So this is pretty much confirmation that both the Traveler and the Archons are mirroring the dragons, then, although you've got to wonder when the Archons' mirroring started. Did they have a separate fighting style and moveset before the gnoses/elemental authority? Would Zhongli, Venti, and Ei start using it again if they gave up their elemental authority like Focalors did, and would Nahida develop her own? Was the mirroring a deliberate decision, or was it a gradual subconscious change? Does the elemental authority(s) have a consciousness that deliberately influenced them to change how they fought?

A Bone to Pick (Chapter Preview)

(Shadowpeach shippers I am serving crumbs on a silver platter, come and eat!)

“Macaque, what exactly are you—?” Before Wukong could finish the question, Macaque had dashed over to The Not-Mayor and, with the evilest grin possible, punched the still-downed man in the gut. The lapdog spat out some blood and what little breath he had in his lungs upon impact, before rocketing down the tunnel and out of the cave.

“Holy whoa!” Bai He smiled.

“Guess we’re doing this now, huh?” Mei asked with a lazy grin.

Macaque sighed happily. “That felt nice… that felt real nice.” He then turned to the others with a casual grin. “Keep up guys,” and then he sank into the shadows. No doubt chasing after the man he just punched.

“Y’know,” Pigsy crossed his arms, “I forgot fer a second he’s about as old as Monkey King and almost as strong.”

“Well, Team B is moving out!” Mei started jogging ahead, with Sandy and Pigsy right behind her. “You guys better go catch up with Mac-Attack. Don’t want him to accidentally flatten Zhongyu, you know?”

Tang spared one last glance to Team A. “Try not to get electrocuted.” Then, with one last odd glance at Monkey King, he was running to catch up with the others.

MK exchanged a look with PB and Bai He. “You two ready?”

“You bet I am!” PB grinned eagerly.

From her spot piggybacking on PB, Bai He gave a familiar-looking evil grin to MK. “I’ve been wanting to do this all day.”

“Great! Monkey King are you—Monkey King?” The trio turned to see the Great Sage standing with wide-eyed amazement, staring at the spot where Macaque had just disappeared. His tail was wagging slightly, his cheeks were a little pink, and his fur looked fluffier for some reason.

MK reached over and shook the king’s shoulder. “Monkey King?”

“Nothing!” Monkey King shouted, looking panicked.

“Huh? I didn’t say anything but your name.” MK raised a brow.

“Oooh, fluffy.” PB reached over and patted Monkey King’s head like he was a kitten, marveling at his new fluffy fur texture. “How’d your fur get so fluffy, Mr. King?”

Face even redder, Monkey King swatted her hand away. “Let’s talk about something else, anything else really.”

“How come you look so nervous and sweaty right now?” Bai He asked.

“… Anything else besides that.”

“Well we can either talk about kicking Zhongyu’s butt, or we could actually go kick it.” MK gestured towards the exit. “Which do you prefer?”

Monkey King sighed a bit, before smiling. “Actually kicking his but…”

“Great! Then le-go!” MK charged out of the cave, drawing his staff out. PB took off behind him, Bai He giggling in excitement. Monkey King hesitated a bit, waiting to make sure they were far enough away before he frantically started patting and combing his orange fur back into place.

He decided, pointedly, to not examine what just happened to him until after The Not-Mayor was no longer a problem… but that didn’t mean the butterflies in his stomach were going away anytime soon.

Swindle is a fantastic character archetype who’s engaging in just about every continuity. A low-down dirty no-good rotten cheating stealing worm is fun to read, write and watch, which makes it all the more baffling when people get him so, so wrong in fics

#dis.txt #LIKE we’re constantly ping-ponging between #bizarre misty-eyed fantasising over sex work #that veers directly into misery tourism 90% of the time #and antisemitism #is nobody interested in writing like #a heist???#id LOVE a heist

Idk if they touch on younger house canonically I'm only on season 5 but. Yeah obv House getting a full ride through med school or his parents paying for it but. That's a Lot of money Especially for a career his dad seems to openly dislike, and House never mentions having debt even though if he did he Would and he would Never pay that debt out of Spite Alone. So. Perhaps. Military Dad forced him to enlist (maybe threatening to keep House from seeing his mom? Something House couldn't steal/abandon/get around) and House did a few years of service and had the military pay for his education. No one would believe him if he said he was in the military (except Maybe Wilson 💅) and he never brings up his time in the military.

#house md #What if he had a friend in his platoon that was in a similar situation to House. Smart guy. Wanted to be an engineer #But then there was an attack on the base. The friend got partially blown up lost a leg and some brain function. Got discharged #House saw him off even if his friend didn't recognize him anymore. He saw the side-eyed looks #He saw the friend's mother - who refused to look at her son directly - wheel him to the family car to move back into his childhood home #Because there were only two choices. His shitty parents or a ward. And he couldn't even choose that for himself anymore #(yeah House not wanting to lose a leg is rational but what if I Made It Worse)#hilson #Just a little tho

still REALLY funny and interesting to me that they made the first three archons visibly reminiscent of herrschers from honkai. changed the format a little for nahida and rukkhadevata for the purposes of theresa and kallen parallels, but they've been holding onto the herrscher of binding's corpse so it's like by association. it's fine. but then we get to fontaine and hyv goes what the hell is a herrscher

#personal stuff #delete later #LIKE!!!! there are theories!! but the fact that the resemblence isn't INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS like most of them are is like. so funny #cause zhongli ei and nahida all share vas with their herrscher counterparts!!#and though venti and wendy don't share a va. both of them have voiced other characters #while furina's va hasn't voiced anyone from a honkai game before so she really is just. new!#which is really interesting in terms of like. her possibly being the first archon that isn't or isn't directly related to the og archons #since we have no idea what her connection to the lord of amrita is or how she got her gnosis #did the previous hydro archon leave it behind in fontaine? did she take it with her to sumeru?#if so was someone with her to take it back to fontaine or did someone go to the vourukasha oasis after the cataclysm ended?#cannot Wait to find out

The marvelous Korydass (@cfcreative's Tav) effortlessly wrangling the most rambunctious of companions with ease! I've been wanting to try and draw a less humanoid humanoid and this darling dragonborn seemed like fun!

