#'oh i GOTTA see how THIS ends'

[unfavorableinstigation]

Today we had our very first meal where all members of Boyfriend's immediate family were present with all members of my immediate family. This event slid in under the wire to happen BEFORE Boyfriend and I passed our 10-year anniversary, so we are all very proud of our organizational skills.

The speech:

"You may be wondering why we wanted to get you all together today. Well, I do have an announcement to make, and it's that getting you all in the same room today was difficult enough to plan so do not expect a wedding out of me in the near future. This meal should, by my calculations, buy me another ten years. Thanks!"

#fun moment was my inlaws getting to learn firsthand that 'morbid curiosity is my hamartia' is very much a family trait #neither of our parents have it but both my brother and i have an incurable tendency to look at bizarre shit #and go #'oh i GOTTA see how THIS ends'

"I was gonna say you're like a son to me.. but you're more than that."

"It ain't that complicated!"

How quickly that shoulder pat of comfort turned into a condescending one.

#he makes me feel so emo #this life was never meant for you but your fate was forced #the way dutch (and hosea) talks to arthur like he's stupid will never sit right with me #like they've been by his side over 20 years they KNOW he isn't stupid because if he was he would have been gone a long time ago #not only is arthur incredibly emotionally smart but he's a trained conman vault breaker gunslinger horse rider you name it #the fact that his own adoptive parents break him down like that hurts #it's a manipulation tactic on dutch's end - break your victims self esteem to make them chase your praise and approval #hosea I believe has just gone along with that kind of attitude but in a different way he just likes to jest lightheartedly #arthur doesn't see the difference though and it's understandable but he takes it to heart #the worst part is that hosea sees through his tough guy act and has called arthur out on it #his act is a defence mechanism to protect himself from being too vulnerable - in arthur's mind #and it isn't a sudden thing it's very likely something that has built over the years given the life he has lived #and hosea notices he knows this #but they still jab at arthur #oh it hurts #is he your son dutch? or is he your guard dog? your personal workhorse? #playing through the second time is opening my eyes more and more #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #mick rants #mick gifs #arthur morgan #dutch van der linde #liveblogging #you guys gotta understand - arthur seeks and longs for dutch's approval he'll never say it but it's the key motive behind his loyalty #and arthur *rejects* dutch's comfort #he doesn't *want* dutch to pat him on the shoulder because he knows dutch is digging them an even deeper hole #he doesn't want that touch he craves #it's so insanely monumental for such a small scene because it shows us how arthur feels without telling us

OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever

#jrwi fanart #cw blood #jrwi show #jrwi suckening #arthur bennett #OUHH THIS ONE WAS SITTING IN MY WIPS FOR SO LOOOONGwhen i took it out there was mould on it :sob: #BUT i think i was able to fix it up okay #i keep seeing SO MANY MISTAKES RRAAAHHH BUT YOU DONT SEE THEM RIGHT??

'FUUUCK IT WE BALL #so anyway. arthur bennett huh? grizzly says that arthur is reaal fuckin difficult to play. and i SUPER get that. i mean LOOK AT HIM.. #grizz often needs a minute to think abt what hes gonna say in a way that matches w that Stoic Personality. which is FAIR but also that #ends up making way for awkward confrontations like: the lady in the parky lot. he took too long to answer and scared her away.& I LOVE THAT #arthur is tragic and sad and cool and stoic but hes ALSO awkward and silly and kinda dumb and short sighted. HE HAS COMPLEXITIES #I LOVE WHEN TTRPG CHARACTERS HAVE A GOOD SET OF SHORTCOMINGS. ESPECIALLY WHEN U FIND THEM ONLY AS U PLAY THEM. #I COULd go on and on saying the same things w different words abt arthurs intriguing and entertaining character but i shall spare u. for no #ILL ALSO MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE HIS FLAVOR THO.. I LOVE TALL HOT BOY WHOS ONE W THE DARKNESS.. I REMEMBER WHEN HE FIRST MENTIONED THE #BADLUCK. N I WAS LIKE OOOHH THATS WHY HIS DESIGN IS SO COOL N CHAOTIC N ASYMMETRICAL. HES UNLUCKY!!! i love love love his design so much... #GRaaauruguguraguhhghghgh what else what else is there for me to spew on abt...i think im reachin a limit here..OH MAGNUS. i hope that #we get to know more abt how magnus and arthur met.. like How they became besties... ouuhh...

