I only just realized how fucked up Camp Half-Blood’s burial shroud tradition is. It never occurred to me as a kid, but it is really morbid.

When you leave on a quest, your own siblings prepare a cloth to LAY OVER YOUR DEAD BODY assuming you won’t return alive. And then IF you come back alive, you get to burn the shroud that, again, WOULD HAVE CONTAINED YOUR DEAD BODY as a sign of triumph. As soon as you leave camp premises, they’re already preparing for your death. And they treat it like a normal, fun group activity.

When Percy leaves for his first ever quest, he has no siblings, so the Ares cabin volunteers to make his burial shroud and they have a lot of fun with it. iirc they make X-ed out eyes and all and THIS IS TO BE LAID OVER A DEAD TWELVE YEAR OLD’S CORPSE. I’m all for group activities and children expressing creativity but maybe not through this particular medium…

Seriously, though, I genuinely love this aspect of the camp so much. It’s so morbidly funny and goes a long way to show how desensitized these kids are to death and maybe this is how they cope with it. Or maybe Chiron is just bad at raising kids.

Fun little Rue fact: Rue means to regret. And we know that Rue was one of the things that really sparked Katniss’ want to take down the capitol and end the hunger games. So Rue, inadvertently, made the capitol regret keeping the hunger games instituted.

Or maybe I’m wrong, I do need to re-read the books.

#also Katniss and her regret of not being able to save her #the hunger games #katniss everdeen #rue #I should reread the books

#💀 || dashboard games #OKAY I promise I am going to tackle the rest of the smash + pass asks today #I got a bit scared because so many came in and then drew a blank #But Roman is back again and ready to tackle the fuck out of them #Why I did this when they are waiting to be answered is beyond me #Holly and Rue's responses made me LOL too hard with what they got so #This ain't as fancy or funny but why the hell not #I'm so going to regret this

(Long ask im really sorry) I know you don’t intend on reading the Dead Men prequel but I had a few questions. In the leaked chapter a character describes Dexter as “the killer of women and children” and Saracen as “the man who killed his brothers and sisters in a blind rage”. Do you think this is in character? What kind of personal development do you think all of the Dead Men had to do after the war? Like they grew up around racism, homophobia and sexism. Do you think at any point they were those things? Because most of them haven’t had much character build they’ve been given the 2D good guy template but I’d be really interested to hear your thoughts on their ruthlessness and having to overcome internal bigotry

Okay so this ask got lost for months but like. Based on my personal headcanons?

Do you think this is in character?

Yes.

These men are soldiers. They are soldiers who were born into a country at war in an era where there was no Human Rights Act, where torture was (and still is, honestly) commonplace, and they survived centuries of bloody, all-out warfare, doing one of the most dangerous jobs imaginable.

I guarantee there is not a single man among them who has not, at some point, done something fucking heinous in the name of survival, or trauma, or sheer fucking sanity slippage.

Dexter would not be anywhere near the first soldier to snap and massacre innocents. Saracen would not be the first soldier to turn on his own squad. War is ugly and violent. Men who are drawn to war, in my experience, virtually always have a side to them that is also ugly and violent, and there is a catharsis for them in being able to let that side out, to vent it on people who "deserve it", because they're on the other side.

Now, I have no context for these descriptions, and everything done in war causes unforgivable, life-destroying trauma to someone. What is "good" and "heroic" to one side is "evil" and "cowardly" to the other. It could well be that Saracen found fellow Sanctuary soldiers engaging in behaviour he found morally reprehensible - assaulting a woman in an occupied village, for example - and killed the lot of them in retaliation. It could be that the women and children Dexter killed were combatants - the Sanctuaries used adolescent sorcerers in the 2013 conflict, and the Dead Men disagreed over whether to treat them as children or enemy soldiers. And China fought in the 500 Year War, so women have been allowed on the front lines in sorcerer society since at least the 1600s. But even if the women and children were innocent bystanders, and Saracen's attack was unprovoked...no one in that squad is an Honourable Man. Honourable Men don't survive doing the Dead Men's job in wars like Mevolent's; they die in them. These guys are trained killers and consummate survivors. Every one of them has blood on his hands. Every one of them has done unforgivable things. Every one of them has a monster inside him.

