#he respects their opinions and values their input but wants them to have as much if their childhood as possible

[yandere-kokeshi]

What about Yandere! Dad Price 🤔

Warnings: yandere behavior and everything platonic. Nothing romantic.

A/N: ohh boy, you just gave me an ultra writing spree. Enjoy!!

You have him wrapped around your finger. You could ask anything, and Dad! Price would give it to you within seconds. He values everything about you, including your opinions and support. He wants your input of things, or at least when you can. 

John is a Mufasa type of dad. Incredibly protective, only wants the best for you, and lets you have some type of independence. In honest aspects, he’s considerably chill regarding his dark behavior, or at least appears to be. Yet, the second something seems off, he’s pulling you behind him with his thick words, urging you to get to the truck. 

He has no desire to have another s/o. He’s not risking it with someone else who can easily come into the family and could sabotage the bond between you two. Plus, he prefers raising you on his own. 

Your phone is wired with trackers — a green dot, glowing frantically on John’s phone, easily telling him your location. And by chance when you find out, it’s easy to cover it up, reminding you that his job is dangerous, and all he wants is safety for you. 

Would’ve homeschooled you, but with the large percentage of depression and antisocial risks, he decided against it. And because of it, you have many perks as being the kid of a famous military Captain, which means everyone respects you; including the school district. Despite his rank, he doesn’t use it unless necessary, wanting people to naturally respect you and him. 

With school, Dad! Price participates a lot. He often picks you up from school, taking you out for ice-cream on Friday’s. Makes you delicious home-made lunch when he can (including leaving notes), and does whatever he can to help decrease your worry. Doing homework with him is rather nice, he explains it in multiple ways to ensure you understand it; definitely the type to do flash-cards, and gives you candy if you guess them correctly. 

It comes with no surprise that you have a lot of fun uncles, and two awesome aunts. The team equally place themselves as your extended-family, visiting when they can, and adoring you. Laswell frequently visits, not only to see your father, but also to take you out when you need a break. 

Undoubtedly the type to have a ‘no cussing jar’ in the house. However, the rules mostly apply to you. However, he does cuss — grumbling out when he gets caught before throwing cash into the clear jar. Either way, he uses the cash to spoil you.

Calls you a few cliché nicknames instead of using your name; only using it when you’re in trouble of sorts. He usually rests on calling you little one, kiddo, scout, and bubs. 

Dad! Price never smokes cigars around you, and hides them out of reach. He doesn’t want you to seek them out, because 1) they’re bad for you. And 2) he wants you to be better than he can be. He only smokes out on the porch, and hates when you are present. 

Makes the best barbecue and smoked foods that you could imagine. 

It’s no surprise that Dad! Price teaches you a lot of self-defense and about your surroundings. Reminding you to take a taser, or pepper-spray when you leave the house. He knows that you’re protected, him and the others are highly trained SAS soldiers ready to pounce on any threat. But, having you know things — especially if he’s training you himself — lets his paranoia rest a bit. 

Despite his large leeway with you, he’s pretty strict about school. John wants you to be good, and expects you to follow the rules. If he notices your grades dropping, he asks what’s up and how he can help; giving you the ‘dad-look’ when you don’t do assignments. 

However, it’s easily noticed that he hates homework — you’re working at school for 8+ hours, pretty much exhausted when you get home, and they expect you to finish these long pages at your comfort zone? Not on his watch. 

Rarely brings you to the base, but when he’s missing his kiddo, he’s fetching you from home and brings you to foot. His office is large, enough space to place a pull-out couch, which is made for you. He lets you sleep whilst he works, having calls with many, and carries you back to the truck when he’s done. 

John is strict about rules in the house, and doesn’t listen to any excuses or give you leeway when you break them; it’s easy to follow, and you know the consequences. 

One of the rare things he actively allows is potential partners. He rarely threatens them — and he doesn’t need to. He’s a Captain, a man who is unafraid to show his strength. So, in a quick sense, nobody would be stupid enough to try to hurt you, right? 

And if they do, we all know what will happen. And it’s certainly not a pretty sight.

Had a reflection about Carmilla's relationship to men in the Castlevania anime, especially with Hector. He is the only one she can hurt as much as she likes because he's mortal and holds no real power in front of her. It's not only that she finds him weak, girl is beating the shit out of him and seems to deeply despise him. The thing is, Carmilla’s visceral hate of Hector links to the way she views men as automatically wanting to hurt her because she’s only known them as the purest form of danger and predators to her and yet, she deeply envies their characteristic, social ones. I don’t think she wants to be a man per say, on the contrary, I love how deeply comfortable she is with her femininity but she wants the natural power that men hold for no reason other than being men. It makes one bitter to always fight for what others are freely granted and so she becomes the abuser so that she can’t be the abused anymore.

Proof is, she is respectful of her sisters in Styria. She never makes Striga, Morana or Lenore feel like less than her, she values their input and opinions because she knows they can't hurt her. In her own way, she does have affection for them as well. Traumas make you view the world in terms of black and white, evil and good, friends or foes, and to Carmilla, it's men vs women.

Her incredible amount of pain and rage makes her blind to the fact that she is perpetuating the very cycle of violence that she was once a victim of. Of course her goal of ruling the world is profoundly idiotic, but in her mind, if she’ll only feel secure when she’s the most powerful person, because no one up there means no power to hurt her. She precipitated Dracula's fall for that reason because she was intelligent enough to realize that she could never stand up to him at his full power, so she just used the circumstances to her advantage. There are layers and layers of rage in her but also this carapace of cruelty that makes her enjoy taking things away from people. At the end of the day, her simple goal will always be the same ; not being hurt again.

Can we please talk about all the experiences that Mile and Apo have gone through together. The fact that Apo was present there for Mile when he got his hair cut and he donated it. I don’t want to assume but someone pointed out the fact that Mile got his finger tattoo after meeting Apo again. How after meeting again he found a person with which he could take risks and have a bit more personal freedom into trying not to care about what others think of him, but what makes HIM happy, on various occasions Apo has pointed out that he wants Mile to be more self confident, and I find it so lovely how they each give to each other as much as they get . And how can I put in words the greatest gift Mile has given to Apo(by investing into BOC)….creative freedom! How Apo is in a place where he feels seen and heard, and also respected bc they take into account his opinions and his input. A place where they respect his artistry and for that I will forever love them both to pieces ❤️

🥺🥺🥺🫶

apparently not everyone knows this but yes, Apo was there when Mile got his hair cut and Mile also grew it specifically to donate to charity

also apparently Mile doesn't like his hair being touched so the fact he casually let's Apo style his hair all the time is so cute 🥺

here's a very visible quote from Vogue about Apo wanting Mile to be more confident 🥹😖🫶🫰

Q: do you have anything you want to say to each other that impressed you and that you never said to your partner before?

