Y'all ever just think about the fact that Luke has younger siblings, and like not by a huge gap from when he was born. Can't figure out how old Chris Rodriquezs actor is (Andrew Alvarez most mysterious man on this planet, apparently, if you know do share) but like if we're assuming he's the same age as Clarrise/Dior then bros 18 at Luke's 19 meaning atleast in show cannon, maybe 17 at the time of release, but regardless ughhhh yeah Hermes moved on from May Castellan QUICK, possibly while like was like only a few months old. I'm just saying YEAH bro was busy doing God stuff and GETTING LAYED AND YOU'RE SLEEPING NEXT TO THE PROOF??? While you grew up fatherless and fending for yourself against you very mentally ill with no meds or some kinda assisted living situation mother, your dad had moved on with his life completely and had several other kids, AND NOW YOU'RE EXPECTING TO BE ROOMATES??? from Luke's pov FUCK LIN MANUEL MIRANDA!!!

Silco always pretendin any semblance of the man he used to be is long gone smh... I saw the fear in your eyes, faggot

[bonestrouslingbones]

branching off my tags from that last post because they got horrendously off topic and im trying to get slightly better with that but aaghgghg

for a while i was thinking that russ wouldn't have very many written segments from his own POV because he's supposed to be really mysterious and kinda shady to not only everybody else but the reader as well, at least to a certain extent. i wouldn't want to accidentally allude to certain events that could give away his whole deal, and also seeing things from his "eyes" could downplay some of the vagueness & strangeness of his character

but now that i've got a couple of his POVs under my belt i'm realizing i've written him in a way that works . pretty well for those things i think! because he's a character who very very intentionally does not think about the things that are bothering him, or even properly acknowledge or process when he is thinking about those things because he'd rather it be a passing mention in his stream of consciousness instead of something to really dwell on.

like with scenes like this, russ knows something's up. edge is somewhat okay at pretending to be normal, but it was still weird to bring russ out for drinks as a thanks for chasing off his brother, and now he's very intentionally ordering russ more alcohol after not saying anything when russ drank the glass that was supposed to be his, and after confirming that russ is drinking on an empty stomach

this is, objectively, shady as hell and russ isn't actually dumb enough to fall for it, despite how much i make fun of him lol. but he's still so deep in denial that he doesn't even try to question it. because even though he hates alcohol, he doesn't hate the distraction it gives him, and he does NOT want to acknowledge that he would purposely allow someone to manipulate him like this

this is also definitely why he's lowkey binge drinking and not at all bc my friends & i are all doing our 20s wrong and don't go to bars or drink like at all so google is my only reference for how people do that shit. its in character for him to binge drink anyway WHATEVERR

which is all word vomit just to say: i probably still won't give him very many POV fics because having as much as every other character definitely would chip away at the mystery surrounding him, or at least make him a bit less of an almost mythical figure in the narrative, but in the bits he does have i will probably keep writing him like this lmao

it's good to see that he's constantly thinking and floundering but i really want to have that balance between him being this kinda-crazy-but-mostly-normal-if-you-squint, borderline invincible, unbreakable leader figure from everyone else's POV, but then from his own he's just someone who got shoved into this position and trying to do his best in insane situations all the goddamn time and he's tired but if he ever acknowledges how tired he is he might not be able to keep going and everyone is counting on him so he's gotta keep fucking going forever and ever and ever no matter what

[kanameows]

hmm. niki settling into his new, food secure life and getting used to not constantly being filled with anxiety. niki having the energy to pay more attention to the world around him. niki feeling more upset and pissed off about things he would normally ignore but also feeling far happier far more often. niki finally being able to relax.

AO3 user honeyloop you are insaneeeee. My heart is aching the whole time I was reading ‘Need me then’ but for Lando? for Oscar? for Carlos? idek for who. I love how complex the feelings are. And the way I’m reading Osc pov yet still can’t figure him out. Need to put him under microscope. Ask him questions. Strip him bare by making him say thoughts he never voice out. That makes me wanting to read more! But maybe I can’t figure him out coz he knows what he wants but at the same time he hasn’t quite figured out himself yet. Or maybe my reading comprehension is just fked.

Love how Carlos’ entire being is just intimate asf.

