when you decide to stop torturing us and harry and ginny finally find their way back to each other and eventually have sex, it better be the most mind blowing, toe curling, hair pulling experience for the both of them hannah!! you better not do us dirty!!

now you may be wondering which story i’m talking about. BOTH OF THEM HANNAH. YOURE KILLING US IN BOTH!!

funny little quirk about me... when i plot out a multichap, i typically write the... uh... climax first

so don't say i never did anything for you.......

Harry caught her hands, needing to drag out this moment, needing it to last as long as possible. He spun them both, pressing Ginny into the faded wallpaper and pinning her hands on either side of her head. She sucked in a startled breath, laced with fear and panic, and a flicker of memory burst to life in his mind's eye. Of the Harpies locker room. Of muttered coercions and thinly veiled threats. His hold loosened immediately and he whispered a quick apology. “Shut up.” Ginny fisted his collar and pulled his face back down to hers. She kissed him so ferociously, Harry had to press into her to keep them both from toppling over.

oh and....

Harry pulled back enough to search her eyes. She couldn’t figure out what he saw there, but between one breath and the next, he surged forward and captured her mouth in his. The force of his kiss rocked her back a half step and she clutched at his arms to steady her balance. As if this was some unwritten cue, Harry slid his hands up her hips and around to fist in the jumper at the small of her back. Settling into the feeling of his arms wrapped around her, an all consuming craving erupted in Ginny’s middle and she responded to it immediately. Her fingers dug into his biceps, the round of his shoulders, the soft muscles at the base of his neck. Harry tilted his head, his tongue teasing her bottom lip and it was the easiest thing in the world to open to him and let him take, and take, and take.

can i say extremely funny to watch cleo be super judgemental of how desperate grian is to be their friend. "we've already said yes two times i don't know why he's still trying to convince us" cleo give him a break he's lonely and needs validation everyone's been making fun of him for three weeks now,

I feel that recent developments have made me fully understand the function skk serves in the story of bsd and where their relationship is headed, and I think it's a direction that is hard for the fandom to accept.

Like we can't forget that Dazai and Chuuya aren't the main characters. Dazai's development is important but has little to do with Chuuya in the present day. And Chuuya is a minor character who appears sparingly.

Double Black are the ultimate duo. They are what Atsushi and Akutagawa aspire to be. They can communicate without speaking and always save the day. Their strategies have never failed them. Their partnership is perfect.

And just like characters, fictional relationships can't be developed if they're already perfect and have no flaws to begin with.

Sure, we the fans may see room for improvement in their partnership. They could have better communication skills, for one. But I don't think Asagiri sees it the same way. And I don't think Dazai and Chuuya themselves see a problem with their current setup either. "If it ain't broke", etc.

Atsushi and Akutagawa's partnership is the one meant to dramatically evolve over time. They're the ones getting a feel for each other and trying to find their footing in the world. They get all the conflict, the sacrifices, the angst.

Dazai and Chuuya are meant to be static. They've already completed the growth Atsushi and Akutagawa are currently experiencing. There really isn't a struggle there.

We've been spoiled by the Fifteen and Stormbringer light novels but I think that's where Double Black's development is meant to stay. In the past. We're still in for the reveal of Chuuya's feelings following Dazai's defection, but we already know what happens when Dazai returns after 4 years. And that's that things get smoothed over basically without incident. They're back to working perfectly as a duo and really, there's nothing to be said between them. And I think that will remain true through to the end of the series.

hannah can you talk a little bit about what harry will be like telling ginny about their first time? I think it's going to be hilarious

“Does that mean we…” Ginny trailed off, her liquid courage failing her.

Slouched at the other end of the sofa, Harry turned to look at her in lazy confusion. “We what?”

Instead of answering, she grabbed the bottle of Ogden’s from his hand and took another swig. Harry laughed as she sputtered and coughed.

He grabbed the bottle back like he was afraid she might hurt herself with it. “I’ve never been able to out drink you.”

“Don’t get used to it,” Ginny promised. Though she was fairly certain she wouldn’t suddenly learn how to shoot whiskey overnight. Harry hummed in agreement and swallowed down a mouthful. His throat bobbed as he tossed it back without incident.

