so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #the prison dimension is horrifying on its own #add in a monstrous being that towers over you and has vowed to ensure your suffering? #god I can’t imagine how scary that is #Mikey opening the portal was a miracle because if he hadn’t managed it there #it’s really up in the air what could have become of Leo #personally I subscribe by the theory that you straight up can’t die in the prison dimension #so it’s a prison in all ways #but the thought of a Leo who manages anyway who adapts and continues to have hope despite it all… #Leo saying he’s nothing without his family is a double edged sword really #because the thought of his family alone is all he needs to live. to hope. #to smile #nothing without them…but they’re EVERYTHING to him #and maybe he doesn’t realize it but…the feeling is mutual #one thing too is that hope that comforts Leo so much is not just that #should he think his family needs help - that hope can turn into determination #I’m unwell about this family #actually on my point of their powers - I truly do think the abilities tie in not only to their personalities #but to their relationship to family and love in general #kinda like love languages in a way #Mikey with his chains and time abilities values being around his family the most - he wants them to experience living in the moment togethe #Donnie is someone who is 100% a gift giver to show his love - his constructs are exactly that aren’t they? gifts of his mind #Raph is someone who willingly bears the weight of the shield - he protects his family like the best big brother possible #and Leo - he goes off on his own a lot but his mind is constantly on his family anyway #like a sailor at sea no matter how far he travels the compass always point in one direction - and for him that compass points home #even if he can’t make it back - it’s still there #and that’s enough

Unwell about the idea of Orin using Durge's face to keep the charade going of the Durge still being around, so Gortash doesn't get suspicious.

He does anyway because she didn't understand how real their relationship was - and she slips up. Often. He knew immediately when the Dark Urge became so, so very cold. Nothing like the warmth he has known for years now behind closed doors; because it isn't them.

She is good at fine details of the body; she gets every scar, every little blemish perfectly, but she can never truly imitate the person behind the Urge.

She couldn't have hoped to anyway, because she didn't know who they really were. Only Gortash could, because he is the first to ask.

It surprises her, and infuriates her, even! The mighty Dark Urge, debased into some lovesick puppy yearning after this little Lordling!

And the mistakes that follow are how Gortash learns the Dark Urge is gone.

#bg3 #durgetash #I'm obsessed with the scene where she wears the player's face and it won't leave me like heLLO LARIAN? #I know it's a popular hc that Orin probably wore durge's face to taunt Gortash but I just think she probably did it to keep the charade up- #-until she took hold of everything. and gortash was going to be kept in the dark as long as possible until she could figure out what was- #-going to be inherited from her dear sibling! #I once again have to add I plan to write Orin wearing Veren's face to piss Ketheric off too lmfao. I wonder if the Netherbrain ever saw it- #-too honestly; just Orin parading her sibling's skin around while mocking him relentlessly. chef kiss #Gortash being mortified and then even worse when the REAL Durge walks back in but it's just like Orin again but worse. #Worse because it's really them this time #but there's no weak imitation. it's just. an empty shell.

I'm not including a situation where someone might be injured because in that case I'm thinking the bed goes to them by default or they are nominated for it. anyone who wants to be chatty goes to join the living room floor gang.

What are your thoughts and headcanons? Do you have thoughts on how the boys tend to approach assigning beds in inns? Who do the chain choose to sleep near when camping and why? What are their dynamics like when settling down for the night and getting ready for the day?

In "Mirror Vs Open Closet Door: Fight!" by Gintrinsic (here) Four refers to the chain's decision on how to split up between inn rooms as the "Link-per-room ratio" which I find very funny. He, Sky, and Time also talk about their thought process behind why they do or don't want to sleep in a room with some of the others which I find fun and interesting.

