I Love thunder storms and the reminder I am here alive in a crazy world where weather happens but also I am here. I am here right now. The storm is making sure I know it. Love that

#I love it cos storms are like woooah mad wild #but also it’s JUST a thunder storm #like as long as u follow very basic safety Ur fine like you can even go outside it’s safe but a bit wet #the people I lived with were such arseholes to me when there was a storm cos I didn’t like hide away #I was like wow so pretty I’m gonna make a drink and sit by the window!#and they were acting like their week was completely ruined by some dark clouds and because I didn’t join them in being miserable #I literally remember being in a cot in my brothers room. and being fascinated by a storm #so I’d have been like 2? cos I didn’t have a room of my own #last year was wild if just always have people taking out their anger in me for the dumbest fucking reasons bro I’m just trying to exist #anyway hayfever is not killing me today I’m happy:)#there isn’t a storm but I was thinking abt how thrilling they r

So, your Clear Sky post is absolutely horrifying, but it was very needed, so thank you. What are your general thoughts on tackling his abuse for the AU? Like you've said, pretending he's a good guy is not the way to go, but are you planning on toning down *some* of the situations, just to give some of the cats a break? Clear Sky is a very realistic depiction of abusers, but that seems to come across even without victim number 25, yknow? I'm very curious about how you'd like to go about this.

My most recent big change was bringing Slash back into the fold, because I realized that it was actually a disservice to not address where DOTC's themes dip into Colonialism. It's a hard topic, and I'm still trying to work out the details, but I realized it was important.

With how BB!DOTC is such a MASSIVE overhaul, to properly address abuse and the ways it impacts you, ableism and its violence, and xenophobia broadly, a huge reworking of Slash belonged here too. He's one of the greatest examples of how badly WC demonizes non-Clanborn cats. I shouldn't dance around it.

That's what I need to do with Skystar.

MANY of his victims have happier endings than canon, though. Bumble is one of the most famous, bumped up into a major character and directly responsible for the formation of ThunderClan. Bright Storm is taking most of Gray Wing's roles. Birch and Alder are getting examined, with either a father who wants his kids back or Milkweed as the mate of Misty.

A lot of people will die because of him, even more will be hurt, but I see BB!DOTC as a story about victims and survivors.

Others might grab POVs here and there, but as a response to canon which I feel is Clear Sky's story told in many parts, I center this rewrite around Thunder Storm. The path of kindness he marches down, with love and with anger, and the people he helps.

So BB!Star Flower...

Previously I was playing her as ENTIRELY just manipulating Clear Sky. She was loyal to One Eye and trying to get at Skystar to bleed him dry for 8 lives to sacrifice; but connected to Thunderstar over recognizing him as a victim who deserves her idea of justice. So, she offers Thunderstar the final kill, so her father will be grateful to him and he'll get power AND the death of his abuser.

(When Thunderstar looks upon Skystar, pathetic and neutralized down to one life, he thinks about the collateral damage that will descend upon the forest if he accepts the deal. He decides that he has found the line between Justice and Justification. Of course he wants the power to make his enemies cower, protect his people, and eliminate Clear Sky so he never threatens them again; that's not the problem.

He can still do these things. He wouldn't NEED the power of a war god to do so.

But if One Eye returns, he will be endlessly hungry, ruthlessly dedicated to revenge, and set out to devour the whole forest. Everything would get worse, and even more people he loves would die. It's where his desire to destroy a monster would lead to him BECOMING one.)

Even on its face, it was previously missing an element. There's a step between "Starf decides to bring One Eye back" and "Starf offers Thunderstar the final kill" that was bare. This is the piece that was missing-- That she, herself, is trying to reach out to the only person who's ever really understood her.

But more importantly... I do feel this topic belongs here, in BB!DOTC. Abuse is a MAJOR theme. SKYSTAR is a monster already. He's harmed two wives in BB (Bright Storm and Falling Cry) and played toxic games with all three kits (Thunder Storm, Pale Sky, Tiger Sky).

