Trump isn't even in office and his clown car are already trying to declare war on canada

The fuck did we ever do to you?? We've been your largest trade partner forever, we've done nothing but support our mutual trade agreement and our open border, and now you're trying to slap our goods with tariffs (which would destroy our already struggling economy) and picking fights with us for no reason?

What the fuck are you gaining from this shit?

Ya know ... a fairly common complaint / critique I have seen thrown at the first osmt san movie is that it didn't show the 18matsus enough -- which i definitely agree to, to some extent -- but specifically complaints about kara being shown the least always baffles me a teeny bit.

I personally think it makes like. a LOT of sense if you think about where the movie's coming from -- the whole point of it is to show how much they used to suppress, but also, how much Karamatsu was talked over and ignored as a youth. I think his absence really nails home how little regard the others had spared for him at the time and how he often went forgotten and ignored ( and also plays into why, aside from red roses, forget me nots are his most common flower association ).

I would say it comes off as a more deliberate choice to feature him as little as possible because even the other brothers barely --or not at all -- remembered how Karamatsu was supposed to be back then. And yes, it's his memory world -- but doesn't that also emphasize the fact? The fact that he felt so isolated and forgotten from his siblings he's barely even present in the world made from HIM???? Like ... ouch, man. That shows you so much without telling you to your face, and makes a pretty good case for Karamatsu trying to suppress that aspect of himself and his personality more than anything; hard to find, hard to talk to, glossed over by all...

Then there was the lying to himself, and that only really made things worse for him in the future. Now he's more fascinatingly closed off than ever ... and only now does it seem like the brothers (at least as of the pizza skit) are realizing how little they do. I'm also of the camp that I believe his season 3 characterization makes a lot of sense post movie, though I know that's a pretty divisive opinion in the fanbase -- but whats clear to me is that he's very much about to burn out similar to ichimatsu's burn out, and he can't keep pretending he's fine and dandy forever.

[our-queer-experience]

a lot of you talk about how tumblr doesnt have content creators because we’re so superior to other sites but the truth is you treat us that way. there are enough people who expect all my time and effort because i present myself as available and yeah. like a content creator, i WILL freak out when im talked down to like i exist to be a replica of youbut new so they can scroll forever. maybe im overreacting. like i said i was on the ledge last week and been haivng emotional flashbacks, but that’s not an excuse and i dont think im being a dick.

the truth is i am just some guy. i blog mostly from my room. i dont make money from this, and im a 24/7 therapist, friend, listening ear, and content sharer and creator.

please. talk to me like im just some guy you ony know from overhearing his conversations. dont snap at me because i wasnt spineless

It's crazy how well-crafted Hadestown is, like there aren't many shows out there that have equally strong messages artistically and politically. What do you think of the balancing of Hades as a character? Personally I love how it's shown that even after his reconnection with Persephone it's his clinging to the existing power structure that leads him to make the deal he does with Orpheus, so it isn't a clear-cut redemption - I think that is what makes it so neither his humanity nor the system he upholds feels hollow.

CRACKS KNUCKLES ok so on a character/thematic/narrative level I'm obsessed with Hades because the political compentary he represents feels so coherent and distinctly recodnizable to like, Figures and Systems Of Power that exist in the world right now

I really really really love how Hades specifically turns to industry because he is *lacking* genuine love/connection/care and using these material comforts trying to fill the void inside him -- "Lover, you were gone so long/ Lover, I was lonesome/ So I built a foundry/ In the ground beneath your feet" -- it feels very similar to how so much of modern life is Being Sold The Idea Of Love And Connection. We too turn to capitalism to replace genuine connection that is lacking in our lives, like how buying and being sold the aesthetics of community is easier than actually creating and being in community. Genuine affection and care vs the feeling of power as you wield it over others.

And Hades doing this only further alienates him from Persephone, and it becomes this vicious cycle of him creating and upholding a system that drives away any actual connection, which then of course only motivates him to Continue Onwards. His "Lover, when you see that glare/ Think of it as my despair for you" with Persephone responding "Lover, what have you become/ Coal cars and oil drums/ Warehouse walls and factory floors/ I don't know you anymore".

