Realistically speaking, I don't think black coffee would kill Harrow. She drinks wine more than once, and I think it's even specified once that it's red; the more tannin rich and strongly flavored of the wines. Evidence suggests that, while she would in no way enjoy it, she could theoretically survive a cup of black coffee.
Therefore the question becomes: Would she? What would she do if she had to choose between keeping her tastebuds or impressing a hot barista? Could lean taut muscle dewy with sweat and steam compel her to do what God could not—finish a hot beverage?
#oh god she watching. she wants to see if you like the coffee she made you. come on. you can't disappont her#Endurance check [godly]: Drink the coffee. just drink it. it will be over soon.#there's nust something v charming to me about imagining Harrow steeling herself and forcing down the coffee bc she wants to impress Gideon#it's her only option#shes too socially awkward to know how to say she was wrong about her preferences without insulting her and she knows it#the locked tomb#harrow the ninth#baristar au#tlt coffee shop au

Periodically think about these descriptions of Bane from 3e Faiths and Pantheons that feel distinctly like elements of Gortash's look in the game. I have to imagine that this is intentional, but it does make it stand out that Bane's avatar is a young man. It feels like an aspect of self-styling that's endured from a much younger age and is reaching its limit, becoming more and more worn out... there's something a little pathetic about that feeling of clinging, isn't there? Evoking the image of this boy-god at such an age? I said the mid life crisis thing last week as a joke, but ahaha, perhaps it's really not. The gap between an aging human with limited time and pristine, unchanging divinity... I find it interesting. Obviously you have two older men in the canon Chosen, but Ketheric unquestionably wears his age with the dignity of a proud patriarch. He dresses as himself, not in the image of a youthful avatar. Perhaps I simply like the contrast evoked by reading this as a form of insecurity or a symbol of power once-potent wearing ever thinner as it reaches its limits.
#I hope I never make another post that's just about that guy ever again. my brain is possessed by a vile curse#I can't believe I'm making a post that's just like 'yeah the slutty v neck and guy fieri shirt are like totally religiously significant'#my spirit endures such indignities#I think about the ages of the Chosen a lot for some reason. shoutout to my friend who got the Orin essay#time for me to fucking sleep#I'm going to overcome my fears of potentially being perceived and tag these things properly. bravely. for organization and blacklist.#bg3#enver gortash#so sayeth emi

