#and he did. successfully

[lab-gr0wn-lambs]

To be honest the dialogue in twd is absolute ass sometimes but the actors deliver their lines with so much conviction that it kinda slips by. You yell that convoluted sentence with your whole cunt, girl.

#this post was sitting in my drafts for months but a line from Fear made me remember it again #''I will do what you tried to do to me only I won't miss'' #translation: I will succeed where you failed but I won't fail #yeah bitch the floor here is made of floor #also for context nobody ''missed''. The thing he tried to do was shove him into a room full of walkers #and he did. successfully #he just somehow didn't fucking die or get a single scratch on him #this show is getting way more entertaining as it goes along but it's still stupid #also thinking bout ''we are the walking dead'' ''no we aint'' ''no you're right we aint'' #thanks for shitting on Rick's metaphor dude. that was almost poignant. #and ''we got one enemy. we aint the walking dead'' ok slay I guess those two statements were related. vaguely. I think. #sorry kinda roasting Daryl specifically here. He's not the worst offender these are the only lines I can think of off the top of my head rn #also a LOT of the dialogue is interchangable between characters. #Daryl's ''Jimmy'' story in his spinoff was just a Negan monologue. hell Rick could even have told it. #they would have said it differently but again that's down to the actors. #all of this is light hearted ofc #I mean all that really matter is I'm Having A Good Time #twd #ftwd

favourite thing: his new habit of saying uhuh/mhm and also this

#the first time he did it in unmortricken i was like Fuck Yes and little did i know he would just keep doing it the whole time #DESPERATELY hoping they keep both of these things. i Love when characters have tiny little habits sprinkled in their actions #to me these things kinda sorta symbolise him no longer being afraid to really be himself #like he no longer has to hide certain things about himself that inside of the cfc wouldve made him appear ‘suspicious’ #since he IS like so much different than any other morty ever #also barely related but like. em is fundamentally such a good character bc everytime we see him he’s feeling something different #in his first appearance he was cold and distant because at the time he was new to being free and was strictly focused on his goal and wasn’ #even sure if it would work #in his second appearance he seemed hopeful and honest both of these things just being a trap to get the people of the citadel to trust him #and his old colder self unfurling near the end after he successfully becomes president #in his third appearance he seems giddy almost. he’s constantly giggling before and after sentences and he’s super eager to just Get The Hel #Out. and also to reveal the truth to morty prime. make it so that he doesn’t have to be the one to shoulder everything anymore. #and this fourth appearance. apart from a few little details he really just seems happy and comfortable. the entire episode he was just doin #whatever he wanted and nobody got in his way at all. and i could not be happier #normal about this character! #rick and morty #evil morty #rick and morty spoilers #odiespeak

Zuko, banished, no crew, no uncle, no quest for the avatar. Says "fuck this" aka, if I can get back to caldera maybe I can convince my dad to take me back. Horribly wounded thirteen year old finds dragons, starts a civil war by accident

Zuko didn’t think he was still delirious. The Sun Warrior’s healer hadn’t wanted him to leave yet, but—

But he’s standing here, back in the throne room, and the room is set up again for another war meeting so maybe he should have waited before coming in. But the guards hadn’t even asked him—or anyone inside—before they’d thrown the double doors open, so. He’d thought father wasn’t busy.

The general he thought he was going to fight at the Agni Kai is here, and so are all the others, even uncle. And father, at the head of the table, standing.

Father is the only one standing. Everyone else is... They’re kneeling. 

When he’d come back to the palace, the servants in the courtyard he’d landed in had hurried to open the doors for him, all the way here. And the guards had let him in. And now the whole room is kneeling except for father who—

He doesn’t look like he did on the Agni Kai field. Father had been… he’d been so calm, then. He’d been doing what he had to do, to instruct Zuko, to correct him. 

Now he just looks angry. 

So. So Zuko is screwing this up, too. He practiced his speech the whole way home, it was a good speech, he’d based it on the one the Stone Prince made to his father the Mountain Emperor when he’d come home to beg forgiveness, bringing the treasures of the Ice Spirit with him as tribute. But Zuko doesn’t remember how he was going to start. And the flames behind father are getting higher, and hotter, and Zuko is okay now with flames that flicker with purples and golds and greens, but red flame is—

It’s so hot against his face—

“Father,” he croaks. “Father, I’ve returned. With dragons.” 

He is so, so stupid. Ran and Shaw have flanked him from the courtyard, have wound through hallways paralleling his path, are snaking between the pillars of the room until coils of red and blue dwarf everything here. Ran breathes her own flames out, and the fires before the throne shift from Ozai’s reds to the shimmering rainbow-sparks of dragonfire.

“A sign from Agni,” Uncle Iroh says. He’s bowed like the rest, but Zuko can see his eyes, and there’s the same glimmer there that father and Azula get before they do something Zuko should have seen coming.

“You dare,” father says, and Zuko isn’t sure if it’s him or uncle he’s talking to. But when he takes a step forward it’s towards Zuko and when he raises a fist it’s towards Zuko and when he makes the fire it’s towards Zuko and—

(And Zuko cowered the first time the dragons tried to show him their flames. It was all around him, swirling, and he hit his knees and shoved his face against his arms because he’d learned better than to look up. 

The fire stopped, and a whiskered nose nudged him, and then there was a huge scaly coil loosely wound around him until he was done crying, so at least the Sun Warriors below hadn’t seen how pathetic he was.

After that, it was… they made it a game. Little puffs of flames, the kind of sparks he used to make to keep Azula from getting fussy in her crib, until she was old enough to climb out and go exploring with him instead. 