Apo: i have one thing that i never said to him..i wanted to say this long time ago (apo's voice became more serious before turning his face to mile who's smiling and teased pmile "i’m making your face all sweet and lovely"). I wanna say that he has became more skilled but he’s never satisfied with himself for real. He has a handsome face and is skilled in what he's doing, i want pmile to be satisfied with himself and not to be anxious. Except from this, pmile has made me more calm. Before, i liked to do things fast and i would get irritated with anything slow. Seeing how pmile is more on the calmer side, it makes me able to do so too like teaching me the other way around saying “there are different people on this world”

Me, a capricorn who doesn't believe in astrology because that's a capricorn trait: that's so capricorn of him

and yes, Apo has gotten so much creative freedom from being in BOC!

I think Mile also makes Apo feel safe. Apo has gotten a lot of comments about being weird, and was bullied on set or on talk shows when he was doing promotion. For whatever value of us as fans seeing/not seeing it, clearly it was a sore point for Apo and something Mile is very protective of Apo over.

also let's not forget, Mile asked for the flag in Taipei! I don't think it occurred to Apo he could ask for it. But as soon as he had it in hand, he was so happy to wrap it around himself 🥰🌈

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

I based him off ORAS persona not RSE Maxie for those with preference!

someone request Maxie with a grunt s/o which I'll do eventually, but I misread it (sorry about that) and wrote all of this and went "well, might as not let this go to waste"

☀️Magma Leader Maxie General Romance HCs🌋

🪨 He's distant. He doesn't mean to, but he struggles at times. His mind wants to solely focus on his goals and research, so he often finds himself busy with plans and leading an entire organisation. It's obvious when he's aware that he's given you none of his time. Suddenly, you're in his office with a Numel curled up in your lap, chatting with the Magma Leader about various things. Tabitha likely reminded, admittedly, but he still acted accordingly nonetheless.

🪨 PDA is something he struggled with. His standoffish demeanour and need to seem respectable keep him from doing little more than a secretive hand-hold. The small affections comfort him more than you'll ever know. If you're more affectionate than him, you get to give a hug and kiss when you greet him. He becomes deeply flustered by this and doesn't reciprocate. (Don't be fooled. He liked it.)

🪨 In private, he's a lot more lenient. He's a cuddly guy, as his main hobby is stealing body heat. (He definitely screams blanket hog in bed.) You'll find him leaning on you quite often. In a more daring mood, you may even find him with an arm around you. You'll get a polite kiss, but nothing more. If you want to cover him in them, however, he'll secretly adore it. Maxie is just odd about intimacy. Clearly craves it, yet no idea how to initiate it. Help him, please.

🪨 Maxie varies on a Jealousy scale. With Courtney and Tabitha, he's calm and full accepting. They're his trusted admins and friends, they'll never do anything with you. With, say, Archie, he's suddenly wedging himself between you both and clearly not happy with the interaction. He overall leans more neutral, but has his moments in certain situations. He's definitely been a bit upset when he felt a Kalosian was being too affectionate. He's mostly going to complain aloud about the other person needing to learn manners. You find it just a bit funny to see his composure break about it.

🪨 He does want you to support him in his endeavours of awakening Groudon. You must understand that he's doing this for the good of humanity. The redhead is completely driven by this goal, so its quite an inevitability that it gets brought up. Should you disagree, he will try to convince you of his side. He's a bit callous and demanding, with a bit of mania. Your rejection of it stings, especially so since he values your opinions above others. If you agree, he will try to convince you to join his team. Though, he does accept is you truly don't want to.

🪨 When his plans fail, he needs much support. It haunts him terribly that not only was Archie right, but also that he almost destroyed his beloved Hoenn and the entire world with his foolishness. He takes to trying to properly help Hoenn, since Steven inexplicably got him out of any actual charges. You should just remind him that he was thankfully stopped before causing any true harm, and now he has grown as a person. He thinks on this for a while. It's a group effort between you, the Magma Admins, and most of Team Magma to reassure the man. The false confidence suddenly being gone is admittedly a bit disturbing.

🪨 If you're a trainer, he's mildly interested in seeing what you battle. It's not necessarily his forte, but he can recognise skill and talent. He may even ask you to help him become better at battling. Maxie is relatively decent in his own, but other input certainly helps. If you aren't, he still prefers you have a pokemon (Numel) for protection. Who knows what those Aqua brutes will do to you if they catch you alone. That's why you should at least have a pokemon to defend yourself.

🪨 His idea of dates are a bit strange. He'll do normal things like dinner or walking somewhere scenic (so long as it doesn't involve a large body of water). These are always pleasant and sweet, but other times his idea of a date is walking through Mt. Chimney examining rock structures or staring at the lava pool within the volcano. He's so deeply fascinated with it all that you just let him have it. (He seems like the type to enjoy a geode as a gift.) He also tends to watch all the Numels you pass with intrigue.

🪨 In case it isn't obvious, he's quite a big fan of Numel and Camerupt. They're the main star of his team and his megaevolution partner. Receiving one as a gift from him means completely trust. If you're a Numel breeder… he may propose to you after a single date. Your power is something he nearly respects as much as Groudon's own.

[i-write-hurt-not-comfort]

Now a chance for you to talk about reijiruki. What do you think they have similarity wise and difference wise?

i’m really bad at structuring these posts so i’m just gonna waffle. 

// general game spoilers

the first thing i really like about reijiruki is that, in my opinion at least, they both have the same love language! i think it’s pretty clear that both of them show their love by acts of service. making their s/o tea or food. i also love the times ruki eats yui’s burnt food and i think that just shows that he really appreciates the thought. 

i can imagine a reijiruki relationship just... constantly being them doing things for each other. like, look i cleaned the house, look i made dinner, look i arranged your precious plate/book collection <3 but they’re both not actually great with words so they keep going back and forth but that’s how they communicate their love. 

i don’t think ruki looks up to reiji as much as sees him as an equal. i think it’s a shame that ruki rivals w/ ayato in his routes because i want reijiruki! i get why, but damn i wanna see ruki competing with reiji. ruki competes with reiji BECAUSE he sees himself as an equal. and reiji gets caught off-guard because ruki treats him like an equal. 

generally in canon, reiji seems to look up to ruki quite a lot? especially in more blood when he just casually rocks up to the mukami manor with yui and is like “hey can i stay here, also have this highly valuable item” and ruki is like ??? okay?? also in reiji’s lost eden, he really appreciates ruki’s input! and when ruki says sth like “i will follow you, reiji sakamaki, who follows his feelings” or something. it’s really sweet and it’s like ruki finally accepting reiji for who he is. and since reiji really respects ruki, i can imagine that meant a lot to him. 

ruki is quite cocky and although reiji looks up to him a lot, i think ruki would be the first to fall. like he spends to much time thinking about reiji and why reiji is like that towards him and BAM, instant crush. but reiji would take a long ass time to realise he likes reiji too. and from then on, they just... compete for each other’s attention. they would try to impress each other and it’d bounce back and forth for ages until one of them sucks it up and confesses. 

reiji and ruki both take a long time to admit their feelings and we see that in canon too. ESPECIALLY ruki, although reiji does it too. in more blood and lost eden when reiji can’t understand his feelings, he pulls away but he usually regrets it. i will always think about the CG where reiji cries over yui. 

