[jrueships]

it's like he said 'hmmm. What are all the things ted hates.. 🤔? and how many of them can i wear 😼..'

[divine-misfortune]

Favorite headcanon for every ghoul! Go!

Oo!!!

Aether

Chronic migrane haver.

Loves the taste of strawberry but fucking hates the texture of them.

Developed a sense of paranoia after the old Papas deaths.

Mountain

Puppy mountain. Oh my GOD puppy mountain. Just a little (large) guy.

Terrible posture, even worse back pain because of it.

Growing plants off based off his vibes... I love the idea of him growing moss when he gets some real good sleep.

Dewdrop

Need I even say kitty dew? Because kitty dew.

So in love with Rain. Like, it's honestly concerning the way in which they're into each other. Everyone knows not to say anything about it.

All bark, no bite. Was a lot more dangerous in his water days, but he is a fire that is hard to maintain now.

Has congenital insensitivity to pain (CIPA)

Swiss

Tactical as all hell, needs to touch and be touched.

ADHD to the extreme. Put this ghoul on some Adderall.

Such a softie.

Multi ghoul that leans real heavily into quintessence and fire.

Rain (he gets multiple because he's my favorite)

Trans masc but gender is an option and he checked most of the boxes. It is a game and he is winning.

Sleepwalker, mild insomniac.

A little too obsessed with Dew. If it were any other couple, this would be a toxic relationship, but it's cool. They're happy and so in love with each other. (I could honestly go on about these two in particular for an hour).

Siren boy. Siren boy oh goodness.

Throws knives with alarming accuracy.

Way more dangerous than you think he'd be. Volatile at times.

Phantom

Asthmatic.

Is so painfully weak to having his hair touched, it's an instant off switch if you want the bug to be a purring dopey mess.

Terrified of failure, playing cocky and cool to cover it up.

Lil bug being able to turn into a sentient shadow.

Sunshine

Hasn't had to sleep alone since she was summoned, physically can't sleep alone anymore. Her body gets too stressed out.

Fallen angel sunny, something I'll elaborate on someday.

Multi ghoul, more practiced in earth and air. Surprisingly good with fire but a little too volatile to be trusted.

Local horror movie enthusiast.

Cirrus

Lowkey pack leader, they all know it. Aether just gets to pretend to be.

Looks up to Zephyr so much, they were the only person aside from Cumulus she said a word to for months after her summoning.

Probably one of the more dangerous ghouls, one hell of a hunter.

Cumulus

Summoned with Cirrus as a bonded pair.

Plays the church organ during mass.

Perfect sense of direction.

Most elementally reactive.

Aurora

Literally has every other ghoul wrapped around her finger. Princess coded. Girly pop barbie moments.

Absolutely covered in tattoos, like, her clothes cover most everything but she is completely inked up under it all.

Multi ghoul, very water inclined. They haven't figured out what her second strongest elemental tie is.

do men really just not know how annoying they are orrr

[watchinglikeafangirl]

VegasPete had two intense scenes this time so what does that mean for me and you? Yess, each gets its own analysis!

So, enjoy part one since it's too hot here and a migrane is coming.

VegasPete - captured and hostage 1/2

To understand why this particular scene feels so intense, we have to revisit the very first one of this episode.

"Do you know how sexy you are?"

Many people referred to the meaning of this scene as an equivalent to the forest episode with KinnPorsche because VegasPete is as isolated from the world as they were. This isolation is in reach of our hands in this scene, we can taste it. They just had sex, they share some thoughts, they stare into each other's eyes.

"I just live in the present. What I'm feeling, that's all I think about."

I am not quite sure if it's really the truth because it seems more like a vague answer to Vegas' question if Pete just accepted himself or not. It's more like an idea we all have, we all wish would one day happen to us. Blending the real life out, not caring about what other people do or say or care about seems like a hard thing to do and certain people's opinions will always affect us. I don't think we can just shut it all off.

But that's what this scene is about. They wish to be carefree, Vegas wishes to be carefree. In the end, it's just that: a wish. A wish that can only exist in an isolated mind far from reality because it's something ideal that will never happen. The scene is tragic in this matter but it's just a little talk between them. There are no windows, there's no outside, no reality, so it's a save space to share those thoughts.

