Ar-Pharazon from the Reverse Gondolin AU and as Witch-King of Numenor - thanks to @who-needs-words for helping develop this idea!

#silm #silmarillion #second age #ar pharazon #reverse gondolin au #(well more like the aftermath of gondolin reversal) #this au has consumed my life #on the plus side inspiration for feanor is finally reemerging from under the metaphorical couch so i might get something finwion-y done soo #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa so much to draw so little time #seriously though golden nazgul is such a cool idea #whatever the mordor equivalent for the angband trio is (sauron pharazon and shelob maybe?) is going to look so cool in black and gold #black/gold black hole shelob!! #and prince elrond is super finwiony looking #also he has his wings & glowiness out a lot more so that'll be fun #but yeah basically in the au Prince Elrond realized via foresight what was happening/going to happen in numenor #so he went there and disowned ar pharazon (by extension removing him from the throne) and crowned tar miriel rightful Ruling Queen #then later when sauron showed up he came back kicked sauron out and outlawed the death cult #but between that time sauron secretly recruited ar pharazon by promising him kingship in exchange for his support #and anyways ar pharazon survived all the way to the TA as the Witch King #(mr. angmar here gets to be second in command of the nazgul sorry) #-imagine this guy showing up to be all 'bagginssss' though #the witch king of numenor is somehow even more dramatic #also the whole 'no living man can kill me' is. a bit different coming from a guy who has many enemies in the form of #a) his cousin the Ruling Queen of Numenor #b) his uncle the choice-of-elves-peredhel #c) a bunch of Faithful in the Halls #the dead guys aren't too much of a problem #but i wonder if he heard that prophecy and worried a whole lot more about the Ruling Queens #or Prince Elrond who in the au has very definitely embraced his maia-ness #and then imagine his surprise hearing 'but no living man am i' and it coming from. a random human lady.

haha noo don’t think you’re doing the Right Thing just because it aligns with your worldview and who you need to protect even though it can inevitably mean betraying someone you love and being much more complicated than that

#subset: choice #arc 1 #multi #tests of love #probably missed some with ez / s4 but i can't think of it off the top of my head? #so take this for now #obviously this discussion is ongoing in the series without using 'the right thing' as key words like #soo many scenes relate #but these were the specific ones #screencaps #tdp

"batman is the perfect foil to the joker because he never laughs" is soooooo much less interesting and dynamic than "batman laughs all the time, the joker just isn't funny"

#like! the whole point is that Batman is the audience and the audience isn't laughing #but framing it like that's a priblem with Batman instead of a problem with the joker is just a flop move #the Joker's jokes fall flat. his audience doesn't laugh. so he commits harder and harder to the bit #because admitting the joke wasn't funny is the ultimate horror #there are so many important parallels to edgelords who hurt people with their “humour” #so many parallels of refusing to laugh along to harmful things. refusing to give in out of politeness or pressure #sometimes the best response is refusing to play the game #and sooooo many authors try to turn that into Batman being special instead of Batman making a choice not to engage on the Joker's terms #theres soo much real estate in the idea that Batman DOES get the joke. but doesnt think it's funny #why would you try to change it #batman

mmm thinking with my stupid brain about how i'd rewrite mountain tim so hard its making me ill

#mountain tim no longer gross JSUT being an older brother to lucy #and generally meant to be a symbol of a golden heart #the lone golden heart of the cold and mean empty wild west #surrounded by the dark and depressing cast of sbr #surrounded by characters like johnny and HP and gyro and diego and ect who SPEW negativity into the world #and Tim meaning to be this pillar of hope and justice despite the cruelty of man and nature #and his final choices being to protect lucy even at the cost of his own life to do whatever he can for her because she is just a child #she should not have to bear the cruel winds of fate if he can be a breaker to the breeze #but in his death he would pass on the torch of his 'golden heart' to her #i have soo many ideas and thoughts bout lucy being 'the heart' of SBR #she is the keeper of the holy corpse heart in my rewrite #as johnny is to the left hand and didi and gyro to the eyes of the corpse #ect ect #but in the sacrificial death of tim bleed onto lucy her place in the world #to shine bright with hope of the good in the world and of the young innocence of a child #I JUST THINK IT SUCKS SO HARD MOUNTAIN TIM MEANT A LOT TO THE NARRATIVE OF SBR JUST TO BE GROSS TO LUCY IN THE END #I CAN FIX HIM IM SORRY #I CAN MAKE HIM WORTH HIS WEIGHT TO THE STROY

the betraying holts ending fight with tyler is still the CRAZIEST sequence of the whole game to me. he is practically spitting and seething with jealousy over vince choosing dante over him. because like, that's what it's all about! he can rattle off it's about dale's death all he wants but he normally lets that go otherwise. his raw visceral anger in that scene is truly about him trusting vince and expecting vince to trust him in turn ( also insane behavior btw! ) ... believing vince at his word even though vince is soooo clearly lying, and isn't trying all that hard to cover his ass actually. he sees the pager and the messages and acts like a wife who got cheated on and THEN he sees vince shake hands with dante and loses his entire shit. will ATTACK the guy literal seconds after contact. everything about the scene just makes me rear back in my chair and go oh, oh, tyler this is so embarrassing. you should not care this much. having friends and other relationships before this moment would've saved you a world of grief imma be real

