#is a lesson he never learns

[thortwenty151]

almost all of Loki’s plans are extremely short-sighted and build on each other like a house of cards until they all fall down around him. He’s rarely two steps ahead of himself, and each decision is made based on how well the result will benefit Loki. Sometimes those decisions lead to him working for Thanos, sometimes they lead to him saving the people of Asgard. Loki isn’t really good or bad, he’s just Loki.

Dick, training baby robin: If a guy in white looks like a wannabe Batman shows up, you start throwing things at him and spray water in Bruce's face and tell him " Doomed yaoi is not the way to go"

Robin!Jason: Why would I need to do that ??

Dick , w/ a thousand yard stare: You don't wanna know...

sukuna who's about to go insane after a long day, needing to feel you.

sukuna who start's taking off your lounge wear. shirt first, before leaning in to kiss you as his hands go to the hem on your waist.

sukuna who starts pulling your shorts down before they get stuck over your hips, groaning in frustration.

sukuna who is fighting every urge to rip them off as he asks, "how'd you get these damned things on, brat?"

sukuna who is about at his wits end as they finally slide down, underwear in tow.

sukuna who all but moans in relief as they do, relishing in the sight before him. of course only after he victoriously flings his now most hated pair of shorts across the house. never wishing to see them again.

RULES OF BEING OTHERKIN #1

Being authentic and true to yourself is the only way you are 'supposed to be/act like' (insert entity). If anyone else disagrees it only tells you about them.

I think the most amazing thing about Alhaitham's ironic question "How has realizing your ideals gone for you?" is that yes, on the surface, it pierced through the heart of Kaveh's feelings at the time and forced him to reflect on whether he still had enough belief to keep going, but--BUT--

This is also Alhaitham subtly asking: "Was your life better without me?"

Kaveh left their friendship because of his ideals.

Kaveh's attempts to realize his beliefs began in earnest during his argument with Alhaitham, who challenged him back then by suggesting that Kaveh didn't honestly believe in his ideals and was just pursuing them out of guilt and a desire to punish himself for his father's death.

Kaveh's attempt to "realize his ideals," therefore, spans the exact amount of time he and Alhaitham have been separated. When Alhaitham asks about Kaveh's attempts, he's asking very specifically about the course Kaveh's life took when he was no longer in it.

How did it go for you? Were you happier? Was it worth it?

I truly believe that Kaveh will be able resolve his conflict with Alhaitham--and come to understand Alhaitham's actual feelings--when he realizes that, in that exact moment, he should have turned the question around:

How did realizing your ideals go for you, Alhaitham?

Was your life better off without me?

No.

This is an angst story where Kon confessed to Tim but Tim rejected him because he thought he didn't deserve Kon's love (typical Bat-behavior).

And then Kon died.

So um, I've sunk 30 hours into Fields of Mistria and even though this is mostly a bg3 blog, I'm still putting this brainrot here. Enjoy :)

Overstimming Eiland bc I'm down bad

Honestly just imagine it. Imagine taking this sweet, adorable, nerdy man and just making him cum until he cries. He starts off excited, thinking it'll be easy.

Eiland let's his hips buck up into your hand as you jerk him off, throbbing in your grasp as he lets out the prettiest moans of your name. Hands fisting the sheets as he cums for the first time of the night and covers your hand with the sticky white substance. The overstimulation starts creeping up on him when you suck him off afterwards, a buzz spreading through his body as fingers thread in your hair. It's hard for him to contain himself and sit still as his head falls back with every suck around his cock. The way he praises you, telling you how good you feel, voice already starting to crack with the rapid approaching of his next climax.

Eiland starts to think that maybe you'll be done after two, satisfied once he cums on your tongue, but he's wrong. By time he's pressing into you tears gather in his eyes, spurred on by the praise you heap on him. By now the overstimulation has really set in, the archeologist starting to wonder how he's still able to get hard so quickly. Instead, he tries to focus on fucking you and giving you pleasure. It's so hard for him though, when every squeeze you make around him drives him absolutely insane. He feels like some sort of animal rutting into you, pretty pink hair falling into his eyes as he desperately grabs your hips to ground himself. And even when he finally thinks he's done, pulling out and admiring the strings of cum still connecting him to you, he almost sobs when your hand meets his cock again.

He's sure he can't even get it up anymore, but you manage it somehow and he wants to cry. The sounds he lets out now are absolutely pitiful and he can't control any part of his body anymore. Hips bucking, tears trailing down his face, his moans cut off by breathless gasps. Eilands whole body feels like it's on fire and he just wants to scream. He's near the verge of just passing out by time he cums again, for the fourth and final time. His whole body is flushed and sweaty, lungs not able to get enough air in.

Eiland looks so pretty spread across the bed, splayed out in exhaustion and looking thoroughly spent. Shockingly, it's not long before he's asking you to do it again.

he’s literally so beautiful and handsome

I think Solas is a bad person insofar as him choosing to do things that will obviously reaffirm his pained world view and making that choice everyone's fault but his own

All interpretations are fine but that's my takeaway and I find him so interesting for that idk ever stop to look at a weird bug on the ground

thinking too much about Max and Steph using the same pick up line on their crushes "you're funny." and it going so well for Steph and SO bad for Max

we know they run in the same circles, you think they discussed flirting techniques??

Y’know. Anakin was a real asshole in Ahsoka’s hallucination.

Like. She mentions something about what she’ll be able to teach her padawan one day, since all she’s being taught is how to be a soldier, and Anakin’s like “teaching’s not all it’s cracked up to be”

And like. Asshole move. And Ahsoka rightfully calls him out on it. And he goes on the whole “uuuh I was joking. Lighten up.” Literally a complete jackass.

