My Cabinet of Tiger Ministers is in shambles.

yknow how sometimes dogs will hunt things and be like look i did so good!!! yayyy i got you this!!! bc theres a comedy story in my mind in which krypto decides he likes kon's friends and wants to give them presents too! and. well.

krypto leaves a dead bird on tim's pillow and tim goes oh shit fuck is this an oblique threat that someone's discovered my identity as one of the bird-themed heroes in gotham? but then why's it a fucked-up looking pigeon and not a robin or a rook (if youre like me and like tim taking on the name rook later)??????? and why is it so mangled and burned what does it mean is this a threat of a specific way someone wants to kill me?!?! who could it have been from?! when did someone even break in and why didn't they trip any of my alarms?!?! fuck i have to cancel my plans with kon and bart later shit i don't even know how i got compromised so i don't dare see either of them in public i don't want to risk them--fuck fuck fuck how did this happen i don't understand and why is it a pigeon and

meanwhile krypto is just like. :3c i did so good i am SUCH a good dog i leave him presents :) yayyy!!! i even cooked it for him. with heat vision! yaaayyy!!

so tim phones up kon like "listen we can't meet up this weekend i'm so sorry i think i've been compromised--" and goes on about how he needs to go on lockdown alert mode until he figures out what happened and who found him out and meanwhile kon's just. go back. the pigeon. describe that again.

tim describes the fucked up mangled burnt pigeon. and kon, who has dealt with his fair share of Superdog Presents and thought they'd come to an understanding about "krypto you can't do that you'll DECIMATE local wildlife" and such, just narrows his eyes. turns to the dog bed next to him. goes ……………………….. krypto.

and krypto's like :) wag wag wag :) yes thats me :) wag wag :) im good dog :) he is SO pleased with himself. thats one mystery solved!

this ends in tim, haunted, sitting at the farmhouse kitchen table while ma frets over him and makes him hot chocolate, kon wraps him in a blanket, krypto licks his feet, and lois is just like. yeah. been there. just be glad it wasn't sea monsters.

I miss clementine. I miss vinestaff's adopted creature. Could we see some new clementine. I just want to give the cuty a second hug.

(Bias towards the past? what's that :) )

funny enough! Guess what I’ve been forgetting to post for quite some time now :)

a child's plea

[sunlight-shunlight]

pondering that falon'din is associated with an owl, and those are also messengers of andruil. and he's referred to as "winged death" which is also mentioned to be something that elgar'nan deploys against enemies. and both falon'din and andruil are referred to as venturing into dark places, where no one else can survive/wanted to go.

and ghilan'nain was not initially an evanuris, but was antagonistic towards them and making a bunch of weird creatures. she was given the offer to join them in return for getting rid of the creatures, and accepted. but with "pride stopping her hand" from destroying a few. and when asked about trusting people to share power, solas says "I know that mistake well enough to carve the angles of her face from memory."

solas also has nothing good at all to say about falon'din, mostly calling him a bloodthirsty tyrant who went so far in encroaching onto other evanuris territory that mythal had to besiege his temple and beat him up to stop him.

but he says nothing about dirthamen at all.

dirthamen is described as having gone missing unexpectedly, scaring all his followers, because they were now unprotected. and caught between their own high priest wanting to lock them into the temple forever like a cask of amontillado, and other forces outside that wanted to take their secrets by force. there is one note that a dirthamen follower defied the evanuris and took on a forbidden (probably a dragon) type of form, and was judged by elgar'nan harshly. he apparently also invented the varterral to protect his town from a high dragon? wack, but also could indicate that he had worked with ghilan'nain on making it, since she's the only one who's otherwise mentioned to be bioengineering stuff.

dirthamen has very very few surviving statues or depictions, and is more associated with falon'din than as his own independent figure in the dalish myths. even his own temple includes mosaics of falon'din. there's a few statues that are probably dirthamen, but the most striking is in mythal's section of the fade behind the eluvian, which is a statue of a hooded figure, doubled over with a giant sword sticking out of his back.

hello!! i love your writing style sm!!!!

do you have any vip headcanons? could be vianca-specific or anything else either!

ahhh sorry im getting to this so late but ty i really appreciate that :) i don't have anything substantial but i'll throw out a couple

bianca found out about the divorce when vic told candice on set (so she found out with the rest of the world)

one time in college bianca let vic give her bangs. she ended up looking too good and vic was so afraid of their own attraction that they purposely fucked up their own work as a defense mechanism i.e. gave her microbangs

jokes on them bianca still rocked microbangs (grudgingly)

there's an old lady in vic and spencer's apartment complex who looks like nana to the point where vic initially refused to make eye contact with her. but spencer loves her because she gives him expired candy, so vic has to grin and bear it whenever he wants to say hi in the hallway

vic's therapist goes to therapy and complains about them

none of bianca's college girlfriends hung around for long after meeting vic. they never gave a proper shovel talk but they had a habit of staring unsettlingly at the girls whenever they got too close

vic likes marking bianca up to indicate possession and bianca likes to hear them say it (that they're hers) even if she can't make herself believe it

none of these are super serious but i hope it's a sorta satisfying answer!

