They fear each other the most.

Because when Astarion’s eyes ignite like a shadow-worshiping zealot, Halsin thinks for a brief moment ‘I lost him - again.’ The terror that rips through him is akin to the horror he felt as Shar’s curse sundered the earth apart so many years ago.

It’s akin to the grief he suffered when he’d learnt of Astarion’s first death.

“If I took Cazador’s place in the ritual,” Astarion is saying, red eyes blazing with a feverish rage, “then nothing could ever touch us again. No one could take you from me.”

They fear each other the most - because when Halsin slides a big hand over Astarion’s nape and says “if you must command something, someone - let it be me. This power you crave, Astarion… it would be the end of you. You have seen what absolute power does! You have been the one to deliver the punishment for the thievery of wicked men - do not think yourself so different from them. It would change you. Ruin you.”

And it’s a terrifying thing, to have somebody. To have, to love - it means to lose. At least, as Astarion is now. As he is now, he’s suffered more loss than most elves three times his age, and it’s all because he lacks the power Cazador seeks to claim for himself.

But -

“If you must command something,” Halsin says, drawing Astarion to his chest in the bed they share in Last Light, “let it be me. Let me be the power you crave. Let me bring you the vengeance you deserve. Have I not earned your faith, little wolf?”

It’s gentle. Soft. There isn’t a manipulative bone in Halsin’s noble body and Astarion’s breath catches as he realizes -

It’s an oath. The beginnings of one, rather - but an oath nonetheless.

“You would be my army?” he murmurs lowly, fingertips ghosting Halsin’s chin. “You would be my crown?”

“And the throne you sat upon,” Halsin says with a quirk of his lips. He ducks his head and kisses Astarion’s fingertips. “Do not stray from me now, my Star. It took the movement of the heavens and earth to bring you back to me. I refuse to believe we are destined to end in tragedy.”

Astarion’s eyes soften. The fever breaks, and Halsin draws the elf into a kiss that they both drown in.

They fear each other the most.

But it is a fear they refuse to succumb to.

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

This movie has the potential to radically change the way we collectively see Barbie into what Ruth Handler originally intended, I’m so very excited

They have since left four premature babies to decompose on their beds. They have since kidnapped, stripped, tortured civilians and tried to frame them as Hamas fighters for their propaganda. They have since shot people at refugee camps execution style. They have since targeted academics and poets and directors. They have since killed 86 journalists. Still no ceasefire.

psa: i know that many of us did NOT doubt this for a second, neither did i. this is targeted at the people who educated themselves for the first time about this genocide and discovered the absolute horrific things that Israel is capable of doing to Palestinians, with the unwavering support of its allies.

chemistry teacher soap catches gym teacher simon fucking you in the bathroom during a school dance, tattooed hand over your mouth to muffle the pretty noises you make. he doesn’t think either of you notice, until those dark eyes turn on him, a slight tilt to his head in invitation.

soap decides he has a better way of keeping you quiet, stuffing his cock down your throat, enjoying the way you choke on it and the way simon tugs him forward to lick into his mouth, a hum of approval low in his throat.