“Then we stop, yes?” Just rip my heart out bro.

nooooo dear user completelyinsainz (incredible pen work w this name btw) stop the count. i will not have you doubt your reading compherension when oscar piastri is there with the most amount of contradictions they ever fit inside a twink....... this princess doesn’t have multitudes she has disorders 😔

he wants to be carlos he wants to be carlos’s. he wants to be held by him he wants to never need anyone again. he wants to show 0 emotions he wants people to notice all his emotions. he wants to be unreadable he wants to be known. he wants to be authentic so badly he wants to learn to lie all cool and cold. he wants to be a better guy he wants to sometimes be a girl he wants to be a third secret thing that’s neither.... he wants to have lando’s peter-pan nonchalance he resents lando BECAUSE of said nonchalance. he wants to have carlos’s self-control then he wants to LOSE control........

the list is endless and so are his therapy appointments. you are perfect & indeed if you could figure out what oscar wants? it would be a huge skill issue moment for me because i wrote that baby with 2 bars in mind: near-rabid longing & near-religious doubt

[insufferable-coolkid]

all the striders need hugs

im gunna give them all hugs. and put them under a microscope and study them like bugs. give them all bow ties and comically large lolipop.

but not Bro i dont like him

[lochlogie]

why are you shipping the Ratliff brothers? Like, you acknowledge that there’s grooming elements and stuff. I read your analysts. You come across as more intelligent of the lot, not that “hey omg they are rutting into each other and cumming” and stuff. Then why ?

Well one, "hey omg they are rutting into each other and cumming" type content makes me laugh, so I don't oppose that.

I don't "ship it" like people do in traditional fandoms (I'm so fucking different), which might even be an obsolete idea anyway. The White Lotus is an anthology, there's no point to "root" for ships to become canon, because we'll never see the characters again. And intellectually, I don't want them to end up together (I know they're not real and can't actually experience harm).

I do unfortunately relate to Lochlan more than any other character this season, and I do need Saxon really fucking badly, like every time he was with Chelsea I was jumping through the screen to suck his dick so Chelsea could escape. Do with that what you will. And full disclosure, I do have a history of being groomed by older men, so there's like, psychological shit going on I'm sure? I am the Lochlan watching the me get groomed by the tv show that is my friend.

And maybe I want Lochlan whump? Is that such a crime? The problem is that most of the content does not frame this as anything but like a coming of age romance with some darker themes (often played for comedy). But there's room for that.

I struggle to like unironically endorse it and get like super into it. There's still that wall within me that reminds me like... you shouldn't like this. And it's like, well no, and some stories or posts have genuinely made me feel uncomfortable with how little the implications are thought out. Stuff where Lochlan is showing clear signs of spiraling due to the psychological weight of all the gaslighting and grooming Saxon is doing, but the story doesn't frame it that way, and it's like fuck my asshole bro, he's really just a kid. None of this is fair. My Shayla 😭

But also the angst? The drama? The trauma! I want to put them under microscopes. I want to drill holes in their heads and see what's inside. I want to be the family therapist watching all the Ratliffs turn on each other, maybe because I've been manipulating them to that point?

I'm chill I fear. I "ship" saxloch in that I have no problem with all these people, who are just as intelligent as I am, and who are just as passionate about the show, shipping these characters. I want to encourage that, because that's the lifeblood of this fandom right now, and pretty much every Lochlan Defender ships it (bafflingly some Lochlan Haters too). And if I tag every post that has Lochlan and Saxon in it with saxloch to pander? I won't tell if you don't. Plus, like, you can interpret basically everything about them from as sexless as possible to full on doomed by fate incestuous vampire brothers or fucking whatever. There's room for everyone's takes. I like the content, any content, I need more content! I like seeing how everyone interprets these delusional brothers, all the subtleties as they tie into the respective themes that each author took away from the show. Some more than others, obviously.

So do I ship saxloch? You know I don't actually know. I think it all connects to some primal need to put Lochlan in a hydraulic press, but also to make him peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crusts cut off.

Really long roach rambling below...be warned...

