[ SWEET BUN TRIO ]

She stops herself from popping the middle bun with mere moments to spare. The storm must have swept away her logic alongside beauty, otherwise there was no way she’d end up with this trio of pastries in hand. Even if her stomach is speaking louder than her mind, there are so many other options of cuisine to dine on.

Although…the sweets may be far from her tastes, but they do look cute in presentation. It would be a waste to simply dump them, and placing them back would only meet her with even more awkward looks tonight. The best option would be to give them to someone as a gift, but who could possibly…?

The answer miraculously comes into sight in the form of a grim raven. With no hesitation, Sonya pivots to face the black-dressed lady eye-to-eye and holds out the plate of sweet buns.

“Here. Take one, two, or three of them, Three preferably,” she immediately offers, pushing the plate subtly closer and closer to the lady. Most other women liked the sweetness of these things, even if the taste was long-lost to Sonya herself. She couldn’t picture anyone better to settle the buns with.

“Oh, also,” she quickly adds on, pulling off a turtle charm from her bracelet and setting it aside on the plate. “Not for eating. Just thought it’d look good on you, dear.”

Ishtar has had enough of the ballroom. She looms near the corner, obsurcing sight and hoping the night draws near. There's too much ups and downs, too much uncertainty in the whisper of this eve. She cannot hold it in any longer. Her body grumbles with the frustration of one ready to give in. The ocean was certaintly pleasant to look at yes....but now she'd like a break. Performing the spectacle of Ishtar was not an easy task.

And so she overshadows the ball, a tufted bird with no vendetta to exact. Ishtar stands with increasing anxiety, hands and fingers unable to contain the underlying tension. But no. She was a princess. 

The arrival of a stranger is always swatted away. Ishtar is ready to seethe and scratch, but the woman does not appear suggest much menace.

A sweet bun?

The item is plopped into the princess' hands. Just like that, the thunder mage had no idea she was hungry. She stares at the item, its soft texture and fullness, and wonders if its okay to start eating. Then again, why did this woman gift her food?

"For me?" Ishtar asks. "Why?" A glance is all Ishtar needs to know that the woman is not dressed to the ball's standards. It would only anger her more if this woman was taking pity on her for some reason or other.

But she doesn't have much reason to refuse at this point. Ishtar settles for taking a piece of the sweet bread and tasting it. It has a pleasant subtlety she can enjoy. Just when she thinks the woman is done, she offers her charm.

"Well, thank you," the thunder mage responds. "You must have good taste. I suppose I should offer you my charm as well." Retrieving her allotted charm, she hands it to the woman.

"Your name?" Ishtar nearly demands. "We might as well get acquainted."

It's unusual for Ishtar to venture too far from the abyss. Her internal alarm system has already registered that far too many from Jugdral are here. Not that she's feeling particularly bad about herself, mind you, but she'd rather soak in the darkness of the Abyss than face others' anger and frustration. The whole thing Ishtar feels is a general numbness about herself and her actions, running through her whole body like a slow, debilitating river.

Perhaps that's why she decides to leave for a change. The numbness is all-consuming, choking even, and it frustrates Ishtar that anything should control her. She needs to feel something. Anything. Well, it's not as if she's particularly well-versed in the monastery by now. Or if she even has a preferred dwelling spot. She simply is here, the academy being some sort of cage.

Ishtar stops in the marketplace, but glassy violet eyes take no interest. In her past life, she had all the riches and glamour at her disposal. Now, she desires nothing. She eyes the area slowly, but casually shopping students and faculty only serve to irritate. That is when Ishtar notices a familiar face out of the corner - one who stands out, nonetheless. The princess merely watches for a moment, but Sonya is far too keen to only be watched, turning around and matching her gaze.

"Nothing special," Ishtar says, arms folded, and tapping her fingers against an arm. 

"I'm hardly so delicate," the princess continues. "Yet what are you here for?" It interested her far more than topics of herself. The mage's gaze turned to the stall beside Sonya. 

"Looking for dresses?"

I feel like Ashrah would unironically hang “live, laugh, love” in her room or something, not knowing how socially unacceptable that is

any mk character goes "Why does Kenshi call you baby girl?" but instead of asking to stop talking , Johnny starts rambling about how much Kenshi loves him for five hours.

