved her behind him just as a golden-furred beast with curling horns leaped from behind the brambles, landing in the forest clearing.
Not to mention he knows of Tamlin's current state and how he's abandoned his people, that his father might have an interest in taking over Springs lands.
And he's the one still doing his father's bidding though we know he wants to take Beron out.
The "betrayer of the NC" theories are making the rounds again, whether because of an interview where some say Sarah confirmed this information (I've yet to see the interview) or because of what Briallyn said to Nesta:
“There are others in your court as delusional as you are. They’ll get it for me one way or another, with the right incentive.
So what if the betrayal will look like it's coming from Eris? A promise to kill Beron would be the right incentive for him.
And we were given this line to show Eris as a part of the NC's lineup:
Starting with Keir, at the head of the gathered crowd. Ending with Eris, standing proud and tall—wearing Night Court black—beside him.
That wording adds Eris into the "There are others in this court" lineup in a similar way that Sarah stretching the Suriels hint of staying with the High Lord did, it's like he was a honorary part of the NC, embracing Night Court black.
He's also showing frustration / jealousy in SF:
She kept her gaze on Eris, who went rigid, rippling with rage. “I do not appreciate being toyed with, Nesta Archeron. My offer was sincere. Stay with the Night Court and you risk your ruin.”
And then there was the way Eris had spoken about the other courts. Something had been off in his words, his tight expression. Was the male jealous?
And Eris's betrayal could include invoking the Blood Duel against Lucien at Berons request:
To help them remember that all it might take to secure Briallyn’s alliance would be to hand over a certain Archeron sister. Don’t be stupid enough to believe my father hasn’t thought of that, too.”
If they knew Elain was Lucien’s mate … It was now another avenue, I realized with no small amount of horror. Another way to strike at the youngest brother they hated so fiercely, so unreasonably. Eris’s bargain with us had not included protection of Lucien.
Nesta barely glanced to Eris, who pulled his assessing gaze from Elain
Of course I don't think Eris and Lucien would fight to the death and I think Eris will be getting a true redemption arc but I could see that setup being a way to kick off the Elucien book, tying Eris, Lucien, Beron, and Elain together in a plot related way so that they can finally deal with Beron once and for all.

saw your hc about how long itd take for Vlad and Danny to openly date. a detail occurred to me: how do you headcanon them explaining anything? besides the age gap, their biggest commonality has to do with both of them being half-ghosts, and even danny's mega-haunted hometown only stopped calling the fenton family delusional once the ghost attacks reached a certain, televised point
Explaining, like, to the public? Oh, I don't think they'd have a problem with that. By this point in his high-profile career, Vlad would have probably taken a page from the British Royal Family and adopted the motto of "never complain, never explain" in response to anything scandalous. And one of the richest men in the world suddenly not hiding the fact that he's
gay, and
dating a teenager
would certainly be a scandal, no matter how you look at it. But Vlad would have his PR guys all over this. He'd probably even pay the paps to leave him alone, or at least take only the best photos of him and Danny—enjoying quiet time on his private island, attending charity balls, going incognito overseas, always smiling, always smitten with each other—endearing him to the general public. He'd probably do the same with the news media, telling them exactly what to print and say while outwardly maintaining an appearance of complete indifference. Any non-compliant media outlet would be accused of trying to unfairly vilify them, and if public scorn doesn't get them singing a sweeter tune, Vlad's lawyers certainly will.
Oh, I expect after the initial sensation has cooled—after all, how many powerful celebrity men have dated, married, and had children with women young enough to be their granddaughters? This is not a new phenomenon—Vlad would "agree" to an exclusive interview, and he and Danny would sit down with a five-star journalist, hands clasped (a united front; optics are very important), and paint whatever charming backstory they like.
"Mr. Masters is so brave," and "So that's why he was single for all these years," would reverberate through the court of public opinion. People who once hated Vlad would change their minds. "That Fenton boy is a good influence on him. He's so mature for his age. Vlad needed a nice down-to-earth partner. I wonder if they're going to get married?"
Vlad and Danny would have to be on their best behavior for a while, but once the excitement fades—and it always does, especially if they don't feed it—then they could continue on with their lives as normal.
Well, as normal as two ghost hybrids in love can be.
#asks#pompous pep#vlad masters#coming out#meta#headcanons#i realize now i didn't touch on any ghost stuff but#if the world was aware they were both half ghosts then i think it might go even better for them#superheroes and sweethearts#what could be more american?#gay ghost william and kate#as long as they keep their dirty laundry out of public view they're going to be adored

