#Tricky hero
Note
now I’m imagining RGB taking those buzz feed quizzes that’s are like “what kind of bread are you?” and him getting mad because he is NOT a bagel
RGB is 100% a bagel though
#maybe because I love bagels#Hero is cinnamon roll#Assok is. also. a cinnamon roll.#Julienne is a baguette the only bread you can beat a man to death with#Melody is pan francés peruano for sure (most popular bread in peru!)#Tinker is a pretzel. don't ask me why okay just accept this.#Tailor is a chocolate croissant :3#Dial is tricky. I think he'd be bread adjacent just to cause drama... like idk a danish pastry. or pizza.#Click is the most flavourless underbaked white bread. pre-sliced square 'is this plastic' mother fucker. you know the one.#and now im hungry so that's all folks

I'm curious about the changelings AU please!
It would be impolite for royal parents not to invite their fae neighbors when their children are born and named- and it would be impolite for the fae not to bring gifts.
The trouble is that fae gifts can be a double-edged sword, and when it comes to royal heirs, stability is often preferred over power.
Hence, the secret tradition of "changlings" comes about. An orphan baby is changed for the royal child during the party, and receives the gifts and curses, and then is switched back later and taught how to use their power. Changlings grow up to become mages, and mages grow to supply royals with new changlings.
All is well, for the royals, the mages, the fae, the people.
But then one day, the fae realize how they have been tricked for so long.
And they begin to retaliate.
#Most hero characters are mages tho some are fae#not all mages are changelings some are just descended from them#But the main plot involves Izuku trying to keep his newborn sister Eri from being found and taken by either the mages or the fae#Which is tricky because thats two extremely powerful groups. and he is a ten year old kid on his own with a baby.#aimportantdragoncollector#pocket talks to people#ask game

I know Hogwarts Houses are not the thing to do anymore, but I came across someone who called Nancy Wheeler a Slytherin, and my brain wouldn't rest until I figured out what she would actually be.
It's not that Slytherin wouldn't be a logical choice in some ways. Nancy certainly has a strong desire to prove herself and plenty of ambition. However, those things are not what drive her, what motivate her.
Nancy would think that she's a Ravenclaw. She highly values truth and knowledge, but it's a means to an end for her. It's not the end goal itself. Knowledge is important to her because of what it gives her, the power and ability to act, and to make a difference.
She is highly like Hermione in this way, but therein lies my reasoning for ultimately choosing Gryffindor. Nancy, for all her intelligence, can be the most reckless, dunderheaded ball of loyalty and courage in the world. She can be a straight-up battering ram when rules she usually respects get in her way. Her motivation ultimately ends up being centered on justice and protectiveness.
Her ambition comes from a desire to be someone who can make a difference in the world; who can be seen for who she actually is, but also just because she cares. She wants to help people, and she'll use any means she can think of to do so (legal or not, lol)
#hufflpuff also focus on loyalty#but Nancy’s brand of loyalty is more emotionally distant and more action based#than their type#she cares but she certainly isn't the cuddly let people in type#i actually think very few of the hawkins kids are Gryffindor aside from Nancy#so this isn't a they're all brave and therefore Gryffindor thing#dustin is 100% Ravenclaw#steve mike and will are hufflepuff#robin would be Ravenclaw#el... hmm maybe Slytherin#as weird as that sounds she's highly self centric focused just because of the way she was raised#she's not recklessly courageous or particularly friendship based#she cares about HER people and honestly thats about it#the boys are the ones who keep pushing her into the “Hero” role when she just wants to live her life#erica is 100% slytherin#lucas and max however a tricky#I could see them both as Gryffindors#lucas is the protector kind of loyal where as mike is the friendship glue kind of loyal#and max's upbringing taught her to value strength and the image of courage as a shield#she is loyal to any who prove their trustworthiness to her and will fight any monster that stands in her way#she's not out for truth and knowledge or ambition or power#just love#Jonathan is Ravenclaw#some people may be surprised by that choice when he is exceedingly loyal and brave#but look at what he's interested in when he takes photographs and think about how he limits his loyalty to his family and the few they love#he loves watching the world and dissecting it because he likes to understand things#not just to gain anything from it#nancy wheeler#stranger things#i do understand that my opinions on the characters are not the end all be all so if you have other thoughts and takes please share them

