Listen, I don't like to skim books, because skimming means I end up missing important details and usually feel meh about the book.

The exceptions are Margaret Weis (because she writes dnd-based novels and there's a lot of repeated descriptions, fictionalized rules/mechanic explanations, and sidequests that seemingly occur because someone she was playing through the plot with rolled a 1), and apparently Pamela Dean, because holy shit Tam Lin is so slow and full of faff and sidequests I'm gonna lose my mind.

TBH if it wasn't a retelling of one of my favourite tales and part of a series curated by one of my favourite authors/editors I would've DNF'd it by now, but I'm willing to persevere because of that. Also, the setting is fun I guess. Kinda dark academia (light academia??) ish. But like. I'm on page 182. Janet has met Thomas (Tam Lin), but they're dating other people. No one is pregnant yet (in fact there are very in-depth descriptions of 70s birth control methods (did condoms exist in the 70s? I have to google. If they do, I'm gonna be mad that no one has them!) and still no idea who the "fairy queen" is here. In fact we know basically nothing about Tam Lin except that he's a theatre major who got mad about a book and is dating Janet's roommate, while Janet dates this pretentious loser named Nick. The author created TWO plays--productions of Hamlet and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead--and had her characters discuss both in detail. I dread the emotional nonsense that's going to have to occur for Janet to end up banging Tam Lin. Just.

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH

The thing is, the setting is fun, the sidequests are not terribly boring, and the writing style is not terrible. The actual real plot we are promised by the title of the book is just NOT HAPPENING!

So, anyway, time to skim.

#ive barely picked up this book for the whole long weekend which is truly a sign im bored of it #it just Did Not have to be 450 pages long. there's too much fluff #like out of the 182 pages ive read id say you could cut HALF and still maintain the same story #thinking about reading

For the ask game 1, 11, 24, 23 :))

what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

Oh boy, starting off with a bang! Uhhh this question is very broad so I guess I'll interpret 'things' as like, events. I could go media but ehhh i think events are more interesting.

1.1 I had a rare and severe disease as a child that deeply impacted how I view mortality, comfort, and the field of medicine. Luckily, I have essentially 0 lasting health impacts from it so it's all just emotional stuff! Hooray!

1.2 My parents split in my early teens, changing not only my living situation but also how I viewed the concepts of home, family, and romance/marriage. It also was the catalyst for which started repressing all of my emotions, something I had to work hard to unlearn in my late teens/early twenties. It was a good life lesson, to say the least.

1.3 Also around my late teens, I figured out I was genderqueer! This has changed a lot, both the intricacies of my gender itself, and how it's impacted my life. Everything from the way I look/speak, how I navigate interpersonal relationships, and how I conduct myself in public are impacted by my complex relationship with gender. It's fun and exciting and freeing and enlightening, but it's also frustrating, isolating, confusing, and downright scary sometimes. I wouldn't have it any other way.

11. what do you consider to be romance?

Tbh, it's something that has been on my mind quite a lot recently! Short answer: I have no clue 😅

Long answer: I have only recently just had the revelation that I cannot tell the difference between platonic and romantic attraction. I'm not even sure romantic attraction is something I'm capable of experiencing. I can recognize (and enjoy) romance in fiction, I sing along to all the love songs, I do my best to understand the feelings of those around me when they talk about romance. But for me? I don't know. I know I've loved people, deeply and earnestly-- I love people now. But every time I try to enter a romantic relationship with someone, I feel like I'm just doing what's expected of me; going through the motions of 'what romance is supposed to look like' without actually feeling it. It's hard to say though, it's hard to identify the absence of something. How do I say I can't feel these feelings if I don't know how to identify them? Or is that in and of itself my answer? To me, there isn't anything I'd only do exclusively with a romantic partner. I don't know what romance looks like because I'd happily do anything passionate, caretaking, or intimate with a friend. But I'm told there's supposed to be extra feelings, so... here I am.

