watching the nandermo tag is like watching my parent's devorce
mom: "you never showed me you loved me!"
dad: "thats not true, i got your car's oil changed that one time!"
#wwdits#what we do in the shadows#nandermo#like you guys dont get it#they're both valid#what can mean a lot to one person could be not enough to another#and. both. are. valid.#both. are. true.#and either you work it out or you dont#but this dismissal of feelings from either side is just gross and disappointing#i should just leave it alone#but my god all this drama from a place that i felt genuine companionship is breaking my heart

The Wheelers have a hard time saying I love you, and as someone who also has a hard time saying it as well, I get it. I am not affectionate in the way some people except it either. Some of it stems from intimacy issues because of trauma, and some of it is because of my autism. I always show my love in other ways, though, and my father is autistic as well, so he gets it. I don't know about Holly because we haven't seen much of her but Mike and Nancy. . .definitely autistic coded. Anyway, I definitely think Mike would have a hard time saying it no matter what relationship he is in. Byler is definitely more of a possibility, respectfully. I don't know about Mileven, I don't know what's going to happen there, but I do know that if Mike does get with Will, he will still have a hard time saying it so pointing out that out that he has a hard time saying it, doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't love El. He will always love El, no matter what. That relationship will always be special to both of them. He just has a hard time dealing with his emotions because his parents never really dealt with their own. I respect Mileven, but there are so many other things about them that you can point out that would indicate that they wouldn't work out. I think, though, that Will would probably eventually realize how hard it is for him, and he'd start looking for the ways that Mike would let him know. I think people forget that Mike is very much a traumatized boy who witnessed his best friend disappear and then also watch El "die". He thought she was dead for like a year, and he couldn't let her go. How's a young boy supposed to deal with that? How is he even supposed to even comprehend his feelings? Let alone make a choice about who he wants. I think it's just very hard for him.

Yes I've read Battle Royale, yes I think it's better than the Hunger Games, no I don't think that means that The Hunger Games has no reason to exist.
#battle royale#the hunger games#the base concepts are the same#the worldbuilding details and the characters are very different#they're both valid#istg some people act like two similar concepts have never coexisted before#i wish you would have had this energy for fables and once upon a time#even though fables was a comic and ouat was a tv show#but if we're talking books how many thousands of thrillers and romance novels have almost identical storylines at the surface?#personally i think what made battle royale more compelling was the fact that the kids all knew each other#whereas the focus on image and celebrity and the heavy sci fi elements were what set thg apart

Jonghyun/Jinki; I like him :); R
I didn't feel like writing the smut so I wrote the aftercare lol tw for mentions of cnc :3c
"Do you want to cum again?" he asks. "One more for me?" He gets one finger down to press lightly on Jonghyun's hole, all nice and slick and cummy, and very much enjoys the whimper muffled into his shoulder. “Noooo," Jonghyun whines, and even though he sounds genuinely disappointed, continues, "I'm all tuckered out."
Jinki surprises himself when he lets out a squeak as he's stretching his arms over his head. His next breath comes out in a laugh, his hands falling down on top of his head, smoothing around to the back of it, lacing behind his neck. He must be more fucked out than he thought. All the more reason to finish up what he's doing in the kitchen and get back to the bedroom quickly.
He taps his fingers on the counter in front of the microwave, watching the nachos rotate in there impatiently. When they're finally done, he grabs them, then grabs a can of soda and a bottle of choccy milky from the fridge, a straw from the drawer, and makes his way down the hall.
The bedroom door is still open and Jonghyun is right where Jinki left him. Sprawled out naked on his tummy on the bed, beautiful and golden against the white sheets, sweat clinging to him, hair all messed up, cum leaking from his booty hole, all on top of–no. Jinki corrects himself. Jonghyun is a couple inches to the right of where he left him, next to the veritable puddle of his own cum instead of still lying in it. His pretty lashes are fanned out over his cheeks as he dozes, but when Jinki knocks on the door frame and leans into the room, he opens his eyes and picks up his head from the pillow of his arms, smiling sleepily. Gorgeous.
