Slytherin Boys W/ Ballerina!Reader as Pas De Deux 🩰

SO I'm back at it again with more ballet stuff! Last time I did headcanons for Mattheo if he was dating a ballerina. This time however, we're going down the route of what Pas De Deux (pair dance) the boys would do with a ballerina reader if they danced together.

Lorenzo Berkshire

White Swan Pas De Deux (Swan Lake)

Choosing one for our boy Enzo was EXTREMELY difficult because I secretly headcanon him being a danseur already so picking just one dance for him was hard. I went with the famous white swan pas de deux from Swan Lake where he is the role of Prince Siegfried and the reader is Odette. It's a beautiful, and heartbreaking pas de deux where Odette and Siegfried get to know each other better with it ending in Odette putting her trust in Siegfried to make a vow of true love in order to free her from Von Rothbart's spell. (In this video the pas de deux is performed by famous dancers Svetlana Zakharova and Roberto Bolle. The part at 5:09 where he embraces her makes we weeeeeeep)

Theodore Nott

Giselle act 2 Pas De Deux (Giselle)

For Theo's I decided to play a little into the headcanon of him being a casanova and went the route of Giselle. Theo's character would be Albrect (sometimes known as Count Albrect, Duke Albrect, or in other versions Prince Albrect) the reader's character is Giselle, who died of a broken heart when she found out Albrect was bethrothed to another woman. Another beautiful and heartbreaking piece as Giselle is trying to protect Albrect until dawn from the wrath of the willis (spirits of young maidens that died before marriage) who wish to make him dance to his death. The queen of the willis Myrtha uses Giselle to lure Albrect away from the safety of her tombstone by making her dance a seductive pas de deux that lures him in like a siren singing a song. (In this video the pas de deux is danced once again by famous dancers Svetlana and Roberto. They're one of my favorite dance partner pairings!)

Draco Malfoy

Sugarplum and Cavalier (The Nutcracker)

My first fictional love, I had to give Draco one of my favorite pas de deux which is from The Nutcracker between the sugarplum fairy and her cavalier. I don't think I need to explain which roles these two are, it's a beautiful piece with beautiful music performed near the end of the story. (I've inserted my FAVORITE rendition of this dance performed by famous dancers Anna Tsygankova and Matthew Golding)

Mattheo Riddle

Black Swan Pas De Deux (Swan Lake)

When it comes to my headcanons I said that Mattheo liked Don Quixote and Giselle, but this man also in my headcanon has an absolute WEAKNESS for Swan Lake. So when he gets to be the part of Siegfried and the reader is playing Odile? He's absolutely giddy because this pas de deux is alluring and seductive as Odile is playing poor Siegfried like a fiddle making him believe she's actually Odette. (For this video the pas de deux is danced by one of my favorite dancers Gillian Murphy with Angel Corella)

Tom Riddle

Opening Scene (Swan Lake)

I could've easily went full delulu and gave Tommy a pas de deux, but come onnnnn. I'm giving this man the role he was MADE FOR. The opening scene from ABT's Swan Lake. He's the role of the sorcerer Von Rothbart while the reader is Odette. So enchanted by the beautiful princess he runs into in the woods he tries to charm her only to find her displeased and so what does he do? Takes her for his own and changes her into the form of a swan to keep her close to him. (For this video it's from ABT's Swan Lake they recorded back in the early 2000's with Gillian Murphy as Odette, Marcelo Gomes as the handsome human Von Rothbart and Isaac Stappas as Von Rothbart's other form)

Blaise Zabini

Nikiya and Solor act 1 (La Bayadere)

I'm not too familiar with Blaise, so forgive me everyone but I didn't want to leave him out. I chose my favorite pas de deux from La Bayadere where Blaise would be Solor a warrior and the reader is Nikiya a beautiful temple dancer. The two are secret lovers that are reunited and dance together before swearing their love under the sacred flame. (For this one I went with yet again Svetlana and Roberto because they ATEEEEEE this pas de deux up with their chemistry alone!)

NOLPATS BURNER ACCOUNT

SO HERE IS THE TEA AND BREAKDOWN ON NOLANS ALLEGED TWITTER BURNER (I also want to apologise for the initial hostile reply to the anon that sent it in I was just taken back cause there weren't upfront receipts).

