#why else would she get along with them so well

[odalismus]

Yep. Because what no one talks about is the hostility detransitioners who did so because they realized it was insane and mentally damaging face

That was me and NO ONE wanted to accept my reasons. They were fine with me detransitioning, but when they asked me why and I told them the truth (usually in a diplomatically toned-down way, too, because I already knew how they'd react), they lost their shit. They're fine if you detransition as long as you swear you're accepting of and encouraging of trans ideology for other people. I had MULTIPLE people get AGGRESSIVELY hostile for me truthfully answering a question THEY asked about my own reasons and lived experience and most of these weren't even trans people.

I didn't plan on talking about this on this blog because tbh I hugely regret having been caught up in it in the first place but I think people deserve to know the flip side of these "statistics." One of my friends said "oh, did you do it because you feared for your life?" When I said no, she persisted, and I told her I thought it was unhealthy to see your body as wrong in that way and I can no longer support it. That made her very angry and demanded that I say trans people are valid and I said no, I said what I said and I think it's unhealthy, and I am not out there getting in people's faces telling them what to do but I cannot endorse that. She didn't like that answer. My friend would rather believe I was forced to change my life against my will because I feared for my life than to accept that I just didn't believe in the rhetoric anymore and couldn't in good conscience go along with it.

Now, ironically, because I have masculinized traits, people assume I'm trans NOW. Arguably I'm in much more danger from transphobes now than I was, just because they assume this. But when people make these assumptions, it's annoying, of course, and a frustrating reminder of a terrible mistake, but it does not threaten my identity, because I know I'm female whether they believe it or not. And I think it's extremely telling that these trans people and their defenders are so fragile in their "identities" that even knowing that someone out there does not agree with the house of cards their ideology is dependent on threatens them so much they can't bear it. They know, deep down, they are not really what they say they are.

Unfortunately for me, I have no support, because people either want me to declare that I am pro-trans anyway or else they're radfems I disagree with for other reasons. It would have been much easier to stay transitioned and THAT is not talked about AT ALL. I passed perfectly well and all my documents were changed. I'm 6 feet tall. No one knew. But I could not do it, because it was wrong. I can't even change some of my documents back to my birth sex because Trump's poorly-written law saying that federal documents must reflect birth sex was ACTUALLY written in such a manner that no markers can be changed for any reason and so the markers that had been changed can now not be changed back. It would have been a hundred times easier to stay as I was. No one is interested in my conscience or my reasons or my experience or in supporting me. They are only interested in the same thing they always were, which is gratifying their own fragile mental illness.

I see many of these people as victims but they also manipulated me when I was vulnerable and I hate that. So many people were so much happier to tell me I was "born in the wrong body" and ought to change myself dramatically and NONE of them, not a single one of them, helped or even acknowledged the reasons I had those problems in the first place, the trauma and all of the shit that was actually wrong in my life. I accept my own responsibility for my own choices (which is much more than they can do) but it infuriates me that talking points like this go around without it even crossing anyone's mind that it isn't true. It's evil and self-serving and I wish the people who spread this would go to jail for the harm they do to vulnerable and impressionable people. And that's not even getting into the consequences like health and fertility. It's not a coincidence so many of the women sterilizing themselves (which I never did, fortunately) are white women who have been made to feel their problems don't matter and they don't "count" because they're white. It's evil that we are telling lonely men that they ought to become women rather than getting to the root of why so many feel emotionally unfulfilled in the first place, and why so many women have experienced sexual trauma and sexism that they feel it would be easier to become men. It's evil and demented and narcissistic that we allow these people to tell children it's possible to be "born in the wrong body," or that because they like things stereotypically associated with the opposite sex that they must BE that sex, just to gratify their own delusions. I think the people facilitating this should be prosecuted. I think they should be fucking shot. This is a cancer.

