i like think about machete's death as a culmination of his paranoia and eventual cruelty and vasco as the single ray of light loving him up through the end. even through as terrible as he becomes, the thought of vasco's heart being with him even as he chokes on his own blood as the one thing that he could hold on to. what is it to love something you know is vile, and to mourn their loss regardless. i could drink the tragedy like wine

🔥 I’m so curious any unpopular opinions you might have about Nikolai….
do you want me crucified? please nikolai is this fandom's baby 😭😭
I'm alksjdflks- neutral on Nikolai at the best of times and I dislike him at the worst of times.
as a character, I find him fun, but I also find the 'charming rogue' archetype tired when it comes to him. I don't necessarily hate the archetype, but for some reason the way bardugo leans on it so much to make nikolai appealing rubs me the wrong way. I think it's a cheap imitation of what could have been a better crafted character. the times I have found nikolai most appealing are when he's cunning, political, and practical - especially after he's infected by the merzost. I also really like how similar he actually is to the darkling in a lot of ways, that's compelling to me. but all of that just makes me neutral towards him.
what makes me often swing into dislike is his function within the narrative. he essentially serves as the White Savior, and even when he gives zoya power (which in itself is handled unrealistically), it is with the same functional plot power and armor of a White Savior. I don't like the way bardugo handled the grisha and the monarchy, and unfortunately nikolai is just too tied into it all.
but actually the biggest unpopular opinion about him for me is that I think he should have also been an antagonist. not only would it have actually given bardugo's message about 'men in power' a lot of weight, but it would have been a brilliant study in how being outcast and othered doesn't automatically make you bad, and how being loved and accepted (and actually charming lol - he would serve as a much better 'charming abuser in hiding' than the darkling) doesn't necessarily make you good.
because this scene -
“I’m telling you that if you want to be a leader, it’s time you started thinking and acting like one.”
“I’ve heard this before, you know, from the Darkling and his supporters. Be brutal. Be cruel. More lives will be saved in the long run.”
“Do you think I’m like the Darkling?” I studied him—the golden hair, the sharp uniform, those too-clever hazel eyes.
“No,” I said slowly. “I don’t think you are.” I rose to go join Mal. “But I’ve been wrong before.”
-is the perfect setup to such a plot, and it would have given actual weight to what bardugo was trying to convey about men and power. it also would have gotten rid of the white savior trope, cast a more realistic light on the vilification of her only activist for the oppressed minority, and added more complexity to all of the characters.
tl;dr - unpopular opinion: nikolai would have served better as another antagonist, and I think his narrative function was unpleasant
send me a 🔥 for an unpopular opinion (x)

my best friend has been very distant w me lately and i asked today if she wanted to hang out and she said she probably couldn't bc it's her brothers birthday but she would let me know if she could and i have her location and i just looked and she's at her boyfriends house rn....
#we have it bc we're roomates so we started sharing locations when we first moved in like in case someone doesn't come home at night or smth#she recently told me that she wants to move out bc she has always wanted to live alone and she can finally afford it. and i asked her#directly like is there an issue because she is so non confrontational so she has never ever mentioned me doing anything that bothers her#and i said please tell me if there's something wrong because it would really suck if there was and i never got a chance to fix it because#you never told me. and she said no it has nothing to do with that i really just feel like it's time for me to live on my own. and a couple#days ago she was like okay i'm next in line for my apartment i'll probably move out in april. and i try to get her to hang out still and#she always has something else going on and i swear every night this week she's been at her boyfriends.#and if i see her around our apartment and try to make conversation at all she's so like short about it and barely responds like will only#give one word answers. i feel like it kind of started when i started dating e but i realized that i was spending less time with her and i#didn't want to be the girl that loses all my friends bc of a boyfriend so i started specifically reaching out to hang out with her and she#says no most of the time and never asks me. like i don't know what else i can do.#i'm like maybe it's bc of her boyfriend? bc they've been on again off again for a long time and previously when they were together it was#really distant with her like i barely saw her EVER. and they were mostly broken up for the past couple years and have been together i think#for a while again... but she knows i don't approve of that relationship and so she would like not say when they were talking again. so maybe#since lately they've been hanging out or dating or WHATEVER she doesn't fucking tell me what's going on with him. maybe that's why.#i literally like try to think of ways it could be my fault and maybe i'm being crazy but i cannot even think to blame myself for more than a#fleeting second bc i'm like. i have ASKED HER directly if there is an issue or something i do that bothers her and she says no. so even if#i'm somehow pissing her off would i ever know to change anything?? i just feel so frustrated bc it's like she's an entirely different person#to me. like this is not the person i know. and i don't know what else i could possibly do like i feel like we need to sit down and have a#conversation about it but what good does that do if she just acts like nothing is wrong. but i don't want to lose my friend i have such a#hard time making friends. i've known her since i was 14 like i can't imagine my life without her. we were the only two in our whole friend#group in high school to get out of the church i still love those other girls but we have so little in common now.

