How would dipper propose to bill? -without any devious intentions, just pure love 😍
He'd absolutely overthink it to hell and back.
We're talking making notes and charts and a list of Everything That Must Go Right for the Perfect Setup. He's made a list of seventy-three options and eliminated half of them. He's fussed over the ring and has three different options stored in his sock drawer, one in the bottle of shower gel Bill doesn't use, and one up in the rafters. There's an excel file with probabilities for weather and temperature and the mood Bill might be in at that exact moment.
Of course, all these things completely fall apart in the most chaotic manner possible, with a high chance of 'near-death experience' to boot.
Dipper ends up blurting out 'Marry me' after the battle, seizing Bill's hand while his own are all sticky with the blood of their enemies and the survivors groan in anguish in the obliterated wreckage. And it's the most romantic proposal Bill could ever ask for.
#answers#It only makes sense that a Chaotic and Impulsive proposal is the one that gets Bill's heart all a-flutter#Not something you can Plan for unfortunately#Sure Bill would have accepted if it was some hoity-toity meticulously planned thing#But this is SO much better. Lightyears more romantic!#The setting sun the color of the blood they spilled! The defeat of their enemies and the way this added insult to their injury!#The way that the person who ACTUALLY came close to killing either of them was each other after they started arguing mid-fight#Only to collapse back together in mutual frustrated lust/rage/love for a passionate kiss!#My word Bill does declare he nearly got the vapors#Dipper nearly had him swooning there for a second! Pretty decent attempt but no dice this time!

Normally, traitors aren’t frog-marched to the Emperors themselves, regardless of what rank of information they had. These aren’t normal circumstances, though, Techno bemoans to himself. For one, the man is refusing to speak anything but French and a tiny amount of broken Bayesh. For another, on being made, he immediately handed over about three folders of classified information then loudly waited for handcuffs to be put on him.
Phil is lounging in his throne; he’d never been one for propriety. This leaves Techno to be, uh, the actually serious one. The one adorned in uniform, sitting and glowering down. It’s lucky that the traitor isn’t a pigman, because Techno isn’t actually great at glowering, but humans are weird about pigman facial expressions so he should be fine?
The traitor stands before them and grins. In perfect Bayesh, he says: “Finally. It took way too long for you to catch me, bitch.”
Techno pauses. He stares. In Piglish, he barks to his guards: “Everyone out. It’s Leader business.”
They file out. They’ll be waiting outside. Phil straightens in his seat and reaches for his own sword.
Techno, laboriously, drags his hand across his face. He switches back to Bayesh. God, does he regret being fluent in multiple languages sometimes. “What are you doing here, Tommy.”
“Showing you your intelligence weak points, fucker. Do you know how easy it is to slip Bayesh spies in here? I was smooth. A smooth customer. I was hearing classified milkitary secrets—”
“You were caught within two hours,” Techno says.
“That’s—that’s just what you think, innit?” Tommy says. Phil laughs. He’s the real traitor here.
“Tommy. I don’t wanna have to cause an international incident, but I’ve had a really long day, so if you just tell me who hired you to run a spy op, and why you decided it was a good idea to run it yourself, instead of sending one of your experts…”
“No one,” Tommy says.
“Hey, don’t lie you little shit. Techno might not want to start an incident but I don’t care,” Phil says. He grins and holds up his sword. “You wanna wake up in a jail cell and reveal some secrets? We may all be Leaders but it won’t stop torture from hurting.”
“What the fuck, Phil,” Tommy says.
“No one’s torturing anyone. We’ll just bomb them later if we must,” Techno says.
“And I wasn’t lying. It’s—can I take the wig off by the way? It fucking itches.”
“I despise you.”
Tommy takes off the black wig, revealing his blonde hair. “Anyway, I don’t want to work with you guys either, so I figured I’d get your attention by like, acting like we’re enemies and stuff. Got hired for espionage enough back in the day to pick up that much.”
“Who the fuck wanted you as a spy?” Phil asks.
“Fuck you,” Tommy says and doesn’t elaborate.
“Please just tell us what you want,” Techno says. “Please. I can’t handle this much you at any given time.”
