just going on and on about how tyril's arc if ur romancing him now that mc has been gone for a year. more under the cut and in the tags!

When i tell you there NEEDS to be so much ANGST AND PINING. I love Tyril so much and I miss him so much but when I tell you want this story to go INTO DETAIL ABOUT HOW MUCH HE HAS YEARNED FOR MC. I want there to be PAIN and SUFFERING!!!!!!

He has been learning all about the realms from the best tutors in Undermount ever since he could remember so is he scouring libraries all over the land to find something???? Anything????? To find his beloved mc????

I believe that this bow was used by mc (if you had the diamonds for it) and WHAT IF HE KEPT IT AS A WAY TO REMIND HIM OF MC AND HOW HE SHOULD NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR THEM AND FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN.

Does he think about mc and how they made him feel? Does the pain of losing them keep him up at night? Does he think about how unfair it is that first he lost his best friend, Kaya, was banished from Undermount, saw an evil elf take her place and body and the person that helped him seek justice for her, the love of his life, was taken as well? Does he think about how their kindness and heroism was only repaid by constant peril??? Does he think about they were supposed to return to Undermount together but he returned only to search for answers on how to get them back????? Does Adrina and his father have to check on him and how he's doing because they know he's neglecting himself to find answers for finding mc???? Does he cry to the Gods about how he hopes they look down on him with pity and mercy for them to be safe and alive to come back to him????????????? ESPECIALLY IF YOUR MC IS AN ELF - DOES HE MOURN HOW MC WAS SO EXCITED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR OWN PEOPLE AFTER NEVER BEING SURROUNDED BY THEM THEIR ENTIRE LIFE AND NOW HE THINKS THEY WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE???????!!!!!!?????? DOES HE DOES HE-

#do u really love a ship if u dont want them to go into detail about how tortured one/both of them were when they are apart of each other???? #FRIDAY CANT COME SOON ENOUGH #side note - does anyone think its weird that he was given a bow and arrow for the cover instead of his magic????? #'cause hes you know - THE MAGE?????? #does this mean we are going to see him in a more archer role??? #not that im complaining #but I want to see more of his magic again :(((( #onto his new look - IT GREW ON ME IM SORRY #tyrils half bun my beloved #i never really noticed how long his ears are before now but theyre so cute :(( #ARMS ARMS ARMS #and the armor is lowkey pretty cool dont @ me tho #blades of light and shadow #play choices #tyril starfury #tyril starfury x mc #mal volari #imtura tal kaelen #nia ellarious

as a sicko who exclusively watches the nuggets and has seen this exact same game play out before, a good rule of thumb is to save your anxiety for the 2nd half

they're not invincible, obviously, and i still want to vomit when a game goes down to the wire like this, but 🤷🏻‍♀️

#sometimes they really just like to play with their food (the lakers) #i wish they wouldn't tho #its a bad habit and its mean and it gives me indigestion #they got lucky mal bailed them out when he was having a pretty mid game before that #we need jeff green back to tell these boys not to play with the game

[watatsumi-island]

Seeing this tag blow up again really hits different

#blades of light and shadow #We were TRENDING again I mean #Wow #It makes me so upset because if PB just tried harder with their books this would be a regular thing and!! :(( agh it's so disheartening #playchoices #choices #pixelberry #tyril starfury #mal volari #nia ellarious #imtura tal kaelen #aerin valleros #threep #loola #kade of riverbend #lauren moments 😛

#customer service #it's not like i've been ignoring sebek i'm actually really invested in him #he's such an interesting character but mal and silver's force of attraction are just too strong for me to ignore #i've read all his vignettes and voice lines and i honestly wanna befriend him even though i know i'd have to shove tissues down his throat #it's him vs me when it comes to mal let's be fr #ANYWAYS YEAH HE'S HANDSOME EVER SINCE #when i said i like the whole diasomnia i mean it #rook and vil needs to look AWAY i'm loyal promise ✋🏻✋🏻 #it's just i like men in royalty okay #and knights are hot to me #so #yeah #hehe sebek #scouting all the sebek fics in ao3 as we speak #and zgvlt's TAKES the cake

revenge of the island where everything’s the same except scott chooses to vote out zoey instead of mike to gain the upper hand or smth 

