Ladies and gentlemales,

We’ve seen Feyre’s more “feral” and wild stubbornness with her mate.

We’ve seen Nesta’s more “viscous” and sharp stubbornness with her mate.

May I please do the honor of presenting you with the concept of Elain’s “proper girl” stubbornness. Includes phrases “that’s preposterous!” and “how dare you insinuate such a thing! You don’t know me- “

And poor, exasperated, (but highly amused) Lucien is just a bonus.

I think it probably is more likely that Falin chimera was purposely trying to disarm Laios by crying for help, rather than that part actually being genuine. Cause it happens at a moment when she’s temporarily disarmed from being electrocuted and then she does make a smug face afterwards. But I’m sentimental and I Want To Believe

Uhh it could also maybe be both? Like both an intentional tactic (from the dragon side?) and also a sign that at least some part of Falin is in there and wants to be saved

The way they animate it, her eyes go from dragon-like slitted pupils to normal round pupils as she says it. And then a tear falls from one eye, while the other eye stays completely dry

Looking at all that again with a bit more context and possibly a clearer mind, that looks like it’s all to make the ruse look more realistic. If it were more of an outburst as I originally believed (or was trying to convince myself), then the pupils wouldn’t have changed probably? It seems like an intentional move

In addition to the pupil change, the single tear seems forced as well. Like she could only muster up one fake tear while the other eye remained completely dry.

On the other hand…it’s kinda hard to force tears at all, especially so quickly. And if we imagine for the moment that the tear was genuine, could the fact that it only fell from one eye mean that only half of her was crying? Like maybe the dragon is really mostly in control, but it let Falin out as an emotional manipulation tactic. Meaning that the cry was both genuine and just a combat strategy/self-defense measure.

And I’m still not sure what to make of the fact that she pushes Laios out of the way before crushing Kabru. Like was it just an accident then? Or is it more just a side effect of Laios being essentially the main character and no one in the main party gets killed in that scene? Or…could it still be that maybe, deep down, Falin doesn’t want to hurt her brother?

what if. Amy “fix-it” because hallucifer makes sam so paranoid about dean leaving for no reason that sam gives in and follows him and is witness to the whole thing

Conventional nightmares are scary but I think it’s the unrealistic ones that are the most scary

your fave Hexxat anon here. When you get to the end of her ToB quest, you might have to reload several times to get the right outcome. That final dialogue is a tricky sonova. I had to look up the right answers myself, and I'm a crusty old bastard whose been with BG since the first game came out.

YEAH I HAD TO RELOAD ONCE (and then the second time I feel like I wasn’t nearly as supportive as I wanted to be but I wasn’t about to let that happen again lololol)

Did beat the game the other day, though! Hexxat had a lovely ending <3

And also Sarevok was mad and my one regret is not getting to murder him yet again

literally 500 pages into this book and they decided that NOW was a good time to tell me that he hates sex and romance and also has no friends

hm, out of all of the things I was expecting when I slowly started putting myself back in fandom spaces, “unresolved trauma from being an autistic kid/teen who was always perceived as Too Much” wasn’t on the list, to be quite honest.

“Stay” from Amélie the Musical (Original London Cast Recording (or the one version of the song with the animatic)) but it’s Kaveh singing to Alhaitham, here, I said it, it’s been stuck in my head for practically an eternity now (basically some angsty pining kavetham/haikaveh)-

There are just so many quotes (and, well, the whole song):

Stay where you are; don’t come too close and don’t go too far - Kaveh’s attitude to their dynamic in my eyes

…Tape up the pieces, and here we are, back again, frozen in place, feeling and looking the same - about their reconciliation after the argument, even though they cannot completely go back to what they used to be, as well as about their mutual inability to move forward bc neither of them just knows how, and so they awkwardly remain trying to be a reimagining of something they used to be even though they cannot do it bc they cannot properly move on just yet even though they both want it- (I am delusional about these two please have mercy)

Everyone knows that it’s easy to smile safe, in a frame - *crying noises* do I need to even-

And, well, the rest of the song hits too (particularly the bridge)

Gonna be real it would be a lot easier to talk about transmasculine specific oppression if we were allowed to acknowledge sex is real unchanging and not the same as gender identity, but saying that gets you called a terf, so instead we wind up with t-dudes saying that they’re oppressed bc they’re men.
