guys, guys, guys not only will Daenerys be forced to reckon her ambition of claiming the iron throne with the emotion of destroying her “only” kin and a Targaryen with better a claim (Aegon VI Targaryen), but Barristan Selmy will be forced to choose again between his love, Ashara Dayne, being on the other side of the war and the righteous honour he has so obstinately clung to while ultimately choosing the wrong side no matter what

Simon enjoys teaching you new things and sharing his knowledge. He’s patient and eager to impart wisdom, whether it’s about survival skills, history, or random trivia. He frequently surprises you with thoughtful gifts or gestures to show his affection. These gifts could be practical items, like survival gear, or sentimental objects from the past.
Simon might isolate you from potential threats, which could mean limiting your interactions with other people or places he deems dangerous.

In extreme cases, he may even isolate the two of you together from the outside world, believing it’s the only way to keep you safe. This can lead to a complex and intense relationship dynamic.
Let's say you got dumped…Simon would be deeply concerned about your emotional state He’d worry about how the breakup is affecting you and may constantly check in on your emotional form. His tendencies might make him feel jealous of the person who dumped you. He could place blame on them, seeing them as a threat to your joy.
Simon’s protectiveness would likely increase significantly. He might want to shield you from any potential damage, which could include trying to disaffect you from your ex-partner, In more extreme cases, Simon’s possessiveness might lead him to cut off you from others, especially possible romantic interests, to prevent you from experiencing another breakup, it getting rid of the old one.

I wanted to draw the crows based off these references so I went for it II Click each for better quality (mostly)
A tangent under readmore
I really didn't intend to leave Wylan's name as Wylan Van Sunshine but Wylan's file broke on me so all I have is the low quality version of it unfortunately--- this is second time this has happened with Wylan. I'm beginning to think he doesn't like me.
I did them throughout the last week or so as you can probably tell by the differences in quality between them lmao. Nina and Matthias were the first and on the same day. Everyone else's was drawn on different days I think. I think they look okay---- or at the very least they match their energy. It was basically to practice expressions a bit plus I just wanted to draw all the crows looking annoyed lmao
I named Nina's 'One Kaz Brekker sized headache'
Matthias is just his general state throughout soc tbH
Kaz's I imagine is him actually talking to Nina because it just makes Nina's even funnier
Inej is basically her praying to her Saints for patience or (per a convo I had with @wangsfires) praying something like "'Saints give me the strength to not kill my employer though he treads on thin ice every waking moment of his life yet foolishly imparted me with the knowledge on how to kill.'"
Jesper's just shocked at the audacity of the person he is talking to
Wylan is making a point about something and is also just really sick of everyone's nonsense directed at him which ---- fair
Anyways, these were fun--- if you read this and reblog it--- let me know which one was your fave sjsjs Or comment, that works too.

The ask from yesterday but let's substitute Frank for Duke! 😘
Tumblr media
Duke did not love Tommy's appointment. We know the Miller brothers are good, loyal guys, but Duke's perspective is that these two relatively untested men had just assumed incredibly high positions of power. He knew Joel was still hung up on the past, and he worried that the two brothers would be more loyal to each other than to Tess.
Further, he'd had some months to prepare and come to know Joel, but he knew very little about Tommy. He didn't know if Tommy was even up to it. Chapter 22 explains further why Duke has good cause to be distrustful of people who might seek to manipulate and control Tess.
All the guys in the biz thought Duke was a legend. He had rock star status and they'd all heard cool stories about his amazing feats and inimitable style. So not having his approval kind of sucks, but Tommy believes in himself, puts his head down, and gets on with doing what he does well.
Joel tried to keep them apart in the beginning, anticipating conflict or just Duke saying something cutting that might rattle Tommy's confidence. One day, as Joel is trying to arrange things so they don't cross paths, Tommy loudly says, “I don't give a shit what he thinks of me, Joel! Don't I work for Tess? How come he got you so scared?” And Duke overhears, thinks that's hilarious, and it slowly breaks the ice.
After that, Tommy and Duke occasionally met for drinks and Duke imparted a little helpful knowledge that a good 2IC needs to know to support the principal bodyguard in Tess's employ. Tommy knew how to make him laugh.
His relationship with Maria was friendly and warm. He affectionately referred to her by her last name as a mark of respect. He did not like Winston. He called him a “boring old fart” mainly because he played golf, which Duke had an irrational aversion to. He was very fond of Kevin.
As for them getting together… Duke just rolled his eyes by that point. Told Tess she should put her foot down because of how awkward it would get when it went south she'd have to choose one, and the logical answer was Maria but then she'd piss off “your beau” if she didn't choose Tommy, blah blah. Tess would remind him of Glynis. Duke would tell her to mind her own business, that's ancient history.
So basically he was the grouchy voice of reason.

Rereading The Terror
Okay, I've had a couple of days to process it since reading ahead last week. I'm still not over it but nevertheless I persist.
Suicide is, of course, a prominent theme in this chapter so I'll put everything under the cut again I think.
Chapter Fifty: Bridgens
Bridgens reflects on how, over the years, he's often likened his life to different works of literature. He compares his youngest years to works like Canterbury Tales which implies perhaps a search for meaning and identity with Bridgens casting himself as various characters, both heroic and otherwise.
In his twenties, anxiety and indecision again seem to come to the forefront as he compares himself to Hamlet: "...suspended between thought and deed, between motive and action, frozen by a consciousness so astute and unrelenting that it made him think about everything, even thought itself."
More specifically, this unsurety, this 'to be or not to be', centres around Bridgens feelings about his own sexuality and his thoughts about suicide. Unhappy with his life, unhappy in pretending to be something he was not, Bridgens contemplated ending his own life but seemed to have overthought his way out of doing so in the end: "...miserable that he could only think about ending his own life because the fear that thought itself might continue on the other side of this mortal veil, "perchance to dream", kept him from acting even toward quick, decisive, cold-blooded self-murder." I think this is very much worth noting. That he's contemplated suicide before but was always stopped essentially by the idea of not knowing what was on the other side.
In his middle-age, Bridgens compares himself to Odysseus and comes to think of his skill and knowledge as a Steward as a kind of shield, a means of self-preservation - "He used his craft to become and to stay invisible."
