#there's always a reason to smile

[jeeaark]

Firstly, I dedicate this cheese moment to the song LP- One Last Moment . Be sad with me.

Secondly, ha, this moment probably doesn't hold as much impact nowadays but I drew this when patch 0 only had TWO OPTIONS and NOTHING ELSE. You could say it's my loving 'like fuck we won't ever see each other again my sun, moon, stars, and all of the above' response to Lae'zel's Goodbye. Had to give myself hope gosh darn it. But it's lovely to know that Greygold wasn't wrong. So I share cheesy moment anyway.

Third. YEAH I SAID GO. BABE'S GOTTA KILL VLAAKITH. You think Greygold is gonna be selfish and ask her to stay now??? After all that? PUH. Greygold knows responsibility sucks, but set a killer hawk free and all that. (of course I checked what's up with the other choice after the game and 'oofed' but still. PRINCIPLES. Gave myself delusional hope anyway pssh.)

#bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #lae'zel #greygold #bg3 fanart #bg3 comic #I will always love you -whitney housten is a strong contender for this dang moment too though but with more cussing #Really Every LP Song is a Lae'zel/GG moment #Except LP's 'when we're high'. That is strictly a GG and Emps moment. for funny reasons. #Sure Lae'zel's had the saddest eyes ever to exist #But Greygold couldn't help but notice she left with a smile so #Greygold had hope

#it's never natural. it's always artificial. #It's always asking yourself ''is that too much? is that too little? is my tone right here? should i be smiling?'' #''Does this person actually want to know? How long should I listen to this person talk about something I don't care about?'' #''Is it reasonable to leave yet? Will I miss out? Will I appear creepy if I linger?'' #''How familiar should I be? Am I giving away too much about my emotional state? Am I giving away too little?'' #Obsessively trying to guess what the other person wants and is thinking so you don't weird them out. #Obsessively trying to remember what you know about the other person so you don't seem indifferent? #''No theory of mind.'' Fuck you. I wish I had no theory of mind #I wish I didn't have to waste mental capacity thinking about it.

For whatever reason I keep going angsty routes…

(Jaytim engame with unrequited jaydick)

Jay who had a crush on Dick that went from admiration/jealousy to big ass crush that persisted even after he came back from the dead, guns blazing and angry. Once his anger and frustrations about Bruce settled down his crush for the first Robin remained strong even though Dickie just saw him as a little brother. Still, he knows he’d do anything for him. Anything to erase that sad frown on his face. Even go, apologize to the replace- ahem, Tim, try to make amendments and at least befriend him, keep an eye on him and help Dickie get closer to Tim again. Dickie feels guilty for taking Robin away from Tim but he did not have a better option, Damian needed him….problem is, Tim needed him too. He knows that now. He wants to fix it… but he doesn’t know how to get closer to Tim anymore, not with the animosity between Damian and Tim on the way.

So, seeing Dickie so heartbroken about how his relationship with Tim has deteriorated after he gave Robin to Damian, then the Bruce Quest and then Tim being mostly on his own base of operations, Jason offers to help. How? The hell if he knows he just knows he hates seeing Dick that way and the replacement needs to understand the demon brat needed guidance. He is an assassin yes but still a kid.

So, Jason, the good samaritan he is(?), walks in to make amends with Tim…he owed him that much to be fair, try to befriend him and find a way to make a bridge between Tim and Dickie. Problem is he made a few miscalculations: it was somehow easy to approach Tim, easy to get to know him if you actually tried (the man wasn’t hiding, no one cared nor took the time to look), easy to understand how unfair it all was for him as well, easy to fall for his little quirks, easy to realize how similar they were at the fundamental level.

Would’ve been nice if he realized Tim had a crush on him before he went and absolutely smashed Tim’s heart when he realized Jason had a crush on Dick and only approached Tim in the first place because he wanted to help Dickie get his other little brother back.

It would also have been nice if he realized earlier how hard he had fallen for Tim.

