"I know what you are."

The hero froze, eyes widening ever so slightly—there and gone in a fraction of a second, but just enough to give everything away, to hand the villain the victory on a silver platter.

“No,” the hero finally breathed, fumbling for the right words. How? How did you figure it out?

The villain grinned, teeth bared triumphantly. “That’s right. I know your dirty little secret. I know what would happen if you took that bracelet off.” They nodded towards the engraved metal band circling the hero’s wrist, which the hero quickly jerked behind their back.

“You—,” the hero bit out, “you had no fucking right—,”

“I can do whatever I want, actually" the villain interrupted lazily, unbothered. “But it seems like you can’t.”

The hero tensed as the villain’s dark gaze raked over them, somehow degrading and reverent all at the same time, as if they were a piece of artwork to be studied, a finely polished marble statue, a honed weapon waiting to be used—

Everything suddenly clicked into place. “No.” The hero stumbled back, knees buckling.

The enclosed environment of the back alley. The dead end behind them. The lack of usual physicality from the villain other than to disarm them. They were a predator playing with their prey, waiting to pounce, to keep the hero all to themselves.

The villain stepped forward. The hero flinched back. “Stay away,” they spat. “Don’t touch me.”

“Or what?” the villain teased, continuing their casual approach. “What will you do, hero?"

Nothing, I can't do anything. The hero hit the wall behind them. God, how could they have been so stupid? To believe the villain's letter, the threat that they were about to blow up a museum without even looking up the location of the meeting spot. The villain had anticipated that the hero's ego would get to them, that they wouldn't call for reinforcements or bring anything more than a gun, because even with the cuff on their skin—

"You thought you were safe," the villain said, as if they could read the hero's thoughts. They stopped a short arm's length away from them, just far enough to give the hero the false illusion that they had some semblance of control in this matter.

It was cruel. Wicked. The hero squeezed their eyes shut as undiluted power hurled through them, roaring in protest, stifled only by the carved mage runes around their wrist.

"Look at you," the villain murmured. The hero felt fingers curl around their throat, cold and possessive. Their hands clenched into fists at their sides.

They could fight back. They could shove the villain and run and get out of here—

"You're scared, aren't you?"

The hero's eyes snapped open as their breathing stuttered in answer, meeting the villain's assessing stare.

"So scared, of all that power." The villain's finger shifted under the hero's jaw, to their racing pulse. "Power that people would die for. Kill for. And you," the villain's hand tightened just slightly, "you suppress it and refuse to use it, because how could you? How could you be the very thing that you seek to destroy?"

The hero snarled, the sound not entirely human. "I said don't touch me!" They wrenched out of the villain's grasp, bolting down the alleyway in a desperate, mad dash for some kind of exit, anything—

The villain grabbed their wrist and pulled them back, pining their arm behind them and shoving them up against the wall.

The hero hissed between their teeth as their shoulder twisted at an uncomfortable angle. "I'm...I'm not yours," they gasped in between ragged pants. They strained against the villain. "I will never be yours. Will you just fuck off—,"

The villain yanked on their arm in warning and they shut up, grimacing.

"I don't want you, little hero." The villain words were a lethal caress in their ear. "I want what you have." Their hand trailed over the metal clamp on their wrist, and the hero felt howling magic shudder through them. "But most unfortunately for you, I can't just take it from you. So instead," the villain smiled again, stamping a seal on the hero's fate, "you're going to come with me."