If you’re wondering how this alleged account was figured out, an anon said someone tweeted about it and decided to look into it... and then now we are here...

SO HERE WE GO!

His FIRST account that went under @ gollpatter the account got suspended (He tweets about it on his second account, but you’re still able to see everything).

So now the account he is using the new one is @ shottergallas.

(So just remember there are two accounts. I know some can get confused lol).

WARNING: I know people are going to be running up the accounts anyways but will say just a heads up you will be finding shit that you don’t like mentioning SA and misogynistic comments, some of the comments are towards the incident of WJC 2018. (If I’m right it’s brought up on @ gollpatter)

Now we may all be here like okay… how do we know or assume it's actually him??? Here is my personal observation

If you look at the following on the first account @ GOLLPATTER. You can see that there are about 4+ people on there that he follows that are obviously his friends and has Steinbach Manitoba in the bio. Some of the content and influencers he follows or interacts with on there also align with his recent or past followings/likes/engagements on Instagram from celebs, influencers, sport hosts and even onlyfangirls (I’ll even get specific if I have to) . His interests are evidently displayed throughout his account... things like MMA, golf, hockey, Joe Rogan, Theo Von and other typical guy shit, but as I said if you followed up on him or paid attention to his Instagram activity it adds up. 

(Screenshot of his followings the only thing is they don't follow back)

An Anon that initially sent me the sub on why she thought or had her own conclusions to why she thought it was him which I’ll be copying and pasting the sub down below and adding the links to the info she provided! To make everyone’s lives easier.

here’s the account introducing himself as goll patt: (X)

here’s the account calling jets/ava pond hockey last night: (X)

here’s that account excited about nolan’s friends ‘coggie’ return to the ‘national’ 6 days ago: (X)

and the related headline where Dylan Coghlan, Nolan’s former teammate returned to the NHL from the AHL:  (X)

here’s that account being called pat by its friends in the reply of previous tweet: (X)

account being call pats/patty by friends:  (X)

same account agreeing with hate on the vegas golden knights as a franchise, praising nic hauge and his wife:  (X)

The hockey talk on the account that pop up usually I noticed has pertained to Vegas and the Flyers (some slight shady tweets mostly but nothing over the top) Maybe just some coincidence but I mean hey… we all know what teams he’s played for. Plus there are some Travis Konency mentions on there as well…

So “his” account interacts with the same 2-4 twitter accounts and these accounts tend to tag him in post about Nolpats which I found a bit ironic…

So the last to this which I thought was another eyebrow raiser, was another burner account that has some mutuals but isn't entirely active. Also tagged his account in a post regarding a Tik Tok. The context of the Tiktok was how most likely pro athletes do see the things you post online about them.

So would like to end this off with reminding you that this ALLEGED and there’s no real confirmation it’s him. You’re able to form your own opinion and perspective if you decide to look through and analyse the accounts yourself. I could go on more on some other details, but decided to just touch up on the things that stood out to me. I also was limited to adding content like photos and videos.

[dailydegurechaff]

Sometimes half way through making something I find myself self-conscious about it like "Oh, this is so far diverged from canon. People are gonna hate this. It's cringe, don't post it." And then I remember this is my blog that I can do whatever with and I don't have to be a people-pleaser.

Anyway, Very Very Post-War Degurechaff family tree:

Warning for yapping under the read more.

I think perhaps its more accurate to call this AU instead of headcanon, purely because of how much I'm diverging from a realistic sequence of events. Honestly, it's not meant to be canon compliant, it's meant to be me playing with the characters like dolls lol

So, to start. Ursula is a canon character introduced in the manga chapter 50 and we do see an image of her, but I don't care for it so... fan design it is. Her name is revealed later in manga chapter 81.5 (The second part of the story about Grantz's letters to home). That chapter also introduces Doris and her unnamed mother & father (Ursula's daughter & her son-in-law).

Interestingly, it's mentioned that Doris' father married into the family which means that in order for Doris to have the last name Grantz, both her father and grandfather would've had to have taken their wives' last names. Based of them really.

Grantz also takes his wife's last name because I want him to. Something about it makes sense to me. He's a wifeguy.

