yeah me too! my friends and I actually do have some plans of streaming together, so that should be fun... if we ever stop procrastinating 😆

a whole week?? wow that's some top notch commitment 👏

props to you guys lmaoo

I hope to see the fnaf movie soon, but the 5 of us can't settle on a date so it's tricky :/

hopefully soon we can actually watch it tho lol

unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a romance mod for Mr. qi yet 😕 😞

im half tempted to attempt making my own, but I dropped coding agess ago lmao.. don't know where I'd start 😅

altho I think if i were to make one, he'd not move in w the farmer. idk he just doesn't seem the type. he's got the vibes of rich hubby on vacation who sends you stuff.. that might just be me tho lol

speaking of, may I request nsfw mr. qi headcanons with an ftm! reader?

tysm :]

-🔮

A/N:omfg? Idk how I didn’t see this until now I’m no sorry! I hope you’ve gotten to see the movie by now especially with how many spoilers are on EVERY app. If you ever do make the mod let me know! I wanted to get back into coding but then remembered that I actually hated it so unfortunately I can’t. I do wanna try to make a game in itch.io(is that the website for the games?) that is the choose your own adventure fic that I’m writing but I don’t know how i would even do it. Also agree with the rich hubby thing. I don’t think he would ever actually settle down ANYWHERE. like he’d be home like 2 days out of the week at most.

Tw:Sexual content! Cursing

ALSO idk if this should go under warnings, but I would also like to say that I am not trans myself, so if I write something that’s inaccurate or offensive make sure to let me know, I’m trying my best to write from that pov I just wanted to….warn? Let you know? Like I do not mind writing this at all(no transphobes allowed) I just want to make sure that I’m writing/understanding well!!

Wc: 30 bullet points

Sdv Masterlist

Also fucking and making love are two DIFFERENT things

I 100 percent believe that gender identity doesn’t matter to Mr.Qi at ALL.

I also think he doesn’t care about bottom/top surgery at ALL

Like he is a fan of mystery, of the unknown that’s what he likes, and he likes people that also have those interests, or people that make him interested in a similar way.

(I think he would be pansexual? Demisexual?)

So in his mind he knows that you have nothing to worry about. He also knows that emotions don’t follow logic half of the time and that your nerves can’t be dispelled just by him saying that you have nothing to worry about.

So he shows you.

Depending on if you’re a romantic/sentimental person or not he does different things

Like would set up and entire display with roses and everything, music playing and snacks to make you feel loved and comfortable

but if you’re not the type of person to like that sort of thing he would probably do something more chaotic like a scavenger hunt for you throughout the day(which arguably could be seen as more romantic) that leads you on a wild goose chase and allows him to set something up at home(your home but like whatever)

Making love to him is very sweet. He tries to keep the teasing to a minimum

By minimum I mean he only teases in the beginning, and not how he usually would. Would probably edge you for a little just to make your first orgasm mind blowing then would get on with it.

He does slow his pace down for love making because it’s more…spiritual(?) like it’s an exchange of love and it’s not only for pleasure y’know. It’s literally to express how you feel for each other.

NOW FUCKING IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT THING

I do think he would be on the more dominant side, preferring to tease and take control, coaxing out things you didn’t know you had within you

Will let you take control though

He is a man of curiosity

Wonders how you will behave when given a dominant position

Doesn’t refuse anything you want to do, but is mischievous the entire time. Has a stupid smirk on his face that makes you think that you have absolutely no control.

Idk if it’s magic or what but always does SOMETHING to make everything more sensitive.

Is VERY into blindfolding

Wants genuine reactions without self consciousness getting in the way.

Good/smart/naughty boy are a part of his vernacular and he will use it only when you’re too fucked out to react to him saying it in any other way than incoherent whining.

Probably into shibari and likes to be tied up and tying you up.

Blindfolds + shibari is a normal night ngl.

The glasses stay on during sex idc

He makes sure by the end of it that both of you are sweaty and out of breath

Likes having sex in different locations with a tiny bit of risk. Like he doesn’t want the two of you to get caught

But he wonders what would happen if you did…

The sexual experience with him is always a good one somehow even when he wants to try out weird kinks.

donnie darko - the best movie i’ve ever seen. such an interesting depiction of mental health. it’s interesting fuck the director though he’s a dumbass.

prisoners - THE movie to recommend people. idk anyone who has watched it and hated it. it’s so fucking good . tbh jake is like the least interesting part of the movie he’s pretty ugly. paul dano is the goat. the best movie i’ve seen revolving around some mystery. always on my toes always scared. when u think you know u end up being wrong. it gets u.

zodiac - he’s so cute in this movie and that’s as good as it gets. it’s good for one viewing and that’s IT. it’s very interesting has good sequences. but it’s so damn long. i guess if u wanna argue that it wants u to FEEL how they felt waiting so long trying to catch the zodiac killer id say sure fine but also they never even catch him so what’s the point of the movie. idk.

brokeback mountain - no comment

nocturnal animals - this movie is absolutely insane in the worst way. the two main characters r fuxking deranged. jake’s character is deranged for being like that. his weird revenge thing is so strange and it’s uncomfortable. i didn’t get it i didn’t like it i wouldn’t watch again.

enemy - this fucking movie…. idk how i sat thru it all actually. i’m proud of myself but i didn’t need to put myself thru that. jake is so boring in this. the movie itself is so fucking boring. it’s so weird. it’s so ugly. it looks like shit and it’s shot like shit and i don’t get why bc it’s a denis movie. maybe i’m not smart enough to get it but it sucked dick AND balls.

the guilty - okay. i know this movie isn’t very good. but i watched it and was entertained. it rlly is something you’d catch on the tv while ur at the dentist and get rlly invested in the 30 minutes ur in the waiting room. its nothing life changing but i had a good time

ambulance - HWHSJFJJDJAJAJS. the worst shit i’ve ever fucking seeeeeen. it’s hilarious tho . watch it drunk otherwise u might be bored out of ur mind. this movie is so insanely shot. i remember the billion drone shots. i remember the spleen burst. i remember the goofy shots they did of jake. idk how it got made. idk how jake is in it.

brothers - this movie… isn’t BAD…. i think? it made me uncomfortable. which yeah. that’s the point. but like the scene of tobey like being captured whatever . idk enough about anything but was that offensive in some way? let me know… it felt strange . the movie tho is super hard to watch. it’s cringey and scary. i wanna rewatch to get my full thoughts on it because it was awhile ago . great acting tho.

end of watch - Stupid baka fucking movie. i made my mom rent this shit and im sorry i wasted 4 of ur hard earned dollars. this movie is worth nothing. it’s so racist to mexicans. it’s embarrassing. like the main guy is mexicans and it does all that cringe cholo shit it made me want to claw my eyes out and never watch another movie again.

the covenant - GEHHRDHHFHRHSJZJFJRJEJ the most boring movie of all these honestly. i think i almost fell asleep. jake is in too many military movies actually holy shit. don’t watch this one at all lmfao .

jarhead - this one is the most interesting military movie he’s in but it’s also graphically one of the worst so beware. it rlly doesn’t hold back with trying to be gross and bad. and i understand why. but it does make it hard to watch. it’s shot rlly well though. and the acting is great.

demolition - OH BROTHHERRRRR. i thought this movie would be worth something because it’s one of those u see a lot of clips of online. it’s genuinely so stupid tho. i can barely remember the plot but i just remember it made no sense. ppl keep getting jake for these insane characters except it’s just dumb as shit.

october sky - this is a cute fun movie you’d watch in middle school ^_^! cute little time!!! and it has laura dern so what’s not to like!! maybe a little boring to some tho.

#captain’s log #excluding spiderman cuz i don’t wanna talk about that bull.#i could talk about each movie far more than this but … i’ll be easy on u guys #also it’s been awhile since i’ve seen majority of these #id love to like . pick apart each one like talking about specific scenes and such #but like i said. i watched these awhile ago #notice how most of them r shit

Dave Strider, Roxy Lalonde, Dirk Strider, Karkat Vantas

Meat, page 32

DAVE: yo

DAVE: love to chat but im kinda in the middle of something

ROXY: yo yourself but this is important

DAVE: uhhh

DAVE: more important than salvaging the global economy from potential disaster??

