Watching Aventurine in the 2.1 quest like oh. Ooh. I see. Therapy.
I mean he lived through two(?) genocides, everyone he loves dying, human trafficking (???!!!) and being out on trial for killing the guy who bought him and he's like. Let me just help save this whole planet of people who don't care about me at all. Two death sentences under the hood.
People keep comparing him to Kaveh which I get but I'm sorry they are not even in the same book let alone on the same page like Kaveh has normal problems and Aventurine just talked to his past and future and walked into a black hole like he was heading to a fucking holiday home.

I've always assumed each umbrella to be a stellaron hunter but did we ever get confirmation that there are only 4 ? By my logic there would be 2 extra ones (two ppl in the distance I'm not sure we should count)
Also idc what anyone says it's not a theory it's my delusion that believes the cat is elio 100%
Why do I believe that? Cuz stellaron hunters are basically the akudama drive's plot! A bunch of criminals are assembled to do the bidding of talking high technology artificial cat who's being controlled by (spoilers but if ykyk - it's similar) and in exchange they get paid :3

WIP wednesday
I was tagged by @chadhunkler @archaiclumina and @icehearts for this, ty for the tag! I've seen people post writing snippets for this, but I'm gonna showcase a new oc I've been cooking instead:
meet pelleas myste, a former ishgardian knight that made the mistake of falling in love with a warrior nun who took a lifelong vow of celibacy
since I've reworked tauvane's backstory to something I'm personally satisfied with, I decided to do the inevitable and remake achille's dad entirely to address timeline and consistency issues for the final time, which means any lore I posted about him is now retconned (I'll figure out what to do with takami someday lol)
not tagging anyone so this is an open tag. feel free to jump in!
random wip facts I conjured up for him under the cut:
was an angry and bitter orphan from the brume that managed to eke out a living. he had no immediate family other than pet birds he kept for company
joined the temple knights at 17 to get out of poverty. he proved to be a prodigy and rose through the ranks fairly quickly as a lancer, but he could shoot a bow just as good
sole survivor of a dragon ambush, and his entire unit was killed. he lost his left eye and was grievously injured in the attack
tauvane and her swordsisters arrived too late to save his comrades, but they took pelleas back to their convent in order to save his life. he spent the next few years in recovery, but he was unable to wield a lance as proficiently as he did before the slaughter
had a massive crush on tauvane that lead to him falling in love with her. his relationship with tauvane was slow to take root; tauvane found him insufferable when he was able to walk and talk again. pelleas would tease and irritate tauvane because she was 'as stiff as a corpse' with no sense of humor
tauvane eventually abandoned her vows to run away with him, something that's akin to heresy in the order. they eventually settled in the eastern highlands, started a farm, and had their only child, a boy named achille
pelleas didn't live long; he was executed for heresy—which was false—when achille was still a baby. tauvane fled west with achille to avoid persecution from the order, but in the end she had to give achille to chiron when he accepted a bounty to kill her. tauvane, in her guilt-ridden rage and grief, swore to take revenge against ishgard for taking away the only person who truly loved her. her crusade against the city-state is in pelleas' memory

So one of the things that drives me crazy about Internet discourse is the rise of like, rules, regarding how to be mean. Have you seen them? Things like, never insulting a person's weight or their appearance or a speech impediment or something, and babe I don't know how to tell you this but that's rules for how to be nice. You're not supposed to comment on those things because you don't want to hurt the person you're talking about or give them a complex. But 9 times out of 10 these are commented on videos or storytimes about people fighting- they're trying to hurt each other, and it's just so fucking weird to see people trying to police their fights in the comments like, "No don't do that highly effective thing that will definitely hurt your opponent and win the fight!" like that isn't their actual objective. "I know that person just did something horrible to you and crossed a million lines and ruined your life, but if you make fun of how they look they're going to feel bad." Yeah. Read the room. That's the point.
Anyway I'm not actually advocating for you to go fight someone or hurt people, you probably shouldn't do that. But I am advocating for you to go touch some grass or something.

18.) describe your personal style?
19.) what was the last concept that inspired you?
1 for clothes i don't really wear fancy stuff just like, everything is either thrifted, gifted, or my dad's, all my jewerly is also my family's, i think my clothes = pretty masculine, my jewerly and fragrance choices = pretty much feminine (if we want to gender up stuff to make things simpler) since it's my mom and grandma's necklaces and women perfumes (i think the "aesthetic" that is closer to this is grunge? but i'm not sure also the concept of aesthetics is so limited, like sometimes i make some effort about my style choices some other times i just dress all black and basic and go out and thats it)
this comes close to it (skull and harley shirts are actual shirts of mine)
BUT i really want to start dressing more like this, like more preppy? basic? maybe i just want a leather jacket sorry + i want all the clothes alec mcdowell wears in dark angel everytime he's on screen i bite my hands
i also love this .. what is it like gorpecore? which is literally just romanticized trekking clothing but like i love love it
2 late medieval mysticism lol because i found a book about it
