I've been thinking about the cruel Morgana scene in 3x13, where she executes people of Camelot to gain knights' allegiance. Though I think it was too extreme for her at the time (it would be more proper in S4 or S5 imo), it creates a parallel between her and Uther in 1x01.

In 1x01, Uther executed a person on other people's eyes and Morgana looked at it from her room. She diverted her eyes but still could hear what was going on. In 3x13, Uther was imprisoned and had to watch or at least listen to the execution by Morgana. She paid him back with killing ones of his own, as he did to her before in her judgement.

It would be too easy to label Arthur = good, Morgana = bad in terms of ruling Camelot, but the parallel with Uther explains a lot as to why she did it.

In terms of IRL years

bonus question: how does their IRL age relate to their canon age?

the difference between adhd and autism is a spectrum and these men are on either side of it.

i'm falling for gil again NO NO STOP STOP I CANT GO BACK

So, bit of ramblings on my Post-Trimax Wolfwood headcanons.

Man, one of my favorite tropes in media is a character who's spirit lingers on after they've died, but it's usually something you only see in fanfic, so I cannot get over how FUCKING FERAL I was when I realized that it was legit a thing in Trimax, and that Wolfwood was the one we actually got to see, legitimately talking to the people he'd left behind and confirming that ghosts in the canon weren't just hallucinations or something! Like yeah, we saw Tessla leading the boys to her body, but since her ghost was never mentioned again, it could have easily have been written off as a fluke, right?

NOPE. They are real and they linger after to watch over the people they care about or to send messages to the people who are still alive! And the fact that the character who had just wormed his way into being just as beloved to me as my favorite character (Which NEVER happens, I usually only have enough brain cells for one at a time!) and that we had just had our hearts ripped to shreds watching him die was also the one we got to know had definitely stayed behind to watch over the people he loved just makes me SO HAPPY! I rp that asshole from time to time, and I just love exploring the implications of it!

I play him like he's been there a LONG TIME. When he died, Rem was there, watching over Vash, but when Knives spent the last of his energy, she chose to move on with him, now that she knew Wolfwood would be there to keep watch over Vash, and he took it SERIOUSLY. He's been waiting so long, he's lost his sense of time, he thinks it's only been a couple decades when it's been CENTURIES. And the time has softened his own trauma, he's gone from being surly and angry and defensive to being at peace and finding comfort in the fact that its allowed him to see more of Vash's life than he ever would have been able to live long enough to see when he was alive. And it's given him time to notice just how unwell Vash is, how broken he is, watching over him when he thinks he's alone and lets himself break down.

But it's also made Wolfwood a bit unwell in his own way; as time went on and the people he knew in life began to pass away, too, his interest in paying attention to what the people around them were doing wained, and his dedication to watching over Vash until it was his time to pass on became a strange sort of dependence. He loses his sense of self, in a way, until the most important thing in his existence is being there for Vash, waiting for him, having long-since accepted that when the time comes, it'll be over and he's alright with that.

He's happy, but to the perspective of a living person, it would seem TWISTED in a way. He still thinks he's a damned soul, stealing more time than he's allowed and only damning himself further by doing so, and he just knows that when he gets to walk Vash into whatever comes after for them, they'll be separated again, for the last time, and there won't be any coming back from it that time, because Vash is too good, too kind, too HOLY to ever be damned. But it's fine. Wolfwood knew he was damned long before his death, and time has just given him the chance to make peace with it and simply be happy with the fact that at least he'll be able to be with Vash when he can move on to wherever good people go at the end. And yet when it happens, Vash feels the same way about himself, so certain that he's the one who's damned, and their reunion is wonderful and painful and terrifying for both of them in different ways.

He's even worse with interacting with people, once he's forced to interact with the living. I play Wolfwood in a game where he stumbles into revealing himself after spending centuries never letting himself be seen, and he worries that going "silent" again will upset people. He's spent centuries being a silent shadow, certain that letting Vash know he was there would only cause more suffering for an already unwell mind, so he's forgotten how to interact with tact, blurting out whatever pops into his head because he's only had himself to talk to for all that time. He hurts people without meaning to, begins to suffer from the crisis of worrying that no matter what he does, he's a burden to the people who mourn him, he doesn't belong, his existence is nothing but a constant reminder of what's coming and will only cause the people around him pain. He's both able to be the kind, caring, loving person he might have been if the Eye of Michael had never taken him from the orphanage, and also a HUGE, ANXIOUS WRECK.

And the thing that makes it all worse for him is the fact that when he was dumped into the game I have him in, he was separated from the Vash of his timeline, and now lives in constant fear that he'll never see him again, that he won't be there when he passes on and there won't be anyone to greet him on the other side, alone and never knowing that he was waiting for him. He made a promise to Rem that he'd watch over him for her, that he'd lead him to his final destination where he could be with his family again, and now that he's lost that, what purpose does he have? He's terrified to let go himself, worried he'll pass onto the other side when Vash was right around the corner, but the thought of lingering without finding him again, missing his chance to be there for him when it's his turn, leaves him in an almost constant state of almost-panic.

I also just think it's kind of sweetly poetic, if in the end, he chose to continue the role he'd been forced into; take Vash where he's supposed to be. Only this time, it's his choice, and it won't be to his death. He wants to guide him to where he knows people are waiting for him, where he'll finally be happy and be at peace. He doesn't mind the fact that he's going to Hell, so long as he was able to be the one that leads Vash to the place where he won't have to be in pain ever again.

Part 2 of 2.

Thinking about the significance for stopping Cazador's ritual from my Tav's perspective. Yes, this is Astarion's moment 100%, but there is some awesome potential for her character here.

