#i watched the arcane and was like 'yeah that was pretty good' and then i read an analysis of these two's biographies and i was like
Note
What are your biggest turn-offs when reading/watching historical fiction or retellings of myths?
this is really complicated - i can put it in two boxes, both of which are packed very full.
disconnection from the material reality of the past
when characters display a very specifically modern mindset (about social issues especially, but other stuff too)
(I also get bothered by some kinds of modern language - I don't mind it when, idk, an author uses "sensible" with the modern connotation of "practical" and not the 18th century "emotional" or "empathetic", but "yeah" or "okay," or even, as i found out when someone used it in medieval fantasy, "holy shit" will get on my nerves.)
there are modern things where (made up example!) a character who's supposed to be a cook will talk about making caprese salad for a fancy restaurant in December, and someone snarking on the book will say "yeah, right, they should know better than to make something that depends on a fresh summer vegetable!" and even with greenhouses, that's pretty fair. and that's even more extreme in the past. it's 1650 in Verona, it's December, you cannot obtain fresh tomatoes.
i don't think this means that people in the past were, necessarily, more emotionally or spiritually in tune with the cycle of the year, or the labor it took to get clothes, or furniture, or any other material item, and of course wealth can insulate people from some of that difficulty, but it does mean that the seasons had more direct impact on people's lives. It's possible to, for example, buy clothes ready-made, but for anything fancy, it's more likely that it'll be made to fit if it's new, or altered extensively and painstakingly if it's not. that means that tearing or staining a fancy dress isn't just an issue of looking bad - you can't just replace it, and you probably won't throw it out - you figure out how to reuse it. those concerns of access to material goods are just a lot closer to the surface of the world than they often are now.
my objections to modern attitudes about the world are not that people in the past 100% accepted the views of their contemporaries - there were always people who didn't, and it makes sense that a protagonist would be one of them. but people wouldn't phrase those objections in the same way that modern people would - say your main character doesn't want a woman accused of being a witch burned. "God's power is such that the Devil cannot give this woman the ability to sour milk" is most likely going to be more persuasive to the crowd than "witches aren't real."
and sometimes that's rough - it's not super fun to read about a Roman with Roman attitudes about provincial wars, or slavery in the city, but I put something down because a Roman character said (in internal dialogue) that he was disgusted to see that a man had been tortured because "Romans simply didn't do that." Historical Romans did do that, routinely - a slave could not testify in a law court unless they had been tortured. Even with distasteful things like that, I'd much rather it just be glossed over than to have them say the "correct" modern thing. It just makes it feel too much like the theme park version of the culture.
Both of these are because of specific things I come to historical fiction for - I want that sense of alienation, the gulf of experience. I hate that most historical fiction (and fantasy set in semi-recognizable periods) characters don't really care about Honor, except as a joke, because I love when characters organize their lives around arcane rules and systems that cause tiny things to escalate into blood feud. I just think they're neat! I like it when people's worldviews are shaped by their lack of scientific certainty about what causes crops to fail! If I wanted to read about people who thought and acted like me, and had lives that were mostly similar to mine, only cooler, I'd just read contemporary fiction.

good afternoon here's my big rant on my pet peeves for subtitles in movies and tv
This is a post that I’ve thought about making probably for years now but never got around to. I might add more later if I realize I’ve forgotten any
When it comes down to it, the purpose of subtitles is this: to reflect exactly what the audience can hear, precisely when it can be heard. If you fail to do this, your subtitles are bad and you should feel bad. Although I don’t have concrete examples for most of these off the top of my head, I promise I have experienced them all firsthand at least once.
-> Watch for spelling and typos. Obviously.
-> Syncing issues.
This should go without saying, but the captions should be synced as closely as possible with dialogue and sound effects. Subtitles that are out of sync are worse to me than no subtitles at all. They’re unbearably distracting and I have to turn them off. I’m fortunate enough that I can keep watching without them, so imagine how frustrating this is for someone who needs to keep them on no matter what.
-> Jumping the gun.
This is basically an example of out-of-sync subtitles that are slightly too fast, but it gets its own category because it ruins the viewing experience in its own unique way. In particularly dramatic scenes, actors will often draw out their lines or pause between phrases. Captions sometimes fail to reflect this by displaying the entire sentence all at once, allowing the audience to read what someone is about to say before they actually say it, which deflates all the dramatic tension of the scene.
-> Phantom captions.
This one is less self explanatory, but it’s kind of similar to syncing. Sometimes there will be significant intervals of time between lines of dialogue, especially after a scene ends and a new one begins. The interval may include music, sound effects, or complete silence, but what I’m calling a “phantom” is a caption that stays on the screen after that last line of dialogue is delivered until the next line is spoken. I don’t remember what I was watching, but there was one that was glued to the screen for SEVERAL MINUTES over what was supposed to be an atmospheric break between scenes and it drove me nuts. In my experience this happens more often with older subtitling for DVDs and some old videos and less with modern streaming.