What’re your favorite kh ships?
If I'm being honest... I really only true ship SoKai these days (my forever OTP). Mainly because I feel like that's the only one I can really ever see actually being canon (well, aside from Yozora and Nameless Star, and I also ship them: a lot of that for Versus XIII reasons. My heart won't let go). And, I mean, not that a ship needs to be canon for me to ship them. Not at all. But I'll admit that I've grown out of some of the KH ships a wee bit, as I've found more adult ones in other fandoms to get invested one.
That being said, the KH ships that I do still care about are:
SoKai
RokuShi
Namiku
RokuNami
Terqua (though it seem these days the kids call it Terrqua. Or Terraqua?)
Gulava
Skulmera
Playerlitzia
YozoraNameless Star
Xehaqus
AkuSai
SoRiKai
RiKai
Roxiri (though not in canon. More in fanon. More for crack, kind of, actually. And friendship first and foremost)
I'm warming up to Replinami some these days, because of the tragedy of it all.
I've also started to warm up to Rion a wee bit... that past Shanna thought she'd never see.
SoNami in CoM only.
I could do XionRoxasNaminé. NamiXI, too.
VenAqua slightly, but I'd always choose Terra and Aqua over it (but one thing about the Wayfinder Trio for me, if I'm being truthful, is that I prefer the three of them as friends before any romance with any of them. Part of me even really thinks all three of them are truly just meant to be friends.)
A lot of people ship Ven and Strelitzia for some reason. And I doubt it'll ever happen, tbh. Who knows if they'll ever even really get a chance to meet and be friends. But I do get why they think it'd be cute.
And while I don't know if I truly ship them anymore, a part of me will always have a soft spot for Ventus and Naminé. Because for some reason, I really used to ship this crack pairing, back in the day.
I also don't really know if I ship them... but despite what I said above, I do get the feeling that Nomura might be doing something with Lauriam/Marluxia and Elrena/Larxene.
#i used to LOVE vanaqua and vannami. and some of my heart probably always will for that reason (mainly the former). but for the most part i#think i'm over it#i also used to ship ephemer and ava a tiny bit. but i'd pick gulava any day#i also used to get into olette pairings. but tbh. i just can't really be bothered anymore#i also used to somewhat ship ira and invi because of that comment in back cover about them having to see each other less now so the others#wouldn't get the wrong idea (because taken out of context it sounds like they're dating). or aced and invi because they reminded me (and#everyone) of terra and aqua. but i was never really serious about those to begin with and have let them go. -shrugs-#really. at the end of the day. it's sokai. forever and always: sokai#asked and answered#and really the main ones for me are sokai rokushi namiku rokunami and terqua#but mostly sokai -i say. sounding like a broken record-#and while we're mentioning everything (because somehow that's what this post turned into) i used to be big on larxel (like khii days)#but not for many--MANY--years#wait. i do like gulava a lot too. and rikai. because riku and kairi--in whatever form they're in--don't get enough love#there's also a tiny bit of me that ot3s eraqusxehanortvor. xehaqus is the otp and they're perfect together: i know and agree with this#and yet they have an interesting dynamic with vor. i feel like before dark road started they were the SLIGHTEST bit of a trio. not truly#because xehanort and eraqus still spent way more time together but it was there a little bit#and it's interesting to me that eraqus. of all people. gets annoyed at vor snooping on them some at the beginning of dark road#before the game came out if you told me something like that would have happened i would have guessed it was xehanort. but nah. it's eraqus#and xehanort moreso telling him to chill and letting vor tag along (and the eraqus thing wasn't really serious. and more in good fun#because he DOES care about her). and then they're both DEVASTATED when she dies. and vor really cared about them#also a slight ot3 with xehanorteraqusurd because despite what i just said about vor it's URD they spend the most time with in dark road and#i like their dynamic with her too. -shrugs-#vanikai a smidge back in the day