The other day when I asked for a few little prompts I got one that’s “Hero of sages finding his first real sword” which is a GREAT idea and I’m excited to write it but the problem is Berry Link gets his sword either shortly before his sisters are kidnapped or shortly after so in order to write how he gets his sword, I have to have some sort of idea of how exactly his sisters get kidnapped and I... haven’t really figured that out yet 😅

whether i’m talking about dreamworks’ or neverafter’s puss in boots, one thing is clear: they both relate to little lion man by mumford and sons.
#puss in boots#pib#neverafter#dimension 20#d20#puss in boots: the last wish#zac oyama#'you are more of a hero than you think. less a trickster i'd say.'#'i will admit i was not as strong as i wish i was. okay?'#it's about wanting to be brave and strong and tricky and capable and projecting that image of yourself#but the guilt from their past actions is very much there and it's the question of#who am i? if i am not this version of myself i put out to people#what's underneath the master con artist who exploits people to be comfortable or the fearless hero that is brave and cunning and independent#what's there? is there anything at all?#damn sorry for the essay but i find this kind of thing so interesting

The Problem with Virginity and Jane Austen
Long post and discussions of sex, non-graphic mention of sexual assault
There was a really thought provoking post by @anghraine which has me thinking about the male heroes and sex in Jane Austen’s novels.
From a modern perspective, I think it can be nicer to imagine that all of the Austen hero men, Darcy, Knightley, Brandon, Wentworth, Tilney, Bingley, Edward, and Edmund, are virgins. After all, they live in a pre-birth control era and syphilis is running rampant. None of us want to imagine Elizabeth’s nose falling off twenty years down the road or Catherine bumping into a very familiar looking child in Woodston village. (and yes, I’m well aware they had some forms of birth control but nothing like today, women were desperate for what we have today, it’s a modern miracle)
I am no sociologist, but I have observed a lot of human behaviour from the present and a lot of sex is had, and unsafe sex too. Teenagers are wild. I also know from church records in the period that many people “anticipated their vows” because there are a miraculous number of babies born within a few months of their parents marrying who live to tell the tale. I also know that London was full of prostitutes and many high and wealthy men had mistresses, sometimes very publically. The navy had problems with homosexual sex (which may have been a social acceptance problem or a rape problem *ahem* modern military) and with a lot of prostitution occuring on shore (source: Brian Southam who wrote a wonderful book called Jane Austen and the Navy) It was a work hard, party hard sort of lifestyle, as we can see below in this Thomas Rowlandson painting:
So the least likely to be a virgin in my mind is Wentworth, with his eight years of success at sea, followed by Brandon, who was stationed abroad in the military, also trying to get over a lost love, and Knightley, based on age alone (he is the oldest at 38).
Now on to the big issue, are we readers wishing virginity on the Jane Austen men for the right reasons? Syphilis and natural children aside, I grew up in a church that pushed the purity gospel and it is not good. It messes people up. They are now writing books about what it did to people. So I don’t want to force puritanical ideals on Jane Austen’s heroes just because I was taught some very harmful rhetoric.
I personally know men who waited for marriage, but they also tended to marry early (22-25). In most churches who teach this message, both men and women marry because they want to have sex (even though we aren’t supposed to do that, I know, it’s very shocking s/). So I can see Edmund and Edward being virgins on their wedding nights because they are both religious and both quite young (plus a secret engagement formed when Edward was 19). Even Bingley might be, though he seems much more out in the world. But the older these men get and still seem indifferent to marrying, I think they are getting something elsewhere. (they may also have low libido, this is very possible and not discussed enough but I can only say so much in one post)
I listened to a lecture once about if Darcy is a virgin which ended with the professor saying, “Of course not, he went to university” and he then explained that a lot of drinking and sex was happening at these places. Now we know Darcy looked down on what Wickham was doing at Cambridge, but was this because Darcy was going about it “the right way” while Wickham was seducing tradesmen’s daughters and servants? Possible too.
It is also possible that some of these Hero Austen men might have a mistress down the road. If you want to have sex, there is always a possibility of having a baby. Lady Bertram, with her perfect four child family, might well have told Sir Thomas to start looking elsewhere. I have read a letter from a woman in this century who sent her husband away because she had five babies in five years and she was done. It’s just a whole different concept than today. There was no “trying” for a baby, you had sex and babies came. But add to that half a family being swept away in sudden illness, you were relying on those extra children to make it to adulthood. Women faced being pregnant constantly for 15-20 years!
So yes, I would like the Austen men to be virgins (and I really think basically all the unmarried women we meet are), but I think it’s a desire heavily influenced by my own upbringing and the Victorian era. Henry Crawford, who is morally dubious but still, completely separates love and sex in his mind. That is something that seems crazy to us today, but the aristocracy at the time seem to share this view. You have a wife, you treat her “right” and you have a mistress on the side. Somehow, in this era, that was accepted as okay.
I agree that Jane Austen probably wasn’t on board with a lot of this, but she also wasn’t privy to those conversations that we would also need to hear to have a full view of the era. Were the men bragging about sexual conquests when the women left after dinner? Was a good husband one who kept a mistress and didn’t let anyone know? Or one who didn’t get the servants pregnant? Or was it good enough not to mess with your own class? (Darcy did not decide to warn the lower class people of Meryton about Wickham, are those women below his notice?) Everyone is horrified by the treatment of Eliza Williams, but if Willoughby had provided a hundred a year for the baby would he be okay? Emma seems to approve of what Harriet’s father has done in her maintenance.
I just don’t know.
#jane austen#virginity is a tricky concept#I was so brainwashed I wouldn't dye my hair because it was virgin and that word basically meant good to me#jane austen heroes#wentworth#darcy#knightley#henry tilney#edmund bertram#edward ferrars#charles bingley#colonel brandon