-> Straight up spoilers.
Sometimes, a character will speak whose true identity has not yet been revealed to the audience. If I’m not supposed to know the character’s name yet, don’t just… tell me right there in the captions whenever they say something. Descriptors like “disembodied voice”, “man”/”woman”, “mysterious figure”, etc. will suffice.
-> Lack of musical descriptors.
It usually helps to describe the genre or emotion of the music that’s playing rather than just writing [music] or 🎵. That being said, if there is a song playing that’s particularly well known in the mainstream, I think it’s useful to actually include the name of the song. This one I do have a concrete example for: in Arrested Development, Gob always blasts The Final Countdown during his acts. But the captions on my DVDs for the show always describe it as [stagy pop]. Like yeah I would say that song is some pretty stagy pop, but I think a lot of the humor comes from knowing that it’s specifically The Final Countdown by Europe because it’s such a perfectly corny selection that Gob would make.
Another musical failure is not transcribing pertinent lyrics. If the song is playing in the background, then that’s understandable and it can be kind of distracting if there’s dialog happening on top of it because the audience isn’t actually meant to be paying close attention to the song. But if the song is front and center, like for a musical number or montage, then the lyrics can be pretty important. Last year when I watched Arcane on Netflix with my family (a recent, high budget production from the biggest streaming platform ever), the show had the nerve to write [man rapping] over a musical sequence. Imagine if all subtitles ever just said [person speaking] for the entire movie.
-> Affectations.
If a character starts using a silly voice or accent, or if the sound of their voice changes in any way, describe that. If the audience can hear the difference, the subtitles should reflect that difference. And they should reflect it informatively and accurately; for example, don’t just say [mock accent], but specify [mock French accent].
-> Paraphrasing.
I don’t even know why this is an issue, but it’s alarming how many times the subtitles just… straight up don’t match what the characters are actually saying. It’s like the transcriber was forced to write all the captions from memory, so they kinda sorta say the same thing, but the wording is different and some sentences or phrases are missing. When I brought this up with my mom she theorized that the transcriber was working off the script for the movie because hey, that’s all the dialogue already written down, right? But it completely fails to account for revisions, improvisation, or actors delivering their lines even slightly different than how they were originally written.
And last but certainly not least, one of the biggest offenders in bad subtitling…
-> [Speaks foreign language]
If someone says something in another language, please, for the love of god, do not just write [speaks foreign language] and call it a day. Specifying the actual language is an improvement, but this descriptor only works if the audience members are truly not meant to know what’s being said (which is sometimes the case). If a character is only saying a single word or phrase in another language, transcribe it. As in, write down the actual words that they said. If you don’t speak that language, find someone who does. You are insane for transcribing a character saying “hola” or “abuela” in an otherwise English sentence as [speaks Spanish] (real examples I saw respectively in Rango and JANE THE VIRGIN. THERE’S SO MUCH SPANISH IN THAT SHOW).
If the audience is supposed to know what someone is saying in another language, English subtitles will usually be hardcoded. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, LET THE CAPTION SAYING [SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE] COVER THESE UP. This is actively impeding understanding, not helping it. Jesus christ
* Please keep in mind that I’m not deaf or hard of hearing and I don’t have auditory processing disorder; I almost always watch movies and tv with subtitles whenever the option is available because it helps me absorb information better. If I don’t even strictly NEED subtitles and these are issues for me, I can only imagine how much more difficult it is for those who rely on them more heavily. I invite you to add your own perspective!!

Hey dears!
I've been getting addicted with playing Valorant recently and thought it would be fun to try and make some hcs for Mizu <3
Clove's release is so exciting and I'm so happy non-binary people are given some representation in games. They're so much fun and their ult mechanic is such a game-changer.
Please tell me if you'd like me to make more of these or if I should make some for other games too (as long as I know them well enough).
Anywho, let's go!
Enjoy! Mwa mwa :*
warnings: not proofread, the use of "clutch or gay", she/her for mizu
mizu has a crush on you :3
✦ Her fave maps are Icebox and Bind. Whenever you play comp with her and these maps roll up, you're internally fucking hollering. You're thanking every possible deity there is, dancing in your seat, kissing your monitor.
She's such a god in these maps. Every good agent for every role, every lineup, and even some pro play shit strats, she memorized it.
She loves Icebox for how easy it was to clear angles and how easy it was to formulate AND predict strategies. The map was pretty straightforward and no bullshit. Perfect for her.
Bind for the outplay potentials. Teleporters + Yoru TP/Omen TP and Ult? There's no telling where she may be. Will she plant in A? Will she plant in B? Maybe she's already flanking? Who knows?
✦ Mizu doesn't buy skins but she DOES have some. They're gifts from you and her friends! An oni phantom, neptune spectre, and sovereign marshal from Akemi; An arcane sheriff from Taigen because they're probably taking their shit-talking to League too; and a reaver vandal, reaver karambit, and the oni katana from you.
