Rewatch of the Mandalorian Chapter 21, the Pirate:

Don’t smack talk Greef’s fashion sense!

“He shot first” heheh

aww Greef is starting to get worried

Dammit Nevarro! Just when you were looking more than ever like Los Angeles with those little purple flower things and all the ficus trees!

Nevarran fashion is a lil… medieval? Fancy hats.

I need to download the song for the New Republic bar because it lowkey slaps

It’s this guy! Captain Teva! His casual outfit is pretty cool.

For everyone who has seen Rebels, I wish you a very happy Zeb

Dammit Coruscant. Why do you have a brutalist sector?

Oh THIS BITCH awwww NO Elia Kane you just need to not be here, dude

But Tim Meadows my beloved!!! I had no idea he was in this season! I enjoy his vexation

Elia Kane quit stalking people you freaking creep! I hate her, she’s so good at this.

Love her evil-ass music too. Stop being eeeevil

And then Solas the protocol droid led Greef Karga the Herald to a hidden castle in the wilderness after the fall of Haven/Nevarro — oh wait, no, my Dragon Age feels go over there

Seriously, the Nevarrans look like Catherine, Called B-Wing

… I don’t remember how Carson Teva knew that Din knew Greef, really, but he’s so likable I don’t mind

Who you calling “blue boy”, PAZ???

R5 vindication! And also getting back at Din ahahaha

I cannot help but adore the Mandalorian Talking Hammer, that is so perfect for them

“The foundling in your charge” fuck, Din, you should be saying “MY SON” you fucker

“I’m in no position to ask” he asked, Darksaberwieldingly

“Our children” WELL YOU’RE GETTING CLOSER ANYWAY

I really thought Paz was gonna go off and then he did and I was like “ho shit, Paz character development? All righty then!”

What stake did the Armorer have in this? She didn’t try to sway them one way or the other? Does she have an ulterior motive?

Grogu still comes for every mission, yesss

Love Bo’s speech! All right, while I miss Din tremendously this season, I’m loving the season of Bo on its own merits. Also, how weird is it to see the Armorer in a ship? it’s like when your companion NPC moves from their place on the map and you know a great cutscene is going to begin

Poor lil broken droid :( Mean pirates! And they fucked up the school again :(

It’s the Mandalorian - bitch you thought hahaha

I need more smug motherfucker Din back in my life, I beg you

Wish we had more weird accents among the Mandalorians. Bo’s is pretty Standard, Paz and the Armorer are weird and flat and formal, and Din has some of that as well. But like, if they’re a diaspora, I wanna hear some variation!

One of my favorite tropes is “noncombatant citizen nevertheless rises up to defend their homeland”, and Kowakian monkey-lizards pointing out an ambush was a cheesy lil slice of delight

Paz how are you seriously so LARGE

High Magistrate Greef Karga, you are so cute and I love you

I do really love how Nevarro has been a touchstone for the entire series, and love seeing how it��s evolved over the years. Things like that are some of my favorite things about this show.

The Armorer wishes to speak with you. Here, let me accompany you to this extremely tense and dangerous music, I’m sure everything will be fine

The Armorer is… getting emotional? Reminiscent about Mandalore? I’m scared and so intrigued!!!

The sassy and scary way she asked “Do you respect my station?” And her “Remove your helmet,,.” I am… alarmed and aroused

This music is so calculating! So very Luke, join me!

Wait, Paz isn’t in on this plan? Interesting, I had assumed he was in the Armorer’s pocket.

I am hopeful for Bo because I do think she’d be a great leader? But also frightened because who could trust the Armorer in that moment? (I mean, aside from Bo who 1) I’m sure respects Armorers and 2) doesn’t know her well and 3) is seeking a home… and this is how smart people can get sucked into cults!). It could go either way, I suppose. Are she and Din finally gonna have the epic duel? I can’t see Din’s heart being in it, and I also don’t want that to happen until he’s actually competent with the Darksaber and learns why it’s been fighting him. I just need Din, Din, Din!

But this episode has me much more intrigued and curious about where the season is going, so I’m excited for next week!

What would each Antares character play as in a tabletop RPG like Dungeons and Dragons? What races, classes and builds? Why? What does it say about them as a character?

now this IS a fun one. I'm gonna go with standard D&D because I know it well enough, though there is actually an in-universe dungeon-crawler tabletop RPG called Grimmlings & Grottos. But anyway! Let's do some breakdowns. Let's just set it tentatively at the beginning of the story, because what the characters might play at the end would be very different. But lets just stick with early days for now. I'm also gonna stick to the people, so far, who might currently have played in Ruby's hypothetical D&D game, so thats mostly her family and friend group. Beacon Era, even. Or else this would be VERY long.

First of all: Ruby is the DM. No question. She wants to tell stories, make homebrew stuff, and gets to play all of the monsters and NPCs. done deal. If she had to be a player at all she'd probably want to be something she can do a lot of fun roleplaying in, and also probably be really rules-lawyering and try to swing it all in her favour. Which makes me think that her go to is a Stout Halfling Dhampir (its a lineage that goes on top of a base race) as an Arcane Trickster Rogue or something ("yeah DM sneak attack is once per turn"). But yeah Ruby is the DM. As for why? She likes storytelling, and she likes having a measure of control over things around her, she's not ever been a 'go-with-the-flow' person, she thinks and plans and even as leader her worries were 'what if things get out of control and I can't handle that' rather than 'i'm too young for this'. And, well, Ruby is all about fairytales and grand adventures, what suits her better than making that grand adventure?

Which is to say: when the players go off script she gets grumpy about it. She'll roll with it but she'll complain. "Yang I gave you eight seperate story threads and you picked PIRACY? that wasn't one of them do you know how many crew member NPCs I have to roll up now?"

I like to think that canonically the Xiao Long-Rose-Branwen household has played at least one session with Ruby DMing and Yang instantly picked the highest damage output possible and built an Orc Barbarian (Path of the Beast). Backstory? What's that? "Her name's Ember and she's killed twenty people, lets go kill monsters'. I think this should be quite self-explanatory to Yang's beginning characterisation. She wants to skip ahead to the cool fight scenes where she can describe how badass her character is.

Taiyang and Qrow (they're mostly here to support Ruby's interests and don't actually get what's going on but they have a great attitude and Ruby's patient with them) both individually saw 'Bard' and Taiyang saw 'well that looks fun, I can make up lil rhymes' and Qrow saw 'I can be a sex, drugs, rock-and-roll guy that's the epitome of cool' and drummed up a bard duo called where one is an aging punk rocker Tiefling based on all Qrow's fav emo bands as a twenty-year-old and Taiyang saw 'gold dragonborn' and blacked out. They both picked College of Eloquence because it looked easiest. Not much to say about why beyond 'parental support and really trying to understand their kid's interests' which is why Tai is the best parent in Antares and why Qrow- well, sometimes he hits the mark.

Weiss has no fuckin clue what any of this is aside from 'nerd stuff for plebians that I suppose I must join for team building'. Basic first options on the list, human fighter, basic stats, doesn't really get into it for a couple of sessions but once she twigs that the dice is like a numbers game it really catches her interest and she starts looking into it more. She snags Eldritch Knight as her path for access to spells and ends up having a good time. Its a microcosm of Weiss's 'defrosting ice queen' plotline. Once she gets into to she gets into it.

Blake actually read the players handbook for more than half a second and decided she wanted to be creative and have a bit of fun while also quickly making the connection that the party was very tanky, so she decided to create a Water Genasi Sorcerer with the path of Lunar Sorcery, since she thought the options it had were fun and she absolutely did extra reading to decide. Mostly this ties into Blake's early character of, though not looking like it, actually genuinely really wanting to get along with her friends while also rediscovering her interests. She also decides to play an optimist, just to try and have that bit of escapism she so desperately wants. Oh- play as a Tabaxi? No, why do you ask?

Onto JNPR, Jaune has the distinction of Acutally Having Knowledge of This, he strikes me as a 'oh I love D&D podcasts I've always wanted to play it'. His dicerolls are, obviously, fucking horrendous at all times, but he ends up playing as a dwarf paladin, I think, good ol Oath of Devotion. He just wants to do a bit of wish fulfilment as a hero, but he doesn't really push it to the point of being a pure 'must follow all the rules' type of paladin roleplay. He just wants to enjoy having friends and mostly tries to keep things chill at the table.

Pyrrha has no idea what she's doing either but she's trying really hard even though she can't wrap her head around any of it. She picked a Cleric because it seemed nice, she could be the party healer. Life domain, Ruby threw her a softball and said 'that's the healing one' and Pyrrha went 'yep'. She just wants to be a normal girl who plays games with a friend group and also be useful in a way that will keep them from ditching her. Gotta please everyone, and healing- it's nice. Useful. They'll invite her more to play.

Nora wants to be a barbarian too, specifically a Goliath with path of Wild Magic for the chaos because she wants to try derail the campaign like she heard about, but Ruby plays favourites with her sister and tells her to pick a new one so Nora goes sulking through the book again for something else, sees the words 'blood' and 'hunter' next to each other, and goes feral. Order of the Lycan is an instant follow-up. Race? Oh- yeah, still a Goliath. Nora just wants to fuck shit up and be with her friends, there's no underlying deeper character issues. Possibly height envy, maybe.

Ren, similarly to Blake, reads the handbook cover to cover, does his own research, and gets super into the idea of Roleplaying as well. However, he goes full 'how dark can I get away with' and creates a warlock, specifically with a Great Old One as patron. A haunted man, troubled by shadows and loss of the past long before being cursed with a treacherous deal that leads to the nightmares and madness of the present, desperately struggling to hold onto sanity as their patron eats a piece of their mind with every spell he casts. Yanno, standard Lovecraftian horror. Ren's really trying to be dramatic and hoping for a tragic end, where his character is twisted into the secret main villain, and Ruby thinks that would be really cool and is pushing for it if only the rest of the campaign wasn't trying to power of friendship this. Ren's just trying to lowkey work through some stuff, it's fine. It's totally fine. Oh- and he picked Pact of the Tome, he wants more cantrips.

Sun got invited along and was like 'gnome ranger lets fuckin go'. Epitome of 'holy shit I can have a pet dinosaur this game RULES' as a player. Mostly coasting on dice luck but can pull out one HELL of a bit of roleplay when he wants to. It's beautiful. He really wishes this campaign could go on forever, it's easier when the bad guys are just figurines on a table.

Penny is ready and waiting to play but she never gets the chance to join a session. Her schedule just doesn't line up, unfortunately. And she hasn't decided her class- she'll see what everyone else needs for an effective party balance first and then she'll pick one. So she doesn't get to pick a subclass. But she'd really like to give it a try if she could! She'd play a standard human character. No there's no other meaning in her wanting to be a human character when she could be something way more interesting, not at all.

Ruby offered to Sun to bring Emerald along for a session but Emerald said no. F in the chat for Emerald (one day).

#rwby #scorruby au #asks #i like critical role I can have critical role stuff as an option

Hi Punk! Lil Sis wanted me to wish you good luck on your comms today and we both hope you will get some silly comms one day! Also uhm that other post- the one where you were a lil freaked out over anon sending a question about Kim's Pico there- erm is it bad that I was admittedly curious about him too? As in general, I mean. Lil Sis also been curious too but now she feels maybe she should wait to ask later because, to quote her, "I don't want Punk think I'm a creepy meanie spy creeper" 😂

Oh yeah I forgot. Gonna just copy paste what Kim sent me

Under the readmore cuz it's long

I should start off that he and Pico's mom were in their early twenties when they had Pico. Why I mention this? Because he, by netherworld demon standards, IS still in his twenties. So he looks more like his son's twin instead of his father. His wife on the other hand has actually aged noticeably over the years due to her being human and all.