WAIT HOLD UP
When talking about Mei being like Monkey King. There was a really strong parallel in season 3!
It was kinda mentioned already? But I don‘t just mean thematically, in the execution too! The scene Wukong was willing to kill the host child and Mei was willing to burn him, because they felt they had no other choice.
(I think she even mentioned that this is what Monkey King would do. What a hero would do.)
They both even had that small confrontation of "Are you really willing to sacrifice a child/friend?". And both make the tough call that this is something they HAVE to do. Maybe with some guilt, yes, but always without question.
GOD YOU'RE SO RIGHT ANON.
Lady Bone Demon: "Stop! Have you forgotten? Destroy me and you destroy the host. Have you become so desperate to end me that you would sacrifice this blameless, innocent, child?"
Sun Wukong: "You're giving me no choice! All the time you spent locked away and you haven't changed a bit! I'm going to finish you, like I should have done a long time ago! I told you—you should have stayed buried."
(3x11 This Imperfect World) (Always manifesting this scene for eamk)
-
Lady Bone Demon: "*laughs* You think whatever happens to Wukong is of concern to me? He is a vessel—nothing more. You would really destroy your own friends to save yourself?"
Red Son Voice Over: "Harmonize the wild energies and emotions burning within us and focus them!"
Mei: "Wukong knew the risks, it's what he would do if he had to. That's the hard part of being a hero!"
(3x12 The Corrupted King) (Omg hi hand motif! Hi!!!!)
-
Bonus Secret 3rd Parallel:
MK: "I'm not gonna let you win!" Lady Bone Demon: "In your thirst to destroy me you used all your powers!" MK: "Not all of them."
(2x10 This is the End!)
-
Some extra thoughts under the cut!
What interests me the most about this parallel is the fact that Mei would totally sacrifice Wukong and Wukong would totally sacrifice that little girl—it's a simply trolley problem for them—but if that person were MK?
I don't think either of them could do it.
Here's where I get into more speculative territory, because personally I think Wukong killed Macaque, and I'm also a believer in EAMK, so I'm going to be plastering a lot of red string!
SO. Would Wukong willingly sacrifice someone who meant so much to him?
You could argue he already did so with Macaque—I think that's what they're setting up anyways. I think Macaque's death is going to fall into place with our continuing "do you sacrifice one person for the many" conflict we have going on here, one that was definitely built upon in 4x13:
Yellowtusk: "I know full well what would happen should Azure fail but- but he is my brother. I owe him my life!" Sandy: "We get it! I'd do anything to help my friends! But at the cost of the world?" Pigsy: "I'm sorry pal, but NOTHIN' is worth that price!"
(4x13 Rip and Tear)
-
So it seems clear: You sacrifice the one person for the sake of the world.
I think looking at this conflict and using it as a lens to look at Samadhi Fire Mei brings up some interesting points. If Wukong's had pulled off his plan without Macaque or Ne Zha's interference, and then hadn't been able to safely extract the Samadhi Fire from Mei...would Wukong have sacrificed her?
Everyone in 3x10 was willing to sacrifice Mei in a way, to leave her—except MK. MK refused to abandon her, risking himself and the world if he wasn't successful and the Samadhi Fire continued to burn out of control. But in this situation...choosing one person over the world was the right choice.
((Just wanted to point out that both Wukong and Mei are very willing to sacrifice each other which fascinates me. Moving on!))
Wukong himself isn't won't make that sacrifice if he feels there's another option: "You're giving me no choice!" (which I think echoes Mei's "We don't have a choice!" from 3x02)
All of this is a long winded way for me to say that at some point MK is going on the chopping block, either next season or beyond. It's going to be either him or the world, or at least it's going to seem that way, and our protags are going to have to make a very hard choice (omg hi "They will destroy you, harbinger of chaos!").
BUT, BRINGING THIS BACK AROUND TO EAMK.
Wukong won't destroy the one life if he feels he has a choice. This is where baby MK steps in: "all the time [he] spent locked away", and he changed EXTREMELY. To the point where he's basically not the thing that was sealed away in the stone, and very much just a "blameless, innocent, child"—meaning Wukong had a choice.
SO. Basically it's my hope that Wukong already chose MK over the world once, and him and Mei are gonna do it again.
#is there a Mei and Wukong duo name#does anyone know#I am so obsessed with these two fr fr#*sigh* everything I write about goes back to EAMK and samadhi fire part 3 asffads I'm sorry#eamk theory#samadhi fire part 3#lmk Mei#lmk SWK#lmk MK#lmk Sun Wukong#lmk#lmk LBD#lego monkie kid#monkie kid#asks#lmk parallels#Very tired hope these thoughts are coherent!#actually really losing my mind over ''they will destroy you harbinger of chaos'' and like. All of the fucking scenes I transcribed#''Destroy me and you destroy the host.'' ''Would you really destroy your own friends to save yourself?'' ''In your thirst to destroy me''#Like guys I am worried#ohhhhh the SWK V MK fight is so real I can TASTE IT#what is to give light must endure burning#to protect the ones i care about

something something the dichotomy of light and dark something something atelut stepping out into the sun in full confidence to lie at the end of arc 11 something something 11.5 ending with atelut stepping into a bedroom at night with rian something something truth of self, reversal of light good dark bad imagery, being who you are in the safety of the dark and putting on a mask when you are in the spotlight, something- something like that
#something something uhh doors?#my art#unprepared casters#uc celebration 2023#off the rails#on the rocks#tried to do a day v night thing where the sun light is like harsh and the darkness feels cozy. idk how well that comes across but i think?#it comes across some?#i did a whole thing where the day is all harsh cool tones and the night is cozy warm tones#the doors themselves are like mostly cool framing#but also imply that whats beyond it is something you have to step to. that you have to choose to go to for better or worse. be it something#to endure to get what you want or something you choose because you just want it#does that make sense? idk. scheduling this for the day. aaand post