She doesn't really give a shit about skins, but ever since she was gifted one, she started appreciating them. You'll see her using the inspect animation once in a while if she picks up a skin she's never seen before.
If it's just a chill comp game or she's playing solo queue, she'll use the oni katana. If she's playing with you and/or wants to show off, she'll use the reaver karambit. Of course you have to go with the sexy one when trying to impress.
✦ Doesn't shit talk heavily, but shit talks in a way that'll piss you off.
"Ooooh shit someone's mad," you laughed over the voice-comms, watching as the enemy Reyna started spewing all sorts of insults at your team. It was mostly targeted at Mizu, who was also playing Reyna, and was top-fragging. Soon after that fiasco, you'd see Mizu type "." in all chat every time she killed the enemy Reyna, got a clutch, and even an ace. Everyone was snickering at her antics, finding it funny how Mizu was shitting on them while the enemy was clearly progressively getting even more tilted.
On the other hand, if Taigen was there and Mizu failed to clutch the round, he'd be laughing loudly over the voice chat, making fun of her over and over. He'd even type "GG [insert Mizu's current agent]. Aimlabs is free" in team chat, which was so fucking embarrassing. The moment Mizu catches Taigen lacking, she'll be having a hayday in the team chat, spamming "GG [insert Taigen's current agent], Aimlabs is free" over and over which effectively pisses Taigen off.
✦ Along with the previous one, if someone ever decided to trashtalk you, she's going absolutely feral. She still wouldn't be spewing nonsense, but you'll notice her becoming more aggressive.
"Didn't you just use your ult?" You asked her, spectating as she used another Reyna ult which you swore she just used two rounds ago. "I just feel like playing a little better today," she replies. But then goes to strafe like a fucking bitch, doing a poppin' swing once or thrice, making the enemy struggle before killing the enemy and t-bagging them aggressively.
You raised an eyebrow at her antics but still laughed at it. "You sure you're not here for blood?" you joked. "Yeah.." she said while spamming your trashtalker's KD status in all-chat.
✦ There's no doubt about how well she plays with different agents, but her worst agent to use would be Gekko. Something about Dizzy's trajectory and letting Wingman plant and defuse felt off to her. Maybe it was because she was used to having control over the speed of her flashes and being able to fake defuse.
✦ Actually responds to "clutch or gay" jokes.
If a random teammate or anyone in your friend group (mainly Taigen) decides to use that joke on her during a clutch situation, it doesn't matter if it's a 1v1, a 1v5, a 1v5 + Sage res + Clove ult. She's winning. She's fucking winning.
You watched in anticipation as Mizu, using Omen, went through attacker spawn in Breeze. It was a 1v4, having picked one off when she picked up the spike. For a moment, you thought of something before typing "clutch or gay" in team chat. It worked for your other friends and randos, why not try it?
The moment she read that chat from you, you could immediately see Omen throwing his weapons off of the map. The noise of the agent's footsteps prompting the enemy to shoot him. "Bro what the fuck are you doing?" Taigen groans, annoyance heavy in his voice. Mizu doesn't respond in voice chat, but you hear her typing. After a while, a chat pops up.
(Whisper) From mizu: did you see that?
(Whisper) To mizu: mhm. why'd u do that :c
(Whisper) From mizu: you said clutch or gay
(Whisper) From mizu: i didn't clutch.
But she only ever does this to you.
✦ Actually plays fill but everyone in your friend group decided to place her as a duelist. She's going to treat every agent like a damn duelist anyway. Why place her somewhere else? You get site early and fast + She gets higher RR from combat score. It's a win-win. Plus, she loves secretly showing off to you. She relishes the "woah where'd you learn to satchel like that?", the "nice kill!" when she wins in an Iso 1v1, and the way you bought her an op upon her request when she used Jett as if you automatically trusted her.

Loved the accidental boner post--
can we get one for arcane men??? (Silco, Viktor, Jayce, Ekko)
Hell yeah you can Anon!
Pairing: Viktor, Jayce, Ekko, Silco x Fem!Reader
Tags: nsfw smut, awkward boner, degradation, masturbation, cum shot, face fucking, embarrassment, grinding, quckie, coming in pants, moaning, dirty talk, hiding
A/N: Getting in the groove of writing for Arcane again. Feels really good.
Viktor usually likes to wait until you get home. Because he can't exactly do it everywhere he would like to the home or sometimes the lab is the safest bet for the two of you.
Oh believe him he would love to throw you against the wall and fuck you until your legs give out but he is a logical man, and as such he will settle for the logical thing of waiting until you're home so he can drop his pants, drop you on your knees and fuck your pretty mouth until he shoots his cum down your throat, trusting you to catch him if he ends up going overboard, if you're not choking on his cock that is.
"Careful not to make a mess darling. We have guests arriving tonight, I wouldn't want them to step in here and see my cum all over the floor. I know you've been looking at me since the last class but please show some restraint in the future. Otherwise I might change my mind about being professional and bend you over my desk next time."