DAVE: sounds hugely unlikely

ROXY: idk about that

ROXY: in terms of scale and relativity and stuff maybe not

ROXY: its actually kinda hard to tell

ROXY: i guess in the grand scheme of things

ROXY: shes just takin a sort of nap

ROXY: but its one HELL of a nap bro

DAVE: a nap you say

DAVE: well this changes the fuck out of everything

ROXY: grim spirits n shit

DAVE: is she fucking grimbark again

ROXY: no!

ROXY: this isnt grimbark

ROXY: i KNOW what grimbark is dave this aint it

ROXY: it seems more serious tbh??

ROXY: like existing in some transformative state that isnt a literal fuckin joke

DAVE: ok yeah this does sound pretty bad

DAVE: but its not really my field

DAVE: did you try calling rose

ROXY: yea that was totes my original plan

ROXY: like no offense ur not #1 on my speed dial when it comes to this kinda thing

ROXY: i called an unruly number of times

ROXY: and kan wasnt picking up either so...

DAVE: huh

ROXY: its gone

ROXY: its givin me chills rn like im being watched

DAVE: well im no fucking ace detective

DAVE: or some gumshoe flatfoot dicking up the place suckin hard on my sherlock pipe like some sleuth of the fucking year

ROXY: dave

DAVE: but maybe we should consider the possibility that you are literally being watched

ROXY: ..............

DAVE: anyway can we hold that wise and rad thought i just had

DAVE: i gotta give karkat some emotional support

DAVE: since gettin jake on our side was a pretty huge fucking bonanza for us

DAVE: which has almost equal probability of winning us the election as it does blowing up in our faces depending on this speech he gives

DAVE: so we gotta like

DAVE: concentrate here?????

DAVE: instead of jerking each other off all god damned day for the rest of our lives

DAVE: (im just joking we dont actually do that)

ROXY: oh

ROXY: jakes on ur side then?

DAVE: yeah

DAVE: wasnt that hard to convince him after your girl j crock started slut shaming him on public access

ROXY: god dammit jane

DAVE: so i take it jade didnt convert you to our cause before going into her gothic trance fugue or whatever

ROXY: siiigh

ROXY: i just want this whole stupid political thing over n done with tbh

ROXY: i hate watchin u guys tear each other apart in the news

DAVE: yeah sorry about that

DAVE: sorry its making you feel bad i mean

DAVE: not sorry that were doin it

DAVE: itd be an unconscionably lame move to put something on a billboard that i didnt 100% stand by

DAVE: but that sounds suspiciously like something jane would do

DAVE: aka the bad guy in this situation

DAVE: like objectively speaking

ROXY: ugh pls dont start

DAVE: just sayin

ROXY: idgAF!!!

DAVE: also

DAVE: aside from how vehemently i disagree with every detail in janes shitty platform

DAVE: i also think

DAVE: karkats the right guy for the job

DAVE: full stop

ROXY: you rly believe in him dont u

DAVE: yeah

DAVE: of course i do

DAVE: because i...

ROXY: hey before you jet can i ask you another question

ROXY: theres somethin else ive been meanin to ask u about for a while

DAVE: uh alright shoot

ROXY: yea soooo

ROXY: dave how did you come out

DAVE: ...

DAVE: what?

ROXY: like as not being straight

ROXY: howd you couch that to ppl w/o them freakin out or being awkward around u

ROXY: do u think its ever too late to

ROXY: idk

ROXY: change ur mind?

ROXY: about the person you wanna be??

ROXY: like is there a some point of no return you can cross where everyone is waitin for u to have a big ass revelation about your internal character

ROXY: but its like “dude no u already used up all ur gay capital when u started datefriend cohabitating w a cute as hell skeleton alien”

ROXY: and anything after that ur just gettin greedy

ROXY: is greedy even the right word

ROXY: greedy for droppin bombshells

ROXY: bout gender identities and sexual preferences

ROXY: or ids n preffies as i like to call em ;)

DAVE: ids n preffies

DAVE: damn

DAVE: thats fucking good

DAVE: anyway uh

DAVE: thats a pretty deep question considering all the shit we have going on right now

ROXY: yeah ur right

ROXY: now is probs not the best time for a feels jam

ROXY: especially with the creepy jade situation happening on my couch here

DAVE: i dunno if id worry too much about that

DAVE: jade goes into trances literally all the time

DAVE: she fucking loves sleeping

DAVE: youd think someone who spent so much of her life locked in a state of dubiously consensual slumber would wanna get as few zees as possible in her adult life but not jade

DAVE: ive never known anyone who hits the snooze button more times in a row than her

DAVE: if youre that worried take her to a hospital

ROXY: im thinkin about it!!

ROXY: not even sure if i wanna like

ROXY: mess with her tho?

ROXY: how would i even take her there...

DAVE: ok well while you ponder whether you wanna dump jade in a wheelbarrow and trundle her groggy spooked-up ass to the hospital

DAVE: in the meantime ill rap at you about my epiphany concerning the desire to bone some dudes

DAVE: probably not a literal rap though

ROXY: wow im disappointed

DAVE: i mean i could TOTALLY rap about wanting to bone dudes if i wanted?

DAVE: im just on the fuckin clock here and theres lots of people lookin at me

ROXY: :(

DAVE: ok so

DAVE: what ive learned is

DAVE: coming to terms with all this bullshit is a thing you sort of do in stages

DAVE: like stage one is you making jokes about how sweaty dudes standing close together in tv shows seems really gay

DAVE: stage two is making jokes about that and not immediately adding no homo afterward

DAVE: stage three is flirting with all your male friends ironically and not even thinking about adding no homo afterward because youre so fuckin woke and secure in your ironclad straight masculinity that you dont have anything to prove to anybody anymore

DAVE: or thats just what you say out loud

DAVE: inside you start being like

DAVE: oh shit

DAVE: maybe yes homo

DAVE: stage four is freaking out about that and putting the no homo back on all your statements even objectively heterosexual ones which just stupidly makes everything you say sound extra gay

DAVE: stage five is

DAVE: actually wait the next few stages are various permutations of the same thing that i already described

DAVE: it starts being like a gay fractal

DAVE: anyway eventually you arrive at like stage nine

DAVE: which is reminding everyone who will listen that youre gay minimum six times a day

DAVE: in really lame ways like

DAVE: oh cool dude are you making hot pockets

DAVE: better make mine a gay hot pocket

DAVE: cause im a gay homosexual who only consumes homo ass snacks delivered right to my mouth by a big queer butler

DAVE: servin it right up on his huge gay dick

DAVE: but that all only applies to the extent which i am technically gay

DAVE: which in my case is only about maybe 30% to 70%

DAVE: so only cook 30% to 70% of my gay hot pocket

DAVE: cause you know straights are fucking animals who never defrost their pepperoni

DAVE: and i gotta rep for that like 50% straightness still lurking inside me like the idiot who fell asleep in the shopping mall when it was closing for the night

DAVE: so now theres just this straight dude locked in a dark fucking mall for some stupid reason haunting the place like a cryptid and rummaging through the trash in the food court

DAVE: also just in case janes opposition research is listening in on their illegal wiretap i know the word bisexual exists btw im just choosing not to use it in service of spitting some fuckin chuckle jokes here so lets all calm down and not let this one become a distressingly literal federal issue

DAVE: anyway when all is said and done

DAVE: you eat a half cooked hot pocket because all your roommates think the height of humor is taking what was obviously an improvisational riff at unironic face value to punk you

ROXY: dave...

DAVE: what

ROXY: nm

ROXY: i was gonna ask you why ur like this

ROXY: then i remembered about how ur half me and half dirk

DAVE: yeah it really is crazy how those dope late game familial reveals actually did explain everything

ROXY: so whats stage ten

DAVE: stage ten is uhhhhhhhh

DIRK: The Prince opens his fucking mouth, and just literally starts SAYING SHIT, out loud, because he doesn’t think he can take another fucking second listening to a pompous alien virgin monologuing about gender.

