do you think solas cried after crestwood? do you think he walked to a quiet clearing so he could be sure he was alone, or do you think he held it together until they were back at skyhold? did he find some corner away from the rotunda where he could cry without anyone knowing, or do you think they heard him sometimes, late at night, and pretended not to?

Unfortunately, I did not find Silco, butt booty naked and tied up, under my Christmas Tree with a pink bow in his hair looking up at me like a kicked puppy. Expect a crash out accordingly.

do you have any unpopular opinions regarding Arya

what's your opinion on the death penalty type ask. well i think arya prettycourse is insane (she's literally 10? but also im about to type a block of text about it so. sorry ✋) both the "she's ugly fr" takes and the people citing book quotes where someone calls her pretty are missing the point. the books are not interested in engaging with 'objective' beauty (madness wrt dany and the targs is another concept that is not objective. it's a social construct) because the books understand gender is socially constructed so that implies gendered beauty standards are also socially constructed.

the ideal of beauty in westeros is based on a very specific brand of patriarchal femininity. it's obviously race based, like, almost everyone has something vile to say about elia and that's because of in-universe racism against the dornish. beauty is also class based because only aristocratic women have access to expensive fabrics and lace etc and to possess that kind of socially desirable figure one has to have a certain amount of wealth (i.e. access to food) to be precluded from engaging in physical labour. i don't think the books are interested in that class based aspect because all our pov characters are aristocrats, but you do see the other bits in play with a lot of characters. like, cersei and the prophecy about being surpassed by a younger and more beautiful girl. she spends a lot of time worrying about which beautiful girl maggy the frog was prophesying here, but i'm sure (at least in a metatextual sense, because this is a self fulfilling prophecy) "younger and more beautiful" is also meant as a simple truth, that after a certain age she will no longer be viewed as a sexual commodity, and you see this happen in the text in the way jaime is still fawned over at his age but cersei is entering 'socially deemed as old hag' territory. brienne (once) very much desires to be a lady but because she doesn't fit that ideal of patriarchal femininity (the specific way she is made out to be ugly are her height, her girth, that she's flat chested and muscular) she is dehumanised and labeled an outcast. then on the other end we've got daenerys who is considered the most beautiful woman in the world because she's being exoticised for her valyrian heritage, it's not the authorial voice of grrm pronouncing her as the winner of some fuckass planetos beauty pageant okay!! and crucially, these are all teenagers so the ideal of beauty here is also inseparable from the normative sexualisation of young girls who're also simultaneously expected to perform innocence and purity.

so with that context, arya is considered ugly because she's gender nonconforming. arya's anxiety and feelings of inadequacy over not being pretty (like her mother, like her sister) are not separate from her anxiety about not being able to meet the standards of patriarchal femininity.

Her mother used to say she could be pretty if she would just wash and brush her hair and take more care with her dress, the way her sister did.

what cat means here, is that she will be pretty ONCE she's domesticated into being a proper lady. and that one time gendry calls arya pretty it's right after lady smallwood forces her into conventionally feminine attire (Lady Smallwood fussed at the bodice of the gown. “Now you look a proper young lady.” // gendry: "You look different now. Like a proper little girl.") i don't find these instances of her being called pretty particularly empowering because she doesn't like wearing gowns and dresses, she shouldn't be forced to perform 'proper' gender roles in exchange for some assurance regarding her worth as a girl. note that catelyn, lady smallwood, and gendry are not being malicious but they've all grown up with and internalised westeros's sexist values, catelyn in particular is approaching it as a problem of who's going to marry (i.e. sexually desire) arya if she doesn't behave like a well bred lady.

Lady Smallwood gave her breeches, belt, and tunic to wear, and a brown doeskin jerkin dotted with iron studs. “They were my son’s things,” she said. “He died when he was seven.” “I’m sorry, my lady.” Arya suddenly felt bad for her, and ashamed. “I’m sorry I tore the acorn dress too. It was pretty.” “Yes, child. And so are you. Be brave.”

i think this is the most valuable/touching comment on arya's appearance because lady smallwood here is finally not trying to put her in some box of expectations, she's simply recognising her as a child trying to survive and return to her family, worthy of kindness, worthy of love. and that's the main theme of her story, she just wants to exist outside those rigid codes of social conduct for women ("Can I be a king’s councillor and build castles and become the High Septon?") but because she won't quietly let her desires and sense of self be subsumed by westeros's patriarchal femininity (what's happening to sansa in affc), what she's ultimately presented with is complete annihilation of the self. the faceless men tell her, "you will be no one's daughter, no one's wife, no one's mother" - the wording here feels significant because then this path is not an out from that oppressive structure. it's saying: since you refuse to conform, you can't exist within society. you won't be considered a person at all, your body will be a tool to serve the faceless men's desires.

Dagur baby-talking Hiccup in enemy of my enemy to do damage control will always be so funny to me, he's trying sooo hard not to snap and yell, changing his voice to full on baby talk so he seems less threatening, going overload on the "good boy" "that's it" "attaboy Hiccup", love it

I love how you always make Anakin so thirsty in your art (and also a little deranged). Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

The thirst are mostly me projecting, but the deranged parts are how I see him in canon asdfh;; I'm happy you noticed it! And thank you for being here 🙇‍♂️❤️🤲

mage viktor discourse again on twitter and all i can say in my little corner over here once again is, I don't know why the entire fandom takes it as canon that mage Viktor failed to save every world he manipulated.

Canon does not provide evidence of this. This is fanon speculation. It's a fine headcanon to have, but everyone talks about it like it's canon when it isn't. Canon is ambiguous about the outcome of the timelines mage Viktor altered. The little nods we are given point, in my opinion, towards the opposite conclusion, that he successfully averted destruction.

