landonorris to my beautiful daughter and her astounding mother. i am in awe of the pair of you. for the past nine months, i have been the biggest idiot on the planet. and yet both of you welcomed me back into your lives without a second thought. y/n, i have loved you since we were 12 and you kissed me because i grazed my knee falling off my bike. instead of telling you that, i dragged you around the world with me whilst i raced, falling more in love with you each day. your generosity and kindness never fail to wow me. to those who don't know, i was a complete idiot. i ran away from my responsibilities and yet, she didn’t hesitate in giving me a second chance. not just as a father but as a partner. she brought our beautiful bean into the world, and i will forever cherish the pair of you. you are my whole world, and if i ever upset either of you, george has full permission to run me over with his car. to y/n and bean, i love you both forever. you are my everything.

You can love a character and still admit when they're wrong!! I love Usopp but I can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he's never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out for his actions (which are always correct).

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? , aemond targaryen

I DON’T KNOW WHAT FEELS TRUE, BUT THIS FEELS RIGHT SO STAY A SEC

aemond targaryen x fem cousin reader

warnings & notes: cussing, no use of y/n, little bit of aemond and reader being insecure, targecst, betrayal reader is daemons daughter with big phat daddy issues [haven’t read the book just seen the show so if anything’s wrong pls let me know!]

winter was creeping up on kings landing. a slight breeze mixing in with an eerie feeling and spreading all throughout the land. the people were tense, whispers of war slipping in and out of the lips of innocent, afraid people. since the crowning of king aegon ii and the death of lucerys velaryon the smell of death had invaded the streets, and even the walls of the red keep.

aegon of course, ignored it. he sided with his younger brothers actions—playing it off as a mistake and standing stern with his protection of vhagar. the council warned him about rhaenyra’s upcoming wars, telling him to better be prepared—but for the king, it went through one ear and out the other.

alicent was fearful, taking her stresses out with ser criston cole—she was aware of the mistake she’d been committing, but at this point she deserved something to herself. or so she thought. her father’s shadow had always hovered over her her entire life—and now it’s hovering over her children. she desperately wished for her father to stop with his “suggestions” to the king, and as for aemond…

well as for aemond alicent was reasonably upset, but had wished to believe her son was better than this.

and as for you, alicent truly had no idea what was going to happen to you. the boys and helaena had grown accustomed to your presence in the red keep. you had been raised alongside the three as if you were a child alicent had birthed herself. she still remembered the day daemon had shown up, pleading with viserys to take care of you because he was fighting an unnecessary war and your mother would rather but herself to a blade than take care of daemons child.

viserys accepted, leaving alicent and the other maids to raise both you and helaena at the same time. daemon visited every now and then, speaking short, soft words to you. teaching you how to wield a blade and arguments that would leave you in tears. of course, people whispered rumors that you were born out of wedlock.

you had heard the news of his marriage, and the birth of his two girls—ones that you hadn’t met until his wife’s funeral. it was an odd feeling, standing next to a family that wasn’t necessarily yours, watching as your father stood behind his two crying daughters. that night, aemond had found you angrily crying on the beach.

it had hurt him to see you like this. he had grown up with you, and despite what people had said—you were his family. so he had decided that night to steal something precious from one of daemons daughters, something that could make them feel the pain of being abandoned as they had made you feel.

so that night he claimed vhagar, an act of love that had costed him an eye.

to aemond, it was worth it. stealing the dragon, seeing the look on the girls’s faces as they sobbed and fought him—aemond would steal a million dragons just to make them feel the way you had. but was even more with it, was your comfort when you had seen what lucerys had done to you.

the fight between the boys was never yours to intervene, but you would gladly stand by aegon and aemond. by your family.

but now, years later with the death of lucerys and the feeling of war being closer than ever—aemond didn’t know what to do. he had believed it was an accident, he knew it was an accident. he hadn’t wished to hurt the strong boy, he was simply owed a debt. but he knew his mother didn’t feel that way, and the others in the council looked at him with disappointment.

when you first had found out, you looked at him shocked. it pained him, you saw him with the same eyes as his own mother. but quickly those thoughts were ignored when you had asked how he was feeling.

so now, late at night he finds his way to your chambers. hoping to the gods that you’re still awake, that you won’t look at him with the eye of disappointment and that you’d understand him. just as he always tried to do for you.

he walked up the stairs, towards your chambers. the echo of his boots bouncing off the walls and the torches lighting the hallway bit by bit, his heart beating against his chest. aemond had been to your chambers many times, he had talked to you many times, but this time was different. this time he had feared that he was going to lose you to your love for your father, just as he had lost his mother to her love for rhaenyra.

when he had finally arrived, he found it surprising that there was no guards outside of your door. he scoffed it off as something aegon had probably done, commanding the guards to get drunk with him or something along those lines. but a part of aemond was worried, worried that something that happened to you. maybe you had escaped off to dragonstone and there was no guards to stop you, or maybe they had taken you.

he stood outside your door, his hand hovering over the handle before the door whipped open. his eye had met yours, causing you to jump in the shock of him standing outside your doors. “oh my gods, you frightened me—i didn’t think you were going to be there, my apologies, my prince.” you whispered, placing your hand against your beating chest.

aemond chuckled slightly, “the apology is mine, i did not mean to frighten you, princess.” he looked behind you, looking for any signs that you had attempted to escape—or that you were possibly planning too. “where were you off too?” he questioned.

your lips hung slightly open, your eyes scanning his body. he wore all black, his hands tightly behind his back as he stood tall, a slight smirk on his face as he awaited your response. despite growing up together and being older, he made you nervous. “i was off on my way to see you, actually.” you confessed.

aemond let out a sigh of relief.

“i wanted to see how you were doing.” you whispered, watching as his body relaxed itself, thankful for the fact that you were not planning on leaving the red keep—leaving him.

“may i…may i come in?” he asked, his walking slowly towards you, pushing you slightly back into your room.

you nodded slightly, moving away from him so that he could enter inside your room. he scanned it ever so slightly, noticing the paper and quill on your nightstand. his eyes turning back to you. “who are you writing too?” he questioned.

“oh nobody in particular, im hoping to find another rat catcher. helaena keeps complaining about them.” you answered. “did you want something? wine? water?” you asked, moving around your chamber to grab chalices.

aemond shook his head, “only your company.”

you smiled, sitting down on a chair that was placed in front of him. you noticed something about him looked different, he didn’t have his usual smug aura that he always had—you had seen him at bad times but never like this. he looked tired.

