Character parallels - Tabris Origin | Loghain Mac Tir

"I see that the path that led you here was not easy. There is suffering in your past: your suffering, and the suffering of others. By the time you reached Shianni, she was broken, brutalized – you were too late. Tell me, pilgrim, did you fail Shianni?" "Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir, the brilliant commander. Pity the one time you tried to rule, you failed so miserably. You had to be beaten, humiliated, lest you destroy your own country. You even doomed the Wardens by bringing the Inquisitor down on them. You destroy everything you touch."

#dragon age #dragon age origins #da:o #loghain mac tir #warden tabris #kallian tabris #my stuff #this doesnt look my own tabris at all lol BUT #kristen stewart would deliver a world-weary tabris so well #i know loghain can parallel any of the wardens #but there's something about kallian tabris that just makes it COMPLETE #and its also why i love anora becoming queen and bestowing that title #it just makes SO much sense for it to come from her #to use the myth of her father to create a new one #youre stepping into loghain's shoes. you're taking his mantle #and the knowledge of his fate dangling over your head #of what he became #how both the warden and loghain have death seem to be dead from the start #heroes living past their time!!! #anyway this got out of control #but point is: #tabris and anora and loghain and the weird chain of mythology and legend my BELOVEDS

I was listening to that song "Space is Cool" that a fan made with Markiplier videos (what can I say, the music is really good).

And it reminded me of Danny, who's also so very in love with space.

And now I'm getting a clear mental picture of Danny full-on GUSHING about Space, in a sort of Outside POV thing.

Like, a Danny who's going to Uni in somewhere like Gotham or Star City, and got into the Astronomy club. And their "recruitment video" is just the cute freshman who adores space and will take any chance he gets to gush about it.

There's a lot of shots zoomed in on his pupils doing the cat thing of going from slits to big pools of black (like a black hole at the center of a galaxy) and his freckles start glowing in constellation patterns.

They go on an outing to the nearest Observatory, make it a sleepover thing, and sleepy Danny stretches and howls like a star, flops onto the nearest classmate and Club Member, and starts purring whenever they pet him.

He may be a meta, but they'll be damned if anyone blabbers to Batman about it.

Cue one Conner Kent coming to Gotham to tour their University, to pick where he wants to go when it's his turn next year, and find himself sitting next to Danny when he goes off on a rant about some deep space scans that caught images of Krypton before the explosion.

When asked about his opinion on the Supers, Danny, who's gotten so used to casual affections being directed towards him in the form of head scratches and hugs (they make Danny purr and light up in all kinds of patterns, so the club members do it as often as they can), pats him on the head and quietly praises Superboy for all the important work he does, and how his cloned little sister has always seen him as a mark that being a clone means nothing in the grand scheme of things, and it's who you are that counts.

Conner goes back to his parents in happy tears and with an invitation to attend Gotham U if he so chooses.

#dpxdc #bones submissions #i want an Older Danny who's so soft to the younger teen heroes #especially the ones with a darker past #he knows the struggle to make others see that you're better than what everyone thinks #Ellie melts back into her age in living yers and develops a puppy crush on Kon for being a clone and still being loved #time and therapy lead Clark to realize Superboy is an innocent kid who hasnt been alive for more than a handful of years #so they have one last screaming match #that ends with a 'i hate that i can't help but want you as my dad' 'i know. and im sorry. i want to prove to you that I can be better' #Lois made both of them go to therapy for their issues #Conner is divided between being a little in love with Danny #or afraid of introducing him to Tim and the others #joke's on him Tim is a part of the Astronomy Club #he orchestrated their meeting

Thinking about "your weakness is how you always want to be the hero" and how the series returns to this at the end

Li Lianhua hated how he acted as Li Xiangyi and spent years trying to distance himself from it, but ultimately he still fell back into the similar patterns, for all his added experience

His main priority was always to "do the right thing" regardless of how that would impact on those around him. And it *did* impact those around him. From Qiao Wanmian and Shan Gudao as Li Xiangyi to Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng as Li Lianhua

Giving the Styx flower to the emperor so he could use it as leverage to guarantee Fang Duobing and his family's safety. Using the last of his power to save Yun Biqiu. Constantly putting others above himself whilst actively refusing to recognise that his self-sacrificial nature would hurt those he cared about most

And sure, he thinks he's going to die anyway. They're going to be hurt regardless and he can't do anything about that. His odds are low of the Styx flower even working. But ultimately, he refuses to even consider trying. Li Xiangyi has been dead a long time and Li Lianhua is just there to tide things over. What value is the life of a ghost

To the end, he lives and dies a hero. To the end, he refuses to live for himself.

