Not sure if you answer these types of asks but I have Oberon brainrot and I was wondering how do you think Guda and Oberon would make out?
Oh I will absolutely answer this type of ask.
The answer is that they contain multitudes though. First/second ascension Oberon still acts out his prince role, he hates every second of it but he'll still play into it. Think romance movie kisses, the too-perfect-to-be true kind. Looks idyllic to onlookers! Kind of hollow for both participants.
Third ascension doesn't care, so it's a lot messier because honestly he's frustrated to be in this situation in the first place and even more frustrated to not be hating it. There's teeth, there's claws, there's also swatting the occasional bug that wanders out of his cape and into Guda's hair but that part isn't intended.
And Guda after all that? Guda's not taking any shit from either Oberons. Guda has tamed worse - have you seen their Servants? They're the epitome of "shut up and make out with me", whether it's "shut up (you're being annoying)" or "shut up (stop thinking so much)". It's not an aggressive kind of kiss, but it's insistent and it works wonders.

Tried to get back into my Serrennedy childhood friend AU. And if I am allowed to be very personal on main for a moment, I think my being unable to work on a fic where Leon has a shit load of trauma because of my trauma is Something
And I'm realizing there's probably a lot more to unpack than I thought. I thought the reason trying to reread any of it and working on the draft for the next chapter was simply because I wrote it while in the traumatic situation, so it reminded me of it.
I didn't ever intentionally channel what I was going through into the fic… but it slipped in. Leon's hair not being washed often enough. One of the many, MANY traumatic things that happened this year was our landlord illegally having our water shut off, which we pretty much just lived with because we didn't think it was worth fighting. So I did go an extended period of time without bathing. (We had a gym membership where we could shower, but I have sensory issues with showers so :/)
Leon having no one except Luis. That's not a more specific trauma, but I've struggled with feeling lonely for a long ass time now, and the more recent big trauma fest definitely worsened the problem, because literally no one knows the full extent of it. I can't really talk about it because some of it is stuff that's been slowly building for years and the trauma dumps would have their own trauma dumps. Even with a couple close friends, that already know the background and wouldn't need all the context, I haven't felt like I could talk about it because a lot of the most traumatic elements are almost entirely self inflicted, which makes it embarrassing to admit to. (Things would have been traumatic no matter what, but it could have been significantly less traumatic.)
The dirty hair and loneliness are currently the only connections to my personal trauma that I'm aware of, but I'm certain more of it slipped in that I'd notice if I reread all of it. After having the realization about those, I just had to close everything I had open related to it because I'm just. Not ready to unpack all of that.
I think unpacking it will be necessary and therapeutic, but it'll be messy and probably get worse before it gets better, and the one very amazing event that served as my lifeline to keep going and not just give up on life when I was in the thick of the bad situation is in less than a week, and there's absolutely no way I'm going to risk jeopardizing my enjoyment of it by falling apart before it.

this is one of those times when I really feel the need for an equally brainworm-afflicted collaborator or three. I'm sitting here frothing because I know there's something here but I can't fully flesh it out: GW2's Elder Dragons awaken and wreak destruction when they sense that the amount of ambient magic in Tyria has reached a certain level. ME's Reapers awaken and wreak destruction when they sense that organic species in the Milky Way have reached a certain level of technological advancement. DA's Old Gods awaken and wreak destruction when ?????????????

I've finished counting all of the nominations for the Best Mechanisms Quote/Line bracket! As of the time of posting, there are 76 responses, and 220 different quotes!!! So many!
The form to submit nominations is still open, and will be until... sometime around noon on Thursday. Maybe a little sooner, maybe a little later. So, make sure to get your last minute nominees in before that closes!!
Question: do you guys want the current list of 32 and current runner ups? I'm pretty much done for tonight, but I could get that together tomorrow if people want that. To clarify, what I mean by runner ups: currently quotes with 4+ nominations are in the bracket, so I'd put the ones with 3 nominations as well. The 3 nominations are runner ups. I am not formatting all of the quotes with 1 and 2 nominations, so if I did post all the quotes, you'd just get the quotes with 3+ nominations.
