#delusion for the win

[etheries1015]

He finds you falling apart; in complete shambles, a sobbing mess.

Malleus

He isn't certain how to handle such strong emotions, he doesn't know what to do when he finds you sobbing in the garden. As the tears fall down your cheeks and you mutter apologies to the fae, All he can do is sit next to you and kindly offer his shoulder and words of comfort, waiting for you to calm down so he may ask what is causing your soul such misery.

He hopes you will communicate what it is he could do to assist you. If a hug is what you need, he shall provide. If silence is what you wish for, he will grant it as such. If you are in dire need of a distraction, he knows a place you will adore while he speaks about its history. He is not the type to simply assume what will help in this situation- he will awkwardly hover until you guide him to the best possible course of action.

You must expect to find new trinkets and shiny objects to come your way for the next week- he wants to make it abundantly clear he wishes for you to smile once more, and he hopes to achieve that by his little gifts.

"My dearest, what causes these tears to flow so heavy from your eyes? Whatever it may be, I shall be by your side and face it with you, for you needn't suffer alone. Now tell me, who do I need to confront for stealing your precious smile away from me?"

Lilia

Lilia had known the ins and outs of emotions fairly well. He could easily read people- you were no exception. He understands immediately if you need a hug, to be left in peace, or to be endlessly pampered. Upon hearing your painful wails of sorrow, he was quick to react.

Any attemps at apologizing to him for your sobs were fallen upon deaf ears. You were quickly chastised for those "sorrys" and were engulfed in his embrace, his hand stroking your hair or rubbing circles on your back gently with a tune of old escaping his lips. He had used this method for his inconsolable children in the past, and he found it just as effective for adults as well.

Even thanking the fae for being there for you was also quickly shut down. He insists that you need not thank or apologize to him for your tears, for you were important to him thus it was a requirement he be there in your time of misery. You felt comfortable talking to him about your woes, the red eyed fae listening intently whilst brewing you tea, setting up video games, or cooking you a meal (you didn't have much of the energy to reject this offer, he was doing it purely out of concern for your being. Crying takes a lot of of someone, he must do his due diligence and be certain you are properly sustained!)

"Ah...it pains me to see such tears. Remember, time moves forward, and you shall prevail past this little bump in the road, my little bat. Would you like to talk to me about it? I give good advice, if I do say so myself! Or shall we change the pace and play some games? I am not moving from this spot until you are smiling and laughing again!"

Kisses, cuddles, and comfort <3

I feel like many people misunderstand us, the unhinged, insufferable people with OTPs so. Here's a quick guide into the mind of an rabid buddie shipper.

I'm not clinging to buddie because I fail to see how awesome Buck's bi growth is. I AM BI!!! You think I don't get how awesome this bi character, this story arc, this bi representation is? Get out. Don't tell me, a bisexual how I should watch and experience a bisexual character. I drive my own brain, thanks.

And I know that it's possible to multi-ship. You don't need to tell me that!!

People need to understand that multi-shipping isn't some grand, epic personality trait that always comes with maturity, that the people who don't multiship are just wee dumb babies.

I may sound like I'm 14. I am not. I am very much not. I'm OLD. So old. And guess what that means? I know myself!!! That's maturity, too. And who I am... Is someone who falls hard, and obsessively.

I know I am just not built to be a multi-shipper. I have tried, sometimes. I have tried so hard. And realised, that's just not me. Multi-shipping is never as fun, and interesting or rewarding to me as focusing on my One True Pair. It just makes me feel suffocated, to attempt to like something I don't really find much joy in.

That doesn't mean that I hate the actors or characters who are "getting in the way" of my ship. Nope. I actually often adore the characters and actors, and the writing. I can also see and appreciate what some other character means for my OTP's growth.

Like in this case... Lou, playing Tommy? Not only do I love his acting choices (so funny, so skilled) but he also, he sounds like a lovely guy. I'm a fan!! Also, damn he's fine, I need a bucket for my drool.

And Tommy, the character...? I think the character is interesting - and don't get me started on "problematic", the shaming is futile. I am all in for fucked up, problematic characters. If you don't get why, you should really read some literary classics. Fucked up, problematic characters are art, they make you think, they broaden world-views. My best educators have been the monsters, and I will take this stand to my grave.

Demand for "unproblematic" is demand for censure, and censure is just another form of oppression. Want characters without flaws? Go watch Teletubbies. Ffs, even moomins have flaws. (Of course they do, Tove Jansson was a freaking amazing writer.)

Anyway. The point here is.

I am a mono-shipper. And I love slowburns, I love the romance of them, I get attached to ships. And I'm queer.

But where are the queer slowburns? I have been waiting for a slow-burn queer romance for so long. I CRAVE IT. Getting that, truly, would be queer history, a revolution.

And I see the potential for it in buddie!! The spark, the history, the journey. It has the potential to be the greatest queer slow-burn I've ever experienced.

You think I'd just abandon a ship like that, a slowburn like that, for some fast food, cooked up in what... Two episodes? Pffft. I invest. I am waiting for my roast to cook.

