A New Wish Is Getting Interesting

First I want to give props to them putting this fairy lore reference in the show, because it took me off guard

According to fairy folklore, fairies were believed to be fallen angels that were too good to go to Hell but not good enough to go back to heaven. I don’t think this is going anywhere besides this reference but this is the coolest fairy folklore reference I have seen yet! Side note over

Now what’s really interesting is when Poof/now named Peri has entered the chat

If I remember correctly, Wanda’s maiden name (or maybe they hyphened their last names? Idk) is Periwinkle. His full name, Periwinkle Cosma is his parents last names together, that’s really cute!! Peri also has style, not just his outfit, but has extra detailing on his wings if you look closely, and his wand rattle is now a magic cane, it would be so cool if when he grants a wish he bangs the cane on the ground, like in Nanny McPhee. It wouldn’t really work in fairy form since fairies don’t touch the ground, but it would look cool as Hell if he has a human disguise like Cosmo and Wanda

When watching episode one and the 10,000 years through time and space trip kept coming up I had the theory that they retired because losing Timmy hurt them and the sabbatical they went on was a way to cope but I think their absence hurt Peri too. Cosmo and Wanda mention Peri in part one of lost and founders day to Hazel’s parents and I love how they referenced that Cosmo had him

“That’s what it felt like when I had him, I MEAN WHEN WANDA HAD HIM!!”

But after Hazel’s parents asked where he was Wanda looked really sad and sounded defeated “oh, we don’t know” she try’s to play it off but then spills that they forgot while they were on vacation for ten thousand years and then ran away when they realized they sounded crazy.

My heart freaking sank! So here is what happened according to the limited context I got. Cosmo and Wanda had to let go of Timmy, and can’t be Godparents anymore because it hurts. They cope by going on an extremely long vacation and it really does sound like they accidentally shut out Peri. And judging by the way Wanda said “we don’t know” and how defeated she sounded I think Peri went no contact with Cosmo and Wanda and damn that’s sad Cosmo actually seems straight up heart broken (bet Peri was a Daddy’s boy)

But! Peri being Dev’s Fairy Godfather introduces an interesting situation. Hazel is mad at Dev and Dev wants Hazel back as a friend, and Peri probably doesn’t want anything to do with his parents and his parents want him back. So they are probably going to have Peri not ready to forgive Cosmo and Wanda but does work with them to get Hazel and Dev to be friends again and their relationship slowly repairs over time. And we get more context to that 10,000 year trip.

Edit: I just remembered that Wanda’s last name was fairywinkel oops

falin for the ask meme? :3c

Falin!

First impression

oh. OH. So this is what people mean when they say a character is "haunting the narrative".

Impression now

Hello, character I relate to a little too much!!

I really, really love Falin. To be honest, there was a point in the story where I got kind of frustrated with how she was portrayed - it got a little TOO 'haunting the narrative' for my taste, if that makes any sense. She was a little too much of an idea instead of like, a Whole Actual Person.

But I came around by the end! I think the finale does really really well by her.

I honestly sometimes am not sure how much of My Take on Falin is actually intended, but I LOVE the idea of her as a person who doesn't know how to take up space of her own. I have to carefully balance my read on her kindness because I don't want to treat it as ALL motivated by like trauma & repression, but I do think that a lot of her character is informed by that. I don't think she's very good at being selfish, or tolerating other people's pain.

That balance of 'very kind, but not always for the right reasons' is a quiet tragedy that is very relatable. I really like to think she can start to heal and move on from some of that in post-canon.

Favorite moment

Teef smile Falin is so so dear to me. Most authentic Falin smile of the whole manga I knew in my heart that she was going to have room to grow and find herself and love herself as soon as I saw this panel v

Idea for a story

I have been noodling on Falin/Rin and I think it could be a REALLY fun dynamic. Both have suffered from similar 'rejected because of magic stigma' traumas. Both repress their feelings, but Falin becomes exceedingly soft and Rin becomes exceedingly hard. Rin doesn't like magic schools and Falin studied at one but also did so in a really unconventional way. There's a lot of fun contrasts to mine here!!

So I'd love some kind of AU that ends up with them stuck together deep in the dungeon having to work together would be very good!! Force them to adventure together and see what happens!!!!

Unpopular opinion

She's not perfect, and not all of the traits people admire in Falin are entirely healthy for her.

(idk how unpopular this really is, but I don't feel like I've seen it talked about much?)

Favorite relationship

Definitely her and Laios. God. The siblings of all time. The way they have supported each other through so much trauma and heartache, but also have been sources of pain for each other. The way they are constantly working to repair the things that have been broken for and between them. Ough.