“This needs to be Leader to Leader,” Tommy says, and something heavy laces his words. The hairs on Techno’s arms stand up.
“You coulda asked,” he says, in one final desperate bid for normality.
“No, I couldn’t have,” Tommy says. “I think Chip’s dead.”
Techno doesn’t notice that he’s standing until he is.
“What?”
“Yeah,” Tommy says. “Yeah. And, uh, I fucking. Need your help to figure out what happened. Before we get blamed. And I know, politically, you’ve got no reason, but if we don’t figure out—”
Techno sits back down, heavy.
“I know you understand Piglish. Let me talk in my native language. Phil.”
“Yeah, mate?”
“Go get the stuff.”
Phil’s eyes darken. “Right. That. Well, I’ll be back.”
Tommy’s voice, for the first time since Techno met him as a newly-minted Leader, standing on a wooden bench and yelling about executions, is small.
“You believe me?” he says.
“Why else would you come here?” Techno asks. “Not like we like you.”
“Good, because I’m shit at infiltrations. Would have been embarrassing if you, like, didn’t know your enemy well enough to know that,” Tommy says. He’s saying something else underneath it. Techno is neither good enough at Bayesh or at Tommy to guess what.
“Let’s work out an excuse to make a treaty. And you tell me everything.”
#smp earth#WELL THAT'S A TAG I HAVEN'T HAD TO USE IN A WHILE.#a bee fic#anyway have you ever had to excise a story hook that's appeared in your head?#anyway: in which business bay gets framed for murdering chip and unfortunately as much as tommy would like the notoriety#he can't afford to let a guy who could kill chip just run around. also no one believes him.#so he goes to the antarctic empire hoping to ruffle enough feathers to at least get them out of the way#and technoblade immediately goes 'oh god something that incredibly stupid WOULD happen to you. oh no.'#AND THEN THEY ARE FORCED TO WORK TOGETHER TO CATCH THE GODKILLER#for the record. i probably won't write this.#if you're in a certain server with me please ignore how much i've been going 'but i COULD write bedrock bros' recently i PROBABLY WONT#anyway. i thought maybe you all would like this. the worldbuilding is like. ADJACENT to empires earth? with a lot of months in-between#like it definitely has influences from when i was doing the empires earth stuff.

something that I feel like is ignored by everyone in the fandom is how lionblaze didn’t even mean to kill russetfur. he was trying to get her of off firestar, who she was killing, and she wouldn’t let go so he pulled harder and she broke. i haven’t read the books in a good few years but I remember that he was horrified. yeah, battling is their whole culture, and cats inevitably die from it, but everyone saw him as a monster for something he didn’t even mean to do. honestly, I feel like he would’ve been justified in scratching flametail up a bit when he walked over the border and started taunting him. medicine cats must also follow the warrior code, which means no trespassing
another thing is that everyone gives him crap for like. imagining himself killing heathertail even though they were definitely intrusive thoughts and he was clearly upset about them. as someone with intrusive thoughts myself it’s pretty disheartening to see people talk about how that makes him an obviously bad person (cat?)
i want people to acknowledge that he’s scared by his own strength, that he’s scared he’ll hurt those he cares about, and that he was very much struggling after accidentally killing russetfur. yes, he’s really not that good of a character, but he still has internal conflicts and a personal story, and after a certain point he just sees himself as a war machine, something to be used for the good of the clan, no matter how he feels about it
ShadowClan's hypocrisy in that battle always frustrated me in general. At various points in TNP, Po3, AND OotS, ShadowClan openly and flagrantly disrespects the code and attacks over this border constantly. Then the minute ThunderClan retaliates at all, suddenly they have to hand-wring about how sad it is that it came down to this
Russetfur can kill whoever she wants but Lionblaze defending his leader? That's just too far I guess. Like what happened to the goddamn Battle Culture? These pansies would never survive a battle for Sunningrocks.
I remember being a kid and wanting this battle for SEVERAL books, and then getting to this battle and... honestly I can't really remember much after it. It probably actually made me ragequit lmao. I definitely did not get to Flametail's death.
