“I just...I need you to understand," muttered Draco hesitantly, pulling in a deep breath. And then he began. "I'm never going to be a man who tells you how lucky I am to have you, even though I know I am. I'm never going to be a man who tells you that you're beautiful everyday, even though you are. And I'm never going to be a man who tells you I love you everyday, even though I do. And I really do, Granger."

"I know you do," she said. "I know.”

Nana x "Where is My Place in the World? Early Shōjo Manga Portrayals of Lesbianism" by Fujimoto Yukari (tr. Lucy Fraser)

#augh #nana #upl #queue #when I first read this article I thought of them tbh like...they both come up against the ideas here in their own ways #hachi trying to moor herself & achieve maturity by pursuing relationships with men #nana wrestling with how she feels she can't succeed if she's tied to ren/managing feelings abt wanting to keep hachi close #a future with each other is not an option - both in-text and in a genre/meta sense - bc there are no men in that roadmap #nana feels so self aware in this way. like especially with hachi: by all external measures she 'grows up' - but it leaves her isolated #& still yearning for that connection she had with nana...but it's not possible within the confines of their stories and the genre #anyway i'm aware there's lesbians in shojo but the point of the article is examining why this is an anomaly. definitely recommend reading!

The other thing about Chiyoh is how weird she is. The non-nonsense pragmatism she gets assigned in fanfic isn't exactly wrong, but I would also like to see the side of her that is fully capable of trading in bizarre and unwieldy metaphors. This is the woman who derails a conversational thread about Hannibal being in Italy to talk about how snails can survive digestion (a metaphor that Will immediately picks up on the intended meaning of - he's the one who supplies "in the belly of the beast"). She might be the only non-Hannigram character besides Bedelia who can reliably keep up with the way the two main characters converse. Not to mention the fact that she just accepts "Botticelli" as the reason Will knows Hannibal in Florence, and later reveals that she already knows that Hannibal is in Florence, because of, idk, vibes? To the man whose entire investigative technique this whole series has been primarily vibes-based. Like for all the resentment she feels towards Will at this point the train ride reveals that he actually speaks and thinks in much the same weird incomprehensible manner she does. And I bet she hates that.

#but it think in some ways she also appreciates it after being isolated. 'strange to talk so much' and all that #god it is so funny how she asks him 'how do you know hannibal's in florence' #girl how do YOU know?? #chiyoh #will graham #hannibal #hannibal talk #queue

I—okay. Listen. Do I run around a lot in this game? Yes. Do I spend an unnatural amount of time looking for RP locations that perfectly match a scene I'm looking for? Probably. But over the course of years, I've found some pretty cool spots. And I'm going to share them with you!

Maybe you'll find inspiration to start something new in these areas, or maybe it'll help scratch an itch for a scene you've been wanting to do. Who knows! Just take them!

Also, these are locations found outside of major cities and aetherytes. This list is for people who want to get out into the overworld and away from crowds! (I’ve also tried to find places that are free of hostile mobs, NPCs, and FATEs.

I’ll likely make more posts for other zones, but the three starter regions are accessible for characters of all levels, and a good place to start!

Locations under the cut!

LONE CAMPSITE - Middle La Noscea - X25, Y23 A single, simple campfire surrounded by a few crates and barrels. I think an NPC appears here for one specific quest, but otherwise it's empty! It’s not near any civilization, although you can see Limsa on the other side of the map.

HIDDEN PIRATE SHIP - Western La Noscea - X10, Y18 A really cool ship hidden deep in the La Noscean map, which only became available once they added flight to older areas. You can land on the ship and the walkways that surround it. It’s really a unique and outstanding spot!

HOUSE @ OSCHON'S TORCH - Lower La Noscea - X23, Y39 You can't enter the lighthouse on the hill (unfortunately), but you can go into the small house in front. It has a nice garden in the yard, and the interior is fairly simple and NPC-free.