"Can I come back and tell you you're cute and I love you yet, pretty?" Jinki asks. Jonghyun blinks slowly at him, processing his words. Then he bubbles into giggles, turning them back into his arms. Jinki rolls his eyes fondly. Still giddy. He recovers, though, enough to prop himself up on his forearms and smile, "if you must."
Jinki must, so he does, stepping into the room and sitting on the bed near the pillows, in front of Jonghyun, ignoring the thought of all of the laundry they’ll have to do later. He puts their food down between them, then cups Jonghyun's cheek, pinching, wiggling him a little bit, just because he wants to.
"You're cute and I love you," he says warmly. Jonghyun smiles back, kissing the pad of his thumb.
"Can't believe you made nachos,” he says. He reaches onto the plate and takes one, lifting it up and then twisting it so all of the melty cheese wraps around it. Then he taps the bottle of choccy milky with an empty corner of the chip with an expectant look before he pops it into his mouth. As Jinki picks up the bottle and opens it for him, putting the straw in and everything, Jonghyun talks with his mouth full. "I thought you liked smoothies for your aftercare food."
"Oh, my aftercare food?" Jinki asks, eyebrows rising into his bangs. This is surprising. News to him, but Jonghyun nods, taking his choccy milky and taking a drink. He also grabs three chips this time, bringing them in a quick, drippy mess to his mouth and then leaving crumbs everywhere when he bites into them.
"Yeah," he says. "You're the one that needs it."
Jinki, soda can popped and halfway to his mouth, stops in the middle of that to snort. Oh. He sees. Jonghyun is in this mood again. Big tough baby mood. Super jacked infant just out of the womb with a six-pack mood. Stubborn and impossible to talk sense into mood. Jinki takes a sip of his soda, then raises his eyebrows and says, "you were literally crying at one point."
"Yeah, because the nut was so good," Jonghyun grins."I cry about everything but that doesn't mean I need to be comforted about everything. I'm baby but I'm like. A super tough jacked baby...." And there he goes, on his big tough baby metaphor, just like Jinki knew he would be. Jinki tunes him out in favor of eating some of the nachos before they all disappear. He's heard this enough that he has it memorized and Jonghyun knows that, but he just likes saying anyway, for the fun and the drama of it all.
Jinki also cannot believe how often that Jonghyun insists that he doesn't need aftercare. Like, first of all, he does just on principle, because every sub deserves aftercare. And second of all, when they really get into it like they did just now, it even wears Jinki out. The pair of them have some harsh kinks, Jonghyun has a few even harsher ones, and Jinki has developed quite a skill for being mean. It's hard to get into that mindset and stay there for a while. He's soft by nature. Focusing on his role takes a lot out of him. He can't even begin to imagine what it does to Jonghyun.
And yet here Jonghyun lays, feet kicking in the air, wolfing down his nachos, giggling as he tries to get through his buff baby speech. Like he really is just chill with it. Preposterous. Jinki tuned him out a little extra when he brought his soda can to his mouth because he knew that listening to Jonghyun laugh would make him want to laugh too, so when he's halfway through chugging the entire thing and he feels Jonghyun's fingers on his knee, he looks down, surprised.
Jonghyun is smiling at him, opening and closing his fingers on his knee, tickling him a little bit. Once he has Jinki's attention, he says, "doms need aftercare too. It's okay, Jinki my honey. You can admit it." And then, while Jinki is blinking and trying to process that wild statement, Jonghyun stuffs another handful of nachos into his mouth. "Gosh, these are so fucking good," he groans. "I'm going to nut again."
"Oh, like you have anything left," Jinki replies automatically, grinning. That sets Jonghyun to laughing again, to giggling, "listen, I can nut emotionally even if there's nothing left in the tank," and then the both of them are laughing, talking, joking and smiling together. Relaxing, settling down. After a minute, Jonghyun tries to pick up Jinki's hand with just his pinky lifted off of his choccy milky. Jinki lifts it for him, and then follows Jonghyun's pinky over to his head, where he pets his hair, pinches his cheek, just holds him, gently.