So yeah. I'm not going anywhere. I will watch, and let my freak flag fly, and I will have the time of my life. If buddie never becomes canon? Well so what. I can deal. It's not my first rodeo. Disappointment isn't actually deathly, you know. Trying to avoid disappointment kills hope, and enthusiasm. So yeah, I refuse to manage my expectations. I'm all in, and enjoying this mad ride.

"Well, I'd still take you."

"You think so?"

"I KNOW."

Fun collaboration with @bookdragonwrites 🫵💀 you're a bad influence on me. Never mind, I think I'm a bad influence on you. Either way, we have fun together!

(Look for their version. They should definitely win our little competition)

he is babygirl to ME.........

forget pitting bg3 characters against dragon age characters

someone asks me my favorite show and i have to tell them it’s supernatural, much to my chagrin.

we get to talking and they find out that i have a near encyclopedic knowledge of it. i can recite the names of the episodes in the first six seasons from memory. i didn’t even try to learn that for the worlds lamest party trick. i’ve just seen them enough that it’s floating around in my noggin. i have the dialogue for entire scenes memorized. entire episodes, even. yet again, accidentally learned from repeated watchings. i know about the actors. i’ve met the actors. i know about the cast and crew. i know timelines and theories and why this went that way. i have characters and quotes (both from the show and fanfic) tattooed on my body. one of the things i’m best know for to an audience of 370k+ online is my passion surrounding this show and its characters. this hypothetical person says “you must be a real big fan.”

and i am. i love this stupid little show that’s objectively not very good with its silly little characters that i love so much it often keeps me up at night.

and you wanna know what always surprises the hypothetical person in these hypothetical conversations that are an amalgamation of real conversations i’ve had with real people the most? it’s not how much i know about the show or what it represented to me in my adolescence or even my love for the characters.

it’s the fact that i haven’t seen the last five seasons.

that i haven’t finished the show.

i started watching in 2013 and stopped in 2015. i didn’t pick it back up again in earnest until early 2022. i’ve been rewatching since then and despite watching it literally every single day, i’ve only made it to the end of season eight in my rewatch.

there’s always some form of indignation on the other party’s behalf. and they always ask me “why? if you love it so much, why not watch all of it?”

and the answer is simple.

because i don’t want to.

i know what happens. i was online nov 5th 2020. i know how it ends. and i don’t want it to end. i don’t like the ending. so i’m not gonna make myself watch something i know is just going to make me upset.

and does that mean i’m less of a fan?

spoiler alert: the answer is “no.”

despite what other people and fans alike like to say, it doesn’t make me less of a fan. just like watching the show in its entirety doesn’t make them more of a fan.

fandom allows for flexibility of enjoyment. and that’s what i’m in fandom to do.

enjoy.

to enjoy the same thing with people who enjoy the same thing as me. to share my joy with these people.

so no. you’re not less of a fan or more of a fan for consuming media a certain way.

if you enjoy something, you’re a fan.

and if you’re a fan, there’s a place in fandom for you.

Skk soulmatism to a new level. First phase was learning Asagiri considers them one soul in two bodies, second phase is Adam calling them something akin to perfection, fourth was realizing Chuuya is the only one who can possibly understand Dazai's plans, fourth phase is finding out CHUUYA WAS DESIGNED FOR DAZAI.

“You and I are destined to-” stay connected ever since our start as entangled design concepts, that's what it is folks ✌️

[citrusacidic]

stand out moments for me in the last eps. mostly the finale bc i loved it.

[plastic-pluto]

the writers really said “you know what? let’s unfind this family.” and that is exactly what they fucking did.

[zeb-z]

so uh. if commander cody thinks he’s responsible for his choices and actions during order 66. how is bly feeling right about now

[garbomode]

okay but the little x drawn on his face. like i'm sure it's not gonna be a thing in the show. but i had a vision of ed (or stede/ whoever) being like "you're missing something :)" and drawing it on for him & i literally can't stop thinking about it

captain jude wins it for england in the 2026 wc and everyone is super soft and fluffy maybe

jude bellingham - it's coming home ♡

The roar of the crowd fills the air like a deafening symphony as Jude, captain of the England team, leads the squad onto the pitch for the 2026 World Cup final against France.

It's a moment he's dreamed of since he was a young boy kicking a ball around the park, and now, with the weight of a nation on his shoulders, he's determined to make it count.

As the game kicks off, Jude can't help but feel a surge of pride as he looks around at his teammates, some of whom are experiencing their first taste of a major tournament final. A lot of the lads look up to him now and he knows they're counting on him to lead them to victory. He's determined not to let them down.

The match is intense, with both sides giving their absolute all in pursuit of the ultimate dream. Memories of their defeat to France in the 2022 tournament linger heavily in Jude's mind, but he pushes them aside, focusing on the task at hand. The past is no use to him now.

Mbappe puts France ahead towards the end of the first half with a lucky goal that slips between Pickford's legs with a deflection, leaving the tension in the stadium palpable.