#sth about how he almost managed to live for himself but his past and need to do right doomed him. #those missing years before canon starts were probably the closest he got but even then the knowledge he couldn't use martial arts #must have killed him (no pun intended). because he'd put so much stock in his identity as sigu sect leader + hero + prodigy #so to have such a massive part of his identity stripped from him... honestly it doesn't seem that he ever fully comes to terms with it #but he makes progress and he tries to do better. + that leads to him becoming a different type of 'hero' than the symbol he was originally #deep down he wants to help people with all he has but his capacity isn't infinite + at some point can only be taken from himself #mysterious lotus casebook #mlc spoilers #also to be clear I mention shan gudao not to say lxy should have realised earlier bc for a lot of the time he was too young to notice #and later on sgd did better at hiding his intentions. but more for how lxy tunnel visioned towards his idea of righteousness #and steamrolled over everyone else. both sgd and qwm were placed far below the importance of the sigu sect #and lxy's arrogance made it such that sigu became reliant on him alone as he shut others out (hence domino fall once he went). #idk if he could ever have 'fixed' what was btwn him and sgd bc it was so deep rooted but I do think that his actions #helped convince sgd that sgd was entirely in the right to choose his path #mlc #edit: just went and checked the exact wording of the TL and it's actually 'you like being a hero' rather than 'you want to be the hero' #which is different but still close enough in implications for my point to stand (I think)

I like this scene because when I was writing it I was thinking about how fun everything would be once Alberu joins the party ahaha

This poor guy will not only have to deal with Regressor Cale, but Regressor Choi Han AND Kim Roksoo. Those three will never let the opportunity to tease Alberu slip by. Also I find this one scene really funny because Alberu is absolutely thinking to himself ‘what the hell was that’ when he made eye contact with Cale, the young master of the Henituse family who is famous for his brutal honesty and words, is smiling at him in a way that reminded Alberu too much of himself.

Realistically, there should be no way the young master knows anything about him, not when they had only exchanged a few greetings in passing. Sure, the Henituse county was rich, but they had no reason to dig for information on him unless he provoked them. So why did it feel like Cale Henituse knew something very important about him?

#the rings of life is a very scary power lol #Poor Alberu #he doesn’t know that Cale already has a part of his secret figured out #anyway I think the rings of life works in a way where the rings of different species have differences #like obviously the rings of a plant and a human wouldn’t be the same #due to the difference between how the two experience time #and as 1/4 dark elf Alberu would also experience time differently from those who are human #since he’s still a dark elf #I thought of it as the rings being closer together #like y’all know how trees got layers cause of the bark they have over the years #something like that but they’re closer together because there’s more years to live #and it’s ’less time’ to them overall #rings of a Regressor would have them overlapping and flickering with the rings of the past and the rings of the present #maybe I should make a seperate post on how I think the power works/ looks even if it isn’t canon stuff #just rambling #tcf #lcf fanfic #og cale henituse #kim roksoo #Choi Han #the birth of a hero #lcf fanart #from [in the borderline] on ao3 #lcf

my tears of the kingdom dlc wishlist in no particular order;

dungeons not related to the immediate story that have unique bosses but give you fun items that give you different perks

more outfits

an option you can select on the main menu after you've completed the game by beating ganondorf at least once where you get a segment of post game content that acts like an epilogue

either two new quests like a call from the depths, or eight new shrines, or two new dungeons with heart containers to even out the health bar/stamina wheel

a side adventure where you help a team of different folks build new settlements in select areas of hyrule, possibly even the depths

a flying construct in the vein of the master cycle that people can earn that never disappears, is easy to control, and doesn't eat up your battery as fast as fans typically do

a side adventure/whole dlc pack that delves into the hero referenced in botw from 10,000 years ago on the mural and in the hero's aspect

a side adventure where cece hires link to hunt down the culprit who has been making knock-offs of her clothing brand, and it turns out to be the yiga as a money-making scheme