It's funny how every evidence-based study finds this exact same result. Where is the flood of detransitioners we were promised years ago? Where are the whistleblowers of doctors "forcing" teens to transition? That's right, they don't exist.

would you consider writing a sakura haruno! reader 🤨❔(mostly because a wanna see readers version of sakuras inner self considering younger sakura was so much more hotheaded and strong willed in her head than she actually presents herself to be plus i always found sakuras inner self relatable since i would usually try to ignore or stay calm when people are being rude especially cause of my interest but im causing havoc in my head )

BACK IN THE DAYS USED TO DEFEND SAKURA WITH MY HEART AND SOUL

Bio: Sakura!Reader, the rest of the batfamily think your just to sweet wait still they hear what's inside there little sisters head

"Sorry, [Name], you can't go on this mission. I'm afraid it's too dangerous." Dick says, trying to face you from the Batcomputer. Isn't that sweet? She thinks you're some type of weakling. You can't take on the villain of the week. "Cha! Who does that circus freak think he is, drenching me when Damian gets to run around with swords all night?" you wanted to scream. "It's all right, big bro. I'll just be a liability, you know, ha! Sometimes my strength can get the better of me. I'll make sure to get out of your way!" you said in a sweet, soft tone, a smile on your face as you cocked your head to the side. Dick was none the wiser; he thought that was just a cute little quirk you picked up from your time training with Lady Tsunade. Little does he know that you're actually pissed off, and you're this close to smashing his face into the pavement. But you can't do that. You can't. The overwhelming feeling to strangle him was creeping up on you. It's been like that ever since you were little; your passionate emotional control—maybe these were traits a young woman could not have and should not have. So instead of embracing them, you let them go and hide them as much as you could. You wanted to connect; your adopted family made you needy. You shouldn't show your anger when Jason calls you weak and dramatic. These emotions are not for a young lady—not at all. So you hide them discreetly and as best as you possibly can. They won't see your rage, they won't see your passion, and they won't see your fear, but they will feel it under the pressure of your fingertips.

"[Name], come watch this show with me! It's called Bridgerton, and I think you would like it a lot," Jason asked, pulling at your arm. Is he serious? The man's been making fun of you for watching that show, but now he wants to watch it with you. "Cha! Who does this bastard think he is, first neglecting me, making fun of the things I like, then liking them? I should beat him to a pulp for that!" You're this close to grabbing his arm, flipping him over, and smashing him into the hard wooden floor. But instead, "Oh really? I thought you didn't like that show?" you asked with a soft giggle, acting like your blood pressure isn't skyrocketing. "Well, I gave it a try, and I want to watch it with you now!" Like there aren't six other people in this house he could have watched it with. "Cha! Go ask Penis or something, ya loser!" you wanted to say so badly. You cocked your head to the side. "Huh? Why can't you ask Dick?" putting on a winning smile. "I don't want to watch it with Dick. I want to watch it with you," he replied gruffly. "Cha! I'd rather die!" the inner you scoffs. Meanwhile, the outer you responds, "Yes!" like a happy chirping bird. "'Ukht! Come and paint with me!" Damian orders, the brat he is, pulling on your hoodie. "Cha! Who does this brat think he is? After all the times he was rude to me, I think not!" But instead, you back down to be at his eye level. "Sorry, Damian, I have to study," the lamest excuse to ever exist, but your little brother insists sadly. "Don't care! I wanna paint!" God, why does he sound like such a baby? "Cha! Didn't I just tell you I was busy? Run along, ya little brat!" If only you could punt him like a soccer ball. "Alright, alright, we'll paint," you said, finally caving even though you'd rather do anything else than spend time with that little demon. After he called you "flat-chested," he's now worse than the Joker. "I know you can't draw to save your life, so I'll be helping you out, okay?" he said in a little snotty voice. "Cha! I bet I could paint better than you!" No, you can't, but with your ambition, you'll try.

"[Name], can we talk?" Bruce asked, holding out a gentle hand to you, even though it was calloused with small cuts. "Cha, I’d rather die than spend a second with you. Old, I bet you feel guilty; that's why you're doing this." You felt your blood vessel might burst if another person asked you to spend time with them. You swore they probably have a schedule for when they can hang out with you; they are seriously trying to make up for lost time, even though you could care less. "Oh, I don't know..." But the second his eyes darkened, that’s when you had to drop whatever excuse you had and actually talk to him, apologizing about how he left you alone, that other stuff. But you could feel deep down that his apologies were half-baked and ready to melt. "Cha, yeah right. I’ve heard better apologies from YouTubers." You sucked your teeth just to put on a soft smile for him and say that you forgave him. Deep down, you would never forgive this man, father or not, and the same goes for the rest of the Bats.