23. say 3 things about someone you hate

YESSS TIME TO BE A HATER. Okay uhhhh 1) expected me to be responsible for an entire dnd group's happiness despite my own joy becoming less and less frequent when playing (exacerbated by playing become a literal obligation) 2) assumed he knew my own needs and solutions to my problems even when I DIRECTLY STATED OTHERWISE 3) decided i had daddy issues because-- and I cannot stress this enough-- I played a warlock in his stupid campaign. Then he tried to therapize me about it. thru dnd. Needless to say I did not stay in that campaign (despite his best efforts to not let me quit)

24. what’s one thing you’re proud of yourself for?

Ahhh I could connect this to any of the earlier questions but I suppose since I'm answering these on here I'll say this: My improvement in writing!!

Spn really got me into writing fic. Outside of taking a creative writing class in college, I haven't done any writing outside of scientific writing since I was a teen. I had a lot to learn and relearn! It's been really rewarding to send my drafts to my beta reader, and watch the amount of edit suggestions lower with each project as my writing skills have strengthened. Of course, I still have more to learn, but honing my writing skills is something that brings me a lot of joy; and it's been very fun to write fics that other people enjoy too!

ask me some stuff

#vinny answers #ty for the questions birdie!! #did NAWT mean to get that deep w it #you just happened to pick a couple questions that were like. Well. tell me abt ur core being #love it tho great times

[blacktinnedpeaches]

had a bit of a cry on ben earlier bc im feeling v isolated from everyone atm + watching him like being super fun + sociable with all the friends i had first (to be clear i love that he's involved lol i just feel like at one point i was much more central + have slowly moved backwards from it all) is like. kind of shit bc i just am feeling so separate from it all but more saliently i also dont rly feel like socialising at all + i just feel like blah and unmotivated to really talk to anyone + i feel like its harder to perform cool shiny cham irl/on VC (where a lot of te current stuff is happening now) and i just like :| dont think im fun enough outside of text bc like. idk it's harder to "perform", as i said. not sure if this is a pandemic hangover or wedding stress or what but yeah im finding it all a bit much + hard + it doesnt help they all keep doing things that im really not interested in (god bless them) like dnd (hate it) bass (i play piano) album listening parties (not really a fan of listening to music in this way), book club (haven't read a book in over 10y), and whilst being fully aware i actually could partake in most of these i just feel like they all have so much in common and like... i am Also Here lol with interests that barely intersect at all with The Group's

le sigh, we cringe on

ben got a bit emotional as well bc he didnt like seeing me so upset (grimace emoji) and agreed that i used to be much more involved w/ stuff + that he misses me doing stuff with The Group. he also asked about my fluoxetine dosage bc we both think it's helpful for some things (obsessive thoughts/behaviours WAY better on it than off it) but tbh i dont really think it makes a diff wrt mood except as a by-product of the obsessions

then ben read me some matsuo basho (not sure why he's reading "the most famous poet of the edo period" atm bc usually he's on like sci fi and shit haha) and that was nice

i have another tina appt tmr and i guess ill talk about the above :/

in more generic complaining i also have a fuck ton of work to do in the next few weeks before i take a week off, for obvious reasons

#im really hoping in a few weeks that i am feeling more normal again #post-wedding

[screechingzephyrr]

So i finished watching the first season of CBS Ghosts, so this is the sequel to my first impressions post. My brain is preventing me from coherently creating thoughts but i know if i dont post this now i will never post it ever.

My thoughts in a big unfiltered list (sorry):

--Isaac is still my favourite character and he is going to forever live rent free in my brain. Him constantly gasping dramatically, him saying Hamilton was “fiNEee” with an eyeroll as hes battling with his love for theatre and his hatred for Hamilton. Icon behaviour. And Isaac and Nigel are so sweet and i love them so much. Everytime he pushed Nigel away i was screaming crying throwing up, silly guy behaviour over here.