And re: Hades' redemption, I think the fascinating thing is he ISN'T redeemed. TO ME!! He gets to the point of redemption and then he turns away, which I think fits really well into the overarching theme of the show, as in, resisting the pull of capitalism feels impossible and often ends in tragedy but we should do it anyway, and also fits the PATTERN of the show, which is people getting to the doorstep of freedom and then turning around.

Specifically, when Orpheus asks "Can we go?" and Hades says "I don't know", that is his redemption point. He wants to help them, but he feels stuck, and trapped in this web he created and sat himself in the middle of. Can he break his own system? And Hades' personal tragedy is he gets SO CLOSE but then the Fates (or like, his own inner dialogue) come in and tempt him away. They make him Doubt -- "If you let him go/ Oh you're a spineless king/ And you'll never get em in line again". He is, at the end of the day, TOO trapped in the system he has created ("Whole damn nation's watching you"), too dependent on the workers he exploits that he doesn't see any other way to live. "That's the way the world is". Hades gets so close to letting them go before he turns around, because he decides that letting them go means letting himself go, and he no longer thinks that is possible.

He does let them try, though. "Give them a rope and they'll hang themselves" he does expect them to fail, because he doesnt himself have hope that another world is truly possible, but he knows Orpheus does. Even as he turns back I feel like he's saying. If you believe another world is possible, prove it. "Show the way so we believe"

And I'm just so obsessed with this sequence because like -- "Show the way so we can see/ Show the way the world could be/ If you can do it, so can she/ If she can do it, so can we/ Show the way" -- the unspoken here is that Hades is watching too, and this is a trial, and a test, and like. He can't break the system. He doesn't know how, he doesn't feel like it's possible. But he's watching, he can't not watch, and so that means like. Orpheus' effort is worth it. His believing is worth it. Even as they all fail, again and again and again, it's worth it.

Forbidden Attraction Part 2: Warnings: Cursing, Violence (nothing to heavy) and emotional distress.

Solo Sikoa X Grace (OC)

Plot: After the bombshell is dropped Solo will reveal his secret to Grace how will she react and what will happen between the two?

Here is part 2 let me know what you guys think?

Thank you for all the love and support. ❤️❤️

PS: I don't listen to Taylor swift but this song that will add for you all to read when you read this popped up on my play list when I was writing this and it fits them so well.

Grace looks up at Jimmy and says through tears.

" What's wrong, what is wrong is you fucking Trinity in my damn car when you knew I was struggling."

"I did not fuck Trinity babe." Jimmy says

" Don't fucking lie to me I saw the video." Grace yells.

" What, What video." Jimmy says nervously

" Solo show him the damn video." Grace says

Solo pulls out his phone and shows Jimmy the video. Jimmy's face turns pale and he looks at Grace and says

" How did you get this, were you following me."

" Dammit Jimmy I wasn't following you I thought you were loyal until today." Grace yells as she walks toward him.

" How the hell did you get the video Grace." jimmy yells

" I didn't get the video solo had it and I am glad he showed it to me." Grace says

Jimmy looks at Solo and yells

" How the hell did you get the video."

" I took the damn video myself." Solo says

" Why would you��" Jimmy starts to say but is interrupted by Jey as he screams

" IT DOESNT MATTER HOW HE GOT THE VIDEO ALL THAT MATTERS IS WHAT YOU FUCKING DID TO GRACE ASSHOLE."

Jimmy looks at Jey with a hurt expression and says

" What I did to her, really Jey she couldn't give me what I needed or wanted so I went To Trinity."

" I gave you everything" Grace yells at him

" No, you didn't when you were struggling and wouldn't even touch me or look at me what the hell was i supposed to do?" jimmy says

" What were you supposed to do, wait for me understand what the hell I was going through support me like a husband is supposed to." Grace says tears streaming down her face.

" AWWW don't cry, you got what you wanted but I don't want you I have a real women now, oh and she's way better than you ever were." Jimmy says

" GET OUT YOU BASTARD." Grace yells getting in his face.

" Bitch this is my house you get out." Jimmy yells

" NO ASSHOLE." Grace says

" Bitch if you don't get out I will make you get out." Jimmy yells

" No I'm not going anywhere asshole." Grace yells

Unexpectedly Jimmy shoves grace down to the ground hard and she falls on her back. Jey walks over to her and gently picks her up and sits her on the couch. He looks at her and says

" Are you okay, Grace hey look at me are you okay."