Like, they are here to help Astarion, but then there are these 7,000 people about to be sacrificed. My Tav is a former Cleric of Lolth from Menzobarrazzan, where sacrifice is normal and encouraged! It's literally a pillar of their societal structure. At this point she's 225 years old and from a noble house. From my understanding, noble houses have their own chapels for worship and rituals that they organize.

How many people has she seen sacrificed by this point? I've read conflicting lore about the frequency. In the Drizzt books, they'll sacrifice whenever is needed for Lolth's favor. So let's say she's seen 200 years of sacrifices once a month…that's 2,400 people.

Throw in the violence of Drow society…yeah you get the picture…

For her to help stop the ritual is a pretty big moment for her as well. It probably would have been just as easy to kill them because, frankly, it's familiar. But at the end of the day, even after all those sacrifices, a lolthite drow's entire existence is driven by fear and they usually get nothing in return for their devotion no matter how much they sacrificed.

I struggled to think about what she'd do with the spawn after Cazador is dead and I think she would probably let them go.

Eilistraee would probably be happy with her decision even though they are vampire spawn.

*Permanent interactions call.

I've been thinking about it for a while now, but like or comment on this post if you're alright with me sending you asks either unprompted or from prompts you've reblogged ages ago whenever I feel like it & if you're alright with receiving random starters if I ever have the ideas for them! You're never going to be obligated to reply to them though, so they'll just be possibilities for interactions in case you ever have the inspo for them!

thinking abt when hakuno got sakura flowers from the garden...... 🥺 she is absolutely da type 2 give you smth bc it "reminded her of you" frfr 🤧💖

Day 2: Favorite Journal Page

The one that talks about Stan recovering his memory!! It’s such a soft, intimate moment that comes as a welcome contrast to all of the heartbreak from Weirdmageddon. I genuinely love that they ultimately decided to keep this moment to the journal, rather than putting this in the show as a scene, because it reads to me as a very soft, private moment.

I remember right before the Journal came out, I was hoping and pleading for content of the Stan twins bonding. There was a part of me that was convinced we would get absolutely squat, since I knew most of the journal was written pre-reconciliation, and that anything other than angry griping and occasional nostalgia would just be hopeful thinking. This page, in turn, was a huge surprise. It felt like such a love letter to Stan and Ford, and everything perfect and not-so-perfect about their relationship. It felt like a loving thank you note to fans, for all of our crazy speculation and over-the-top reconciliation fics. 

I’m happy beyond words that we got a shot of them on the Stan O’ War II in the show, but I love this quiet moment just as much, because it feels very personal and grounding.

Wibbly wobbly timey-wimey thoughts on 'The Giggle' because OH MY GOD

(spoilers under the cut!)

The speed at which I screamed "GOOD OMENS!" when we started in Soho (also, was that the same magic shop that Az & Crowley went to? I'm just gonna say that it is for my own enjoyment lol)

Not the Doctor and the Toymaker calling out the human race — they were spitting facts fr

Oh the Spice Girls performance was so unnerving but also so fun??? Seemed like Neil Patrick Harris in his element 😂

As soon as they entered the Toymaker's place I KNEW they should've held hands they got separated again!! And Donna pulling out the mother persona on the creepy dolls yes queen 🙌

Ohh but the Toymaker's puppet show was so rude how dare he (the angst potential though my gosh)

The way I gasped when the 14th got lasered I was heartbroken I thought: "No way he can't not finish the episode that's not fair!"

I was so glad that he wasn't going to regenerate alone this time though (and the energy was so soft and so pretty??). BUT THEN—

HE FREAKIN' DID IT AGAIN! His last word was going to be Allons-y and he faked us out! AGAIN. I screamed at the tv so hard man

physically felt my heart sink when the regeneration energy came back and then it absolutely soared when the 15th came out of him and then they separated into two! (he's regenerated into 2 people twice now. David Tennant I applaud you)

I love Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor already???? The 15th is so warm and open??? The way he bonded with the 14th (& Donna) immediately??

Donna and 15 supporting 14 up on that building and 15 just cradling and kissing 14?? The ultimate self-care<3

THAT HAND AND THE RING IS SUS!

The reason this face came back is so that he can come home??? This whole scene w/ 15 telling 14 that they need to stop, they deserve to rest, to go slow and steady and Donna bringing him home, what they've always been heading towards — I think I could write so much more on this once I've gotten in a rewatch but WE SO WON I TEARED UP

THE. TWO. TARDISES?? 15's having a jukebox (we vibin'). Also The Doctor finally seeing what the TARDIS looks like when it flies off lol

THE LUNCH. HE'S ROSE'S UNCLE. HE'S SHAUN'S BROTHER-IN-LAW. HE'S PART OF THEIR FAMILY. OH MY GODS THIS IS EVERYTHING ❤️❤️(ಥ﹏ಥ)

15 looks so excited! Like it's a fresh start!

The core four

Killing doesn't solve anything - Gwen

Killing after offering mercy first - Arthur

Killing for the once you love - Merlin

Killing for what you believe is right - Morgana

@Muse I am *begging* you to start releasing concert albums again, I need the live versions of Kill or be Killed and We Are Fucking Fucked injected directly into my veins 😩

an exploration into loyalties , passion , violence && self-doubt. heavily headcanon based.

[ carrd ]

I remember when I was roughly 10, I had an online friend who once told me "I wish you took better care of yourself," and I'm almost in my 20s now. What a thing to say to be deeply remembered even after all this time. How much do you think a decade can change a person?

Do people have any unpopular opinions on anything related to the Choices books that they would feel comfortable sharing? I'm kinda bored and it would be fun to read some hot takes imao
