[danganronpa-ship-tourney]

The sexist gay Kokichi site being lost is like that DanganRonpa ship review WattPad fic getting deleted, where they saw Kaede as a manipulative th0t who manipulated Shuichi, and Kaito as homophobic & transphobic (they also ship SaiŌma which explains alot).

TAHT GOT FUCKING DELETED?!?!

AND THEN

AND THEN

HUNTER AND WRECKER LOCKED EYES WITH CROSSHAIR AND THE MOOD FUCKING SHIFTED

LIKE OH MY GODDDD

THE WAY THEY VISIBLY TENSED, YOU COULD FEEL THE TENSION AND SUSPICION THROUGH THE SCREEN

Hunter’s eyes darkened, Wreckers eyes darkened, they both clenched their fist, their posture straightens because that’s a threat. He has been trying to kill them EVERY TIME they have met. OF COURSE they would respond that way to the man who betrayed them (EVEN WHEN THE CHIP WAS NO LONGER WORKING).

BUT HES A CHANGED MAN GUYS HES YOUR BROTHER AGAIN PLEASE YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME CROSSHAIR SAY SOMETHING OMEGA SAY SOMETHING RAGHHHHHH

this episode. Is everything to me. We stay WINNING. BUT I’m also so scared for the upcoming episodes bc if we already got the reunion then what the FUCK is going to happen later on ??? Ik Omega wanted to free the other prisoners, so they will probably do that, but I’m genuinely so afraid.

[halogalopaghost]

dude im watching the 2003 show for the first time and i just watched SAINW and DAMN like I am in shambles 👍like I knew it was gonna be rough but like JEEZE like i cant get over how they killed off mikey leo raph like damn or how raph reahced for leo as he was dying even though they weren’t talking for so many years like 😭😭😭😭😭 I WILL NEVER EMOTIONALLY RECOVER FROM THIS and like what happened to the Donnie in that universe like he would’nt just leave them so did he just die or something ??? RAAAAAAA and like i tried talking to my sister about this episode and she didn’t really care so now im yelling about it to you bc like DAMN poor Donnie and leo looked so scarred and Mikey missing and arm and raph missing an eye like they went through it‼️‼️‼️ that episode was crazy like so much happened in it I need to sit in silence for an hour and process

Oh my condolences skgbskfns 💀 yeah SAINW is a life changing experience and I'm NOT kidding, you're never going to stop thinking about it!!

As for what happened to Donnie, there's nothing ever established in canon...but Peter Laird had some ideas.

Once you've finished your hour of silence, I have some fic recs for you,

Peripheral Visions by slipstream

An absolutely haunting fic that follows Raph and the universe struggling to reconcile how Don managed to change their future. I think about it constantly.

As It Never Will Be (mine)

Don decompressing and attempting to process what he witnessed during SAINW

Loose Ends by T33LA

A sort of follow up to the above story, Donnie's paranoia about the future crops up in some unusual—and potentially harmful—ways

Enjoy your suffering!

[xamaxenta]

please pardon my zosan I have since recovered

also please pardon how long this is LMAO

sanji pov

You were simple

easier to know than the back of my own hand.

(Surely my hands had more fine lines,

more precision,

more substance than you could muster,

didn’t they?)

You ate

you slept

you moved,

so singleminded,

determined,

toward your goal.

Your determination surely enviable,

even in the simplicity

you seemed to drown in.

You were stone,

cut single facet,

no refractions to shine through you,

no reflections to bounce from your dull planes,

cast shadow and rough hewn edge

shown proudly.

But then you smiled at him,

encouraged kindly while he spoke,

so animatedly,

about something you didn’t understand.

(Something none of us understand,

he’s smarter than he knows)

You held her hand

when she woke too early

for it to be anything but a nightmare.

(Though I was jealous,

I knew never to interrupt)

You caught him,

each time he leapt to you

with so much trust that you wouldn’t falter.

(such trust was duly earned,

I suppose,

for I never saw you drop him)

In those moments I realised,

maybe being stone isn’t so bad.

Your solidity reassuring,

your shade comforting,

your rough edges grounding,

easy to grip.

Only at your surface

are you dull,

I now know.

When cut, you show colours so beautiful,

patterns so intricate,

I am stricken by their beauty.

Swirling hues of kindness,

responsibility,

loyalty,

dance across you

like nothing I’ve ever seen.

I look at you and learn

that it’s easier

to see beauty in simplicity

than the complex shapes

and colours

that glint on diamond’s edge.

HOMEDAWHG COSMOS CAN I JUST SAY

IN SHAMBLES this rhythm is sOOO GOOD im salivating the next line for “i suppose” on its own thoughtful maybe yearning wanting PWUAPWUWHSOAHE

i also have a weakness for zosan bc theyre like narusasu coded im sorry yall dont kill me for the comparison, theyre like toxic in a super fucking funny way but it can have a sweet edge m everhrh

This is mad cute thank u for sharing ur moment of weakness zs

[1-800-iluvhockey]

no fr I am in shambles still about it

and 7/7 being national koi fish day, ‘77 being j*hn’s birth year….. THAT JULY NINTH BEAT OF YOUR HEART 😭

I am not okay but omg I am so ready!!!!!!!!!

💜🫶

[icharchivist]

Duuuude

I was basically constantly crying throughout the And You event

Sure, I was a bit suspicious of Orologia at first, but then they're so genuine and they really just want what's best for us and to minimize suffering and there went the waterworks and then throughout all the different timelines, because I felt so, so bad for them

And oh god, when they were dying

I was physically sobbing when we fought them, in genuine despair and when the Singularity changed the option I had to pause because I was weeping because I was so happy and relieved

I don't usually cry at Gbf events but this one just really destroyed me, it's so good

SAAAAAME SAME SAME SAME!!!!

It's been a long while since i have been ACTUALLY DEVASTATED by a granblue event. I was in SHAMBLE for the whole duration of the event and weeping all my way through it. What a feat.