Favorite headcanon

Not so much headcanon as "extended material canon" but I love that she squints so much because she's nearsighted. Get that girl some glasses T.T

Oh also I'm a soft butch Falin truther. Marcille can't keep us silent forever. We know the truth!!! She is meant to have short fluffy hair and wear big soft cable knit sweaters and embrace women in her big warm arms. #justiceforbutchfalinlooks

[v3nusxsky]

Hey! idk if ur still taking requests but can I ask for soft Lesso x Reader smut where reader does the deed for the first time since being s**ually abused pleae??? Thanks bestie x

Hey lovely anon! I hope you are well and this fic is what you desired thank you for your support <3

We will go slow 18+

*Authors note| this is a tough one that hits a little closer to home than I actually thought it would. So please if you want feel free to reach out unfortunately this is something that happens to many people*

Trigger warnings~ past sexual assault oral (r receiving) fingering (r receiving) thigh riding (lesso receiving) sweet loving smut

Prompt~ see the ask^^

Being with the Dean of the school for Evil was like nothing you expected or had ever experienced before. It was an unexpected love especially after everything you had been through, you swore off relationships of any kind for a long time that's why you found it so surprising how quickly you allowed Lady Lesso into your heart. You were quite surprised with how respectful she was of your boundaries, naturally being a forward and taunting women she had accidentally scared you once by her advance so changed her tactics to being more softer and relaxed in her approach. This seemed to work wonders and you instantly felt safe enough to confide in the dean.

When you told disclosed the horrors you had faced to the women she was in shock to say the least. Admittedly, you weren't together at that point but you were very close and Lesso knew of her feelings towards you but couldn't understand your reactions to her advances. So you sat down in her office and told her everything. Start to finish about what he did to you. You had to pause at certain points as the memories were too strong for you to deal with, but she was patient with you and offered her hand to you as a form of comfort which you took willingly. Some of the parts of your story had Lesso gasping in shock, she had no idea you had been through so much. She could always appreciate a true act of evil but what you had been subjected to was more than evil, it was down right cruel.

That night you cried holding onto her hand as if it was the last life line you had. And yet she remained with you and would for as long as you truly desired it. All she wished to do was gather you in her arms and hold you but she couldn't risk startling you so she waited for you to come to her. And you did. That was the night you and Lesso decided to give this ago.  And for the past 6 months everything has been utterly perfect. It was hard to believe that Lesso wanted you, out of all the people falling at her feet she choose you. Despite the most you had done together is shared a few kisses and cuddles. Lesso reassured you every opportunity she could that she would wait as long as you needed, and if you never even wanted to ever again then she would respect that. After all what you had been through was brutal so it was unsurprising that you may never wish to be touched again.

That was furthest from the truth though. You desired her touch, her hands and truthfully you wished to give all of your body mind and soul to her. But you hadn't been with another since him and it terrified you that you could potentially respond in the wrong way and she'd blame herself. He had called you "damaged goods" he had broken you beyond repair and no one would ever want you now. And you had truly believed his words until her. She changed everything. The way she held you as if you were glass, the way she whispered reassuring words when you were anxious and the way she told you daily you were beautiful and how much she truly adores you. Everything about her changed that mindset. Which is why you decided tonight you would finally give into your desire.

You and Lesso had retired for the night and were laying in bed, you laying on her chest as she read a book out loud, that you truly had no interest in but her voice was soothing and you enjoyed the intimacy of the situation. You were fidgety which was the first clue that you needed to talk, then it was the way you would flick your eyes up to hers before snapping them back down to the pages hoping to not be caught. Lesso marked her book and placed it to the bedside table before shifting to grab your attention.

"Little one, are you quite alright my love?" She hummed out hoping her tone would soothe whatever was bothering you. Her eyes carefully examining every little detail to ensure she wasn't the cause. "I'm um ready Nora" you mumbled embarrassed now. What had happened had taken all your confidence with it, but this was your Nora and she wouldn't hurt you. You were safe with her. You knew that. She turned to be able to see you properly "are you sure love? You don't have to" she reiterated to you as she had many times before. And you truly knew that this was all in your control. "I know Nora, I want you to help make this a good thing. I trust you Nora with my body, mind, heart and soul." This seemed to reassure the dean and she shifted to sit up. "At any point darling, and I mean this wholeheartedly, say Dove and I'll stop. Instantly and there won't be any anger or sadness on my part. I just want you to feel good darling"

This was like nothing you had ever experienced. But you nodded showing your understanding. And that was when her lips met yours in a sweet slow kiss. It was as if she had forever to worship you. You loved kissing her, it made you feel so many warm fuzzy feelings, and if you were completely honest she was the best kiss you'd ever had. Her kisses soon made their way to your neck and even just behind your ear which she knew you adored. Before removing any of the clothing you had one she asked for consent again, reassuring you that you didn't have to do this. But you wanted, no no need her.

Which is how you ended up stripped bare, lesso stripping down as well to make you feel more comfortable and less exposed before settling between your thighs. Her hands exploring your perfect breasts while her mouth laid kisses to the skin on your stomach and thighs. She could smell your arousal, driving her wild but she was determined to go slow and ensure you enjoyed this. Tonight would be all about you and the pleasure she could bring you. With another check of consent you finally felt her lips at your soaked core. Her hot breath just ticking you. And when her tongue brushed over your clit ever so lightly you couldn't control the moan that stumbled over your lips. Soon enough her licks became stronger and more skilled as she toyed with your aching bundle of nerves. You we're getting desperate now, not above begging for her so you did. And she complied instantly by finally letting her tongue explore your folds. If you thought you were a goner then well when she moaned against your cunt as eager fingers rubbed slow but firm circles on your aching clit, you were definitely in heaven. You came hard on her tongue as she helped you ride your orgasm out and licked up every last drop of her reward enjoying all the pretty sounds that tumbled from your lips.

