#echos of a future talk

[insert-this-fire]

What people don’t know about my fic echos of the future is that a planned ship is my dumb crack ship that I adore and I am excited it’s finally going to exist in my fic

i love, conceptually, that echoes was focused on saint and osiris. we defeat the greatest foe we’ve ever faced and the first story we hear is of the two lovers who gave all of themselves to the city, who gave up their dreams to protect it. that one of the first cutscenes is the spark that maybe, just maybe, now their once impossible dream might be a little closer to being real. the ideal follow-up

in most bad future timeline interpretations i see people make leo and raph close with no or very little complications, which is always fun and cute, but also considering how resolving their conflict is so central to the movie, i really like to imagine that in the bad timeline they never did. give me future leo and raph that degraded so so horribly that their relationship was unsalvageable. wouldnt it make that so heartbreaking, for f!raph to die before they ever get to resolve this decades long running conflict because the stress of the apocalypse tore them apart?

for the record its a big reason i (in cvd in particular but also in general) like to posit the idea of donnie dying first and not raph, just because the idea of leo looking into the eyes of his older brother who WARNED him the day this all started that this would happen and having to live with that guilt would be so painful. would it be worse if raph blamed him, or if he didn't judge him at all, and tried to reach out because he understood the kind of weight this would have on leo, only for leo to pull away and make it worse out of so much shame and anger, because it's so much easier to direct that towards someone else in his extremes of grief? yelling at him that he was right, doesn't he want to rub it in?????? (and of course raph would be so horrified and offended by the idea of it, and it'd only make things worse! raph can be really temperamental and impatient he's not a saint, and with things being so high-stress... yeah!)

wouldnt it be painful if, when f!raph died, leo found himself utterly horrified by the fact that he doesnt really have the time or energy to grieve at all? is it because he's still in survival mode or just because of how rocky their relationship was? does he feel like a monster? is f!raph's death the thing that really propels him fully towards responsibility?

and like obviously, how would this all affect mikey, who wants nothing more than to see his family get along????

do u see my vision

I need more ascendance of a bookworm friends who have read the books so I can scream about this fanfic plotline I've got for. Like. A solid hour.

i think what pisses me off so much about the (tumblr) bflf fans (using this term so it doesn’t show up in searches and also because i personally see bflf fans as a separate (mainly english language) phenomenon from 双xuan fans) is that like. so much of what is held up as “proof” and “canon” is just like………seventh degree extrapolation. i say this as someone who DOES ship them and DOES think their narrative is fascinating. but also like. that narrative is about class and privilege and how deeply deeply damaging it is that rich people (aristocracy in this case) are capable of literally stealing the fate of people from poor families, and how no one will do anything, for centuries, or care, because those poor people don’t matter in the eyes of society. hx is plagued by a ghost that torments him as a human, by calamities that take his betrothed and his family from him, that turn him, ultimately, into a ravenous ghost who can think of nothing but grief and anger and hunger and revenge. and sqx gets to have his title, his destiny, for centuries. yes, because swd loved him, but that doesn’t change how deeply unjust this is. it doesn’t change the fact that sqx was only afforded this fate at the cost of a common person. and when you reduce their narrative down to “bflf are in love!” “bflf are doomed yuri!” etc, you’re ignoring the very intentional narrative message being sent, nevermind my personal thoughts on whether they were in love (probably not in canon) or wlw (lol. this one would get me fifty years of hate comments).

also if you’re convincing people to read the novel by telling them all about bflf i think you should be subjected to ten hours of nail clipping asmr because you’re just fucking doing false advertisement and i hope for your sake the friend who trusted you on this topic doesn’t begin to secretly distrust you based on lying to them to get them to read your favourite book.

seeing as wuwa's doing the whole lock locations behind the story deal, my only hope is that there will be some kind of travelling merchant that occasionally comes by and sells things like regional specialties and even boss materials, regardless of how far the player's progressed. would seriously help new players who haven't unlocked the regions along with saving caught up players some time

Tapping away at my phone as I write my silly rook going back and forth on not wanting to interact with Solas but Solas deciding to follow Rook around like a wet cat.

Hi fishy

1, 3, and 5 for Liam?

1. How many living parents does your OC have? If they're alive, where are they now and what's your OC's relationship with them? If they're dead, how did they die?

They're dead. During the invasion, their business' building collapsed and they were trapped inside. The didn't live long after that due to their injuries and smoky/dusty air suffocating them.

3. How did your OC feel the first time they left home? Why did they leave?

He felt relieved. He could finally be his own person, not used as a tool to make his brothers look better. He was able to do and eat whatever he wanted without being made to feel bad for it.

5. What did your OC think their life would be like when they grew up? Has it lived up to that expectation?

He felt like he was always going to be stuck. Like he would never be loved due to how John and the nanny treated him.

Thankfully, he was wrong.

still reeling from the one agent saying they want "subtle" fairy tale retellings like Cinder, and idk if we're thinking about the same Cinder there are literally quotes from the og fairy tale before the corresponding chapters?????? so you know exactly where we are in the plot??????

Cut several inches off my hair today and feel so much better about life.

Granted yes any sort of hair appointment, whether it's conditioning treatment or trim or color or whatnot, usually makes someone feel good because a stylist gets to play with it and make it look fantastic but like

I made the decision to try to grow it out to my waist again like I hadn't done in a decade or so. And I enjoyed it, I liked it. But I also started to hate it.

And im quietly ruminating on how we can't go home again, but we can find the parts of home we treasured and carry them into the future with us.
