Me when Ashton Greymoore is denied honorable and meaningful self-sacrifice, and now must face the reality that they MUST keep living after it’s All Over
#critical role#critical role spoilers#cr spoilers#ashton greymoore#bells hells#cr ashton#like#Tal and Ash were both so clearly ready#for Ashton to sacrifice themselves. and comparing that to Ashton’s backstory#to Ashton being left behind as a sacrifice. and becoming bitter(er) and lonely and denouncing ever growing close to someone again#to meeting letter. and learning from letters. and so much about telling letters not to self sacrifice.#but then letters does. and Ashton is ready to go to. he’s prepared to go out to save everyone#and he was so prepared for that to be where his story ends#but he doesn’t. and not through failure but through success#and now (though more trials still await) they must face the reality they must keep living after it all#and face the reality that they will not survive alone.#that they have come out the other side. alive but changed. but not in some miraculous way.#they are not healed. they did not go out protecting those they loved. and they are forced to contend#with the fact they will continue to walk this earth. as it is changed. but not miraculously fixed. but not sacrificed#and like. Ashton having to contend with the change. that the Thing is over. but they are not alone#they are alive. and have friends and a love. and a world familiar and new to love and learn#that they have a connection to but not an ancient force they are upholden to#that they and the earth will learn together#I’ll be honest only the first half of these tags was planned when I started typing about ash being forced to contend with having to live#having to live despite it all. that there’s no big change. no miracle. good or bad. but you must keep going. and how beautiful that is#for Ashton’s story and just in general for people who would resonate with him#but then like I remembered they’re gonna scare off the gods and so exandria is totally gonna change but like#consider my initial point and how beautiful it is#and how I managed to shoehorn it in to still make sense#babblestar

Nobuhiko Okamoto really out there promoting his BL manga that is basically a bkdk au and you people here are just... NOT TALKING ABOUT IT?????
#bakudeku#bkdk#he really said: FINE if no one else is gonna do it i guess i'll have to do it myself#'this is a work of pure love 🥹'#one of the characters is a crybaby called uzuki and he was bullied as a kid and the other one is blond and he's uzuki's hero#and they're childhood friends whose relationship got strained over the years but now they're in high school together and they get kidnapped#and forced into some...survival game(?) where they have to fuck or die and it's called 'boku no spirited away'#like????? SIR????? EXPLAIN YOURSELF?!?!?!?#can't believe no one here is talking about it and i had to find out when i randomly saw it mentioned by someone from a different fandom#you're all on twitter and get these interesting news every day yet you choose to leave us all here in the dark. NOT FAIR

the issue with most hunger games aus is that I feel like people generally make the assumption that the battle royale part of it is the most interesting. and I oh so firmly disagree with that assessment
#there’s an inherent tragedy of everyone being forced to kill each other#but what about the inherent tragedy of being forced to band together to survive the aftermath?

