I’m backk! since 🌿 was taken can I be 🫧 anon or if that ones taken then 🪸 anon? (whichever is available… if those are taken then just pick a random emoji for me v_v)

ANYWAYSS!! imagine marathoning a show with idia n’ getting dicked down in a prone bone position<3 ahsbandjjs I def think idia can’t handle eye contact during intimate moments, he just gets so flustered & so he resorts to positions that don’t require him looking at you directly but can still make you feel good<3

AAAAAA 🫧 ANON!!!!!! Your brain is so galaxy,,, omg getting dicked down in prone bone while watching a show........ that position is so perfect for Idia. Neither of you have to look at the other, so it works well if you're also shy or awkward. Idia is much more confident when no one's watching him or when he's wearing a mask, so prone bone allows him to say and do all of the things he may not be able to if you were looking him directly in the eyes. >_< imagine you're burying your face into one of his many plushies while he's just fucking you silly and you're holding onto it for dear life because this is the third creampie and you feel so full and your head is so empty and Idia just won't stop moving his hips.

At that point, it's a struggle to focus on the show, so Idia will have to run some trivia by you afterwards to make sure you're ready for the next season. <3 and if you don't get all of the questions right, you'll just have to sit in his lap and cockwarm him while the both of you watch it once more. And this time you should pay attention!

#twisted chit chat #n/sfw #🫧 anon #idia trying to explain his favorite show's lore to you but you're too fucked out to retain anything #same energy as azul trying to tell you about economics and business practices after he just came inside you #or riddle trying to help you memorize all 810 rules of the queen of hearts #now is *not* the time for that gentlemen!!! >_<

i greatly enjoy the trend of doing media explanations/recaps with fun lil detective style evidence boards i love a visual presentation

#mikes mic started it i think and im glad other ppl are doing it too its never stuff id go out of my way to watch but i like seeing the #passion other people have to explain all the crazy of their fave things out to others #i Would be willing to watch lost i probably wont but that one intrigued me #if i retained info better id love to do something like that #but then i think of all the time id spend and oof #kae.txt #and the board makers always proud of their work and it's like shah you should be you went rewatched/read a series/book and took notes on #what went down to relay to all us viewers at home and you did a fun lil thing with it

listen. I don't just love father brown because I first saw it while ill with the flu or because it's consistently kind to the outcast in a way that has reviewers calling it Too Woke, obviously a vote in its favour. or because the recurring thief character is very pretty to watch. though those are significant parts of it.

I love it because after eight seasons father brown sits down with the village drunk (a munitions expert in the war, has a soft spot for the parish secretary, name of harold or blind harry) to find out why he gave a murder suspect a false alibi and harry explains to him, calm as you like, that seeing the life leave someone's eyes changes a person, that it's what he reckons brought father brown to his faith, that it's what drove him to drink, and he didn't see that shadow in the guy the police are chasing this time. and father brown, rather than justifying or correcting or dodging or doubting him, says he knows how unjust the situation is. that he got something good out of the horrors of the war. that harry really didn't.

it is not a perfect show and yes I have problems with it but gosh, this is a character who's largely used for comedic beats, albeit kindly, and a scene like this isn't out of place at all but it still takes my breath away. we could've been left with this as subtext, y'know? I hadn't even put together that his alcoholism must have been trauma. but instead harry tells us this directly, tells us it's about guilt, that that's something he shares with father brown, who is competent and so often cheerful and I can't even imagine when he was younger, and it's a moment of such unexpected humanity and respect. and it's such a strange thing to see these characters side by side like that.

the scene ends with father brown calling harry a good man, and harry denying it ("they was only young lads" "so were we, harold. so were we.") and the two them sharing a drink as father brown gets a bit watery-eyed and I'm crying too over my nice cosy 'this is a concerning number of murders for a sleepy english village' show and just. hi. what. ow.