Grace was staring at the ground tears streaming down her face shocked by the fact that Jimmy actually put his hands on her. She softly says

" I cant believe he just did that."

Jey looks at her and says with an angry voice.

" I got you okay, ill handle his ass."

Jey walks over to Jimmy and punches him hard on the jaw knocking him to the floor. Solo who has been staring at you in a daze shocked by his brothers actions snaps out of it and runs over to where Jimmy is. Solo joins jey in beating down Jimmy. Solo yells at him anger dripping from his voice.

" You asshole we were raised better than that, you don't put your hands on a women especially her."

Jey joins in and yells

" after everything she did for you go sleep with that hoe and then you hit her you are a spineless coward brother."

Grace looks over at the scene and softly says

" Stop."

They do not hear her so she gathers all her strength and yells.

"STOP DAMMIT I SAID STOP."

Jey and Solo immediately stop beating Jimmy and look toward Grace. She looks at Jey and says

" Get him out of my house now."

" With pleasure" Jey say as he grabs Jimmy and literally throws him out of the house.

Now with Jey gone it is only Solo and Grace left in the room. Solo walks over to Grace kneels down in front of her, gently grabs her hands and says.

" Can you please look at me grace."

Grace looks at him tears dry on her eyes. Solo gently brushes his finger over her cheek and says.

" I am so sorry I didn't mean to lose control like that I just lost it."

" Why wouldn't you take his side your his brother and so is Jey." Grace says sadly.

" That man that Jey just threw out of your house is not my brother he's a coward and a bitch." Solo says seriously

Grace pats the spot next to her on the couch and Solo sits down. She looks at his hands and says

" Your bleeding, let me clean it for you."

" No, grace you don't have to." Solo says

" I want to okay." Grace says

Solo nods knowing that arguing with her is not worth it. Grace goes to the bathroom gets her first aid kit and begin to tend to solo wounds. After she is done she looks at Solo and says

" Why would he do that to me, after everything I have been through why is it me? "

" Stop Grace look at me please." Solo pleads

Grace looks at Solo and there is a look in his eyes she's never seen before. He takes her hand gently squeezes it and says

" You did nothing wrong, you are the nicest gentlest women i have met Grace, he's a fool."

" I feel like I'm the fool." Grace says.

" No, I'm the fool." Solo says

" What do you mean your the fool, Solo." Grace says

" I didn't tell you how I felt when I had the chance, I was to scared." Solo says seriously

" What do you mean tell me how you felt." Grace asks curiously.

" Grace, I like you I always have Jimmy knew it and by the time I got the courage to ask you Jimmy already had and I didn't want to be that brother you know." Solo says

" You- You liked me." Grace says

" Yes, I liked you grace I still do I might even….." Solo trails off.

" You might even what?" Grace says

Solo move closer to Grace gently cups her face in his hands and says

" I know this, I like you still do but those feeling have grown and Grace I - I love you."

Grace looks at Solo and her breath hitches at his confession she says nothing for a while. Solo looks sad and starts to get up but Grace grabs his hand and pulls him closer to her. She look up at him a single tear rolling down her cheek and says

" Solo, I I love you to I always have I ….."

Before grace can finish speaking Solo leans in placing his mouth near her ear and he whispers.

" Seems like we were both fools, can I kiss you Grace."

Solo pulls away Grace looks into his eyes and says

"Yes, Yes you can."

Solo leans in and places a soft and gentle kiss on her lips. It is not rushed or filled with desire it is just slow yet passionate like they are pouring out all of the pent up emotions in the kiss. Solo breaks the kiss and puts his hands on her belly and says

" Grace, I love you and I promise you I am gonna be here every step of the way for you and this baby."

Grace looks at Solo and says

" Thank you Solo I love you."

" I love you to." Solo whispers

There story wasn't conventional but it led to a love built on respect and faithfulness even though it came from a Forbidden attraction.

Okay okay okay— not sure how much you care for Amos, but I care for Amos and Micah and love hearing people’s interpretations of them: their childhood, their history, childhood memories they shared, what split them apart, If Micah still cares for Amos all these years later, etc.