“are you feeling ill?” you asked.

aemond shook his head quickly, “the maesters say i’m in perfectly good condition, physically.”

you scoffed, rolling your eyes as you stood up. “yes, well the maesters haven’t known you as i have.” you smiled slyly. you walked closer to aemond, examining his face, placing your hand against his forehead and his eye.

aemond relaxed in your touch, closing his eyes and feeling all his problems slowly disappear. this what he craved, he loved your affection—the way you actually listened to him and had attempted to help him. his mother was once like this, but not anymore.

not after what he did.

your fingers moved slowly against his face, examining every possible thing you could feel. you slowly hovered over his scar, inching it closer and closer towards aemonds eyepatch before you felt his hand tightly grab your wrist.

you gasped, his eyes were wide open now and stinging through your skin. aemond was always defensive, especially with that of his eye—he didn’t want you to see him like this, he didn’t want for you to think badly about him.

“i’m sorry.” you whispered slightly, looking at aemond confused and slightly afraid. he had never gotten ahold of you like this.

aemond sighed slightly, letting go of his grip on your wrist and sliding his hands on top of yours, guiding them to his eyepatch. you felt the coldness of his hand on top of the warmth of yours, then the hard leather touched your hand as he helped you slowly pull off his eyepatch. slowly, you pulled it off of his head—his hand falling from yours as he looked too the floor.

you placed the eyepatch to the side, gently grabbing his chin and lifting his face to meet yours. the bright blue sapphire shining bright in your eyesight. “does it bring you pain?” you asked softly, attempting not to anger him.

“not physically.” he whispered softly.

you sighed, feeling a pain in your heart. “i’m sorry about your eye, i’m sorry about all of this.” you confessed, “i must admit…when i had heard about lucerys and about you i was pained. i did not want to believe that you had murdered an innocent child, but then i was reminded of driftmark.” “of when we were younger in kings landing and what they had done to you…by no means are you innocent in this but your nephews had murdered your innocence and childhood.” you explained—hoping not to upset him with your confession.

aemond stayed silent for a moment. processing everything you had said, “did i ever tell you why i took vhagar?” he asked.

for a moment there was a stillness in the room. you could smell the musk of the stone on the walls, feel the warmth radiating off of yours and aemonds body.

“you desired a dragon.”

“yes but…”aemond stopped himself, his eyes locking with yours as you looked at him confused. even now, he could still see that girl he once saw crying on the beach at driftmark. the one who just longed to be with her family, her true family. “i had noticed the way you looked at him. at your father, as he stood with his new children. he talked to you once during the funeral and urged you to make conversation with baela and rhaena.” “then—then i saw you. you were sat on the sand, holding back your tears.” he scoffed, “it angered me, so much so that i wanted them to feel the pain that they were causing you.”

you shook your head, feeling the tears build up in your eyes at the reimagining of the old memories. “no..you do not speak truth, do not tell me that i’m the reason your eye was stolen?” your voice slightly raised, and started trembling. aemond noticed, reaching out to grab you before you moved away from him. “no! do not touch me, how dare you tell me that i’m the reason you’re in pain!”

aemond stood up quickly, “i would rather be horribly disfigured than to see you in pain.” he confessed. you looked up at him, confused. “the only time you cause me pain is when you’re not around me. that is the only time i feel true anguish. when the incident with my nephew happened i had feared that you would never speak to me again. that you would run off to dragonstone with your father.” he spoke, he was not yelling—but his voice grew louder.

“don’t do this to me aemond, i beg of you.” you said, a tear running down your cheek. “i do not want to be the reason that you are in pain, i wish not to burden you anymore than i have my entire existence.” you sobbed. “i have admired you, my entire life. please do not do this to me now.”

aemond walked closer towards you, grabbing onto your arms and pulling you closer towards him. both of your foreheads touching. “and i have admired you my entire life, my princess.” he whispered softly, wiping the tears off of your face.

you smiled softly, looking up at aemonds eyes before down to his pale lips. slowly, the both of you inched closer to each other, your lips grazing each others before they ultimately united. at first, it was soft, a kiss of longing and admiration before it grew hungrier and into a kiss of passion and want.

the two of you broke the kiss, panting as aemond smiled before leading you towards the bed, reconnecting the kiss. his lips finding his way towards your neck as you gasped his name, and clung onto him.

you laid down on the bed, facing aemond as he hovered over you, the two of you laughing slightly as he continued kissing you. your hands finding his way towards his hip and belt, and his undoing the back of your dress.

but before you could fully commit, aemond interrupted you. stopping to fully admire you, just as he had done his entire life. only then, you were just a product of royalty, and now you were his.

“i love you.” he whispered softly, a slight vulnerability escaping with each word. his entire life, aemond had felt alone—despite having you, he never knew if you had felt the same. surley, in this point in time, you had to have felt the same, right?

you smiled softly, you had waited a long time to hear those words. late nights in the kitchens, during sparing lessons, whenever you’d both ride your dragons out late at night. stolen moments like this between the two of you you had admired, but you wanted nothing more than his confession and now you had it.

your eyes flickered quickly towards the paper and quill on your nightstand. the paper was empty, the raven had already been sent out to dragonstone. war was to come, and daemon had promised to have you by his side.

“i love you too.”

♡ LOVE IT IF WE MADE IT - GETO SUGURU

WARNINGS: hurt to comfort, gn!reader

WORD COUNT: 619

JUNE DRABBLES

“i think we should break up.” “huh?”

you look at geto with wide eyes after those dreaded words you never thought you would hear come out of his mouth. it’s not that you didn’t know that something was wrong, he’s been stuck in his bed for days and barely eaten anything, but you didn’t think he’d fallen out of love with you.

“why? i thought we were good, did i do something?” you ask, sitting up in bed as you will certainly not be able to fall asleep after hearing this. you also switch the small lamp beside the bed on to get a good look at your boyfriend’s face.

he looks pale as he has for the last couple of days and there are already tears welling up in his eyes. “you haven’t done anything. i still love you more than anyone else in this entire world, but i’m gonna ruin you if we stay together. i honestly don’t know why you’ve stayed with me for this long, i feel like i’m going crazy.”

he doesn’t look at you, just up at the ceiling. is he really saying this? “why would you ruin me? i don’t understand, suguru. i don’t want to break up,” you look at him with tears in your eyes, letting out a sniffle which causes him to immediately sit up in bed and wrap his arms around your waist.