Moving back up the bed she laid kisses to any bare skin in reach before kissing you thoroughly so your toes curled and you would taste yourself on your tongue. "How was that darling? Are you okay? Would you like to continue?" It was cute how concerned she was despite the fact she had given you simply what could be explained as the best orgasm of your life. Such a kind and thoughtful lover, you couldn't help but want more. Never one to leave you wanting for anything she settled back between your legs silently asking for the go ahead. Once you nodded Lesso allowed her fingers to trial through the slick now coating your thighs before slowly and carefully slipping in a finger. At the action you couldn't help but moan her name, "fuck Nora!"

That was all the encouragement she needed. As she quickly found a steady rhythm watching you in delight as you were riding her finger. You begged for her to add another and she did so watching as your face contorted in pleasure at the full sensation. Then it was the words tumbling from her mouth that shoved you over the edge once more. Praise ever flowing from the older women as you came with her name on your lips. You were her good girl and it was clear to see you enjoyed being told so. Only when you had ridden your high out did you whimper knowing you needed a break now. Lesso took the cue and joined you back in bed.

She noticed your pout and instantly inquired about it, "why are we pouting little one?" You blushed and mumbled "you didn't uh um" you trailed off but lucky for you your lover knew exactly what you were trying to say. "Darling you want me to cum?" She murmured watching your reaction and stroking her finger across your cheek in a comforting gesture. You nodded in a response. "Little one you've done so well tonight you don't have to touch me that could be overwhelming but if you truly desire I could always ride your thigh" she suggested watching as you processed what she had said. Lesso was right maybe too much would freak you out, and offering your thigh meant you'd still be able to kiss her. So you nodded and watched as she moved to straddle your thigh. Her lips finding yours as she rolled her hips slowly letting you get a feel for what was going to happen.

Your little moan is what fuelled her movements to become more needy and frantic as she worked herself to her own high. When she came it was you she cried out for. And all you could do is watch as pleasure ripped through her body. She was absolutely breathtakingly stunning in the day time but with this nothing would ever compare. After lesso was finished she hopped up to gather a warm washcloth and cleaned you up so you wouldn't be sticky before coming back to bed to hold you in her arms. She peppered kisses everywhere she could reach asking repeatedly if you were okay and if she did anything that made you uncomfortable. But all you could do is smile and remind her that everything was perfect before falling asleep in her arms.

really fascinated by the Clovis AI vs Clovis-1 (later Banshee-44). I know this has probably been discussed before but. the AI is an exact replica of Clovis Bray I's consciousness put into a giant exo body (the head, anyway), while Clovis-1 was a normal exo meant to be Clovis reborn/given a second life. but being a typical exo his memories were reset so he's like. no longer an asshole lol. like this is one of the first interactions he has after waking up (speaking to Elsie and the Clovis AI):

[image ID: excerpt from the lorebook "Legacy's Lament" that says:

"Hold on there. You haven't gone through any initiation protocols. You're not ready," she says.

"If there are lives to be saved, that's where I need to be," the new guy replies. He's oddly determined.

"Where you need to be," the AI interjects, "is with your family. Me."

"Every instinct I have is telling me to reject you," the Exo retorts. Nice, new guy.

/End ID]

it's such an interesting contrast. here the original Clovis was hoping this exo was going to be an exact continuation of him. his life, his legacy, his research. that he'd continue to propagate the exos and make an army of them (if the Vex invasion + Collapse hadn't happened, anyway). Clovis is selfish and doesn't care if most of humanity dies because he just sees them as future exos. he wants everyone to be a product of his legacy. but Clovis-1 basically sacrifices himself 43 times to save people and help shut down the vex portal.

idk there isn't much of a point I'm trying to make here I just think it's an interesting study of how humanity isn't inherently evil and being untouched by the influence of the Darkness (and monopolistic capitalism lol), Clovis-1 is a good person. he even wished he could've kept his memory to help repair the broken relationship between him and his granddaughter, Elsie, but ofc after 43 resets he lost most of what made him Clovis (perhaps for the best).

THE BEAR S3 Predictions

Just a mental note I'm putting out here to be able to revisit it when the time comes to check its level of accuracy. I have the feeling that S3 is going to be the season of the reconciliations.

The relationship between Richie and Carmy is completely broken after the walk-in incident and Richie walks from The Bear. He happens to get some kinda job offer and accepts it just to prove Carmy wrong. They will later spend a good portion of S3 trying to repair their bond. By the end of S3 (hopefully sooner) there should be a reconciliation of some sort between them and Richie should go back to The Bear.