Bonefall Lionblaze
Anyway I spoke about the fight from a Bonefall Rewrite lens a couple days ago if you'd like to see that, including how I want Lionblaze to take away how he feels like Bramblestar used him as a war machine, Dovepaw thinks it's ironic he resents the very thing he's doing to her, and also what the political ramifications will be in ThunderClan (mixed but neutral).
In addition this battle is now going to actually be something that Bramblestar could have avoided. Firestar is dead by the end of Po3, so there's no need for false signs anymore. Bramble just throws his weight around; ShadowClan doesn't act like the hypocrites they are in-canon either.
As for Lionblaze, he is getting a full character arc in Po3! The climax of it is during the reworked Tribe Visit, where the Clan cats help to remove Flick's rogues. Lionblaze learns a lesson too well; that the point of strength is to use it to protect others, and the mindset causes him to shove his daughters Ivypool and Dovewing into harm's way.
Though I'm also working out how much of Lionblaze being terrified of his powers is staying, and what it will look like. I think a problem with canon is that so much of it really gets lost... because he DOES become a short-fused, impulsive war machine after OotS.
In-canon he almost mauls Heathertail, DOES maul Crowfeather, kills Russetfur, takes a life from Harestar, and infamously threatens Shadowsight... and only one of these actions was accidental.
In my rewrite I'm actually MASSIVELY mitigating this by removing the mauling and giving that to Hollyleaf... and I'm considering what sort of person he's going to be post-OotS as well, if threatening what is now his GRANDSON (father of dovewing) is actually something Bonefall Lionblaze would do.
But... I do try to hold close to canon. So the question comes down to;
Keep the earlier material where he is grappling with intrusive thoughts, and write a less violent character in future arcs
Eliminate the intrusive thoughts so that his later, current canonical personality isn't bad rep.
I am leaning more heavily towards eliminating the intrusive thoughts, in this situation. I value my portrayals of neurodivergency and I am feeling that the way I plan to write this character (pro-war, assertive, being feared by other Clans) would make for really bad implications if he was also dealing with intrusive thoughts, and not just standard legitimate "oh god i cant control my own strength" thoughts.
I'm still unsure though. Let me know what you think I should do in this situation. I can elaborate if more context is needed.
Canon Lionblaze and bad mental health rep
in-canon, the problem is Lionblaze doesn't just have intrusive thoughts that terrify him and he desperately avoids- he has violent, impulsive actions to match and is a legitimate danger to the people who anger him, before and after losing his powers.
(the 'after' is important because this is not only a result of magic powers)
Squirrel it away under canon's horrible representation of mental illness; the only character that has ever had intrusive thoughts in canon is "holding back impulses" he acts on with increasing frequency. It is a very problematic concept to begin with.
For those who don't know; Intrusive thoughts are unwanted by definition.
An intrusive thought is the worst possible thing your mind can conjure up in that moment and are very upsetting to experience. Whims are not intrusive thoughts. They're common with anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD; and it is extremely rare (and a sign of a BIG problem) that they are ever acted on.
To be clear though... Lionblaze has not had an intrusive thought that we know of since OotS. After worrying that he would hurt Cinderheart, but then cat-marrying her... it seems like they've just gone away.
It could be that we aren't in his POV anymore, or, it could be that they've abandoned this aspect of the character. Considering that TBC Lionblaze has ended up changing into a character that is a lot more violent and impulsive, it seems to be the second option.
