So basically, I’m stealing a page from @for-a-longlongtime ‘s page and trying to keep things short when writing. Exploring new characters and dynamics like I said I would in the year of Pedro 2024. 🤗

Is this possible for Nerdie whose Weekend updates span, a few pages at minimum? Only time will tell.

I’m going to have to tap into @trulybetty @goodwithcheese and @morallyinept levels of brevity but also actually making the words have meaning. 🤔

My small update has gone too long already. This will be an uphill battle @alltheglitterandtheroar 😭

#Nerdie update #She’s gonna try new things #short things #is it possible?#I wouldn’t bet on it #might lose some money #but you never know #pedro pascal characters #fanfiction #pedro pascal #pedro pascal fanfiction #Oscar Isaac #oscar isaac characters #but some things will not be short #you know which one

i feel the need to remind everyone that Damen’s literally one of the smartest and most well-educated characters in the series. He’s extremely well-read and knowledgeable about military tactics and strategy, which if you didn’t know also includes a huge depth of history knowledge, and his talent comes from both education and years of experience. He’s smart enough to know geography and terrain information of an area he hasn’t needed to have information on in seven years, and even then, the lands they are talking about were in mainland Vere, not Delpha, so his studies were his own initiative. he has favorite poems! HE ENJOYED DEBATING OBSCURE PHILOSOPHY WITH HESTON!!! like y’all Damen is just as intelligent as Laurent, it’s just that Laurent’s intelligence is about manipulation and chess and Damen’s just a nerd.

(also people are gonna be coming for me for this one but i think Damen likes books and libraries a lot more than Laurent ever did)

#i would bet my college tuition that Damen loves analyzing and debating about books #‘damen wouldn’t understand hamlet’ stfu he would eat that shit up #side note tho damen would love hamlet it’s a lot like his and laurent’s story #there’s definitely more that i’m not thinking of right now #but even on my first read of the series there were so many scenes where Damen is extremely competent and clearly educated and trained #i don’t understand all the fic writers that make damen some himbo golden retriever and laurent this sarcastic girlboss #damen #capri #captive prince #damen of akielos #damianos of akielos

A thing I don’t buy about what Breq says in Imperial Radch is the implication that people largely don’t care about what their ship/station thinks of them or assume it doesn’t have opinions. I would be so desperate to get a good grade in Station. I would be throwing you all under the bus if I thought it would win me some points with the station AI.

#clefairy squeaks #imperial radch #I would want Station to be my friend sooooo bad #Are you telling me there wouldn’t be a subset of people who were lonely kids for whom Station was probably their only friend #Breq cmon I bet some people were desperate to win points with you #Same species of person who needs the waiter to like them

Here’s an upsetting realization to leave you guys with before bed:

Katsuki was kidnapped by the league in July

Izuku left UA in April

It’s an insignificant detail but it was definitely intentional. Hori, you angsty bastard🥲

#bakudeku #midoriya izuku #bakugou katsuki #bkdk #bnha #i know we don’t know the exact days they left but I wouldn’t put it past hori to make it so that they both left on each others birthdays #also if you wanna get really technical #Izuku had ten months of training before the entrance exam in February #meaning that the sludge villain attack also happened in April #oh and Japan starts school in April meaning that DvK1 also happened in April #how much you wanna bet Katsuki HATES his birthday now?💀#Izuku probably hates his too even though he’s only had one bad birthday that we know of #although I think it’s safe assume that the arc we’re in now takes place around June or July considering that he left UA in April #hori pls stop my heart can’t take it (read as: pls keep going I love the angst)

If I see another god damn post about how “Charlie and Vaggie have no chemistry” or “x relationship has so much more chemistry than Chaggie” I’m GOING to start flipping tables

#the day fandoms realize chemistry is subjective and that there’s different kinds of chemistry is the day Fat Nuggets flies #god I’m so sick of this argument #charlie x vaggie #Chaggie #starmoth #Hazbin hotel #Hazbin hotel fanom critical #chaggie sugar #I bet if I asked half of y’all what chemistry means you wouldn’t be able to say shit

if you’re behind on taking your anti-delulu pills, do not watch this tiktok with hongjoong’s raspy morning voice saying, “good morning. good morning, love. did you sleep well?” because the deluluness will increase tenfold 🙃

#the way goosebumps ran all over my skin when i heard that #his morning voice is both endearing and arousing #if i heard this in my ear every morning best bet i wouldn’t be getting out of bed 🥴#hongjoong hard thoughts #joongie #☕️

Struck Too Far

Scaramouche (pre-3.3 Archon Quest) x reader

In which you, a lower-ranking Fatui, sacrifice yourself to save your lover, Scaramouche.