#im normal about the pool scene ( lying ) #tyler really said you liked dante??? more than ME??? die #because. this is the one death tyler will execute and it's sooo purposeful #all his other murders are so instinctive. he shoots sam and then joyce out of a pure emotional response ( at a distance! ) #and when it HITS him what he's done ( because he didnt even really know he was doing it ) his whole tough guy act crumbles #but with vince he is consciously making the choice to murder him and hunt him down and chase him #like ... tyler is soo in his feelings and hurt. this is sooo personal to him and him only lol #hence why it's such a violent manner of death too!! like tyler has ample time to think about what he's doing #since drowning isnt instant and he's forced to be pressed close to vince the whole time #idk ... its just inchresting to me. double inchresting there's so many parts that almost read as a mockery of a loving gesture #vince can cradle tyler's face in his hands two times!!!! after they're stopped they pose in such a comfortable way ... #anyway i just. oh pool scene. you crazy bitch

“That’s a shame..I saw the name Broly and assumed the worse, followed the coordinates here.” From what it looks like, this planet was..rather beautiful, trees stretched out inthe the sky, the view of a jungle in the distance hinted of an area teeming with life.if the BROLY he knew was here then this place would have been nothing more than a wasteland by this point.

“Use him as a weapon? No, I’d never.” This was extremely hard to explain without sounding guilty in the slightest. Time Patrollers are trained to be secretive as to being careful to NOT create another paradox within the alternate timeline created. I’ve actually…” No, he couldn’t say that he dealt with Brolys from different timelines, too much information. “I’ve heard stories revolving saiyans, Broly himself is said to be close to the pinnacle.” That’s it..keep it sort of vague, if anything maybe instead of a time patroller he could masquerade as a galactic patroller.

“It’s really only for observation purposes. What kind of person he is, his values (if he HAS any).”

ok literally ill over this game & im. two hours in. should i start p5 posting a year late.

#GOD. #concept is so neat. obsessed w the weird balancing of normal miserable guy life sim + classic jrpg shit. obsessed w the narrative choices #being made here. obsessed w the sharpness with which they get being the kid everyone fucking talks about & is disappointed in for no #reason in hs. having soo many thoughts etc. #also the flow is so good. genuinely the only jarring moment so far has been finishing the first battle in that castle + getting the #classic u won! heres what u get! page. #txt

[under--pluto]

man people don't even try anymore, emergency commissions are fair enough but the amount of just "hi I'm not cis/white/straight/normal brained/able bodied or a mix of them pls give me money uwu" posts on this webbed site is astronomical

#like I have a problem with donation posts as is but like why you gotta list how special you are #uwu I'm soo mentally ill and also a minority of some sort and I've made bad choices and instead of trying to fix them or just deal w them #I'm gonna ask strangers for money #like how many people actually donate isn't this the broke neets website #i can't remember the word for the opposite of nurodivergent sorry #is it to garner sympathy?? like #is there something wrong with me cuz i think these posts are ridiculous and pathetic #like I have had literally 20 cents to my name before and I'd sooner die than think I deserve money from strangers #though I am not a disabled Mexican trans lesbian so I wouldn't get any money anyway 😔 #idk something something get a job take some responsibility etc #u can get angry at me over this all you want I am like interested in seeing what other people think if you're gonna be nice about it xo #words.png

just me ranting about something from years ago to hopefully like stop thinking about it

so mad because i cannot stop thinking about how pre pandemic this guy i was friends with just randomly sprung on me that he was against abortion because ‘it should be up to both of them’ (i.e. whoever got said person pregnant and the person themself :/). i dont talk to him anymore and we like. never hung out after that bc pandemic and drifted apart so i NEVER was able to say anything back bc at the moment i was sooo in shock that i couldn’t say anything!!!:/ anyways i am wishing violence on him. have not mentioned it very often. maybe putting it here will help me get it out of my system. i just cannot stop thinking about how fucked up that was man i wish i could punch him :/// one like = one death wish. kind of badly need validation clearly bc i have not stopped thinking ab this specific moment for years. maybe because it was at such an odd time... like maybe a week before school was put online etc