Back in the present, Bridgens compares himself to King Lear and around him, the march continues. They intend to follow the southern coast of King William Island, set up another camp, and watch the strait to see whether the ice will break up enough or whether they'll have to haul across it toward the mouth of Back's River. Bridgens does not intend to join them in this.
As mentioned in a previous post, he sets his own journal away inside his sleeping bag and carries only Peglar's with him as he gets ready to leave. :(((
Interestingly, Goodsir is aware of his leaving and aware, at least in part, of Bridgens' feelings and his intentions in setting off into the landscape. He makes a rather Classical sort of reference to suicide: "You sound like a Stoic, Mr Bridgens. A followed of Marcus Aurelius. If the emperor is displeased with you, you go home, draw a warm bath..." Which is just gut-wrenching all round as - I believe - that refers to the death of Seneca, who drew a warm bath and cut his wrists in it at the behest of Emperor Nero. And, again, it's interesting too given the manner of death Goodsir himself chooses later in the show... :(((
There's great beauty though as well as great tragedy in the understanding and connection Goodsir and Bridgens have clearly come to share. Goodsir brings things full circle in many ways by referring back to Hamlet: "...I just wish to take a walk this evening. Perhaps a nap." "Perchance to dream?" said Goodsir. "Aye, there's the rub," admitted the steward.
He then encourages Bridgens to stay, but doesn't belabour the point too much, simply expresses again great understanding and respect: "There are other men who can help you, sir, and who have hands far steadier - and stronger - than mine" "But no one as intelligent," said Goodsir. "No one I can talk to as I have with you. I value your advice." :'))) And right enough, Bridgens imparts an important bit of advice as the two men part ways that's really stuck with me since: "I've always agreed with St Augustine when he said that the only real sin is human pain."
Bridgens makes his way out into the wilderness and stops before it gets dark. His last meal is a stale ship's biscuit - "it was one of the most delicious things he'd ever tasted.". And if ever we needed further proof of the peace and tranquility that's overcome him in his final hours, we know that he thinks of a comforting past more than a miserable present as he enjoys his final sunset - "the kind of sunset that Odysseus, not Lear, would have seen and enjoyed."
He reads through Peglar's papers one final time, reflects again on "one of the most intelligent human beings he'd ever known". Whatever fear Bridgens might once have had about the Great Unknown that follows death, it's gone now and replaced, I think, with a certainty that whatever the afterlife may bring, Harry Peglar will be a part of it. At that, he lies down for his final rest. "John Bridgens was asleep before the last of the grey sunlight died in the south.

What are Stan and Kyle’s favorite seasons?
*cracks knuckles, unsheathes my gigantic pink, hello kitty enchiridion of manically compiled style knowledge ( aka fanfiction lore galore ) and pets my beautiful fluffy cat whilst swirling my $12 rose box wine around in a $2 dollar thrift store mug, peering eeriely*
ah! a lovely visitor at my lodging! i've been expecting you! or so the fates foretold and the tarot has tattled~ and perhaps my frilly, bell-sleeved robes reveal me, but i am called many things: pretty, witty...a man-hating, soothsaying sorceress and tawdry disgrace to my bitter bloodline, but you, my moon blossom, may call me armarius nina -- better known as your stylibrarian.
now, sit a spell, young scholar! ( though, you're charming enough without my ancient enchantments ) and let your heavy heart enlighten with the sage wisdom i impart on you whilist you rest your bones and gear up for your next great adventure!
but speaking of bones: you may find some in the closet. a few experiments i'm running on what pathetic, spineless, excuses for 'men' and crass chauvinistic pigs i find lollying about.
dear elora does find misogynists so very delicious these days. :)
now, my friends, as we return to the realm of reality, where i do not live, i am sure it's abundantly clear by my skyrim-esqe, taverny, dnd introduction, that i am very deranged, verbose and dedicated to my (witch-bitch-craft), which is pulverizing the south park canon so violently that they resemble the worthless men in my dungeon.
however, in doing so, i do put a lot of time and effort into dissecting the stan and kyle's across my ninaverse and thus, have far too much to say and am far too impassioned/excited about your question! <3
( nobody, of course, should be forced to read all this, but if you find my musings about the boys amusing, you might want to gander. )
and in the land of logic, where i also do not live, i know that...all my ncu style sons are just...stan and kyle at the end of the day. but to me at least, stan the man with the plan, kyle pile, jersey and raven are not the same people at all! they exist in different compartments in my brain and are greatly similar, but exist in radically different timelines.
...but perhaps i am simply gaslighting myself into believing all my many madman ramblings...but! live, laugh, love delusion, babey! ;)
and without further ado, down below, my ncu style season ninalysis.
now, something that i find terribly thrilling about the dynamic of the pep!style boys is that they are perfect opposites who attract. and as such, each their favorite seasons is the other's least favorite season, which if you've read my awful, monstrosity, abomination mess of a fanfiction, this fits right in with their moon-sun metaphor and motif.
starting with pep!stan, his favorite season is undoubtedly summer, not to be confused with #stanseason, which i will elaborate on later. speaking of summer, i think actually even mentioned it canonically at the beginning of chapter seven that summer is stan's fave season.
and stanley randall william marsh just...IS summer.
he's the crisp sound of cracking an ice cold beer on a scorching trip to stark's pond, swimming like a river nymph, watching a superhero movie surrounded by all his friends, gorging on hot, buttered popcorn, laughing so hard at the stupidest things that it sends a rocket of his extra large blue raspberry icee shooting out his nose, spiked, of course, with vodka, so it burns like fuck and is so funny.
he's holding your hand at the county fair on the highest part of the ferris wheel when you get scared, winning the strength test, gifting you a comically large stuffed bear you cherish forever, and feeds you pieces of funnel cake like you're the most precious thing in the world.
he's just...singing siren songs at the summer camp bonfire, collecting seashells for little girls, guarding baby turtles from being eaten by birds and guiding them safely into the water with a tearful goodbye.
the summer sky is clear and cerulean like his big, pretty eyes. sun's, guns out. and when it's hot outside, stan is out doing hot boy things.
be it hiking, biking, soccer, football, basketball, baseball, swimming, skateboarding, stanley marsh never gets sunburned, tans beautifully, gets sunkissed by mother nature, her favorite and basking in the glow of the summer sun is the closest thing he feels to happiness.
but, as we learned in our science rechap in the pep nine kyle denial, what comes up must come down. and with the intensity of stan's emotions, comes an equal instability, so what is summer sky high must meet a brutal, bitter ground zero winter. without mercy.
and when that flip flop drops...that means that IT has begun.
it being...
