zhongli and neuvillette fighting over their reader 🤭🤭

scary dog privilege wherever you go, draconic courting gestures that would scare any regular person, they send each other deadly glares the moment you turn away,

stealing your clothes to just get a whiff of your scent, marking their territory all over your house - making it a battlefield basically, neuvillette (in my hc) is cooler and zhongli is warm so the cuddles are always so comfy ☺️😍,

they give you anything you want - you don't even have to lift a finger, they make you travel between the nations a lot though 😒 sooo clingyyy, extra gentle in their dragon forms as to not squish you, don't even get me started on the size difference 😍😍

just a little thought 🤭☺️

- 🐈‍⬛

Neuvi being colder is so real and canon. I see him as being colder + a lot more lithe, kinda lanky with smaller but sharper canines versus Zhongli who's warmer and a bit shorter then Neuvi + bulkier with bigger but not as sharp canines.

They've also got very different habits – Zhongli is very prideful not just of himself but his nation. He'll personally give your a tour and purposely drag it out as long as he can. Complimenting Liyue is basically complimenting him, checkmate Neuvi. Especially if he convinces you to try on some local Liyue fashion. Harmless and just a nice gift to anyone else but Neuvi sees it for what it is (since your wearing something from Liyue, technically wearing something of his. He loves his technicalities when it comes to staking a claim over you). Adds salt to the wound by touching you in totally innocent ways like to adjust you towards something he wants to show you or accidently brushing against you when he takes the bags of spoils he's practically drowning you in but really he's just making sure his scent sticks. He's just a sweet, nice gentleman with absolutely no ulterior motives trust.

Neuvillette does love Fontaine, but his habits are more about himself then the nation. He'll take you around if you ask or if the idea strikes him, but you'll probably stay around the making city area or the opera house specifically. He enjoys more personal time with just you and him then anything else. He values the immaterial to the material. Zhongli spoils you with gifts, but Neuvi tries to offer quality time irregardless of physical gifts (though he still gives them just not to the extent of Zhongli). He'll take you to see different operas if that's to your fancy, or leverage a bit of his authority to maybe see a few films since those seem to be hitting off in Fontaine recently. Bet that creaky old archon doesn't have those huh. He feels awkward if you want to watch a trial, but he'll reluctantly agree because. well. it's you. just don't wave or anything he's trying to work and he just Really wants to see you smile at him like that again and it makes him lose his train of thought. gets custom clothes designed by Chiori to replace your clothes from Liyue because they smell of Zhongli and it makes him sulky + he likes to match.

G-d forbid these two are in the same room as you because it's a war of attrition at that point. Constant accidental brush of the hand against your shoulder or elbow but it's just them trying to get rid of the others scent. they are side eyeing each other behind your back while being all smiles whenever your looking. If it's hot and you lean into Neuvi more he's practically GLOWING. not even smug he's just absolutely smitten and happy to be of service. immediately takes off his gloves and presses his hands to your face asking if your okay and if you want to go back with him. if it's cold out and you seek out Zhongli more hes smug as hell beneath the calm veneer. Offers you his coat and stay as physically close to you as he can under the pretense of being worried you'll catch a cold if he doesn't warm you up.

don't even get me started on your house either because you probably have tons of gifts from both of them accumulated everywhere. if Neuvi sees you use a tea set from Zhongli suddenly he had a fantastic gift idea he thought you'd like. he even got some tea included with it so why don't you let him make you some? Zhongli sees you using a goblet Neuvi gave you (totally a coincidence it's similar to his) and suddenly you have 27 square cups in your cabinets that you have no idea where they came from. if the goblet is mysteriously missing oh well. who knows :]