Cassandra was trying to tell you that your dance was all wrong, like you could just crack her head into that training mat. Yeah, right. Stephanie was trying to bond with you by getting your nails painted; if you can recall, last time she called those things "girly." "Cha, get a load of her." Tim was trying to correct you over the littlest things, helping you even when you didn’t need it. "Cha, get off my back, nepo baby." Dick was trying to be the big brother, even though he was off in Blühaven doing whatever, like always. "Cha, drop the act; we both know you just feel guilty." Duke was trying to bond with you over the simplest things, like you grew up under a rock or something. "Cha, of course I know what TikTok is, you Duke Dennis wannabe." Barbara was watching you and your every move. "Cha, she's trying to be sneaky, but I saw that camera in my room. I'm going to destroy that thing in front of her face." But in reality, you just threw it out in the garbage. How dare they try to get close to you? You're not their little soccer plant that can just be neglected and then have them come back when it’s all withered away. You'll grow and thrive on your own; you'll water your own roots with your tears if that's what it takes.

Y/N smiled a bit before putting her phone down to go back to writing. Head blanking as she looked at the song title and what lyrics that has been written down.

‘swimming’

It wasn’t a good title but it was something to put there as a placeholder, looking more at the lyrics, Y/N ends up crossing them all out before tossing her notebook aside. She told her manager that she would write her songs on her own this time. “No one noticed” was the start and thankfully the fans love it.

but what’s stopping from writing now?

writing has never been a problem, especially when it comes to songs, maybe it’s because everything being written, is already used up from past songs..?

“I need some water..” Y/N muttered before getting up and taking her phone with her. “what to write..what to write..maybe I can write about friendship loss? No I already wrote a song for that in my newest album..why did I have to announce there would be 12 songs when so far I’ve only written 5?”

The H/C haired girl rubbed her forehead before drinking her water, few seconds later, her phone starts to ring on the counter, making her look to see who it was.

‘Incoming call from Zoey <3’

“Zoey? I thought she was getting tonics with Mira and rumi..”

picking up her phone, she answers the incoming call only to meet with a loud and cheerful voice.

“Y/N! Are you busy!? If not you have to come to the plaza! There’s a free show happening and it’s SOOOOOOO catchy!”

“Zoey? What are you—“

“sorry! I can’t hear right now BUT COME TO THE PLAZA PLEASEEEE OR ELSE YOULL MISS IT”

after that, the call ended which left the poor girl standing confused at her phone. “Free show? I wonder who it is..” Y/N thought about it before going to change so she can hide her identity to go out to the plaza

“maybe..I can get inspiration if I’m out there, maybe I can write about being a new artist?” The girl smiled at the thought before leaving her home to go to the plaza.

⊱ few minutes later

Y/N soon go there as she pushes through the crowd to try to find her three friends. She ended up seeing them as she grabbed onto Mira’s shoulder which made her turn back to see if it was a random person, only to sigh in relief seeing it was Y/N.

“Oh Y/N! Your here! Dude you need to see this” Mira soon pushed the girl in front of her so she can get a view of what’s happening. The H/C haired girl took a peak as she saw what zoey said, 5 boys dancing and singing around, seeing the boy band made something in her make her heart race more than usual.

“this is catchy..” Y/N said as she was started moving her shoulders to the beat which made zoey follow along as well. “Right!? It happened after we left the tonic place!” Zoey yelled happily. Looking more at the group, the more the song gets into it the more that fans are happening and appearing.

while this went on, rumi, zoey and Mira soon left the scene as they went to go destroy anything that the boy ban gave to the fans, leaving Y/N by herself watching them. Soon enough as they danced around one of them soon came up to her, one with lavender hair, covering his face as he held up a flower to her.

“for you..”

he smiled and waited as he watched Y/N take the flower from his hand with a smile, “thank you” the girl said softly as she watched him get pulled away by his group to finish the song. Soon enough and what looks like the main lead, the black haired boy soon spoke as he showed a screen behind him

“thank you everyone! Tonight we’ll be on everyone’s favorite game show! The saja boys love you” with that, the saja boys soon disappear with pink smoke.

looking at the singular rose and back at the pink smoke that’s scattered across and hearing the voices of fans cheering she soon realized something.

“to be fair..that’s something a magician would do”

she faintly heard Zoey speak which she didn’t much mind to it as she had other things to worry and work on. “hey Y/N—“ rumi went to go ask before she was cut off by her.

“I know what to write, sorry to cut the hang out short but..I know what to write!” Y/N smiled as she held rose tight before quickly running off.

“well that was weird” Mira scoffed a bit as she placed a hand on her hip

“you don’t think she’s a fan now do you?” Rumi said worried as she looked at the two girls

“I don’t think so, maybe she’s just inspired by the scenery!” Zoey said excitedly as she soon went on her phone to see if anyone recorded the new boy band.