Waiting 4 my fp to wake up and get online so I can give him a drawibg...staring at our dms like how a dog stares at the door waiting for their owner to come home from work....I am fucking mental inneed to be normal about this guy. Not even zesty or gay ahout him he is just very interesting. I wanna put him under a microscope like a little bug and pick him apart and examine him....I need 2 pluck his brain outta his nose lobotomy style and analyze it....not sure why I'm like this but i think he is very cool. I aspire to be his most dedicated cult member 😔 he makes mehappy. I do nawt knownwhy I think maybe its cuz i was in a sorta vulnerable state when I met him but I think he's very epic. Very gangsta. Ok im gonna b sappy I know I haven't known him for very long and maybe I'm just being naive but I feel liek I can trust him and I get him and he gets me. No homo. Like its so hard to explain infeel attached to him even tho I haven't even known him that long....I feel safe telling him about stuff like. Details about my past and present. Andnit makes me happy cuz im like. Pretty sure he actually cares. And other people do care about me but they're not as epik as him so they don't count (/hj) like I am mental about him. Sometimes I get scared ofnannoying him or scaring him away but then I remember that he's not like all those other assholes idk. Again ibhavent known him for that long but I liek him a lot (no homo) he makes me feel safe and happy....something about him feels so warm and familiar. Kinda like a moth with a dusty old lamp locked away in someones attic safely tucked away from all the sick bastards of the world. He literally became my best friend within a few days...having him around is helping me cope and take care of myself too because I have to take care of myself because inwanna be my best self for him. Again it's not even romantic immnot gay or anything...(well I am but nawt 4 him lol...or anyone rn for that matter tbh)something about him just feels so safe and welcoming and I love talking to him and hearing his voice and I love his art inlove his creativity i love his silly little white boy face...he reminds me of Damien but not in a bad way and I don't think it'll ever be in a bad way because like. I'm putting way too much trust into bro 😭 but whatever if I get fucked over its on me and ill accept it. I literally don't even know what else to say but i feel the need to go on because he's just so epik and cool and sawesome...but uh yeah im.gonna end this here cuz its really long anyways if anyone asks im normal.

I played the Ikevil prologue and the rest is downloading-

I like some of these characters ngl. They’re all weird in an interesting/awesome way, Cybird did a good job 👏

Thoughts/opinions under the cut

William seems like a really fun character. I LOVE the queen of hearts inspiration and his design is definitely one of my favourites. His power’s pretty cool, I’m excited to see what the drawback is.

Only thing I’m concerned about- I really hope he doesn’t use his power on the mc much at all in his route, that’d feel really creepy/uncomfy

Harrison I really like too, his design is eye-catching although not one of my favourites. I love the idea that he’s cursed with lying, that’s an awful curse to have and it’d be fascinating to see how the fact that he has to lie constantly affects him later on.

I hope that in his route MC starts to be able to tell the difference between his lies and not though, that’d even put the power dynamic a bit which would be good I think.

(But yeah as someone who likes mischievous boys he’s someone I’m keeping an eye on)

Liam I really liked bc he seems really nice but also really fricking impulsive. Bro needs a mum friend. I kiiinnda like the cat vibes. He’s definitely one of my favourites from the prologue at least.

I really hope the game doesn’t go too dark with the curiosity stuff after they mentioned what the previous owner of the curse did. That’s a bit too dark to happen to a LI for me.

But yeah, definitely a route I’m looking forward to playing.

Elbert’s design is really eye-catching too, I like how cold he looks - reminds me of ice in a way. I remember in the prologue he asked someone else if mc was beautiful so he might be blind? I’m not sure, it’d be really interesting to have a blind LI though. Or I could just be reading that wrong lol.

He’s one of the most interesting to me. He seems nice but quiet. I’d like to play his route at some point.

Alfons scares me. His design is pretty cool but I don’t think I’d be able to play his route. Sneaky man.

Roger just screams Trey mixed with Jade to me. His design is probably my least favourite, but it’s still a good one. I like the massive gun he has at all times for no reason.

Download page says he’ll stop at nothing for his research so I’m a little worried about his route. I hope he’s got enough Trey in him to be a decent person about that.

Jude is interesting. His design is comically evil looking and I like it. He’s kinda mean though. I’d play his route but only if he got a bit nicer throughout it.

Also, am I reading this wrong or is he inspired by Maleficent?? If so then it’s fascinating how there can be such different interpretations of that one character.

Anyway, I’m interested to see how his personality develops.

Ellis is bonkers and he’s fascinating. I want to study him under a microscope. His design is also one of my favourites. I definitely wanna play his route at some point just because his weirdness has intrigued me.

I really like the idea of a character inspired by the briar bushes in sleeping beauty. That’s such a cool thing to pick. I’m so excited to see how they interpret that.

Victor is actually one of my favourites. Probably one of my least favourites design wise (I’m not a fan of long hair) bUT his clothes are super cool.

He honestly just seems like he’s here for a good time and he’s a little childish. I definitely wanna play his route. Also, I love that his curse & what he’s inspired from is scratched out. I wanna find out what it is in his route.

All in all I’m super excited to play but worried bc this game is darker than the other ones I’ve played already so I might wait and see what other people say.

TLDR: William, Harrison and Liam I’m concerned about but interested in, Alfons and Roger scare me and I wanna study Jude, Ellis and Victor under a microscope. Looking forward to playing but I’m apprehensive of how dark it’ll be.

