#ws dynamics

[sergeantsporks]

I know I’ve asked about how much witch switch Philip loves throwing vinegar in Boscha’s eyes

But which of the coven head does Philip have the most positive relationship with

(Besides maybe amity)

Oh, he does NOT have a positive relationship with Amity, lol. Phillip is the KING of "I deeply care about someone who is attached to you, so I will play nice, but were it not for them, I would kill you" relationships.

Which coven heads he has the best relationship with falls a little too close to "which coven heads betray Luz" territory, so instead I'm gonna talk about his weird relationship with Gus.

Gus 1) is obsessed with sleight-of-hand magic and 2) believes it's something every human can do. So he's simultaneously Phillip's #1 fan and trying to capture him. This leads to a weird relationship where he's absolutely terrifying to be captured by, but also weirdly easy to escape from, because he's easily distracted by Phillip being like "Uhhhhhhh fifty-two card pickup magic trick!" [books it]. He's also kind of fanboyish about it, which is just. Weird. For Phillip.

i am always a little bit insane abt the idea of malcolm being a teenager (a la donmar production). like do you think macduff stuck around to be the world's saddest helicopter dad

Here is my little piece for @carryonthroughtheages! It's based on a photograph I love from the mid 1800s. This ended up being a fun value study- I had a hard time balancing the sepia tones of old daguerreotype photographs while maintaining value!

Six Sentence Sunday

Except, obviously, it's not six sentences, because I've just written a scene that I like and I don't want to cut it to share it here

Still from my small town fic!

Baz

“You’re a musician, aren’t you?”

The question surprises me. All every person I’ve interacted with these past few weeks has asked me is questions related to my moving here.

“Yes, I’d say so.”

I can hear Harry’s voice clearly in my mind. You could use a little more confidence, Baz. Don’t lessen your achievements. He’d be proud. I didn’t correct the man, didn’t say that I only play music occasionally, that I don’t think I should call myself a musician.

“I could guess. The calluses on your hands,” the man says, his eyes following his words. I find myself looking at my hands too, though I know exactly how they look.

“You’ve noticed that?” I answer, incredulous.

He shrugs. “I like observing people. You’re not very comfortable at this party.”

“What? Yes, I am.”

“You keep glancing at Mary for reassurance because she’s the only familiar presence in the room.”

“Isn’t everyone slightly uncomfortable when in a room full of people who all know each other but that they do not know?”

“Perhaps. But some hide it better than others,” he answers, flashing me a smile.

“Any other remark? Or should I start psychoanalysing you too?”

His smile only widens. “Oh, I’m not psychoanalysing you. I’m simply… noticing you. I’m Thomas, by the way.”

“I know. You introduced yourself at the beginning of the evening.”

“I did, but you forgot my name. I don’t blame you, Basil.” Ah. I guess he didn’t forget my name. “We had one name to remember, you had eight. I do have more remarks, if you’d like to hear them.”

“I was being sarcastic.”

He pauses to take a long drag on his cigarette. I expect him to tilt his head back to breathe out showily, he seems like the type, but he doesn’t. “You don’t like being seen. Is that why you moved from London to a small town? That was not a very clever choice. People pay more attention, here.”

I glance at him. I’m not sure if I’m irritated or… intrigued. The smug look on his face isn’t helping me sway one way or another. If anything, it’s maintaining my confusion.

“Clearly.”

“Please don’t take offense. I’ve paid attention because you seem interesting to me.”

“Right.”

I bring my cigarette to my lips and move my head to the side slightly, looking away from him. It’s a poor attempt to shield my face from his view, like a child who believes that because he cannot see you, you cannot see him.

His shadow shifts. He’s pushed himself away from the streetlamp. “I’ll let you finish your cigarette in peace. It was pleasant chatting with you, Basil."

[skitskatdacat63]

Hey, do you remember that really homoerotic scene from Skyfall? No? That's okay, here's a Vettonso version of it :)

- explanation & w/o text:

Hi hello, finally my weird psychosexual relationship with Casino Royale has come to fruition. Yeah this is directly based off a scene from Skyfall, but I def envision the vibe as being more like Casino Royale hehe. I can't believe I made that inspo board for this AU almost 4 weeks ago, and then ended up drawing a four panel "comic" about it. Ahhhh proud of myself, a bit, a tad. I think this took 20+ hours across the span of a week? God. Anyways I digress! The AU!!