WAREHOUSE @ RED ROOSTER STEAD - Lower La Noscea - X31, Y21 I don't know why SE made this, to be honest. I've never seen a quest lead here. Nothing spawns, it just exists. Which is great! I wish they did this more. Anyway, it's a warehouse at Red Rooster Stead. A door in a cliffside, full of supplies and a table with chairs, and nothing else.

PAVILLION @ CANDLEKEEP QUAY  - Lower La Noscea - X19, Y38 Previously inaccessible due to a gate blocking you off the pier, you can now fly over to this spot! This location is beautiful, especially at sunset, but unfortunately nothing is interactable. Unless you’re fine with /groundsit, you can't even sit on the chairs. But still, a quiet and interesting spot to meet!

HOUSE @ THE SILVER BAZAAR - Western Thanalan - X17, 30 All of the buildings in the Silver Bazaar are great! This one is fantastic. It's completely empty inside and outside (except for a couple ambient NPCs on the railing up top). There’s a table and chairs under the awning outside, too.

DESERT RUINS - Southern Thanalan - X19, Y17 There are a lot of nice ruins in the Thanalans, but this one in particular has a lot of potential. The only mobs around are some passive fire sprites, and there's an unopened chest in the back amidst all the crates and jars. Environmental storytelling!

TAVERN @ CAMP DRYBONE - Eastern Thanalan - X13, Y24 I know I said I would make this list outside of major aetheryte areas, but this is the one exception I'll make. Only because it has no business being this good. Every chair at every table is available! It's a wonder!! A very nice little tavern.

HOUSE @ THE GOLDEN BAZAAR - Eastern Thanalan - X10, Y16 The Golden Bazaar, like the Silver Bazaar, is all very useful. But there's one house in particular that is better than the others. This interior is big and extravagant and empty: three things we don't get very often in overworld locales!

CRESCENT COVE - Western Thanalan - X15, Y17 If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: I love Crescent Cove. Every building is accessible! And although there are NPCs around, it's a fairly large area to work with. I’ve both led and participated in a lot of great plot events here. I like it a lot!

LILYSTONE - Central Shroud - X28, Y30 A simple tent with a campfire in front, located next to a river. There are some low level aggressive mobs (level 11), but no NPCs or FATEs. I believe there's an early level quest around here, but I almost never see anyone. A neat campsite!

SWEETBLOOM PIER - East Shroud - X10, Y22 This location is found immediately after you take the boat from Gridania to East Shroud. Most people just run right past it and head through the gates, but if you turn around, there are two buildings here! One is a grocer of some kind, and the other is a storage room. There are a couple NPCs, but nothing too intrusive.

SPRIGGAN DIG - Central Shroud - X11, Y16 (Underground) Sometimes, when you're setting a scene, all you want is a simple cave. Just one simple darn cave. This spot provides! There are 2-3 caves to choose from, although each one contains at least one hostile mob and a patrolling golem (level 43). We take what we can get.

SPIRITHOLD - Central Shroud - X26, Y25 This spot is great for its spooky ambience or for a dungeon/prison location. There are six small, empty jail cells against the walls. Just some small level mobs (level 9) wandering around, too.

That’s it! I have several more, but I trimmed them out due to them being either fairly common knowledge (ie, Buscarron’s Druthers, Hermit’s Hovel) or just too many mobs cluttering the field. However! If you’re interested in more, let me know somehow, and maybe I’ll make a Part 2!

Until then, I’ll very likely follow up with more zones. I like exploring quite a lot.

If you could be an animal, what animal would each of you choose?

I want to be a bunny! They're so cute!

I agree, Mark! Bunnies are adorable :)

(A few moments later)

It's dinner time!

(Billy hands Mark a plate of a single piece of carrot)

I don't...like carrots. Can we eat something else?

No silly, you wanted to be a bunny. Bunnies love carrots :)

But-

Go on Mark, eat it.

(Mark sadly eats the carrot)

...