And I'd avoid Star Flower being abused... why? Because it's uncomfortable to confront the pattern that Clear Sky displays? That in-canon, he tries to cut all his victims into the same ideal shape, from Storm to Thunder to Star Flower? ...it should be uncomfortable. Everything that I described in Clear Sky Is A Monster is rooted in the same desire for control, power, and punishment most abusive people share, he just happens to be a severe example.

Yes. That includes how he treats his child and romantic partners. The parallels that are drawn between Starf and Thunder are there because he wants power in the form of obedience. Starf replaces the son as a narrative award for his "growth" of not killing random people anymore for a while.

A cookie cutter is an effective tool because IT ONLY MAKES ONE SHAPE.

You know what's more uncomfortable? Reading canon!DOTC and seeing someone who hurt you reflected almost perfectly in the character the writers think did nothing wrong. Because of "good intentions" that were not there.

I will say though, just to be clear; I don't see a purpose in being more than PG-13 about serious topics for this project. I promise none of my intentions have changed. Nothing will be more graphic or gorey than canon WC-- just more intentional.

I'm keeping the sacrifice because it's dope. No one is taking this from me. Girl Moment: Killed her awful husband 8 times to count as 8 sacrifices and offered the last life to her buddy as a show of good will. How else do you make friends outside of high school

But I know now that Star Flower NEEDS to keep the canon fact she has very little agency, UNTIL that moment she snaps.

She's sacrificing one abuser to try and bring back a bigger, badder one, because in spite of everything, her father One Eye always made her feel safe. Even though he promised her off to Skystar, and expected her to be willing to die for him. She's followed every command, every order, past the death of his mortal vessel.

The first, and only, selfish choice she's ever made was in reaching out to Thunderstar to offer him the power of her father.

Thunderstar's Justice is a story about a Thunder Storm at the pinnacle of his arc, how the survivors of his Clan are settling into the new normal after the carnage of The First Battle, how Skystar's arrogance brings a violent god to the Forest... and the connection Thunderstar makes with the daughter of a monster.

#Kronk meme: ''Oh Yeah. It's all coming together''#I'll be making the fragments in another post #Just because this one's getting really long #It works well as an explanation of my intentions #I think I had been making a mistake previously to conceive of BB!Starf as a femme fatale who seduced Sky #Again: I'm not perfect! As I analyze and re-read with a more critical eye. My art changes.#Tho I will admit I do like the idea of a Starf who is totally cognizant of how she can manipulate a villain #Into doing what she wants. I do love myself a powerful and scheming woman #It's that it didn't fit my story or my themes OR even the purpose of BB as a fixit that addresses canon #Better bones au #BB!DOTC #BB!Star Flower #BB!Skystar #BB!Thunder Storm #Also imo this philosophy will let me make BB!One Eye what I think he deserves and works best as #THE WORSE OF TWO EVILS #The Tyrant of Tyrants #And man.... the idea that Skystar becomes the Clan patron of war...#The God of Summer laughs at him.#''Outdone and reeling your wounded pride speaks the words your tender mouth can never say''#''That you were outclassed and now you obsess over the bigger monster you aren't good enough to become''#''You fell into the step of a lion and think you can replicate what my paw does without effort.''#Cw abuse #Tw abuse #Abuse #Child abuse

Wille's Month 2024 (@youngroyals-events ) Day 2: Summer

Read the drabble below or on ao3 (cw for implied sex)

Wille sleeps peacefully until about 2 am, when the first flash wakes him up. He blinks, a bit disoriented, barely noticing how the room keeps brightening for a split second before the darkness returns.

It isn’t rare for him to wake up in the middle of the night, but usually it’s because he had a nightmare.

Those nights, he curls himself into Simon's side, burying his face in his curls and inhaling his scent, to try and calm his rapid heartbeat down. Sometimes, Simon wakes up and they'll talk, Simon pressing Wille against him, smoothing his hair and whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Other times, when Simon is too fast asleep, he still responds by wrapping his arm around Wille, because somehow, he still knows. As if his body is simply attuned to Wille, the way it responds to his every subtle shift.

