#and if we've never talked before

[notnotpluto]

soo... i saw @ramoneida's recent post and my nosey lil ass went back to find the scene and its pretty interesting to me. its so clear in this scene that feyre's asking lucien to come live in velaris, she's (can I even go so far as to say) insisting that he live here.

so now the argument that lucien was following orders and staying the continent even though he "truly really wants to be with his mate" is not valid anymore. its simply not true.

the next part - he's not just begrudgingly staying in the human lands. he wants to stay there. he clearly likes staying there. he's defending vassa and jurian and saying that the manor is "ours". he's outright telling us (or Sarah telling us through lucien) that he belongs there.

now this part is just pure speculation/theory on my part but one could even say that lucien here is defending vase/jurian against the high lady the same way azriel defended elain to the high lord. (this just popped in my head and doesn't really matter that much but its cute to me lol)

now I ask all you guys: why do y'all think Sarah wrote lucien wanting to stay in the human lands, wanting to say with the boe if she wanted elucien to be endgame? why would she do this when it would've taken absolutely no effort to have lucien take up Feyre on her offer and stay to get to know his mate? why take such a convoluted route to make fated mates endgame?

Jennifer nearly jumped into the water / and she was tired like no one's ever been tired

#myart #wesley crusher #jennifer is on her way home. then she remembers her life is like a nightmare!!!! #geniunelyyyy thinking about the post-first duty years of wesleys life is so miserable. #he killed his best friend and ruined his friendship with everyone else and lost picards respect (the only thing he ever cared about) #and then you just. dont hear about him at all for 2 years. #trying to capture the extremely specific existential dread of knowing something is deeply wrong in your life but not being able to change. #JUST THE LOOK OF A YOUNG MAN WHOS PROFOUNDLY UNHAPPY AND DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHY!!! #the quote from that novel. where he says “jaxa knew better than the rest of us the only way to escape this thing was to die”. ITS SICK!! #like leaving starfleet was not even on his radar until journeys end. he didnt even consider that as an option. so what could he do. #man. theres a reason for the prominently placed golden gate bridge. jennifer nearly jumped into the water.... cuz she got no way to get out #the photos in the bg are him and picard. jack. two of joshie (the ski tripppppp) him and bev and the entire nova squadron up top #do i think he would have his room this nicely decorated while horribly depressed NO!!! it was just for the compostion of the piece #like trying so hard to keep up appearances. being surrounded by pictures of all the people who love him and still not able to get out. #some of the papers lying around the desk are like. intended to be letters to bev that he just gave up on writing. #OKAY sorry i just wanted to finish this before i leave tomorrow. i spent such a stupid amount of time on this. never again #you people should always talk to me forever about my friend wesley . im soooo normal. lies facedown on floor #OH AND THE VERY SPECIFIC.

Blanche's grandma's place is the only place she felt consistently loved in... no I'm fine. I'm fine

#the IMPLICATIONS #i completely forgot about that line #room 7 makes me lose my mind in general but ohhh my god #OH my god #i'm #yeah no i'm fine #i have so many feelings about this i can't even put them into words #idk but she speaks about that place with so so much nostalgia #we see blanche in a way we've never seen her with anyone from her past #she didn't look even remotely as happy or peaceful (or nostalgic!) when she visited her childhood home #but when she's in her grandma's old home? she calls it her family home #she talks about it like *that's* the place she grew up in #because apparently it was the only place she was always sure she could be loved #so i guess it might not have been the only place she grew up in #but it sure sounds like it was the one place she was allowed to be herself in and still be loved unconditionally #without competing for anyone's attention #ohh blanche ;-; #i teared up when she held that windchime and smiled right before finally leaving that house #that was *such* a powerful moment ;-; #anyway #uh #i guess i'll just go and stare at a wall or something now #the golden girls #blanche devereaux #adding on to this to say that maybe it really was the only place she grew up in #because to grow up i'd say you need an environment where you can at least somewhat freely explore your identity #without feeling a constant need to be the best/cutest/prettiest sister to get your parents' love and approval #it sounds like blanche grew older in her childhood home #and she got the chance to *grow up* with her grandma #(i knoooow i'm reading too much into this but i can't stop thinking about this episode)

Post Tadpole'd Durge seems to brighten up so much after meeting this stranger (IE, remeeting their little assassin) and gets the gang to make them join the party by implying they help Durge's memory. Surely it's the least that can do to aid the Grove's savior! It's okay if there's not enough tents, they can share :)

The amnesia appeared real. They almost seemed sheepish. I don't mean to intrude, they'd said politely. Do I know you?

Know you? Bile rises in your throat as memories flash through your mind. They know you better than anyone. The taste of your flesh, your blood, the way your skin splits under their blade. Every scar, every mark, every pathetic, traumatic noise that could be drawn from your suffering.