This scene is very important as it draws a line, colors the difference between them sharing little thoughts and reality hitting hard. They live there alone. Vegas can actually feel appreciation, cooks for Pete but then his father hits him and the world hasn't changed one bit. The bubble he himself created, let him believe his own lie and disappointment is what he gets in return. Yes, Pete is there, Pete didn't run, Pete helps him but no, feelings don't change the world.

Moving on to the scene I call "aggressive knife-grabbing"

We start with a sequence of an angry, sad and disapponted Vegas and a Pete that's lost in thoughts.

"I don't like it. Then why didn't I say no?"

But Pete isn't alone all the time. Vegas brings him food, though it's again just instant noodles. Since Vegas is suddenly very distant, hides his face and was gone for a long while, Pete figured the father showed himself again. Before, Vegas was open, calm and smiling but there is always a change in attitude when he got hit. The change from last scene to this one is fatal and it's rather painful because Vegas takes ten steps back again. He is again a kid that's angry at his father. This anger comes from disappointment though he should have learned by now, there's nothing to expect. But well, in our role as kids, we never learn to expect to get no love but harm as a reward for our existence. Vegas stays in his mindset, so the mental abuse can never stop.

Pete tries to reach Vegas again, tries to touch his face but Vegas acts all cold towards him. He doesn't want to talk about it, doesn't want to deal with it. His response to Pete's concern is more like a: don't try to fix me when I can't fix myself. He doesn't accept the fact someone could care. Like I said, ten steps backwards because he doesn't feel appreciated any longer. But Pete being there is not a dream nor pity, it's care.

This comes from Vegas' very dominant character trait: selfishness.

"It's up to you Vegas. It's your choice."

This is when things start to get out of hand because Vegas starts choking Pete. For Vegas, Pete's words imply he is too weak to cut ties with his family and run. But what Pete means is Vegas chooses to let his father have that effect on him. He once overcame it and the hitting didn't hurt as much any more. But here, he wasn't prepared, caught off guard and robbed of his happiness. The scene itself was different, so is Vegas' way of dealing with it. But Pete still tries to remind him of the power he has over his father. Vegas still has the power to decide it's not gonna hurt any longer the way it does now. It also implies he always had that power, just didn't know about it or how to use it.

"Anyhow, you're just my pet."

Pete is once again the prisoner, the pet. He is not allowed to have an opinion on his own. Vegas threatens him, telling him he shouldn't get too ahead of himself. From the mere second on Vegas puts his hands on Pete's throat, an old mask reappears. I'm not saying, he's not angry, his emotions are halfway true, but it's not true he only granted Pete to share so many of his thoughts, that he was waiting for Pete to stop, that Pete should stop being himself. This is clearly something he only says to protect himself. Like I said, he's saying "I'm not fixable" though he knows deep down that's not what Pete was trying to do. There's no pity here, it's far more complicated and deeper. So Vegas is just saying all that bullshit to push Pete away.

But then things get out of hand and suddenly there's a knife pressed to Pete's neck. None of them is moving, both confused what led to this moment. They went too far. This image of the other changes the whole perspective of things. Vegas is in shock that he is threatening Pete with a knife, that his anger is strong enough to randomly kill anyone who provoces him, even if that anyone is Pete. Pete on the other hand is just truly devastated since Vegas doesn't seem to understand a word he says, that it doesn't have to be like this and that Pete has feelings as well. Vegas' face shows regret while Pete is breaking, starts to cry.

Pete insists Vegas should kill him, but Vegas doesn't. He can't. He doesn' have a reason to. For him, he calmed down the second that knife went to Pete's neck. It shook him awake. But Pete is now breaking down since Vegas was so gentle with him before but then turned into the scary kidnapper from episode 10.

And then follows the most intense line of this scene:

"I got nothing left. Not even my hunmanity."

Vegas' expression changes immediatly. His eyes are wet, his face regrets, his body is restless. He realises what he'd done. He did the same as his father, he made Pete feel like shit because Vegas himself does. The parallel to Pete's line "they don't do this because we suck but because they themselves suck" is too obvious here and it hits Vegas. He's in this context and in this scene right here, no better than his father. The abused turned into the abuser.