#Lionblaze#Warrior Cats Analysis#neurodivergence#intrusive thoughts#mental health#Re: I am not sure what to do with it.#I agree with your sentiment though#I feel like Lionblaze is a super messy character#And it's really easy to go with the person that he IS now since his kill count doubled#and he's now established as a short-tempered authority figure#One that Jayfeather even describes as impulsive#and the unfortunate thing is... they really did not write a very good character when he HAD those thoughts#He was a very standard kind of 'lonely boy YA protag who is scared of his super strength'#the character they are writing now is infinitely more helpful for clan dynamics#even for my rewrite between Fernsong and Flipclaw there's going to be plenty of gentle boys in the Clan#A softer Lionblaze would overlap a lot with them... but a violent Lionblaze stands out in an overall quite gentle clan#I hope this is making sense btw

why isn't demily a more popular ship? I swear they were like the most "almost a couple" characters on CM
I think because both of them are shipped with other characters more (Emily with Hotch or JJ & Morgan with Reid or Garcia). I ALSO agree that they were the most "almost a couple" characters on the show and I have Evidence™
•the s2 deleted scene where they were considering starting a romance arc between Morgan and Prentiss. when Reid bugged him about it he didn't say he wasn't attracted to her, he said she wouldn't be attracted to him 👀
•the EW interview where MGG said that "Morgan takes it as her boyfriend in a sense" about the events in Lauren
•the s7 CM_SetReport chat after the finale where producer Rick Dunkle joked about them sleeping together after JJ's wedding and having an oops baby
•in the same chat showrunner Erica Messer also said Emily has always had "something extra" with Morgan and that he's her partner (always found that interesting considering they're a team)
•how Emily's 2 boyfriends on the show shared uncannily similar physical features to Morgan, specifically Andrew (so we know that's her type in men)
Anyway, in short, we were ROBBED.
#also evidence: the s3 deleted scene where he called her princess and she didn't immediately kill him like she would any other man#I am still adamant that they banged at least once (if not all of s6-7) and there's nothing you can do to convince me otherwise#I also ship them in a way where it's doomed to not work out but they had something really profound for awhile#their stars are unfortunately crossed but they had an intense Thing for awhile 🥹#demily#Emily Prentiss#Derek Morgan#anon I dug up very old receipts for this lol#the Rick Dunkle quote had people going nuts back when that chat came out (for good reason)

listen i know full well that a cabin air filter costs like 20$ and ten minutes of installation time, and that the dealership charging 109$ is A Bit Much but i still like to call husband to ask him what he thinks because he once worked as a mechanic and he likes getting to tell me that's a terrible deal and he could do it for me AND do the engine air filter and i don't need some dealership to do it for me because he!!! will do it!!!!
anyways then he went to the car parts store and came back with the filters and also a birthday present for my brother?????
#the love of my life#unfortunately tho i'm still going to kill him because he had the N E R V E#to come home and tell me sean from work says there's an app for the hra account#I TOLD YOU THAT!!! I DID!!! ME!!!!!#AND IT DOESN'T MATTER BEACUSE YOU ENVER SIGNED UP FOR AN ACCOUNT INT HE FIRST PLACE#YOU STILL HAVE TO CALL THEM#so farewell to him#i already went halves on a MILWAUKEE TOWER LIGHT with my parents for brother's bday#but husband was delighted by these angled needle nose pliers#so there you go

can i say something?
The fact that sam is not focused on in the later seasons is actually fucking amazing if we consider the alternative to be what happened to dean.. which was character assassination if anything.
#like?? look at sam in season 1 and then look at sam in season 14 and you will find such a fucking hard fought patience and kindness#look at dean in season 1 and dean in season 14 and younger dean would've fucking killed himself#spn#and if we view this narrative as a horror narrative then sure#deans character development is great#but the last 10 seasons do not read like that's what the writers were going for so#i dont think we can give them credit#anyways im not trying to vague someone here i just dont want to be rude on your post!#i respect your opinion and you have every right to be disappointed in sams lack of character development#i am too#but honestly when seasons 14-15 were airing#i came to this conclusion#which is that sam fans fucking /won/ bc our character had yknow actual positive development#and then he stagnated#while dean#... god.. just. fuck#unfortunate#lea speaks#this comes from a place of love for dean too bc it really makes me disappointed to look at his arc on whole#like poor dude would've thrown himself off a cliff if he saw how he treated sam in the late seasons#or cas#or jack#sorry for the insane rambling

ur tags on that kenjaku post… oh my god you saw that too? i was truly horrified
YEAH… I saw that shit, I hate stsg so much lmfaooo. It’s so obvious that they want Getou to be the “girl,” so badly. He’s getting the treatment of every dark haired best friend in a popular shounen 🚶🏾♀️. He’s too good of a character for this!