wild having a fav now in a setting where he has a diagnosis and is not immediately vilified or presented as being in the wrong in how he handles trauma hand in hand with that diagnosis and i am in my feelings about it. compared to another eye-searingly popular series where another beloved character's writer sat down and said with her entire chest 'this man is so fucked up and unforgivable because he's an unmedicated this-haver' in what remains one of the most stunning shows of ableism i have seen from a major dev company --
#like cards on table it's a diagnosis that is v. near to my heart bc my irl bestie has it and i have seen her go through some SHIT#regarding public/therapy perception on it to say nothing of the toll it takes on her.#so me hearing adb say 'i wrote [my favorite character] explicitly with [this diagnosis] the setting just lacks the language for it.'#and still treat him as fully realized nuanced and worthy of respect and even empathy for what he endures in story...#as compared to the last fav i had w this diagnosis where... again his writer acted like it was purely his problem and he was a monster#for having been used and abused by a system. idk it's v soothing to me to land somewhere where it's like#'these characters do not have their morality centered solely on their mental health.' i am feasting good soup --#out of stories#ableism //#holds l0rg close to my chest. ilu thank u for being an actual character and not sb's tirade against mental health --

⦕☥⦖ She was making her way through the community when a familiar voice stopped her in her tracks. Emma looked over, spotting the hopefully former firefly at their gates, trying to talk his way in- and not having great luck with it. Whoever was at the gate right now- hadn't been one of them.
With quick steps, she went over and told them he was okay- that she knew him.
"Holy shit, Rio...it's been a while."

im finally in a place where i have a real & consistent urge to make my life Better. more tolerable. enjoyable
im not just enduring anymore, i want to inhabit my life & my body
there are innumerable factors building up over years that led to this point, but i think a big one is my body's sudden & steep decline. it's led me to seeking relief & having to pay close attention to what my body is doing and how it's feeling, and make conscious choices to make myself more comfortable.
anyways which led to me FINALLY actually deciding that yes. i do want to start hrt. i'm done ignoring my body and im ready to start making it a place i'm happy living in
#shout out to my bestie for helping me come to the realization that becoming Unignorably Disabled was a v important step in this journey#and also for trying to encourage me over the last like. seven years about hrt. and me going eehhhhh i dont think right now#but anyways like. its also such a weird feeling like Right Now when my fatigue knocks me on my ass for weeks at a time#is the time im like okay yeah im finally ready to build a life i Want#girl with what energy.#but u know. the good thing about hrt is it doesn't require much energy#im done enduring. im ready to start inhabiting#carter speaks#i like. lost my train of thought multiple times while writing this#bc of brain fog & distractions. but i think i got most of what i wanted to say out. & i think its coherent

shots of carter and leo i wish were in trakkena's revenge
#power rangers#lightspeed rescue#lost galaxy#carter grayson#leo corbett#it should've been about them!#the original gogo v vs gingaman theme mapped perfectly onto it#fantasy powers vs. human science#leo WOULD have been as cocky as ryouma considering what he can do#and while carter is more reserved than matoi#he would've knocked it out of the park when advocating for how much they strive to protect people#what we could've had!!!!#not that pr would've done this back then but there would've been layers to that considering leo and the others fled to terra venture#while... well canonically carter and his team comprise the humans who stayed behind to endure the potential monster attacks#as does every other team- so the canon gets fuzzy there#could be the difference between angel grove and mariner bay as two cities with different histories#but do you see what i mean! the potential here specifically for them as pr characters! damn bruh#going back to my fanfic it's taken a billion years why not a billion more