I saw your answer to the fanfiction anon about how the buddie fandom is all about isolating buck from everyone else until the only one that's left is eddie. And thinking back to most of the fanfics I've read, that is exactly what happens. Like the theory that if you isolate two roosters for long enough, at one point they are bound to mate. I believe one of the major reasons behind that is the fact that Buddie only works through the fandom lense but once you broaden your perspective though, you are left with a very ordinary relationship and everytime i see any post by a buddie fan, I have to really wonder if they have ever had friends because if you think that is romantic behaviour, then me and my best friend are practically soulmates bound through the ages (well, we are but not like that). which is probably why it's so hard for the GA - particularly people who are not used to how fandom sees things, to care about buddie. because believe it or not, most people have an eddie in their life. actually most people have someone better than eddie in their life but that is a discussion for another day. raising a kid? my mother's best friend has half raised me even though i have a full set of parents, to the extent that she is still the only one whose approval i need for academic decisions. doing chores? i used to do my best friend's dishes every week because she hated doing them. people thinking they are together? our professor in college genuinely thought we were together and this is back when homosexuality was illegal in my country. shipping is fun, it's cool to find meaning where there might be none. it is death of the author at its finest. but that doesn't mean that you get to burn the book and posit that your version is the only version that's real. be a fan, don't be a white colonizer.

Couldn't agree more, Nonnie!

It sounds bad, and it is not my intention to be mean, but it does feel like a lot of them either lack a deep friendship in their irl life, or they choose not to see the similarities. I spent hours on end next to one of my best friends, helping her with her enrollment in her Master's because it was confusing her. A friend called me when she had something bad happening to her because she felt like I could be the one giving her comfort. One of my best friends had his Dad go through a very bad health crisis, and I spent days by his side so he wouldn't be alone. And, newsflash, I'm not in love with any of them.

When it comes down to it, I think this is why I can't bring myself to ship Buddie anymore, not even in a casual way. It is what stopped me from shipping them that much initially (Tommy coming into our screens was just the nail in the coffin) - I'd read a fanfic, and then go and rewatch the series, and I would realise just 1. how different both things were (yet how it was almost an unsaid rule that fanon was the actual canon) and 2. That Buddie just wasn't there in the way that was pushed in the fandom. All the moments of jealousy they claimed happened? Didn't happen. Buck spending all of his free time with the Diaz boys? Didn't happen. Buck and Eddie being co-dependent to the point everyone teased them about it? Didn't happen.

Their friendship, even? Not even half as good or deep as the fanfics write it to be. But that's a whole other rant lol.

My point is, it's fine to have a world created in fanon. My OTP isn't canon, all of my works exist solely in fanon. And it's fine! But a line is crossed whenever they try to force fanon into canon, and harass everyone who refuses to do that.

Also - I really don't like how they make Buck this defenseless man-child that needs Eddie to fight his battles because everyone is so mean to him, and only Eddie can save him. Bffr. Buck lived on his own for years, was a nomad for years. He's been shown to have a temper if pushed and poked enough. His sunny outer persona distracts people from it, but honestly? Buck can fight his own battles perfectly fine on his own (and has, in fact, done exactly that for the entirety of the show).

Hey hey, you know how Sydney has a past with Harper? So, I was reading your "Sydney has a darker side" post and I just felt the need to mention, the only ways of leaving the asylum are with 0 awareness (you're innocent. It substitutes your trauma. You're flattered so many people want to spend time with you) or with 0 trauma. I guess Sydney probably has 0 awareness rather than trauma, judging by the way he acts.

Anyways, by doing the temple quest line, you're pretty much let in that only a particularly innocent individual can protect the temple, similarly to how low awareness makes it pretty much impossible that you'll find a tentacle in your game, that's what this individual does for the whole temple.

So, about Sydney being really malleable, I guess it would be fair to say that he was (maybe even unnecessarily) sent to Harper, got his awareness to 0 and now he's clinging desperately to the temple and it's beliefs, for it is the only reality he has left.

The fact that he has phrases like "the temple is all he's ever known" and even while pure panics at the sheer prospect of having even loving feelings for someone, you can say that the Sydney that's the closest to whom he was before being brainwashed is probably mid-corruption Sydney.

Therefore, the act of corrupting Sydney is really saving him from being turned into a shield in the temple. This is specially sad when you consider that his other parent once occupied a similar position. Maybe it's been happening for a couple of generations?

So, it's a matter of choice to the player, in the end. Do you free the mind of this innocent individual, at the cost of the safety of the whole temple? Even a temple with a dark past and a dark present?

Think about Sydney as your typical "prophecy child", protecting the town with his sheer purity.