#jaytim #jason todd #tim drake #red hood #red robin #drama ⭐️ #jay: im sorry just put yourself in my place for a second wouldn’t you do anything to make your crush happy? #tim: yeah….I get it…*and goes talk to Dick and assure him that they are ok* #it takes Jay embarrassingly long to realize he had fallen for Tim #and again embarrassingly long to ask him out #because for some reason even though Tim physically looked the same #now jason noticed everything: how he smiles he focuses how he talks how he flirts with others #how good he looks on a suit and were his tights always that tight?? was his neck always that long? #his eyelashes are so long and why are there so many creeps around him at parties #not fic

another thing with denying jaime agency is that a lot of his character is initially constructed around what his physical power means when it comes to choices that he makes. physical strength and combat prowess, violence, is a specific form of power that he has over others and can choose to extend to other parties. it is an integral aspect of every power dynamic, be it with his king, his sister, the rest of society etc. the knight is also an examination of power and responsibility. that is why their oaths are constructed around protecting the weak. it is what’s so interesting with the kingsguard too, especially aerys’s. they are the most skilled in combat and physically powerful people in the room. they had a form of power to act and prevent what aerys kept doing. and they are on a leash through oaths, law, order, obeying authority, and a status quo, a different kind of power that functions to give the man with a crown, in this case a tyrant, absolute power. you are sworn to obey, not to judge. you have to abide by your role. that is also what makes him eventually killing aerys and breaking these oaths so transgressive and threatening to the westerosi paradigm. his motivations and the circumstances aside, jaime in specific killing his king as a member of his elite guard undermined westerosi order and framed power as something that resided with the man with the sword and not with the man with the crown or even the lords with bannermen and armies who won the war that they started. it breaks these constructs apart with the precedent it sets. and on top of that, he gets away with it because of his status and relationship to tywin, which is also a scary precedent in the eyes of many. it is huge when it comes to westerosi order and class stratification, but it is also threatening in general because, yes, it does make him a loose cannon in the eyes of other people. and yeah he stagnates and falls into cynicism and begins to reject ethics and law in a dangerous way and ends up abusing that physical power and causes real harm to people who do not deserve it. he does embody a dangerous kind of anarchy that is the product of the flawed and dysfunctional social order that he experienced with a front row seat with the absurdly cruel tyrant that was systematically enabled. everything was reframed in his head. if there is no justice and order you can have faith in, who cares? he doesn’t fear death, and that is combined with the belief he can cut through anything now, he has the power to do so. be it a king, a lord, or virtually any power over him when it comes down to it. how much can a crown be worth…? he even argues to brienne that robert tearing the realm apart with his war is worse in a pragmatic sense. he rejects the existing laws, ethics, and moral constructs of his society that have a monopoly on violence because he is disillusioned with them, and he operates solely by his twisted reconstruction of morality (also obviously affected by his trauma) that atp primarily revolves around love for his family, especially cersei. he chooses to become the sword of his loved one, having lost faith in the purity of everything other than this delusional idealized relationship that is the only thing that is sacred that remains to him. and ofc all of this is another layer that makes george stripping him of this particular power through his maiming so functional in causing crisis.

#jaime lannister #this is also why it’s important that he is so powerful and skilled #like he has to be that fucking good with swinging that fucking sword for so many reasons #like im so serious when i say its integral when it comes to his psychology and his themes #and hes fully aware like he says its the hand that made him a knight that made him a man that killed aerys that flung bran #jaimes story examines a specific kind of power and responsibility very thoroughly #him getting disowned and maimed smiles like he is progressively losing all of it #and then he loses faith in cersei and her love too #anyways my point id that anybody who tries to use a twisted version of the nuremberg defense with him doesnt really understand him #and this applies to the blaming cersei part #he always owns these actions too like

Daniel (asking a serious, valid question):

can you look at crucifixes?

Louis: yes. In fact I love nothing more than staring at crucifixes. What a silly question. Next!

Daniel: can you turn into smoke?

Louis (gives the most unhinged answer you've ever heard): ...but also no, absolute bollocks. Jesus Christ, Daniel.

Daniel laughing uncomfortably

Louis: Daniel, what is it? You don't need to be shy around me. You can talk to me.

Daniel (blushing like crazy): so can you be staked or what?

Louis: fml. Obviously not Daniel. That's also a load of shit. Now shut up and smoke a cigarette.

#i always forget just how funny louis is during the interview #poor daniel he's asking perfectly reasonable questions #and here's louis shutting down every single one #also daniel blushing after louis says he doesn't need to be shy around him #and then he starts smiling like a schoolgirl at something utterly mundane as if louis' said the funniest thing ever #like damn girl #you gotta a crush or what? #louis de pointe du lac #daniel molloy #interview with the vampire #iwtv #vampire chronicles #tvc