Oh they would get quite the show alright. But would Adam want to do an episode still if he knew the truth?

That the one he was looking for was right there standing in front of him all along?

Okay, that sounded more romantic than intended.

Lucifer: And you will. I'm sure you'll make the best episode about him before anyone else!

Adam smiled: Thanks babe.

Lucifer: So who's this?

Adam turned back to the tv: I did a little digging and apparently this woman used to do foster care but she abused nearly every child in her care. Not only her but her late husband too.

The only thing that saved that pervert from Lucifer's blade was that he was already dead. Died of a heart attack four years ago.

Adam: Died of a heart attack four years ago. Apparently she would be physically and mentally abusive and he was molesting the kids. Sick fucker better be rotting in Hell.

Lucifer: I'm sure he is. Both of them. Who the fuck does that to kids?

Adam: I know right? This Devil might be twisted but he's taking out human shit stains.

That made Lucifer feel a little good, it was almost as if Adam was proud of him in a way.

Lucifer sat down beside Adam: Why do you think they haven't caught him yet?

Adam hummed: He's probably very smart and can blend in well with people. Likeable. Unassuming in the sense that he doesn't stand out but he also isn't the center of attention. Plus the cops are probably dumb so that works in his favor. I mean, no evidence on any bodies to indicate who it could be? Really? He's been doing this a long time.

And Lucifer has been doing this a long time. He was going to have to switch up his dumping ground to lower the risk of getting caught.

Lucifer: Well, maybe one day he'll slip up.

He won't. There's too much at stake.

Adam: Hopefully.

Thank you love, always appreciated the support he thought dryly. Lucifer would have to wait a little while before killing again.

So for now he could focus on something else that he's been wanting to do for a while.

Finding the perfect time to propose to Adam.

A Podcast to Die For

@beef-brisket

Based off of @procyonloser idea!

⚠️ This story will contain graphic descriptions of murder, death and gore⚠️

-

Adam: His body was so badly decomposed that it took dental records to ID him as Jerry Phillips, aged 26. The coroner determined that the cause of death was likely blood loss and multiple stab wounds. Going off of the Knicks and cuts in the bones alone it was determined that Jerry was stabbed at a minimum of 20 times.

This was the latest update for the Devil serial killer case, he has never been caught and still killing to this day.

Adam sighed and hit pause on the recording, it was always hard reporting on these cases but people needed to know.

And it helped pay the bills.

Adam started doing a true crime podcast on a whim and it took off. He does all cases, solved and unsolved, old and new.

And one case that is very active is the case about the Devil. The media called him that due to the brutal nature of his crimes.

There was a knock on his studio door and Lucifer, his boyfriend of six years poked his head in.

Lucifer: This a good time for a coffee drop off?

Adam: Fuck yes! You're amazing you know that? Perfect timing.

Lucifer chuckled and came in with Adam's iced coffee, an egg, bacon, cheese English muffin and some candied mangos.

Adam: I fucking love you.

Lucifer smiled: I love you too. How's recording going?

Adam: Good, I might have to take a break from this one for a little bit and record a different one. There aren't enough facts on this victim yet.

Lucifer nodded and sipped his own coffee, he loved and supported Adam's podcast. He showed a lot of empathy and respect for the people who died and told a vet compelling story.

Especially when they were his crimes.

Lucifer had tried to quit, he doesn't want to be the way he is. But there's a pull, a drive inside of him that he can't make go away.

So he takes it out on the scum that have done worse than him.

Turns out he is a psychopath, but if that were true he wouldn't be able to love.

And he really loves Adam, he makes him feel like no one else can. So Adam can never know who he really is.

Lucifer wouldn't be able to bear losing him.

Lucifer: More facts will come out soon dove. What other cases are you covering this week?

Why do the FEH devs insist on ignoring Nabatean lore so much?

I recently had a surprisingly cordial discussion on redshit with someone about the "nabateans = colonisers" take, and one of the main points raised was that the game was purposedly foggy around Nabateans/Sothis/their story because it would obviously favor a certain narrative (and thus make another narrative look, uh, not that marketable anymore).

To be honest, we still ended up with a product that had a lead go "this race and its blood* is the reason why the world sucks" and yet that lead is still marketable enough to have raunchy cipher cards and 5 FEH alts, so I actually wonder if, while pissing on that lore had that purpose, it was ultimately pointless since Supreme Leader can still sell goodies despite her incarnation in FE16.