DIRK: No consequence, my ass. You may be able to suppress what I do with my mind, but you have no control over my mouth. I’m nobody’s fucking puppet.

DIRK: And you don’t even know my friends. They’re not yours to toy with.

DIRK: They’re mine.

DIRK: Do you even know where I am right now?

DIRK: Do you have the slightest idea what I’m up to

DIRK: Yeah, well. Try and stop me then.

DIRK: I fucking dare you.

DIRK: Here I go. I’m walking up the tower stairs now.

DIRK: Walk, walk, walk. Ah, the exercise feels good.

DIRK: Argh. Wow, yeah.

DIRK: You’re right. My feet are definitely getting heavy.

DIRK: But the Dead Cherub tragically underestimates the Prince’s determination. He powers the fuck through it. See?

DIRK: Stomp, stomp, stomp. Up the stairs he goes. No fucking sweat.

DIRK: Oh also, did he mention? He can fucking fly, so there’s that.

DIRK: He decides to take flight and cut to the chase. He whips up the hollow vertical shaft at the center of the spiraling tower stairs. Life in the fast lane kicks ass, it turns out.

DIRK: He can practically taste the top of the tower.

DIRK: The Prince busts out his sword and makes short work of that big old bell.

DIRK: The slicing is accompanied by the ear-shattering melodic sounds of metal being cleaved apart by an anime sword, as the Prince nimbly avoids the sharp pieces and ricocheting stair debris.

DIRK: He wonders out loud, “what is this, amateur hour”?

DIRK: The Dead Cherub then humorlessly narrates, “why, yes. yes mr. strider, it IS amateur hour. and i’m the amateur here, for throwing a huge bell at you. i would like to humbly apologize for my amateurism.”

DIRK: Sure you do.

DAVE: well lets just say internalized whatevers are kind of like an onion

DAVE: theres lots of layers

DAVE: they suck on pizza

DAVE: and trolls have to get their stomach pumped if they eat them

DAVE: this goes for gender stuff too btw

DAVE: which i kinda get the feeling is what you were actually asking about

ROXY: wow am i rly that transparent?

DAVE: nah but as previously discussed youre a lot like me

DAVE: so it was pretty easy to figure out what you were getting at

ROXY: yea

ROXY: i dont got ur poker face tho

ROXY: but im workin on that!

ROXY: maybe ill get a sick pair of shades too

DAVE: oh DOPE

DAVE: yeah thats dope i support that idea

DIRK: I’m on top of the tower now. I’ve got my long sniper rifle ready and everything.

DIRK: I check to see if it’s loaded. It is. I get in the PERFECT spot for taking aim at this hunky imbecile who’s about to give a speech.

DAVE: anyway i dont think any of our friends are gonna hold your feet to the flames over dumb shit like this

DAVE: and its not like anyone else is gonna care since we definitely forgot to program hating gays and women into earth c

DAVE: humans are all jacked up on hating xenophiles now

DAVE: which sucks a lot too dont get me wrong

DAVE: btw did you know janes a xenophobe

ROXY: dave!!!

DAVE: ok ok

DAVE: so does all this mean i gotta call you dad now or what

ROXY: wat

DAVE: i mean thats what were talkin about right

ROXY: well first of all

ROXY: do u still even make a habit of callin me mom??

ROXY: i thought u kinda stopped that

ROXY: even if it was effin cute

DAVE: oh yeah i guess i did

DAVE: but i could start again

DAVE: but not if it means id have to go to fucking gender jail or something

DAVE: like what i mean is i could start that cute shit again but switch to dad

ROXY: ok but SECOND of all

ROXY: i would never want to deprive dirk of that noble honorific

DAVE: what

DAVE: ugh no way

ROXY: hahaha yeah way hes ya daddy dude!

DAVE: aw fuck noooo

DAVE: wow man

DAVE: i would never call him that

DAVE: i mean i know its true but i just wouldnt...

DAVE: wait

ROXY: what

DAVE: something feels

DAVE: wrong

ROXY: ???

DAVE: like some shits about to go down

DAVE: and i gotta...

DAVE: karkat! dude!!!

DAVE: GET DOWN!

KARKAT: WHAT?????

DIRK: You’re absolutely right.

DIRK: I would never do that.

DIRK: I’d never kill Dave, no matter what I felt the stakes were. I’d never hurt him either.

DIRK: You do understand me pretty well, I’ll give you that. And you’re right about many things.

DIRK: But there are just a couple things you’re wrong about.

DIRK: Pretty important things, actually.

DIRK: First of all, this gun is loaded.

DIRK: But not with bullets.

DIRK: Yes. You’re right about the tranquilizer.

DIRK: But there’s one more fact you’re not aware of.

DIRK: Which is that I never intended to aim for Jake at all.

ROXY: hellooooooo

ROXY: dave??

ROXY: whered ya go

DIRK: No, that’s not what he does.

DIRK: He swings the rifle around one hundred eighty degrees, and points the scope toward the large, now-curtainless window of a distant apartment.

DIRK: He zooms in quickly, cutting even shorter the little time that the Dead Cherub could use to impede him in some way.

DIRK: He takes aim, lets his finger hover over the trigger, and...

DIRK: Ow!

DIRK: Yeah, you got me. Can’t move it an inch.

DIRK: The only problem is, he doesn’t need to pull that trigger.

DIRK: Earlier, when he was messing around with all this shit in plain view, he rigged the rifle to be voice-operated.

DIRK: All he needs to do is say...

DIRK: FIRE.

DIRK: I see. So you’re not going to say what happens next?

DIRK: Is that really how it’s gonna be?

DIRK: So be it.

DIRK: The tranquilizer dart hits the glass of Roxy’s apartment window before the sound from the rifle’s shot even reaches them.

DIRK: She hears the glass break. Seconds later, she hears the bang. She drops her phone on the floor.

DIRK: She doesn’t have the slightest idea what just happened until she looks over at Jade and notices the dart stuck in her neck, right in the jugular vein.

DIRK: She watches as Jade’s huge, creepy black eyes start getting heavy. Her eyelids sag, and her head tilts to the side.

DIRK: She shuts her eyes completely. Her hair stops floating around her ominously. In fact, there’s nothing ominous about her at all anymore. She entirely resumes her status as the cute doggy girl we all know and love.

DIRK: She slumps over and collapses onto the couch. She begins snoring loudly while making a little canine whimper on each exhale.

DIRK: Like the bitch she is.

DIRK: Oh, what’s that? You’re getting a little quiet for some reason.

DIRK: You’re going to have to speak up.

DIRK: Aaand, nope.

DIRK: You’re getting quieter, not louder. You’re gonna need to work on that.

DIRK: Maybe try shouting it?

DIRK: Yeah, I didn’t catch that at all.

DIRK: Not even one syllable.

DIRK: Guess that’s it for you? Back to not mattering.

DIRK: Not that you ever did.

DIRK: Come to think of it, why am I still talking out loud?

im glad you mentioned louis behaving more like early 1D days louis/more flamboyant because i was honestly afraid about bringing it up. i kept thinking i'd sound offensive for some reason! ive been noticing it for a little while now and it saddens me just a bit because i feel like its proof that he has been less open in previous years. obviously i think a lot of it is also his general nerves about his solo career/first tour, etc. etc. but its undeniable how much more languid he is.

hii, nonnie!

yeah! obviously, he’ll always be different at 30 than he was when he was 18 and it would be silly to want him to be the same/expect him to, but I think he’s now showing us he’s kept parts of himself that he had to hide for a while, but they’re still there. he’s grown, he’s been through things that i’m sure were traumatic, he’s been trained extensively, he’s been told to hide that side of him, push it away, i really can’t imagine what he’s been through and the ways he’s had to constrain himself, which, apart from growing up and changing naturally, he undoubtedly did have to. but we’ve always known from what we’ve seen of him behind the scenes and stuff is that he still retains that part of himself when he’s with the people he knows etc. and whether you want to call it freer, more languid, more animated, more carefree, more flamboyant or whatever, he is just letting himself go more on that stage! As you said, I think nerves always do that, one gets so tense and combined with everything I’ve said above it’s no wonder. But I’m so happy he’s comfortable with himself and with us on that stage! That he’s moving freely and confidently and that he’s so magnetic and dynamic and lively and just glowing and I’m so glad we get to be a part of that and that that can continue happening for him!