#he knew i was very pro choice btw #and like very much a feminist and a gender studies major and everything LMFAO #if it happened now i would kill him etc but. back then #ik it was soo long agooo i have a problem with like never forgetting this sort of stuff #but also can u blame me in this situation #:/ sigh #so stupid that i Still regret that i never said anything bc like. #i dont think he would have cared #its just sad #how many people dont care

Here's how wolfwood can still win

#personal #i am unironically sooo serious abt it #its w my mental changes of trigun. that and vash would virtually be in the exact same situation in the end except w two more graves #i say two but. you know. a lot more #i think w a character like say aki from csm. he ofc is going to die. its half his thing #but wolfwood doesnt quite apply till that drug thing #and i dont think he works in a tragic way either bc he didnt 'fail' his choices. like its a video game or smth #u could technically say him going w/o vash to his doom but vash does arrive #its just that goddamned juice thats only introduced literally right before that arc... *shakes fist* #not to be upset Fav died but theres soo many reasons why he didnt need to #and like. i dont think his death was 'cool' or heroic either lol. its not a heros sacrifice or moving tragedy or was doomed... #imo it just feels unnecessary the character hating himself dies while going 'wow i did get One (1) friend! neat.' #esp when hes like the only loss of the main characters

send me this emoji and a character ask game: 👑 + matthias helvar + fluff, please? :) <3

hello anon! i'm assuming you meant this emoji: 🚀 but if i'm wrong and you're pulling from a different ask game, just let me know, lololol. (i also respect how no matter the ask game, matthias helvar shows up in my inbox. i just think it's neat that we all love him so much <3 )

🚀 send me this emoji and a character, and i will tell you what fanfic trope/AU they best fit into

MATTHIAS HELVAR in a MODERN, FAKE DATING! AU. you and matthias are friends who met in college, through your mutual friend inej ghafa. he's always been the serious, polite, yet-easily-flustered type, and the two of you get along incredibly well. your conversations over the themes in literature and film are legendary (though your other friend, nina, complains that the two of you ruin every movie night as you try to debate the merits of directorial choices right in the middle of the film - either watch the film by yourselves or at least aggressively text your thoughts to the other, goddamn), your mutual obsession with Big Dogs is endearing, and your friendship is incredibly dear to the both of you. you'd never do anything to jeopardize what the two of you have... and yet, when it's time for your sibling or cousins wedding, and you just know your family is going to get on your case about your lack of a romantic partner (how old are you, again? and didn't you just graduate last year?), there's really only one person you can think of inviting to go with you, under the pretense that you're dating. bad decision? you sure do hope not, you already told your parents the lie and everything. and this is matthias we're talking about! he's not going to make any of this weird, right? i mean, he's going to be Very Against The Idea when you first propose it (because he's a man or morals or whatever *dramatic eye roll*), but he's malleable! He'd do anything for you - jesper laments about it all the time ("helvar doesn't do jack shit for me until (y/n) asks him to :(") - and it's not like you're going to fall in love with your best friend over a two week trip to hawai'i (and who even gets married in hawai'i anymore? how cliche can this almost-married couple be?), right? you can push that nagging feeling that you'd really like to date matthias for real to the back of your mind for just a little longer, right? i mean, choosing matthias was simply a strategic move. you're already incredibly close (he even knows about your poor ability to hold alcohol - and he doesn't mind the fact that you're a clingy drunk!!!); he has the cleanest track record of all of your friends (the last thing you want is to bring kaz brekker home to your parents, could you imagine the nuclear fallout); he's not doing anything important anyway (so then why does wylan keep looking at you like you've ruined his weekend plans?); and he's already featured on your instagram enough to make his boyfriend status a legitimate, though hidden, fact (it's not your fault that your dogs just love matthias more than you and that matthias looks insanely cute when playing with the puppies). yes, you're making a strategic choice. there's nothing else happening here... no, you aren't wishing there was something more happening here...

just two weeks... you can make it through two weeks...

#ask game #perhaps a surprising choice lololol but i actually think that matthias would fit into soo many ~contemporary romance~ novels #that involve this kind of scenario #it's his lack of emotional intelligence and absolute whipped behavior asdfghjhgfdsdfghjhgf #lololol no but i really just want a modern! au for the crows where matthias is a Mess™ in the group chat #and Kuwei is THIS close to just spilling the beans #(and where everyone questions why they allowed kuwei into the group chat in the first place - this chaos demon is too much to handle) #matthias helvar #six of crows

metal: hellsinger’s probably the sexiest video game i have ever played

#love this trend of rhythm combat games #also playing hifi rush which has Such good combat but so many glaring flaws #if it was just rhythmic dmc ti would be soo good but #the characters are annoying #the mixing isn't great so the good music choices don't have Punch #and there's no latency calibration #all 3 of these are monumentally better in metal hellsinger but the problem is i'm not GOOD at doing doom eternal combat to rhythm it's wild
