I love Malcolm Hawke's first dialogue in Legacy (the one you get if you unbind the shade kept trapped by two seals in a little cell). clearly this whole business was the darkest shittiest time of his life and he's selling his soul and betraying every single one of his principles and everything, but he sounds so endearingly... snippy and exasperated about the wardens using demons willy nilly. the "listen I know I'm up to some shady stuff here and everything but let it not be said I was untidy. I'm fixing your shit as far as I'm able here. you will not be able to pin this one on me. these demons were here before I arrived, this is on the record now" energy. the way he's taking time out of his day to be responsible and enforce mage OSHA regulations in the middle of maybe the most hilariously irresponsible thing anyone's ever done after the magisters tried to break into the golden city. exquisite. the real Hawke family curse is having to specify that actually not all of the catastrophe was your fault okay this is at least like... 30% not on me this time. I. I tried. everything was on fire and I had a children's toy bucket and a bottle of rum on hand

And what if I said Regulus wasn’t in Sirius’ shadow?
THE most NOBLE and ANCIENT House of Black would NOT allow their children to feel beneath someone, even someone in their own family.
Sirius’ arrogance is a MAJOR part of Harry Potter as a whole, so Regulus being the canonical golden child that he was would not feel inadequate to him in any way shape or form.
The only one I’ll let this fandom get away with making insecure is Andromeda and even then, this fandom doesn’t even care enough about her to do that, instead they decide to give that to Regulus and Sirius. Yay.
This fandom exhausts me terribly.

Let me reiterate on my thoughts on Wild Blue Yonder:
This had be fucked up on the same level as Blink. And yes I’m not a horror fan, at ALL!
But the slow psychological terror this gave me…omfg!
Once again SPOILERS!
The scene where they do their work Donna in one room and Ten (he’s always ten for me leave me alone) in the other.
Do you think I clocked that they weren’t there together?
NO THE FUCK I WAS NOT!!!!!
But it crept in slowly! The questions, the was they looked. And then I realised it just before them. Which honestly BRILLIANT WRITING Russel! Brilliant!
And then them being separated. How they both managed to out think the…monsters. The four of them at once.
The FUCKING VAMPIRE LAW THE HELL?!
And once again Donna, left behind giving up but still not BELIEVING in it…
Tens little for head kiss when they huddled together afterwards.
This was such a brilliant episode!

Vierna asking Astarion about being with Halsin. Retelling of the game scene and two idiots being sweet.
Priority
'You... Don't ask for it, because we didn't... Do it for a while, don't you?' Astarion tried to hide how scared and worried he was. Vierna was the first person that didn't use him, and the thought of them looking at the others, because he couldn't satisfy their needs... Of loosing them... It was terrifying. Vierna widened their eyes in shock, as if they couldn't fanthom why he's asking this question.
'What? No! Gods damn me if I do! Astarion... My sweet little star... My love... I'm happy with you, sex or no sex. I'm perfectly happy with you as it is...' They picked his hand and softly kissed vampire's knuckles. Worry was written all over their face.
'You are perfect the way you are. You ARE enough. I don't need sex. That's not why I'm asking you if I can start a relationship with Halsin. Look at me, Astarion.' Vierna asked softly and smiled to the vampire.
'Then... Alright. Have fun,' he smiled. Vierna sighted. They felt like their lover just tried to please them.
'I won't. Not until you accept that YOU are my priority. I love you, Astarion. YOU are the most important person to me. I'm just... It's hard to explain... I love Halsin too. It's not about sex and if you want me to be just yours then I'll tell him that. Be selfish, my sweetest star. Because you are the one who I love the most. Let's talk about this later. When you take in everything I just told you.' Vierna kissed again knuckles of the stunned vampire.
That was... A lot. A lot a lot. A priority? He? And his lover won't be displeased if he tells them that he doesn't wants them to start a relationship with the druid? That felt... So strange. So safe. But something was bugging him. He... Liked Halsin too. At least he thought so. The druid was warm, wise and caring. And if it would turn out that vampire isn't comfortable with the arragement... Vierna told they would choose him. And he knew they were honest. They had to.
So when the drow sneaked intro his tent to cuddle during trance as usual, Astarion had the answer ready.
'You should go meet with Halsin. Have your fun! It was foolish of me to doubt you, with that golden heart of yours and all.' He exclaimed as the drow started to snuggle into his chest. Vierna scoffed at the 'heart of gold', but didn't aswered right away, enjoying the smell of vampire's perfume before smiling and saying:
'Then I'll give him answer tomorrow. Thank you, my star...'
'You are very welcome. But why not go now?'
'Because I don't want to leave your side, of course. Silly surfacer.'

My headcanons for the named trio in The Cursing of Chateau Castle series:
Josephandre is a big bear. It just fits for him I think! He gets he/him pronouns, and as a way to make him a liiiil more relatable for Mira, he'd have two craft types (Rock type being his main one and paper craft for the other). Battle style wise, I think it fits him to be more of a self-sustaining tank. He buffs defense, heals, and puts up shields. For his weapon, he'd use his fists like Isabeau. He'll be the second fastest in the trio.
Lady Irene-Janine-Kanine looks like an elegant noblewoman on the outside but she has vibes similar to Euphrasie! She gets she/her pronouns. Her craft type is Paper. Battle style wise, she's more on the offensive side, a main dps kind of thing. Most of her skills focus on buffing attack and speed, she'd have an item that helps regen her hp a lil bit and her chosen weapon is an umbrella. The tip is a sharp blade so it's used like a spear that has a hidden sword in its handle. Open it, and it becomes a shield! That'd be one of her skills too, although it's only applicable to her. She's the fastest one of the trio.
Pierre-Jacques-Erneste looks like a nobleman and carries himself as such! He gets he/they pronouns. Their craft type is Scissors. Battle style wise, he's more of a debuffer, skills focusing on weakening the enemies, slowing them down, poisoning them. Their weapon is a sword dagger, though he doesn't seem to be able to handle it well, how clumsy! But he Is a nobleman so it makes sense! Oh but... why doesn't he have a title? They're the slowest one of the trio, how strange, he seemed to be faster than Lady Irene-Janine-Karine that one time though.

Donna Noble being a modernized mirror of Steven Taylor is not leaving my brain. two haters on the tardis, both very willing to call the doctor out on his bullshit, trying their absolote hardest to be a hero even though they truly don't believe they are not that great.
its even more then that, because Donna feels like the version of Steven if Steven's worries were actually listened too, Steven if he actually forced the Doctor to admit his fond emotions towards him, and how much the horrored they all sufferd actually affected them
in cunclusion, you can switch Steven and Donna in their scene and get incredibly similer results!
(you can't tell me you don't wanna see Donna singing Old Chance Saloon and she would give the same angry singing if she was forced to sing at gun point XD)

With mapleshade posts going around again, I wanted to ask...
With the timing of Reedshine being pregnant not long after Mapleshade's kits were born, is the implication that Appledusk was seeing them both at the same time?
The guy was a straight up cheating womanizer