#talk time with agnes #gosh I love him #and it really seems to me that he’s now seeing his audience and learning that yeah I can be who I am with these people #:(((( love him

the problem with your chess argument is saying "women should be allowed to create a space just for themselves" and NOT thinking that's transphobic. literally in saying that you are implying that trans women aren't women, or aren't "woman enough" to be in the women's league. the "sex-based and not identity-based" part of your argument also feels bad faith to me.

off topic but also you saying that "this is the reblogging website who cares who i reblog from!" is INCREDIBLY irresponsible and shows that you do not actually care about whatever rhetoric you are spreading, you just do le funny reblogs!!! which i'm not saying you have to check the info of every single op you reblog the posts of, i know i certainly don't, but when you reblog an outwardly transphobic post and just say in the tags "i dont agree but funny we have almost the same url!!" it makes me feel like you are treating transphobia as a joke. which it is most certainly not. get a grip please.

you think it's transphobic for women to have spaces for themselves? that is so completely a you problem.

ok. let me say this outright so you can stop guessing. transwomen are not women. and everyone who makes a distinction between so-called 'cis women' and 'trans women' knows it. a transwoman is a person of the male sex who chooses to live in the female gender role, often also transitoning to appear and pass as female. there is nothing wrong with that and there is nothing wrong with admitting it. i've never understood why it's seen as somehow transphobic to acknowledge that transwomen are transwomen. literally why is that offensive to you. what is wrong with being a transwoman.

and uh? sorry for expecting people to think for themselves lol. it's not like i'm out here all day every day reblogging shit i wildly disagree with but yeah, now n then i will rb something i wildly disagree with if i think it's funny - usually clarifying in tags that i dont agree w it. or i'll rb something i mildly disagree with or im not sure about if it makes me think. or i'll rb from someone i completely disgree with bc it's some apolitical picture of a blorbo or smthn. sorry but im literally not responsible for other peoples opinions. i talk abt my own beliefs loudly and repeatedly on this blog and i expect other ppl to do their own critical thinking instead of just taking any random post they see at face value.

anyway, if you want me to rb from fewer terfs, tell everyone who isn't a terf to unblock me so i can rb from them instead. you wouldn't believe how many trans-supportive posts i've tried to rb but not been able to lmao. if people don't want me spreading trans-positive politics then i guess i got nothing left to spead but terfery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello, you don't really need to answer this ask. I just enjoy your blog and well, idn, I just want to give a little bit of advice/encouragement. I'm bad with words, specially in English, which is not my first language, please don't take this as an insult or offense, I really tried to just come here in friendly terms (terms? That's how you said it? Idn 😅)

What I wanted to say it's, whatever you do in any fandom it's always best to do it for intrinsic motivators, specially if the fandoms are small. Having engament it's great, I'm a fanfic writer, I know that feeling of seeing any comment in my stories, but I learned long ago that I must do things for myself, for my personal enjoyment and fulfilment.

Don't get me wrong, i enjoy your blog, you will probably figure out who I am bc I'm gonna reblog stuff lmao but you know, do this for your own personal happiness, not to seek engament. I have stories from 2013 and even 2015 that to this day have no comments but I'm fine with it. I really enjoyed writing them and I'm proud of them, even if they have almost no engament at all, I wouldn't delete them for any reason <3

What I try to say it's try to not seek motivation in extrinsic motivators like engament and just do it to have fun! Do it for you, not expecting attention, but to just have fun and feel nice inside. Do gender bend, play with sexuality and relationships, explore and come out with new designs and lore, and enjoy it fully. Don't be afraid to take breaks if you need and come back when you feel like yeah, I wanna have fun with this again! I may be shooting myself in the foot since I'm saying dude take a break if you need, that it's totally fine, even tho I wnana see more of your ideas, but seriously, your personal enjoyment comes first :D

So yeah, have fun, ignore the haters and all that people that don't get what Au means can go live under a rock ;v

Have a nice day/night 😘

thank you so much for the ask !!!!! im answering it so other people can see since i think this is a really really good message,,,

i do my best to do things for my own enjoyment, and i do absolutely LOVE this au and i love making it :3333

however, ive always struggled with doing things i enjoy because of how often its ignored by friends, family, ect, so im prone to forgetting even though it was enjoyable

engagement helps me remember it exists, helps me get new ideas, and mostly helps me know that its worth posting to places. i dont enjoy doing things when nobody knows it exists, and although im not sure why, its kinda just how it goes for me idk man SHGSSGD

ive been taking breaks periodically throughout winter break, and thats why i usually answer asks in short bursts since it means they all build up and then i can answer them all at once :3 i get myself hyped to answer and then i can and it works pretty well for me,,,

fr man i think. i think that "au" is a bigpart of the "ask rw dark au"

sure, just about nothing in this au is the same as canon, but thats. thats the point of an au im just silly like that !!!!!!

ive been working on not relying on engagement to enjoy things, ive been getting better about it and i have been able to make things just because i like them

idk if it makes sense or not, but sometimes it feels like i shouldnt enjoy something when nobody else does or seems to, you know? ive struggled with people pleasing for years as well as having problems with adhd / anxiety (unmedicated) making it difficult for me to kinda just. do things guh

im not saying this bc i disagree because i dont at all i completely agree with what youre saying and i do genuinely appreciate this !!!!!

im working on getting better abt it and i think im going to delete the reblog post soon just because i dont really think its worth it, hopefully if i just keep answering asks and making designs and drawing these silly creatures ill be able to get past the worry that people dont like it and just start posting because i like it !!!

thank you so much !!!!!!!

tell me the pittsburgh steelers drama pls

-🌻

ok so basically our like franchise quarterback had been BR7 (big Ben - i can't spell his last name tbh) for so long but when he retired (after a shit last 2 seasons arguably more but no one wants to talk about that) we had to get a new qb so we used our number 1 draft pick on kenny pickett instead of oh idk drafting centers or guards to fix our shit offensive line but whatever. so we got kenny and everyone was excited and he started in the 3 preseason games and everything looked good etc etc except when he started during the season he quite frankly was kind of ass it was hard to watch. so when he got hit and was on concussion protocol and couldn't play, mitch trubisky (backup qb) started and look he also did pretty bad. so when kenny was able to come back he started again but still wasn't like anything big like we were still losing and then skipping ahead a little he got an elbow injury that was going to need surgery so he was going to be out and mitch came back in. the thing about mitch is i actually don't know his story im pretty sure he was the old backup for the bears maybe idk but anyway he was starting games and he was playing so so bad like oh my god . bad . so tomlin basically benched trubisky in favor of starting mason rudolph and the thing about rudolph is that he'd been backup under ben but Ben was kind of an asshole and didn't like give rudolph any guidance at all and when ben was hurt and rudolph had to play he wasn't very good and everyone hated him this is very important. so now rudolph was starting and everyone was expecting him to do horribly and basically saying our season is over but he actually did very well and we won the game and everyone was like holy shit and then we won the next game too and everyone was like rudolph is better than pickett and trubisky and tomlin just hates him bc it's rumored that rudolph is a trumper (idk if this is true) (tomlin is black and white steelers fans are racist idiots that want him fired even tho he's one of the best coaches in the league (17 seasons straight with no losing season lfg), that's all you really need to know) and that's why he's never started etc etc which is really dumb bc . it's not that he didn't start bc tomlin hated him, he didn't start bc last season he was ass u all called him ass whenever he played remember when you boo'd whenever he took the field and were actively wanting him to fail or did we all conveniently forget that but whatever what do i know. so because rudolph is doing so well and kenny is literally coming off of surgery, it was decided that against the ravens this week (today, the game we need to win for better playoff chances) rudolph would start kenny would be backup 1 and trubisky would be backup 2! someone in the media came out with information from an inside "source" that said kenny was mad about not starting and refused to suit up to be number 2 and it was a whole thing that blew up (mark maddon when i catch u when i catch u mark maddon) and it caused a lot of fans to start calling him princess kenny and basically call him selfish and conceited and stuff. so while talking to the press kenny basically addressed those rumors (which he'd already technically and indirectly disproven in earlier interviews but whatever) and said they weren't true he never refused he's following the advice of the coaches and health staff hes going to suit up as backup in the game etc etc. and then a picture of kenny mason and mitch came out where they were all laughing and smiling and joking around and yeah that's it it's kind of awesome to me