The only reason they seem like generic good guys is because up to this point, the only monster we've ever seen is Skug's. Doesn't mean the others aren't there. We just haven't been looking for them.

#skulduggery pleasant #saracen rue #dexter vex #sp meta #the people they are now are also the product of having made and regretted (or not) and learned from (or not) monstrous choices #like. skug has spent hundreds of years trying to redeem himself for five years as vile and he now presents himself as a good guy #but that doesnt mean he wasnt and isnt still capable of all that destruction and killing. he was and he is #and so is every one of his team #albeit to a lesser degree

I love the name Rue for Grim. It's almost like swearing revenge but softly. "You will rue the day..." yada yada

I'm glad! I actually chose the name Rue for Grim because of her regrets and that's what rue means, it means regret (ex."you will rue the day" = "you will regret the day"). But I actually love the idea of it also being a way for her to quietly swear revenge. She's still alive despite everything the Sith did to her. She's alive and now she has nothing to fear. Because she can allow the story to stay the same. And the Empire is going to regret that. Right now Grim has her regrets about being unable to stop Order 66, but one day the Empire is going to regret causing it and enforcing it.

Because someone who has nothing left to lose, is a dangerous person.

#grim kennet #rue kenobi #i never saw it as grim softly swearing revenge #but i love that concept #it's an admission of her regrets #and it's a quiet promise of revenge #especially considering she went into hiding promising she'd join the rebellion when she was ready #for now she has her regrets and they stop her from facing the galaxy #but one day the empire will have their regrets too

very powerful rp moment happened in one of my WOD campaigns this week. have you ever tried to quell the apocalypse?

#wod #oc tag #kim ji woo #others ocs #so for context: she made a deal with a demon to bring her zombie apoc novel to life #doesn't remember doing that: regrets it. is trying to stop it #the deal and the power is sealed in that sigil on her back #rue (dude) has the power to use the word on his temple to 'quell' things #and for the first time in forever the seal on her back was intact (usually she gets it burnt off until it heals over) and he had the idea t #TRY #and man. he might not have got the whole apocalypse #but he sure got HER #he singlehandedly handed her 24 hours of sanity uninfluenced by the seal or her Mental Illnesses (many) #all because he can't save the world but he refuses to give up on just this one person #i'm inconsolable #ttb #ways of survival campaign

Ive been researching names alongside their meanings and origins for my ocs (as one does) and ive come across some prime pun opportunities

For example:

"Okay calm down cornelius geez"

"WHAT IS YOUR NAME CECILLUS OR SOMETHING??? IT IS LITERALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU"

"Shes so old one might even call her ambrose"

"Look we cant all be like mr. Merriweather over here"

"Call me rue because i deeply regret so many things that has led up to this point"

#bit cringe but thats what puns are anyways so #for context: #cornelius means horn so my brain went 'oh its basically calling someone horny' #cecillus means blind #ambrose means immortal #merrriweather started of as a nickname for people who are happy cheery sunshine lolipop #and rue means regret #idk what to tag this as #ghost rambles #oc names #name meanings #name origins #terrible puns #shitty puns #i think we as a society would benefit more from name puns #get on that people

Rue: Dad! I know I ran away but I just... I miss you. A lot. I miss coming home, I miss painting in my room.. I even miss mom yelling at me all the time.

Ryan: You know you’ll always be my little girl. As far as your mom, you know she loves you still... the both of you, but you know how she feels about disobedience and sticking to your word.

Rue: I know... I just wish she could see what I see. I wish she could see how good I can be. How good Kane can be. 

Ryan: She’s here now... why don’t you just talk to her yourself and see how she feels? 

Rue: ... I guess.

Ryan: Come give me a hug first.

....

Rue: Hey, mom... You busy?

Annika: A little, but I can chat. Have you been taking care of yourself?