#I don’t really hate it fr but I’ve never been too crazy over it at all like the I don’t feel too strongly for it but I like some of the art#that I come across and all that and I’d prob draw it myself one of these days but the fans make me want to turn the other way most of the#time#they just hit getou with the girl beam and it’s unfortunately become like another case of fans acting like fanon is canon when regarding the#ship and the mischaracterizations of getou’s character has been insane#I feel like.. what’s the point of liking a ship if you don’t like the characters at all because this is how I feel whenever I see most stsg#fan content if I’m being real#they even draw him shorter on purpose just because they want him to be that girl it’s so stupid to me sorry#and he’s always being abused in fan content and now im even thinking about that one doujin where he was being assaulted by kenjaku and#forced to bare his children only for Kenny to kill the kids immediately after birth…? and then Gojo somehow saved him and at that point#getou had become obsessed with sex and it ended with gojo committing a murder sui#man what the fuck ever#I will save getou he’s so cool and doesn’t deserve THIS#and if you’ve noticed anything about them ship wise then like#I hope I’m not the only one who’s found it odd how most stsg is always weird and fucked up vs gego being mostly lighthearted???

Using this template I present: Vincent's profile! His biography is a shortened, more canon-compliant version of the backstory he has in my own personal writing. For the profile picture I used this avatar maker. If I could I'd draw him myself but I can't really draw anything that isn't cat or dragon-adjacent lmao so this is the best I can do.
#also yes his horse is indeed a unicorn#if he can keep dinosaurs in his chicken coop he can ride a unicorn#kudos to you if you recognize her name#why does he hate combat you may be wondering#mostly bc he is not a fan of killing things#unfortunately if he wants to explore the mines he has to do a little monster killing#he was also quite shy at first and had to work up the courage to make friends#his aunt was an alcoholic so he had some Difficulty with Pam and Shane but ultimately his sense of empathy beat his anxiety#also hes quite self conscious abt his scars and usually covers them bc it's easier than having ppl ask abt them#also he is utterly terrified of cutting his hair thanks for that aunt constance you suck#also also just to clarify she wasnt abusive in a basic tragic backstory way its a lot more complex#this profile just didnt have a lot of space but i swear i have so much more written for her and vincent in my google drive#stardew valley#sdv#stardew#stardew farmer#sdv farmer#stardew valley farmer#my post

more monkey thoughts. Dont look at me im just trying to explain/figure out More reasons why they (moreso LEMH) make me go crazy (again)
OKAY Full disclosure. this was spurred by some posts ive seen floating around and they are Objectively correct and i agree with them, but the wordage they use is what bothers me and makes me think--its about the general and growing frustration and dismay over LEMH's portrayal and like... increased Importance in LMK, at the expense of like, literally all the other characters new and old.
Again, objectively that is INCREDIBLY true and i feel it 200%!!!! Its frustrating because they just yoinked aspects of SWK's relationships with characters like DBK from the original JTTW and Shoved them on LEMH like theyre Tropes that can be shifted around without consequence--it seems fine and interesting when you first watch LMK with no context or background knowledge, but after knowing what his ACTUAL deal was in the book, looking back on LMK makes what they are doing with LEMH feel lazy and Genuinely poorly researched, rather than an intentional divergence from the original story--because as a general rule of thumb, even if the fans dont Like what you changed, you still want the things in your story to be done On Purpose, like you at least Tried to put effort into it! Its about showing the audience that you think they deserve a narrative that was crafted with Care, not just slapped together and thrown out for a quick Hype/Cash grab, yk???
Anyway So THATS the thing, and thats all cool!!! My issue (and i cannot stress this enough this is Me being Silly and Obsessed with the Six Eared Macaque im a chronic blorbo haver there is no Cure) is that those posts Also tend to talk about LEMH as though... he is a boring character. As though he's just kind of "eh". Or at least thats how my Admittedly biased eyes read them--no beef! Its just gotten me to thinking and now i want to try to write out What im thinking and Why, bc thats a helpful thing to do when you're struggling to figure in your head, obvs obvs
And im of course willing to admit that Yes, in the original text, he is just kind of There! He serves his purpose (aiding in SWK's character development) and then he dies and he doesn't come back again! Hes kind of a metaphor but hes also just an annoying guy! Hes not presented as anything special! I get that that is what is Canon, and thats theres no way to really like... read anything deep into it. Bc theres literally nothing there.
