on this reread of gideon the ninth I am picking up on the frankly hilarious background thread that naberius genuinely seems to want to be buddies with colum asht, in his third house mean girl kind of way. and colum seems to count this as a genuinely painful event amidst a life defined by suffering fhdskjsha

(they're seated next to each other at magnus and abigail's party and naberius keeps trying to drag colum back into conversation (by telling him he's wrong of course) while colum mostly suffers in silence and tries to eat his dinner, and before the duel that was supposed to happen between the eight and the seventh naberius invites himself along to the walk there chattering the whole time and it makes colum, and I quote, 'look like he wished he were deaf'. how hard do you have to work at it to be insufferable to a guy who hangs around silas all day long. can colum ever catch a break. can we just see him have a chill time for like two minutes in alecto the ninth. maybe have a drink with a little umbrella in it. I realize I hope for too much but has he not suffered enough? his day job was basically to go to day trips to hell already, of all the people who could end up stuck in there he's deserved it the least let's fish him out before the series ends huh)

Why can't I clean the settlements. Please I want to cleans that floors. I never wanted the clean dirt this much in my life. I hate cleaning but I need to clean my pixel settlements. Please

Raine seeing some of Eda's older scars, maybe somewhere on her torso, back or chest and they ask her about it, thinking its from an old duel or her being impulsive and doing something adventurous

And Eda is like, "Oh, uh. My mom's cures backfired more than they helped."

They never helped

And Raine has no idea about what Gwen did in the past and they're puzzled and now very concerned and they press a little more and pull the basic details

Eda gives a few examples of her "cures" while she sounds like she's trying to make it sound anecdotal, but her tone is off, and she sounds more irritated and hurt than soundly past it

Knives, poison, etc. I'm convinced her mom would always try to bring the curse out to essentially exorcise, or even kill the beast one time, and Eda has picked up scars from that. She's very lucky limbs detach

And now Raine is very angry at Gwen, and its onsight with her the next time they see her

Eda: she really messed up... but that's in the past now. She apologised for making me feel like a... you know.

Raine: Did she apologise for trying to kill you???

Is this crushing loneliness I feel just for you, or is it really, underneath, the harsh metallic edge of existential longing?

i hateeee jokes about arab parents only wanting sons and not wanting daughters because 1- when it's like that, that's an awful thing and not something to be joked about and 2- it spits on the face of every arab parent who consistently has to put their middle finger up to the world and say fuck you my daughter is my greatest treasure and i'd rather have her than a thousand sons and i won't hear a word against her!! because in my experience these are the most loving parents to be found in the whole wide world

saw someone say they're we're happy Alicent's and Otto's deaths forced them "realize what they had done" and like...

Otto's one thing, I get the animosity. but Alicent? your getting hot and bothered over her realizing she failed, she failed to save her children, she failed to protect them, to them alive? that she tried so hard, so fucking hard, making every hard decision, trying to get between her children and the fate they were damned to by Viserys and Rhaenyra? that she damned her kids, who were already damned to die to begin with, and had to suffer the guilt of them dying to her own hand? that she's going to drive herself mad with grief over her children, her grandchildren?

like... it's not satisfying (especially for show Alicent) watching a woman go so mad with grief it literally kills her because she fought with everything she had to save her children only for them to die anyway. ever since her father's exile, when Rhaenyra's lies took Viserys's favor, when Viserys ignored the Rhaenyra's sons bastardhood at the risk of the whole house, or when Luke took Aemond's eye and Viserys demanded good will; she knew her children's lives were forfeit. then Daemon killed Vaemond and her children's coffins were built, catching cobweb's all the while. she knew and she fought it desperately, taking risk after risk, living in fear until her moment came, she could out Aegon on the thrown, she could protect her kids, maybe, just fucking maybe they'd be safe... only for it to lead to a war that would kill her entire family.

her death, slow and tragic as it was, is heartbreaking. she didn't deserve it, she deserved to feel safe, to feel as though she could allow her past friend take the thrown without her children being at risk to feel as though she and her children weren't being circled by wolves and picked at by vulture's. she didn't deserve to live alone and die alone. she didn't deserve to have her hands coated in her children's blood.

The fics where Knuckles has some cool powers from the master emerald or is like a very special guy who talks to the master emerald are so good but I've been thinking. What if he isn't. He's the guardian of the master emerald, not a user. Sonic is the one who can use the chaos emeralds and is basically the chosen one when it come to chaos energy, and Knuckles just guards it.

I just imagine Knuckles, who's been put on angel island and basically sacrificed his entire life to this thing and never received any form of acknowledgment, who then meets Sonic who's basically a chaos energy magnet. Chaos emeralds love him, master emerald responds to him. Sonic is there to use the energy, Knuckles is to only guard it

is nathalie just quit quitting at this point. she’s showing up to business meetings but drawing the line at staying after hours and also remembering to pay the maid that picks up adrien’s bedroom?

because yeah gabriel might be even more distracted than normal but i doubt that has anywhere near the impact on adrien that nathalie not being around to run the house and manage scheduling would. she was the one who would notice adrien living in filth because she was the only one going to his room on a regular basis in the first place.

of course adrien doesn’t know about the drama so he might attribute this new and more intense neglect as being related to him quitting modeling, but it’s so much more than that and likely would be happening even if he hadn’t.