It's not like he didn't abuse anyone before, we see Tawan was extremely manipulated, but none of the people before have said so. They never let him feel their pain.

Then again, it was Pete's humanity that helped Vegas but he took that humanity by force. Pete didn't give it to him willingly, so Vegas drained him. He broke Pete by ignoring his needs and by just thinking about himself because he feels like he's the only person on earth who suffers.

"I've always been useless."

Pete just drops these heavy lines, aiming right to where it hurts Vegas. By saying "you're my pet", Vegas gave Pete a purpose - in a way. He told him his worth and what role he plays in Vegas' life. But in doing so, he gave Pete something to feel pathetic and even worse. All his life comes crashing down on him because Vegas treats him no different than all the other people before. In my notes I wrote: Vegas drove Pete to the edge of the cliff where his entire life comes back to him, all the aweful days he did nothing, didn't talk back, was never respected.

This is not about the time with Vegas, it's about the raw side of Pete because he shows Vegas how much he kept hidden because he was just the pet. he hoped to be treated differently after a while but Vegas just proved he won't, so this disappointment and regret of ever hoping and anger against himself, lead Pete to not see any purpose in his life any longer when this is all he ever gets and seems to deserve.

"I never exist. I have no feelings."

Because he's always been used, became useless to himself.

"I don't freaking have anything left within me."

Because Vegas took his humanity by force.

"I can't take myself anymore, Vegas."

"If you don't kill me today, I'll do it myself."

And this is where the tables turn because Pete actively harms himself. He grabs the knife, it cuts deep through his hand and he lets out a noise of pain, because hurting yourself, even when you feel like you're ready to die, still hurts, doesn't make you numb.

Vegas wants to save Pete from himself but stumbles backwards when Pete tells him to let go.

"Pete, I'm sorry. Okay? I give up, Pete. I'm sorry."

This is obviously too much for Vegas to bear. It's all so messy and an overload of information. This scene holds so many emotions, one is unable to name them all. Regret is not enough and love is too much. So I'm not even trying to word this. Just watch the frustration, disappointment, anger and self-pity run over Vegas' face when he sees he damaged more than he ever wanted. We know Pete is not the only one he held as a pet, so Vegas is probably thinking what horrible human being he is, having done such severe harm to a person's confidence and will. He knows he went to far after the incident with his father. His impulses are too strong from being mistreated all his life. He snaps so easily and it led him to where he is now. With a man he kinda has feelings for, standing in front of him, ready to take his own life in order to escape his fangs.

"Don't leave me, I'm begging you."

Here we see his selfishness once again. He may not mean it as selfish as it sounds but Vegas has always been someone to believe the world turns around him, like he is the centre of everyone's attention when in fact he's not. His idiology fights against the rest of the world. It's him against it all. With Pete, he is willing to make an exception and let him be by his side. But then it will be an "us against the world" which is not what Pete wants. The world doesn't care about him, so why cry about it when nobody's gonna listen?

"I'm a human, Vegas. I have feelings."

Pete is once again stating his point that he is not an emotionless wreck. At this point, I think Vegas never asked Pete about his thoughts because he thought Pete would come around eventually. Those lines show a completely different side. It's the side of a desperate prisoner who wants to flee whereas Vegas only knew the calm and balanced side of Pete until now. So it didn't occur to him that Pete was not okay with this situation at all. Because Vegas can't see things from the other's perspective. He doesn't have (much) empathy.

I think it's still pretty unclear how long VegasPete are on their little vacation but judging by the way Pete's wounds have recovered, I would say a long time. So Pete was coping with all of this for like three weeks or something while Vegas thought it would be okay to keep someone in a room without windows. So yes, Pete can't believe Vegas when he implies he will free him from handcuffs. He just can't trust Vegas. It totally makes sense to knock Vegas out and flee because this was the only way to escape at all, because this was not a relationship. It was the captured and the hostage. Pete was captured and would have never been freed because Vegas was his own hostage, because he was too caught up in his head.

instant migrane from this

[crimsonfluidessence]