thinking about loz byler au again (breath of the wild specifically rn) and my brain keeps going "oooh the party as the champions" bc it sounds like it works out PERFECTLY there are 6 people in the party there's 6 champions if we count link and zelda, who are obviously mike and will, and then I remember that this would mean 4 of them have to be dead for like. the entirety of the main plot

Hey!!! Love your writing and your works!
Was wondering how you'd interpret IK meeting Michael...AND GOD.
Like in OM! Theres this one part where Simeon invites MC and Solomon to the Celestial Realm and they go there.He than said "Oh Michael would've liked to meet u but he's busy"
This made me curious on how IK would react if she'd meet Michael and by some absurd means,also meet Father aka God.Like would she just bombard them whit questions of what's real and what's fake in the Bible? Or would she be all shy and quiet
(honestly I think both)
C-could you Also maybe write some headcannons? If you want to ofc!!!
thank you!! and- first i've got to make the now-obligatory michael don't leave me here michael joke
and now that that's out of the way - depending on whether michael is really a benign force or not, either ik immediately gains a new uncle upon meeting her, or she spends the entire meeting just side-eyeing him
she's got a good impression of him from luke, but she's also suspicious about the celestial realm in general - so it'd be down to how michael acts. in the uncle michael situation, it definitely wouldn't be long before ik's asking him stuff like "so is turning water into a wine a thing you can do or was that just a weird party trick?"
as for god... he probably does have a human-looking vessel, but in my head he's usually occupying a much grander form, the kind that'd blind a person to look at - so when ik somehow secures a meeting with him, solomon's like 'IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE. TAKE THIS' and gives her a pair of extremely thick sunglasses, plus a massive sunhat
when she walks into the meeting chamber the gathered angels are under the impression a walking hat has come to meet their great and immortal father. at first they're outraged by this human's lack of respect, but god is so charmed by the sheer audacity that he just tells them to shush

Andrew Scott & Claire Foy at a taping of Happy, Sad, Confused Live with Josh Horowitz at Symphony Space.
Takeaways:
Claire Foy is a an absolute gem! Confirmed.
Andrew got emotional again at the idea that a movie like All of Us Strangers would have even been made when he was younger and that he’d be able to be in it. You can really feel how much he loves this one and how much it means to him. I swear to god I nearly cried too. So sweet.
Claire brought up something so interesting that I hadn't really thought about after my first viewing of the movie -- That when a child loses their parents, obviously the child is losing so much. But the parent also loses the ability to be apart of their child's life. I guess as someone who doesn't have kids, I hadn't really thought about that. But that idea that you would have kids and then not be able to watch them grow up is gut wrenching. I can't imagine.
Claire loves the word “Surrender”. Hard agree.
Andrew hates the word “Wednesday”.
They reenacted that scene from Harry Met Sally and let me tell you…. Iconic.
Andrew has read all of the “filthy, feral” things you’ve posted about him on the internet. But he’s sorta…. Okay with it? 😂
I have to find me someone who looks at me the way Andrew looks at Jamie Dornan giving his detailed recipe of roasted potatoes. 
Andrew wants to bring Vanya to New York! 🙌🏽