ruki is worse with this, though. in dark fate, he takes his feelings out on yui because he can’t understand them. lost eden hurts me the most, the way he completely withdraws from yui when he’s struggling w/ the karlheinz stuff because he just can’t bring himself to talk about. so, they’re not big talkers. 

in a relationship situation, i think this could be an issue because they wouldn’t ever want to admit to anything being wrong. they don’t to seem less to the other people because they value their opinion so damn much. both reiji and ruki would notice something is wrong with the other too but they keep chugging on and avoiding talking about it because NEITHER of them can communicate it!

however i do think once it’s out there, they could talk things out quite well. they’re stubborn but i think they would compromise with each other. it’s just getting it out there which takes time. 

finally, i wanna talk about why both of them have difficulty forming meaningful relationships and why having each other as equals would be really revolutionary. 

ruki has a higher self-esteem than reiji and i will die on this hill. obviously ruki doesn’t love himself a whole lot but reiji has very bitter feelings towards himself. reiji grew up second to shu, constantly thinking something was missing and that he was missing this love-deserving quality. nobody could love him, he was second to shu. he was never enough. 

i think reiji as a kid learnt to just... not see much of himself and that’s why he grows up so arrogant and cold. he doesn’t like himself at all so if he’s uptight and bitter and it’s how he gets by. it’s the only image of himself he can deal with. 

ruki’s major issue is taking accountability. like, he just sucks at that. in more blood, he’s a dick to yui for the most part. when he can’t become adam he blames ayato, he blames the fact he’s not a full vampire. and like, yeah, that’s why he can’t be adam but damn ruki, even if you COULD, you wouldn’t be. because ur being a dick. 

and you know, ruki had a really hard upbringing. his mother had an affair, his father committed suicide. i understand why he doesn’t want to blame himself for things going wrong but it definitely gets in the way of him actually being honest with other people because in his head it’s never him that’s the problem. 

in dark fate, it’s shin’s fault. it’s yui’s fault. it’s his brothers fault for failing their task to karlheinz. but it’s never ruki’s fault, is it? no, this bitch doesn’t apologise for anything until dark epilogue in dark fate. i think that’s the turning point for him and yui’s relationship and it’s BECAUSE he finally took accountability for what he’d done wrong. 

i think in my head i like to see reijiruki as being one of the less problematic ships but realistically, they’d be pretty difficult for each other before they paid attention to their different. ruki could definitely be a dick about things and act like he’s right and because reiji has such low self-esteem, he either gives in or gets bitter about it and then they argue. a lot of the time i think they’d take a long time to reach agreements. 

with that said, neither ruki and reiji are physically violent and neither of them are openly suicidal. makes them smoother than subakou i think. 

wow this was long. i really fucking love reijiruki.

How to do a Better Velma Show

No, I haven't watched HBO's Velma because it sucks ass based on the reviews, and I don't wanna boost its ratings by hate-watching. So, instead, I'm gonna provide a few ideas that I have to make a better show centred around Velma. These are only my ideas but feel free to give your opinions on them.

Make Velma flawed, but likeable and relatable. No character is perfect, but it's fine to include a few flaws in some characters. For her, maybe make her just a little bossy, regarding Shaggy, but not to the point of insufferable, in fact make her learn what being a good leader is, while keeping in touch with her famous characteristics. Make her a bit too quick thinking, but eventually have her learn better critical analysis when it comes to solving mysteries.

Race swaps are fine; include them if you want, but leave out the goddamn stereotypes, e.g. Velma being a pretentious, know-it-all southeast Asian girl. Like, not all Asians are like this!

Cut down on the gore and sex scenes. This is when they were set in HIGH SCHOOL, right??? So, why does it have a scene of some girls showering with their lady parts covered? I mean, come on, I know it's supposed to be for adults, but don't sexualise kids! Or keep bringing up peepee jokes in relation to some kid! (I'm talking about the one with Fred) Plus, as someone who draws gore, gore doesn't equal "mature show". Putting gore in a show for shock value just comes off as lazy. I also recommend either having the murder victims killed off in a "clean" way (no violence like removing their brains, maybe something mysterious) or maybe have them kidnapped or something. Yeah, Mystery Incorporated had a lot of death but didn't go over the top with its violent scenes.

Hire better voice actors. The voice acting in this show is terrible, particularly for those voicing the side characters and Mindy Kaling. :/ The other main characters, I feel they could be better, but the character with the most tolerable voice acting is Norville, voiced by Sam Richardson. He could sound a little goofy like Shaggy, but not too much. Speaking of...

Give my man Shaggy more respect. He doesn't have to get with Velma, but he also doesn't need to be treated this shitty. Like, maybe have her be touched by Shaggy's confession, but politely let him down and apologise for not being able to return those feelings. Also, make him a dog lover, a foodie, and take out the "junkie" jokes. Make him smart yet goofy as well!

Fred could've SERIOUSLY been done better. -_- I don't mind him being written as a rich kid, but maybe have him be a kind guy who's eager to be independent and start his own trap making business. An idea his own dad looks down upon. Have him be fed up hanging around with his douchebag jock friends and start hanging with the Mystery Gang slowly over time. Oh, and a personal choice, make him neurodivergent. :D

Make Velma neurodivergent as well. Just saying. UWU

Take out the godawful meta humour and pop culture references. I don't need to explain why, but I will say that Mindy Kaling should've actually put a lot more effort into her writing.

Have Daphne be only a slight snob, but not a bitch. In fact, have her eventually diss the status quo and go hang with the Mystery Gang and embrace her goofy self like in some other incarnations, e.g. Be Cool, Scooby Doo. Oh, and have her be part of the karate club.

Maybe have Velma's parents be more loving and perhaps diss the "missing mother" subplot. Maybe have them be divorced and Velma missing the time when they used to be together.

Somehow introduce Scooby Doo into this. The gang isn't the same without him.

More convincing platonic and romantic chemistry between characters. Doesn't matter if they're hetero or LGBT, MAKE THEM WORK.

BETTER DEPICTIONS OF PANIC ATTACKS.

Don't hire Mindy Kaling on the team. XD

OK, these are my thoughts on how to make a better Velma show! Feel free to add your own input as well!

thank u leah mwah ❤

💈 BARBER POLE: How particular are they about their hair? Do they prefer to do it themselves or get it done professionally, if they care at all?

she's not too up in arms about her hair (definitely doesn't care during 2009) but back in her umbrella days she'd always get it done professionally!

💔 BROKEN HEART: What would break their heart? What’s the worst thing a significant other or a close friend could do to them?

the absolute worst would honestly just be to betray her trust, outside of that she has some extremely low expectations so she's not really surprised by much (if you want something done right do it yourself and all that) and she'd never admit it but wesker's ***** does hit her pretty hard

❤️‍🔥 HEART ON FIRE: What really gets them going? What’s their favorite thing for a significant other to do?

receiving gifts ofc...but she's also a big fan of sitting in comfortable silence, it doesn't matter if they're both busy working or doing other things she just likes the proximity!

