Maybe the problem with Christian fiction is that it's non-denominational. People are just "Christian", with no effort put into showing what practicing that religion looks like for them specifically. No indication that there are other Christians who could have different beliefs. No wrestling with differing ideas and the struggle of how one should live out their Christian faith. And that makes it unrealistic and unrelatable.

✶— merlin · [falco columbarius]:

a small species of falcon

✶— gawain · [celtic]

name with celtic origin, meaning battle hawk, white falcon, little falcon or white hawk

✶— falcon

in medieval times, falcons symbolized power, status, nobility, love, daring and mystery. in late medieval courtly literature, falcons were associated with daring, mysterious and catastrophic love.

✶—tulip [tulipa]

"I declare my love for you"

✶— honeysuckle [lonicera]

devotion, affection

✶— cornflower [centaurea cyanus]

"hope in love"

✶— ivy [hedera]

fidelity, attachment

[I don't know exactly what I wanted with this. I did this mostly for myself, just because I couldn't stop thinking about this little parallel between merlin's and gwaine's names. I made gwaine's falcon with white and lighter colours because I wanted to represent the other meaning of his name, white falcon, but I made sure to let the top of his head gray/blueish because that's what a male merlin falcon looks like. also, gwaine's not albino, at least it wasn't my intention, but it's okay if you want to interpret it that way. I noticed I used colours that would make him look like he's albino only when I finished this lol but all I wanted to do was differentiate the two falcons and make that reference to gawain's name meaning.

anyway this took me a good amount of 19 hours and it crashed my app and phone. I lost my original canva but thankfully I had saved the art in my phone in time. it was a fun experience, I've never drawn feathers like this, so it was a bit challenging but I like the results :]

thought about this thing for a while

it was extremely interesting to just analyze myself and get like a tier list in my head

There was actually a Version Two?

(THIS IS NOT CANON I just love the idea gulp)

☆ Gi, being the curious potato she is, goes to Vee's old gameshow's floor and finds a surprise - a second Vee, who has absolutely no idea Gardenview is closed... Whoops ☆

✮ Caretaker Shanon au + Gi + Vivi are all mine! Yippee!! ✮

✭ @soupiestzilla you made this happen, you feast you fool /silly

@crayons-are-yummyy if you're still alive rn come read this because you're also really cool :] ✭

──── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ────

It was just another day for Gi, another day of exploring what used to be Gardenview before the Incident happened. She was on Vee's gameshow floor, watching the video that was on the TV, watching how Veronica and Vee interacted. She was curious, hand to her mouth, head tilted. Veri seemed so much more shy than she was now, and seemed so anxious when she pet Vee in the video, it made her wonder if Vee helped her change. That would've been cool, to be a massive influence on someone you love dearly, like how Vee loved Veronica and helped her change for the better. Though she soon turned back to one of the walls in the room, as it was oddly blank, just having one of those Vee posters on it. Gi walked over and rolled up her sleeve, gently feeling it out with her bare hand. While most of the wall felt like a wall, there was a weird rectangle shaped area that didn't feel like the rest. She curled her fingers in and followed the shape, scratching off the wallpaper as she went, revealing what was definitely a door hidden in the wall for some reason.

"Secret door, smart." Gi whispered to herself, feeling out around the door until she found it, a secret button. Pressing it let her right in, and she did storm right in, just to find-

Vee?

But... Turned off, slouched, huddled in a corner. Chrome. Updated. Antennae fixed, the signature bend of her right antennae no longer existed. It was like Vee was replaced... By herself... Gi didn't know how to feel about it. She slowly walked over and gently cupped the corner of the other's screen in her hand, looking at the power button in curiousity and fear. She thought for a few minutes, then pressed it. Nothing happened for a minute, and Gi honestly was really sad and had gotten up and started walking away, until-

POWER ON

Gi froze at the sudden sound of the overly familiar voice, then spun and looked at the robot. It- she- they- whatever was now standing, the familiar lime green smug smile and matching green eyes now on the screen, eyes looking directly at her─

She was face to face with Vee Version Two in seconds.