the catch is that previously-dormant-since-leaving-juvie mal ends up fronting after, similar to how zoey invoked commando zoey, bc he’s the Protector of the system--or maybe he and mike end up co-hosting??? and it turns into a push-pull thing between them and scott bc mike and scott are already dealing with their issues; meanwhile mal’s as morally gray as the next person and although he’s royally ticked off at scott for messing with mike and threatening the system, he also can’t help but be impressed at how utterly slippery scott is--and ofc tries to exploit that slipperiness and use it against scott. while scott’s sorta confused bc ‘okay this guy isn’t svetlana or chester or manitoba or vito, so who is he??’ but also he’s like ‘wow a worthy opponent?? hell yeah!’ and there’s def some underlying tension reaching its peak that gets cut off when scott gets eliminated following canon events (so mike gets eliminated like zoey was btw) bc duh they’re both trying to beat each other for (mostly) different reasons and with questionable morales within a show where everyone’s pitted against each other, ofc there’s gonna be a tension plus mal kinda doesn’t like scott for what he did lmao (v understandable and valid)

and then they meet again in all-stars and that tension rekindles...among other things :)

somewhere along the way (maybe in a snippet of a scene before scott’s elimination or during all-stars or in the span of time between their eliminations and roti’s finale) scott does the equivalent of apologizing for threatening the system, mainly bc mal would have thrown him without ado straight into fang’s jaws if he didn’t own up to it, but also after being in mal’s (and mike’s) presence for as long as he was, scott genuinely starts to feel bad--not for kicking out all those ppl prior, including zoey, but of how he went abt hurting mike and the rest of the system--mal was just that push he needed to own up to his misdeed. anyway after that, mal doesn’t want to forgive or see scott in a more ‘positive’ light after that happens, but this time mike, the more forgiving one out of them all, is the one being the push to get the alters to try to forgive scott, and after that, as they say, it’s history :D

no but, the urge to write this as a oneshot-type fic set during revenge of the island that acts as a “prologue” for the next multichaptered fic set during all-stars-

it’d give an excuse to portray scott as the villain he deserves to be in all-stars while also warring with his emotions bc I can bet that homeboy has never had a crush, fell in love, or dated anyone before. (plus hopefully I can write mike’s system (namely mal) in a better way than fresh did, and I can touch upon his past--like how he ended up in juvie--and his relations with other characters, like duncan and zoey and cam.) 

swear I’ll elaborate more on this when I don’t have a project due within a day and when I’m not in a motivation slump lmfao

#total drama #td mike #td scott #td mal #total drama revenge of the island #total drama all stars #wow i finally have a potential roti fic idea?? even if its just a oneshot?? #i just think it's funny to join manitoba (who licks dirt) with scott (who eats dirt) #and all of a sudden i involve the rest of the system too lmfao #plus i've seen a couple of mike & scott + mal & scott content which has been interesting to say the least #so voila--here we are! #i hope i didn't mess up any of the did terms or the way i described them #if so im truly so so sorry that wasn't my intention and pls lmk which ones i did so i can correct them #the main reason im so hesitant on writing roti and all-stars fics is bc of possibly portraying mike's system not so greatly #i mean i know ppl with did and they've advised me on how to write characters with did #but i guess its just a constant worry that i'll fuck it up somehow lmao #anyway #and no there's no bully & victim relationship here ew #whatever scott and mike (plus his alters) have only start to grow and be acknowledged on mike's end after the apology #mal takes the longest to warm up to scott but ironically he's also the one to be protective after the apology #like fang's around? no sweat i'll punch his lights out like vito did dw #there's so much i wanna say but i'm not gonna rn bc i unfortunately have work to do #kit speaks #noahtally-famous #kit stuff #as for scott he's emotionally constipated he doesn't know how and what he's feeling lmao

‘safe journey moi soverenyi’ ‘am i your servant?’ ‘does she take all her servants to bed?’ ‘i’m not meant to be anything at all’ ‘i won’t fail you again’ ‘if i can’t be anything else to you, at least i can be a weapon in your hand’ ‘i’m not afraid to die’ ‘you were meant for more than me and i’ll die fighting to give it to you’ ‘this is all i have to offer’ ‘i’ll stay by your side as long as you let me’

