can I see an ashi and gigi interaction <//3 look she even has an emote 🌺

KIDDING!!!!!! BUT HI I WANT MORE GIGI CONTENT 🫶 really curious about 🦐🦑🍄 octotrio? this is my attempt at more unagi crumbs BUT!!! I AM GEN CURIOUS ABOUT OCTO INTERACTIONS 🫣 don’t think I’ve seen gigi interact w the other two ssssso 👁️👁️

in a nutshell?

if these three carked it right in front of them, gia would at long last repent and hole up in a nunnery like the good lord intended.

jk. (kinda)

on paper, gia is the octotrio’s personal henchboy as payment for a “favor” floyd does them a little prior/early into the events of book 5. (currently working on a one-shot that goes into this) originally gia’s tenure under the mostro lounge was only meant to be for a few weeks, but it’s made readily apparent once the octotrio finds use in something they are not about to let it slip through their fingers.

so begins the trio's pattern of finding even the smallest infractions on gia’s part as cause to extend their servitude under them. this is, understandably, why there's little love lost between them. i’d say gia prays for the trio’s downfall, but gia isn’t religious and far too proactive to wait around for that to happen.

they’ve made it their personal mission not to leave nrc until octavinelle is burning at their feet.

…

in reality, gia’s relationship with the octotrio is quite complicated.

they’ve been an absolute pain in the neck in every single encounter, but it doesn’t take gia long to realize the octotrio is their speedrun towards getting some REAL power in their hands. proud and hard-working they may be, gia is ultimately a pragmatist at heart.

though a bit of a showman, azul IS an undeniably powerful mage with many a tentacle in many a pie. the twins are nothing to sneeze at either.

as much as gia hates their guts, these three are their chance to make it not only to graduation but to actually make something of themself when staying at night raven is no longer an option.

and that’s not even getting into the growing familiarity between gia and the trio steadily murking the waters…

🦑 AZUL ASHENGROTTO: (tagging @thehollowwriter since you also sent an ask for azul)

perhaps the most subtle dynamic of the three (making it the hardest to explain) gia's view of azul can be largely inferred by their joke-title for him: boss.

if azul wants something done, then gia gets it done. gia proves themself an incredibly adept asset to azul and it's why azul pulls whatever strings he can to keep them under his thumb.

that said, while gia puts up with much of azul's overworking and respects they are indebted to the trio by not putting up much of a fuss-- azul is aware he occasionally has to sweeten the pot if he wants to keep it that way.

he'd be a fool to forget this was the same person who got all his original contracts turned to dust. and besides: what good, gracious employer doesn't reward his employees for their hard work?

so azul doesn't mind giving gia access to a few of his private merchandise channels, maybe even some of his more advanced grimoires and alchemy notes, etc.

this dynamic remains largely unchanged for a while, though if one were to squint they might catch a degree of casualness peppering their interactions over time. they indulge in subtle sniping-- even minor trolling-- namely from gia who finds azul an easy target.

they are not fully aware of how things have changed until @cyanide-latte's chrysanthos shroud makes quite a bitter impression on them both. in a low moment surprising even azul, he admits to gia that shroud makes him feel inadequate as a housewarden-- made worse by the fact azul knows it isn't shroud's intention. shroud, in his own way, truly embodies the spirit of benevolence an octavinelle housewarden should be and it's something azul wonders he'll ever be able to do himself. (you can read more on this in cy's post: here!)

gia, in an attempt to give azul the peace of mind that they won't try to use this moment of weakness against him (and bolstered by the knowledge this could come in as blackmail should he think to use what they're about to tell him), shares a bit of their own worries shroud managed to jar loose.

working for the trio is hard, however, it's also been the path that's given gia the most opportunities. but, with the trio being a year ahead of them, gia is well aware their time with them is limited. they can’t help but mull over what is to become of them when the trio leave for their senior internships. gia will likely never see them again and likely be nothing more than a footnote from the trio’s school lives. a strange, magicless weirdo from another dimension, wasn’t that a fun little story?

gia’s probably going to have a lot of free time as a junior and who knows how they plan to go about senior year, frankly, they’re a bit at a loss with themself…

anyway. if it weren't for azul """kindly""" giving them the chance to gain what they DO have by working for him (or whatever), they'd probably be even more lost than they are now. he's a pain and a half, but he's probably not the worst housewarden in octavinelle history.

at this, azul reminds gia he's made his plans to branch out the mostro lounge to the public quite clear. gia wouldn’t be bound to them anymore, but it'd be a shame to let their experience at the school's location go to waste, wouldn't it?