Tries to hide it from you. It'd be embarrassing to get caught walking down the Council building or Academy hallways with a huge tent in his pants.
You had to have known what you were doing when you kept touching his thigh like you did. Was this some kind of payback? Well he will pay you back, just you wait until he gets you alone and you're on all fours for him, being split open by his girth for teasing him.
"Lab door is still unlocked babe, careful not to draw too much attention now. If you didn't want this then why did you keep teasing me? I'd just start to calm down and then you'd brush against my dick again. Don't I fuck you well enough at home, you need to be fucked here too? I didn't know you were a bitch in heat."
Wants you to take care of it before his next mission. It was enough that he had to scramble into his room before anyone could tease him about it, he is not going out like this.
He can't even wait until you take his pants down, he's pushing you against the bed and grinding against you until he finishes for the first time. As his luck would have it this wasn't enough. Fucking great. Now his pants are a mess and he's still hard. Time for plan B. Or rather plan P, turn around show him your pussy, let him get a quick fuck in.
"Not good enough Firefly, looks like I'll have to fuck you after all. You wanted this did you, you did right? Fuck, better make this fast I can't fly like this. I promise to take my time with you later tonight but right now I really, really need to come."
Makes you beg for him to fuck you. He's stroking his cock, legs fully open, jacking off inches from your face. You made him like this so you get to watch him, taste him and beg to be turned around and fucked.
Doesn't matter where you are, in his office, waiting for the Chembarons, in a hidden corner of the Last Drop, he will make you beg and beg well. You already have your mouth open to receive his cum but do you think you deserve it with the way you've been behaving?
"Looking at me like you want something. Speak up darling, I don't understand slut speak. Loud and clear. Good job, knew you were capable of using your mouth for more then just sucking cock. Want it bad? Not sure you earned it to be quite honest. How about you do something to convince me. Like what? Perhaps a nice target for my cum to fall onto."

an au in which.. well different outfits that the ninja have had are actually just who they are
okay so i have much to explain so STRAP IN
so i came up with this idea really suddenly like ten million thoughts just hit me in the head, but the main concept is that
the world is actually a post apocalyptic style scenario, there's an "above" new ninjago city, that was built on top of the old overgrown and kind of abandoned old ninjago city (i imagine it having like glowy mushrooms and stuff and having some sort of a pretty factor to it)
i also see this whole world being full of like a multitude of different species with all sorts of wacky features (this is all kinda like years and years after the disaster that destroyed the og ninjago, so it has very cyberpunk-y and modern elements)
let's call it the (PA au. just post apocalyptic for short)
(this has been compared to that one show called arcane before. i. ive never watched arcane. /gen.. so yeah. i know its similar. its a coincidence. i promise. )
now, our characters consist of
kai - aka. the red shogun. (the outfit is prime empire kai, kind of combined with the red shogun outfit from season 4) a villain turned superhero vigilante, who's just doing his gosh darn best, and has a whole team who keeps his back safe!
lloyd - aka. GB (prime empire lloyd) a trained mercenary and the leader of a gang that does everything from trading substances, weapons and machines in the black market, to simply bounty hunting. he's an untrustworthy, quiet but sly and feared leader, whos really just a sad and lost kid at heart. people say he takes after his father, but he wouldnt admit that.
jay - aka. superstar rockin' jay!! (prime empire jay, ofc) he's a celebrity rockstar both in the above world AND in the undercity. though he mostly spends his time up above. he's still part of kai's vigilante team!
nya- aka. THE FREAKIN SEA (seabound nya) she's a part of the sea that decided "fuck it!! we ball!!" and left to see what life on land is all about! she met kai and quickly became really close with him and they became siblings! shes the first member of his team! and she's kind of confused but she's DEFINITELY got the spirit!
zane- aka. snake jaguar (the outfit from sons of garmadon) just like kai he's a vigilante, a wielder of ice. he goes undercover in lloyds gang and becomes his right hand man, but gives crucial information to his team, so they can take down lloyd's operation.
cole- ROCKY FREAKIN DANGERBUFF, yet ANOTHER member of kai's team, he's from the dangerbuff clan! one of the groups of people who live their lives in the undercity. he's a dancer and a beast hunter, but also a kick ass hero just like the rest of the team!
pixal- samurai x!! she's also a hero, that kind of rivals red shogun and kind of doesnt like him at all, but she does get kind of close to one of his team members... if you know what i mean
i will say that ALL the members of the squad still have their elemental powers, i havent yet properly fully thought that part out but i know for sure that they do.
SO YEAH. lloyd is actually kind of the villian for a large part of this au. i tried my best to not change his personality in a way that wouldnt be natural for his character to progress. in my head he grew up kind of sheltered from the outside world entirely. he's not really a... person? he's his role and thats that. he was never really loved by anyone therefore doesnt really know...emotion. all that well. he may act like a bratty teenager from time to time when he's taunting his enemies, but that's just... a character that he's playing up. he really just has no clue what hes doing.
