“He betrayed your trust and you aren’t more upset?" Helsknight scoffs. "Pathetic.” Wels rolls his eyes. “It’s a death game, Helsknight, that’s kind of the whole point. I should’ve seen this coming, honestly.” “You’re naive.” “Iskall’s my friend. It’s not naive to trust him.” “He broke that trust!” “Well, yes, and I plan to get him back for that someday, but also: it’s a death game. We all agreed to it. I’m not mad at him for killing me, I just wish he’d been a bit more upfront about it.” If he’d been more obvious about trying to kill Wels, then maybe Wels wouldn’t be dead, also. But Iskall’s whole goal was to kill him, so he can understand the deception. “You’re infuriating.” Wels shrugs. He generally tries not to be, but in this instance, he finds that he doesn’t mind. “Maybe so. Look, can we finish this later? I need to go get my stuff back from Iskall, and your presence would probably freak him out.”

you know when you get to that point of dealing with intrusive/self deprecating/etc thoughts that you're just like. "yeah okay. consider: you're stupid and wrong. also: go away, i'm busy"? that should be wels and hels

i've been dying for a poll option ever since i saw my followers' answers to that text post from february 2022 asking people whether they pronounce beloved as "be-lov-ed" or "be-loved". many people were emphatic about only using one option, and many others use both but were not always able to articulate when they use 2 syllables vs. 3. so out of the goodness of my heart and my insatiable lust for knowledge i have gone through the notes on that post and written down some likely contenders! you're welcome!!!!

BEFORE YOU ANSWER! think about how you would pronounce beloved in the following syntactic contexts:

noun, talking directly to the beloved: hey there beloved

noun, talking about rather than to the beloved: my beloved lives in a pineapple under the sea

adjective in a noun phrase: my beloved x lives in a pineapple under the sea

verb participle: x is beloved by y

okay poll time! there are no wrong answers!! and apologies in advance if i didn't capture your truth, i only had 10 options and life is a rich tapestry!!

WAIT WAIT WAIT Yoshi saves TWO of his sons??? What happens to the other two??? Do they die????? (Thanks for answering my other ask btw! :) )

They are all alive! He managed to give two of them enough time to get away! Although, Donnie immediately ran off right back into danger.

The other two are doing just fine :)

Thank you for the asks!! It has been months since I've stopped to think about this crossover, but it is once again pinging around in here thanks to the interest XD

As you sit curled on your sofa, blanket over your lap and a good book in hand, a chill curls down your spine. It's late at night. Most of the lights on your street are out. Funny, you could have sworn that those streetlights were on a couple of minutes ago. You shake your head, dispelling all negative thoughts, and return your attention to your book. The clock's ticking starts to hammer itself into your inexplicably racing heartbeat. The chill curls down your back again, this time stronger. And... was that a knock at your front door? Ever so soft, but unmistakably a knock. More nervous now, you slowly put the book down on the coffee table in front of you, forgetting to place the bookmark in its abandoned pages. The blanket slides off you as slowly stand, and pad silently to the door. You take a deep breath, and decide to go for it. Anything could be out there. You open the door. No-one is there. You look all around, but no sign of life stirs anywhere. A chill floats down your arms, and you hug them to your sides. But... wait... what's that on the floor there? You bend down curiously, still keeping your eyes trained on the dark, lifeless street. It's a box of chocolates, and - a bunch of roses? As you look closer, you see that the words 'Happy Birthday' are engraved into the chocolate box lid with... what appears to be a sharp, sharp knife. The edges of each letter are suspiciously red, but the chocolates look delicious. You then inspect the red roses, or, now that you see them closer, the white roses painted red. They smell metallic and cloying, with only an underscent of natural rose. Nevertheless, they are beautiful. As you turn your back on the unlit street, you feel... something... watching you and whip your head around. Of course, nothing is there. You let out a deep, shaky breath and step inside, gifts in hand. You lock the door behind you, just to be safe. And on your coffee table, next to your half-drunk cold coffee and your discarded book, is a beautifully penned note that reads, 'Congratulations on 10k! Love from your friendly neighbourhood cryptid <3'

Honestly Rayla is equally 100% ride or die for Callum too.

That's so true I almost mentioned it in that post. They're so ridiculously feral for each other it's hilarious to watch. Callum's the legitimate "we ride AND die together" whereas Rayla is the "I will ride and die FOR you" sort of deal yknow?

Could be literally any situation, no matter how dangerous, and she's already decided she will die here. Does it ensure Callum lives? Then batter-up buckeroo we're going in swords blazing! Everyone cheer and clap for her human or she'll blow this whole place up. Kinda person who says "even if you hate me I'd still lose everything if it meant you were okay". She thinks they're in a tragic love story where she's always at risk of losing him but that's okay as long as it keeps him safe and happy like y'know Viren parallels, she'd risk losing her very self for him over and over. Except Callum would wait until the end of the world itself, and even beyond, and she wouldn't even have to ask.

The difference between them, really, is that Rayla will die for Callum on any given day. Callum will kill for Rayla on any given day. Something something matching sets

very funny seeing it time and time again, for every character and every arc they go through, when something big and angsty is teased everyone goes "oh once they're out of this they're SO losing their memories. they'll forget all the personal growth they've accomplished and everyone dear to them and it'll be angsty as FUCK 👍" and then they. don't.

[pyropxssy]

No you don't get it. You don't understand. You worship your heroes and your world renowned hunters who haven't shed blood in the name of freedom and you think you did something. You feel attached. You feel attached to a hollow husk of glorified angst that serves absolutely no purpose other than to be a vessel for privileged white cissies and heteros.

Tell me more about your Slugterra au/fanfic, I loved that show when I was younger

Haha same tho, been a fan for like 10 years which is crazy 😭 and still so in love with it (also have a wip)

Ok so quick run down cuz I already have some posts about Sarai already and there will be more to come.

So more below the cut.

Sarai is Eli's younger sister, born less than a year after him. She wasn't allowed to go down to Slugterra bc there can only be one Shane in the Realm at the time, and plus, the role of Shane had already been given to her brother. She'd only be allowed down if Eli went MIA. She didn't accept that.

So after a few months after Eli took the Drop, she followed after him. Her brother nonthewiser. Her mission? Find her father.

Although she isn't allowed to be Shane, she has another role to fulfill. Sarai is the Guardian of Slugs, able to access and use the magic of the slugs, this is a role she doesn't want and thus refuses to use her powers. Still, this is the reason why Shanai takes her under her wing and cares for her.

Shortly after, she would go find a job at Blakk Industries, after all.. Rumours say Dr. Thaddius Blakk was the last one to see Will Shane alive...