But tonight Wille hasn’t startled awake because of a nightmare - in fact, he was having the most pleasant dream he's had in a while, of running up cobblestone streets lined with soft yellow and pink houses. The Mediterranean sun shining down on them, but not outshining Simon’s warm smile next to him.

There’s another flash, and then Wille hears the first roar of thunder, and his brain slowly starts to catch up with what’s happening.

Wille lets his head fall back down to the pillow, groaning. Great.

A thunderstorm. Exactly what he needs.

Heavy drops of rain start hammering against the window, as if now that Wille’s awake, the sky can unleash its full power. Or maybe he’s only aware of it now, now that he’s fully conscious.

Of course, Simon’s still fast asleep beside him, arm flung over Wille’s torso. How Simon manages to sleep through the roaring storm outside, Wille has no idea. It’s nights like this where Wille wishes he had Simon’s skill to sleep through almost anything.

With a heavy sigh, Wille gets up from his side on the bed, carefully removing Simon’s arm from his chest, and goes to the bathroom to get himself a glass of water.

Lightning lights up the room in short intervals, occasionally followed by thunder, sometimes by just silence – but it’s non-stop. The rain is loudest of all.

It’s not like he’s scared of thunderstorms – they’re a common occurrence in summer, and usually, he even likes them. He loves to watch lightning streak across the sky high above them, huddling up inside with Simon and being very glad that he’s not outside. He even loves the thunder, imagines Thor riding his chariot in the sky and smashing his hammer.

It reminds him of afternoons chasing Erik through the palace in a never-ending game of tag because they couldn’t play outside, of staying up way past his bedtime to finish just one more chapter (it was never just one more chapter).

But tonight, he wishes for nothing more but the storm to pass. He already has trouble enough falling asleep as it is, and the continuous flashes, heavy rain and rolling thunder won’t help with that.

Defeated, knowing that he probably won’t get much sleep tonight now, he lets himself fall back onto the mattress. Simon stirs beside him, and for a second Wille holds his breath, afraid that he’s woken his boyfriend up. But Simon simply turns to his side, murmuring something incomprehensible, and it looks like Wille’s in the clear.

Then there’s a thunderclap so loud that it shakes the windows, rattles their building even, and with a gasp, Simon jolts up.

“What was that?” It comes out in one singular, panicked breath.

“Just a thunderstorm, darling,” Wille says from where he’s sprawled out behind Simon. Simon’s eyes, unfocussed at first, soften when they find his. Wille reaches out to him, eases him back down so that Simon’s lying on his chest, huddled in the warmth between their bodies. “Nothing to worry about.”

“Did it wake you up too? Or did you have another nightmare?” Simon places a warm hand on his chest, just above where Wille’s heart beats for him.

Wille winds one of Simon’s curls around his finger, and hums. “No, it was just the storm. I actually had a good dream tonight, so it’s even ruder that it woke me up.”

He can already see Simon’s eyes getting heavy again, now that the initial shock of adrenaline has passed.

“Whatwasitabout?” Simon mumbles.

“We were on vacation. In Italy, I think. Maybe Spain – somewhere south. We’d just come back from the beach, and there was salt stuck in your curls, and I was thinking about how we’d go back to our rental,” Wille stops playing with Simon’s curls to run his hand along his back, “and shower, and I would wash the salt out of your curls. But then I figured, if there’s salt in your curls, there’s probably salt in other places as well, so maybe I should clean that up too.”

Simon laughs softly. “You are very thorough in your cleaning.”

Simon opens his eyes for a brief second, but the sleep in his eyes has gone, replaced by something else. Something hungry.

“Maybe we can make your dream come true.”

“What? You want to go to Italy? Right now?” It’s not like Wille doesn’t know what Simon’s talking about, but he likes to tease him, likes to play just a bit dumb.

Simon groans, half-heartedly. “Wille,” he says, drawing out his name. “’m talking about the other part.”

“Ooh.” Wille raises his eyebrows in faked understanding and giggles. “Well, I’m sure we can arrange that.”

Before Simon can say anything else, Wille scoops him up in his arms and carries him to the shower. It’s not like Wille was ever going to get much sleep tonight, and this certainly is way more fun.