This is my first time sending in an ask that could be turned into a brief drabble so I don’t know how this goes, but, feel free to just word vomit your thoughts. Bullet points or written out, anything works, all would make me super happy.

Ever since I heard Micah talk about his family by the campfire in chapter 2 and say this about Amos; 

“What kind of man lives by the SEA? Hm? I ASK YOU! Huh? HUH? The kind of man that gets told where to live by his wife. (insert the most adorably deranged giggling) Ain't no woman never told me nothin’, apart from ‘Make yourself scarce!’ And that suits me about fine…” 

But he says the last And that suits me about fine… in such a dejected, sad lil way and drifts off into silence I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT IT 😩

Okay but my biggest Bell family headcanon is that they were so Winchester coded when they were all together. Micah being the oldest took after his dad and the ‘family business’ and even though he loves Amos he grew to resent him for not only being, how he puts it, a “spineless coward” but because he most likely had to teach and care for him while his dad was busy finding leads on new jobs or just drinking himself into oblivion. 

Micah needs risk, excitement and challenge in his life. And the fact that his little brother was SO wildly different from him// compassionate, cried the first time Micah had him shoot a rabbit. Empathetic, tried to comfort Micah after his father beat him (which I guarantee he was abused -  Held under a way harsher lens than his brother) longed for something more. Amos probably wanted to be a tradesman of some sort, can see him having been OBSESSED with trains when he was little and always wanting to stop and watch them go by, pestering Micah to please please please take the train to the next town instead of riding there. // 

His difference was probably a big disappointment to Micah, but even more so because I think he truly loved and cared for his brother and didn’t want to see him broken the way he was. He pushed him away, mocked and belittled him both because Micah can’t admit he wants those things because he so deeply believes he doesnt deserve them… His father deluded him into thinking there was strength in solitude. And it was his way of telling Amos he wasn’t fit for the life they led, to get the fuck out while he still could. 

In the end, I think it brings Micah a lot of closure to hear Amos made it out and has a family, i like to think the man even shed a tear reading that letter, thinking of the little boy that cried when he killed a rabbit even though they’d been starving for weeks. The boy he practically raised by himself. Thinking of him happy. UGH. 

Also i love the name Amos??? Like what are you, a cookie? it’s SO CUTE! Anyway… Thanks for indulging me in a lil Micah/Amos rant. I love them and I love you for asking about them thank you Meeks!!! BOUNUS REC: Purl_30 writes Micah so well and has a few pre-gang bell fics, one in particular - and the entire reason I fell in love with this damn gunslinger in the first place - is The Survivor ! Amos and Micah Bell II are characters in this fic as well. It’s personally canon for me as Micah’s origin HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!

[grimoiremanifest]

i dunno if im just like unaware or a spineless bleeding heart leftist but it doesnt sit well with me how a lot of the 'louder' progressive praxis seems more concerned with sticking it to the man than it does...actually progressing anything. like yeah sticking it to the man will result in progress, but that desire is based moreso on response and rebellion rather than initiating so its more counteraction than it is proaction. am i worried over nothing

and TO BE CLEAR, this is NOT 'oh, violence bad! if u riot ur as bad as the cops!! dont punch people u disagree with!!' turn-the-other-cheek type of praxis, since that's also more reactive than proactive, just in a different manner than the one outlined. and this isnt dunking on firebomb the walmart people because they dunk on themselves. protest is both a necessary and highly effective tool, and that effectiveness isnt tied to how passive or violent it is. riots and boycotts get shit done together

it's more about the heart-on-your-sleeve liberals who seem to default more on that emotional response, like the 'ooh if we do this those other guys are gonna be so mad' and 'my sin points are lower than yours' like that kind of leftism right? i dont know how to phrase it without sounding like a hive mind believer but that kind of focus on social individualism over everything feels REALLY like. omnipresent in online spaces these days, especially with, y'know. Current events. am i making sense

[hauntedwizardmoment]

can i be mean. and ask u to rank the party members from fave to least fave

SJDLKSGDFHJKS this is SAUR mean omg i cant rank them theyre all my children...