[ohifonlyx33]

i just think kdrama watchers are probably best equipped to understand the type of character Malyen Oretsev was written to be in the books. send tweet

#malyen oretsev #mal oretsev #malina #should have been written as a kdrama #he is the BFF Male Lead who can't find the right way to declare to his BFF Female Lead while she's on her own journey of discovery #he finds out she's being manipulated by this jerk and gets jealous but knows he can't do anything to stop her #they have a little argument and she gets upset and he gets upset but they just need to take a little time to cool down #And then I can see it... the reconciliation is sweet and sincere... something that seems casual but is deeply meaningful to them #I can see it right now... a situation that could almost be read as romantic or played off as friendly... #we hear Alina voice her thoughts during the scene about how her heart flutters despite having no hope that Mal means to confess love #“It is moments like this that make me wonder what it would be like... but if all we are is friends i will be grateful just to know you” #CUT TO THE AFTER SCENE... Mal has spent three days planning this 30 second moment just to make Alina smile #his hands are shaking and his heart is beating fast and he's watching her intensely but SHE DOESN'T SEE. #and his internal monologue is like “should i tell her? but how? no.... it is impossible to find words to describe what the universe means” #“and i am but a speck in her universe” #and then we learn about their childhood friendship and the thread of destiny that bound them together #and i- AHHHH

[lady-a-stuff]

Alina is always saying that Mal could thrive on anywhere, that he always fit wherever he is and she is the one who never fit, never belonged, but in Siege and Storm he is the one who doesn't fit.

Mal is struggling, he is dislocated, he doesn't know how to deal with this, his only purpose is Alina, and she, his best friend, doesn't seem to care or to notice, but he keeps doing everything he can to help her there (going to parties with nobles and high-ranking members of the 1st army and trying make her likable for them to support her, staying away so the gossip don't affect her and her reputation) and the first time they talk about what he is feeling and they try to reconnect she flinches and because she also doesn't talk about her feelings he get it all wrong I mean it is difficult to talk and be honest? He only went to Os Alta because of her, he's miserable there, he dropped everything for her and he thinks she doesn't want him, she doesn't need him, he's lost (what he is doing there then if he's not wanted or needed?). All this added to all shit he had suffered before, so I just think he deserves more comprehension 😔

#i mean he deserves a hug #and some therapy but it's too much ask for this in a fantasy world #but he needed some comprehension and Alina is struggling too at that point and she can't be that #but we can't blame him for wanting her to notice his struggles #he's also just a teenager #who is lost #mal oretsev #i'm a mal oretsev apologist #but I don't think he has anything to apologize for #I will always defend Mal oretsev #just me reading #shadow and bone

[glitter50000]

I could talk of Luda dying unjustly thus breaking the final straw causing Aleksander to create the Fold vs Mal dying willingly in order to help Alina destroy the Fold

#i dunno i dunno #I’m just thinking of them again and the self indulgent part of me wonders what it would be like if they met like maybe after Mal died idk #There’s differences between the two obviously but they share that common ground of our lovers are powerful as fuck but we love them anyway #I dunno it’s the cruel irony in Luda looking for ways to live longer with him but then dying before she really could #and Mal CHOOSING death despite wanting to live with Alina for the rest of his days if it means he can help her #Idk I should sleep #shadow and bone netflix #shadow and bone season 2 #mal oretsev #luda shadow and bone #malina #alina x mal #lusander #darkling x luda

I love wjh so much. Its like All I Think About very few things are capable of consuming me for this long (i think ive already had wjh last longer to me than Actual Canon Amphibia)

But as much as i love wjh, i love all the people ive been able to meet through it even more. Its so crazy to think that so many tiny decisions led up to this point and any number of them could just have easily gone another way. Im so glad i met and can talk to you and to Mal and to all the guys on the server and to len who id dint meet thru it but we can talk about it and make jokes and they met all the people i met too and just. Man i love all u guys so much fr fr