💘 HEART WITH ARROW: Do they ever get crushes? What do they do when they have feelings for someone?

she rarely ever gets crushes if at all...wesker was definitely her first and she didn't even. regard it as a crush? it was more along the lines of oh i respect him greatly and i value his input and sometimes he looks nice and then. yeah.

🃏 JOKER: Do they like card games? Do they prefer gambling games or playing just for fun?

she enjoys card games yeah! can't go wrong with a little bit of poker (even when she knows she should be working). it's not that she prefers playing for fun, but she doesn't gamble for everyone else's sakes

❤️‍🩹 MENDING HEART: When they’re heartbroken or extremely upset, what makes them feel better?

throwing herself into her work, pretty much, maybe a little shopping spree or two! she really just wants to think about literally anything else except for what she's dealing with

🏴‍☠️ PIRATE FLAG: Have they ever stolen? What’s their opinion on stealing, piracy, scams, etc. in general?

she firmly believes that she's above stealing and piracy, and she's far too smart for scams. that being said, i think she'd also be a firm believer of making important things free to the general public (like scientific articles and the like) as such her dissertations and (pre-umbrella) research are all open access

💞 REVOLVING HEARTS: Do they have a best friend? What’s their relationship like?

she wasn't really big on friends back when she still used to work for umbrella and she still isn't now (honestly i don't think she and wesker even considered each other to be best friends when they got together), and excella was nothing more than a co-worker (but she's slightly petty and likes flexing her relationship with wesker just bc) but if there was anyone she'd really consider a "best" friend it'd be aj's girl viv 😌just two girlbosses (maybe...something more) finishing their partners' research

🏳️ WHITE FLAG: What is their breaking point? When do they feel like they have to give up, if ever?

hitting multiple dead ends, feeling like there's a problem too hard for her to solve, but she doesn't give up completely, she just steps back for a few days to just think and i wanna say she goes complete no contact during times like those

💤 ZZZ: What are their sleeping habits like? Do they snore, move around a lot, etc.?

she very much sleeps like the dead, stays completely still and often times you can't even tell if she's breathing or not (but she loves being under a mountain of pillows)

#ask memes #oc: amanda wesker #x: the old gods are dead #thank u for this she really squeezed my brain out :') #asks #arklay

Iori and Koushiro

Send me two names among the following 12 and I’ll write a short analysis post about them:

Taichi Yagami | Yamato Ishida | Sora Takenouchi | Koushirou Izumi | Mimi Tachikawa | Jyou Kidou | Takeru Takaishi | Hikari Yagami | Daisuke Motomiya | Miyako Inoue | Iori Hida | Ken Ichijouji

Whether canon provides input on them or not:

As much as Iori often gets the short end of the stick in terms of screentime and character development, this one gets a clear yes. Koushirou and Iori are obviously set up to be paralleled with each other - not only is Iori the heir of the Crest of Knowledge and also the shortest in his group, but both of them deal with their own inner turmoils regarding their family backgrounds, which clearly define their personal value systems and development. I have already outlined how they’re portrayed as parallels here, talking about how they’re both highly curious and very polite, what their roles in their respective Chosen Children groups are, who their foils and most important interactions are, etc. 

The essence of their general relationship with each other is already displayed perfectly in the screenshot above though: 02!Koushirou has grown into a mentor figure who enjoys to be an aid for the new Chosen Children and once he realizes how similar Iori is to him, he basically immediately takes him under his wing, telling him that he could always come to him for advice and to ask for help. That is actually a huge deal considering how much he struggled with his own people skills in 01 - and the fondness with which he looks at Iori here definitely displays a sense of care and curiosity very early on already. Iori takes the offer very gladly - and even though they don’t have that many scenes throughout 02 that show just the two of them interacting with each other (Iori is actually seen being more close with Jyou in that regard), they’re seen investigating in the Digital World together, with Koushirou generally being very protective of Iori (which, in my opinion, slightly mirrors the way Taichi was protective of Koushirou himself in 01). 

Whether I think why and how they’d work:

As pointed out in the upper part - and the comic/meta I’ve linked -, there are two particular scenarios about these two I highly enjoy: One of them is just them having that “investigative senpai/kohai (or big brother/little brother)” vibe going on, exploring the whereabouts of the Digital World together while everyone else is shaking their heads about how deeply they’re already lost in their own little world (especially Miyako, who would occasionally join in on the rambles and nerdisms, but can’t always keep up with them). In a very self-indulgent headcanon, I would love these two to spend huge chunks of their free time together with Taichi and Takeru (and Jyou), with Iori trying to take note of how casually Koushirou is interacting with Taichi (whereas he himself is still sometimes struggling to understand Takeru properly, but really wants to). Basically them having a very kind, mutually supportive, brotherly relationship with each other sounds very endearing.

The other scenario is the romantically inclined one - with Iori having an (unrequited) crush on Koushirou, because he just admires and adores him not only for being his knowledgable mentor, but also for his general attitude, displaying confidence, a hands-on-mentality and courage to make his opinion heard when it matters, inspiring him to do the same. Koushirou, on the other hand, may not be able to pick up on his crush and is just generally very excited to be able to teach him things and encourage him - since Iori would be one of the few to happily listen to his rambles without losing interest at some point (the others don’t do it on purpose, but at some point, they simply can’t follow him when he’s in absolute rant mode, as mentioned above with Miyako).

Maybe in some kind of future scenario, with both of them being adults (since there’s still a four year age gap between them), Iori might be able to confront and confess his feelings to Koushirou. However, I’m not sure if they could actually let completely loose towards each other, as they’ve been just very similar and might not be able to give each other the emotional attention they’d need. (Admittedly, it could be an intriguing concept to have Koushirou notice that the boy, who was always by his side looking up to him, turned into quite the capable man himself who’d also probably be taller than himself, haha, and with Iori embracing his own sense of kindness, forgiveness and openness, their changing bond could be an interesting thing to look out for.)

Whether I’d prefer them as platonic or romantic ship:

Since I have a vague idea who has sent me this ask (hehe), I know that they enjoy these two as a romantic ship and I may or may not have drawn them like that before - but as outlined above, I feel like they work better as brotherly combination (or with the one-sided crush scenario), as Koushirou is basically the mom big brother to all the 02 kids anyway. So he’d happily take his little brother on an adventure, together with Taichi, Takeru and Jyou, watching him grow and develop into a fine young man, with all the pride and affection he can gather. (We might need to see how the 02 movie plays Iori’s 19-year-old self to tell how compatible they could be at this point in time).

multiples of 6 for dinah & elgara for the inquisitor and/or romanticism meme!

thank you tabby!!

6. What is their opinion of the Seekers of Truth?

DINAH hates the Chantry and all its associates. When she learns the Seekers have the ‘cure’ for Tranquility, she goes ham. While she learns grudging respect for Cassandra’s faith, she will never believe in the goals of the Seekers. ELGARA is more impressionable, but she still doesn’t like the Chantry all that much. Chantry secret agents, in her opinion, have too much power.

