#on opposite sides of the same war

In dnd 5e, if they're native to the plane you're on, then they go to a harmless demiplane for one minute. It is literally just "alright you've been bad, go sit in timeout" and then they just thwoop to what I can only hope is a demiplane full of people who are currently being banished. Like just one collective timeout room for all the multiverse's meanies.
i think banishment is the funniest possible spell you can cast on someone. like i'm not even going to fight you. YOU'RE going to go away. you have no choice.
#this actually could make a good romance story#two adventurers get sent to the harmless demiplane coincidentally at the same time#although they only have a minute the chemistry is instant#then they get sent back into the war they were previously fighting and see eachother again#on opposite sides of the same war

Why Lance is fire and Keith is water
A big mischaracterization of Lance is that he's not a fiery guy, when in fact his personality resembles fire in so many ways. He's hot-headed, far more than Keith, and that's something that's easily missed because Keith is such a reactive guy. Majority of the fights between Keith and Lance are started by Lance. Lance is also quick to always call out bullshit. He's very passionate about what he does and he always has something to say.
Lance has a temper and I think its so crucial to his character and his dynamic with Keith because without it, their relationship becomes a lot more mellow. Most of the time Keith is just standing like an NPC and Lance will get irritated by that and have something to say, hence causing a fight. Lance has the fire, always has, and it simply reflects on Keith.
I'd like to second this point by saying Keith's personality resembles water. Not that he's completely chill and passive, although he can be. But he's extremely turbulent and malleable. If Lance will start a fight he'll match the energy-he'll shape himself into a fighter. Keith has always been moving around from place to place and he's always had to mold himself into what's most suitable for survival, the same way water clings to a glass. He's got a lot of emotional conflicts within him. The fact that Keith's characterization is very similar to water is also alluded to in the fact that Lance is very drawn to both the ocean (water!) and Keith alike. He can't stop pursuing either.
Now I'm not saying that Lance and Keith are opposites when I call them fire and water because I don't think they're opposites at all. Both can grow/spread to great lengths, both carry a storm, and both can also be kind and gentle and necessary to live (ex: a fire provides warmth and water provides sustenance). Water can fuel fire, the same way Keith grows Lance's fire. Fire can also make water steam and boil, the same way Lance makes Keith react. If the water is greater than the fire, the fire will fizzle out; but if the fire is greater than the water, the water will evaporate. They'd have to be on equal levels for this cause-effect relationship to work. And Lance and Keith have always been on equal level (despite any internal insecurities). They always been neck to neck.
Keith and Lance had great characters that could've been explored more. Regardless of if you ship them or not, they had the potential to be very well written foil characters. Unfortunately that didn't happen :(.

You know something that I hate? Most of the fandom seems to randomly blame Luke for all the deaths that happened during the Battle of Manhatten like he personally sliced everyone's throat outta nowhere, despite Luke being canonically posessed by Kronos and having no agency in any of that. Yet people treat Percy helping to blow up the Princess Andromeda and killing hundrets more than the TA ever could like a huge W or they just ignore it. Talk about hypocricy.
#and no#it doesn't matter that Percy told one demigod minutes before the explosion went down to flee/get off#they were in the middle of the ocean#right before the whole thing went up in flames#there was NO CHANCE anyone could have gotten off or saved themselves because of that warning#it was literally worthless#as it stands both sides killed eachother because they were in a war and on opposite sides#which is simply how war works#so either start treating everyone with the same scrutiny#or treat everyone with the same indiffrence#pjo#luke castellan#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo fandom bs

community that has only seen themselves represented in a small handful of romance stories that aren’t explicitly about their real-world oppression, watching a new show or movie where they are represented in a romantic story that isn’t explicitly about their real-world oppression: getting a lot of “that other show with a queer romance that isn’t explicitly about real-world homophobia” vibes from this
#ofmd#our flag means death#good omens#good omens 2#gentlebeard#blackbeard#aziracrow#txt#og#mine#listen i love pattern recognition as much as the next person but please. please.#the similarities between ed/stede and azi/crow are SURFACE LEVEL#the relationship dynamics are VERY DIFFERENT#one is opposite sides of a war and sworn enemies whose lives are dedicated to The Mission who accidentally fall in love#the other one is two incredibly lonely men who have never had a real friend meeting each other later in life and becoming instant besties#they’re not the same!!! AND THIS IS A GOOD THING!!!!!!!!!!#like do y’all really want all your queer romances to be the same goddamn dynamic over and over again?????#that’s stupid! you should want your diverse romances to be DIVERSE!!!!#go/ofmd both have fancy silly blond man paired with a goth who wears dark clothes#and they both had. very tragic end-of-season cliffhangers due to the blond man’s internalized emotional hangups#but stede/azi are very different characters. and it’s ed/crowley are also very different characters#and their romances! are very different from each other!!!!!#i GET why the comparisons are being made but man they’re getting annoying lol