But my problem is that i cannot let characters like that just Be. Especially if the premise of said character could be absolutely FASCINATING if you take it all Completely seriously and At face value--if you try to see whatever is going on for them through their eyes, their minds. Its like.... You can buy a shirt from the store as is, and some might be fine Wearing it as is--while other's might see that shirt and decide it needs a bit of hemming and perhaps some embroidery on the sleeves. Altering it does not change the fact that the original design is what it is--thats just One altered shirt that one person is wearing and perhaps lending to a friend or two, yk???
I love metaphors l. Sorry that dragged on, back to monkey--
To me? LEMH exists in a nebulous state of inevitable connection with SWK--because i like to take the "LEMH is SWK's ~dark side~" thing seriously. In my eyes, they are literally the same person, the same qi, split into two bodies.
There are stories that exist today that explore this idea, characters with this kind of relationship--and i find them incredibly compelling! Because i adore stories that play with the question of what makes a person a person. What seperates you from your maker/origins? What is your purpose in life when you are intrinsically connected to another person, at your very core? Does that mean you exist For them? Do they exist for you? How does thinking that way affect a person, mentally and emotionally? How does it affect these characters, specifically, in conjunction with their personalities and the lives theyd led up until the point they knew about this connection? Have they always known about this connection? Only one of them?
How much more drastic would it affect you if you were essentially a nobody--and the person you are connected to is a public figure? Like Sun Wukong?
Id go crazy. Id go fucking insane? Can you imagine. Its about the potential!!!!! The potential of what knowing something like that would do to someone!!! Im losing the words im apologize i need to calm down--im Not done yet.
What i am getting at here.... is that LEMH would likely work Best as a character who's metaphorical aspects are taken Very Literally--especially so if the story also decides to lean into the idea of his hearing reaching through to the past and future, in any way. He is a character that would thrive on being portrayed in a way that allows him to be a bit Meta, if that makes sense
Yes, you Could just let him be a silly monkey who decided to start shit with SWK for giggles one day--that can absolutely have its merits! But that does not satisfy me, and that is why i am so passionate about him. I want to take my little guy so so fucking seriously because i think it would be SO fucking cool. And a very useful and convenient way to explore ideas about relationships with The Self--since in my eyes, that is what his relationship would be with SWK.
AND ALL THIS STUFF ABSOLUTELY HAS ANOTHER SIDE TO IT, HOW IT ALL COULD AFFECT SWK ON HIS SIDE??? LIKE HOLY SHIT. HOLY SHIT i dont know if i want this post to be That long so i might stop here and come back later to talk abt it from SWKs side in a rb or something--
anyway point is. I thank LMK for introducing me to the Six Eared Macaque, but upon further analysis the way they did him is actually pretty garbo, and im biding my time for till someone introduces me to or Makes a version of him that takes him to his full potential. thats all thanks for coming to my TED talk, get out of my house please
#horse.txt#jttw#xiyouji#liu er mihou#six eared macaque#sun wukong#god this is missing so many smaller thoughts and ideas and shit but i have no idea where to squeeze them in.#theirs lots of stuff going on in my head but its a pain to organize#lemh needs to be a tragic angry antagonist who feels slighted by the world for being dealed the unfortunate hand he was dealt.#even if the fact that he doesn't have what he wants is still technically his fault. kind of like a petulant child but more drastic#and of course SWK having to come face to to face with all that and recon with how lemh doesn't just remind him of himself#in a way he literally IS himself--just with some parts switched around or more prominent than others#he could still kill him or not--theres lots of ways to play with that (personally im curious about the angle of it being a metaphor for sh)#(and/or repression of the self in the Bad way--at least for a short time--because that seems realistic in relation to the original meaning#of that chapter)#with sanzang trying to get him to be less violent and cruel to their adversaries because it is detrimental for his spiritual development#the fact that him Killing lemh (a part of himself) is the tipping point for him to be less murder-happy is very interesting to me#and i like to think that while it was good for him in the long run it may have had very negative and Painful immediate consequences as well#because becoming a better person by Any method is never a straightforward one and done path--backsliding and mistakes are inevitable#itd be nice to see more stuff on the side of the fandom ive been in that explores that more#especially since that was like... the whole point of jttw in the first place#so much for not making this post any longer WHOOPS

I think what anon meant to say is that Mine is the complete opposite of Kiryu, but they have their similarities (both being orphans who became weirdo’s when they grew up) however their paths, the people they surround themselves with, and their worldviews are different.