I remember when we first started to hear about Orologia in like, their journal appearance and then mentions here and there and it was just... what is up with them? and then we got the trailer for the anni and somehow they looked soooo sus in it.

We went in thinking "Logia is def going to be sus" and then before the Prologue is even over you have Logia talk about how they'd do anything to protect you and then have their voice break as they're holding you as a child in their arms because you're so warm and tiny and it's like. oh. oh they love this child. Like, they decided to parent this child. Forever. and from this point forward this was the waterworks, and it got worse at every step.

Having to watch Logia trying so hard to be a good parent to MC. Also seeing how they manipulated fate because they didn't want us to be lonely by having Seox join us early. And then. And then having to watch them constantly locked in a loop in which no matter what, MC dies, and Logia is devastated. And Logia isn't devastated because "without the Singularity the world could turn bad" but because "tHIS IS MY BABY STOP HURTING MY BABY" and i'm just weeping all the tears from my body.

And the fact that they noticed eventually that everything they did to make MC's life easier was the reason MC kept dying... and that they still stubborningly kept trying because they didn't want to sacrifice MC's happiness. That they wanted SO HARD to find another way. One way to keep MC happy AND be by their side AND have them survive. and they couldn't have all three. and they still tried. over and over and over again.

by the end of the first part i was a total mess and i knew for a fact i'd die for Logia, and the set up that Logia was likely to die by the end of the event was the most terrifying thing of all time. I still can't recover from the rollercoaster of emotion.

And then... the final fight. How everything was set up for us to kill them. and the visual representation of fate forcing itself on us by giving us a single choice: killing them. And us proving that we can challenge fate. That we can change what's written. That we can save them.

I JUSTTTT AM NEVER RECOVERING. The event managed to make us love Logia so easily and then threatened to take them away and it was the most emotionally tortured i've been by granblue.

I feel that like, esp with how much emphasis there was on "MC's father has abandoned us and MC is suffering from that and desperately wants to find their father again" just sets up so well, imo, this desire for MC to have a family. Like. Personally i know i get choked up everytime they mention MC is missing their father or wondering why they've been abandonned. So to see someone... So. SO dedicated in being a parent to MC. SO unwilling to abandon MC. is just breaking me. i'm in shamble.

Orologia best character ever i would do anything for them. Glad to see they had their effect on everyone bc man. MAN!

Anyway always bringing it back bc it's killing me but did you see the extra Logia art they shared during one of the recent festival

im never recovering. ever. god "and you" was such a fantastic event man.

[seiwas]

miss sel...... i have yet to recover from your gojo fic............ i do not know what to do i am in shambles

anyways iwa thought:

(big) spooning iwa <3

KOIIII 🥺🥺🥺 omg thank u for reading it 🥺🥺🥺 i saw ur tags!! i will be getting to them very soon 💗 you are so lovely 🥺

BUT THE IWA THOUGHT… of big spooning hajime 🥺 i get so incredibly soft thinking about this 🥺 because 🥺 just the image of clinging onto him for warmth and comfort and cuddles 🥺 of giving HIM cuddles 🥺 which i know he looooves. he’ll probably never admit to it as much as he does but i like thinking abt him tired from a day’s work, just looking forward to snuggle up into you 🥺 can you imagine that? a normally strong, so fit, extremely dependable man seeking out the one thing he wants to rest in? (you) OOHHH 🥺🥺🥺 the trust in that 🥺🥺🥺 the intimacy 🥺🥺🥺 im LOVE him 🥺🥺🥺

[brokebuckkmountain]

I’m entering a strange new chapter in my life right now. Very lonely, very empowering, and overall really making me realize how much I’ve grown tf up.

Like, I am in a good upswing right now, as hesitant as I am to say that (because I know how tenuous they can be). I know I can’t keep everything great forever, but I’m enjoying the energy that comes from crawling out of a depressive episode and dedicating my time to stuff that matters. My 25th is around the corner and I feel so goddamn mature.

I just hit a point where I realized I needed to cut as much as the negative from my life as I could. And if that left me with two whole friends, so be it. I have so much more energy to focus on other shit when I’m not constantly getting mad at the people around me or mentally drained by the shit they say to me. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot easier to manage my mental health when I’m the only person I answer to, not friends making backhanded comments that make me feel like shit and egg on the issues they know I’m dealing with. When you’re the type of person who isn’t necessarily kind to themselves, it’s easy to want to find refuge in your friends as a support system. But if those friends only poke at your insecurities and treat you poorly, you might just wind up taking care of yourself out of spite. If you want a job done right, do it yourself- and if no one is going to love me right, goddammit I’m going to do it.

My job remains insanely stressful, especially with my promotion. But it’s nice that the only drama in my life I can clock out of and forget about once I get home. It’s not perfect, and I do get stressed out constantly and have been pulling so much overtime it’s exhausting. But. I’ve been on my daily routine lately. Working out, taking my vitamins, solid sleep schedule, knocking out errands, doing all the small things I wanted to do before but always let slip through the cracks (like side work projects and goodie bags for my coworkers and keeping in contact with acquaintances). I actually have the mental energy to text people back, go on impromptu dinner invites, and clean my apartment.

It’s not lost on me that when I dropped the people constantly stressing me out, my daily moods got way better. How instant the change was threw me though.

This is such a weird, lonely, empowering time for me. I really don’t have any close friends, just coworkers I can hang out with outside of work every now and then and weekly phone calls with the people that live far away. I don’t do much outside of going to work and going home, but I’m okay with it. If I have to buckle down for a few months, focus on making my money and working on my mental health, so be it. Yeah, I’m a social butterfly who is trying not to go insane without constant plans and hangouts and parties. But I’d rather be a little bored than out and about with people that make me unhappy, leaving me so emotionally drained I don’t have energy for myself.