First of all, their Bond song would be "My Way of Life" by Frank Sinatra. It's so toxic, codependent and obsessive, I'm in love with it. And it really suits Fernando and his motivations and outlook in this AU. Basically, MI6(in the context of James Bond) in this AU is an analog for Ferrari. It picks theses guys up, tells them that they're Ferrari MI6's most special boy, chews them up, and then spits them out when they're finished extracting all their talent and skill and life force.

Much like with Ferrari, Seb in this AU replaces Fernando after Fernando loses favor and becomes undesirable. Now Seb is the new golden boy, and Fernando has turned to a life of crime! Fernando resents Seb for this of course, but also becomes obsessed with him and the idea of him , and how they are connected. It's weird to watch someone else basically go down your exact same path and unknowingly make all the same mistakes(buying into the mysticism of it all too much, being overly cocky, having naive beliefs and goals, etc.) He is caught between wanting to doom Seb even more but also wanting to "save" him, by corrupting him and convincing him to work together.

Basically: He's both a Bond girl and Bond villain.

Fernando is in such a weird place in this AU. I think he's just very dramatic. Seb is just casually living his best 007(005?) life, and Nando is watching him with binoculars, whispering to himself: "DOESN'T HE UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE NARRATIVE FOILS!?" Yeah he hates Seb, but like the song lyrics say, their lives and dreams are inherently tied up together. He would feel lost without Seb, because Seb basically, unknowingly, destroyed and then took over his life. Maybe he'll feel satisifed if he manipulates Seb into going down the exact same path a bit better.

About the drawings themselves. Still can't believe this scene is a real thing that actually happened, insane to me. But in this AU, after the events of these drawings, Fernando definitely kicked all his henchman out of the room, and fucked Seb in the chair. And then against the wall. And then on the floor. Hey man, Seb is already looking mighty delicious with his unbuttoned attire and being tied up.

I think the general plot would be that Fernando keeps trying to seduce him to the dark side, and Seb keeps making him think it worked, only to escape at the end of the encounter. Leading Fernando to just come up with increasingly more violent and kinky traps. Seb goes along with it(read: enjoys it), leaving Fernando satisifed, only to somehow escape and wink and make kissy faces at Fernando in the process. (Fernando smoking cigarette in bed: "How do I make him stay. Sigh.")

I like to think though that Fernando does win in the end, by realizing, ah wait shit I do need to actually explain my motivations to Seb. And Seb is so worn down by his job, not Fernando, and how he's being treated, that he listens, really actually listens, and realizes Fernando does really have valid reasons. And then they become evil crime husbands yayyyy. Wow you thought this was a espionage AU? Well it is, but just not the outcome you'd expect.

until it is a shackle

Some Alistair/Amell for @febuwhump day 19! As Solona battles through the remnants of the Circle, she realizes Alistair's past might matter more than she thought.

read it on ao3 here

Alistair/Female Amell | Rated T | 1022 words | CW: injury, fear, existential crisis, crisis of faith, power imbalance

-

It was frightening, how quickly the Circle sank its teeth back into her. Between Wynne at her side and the familiar walls all around, Solona could feel the months of change and growth melting away. Only the Taint in her blood and Alistair at her back kept her grounded in reality.

But even that shifted, blurred in new context.

Alistair trained as a Templar. She knew that, spent a great deal of time pointedly not thinking about it. After that first, awkward conversation, it rarely came up. He wore Warden armor and fought with a Warden’s gear and the enemies before them were darkspawn, not mages. But here, in the hallowed halls of her childhood, she saw it plainly.

He angled his shield down and away, deflecting spells without a second thought. When the demons spun their tempting tales, his mouth formed verses of the Chant to keep his mind his own. Every slash of his sword, every maneuver of his shield, he’d been taught to hunt and kill mages. Mages like her.