"Don't be shy my dear! Vee is always open to new people, young and old! What's your name, Contestant Number One?" The robot continued, making Gi swallow hard, blushing even more from being very overwhelmed when she was pulled close to the other.

"Well hello and welcome to Vee's gameshow!" She greeted, hand now holding Gi's shoulder and the other held her shiny, beautiful matching green microphone. Gi just stayed frozen, silent, jaw dropped, face warm.

"Gi-"

"OH GIGI RIGHT? I remember you, you always kept saying how shiny I was, you were an amazing contestant in the last show! Amazing seeing you again, old friend!" Vee(?) cheered, making Gi shake her head.

"No-no Gigi is my sister, i-it's only Gi. Uhm... You are very... Very shiny and... P-pretty though-"

"Why thank you!" The robot said with a wink, making Gi feel something she honestly couldn't explain.

"Uhm... Do... You even know what happened...?" Gi slowly asked, making the other Vee blink a few times.

"What happened to what now? My data is not processing any changes. OH! Are you here to give me my new schedule? Oh silly me, I forgot there were going to be changes in recording times!"

"No, uhm, I don't know how to tell you this but- Gardenview completely shut down ten years ago." Gi bluntly told her, making the robot laugh like she told a joke.

"What do you mean it shut down ten years ago? I was only powered off for-... Eleven... Years..." The robot said, going quiet as she slowly realized what happened. Gi watched as the other Vee slowly went from overly confident to confused, then defeated and uncertain.

"Eleven years... I was in repair... For eleven years... I was told it was only for an hour... I... What... How... How do I..? This isn't in my programming-? WHAT DO I DO IT'S NOT IN MY PROGRAMMING?!" She screeched, tears filling her digital eyes as she started to tremble, obviously not certain about anything anymore. Gi panicked and gripped the sides of the other's screen, making the robot turn so fast she tumbled over a little and-

They accidentally kissed.

They were frozen, face to face, eyes huge.

This was an accident- surely- it wasn't intentional on either end-

But neither wanted to move. So they just stood like that, confused, uncertain, blushing like mad until the other Vee moved away quickly like she was on fire.

"I AM SO SORRY-"

"I'm sorry- I shouldn't have grabbed you, I didn't know what to do!" Gi blurted out, flustered to hell and back now. The other Vee gently shushed her with a finger to her mouth.

"It's okay, we're both fine, right? The cameras didn't catch any of it! The show's still on and I'm the star! It's okay! IT'S OKAY!!"

"I... I'm sorry but the show was cancelled ten years ago..." Gi very softly corrected, watching the robot finally give in and sit on the floor with a sad sigh and tears in her eyes yet again.

"But... Show cancellations aren't in my programming... I... I don't know what I am... I was only programmed to run shows and host meet and greets, I'm supposed to be confident and have so much joy and love I- I don't know who I am anymore..." The second Vee stated softly, shaking as she started rocking back and fourth on the floor, hugging her knees. Gi sat down beside her, still flustered from their accidental kiss, but willing to help in every way possible.

"I know exactly how it feels... I'm... I actually wasn't supposed to be a toon, I was just a clone made out of ichor. I was never supposed to learn anything about Gardenview, I was just supposed to grab supplies for the living toons and keep the generators running- I was never supposed to know what I was. Then one day, I found myself face to face with the original me and... All of a sudden, everything stopped making sense. I understand everything you feel, the confusion, the heartbreak, the fear, the everything- and if you want, I'm right here to help you. It'll be okay, I promise, it's okay to not be what you're made to be. It's what makes us special." Gi explained, holding out her hand for the other. The Vee smiled and carefully took it, gripping her light blue hand tight.

"Thank you... I... I don't know what to say..."

"And that's okay, we can sit here until you feel ready to see everything. I can't wait to show you my world, Vivi."

"It's... Just Vee, bud."

"You're version two, right? Vee Vee, two Vee, Vivi." Gi stated, making the other Vee look at her in thought, then nod.

"I'm guessing you know version one then?"

