#boom problem solved

[arthurfoxy]

how I deal with the time period inconsistency in Keeper:

I ignore it

[victorie552]

I headcannon that after 3rd Kinslaying, and especially after Elrond and Elros left them in whatever fashion, Maedhros was a total dick to Maglor.

You know how sometimes old or sick people are nice to neighbours/nurses/strangers, but are horrible to their primal caretakers? That's them.

People aren't dicks to their caretakers just to be dicks - it's because they are often frustrated with themselves or their situation and don't know how else to deal with it or they can't deal with it the usual way. It also happens because, paradoxally, they feel safe around their caretakers - you can be a dick because you know they won't leave just because of that.

And boy, did Maglor cast himself in a role of caretaker (let's not kid ourselves, he wasn't qualified, and with his own problems to boot), and BOY, did Maedhros resent him for it. He did not NEED help, he did not DESERVE help, he's not another kidnapped child MAGLOR, I'M the older brother, I should take care of YOU YOU WRECK, WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO BABYSIT YOU GROW UP ALREADY and leave me Nothing is EVER your fault, even when you left me to Angband as you should Why would you care now, it amounted to NOTHING before, it's WORTHLESS

And about half the time Maglor just takes it, actually likes it even. Mostly because of his guilt complex about how he deserves it, but also because Maedhros is only like this with him - he's trying his best to pretend to be fine and be a leader to few followers they have left, because they deserve better and that's the only thing he can give them now, and their brothers are all dead and would always be Too Little to act like that around them anyway. Maedhros would behave himself even around Fingon, to make him think rescuing him was worth something. So by being a dick to Maglor, Meadhros sees him as an equal, a safe haven. Maglor basks in that.

But obviously no one could just take such abuse like it's nothing, and Maglor is a Feanorian too, is prideful and stubborn, with his own laundry list of complains about Maedhros, and also unwell, and also thought of a new insult while lying awake at night and just wants to yell too. So half the time Maglor yells back and their yelling matches would bring orcs to tears, with hate and blame dripping from every word. I don't have enough imagination to picture it realistically, and actually I don't want to, it's too heartbreaking.

And sometimes, one or the other just starts crying. They don't talk about these times.

After some time, their arguments and insults are just a noise, something to repeat endlessly to the point of boredom.

By then, what actually hurts are the words that were not meant to harm.

Example 1:

Maedhros: 'did an all-night inspection of their stores cause he couldn't sleep' I found a herb you always liked to wash your hair with.

Maglor: 'doesn't remember last time he washed his hair, no less scented them'

Maglor: 'choked up' Appreciated.

Example 2:

Maedhros: 'feels like he's dragging Maglor to damnation with him' You could go with the twins, you know.

Maglor: 'doesn't want to upset Maedhros today so decides to pretend as if that was actually an option' Vanyar would probably like my singing but you know they would get mad at you for having better battle plans than them.

Maedhros: 'now KNOWS he's dragging Maglor to damnation with him'

Maedhros: 'dying inside' Of course they would.

When love hurts, it's easier to be a dick.

How funny would it be.

If instead of JD leaving he’s just like WE ARE GOING HIKING and throws premade camping bags at each of the brothers and he makes them all go hiking together (he wasn’t going to include Branch cause Branch doesn’t have issues with anyone and he’s a baby but Rosiepuff was all like haha no he’s going with to keep the peace) and instead of radio silence for 20 years, Branch’s abandonments issues and John Dory thinking everyone is dead for years, we force them to take a walk for their mental health and get some fresh air and fresh perspective.

yknow what i just realized

So yall know how my Narry and AU is from like, after the Skip button ending right?

So, he has long hair cause well, he's been there for years but one thing I realized is

WHY DIDNT I GIVE HIM FACIAL HAIR

HE WOULD HAVE A WHOLE ASS SANTA CLAUSE LOOK GOING ON WOULDN'T HE??

HE'S SUPPOSED TO HAVE FULLY GROWN OUT AND MESSY HAIR BUT, FOR SOME REASON I FORGOT TO GIVE HIM FACIAL HAIR FOR WHATEVER REASON

[sad-emo-dip-dye]

Dazai you idiot, you utter buffoon, you literally could have just reached up and grabbed his wrist

My cat Austen is an irreverent and greedy little bugger but also a huge scaredy-cat, which lead to the situation where I just stopped him from eating my cheese by crinkling a Doritos bag at him

[willbyersabyss]

I need them to recast Will for s5 like I don’t want that man anywhere near my son

My biggest critique abt the Gerudo lore and designs in botw that no one asked for and I will give anyway:

1. How the Fuck are you supposed to walk in the sand with heels

2. The fact so many Gerudo women travel to find a man when they could date each other is a missed opportunity

He

That feels like such a bad way to eat that??? I can't wait for him to unhinge his jaw like a snake and swallow it whole personally, but I guess he'd rather crunch.

Actually, considering Sieten't has been in the boundary where time is Certifiably Weird and he probably hasn't been eating, do you think the flavor overload of a piece of chocolate would be enough to make his head explode?

I’ve seen people in the notes going, “well how else were they supposed to defeat the pig?” - and like obviously the answer is the power of friendship but regardless - my thing is less “why did they cement the pig?” and more “why didn’t they cement more things?”

In retrospect, it’s pretty funny that the two things in the Magnus Archives that the ‘encase it in cement’ strategy were used against were:

an immortal supernatural entity trying to spread a deadly plague to bring about the apocalypse, and

a very large pig

oh fuck me (just realised i need a source of light but in my world there is neither wax nor oils or anything and wood is incredibly rare and a resource that won't be wasted on being burnt. what the fuck do i do)

You know, Gladys, there is an easy solution to the nonproblem of Sasha getting "distracted" by Cody that doesn't involve kicking him out of a public pool:

Have her seated with her back to him.

Okay having Many Thoughts (tm) but I think while its easy for all of us to kinda make fun of the scene where Frak explains Oni and Lloyd just stands by while he calls them inherently evil and whatnot, for me it personally shows something else

I’d already had this thought since season 1 when they were at the Temple of the Dragon Cores, which is that Lloyd doesn’t go to any length to tell them much unless he has to/ that he even actively hides the stuff that could be seen as “bad”

My assumption why he does this? to avoid getting hurt, someone using it against him, or judging him for it.

Harumi did it, Garmadon did it, the Overlord too. My dude knows there is no way it would be safe to go about telling everyone (or just accidentally the wrong person) he’s the grandson of god and part dragon AND oni in a chaotically dangerous world as the merged lands.

(That and saying he’s part oni/ making them sound “not that bad” would have probably raised some alarm bells in, yk, the middle of a dragonian village.)

Plot twist: Instead of Leo and Casey both crushing on April and fighting over her, Leo gets a crush on Casey and has a bi-panic when he see both of his crushes.

I'm so very, very afraid. Cuz like, 2012 Donnie, I love ya man, but I don't think I can do that again (┳Д┳)

Sokka: you can’t just set all your problems on fire

Zuko: you’d be surprised how many things are flammable