But, as ever, he and the lads refuse to give up, and in the second half, Phil manages to find the back of the net with a brilliant strike, sending the crowd into a frenzy of excitement and invigorating the team to impossible levels as Jude scoops up the ball and they run back to the midway line to quickly restart the game.

When there's just five minutes left on the clock, Jude can feel the pressure mounting.

Not penalties, He can't help but think even after all this time. Anything but penalties.

The thought looms over him like a dark cloud, but then he sees his opportunity. Trent sends him a perfect through ball from the back, and Jude grasps the moment with desperate hands, weaving through the French defenders with determination.

He fires a shot from long range. And it should be too far. It really should be. He barely lands these in training.

But then all of a sudden Jude is hearing the unstoppable roar of the crowd, feeling Rashy grab onto him and Phil jump onto his back, watching as the ball swishes cleanly into the back of the net past the goalie's fingertips.

It's his legs that carry him to the fans. His mind is full of nothing but images of his mum and dad flashing by and all the time and hard work they dedicated to him, of his brother and his unwavering beliefs in his ability, and of the teammates he's had throughout the years that had made an impact on him.

Jude feels a smile crack onto his face.

It's broad and giddy and the complete opposite to how he'd usually celebrate, taciturn and serious, nodding sharply after a goal to say, 'Yeah, that's right. That's what I can do.' A habit leftover from his youth where Jude had felt like he constantly had to prove his maturity and earn his right to be on the pitch.

But he's done it now. Cemented himself into history.

Jude opens his arms up to the sea of blues and whites adorning the stands and allows himself to laugh freely as his teammates appear one by one to tackle him into the ground, gripping onto his shoulders, shouting and screaming in glee, and pressing their foreheads together.

Someone yells at Jude that they love him and Jude's grin hitches into his cheeks again as he places a kiss on the cheek of whoever's nearest, the chants of the crowd engulfing him, the pounding of the drums in tune with the beat of his heart.

It's coming home.

♡

I love thirteenrose as a concept (Canon Rose Tyler being sapphic, gay relationship they cant get away with erasing bc its ROSE FUCKING TYLER), but in practice i have a really hard time telling white women apart sometimes and it gets confusing

I'm 87% sure about Nolin endgame, here's why:

Guten Morgen, schönen Montag. Why are you all giving up?

Ja, Joel und Noah kommen jetzt wohl erstmal nicht mehr vor und ja, es wird deswegen auch unheimlich schwierig Noahs Story weiter auszubauen aber! Wir sind uns doch alle bewusst, dass 1062 alles andere als ein Ende für Noah und Colin darstellt, oder?

Theoretisch hätte uns das Schloss Einstein Team auch einfach nach 1056 im Regen stehen lassen. Colin ist weg, Noah hat geweint und gibt dann später zu, dass Colin nicht hätte gehen dürfen. (Es wäre ein echt mieses Ende gewesen aber als wären solche Enden nicht schon öfters in dieser Serie passiert.)

Das Gespräch mit Ava wäre eine zweite Möglichkeit für ein Ende gewesen. Wir bringen noch etwas mehr über Noahs Leben und seinen Hintergrund in Erfahrung und werden dann mit dem Satz stehen gelassen "Er [Colin] bedeutet mir viel."

Hier auch wieder; es wäre mehr als bei anderen Charakteren und deren Beziehungen.

Beide Instanzen wären (für Schloss Einstein Verhältnisse) gute Enden zu Noahs und Nolins Story gewesen. Klar hätten wir sie doof gefunden, aber seit wann macht Kika denn etwas, was wir wollen?

Sie hätten das ganze am Ende auch anders machen können. Noah ruft Colin an, Colin geht dranne, Abspann spielt. Hätten wir nicht gesehen, dass Noah auflegt bevor er etwas gesagt hat, wúrden wir jetzt wahrscheinlich alle vermuten, die beiden hätten geredet und könnten uns so selbst ein Ende ausmalen.

Aber! Das ist eben auch nicht passiert. Wir haben diese Bereitschaft von Noah, dass er Colin anrufen will. Wir wissen, er hat Colin was zu sagen. Und trotzdem macht er es nicht. Und warum? Weil er es noch nicht kann.

Das ist doch alles andere als ein Ende. Noah mag Colin und das wissen wir jetzt endlich. Noah ist bereit mit Colin zu reden und weiß nur noch nicht wie. Und das passt doch viel mehr zu seinem Charakter, als dass er sich jetzt bei dem ersten Telefonat direkt entschuldigt, oder?

Und jetzt wo Noah sich einigermaßen seinen Gefühlen bewusst ist, oder zumindest auf dem Weg dahin ist, wird er doch Colin nicht einfach weiter ignorieren und ihn jetzt nie wieder anrufen, weil Schloss Einstein entschlossen hat seine Story wäre jetzt an dieser Stelle vorbei. (zumindest hoffe ich das... schloss einstein team pls i'm defending you w my life don't disappoint me)

Maybe I'm alone w this but this is everything but the end.

so und jetzt erstmal schatzsuche kollegen!

the script writers are having a blast right now