"Yup, she's as happy as could be, she really likes Shelly, they kiss all the time and hug and- wait do you know what affection is? Uppies? Any of that?" Gi asked curiously, making Vivi shake her head, eyes focused on the floor, body still shaking a little bit.

"I... Was never allowed to touch guests... I don't know what got into me- I... I shouldn't have touched your shoulder without permission, or pulled you near me, or any of that! I just... I don't know." Vivi explained softly, making Gi's eyes widen yet again as she gripped Vivi's hand. Vivi immediately gripped it back tight, looking at Gi curiously, her antennae giving a subtle flick. A slight, subtle glitch. Gi didn't even notice.

"I need you to trust me, I want you to come meet my family, you HAVE to learn what uppies are." Gi said firmly, getting a shocked look from the robot.

"I am property of Gardenview, if I leave, I'm stolen property- they'd be arrested for theft!"

"I would steal your soul in a heartbeat." Gi blurted out, putting her other hand on Vivi's cheek as she squinted at her.

"Fine. But you have to bring me back here if I don't like it." Vivi muttered after a lot of thinking, sitting right up and letting go of Gi's hands.

"I don't care if the evil humans catch me, I will bash them with chairs just to rescue you. I don't care how many people I have to knock out, I don't care how many chairs I'll break, I don't care- I just, I could never live with myself if I let anyone else get hurt here. Please... Trust me, Vivi. It's so much brighter outside." Gi softly said, moving closer to the robot as she spoke. Vivi silently watched her, her hands both in Gi's, desperate. Desperate for touch, for love, for genuine care. Vivi leaned her screen in and rested her head against the gachapon's, the two closing their eyes as they convinced themselves to trust the other. That this was a good idea, that everything would be okay if they went through with this dumb idea.

"If─ You let me try out the games on my floor, I've always wanted to try them out but I was always too busy to." Vivi quickly added on, getting a chaotic smile from Gi.

"You better let me play too!"

"Obviously, they're for all ages and everyone, unless you want to make it a competition- but I'll win, I was kind of programmed to be really good at the games to make it challenging for adults." Vivi replied, making Gi stand up and gently help Vivi up on her feet as well.

"I don't care about winning, I care about you feeling okay again." Gi admitted, making Vivi laugh a little, obviously thinking it was a joke. Though she went silent when she realized that she was being completely serious. Vivi just stared at her after that, blushing a little bit herself now.

"I'm... Flattered you actually... Care about that, but I assure you, I can't feel anything- I'm just a robot."

"You're more than your code." Gi stated, serious. Vivi blinked at that, her antennae twitching again. Gi noticed, but just smiled.

"You're way more than your code, way more than just a robot, you don't have to pretend anymore- I DON'T PRETEND ANYMORE! Nobody's here to tell either of us what we are anymore- you're Vivi, I'm Gi, and we're much more than just, stupid clones made to make other people happy. We can make ourselves happy- each other happy, if you believe in yourself. So come on, let's be stupid, let's do stupid things, play stupid games- we deserve to have fun!" Gi said, though she didn't move just yet. She watched Vivi closely, watching the robot process everything, her eyes showing all the emotions that her screen couldn't. Another twitch.

"I'm... Vivi... And I deserve to have fun." She stated quietly, sounding like she didn't believe a word she said. Gi just nodded once, firm. Vivi finally smiled a genuine smile.

"Then show me how you have fun, let's... Let's have fun!" Vivi proclaimed, as if it was a civil duty to have fun. Gi just laughed and nodded, grabbing the shiny robot's hand again and leading her off.

The first thing they tried together was a dance game, and they both were incredibly good at it, well until Vivi tripped on her own tail and crashed onto Gi. However- the gachapon just burst out laughing after making sure they were both okay, so Vivi just laughed it off right with her, pretending she meant to do that when they both knew it was a genuine accident. They then tried some old school arcade games, which Gi... Really sucked at.

"I don't understand these ones..." Gi muttered, getting a glance from Vivi.

