#But rn I'm astounded

Finished FFXVI

Afraid the game isn’t beating the incest allegations

#when the incest is stronger than the main couple lmao #ffxvi #I will have to let this ending sink in #But rn I'm astounded #(also not afraid #In fact #v. pleasently surprised) #now I guess #I gotta pull my weight in this tiny cultured dinghy and write some crumbs

I think what got on my nerves was the sheer amount of people I saw calling qjaiden getting in an accident. like, okay, maybe her seeing the door while looking for secrets was accidental. but her actively trying multiple ways to get both into the rooms and into the chests very much wasn't.

I'm all for the conflict it'll bring but you cannot call someone trying multiple times to get into a hidden room, and then into the chests it holds, an accident. the only reason she couldn't get the chests was because codebreakers were disabled, but she still absolutely tried. that's not an accident.

let her claim to be silly and do things that'll hurt people and let those actions be on purpose, even if she doesnt mean harm. she did that with the intention of snooping and only stopped when she couldn't get information, and shes so much more interesting that way than if shes just Silly and it was an accident.

Oh I saw the accident claims too, I'm just not bothering with them because they're fucking stupid. She deliberately went to make everything she needed for a codebreaker, she tried using said codebreaker multiple times on the door, she left to get a bike to glitch in, she used a chorus fruit to get in. She left the chests she thought were personal to him alone, but she absolutely tried getting into several, especially the ones she could 100% tell were Federation-related, like the keycards chest. She would've tried to get into more if she understood Portuguese well enough to tell which ones were also Federation-related.

Just calling a female character "silly" and chalking every Funky thing a female does up to an accident removes the character's agency in every way fucking possible. It isn't feminist to say that your fav female character didn't mean to do the Bad Thing she 100% meant to do, or that she didn't understand that she was doing something wrong, because that's just. Misogynist. It's hard to describe, but not allowing your female characters to have any agency at all is fucking misogynist and I'm tired of this fandom pretending that it's this paragon of feminism when it constantly undermines its own favorite female characters while trying to keep itself from being as outwardly misogynist as the DSMP fandom was, and is.

Let female characters do fucked up things! Let them do them on purpose! q!Jaiden isn't some clueless idiot wandering around the server accidentally walking into locked and hidden rooms and trying to break into chests, she's someone who broke into a secret location because she was, in her own words, snooping around. Purposefully ignoring her own literally outwardly-spoken motivations just to call her "silly" and pretend she's never done anything wrong is a disservice to her character and her player.

#asks! #discourse ig #the absolute hypocrisy i'm seeing rn is astounding #i'm seeing people who rb the whole 'feminist mc*t spaces' thing #while actively being misogynist by saying everything a q*mp female character does is silly and an accident #like? do you not have a bone of critical thinking in your body?

Ruin | Yandere Dainsleif x Reader

CW: Stalking, unhealthy relationships, yandere themes, implied murder.

Word Count: 658

Dainsleif has never known a ruin quite so undoing as you. 

To be entirely fair to you, and truthful to himself, it’s not wholly you. Rather, it’s him, with you acting as the unwitting catalyst. 

You’re none the wiser to the new shadow you’ve gained. Sure, you might feel eyes on you, late at night, as you walk a little faster home than you normally do. Or you might notice the occasionally misplaced item on your nightstand, earning what’s a little longer than a passing glance as you try to figure out what’s wrong with what you’re looking at.

But it’s nothing concrete. Not yet. Nothing you can take to the Knights, nothing to make you do much more than double-checking the locks on your window every night before bed. You used to sleep with the window open, letting the wind carry the gentle ambience of sleepy Mondstadt evenings in with it. Not anymore. 

Dainsleif knows that he’s the cause of your newfound paranoia. The guilt that is brought with it eats at him, worse than his curse, cutting deeper than any knife ever could. 

The guilt eats at him, and yet…

He still finds himself sitting beneath your windowsill, pretending he can hear your soft breaths, watch the rise and fall of your chest, see the peace in your expression as you sleep– even though your back is turned to the window, and it’s too dark to see with the moon hidden behind dark clouds, anyway. 

Eventually, standing guard at your window–a self-appointed duty, if only to disguise the ugly truth of the act and soothe what little of his conscience has not yet rotted and died– isn’t enough. 

Dain moves from nights spent under the stars outside your home to nights spent standing sentinel in your home. It’s for your safety, he tells himself, a paper lie through gritted teeth, it’s for your own good. 

He never touches you, of course. But it never stops him from looking, from standing across from your sleeping form and memorizing the gentle, quiet peace that finds you in dreams. You’re like the brightest star in his sky, blazing bright and fast across the backdrop of the universe. And Dain knows better than anyone that the brightest flame burns the fastest. 

So he holds you as close as he can without holding you. Stands guard while you sleep, kills any wayward monsters that wander a little too close to you, keeps as much of the darkness at bay as he can manage despite being made of rot and pitch himself. 

You will never know your shadow, but he knows you. It’s enough.

It’s enough, he thinks, to stand guard, to protect you, to slump against the windowsill bruised and battered and know you’re safe, making the blood on his hands worth the sin he’ll never scrub them clean of. 

It’s enough, he thinks, as in a moment of weakness after hundreds of nights spent silently standing guard by your bedside, he breaks the very promise he’s sworn to himself– to you– with only the stars as his witness, and kisses the inside of your wrist. 