12. How does your Inquisitor deal with traitors?

DINAH wants to know why they betrayed the organization, and she never stoops to torture. Specifically with Alexius (not an Inquisition traitor, but still), she puts him to work researching and values his input, as he’s intelligent (like her). ELGARA looks to her advisors on this matter, mostly Leliana, so most are taken out quietly after being questioned.

18. What does our Inquisitor think about “the game”? Would they participate in it? Did they enjoy the time at the Winter Palace?

DINAH has no patience for it (as you might imagine). She actually did enjoy the Winter Palace, because she got to make a big scene about Mage Rights in the middle of the ballroom and it was fun for her (Josie had to play a lot of cleanup, but Dinah enjoyed it). ELGARA thinks it’s stupid, even if she’s polite enough not to say that. Most high-born worries are silly in her opinion — Lavellan isn’t a terribly destitute clan, but she’s still elven, and she thinks these squabbles over land that isn’t really yours are just that: squabbles.

24. Who do they take with them on their journeys?

DINAH’S party is Dorian, Cole, and Blackwell (bestie, son, and boyfriend). ELGARA’S is Dorian (he’s my fave lmao), Varric, and Iron Bull or Solas.

30. Ferelden or Orlais?

DINAH prefers Ferelden — honestly, I debate making her Ferelden instead of a Marcher from time to time, but even if she is a Marcher, she’s certainly not Orlesian. ELGARA loves Orlais! It makes her sad, sure, but there’s rich history there. So many Elven artifacts!

Which part of Thedas does your Inquisitor enjoy the most venturing to? Which area would they rather avoid?

DINAH loves going to the Hinterlands and spends a lot of time there. However, the Storm Coast makes her question whether she actually enjoys Ferelden (it smears her face paint). ELGARA’S favorite region is the Exalted Plains, because of the elves there :) She also enjoys the Forbidden Oasis, it’s a great place to take baths.

Which bed does your Inquisitor sleep in at night (if they ever sleep)?

DINAH uses the Ferelden bed, and ELGARA uses the simple Orlesian bed.

Hey not sure if you’re Christian but I think I remember you posting a bit about your faith a while back ?!?! I don’t know buuuuut

Anyway, thought I’d ask your opinion on this matter it’s a bit intense maybe but getting on anon and asking for advice from people on here felt like the first step of this without anyoen knowing me in my real life first. I have recently considered that maybe my partner was using a weird way of emotional manipulation or abuse (I don’t wanna say abuse) but I have been going to church for a little over 2 years and am pretty strong in where I stand. Whereas he was more fresh to the whole thing lol but I used to think we were on the same page ,,, BUT it would constantly be a case of he would change his mind on everything from one week to the next and it felt like even when I gave my view he would turn it so he didn’t have to agree with me or turn it into some kind of conflict and also times where he would say I wasn’t trusting God enough if I had a bad day or told me ‘this isn’t how you should be if you were with Jesus’ if I got upset about things he said sometimes and it felt like I never knew if he would say he’d break up with me and blame me for not being ‘holy’ enough but the next day he would say he is there for me and wants to help etc I’ve babbled enough but hope I’m not bombarding you w/ all of this ahah take your time to answer if you do !!! 💀

hey, anon 👋🏼

First off, manipulation is a form of abuse— anything that's used to exhort, exploit, control how one feels, behaves, or thinks to the said manipulator advantage so they get what they want, is emotional abuse.

If you feel like you can't be yourself, or feel horrible after they've stated something inconsiderate, mean, rude, or even disregarded your stance and/or values in both your life and faith, then I would consider it emotional abuse, anon.

In my opinion, a partner is supposed to respect and value your beliefs or lifestyle while they also navigate through their own as well. You know, mutual respect and etc? The fact that he tries to to turn your inputs or opinions into a conflict and even insert Jesus into the discussions or arguments (?) to have you agree with him or in general feel bad about how you approach your faith or life, is not right. And to top that, you're describing them as someone who goes back and forth in judging you and making you feel horrible to trying to be there for you? Again, that's in my opinion, someone who has issues that needs to be addressed because it looks like they're being emotionally abusive towards you.

First off, this word 'holy' really irks me — please never allow anyone to tell you how you should or should not practice your faith and how have a relationship with Jesus Christ. That's your journey alone to maintain, change and follow.

I'm sorry — this was all I could infer from what you shared with me. I am not going to tell you what you should or shouldn't about your relationship with your partner, but you stated that you feel strong in your beliefs and lifestyle so let that be your first groundwork in how you choose to address the other issues. Protect your peace, happiness, and life, anon. Good luck with everything 👍🏼

---------

I don't know what else to say other than give my honest opinion, which I don't think I should. I'm not really sure where I stand on my faith, I just know I am not 'religious' anymore. I apologize if this wasn't as helpful or if I didn't make as much sense. I do hope anything I said helps you in any small way —

#i'll try to fix typos if i see some after i post because i'm in the tags and don't want to scroll up #yes i am being a lazy butt #sort of #in all seriousness — #good luck anon i'll be rooting for you #okay 👍🏼 #asks

Will My Speaking Up Work Against Me?

I was startled when a senior professional asked me the question mentioned above.

Whether it is about contributing to discussions, pitching ideas, or even expressing difference of opinion, speaking up at work is so important.

On one hand, it is crucial for one’s team and organization wherein leaders with great potential can add valuable inputs. On the other hand, speaking up helps executives gain visibility, influence, credibility, and authority.

Then why do leaders choose to stay silent rather than speak up? Why do they find it challenging to express their viewpoints in their organizations, in meetings and in boardrooms?

Research done by Fierce Conversations and Quantum Workplace revealed that -

About half of employees don't regularly speak their minds at work.

Will my speaking up work against me?

Over time, more than one person across leadership workshops have expressed the fear that speaking up in front of their seniors may work against them.

On deeper probing, I have realised that It is either due to the fear of consequences or for the sake of harmony, that a leader refrains from expressing openly.

"If I speak up, there will be consequences". "What if I may get fired or in bad books of the boss?"

Where does this fear come from?

It can be argued that the culture of fear in the organization as demonstrated by the leadership style is primarily to blame for this lack of expression. It is certainly true. It is indicative of a trust deficit in the organization. Yet, I have found, that in the same organization, there are other people who are willing to voice their opinion. How does that happen?

How is it that in the same organization, and with the same boss, one person is able and willing to speak up while another isn’t? Intriguing, isn’t it?

Having worked with many people on their limiting beliefs, I have found that many a time it is due to some childhood trauma, cultural conditioning or parenting values that turn the most talented people into submissive leaders.

One of my workshop attendees reflected upon how his speaking against bullying in school led to him being isolated and abandoned by his friends.

What did he learn from it? - “Don’t speak up. It has bad consequences.”

Another leader told me that every time he would speak his mind as a child which adults didn’t like, he was beaten up so hard or received so much of anger that he decided to keep quiet for the sake of harmony.

Yet another leader recalled the following, “I used to talk so much as a child that my aunt took a sticking tape and pasted it on my mouth.”

