it takes a lot out of me to remember myself. i turn my face away from it and my body cracks open, spilling glistening hot viscera onto the floor for the audience to coo at. scenes flash behind me—dark corners, the breeze from the window, the floorboards creaking, a shift in the air. close to me, you look over my shoulder. you tell me, “you kept yourself so still when you were younger.” i want to ask how you know that. how do you know? but you reach out to touch my open body, press my hand to your chest, hold my face. it’s in your eyes. you were a boy once. just like me.

frankly i think the best way to differentiate fanon sky and canon sky is to take a look at groose's redemption arc. both forgive him for the bullying but fanon sky says "he didn't mean it!" Canon sky says "i deserved it"

(for reference, canon sky is sky as shown in the game/inferred directly from sksw)

#chicken scratch #smoke & ashes #lu sky #linked universe #would like to say that this post came to me about a hypothetical ghirahim redemption arc #and the post very nearly works albeit at a more extreme level (because yknow. the Murders) #but the problem is that groose antagonized link specifically #but ghirahim didn't give a shit about link he was just fucking around the first time you meet him #he only plays with link because he's in the way of getting to zelda #so link doesn't matter to him he just wants to hurt zelda #and that's the difference. theres why a ghirahim redemption arc would never work #sky doesn't give a shit about himself his low self esteem takes care of that #but as soon as you go after his loved ones it is over #sky is such an emotional person #he loves quickly and it's so easy to weasel your way into his heart #and it takes a very special kind of antagonization *cough hylia cough* to make him hate you forever #UNLESS you come after his friends. shortcut to being in the bad books forever. #he will kill you for one (1) corn chip #his low self love plus his high emotions and love for his friends equals this disaster of a man #and is why canon sky would never say i deserve it about ghirahim #he fully believes ghirahim is an asshole (which is true) and NOTHING he does is deserved #in skys mind nothing ghirahim did to him matters #it's the fact he wants zelda that means all bets are off and ghirahim's fucked #it's not about sky it's always about his loved ones #but i have indeed read fanfic where fanon sky is like oh this is ghirahim he tried to kill me it's all good now #so yea fanon sky would still say he didn't mean it #ok but like twisted ghira redemption arc where he realizes demise isn't the allpowerful master he thought #this god was just beaten by a pissed off teenager yknow what a fucking joke #anyway #ghira ends up thinking a lot about it being like so demise wasn't the right guy to follow

I'm back on my Ichiryuu bullshit (as if I ever really left)~ uwu <3

The sound of his classmate’s voice earnestly calling out stopped Ichiban from running and he pivoted just enough to see that Zaou’s hand had reflexively reached out – reaching for him – but froze partway. “I was just… surprised,” Zaou explained carefully like he was thinking about each word before he said it. “I am pretty busy, so I wouldn’t have time every day and sometimes certain things come up last minute, but I guess I could use the help.” Ichiban tried to swallow his nerves, but his heart was in the way. “I understand. When would be a good time for you?” Zaou hummed absentmindedly as he searched for an answer, then suddenly his eyes lit up. “Ah! Give me your phone.” Ichiban obediently fished it out of his pocket and placed it in Zaou’s expectant hand. It wouldn’t occur to him until after the shock had worn off that perhaps he should have asked why first, but the fact that Zaou’s fingers were masterfully navigating his phone screen was doing unexpected things to his brain chemistry that he was sure would accidentally translate into a mortifying collection of words the instant he opened his mouth. This was a bad idea. Possibly the worst idea. Why did he ever think he could— “Here,” Zaou mercifully interrupted his spiraling train of thought and held the phone out to him again. “I’ll have to check my schedule first, so I’ll text you when I work something out.”

Trying to pretend that this is a "last line" game instead of just a "last thing I wrote" game is a fool's errand for me at this point. I truly cannot shut up about the things I love and this is my most wordy contribution to the feedback loop yet. //bricked

i don't think this applies to any mutuals but i've been stewing vaguely over tp fans who think link only fell for midna when he saw her true form. like. we did Not play the same game apparently