The thunder is loud outside, but not as loud as Simon when he screams out Wille’s name, over and over again.

crack where shang qinghua is The God Of This World but it's just really inconvenient.

He tries to write a gripping tale of betrayal and adoration and it turns out to be a one-to-one account of drama from a few centuries ago. Speculative fiction gets confirmed to be real when three days after publishing old documents are unearthed that support each and every concept he introduced.

Shang Qinghua becomes known as the no. 1 historian and he hates every single moment of it.

One time he brings his works to the publishers, and nobody comes and says that it's real. It goes on the markets as romantic fiction, everything's nice and well and Shang Qinghua has almost relaxed when --

It happens word for word practically before his eyes and he is louded as a seer of unheard proportions.

(In the background, you can hear faint wheezing. Don't worry, it's just Shen Qingqiu. He hasn't stopped laughing in hours.)

#svsss #shang qinghua #scum villain #scumbag system #poor airplane #he just wants to write a cheap bodice ripper but the world has to make it hard for him #(also thunder storms have taken out my wifi and the replacement is. bad. ill respond to the prompts later)#(they look amazing so far btw)#:D

Why do you love the Legend of Zelda? What first drew you to it?

Honestly, i just love Link lmao

Twilight Princess was the first Zelda i tried to play as a kid, meaning i begged my big bro to play until he got to a wolf part and i would play that bit. And when he refused to play for me, i tried to play by myself but never got very far because i didn't understand english and i just wasn't very good at the game.

So that was my first exposure to LoZ and my next Zelda experience would come +10 years later and it would be my downfall.

I bought my Switch late 2018 when Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu/Eevee came out and later when i was looking for more games to buy, i came across BOTW and went "Hey, i know that guy". I was intrigued by the open world aspect and the game just looked really fun so i bought it, played it and fell in love.

Eventually through BOTW i found LU and all the other AUs im reading and the brainrot has been real ever since. I've also bought more Zelda games and thanks to my switch membership i have access to the older games, but i've only finished Link's Awakening, ALBW, BOTW and Minish Cap lol. So many things to do, never enough time.

#ask #ofc there's also other things and characters i love #but Link is just one of the most blorbos ever #i also tried to play TP as a teen but again never got too far #i ran into some helmasaurs and couldn't figure them out #so i just threw my hands up and said 'fuck this game and fuck this wii' lol #also at one point i bought a used gameboy advance from a friend plus a bunch of games #and there was alttp + four swords combo #obviously i couldn't play four swords but i did try alttp #problem was that i couldn't see shit thanks to the thunder storm at the beginning 'cuz there's no lights on the gameboy screen #and no matter how i tried to position my table light i just could not see anything so i gave up on that too lmao

thunderstorm whump

A Whumper with a Whumpee who's afraid of storms makes a fake weather radar to make Whumpee think that the storms outside are going to be way worse than they actually are so Whumpee is worried and waiting for the storms to get worse 🙏🙏

Whumpee is afraid of storms and gets anxious even at the sight of dark clouds

Whumper making Whumpee stay tied up outside/in a doghouse during a severe storm

Whumper has to briefly untie Whumpee to relocate themselves to a safer area during a severe storm

Whumper leaves Whumpee to fend for themselves while they take shelter from a storm

Paranoid Whumpee thinks that the flashing of lightning outside is someone taking pictures of them through their window

Whumpee tries to escape during a storm and ends up taking shelter under the first covering they see, sitting under it soaked and shivering and covered in mud until Whumper finds them and takes them back

Whumpee escapes during a storm and knocks on the first door they see, well aware that they look insane with all of the mud, grass, leaves, etc stuck to them

Rain falling so quickly that it hurts when it makes impact on skin

Whumpee getting their fingers crushed by a heavy metal storm shelter door, either accidentally or on purpose by Whumper

A rescued Whumpee who's afraid of storms getting unintentionally exposure-therapy'd out of the fear because of the sheer amount of storms where they live