But beyond how he answered the question, it’s a valid complaint Ahsoka is bringing up! Anakin’s teaching her how to live or die. But Ahsoka wants to be taught how to be a jedi.

What happens after the war is over (order 66 never happens) and she now has to navigate a galaxy without a war? The Jedi take teaching very seriously there’s no greater honor than teaching a padawan. And she’s not being accurately taught, so she will not be able to pass anything on to the next generation.

But Anakin brushes it aside because he simply does not respect her or her wishes. Like. He never wanted a padawan, despite teaching being foundational to the Jedi. And he only took ahsoka in because he started to like her and became attached to her. He doesn’t care about jedi legacy, not really. So he brushes her comment off with a joke.

But in the rest of the vision… idk it didn’t feel like we were supposed view Anakin as entirely wrong here. He wasn’t in the right, he was definitely channeling Vader and being an ass, but he was basically the reason Ahsoka survived the fall, right? Bc he was making her choose life? When Ahsoka wins against him it’s sort of like she’s both learned his lesson and moved beyond him. And then for the rest of the season he’s only talked about in positive ways.

And like. That one line ahsoka said was really powerful in relation to the entire point of the show. What does she have to pass onto her own padawan (Sabine) if she wasn’t properly trained herself? That is, perhaps, the only valid plot question asked in the entire show. And it doesn’t get an answer. It’s never even brought up again.

do you have any thoughts on zelda not staying as a dragon? me personally I like it and am very cool with it mostly because I think zelda should get to be happy forever (and because I'm smart enough to know she changed back because of recall and not some ambiguous power of love lmao) but a lot of people seem to dislike that it made the draconification inconsequential?

i think there's like. some valid concerns surrounding inconsequentiality/"curing" the physical problems characters have as a way of giving them a "happy ending" but I think those concerns don't necessarily apply to totk in the way people seem to be applying them, especially irt zelda's draconification and link's arm.

most of the time when the criticism of this "magic cure" trope is applied to media, it's because the trope is used as a cure-all to erase a character's suffering or trauma and make them "normal" again, and often ignores the character development or themes of the story in favor of giving the character a happy ending. I don't think that applies to totk, though, because the "curing" link and zelda experience is both within the realm of possibility given the worldbuilding present in the game (recall could easily have done it, as you mentioned) AND thematically consistent with the rest of the game. One of if not the most important central themes of totk is the idea of failure and second chances. we see a hyrule that has been given a second chance after link's initial failure with the calamity brought it to the brink of destruction. we see characters who were deeply unhappy and entrenched in the shame of their precalamity mistakes like purah and zelda become active, beloved members of their communities. we see the people of lurelin village take back and rebuild their destroyed home. we watch this kingdom and its people make an unprecedented comeback after a century of struggle and ruin.

Similarly, totk's gameplay is LINK's second chance, his comeback from the initial mistake of losing zelda, of specifically being unable to reach her with his injured hand when they fell. The consequences of that--the master sword's corruption, the loss of his arm, and zelda's draconification, are all supposed to SEEM irreversible, because that's how LINK initially sees them. he believes that he doomed both himself and zelda all because of that SINGLE moment in which he wasn't enough, a viewpoint which is obviously left over from the pressure he experienced to perform to an impossible standard of perfection pre-calamity. The story of totk is about deconstructing that belief and proving it wrong. the mistake he made caused harm, but it's never too late to repair things. he can fix the regional phenomena ganondorf causes and rebuild those communities. he can revitalize the master sword. he can GET ZELDA BACK, with his own arm, uninjured and able to reach her this time. no matter how impossible those things may initially seem, no matter the perceived finality of his mistakes and their consequences, there is always hope. there is always a second chance. no one person's single mistake can doom an entire kingdom for eternity. the fate of hyrule was NEVER resting on link's shoulders alone. he was never their final hope. there was always going to be an after. the whole POINT of the draconification and the loss of link's arm is that they AREN'T final. they ARE inconsequential, because they were born of one mistake and ONE MISTAKE IS NOT THE END ALL.

I’m not trying to be overly precious about my fave, but, like, it is canon that Jonathan is useful in a fight. Even in otherwise good fics, I’ll see him characterized as “not a fighter,” especially in contrast to Nancy and Steve, and I’ll be like, “He literally stabbed a guy to death with a pair of scissors. He beat Steve’s ass. He can set shit on fire and perform impromptu surgery with the best of them. What are you talking about.”

ok here's how i feel about dungeon meshi yaoi. i think labru would work in the short term (kabru is obsessed with studying the inner workings of laius' brain and also thighs and laius thinks he's a nice smart boy who listens) but would inevitably drive kabru insane like. he's gonna get tired of watching antscanada videos eventually and break up with him and date some like evil fantasy wall street twink who he thinks he can fix bc like... there's no fixing laius he's already perfect

[thefabelmans2022]

i am always thinking about the katniss and haymitch parallels like.......they both grew up in the seam. they were both reaped at 16, and by then both had no father, a single mother, and a younger sibling. it's not a stretch to imagine that haymitch felt the same responsibility to take care of his family that katniss did. he must've taken tesserae at least once. maybe he even picked up his knife skills from hunting or butchering animals to feed his family, just like she did. he tells katniss there used to be more whippings in district 12 - and that the person caring for the wounded was her mother - maybe he was breaking the rules just as frequently as she was. they were both rebels from the beginning. he survived his games by using the capitol's forcefield to rob them of a true final confrontation, she used the nightlock to rob them of a victor. they were both 16 years old.