I know I’ve been panicking about the big 25th birthday (as I do for every year older I get, but especially this one). But if this is what my brain is like fully developed, maybe I don’t mind so much. Teenage me would be horrified at the lack of drunken nights out and romantic flings. At the fact that I always do the same errands on a certain weekday, get a ton of fulfillment from a job well done, and spend my free nights in. But I’m so much calmer. When the bad moments hit, I feel more capable of working through them and getting myself back to an emotionally stable state.

I had no idea how much my toxic friends were making me worse, until I decided I didn’t want them around anymore. I’ll probably fuck around and dye my hair a new color to signify this new chapter in my life. There’s a lot changing at the same time right now. But I’m super okay with it. Whatever comes next, I know I can handle it because right now I’ve never been more comfortable with my own company. If I’ve got to be on my own for a few months, at least I’ll be with someone who actually wants me to succeed.

[kithtaehyung]

RYEN!

gosh .. how do i even begin with the more mv.. that man was not hobi .. it was HOSEOK. im so in love with his outfit it definitely ranks second before his dior outfit!

if someone told me he was going to do a semi rock concept in his song i would tell them THEY’RE CRAZY, DELUSIONAL, AND INSANE?? because who WOULD’VE GUESSED ?? his voice, his flow, his rhythm, everything about that song deserves all the awards 🤯 im definitely more scared of the other member’s solo projects ( in a good way ofc! ) and wonder if they’ll do different concepts we would never expect from them!

also so sorry if it looked like i disappeared for a while .. 🥺 i actually “submitted” an ask but i’m not sure if i signed it off with my name or submitted it at all 😭

all i said was that i was a clown for misinterpreting 3tan yoongis line .. ( “one day” ) 🤡 my face when i realized 🤡 HES GOING IN RAW GUYS I REPEAT HES GOING IN RAW 😭 ( if im wrong again i might just need to invest in glasses ) 🤡

i also check your page regularly now that i have free time and find myself re-reading your writings for jin because im so in love with them and seokjin 🤍 i remember reading last november and jin posted on his instagram, and what was it..? A SHIRTLESS PICTURE OF HIMSELF?!!!??? the way i screamed so LOUD WOAH

oh man i could only imagine your reaction to it .. thats all i have to share for today 😇 i still need to recover from jins shirtless picture and more, lets hope this time i submitted this and signed off my name 🥹

cheers,

- 🍷

WINE HELLOOOO i see it i see this message!! I missed you😭 don’t even get me started on the more mv bc i’m just gonna start talking about it and will not stop??? it’s so fresh and genius and none of us are prepared for what me gonna happen on July 15th.. (or for any future projects yeah🧍‍♀️)

And not just the MV. You’re right, even the song is dizzyingly intelligent in his flow and rhythm and word choice and schemes. I was reading an analysis and my head spun bc of all the things that we were missing just from the English translations being so off🫠 But I digress before I get into it💀

LMAOOO YEAH YOONGI REALLY WENT THERE WITH HIS IMPLICATION IM SCREAMING STILL!!! Goodbye I am no longer here🙃

My… reaction… to the Jin pic……………. I didn’t know whether to chuck my phone at the nearest wall or launch it off a cliff🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️ I WAS LOSING IT. IN SHAMBLES DO U UNDERSTAND?????😫 he said hot boy summer and that’s that‼️ good luck to any of us recovering from that ever🫠

[chateautae]

i’m absolutely not okay and am still sobbing as i type this wtf :(((( this was one of the saddest things i’ve ever read and i’ve read stories where there’s a major character death and where there’s not a happy ending, but this one topped the cake for sure😭 sammy you are the queen of smut, fluff and angst, it’s true i fear. ugh no my heart dropped so many times and i’m so STILL SO SAD. i thought chapter 7 was rough but boi this one got me😭

can i just say I FCKING HATE ALEX OH MY GOD. WHAT A PRICK. I LITERALLY HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE AMOUNT OF HATRED AND DISGUST I HAVE FOR HIM. I VOTE FOR ALEX FOR THE NEXT CHARACTER WHO SHOULD HAVE A BROKEN NOSE AND OC SHOULD GIVE IT TO HIM. UGHHHH. AND DONT GET ME STARTED ON OC’S MOM. I HAVE NEVER WANTED TO SMACK SOMEBODY SO FRICKING HARD OH MY GOD. @ OC’S DAD: DIVORCE HER. PLEASE.

on a real note, i really want to applaud you on your writing and just how talented you are!!! no like actually you’re beyond talented and let me tell you why! when things were going bad for oc and tae, my heart was hurting and dropping left and right and there were tears coming out that i wasn’t even aware of. the way that you write your stories literally makes the reader just so absorbed and it’s like we’re on this ride with the characters and are going through everything together. like not only that but when oc was in the garden and when jimin came to visit (I WILL GET TO MORE ON THIS BC IM IN LOVE WITH JIMIN) it felt like i was sitting in a meadow of flowers underneath the sun and everything literally felt brighter and lighter. that is how talented you are. i’ve read so many fanfics, literally fics from when i was a directioner and till now, this is the best one that i have read. seriously. thank you for letting us read this work of art!

no jimin in the high class series is so spot on to who he is irl!! reliable, patient, kind, mature, etc. he’s legit JIMIN IRL. like my heart was in shambles but when jimin came to visit, the pieces were starting to come back together. and thats another reason why you’re so talented sammy!! bc literally when everything was bad, it felt so dark and i was like “sht it really is only them. they have no one else.” and it really felt like i was in that dark and confined space with them. but when jimin came to visit, it was like a small light peeping through the darkness and i had that same realization with the tae and oc that they really aren’t alone and they have this amazing group of friends here to protect them, help them and be there for them. like jimin was the symbol of hope that everything will be okay again. UGH SAMMY!! YOU’RE SUCH A TALENTED WRITER. I WAS SO ABSORBED THE WHOLE TIME.