#libra.txt #i don't even ship midlink that hard but people who make link sooo shallow #and say he could only have fallen for her when he saw her true form just. ugh i can't stand it #like. they have such an interesting dynamic + relationship #starting out from 'begrudging coworkers' to 'maaaybe friends......?' to 'yeah we vibin' to 'Oh.' #and for awhile i didn't really see midlink as a very romantic dynamic #but then. idk. getting to the desert the first time. and midna shares a secret. the way she presses close to link #and not in a flirty way or trying to get on his nerves but as. 'hey. this is really important to me and i'm actually kind of scared but #i Trust you. i believe in you. we can do this together' #/that's/ when i said 'Oh.' #and now i'm almost done with the game. i've beaten zant and i've headed to the castle #(sidenote: love the freaky spider form midna has with the fused shadows. need to do more with that) #and the way link catches her!!!!! the way they smile at each other!!!!! #they care about each other!!!! they're fond!!!!!! #need to actually finish the game but. maybe i like midlink more than i think. hmm! #i'm just sick of people who only use midna as a reason to give link manpain. or make link shallow etc etc #midna is an interesting character on her own!!!!!!! so is link!!!!!! #they just so happen to work well together too!!!!!!!!!!!! #and don't get me started on midzelink okay

blog update

url change: slashsleuth -> waywardmillennial

I was debating on whether to come back to tumblr or not then I saw the url that matches my ao3 (and discord) account was available! (I don't think it was when I started this blog) so I'm taking it as a sign it's time to come back. plus I wanted to post some fics this year, so we'll see how that goes. no idea what fandoms I'll be blogging most. probably still some watcher (but maybe a little less on the shyan). I've gotten back into doctor who, which has been fun. maybe there'll be some more marvel (stony and lokius) things. thank you to everyone who left me a kind message while I was gone <3 I wouldn't say I'm feeling 100% better but I want to try to work through my low feelings by creating more things, and I'd like to have a place to share them with you all when I do.

#blog psa #I like that my accounts match now #I am a true virgo #this message went longer than I thought oops #please message me anytime if you wanna chat #also this is the first time I've ever changed my tumblr url in over 12 years on this webbed site #now I know why I didn't wanna do it #none of my old links work and I have to redo my tags page rip

"I've spent YEARS wishing for my unicity and a body that would be only mine, putting everything I could towards the goal of my completion to the point I went through possession, soul binding manipulation, spells of many sorts and a girl that could BEND REALITY to finally reach my goal, only for the first idiot black mage to link their soul to mine again while living in my head until well after the moment I reached completion, and when I finally found them a body they liked, they managed to get KIDNAPPED by a dumbass SULTAN in an esclavagist country and covered in ithridium and power absorption seals to the point I was affected by THEIR soul binding? And I had to get out and save their ass while being completely powerless, and needing to ask a FROSILÆN for help? Yeah, you should be ashamed, and grateful I didn't just tell Yaled to kill you to sever the soulbinding, next time I won't let you bind yourself to me, yes, yes, I didn't have to save you and I did it anyway, while putting myself in a HUMILIATING position because YOU apparently can't handle the sight of my chest- NO I'M NOT LETTING YOU TOUCH THEM THIS TIME I AM STILL ANGRY AT YOU- okay fine stop with the puppy eyes and yes I got it I saved you while I didn't have to and yes I deserve the thanks and no you won't have any kiss from me I said I'm still angry and- Fiiiiiiiiine. Yes, I love you too, there, I said it, happy now? Now stop grinning like a motherfucker, I want to get back on that magic treaty and it won't help if you keep kissing my- shit."

#hel is talking #lysara #lysara ibruael #this is referencing events that happened in my first campaign #where Akira's partner got kidnapped by the Omiranese sultan and chained up #causing Akira themself to be magically binded #since their soul link was of particular nature they could have just asked Yaled to kill them or sever it #buuuuut they still striked a deal with him to put themself in danger (while thanatophobic) to save them #it worked and Akira destroyed Omiran's palace but almost died a LOT of times and is not happy about it #but they won't admit all this could have been avoided if they didn't have a gigantic soft spot for their partner #we still need to rework their dynamic mostly because I need to flesh out Akira's character a lil more #and Sorako is currently a blank state #but they're funny #t4t enbies that were once world destroyers (still are but are a bit more selective in what they want to destroy) #(else death is coming for them) #hel ocs

the sense of having any lore about the ancient [ten to thirteen years ago] of marble hornets times like granpa granpa tell us a greentext story....the only hitch is not having stories and instead having "i guess you had to be there" tales from the fringes, unless instead of a hitch you frame this as a bit

Happy 15th “Very First Mention Of Valice” Anniversary!

Though, admittedly, it does feel weird to celebrate this anniversary, given that “very first mention of Valice” was me berating myself for even HAVING shipping thoughts about Victor and Alice. XD Yeah, what happened basically was this --

-->I was playing in a LIveJournal RP game at the time, Beyond The Rift, with a version of Doc Brown mixed with Changeling: The Lost (poor guy had ended up as a steampunk cyborg while stuck in Faerie, then escaped into an alternate universe Chicago with angels and demons and various other ridiculous shenanigans -- he at least got the ability to control his personal weather out of it?). I was having fun, and thinking about other characters that I would like to play with if given the chance -- most notably, Victor and Alice.