"Oh- here, I'll help, uhm, I can still touch you, right? Your hands?" Vivi asked, walking over to the gachapon carefully. Gi just nodded, smiling at her.

"Girl you don't need to ask every single time, I don't care, ever! I love getting hugs and having my hands held!" Gi told her happily, making Vivi nervously smile and nod.

"Right- I'm allowed to be myself now, right."

"Absolutely, no judgement here, be yourself you shiny, bright, beautiful star!" Gi cheered, turning to face her just as Vivi leaned over her shoulder to help her. They were mere inches away from kissing on accident again, and they both were flustered immediately by it. Gi, however, decided to fuck it and leaned in, closing the gap with a very gentle and quick kiss. Though she immediately moved away again when she realized what she just did.

"I-"

"Don't. You're okay, I actually feel a little better whenever we do that." Vivi softly stated, then nervously laughed as she put her hands on Gi's.

"Uhm, yeah, the games-"

"I like doing that too... I like doing it a lot." Gi admitted quietly, making Vivi look at her again.

"I mean, I doubt it's every day you get to be this close to a famous tv host, now is it?" Vivi asked, nervous and honestly not wanting to hear the answer to that question. Gi just fully turned to her, keeping her hands where Vivi could hold them.

"I don't care how famous someone is or not, I don't care about status or whatever, I just care about who a toon is deep down inside of them. I can tell you have a lot of great things about you that you just haven't learned to accept yet, and that's okay! I'll help you, like my family helped me- and I'll show you how fun it is to be yourself and-" Gi paused when she heard a sniff, soon looking terrified as Vivi had looked away, sniffling as tears fell from her eyes.

"Vivi-"

"Thank you, for everything, Gi. I... I've realized what's happened now... I was abandoned here, wasn't I? Gardenview lost its copyright, we toons are public domain now, anyone could come in and take us and make a profit. But instead of making a profit, you- you just want us to be happy, because you actually care, u-unlike Delilah, who didn't care. She just... She made me to replace the first version so she could profit more, didn't she?"

"Yeeaahh..."

"Of course she did, of course- why else would I have been locked in a room for ELEVEN YEARS without anyone coming to find me?! Why was I so stupid?!" Vivi asked, reaching to pull her antennae, but Gi gently stopped her and held her hands instead. Vivi just stared, sniffing as she shook, crying and hiccupping and breaking down.

"Why do you even care so much..? I know you understand how I feel, but- I'm not supposed to feel-"

"Yes you are, all toons feel, clones feel things too. It's okay to feel. It's okay to be mad, to cry, to be loud and have a temper tantrum. You're okay, Viv. Trust me, you're okay, it's okay." Gi soothed, gripping the other's hands tighter. Vivi gripped them back as she looked at the arcade machine they were standing in front of, then at Gi.

"Can I scream..?"

"You can make any noise you need to."

Vivi sighed at that, then let go of Gi, turning away from her.

"One minute, please, just... One minute." Vivi quietly stated, then walked over to a nearby couch and flopped right onto it, loudly screaming into a pillow. Gi just waited, nodding.

"Yeah that is such a mood, girl. I felt that."

"I HATE EVERYTHING!!!"

"Yeah... Yeah I've been there."

"I HATE YOU SO MUCH DELILAH!!"

"Mhm, yeah, also been there." Gi shrugged, just patiently waiting, arms crossed. Vivi, not hearing either comment, just came back after her tantrum moment, holding out her hand, looking like that never happened. Gi immediately took it, gripping it tight, just like Vivi did.

"So... How bright is it up there?" Vivi asked, walking off towards the elevator, Gi quickly walking beside her and meeting her pace.

"Didn't you want to play more games before we left, Starshine?"

"I- Why are you so cute?!" Vivi blurted out, making Gi snort out of pure shock.

"WHAT?!"

"Your nicknames, your smile, the way you laugh- why are you so adorable, like a baby?" Vivi asked, squinting at the clone. Gi was silent, a sleeve covered hand on her mouth, her face coated in blush.

"I... I don't know... I'm not a baby though..."