“i’m not well. i don’t know what to do…i just don’t want to weigh you down and be a burden. i don’t want you to start hating me,” geto mumbles while brushing his fingers through your hair. “i love you so much but i don’t want you to have to think about me and my troubles all the time…”

you pull away slightly to cup his cheeks, forcing him to look at you as you’re trying to stay composed. “just because you’re going through something doesn’t mean i’m just going to leave you. i wouldn’t have become your partner just to be here in your best times. you wouldn’t just leave me if i got depressed and didn’t want to do anything, right? even if i went a little crazy.”

he shakes his head. “of course not.” “then don’t try to break up with me because you think it’s best for me, because i’m not leaving you. i’m gonna stay right here and help you through this, okay? i could never hate you, and you never have to worry about that. i’m right here and i’m staying right here.”

geto looks smaller than he did just a month ago. he’s grown weaker and more tired, but hearing you talk like this, almost as if you’re fighting for him, he can feel a smile growing at the corners of his lips while his eyes are still filled with tears, some beginning to run down his cheeks. “are you sure, i-“ “yes i’m sure. i love you suguru and i’m gonna stay here.”

you hold him a little closer and allow him to bury his face into the crook of your neck. “i’m sorry for suggesting to break up, i just thought it was best for you,” he mutters while clinging onto your shirt, like he’s scared you’ll disappear if he doesn’t. “i don’t know what’s going on with me.”

“it’s okay, we’ll figure it out together,” you place a kiss to his cheek. “you’ll be okay and i’ll be here through everything, there’s nothing to worry about.”

he nods and smiles softly, pulling away to look at you. “i don’t know what i did to deserve you, you’re the love of my life,” he speaks before pressing his lips against yours, never wanting to let go.

[atlasblue85]

the thing about Armand calling what he did at the end of ep6 his one act of cowardice is like... babe ALL your acts are acts of cowardice, every single one of them!

he let Lestat destroy the original Paris coven because he was too afraid to make any change himself, whether out of fear of retribution from Rome or fear they wouldn't follow or whatever other reason.

and then trying to let the same thing happen with Louis, trying to let his presence destroy it again when Santiago got out of hand, he was too much of a coward to ever face Santiago directly but he was more than willing to sit idly by and watch it happen.

in San Francisco he's too much of a coward to say I love you to Louis for Lestat. he's too much of a coward to let Daniel go and only does it when Louis invokes The Dynamic. and whether you believe Louis actually did ask for his memories to be erased I feel either way doing it is cowardly. either he didn't ask and Armand was too afraid of him remembering everything and it ruining their carefully constructed relationship, or he did ask for it and well honestly the same thing, plus being too afraid to deny Louis.

even his whole distaste at making a fledgling I think on some level has to do with him being cowardly, he's seen the emotional toll it takes and doesn't want that for himself or anyone else but I also think fears not being able to read the mind of someone around him, because he wants total control.

everyone on the show manipulates those around them in a desire for control, but in different ways and for different reasons. for Louis it's to have a sense of control and power he never fully had in his human life as a black gay man in Louisiana, for Lestat it's because he believes his way of life, whatever it happens to be at the time, is the best and only way and needs everyone around him to do as he does, for Santiago it's because he wants power and i think also feels he has something to prove as the youngest of a very old coven. and Armand does it out of fear and need for control. he wants everything exactly in its place because he has to keep up the carefully constructed facade of his life, if he lets anything slip the whole thing could come crumbling down so he gets more and more desperate to keep it as is because that's easier than confronting himself.

You can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. I love Sebek but I can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he's never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out for his actions (which are always correct).

…… i can’t wait until these people are gone

This is in fact the ask that the draft didn’t save for so if my answer is worse than the original I will cry

My eye is legit twitching

So we all know this is bs but let’s go through point by point for why this is bs

“Eddie hasn’t done anything like that for him” (dropped everything and helped him) - this is honestly down to how they act with their emotions, Eddie bottles things until they turn into an emergency drop everything and deal with it situation but buck will have ongoing issues that he’ll need help with and he’ll seek it as it happens (e.g his parents or his injuries etc) and when he does Eddie IS there and shows up for him and helps him but we haven’t had him be in sort of a drop everything scenario (except the Buckley family dinner scene and we don’t know where he went after but the scene we see after that is buck talking to who? Eddie)

“Constantly makes jokes about bucks trauma” - as someone with ptsd and my own fair share of trauma and with traumatised friends I feel like once a certain level of rapport is reached you can joke with eachother about traumas 1. They both do it (e.g bucks “didn’t you just have one of those?”) 2. It’s never in emotional or vulnerable moments 3. It never crosses a line 4. Bold criticism considering Tommy made a daddy kink joke and a comment abt how bucks dad is still alive when buck was opening up abt why Bobby matters sm to him 5. It’s received and delivered well 6. It’s not actually constantly it’s a handful at most and the most outright one is abt the tsunami and that was HIS trauma too dont y’all forget my dude thought his son was dead for a hot minute

Told his team buck needed to get over being crushed by a fire truck- in that scene the writers did everything but flat out say he was projecting, when he’s talking abt bottling things up and his dads advice and all that stuff and the audience KNOWS that he’s just been through a bunch of traumas that he’s bottling up and “getting over” for the sake of Chris, they’re basically flat out telling you he’s projecting, now the minute that hen and bobby point out that buck feels alone what does Eddie do? He drags him out of bed and attempts to motivate him launching “operation buck up buck” in chimneys words, now mind the fact that he doesn’t do this for himself or give himself the same kindness because he genuinely believes you deal with things by ignoring them (reminder this is untherapised Eddie two eps away from fight club) but despite believing that he knows it’s what buck needs so he does it for him

