okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is

#dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #not art #fhjy spoilers #its!!! gods I will Be My Ass in the tags rn. but thats so like. deliciously setting typical #like porter's desire is to transcend and his contempt for the world he's in feels. idk Real #like he plays the game bc he wants to win and be done with it. how do I word this #yknow. being a god would like. be his win state. when he gets that happening thats it his story is done he checks out #meanwhile the bad kids do actually just like playing the game lmao. like they love adventuring! #theyre so solidly Of This World. they carry the values that can only be born of it and they like having mastery over it #its a meta angle that I think is very fun specifically for d20 being in such a unique position in the zeitgeist when it first started #the rat grinders are from DnD Writ Large. porter wants to escape. but this is the bad kids' home its Their Actual Play Show #which makes it so fucking excellent to me that porter's question is somewhat of merit! its their show and it tries very hard to punish them #and they just straight up dont listen to him here lmao bc they hate him but! since the moment the academic track ended its been clear #that they save the world bc they Like Playing. With Each Others #thats what riz thinks the core of adventuring is! thats why fig stayed! and I also think thats why this hovers over elmville now and #a dead god is coming back in the school gym. porter is a shit evangelist but even if hes a good one I dont think it wouldve worked like he #wants it to. the only way he couldve escaped is if he'd not involved elmville at all. thats where the bad kids met dude #its a shitty place that fucks with them but they all come back here bc they wanna play with each others #and in that regard I think thats what the stress tokens ultimately means. Is This Game Still Fun To Play. ITS A RAGEQUIT LIMIT #Im literally running from one end to another of this conspiracy board Ive pulled out of nowhere #Ill draw after this I just wanna get this out. gods this episode has done nothing but furthering my delusion of grandeur actually #Im the hottest smartest manthing on earth Im king fucking midas over here. anyways uh! great ep!

Every so often I remember Lirin was a doctor while Dalinar was Blackthorn, and his entire worldview makes a shit ton of sense. I can go on and acknowledge that he was a subject of Sadeas but really... nah. That man absolutely witnessed first-hand the casualties of that war.

#lirin did nothing wrong #yes even after the scene during the siege of urithiru. kaladin did not need to kill that singer #teft wasn't in any immediate danger at that point when they were being gathered. kaladin was the person who escalated everything #i don't (wholly) condemn kaladin beyond it being the first foot soldier he killed since oathbringer iirc. #i don't need him to act perfectly logically he wasn't in a good headspace #but lirin wasn't entirely unreasonable either. #cosmere #cfsbf #stormlight #stormlight archive #the way of kings #words of radiance #oathbringer #rhythm of war #lirin stormblessed #dalinar kholin #it's also understandable why he's fucking weird throughout the rest of RoW #talking to someone close to you after a heated argument is fucking uncomfortable as shit #and sometimes it's really tempting to refuse to acknowledge it instead because what the fuck do you do when that shit happens? #if communication was easy we wouldn't need diplomats. #we also see first hand how much lirin is lying to himself when it comes to resistance #both in hearthstone and in urithiru he keeps sticking his hands into the conflict and covering up resistance #despite the fact that he claims he doesn't believe in it. he is naturally a defiant person he just decided to not be super obvious about it #i think a lot of people don't like them because their own relationship with their parents is frustrating #and project their issues onto kaladin when they see them collide #lirin and kaladin are the same person. #a friend of mine who projects super hard on kaladin told me that if he ever met his clone even if they were identical in personality #he'd hate him because he's super bullheaded and stubborn #but also deeply fervent in his beliefs. #anyways i'm probably running out of tags

It is so embarrassingly blasphemous that there’s characters who think Jude loved Locke

Like when Cardan’s mom said Jude loved Locke at the trial, I went feral for her cause AS IFFFFFFFFF

#edit: I’m aware his mom was only telling a story #and that she didn’t believe it herself #the wording still works here tho yall so we good #u ​just gotta read it in a particular way 😭😭 #incase anyone reblogged only this part: it works it’s ok lol #anyway #like who the fuck— #naw #NAWWWWW #get out #right now #they didn’t read the books 🙄 #the cruel prince #jude duarte #cardan greenbriar #jurdan #the wicked king #queen of nothing

thinking about the relationship between mightily oats' "the worthwhile [words] don't burn" and constable dorfl's "the words in the heart cannot be taken"

#especially the journey both of them had to go through to get to the point of saying that. like the whole of carpe jugulum oats was so TORN #and before that too about what words could you believe and who could you really trust on their word about om and the prophets and he went #out of his way to look up records disproving what the book of om said bc he KNEW nothing they said could be believed and just all the pain #and all that doubt he went thru and the part where he questioned om's 'infinite compassion' as he prayed bc really what compassion? #how many people prayed at the stake just like he was doing in that moment? how many people had to live with the silence of their god just #like he did? but still when his book of om – that he clung to the whole book for reassurance – burned he said the worthily words don't burn #the worthily words are in the heart and in the mind and not feed into his mouth by old man who just #made things up to justify their actions. he had all the words he needded the whole time and holiness was always all around him. he just had #to look #and dorfl being created with words in his head that dictated his every move . words that chained him. then he and the other golems created #'king' for themselves in the hope he'd lead them to freedom but they put too many words in his head and he failed and carrot gave dorfl his #own freedom and his own words and that lead to dorfl destroying his well child basically and destroying himself in the process but the word #in his heart his OWN words remained and they were able to rebuilt him and vimes give him a voice and his words and belief remained in him b #they were always his #god. sorry for the ramble im severally unwell about them #mightily oats #constable dorfl #carpe jugulum #feet of clay #gnu terry pratchett #discworld