for Me. in terms of "how fun they are to write/think about" the ranking is (fave to least fave):

peregrine - king of being the worst

invidia - jace's bestie i love their interactions

aurora - something so fun about writing a terrible person

dagbert - straight man of the group, he doesnt get Much dialogue but what he does get is really funny

ysvelde - honestly v hard to write bc i have to work to make her voice distinct from jace they have very similar issues and problems

in terms of the "who would you feel safe trapped in an elevator with" litmus test:

ysvelde - she may have no sense of self and uses seeking the approval of others as a substitute for having a personality but she's generally reliable and would help you out of the elevator

peregrine - he's got so many issues and problems but he IS useful in an emergency and good at his job, he could get you out of the elevator with ease

dagbert - he could actually get you out of the elevator if you were stuck in there but he's so big that you risk getting bruised in the process

invidia - could also get you out of the elevator but will act like its your fault that you got trapped in there in the first place

aurora - will also blame you for getting stuck in the elevator and will not help get you out

in terms of best to worst person:

dagbert - he's just a stand-up guy like he's genuinely a good egg

invidia - actually has principles that she believes in that arent actively terrible, her one vice is being very catty which is jace's vice too so it's fine

ysvelde - she's trying really hard to be good and mostly succeeding but if she would get greater amounts of approval and validation for being evil she'd do it in a heartbeat

aurora - girl she's in the harvestmen

peregrine - girl he's in the harvestmen and not even as a genuine believer, hes there because he's too spineless to go against what aurora wants

and jace's ranking of them:

peregrine - love of his life, genuinely he would give it all up for this guy. he's never felt this way about anyone before

invidia - thats bestie!! thats his partner in crime and who he talks shit about the rest of the party with!!

ysvelde - secondary bestie!! its a little weird because they dated for a few weeks and it got way too intense way too fast and they almost got married but thank god that didnt happen. theyre cool now they can laugh about it

dagbert - GREAT lay, not much of a conversationalist but he's hot and doesnt make jace talk about himself beyond what he wants to share

aurora - hates her ass so much, half the reason he started hooking up w peregrine was to spite her. love when jace kind of sucks.

I'm so distraught that there's people out there that fall for da wei's crocodile tears on the stream and going,

"noooo da wei is crying!! 😭 why are you so mean to him! ☹️"

"We must protect da wei from this hateful people, these people is such a lost cause and destroy the game 😞"

"You people is so full of hate!! 🤬".

Dear friends, (/sarc /neg) that is a motherfucking BILLIONAIRE and a FUCKING RACIST OLD MAN. that not just SEXUALIZE WOMEN but also CHILDREN in his oh so lovely games you enjoy! Good GOD they're babying him, maybe it's because he feed these brainwashed people with pretty characters and petty gifts and all that.

also fuck the fellow "boycotters" that says "go f2p guys!!" and then we see them still bought skins, collect hoyo's so called sorry "gifts", and goes "omg thank you hoyoverse for the gifts! we love you! btw stay f2p guys!!! <333" god spineless idiots, i'm so ashamed being in one group with you all.

I'm sorry for venting in your askbox, I don't know where should I go confess my feelings, because there's a lot of the so called "boycotters" running around :"(

Do not even get me started on the whole “omg guys da Wei is crying!!!”

Girl those are complete crocodile tears, stfu- you and da Wei will be FINEEEEE TRUST. TRUST. Bro has to approve most of this shit before it gets sent out, like he’s GOTTA- and the shit that has gotten sent out before has been sexualizing women and children- like you said!! So it’s like girl… girl he knows what he’s doing, HE JUST DOESNT CARE?? Bro if you don’t want you and your employees to be viewed as incompetent- then maybe DONT BE INCOMPETENT 🥰 OR RACIST 🥰 OR PEDOS 🥰

Omg… I’ve seen a few people on twt do that being like “guys make sure to be f2p!!” And then recently being like “wowww I just bought nilou skin!!” “Wowww I just spent money on Emilie banner!!” Stfu go away. Go AWAY. Hold yourself to the same standard you hold others to.

Like I’m happy for hyv’s “gifts” and optimization shit in the upcoming patch- but like 😭 girl that doesn’t mean I’m gonna spend money, they’re optimizing it so you don’t have to spend AS MUCH money- like good lord. Girl I’ll be saving for most of natlan if not all of it 🫡, maybe pull a character or two, but I’m not spending SHIT. Completely just… those people are boycotting for show, which is disgusting as fuck- and I hope their computer breaks.