Friendly reminder:
MARGARET OF ANJOU WAS NOT PRESENT AT LUDLOW OR WAKEFIELD
#not this nonsense again please#margaret of anjou#wars of the roses#my post#It's certainly true that Margaret acted as the leader of the Lancastrians when Henry VI was absent via imprisonment or otherwise#(and was active when he was present as well although I personally believe her exact role is ambiguous and ultimately up to interpretation)#But she was not a military commander and certainly not “a soldier” (???) She was not present for and did not participate in any battles.#We know that she was generally found a short distance away in nearby castles or towers awaiting news of the battle's outcome#Also this person thinks Elizabeth Woodville “betrayed” Margaret and the Lancastrians by marrying Edward IV#which is genuinely ludicrously absurd#HER FIRST HUSBAND LITERALLY DIED FIGHTING FOR THE LANCASTRIANS??? Her father and brother were imprisoned & humiliated for the same reason??#Like..literally what more do you want them to give lol? It's not like their family was prominent/influential at Henry VI's court in any way#(quite the opposite)#Also idk why people and even historians keep assuming the Woodvilles switched sides to the Yorkists only after Elizabeth's marriage?#It is explicitly clear that they did that in 1461 shortly after Towton. Her marriage had nothing to do with it.#okay rant over bye

#and then… it will be time for me to say goodbye i think#some darkstar politics in here#driven by an essay I read last year titled tinted blue: Air Force culture & American civil-military relations#everyone has a different idea of what modern warfare will look like#1 & 2 are from the same section obviously… i just think it’s interesting#& i wrote elsewhere in may maybe that ice & mav would be on opposite sides of this debate#ice with his big picture managerial perspective… it’s good for warfare… mav with his specialist pilot loyalty POV#obviously their conversation predates the russia-ukraine war which has shown drone warfare in its fullest to date potential#4. is… idk. does it help to tell you it takes place in 2014?#3. *#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#icemav#top gun#top gun maverick#top gun fanfiction#sorry for the like defense ethics conversations if that’s boring#i just think that stuff is philosophically so interesting

i LOVE being denied basic human rights lets bring that back
People love to go “ in the Soviet Union they picked your job for you 😭” yeah cunt that’s what we’re doin now too except they make you bark like a dog for three weeks straight first getting denied everywhere you wanna work until you end up somewhere you dont like anyway. Let’s just cut out that middle man why don’t we
#you american brained fans of soviet union dont know shit#america is a dystopian place but yall are so eager to jump from one tyrrany to another simply because you think that if ussr was usas enemy#that means it was the total opposite of your shithole#and as such infinitely better#no you dumb bitch#during the cold war the america WAS better#its just yall turned it into a fucking dystopia#“let them pick the jobs for us so we'll have jobs!”#yeah it dont work like that. you aren't getting shit.#you are getting a job on the other side of the country IF you are getting any job at all instead of waiting for 3 years#they dont pay you almost anything becausr why would they? you have no choice but to work there#also all the businesses are owned by the state#YAY!#except that means that a couple privilidged bastards that occupied like 15 countries own EVERYTHING there#and also you are not allowed to own a business even if you wanted to#no selling prints on etsy! fuck you#oh and also! the reason you are getting the job on the other side of the country is so the govt can control the population#and move people of the same ethnicity away from their home and vice verse#so they will have shuffled the populations around so that your country is not your country anymore#and then they can crack down on your language and traditions bc its no longer your country! see 100k people they moved in?#now those people are also the population and cant understand your language! so we cancel it lol

nanami kento is known to have a habit of crossing his legs when he sits. when he's reading, or just idly thinking. it's just something he does unconsciously, often time he doesn't even realize it himself.
yet this quickly changes after he got together with you.
now, everytime you come into the same room as him, the man quickly shifted his legs back to a regular position; you know, just in case you want to sit on lap.
fine, he wants you to sit atop of it.
this is all because he had the mistake─one he'll gladly do over and over, of experiencing it once.
the feeling of your body pressed so close against him while you ramble on about absolutely nothing, which he listens to intently with a smile on his face; his hand running along your hair ever so softly while he hums once or twice as response to your animated chatter.
and then you rested your head on his shoulder after getting a bit tired, your strands tickling his neck in the best way possible. his hands moved smoothly to your sides, rubbing up and down. all soothed and relaxed, nanami loves the sight of you being so comfortable near him.
you probably couldn't get closer to him more than this could you? he thought, as he held you tighter nonetheless. he felt content, whole.
so yeah, in short, nanami wants you to sit on his laps.
and with how fast he does it too there's no way you don't notice the subtle change of how he sits lately. yet you don't have the heart to point how obvious he was being, so most of the times you just indulged him, no questions asked. although it's not like it wasn't enjoyable for you, it was the opposite.
not to mention the smile he wears everytime you do it... it's enough to make your knees go weak. a smile you'd go to war for, a smile that's worth doing anything he's asking for.
it seems like nanami isn't the only one who has a new habit, then.

(Tags only directed to previous as they are a moot of mine)
sorry i'm just a man and can only spare one set of clothes per drawing
me when someone experiences voilence and the lesson they learn is kindness
#Very interesting in deed! But I always liked the “always kind and more on the pacifist side- just not to the same extent” approach!#For like so many reasons#One of them is: To me this approach feels more like it actually takes away from his character and the overall themes of EPIC#But also because it seems to lack reasons on why: why would he have been? And why should he have been?#There’s just not much that supports it- if he was it’d have been talked about extensively#as those directly pertains to the over arching themes#but as it stands Polites’s entire plot purpose is to be overly merciful as the opposite of Poseidons excessive ruthlessness#The war most definitely caused him to be that way#but he didn’t HAVE to have been some violent killer for that#he could’ve just been a kind man forced into a position he didn’t want (a war soldier)#and forced into doing acts he didn’t want to do (because there is no other choice in war)#All of which are..well basically indirect themes of EPIC’s#it mirrors Ody’s own journey: they are trying to cope with the fact they had little control or agency in problems such as these#that these choices was hardly ever theirs#but they are the ones who have to deal with the aftermath#when you think about it that’s really all EPIC is