#stanseason. :/
now, sometimes during september its still little tepid and shiny and stan's favorite holiday ( that little goth bitch ) is halloween, so october is alright ( barring his birthday ) because even if it's a little gloomy outside, it fits the spooky season vibe that is literally his whole 'thing'.
but the second halloween is over...when the thirty first of october becomes the first of november...something in him just...snaps.
the switch goes off and gets stuck there. basically, he has really gnarly seasonal depression and that plays really, really poorly with his bipolar disorder and depression. like, i swear when the blue of the sky goes grey, stan's eyes dull with it. everything is so bleak, all the plants he loves so much wither and die, animals go into hiding, everything is either grey or white or pitch black at night and so miserable to him.
especially during winter break and weekends, he just holes up in his room and his childhood bed basically becomes his deathbed as he succumbs to what are some of his scariest depression episodes. him and wendy actually break up the most in the winter months because when the sun is gone, stan just goes...cold. full stop communication.
but also he can't help it. he's undiagnosed, so he's unmedicated besides his adderall ( which is a part of 13/14 ) so he just gets catatonic, can't move, can't eat, can't do anything, just cries and curls up in a ball and sleeps entire weeks away like that. my baby :(
on a deeper and way more fucked up level than even THAT though, more than weather, it's what happens during #stanseason because stan is extremely triggered and traumatized by the holiday season.
for starters, his birthday is just...he tries to avoid it every single year or is too drunk to remember it in order to get through it because the best thing about his bday to him is that hes a year closer to death :(
the actual holidays are so much worse though because of...sigh...Randy Marsh. he is a fucking monster during the holidays.
he ruins and terrorizes everyone every year it's so fucking awful. thanksgivings are shitty as fuck for him because he's just like sitting there and eating the side dishes, trying to just exist and randy is calling him a sissy and little girl and a fucking f*g for not eating meat.
christmas actually used to be stans favorite time of year!!! believe or not!!! like he liked xmas more than halloween because of the pretty lights and everyone being so happy and being able to get people gifts
:') sharon used to take little stan all over the neighborhood with their lights out with him on her shoulders, then eventually, when stan got too old for that and kyle came around, stan used to drag him by the hand, babbling and bright eyed. he also used to sing kyle christmas songs and it gaslit kyle into liking them because is just stan's voice so so nice and pretty and ugh...STAN FUCKING LOVED CHRISTMAS!!!
i also think it was around christmas that randy got drunk backed out of the driveway...and killed sparky, so stans in mourning during the winter time and visits sparkys grave by starks pond...i'm so :'(
FUCK YOU RANDY!!!! FUCK YOU SO MUCH!!! MEET ME IN THE PIT BITCH!!! YOU WONT YOU WONT!!!!
like i think what really put the nail in the coffin was one year when stan was in middle school ( he was happy during elementary school and was...getting wary of holidays/randy in middle school ) randy got drunk, really angry and violent for some reason...and on christmas morning, stan, shelley and sharon came down to carnage.
like all the presents just smashed up, toys in pieces, beautiful jewelry destroyed, the christmas tree they decorated absolutely desecrated, half of the presents in the fireplace it was sooooo horrible. and randy was just passed out drinking spiked eggnog on their living room floor, sleeping fucking peacefully. >:(
so stan...hates christmas now. stan who is a christmas angel. stan who loves cheer, happiness, whimsy and spirit. like gets mad when he hears christmas songs, is irritable all month long. :( STAN WHO LOVES MINT!!!! MY PEPPERMINT BABY! he can't even enjoy all the nice peppermint flavored stuff he loves because is so traumatized by xmas and the holiday season.
but to segway into the next part of my deranged season analysis of the ncu boys, i wanna loop back to stan's scary seasonal depression because those episodes often become serious stan alcohol benders.
it's cold outside and he's cold inside, but he doesn't know how to get warm so in his fucked up, untherapised sad boy brain he is like okay, well, alcohol makes me feel warm and makes me feel good, so if i drink itll just fix everything and i'll feel better again. so he's just getting violently drunk all winter long to microdose feeling good, to microdose warmth, TO MICRODOSE KYLE BROFLOVSKI.
ergo:
stan's favorite season is summer because it makes him feel the way that kyle makes him feel. stan likes summer because kyle is the sun.
micdrop. sjdlkdjads
so pep!kyle is like stan's little spot of sunlight in an otherwise wretched winter, which is actually very cute and funny because kyle's favorite season is winter. :)
he's just my little ice prince, steely solitaire, wicked, wintry, slow burn tsundere ( sorry ), glacier boy, who actually under the cold boy exterior is really just a romance literature enjoying, secret soft boy.
but, outwardly at least, and as we established throughout peppermint, but most specifically in chapter three, kyle broflovski is a Hater. of so many things, but save for house parties, crying babies, small spaces and rave music, kyle truly hates the ever-loving, or hating, rather, fuck out of the summertime.
he hates when it's hot and sticky ( ew ), sweating himself or seeing anyone sweat openly repulses him ( unless stan marsh is at the gym and kyle is spotting him -- he loves his job so much ), he hates the smell of sunscreen which he has to slather all over himself not to sunburn, which he still does anyway, so he spends all summer with his skin basically in red, angry, tender welts,
he gets really self conscious ( fuck the list ) going out in swim trunks, or even just shorts/sleeveless shirts ( he is really only comfortable in shorts around the house or playing basketball, other than that, cartman made a weird comment about his legs and he never recovered from that :((( -- you're so beautiful baby ) and really, that all chocks up to kyle having serious summer seasonal depression.
kyle hates summer but...kyle loves stanley marsh. so kyle endures summer specifically for stan and this does...have several benefits.
see, while stan is constantly on the move and hard to catch during the summer, flying from one outside boy activity to the next, kyle has spent his entire life running after his super best friend and does have an advantage in catching him. he does, however, need to catch his breath constantly.
which! thankfully, stan always has kyle's inhaler at the ready but if kyle hits his inhaler and stan hits him with the beautiful laugh, one dimple, hair ruffle combo...he does need to hit his inhaler again. it's a vicious cycle...but its very worth it for kyle.
mainly b/c he gets to watch stan do all his summer stuff.