You hadn't even noticed that your eyes had glazed over until they managed to catch your attention again. Concern is a strange look on them. You smile when they ask if you're alright. It's strained, forced. Too wide. You apologize. Once, yes. You knew them once. Acquaintances, nothing more. Their pale companion scrutinizes you behind them. You pray your nerves won't betray you.

The lie works. Their sudden look of excitement sends a bolt of fear through your spine. You are a godssend, they gush. Finally, someone who can shed some light on their situation. You'll be at the party, yes? You can talk more at camp.

With the Grove saved, you find yourself in an unfavorable position. You refused to go back to the city with the tieflings. Regardless, now that they knew where you were you couldn't stay here with the druids. You can't risk them looking for you, and if you don't show to the party odds are someone will see which direction you went and rat you out.

So you show. You stay to yourself, making polite conversation until the time is right. The festivities make a decent enough cover, but you feel eyes on you wherever you go. Multiple times you have to remind yourself to breathe and calm your nerves. When everyone is distracted, you'll make your move. You'll run into the woods, and run until they'll never be able to find you again.

That was the plan, anyway. You creep through the darkness, all too aware of an echo to your footsteps that should not be there. You anticipate the ambush and swing around, the point of your dagger pressed to the lean neck of their pale companion. Red eyes narrow dangerously, his own weapon pointed at your stomach. It's rude to leave without so much as a goodbye, he purrs. You don't humor the man with a response, instead giving him a warning. Leave now, and he can walk back into his camp with all his entrails still on the inside.

He moves closer, and you take a step back. There's a gleam of malice in his eye as he sneers. All bark and no bite. What do they see in you? You falter, gritting your teeth as your hands start to shake. He wastes no time and pounces on the opportunity. A cold hand finds your wrist, pulling your blade away from his vitals. The elf leans in close, eyes boring into yours as he makes a proposition.

You can leave. Run into the woods, try your luck. Hells, you could even kill him while you're at it. No witnesses. They will find you though. He doubts they'd be very pleased to find one of their allies dead.

On the other hand, you could come back to camp and he'd be more than happy to pretend this little incident never happened. Water under the bridge. He doesn't understand how yet, but clearly they think you may be useful. You may be able to shed some light on this situation, and he'll be damned if he lets such a pretty little opportunity go to waste. To him, the choice is obvious.

On the walk back to the party, you feel sick. Their face lights up when they lock eyes with you. The elf squeezes your wrist, thin fingers digging into your skin. The message is clear. Be good, play along. He stalks back to his tent and you glower at his back as your master leads you somewhere to talk. They've thought about this all day. They just can't wait to catch up.

#I'm very interested in the concept of a redeemed durge who's just as taken with you as they were before the tadpole and like #it's well-intentioned and sweet but you Know what they're capable of and you Know what their destiny is so how can you let your guard down #also shocked we've never talked about Others in the tadpole crew maybe working to keep you with their friends #.durge #.bg3

belial is the worst tsc villian ever because his motivations make no sense and are quite frankly stupid. why did he spend a whole book putting an enormous amount of effort into possessing Jesse and killing a grand total of five people and very briefly summoning his brother to earth to fight one (1) Institute... like in what way did any of that help achieve his ultimate goal of crowning himself King of England I don't get it. mind you he's a literal Prince of Hell and claims he's the one who gave Lucifer the idea to rebel against God like truly why does he care this much 💀

#the reason is that Belial isnt really a character #he's a device that cc can contribute all the necessary conflict to in order to create a very weak plot & epic battle scenes #like he is Evil so he does Evil things. obviously #Jesse death? Belial. the bracelet? Grace's powers? James and Lucie's power? Belial Belial Belial #the disease & the serial killer & the resurrecting dead silent brothers and iron sisters etc etc etc its all him!!! it's all Belial!!! #why does he do it all?? hell if I know #and the series ends with him being reborn (somehow?????) and no longer giving a shit and thus nothing bad happens any more The End #also why did he get reborn anyhow? like we've seen powerful beings die before and that never happened so like?? #lilith got blasted to smithereens and scattered across every dimension because of the Mark of Cain & was still herself afterwards so.... #why is Cortana more powerful than a mark from God??? #that doesn't make sense to me idk #bella talks #chain of thorns #cot spoilers #chain of thorns spoilers #chot spoilers #the last hours #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #belial #chain of iron #chain of gold #tatiana blackthorn #James herondale #cordelia carstairs #lucie herondale #jesse blackthorn #grace blackthorn

9. The Warrior of Light has been through quite a lot, but what is a moment, big or small, that bolstered and renewed their spirit? Was it a cup of hot cocoa or a lovingly crafted sandwich? Did someone give them a few words or a gesture at just the right time that meant the world to them? (Of course, this can be a canon event or headcanon!) (x)

Corisande struggled after Haurchefant's death and though she tried to hide it from her companions, Estinien easily saw through the facade. He mostly did left her alone in that regard, but would sometimes sit quietly with her so she was not completely alone in her grief. And even though they hardly spoke, Corisande knew he understood her pain and appreciated his presence at her side. It was enough to keep her going in one of the hardest times of her life, and was the beginning of the deep friendship and respect they have for each other in the present.