I also haven't recovered from the episode that turned into a heist halfway through but frankly I'm only mentioning that because I don't know how to wrap up a post like this. (it was good though. there were two separate honeypots, three if you count the impromptu replacement, one character terrible at grifting and one unexpectedly great at it, and, somehow, a con within a con. it was really very fun. get a show that can do both, I guess?)

#back on my bullshit (unrepentant) #I was raised so protestant I retain a deep suspicion of priests so this remains very startling to me #something something father brown handshake emoji iroh #love where they are now no clue how they got there but it's always kind of a shock to be reminded there was blood along the way #also like. the kindness. the tea. the fondness for life's small pleasures. #pretending to be harmless and friendly and also BEING harmless and friendly to the core. #this is an association I had not made before so if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go hide my face in a pillow about it #father brown #falderal speaks #love a show that waits until you're comfy and then smacks you with a very human reminder of the horrors of war #love a character with. moral injury. listen shush I'm very predictable I just hadn't put together that it was father frikking brown too #silly little (not little) guy who elbows his way into situations by smiling pleasantly at people and who likes cake and jazz music #it's not like I forget he has depth I just. forget that the story GOES there #and so respectfully. harold who is usually slightly comic relief getting a serious moment that explains a lot and doesn't even feel jarring #I'm stopping here but like. good show‚ show. I did in fact have unexpected emotions about it.

if Bruce "has a guy" for all his adoptions it would be hilarious/cute if his "guy" is social worker Elaine Thomas, to which he owes about a dozen fruit baskets and 1.5 million dollars

Mr. House’s personality makes a lot of sense when you learn his Charisma STAT is a 1. His Intelligence is a 5. While his Perception, Endurance and Luck are all 10.

Especially when you consider what Dr. Usanagi says when you go to get a luck implant.

"If I implant the Probability Calculator in your frontal lobe, you'll be able to calculate odds a little better. It's not quite the same as making you luckier, but you'll be able to nudge things your way more often."

#The only thing I don't get is why Mr. House's agility a 5. #ALSO HIS CHARISMA IS A ONE YET HE STILL PULLED MY COURIER 😂😭!!! #Anytime my courier and him gamble SHE ALWAYS LOSES!!!! #He will NEVER just let her win because of his ego and his mindset that she'll never get better at gambling if he does. #He is nice however and will thoroughly explain the rules to her if she doesn't know how to play. #One thing I like about Mr. House's character is he's ALWAYS taking the time to explain things. #٩( ^ᗜ^)و ´-LIKE if you fail a Science Skill and courier six says: “You must be like . . . a brain in a jar!” #Mr. House just explains that you're wrong: #No. While brains demonstrated some use as organic processors in the robots produced by General Atomics International... #They never retained personality once removed from the human body. #MaddyMoreauPost #Mr. House

Still thinking about the finale of course and how little sense it makes for the sacrifice to be final because like... all the things people compare it to were people sacrificing for a good reason.

Kanan died on a mission to get Hera out, they succeeded and they rescued her and he died to protect them. He died to protect the woman he loved, the child she hadn't told him about but he might have sensed, and the squad that had become his family. Narratively his death pushes Ezra to the place he needs to be to accept the loss of his parents and resist Palpatine's attempt to make him give it all up to get his parents back. It sets the stage for Ezra to sacrifice himself less fatally in the endgame of the season.

The Rogue One crew died to get the plans to the Death Star out - their sacrifice is the reason A New Hope can even happen and we have the context to see why it's worth it.

Vader sacrifices himself and kills the Emperor and the reason people hate Somehow Palpatine Has Returned is partially because it negates that. We know the impact of the sacrifice.

But look at Tech's decision to drop. If he dies here then he dies to save his family... on a mission he insisted they go on in the first place, where they did not accomplish their goal to track Hemlock and they did not figure out where Crosshair was being held. And immediately after they literally crash anyway and Omega almost dies. This instantly puts them to Ord Mantell where they get betrayed and Omega is captured.