He’s never once apologised for buck and made buck apologise to him- I’m assuming this is abt lawsuit era, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again no one in the lawsuit era was perfect that’s the whole point, either they’re all in the wrong or they’re all excused because they all had their reasons, Bobby kept buck behind and lied but he was scared to lose him, Buck sued and didn’t tell anyone and went no contact and shared personal shit but he’s just been through a bunch of trauma and his father figure and the man who was by his side the whole time through rehab basically said it isn’t good enough (in bucks brain) and that all that work still means he can’t get back to doing his life’s purpose, Eddie has had hit after hit trauma after trauma with no time to breathe in between AND THEN HIS BEST FRIEND GOES NO CONTACT BECAUSE OF WHAT BOBBY DID AND HE SUES BOBBY AND THE DEPARTMENT WITHOUT TALKING IT OUT WITH ANYONE AND SHARES PERSONAL INFO THAT HIS LAWYER THROWS IN HIS FACE, and while dealing with all the aforementioned trauma Eddie has to deal with Chris’ trauma and Chris missing buck and Eddie not being able to do anything abt it, so yeah honestly he WAS owed an apology (but again imo all sides have justification) and it’s not like he was a dick to buck for an extended period of time, he lasted one shift being bitchy and giving silent treatment and then buck had one emotional talk with puppy eyes and an apology and Eddie instantly was like ofc I forgive you🙄just don’t do it again☝️🤨 and again bold criticism when buck apologised to Tommy for what? Not being ready to come out to his friend in public after exactly one queer kiss and mid first queer date?? And then got ditched on the side of the road by Tommy???

He never once acted like a good friend outside of the will and the hospitals- “you don’t have to be anything for anyone, no one is the same from one day to the next and things like this change us so what changed in you?” “Did you say anything that wasn’t true? Well look maybe you could’ve come at it a little differently but if that’s how you feel, how they made you feel you have every right to say so” “that’s not your fault”“I had to do it- I know you did” “and what you think you failed? I failed that kid more times than I care to count and I’m his father but I love him enough to keep trying and I know that you do too” “there is no one in this world I trust with my son more than you”“you saved him, that’s how he remembers it and now its his turn to do the same to you” “now am I allowed to ask how you are?” “ you died buck you’re gonna feel a lot of different ways about that…I found the best way is to let yourself feel it” - and that’s not even all of them just a few favourites but my thumbs are sore

Eddie has left buck out from so many things and never realised it was wrong- 7x04 is literally the only time we’ve seen that and remember Tim said the whole episode is bucks perspective and I said this before the ep even aired in this ask but it’s still true that for Eddie I think he just genuinely is so secure in their friendship that he didn’t think buck would be insecure abt it and when he does he is actually the one who puts it together and sends Tommy to buck - I go a little more in depth in this post that turned out to be a draft that I freed from my drafts just for this ask also what did we see him exclude buck from? Basketball that he doesn’t like and that he’s asked him to join in multiple times? Watching a fight that he had no previous interest in? Muay Thai that he doesn’t know how to do and again showed no previous interest in? Like when buck and Eddie are close y’all say they’re codependent and unhealthy and when Eddie has other friends y’all say he’s a bad friend?

Tommy was the one who apologised to him - at EDDIES URGING BECAUSE BRO WAS LAID UP AFTER BUCK SPRAINED HIS ANKLE???😭😭

“Tommy has been doing all the things Eddie hasn’t” - youre so right actually like putting a damper on bucks mood or having a racist past or having like 10 lines and the majority of them being sardonic and kinda insensitive, making an emotional moment into a sexual one and having like 5 minutes of screentime 🤩🎀

Wow babe I have a degree in yappology and a minor in ranting for real sorry for the long response 😭😭😭

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

What’s the difference between Malleus and Idia? What Idia was about to do when he overbloted would have been just as bad as what Malleus is doing if not worse. (Releasing a bunch of OBs and reshaping the world would not be safe for everyone) is it just just because Idia has a more sympathetic back story? I understand that some people have their likes and dislikes, but I’m just curious. I love all my Twisted boys!

I’d say that the scale of Idia and Malleus’s machinations (and even both backstories involving the loss of a family) are similar. I don’t believe that Idia has the “more sympathetic” backstory; if anything, Malleus is also very relatable and sad because we can all relate to the fear of change + losing someone precious to us and/or wanting to stay in a happy "fantasy" world (ie TWST) forever. However, the methodology and the context surrounding their actions are not the same. That’s what makes Malleus’s actions so much more despicable to me. (Again, I want to stress that this is NOT an objective take; this is my own interpretation of the events, characters, and their motivations.)

Firstly, Malleus is exerting much more power over his victims and actively tries to maintain it. He has already robbed ~20,000 people (the population of Sage's Island) of their autonomy and essentially gaslit them into accepting it as their reality. Idia has employed no such physical control or emotional manipulation. All he has done is release Phantoms out of Tartarus to rampage around the world. Both he and Malleus are putting Twisted Wonderland in danger, yes--but Malleus is also committing the moral wrong of forcing his will upon others' bodies and minds. The only other OB to involve manipulation/mind control is Jamil, and even then that was on a much smaller scale by comparison. Whenever someone so much as challenges Malleus's word, he or his autonomous magic goes out of its way to trick them back into sleep or pulling them even deeper in--and this act is much more insidious than just ripping away their free will altogether (as Jamil had). Malleus is knowingly and willingly deceiving thousands and thousands of people; Idia's plan, meanwhile, never goes that far. It could be argued that his plan was to "play hero" to save people from Phantoms so that he could make friends this way (which is also deception), but let's remember that this was Ortho's suggestion, not Idia's. We have no clue if Idia himself would carry it out, nor it he would go to the same lengths of gaslighting that Malleus did. For all we know, he could have just drawn the line at letting the Phantoms run free and be "friends" with everyone.)

Even if we assume that Idia was fully intending to be just as deceitful, Idia and Malleus are very different people, so the context and motivations behind their OBs are very different as well. The loss that Idia experienced was that of a close family member, and he has been living with that grief for several years prior to his OB. His OB, then, is in an attempt to adapt to that lingering guilt and shame and to "fix" the past. When he loses to the other boys, he offers to "go" with Ortho to right his wrongs, but ultimately doesn't. He's willing to take all of the "burden" upon himself for what he has done in the aftermath. Malleus meanwhile lost his parents, who are figures he never became intimate with or really got to know because they vanished before he had hatched. What Malleus experiences before his OB is the fear and anxiety of losing his loved ones (Lilia, Yuu, etc.), something which has not happened yet. He is unable to accept these changes, so his OB is a desperate act to prevent those events from unfolding. Idia is fixated on correcting the past, and Malleus is fixated on stopping the future--he's determining everyone's future for them. Because of this, I perceive Idia as a person with hang-ups about previous life experiences that he's overcorrecting for while Malleus comes off like a three-year old throwing a tantrum and making it everyone else's problem too.