Hii, would you do 1, 2 , 4, 8 and 11?🙏🏼
hello, darling! why, yes; yes i would 😘💕
1. Who would end a heated argument by defending their actions with ‘because I love you!’ ?
AHHH, anon, i love you for that one, because this is actually one of my favourite tropes ever. the heated "because i love you" mid-argument... and of course it's a thousand times more delicious if they're not dating yet. the stunned silence... the "wait, what did you just..." and trying to figure out if they meant it... GOOD FOOD. mwah.
and for piarles -- ahhh, i'm actually going to take this as an excuse to write a little mini fic/plot bunny idea that's been running around my brain for forever. so here we go: imagine pierre, in his alpine era feeling happier and freer than ever, making the most of his freedom and, uh, celebrating. in bed. with anyone and everyone. except, most notably, charles. he never invites charles into his bed. and of course charles notices. how could he not?
charles doesn't know what he's supposed to think. should he be hurt that pierre apparently wants to celebrate with everyone except his best friend? should he be worried that he did something wrong? is pierre just not attracted to him? (charles doesn't think that one for too long, btw. he knows he's too pretty.) so i think he'd be a confused mess, bless him, but also probably getting a little more annoyed each time he hears about pierre fucking yet another person who isn't him. because come on. what is pierre's problem? what would be so bad about getting charles in his bed, too?
and one day - i'm thinking after a shitty race, when he's already pissed off - he sees pierre making out with some other driver (george? 😏) behind the alpine motorhomes, and charles just decides that enough is enough. this is getting ridiculous.
so charles pulls them apart, and drags pierre into his motorhome. sits him down, confused and more than a little offended. but charles isn't having any of it. "explain yourself," he says, all hot and challenging and angry. pierre is more confused than ever, and he wants to know what charles is on about. charles, in turn, wants to know why pierre will fuck anyone in the paddock except, apparently, charles himself.
and pierre of course gets defensive. "i can fuck whoever i want, charlito." and charles is like "i'm not saying you can't! i just want to know, why not me?" and they go back and forth like that for a while, arguing and getting more and more annoyed, until eventually pierre snaps and shouts "because i love you!"
charles is just like :o - and pierre winces, but carries on. "because i love you, and i don't love any of them. so it doesn't matter if it's just a one-night-stand. but charles, if it's you... if i ever get you in my bed, i would never want you to leave again."
and charles is just. speechless. because what. he expected a lot, but he never even imagined that. pierre loves him?!! pierre loves him. what. (pierre also almost walks away in the time it takes charles to process this momentous realisation, but charles comes to his senses just in time to grab his arm, and kiss him within an inch of his life, and, yeah. needless to say, they figure it out xD)
anyways, yes, uh. that's how i think piarles for the ending a heated argument with "because i love you!" trope would go <3
2. What would they do if the other woke in a manic state after a nightmare?
answered here 💙
4. Which one is more protective? Who needs to be ‘protected’?
answered here ❤️
8. What happens if one of them gets sick?
answered here 💞
11. Do either try to hide their emotions if upset? Can the other still tell?
answered here 🫶
(obligatory otp asks)