THERES JUST SO MUCH TO UNPACK. YOONGI IS HOME. JIMIN IS A SAINT. WE GOT AN OT7 REUNION. TAE BEING AN AMAZING HUSBAND AND JUST BEING THERE FOR OC DESPITE HOW DRAINED AND TIRED HE WAS, BUT STILL HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE BC OF HOW MUCH HE LOVES HIS WIFE. OC GOING THROUGH HELL AND BACK AND TRYING HER BEST TO HOLD ON EVERYDAY FOR TAE. their love for each other is impeccable and beautiful. no it rlly is!!

but no seriously this chapter was beyond amazing and you did such a great job!! i’m not only excited to see how this series ends but i’m also super excited to read jimin’s story with his oc! all of the members seem so close to who they are in real life and i’m beyond impressed and excited to read their stories!! also!! will all of ot7 be similar to themselves irl too?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AGAIN FOR LETTING US READ THIS MASTERPIECE AND YOU HAVE BLOWN MY MIND YET AGAIN!! NOW I’M GONNA TRY TO RECOVER AND REREAD THIS WHOLE SERIES AGAIN AFTER😭

-🪐

"it felt like i was sitting in a meadow of flowers underneath the sun and everything literally felt brighter and lighter. that is how talented you are."

SATURN ANON??? THIS LOVELY LOVELY MESSAGE?? I almost cried reading this because it's simply a dream for any author to hear. I'm so glad I could deliver a chapter worthy of all this praise, thank you so so much for investing all this time and even writing to me!! I'M SO HAPPY YOU LOVE JIMIN TOO TRUST ME, HIS STORY WITH HIS OC IN MY OPINION IS THE MOST INTERESTING ONE!! YES the members are relatively very similar to their irl personas.

Yoongi's the reserved yet intelligent one, namjoon's incredibly logical yet supportive, hoseok's full of fun but can be a real shoulder to lean on, Jimin's a fucking angel, but Seokjin and Jungkook's characters are quite exaggerated and probably differs the most from their irl personas. Seokjin is quirky in the high class series but not as much irl and Jungkook's very outgoing where as irl he's more shy!!

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MY LOVE YOU WORDS REALLY MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!! 💓💓

[aiogura]

Stormwind Sirens

One day had passed, one day since Dardillien had left that dreadful place in Ravenhill where he had been tortured.  It was a long, treacherous journey through the woods of Duskwood, going around the Ravenhill cemetery helped avoid the undead, but he still had to trek through the dark forest avoiding wolves, spiders, bears, and mindless worgen that could be roaming.  His sheer will to survive was the only thing keeping him going, his body was weak and beaten, his mind in shambles, and every step more draining than the last.  Every breath hurt his cracked ribs, but he knew he had to keep going.. to survive. 

His journey brought finally brought him to the border of Duskwood, the river separating it from Elwynn Forest, he stared at the river breathing heavily.  He knew he had to make the swim across, as difficult as it would be, but he needed to stop and rest for a moment first.  As the worgen sat, letting his body regain what little strength it could, he heard a rustling in a bush nearby only to have an imp jump out at him and hold up a stone.. it was his void familiar stone.

“Take.  Is yours?” The imp handed him the stone and disappeared just as quickly as it appeared.. Dardillien sat confused for a moment before finally realizing how the imp had his familiar stone.

“Alyssa..” Dardillien quickly placed the familiar stone in his bag before forcing himself up.  He felt a moment a relief knowing his sister was looking for him, she probably had been not soon after he disappeared, his only fear is how far she went to find him. The worgen slowly made his way into the river, he was fortunate that the river was rather docile this day, the current would not take him away, but the swim across was still going to prove a challenge, and it did.  

The trek across the river proved more challenging than Dardillien had thought, as he clawed his way out of the water he realized his energy had been greatly depleted and that he needed to take another break.  Just up the hill from the river was a tree where the worgen found himself resting against, he closed his eyes and winced in pain with every breath, he wanted this nightmare to be over.

 Minutes passed, or maybe it was hours, as the worgen laid against the tree with his eyes closed, his moment of rest interrupted by the sound of a growl and footprints along the ground.  Opening his eyes, Dardillien was staring at a bear that had found him resting against the tree, it continued to growl as he slowly slid up the tree trying not to make any sudden movements.  It was too late, however, the bear already believed he was a threat and began to charge at him.  Dardillien pushed off the tree to avoid the bear only to have it quickly turn around and with one swing of its paw slash his chest leaving a huge gash.  Dardillien stumbled backwards trying to keep his footing, his adrenaline had kicked in, but he was still in no condition to fight.

The bear charged again, this time knocking Dardillien to the ground.  As the bear jumped on top of him, trying to bite at his face, Dardillien used what little strength he had to jab his worgen claws into the bear’s neck to hold it back and prevent it from mauling him.  The bear roared in pain, and began jerking it’s head around while trying to bite Dardillien, every jerk and movement causing more pain in his body as the bear slammed him up and down on the ground.  Minutes went by, Dardillien growing weaker and weaker as the bear continued to fight and snap at him, slinging it’s paws at the worgen to get him to let go... It was a struggle of who would give in first and tire, the odds were against Dardillien, his body flexed and tensed as he held the bear at bay as much as he could.

This can’t be how it ends, I can’t die like this...he thought as the sound of a rifle reverberated through the forest and bullet flew through the body of the bear.  It let out a loud roar stumbling to the side and falling over, as it did Dardillien released his grip and fell back to the ground, breathing heavily, his body almost going limp as it relaxes from the struggle with the bear. 

He looked to the source of the shot only to see his sister running towards him, she quickly knelt beside him, “Damien.  Damien talk t'me, are y'alright?"

Relief flooded his mind seeing his sister, he wanted to hug her, but his body was too exhausted and weak, then he noticed someone behind her, it was Allie,  The Ren’dorei lowered her weapon and chambered a new round as she walked over as well. Allie gave a quick smile before quickly removing her bag and pulling out a square of linens to rip in half and help treat the gash in his chest from the bear, “What happened Damien? Where is Raen?”