The hero was only granted the courtesy of a shudder before the villain knocked them out cold.

here's the prick i was talking about^ i have so many thoughts and notes about him but they're mostly incomprehensible so when i organize maybe them i'll post them who knows

#art #oc #id in alt #um ummm #idk. if you have any questions as always feel free to ask #ANYWAYS. geez making him has been so fun i love this asshole so much i'm going to put him through the horrors #salute to you Kordian if you see this if you hadn't shown me stalker i probably wouldn't be running in circles about patches now #more notes. i actually have no idea how magic works in-universe i just thought it would be cool. he's not good at using it he sucks. he's #shocked himself so many times probably. will that stop him? no #he practiced fencing for a few years so he actually like. knows how the fight flows or whatever. i think he definitely picks out targets wh #don't get their bearings quite as well and dances around them and shit like that he just likes to be mean i guess #idk idk. also he joins the lovelies at one point. that's like. semi-canon. it's sorta like with triumphant and normal walenty to me. like #they both exist but the. so to speak. evil one kind of doesn't in a way if you get me. i mostly thought it would be a fun thing to think #about. and also patches would do that and then he'd freak out like what the fuck am i doing and leave #another random thing about his pronouns. well i mostly use he/him for him. that 'any' is more in a way that if you referred to patches as #she or they or it or anything else he wouldn't care #but he usually doesn't mention it and stuff

Think I need to post fic a bit less frequently tbh. The paucity of comments in comparison to how much and how frequently I write is getting me down.

Nobody owes me comments (and possibly slowing down will help me improve the quality of my work so I earn more comments naturally) and it's not like I don't get comments - I get more comments in this fandom than basically any other fandom I've been in. But obsessing over comments and stats is getting me down, precisely *because* this is such an active fandom in comparison to most of my previous ones.

I feel like I should be getting more comments than I do, and then I wonder if my work just isn't that good, but I also know that like. People have lives and don't have the brain space to comment on everything!! And maybe I overwhelm people with how much/how frequently I post if ppl do actually want to keep up with what I'm writing

Anyway idk I just felt like making a post about this because it's been playing on my mind today/recently. I'm definitely not gonna stop posting/writing fic! I'm just gonna...try and chill a bit.

#my writing #also like. i still have so many ideas but #the fantasising the fic part of writing i do (which is the main 'planning' for fic that i do) #is coming less and less easily #which in turn makes it harder/less fun to write and makes it feel like my writing doesn't flow as well #anyway whatever feel free to ignore my ramblings haha #just wanted to get it out. without being a little bitch or blaming anyone for it

i'm really enjoying pathologic 2, actually. i mean, i didn't think i wouldn't enjoy it as much as i was worried it would just, i don't know, muddy the water. and maybe it will, but i'm not really bothered by that anymore. that said, i do think patho 2 took a fairly unsubtle game and increased its unsubtlety by about tenfold.

well. calling og pathologic 'unsubtle' doesn't feel quite right, but i'm not sure what word would feel right. maybe it's 'distinct in its sensibilities'. I think og patho felt more obtuse, whereas patho 2 is like. here. take it. do you get it. here is the information. do you see the themes. i am announcing them to you in such a way that you know that i am saying something thematic. i'm not far enough into the main story of 2 to be able to say that there's less reading between the lines, but it feels very much so far like there's less reading between the lines. whereas the original had a somewhat different... i don't know, affect? it felt like a hostile workplace where everyone recited shakespeare about even the mundane. in patho 2 nothing feels mundane in the first place, everything feels loaded in a way that og patho was but didn't feel, if that makes sense.

but i think that's okay. at the very least, it feels very much like leaning into the 'theater' aspect of it, which is enjoyable. pathologic 2 feels to me more like... bonus content? not to be Stuck Up For Pathologic HD but i enjoyed the feeling of grinding my face against a cinderblock, having to tease out information and conclusions. it felt like a game that you had to figure out, but you actually weren't really doing any ground-level figuring out of much; you're not a doctor, your character is, so the puzzle of Solving the Plague belongs to The Story, whereas the question of What the FUCK is This Town's Deal is your job. it's a very linear game in most respects, but all three playthroughs come through as a thematic package deal.

i so far get the impression that pathologic 2 can be played on its own and be enjoyed in its own right! however it exists to me as like. director's commentary. i'm really liking the playing with different character relationships and alternate things, the expanding of steppe language and the kin, love my worm guys, but i like it because of how it enriches my eternal mind rotation of og pathologic. sorry guys i played the original pathologic and it broke me and remade me in its image. sorry.