--Nigels accent made me fucking wheeze as a british person, its so posh its hilarious and i love him for it

-The contrast between The Captain’s repression and Isaac’s acception is really great and i love them both dearly.

--Trevor is better in my brain now, he barely hits on Sam anymore so uncomfortableness has been vanquished and his backstory made me like him more. I like the twist and how he’s different from Julian with the fact that he didnt die in the act. Im separating them more in my head

--Jay is slightly better i guess? yeah thats it. hes allowed to exist, his and sams relationship still dont really have the right vibes for me but idk its probably just me

—Isaacs and Hettys relationship is so adorable like go off besties gossip about men but very specifically nigel

--Okay im going to be honest some of the episodes dragged and werent really enjoyable for me? maybe its because i thought there were thirteen episodes and when i was finishing episodes ten i was like hyped like “ok im nearly finished lets go!!!!” and then i checked and saw there were EIGHTEEN.

--Episodes i liked a lot / loved:

8)DND

9) Alberta’s Fan

15) Thorapy

16)Trevor’s Pants

17)Attic Girl

18)Farnsby & B

(Mostly because they had Isaac +Nigel in some of them. Also you can see the massive gap which is when i began to lose hope in existing)

--Episodes i hated:

13)The Vault

(BURN IT WITH FIRE. Elias’ ghost power made me want to scream and i had to mute it and fastforward it at on point bc my secondhand embarrassment was too strong for me to handle. The only good part of this episode was when Elias went down -into hell im guessing- and the ghosts screamed collectively. That was funny )

--The humour is really different from BBC ghosts. CBS is less subtle and very outright! i did laugh out loud quite a lot (Mostly bc of Isaac tbh. Also “Oskar is squirrel”).

i do think that its more “in the moment” type humour, if that makes any sense? like i laugh in the moment but i cant remember any jokes from it that i would reference in daily life, BUT maybe thats just because im comparing it to bbc ghosts which i had an allconsuming obsession with and can quote whole parts of episodes off the top of my head and which i influenced my parents into watching it too so we both know the jokes. so yk. its probably just me (again lol)

--also, CBS ghosts treats the Ghosts deaths in a very lighthearted way. None are very heartbroken over their deaths and many easily tell the stories of how they died. I do like this but sometimes they try to have some emotional moments?????? i mentioned this before but they literally have no impact

compared with BBC ghosts which treats each Ghosts death with varying degrees of poignancy, its very different and a nice change

— im glad i got to see more of Sasappis and Flower, theyre both icons tbh. im still wondering where Crash is?? Ive seen him maybe three or four times and one of them was in the background?

UHHH so to conclude,,, i think its a mostly entertaining show with interesting characters! Ive been rewatching a few episodes ive really liked. The episodes i didnt like as much would serve as good background noise i think.

#cbs ghosts #bbc ghosts #i am simply a humble person throwing my own opinion into t he world #may update later #if i remember more stuff? i guess

[ariesbilly]

I'm not going to be teying defend Jason here. Some of his actions were terrible. The fact he felt the need to go all vigilante and round the town in like that was insane (like fucking Gaston over here) and that scene where he's intimidating Nancy is pretty godamn sketch. His friend threatens to break Erica's arms and that was really fucked (I did find an old ask of yours where an anon said that Jason said he though Lucas "was one of the good ones" but I can't find that anywhere, but obviously pulling a gun on him in the first place was very bad)

That said, as someone with a lot of religious trauma, I really understand his fear regarding the situation. Like... he saw that shit happen with Patric and with what he believes about the world, of course he would think it's some kind of demon shit. Honestly, if I was even just , like, medium religious and I saw that shit, I would probably become a bit of a nut too.