specific iconic stan marsh hot boy summer activities/antics include:
that month stan was mowing lawns shirtless to save up for a new game console and kyle crashed into multiple trees on his bike, that time his mom asked him to patch something up on the roof instead of rancid and stan spent like a whole week in the rolled up teeshirt, fuckboy snap back sexc handyman tool shed cosplay and almost fell off the roof several times waving excitedly at kyle who...was shamelessly oogling from his window...smh.
stan playing shirts vs skins soccer, stan gang vs. craig gang, but kyle was taking summer courses at the community college, and when he was done he came back to stan shouting his name, running across the field like he was in some coming of age romcom movie to hug kyle golden and glistening with outside boy athlete sweat, ( kyle made one sweat exception...he also almost died when that happened help ), stan got ice cream far too often and accidentally ate it in a way that god really did not intend and kept kyle up for many nights...
the things that stanley marsh did to kyle broflovski before he realized that he was in love with him...need to be punished by a court of law.
most notably, when they were cits at tardicaca last summer, kyle really said fuck them kids and almost lost several of them multiple times watching stan life guard behind his sunglasses...JAIL, BABY!
but of course, when summer is over, stan falls ill during fall and shuts down in winter kyle freaks out and rightfully so! ( like stan almost died of alcohol poisoning last year and even before that, has been sad and bad enough to warrant deep concern. ) and kyles sheilas son, so he does make stan keep his window open and his blinds up just so he can check on him and bring him stuff, come over, read, etc.
my personal taylor swift headstannon is that pep!stan and kyle do the notebook thing in you belong with me where they exchange notes through their windows ( kyle has definitely held up that really pathetic ‘i love you’ one while stan was in the bathroom...crying )
— it usually happens if one of them is grounded, if they're snowed in, if stan is trying to annoy kyle and get him to stop studying, or kyle is trying to nag stan into studying lmao...my sons who are in luv.
but yeah, stan's window is open for ( rip, suicide watch ) which means kyle's window is also open, so stan just gets to watch him do really cute winter boy things…
…like read his romance novel when no one is looking, dance awkwardly and adorably around his room to line without a hook ( kyle is very ricky montgomery coded to me like...mr. loverman HELLO!!! ), organize all his things, drink his stanley marsh peppermint hot cocoa in his stanley marsh stolen hoodie, or watch the snowflakes with wonderment, drawing things on the frosted glass.
and for a boy who was supposedly not in love with his super best friend...stan did spend a lot of time and got a lot of serotonin watching kyle through his window like his favorite tv show. smh.
b/c ky hates the sun. but really likes snow. it is just a very interesting scientific, natural and beautiful process to him. he gets really cold but that is okay, because he has anemic boy privileges and stan bundles him up in his varsity jacket and so many flannels and scarves its so funny, he's so worried about him. idk kyle gets really excited when it starts snowing, its so cute, stan is like aw kp!!!! :') <333
( stan always picks his little tea or latte up for him and kyle burns his mouth because he has no patience and burns his mouth every time so stan always orders him a kid temperature one....so cuuuute. )
basically the best way i can sum up how stan and kyle are during december is that kyle is this december by ricky montgomery and stan is december by neck deep, and is either the electric guitar or the acoustic version depending which bipolar episode he's in.
but yes, closing thoughts....pep stan is a summer sun, winter moon and kyle is a winter sun and a summer moon. he...lp. ta....da?
okay...phew.
go take a break if you've read this part. we have reached the halfway point folks. the end is in sight...but first...rm style seasons. ;) <3
starting with jersey....he is autumn, to which you might argue ( as kyle often does ), but nina! rm!jersey kyle is so much more cold, callous and brutal than pep!kyle, wouldn't he be winter instead?
but ah, dear scholar, you forgot that rm!kyle...is our Y/N.
as such, he loves september when school comes back around ( he does not know what to do when he's not being a student, i'm scared for him ), he delights very much in pumpkin spice flavored things, sits in grounded on his days off with his laptop doing his homework, hair put up, drowning in his gigantic cable knit sweater, or reading the news paper after his mock trials with his blazer hanging off the back of the chair, plaid slacks on, reading glasses on, sipping a london fog, having a cinnamon scone, enjoying the grey and misty weather.
for those reasons, jersey!kyle likes autumn, of course, but if you want the god honest truth...the reason kyle loves autumn...is because....
...stanley marsh was ( is ) autumn.
ravenstan just smells of cinnamon and spiced apple cider, chai tea, warm handmade blankets, firewood and whiskey. so during fall, everything just smells, tastes and feels like stanley marsh...which is the best thing in the world...and the worst fucking thing in the world.
because stan's was born in the fall...and died in the fall. :(
every autumn is honestly traumatizing for kyle, it's very bittersweet, even down to stan talking walks with him in the forest and having used to tell kyle that autumn looked like him because the leaves turn the color of his hair...but now kyle takes lonely walks in the city and can feel that emptiness next to him where stan should be. :'((
it's a harm and a comfort, honestly. he used to like aggressively hoard fall scented things when he was having really bad I See Stan episodes, but dr. margolis ( kyles therapist ) told him that that kind of obsessive behavior is unhealthy and he should avoid dwelling too much on stan during fall aka not order a bunch of cinnamon flavored stuff to soothe the sadness of his passing...but its...he slips a lot.
and when he falls in fall, he really falls HARD because he'll be making a coffee fine one second and then a man with blue eyes orders a chai tea latte and kyles hand is shaking so bad that he burns his arm on the machine and...i'm so sad. there's a little thing he does on stan's birthday every year, its kind of like a birthday tradition they used to do. i can't talk about it yet, but it will come up. its autumnal. :')
and onto the final part of this behemoth of an ask message, oh my god. stan, stan. ravenstan, who is so, so, so, soooo spring.
i know you guys don't know that much about him other than kyle's surface level reactions of him and psychosis around him being stan, but he is really like a persephone boy really that is a hades boy now.
he really is just like magical forest creature. all the flowers bloom and he just lights up. raven like...loves plants. he is my little witchy herbology botany boy king i love him so much. he could lay down in the grass for hoooours and could write so many songs about it. aaa!!!
kyle is disgusted by spring because his pollen allergy is so bad, but in the same way that winter kyle showed up for summer stan to watch him do hot boy outside boy summer things, autumn kyle shows up for spring stan doing soft sprite disney prince nature boy stuff <3
being up at the farm as far as randy goes was awful, but its really pretty during the spring and him and kyle used to just go out into the pastures, all the little meadows and divits, sit by the pond ( yes stan is that filthy nasty boy who chases all the bugs and frogs and gets covered and dirt and mud and everything smh...brother nature )
even before sheila hyperfixated on plying kyle with lavender to help him calm down from his panic attacks after stans 'death' because that's what the internet and all the specialists did -- stan used to make him cute little flower crowns and stuff and weave lavender into his hair and make him bracelets out of blades of grass and stuff...which i think he still has dreams about to this day.