That's his favorite part about aftercare. Petting Jonghyun. Just touching him, gently, wherever he wants. Making him smile. It puts Jinki's heart at ease to see him so sleepy and content, almost purring underneath his fingers.
They hang out together like that for Jinki doen't know how long; long enough to polish off all of the nachos and then some. Long enough for Jonghyun to roll over onto his back and let Jinki rub his tummy, wiggle his fingers into soft squish. Long enough and so far away enough from the sex that the smell of cum drying and staining into the extra sheets they put down is starting to get overwhelming almost to the point of hilarity.
Jinki still doesn't want to deal with that, so instead, he squishes Jonghyun's face with both hands and leans over him, bending down to quickly peck a kiss to his mouth.
"Want to go shower, cutiepie?" he asks. Jonghyun quickly brings his hands up around the back of Jinki's head, keeping him there to kiss again. When he's done, he shrugs, yawning into the back of his hand.
"Not really," he says. "I'm good."
"You are not," Jinki sighs. "You are so sweaty and so full of cum."
"I was sweaty," Jonghyun tells him. "Not anymore. It's all gone. And I can just put a plug in."
He's doing this just to be a little brat. Jinki knows this. It's in the sparkle of his eyes, the smirk on his mouth. It's true that Jonghyun probably doesn’t mind not showering right now, but he wouldn't mind getting in the shower either. He’s having fun choosing not to just to be contrary. Jinki loves him.
"Up you get, leaky boy," Jinki says, sliding off of the bed and then grabbing Jonghyun's wrists. He leaves their dishes on the bed, to be cleaned up later, when he feels like it. Jonghyun offers him no help whatsoever, exaggeratedly limp and useless as Jinki tries to pull him to his feet, and then when he succeeds at that finally, Jonghyun leans all of his weight on him so he stumbles back a couple of steps. Jinki doesn't even bother reprimanding him. He knows that all Jonghyun would do is giggle.
"Do you mean my dick or my bootyhole?" Jonghyun grins into his neck.
"Yes," Jinki replies, smiling into his hair. Then he tugs him into the bathroom, ignoring his little smiles about wanting to stay sweaty and sticky. He cranks the water on hot, turns the fan on, rustles around in the closet looking for their fluffiest towels. When he turns around to toss them onto the counter, Jonghyun is sticking his hand tentatively under the water and then stepping in, standing directly underneath the spray and letting it fall directly onto his face.
Once he’s pleased with how wet he is, Jonghyun turns and leans back against the shower wall, arms limp at his sides, head tilted back, bangs in his eyes, just smiling at Jinki. Jinki smiles back, a little lovestruck for a moment, until Jonghyun sticks his tongue out at him.
Shaking his head, Jinki pushes the pajama pants he threw on after they finished down to the floor. Grabbing the hem of his shirt, he glances back at Jonghyun. Jonghyun politely closes his eyes, pretty lashes long against his cheeks, smile lazy and content. Jinki loves him even more.
Jonghyun keeps his eyes closed all the way until Jinki steps into the shower, pulls the curtain behind him, cups his face, and presses their mouths together softly.
"You are so gay," he murmurs when Jinki pulls away, smiling at him through his lashes. Jinki smiles back, kissing him again.
"Thanks," he says. Then, since he knows that Jonghyun isn't going to bother, he reaches for the shampoo and washes their hair for them. He slicks some conditioner through their hair as well, then gently leans Jonghyun back against the wall so he can soap himself all up quickly. Jonghyun doesn't help with that so much as just bother him, rubbing body wash over his back lazily with soft, tickling fingers, feeling up his arms greedily while he's trying to rinse himself off.
Not once while he's doing all of this does he let his eyes wander down further than Jinki's collarbones, but still. When he's done, Jinki gets Jonghyun's wrists in his hands, pinning them to the wall so he can kiss him again.
"You are a nuisance," he chides.
"I thought you were being nice to me now," Jonghyun pouts. It's not much of a pout, with his mouth turned up at the corners, but his lips are still puffy and his voice is still baby and Jinki feels bad anyway.