RRGG EFFR3VFR/EF3V.RF3V.F..T…G.REEE..RGGEGEGE FOAMS FROM MY MOUTH. THESE..THESE TWO. GAFRFGTGRGRGR/POS (this is just gonna be a ramble of these two so YUP!!)

silly little headcanon of mine is that these two are like related in some way, cousins or brothers, something like that,,,I usually saw them as brothers and like Whipped Cream was the oldest and Pastel Meringue being younger than Whipped Cream. LIKE LIKE UHM wait before I continue just a heads up this is probably gonna be a bit unorganized IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS ALL LIKE NEATLY OR SMTH SO IM JUST SAYING IT WITHOUT KINDA SORTING IT,,I THINK,,,BUT ANYWAYS LIKE I imagine like during outfit preparations for Whipped Cream, like while he is trying to find an outfit for his shows and stuff. Meringue is just rating them all and giving opinions on the outfits, giving him suggestions too. Probably adding some extra things to the outfit too like small accessories and stuff like that. Meringue would probably show up to like a few bit of Whipped Cream’s shows, not all of them since Meringue is sometimes busy with their own things but he tries to show up to atleast some. Definitely telling Whipped Cream his thoughts on their performance after it was done. Meringue would probably try and give them suggestions on how to padazzle the show even more or rambling to Whipped Cream on things they could personally add to their outfit. Which on 1 or a few occasions they both have probably gotten into a few arguments from that. Like Meringue trying to suggest something different for something about Whipped Cream’s outfit or theme whatever and like Whipped Cream not really wanting to go with that idea and like Meringue seeing that as a loss he still tries to encourage the suggestion but Whipped Cream gets a bit sad after he continuously says that he doesn’t wanna change the thing that Meringue is suggesting. They’ll get into arguments sometimes like that sure, but they still care about eachother in the end,,,although Meringue holds a small tiny grudge each time because he definitely believes that their own opinion or like suggestion was definitely better but whatever they don’t hold onto that grudge that tightly. ANYWAYS uhm on another topic uhmm OH SO LIKE Meringue probably has Whipped Cream model some of his own created outfits, like using Whipped Cream as Mannequin while they add final touches to an outfit he’s working on or stuff of that sort,,the whole time asking if the outfit looks good even though in his mind he knows damn well it looks good. Whipped Cream would probably respond and be like ‘yeah it looks fantastic so far!’ AND MERINGUE WOULD BE LIKE ‘ya ik’ EVERYTIME. One time when Meringue asked that Whipped Cream called it that he’d say ‘ya ik’ again after he gave his response and Meringue scoffed cause HE KNEW THAT WHIPPED CREAM WAS RIGHT SO LIKE Meringue is like ‘whatever’ and lightly pokes Whipped Cream with like the needle thing that he uses, I CAN IMAGINE SO MANY SCENARIOS WITH THESE TWO LIKE UHM,,they both go out for once and spend time together and like halfway they both spot a cookie with like a horrendous fashion choice outfit and like Meringue cookie stands in utter DISGUST they start ROASTING THE CRAP OUT OF THE POOR COOKIE TO WHIPPED CREAM AND LIKE Whipped Cream is just shocked too, Meringue is going ham on this poor cookie. Whipped Cream worries that the cookie may overhear Meringue roasting them so he tells Meringue to TONE IT DOWN Meringue infact does NOT tone it down literally this is offense to even be out there wearing such a horrendous thing so Meringue goes up to them and starts ROASTING THEM INFRONT OF THEIR FACE Whipped Cream does not partake in this AT ALL he LEAVES. OUT. DONE. NOT HIS BUSINESS ANYMORE (spoiler alert, Meringue may or may not get in a whole heated argument with this poor random cookie)

ANOTHER THING TEEHE I like to headcanon that like when Meringue was first starting their passion for making clothing and such all that yeah,,they made Whipped Cream their iconic usual performance outfit as a gift. Meringue mostly just wanted to experiment with things and they enjoyed how it came out, Whipped Cream loved it ALOT. It’s one of his most prized possessions. Meringue isn’t proud of the outfit now, he believes that he could’ve done better and he knows he can definitely do better now. He even suggests or asks Whipped Cream oftenly if he wants him to fix or adjust anything about it but Whipped Cream always just says it’s perfect the way it is. OO OMG ANOTHER THING UHM these two are probably like very fascinated with the Phantom Bleu and like admire them a bunch for their own different reasons. Meringue admiring them for their outfits and style, the class that they contain. The EVERYTHING, Meringue finds them to be very just interesting, stunning too. Whipped Cream on the other hand admire their swift work and the way they move. How they can move so elegantly and swiftly, how all of the turns and leaps they make are all so precise. Phantom Bleu was actually one of their inspirations when he first started preforming!! They both think the Phantom Bleu is a quite respectable cookie, besides their acts of crimes, they haven’t necessarily harmed anyone and they both find that admirable. Since most criminals,,,do harm people,,,BUT GRA IM GETTING OFF TOPIC HERE ERM UHM,,but ya the two sillies!!! I’d say that they’re like that similar but so different duo,,they both grew up having a thing for works of art, finding stuff like that so interesting. Cough cough….Whipped Cream was a theatre kid,,,cough,,cough,,,,Meringue teased him about,,,,COUGH,,Whipped Cream was very dramatic when he was younger, would put on a show for the SMALLEST THINGS. Oh I just tripped??? Yeah so like I’m dead now HA take that now I’m gonna Sue the floor for making me trip, ya that,,,,many cookies actually don’t know that they’re related, some kinda assume it but they don’t like know entirely,,so it’s usually a small shock when it’s revealed,,BUT MWHEHAAH THATS ALL,,,FOR NOW! I hope you enjoyed reading this if you made it to the end!!!! Have a nice day!!! :3

#BUT YA HOPE U ENJOY THIS LOLSIES!!!#COLOR ME ESTATIC #IVE BEEN THINKING ABT THIS FOR A WHILE SO I WANTED TO WRITE IT #TEHEHEE #P0ff FAVES #so silly #WEEEEE #ENJOY6Y!!!!#P0ff cr hcs