#no im not afraid of storms what are you talking about thats definitely not the inspiration for this why would you even say that #the storms rlly are keeping me up im shaking in my boots #in case anyone was wondering i totally have mistaken thunder for the flash of a camera outside my window #im just perpetually scared like that 🫶#the unintentional exposure therapy one also happened to me but the fear isnt fully gone 😭 it's just not as bad #anyway thats enough tags that nobody cares about #whump #whump prompt #whump prompts #whump writing #whump idea #whump blog #whump scenario #tw whump #whump tw #writing

Alright my lovelies. I will be gone for like two weeks (which feels like forever in wrestling internet time) because of adult life. Just wanted to let my mutuals know because I would be worried if some of them disappeared 🙈

Anyway, love you all, behave and I better come back to a lot of bangers from Dynasty.

#Also if a certain dentist #Wants to interrupt the Thunder Rosa vs. Toni Storm match #I will NOT object to that #Totally not looking at Britt but looking at Britt.#But not getting my hopes up #(Totally getting my hopes up for them to be inevitably crushed because that woman has an injury that is apparently imposed by Satan himself #and. just. won’t. heal)#Anyway #See you and love you all

so solace and corentin are siblings? were they separated? if one is with wyll who is the other with?

They are! Solace barely survived Corentin attacking the family when their dark urge awakened, and was taken in by the Temple of the Open Hand because their mother had been going there regularly and the priests had been helping Tin try to keep things under control. Solace was 10, Tin was 15, and they had a 13 year old sister who didn't make it.

Corentin doesn't remember the attack because of a mixture of trauma and purposeful efforts by the Bhaalists, and I don't think they ever truly get the memories of their family back. They put the prices together eventually, though. Solace remembers the attack vividly and was conscious enough to see the direct aftermath when Corentin came to. They're actually the reason she survived: Tin threw one of the many healing potions placed around their house at her and screamed out the window for help before the Butler dragged them away. It's...complicated for Solace and I don't think he'd ever be able to forgive them (which Corentin never expected or asked for), but eventually they're able to move around each other to some degree. They're also working on elf time so by the time they settle into that pattern and make their peace very few people who saw the very beginning of all of that post-game are alive, so the way they interact around each other instead of directly is kinda just accepted as the Way Things Are among the folks in the city who notice.

I haven't decided who Solace is gonna go for yet. I was thinking about Gale but I'm not sure; they might be a no-romance run, honestly. I've got active playthroughs for all of the romances but Gale and Minthara at the moment. Wyll would actually be a good fit for them I think, but I'm not sure if the "both siblings survive" timeline will be the canon one in my head since durge dies if you're not playing as them, and the idea of Solace finding Tin's body after fighting Orin is intriguing to me. I'm not going to touch their playthrough much until I've finished Corentin's and/or gotten further in Candor and Luka's first though, so I have time to decide lol

#their mother had grown up in a different bhaalist...compound? commune? enclave? than the one we see in-game #and fled to baldur's gate without knowing there was a temple there too. tbh i think part of the reason she picked that city #was b/c of gorion's ward #she didn't know she was pregnant with tin at the time but figured out what they were pretty quickly after they were born #solace was terrified of thunder & lightning for years after the attack (tin's a storm sorcerer)#but kinda just naturally/accidentally? became a tempest cleric #because they were processing everything & training to be a cleric at the same time #it also took them several years to truly feel comfortable at the temple #the moment they truly settled into the tempest domain marks that shift #they'd been trained w/ the intention of becoming a life domain cleric but it just. wasnt clicking #because that's just not how they interact with their god or faith #personality *or* experience-wise #they've always been restless and loud and trying to tamp that down (it didn't seem close to anyone's vibe but father lorgan's in-g #*game) just didn't work #even roses have thorns after all #anyway. ramble done lol #thank you for the ask!!#bg3 #asks #solace riadyr #corentin #the prodigal saer #bg3 tav #bg3 durge #(solace uses he/she/they)#tin settled into an 'older sibling' role with orin pretty quickly #and solace was a little shit (affectionate) to the others in the temple in the way youngest siblings tend to be #the more things change the more they stay the same lol