Heat pooled low in her belly, and a dull throb ached between her legs. Ginny really didn’t think she could handle much more of this proximity, so she tried again.

“So, we were each others’...?”

Despite her being nearly twenty-one years old. Despite the fact that she knew she was married. Despite her husband sitting right there next to her on the couch, Ginny still couldn’t get the words out.

Understanding sparked in his eyes and Harry snorted. “Firsts?”

She felt her face heat at his cavalier tone. “Yeah.”

His grin stretched wider. “Yeah.”

“What was it-” she stopped abruptly at the look on Harry’s face. He had his bottom lip pulled inside his teeth and his face reddening with each passing second. “It’s not funny!”

He ignored this reproach and burst into laughter anyway.

Ginny smacked him lightly on the shoulder. “You can’t blame me for being curious!”

“No, I’m sorry,” he agreed quickly, still chuckling. “It’s just…”

“What?”

“It was really…”

“What!?”

“I mean,” Harry shifted in his seat. “It was so…”

“So… what?”

“So…”

Ginny huffed impatiently, “Just tell me!”

“It was so bad.”

She sat stunned for two, maybe three seconds, then burst into uncontrollable giggles.

Harry clapped his hands over his face and groaned.

All I want…is for Pete to have a white streak in his hair where Wiggly touched him. Okay? Is that too much to ask? For the drama???

Part 2 - Part 3

[essektheylyss]

It's very interesting that both Allura in this episode and Essek in 2.124 frame the Luxon as a pre-Founding entity that has been in Exandria since before the Primordials or the pantheon, because it really does complicate the idea of gods as a single unified classification. Discussions around, say, the Raven Queen's ascension and Artagan's godhood are interesting of course, but lend themselves to a hierarchy of being and power—mortals and archfey must be elevated to a higher position to reach a place among the gods—but the Luxon throws a wrench into the hierarchy itself.

Fandom discussions around the Luxon referring to it as an entity tend to feed into this hierarchy as well, even when framing the Luxon in a positive light, by placing the classification of god or deity as a literal higher power in a contemporary and very sociopolitical conceptualization of "power," positioning anything in that role as inherently oppressive, and I think this also does the conversation a disservice. A better metaphor, in my opinion, is to compare deities to the fundamental forces of physics.

The way that dunamis has been said to intertwine with reality on a minute level and the Luxon's extension of divine power without direct communication suggests to me that its power in relation to other deities is somewhat akin to gravity itself—gravity is the weakest of the fundamental forces, but much farther reaching, and therefore it exerts a massive influence on the cosmos in spite of that lesser strength.* This echoes the complexities of trying to rely upon a hierarchy of being in this discussion, because such hierarchies are always constructed and imposed, not inherent. Sometimes they are constructed by those positioned at the top, and other times not, but from any angle, regardless of field, they tend to be used to justify some moral stance and standing.

This is utterly negated by the Luxon's existence. Whatever can be said about it as an entity, it seems to be an inherently amoral being—it does not seem to concern itself with moral questions, and very possibly has no capacity to do so. At the same time, dunamis seems to be enmeshed within the reality of the Material Plane and the Weave itself, perhaps even the Skein of Fate—as described, dunamis may well be the very particulate matter comprising the choices of everything in the cosmos and how those choices intertwine.

The Raven Queen, as an ascended mortal, can look upon the individual heroes of the story and acknowledge them, validate them, but the Luxon has no inherent position from which to look, and as such evades any positionality within the constructed hierarchy upon which the questions of this campaign hinge.

*Complicating this metaphor is the fact that gravity's weakness means it doesn't exert significant influence on a micro scale, but I do not ever purport to suggest that dunamancy is a one-to-one mirror of the realities of quantum mechanics, not least because Matt is definitely no more a physicist than I am.

i did the whole kaveh hangout and it was perfect, but the part i most come back to is when kaveh’s mom met alhaitham’s parents and was like “these guys are so fucking boring and weird, i don’t think we’ll be friends” when, if they had lived, they would have been her son’s in-laws
