#they didnt care abt that chance. they just wanted to find a way for their friend to survive

[okkottsus]

I usually dont mind ppl having different interpretations of characters and relationships, but this is just an insult to my boy’s character and his connection to nagi.

Reo may have developed an interest in nagi bc of his talent (and i find the notion of him doing the same thing he hated his family for at the start very interesting btw), but since then he obviously has developed an emotional attachment, and to him, it has to be nagi. he’s met people with even more skill than him in blk but he still hasnt spared them a 1/100 of the attention he gives to his best friend.

ofc i think it was important for them to improve on their own and maybe it was premature of him to go back to devoting himself to nagi so quickly, but i truly believe its bc he understood nagi’s perspective since he “abandoned him” and his true intentions.

the difference in their perspectives is very clear even before they enter blue lock:

at that point winning the world cup was just reo’s dream but even then, to reo, the most important thing was for them to be together until the end (nagi was the one who made him promise that would be the case too !!) , while nagi was content with just going along with him bc he started caring abt him as a person

until they lost to isagi’s team. from that moment, he decided (and was right imo) that they need to do whatever they can, even if they have to take separate paths for some time, to get stronger.

and nagi didnt “lose sight of their og goal” what are they talking about?? nagi literally mentions/thinks about their dream to be the best together every chance he gets?? he even got mad at reo cause he thought his friend was the one who forgot about their dream. he thought he was taking the vital steps to make it a reality and was frustrated reo couldnt see that:

reo felt betrayed because he cared about nagi himself as much as he cared about their dream and thought that nagi used him as a stepping stone to move forward alone, when actually it would be more accurate to say that nagi views everyone except for reo as a stepping stone. (i dont blame reo for this, since even tho nagi tried to communicate that hes doing it for them, he did a terrible job of it).

but during their latest talk reo had already worked on himself and had acknowledged the fact that he was in the wrong for assuming that them being together no matter the cost was the right thing

so when nagi approached him and explained himself a little better this time (boy was shocked when he realised how reo took their separation and put in a little bit more effort lol)

reo finally understood how their desires intertwine now. how can people claim that reo sees nagi as a tool when its more of the other way around; meaning reo sees himself as a tool for making nagi the best striker in the world and he already declared that to Ego before:

and again now:

plus saying that he and nagi arent friends and they are just using each other is so out of touch with everything we’ve seen so far. reo’s devotion to nagi aside, nagi too cares for reo a lot outside of soccer. even after he left reo, he still got excited to see him and talk to him despite everything; to him it was obvious they would continue to interact no matter which team each of them was on:

and he also felt bad for hurting him and expressed the hope that he would forgive him

the only thing that i wish would happen now is for nagi to apologise to reo face to face instead of only doing it in his own thoughts, and for reo to also talk about why he was hurt. but i feel like they understood each other either way without many words, because in the end, their bond is just that strong.

they now both want to succeed more than they ever have before and have stopped being their complacent selves we met during the first selection. they are both thinking far into the future and not just within blue lock, so whether they keep moving forward together or separated from now on, it will be knowing they are working towards their shared dream.

#blue lock #blue lock spoilers #nagireo #reonagi #if u read all this u're a hero asdjk its all over the place like my feelings #but yeh. i love them #hope this shows in the tags now...how am i supposed to share my thoughts with the 15 ppl who r as obsessed with them as i am huh

That night you weren’t the only one who couldn’t fall asleep. Neytiri was too thinking abt someone. Someone she couldn’t be thinking of in that way. Someone who was sitting right next to her. She cursed herself for thinking of you like that. Your people were demons not to be interacted with, horrible creatures. But something about you made her maybe give it a chance. No she could not maybe Ewya was testing her, testing her loyalty to her people. Ewya would never allow something like this to happen so why was it?

There was a war in her mind that night. She tried to ignore the way your smooth skin felt on hers. The way goosebumps came onto her skin when yours touched. She had never felt this way for anyone no Na’vi, especially not a human. When she saw a human she killed them. So why didn’t she? There was no sign from Ewya but if Ewya did not want this you would’ve killed her right? So why didn’t you WHY DIDNT YOU KILL HER NEYTIRI.

That was a question she couldn’t answer. She eventually let out a cry for not having any answers. She couldn’t tell anyone about this. She told her mother everything about herself she loved her so much. If she found out she felt this way it would kill her. She felt a tear come down her cheek with a sniffle following it.

You were still up you heard a sniffle coming out of the Na’vi next to you. You shifted your head towards her. You wanted to ask what was wrong but she probably didn’t want a human to try and comfort her. After hearing a few more whimpers and sniffles you didn’t care if she wanted your help or not you could at least try right? You leaned over not enough to touch her but enough for her to hear you. You slowly whispered

“Neytiri are you alright?” Silence overcame the both of you.

She stopped immediately nobody was supposed to hear her. Only herself and Ewya so why was this human up? She cursed herself for not being quieter. Her body became cold she could not tell anyone about her thoughts especially not you NOT you.

“I am fine human” A sniffle following that.

You knew she wasn’t ok. the least you could do was try to comfort her after all her people have done for you right?

“Neytiri you can tell me I will not judge” you weren’t going to you couldn’t judge people. People judged you all the time and you hated the feeling. You weren’t about to ask her if she was ok and then judge her for it. She turned your way, wiping away any loose tears coming out. She let out a sigh looking down trying to find words to say without actually telling you what was wrong. She couldn’t believe she was about to be open with a human.

“It is just there someone I feel a way towards but I do not know if Ewya agrees.” She looked up at you hoping you wouldn’t realize it was you.

You understood what she felt you had so many bad crushes on earth on the wrong people. You didn’t in any way think she was talking about you bc she hated you. You thought on what to say not wanting to make her mad.

“I have felt that to! There is always a reason you feel a certain way so just let it be and Ewya will guide you” you gave her a quick smile hoping she would take your advice.

She just rolled her eyes wiping away her tears with a smile on her face. You sounded just like her sister. She missed her she never saw her anymore either she moved away with her mate a long time ago.

“You sound just like my sister human” you smiled at that

“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” You let out a giggle tilting your head for a response.

“Do not worry it is a good thing” she smiled turning around to get some sleep. All this crying made her tired. She hadn’t cried in awhile she embraced it. She took your advice and let herself think these things. Maybe you humans weren’t so bad maybe you were smart. But she couldn’t be with you she wouldn’t let herself go that far.

The next morning you woke yourself up. You sat up stretching yourself. Yawning you quickly collected yourself and looked over to see Neytiri still sleeping you got up moving to sit in front of her patiently waiting for her to get up to tell you what you were doing today. Waiting patiently you let your thoughts wonder. You were probabaly going to go hunting today. No it’s too early for that you just learned how to work a bow yesterday. Maybe you were going to make some clothes. Or maybe learn how to patch up hurt Na’vi. No they wouldn’t trust you that easily. Whilst you were staring into space you hadn’t noticed Neytiri had sat up and was calling you.

