When I write novels with characters who have my flaws they always spiral and get worse and destroy themselves and that seems completely and utterly inevitable. but when I write dnd characters who have my flaws they kind of just. can't. like they are one of the heroes they have to be pro-social they need to do well and improve and level up. and they have a built in support network to make it easier. this post was supposed to be a metaphor about isolation or something but I've lost my point

War AU x Second Love
Lmao Sam this is literally the plot to the Nandopoleon AU this exists in my head 😭😭
So Fernando is Napoleon, right? And Napoleon had two wives, right? Mark is his first love(i.e. Josephine), older than him, and who he is deeply in love with but has to divorce because Mark can't really provide anything(i.e. no political advantages, infertile, etc.) So Fernando needs to make a political marriage. And who does he marry! The young son of one of the most prominent monarchies in Europe: Lance, Archduke of Austria.
Lance is very resistant to this at first of course. All grumpy like, "Dad, why do you want me to marry the guy who just defeated us in four separate wars. He's literally beaten us since practically my birth, and now I have to marry him? Yuck." Both him and Fernando come into the marriage with bad expectations, Lance despising Fernando for all he represents and Fernando viewing Lance as just a means to an end. But Lance fits in to the kingdom very well and Fernando comes to adore him and pamper him all the time. And suddenly Lance to his father is all like, "the Emperor is great actually 🥰 I was so wrong 🥰"
Meanwhile Mark is just forced to the side, and has to watch while Fernando's love for him diminishes, and his love for Lance grows. They still talk a lot and spend time together, but Mark is constantly sniping at Fernando about his new "wife."
I think Lance would stick by Fernando's side during his exile and subsequent return. He grows to be more loyal to Fernando than to his own family and original kingdom. And even though Fernando originally just views him as a means to an end, he eventually lets Lance fight alongside when they are eventually drawn back into war. Maybe in this AU, he actually wins 😔

video called "pirate shirt tutorial that actually makes sense" with a thumbnail clickbaitingly copying bernadette banner's style, which does the exact same thing as bernadette banner's video but more confusingly and without a diagram in the video itself, also failing to understand that bernadette banner's channel is primarily a history channel and not a sewing tutorial channel so telling people they don't have to hand-sew the pirate shirt or they don't have to thread-pull is unnecessary because bernadette banner literally said "do this however you want, i just do it this way because it's how i learn about historical dress practices" in her own video. couldn't ask for better youtube entertainment

Once again going over my old stories I wrote 10+ years ago and the way I write young teens interacting with adults, specifically teachers really shows how awful my school experience was....

Tamaki start of college having epiphanies…Haruhi: “oh wow we’re really all gay I guess people do find each other” and he is like “Haruhi? Do you think that I’m gay?” “Well I guess bisexual, or do you prefer pansexual? you like people of all genders, or regardless?” “I… I never really thought about it.”
it’s a whole thing for him to process… he summons the whole group “you may be surprised to hear this, but I am gay.”
they are like ?????? “Tamaki you were like our gay awakenings you’re the one that made people feel okay about these things”
they each slowly realize he had absolutely no idea, montage of every gay thing he’s ever done… he is like what? but isn’t that what being best friends is like? recall all his statements about being yourself and loving what you love so on so forth, status on the ruling opinion of Tamaki chart turns from respect and admiration to… this guy is an idiot… etc etc and he is like what I had no idea, whole crisis
he recalls this moment he is like “acknowledging who you are, having the courage to admit what you love… isn’t that what it means to be strong?”
“Thank you past me, you are a genius!”
also kaoru is the one that came out Tamaki just somehow made it about him and then it ends up being about all of them… “I continue to learn more about myself… I truly am a man of great depths! I know! We should celebrate! A party to mark the birth of a new, more realized me!”
realizations happening ->