So! If you have thoughts and want to share them! *gestures to the post!*

#linked universe #linkeduniverse #alrighty! now for my answers- #for the ranch question I think it varies which is why I'm asking in a poll. What do you think happens most often though? #each answer is a fun scenario so it's difficult to choose #but I think they'd try to act politely around Malon and Time for the first couple visits with straws or rock paper scissors #or showing generosity by offering the bed to someone else. (I bet Malon saying they're charming is quite the incentive #for more possible compliments. The chain as a whole would want to prove her right xD ) #Once they're more comfortable in the house though I can totally see Wind and Legend making a mad dash for it while Wars yells after them xD #Wind probably ends up sharing with Four a lot since they're the littles #or Wind snuggles in with Wars Legend Wild etc #Wild and Twi/Wolfie have claimed the spot on the floor by the fireplace. #For inn rooms / castle rooms / camping - I tend to group them by how they're grouped a lot already #but a lil mixed up #Time - Sky - Wars are the good rest trio. they want a good night's rest please let them get their beauty sleep. often joined by Four #Wars goes between this group and wherever Legend is depending on how chatty he is that night. #Twi - Wild - Hyrule are snuggle/proximity buddies #Legend is attached to Hyrule's hip or sets up near Warriors to gossip and gripe. I can also see him setting up near Wild #in the eye of the storm as it were or just an interesting place to be. Wild and Hyrule can get to chatting about everything and anything #so if Legend wants background noise (Hyrule and Wild podcast omg)- #or a conversation he can be half a part of and jump in and out of while getting ready for the night or in the mornings- #this is a good place to be. add Wind and things get a bit more chaotic. #Wind gravitates to Wars and Legend too when curious and chatty. He gravitates towards Time when he wants something calmer. #Four tends to be near Sky or Twi or to Legend's group for the same reasons #I can see Four and Twi having a little book club going during downtimes where they talk about what they're reading. Sky likes to listen. <3 #Wind thinks they're nerds but so is he and he can't resist a good story so he orbits and sometimes settles in and peppers questions. #it's funny that Time Sky and Wars want to sleep the most but Legend follows Wars to chat (and ends up bringing people with him xD ) #there could be some conflict there oooo #Twi is by Time #it's almost a circle but with clusters of sleeping bags near on top of each other and filling the gaps

you guys ever think about how sparda and eva were probably prepared for eva to die before sparda not the other way around. coming to terms with death and having to leave loved ones behind is par for the course when you settle down with an immortal being, but they never thought about the possibility of sparda being the first to die until he doesnt return.

#giggles #they make me irrationally sad for two characters that we truly know so little about #reigning champs of haunting the narrative #i have so much hw to do and im thinking about my blorbos instead #this is the life #dmc eva #dmc sparda #dmc #devil may cry #kinda like a kid who never realizes they can get hurt until something terrible happens #sparda was able to defeat mundus and sever hell from the overworld! what could possibly take him out now? #then a week passes and doubt sets in #also they fact that dante and vergil were so young when it happened // #// which adds the extra stressor of ‘how do i explain death to two children’ and then follow it up with ‘thats what happened to your father’ #shut up cj

so for those who have been following our chronicles of Holy Fuck Not A Week Has Gone By Without Something Going Terribly Wrong, we had a pipe burst which cost $2300 to fix and handle the water damage before mold set in, and then the plumber found another corroded pipe and pressure problems that will be $1400 to fix to make sure this doesn't happen again in a month. at this point I'm just flat-out not going to make it through the summer without some serious help. 

(for those of you who have not: I am the sole reliable source of income in my household, my previous job broke the contract it negotiated with the union resulting in us not getting thousands of dollars of backpay we contractually should have and a class action lawsuit there will take years, we ran into $5000 unexpected extra moving costs, and my beloved 18-year-old cat nearly died last month resulting in $3600 vet bills. before. you know. a pipe burst last week.) 

we never filled up the ko-fi fundraiser goal from last year, which is pinned here: https://ko-fi.com/savrenim. any help would be VASTLY appreciated. I'm fairly certain if I make that goal and manage to negotiate for more overtime at my current job I'll be able to make it through the summer. any bit helps.

I've also got a patreon https://www.patreon.com/savrenim although that's going to be a bit choppy with respect to what I usually try to do monthly there just given my mental health right now and everything I'm trying to juggle. If you're interested in my writing, I'm going to try to throw together some of the stuff I already have to try to self-publish an original novel before summer as one last hail mary.