Thena loves watching Gil and sprite interact with each other. Falling in love more and more with him. Write something for the actor au?
"Enjoying?"
Thena smiled as Sersi came up beside her, extending a glass of something more suited to her palette. Whatever it was it was more sweet than don perignon. "Thanks--everyone's having a lovely time."
Sersi often hosted in her expansive London penthouse after an awards ceremony. It was quite the place to be, and it excused her from having to go to a much riskier party just for the sake of networking and brushing elbows with the industry.
"Especially those two," Sersi tipped her glass in the direction of the outside patio, where plenty of people were enjoying the night air, but especially Gil and Sprite, roasting marshmallows over her fire pit.
Thena just laughed. Sprite was repeatedly trying to set hers aflame while Gil attempted to fend her off while also achieving a perfect golden brown for himself. "She really is just happy she got to come to one of these, finally."
As much as Sprite was not a people person, or interested in her sister's - or cousin's - level of fame, she had always wanted to see what happened at an afterparty. Thena had always insisted they were boring and drab, but Sprite wanted to see the boring and drabness for herself.
"I'm glad she's enjoying herself," Sersi joined in Thena's laughter as Sprite attempted to sabotage the both of them, pushing both their marshmallows closer to the flame. "Whose idea was this?"
"Gil's," Thena sighed, watching as the small game turned into an all out fencing match until Gil finally took both their marshmallows for himself as a way of ending things. Sprite looked appalled before he offered another, visibly telling her to keep it out of the fire. "I think she was actually a bit bored, lurking around on her phone. But he found them in your cupboard and took her out there."
"He has a way with her, doesn't he?"
Thena just nodded. She was sufficient enough at reading lips to tell that Sprite was demanding to know why she couldn't eat the charred marshmallow. Gil was explaining something about how it wasn't good for her. As her primary guardian, Thena had attempted to do that with many things, just to get a positively scathing remark in reply.
But Sprite yielded to Gilgamesh, rolling her eyes but roasting her marshmallow pleasantly, like a law abiding citizen, instead of a teen who wanted to wave around a flaming marshmallow in the middle of a party.
"He certainly does," Thena sighed again. Sprite did seem to enjoy the nicely toasted confection. She continued to watch them until Sersi cleared her throat deliberately. "Hm?"
Sersi merely gave her a look, her eyes bouncing between her and the two outside now staking multiple marshmallows per stick. Thena continued to stare at her expectantly until Sersi laughed. "I'll have to memorise this expression for my next role as a loving wife and mother."
Thena nearly choked on the sugary drink Sersi had brought her. She licked her lips, blaming her faint coughing on the heat suddenly in her cheeks. She set down the fancy stemless crystal flute. "I beg your pardon."
"Please," Sersi easily dodged her cousin's toothsome comment, though. "I know very well what that look means."
"I did not catch your baby fever, if that is to what you are referring," Thena attempted to hiss at her, but again, Sersi let it roll right off her. They had grown up together, after all; she was entirely too accustomed to it."
"I'm not saying you want a baby," Sersi shrugged, very deliberately leaving the rest of her accusation in tact. She took a sip of her own drink, so innocent and demure. "I'm saying you look at Gilgamesh and Sprite like you're imagining living in a three bedroom cottage on the seaside."
Thena sniffed, "I hate the sea, too humid."
"Ah, yes, of course, that's the problem," Sersi snickered.
Thena leaned off her marble kitchen island to glare at her more fully. "Shall I find your costar, Mister Whitman, and ask what he thinks of a seaside cottage?"
Sersi didn't rise to bait nearly as voraciously as Thena did, but she did flick her cousin's earring. "That is different."
"I do not see how," Thena growled at her, both women more invested in drinking away the other's teasing.
Sersi pursed her lips as she finished her champagne. "Dane and I know how the other feels."
That did make Thena pause. She furrowed her brows, "when did this happen?"
Sersi shrugged, looking down at her countertop and tracing her fingers along the ripples of marble. "We were at another party like this, we simply talked and talked and...somehow we ended up on the subject of what life we would lead if not for all this."
Thena admittedly listened with rapt attention.
"I always wanted to be a teacher," Sersi smiled at her own nostalgia. "He said he used to imagine the same thing. One thing led to another and I suppose... "
Thena raised a brow.
Sersi sighed, her shoulders dropping. "We agreed we can't right now. The medical show got picked up so we'll be on that until one of us gets fired or written off."