Such residual memories become big blocks and hinder us from gathering the courage to share our opinion, even on an important matter. Other times, our values stop us. Here's a real story:

A leader was required to get monthly meetings to decisions and action points. But each time his meeting would get hijacked either by boss or peer leaving him frustrated. When we explored at deeper level, we found something astounding. This leader said – “People who interrupt are rude and arrogant people. I don’t want to be rude or arrogant”.                                             I asked – “What is the opposite of rude?” “Humble, modest”, he quipped. His identity of being a humble person who didn’t want to be rude or arrogant prevented him from being assertive, leaving him ineffective at his job. On the contrary, the stakeholders needed this CXO leader to be more assertive. His own value of humility became a derailer for him.

Speaking Up is important for your Executive Presence

If a leader speaks up his/her mind without offending others, it will actually work in their favor. Assertive communication is an integral part of Executive Presence.

Leaders who are truthful, transparent and not shy of speaking truth to power gain respect of their stakeholders. These are leaders who are not afraid to take a stand, have conviction in their point of view and are not afraid to convey bad news, if needed. Neither do they avoid difficult conversations. It’s a heady mix of respect for the other and self-confidence that makes these leaders stand out.

Assertiveness is a sweet spot where you give equal importance to your needs and the other's with direct, honest and caring communication.

On the other hand, if a leader cares too much to be direct and honest in his communication lest he should hurt others’ feelings, he is being submissive. Many leaders see it as this or that… you can either be caring OR honest. In reality, it is possible to be both – honest AND caring.

In our culture, we are hardwired not to be assertive but submissive. We think speaking up is being arrogant. We look at seniors in the workplace the way we used to see our father or school principal as children. We have been taught not to argue with elders or figures of authority - to keep quiet and listen. So, we choose to stay quiet.

This brings us to answer the next substantial question.

What is the impact of not speaking up?

Not speaking up can be a double whammy – It is not only detrimental to your leadership effectiveness, but also to your health.

Visualise a crucial decision is being taken in your organization, where your opinion really matters. You may have a point of view (suggestions or a contrary view), but you decide to keep quiet because you are unsure and don’t want to rock the boat.

Consequence 1 – You bury your presence, your ideas, value, and position under your tight lips. And remain unknown amongst peers and senior stakeholders.

Consequence 2 – Your team who is looking to you for leadership may feel disappointed as they value your inputs and you have not been forthcoming. They may be able to sense your dissonance from your body language which may be confusing for them.

Consequence 3- Your organizational initiative could have benefitted from your ideas. As you never shared your thoughts, you will never know.

Consequence 4 – You find an increasing lack of motivation within yourself as you know you are not living in the integrity of thought, word, and action. You go about the motions of daily life, but inside, there is a build-up of stress due to non-expression of your authentic self. This can have far-reaching impact on your health.

Consequence 5 – Your stress has a ripple effect at home, on your loved ones.

If, however, you choose to speak up despite the risk– it exhibits your leadership quality – your courage, ownership,  authenticity. You make your presence felt. It conveys to your top management that you place your organizational interest above your own. It also conveys to your team that you will stand up for what is right. People respect conviction. They admire and trust such a leader. And best of all, when you are aligned with who you are, there is a different quality to your overall well-being, peace, and joy.

What do you choose– Speaking up or not?

Ask yourself today –

What prevents me from speaking up? What are the consequences of choosing silence?

How does it make you feel inside about you?

What is the worst that will happen if I do speak up?

If you don’t give yourself respect, no one else will give you respect.

You need to value yourself. Value what you bring to the table and the contribution you make.

Next, find your kind of environment. Try to be in the company of right people who appreciate honesty and uprightness.

And work on your assertive communication so that you can say the truth or speak your mind without ruffling any feathers. It is a skill. It can be learned and practiced.

At A Brighter Life, we support leaders in their journey to build their executive presence and communicate assertively , thus accelerating their leadership growth.

Feel free to connect with us in case you want to move forward in your journey to speak up assertively.

I will soon be sharing tips on building assertiveness. Stay connected.

ok I'll be honest, Hakoda taking one look at Zuko, realizing 'shit we gave this fucked up country to a traumitized teenager and told him make sure another war doesn't happen and then just. expected him to do that, wtf, ok ok someone needs to Dad him, ok we can do this' makes 100% sense to me

And then he looks at Aang is like 'WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHILDREN IN THE GOVERNMENT WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE' while Iroh hands him more calming tea.

#i firmly believe Hakoda keeps his kids out of the worst of it #he respects their opinions and values their input but wants them to have as much if their childhood as possible #even if he knows it's a futile endeavor at this point #he will fucking give it them by all any and all means #meanwhile Aang and Zuko are the only options so they're gonna have to make this work #also fuck comics Iroh still lives in caldera if only part time #look at me and say Iroh is leaving Zuko alone with fire nation shit show that is politics rn #after everything he's done for him #there are babies on the battlefield and NO ONE SHOULD BE OK WITH THIS #hakoda feels like he's in the twilight zone #avatar is full of babies #and their very stressed parents #side note Aang getting adopted by every parent or somewhat older person in the series is done that can be so personal #oh fuck Aus where Zuko joins early are missing prime real estate here #Lt. Jee See's his former traumitized child captain currently traumitized teenager captain bring a traumitized child avatar home and goes #well guess I'm a dad again wtf #agnis blazing heart zuko some warning would be nice #'sir you don't have to adopt him?' #shut up eldest nephew you have a brother now #yeah Jee gives off more exasperated uncle energy then dad

MHA Teachers and their confessions

let's just say you're the school TA and that's how you meet them for simplicity's sake. . .

Shouta Aizawa

he was actually on the hiring board that got you into UA

color him impressed

he's been keeping a close eye on you since

it's the little things you do that make him fall hard

how you bring him and yamada coffee while you get kayama's tea order just right

or how when a student needs help you're ready to do anything to help them

he's just salty the students don't find you intimidating

one day yamada convinced him to go to a bar with his colleagues

he didn't mention that you'd be there tho

so when he sees you out of your work attire? he's gone

you couldn't get more attractive to this man and there you go, going plus ultra

he's not sure his heart can take it

both of you are designated sober friends

so that means both of you are the last ones left after getting everyone back to their places

yes he borrowed hizashi's car what of it

when he drops you off to the door of your home

he's all like

"we should go out together, you know, without that whole lot"

ofc you tell him yes

y'all go get coffee a couple of days later

that's where he drops it on you

"i'm attracted to you, i thought you should know"

he's appalled when you tell him you feel the same way

he's like ???? they like me????

not in the insecure way

in the way that yamada has constantly told him he's gonna end up alone if he doesn't freshen up once in a while

y'all grade papers together at his apartment as a pseudo date sometimes

he just enjoys your company (and cuddling you)

Hizashi Yamada

will make his attraction to you apparent

like mans is not subtle at ALL

not in that gross way no absolutely not

sees you in a room and goes "well hello sunshine"