At his core, he was a Templar. And she wasn’t sure how she felt about that anymore.

Each room they cleared stripped away another layer, pouring salt in the wounds left raw by Neria’s escape. She knew so many, too many of the faces. They were ghosts now and they haunted her as the party went, replacing the love and laughter in every corner with the echo of their screams. An entire lifetime she’d thought to preserve in her memories…gone, just like that.

Her fingers tightened around her staff. Uldred. She would kill him herself for what he’d done to her home.

“Demons,” Alistair whispered as they approached the next room. His gaze lingered on her but she refused to meet it, just nodded at Leliana to open the door.

Desire waited on the other side, a few Templars in its snare. As they launched into battle, Rage crawled up and joined the fray, for passion and anger were never more than a hairsbreadth apart. Ducking around Alistair, Solona engaged the demon head-on. She knew Desire, had spent many nights with its temptations curled around her ears. It offered her nothing she had not rejected before.

Ice sprayed from her staff, a deadly cone that froze the demon mid-air. Her staff spun and twisted, mana woven into a rune that sprang up just as her ice melted away. A wall of electricity caged the demon and Solona darted for an angle at its vulnerable back.

Summon, bend, cast. She threw ice before fire, summoned bolts and nets of pure arcane energy, and held the demon at bay with shield about her mind. Around them, its thralls fell to her companion’s blades, until only Desire remained. Its attention never wavered from Solona.

But it was flagging. Solona tasted victory, just a spell or two away. She thrust her staff toward the ceiling and drew down a bolt of lightning—

—that fizzled into nothing. An invisible wall of force slammed on her from above. She fell to her knees, nearly knocked prone if not for how she clutched her staff.

She knew Desire and this was not one of its abilities. With willpower as strong as hers, very few things laid her out so fully, body and mind both. As the fog cleared from her eyes, she realized that Desire was on its knees beside her, horns pressed to the floor, and she recognized the taste of bitter iron on her tongue.

A lack of Fade. Her connection severed as wholly as if she’d lost a limb.

A Templar’s holy Smite.

Sure enough, when her eyes found Alistair, his expression twisted horribly with grief and guilt. The time for that was later, though. At his side, Wynne siphoned mana from herself and threw it at Solona, who surged upright as the Fade returned to her fingertips.

She whipped her staff around and drove the blade into the base of Desire’s neck. It howled—then choked, as she cast waves of electricity straight into its core. Its back arched and it fell dead at her feet, singed and smoking.

The moment’s adrenaline instantly left Solona and she crumpled.

“Solona!”

Alistair’s concern stung like a whip and when his hand landed on her shoulder, she flinched. Oblivious, he knelt beside her and tipped her head back. She cringed away and this time he couldn’t miss it.

“Solona?”

In her peripheral, he loomed taller and broader than she knew he really was, and the edges of him blurred from the lingering aura of Smite. When he reached for her hand, she clenched it into a fist.

“Please, don’t.” She squeezed her eyes shut. It wasn’t fair—it wasn’t his fault. “Just…Wynne?”

“I—of course.” She owed him an explanation, something to soothe the painful confusion so tangible in his soft words. But she was too raw for that now, her emotions all twisted up in what had been and what was and what she wanted to be.

Templars protected them, protected the tower. They were the Chantry’s arm, carrying the Maker’s message and the Divine’s will in their holy endeavors. So the Circle taught her, so she’d always believed. She never had a reason to doubt.

Until now.

Wynne took Alistair’s place and as soon as her comforting arm settled across Solona’s shoulders, the young mage collapsed. She fell forward against Wynne’s bosom like a child and sobbed as she had not since the Templars took her from Kirkwall. Her mother’s anguish was just a wisp of childish memory, but it echoed in her soul as Wynne stroked gentle comfort down her spine.

“Shh, child, shh,” she murmured. “It will pass. You will be alright.”

Would she? When the world stripped her bare in this way? Confidence had carried her so far, but she wondered now if it had been false, a delusion she painted for herself to cope with the reality she hadn’t wanted to see.