"You're right," he sighs. Between kisses, he continues, "because you're cute. And sweet. And kind. And I love you."
And for his compliments, and his kisses, Jonghyun calls him gay again. And then adds, "continue your aftercare. Pamper me."
“Yes, of course," Jinki says blandly. "My aftercare.”
He ignores the affirmative hum from Jonghyun, picking up the body wash again and getting to work. He takes his time, goes slow. He starts with a neck rub, then moves down to his shoulders, turning Jonghyun around to work his thumbs into his muscles and down his back. When he does Jonghyun's arms he makes sure to go all the way down to his hands and then kiss the back of each one, smiling against his fingers to make Jonghyun blush.
Jonghyun dramatically lifts each one of his legs to be washed in turn, which means that they spend a turn clinging to each other and giggling, hearts pounding probably harder than they did when they were fucking, when Jonghyun loses his balance and almost falls.
And then, finally, the time comes for Jinki to spend a disproportionately long but still extremely necessary time washing Jonghyun's booty. Jonghyun senses this too, because as soon as Jinki gets his hands on the booty, he wiggles happily. Loosely circling his arms around Jinki's waist, Jonghyun nuzzles into his shoulder, closes his eyes, and gets right back to his perfect and most gorgeous state of practically purring. Jinki's favorite.
Jinki positions them to be under the shower spray more directly, so their conditioner will rinse out while they’re occupied. With water running down his face, he closes his eyes too and takes his time feeling up the booty. Squishing it, kneading it, cute and small in his hands. When he teases his fingers over the crack, pulling him open just the tiniest amount, Jonghyun gasps. His fingers curl into Jinki's back. Jinki smiles.
"Do you want to cum again?" he asks. "One more for me?" He gets one finger down to press lightly on Jonghyun's hole, all nice and slick and cummy, and very much enjoys the whimper muffled into his shoulder.
“Noooo," Jonghyun whines, and even though he sounds genuinely disappointed, continues, "I'm all tuckered out."
And then, quickly, a smile in his voice, tacks on, "and I mean, like, actually no. Not, like, yes please no.”
"I know," Jinki laughs. He knows. Of course he knows. He kisses the side of Jonghyun's head, conditioner and all, and starts to move his hands away. Just as quick, Jonghyun grabs his wrist and keeps his hand still.
"Finger me, though," he says. "Feels nice."
Jinki doesn't know how he's supposed to resist that, so he obeys. With one hand, he holds Jonghyun open, and with the other, he pushes two fingers inside of his hole. He goes slow, and gentle, in and out so Jonghyun can feel each and every centimeter. He teases around his prostate without ever actually touching it, not wanting to overwhelm him. Every so often, he spreads his fingers, pulling Jonghyun open, so more cum drips out onto the shower floor and down the drain.
Jonghyun rocks his hips back against his hands. Every breath of his is either a soft little gasp in or a pleased hum out. Jinki is pleased himself, pleased and content, comfortable to stand here and do this for as long as Jonghyun wants. Anything for Jonghyun.
"Hey, Jinki?" Jonghyun says eventually. Jinki hums back to show that he's listening. Jonghyun squeezes him a little bit, smoothing his hands up and down his back. "When I was begging you to stop and saying I couldn't handle it anymore, and then you said ‘who cares?’" he says. "That was really hot."
A smirk automatically finds its way onto Jinki's mouth. He knew that Jonghyun would like that. The demoralization, the dehumanization, the stripping of his boundaries, the tiniest hint of ownership. It was the perfect thing for the perfect fucktoy to hear and Jinki is so proud of himself for coming up with it on the spot like that. Plus, "I could tell when it made you nut so hard that you passed out for a minute," he says. Even if he wasn't sure about saying it, that reaction was a huge giveaway that it was a good idea.
"Gosh," Jonghyun says, and he's giggling now, pressing his forehead into Jinki's shoulder. "It wasn't really a minute, was it?" he asks.
"15, 20 Seconds, maybe," Jinki shrugs. Long enough.
"And you kept going?" Jonghyun asks.