yeah alright thats fair 😩
#snap chats#i accidentally deleted all my tags im going to fucking scream. im gonna type them all up again but just know im mad#LIKE YEAH. its just the words 'mine is evil capitalist kiryu' shotgunned me in the face i coludnt discern what it meant#the comparison between mine and kiryu is somethin that ive always been interested in tho highkey#after mine's caregiver died he had absolutely no one growing up. meanwhile kiryu had the likes of yumi nishiki and kazama + kashiwagi#kiryu might not have had a biological family anymore but he very much still had a family and a role model#whether kazama was a good one or not aint the topic at hand Point Is its obvious having family in your early years is pretty important#its only astounding mine was able to become a white collar citizen all alone but god...#this is just reminding me i have to finish my childhood development paper WHOOPS its almost done i prommy but anyway#its so unfortunate for mine to be like 'you're like me why are you so happy' because he /isnt/ like mine#he had an entirely different life growing up so of course the two cant connect at all#and with that perspective its just a little insane for kiryu to try to assert that mine should Just Think Differently#thats not his fault obviously he cant know the extent of mine's childhood. all he heard was I Was An Orphan#and took his own experiences and applied them- as mine did towards kiryu#i am. RAMBLING anyway common grounds mine and kiryu do have are orphans + daigo + the lengths theyll go for loved ones#only problem is for mine that includes killing The Loved One because he's insane and thinks coma patients should be mercy killed#like no mine !!!! thats not a thing you can decide put the guN DOWN#ok bye. im gonna stare at my wall

( not me having an au for an au, wtf. i just imagined the following: ascended astarion and "vampire bride/husband" tav living together, somewhat happy I guess, tav too in love to even imagine questioning what astarion does ( you don't need some vampire magic to work, that mf is manipulative as nine hells ), but one day some spawn brings in another victim and boom, everything changes. they're vocal, rebellious ( so to say ) and even though they have to be obedient they test every boundary. it's amusing for astarion at first, reminding of himself and in the beginning the attention they receive from him makes you jealous in some way (which entertains astarion also). That is until you realize you aren't jealous because of love, attention or whatever you may call it. It's because that spawn is still fighting and seeing the wrongs in his doing, something you stopped caring about a long time ago, something you lost about yourself, despite being a mf hero, the one who always did good, sometimes not even intentional. And you see them and are confronted with your lack of interference, you've turned a blind eye cuz you seek love where there is none — and then you make a dangerous yet necessary decision: this has to end. You've got a few advantages compared to a mere spawn, but it's not much — you've to rely on your experience with a man you once loved ( and miss dearly now that you've finally opened your eyes ). you work with the spawn and you may or may not find in them what you miss in astarion, probably seeing parallels everywhere (which could also be so problematic and an interesting dynamic??) but as much as I love angst and sads, I hope there are consensual smooches in the end :)) )
#*ooc#i'm kinda mad that i got the most ideas when it comes to ascended astarion#that mf is terrible and i hate literally every conversation he has with tav#i loved to kick his nuts so much when I still thought durge and he'd suit#but that man has literally the biggest douche audacity I've seen in a pixel#wish it had a more of a morticia and gomez dynamic#i love some person absolutely adore their partner but threatening to kill all existence ( except them )#but it unfortunately still wouldn't work cuz of that whole “spawn/slave” aspect#can't romantise that shit#not even for batstarion
