thinking about the huntress returns and how fucking hard oliver tried to hide felicity from helena. how goddamn terrified this man was already of someone using felicity against him. how it wasn’t until helena did go after felicity that oliver agreed to take serious action against helena. how helena didn’t even hurt felicity but every ounce of self control oliver had disappeared. just. already, how goddamn scared oliver was of losing her. it was always always her. she was his one weakness, time and time again. yes, so was his family and other friends. but those were all pre-good relationships, the last remnants of his past life. dig came when he donned the hood, but he always knew dig could handle himself. that’s why he signed him on. he didn’t mean to sign felicity on- he didn’t want her involved in this, in danger because of him. but suddenly she was and without meaning to, he created his own greatest weakness. i just think that they. them. yeah.

I love meeting people's moms. It's like reading an instruction manual as to why they're nuts.

Lost Vocabularies that Might Express (The Memory of These Broken Impressions)

Stucky, Endgame Fix-it, Road Trip Get Together

An expression crosses Bucky’s face like a shadow, tightly controlled and gone fast. But he rolls his head to the side, looking over at Steve, calm and steady, worn by life and changed so much but still here, by this small fire and lit with the unsteady golden glow, under these too many stars.

“Everywhere I go,” Bucky says, “the past is this pit. But I’ve got to keep it behind me, because if I don’t, I’ll fall in. And someday I’m not going to have the strength to crawl back out. So it’s got to stay behind me, Steve—the big nothing right at the back of my feet.”

Steve stares at his walking-around miracle brought back to him by so much carnage and wretched injustice he’ll never be able to set right, not in all his remaining days.

Because here’s the truth: he’s never once caught Bucky and every time he’s ended up following, he’s been too late to save him from all this suffering—the war, the future, and the long fall into the cold that came in between.

Honesty is all he has to give, which may just be adding to the burdens of a man doomed to carry a terrible load he can’t put down.

But maybe there’s something in the old paradox: the weight that makes you feel lighter.

Maybe that’s what loving someone is.

I'm going through every single choice in I Can Teach You and this song is way gayer than I thought on my first 8 playthroughs! You can really see how much Grace and Freddie love each other. Pan has just met them and can tell there's romantic feelings there.

If you choose the right options you can see they have romantic feelings no matter who/what colour you choose.

#stray gods #stray gods the roleplaying musical #grace x freddie #grace x freddie OTP #I'm making a flowchart walkthrough of every single choice so I can pick all the ones I want

im gonna be unreasonable about Julian having the Klingon chef actually make their lunches rather than just getting the food from the replicators

#star trek: ds9 #a stitch in time #julian bashir #elim garak #otp: I need to know that someone forgives me #this is ABSOLUTELY something he picked up from Sisko #I dont think Julian can cook for shit and I think he knows that so he goes to the Klingon chef #to make one of Garak's favourites #and for himself of course #even knowing that the Klingon chef doesnt make HIS choice- chips- very well #just. he could've gone to the replicator and it would've been fine #but Sisko's influence. knowing the value of a hand-cooked meal #the extra bit of effort #and probably money- I imagine he had to pay for it #he's trying so hard #im in my feelings

peace - taylor swift all these people think love’s for show / but I would die for you in secret

These two statements are from the same (non-scholarly, to be fair) piece and it gave me whiplash. Mostly because I think the "reverse psychology" reading of the "why, this is hell" conversation is the least interesting approach possible. (It's not torture if you enjoy doing it, after all.)

...buuuuuut now cross-referencing the (good) left-hand comment with this article about submission and surrender in DF which makes the point that in seeking Mephistopheles' service Faustus looks to surrender himself not only in hell but also as a practitioner of magic during his life, and reads this as the evil goateed mirror universe version of ideal Calvinist devotion and surrender to God--so on the one hand you have Mephistopheles who is bound absolutely to serve Lucifer but is actually pretty unwilling/unhappy about it, and on the other you have Faustus who is actually (in form) the ideal of the willing servant but because of where he directs it, it's his complete destruction. And when you factor in Marlowe's harsh cosmology, with an active demonic presence and a strong sense of God's wrath but only the barest hint of love and mercy -- I don't think Marlowe is doing Milton's thing of presenting an attractive devil whom he then deflates along with the reader's sympathy; I think Marlowe is doing his own sort of subtle rage against the heavens. Oh, Mephistopheles, we're really in it now.

#doctor faustus #hot faust summer #faustus and mephistopheles are doomed to be each other's tormentors #that's what makes it fun #mephistopheles is condemned to enable someone in the exact same stupid choices he made #otp: as many souls as there be stars #faustposting at work again 🙃#(but on my lunch hour so it's okay)#...i like to read meph as conflicted about claiming faustus' soul #because on the one hand: wouldn't wish it on anyone and on the other: enables him to keep stupid human

Krisnix - Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibilty AU, for the prompts, please? 😉🌹

"You do not suppose me capable of real feeling-- do you, Klavier? I will admit that I do not wear my heart upon my sleeve as you do, but you are wrong to assume that it does not beat and burn and long just as fiercely as your own does. I have known of Mr. Edgeworth's prior claim for months now, and for those months, I have thought of little else than Phoe--than Mr. Wright and the regard that I still hold for him. But the family needs my strength and my resolve--not least after your own romantic disappointment--so I remain ever the sense to counterbalance your own sensibility."

Klavier said nothing in reply but placed a steady hand on his brother's shoulder, until Kristoph covered the hand with one of his own.

Send me a prompt and I'll write a 4-5 sentence drabble about it

#i think that's 5 sentences exactly #this is more of an excerpt from a longer scene than a proper drabble #not sure if i can or would write a full fic out of it #[*frantically resists urge to just have Phoenix give Kristoph the entire Hugh Grant proposal speech from Sense and Sensibility (1995)*]#no but like marianne!klavier and elinor!kristoph tho #especially given the reversal at the end of the book where marianne becomes the sense and elinor the sensibility #just perf for the gavin brothers #daryan would be willoughby in this I think #apollo seems kind of a weird choice for colonel brandon ngl so idk if he is or not #blackquill might work well tho #or franziska perhaps? assuming she's mellowed out some during the missing years #do i feel bad about making miles the lucy steele in this?#i mean a little?#since phoenix is an only child and doesn't have a brother; i guess that would mean miles ends up jilting phoenix for larry #which is just *chefs kiss*#jane austen aus my beloved #otp: the ice king and his firebird #krisnix #kristoph gavin #klavier gavin #thanks for the prompt sweetie

Lost Vocabularies that Might Express (The Memory of These Broken Impressions)

Stucky, Endgame Fix-it, Road Trip Get Together

They waste a lot of water and kiss, fooling around until the hot water tank gets tired of their shenanigans and gives out.

Standing on the linoleum floor, Steve shoves a towel at Bucky, who he gallantly saved from the cold water blast.

“Still taking hits for your guys in the field,” Bucky says, trying for a droll expression he’s too giddy to creditably manage.

The bathroom is small enough there isn’t one single stretch of bare wall he can back Bucky up against: an unfortunate oversight. So he settles for cupping his palm around the back of Bucky’s neck, sliding his fingers into the damp hair where drops of water are gathering, and kissing Bucky as soft and slow and devastating as he knows how.

“Guy,” he corrects. “You’re my guy. Person. Human being.”

Several jokes visibly occur to Bucky—and, yeah, the universe is so much bigger and stranger than either of them knew as those two kids from Brooklyn.

But all Bucky does is stare back for a long time in this warm tiny room, where steam has obscured every possible mirrored surface, before he leans in for a light brush of a kiss.

“Yeah, okay,” he says, quietly.
