#a better resurrection

[t0rschlusspan1k]

I have no wit, no words, no tears; My heart within me like a stone Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears; Look right, look left, I dwell alone; I lift mine eyes, but dimm'd with grief No everlasting hills I see; My life is in the falling leaf: O Jesus, quicken me. My life is like a faded leaf, My harvest dwindled to a husk: Truly my life is void and brief And tedious in the barren dusk; My life is like a frozen thing, No bud nor greenness can I see: Yet rise it shall—the sap of Spring;

Christina Rossetti, A Better Resurrection (1857); from “Goblin Market and Other Poems”

Chara Week Day 4: Flowers

[Image Description: A digital drawing of Chara and Flowey from Undertale. They're on the Surface, with grass and trees and mountains stretching out behind them. Chara has golden flowers clustered around their left eye and speckled in their hair and on their hands. They're kneeling on the ground and smiling wide, holding Flowey's flower pot in one arm. Their other hand is outstretched in front of them and holding a camera. Flowey has a red bow wrapped around his stem and stickers in the shape of hearts, stars, and smiley faces decorating his pot. He looks annoyed as Chara leans their face in close to his to take a photo. /End ID]

Ok but how did ace even get a girlfriend in the first place? Did she confess and he just went along with it? Did he think having a girlfriend would make him seem cooler? Was it a dare or something? Cause for someone like ace to just go ghost on her and not have an actual talk, kind of makes me feel like these two were not friends before they were partners.

So then, fast forward to nrc, ace is trying so hard to lose the feelings he has for his best friend. Because that's all they are: friends, homies, if you (duece) will. Yuu has the cream of the crop to pick from, he's kind of at a disadvantage here.

Plus, whose to say their entire dynamic won't change the second they get together? He doesn't want to get bored and start to hate one of his dearest friends by proxy, so might as well just play it safe and suffer a little than take that risk and the both of you suffer a lot 🤷‍♂️.

Meanwhile yuu, who still has their old phone/mp3 player, has been playing Jenny by Studiokillers on repeat. Lying in their bed, just down horrendous for this absolute ball of boyish mischief. How dare he, honestly?

Well. At least he gives them a lot of openings to flirt with him?

*disclaimer, I was home schooled so my actual knowledge about middle school dating is beyond non-existent so take what I say with a grain of salt

The information we get about Ace's girlfriend comes from his suitor suit vignette and he does not mention how they actually got together, just some of the things that they did and how boring Ace thought all of them were. And I agree! The way they broke up does not make it sound like they were friends before dating, though they could have been casual acquaintances. The way Ace likes to goof around makes me think he was probably pretty popular, and had a lot of those types of relationships. His description of the relationship makes me think he probably went out with her because he thought she was cute and that it would be fun to have a girlfriend, but didn't actually stop to think about who she was as a person or what dating actually means. And hey, he was in middle school. He was going to be a bit stupid about those sort of things. The experience seems to have made him think a lot about what he wants in a partner, and we know from Ortho he was telling the truth when he's forced to spell it out:

His voice lines flesh out what he wants a bit more; he says he thinks it's important to find someone you have fun with and that he wants to get married later in life. So Ace knows what he wants... he just gets really embarrassed when called out on it and refuses to talk honestly about his feelings (though he kind of does that in general hehe)

So flashing forward to NRC. Ace knows what he wants and Yuu is such a perfect fit it hurts. Best friends to lovers is a popular trope in fiction sure, but in real life? At a school? Yeah right, Ace still has to see them every day if they break up, and not to mention... I feel like Ace, Deuce, Grim, and Yuu sort of fell into their dynamic almost immediately after the mine adventure and didn't ever stop to think about it because of how natural the friendship felt. And Ace knows if things end badly he's losing the whole squad, so yeah. Better to just swallow this and stay where he is. He's still in school! He doesn't need to think about dating! He's got a housewarden to surpass, upperclassmen he admires, and a bunch of idiots to take care of. He can worry about dating later. Besides, these feelings will go away after graduation he's delusional sure of it!!!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch Ramshackle Yuu is literally in a living hell. Maybe they're a bit more emotionally mature than Ace and they just know this could work out but THEY CAN'T TELL IF HE LIKES THEM BACK BECAUSE HE KEEPS GETTING SHY AND MAKING JOKES FML!!!! But like he also lets them steal his gym shirt :ccc and he gets pouty when someone else makes an offer :ccc and really smug when Yuu says no ccc: so like maaaybe? Or maybe not and this meaningless flirting is all they'll ever have and they just. Try to be ok with it and they sort of hate themselves for it.

until Sebek properly joins the friend group and looses his fucking shit

#<3 asks #twisted wonderland x reader #twst x reader #ace trappola x reader #aceyuu #ace trappola #had a thought insp by mochi's request they did for me that um #if crowley is malleus's dad #and he's trying to resurrect his mom #there could be parallels between him and ace in a timeloop aceyuu au #they both have a love taken from them by fate #they both have a friend who they've helped inspire to be better that they are forced to abandon #maybe out of fear they won't approve of their methods #maybe out of fear that they will #also started thinking about the steadfast tin soldier and using that as symbolism for aceyuu (i am down bad) #(i have other things i need to do) #(like fix my masterlist jesus)

The new dungeon meshi episode has scarred me emotionaly, physicaly and mentally (add the fact that i watched episode 17 of critical role campain 3 half an hour earlier)

The final shot

Marcille's screams of horror when they dont find falin and when they do

Shenshi's sacrifice

How senshi and chilchuck have to PHYSICALLY restrain marcille from shearching further and then comfort her

