Dios Apate minor part 2

—God had just picked up the Saint of Joy bodily and sat her at the edge of the table, and the Saint of Patience had his mouth at God's neck, which was horrible—

Imagine the soul of the earth gives you god-like magic to save the planet from a climate apocalypse and you just hard focus on doing necromancy with it lmao. Imagine being handed the keys to life just to close off the door and declare that you conquered death. Imagine putting the embodiment of all life in a tomb and calling her an apocalypse to come. Incredible loser behaviour tbh.

#me when im the lord of my own scarcity #me when i get the power to create and use it to take #me when john can absolutely do more than necromancy but idk??? does he know???? does he not care???? does it not fit his style???#this isnt saying i would not have used my power to hunt down the trillionaires #i just would have done it in a cooler way #anyway #ejg #john gaius #the locked tomb #nona the ninth #harrow the ninth #gideon the ninth

I feel like the prevailing fandom opinion rn is that Alecto Is Just Angry i.e. "implacable or unceasing anger" but I keep thinking about this quote and how John totally glosses over his own anger-as-besetting-sin while basically condemning Alecto's, and. hm.

idk. thinking about how Alecto's actual in text reaction (via Harrow) to her own death/remaking was more like... despair? disapointment? "I still love you"? something about how Alecto must have woken up after her death, unwillingly new and hurting with it and the only other thing left in existence was someone who was so angry that he killed billions of people and also the entire solar system just to try (and fail!) to prevent a few hundred (?) trillionares from running away. thinking about soul permeability. "She was a monster the moment you resurrected her, and you went and made her worse"

#congrats lil buddy that's the worst anyone's ever done it #john gaius #alecto #tlt thoughts #trb.txt #much too think about #not sure if im Saying It here but ive been awake since 4am. send post.

gaius casually dropping "this time I've chosen... a woman" in an emergency conversation with the king without consulting merlin first you will always be famous

#arguably the funniest thing he's ever done #he's such a funny little guy how can you not love him #gaius: “not to worry. my son can do that”#merlin: “I can what”#gaius: “in his sleep even. its basically second nature to him”#gaius #merlin and gaius #merlin #*

Happy Valentione's Day!

This isn't so much about Valentione's Day than it is about love in general... I think it still captures the spirit of the day, tho! The different ways we can show one another love are vast and plentiful.

Transcript under the readmore.

PAGE 1 [I admit that saying "I love you" does not come naturally to me.]

--

Makoh'to: You want to toast the dried chilies until they develop a bit of a char, like this, then grind them into flakes.

Gaius: My eyes are starting to water...

--

Makoh'to: Make sure to generously season the hamsa breast!

Gaius: (What is considered "generous" ...?)

--

Gaius: Why not use a measuring cup for consistency?

Makoh'to: This bowl works!

Gaius: And if we no longer have that bowl?

Makoh'to: This one would work, too!

--

Makoh'to: Then a handful of diced onions...

Gaius: My hands are larger than yours.

Makoh'to: Hm...

Makoh'to: Two-thirds of your handful will do!

--

[I have told you before "I love you."]

[And you always reply "I love you, too."]

PAGE 2

[I want to tell you "I love you" every day, but it does not feel like enough.]

[Not after everything I have put you through. Asked of you.]

[But if learning new recipes with you...]

[...cooking your favorite foods...]

[... is a way I can say "I love you" then let his be one of the many dishes I will learn to make for you.]

Gaius, in Makoh'to's native tongue: Jao yak khao bor? (Are you hungry?)

Makoh'to, in his native tongue: Ah! Khoi yak khao haeng! (I'm starving!)

[Notes in Gaius's book]

Left Page:

...'to enjoys his food extra spicy

.. for padaek can take...

... out the container in...

Right Page:

One Makoh'to handful is roughly 125 ml

He uses a generous amount of seasoning

Note: He did not find a flat spoonful generous enough

The blue measuring bowl is in the cabinet below the spice rack.

... in lieu of bird's eye chilies

yeah, your boyfriend? the one you blessed with necromantic abilities, hoping he'd save you? i really hate to tell you this, but he started a cult. yeah, they have capes. and eyeliner. he also made a wall out of cows and sheep. you should probably talk to him. tbh he seems really upset.

#i have two questions: 1. is this funny 2. has this been done before #tlt #the locked tomb #john gaius #ntn #ntn spoilers #nona the ninth #nona the ninth spoilers #alecto tlt #your boyfriend #your boyfriend meme

imagine your lawyer publicly telling everyone in a trial broadcast to every human alive that the reason you're on trial is because you're a fundamentally dislikeable person and everybody hates you

#and specifying why 😭😭#bsg #lee was absolutely right like baltar has done very bad things but nobody knows about them and thats not what he was on trial for #gaius baltar

So I'm starting a merthur fic right. It's going to be long and amazing, I have a feeling.