"I... I had to leave Raen.. I think she is safe for the time being..." He spoke as Allie worked to bandage his wound, just then another person arrives and jumps off their horse, it was Eralyne. 

“Damien! Damien... oh no.. what did they do to you?” Eralyne ran over and knelt beside him before giving him a hug.  He winced in pain from the hug, but was happy to see her again.

“Where is she, Damien?” Allie asked after Eralyne released him and allowed Allie to continue tending his wound.

“She is in a church... somewhere in Duskwood... Ravenhill, I think.” He continued to breath heavily. Allie nodded and finished bandaging his wound, before deciding to head out to find Raen while the other two took care of him.

“We need t'get 'im somewhere safe.  T'the Cathedral if we can.  That bear did a number on 'im. I don't think those claw marks will kill 'im, but I'd rather see 'im treated.” Alyssa stated to Eralyne who agreed and wanted to get him to safety as soon as possible.  Alyssa took a few steps back and then threw her hands at an empty spot, channeling a wash of sickly fel energy when suddenly a demonic horse sprang into existence... Dardillien watched in shock at his sister, he knew she practiced with fel magic but had never seen her summon anything, he wanted to say something to her, but knew it was not the time.

Eralyne helped the worgen up from the ground, her exceptional strength even surprised him as he was twice her size, she assisted him onto the demonic steed before finally returning to her horse.  

"’old on to me Damien.  We'll get you t'elp as soon as we can."  Alyssa spurred the horse on, leading the way towards Stormwind.

After Alyssa and Eralyne had brought Dardillien safely in the city and his wounds were healed by a healer, the three of them returned to his townhouse in Old Town.  While his wounds were healed, his body was still incredibly sore and needed to recover, the healing power of the Light did wonders and Dardillien was finally able to return to his human form as he no longer feared the pain that would have occurred from transforming while wounded.  Eralyne stayed by his side the entire time and helped him to his room, even though he didn’t really need it he enjoyed her company, and eventually into his bed.  

“Thank you... I don’t think I would have made it if you guys hadn’t shown up.” Dardillien spoke softly as he adjusted in his bed to talk to his sister and Eralyne.

"O'course.  Y'my big brother, you'd 'ave made it, no way you wouldn't.  We just 'elped.” Alyssa chimed and smiled at her brother before turning to Eralyne and gently placing a hand on her shoulder,  "M'glad you were able t'be there too."

"I couldn't leave the love of my life to in that situation..." She looked to Alyssa.  Dardillien watched their exchange, he was happy to see they seemed to get along since they had only met once before.  Eralyne was a part of his life now, so he hoped her and Alyssa would become friends.

Alyssa lingered on finally asking the question that hadn’t been asked yet.  "'ow are you?  Where 'ave you been?  Y'know we've been runnin' ourselves ragged, Damien."

"Well I have been better, obviously..” Dardillien smirked before getting serious, “I really am sorry if I worried you. I was kidnapped and taken to Duskwood..." His voice trailed off, and Eralyne walked around to the side of the bed and took his hand.

"No one will ever take you away from me again.. I'm so sorry I wasn't there with you.." Eralyne squeezed his hand and frowned.

Alyssa shifted to sitting on the edge of the bed, a fond little smile on her lips as she watched the couple interact.  "M'so glad t'ave you back.  You 'ave no idea."  Alyssa's shoulders trembled a little, and she wiped the back of her sleeve across eyes. "Gods, m'goin' t'lose it right 'ere after 'oldin' it t'gether all week.  I'll let you two 'ave a moment, m'goin' t'go downstairs. Be 'ere if you need anythin' at all."

"Eralyne, please don't blame yourself... this was all on me." Dardillien looked to sister, "I'm glad to be back.  I would hate myself if I just disappeared on you again after you just got me back."

Alyssa looked to the both of them and gave a smile before departing his room and heading downstairs.  Dardillien watched his sister leave before looking to Eralyne and smiling, she returned him a smile before walking around to the other side of the bed and crawling into it.

“I miss you so much, Damien.” Eralyne said as she cuddled up to him.

“I missed you too, Eralyne.” She snuggled up closer to him.

After awhile, Dardillien held her in his arms, watching her as she drifted off to sleep, just content to be holding Eralyne in his arms again.  She hummed faintly as she slept peacefully, snuggling into a more comfortable position, keeping him close. Dardillien eventually closed his eyes, Eralyne’s cool touch helping to numb the soreness of his body, until finally sleep found him as well.

hey idk if ur still watching the squid game but dont watch episode 6. trust me. theres no coming back from that. your life will be in absolute shambles like after the episode ended i just had to pause the series and sit in bed staring at the wall in silence cus idek wtf else to do. (this might be lowkey spoilers so dont read this last part till after you watch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) why am i so dramatic but anyway if u do watch it imagine bkdk as ji yeong and sae byeok and if you REALLY want it to hurt imagine bakugo as sae byeok lmfao but its rlly not funny tho

so im never recovering from ep 06

my girl ji yeong kept forgetting that she and sae byeok are not leaving that place together, and kept slipping up by going “when we leave,,,” or “after this, let’s go to jeju island together.”

and i’m genuinely broken in tiny pieces :’>

like i know they didn’t interact that long BUT THATS WHY IT’S SADDER!!!!

they had a potential (either romantic or platonic)!!!!!

this as bkdk is terrifying because midoriya would.

midoriya would give up his chance so that bakugou could advance and live.

but instead of the scene where ji yeong basically goes “i have nothing to live for,” i feel like midoriya would say something like

“if you’re gone then i don’t have anything to live for, kacchan.”

bakugou crying, and going, “that’s so selfish of you, izuku.”

but midoriya already lost </3

and before he gets shot, midoriya says, “thank you for playing with me, kacchan! win for the two of us, okay?”

