I love how Daeran can initiate things at first if you don't. It's like he romances the commander, not the other way around lol. It's a rare thing in games.

Omg yes, you are so right anon! For Salvadore, it was a very new experience. Usually, he is the one who does the courting and strong romantic gestures. He felt terribly flattered and slightly overwhelmed (in the best possible way) to find himself on the receiving end now. I mean, he answered it with strong romantic gestures of his own anyway of course, so it's the giving and the receiving end both for him, still, Daeran has a talent to, how to phrase this ... Daeran has the talent to make the Commander seen. The romance feels meaningful and natural due to the fact that the effort is mutual. The Knight Commander works to truly get to know Daeran, is there for him, helps him with the Other, etc., but Daeran meets them halfway, initiates flirts, makes those incredible gifts, and thinks about the relationship on a profound level - something we get hints and eventually proof for over and over again. There were so many games where we bought/found a love interest a gift and then had the option to comment on them wearing it. Here it's the other way around and it truly adds to the depth of it all. I never saw a romance this well-written in any game before. The connected conversations are spicy, funny, or highly emotional and always on point, it uses beloved tropes but changes them to fit the characters and well, of course, Daeran himself is incredibly multi-faceted and interesting. I recently had this conversation with a friend: You only truly get to know Daeran on the deepest possible level, with all his vulnerabilities and fears and hopes, if you romance him. If you don't, he keeps an important part of himself away from view, even with a trusted commander he cherishes a lot. This full picture is only meant for someone he loves in this life-changing way. It makes the whole relationship feel so deeply special.

So what if your lore isn’t perfect and your timelines don’t match. Or the interpretation of the characters isn’t how someone else believes they should be acting. Guess what? We all see and interpret the world around us differently.

What you believe is how something should be seen is not the only way it can be seen. And, hear me out, they’re fictional characters that we’re writing for free and for fun, putting the silly thoughts of what we believe into the world because it’s just one of the millions of ways to interpret what was canon. If someone just watched Attack of the Clones and decided to write a little fic about the story with the ideas they had, and they consume no other media about the storyline? It doesn’t make them wrong, it doesn’t discredit their interpretation, they gave light to how they saw and reacted to the media, and created a world in their heads with what they were given, about how these characters interact in their head, about what seems good to them.

I just. Let people see things the way they want to. Let them enjoy the worlds they built in their heads.

I’m not going to dig through thousands of hours of comics, books, games, and other various media to find out what’s canon and what’s my dumb thought, because at the end of the day, my dumb thought works best for me, and if you don’t like the way I interpret things, then just… don’t click on the story. Don’t go out of your way to make another person, who’s doing something that makes them even minimally happy, feel horrible about the things that make them happy.

this is best friend’s dad!toji and reader

honestly i'd dig a fic where the Cat King (after getting blitzed by esther and reforming as a new cat) goes limping and pathetic to find Edwin only for Edwin not to recognize him in his new Cat appearance and who proceeds to take care of and exasperatedly fawn over this quiet new companion.

Charles and the New Cat have an inexplicable vendetta no one else in the office understands, Niko is obsessed with dressing the cat up, Crystal just wants the thing to stop shredding and shedding on her clothes. Edwin likes the way the cat purrs softly against his chest late at night when the others have gone to rest. He talks to it about everything and anything, and CK (now pretty well trapped in his sort of accidentalish ruse) has to figure out a way to come clean without totally fucking up whatever tentative thing he's managed to cobble together with his favorite Dead Boy.

injury recovery…

*break an arm or two out there kids!*

Something I think about way too much is how Chuuya’s accelerated healing & (for the most part) physical invulnerability probably reinforced his beliefs that he isn’t human for a long time. And even now, it’s probably still a plaguing thought that he has to fight against.

The fact that one of the only things that causes him to sustain physical damage is the very power that he feels segregates him from humanity.

The fact that during one of the only times that Chuuya is physically vulnerable— for that short period after corruption— Dazai is the only one who gets to see him like that. And how it’s in those moments that Dazai is most tender with Chuuya.

"Bow to me!"

"Behold the power of a king!"

Ngl Malleus' Magic 3 attack lines are so dominant and mean that they're doing something to me.

⚠️ Warning: questionable horny

An overblotted Malleus trying to scare 🌸 into submission. He pins them against the wall and grips their waist so tightly it marks angry red streaks. He whispers terrible words to them; the brutality he wants to do to them, how he would devour them slowly, how he would defile their unconscious body once he breaks them. He connects his feelings with them to feel the utter fear that feeds his corrupted power.

... Except the energy feeding him is an inexplicable feeling of thrill and ecstasy.

