"Ever since that encounter with the creepy doll, he's been afraid of death.
This explains what Marigold says, that he did things like he was following a list. Wife, kids, house, money, multiple projects and hobbies
He's afraid he won't have the time to do everything life has to offer"
"But if he can make himself inmortal, he won't have to worry anymore. He will be able to do everything without a hurry"
"With this house, he could live forever"
Ángel seems in deep thought
"But don't worry! I know how to un-purpose a house!"
"You can do that?"
"Yes! It's how I got out of the last house"
"Every house has a 'heart', so to say, an object that represents what the house does"
"In the last house, the room repating house, it was a map"
"Do you see where I'm going with this?"
"Oh, so in this house is...."
"Exactly! Then, after we deal with Eugene, we just have to destroy it!"
"..."
"...I see"
"Huh?... Is Ángel okay? Never mind, of course he's not okay"
"Do you think we should tell anyone else? Make them remember as well?"
"Um, I don't know..."
"I mean, it's not nice to have the memory of your own death. But I think people would like to know nonetheless..."
"Maybe just Nadia for now, I think Coli is targetting her this time.
He said some weird things that worry me"
"Oh, so we could lure him in"
"We can do that, but we have to be careful with the bombs"
"I saw 4 controllers, so there's 3 bombs that we don't know of, and going around trying to find them would waste us a lot of time"
"Wait, in fact, I'll just e-mail a bomb defusing team to come here"
"They won't get us until after the storm, but they'll get here eventually, right?"
"Technically, we could just leave"
"Not in this storm"
"Maybe with enough blankets we could"
"I mean, if we manage to not forget until the morning, then we will"
"What would his plan be when it's day? Repeatedly kill us until is night again?"
"I wouldn't put it past him"
"Ángel"
"If this doesn't work, if I forget again and Vivi's book gets lost forever or something of the sort"
"I want you to leave"
"No"
"Wait, listen to me. This isn't some self-sacrifice thing
Go get help.
Even if it's the police, even if you have to dress in your silly dominion outfit to get them here
Even if it takes you days, weeks or months"
"What will happen here, then? Am I supposed to just go knowing he's going to kill all of you over and over again?"
"Yes, it's a sacrifice that needs to be done if it gets us out of here"
Ángel takes a deep breath
"... I understand"
"But we won't have to do it. We'll catch him. We'll finish this"
"That's what I want to hear"

Also have another “first words spoken to you are on your skin” soulmate AU idea where Kara is a journalist assigned to shadow the controversial CEO of L-Corp for the day. It’s a big deal for her to get this assignment, so of course she trips the second she’s near the other woman and tries awkwardly to redeem herself.
The CEO stares at her almost in shock, and then says nothing. At all. Ever, for the entire day.
Kara spends hours following Lena Luthor around trying to fill the silence, but no amount of questions get her to talk. Lena almost seems to be running away at some points - like she’s trying to lose her? - and the few times she’s managed to catch her actually talking to someone she goes silent the second she sees Kara.
She asks around if Miss Luthor is usually like this and everyone looks at her like she’s crazy. Apparently she’s the only one who gets the silent treatment. By the end of her first day shadowing she’s walking away with half a page of observations and not a single quote. Miss Grant is going to kill her.
But that’s okay. It’s fine, this isn’t over. She has four days of shadowing ahead of her and she’ll be damned if she doesn’t finish this with a quote from the woman herself. It’s only a matter of time.

got this reblog on one of my posts were i talked about being anxious about the future of the zelda series after totk and-
i even went back and unblocked them just to check my own post and check twice what they meant exactly- but i still dont know how they got to these conclusions
i never said i 'want a good uwu ganondorf' (bc that would mean hes aligned with hyrule bc thats how goodness works!!!!11!1!!!), i also dont think of any of the zeldas as 'whores' (seriously, where did that come from?? neither me nor the addition of someone agreeing with me said anything like that??? did they think bc the addition called tloz misogynistic means we think zelda is a whore????? huh???)
its also funny how they say they want zelda to stay a simple fairytale rather than have 'people like me' bc .. one point i talked about in the og post was how the evil arab thing VS good white people media likes to do so much is so normalized here that its simply seen as a simple harmless fairytale trope instead of a big underlying issue in general media and the writers might not even realize it (which is worse) bc the most 'generic' appeal is to people who dont think of it as a problem in the first place, because it is so normalized
(huh, i wonder about what kind of person that part was about .. hmmmm)
(ALSO funny they mention princess hilda as nuanced villain ... like ... wow they are so nuanced about purple haired people!!- like guess why we want a nuanced/less badly/less flat written ganondorf and what he, in particular, has not in common with other villains! its not his hair color! .... or was that point supposed to mean .. look we have one female character that is a villain, its not misogynistic!
idk honestly)
(and the classic, "you just call it this/dont like it bc its not what you wanted !!!!!!!2!"1!112!!")
also funny how its 'never gonna be progressive enough' like asking for the franchise to maybe put a little more thought and nuance into their white divine right vs evil desert man simulator instead of making it worse is already asking too much
(i dont know what the last point has to do with anything??)
(also yes totk is racist, like most if not all of the franchise and a alot of other media as well, shocker- you can still like it though, i and plenty of other people are still fans of it, we just wish they did a little more with their stuff and maybe not make the racism problem WORSE)
(also yes the hyrule monarchy is also evil :))) )
(and also not so secretly so either :)) )