2x11 2/2: ‘He does *waves his hands around* all of this for them and they still act rude in a way, if i was him, i’d burn the whole place down, okay thats a but much but they are very very rude *brian tries to give his tickets to linds* HE CARES! NOT THAT IM SURP- blondie, if he didn’t wanna be here, he would just say adios and leave you alone in you DIY dress! WHY DO THEY KEEP TELLING HIM WHAT HE THINKS AND FEELS AND GOD DAMN IT THIS IS ANNOYING ME SO MUCH *looks at me* hey, if i was like 100% sober, do you think id watch it more peacefully?’ Narrators note: no, i dont think so, in fact i think the drugs are helping him, wish i had them when i watched s5. ‘She wants him to fuck lots of beautiful guys but she almost had a stroke bc ted started a porn site. Who is she lying to? Him? Herself? Or me? Bc i feel lied to. Whateved, give me my boy and Bri Bri in Miami!! Dancing and drinking and having fun!’ And now Justin cancelled on Brian ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHYYYYYYYYYY BLONDIE! WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?!?!?! He wants to console debbie?! She has mike! Fuck debbie! That bitch better drown in her tears if he wants to cancel for that!’ And now he is watching the tv like a hawk to see if Debbie cries. ‘HE ISNT EVEN CONSOLING HER! She is smiling! Not a tear on her! *he now paused the tv on mel* i swear i dont mean this in a bad way, okay maybe it is but im not 100% sure so you tell me..BUT she gives off the vibe like if she did an interview about her character instead of saying the name or whatever she would speak in first person..now to think of it that nerd also gives of that vibe (when asked which nerd he just went ‘im done explaining myself).. not one tissue was passed to debbie! Not one! I guess this wedding was cute but come on! Give me brian and Justin on a trip! I had to suffer doctor bone crack and mike fuck in a forest, i think i deserve something good for that’ ‘i will kill myself if it cuts to Brian sad in a loft or some shit like that. HE CAUGHT A BOUQUET!! DOES THIS MEAN HES NEXT?! i wonder who caught it at the wedding? Probably Emmett’ And at this point he is no longer chill or collected. He is now going on and on about how lindsay sabotaged him and how he is a good person that deserves good stuff and that them not going on a trip is horrible and that he is fully expecting them to go on a trip by the end of a season but since miami just happened he is willing to compromise that s3 better start with them somewhere on a trip/returning from one. I think he might kill me when he sees the finale.

OH MY GOD in my last answer I forgot to address your brother going WILD over Brian deciding to take Justin to Miami. Welcome to the fandom, friend. The things we melt at. (NGL my spouse took me to Dinah Shore which has a white party for my 30th and it was very romantic... in its own debauched way) (we were younger then and better able to mimic Brian's lifestyle)

Thank you to your brother for seeing how batshit Lindsay is. What the fuck does she want from Brian? NO ONE KNOWS. IT IS A MYSTERY.

And yeah, Justin staying. I get that it made sense for his character. Probably a bit of foreshadowing for Ethan. (And not a single tissue passed to Debbie) (but also truly no offense to Sharon Gless, she is so normal about Debbie). (Which nerd? I die)

Brother better buckle up if he's hoping that Brian and Justin get to go away to any-fucking-where. Vermont, Miami, Ibiza... none of it happens. Ever.

I get so sad seeing Brian catch the bouquet at the white party. IDK why. It makes me sad.

I wish we could start a fund for you for the end of this season - to pay for your therapy and probably your brother's.

How do you explain Edelgard using the Slithers as pawns to "free humanity from tyranny" when they are a direct danger to anyone and everyone? Rhea is not the "bigger" threat when the Agarthans turn people into beasts and still actively pursue genocide of a race/species while all Rhea does is reactionary.

When Edelgard invaded the Holy Tomb, she threatened to kill anyone who stopped them from stealing Crest Stones, is it not understandable that Rhea would take some huge offense to that? Not to mention the "Flame Emporor" being involved in other crimes as well.

If Edelgard needed to "use" anyone (lets face it, she was the pawn all along cause the Slithers ultimately got what they wanted in the end, Rhea dead and possibly being used by them and the other few Nabateans leaving Fodlan for good and Sothis and her power disappering from Byleth) she would have used the Church to wipe out Slithers before forcing Rhea to step down.

So. I don’t really know why you’re asking this as if it’s a big gotcha. Like your whole point of “Edelgard is really the pawn”. Yeah. That’s. That’s just the point, that was the whole intention of TWSITD. They literally made her to be a weapon, and she could not get out from under their thumb. So instead, she decides to use their plan to enact her own, to try and change the world for the better.

I’m guessing you haven’t done Edelgards route in Three Hopes, because it actually looks at one of your points. The whole premise is that given the first opportunity she uses the church against TWSITD, which requires a massive series of coincidences and her plans going perfectly, and all that does is annoy Thales rather than outright beat him. I haven’t had time to finish it yet, so I don’t know how it ends, but yeah. Three Hopes’ Black Eagles route is exactly what you said.

The thing that makes it pretty clear that this ask isn’t really in good faith is that I’m not a particularly active blog, so if you looked at the stuff I’ve posted you’d see that I’ve never said I don’t like Rhea, or think that she’s always being unreasonable or whatever, im really not sure how you’ve drawn that conclusion. Best guess is you saw my response about Seteth and Flayn being only spareable by Byleth and made a few logical leaps.

I personally don’t have a huge amount of interest in Rhea, but there’s plenty of nuance to her character rather than the kind of flat and boring characters of TWSITD. She makes an interesting antagonist in Crimson Flower, which is my favorite route, but I just don’t personally have a lot to say about her that other people haven’t already said.

And the fact that you seem to think TWSITD has more power than Rhea is frankly a bit laughable, and requires ignoring most of the text of the game. Are they a threat, absolutely there’s a reason they are the final antagonist of one of the routes, but the whole point is that they are attacking the far stronger force of the Church.

Do I think Edelgard using TWSITD the way she does is “morally right”? No probably not, especially on routes other than Crimson Flower where she feels forced to rely on them even more. But she has been put into an impossible position, where there are no morally right options, and we aren’t given enough text to really analyze what her other options would have been, besides in Three Hopes, which makes it pretty clear that that path would not have been possible in the original Three Houses.

But all of that is not the point of Three Houses, none of the house leaders, or Rhea, are “perfectly moral”, they are all put in difficult situations that require impossible choices, and to differing degrees they all do “bad” things in various routes, or in their histories. The point, at least to me, is that what happens when someone like that is given an out, what happens when they’re given support is that they improve. All of them, when given support, learn to trust again, to rely on others. I personally just find Edelgards version of that the most compelling, for reasons others have said far more eloquently than I am willing to try now. If you want to understand why people like Edelgard, I encourage you to go look (just look, no need to start arguments) at other posts in the tag about her.

TLDR: I’m a small blog who has never said I dislike Rhea as a character, or view her as this total monster or whatever. I simply like Edelgard not just despite, but because she is flawed, she is human, because she makes sometimes crappy choices in the pursuit of a better future against impossible odds. Three Hopes specifically answers and examines one of these points in great detail, so I invite you to either play it yourself, or watch a playthrough if that’s not possible. Do I personally find Crimson Flower to be the most compelling path, yeah I do. I’m just not black and white about it, and just because I don’t personally find interest in a character doesn’t mean I think that they’re a bad character, or unreasonable, or whatever. You’ve ascribed thoughts to me that simply do not exist.

#fe3h #edelgard #rhea #this ask came off a little aggressive so if it genuinely was in good faith my apologies #you just kind of have to dig deep to find me #and I really don’t like having words put in my mouth

I am the wildemount job's biggest stan but I think I'll ask for director's commentary on the wedding ceremony in ch 6 of Tower of Shattered Glass, either from "Lord Caleb Widogast, archmage of antiquity" to "Essek wishes that could give him comfort." or the passage right after that until "Best not to dwell on it. In unison, they both step forward, down the center aisle, the line of people trailing after them." Whatever you think is interesting!

honestly, probably for the best, im not sure how much commentary for the wildemount job I’d have beyond “i thought it was funny” (that’s only half a joke, I did put thought into that fic)

I’m doing both because I like rambling, and may as well cover the full wedding. Below the cut!

Lord Caleb Widogast, archmage of antiquity. He’s dressed in crimson red, the trademark of the Assembly, and his bright blue eyes stare back at Essek with a gaze that feels like it could set something on fire, make a lesser man crumble beneath it.

So, the biggest inspiration for this fic is Reputations (as is only fitting for an arranged marriage, volstrucker!caleb fic). In it, Caleb sets his hair on fire as a nervous tic, which everyone (especially husband to be Molly) thinks is intimidating/a sign of anger. Didn’t steal it exactly, but I think volstrucker!Caleb has real rating murder face.

And every time I describe him in the early chapters, I think it’s very important that he looks clean cut, imposing. This isn’t truly Caleb, after all - it’s closer to Bren. Although, he’s not usually in Assembly/blood red, it’s more a public appearance/formal thing. Read into that how much metaphor you want.

Essek matches it, unflinching, keeping the blank, congenial smile on his face.