Nat gives birth to her new "cub" and this brings the family together. There is a reconciliation with Donna, which in some capacity benefits not only the siblings but the entire team, the restaurant as a whole. Not exactly sure how this will play out, but Donna will quit being this negative and toxic influence on everyone. Maybe she gets clean because she takes this baby as a new chance to start over and be a better grandmother than the mother she was. IDK...

Marcus' mother dies and this juxtaposition of new beginnings, births, endings, death, etc is going to be a theme throughout the whole season, that is why I actually think this funeral will be the opener.

There will be some kinda flashback episode, like 7 Fishes or a montage of some memory that has a huge impact on one or more characters. I have my $ put on the Sundays, Mr. Adamu and lil Syd would spend at Mr. Beef's. I strongly disagree with the weak argument that just because the Berzattos are catholic, their restaurant didn't open on Sundays. The gastronomic industry cares very little about those traditions especially if the place is struggling. I bet they were open every Sunday part-time, just for lunch, to get all the demand of those who went to church just because business-wise it makes total sense.

Carmen will apologize to Claire. Not sure what she's gonna make of that apology, whether she's gonna accept it or not, I hope she doesn't. I'm pretty sure there will be no reconciliation here. I don't necessarily oppose Carmy having a romantic partner and as much as I ship SydCarmy like nobody's business, I'm 100% sure they are not gonna happen any time soon. Maybe and this is a HUGE maybe, they could be the perfect cliffhanger for S4. But that would be a stretch. Not that Store & Calo couldn't pull it off, but still. So, basically, I am all for a new love interest being presented to Carmen just to see how he responds to it. After Claire he should go back to his old lone-wolf ways, I need to test that behavioral theory though, so I need a new female character to do it.

Last, but certainly not least, Miss Adamu needs her man and I'm not talking about Bear. I want to know more about Sydney's past and see her letting her hair down, putting her records on, and all that jazz. So, maybe an old flame can re-appear in her life and they can try to "reconcile". This reconciliation shouldn't work either because she's now devoted to making The Bear work and is basically a workaholic and both, Carmy & her get into this synch of type As on Speed and Red Bull, non-stop working machines, well-oiled now that they had already learned from their mistakes and The Bear succeeds but Sydney's relationship with her guy from the past fails, again. The guy feels like a 3rd wheel and lets her know that she's not in a relationship with him but with her job. Sydney understands the subtext, and this break-up is actually a wake-up call for her. She starts seeing what we all shippers are already seeing. It's not just about work for her. Yes, The Bears are too absorbing and demanding, both, the restaurant and the chef, but she doesn't mind. She loves it. Love is the operative word here. This realization should hit her hard by the end of the season.

The background of all the things I just mentioned above will be the BOH, fast-paced, chaotic, and working like a Swiss clock, just like Carmy likes it.

Am I missing something? Probably. Can't wait to find out.

Bonus tracks: I am pretty sure the wedding will either be Teff's or Fak's.

And lastly: When Sydcarmy happens, it will "officially" start with something small and inane like Syd accidentally finding out Carm has been drawing portraits of her all along... CHECK THIS OUT, I think Storer & Calo have something like this in mind or along these lines, and it should come along in S3, minus the sex part.

COTL AU: Also exactly what it sounds like - #FNAF COTL - #COTL AU

I have a few AUs that don't have a label and probably haven't really been talked about that much but also they're just like silly ship AUs and such. My friends and I are just insane. A lot of my AUs are on my server (locked behind the adult channels because we're a bunch of degenerates). Currently the only one with works published is Highly Unconventional. I'm working on Cage, Reset, and Obsession in the background with co-writers. And currently on my own with codependency, bearcode, and TCAU which have their own fics in the works.

Also I'm so bad at tagging shit for my AUs consistently or I always use multiple tags so just have mercy on me. A good one is just "tsams/fnaf/dca au" for a catch all in my blog or "tsams/fnaf/dca ship" also works most of the time. Since a lot of these don't have fics yet it'll probably lead you to rambles about them or artworks I've done

[cool-jpgs-of-wizards-with-swords]

I think a lot of my trauma comes down to the time in middle school I accidentally destroyed a classmates sweater by pulling a loose string

I ran away, because I was scared of being told off, and having to tell my parents that we'd have to pay for it later, so I sat by myself on the playground out front after the break was over

After a while, three kids run up to me, my best friend and two others

And I got ready to say something when I heard one of them shout "you're fucking dead" before the other who wasn't my best friend grabbed me by the head and smashed my face against his knee

I don't remember how I got away from them, I was the slowest runner in class, but I managed to hide again, this time somewhere clever, where they couldn't find me, and I sat there with my nose bleeding hearing them call for me while searching the school

I only came out because I didn't want my teacher to get in trouble, I think. I don't actually remember why I left that spot

I remember those two, not including my best friend, dry humping after one of their birthday parties, laying next to them, hearing them insist over and over that they're not gay

Idk if I'm gonna post this or not as I write it so if it gets even more rambly from here. Whatever

I remember one kid trying to push me off a staircase when I was in a wheelchair temporarily

I remember actually getting shoved down those stairs when I wasn't dealing with a broken bone, and landing with a roll I learned in martial arts class

I don't think I ever became a pushover, and I managed to make a lot of bullies also be my friends

Maybe my whole kink for fighting goes back to how that was something I was good at and earned me respect, idk. Rivals to lovers as wish fulfilment

I dunno. I guess we stood in the shower for a while and just thought about our life for a bit

How much I like my life now, even with how dysfunctional I am, that maybe this being as comfortable as it is for me is a huge hindrance to me getting better

I don't have a lot of friends who live nearby, but I get to live with someone I wanna spend my life with, and have been given the opportunity to repair some of the relationships I've most regretted losing

No-one from that school, though.

