“What came out was not what went in.” A rasping laugh as the Carver laid the shard of bone on the ground beside him. “How lovely she is—new as a fawn and yet ancient as the sea. How she calls to you. A queen, as my sister once was. Terrible and proud; beautiful as a winter sunrise.” ♛

it's so funny to me that caleb and veth really did just trade off the job of intensely pining for the other at like the halfway point of the campaign. like, imo, nott in the early days did not behave in any real romantic or even romance-adjacent ways toward him--I imagine it would be very hard to even think in that way when you hate what you look like so much, have such low self-esteem, and are actively lying about your entire past, including a secret husband. caleb, on the other hand, is kind of diving directly back into the sort of relationship he had with astrid and eadwulf. very close, very intimate, we-huddled-for-warmth-together-and-oops-it-led-to-something-else sort of thing. he is the one who expresses that he's fine with it if people think he and nott are romantically together when they're talking to keg. nott is the one who pushes back on that. he calls her his life partner. unknowingly, he compares his feelings for nott to nott's feelings for yeza. his behavior only really starts to change after he finds out about veth's husband because suddenly all of that other stuff is rendered inappropriate in retrospect. but even then he compliments her to yeza over dinner in the most awkward of ways, he admits to being jealous, he calls yeza "a lucky man" to have her, he stares at veth and yeza closed bedroom door for far too long, he creates an entire arcane tower with room for her family just so she'll stay with him. in general, his behavior is not, um, totally and completely platonic about it, you know?
like, veth's feelings for caleb are canonical and therefore indisputable in their existence, but caleb in the early days was not that dissimilar to how veth was acting near the end of the campaign. it really paints a picture of "right person, wrong time" in the way things just didn't line up for them. or, as veth would say: "in another world, maybe"

if the theory of sam reich being replaced by .. evil wizard dalton reich (and i cant believe i am partaking in this discurse) is true..
i've seen some people asking the question about what those childhood tapes mean. Well i am one of the ancient ones that owned vhs tapes and you know you could replace whats stored on those tapes with overwriting it with new material but it would slowly degrade the quality as the magnetic tape the information is stored on isn't necessarly made to be re-recorded on indefinetly which would also explain the degrading quality of the gamechanger episode.
So my theory is that dalton reich wants to erase sam from history and to do this he is slowly erasing any proof that could hint on sam and dalton being two different people. One thing he appearantly needed to do is overwrite these old vhs tapes of sams childhood.

please don't blame yourself not knowing you were neurodivergent sooner.
please don't blame yourself if you did know you were neurodivergent but your support needs weren't met for whatever reason.
everyone deserves to have access to disability aids and support if they need it.
you are not an inconvenience for wanting to be understood or supported. you are not broken.
it is not your fault that the systems you needed weren't there when you needed them.
no matter what anyone says, you deserve to live in a world where you can be happy and do the things that you want to do and exist how you want to.
I am so sorry that it's so difficult to get that sometimes, but it is not your fault. and you still deserve support now even if you *got by" without.

I raise you Chris Redield who is awful at dirty talk and only fucks in missionary, but has the dirtiest breeding kink.
Maybe it's the way he hasn't been intimate in years, or the sense of security you give him in a world full of enemies that come back from the dead with the only intent to kill him, but there's something so alluring about you that Chris can never let go of.
Images of your pretty smile as you welcome him home flash in his mind, his burly arms wrapping tighter around your waist, wide hips slamming against yours as his thick, veiny cock rams inside your velvety walls nonstop, your sharp nails digging into his skin— dragging down, only feeding his desire to breed you even more.
“Can I...?” Chris is an awkward man. An awkward man who spent most of his life fighting monsters, not fucking, yet the way you always understand him will never fail to make him proud, his warm face finding shelter on the crook of your neck at your desperate nods, feeling your pretty throat vibrate as he drags moan after moan out of you, his thumb rubbing circles on your hardened clit.
His lips crash against yours to muffle his needy, deep groans, the feeling of your wet, warm tongue wrapping around his makes him fuck into you harder, your arched back fitting so perfectly on his rough, calloused palm— like you were both meant to be, missing pieces to a puzzle now completed, the sensation of your walls pulsating and tightening up around his cock drags a loud groan out of him, ropes of thick, hot cum shooting deep inside you.
Chris allows his body to relax on top of yours after your shared orgasm— only interrupted by the rough taps you give his burly arm, finding his body too heavy to have on top of yours so casually. He lets out a small chuckle, gently pulling out of you and laying next to you, his strong arms wrapped around your body, the silent promise of keeping you safe forever engraved in his soul.

I still don't understand why Crux had to die for the tomb to be opened at the end of NTN. Wasn't the tomb already open? How could it have re-set to need John's blood again?
It sounds like Paul was somehow able to get some of Kiriona's blood despite her impenetrable skin ("Take all of it." "I don't need all of it - but I need to keep it wet..."). And that maybe they only needed "fresh thanergy" because Kiriona (and presumably her blood) is dead. Because Harrow didn't need to kill anybody the first time she went in, right?
But in HTN it's implied that Harrow entered the tomb multiple times and that it took her a while to dismantle the traps in each section. And she presumably didn't have Gideon's blood under her nails every time she went in (hard to say for sure, since the memory recounted to us has been edited to be Certified Griddle-Free). (And anyways, doesn't Pyrrha say in HTN that fresh blood is thalergenic, not thanergenic? So why would Gideon's blood being fresh meet the thanergy requirement?)
So I don't understand why the tomb wasn't just open for our little rescue crew to bust in, and if it had been re-locked, why Crux dying unlocked it. (Or how they got Gideon's blood, really, but for that one I'm willing to just accept the magic of "it happened offscreen.")