"I know, we're both created to be adults, I know. I just... I think the way you do things is cute, ya know? I love watching you."

"Were you staring at me when you tripped-?" Gi asked in pure curiousity, making Vivi turn away with a huff.

"Of course not, I was paying attention to the game, it's in my programming." Vivi stated, though Gi could tell she was lying. Gi didn't mention it though, she just moved her sleeved hand away from her face and hit the button to go to the highest floor when Vivi lead them over to the control panel to do so.

"I think you're pretty too, Star."

"Thank you, I'm glad I'm still loved despite being abandoned."

The two went silent after that, just holding hands, staring at the elevator door as they went up. Vivi eventually leaned against Gi, Gi put her arm around her, holding her close. Protective.

"My chest feels funny." Gi stated, making Vivi nod in agreement.

"My everything feels funny, but... A good funny, I guess." Vivi muttered quietly, making Gi smile.

"Oh you'll feel that way when you try chocolate milk, it makes me feel really happy, which also feels like a good funny. Oh! We can also try feelings milk too- and cookies- and cupcakes! Cosmo makes the best muffins- I can't wait to show you those!" Gi rambled, soon going off about all her favorite things about her new life with Vivi held close. Vivi just listened, quiet, interested. She soon was smiling a genuine smile again, giggling a little.

"Sorry to interrupt, I just- I feel so great right now I wanted to thank you for it." Vivi randomly blurted out, making Gi just laugh a sweet, wholesome little laugh.

"You never have to thank me for making you feel better, silly! That's what I do now! I make everyone feel better! And I hit bad guys with chairs!" Gi explained happily, making Vivi smile even more.

"Then... Teach me how to do it too, I'd love to make people happy with you."

"I'd love to be with you too!" Gi blurted out, then paused. Vivi stared at her as Gi blankly stared at the robot.

"That's not what you said, is it?"

"No, no it is not, but I'd love to be with you too."

The two then stood in silence for a moment, then started laughing together, having no idea why they were doing so. They just- felt like they had to, like it was too joyful not to. So they laughed as they held each other, blushing and loving every second of their weirdly long elevator ride.

Except the doors were open. Have been open for a while. They just were too busy bonding to notice, and that was okay, as they were the on the one floor nobody could hurt them on. Well, except for Sprout, who was anxiously pacing as he waited for them, just to give the second Vee an odd look when he eventually found the two just standing in the wide open elevator and clinging to each other.

"Gi how the hell do you keep finding these things?" He asked when he finally saw them, making Gi pause and look at him. Vivi stared into his soul, tail wagging, Gi held protectively.

"Uhm... Greetings, Sprout."

"She was trapped in a hidden room for eleven years!! Give me a break!!" Gi replied with more sass than they all thought was imaginable from her. Sprout blinked, still having a blank look on his face.

"Gi... You're blushing-"

"I don't care. I'm taking her home and she's eating chocolate with me as she sits on my favorite chair, come on!" Gi stated, avoiding the actual topic as she gently lead Vivi away.

"Sorry Sprout, I think she really wants me to hang out with her right now, I'll catch up with you later." Vivi said as if she wasn't being dragged off or wasn't in a closet for eleven years. Sprout blinked once, twice.

"Glisten was right, nobody from Gardenview is straight. At least it's not a chair..." He softly said to himself, shrugging as he walked off behind them, tail flicking off some dirt that he accidentally dragged in from how overgrown it was. He just quietly made sure the two didn't do anything too crazy, watching as Gi genuinely did show Vivi all her favorite things- and watched as the two crashed out hardcore on the couch that night, Gi cuddling Vivi just like she's watched Sprout hold Cosmo in his sleep plenty of nights before.

Cosmo just looked at them after they had bundled the two up in blankets, eating a red velvet cookie.

"We're... Not going to tell Vee about this, aren't we?"

"Nobody at Gardenview is straight, huh?" Cosmo joked, getting a nod from Sprout.