Starting off this October with my favorite Zombie!

[chester-i-hardly-know-her]

crane wives songs ranked by how much i can make them about the magnus archives because that's the level of obsession i've reached part 1: safe ship, harbored (1/2)

one person said i should go through with this so let's go! i'm gonna split the albums in half to make the posts not as long. they are still going to be long. lyrics are in italics!

can't have it all: interesting one to start off! i feel like it kind of works, but i don't know how to work some of the more specific lines (i think you'll have a ring on your finger but not now, for example, which could work for something, i feel, but i haven't thought of it). but there's things like, my mind's made up, though my head still aches / and all my love you tried to take but / you can't have it all that just. really feel like they work with the themes of having to make awful choices and going through situations that take so much from them. could work for the finale choice even. you won't find me where you left me, no, i'm long gone / you can't bind me in the state you kept me for so long. which puts me in mind of like. all the ways they're trapped in situations where some of them are able to leave even if not all of them, like with the institute and the lonely and the web and the apocalypse. unfortuately they are often bound in horrors that are harder to leave. could work i think! 6/10.

the diving bell: on the entity side of things, very much readable as vast or buried with their whole shared custody of the ocean, or the general act of giving yourself fully to the fears. i will drown for you / sink to black from blue / and let the water win. like as a metaphor for a relationship it's very much one where the singer gives up everything in the process of loving something far greater than themself and drowns. i feel the need to mention jon's door with an ocean behind it metaphor, but it's hard to make it fully work for him given the line is i am not afraid to give you everything, and i feel like there's. definitely fear involved in that situation. only a few characters aren't somewhat afraid of their entities, though there's also some that are but might say or think they aren't. you could apply it to a relationship between characters, but none specifically come to mind that fit both the ocean theme and giving yourself up entirely? given the general entity themes work well but i have no specifics i've thought of, i'd say overall 5/10.

new colors: i have half a mind to climb up in the sky / and steal new colors away from the sun. like colours but if colours hated you? aside from that, it's like. don't tell me that i can't / i need this so damn bad. wanting new knowledge/experiences like that could be a little bit eye. needing it is a bit jon, even. referencing him destroying the dark sun potential. and of course there's the line i'd give up my sight to see, which can work from a few angles, depending on if the eye is the sight or the seeing. giving up the eye to get a clearer view on things or the other way around? can work with melanie literally giving up her sight to escape as well. i'd give up my air to breathe is not a line i instantly connected to the buried and daisy getting clarity there, but i got attached to the interpretation. can also be read as giving up their life, which makes it fit a whole lot of other situations too, which is good given the line repeats. then there's the second verse, folks round here are mean, spit fire and gasoline / but all i want is solitude. like yeah. that's pretty s4 martin. first line has desolation links but can work with the more negative times in the archives, or avatars in general with the context of the whole verse. a lot to work with here. this was a 7 at first but given i started planning an animatic in my mind the more i looked at it, it gets bumped up to an 8/10.

caleb trask: this song apparently references a book, which does add layers if you want to look further, but the context doesn't change the themes of the song itself, that your blood/past shouldn't hold you back from living. "when the azaleas bloom," he said / "when the flower blossoms spread / that's the day … / i'll love you" yeah. you can s4 jonmartin that. if you might then you may, there's no reason to live bound in chains / cause you're not alone, we're the daughters of sinners, we're the sons of saints. you could do fun character contrasts here. because there are so many characters who come from good or bad or complex places both in and out of the context of fears, enough that i am not listing them because it would be most of the cast. and many characters that hold themselves back from being happy because of all the horrors and guilt (though, no reason to live bound in chains could also be more sinister depending on context (like how helen discusses things in s5 especially)). so you got bad in your blood / brother, you're one of us. obviously there's not being alone in having a bad past, but it also brings to mind that moment in 185 where jon's like "you're one of us" to martin about being with the fears. blood don't mean nothing(/a thing) / in the end. this is gerry voice in 111. hi gerry you are one of the ones i thought about for the earlier line. gonna give this one 7/10!

counting sheep: are you sleeping, brother john? john like jonathan sims? he sure was sleeping (dreams) (coma). now this is interesting, and i think it might be the first where it works to twist the meaning a bit. you may think i've already done that but i feel like there's a difference between changing the literal things (making something about the fears instead of a metaphor or relationship etc) vs changing the emotions behind it, like if something in you's fast asleep / afraid to be who you will be / it's a losing battle, so why are you still fighting? is changed to, instead of being who you truly are, to becoming an avatar, then it becomes more negative. but it does very much work. this is what puts a character song on the hear me out cake to me (post i just reblogged if you need context). not the rating, but how much i'm willing to twist the the core of it to make that rating higher. this one may be on there for me. also the feign contentment for a while / that's all you know how to do lines feels early season martin to me. as well as the prentiss situation with morning comes a day too soon / you're back inside your tiny room / waiting for something, so good at doing nothing. the wool being off their eyes could relate more to learning about the fears maybe. or more like how it actually means in the song. even with tilting my head and having a beautiful mind there are parts that are harder to fit, but i like to think about it, so we're doing decimals now because. it does say jon. 5.5/10.