Now I didn't get a lot of talk about dnd but I did get a lot of fear mongering about ouija boards. I just thought that... idk, I'd bring it up. I see a lot of people talking about how people are shitting on Billy without addressing his abuse, but then those same people never talk about how Jason is clearly in so much emotional distress which is propagated by a system that people unfortunately just fall into. He's harming other people, yes, but it's clear he's terrified of just everything constantly, because the kind of religious circle he was probably indoctrinated into really drill that into you and then he's experiencing these gruesome murders. Who wouldn't become hysterical?

I try to be understanding of Billy even when it's hard to watch him get violent like that, but I see little grace for Jason who I relate to to an extent (as someone who was raised in a cult, funnily enough), and then the people who wholeheartedly support and defend Billy will act like Jason didn't have any understandable motivations. They'll literally make fun of people for even bringing up that his girlfriend died so it makes sense he'd be emotional.

I'm sure you'll try to dunk on me about this too, but I think that both Jason and Billy or morally gray and are both products of their environments and they're both sad. So... do you have any thoughts on that?

I mean I haven’t watched season 4 so any thoughts I have on Jason come from what I’ve seen others say, so truthfully I cannot give a firm opinion on him because I just don’t have the full context.

But I also have an interest in religious cults…(watch a lot of documentaries and YouTube video essays lmao) so I do often think about those aspects coming into play with Jason and the brainwashing that goes on. I get mad at a lot of religious discourse in tumblr for these same reasons cuz I don’t think people ever consider that these people actually believe what they’re doing is for the greater good/trying to help people get into heaven etc etc but that’s a whole other topic we don’t need to get into right now

So I can totally understand how in Jason’s mind he thinks he’s being a hero (which most good villain ideologies operate this way tbh. Or at least should). Like I don’t hate Jason. I’ve come around to him to the point where I joke about shipping him and billy. I’ll include him in things from time to time, granted not in the best light but if i straight up hate a character I simply do not include them at all

I think the difference between Jason and billy is that we SEE where billys trauma comes from. We have visual canon proof of it. So it’s a lot easier to look at that and go “ok now everything’s making sense”. With Jason, it’s not canon he was indoctrinated into anything (unless it is. Again, didn’t watch season 4). For all we know he could just live like that. Yes it can be easily assumed since he is still a teenager it is most likely his parents are also cuckoo and passed their ideologies down to him, but again, without any real confirmation, it remains a guessing game.

I also think with billy it’s like, he went after the people he went after for good reason (to him). Max gets his ire because they’re pitted against each other by neil, he goes after Lucas because he’s directly tied to max and everything that gets billy in trouble, he goes after steve for lying to him and being a creepy weirdo with his underage sister

As far as my knowledge of the Jason situation goes…there was no reason to go crazy on Lucas and Erica? Like yes they know Eddie and I guess it was about Jason thinking they were hiding him or something? But it’s like why do they need to be physically attacked (or threatened) so aggressively for it? The two situations in my mind are not the same. And maybe it’s because I’m a billy apologist. I’ll own that. But it comes down to billys safety specifically was in jeopardy the entire time, which led him to act out vs Jason just going on a vigilante crusade that ultimately had nothing to do with him

im on the last ep of blood origin and we stan gwen, tbh it feels like im watching a dnd campaign come to life and i kinda live for that, and avalla'ch is here :)

Hey, I'm glad someone has enjoyed it!

I really struggled to get through the first episode (keeping in mind though I do have pretty severe ADHD though so immersion can be difficult anyway).

Idk my thoughts so far under the cut (sorry anon you've given me a chance to thought dump)

I actually really like Sophia Brown as Éile and if I continue watching at this point, it will be for her! I think she's a really good actress and she has carried a lot of the initial story well.

The opening shot was ambitious and I get what they were going for, but it really really sucked. Like it was painful. I don't think starting the series off with bad cinematography did them any favours

A lot of the interactions felt really flat. There we times I was meant to obviously feel the gravity or emotion in a situation and I just...didn't. I think this is also a fault of the story telling though. For example, the death of Éiles sister. There wasn't really enough established there for me to go "oh no wait I hate this" if you know what I mean

What the fuck is going on with costuming over at Netflix? The main series has also had this really strange hit and miss thing going on with it. Did they spend the whole budget on Merwyn???