(everything im not saying here is in the little notes i left on the drawings, though they may not be canon since i wrote down concepts and ideas there too)
his dad, garmadon, also is a little different in this au. basically "good" garmadon isnt really a thing (hes basically JUST the version from the oni trillogy). he was the previous gang leader BEFORE lloyd but he vanished and supposedly died. so lloyd had to take his place.
the ACTUAL. REAL VILLAIN of this au is harumi. who, fr. is still just herself. she's also kind of the second in command to lloyd. and she betrays him. and kind of takes the gang all to herself. leaving lloyd to help out the heroes...and finally find a family in the process.
its very emotional in my head and i am so scrambled right now these are the only semi-coherent thoughts.
i would LOVE to talk more about this au. if you have any questions or ideas or ANYTHING really.. do send asks about it... im in such deep brainrot for it and rambling on tumblr is apparently a thing that i do! (who wouldve thunk!)
this au was also made with the help of @shadesofvermillionvoid as USUAL.. so you can send asks there too!!! give kai all the love ever ash deserve it!!
... and to whoever bothered to read all this. wow. thank you! :D i feel very seen

Watched arcane bc this au. Now I'm more worried about donnie
I wouldn’t worry too much! We’ve strayed pretty far from the Arcane/Jinx inspiration. It may have been the impetus for this whole AU, but I think AU!Donnie is now his own character! I don’t know if the Arcane writers will give Jinx a happy ending, but Donnie certainly will be getting one. After all the hurt he’ll go through it feels wrong to not give him the comfort. But I’m glad you watched Arcane! It’s so good, that any time someone tells me they checked it out because of my AU I’m like 👍 👍 heck yeah!

Titan Ombra
Template by lovely @malicedragoness <3
Note: This is so close to “Rise of the Villains: Darker than Black” ending but it’s not the same. So yeah, minor spoilers ahead! Also, this is not proofread.
Title: Ombra the Ironhead, Goddess of knowledge and revenge
Motto: “I infect their minds like a deadly desease.”
Powers:
Ferrokinesis - Ombra has full control over iron, but she can also manipulate other kinds of metals without being able to create them out of thin air.
Gift of Knowledge - Ombra is able to manipulate the minds of those she has chosen to make them “aware”, or in other words, grant them the awakening. Once the awakening has happened, that person unearths the arcane knowledge of the universe whether in just a second (by Ombra) or a lifetime.
Call of rebellion - Ombra gathered an army of angry people all around the tealms to rebel against the cult. She can do that now with less effort.
Realm they favor: Not a realm, but Quan Chi’s timeline. Also, she tends to spend more time in Metalrealm since she used to live there most of her life.
Places of Worship: There are temples all over the realms in which people can go to and pray. At the beginning of her timeline, Ombra was unsure about whether make herself known to her creatures, or keep her identity classified. But then she realized that it’s for the best to do what the Elder Gods did in the previous timeline. So Ombra created her own cult and religion in order to control the creatures. That was exactly what she fought against in the previous timeline, but she came to realize that she was stuck in a loop. There was no escaping this eroded system. Gradually, she watched herself turn into something she used to hate with every bits of her being.
Consort: Titan!Quan Chi is now her unofficial official husband. They found each other again after eons of loneliness and anticipation. However, Ombra made sure that the Quan Chi in her timeline has the good life he deserves.
Physical Appearance: Ombra now has short hair - it’s pretty short on the left side close to her forehead, and it gradually grows longer as it circles around her head to her right side -. Her left eye is golden, and the skin around it is gray with golden edges and veins as though it was exploded. The scars on her cheeks which grow from her iron jaw are golden as well.
Armor/Style of clothing: Ombra remains loyal to the style she used to have in the previous timeline. She’s almost always is seen to be wearing a black overcoat which makes her look a bit huge. Underneath that she wears customized vest with gothic elements, a shirt or a turtleneck. As for shoes, Ombra wears knee-high punk/gothic boots.
Weapons: Ombra doesn’t really need any weapons as she is able to create a lot of them with her powers. However, when it comes to her weapon of choice, Ombra prefers a gunblade. She can manipulate the blade while also shooting those who have dared to wrong her.
How does Geras help them/regard them: They have a love-hate kind of relationship. Geras a admires her calculated and intelligent character, but he also knows what she did in the previous timeline - causing an apocalypse -. At first he tried his best to stop her from executing her new plan: killing the remaining cultists and aiding the deadly alliance. But now he feels like his mindset is gradually becoming like Ombra’s. She’s the one in control after all.