But what about character arcs? Surely it had some kind of payoff for the character decisions? Well, Hunter wants to go back to Pabu. Understandable. He also wanted to do that anyway because he thought this was too risky a way to try to get Crosshair back (turns out he was right) so Tech's sacrifice didn't change his direction. Wrecker and Echo are still pretty much on the same trajectory. Omega is sad but her actions to get her brothers back are exactly the same as what she would have done prior.

And unlike the other examples, that's the end of the season, if they have a narrative planned to redeem this we aren't going to see it for a while and the fact is still that if he dies here then he dies as a result of his own decision to push to take this risk and find Crosshair, creating a situation where if he hadn't been so eager to save someone he would still be alive, Omega wouldn't be captured, and they would still have the opportunity to save Crosshair another way.

His death moves nothing forward, changes nothing except to make life harder for the heroes, and doesn't motivate any of them in a direction they weren't already heading in. It's also given no narrative time to breathe before we're thrown into the Omega captured and has a sister subplot. It would be pure shock value in a way that these writers are better then. But a fakeout that moves him into place for a third season narrative payoff? Then we're getting somewhere and the lack of time devoted to the Aftermath makes sense.

Like I've written a lot of things about why I think Tech is alive but when it comes down to it, I think it's the better narrative decision and I don't actually think the writers are bad enough at their jobs not to be able to convincingly make a main characters death feel important.

#the bad batch #the bad batch spoilers #even if he's Alive it does retain some shock value motivation #in that in the age of social media advertising leaving it off on an ambiguous cliffhanger like that WILL get lots of word of mouth going #TBB broke into the top ten of all tv shows social media engagement because Tech's ambiguous death shot it up 77 places #but when it's left that ambiguous there is nothing less satisfying than a reveal that it was exactly what it looked like all along #meanwhile if he's not dead his comeback will make the kids this show is actually for lose their little minds in a good way #and like my own feelings aside that's a much more important motivation than whether or not reddit dudebros are impressed by the stakes #sorry to people who expect me to get over this anytime soon this will happen again #dare i make a similar post on reddit explaining why the 'narrative stakes' obsession is stupid and Tech's death makes no sense to keep? #time will tell

this is obviously a very premature feeling but like. i want them to keep oscar on the show and i want his scenes to be tolerable to watch and if they go full realism on consequences here i am not really sure what direction they could take it that i would be able to appreciate as an audience member for whom he is blorbo... if he like. loses his job and is ostracized i don't know how they could justify keeping him on the show in a way that is both narratively meaningful and something i am comfortable watching. he does not need to suffer extended social or material punishment.

would rather they somehow magically manage to keep the details in the immediate family and that dynamic changes but his conflict with the society in which he lives is more internal for him — e.g. having to mentally confront what Could have happened to him and his family if ada had not come to the rescue and the thought of that combined with the changed family dynamic/relationship being shameful enough on its own that it changes his mindset and behavior without like. actually ruining his life

but all the people who are like. i want him to lose his job i want George Russell to prevent him from ever working in banking again i want him to be impoverished and humiliated and suicidal etc... could not be me, sorry

#i think it would suck actually if the main gay character's life is ruined and he has a terrible reputation and is beyond social redemption. #because at that point why keep him on the show. #especially when a substantial subset of the audience is going to experience schadenfreude about it. #i do not want anyone fictional or otherwise to be feeling schadenfreude about oscar sorry!!!! #no schadenfreude allowed. #the gilded age spoilers #i literally will not be able to handle it if there's on screen gossip about the situation at all it will make me want to die #also like. the rest of the family does not deserve that either and i am not interested in literally any of this going full tragedy. #if it's problematic of me to want the protagonists of the show i watch to retain their rich people social standing and Not have to #abruptly change their lifestyle then like. sorry not sorry #also while i don't think it's out of character for oscar i think it could have been explained better for the folks at home if social media #is any indication. #& it's not a choice they Had to make either so i reserve the right to be grumpy about them making it if it goes in a direction i dislike. #i am pretty much already at my canonical whump and secondhand embarrassment limit here!