Then think of the player character as more of an Anakin take on the "prophecy child", specially with them being the Elk's offspring; not so much on either side, but a force to end the stalemate the faith finds itself on.

Wowee!

Sure, one can say I know how Sydney has history with Harper.

Ain't there just lots to uncover. I will try my best to address everything, but no promises!

Forgive me for paraphrasing and shortening, but the major points that you listed out were:

The Temple's shield is an individual with low awareness.

Sydney's low awareness is wanted by the Temple.

Sydney's awareness was lowered to "Innocence" by Harper.

Harper's treatment for Sydney was the Temple's wishes.

Corrupting Sydney is an act of "saving", "freeing" them.

Let's tackle everything individually cause I tend to go on a tangent!

Continuing under the cut <3

1. The Temple's shield is an individual with low awareness.

This is false. I think the Temple's concept of Innocence is different from that of the game mechanic.

You are right that Innocence is achieved through decreasing the PC's awareness to lower than 0. However, this would make no sense if the likes of Jordan's awareness is that low.

Jordan's flock and Jordan themselves is capable of perceiving and injuring Aurigan Monstrosities™️. As such, their awareness cannot be low.

Knowing as much as Jordan do, it is impossible for them to be so low in awareness as an Innocent PC.

I cannot say for certain what the Bishop meant when they say "innocence".

However, my assumption that it has something to do with the ideal that "belief is power."

If you have played the Hopeless Cycle event sequence from the most recent update, this is a motif and theme that has popped up pretty frequently, from the collection of the painting to the story that was told.

Belief is power. Something is only as powerful as you believe it is.

This leads me to believe the Innocence that the Bishop speaks of refers to the unwavering faith Jordan has in the order and the religion. Jordan believes in their power, so they are powerful.

The Bishop themselves said how powerful Belief is!

Jordan is left unaware and sheltered from the "dirtier" doings of the Temple because it could make their faith waver. Because without that strong wall of faith, they won't remain standing.

That's how I interpret it at least!

It would make sense when you apply it to Sydney, the potential successor to Jordan, too!

Sydney's faith in the Temple is strong and steady, even when corrupted. They have doubts, they act rebellious but never once did they try to leave the Temple or stopped believing.

Which leads me to my next point!

2. The Temple wants Sydney's awareness to remain low.

Seeing how Jordan has to deal with all the monstrous manifestations that require a good amount of awareness to perceive, I hardly think so!

In fact, the reason why Sydney is so fainthearted is because they were sheltered by Jordan, and the Bishop expressed gratitude if PC managed to aid Sydney in progressing in the Temple.

I am aware this refers more to their lack of willpower than awareness, but progressing in the Temple will naturally increases your awareness, being enlightened on all that's wrong with the world and trained to combat it.

So Jordan might want to shelter Sydney, perhaps out of love and care, but I wouldn't say the Temple as a whole wants to keep them unaware.

3. Sydney's awareness was lowered to "Innocence" by Harper.

I cannot comment on this! We do not know enough about Harper's treatment for Sydney.

... Not that it means we know nothing

The last part especially intrigues me, it's oddly similar to the Innocence mechanic does it not? You gain zero trauma during the Innocence status, but the moment you get out of it, all of the trauma you gained is dumped on you all at once. Quite fascinating!

Now you read all of that and come to your conclusions, I shan't comment further!

4. Harper's treatment for Sydney was the Temple's wishes.

I do not know if the Temple was involved in the choosing of Dr. Harper for Sydney! All I know is that Sirris seeked out a psychiastrist for Sydney and followed their instructions.

The Temple could have recommended Harper to Sirris, but I am reluctant to conclude so, seeing as Harper is a member of the Children of Auriga.

If anything, I am more to inclined to believe that Sirris' connections/coworkers, likely Auriga worshippers, at the Compound directed them to Harper.

Other than that, I have no idea! We have no information on how the Temple feels about Sydney's reaction to their other parent's disappearance. We don't know how they reacted to Sydney's treatment either.

They did aid in raising Sydney though! And there doesn't seem to be any visible animosity that they have towards Sirris, so who knows?

5. Corrupting Sydney is saving them.

Where do I start?

Short answer, are you sure?

