#forgive the way i worded this

[mercutiotakethewheel]

the thing about bookles is, right, that he’s built The Sun Summoner(tm) up in his brain as like this vague amorphous Eternal Companion(tm) of his whose going to solve all this problems and just generally be the saviour of his life. Which, yknow is some unhealthy idealization and romanticization doomed to go topside the minute he actually meets them and surprise surprise its an actual person, who is nowhere near on the same page as him. Yknow, the way it actually does.

But the thing is, while the show version of the Darkling sometimes leads us to believe he’s like planned every moment of their life post-discovery to the point where he’s had her pillow case embroidered with suns (and bookles has done this too idk). Which is again doomed to end in like three different kinds of disaster. But thing is Bookles really seems like he hasn’t bothered, or, more likely hasn’t let himself think about what the Sun Summoner means aside from these very, very vague impressions of “not aloneness” and yknow using them to expand the fold, kick off a coup detat, make them a puppet monarch, etc.

Because the thing is, while Show!sander oozes commitment and general besottedness from the first moment Alina’s revealed, Bookles seems like genuinely so upset and frustrated every time he catches himself genuinely caring about Alina. And like I have to laugh bc like Sirrrrr what did you think was going to happen? What do you think not alone means? Did you think you were about to meet some Sun Summoner and they were just going to be so dull and uninteresting that you couldn’t possibly give a shit about your supposed eternal companion who you planned to keep close for centuries??? And was that the preferable outcome for you??? Or did he, more likely, just not think about this (bc he cant (bc wanting is weak)).

Idk I just think it adds a whole new layer to Bookles and Show!sander’s characterizations. Bc like both of them make these series of stupid ass decisions that spend the rest of their lives fucking them in the ass. And both of these decisions are rooted in a desire for control and a refusal to see himself as anything fallible and others as anything but. But like idk it makes bookles seemed ever so flavoured in i invented being emotionally stunted.

which like we been knew but like jesus christ my dude.

I have something to say about boyf riends being queer platonic but the world isn’t ready

main takeaway from certain fan reactions to the finale is this:

the final scene with ankarna was so meaningful to the bad kids' arcs and how they made peace with being wronged by people they loved, and if all you can focus on is that the rat grinders didn't get much screentime, then you don't love dimension20 and you don't love this world: you want to be playing your own hs themed dnd campaign and you're mad the oc versions of the rat grinders you made up in your head acted ooc. these are not your characters and this is not their story.

god. I'm thinking of one-sided shockbee again

Love the idea of Shockwave being the one crushing on Bee first, maybe that little crush starts on boot camp. Bumblebee is always around him, trying to seem cool and great at everything, Shockwave thinks it's annoying at first, he can't wait for this mission to end and offline this annoying thing.

But then he gets used to Bumblebee. He actually listens and pays attention to every word that comes out of Bee's mouth, the minibot's grown into him, and he hates it. Bumblebee's annoying, immature, and a loudmouth, traits a bot who's trying to be part of Intel (and also hiding the fact they're a Decepticon) shouldn't find endearing. And yet, he has found himself more than once looking at Bumblebee and listening.

Bumblebee doesn't help the situation at all, he's making it worse. He'd go around holding Longarm's hand to drag him somewhere, or get too close during a simulation while trying to get cover and it makes Shockwave a mess, Bumblebee doesn't even try to keep his EM field to himself, it crashes into Shockwave's own when he gets close.

Toleration becomes something else, it starts making Shockwave go slowly insane about it, he's spending time with Bumblebee after he becomes head of Intel, buys gifts for him or other stuff Bumblebee has shown interest in. Bumblebee's probably aware of more than friendly feelings going on by now, but god they're probably both so stupid about it, no one confesses. ever.

Shockwave is infatuated with the minibot, he can't deny it, Bumblebee continues to plague his thoughts like a virus, he wants to crush him and put an end to all, he wants to hold him tight, wants to feel their spark fields interlace and beat like one, he wants to rip his spark out, it's a mess, and he dug himself deeper into it by indulging his feelings.

do you ever think about Garak waking up and seeing Julian in that chair, uncomfortably crammed in and slumped over asleep, and wonder how he must've felt when he realized Julian wasn't going to leave

shinichi will be like yeah I think killing someone is the most awful thing a person can do and I will never condone it. blackmailing? revenge porn? threatening your life? no still nothing excuses murder. but when a man tries to stab his pregnant wife because "she was being moody" and uses CHILDREN as his witnesses to make it seem like self defense then he's like well you didn't succeed :)) so it's fine go have your baby with her :))

one of the most crazy-making caleb/nott quotes has gotta be “I need him. I need him to live.”

because it sort of means she needs caleb to keep himself alive. and it sort of means that she needs caleb in order to stay alive, herself, because she relies on his magic.

as nott sees it, life’s not worth living unless he ‘saves’ her and transforms her back into Veth. but she also needs him because she loves him, even this early in the campaign.

As someone who is plural we cannot wait to see your character who's plural! Do you have any idea when you'd put them in a game or show them off in any art?

I can't give a estimation of when exactly they'll appear in a game, but I remembered I did a watercolor piece of them I used to really like so I went digging for it(its a little old)!!

This (the host) Elowen! Her and her alters are a fox!

I specify that this specific picture is Elowen because depending on who is fronting, their hair is usually worn in different ways. Their system is composed of Elowen(she/her), Felicity(she/her) and Gertrude(she/they). Elowen tends to wear her hair in a ponytail, Felicity wears the hair down, and Gertrude wears their hair in low pigtails. Together they run a supply store for magical items!!

zero context WIP tag game

If you’re tagged, make a new post and share 1-2 (a few) sentences from your most recent unposted WIP(s) with zero context – Let your followers guess!

I have a WIP! I have something to share here! Ahhhh!!! Let's see, from a couple of places:

A sound pierced the chaos with peculiar clarity. A sigh from Astarion—a gasp. Small, sudden. Afraid. The dizzying whirl receded. She found stone at last, pushed herself up—what she thought was up—and froze. Sarevok had one hand clamped over Astarion’s face, his white hair caught in the riveted joins of the massive gauntlet. Astarion had seized Sarevok’s wrist in both hands, futile struggle against the inexorable lift into the air, against the sudden thrust of Sarevok’s sword-arm— Three feet of bloodied steel burst through Astarion’s lower back.

and

Her tadpole lurched. Her own rage swept through her, fiery and impotent—then a white surge of terror from Astarion flung itself back in indiscriminate answer. Karlach swore, startled. A face thrust itself into her mind: black hair, burning red eyes, skin stretched over the cheekbones like a hide drum. It smiled with teeth like knives and Astarion made a noise of blind animal fear. The noise a child made before it was struck; the noise the dog had made in Rivington behind the kennel fence. “No!” Tav almost shouted, and Jaheira’s panther head lifted in alarm. “He’s not here. Astarion, listen to me. He’s not here, I swear it. It’s just me. I’m right here with you.”

and

Tav ran her fingers carefully through his hair, rearranging a few curls to lie more neatly alongside their fellows. Without opening his eyes, Astarion gave a tired, throaty hum. “Your hair is so lovely I can’t stand it,” she murmured, threading her fingers through strands like cornsilk. “I’m going to pray tonight for Sune to take it back. Snatch it all right off your head.” “She never noticed me before,” Astarion managed, the words lost in her collarbone. “Somehow I doubt she’d bother about it now.”

Tagging anyone who's reading this! You! Yes, you! Do you have WIPs to share? SHARE THEM AND TAG ME. I DEMAND IT.