“Human what are you doing?” You quickly snapped out of it looking up to this 6ft tall Na’vi woman looking down at you. You stood up apologizing for ignoring her. She just rolled her eyes.

“It is ok let us go now” she tapped your shoulder. You couldn’t believe she let that slide. She would’ve just rolled her eyes and walked off. Maybe it was because of your conversation last night. Yeah probably you had kinda forget about that.

As you walked to follow her down the tree you asked “So what are we doing today?” As you jumped off the thick branch trying your best not to slip off.

“You are learning out people’s language” coming down to the last branch she looked up at you patiently waiting for you to come to her level.

“I am excited” you let out a huff of annoyance trying your best to not look hopeless coming down to the last branch.

“Hm” turning her back to you as you came to her side walking with her.

She walked you to into the forest which lasted for hours what it felt like. Moving countless branches and leaves out of your way. You finally noticed a clearing in front of you. It was beautiful there was a thrashing waterfall with the sun beaming off of it which created a rainbow with pink and white in it. The sun in pandora was much different then the one on earth. You let your mouth drop at its beauty. You had to stop and just look at it it was so amazing. You just stood there for awhile admiring its beauty you hadn’t realized you looked kinda dumb just standing there. As neytiri was waiting for you sitting on the glistening grass.

You snapped out of your 2nd trance of the day looking around for Neytiri. She was just looking at you waiting for you to come over. Walking over you felt the grass becoming wet from the waterfalls waters. You didn’t mind because it felt good your feet were hot and tried from walking so long in the hot forest. Sitting down in front of her crisscrossed you gave a quick smile waiting for her to talk.

“All Na’vi speak the same language called Na’vi, it is what connects us to eachother in order for you to live here you must learn our language human” straightening yourself you nodded your head waiting for the lesson to start.

“Kaltxi! Is hello Is it pronounced Kal-teh. now you try”

“Kale tai” you answered all you got in response was an eye roll from her.

Annoyed she tried again

“No it is Kal-teh! Kaaal-tehhh now try”

You didn’t give up tho trying again

“Kaltxi” You let it slip off your tongue hoping you did it right this time.

“Yes good job human. Now I will introduce myslef in Na’vi. Oeru syaw Neytiri”

You had no idea what she just said but you weren’t about to ask her so you tried your best again.

“Oeri sayaw Y/n”

“No it is Oeru syaw”

“Isn’t that what I just said Oeri sayaw?”

“No! It is Oeru syaw”

“Ok Oeru syaw”

Giving you a glare “yes Oeru syaw is when your introducing yourself to someone. Like when you meet a stranger you say Oeru syaw and your name”

“Oh ok so like Oeru syaw y/n right?”

You saw a quick smile appear on her face

“Yes yes like that!”

The rest of the day you were taught more of the Na’vi language. Whenever she talked about it she seemed so passionate about it. You hadn’t realized how passionate she was about her people. You knew she loved them but she actually really cared about all of her people every single one. You now understood why she hated your people more then the average Na’vi. It was because she loved them so much and your people had hurt them.

She finally gave you a break from your lesson. You decided to go swimming in the nervy waterfall. Walking into the water it was nice and warm to your surprise. Closing your eyes you dived in with no hesitation. The last time you went swimming you almost died. You laughed at that it seemed so long ago when it was only a few days ago. Opening your eyes you were met with glowing sea plants. Reaching out your hand to touch a long plant with balls along its sides. The contact gave you shivers as you ran your hands down the interesting plant in front of you. You noticed the root started to change colors from your touch. The changing color grew from the root to the whole plant. Making it a neon purple.

Pandora was so beautiful you thought it was a shame you were only on this planet to destroy it along with its people. Ridding th thought from your head you just wanted to enjoy this moment. It was a rare one you were just enjoying being happy it had been so long since you had felt try happiness that would last. Back at the lab you were always busy and stressed too distracted to enjoy the present moment. Coming up for air you looked around for your mentor to be only met with nothing.

Turning around to find her right in front of you. You gave her a smile before splashing water in her face and laughing. I’m response she did the same splashing with you and laughing. Swimming closer to her and pushing her head underwater. Trying to fight back she pulled your waist down trying to be in control.

Your back now to her chest as you fought to get out of her grip. She brought you both up for air. As you gasped you realized how close you two really were. Looking down at her hands now only an inch from your breasts. You blushed as you tried to free yourslef from her grip. You had never been so close to her her hands were strong and so was she. She just laughed at your weak actions to get free from her causing you to give up and turn around to meet her gaze.

Looking into your eyes you settled your arms on her shoulders only inches from her face now. Her eyes wandering your nimble body. Your eyes now only looking at her lips. They fit so perfectly on her face. They were so full you were almost jealous of the woman in front of you.

You almost wanted to intertwine each others lips together. Wanting so bad for her lips on yours for just a second is all you wanted. You could feel your body heat up from the close contact. Bringing your hand up to her neck and moving your gaze to her eyes to be met with hers on you. Opening your mouth to talk you were interrupted by her grasp moving away from your body as you watched her swim away from you.

Following her out of the water you stood far from her trying to get the water off of your body by shaking yourself.

“We must go now” she said still thinking about the moment you two just shared.

Like deruth has to make the first step and i want the angst of them finding out it was an act before cale attempts to let the act go can you tell more?

YES DEFINITELY

So a lot of fics have cale making the first step to make amends with his family which honestly? Realistic. I have never in real life experienced a parent actually owning up to their mistakes and taking the first step to apologize and be better its always the (often teen or adult at that point) child who makes that first step in my experience

And i think in canon it would probably be og cale trying to make amends as well, so i honestly read fics like this happily anyway

But in an ideal world parents take responsibility for their actions and try to be better for their kids! While deruth obviously loves and cares for cale he shows it in a very roundabout way (like making his servants report on what cale has been up to). I imagine this is more normal in a noble household instead of a normal household. However theyve very obviously just been waiting for cale to get better on his own instead of actually doing anything, while not knowing that it would never stop bc its largely an act and cale acts like that on purpose to help his siblings and stepmom

Im rambling at this point so im just gonna outline what in my eyes would be the perfect progression for cale and deruths relationship (and by extension the rest of the henituse family):

- somethinh happens that makes deruth try to sort of talk to cale (fuck if i know what, maybe its a situation where cale regressed and got ancient powers and has been throwing up blood like krs!cale, maybe cale went to an event where he caught the attention of someone dangerous like adin)

- cale is like “what the fuck my father is actually talking to me. What does this mean”

- somehow after a while of deruth trying to be more of a parent, lily and basen taking this as a chance to try and get closer with cale, and cale just being confused and feeling like a fish out of water, they find out about him faking the trash behavior

- idk how, maybe he just hinted at some things being the way they are bc of reasons to lily or whatever not thinking much would come from it??