Long answer, it depends on how you are viewing it.

First things first, the Bishop is fine with Sydney not being the next High Priest(ess).

So it's not like the Temple will fall apart without Sydney, they're not that important. The Bishop is perfectly fine with Sydney being corrupted. For what reasons I cannot tell.

One way or another, Sydney being corrupted isn't as big of a deal that you might have made it out to be.

Sure, their unmoving faith in the Temple is essential but from the way the Pale Yellow One put it, I will not be surprised if it is possible to force them back to obedience.

And again, they do not stop believing in the faith even after their corruption! So if my theory was correct, it shouldn't matter that much.

Moving forward, I disagree with the notion that corrupted Sydney, at any stages in their corruption, is "true" or "most like themselves pre-brainwash".

Corrupt Sydney is unique to only after meeting PC, because only PC have managed to make them succumb to lust.

In fact, I doubt Sydney even know who they are for there to even be a "true" Sydney.

I have many things to say about what PC's salvation means for Sydney.

For sure, corrupting Sydney opens up their eyes to lewdity, introduce them to "freedom" or however you interpret it and get them to let loose and just live life for once. Perhaps one can even see it as enlightening them for their own sake, letting them know just how fucked it is out there and how corrupt the Temple can be (to a small extent). But at the same time, they ruined Sydney's future, damaged their reputation at the Temple, and let's be honest, is that really Sydney or just who you shaped them into.

How do you know that is who Sydney actually is and not a mold they mended, nay, YOU mended for them to lie into and be reshaped?

On the other hand, keeping Sydney pure is going to ensure them a future, their support system still stable and their relationship approved by everyone around them. With the price of Sydney actively participating in a toxic and harmful mindset, staying ignorant and essentially playing puppet under the hands of the temple. But ignorance might just be bliss.

In the end, I think it is pointless to try and figure out what is better for Sydney. The entire point of Sydney's character is that they are what others shape them to be, and they do what is decided for them.

PERSONALLY, I feel like a "true" Sydney is something not for us to decide, but for Sydney to discover on their own.

As for me, everything about Sydney is true, and real, and Sydney. Me from a few months ago at 3 am worded it not the best but the sentiment is there!

That's what my takes on this! Thank you for the question!

Obi-Wan had taken it upon himself to care for the boy.  He was the one who made it a priority to pick up Anakin from middle school when Qui-Gon was working late. He was the one who enrolled Anakin in extracurriculars and made sure Anakin attended them. He was the one who made sure the boy had one serving of vegetables each day so that he’d grow.   And, oh, how he’d grown. Maybe this was his reward.

something I find interesting about tennant is that he pursued his wife, georgia, when she was very young. I think she was 21 and he was 36. she'd had a bit part on dr who and we was at the height of his fame.

now I know we're supposed to pretend this is actually a totally acceptable age gap for a hetero couple and saying otherwise is "infantlising" but what gets me is that they are clearly aware of how dodgy it looked because for YEARS they both told this story about how she was the one to chase him down and how he was so respectful and gentlemanly. he just considered them to be going on friendly trips to see shakespeare and he never even considered her a potential partner until she made a move on him!! and ohhh it took him so long to figure out that she was into him like that!

and then after years of this her dad, the actor peter davison, was just like "lol that's bullshit he was the one chasing her from the start" lmao

Lmao I did not know this 😂 I knew about the weird age gap relationship, and I’m sure I’ve heard that whole story of “DT is such an innocent wholesome cutie! The Nigeliest of Nigels, the Supreme Jakey” but have since forgotten about it.

I am absolutely not surprised that he was the one who started it. And yeah, sure, they’re both adults and all. But I think it’s fair to look at the amount of male celebrities with these younger wives and be a little suspicious. Especially if they have to create a whole cover story to make themselves look less creepy lol.

