#third night no sleep

[false-guinevere]

Thinking rambly Thoughts about Athena and her genderfuckery and her relationships with Odysseus and Penelope.

Anyway I think it’d be neat if Athena functioned as both Odysseus’ wife and Penelope’s husband in each others absence (and also as a father to Telemachus). Not even necessarily in a romantic way, just a weirdly intimate but unknowable ThingTM they have going on with Athena

TFW your in a triad and one member is a virgin goddess whose definitely playing with you and your family’s lives like Barbie dolls

#just rambles that came to me on the verge of sleep last night #Athena is the third member of Odysseus and Penelope’s relationship but in the Weirdest way possible #Athena thoughts all day every day this week #the odyssey #Odysseus #Penelope #athena #tagamemnon #epic cycle

This is a little head cannon/What if Macaque had more original powers, a little more Starry Night dreamlike powers leaning into the more nurturing kind, you know, the moon and sun kind of powers? 🌙☀️

 

Maybe in the past, he was like a therapy friend to Wukong, someone he could really be himself with, vent, and tell his secrets without being judged in the safety of his own dreams. Someone he can truly trust, and that was Macaque.

Skip to Redemption Ark for Mac

Now he's a therapy friend to the whole MK team! (Against his will) They cuddle, pet, and vent to him with their problems. He's like one of Sandy's therapy cats, just bigger and grumpier.😾💕✨ he just has this way with people I guess

Okay, this is how it starts: Macaque and Wukong's first encounter was in a dream.

Wukong would not shut up about the pretty demon in his crazy dreams, often to his sworn brothers; he talked about all the fun and crazy adventures he'd have, the long meaningful conversations and jokes, and the occasionally moving pictures of otherworldly strong magical humans with sparkly eyes and spiky hair who wield giant weapons that shoots Fire called anime, and that this had been going on for a few months now.

This annoyed and concerned them; they think it's a demon trying to take over the Monkey King's mind or trying to brainwash him somehow, so Azure Lion and the Sworn Brothers all brainstormed together to devise a plan to somehow confront this tricky dream demon. Wukong doesn't want the fun dreams to end or scare off this other celestial monkey, so he decides to talk to his friend in his dreams. Wukong casually brings up the idea that the macaque should visit Flower Fruit and meet his sworn brothers! Macaque of course hesitates, not sure of the idea of traveling to an unknown island and meeting The Monkey King's questionable choice of sworn brothers, but of course, Wukong, sad and a bit offended, but he doesn't give up.

He decides to bring upon the Ultimate Weapon, begging and whining until Macaque crumbles and gives in, which eventually does. Mac reluctantly agrees to travel over to FFM in disguise, just to be safe he tells Wukong he'll be there. Within a month, Wukong couldn't be more excited; he was like a little kid waiting for Christmas day!

So this is what kinds of powers I think he should have.

😴 the first pic is crossing over to other people's dreams and making their experience life-like he has illusion magic so this makes sense to me. Wukong and macaque would prank the Brotherhood or play tags and hide and seek in their brother's dreams. 🌸The second pic is the soothing ability to calm one's nerves if they pet or cuddle him like a therapy cat,🐈 Wukong would groom him for hours to calm his nerves. now come copes with food🍑🍔🍭

🌸🎶I saved the best one for last the cute/sad little head Cannon I have

At the end of every dream Mac visits they would end it by dancing to music Mac would bring from the future laughing and stumbling while wukong slowly wakes up, wukong has always gone to bed early But now he goes even earlier to bed. Wukong always thought he was the luckiest monkey in the world he gets to have two Adventure and one of them is with his prettiest best friend Macaque 😚✨the monkey of his dreams.

🌸 Wukong couldn't truly dream of a world without his bestest friend🥰✨

#monkie kid #lego monkie kid #lmk #sun wukong #six eared macaque #doodle #monkey king #macaque #shadowpeach #third idea of power: creating little stars out of his hands that float around like for his shadow play or a night light for the baby monkey #cute right!? #originally I was going to write a short fanfic about Wukong having nightmares and not being able to sleep because of that Mac notices #and decides to visit Wukong in his dreams #Hong Kong wakes up in his dream within a dream to a beautiful breathtaking flower field and seeing the beautiful sky it looks super Galaxy #and Mac just pops up out of nowhere and tries to start up a conversation #at first he's like cocky and stuff and then he gets little awkward #fumbling with his words and he gets a little bit more flustered wukong is like super confused and surprise to see him here #Mac gives up on trying to talk and just attacks wukong after a while we'll come figures out he's just play fighting they pretty much #just play tag and wukong slowly he gets into it but Mac starts cheating a little bit and this Riles up The Monkey King and they're just #having a blast now and at the end of it they start talking eating a few peaches just joking around it's awkward but it's nice wukongs #grooming him and he's just feeling a whole lot better Mac wants to know what's bothering him but he feels like can wait until Monkey King #Monkey King is ready for that macaque gets up extensive hand to Wukong they try to dance #and they're both terribly out of practice they keep going until they're tumbling and laughing and will come slowly gets up #with a smile on the face and super well-rested all thanks to macaque the monkey of his dreams #seriously if anybody wants to make a fanfic about this you have my full permission I don't know I think you guys can do way better than me😫