Thinkin' of WOF Au for DC, but like, it's a Gothamite and Fawcett thing. (And Amity Park if crossover)

Like those are the most magical areas in the world, even if Gotham is cursed as fuck. An unspoken secret of sorts that while they present themselves as human to outsiders, they are all Very Much Not.

Which means hilariously in the league, when everyone expects Batman to be suspicious and short with the new guy- even made bets on it- they are then shooketh when both visibly relax and start talking. And half the shared complaints don't make sense!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now Gotham technically has no Queen, nor does Fawcett, but Batman and Captain Marvel are the closest things. Not in the traditional sense of back when they were in separate tribes (& maybe from a different dimension but shh that was millennia ago) but in the sense of, they're the ones patrolling and protecting the cities along with calling the shots in disasters.

Which does sort of change the dynamic they both have in their city. If one of them calls to arms, the city would follow them. They could declare war, and their cities (begrudgingly in Gotham's underbelly's case of strongest is in charge) would follow. And while Billy is oblivious, both Marvel-the-not-hivemind and Batman are. They know they have to be very careful.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure we all want Nightwing Bruce but no. Bruce, like both his mother and father and father's father and so on before him, is actually an Icewing. The Waynes however, have a case of melanism running in their bloodline. Thomas Wayne? Only his quills and part of his back were darker, but Bruce? Practically pitch black scales that shadow his eyes.

Now Alfred on the other hand, is a Nightwing. No special powers there, though you would hear many a child protest with how he seems to know everything.

Commissioner Gordon is a Mudwing, big stocky and very tired, which translates to his human disguise as a large trenchcoat. He finds this very amusing. Barbara similarly, is half Mudwing. Her mother was a Hivewing, making her a hybrid between both. Which does ironically mean that Batgirl does in fact have insectoid wings. Though that does ponder the question on if they'd all go by their original vigilante names.

Dick is a Silkwing. Wingless as he watches his parents fall and unable to do anything despite this place supposedly being safe for beings like them. He grows into his own, and his wings, when they come in, are dark Gotham colors through and through, with the deep blue of the sky he's come to crave.

Jason is a hybrid between a Mudwing and a Skywing. He's also an animus- not that he knew that. He doesn't find out until he's dying, telling himself to not die, to get back to Gotham, to his dad, his family- And then he wakes up in his Coffin, alive.

Now Cass, raised to be the perfect killer, is also a hybrid, just one between a Nightwing and a Rainwing, egg set out under the moon. Which succeeds, partially. She can't straight up read minds, but combined with her talent in reading body language on both human and inhuman bodies, it's a near thing.

Tim is a Seawing, borderline abandoned by his parents who seek treasures and more wealth as he's trapped back in a city where the water is dark and poisoned. But he's Gothamite, through and through, and he adapts. Scales darker than the original blues he was born with, and glow shifting to that sickly white of the Gotham's Bats.

Now Steph, is a full-blooded Rainwing, and can in fact change her scales, but can mostly be found in purples and golds. Though for a short time she was in another set of colors, thought dead before she slithered out of the shadows older and wiser than before.

Damian is his father's son, but he's also an Al-Ghul. The not-quite dragonet is half Icewing, and half Sandwing. And struggled to adjust at first, to a place so different from his first home where the only other dragons were blood related. But like any Wayne before him, he adjusts, and he adapts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Billy wasn't a Beetlewing originally, and perhaps he would have hesitated if he'd known it would change him, would change his body and the last thing he had of his parents. But his friends, his Team and new family help. And he can pass as a Silkwing like their sort-of foster mother. All six of them can do so now, even if the others look more like hybrids themselves thanks to not being the Champion. They might not be, but they're his family. And that's enough.