It’s enough. And Dainsleif knows soon it won’t be, desires sparking like hunger pains, unbidden, in his gut. 

He knows he’s damned. Knows the blood on his hands isn’t entirely for you, that if you knew the things he’s done under the guise of your protector, you’d think him a monster. 

But if he’s a monster, then so be it. Let his feet fall heavy as he returns to your bedside each night. Let you stir and see him for the monster he is, let you know your shadow. May you never forgive him for what he’s done, for what he’s yet to do. 

Dainsleif brushes a thumb over your knuckles, knelt at your bedside enraptured like he has for months now, and thinks that perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to damn you, too.

[dazais-guardian-angel]

delighted that i'm so much more fond of chuuya at this point than i was just a couple years ago. it took the stormbringer play, the cannibalism play, and the fifteen manga (still haven't gotten to those two novels in their entirety, I Will Soon I Promise), it took 6ish+ years, but i can confidently say I Get It Now. Now i just need asagiri to break him (affectionate) in the manga and actually give him a character arc already <333

#i went through my own character arc okay i have Learned #still don't really get it from the pre-light novels era but i definitely get it now #he's actually written so well in those lns it's astounding. now fr if only that could be transferred to the actual manga *sigh* #if you can't tell i'm still so pissed and betrayed by the meursault arc. on all fronts lol but chuuya was one of the worst victims ughhhh #i may be hyped about this fyodor shit rn but do not mistake that as me forgetting how angry i still am over all that anticlimactic bullshit #happy birthday chuuya you really deserve so much better </3 #been thinking so much lately about what asagiri is planning for him. or if he's planning anything at all. the signs are so contradictory!!! #i know the fandom made him a huge thing from the early anime days when he probably wasn't meant to be more than an extreme side character #why? again i still don't understand (shipping. it's shipping okay; that's why i was always unfairly biased against him lmao) #but even if that's the case then he wrote the light novels that are SO GOOD so like!!!! #now there's buildup!!!! now there's expectations for him!!!!!! #you can't just never have verlaine and adam not come back in the story again at some point #in the same way that ango did from a light novel #and how oda HAS to be addressed by the end of the story #and all the lore bs in 55 minutes #just WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING WITH CHUUYA ASAGIRI. I NEED TO KNOWWWWWW #THE SIGNS ARE VERY WORRYING BUT IN A COMPELLING WAY AND I NEED THEM TO PAY OFF SO BADLY #me going literally insane lately over a character i still claim to not be one of my favorites. lmao

[outofbodyinjury]

every time I see some cool cute content from the latest in f1blr I'm also reminded by an inevitable post very close on its heels that the reason we're celebrating the little things is that max fucking won again, and then I'm out again for another month

#i don't even hate him i'm just astounded by how boring it got and how charles is cursed by god or something #ice skatey sport may be sucking ass rn but at least it's in a cool new interesting way #also the guts are on the table which is neat

what posts look like on my parents' shitty wifi

#eliot posts #this is the exact same wifi that i grew up with #that i had throughout high school and most of middle school (before that it was Worse) #but i moved to The Big City and got SPOILED by the lightning fast wifi there #or. technically it is a small town. but it is The Big City to me. bc compared to where i grew up it is HUGE and VERY URBAN #the fact that there are NEIGHBOURS whose houses i can SEE without having to climb The Big Hill... ASTOUNDING! #but in reality it is like. a hallmark movie type town. you know the type. #but my childhood house that i'm visiting rn is literally In The Fucking Woods

Me, into my void: So, Anyway, did you know "Izzy" can also be short for "Isidor{e}"/"Isador{e}" which was also historically a common given name among {+Ashke} Jews, and it's much more likely the name {DigiAdvs} 'Izzy''s U.S. Eng dub name came from that instead of from 'JUST'/'obviously' 'Izumi'?....

#i know i'm being vague rn by not tagging who/what this is specifically about #but that's bc I don't want to be openly negative in the main tag #and there is an ASTOUNDING amount of people already being equally pissy to people who are openly expressing disappointment #also if this ends in something like. actually good (lmao) i can easily delete this

Going through social situations I didn't have the chance to prepare for to stay humble

#rambling #It's astounding how hard it is for me to Think At All when i do something i wasn't expecting in a day #Like I'm at a café rn cos I'm hungry & didn't have time to eat before leaving my house #It took me so long to ask for a menu when the waiter approached my table

[sunsetinreal]

hi sunset I Hope ur having a good day What drove u to get (presumably Back) on tumblr… also Hows ur day been..

hey. my day's actually kind of going well, thanks for asking. right now i'm listening to my partner snore from the couch while i work on school stuff.

what drove me to get back on twitter was a dumb billionaire's dumb decision + the idea that much less of the people from twitter will be here. i also kind of like the platform more in a general sense. i haven't been on tumblr since my days in the daylight force and a lot has changed since then but yknow LMAO

#i'm working on not being as much of an asshole. got a new job. started meditating. the works #its astounding how much can be accomplished when the weight of the world isn't on your shoulders #actively ignoring whatever the fuck thaumaturge's ''show'' is has helped too a lot i think #for the first time in a while i actually feel pretty secure. now i've said that things are probably gonna fuck up for me but oh well #at least i have this time yknow #i know it's probably selfish anyway to be doing what i'm doing and i have an obligation but my the people i care about as of now are ok #and that's all that matters to me rn.