I considered passing the Lergen name down too. So it'd be Tanya von Lergen, her husband Warren von Lergen, and their son Theodore von Lergen, but somehow it didn't seem right. So they keep Degurechaff. That doesn't change that Tanya is technically a member of the Lergen family still.

Speaking of the Lergen family, if I allowed myself the indulgence, I would've gone into the extended Lergen family tree but I held off this time. I might update this one day to include them, but for now the main thing to know is Lergen has a married older brother and a niece (younger than Tanya). Also his two parents of course.

I want to also update this with names and designs for Grantz's parents someday too. For now we'll live with the only fan character on this tree being Theodore.

I don't have much to say on Theo because I'm undecided on what I want to do with him (Or even if I want him to exist...). What I will say is that he's definitely at least a year or two younger than Leonie. Yes, their names were specifically chosen to match each other.

He too can make scary faces and say disconcerting things like Tanya, but he gets away with it because he's cute. Yes, Lergen is completely blind to these same traits that he found worrying in Tanya.

Girl Genius Reaction #2

Hi, hey, been a hot second since I've done one of these but here we go!

I love that the Heterodyne boys have been elevated to this almost folklore-like state where everyone's got a story about them that ranges from "mostly true" to "entirely made up"

Also, Gil's Dad was adventure buddies with the Heterodynes???? I know Theo said he made the story up, but considering it was shown to us like a flashback, I assume there is at least a few kernels of truth to it all

I think I clocked the possible Von Pinn connection. As all the students claim Von Pinn is modeled off of and/or secretly Lucrezia Mongfish (whoever the hell that is), and Lucrezia was name-dropped in Theo's story/flashback and on the receiving end of one of the Heterodyne's love confessions, I'm assuming Von Pinn is thus modeled off of and/or secretly Agatha's mother or aunt. I wonder if that'll ever come up later. Either way, it's nice to know I'm not crazy for thinking Von Pinn and Agatha looked way too similar

Also, I know Agatha probably took the chance to change out of the pants and into a more comfortable skirt while Theo had everyone distracted, but I kind of like the idea that she can just randomly and inexpensively modify her clothes at will with no one noticing

The Baron being concerned about the hive engine being "eighteen years old or brand new?" really caught my attention. Larger scope villain entering the chat? 👀

Theo & co. running into Gil and there's an obvious disconnect about whom hasn't kept in touch with whom, re: Gil saying they'd only ever come to him if they need something vs. Theo saying Gil hasn't answered any of their letters. Betting money that the Baron has been withholding Gil's mail and trying to isolate him for whatever reason.

Whomst is Othar Tryggvassen? Hello? Random man just suspended over the void, every limb chained, giant green globe on his head? WTF???

I do love Agatha's reaction though. "Is it right to leave a fellow sentient strung up like this?" "Well, that depends upon the nature of the experiment..." I love this mad scientist so much

I'm also really loving the Jaegers (Jaegerkin? Jaegermonsters?). They're all so full of personality. And the tension with the Lackya is very delicious

Love the Jaegerkin generals inviting Agatha to supper, saying "It's good, no bugs!" only for another general to say in the most dejected voice "...no bugs?" 🥺

Also, it looks like the Jaegers are officially figuring out that Agatha's a Heterodyne! Gil may believe/know Agatha is a Spark (has the Spark?), but the Jaegers are the only ones connecting the dots to the Heterodyne question. Wonder if they'll tell someone or keep it to themselves.

Also, Jaegers playing matchmaker? "What do you think of the young master?" "What kind of question is that?" "Well it would make things really simple if--" What's their angle there? Hm....

Speaking of ships, I am sending Andre the Jaegermonster to horny jail. I'm with Agatha; Von Pinn doesn't sound interested

Flashback with Uncle Barry was very cute. He obviously didn't want to repress Agatha's powers, but it was probably a matter of safety

Agatha sleep-inventing is very cool, but why's her little sentient robot(s) hiding from her?

Von Zinzer is giving some insight on the larger world. Apparently, there's a series of wars going on? I know the Baron is a ruler and is keeping the school kids as hostages, but I didn't know it's a continuous conquest of what seems to be Europe.

Also, side note, do we ever see the rest of the world? Africa, Asia, Australia, North & South America? I know deep in my bones that this world's version of China would fuck severely.