#my life #mutual aid #signal boost #if possible #I have spent months trying to hold back from making this exact post but like #we are so far in the red right now that it is not funny #and we KNOW that we have electrical problems upstairs and haven't even gotten a quote on what that looks like for fixing #I am at the end of my fucking rope #we have been SO CAREFUL #I HAVE NOT TAKEN A SINGLE DAY OFF IN EIGHT MONTHS #WE PLANNED FOR SOME EMERGENCIES #AND OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS BETWEEN EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED #AND THE BACKPAY WE ARE JUST NEVER GOING TO SEE #ADDS UP TO $20 000 #LEGITIMATELY DO NOT KNOW HOW THE FUCK I WAS SUPPOSED TO PREPARE FOR $20K #OR WHAT ELSE I COULD HAVE DONE

Any scene in Enola Holmes 2 where Enola and Sherlock or Enola and Tewkesbury interact with each other was so enjoyable. I really appreciate that Enola and Tewkesbury didn’t have some petty argument at the beginning of the film that erased their relationship from the first film and set them back to square one. There didn’t seem to be any unnecessary conflict between the characters; they actually used and built upon the relationships established by the end of the first film.

#enola holmes #enola holmes 2 #tewkesbury #tewksbury #holmesbury #lord tewkesbury #viscount tewkesbury #lord tewksbury #There are moments in the film where it would have been so easy to insert miscommunication or petty jealousy #but in this one the characters are intelligent and trusting and also aware of the possibility that they could both like each other #instead of some moment where miscommunication happens to delay them from solving the case too quickly #the characters communicate and then solve the case and then find out there's another aspect of that case that they now have to solve #it adds to the atmosphere when they're interacting #it makes it really enjoyable to watch #twilight-zoned-out #watched it a week-ish ago #I want to rewatch it soon to watch it more in depth #but from what I remember their conflicts in the film were not with each other but with the actual case #and the conflicts with each other they did have didn't completely erase their friendship #I hope this makes sense #enola holmes 2 review #sort of

Tease Tidbit Tuesday!

I was tagged by @honestlydarkprincess @wikiangela @wildlife4life @disasterbuckdiaz @captain-hen thank you!!!

Okay so, I'm trying to finish my Eddie Begins missing scene fic this week since the ep is on the list this week for the rewatch but unfortunately, like everything I tried to write ever, this seems to have escaped my control. Have a bit of it tho. prev snippet here.

Eddie is not alone for long though, Buck is walking in soon after, fisting the ends of the sleeves of his LAFD hoodie, hair looking like he's been running his hands through it, eyes a bit wild as he takes in the IV and monitor Eddie is hooked up to. "Are you still out of it?" Buck asks, voice hoarse as he steps closer to the bed.  "I don't think so," Eddie says, words scratching his throat and he watches as Buck's shoulders relax as he drops into the chair next to him.  "That was too close, man."  "I know," Eddie says, turning his head on the pillow so he can look at Buck more comfortably. "How you feeling?" Buck asks, placing his hand on top of Eddie's, rubbing his thumb over it in a way that makes Eddie wonder if he even realizes he's doing it.  "Cold," he says and Buck chuckles a bit breathlessly. "That does tend to be a side effect of hypothermia," he says, the small smile on his lips making his whole face soften into an expression Eddie can only describe as fond. It weirdly makes him want to keep looking at him.

Wait, people think Perrin is related to Irida? I don’t see one design element, or physical feature that in any way resembles her?? In fact in game she only ever makes references to the Diamond Clan, and the concept of time? Her team only references Adaman, with Leafeon being a direct reference to his, and Noctowl referencing both the Diamond Clan and Adaman’s reverence of time? Even her Growlithe friend is a reference to her own name and homeland with Growlithe being a Hisuian rock type and Perrin’s name literally meaning rock and being of Hisuian heritage??

Actually, if she is intended to be related to Irida I’d be kind of upset, because I think that Irida deserves a character that physically resembles her and actually references her in some way? Not one use of Pearl clan imagery, no physical features, no cute team reference and no dialogue any way directly linking the two? Not fair. Irida deserves better

#I’m actually confused without more information I can’t see this at all?? #I mean I could see the two being paired up with each other because that’s what media does right? pairs the main guy and girl up regardless #of if they even like each other or not #which Adman and Irida literally don’t #I mean I guesss we just see a small section of their lives and I guess their relationship could develop? #but without any more information we just have to go off of canon where the two deeply clash and only really learn to tolerate one another #never explicitly becoming friends #I suppose they could add more information in a later game making any possible intended connection between the two even a little obvious? #but until that happens I can’t see this at all #Melli speaks