Any characters or events that have drastically changed that you would like to mention?:
1. Quan Chi is the protector of the Netherrealm because he deserves the best.
2. Her parents are alive and have a good life without her. She just watches them from afar.
3. Shao Kahn is the protector of Outworld.
4. Jerrod and Sindel rule Edenia, and Kitana is their only daughter. Then Kitana falls in love with Jade, her bodyguard.
5. Hotaru is the protector of Orderrealm.
6. Havik is the protector of Chaosrealm.
7. Shirai Ryu doesn’t exist.
8. Raiden and Fujin are Ombra’s butlers.
9. Tarkatans are a race of people who live somewhere far from the cities of Outworld. Mileena is their princess.
Backstory/Notes/Tidbits:
The whole world was pouring down my fingers, splitting in between them. The Elder Gods were clawing at the last rope of chance to save their throne, never accepting that it was already too late. Cetrion had sheltered behind her mother, begging her to end me. Little did she know that I would never be dead really. Thousands of me was born all across their realms with sharpened teeth, ready to follow my footsteps. However, I was left with no choice but to fight Kronika in combat.
After the keeper of time turned into solid stone before my eyes, and was shattered to dust, I kneeled down. The blood staining my overcoat was almost invisible. It was only Kronika’s dust which shone like stars over this black sky.
Now I was the keeper of time. This uninvited responsibility of restarting the whole timeline and creating the new one fell heavy on my already exhausted shoulders. It was true what they said about people like me. We fought with monsters only to turn into one. Now I was one of them, exactly. It was all a cycle perhaps.
But I was granted with the greatest power. The reality would bend to my will. I would keep chasing any remaining cultists, and remind them who was their worst nightmare. And I would only hope that one day, I’d shroud myself in Quan Chi’s arms with a peaceful mind.

Home Sweet Home (Yandere viktor and Jayce x reader)
A/n: okay, hear me out. I know I said I wouldn’t write romantic Headcanons/ fanfics BUT, I thought this would be cute. I am terrible at writing romantic fics, so this could be interpreted either romantically or platonically, it’s up to you. Sorry for the influx of Arcane fics. Please like, comment, and reblog if you enjoy.
“Keep your eyes closed!”
“I am!”
“You two need to quiet down, you’re both incredibly loud.”
You and Jayce continue to argue as you’re led blindly down to an unknown location. You can feel the twists and turns of the hallway, but the setting seems unfamiliar.
“Are we there yet?” You groan.
You hear Viktor giggle, “No not yet.” You sigh, Jayce patting your back to continue moving.
“Where are we going anyway?” You ask, turning you head to where you think Jayce is. You feel him turn your head the opposite direction, laughing playfully.
“I can’t tell you, It would ruin the surprise.” You sigh again, louder this time.
“Oh, stop complaining, we’re almost there.” Viktor says, his cane clacking as he walks.
After what feels like forever, you finally stop. Jayce let’s go of you, you hear him pull what sounds like keys out and unlock something. Suddenly, you’re being led somewhere again by Jayce.
“You can open your eyes now.” Jayce says, watching as you slowly open your eyes, widening as it’s met with the large open room.
“So… what do you think?” Viktor implores, eyes scanning across the large apartment.
“I’m confused.”
“About…”
“What’s the gift?”
“The apartment?” You gawk, bug eyed.
“Wait, you bought me an apartment?” Jayce looks confused, tilting his head.
“Do you not like it?” You quickly shake you head, waving your head in protest.
“No I love it. It’s just….” You pause, observing the room. It screams expensive. Fancy furniture, wallpaper, even the smell is posh, “expensive.” You finished
“We’ll it’s good we’re paying for it.” Jayce laughs, looking at you with fond expression. Viktor just nods, agreeing with his friend.
“You guys didn’t have to do that for me.” You mumble, embarrassed. You fiddle with your fingers, suddenly feeling small.
“We wanted to.” Viktor says, breaking you out of you stupor, Jayce continuing.
“Yeah, and it’s in the middle of our apartments. So we’re close by.” He mentions, rushing forward and leading you by the small of your back deeper into the apartment, “look, there’s even a balcony.”
The scenery is beautiful, we’ll all of Topside is beautiful, especially compared to where your from. Jayce gazes at you as you watch the people walk below you.
“So you do like the apartment?” He asks again, leaning on the railing “because if you don’t we can find another one. This wasn’t even the first one we picked out, just the only one available. It’s pretty small compared to what we woul-“
“Jayce!” You yell, interrupting him. “I like it. Don’t worry.” You smile, him smiling in return.
“I’m glad.”
“You two, come here!” You hear Viktor yell from the inside. “I want to try out the kitchen.” Jayce takes you by the hand as you walk in together.
A/n: this was just a short little thing, hope you enjoy.

Character Introduction: Detective Ivander Montane, champion of greed
“So.” Unconsciously, Ivander began to fidget with his tie pin. If he had known, he would have stopped immediately. Fidgeting was an unbecoming habit. “You have a story for me?”
Ceyrel’s face immediately folded into a guilty uncertainty. “Well….” The woman hesitated, curling a strand of brassy hair around one blood-red claw. “I got a letter from my sister in the Republic yesterday night….”
“Wait, Lavir, Tagwyn, Brigid, or Arta?” Ivander asked. “You have a lot of sisters.”
“Lavir, obviously.” Ceyrel rolled her eyes. “The Reppies would never give a passport to a dwarf.”