In a similar vein, the elves just kinda felt like...humans with pointy ears. I think this is a problem in most media recently thought - just laziness in terms of the development of fantasy groups. They have cities, social classes, animals, relationships, roles that are all just human. Where is the flavour.

#genuinely good for you tho anon! i kinda wish i did enjoy it so far #like craving new fantasy content #katie txt

🧱🤝👪💛🧸 + olenna!!!!!

OC EMOJIS

[ 🧱 ] how would you describe your muses’ morality? what are their core values?

i think if we were using dnd moral alignments, i'd probably pop her into lawful good. at least, i would in her earlier life, before the deaths of aegon & daeron & baelor, at which point her core values were those outlined in the seven pointed star: charity, honour, piety, compassion, obedience, etc. think devout catholicism on crack and you've just about gotten to olenna's worldview. she holds oaths made to the gods very seriously even after she spurns the seven, and for her whole life, she holds honour above all.

after abandoning the faith, though, she'd identify with chaotic good a lot more. i don't think that she holds as much respect for The System by that point and tbh she's kind of been freed of her devout beliefs to some extent. she's always a very charitable queen, though; even if she doesn't make much use of mummers or artisans, she puts a lot of the crown's gold into the motherhouses of king's landing and really looks out for the children in the city. the smallfolk of her era remember her more fondly than the maesters do.

[ 🤝 ] how does your muse approach intimacy? are they hesitant, or do they like it? what types of intimacy do they like and dislike? (ex. physical intimacy, sexual intimacy, emotional intimacy, etc.)

awkwardly. she's a little better with emotional intimacy than she is with physical / sexual intimacy, even if she's so determined to never burden anyone with her problems that it'll take a lot of bugging to get her to be honest about her more negative feelings and thoughts. olenna's a very good listener and she honestly has a lot of emotional intelligence, so if someone is having a very deep, sentimental discussion with her, or leaning on her for comfort, she's the perfect partner. she's about the only person in the world who's patient enough to wait for aegon to get through his brooding first, before he talks to her.

but on the physical side of things, she has a lot of shame, because she doesn't think that she should... really want the things that she wants, i guess. even wanting aegon to like her makes her feel embarrassed, because she feels she has no right to ask anything of him. once they start fucking on the regular she really enjoys it, too, and that makes her feel just... awful.

[ 👪 ] what is your muse’s relationship with their parents like? was it always this way?

answered here!!

[ 💛 ] how empathetic is your muse? how compassionate are they? is this something people expect from them, or are people surprised when they find out how compassionate or empathetic they actually are?

very empathetic! i've covered this a little already, but olenna really feels for the people around her; it's one of the first things that drew aegon in. she's very good at putting herself in other peoples' shoes and understanding what motivates a person, which can be helpful when she can't avoid the politicking of king's landing. her patronage of the orphanages in the city comes equally from a political / spiritual necessity ('this is what a good queen who follows the seven would do, so it's what i'm going to do') as it does an earnest desire to help people.

i'm not sure if anyone's particularly surprised by her kindness, though. olenna just has extremely soft vibes dshdskj.

[ 🧸 ] does your muse keep anything sentimental? if so, what do they keep and why?

yeah, she's definitely the sentimental sort. i think she holds onto her mom's prayer beads once danelle's passed and i'm sure she has something of willem's, too, even if i can't think of what right now. after aegon dies, she cuts some of his hair and encloses it inside a pendant, which she wears around her neck at all times. once daeron and baelor join him, i think she cuts hair from their heads too before they're placed on their pyres, and all three of them get braided together so she has something of them. and though she doesn't keep most of her children's clothes, she definitely hangs onto a few items of clothing from when they were especially small, just as mementos.