Another element to this is that whereas Idia has to take some level of accountability for his actions (even if it's just a scolding and banishment from his parents + feeling upset with himself), Malleus never does, even in scenarios where he clearly endangers the lives of his classmates. He can claim it's "by accident" or "just a misunderstanding" all he wants, but it won't erase the worry or the battles his classmates went through for the "surprise party" he wanted to have for them. He always walks away feeling as though he "did the right thing". So what happens when Malleus, AGAIN, endangers the lives of several people? Is his power and social status going to save his ass AGAIN? Is he going to be let off way easier than everyone else AGAIN? That's what's really frustrating to me. Malleus's refusal to accept change AND the consistent lack of accountability feels very... juvenile. In-character for Malleus, but still very juvenile. Of course, book 7 isn’t done yet so maybe Malleus will eventually see the error of his ways. Right now though? All of the other stories leading up to this point in time rarely show Malleus taking accountability for anything he does, so my expectations of him aren’t great to say the very least.

A common defense I hear for Malleus is that "he's still considered a baby by dragon fae standards". Yes, I know this. However, that doesn't give Malleus a pass for his behavior. This has always been my stance on this matter. To me, he is still at least old enough to know what is an abuse of power or not--yet he acts so hypocritical, it's infuriating. For someone who is supposedly a good leader (according to his own dorm members) and cares so much about his relations to other countries (to the point where Malleus chides Sebek for being rude to other royals), I sure do see a lot of inappropriate emotional reactions and acts of abusing his power/social status (both of which can seriously harm his public image and sully his political reputation) 💀

But again, that’s just my interpretation and opinion on the matter; if you think differently then that’s valid as well!

[quirkle2]

i'm sad so im gonna talk about dimple in the anime world domination arc and how he makes me a little ill

besides the divine tree arc, bc that's obviously where he rly shines, i think the wd arc is where we see the most Genuine Dimple. we see him just earnestly helping out any way he can during this whole thing, doing his absolute best to keep mob alive and anybody the kid cares about to boot. and Yeah, he has a motive to help the kid bc he's trying to earn his trust to manipulate him, but he Knows mob trusts him already (see mogami arc). he doesn't have to keep this up. i dont think dimple even has any of that on his mind at the time.

there's a couple lines in this arc from dimple that feel like they come straight from his soul and i never stop thinking about them. i'll talk about The Scene in a minute but

when they meet up with reigen and the others in the hideout, dimple does not have to say "let him rest, i'll fill you in," but he does. when mob is unconscious and vulnerable dimple does not have to protect him, but he does. when mob is fighting minegishi dimple does not have to stay—hell, when mogami shows up, somebody that dimple seems very afraid of, he does not have to stay, but he does. and when mob goes up that tower to confront serizawa and toichiro, dimple accompanies him, not rly bc reigen asks him to, but bc he seemed like he was planning on it from the start with that little "i know i know" that sounds so halfheartedly bothered

he doesn't have to do really Anything that he does in wd arc, and yet he's there and helping, and while you can argue that a lot of it might've been done just to keep mob alive and dimple in his favor, i think the majority of it was instinctual and real

mogami arc seemed like a turning point for dimple and mob's relationship, bc mob truly and completely put his life and wellbeing into dimple's hands and dimple's hands alone. dimple cracks some joke abt his uglier intentions and mob simply stares and says "i'm sure it'll be fine," and dimple visibly does not know how to react to this. like reigen says later: this is the first time somebody has put so much trust in him. dimple has No Idea what to do w this, and the sheer kindness of it makes him hesitate to take advantage of the kid

the fact that dimple is able to possess mob at all during wd arc goes against what we've been told before about espers and their mental barriers, which (and i believe this is touched on in the manga w more explanation but i haven't read it) shows just how much trust mob has in dimple. his mental barriers are already off 24/7 for the guy. dimple could probably possess him whenever the fuck he wanted

Something changed in dimple's mind between mogami arc and wd arc, and that's further proven by a line of his in s3. it's been a while since i've watched this part so correct me if i'm wrong but i think dimple says smth about forgetting that his original goal had been to become god. that he lost sight of that somewhere along the way, and just stopped thinking about it. even during divine tree arc, toward the end, he says smth about "has being around the unmotived shigeo caused me to lose sight of my goals and ambitions?" at some point dimple just completely dropped that goal and started being a genuine friend w no ulterior motives. started embracing that trust he's been given, and not letting it go to waste

yes, dimple half-lied to calm him down after the fire, but he tells reigen that he has reason to believe what he said was true. and when reigen comments that mob would hate him if he Knew he lied, dimple's reaction is Genuine Remorse. that face is not one of "damn my evil schemes r falling apart. aw drat" or "ohmy god i'm going to be exorcised" that is the face of a guy who feels real and honest regret and guilt over even the Thought of his friend hating him. that is a guy who shrinks into himself at the idea of mob not calling him a friend anymore

and so.when mob runs to his parents' room and That Scene happens, dimple's first and genuine response is to scream at mob to look away, shigeo! look away! protecting the kid, protecting his innocence, bc no kid should have to look at something so horrible, and dimple Cares about this kid. he doesn't know when he started caring, but he cares now, and in a dire situation like this, dimple's knee-jerk reaction is to comfort and protect this boy, not take advantage of him. do u understand how important this scene is to me.

this rly has nothing to do w the story itself but i am an English Dub Enjoyer and dimple's va is Outstanding, especially when he voices that look away, shigeo! look away! it sounds so panicked, so desperate—there's rly nothing in the rest of the show that sounds quite like it bc it's so horribly despairing and pleading. he just wants shigeo to look away, to not stare at his family's burning faces. it's a devastatingly raw command that burns just like the walls do. that line and its delivery is so haunting to me

[bonecarversbestie]

It seems like the Inner Circle has a "wait and see if it magically gets better" approach when it comes to the Archeron’s mental health.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that Feyre came to them when she was at her lowest and being around them made her better because she was with her mate, she was training, she had friends who gave her power and that was exactly what Feyre was looking for.