My “canon” recruits

VW: Shamir, Cyril, Felix, Sylvain, Linhardt, Dorothea, Petra, Hanneman, Flayn, Setheth

CF: Manuela, Hanneman, Sylvain, Felix, Mercedes, Marianne, Lysithea

AM: Ferdinand, Caspar, Bernadetta, Catherine, Gilbert, Lorenz

SS: idk all of them?

A quick comparison of the cavalier units Ferdinand, Sylvain, and Lorenz. All three are from some of the most powerful families in their countries if not the continent. They’re all kinda entitled bastards and they all start off still stuck in the mindset of nobility. You can really see this in part 1 Lorenz and Ferdinand where they’re obnoxious about their “noble obligations”. 

With Sylvain its more that he resents the crest-nobility systems but has resigned himself to suffer under it, he doesn’t think he can escape and thus takes out his frustration on women and himself. With the women he pursues, Sylvain sets himself up for failure. First is that he sets up for himself a reputation of unreliability partly as a rebellion against the expectations his family has set for him. His family expects him to be the perfect noble and thus Sylvain downplays his competency whether that be his intelligence or martial prowess. He pretends to be the vapid noble with nothing in his head. Next, Sylvain advertises himself first with his family name and crest and second with his body, thus attracting people who want him for these superficial characteristics. He then can accuse them of only wanting him for these things, shutting down any possibility of there being anything more and driving people away. The cheating also acts as a means to drive people away. He then can take that as evidence that people only want him for his family, crest, etc. Its a self fulfilling prophecy of self destruction and emotional self harm. Sylvain has essentially shut down his ability to form new relationships. (i need to write that sylvain essay)

By comparison Lorenz also disrespects women (by refusing to take a “no”) but why he does so is vastly different. Lorenz never fully questions and turns away from the nobility system the way Ferdinand and Sylvain can. His rebellion is against the selfishness of his father because Lorenz under all the noble bullshit is actually a decent guy. Count Gloucester cares only about House Gloucester, its reputation and prosperity. To the ends of House Gloucester he is willing to assassinate rivals and kill any merchant that brings that rival prosperity, and take any side such as the Empire’s to ensure Gloucester’s survival. Lorenz disagrees thinks those in power must consider everyone, not just their own benefit. Lorenz is the game’s strongest supporter of the Alliance as a governing system. He genuinely values a non-monarchy. Lorenz puts what he believes are his noble duties above his own preferences. For example praying because that its what a noble should do instead of because he’s religious or actually believes in the Goddess. This extends to his attempts at dating. At the start of the game, Lorenz’s perspective is that it is his duty to ensure the prosperity of his house and this include a strong crest bloodline and someone in the role of “wife” that will benefit House Gloucester. Stuck in this mindset he totally disregards the women he’s pursuing. He grows out of this with help from his supports.

Ferdiand has one of the stronger character arcs in the game (but nothing will top Marianne) where he starts off incredibly naive and ignorant about anything outside the life of a Fodlan noble, hits existential crisis will Edelgard’s war, and rebuilds himself from there. Throughout the entirety of the game he actively tries to broaden his horizons and improve himself. Ferdinand’s relentless optimism really is admirable. As in Petra’s support shows, he starts off assuming Fodlan weapons and armor are the best (its Fodlan exceptionalism) because the books he read only talked about Fodland weaponry and spoke from a Fodlan perspective. Ferdinand believes in destiny, in purpose as shown in his Marianne supports. He’s written this narrative for himself as the esteemed scion on Aegir destined for greatness, where he will surpass Edelgard as her rival, and reform Adrestia and the nobility. But discrepancies keep cropping up, he can’t beat Edelgard in combat, Edelgard start a revolution while at the Academy and ascends as emperor, his noble title and assets are taken and his family disgraced. Ferdinand turns his frustration and loss inwards and uses it as fuel to shape a new path for himself.

the chad ignatz vs. the virgin lorenz

A supports that shouldn’t exist:

Claude and Ingrid. this feels like a B support that just keeps dragging on

Linhardt and Annette. a lot of linhardt’s supports take a sudden romantic turn in the A support. am i the only one that finds it weird?

They should have another support:

Hilda and Annette ! support. They are SO cute together. imagine them doing each other’s makeup!

Sylvain and Dimtiri A support

Sylvain and Ignatz B support. i just want more Sylvain ok

Byleth and Jeralt. no dad support? heresy

Balthus and Manuela. they can be disasters together

Balthus and Holst. I just want  holst

Raphael and all the blue lions (Felix, Sylvain, Dedue, Ashe, Merdeces, Annette)