- but yea they find out and theyre *not* happy bc cale has been doing this self sacrificial self destructive act on his own for ten years now and they want him to actually be happy

- cale at hearing that goes shocked pikachu face

- “oh i care abt my family but i didnt expect them to care about me back” 💀

- he does NOT wanna let the trash act go bc he thinks if he stops the vassals will just be pieces of shit again and it also a deterrent against gossip abt his family in general (hes also a depressed little fuck who thinks he doesnt fit in with the family, who thinks he deserves the scorn a little and who likes some of the benefits the act gave him (he also doesnt rlly know who else to be hashtag identity crisis))

- family is determined tho bc their boy just spent 10 years being self destructive like this while hiding that he really loved them ALL THIS TIME and they wanna show him they wanna spend time with him and that they love him back

- shit can still get a little tense sometimes, just bc of the baggage between deruth and cale and also just bc recovery isnt lineair and in really bad situations like for example the vassals making a really shit move cale would def put himself in the line of fire in a heartbeat and do smth trashy again

- i would love to see eric wheelsmans face when he finds out cale was faking it this whole time, man has been trying to stage interventions and shit while cale was doing it on purpose

#just talking dmm #asks #tcf #I KNOW THIS IS GENERIC BUT ITS ALSO MY FAVORITE #I EAT UP THIS KINDA STORYLINE TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN #cale just wants to rot in his room but his family will not let him JSNJSMS

(tampers with the gas) dirkjake for the shipping bingo

as you can see my thoughts on them are varied and i can write entire essays. a gas leak made my obsession with them hit an entire level i didnt know was possible. They're everything and nothing to me and i dislike most of fanon abt it and i hate this ship but also i have never cared this much about a ship in general for the doors it could open into messy straight relationship type bullshit with they give me the mic. I find myself often looking thru the tag just to see what people say on it because either theyre completely annoying and wrong or relatively right it really depends.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING SECTION CONTAINS EXTENSIVE RAMBLING ON A TOPIC NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN:

i will both simultaneously defend this ship with my fucking life but also i will take any chance to shoot those two fuckers dead i genuinely wish jake english and dirk strider ill they are teens with attachment issues and i think the demonisation of it w/o looking at it as just a relationship that sort of is messy sucks and i think fanon should leave them the fuck alone. if given the chance i would kill both of them simply so i wouldnt have to see them at all but also i wish there were more meta writers for dirkjake bcus i find it so hard to find people that extrapolate at length abt it because its so wild to me the guilt and the feelings and the way they tear and grate at each other is so interesting to me.

every relationship is worse with them anyone that gets caught in the crossfires and tries to sort it out is basically doomed because whats probably going to happen is that dirk and jake are going to gang up to either a.) try to use the person as a weapon against the other or gang up to hurt this mfer theyre essentially doomed but in like a way that everyone is partying and those two are stuck together with awkward air.

im. not going to check over this ramble im just going to keep going. i have so much shit to say.

i hate the villainisation of dirk i hate the villainisation of jake they both suck in the way that teens and most young adults will theyre both at fault i hate the "jake never felt anything towards dirk because hes aro" yes he fucking did aro people can still feel levels of attraction and its very fucking obvious how tied up in each other they are and there are like a million and one reasons i could name it if you gave me a day and 15 pages of text.

i hope they both kill each other the idea of them being happy together is endearing but i dont want that for them most times unless im feeling especially sappy the fandom sort of ruined dirkjake for me heres my big old fuckyou to OD anyways heres a few song lyrics that make me think of them

They would literally be the subject of so much fucking talk in publications because theyre never over not even close theyre stuck together theyre going to be doing this dance for fucking years and either end up as the strangest but happiest freaks in some janked up mansion with a million different things that the normal person would think is fucking weird and strange and unnerving but which they think is completely normal or theyre just going to end up killing each other and nobody is going to be safe in the crossfire theyre going to key each others cars and send pipe bombs and poke at every single hole and flaw in the others facade blah blah blah.

people who just focus on the good parts of dirk and jake dont get it people who focus on the flaws only dont get it i think there should be more discussion but also the idea of being exposed to someone who doesnt get it is hell for me ive read their pesterlogs like so many fucking times and ive written extensively abt their selves and what flaws they have and i could prolly kick the shit out of them anyways mic drop im done.

#dirkjake #borzoi meta #borzoi talks #homestuck meta #dirk strider #jake english #homestuck #hom3stuck #i literally fucking hate this ship but its also one of the ones i take so serioussly thats why i hate it ive loved it so much i can hate it

[enderspawn]

hhnngngn this might be rambley bc im still trying to organize my thoughts n stop them from just rattling around in my head but. god chip is just. defined by his guilt.

from the moment the black rose went down, from when he saw arlin get swallowed up in that ocean to save him, from the moment he became haunted-- its just been guilt. the base of all of this is built on the back of that initial survivors guilt and has been compounded by every event hes gone through since.

gillion vanishing like that just brought everything back, bc its the same thing again-- he loved someone and they got hurt and vanished and its because of him. whether its because he offered them a card (he didn't, the other two even said he didnt, but he did in his own eyes) or because he got the cards in the first place or even because he pulled gillion onto that fucking boat.

theres some part of him that feels like all of the tragedies in his life are connected via the one thing they have in common: him. he is the issue.

and normally its enough for him to hide that away behind a cocky ego and self aggrandizement and caring only abt himself and later his few loved ones (because by god all he wants is to be loved) it doesnt get rid of the problem. it only invites more people in to eventually get hurt. arlin, the black rose, price, ollie, gillion-- fuck, even things like putting roofus and amber in danger just by being around them.

that's why seeing the crew was the final straw for him, the thing that broke him. because the moment he fucking left their lives, they thrived. all without him. surely they, and everyone else, would be better off without him around to fuck things up.

bc thats what he is, isnt he?

a fuck up. a mistake.

a bastard.

the core of the issue really is just. his own self-loathing. its fueled by his guilt and then the guilt is made worse by the self loathing in a fucked up ouroboros.

i think chip is also a lot more introspective than people give him credit for. i think its bc of his dont-care brash kinda persona, but he's really cognizant of his own thoughts. its just… that entire thing is also tainted by his own poor self image.

he can recognize that his desire to make his own crew with jay and gillion and keeping ollie around is all just him trying to recapture the black rose. that's not… something EASY to recognize, that your own actions are fueled by this self-internalized desire. but because of his loathing, he views it as selfish. that he doesnt actually care for these people (he does so much it hurts), only what they can give him and how they compare to his past he can't escape.

thats what fucking haunts him, it's his own past. its the fragile reflection of this bygone age he can never return to because he can never be that little boy again.

chip has spent over half his fucking life just trying to reclaim that past-- to find arlin and drey and finn and to have his own crew to be the loving family he's cursed to never have. he wants something he can be proud of, something arlin would be proud of so that he never has to face the idea that arlin won't like who hes become, because that's the only thing that has kept him afloat.

and god fuck. thinking over it now, he knows arlin is out there now. he knows that, and he knows his best chance would be with the riptide crew-- with drey and his friends. he knows arlin is suffering. but. he still wants to leave.

and he thinks himself so selfish for it but hes selfless, he's giving up everything hes known and had because he thinks, hopes, prays, that it will spare the people he loves. "if you love them let them go" kind of thing. he wont be with them but they'll be better off without him and all he rlly wants is for them to be okay.