The last thing I heard from any of them was one of them telling me that the class reunion didn't feel right. I didn't go, and the thing I heard was that "it just wasn't the same without you."

My betrothed just joined me in bed and I immediately lost my focus on writing this

That's prolly a good sign <3

[dappersautismcreature]

i think, i think i really love q!bagi and imma defend her as much as i do qbbh like,, im sorry cellbit defenders i am still one of you but some of yall really need to realize that you are putting all of the problems of the mystery twins relationship onto bagi and just,, thats a bit of an issue.

its not all on her to repair cellbit, or her and cellbit's relationship. and insinuating that it is,, is,, well,, falling into a bit of misogyny?

she's gone through shit too, and what happened to cellbit was completely not her fault, so why is she mean and bad and dumb for having feelings about how much he's changed? for needing more than a few days to accept this change? for reacting "wrong" to this completely fucked up turn of events?

as much as bagi needs to come to terms with how much her brother has changed, and has not needed her,, cellbit needs to realize that he was not the only victim of the federation, and that while his childhood was stolen from him, bagi's was also stolen, when her brother went missing and she had to dedicate her life to finding him.

as always, i will reflect on my own experiences as a sibling. it is best to assume with twins, with siblings, that one is not more of a victim of circumstance than the other. they were both fuckin kids, and they were both victims of horrible things, stop putting cellbit on a pedestal of "more broken" or "should be treated as more traumatized or delicate"

idk i just dont want people to put bagi down for reacting in any way because im sorry but she's gonna be heavily traumatized too and its not on only her to be the grown adult here. she shouldn't be forced to 'mother' a 'broken' man, i hate that trope -____-

[ramonag-if]

All of Salyra's salyra-ness is so horribly ironic because my main mc was very willing to meet her half way and repair the relationship with her mama to start. She was overjoyed she even gets the chance!.... and then salyra in her overbearing need to idk connect? control? Shoehorn mc into what she has idealized their relationship to be? Has done nothing but push said mc further away. I haven't caught up entirely yet but I'm pretty sure this is going to end with this mc having NO relationship with her mother and I am morbidly curious to see what sort of meltdown on her part that entails (I can feel it coming I swear. Its gonna sink in that she's not getting her way and its gonna be ugly) . It's such a well written dynamic they have regardless of how much mc forgives or doesn't forgive Salyra. I think she's one of my favorite characters in a "examine like a bug in a microscope" kinda way. Like I personally think she's a terrible person and everytime she's onscreen she manages to make me mad, but she makes for so much interesting drama I think the story would not be as good without her.

There's stuff I haven't caught up on yet bc I haven't been reading much lately but I got excited when I saw there was new content and have been reading the asks on the blog and wanted to share my own thoughts 😅

Salyra is very aware of how others perceive her - so she's always holding her truest thoughts to herself. That said, when the final reveal of her secrets becomes unravelled, Salyra's facade will crack and you will get to see her broken, more desperate side that she's tried very hard (and been quite successful) in hiding so far. It's not going to be pretty and it will be a make-or-break-it moment for many MCs out there, especially those who are fond of Irus 😅

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I really love reading how everyone interprets the characters and their actions in the game.

[zlobonessa]

well since the coup thing here just kinda sorta ended i guess i think this is as good time as ever to tell yall about my silly little modern au because why the hell not. i had this au for a while as a source for jokes but it just kept growing and growing untill. well I'm actually writing fic about (parts of) this but again it's in russian so i just want to outline the ideas. this is totally went off the rails but i like it that way

so

the catalyst of all is regurein of course

i have several variations of why the hell are they dating but one of my favourites is the one where they engage in passionate fight about twilight saga on the internet

joke about twilight saga belongs to koa. thanks koa.

the second favourite is about coffeeshop au set in two rivaling coffeeshops with questionable work practices and with money laundering probably happening in the background (or something worse?) of one of them

but anyway

reinhard's friends are taking the news very well

which means they are not, in fact, taking the news very well

julius is heartbroken

he has that wlw experience where your infinitely pretty incredibly smart unimaginably cool friend (homoerotic undertone) starts dating a guy who can be characterized only as Human Garbage

out of Friendly Concerns he and the others start the secret operation of Breaking Your Best Friend Relationships

they are not very successful

observing disgustingly sweet and/or horrifying dates with binoculars from the bushes does not bring any results

ferris suggested poisoning several times already

somewhere along the line felt is involved

she is neither the participant nor regurein's matchmaker but a secret third thing