#sorry to be the quintessential 'guy who played pathologic and now doesn't stop thinking about pathologic' #i'm having a lot of fun trying all of the different things in marble nest though #i do worry in general that the inclusion of sprinting and fast travel will really fuck up my flow #the walking feels SO much slower now so while i was content to plod along in the original i feel like there's not a middle ground #so it feels a bit contrary to it all that i'm sprinting everywhere and just chugging bottles of water and calling it good #though at the very least it does seem like it will take some of the weight off of the 'route planning' aspect of the original #which was. honestly a load bearing part of... gestures vaguely #and i understand why people don't like it! i think that's a very reasonable thing to not like #having a game on a time limit that requires you to walk slowly across the map multiple times #i don't know what brainworms it activated in me but i quite enjoy it #on paper i should not like this game but here we are #that's not true. i play a lot of Bad To Play games for the story. #but 'guy who has no sense of time' playing 'time limit: the game' is... well i'm not arguing at the results #so that's my main Thing that i 'dislike' but even that word is too strong #i don't dislike it as much as i am keenly aware that i will have to play the game differently and i Don't Like Change lmao #that said these are preliminary impressions as i'm only about 4-5ish hours into the main game #pathologic

ANYWAYS i was rly stressed last language day so i didn't rly post but! i'm going to translate one of my fave finnish songs i just think could kinda fit misclickduo in some ways >:)

so here's the song

Here goes the translation under read more (i did my best)

Song name: Worse than one another

(verse 1)

Neither one of us is nor has ever been golden

Even though we let people assume so

Didn't notice at all

How we are in debt

Until just now, as our noses

Are being pressed into it

(pre-chorus 1)

Both better than the other

Knew each phase

Bowed to the image in the mirror

(chorus)

Worse than one another, both of them are

And how they're killing eachother now

Blindly repeating the same sentence

How they are right in this

Uglier than one another, both deeds

And they cannot be undone

Don't they notice, both of them are

only worse than one another

(verse 2)

Certain of power and with such damn proud

Expressions on our faces we fell

Being reborn

Doesn't happen outside of songs

When everyone is left with

The bills for their amusements

(pre-chorus 2)

The king without a scepter, as is the queen

Still they bow to their mirrors

(chorus again)

(bridge)

There's no way to get it cut

Nothing more useless even exists

Only noticing when someone says something

That they want to hear

Doesn't even matter if it's true

Justifying wasting what is most precious to them

(chorus)

#qsmp #qsmp misclick duo #slimeriana #slimecicle #el mariana #misclick duo #translating is pretty hard so it's not exactly perfect xdd #maybe doesn't flow too well in places #if i took more creative liberties i maybe could've improved it but i went with pretty direct translation whenever i felt it could work #anyways i hope someone even checks this out xd #technically that last line in finnish is more like 'wasting their most precious' but it just doesn't feel right in english #would need like. a noun there #anyways i like translating #Youtube

ep 9 notes

haven't checked the tag yet, need to sort through / document my thoughts first.

i'm a bit... disappointed, i guess? but i think that's owed to my expectations. after a week of collective theorizing i was (not so) secretly hoping for a sauruman VS gandalf style face off and so what we got felt a bit... pedestrian?

so i guess the gardener did hurt him after all, just not the 'shears-in-your-body' kind of inury? i honestly thought he'd stick to stalking.

speaking of which, i'll be disappointed if it's really garden dude using nayeon and not the other way round. nayeon being skilled in black magic and just using / playing men left and right to reach her own various ends and satisfy her needs would have elevated the character immensely. feels a bit disrespectful tbh.

speaking of disrespect, i suspected as much, but still... how can they have the mother not know? like honestly? how can her asshole husband tell the woman his son just broke up with about the illness but not his wife? i reeeaaally want hj to hex him... like, make him step on a lego everyday of his life. or have shampoo get into his eyes. something like that.

back in ep. 3 when sy saw hj in the dress and just last episode, we focused on his right hand. same happend during the proposal scene in ep. 5 and yesterday in the hospital with nayeon. i guess that holds significance?