And not only Supreme Leader - but the entirety of WC where we basically have 70% of the cast crying/complaining about their "mixed blood" or lack of and basically adding their 10 cents to the "this race and its blood is the reason why the world sucks".

I mean, can you imagine Sylvain selling any goodies and alts if Flayn replied to his "wah wah people only are kind to me and want to fuck me because I have Nabatean blood :(" by some uncharacteristic "good for you, I have to hide my ears, had to dye my hair, have to lie about my family because if the truth is found out about my identity, I will be hunted and vivisected like an animal and harvested for parts by people who call my kin abominations - just like what happens in the game where the same people who call my kin "abominations" ally with a classmate who calls me a creature and pretends I am incapable of human feelings based on my race".

FE Fodlan's main selling point is its cast of students, for various reasons, but even if I tried to kid myself, Nopes and FEH made it clears : students are the main selling point.

If you spare more time and attention to the Nabatean plot/lore, the students either grow from "likeable" to "despicable" or worse, you won't gaf about them because yeah sure, Hilda might be upset because people expect things from her due to her crust, but it would feel like a "peanut" compared to Seteth's irrational (granted, it's not so irrational since GW exists) fear that Flayn's newest friends would dissect her if they learnt she was a Nabatean, and being conflicted by finally letting her have human friends and form bonds she crave, or protect her due to the trauma from the genocide of their species.

Don't get me wrong, I love peanuts, I mean, not everyone can have a tragik of loaded backstory!

And yet, given how this verse's DNA is "can you fight against the red emperor who uwus about you", they had to add copious amounts of Earl Grey to their games so there's no clear-cut factions :

The "Your alien blood and its influence on the world corrupted it, so I want to reform it under my command" vs "I don't want to die and you oppose me due to my race and side with the people who genocided my kin"

is turned to :

"Your alien blood Crests and its your church's influence on the world corrupted it, so I want to reform it under my command"

"I don't want to die and you oppose me due to my race and side with the people who genocided my kin"

Sprinkle with the cast's hammering here and there that the "reforms" might be needed - but never develop on what they are - and add a few baseless and groundless takes as a toping (basically everything Claude says about tolerance and the general "isolationism/foreign policy" stuff) and you get FE Fodlan where the Red Emperor's war isn't seen as the catastrophe it is in the other entries from the series!

Now, for FEH...

FWIW, the F!F!Billy's trailer had them try to explain that Sothis was a bit pissed about her slaughtered/massacred children when Nopes never gave any reason about why she was pissed - maybe on Billy's behalf bcs Jerry's dead, but come on, she would indeed deserve the medal of the worst parent in the franchise if that was the case, since Billy can murder her daughter without Sothis taking over ! - but given that they cannot write/go against the source game those characters are from.

They tried a bit, with B!Supreme Leader and Hegemongard's FB, but then it stopped (because she had no "new unit" released since then lol) and I can understand why : Hegemongard came out before the Supreme Emblem, and Hegemongard hates dragons who are seen/perceived as gods by some of their human followers. Come FE17, and now Supreme Emblem accepts Alear because they are "one of the good ones". We can come up with HCs and details and talk about what are emblems or if Hegemongard's views were only hers at the end of AM all day long... But imo, Doylist wise, it still feels it's a retcon because the devs from the main games tried to scrap and remove the most "controversial" traits she had.

For the other characters... Well, you see what Marianne is in FEH (but even in her base games), she's one of the few characters who reacts - in a way - to the partial history about relics and demonic beasts and all... only to give sad uwus to Maurice.

FE16 (and Nopes) refused to have any "student" character react to the Nabatean lore/reveal, about what are relics and all. There are no lines, Claude shared some knowledge in the explore section of VW's last chapter, but we don't have anyone muse or think or even talk about what are relics, what are crests, and what kind of fuckery their ancestors or the ancient humans of Fodlan did.

With that in mind, FEH can't do much : either they write Marianne in a retcon-y way like what happened for Hegemongard (and they're not afraid to piss on characterisation, look at Lyon!), or they flanderise her "character" and develop her around 3 lines she had in the game in her paralogue, and continue to give sad uwus about Momo when he was at best a guy who slaughtered and murdered so much that he abused the Nabatean turned into a relic to the point where he turned in a demonic beast even if he had a matching crest, or at worst, had been part of Nemesis's piñata party in Zanado and was something of a genocider.

