"Just do as you're told," Mogget said firmly. "Think of yourself as Abhorsen's sworn sword-hand, if it makes you feel better, though in this present era, you'll find common sense is more important than honor. "Very well", Touchstone muttered, humbly. He stood up and put on the underclothes and shirt, but couldn't get the trousers past his heavily muscled thighs. "There's a kilt and leggings in one of the chests back there," Mogget said after watching Touchstone hopping around on one leg, the other trapped in too-tight leather."

ya'know what's f**ked up? the fact that I STILL get chikaita brainrot even though i haven't viewed, touched, or interacted with ANY kind of A3 media in what feels like years? when did they stop updating the EN servers? it was before that even. and yet despite this itaru and chikage live in my brain rent free tending to the chikaita brainworms in my brain content garden. i cannot escape them and their messed up relationship.

bat/ao thoughts? bat/ao thoughts.

the way ao starts acting more like the bat the more paranoid she becomes is SO good. i love thinking that the reason why the bat kept sparing ao's life was because she saw her old self in ao's eyes: a scared kid trying to act tough to prevent anyone from ever hurting her again.

of course, neither of them would ever want to admit that they're more alike than they seem. ao reminds the bat of her own weakness; that painful, ugly part of herself that she's crushed down time and again, but still hasn't managed to truly get rid of. it's hard to look at her sometimes. (the irony of being unable to finish off someone so weak- a reflection of the coward the bat used to be- is not lost on her.)

the realization would haunt ao as well. she would be horrified to think that the bat used to be someone just like her-- and maybe still is, deep down. but when she makes eye contact with the bat, she can't shake the sense that she's looking at what she herself could become.

ao would end up constantly rationalizing all of her more dubious actions (and her willingness to kill/fight in general) to try to convince herself that they have nothing in common. she can't bear the thought that she and her abuser are two sides of the same coin.

unfortunately, this anxiety makes her even more prone to being exploited-- since the bat knows where ao's fear comes from, she knows exactly which threads to tug at to make ao's psyche unravel. and no matter what ao does, she cannot chase the bat's words out of her head. she may be physically strong enough now to hold her own against the bat, but mentally, she's still as fragile as she was back in their monzenbashi days. still the same girl getting yanked around on a chain.

as far as the romantic aspect of it goes, ao has to be at least a little into the bat. even if the bat terrifies her, maybe ao thinks she's kind of cool or handsome every now and then. there is that scene in ao's MSS where she says that she's terrified of robbing someone's future away, implying that she never killed the bat because some part of her believed the bat could change... it's kinda cute (and a bit sad) that ao must have seen something in her that was worth saving.

(ao would try to ignore these feelings, though. she hates the bat for everything she's done, and she'd hate herself even more for falling in love with the girl who caused her and janomiya to live in fear for so many months. what would the bat think if she knew? what would janomiya think? ao promised she'd save these girls from ever being exploited again. she already feels like she's betraying herself; she can't betray them too...)

the bat sparing ao's life once again, skin prickling at the possibility that she's doing this because ao has somehow managed to get into her heart... she tells herself that she won't be so soft next time, but that's just a lie to make herself feel less pathetic.

it scares her as much as it angers her. she's worked so hard to keep her guard up, never letting anyone in for fear that they'll use this closeness to hurt her-- yet somehow, weak, pitiful ao of all people managed to make a crack in her armor. the bat hates feeling this way, and she hates herself for being foolish enough to slip up and allow herself to get attached to someone. so she's left unable to progress in either direction, too paranoid to let ao closer, but too afraid to finish her off and forget it all...

bad takes of a... certain flavor really turned me off of 🦇🐍 for a while, but now that i've completely disengaged from that side of the fandom, i've started to enjoy it a lot more. i Love thinking about how the parallels between the bat and ao would affect their dynamic, auuuugh

me, 10 seconds later: the Greywaren mind meld was sooo stupid and the worst part of it is that device Could have been implemented without it feeling like a total cop out if it was say, characters having an actual argument/conflict in some type of dream space, alternate version of reality each others memories etc. if we were actually tracking them through all that and not just “they were wanted…” as the resolution … the actuality of it was just lazy.

ARTHUR “ART” DONALDSON

NAME: arthur “art” donaldson

AGE: 30

SEX: male

D.O.B: july 13, 1993

ORIENTATION: unlabeled

OCCUPATION: tennis player

FAMILY: born to george and kayla donaldson, both alive. no siblings. married to tashi donaldson & has one daughter, lily donaldson. partners and children are verse dependent.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: blonde hair, blue eyes. skinny but has muscle. tall and lanky. typically wearing some sort of gym clothing or just a t-shirt and shorts with sneakers.