#dc #dcu #batman au #batman #captain marvel #billy batson #gotham #wof #wings of fire #fuck it #prompts #batfamily #batfam prompts #dragons #dragon au #who knows why they can turn human or make people believe that's what they are #could be an animus thing could just be a gift from the City Spirits themselves #Gotham's no-man's land arc would be hella different me thinks #dragon cities gotta stick together after all #Billy when first seeing Batman: Oh thank fuck another dragon I keep having to stop myself from asking questions bout wtf they're talkin bou #Bat(oh god another vigilante child)man: ... Oh I understand that perfectly come to this place at this time & I can give you a powerpoint on #human stuff because if your home is anything like Gotham then humanity and aliens are a bit horn-scratching strange #Does Batman adopt Billy? No. #Billy & Co ends up similar to Barbara & Steph lol #They're not adopted but here have rooms & credit card & a college fund & anything else u or ur foster parents might need #y'know i bet martian manhunter would get along with most dragon people over the 'so how do human again' #also just in case someone wants to #dcxdp #dpxdc #also had a random idea that this could be a fun white-collar crossover

Harry Kim saying Naomi is lucky to be born on Voyager and that he would have given "anything" to have her life when he was a kid...

#He sees NO downsides???? #Also I love how Neelix was yelling and panicked and Harry was like 'haha ok buddy. Hey this little guy is ugly huh~? See ya later!' #absolutely unbothered and not the least bit curious - love him <3 #saw someone post about how they don't like 'once upon a time' bc Neelix doesn't tell Naomi right away about her mother .... bro. #c'mon. Anyway I love Neelix and him trying so hard to shield Naomi from bad things / upset bc he KNOWS how fucking painful #it is to lose a family DID make me tear up. #Also Naomi in that burned-down forest (symbolic of innocence?) was a kickass visual. Neelix telling her about his family and Naomi trying #to comfort HIM??? SHE'S SUCH A GOOD KID MAN....Neelix making her a flotter doll was also v cute #OH AND Naomi going 'I Am Borg...' and Neelix going '~??? No you're not~!!!' and Naomi giggling...added NOTHING to the #episode - as it should be!! Sometimes you've just gotta have a really cute silly moment <3 #Tuvok: [says something] / Tom: Nice bedside manner Tuvok =_= #Tuvok: [about to say the most beautiful comforting words you've ever heard one parent say to another] And I took that personally. #Love how Naomi is scared of Seven at first...girl that's your roommate. #HEHEH she starts off the series scared of her but by the end she's her little buddy and also her intern #but yeah never forget that Harry Kim can and will say the most unhinged things but so casually that no one will really clock it #NEVER forget that he says he remembers.....either being an infant or his own birth - both WILD to me #Harry Kim lowkey loves destiny and being special and the idea of 'chosen ones' and the narrative even though he will fight it all if it #harms the ones he loves #Harry: (guy from an alternate timeline who replaced the dead Naomi with the alive one from his own) That kid's living the dream <3

Current thoughts: A Human (rightfully) punching a Vulcan in the face for something and the Vulcan actually immediately realizing they fucked up and agreeing with the Human that punching them was the most logical course of action and becoming their number one defender of the Human not facing consequences

More specifically, I’m imagining them passionately (for a Vulcan) petitioning for this Human not to get in trouble, citing all the logical reasons they should be let go, and after a long while of this, barely dropping the bombshell that they were the person who got punched by the Human

#I’m imagining the inciting incident being something where they were veering into xenophobia territory and not realizing it #then they get punched (followed by a passionate speech) #and realize ‘oh shit that actually was a fucked up thing they were saying wasn’t it??’ #and oh my god they were saying that to humans and probably making all of them feel so unsafe and everything #sometimes you do just. gotta actually knock some sense into a person. #jot them back into reality #*shock not jot #mostly I just like this scenario for the reveal at the end #‘you make a great argument but we should really see how the victim wants this to be handled since they were the one who was hurt’ #‘it’s me. I was the one who was punched.’ #everyone else in shock thinking maybe this was the human’s friend who was being a bit biased #nope. #Star Trek #Vulcans #Humans

imagine if you tried to reconnect with your old friend group after 4 years but then one of your old friends died and the other one moved away. which then ultimately lead to the rest of you dying. and you got trapped in your old friend's dreamworld, meet your other friend who died four years ago and then finding out you are going to lose all of your old memories slowly by being stuck here. would that be fucked up or what?