And that was great for Feyre, but it seems the IC and Feyre expect this same tactic to apply to her sisters too, and they become either resentful or complacent when it doesn’t.

Winter solstice is a good example of this. Feyre paid Nesta to come to a holiday that she did not want to attend. Nesta attended and was polite, sat quietly, thanked her sister for her presents and left, and everyone acted like she was so rude and that she's stubbornly refusing to get over what happened in the war. I think that bias comes from that scene being written in Feyre's POV. Feyre is a character without much empathy. She simply doesn't understand why being around her precious Inner Circle isn't magically healing Nesta like it did for her.

This goes for Elain, too. In ACOWAR when it was clear Elain was suffering, who tried to help her before Lucien got there? The IC seemed to decide not to try and do anything with Elain and Nesta until Feyre got there to tell them what to do. And when Elain started to do better, they kinda just forgot about her trauma. Like they assumed she was healed just because she has an easy life in Velaris amongst the ✨IC✨💕.

You could also argue that Feyre didn’t heal in Spring for related reasons. Tamlin clearly wanted very badly to help Feyre, but none of his attempts were working and it made him neglectful and short tempered. But truthfully, I’m not sure there was ever much he could have done to help Feyre. He could have done better than he did, don’t get me wrong, but I think he’s often given credit for damage caused by Amarantha and Feyre needed her Mate and new home and new family to heal, and Tam could never be that.

And isn’t that kinda the pattern that SJM is following? Woman finds her mate and found family and they help her heal? For Feyre, it was Rhys and the IC and for Nesta it was Cassian (kinda 🙄) and the Valkyries. I have no doubt it will be the same for Elain. Lucien will undoubtedly be the only one who bothers to notice she’s still suffering and she will find healing with him and her own found family (whoever they may be).

It is mentioned several times that the Archerons were never a close family. I think they were always destined to go their own separate ways in the end.

People comes and goes. Colin eyes are dancing in the room following her. She is too far away. He wanted to reach her, but she's in the center and he's in the corner. This is her night. So he waits, giving her the moment.

His eyes call for her. Their find each other. She looks at him and his body has his own will and gets closer to her. Where he belongs. He can't stop looking to her.

She is so beautiful that he can't believe that she's real. The night feels like a fantasy tale. She's a butterfly, ehereal and dreamy.

They were so many things in his mind. So many things he wants to say. He's so impressed, so proud of her. Of what she'd done. She's free now. He feels free too. Like some heavy weight has left his body.

it's something different on her, a calming force, a strength in her voice. But it's kind of nature. The softness of it all makes him feel soft too.

She speaks and he can't comprehend the words that came from her mouth. He heard them and they feel they come from the depths of the void. From a different world. A different life. A life he couldn't be more afraid. A life without her.

The strings in his heart that connects to hers press him deeply. His breath hurts. It's water in his eyes. Just one tear could fill an ocean.

She's his family. She always was. It's not home without her.

She's letting him go. He recognises the feeling. He tried to do the same for her before. But it felt wrong. It feels so wrong. He can't let go. He doesn't want to let go of the feeling that her presence makes in his soul.

What he would be, more than the shadows of a man?

She talks about forgiveness. He knows he hurt her. He's not proud of it. They hurt each other. More than they thought they were able to do so or even want it. He was so full of resentment and distrust. But he needed to feel it. To embraced completely to let it go.

He missed her. Even when she was in the same room. He wanted to touch her, to kiss her. He was too proud to let her know.

He can't never be able to be far away from her. She needs to know.

A piece of her heart was in her letters. But her mind was all there too. They were full of her kindness and curiosity. They were so cleaver and full of her humor. She was her real self there. He had the privilege of knowing her like nobody else. He loved her all along.

He needed her. The way they made him feel alive and close to home. He was so lost without his letters.

She made him come back. Her voice always calls him like a siren's song.

He loves Pen, but he loved Whistledown without him knowing all along. He loves both of them. It's the woman he chose to marry, who's in front of him. He doesn't imagine not being her. He doesn't want to. She's the most brave woman he knows.

He was so jealous. Jealous of her success. She made her dreams come true before he knew his. He was jealous of her writing and having to share her with it. He felt so little around her.

She could have the entire world if she wanted to. Why she would chose him? Why she would love him? He never could find a reason. He didn't have anything to give. He wanted to be so worthy of her love.

He can't imagine let that warm feeling go.

He didn't have to find one. What reason has to do with love? Maybe he was just the luckiest man int he world. To love such woman and she loving him back. Lucky that the destiny made her know her. To find each other.

He would do of his love his reason. His purpose. Nothing else, nothing more. He doesn't want nothing more.

He wants his wife. He needs to say it to her. Every day. In every moment he can. He missed her so much.

He wants to makes her smile every day. But he want to be there when she cries, and she's angry with him. When they fight for the most silly things. He wants to be there with her. And dance with her, together, the rest of their lives.

[raayllum]

like Callum made the right choice in 5x08 for his character and the thematic narrative. Thematically, Rayla cannot permanently die (she's too sacrificial) nor can she have a partner, honestly, who'd be willing to sacrifice her like that. Callum also cannot be willing to sacrifice her like that for the life of a stranger dragon he's never met, or not take the dark magic risk; not only is this how he's always clearly been ever since S1 ("But not everything [has changed]: I would do anything for you") but doing so would make him exactly like the worst of Viren: "If you have to choose between [the world] or your brother, pick the egg." Callum is having a dark path arc, but he's not having an antagonist or villain arc.

That said, there's a reason Callum is Chained Up when he gives the spell and locked in a damp dark brig and has to use the snake-chain spell specifically, because TDP loves its irony: what gets more ironic than freeing yourself from chains in order to free and save your girlfriend, when you know in doing so you're chaining yourself further and further to the main villain and his will in doing so? When you know that you would?

There's a reason 5x08 ends with Callum looking scared and sad and the shot of the snakes, because those aren't fun things (hi Ocean arcanum epiphany) to learn or fully accept about yourself. There's a reason that what characters justify with "I had no choice" or "this is the right thing to do" isn't always the literal case. "I had to, to save my friends" or you could've left it. You could've tried something else than dark magic. But you didn't, because you thought that was the one thing you could do in order to not lose your friend, so you did it; You Made Your Choice.