Prompt 1: Crux

late because of course I get murdered by a persistent migrane right as FFXIVWrite starts I will break my ass to catch up

The brewer shut off. Esredes’ usual boots clicked across the white wooden flooring as he approached the table, wrapping his fingers around the handle of the teacup and pulling it out from the little machine as a small smile came to his face. Ah, the afternoon cup of tea. The instant brewing machine was quite the interesting little trinket, even if its tea quality did not compare to the traditional method. Even still, when Esredes’ thermos ran out, instant tea was much better than to spend the rest of the workday tealess. He returned to his desk and set the tea down to cool, returning his attention to the book in front of him he had been using to reference. The only job where you had to reference the law documents of Ishgard more than a Temple Knight besides Inquisitor was political assistance, he had long been convinced of this since starting the job. Luckily, Ferrant, ever the gracious employer, had written down the exact pages to reference in a little note, making the process much more streamlined than it would be otherwise. The space was nicely ambient when no one was inside. Beyond the occasional churning noises of the brewer, the idle sound of footsteps outside the door or in the offices on either side of him, the ticking of the clock on the wall, and the murmurs of chatter muffled by the white walls, the only sound in the space was the turning of pages and the scribble of his pen. Just the perfect level for Esredes to maintain his optimal focus and continue on in perfect, mild contentment. That is, except for when the door opened and another person came in, which happened to occur just as Esredes was about to take his first sip of tea. In came a man of typical highborn dress who Esredes had definitely never seen before, shutting the door behind himself and folding his hands behind his back as he came and stood in front of Esredes’ desk. He had a little smile on his face that seemed pleasant enough to accompany it. “Good afternoon— Mr. Rosemond, correct?” Esredes took a sip of tea and set it down on the desk. “That would be me, yes, you have the correct office. What brings you here today? Please, pull up a chair if you would like,” he said, gesturing to the two available on either side of the desk. “Oh, I won’t be but a few minutes.” The man replied. “I was told you were someone to come to for a project I am thinking of doing. You hold the title of negotiating specialist, correct?” Esredes picked up his tea for another sip, his eyes drifting to the painting of the Path of Knowing displayed on the wall to his right a moment, before quickly returning to the visitor. “Specialist is in fact the way to put it. That being said, I am not on those duties at the moment, but, I still am happy to answer inquiries related to them. However, for direct requests, they have to be filed through the government first before they are assigned to me. All of this aside, how may I help you?” Esredes had a somewhat reliable system of telling the ways people asked this question by now. This man’s eyes were not clouded with hidden judgements, there was no slight tension to his body posture or way of delivery that were the telltale signs of knowing who he truly was. A lot of loyalists were very bad at hiding it. Instead, this must be mere business as usual. Wonderful, ordinary news. He had not yet had to remind people he wasn’t paid to entertain them by kicking them out of his office- though he had been sorely tempted when that blonde-haired abusive commander decided he had a right to walk in- and was content to keep the streak going. “Allow me to introduce myself,” the man said, doing a gentleman’s bow and then reciting his full name and title, most of which went right through Esredes as usual. “I have headed a number of construction projects for my house, as well as contributed to the Firmament. Recent developments in the Firmament have given me a spark of inspiration, but I wanted to get the word of a professional before proceeding to the next phase of my plans,” the man continued on in that genuine tone of unawareness, truly and simply trying to conduct a business meeting. “Admittedly, inspired as I was, I knew immediately I was out of my usual territory. But if you would trouble me to answer some of my questions, I believe I can make something great happen in due time.” Hm, all right. Esredes couldn’t help but smile slightly as he took another sip. He was listening. “I take it this idea of yours is one involving dragon kind, yes? By all means, go on.” “What can you tell me about Sohm Al?” Not Anyx Trine for once? All right, this was something different. Esredes set his teacup down and folded his hands in his lap. “Well, it is important to the dragons. It is known especially as a resting ground, somewhere dragons travel when they feel their life is slipping