[yandere-romanticaa]

what do you think of merlin from fgo he's like a little gremlin i want to put him under a microscope

and if you've watched kaiju no. 8 what do u think of Hoshina

BRO he's so SKRUNKLY, I NEED him... He's actually the reason why I'm even interested in Fate in the first place, I'm down BAD.

Although, it kinda sucks how canon wise he wouldn't care for me because he doesn't really care for individuals.... Maybe, just maybe, I can be his favorite snack instead 😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺

Also, I don't know who Hoshina is, sorry!!

[mywitchcultblr]

i tried to look up any sort of instance/proof of tim downie (gale's va) being a bigot but couldnt find anything, could you provide a source for your post like you did the screenshot for dammon's va?

The bigoted part is about Dammon VA (bro following Libs of Tiktok account and other concerning accounts/views) Gale VA participated and starred in a pro zionist show. Some people said its not a big deal and nothing burger but as a muslim I'm not taking my chance here, I thought Jamie Lee Curtis was cool because she's pro trans but she gobble up zionist propaganda and is anti palestine

I refuse to simp any VA after the debacle with Cullen VA lmao. If Tim Downie coming out publicly in full support for Palestine that's great then my distrust would be dispelled but at the moment I'm not a fan

Being a muslim nowdays (and always been tbh) means you will have to put celeb that you like under the microscope just in case the person out of nowhere say you are a menace and a terrorist

No, I'm not attacking Gale fans, I love the guy myself but yeah its important to separate VA with chara just in case shit happen...

Also bg3 fandom need to chill a bit with the VA simping

[leidensygdom]

I love the unintentional theological commentary of "More closer to god than to human" being said by a dude who is all hyped up about a project until he actually needs to put time, effort, and resources into that project. A dude who sees absolutely zero value in art and beauty. I want to put this guy in a room with a priest, an imam, and a rabbi.

I want to put this guy under a microscope. I kept telling my partner this whole thing felt like a parody of itself. Like it couldn't be real. Except, well, it is, the guy is doing this unironically, he legitimately thinks this is all good. I'm puzzled in the worst of ways.

I know overall AI bros tend to be quite... wild to watch around, but calling your account "the next tolkien" is. idk. If I wrote a character like this for a book, people would be like "this is too exaggerated" "very unrealistic"

idk it was an unpleasant experience but it's also giving me a good laugh I guess!

[aweisz]

⭐ < Oh hey, what's this? I have to admit, i haven't been quite myself today and i'm simply spilling whatever is on my mind at 3am, hope you don't mind

Seeing your stuff constantly showing up on my dash [be it art, reblogs, shitposts or thoughts] makes me so happy, you have no idea. Your ghouls, ghenbys and ghoulies live in my head rent free and i'm so grateful for that delicious bit of worship that you put into each and every bit of your work. I've been craving the t4t&body positive swag for months, and in my eyes you already are one of the fandom's most notable ambassadors when it comes to that, believe it or not. It speaks to me in such an intimate way-

Don't know why do i even feel that connection in the first place, but as i already said not once, but many times, i wanna study your gigantic brain under a microscope, memorize all of your behaviour patterns and personality quirks because having you as a mutual and a friend really is a bliss and i want this to last

Bro you literally rolled a nat twenty charisma, i would bark for you if you even care

Anyway i'm just happy to be there to witness your flex.

WOAH OKAY OKAY (<- totally not tearing up because of this)

didn't need to hide behind anon tho 👀👀 (but i think i know who you are. hope you're doing better today <3)

im sooooo glad that my art speaks to you ughhh 😭😭 i wouldn't call myself in any way notable within the fandom but im honoured you think so

[softichill]

sorry I found mostly BFDI stuff. I found II ones today and I hope you are ready for an emotional punch to the trachea! Someone brought up Mephone locking people in a closet (and a cage) as him seeing mephone3 and thinking "oh! This is what you do with people you don't need anymore." and being shocked to learn this isn't how people behave. So I guess have some additional context to this fucked up AI. Such a good character. Where is the decompiler? I'd ask for the microscope but putting electronics under microscope isn't as useful as it sounds. I don't know if I've sent The Mind Electric by Tally Hall. The non reversed version. Bro could straight up sing that.

Dw I also am mentally ill abt bfdi!! My brain's just latched on to ii for now. And yeah I saw that post! World's most fucked up iphone4

Minutes by YOYLECAKE/Michael Huang!!! A cool techy song