"Obviously," Jinki replies smugly. Jonghyun inflates with a big, happy breath, squeezing him tight around the middle. He squeezes him so tight that Jinki's back cracks, and then, between their breathy laughter, Jonghyun sighs, "I love you so much."
He sounds so content and cozy and perfectly in love that Jinki has no choice but to believe him, and then he has no choice but to put his own face into his hands and decide that they're done showering now. He can't keep standing here like this if Jonghyun is going to get all soft and genuine on him. He can't handle it when he can hardly believe that he deserves it.
Instantly Jonghyun picks up on this, and instantly he decides to take advantage of it, looking at Jinki with hearts in his eyes but a smirk on his lips while Jinki struggles to get the showerhead off of the thing so he can rinse them off properly. And when they step out of the shower, he gets to the towels first, so Jinki has to just stand there and be gently dried off and kissed all over, Jonghyun smiling soft words into his skin until his ears are bright red. Jonghyun kisses those too, and he almost melts into a puddle right there on the floor.
"Not fair," he whines, snatching the towel back to cover himself. Jonghyun, shimmying around in his own towel, opens his mouth to reply, but Jinki cuts him off first. He holds his fist up between them, wiggling it, and says, "for the laundry."
One of them has to do it, and reminding Jonghyun of it is as good enough a way to distract him as any. It works; even though Jonghyun definitely knows that's what he's doing, he still lifts up his own hand and it shakes out a quick game of rock paper scissors. He loses, so they do best two out of three, and then out of five, and then out of seven, and then Jinki stops trying to give him a chance and tells him to just get started.
Jonghyun does with a sigh and a pout and a kiss on the cheek after they get dressed in new comfy pajamas.
Jinki grabs their dishes to wash while he's doing that, and once he's done, he takes a moment to lean on the sink and bite his lip and think about Jonghyun and smile. Jonghyun was right. He is so gay and in love.
He pushes off of the sink and heads to the laundry room. He doesn't want to leave his love alone for longer than he has to.
Jonghyun is pouring detergent into the washing machine when Jinki gets there, and he smiles over his shoulder when Jinki puts his hands on his waist and kisses the back of his head. Jinki doesn't say anything; he just holds Jonghyun, tight but gentle. Just to be with him, touching him, loving him. Jonghyun stays quiet as well until he gets the washing machine started. Then he pulls himself out of Jinki's arms, turns around, and hoists himself up onto the washing machine, sitting on it, legs spread to give Jinki room to stand in between them.
"Hey, Jinki?" he asks, quiet. Jinki hums his response, putting his hands on either side of Jonghyun's hips and pressing their mouths together softly. Jonghyun kisses back for a minute, soft, slow, deep. When the kiss breaks, Jonghyun circles his arms around Jinki's neck and rests their foreheads together.
"I know you love me," he says.
Jinki has to take a moment to process that after he hears it. He wasn't expecting that, and he wasn't expecting it to come from Jonghyun's serious voice. He opens his eyes, looking at Jonghyun's closed eyelids. Jonghyun plays with the hair at the nape of his neck as he continues, "I know you do. And I believe that you do. I can tell, all the time, that you love me."
"Um," Jinki says.
"I wasn't done," Jonghyun tells him. He holds Jinki's head and turns him to kiss each of his cheeks. With a smile pushing up his own cheeks, he says, "I know you love me, even when you're calling me a filthy, worthless, desperate little fucktoy and using me until you're done with me even if that pushes me way past what I say my limits are." Finally he opens his eyes, meeting Jinki's up close. He has that glint in them where Jinki knows that he's being made fun of, but he is also still so soft and genuine that it almost makes Jinki's heart hurt. "That's kind of the whole point," he grins.
Jinki purses his lips, annoyed. He thinks he sees what's going on here.
"Is this still about how you think I'm the one that needs aftercare?" he asks.
"Am I wrong?" Jonghyun replies. He raises his eyebrows at Jinki, plays with his hair, tilts his face up to press a kiss to the tip of his nose. Jinki doesn't answer at first. He wants to say that yes, Jonghyun is wrong, but. That really would be a lie. He can see that now, in this quiet little moment. Instead, he sighs, kissing Jonghyun once again.
