[unicornsaures]

johnny and dallas fighting with tim and dallas in my head rn and neither are winning so im flipping back and forth between reblogging the two like a madman

[sparring-spirals]

would love to know your thoughts on the whole laudna and imogen scene sparring

oh boy.

assuming you mean the apology and ring scene, just as a uhhhhh, broader recap:

- goddamn, these two care about each other so much.

- (you ever have a relationship in your life- platonic or otherwise- where you get used to someone at your side? where they grow into your life and routine and creep into the corners of your life, and its lovely, because things are easy and safe and good with them?)

- (and then- however briefly, for whatever reason, losing that. like a structural pillar being yanked away. like missing a step going down the stairs. and even after you reorient, feeling the absence like a lost tooth, reaching out and finding empty air.)

- ......so the synchronised hi, and the synchronised sigh of relief, from both of them, at the start of the conversation. the way it set the tone for everything else. even before the actual apologies, they could tell they were on the same page and the way a weight lifted off of both their shoulders. "im sorry-" "no, i'm sorry-"

- and the actual apologies! Imogen, apologizing for her reaction, saying she knows Laudna didn't mean it, saying how terrifying it would have been to have been to have Delilah in her mind. Laudna apologizing. because the fight had started from something, and clearing those things felt important to both of them.

- and the gifts. Imogen panic buying an apology 65gp ring for Laudna remains incredibly funny to me in the sweetest way, in the same way Laudna crying in Ashton is sort of sweetly funny and terrible. They care about each other so much, and it broke in their hands and its like- fuck, oh god, oh shit.

and suddenly there's a totholder. and a ring. #relatable

- two snakes twined together with a ruby in the middle. "it's kind of like us" "- a rock coming between us- but ITS NOT GONNA-" "no more rocks! ...between us, at least. There are more rocks." 🥺

- "it's felt so weird with this thing going on and we can't talk to each other about it-"

- because holy shit it was a long few days for them! and Dusk asked Laudna out!!!!(????) and an outfit change and dreams and- there's so much, and things they wanted to share with each other but they couldn't-

but they're doing it now, dammit!

- and like. look. there's still a lot to unravel for them, there's still layers of thoughts and separate flaws and foibles. And still definitely some less-than-ideal tendencies in how they view each other and lean on each other and- its not perfect. This is not a "The End" titlecard at the end of a movie. (and I am thrilled by that, alright).

- But the real big thing for this convo was about apologizing, and then reassuring the other person- we're in this together. we're in this together. this is everything that happened the last few days because i wanted to work it out with you, specifically. nothing will come between us. there are things to battle but we're gonna fight them together, yeah?

its us two. its us two. im here for you.

- and i just. they really love each other. its so good. im so happy about it.

Song of the Day: April 15

"Something in the Way She Moves" by James Taylor

[grimm-the-tiger]

I came to the realization last night that the Sarkics could - and probably have - canonically pulled off mpreg. So I did the obvious and started writing a whole-ass fic about it, and the worst part is that it doesn’t even suck. 

[rainbowresurrection]

I ended up reading The Price of the Phoenix and while it didn't make me want to bleach my eyes like Killing Time, I still didn't like it as much as I hoped I would. Don't get me wrong, the homoeroticism was intriguing to me, but the actual writing and storyline itself left me with a headache. I think I get my hopes up with these books, given all of the possibilities that the written word has for Trek, and it inevitably sets me up for disappointment lol

Sometimes I think of Chicken Little from the movie Chicken Little and cry bc he's just a kid and he's all alone and his dad is ashamed of him and he lost his mother and he gets bullied and harassed bc he's small and kind of strange and he's the only person in the world that knows that the sky is falling and when he tries to tell people they don't believe him

FAIRYTALES. 