If you're wondering, yes, this has often cause confusion among people over the latter years. So many folks had mistook him for as his son's twin that it's pretty much a running gag at this point. Fortunately magic and non-humans are a thing in this universe; he doesn't say he's a demon since uh his kind is rather different than the ones in that universe are but he DOES say he does have some minor lineage of his side of the family that make it so he's stronger and more long-lived than normal humans. Which is also a thing in this universe too so the cover works. Still doesn't stop him from often needing some help from his wife to prove he's telling the truth lol

Oh and I know I probably said this before but my Pico's dad is nothing like Matthew. He might be considered a bit worrisome by human standards if only because uh haha this dork often forgets that certain things that would be normal and ok in netherworld demon society wouldn't be so in human society (like for example him wanting to slaughter this creep who wouldn't stop creeping on his wife, even saying yes to little Pico if he could help, only for him to get bonk on the head by his wife who had to pulled them aside to try her best to explain why he and their son cannot do that. Both him and lil Pico listened in the end but they were both very grumpy afterwards) but overall is a good man despite the hiccups.

Hell, you wanna know how he'd react if he were to have another child but unplanned like how Morgana was? Well, he'd admittedly be unsure at first and will talk things through with his wife if only cuz netherworld kids require a LOT of attention especially since even at young age they're ridiculously strong and durable and uhm prone to accidental destruction at times not kidding about that last bit btw

lil Pico once knocked over a FREAKING TREE while trying to show off how tough he was to some friends at elementary ended up giving the poor PE teacher a new heart attack because one minute they were helping a kid on the swing then the next SUDDENLY A FREAKING TREE IS HEARD SMACKING NEARBY School never found out it was lil Pico btw. Oh he and the kids who saw it said he done it but they didn't believe them because, well, y'know lol

but anyway getting back on track Pico's dad would've accepted the other child if his wife wanted it. It'd be best not to mention what Matthew done to him because… well, this guy would consider your Pico and his family as his own. Partially cuz that's just how he is, partially cuz instincts from his dragon lineage makes him very protective of those who he considers friends and family and wouldn't stand for any serious injustice to them.

So uh for him to learn about what Matthew had done? He'd be very upset on their behalf. Murderously so. His wife will need to step in to talk him down because this man will go out to find Matthew and slaughter him. Yes that might seem ridiculous for him to go do this since your Pico isn't actually his but, well, it wouldn't exactly be too unusual within netherworld demon society. I HAD mentioned netherworld demon's sense of morality is rather odd at times y'know so you can say this is another good insight to that lol I'd also like to add if your Pico and those of his family were to step in to talk him down then he'd listen. He'd be very dumbfounded at them doing this because why wouldn't you want that fucking bastard dead after everything he had done to all of you??? but he'd eventually albeit very reluctantly back down. He'll definitely be grumpy about it for awhile though lol

#idk what to tag this as so uh #Punk Verse #even though this is Kim's Pico and his dad

I’m white so it might not be my place to say. But it really seems like Duke, Cass, and Damian’s constant mischaracterization within fandom is all about shoving them into the only archetypes readers can see them fitting into based on their race. Like...Cass being martial arts based and mostly nonverbal is probably already kind of stereotyping on the part of her creators, but the fandoms remaking of her as a quiet and demure little nonentity when she’s historically been a full of herself little shit. Or, like, Duke being made into “the calm sensible one” when he’s just as Batshit (pun intended) as everyone else in Gotham really just seems like him getting put into the “witty black guy serving as voice of reason for a bunch of white people” box. And I can’t even begin to parse out Damian’s simultaneous CONSTANT whitewashing andvilification for his ethnicity.

hoo boy this one is MEATY. In short: You're right, and your right for saying it. But you obviously brought your take to me for a reason, so lemme offer ya my perspective. As a person of color.

It's fairly easy to recognize racism in canon since a.) we know exactly who's writing (usually an old white cishet guy :/) b.) we as the audience tend to use actual critical thinking skills more often with official works, we actually pay attention to and can identify racist subtext much easier. And this is a general statement for all fandoms but like,,, when people consume fan content, they tend to turn the critical thinking switch off -- which is fine! totally fair because fanart, fanfiction, headcanons? thats all for self-indulgence more than anything.

Now since fandoms are much more prominent on platforms like Twitter and Tumblr you’d imagine people would display more awareness for racist/misogynistic/bigoted subtext, considering these sites are known to host people who are,,, well, socially aware is how I’d put it. (don’t believe me? take a trip down to some Reddit discussions. it can shrivel your soul) Uhhhh... but sometimes I find the double standard in fans so offputting.

For more Batman-fandom specific racism,,, it’s kinda a lot actually. Listen, listen comic books are kinda racist sometimes. It’s an old medium, and has had a long line of old white guys penning them, it’s just a thing. Not a good thing, but what’s been printed just is y’know? I see a lot of these racist storylines or characterizations from old and I just cringe and move on bc a lot of the problematic writers are out of the game now, and in modern books we can go harass the creative team on Twitter. That’s in the bag. But in the actual fandom? Like i said, people don’t really think. they don’t understand or just don’t care if their art/writing/hcs are problematic bc it was made for fun - being morally correct isn’t really a concern. (especially considering we got murder/abuse sympathizers in this one but lest definatly not get into that agian--)

Since you mentioned some specific ones I’ll talk about them for a sec. Takes like “Cass Cain is the most powerful baddest b*tch in the fam and she can do no wrong at all” but also portray her as only existing to support her brothers or Steph is a huge disservice to her entire character. Like yeAH Cass is obviously the best fighter in the fam but there is so much more to her than that! (actually now that the cat’s outta the bag, i’m a lil wary of Cass ships in general bc SO OFTEN they use her as just a prop for the other partner and im just hhhhh ok back on track) and lemme be real with ya, the reason Cass is so often portrayed like this because they are blatantly riffing on the “Dragon Lady” and Asian houswife tropes. (now Cassie defs has some dragon lady as a part of her base character/backstory but, her solo actually worked to make her way less one dimensional.) And while I’m still talking about Cass and how she’s always portrayed as the perfect Good Daughter-- I feel like it’s kinda a lil just maybe a bit sexist to portray female characters as flawless since it’s kinda takes away a central part of their character that humanizes them perhaps? I know I was just talking about how some people unecessarily emphasize female character’s problems but I feel like the opposite is true as well where some people gloss over their issues and make them out to be too good for anyone unproblematic queens. I see it a lot with the Batgirl trio and honestly I’m annoyed by it a little bit. Flaws make a human too, and depicting females without them feels like taking a piece of their humanity, if you get what I mean? I just wanna be able to relate to the ladies being crappy! I have enough self awarness to want that.

Okay back on the rails for reals now haha! I ALSO see that people sorta box Duke into the stoic black guy trope a lot too which is also.. yanno... racist? Duke is definiely as insane as the rest of the fam- homie jumped off a bridge from a moving police car. Honestly that trope kinda reads to me like they either don’t care about Duke, or just don’t wanna let him have fun too? (ok adding this but I don’t wanna sound hypocritical or anything bc I know I hardly talk about Duke either. I just.. don’t have any strong opinions on him? I feel kinda bad but also,, i can talk about what i want. That being said i will talk about how he gets the sh*tty end of the stick which homeslice doesn’t deserve)

With Damian, it’s not even disguised, just plain racism. Nothing I can say more than that regarding his villification based on his backstory and ethnicity. The whitewashing though... uh okay so listen closely. Lisght skinned Arabs do exist but is it proper representation to depict him as white passing? no. I’m not Arab but lemme explain it to you in terms I know. In India, colorism is a really BIG problem. Most Bollywood stars you’ll see are very fair skinned for an Indian, and they’re praised for that specifically. Sometimes when I tune into whatever program my Mom is watching, ads for skin whitening treatments come on and it’s so strange. Like, as a more overt example, dark skinned people are considered “dirty” in some castes. (note, I didn’t grow up in India, that is from my parent’s accounts) Soo rounding back to Batman, a lot of Damian’s whitewashing is also rooted in colorism. Which is why I feel like drawing him with darker skin is much more fair representation.

This is getting really long but I really wanna mention this just to kill (what? 5) birds with one stone. But i feel like some of the fandom’s racebends are pretty... sus. the Latino!Jason headcanon in particular kinda feels not right to me. It’s just, did they decide he was Latino because he was a street kid? because he’s more rough and violent? Guys that’s kinda stereotyping... Also that one hc with Tim as an asian? I’m lukewarm on it. obviously riffing on the “smart asian” thing (and i’ll admit it’s not wholly inaccurate this coming from a rather unintelligent indian) but it’s still really i dunno... it’s based on racist stereotypes. And look. Racebending is great! I do it too! (Tim Kon and Dick are drawn with darker skin sometimes cuz ur local brown girl is feeling self indulgent haha) but I feel like if you’re gonna racebend, maybe don’t do it in an obviously racist way maybe?

Anyways the true takeaway from this crazy long wall of text is that fandoms are racist sometimes. And problematic in a bunch of different ways. The Batfandom is no exception apparently, and that should be called out. which I just did. great job me! and you too anon

#I was a little worried about this one tbh #it's hard for me to put my thoughts together on topics like this #cuz they upset me #anyways was this a good take?#hope it was #ask #spicy ones from the inbox #fandom #fandom racism #long post #like way long

Okay. Say...ten things positive that you like about edelgard go.

A whole ass assignment lmaooo alright I'll try

I do have to preface this by saying that I view Edelgard as a villain, and as such some things I view as positive are going to seem harsh, but they are genuine things I like about her character

Her confidence. She "knows" she's right, and she very boldly stands by what she says once she stops lying. She also is very sure of her ability to win anything, hence her immense confusion when she doesn't. Watching a character be so sure of themselves is very engaging imo

Her supports with Dorothea. I've said before that these were Edelgard's best supports if someone wanted to se a side of her that wasn't the warmongering imperialist that actually felt genuine (unlike any of the shit with Byleth that felt forced as fuck), and I still stand by that. These are the only ones I can feel like Edelgard could have been a different person had things gone differently for her

Her fearlessness. I won't call it bravery because I feel there needs to be fear in order for one to be brave, which I don't think Edelgard has. Instead, she just... yeah, doesn't have fear lol. She stands up against big things (like a GIANT DRAGON MAD AT HER) with her full chest and with no thought of failure (going back to her confidence)

Her stubbornness. She will not turn away from what she initially started, no matter what and no matter who she is up against. Her choosing death over defeat/admitting she was wrong is very intriguing from a character standpoint

She's fuckin' hilarious. Like no joke, some of the shit she says pre ts has me rollin' lol, she's so serious and that juxtaposes amazingly with everything else

Her dynamic with Claude. I do not seriously ship Edel/Claude (because I have standards), but man, the way these two just do not vibe with each other damn nears circles back around to making them click really well, at least in a joking way. I really like how pre ts they were able to keep up with the other's verbal jabs and how in post ts that still stays, just grown into something far more hostile

Her relationship with Dimitri. Just. Tragedy personified. Them being some of the last good memories of childhood the other had before their worlds fell apart and them becoming enemies, Edelgard rejecting Dimitri's offer of peace to stand by her ideals (circling back to her stubbornness), it really elevates both characters imo.

Her ability to lie. Like, Claude is often seen as the deceptive one of the lords, and he isn't a slouch in that department to be clear, but man does Edelgard shoot his ass out of the water lmao, she lies ways far more often and about far more devastating things. She's able to keep a straight face when outright lying to anyone, even to the person she wants by her side and has feelings for. Even if we look back in hindsight and see how obvious she was being, I doubt that many players were able to pick up on these obvious signs on their first playthrough (I damn sure didn't at least lmao)

Her willingness to live - no matter what. Edelgard, in the end of the day, wants to live to see her dreams and ambitions come to life, and she is willing to do anything to make sure that she does live to see that day. Running from battle when she's beaten, hiding behind her citizens, holing herself in her throne room, it sets her apart very distinctly from Dimitri (who does none of these things) and Claude (who runs from battle but never hides himself, whether behind citizens or walls).

Her presence. To me, Edelgard is someone you immediately notice in a room. Sure she's a tiny lil' acorn, but she doesn't really feel as though she is - I regularly forget that this girl is actually small as shit and accidentally imagine her as someone taller, just because she feels as though she is. It's the opposite feeling I get with Ashe - I regularly forget that guy's as tall as Claude and always always always imagine him shorter than he is lmao. Edelgard makes a statement! She's not someone to ignore! There's a reason my sis calls her a honeypot, and it's partly because she's able to grab people's attention very easily

#ask #anon #exqueuese me princess #I hope this passes nonnie lmao I tried to keep it as positive as I can #but like this is like asking that I list ten ''positive'' things about Azula #she's a villain!! a lot of the shit I like her for isn't strictly ''positive'' lmao and it's the same here

Black Tim Drake headcannons nobody asked for by an actual black person cuz I remembered his live action casting and I like projecting

- he's a lil carton of half n half. His mom is black and his dad is white and they were college sweethearts.