Dr. Dim and his bears are also very cute. Loved the moment between him and Agatha

The fight between Von Zinzer & Agatha was very fun. As was Gil hiring Agatha on the spot. The friendship is growing!

And finally, the talking cat! My oh my, how will this go from here? It's very obviously sentient, and based on the website's banner, a main character to boot. But what is it? A chimera? A rogue experiment? Someone trapped in a cat's body? Guess I'll find out

Overall: Still really liking the story! It's got me hooked so far and it's building really well on the premise. The story is still obviously finding its footing, but it's still good!

Continued 7.5/10

[stepmarchen]

I also have one question in my mind like what happened in the 1st tl war? Like I generally don't know who was against each other in the war , safavid vs kaiserreich or church vs kaiserreich? And if we read halima's research back in ch 36 and did safavid won the war over the empire? Did Jeremy and the others died? I would like to know your take on this , since I am newbie in the fandom, I am dumbfounded

Sure! I know it's a little confusing to pick up on which war the characters are talking about at each given moment, but we can break it up into 3 different parts.

1. The Imperial War that took place before the timeline split

2. The Holy War that started after Shuri's death in the 1st timeline

3. aka the tensions that may be leading up to the 2nd timeline version of the Holy War.

I'll go into further detail below! Spoiler Alert!

The Imperial War (~1090s): A war within Europe

The Imperial War was one of the greatest achievements of the Empire.

It took place before our main cast was born, and the Emperor Maximillian, Johannes, Albrecht, and Alicia all fought in it.

We don't know much about this war but iirc, it's heavily implied that the Imperial War was largely for means of expansion. We still get small hints of the effect of the Imperial War with Albrecht going on trips and touring these territories.

The manhwa doesn't specify who the Empire was fighting against, but we can assume it was probably the ASM equivalent of 19th century Prussia... or something of the like.

***Safavid was not involved in this war but the war Halima is referring to in Chapter 36 is the Imperial War. More on this later.

The Holy War ver. 1 (1119~??): The Kaiserreich Empire vs Safavid Kingdom

The Holy War started as a result of two things: the growing gap between nobles and the poor (as a result of corruption within the church) and the death of Shuri von Neuschwanstein by Safavid bandits (as organized by the Empire's Church). The Holy War was pretty much a huge coverup for the Church's wrongdoings. They shifted the attention to Safavid and called for divine command, which is why it's dubbed the "Holy" War.

This is the war that Jeremy enlists in alone. The epilogue chapters that describe this ends right when the War starts, so we don't know exactly what happened to Jeremy after he is sent to war.

The Holy War ver. 2 (has not happened):

The church's corruption is still running rampant in our current timeline, and Shuri's life is still in danger. Although Cardinal Meissner was arrested, the two main culprits for kickstarting the Holy War in the 1st timeline, Cardinal Richelieu and the Pope Eugenio, are still active.

***Both Halima and Ali are aware of the Church's corruption and how it reflects on the Empire. Safavid's power is growing and the difference in religions is enough cause for political pressure between the two regions. Halima is especially motivated to see Safavid surpass Kaissereich in terms of power, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they will wind up fighting in a war.

All the characters in ASM are constantly gearing up for the possibility of another war happening but we don't know how things will play out as of yet. The tipping point has yet to come but it seems like Church is planning to take a hit on the Theo instead of Safavid.

My Thoughts

Some text in the manhwa suggest the possibility of an entire dissolution of the Church, but I don't think it'll happen. In our current timeline, the Church and the Royal Family are carefully and deeply intertwined, constantly keeping each other's power in check and I can't see the Empire leaving all of its power to the Royals. Theo is way too crazy to be in complete power if you know what i mean

the last chapter of Season 2 revealed that the Church was planning to take Shuri and Jeremy to trial, which I'm assuming, is to bring attention and strike rage into the reputation of one of the most powerful noble families in the Empire.

Where Safavid will play a role? I don't know yet. We'll just have to keep waiting to see, I suppose.

[gggreengoblin]

702 words, inspired by this, After a brief and weird interaction with a ceritain American comedian, Daniel came to his best friend's room to vent.

Daniel had experienced a lot of weird days in his life, nothing new. But his interaction with an American comedian today was an out-of-body experience. Man, that person was a strange creature. Daniel knew he would say some of the most unhinged, out-of-the-box, bizarre things but nothing had prepared him for one-on-one interaction with that man.