WORD COUNT: 1.2k

cw - angst . character death (reader) . Scaramouche is still Fatui and goes by his Fatui aliases . no comfort . TW; mentions of being shot

Banner art is by Sirwicca on TikTok!

A/N: please note there may be mixed lines between 3rd and 1st person since I had to do a lot of edits (because this was originally a story with an OC in the place of the reader), so forgive me for that, I don’t think I was able to fix it all 😭

It wasn’t supposed to have come to this. That much, Scaramouche was painfully aware of.

You shouldn’t be on the floor, bleeding to death in front of him — and he shouldn’t have even been attacked. You shouldn’t have jumped in the way of the arrow meant to hit him. And yet, with a smile; innocent expression, you had gladly taken the attack in his place.

“You idiot..!” Why did he feel something wet on his face? He wasn’t crying. He never cried. “Why.. why did you..” but he can’t bear to finish his sentence. If he did, then that would mean this was real.

He would never let it be real. He couldn’t.

Not for his sake, but for the sake of the bloodstained person laying in front of him.. you, his lover. His light. A hand on his cheek snaps him out of his thoughts. He meets your soft eyes with his own cold, anguished expression. “Better me than you,” you tell him, “the others need you, Scara. But they don’t need me.” “You’re wrong!” His voice was strained, on the edge of a hurt scream mixed with a sob. “You’re wrong, y/n, they- I-“

“‘Kuzushi.”

Scaramouche froze.

You never use that name with him, not unless you absolutely have to. And it was then that it dawned on him, all too late, that there wouldn’t be any possible way to save you - why else were you calling him by his true name now?

“Kuzushi. You always told me that I should prove myself.. earn respect in a way that only I can. And for me.. it’s showing my loyalty. That’s how I’ve reached the point I’m at. By proving my loyalty.” You smile weakly, squeezing Scaramouche’s hand. “But.. I’m nothing more than a pawn in the Tsaritsa’s plan - while you are a vital asset.”

Scaramouche wanted to argue against that statement, so badly. But he also knew you were right. His life played a huge role in the Tsaritsa’s plans. And the plain, ugly truth was that while his life was valuable to the Cryo Archon, your own life meant next to nothing to the Tsaritsa.

So instead of arguing, or yelling, he let himself sit there, numb, as he holds you in his arms while you speak - praying that there would be more time.. that he could have more time with you. It was selfish, but it was all he wanted, now, in this moment. Oh, how he regretted all the times he had pushed you away when he was in his moods.

Time was cruel, and death was, too.

You take in a breath, struggling now, “So, if me giving up my life means you.. you can continue to carve your legacy, then.. I don’t think I mind.” “You’re a fool, y/n.. you’re such a fool!” Scaramouche wants to yell at you so badly, call you an idiot for taking the attack meant for him, but he knows it won’t matter.

You had always been stubborn since the day the both of you met.

“That makes you a bigger fool, then, my Balladeer..” you chuckle weakly, your life ebbing away from you, “you knew it would be this way. I always told you.. that I would give my own life to see yours through, if it came to that..” “Stop it-“ “You know I can’t..” even now, you have that soft, innocent look in your gaze. How could you act like everything would be fine when you were dying?

He breathes in sharply, “just stop, y/n, please- just STOP!” He hates feeling that he is showing weakness, and he hates feeling vulnerable, but knowing that he is losing his partner is something he hates even more. “Please.. we have time-“

You only shake your head, “no, Kuzushi.. it hurts..”