- when he was young he wore his hair in a really defined curly afro and his earliest memories are of sitting in between his mothers legs as she styled it for him. She had a special way with her hands to where combing it somehow never hurt.

- In the picture with the Graysons he had his hair in the most adorable little cornrows and Dick complimented them which meant a lot to the little guy at the time

- but when he went to start school, as per the racist dress code, he was forced to cut it and that was his first heartbreak.

- he wore a simple ceaser cut until he became robin and his mom died. When he transferred into public school where they dont give a fuck he cut it into a hightop fade while his dad was in a coma cuz Kendrick Lamar had just broken into the mainstream at the time n he wanted to follow the trend but also as a way to honor his mother

- the overall amount of black people he was exposed to was very limited due to the schools he was placed in, so he dealt with plenty microagressions (and internalized antiblackness he worked through it tho) His mother was never ashamed of her race but she grew up relatively well off in the suburbs and was new money so thus, her ideas of "the best schools" were heavily influenced by white academia standards.

- Jack was one of those "I don't see color" parents so he doesn't realize how important it is for Tim to be around his culture and as a result, Tim is a little unaware. Could only name maybe 3 cookout songs TOPS off the dome. Maybe 4 if you play it by ear. Public school was *definitely* a culture shock.

-now once Tim got used to Young Justice antics he's down for the ride most of the time. But every once in a while they would just do something a little too wacky and him and Anita would always, without fail, find each others eyes and give *that* look to each other

- he considered locing up his hair because given his .... extracurriculars the low maintenence of it appealed to him but Jack and his unconscious bias said no

- he was one of those kids who loved anime .... like was OBSESSED with Naruto, Dragon Ball n Bleach specifically. Parents bought him merch, he naruto ran until middle school, the whole nine yards.

- also probably had a real HEAVY street fighter video game phase

- when he went to public school and started being around more people who looked like him he definitely practiced using slang in the mirror to fit in but had enough dignity to realize how fucking stupid it sounded and just decided to be himself in the end.

- I think that's something he'd end up discussing with Cass at certain points too, wanting to learn about their respective cultures but having no idea where to start

- ppl try to say he looks racially ambiguous and maybe from a certain angle with the mask on, possibly but for the most part, no. he's just lightskin.

- had a supereme and a champion phase. also owns a Gucci belt just because.

- had a sneakerhead phase too till his dad went broke then he just kinda ... tapered off from it (all his shoes are creased now)

- has definitely asked a villain (most likely the riddler) who was in paris.

- has also pulled the "did you just call me a slur" line at multiple criminals. Bruce and Dick have both told him to stop but the faces of terror every time. Worth it.

- his music taste is so chaotic, not because it's bad or anything but because there's literally everything on it. His shuffle will go from Outkast to My Chemical Romance to Carrie Underwood, to Mary J Blige to The Neighborhood he has to queue up a playlist before he gets handed the aux it's that wild.

- but despite all that he still can't fucking dance past a two step which frustrates him bc he definitely has rhythm his body just hates him

- his favorite Kanye album (which says a lot about a person .... trust me) is 808s and Heartbreak but he had a really intense Yeezus phase once

- during red robin era he couldn't bring himself to get to a barber but he also couldn't spend much time on his hair and let's just say cowls and coarse curls do not mix SO he would just throw it into the most sloppy braids for a month n call it a day.

- by the time he started at Wayne Enterprises it was the longest he had his hair since he was child. Everyone said it suited him, but god it was so much fucking work to maintain now that he was public figure and had to look good every second, so he kept the top extra fluffy but faded the sides again as a compromise.

- Kon teasted him relentlessly for stealing his old look.

Current X-book Mood-Ring Guide

There are an awful lot of X-books on the shelves right now. They are most of my monthly haul. No joke it is at least 12 books at this point. So, in order to cope with that, I’ve organized all the books into one of four different categories, aka “booster-pack” themes. Click through if you want to jump aboard the best X-men run since Morrison before the boat pushes off for the Hellfire Gala this summer! These are the 4 categories:

-Mainline Blue/Gold-style

-Jr. Mutants Academy

-2nd-Wave Krakoa Niche (aka “the good stuff”)

-Cetera

#1. Mainline Blue/Gold-style

Mood-color/vibe: Actually 90s-style Blue/Gold and like bright primary colors (but also muddy-ass colors from X-factor).

Books included: X-men, Excalibur, Marauders, X-force

Typical Pokemon: Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Betsy Braddock, Kate Pride, Beast, Black Tom, Storm, Bishop, Emma Frost, Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee, Kid Omega, Domino, a Pyro, Iceman, Avalanche. Rare drops: Apocalypse, X-23, Synch, Darwin, Kid Cable, Fantomex (in that Giant-Sized!)

These be the books for someone who wants those direct, mainline, core-members-style lineups. On the main book (adjective/word-play-less X-men) Hickman/Yu have worked wonders with their run, but it hasn’t been a stable team, instead focusing on Scott and his adventures dealing with some of the more prominent threats to Krakoa.

So it’s essentially been a revolving door of a book with Cyclops sometimes leading assaults against major problems and sometimes just being a dad to teenagers from the future, and it’s been generally great.

Meanwhile, the teams we find on the other 3 books could basically be a main X-men team if you just throw Jean/Scott/Logan onto them (except for X-force because Logan is usually on that one, actually, and Jean sort of is..)

X-force: Wolverine usually, Kid Omega, Beast, Jean (quitting?/back-up), Domino sorta, Sage, Black Tom Cassidy, Colossus once? Forge sorta. [Lot’s of backup or sometimes-members on this team but kinda centers on Beast, Omega, Wolverine and Jean or Domino]

Excalibur: Betsy Braddock, Rogue, Jubilee, Gambit, Avalanche, baby/dragon Shogo, Apocalypse (honorary, mia)

Marauders: Kate Pride, Storm, Emma Frost, a Pyro, Iceman, Bishop

On X-force, you get a little Morrison-homage energy going on what with Beast being sus, Quentin Quire having a character arc and dating a cuckoo and then all the body-horror. This one hasn’t been amazing and the art sometimes has issues for me but it’s been a solid expansion on Krakoa-Era lore.

On Marauders, you get a book centered on Kate Pride and the Hellfire Club. It’s been aight but I’m not the biggest Kate fan. Definitely has heart and the art has been beautiful.

Excalibur started a little weird for me... I lack the references or attachment to Otherworld or Davis/Moore-era Excalibur so I don’t think I’m even really the target demo, but I will say it recently, post-X of Swords-- which it set up single-handedly basically [along w/ one ish of X-men]-- has gotten more interesting in recent months. The Betsy + Kwannon stuff was great! And Howard did great with Apocalypse before he went off to another dimension. (points off for iffy color-palettes sometimes).

#2. Jr. Mutants Academy

Mood-color/vibe: Pastel

Books: New Mutants, X-factor, Children of the Atom, Cable

Common Pokemon: Magik, Cable, Rachel Summers, Doug, Warlock, Armor, Boom Boom, Scout, Dani, Warpath, Karma, Glob, Beak, Daken, Eye-boy, North Star, Rachael, Prodigy those Children of the Atom kids, Magma, Rahne, and a lot of lil kid mutants runnin’ around in Akademos/the Wild Hunt area of Krakoa whose names I don’t know yet.

This is the junior-crew club. New Mutants would be in the Blue/Gold books practically due to being part of the first wave of post-HoX/DoX books, but its basically been 3 different books/teams over its run and along w/ Children/Cable/X-Factor, it feels like there a whole handful of books offering up junior-crew shenanigans specifically.

So New Mutants has been all over the place, starting with a lineup of OG Claremont era New Muties, then focusing on a team consisting of Glob, Armor and Boom Boom (perpetual...”young adult” I guess?), now settling on a new team under Vita Ayala with Magik and Warpath heading up a squad of young ‘uns (beautiful art on the recent stretch). Hopefully it’s settling into its self now, because I can see longevity for this new squad... maybe.

I still have to read the 2nd issue of Children of the Atom, but am intrigued by it. X-factor meanwhile seems to be focusing on queer representation with people like Prodigy, Daken, North Star and Rachel on the same group together. Polaris started out the lead of that title only to be plucked out by Duggan (or the fanbase) for the main X-team coming up. This honestly makes sense, because even though she isn’t drawn this way, shouldn’t Polaris be considerably older than someone like Rachel? Eh.

Also, in issue #4 of X-factor we had a beautiful homage to the Academy X mutants, with several cameos, so it seems like Marvel is intentionally using these junior-crew books to acknowledge all the various junior-crews, whether it be OG Claremont kids, Generation X people, the kids intro’d under Morrison and Whedon, or even the dang ‘ol Academy X ones, they seem to all be getting at least some representation in some book.

Also Cable owns. Didn’t know I’d like the Kid-Cable guy until this book and his appearances in the main title, but now it’s confirmed. Him dating Esme, Kid Omega dating Phoebe? These crazy telepaths! Anyway, I hope Duggan’s main-team book is more like Cable than Marauders, in terms of pacing and characterization, but they both have beautiful art!

New mutants: Karma, Magik, Mirage, Scout, Warlock, Warpath and Wolfsbane

X-factor: Daken, Eye-boy, Polaris (quit?), North Star, Rachael, Prodigy

#3. 2nd-gen Krakoa Niche aka “the good stuff”

mood-color/vibe: purples, metaphysical/cosmic pallets, tertiary colors

books included: Hellions, S.W.O.R.D., Way of X

common Pokemon: I mean they’re basically all rare drops

This is the good stuff! Who would have thought. And when I think about it, Way of X and S.W.O.R.D., as part of the second wave of Krakoa-era books that started with Cable, both address some of the core issues and ideas that the whole HoX/DoX mini kicked off better than-- or at least more directly-- the other books. So I guess the non X-men, first-wave Krakoa books feel “mainline” in terms of their team lineups, but in terms of content, these newer ones almost feel more relevant by design. S.W.O.R.D. focuses on the cosmic context of the mutants post-Krakoa and Way is Kurt’s first spot-light moment in the era and is expressly concerned with Kurt’s addressing of the deeper moral quandaries that a people who have conquered death will be faced with. I mean, it's expressly about religion and like, spirituality-- a very tall order, but first issue pulled it off super deftly.

Also Hellions is better than it has any business being! Read this if you want savagely dark humor and some very obscure mutants + Havok/Psylocke/Sinister. But if I had to reccomend one, it’d be a tie b/w S.W.O.R.D and Way. First issue of Way was exceptional and got right into things and Kurt’s very well-written and will surely prove a meditative lead for a book like this, whereas S.W.O.R.D is epic in scale while still have sick character moments/dialogue. Manifold had a great issue or two and is now my favorite new mutant, even in the context of a somehow-actually-good King in Black tie-in. Damn! And everything going on b/w Magneto and Fabian Cortez (who was made to argue for why mutants should be allowed to murder “flatscans”/humans to the whole Krakoan council this week whilst naked. It’s fantastic. Hell, even the Snark-War sounds...interesting? What’s happening to me.

S.W.O.R.D.: Fabian Cortez, Magneto, Abigail Brand, Peeper, Manifold, Wiz-Kid, Mentallo, Fenzy

Children of the Atom: Cherub, Marvel Guy, Cyclops-Lass (?), Gimmick, Daycrawler

Hellions: Havok, Psylocke, Empath, Orphan-Maker, Nanny, Wild Child, Sinister, Greycrow

#4. Cetera

Mood-color/vibe: colorless, “normal” element

Books included: Fallen Angels (complete 6-ish mini), All the damn Wolverine books, the uh Sword of X “guidebook” and the new Peach Momoko Demon Days books and whatever X-men Legends is.

