merlin: this is a bad idea. like one of your worst ones yet. i'm telling you, we should just do what i say. this is gonna be a disaster.
arthur: oh come on merlin, don't be so dramatic.
*the bad thing that merlin said would happen happens. they fix it. it's fine*
merlin, smug: so-
arthur, tired: don't start.
merlin, even more smug: don't start what? all i'm saying is that i'm glad everything worked out alright. though if you had listened to me earlier the entire thing could've been avoided.
arthur, staring a hole into merlin's head:
merlin, staring right back: ...i told you so.
arthur: i got that. thank you.
*merlin hums and wanders off. arthur watches him. slowly a smile spreads across his face*
arthur, murmuring to himself: he is the most insufferable man i've ever met.
*arthur giving order after order to merlin. cuts himself off and informs merlin that visitors are arriving tomorrow so he should get started on preparations. merlin is annoyed and tries to argue back*
arthur: just do as i say. i'm your king after all.
merlin: a prat is what you are.
arthur, already walking away: that's treason!
*merlin stares as arthur walks off and runs into some of his knights down the hall. they chat for a moment and arthur says something that makes them laugh. he turns to look over his shoulder at merlin with a grin and a wave before turning back to the conversation*
merlin, fighting his own grin: he's the most infuriating man i've ever met.

“They’re dogs and he’s a wolf,” said Jon. “They know he’s not their kind.”
Lord Ramsay laughed. "You're not a man, Reek. You're just my creature. You'll have your wine, though. Walder, see to it. And fear not, I won't return you to the dungeons, you have my word as a Bolton. We'll make a dog of you instead. Meat every day, and I'll even leave you teeth enough to eat it.
A Dance with Dragons - Reek II
"I see what you are, Snow. Half a wolf and half a wildling, baseborn get of a traitor and a whore. You would deliver a highborn maid to the bed of some stinking savage. Did you sample her yourself first?
A Dance with Dragons - Jon X
When Little Walder pulled him up and Big Walder waved the torch at him to herd him from the cell, he went along as docile as a dog. If he'd had a tail, he would have tucked it down between his legs.
A Dance with Dragons - Reek I
"Aye. All that, and more. You are a warg too, they say, a skinchanger who walks at night as a wolf." King Stannis had a hard smile. "How much of it is true?"
A Storm of Swords - Jon XI
That night, besides the collar, there was a ragged blanket too, and half a chicken. Reek had to fight the dogs for the meat, but it was the best meal he'd had since Winterfell.
A Dance with Dragons - Reek II
The smells are stronger in my wolf dreams, he reflected, and food tastes richer too. Ghost is more alive than I am. He left the empty cup upon the forge.
A Dance with Dragons - Jon II
The other man had been a good rider, but Reek was uneasy on horseback. It had been so long. He was no rider. He was not even a man. He was Lord Ramsay's creature, lower than a dog, a worm in human skin.
A Dance with Dragons - Reek II
“The Weeper’s red rheumy eyes gave Jon another look. “Aye? Well, he has a wolfish cast to him, now as I look close.”
A Storm of Swords - Jon I
"Reek," he said. "Your Reek."
"Do this little thing for me, and you can be my dog and eat meat every day," Lord Ramsay promised.
A Dance with Dragons - Reek II
The taste of hot blood filled Jon's mouth, and he knew that Ghost had killed that night. No, he thought. I am a man, not a wolf. He rubbed his mouth with the back of a gloved hand and spat.
A Dance with Dragons - Jon II
Damon Dance-for-Me sat greasing up his whip. "Reek," he called. He tapped the whip against his calf as a man might do to summon his dog. "You are starting to stink again, Reek."
A Dance with Dragons - A Ghost in Winterfell
"The beast," he gasped. "Look! The beast that tore the life from Halfhand. A warg walks among us, brothers. A WARG! This . . . this creature is not fit to lead us! This beastling is not fit to live!" A Storm of Swords - Jon XII
"You would have done better to slit his throat," said the lord in mail. "A dog who turns against his master is fit for naught but skinning." "Oh, he's been skinned, here and there," said Ramsay.
A Dance with Dragons - Reek I

I honestly think the intensity of Klaus' feelings and their unwavering caliber unnerved Caroline. Pure love & affection was what she craved the most and when it finally made its way to her in the form of Klaus she didn't know what or how to process it. It overwhelmed her, it made her anxious, frightened even but beyond tempted.
Like a moth to a flame , both found themselves drawn to the light in each other.
I have thoughts beyond thoughts about Klaus and his motivations but I can say simply that he wasn't solely driven by "power" like the show tries to push but what he craved the most : love.
They're characters driven by love, born from illicit affairs , and both suffered from the ostracization of their conceptions. Yet in the face of adversity persevered to live, to be free from the cage the world tried to trap them in!