what do you like specifically about Kiryu?
Tumblr media
the fact he has a laundry list of dumb things he's done throughout the games
#snap chats#LMAO LIKE IS THIS THE SAME ANON OR IS TIMING HILARIOUS#anyways to actually answer the questions#What Do I Like Specifically About Kiryu idk :) i say he reminds me of my dad a lot and that is true#mostly when it comes to fatherhood tho. and when i say that ima get people sayin 'im so sorry' but no my dads great 😭#and ik kiryu aint a saint and he aint perfect but he gives me the same vibes as my dad does#beyond that tho he's just silly :) i like how despite being an intimidating guy he's still very cute in a way#he's also very earnest about things- in his Cool Kiryu way of course#he doesnt shirk learning about things and he's always open to new experiences and that's so sweet#and sometimes his goofy philosophical speeches do get to me. Again it very much reminds me of my dad he does the same A LOT#and kiryu's just dorky i like how he likes manga i like how he likes pocket circuit#and even if he was reluctant to be ono michio it was very sweet that he took the role seriously#and wanted the successor to ono michio to be a perfect one#he's just a very sincere guy and i love it#now for the DUMBEST thing he's done. every instance he's tried to have someone else take care of haruka#off the top of my head this happens twice but its like kiryu youre DUMB#STOP ACTING LIKE YOU CAN'T BE A GOOD DAD TO HER YOU'RE MAKING THIS A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY#also kiryu just dumping the tojo on daigo. i mean it worked out I Guess but still that was the craziest gamble for this organization#and tbh poor majima for kiryu dragging him back into the tojo to watch over daigo#not really 'dumb' but inconsiderate so yeah that was p cringe#this was The Kiryu Post thanks for reading everyone i love kiryu

Pffft , if Adam were to ask how the two of them met , Six would tell the real story but Preacher would twist it a bit just to call Six "ugly and stinky" lmao
gshdghshss I think Preacher would tell Adam some of the truth - the roles that it and Six have taken over the years (some of them having been recorded in the Bible)
but you're right, Preacher would find some way to twist it back so it can insult Six in some way like-
Adam: So you two are work colleagues?
Six: Yeah-
Preacher, completely deadpan: Unfortunately.
Six: >:(

12 !! it's fun
Thank you so much for being a trooper and giving me distraction🫂❤️
the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
John Winchester:
Listen, look, listen!!!! Jeffrey Dean fucking Morgan okay. Leave me the fuck alone.
Yes he did do the boys wrong but come on. He had heaven, hell and Mary's fucking demon deal stacked up against him. He played the shit cards he was dealt, okay.
Look beyond the poor Sam and Dean puppy dog shit and join the John girlies. Look at JDM for fuck's sake. Do yall not have any taste!?
The late 90s, early 00s cyclists:
Listen, I know they were all doped to hell. Most of them admitted to it, and even with the ones who didn't it's more than obvious. I know people like Lance were huge fucking assholes, and that guys like Marco and Jan had issues for fucking days.
But I just wanna be here for Jan's comeback. I wanna appreciate how far he has come. I wanna appreciate what Lance did for him, okay.
I wanna appreciate all of the other ones, like Erik and Udo and Rolf and Vino and Richard.
I wanna selective memory the shit out of this.
And there are so many stories to learn. So many ships to go crazy about. So many cool guys in that era and before it. And the fandom is missing out on it because it includes a topic that's uncomfortable.
Max Verstappen:
Listen, I know that some of yall of f1blr are fucking up in arms about this one but... what can I say... I like the guy. There's honestly not that much to it.
Who knows, maybe I would have ended up liking Seb or Lewis had I gotten into f1 earlier. I'm sorry, but that's just not the case.
To be perfectly honest, from a person that's just enjoying looking at all of this, it's crazy to me how insane some of yall are about it. It's literally not that deep. (You are like that random dude that punched fucking Merckx in the face)
(Honorable mention to Nelson Piquet.
Listen... my pussy chose that one and it's hard to argue with that.
I don't condone anything of what he says. In fact, you have me on record stating MULTIBLE TIMES that Nelson should just keep his fucking mouth shut. He is supposed to be there to look pretty, not to speak.)

Dropping a chapter a day sounds actually so cool!! Or how about posting a chapter every other day?
ooh that sounds good too! like it could be a 2-week long posting event with a a few days each to simmer with the chapters. i like that.