I hope your partner breaks up with you. Because how can you say those things leading on Mel then blame THEM for it. WTF man, I sided with you.
I have no clue who you are, but the stuff Mels saying about me "leading her on" is completely untrue and was not what was happening. My entire relationship/friendship with her I was used as a rebound, second option, and generally just used period for whatever she needed/desired from someone any time she wanted it. Whether that be a rebound to act affectionate to after a breakup, or someone to vent about her sexual frustrations to. This mixed with rampant mental illness and nearly 3-4 years of having on and off crushes on her (where she'd give ME the whole "Im just not ready to date yet" talk leading ME on) all combined into a toxic idolization of her that caused me to be lowkey DELUSIONAL about my feelings for her and constantly walking on eggshells as not to upset her and make her distance from me As shown in her OWN screenshots you can see me sending vents that say stuff such as "I'm sorry you both love me that's so fucked up", that is NOT the only one of that type, at the time I had felt absolutely horrible for having feelings for the both of them, I'd been open about my feelings to BOTH Clover and Mel, expressing my distress at the situation as I'd felt torn to pick between the two and was a mess as a result of that. I was NOT happy about having the feelings I did and was aware it wasn't ending well for anyone either way, I felt stuck and obligated to appease the both of them at the same time so I didn't end up taking ANY courses of action in any direction and ended up becoming Aromantic as a result of all of this. I'm aware I should've ended things earlier than I did with all of those feelings, but I was open about these things with Clover and NEVER acted upon the feelings outside of having a conversation or two with Mel about said feelings. I'd like to note that in the stream, according to a couple of people she had mentioned off handedly I was high in those screenshots, which was why I was typing/speaking so oddly, this was around when I had been overusing/practically addicted to edibles, using them everyday. I was extremely mentally unwell and generally wanted to cut my life short because of everything going on around that time. This is not me trying to garner pity, or excuse any bad things I MAY have done within that time span but its an explanation. All of that to say, I was not in the correct mental state to be having a concise conversation about my feelings for Mel, and was not in the right mental to be wording things correctly. Some of you may think "well why didn't you correct you wording later on?" well, I wasn't lying to her when I'd said those things and talked about all of that with her, I just definitely should've worded things more carefully for both her and Clovers sake ,and honestly I didn't even remember this conversation until she brought it up :/ Its crazy she's trying to do all of this as if I hadn't JUST turned 17 when this was going on, AND was on substances which she was ALREADY aware of. Im just bewildered honestly Additionally, I went back in the conversation and she very kindly and conveniently left out these parts of the conversation where she literally goes "I know you're not leading me on" n shit. aswell as the fact the conversation literally began because she was complaining about being horny.
I am ABSOLUTELY not saying that someone cant have something done to them just because they say so, because that is dumb and untrue for many reasons. BUT, this is here to kind of point out the fact that she's spinning what was actually going on in some desperate attempt to paint me as the secret evil guy, or trying to distract from her own wrongdoings by giving ya'll something else to look at.
Either way, 2023 and early 2024 were really fucking rough times for me, I almost did not live through it and am so grateful for the ones that did end up staying despite my bad moments and helped shape me into becoming a better person. I definitely understand how this could come off as me leading her on and dissing Clover but I promise you that is not what my intent was, I was just expressing my feelings in the only way I knew how at the time and I'm sorry it wasn't in the Ideal/correct way </3 I'm doing alot better now and have been on a long break from any sort of dating/romance to shape myself into becoming someone that can love someone the right way that they deserve in the future. I've been making a huge effort to become better so I only ask that ya'll will stick around to see the better me I'm working hard to become </33 And again just to state, If Mel ever wants to sort these resentments/feelings out like adults, I've never had her blocked on discord and plan to keep it like that. This "callout" of hers isn't something illegal, it isn't something morally TERRIBLE, it isn't being sexual around minors, or ANYTHING CLOSE to being worthy of her airing my business out to her 100k or so subscribers LIVE, unlike my callout this is literally just her airing my stuff out, out of desperation and spite. Sorry this post is scattered, I'm just honestly unsure how to reply/explain everything without completely airing out my personal business and feelings

Wouldn’t it be just horrifying for the guardians of the Silent Realm in Skyward Sword to be corrupted by either malice or gloom from BotW/TotK and thus looking essentially like the blights that killed the champions?
And wouldn’t it be so fun to make Sky and Wild have to face that horrible combination of what’s probably somewhere in the top five of their worst nightmares?
Just imagine it, the Silent Realm bleeding through into the regular realm on Skyloft. The color slowly draining away into that haunting bluish-grey of the Silent Realm. Eerie bells ringing in the air. Gloom seeping onto the floor, because the Silent Realm has been corrupted, and it’s no longer a place Hylia has any control over.
The guardians of the Silent Realm with gloom covered weapons, eyes dripping gloom from them, and bodies becoming more and more coated in gloom as the guardians flicker in and out of view near the Light Tower on Skyloft.
And then the guardians awaken. You know, the guardians that have never been fought before and therefore have no known method of defeating them?
Yeah :)
#as if the botw guardians getting corrupted and killing wild weren’t enough#now wild has to deal with ss guardians getting corrupted#let’s hope he doesn’t die this time#the silent realms are fucking terrifying you guys#my heart races each time im playing through one#sky absolutely has nightmares about the silent realm#legend of zelda#linked universe#lu wild#lu sky#has anyone else noticed how the shape of ss guardians looks eerily similar to the different ganon blights in botw#because i noticed it#i mean tell me if im delusional but#splash a little gloom or malice onto a ss guardian and you’ve got a mini blight#like this idea? go read my fic on ao3#it’s called numinous#and im putting this horrifying thing in chapter ten#you can find me on ao3 under the name mx_nymph#if you really want to go read something that includes this concept