These are titles which are either complete or don’t fit in with other things or in Demon Days or the X-men Legends’ books’ case, I think don’t even occur in-universe. And per usual of course there are multiple Wolverine books... the main one seems fine.

Anyway all-in-all, these books are doing weirdly well. Mutants as a concept shouldn't be able to be spread this thin story-telling wise, but the books don’t really feel redundant and most are filling a specific niche or purpose. I may be dropping some of the first-wave Blue/Gold style books (Marauders and X-force I'll probably just check in on from time-to-time), but S.W.O.R.D., Way, the main book under Hickman or Duggan and Hellions all have me verrrrrry satisfied. Even standard stories in the Krakoa era feel special, and that speaks to the power of Hickman’s vision. Hellfire Gala, here we come.

Aaand now it’s time for episode 6 of The Witcher! Rare Species is the title and it’s intriguing, are we going to learn more about witchers?

Anyway, let’s do this. F.lux off, luminosity on, earbuds, clean glasses, and we’re ready. Nobody cares about that but whatever.

We start directly with Jaskier which is always welcome.

Geralt’s employers for the case think he’s dead by now and take Geralt’s stuff... but some strangers just show up and help out. Stranger dude introduces himself and I immediately forget his name and don’t try to learn it. Now he’s Suspiciously Helpful Guy, for short Beard Guy. The ladies with him are gorgeous.

This is about a dragon!!! That’s super exciting. Hope the dragon looks cool.

Jaskier also thinks the ladies are gorgeous. He probably thinks everyone is gorgeous but still, mood.

The reward for killing the dragon is huge, because it’s about the reputation of a king. Makes sense. Suspiciously Helpful Guy isn’t suspicious after all, he just wants the lord title and whatnot and wants Geralt on his team because Geralt is like the Cristiano Ronaldo of monster hunters, and that makes sense.

Beard Guy doesn’t want the reward for itself, but wants a last adventure before he gets too old to do anything exciting, apparently. He tries to appeal to Geralt emotionally, but Geralt is still unconvinced. Aaaand now we get what convinces him to join. The world is small :)

So welcome to Deadly Gishwhes.

Yennefer is there as a fancy escort to Pompous Knight. I think they haven’t started yet and she is already Done with him.

Meanwhile-not-meanwhile Ciri is walking right into Fake Mousesack’s trap...

Deadly Gishwhes for now is a camping trip. Isn’t this fun! Geralt is convinced that the most dangerous thing on the mountain isn’t the dragon, but Yennefer... we’ll see. I mean, definitely.

Dinner is an awkward affair until it gets a more intimate affair, then it’s cute. I’m afraid these nice people won’t survive this.

Dara suspects Fake Mousesack, but Ciri doesn’t...

Meanwhile Yennefer has been sleeping and has lost her escort. Oops.

Oh, he’s been found. Double oops.

The dwarves suggest a shortcut, our team accepts, but we’re gonna have some Yennefer-Geralt drama first.

And of course Yennefer is meaning to use the dragon to get her uterus back.

Geralt says she’d definitely made a bad mother and, well, is he wrong. Apparently it’s customary to make witches and witchers sterile, and he acknowledges that their lifestyle isn’t suited for children. Which I can’t really disagree with... if you really want a child, you can adopt one after deliberation, and not risk to produce a child accidentally that will be thrown into a very unstable environment. I get where Yennefer is coming from, though--it’s not really about a child, it’s about reclaiming the possibility of a choice that was taken from her. I think it’s more about having a part of herself taken away, and maybe she’s been rationalizing her feelings as wanting to be able to have a child, but I think it’s about the integrity and wholeness of her body, of getting back something of herself she got robbed of (even if she chose it at the moment--but it was a choice dictated by the desperation of fixing what had caused her a lifetime of abuse, suffering and self-loathing).

I love how this thing is all leading to Geralt becoming a mama duck.

(Yeah, I don’t know how this story will progress exactly, but I am assuming the plot is going to be about Geralt becoming a mama duck until proven otherwise. I mean, this episode is yelling at us that Ciri is going to become his adopted daughter, we just got hammered with a reminder that she’s tied to him by destiny and Geralt is now babbling about the fact that it’s not a good idea for him to have a child. But for some reason I expect Geralt to go through the story being imprinted on by every orphan or lost soul he meets, like baby ducklings with mama duck.)

(I can’t really think of Geralt as a father but I can only think of him as a mother, does that make sense? I’ve watched too much Supernatural.)

AAAAAAH he’s “thought about this--often”. He’s thought about children and parenthood. Excuse me, I needed that heart, who gave you the right.

Oh my god, he’s been avoiding the surprise because he knows he’s supposed to parent the child, and does not want to subject the child to the life he leads!! I am having feelings!! He does not want a child to go through what he goes through!! He’s literally been tormented by the idea that destiny wants to give him a child but he doesn’t want the child to suffer through the horror and pain of his life!! Wasn’t one (1) show with these themes enough, did I have to add another??

Well, now Yennefer is going to be bitter that she’s been trying to get a child for decades and this dude stumbled into magical adoption just like that.

Also love how Geralt is like “why do I start babbling like an idiot when I’m near you”. It’s called being neurodivergent Geralt. I know this isn’t the take I was supposed to get from the scene but I’ll go with it. It makes sense okay?

Ciri catches Fake Mousesack, and They(TM) get fed up with the whole thing... Ciri is savage af.

The shortcut is terrifying and Jaskier is being perfectly reasonable thank you very much.

Nooo Beard Guy!!! Goergous Ladies!!!! I mean, I expected it, but still. :’(

Oh bby he’s trying to console Geralt and also working out his own pain.

The directors have a favorite angle to shoot Geralt, uh.

Yennefer has made a Tardis Tent. And they have an emotional (emotionally mature, at least for they standards?) moments. They suffer a bit from a-man-and-a-woman-share-a-pencil-syndrome, but that’s just how the show has been working so far, it’s a lot about negative space, so I’m giving them a pass.

Me the other day, as a joke: the horse is the fantasyland equivalent of the Impala. This episode: if he wasn’t a hunter witcher he’d work with cars horses. *deep inhale* Okay.

Ah. Her dream is to be important to someone, yes. A child of her own would be a sure way of achieving that.

Alright, this scene was sweet. They lil stupid faces when they wake up together. They’re dumbasses but cute.

And Ciri is caught. This guy is either feeding her some fat lies or not, let’s see. He speaks destiny stuff so he probably believes what he’s saying. The camping party was talking about the religious zealotry of Nifgaard peeps. He’s probably the religious righteous type, which is the most dangerous type.

OH! Now this is intriguing! It’s Them(TM). And yes, he believes the prophecy stuff, and the shapeshifter thinks he’s insane. Yep.

Yennefer cheats at track and field.

I have a theory about the dragon, let’s see.

Ho ho ho! This is great, the ladies are alive, Suspicious Guy was not what he appeared uh.

I was right, the dragon was a she and had a baby. That was my theory. Yennefer was after it for motherhood reasons... but the real motherhood was the dragon she was after all along.

Suspicious Guy was indeed a gold dragon, the rarest, the ones with the very peculiar mutation... of course. I should have expected it. He hired the only person who’d empathize with dragons and could protect the baby dragon.

Mama Duck Geralt Foreshadowing Abounds!!

Sorry guys, Team Protect Baby Dragon are the most badass people around.

Dracarys.

Ah, I’m so happy about how this episode went. Sorry for poor dragon mama, but the rest was 👌🏼

Dara is done with white people bullshit, which we can’t blame him for.

And now it’s time for draa~ama! They break up. I mean, I knew I’d happen because they’re dumbasses and just at the beginning of their character development arc. I want them to be each other’s weird ex that somehow is always involved accidentally in everything the other does.

Dragon Dude is like, forget heterosexuality, embrace your true nature as a Mama Duck.

Well, dumping your frustrations on Jaskier doesn’t seem fair. Aw, that’s so sad. Yennefer and Geralt speak the same emotional language, but Jaskier is a lil dumpling.

Fringilla boosts Creepy Religious Dude’s self-esteem. They have a Mission!

And we’ll see how it goes in the next installment...

This episode was really good. Yep.

Hey, it’s ya girl, back at it again with some more OCs discussed with @autophagic , who’s already seen this but heyo. Here I bring something I’m naming A knight with shining scales. I hope you guys like a Princess Kwenthryth (also known as Nimueh) and her dragon(shifter) knight / girlfriend / target of far too much pining, Remiel.

A lil passage containing: pining, idiots-to-lovers, wlw who need to stop being fools and KISS already, discussion of royal names and the weird world of feudalism and nobility.

Kwenthryth had always thought that the crown weighing heavy on the heads of those who wore it was merely a metaphor -- some representation of the pressures that came with the throne, with heading the court and holding an entire kingdom in the balance.

A while, yes, that certainly was too -- oh, was that overwhelmingly and terribly true, it was far more than some allegory. It’s difficult to balance properly, weighted gold threatening to slide and crash heavily onto the floor. She has to keep her head upright and straight to be even marginally comfortable, and it feels as if, if she tilts even slightly, her neck might just break under the pressure. Wouldn’t that be a sight for a coronation? (Though, she supposed, that was the whole point of practising; to not make a fool of herself right away).

She adjusts it, carefully, on her head, and it indeed weighs heavy on her head.

Far too heavy. Both literally and metaphorically. She wonders, faintly, if it being uncomfortable is part of the point; if it’s meant to be some sort of reminder.

If she was more awake, if she felt less sick to her stomach and more in the mood to be clever, she may just have been able to come up with a quip about it all.

She had tried - admittedly, in vain - to argue against wearing it at all. Wouldn’t a lighter crown be better? A new reign, a shedding of the old-- a new crown would surely be better, wouldn't it?

Her advisors hadn’t appreciated the sentiment -- blathering on about traditions and their importance, and they had gone on so long that Kwenthryth had been forced to just laugh and pretend she had been making some bad joke. And that idea had been soundly quashed there; if she brought it up again, one of the chancellors might just magic up a way to enchant the damn thing to stay there permanently.

She adjusts the crown again, before tucking a stray strand of hair back behind her ear, observing herself in the mirror for a few more seconds before sighing, deeply, gaze flickering to look over her shoulder in the reflection, watching the figure standing there -- on guard and alert as ever. And she can’t help the small smile that plays on her lips.

Kwenthryth turns, slowly, careful not to jostle the crown; she’ll have to get used to moving with it on, she supposes. She can only grimly imagine the embarrassment of it toppling off mid-speech during her council meeting -- the last thing she needed was any more reason for those superstitious old men to doubt her ability to reign.

“How do I look?” She asks, with a half-smile that’s more like a grimace -- everything about it feels awkward, as if she’s an imposter taking the place of whoever should actually be here instead.

Remiel’s gaze is fixed on her, intense as ever -- though there’s a hint of… something, almost like stunned but not quite, within the look.

“You look…” Remiel pauses, seems to grapple for words -- and Kwenthryth hopes that that’s a good thing, that she’s not trying to come up with some white lie or politely word criticism. “... Queenly.” It what she settles on eventually.

Kwenthryth can’t help the snort that escapes her at that -- good-humoured and soft.

“I would hope so.” She says, with a hum. “Looking the part is at least the minimum.”

Remiel huffs, nervously, and Kwenthryth can see the faint tint of a blush rising to her cheeks, pink flushing as she straightens up more, adjusts herself, seemingly flustered.

“I- I meant that- of course you’ve always looked regal-” Remiel bites her lip, fidgeting from side to side, and Kwenthryth feels the urge to move forward and soothe her anxieties- “You- you look beautiful.” It’s said quickly, and there’s some flicker of regret on the knight’s expression immediately after, some anxious energy bubbling beneath the surface. “Not that you don’t always look amazing, you do but…” She trails off, just watching Kwenthryth back for a while.

It’s Kwenthryth’s turn to blush, then.

It’s more than just warmth across her cheeks, though -- she feels the burst of affection and… something, in her chest, too, along with that familiar fluttering in her abdomen.

“You think I’m beautiful?” She asks, quietly; the question falling from her lips before she can even think, before she can consider properly if she should ask it. Beauty was a thing she seemed to be ever chasing, yet never reaching. No matter what, some criticism would be made. True, she had been called fair by many of the court and outside of it, but she could never know for sure whether such compliments were genuine, or the work of sycophants wishing to grow closer to her.

