i actually felt pretty ok about most of the songs on this new t swift album bc i don’t really listen to her or artists like her for profound lyrics or whatever but it’s kinda funny seeing in real time swifties sorta convince themselves that they just didn’t realize how genius the album was the first listen through when they were disappointed by it and just “needed to digest it” bc it was “challenging and deep” like no loves it’s mid

There are two types of post on the webbed site and their "Martin is an uwu softbean 😊💕!" Or "Martin is evil and sexy manipulative 😈🦹‍♀️!" Have you considered that hes a grown man with dick and balls and 100 times more interesting then that

[godblooded]

honestly, after watching the bg3 rpc collapse totally because of shitloads of elitist entitlement (yes i am ever and always the person who doesn’t give a fuck, i’ll say what i want) it’s really been half a sociology study and i cannot believe how insane it was.

[bonefall]

hi!!!! thoughts on how you wish hawk/moth/tawny’s arcs went? always thought they were a billion times more interesting than their brother who is somehow still relevant and given all the screentime despite basically having his true arc wrapped up before he was ever given a pov

They were sacrificed on the altar of framing Brambleclaw's growth and ergo none of them got the satisfying conclusion they should have collectively had in TNP.

To talk about them, I first have to talk about what I think the Erins were doing with Brambleclaw

Brambleclaw

They decided that the arc that Brambleclaw went through in TNP did not actually end with closure. I don't necessarily think that's too bad of an idea; that watching his father get brutally murdered interrupted Bramblepaw's personal development, and made him possibly reconsider the idea that he was completely bad.

The choice in that moment, to reject Tigerstar or accept him, was taken from Bramblepaw when he saw him die. Now there's a new struggle, with BloodClan, and that FIRM rejection is off the table. In TNP, Brambleclaw is going to move on from Tigerstar in a way that TPB did not afford him.

That said... I think this was just a bad idea to begin with.

Because this is TAWNYPELT'S arc

SHE was the one who chose to side with him, who was seeing the real horrors of TigerClan, who saw her brother standing up for himself at that meeting, and watched Tigerstar die horribly. TAWNYPAW is the one who had to quickly move on and delay grappling with what she'd seen and supported; where Bramblepaw was in a clan WITH AN ENTIRE SUPPORT SYSTEM THAT AGREES TIGERSTAR IS BAD. His mom! Firestar! Longtail! Dustpelt!

Many people in ThunderClan were deceived by Tigerstar; but do not judge Brambleclaw for his parentage! God-- what about his cousins, even? The Snowfour are his FULL COUSINS on his mom's side!

TAWNYPELT is the one who should be struggling with fully rejecting his legacy, along with the ENTIRELY of ShadowClan, whose collective arc should be paralleling hers as they grapple with the fact they happily supported TWO dictators IN A ROW.

But I digress. I'll get to Tawny in a moment.

The bottom line is; in order to tell the story they wanted to tell with Brambleclaw, they did have to re-open his arc from TPB, and continue it in a new direction.

Tawnypelt

Was completely and utterly shafted by TNP. She barely does anything on the Sundrown Patrol, and only shows up to point things out about Brambleclaw. "Your actions affect the group, bro. Stop talking to our evil dad, bro. Hawkfrost is not trustworthy, bro"

If she's so wise, why aren't we following her as she confronts these things? It frustrates me that the writers keep her on hand as a tool to frame her mediocre manchild of a brother as he makes terrible choices, making her effortlessly competent while Bramble stays oblivious and ignorant to reality until his actions have violent, bloody consequences.

I can't stand how they just... keep a much wiser, more pro-active female character on-hand completely for the benefit of her brother's arc.

I wish they made her the leader of the Sun-Drown Patrol.

I wish she had more of a struggle with rejecting Tigerstar because she's so intelligent she's able to rationalize decisions she knows are bad.

I wish she actually had an arc in TNP instead of deciding Brambleclaw was going to TAKE hers because of author favoritism

Hawkfrost

I've written a lot about Hawkfrost, how I think TNP ends up implying that he inherited evil. The problem with Evil People being born occasionally and ruining a near-perfect society, their deaths allowing everything to Go Back To Normal

But I've also written a lot on how I think RiverClan should have had a better story about confronting how they welcomed TigerClan, how much I dislike A Shadow In RiverClan, and how Hawkfrost can fit into that... how he's such a good villain because he has EXCELLENT dialogue.

So I think my biggest issue with Hawkfrost is how he was executed. Hawkfrost should be failed by RiverClan, raised allowing to slip into the pawsteps of his father as a great man who did only a fewww terrible things, which shouldn't overshadow his good achievements.

Even, on some level... groomed by the cats around who see the similarities between him and his father, pushing him into the position to inherit this great legacy. To take up the torch where Tigerstar failed.