“How?” she sobbed. Wynne buried her face in Solona’s mussed hair and a few silent tears slipped down her face.

“You have no other choice.”

Say what you will about Fates but the fact it gave us Siegbert/Velouria and Leo/Sakura and Nyx at all is more than enough for me to justify it's existance- OH AND LASLOW/AZURA WHO THE FUCK CAN FORGET PERHAPS THE GREATEST FIRE EMBLEM PAIRING OF ALL TIME.

[mistmarigold]

I love how he has accepted that she’s his wife but she’s also a part of her family. It happens both here and when Liu Yan asks her about her loyalties and she emphasises that she’s both a Wei and a Qiao and he just soaks it in, not even a hint of annoyance there. Even in this bit he’s more resigned and accepting of this which I love bec progress from that wedding night when he told her she’s no longer a Qiao after disrespecting her through every means.

Of course WS setting up a memorial thing for her grandfather is further proof of this understanding that she loves and misses her family (even the lantern wish was a part of that) and I love that he’s not berating or distancing himself from her bec of that. This was also why I wished that he had been there when she meets Qiao Ci because she’s so teary eyed and emotional after seeing her brother and I reallly wanted him to see that since she doesn’t even bother mentioning her family (specifically those in her home) in front of him much.

Even with the whole Liancheng incident he’s not necessarily angry or mad at her and definitely not going around choking her but rather he’s disappointed and hurt because he thought they were a team and they stopped hiding secrets.

[sergeantsporks]

"my aromantic ass can barely handle 2 straightforward romantic subplots and one love-triangle-turned-polycule subplot, so."

Valid™.

So, the two straightforward romantic subplots are CalebxEvelyn and AdaxRaine, right?

Which leaves the love-triangle-turned-polycule subplot to AladorxDariusxOdalia, correct?

How about a queerplatonic relationship for Kikimora & Philip? I looooove seeing QPR's in fiction! But sadly, they're still uncommon in fanfiction.

Plus, you know, Kiki and Pip having a running commentary on their friends (And in Philip's case, his guardians) romantic misadventures would be a great way for you to vent about Allonormativity, lol.

Yea, those'd be the lovebugs that are eating at my story <- guy who really enjoys character driven anyway so it's literally fine

Honestly? Yeah, I vibe with the QPR idea very much. Kiki and Phillip very much do NOT have that sibling bond that King and Luz have, but they have a very close relationship and are literally always together, so. Good beans. I like it.

Unfortunately for Phillip, while Kiki is aromantic, she is also a lesbian. So while she can generally be prevailed upon to laugh at the silly romantic fools, occasionally she's got a big fat crush and he has to be the only sane person in this friend group

[teaboot]

Enemies to Lovers: A meeting of individuals on opposing sides of a conflict meet, and, through stubborn, begrudging, reluctant respect, slowly come to care for one another beyond the level they can afford.

Enemies to Losers: A meeting of individuals on opposing sides of a conflict meet, and immediately tank the efficiency of their cause by 50% on contact

Enemies to Lovers is an ancient trope near and dear to my heart but lately I've begun to see the appeal in Enemies to Losers as well

Bucky can't decide if the universe loves him or hates him. Maybe it loves to hate him. Maybe it's mischievous. Because he’s in love. He’s madly, deeply, painfully in love with a girl that he knows he’ll never have. Because the heavens created arguably the most perfect creature in their repertoire, dangled you in front of him for his entire life, and chose to rip you away before he had the chance to tell you how he felt.

4. **Sensory Exploration:**

- Listen to recordings of your species and mimic them. Reflect on how it feels emotionally and physically.

- Engage your senses by using essential oils, sounds, touch, taste...

5. **Journaling Practice:**

- Create a "log," where you record daily animalistic experiences, emotions, or instincts.

- Keep track of the moon phases and note how they align with your therian experiences.

6. **Study and Research:**

- Learn about conservation efforts and write about how it makes you feel if applicable.

- Study your species behaviors and see how it parallels 'human' interactions in your life.

7. **Meditation and Visualization:**

- Meditate on becoming yourself—imagine feeling fur, paws, scales, feathers... and the forest around you.