Confused, he digs his nails onto their skin deeper.

"Please hurt me-- I mean please don't hurt me." They hiss under him.

"Oh I will not. Not yet. After all, you're yet useful to me when I rut you like a wild animal and forcefully make you carry my spawn--"

"Oh god yes."

"... That was a threat."

"I mean, oh god no."

The overblotted monster could only stare at them blankly, not knowing what to do.

holmes and watson as the sun and moon respectively because holmes is a burning, eccentric force of nature who collapses like a dying star when his mind seizes him, because watson is a solid rock who provides the stone for holmes to lean against and reflects his light by documenting the cases and righting holmes' thought process and scattered bearings. holmes as the light that comes back into watson's life after he's been stripped of hope and forced to wander around london's dark streets without any friends or familiar faces to support him. watson as the calm, ever-present soldier who is capable of burning with equal intensity but is often underestimated in his power because he isnt as outwardly flashy as the sun. holmes as the sun because he does everything with passion, with an inward intensity, watson as the moon because he has the same power but with softer lights, not blinding but glowing, calming. holmes and watson as the sun and moon because they will always be said in conjugation with each other. they belong as one. holmes as the sun because he is the light and watson as the moon is his conductor of light. holmes as the burning sun and watson as the shining moon- do you. do you understand.

!! QUICK PSA FOR TESTOSTERONE TAKERS !!

warning this is a bit gross so i'll put the photos under the cut but i think it's important because nobody told me about this before i started T

if you're taking testogel/any other T that you put on your skin, please for the love of god moisturise the skin you put it on

gel REALLY dries out your skin and as someone with dry skin anyway it caused my skin to flake and scab and break out more which has left a lot of scarring on my back/chest/shoulders

(yes, T causes acne anyway, but for me personally my skin didn't get that much worse after i started and it's improved since i've been moisturising more so that was the problem for me)

obviously there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with having acne or acne scarring or anything like that (it just makes me a bit insecure and means i have to put off getting tattoos there until it gets better), i just wish i'd started taking care of it earlier

also i would Never want to scare anyone off HRT if they want it because it's been a wonderful magical thing for me but there are some uncomfortable aspects of it and this is just one that i didn't know about

Danny loses his parents due to their own lack of safety in the lab (death? Coma? People finally putting their foot down about the Fenton's endangering their kids? Idk pick). Jazz can't take him in due to being in college and living on its campus (and he didnt want to force her into an apartment just to keep him, he saw the prices and knows she'll have to work to make rent) and Danny fears the only place he can go to is... Vlad. (Sam's parents would never let him live with her and Tucker's place doesn't have the room)

Vlad's been lording it over Danny, smug about it all, after all he IS Danny's godfather and he has the space and money to provide for the boy in his time of need.

Only, when digging into Danny's files, his social worker discovers Vlad isn't Danny's godfather, he was meant to be but the Fenton's forgot to send/sign in the final paperwork (even if those documents were the only contact they had with Vlad over the years before the reunion)

No Danny's godparent, the person to take him should anything happen to the Fenton's is....

Lois Lane.

His mom's childhood friend.

Best part about hyperfixations? If I get sad, simply look at the source of my fixation. Boom instant serotonin. It's like a life cheat code

no joke but what I really want for Buddy Daddies as a fandom is to make fanart and fanfic post present time ep12 where Rei wears an arm orthosis when working.

I think varied disability aids being represented would be fantastic, and personally would write Rei as someone being deeply proud of something he's done for his family, but also understanding with time that using an orthosis also helps him at work and in raising Miri. with a giant portion of mobility/motorics aids being represented by prosthetics, seeing more variety and exploring it in fiction would also help making a step in normalising disability treatments.

Eddie loves calling Steve all kinds of Hebrew pet names. In the beginning, Steve doesn't understand what any of them mean, but the love in the way Eddie pronounces the words is so clear that it makes him melt every single time. As he starts learning more Hebrew, he starts using Hebrew pet names for Eddie too.

While Eddie loves using a wide variety of pet names, his favorite will always be neshama sheli (נשמה שלי), which literally translates to "my soul." He loves it because of how poetic it is, and it's a safe way to tell Steve how much he loves him when it's still too scary to say those things in English. Because it rolls off his tongue so beautifully, it soon evolves into something natural to call Steve.

Steve, on the other hand, starts out sticking to a simple ahuvi (אהובי - my love). Learning the language doesn't come easy to him, but as he grows more confident incorporating some Hebrew words and phrases in his vocabulary, he starts to love calling Eddie ugiya sheli (עוגייה שלי - my cookie). He learned that one from Wayne as a joke; Eddie pretends to hate it, but Steve and Wayne both know better.