Don’t be sorry for venting, it’s all good!! Gives me an excuse to messily ramble on about how much I agree with all of your point BAHAHAH

WIP Hand Me The Shovel

Nino is worried about Adrien. He's been working on some mysterious project for some time now for every waking moment of the day for months now. The few times that Nino sees him, Adrien always looks, paler, skinnier, and with darker circles under his eyes, and each time, Adrien rushes him away. Then, one day, Adrien called, and invites Nino on a camping trip. And Nino, of course, says yes. Together, they journey far out to the country side until they reach a small, but luxurious cabin with a waterfront view. As they unpack their belongings and prepare a nice dinner, Adrien remains quiet, always responding to Nino’s questions, but never actually SAYING anything. It's beyond maddening for Nino. Until, finally, a breakthrough. During dinner, Adrien nervously brings up the idea of going for a hike to test out a new gadget he'd bought. It isn't like Adrien to buy things on a whim, and it really isn't like him to be so nervous. Deep down, Nino knows that this isn't a normal hike. Yet he loves Adrien. So he says yes. The next day, Nino’s suspicions are confirmed when Adrien pulls out a device that Nino’s never seen before and starts scanning every bisible inch of dirt they can find, backtracking frequently. Half-joking, Nino asks Adrien if its a metal detector or something, and Adrien gives a rueful smile back before saying its something like that. He doesn't elaborate, and he clams up even tighter for the rest of the search. That is until, he lets out a gasp.

Its part relief and part resignation, but Nino doesnt quiet understand why. Then, Adrien tells Nino the terrible truth. "This is my grave," he tells Nino. "Adrien Agreste's grave". If Nino were a younger man, he might've dismissed Adrien as being crazy or a liar, but living in Paris under the reign of teeror that was Hawkmoth does things zo a person. So instead Nino asks Adrien if he's a ghost. "No", Adrien chokes out, shaking his head. "A sentimonster" "Okay", Nino says, nodding slowly. He can handle this. He knows senti-monsters, more than he knows ghosts. "How long-?" "Since I was 8," Adrien admitted, "or he was 8? I dunno. It's so complicated. I mean, where does he start and I begin?" Nino nods, pretending to understand. Then, faking a calm he doesn't feel, he asks, "What happened?" Adrien shakes his head. "He was swimming in the lake, and...and he drowned. Mom and Dad, they didn't want any questions. So....so they put him here, and they just went home and pretended it never happened." Adrien starts crying. "They made up some fake story about Adrien being sick, and then Mom started doing experiments with the Peacock. There were so many, she'd made herself sick doing it, but...she made me." 'Maybe? Or maybe it someone else! I...I don't even know if I was the one she replaced him. Maybe she made us over and over and over again, just brand new dolls in a line to give the illusion of growing up! Maybe she threw us away every time we were too big a disappointment!" Adrien threw his hands up in frustration. "I've always been a coward! A spineless little lapdog, and I know part of it was because my Dad- No, my father who, by the way-" Adrien laughed, sounding a little hysterical, "was not a hero, but actually HAWKMOTH! Had my amok! So, I was under freaking Hawkmoth's control, but what about everyone else?" 'How much of me was just designed to be a people pleaser? How much of me was made to make my parents feel good and how much was actually what he-" Adrien gestures angrily towards the grave, "was like?" Nino is quiet for a moment. "That Adrien isn't my friend. He's not the one i met in school. He's not the one I hung out with every day in class. He's not the one who listened to all my music." "Don't you get it?" Adrien asks bitterly. "That Adrien doesn't exist. I'm just a bunch of commands for a friggin' psycho!" "You helped with the Rebellion." "I was probably a spy." "You tried to curb Chloe's worst impulses." Adrien laughs, "Yeah, look where that got us." "You care about me." Nino says softly. "Even though your dad hated me, you still love me. That's all you. That has to count for something." Adrien’s silent for a moment. "He was a bad guy." "The worst." "And no one knows what he did. They all think he was some hero! Heck, I thought he was a hero until I found some of my mom's old journals, and even then, I didn't believe it. I mean, who would?" 'But I double checked everything she said, and I found most of the people she talked about, and I put together names and faces and dates and things, and everything lined up...but...their own son? I had to know."