He couldn't stop thinking about it. How it went down quickly. He kept replaying that interaction in his head. During his shower, while he was eating his dinner, when he walked to Max's room.

When Max opened his door, he was just wearing his jeans, unbuttoned and unzipped. His hair was still wet from his quick shower.

He entered the room and lied down on Max's unmade bed. "Isn't it weird that people still think we are dating?"

"Are they still doing that?" Max said while applying his deodorant. "I thought that rumor died years ago."

"Apparently they still do that, Maxy." Daniel couldn't help himself to not take a deep breath when Max sprayed his perfume on his skin slightly damp skin. He loved this smell, clean, aquatic, and refreshing. He wanted to buy this perfume, bottles of them, and hide them in his secret drawer under his bed. It is weird if you want to sniff your best friend's perfume all the time, right?

"Listen, you know today, before the race, Theo Von visited your garage, right?"

"Yeah."

"I met him, for PR stuff. I told him that we went to his show and he said wild things about it. I told him we made an agreement to watch his show together."

"Right." Max nodded. Making sure Daniel knew that he was still listening even when he did something else. He needed to get ready for their post-race party after all.

"And in February, I was in LA and you had a weekend off. You went from Monaco to LA, picked me up, and we flew to New Jersey to watch his show."

"What did he say exactly?" Max chose to wear an ocean blue crewneck sweatshirt. It fitted him perfectly.

"At first he was like, 'Bro, you made your boyfriend fly from Europe to America just to have a comedy night date at my show? Damn! You need to up your game, My dude.'"

"And I said, 'No, we are not dating. We are best friends.'"

"He looked me dead in the eyes and said that it was a 'unique' agreement and men don't fly with their best friend to watch a comedy show together."

"And when I tried to clear things up, like- gave him more context, he said, 'Woah! Daddy! This sounds like homoerotic, Brother, to be honest with you. I am not judging you. It's super obvious you are a gay man, if you are not, then you're surprising a lot of people', you know, because apparently a lot of people think we are a gay couple."

"Fuck that, Daniel. He doesn't know us enough to have an opinion on our friendship." He combed his brown hair into his usual side part classic quiff. "And nothing wrong with me taking you on a date."

"Was it a date, Max?"

"Well- Would you take a long plane ride from LA to Europe just to take, maybe- Lando for example, to a comedy show?"

Daniel tried to imagine that scenario. "Nah, I don't think I would do that. But I will do it for you, though."

"It can be a date if you want it to be. Girls take their best friends out on a date all the time. Why can't guys do the same thing?"

Well, that was kind of true. Why he and Max couldn't do that? They loved each other's company, and no one got hurt because of it, so where was the problem?

"And, of course, we go out for dinners, at least once a week if we are in the same city," Max said.

"Wait, does it mean we are dating if we go on dates and dinners all the time?"

He lied down, on his side, next to Daniel. Putting his newly styled hair on a pillow. "If you want us to be, then yes."

BRACKET REVEAL

Alright. At long last, I present to you the bracket...or should I say...*BRACKETS* for the Virtual Character Tournament!

Given the scale, the first round is going to be one bracket per week, 4 a day, with each lasting 24 hours. I know that this is still tight, but given how many contestants there are, along with the necessary inclusions of images and propaganda (oh and I guess also my job), it's what I can do to keep this semi-manageable. There's also no redemption round this time. It's gonna be a single elimination tournament. Be kind to your peers. This is not but a drop in the infinite ocean of the internet.

...oh yeah the brackets themselves. We'll be going in order over the course of 4 weeks. I'll make proper announcements for them as they commence. Given how many there are and what I want to get done beforehand, Bracket 1 will likely begin some time this week. But for the matchups...

Loki Episode 3 Reactions (Less Coherent Edition)

Lots of caps lock today. Spoilers for Loki.

If we don't go to the World's Fair today I'm gonna riot.