- Visualize running through the wilderness and write or draw what you experience.

thinking about how well Acacia (former bookkeeper slash enforcer for the starkhaven thieves guild) and Lucanis (union man desperate for his friends to be paid what they're worth) would get along on the topic of pay rates and money and also how they would tag team these skill sets to bully Neve

Monthly reminder that THIS is OFFICIAL ART

The Ufotable staff are basically telling us that Sanemi and Giyuu canonically have a thing for each other. I've never seen official art that's as blatant as this-even from anime franchises that have a lot more queer-baiting, like you don't even need to draw an outline and connect the dots, it's RIGHT THERE.

Shout-out to this absolute Queen, who opened my eyes! May her Ws be many and her bitches abundant 🙌

Call me stupid(no, you're stupid!), call me a delusional fujoshi who likes to 'fetishize' gay people (despite being gay herself).

Side note: The belief that people who hc characters as queer are just straight girls who fetishize gay men doesn't make sense because straight people aren't the only ones who watch anime.

Anime has a lot of queer fans and of course they're going to find characters that they love, identify with and ship. So to discredit queer ships as just 'women being fujoshis' is imo homophobia with extra steps with a sprinkle of your basic misogyny ✨

Anyway, If you headcanon these lads as straight, more power to you! If you genuinely believe they're straight that's okay, but to look at stuff like this and call it reaching is just being disingenuous.

Sanemi straight up said he's not interested in women, Giyuu's feelings and recollection of Sabito reads like a widow who lost her beloved husband, Sanemi being a tsundere with Masachika, and that's not even including how Sanemi and Giyuu's interactions read like two exes who broke up due to miscommunication, repressed feelings, and the inability to properly express themselves, the parallels in their stories, the fact that the last image of them is this

They look like a married couple 😭

If you still don't believe with all this evidence, then that's okay. The aim of this post is to tell sngysn shippers that are feeling uneasy because they think they're being delusional or reading into it too much.

You're not delusional, this ship isn't forced, there's so much evidence that I've collected-that I can provide if you want. I've studied Sanemi's chapter in the light novel with annotations and shit, plus both Sanemi and Giyuu's backstories. I'm reading up on Samurai culture and history, I have studied the blade-literally.

Remember their collab scene. They have matching tsubas (handguards)! Look at the whirly pattern for both, the tsuba on Giyuu's katana is the water version of Sanemi's pinwheel tsuba!

So my fellow SNGYSN brethren, let's put aside our differences and arguments on which dynamic is better(it's gysn obvs), if you're queer or straight and feel so strongly about this ship and can or cannot put your finger on why, hell even if you're a casual fan and just really like the characters lots, or even if you just want to piss off a homophobic animebro. Girlies, I gotchu 🙏

Here's my GiyuuSane masterlist which can also apply to SaneGiyuu as well.

Here's my ever expanding folder of gysn official images where they're always put next to each other or in suggestive poses.

You can also get stuff from my discord(shameless plug 👀), I yap a lot about them on there and share my annotations and drabbles and stuff.

Feel free to use it-with credit of course 😊, for the analysis and the discord stuff, you can use the images without the credit since they're not mine.

Also shout-out to the MasaSane and SabiGiyuu shippers! They're our allies, our backbone, our Rohan shall Answer to our Gondor calls for Aid, our Knights of the Vale to our Battle of the Bastards. We need them!!!!

SaneGiyuuSane, SabiGiyuu and MasaSane shippers when the see each other in the wild be like

The only person who can refute me is Gotouge-sensei herself, and even then Id be skeptical-and coughing up blood. The 'coincidences' are just too much! So yeah that's all I have to say in this post. Yes I'll always make everything about GiyuuSane, they mean everything to me.

And you can try to stop my dancin' feet But I just cannot stand still 'Cause the world keeps spinning 'Round and 'round And my heart's keeping time To the speed of sound I was lost 'til I heard the drums Then I found my way 'Cause you can't stop the beat

Sanemi and Giyuu are gay, they're dumb and they're in love!

Thanks for reading my overly dramatic rambles! 🩷