"I guess not," he says.
"Oh, you guess not?" Jonghyun laughs. He leans back on his hands, breathy, incredulous, bumping Jinki with his knee. Jinki can't help it; he laughs too.
"Listen," he says. "I'll admit that I deserve love when I'm good and ready." It's just that it's a whole process, and he's been working on it, but it's going to take a while, and Jonghyun knows this. "You can settle for me saying maybe." Maybe he needs care and assurance after rough sex, same as Jonghyun. Doubtful, but if Jonghyun wants to convince him, Jinki won't stop him.
Jonghyun looks at him for a moment, lips pressed together, sighing through his nose, and then he rolls his eyes. "Fine," he smiles. "Good enough. C'mere." He makes grabby hands like he wasn't the one that moved away in the first place. Jinki leans closer anyway, letting Jonghyun hold his face and kiss him.
And kiss him, and kiss him. Jinki guesses that they're going to be doing this for a while, making out in the laundry room with the washing machine rumbling underneath them, and he can't say that he's opposed to it.
What he can say, after another moment when a thought occurs to him, is, "did you give yourself a boner again when you called yourself a filthy worthless desperate little fucktoy?"
Jonghyun bubbles into giggles against his mouth, then pulls him closer so he can laugh into his shoulder.
"Almost," he admits. "It was close."
"Uh huh," Jinki says, rolling his eyes, more in love than ever.

A-anime?
you know, sometimes I forget that Twst is actually an isekai that starts with the protagonist getting run over by an inexplicable horse-drawn carriage. and every time I'm reminded is a delight because that's AMAZING.
also. look. okay. there's a lot of very fun stuff in the trailer but I am obsessed with that Crowley surprised pikachu face. me when I spend all my keys and gems literally hours before they announce overblot SSRs and drop the anime trailer:
#twisted wonderland#twst anime#<- gonna use that for anime stuff in case anyone wishes to filter it#this is the point where i once again have to admit that i have not really read the manga#(i've liked what i've seen but it's very hard for me to keep up with stuff a lot of the time)#(the anime may actually be easier for me to absorb it in :')#god i GOTTA draw the manga yuus#i kept meaning to when yuuna got revealed but i didn't get around to it before 7-13 ate my brain 😭#anyway the bits they chose for the trailer are pretty interesting to me!#like i think chances are good it was mostly from that one sequence because given the timeline#they probably don't have a ton of 100% finished post-comp footage yet so they probably just took what they have#but also i'm thinking back to how deliberately vague all the game promo stuff was#and...okay again i don't really know how they did it in the manga but i am reminded of how overblotting was actually like. a twist.#a twst twist#like we were introduced to it in the prologue with the mine phantom#but riddle's overblot was an actual SURPRISE and like. an instant reveal that okay THIS is what the story's gonna be about#so i'm just kinda wondering if the anime promos might also like...actively try not to spoil everything#or if they're gonna go full anime-intro 'here's all the super spoilery scenes you can expect to see :)'#basically is the marketing gonna skew towards new viewers or established fans. both valid i'm just curious!#also excuse me for a moment as i reveal myself as a hugely pretentious snob but#oh my god the backgrounds actually have some texture and shape and are taking style cues from the game backgrounds#oh my god the castle exterior actually looks illustrative and fantastic and isn't just a 3d model they plopped in#it's hard to tell at this point how consistent that'll be since most of the trailer is in the mirror chamber#but i'm just SO happy to see it! hopefully this means they weren't crunched to fuck and are able to really go ham#(the pre-isekai scenes all look more generic modern anime so like...is that a conscious artistic choice they made)#(because that would be incredible. holy shit.)

Not to focus overly on my Rookanis feels, but I love the dialogue cutscene where Lucanis and Davrin are drinking together, sharing stories, and invite Rook to sit with them, for so many reasons.