[pagesfromthevoid]

okay i'm finally here with an a song for Adrian !!! Ik theres a lot of memes surrounding Weezer but i mean Adrian is also a walking meme so i feel like it's fitting yk? Anyway, Thank God for Girls sCREAAAMMMSS adrian for me.

"The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair. Is making a cannoli for you to take on your hiking trip. In the woods with your bros that you've known since second grade. And you may encounter dragons or ruffians and be called upon. To employ your testosterone. In a battle for supremacy and access to females glued to the TV. And even if you are victorious you may receive many cuts, bruises, and scrapes. And you will require band aids and antiseptic ointments. And tender loving kisses on your stab wounds and when you come home. She will be there waiting for you with a fire in her eyes And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth And that's why you Thank God for girls."

I imagine this being another one of those moment where Adrian is like rambling. I feel like Adrian is a hardcore feminist. It's like one of those moments where he's explaining to Chris why women are so much better than men. I think he puts some of his own experiences with women in while rambling, like when it says, "even if you are victorious you may receive many cuts, bruises, and scrapes And you will require band aids and antiseptic ointments And tender loving kisses on your stab wounds and when you come home She will be there waiting for you with a fire in her eyes." I think it's something Adrian would really appreciate from his partner. Having someone who will put him back together after every fight.

"She's so big. She's so strong. She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls. Thank God for girls."

I feel like Adrian has a thing for people who can hold their own. So just imagine him with a girl (or anyone tbh) who can hold their own against a fight with him. He'd pop a thimble just thinking about it.

"I'm so glad I got a girl to think of even though she isn't mine. I think about her all the day and all the night it's enough to know that she's alive. She says I give her sweaty palms she almost had a heart attack. The truth is that I'm just as scared I don't know how to act. I wish that I could get to know her better. But meeting up in real life would cause the illusion to shatter. I carved her name into all the trees. Sang a song down on one knee. Looking at the underwear page of the Sears catalog like when I was 14. I'm levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around. I'm like an Indian Fakir tryna' meditate on a bed of nails with my pants pulled down."

Adrian's admitted that he doesn't feel emotions really, so i think unless they're very simple emotions (happy, sad, angry, excited) he probably doesn't know what he's feeling. Crushing on someone is confusing and annoying for the average person but for someone like Adrian, it's probably a lot harder to identify and deal with. But once he realizes whats going on, he probably goes into daydreaming mode about the person. Looking at dirty magazines (i have a feeling that Adrian thinks magazines are better than porn) and imaging his crushes face on the person. Having little fantasies about what he thinks dating her would be like. I don't think he'd be insecure in the traditional sense, like feeling he's not enough, but insecure in the sense that he's not "normal". Adrian would probably go out if his way to show that he's crushing on her, but again not in a traditional sense like flowers. He'd probably give her a something dnd related and hoped she knew how much it meant to him. Or yk kill someone for her. Same difference right?

"God took a rib from Adam, ground it up in a centrifuge machine. Mixed it with cardamom and cloves, microwaved it on the popcorn setting. While Adam was like "that really hurts." Going off into the tundra, so pissed at God And he started lighting minor forest fires, stealing osprey eggs. Messing with the bees who were trying to pollinate the echinacea. Until God said, "Ima smite you with loneliness. And break your heart in two." And Adam wept and wailed, tearing out his hair, falling on his knees Looked to the sky and said, "Thank God."

Okay so really quickly, i picture this entire verse as another one of Adrian's ramblings of the story of Adam and Eve in his perspective. It makes me cackle imagining him explaining this to Chris or Leota like it makes total sense. But aside from that, the theme i see in the song is the divinity in women femininity. Once Adrian moves on from crush to being in love with this person, he probably looks at them like they were his god. Adrian is not against begging and worshipping someone he loves. I think he would totally worship his girl like she was his god. Anything to please her.

