#Father of victories

[vaguely-concerned]

there are a lot of daddy issues to go around on DS9 in general, but odo, bashir and garak are really in their own special little fucked up 'what am I but wrought in my father's image' club

#star trek #star trek ds9 #ds9 #odo #julian bashir #elim garak #(I personally think we should put their dads in a cage match and let them kill each other. tain would probably win #but we could just shoot him after he claimed that victory. I Would Like To See It) #the triumvirate of bad dads to karmically oppose the sheer power of good dad vibes benjamin sisko has #specifically dads who Cannot and Will Not allow the healthy individuation of their sons into whole separate people #apart from what their father's hands have shaped them into #where that is one of the first things sisko accepts and realizes he must allow jake to do right at the early seasons #the bad dad club boys seem more specifically forcibly held in place to serve as mirrors for their fathers #and have to find ways to break away from that in more or less graceful ways; breaking off more or less important parts of themselves #to do so #dr mora seems to have a 'oh fuck.' moment where he sort of realizes what he's done #but the sympathy that gains him from me is hm. neglible lmao at least tain is basically fully just a monster #what's your excuse mora #I haven't met bashir's dad properly yet but I've seen enough to suspect I'm not going to be very charitably inclined towards him either

Alternate Ending

It’s basically the ending when you choose to go with Garcia, but Amy joins the party. Both Fathers are concerns and confused about Amy not only seemingly still being alive, but also willingly joining them in demon hunt

Followup to that post of mine (that got popular for whatever reason)

[juriyuna]

Here are Juri/Yuna (Vampire ver.)'s victory quotes, for anyone curious!

1. [Juri:] "Oi, c'mon, I ain't done fuckin' shit up yet!"

2. [Yuna:] "I... may have taken that trick a little too far..."

3. [Yuna:] "Did you really think you could win...?" / [Juri:] "You're a hundred years too early."

And a bonus TL for their unused victory quote from the game's files:

4. [Yuna:] "Here, a treat for a job well-done..." / [Juri:] "Don't treat me like some snot-nosed twerp."

#magia record #kureha yuna #ooba juri #juriyuna #juri's solo line is basically that Father I Crave Violence meme #i love the implications of yuna's solo victory line #someone says ''trick or treat!'' and yuna goes ''trick it is'' and caves their head in with her kanabo #their unused quote is cute :') #you know juri was already unwrapping the candy while telling yuna to knock it off #(yuna's line is more literally ''have some candy as a reward'' #but i couldn't resist slipping a well-done joke in there. just to rub in the ''casually teasing juri'' aspect.)

In the end, politics was an accretion of personal decisions, and that means that the personality of the protagonists cannot be left out of the discussion. It determined not only how they reacted to the situations in which they found themselves, but how others reacted to them. The growing support for Edward IV in 1461 must have owed something to the realisation that he would make an effective king - whereas his father never seems to have been regarded in that light.

--Rosemary Horrox, "Personalities and Politics", The Wars of the Roses (Problems in Focus), edited by A.J Pollard

...When the worst had happened, and civil war was a reality, the overwhelming imperative was to find some way of restoring order. At the level of high politics, what this entailed in practice was a rallying around the de facto king. The Wars of the Roses, far from weakening the monarchy, actually strengthened it, since the king was the only man able to surmount faction. In spite of (Henry VI’s) manifest failings, Richard, duke of York's criticism of the regime commanded little high-level support - and would have commanded even less but for the crown's alienation of the junior branch of the Nevilles, headed by York's brother-in-law the earl of Salisbury. York in fact never did attain the political viability to break the vicious circle of temporary ascendancy and political exclusion. It was his son, Edward, earl of March, who finally mustered enough support to take the throne. He was able to do so in part because the situation had been transformed by the country's descent into open war, which reduced the compulsion to uphold the king as the embodiment of stability. Once it was no longer a matter of averting war, but of stopping it, political opinion began to divide more evenly between Henry VI and his rival. However, the crucial change may well have been York's own death at the Battle of Wakefield late in 1460. In the ensuing months Edward of York was able to present himself as the man who could mend the shattered political community. That self-identification with unity proved immensely potent, and it was not a role which could plausibly have been filled by his father. In the eyes of contemporaries, York had been the begetter of faction: a man tainted by his willingness to go to extremes.