Of course, resting murder face or not, Essek was raised in courts. I like to imagine that the dens are very much the great houses with all the ruthlessness and only somewhat less murder; you won’t last long in high echelon politics if you can’t handle yourself and your emotions, much less Shadowhand. Essek is very good at not letting anyone know what he’s feeling, especially to not seem intimidated.

The priest begins to read out the sermon - a generic, inoffensive thing, the wording of which had been argued over for hours. It speaks of the strength of unity, the power of alliances, alluding to both the marriage and the peace.

I did not want to write wedding vows.

Although I think it’s important that this isn’t actually vows; neither speak here, it isn’t really about them. This also emphasizes how political - and therefore - how dull - most of the planning was.

“Let Erathis bless this union, and all those that follow,” the priest finishes, and steps back, as the Dusk Captain moves forward to take the place, and, behind Widogast, the third archmage, Wulfric Kirchoff, pulls out the beacon from the case it had been held in.

Erathis chosen as the least offensive deity to the Dynasty and also patron of political marriages and treaties.

Eodwulf is holding the beacon. Our trio of archmages won’t let anyone else even see it without one of them present. Paranoid motherfuckers, aren’t they? Rightfully so, of course.

Wulfric Kirchoff is my excuse to have Caleb Widogast - Wulfric to keep Wulf, Kirchoff comes from Church for his worship of the Raven Queen. Astrid is Isolde Siegrun, for ‘Isa’/‘Asa’ and Siegrun meaning Rune of Victory. Caleb only refers to them by the nicknames when alone, so going forward I want to shift towards that to make it less confusing, but Essek/M9 only know the aliases....yeah this was maybe too much thought. What can I say. I like my canon compliance.

Kirchoff hands it over to Widogast, who holds it aloft, and Essek reaches up to grab the handles, grasping it between them.

This is the core ritual of the wedding and the peace. I wanted to parallel the iconic Caleb throne room scene. But he’s got more power, here, they’re equals - if anything, Essek’s got the lower status, because he’s being shoved into the game.

The last time he held this beacon, he had stolen it, whisked it away to enemy lands to experiment on it, sparked a bloody war, cost the lives of agents and soldiers and civilians on both sides.

Emphasizing that, even without Caleb, this is an Essek who made his heel-face turn.

“The Light shines upon you,” the Dusk Captain says, “as on us all - may it guide us from the dark, unto the truth.”

Counterpoint to the Erathis bit; one to the Empire, one to the Dynasty. They don’t need a king speech about peace and marriage - they don’t really do weddings, after all - they just need the beacon.

Also, to highlight that Quana - and everyone in the Dynasty - is completely unaware of Essek’s treason. It isn’t a jab at his lies. It feels like one anyways.

It would be the easiest thing in the world, to teleport away, right now. At the highest level, the chances of the Assembly counterspelling were low. He could run, run from it all, find some forgotten corner of the world to complete the research.

Essek may be a face, but it’s tempting. Nothing like willingly being handed the thing you conspired to steal. Of course, this plan would likely end in his execution, but realism can’t break the fantasy.

He hands the beacon over to Verin, to place in the case once more, and hopes whatever lapse, whatever hesitation, passes off as mere religious fervor.

A deliberate Eodwulf-Caleb-Essek-Verin chain/parallel here.

If Widogast notices - if he has any hesitation, watching the second, final beacon vanish from his grasp - he shows no signs of it. Essek wishes that could give him comfort.

This line is the core of the fic. I have thought about it, but really...I don’t think I can show Caleb’s POV, not for a while at least, because the question is...who is he? what are the blumentrio really up to? why turn on Ikithon, why hand over the beacon, why end the war? Goodness of their hearts, or another plan up their sleeves?

And, what Essek is most concerned with: do they know his role? Do they suspect? Or is Vess de Rohan the only one who still knows.

The priest steps back to the center, and, with only half a second delay, Essek raises his hands to meet Widogast’s, to hold them. The sensation of skin against his is like a shock - and he’s grateful that his exposure to the Mighty Nine has weaned him of that, that he has no reaction.

Essek is touch starved.

He keeps his eyes on Widogast, as the priest begins to read out the marriage requirements, hands resting over theirs clasped. It’s an inane, mostly symbolic list, but the most important, most binding one, comes last.

“-til death do you part?”

Exandrian vows probably aren’t the same as American. But there’s nothing more dramatic than swearing to the death.

They both have a very simple (well, simple, not easy) way out.

“I do,” Essek says, and it’s no small effort to force his voice to match the volume of the priests, to not catch in his throat.

He repeats the same for Widogast, who answers just as cleanly, an echoing, “I do.”

First words either say. Again, happening to them, not by them.

By force of will, Essek is making sure no one sees any signs he’s nervous or uncertain. Caleb is the same.

“Then, by the powers vested in me, by god, king, and country, I pronounce you - wed!”

Roman pietas was in my head for god/king/country.

Below, the crowds rise, not quite cheery excitement, but the sound of applause filling the chapel. He turns to the side, facing the crowd and looking out at them in full for the first time, bracing himself on the sight of the Mighty Nine, risen and whooping from the front row.

Standing on the dais, it’s just him, Caleb, Wulf, Verin, the priest, and the Dusk Captain. Enough to forget theirs a whole crowd - tight angle, this is just the two of them.

But they aren’t alone, it’s a show. And a successful one at that.

He’s still holding Caleb’s hand - no, Widogast is holding his hand - not gripping it, not tightly, but not letting go, either. It wasn’t one of the things brought up, in the highly detailed description of how the ceremony would take place - maybe a slip, the Empire forgetting that they didn’t do weddings, much less ones of this style - maybe a last-minute choice, trying to better signify unity before the crowds - maybe a personal decision, not wanting to let go for whatever reason.

Neither is quite ready to let go just yet. It’s easier to have someone to brace yourself against, even if you don’t trust them. Not wanting to admit it, Essek justifies. Clearly this is either a Dwendalian tradition they forgot to mention or Caleb making a political move.

Best not to dwell on it. In unison, they both step forward, down the center aisle, the line of people trailing after them.

Or, maybe not. But Essek isn’t going to let himself think about romance. He doesn’t need to like Caleb. He just needs to survive.

can I ask ur opinion on the term “agabless” ! it’s basically for people who want to tear away from the agab label system and don’t want to identity with being any agab? or just not wanting people to publicly know their agab so separating from it. also trans people identifying as the opposite agab when they weren’t .. like saying “Im a trans man and call myself amab” /gen

Re wording: agabless is a lot of things lke when reject the agab system, reject your own or feel disconnect to it, don’t want to reveal it, don’t like terms that are for specific agabs and want them to be more open to all or don’t want to use them at all.. from what I’ve gathered .. also the term aldernics exists .. which is off topic but describing wanting a different internal or external body which can be about gender sex species etc … just wanted to see what u thought about these and if u think they are useful terms ! (2/2)

Hey anon.

have never heard of agabless before. i will be honest it sort of confuses me because i'm not quite sure i understand how it is being used. again, i think i mainly see agab as an event at a point in time rather than an identity, i guess. so agabless doesn't make a ton of sense to me because i guess i don't think of my own agab as something that comes up a lot, so i'm curious like, in what ways are people agabs coming up enough that it's relevant for them to create a term? because for me my agab is basically only relevant when i'm doing legal documents or going to the doctor. other wise i'll just say that i'm a trans intersex guy, that i don't experience transmisogyny, that i have a uterus and a womb...whatever is relevant to the situation. very rarely do i actually go around saying that i'm afab, or when i do it's not something i really conceptualize as a current part of my identity. i guess i don't really understand how agabless would be used enough for me to have an opinion on whether it's a useful term or not. i don't think it would be useful for me but like, i'm not in charge of how other people think or what language they want to use.