Worst crocodile theory is that crocodile has like a dead sister who is the reason he had all the weird ties he does. Luffy? Oh thats not his son that’s his nephew. Ivankov? Oh crocodile isn’t trans his *sister* was trans (yknow before she died) and he’s either protecting her secret or the secret that he has a dead sister (and thus a vulnerability). Weird pseudo trust in robin? Oh she reminds him of his dead sister the only person he ever trusted. Missing arm? Lost it trying to save/being saved by his dead sister. Doesn’t use haki? Sister did. Hates the government? Fucked over his sister (killed her to spite Dragon maybe?) The bananawani? Actually belong to his dead sister. Baby crocodile looks androgynous? — twist is that he and his sister were identical twins! (Would be absolutely hilarious if they did this and managed to parallel and invert the trans zoro HC. Flashback of crocodile’s egg sister talking about how much if SUCKS theyre going to grow up to be men because men are worse than women at X. And its the little cis boy this time around explaining why thats stupid)

The big twist is crocodile is actually kind of boring but he had a sister who was super interesting but shes also super dead.

DON'T REMIND ME OF THE DEAD SISTER-CROWD

#I'm joking I would never strangle you #Asks #OP Meta #For real though #Yeah they just want Crocodile to have a sister who was a much more interesting character for no reason #I just don't like theories that're based on inventing new characters to explain shit when the shit could just tie to character(s) we know #Like it literally just adds so much more work and effort to try and make a theory work when it could just be straight forward and simple #LITERAL MENTAL GYMNASTICS #To be fair it is both good and fun to speculate about other alternative possibilities and theories and what not #Even if some have less ground to stand on or require more mental gymnastics #Wild Speculation IS fun #It's just sad when you have a theory that SO BLATANTLY *only exists* to try and make sure a character doesn't turn out to be queer

Hrmm... put together a roommates quiz finally after years of thinking it would be an interesting idea lol.. Though obviously not meant to be taken super seriously, I just like thinking about this aspect of personality compatibility. Like yeah, maybe you could get along with someone just chatting with them, but living together is such a different thing. .. curiouse...

#Not that I think that many people would really care since I barely know anyone on tumblr in real life and would never live with random #internet strangers lol but... idk.. I made this to give to friends from time to time and thought... why not post it here too #just out of sheer curiosity if anyone takes it what the most common results would be and etc. #My initial assumption is that most people would probably fall into the 'maybe' category and that either extreme of 'best roomates' #and 'worst roomates' would be the least common #very long also since I like to be thorough I guess #THOUGH... upon second thought... tumblr is home of the like Weird Introverts Who Sit Inside All The Time.. so maybe it's more #likely to come across compatible poeple on here. given that many of the questions are about how meticulous #people are with their scehdules or how often they invite friends over or if they like to mostly stay inside etc. #(since personally I think having a roommate coming and going and bringing random people over all the time would be too chaotic #lol... I need a peaceful quiet household) #Also I kind of don't like the way uquiz seems to do results. I was hoping it would be a number tally? I used some sort of quiz making site #before where you weight the question responses with a number (so the 'Best' response is worth a 0 #The worst is worth like 5 points. and all the in between are like 1 - 4 points or something). So then it is actually possible to have a #''perfect score'' category (someone who gets a literal 0 points). and also you could weight some EXTREMELY bad answers #to add like +10 to the score instead of just +5. And someone who got the MAX possible points would be the WORST compatibility. etc. #But uquiz seems to just be like ''which category did you score towards the MOST'. So someone can give some pretty bad answers #that are VERY non compatible. but as long as MOST of their answers landed in a 'compatible' category #then they would still be listed as compatible despite still actually having some dealbreakers in there. Which is also possible with the #'every answer is a number amount' ranking system too. but I feel like that one does allow for a little more customization #and accuracy (like making the dealbreakers add like...+40 to the score or something so that #there's basically NO way that someone could answer with one of those and still get a good score. Or the ability to have a literal #'perfect score' (getting a zero) etc. #BUt anyway lol... inchresting.. inchresting... curious to consider maybe making a uquiz #for the characters in the gameI'm making like.. which npc are you type quiz or something #now that I've made one and seen how it works.. hrmm hrmm.... #(< game will not even be done for like another year but still thinking about nonsense like this lol)

[general-cyno]

Despite how wildly Elendira was changed as a character in tristamp she's just. so fascinating to me both bc of her existence as a whole (a human/plant hybrid of sorts that Nai, despite his hatred for humans, for some reason has allowed to exist) and the idea of her being an honest, childish reflection of Nai himself.