#playing forever au #MORE CONTEXT PROVIDED IN THE TAGSS i guess. readg. #omori #sorry if this makes NO fucking sense i dont know how to explain this AU #ITS BASED ON MY REVIVED MARI LORE FOR CONTEXT #this was the post neutral ending au i was talking about .. #its i guess meant to be one of the bad conclusions to the revived mari stuff. #and probably the worst possible follow up to the neutral ending. yknow. everyone dying. #IM SOSO SORRY THIS SOUNDS EDGYYY IM AWARE. i want it to be more tragic than anything.... #but i dont know how to explain it so it comes across as more edgy suffering bullshit </3 SAD. u gotta trust me on this one im trying #uhh context to how i came up with this. playing the hikikomori route with a friend and seeing basil at the picnic blanket -> remembering- #that at this point in the timeline his rw self is.. prrobably already dead (cant remember) -> lol wouldnt it be funny if he got trapped- #in headspace like how mari did in my AU -> remembers the neutral ending on the sunny route and how everyone saw basils body -> oh no. #aubrey.txt

[hershelwidget]

I drew something for TBoCI for the first time in what feels like forever even though it’s only been a month

Something something AU where instead of sending each kid to the Magical Islands FT keeps all them with him and Perry as well so they ALL end up on Cold Island pre-collapse… Alternatively here’s four canon characters and two fanmade characters, guess whos who (all of that was sarcasm)

In other words I decided I will starting this over from the ground-up. It’s been over a year and my motivation is finally, FINALLY back. I will be keeping all of the current stuff on @theballadofcoldisland but that ask blog is officially shut down and is now just an archive.

Instead of being one long and strange story that only focuses on characters that honestly have nothing to do with the title, I will split TBoCI into several smaller stories that give a MUCH better insight on the motivations, groups, and the like. I will inevitably share the original files, drafts, and ideas.

This is the part where I get somewhat emotional and sincere apologies in advance to plushii, who I might mention in there. All good things, my friend. All good things.

I think this is the best course of action. There are a lot of characters in this story that despite being incredibly important, are not addressed properly or not at all until the last chapter that only exists in my notes. I mean… A massive amount of this story has only been discussed in a discord chat with a person I cannot contact anymore. It’s a massive mess of an idea that sounds stupider everytime I think of it.

And then a long while ago now, I was on Pony Town and talking to a friend I has just made. I distinctly remember they were in a Celestial skin. I think at some point they’d asked what “TBoCI” meant in my name, and I explained my story to them. They said they were writing a fanstory for MSM as well. I encouraged them to post it.

Now I daily see wonderful, wonderful content for that story, both from the creator and the fans. I finally understood what I did wrong. TBoCI was incoherent and messy where Fallen Stars was clean and consistent. I had so much in my mind that I had spilled it all out to One Person, and now there exists only two people in the world who know who the hell Kane is (possibly only one person now)!

What I’m trying to say is, in short, thanks @plushii-gutz . There’s a few factors to me being able to write TBoCI again, but you’re definitely the biggest part of that. Our encounter was a blessing.

And to everyone, please look forward to a much smoother ride. This is a fun one.

Ripple is the MAIN FACTOR in what ending we get. all good options #i’ll think on that some more. main antagonist ..??? #main antag depends on whos the protag.. if ripple then society/self for the two for one combo #if sammy? felon. if a TB member then that ALSO depends #its kinda like.. against each other but ALSO time itself and/or felon. oh god #ok yeah sammy is def the best option for a general story structure and in every scene possible that hes in. ok? ok #i’ll do more thinkin. love how casual these tags are compared to. *checks notes* #.a comment on whether or not an actual person is alive or dead. *rips notes* oKaY

i have this thing where anytime i think about kanej from the shadow and bone tv series i get deeply mentally unwell

