IT IS FINALLY FINISHED

[justaz]

whats so funny to me is how merthur deal with jealousy and the knights’ knowledge of it. like arthur? he is so obvious. SO obvious to literally everyone but merlin. he’s pouty and then aggressive. the knights know this. as touched as they are by merlin’s compliments, they desperately want him to stfu bc every word of praise he gives them, is one more level of how enthusiastic arthur will be when he demands they spar with him.

merlin is literally the same but the knights never really see him get jealous. arthur is obsessed with merlin so there nothing really for merlin to get jealous of. until theres a repeat of cedric where arthur is annoyed by how often merlin has been shirking his duties and takes a new servant just to mess with him. and then merlin is glaring at the new serving boy when neither he nor arthur is looking at him, he is “super clumsy” around the new servant and “trips” on his way out of the stables after mucking them out and “accidentally” covers the servant in horse dung, and sets up scenes for the new servant to fail and thin arthur’s patience until he fires them. then he turns to merlin and is like “i need this done” and the knights expect merlin to act like arthur and jump at the chance to attach himself to arthur’s side, but merlin just smiles politely and says “oh im sure george/gwen/any other servant in camelot would be honored to do that for you, sire” and walks away

anyway i would love to see the knights who have to constantly suffer a jealous arthur sit back and watch a jealous merlin fight his foe in his own way. then watch the slight difference between jealous!merthur as where arthur would drag merlin with him everywhere, merlin can’t seem to get away from arthur fast enough. now arthur is chasing merlin around like a love sick puppy. the knights are in awe. the newer knights who weren’t aware before, now have to confront the fact that this insolent servant has the king of camelot wrapped around his little finger.

brain will not let me sleep until I say

same age padawans au where they’ve been in a weird wired frenemies thing for ages but now that they’re both mature adults (all of 24/25 years old) they’re more friends than enemies….

And it’s Obi-Wan that Anakin tells when he’s decided he’s going to leave the Order, not anyone else. He has a wife. There was a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago and it made her want their relationship to stop being a secret so they could really have kids. He has to leave the Order. Doesn’t Obi-Wan understand?

Obi-Wan, who has been a little in love with Anakin since they were younglings, does not understand. Not one bit. Instead of wishing him well and helping him pack, he goes to the Council and requests a mission in the Outer Rim….perhaps a month long or more…perhaps undercover? No contact with anyone on Coruscant. And maybe they could assign Anakin Skywalker as his back up? He can help with the undercover aspect.

And at first, Anakin is pissed because he was planning to resign from the Order in the next few days, but Obi-Wan convinces him to go on this mission with him….one last mission as a Jedi. To say goodbye to the Jedi life.

Obviously, Obi-Wan sort of wants to go on one last mission with Anakin because in his dreams, he wants the mission to go so perfectly that Anakin stays with him the Order. But realistically, he mostly wants to go on this mission to say goodbye to Anakin and then let him go, soaking up all his warmth and light, memorizing every casual touch bestowed on him because he knows they’re ticking down to the last handful of seconds together.

But then obviously the mission works TOO well and Anakin falls in love with Obi-Wan but doesn’t admit to it even to himself before they’re on the ship about to head back to Coruscant and Anakin realizes he doesn’t want to leave this planet because he doesn’t want to leave Obi-Wan if it could always be like this so he crashes the ship during take off so they can stay longer because he’s 24 and doesn’t know how to handle the immensity of his love except through destruction

hollow knight detail #1,437 that makes my brain whirr like an overheated laptop:

the NPC names and boss titles in hollow knight display in a way that strongly implies they are being written from the knight's perspective -- NPC titles only appear once the NPC tells you their name; boss titles are usually loose descriptors or obvious titles unless you already know them; dream boss titles change in ways reflective of what the player (and by extension the knight) has learned about them; title changes seem to be very rooted in the knight's perspective ('broken vessel' -> 'lost kin' yeah but also shit like 'millibelle' -> 'millibelle the thief') -- and hornet never introduces herself by name.

Vol 10 be like

Weiss, handcuffing herself to Jaune (right hand) and Ruby (left hand): "I am not going to let you 2 run off again, you damn martyrdom obsessed jerks. You are going to stay by me and get some damn therapy."

Ruby, looking curiously at the binding, considering: "Does this count as a date?"

Jaune, nodding: "I say it counts as a date."

