Random shitpost I decided to make in an attempt to categorize ships I like.

hi! seeing you during all this ep95 mess has been a breath of fresh air. you seem to have a really firm grasp of canon so I wanted to ask what you think of the recent discord message from Liam where he says Orym didn't know that Laudna was under Delilah's influence when she killed Bor'dor? I watched the clip from 4SD, & it's pretty clear that Liam says Orym understood Laudna was opening the door for Delilah when he encouraged her to kill Bor'dor & even says "we'll need that." But the Discord message seems to walk that back. It's been super frustrating being accused of vilifying Orym or infantilizing Laudna for repeating what Liam himself said. I just don't really know how to reconcile these two statements from Liam & it has me a bit confused on Orym's character.

hi anon, thank you!

this turned into a much longer one than i was expecting dfksjdkfs

so last week i posted this Really Long Ask about the whole discussion, if you want to take a look. but i intentionally didn't bring up liam's discord message because you're right! it seemed contradictory to something that was stated in the past, which was confusing

honestly i think the most realistic answer is that liam probably didn't mean for what he said on 4SD to be understood as such a strong and maybe even polarizing character choice. i think a lot of us heard it as "orym sees delilah as a useful/necessary asset that outweighs what might happen to laudna afterward." particularly because he framed it as something that made the whole situation "even creepier," and during that same convo, marisha was emphasizing the psychological impact that killing bor'dor had on laudna. it's a strong stance and it reflects what orym is doing to himself (handing his endgame over to the questionably fickle nana morri to increase their chances of success against ludinus)

but i suppose liam's clarification suggests that he meant it in a softer, more practically level-headed way, like "orym knew he couldn't do a whole lot about delilah's return but he also thought it could have benefits," or something along those lines. they're obviously two hugely different interpretations with pretty big implications on how we understand orym's relationship with laudna

i'm not a connoisseur of orym's character by ANY means so i can't confidently tell you what the change might mean from a narrative perspective, but i personally still prefer the former stronger stance. because i think it raises interesting questions about how orym views his own place in this war and whether or not it's valid for him to (intentionally or subconsciously) project that placement onto the other party members. is it okay for orym to expect the same level of personal sacrifice from laudna, or imogen with predathos (a whole separate can of worms), or anyone else? is it safe? etc etc. but maybe liam doesn't want to go in that direction, or maybe he does but just not in the way we expect, i don't know! only time will tell!

also regardless of what he meant, i think it's important to acknowledge that it's really easy and completely understandable to feel like he was walking something back. that episode of 4SD was almost a whole year ago! many of us built that statement into our perception and understanding of orym's character for a long time, so it's totally valid to go "wait what the fuck???" when liam suddenly pops into the discord to say that's not what he meant. those feelings are valid and real! especially when discourse can already make you question your own intelligence and your personal interpretations of a story, having that pillar, as big or small as it might've been in your mind, knocked over can be really jarring. you are very much not alone in that, and it's okay!!

AU where Franka doesn't get approval for the transfer and instead has to cut and run to Rhodes Island alone. Liskarm just misses finding out and isn't able to follow. and then they reunite some years down the line for whatever reason, Franka happy at Rhodes Island but still a little lonely and Liskarm saying she's fine but being at Blacksteel for so long has made her colder and harsher and just plain miserable.

(it isn't all bad, she at least has Jessica and Vanilla, but they can't get under her skin the way Franka could. Liskarm swears that Franka would get under skin sometimes just to dig out the bad feelings.)

(and Franka has people. she's surrounded by people she cares about. operators cut from the same cloth as her, that will charge headlong into battle beside her. colleagues who will nag her about sleeping and eating and training and mission parameters. friends who will rag on her for her choice of reading material. but Liskarm was all of those things rolled into one. and she is not here)

Hey man you wanna hear a headcanon of mine?

I think it’s wholesome enough- Also cuz they look similar and I think it’d be funny if they were brothers-

ALSO DANG WHY DOES BURTON LOOK LIKE THAT??? In all honesty I haven’t drawn him in a while so he might look funny- (sorry about that 😭)

ANYWAYS HERE’S MORE-

And also a Pizza Head doodle that wouldn’t leave my brain-

remember when they said all of this explicitly and then jack and eric didn't talk for fifteen years and became the worst version of themselves because as written in the fucking text they could never ever be truly happy or fulfilled or even simply good without each other. whatever i don't care. what if i could never survive in this world without you. and i didn't. whatever!

I just love the parallel of Stede saying to Ed 'you deserve to be loved even if you have done bad things. you deserve to be soft and sweet and you deserve to have kindness' and Ed saying to Stede 'you deserve to go fucking apeshit darling <3 tear them apart with your bare hands. that's my husband, yeah the one covered in blood. so fucking proud of him'

and obviously they both say to Izzy 'you too deserve to be loved and treated with kindness and you didn't deserve pain and suffering and you don't need to be afraid of your own vulnerability; you are safe to be vulnerable with us' and then they all kiss

YOU ARE SO REAL FOR THE DOMI HATE!!!! i haven’t seen anyone else with that opinion but it’s so frustrating seeing everyone on twitter act like he belongs on the first line with 34

logically i get we're just spreading out the actual elite players to make the lineup more dangerous (potentially lol), but. players like domi aren't consistently good, and their mistakes could come back to haunt easily when you're playing opportunistic teams. i follow plenty of people who don't like him, so fbdjdjskkd. people are just high on the am70 chase, but it's sooooo so so so silly to act like that's a result of playing w fucking tyler bertuzzi and max domi. could've put auston out there w ryan reaves x2 and he'd prob pace the same the past 2 weeks, he's been lights out.

"I... I say, Havers...."

For reasons I just simply can't put my finger on, season 5 finally convinced me that an amigurumi Havers is both vital and necessary. He's come back from North Africa to find his boyfriend so they can be happy together forever for the rest of their lives ❤️ 👻