were sy and ny ever intimate with each other?

i liked how they filmed the nightmare hj had.

also, how ambigious jg still feels. though i'm leaning towards ally who hasn't realized yet that he missed his shot. (also, does jg know the mayor is dirty? the mayor is dirty, right? playing footsie with the haum ceo? is that why he poached sy? to take on the mayor? and if he doesn't know, doesn't that just really undercut his character?)

did garden dude hit sy with some magic to make him black out? did that magic bring back his past memories? i thought he remembered when he woke up in the hospital.

but then i really don't understand the artistic decision process behind the scene in front of the hospital. that scene made (makes) me think i must be mistaken? how can he remember loving / killing her 300 years ago and the first thing he asks about is the in house messenger? (yeah, i know, he wanted her to go back on her word...) but even if he wanted to not let on, where were the longing / pining / loving eyes from last episode? the whole thing just felt very bland and weird.

also, poor rowoon. they obvs. didn't find hospital pants long enoug for him.

also, pls. don't push sick / hospitalized people. you don't know what tubes / needles they have sticking in or out of them. drama writers, find other ways to initiate physical touch. (just as lazy as drunk alley dude in ep 2).

i cared about ma and go for the first time. that scene was funny. i don't appreciate that once again show insinuates that a man is needed to keep a home in order, but since ma is freshly divorced it is plausible. for a moment i thought he was gonna choke her out or pass out himself. lol

also, re the hug, 'what kind of man asks that beforehand?'. the kind that respects boundaries and gives you the chance to say no? uncool ma, uncool show.

i guess no tentative friendships at work, but passive-aggressiveness?

loved the fireworks and the traditional music. was my favourite part of the episode. that slapped. wished they would have kept that music for the romantic scene.

there's still the option that him wholeheartedly embracing his feelings for hj brought upon the past memories. in which case that must be one long-ass hug. still, i'd prefer that scenario over the hospital-dream one. embracing his feelings because he remembers cheapens it a bit imo. its prob. the latter though seeing how he asked his mom about past lives.

his parents' bickering is getting on my nerves.

this episode felt really disjointed. i understand the cuts / edits were to not reveal too much, but at this point i'm just really annoyed by it.

for that reason bridge scene didn't have the impact it prob. should have had since i wasn't really sure what was going on?

spell scene too short, dress not as strange / pretty. but loved the music. also, what spell did she use? seduction?

i liked the child actors surprisingly much. i liked it even more that already as a child she had shaman capabilities.

i know tall people fall in love too, but man those hugs looked uncomfortable.

there's many other thoughts in my head but lastly: i guess only him remembers the past out of the two of them. i don't like that. at all. after 8 episodes it finally felt like they were on somewhat even footing when it came to knowledge about magic, spells, curses.... having only him remember once again means he knows more and is the proactive one, whereas she is only reacting and being driven by him. (but, if only him remembers, how can we as an audience see the things that only she can know? being brought to the shaman as a child? her premunition of the bloody hand?)

on that note, i hope the next kiss is initiated by hj. would be nice to see her express her desires / feelings. 3 kisses in and it's always him planting one on her. reciprocity is hot!! gimme gimme gimme!

#destined with you #ramblings #zippy can't zip it #stream of consciousness #free flow #i like this writing exercise #might need to keep this for other things #episode 9 and still more questions #i couldn't help but feel the writer doesn't like women very much? #like some decisions just felt really disrespectful #bordering on misogynistic #saving grace is that the dudes are unsympathetic as well #poor wookie #shin-yu was really harsh #but he wanted to see his women #needs to do it in secret though cause technically he's still two-timing #also rowoon looked huge in the crowd-shots on the bridge #did hong-jo's hair change? #it did no? #i wish we could have seen a bit more of her falling for him #i really want a hong-jo / nayeon and shin-yu / haum ceo showdown

Fuck is going on with Cymru by the way seems an absolute mess. Of course we knew there was going to be a drop off post bale while the team re established itself but you'd have thought they'd at least have a plan? It's like Bale was the only thing holding them together ffs. Page seems to have completely given up, got four goalkeepers but no established no.1, called up morrell and Moore despite them being suspended for the qualifier match instead of trying out some new players no wonder they're struggling to sell tickets.