I would choose to be a wolf! They're caring, intelligent, playful and friendly! :)

#some fun facts that made me choose these animals 4 them! #for mark i chose bunnies cuz bunnies can die from loneliness and mark is. well. isolated from his friends #plus bunnies need 2 be outside n such 4 them 2 not get depressed and mark is trapped in the house #bunnies are adorable and so is mark #overall i think mark would choose them cuz bunnies r adorable n soft n fluffy n he would love them! #for billy. i was gonna make it a mooses or dolphins at first cuz they r seem as harmless but r actually deadly little fucks #butt i went with wolf cuz i felt like it would be better in terms of symbolism #like the whole wolf in sheeps clothing thing #and wolves r playful social creatures. which is kinda like billy as he wants attention from his peers (as said in maf lore video) #and i just felt like hed choose an animal who has lots of yk. advantage traits? idk how 2 explain it loll #anyways yeah! #sorry i took so long on this ask TwT #ashur gharavi #mark and friends #an answer for an ask #maf #twomp #ask blog #queue

We're gonna revisit that Caretaker Luke AU again because it brings me a certain amount of joy to think about it when I'm in a bitter mood and I just finished Jedi: Survivor, so I'm incorporating that.

Cal and Merrin DO manage to create a refuge for people persecuted by the Empire on Tanalorr and it never gets found or destroyed, so there's this little community of Force Sensitive people and Jedi survivors (and others) already built by the time the Empire falls.

So when Anakin survives and Luke commits to being Rehab for Sith for the rest of his life in order to keep the New Republic from executing Anakin or locking him up for life, there's somewhere else for Jedi and Force Sensitive people to go.

But no one will even tell Luke the NAME of the planet, much less how to get there. Because it's a known fact that if Luke knows it, so will Anakin. And nobody in their right mind would ever trust Anakin with the location of Force Sensitive children or Jedi survivors, that would be madness and stupidity. So for as long as Luke chooses to protect Anakin, he's completely isolated and cut off from all other Jedi that exist, all of their knowledge and history and training.

And even Leia can't know about it or go get training because she refuses to cut Luke out of her life. So Leia is isolated, too. And so is Han. And so is Ahsoka, because let's be completely honest, Ahsoka would 100% forgive Anakin completely in this scenario and refuse to leave him behind all over again.

Anakin hates this. Anakin's instinct is to hunt down the Hidden Path and find this planet to force them to let Luke be a part of their community or kill them all because, well, it's Anakin and someone he cares about is upset, we all know how he reacts to that. Anakin throws this idea on the table at breakfast one day and Luke has to spend several weeks talking Anakin out of committing yet another Jedi genocide, just this time in Luke's name instead of Padme's.

There is no redemption available for Anakin aside from just leaving the Jedi completely alone for the rest of his life. He can give them the gift of his absence and that is it. Same with the rest of the galaxy, honestly. The best thing he can do for the people he's hurt is get out of their way and disappear forever. Luke forgives him. Ahsoka forgives him. Obi-Wan's ghost probably forgives him.

The Jedi on Tanalorr try their very best to pretend he doesn't exist, but when the news breaks that Anakin's finally died and they're finally free and safe from the Sith, there's an obvious uptick in the general happiness among the refugees of Tanalorr. There aren't any celebrations as such, but some people decide to cook a favorite dish to share among everyone, the children are given some time off of lessons so they can go out and play, and there's just a sense of merriment that wafts through the Temple when the last Sith rejoins the Force.

Island in the Sun

Warnings: captivity, restraints, torture

The room was hot and Whumpee sweated profusely. They were shackled to the floor in the center of the room directly beneath the sky light over head. The sun beat down on the window, heating the room to an unbearable temperature.

Whumpee's eyes burned with the sweat that poured down their face and with the unshed tears in their eyes. Whumper had locked them in here days ago and hadn't returned. It was unbearable.

Whumpee had thought that when Whumper kidnapped them they would be beaten and tortured. They didn't think Whumper would abandon them in this locked room.

They knew time had passed because of the passage of the sun across the skylight. They slept, though they weren't sure when. They just knew they had because a tray of food appeared periodically as well as a bucket to relieve themself in. They never saw Whumper bring those in and take those out, so they must have been asleep.