(not entertained by any of this bullshit but forced to observe it)

probably is blackmailing julius

lye is also here

he is tagging along with regulus for some reasons idk i never thought it through

he and felt form unexpected friendship based on common annoyance of being forced to third wheel all this mess

perhaps they start the punk rock band???

the music is terrible

joshua thinks soo too

yes he is also here

he desperatly pretends to be a big fan

that's his late teenage rebellion

felt and lye do not like him anyway but it's not like they have a lot of fans so they keep him to buy them alcohol or something

when julius finds out he almost has a heart attack

and also regulus had some malicious plan all along! oh no!

but oh well he is not the smartest guy yknow

certainly NOT GOOD with being subtle

also has very Weird relationships with feelings

and accidentally catches them for reinhard for real

his mental stability: destroyed

but it's fine and reinhard keeps him anyway because he is absolutely bonkers

again julius is very close to an emergency room

but also in the (failed) attempt to stop this shitshow he Finds His True Love

emijulisuba happens! yay

bonded by spying and perhaps discussion ls of common crush on reinhard

so it's fine. it's totally fine. it's so fine he swears.

IN THE MEANTIME

the subplot happens. it involves wilhelm.

reinhard informs him that he has a boyfriend and plans to introduce him at the family dinner. in the desparate attempt to repair their broken relationships wilhelm decides that it's time to be An Ally

i'm giving him a lot of credit here but that's also a bit of copium for Me Personally so it's okay

so wilhelm googles "who are.gay people"

accidentally ends up on gay dating app

as an ally

matches with petelgeuse there

as an ally

has sex with him

as an ally

tries to think how exactly he is gonna tell reinhard that he has a new grandma now so he is forgiven

(that was a joke)

so reinhard comes to the manor/apartment/penthouse with regulus

and regulus and petelgeuse recognise each other because of course they do! they are colleagues! (or were something more? who know)

well now this is awkward

do you think somebody gets murdered here

credits roll

scene after credits: emilia finds out that her dead aunt and her somewhat-uncle who went out for milk years ago are actually both alive in complicated relationship and working in the coffeeshop-slash-money-laundering-scheme-slash-sect

[not-sure-what-im-feeling]

(For ask game, 🐝 gonna send a couple cause I’m bored. Pick any idk)

Tying Loose Ends, Opening New Wounds

Dancing on Broken Dreams

Brotherly Bitterness

do you promise?

Tying Loose Ends, Opening New Wounds

When Virgil asked Roman to help him run a few errands, he had expected to go grocery shopping, maybe a trip to Hot Topic for some of that eyeshadow he's always wearing. A visit with a crime boss was not on his agenda, and getting shot in the leg was even less so. Still, this was were Roman found himself.

Dancing on Broken Dreams

Remus loved to dance. It was a passion of his, though that passion had long since been stomped into ash. So once he gets the opportunity to join a team as a stand-in, courtesy of his brother's friend Logan, he leaps at it--no pun intended.

Brotherly Bitterness

Remus and Roman hadn't spoken in at least three years. They ignored each other when possible, trying to forget of each other completely. When the other sides finally try to repair the broken fragments of their relationship, it's only natural that they're hesitant. Really hesitant. Maybe this reunion wasn't the best idea...

Do you promise?

Oaths were a binding stronger than magic. That was a fact of the world. Oaths were only to be used in a very serious situation. That was how Patton knew Janus was serious. So incredibly serious.

So I did do all of them... I may decide to write these in the future but I'm not sure. They do seem nifty thought!

Just read the first chapter of someday.

First of all. I love the name; I love the theme. There’s something about hoping for a better future/realizing it’ll all kinda just be an extended version of the present that’s very heartbreaking. I liked your note at the end about feeling like you’re still you and you didn’t really change. I feel that so deeply - I don’t think I’m at all separate from the me that was 6 and 12 and 15 like they’re all me. So yeah, very cool. I’ve added a bunch of my thoughts in no particular order:

^ I love when characters are stuck in a physical place that is a metaphor for a time of their life or/and an experience or/and also very much that physical place. To me canon Bruce and Jason have never left Ethiopia.

“I know it is my father's first time on this Earth, too. And I know He had it worse when he was little. But I was little too.” etc etc (I assume it’s a reference to- love it. Steph’s relationship with her father is so interesting to me)

The bit about Dick wanting to gaslight Gotham into thinking Damian’s always been there 😭 he WOULD lol

A pleasure to see Dani again! I love her sm :3

Also: the story of Omelas, and how Jason doesn’t even really think about the moral argument of it, but is really mainly stuck on that one phrase. Very interesting window into his character.

