seconcl-best:

It was hard to read the king’s face. Leo always looked to be a stoic man. Always the type of person who could easily lie and make it seem as if everything was fine. Even if he couldn’t pinpoint the lie, Takumi still knew it was one.

He saw those eyes and knew they were the ones of a broken man.

“I can’t say my own people are innocent in this either.” The prince sighed. He hated having to swallow his pride and admit that his fellow countrymen had caused such a ruckus. That they could have potentially damaged newly formed relations with Nohr.

His eyes remained focused on the king as a brow raised in confusion “You…you didn’t hear? The fight at the border. It happened right at the center of the designated trade route.”

If Leo hadn’t heard about it, he’d honestly have to tell the king to invest in some new messengers. How had news not reached him before Takumi had? “It probably requires more proof, but from what I’ve heard a Nohrian instigated the fight. It practically turned into an all out brawl.”

Leo’s brow furrowed. If the fight was truly so awful, then Takumi was correct: he should have heard of it quite a ways before the Hoshidan Prince arrived. He could only assume that his lack of knowledge was thanks to people purposefully keeping information from him. This would not be the first time that such an instance had occurred. 

His gaze flicked over to his right to meet Niles’. His was quick to leave the room, knowing what his silent orders were: he was to investigate the situation and to interrogate Leo’s messengers. 

❝I apologize for my lack of knowledge on the topic of which you speak,❞ he conceded, clearly unhappy. ❝Decent help has been difficult to find these days, if this scrap on the border is any evidence.❞

Many of his people were still unhappy with their leader. The throne and crown had been passed down from the firstborn royals of Nohr since before anyone could remember. Leo held no such position. As a bastard child who could not wield the legendary Siegfried and wished to change the previously violent nature of the kingdom, many people wished to dethrone him. Detaining information seemed to be one of their many manners of rebelling.

Eponine immediately let out a loud groan as Leo countered her. She should have expected it. Should have seen his refusal coming a mile away. 

Being a king stunk. At least she assumed it did. His job gave him so little time for his family and when he was free it was either Zero or Forrest hogging up his time. When would she get a day alone with father? When would he play a game with her like he did Forrest? Ruffle her hair like he used to?

The hope that had been dwindling away slowly came back as Leo took notice of his missing husband. She grinned before holding tightly onto the king’s arm, refusing to let go so he couldn’t escape.

“Noooope! I guess that means you’ll have to spend the day with me.” Eponine looked up at Leo, her eyes brightening, her expression hopeful.

“You will play with me, right papa?”

Feeling little arms latch tightly onto one of his own, Leo exhaled a heavy breath. Eponine deserved his time, and he wished to give her more of it. 

Perhaps he spent more time with the younger of his two children because Forrest was the baby of the family and was generally less hyperactive. Maybe he gave Zero so much of his time because his husband would no longer be with them in a few years. However, these were no excuses to ignore his daughter’s pleas for attention and love. That just wasn’t fair to her. 

❝What sort of game do you have in mind?❞ he asked, plastering a smile onto his features. One day with his baby girl couldn’t hurt anyone, right? People would talk badly about him no matter what he did, and ignoring Eponine’s requests would only make her sad. He could handle his people disliking him, but his own daughter—?

(( HEADCANON )) Leo mastered the art of false smiles when he was a young boy. Being coerced into tricking his siblings back during the Concubine Wars, his mother often told him that a smile that looked genuine was one of the quickest ways to earn trust. As it turns out, she was right.

Leo learned to smile through his pain, looking genuinely happy as he led sibling after sibling to where his mother waited with a blade. This skill came in handy years later when he had to put on a smile for his people.

(( STARTER CALL )) Since I’m keeping things relatively under control here, let’s have another one of these fuckers. Like or reblog or reply to this post and I’ll write you up a little something.

[dastardking-blog]

(( OOC )) I have some regrets about what I posted earlier today, but not for the reasons some may think.

I still feel like what I said needed to be said, and I honestly felt like there was no way to make that point blatantly obvious without publicly posting about it. No matter how many times I addressed the issues I stated before in a private manner, they never resolved. I still believe that the behaviors I addressed in my post need to stop, and I will not change my stance on that.

What I regret is having dragged the people I care about into this. The people that I am friends with were shat on simply because they associate with me, even though they had nothing to do with the whole thing. For that, I apologize profusely. I care deeply for my friends and feel an overwhelming amount of guilt for saddling them with the aftermath of this whole thing.