I wish that TNP had allowed for a greater tragedy in the ambitious young man resurrecting a deeply sick, evil ideology.

Becoming a symbol of it, even.

And in the end, being too far gone to save. Impaled by his own ambition.

Mothwing

Should have been the one to kill Hawkfrost, imo.

As TNP goes on, we see him becoming more and more demanding of her. He mistreats her even as early as the first book, calling her names, shoving her to the side. She's terrified of him. She's right to be.

I think when you're talking about fascism and fascists, you're missing the point if you ever downplay its hypocrisy. Hawkfrost and Mothwing come from the same situation, as outsiders raised by a non-clan mother. Hawkfrost has found a position where he could even play this to his advantage, "one of the good ones." But that same status for Mothwing is something Hawkfrost can exploit because she is gentle.

And he does. Getting her into the medcat den, wrapping her up in all of his schemes, holding the false sign over her head if she were ever to stand up against him.

She is a victim of him, and also of the dangerous sentiment he's raising in RiverClan. She fears him. She loves him. She hates him. She misses him-- the brother he once was.

I think it's a final trauma for her, to watch him impale himself on the stake she's holding. It should be self-defense, but more than that, Hawkfrost's own accident. Furious beyond reason, SO used to being able to bully her whenever, however he wants, he does not even notice that Mothwing can hurt him.

Blood spills blood, and the lake runs red. Mothwing doesn't like seeing the lake at sunset; it makes her taste something metallic.

Soooooooo TL;DR all four of them needed different arcs in TNP lmao.

is swap paps your favorite because he’s basically tall sans

hey now, who said he's my favorite? i mean, i did when i was talking about aus, but you can't hold me responsible for that. besides i listed more than just "tall sans". like gaster. and short regular sans. (kidding, kidding.)

anyway nah. it's because we're both rockin' the orange aesthetic. can't judge a guy with good taste.

(thanks for the mental image of like. tall lanky sans though. that'll haunt me lmao)

[starsandthorn]

yes yes arlecchino backstory sad lore interesting animation cool as hell but MOST IMPORTANTLY. signora and scara fatui coat LOOKS.

[bipolbur]

my day is already shit enough what do you mean the response video is finally coming out and keemstar is the one who announced it

[wizardnuke]

what's funnier for a meet-ugly fic. if it's a meet-ugly from the start ("we first met each other in a holding cell") or if it starts cute ("my grocery bag tore open on the street and they helped me pick everything up, also I got their number") and then gets ugly ("I didn't call them because I was busy and five days later we met again, in a holding cell")

[keendaanmaa]

So i kind of accidentally had a mini star strek movie marathon this evening while sewing

[crossbackpoke-check]

Okay so this is gonna sound very unhinged

But the screenshot you posted of the doc for Omega Yamo had text

And I may have zoomed in and been able to decipher the words

And I’m obsessed with there being more than one Alpha in that scenario

And I think you’re a genius and I love your writing even though I probably wasn’t supposed to be able to read it

Again I’m sorry for being so insane but I couldn’t help it 🙃

SCREAMINGGGG anon i am in love with you. i appreciate the level of unhinged sooo much, the only thing you have to be sorry for is inflating my ego to an enormous size

howmstever!!! i may have tricked you!!! there are actually two omega yamo fics in the works 🤐🤫 they just happen to exist in the same document right now because ??? why not

Chapter 3 - Prickly Pear

~2.5k words, includes fighting and injuries

I have finally finished the third 'chapter' of sorts for my Warden/Vega project. This chapter is essentially the in between of audios 4 and 5. The first half focuses on Warden's perspective, second half from Vega. Only posting the beginning here, the full is available on AO3

The first noises from above feels like dropping into a frozen lake, and they try to rationalize the source as anything other than their main fear that the Solitaires have finally struck the building. 

They give that up when the alarm starts.

Their magic shores up the ward almost by reflex. Briefings by the department had been clear — the Solitaires had a pattern of targeting the central warding and each cell would need its own Delta to reinforce to prevent them all collapsing at the same time. It was already standard procedure to supplement the ward, but now they would need to be ready to take on the whole of it.

They hear Vega laugh, say something about the ward, but they're too busy waiting for additional information over the radio clipped on their belt. Nothing else comes in, and they're left with the alarm and Vega's telepathic chuckle.

"So, will they be sending assistance, or do they trust you enough to leave you on your own?"

They try to ignore him, but they can't help but wonder. They and their coworkers are spread thin, and the protocol the department had decided on has them spreading coverage as widely as they can to keep as many wards manned as possible, but they hope someone shows up.

The alarm drones on. The sound of magic being used offensively coupled with heavy thuds and muted crashes continue overhead, but nothing happens.

The main support of the ward collapses.