🍄 - JADE LEECH

gia's relationship with jade is probably the strangest because despite jade being the one that wigs gia out the most, he is also the one gia openly gets along with the best.

fun fact: gia opened up their own club. the biking club. they are the only person in said club because, for some reason or another, they reject anyone who tries to get in. it might have to do with the fact the reason the club exists is because they needed an excuse to have a bike on school grounds they are allowed to ride anywhere unquestioned-- such as for personal errands or scavenging for potion ingredients. this includes up in the mountains.

y'know who else is often in the mountains..?

because of this little coinkidink, jade found a very weak and fevered gia struggling to get off the ground because they'd stupidly decided to go out foraging while sick. and of course, what good, gracious vice-housewarden of octavinelle wouldn't lend a hand to a poor, unfortunate underclassman in need despite their fervent protests? they're obviously, deliriously ill and are unaware of what's best for them…

indebted to jade on top of the octotrio as a whole, gia lost what little personal time they had as president of their own one-man club. now the biking club is (semi-officially) affiliated with his mountain lovers' club-- meaning gia accompanies him whenever he goes and bikes him around trails whenever he feels like it.

in theory, being alone up a mountain with jade leech should be terrifying, but gia sincerely enjoys these outings. jade is not only incredibly well-versed in mountain flora but a skilled potionologist in his own right.

honestly, it’s not bad.

what’s extremely funny is that, at times i used to get overwhelmed with circumstances but then i realize how it’s all a silly little game, an illusion and it’s all “ ”. and realizing you’re the absolute authority whatsoever is so freeing. i could careless, something cannot happen, without me being aware of it. i’d have to say you do need discipline at first as @/vesora mentioned in one her posts called “self discipline” i guess.

the problem is when you think too much? trying to understand it through this seeming human, is ❌

i assure you, you’d go crazy, read posts 199737 times, send asks 🧍🏻‍♀️, and get frustrated.

at times like this, go within.

you’re frustrated? go within

it’s overwhelming? go within

how do i……..? go within

can i ……? go within

GO WITHINNNNNNNNN, all answers you seek are within you. You may not like xyz blogger’s answer, WHY as the absolute authority, you’d go to someone else for an answer? don’t.

as my vice principal told me, there’s no other constant other than you

at the end of the day, all you’ve got is yourself as my mom said.

it’s funny how they told ’yourself’, but i never did think it’s the seeming human me, but something further than that when i was a teen. it’s all crazy, how the hints were there all the time.

“ ” is so so comforting ♥︎

I love u. Can i plz request any of your takes on loser au?

I wnat to do more but life is beating me up, but two things I thought were funny

1. Bran/Dietrich's eagerness to take in a teenage cousin because he's broke, G/ermania having ONE SOLE incident of his kid not behaving and being like get the fuck out of my house (but i made it sadder bc HRE being sick is something i like to see transfer into human Aus with ludwig)

2. During college days: Tolys being a crazy ex and checking Gil's phone when he was sleeping just so he can be a hater on his and Ivan's dramatic teenage breakup texts makes me laugh

I want to really flesh out my b/randenburg, but I need to draw and compile and think so I'll save some ideas for later. Loser AU overview for anyone who wants more.

#hetalia #hws lithuania #hws prussia #hws brandenburg #hws germania #god i need to get my tagging system under control #ANOTHER DAY #also if anyone knows to hide following count on tumblr i will smooch you tenderly bc this account is old and the #count is SUPER inflated but still makes me a tad anxious idk #i hate seeing it on new tumblr against my will all the damn time i want to do maintenance on my blog :) #aph brandenburg #aph germania #aph prussia #aph lithuania

I think some often-overlooked context for gideon's sacrifice at the end of GTN is that, if gideon survives, harrow asked her to return to drearburh.

of course, harrow's plan of I'll-hold-the-lyctor-off-you-and-cam-jump-into-the-sea is dogshit, not going to work etc. of course gideon is a perpetual Good Girl, a butch in shining armor--she's a saint. she's jesus christ. I don’t mean at all to undermine her selflessness, but in her panic i can't help but think the threat of the ninth house made the choice much simpler.