Completely unrelated but -

(@lumeha your WIP made me think about the nonsense that is SS' final boss again with the crest stone shards lol)

I find it pretty irksome, but in a "this shows where our priorities are", that the only routes where the game lampshades how people turning in Crest Beasts is a tragedy in the post TS are the two BE routes, but not in the way we could "legitimately" expect.

Far from blaming Izuka for turning Laguz in Feral Ones, or Ashnard for using them, instead, the game puts emphasis on the Faerghan soldiers (especially Dedue!) who, in a bout of desperation to protect their land and loved ones from an invasion, turn to this "method" to fight, willingly risking everything to protect Faerghus.

Of course we can't ask Ashnard to give any fucks about Rajaion especially when, in this route, we hold his hand, but it's pretty telling that something that was seen as upsetting (and revolting?) in the Pre-TS, inflicted on unwilling participants, is now shown as a tragedy suffered by pretty much willing participants, who prefer to suffer through this than bow the knee.

The other instance - completely WTF of an instance may I add - is SS's finale, where it's revealed that Rhea apparently gave her blood and shards of her crest stone (???) to cardinals : when she goes berserk, it triggers their transformation in white beasts - who roam around to crit you protect her.

Again, we're not blaming Izuka for the entire feral ones nonsense, despite fighting him a few maps earlier, but this time, the transformation in a feral one happens out of nowhere, and is apparently a corollary to dragon degeneration (which, in this game and for the so-called first designed route, isn't even explained!).

The tragedy here is centered around Rhea, and somehow, minibosses spawn because they must - but doylist wise, the tragedy of their transformation is tied to the tragedy that led to Rhea's mental breakdown/suddenly going berserk (which will never be explained, with the 1 000 figs question of why Rhea is going berserk in SS, but not in VW or in AM...).

Basically, the games pushes a "isn't it so sad that those people are turned in demonic beasts" in CF and SS, when the transformations are either willing by people who want to protect their country, or unwilling as an unforeseen consequence of a dragon becoming berserk.

But as soon as Flamey's mask falls, the game completely drops the "isn't it so sad that those people are turned in demonic beasts because someone wants to weaponise them to conquer the continent?".

Pour one for Waldo and Baldi I guess, they're not Faerghans defending their country or cardinals becoming cray-cray because the plot demands it, so the Fodlan cast can never care about them :'(

I’m sorry not to be mean but never have I ever met myself with anyone making a comment about anyone at the gym, I wonder if that’s actually a thing? People here are actually really chill (?) and everyone cares only for themselves because they go there for a reason. The only comment I might think of would be “omg they’re hogging the machine I want a turn”.

yeah i did this because that’s what anon wanted in the ask. people say stuff maybe not at the gym but more in general i was just writing what the request asked for

i really don’t have that happen ever but i know people outside of the gym who say stuff like that sooo…

I'm not sure why i never thought of it before but can you imagine Johnny Cage out on the picket lines for the WGA/ SAG-ACTRA strike showing his unwavering support:

Johnny walking the picket lines, taking selfies with the other striking members.

Ordering a catering service to feed the strikers.

Organizing paid sparring matches with the funds going back to helping fund the out of work writers and actors.

Cage Movie pickets gathering the actors, production staff and crew.

Also let's not forget Sonya being quietly proud and helping organize things when she can. Cassie helping her dad make signs with witty slogans and walking with him.

[lesbianraskolnikov]

I dont understand peoples confusion around how the people around rodya loved him. He just had the four he was not wildly popular. For one. I think his family still loved him because something was obviously wrong. But also thats his family I don't think they're going to start hating him because he suddenly lashed out and wanted to be alone. I feel the general consensus is that something was obviously wrong and that everyone could be forgiven so to speak. But i just dont get why this is baffling.

The real question is do I use this new aasimar design I have for Sonya or do I keep her as a human and make a *new* character

I know it's not the point of the specials but I'm kinda interested in whether Sylvia has a bf now. In the original series Donna's dad had canonically just died because the actor unfortunately died of leukemia. So obviously then it wouldn't be a priority for her at all but she was still in her late 50s/early 60s then and hopefully will continue to live for a lot longer, so she may get lonely you know?

Personally I'd love to see her running an old ladies clique like Minnie the Menace. That bitch would whip up the pensioners like the fucking navy

Anyways here is the official gofundme set up by sonya masseys surviving family if you have the ability to give her family real tangible support