Oh, and just when she hadn’t thought it possible for Remiel to flush any deeper -- the flustered nature is cute, really, even if she doesn’t completely understand why things are spiralling like this. If anything, shouldn’t Kwenthryth be the one more flustered? She’s the one complimented, after all-

“I- well- I-” Remiel shifts, one hand moving to scratch at the back of her neck, and her gaze has shifted to fix on some spot on the floor. “Of course I do- I mean- you are- I don’t mean to step out of line, I-”

“Please, don’t apologise.” Kwenthryth soothes, with a grin that she hopes is reassuring, moving closer to Remiel, careful step by careful step -- both out of necessity to keep the crown in place, and so as not to alarm her. “You’re not stepping out of line at all. I… I really appreciate it.” It feels different when Remiel says it; more than just some standard compliment, something said merely because it’s polite. It feels real. “I- if it means anything; I… think you’re beautiful too.”

Gods, how had Kwenthryth ever thought that she wasn’t? It was a different beauty to most ladies of the court perhaps -- something more wild, powerful, all might and oh-so-gorgeous strength. Kwenthryth can remember seeing her during combat training-

She shakes the thoughts from her head before she’s too lost in them.

Remiel’s looking at her again, expression confused, unsure, as if she thinks this might be some sort of joke- and it’s only now Kwenthryth takes note of how close they are, because Remiel is having to look down at her.

“I- you’re too kind-” the knight begins, sounding doubtful already, and Kwenthryth elects to shut down that doubt as quick as she can-

“I meant it.” She tells her, firmly. “You are. You’re… the most beautiful person I know.” She utters it almost like a confession -- some secret she’s held. “Inside and out.” She adds, quietly.

Silence settles then, and Kwenthryth feels a flighty panic take hold in her heart; just how awkward has she made this now?

“Sorry- I… perhaps I overstepped there…”

“No- it’s- it’s alright-” Remiel exhales a laugh, though it’s shaky. A little bewildered. “That means a lot, coming from you, your hi- Kwen.”

Kwenthryth quirks a smile at the catch -- the adjustment, however slow, feels nice. More casual. But still-

“You know, if you wanted, you could call me Nimueh-” Her real name, the thing buried under the grandeur of the royal name, one she often forgot herself. “-I think that everyone else will only know Kwenthryth. Not many will remember Nimueh” Kwenthryth was a name earned, a name chosen -- but Nimueh felt like home, some rooted thing she could go back to when the title felt too much. “I should like it if you were one of the few that did.” True names were an intimacy -- the sorcerers of old said there was magic in a name, and perhaps that was partially true.

“That- that’s a great honour-”

“One I see fit for my closest friend,” Kwenthryth reassures, feeling another flutter in her chest at the little intake of breath that gets her. “Think of it as returning the favour.” She gives a shrug. “I consider it a great honour that you remain my companion.”

“Are you sure? It feels far too-” Remiel shakes her head, not finding the word she’s looking for, but looking thoroughly… well, overwhelmed. “... intimate.”

Would intimacy be such a bad thing? Is the first thought that flitters through Kwenthryth’s mind-

“Alright,” is what she says, however, “perhaps we should focus on just Kwen for now, and work up our way from there?” She offers, amusedly.

“That… That sounds good.” Remiel says, with a nod, returning her smile. “I agree, Kwen.” Her name’s said more confidently this time, more sure. “I’m glad that you view me as a friend- I think of you as mine, too- Not that I’m not also your guard but-”

She isn’t quite sure what’s driven her forwards -- whether it’s the flustered look, the compliments still swirling in her head, a way to still the nervous, awkward scramble for the right thing to say or a mix of them all, but Kwenthryth has moved herself forward, rising up on her tip-toes and letting her eyes flutter closed as her lips meet Remiel’s.

What am I doing?

It’s her last thought, before she loses herself in the feeling -- she’s warm, her lips soft, and it feels so right that it’s sending bursts of tingling energy bursting in her chest. All she can think of is questioning why she didn’t do this sooner, when it feels oh-so-perfect, as if it’s the only place she should be. For a while, she feels Remiel pause, only for a beat-

Then there comes the best part -- the fact she’s kissing back. She’s accepting this, she wants Kwenthryth, too. That’s enough to make her heart soar, to make her lean in deeper, sighing softly as she feels Remiel’s arm wrap around her waist, protective and yet so gentle. She encircles an arm around her shoulder in turn, pressing herself closer, and she hears the crown slip and fall to the floor behind her, but by now, she doesn’t care.

The kiss is chaste, soft and simple, and yet more than enough, and they only break for air -- both of their breathing slightly shallow, blushes for the both of them flushed deeper than ever.

With the pumping adrenaline gone, it’s only then that the flighty panic of before, the fear of awkwardness, comes crashing back in like a wave-

What had she just done?

Remiel is just staring at her, wide-eyed, lips slightly parted, looking as if she’s still not fully recovered-

“I-” Kwenthryth tries to start, but her sentence dies in her throat. What would even be right to say?

She doesn’t know why - she doesn’t know why she’s done anything, now -, but instead of speaking, she quickly swoops down for the crown again, faintly relieved but not truly caring that it’s not dented, and settling it back on her head. She readjusts her hair, smoothes out her dress, as if nothing happened.

“I should get to my meeting. The council are probably waiting-”

“K- Kwen-” Remiel starts, sounding incredulous, voice still quivering slightly.

“I’ll- I’ll see you later,” she says, trying to lower her tone into some seriousness. “I promise. You… meet me in my room, if that’s okay?” She tries for a grin, some feigned casuality as she moves by, focusing on reaching the door before she can make any further decisions without thinking them through. “Just- meet me after, Queen’s orders, hm?”

She has to joke, in all this mess of her own cause. She doesn’t even know what she feels, whether she did right, had Remiel even really kissed back or had that been some imagining? Why had she even followed through on the thought to do that? Why had she even had the thought in the first place?

Bheric always did say she had a way of making things far more confusing than they had to be -- here, she supposes, is the evidence. Being a Queen wasn’t easy; and yet here she was, seemingly wanting to make it harder for herself.

Gods, just how was she going to be able to get through a council with this spinning in her mind? So much for a decently focused first day.

What a brilliant start to her reign.

hello! could i have a dragon age 2/inquisition matchup? i'm bi and nonbinary. i'm a 6w5 ennea and an infp last i checked. i've had a lot of different hobbies over the years (long story) but opera singing and boxing were the biggest aside from video games. i'm extremely devoted to my friends and happiest and safest when i'm with them. i'm not very smart, so i try to be helpful, and i'm told i give pretty good advice. i Could win a fight, but i'd rather just defuse it. thank you so much!!

yay, another dragon age matchup!! also, can i just say, the line “i Could win a fight, but i’d rather just defuse it” is Powerful

so for dragon age 2, i match you with…

merrill!!

a precious angel,,, must protect,,,

merrill is curious by nature, and i think she’d really enjoy getting involved with your hobbies. boxing? sounds interesting!! maybe it’ll give her a good melee trick or two. opera singing? oh wonderful!! she was wondering what it might be like to give singing a proper go

you say you’re not very smart, and merrill can be delightfully naive, and i think that’d make a precious (and hilarious) combination

varric has a particular fondness for your relationship bc the two of you just come out with the best (and unintentionally funny) comments, which he often plans to put in one of his novels

i think merrill would really value your advice, and would often check in with you and ask you what you thought; she might be someone who sticks to her own convictions, but she’d genuinely appreciate and consider your counsel

i feel like you two would always find little ways to help each other, as well as the people around you? whether it’s you tidying up her bedroom, or her organizing your music sheets, or the two of you picking up rubbish from around the alienage…

i don’t know if you like animals or not, but i can easily imagine the two of you having like,,, a large number of avian friends that popped by from time to time, expecting a little treat? the two of you just accidentally befriend the Entire Bird Population of kirkwall hhhhhh

i think merrill would really appreciate how you’d stick up for her. you say you could win a fight, and i think merrill is worth fighting for. she gets picked on a lot, and treated like a child far too often, but i can’t see you standing by and letting that happen

you two are always hosting your friends!! i can see merrill enjoying planning little parties and get-togethers, and everyone comments on how you two just glow when you get to be amongst your those you hold dearest, sharing chats and having light conversation

you’re both ixfps (not totally sure on merrill’s exact type, but,,,) which means the two of you probably have similar ways of handling and expressing your emotions, which would help communication flow easily between the two of you!!

it also mean that chances are, you have similar worldviews, and i think that’d be pretty invaluable to merrill; she’d love that you were able to understand her and how she saw things, and that you made it so easy

you guys would just be so cute? please look after my darling daughter?

alternative matchups

varric: understandably, this relationship would be quite different from the one described above. there’d be much more teasing with varric, and he’s less likely to say his feelings outright. but, i think you share a devotion to your friends, and a curiosity for the world around you that’d really bond the two of you together. think of all the situations the two of you would get into together. he’d consider writing them down in his books, but he eventually figures that nobody would think it was real. it may figure as more of a friendship than a relationship for a while (and it would take a long time for either of you to realize that your feelings were romantic), but… you’d get there.

anders: i think anders would be a very different relationship again, one which is more somber overall, but punctuated with moments of levity. anders is more likely than the other two to seek your counsel, wanting to talk through his thoughts and ideas with you. i can see you helping out around his clinic, something he’d be very thankful for. and honestly, i think the line “i could win a fight but i’d rather just defuse it” describes anders’ ideal partner lmao

inquisition under the cut!

and for dragon age inquisition, i match you with…

josephine montilyet!!

another perfect angel,,, you are,,, so lucky,,, also another bi-conic pair that was awful i’ll take myself out

ANYWAY, the first thing i want to touch on is: opera singing!! josephine would love it when you sung for her, and every so often, she might like to join in

she might not get as involved with the boxing, but i think she’s the type who’d end up getting super into it? she’s being The Most Supportive Partner ever on the sidelines, cheering for you at the top of her lungs

i think she’d just find your variety of hobbies and your adventurousness quite charming, and she’d enjoy coming up with fun dates the two of you to go on; usually based around a new hobby she’d think you’d like to try

i feel like you and josephine would have quite a wide social circle (seeing as she knows everyone), so you guys would also be constantly hosting your friends; whether it be symposiums or afternoon tea or an intimate dinner

i feel like josephine would also give pretty good advice, so you two would have an excellent back-and-forth with each other; you’d always be able to come to each other and ask for advice, knowing that you’l be heard

please look after her when she’s having to deal with Obnoxious Nobles and an endless stack of paperwork… bringing her tea or snacks, or even just giving her a lil kiss on the cheek and reminding her to take breaks!

i can also imagine her sending you on like... little errands? nothing huge, but just little jobs that you can do around skyhold or wherever you happen to be that’ll help out everyone else. it’s a bit like she’s giving you little side-quests, just because she knows you like helping out

i feel like you’d be something of a power couple, tbh… that’s just the Vibe i get, you know? you’re both more interested in defusing conflict, and you’d be this great diplomatic tag-team

i just think you’d have really nice chats. can’t really justify why, but you strike me as a fairly laid-back person (correct me if i’m wrong), and that’d help you both relax and just... air off all your thoughts and feelings after a long day. and that’s probably something josephine desperately needs

leliana is pretty quick to accept you (by her standards), simply because there’s no possible way you could be harbouring ill intent,,, just look at the two of you together,,, it’s too Pure,,,

I Love Her, what a woman,,, and she’d love YOU (pls cherish her)

alternative matchups

iron bull: idk i just feel like you’d click really well. he’s an incredibly different person to josephine, and i think he’d bring out a different side to you. first of all? boxing. he loves it. he keeps trying to get you to box with him. the chargers are already betting on it. bull, despite how he talks sometimes, is quite devoted to the chargers, so you better be ready to adopt All Of Them. i feel like bull would tease you a lot, but i you’re more than capable of standing up for yourself. the main reason i didn’t choose him over josephine is that he’s not as emotionally open as she is. otherwise, i think it’s a pretty good match!

blackwall: i’m love him,,, he’s a bit more somber than the other two, but i think there’s a spark in him that’d help the two of you connect. like josephine, he’d find the berth of your hobbies charming (he’d always be asking you how you stumbled into them), and i think he’d be very supportive of them. while most people think he’s gruff and broody, blackwall actually goes out of his way to help others (such as making toys for the local children), and he cares a lot for those close to him. i just think he’d be a good fit, tbh.