Hello to the Buddyfight fandom it's been a hot minute but god do i miss this show and have been making fanart for it in the background so i thought i'd post to tumblr too ^^
I swear every year I end up coming back to this show and wishing that it kept going, that it got rebooted, that i could just erase my memories of this show and just watch it all over again from the beginning to enjoy everything once again from Tasuku's own sense of justice twisting against him to Gao's suffering of PTSD and how heartfelt it was handled.
There's something very special about this show that I haven't been able to find replicated elsewhere. It has the most perfect world to exist (so much so that i'd love to be isekai'd into it if i could!!!) and while i have my own gripes with it (hi S3+) i honestly sometimes wish i could go back to my high school years of watching this show just to relive it all again :'D
Anyways!!! I hope there's still people out there who enjoy this show even ten years later who'll like seeing new funny artwork for it!
I wanna add too that i'm hoping to create a rewrite of FCBF (ft. seasons 1-3 + Ace) or at least create more artwork for my interpretation of it and its world!
Because, sincerely, this show is one of the few that, for all its flaws, hasn't disappointed me in the years that've followed unlike many other things i've seen and i wanna try to keep the spirit of it alive while I can thanks to that. And if there are any fans still in existence who love it, i wanna provide some food while its once again in my orbit because damn do i adore this show <3 <3 <#

MEET MR. JOE (Joseph) REACHER: Reacher's big brother.
Charismatic, smart, level-headed, and a 10/10 people-person, Joe is the most approachable one of the Reacher brothers, always at the ready to handle a conversation, a negotiation, a transaction, you name it.
Born in a military base in the Philippines, this 6'6" man leans more to using his brains, in contrast to Reacher's brawn aspect, despite them both being close to equals. Where Reacher excels more in the physical, Joe excels more in the mental.
From a young age, he perfected his innate ability to control emotions and discovered the fact that not everyone can employ this ability, exploiting it both in and out of the military, especially now that he works for the Secret Service. Usually, Joe can divert things to work in his favor by simply choosing which emotion will elicit the reaction or result he is aiming for; he can cry on cue, grow excited, lose all care, and the like, all by deciding upon it – like turning a switch on or off. This makes him able to lie easily and constantly to further get his way, but mostly as a means of protection or to solve a case.
When they were young, he was an integral pillar for Reacher, teaching him all he knew, protecting him when he could, and fighting side by side to survive the turmoil they faced by being military children and, subsequently, military men. This guardian aspect of himself went to follow him even in adulthood, his own sense of justice compelling him to try and fix everyone's problems, just like he used to fix Reacher's. He is a fixer, he looks to help as many people as he can, despite knowing that not everyone can be saved – he still has to try, after all.

On top of the Rhea and Dimitri comparison, Claude’s own teammates compare Claude to Edelgard (and an NPC in Golden Wildfire mentions that Claude reminds them of Hubert). So yeah, they really want to ingrain in you that Claude and Edelgard are a parallel just as Dimitri and Rhea are. Married DimiRhea v Married EdelClaude fan fics when
It's funny because I found this on the translation website, when Claude uwus because uwu the game doesn't want to kill Supreme Leader :
Bar the lols at the lolcalisation team thinking "I must" and "I want" are interchangeable, Supreme Leader is out for his blood when Clout wants to find another way lol
But we don't have any direct parallel where Dimitri wants to kill the evil lizard lady, so no quotes to compare.
However, Nopes reveals that Clout and Supreme Leader's alliance is always a flimsy one, Clout wanting to one-up her whenever he can, going as far as trying to kill her if stars are aligned a certain way in Supreme Bullshit.
Meanwhile, whenever they ally, Dimitri and Rhea remain cordial to each other, in Nopes they have tea and talk about agriculture and even spar together, in FE16, in Tru Piss, they spared so much that Dimitri has a B rank in brawling.
Like people already said in the og post, FE16's subtext can make for interesting comparisons and foils between the 4 characters (Rhea included) and how they can be foils to each other....
But it never happened because 1/Rhea/Nabateans must not be developed else no Hresvelg Tea 2/ Supreme Leader can't look BaD.