So fucked up that obimaul is a rarepair. What do you mean not everyone is obsessed with enemies to lovers with a Force connection, where one side is completely obsessed with the other who barely acknowledges him (but is just as affected)

#hm i should make an original post tag #obimaul #like. say what you want but obi-wan saw a random dathomirian zabrak and immediately went 'maul?? alive??' #he DOES care about maul he just doesn't actively seek him out like maul does #post prompted by this song that makes me think about Maul in his crime lord era‚ all the luxury of the world within his reach‚ #but none of it satisfies him because what he really wants is to find (and kill) kenobi #'another night up in the best suite; everything's gone wrong already‚ my body admits; dreaming so high the floor is the limit; #once again i got lost.. [...] another night i give myself‚ top of a skyscraper; i'm the king of the world‚ dreams for rent; #and when i look at myself i sigh with a low voice‚ 'i don't feel bad i just feel nothing'' #(<- song is são paulo‚ 2015 by jão) #it's a song about feeling dissatisfied with the life of fame because there's an emptiness he can't fill with sex drugs or luxuries #and from the context of the album it's likely he's thinking about a past lover he's still not over #so. imagine with me. #i might make something out of this. maybe. #but like. posting about songs that make me think obimaul thoughts. not very productive. almost no audience. #... and while making this post i've been attacked by yet another song with a very obimaul words #'lie to me‚ run from me‚ we swear it doesn't count‚ in this way of ours‚ but it's not because i hate you that i can't kiss you anymore' #<- pilantra by jão and anitta

When you realize that Jude hadn't pardoned herself, not because she hadn't figured out the loophole in the exile (meant specifically for her) but because she had loved Cardan (even if she wouldn't admit it to herself), and was hurt.

Jude had loved him since before she became a prisoner of the Undersea. She loved him when she agreed to marry him. She had hoped her feelings were returned but the exile didn't just mean she couldn't go back, it made her think (and believe) that Cardan hadn't loved her. She wanted to go back because Elfhame was home, she wanted to go back because she missed magic, but how could she go back to where the boy she loves—the King—was probably enjoying himself with his ex or a new lover, mocking her with his friends and laughing over her with her sister, being free at last of any commands, all while knowing (assuming) how much of a fool she was made?

Jude was hurt, not incapable of understanding the faerie wordplay she'd grown up listening to most of her mortal life. The slap she gave Cardan only showed a little of how deep that hurt went.

#i read shit people say and it fills me with #words #to defend my queen #she was *oblivious* #oKAY #but she wasn't dumb #my girl was hurt and couldn't bring herself to face the boy she loved esp. not risk her life knowing what he's capable of #now that he was free to rule as he liked #being released of his vow to her #aaaaaaaaaa #jurdan #jude duarte #cardan greenbriar #queen of nothing #qon #the cruel prince #the wicked king #the folk of the air #tfota #holly black #tfota analysis

being a fic writer is so funny. i just gave my phd thesis into print and literally my first thought looking at the final word count, the culmination of 3+ years of agony and research and blood and tears etc., was "well that's substantially shorter than the exr college au i wrote as a 19 year old in a depressed haze over six months"

#''did my yaoi stickers arrive!!!! ...... it was my bachelor's degree :/'' type vibe #like this thesis falls thirty. thousand. words. short #in writing evergreen in 2k15 i have created my own white whale. nothing i write will ever be this much or this fast. ever again #also @ everyone who's ever commented that they read that fic in the space of a day and night: what 😭 #i didn't realise how long it was! it took me weeks to proofread my thesis! and that was apparently just three quarters of evergreen! #longfic readers are so strong and interesting and also i hope they're ok. love you kings

I just realized Cardan is Jude’s mirror twin and Taryn is her divided in half twin???

OHHHHHHH??? Holly pulled a Cardan/Val Moren out here on us. She actually made Jude and Cardan living parallels.

I tried making a post with more examples but it was absurdly fucking long, so here are some the ones that made the cut

—When Taryn said “I’m the mirror you don’t want to look at.” She was wrong, Jude had always admired her because she was her other half, Taryn was what Jude couldn’t be. Cardan is always the one she doesn’t want to look at, the one she hates to face more than anyone.

—both the youngest siblings

—Cardan, professional at sparring for love. Jude, a professional at sparring for war (this gives their entire relationship so much perspective)

—They have so many misunderstandings because they see themselves in each other. They often assume the meanings of each other’s actions based on why their own selves would act like that toward them. And they do it without realizing.

#WHY DIDNT ANYONE FUCKING TELL ME SKJFOWMAKE #WHO KNEW AND DIDNT TELL ME #ITS EVERYWHERE IN THIS BOOK #they literally learn from each other and progressively act more and more like the other #jude duarte #cardan greenbriar #jurdan #the cruel prince #the wicked king #queen of nothing #sorry about that last one I didn’t know how to word it😭😭 #I wonder how many posts I’ve made that start with “I just realized” #or “I love when” #“I can’t get over the fact” #“when (name) did (blank) OMGGG” #“I can’t believe that”

[viivdle]

I stand before Cardan, and he looks mortifying in his beauty. He carelessly slumps down on the sofa in his chambers, blissfully unaware of my anxiety. Or, worse, blissfully aware.

“I ought to be mad at you,” he says, and I almost flinch at the sound.

“As I said, I didn’t kill my husband, Your Majesty,” my voice shakes, and I hold onto the hope he will think I am holding back tears.

“Yes, that would be correct. Your husband is sitting in front of you, well and alive. Is he not?”

viivdle productive era??