#matchups #dragon age matchups #merrill matchup #josephine matchup #this is laaaate but that's what i say about every matchup

What do you guys think of cringe culture? I remember writing up my own dragons for WOF when I read it a lil while back, and I found a few of the drawings and I kinda cringed but remember how happy I was and I kinda wanna go back to it (mildly nervous of what ppl would think but still)

oh you have come to the right person for cringe culture talk

short answer:

it’s stupid, fake, and all-around bad

long answer, and boy is it long:

the problem with cringe culture is that is almost inevitably directed at children having harmless fun. think of something cringey; chances are, you thought of “ten year old’s bad op oc” before, for example, “40 year old man getting into debates about anime on the internet”*. chew on that for a sec. why is a child having innocent fun…

…a bad thing?

it’s really not! like, children interacting with their favorite media(s) by making a character - often a self-insert, we’ve all been there - is literally enjoying the story so much that they want to be a part of it. that’s good! that’s GREAT, even! that’s a sign you’re doing a damn good job as a writer / artist / filmmaker / etc - your fans are so hyped about your world that they’d want to exist in it.

but then the people in fandom who have already learned that OCs To Have Fun With Are Bad** pass that lesson on to the next decade of tweens who made something for themselves and had the judgement of the digital world come down on it like the hand of god.

my first notable ocs were;

- a silver dragon, who could heal herself from the brink of death because she drank from a pool of molten silver, who also lost an eye and was super scarred because she was always getting in fights to do good. she had extensive, elaborate, unnecessary adventures and, of course, a tragic parenthood arc because i had been reading warriors books

- a half-dragon, half-pegasus mlp oc who literally angsted so badly he unleashed town-flattening destructive power that was absolutely never explained, and then died, and then ended up alive again because i decided that was too sad. this was the entirety of his story.

- a human who drops out of school and drives away to a nearby town, where she’s given shelter by an elderly werewolf woman, falls in love with the werewolf’s adult granddaughter, and they open a small town cafe where they all live happily ever after, as far as life allows. the physical manifestation of Death is also there.

those can all be very cringe if looked at by someone who wants them to be. but, of course, with only a few alterations you could plausibly use these descriptions on the superhero Wolverine, Anakin Skywalker, and… well, okay, I can’t think of an equivalent for the last one because I’m making the gay fantasy slice of life book I want to see in the world, but 2/3 isn’t too bad. it probes my point, which is, essentially:

when the ‘cringey’ ideas are done by skilled producers and are meant to be seen and responded to by the world, cough and the characters are straight white cis men cough people will accept them.

when the ‘cringey’ ideas are done by children or other, less skilled creators, generally for a small audience or just to self-indulge, and don’t say minority content doesn’t play a part here bc it often is included as cringe for being minority, people will make entire blogs dedicated to mocking them for not being up to the same standard that their million-dollar-production-value source material has.

basically what im getting at here is like… the only cringey thing about cringe culture is that people still use the term, like, genuinely. it’s fake! you’re just putting a goofy name on mocking children on the internet! bake a cake or something!

so long as it’s not hurting anybody, what’s the hecking point in acting like it’s the end of the world that someone has an oc with a rare pigment mutation and powers unexpected for their species and has an angsty backstory where their family cast them out***?

if what you’re doing isn’t harmful, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. if you love something, love it. just don’t expect to be catered to if it’s not a media directed at you**** and don’t get in the way of the actual target audience enjoying it*****.

just be normal! just be a person enjoying something. i assure you that such a thing happens all the time. there are people who like star wars that don’t know what the word fandom means, and god some days i wish i were them.

*adults doing freaky shit are, in fact, the only people who deserve the term

**they have often learned this by being a part of the decade prior to the one that they are teasing. anyone who gets super upset about “””cringey””” ocs more than 10 years after having that phase needs to turn off the computer and go for a walk

***just so none of you get any ideas, this sentence is genuinely me describing one of my current OCs, Drifter

****looking at you, bronies

*****also looking at bronies; there used to be a designated safe search cleanup event bc of all the nsfw content of cute cartoon horses. as far as i know, this has not changed.

#cringe culture #long post #mod posts #wings of fire #wof #anonymous #ask

empress ki

are these koreans gonna go as far as to let this man fall for who he thinks is just some young cool guy?

i mean - they’re not chinese so

this is kinda silly lol. if she really wanted to be let go she could have just punched him. i guess that would have gone too far

this RANDOM assassin almost kills them - he disappears. we good. no worries.

where are her own men????

NOOOOO don’t ruin it

why the fuck would she have developed a feminine slap? i think theyre gonna ruin it. like contact with a male love interest will just forcibly feminise you

ok no she came up with an excuse

god - an openhanded slap from another man lol i can see how that might be quite offensive

she just chills in the crown prince’s bath no prob lol. ok so she locked the door

she just let herself get fuckin shot for this lol

this episode moves super fast but thats fun but i still don’t know how the king and the crown prince are related. the whole hostage thing really messed things up

i just realised that i love the bro/bro mlm stuff if its actually m/f. LOL.and I KNOW it’s going to only last one fuckin episode bc we’re gonna go right back to misgyny and chattel slavery especially for women but yknow

does she remember him?? did she send the bandana? i dont know on which side she really is.

yeah ofc shes the bandana guy. i mean - DUH.

WHY RISK YOUR OWN MEN - WHAT WAS THE PLAN

is this spy gonna get her bandana now???

or are these not her own guys?? THEY ARE

is she playing the king?? like - im still trustworthy though!!!! (or at least my men are) but how could she think to rely on the crown prince???

oh no the cool big sword moustache guy!!! why would he be the spy for the king????????????? what is there to gain??????? HE’S NOT THANK GOD

YES!!!! I LOVE THEM. ‘hit me’ BAM *violently and romantically perches over him to almost stab him*

aww haha the king is attached to seung nyang. too bad you’re an evil bastard she wants to destroy

i can’t quite tell why revealing the salt location drop off point is important or not. i guess it was just and only a test.

was that the guy in blue who volunteered to be shot at? : ‘( ah it’s not.its just some nobody. I guess she couldn’t have known who knew of her blue bandana so she had to hide it. But couldn’t she have told this guy from the very beginning when they were alone?

did the official guard not get told that more people were coming???? LOL. that’s one fuckin mess

HEROIC HORSERIDING YEAAAAAAAA did she not think of a reason for being alive? ‘kill me’ OH MY GOD hahahahaa. smart but so risky (it turns out that the crown prince is the crown prince but the king is the brother of his dad’s)

is there something you want? I THOUGHT YOU WANTED MONEY oh my god this guy is gambling it all lol. oh no, he’s gonna make it too.

it’s always the ‘unrightful’ people that get villainised for wanting power

what the fuck her dad’s gonna kill all her friends and make her into a sex slave? jezus christ how dark (i read a synopsis that she gets sent to yuan after all somehow). on who’s fucking authority? couldn’t they have gotten at the very least a letter from the goddamn ‘auditor’ to protect them

oh my god. just wear your fucking ring on the outside of your goddamn clothes. that was so FUCKING close

wow that was a pretty realistic breakdown

GO SEE HIM HELLO!!!!

she became a fucking COP TO SEE HIM HOLY SHIT LOL

JUST SHOW HIM THE FUCKING RING

did she just leave her band of boys behind???

dude why is this series romance blocking me what the fuck

gotta show that Yuan is backward through furs and beads!!

i do love that this series had the guts to start off with heartbreak. but also to let the female protagonist be a big bi....amorous...?

this show somehow made me feel sympathetic towards a stinkin imperial rich kid. he didn’t ask to be born into a family that would become his death

‘young boy’ *is literally at least 40*

the KING has only 10 men to spare? really?

he’s gonna let his servant get fucking murdered in his stead? yikes. ok so that wasn’t his PLAN no. poor servant guy

so they got her a MATCH - a dirven and smart and powerful king. and a soft and unexperienced and endangered future emperor.

this is so much my fucking THING it’s insane. i don’t even mind that the king is kinda ...average looking.

and she kicks his ASS LOL. and he falls ultimately deeply in love with her. this is incredible.

i wonder if she’s going to hold the death of his servant against him

they didn’t even take his head? stupid. oh i guess that’s for the traitors.

SHE STILL DOESN’T GET ITS REALLY HIM. I THOUGHT SHE WAS SMART

really - she lets the fucking chief get the credit. are you fucking kidding me? fuck this. be smarter! hate having to say that to a character. Be! smarter!

now he gets to be WHY HIDE FROM YOUR BOYFRIEND WHAT THE FUCK. if this is gonna be the whole fuckign show i can’t take it.

im gonna need to know if she keeps fucking hiding. stop hiding! STOP. stop hiding from the important men in your life! what the FUCK. stop hiding from your dad. Stop HIDING FROM YOUR FUCKING BESTO BOYFRIEND

the prince isn’t even upset about his servant’s demise

fucking finally somebody found out seung nyang was the ONE

I love Strong King - I love vulnerable future Emperor

he’s just a stupid indoctrinated kid! somebody should explain to him all the horrors that have been done to people in his name!

we have a sequence in which she’s done great deeds, gets called in, is concerned about how she slapped the important person around lol

we’re gonna get teh exact same for Togon one day

jezus christ that’s a very romantic thing to say to a cool and heroic young guy who saved your skin twice, king. are you - i n l o v e? a lil bromance perhaps?

awww he’s so damn happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

she’s like - fuck. wish she stayed a little more ruffian though. wheres the fucking swagger!

how am i so into this m/m ship. LOL. im really into this stronk man and rogueish ‘boy’ bonding through hardship crisis crossing all rank

im up for her teaching the prince compassion and horror and the way of the world though

I KNOW this is soon going to devolve into a palace drama though so that fucking sucks

why is the emperor a young guy and the brother an old guy. was the emperor the preferred son? from the preferred wife?

has she never heard a guy pee??? i thought she lived with soldiers and shit

why the fuck is she carrying his excrement to the sea when she’s his BODYGUARD. this went differently than i thought

he literally is alone. there is no shift of the guard with him. hello?

what the fuck is this lax bodyguard shit. you need at LEAST two so one can sleep while the other guards.

everytime she bathes im like - ALARM ALARM

this jimbo traitor is so stupid lol

commander - just approach this stupid idiot. be the dad you want to be.

you could just become his son!!! hello????

so you really care about the peoplle huhg? thats why you keep selling off women?

oh my god. is the prince also falling in love with this ‘boy’? who embodies the masculine ideal? GOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH im gonna cry when this is over and she ends up a fucking maid

this romantic fucking epic music as they struggle in a petty fucking competition in teh surf jlsjLKFJSDLJ:FLDSF I LOVE THIS

SHE VIOLENTLY PERCHES ABOVE THIS GUY TOO. ROMANTIC MUSIC

the koreans KNOW what is good. THEY KNOW.

oh this poor guy. please let this guy meet poor people. like. idk. the stolen women made into slaves and shit

yeah yeah they bond without him knowing about losing a parent and wanting revenge

the king is like, MY BOY!! that’s MY boy!! hands off!!!! that’s my dearest bromance boy friend!!!!

oh no - shes going to have to choose who to ride with lol

oh nooooooooo Seung Nyang don’t hurt King boyfriend !

‘he will not take Seung Nyang, will he?’ i had to double take there

I FINALLY understand the appeal of all unassailable men in romance. god, my brain is weird.

give seung nyang to me. dsjfpawejfeawjfljsdkljldsjflkdfsa dude. no. i know this is a love triangle but it is just within good if they do THIS moment right

the prince is a horrible shit

nooooo seung nyang please don’t hurt the king!!! he loves you!!!!