and god i. i touched on him seeing his own introspection through the lens of selfishness. and in a way, chip is an inherently selfish character. or at least a self-centered one. he cares most about him and his loved ones, he often acts without considering how it will impact others and only based on his own desires, and he presents with an ego the size of mars.

but fuck he is so selfless-- even more so now that he's been with the riptide pirates, especially gillion and his ideals of being a "hero". but even his own low self-worth contributes to his selflessness.

on joaldo island, when the three of them and la alma were locked in with the baron, he signed to be the paramount champion. they didn't know if the contract was magically binding, if he would be stuck, but he signed it anyway because it was the only way to protect everyone else from doing it-- even la alma, who he barely knows! but he cares for him and that means he's willing to do what it takes regardless (its the right thing to do, chip wants to do right he wants to be good but its been trained out of him by the need to survive first and foremost-- focus on yourself bc thats all you have)

we even saw it this episode with the compass. he knows its evil, he knows it can do horrible things to you-- he doesn't care. jay is looking for niklaus, which can't be good, and he has low-enough self preservation to use it anyway because if it works it means they have a way-- they can find gillion, jay doesn't have to make a deal, it will be alright. no matter the cost to chip.

when jay tries to stop him from signing that contract on joaldo, chip just says that he'll figure a way out. that he always does. and that fucking line makes me ache because its true.

chip is like a cockroach. no matter what shit life throws at him, no matter how many tragedies he has to face, he keeps on going. even when it seems aimless, or that it would be pointless (like a 10 year search for a man sunken to the bottom of the ocean)

the sad part is, despite his plans to leave the riptide pirates behind, even if he went through with it.... i think he'd keep on going. it would be just another weight on his shoulders to carry and he'd go on. keeping to himself, isolated and hurting and so very alone, but at least he isnt hurting anyone. maybe he'd return to the solo-sailing lifestyle, returning to his pointless search because he doesnt know what else he can do.

but that would like… i think kind of be it for him in a way. he's alive, but he stops trying to reach out. hes alive, but life has beaten the endurance out of him to keep trying for anything better.

idk this whole post reads as really melodramatic n angsty n shit but listen im in my feelings. let me live, MOM.

oc spotlight: patoto (villainverse)

oh man ok. villainverse patoto. probably one of my favorite ocs ive ever made tbh

he started out as a joke almost, a sort of "what if?" au sorta deal. what if patoto was a villainous saiyan? it sounded like such a fun concept i just had to explore it. and then i came up with this design

which was just SO cool to me i couldnt stop thinking about it. and then before i knew it he became his own character--a patoto from a parallel universe where he was a ruthless warrior, totally opposite from his mainverse counterpart

he developed so fast from there. i gave him a companion that ended up being kinpa, and he developed into kinpa's bodyguard. i gave him a rival that ended up being calabris. i gave him a complicated relationship with his parents, one of which he thought was dead for most of his life (his armor is actually based off of hers to remember her by). his universe grew and his story basically wrote itself i was so obsessed with him and still am

here's his current ref showing how much he's grown

even today im still giving him more development and story! as of right now in the timeline (post-mirrors and post-facets), he has a child with his partner kinpa and his family has grown from just him to a group of six including himself! he's learned to have friends and open his heart to others, and he's gotten so strong im so proud of him.

mirrors would have never existed had i not ran with his concept like i did. his character and story contrasting with mainverse patoto's is just so fun and awesome to me and i've always had fun with it and i feel like i'll continue to have fun with it as well!!

i could honestly keep going about some specific details abt him like his relationship with kinpa and zumeg (both of them) and his father and his kid and. yknow what i will LOL

his relationship with kinpa started as just a bodyguard situation but OF COURSE that developed into an actual partnership bc i love that shit. he was this cold and frankly mean guy that wanted nothing to do with kinpa or being his bodyguard--he hated it. but after getting trapped on earth in a parallel universe, he learned to open up to the idea of having at least one friend and letting himself care about someone for the first time since he was a child.

as for his parents...thats complicated lol. (facets spoilers ahead !!!) his mother zumeg was presumed dead when she didnt return from a battle when he was just a boy, and his father left some time before that, so he was basically raised in an orphanage into adulthood (or at least until he could join the army). he met the mainverse zumeg and that shook him to his core bc she was not only so different but she still cared about him and reminded him what it was like to be loved by his own mother. it wasnt until way later, many many years later, that he decided he wanted to find his father and find out why he left them. after getting that clarification, he chose to give his father a second chance at being part of his life--more for himself than his father, really--and then not long after that he discovered his mother was actually alive, just under someone's control. he saved her, and suddenly he had a family again.

i havent quite developed his story with his kid just yet, but so far what i figure is that he isnt experienced with children at all so he does have a hard time balancing the tough parenting act and the gentle, kind parenting. snake (his son) does feel a pressure to be as great as his father, since he's heard the stories of how he saved the universe before and how he continues to fight and reach new heights. patoto is a little awkward at handling this and has a hard time showing that he's proud of his son and that sort of causes a little tension between them but it eventually works out

basically i love villainverse patoto. a lot. i would die for him actually

I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR EVERYBODY RESPAWNS AU VERY BADLY

thank u for your interest :)! sorry this got kinda longwinded i think. i never write stuff down lol…….

okay sooo i basically wanted an excuse to think about jack being alive post-canon, but i figured if u bring back the guy who had it coming its only fair to bring back other characters who should not have beefed it. and so! the best option seemed like the new-U system! i know they're just a game mechanic thats not supposed to be taken literally but if they're not gonna use it i am lol.

(putting all this under a cut)

roland not respawning after jack kills him in bl2 is kinda weird since he defs uses new-Us in bl1, but i could see jack using a jammer or some chump shit to interrupt the process. maya n lilith's deaths happen in ways were i……. get that they wouldnt respawn but their data could be still in the system somewhere. i also think non-vault hunter npc like scooter would have at least fast traveled once (most of the fast travels are also hyperion? i think? they feel like the same tech) so they might also have digistruct data. sometimes the system trips up, or u cant pay the fee ect ect, and u dont respawn, but ur up there! backed up in the damn cloud or some nonsense.

wilhelm, nisha, n aurelia are all perma-killed in canon, but are replayable fights, so TECHNICALLY they kind of are respawning they're just………… stuck. the new-U puts them back together but they cant move on for some reason. some goes for a lot of the other infinitely respawning bosses/enemies.

so the catalyst for this au now that bl3 is out is that post-canon, tannis is training her siren powers by shifting thru hyperion's systems, she decides familiarizing herself with the new-U system might be useful when she uncovers all these backed up and malfunctioning respawns, and realizes that if she just like. refreshes the system, all these people might come back. she consults with the other raiders about her findings, n that she probably COULD pick and choose profiles to revive their friends but not their enemies, but tannis is trying to AVOID playing god these days thank u very much.

ultimately they all want their friends back too much to pass up the opportunity and have tannis go thru with it. everybody respawns!! everybody gets a lot of confused echo-messages!! everybody cries!! the crimson raiders are reunited!!!