A rip in the space-time continuum lands NBC Ted right in the middle of AFC Richmond, and he's stuck there until they can figure out how to send him back. Which is fine by him because he LOVES England, and while he misses his Beard, he gets along great with this other Beard. (NBC Ted was never married/no kids.) And Ted thinks it's neat, if strange. Except that NBC Ted clearly has a crush on Trent. And they start spending time together. Ted isn't jealous. He isn't. Nope. [1/2]

HEY ANON???? OWIE 🥺🥺

god can you imagine Trent's POV through all this.. is he actually into NBC Ted or is it just a fling because it's not like his version of Ted actually likes him, right? he can indulge in this for now, it's not like this version of Ted would stay forever. got to make the most of it while he can and all that. two of the most clueless people in richmond, honestly 😔

I wonder if you might do anything with Colin Wilkes and Zyx.

Colin Wilkes was a redhead orphan abducted by the Scarecrow and rescued by Batman. Colin was injected with venom and inhaled fear gas and became disoriented and attacked his hero, Batman. Colin later discovered that the chemical reaction of the venom and fear toxin allowed his body to change at will, and he was inspired to become the vigilante Abuse, watching over street kids and orphans like himself. After several team-ups, he became best friends with Damian Wayne. He donned a trench coat and a hat and ordered custom-made brass knuckle dusters that carried his new name: Abuse. He is from Detective Comics Vol 1 847 October 2008. And later showed up in Batman: Streets of Gotham Vol 1 1, Batman: Streets of Gotham Vol 1 2, Batman: Streets of Gotham Vol 1 7, Batman: Streets of Gotham Vol 1 10, Batman: Streets of Gotham Vol 1 11, Batman: Streets of Gotham Vol 1 12, Detective Comics Vol 1 847, and Detective Comics Vol 1 848

Zyx from the Legion of Superheroes cartoon: child's play: season 1 episode 7 and trails: season 2 episode 10, Also, child's play showed his magic has a timelimit so he isn't too overpowered. And he has a redemption in trials. Zyx is a Zeroxian red-haired kid with red irises/pupils, while the part that is usually white is instead is yellow. Plus, he had some cute scenes, at least in my opinion. Also, i think he looks best without the helmet. Anyways, while he is a bit of a brat with villianish tendencies, he does have a good heart, and after his redemption, he has an appreciation for life (especially animals. I could see him trying to adopt a bunch of pets similar to Damian Wayne.) Although he definitely seems playful and easily bored, he might have ADHD. He seems to have some issues, like he seems a little sadistic, yet he also has a heart of gold. I think Zyx would get along great with Jon Kent. Sorry for ranting. Side note this show deserves more attention as a whole.

I think they both need more fan art and are adorable little heroes.

The fun thing with being in the comic book fandom is that you have a never ending roster of characters to choose from, so you won't ever run out of new dynamics because of it. Like, I'm vaguely aware of these two, but I would never have thought to put them in the same room together until just now! Even though I'm now straying from super heroes and most fandoms for a bit to focus more on my own works in the future, I still enjoy dipping into new ideas from time to time! This is simply one of them. (Though note that I primarily focus on the Supersons and the Bat Brothers when it comes to DC. They're just my preference.) ^v^ -Bubbly💙

(P.S. I dunno why, but Zyx shrunk.)

Anon from that ask. I have more ideas if you want to hear about them.

- Reader being Mr. Inference apprentice is interesting. Maybe they deal with forensic and science stuff, like the exact opposite of Gatto. They get into all sorts of situations(tm) and often helps Mr. Inference in the complicated science stuff in order to help him solve cases. However...it seems like they also caught the eye of DM and his allies. What will happen to reader now as they face all of these mysterious cases with Mr. Inference and Lady Truth?

- T&I Norton taking reader to a date to some expensive restaurant but masks it as an investigation. 'I thought this was for work?' 'This is for work. Another glass, darling?'

- Last sentence...Norton pulling the same shit of taking a bullet in his Truth and Inference music video and surviving but for Reader. Maybe in front of people he winks at them and pulls out a line of 'Told ya I'd see you even if it kills me' but in private he just hugs them really tightly and whispers how he's glad nothing happened and that they're alive and unharmed.

Do you see how much this universe has a death grip on me. Do you see-

Yes, I can certainly see... Nodding, nodding.

Unfortunately, I still don't know any T&I lore, but it sounds fun! I suppose I'll have to have someone more knowledgeable about it explain it to me at some point...

Norton sounds fun in it at least, or at least the lone wolf one, I'm not so sure about the other one.