let's go back to the beginning of GTN to the amalgam of everybody's worst hometown:

gideon the ninth, chapter 1

gideon's entire life has been a series of escape attempts. in canaan house her relationship to harrow undergoes a metamorphosis, but behind her is eighteen years of trying--relentlessly--to run from a cold dark place that she is beholden to. (whenever beholden comes up in this series at least 8 alarms go off in my head and i drop whatever i'm holding).

gideon the ninth, chapter 4

I think aiglamene understands drearburh is inherently soul-killing in a way that harrow does not. harrow genuinely loves her house (which, to her, is the Tomb). gideon was never allowed to love the ninth house--it rejected her at every opportunity. harrow, however, threw herself into it wholesale. she had nothing else.

skip to the pool scene. harrow receives absolution and a emotionally charged tender forehead kiss (top 10 lesbian baptisms of all time). they are finally on the same side, out from under drearburh's shadow. they can trust each other. then harrow, with her seventeen years of pining, obsession, and isolation, asks gideon something truly fucking awful:

gideon the ninth, chapter 35

in harrow's mind, the locked tomb (specifically) has served as her reprieve. it is The Thing For Which She Suffers It All, and so it must be good. harrow sees herself as the thing that poisoned gideon, because she IS the ninth house, and she hates herself. I genuinely don't think harrow understands the depth of cruelty in this ask at all. in harrow's mind she is saving gideon and protecting The Body.

and as cytherea bears down on them, harrow reminds her:

gideon the ninth, chapter 37

if harrow sacrifices herself, gideon owes her AND gets abandoned. gideon has to go back and protect the tomb, back to a life she could not bear long before she had ever seen the sea and the sky, before kind-hearted house scions and princesses with swords. the chains would be slapped on. gideon would not get out twice. not even in a box.

gideon can die neatly and heroically, like a protagonist in a comic book—she can save harrow, save camilla, get vengeance for lost friends, carry out the last wish of jeanmarry and isaac, who she so badly let down—or she can live and return to drearburh.

gideon the ninth, chapter 37

gideon the ninth, chapter 37 (final line before the epilogue in harrow's POV).

of course she chooses the fence.

#the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #gideon the ninth spoilers #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus #tlt meta #signed a lesbian from a small dark town full of old people who was very afraid of dying there #i love you gideon nav #i love you harrow #your deepest issues are so fundamentally at odds with each other and the conflict that creates #is so compelling like what the fuck #if u can believe it i actually exercised restraint not adding 8 more text screenshots #especially from harrow the ninth #maybe ill ctrl-f the word beholden and toss them into a compilation post so i can look at it and weep #another day

should I worry that you are “reminding” us of the ingrained in my mind Sabo comic?

Just a friendly question, I want to know if I have to prepare for something.

Nope!

I was just lookin at the comic again and reading the tags and i was thinkin that “hm. Lemme reblog this cuz im real proud of this comic :)”

Why, do you want me to continue it? I actually had a lot more planned but then the depressive episode i was in while writing it ended and i was like “lemme just get this man a hug and close it out there :)”

Let me know ❤️

Actually i might not pick it up anyway cuz i really need to be in a State Of Mind to make that kind of stuff, but who knows what the future has in store for me :)

Thanks for the ask!

Thanks to you, I relistened to Deep Deep Feeling last night and you are So Correct, I have no idea why anyone ever complains about Paul just Doing Stuff for twenty minutes or whatever and putting it on an album. Like, maybe if the stuff in question wasn't cool or catchy, but the man's a melody factory that operates 24/7. Let him make his little noises and share them with us!!

Anyway, this gave me flashbacks to how completely unappreciated Rinse the Raindrops was back in '01. Why are people so consistently wrong about Paul McCartney

Yay!

I think it’s partly his face. He looks soft and genial, and people think that means there’s no depth to him. They are W.R.O.N.G. The man is all swirling chasms. Yes he loves to write silly love songs (that are extremely catchy and danceable) but he also writes about women who find it hard to stay alive. He has expressed things in music that there aren’t words for.

Donovan once said Paul could trip and fall on a piano and a tune would come out. But the age of shallow cynicism we live in doesn’t make it easy to be open to an artist like Paul. A pretty face, a pretty tune, let’s all assume it’s garbage!

Are there some clunkers in his work? Sure. But it’s hard to get his fans to agree which ones they are. So maybe my clunkers are just not for me?

Aren’t we the lucky ones who have access to his vast and varied catalogue and know what treasures are there!

#i’m so glad i inspired you to go back to #deep deep feeling #try #another day #next #i think it might be his masterpiece #thanks for the ask! #royalyisshe64 ask
