New headcannon! In relation to this. If we took that as being something that could have happened with the same Cross and Dream from darkcream, my headcannon iss.

Cross never actually read Dream this letter, perhaps tried to throw it out, but Dream saved it. He later comes to realise it might have been some sort of love confession, based on context of what happens soon afterwards. But he still doesn't actually know what it actually says.

Only then years later, handing the letter back to Cross, to ask him to read it to him on there wedding night.

Sickly sweet, but wanted to share something none angst related

Too sweet to resist ♡

Jesus, he thinks, something is wrong with us, we are unwell, no one has ever felt any of this without destruction. Empires have fallen like this, he thinks, but it only makes him want her more, makes him look at his hands and think, My god, what a waste of time doing anything else but holding her. What a waste, and then he says aloud, JesusfuckingChrist what have you done to me? And she says, Kiss me.

He kisses her, thinks, Go on, ruin me. Wreck me, please. 

She kisses him back and she does. [x]

dana scully you didn’t stand a chance and neither did i. this was one of the top ten romantic things i have ever seen in my entire life

#misc. #x files #i think about the sixth extinction i & ii: amor fati more than i should #bc i just wanted to kiss his forehead and put him to bed in it #that scene where diana said she wondered what fox was dreaming abt #and the csm said he was dreaming of what all men like him do: normalcy #the way he imagined an entire life with diana — the wedding and the babies and his sister living just down the street #with her own children #but at the end he was old and dying and alone and it was dana standing there #holding his hand telling him this wasn’t the end. that he couldn’t die. that she wouldn’t let him #that’s true love for fox: not a fantasy but someone who will remain real and constant and true even when it is hard #bc no one in his life ever was. dana won’t leave him. not in dreams. not in life. it makes me so 😭

pssst hey if you want an Ed/Stede wedding there is one in the epilogue of Something timeless going on 💕 my first multi-chapter fic that i wrote almost a year ago (37k, E, canon divergence/pining while fucking)

#it's not spoilers if it's tagged “matelotage” is it #wow we are really coming up on the anniversary of this fic wtf #things i am proud of in this fic: 1) doing the stede writing ed letters thing without knowing it would be a thing in s2 #2) the “they're both the manic pixie dream girl” tag considering how djenks has called stede ed's manic pixie dream girl in interviews lmao #3) that scene where they both top and both bottom i always hc both as vers but that is still the most vers i have managed to write them #4) the wedding outfits 😭 i really wish i could see those #5) honestly just finishing this fic in the first place because at the time it was the longest thing i'd written in 12 years #now it's of course five birthdays and a funeral #“slow burn but they're fucking” tag my beloved <3 #my fics #ofmd fic

Starting to feel a little guilty at reblogging with more additions and thoughts on the original post, so branching out to a new “they’re absolutely insane as humans” dreamling post as an extension.

Dream: I’ve always had a great affinity for ravens and corvids in general.

(like that’s a thing normal people say when they’ve got two rescue ravens perched on their shoulders, preening their hair)

Hob: don’t I know it. my mum used to say I was her magpie, always drawn to the shiniest treasure. proven her right, obviously.

Dream: oh?

Hob: don’t get much better than you, love. I’ve seen pearls less lustrous.

Dream: [pleased]

Johanna, deeply disgusted and preparing to lob chips at them: we have TALKED about this.

Hob: don’t be petty, you know you’re going to bugger off with your secret little romantic heart nourished against the cynicism of the world for another month.

Johanna: you take that back right now or I’ll set you on fire.

Hob, cheerfully: you can’t, Jessamy stole your lighter.

Dream: oh, is that what she dropped in my collar?

Hob, kissing Dream’s palm: mhm, Matthew was the distraction. It was when he went for the butter knife.

Johanna, offended: you gave them bits of your sandwich meat after that!

Hob: have to reward that kind of cleverness. Coordinating teamwork with a decoy? Extraordinary.

#dreamling #the sandman #even as mortal humans dream and hob are going to find a way to be insane #and i keep having further thoughts about it #so enjoy this series of comedic scenes and sketches? #🤷🏻‍♀️ sorry not sorry? #that’s also the response Dream sent to Destiny when he texted expressing displeasure at the lack of wedding invite

@ladytessa74 got me thinking about the timeline again...never a good idea! 😂

What I particularly don't understand about the timeline is WHY? No one forced them to put specific numbers on things. WHY say the wedding is happening in 8 weeks and then make absolutely no effort to make that make sense for the rest of the season??

My theory is that when they wrote the first few episodes, they put the 8 week thing in because it worked for what they wanted to do in that first arc. They wanted the urgency of only 8 weeks until the wedding. Carlos wanted to make TK happy by giving him a wedding at his dream venue BUT oh no! He was still married to Iris! The 8 week deadline gave him just barely enough time to get divorced from Iris, made even more urgent when Iris went missing before she could sign the divorce papers! That was the sole purpose of the 8 weeks. I don't think they really thought it through further than that.