Hi I have lost control of the week and went to jog about it 🥲

#ore no kao #good afternoon sunday afternoon #this week was tiring and thankfully sleeping in and jogging has helped lol #third afternoon jog in a row too and this one felt good #the nice weather and going in shorts probably helped along with the energy from the grouplove concert last night #now to just rest until spin 🚲 and leg day tuesday #hope good weeks were had

[hanzajesthanza]

the headcanon that regis can hang from the ceiling to sleep or rest like a bat is funny on its own, but when i consider geralt and others in the hanza holding conversations with him like this, it’s made better by my understanding of this as just an advanced “neurodivergent sitting” technique

#in an irl au i suppose he could be doing an upside down yoga pose. that would fit irl au regis well. ugh #the better headcanon is angoulême walking in their room. going ���[head nod up] cahir. where—‘ #and cahir (not looking up) points to the ceiling on the other side of the room. also in total darkness btw no candles lit on that side #i imagine that when someone else walks to their room’s door and knocks. for example let’s say dandelion for instance #dandelion’s hardly a stranger but he did that thing where your friend stops hanging out with you because they’re busy with their gf #he knocks and immediately regis is suddenly sitting in bed like a normal person . and he put his eyeglasses on and pretended to read #oh hi dandelion i didnt recognize your footsteps #my… footsteps? #this is actually kind of bullshit though because the only person more talkative than dandelion at night is regis (angouleme close third) #so if dandelion ever wanted to discuss meaning of life at 2 am i know where he would go #sorry cahir. put a pillow over your ear #the elbow-high diaries #edit: no actually he would bother geralt with this #edit edit: no actually he and geralt were ‘on a break’ (unresolved tension) so he wouldn’t. but he would want to #angoulême goes to their room too often to chill and hang out #milva goes to their room and cahir and regis stand at attention like yes ma’am. what do you need #hi milva how are things ​(your ongoing mental health crisis) #if geralt walks in starts talking with regis. cahir leaves the room. ‘im going to um. check on the horses’ #its 12 am. horses are sleeping. ? answer; he is being a considerate roommate. he had to share bunks before. he knows how It Is

I’m really hoping I don’t look this confused all the time. I took these without posing to see what I look like and now I understand why people talk to me the way they do.

#me #cute #girl #love #selfie #fashion #photo #brown hair #blue eyes #hot #I am a little bit confused at all times I won’t lie to you #it’s just that my ears refuse to work well and I miss half of what you say and then I have to piece it together but you’ve already moved on #I promise I’m not dumb I’m on my third degree #what is your first impression from these photos comment that below #I am low key curious what people think of me #that has to be an every human thing like you can’t sit there and tell me you wouldn’t want to know peoples impression of you #either that or I’m a paranoid piece of trash which is 87% likely #I’m going to smoke weed now to sleep but I hope everyone has a fantastic night/day #I also hope that your burn out goes away and you find a 20 dollar bill in your pocket #what else can I tag #pizza because I ate that today #house because I am in one in this photo #margaritas just because I’m thinking about them #I want to go dancing guys I need a fun clubbing girls night #I wanna get drunk and pretend I’m on step up

[toastedjeans]

Was in a pepstavo mood. Too lazy to finish these rn. Also trans Peppino yay

#toast doodles #pizza tower #peppino spaghetti #gustavo pizza tower #siren tower au #pepstavo #haven't drawn sharkstavo in a hot minute #context for that third one. had a thought where after gus saves pep from drowning he washes up on the beach with a big wound #and pep is on one of his evening or night strolls and recognizes him so he brings him to his home and tries to take care of him #so he tends to his wound and lets him sleep in the bathtub #idk what the wound would be from tho. maybe a harpoon. or a mistrusting siren. or both #haha I'm rambling in the tags again knowing fully well nobody reads them lol

So do you think Cassius' early experience with having to save who he could and survive Carrhea, hardened him in the same way that young Crassus was ? Is there some sort of constant cycle there ?

absolutely, it’s a whole trial by fire kind of deal, and everything in rome exists in repeating cycles. It’s all a circle, except for when it’s a mouth. and there’s actually a third one I would include in this set! in theory. to complete the narrative tragedy.

Crassus is in his thirties (like, late 20s when the ball gets rolling, but basically he’s in his 30s when things actually get going) when he rises to the occasion, cutting through bodies and paving the way for Sulla’s victories. This sets the stage for the next generation’s politics, the generation Cassius is a part of. It’s Sulla. Sulla haunts everything.

Cassius is most likely in his thirties, or enters into his thirties during Crassus’ Parthian invasion, and much like Crassus had to rise to the occasion against some pretty gnarly odds (in places), Cassius also had to rise to the occasion with even worse odds than Crassus ever had (talk about a narrative inheiritance! the book closes on Crassus and immediately looks to you to fill the space his body left), and pulled off several strategic miracles. Congrats on surviving the trial!

