She was listening with sparkling eyes to everything he said; and, in finding him irresistible, becoming so herself.
Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey (1817)

I mean, Ruby literally had a panic attack and was almost killed by the Jabberwalker and just as Yang was about to ask if she was okay they got distracted by Jaune and completely brushed what happened to her aside, again.
She had a panic attack mid battle, which as a huntress is literally life threatening. And they didn't have the time to address that. It's not anyone's fault of course. There's a lot of stuff happening. But.
Ruby's anger is justified. Her team is not to blame. It's so complicated and spicy like dayum I cannot wait for the next ep.

do you think Dazai would just call Chuuya "angel" in his mind or whatever, and then call tiny!chuu "cherub"(not based off the the biblical ones, but the baby ones with chubby cheeks and stuff from those church murals) so he doesn't get confused or smt? please i need to know someone elses opinion before i self combust
While I do enjoy the thought of Dazai making up small equivalent of Chuuya pet/nicknames for Tiny Chuuya very much, I don't like it when Chuuya is called anything relating to godhood :[ My boy spent so much time angsting about his origins and was convinced for so long he was nothing but a container for a fake "god" that couldn't truly be called human. I don't want to even remotely allude to that when trying to be cute. "Angel" specifically is also a loaded word in the context of bsd (many characters were placed on an unwanted pedestal through being nicknamed or compared to an angel) so I personally wouldn't throw that one around carelessly with any pairing.
Tiny Chuuya nickname suggestions: (the) slugling, (the) dust bunny, Chuu-chan (condescending)

ngl I really like the idea of ascended Astarion saying 'I love you' and it always sounds like he doesn't quite mean it. but not because he doesn't love his consort, he does, it's just that he considers love to be too small a word to describe the depth of his emotion so saying this thing he knows his consort wants to hear (because it's everyone's favorite) feels like a lie. like he's diminishing the importance of them, somehow.
but you're supposed to tell your partner you love them, and those are the only words he has, so he uses them because how is he supposed to say love pales in comparison to what he feels? he tries to show the true depth of his feelings in other ways, of course, with actions and protection and gifts, but he can never figure out how to express it with words because he doesn't think there are words that accurately cover how he feels.
because how is he, after 200 years of being a vampire and suddenly having the width and depth of mortal emotion and experience thrust upon him, supposed to adequately express something like love and not have it feel like it's too little? everyone is saying 'I love you' to someone, surely they can't all be feeling it the same depth and passion he is, after all. so he thinks love is too small a word, but he says it anyways because it's all he has.

spy whumpee is discovered, and the enraged and betrayed people they were spying on take all their anger out on them, beating them bloody until they're practically holding onto life by a thread, then tossing them in a cell and leaving them for interrogation, if they don't die from their injuries first.
whumpee's squad back home begins to get concerned after whumpee doesn't give them their daily update. they send whumpee a message of their own... and get nothing back.
concern turning to genuine worry and fear for their friend, leader sends caretaker and two other teammates to go find whumpee, and bring them back if needed.
when whumpee wakes up again, they're laying in a military hospital. they feel like they've been run over by a semi-truck, but they turn their head to see their hand intertwined with caretaker's, who had fallen asleep in a chair at their side, and the deepest relief they've ever felt washes over them as they realize they're safe.