Scaramouche lowers his head, his breath hitching in his throat. Why you? Why not some useless agent or a dispensable mage - not his lover. Not you. Not now, not when he had so much more he’d left unsaid. Again, he feels your hand on his cheek, and he looks down, his eyes softening. Something they only did for you, and you alone. “I.. I love you so much, Kuzushi-“ you cough, smiling again. That smile that Scaramouche knows he won’t see again once you’re gone. The thought makes his stomach turn. Again, he wishes his denial could be the truth, and at the same time he knows it never will be.

The painful thing about denial is that it seldom ever becomes truth. Shaking his mind clear for the moment, he touches his forehead to yours, exhaling slowly, “I love you too, amaimono.. I’m sorry if I ever made you feel otherwise.. and I’m sorry I can’t save you-“

You silence him with a gentle hand gripping his - your strength is fading, and he knows it’s only a matter of moments before you, his partner, will leave his side in the mortal realm.

Scaramouche wants to tell you everything he never could bring himself to before. That your smile always made him feel safe and wanted; that your touch always brightened even his darkest days. But there wasn’t time left.

“You never did. I knew you well enough to k-know you never meant anything harsh you m-may have said..” you smile again.

And Archons, how Scaramouche hates himself, for never finding the time to apologize properly for the times he’d lashed out; to thank you for staying by his side, even when he’d take his anger out on you or hurt you with his words. He finally breaks down; the wetness on his face could only be tears and nothing else. And he lets them fall. He could care less if an agent saw him, or if another Harbinger were to berate him; fuck it all, he doesn’t care anymore.

You are the only thing that matters now, and he continues to tell himself this - to keep talking to you before he can’t anymore, lest he regret it if he doesn’t.

“Y/n, please, I-“ he sighs, a ragged, shuddering breath as his tears still fall, even now, “I can’t do this without you.” “You did it once, my love, even when I wasn’t there..” you whisper, pulling Scaramouche’s head closer to your own with your quickly fading strength.

Your lips then ghost against Scaramouche’s, faint, desperate, but unsure.

“I’ve always had faith in you, my storm, b-because I know you’ll do amazing.. even w-without me..” your words are barely a whisper, chest heaving - you’re tired, and you’re too far gone. Your body falls limp before you can even take another breath, and Scaramouche turns away, his eyes screwed shut. You’re gone. Y/n, his y/n, isn’t with him anymore.

It stings, an eerie feeling; though loss was something Scaramouche knew well, now he is sure he wouldn’t forget how it felt. First had come the three betrayals, and though he knows that it was beyond your control, that you were only mortal, he still feels as though your death was yet another one. Death truly is the cruelest master, Scaramouche thinks to himself as he finally lets down his guard, sobbing over your still body.

If only it could’ve taken him instead.

Consider the following:

Brawler Jaune. He uses his semblance on his arms, enhancing the power of his blows and protecting his arms from the force of impact. He can punch through a brick wall with his bare hand without so much as bruising his knuckles.

He’s in a fight with, let’s say, Mercury, who knocks Crocea Mors out of his hand and away from him, and mockingly asks what he’s going to do without his weapon.

The next thing he knows, Jaune is serving him up a knuckle sandwich on a right hook platter.

And yes, this idea was inspired by watching Nanami run Haruta’s fade in the most recent JJK episode

I mean, I’m straight and all, but if Nanami grabbed my ponytail I-

You know what? Nevermind.

#jaune arc #rwby #jujutsu kaisen #jjk nanami #speaking of grabbing ponytails #I bet Weiss wouldn’t mind if Jaune grabbed hers

hey seth! i'm just a random guy that's been really into sunny for the past year, and i always love your tweets. you, loren, and anna have been on my fyp a lot the past weekend, and i know a lot of people are being assholes about it, but it's genuinely so heartwarming to see. you three definitely deserve it and are the best kind of people for this to happen to. you always come off as respectful of rcg. hope you can pass the message along to them both too! have a great day

Thank you for the kind message, I really really appreciate it and so do Anna and Loren! Glad you got into the show :)