Even with all the wedding mentions for the rest of the season, having to quickly plan a wedding in 8 weeks was never a real issue after that first arc. It didn't change anything or drive the plot forward once those first few episodes were over. After the purpose of creating urgency in that first arc had been served, the fact that they had to put a whole big wedding together in just 8 weeks didn't matter anymore.

Of course, this still doesn't really explain why the writers don't care to maintain basic continuity on their own show. I wonder if it has to do with how quickly the whole thing is produced? A lot goes into making this show and a lot of it is happening at once. They're writing and filming episodes and doing post-production on episodes about to air all at the same time. Still seems like they should be able to maintain basic continuity, but it doesn't really seem like an ideal system. Who sets it up this way? It must be the network. I kind of doubt the creatives involved would actually choose to do it this way if they had any kind of a choice. Is the real villain here capitalism???

Anyway, maybe this is a silver lining to the ungodly long hiatus before season 5. It might give the writers time to more thoroughly think through the entire season before they start filming perhaps? Probably not...but I can dream.

#you know what they should have done? #after 4x04 and carlos' experience being held captive #they should have decided to postpone the wedding and not go through with the 8 week deadline at the dream venue #they could have had carlos struggling dealing with the aftermath of what happened to him #tk could have said something like #'all I care about is that you're ok...we don't have to get married at my dream venue...I just want to be married to you' #and they could have like caressed each other's faces or something #and then kissed #and we all would have swooned over the scene and made/reblogged gifs of it for weeks on end #and then they could have found some other venue at a later date #and they honestly could have done everything else the same and it wouldn't have mattered #except i wouldn't be plagued by the ridiculous 8 week deadline!! #lone star timeline discourse

a man will see a c!quackity and go "is anyone gonna degrade That?" and not wait for an answer. part One (essay in tags as usual)

part two here

#part one because it has happened… too many times to fit into one video #and even then it’s not comprehensive like i included Nothing from the white house argument #and while i know some (particularly the wedding scene) were for a Bit it is very interesting how those one-offs became More than one-offs #how this treatment became a Pattern and how it legitimately influenced his character’s arc and behavior and thought process #it’s like. the way that so many men in q’s life have said he is valuable to them as an object of attraction and nothing more #and how he ends up getting sick and tired over having no autonomy over his own life and how he wants to Prove to other ppl #that he’s capable and competent and worth something More #quackity #dream smp #tw abuse #tw objectification #ask to tag #this has been in my drafts forever so fuck it im posting

This snippet of dialogue from Romeo & Juliet always gives me heavy Lucien vibes and I need to share the brainrot with you

aHH oh I can definitely see it...I especially love the phrase, "Beautiful tyrant, fiend angelical," because it reminds me of when Matt was describing some of the imagery that inspired Lucien's transformation.

In response to Aabria asking, "And why is he mostly naked?"--which, already an amazing and hilarious start--Matt gives us this amazing allusion, "It is very much that angelic, biblical kind of visual--that classic painting I reference. And I wanted...wanted to see his muscles--"

And although Matt never confirms which painting Lucien's Neo Somnovem form is based off of, I always had a feeling it was Fallen Angel. Instantly recognizable, incredibly poignant and tragic. The anger in his eyes, yet the vulnerability of his pose. The way he's grounded down on earth while the rest of the angels are free to fly. Cast down and forgotten--very Lucien to me.

There's also just this facinating parallel to me of those with infernal blood being given wings or other angelic features--as a mark of being so far gone and corrupted. Obann's coveted wings, thematically ripped apart by a real angel when he's struck down. The fiendish Lord of the Hells, Asmodeus, once a "celestial of light"--"Perhaps at one point he wore a golden face...That's long gone."

And then Lucien, who always dreamed of being a butterfly. Transforming into something free and beautiful. Yet his metamorphosis ends in only blood and ruin, wings of bone that will never be able to take flight. He believed himself to be a divinely ordained god, yet when he's finally granted wings, he's more doomed than ever.

And just...the way that Lucien was demonized for his blood for so long, seen as nothing more than a monster. Someone who could never possibly be loved. Even Jester playfully teasing, "I think you're dreamy," takes him completely by surprise. “That’s a new one, as the years went on. Didn’t start that way. Not a lot of folks are eager and kind--especially in Shadycreek Run, growing up--to those of infernal blood.” I think there's also something to be said for Tealeaf literally being someone of infernal blood who uses their blood magic to inflict radiant damage. Something about divine punishment from a demon.