misc dak-wai lore they're fascinated by animals but animals tend to be wary of them, which always makes them kind of depressed. after the moonrise tower steelclaw incident they stopped trying to approach stray critters and instead stare mournfully at them from a distance. halsin's like i can go over and talk to that cat and see if it wants to be pet? and dak-wai (clearly really wants to pet the cat) says no... i can't.... and doesn't elaborate because halsin was not present and they don't want him to know. they genuinely feel almost as guilty for killing that cat as they feel about isobel's death.

dak-wai staring at gale talking to tara like 🥺 you have to tell her to stop eating the pigeons. they also had to be confronted about overfeeding the owlbear cub. if it's still hungry i should keep giving it food. i don't understand the problem. I think in their little house with a beautiful garden ending lae'zel and dak-wai have an absurdly fluffy cat who lae'zel proudly describes as a fierce and merciless hunter while dak-wai gets scratched for trying to carry it like a baby

#dak-wai #fascination with animals is in fact a retained trait. just expressed differently nowadays. #shadowheart confides in dak-wai about her fear of wolves and they very matter of factly explain #the easiest way to kill a wolf and where their internal organs are located and she's like. what? #lemming getting free forest gnome speak with animals spoiled me. i missed it so bad major part of why i made ephros a ranger #One thing about me i'm never making a character who doesn't love animal. i love aminal. fucking creacher

[almoststedytimetravel]

Alright, because I need to plan out everything before I start conquest I'm putting up my pairings and their reasonings

Corrin/Kaze (I like their support, Kaze bby girl you are deserving of my love and devotion. He's also very attractive)

Jacob/Beruka (I paired up Jacob last and the only remaining women were Elise and Beruka and I'm not pairing up Elise. Hope their support is good because I've never read it)

Azura/Laslow ("You will be my inspiration" "and you my muse" "May our song never end" Sickening, they have replaced the inside of my brain. Also conquest makes this pair a huge ouch, an owie if you will. Also Soleil looks very pretty with light blue hair)

Silas/Charlotte (I don't know why I did this one. Sophie looks fine with blond hair, but her growth rates have very big numbers)

Xander/Peri (Mutuals gave me quality food for these two and giving Sieg the ugliest hair possible is the true goal of fates)

Leo/Felicia (Gives Forrest very pretty hair)

Benny/Mozu (Big guy and small girl. Very cute)

Keton/Camilia (Little red riding hood but she's also a princess with a pretty lavender streak of hair)

Arther/Effie (Cute hair colour for Percy)

Odin/Nyx (Nyx stating plainly that she really likes Odin's theatrics and her envy over Odin's passion for magic. I really like them. Also Odin saying that Nyx's backstory is way more dark and tragic than his when Odin's backstory is *Wildly gesturing at Awakening* all of that, delicious)

Niles/Selena (Bisexuals with abandonment issues, but one also has commitment issues in this specific context. Niles falling in love with Selena because of her girl fail antics and Selena saying "Alright you can hit it but we can only get married after I tell you my big secret post game". Also the Nina, Soleil, Ophelia trio being the awakening trio's kids feel right. Like they're all besties but this just feels right, you know)

#Outing myself as both a rare pair enjoyer and as the type of person who pairs units up for the hair colour #Idk what hair colour to give myself for Midori #but I might go with green #My taste in men is very limited but Kaze is very attractive #Also I like to think that Odin teaches Nyx swordplay because she's burnt out on magic and she should try something new #Vantage nos gaming family #Also also Nyx has a small freak out when she first sees Ophelia's brand because she thinks it's her curse #Odin has to explain it too her #fe14 #fire emblem fates #Leo being retainer-less at the end of conquest because both Odin and Niles go to Ylisse #I think Niles deserves to go to kinder world where the horrors can't reach him #Azura too but this conquest and she's dead #Actually this goes for Nyx as well but in like a “Getting a fresh start type of way” #Can a fujoshi daughter and himejoshi mother really repair their relationship?