If said World's Fair is not in Chicago I'm gonna riot

Oh FUCK YES just saw the screenshot

CAN I JUST SAY EVEN THOUGH I THINK I'VE SAID IT BEFORE LOKI IS BASICALLY IN HIS CLOTHES FROM THE COVER OF WML

OH MY GOD I SAW THE TITLE YESSSSS CHICAGO

The fucking music oh my god

NO WHAT THE FUCK WHY ARE THOSE BUILDINGS MADE OF WOOD TWELVE YEARS AFTER THE CHICAGO FIRE ARE YOU CRAZY AND WRONG

oh okay I will casually throw aside the large rock. It's 1868. Maybe ya'll did do your research. I SAW THE TRAILER THOUGH SO I'M NOT SO SURE

DON'T DO IT IT'S FOUR YEARS EARLY DO NOT TIP OVER A LANTERN BITCH

OB that was not simple enough for me

Are we in 1868 or 1893, then, boys, I have to know for the historical accuracy of these building materials.

THANK YOU, MOBIUS! [He mentioned the Fire and I felt vindicated.]

Yes, how could you have forgotten?? MOBIUS I LOVE THAT YOU LOVE THE WORLD'S FAIR

CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD THOUGH

I MEAN FLAMES BUT IT WAS EITHER NOT REBUILT OR LEVELED AGAIN FOR MIDWAY [side-eyes the parallels of the history of Central Park in NYC to Hell and back] [I don't know for a fact if that is accurate but I wouldn't be in the least surprised if it was.]

okay the vintage transition made me unnecessarily excited

MOBIUS do not rationalize your snack addition [you don't need to, you're perfect]

Also Cracker Jack is nasty

Thanks Loki

YOU FLIRTS

The commentary on the global exhibits is the shit

"Thor's not that tall." SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU STARED AT HIM FOR FAR LONGER THAN NECESSARY AND SAID THAT TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT YOU MISS HIM YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYBODY

fuck yes post credit scene

I'm just saying it's not that far outside the realm of possibility for Theo to be here [I was going to continue to explain this but then got distracted by:]

THE VINTAGE TRANSITIONS

Loki is fucking panicking

SYLVIE MY GIRL

Wait goddamn please let's not do this shit again

Mobius just take her bag. You're a clever boy, I'm sure you can think of something.

OH MY GOD SHE THREW HIM

NO LOKI DO IT

Eew

This guy grew up in Chicago. Why is he talking like that?

"The wizard gentleman" I'm dying

Okay but this is not a Wisconsin accent either.

"Lower taxes" MOOD

HOW ARE YOU TWO SO BAD AT THIS

yeah Miss Minutes you keep trying to take credit for this, you wanna be the one that fucks him? Because that's the direction this shit is moving [Apollo please I'm begging you to pass me over. Ugh.]

Squall squall squall

Oh shit I didn't see THAT coming though damn [I was trying for a shipwreck but then they just sent Renslayer adrift in Lake Michigan.]

The writers: Okay so everyone betrays their lover in the end; Me: Okay one, are y'all okay? And two, y'all read Oscar Wilde's "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" and took it as gospel, huh? ["Yet each man kills the thing he loves/By each let this be heard,/Some do it with a bitter look,/Some with a flattering word,/The coward does it with a kiss,/The brave man with a sword!"]

MISS MINUTES ABSOLUTELY GO FUCK YOURSELF

eew what the fuck is happening

OH MY GOD THE WRITERS LOVE TO MAKE WEIRD ASS COUPLES

EEEEEEWWWWWW WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING BUT GODDAMN I FUCKING SHOULD HAVE

Rav I'd say kill Minutes but we need her

VON?? VON??

ARE WE DOING THIS AGAIN WITH RAVONNA AND MOBIUS THIS TIME

DO WE NEED THESE PARALLELS

OH FUCK YOU RAV

SYLVIE STOP

HAIR FLIP

SYLVIE

YEAH SYL KILL THE BITCH

AND FIGURE OUT YOUR NEXUS FIRST

SYLVIE YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN YOUR NEXUS FIRST BUT DAMN GIRL HOLY SHIT

EEWW MISS MINUTES COME ON

Wait I just thought of something and I HATE IT SO MUCH (sorry to not tell you but I'm gonna think on this for a few days and then post a theory)

[roachsource]

this past weekend w/ theo von ft. guest mike rowe. random quotes from the podcast ep. with the slightest bit of tweaking for writing purposes.🪳

"did you do chores growing up?"

"you want to keep it as authentic as possible."