For example, if we're talking what happened in 5x08 in a "this would keep The World 100% safe" type of deal? Callum fucked up twice. He gave the spell and he didn't know Finnegrin would be dead or unable to use it by episode's end. He did dark magic — with no idea that it wouldn't let Aaravos automatically possess him in that moment — because a world where he didn't even try and save her was worse to him. But it was a risk! Both of those things were massive risks!

Just because they didn't amount to the extreme consequences they could have had, yet, doesn't mean that they won't, since soo much of TDP is just "this thing had unforeseen/unwanted consequences as a result of the choices you made" (the loss of Rayla's team, Harrow's death, Sarai's death, the possession at all, Karim's banishment, Zubeia's corruption, Claudia's 5 season long descent, and I'm sure going to the Starscraper next season, just to name a few quick examples off the top of my head). As Harrow says:

H: But I do know I will pay the price for the choices I've made. I've done terrible things. I thought they were necessary. Now I don't know.

Rayla thought she had to leave; she didn't. Rayla thought she had to find Viren, twice; that wasn't true. She chose to leave both times. She also chose to come back both times. She could've doubled down, but she didn't. Viren, finally, didn't.

Every step forward is a choice.

That's true for Every Single Character in the show.

To deny them that is to deny the agency they do have in the circumstances they find themselves in; Soren could've not stabbed his father, Terry could've chosen to tackle rather than stab Ibis, Viren could've chosen to grieve his son. That doesn't mean they didn't have good reasons to do the things they were doing, that doesn't mean their justifications weren't strong, that doesn't mean they were necessarily wrong to do so. But they made Choices.

So did Callum. And he chose what regrets, sacrifices, and losses he could live with, in order to save the person he decided he couldn't live without.

It's that simple, and that complicated.

YUUJI ITADORI’s whole family is in the movie business, but he’d only starred in minor roles before the directors were looking for someone to play the main character in Jujutsu Kaisen and his uncle Sukuna, who was already cast, recommended him and his brothers. Was quite psyched about dying his hair (because Kaori wouldn’t let him before) but he spent a hell of a long time having to learn fighting techniques and complained about the pain but definitely bulked up a little. One of the most social of the cast, he’s sort whose social media is bursting with photos of him on set, fellow actors and fans. And yes, real life Yuuji is just as clueless as his on-screen persona.

MEGUMI FUSHIGURO brought his actual dogs to filming - originally there were only supposed to be one Divine Dog but he didn’t want to bring one without the other. The stylists love him because they never have to do anything with his hair as it’s already naturally spiky and messy. He and Yuuji’s on-screen interactions are a hundred per cent genuine as they get on pretty well. Off-screen Megumi looks and acts emo as his character, but more playful and judgmental. Nobody knows or suspects it was actually him that stole Gojo’s sunglasses, Momo’s broomstick and Noritoshi’s arrows. As he’s the one with the most experience with filming, having played secondary rules in teenage TV series or a cameo in his dad’s movies, Yuuji and Nobara actually look up to him a lot but do not trust his “advice” for acting. Tsumiki was going to play a bigger role alongside Megumi but with other projects coming up she decided to just play his character’s sister.

NOBARA KUGISAKI is, on the contrary to character, a city girl. One thing she does share with her Jujutsu Kaisen character however is the impulsive urges to over shop but for exotic food. Nobara is the most Internet famous actors on set due to being a part time social influencer rating restaurants. A running joke amongst the cast is how Nobara arrived to the auditions: getting directions wrong for another audition, Resonance, and ending up at Jujutsu Kaisen but decided to ball and go along with it. Sadly she eventually decided to leave Jujutsu Kaisen for Resonance when they called her back so the directors had to kill off her character; everyone will deny it but they all cried during her leaving party. She still hangs out with the JJK cast though.

CHOSO KAMO is no stranger to the movie industry, having played a few cameos in movies like Wing King, Blood and Supernova or some ads; he was so hyped and proud when the directors announced not only would they be casting Yuuji as the main role but Eso and Kechizu would be voice acting he wouldn't stop crying or taking photos (he and Jin, actually). He had to grow his hair out for the role but after that decided to keep it long, delighting his mother and all his female co-stars as Choso's very okay with them playing or styling it. He's definitely the big brother to the entire cast, splitting up Nobara and Yuuji’s arguing, chasing after Megumi’s dogs and even trying to protect everyone from Gojo’s pranks. That scene where his character started sobbing at being called big bro? When asked how he pulled it off so realistically in an interview Choso admitted he just thought of when all his younger brothers started walking and crawled to him instead of their parents. Then proceeded to bawl his eyes out again.

GOJO SATORU is a doofus both off and on screen. Some joke he barely has to act at all, seeing as his behavior never changes, varying between entertaining the younger actors with his boasts of being the best sensei ever and impressions of past characters played in Infinity, Hollow Purple and Six Eyes or annoying all his co-stars by pretending he can’t see through the blindfold despite the thinness and bumping into everyone and everywhere. One of the first people cast in Jujutsu Kaisen, he “persuaded” the directors to also star his best friend Geto, claiming they had never ever ever done a project without each other before and wasn’t going to start now. Absolutely the sort to sign everybody’s autographs and wink at the ladies at fan events but a menace to reporters as he’d just shout “Teleporting!” and run off with his long ass legs ever since JJK started. In response to people grieving over the death of his character he only posted “They think its Gojover, I’m offended”.

GETO SUGURU was originally going to play a role on the good side - the role Nanami took, actually, before the directors decided he was better as Kenjaku and Gojo decided it would be funny if the both of them were enemies. Geto is looked up to by his younger co-stars (Gojo complains that it isn’t him) for support and advice due to his even longer experience in acting in Cursed Spirit and Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. The only time he’s ever caused trouble was when he somehow found a megaphone and nobody could stop him from shouting exaggerated instructions - “Sojo Gatoru, again!” “Punch harder, IIIITADORIIIII!” “Cleave! Cleave! I said cleave, Ryomen!” - at everyone currently acting. During an interview he said the only time he couldn’t stay in character was when Kenjaku popped open his brain; he was rather grossed out by the whole thing.