(this is the part where i talk abt jack and angel's respawns bc they're. specific.)

jack not respawning at a new-U is kinda weird with the context that he like. owns them? it tracks that he thought he was too good to need them, but hes also very paranoid, so what if he had his set up different? a failsafe in the Very Unlikely Event something happens to him, where instead of the nearest new-U, he's respawned at a station in a saferoom somewhere where he can be in immediate control of the situation again. it also tracks that he was very confident he could keep angel safe, but again. what if the very very worst happens? angel's respawn is set to be something only jack can activate, but he has to do it manually so no one else can get to her first. his ego was too big to see any flaws with this!

he doesnt think about the chance that something happening to angel while she's so deeply ingrained in hyperion's systems might mess stuff up. so when she dies, the saferoom goes dark, and jack's too far gone to notice. he's going to win the day and revive his daughter into the better, safer world he's going to build. this does not happen, he dies and his data has no new-U to go to so it just sits there. until tannis resets the system, which powers his saferoom up and spits him out. a new-U glitch he didnt care enough about to have anyone patch interrupts the reconstruction process and he loses his arm to it. he manages enough first aid to not just die again, and finally respawns angel, hoping she'll help him.

after respawning, once angel is able to get her bearings, she's devastated by the idea that jack won, but quickly realizes he DIDNT and he's very hurt and weak right now and this is her CHANCE. but she cant bring herself to kill him she wants to so badly but she just. cant go through with it. but she sure as shit can pistol whip him, collar him, and march him straight to the crimson raiders. once she finds them.

(there are some other specifics we have about this au, and lots we havent figured out yet but this post is already so long im sorry……..)

#im trying to avoid retconning too much canon and just working around it #but i never finished tales so. thats not on my mind with this au so much lol #i try 2 have fun...... #borderlands #everybody respawns #long post

WOWOW. one of your girls is so yummy.

very excited for next part and to see your perspective and ideas.

but for me i think we’d need more angst rather then revenge. im assuming jk has lots of friends who he sleeps with and its not just yn. which means to him yn is nothing special (unfortunately) thats why i dont see the point of ‘revenge’ because realistically i dont think jk really cares if yn fucks with someone else which has been proved in already the first part. (jk knows yn sleeps with jimin yet doesnt seem to really care and only wants sex.) he only looked for her to sleep with her in the first place & not because he wanted to have a friendly conversation or check up on her. he started touching her before he knew about her sleeping with someone else.

its kinda the same with yn as yn also slept with jimin (which was so hot.) , except she seems to be interested in jungkook. but i dont think yn is really letting jk walk all over her because shes well aware that jk sleeps with other woman and she knows he lied to her yet choose to not speak up. although i love how she can control herself cause if i was in her place id try bring attention to myself and make jk jealous OR js go up to him and slap him especially when he said he ‘just’ left the party while he has a red stain on his shirt 🥸 but by the way she controlled herself and didnt even let jk know that she saw him with another woman, it seems like she knows her feelings wouldnt matter to him because its probably casual for him to be with another (multiple) woman each night.

AND FOR THAT REASONNN^^^ i think the song suits it smmm 😣😣 it fits so perfectly. ive been nonstop listening to the song before i read it and its the first story that im so interested in to write about my opinion. ANYWAYS BACK TO THE STORY.

so maybe shes okay with just simply being one of his girls because she knows she wouldnt be anything more & also she may not want to stop sleeping with him because thats the only way he can be close to her relationship wise.

which means yn is literally just one of his girls for some of his nights. I LOVE THAT SMSMSM. also everything here is simply my opinion and arguments as to why there should be more angst rather then revenge for atleast now until theres more development in their characters and we’d know more. althought idk how many parts ur willing to give in for this. BUT thats simply my perspective, if u think of the story differently and wanted to choose a different way for them thats cool too

i talk alot im gonna stfu now but i really like ur writing and ur idea for it was really cool. im waiting for the next part, take ur time and i hope everythings well for you. 😁

-soo ??

nooooo you're literally so so sweet. thank you so much for taking the time to send me this message. i love ur review !!

im glad u got to see how i related the song and the story. yeah, yn is a bit...not in the right head space 😭 atp she's already given up on the chance that maybe jk might like her back. ofc she can't help but feel sad bc she fell for him. ure right that she's content with being one of his girls, she'll take whatever jungkook gives her :( she didn't even have to ask jk if he slept w that girl bc she already knows 🤧

on jk finding out abt yn and jimin - jk did ask her if they're friends "like us?" i wonder what he meant 🤔

maybe i can write a short backstory of yn and jk hmmmm

#thank u again !! this message made me smile #also gave me more inspo haha #i do have some ideas and i've written maybe 1k words already #asks #anon #anon soo #fic ooyg

No but like. ive been feeling specially insane abt purple since i saw ep 29 n 30, but what gets me abt him is that the type of bad parenting he experienced from cobalt is very specific,

because is abt a love that is conditional and the lingering pain of that. a love that was only given if purple was enough. and when purple showed he might not had been that for cobalt's standards (even as a small child), he got mad and left (which also applies to orchid, like- "how dare you not give me a better child")

and thats why he was king and got the dragon egg and betrayed people who could've unconditionally love them given the chance, because he didnt had anyone else to prove it was an option and was blindly focused on being big and Worth It no matter the cost, so maybe- Just maybe, their father could come back and love them. but he was running after a father that never cared truly.

so then when they saw they could have what they always dreamed of and needed wanted on arms reach instead of a probable finish line in a foggy path, he cling to that, to mango, at the risk of probably just being seen as a tool and nothing else, because thats what love is, isnt? a one way exchange in which you have to prove youre worth it and serve to have it...

and then you find a love that is unconditional,

#why is a purple stickman gving me Such Feels. god #n i just keep thinkin how he showed off his skills to mango when they first met like ''look i can do it! i'm enough!'' and how Much later #mango realized he had found what he actually needed to deal with his grieving. somewhere to put all that love and care he had #like- like..... yea. )-)o <- crying #avm spoilers #avm #animation vs minecraft #ava mango #ava purple #ava king orange #ava cobalt #zach barks #also. love me a canonical he-they

[hircinesring]

since im on my tes blog im just gonna post abt some thoughts i was having when reminded of the paarthurnax thing and i was thinking of like.

the concept of the dragons being 'evil by nature' being. conceptually bizarre?? i guess since theyre not strictly mortal or of the same makeup as the rest of the races of nirn, the concepts of nature vs nurture dont strictly apply, esp since the dragons just. 'exist' and dont seem to... reproduce? at all?

and when youre a godlike being but close enough to mortals to not QUITE be gods, then youre still going to have preconcieved ideas of divinity or lordship.

i just think the entire idea of the dragons and paarthy's line about 'is it more noble to be born good, or to overcome one's evil nature through great effort' just utterly fascinating. like why is that your nature? was there some sort of flaw in your creation that resulted in a lack of empathy for other sentient creatures? or is that in fact the default state of the divinity you came from?