...and i honestly think its hard for kyle to sit out in nature because it reminds him so aggressively of stan...the trauma omg. free my man!
also i'd say ravenstan like pep!stan would have been running around doing outside boy sports too during his month but...unfortunately the south park boys in elem/middle, specifically eric cartman was gatekeeping all of those sports...in a way that deeply disgusts me.
like okay, i feel like where pep!stan's thing was mostly football, ravenstan's thing is HOCKEY and wanted to join the hockey team or play hockey with all the south park boys and eric cartman was like
"you can't join sh*n because you're a g*rl!!!!”
....to which he proceeded to like aNNIHILATE and DECIMATE every single boy at hockey...like in a way that for a pacifist icon was so brutal and Iconic that multiple boys went home bruised and crying.
also he totally winked at kyle in his gigantic wayne gretski jersey with his big, charasmatic lopsided grin w/ his chipped front tooth and kyle was immediately in luv.
stan marsh when he was still stan marsh and 11...was such a literal fucking legend i love him. he really has so much true grit n tenacity.
small final note one hockey and ice sports though, kyle never played hockey with the boys because cartman was extremely cruel to him.
he also did not take to hockey but he is....really good at ice skating. nosm as a concept is so cute to me ( i think pep!kyle also learned to ice skate after the stark's pond incident ) but jersey kyle is secretly a really, really talented beautiful, graceful ice skater and stan was just fuckin bodying people in hockey and two languages. <3
and that's all? i think? my word.
EDIT: WAIT I FORGOT THAT ITS ALSO RAVENS FAVORITE SEASON BECAUSE KYLES BIRTHDAY IS IN SPRING ALSO! GAY!!!
tldr: pep!stan summer, pep!kyle winter, rm!jersey fall, ravestan spring
i hope this provided you with the kind of electric energy that i felt while writing it, i am currently levitating oh my god. if you're wondering why my updates are slow, it's because i waste my time writing ask memes the size of two updates for basic questions.

Will always look out for her best interests first and foremost, and seem to hoard any bit of power she can after having none her whole life. She's angry that her father is human and stole her away from the Underdark, because I'd she had stayed amd been full Drow, she could have had so much more power. She's selfish, sarcastic, has a wicked sense of humor, and is clever and quick-witted. Reckless. Can talk her way out of anything. Dyed her hair blue as a disguise when she was wanted for angering some minor lord, then was too poor to dye it back, then it grew out. Changes her look every time a new wanted poster with her name on it goes up. Her tattoo represents each time she's escaped from jail (and also am homage to her childhood gang.)

for the pokemon ask game steel rock and ice for vegito!
referenced prompt -
💻Steel Type💻 : Who’s more likely to struggle with technology? How does the other help?
Oh Vegito is by far. Good ol' fusion didn't impart him with residual tech knowledge from Goku or Vegeta since the former lived out in the wilderness all his life and the latter was only familiar with some space tech and apparently never paid much attention to Earth tech. He's a fast learner though, so I'd only have to show him how to do or find something once before he can handle it himself.
🪨Rock Type🪨: If you had to pick a rock to give your F/O as a gift, what kind of rock would you pick? How does it remind you of them?
An iridescent opal! The different colors reminds me of his various Super Saiyan forms uvu
🧊Ice Type🧊: Brr, it’s cold in here. Whats your favorite thing to do together when it’s chilly out? Do you want to snuggle up for warmth or brave the cold for snow time fun?
I REALLY don't like being outside if it's cold, so I'm leaning towards snuggling with Gito. He just radiates heat. He doesn't mind either way, but he'd def try to get me to come outside if it snowed a lot. He'd hit me with those puppy eyes that I can never resist, but then would later shove a mound of snow onto my head or down my shirt, and I'd remember how much of a lil shit he can be 😂🙃

CONTACTS WANTED — YIUNO REI.
An adventurer by day, and an assassin by night—Yiuno Rei is an enigmatic Viera who walks along the blurred line of light and darkness. From the politically righteous Grand Companies to the unknown depths of the Eorzean underworld, Yiuno will work for anyone for the right price, especially if the job aligns with his personal agendas. However, the dangerous secrets that have slept within him for so long will become the key to the fate of the world… once more.
Shrouded in deep mystery with a rich backstory, there are plenty in store for you to develop and forge a bond with him. His complex characterization does not deter my freedom to play him in a wide array of settings; rather, the possibilities are almost endless, and meeting new people is a part and parcel of his long life.
LFRP STATUS: OPEN — 1 SLOT AVAILABLE.
For a limited time, I am open to only 1-2 players interested in creating intricate stories with Yiuno.
I am no longer seeking roleplay contacts; all my partner slots are currently full. However, you are still free to send me writing prompts or approach me to chat about your muses. I love reading about everyone’s characters and learning something new about them.
Tumblr media
BEFORE YOU JUMP ONTO THE BANDWAGON…
Please read this section very carefully as it contains important things you should know before you approach me to RP with my character(s).
NO MINORS.
Yiuno’s lore contains very dark and mature themes, and these are crucial in his characterization and development as a person. On the same note, I’m also not keen to work with adults who are sensitive to various triggers, to err on the side of safety. I’m a very busy person, and my empathy for others is fairly limited after a long and stressful work day.
NO IN-GAME RP.
I have a demanding full-time job and I live in the JST (GMT+9) time-zone. Aside from schedule restrictions, I mainly play on Japan DCs due to latency issues. It’s difficult for me to arrange in-game meetups, and I’m too busy with real life to manage alts on other data centers. I’m also uncomfortable with many aspects of in-game roleplaying, which I find them too stressful and not fun to deal with.
NOVEL-STYLE WRITING.