He flinched at first, a lot, but they didn’t hurt. Didn’t even hit him. And then it really was a game, where he would spin their colors in with his own flames, and send them back, and they’d keep playing as the flames got bigger and bigger but somehow they never got scary again. 

When he’d stopped flinching at all, when he wasn’t a coward around his own element, he knew he was ready to return home. Grandfather had once welcomed uncle home with honors for killing dragons. So father would accept his apologies if he brought home two live dragons, right? Making friends with dragons had to be harder than killing them.)

Father’s flames were… they were just red. Zuko didn’t realize what he was doing until the war ministers were gasping. By then he was already spinning father’s flames with his own, mixing in all the colors father’s had lacked, and.

And sending them back.

(Batting fire around with dragons had not given Zuko a realistic grasp on the heat tolerance of the average abusive father.)

Uncle was not the first to bow, when Zuko had first entered. This time, he is.

“Fire Lord Zuko,” he says.

The war ministers are not prepared to countermand the Dragon of the West. Or literal dragons. They never left their knees, and they don’t start now. Foreheads touch the ground.

Zuko… Fire Lord Zuko’s first order is to take his father to the healers. He’ll let him stay there, longer than Ozai let Zuko.

(You can read this and other prompts at AO3. And longer stories, too. <3)

#his second order of business is to let Azula ride a dragon #because he is not interested in assassination attempts #and he did bring back TWO dragons #Azula: hmm. I get to be the crown princess AND have a dragon? #you’ve successfully one-upped father’s offer #continue to do so Zuzu #and we won’t have any problems #Avatar The Last Airbender #atla #Zuko #Ozai #Dragons #Ran and Shaw #ficlet #Hello Dragons Here

Actually, while I was complaining about bad writing, Childe low-key saved the world. He bought Neuvilette and the Traveler enough time to figure out the whole shtick with the prophecy and the primordial sea.

(since, you know. narwhal accidentally the whole soup and was planning to depart and Teyvat can't keep existing without soup)

And no one talks about it.

#we talk about how epic that was #and about saving fontaine #but it wasn't just fontaine #I was thinking about harbingers' love to delusion transition and once again thought about what prompted him to change like that #what did he see #childe #tartaglia #childe's trauma whale #52hz #the best thing is that saving the world looked like an epic failure on his part #I was talking so much about the moment when he would fail a task successfully #and then completely overlooked it when it happened #ok this is actually some decent storytelling #I like how no one even thanked him

you know what I take it back there’s actually nothing funnier than imagining asmodeus planning and implementing this intense, homoerotically charged honeypot, only to immediately get son-zoned by zerxus

Asmodeus: Ohhh I’m so vulnerable 😥 🆘 and hurt….. 🥺🤕 I sure could use a big, strong 💪🏋️‍♂️ paladin to bandage 🩹❤️‍🩹 my wounds….. sowwy 😿 I look like your dead husband 🪦😵 and also the most beautiful 😍✨ man you’ve ever met…. I can’t help it…. 😔🫣 You’re just so special 😳 …. I’ve never met a mortal quite like you before…..😏🤭

Zerxus: this is great. I’m gonna get a good grade in dad, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

i remember seeing this post used with elaida being raised amyrlin by the sitters, but it is also very much taim being appointed head of the black tower by rand

#well i guess taim does have relevant skills so he did successfully pass 1 interview question #mazrim taim #rand al'thor #wot #wot book spoilers #the wheel of time #it's honestly comedic how taim shows up and is like 'hey i'm the worst guy ever' #and rand's like 'wow this is the worst guy ever. giving him full control over the assembly of the most dangerous people on the continent.'

I had a dream last night that me and Docm77 were trapped in a warzone and he tackled me to the ground to save me from gunfire and then together we took out like ten guys.

I'm sure this says something about my psyche and that something is that if I ever met Docm77 in real life I think we would commit war crimes.

#spazzcat barks #docm77 #i.... dont know where the dream came from #maybe ive been?? reading too much Iliad lately??? i dont know???? #anyway thank you docm77 from saving me from being dream murdered by a bunch of guys with machine guns and rifles #we were definitely on the wrong side of the warfront we shouldnt have gotten seperated from the main body of reinforcements like that #he did jumpscare me though he was standing quiet and still as a statue #im guessing because he was hoping we wouldnt be spotted #and when we were he tackled me in a very Foxy from FNAF style jumpscare #also i blame his freaky redstone eye for us not successfully hiding that thing glows in the dark man youve gotta do something about that #anyway welcome back to: every time i sleep for more than 5 hours a night i have #violent dreams and nightmares that both god and man wish they could study under a microscope

steve would pull all his usual moves with eddie, but eddie (either obliviously or intentionally) doesn't pick up on them. what i mean is, steve does that thing like 'there's something in your hair, let me-" and he reaches out to tenderly remove the Thing and then maybe brush eddie's hair behind his ear, but before he can get his hand up eddie is already shaking his head like a wet dog to get the Thing out of his hair, whipping both steve and himself with his hair in the process and he's like 'is it gone?' and steve's like, hand-mid air, absolutely perplexed but deep down, unsurprised, 'yeah. yeah, you got it'

#stranger things #steddie #i had this in my fic notes but decided to throw it out here #also i think if steve ever did that move again he would learn from this time #and after eddie's done being silly steve would fix eddie's hair for him (since it's now a tangled mess) #which would make eddie red in the face immediately #plan failed successfully
