#another consideration…

[cicicolorao]

I hope to one day come back to this idea, but I’d love to illustrate the disney princesses in my own style, with some redesigns to some of them, or just adding neat details I think are cool, like elvish attributes. For now, sketches!

But don’t worry guys they got Asian actors so it’s perfect :) :) :)

reading anything that steve blackman has to say regarding five and lila’s plotlines in season four like

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

Emily: "So the spear is making you feel... jealous?"

Charlie: "I'm not JEALOUS of it! I just feel like Vaggie relies on it more than she does on ME sometimes! That shouldn't be happening? I'm her girlfriend! But it's like they have this whoooooole shared history together-"

Emily: "Which they do."

Charlie: "-something I wasn't part of and could NEVER understand-"

Emily: "Also true. Hopefully. Considering all the murder."

Charlie: "-and it just! Makes me grumpy seeing her cling to a stupid spear when I'm RIGHT HERE!"

Emily: "She does look good holding it though."

Charlie: "...."

Charlie: (GLARES)

Emily: "But she looks better holding your hand! Much better!"

Charlie: "Hmph."

Emily: "Much happier, that's for sure."

Charlie: "I suppose that's true..."

Emily: "She has two hands anyway." (sigh) "Vaggie can hold her spear in one hand and your hand in the other if she wants too."

Charlie: "I guess. Unless... Emily?"

Emily: "Yes?"

Charlie: "You have two hands too, don't you?"

Emily: "Um, yes??"

Charlie: "So you could use one to usurp- I mean, to replace that stupid- to take the place of my girlfriend's beloved spear, right?"

Emily: "ME?"

Charlie: "Well you'd be better to hold onto than some dumb weapon. NOT that I'm JEALOUS of it."

Emily: "Oh Charlie I don't think- me, h-hold hands with Vaggie, I-"

Charlie: "Don't worry! She's not as scary as she looks!"

Emily: "EEee!"

Charlie: "She's actually VERY sweet~"

Emily: "Th-that's what I'm worried about!!!"

Charlie: "Look I'll hold your other hand for morale support, you'll be fiiiine."

Emily: "This is not going to end well-!"

Charlie: "As long as she stops carrying the spear around like a safety blanket I'll call it a win. She literally had Carmilla get her a sheath for the blade so she could snuggle it safely in bed"

Emily: "Oh."

Charlie: "You have no idea what I'm going through. Getting into bed with her these days means getting poked by my girlfriend's stiff shaft-"

Emily: "CHARLIE!"

Charlie: "-and NOT in a good way! It's just her non-fun SPEAR!!!"

Emily: "I don't think I can help with that!"

Charlie: "Sure you can! We have a big bed. You'll fit."

Emily: "I'll WHA-"

Charlie: "Your used to getting feathers in your face aren't you?"

Emily: "Whose-??"

Charlie: "Vaggie's. Her wings always pop out during the night and they're biiiiig and she likes to stretch them."

Emily: "O h my gosh..."

Charlie: "With you, plus her wings, there shouldn't be ANY room left for the spear! It'll just have to watch MISERABLY from the beside table while Vaggie gets PROPPERLY snuggled- AND NOT BY IT!"

Emily: "...."

Charlie: "....I swear I'm not being weird about this. I swear."

Emily: "I didn't say anything."

Charlie: "Say yes to helping me overthrow Vaggie's spear!"

Emily: "Could you make it sound slightly less weird than that???"

So I started playing Lotr Online, the MMO game of Lord of the Rings, and it's been fun so far. Started off as an elf, and was popped into the middle of a dramatic fight I had zero context for. Bad guy stabs me with an evil sword, and screen goes black. I wake up, and my buddies are happy to see me awake. Sorry everyone, didn't mean to scare you. Hey btw, Elrond, how long was I conked out for?

Years? I was in pained coma for years?? I guess that's elves for you, huh

Oh damn, the era changed while I was asleep? What a timing, haha

Year three thousand and- wait. The era changed while I was asleep. And it is now the year three thousand and eighteen of this era.

...

I was in a coma for at least three thousand and then some years??

Elves, man.

Elves.

when toshiro got on laios ass for being inconsiderate and never thinking about how his actions affect others like he was mean abt it but hes not wrong. Thats a pretty major character flaw and a pattern of behavior for laios — w not choosing jobs that made money for namari who is in a pretty dire financial situation where she cant even get off the island and has to go adventuring in the dungeon to get out of debt, who even explicitly brought this up, eating marcilles familiar immediately even tho she was attached to it, kidnapping shuro into his party and putting him in life threatening situations without like really checking he wanted to be there…?, wanting to see if izutsumi has more than one set of nipples when dehumanization is a HUGE huge issue for her the list goes on and on and on. Like when a friend does this to you its just kinda annoying but when ur the leader u really should be checking if everyones needs r met without them telling u. Like the autism plays a factor for sure, his cultural upbringing plays a factor for sure, but as ppl regardless I think u gotta step up to meet the needs of ppl in the moment or realize u shouldnt be calling the shots. just bc its influenced by factors out of ur control does not make it not a serious character flaw. And its written as such in the story.

Hello!! How would tf141 react to a very sassy reader? Like sassing them out for no reason what so ever?

Hey! Like this, I think!