fun little jayvik tidbits from (pre-retcon) league lore for arcane-onlys!
jayce always viewed viktor with rose-tinted glasses. that isn't an arcane-only change they made.
jayce's account of them working together in their academy days:
vs viktor's account:
even in their divorce era, jayce still saw viktor with emotions that he has long since discarded.
jayce's account from the fight:
vs viktor's account:
and finally, in the aftermath:
jayce's account:
and viktor's:
viktor truly won the idgaf wars when it came to jayce in league canon
#its so funny to me how jayce was like “thats the one guy who could stand me” and you cut to viktor and he's like “he's fucking insufferable”#jayce giopara may be gone now but he will never be forgotten by me#he was an insufferable asshat but i still love him dearly#anyways dont let anyone (read: linke) tell yall you're just delusional about jayvik bc the signs were always there#arcane just amplified it by a thousand and actually made them close in their academy days#and made jayce talis an absolute sweetheart in comparison to jayce giopara#jayvik#arcane#jayce talis#or more accurately#jayce giopara#viktor arcane#viktor league of legends#league of legends#jayce talis would fucking HATE jayce giopara#im of the opinion that s2 jayce talis would bring down the hammer on jayce giopara with no hesitation#bc giopara will say one wrong thing to arcane viktor and talis will just go “ok thats enough out of you. begone”#sef rambles

Guys help, I’m having a fight with a delusional Boscha stand but my mind is too tired and focused on a certain musical that I can’t think properly, give me arguments!
Also this is some of the stuff she says about Boscha:
‘She apoligized to her (refering to Amity of all people 😒) and the others in the end’
‘She apologized and evolved and also suffered because of her actions that she did because of the motives that she was exposed to, …’
‘…, just stop making excuses for hating her’
She didn't.
She literally didn't do any of that.
That person is just making things up because they project onto the one dimensional mean character who blames others for their own actions (I wonder why), and thus have to pretend she's a victim.
And they don't actually care about the characters their self insert actually hurt like Willow the fat girl, Luz the brown girl, they only care about the skinny white girl.
So just like Bosha fr. Hell half of the time when they describe her they're just describing a completely different character (usually Willow, Amity, or even Hunter)
#“dazed dont you think you're making assumptions?”#i have literally seen people who make these excuses say they do so because they're just like bosha#as if thats a good thing#idk why you guys even get into these arguments#i only do because terminally online mfs come to ME to start shit#there was this one time where i had a comic that involved bosha bullying luz#and one of her delusional stan got mad at me for 'mischaraterizing' her???#mf when someone portrays the one dimensional mean girl as a one dimensional mean girl#asks

ok maybe klance is boring cause it’s everywhere and maybe they don’t share too many scenes together so but I don’t really give a shit! look at them! they’re so…klance. i say there’s another few months give or take before my interest in them finally burns out and it stays dormant for like two years before I pick it up again and i go feral over the two because they’re KLANCE
#I’m talking to myself#shipping wars but it’s just me vs me and were not really fighting over which one is bettter but more so fighting over how much a ship makes#sense#sure ships don’t even need to make sense for one to like it but I’ve been frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of klance because of#what I think they were to each other#it’s hard to enjoy the ship when your brain is constantly calling you delusional#I gotta rewatch voltron dude#voltron#voltron legendary defender#vld#vld lance#vld keith#lance mcclain#keith kogane#klance#laith#heh these tags make me seem like a klance hater#I’m not I promise#the only reason why I’m questioning klance because I read too much about people’s hatred for it#ok I retract what I said#people who say klance has no chemistry are just. sigh.#I can admit that nothing really happened in the later season BUT IT WAS THERE#in the start#and what was there had so much potential#no confirmed sexualities either!!! yay!!!#maybe I’ll have fun in gaybofunland idk away from all this internal misery#but anyways#aloe vera does it again guys#she did the word vomit thing again#but just in the tags this time