and DOES this make you more or less worthy than those that never had this so called 'flaw' in their nature? are your atrocities forgivable because it's simply part of your makeup to do them, or did you actually have a choice in the matter, and just didnt care until you felt guilt for the first time, or saw that there was benefit in it to get ahead of the curve?

is paarthy truly following a path of repentance, did he truly betray alduin in an act of defiance and support for mortals? or did he see the writing on the wall in that they'd defeat him eventually, and so he wanted to be on the winning side?

my own personal instinct is that no, he doesnt deserve mercy, because those are fucking war crimes- but that's from a mortal perspective where you assume that there was, in fact, actual choice in the matter. regardless of if his betrayal was self serving or not, my instinct either way is that no, he doesn't 'deserve' mercy because he still comitted and contributed to the worldwide subjugation that could only be stopped with a time altering magic and the killing of every other dragon out there.

but then if i try to consider the idea that, as something that isn't mortal, but also isn't a god, but rather an incomplete state of metaphysical inbetween, was it really a choice or more a manifestation of the nature of being from something divine, that asserts its own divinity over the world anyways? and then does him not doing it now mean that he has in fact overcome it? does he deserve the chance to prove that he can go against this apparent 'programming'? does the fact that, if allowed to live, he has other dragons around him and is apparently teaching them his way of peace mean that he should live, if he can 'reform' his own people?

and does any of it matter when it was so, so so long ago that barely anyone even remembers the facts any more and that all of the perpetrators bar him are dead? should he be punished for something so long ago? is the fact that he helped then, and is helping now, enough to make up for having supported aldiun and the dragon's conquest in the past? when all of the dragons were killed for it anyway?

and this doesn't even include my thoughts on delphine and the blades.

considering it's presented as a really simple thing to decide: kill the dragon or not, i find it way more interesting and thought provoking on like, philisophical levels, than just 'grandpa dragon vs mean lady'.

[t0bey]

hi hiii its the tracy lore person from twitter <3 i feel like ive kinda pestered you enough over there so sorry in advance BUT, hear me out, i havent been able to stop thinking abt burke comparing tracy and luca to alice and orpheus in his letter, and it was probably just a passing comparison that didnt mean anything, but i feel like theres something there!! especially when you poke into the backstories of the characters, and i have already rambled too much about this so i'll stop here, but food for thought! just on the off chance you might find this concept interesting

NO BUT YOU'RE SO RIGHT I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS SM,,

what i love about burke is that while he considered orpheus and alice pests bc he's not naturally that much of a family person (he forgot that humans tend to reproduce and was surprised when alice showed up, lol. ace king) but the way he truly cared about the kids despite finding them annoying and was never able to stop feeling guilt/haunted about them being stolen away from the manor during the riot is just so *punches wall*

and i RLLY love that he immediately mentally associates Luca and Tracy with Orpheus because of both of their curiosity and intelligence. It's also funny in Luca's case that Burke could probably sense some physical resemblance to Orpheus as well lol.

I'm equally interested in Bonbon and his connection to both Alice and Tracy. Tracy actually helped create/adjust some of his functions along w/ her dad, and Alice was implied to be the first thing to push Bonbon towards sentience as a robot. And when Tracy showed up at the manor, she was immediately interested in finding out how Bonbon works. Possibly to look into how sentient he is, due to her wanting to create a robot as conscious as possible to fill the void her dad's death left her with.

This specific branch of lore is so interesting i hhhhhhhhh

#ask #anon #also HIII it was fun talking to you about how tracy deserves to be unhinged

[menalez]

Same Anon re: butch rep or lack thereof in queer love ultimatum:

Do you have a link/tag for your posts about the show? I didn’t see the butch rep post and I’d love read what other radfems think. I scrolled back but couldn’t find it.

And yeah I agree pretty much everyone except Xander, yoly (although she’s not 100% innocent,) and Sam suck to varying degrees, I only singled Vanessa out because the ask was about gender identities and Vanessa identifies as pansexual instead of lesbian. I felt bad for the other lesbians because they were to my knowledge, lesbians attracted to women, but technically dating self admitted non-women. Toxicity/drama wise, I pretty much agree with the general consensus on Mildred/Lexi/Rae/Aussie/tiff/Vanessa so I’m not going to add anything abt them.

My only unpopular opinion is about mal. Mal doesn’t necessarily suck per say, I think she’s a decent person and she’s super fine. but like Vanessa, her sudden reversal into wanting to propose seems motivated by wanting to “win,” instead of a genuine desire to commit to yoly. The fact that she suddenly started picking up after herself around the house shows she was capable of doing it all along but was content to let yoly pick up after her. The way she is motivated by wanting to win is a lot less obvious and less malicious than Vanessa, because she does care about yoly to some degree and she might not even consciously realize her motives. But I don’t think her intentions are genuine, I think she’s a real smooth talker towards both Lexi, yoly, and the camera/audience. I empathize with her a lot because I’m a poc lesbian (femme Indonesian though, not black butch,) and if a white woman showed up with a real chance of taking my girlfriend away I’d be feeling all types of old insecurities and might feel the overwhelming urge to win. I might be reading into it, but I just think if everyone wants to call Vanessa out for her sudden change of heart, it might be good to acknowledge that Mal is kind of doing something similar, but a lot less clumsily. I know she said she eventually wanted to get married after her finances were taken care of, but after the finance conversation w/yoly, I’m a bit suspicious about whether she was actually taking concrete steps to make that reality happen, or if she was using that as a delaying excuse. I would hate for her and her bestie to spin the narrative that yoly was some sort of gold digger who abandoned Mal to fall in love with Xander’s financial statements, because it kind of looked like they were implying that in the last episode. I had a soft spot for Mal, but I think I if the threat of xander were to go away, Mal would go back to her old, not-picking-up, marriage and kids delaying self.

this was my post about it. no one besides me rly shared their thoughts on that tho, to me i just thought it was concerning and indicative of a larger trend & commonly held idea nowadays that gnc = u must be non-binary or trans somehow. it all goes back to "cis = you identify as the gender you were born as" and gender simply being the societally & culturally ascribed roles based on ur sex... based on that logic ofc butch lesbians would not fit in and ofc many gnc people dont "feel" like theyre women (if female) or men (if male) but rather simply exist in the body that theyre in and dont conform to the gender roles pushed onto them.

i actually rly thought tiff was terrible at first but surprisingly, out of the bunch shes not the worst. definitely aussie (big disappointment. was into her at first), vanessa (also disappointment. shes rly beautiful too), mildred, and lexie are the ones i really didnt like. i loved mal, xander, & rae the most. im at a stage where im not 100% sure about yoly i mean she seems really lovely but the fact that mal expressed these insecurities holding her back from marriage & yoly basically confirmed every single one of them was like. really sad to see. and seeing mal cry so much was heartbreaking too ? like poor baby mal i want to just hug her and find a way to cheer her up.