TF141 with a Sassy Reader

Price: He can appreciate some good sass, as long as it’s appropriate. God knows how often he’s been sassed by one of his soldiers, especially Gaz, so he doesn’t mind it, to some degree. You can sass him if you want, he’ll sass you back if he can think of a comeback that’s fitting. However, if you sass him for the sake of being mean to him instead of trying to get a good chuckle out of something, or maybe making a situation less dire, then he won’t be as appreciative of it. Don’t get me wrong, Price could shout at you if he really wanted to, but he’d much rather make you feel some guilt and remorse for inappropriate behavior. Although it’s fairly rare that happens, it will happen if you get on his nerves too much. Will then ask you if you think what you said was really appropriate in such a situation. You can then apologize still and all will be good as long as you keep your mouth shut. Once he’s calmed down, you can crack a joke at his expense again. Again, he’s used to such things as a captain, but keep it professional and stay polite, for the most part, and you won’t have a problem with him.

Gaz: He sasses you right back. He’s not particularly afraid of authority as long as they’re up for some good natured fun. So it really doesn’t matter if you’re above or below him rank wise. As soon as you open your mouth and some sass leaves it, he’ll immediately have thought of something to say in retaliation. I wouldn’t be surprised if you small sass battles could go on for a while. It’s a game to him, the first person that doesn’t know how to respond anymore simply loses, end of story. Will slightly mock you if you did lose, though. After all, you use such big words, and then you lose to him of all people? Surely, you can do better. It’s not impossible to out-sass Gaz, but he always has something stupid to say if he can, so it would take a while before you could properly beat him at his own game. He doesn’t give up easily either. Even as the conversation is about to be over, if he can think of something to say he’ll just say it. Sort of ends up looking forward to talking with you, sometimes he just needs to be a little shit who runs his mouth without any consequences. Sassing Price sometimes brings consequences with it, but not with you. With you he’ll be as lightheartedly mean as he can be.

Ghost: He’s been shit talked so much, he doesn’t really care anymore. He’s a scary and intimidating guy, so naturally people have something to say about him. However, most of them usually don’t have the courage to say anything like it to his face. So yeah, he would be a bit surprised if someone actually did sass him for a bit. Would go quiet for a moment, processing that someone just said something mean to him. When he wants to be, even Ghost can be a bit sassy himself, though in his case he usually just ends up sounding mean more so than anything else. Will “sass” you back when he can. It’s a bit intimidating from someone like him, especially since his sass borders on threatening, but you can be sure he won’t go through with it. He just really wants to see how far he can push this entire thing and what he needs to do in order for you to stop running your mouth and cower in fear as well. That never comes, however, so he ends up sassing/threatening you a bit as well. I could see you becoming buddies over this, it’s really rare for someone to talk to him like that. It makes him smile when you can think of an especially good comeback. Might sass someone alongside you, if they really deserve it.

Soap: He definitely has some fun with you. Although he can be quite sassy himself as well when he wants to be, he usually just hops on the jokes of other people. Sees you sassing him as some kind of challenge, so you can be certain he’ll challenge you right back. After all, if you can run your mouth then surely you can prove yourself as well, right? It’s all a competition in his eyes and he’s somewhat of a sore loser. Though, if you really are all talk and there’s nothing behind what you’re saying, then he’ll get Gaz involved as well, thinking that, because his buddy is very sassy himself, there will be some fun sassing going on. He’s usually right, but he still stands by what he said: You should be able to prove yourself after everything you have to say. Soap doesn’t take too kindly to being sassed for no reason whatsoever. He will take you up on what you said and will have you do it better than he does. If you are better than him, fine. You get to run your mouth as much as you want, he can’t really complain then. However, if you end up being worse at something than he is then he’s earned every right to sass you to hell and back instead. It’s all fair in his eyes. If you improve you get to sass him again, but good luck.

Hello? Charles Leclerc? Yes, please stop making me crying, I'm emo enough already. Thank you. All the love.

In act 2,

Astarion admits to manipulating Tav and their feelings so that they wouldn't turn on him.

In act 3,

Ascended Astarion basically admits to Lae'zel that "sharing" the power with Tav (=making them his spawn) was to ensure Tav won't betray him. (and it will most likely happen anyway in the whole cycle of spawn killing their master which Astarion alludes to before the ritual when being in Cazador's office. And if we explore the office after the ritual with spawn, he comments [paraphrasing] he feels relieved he's not able to make his own spawn)

Spawn Astarion says that being with Tav is about more than lust or manipulating them into a tactical alliance, it's about love. He isn't afraid anymore, he feels safe. He's not going to push himself and use his body to get something out of a situation anymore. He drops the fakery, drops the seductive act.

[lostdeadpoets]

“What is love?”

“Love is consideration. It's understanding way beyond what words might be able to convey. It's a conscious choice to hold, to respect, to admire, to protect and to turn back, like Orpheus did for Eurydice.

Love is peace, the feeling of freedom that you get to be anything that you want to be, and it's acceptance that your person would love you just the way you are.

Love is security that you feel in someone's presence that everything is safe— your heart, your secrets, your thoughts, your soul. and it’s the assurance that your shortcomings would always be looked at with the perspective to help you grow from and your trauma to heal from.”

funny how everyone seemed to adore Zack until he started having more screentime...

I see your 'Dib and Dipper are friends of the same age who bond over paranormal stuff' AUs but may I humbly suggest the 'Dib is the cool older cryptozoologist that comes to the shack every once in a while to talk with Ford about paranormal stuff that Dipper has a crush on' AU? I think we have room in our hearts for both.

[krispiecake]