One of the best Voyager scenes to indicate Tuvok & Neelix's dynamic and how I think Tuvok is just as if not more 'annoying'(positive) than Neelix is when Neelix pours Tuvok a fresh squeezed glass of a fruit juice blend and Tuvok's like (paraphrased) "I don't want to drink this." and Neelix is like "Can you please try it?" and Tuvok's like "I don't want to, you're really bad at this sort of thing. It's going to taste bad." and Neelix says that Ensign XYZ said she LOVED it, she even had a second glass! And Tuvok says Ensign XYZ could drink poison without a second thought and Neelix is like "Tuvok could you please just TRY it? Just try a little SIP of it PLEASE??" and Tuvok sighs and rolls his eyes and sniffs it before taking a sip and it turns out he loves it. Turns out it tasted good actually. And then after all that Neelix tries to talk to him over eggs (which he's again cooking fresh for him) and Tuvok tells him he doesn't wanna hear "the life history of his breakfast." Absolutely insufferable this man I would have burned his eggs on PURPOSE!!!!
#I love Neelix so much and I think he and Tuvok are very funny together - irritating4irritating#People say 'Neelix is so pushy with Tuvok!' and you know what? I think Tuvok can handle it. I think maybe he does need to be pushed -#down a flight of stairs. (he's my favorite character and he's so annoying...TUVOK!!!!!)#Tuvok: -kicking and screaming- I don't want to drink the juice!!! It's poison!!! You're trying to poison me!!!!!!!!!#Neelix: Can you please drink the juice. The fresh squeezed juice I made for you Mr. Vulcan??? Can you please???#Tuvok: Fine but if I die it's your fault. If I die from the poison you're FORCING me to drink it's on y- Oh this is delicious actually.#and don't tell me 'Neelix didn't make it SPECIFICALLY for Tuvok' bc I know he didn't but he says#'I'll start squeezing that second glass!' after Tuvok finishes his sip so he IS freshly squeezing it#Neelix: -makes Tuvok fresh squeezed juice-#Tuvok: Are you trying to poison me???#Neelix: -talks to Tuvok while making his eggs-#Tuvok: Can you be quiet???#<- TUVOK!!!!!!!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU EHHEHEHEH <3#Tuvok is the most annoying guy ever bc he doesn't care about what people think and is a snob with a lowkey superiority complex#vs Neelix is perceived as annoying (post his relationship with Kes) bc he cares a lot about being useful and helping the crew and sometimes#is too pushy because of that but listen...I think Neelix is sweet and genuinely trying his best - after the Kes plotline with him ends I#really don't find him objectionable. Just chatty & a bit overbearing maybe Meanwhile Tuvok !!!#Meanwhile Tuvok!!!!!!!!! HHEHEHHE#st voyager#star trek voyager#I think they should have done more with Neelix thinking the crew of Voyager were spoiled - specifically how Tuvok acts Like That sometimes#little lord Tuvok. oH SORRY...for DEIGNING to speak while preparing your eggs your HIGHNESS!!#I think people do a disservice to Tuvok by not talking more about how he's kind of a hardass and a snob v_v also a disservice to Janeway#indirectly bc her bestie is kind of a hardass and a snob and what does that say about her??#I also wish Neelix kept up a bit of that 'these people are crazy and also so soft oh my god shut up about the food being bad - we're trying#to SURVIVE!!! Eat the Leola Root!!' from the earlier seasons...I like when he shows he has a bit of bite#It's just funny and interesting that Janeway isn't friends with Tuvok bc he's 'not like other Vulcans' - she's friends with the most#Vulcany Vulcan ever and I love that for them.#CRIMINAL that we don't ever get any in-depth insight into their friendship#Tuvok

post-empire dai would have the hardest time with not being able to just throw himself back in the fight. he's always been able to pick himself up and slip into the force—when it was a smooth lake in his youth, when it was a raging river during the war, when in was an inscrutable sea beneath the shadow of the empire—and the fracturing of that connection would leave him completely rudderless at a point where he needs the purpose and grounding more than ever before. being forced to stop and really focus on healing himself (rather than fixing something or healing someone else) would drive him to wonder if everything he's been doing the past fifteen years has been for the good of the galaxy or just to stave off having to truly grapple with the tragedy of the jedi's fall
#his canonical crisis of faith wouldn't be in the jedi or the force but in himself#I think he'd have a moment (or many moments) where he thinks maybe he's tricked everyone into thinking he's a good jedi#how can he know he's doing good for the sake of good? what if he's been pretending all these years?#what if his friends insisting he's a good jedi and a good friend are talking about a version of himself that never existed?#it's not like any of them know! it's not like there's any one of the order left to help him find his path again (ozy don't interact)#and then the fear that maybe that means the empire won#daichi who survived the inquisitors and didn't fall but whose undoing might be having to figure out how to put himself back together again#anyway. I feel chill and normal.#daichi#.star wars au

not saying this to discredit cartalex or anything. mad respect for cartalex shippers BUT Carter had a very genuine reason to be mad at alex and he really did all that because he was mad at him and he was grieving and trying to gain some control in his life in a very ill fated approach so I wouldn’t really call it middle school crush hair pulling situation cause he really didn’t care for him at all before the whole plane thing happened. His behavior with Billy on the other hand…now that’s pulling on his ponytail behavior cause he really was doing that for shits and giggles
#I think cartalex works best in a post flight 180 world where they are forced to team and get close to each other and learn about each other#and you know find a way to get used to living together and survive together cause otherwise they wouldn’t happen#final destination