in terms of aldernic, i will admit i'm not the most comfortable with it in terms of how close it is to the concept of altersex (and parsex and varsex. and i think i've talked about it on here about how i fucking hate varsex lmfao.) i don't have an issue with MOGAI labels in general or the idea of really specific labels--i will admit hyperspecific labels defintely not my personal preference or how i understand myself, but i'm not going to judge people who do feel comfortable using those and it brings them joy. but i do not like the concept of altersex/parsex/varsex and i feel like the aldernic identities that relate to wanting a mix of sex characteristics make me uncomfortable. i don't really like it when dyadic people create labels to describe their feelings about essentially wanting to be intersex. i think that if you're a dyadic person who wants to have a mix of sex characeristics, that's fine, and i think it's fine to talk about that or talk about wanting a mix of surgeries or wanting to do certain things with your hormones, or whatever. i don't think that's something that dyadic trans and nonbinary people need to like, keep a secret, but i do think that they do need to just be conscious of the way they talk about it. and i personally do get uncomfortable when people who desire a mix of sex characteristics turn that into an identity label because to me, that gets too close to fetishizing us. aldernic seems better than altersex and varsex, but the entire concept of creating a label for that experience just does make me uncomfortable and i don't think i'll ever be happy with a label that does that.

overall tho? like not to be rude, but these labels are so rarely used that it really doesn't bother me enough to say anything about it, because this literally just isn't an issue in my life. yeah, i think they can be kind of offensive, and if tons of people started using them i probably would start to take more of an issue about it, but i literally just don't see it used enough to make me want to get involved in it.

other intersex people, feel free to add on or disagree in the comments. go wild.

#asks #hope this doesn't come off as rude! i just really think i am not the person to ask these sort of things #bc i geinuely don't really care that much about these types of labels #like im just not super invested so i cant give u a good opinion cause im just not super invested at all #but like. i don't have an issue with like the idea of mogai labels as a whole #or super specific labels or flags #it is just not my thing

DAVE: so we gotta hit jane right in her neoliberal austerity measures were all agreed on that right

KARKAT: UH HUH.

JADE: yeah sure

DAVE: now shes gonna spin some shit about supply side economics but we cant let her control the narrative on that one cause the first thing thats gonna happen once she begins deregulating the baking industry is that some sweet dumb crocodile down in consort land is gonna start putting sparkle glue in the cupcake mix which isnt even the real issue thats just surface issues

KARKAT: RIGHT.

JADE: definitely

DAVE: i mean earth c has just been play acting capitalism the last five thousand years while we timeskipped ahead to live rad lives as gods without bothering with any of the boring shit that goes into making a civilization

DAVE: which is fine i mean you cant really expect a bunch of teens who didnt finish middle school to set up a sustainable form of social democracy that isnt just blatantly ripped off whatever we incorrectly thought obama god rest his soul was doing back in the day

KARKAT: SIGH

DAVE: but janes got this old school mentality you just know she wants to restrict grist alchemy for the sake of “growth” and when that goes down itll take three seconds flat for some nobody in new dersetown to drop the earth c communist manifesto

DAVE: at which point were in for a speedrun of either our 20th century or her 21st century

DAVE: were gonna glitch under the map straight from marx to clown dictatorship

DAVE: for however long it takes for this other conversation to stop happening

JADE: so say no!!!

JADE: oh yeah??? explain the fundamental epistemological difference

KARKAT: WHAT THE FUCK?!

the only reason peopoe bring kids into the world is to make them suffer then use kids as the excuse for the way the world has become cause older generations wont own up to anything. eyeroll. bombastic side eye. criminal offensive sideye. simple answer: dont have kids but society has attachment issues and every other idjit has to either have a clique to belong to or some type of "relationship" whatever thay is pfft i dont know. i mean did u see the video clips of people goong doolally bc target brought out some new stanley colours. it was grown ups, teens, even some men going doolally bc stanley cups exist :/ tf is going on over in the states?

maybe when im in such a negative headspace im too much of a scorpio but society does do a lot of emotional damage to its people so why shouldnt we shit on things? id petition to shit on every royal palace there is...

Honestly yeah people nowadays are having kids for all the wrong reasons. Like even from personal people I know there having kids to heal their own inner child or trauma, and to live their dreams, and just to be pregnant and shit. And it’s like…What? And even people in my family are having kids knowing damn well you have three special needs kids already, an older son who is fucking neglected borderline because you have three whole ass special needs kids, and has no one to talk to and is flunking every class right before graduation because he needs some attention, and then there’s the eldest daughter who’s…Got so much going on. Both are the sweetest coolest people ever though and we’re TIGHT. But it’s like…They just had another kid? Mind you they don’t even have the capacity for that shit since the eldest daughter sleeps on the couch when she lives there (she’s like their half sister usually lives with her GRANDMA though because her mom’s…A character who doesn’t want her ex to really see her much but also kicked her out to live with her Grandma as soon as she hit 18 and the child support stopped coming which is all sorts of wrong.) And like…Your kids are suffering from it. AND YOURE HAVING MORE JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT WRAP IT? Like you’d think they’d learn their lesson two accidental babies ago and her almost dying birthing both but I dunno.

And don’t get me started on the Stanley craze. It’s a mid cup I could buy versions of that are better from the clearance section in home goods at checkout. AND HAVE. It’s like toilet paper and fucking popeye’s chicken sandwiches all over again. I’m convinced everyone’s either losing their shit or is fucking bored atp. But yeah I’m like 99% sure your Scorpio influences may or may not have something to do with it but idk what my excuse is. Maybe it’s because my Scorpio stellium big sister practically raised me and taught me most of what I know. And my natural inclination to justice and fire sign mars so I’m rly passionate about it?? But again I have no clue. Either way I’m fed up though.

matchmaking update: my mum just called and said that the ukrainian lady came in today and said that her son said that im "very calm". and am i gonna overreact? of course i am.

because describing me as "very calm" is triggering tbh. i wrote about it here but basically B used to tell me that im "very calm" all the time. that he like sensed my """calm energy""" when we first met and that he feels """"calm"""" when he's with me. and it always felt offensive idk why. probably because in B's case he meant that i was very passive and never stood up to him or whatever. and whenever he would talk about his exes, he'd always contrast me and them and say that his ex was crazy meanwhile im calm. but ive always thought that he loved his exes more bc he put more effort into their relationships than he did with me.

and also it's such a weird way to describe someone, no? like what's the opposite of calm? hyperactive?? did he expect me to be hyperactive? or did he mean that i was boring? because what does a guy with no hobbies or interests know about being boring? or maybe bc it's a language barrier thing. bc the guy said that he speaks russian with his mum but his russian is v bad so he often can't articulate what he means. so maybe something got lost in translation idk.

idk it's just annoying. because i do understand that i am calm. in the sense that i don't try to prove anything to anyone, i talk slow, i do give off a calm and comforting energy i suppose. which is not a bad thing. but it's just weird idk. it kinda triggered me because it made me think of B.

other than that, another annoying thing happened at the shop yesterday. this lady called and asked if we want to buy her dior bag. and we said that we don't buy because we're a consignment store. but we told her that if she wants, she can deposit the bag at our store. and she got angry and hung up ???

so we were like okay, that's weird. nowhere on our website does it say that we buy things. we're a consignment store. and the way it functions is that the customer deposits whatever they want to sell and if it's sold, they get their commission. that's what a consignment store is by definition.

but yeah, she hung up before we could even give her further details about like our commission and deposit time and stuff.

and then 5 minutes later we get a notification that she gave us a 1 star google review! this is what she had to say:

"There’s a woman who I called today and I was going to sell my dior bag to them My dior bag cost: 2.8k And the woman ask for me to deposit it for free 🤡 What are you trying to do rob me 😂 You guys are funny"

like ma'am, this is how consignment stores work. you deposit "for free", yes. like ???? that's the definition of a consignment store.

so now our whole google rating is down because of this woman who didn't even come to our store! she just called, hung up on us while we were trying to explain her what a consignment store is and accused us of robbing her.

it's so annoying because criticism is always welcome and sure, some people have never heard of consignment stores i suppose, but leaving a 1 star review while not even having set foot in the store is just so meanspirited and unfair.

so yeah if any of you guys have visited our shop, could you please leave an honest review? it would mean a lot!