I also feel as though people misinterpreted what I hoped to achieve through my post. I don’t want this fandom divided. I don’t want people to pick sides. Again, what I want is for the toxic behavior to end. It’s affected everyone, no matter who they stand by. I felt as though people having a way to voice their discomforts without being the source of the discourse might make it obvious that these sorts of things are unacceptable. However, people who had nothing to do with it ended up being the scapegoats. This is what I truly feel upset about. I would feel no shame and no remorse if I was the one being cornered for speaking up, but the fact that my friends have suffered due to my actions…is heartbreaking.

To make a long story short, I will not apologize for my post and the points that it made, but I will apologize for making people feel like they had to pick sides and dragging good, innocent people into Hel with me.

If there is anyone who would like some more evidence to back up my earlier claims, please hop into my inbox off Anonymous or send me an IM. I would rather not post it publicly. I hope that my friends can forgive me for the trouble I caused them, I hope that most can see at least some reason in what I said, and I can promise that there will be no more public posts from me on this issue.

[dastardking-blog]

(( OOC )) All right: this will be my last post on this subject for a bit.

I understand that people would like more evidence of the things that have gone down recently, and I can’t blame people for wanting solid proof. Even the people who are backing me up are saying that my evidence was less than convincing, which is more than fair.

However, as of right now, my brain, emotions, and ability to properly convey things are all fried (which might not be surprising). After last night and what I did this morning, I need some time to recollect myself. However, I have plenty of screenshots and conversations to back up my claims, which I will be happy to share publicly or privately, with the exception of a few in order to keep others from taking the brunt of the actions I decided to take.

I thank everyone who has been understanding and helpful, and I’ll get back to this as soon as I am able.

[dastardking-blog]

(( OOC )) Allow me to preface this by saying that I hate callout culture. Being publicly humiliated for the smallest of things is terrible and something that needs to stop. The only excuse for such things are when there are legitimately toxic people in a community that have hurt multiple people.

As such, I believe that a callout is necessary, and I am willing to completely destroy my reputation right here and right now by participating in the callout culture that I hate so much. The person in question has done far too much for those of us who have been hurt by it to remain silent. I will rant about the details below the cut so that it doesn’t take up everyone’s dashboards, but I implore you to read what I am saying, even if you hate me for it afterwards.

Send me all of the garbage that you want and call me out all that you want in response. I don’t care anymore. I said that there would be consequences for this sort of behavior if it continued, and I do not make empty threats.

As some of you may know, I and many others have been having issues with someone in this particular corner of the Internet. I’m not about to link to his main blog (because he has a lot, anyways), but many of the people in this community may know him as brynhildrking or Howl. Before anyone bashes me right off of the bat and assumes that this is just me getting pissy over duplicates, allow me to assure you that this is not the case. I honestly couldn’t give a rat’s ass about that. What I care about is what Howl, as a mun, has done to me and many of the people that I care about.

Let’s start small, shall we?

In terms of what Howl has done in character that isn’t okay, we can look at the basic rules that most roleplayers, both on and off of Tumblr, follow: godmodding, assuming things about a character, etc. His muses have been stupidly overpowered, and he sometimes assumes that he knows a person’s muse better than the mun who plays them. I have personal pet peeves in the IC field, such as butchering characters, all of his muses being carbon copies and such, but we won’t get into that because it’s petty.

Howl also has a bad habit of making it seem like his muses are the “be-all, end-all”. What I mean by this is that he bashes other peoples’ interpretations of canon muses in a very passive-aggressive manner. For example, my shipping something between two characters who are not at all related by blood is “incestuous” simply because it would be incestuous for his muse, who would be related to my shipping partner’s muse by blood. As such, it’s not okay for me to talk about it.

I won’t even get into his double standards on topics like incest, but they are something he approaches with little to no respect. While many people would be upset by incest and such, he has no trouble posting it in public spaces where there are no trigger warnings and the like. Not only that, but he then acts like a warning message before posting things is equivalent to being asked to stop posting said content. Not only is this not respected, but he then has the gall to ask people to tag things that he doesn’t like, as though respect for one’s triggers and squicks isn’t a two-way street.