i do agree w u tho that mal wanting to get married doesnt make much sense. i mean yoly basically confirmed every fear mal had that was keeping her from getting married to begin with!! if that were me id be like hell no im not proposing to u, if my main concerns were 1. im not financially ready and 2. my partner falls in love with everyone quickly and in the same way so why would *i* be the one, and then my partner went and proved she wants someone with more money + falls in love so fast (2 WEEKS!?!??) then id just say no way maam! we'll get married when u address my concerns! BUT that said, u made some decent points. i also was skeptical of the sudden flip to wanting to get married to yoly & the sudden meeting all of yoly's desires, like when someone is acting that way u rly dont know if theyre genuinely that way or if theyre just doing it to win. im skeptical of those things being consistent things too.

i got a similar sense to u there but also i generally just dont believe anyone is 100% genuine on the show, maybe the most genuine has been rae or even yoly bc yoly has been pretty direct & open w her feelings despite the issues it was causing. xander seems sweet but i definitely thought it was odd that she told yoly shes in love w her and then when vanessa asked she said she doesnt love yoly .. oh also sam is just amazing. i loved seeing her grow enough to stand up for herself and speak up unapologetically. i was super disappointed by aussie tbh she was like one of the women i was rly rooting for bc idk asian butches just have my heart bc they make me think of my lovely gf yanno but she rly let me down and was imo the absolutely worst of the bunch, even tho the one who would get shit on all the time is vanessa (who i think is not even as bad)

also lexie is annoying as hell and i think rae should dump her bc i was just getting some red flags from how lexie was acting ngl

[gunmetal-ring]

Do you have any other stranger things ships?

At the risk of starting Discourse... yes lol

Hellcheer obv - i like eddie and steves friendship dynamic but i find it very, very weird that theres such an insistence that theyre just as canon as hellcheer bc steve like... literally confessed to nancy that hes still desperately be-my-wife-and-mother-of-my-many-children in love with her but whatever. Like I'll concede that sure maybe actors and writers and showrunners all saying that hellcheer was romantic isnt technically canon, fine, but, uh. Idk. Hardcore pushing-for-canon to the point of harassing the joes abt steddie and shitting on grace/chrissy abt steddie is... extremely offputting to say the least, esp given the fact that it could not be more clear that they are not and have never been and will never be canon, even if eddie was still alive. I definitely think eddie is bi tho lol

Anyway

I like nancy with steve better than with jonathan - yeah steve was a typical high school popular boy asshole for a while, but jonathan 1) literally creepshotted her, 2) manic-pixie-dream-girl'd her, and now 3) is actively lying to her and avoiding her. I've never liked him and his only redeeming quality imo is the way he goes to fuckin bat for will at every chance he gets bc i love will

I like robin and nancys friendship, if i didnt love steve and want him to be happy as much as i do, id want robin and nancy to get together bc vickie is blah and robin and nancy have such a cute dynamic and complement each other so well, but if robin rly likes blah vickie then so be it, i want robin to have a gf that she likes

Jopper but thats a no brainer lol

As for the kids theyre kind of too young for me to really care enough to "ship". Max and lucas are cute together. I rly hope that they dont go the tragic-single-gay-kid route with will bc i love him so, so much and it seems like the writers are definitely angling to keep mike/eleven together, so i hope he finds someone and doesnt spend his life crying and pining for a straight boy who doesn't love him back. Idc abt dustin and susie. Actually i feel like the writers are setting up dustin and erica to get together (like 10 years from now, obv) but i like their friendship its so funny.

I love hopper/joyce/murray 3 musketeers dynamic

I like argyle and jonathans friendship but mostly bc it means i get to see argyle bc i love him lol hes so funny

Is that all the characters? Theres so many characters on this show i love most of them and dont want any of them to die off but i cant keep track of them all lol

Oh and btw i hate billy, glad hes dead, have never and will never ship him w anyone bc he was a racist abusive piece of shit who had one (1) redeeming moment of his entire fucking existence, its sad that he was abused but that doesnt excuse the fact that he was also abusive, sorry not sorry

OOOOOOH AN ADDED TWIST TO THE SLUT ERA AU but like what if steve was the one to encourage henry in the first place they chose an apartment based on the fairly lgbt+ friendliness and steve wanted henry to experience what he did in high school the scandalous hookups and the dates and the chance to just have fun! so they go clubbing pretty regularly and steve was cool and fine he tried to help henry break out his shell he tried to help and realized henry didnt really need it i mean he knew his best friend was a looker there is no doubt abt that he didnt really have trouble finding guys but holy shit theres a line how long was it until he found someone how long until he found the one he wont even need steve to be by his side anyone when douchebag of the week comes to pick up henry to do god knows what and steve goes to robin for advice and she calms him down for the most part “steve hes only doing what you told him and its just a phase yk? you did the same, i promise hes not looking for love in a shoddy club bathroom. even if he did whats it to you? shouldnt we be happy for him” “i am happy for him i just…idk i want him to be safe, yk how it is out there” “i do know and i also know that henry isnt stupid he can take care of himself” steve tries to go find someone get his mind off of henry (thats all he thinks about these days is henry henry henry whats he doing with who it usually cuts off there bc thats when he gets dizzy) but its just not working out and he thinks nothing of it (maybe hes not in the mood) and all is fine and well until one day he comes home from work to find henry with his tongue down some guys throat in the kitchen and tick tick boom

anon your mind

meanwhile! henry’s had more than enough practice swallowing down his feelings for steve, ever since high school he’s been pretending like seeing him with girls didn’t bother him. that the thought of steve with the wife and kids and everything didn’t make him want to sob. and now they’re in college and steve’s encouraging him to get out there and hell he might as well! no point in staying hung up on someone who will never reciprocate. and while all the attention is sort of affirming and the hook ups are fun, they just don’t hit the way he was hoping. he doesn’t regret them or anything, they just aren’t making him forget like he was hoping. make him leave behind silly high school crushes.

and then steve catches him and one of the guys blowing up his phone making out in their apartment, and at first henry is sheepish, feels like he got caught doing something he shouldn’t even though he knows that’s not true. but those feelings disappear when steve gets upset. and that’s not fair! half of this was his idea! and even if it wasn’t, henry had put up with more than a few girlfriends they both knew were going nowhere just so steve could have fun, why can’t he return the courtesy? what’s gotten into him? why does he care if he’s seeing someone?????

