Excerpt:
“Martin,” Jon says, frail. Martin blinks, a flick of lashes, glazing his eyes gold in the low light. Jon squeezes his hands. “This- this might be the last—”
“Oh, come on,” Martin huffs, dropping his eyes. “Jon- don’t— Don’t.”
“Don’t what?”
“Don’t-” Martin bites his lip, but not before Jon’s seen it quiver. The patchy hair dusting his neck—would it be prickly against Jon’s skin?—undulates, throat in turmoil beneath.
“Come on,” Martin says again, a plea.
Jon closes his eyes, and the energy in his body buzzes all the brighter. He furrows his brow. Exhales. “So, I waited too long.”
Sudden and sharp, Martin’s hands clench. It startles Jon’s eyes open.
“Of course not,” Martin says, a rush. “God, I just—” he laughs, utterly vacant of joy, “it’s just- it’s shit timing, isn’t it?”

09 soapghost au, ghost was a member of soap’s unit before roba and they were together until he was taken. when he comes back and takes up the ghost mantle, simon riley is declared KIA and the hope that soap had let kindle in his heart that he’d come back to him dies. he throws himself into training, into becoming captain so he won’t let down another soldier the way he let simon down
then he recruits ghost to the 141 and ghost sees how much he’s changed, how much harder he is; slow to smile, never relaxing and he realises how much he fucked up by never reaching out. he’d thought he’d be better off without him, without the shell of the man he used to love but he’d done nothing but hurt him
after the close call with shepherd, soap wants to get right back into it, wants to hunt makarov down for almost getting his sergeant and lieutenant killed and ghost is yelling at him to just take it easy and heal first when soap snaps back, “i can’t lose anyone else! not again!” and ghost just rips his balaclava off, showing his face for the first time in years…
and soap says nothing. he just looks at him, completely unreadable. ghost clenches the balaclava in his hand, waiting for anything; even injured, soap can still pack a mean punch and he’s waiting for it, almost hoping for it… but he still does nothing. just stares
“well? c’mon!” he growls, stalking in closer. “let me have it! tell me how pissed you are! that i left you alone! that i ruined you the moment i touched you! that you regret ever fucking looking at me! scream, shout, say something!” until he’s leaning over soap’s chair, chest heaving
soap’s hand lifts and ghost can’t help his flinch before planting himself, ready to be struck, longing for it, to be punished the way he punishes himself-
soap’s hand gently cups his cheek and he freezes, breath catching as his thumb caresses the snake bite scars on his lip; feather-light and reverent. just like he used to
“you’re as beautiful as the day i lost you”

the best thing about Shadowbringers world is that slow dawning realization as you explore it
that ultimately, the entirety of Norvrandt, As You See It Now, is the end result of a long series of dominoes falling
that started with the right person getting on the right Chocobo cart at the right time.
my favorite thing about shadowbringers is and will forever always be that it's pretty much just the aftermath of a jrpg plot in of itself. like every single member of ardbert's crew had their own personal journeys and backstory and calls to adventure and he slowly collected them along the way like a classical rpg story and everything. there was something there, once. you could have (and were) that exact same person in that exact same situation, once. ardbert did literally everything right and still it came to this etc etc

in hindsight the first three episodes of teen wolf are so funny because scott is running around absolutely dead-set convinced that derek's the one who turned him into a werewolf, and all of his derek-centered animosity hinges on that one incorrect belief, and then at the end of 1x03, he finally yells at derek, "you're the one who bit me!" and derek's just like, "no. i'm not." and. well. this all could've been cleared up so much sooner is all i'm saying.

Trying to obtain willpower by any means and mostly those means are animals and the joy of depicting them freely

[ID: a digital drawing of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives, lying curled around each other on a nondescript, gently glowing background. Martin lies on his side in the fetal position with his head in Jon’s lap, his face pinched with sadness and pressed against Jon’s stomach. Jon rests one hand in Martin’s short hair and cups his cheek with the other hand, his own head rested on Martin’s shoulder as he gazes down at him with concern. Jon’s curly salt-and-pepper hair spills spills around his head, and his small, angular body curls into a similarly fetal position. He is depicted as a British-Pakistani man with dark brown skin, covered in prominent scars. Martin is depicted as a much larger Vietnamese-Polish man, with medium brown skin and freckles. He is about eight months pregnant; a subtle circle of light both highlights his belly and makes a halo behind Jon’s head. End ID]

there's really something indescribably compelling about 'good omens' — being a show that deals with serious situations in a comedic way — to have a dark undertone. the undertone that brings up the possibility of torture, both physical and emotional and from the hands of both heaven and hell. just thinking about all the possible scenarios gives the story a completely different feel, creating the world where between absolutely unhinged, genuinely funny episodes there were moments of excruciating pain. and i find that beautiful.

The way I'm caring less and less about ST as a show every day is almost scary, considering not so long ago my blog was all about that.
But pretty much every character I even cared about has already died or has been butchered by bad/mediocre writing, and those that have already died, I don't think they plan on bringing them back, so my interest in s5 is now closer to zero than one.
And I think I'm actually quite okay with that.