#also this is all high budget fanfiction in my opinion #ive seen some like. complaints? ig? and yes we can be critical about the things we love #and i do agree that some things were ish ofc its not a 1:1 they gotta move along the plot #but also i just think its neat how book readers get to see those scenes play out #even if the experience that non-book readers who dont have the depth of complexity of understanding the characters may not experience the #characters and perceive them 'correctly' with just having watched the show. bc its a DIFFERENT telling of the story. #but six of crows is already such good content and such a good baseline that the tv show in comparison with other fantasy shows is SO GOOD #and its amazing to see representation and experiences and things we love from the books reflected on screen #even if its not how you imagined its fun to take bits of the show that DO align with your imaginings and interpret it how you want to #and in the end its just important that you know the characters in the way that you do. you cant make everyone hold your opinion #anyways #i just think like. yes. healthy critique #but also joy and fandom are wonderful things and you dont have to agree with the source material to experience that and be excited and #joyful and respectful of other people who did enjoy the source material #anyways... #I AM SO UNOKAY YOU GUYS #OH MY GOD #WHAT THE FUCK #I CANNOT #I CANNOT BELIEVE WE GOT ALL OF THAT #I AM STILL SHAKING #LITERALLY HOURS AND HOURS LATER #ANYTIME I THINK ABOUT ANYTHING RELATED TO THEM I WANT TO COLLAPSE ON THE FLOOR AND NEVER MOVE AGAIN #WE GOT BOOK SCENES ON SCREEN ISNT THAT SO COOL ISNT THAT SO COOL #kanej #shadow and bone #shadow and bone s2

I was wondering whether or not Steven was married to the person he was living with (or possibly just sleeping with?) in the first Papyrus skit. At first I thought "oh they're married and then they divorced" but then I thought "well... wait, you can live with someone while just dating... or maybe they're just sleeping casually... maybe that's what's happening"

But then I noticed...

The wedding ring! He was married to this person. And they divorced most likely because of him spiraling back into being unable to function because of Papyrus.

"Not this again." How many times has he gone through this? How many years? Since Avatar first released in 2009? And this first skit was released in 2017... let's assume everything follows our own timeline considering Papyrus 2 took place in 2024 (because of the banner saying 2024 the year this skit was released)

So when he was married, he had been struggling with Papyrus on and off for eight years. Then in the sequel, it's been fifteen years total. Fifteen. Has Steven really been struggling with Papyrus on and off for fifteen years? No wonder he cried when he got some fucking CLOSURE finally. some ACCEPTANCE. my GOD

anyway. this is my fuckigng ANGEL I love him more than anything inthis whole entire world I don't eat I DON'T SLEEP I do nothing but THINK of YOU 😭😭😭😭💕💞💓💗💖💓💞💕💝💘💕💓💞💝💟💝💘💟💕💕💞💓💓💞

#if he knew abt my 'common' triggers he'd be like GOD I UNDERSTAND YOU. and then we'd make out in the produce aisle #any time he cannot eat or sleep bc he's haunted i would fuckign SUPPORT my HUSBAND #THERAPY! STAYING UP AND LISTENING TO HIM! HOLDING HIS HAND WHEN HE SEES PAPYRUS ON CUPCAKE POSTERS! #EXPOSURE THERAPY! GROUNDING EACH OTHER WHEN WE SEE TRIGGERS! #he sees a pink donut and he's like 'OH BABE IT'S BARBIE'S COLOR :D how's she doing?? you told Ken I said hi right?' #slowly stepping in front of the donut display so it blocks my view and he reaches for the blue ones for me #or when I see a papyrus poster out in the wild i rip it up and make it into confetti #and he's like. god i'm so in love with you. and then we make out in the middle of the street #and at the end of everything he hugs me and says 'hey if i can get better. so can you. ok?' #'with you every step of the way star girl' #his trigger was reclaimed by associating it with something better and being given love and support #bitch i can do that too #barbie pink!!!!!!!!!!!!! #now he's gotta help me with 16 other ubiquitous triggers but baby steps baby steps #love notes #💕♬♪ ♡ You don’t have to change when I’m around you - ̗̀˚₊·♡📜💕☆˚₊· ̖́- #god i love steven so fucking much i cannot believe how much of a main F/O this guy has become #the SECOND he mentions triggers in the second skit not even five seconds into the vid #i was like oh my god he's just like me fr fr #my bff made the joke 'you really do F/O every single ryan character' HAHAHA