“Of course, my mistake. Please continue.”
The trials and tribulations of Ceyrel’s massive hobgoblin-dwarven family were standard fare for their gossip sessions, so Ivander wanted to get an idea of who he was dealing with, and by extension the veracity of the news. Lavir—Ceyrel’s full sister—was a trustworthy sort, if prone to attachment issues and not repaying her debts on time. Ivander figured he could believe the contents of any letter she sent.
“So anyways, I get this letter from someplace along the Sulu’Okan-Skolandi border. Bekridge, I think it was called? Some decent-sized town Lavir decided to stay the night in before heading up to Landanium. But that’s not important.”
“Then what is?” Ivander winced impatiently. His knuckles were beginning to feel like someone had poured molten lead in between them. Too much writing in one day.
He saw Ceyrel spot his flinch and noted the resigned concern that flared in her eyes. She knew of his curse, though he’d never given her the whole story. However, the woman was a damn skilled detective. Between his abilities and the esteemed Montane name he still carried, she probably had a few theories. Wrong ones, of course, but a wrong theory could still be good.
“Yeah, so she’s telling me all about how shit the roads are down there and how it's just kind of a free-for-all along the border. No conners, no government anything, except the taxman. They even have this awful debtor system that’s basically just feudalism with extra steps. She said she hired a bodyguard to take her through some of the marshy stretches, because apparently if the human bandits don’t get you, the selkie raiders will.”
“This is all important because, Ivander, you have to understand how barbaric it is down there. I know I tease you about growing up with your own bank, but these Reppies make my family look just as hoity-toity as yours. They still have penal slavery, and lords, and require non-humans citizens to wear government medallions. So, when I tell you that my sister wrote to tell me about a murder of all things, you’ve got to understand how bad it was.”
“A murder. In the Republic.” Ivander shrugged. “I’m not sure what this has to do with me.”
“Still getting there. Apparently, the night Lavir was staying in Bekridge, there was a murder in one of their arcane distilleries. The town is big into alchemical manufacturing, being so close to the N’Diki swamp and all. Just after she heard the news, Lavir went to poke around because she’s even nosier than me and managed to sneak a peek at the scene of the crime.”
Now, Ceyrel’s golden eyes went deadly serious—from Ivander’s chatty friend to the hardboiled investigator every smart thug south of Council Round knew to watch out for.
“The victim was found missing a perfect circle out of the back half of his skull. Painted on the body were runes. Lavir’s pretty into all that magic stuff, but she said she didn’t know a single one….”
Ivander’s body went icy. It froze at the first mention of the broken skull and kept freezing until he felt as if he would shatter apart into a hundred hurting pieces. Memories whirled through his mind; a university corridor splashed with gore, a brothel full of sobbing prostitutes, a warehouse, a fabric store, and a kitchen still echoing with a child’s screams. Long sleepless nights and eternal agonizing days.
And worst of all, hope.
Ivander is a selfish man. Know this before anything else. Remember this above all else. Despite his gossiping tongue and steady hands, greed is at the core of his corroded heart, be that for good or ill.
Ivander was born to the wealthy and influential Montane family, in the grand trade city of Unity. Such wealth and influence came from one place; the banks. Long ago, the first Montane progenitor made a deal with Timaz, the Illarian god of greed. In exchange for the power to write unbreakable contracts and call on the occasional miracle, this ancestral Montane promised Timaz the obedience of their family, along with their souls and the souls of those they make contracts with. Using this power, the Montane family has come to control every bank in Unity, from the vaults of the Merchant Council to the payday shacks in the east side slums. They trade their undying loyalty for unlimited wealth.
Ivander was born to the family's patriarch, Antonin Montane, and his foreign, Cloud Folk bride, Idrin Pashan-Baijahreet. When Ivander was eight, his mother disappeared, never to be spoken of again. From a young age, Ivander was trained by his Uncle Marius (Antonin had more important business than raising a son) in the ways of the Montanes. He learned economics and theology hand in hand. Like all young Montanes, he was not allowed to leave the family compound until he signed his divine contract.
This signing happened when he was sixteen. Ivander was escorted to his father's office, whereupon his relatives held him while the contract was carved into his chest by way of ritual scarification. He carved his own name beneath it all in the end, and became a Chosen of Timaz. After that, he was permitted to join the family business.
For four years, Ivander worked in a bank under his uncle. Even from the beginning, signing people onto inescapable contracts made him uneasy. But as the things he convinced people to do became worse and worse, Ivander began to doubt his family. It was after he convinced a man to sell his children as indentured servants that he finally ran away. He thought he could repent and put some good into the world to make up for the bad. The thing he forgot about though, was that on a scale of vengeful gods, the god of greed is pretty high up there.