"you look radiant, as always!" even if you wear a hoodie

whipped when he sees you interact with a student who feels like they're stretching themselves thin

like this man is a dj, teacher, and pro hero like he feels like he's ready to crash

and for you to understand that?

wHIPPED I TELL YOU

starts to ask if you're free on the weekends bc he wants to run some lesson plans through you

or maybe he wants to develop a couple of plans for certain students

attraction aside he really respects your opinion as a colleague

he really values your input and has you observe his class once in a while so that you can tell him what was good

but will also start just hanging out with you on the weekend

like he wants to know about you

will take you to dinner if you say yes

because at that point he's not present mic, he's hizashi yamada

tells you over dinner that he likes you

and if you say you return his affections, please he's gonna give you the sweetest, softest kiss

because he may be bold and brash as present mic

but hizashi yamada is a romantic softy

congratulations you're now dating a walking shojo manga

Nemuri Kayama

when you first joined she would pick on you

you weren't used to her type of banter

but you managed to find your footing quickly

so sometimes you would throw it back at her

she'd sometimes respond with "kinky"

bUT ON THE INSIDE SHES SCREAMING

like WOW THAT WAS HOT

she's also an avid tea drinker

so when you learned how she takes her tea she was so touched by the gesture

y'all have some philosophical conversation of the over-sexualization of heroes

she's the type of person to find brains much more attractive than brawn

so when y'all have that type of conversation her heart just goes burrrrrr

she's blunt about liking you tho

not aggressively so

one day she'll wait for you to pack up ur stuff

and ask you out for drinks or something the two of you can do together that's small

cuz u know that teacher salary 🤪 (pay teachers more cowards)

and while you're walking together she'll just

"Hey, listen, i like you. Romantically."

When you tell her you feel the same she smiles and grabs your hand

she shows you who she is

like she begins to open up to you

because she keeps work, teaching and her own life separate

just be there for her please

Toshinori Yagi

listen he has no idea how to date someone

it's always been him and trying to save the world

so when he first started wanting to be with you his selfless ass made sure you were as far away from him as possible

nah bruh that ain't gonna work

especially if yamada and kayama have anything to say about it

they make sure to schedule your breaks with his

just anything to get y'all to be within 5 feet of each other

after his retirement he's not sure if he should just go for it

but he does

it's not as eloquent as one would expect the symbol of peace to be

but it's still cute

asks you out dahgoba beach

y'all sit on a bench and just talk

he's so insecure about his teaching

so he asks advice and you give it to him

after a while the conversation steers to life in general

and this is where he takes the leap of faith

he'll downplay himself tho so you're gonna have to work on that with him

"i know i'm not who i used to be, but i like you, and i would like to try this out with you."

when you say yes he kisses your cheek but you'd think he was the one getting kissed bc he was RED

"i hope im not being too forward"

nah bb you're not being forward at ALLL

plz just love him he's so tired of holding the world on his shoulders

Enola was perched high above the ground in the great gray tree that sat far from the house she had grown to resent without her mother there. It was difficult, the constant want of adventure and thrill that was often smothered because of Mycroft’s inability to have a semblance of joy in his life.

Throwing the shading pencil in her sketchbook and closing it with a huff, Enola heard a set of angered footsteps make their way towards the tree in which she inhabited and she balled her fists against a branch. Half expecting it to be Mycroft yelling at her for leaving the study and half expecting it to be Sherlock doing their eldest brother’s bidding in a kinder manner, one they always hoped she’d fall for.

But it wasn’t. Y/n L/n, Sherlock’s feisty assistant from London was irate with her cheeks as red as apples storming toward the tree. Without noticing Enola above, Y/n leaned against its trunk and her head fell into her hands in embarrassment.

“Did you do something stupid?” Enola inquired and you jumped ever so slightly, looking up with great haste at Enola above. The young girl was smiling down on you kindly but also with such an inquisitive mind, you weren’t sure if she truly cared or just wanted manor gossip to share with the housemaid.

“And why would you ask such a thing, young lady?” You shoved your hands on your hips and narrowed fine eyes at Enola, trying to forget why you stormed out in the first place, though that was practically impossible because you knew he would follow after an argument.

“I asked you first, Y/n. And I’m not a young lady, you sound like Mycroft.” Enola swung her feet off a branch and rested her head in her intertwined hands that laid on top of another arm of the great tree.

“What happened? Did Sherlock finally recognize your talents for discovery or did you say something stupid that angered him?” Enola asked again, more in depth than before and her eyes narrowed now at the woman she had grown to admire very much.

Y/n was always someone who Enola could depend upon. Whether it be for new books from London or a simple lesson on dust particles, she knew Y/n had many of the answers. But as of late, with her mother gone and the tension in the home only growing, Sherlock appeared to be easily angered or upset by small comments, jokes or jabs at him that were not unusual from his assistant and Enola took notice. She saw the way Y/n’s eyes fell or how she would storm out of the room, angered at either herself or his reaction to her little joys and she couldn’t quite figure out why it was always her he was getting angry at. It had never happened before they had come to stay at his childhood home to help with Enola.

“Enola, I do not want to burden you with the petty arguments of adults. It is no concern of yours.”

“If it is my brother’s fault I consider it my concern.”

You pursed her lips at the girl before indulging in your frustrations.

“Every little comment I make he gets angry at. I am not use to being yelled at by him and I certainly do not understand why he is so uptight ever since we arrived. I try to help with his inquiries about your mother but even then, my input seems to go in one ear and sails out the other! Enola, I mean nothing by this, truly, I am simply frustrated by always being second fiddle to a man who appears to need no help at all.” You managed to mutter out in a moments time and Enola understood. Mycroft was the one treating Enola the same way at the moment and she wanted nothing more than to place a metal helmet on his head and bang a stick against it to set his mind straight. The men just do not appear to respect the intelligence of the women in the house.

“I am not meant for a life of domesticity, Enola. I am sure you can tell by the way I stir a pot or fold the laundry, I like adventure and I enjoy mystery very much. I simply want Sherlock to see that too. I don’t want to lose my dearest friend over one little spat.”

Enola smiled down at you and jumped down, meeting the grass with a thud and wiped off the shards that managed to catch themselves on her stockings.

“And that is why I admire you, very much, if I may add. And are you sure you don’t love him? If friends act the way you two do, I would have to choose my friends wisely.” You chuckled, reassured her you were simply just friends and embraced Enola in a some-what motherly manner, though Enola saw it as what she’d imagined would be a best friend, or sister.

“I would tell him how you feel. Make him understand you better and believe me when I say he will listen.” Enola retracted from the embrace and shot off towards the house, leaving you in state of bewilderment and confusion but when you turned around yourself intending to watch Enola run toward the house, you were met with the man you had no more than ten minutes ago stormed away from.

Sherlock stood with one hand in a pocket and the other clutching a book to his chest and a small pout on his face. The pout wasn’t one of sadness or disappointment, but of wonder and curiosity, already trying to decipher the situation before him.

“She was quick to run away.” Sherlock observed and moved toward the tree, leaning his back against it and looking over to you, just slightly to the side of him but facing him, not the land surrounding the tree.