#totk #loz #tears of the kingdom #i just really wanna know more about that hero #since he's now clearly referenced to be a zonai with the aspect #was he from the royal family and one of Rauru and Sonia's offscreen kids? #or is he maybe Mineru's descendants? #how much time passed between the ancient events of totk and the calamity from 10000 years prior to botws start? #how long can zonai live for if they're considered to be practically gods/are gods? #it'd be really cool if there was a dlc pack that had its story revolve around that time period #since this era of zelda seems to heavily emphasize how the past impacts the present and future #we could see an expansion on how hyrule grew as a kingdom with the fading influence from the zonai #perhaps hylians and the other races still remembered the war with the demon king in this time period 10000 years ago #and those who survived that war remembered the sage of time's warning that the demon king will continue on #and so they prepared #by creating the divine beasts and guardians

#arttag #fable #fable 2 #fable ii #hero of bowerstone #hero of bower lake #after returning from the spire sparrow met and got close to bowerstone's alchemist #her name was moira and she was bonkers #wicked fucking clever and basically a walking encyclopedia. studied alchemy in samarkand for years #lost all her common sense after meeting sparrow because hey! now she had someone to watch her back while she collected weird ingredients! #so they were very active and always out and about even after having their daughter beryl #it wasn't a perfect relationship; sparrow couldn't be helped just through being loved and they refused to fully open up to moira #she never heard a word about sparrow's past; they thought that was a way to protect her #on top of the shame and shock and grief keeping them from talking about it #so they never connected quite as fully as they would've liked; didn't have time to either #and even though it was just a distraction it still gave everyone a couple years of comfort #got sparrow to start playing the lute again like they used to as a teen living in the lake camp #got them to reconnect briefly with the normal world and feel like a human again #until lucien did his thing #well #in the end the love was there. on both sides #it didn't change anything #but it was there #also also this was totally inspired by one of @tantaliart's older pieces... sorry tanta your stuff drives me insane in the best ways #go follow her

[encrucijada]

might be silly and write bullet points for a possible tears of the kingdom fic 🫶

#i really like the lore we got but i can never let go of my first thoughts when seeing the opening of the game #i thought rauru was the original hero of legend #not skyward sword link but The Hero. hylia's hero #and i thought zelda would be accompanied by a zonai of her own who'd be hylia #i thought the statue at the end of every shrine were the first zelda (ss zelda basically) and hylia #and i Know the lore between games doesn't have to match up #but botw had the perfect excuse of being set like 10k years in the future so it made every past game possible #and then totk was like lol we're going back to the start of the timeline and it's Not skyward sword #it's personally annoying TO ME ‼️ #so i want to write that version that lives in my head #where the zonai are the original species and some ascended into gods #hence farore. din. and nayru being dragons #i'm also annoyed totk ganondorf is like a mixture betwee demise and oot ganondorf #tf you mean he was trapped under eath hyrule castle?? did he not reincarnate during that time?? aside from manifesting as calamity twice?? #is totk not the beginning of the timeline. instead its “past timeline” is just what happens before botw but not any of the other games #hyrule how has it been more than 10k and you haven't invented the industrial revolution #i digress sorry for the tags bible #pia writes fanfic

Came to the realization that Robin is everything Grima wishes they were and I'm gonna spend an indefinite amount of time obsessing over it

#fire emblem #fire emblem awakening #fe13 #robin #grima #my rambles #i know this sounds insane but hear me out #grima has a line in their main heroes form where they ponder how their life would have been if they were human #and while its a reference to robin wishing they were fully human and able to live with the shepherds from future past 3 it still fits great #robin spends their new life in a friendly environment with people who care deeply about them and trust them with their life #while grima was viewed solely has as a threat to be destroyed or a weapon to made use of ever since they were born #robin gets to forge so many bonds with so many people while grima spent aeons trapped alone in a labyrinth after their creator #tried to kill them #and even after robin proves to be a genuine potential threat to the world the shepherds still stick by them and believe in them #while grima has always been viewed as a menace simply for existing #robin gets to be caring snarky silly and have genuine interest in things and most of all hope #while grima by the time of awakening has been so consumed by hatred and cynicism they wish everything including themselves to end #i know some of this stuff is hc but that won't stop me from obsessing over these two #should i have put this ramble on the actual post and not on tags? probably

As unrealistic as it may be in the context of canon, I really like the idea of Espio establishing a training dojo of his own in the future and helping train new generations of ninja warriors, and it’s successful enough to have survived into Silver’s time where sometimes Silver sees people from his era with fighting styles and battle techniques he vaguely recognizes from somewhere…

Maybe it starts first with just him and some of his friends! E.g. Amy's switched out the boxercising for ninja training and Knuckles figured learning a new fighting style couldn't hurt, haha. And from then onwards some more friends begin joining because it's altogether a good time, and then someone brings an acquaintance who is interested in it along, and from then onwards it begins to expand further. It'd be cool if Silver also helped with setting it up in the past! The fruits of his labour then carry over right into the future, where he can see how it has blossomed and developed. And even if nobody realises that the Silver honoured in the dojo for two hundred years and the lanky, cheerful teenager/young adult in their midst are the same person, Silver makes quite a name for himself with how he can ninja-wipe the floor with everyone!