EDUCATION: graduated high school and attended the local college for sports marketing before becoming interested in tennis and deciding to join the local team.

RELIGION: agnostic

ALIGNMENT: neutral good

ZODIAC: cancer

PERSONALITY:

he’s always been a little bit of a pushover, y’know?

determined. people pleaser but not a pushover. witty. overachiever. falls in love very easily. a little bit guarded.

HISTORY:

Arthur Donaldson was what everyone wants their son to be. Happy, outgoing, charming. He was pretty much the golden child of his family. And considering the fact that he had no siblings, it was easy enough to get the title. He just needed to worry about keeping it.

He graduated high school at the top of his class and went to the local college with the intention to study sports marketing. By chance, he happened to join the school’s tennis team and he fell in love with the sport almost instantly. There was another boy on the team by the name of Patrick and the two quickly became unstoppable. There were rumors of them dating, but the no one ever found out if they were true or not. The boys didn’t care. They were just happy to have a friend that cared about tennis as much.

They remained friends all throughout college and into their adult lives. And then they met Tashi. She was a rising tennis star and both boys may have fallen a little bit in love. Patrick dated her when they were young but it was Art that ended up marrying her. Their friendship fizzled out after that. Tashi had gotten an injury years prior that took her out of the tennis scene, but Art had decided to compete for her. He just hadn’t known his competition would be Patrick, and he certainly hadn’t known that his wife would start seeing Patrick again.

verses

the golden boy of the town//verse - pre canon. art growing up and becoming an independent kid. he’s top of his class all through high school and goes on to maintain good grades in college. he meets patrick and develops a passion for tennis that continues throughout his life.

it’s not just tennis//verse - canon. patrick and art are up and coming tennis players who happen to meet the woman who would eventually become art’s wife. she’s patrick’s girlfriend first, though. an injury during a match takes her out of the tennis scene completely and she and art agree that he’ll compete in her place. neither of them were expecting his competitor to be her ex-boyfriend. neither of them were expecting her to start seeing him again.

put a wrecking ball through the front door//verse - post canon. art and tashi have divorced. he has custody of lily and he’s trying to put his life back in order. he doesn’t know if it’s working or not. but he’s trying and he thinks that’s all that matters.

we’re all guilty of something//verse - art/patrick verse. this verse is of my own devising and if anyone wants to write something in this verse, please ask! i’m always up for it but just know that it’s a very toxic, unhealthy relationship and i prioritize your comfort over anything else. patrick and tashi have been dating for about three months. art is trying to be happy for them. it’s hard, though. especially because patrick keeps coming to him and asking for sex. art’s not the best at saying no, and despite the fact that he knows cheating is wrong, he’s always had a thing for patrick. and if tashi never finds out, it’s fine, right? they keep this up for the whole time that patrick and tashi are dating. art feels terrible about it but he keeps quiet and says nothing. and then patrick and tashi break up. and she and art are going out. and he doesn’t know what to do, so he just doesn’t do anything. and now it’s been six months and art has realized that he’s pretty much nothing more than a glorified cheerleader. and he doesn’t want to be. he knows he’s a people pleaser but he also knows that he’s not a pushover and he’s sick of being treated like one. he doesn’t really do anything at first, but patrick comes to him with the offer of sex (like always) and art, despite knowing (like always) that cheating is wrong and awful and terrible, agrees. after about a month of this, he realizes that this isn’t better than his relationship with tashi. it’s worse. it’s so much worse. but he can’t leave, because leaving means going back to tashi and he can’t do that. he can’t stay with patrick, either. so he goes back to tashi and tries his best to cut off all contact with patrick. this works for a while and then patrick is his competition and art is experiencing all of the feelings he’d felt before. against his better judgment, he goes back to patrick, only to find out that tashi did the same. he doesn’t know what to think. was he just being lead on? and if he was, why? he keeps seeing patrick and he suffers in silence. he can’t tell tashi about it and he can’t talk to patrick, either. so he just suffers in silence and alone, taking out all his emotions on the court (and sometimes in the bedroom)

so what i’m hearing is that he’s crazy//verse - any and all interactions with muses that do not exist in the challengers universe. this includes fandomless ocs. it does not include challengers ocs.

"I wish ao3 would let me-"

It probably does, you just gotta learn how to do it.