Mollymauk is even called the devil at one point, and it's a moment where we see why Lucien always clung so desperately to being fate touched, to the faint hope that he was destined for more, that there was a future where he would no longer have to be an outcast and a monster, always betrayed and alone. "'The world is yours...We gladly give it to thee...' 'How will I take it? What will it cost?' 'Pain and pain and pain. A dear price for a man, a pittance to a king. And nothing to a God, cosmically ordained...Long may you reign.'" "She's right, this is awfully coincidental...But then, you don't believe in coincidences, do you, Chosen One?"

Going back to theatre and tragedies for a moment--I truly can't get over the fact that Lucien liked performing in plays as a child, and that his parents always cast him as the villain. Lucien portraying the heartless, tyrant knight, demanding that a king murder his own queen if he wants to save his kingdom. "Your lands are surrounded, your castle besieged. Send out your lady love, strike her down before my armies. Her blood for your freedom!"

And I do kind of wonder if the queen's tragic end foreshadows Molly's own choice to tear himself apart to save the rest of the Nein. Lucien the heartless knight, demanding the king sacrifice his beloved queen. Lucien repeatedly telling the Nein to just let go of Mollymauk, to forsake the one person they came this far for. The Mighty Nein risking everything for one doomed, shattered soul. "Not the queen! Not the queen! For our king loves her beyond measure, and she is vanity itself. The kingdom for one soul, and the price never to be paid!" Molly ultimately choosing to give up himself, even though the Nein couldn't. Wholeheartedly believing, "It was worth it. It was worth it--"

Lucien's role in the tragedy also reminds me a bit of the opening for King Richard III. Lucien being as much of a romantic as Mollymauk, but deciding that if he'll never be loved or saved, then he might as well be the coldhearted villain that the whole world tried to make him. "And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover/To entertain these fair, well-spoken days/I am determined to prove a villain."

Resenting Mollymauk for the fact that his soul is so free and full of joy, that this "forgotten fragment," is so adored by the same world that despised him. Begrudging Molly for all the happiness and comforts he never indulged in. Clinging so fiercely to the belief that he was chosen by destiny, some sort of god or king. That he was always meant for more than this tragic, inescapable fate--

#lucien tavelle #critical role #matt saying its cannon lucien is inspired by the image of a fallen angel makes my whole heart hurt #also just. can you imagine if lucien really ended up being this ghost haunting molly to try and get his body back like matt intended-- #i do think wed get a scene of him offering to spare the rest of the nein if theyd surrender molly like in luciens childhood play-- #also I just love the image of someone with infernal blood dreaming of being divine

Oh god I just realized Time to Dance might be inspired by Invisible Monsters? 

#im reading invisible monsters rn and despite not listening to patd at all since like... 2020 or whatever #i have time to dance stuck in my head #and just realized... bc every time the book mentioned aubergine dreams i've been like 'huh like the song' #and i didn't think much of it #but this morning i had it stuck in my head and i realized that the chorus is like 'give me [x thing] give me [x thing]' like the book #and also the opening scene of the book actually when i was reading it i was like #'oh shotgun wedding that's a term i've only seen used before in that p!atd song' #WILD #it all makes sense now #this feels so weird #time to dance #panic! at the disco #p!atd #invisible monsters #chuck palahniuk #dante dicit

Woken up from a dream wherein Crowley and Aziraphale got married: Aziraphale dressed in a white suit with cream trim, Crowley dressed in a black one with grey or red trim (Icr). A lady bishop (who may or may not have been The Almighty herself) officiating in a cute little country church while the fucking light of God spills in through the stain glass windows.

My dumbass, not knowing I was asleep, was pissed because I thought I'd just seen major S3 spoilers. Legit went "ffs somebody forgot to tag this with a spoiler warning and now season 3 is ruined."

But ever since I've returned to the world of the woken I've just been-

#I cannot deal #it was disgusting #my mind is suffering with THEM #they were so handsome #this is now my canon ending for GO apparently #they even had dumb matching top hats like the 1862 scene in St James' park #I want to cry #make it stop #I was not prepared to handle the weight of these emotions #ineffable wedding #good omens #ineffable husbands #literally #go3 #good omens season 3 #dreams #my eyes are wet #bugger all this for a lark

[wandercr]

thinkin about the fact that eliana would have been excited to wear the same wedding dress her mother did, but not only did she never get the chance, said dress did not exist :)

#╰ ✿ ╮ ━ ❝ sky speaks. ❞ ( ooc ) #people can beef all they want with the tv show idc #i really appreciate how it so casually fleshed out things in the vault that the games simply don't have the bandwidth to focus on? #there was something very fascinating and touching about the scene where lucy signs and dates the dress #tiny amata and eliana dreaming up their perfect weddings ... both of them so excited to wear their mom's dress ... fml