#okay so I *love* the idea that nobody realises the Silver sometimes mentioned to spend time with Sonic the hero in the past and the Silver- #-who lives in the future are the same person #Silver has long learned that trying to rectify that confusion just makes people not believe him so he rolls with it lol #surely it's not uncommon for children to be named after the famous heroes of two centuries past #silver the hedgehog #espio the chameleon #he tells Es about it when he travels back in time again and Es is beyond touched <3

Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero [two episodes] > ALL CHARACTERS

Although this series usually doesn't include eligible characters, there are a couple of episodes that do include or even revolve around anthropomorphic objects. The most noteworthy being: "Balls!" and its sequel "Back to the Past of Future Balls".

As with Beauty and the Beast, there are some characters in these episodes (the main characters) that appear in the form of an object, but are actually humans. I even count this as "all characters", because the world these two episodes majorly take place in, technically only is inhabited by actual objects (sport balls and equipment).

Episode: Balls! (2015)

Episode: Back to the Past of Future Balls (2017)

We remember how much his ‘look at what they’re doing, what they’re asking you to do,’ monologue slapped, but what Deacon doesn’t get enough credit for is that he’s right about every single faction when he cautions you too.

#I have been thinking about this a lot but his problem with the Minutemen is he doesn’t trust the power structure as not likely to corrupt & #while if you’re a good General the Minutemen stay in corrupted and are /very good/ they can also become used by a bad PC and deeply corrupt #and even convinced to sell out the commonwealth to the institute AND think they’re doing the right thing so he’s actually 4-for-4 #he’s a little harsh maybe but he’s /not/ wrong and people don’t talk about that or the monutemen’s potential for corruption either #I adore the Minutemen! they’re great. working hard RN to drag Deacon on their entire quest line so he will like them better. but this does #not change they have the potential for deep corruption as well as becoming a great group. it’s so /easy/ to tell people who to hate and why #when you’re in charge. and the difference between them and the Railroad is the Railroad knows they’re signing on to a death sentence and #everyone is there out of a personal experience and personal conviction to do what they think is right. none of them have heard these people #are heroes and think they can become heroes by signing on. they’re a bunch of traumatized - angry - hurt people desperate to not let #something that happened to them before happen again. you can’t easily corrupt viciously held personal beliefs #now it’s not necessarily bad either that the Minutemen represent hope and justice and good! hope is vital and so is potential. people have #to believe in something right? but it does introduce the easy threat of being corrupted because people are there for the idea of something #and ideas corrupt quicker in reality than action plans do. I think it’s fascinating #Anyway Preston deserves a Minutemen who live up to what he saw them as as a child and the commonwealth needs real good guys and I will / #/always/ see he and they get them. but I don’t think Deacon is given credit foe the validity of his criticism. #it happened when he was young. they sold out and power corrupted and almost all of them and a lot of civilians died. that doesn’t have to #happen again. they /can/ be different: but it’s important to remember how easily it did last time. learn from the past. move forward #fallout 4 #god I love the Minutemen though they’re very sweet. the fear in my soul when I see three people in cowboy hats with muskets and no armor #trying to take out a sentry bot in the distance let me tell you even on survival I jump into danger with a panic previously unknown #kind little fools. they’re doing great : ) 💙

I do wish SB did some things better, but truly it’s the playground of eyrie lore I love messing around in the most

#it’s a terrible time for them #something about the learning to live with the loss of innocence that came with HW #the loss of the last pieces of them clinging to innocence #innocence here being the ideal hero. the person who stormed praetorium #the last bits of them clinging to the uncomplicated died in SB #it’s the first big breaking point between eyrie and the scions #it’s just the crux of a lot of character development #spurred on by MSQ + the past coming back in #changing around some lore means doma isn’t as fraught as it was before but ala mhigo is a difficult time #its the expansion where eyrie makes choices for themselves #that shape so much of them in shb and ew #oc: eyrie kisne