Anyways. I loved this first chapter! Excited to see what comes next :)

hey hi hello I'm so happy

that whole bit at the end of chp 1 came about bc I was looking at old journals of mine from elementary school and middle school and high school and realized I kept making goals for myself. kept writing down my hopes for the future and I wrote, so so many times, "I hope I'm better, someday" and I was sitting there and I couldn't have looked at my younger self and said "you are" bc I'm not. and I came to the understanding a long time ago that you can't cure yourself of a bad childhood, you can just try to have a better life and hold that small part of yourself more gently than any adult ever did. but I was mad about it, and I still am

that "but I was little too" was EXACTLY what I was referencing. 100%. entirely. I think about that a lot, whenever I try to think kindly of how my dad acted when I was a kid. bc he was in a really bad situation, but I was little too. idk I feel like the older I get the more nuanced my anger with my parents gets. bc they were too young to get married, they shouldn't have had kids. they were kids once, and life crushed them. ("I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them" etc)

I think Dick's right, they should just pretend Damian was always there. I think the socialites would be too embarrassed to try and call it out. Vicki Vale would have an aneurysm

my thing with Omelas was that, Jason already thinks about those morals a lot, and he has kind of already decided that he doesn't think it's okay and something should be done about it. the comfort of the many isn't worth the pain of one. maybe the other kids are experiencing that dilemma for the first time, but Jason isn't. so that one line is really the thing he focuses on, bc he's not having that moral debate. he's trying to figure out if he's already been broken beyond repair, he wants to know if he's known too much fear to ever be free of it

thank you, as always, for sharing your thoughts I enjoy them deeply 🥹🥹

_The more I read about the break up and how heart broken carlos was the more I get pissed at tk...yes I understand that what carlos did was wrong but damn tk's reaction was so OVER THE TOP, he acted like carlos and their relationship is worth less then nothing to the point where he made carlos doubt his love...not gonna lie I'm still angry that they made carlos forgive him so easily..it gives the impression that tk can hurt carlos as much as he wants with no consequence because carlos will forgive him every time._

I've seen so many people say this and that tk doesn't deserve carlos and I want to know your take on this because I really love to read your thoughts on tarlos🧡

So I just wanna preface everything by saying that I am deeply, unbearably in love with Carlos Reyes. I just. Adore him. I love him so much. I love his heart and his kindness and his caretaker nature and he’s just so so so good. He is my favourite he is my angel I love him absolutely to pieces.

But I understand TK. Maybe because we’re alike, maybe because we’ve had similar lives in a lot of ways and we have similar scars and types of damage that we carry with us. And I just don’t get anyone who feels the way the person you quoted does. He makes mistakes and he hurts people like literally every human but then he learns and he tries to be better and really what more can we ask for than that? And how boring would a character be if they were perfect, if they had no flaws, if there was nothing we could point to and say “oof he shouldn’t have done that but I get why he did”, because isn’t that what’s interesting about a well written character? That they’re so unbearably human? That they’re complex and you can see bits of yourself in them, both good parts and bad parts? Idk I will never understand this need some people have for their characters to be perfect and ethical and the absolute model of mental health at all times. That sounds dreadfully boring to me. Even children’s media isn’t that reductive so why would you want your adult media to be?

I’ve never gotten the impression that the writers intended us to think TK can hurt carlos as much as he wants and always be instantly forgiven. I think it’s very much implied that they had a lot of long, difficult, but ultimately healthy conversations while TK was in the hospital, sorting out all their issues that had gone unaddressed. I wish we’d gotten to see it on screen! But I understand this is an ensemble show and there isn’t always time for everything. But I think it’s crazy to assume they didn’t and Carlos just instantly forgave him. That requires someone to completely have blinders on about all the times the show HAS shown them having healthy communication, which tbh is more than any show I’ve ever seen. That isn’t a good faith reading of the intentions of the writers.

And I just. I don’t ever want to gloss over the fact that what makes their breakup so interesting from a character standpoint is that it’s both of them who were wrong. Carlos is my beloved and I don’t like what he did. Owning real estate is a financial burden, even if you have a good job. It’s something that you have to put money into on basically a daily basis, with mortgage payments, with renovations, with repairs when shit breaks. Putting that onto someone else without asking them first is not being respectful of that other persons agency. I too would have bristled if I were TK.

Because the thing is, TK might have been fully on board with this, if Carlos had asked first. If Carlos had said “I love you, and I know how much you love this place, and I want us to have a home together. I know you can’t afford it but I can, and I want to take care of you and provide for you.” Maybe TK would have said yes. Maybe TK would have found that a beautiful gesture and sweet and loving and maybe he would have been over the moon about it.

Or, maybe he would have said “you know what, I love you too, but that makes me uncomfortable because it makes me feel like we aren’t equals. Why don’t we get an apartment together and save some money for a while and then we can buy a place together when we’re both able to contribute to it.”

The point is, tk didn’t get to make a decision that felt right to him, because Carlos took the choice away from him. And I love Carlos with all my heart, and I know he was trying to be romantic and trying to give TK a home and trying to do this big, beautiful declaration of love, but I personally don’t find that particular gesture to be one I would be comfortable with so I understand why TK didn’t either.