“Well if she knew your temper as well as I do, I would run away too but obviously that has proven to not be an option.”

“I came here to apologize.” Your eyes, ears, and heart managed to perk up at the sound of Sherlock saying the word “apologize” because it wasn’t one he had ever said before, certainly not to you or anyone else he interacted with.

“An apology? From the great Sherlock Holmes? What ever shall I do with this honor?” You faked a gasp and held a hand to your forehead in a manner that only suggested a maiden swooning. Sherlock enrolled his eyes at the joke, seeming to understand that it was simply that, and as your hand made its way down from your forehead, he captured it softly in his empty one and held it gently, yet firm and your eyes flicked up to meet his.

“I would like to be serious about this, Y/n. My actions towards you the last few days have been unlike me and I am sorry for making you feel as if your opinion doesn’t matter, because it most certainly does.”

So he had heard you short conversation with Enola.

“Your opinion I value more than anyone in this world and I am frustrated I have gotten nowhere with my mother’s case in several days. I want her to return safely and with every passing day that outcome becomes less likely.”

“If you spoke to me about your concerns earlier we may have found a middle ground Sherlock. I accept your apology but I will not forgo my jokes in any situation so enjoy the humor while I still walk this earth.”

Sherlock couldn’t help but let the smallest smirk grace his face at the comment. He knew you always took your work seriously, but humor helped with the difficulties some cases can bring and he often failed to recognize the importance of laughter and enjoyment even in the darkest times. He still held your hand in his, in which he then brought it up to his lips and kissed the inside of your palm. It was personal, intimate, and apologetic.

“I am sorry you have to put up with me. I shouldn’t be so harsh when you’re trying to brighten the darkest days.”

“If I want to leave I can, but I seek thrill too much to let you or these cases disappear from my life.”

Sherlock actually smiled and sat down against the trunk, leading you to sit beside him and wrapped his free hand around your shoulders pulling you close. Ever since you arrived at his home, intimate interactions were seldom as Mycroft would have a million harsh words about how you were not a “proper lady to Sherlock”, but it wasn’t like Sherlock would have cared anyway.

“Shall we return to this story?” Sherlock said in a low, “fancy” voice in your ear and you couldn’t help but let out a snort at his attempt to be regal.

“I sincerely hope Elizabeth slaps Mr. Darcy across the face after what he said about her family. If that does not happen, the story dies there.”

“Would you slap every man who offends you? Because if so I’ll brace for one now.” Sherlock was actually joking for once but you slapped his chest lightly with your hand and let it fall, playing with a button on his waist coat. He looked down at you, a curl from the top of his head falling onto his forehead with a spring and you smiled at the handsome man you curled up against. 

“Perhaps.”

Sherlock laid a lingering kiss on your forehead and opened the book, removing the leaf that served at the bookmark and began reading in total comfort with you beside him. It was perfect until a rumble came from the bush and Enola shot up with sticks in her hair.

“So you ARE together!?”

One last set of thoughts on miner!Silco

There is one more thing I wanted to mention about miner!Silco.

1.) I general while I personally have fun obsessing over canon details and "make as much match as possible!!!" I do think that there is limited value in fandom wankery and obsessing over it, especially when it comes to writing fanfic as opposed to having meta debates with other people.

2.) I do think reading writer or actor input is fun, but part of me does consider "cheating" to some extent. I think the work should stand on its own and plenty of those things can change later, different people on the project can have different opinions etc. Overall I think what ends up on screen always trumps what somebody said in some interview and if there is limited value in obsessively matching every little detail that ended up on screen or in extended works, I think there is even less value in matching some writer's idea.

For example, Amanda has hinted several times that Caitlyn was plenty romantically active before meeting Vi and I'm very much "headcanon accepted", because I personally believed in that anyway (one of my first "activities" in the fandom was whining how I hated the whole "sexual awaking" memes about the CaitVi brothel scenes and that it made no sense for Cait's character as she had been drawn so far to have been clueless about her sexuality). But if I was invested in let's say asexual or autistic or socially awkward or virginal Cait I would have been all for just ignoring that statement. I'm happy to include it in my perception of the character, because it gels with my perception of the character I had anyway.

When it comes to miner!Silco respectively child!laborer!Silco it's not as clean cut.

I'm not sure if I ever would have come to it naturally? I definitely don't think I was there yet after Act 1. There is definitely a world where Act 2/3 Silco reads quite middle class and if you wanted to explain his line to Finn (again if you even care about making all things match) you could still envision him as a more middle-class guy who went down to the mines to convert/recruit people to the revolution.

His outfit in the drowning flashback reads a little bit more potentially miner/miner-roots to me and I don't think that anything that made it on screen reads heavily suggests child laborer.

The reason why I'm at least open to this head canon is:

1.) I do quite like Silco and child laborer is a tragic as fuck backstory and gives a lot of "pity points" in his favor. Which actually is one of the reasons why I would never force that headcanon on others. Like if you hate Silco and see everything about him as bad then "you can't be pissy at a poor abused and traumatized kid from the mines!" is a pretty brutal restriction on your meta/your view on seeing the series. But for me personally it gives his character an extra tragic note and gives some interesting nuance to the "children working in factories". That he might see that as "well, still better than what happened to me". And just in general it might give explanations or again nuance for a lot of his quirks (why is he such an atypical parent, why does he care about fine things, because he was used to them or because they are so completely special and unusual to him? why is he so brutal/unforgiving/go hard on things maybe because he comes from a very brutal background?)

Like on the tragic background scale only "sexually abused as a child" and "neurodivergent to the point of not functioning" are maybe higher in regards to "okay, you get a moral free pass for like 90% of your actions".

2.) In my view on the world, coming from the mines and becoming a revolutionary is definitely (even) better/more honorable than being middle class and "going down to free the slaves". Because the achievement to overcome those personal obstacles, to still find time and educate yourself and think big picture in such adversarial circumstances when you would most likely not have received that much education along those lines and might have been exhausted from work, that in my eyes takes somebody who is truly extraordinary.

So I'm more tempted towards accepting miner!Silco because in my value system it is a better/more glorious/more heroic background and so on some level it is more glamorous even as "growing up in dirt and sludge and abuse" background isn't glamorous in the slightest. The background isn't romantic/glamorous but that Silco might rise to overcome it is.

But again, I don't blame anyone for not going "headcanon accepted" particularly if they dislike Silco or if he just reads differently to you (or if you don't share my romantic views about overcoming huge adversity and freeing yourself and your direct peers as opposed to freeing the ones less fortunate). And I wouldn't like fall over in horror if in season 2 they backtrack on what Amanda said and a scene makes on screen that suggests that he had a relatively happy and sheltered home life before becoming a revolutionary or that he had more a "wild and free street kids in the Lanes" rather than "back breaking child laborer". If that made it on screen, I would just absorb that into my perception of him.

So I definitely see it more as "something fun to play around with" and I do think that anybody who is quite skeptical and hasn't really gone beyond "Silco interacted with the mines at some point in some way due to the Finn line" is being very sensible.