‘why am i burning up inside?’ YOU LOVE HIM!! YOU LOVE SEUNG NYANG!!! you love this guy!!! the koreans are daring lil mfs

where is the ruffian guy with the moustache and big sword?? he was the king’s left hand man when he wasn’t king yet.

the actress has really feminised Seung Nyangs mannerisms and way of movement past few eps (oh it’s a dream)

oh my god they’re no-homo-ing this through a dream. he just FEELS like Seung Nyang is a woman!!! that’s why he’s attracted!!! lol

seung nyang loses her dad. prince doesn’t notice. jezus

he impressed some dudewith his self-righteous dragon heaven propaganda. goddddd. the prince truly does not care how many people have already died for him. WHEN will he become likeable instead of hilariously piteous

just absolutely devastating end scene. shitty k-pop outtro.o hgod

will the prince finally - through seung nyang realise that actaully it fucking sucks that people keep being horribly harmed and killed for his sake?

JEZUS CHRIST I AM ON EPISODE 5 wHAT THE FUCK THIS IS LIKE 60 episodes long. oh my god no.

the thing i like about this show is that she looks believably like a very feminine boy for korean standards.

they keep playing him as childish, selfish and incompetent. but like, soooo many people DIED FOR HIM

hwo didn’t they kill bayan for obviously killing their own guard lol

finally she confronts him with the regular people!!!

what is lord jang doing with them

wow the commander’s beard is long. they been going for a while

well he is suffering - but can’t she get to him through words. make him a better person?

he is asking an important question. ANSWER IT GODDAMNIT

thsi ‘warming’ is so ridiculous haahahaha

*has full view of covered breasts* ‘he is definitely a boy!!!!’

i don’t know what sexuality politics this is - probably very bad ones - if you’re a straight man then you’re attracted to some fundamental femaleness in women!! or something

why is a bite mark evidence

god - these powerful people have enormous egos. they must, it is bred in them.i deserve power and when it is taken from me it sucks so much i can’t breathe!!! well uh yeah - everybody feels that way you ain’t special

she looks so sick

feels empathy for the first time ever. what a wonderful fantasy. that somebody could teach a prince empathy

*goes into town completely uncovered in royal robes which haven’t been weathered at all* ok

‘why did you hide you are a woman?’ what COMPLETE AND UTTER MALE NONSENSE

WOMEN ARE GETTING DRAGGED OFF TO BE SEX SLAVES AND YOU ASK THAT??? ‘sure, im sure you had your reasons’

WHAT FUCKING IDIOT

53:50

so she gets him in and then he betrays her? lol. but does it really matter? the king won’t be tried, there’s no reason for goryeo to be annexed. seung nyang won’t die. etc. he might as well go back to his deadly golden cage without endangering himself.

is it for her dad that she asks this of him? he faints, eh that’s a fine way out.

cant she hug a king back when he hugs her????? come ON

he almost killed his fucking son. these people are so CRAAAYYYZY

*leaves the people most likely to turn on him behind with the prince*

why does he have to reveal this?? what are the stakes here??”

goryeo’s soldiers???????????? what the fuck. i thought he was gonna come up with something clever like - pirates or something. not just ‘oh it was a random weirdo band of soldiers’ no - ‘under the orders of the king’

WHAT. hes throwing teh whole country to the wolves. if seung nyang doesn’t kill him ill be surprised. seung nyang better get him for this for a thousand fucking years.

so he’s even personally betraying seung nyang. for a tiny chance at power. damn. wow. damn wow.

jezus what a fucking way to leave your daughter! making your last exchange putting yourself down as a father. DUDE. could have ended shit in a better way!

anyway literally cried twice about her losing her dad already

anyway so they both die in her arms. great.

yeaaaaaaah swearing to kill him. good. too bad it’s gonna be like 50 eps of palace maid shit and the prince barely got a taste of poverty

really wonder how traumatising this whole - is revealed as a woman and transferred to the empire as a sex slave thing is going to be - for me i mean

‘he’s probably living well in his homeland’ - how could you trust that your orders will be followed???

this is completely unrealistic wow

doesnt she get a fucking horse

who the fuck was park bhu - the undercop?

oh apparently laughing ugly is an indication of evil for a woman. laughing maniacally is an indication of evil for a man

her archnemesis is gonna unmask her as a woman in public? i think i might have to quit this show at this exact moment.

aaand.....guess ill have to quit.

ok that wasn’t so bad

how did they have women’s silks and makeup with them

she’s literally a martial artist warrior and she can’t fight a rapist attacker with her hands free?

oh god. she’s gonna be all feminine now bc she looks like a girl. oh god. i feel kinda sick.

SHE SUDDENLY DOESN’T HAVE ANY BANGS ANYMORE BUT LONG HAIR

THAT COMB WAS MAGICAL

some classic ‘female body weak’ sexism. love getting that from the beau

i know they’re trying to make danashiri seem unsympathetic but she’s saying fuck you to sexism here. then again it’s because she’s a spoiled elite brat

they really are made for each other

holy shit. this series just goes on and on and on and on and on. i can’t do this.

#vidi #personal #my stuff #empress ki #they are doing absolutely wonderful classic shit for her its amazing #in the first six episodes #then it's like palace drama and shit or whatever #getting preyed on by the guy who killed your mother etc.

You can take my breath away

Summary: "You can take my breath away...or you know, give it back."Jon hated jet skiing or any water sport for that matter. But this year, the Targaryens chose to spend their long weekend at one of the resorts at the Trident. Forced to try the sport, he gets expectedly wiped out much to his horror but the next thing he sees is a flash of white and a blaze of red and sudden warm lips covering his own. Also on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/11772489

This is a bad idea.

That's what Jon Targaryen thought before he was dragged into water skiing.

It was fine at first when it was him who was on the jetski, with his aunt Dany doing the skiing.

"I swear to the Seven if you don't drive me, I will shave all your curls off Jaeharys!"

Oh yes, he could still remember the shrieking and glaring Dany gave him when he flat out refused.

He still refused.

It was the guilt that got him to agree.

His father was in lunch meeting because this was a working vacation while his prick of an uncle Viserys couldn't be swayed because all he wanted to do was drink Mai Tais while Aegon was driving for Rhaenys using her cream colored jet ski, Viserion. So that really left him.

When Dany's fuming and death threats didn't work on Jon, she switched to another tactic. Emotional blackmail.

"Rhaenys is so lucky to have a supportive brother. Whereas I got stuck with two brothers who neglect me, one to his duty, one to his vanity," she pouted, her purple eyes misting. "I just wanted to try out my new jet ski. I was so excited to test Drogon. But I guess it's not meant to be."

Jon swiped his hand over his face then and offered before Dany cries and he'd never hear the end of it from everyone. She was the darling dragon - the highly favored, the breaker of wills.

"Fine, but when I'm driving I'm using Rhaegal," he grumbled. Making his way over to his green jetski.

Dany hugged him then and there they were.

It took some time but Jon figured out the true reason Rhaenys and Dany insisted on doing the skiing, performing tricks and all.

It was the lifeguard.

A tall guy with broad shoulders and red curly hair.

The two of them kept winking at him, waving at him and all the mooning. But this guy, he could tell, took his job seriously. While he did manage to smile back at them from time to time, his eyes were glued to each and everyone on the water much to the girls' disappointment.

"Why don't you just go up to him when he's on break or when his shift is up? He's not going to return your mooning," Jon called behind Dany when they stopped for a break.

Dany just gave him a smirk. "Oh I know. I'm just making sure I'm on his radar."

"Maybe I should just fall and pretend to drown," Rhaenys sighed from behind Aegon when they glided beside them.

Thankfully, Aegon had had enough as well. "Alright, you girls had your fun. It's time Jon and I had our own race," his indigo eyes were flashing while his grin was challenging. "What do you say lil bro?"

"No."

His smile fell and even Rhaenys raised her brow at him. "No?"

Jon shook his head once. "No."

"Okay fine, no skiing. But how about a good ol jet ski race? I'll let you name your terms," he sing-songed.

Fuck. That's interesting. Time for a little payback.

"If, and I do mean this, If, I agree and I win, will you let me use Balerion?"

Aegon's eyes narrowed at him. Jon never did have the best record with cars. And this one was Aegon's baby - a black and red Bugatti Chiron, that flies more than drives with its sweet W16 engine. Jon can't wait to crash it...by accident of course.

Aegon did, after all, nearly wrecked his silver Monza he called Ghost.

"Fine, but if I win, I get first dibs on asking out Val," he smirked and Jon scowled.

Aegon didn't even like the blonde doctor Jon's been trying to work up the courage to ask out. "Deal's off. I don't like using people as bets." He said more for his honor than jealousy.

His silver-haired brother rolled his eyes. "Fine, if you lose, Rhaegal is mine."

Ha! You can fucking have it. I hate water sports anyway. He was the one smirking this time. "Deal." They shook on it.

"Hurry up and get us back on land so we can flirt with the hot lifeguard," Rhaenys smacked her brother's back.

"You could bounce quarter's on that bum," Dany sighed.

"Forget bouncing quarters, I want to lick that six pack while I'm bounci-whoah!" Aegon laughed wildly as he cut of Rhaenys by speeding back to the banks.

"What a dick," Dany muttered. "Don't you dare do that to me, Jon."

Jon gave her a salute before going back.

After settling on a course, Jon and Aegon started back with Dany now on her black Drogon.

"Ready?"

Aegon winked at her while Jon just rolled his eyes.

"Okay, on your mark--ready--get set--go!"

Their dragons roared to life as they sped off the water so fast Jon wasn't sure they were actually touching the water.

"Take it easy on Rhaegal, little Jon, wouldn't want my new jet to get wrecked," Aegon shouted over to him.

Jon pushed until he was a hair ahead of Aegon. "Yeah? Well I can't wait to test Balerion in Dorne with all the sand and st--

"WATCH OUT!!!"

"TURN! YOU IDIOT, TURN!"

But it was too late.

Jon hit a rock, throwing him off and straight under the water.

The impact was so fast and great that he lost consciousness for a second before coming to again, struggling to come up but his foot was still stuck to the harness attached to Rhaegal - well, attached to the scrap of metal that was fast sinking both of them. Just how big was the rock?

He was losing oxygen fast, his vision becoming blurred with pin points of light while his limbs felt like lead.

He continued struggling for a while before he couldn't keep holding his breath anymore, exhaling one big bubble before his eyes started closing.

And then he saw it.

A flash of white and red from the surface coming towards him.

It might've been his mind playing tricks but he saw a pale hand stretching towards him.

Instinctively he reached out but he never found out if the hand was real or not once the darkness overwhelmed him.

Images.

Blurred images.

Flashes.

They came and went as he drifted in and out but they were all the same.

Red and white and the sensation of being pulled.

The next time he came to, the frantic voices of his family barely registered his still fogged up mind.

All he could see was red. So much red and touching.

He was about to choke out water when he felt wet warm lips covering his own, two fingers pinching his nose, while he also felt fingers tilting his chin up.

He tried to speak but it came out as a groan and immediately, the warmth left him and he was choking out water painfully, wheezing and hacking out as he felt the grassy bank beneath him. When he was done, his head hurt so much that he shut his eyes and groaned again.

"What's his name?"

He heard a pleasant feminine yet roughened voice ask.

"J-Jon," he heard Dany sobbed.

He felt a hand then on his shoulder.

"Jon? Hey Jon? Are you with us?"

He managed to squint an eye open and immediately his jaw dropped.

Leaning, practically hovering above him, one arm braced beside his right side, her right hand still on his left shoulder was the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. Beautiful and wet, he noted, seeing the drops of water running down her face and body.

Her eyes were the bluest blue he's ever seen, he locked gaze with it. Her pink lips were parted as she was still steadying her breathing, his eyes darting lower to her heaving chest that he only needed to move a bit forward to graze with how close it was, his eyes quickly shot back up when he realized he was staring, noting instead her long fiery red hair that seemed to burn under the sun, wet and plastered against her forehead and her long white neck -

Her eyes shifted back to Dany or Rhaenys or he doesn't know, Meryn Trant or whoever he didn't care at the moment, willing her with his mind to look at him again while he panted below her.

She did and he saw her full lips move again. "Jon? How are you feeling?"

"My chest feels a little tight. Throat burning. Headache," he gritted.