-->That same day, I ended up on TV Tropes, and in my travels, ended up in the Shipping Tropes section. I don’t remember if I ended up on the Crossover Shipping page precisely, but I was definitely in that general vicinity.

-->And -- well, I was already thinking about how Victor and Alice shared a love of drawing, and how they were from the same time period, so if they DID both end up in that Chicago, they’d be able to commiserate with each other and suchlike. . .

-->And thus, cue me thinking about shipping them. And then cue me going “WTF??” at my own brain, because I was absolutely convinced at the time that they’d make a horrible couple, and that my (supposedly-joking) desire to ship Victor with both Victoria AND Emily was weird enough.

. . .we see how all THAT turned out! I wonder what 2008 Vicky would think if she could look forward and see me now -- having written freaking novels’ worth of Valice fan fiction, having embraced not only shipping Victor with Victoria and Emily at the same time, but throwing Alice into the mix too, and currently being obsessed with the OT3 of Victor, Alice, and a roller coaster. XD Hopefully she’d see how happy I am with all this nonsense and be glad that she didn’t talk herself out of it. (Even if it took me until December of that year, after I’d made Victor and Alice RP journals, to let Alice call Victor her boyfriend. But we’ll get to that later.)

#valice #valice anniversary #first impressions #again not linking the post itself from my LJ/DW because #again it's a bit hard to parse if you didn't know my habit of talking to myself through many many alternate Doc Browns at the time #look trust me the 'constantly makes AUs of everything' thing is NOT NEW #but that's a decent summary of what happened #so you can thank TV Tropes for my primary ship I guess :p #I am glad that I didn't talk myself into believing Valice could never work #I've gotten a lot of joy out of the pairing over the years :) #and yes this is why when Victor indicated that he wanted to fuck the roller coaster #my initial thought was like 'seriously??? you know that would never work' #and then my SECOND thought was #'you thought that about Valice too' #and I sighed and started trying to come up with a human form for the coaster #...we see how THAT turned out too XD #queued

Truly cannot thank you enough for sharing the drives <33 i can't help but wonder how you built up such an amazing collection- you said your grandfather introduced you to big finish stuff? How long ago was that? Hope you have an amazing day! (I know I will thanks to you!)

Hi, Anon! You're welcome! I hope you have an amazing day, too!

Gosh, we're talking so long ago. It was somewhere around 2005-2006, I swear it was before the shows revival, but my memories of listening to them only appear to be in a specific house (we moved for the final time in 2006). My grandfather introduced me to them by telling me of these stories he listens to when he goes to bed, sometimes he'd fall asleep listening to them, he gave me the Eighth Doctor monthly range on a CD he'd burnt. It then expanded to the first 50 audios, then the first 91. I was obsessed with both them and the show, and I assumed that because 91 was Circular Time and ends with Five regenerating, with the show airing, they'd chosen to cancel the audios and end on him ending. (it made sense to me at the time, I was like 14? When I thought that)

It didn't occur to me that they were still going until 2019? So for like 14 years, I was just listening to the same audios repeatedly wishing they'd kept going. Once I realised, I asked my grandfather if he had more.

So my collection is a combination of - my grandfather giving me 150 monthly range ones, spending money on them back when I had a job, and scouring the internet to see if someone had posted them online fully prepared to brick my laptop doing this. My Eighth Doctor Collection was from someone else's drive, they had all the way up to Ravenous but they privatised it like two days later. The rest is my own.

#he told me this as i was going to bed‚ so i'm honestly wondering if he thought i'd forget come morning #i actually still have the three CD's in this house #it went 1-50‚ 51-79‚ then a few sporadic ones Caerdroia‚ Medicinal Purposes‚ Scaredy Cat‚ Night Thoughts‚ The Kingmaker‚ Circular Time #there's that The Library link going around which has more than me because they have spin offs and they have it all on one drive #but they only have up to 2019‚ and idk what it was the layout? the formatting? but i can't get them to work #and i think i kinda prefer having it on separate drives? feels kinds safer? less connected to me #the conversation of the audios only happened because i told him i learnt about an airship at school #and he told me about these historical stories he listens to about a guy who goes to those events and tries to stop them #that's how i listened to storm warning first #i listened to Doctors 5-8 before i ever saw them on screen‚ the versions in my head didn't align with how they appeared on show

@buecherworm tagged everyone who felt like it to make a picrew, so I, never passing up a chance to make funny little pictures of myself, made this one:

Makowka's old picrew was already great, but this one might just be even more fun! Love to see people improve.

I wish i really did have an acorn necklace...

As for tagging people, I think I'll also go for anyone and everyone who wants to. No obligations, no pressure!