Tldr :

Why FE Fodlan never gaf about Nabateans : earl grey + the marketable cast has to stay marketable and you can't sell peanuts at the same price you'd sell swordfish

Why FEH dgaf about Nabatean lore : they can't afford to retcon characters + they have to sell peanut alts with the same seasoning they had in their base game.

For what it's worth though, I think FEH is more daring than the base game(s) given how they gave more lines and screentime to Rhea - through her different alts - than GW. And they even designed her Halloween!alt's lines to piss on some of Claude's assertions, while the various FB involving members of the church also - indirectly - reply to some accusations thrown their way in FE16 when, FE16, never gave them an opportunity or lines to explain that those takes were full of dung.

*"but random, maybe she doesn't know that the crests she often decries is "dragon blood"!"

It's highly debatable, especially given what she and Hubert throw to Billy in CF - but even if she doesn't, Doylist wise we still have a character who, knowingly or not, says "this race and its blood* is the reason why the world sucks" and who is never called out on her prejudice. That's more of an issue regarding the general writing though, she has to be a red emperor and took pages from Ashnard's book, and yet, the player must still feel bad and want to romance her, so her mindest/goal cannot be looked at too closely, because, I guess, even the devs thought it would be difficult to romance her (thus sell goodies!) if more light was shed on the "blood from this race corrupts our people" schtick -> which in turn would also make characters whose backstory and gimmick rely on "crying about crests" be way less likeable, thus marketable and able to sell goodies.

As someone who made their Inky a 14 year old kid (Pa was a Templar, Mama was a Mage they made it work and then died at the Conclave and Now Everyone has to grapple with the ethical conundrum and implications of a kid being the Herald of Andraste etc.). I need the lore on your kid! Inquisitior and the fluff.

oh I love that! feel free to tell me about your inky too if you wish, they sound so interesting. 💚

okay I haven't played as them yet so things may change (I am slowly going through the DA games again but DAO has so many parts I don't enjoy it's been hard 😔 but soon I'll get to play the DA games I do enjoy)

Drawing of an idea of how they could look. I do want to add some freaky shit more from the anchor to show how much it's fucked them up.

Looking into their eyes is like looking into the fade, this kid like partly fade nonsense at this point.

will put this under a readmore so it doesn't get too long. this will all probably be a mess so hopefully things are understandable, and also shows I'm trying to not get lost in thinking about them too much when I'm still playing DAO and need to still play DA2.

Lior is eight years old, goes by they/them, is an orphan that got super attached to Divine Justinia to the point Justinia had no choice but to accept she had a kid now. That's why they were at the Conclave, they were meant to stay put and out of everything but they went looking for Justinia when they ran into Corypheus and took the anchor from him without understanding anything what is going on.

Cassandra and Leliana know this kid well, the worse they could do is not clean up a mess they made or steal sweets from the kitchen when they were told no, they both no this kid would never have any way of blowing up the Conclave, so the start of the game is one they do need to try and close the rift but also they need to keep this kid safe and try and shield them from the horrors (they can't)

Varric is for sure the first to speak up about how fucked this is putting a kid through all this.

Solas is suffering he never meant for a kid to be brought into his mess, he takes up teaching Lior how to control their newly gained magic. Lior gets super close to Solas like they get super attached to him so Trespasser is gonna hurt.

Vivienne also becomes another teacher when she joins because there's no way she's gonna let them only learn from an apostate.

The advisors + Cassandra all make the decisions so Lior is nothing but the figure head, the face of the inquisition because they're the Herald of Andraste.

I do have mods all set up for the playthrough so I'm gonna be using one that let's you do both the templar quest and the mage quest so I like to think they believed it was a good idea to take the kid to Therinfal Redoubt and that it should be safe (it wasn't), but Lior wants to help the mages too and won't shut up until they all go help, so they end up having to somehow get over to help the mages before anything happens, Lior and Dorian are stuck in the future for over a week as they try and get back to their time, what isn't easy when he has to keep this kid safe who is scared and still doesn't have the best handle on their magic at that point, they start calling Dorian uncle no matter what he says or thinks and this will never end.

Poor Lior is gonna have nightmares of the future for a very long time after this. They probably cling to Solas anymore than usual after they saw him corrupted by the red lyrium.

They of course befriend Kieran, they can be weird kids together (and maybe something else in the future because it could be fun to if they start having feelings for each other in veilguard but still haven't acted upon said feelings)

Also I keep imaging Blackwall making toys for them <3 he takes one look at them and knows what he must do, and also could partly be him trying to make up for things he did in the past.