"it's normal to want to know how you're doing."

"it's not like a crystal ball thing, is it?"

"whether it's a leaf blower, or the penis on a bull, sometimes you just gotta play the cards you get."

"that's the kind of stuff we've gotta stop."

"there's nothing free in this life."

"is this part of SAW? is this SAW season two?"

"well what i like to do, is, i'd light a candle first, a little aromatherapy. and of course, you know, a tasteful floral bouquet. something to set the mood ..."

"you're like some kind of damn spunk minion."

"was there a wiener you didn't get to see?"

"oh, god. wait until they see what my penis looks like."

"everywhere you go, you'll find a new dead thing by the side of road."

"if you're going to die, at least die out by the road so people can see you."

"just because you CAN do a thing, doesn't mean that you should."

"you're going to die out here."

"i don't want you driving for two hundred hours!"

"i can drive forever!"

"sandblasters make you feel like the terminator."

"we'll be back in a couple of hours. get what you can get!"

"when you're bitten by a shark, that's ... that's so horrifying."

"that was the first time i really saw my life flash before my eyes."

"anything that can eat you alive will get you thinking in a different way."

"i can still hear the sound of my sphincter slamming shut."

"that, of course, is stupid. that's very foolish."

"if i die, i'll just wake up back off camera."

"i did some weird shit, man."

"i didn't help society or learn anything."

"this was jackass meets fear factor."

"they paid me minimum wage to do this."

"what happened to my face? well. i'll tell you what happened ..."

"i can't help you. i don't want to help you."

"that's one of the greatest metaphors of all time. reaching through an electric fence to gently cup the breast of a young love ... so you're surrounded by consequences, you've got danger everywhere, you're being allowed to a thing ... but there's risk all around you."

"that's why we power wash!"

"in the end, i think we're trying to do the same thing."

[niccage]

Idk what’s funnier. People who don’t know that joe rogan was the host of fear factor or people who don’t know that theo von used to be an extremely successful competition reality tv contestant in the early 2000s and also lowkey a lil fine

Why People with Trauma Struggle in Relationships

That whole line about being fine until something triggers you and then fucking things up beyond repair hit hard. When it's too late it's too late, and you will hate yourself once you come to that realisation.

ago

@ahem8013 I've never heard the phrase, but I love it. Something similar I say is "the truth will set you free, but it's going to piss you off first."

People who believe that their life is perfect and can't fail are always in for a worse reaction than a person who is realistic. I know exactly how close I am to failure, because it would take one bad accident, some legal trouble, or even a random freak accident with no explanation and I could be homeless by the end of the year.

A LOT of people don't understand that.

@zackwebb8697 ... Oh god that was probably not a good idea. You didn't have proper training to raise children to begin with. Most likely you're just going to transfer your pain down on them and keep the cycle of abuse going no matter what you do.

@BenLWolf Thats the duty of any parent, to deal with their own baggage and stop the generational trauma from being passed down. I'm not perfect but I feel like I've done my work. I will say, epigenetics are a scary idea to me

Alrighty. 4,5 and 11 for the RT lore ;)

WOOOOOO thank you so much for the ask LET'S GO

4. How did your RT feel about Theodora? How did they feel when she died?

Oh, boiiiii! Theodora's ghost haunted the von Valancius' flagship for months, and Idira had nothing to do with it.

Isabella didn't have time to develop any feelings for Aunty Theo when she was still alive but after her death? She became sort of obsessed with her predecessor, tried to know as much as possible about her… and used it to look more like her.

No, Iza didn't model herself and her decision after Theodora, but she worked hard on keeping a certain resemblance between the two of them for people to have less doubts that Isabella has rights to her high position.

Even the signature Isabella's feature, her wig collection, is coming from this place: she wanted to resemble Theodora even visually, so ✨ big hair ✨, high boots, dress jackets and some of Aunty's mannerisms were with Isabella for a long time before the 3rd chapter finally happened.

But this all Theodora lore hunting made Isabella deeply respect her predecessor and regret she didn't have more time with the aunty, even tho Iza suspected that Theodora would find her too soft xD

5. What was their relationship with Edelthrad? Would your RT have been happy with an advisory role, or had they always wanted something more?