zolf in rqg207 is so much. nearly crying on this coach over him turning around mid-battle ready to absolutely obliterate this thing, seeing hamid nearly dead on the floor, and stopping everything else he was doing because "absolutely not"
#i will never not cry over zolf and hamid. i think about them for too long and feel like im gonna throw up#bc at this point in the campaign they just. straight up dont like each other?#they barely had a conversation since 192 if i remember correctly#they can barely stand to be in a room together#but zolf will still move directly through the enemy's space and ignore all tactics for the chance of saving hamid's life#my post#rqg#i think Constantly about if hamid had been attacked one turn later as well#could you Imagine if zolf had to choose between hamid and wilde#i genuinely dont think i would ever survive#could you imagine zolf and azu looking at each other if he was forced to make that choice

what if silver saved the future but he goes back and everyone is living underwater with submarines and shit would he like that
Hmmm good question. He would be thrilled there are people but the fact they are living under water... something made it so they had to i assume so he wouldnt be too happy about that. That would be a big problem for him. This being said i think if Silver could solve that issue in that time he might, since there are so many people. I do also think he'd find zooming around in the water fun : )
#having people around would be. very important to him. very few of the futures he came from had many people to our knowledge.#actually i think the only future he came from that could plausibly have people is the timeline from Rivals so like this is very exciting.#actual real life people! who are alive!! they live together in a society! that hasnt collapsed!#however yeah the living underwater thing woild mean either everyone on land was wiped out or had find a way to adapt to living underwater to#survive. that fact would be something Silver would feel obligated to fix because hes like. looking for utopia. hes looking for a future that#is under no threat. nothing that would change life so dramatically as forcing people to live underwater.#and i think if there were so many people and the problem were solvable in that moment#then he would fix it there and then. because he has done that kinda stuff before (06. before the timeline got screwed)#otherwise..... i guess it depends on how happy people are. the most important thing is that people are smiling. idk. that would be tough#ask#z0nic#talk tag

A Soul to Guide: Duskwalker Brides: Book Four
By: Opal Reyne
Monster Scale
Level 05: Advanced Monsterfuckery
Y’know Elias from Ancient Magus’ Bride? He’s basically that.
My Overall Rating For The Book
"I Bought The Ebook or Will Read On Kindle Unlimited"
Fun read, I loved reading about all the different, crazy worldbuilding happening in this book! Only issue I have is that the 'elves' were maybe dipicted as a little too perfect, or just completely oblivious to the horros/misfortunes they are partially responsible for. I'm not sure which is which.
Raewyn and Merikh are an interesting pair, and I feel like I had finally settled into a groove with their relationship near the end of the story.
I'm excited to see where the story continues!
Overly Simplified Summary
Raewyn wants to return to her home in the fae realm, and Merikh wants to leave Earth behind to start a new life where he isn't treated like a monster. With the same interests at heart, the pair journey together.
Keep reading for ‘This Book Has Everything’ and possible Trigger Warnings.

Me, earlier and sick reopening my notes app: Oh, I have a Harry Potter fic idea in here. What AU idea did I have here?
Me, now: Well, sorry Voldemort, you aren't rising again and Dumbledore, you are fired!
#i dont know what got up my butt with this fic#but it was essentially what if Andromeda and Narcissa joined forces to fix the education problems in magical britain#all because their dad became the last surviving Black (before Sirius) and went#“no one can tell me off now. I'm reconciling with my daughter.”#leading to them accidentally destroying several of Voldemort's horcruxes and an actual capture of Pettigrew#(harry did still destroy the diary)#i think the only unaccounted for ones are the ring and the diadem and harry himself#which i have a plan for harry and the ring#i have no idea how to handle the diadem but barty crouch jr and pettigrew definitely arent gonna be available to help lord moldy rise again#so who actually knows if he could#i cant believe i have this half-cobbled together note story just typed out in my phone notes though#i wrote again today though so look at that#faith talks

for the word game !! “red” or “blue”
- @we-are-inevitable ✨
(send me a word & I'll find it in my minibang fic!)
I've got a really great blue for you!
David falls heavily onto the couch and Spot sits down across from him, pulling his knees to his chest. He wraps his right hand over the strip of threadbare blue fabric tied around his left wrist – one of Spot’s little mementos, torn from Racer’s favorite breeches after he died the first time.
#if you're wondering how that fabric has survived ~300 years don't worry about it#spot is vaguely magic they're holding it together by sheer force of will lol#building momentum au