They learn more than anyone probably wants them to from both Sera and Cole, two very different things but they're a kid so the pranks would be fun and I think Sera knows it and wants the kid to remember they're still just a person (and a kid) I feel like with Cole it's to do with the fact they're some mess of the fade now thanks to the anchor and somehow understand him really well so they both end up being weird together in ways that I think are really sweet.

Piggyback rides with Iron Bull is a must, sadly I think I'm gonna have him sacrifice the Chargers :c so Trespasser is also gonna hurt here too. (but this world state is about doing things a little differently than what I usually do so...)

The two DLCs will be done by other people, they won't send the kid into danger where they aren't needed, Lior only gets to go anywhere if there are rifts to be closed. Every mission becomes a escort mission if Lior is there.

By the end of the game they live with Divine Victoria (Leliana) and my HoF Aisling, those two take care of them until they're old enough to be on their own.

I like to think when my Hawke shows up they yell at everyone for letting any of this happen to a kid.

Also imagine an eight year old kid telling everyone at the ball how stupid they are all and they need to get along and work together.

In veilgaurd they would look probably like this (just with me leaning more into maybe some scaring left from the anchor I'm still trying to figure out how they'll be):

they've been through so much, losing their whole arm at age ten and now there's some new blight and they have to help? Kid needs help they're only 18 they can't be helping with saving the world again.

They still have a connection to the fade, it's just not killing them like the anchor was. (but anyone who knows me knows I love giving my characters chronic pain so you know they're dealing with pain from it all for the rest of their life)

I fucking hate being traumatized because why am I bawling the hardest I've bawled in god-knows-how-long because someone I didn't even like that much berated Me. gasping wailing trembling and snotting over this for several minutes.

[adolins-heart]

on one hand I wanna write my fic ideas wherein my marvel oc gets sent to the alternate universe of Gotham and hijinks ensue whilst she tries to survive and get back and the batfam and such slowly learn more info abt her world and how it's being threatened atm and she needs to go back and help and whatnot.

But on the other hand, the readers wouldn't know the marvel related backstory of this OC and would have. No context for her going in

But ALSO then the readers would know abt as much abt this mysterious figure as the batcrew do, and get to learn via flash backs and her slowly revealing info to them as safety allows

Then there's also just a general. Idk if there's any sort of oc etiquette when it comes to writing oc centered fics? My brain goes so hogwild when I read anything that I usually avoid oc fics other people write just bc I usually read and enjoy fics at face value but I also go "now what would happen if this OC was here?" And that gets real complicated when other people's ocs are involved

Thinking abt spiraling upwards side characters again. Charredpelt my absolute beloved

jesus fucking shit, i may or may not have accidentally been poisoned by my fave sibling bc my mom is terrified of spiders

[wandersee]

it's so absolutely torturous only having $650 left on my car loan but being entirely unable to pay ANYTHING towards it due to lack of day job like. me outright owning my little disaster of a car is RIGHT THERE ;0; not to mention not having to worry about the $300 monthly payments, so it'd free that non-existent money up, which would be sooooooo life changing :")

[fragmentedblade]

I hate that when I look up the "Kalpas" tag here there's me and then there's me again, but on another blog. Fake moustache me

[gojoest]

f!reader, she/her pronouns used, you work in the office’s sales and investment department, managing clients and closing deals, your VIP client gojo satoru ofc is down bad for you

“is he here again?” one of your coworkers whispers, eyeing the white haired man lounging in the waiting area.

“yeah”, the other replies with a nod. “he must be loaded. i mean, look at him — he’s buying land or property every other day”

“should we go see what he’s here for this time?”

a third chimes in, lowering her voice. “i already tried, but he said he’s waiting for her”

“oh, of course”, the first two say in unison, rolling their eyes. “he never wants to work with anyone else but her”

the man sitting across from them is gojo satoru — the head of the infamous and powerful gojo clan and, without question, one of the richest men in japan. he first walked into the office a month ago for a routine estate deal, but then… he saw you. since then, he’s been coming back almost daily — buying land, investing in companies, expanding his already ridiculous portfolio. but it’s never really about business, he doesn’t care about doubling or tripling his assets — every deal, every investment, it’s just an excuse to see you.

the office chatter cuts off the moment you step out of the meeting room, walking alongside a new client you had just finished discussing terms with.

“it was a pleasure meeting you” — the man says warmly, taking your offered hand but instead of shaking it, he lifts it to his lips and places a kiss on your knuckles. “i would be delighted to work with you”

you clear your throat, not exactly pleased with his actions, and retract your hand quickly while still maintaining a polite and professional smile as you nod. “likewise”

“may i have your number? just in case any details come up?”