Outside of this behavior, Howl still does a lot of things that aren’t okay. He has publicly humiliated many of the good people in this fandom for the smallest things that they sometimes aren’t even responsible for. He fetishizes people of the LGBTQ+ community by saying that they are more interesting than people who are straight or cisgendered. He apologizes for his behavior and then does it again two seconds later. He makes excuses and blames his behavior on mental illness. He “can’t forgive” people for using the Internet in a perfectly legal and healthy manner. He uses abusive tactics to shut people up and play the victim of every situation. To top it all off, when he’s confronted about the things that he’s done, here’s his response:

I know people who have cried their eyes out over Howl’s behavior—people who are enraged and uncomfortable and much more. As such, I am willing to rip my reputation to shreds. I stated that people’s actions come with consequences, and this seems like the only way to get people to realize what has been going on and how it is unacceptable. This sort of thing would never come without repercussions outside of Tumblr. That shouldn’t change on the inside.

The Internet is part of the real world—they aren’t separate. Peoples’ actions and words affect people, and Gods know that Howl’s most certainly have.

Examine: chess set

♚ meme ♚

You EXAMINE the chess set. It is old and wooden, having been in the palace since before you could remember—before you were ever even born. It was once a possession of the late Crown Prince Xander of Nohr, and something that the two of you had bonded over many times. It belongs to you now, but it sits on a table in your bedroom collecting dust for the most part.

♚ → PLAY CHESS→ REMINISCE→ THROW IT AWAY

You have nobody to PLAY CHESS with, as you are currently alone. You could play against yourself, you suppose, as you have done many times to practice your strategy…but that would be a waste of time right now.

→ REMINISCE♚ → THROW IT AWAY

You will by no means THROW IT AWAY. The memories that seeing it brings are bittersweet, but you could never forgive yourself for getting rid of anything that was once your brother’s. 

♚ → REMINISCE

Having exhausted your other options, you decide to REMINISCE. You remember the day that Xander first taught you how to play what would grow to be your favorite game. You remember how it was the only thing you could ever best him in. You remember how Elise refused to play with you because you would always win ‘and playing nothing but chess is boring’. You remember how Camilla found the old, wooden set so many years later when she was in Xander’s now-cold and empty bedroom.

♚ → START CRYING

You refuse to START CRYING. You still have so much work to do.

Examine: Best daughter ever. Aka Neener

♚ meme ♚

You EXAMINE Nina through the doorway, being careful to not open it too far and cause light to hit her features. You can feel a slight draft from inside graze the hair on your arms. Your eyes, well-adjusted to the dimness of Nohr, can see that her own are closed. She is sound asleep, and this relieves you…but what should you do now?

♚ → LOOK CLOSER→ WALK AWAY

You carefully push the door open a bit further. Now that you LOOK CLOSER, you can see that Nina has left her window ajar. This must be where that breeze is coming from. You also notice that your younger son, Forrest, is curled up beside her. This is far from an uncommon sight to be greeted with: he often sneaks into her room at night. What will you do?

→ TAKE FORREST♚ → SHUT THE WINDOW→ WALK AWAY

Slipping quietly into the bedroom, you immediately go to SHUT THE WINDOW. How many times have you told Nina to close this damned thing before she goes to sleep? You’ve lost count. While fresh air is far from the worst thing that a person could get, one or both of your children could end up falling ill if exposed to the cold overnight. What are you going to do with this girl…?

♚ → WALK AWAY→ TAKE FORREST

You decide to WALK AWAY before you disturb your daughter or son. Nina, especially, has always been a light sleeper. You whisper a quiet ‘sleep well’ before closing the door behind you and heading back to your study where you will spend the night.

examine + Felicia

♚ meme ♚

You EXAMINE Felicia. You’re not sure what you expected, quite honestly, but she’s doing the same sort of thing that you can usually find her doing: mumbling to herself and tripping over her own feet. The sound of clattering metal and breaking plates is one that you’re familiar with after years of her service (if you could even call it that). What do you wish to do?

♚ → SIGH→ WALK AWAY→ ASSIST

You release a heavy SIGH. You then realize that this is likely not the best course of action. Perhaps you should try something else.

→ SIGH→ WALK AWAY♚ → ASSIST

You make your way over to ASSIST in cleaning up the mess. You may be busy with governing an entire nation most of the time, but this doesn’t mean that you’re useless in situations like these. Getting down on your hands and knees, you begin to pick up some of the shattered porcelain. You’re just glad that there wasn’t a boiling drink on the tray that she had dropped as well.