Thena looked down as well. She had to admit, Sersi wasn't nearly as timid as she could let herself appear to be when she was playing the darling of the United Kingdom.
"But perhaps in the future," she shrugged, feigned a smile. "We'll see."
Thena had to admit, Sersi had made more of a move for her future than she could remember making in a hell of a long time. She looked outside again, to where Sprite was teaching Gil how to make a s'more. "We work together too much. The risk is too high."
Sersi gave her a pointed look, "too high for your own happiness?"
Thena sighed again, watching Gil secretly blow on Sprite's marshmallow for her as she rooted in the graham cracker box. "I'm happy right where I am, Sersi."
"Admiring from afar?" Sersi felt the need to put a name to it as she too watched Sprite smash the melted marshmallow between two graham crackers and way too big a section of chocolate.
Thena also finished off her drink before pushing the glass to the side. "I think love is best from afar, like art, or stage makeup."
Sersi offered a mild laugh before bumping her shoulder against Thena's. "I never said anything about love, but I can see your point."
Thena whipped around, prepared to snarl at her needlessly nosy cousin. But all she saw was Sersi flitting over to Mister Whitman himself, the two of them smiling at each other like schoolchildren in puppy love. Thena rolled her eyes.
"Hey," Gil looked up, smiling at her as she ventured outside and over to them. "There you are."
"Here I am," she sufficed to say, eager to put her conversation with Sersi from her mind. "What are you up to?"
"S'mores!" Sprite sufficed with the single word, swinging her melting marshmallow in her sister's direction.
Thena nearly flinched but Gil caught it at a perfectly safe distance from her.
"Easy," he both chided and laughed off as he apprehended the offending confection.
"Dude," Sprite sighed, but accepted the pilfering, instead reaching for a new one.
"I do hope you're not eating yourself sick on those," Thena felt the need to add, only for her very lovely young lady of a sister to give her the finger for it. "Right."
"Here," Gil whispered, offering the toasty marshmallow from between his fingers.
Thena let him deposit it into her palm. She hated marshmallows, but she had to admit, it was cooked to perfection. "Hm, they taste better when they're toasted."
"You should try real, homemade marshmallow sometime," Gil chuckled as he reached to roast another one, either for her or for himself. "It's a totally different experience."
"Don't tell me you know how to make that too," Thena groaned. As if she needed another ridiculous reason to be infatuated with him.
"You can come over to my place and try it," he nudged her gently.
"Party at Gil's!"
"Sprite!" Thena hissed at her, catching the disgusting vision of her sister's completely full mouth. "Honestly!"
Sprite rolled her eyes but tossed another marshmallow at her.
Again, it didn't reach her, as Gil caught it in midair and added it to his roasting spit. Thena watched the confections achieve their perfectly golden state, using the excuse as a way to lean against him by the warmth of the fire.
#Thenamesh Actors AU#listen Thena I feel you#Gil is perfect#and homemade marshmallow really is different#Thena and Sprite attend the awards to support Sersi#although every once in a while Thena will be nominated for something#and Sersi throws this very lovely afterparty#which isn't at a club or a rented out bar or in some shady director's gross man flat#and Sprite gets to go!#Gil sees her kind of floating around while Thena is being forced to mingle#and goes hey kid#he takes her outside and immediately claims the fire pit for them#ignoring the glares of the couples already there low key canoodling#and of course Thena sees him with her sister#being such a good big brother/father to her#and girl is head over heels#she is in L O V E#and Sersi is here like#how long must I endure this in my own home?#meanwhile Dane is here like#is that your cousin you told me about?#yesp#is that her husband?#Sersi: ............yes#Dane: but I swear I saw him in-#Sersi: don't worry about it ur so cute haha

Thin, emaciated wrists felt like mere feathers upon Kakashi's calloused palms. Total and utter shock prevented him from enclosing the trembling anatomy with security and warmth, his own skin crawling with a nitrogenous cold. Whatever heat held in the pads of his fingertips receded into his bones along with the spirit beheld by the central body.
"I'm-... Sorry, what did you say?" he said, sheepishly, regaining his sense as many guardian eyes bore into his shoulder with bewilderment," hungry, right. We can get you fed."
The rest of whatever the woman said faded into the obscurity of his mind. Nothing said was sticking to his mind and everything was lost like a downpour of vocabulary into a waterlogged dictionary.
"Where have you- What did you say your name was again?"