"I wanna see fics for only my opt"

Go to either fandom tag or your ships tag, (if you're doing fandom tag you have to add your ship in the 'relationship' section),go to fliters (mobile) or the right hand side (desktop), go to the 'search within results' area and put in otp:true just like that click 'sort and filter' And it'll pull up all fics with just your otp.

(EDIT: if you wanna do this but still have other parings try otp:false instead of otp:true)

"I wanna sort by _____ not 'Date updated'"

Go to 'filters' or right, theirs a drop down and you can change it to 'author' 'title' 'date posted' ect their are more options. Pick one, click 'sort and filter'

"I don't wanna see /reader"

Filter or Right, go to 'search within results' type in -/reader like that, click 'sort and filter'. No more /reader

"I don't want explicit works"

You know where we're going Right or filter. 'Exclude' section. 'Ratings' click the box that says 'explicit'

Obviously if people don't tag shit correctly it's not gonna work but yeah you just gotta learn how the tagging works. For better tutorials go to TikTok and search 'ao3 tutorials' you can do just about everything.

F1Wags Carlos Sainz and Y/N arriving at the paddock for the Barcelona Grand Prix. This is the first time the couple are seen in public after recently confirming their relationship (after secretly dating for one year). I wonder how this will go down after Max’s insta story a few days about Y/N caused some drama.

F1world Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen were spotted having, what seems, a serious conversation ahead of the Barcelona Grand Prix. This comes after Carlos and Max’s ex-girlfriend, Y/N, confirmed they’ve been in a relationship for the last year. Max had an outburst and posted a story of Y/N holding flowers reminiscing on their relationship which he deleted after a few minutes. The drivers seemed annoyed and Carlos at some point walked away from the Red Bull driver.

[yarrayora]

Idk how to explain properly, but I’m a really big fan of the dynamic you portray between Marcille and Falin. I’ve always loved . idk how to say.. divorce? trouble-in-paradise? arcs/portrayals that look at problems in otp, and yours is super interesting. Sorry if this is weird just wanted to say :)

not weird at all! im flattered, thanks!

i wasnt really into farcille at first, mostly i was just impressed an f/f ship managed to be the fandom's no1, basically proving that when two female characters in a mostly male dominated cast are allowed to bond with each others and be their own characters people will latch on to them

mostly though aro touden siblings is still my no1 and even back then i didnt care about shipping because any type of romantic relationship in dunmeshi is less interesting than the potential of political intrigue the worldbuilding set up (yes, even chilchuck's failing marriage is less interesting to me than how living in the dungeon was safer for the orcs than being neighbors to human civilization) (shocking, i know)

but it all changed when i saw the daydream hour about marcille thinking falin looks cute in feminine clothing while falin herself is obviously uncomfortable with it

i can't sleep. i have to think about this. i have to think about how it's their first love and their first relationship and one is going in blind while the other set up her expectations based on a harlequin romance novel. they are NOT in the same wavelength at all and neither of them are particularly good at communicating their intention, with falin who grew up a convenient kid because she thought it was the least she could do for her family and marcille who frankly speaking was used to being treated as someone superior back at the magic school

thank god kabru exists because who else is going to give them a real advice for their very real relationship? chilchuck will be like "okay just break up" while not seeing the mirror to his own relationship with his runaway wife. senshi, wise as he is, is never in a romantic relationship. laios would be like :((( you guys are fighting? and gets stressed out on his own which makes it even more stressful to the girls. namari is like. "i, uh, please talk to kabru."

anyway theres also the bonus comic about falin inviting marcille to watch daltian clan's opera adaptation and while there is something to say about marcille thinking the humans playing elves doesn't fit her aesthetic (and the difference of societal expectations of dressing up as a different race in dunmeshi universe compared to in ours) all i can think of is that in modern day au where daltian clan has a movie adaptation marcille has a tumblr blog where she posts Hate on the daltian clan movie tag and calling it criticism which it is but also not the place, girl, go to rotten tomatoes for that

falin also has a tumblr and she and marcille had no idea the other is a tumblr user. falin made a post like "just watched daltian clan with my gf i get why shes really obsessed with it now" and marcille, against her better judgement replies to the post like "really sorry that you were misled by your girlfriend like that, you should read the novels instead, it's way better."

laios who sees falin looking shocked at her phone asks whats up and then after receiving the answer says "wow sounds like a real jerk! just block them"

anyway thats my modern day farcille when there's no high fantasy problems involved
