my universe, in flames
vii.
It's the beginning of the end, really. One simple word leaves the world upside down, spinning, crashing. A blasted rock sent hurtling. Not that he sees it at the time.
"Breathe."
"And why would I do that?"
"Well, you're doing it, so…"
"Shall I stop then?"
Huff. It's always the huff. A breath. A sound. Only one. Filling a space, merging with the air, conforming with it until one can't be distinguished from the other. Once a curiosity, now nothing but expected, anticipated. He'd be fussed about that noise if it hadn't started to combine with his blood and swallow his veins like the sweetest of cyanides. Poison too rich to hate or despise.
"Padfoot."
He groans. It would be admonishing, that name on that tongue, except that tongue can never be admonishing, not to him. Curling, twining, dancing around names and words like rain on a window during a lazy afternoon, fire-warmed skin all around, soft to the touch. Harsh. Stabbing. Laughing. Choiring through rafters to rustle owl feathers and cause them to shake and shudder. It can be so many things, that tongue. Too many to him.
Sirius is actually quite fascinated by that tongue. Thinks he might like to taste it at some point. Forgets in some moments that he already has in the past, once on a dare, another time in mockery. Not entirely earthshattering but really…
You don't purposefully block things from your mind that aren't. Humans don't crave things that aren't masterful in some regard.

A frustrating thing about media perceptions of violence is that there are a ton of ways I want to write Cybertronians experiencing war and violence in terms of "what are the physical limits they can take" but it seems less extraordinary than it actually is because media already tends to portray even regular humans in combat with improbable or impossible abilities.
Like, how can I say something interesting about "oh Cybertronians have more stamina in battle because they don't bleed [in my headcanon] which means getting cut won't inevitably take them out of a fight in a few minutes" except when was the last time mainstream action media ever took bleeding into account. What about the fact that Cybertronians can break limbs or lose them completely and just get a replacement put on, but human characters losing limbs or getting prosthetics are rarely shown getting physical therapy or anything that would come with losing a limb. Even something as basic as "Cybertronians can be in direct combat for hours without tiring" falls flat when so many media portrays human combat as this crazy thing where people have the stamina to do flips and shit for minutes on end which isn't accurate at all.

…Thinking about an au where Tim gets leitnered into a cat and Elias ‘coincidentally’ walks in just as Jon is like petting him and shushing him because oh no! This poor cat is so obviously distressed! And like Tim would find this cute and tease him over it under any other circumstance but seeing as he’s the cat and would very much like to become a person again it is kinda annoying! And then Elias is like ‘is that a cat, Jon?’ And Jon gets all flustered is like ‘ah-uh-yes, someone must have let it in… I-‘ and Elias just cuts him off and insists on taking is outside and Jon wants to prove he can be responsible by doing it himself but Elias refuses and takes cat Tim and Tim doesn’t really like him and he doesn’t seem to know anything cause this is s1 so he’s scratching and biting but Elias just won’t let him go and…he’s not actually taking him outside?
And so Elias just brings him up his office and is like “well this is quite the predicament you’ve gotten yourself into mr stoker” and then they spend the rest of the day trying to figure out how to reverse it with Tim getting to be all cuddled up to Elias and being pet.

Monsterfucker mutuals and Hellraiser mutuals we need to absorb and discuss The Emperor situation in Baldur's Gate 3. I have mixed feelings so far from the spoilers I have, but then I do not have direct experience playing the game. May or may not play it for myself at some point, but I want the meta analysis on this one more than I want to play it tbh.

Happy the anime onlys getting introduced to Kenjaku just in time for October. He is a funky little brain villain with a wild personality piloting a body like an EVA.
Oh, me? Wanting to write something with a body snatchers theme for October? Well...

Before right now, I would look at Sebek and I'm like "haha, funny teen I like. He's so cool and dedicated. What a good guy I bet if he really tries he'd give great hugs"
And then I find out he's 188cm
The whiplash I feel
This man, I never imagined over 170 he's 16. Like I know he does rigorious training and he's half fae and he's a good lad and he's very insanely have superhuman(superfae?) strength(example being the harveston event where he chop chop wood)
BUT LIKE-
AHEM?? SIR?? LOML?? DUDE YOU'RE A WHOLE ENTIRE 33CM TALLER THAN ***ME***
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE SO MUCH TALLER THAN ME??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I COULD SEE YOU SOMETHING LIKE INTIMIDATING???? YOU, YOUR LOYALTY AND DEDICATION AND JUST HOW STRAIGHTFORWARD YOU ARE, INTIMIDATING??? NO, I NEVER COULD!!
Before his height reveal I just saw him as a teen who'd yap yap yap like a good guard dog, idk maybe a golden retriever.
AFTER I JUST KNOW I'M IN HIS SHADOW AND HE DOESN'T NEED TO TRY. I'M A SHORT KING PERSON BUT THEN SEBEK JUST CLEARS HIS THROAT AND IS LIKE "You are incorrect."