KENTO NANAMI’s makeup takes about as long as Sukuna’s and that’s because it takes forever to sharpen his face and cheekbones and is not actually a blond. Is as fed up with Gojo’s antics as he is on screen, but off-screen Kento is quite relaxed and the one to post a lot of those “I’m about to get ready for filming and you’re coming with me” tours behind the scenes. He’s one of those underrated actors who don’t get the main roles but whatever they do they do well - Kento only got his big hit in Seven to Three that led to his role in JJK. They had to retake his death scene many times since everyone couldn’t stay in character, sad that he would be leaving so soon; Kento joked about going to Malaysia after his role was done in Jujutsu Kaisen.

RYOMEN SUKUNA was one of the first the directors hired for Jujutsu Kaisen, thanks to his fame from his long acting as villains in Malevolent Shrine, Divine Flame and Disgraced One. He wasn’t too happy about dying his hair pink but the tattoos did grow on him over time, as did the habit of calling all his co-stars “brats”. He’s absolutely terrifying when filming but at most he’s just old-man cranky off screen; if you see any photos of the cast they uploaded on social media, he’s the one who’s always caught off-guard and face frozen in some scowl at being suddenly photographed. Also a complete dumbass when it comes to social media, so his account is pretty much handled by his brother and manager Jin Itadori or recently his nephew Yuuji.

As an ex Hellaverse fan and current DA fan, there’s something so healing about watching these respective audiences realize Stolas (HB) is and always has been a massive piece shit while simultaneously realizing that Solas (DA) is and always has been a genuinely good person who’s been unfairly maligned. What a time to be alive.

Certainly helps that the game actually allows Solas his faults, allows him to be our antagonist, without coddling him and claiming he's never done anything wrong in his life. Also that his kindness and desire to do the right thing exist somewhere other than the creators' head.

the prince (2).

₊˚ ᗢ suna rintarou x figure skater! fem! reader.

⤷ [drabble] you finally enter inarizaki high.

“seriously? the prince is here?”

“where are they? i want an autograph!” 

“no way! what class are they in?”

you’ve heard many things about inarizaki high, but you would have never expected such a large crowd of students to greet you! they must have done this with every transfer, you thought. it's a special day for you then! your smile grew wide as you waved to several students. your coach had given you the green light to attend school again. after training for your free skate program for the last three months, she thought it would be a good opportunity for you to take a break. she figured you might be bored of doing continuous salchows. 

you turn every corner, peeking your head over the wave of students in search of a tall, dark-brown haired, fox-eyed boy. you gently push through the crowd, whining in frustration as you begin to feel lost at sea. there were so many students pouring out of classrooms. too many voices for you to keep track of. shifting your head off to the side, you can see your target just a few feet away. his obnoxious loud teammate had his arm around his neck, his twin pointing out with a disgusted expression about how mentaiko and pudding do not mix. as they bickered back and forth, you notice the thick kansai accent oozing off of their words, making suna’s speech stand out all the more to you. 

calling out his name, his head quickly faced you, his arms instinctively outstretched as he is met with a tight hug. you wrapped your legs around his torso, beaming brightly as you latch onto him like a koala. his eyes were wide as saucers, what were you doing here? last time you called, you said you’d be busy with your free skate. and yet now you were here, snuggling up to him as if there wasn’t a crowd. he sighs before patting your back, rolling his eyes to the whistles he heard from atsumu’s annoying lips. 

it’ll be one hell of a week for him. 

you knew that suna was failing physics, you just didn’t know it was this bad. on his paper were several red x’s, every other question had something wrong with it. he would do calculations where there were none or completely wrong calculations. your eye twitches a little when you notice he wrote down that a cardboard box weighed twelve hundred tons. in what world did he think this was right? pressing your lips together, you lightly hit the top of his head with his rolled-up test, causing him to lower his phone and stick out his tongue playfully. what an annoying guy! 

the boys’ volleyball team was more than stoked to meet you. after seeing your performance, they were hooked on asking you everything they wanted to know about figure skating. how does the point system work? how much did it cost to start the sport? but they’ll trail onto more personal questions: where did you find suna? how did you guys become friends? what was he like when he was a kid? you would answer all of them with a cheerful expression, much to suna’s horror and disbelief. you were sitting at the table, blabbering about how he used to be chased around by a kid who picked his nose, unknowingly feeding his well-kept secrets to the others. 

though, when he looks at the excited expression on your face, he doesn’t have the heart to tell you to stop. even when you talk about his stomach nearly exploding at the number of chuupets he ate as a kid, or the time he received a volleyball spike to the groin, none of it mattered. if anything, it makes it clear to the others that you were far out of their league. every part of your life had been in one way or another connected. whether it be phone calls at night, talking about the foods you ate or the countries you’ve visited, or his attempts at pigeon mail when he got his phone taken away, he and you were like soulmates. you knew him better than he did for himself, and you’d say the same.

while they are fighting with each other about the logistics of their ice skating, he slips his hand under the table, squeezing yours as you both turn to look at each other. a giggle escapes your lips as atsumu and osamu shake each other by their shoulders, arguing about something nonsensical. 

the next day, aran suggested that you try out volleyball, something you’ve expressed interest in after seeing them practice. suna groans as you tug him by his arm, dragging him onto the court with you. suna was begging you the other day to help him with a physics exam, something he’d never done until now. his efforts were washed away when the team captain showed up to say he had no exams that week. kita was kind enough to teach you the basic stance. guiding you to lower your body and hold out your forearms. you give osamu a thumbs up, signaling him to serve the ball. 

however, with atsumu’s relentless annoyance over not being able to serve first, osamu puts too much force into his serve. you instinctively flinch and close your eyes, hearing the slam of a ball. you see suna standing in front of you, with a very red forehead and bleeding nose. he sighs, whispering under his breath about how much he didn’t want you to play volleyball with the twins. 

osamu felt a shiver run down his spine as suna gave him a very frigid stare. an evident bulge forming in his neck. however, the anger that was building up in his chest quickly dissipated when you held onto his cheeks, wiping away at the blood with a handkerchief. you press your lips together in focus as you lightly brush away his hair. he can feel the surface of his face grow warmer as your breath hovers over his lips. 

everything will be fine, he thought, it was worth getting hit by the ball if he could see this.

iwtv series is incredible because two episodes ago i was like: "Armand, how dare they make you suffer so much". Then the next episode i was like: "oh, look at that smug arsehole, fuck you, Armand". But now, not half the new episode, i am again like: "Leave Armand alone, he has never done anything wrong in his life". Assad Zaman the actor you are. The puppy eyes you can pull.