Google Docs is most preferred. Also open to other long-form writing platforms suggestions and I’m happy to give them a try. That being said…
I don’t expect my partners to be a bookworm as much as I am, but please have the basic courtesy to provide enough content in your IC replies to keep the story moving. Neither Yiuno nor I can read minds; metagaming is frowned upon in roleplays, and I’m sure we both want the collaboration to be a fun and fruitful experience.
PATIENCE IS A MUST.
I am unable to respond immediately due to time-zone differences. Your active time is my working or sleeping hours, and vice versa. Real-life commitments take priority over a shared hobby, which is a rule I will respect you for and expect the same in return. I’d need some time to come up with quality replies, too.
DO NOT MIX IC & OOC.
While I’m willing to impart bits and pieces of Yiuno’s backstory for the purpose of planning ahead in OOC discussions, it should be universally understood that you should never mix OOC knowledge with IC development without my explicit permission. Always keep communication channels open—not only to make sure everyone is on the same page with the RP, but also to build good rapport along the way.
Tumblr media
POSSIBLE STARTING POINTS.
I’m mainly looking for serious, long-term roleplays with a good dose of plot and character development. If none of the hooks below can tickle your fancy, we can discuss further in OOC to brainstorm more ideas.
SHARLAYAN.
Krile Baldesion. One of Yiuno’s regular clients, who often calls upon his expertise as a treasure hunter and curse breaker both, to handle jobs deem too dangerous for any gleaners to tackle. In exchange for his assistance, Yiuno exploits Krile’s position as an esteemed Sharlayan scholar to gain access to the Noumenon, where he can conduct his own research for the information he seeks. The question is: what is he looking for amongst the dusty, ancient grimoires of forgotten past?
ARCANE HUNTER.
Yayake Yake. Though a dutiful receptionist who works at the Thaumaturges’ Guild, this seemingly polite Dunesfolk has a sharp sense for those with great potential for arcane arts. She has tried and failed to recruit Yiuno to join the guild on countless occasions, with only requests in reclaiming artifacts of the black to seduce the unwilling man back to Ul’dah each time. While this seems like an inconspicuous relationship, there is definitely more than meets the eye. Why does Yayake single out Yiuno from amongst the promising candidates of black magic? Why does she have such high regards for his talent and skill? What else does she know about this brooding Viera—and what is she hiding about him?
ANCIENT CITIES.
Remnants of the Great Flood. Though Yiuno would often introduce himself as a mere treasure hunter when prompted on his martial prowess, if one is observant enough to pick up the signs, they would notice that some things just don’t add up. Majority of Yiuno’s regular clients have affiliations with guilds of the arcane arts. He’s usually tasked to find and reclaim ancient artifacts from fallen civilizations known for their knowledge in magic. He has a curious familiarity with the three factions in the Magi War: the Floating City of Nym, the Weeping City of Mhach, and the Lost City of Amdapor. Just what kind of connections did Yiuno have with the Sixth Umbral Calamity?
THE DUALITY OF IANA.
An enigma of many faces. Many adventurers would’ve dipped a toe or two into the Eozean underworld during their long journeys; those enticed by the promise to fulfill their desires would exchange their virtues for riches, sinking themselves into the violent hellscape beneath the façade of peace and prosperity. Toxic masculinity ruled this chaotic world with brute strength, while they exploit femininity to charge their own libido. However, not all women are willing to bow down to such prejudiced savagery—Yiune is an assassin who seduces her male targets with her beauty before she seals their fate in the silence of the night (or so the rumors say). Very few would live to learn about the shocking truth of this graceful lady of death… for “she” is actually a man under the glamorous mask. What compels him to exact his own brand of justice in such an unorthodox way? Is there more to this curious killing spree under the bleeding moon of Etheirys?
Tumblr media
LOOKING FOR…
To reiterate on the importance of OOC discussions: both parties should have basic respect for all characters in the roleplay. Pre-established connections or no, I expect the player(s) to keep communication channels open—talk things out and come to an agreement first before throwing any drastic plot twist in each other’s face, especially one that can drastically change the course of the RP development for both sides.
TRAVELING COMPANIONS.
A wanderer at heart, Yiuno often flits around Eorzea and beyond, never staying in one spot for long. Sometimes due to work calls, other times purely on a whim—while he is fairly knowledgeable on the geography of Etheirys, he doesn’t seem to have a place he’d call home. Deep down, Yiuno knows that he doesn’t belong anywhere: his immortality forces him to constantly move from town to town, keeping a low profile lest someone finds out the secrets to his eternal youth.
Do you share his plight of not having a place to feel home? Or are you seeking for the thrill of leaving your home and explore the uncharted waters beyond your comfort zone? Yiuno’s experience with traveling might just be what you need for the long journey ahead.
FRIENDS & ALLIES.
Regardless of Yiuno’s hermit lifestyle, even he understands that people are generally social beings who thrive on interactions with anything and everything around them. Yiuno knows that he can’t stay incognito forever—he’s getting weary of all the running, hiding, and lying. He wants a shoulder to lean on when the world comes crashing down upon him, or to be in a group of his caliber that can bring out his real talents.
Are you looking for a veteran to join your team and perform great heists like the one in the TV series, Leverage? Or are you the same as Yiuno, seeking a partner with great chemistry to make the world tremble under your unstoppable efficiency? Yiuno might just be that unlikely friend you need to make your ambitions come true.
REGULAR CLIENTS.
Perhaps your only goal is to hire someone for the job, and you’re content to keep the relationship professional. Or you’re already taken and eternally bound by oath, preferring to employ someone who will respect your boundaries. Yiuno has been in this job for a very long time, and he knows where to draw the clear line to get the work done.
However, having a personal network of contacts does have its own merits—the gil and rewards grow with the trust and reputation built from the result of every completion. Of course, the danger and tension will come along with the riches, and perhaps this is the thrill you seek beyond the façade of your seemingly peaceful life.
RIVALS OR ENEMIES.
Perhaps he’s an infinite darkness you want to reach and conquer. Or maybe you hate him just because. Whatever your reasons are, you’ll never see eye to eye with him: you communicate with fists and blades, and every meeting is a fight to kill.
Whether Yiuno is an assassin you aim to erase from the world, or his very existence threatens yours, how will this rivalry or enmity end…? Or a different kind of dynamics might be born from the final clash?
WHAT ABOUT SHIPS?