Now, the way that TK reacted to it is a different story, and that’s definitely where he was wrong. TK had a learned habit/coping mechanism of running away, often because he gets upset and then he can’t get the right words out to explain himself and he gets frustrated when he’s being misunderstood and he leaves. That’s his issues causing unhealthy communication and that’s something that he needed to work on, and it’s evident in canon that he did work on it because by 3x13 he wasn’t running away anymore. He was communicating firmly but kindly to Carlos what his needs were, he wasn’t being a doormat, but he didn’t run away when they disagreed. And I adore that growth. It’s so good satisfying to watch them grow. That’s what a good person does. Not never make a mistake, but learn from it and recognize when you’ve acted badly and work to correct that behaviour. They both do that in this show and honestly if these mostly angelic fictional characters don’t deserve love then I guess none of us do because real humans are far more imperfect. And idk, isn’t that what makes us beautiful?

Take Aim - Analysis

Video:

Same thing as text:

Take Aim – Analysis

TW: SH, trauma

“Wait, won't you wait for me?”

The first thought that I have, since I'm a runner: run faster XD.

I don't really mean this.

I wonder who he is talking to. The rest is self-explanatory.

“Don't you bathe in rivers?”

No, Vessel, I don't. I'm not a big fan of bathing outside in general or going to the swimming pool.

It makes me think about cold showers though. I really like them. Not always but quite often I enjoy feeling the cold water on my skin. It makes me feel something. It does make me fell alive because it starts to tingle everywhere.

“Don't you feel alive?”

So he does all of this because he feels alive or in order to feel something?

The lyrics in general often remind me of this feeling of not being able to feel at all. For me it's a “dissociation – thing”.

“And when I see you waking up”

This begs the question, again: who is he talking about? Maybe he means Sleep?

“And it sends me shivers How you love like weapons kill”

And there goes the contradiction again. In the begging everything seems to be fine but then he drops a sentence like this and it shakes you to the core.

Also I feel called out by this, again.

It makes me think about a friend that I once had. We had a very tight bond but my BPD ruined everything. I was sucking her dry. We still talk to each other sometimes but that friendship really was broken beyond repair. All of this because I was so afraid that she would leave me. “How you love like weapons kill” feels like a description of BPD to what I looks like to someone else.

“so take aim at me for once”

Why for once? I really don't get this line.

“Just take aim break me apart”

For some reason this makes me think about internalized trauma and that humans with trauma often feel like they deserve to be hurt or to be in pain. And also the strange shame that comes along with all of this. This is something that I'm also still struggling with.

“call, won't you call out my name?”

Say, my name again? Seems like he wants to be somewhere. I guess he means Sleep.

“Like a curse on this world?”

I have this connected to feeling like a burdon. I often feel like that. I don't want to bother anyone with my problems.

“Like a battle cry?”

Computer games much?! Putting down the roses picking up the sword? In higher there was also this “war language”. I think it's interesting that he keeps picking up on this.

“And you make me hate myself”

I feel this! But yet I stayed for so many years in that relationship. And also with BPD you already hate yourself anyway. It's just what you seem to do.

“make me tear my body”

Tear my arms off...

I still have feeling that he does not mean tear but to cut. It's just my opinion though and also I have this connected (again) to my own scars and they are mostly on my thighs so I think about them when I hear this.

“make me yearn for your embrace”

It did take ma a lot of time and learning to recognize abuse as such. A very long time actually. Idk what else to call this situation when it / Sleep / someone who makes him hate himself but yet he wants to be with them. It just reminds me of being caught in abuse.

“and you know I'll be yours when the moment is perfect”

This is self-explanatory. But who could he mean? Sleep?

“I will fire and forget 'til we both lay broken”

He will fire? And forget? You can remember only when you're alone? He wants both of them dead? Seems like it.

[thinkingnot]

HOODIE!!! you are my first victim of a social experiment!

Do you believe in giving people second chances, and why?

well depends on the situation but im leaning towards yes! (unless certain circumstances such as the person has crossed my personal moral compass, ie: do simply irreversable damage towards another person intentionally)

now the reason for this is that im a person with many flaws, and people are beings with many flaws, the only way to grow would be to realize and work on and fix their mistakes. I picture most people as concrete, acient Roman’s concrete, the kind that was use to build the colosseum.

The extraordinary property of self repair that it has, when a crack exposes the inside of the concrete, limestone chunks mixed in the concrete would have chemical reactions with water and outside’s air, mending those fractures.

People cracks, and make mistakes, but they can be fixed, exposing their vulnerbility to find ways to mend themselves and what they’ve broken.

Another reason that I believe in giving people second chances is because I myself would need them to do the same for me.

A proverb I’ve learnt, “chừa lại cho người khác đường lui chính là thiện đãi bản thân mình” - traslation: to leave for others a way out is to be lenient to oneself - by giving people an out you’ve saved yourself an out.

All these reasons are to mostly rationalize the true boiled down fundamental arguement with is me being a people pleaser and my attachment issues 💀💀💀 (ive never left a friendship/relationship first in my life and honestly idk if its always a good thing, im working on it <- a lie 😭😭😭 <- idk how i just cant be the first to let go i cant help thinking of reasons and very reasonable explainations for why some people are assholes 💀)

love to see your view on this too! yay social experiment >:) (stealing this question to ask my irls later to study them)