Based off of the tags in this post about the venerable Druid!

Drawing the tail twiching about stressfully was a fun little nod to how you can't read her emotions unless you get tail language in Act 1 Also the legs were so much fun to draw! Like!! Way easier than plantigrade feet! (I still don't know what a patina is)

#bg3 #bg3 fanart #bg3 tav #she's not my tav!!!!!#Dragon borns are really fun to draw the tail and stuff #it speaks directly to my brain for some reason #like the teeth #Korydass is very much a fav like go look at her art #ALSO she has so much lore and its all fun like the green eyed woods are ya kidding me??#That's so cool!!#also also I wanna draw her wildshaping like an animation but i'll ask first before i do that #ALso she's like 7ft which is amazing slay!

harringrove canon divergent au where billy still targets and bullies steve and steve gets fed up and he's like "who hurt you billy damn" and billy actually rears back and spooks cuz no one's ever really pinpointed that he's hurting (and lashing out).

billy kinda goes in for one last punch that steve dodges and he's like "fuck you harrington" and steve watches his retreating back and he's like "shit is he actually hurting?" and then he starts lowkey asking max things about their home life that he starts to find sus. starts getting worried about billy and max at home. starts asking uncomfortable questions when billy goes to try to bully him again, which only leads to billy yelling at him to stop asking his sister questions and then avoiding him altogether.

eventually steve puts the pieces together and forms his own opinions after seeing neil hargrove out and about, and the next time billy comes to school with a black eye but his knuckles suspiciously clean and unbruised, he sits down beside him during a private moment and again he asks, "who hurt you billy?"

when billy cant look at him in the eye or respond, steve's heart sinks.

#rei rambles #stranger things #billy hargrove #steve harrington #harringrove #it's just. it never happens in real life *especially* when youre lashing out but. it's nice when people notice you're not okay.#during his lil investigation steve asks joyce if neil's ever shown up at her store and what she thinks of him #which tips off her mom senses lol and she becomes eagle eyed about the hargrove-mayfield siblings #rei writes #uh kinda #this is inspired by the post i reblogged directly before this where dacre says #after playing billy he's found himself trying to practice more empathy toward bully types bc theyre usually bullying for a reason #which is extra cool of him cuz he mentions he was bullied a lot as a kid.#he's such a good role model

one day julian brings a dartboard home and tries to get Lim to play with him. both as a way of improving his monocular depth perception but also as a Fun father-son bonding activity to reminder of his ds9 days. he never lets him win. but he underestimates what a hypercompetitive stubborn asshole his child is.. whenever Lim visits one of his siblings he goes to the local bars and pretends to be a novice then wins drinks for everyone in his party

#dee s 9 #garashir adoption au #lim left handed one eyed overhand throwing ass #julians like ah its all just fun and games and learning not about winning!#lim: i am going to put this dart directly into the boards skull #garak thinking sadly to himself. he would have been an excellent marksman #ONE day lim will beat julian. and on that day he can officially die happy.#ezri: YOU DON'T LET YOUR 10 YEAR OLD SON BEAT YOU AT DARTS?#julian: ??? no??? why would I?

Okay but since we're doing this, let's talk about...

Orin and Parsee's insecurities :D

I find it funny how you picked two people who couldn't be farther apart on the insecurity scale. But let's start with the cat.

This one is very secure in most of the important things. Secure in her relationships with the people she considers important (Satori and Okuu first and foremost, but there are others on this list too, like Chen), secure in her position at Satori's right hand, secure in her strength. There's not a lot she's insecure about at all. So much so that I'm having difficulty thinking of anything. I suppose she'd still have the basic human fear of death, but she's pretty sure she'd get a good afterlife, at least. She's been a good kasha.

This one on the other hand is, in some ways, made of insecurities. Even disregarding her well known ability to be envious of anyone and everything, she's simultaneously scared of losing anyone she cares about, and completely convinced she doesn't deserve them anyway. And she knows she'll hurt them, so even the people she likes, she keeps at arm's length for their own good. Because she doesn't want to hurt them, but she knows it'll happen. She can't help herself. Her opinion of herself is even lower than the Underground itself, and she's also prone to lashing out just because.

It doesn't help that, at least in my headcanons, there is a literal green-eyed monster in her head that finds nothing more fun than belittling and mocking her for anything she does or thinks. You know the idea of brain goblins? Imagine that, but literally, and to the point where you can even summon them physically to help out in danmaku battles. Yeah. Not good for the mental health.

#muse: orin #muse: parsee #muse: green-eyed monster #oh yeah did you know she's around #Satori being basically the only one who can directly talk to the monster is part of why I think she gets along with Parsee better than most