I’m selective towards romantic relationships with other player characters. Slow-burn is most preferred to create a meaningful development between our characters, and also reveal the truth behind Yiuno’s complex characterization in the most organic way, layer by layer. Though he’s no stranger to one-night stands due to the nature of his job, Yiuno’s a demi in the RP verse—mere physical pleasures with randoms aren’t enough to win him over, and instead more than likely to send you into Death’s sweet embrace.
Tumblr media
GETTING IN TOUCH…
Did I manage to pique your interest? Tumblr DM is open to curious souls who wants to learn more about this mysterious Viera, to unravel the dark secrets this man is hiding… and more. Discord will be shared with those who have shown genuine interest to take the risk and step into Yiuno’s world of lies and deception.

Finally read your Miklan post after getting a bit into AG, and yeah. This delves into my issues with it too; it's not a matter of Dimitri being wrong for giving Miklan a chance in the first place, or even specifically a position of power since that power seems so limited. It's that, even if he consulted Sylvain about it, Miklan is continually in Sylvain's presence and is... doing nothing to even try TO redeem himself or to make things right with his brother?
Like yeah "give anyone a chance to redeem themselves" but like Miklan isn't. Doing that. Like sure he fights for the Kingdom or whatever and that's nice and all, but he almost always seems to do so begrudgingly (at least as of Chapter 8) and not because he wants to redeem himself. Which checks with, again, him doing absolutely nothing to try to fix the damage he's caused from his extensive abuse of Sylvain. And it's not like he's not trying to do that because he feels oh so guilty, it looks far more like he doesn't care to - at least, again, as of Chapter 8.
Yeah Dimitri needed commanders and took from any basket he could grab from, but something as small as having it to where Miklan and Sylvain can't be seen in the same explore sections at the same time could have gone a long way with dealing with the less-than-stellar handling of the whole thing - something to show that Dimitri is at least mitigating contact between the abuser who doesn't care to make up for his abuse and the abuse victim who very clearly/understandably is uncomfortable being around their abuser :/
(also ngl i don't get why 3H/Hopes is so keen on saying that leading a bandit group makes you a capable commander in an army like... that's like saying the leader of a violent prison gang could totally be a general in the army lmao like the two things aren't NEAR the same level)
Once again I say nothing nice about Miklan, so
It's just so contrived. Dimitri is already pretty clear that he doesn't give a shit about someone's station; Ashe's reputation as something of a street urchin isn't something of the distant past, according to his paralogue in Hopes, and Mercedes comes from an itty bitty village in Faerghus where everyone knows everyone. Let's not forget Dedue, who embodied pretty much everything the kingdom hated for a very long time. All three of these people are part of his innermost circle and trusted with a fair bit of his army's affairs--Dedue more than the rest as one of his right-hand men. (Left-hand man? Felix seems happy taking the right, and Dimitri does indeed have two hands.) But anyway, now we have Shez to throw in the mix, who you can't say has noble connections (Ashe's adoption, Mercedes' noble roots, feeble as these are in the grand scheme of things), and becomes rather important to Dimitri's war effort. Of course you can brush it off as player importance, because it is, but in the story Shez is a commoner--a sellsword at that--to whom Dimitri has trusted with quite a bit. That's a 1:1 ratio of commoners to nobles in Dimitri's close circle of advisors/commanders, and one of them already redeemed himself from a life of crime.
So why oh why did they feel the need to make Miklan redeemable? He doesn't need to be here even from a perspective of "Commoners are cool too"! I'll keep it brief, but for the sake of answering this ask, I should mention a tidbit they added into Hopes: Matthias, Mr. Wall of Ice himself, apparently imparted to Miklan all his knowledge of tactics and combat. Miklan is smart and capable and worthy of this specific post because his father taught him everything he himself knew. Which--wild. Don't know how they thought that was a good writing decision, but that's a discussion for a whole other post. If Miklan was indeed taught everything Matthias knows, then yes he would be capable. As a consultant, or even someone managing the front lines, but far away from Sylvain. I like to think, for my own fucking sanity, that Dimitri did not see the bruises on Sylvain that Ingrid did; she's the only one to comment on them, despite Felix voicing his displeasure very loudly right at Dimitri's face, and we know that Felix does not miss an opportunity to point out someone's failings. That falls into the realm of speculation and headcanon though, so, not much use in delving into that.
I dunno it's all just. Like. You'll see why this is all such a waste, if you haven't already. Miklan was so poorly handled it makes my head spin.

Mastering the Road: Advanced Defensive Driving Techniques for Freight Truckers
When it comes to the open road, freight truckers are the unsung heroes—responsible for the smooth flow of goods that keep our economy turning. Every mile they cover, loaded down with the necessary wares to stock our shelves, requires a level of skill and focus that's hard to overstate. Yet, despite the stringent qualifications needed to get behind the wheel, there's always room for growth. Here, we'll explore essential advanced defensive driving techniques designed to help seasoned truckers maintain safety and efficiency on their routes.
The Art of Anticipatory Driving
Anticipation is the bedrock on which all defensive driving techniques are built. For truckers, this means knowing the road as intimately as the cab of your truck. It's about understanding what's likely to happen at any point and being prepared for it. Spotting potential hazards well in advance gives you the precious seconds often needed to react safely.
For instance, when approaching an intersection, don't just look at the car in front of you—anticipate what those cars will do next. Will they try to make the yellow light? Is there a pedestrian on the corner eyeing the crosswalk? These considerations allow you to adjust your speed and position,, lessening the chance of an incident significantly.
Space Management and the "Safety Bubble"
Creating a buffer zone, or 'safety bubble', around your vehicle is a life-saving principle. For truckers, it's not only about the space ahead; the entire truck's turning radius and blind spots should be factored in. This includes continually scanning the environment for potential vehicles that might cut you off or perform erratic maneuvers.
The 'rule of the cushion'—maintaining consistent space around the truck—offers more time to react if the unexpected does occur. If a vehicle suddenly brakes, you'll have the space to safely slow down or change lanes without causing a chain reaction of breaking from the vehicles behind you.
Handling Hazardous Weather with Care
Inclement weather may be a trucker's most unpredictable foe. Rain, snow, or wind can turn a familiar route into a treacherous one, testing the limits of even the most skilled drivers. When adverse conditions strike, the key is to adapt immediately.
