#Meredith Brothers

[jaskiercommabard]

Just thinking about Geralt of Rivia and all the things he thought he couldn't be

Just thinking about "Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde"

Just thinking about Geralt learning and using an accent that didn't belong to him for the rest of his life so people would trust him

Just thinking about Geralt wanting to be a hero

Just thinking about Geralt becoming the Butcher of Blaviken

Just thinking about Geralt becoming the White Wolf

Just thinking about Geralt being the same man through all of that

Just thinking about Geralt being fundamentally and irrevocably changed by all of that

Just thinking about Geralt finding out that his name is the one Visenna gave him

Just thinking about Geralt being knighted by Queen Meve thus legitimizing the name he gave himself

Just thinking about how Geralt feels choiceless and yet creates himself

Just thinking about how Geralt feels fundamentally alone and yet is created by those around him

Just thinking about Geralt being so completely formed by a world he thinks he stands outside of

Just thinking!! About Geralt!!

One of my favorite things that happened during my last mage Hawke playthrough was during the final battle against Meredith. Everything's going well. We're kicking her ass, she's got just this much health left, we're so close... but then everyone gets stunned dizzy.

Hawke is stumbling around all confused, seeing stars. The rest of his companions are stunned. I'm annoyed because I just want to end this fight. Don't know how or who did it, probably Meredith, but the situation's dire.

Meredith's standing by herself at the center of the Gallows, shouting nonsense and smugly believing the Maker's going to come down and make her his new bride after she murdered a bunch of innocent people.

Truly, this is the part of the story where Varric says they all thought hope was lost, that in the end, Meredith would pull a fast one on us and claim victory...

Until the REAL hero of dragon age 2 comes storming at her. I don't know why Carver was the only one to not be affected, but he literally jumped out of no where and just started bashing Meredith with his sword while everyone else was too dizzy to do anything until she was dead and the cutscene played.

"Hawke defeated Meredith-" LIES, VARRIC. I know the truth! I was there! Hawke didn't do shit! Carver Hawke was the main character all along! He got shit done and Varric gave Hawke all the credit!

I bring this up because last night I finished my warrior Hawke run and when we got to the fight with Meredith, I kind of hoped the same thing would happen where Bethany dashed in all heroic and got the killing blow on Meredith.

She did not.

She got squished by a statue.

But it's fine, Bethany Hawke was the true main character in my heart.

Kai Smith and Cole Brookstone for the first 2 days!

Wow uh, was not expecting a tie again- this post took longer to make than it would have if it was just one character, but i made do! Now, i will be adding 1 extra Nimona character instead of a Ninjago one to raise the chances of having a Nimona character win.

This is so both fandoms are more equally likely to get their favourite characters drawn, lol

(I am very quickly realising that there are many, many more characters from Ninjago than there are from Nimona 💀)

Tim dropped a travel log for Trexel visiting Las Vegas. I had to have the intro and the audio for this here, but please do go visit Tim’s yt page (link will be in the replies) for the video, because it really makes it.

did you see that Ben Meredith retweeted the article?

Juuuuupppppp. And liked other tweets that make it undeniable that he read the article and didn’t just see the headline (and not the tag line).

Given Maddy was hugely involved in Stellar, and the GM and producer of the AP podcast Ben was supposed to star in (let’s be honest. There won’t be a second season of Chapter & Multiverse), I’d be surprised if he didn’t have thoughts.

I’ve only recently become active on Twitter (when Maddy’a tweet vent viral to be precise), so idk if it’s true, but my impression was that Ben has so far kept his thoughts to himself. So this is a fucking fascinating development.

Im looking forward to hearing Ben (and others) in Re: Dracula and Super Suits.

Ben will be fine. So I’m glad he’s being loud.

Day 23: JOMPBPC: Fav Character Archetype

I didn't know what to do for this prompt, so I decided to make the genderfluid pride flag out of books! 💕

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

[littleacebee]

Villain played by Meredith Brother is such an amazing character type and so beautifully executed

[msommers]

leave, education, kill, wish for riya, maeve and meredith!

muah i place kees on ur nose // oc asks: firsts

LEAVE: What was the first time your OC left home? Why? If they've never left home, do they want to? Where would they go?

RIYA — victor had been killed and she was ((sebastian voice) allegedly) framed for the crime and there were a few too many people eager to make an example of a mage/noble who wouldn't be let off easy this time, so her family broke her ass out of jail, handed her a bag of supplies and told her that she had to get the fuck out of the city until it was all resolved. she wouldn't have made it past city lines if she hadn't gone to beg bastian for help tbh.

MAEVE — when c- 🤢 when card- 🤢 when carden swept her off her feet, right into a carriage that would take her out of white orchard. she was excited about it at the time and later on in life would certainly prefer to never return to that place, but damn. if she doesn’t wish it had been under any other number of circumstances that helped her out of there.

MEREDITH — she has no memories of it because she was far too little, but almost certainly meredith’s first trip was to denerim when she was still a toddler because of some duty or other her father had to maintain. she was definitely one of those babies/kids that was great during travel and she got brought along to most everything because of it.

EDUCATION: What was your OC's first experience with school or education? Were they homeschooled? Apprenticed? Sent away to study? If they didn't have any kind of schooling, where did they learn about the world or pick up the skills they have now?