away. The entire formation is solid crystal, making it an interesting sight to behold and an even more interesting sight to set foot in, if one could. Unfortunately, with the Nidhogg minions dwelling around the place, I’m not sure when it will be that one can set foot on it safely.” “And that is the problem, is it not?” The man asked. “With his minions around, Hraesvelgr’s children cannot truly retake their place in Sohm Al. They still risk their rage coming down on them.” “They’ve been making progress on their own time.” Esredes said, picking up the teacup. “Give it due time, and Sohm Al will be clear again.” “We owe the dragons much for what our nation has done to them,” the man said. “And that is why this idea occurred to me. We should help them reclaim Sohm Al. What if we could turn Sohm Al into a paradise for man and dragon alike? That would be much like the old times, in which we can fix it up for them as a gesture of goodwill.” Esredes almost spit out his tea. Instead, he inhaled a bit too much of it, keeping it up at his lips longer than need be to hide this fact. Slowly, he lowered his teacup, and looked back upon the man. “I do see where you mean to go with this, I really do- but Sohm Al is not the place for it. Other locations in the Churning Mists, perhaps, but not there.” The man’s expression dropped a little. “Not Sohm Al? Why wouldn’t it be a suitable location?” “It is sacred ground to the dragons.” Esredes said. “Man building on it, however well-intentioned, would be disrespectful to the place. Trust me, I do believe in reintegration of the species, but there are some spaces the dragons need to have to themselves, and Sohm Al is one such place. Not to mention, any singular house’s efforts would take much too long to be worth doing.” “I believe you misunderstand my point, sir.” “What is there to misunderstand? You presented it pretty clearly. Just trust me, you want to leave the dragons to their own affairs on this particular manner. Human intervention may do more harm than good.” The man was silent for a moment. His expression dropped further, his smile disappearing completely and his eyes narrowing at Esredes. “I have to admit, for someone who works directly with dragons, your perspective is not as I expected, Mr. Rosemond. Can you not see the merit? Can you not see how this could reshape the future?” Esredes’ eyes narrowed slightly back at the man. No amount of tact could stop him from picking up on what those words really meant. But he utilized the best tool in his arsenal- he held his tongue just long enough to formulate his response. “I have no further things to say on the matter.” He paused to sip his tea. “You wanted my opinion as a professional, and I have given it. In the meantime, I suggest you look into speaking with Tarresson de Dzemael, difficult as it may be to get ahold of him. He may be able to provide you additional insights towards your ambitions.” The other man was silent for another moment. “Very well,” he finally said. “Have a nice rest of the day, Mr. Rosemond.” And then he quickly left, just like that. Esredes sighed and leaned back in his chair, draining the last of his tea. A small smile slowly spread across his face as the ambience of the room settled back in. The streak continues, Esredes told himself. I didn’t have to ask him to leave, he did it himself. All was peaceful and well in the office once more, for now. He but had a legal document to get back to consulting, and be carried back into the steady rhythm of the work until the next interruption. But first, Esredes got up and walked over to the brewer. He needed another cup of tea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Me: Y'know, Phantom Menace isn't as bad as I remembered.

yeah that’s what garfield looks like under the hood

i. « Un botánico normando, Turpin, ha dicho una palabra que encierra una filosofía y un mundo: “Ver acontecer las cosas es el mejor modo de explicárselas”. » Mi árbol cambia sus hojas mientras arquea más y más sus ramas. Las aves migran de copa en copa sin hacerse tontas. Quiero decir, sin despedirse. La luz herida me anuncia que no persiste un duelo sin color. El aire traspasa mis membranas y en espiral se convierte en energía. Si todo esto cabe en el círculo de visión que conjuntan mis ojos, navego en el espectáculo de ese instante. Si el ánimo no me alcanza, estira sus límites en mi centro el lago que inunda mi tristeza. 

ii. Mi piel guarda el olor de la flor de la ciruela y el escalofrío que da el sentir fija una mirada ajena. Mis hombros han quedado suaves y caliento mi seno con sus hojas rojas. Respiro atenta de la combustión que espero, estiro la médula cuando inspiro y contraigo el vientre cuando exhalo. Me alargo y envuelvo en bucle, como una oruga laboriosa que camina lento. Si el ánimo me alcanza, navego en el espectáculo de ese instante; estiro más los límites del lago, inundo con la luz herida cada uno de mis huecos vacíos.