#i assume there’s a angry sudden kiss soon after this #and then steve going through henry’s phone ‘blocked. blocked. blocked’ ‘he’s in my group project’ ‘he asked what’s up at 3am. blocked’ #this is such a good thought anon #i am obsessed with both of them thinking the other one is going to leave them behind one day for ‘the one’ #anonymous #henry series

[gayspock]

ok finished ep 1 :3c randdommm thoughts

firstlyyyy !! hmmm, as an ep? unsure how to feel about this one! in terms of like- progression? does that make sense. idk how to say it... bc it kinda pulls the rug out a few times to the point where im like hmmm idk; i feel like this coulda been done different. does that... make sense? usually i like that abt farscape but here, part of me feels like it was just a "well we're back several steps, and not in a good way that instills frustration, or that was properly exploratory, but just in a this was sort of filling out screentime sort of way" but eh. shrug. it still had a lota lot of good in it:3

ALSO i kind of wanted aeryn to be separated for a good while in terms of what that could do for, like, the story. i think it'd be interesting - because right now, hm.. idk. i feel like crais by himself, with talyn? well im just not so sure!! and again im talking, like, strictly speculatively and in terms of story. so, IM ABSOLUTELY GIVING IT A CHANCE, BTW! especially bc i think farscape does often prove me wrong. however i am GOING 2 speak my truth hereeee [looks shy] ...

i donttt... realllyy... ehrrm.. care for crais and what theyve done with him so far. its not that i dont LIKE him. but he really isnt anything interesting at all to me. shrug. its giving nothing- sorry... its why im kinda glad to see scorpius- bc i was glad to find out crais wouldnt stay "the big bad" because, yeah, it really wasnt working for me. he's nothing interesting, or innovative in terms of a character . sorrryyyyyyy.

and i feel like, by himself, i dont know. like i said- that's speculaitve - but i do sort of... question whether him, being off by himself, is going to be that interesting, because of that. at least, versus him having aeryn there to bounce off of, and inherently kinda tying them back more to the main crew, etc... does that make sense? bc i feel like- yknow, s1, he'd just disappear for long periods of time, and i'd almost forget he was even. a thing. LOL. and his dynamic was also... usually with his subordinates. and idk. they are kind of just npc-types, for lack of a better term. substanceless background guys. i think therefore, whilst you can demonstrate character like that, its never... of the same calibre as when you're actually in scenes with other characters of you know. substance. (and thats not a RULE, ofc, but its something hard to pull off otherwise esp when- well yeah, crais really doesnt feel like anything to me). and that was fine for s1, i think it worked better then, but from now on ehhh idk!!!

ANYWAYS SPEAKING OF

I LOVEEE TALNY I LOVE TALYN THATS ALSO WHY IM CONCERNED BC I JSUT WANT TO SEE MORE OF TALYN .... SORRRYYYY the problem with farscape thus far is theres so many little guys RIGHT up my alley and im bouncing up and down and criyng bC I LVOEEEEE ... WE BETTER GET MORE FREAKING TALYN. SO HELP ME GOD...

also i havent talked abt her much either. i like chiana. BUT i feeel bad bc i wanna LURV her but i think its like... THUS far its kinda obvious they didnt intend to keep her at first. so i really want to see more involvement with her going forward. i dont MIND so much that we havent had a lot of focus on her, so far, even if its like... WELL, i think in general, it was just an odd time to introduce her even if they couldnt rlly help it. like, it was right before all the finale eps and stuff, yknow, so we couldnt have an ep where we get a lot of her!!! but even still, like...

i always said sth i LIKED abt the show was the way they were pretty slow and organically introduced us. so i cant complain that much. :3

IALSO LOVEEE LOVE LOVE THE LACK OF RESET BUTTON ON... EVERYTHING, FRANKLY. IDK IF I SAID THAT YET. but like i love how it HAS been episodic, but things in each episode always actually do have bearings on the show as a whole. even if its just development stuff. like its so refreshing after a lot of trek, and other scifi shows of this ilk - wherein the eps so self-contained...

even in a human reaction. i diddnttt say it at the time BUT yeah im still unsure how i feel abt that one but i really appreciate that even though it was a simulation, they did mitigate the usual failings of that trope- they had the crew in there, and real, so they could actually experience things and it wasnt just crichton going through the ringer. and ofc the other consequence of that ep lol

ALSO speaking of. im kinda glad to see more development with crichton, too, and with all of them but him esp.... babycakes was fucking FRANTIC in this episode, man, holy SHIT.

i liked all of their reactions honestly. help......

idk i feel like iahadosmething else to say oh god what was it

ehrm

yeah d'argo and crichton being WARRIORS together. increasingly obsessed. their rock paper scissors.... oh im obsessseddd

also hate this

OH GOD TUMBLR LOOPS IT FUCKING HELL

accepting i like blogging a typing a lot so, perhaps ill loosely 'live blog' my thoughts on various mcyt things im trying to watch. im basically just jumping on a lot of random guys i have never seen before bc i dont really know what i like at this point lol

hermitcraft s9 & s8 - after watching the Life series i thought ya know, ill watch the new HC to see whats up. etho wasnt playing s9 yet so i watched bdubs s9 and kinda liked it (tho i find myself to be less into his style of commentating now). i decided to try watching Grian s9 as well since i didnt mind what i saw of him either. his buildings are cool and s9 being new, its made me realize they hadnt really had a chance to do all the... rping stuff ive seen implied about season 8 (but again idk how much is exaggerated by fandom there so).

but having caught up on s9 i wanted to watch, i decided to go backwards. im kinda jumping around perspectives aaand it made me realize. while i really dont care about the rping they apparently often fall into during the newer seasons... i loooove the beginning. like, the start of s9 throwing everyone in blind, starting from scratch, scrambling to figure out what to do. thats fun. idk, i just loved the energy of the start of s9! and s8 too. and i think thats also where i love the proxy mod, i like the proxy when its there but not like... always constant, and having it for the first episode/beginning is a nice reminder of everyone's energy and vibes. like youre meeting everyone for the first time again. and i think the reset of a server and needing to start over is the most pure form of fun all of them have with each other.

so while i may keep up w s9 for a bit i feel i may fall off it unless etho continues and is consistent... and i may just slowly work my way backwards until i hit a season that isnt as full of rp as these more recent ones. s8 is also one i bet ill fall out of too tbh but i will keep jumping around episodes too.

hermitcraft s6 - since i didnt mind grian all too much, i wanted to see what he was like when he first joined. also because, etho and bdubs have been around SO much longer, i felt intimidated trying to start from their beginnings... and with s6 being grian's first, i felt maybe itd be less abt the rp stuff because hes newer and all. im about 20 eps in and i like it. theres a little bit of that 'i dont know everyone super well' awkwardness to some extent lol but i find him amusing at times. i wouldnt say grian is a fave of mine, but surprisingly i dont mind him even if he has more energy than who i typically prefer lol. idk how much i will keep up with his series though but its been good seeing what hes like.

Additionally with his interactions with others- i have certainly enjoyed scar and impulse but i dont think i have the energy to watch them fully. in any other case i thought id find scar 'annoying' with his um. well, constant dying and lack of awareness. but hes got such a good personality, and is legitimately funny alongside it and others. seeing him in small doses with grian is nice and i like him quite a bit tbh!

other things - while i watched the Life series i enjoyed some others' povs a bit. i like scott and joel, and wanted to see if i would enjoy their other stuff. i do like scott, but i have yet to watch a series of his i was super into... admittedly the first thing i jumped into with both of them was After Life, and while i think the mods are neat, i just couldnt stay hooked. i already kinda said why in the tags of my last post so i wont really repeat. i know they have a few other series but Empires didnt intrigue me either so! idk. may just have to be the Life series for these two.

i want to give some others a try, so if anyone Old School out there kinda leans on 'less rp more casual fun' and has some people theyd reccomend watching... lemme know!