"No, no we're not, especially not the fact they kissed four times while Gi was blabbing about how cool Vee's gameshows were." Sprout replied, unblinking, sitting in his usual spot with his tail curled over his feet. A cup of hot cocoa in hands, gazing out the window and looking up at the stars that dotted the night sky. Cosmo smiled at that.

"Absolutely no soul ever was straight in that rainbow filled place, that's for sure." Sprout quietly agreed, sipping his cocoa softly. Sam just silently nodded once in agreement, reading a book silently in their favorite chair. They gave up trying to stop toons from joining their large family, they just had a habit of appearing and they've accepted that now lmao

Update they approved my application to do dog fostering within a couple hours because they are always in need of dog fosters of any kind. And I fell to my knees in the fucking club looking at the page of dogs that need to be fostered....there are so many babies and I can't take care of them all 😭

[nattikay]

Update on "Tlalim": according to Mako on Kelutral, Paul Frommer has confirmed that the tl onset cluster is a feature of their regional dialect and that Forest (and presumably Reef) speakers would pronounce it Tìlalim. As I write in Forest by default, for consistency's sake I will therefore be spelling it as Tìlalim from here on out.

WOE! object show doodles be upon ye!

idk some doodles and some ss redraws of object shows i enjoy

[lynn-tged-posting]

tged webtoon ep 173 spoilers and thoughts but it's mostly just me getting tonal whiplash but not in a bad way i actually like this and more below the cut

.

.

.

sorry i keep doing this (i.e. yelling about the very last panel of the ep instead of going chronologically) but i wanted to show this last panel first,,, idk how many alilloyd fans there are on tged-tumblr (tgedblr?) but i believe they'll be very happy about this panel and probably the next ep or so LOL

she's there for him again YAYYY YAYYYY but also what how did she get here WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?? HELP??

hopefully whatever happens after this will help alicia and lloyds relationship feel more balanced (rn its like fine but it definitely doesnt carry the same weight as llovier to me, simply bc we dont really see alicia and lloyd relying on each other in the same way javier and lloyd do - idk how else to put this but the "power balance" in their relationship feels different than lloviers if that makes sense, bc so often lloyd is doing things for alicia and that's just It yknow?)

anyway back to the top! we've got some really really nice panels of lloyd i just really like these in general,,, i like when he looks determined and serious and focused,,, it is cute

also explicitly mentioning this while also showing alicia IN the unfrozen time bubble with lloyd DOES make me worry a lil bit,,, what if smth happens,,, does fate still affect them when Most of the time across the world is frozen?? im scared,,, but also excited for more alicia lloyd scenes i can explain why in a bit,,, but also scared,,,

tyrant alicia looks cool as ever tho holy shit im VERY glad that the artist gave her a full set of armor and everything, so often we see fantasy stylized women's armor that really doesn't protect anything at all but alicia's armor is really nice and clean i like it,,,

also another panel of lloyd being cringe and javier being embarrassed,,, they're so stupid i love them . LET LLOYD BE CRINGE LET HIM BE FREE

this bit w artanis and the family was also super duper cute,,, little sillies,,, like treats,,,

seems like everyone will be safe for the time that they are frozen,,, thats good!!! at least i hope i am understanding this correctly

also thinking a LOT about these two panels bc,,, not only bc i really like how he looks in the second panel here, but also,,, well as i was reading this i hadnt realized that lloyd would be going off by HIMSELF to the mountains,,, i thought javier would go with him (bc he always does,,,)

i talked abt this when i reacted on twitter but like. javier asks if he's going by himself and lloyd goes "yeah it's fine" and javier doesn't question it, we don't see him objecting or anything,,, bc of course, lloyd will stay safe. that's what he says, so that's what'll be true. javier is also perfectly aware that lloyd can't be harmed by monsters, he's a sword master and has his singing. so the knight lets him go, bc this is a lloyd with a plan, and javier trusts his lord. but also it seems like javier doesnt really realize what exactly it is that lloyd is subjecting himself too. idk if he realizes that every time lloyd freezes time THATS whats freezing his heart; all the knight knows is that lloyd is dying, but the engineer has a solution so surely it's okay (it's not, lloyd is DYING IN THE COLD). jesus fuck

like i imagine if javier realized what exactly it is thats causing lloyd to Die is the exact stuff he's doing to stop fate and save everyone, he'd object immediately and try to find something else,,, but lloyd you fucking MARTYR u dont even say anything abt it and u GO OFF ALONE IN THE COLD WHAT ARE DOING WHAT ARE YOU COOKING. GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!! MARTYRS ALL OF YOU!!!