#oc: corisande ymir #i feel like i write all of these answers in the tone of a student taking a test lasdkfdsa #anyway. i think a lot about that scene right before going to azys la where shtola is like we should be proud of how far we've come #and says the wol is like the hope of mankind or smth and estinien comes up like no. we still have things to accomplish #and i think it was then that cori really understood just how much he understands what its like to be them...the champion of a nation that #ppl idealize and look to even when they're suffering...idk #also i do imagine cori was like ty i appreciate that. never talk to shtola like that again. <3 asldfjsd #endwalker spoilers #ffxiv #cori lore prompts #dont @ me about the armor okay i needed his face to be visible. altho it would be funny if he just sat in silence next to cori #with his helmet on #gpose

every day I am in Agony over the fact that widomauk is the first kiss of the campaign, Caleb kissed Molly back in the very end, the literal last scene between King and Caleb is them flirting and King is still so utterly enamored with his Magician, and I just wish...there was any mention of those feelings in the wrap up or a q and a or anything. Absolutely begging Taliesin to tell us what Molly/King feels for Caleb--why he chose to make King's last moments on screen him being explicitly attracted to Caleb, and whether we will ever get to see him revisit those feelings one day...

#widomauk #it just. makes me so sad #i want to hear taliesin talk about king's feelings so bad. what caleb meant to him. why he went with That as his final scene in the campaig #and i feel like we've gotten to hear liam talk so much about caleb's unrequited feelings for jes and things like that and I just...wish #we got some sort of conversation like that from tal or liam #also the 'CALEB. SOFTNESS AND LIGHT' COMMENT THAT MOLLY HAS ABOUT HIM IN THE NOVEL. OR THE FACT LUCIEN #AND KING AND MOLLY HAVE ALL FLIRTED WITH CALEB AT SOME POINT-- #caleb being the person who fought the hardest to get molly back in that final fight. how he kept reaching for him and breaking through #lucien's control #and what that means-- #i dont know if i should feel silly or ridiculous for hoping we get to see taliesin address those feelings one day #but like...maybe this ship just hits different from someone who watched early c2 live and the way this ship was treated then #the episode right before molly died being so full of little adorable moments between the two. all the potential #seeing them get the first kiss of the campaign #matt even making their little minis kiss-- #all the missed potential and loose ends and the feelings they never got to share #would give anything to hear taliesin talk about everything king still feels for the nein #but especially his magic man ;; —

Thoughts on your tags: Rich IS like an attack dog!! he's fiercely devoted and would bite for anyone at the slightest hint of danger, but no one wants to be the hand that holds the leash. He's always the first to see himself as only a weapon and a guard dog

By the way!!! Black Order (2018) subverts this really well, he gets mindcontrolled and acts as an unwilling antagonist until the end. They call him puppy multiple times lmao

(referencing this post)

yeah <3 you're so right

i have been thinking a lot about how rich's self-dehumanization (?)/his "i'm only a weapon" kind of attitude changed post-annihilation*. like. in new warriors 43 (ish) when he intentionally kills himself to revive worldmind there's a page or two where he actually doesn't want to go through with sacrificing himself. like, he argues with adora about it pretty passionately (as per usual), and is only convinced to do what she tells him to when his friends say he has to (which is a very richie thing to do lol)

and it's just very interesting to compare this to his very blatant self-sacrificial attitude post-annihilation.

I definitely think that, even though he's always had self-sacrificing tendencies, the reason it becomes so debilitating as he gets older has got to have something to do with like. a certain lack of control over what happens to his body.

something something the nature of getting zapped with the nova force at 16 will obviously Do that to you but also like. the period during the later half of the new warriors through nova vol. 2 & 3 is a lot of xandar (adora in particular) making decisions over what happens to his body. where he gets to be how much power he's allowed to have what he's allowed to think & what he's allowed to wear. y'know? doesn't stop him from giving them the middle finger most of the time but... all of that happening when you're 19-21 will give you sooo many complexes

anyway yeah. i don't know if this means anything but i'm spinning him around in my brain microwave. i think that post appealed to me bc i think about cosmo telling rich to go for annihilus's throat an Unheathly amount. something something someone telling worldmind to keep a muzzle on their dog

ANYWHOO i think richie being an attack dog is very interesting. imo it's also why starnovamora is so interesting like. gamora doesn't need an attack dog but she thinks having one would be very hot even if she doesn't want to deal with feeding him and stuff. pete would like rich to chill out for even a moment. rich will do neither of things and if you bring any of this up to him he's going to the other side of the galaxy with his tail between his legs

thank you for the ask :) feel free to send rich asks at any time as clearly i have too many thoughts about him

*or post nova (1994) #18, depending on if you want to consider that suicide attempt his turning point?
