scaramouche didn’t want freedom from ei. i wish more people understood this. yes, ei's intentions were pure, but i think the literal god of freedom said it best. what is freedom if a god forces it onto you? if ei had simply asked scaramouche what he wanted, we wouldn’t have “scaramouche” at all. but ei would simply never ask someone else what they want for their own fate, at least not at that point in her life. thats the whole point to ei’s arc. she believes she knows best as a god, and because of that she hurts so many people around her by being so stupid stubborn. she made a mistake, and scaramouche doesn’t owe her forgiveness, even if we would all like to see them hold hands and be family, in the actual context of the game i think it would be so unsatisfying and totally out of character (for scaramouche as he is presently) to forgive her. you can see in his one (1, which i will admit is not alot lol) voiceline about her that he holds contempt still for what she did. and he’s right in that.

Everything is connected, and nothing is what it seems.

"We don't need to do anything. We can just be."
Happy bi/pan visibility day (it's everyday for me). Also a sprinkle of ace and a dash of survivor and to top it all off- other expressions of intimacy, affection & connection taken seriously. I'm doing an Astarion origin playthrough and I ship him with Karlach like FedEx, your honor.

have realized that while i am not a fan necessarily of "people meet and immediately fall in love" i am a fan of "people meet and are immediately obsessed with each other." the love can come later but the absolute fixation should be immediate

your little blurb turned whole ass fic ??? AMAZING BEAUTIFUL LIFE CHANGING WRITING
I’m not even kidding I loved it so much and if you’re up for it , maybe a part 2 ?? idk I loved it though !!
ooh baby this has been sitting in my inbox collecting dust for far too long.
thank you so much for sending me this message, I had so much fun writing that piece so I'm overjoyed that people seem to be having as much fun reading it as I did creating it. it's truly my baby.
I definitely want to write a part two, and I've gotten a good handful of comments asking for one, so it will absolutely be happening. I'm currently in the throes of finals season (I've written two rather sizable papers just this week and I'm far from finished), and right after that I'm promptly shifting into "moving out of my dorm" mode. So part two is coming, but she's going to have to stew for a little while longer. Believe me, I wish I could cite fanfic writing as an excuse for an extension, but I doubt my profs would be pleased with me.
Side note: I also got my first request! It's also been sitting in my inbox for a whiiiiile, but I will get around to writing it. I am looking into creating a more robust requesting system; character lists, rules, etc. (I was waiting to hit 100 followers to do it but after my next week of hell I might just set it up anyways). So y'all have that to also look forward to!

The dynamic in Rise between the rest of the team and Leo is. so fucking funny. Because like you've got these three extremely talented individuals who all seem like perfectly reasonable people at first glance, right, but then if you squint hard enough you realize they're actually all batshit insane (affectionate) and the clown boy standing behind them is secretly their common sense.
Clown boy will occasionally put himself and the others in danger to Prove Himself or Prove Someone Wrong (see Minotaur Maze and the movie) but like otherwise... i think people forget Leo's overwhelmingly the voice of reason in most situations?
Raph, Mikey, and Donnie are all incredibly powerful boys with very specific skill sets. They are also, as a direct result of this, the WORST decision-makers on god's green earth lmao. When presented with a problem, Raph will smash, Donnie will blow shit up, and Mikey will razzmatazz. They will all run straight toward death with the same oblivious enthusiasm of a dog about to run straight into a screen door. None of them realize this and all of them think they are Extremely Good At Problem-Solving.
And the guy cursed with the common sense to realize this is literally the LAST person anyone would expect.
When you look closely, the entirety of Rise is actually a chronicle of Leo trying to find new and creative ways to keep this team of superpowered fools alive while simultaneously white-knuckling his Cool Fun Guy persona so the others don't realize he's secretly the Boring Responsible One. Haha, you know what would be Cool and Fun, guys? Not going after the Spine Breaking Bandit lol. Getting home before the sun goes up lol. Evacuating that civilian lol. Not telling the guy dangling me off a roof "you won't, no balls" lol.
The sacred struggle of every iteration of Leonardo is thanklessly wrangling the most trigger-happy siblings in the world, and Rise Leo has not escaped it. He just does an occasional shenanigan to avoid detection and his brothers fall for it every time.

Could I request Medic having The Mom Grip on Scout’s shoulder after the speedy moron almost let a mercenary secret slip while they weee getting groceries?
Three Europeans and two Americans walk into a grocery store in New Mexico.
I hope this is the right meme.
More silliness below.
This comic is the antithesis of the "wtf is a kilometre" joke.
The faces they make when they can't quite identify the type of brown bread in the bread aisle.
You don't know how [insert nationality here] you are until you go overseas and things are different.
Spy obviously has no problems with pretending to know how much a gallon of milk is, he just peeks into his conversion chart notes, pretending it's his shopping list.
I want to think Heavy is completely fine with having to readjust to a new unit system, he just eyeballs most practical things anyways by holding them up and mumbling about how they approximately weigh like a chicken or his kettle bell etc. He's always been living in practical ignorant bliss.
Medic has a peer reviewed meltdown the first time he realises there's no uniformity in "a cup of ____" because every object has different densities. He's diligent about memorising the conversion rates for ounces, pounds, the most common things etc., and recovers ok. He goes through the same stages of grief rage when he finds out about distances and lengths.
Just remember four inches are 10.16 cm and pray no one asks you to specify anything bigger than inches.
Everyone does a mental victory lap when they manage to guess how much Celsius the weather is because they keep forgetting it's Celsius*5/9+32=Fahrenheit, Engineer reminds them patiently.
The true victories are the correct temperature guesses we've made along the way.
One time, a friend asked me if I actually knew how much a tablespoon of flour was in gramms to convince me that metric users also make use of volume based units without thinking about them. But little did she know a heaped spoonful of 405 flour is about 15g and a level tablespoon is 10g.
They claim Oolong just tastes better when it's boiled to 80°C exactly with a Bunsen burner.
You only asked for one scene but somehow I came up with a bunch of other things. This post was drawn across 2 months so the artstyle is all over the place. Thanks for your ask!