#i know they have a friendly as well which i assume morrell and moore can play but surely that makes it an even better time to test some new #players #I'm not even saying that as part of my call up Collins agenda because he doesn't actually deserve it at the moment but surely you could #bring up some youth chat up some begrudged high level championship player who qualifies through a grandparent do something #i suppose the world cup performance was a sign of what was to come it kind of feels like their one aim was to get to the world cup and they #did that and lost all motivation #which is sort of to be expected and of course talent ebbs and flows particularly in a small country but still there feels like a failure of #development and scouting that there are so few options #wales nt

[lucyvsky]

i truly think fall out boy are the only band in the entire world who understand how to do song transitions on albums like they fucking get it

#they do this dance between songs that have no transition at all (intentionally) as a form of contrast but then will have songs lead #into eachother through little chords at the end. the subtlety in those transitions is so brilliant like it doesn't feel like you're missing #something if you don't listen to it in order but is rather complimented by listening to it in order. the spoken interludes and transitions #add so much to the next song but also function really well as closings for the last song and rarely ever have the issue of two songs #needing to be listened in order so it doesn't feel awkward (probably 20$ nosebleed and west coast smoker / favorite record + immortals #are the only ones who fall into this issue) #but you look at the song transitions on folie a deux and they work so well and it's actually fantastic! like i saw that post about the #abruptness of the disloyal order -> i don't care transition and why it works so well and its crazy how well all of the transitions like #that on the album work as well as they do but also transitions like the america's suitehearts -> headfirst slide function ridiculously well #there's just so much mastery in the way the songs are all fitted together and i think about it a lot #yknow. there's albums where the flow is supposed to be impeccable i mean like. the cosmic game is one of my favorite albums of all time #but i think fall out boy and folie specifically do it really interestingly by constantly having these high contrast songs that cut #each other off flow into other songs that are completely different thematically. folie is like. an album that is unsure of itself #in the most perfect way . even the instrumentation on many of the lead outs where it doesn't fit into the next album but it reminds #you of previous songs endings and instrumentation in general is like .ouh #uh. sorry for the excessively long tags

when other people in their 30s say they feel lost in their life/don't know what their purpose is/feel nervous abt life: ur gonna be fine babe I ❤️ you and you are fine this world is a hell hole and we are all doing our best you are fine you are valid ❤️

when I try to apply the same things to myself:

#things are going good! they're great! and I am fine! #I think the worst part of all this is not actually having the ability to control like allllll this shit #like the shit happening in my life very much is also just kinda... happening to everyone. #wages are too low. impossibly low. hustle culture has rotted ppl's brains. healthcare is unattainable for real in this country. #but also like on my own personal end like this is so stupid but #not beingn able to actually write anything is kinda killing me #writing used to be what I'd turn to when I was so overwhelmed with it all #to have fun and decompress and not think abt that shit and how it feels like I'm living through the collapse of an empire #but now like. lmao besties. I opened my laptop last night for the first time in over a week #and besties. friends. countrymen. it did not go well. #I could not make myself focus on that shit for ANYTHING #I have lost 1000% my ability to write. and it fuckin KILLS me. it's KILLING ME. I am being KILLED. #like I sat there and could peck out a couple sentences and then my brain would be like #ok but no do something else now this doesn't sound good this isn't flowing right booo watch reruns #and I KNOW that the answer to this is oh focus anyway baby steps turn off the tv! #but the thing is I cannot write without the tv I can't it's NOT happening for a bevy of reasons #but also no matter how much I tell my brain like ok no focus now #it doesn't happen #do you know how much this is killing me #normally I can force myself to do shit. I forced myself to quit SMOKING. #I hate this shit it is making me severely unwell and insane and unstable and mad and depressed #and obv unhinged look at these tags #erin explains it all