Look, I replayed the prologue about 10 times recently and Edel was nothing but a piece of shit to my girlie, who did nothing wrong (yet).

In the beginning, she would be drawn to Edel because he, like her, is a psyker, and as close as Isabella's previous crew became to her, there was always one thing standing between them: they were not psykers. They were her people, but they didn't truly understand if you know what I mean.

And she longed so much for the company of other psykers! After all, she grew up surrounded by psykers and AAT people, so she was even excited to finally have one close, again. But Edel was straight-up hostile towards her.

I think she would be deeply unhappy as one of his advisors, and would long for her old crew she could not come back to. Eventually, Edel would try to get rid of her, and rather sooner than later. I'm not sure she would win this stand.

11. Any non-companion NPC's that your RT has an interesting dynamic with?

Let me indulge myself and tell you how much Isabella von Valancius values her High Factotum. I say 'indulge' because question stands for interesting dynamic but these two are just work besties, nothing truly special — BUT THEY ARE SPECIAL TO ME

So, Isabella spent the last decade serving in the supplies division (I still don't know how you name this service correctly), so when she got to her shiny new position she took it with the motto FUCK IT WE TRADE LOGISTIC MATTER.

First, she gave Janris Danrok the hell, personally diving into details of ship logistics and trade contracts, but she found his work more than satisfying and he found his new Lord Captain understanding the trade and supplies. And they just 👀🤝👀

But okay, to add some spice. I believe I mentioned that at some point Isabella sent Jae from her ship to work from some other spot, saying she's got enough of her lies but still wanted to use her connection and talents. The final straw that bought Jae a one-way ticket from vv flagship was an absolutely minor innocent lie, not worth any drama.

The truth is, Isabella got pissed off because of Jae harassing Danrok, calling her High Factotum all sorts of derogatory quartermaster-connected names, and ON THIS SHIP WE DO NOT TOLERATE HARRASING OUR LOGISTIC TEAM OKAY also Jae never became a friend close enough to find out Isabella served in logistics too, otherwise she would watch her words and wouldn't fuck up so much.

Anyway yes Lord Captain was being fucking petty but who could stop her

TYSM FOR ASKING AGAIN

[amourtoken]

NOOO YOU'RE RIGHT because my filthy fuckin mind thought about this when i was watching their interview with Theo Von and he said he liked to 'press buttons'....like press my buttons tf

HE'S AN INSTIGATOR!!!! FOR HIS OWN PLEASURE!!! He makes me fucking SICK!!!

like YEAH he could just automatically give in and give you whatever it is you're begging for w those pathetic teary puppy eyes or he could drag out this mental torment and make you work for it. I'm sure u can guess which one he chooses most often.

He doesn't necessarily want you to suffer, but watching you get so worked up gets him off and he knows the more he teases you the further he gets under your skin, it takes very little effort to drag you into some deep dark corner of subspace tbh. Let him toy with you then take care of you pls.

You could be in actual tears on your knees with your face pressed against his cock through his sweats begging for it and he's living the DREAM in that moment

"Awe poor baby...you want some dick? I don't know, have you earned it?"

"Always so fuckin' needy. You really need to get fucked that bad? I think you can wait."

"If you need it that bad then show me. Open." (100% spits in your mouth before slapping his cock on your tongue)

Ari will tease you until you literally cannot take it anymore. At this point you'd take anything and he knows that, he'll make you ride his thigh until you're shaking through an orgasm or cockwarm him while he sits back and threatens to pull out entirely if you keep squirming (it's not easy when he's grinding up into you or rubbing your clit then expecting you to sit still and be quiet. Like I said he's the devil.)

At his worst I could definitely see him jacking off inches away from your face and not letting you touch him (or yourself) until literally the last second but tbh that's a pretty rare one since he can't help himself and you feel so much better than his own hand in any situation. He can't be mean forever. If you manage to get through all his little trials and torments then the reward is WELL worth it though. He'll praise you so heavily while he's drilling you into the mattress in every position he can think of, letting you (more like making you tbh) cum on his cock as many times as possible before he spills into you.

The aftercare is UNMATCHED too, he makes sure you know he loves you even after teasing you for what felt like or really could've been hours. More than likely he makes sure you get some easy dick between then and the next time he decides to play with you like this though too, but damn if he doesn't like making you rlly work for it.