The fic idea credit goes to @ikol-art

Also for the people who wanted to know when I commented

@percyspencer

@i-write-stories-not-sins-bitch

@jellytamalies

I'm still iffy on the title but I got the description/blurb done.

So here's a little taste to my upcoming merthur fic ♡

________________________________________

“It’s not funny.”

Merlin said, looking at the chained up dragon with an unpleasant look of disapproval. Arthur was standing next to him, like always, glaring at the dragon.

Kilgharrah raised a brow, I mean really!?!? Can dragons even do that? And gave an amused laugh with an unhelpful smile.

“Oh but young warlock it quite is.”

Or

In witch Merlin’s magic goes haywire in the last ditch attempt to save Arthur who is currently dying in his arms. Because please, he’s the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the earth, magic incarnate!

In this Merlin’s time magic amplifies and ends up sending him all the way back to the day he met Arthur.

It also turns out Arthur remembers.

So, ten years worth of memories in younger bodies back in time?

What could go wrong.

________________________________________

Let me know what you think and maybe give me some title ideas ♡

I see a lot of meta talking about how the John Verses are John telling the story of the leadup to the apocalypse with the most sympathetic biased self-justifying gloss to make it sound like nothing was his fault, and I guess that's why so many readings go for a hardline worst-faith interpretation of them, but.... I don't really see it.

When he tells about how he murdered everyone who had a gun, he could have played up the self-defense angle. He could have claimed he was scared, and he did it to protect everyone. He could have emphasized that he was killing cops, instead of emphasizing the civilians. He could have stuck with the story he told at the time, that he freaked out and made a mistake and hadn't meant to kill them all. He doesn't. He admits to mass murder, and he admits to having done it because he was angry. And he admits to still not regretting it one bit.

The story John tells just doesn't paint him in the best possible light. He does include all of the justifications he used at the time, he does explain why on earth any of this ever seemed like a good idea to anyone, and he does want to be understood, but he doesn't really try to sell it as having been right.

I really don't see the verse chapters as being John's justification. They're his confession. That's why they feel so good to condemn.

#the locked tomb #emperor john gaius #ntn spoilers #nona the ninth #he isn't even really looking for absolution #whenever Harrow/Alecto says she still loves him he HATES it #the last time he says there can be no forgiveness Harrow asks him for whom #and he doesn't answer #he knows exactly what he is #amd whether there can be forgiveness or not does remain to be seen #just feeling like shit about it does jackshit #he hasn't done a goddamn thing in his life to try to make up for or to even stop ACTIVELY CAUSING harm #amd that's where the real challenge lies #but it's exhausting to me to see him engaged with as a Symbol Of Evil rather than as a human being #he was a person and he got very very very angry for aot of very good reasons and some not so good ones #this is the big boy all grown up version of the scene where Gideon strangled Harrow to the brink of death #the part where I hurt you #and how do you come back from that?#john has decided that you can't #you can't come back you can only double down #and it just doesnt feel right to agree with him on that

If you take a step back and really look at them, Gaius (in ARR, at least) and Edmont are actually pretty interesting foils for each other, because one is a deeply, deeply awful person who is an incredible father, while the other is one of the most moral and kind people on the planet who's given all of his kids massive, incredibly self-destructive complexes.

Like, Gaius genuinely adores all his children, even Livia, despite her incredibly disturbing fixation on him, and is very obviously gutted by the idea that they'd go to war without him to protect them, while Edmont very clearly only cared about Haurchefant, foisting all the First Born Son responsibilities on Artoirel but giving him absolutely none of the respect, and hardly remembering that Emmanellain even exists save to scold him.

Hell, even Haurchefant, even though he was the favorite, didn't get particularly better treatment because of Countess Fortemps (incredibly understandable) hatred of him, which led to Haurche becoming self-destructively self-sacrificing to try and get at least a little of the respect he deserves from his peers, and eventually lead to his death at The Vault.

#Its important to note that I'm not making any moral judgment towards people who really like either Gaius or or Edmont #They're both fantastically written characters with well done arcs that I'm happy to see whenever they show up in MSQ or side content #I also feel like I need to point out that yes I know Gaius being a good dad IS a retcon introduced in ShB and the Werlyt Raids #but it doesn't really change my point at all #Anyway #The Fortemps family is a cocktail of mental illness and I'm sad we never get to meet Countess Fortemps to learn just how fucked up SHE was #FFXIV #edmont fortemps #haurchefant greystone #artoirel de fortemps #emmanellain de fortemps #heavensward #shadowbringers #gaius van baelsar