Whumpee was hopeless. Being alone was so much worse than being beaten. Being alone with their thoughts and imaginings was so much worse than having their bones broken. Being abandoned was so much worse than being tortured.

Perhaps this was the special kind of torture Whumper had in mind when they kidnapped Whumpee. Whumpee could only suppose as their loneliness became insurmountable.

[i-still-mask-because]

I still mask because I can't avert my eyes from the obvious signs that it has never gone away since 2020. Like, I'm often not even good at noticing subtlety IRL, but these signs are not hard to find. People are in denial.

AND I still avoid eating in restaurants because eating is the one thing you have to take off your mask for, and I am not doing that in some indoor and enclosed environment where hundreds if not thousands of people have been unmasked that day alone.

Also just... thank you so much for making this blog ^^;;

#i feel this so so much. #people really are in denial and believe they're exempt from reality #frustrating and infuriating feel like understatements at this point. #and i too don't feel comfortable eating indoors at aaallll. #i would need to be the only person in the restaurant in order for me to feel comfortable with that. and even then are the employees masking #if I'm not at home i 100% prefer to eat somewhere as isolated as possible. #ideally somewhere with a comfortable view and lots of nature around me to add a layer of safety and ease. #during this course im taking I've been enjoying my lunch at a street pier and finding some ease with watching the view of the river & plant #it's the little things that help. #also of course!!!

wait omg yes omg yes you me and shin and the polycule in the same universe, we met through teruteru 😭 i adore it

WE MET THROUGH TERUTERU!!!! I'm shaking you SO violently you're so correct

Did you two date in this AU?? Teruteru is poly and has partners outside of the Ideal Polycule so you could still be dating, but idk if you wanna be mono with Shin... Lemme know about that one

Either way!!! You lamenting to Teruteru that Shin doesn't seem to have anyone to hang out with outside of you and how you'd like him to make more friends and he's instantly like, "Let me introduce him to the two most social people I know" and sets up a double date for all of us!! (Is it still a double date if one of the couples is 4 people?)

Shin still kinda quiet and just letting you do most of the talking but Koro-Sensei and Taishiro canNOT leave this guy alone they know a shy kid when they see one and they will not let him just fade into the background he WILL be the one to answer their questions

We have a good time! We eat good food, go out somewhere and do something Shin would be good at (He's a gamer right? so like maybe an arcade). I feel like Shin and Koro-Sensei would form some sort of friendly rivalry constantly trying to beat the other at any game we all play. They are out for blood in Uno and what not.

Aaaaah that all sounds like so much fun we have Game Nights!! Maybe Shin visits The Hanamura family Diner from time to time just to see Teru and chat, if he and Taishiro's breaks line up maybe they meet up to get lunch together sometimes. ffjdkjgk It's cute it's cute they are friends!!!

#The Ideal Polycule #LOVE TO FINALLY TALK ABOUT THIS CANON OF THE POLYCULE!!!! #THEY ARE FORCING SOCIALIZATION ON SHIN!!! And he has a good time #He and Koro-Sensei duo-queue together #And also have the most intense 1v1s #Rivals!!! #I like the idea of him hanging out with Taishiro just because to Tai Shin is a lot like Tamaki but more a buddy #So he can be a harsher dskfjkkjd #Which is saying a lot because he is VERY harsh to Tamaki his son boy boy son dsfkjdkjfkds #Tai and I are both Bully types we will pick on Shin some. But never too much promise!! #And Taishiro always buys lunch so the ribbing is worth it #Teruteru no hesitation 'Lemme introduce him to some people' the second you mention Shin being kind of isolated #Teruteru is extroverted but These Two. Jesus Christ. #jfsdjgfsjh It's sooooo cute <3 #Thanks for indulging me on this Emmy!!! It's a lotta fun to me #More of my friends/mutuals should cough up an F/O or two to make canon to my Ideal Polycule AU #for fun fun