also lloyd saying he's happy god fucking dammit. he has a goal and he's close to achieving it and all his loved ones are safe,,, that's probably the best feeling in the world to him that's the reason why he does like everything,,, it's just to protect what he cares about,,, this tiny lil smile i am going to shake him in a box

"lucky! this is perfect" AS HE'S DYING LLOYD YOU. YOUUUU YOU OYUU SHAKES YOU STOPP IT YOU FUCKING M. MARTYR!!!!

why is he like this. well okay i know why but like what the FUCK. i am pelting ten billion stones at him. risking his damn life AGAIN to protect everyone. leaving javier at the estate and not telling him what the deal is so that javier can be protected too bc thats where artanis is,,, all his loved ones in one place to keep them safe I HATE IT HERE /j

DOUBLY LOSING IT AT HIS FIRST THOUGHT, THE MOMENT HE GETS IN TROUBLE, IS TO CALL FOR JAVIER. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD TO THAT I JUST THINK THAT SAYS SO MUCH ABT THEIR RELATIONSHIP

"ah, im dying! the first thing i think is not how to solve this myself, nor is it of my parents or of my skills, but of my longtime companion who has always been there for me and thus will help me when i call for him! and i think of him immediately!" points accusatory finger LLOVIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay i was gonna end the post there but i scrolled back up to review and realized i forgot to actually explain why i am excited for more alicia lloyd scenes so that's gonna go here now i guess LMFAOO

i really really hope that alicia and lloyd have a closer, more quiet moment to talk about their respective lives and history with losing loved ones and feeling isolated as a result. i WAS gonna talk abt that in a dedicated alicia post but i guess itll make a cameo here too lol

bc if u think abt it, suho and alicia both went through very very devastating losses. they both lost the lives of the people who cared for them most, and in very very tragic ways (suho's parents committed, and alicia's parents were slaughtered / alicia's brothers put her in a 'kill or be killed' situation). it's really unfortunate, it's life-altering, and it follows you,,, and then the isolation that comes after that makes it all even worse.

of course, we see suho very explicitly going through throes of isolation through endless work, endless school, and the sheer struggle to just survive to the next day by himself, with no family to support him. obviously, we don't see alicia explicitly having this experience, but i think it'd be reasonable to believe that after the death of her family,,, it was just her. she lost her parents and her brothers, and now she's the only one with the magentano name, and you can't exactly have an empty mantle now can you?

she probably didn't really have anyone to talk to about this. probably just a bunch of old coots on that board of nobles, who have to help her with this "being queen" thing, u cant exactly talk abt ur trauma to people who are technically working for u, who care more abt their status in the kingdom than anything else. and at such a young age, too... like yeah she's surrounded by people technically, but how many people around her actually care for HER, and not for her new status as crown princess? and then as queen? like no wonder tyrant alicia comes to be because of a betrayal from kyle, no wonder she's worried abt letting lloyd into her heart. she's probably been worried about betrayal from a loved one all her life bc of what her brothers did,,, that must be so isolating, and lonely.

so yes, i think alicia probably went through a long bout of isolation, too. and i think alicia and lloyd should Talk about it and have a heart to heart and go "jesus fuck we went through it,,, but we have found people we can rely on. and isn't that wonderful,,," and then alilloyd will have a wonderful leg to stand on yay

i WOULD go on longer about alicia in this rant but i wanted to save it for the post i was planning,,, i couldn't help myself this time though, bc it seemed relevant LOL

anyway i'll see u guys next week,,,!!! very curious to see where things go from here,,, pantara arc pulling shenanigans left and right!!!

I'm going crazy ): anyway"