There is absolutely no way that Elendira's disdain for humans isn't something she learned from him. And when you compare their expressions and behavior - they are just so painfully similar. From the way their emotions shift so quickly from one to another to how they show so clearly on their faces/bodies,

And how the only way to somewhat (poorly) mask themselves is to physically shift away and hide - which they both do in front of Vash specifically.

On that note, Elendira's reaction to physical pain is very interesting to me too in how it contrasts with Nai's. Whereas she throws a tantrum and cries out about how much it hurts, physical pain does very little for Nai (outwardly, that is) as shown in eps 3 and 12. Even as Vash tries to shoot down his blades or as Nai burns himself alive along the fire of Vash's angel arm, it is the emotional aspect (Vash's rejection) which actually hurts him. It can be heard in his voice or seen in his face and still, he tries to hide that too behind a smile or laugh that always seems awfully close to crying or sobbing.

Ig what I'm trying to point at is Elendira - as a metaphorical and literal reflection of him, since she's implied to be a clone, kinda - being able to voice and act out all the reactions to pain, physical and emotional, that Nai usually doesn't allow himself to show.

Extra interesting to me that she immediately labels Vash a traitor and cries harder when she mentions Nai and how Vash doesn't know.

I think a more literal tl of this bit is something along the lines of "it's your fault that lord Knives -", regardless... what is it that Vash doesn't know or that he's at fault for? Is she echoing Nai's pain, his loneliness? Why does she feel it so deeply?

And did Vash realize? What she is and where she comes from, or why she exists? Is that why he looked so sad at the sight of her? Did he see part of his brother in her too? Did Nai as a kid ever cry like that?

#I know some ppl have theorized all the children-clone experiments could be a way to bring back tessla #and/or he gave elendira tessla's other eye bc of it buuuut im not entirely convinced of that for a bunch of reasons #anyway what I meant to say is elendira's blue eye is v similar to vash's too; not just tessla's #tho her hair is seemingly the same shade as nai's #I wonder if part of nai saw them both - tessla and vash - in her and if that's partly why she's allowed to live #the implication that he either talks abt vash to her or has at least allowed her to see some of his more vulnerable sides is #insane actually #im extremely curious abt their possible relationship and (hopefully) future interactions #conrad mentions smth along the lines of her being neither human nor plant but imo judging by her calling vash a traitor #and her disdain for humans; it seems she actually identifies as more plant-like #interesting really #I hope she gets to kick ass tho her getting shot down like that was criminal #tp #on a less angsty note it's lowkey cute that she got nai's :3 smile #couldn't add the comparison bc of image limits but yeah #she's so daughter slash clone slash sister coded

[system-architect]

thinking about the mlm and transmasc rep situation again and i think the thing that gets me about it is how exceedingly easy and completely inconsequential it would be for a single writer to just sprinkle in a bit of rep. like a bulk of the queer rep we already have is via random npc dialogue out in city maps or festivals or something and is not even voice acted. you literally have to change NOTHING and dont even need to pay for extra voice lines to just change a single pronoun or word in some npc's pop-up text from "girlfriend" to "boyfriend". this is not a replacement for centered, featured representation with actually memorable chararacters played by queer actors or so on, but it'd be SOMETHING and it's amazing in a sad way that we have like actually nothing right now

#my stuff #sorry this is one of the very few gw2 things i still start getting a little tilted about #they should make chul-moo gay i think. #he has kind of a Quality to him #edit: forgot my train of thought hang on #i forgot to say that part of why this would be so easy is that its how this happened in the past #sya was added to the game by a dev named teddy who im unsure if she still works at anet anymore #(im unsure if she still goes by teddy but thats what i remember her by so) #teddy herself is a trans woman and wrote in sya when she was assigned to add npcs to the new lions arch #teddy worked on a number of areas of the game over the years and she was ALSO responsible for the onscreen kasjory kiss #(and also for making raids work. which isnt lgbt but like good for her) #so it was this one dev who was trans and iirc gay? maybe? who took it upon herself to add the rep she wanted to see #which is so fantastic and i just wish like #that we could get More Of That #its possible that anet doesnt have mlm or transmasc writers atm but i feel Doubt about that #i think a lot of it has to do with games still being a 'boys space' and making mlm rep a hard sell #its sad
