merrill dragon age really reverse engineered an eluvian from first principles in a cave with a box of scraps and one single blighted shard. and STILL she gets no respect for it from anyone but potentially hawke, at least in a confused yet well-meaning 'are ya winning son' sort of way on the friendship path. dark days for women in STEM
(really though it seems the equivalent of a person in the middle ages putting together a nokia phone from rocks and sticks (and one coaching session from a spirit, fair enough) and then just not being able to figure out how to turn it on even though it is fully functioning. magically at least merrill is inarguably a genius. the tony stark of kirkwall. well not really that comparison falls apart pretty quickly but you see what I'm saying here lmao)
I'm still not over how ridiculously intense Cheng Xiaoshi's words were when he first met Lu Guang. Like sweet Christ, was he having to bet a kidney on this amateur basketball match to make rent?
I get that he's like 16 here, and 16 year olds say the awkwardest of things because that's the age most of us haven't realised we're not the next great philosopher of our time. But Cheng Xiaoshi, boy, TONE IT DOWN HERE, YOU'RE COMING ON WAY TOO STRONG!!
What hole in Lu Guang's life caused him to hear this and go "...Yes." He heard this and then looked like a newborn baby deer staring in awe at something calmingly delightful like HOW DID THIS WORK???
Lu Guang later said what drew him to Cheng Xiaoshi the most was how sincere he was.
Was Lu Guang experience of trying to call Cheng Xiaoshi cringe, and Xiaoshi's response of "I am not cringe, but I am having fun because I got to hang out with you," so powerful that it just shattered some deep-rooted, jaded attitude Lu Guang had been fostering up until now?
Like was this Lu Guang's equivalent of Nagi's awakening in Blue Lock?!
pining luffy is actually my favorite thing ever. make the careless boy shy! make him blush! make him fixate on a person for days! make him oblivious to his own feelings until he suddenly realizes he's feeling romantic love for the first time and he doesn't know what to do with it! make him hide behind his straw hat! make him stare at the person he likes for hours! make him malfunction! luffy.exe stopped working! make him so in love he can't even think about his usual shenanigans!
Sometimes boys will be boys just means a guy will make a very long and difficult trip through the nether without elytras and a stack of diamonds just to be knighted by one of his friends and out of spite because his other friend didn't believe he could do it.
Tfw the latest guy you're gay about is so fucking oblivious you can literally bitch about him right in front of him and he assumes you're talking about someone else 🌸👌
The hanahaki stuff is all an au of me and Res' 3sig+ AU. Beautiful idiot peepaw Sig belongs to @ressioo and we love him very much.
In my delulu Alastor always loved the sound of Vox' voice while the content was just secondary entertainment. Really just taking in the airwaves and tunes of his voice while he gets excited and goes on forever about what he wants to achieve in the future /what he has archived over the last 7 years. They also never had a proposal or fight and just stayed friends with regularly meet ups to chat abt this and that like the old men they are.