and you know it is interesting seeing the way different english speaking communities surrounding media marketed towards women and girls will talk about romance
most otome gamers (and i think joseimuke a bit too?) will talk about the MC (main character) and their various LIs (love interests), shoujosei readers who've been in the scene a long time use similar terminology
capital R Romance capital N Novel fans (like think pulpy books with shirtless men on the cover u see in the corner of the dollar store) have a BUNCH of different standards like i used to see H and h (hero and heroine respectively) and nowadays i mostly see MMC and FMC (male main character and female main character) for straight romances and sometimes for gay ones we get like fmc1 and fmc2 type situation, its rare but ive also seen the occasional nbmc here and there
ive been noticing with like korean webnovels and manhwa marketed towards women, the terms FL (female lead) and ML (male lead) are everywhere, sometimes i see second male lead too? i dont know how that would be abbreviated tho....
the japanese live action drama adaptations of shoujosei manga also use the same FL ML style terms, which is interesting compared to the source manga communities who usually use the MC LI terminology instead. watching tv shows is hard for me so i dont know but maybe drama fans use FL ML in general
and speaking of leads, older writing about north american romcom movies used "leading man" and "leading lady" all the time. sometimes you'll also hear me specifically use it to talk about romance media to someone who is not interested in romance media LOL im using language that most laymen understand please have patience with me
but it is my favourite thing when i see one groups terms in another group, like when i see someone say FL in an oldschool shoujo discussion board. hee hee i know u came from the drama adaptations and i love you for it!!! we use different words but we're all here for the love of the game (the game is sparkly stories about fictional characters kissing)
#and slightly out of scope of romantic media marketed towards women and girls#(actually romcoms are also not really that either. whether not they succeed is another question but romcoms are more marketed towards)#(general audiences ive noticed. like at least pre 2009 ones do) (i have not seen a more recent romcom LOL it may be different now)#and into the scope of romantic media marketed towards men: galge often use the terms Hero or MC for the main character#MC is more common now (especially since some galge will have like two MCs and one might be female) and the love interests are usually calle#'heriones' ive noticed. which i think is what vndbs tagging system is based off of - that style of terminology#which sometimes gets tricky otome games and yuri and bl games. but theres other tags to help with that#also can you tell which world i hail from. its romance vns and shoujosei manga LOL thats why i keep saying MC and LI

Bruh Felix and Lila can do similar stuff but the situations are not the same.
One is a creation of Marinette/Ladybug's doing. Absolutely preventable.
The other is the result of Colt Fathom's doing. Unstoppable.
One was Hawk Moth's powered to literally to kiss and become that person.
The other wasn't at all but to screw with everyone.
One was just checking around but to screw with Marinette because Marinette was being ugly.
The other came around visiting at a time of grievance.
Both though were treated as to be rid of by an akumatized.
One hates and has a reason to be against Ladybug and Marinette.
The other one is against Gabriel Agreste
One ends up working with Agreste/Hawk Moth
The other is trying to ensure they can't be erased or life be played with and is discover secrets and gain immunity.
One is connected to most of Marinette's friends or enemies.
The other is in association with upper class friends of Marinette but has no reason to really interact with them.
One ends up being screwed other and plans to set up the downfall of their main enemies without them even knowing.
The other isn't being screwed over and put their trust in what should be the hero.
One doesn't have known anchors yet.
The other seems to have such.
#Also no this Lila being Colts child before getting with Amelie is pretty cringe like all Lila theories smokescreens that put her down#It makes Lila liking Adrien being weird or yucky.#Lila Rossi#Felix Graham de Vanily#plumsaffron#People can do similar but the circumstances can be entirely different#Marino is super connected to Gabi and she has a mother and father. Meanwhile devolution Lila speculators pop in#protagonist out cunned felix when he was in complete control. her common levels of tricky and deception are high for a person who's ladybug#but of course it's usually brushed away cause ou hero side#Proantagonist immunity be like