So

Carrhae is a traumatic disaster for Rome that haunts the subtext in a specific thread of expansionist Roman policy making, but more immediately, it fucks up the balance of power in Rome: Pompey and Caesar spin out into Civil War, Caesar stands triumphant. The dominoes continue to fall, Caesar is assassinated. Lucan’s focus on Crassus in his Pharsalia sort of nails Carrhae down as an event that has a definable Before/After in collective memory. etc.

This Sets The Stage For The Next Generation Of Roman Politics

Now, here’s the secret third one: Octavian is in his thirties when the culmination of his dynast war with Antony finally hits the climax at Actium, and this will set the stage for—

#This is actually half the reason the Cassius comic is going to be the sequel to Trikaranos #If I really wanted to commit to the theme there would be a third comic about the Octagon himself but I’m not doing that #ask tag #anyway. Cassius as a body substitute for Crassus or something. #I have a whole thing rattling around in my head about when plays cast an actor to play 2 characters #this is like if you had 2 guys playing the same role. or something #I got 3 hours of sleep last night can you tell

what are bradley’s earliest memories of ice and mav? the bits of his perspective on them that you’ve written are so fascinating

fairly unsurprising answer but: ice: when he came to see Carole to apologize for killing goose in ch 2 of wwgattai (sets the tone of their relationship)

mav: something very benign like mav doing magic tricks for him as a little little kid. you know how your earliest memories are always a little fuzzy and always afternoon sunshine? imagine a desaturated maverick sitting crosslegged in the grass in pale afternoon southern california sunshine showing Bradley how he can detach his thumb from his hand and then put it back again. no blood, no bone, no pain, and he’s got this daredevil grin like he’s enjoying separating his thumb from his hand. can’t see his eyes behind his aviators. the best magicians are the ones who can make even their pain disappear. or, playing “got your nose,” holding Bradley’s nose up so he can see it right in front of his very eyes, NO PAIN!, and then making it disappear. “where’d your nose go, Gosling? oh, my gosh, I lost your nose!! how’re you gonna smell? i bet you’re gonna smell bad. get it? get it? —here it is, i found it, don’t worry, it’s all good!” and putting his nose back so everything’s ok. that’s Bradley’s earliest memory of mav.

#Bradley’s nose (mavs thumb) is a foreshadowing metaphor for the academy here obviously #this is just my conjecture as a californian kid who was many times duped by the thumb trick myself. #You know where they screw it off and it really looks convincing #im closer to 10 years old than i am to 31 😞 ten years ago today i was at my little baseball summer camp :) in third grade #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #bradley rooster bradshaw #top gun #asks #also ive had this little scene where he drives to their house in his moms car after some late high school event #only to find ice & mav passed out on the couch together at 9:30 at night with the tv still playing #because mav had made a home between ices arms and (tired fighter pilot after long day of drills) fell asleep there and what #was ice supposed to do; wake up an exhausted American hero & push him away? no. this isn’t so bad. —and then accidentally fell asleep too. #and bradleys just standing there in his homecoming tux going ‘oh this is real. oh they really are. oh. ok i will let them sleep.’ #and sneaking back into his moms car to go to his own house for once. #i can’t find anywhere to put that scene so you’re getting it in the tags of this post

What's the best way for you to relax?

I don’t think I’ve been “relaxed” since the 90s, but I can approximate the feeling with a book and a comically large mug of tea.

#I just finished the third Stormlight Archive book last night #and then to un-unwind I played Anno 1800 until 2am #I wouldn’t want to risk accidentally getting a good night’s sleep

comfort after a nightmare cause I'm in a ✨mood✨

~

Melina: Pulls you close, kisses your cheek and hugs you tight. rubs your arm and kisses your head. Asks if you want some of her water, if should she turn on the bed light and if you'd like to talk about whatever you saw. She holds you in her hug until you fall back asleep and doesn't really move until you wake up again in the morning.

~

Ranni: Is a heavy sleeper so sometimes she won't notice, but when she does her immediate reaction is to jump out of bed to defend you, thinking someone got into the house. After she figures out it was a nightmare, she gets back in bed from your side and big spoons you with two hands over your neck and two around your waist. Gives you a little kiss on the nape and asks what happened.

~

Malenia: Turns on the bed light immediately and sits up next to you. She'll take your hand and caress it with her thumb as she asks if you're alright. After a while she'll rest her head on your chest and hug you from the side (which is not something she often does) clasping your hand. She'll fall asleep there.

~

Marika: Is groggy and it takes her a second to figure out what's happening. When she does, she hugs your shoulders and insists you tell her what happened. After you tell her, she makes a gentle joke about it and doubles down on it if you are receptive of it. If not, she just lets you rest your head on her shoulder and hold you for as long as you need.

#elden ring #melina #ranni the witch #malenia blade of miquella #queen marika the eternal #x reader #on totally unrelated news i've been having sleep paralysis bullshit for two nights straight #so that's fun #posting this tonight as a ward to magically not get it a third night in a row #btw asks are always open if you don't feel like waiting for when i get all softy and willing to bypass my embarrassment