Laios self blame and self hate for what he did

Laios letting the dragon tear his leg apart to save his sister

Laios flashbacks

Marcille slowly losing herself as they dig further and further and dont find anything

And small but lovely detail, marcille cleaning up herself before searching for falin

Holy shit

I am not able to sleep i have too many thoughts

#i thought it was gonna be a silly show #but holy fuck #nothing better happen to marcille cause im really attached to her #and she better resurrect fallin or something #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #marcille donato #marcille dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #laios touden #laios dungeon meshi #chilchuck dungeon meshi #chilchuck #senshi dungeon meshi #senshi #falin touden #falin dungeon meshi #farcille

I feel like wwdits is a show written to be in the worst timeline. Its like the characters choose all the wrong options. There were so many options, so many ways things could've gone and these characters continue to surprise us by choosing the dumbest, the most rediculous, the absolute worst options.

#wishing for your coffin to close for you once instead of wishing to be able to eat human food or go out into the sun unharmed? #covering all the mirrors with rags instead of just painting over them or breaking them when you're on the run hiding your vampiric identify #telling your family you haven't seen in 10 years that you were working for a popup Panera bread at the rail roads instead of just saying- #that you got a better more stable job? #being able to resurrect anyone and only chosing to do podcasts and interviews instead of bringing back preformers #they're all idiots your honor #wwdits #what we do in the shadows #guillermo de la cruz #nandor the relentless #laszlo cravensworth #nadja of antipaxos #wwdits guillermo #nandor wwdits #wwdits nadja #wwdits laszlo #i mean-Jackie Daytona

so uh, why didn't orin just kill durge? she had the opportunity, and it would've absolutely been the correct thing to do to a competitor spawn, given her ambitions. why give them the chance to live and go on killing and perhaps earn their father's favor once more, while risking to fall out of favor herself for leaving a victim *alive*?

obviously a plot hole, if you ask me, but maybe you can come up with a watsonian explanation

Bhaal wants ritual combat and during a Durge playthrough Sceleritas may flat out tell you that you are being tested. He wants Durge alive and to undergo these trials.

Orin also doesn't just want them dead, she wants the religious combat trial so that she can prove herself more worthy of Bhaal than them in view of the entire church the "proper way" (for lack of a better word), but Durge kept refusing her. So she bashes in their brain aiming to scramble it and tadpoles them, expecting them to crawl their way back, disgraced and forced to fight to regain their place (Bhaal will guide them back to their destiny, and as a godspawn they should be perfectly capable of surviving anything between them and her even with their brain stitching itself back together)

I would hazard a guess that Orin prayed for the chance to prove herself - consciously or subconsciously - and Bhaal came to her (presumably in vision form) and gave her these instructions to follow with the promise of giving her her chance.

Durge was crafted directly by Bhaal as his self-insert to destroy the world. Orin - "the other one" as Bhaal likes to call her (more reasons to stab him) - was born to be sacrificed to him by Durge when they claim their place as Bhaal's Chosen and proxy upon Toril. Durge isn't allowed to lose, Orin was born to. Bhaal doesn't want a "mere grandchild" with "diluted blood" like Orin. If Durge loses once then Bhaal resurrects them (he doesn't do this for Orin) if they lose again then Bhaal will let the party kill her and resurrect Durge and subject them to the worst ending (where he puppets them directly sort of like he did his mortal avatars in the Time of Troubles.) If Durge is dead then whoever takes their place will kill Orin and that's the end of it. Bhaal can resurrect her too, but he's not going to.

This is his plan to test whether he did a good enough job crafting and shaping the Dark Urge or if he needs to scrap Plan B and move onto Plan C; Orin is his puppet facilitating it.

I would assume in a non-Durge playthrough that they don't survive either her or Kressa, and she shrugs and drags their corpse back as a trophy. I have no idea whether her diary talking about the tadpole plan is still there if you're doing a non-Durge run. The question of why Bhaal doesn't resurrect Durge in this case I am going to consign to the plot hole called "we wanted eight potential protagonists". Trying to make sense of that one is a losing battle, I think.

#Orin's story is a tragedy #She should get to use my Durge as a pincushion - or better yet Bhaal himself #And I should be allowed to resurrect her and send her to therapy #headcanoning. #.speculation. #whatever #/orin #/durge #babbling #asks #edgelord hours #villainous nonsense

carlo's inherent tragedy as a character means that if he hadn't died young he would've gone through something worse. the horrifying realization that he inherited his father's personality <3

#lies of p #geppetto is over and over mentioned and shown to be a very stubborn man. #and the little we see of carlo.... it works.... he was in fact kind of a bull-headed little brat. #and everyone knows how much parents with strong personalities ~loooooooove~ when their kids. get it from them. #i'm not ragging on carlo. the basis of personality that is inherited is not the sole defining factor in what a person is like-- #--and what is developed & changed by one's experiences would make them very different people still. #THAT SAID: i do think carlo achieving his little dream of being The Best Stalker In The World WOULD put him at risk of. #going down the same path his dear old man did :^) #there's something about being at the top of your field and what being the unquestioned authority in all that pertains to it can-- #--very easily make one close-minded and set in their ways. it's probably what happened with geppetto. #i mean if my timeline is right he fucked with venigni's grand covenant long before he needed to enact mass murder to resurrect his son. #which to me speaks of him considering only himself as a trustworthy authority for a long time. #the tags in these posts really are the main feature now huh. sorry about that i just like talking here better.👍its like a secret post. #anyway. LOVE YOU DEAD BOY