#i didnt almost start crying when i got this What do u mean #i love u bestieee sm #see at least u get the excuse of it being late at night it is. 5pm for me #i love talking to u sm bestie #when we talk thru asks and play minecraft and send eachother pictures and drawings and #i have so many emotions in my body and i dont have the words to get them out #imagime im squeezing u in a big tight hug (filled with autism also ofc) #hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (full of love) #im that little kitten labeled full of milk bit it says full of love for its friends #OH THATS THE OTHER ONE #i accredit it to strength because its funny and prob partially true. but i also think u and mal r the reason i realised i like it/its #id never met anyone who used those pronouns and then suddenly i knew two and it was like. woaw that vibes #and now here we are. so thanks besties <<<33333 #Tree Man Posts #asks #wjh #sentimentality #sentimental hour with duck!

my fire opal converse arrived i’m screaming

#/hyperbole but the color is so perfect #i spent around twenty seconds screaming in a bad way because of how friggin white they are it scares me #like i don’t want to ruin them. i have owned two pairs of not-hand-me-down sneakers in my life and this is one of them #and so then i felt like a terrible person for doing purchases and wanting things and not just sticking with my old hand me down red converse #which are too small for me now and literally stained with blood. and also mud but the blood is the problem part #anyway mal blum voice oh my god look at all the stuff you got does it make your loneliness more bearable #but genuinely it kind of does. they’re my exact color it’s ridiculous guys. like it’s the color of my walls exactly #and they will make me taller so i can actually see at concerts and in the school hallway. and i’ll keep them forever #(this was an early christmas present from me to myself i put a bunch of tip money on my debit card and bought myself the shoes i’ve wanted) #they are custom because the color doesn’t come in regular converse you have to get a custom fall colors pair so i did #and so they’re lift platforms with a gold star logo patch and stripey gold and white laces it’s really cool #anyway they were supposed to arrive in time for the happy fits concert and they didn’t. but the concert didnt even happen for me so whatever #good news!!!! daisy the great is coming back this april on their first headlining tour it’s gonna be so cool #no news on the happy fits and i really want to see them and also meet them but they did say something about how they can’t wait to be back #so i hope that comes sooner rather than later and that i’m still minneapolis-adjacent enough to go #or i guess i might have to go to a show in chicago!! we grow and change with the times #anyway i’m kind of disjointed cause i woke up recently and also have been in an anxious spiral for like a week but we’re managing great #playing sudoku and being parented by my dad which means: sitting alone in my room with the door closed for hours on end #so i’m here if anybody needs me!! usually dad parenting comes with caring for my sister but she has gymnastics today so i’m like. here #anyway yeah i have these bright red-orange converse with gold on them and i’m gonna cry #i’ll post a picture soon if i’m feeling up to it they’re really exciting like almost enough to fix me #like it’s literally my color. it’s the color that i am. i’m going slightly insane about this (is insane already) #and i painted my electric guitar with nail polish so now the tuning pegs are sparkly red and it’s just a good time for the arthur community #period-induced paranoia that i thought i was done with put aside. and general anxiety put aside. the arthur community is doing great #do y’all remember mononokay by sorority noise? the arthurcore song? it still is. i’m listening to it rn and it still is #anyway idk what to say. i’m here and things are weird but i’m going back to school on monday and it won’t be as weird anymore. i hope #and i cleaned my room like actually deep cleaned it and it’s fixed now. my room is actually good now. how did that happen #anyway i want to go home but i am home. i should also eat breakfast. yeah. so i will do that now. yep #me. my post. mine. #friends only

dante forgot to add one more circle of hell for people who make up clickbait about a firefly reboot I KEEP FUCKING SEEING THESE ARTICLES and I just sit there like. who in their right mind would go "let's make firefly 2"

#i guess serenity is sort of firefly 2 but whatever you get my point #like idc. just bc the mouse supposedly has the rights that doesn't mean they'll do it #also so much of it would not fly (no pun intended). hell there's stuff that didn't fly in 2005 thats still in it #like every time i rewatch it i don't understand how people can like mal so much when he's such an asshat to inara every five minutes #and yet the parts where hes likeable im like aw fuck i dont want to like this guy #for instance every time i see the bit in e1 where book doesnt get the 'joke' and mal just goes “sHeS a wHoRe” i die on the inside #i dont understand how people ship them did we watch the same show #i guess the idea is maybe “oh hes jealous shes not sleeping with *him* instead and thats why he acts like that” but thats not cute #thats just gross #this isnt even the biggest issue likely but its the one that makes me wanna scream