I mean, I love the dialogue cutscene in general and both the guys in it. The mood is great. The dialogue is just so damn funny. It's a friendly dick measuring contest between our favourite boys. After the initial antagonism and tension, they've become friends. There are bizarre lore drops. The stories are entertaining and frankly wtf? A big writhing ball of angry nugs? Created through blood magic? The stuff of nightmares! I wish I could see Lucanis deal with that. I wish I could see Davrin figure out the big heap of tentacles. I love the way the guys are just a little tipsy in a cute way. Lucanis talks a little too loud in comparison with what we're used to. Davrin is starting to have trouble articulating. The "Of course we're getting along. We're PROFESSIONALS," as Lucanis raises his cup a little towards Davrin always cracks me up. Also, Lucanis, are you drinking wine from a coffee cup? The way they both invite Rook to stay and participate. The prospect of slightly drunk cooking and snacking and sharing stories. All in all, it's a beautiful scene that makes me smile every time.
But let me also yap about Lucanis for a moment. (Of course you will let me. It's not like you can stop me. No one can stop me. Not even me.) I want to focus on how Lucanis interacts with Rook in this scene.
It's obvious he's let himself relax a little. He's a bit intoxicated. Clearly he's having fun. He smiles easily and flutters his eyelashes at Rook. When you choose the dialogue option that mentions ruining Solas' ritual, Lucanis insists that Rook tells the story. "[Neve and Harding] don't tell it the way you would," he says, encouraging Rook to talk about something, from what he says, he seems to have already heard, because he wants to hear them tell it.
Then he decides he'll cook something while they chat, but he emphasizes that he will only do so "if Rook's staying," nudging them further. It couldn't be more clear that he wants them there and that he enjoys their company.
I feel like I don't see enough people feral about it, because come on, he's so sweet in this scene. He obviously wants Rook around and their presence makes him happy.
And, yeah, I know this scene also happens with "just" friendly Rook. The thing is, I don't give a fuck. I don't think it diminishes the interaction in any way. The context matters. It's sweet with friendly Rook and even sweeter when they're more. Also, I played Lucanis' romance first, and I did not know that. What I saw in this scene during that first playthrough was the man absolutely delighted by Rook's company, repeatedly and enthusiastically asking them to stay and spend time with him, and it made my day. Still does.
When I keep babbling about how much I love Lucanis' romance, it's not just about all the hearts I get to click to see where they lead or the beautiful post-Tearstone love scene, it's also interactions like this where you see how much he wants Rook to be there, all the more or less subtle signs of affection (and yes, also friendship, because that goes hand in hand) that happen throughout the whole game.
#Dragon Age#Dragon Age: The Veilguard#DATV#Veilguard#Lucanis Dellamorte#Rookanis#sometimes I look at certain posts that say that Lucanis' romance made someone/their Rook feel ''unloved''#and I think that whatever feelings one might have about it are valid - I'm not here to tell anyone how they should or shouldn't feel#we all have our own tastes and ideas about what good romance consists of too#but oh boy I can't relate at all#as far as I'm concerned‚ and taking his personality into consideration‚ Lucanis couldn't be more clear he wants (to be around) Rook#and I find their bond to be so special and deep#but they both also approach and cultivate it so carefully and slowly because of all the circumstances and I think that's beautiful#though I admit I don't understand complaints from those who think he's supposedly somehow more interested in Neve than Rook#I mean don't get me wrong - they're a sweet couple when that happens#but on a Rookanis playthrough? seriously?#do they actually pay attention to the man or do they just look at him#is Lucanis a different man in their game than mine?#have they somehow missed all the interactions between him and Rook - romanced or not - throughout the whole game?#vs a few friendly lines he has with Neve?#idk man couldn't be me#I didn't even know they could get together under different circumstances during my 1st playthrough 😂#I learned that outside the game#I mean I suspected it might be the case because the devs talked about NPC romances but I also suspected Lucanis and Davrin 😆#I only got confirmation later online#but anyway LOOK AT HIS DELIGHTED LIL FACE here

No hold on I'm gonna make an extra post about this:
I wouldn't choose to be alloromantic
If I were given the choice to either remain aro or become alloro again, I would choose aromanticism.
And I think a lot of people need to hear that.
