LINE UP LET'S GO!

[daz4i]

sometimes i fear i am filled with too much rage but then i go online and see. people so dedicated to their anger it is practically their entire existence. are you not tired? do you not feel consumed by it? it's okay to let go. your passion can still be expressed through other feelings as well. flames of emotion do not always have to burn you to ashes. please rest a bit and let them just pleasantly warm you

thinking of herrrrr

My first AU!

So I've been looking through alot of AUs and I decided that 'Hey, I should really make one of my own' and now here we are.

Split to a Ditch AU

Split to a Ditch AU Is an altered timeline event where Betty finds a seperation spell instead of summoning golb, Easy plan right? Absolutely nothing bad will happen.. right?

Of course using the spell on ice king would be pretty hard since he is quite the nutjob when it comes to staying still so instead of hitting the ice king, Betty ends up hitting the crown. Thus causing the gems to fall out and make crude copies of original simon's personalities/y.

Some more well known and some... not that prominent.

Simon on the left, A disfunctional embodiment of Simon's character, self loathing and.. a whole tray of anger that was supposedly locked up and were to never be for anyone to witness.. until now..

The anger that he must have felt when Betty had disappeared after he wore the crown.

Simon in the middle - A Sociable individual that is not only caring but also quite silly, Think of a dad that always does dad jokes but crank it up to atleast 150%.

Simon on the right - The literal definition of trauma. A type of character that would avoid any social interaction and always blaming himself and not the crown.

Original Simon - He's back to normal but is both figuratively and literally dead at the moment, without major aspects that makes him who he is then he is just gonna be in a coma because yes.

----

Note: I've improved so much at drawing simon :D to think that just a few days ago I was going insane at trying to make him look as close to the Canon as possible! *Happy noises*

I read the quote you posted from golden son and I didn’t immediately read the tags so I was going crazy because I remembered the scene differently, but since I have only read GS translated in my language I thought it was a translation change. But now I feel dumb because what are the RR snippets I need more of whatever that was because that was beautiful, the lancelot part got me screaming crying and throwing up. please help😭

Thanks for the ask!

My copy of Red Rising (which is just a standard American mass–market paperback I bought back in 2016) has a teaser for Golden Son at the end, excerpts from Ch. 11–12, which cover the Gala. It is mostly consistent with the corresponding parts of GS, with less dialogue and detail and overall polishing than the actual book, but there’s the occasional thing that got cut or changed in the final version. Strangely, the teaser at the end of my GS is identical to its corresponding scene in Morning Star—it’s the prologue—so I’m not sure whether this was deliberate.

Here’s the official version of THAT scene:

He of the bloodydamn golden curls is with the girl who nursed me to health in the winter, who helped me remember Eo's dream. His hand on her waist. His lips whispering into her ear. As surely as Cassius au Bellona put a sword in my stomach, he now sticks a dagger in my heart.

His hair thick and lustrous. His chin cleft, hands steady. Shoulders powerful, made for war. Face made for the hearts of court. And he wears the rising sun of the Morning Knight. The rumors are true. It rips through the party. The Sovereign has made him one of the twelve. Despite the fact that I won the Institute, he's risen higher, tearing through the Dueling Circuit on Luna like an ancestor possessed. I've watched him on the HC, watched him stalk around the Bleeding Place as another Gold lies near death.

But here, now, he dazzles, charms. Face split with a white smile. In his Golden body he has all I have and more. He is faster on his feet than I. As tall. More handsome. Wealthier. He has a better laugh and people think him kinder. Yet he has none of my burdens.

And this is the teaser from RR:

He of the bloodydamn golden curls is with the girl who nursed me to health in the winter, who helped me remember Eo's dream. His hand on her waist. His lips whispering into her ear. As surely Cassius au Bellona put a sword in my stomach, he now sticks a dagger in my heart.

His hair thick and lustrous. His chin cleft. His hands steady. Form powerful. Shoulders made for war. Face made for the women of court. And he wears a crown badge. The Sovereign has taken him for one of her lancers. Despite the fact that I won at the Institute, he's risen higher, tearing through the Dueling Circuit on Luna like an ancestor possessed. I've watched him on the HC, watched him stalk around the Bleeding Place as another Gold lies near death. He stalks like a famished beast as if one life cannot sate the hunger that roils inside him.

Here, now, he dazzles, charms. Face split with a white smile, he is the man fit for stories of romance, a Lancelot galloping from myth to steal a woman who could have been, but never was, my Guinevere. His is a charmed birth. He has all I have in his Golden body and more. He is faster on his feet than I. As tall. He is more handsome. Wealthier. A golden knight. He has a better laugh and people think him kinder. He does not have my burdens.

As you can see, the final version is a little more eloquent and better–worded. The teaser is rawer and a little clumsier. But… whoever cut the Lancelot and insatiable beast bits out should go to Deepgrave, fr, because they’re just 🤌🏽

With the exception of THAT scene, the differences are minor, the Final Cut being obviously superior and often opulent by comparison. Still, there are some notable omissions that didn’t make it, like—

A brief but important conversation between Darrow and Karnus (where he guzzles like, four glasses of wine in less than a minute; Eagle Rest needs an AA chapter, apparently) about butter, in which they establish that A) Lunese food has too much butter and not enough salt and that B) butter is disgusting and makes them feel like pigs.

Karnus also mentions that Julian loved butter so much he ate it by the stick, alone. Wtf, Julian.

Darrow also remarks at one point that A) Martians pride punctuality and always arrive on time, that B) Venusians disdain it and are always fashionably late, and that C) Lunese either come first or last, to keep people guessing and mess with their heads, ofc.

(I like to imagine the Raa being equally punctual and Dido coming to dinner two hours late wearing a diaphanous dress and body glitter, getting criminally offensive side–eye.)

Silly askbox ideas?

How about heart leo or alt casey playing botw for the first time and their horse accidentally dies. They are devastated. But then lil leo or someone gives them directions to the horse God

Just a silly idea if you'd like! There's a little angst but happy in the end. If it's too much dont worry about it! Have an awesome week!

he made fun of casey for like a week straight after this (casey should tell peepaw about this, see who's laughing then)

I am not actually interested in either of them, but I don't understand the interest or point of NASCAR.

I understand the interest and point of Formula 1. Like... I am not interested it in myself but I fully understand why people are super into it.

I don't get why people would be into NASCAR.