💞 Belial, what doesnt turn you on?

In the spirit of Sexual Sunday, feel free to send 💞 + any dirty questions you may have for them on anon, and they HAVE to answer honestly!

Belial reclines with a languid, predatory ease, his crimson eyes glinting as they trace Titania’s tall, otherworldly silhouette, sensing she’s no mere mortal but savoring the mystery. The air around him carries a faint whiff of brimstone, woven with the heady musk of his presence, like a dark promise teasing the senses. His lips twist into a slow, razor-sharp grin, dripping with sadistic delight. “Well, well, aren’t you a curious one,” he purrs aloud, his voice a silken drawl, each word slinking through the air like velvet laced with venom. “Asking me what doesn’t get my blood racing? That’s a bold move for someone… unusual like you.”

He leans closer, the soft rustle of his coat a hushed sin, his gaze pinning her like a butterfly under glass, peeling back her enigma with every second. “Since you’re so eager, I’ll indulge you,” he says, his tone low and teasing, coiling around her like a shadow. “What doesn’t turn me on? Dullness, darling—souls too tame to bite back, too spineless to make me work for it. No fire, no defiance, just… nothing.”

His grin sharpens, a flash of teeth as he tilts his head, his breath a warm flicker against the air, tinged with iron and dark honey. “I live for the thrill—the way someone with your kind of spark might squirm, fighting to keep their pride before they melt under me. Without that edge, it’s just… empty.”

He straightens slightly, eyes narrowing with a playful, dangerous gleam, as if daring her to push further. “Now, you,” he murmurs, voice sinking to a velvet rasp that grazes her senses like a knife’s caress. “What leaves you cold, hmm? Something tells me you’ve got a story or two behind those eyes.”

Richter (Ricky) Cousland. -> Human. Sword & Board Warrior. He / Him. Bisexy. -> Lawful Good/Stupid to Neutral Good pipeline (still stupid) -> Romance: Morrigan but there was a lil something homosexual happening with Alistair for a bit if i'm not mistaken. In the end pragmatic and probably evil coochie won out sorry brother. -> Meat? There's heft. Really big. but hes like shy about it hes like omg? am i packing 12 inches of uncut beef? whaaat. ermmm. do u still like me? 😳

Ricky is ignorant, naive, a little classist, dumb, self-sacrificing, trusting, loyal, brave, spineless in his beliefs cus he thinks he's stupid, and will trust people in positions of power more often than he should. He likes it when people tell him what to believe cus then he doesn't have to do any hard thinking. This changes a lil bit in that he loses faith in a lot of the institutions around Ferelden and the greater world but he still doesn't like to do any big deep thinking about stuff <3 He's also a deadbeat dad and Idt he knows how to parent Kieran very well lmao. he used 2 be rlly uptight abt his appearance/cleanliness until oggie called him a stupid rich pussy and now hes like eh whatever abt being waist deep in hurlock cunt or whateever

Batman Hawke. -> Human. Mage. Iforget what kinds there r in da2. She/Her. -> Chaotic Neutral to Chaotic Good probably probably but shes reluctant to do "good" shit cus she doesnt really want to deal w ppl being like omg youre ms nice woman cus she's a bit of a self-hating poor who will not examine her freshly minted privilege ): I wouldn't say she's easy to manipulate thru appeal to pathos but if you're annoying enough with your sob story she will probably Consider. -> Romance: all of them like i literall had anders t posing in the back of the hawke estate while isabela and hawke rawdogged in the next room over lmaoaaa....Like canonly id say its like BatmanxFenris and Fenris and Batman are also with Isabela and Isabela is ALSO with Merrill. anders is there. idt batman actually recruited anders i think he got all intense on her and she was like damn lets ball ok but then he got too extreme and she was like dude im literally; strugling to care abt mage rights rn can you put a lid on it and then he was just following her around to mansplain why shes wrong. fair. she learned like nine new slurs from him. -> Meat? Biggest. like so big shes like which staff do u need tonight babygirl 😂😎 heyoooo and then gets left at the hanged man