BRIAR VALLEY is no stranger to  rich  history,  the most common form of tales being  recorded  first through memory  –  then scroll,    more  recently,  by book.  the lack of electricity left them with a  verbal history  preceding written,   leaving  long  gaps  that can only be filled by speaking to the eldest in the village.   among these folktales,   most revolve around  high fantasy  –  telling tales of fae - knights  &  royalty from briar valley. a common past - time that  these tales be shared to the  rare  young inhabitants of the village.   in youth,  these stories inspired sebek and his siblings to play using  wooden swords & shields,   pretending that they were members of the guard.   recalling of his grandfather’s time serving the draconia’s only further fueled the fantasy for the zigvolt siblings  &  inspired sebek to make it his goal,  latching onto his  strong - willed grandfather at a small age. 

TRADITIONS. 

the connection between  his  own family  &   the draconia family comes from a long lineage of servitude to the royal family.   each before him held the title of  retainer,   his grandfather being the last  to retire  from this position.     the long - lasting line of service had come to a  stop  when sebek’s mother broke tradition  &  married a human  –  who could not be deemed fit to stand as a knight without a  hint  of magic at his disposal.  sebek’s  father’s  profession was one of the first disappointments that he saw in him;   despite still maintaining a careful care of his own teeth as a cause of his father’s upbringing. 

in accordance with tradition,  there has  yet  to be a retainer to the draconia family who is  not  a full - blooded fae just like the rest of the royal family.  as much as sebek belittles  &  berates himself for being born half - human,  he still is motivated to be someone reliable to his young master despite his faults.   because of his late start to magic,   his skills are subpar  –  but what he lacks in magical control,   he is sure to make up for in combat talent  &  brute strength.   his reasoning for  not giving up  on becoming a knight  –  in despite the odds being stacked against him,  in a town where he is not looked upon as someone  capable  of being strong  –   unlike  a mage or a warlock,   swordsmanship  &  hand - to - hand combat are the first brought to mind where a knight is concerned.  of all the  fairytale ‘tropes’  mentioned in the stories he was read as a child  –  no  knight  is praised for relying on their  magical technique,   but instead how well they can  protect those they care about. 

SIBLINGS.

his relationship with his own siblings was always  alright  at best,   not  truly broken until they got to the age where competition between each of them was at large.   sebek’s own determination to earn a position as a retainer to the draconia family caused him to become  less  kind towards his own siblings,   treating them more like rivals than his own family.   his obsession with becoming  better  than them is what eventually caused them to see each other in a negative light.   because of this,  while he may speak fondly on his childhood stories,  he would not go so far as to say that he misses them.

[muzzlemouths]

Psst. Just wanted to let you know that you're cool and I hope you have a really nice day today! You seem to be Goin Through It™ and I just wanted to let you know that we (your followers) like you no matter the quantity of stuff you're able to make at any given time (though we most certainly do like what you make, but that's not why most of us stay, I believe); you're very funny and have insightful opinions about writing, and you're always super nice when I stop by to say hi! Please remember to be kind to your mind and heart this upcoming Spring. I hope The Delights come into your life in leaps and bounds, and that you'll receive good news soon!!! <33

hot friendship tips: randomly meet someone who has the same reference pool of internet culture and media as you on tumblr and then live together for ten years so you've inflicted everything you care about on each other so they always know exactly what you're talking about even when you're completely incoherently trying to describe something you only half remember and sound insane

i really like joker, i don’t say that enough.

[muirneach]

well i dont see mash as a timeloop because it fundamentally just. is not one. BUT also i think the whole ‘theres 11 seasons and only 3 years of war’ thing is stupid as hell. one season does not necessarily one year. some episodes take place over a few hours, usually they take place over a few days, one episode takes place over a year, sometimes they skip some time in an episode. its never ending and repetitive in the sense that they do the same thing every day but time also does pass. also it’s never ending in the sense that they will never truly leave because it will impact the rest of their lives profoundly (which i think is more interesting to explore anyways). anyways even if every mash episode was one day that would only be 251 days which isnt even a whole year. so that line of reasoning is sooo annoying. people complain about the 11 seasons thing too much. like did you want them to hit s3 and throw up their hands and be like well i guess we wont do that anymore! no its a great show and people wanted more seasons obviously