Even if you don't like Weezer (or this song), i hope you're picking up what i'm putting down 💀🤚🏻 Also i hope those pizza rolls were good cause now i'm craving some. Hopefully this brightens your day a little!!! 💕💕

YESSSSSSSS oh my god this is such a great analysis for Adrian I think. My man is an ally. We love that.

Also my pizza rolls were bomb Lmao

1, 3 and 4 for discordant accord?

questions from here

skdlfjsldfjk thank u for sending some !!

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

Well! tbh discacc sorta started as impulse lmao. i'd been planning my magic prince au for a Month (which im still planning to do at some point) b4 i realized it was a bit too complicated a premise to have as my first fic. i decided i wanted to do smth Simpler, more straightforward, & so i wanted to do smth that in large part followed the plot of the game. built-in narrative outline like that. & when i thought about what i wanted to actually Do, i realized there were very few soulmate aus for this pairing, which i thought was weird considering how they really feel like soulmates of Some kind in the game. so i brainstormed what setup i wanted to do, since there's really So much u can do w/ a soulmate au. decided i wanted smth that got rid of the common pitfalls of the trope (Expected Romance between neat little pairs, lack of proper buildup to match the depth of the relationship, etc etc) and decided on the writing thing. built-in childhood friends au, which im a sucker for. and i was like. Yes. this is Perfect. brainstormed all of this in bed as well as the core plot things (like what happened in chapter 32 lol) and then the next day started writing. and i have not stopped writing yet. (magic prince au has thus gotten over a Year's worth of planning. when i can finally write it, it will be Glorious)

gonna put the other answers under a readmore so this doesnt get too long and also bc my answer to #3 has potentially triggering content (related to the tag on the post) SO

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

i love a lot of parts of the fic but tbh my absolute fav individual part has GOTTA b from the first scene of chapter 14

Without thinking, he opened the scissors. He slowly pressed the point of one of the blades down, right in the center of the message. The pressure turned into pain, and he watched in morbid fascination as a pinprick of blood welled up beneath it.

If he wanted, he could slash up along his vein.

He could be

Just.

Like.

His.

Mother.

With a gasp, Goro threw the scissors across the room. They crashed into a wall, then fell to the floor with a clatter.

not quite a single line BUT. god. i wrote this whole scene in the like 30 minutes before dnd and it was all i could think about throughout it. the parallel to his mother was 100% unintentional, but as soon as i realized it i KNEW i had to capitalize on it. and i realized it where goro does in this, right where he's got the blade poised above his skin, JUST like his mom. and i wrote in his Horror at the realization, & how it snapped him out of it. & the setup of the line, how it's broken in his Horror, you can Feel it setting in............. Chef's Kiss

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

ksjdflksdjf a hard question for a Single line of dialogue bc i love so much of the conversations, BUT. for a Single line. it’s Gotta be from the sunset scene in the beach chapter (chapter 26)

Akira tilted his head as he smoothed a thumb below Goro's eye. "On TV, you have all of those things… but it falls flat. You're always pretty, but never in the way you are when it's just us two." He shifted his hand to cup Goro's cheek. "When it's just us, there's such a depth to your eyes… They're always alive with so much emotion."

Goro leaned his face into Akira's touch. Their foreheads almost brushed together with how close they were. Their breaths mingled in a way Goro always thought he'd hate, but found himself not minding with Akira. He stared into his eyes, waiting for whatever Akira would say next.

Akira moved infinitesimally closer, until there was barely any distance between their lips. He whispered, "They call our eyes the windows into our souls, so it's no wonder I think yours are so beautiful."

THIS SHIT ^^^^^^^^^^ that line of akira’s at the end (with the stuff b4 listed for context) it’s just. lskjdflskjdfskldfj. when i thought up that line i practically Yeeted myself out of bed to write it down bc GOD. it’s so fucking romantic. i love it so much. that whole scene was Sooooo good but God. akira pulling out all the stops. who knew this boy could be so romantic.