Essential gear like good-quality wipers and well-maintained brakes can be life-saving. More importantly, though, is knowing how to adjust your driving style. In heavy rain, for example, increasing your following distance and reducing your speed can mean the difference between control and a skid. Winter may require the use of tire chains, increased stopping distances, and a good understanding of black ice. Each condition demands its own set of adjustments—anticipation, space, and patience being the common threads.
The Benefits of Continued Training and Education
The learning curve doesn't stop at the licensing office. Continued education and defensive driving courses are invaluable for professional growth. These programs can impart the latest safety strategies, regulations, and industry best practices, all essential for staying ahead in a job where the stakes are high.
By staying informed, truckers can keep their knowledge current, which is particularly important in an industry that's constantly evolving. Earning certifications or completing advanced training not only enhances safety but can also lead to increased job opportunities and demonstrating your commitment to excellence in the field.
In the high-stakes world of freight trucking, advanced defensive driving techniques are far from optional—they're a professional imperative. By becoming masters of space, time, and the road, seasoned drivers can continue to keep our highways safe and goods moving, while also preparing up-and-coming truckers to follow in their tire tracks.

ꕥ — WELCOME TO MARE COSMIA, ARGENTI. 🌗
Tumblr media
ꕥ  — OOC INFORMATION;
name / alias: xing age: 23 pronouns: he/him ooc contact: shineonthesea @ twt  other characters in xc: akito shinonome, cain knightley, yu narukami, yukari takeba
ꕥ  — IC INFORMATION;
name: Argenti age: 25+ pronouns: he/she Series: Honkai Star Rail canon point: up to date with Penacony update app triggers: war, violence/bloodshed, canon typical violence, forced murder
personality: Argenti had a troubled childhood, filled with wartorn tragedy and constant bloodshed. His life turned around by discovering and learning about beauty and of Idrila, the Aeon of Beauty.
While Argenti is a knight, she’s been a vagrant from the beginning. He embarks on the solitary journey as one of the Knights of Beauty, dedicating his life to spread word of Idrila and uphold the ideals of Beauty.
As a knight, he upholds the code of chivalry and acts on his own, independent of the other knights. She’s quite self sufficient, finding ways to fend for himself, but he will go out of his way to save others.
As a Knight of Beauty, his main goals are to spread the essence of beauty, his Goddess, and continue on through his trials.
The truth of it is that his faith and devotion is toward an Aeon who has disappeared from this world, but he will remain optimistic and steadfast.
She tends to have flowery language, all manner in every upholding this beauty. He maintains himself with conviction and marches forward despite what happens. He will even sacrifice himself in the name of beauty.
Argenti speaks only truths, although her words may sound flattering— it can come off as flirting, but it’s only truths!
something your muse struggles with: solitude, existence and identity
your muse’s greatest strength: Righteousness and Loyalty. His devotion to his Goddess.
history / background: Argenti’s hometown was wartorn, and from a young age, she was forced to witness the horrors of war, of mass destruction and blood alike. This war would continue to wage for years, and Argenti had no one to seek refuge in. Instead, she took to hiding underground. By chance, she happened upon an ocarina under one of the stone tiles. Although his attempts at playing it wasn’t anything impressive, she ultimately saw the beauty in it. That was enough to keep him going and provided an escape from the harsh reality he faced.
Years later, Argenti left his hometown, and started to study under an elderly man. Her master spoke about tales of the past, particularly those of Idrila, the Aeon of Beauty. The master continued to impart knowledge of beauty and all of its philosophy to Argenti. Argenti took up arms and learned to embrace the code of beauty as a Knight of Beauty.
When her master passed, Argenti set out on a solitary journey, running into a fellow knight on the way. He traveled across the galaxy in his trusty spaceship, the One and Only. He helped where he could, eliminating all those who act as an affront against Beauty, but also extolling the virtues of Idrila. Although he struggled and fought various battles, he came to the point where his battles permanently stained him in blood.
As a follower of beauty, trials from the seduction Triple Demons lingered behind his every step, always encouraging her to succumb.
Argenti confronted them, fighting countless battles and emerged victorious in the Trial of Reflection.
However, the Knights of Beauty lost prestige in the galaxy with the rumors of Idrila’s demise. Countless knights lost their faith and resolve, some twisting in their ideals.
Perhaps they didn’t pass their own trials, one of Argenti’s own comrades turning into a beast himself. Argenti was forced to take down the beast that one called her their friend.
It’s a lingering sentiment that one day, perhaps he’d become an abomination of his own.
powers / abilities: Argenti follows the path of Beauty, in all technicality, but his combat is classified as the path of Erudition. This has a focus on multi-target attacks in a “AOE” sense. Argenti’s attacks are purely physical. He has a straightforward attack kit, but every hit he makes regenerates his energy, allowing him to charge up his ultimate attack.
Fleeting Fragrance (Basic Attack) - Just deals physical damage to an enemy. Yay.
Justice, Hereby Blooms (Skill) - Straightforward— deals physical damage to all enemies.
Ultimate - Argenti’s ultimate attack occurs in two rounds, For In This Garden Supreme Beauty Bestows and Merit Bestowed in "My" Garden depending on the charged energy he has. The former does an even round of physical damage to all enemies, while the latter does damage, and then additional damage for six hits. 
Manifesto of Pure Value (Technique) - Inflicts Daze, which confuses the enemy and prevents them from attacking first. Deals physical damage to all enemies and recharges Argenti’s energy.
Sublime Object (Talent) - In short, whenever Argenti hits enemies, he recharges his energy toward his ultimate. He also stacks Apotheosis, which increases his crit rate. This stacks up to 10 times.
inherent abilities: 
Theatrics - he’s like a fantasy theatre kid without ever going to the theater. he spouts strange words as a devout believer of Idrila.
Rose Petals - He just can’t help himself… Argenti has a trail of rose petals following him wherever he goes. Oh, and sparkles. To put emphasis on his beauty.
items / weapons: 
The One and Only - Argenti’s spaceship. He has… um, etched some patterns into the fuselage. As expected, it makes it difficult to upkeep.
Lance - As of right now, his lance is nameless, but it is his trusty weapon.
Ocarina - a sentimental item for him. Plays music, but takes skill to master. 
starting ability: erudition? It’s just his kit… idk how to translate this  starting item: The One and Only
extra: you guys will be begging me to bring back dan heng after this
And sorry for red knight numero two…. My fault