Batman likes money and having stuff. <3 She likes beaing rich but she's really tacky about it. shes grubby and gross and is like im bringing wolfcuts BACK adn its like a shitty mullet <3 she goes into situations like ok explain why this involves me? and leaves while u r talking about ur missing wife or whatever. real "i dont want to talk abt politics at the table" type of shit shes on. i havent thought too hard about batman hawke but shes like passively suicidal but very cool about it and is 6ft and buff and has huge boobs and huge meat. she wants to be mr steals your girl but goes in for the high five at the worst possible time and doesnt realize shes actually the biggest failgirl of all time. i cant stress this enough she is NOT cool. "fake it till u make it" shes saying as shes applying 50lbs of eyeliner in the morning and shes crying but doesnt think u can see and she lies abt why her eyes r all red and says shes just smoking pot again. she should just be working at a waffle house but shes here.

Kronk of House Trevelyan. -> Another Human. Big Surprise. Rift Mage. -> Lawful Neutral to Lawful Evil pipeline but probably he was always a schemer and a social climber. -> Romance: Josephine and Dorian do not make me choose between them but if I'm being honest I don't know who'd want him. probably he fronts as way more kind and charming than he actually is and i DO think when kronk is loyal to someone he is ferociously so. but it takes a lot like that dude had half the inquisition hate his pussy so bad lmao. -> Meat? Yeah He's Got It but also if Kronk could cease to be a person and become, like, god? he'd do it. then meat wouldnt matter. (hes on some crazy copium) Actually he's thick as hell and chunky and all and is built like a brick wall but im going to be brave and say he's probably not packing a crazy amount like ricky and batman and if they ever found out theyd tease him abt it cus hes such an asshole lol

Kronk does bestieship with Vivienne and would destroy people's lives to see his allies in positions of power. he'd declare himself divine if it was possible. he's a self-hating mage and loves the circle. he doesn't necessarily have Faith in the circle OR in institutions but he wants to make it so they benefit Him and doesnt gaf about if theyre hurting other ppl who aren't in his #crew. (his crew is very small cus most ppl cannot stand this dude btw). he threatens to make ppl tranquil for the fuck of it and follows thru most of the time. he'll lie and cheat to make his way to the top but he wont get his own hands dirty <3 he loves knowledge and learning and power <3 he doesn't actually care abt money but he cares about status cus it will create avenues for him to pursue evil magic or whatever the fuck this dude wants. type of guy whos like yeah world domination sounds fun i could do that then he's in control and hes like FUckckkkkkkkkkkk im so bored. ok public execution time! or something. mostly he's a nihilist and doesnt have faith in his fellow man. he wants all the secrets of magic revealed to him <3 he doesnt like templars but hes like fine whatever we can deal if they wanna keep all other mages (NOT ME) under their thumb. "circles are great but u wont catch ME going back to mine!" type of guy. i resent that inquisition suggested the inquisitor was a huge Hawke fan cus kronk would fucking hate her new money ass. like shes just so stupid about things. ricky hates this dude btw their first meeting would come to blows and i think he was like morrigan can u just blow this dude Uppppppppp and she was like erm no. we cannot blow up the inquisitor and ricky was like farkkkkk ok. i just dropped kieran on his head again btw honey what do i do ):

Tbh where are my hien fans at # hienhive her name being naka (as in nakamoto) seems so loaded abt what kind of expectations been placed on her growing up + how shes driven n brash n speaks her mind n is unsympathetic to others bc she just keeps winning 😔 shes such a fun foil to shuro whos meek n spineless n kinda halfhearted abt shit but more capable of introspection … really takes a village to keep an unfair system going… or maybe its more proper to say a robust system operates by incorporating all kinds of ppl within it . Its fun that she doesnt seem to have thought that much abt power and her place in it… what did she mean by i always figured me and toshiro would end up like maizuru and toshitsugu (in an on and off affair that makes everyone uncomfortable and has a serious lack of boundaries and love that has long soured but neither can cut it off and kill it for real) but my former bestie just hasnt made the moves yet… what gives?!? In her own way, shes just rolling with everyones expectations of her too LOL theyre similar on the outside (stoic efficient warrior types) but theyre pretty different when u get to know them but u can still tell they grew up together