all the church people will all the other church people

So a lot of people see AM as Dimitri’s journey on recovering from trauma and while that’s not a terrible interpretation-- I think a narrative about living through trauma and the slow decades long healing would be excellent --azure moon botches the execution and I'd argue that's not the authorial intent here. (a rare case where I like fandom interpretation better than what is canon). but hold on i need to back up.  So Japan's had these cycles of xenophobia and... fanaticism??? with foreign culture and at several points absorbed a lot of chinese culture. One greatly influential work was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms which cemented in the japanese consciousness the narrative that... hmmm how to say it.... unification is how things should be... that unification is what makes a good ending. Some people pointed out parallels beforehand, but the an interview with the developers confirmed that 3H was heavily inspired by Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I don't exactly expect a nuanced and sensitive discussion of mental health from any jrpg i play (or any game really) and that mostly applies to 3H as well, sylvain's self destructive tendencies are glorified as loyalty in his byleth s support. Bernadetta's trauma is used to up her moe factor (to great success given how high up she is on the popularity polls), i tallied the number of abusive families each of the students some time ago and the sheer number of female students with tragic or abusive backgrounds makes me suspect it was done for drama.  Azure moon was never quite meant to be a story about the the real life effects of actual trauma, which is why its so wonderful that so many people could create their own interpretations of azure moon that reflected their experiences. What it was meant to be was a story of the rightful king reclaiming his throne to the backdrop of how the past can weigh you down and affect the present. Its related to the concept of mandate of heaven in that when the rightful ruler is absent (no dimitri), the country is in shambles, people are starving, war rages, everyone suffers, etc. but with the ascension of the rightful king everything flourishes, the people are happy, faerghus has a bright future etc. If you look at it rationally a lot of what the blue lions suffered under is systematic. Faerghus is basically a death cult glorifying dying in battle and sacrifice such that children are trained to fight as soon as they can walk (ingrid and felix byleth supports), children are used as soldiers (dimitri and felix), martial training rules their lives above all else (dimitri-annette supports), religious fervor fueling all this etc. But in Azure Moon, non of theses systems (nobility, crest, chivalry, church, etc.) are critiqued or dismantled and it leaves the cast of the blue lions hanging. If anything, under a new charismatic archbishop (byleth) some of them might strengthen, and the only empowerment of the people comes from the top down (dimitri allowing greater participation in government) rather than the people raising themselves up. On another note, despite many cutscenes in part one about dimitri finding out how sketchy Arundel and and Patricia are, nothing is done with that in part 2 and there is no resolution to the Agarthan problem. But back to what I was saying Dimtiri’s life is controlled by the death’s of his family and Glen, Felix puts it best in that Dimtiri strings tombstones around his neck. So the aftermath of Rodrigue’s death and Byleth’s pep talk act as the turning point for AM. Dimtiri stops rejecting the throne and is welcomed as king to a joyful crowd, he is instantly forgiven by everyone (despite wandering around as a murdering beast for the last 5 years, not doing anything to help faerhgus, and torturing people), because of course he is, via the mandate of heaven now the the proper king is on the throne everything goes right. And I hate that narrative. The game frames dimitri accepting his role as king as incredibly positive from the cheering crowd to the support of all the other characters. AM tries to tie a political position to an emotional narrative and i don’t like it. (I also just don’t like dimitri on a personal level, he’s meh, and combined with this is why AM is my least favorite route).

My favorite supports: Claude+Shamir B, Linhard+Lysithea A, Sylvain+Felix A+, Hubert+Hanneman B, all of Petra+Claude.

long long ago .  humanity was ruled over by god kings, the nabateas/children of the goddess/dragons who saw it as their divine right and duty to rule, protect, and watch over humanity. But some of the humans wanted self rule, they saw the nabateans as tyrants imposing their will over another species, and they wanted freedom. "Humans should be able to decide their own path" they cried. The progenitor goddess Sothis had fallen into a long slumber after her efforts and her children ruled in the belief that she would one day return to rule them and they they were simply holding the spot for her. It is unknown if sothis was actually dead at this point or in a regenerative coma. Nemesis was either hired as a mercenary/thief to steal Sothis's remains, or the location was purposefully leaked to him. After stealing the Goddesses' body, the humans crafted her body into the sword of the creator and her heart became its crest stone.  Nemesis then led the invasion of Nabatea and killed the nabateans using a weapon made of their goddess and progenitor's body. The bodies of the nabateans were made into more weapons and given to the 10 elites as weapons in the war against the remaining nabateans and their human allies. Nemesis was then raised as a figurehead of the war, a symbol of the Liberation of humanity from grasp of the dragons. Humanity saw him as their savior king and the 10 elites as heroes liberating them from the dragons. Seiros founded the Church, raised an opposing army and the War of Heroes begins. Seiros eventually defeated the human resistance army and its remnants fled underground becoming the Agarthans. Church became a governing body in Fodlan as the remaining Nabateans again awaited the day Sothis would return to rule them (and one failed attempt at resurrecting her). The Agarthans attempted to preserve what technology they had left and continued to develop Heroes Relic technology eventually creating artificial heroes relics such as Aymr.  It is unlikely that Nemesis was ever the brains behind the operation, just another cog in the machine. The Nemesis you fight in game is either a zombie preserved in a cryostasis pod for millennia or a clone. it is unclear.  The nabateans had seen themselves as as benevolent rulers, like parents fostering children. (you can see where this gets patronizing). So some of them like rhea saw humanity's rebellion as a betrayal

Edelgard is probably the best character in the game even if on a personal level, I don't like her too much. By which i mean she's the character that adds the most to the game from her character writing to her role in the story.  Edelgard is straightforward and stubborn. She has her opinion and not only will she not change it, she'll dig her heels in and double down on it.  She's committed... but that bites both ways. Allowing her to accomplish much, but keeping her from changing her course in the face of new information and circumstances. Inflexible.  yeah edelgard likes to be in control. its the if you want something done right you've got to do it yourself mentality. She believes herself to be the right person for the job and because of the stubbornness i mentioned earlier will not back down no matter what even if that means massive loses and her death. on non CF routes Edelgard provides an excellent counterpoint to byleth and the church, its really well done

both caspar and ferdinand would get into a bar fight. nnnnnn ferdinand tries to be a prim proper noble but he's a hotblooded shounen hero at heart. like how he chase linhardt all around the campus. i don't think ferdinand could see a fight and not think hey i should stop this and end up getting involved. like caspar he's got a strong sense of what's "right" or "what should be done" which is why he hits existential crisis in the war. Ferdinand (kinda like edelgard really) had written himself this narrative of his life, that he was edelgard's rival, that he would ascend to Prime minister and do it better than anyone before him, that he would correct the misdeeds of his father and bring glory to the aegir name, that HE not edelgard would be the one who brought Adrestia into a shinning new future. And edelgard (not out of spite or anything, it was nothing personal) brought that ll crashing down. And ferdinand doesn't know what to do with himself, what is up and what is down, what it just and right and what isn't.