Honestly I get people are lashing out/shit talking because it does seem kinda weird to witness through a screen how much we’ve been able to interact with them and the interactions we’ve had. I know people are jealous, too (as in have told me they are, and I was certainly jealous last year when Rob didn’t do any events in NYC bc he was sick but did them in Philly a few days later) and I totally get that. Whatever the reason for people being assholes is, I don’t really take it personally. They don’t know the full story of literally anything that happened, they’re just watching through a screen and making their own assumptions of before, after, and in between all these clips they’re seeing, and trying to find something to justify how they feel. The claims that I’ve been ‘stalking’ them or ‘overstepping boundaries’ are genuinely just funny to me when every place we’ve met them has been an event that was publicly posted to Instagram/Facebook well in advance.

(And I’m not gonna talk on Twitter about certain details of this, but I feel like I can probably disclose here that the Four Walls people approached me to tell me/give me things and not the other way around. Their socials dmed me, followed me, Rob followed me, etc. I had literally no sway in them choosing to do those things or introducing themselves to me in person and organically engaging in conversations with me.)

We want to share our interactions with RCG on social media because we think most people appreciate and enjoy their interactions with fans (and also the small amounts of Sunny info we got), and that’s it. I don’t need to share or brag about anything. I would be perfectly content keeping everything that happened this weekend to myself (I very much avoid otherwise sharing my face or voice on social media, so I genuinely have to overcome that insecurity to even be able to share these things), but we know the majority of fans like to see this stuff and that’s why we have been posting everything.

Your message (and others i’ve received) means a lot. I’m glad the majority of people are enjoying our interactions with them and I really appreciate the time you spend to send this ask, really! And I’ll be back to posting regularly scheduled actual Sunny content very shortly :)

#ask #like how do i explain #charlie literally walked right up to us #and had to be DRAGGED away #bc he didn’t want to stop talking to us #it sounds literally delusional and made up #like i gen wouldn’t believe that if it didn’t happen to me lol #same shit with my phone screen #ppl thinking i forced him to look at macdennis fanart #literally just comical #but i can’t explain the context #it all sounds made up bc it’s surreal it happened #so honestly ? anyone can feel however they want #about interactions and clips. cos yeah i would maybe be sus as well #like literally what is happening #but shittalking on my posts or in my mentions #or sending me weird shit on anonymous #i’m not gonna entertain or accept lol #nameless faceless people who don’t understand 5% of what happened this weekend #trying to tell me what happened to me is just funny #again cos it’s. literally mind boggling to me #so i accept a lot of ppl just. will be pissed cos it makes no sense #these are 47 year old ‘cishet’ men #with a certain public perception #and yeah you bet your ass i was shocked at how they interacted with us #but i know how it went #i know how they feel #and i think most of you do too :)

I’m still throughly upset that Cassian has one of the most romantic lines in all the books and then in the following two books treats Nesta like shit.

Home girl needed to know she was worth it and be held for once in her life, but you listened to an old ass eldritch bitch who should have died in book 3 and waited until Nesta broke as a person and rebuilt herself in the image of the night court before you decided to love her.

Note: This is my onion and I will not be taking criticisms. I don’t hate nessian I’m just triggered and I know that’s a me problem 😂

#he threw her gift in a river cause he was pissed #I was so triggered reading that #and they listened to Amern???? that bitch never had emotions until she started fuckin what’s his name #I’ll never forgive SJM for that #nesta deserves better #I also bet money mor was hogging the room while cassian was healing #I wouldn’t go in there either #not after he yanked his hand away when she walked in #like cassian you had such potential #if I had the time and attention I would rewrite acosf #don’t even get me started on that fuckin hike #or the fact he didn’t get mad that Rhys threatened to kill his mate #I’m in my feelings #unpopular opinion: acotar edition #acotar #it’s my opinion!#im not anti nessian I’m just anti whatever the fuck acosf was #cause I’m bias for nesta #acotar spoilers #also no I don’t care nesta didn’t go hunting #the house was never dirty now was it? someone had to clean it and cook #sure as hell wasn’t Feyre we would have heard her complain about it #the real villain is the patriarchy but y’all ain’t ready to hear that 🤣#even in this fantasy world it wreaks havoc