"Do you know where you are? What day is it? Who you're with?"

He swallowed and it hurt but he can't not answer this woman who he didn't know why she was there. "Green Fork. Friday. My family," he looked over the relative nearest him and saw Rhaenys. "Rhaenys."

Rhaenys was crying and smiling but before anyone could get near him, the redhead shook her head at them. "I'm almost done."

She looked back at him. "What's the last thing you remember?"

He thought for a moment before answering. "I didn't see the rock. Fell under. Got stuck on the life cord then a flash of red...and a hand."

Her lips quirked up on one corner. "Ah. I see."

"C-can I sit up now?"

She nodded and leant back on her knees and that was when I saw that she was wearing the standard red bathing suit with the white cross on the chest and a silver whistle dangling on her neck.

Fuck.

"Y-you're, you're," he sputtered and on the background he could hear snickering.

She leant forward and helped him sit up by putting her arms around him, making him feel warm despite the cool water drying on his body. She giggled. "You gave your siblings a fright there."

She let go once Jon was sitting up on his own, assuming her previous position of half kneeling across from him. "My brother and I tried to warn you about the giant rock you hit." She pointed towards it and it was indeed a massive rock where below it bits and pieces of his green jet was floating about.

"Your jet got completely smashed and you were brought down by the life cord still attached. I had to cut you out," she gestured with her hand.

"You - it was you - the hand - you saved me," he said almost reverently.

Her cheeks colored as she pushed some of the wet strands on her forehead away.

"Oh you should've seen it Jon," Dany looked at him with a knowing grin. "She swam so fast then dove for you and she pulled you out. Did you know you stopped breathing from then?" She paled at that as a look of horror flashed her eyes before she shook her head. "She had to start giving you rescue breaths while pulling you towards her brother's life raft where she continued breathing for you once you were on it."

It was Jon's turn to blush as he tried picturing it then cringe that it actually happened.

What did they say about how funny the universe was? That the day you find the love of your life you'd be on your worst appearance?

Seven hells what a fool he must look like to this gorgeous woman who had to save his life when he was doing something stupid?

Why didn't he just die then?

He covered his face with his hands and groaned.

He jumped when he felt a hand on top of his then that his arms flew to his sides as two deft hands started examining his head.

"Are you okay? I didn't see if you hit your head but I didn't see any bleeding before? Where does it hurt?"

He could barely understand what she was asking. He was too busy analyzing their proximity.

She was so so close that he wanted nothing more but to lick away the droplets on her neck and lower.

More snickering in the background that he snapped out of it and was greeted by those blue eyes again, filled with concern that even if he didn't drown in the Trident, he just might in these blues.

He shook his head but the motion made him wince. "I-I'm fine. A little lightheaded."

She sat back down and nodded but her eyes still analyzed him.

Just then the lifeguard - the only lifeguard he saw before, the one the girls were ogling jogged up to her, gave him a one over before addressing his savior.

"Is he okay, sis? Do we need to take him to the hospital?" sis? Ah that explains the red hair and the blue eyes.

"I don't know. Oh you're shivering!" He watched as her brother opened his kit and handed her a blanket. "I don't think you need to go to the hospital," she said softly draping the towel over his shoulders. "But we do need to observe you back at the first aid tent for at least four hours. But we can still take you to the ER if you prefer to be observed there," she then handed him an oxygen mask attached to a small tank her brother gave out next. "I'll need you to breathe on this for every few moments."

He obeyed but he couldn't face her, feeling ashamed.

"Hey, this happens a lot you know."

His eyes shot up and Jon saw her give him an understanding smile.

He put the mask down and he swore he was melting under her gaze when he realized he hasn't even thanked her yet. But before he could even thank her, his family interrupted.

"Can we hug him now?" Dany asked.

She smiled and nodded at her. "But gently."

At once two sets of arms wrapped around him. "Oh my brother will kill me if you drowned!"

"Gee, thanks for the concern, Dany."

"Aegon! Get over here and apologize to Jon. It's your damn fault!" Rhaenys ordered his brother. "Jon, I'm glad you're okay."

"Thanks now I know who gets the biggest christmas gift from me."

Aegon smiled at him sheepishly when he crouched beside him. "Sorry. I'm glad you're not dead. I jumped in the water right away but your gorgeous lifeguard was like a mermaid, she got to you first. Thank goodness we have such brave, strong, and not to mention, gorgeous rescuers like Miss Stark around," he grinned purposefully at her who blushed.

Her brother raised a brow then and stepped closer to her. "A blessing and a curse. You should see the ridiculous boys we had to ban for pulling fake drownings when it's her shift," he shook his head.

"Oh, I bet you have your share too handsome," Dany purred.

"Yeah, you were so very brave as well," Rhaenys batted her lashes at him. "What's your name again?"

"Robb," he coughed, his ears reddening. "Anyway, my shift is over." The two girls grinned eagerly but he walked over to Jon then. "I'll take you to the tent now if you're okay to move."

"I'll come with you," Rhaenys walked close.

"Me too."

Jon rolled his eyes. "No. I'm fine." He then looked at his savior who was eyeing him curiously. "Thank you Miss Stark."

She crouched in front of him and offered a hand. "Sansa. Just Sansa."

"Sansa," he tested. "That's a beautiful name." He almost cringed at how corny that sounded. Aegon agreed, cackling behind him.

Sansa blushed but brushed it off by offering her hand again. "Can you stand?"

"I'll try."

He took her hand then, marveling for a moment at the feel of her small hand in his larger one. His legs felt wobbly and before he knew it, he was leaning against her as her arm darted around his shoulders to support him. "Whoa, easy now."

Dany looked at him then and smirked just for him before plastering an innocent smile at Robb. "Maybe Sansa should take him there? Like a little break. She did just rescue someone."

At that moment Jon wanted to hug his aunt, he looked at Robb with hopeful eyes but was met with narrowed ones.

"Maybe I should. That way, We can endorse better and I'll come back right away to relieve you," Jon almost had his jaw drop when he saw Sansa give her brother the same innocent look Dany just gave him.

Robb rubbed a hand down his face and nodded. "Fine."

It was only a second but he swore he saw Dany and Sansa exchange smirks.

Sansa then walked towards him, her luscious hips swaying while water still kept running over her perfect body. Fuck, don't go there. It won't do to get turned on in trunks.

She wrapped an arm loosely around his waist and picked up the oxygen tank with her other hand. "Ready to go Mr. Targaryen?"

"Jon."

She grinned wider, "Jon. Will you follow me then?"

Where? To the seven heavens? To Old Valyria? To all seven hells? Yes! Anywhere!

They started walking and Jon was very aware where their bodies were touching.

"Sansa," he tested.

"Yes Jon," he felt tingles whenever she said his name.

"Really, thank you for, erm, saving me."

She giggled. "Just doing my job."

"Still, thanks," he insisted.

She stopped then and moved in front of him, eyeing him up and down that he almost whimpered at how hot and cold she was making him feel.

"I had to literally push Robb and order him to get the life raft just so I'd be the one to dive in after you," she said in a low voice, her hand tugging at one of his curls.

He didn't know how long he gaped at her thinking of her words. "R-really?"

She smirked sexily. "Someone's got to save that cute bum," she winked at him before reddening, turning away and biting her lip.

Her sudden shyness gave him a boost of confidence as he turned her around and pressed her to the nearest wall - which was actually a shed. "I'm feeling a little lightheaded, maybe I need more rescue breaths."

She balked at him before cracking into a smile. "Well then, I am bound by oath to del-

Jon didn't give her time to finish, leaning forward and kissing her despite the aching of his chest and head.

She broke off for air but he started kissing and licking away the droplets that were still on her neck and shoulder like he's been wanting to do since he saw them.

The blanket dropped and Jon shivered. "Wait - you're cold."

He pressed himself against her then and whispered in her ear. "Lucky for me, my savior is warm." He sucked on her lobe making her moan and that moan made him hard.

She felt it. "Wait - you won't be ready for that yet."

"I'm the peak of health thanks to you," he was panting from her and from pain but he didn't care.

She pushed. "No one's peaking unless you've rested your lungs."

He groaned and relented.

Sansa chuckled while she picked up the blanket, draped it back around him, and offered the mask again. "Come on, be a good boy."

He perked up at that. "If I be a good boy, will I get a reward?"

She pouted. "And here I was, saving your life and all and I have to reward you?"

He grinned at her then and pulled her flush to him again. "The second I get a green light, I will dedicate my life to serving my savior her every need and want."

She squeaked then and Jon grinned wider leaning down to kiss her again but she ducked quickly and smacked his ass - hard.

With a cocked brow she grinned at him. "Naughty boy now come on. The faster I get you there, the faster you get your green light."

"Yes ma'am!"

She wrapped her arm around him again while Jon kept trying to steal kisses from her. "That's it, mask on until we get there. Stop it. I need to go back to my post."

"I don't think your brother would mind staying for awhile," he whined.

Sansa giggled. "Your sister and...cousin? Are quite a pair."

"Aunt and sister actually."

"I see," she grinned before cringing. "I just hope they make sound decisions."

"Well they'll definitely make sounds," he couldn't help it. "Still, really, I owe you my life Sansa."

"Oh, stop. Really, it's nothing," she reddened.

"But you will, won't you?'

"Will what?"

He half-smiled hopefully. "Let me show my gratitude."

She looked away but he could see her blushing and smiling. "You really don't have to. It was my pleasure to save you. And when I took this job, I don't expect anything back. Seeing you're okay is enough for me. I'm happy I got to help, really."

Jon's eyes softened. How perfect was she?

"I insist. Please. Help me get my manly dignity back."

She sighed then rolled her eyes before chuckling. "Fine. I might slip you my number. Emphasis on might."

"Or, I could drown again on your shift and you have no choice but to give me rescue breaths again."

She turned and narrowed her eyes. "You wouldn't."

"Oh, I would."

She sighed again. "Well, we're here. In you go."

He touched her arm. "Wait, really, please let me take you out sometime?"

She considered him before smirking. Saying nothing while pushing him inside where he was immediately ushered in by a nurse. "Sansa?" he looked over his shoulder while Sansa was mid-explaining to the doctor on duty.

She just winked at him before continuing her narration with the doctor.

While the nurse led him to sit on a gurney and instructed him to take it easy and keep puffing on the mask every few seconds, his eyes never left his sexy savior.

His heart was skipping when she started walking towards him.

"Well, I guess it's time for me to go."

"Sansa-"

She leant down and hugged him then but it was over before he even knew it was happening.

With a final kiss to his cheek that left him breathless, she smiled at him one final time before leaving with a wave.

Leaving him to groan and contemplate life.

Of course a goddess like her wouldn't be interested in someone like him.

If anything, she'd probably go for Aegon. Fucking Aegon.

But then the doctor interrupted his dark thoughts as he examined him, asked him questions, then instructed him to continue as before.

"Oh and because I know how it feels, I'm giving you this early if you promise to be a good patient for the next four hours," Dr. Patrek Mallister, his coat read.

"I will," he said immediately, dying of anticipation.

Dr. Mallister gave him a slip of paper with writings in green ink. His face broke into a huge grin when he saw that below her name in elegant script, was Sansa Stark's number.

"Must've been a hell of a rescue," Dr. Mallister whistled.

"I'm just lucky, I guess," he barely answered still staring at the note.

The doctor snorted and started muttering about 'nearly drowning' and 'luck' while he saw to another patient.

Life was truly funny.

It took taking his breath away to find a woman who both gave him his breath back but took it away later on anyway.

He's definitely going to call in for more rescue breaths from her.

Especially after he's shown her his deepest, sincerest, gratitude while on his knees before her.

He smirked while puffing on the mask.

Better stock up now before he goes...under...again.

And again.

And there he found a new kink.

Getting rescued and finding ways to earn it.

He leant back and imagined ways of getting her to rescue him again.

Maybe I'll need chest compressions next time.

Or what was that move before? Sometimes rescuers give a...wank to show responsiveness? Fuck that's hot.

I should get a t-shirt that says, "Sansa Stark saved my life."

...and wear it every time after she fucks me.

Yes. Definitely getting a t-shirt if she does.