Come on Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack, give me the inspiration to work out this plot hole 🙏

#this soundtrack has served me so well since i got into this fandom omg #wrong century but it doesn't matter. it just gets the inspiration flowing #i could always try the princess mononoke soundtrack too. or the two towers #i feel like i'm working out a gigantic knot in a muscle jfc. but it's slowly getting there!! #also sometimes you just gotta be okay with writing a 'somehow palpatine survived'

Theoretically, how does one get a professor fired

#my psychology prof will be the death of me #she's so fucking misogynistic and annoying #like nevermind public AND VERY DETAILED description of sex in front of people she KNOWS have minors among them #nevermind thinking herself entitled to 'give us advice how to have better sex' #nevermind the fact that she constantly talks about relationships & relationships advice #constant FLOW of misogyny #and misogynistic talks I've not knows women could spew #(as well as ableistic and homophobic talks 24/7 but that's to be expected) #SHE DOESN'T FUCKING FOLLOW CURRICULUM #she never checks homework and never discusses the topic #she just comes in and starts telling her personal anecdotes which almost exclusively pander to men #this is a female-dominated class we also have two males #I feel like this is so fucking intentional #i hate her so much

i will forever be fascinated with doctor who, i hope that never changes

#shut up danni #im in big dw brainrot mode because i am analysing everything abt the characters #its so interesting to see the way that character development happens in this show because it really does flow so naturally #and the parts where it doesn't you can really see that they twisted things for the plot #and/or its easy to tell that it was written by someone who didn't understand the characters well enough #every companion goes on a different character development and the doctor is usually a big influence on them #and its so clear to see how sometimes the doctor is a good influence and sometimes its a very bad one and sometimes its both #AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT!!!! #a lot of the doctor's character development arcs are all about how they treat their companions #and it pushes them to change their behaviour and they grow #and it always feels so natural if a doctor starts out v grumpy and rude they'll slowly soften and their behaviour changes #i just-- #im forever gonna love this show even in its low areas #and i hope that they'll continue to go in a direction that i like because i always get sad when they don't rip #anyways nearly done w season 8!!! #just two more seasons until i get back to my girl!!!!

[gachaparadise]

I've been doing interludes lately (as you do during an interlude campaign) and the gap in quality and character analysis is insane sometimes. I did Qsh and Nezha's back to back and... Night and day over here. Qsh's was so charming and showed me a new side of my beloved moth, as well as some really cute gap moe moments. Nezha's was boring, hardly focussed on them at all, and made the same tired jokes about their gender over and over... Even the blurb on their profile you get after it's complete does it orz

#also the writing for Nezha's was like... bad. it felt stiff and didn't flow at all #not the content (though that was bad also) the actual writing #i went to read that one specifically because i was curious about what Nezha's pronouns were orz... #because im hot overly familiar with them and the one thing i do recall about them is when we first meet them- #they remark on how their body isn't what they expected and are... upset i believe? it was a while ago aha... #i just recall them pretty distinctly not being cool with the fact they have a female body now #i wanted to know if they came arpund to itor if they wanted to be refered to as a man but okay #tasteless jokes about how gender makes them uncomfortable is fine to i guess #anyway! for now until further notice i guess Nezha is stuck with the old reliable they/them because genuinely i have no idea how they feel #i know their profile uses she/her but... pretty sure Mordred's does that as well and he obviously doesn't use those #whatever i guess!! don't know why i expected an even remotely nuances take from fgo who cares lets talk about my moth!!! #i love how they have a whole backup plan in case we fail like yes king restart SIN you're a genius babygirl 💕 #seriously so cute i love them #i dunno if i can resist grailing them to 100 next tiem we have an ember campaign #i put it off so far since i dont use them much gameplay wise but... moth good #these tags got away from me woops #game: fate grand order #post: chatter #sorry about the typos that I'm sure are there btw I'm on mobile and you can't re-edit tags without retyping them yet...