“of course” you reply, and the two of you exchange business cards.

as the client exits, your attention shifts to a sharp tapping sound coming from the waiting area. there he is — gojo satoru — legs crossed, one foot thudding impatiently against the floor while the other on top swings, arms folded tightly across his chest, his usual carefree demeanor nowhere to be seen. he’s clearly not pleased.

another man had just tried his luck with you, just like he once did. and chances are, just like him, that man will be back.

“i would be delighted to work with you” — satoru mutters under his breath, mimicking the client’s voice with exaggeratedly small voice. “yeah, right. my ass”

you can’t help but chuckle and walk over to him. “hello, mr. gojo”

he huffs, still pissed at the way that man kissed your hand. offering no greeting in return and no teasing grin as he usually does, he jumps straight to the point with a grumbled confession.

“you know, i’m a very jealous man”, he pauses, eyes still locked on the door your client just walked out of, before he continues — “i already don’t like the idea of that man calling or texting you”

you raise a brow as you take a seat beside him. “it’s business related”, you reply, though you’re not sure why you’re even giving him an explanation, let alone trying to calm him down.

“yeah? well, so was mine the first time, but look how that turned out”

you roll your eyes, fighting the smile tugging at your lips. “you mean you buying half the city just to keep showing up here?”

“exactly” he leans back, spreading his arms along the top of the couch like he owns the entire building — which, at this point, wouldn’t surprise you. “you’re a dangerous woman. all professional and focused until suddenly i’m out here investing in organic rice farms just for a reason to see you”

you laugh. “is that why you wanted to meet me today?”

he shrugs. “who knows? maybe i suddenly care a lot about sustainable agriculture”

“you’re ridiculous”, you snort.

“and you’re unreal”, his tone a bit more teasing now. “i swear you could get on my nerves every day and i’d still thank the universe for putting you in my life”

“huh?” you blink.

“i’m serious”, he says, voice dropping low, eyes locked on yours. “you driving me crazy, making me jealous, acting like this is just business — you could keep doing that for the rest of my life. because the most beautiful woman on earth getting on my nerves? that’s an honor.” he pauses for half a second, then leans in, “but i need to make you mine — officially”

“what are you—“

before you can finish, he cuts you off. “we can go pick a ring right now” he says casually like he’s offering to go grab some coffee. “i’ve already got five jewelers on speed dial. we’ll go full sparkle because you deserve nothing less”

you just stare at him in disbelief, torn between laughing and checking to see if he’s actually joking.

“what?” he grins. “don’t look so shocked. i told you from the start that i don’t do things halfway, especially not when it comes to you”

you’re not oblivious, of course. you’ve known for a while now that gojo satoru has a thing for you. the way he always asks for you specifically, the over-the-top deals, the charming smiles paired with suspiciously timed visits — it is beyond obvious. though part of you always thought it was just a tiny, harmless crush. but now he’s suddenly talking about rings like you’ve already been dating for years and it’s the most natural progression.

okay, maybe, just maybe, calling it a tiny crush doesn’t really hold up when the man is out here casually buying half the city just for an excuse to see you.

you narrow your eyes at him, a smirk tugging at your lips. “you know, maybe before we start ring shopping we should try lunch first”

“lunch, huh?” satoru tilts his head, pretending to think.

you nod. “yeah. you know — small steps! a conversation that isn’t about land acquisitions or surprise proposals”

he leans in, his voice smug and sweet all at once. “would you freak out if i told you i already bought the ring?”

“no, you didn’t”

“yes, i did”, he says, completely unfazed. “it’s in my pocket”

Kris and Susie

We never hear from anyone in deltarune that Susie bullied them.

No one, except Kris.

And yet

there are hints that Kris might have liked Susie even before her character arc.

It gets supported by how well they get along after it. Kris isn't holding a grudge, they embrace this new friendship with open arms, as if it's something they've been wanting for a while.

But why? Why would Kris like someone who hurt them?

Exactly why Lilo liked Stitch when he did nothing except make her life more difficult. She saw herself in him.

Kris understood Susie the way no one else did. They knew why she lashed out, it's the same reason why they kept pulling pranks and acting out. They felt like an outsider so they might as well play the part.

When they met Susie, they saw someone who was just like them. And they weren't wrong, because ever since they became friends, they've practically been sharing a braincell