sometimes i think about my spn oc and how i rewrote everything about amara to interact with the story i was trying to tell about her. there were some really neat ideas in that i need to recycle for something one day. like, in the show proper, they just let amara take over a human baby and that’s fine, but amara’s not Meant To Be Here. this entire universe is one constructed in her absence. saying she can possess a human body should be like saying if you took a person and sent them to a universe where 1+1=3, they could just figure out how to function within that.
which in story took the form of Amara being something that could not be Understood, only Rationalized. a force locked outside the narrative who could only get inside and destroy things if given a role within it. by the Winchesters as A Monster To Face. by Chuck as Wayward, Unreachable Sister. and by miss oc as. simultaneously a projected creature to be saved, an amalgamation of injustices done to herself (and others) that would never be righted but could be made up for by being a part of this. and as something impossibly powerful that could be both protection and purpose.
and the Darkness wasn’t any of those things, really, but to have agency in her own story required new shackles, but ones she was always straining against. she wouldn’t fit inside the confines of a human mind, let alone a body, at least not well enough to leave it Intact. like lucifer burning through nick, but Worse. because the burns were an expected outcome of skin not strong enough to hold him. humans were built for angels, some were built better and some worse, but they’re meant to work. putting amara in human skin should disconnect the skin and mind and soul from the reality her brother built itself, i think. slowly. bit by bit.
and at the same time, i’d gone and written the kind of wild scenario you really can only write for your thirteen year old mary sue, given that spn oc the part of herald/high priestess/failed vessel. which she pursued with wild abandon like that would fix anything wrong with her <3
in the end, running alongside the borrowed family theming of the original show was my own theme of “how much self-annihilation will you accept to make your point. are you accepting it, really. or are you seeking it.” not just physically, in letting something unmake the base components of what you are as it tries to fit inside you or in it constricting and suffocating itself beyond self-recognition to get inside in the first place, but, obviously, it’s supernatural, how much selfhood do you cede to your family. is it worth it.
it was interesting, if nothing else. let thirteen year old me cook. she had ideas.
#spn oc#don’t mind this i’m rambling about nothing i felt nostalgic about her (<- my oc)#there was also an explanation in the mix for why amara was called amara in this au too despite. you know. not being a baby.#and it was like. a vessel’s desperate attempt to separate itself from the thing inside it by naming it something other than itself.#like a last moment of self-preservation. the opposite of lucifer using nick’s face and us all agreeing to think of it as his. you know?#and amara means beauty.#it’s a very human need. to name things. and the thing is that humanity itself is antithetical to what amara is. in this au.#not because of any inherent quality of it. but because it was not made with her in mind.#i keep bringing up lucifer but he’s such a good comparison case of what thirteen year old me was trying to construct here#and what i can better explain now that im. not thirteen. but its that. lucifer has beef with humans because they have common ground.#the only reason he can hate them is because they’re recognizable to him. terrible little cockroaches. but something he understands.#amara as i conceived of her could not hate or love or understand humanity. or the world. or anything as we know it. because it was not made#to be seen by her. it was made with the express purpose of her never encountering it.#when i was thirteen i wanted her to be so much more alien than she was. unfortunately this is supernatural and supernatural deals in#Just Some Guy forever and ever <3#but it was my story so i made her fucked up and weird and beyond comprehension.#except. of course. when forced to bend into a shape that makes her Not her.#i don’t think proper envesseling would have been a process either her or the oc survived. not because they’d die but because they’d get.#stuck? i think? that was what the intent was. that they’d get melted together like plastic toys.#chuck had a nice smooth envesseling in this au because these toys are made for him.#and angels need consent and angels get bleedover from their vessels because the toys are shared with them but they’re closer to being toys#themselves too.#i’ve rambled enough honestly no one cares about this but me aksjfkjfks#what was i talking about. right! the naming!#the naming of amara is a nail in her coffin because she is named and it is so human to be named and to be perceived and to be shaped by that#perception. even without malicious intent. even to be looked at as destruction itself and be named beauty.#in the same way you kill what something could be by learning what it is. the way a unicorn dies when you discover how rhinos were drawn.#does that make sense? that’s what kills her. bit by bit.