I've written meta on this before but in summary:

1) 'In all timelines, in all possibilities' is worded precisely, it's not 'out of all timelines'; the implication is that every time, Jayce brings Viktor back from the brink, not just in our timeline. 'Only you' doesn't refer to our timeline's Jayce, it refers to all Jayces. Jayce always brings him home. If Viktor continuously put the fate of each timeline in Jayce's hands and Jayce failed over and over, I don't think he'd say those words. And the way he says them matters. His words are tinged with wonder, not sorrow. As if over and over again, he is shown that Jayce saves him, and it continues to amaze him. He doesn't sound defeated, like this is the next in a long line of Jayces he's sending off to die. The feeling is that Viktor's faith in Jayce has not been misplaced.

2) If mage Viktor doomed every timeline, there would be hundreds (or more) mage Viktors. All running around manipulating timelines. I highly doubt the writers wanted to get into that kind of sticky situation. The tragedy of mage Viktor is that he is singular. Alone. Burdened with the responsibility of the multiverse. The emotional gut punch of his fate is ruined if other timelines led to the same outcome, and from a practical standpoint, having multiple reality-bending omniscient mages would rip apart the fabric of the arcane.

There are other points, such as there being only one corrupted Mercury Hammer and our Jayce is the only one to receive it, and the fact that if mage Viktor is as omniscient as he is implied to be, he could easily step back into other timelines and correct course, because it's highly unlikely he could sit still and watch things go down in flames. But these things can be argued elsewhere.

While I love conversations about mage Viktor's motives and selfishness vs altruism, the writers & artbook have expressed that Jayce and Viktor care greatly about Runeterra and want to fix their mistakes to save it, and that their reconciliation is symbolic of Piltover and Zaun coming together as well. Yes, they make disastrous decisions towards each other, making choices for the other or without the other, which has negative consequences for their relationship and for Runeterra - but I think fandom pushes their selfishness even past what's canon sometimes, as if their entire goal hadn't always been to selflessly help the world around them. Their final reconciliation is about bridging the gap that grew between them - the pain and grief and secrets, betraying themselves and each other - to mutually choose each other openly and honestly. Part of the beauty of their story, as expressed by the creators, is that in their final moments, they chose each other and took responsibility for their actions by sacrificing themselves to end what they started, together - and that choosing each other saved the world. TPTB have stated this - that Jayce and Viktor are the glue holding civilization together, and when they come back to each other, they can restore balance. It's when they're apart, when they hurt each other and miscommunicate, when they abandon their commitment to each other and their dream, that the greater world suffers. Their strife is mirrored in the story-world at large.

Mage Viktor is framed as a solitary penitent figure, damned to an eternity of atoning for his mistakes. He paid the ultimate price and now is forced to live his personal nightmare of exactly what he was trying to avoid for himself with the glorious evolution. The narrative clues we're given point more in the direction that he saves timelines rather than dooms them. If Viktor's actions kept killing Jayce, the very boy he couldn't bear to not save each time, it would undermine these narrative choices. Yes, Viktor couldn't stand to live in a world where he never meets Jayce, so he ensures it keeps happening. But in that same breath, he couldn't bear to see a world where his actions continue to destroy Jayce and destroy Runeterra. His entire arc in s2 is born of his selfless desire to help humanity, help individual people. He would not lightly destroy entire worlds. That's his original grief multiplied a thousandfold, and narratively it would lessen the impact of the one, true loss he did suffer, his own Jayce. It wouldn't make sense for him to be alright with damning other timelines to suffer the same catastrophic tragedy that created him. I mean, maybe I'm delusional here, but is that not the entire point? Because that's what I took away when I watched the show.

As I said, I love discussions about mage Viktor, as there's a lot to play with. All I wish is that the fandom at large would not just assume or accept the Mage Viktor Dooms Every Timeline idea as canon, when there is nothing in the actual canon that confirms this. Maybe people need to just, go back and rewatch the actual episode, to recall how mage Viktor is presented to us, and what it's implied we're supposed to take away from his scenes, and separate that from the layers of headcanon the fandom has constructed.

I wouldn’t be surprised if yandere au does happen tbh, FD!Mc is a very important person in their lives who saved them from their canon fate

The tipping line between the concept being yandere or not is pretty thin.

The Batfam have it pretty easy, all things considered. You won’t leave Gotham for long periods of times, not when you’re still running Drake Industries and even with that aside, as long as they have Tim, they’ll have you.

Even if you haven’t accepted everyone else as family, accepted that they want- need you to stay, Tim is still your absolute, uncontested, number one priority. There’s no way you’d leave him with the Waynes without at least checking in every so often. So, really, most of the yandere-ness is already satiated by just how often you come by and by the sheer everything you’ve done to help them all.

But still, it’s not enough. You still leave at the end of the week. You’re still distant, watching on as though you’re an outsider. You still won’t call anyone other than Tim your sibling.

It’d be easier if you could stay forever. So what if there are papers you left at the Drake manor that you need for your next meeting? They can go and get it for you and while they’re at it, why don’t they just bring everything back home, back to the Wayne manor where you belong.

You’re the one who dug your way in, mended the splinters and carved a place for yourself in this family so should you really be surprised when they won’t let you leave?

(Tim is definitely still collaborating with everyone to get you to stay even if he was a bit unenthused at the prospect of sharing you at the beginning. But… if you ever wanted to drop everything and leave, he’d help and vanish with you too. Though, of course, that’s require you to realize something is wrong first…)

I guess the main thing about the au being yandere is the suffocation. In the normal au, they’d at least respect your choices and let you do your own thing but if they’re yandere, there was never really any choice at all.