#oof💀 #I can't decide if this is more awkward or ironic #But it's nevertheless VERY interesting #Edward IV #Richard Duke of York #my post #wars of the roses #Edward still had to win Towton (ie: a military victory) to actually secure his kingship and bring over a lot of the nobility to his side #But this point is nonetheless very true - not just for his road to victory but also for the image he cultivated after he had won #It's very common to hear about how Edward IV was eventually viewed by many as a 'better' alternate to the throne than Henry VI #But what isn't acknowledged nearly as much is how by that logic he would've equally been viewed as a better alternate than his father #Ironically this entire point is made even clearer by the actions of York's own staunchest supporters ie the Nevilles #Certainly both Edward & Warwick learned their lesson from York's disastrous attempt at an acclamation in 1460 #Considering how comparatively well-planned and well-executed Edward's own acclamation was in comparison #This is another reason I dislike how the Yorkists are often viewed and spoken of as a collective. the broader dynastic label tends to #minimize the differences in certain situations like this one or Richard's usurpation

very fun to have tristan in mind as i go through anora’s dialogue file actually, because it’s necessary to the narrative i have in mind that he bears a grudge against the mac tirs as a whole but wow he really would hate her in specific. which almost makes me more committed to putting her on the throne alone this run because i love the weight it gives that choice

#i think he’d still call her ‘the mac tir’ all his life just to be a bitch #swearing fealty to her with white noise roaring in his head #please tell me you have to kiss rings in ferelden #tristan cousland #i dont think this is without a certain kind of empathy though #what that moment is going to be like when alistair kills loghain and he waits for the sense of victory to come and he waits and he waits #and all he can see is anora’s face and think of the last time he saw his father. #he still hates her JGHDKSKSK its just like. self recognition in the other (derogatory)

Sending 🩷 to friends and my brain is like ‘you are performative, a covert narcissist and manipulative and the only reason people hang out with you is because you are an abusive manipulator’ and I’m just like okay I’m going to say I love them even when you do this brain even when my hands shake.

#small victories are nice #this is actually basically what my bio father said to me from age five or so #that’s what i was an it a fuckdoll a disgusting tainted thing #and it’s in my bones but also…the scars are heavy and they hurt but i am also having other things

Lucifer->Chuck & Sam->John is driving me insane it’s. You’re his favorite, which means you must have earned it, means you’ve done something right and he considers you an equal because you see how he treats your brother, a soldier, a tool. And equals get equal say, don’t they? Get a choice in where you go next. So, Lucifer invents disobedience because no one ever tried to argue with God before, and Sam invents disobedience because John never considered it could happen.

You try and try and try, look up at your father as he casts you out and tell him “I won’t become you.” Cage or college, in the end, Dad’s not even got to be there to drag you back into the fight. He can send his soldier to fetch you instead, and a couple protesting words from you does not a rebellion make. Lucifer learns how to make beings who will worship the ground he walks on, and better, learns how to discard them. Sam learns how to leave everything behind to hunt, and better, how to leave all of himself behind, too, in a revenge quest for someone who didn’t ask for it. “I won’t become you.” There’s the problem, you already were.

#like. Chuck is the younger sibling in the cycle. Lucifer & Sam are meant to be him. #I can hold two conflicting headcanons in my head: Lucifer loses scenario and Lucifer always wins scenario #and the latter is like. that’s what Chuck wants. that’s what he always wants. he wants his underdog to win. #he wants to see himself win. because if he watches it happen enough times. it’ll feel like victory rather than betrayal. #but yeah fuck okay just. the fact that Sam & Lucifer are closer to BEING like their fathers #Michael & Dean do what their fathers wanted. they obey. they wear duty well. but they aren’t their fathers they just aren’t they can’t be #but Lucifer & Sam. it’s already there. #no escaping becoming your parents I guess. #idk I’m being rambly again. daddy issues and all. #spn #lucifer spn #sam winchester #chuck shurley #john winchester

Gooddddd its just kinda so fucked up the way Casey Jr is stuck in the past like this. His timeline doesn't exist anymore and even if it did he would have nothing to return to but a barren wasteland just waiting for the Kraang to kill him too. He saw his senseis die but he's surrounded by them, even the ones he lost years ago, he has his mom again, he's even got Splinter now. Everyone else is happy but Casey Jr is still kinda upset cus even though he's surrounded by the people he loves, and they're finally happy and at peace, they're not really the people he grew up with and they never will be and i just- IT'S SO SAD HE PROBABLY MISSES HIS FAMILY SO MUCH BUT THE FUCKED UP THING IS THEY'RE RIGHT THERE BUT IT'S NOT REALLY THEM AND I JUST AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#mystic hands to scare away the boogey men #rottmnt #im having emotions about this give this boy a hug #he misses his sensei/father figure but leo is right there calling him his honorary brother #he misses his mom but Cassandra is giving him a noogie telling him not to call her mom #he misses his comander but april is right there fighting over the last slice with the bros #he misses his masters but donnie is right there tinkering away like always and mikey is there painting a mural to their victory #but neither of them really have any affection towards him no robotic head pats and cool weapons for birthdays #and no checking up on him to protect him from nightmares with his