#aro#aromantic#actually aromantic#safeforaro#alloromantics are encouraged to reblog this#aros aren't the only ones who need to hear that our orientation isn't a consolation prize#too many ppl - both aro-specs and alloros - think that being aro is okay only bc it's not something we choose#with the implicit belief that if we COULD choose then OF COURSE we'd choose to be alloro#bc it's clearly the 'superior' option#and honestly? it's not.#they're equally valid options and which one is 'superior' depends entirely on your own needs and preferences#and my preference is *being aro*#so if you're aro and you feel like yeah sure it's OKAY that you're aro bc you DIDN'T choose this#but if you could you WOULD choose to be alloro?#well maybe being alloro really would be better for you. or maybe it's just internalized amatonormativity.#and I cannot answer for you which one it is - the only one who can is you#all I can do is raise you the OPTION that it might be amatonormativity and then leave you to consider it#so this is for the aros who need to hear that option#and for the alloros who pity us for supposedly getting the short end of the stick#we are not a tragedy

I am still hoping that they're endgame for the sake of Milevens, but some people's point of views are weird. Why can't El and Mike still be absolutely in love with each other and still not work out? Why does their love have to be shallow and conventional? Why does it have to be considered heteronormative? Why can't it just be that El was Mike's first love and Mike was El's? They tried really hard, but sometimes, as strong as their love was. . .it didn't work out? Why does it have to mean nothing to some people? Mike and El will always love each other, especially if they're in different relationships. There will always be something there. Why do people have to deny Mike's feelings for El in order to prove his feelings for Will? Why can't it be that he loves both of them? I think Mike being bisexual would be so important, especially for the biphobic crowd out there. El and Mike's relationship isn't trying to be heteronormative. It's about two kids who found each other and fell for each other, who tried to struggle with their trauma together. It's that simple. I mean, Mike is El and Will's first love. . . If one doesn't work out, why does that mean the other one would? I just think there's so much meaning to be found in both Mileven and Byler, which is why I don't understand the discourse between the two. I think it would be fun for them to have friendly little debates about it. I stay neutral about this because, honestly, I would have picked a side had they not made El Will's sister. Now it's just too awkward for me to choose, really.

I came out of No Straight Roads shipping May and Zuke a little but this is absolutely their ship dynamic to me.
#No Straight Roads#Mayzuke#shitpost#nsr mayday#nsr zuke#Honestly they're one of those pairs where both romantic and platonic interpretations are equally valid#In the end they are a set do not separate#OTP: Bunkbed Lovers

Elsbeth and Hacks airing concurrently is so funny because you'll be scrolling and see alternate gifsets of one codependent age-gap f/f ship that's like "I love you and miss you and you look so beautiful and I would marry you tomorrow if you'd have me" and one that's like "kill yourself"

i find it so strange when people act as though the japanese ffxiv script is the only canon allowed. like yes it's a japanese game but a LOT of work is put into the localisations? it’s hardly some random fan translation people are putting stock in?
anyway i don’t care if it’s just a reference to monkey island the translators put in im going to accept that thancred can hold his breath for 10 minutes (or that he’s just exaggerating for dramatic effect)
#eloise talks#things get lost in translation things get added things get changed such is the violence and beauty of it#eng and jpn dark knight quests are both very good#they're quite different and they're both valid and they're both good#(idk about other languages but i assume they are also good)#the eng localisation of haurchefant was an excellent decision#one day I’ll do my jpn playthrough of the msq#when i do that know it’s because I’m probably having a rough time irl

I've only seen him leave his blanket nest once since losing all his feathers and it was for thirty seconds at 4am while he was getting a glass of water okay.
Why do you even want this?

#not tagging this as anything because he out here lookin like a thumb its totally safe for work#My inbox is 50% people offering him soup and 50% people sending him pictures of ugly naked birds and calling him a wrinkly scrotum#and they're both valid#fully nude but the shoes stay on#because that one anon.....I refuse to give you what you want....#revali#tears of the kingdom#breath of the wild#age of calamity#legends of zelda#rito#rito village