just remembered I had this old doodle of Momakase and Globby interacting! I think it's funny Momakase tolerates Globby enough to make him sushi, so I wonder what it must have been like for them to be essentially coworkers
#excuse the lined paper#i have almost a whole notebook full of doodles#momakase's wild hair was tricky but i hope i did her justice#this is a few months old iirc#bh6 globby#bh6 momakase#big hero 6: the series#big hero 6 the series#ft globby's raptor hands#my art

If all accurate histories and accounts of your Dragonborn’s deeds were destroyed in the future, what would the cultural consensus on your dragonborn be?
#I know this is entirely unrelated to Christmas but I live for this stuff sey#sry#if my question doesn’t make sense I mean like.#do the people think they are cruel but necessary? a hero of unparalleled skill#a tricky thief with a heart of gold?#what is their impact on the people of skyrim. how are they remembered in the folklore of future decades

The more I learn about them the more I think the heliobi are in the right
#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later#I loved that Jing Yuan pities them#And I love that he talks about the debt that never got paid#ngl I think had it been some other species or some other people with whom the Xianzhou had made the deal#(or had it been some other debt) the debt would have more likely be repaid or at least tried to be repaid somewhat#since the terms of the deal were impossible to fulfill given the circumstances#Definitely keeping them caged as source of energy through millenia doesn't seem the way to go nor how the Xianzhou would have treated#some other people (although they are consistently terrible and prejudiced against the Abundance followers‚#and they don't seem to really forget conflicts)#With how there was a deal that was never (and in exact terms could never be) repaid‚#no wonder the heliobi talk about everyone in the Xianzhou being tricky and untrustworthy lol#I love that Jing Yuan sees their point and understands where they come from‚ and as I said I adore that he sympathies with them#'The hero and their followers would lose their physical bodies for eternity' I imagine he meant just the people fighting#since everyone dying was the cause why the pact was unable to be fulfilled. What did the heliobi gain with this?#Was it the bodies of those they possessed? A flesh body of their own? Is that what the heroes would be giving away?#Their selves for the heliobi to own for all eternity‚ to live in physical form?#I'm loving the heliobi and their struggles with existence haha The pain and suffering and charm of wishes‚ desires‚ emotions and physicalit#The pain and suffering and charm of human life

*clutching my knees, rocking back and forth, choking on tears* you see.... the reason just about every game except abyss got a remaster is.... because there is NO POINT making a remaster for it when they have a REMAKE coming up...... that's why...... that's why........ mark my words.............
#cannot emphasize enough i dont want anything big or amazing graphics or anything like that#i just want it ported to more platforms!!! i can't recommend the game in good conscience while asking people to emulate it!#emulation is tricky and even the most awesome expensive gaming pc can STILL have problems emulating games#because emulation software is finicky like that. i didn't really have that much problems myself but#i would still like something more reliable before telling people to go play the game lol#for heroes there are trials. for saints there are temptations. for me there is queue.

The comments about Olivia Wilde are disgusting. And no one is pushing back on it. I could not belive how bad it was when I saw the replys to that tweet. I mean they act like she fuckin killed people! it's truly insane how women are treated. And you're absolutely right about Brad Pitt and how men are treated in comparison. It makes me so angry
Yeah it makes me angry too. Like, a woman has one public slip-up and suddenly they’re a “snake” “evil” “opportunist” — someone said “oh look she’s smirking because she’s having her moment spotlight with Pedro” what the fuck. Like implying that she, who had already made a name for herself before he even got famous, was posing with him for fame…that’s so crazy. They were just standing next to each other at at event they were both invited to. Makes you realize just how wildly the idea of a gold digger, opportunist woman permeates society.
#idk how Olivia is coping with it tbh. I would be going to therapy twice a week and crying constantly if I saw comments like that#this happened with Amber heard too#like that’s a tricky one and different but#like regardless of what she did the the misogynists vitriol against her was vile#meanwhile Johnny d*pp is hailed as a hero#even tho a court ruled based on evidence that he very much was not#ppl have opinions like they were THERE#when in reality they’re just projecting their sexist assumptions onto the person#ask#anonymous
