okay but you can see the moment percy's heart shatters into pieces once he learns that grover was also annabeth's protector. because this child grew up watching as his peers chose schoolyard taunts over compassion. watching as his dad chose freedom over fatherhood. watching as his mother chose to protect his life by sacrificing her own. but when his mom dies, he holds onto the notion that at least he's not alone. at least he has grover. but that worldveiw wastes away when he learns that he is, first and foremost, grover's assignment. that he was no one's first choice at all.

Traffic!Scott is such a messed up thing, I need to put him on a petri dish.
Think about it. He's incredibly competent but will nerf himself, a pacifist yet will terrorise Joel for a giggle. He craves someone to pour into him so desperately, but continues to appoint himself homemaker and provider. He wants peace and tender love yet his closest alliances include one of the Furies, a red-hooded psychopath¹ and a backstabbing weasel² who doesn't even think Scott's real.
He's the friendliest guy in the server. He's a petulant little bitch. He enjoys getting under people's skin. He's generous and devoted. He's dismissive and callous. He loves pretty things as much as he loves chipping away at people's hearts, one well-aimed arrow at a time. He's a creative force. He's a chaos gremlin. He poisons the well and builds walls full of lava. He looks for devotion and commitment within a death game, he'll have you run yourself ragged to earn his approval, he'll trade his life for one sweet word, he'll watch his chosen one become a hungry, hateful thing and giggle in delight as they tear him apart.
HE HAUNTS ME.

#fe3h#fire emblem#dimilix#felix hugo fraldarius#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd#this feels slightly unfinished to me but ah well. im done w it lol#its my birthday!!!!!!! so i’m posting dmlx#not that it not being my birthday has stopped me over the past like year & a half but this one is special because i am falling back on yet#another one of my fav image genres: people sitting in nondescript field#contextually this ALSO is set in my favourite dmlx au. which is where felix finds mimi mid-ts and mimi won’t go back w him#& felix obv isnt leaving him again. so he follows dimitri around and they fuck around in the middle of nowhere for the rest of their lives#this is obviously a VERY rose-tinted outcome of that but idc lol no rules just right outback steakhouse#no consequences. only sit in barren november field#also felix takes up whittling. as a treat#something something themes repurposed blade etc. u understand#yk i think i was influenced by the hopes dimitri/dedue convo where dimitri's like if my life was my own i couldve been a travelling merc or#a farmer. & dedue's like you still can!!!! & dimitri shoots him down but no dedue's right mimimi CAN be a farmer. and i will make it so!!!!#anyway. obv a dimitri/dedue reunion happens in this au because it has to. and also bc the concept of dimitri/felix/dedue living together#just completely alone on like a random farm is REALLY funny to me. & how they interact w the locals.......... like ok i understand employer#loyalty but when our neighbour's farmhand knelt & swore an oath to protect his cabbages w his life i think that was a bit excessive#anyway!!!!!!! i have so much hw lol but as soon as winter break hits i can work on my comics again.............. soon

I really think Su Minshan doesn’t get enough credit for how skilled he was.
He was trained under the Gusu Lan sect and knows that style of combat, and later learned another one. He does so in a manner that can rival HanGuang-Jun.
He was able to use transportation talismans, which already required a lot of power, while having a curse on his body (also to note he was carrying a man away when we saw him use the transportation talisman in Yi City).
He adopted his music skills to blend in some other songs seamlessly, so only Gusu Lan sect members thought the Moling Su sect were playing badly.
Just because he was a villain doesn’t mean he was bad at what he did.

I know the general fandom consensus is "Feng Xin = Dog," but "Feng Xin = Falcon" just makes more sense with my brain

speaking of fucked up overly hated female twdg characters i find it Super Interesting how people will say carver was the best villain in the whole series, but when lilly is literally just a successful carver (iron fist leader of a community turning children into soldiers) suddenly shes a bad/lame villain for some reason 🤔

I was pondering why is Luocha's attack called "Thorns of the Abyss". (Luocha, darling, do you want to talk about it?)
It's not the exact same characters as in Genshin though. Abyss in Luocha's skill is 黑渊 (the dark deep) and genshin abyss is 深渊 (the profound/abyssal deep)
(I think 渊 is the same term you can use for deep sea)
So he has a 'thorns of the black depths/abyss' (黑淵的棘刺) skill and a 'white flower of hope/prayer' (白花的祈望) skill. The latter also got translated as "Flower of the Abyss", haha.
(Chinese speakers, do correct me if I messed up, this is the best I can manage with a dictionary)
So. I assumed Swan's abyssal line is also about that-other-under-the-sea-abyss.
Went to look up her skills.
AND WHAT DO I SEE

Bonus: she (and the likes of her) is a memetic entity and can take any form. A girl with booba, a whale, a giant crystal.

Y'know, if you look at it from the right angle, the first three deaths of Secret Life were all directly following betrayal of their closest teammates, and the winner didn't win until after he finally got a devoted and loyal team/family of his own. Kinda just a nice sort of symmetry, y'know?

Unwavering loyalty is all well and good but at what point does it become insanity? What is too much? Is it okay to kill and grieve and hurt out of loyalty? It is okay to want? Is it okay to then take that loyalty and turn it into a love that is so deep and so immovable that it changes everything?
And does the answer change if the person has never asked for that loyalty? If they have only ever asked for a friend?

I see your dog-coded Agrippa and Cassius, but what about Crassus ? Kind of like feral dog coded
for me, Crassus skips the dog coding allegations on account of no one being able to put a leash on him, and there's no person he seems to be singularly devoted to in a way that dictates his actions
Tumblr media
Dating The Praetorship of Marcus Licinius Crassus, Martin Stone
like, there's Sulla, but Crassus also did a lot of that of his own accord, and Sulla shut the door on him politically so Crassus climbed in through a window and worked a different aspect of Roman society-politics with magnificent skill. he ALSO skips the dog allegations because if anyone is bringing someone to heel, it's Crassus doing it to other people. there isn't a specific person that Crassus' actions can be dedicated to in a way that makes me think of a dog the way Agrippa's actions for Octavian do.
I also don't think he's feral! what he is: really fucking ruthless, or has the potential for ruthlessness, which isn't the same thing to me as being feral. and being ruthless is not uncommon for Late Republic politics
Tumblr media
Lucullus: A Life, Arthur Keavney
but its that pivot point between being firm, ruthless, and likeable that makes him interesting. he's actually. he's--
okay, so in my mind, he's Machiavelli Prince coded. there are only two Romans I have ever made a compare and contrast analysis using Machiavelli's Il Principe, one is Augustus, the other is Crassus. and for once my connect the dots of thematic tomfoolery has something I can cite, someone ELSE has also made a comparison to Augustus