i like how each route does its own thing. GD/VW is a mystery about what is really happening. BE/CF is a political thriller and has a kinda sinister tone. BL/AM is more character driven about the personal costs. a good example of this is the mutiny in the mists chapter. for gd, it introduces the mystery of heroes relics, in be it introduces the injustice of the church, bl: it sucks to be ashe. Silver Snow gives us Byleth's seach for identity set to the backdrop of the morality of the church. this is one thing i don't like about blue lions. white clouds sets up how arundel is very sketchy and the flame emperor is working with an evil third party, but then azure moon completely drops that. Compare this to golden deer part one introducing the mysteries of the relic weapons, the connections between relics, demonic beasts, crests, the children of the goddess, and church and in verdant wind that pays off as you go into depth about those things. meet up to 5 children of the goddess and the creators of the relic weapons. CF also continues what it started in white clouds by killing the head of the church. cf and ss are mirrors of each other so you need both to understand rhea and edelgard.

also interesting note remember how after jeralt dies each lord has a couple unique scenes? the advice each of them gives you is the same thing they repeated to themself to get through their trauma. Claude dealt with trauma by never letting his enemies know they had hurt them, don't give them that power over you mentality. Put on a smile and face the day, you must. Edelgard dealt with trauma by hardening herself and focusing all her energy into a goal, pick yourself up and be productive, moping around does nothing and helps no one, do something about it. Dimitri I remember the least well, one half of it was a just point me in the direction of your enemies and i will help you rip them to shreds, and i don't remember the other half. I do remember he tries to goad byleth into taking vengeance, which made me very uncomfortable the other thing i remember is that they all kinda had a point, but none of it might have been what byleth needed to hear. How they react to Jeralt’s death is another point of foiling for Claude and Edelgard, both try to do something productive, while Dimitri commiserates and grieves with you.

honestly i think raphael had some of the best advice for grief. i mean... if all you can bring yourself to do is the small stuff then take things one step at a time, take care of your body. exercise really does help your mental health. its like i keep yelling at people, raphael is probably the most emotionally mature of the students, he's grounded. If i had to choose someone to mentor dimitri, I'd choose raphael. which is why I am so disappointed in their support. Raphael is such a good boy, endlessly compassionate and wanting the best for everyone, the heart of a golden retriever.  and the devs are a bunch of cowards who won't let me s support him with male byleth. like so many characters are pretty means to him at various points and he doesn't take it personally, just takes it and tries to help them through whatever they're going through. a good boy

on a side note intsys disproportionately gives shitty tragic backstories to their female characters and it feels icky. i went and counted the number of terrible things female characters have been through compared to the male cast (i have that list... somewhere...)... and a way higher percent of female characters were tortured/kidnapped/forced into marriages/abused/etc. compared to the percent of male character with tragic backstories

jeritza ... .... certainly is a character. a shame that i like his character design but that I don't like him. he and hubert are in a single elimination tournament to determine who gets to walk away with the title of Edgiest FE3H Character. "death knight" or shinigami kishi   and wears black spikey armor and says shit like "this dance of damnation!". he's a decent unit, but a bit underwhelming compared to when he's an enemy. i suppose it would be game breaking if he had that dodge and crit as a player unit... and he's a not a bad unit... i found him to be quite good really... but it just cna't compare

an excellent character. One of the things I like about her as a character is that her character archetype is quite rare and its refreshing to see it done well. Right? so in jrpgs over the years a lot of tropes and archetypes have accumulated. And Edelgard adds so much to the story as the main antagonist for most routes, as a foil to byleth and rhea. a counterpoint to the church. Its real good. and then you get to join her for one route??? Love it. As a person, i can appreciate how raw she is as a person. As with all the lords her character development is excellent. When you meet her at the beginning its all serious business all the time. She takes everything seriously and she's trying very hard to be taken seriously. No chill what so ever in part 1. But by part 2 she's just tired. edelgard is very human. flawed. and whether her actions were "right" is up to a lot of debate, but she cares a lot (i personally think its was wrong to start a continent wide war). i think a lot of people in the West have forgotten how utterly horrific wars are. and yes she's pig headedly stubborn. the break not bend type

I really like bernadetta and caspars supports. Dorothea aggressively trying to befriend petra is great. and I did not expect ferdinand and hubert's supports to go like that but they're also really good. I think the ferdinand/hubert supports are another one that has multiple versions (b? a?) depending on when you get it in the game

I'm one of the few who likes the split route structure haha. it has its drawbacks yeah like how splitting up content means a good chunk of people will only play one route and judge the whole game based on that one route (and get angry on the internet about it  ). But i really liked being able to follow the different factions around (fe3h still need a rewrite, but i love the concept). the complex multifaceted ways the same event can affect different people. You need to play cf and one other route at least to get a basic understanding of whats going on in three houese

interesting thing is that the battle dialogue is also route locked. Like I went dialogue hunting last route in vw and got nothing. attacked dimtiri and sylvain with felix and ingrid and got nothing. Attacked edelgard with petra and ferdinand and got nothing on both maps annette and mercedes also got nothing. while i know in other routes all of them do get dialogue

What you get out of rhea in the last chapter of vw is likely accurate to the best of rhea's knowledge. Rhea knows she's dying here and likely dies soon after the game ends and nemesis is coming so she has little reason to lie. that doesn't mean what she says is true just that she has little reason to lie The church acts to maintain power and influence and shelter the nabateans who head the church by obscuring information on them. Contrast this with edelgard who got the truth of the church from her father but viewed it using the lens of the agarthans. The agarthans saw rhea and the nabateans as tyrants oppressing humanity and their views influenced edelgard. They aren’t wrong…. But there’s more to it than that (seteth’s supports)

so for some of the npcs, the ages from the datamine are more age of appearance or what age a stranger would think they'd be at first glance.this is why Sothis is listed as 9, jeralt as 45, seteth as 26, rhea as 28, and cornelia as 30 eventhough all these characters are older than that

Why Dont Ashe And Yuri Have A Support Chain. They Even Both Love Cooking And Set Up Inns In Some Of Their Endings!!!! AND LET HAPI AND CLAUDE GO STARGAZING TOGETHER
