me when i cry. me when. me when i sob my eyes out. marvel really had him finally get to his character motivation, he doesn’t wanna be alone, he wants to have his friends, and then????
they say “hey bestie, relive all of these awful things for hundreds if not thousands of years trying to get to a point where you can make things work, come to the slow realization that you can do nothing to get your happy ending, have your last meetings with mobius and sylvie, then sacrifice yourself so that your friends can be happy. and then sit alone at the end of time! :)”
the absolute MAGNITUDE of power that loki wields?? he literally had the multiverse take the form of yggdrasil and he plopped himself in the bottom of it??? he who remains built himself a massive fuck off house and loki is just sittin in the middle of a time-tree watching. WHAT.
Chase x Shadowsan lovers hiiiiiiiii,,, all 3 of us are united. Please consider the dynamic if you haven’t already. Old depressed middle aged man x rage filled depressed middle aged man. The drama. The mutual hatred turned mutual attraction,, the aching need for each other hidden behind resentful stares,, also Devineaux canonically said Shadowsan’s face looked like a lizard’s ass. True love in its purest form
It’s always so funny to me how there’s the hp fandom and how there’s the marauders fandom and how despite all of that
I can’t have a normal conversation with anyone about it irl because we’ve literally created our own dead gay wizard lore starring four chaotic ass men, the badass, feisty ladies (lily evans owns me btw) and this slytherin twink along with his whole slytherin squad and the one ravenclaw everyone loves
(also they are all extremely, irrevocably gay, and also, dorcas and pandora, marry me I’m begging).
But like, I’m so loving it. It’s pretty fucking amazing how much representation we get when we just take matters into our own hands lmao.
Like, canon who? Scrap it, rewrite it and make it the gayest era in hogwarts history. I’m all for it.
Its the voices of fandom collectively joining in together to drown out the injustice that is canon and replace it with our truth I love us we’re so powerful
SHADOWZEL SLOW BURN
"Your queen turned on you, and my Goddess turned on me. Perhaps we have more in common than we dare admit to"
You can get rare additional dialogue you can get if you wait until late Act 2/Act 3 to speak to Shadowheart about her attacking you in the middle of the night in Act 1. (Related to Enemy of Shar path/Orpheus Path)
"At least I know I won't find you atop me the middle of the night now. I mean.... Nevermind, lets consider the matter settled."
5 minutes later:"Don't you dare stop."
A mage (yes I know I love making mage villains of the week, but if they didn't want me to make them all the time, they shouldn't be so fun and full of opportunities) puts a spell on Geralt while he's on a hunt.
He can only speak lies / the complete opposite of what he feels or means to say, and the only way to break the spell is to reveal his darkest secret. This is all well and good and easily fixable, presumably.
The best part is Jaskier has caught on near immediately to what the curse is, and is able to translate all of Geralt's lies and antonyms.
"I don't need more supplies for potions."
"We'll go looking for a greenhouse or whatever you need, then."
"I hate this song."
"Why thank you, Geralt! How lovely to know that opinion is a lie!"
"Can I braid your hair again?"
"Never."
"Perfect!~"
Except for the times he pretends to forget the curse's existence.
"Feed Roach all the apples you want."
"Oh, I shall! Thank you for the permission!"
He did not give permission.
Geralt just deals with the curse for a month or two, before being fed up and deciding to just trust the mage's so-called cure for the curse, and says his darkest secret.
That he's in love with Jaskier.
However, he's neglected to find a way to explain the cure to Jaskier, and now Jaskier just assumes he's heard another lie / complete opposite.
Jaskier is heartbroken, assuming Geralt must dislike him at the least, and hate him at the worst, and suddenly all those teasing comments over the years are seen in a new worrying light. I mean, Geralt, cursed to say the exact opposite of what he means telling Jaskier that he loves him?
Jaskier races away from their shared room and gets absolutely wasted in a tavern all the way across town.
Geralt paces and panics alone in their shared room for a few hours before going and returning his bard back home.
He now has to spend the entire night internally-writing and rehearsing his big explanation speech and apologize to his bard for the miscommunication.
heiji "bro you had a rough time fighting terrorists on an airship let me treat you to a chill night at my house where you dont have to pretend, let you sleep in and treat you to dinner at a restaurant close to the train station so you dont have to stress"