Oh I was just haunted by jmah!Dream’s deteriorating mental state
:C my BOYYY
and it's awful, too, because it's not like Dream is in a particularly good state of mind when the prison starts in the first place. and he's in here because he's terrified (and he's in here as punishment) and he's in here because even though Sam hates him--and he's ensured that Sam hates him, and he's planning to do more to make sure of that fact as well (in canon, c!Dream is talking to c!Sam 'all about exile' in those first few days)--Sam will do his job. he trusts him to do his job. he knows Sam, the man that he's worked with for the last month on this project, on making sure this prison is as secure as it can possibly be, one of the final few people to work with him before the events of the green festival, doomsday, staged finale etc. made sure he'd stand alone, just where he was supposed to. this is a Dream that's already been swimming in the lava before Sam travels back in time.
unlike Sam's betrayal in canon, there's nothing slow about what happens in JMAH. there's no ability for him to cope and go yeah, Sam's being kind of serious, but it's no big deal, yeah, this place kind of sucks, but it's survivable, yeah, there's some mistreatment, but I expected that. in an instant, Sam goes from a predictable cog in the machine meant to keep him alive into a stranger hellbent on torturing the fuck out of him, and he has no idea why. Sam is nowhere near as straightforward as Quackity in explaining what the hell he wants out of Dream--he asks for the book, sure, but also for information, also for complete obedience, also for explanations for things he shouldn't know and punishments for things he never did. there is no promise that the revive book will end anything, for this Dream, and no one to give him anything at all but the Warden.
just ,, the lengths to which this Sam is willing to go, the intensity of his obsession, the way he'd be left reeling with no choice other than to endure and wonder why breaks my heart. Dream has no fucking clue to what end this is all for, and i think he struggles a lot with that. worse than just the torture, perhaps, is the familiarity, the sparks of something that is almost fondness, the satisfaction in Sam's voice when he's gotten something and Dream isn't even sure what he's just given away--and maybe it'd be easier to understand if what Sam wanted from him were any more straightforward, if the desire could pan out as something as simple as sadistic pleasure at hurting him or deriving some kind of gratification from making him submit or wanting power or to eliminate a threat or anything, but all that is clear is that Sam wants something from him and will stop at nothing to get it.
c!Dream and identity is already a finicky thing as well as his whole complex about himself and evil--c!Dream thinks he's a person that does evil things to achieve good ends, but he struggles pretty heavily, honestly, with himself-as-evil and being viewed as evil-and-just-evil and actually being the tyrant-villain-monster-snake-that-just-bites, etc, which means that there is a level of vulnerability here when it comes to how he sees himself and builds his identity and the constant, relentless onslaught of . pain and torture combined with Sam justifying it all by Who He Is Innately and monologuing about how he deserves it all, because c!Dream isn't a person that doesn't think that punishment as a concept is wrong and doesn't necessarily disagree that he's evil either. and again. torture self harm box of mental illness. and part of the problem with a Sam that's fresh from Daedalus and then thrust into kind of the worst possible position of reflecting on those conversations by being in a place where he's able to fall hard on old habits to copium his way out of dealing with anything he personally might have done (because obviously he can just Fix It Now) while also having the additional cope of i-am-godsent-to-make-everything-better BY keeping dream in a box, you kind of get a situation where both Dream and Sam are psychologically in pretty vulnerable places and then you're taking a torture machine hammer to those stress points. so it's fun.
i have no clue if that last paragraph made any kind of sense btw.
but ... yeah. even for any character in any kind of state the insane torture contraption of torture efficiency would be. erm. extremely damaging to one's mental health, to say the least. the only good thing for dream i guess is that sam still has his head too far up his own ass to actually git gud at conditioning anyone deliberately and is therefore still largely skating by By Accident, because otherwise his head would've been even more blendered than it already gets.
#just me and him au#my asks !!#of course his head already sucks ass so#i think re: the prison arc c!Dream had a lot of vulnerabilities that i don't think he or sam or quackity or whatever like. recognized#because in general people's perception of c!dream didn't tend to match up very well with who the guy actually was#for reasons including his own complete lack of self awareness and how deeply delusional people tended to be about him always#but that being said. like. i think it's important to remember that for all that daedalus gives us insight on what c!dream sees#as like. good and evil#he's still very sure of his being evil. and visibly struggles with that later in the finale and snake speech#being sure of his actions and the ends justifying the means by no means translates into confidence in his own identity#c!dream tends to be sure of what he has to do. who he is? not so much#(versus c!sam's DELUSIONAL ASS confidence in Who He Is and Who Dream Is and how that informs EVERYTHINGGGG)#c!dream is who he needs to be and in the right circumstances that means you can make him who you need him to be#i think that sam and dream's issues can be in certain situations much more compatible than people realize sometimes#and it's in those situations where you get the worst kind of feedback loops for both characters.for sure