hole in the silver lining: ooo this one is interesting for tma. given the phrase refers to clouds, the themes could maybe lean more lonely with that, given the whole song is about pessimism. i might find nothing when i start looking / but i'll turn it over in my hands until / my fingers wear it through. the imagery here also puts me in mind of like, textiles, weaving, unravelling the wool of said cloud. so the visuals are quite web to me when i imagine them. given the web does tend to cause doubt, that's also fun. leave your doubt at the door / don't you take another step. there's lots of themes with doors. lots of themes with doubt. a quote from 139 about agnes came to mind so i looked for the episode where that was discussed and god. obsessed with jon's thoughts after the statement. "but I’m so full of doubt, it feels like there’s no room for anything else, and i'm sure martin is the same." "maybe… we’re the opposite of agnes. maybe our doubts are exactly what we need. if that’s the case, i’m an amazing chosen one." augh. so yeah. could work very well. love it. though given it's vague enough to work with quite a lot, it feels not quite specific enough for me to give higher than 8/10.

AUGH I loved the new fic :3 very good eating it up. Question for you: is this Helsknight the same as RnS Helsknight? Obv they’re different interpretations of the same origin, but are they separate from each other? Could they meet, even

I feel like every fic I write with Helsknight I end up with a slightly different interpretation of him, there's like 10 different variations of him living rent free in my brain at any given time. On that note, I do not feel like I could do RnS Helsknight justice, Skye's version of Helsknight is just a completely different beast than my own even if we occasionally run up against similar themes and ideas. Love that guy I'd love to put him in situations but I do not think I could write him correctly 🙏

I was actually thinking of Evildoers Helsknight as being much closer to LaHoF Helsknight, i wanted to play a little bit with the idea of broken code that I introduced in that fic, what it might be like if that problem had been worse for Hels, and that early days anger after the cloning machine, and a thing i never got to about the universe playing jokes on players, commiting to bits they speak into existence (hence the cloning machine functioning when Beef specifically built it not to and functing in ways that aligned with the /way/ it was used etc etc there was maybe gonna be a throwaway line cub says that was vaguely watcher reference-y). That isn't to say Evildoers Helsknight /is/ LaHoF Hels, I wrote him fairly differently there than I think I would've if I'd specifically set out to write him as I did in lahof. He's kind of halfway between lahof hels and a different version for a fic idea I've got floating around atm. Bc my ass can not resist writing helsknight fics apparently

But anyways the 'could they meet' question is so funny to me we should just put as many different alternate universe versions of helsknight in a room as possible and let them loose to see what happens. I think half of them would kill each other with the hour.

I unfortunately picked up Bravely Default 2 again (I bought it back when it released) and then started over since I last played it in June 2021. And. You know what. I like these silly beans. And then I saw concept art for Dag's expressions and I am not the same. Why did they decide to give him huge fangs in it.

(also I'm trying so hard to avoid spoilers less for plot but more for characters so if you know anything that happens to characters shhhhh. also the expression concept is below the read more so you can see what I mean.)

[cementcornfield]

The Duke and Zac pressers are good. I’m getting my hopes up again and I have to stop 😭😭😭

i thought so too!

definitely the most direct and explicit maybe we've ever heard from duke, he typically hedges much more in his answers (somewhat related! i found out recently that apparently back in 2020 people were FED UP with him because he refused to straight up say they were drafting joe lmao. for no reason!! they were the first pick! there was no need to have any kind of sneaky strategy lolll)

i liked that he outright said they're going to make ja'marr the highest paid non-qb. that they want and plan to get all the deals done AND improve the team in free agency (and no mention of the godforsaken pie this year lmao). i especially liked that he said he wanted to pay their "fantastic players" what they were worth (as opposed to earlier this month saying they can't have the highest paid player at every position 🙄) and that they didn't want to insult anyone! (a common complaint from ex-players and implied by trey in that PMS interview).

and yeah, obviously it's just talk, and you can say he's saying what he's supposed to be saying. but as i've been pointing out here, this man doesn't give a shit about saying what people want him to say, and never really has. that's like the bengals' whole (very frustrating!!) thing, they do what they want. and i'm not naive, i don't think they're doing this to placate the fans (at least not for the most part) but rather to placate some relationships with their players that they have definitely definitely damaged over the years. perhaps they're finally realizing that that's just an outright stupid way of doing business!

day 26

someday if i can figure out how the hell people get these things made i would like to do some little destiny & malice acrylic charms. i think those are so fun. and while i mostly want them for Myself i figure that if i DID figure out the process, i should maybe open up the option to anyone else that might want them, soooo...

informal poll: if i figure out how all that works, would any of y'all be into that, and approximately how many of you?