Weiss, pleased: "It Is A Date! I have won bisexuality."

hear me out: in a star wars happiness/nothing goes wrong au, the jedi order should have a massive inside joke about obi-wan kenobi, respected council member, being everyone's dad.

everyone is in on it. and i mean EVERYONE. ask a padawan who's never met him and they'll look you in the eye and tell you they accidentally called him "dad" once. knights who interacted with him for ten seconds will swear that he's unofficially adopted them. right up until the day he dies, whenever anyone asks him what his and obi-wan's relationship is like, yoda just shakes his head, leans on his staff, and says "the closest thing i have to a father, he is."

Or can they only be devoured?

Next-ish

Previous ish

I doubt Grimm has seen something like this before, but he's clever and he can guess. The Pale King could not escape his fate forever, just delay it long enough to save what little remains of Hollownest. Just long enough to dethrone the Radiance.

Did he know it would last that long? Maybe. Supposedly he had foresight... Perhaps he didn't see this outcome though, and this is just penance for his experiments with the void...

Commission me!

AUGH THIS CHAPTER GUYS

*slams fist into table*

[justaz]

oh fuck merlin following after arthur for five seasons, at his heel following him into every battle, every fight, every quest without regard for his own safety. arthur dying on the shore of that damn lake and merlin dying with him but his body remains. arthur goes to avalon and merlin is forced to stay on earth. merlin can’t follow arthur this time. this is one journey merlin and arthur can’t take together. two halves split and kept apart for over fifteen hundred years. goddamn it. these fucking assholes never fail to make me cry. i hate them i hate them i hate them i hate them

29 layers into an armored core six emblem / decal for a new idea (ignore the big selection box bisecting it) i was writing a short story about my take on the protagonist and realised if i was describing combat i'd need to give her a mech, sooo i came up with a build that was enjoyable to write scenes with and now i'm decorating it and making sure it can comfortably do the fights i need to describe

i am deeply, profoundly normal about ac6

Stuck thinking about Bruce going through with the Nightfall protocol at the end of Arkham Knight and the absolute dumpster fire that must've left behind, at least for the Bat's in relation to Jason. Because by the end of the game who actually knows Jason is alive? Bruce and Alfred, who both just blew up the manor and disappeared into the wind without a word to anyone, and Barbara (which we only know about because of the Arkham Knight audio tapes, so as far as what the game shows she and Bruce didn't say anything to each other about Jason or AK. Babs could easily write the whole reveal off as a weird fear toxin reaction). Bruce doesn't tell Tim, Dick, or Lucius anything about Jason being alive, let alone the Arkham Knight, and even Alfred only knew he was alive.

So we get to my point, and the fic I'm telling myself I'll write that will likely just sit in my notes alongside the other half of my ideas:

However many months after AK Tim and Babs are on their honeymoon. Babs either assumes Jason being AK was a bad toxin trip, or that Bruce told the boys and Jason's just gone into hiding and doesn't want to be found, much like Bruce and Alfred. Since Tim and Babs are leaving town for however long, and Gotham is still figuring out what to do now that Batman's gone, Dick comes in to cover 'til they're back much like he does in his DLC. Maybe before leaving Babs mentions that there's been chatter about a possible new vigilante in town, this one more lethal than they'd like, be careful.

While on patrol Lucius clues him in to something going down at Black Mask's HQ. There were reports of gunshots at one of Black Mask's shipping yards earlier that night where the police found bodies, there are reports of more gunshots coming from the HQ, be careful.

Dick is too late to stop anything by the time he arrives. Finds Black Mask's dead body outside, clearly thrown, or more likely kicked, from a higher floor. Follows the broken window to find more bodies and Masks's office, currently being rummaged through by a red hooded figure. Dick confronts/attacks the figure, who either calls him by his name or makes a reference only a Bat would know. Dick demands answers, Hood clearly thinks he's joking until he's not. Bruce didn't tell them, any of them. Are you kidding me? But what about Babs, surely she said something? Dick continues demanding answers, only for the figure to lift their visor and reveal Jason's face beneath.

Dick doesn't buy it, this is clearly either Clayface, a shapeshifter, or someone fucking with them in the same way Hush had only this time it was Jason's face being copied. But why include the J scar? Jason never had a scar like that. In Dick's confusion/rage, Jason manages to disappear out the window. Lucius, still on the comms, offers to phone Babs to ask what the man meant, but Dick refuses, let them enjoy their honeymoon. He can figure this out.

Cue the frantic search to figure out who this person is, where they came from, where they're going, what they want, and it's driving Dick up the wall that this person has Jason's face, because surely this couldn't be Jason, Jason is dead after all.

IDK how this would end, if there'd be some happy reunion or if Jason would continue to stay just that far out of reach that has Dick seething. I just know Bruce not telling anyone about Jason would be fuel to the fire of Jason's "I was left behind and forgotten" complex.