RIYA — answered xoxo

MAEVE — very basic lessons from her mother while she was still with her parents, learned the fundamentals of reading and writing because fanette couldn't stand the idea of her own child Not having those minimum levels but she also hated being the one to actually teach her. after her move to vizima, carden would have thrown all kinds of tutors her way so that she would be a Presentable and Proper Lady when he took her places. if there's one good thing that man ever did for her it was providing the resources to make her one of the most knowledgeable ladies around in his haste to up her intelligence score, i suppose. she also developed a very lovely handwriting style due to a particularly detail-oriented tutor. she absolutely could not stand the woman who taught her politics of the continent but no amount of complaining had her sent away smh

MEREDITH — she would have had multiple tutors and trainers i’m sure, being the daughter of the second most powerful family in the kingdom lmao. perhaps more lonely of an education than she would have liked as her brother was already in his studies and she wasn’t sent to learn with the other children in the castle, but she excelled nonetheless. i actually think she would have really liked the historian we saw in the cousland origin, old ass aldous who tutored the kids of the castle and surely taught meredith her histories aka one of her favorite subjects.

KILL: When was the first time your OC killed someone? How did they feel about it then, and do they still think about it now? If your OC has never killed before, would they? Under what circumstance?

RIYA — answered xoxo

MAEVE — we've stumbled across a rare maeve question i don't think has been considered, at least in default witcherverse. it would happen a few years into her time traveling with witchers, and likely while with one of them because that's when she's in the most danger (usually). she'd be fucked up about it no doubt. the panic to wash herself clean, the guilt over ending a life, the fear she could have torn apart a family somewhere, the stress of her own life being disrupted by a constant reliving of the entire event. you know, all that fun stuff she didn't sign up for. give it a few years and she'll probably still be sad about it, some amount of guilt will always linger because her heart is so gentle, but her own life experience and learning that of others will have helped her come to terms with it. (especially because it was likely in some sort of defense??? i don't see her just popping up on the kill feed for fun)

MEREDITH — when homegirl opened her bedroom door to find one of howe’s men standing there with a weapon drawn and she was forced into immediate combat. panic is all she felt then, and a rising anger the further she and her mother pushed into the castle during their search for bryce and an escape. she has never felt guilt for that first kill—or the dozen or so that came after it that night—because they displayed no guilt for the murders they took part in and showed no mercy in going after her next, but flash-forward some years and she feels a sorrow over it all having taken place. it wasn't fair to have such horrors forced upon a young girl who had done nothing wrong, merely had a father who perhaps needed to reevaluate his friendships more often 🤷‍♀️ sorry bryce that was uncalled for, you're already dead about it lmao

WISH: What's the first thing your OC ever wished for or wanted? Do they still want that, or have their desires changed? If so, what changed them? If not, how far would they go to fulfill their wish?

RIYA — i mean, for two decades i’m sure all her wishes were dumb as hell because she was a spoiled, sheltered girl. wishing her birthday celebration would be bigger than the last each year, wanting a new dress in the style of one she saw at a gala or smth, etc etc. her first genuine wish would have come during her time on the run, curled up next to bastian, wishing with a desperation that she'd never felt before that they could just go home.

MAEVE — any answer i think of is sad as hell. i imagine that the earliest thing she can remember wanting so terribly would be the approval of her parents because it always seemed Just out of reach. if she tried hard enough on the next task then she’d get the pride and affection she craved! surely that’s true!! it wasn’t tho, we know that. the only memory maeve has of her mother looking at her with pride was on that day carden took her away, which was a comfort for a few years while she still believed she’d finally done something good enough in their eyes. but then the “wait, she was just happy that i Sold To A Man for a fantastic price” reality hit and she’d do anything to forget that final day together.

MEREDITH — probably something cheesy like wanting to one day be like her father. the desire changed a bit over time, though not by much, spurned on by her witnessing too many moments of people being treated horribly because of how they were born. she wished to one day hold enough power and influence to make changes for good in the world, to care for others and make their lives better. historians and scholars are gonna debate for who knows how long about what schemes she enacted to take that power but like. it was right there. sitting out in the open. was she Not supposed to take it? c'mon now 🙄

JUNGLELAND (2019) Grade: C

Interesting concept that had some potential. The plot was a mix bag. The ending was a let down and a little cheesy. Jack O'Connell was good though.

i feel like a lot of the fandom really misunderstands the black brothers’ relationship with each other.

i have a sister and i hate her and she hates me. there’s not really a way to sugarcoat it. we hate each other. yeah, we love each other too, but that “but they love each other too” doesn’t soften it at all. it makes it all the more intense and brutal because it’s so hard to love someone and hate them at the same time. and the more you hate them the more you love them and the more you love them the more you hate them. there’s no “i love you so i’m going to try to fix this and protect and care for you even though i don’t like you” it’s “i love you so much why are you treating me this way? why do you hate me? fine. i guess i’ll hate you too” and you take your love and you twist it and you use all the things you know about the person because you’re so close with them against them and it’s a venomous cycle because they feel the exact same way about you.

that’s the black brothers’ relationship. not the cute little “we fight a lot but like we love each other so it’s basically okay!!” that the way a lot of black brothers’ interactions can be boiled down to (i know it’s usually more intense than that but it feels like it’s just an overdramatized version of that to me. and when the black brothers, whose worldviews directly contradict each other and have conflicting personalities and were raised in an abusive household are portrayed more healthily than me and my sister?? that’s how i know there’s something wrong with that characterization.)

(these tags are from @lesbianmckinnonn — disclaimer: i am not coming at you zandra ilysm i just disagree with this and want to discuss it)

the black brothers are not going to patch up each other’s wounds. they are going rip at each other’s skin and tear each other’s hearts out and then sit in their rooms alone sobbing, and it’s not just because “my brother hurt me” but also because “i hurt my brother”. and even though they are aching they will not apologize and they will not let the other know they care. because they each believe it’s too far gone.

that is the black brothers’ relationship.