The Montane contract protects from direct divine wrath. However, it does not protect from a god sending the offending Montane a slow-acting, deadly curse. Ivander's curse isn't complicated; he's turning slowly into mist. Slowly and painfully, ever bit that's evaporated leaving behind another inch of flayed flesh or pitted bone to torment him. Every waking moment is pain for Ivander. The curse was not so bad when he first left his family, so he decided that his path to doing good would be to join Unity's Bureau of Arcane Investigation. The BAI roots out magical crime in the massive city, so Ivander thought it would be the perfect place for him. In a way, he was right.
The BAI is, was, and always will be corrupt. That corruption and the menial evil of everyday crime seeps into a person. Ivander never ended up doing much good there, though he did learn to line his pockets well with bribes. All he got in trade for leaving his family was a slow death sentence and a new way to exploit people.
This is where we find him, sort of. For you see, Ivander has found a murder case that just might be the thing that can protect him from his slow death. And he will do whatever it takes to save himself. This is where The Mystery of the Mortal God picks up.
As a person, Ivander is defined by his upbringing. He grasps for any advantage he might take, lies unrepentantly, and keeps any people who might strive for a close relationship at arms length, no matter how he might long for such a thing. The issue with intimacy isn't helped by the fact that his curse has left him disfigured. He wears an illusion to cover his true face, however, such a thing won't hold up under close examination. This practice might seem vain, but on the order of sins, vanity isn't really a concern for Ivander. A man just likes to look dapper sometimes, you know? Another big trait of Ivander’s is that he's a huge gossip. He loves knowing everyone's business and all sides of a story, which actually makes him a half decent detective if a case catches his interest.
Looks-wise, Ivander stands at about 5'8" and is much lighter than even his slender frame would suggest. He also looks younger than his 30 years. This is more through a quirk of his heritage than anything illusory though. It's from his mother's side that Ivander got his blue blood, double pointed ears, and too-blue eyes. On his father's side, he's elven, human, dwarven, and siren. In Unity, this would make him many-lined (of too many peoples to identify with any one). His illusory face is a handsome one, with swept back black hair and a thin mustache and goatee. His true face is a corroded ruin, missing much of its eyelids and lips. He wears bandages to keep blood from getting on his fine suits and walks with a cane. The illusion itself is held by an onyx tie pin inscribed with hidden runes.
Now fun facts!:
Ivander's condo is color-coded. Blue for the bedroom, green for the sitting room, yellow for the kitchen, purple for the bathroom.
He's a crack shot with a rune rifle.
He makes his money by investing bribes on the stock exchange using all of his insider Montane knowledge. He might’ve left his family, but that doesn't mean he's going to live in squalor.
Paperwork is his favorite detective duty.
His case partner is a hobgoblin woman named Ceyrel Gavorn. Ivander thinks of her as his dear friend, even if he'd never say so aloud. They're both incorrigible gossips.
He takes all thunderstorms as personal wrath from the gods against him in particular.
He lies for fun.
Out of the other MG pair, Ivander finds Mashal to be an incredibly kind and brave man. Ivander and Astra, on the other hand, hate each other's guts.
And that's a wrap on main POV character! I think maybe I'll do antagonists next, or places, or side characters. Whatever I decide though, I hope you find detective blueboy to be entertaining, and as always, lmk if you have any questions.
Have a bitchin day <3

"All Characters Are Equally Important" Is Usually A Lie
There is another media thing I kinda wanted to talk about for a while and recently I came across this discussion again and I was like: "You know what? Now is the time."
See, when there is a media thing with a ton of characters, especially in TV, the creators will often claim that "all characters are equally important" and also "all characters are fair game for dying and bad things happening to them". But, okay, let's be honest here. This is pretty much always a lie.
While I never liked GoT (or the books) because of all the rape happening, I kinda had to put in that GIF because it was one of those examples. Even as someone not actively engaging with the fandom I stood there as the Red Wedding happened and rolled my eyes so heavily. Because there also was the claim that "all characters are fair game and everyone can die". It was fairly obvious, that this was a lie.
Because GOT had a lot of characters, yes, but it was fairly obvious who were the main characters and who were the side characters. And as such it was fairly likely that the main characters would survive at least till close to the end of the show (and the books). They could claim all they wanted that this was not the case. A lot of people called it out, and guess what? The characters who all those people named as the "main characters" did in fact survive till the last two episodes.
And while I also never at all got sucked into the LOST fandom, I recently had a lot of fun watching the Billiam reviews of the show. And apparently it was happening there, too. Where it became fairly clear fairly soon, who were the actually main characters, and who... well, was more easy to write bout of the show.
The thing that got me there, is with all the stuff happening with RIOT and LoL right now, there is this claim going around with Arcane, too. Especially regarding season 2, that will not be released before later next year. And sure, I get that for RIOT it is a marketing strategy and stuff to hype up the new season. What I do not get is, how people will argue that this is actually totally the case.
Like, look, especially with Arcane gaining importance in terms of the actual canon of the LoL verse, it is fairly safe that all champions are gonna survive in one form or another. Like characters such as Mel and Sevika can die, sure. But Caitlyn, Vi, Jinx, Viktor, Jayce, Heimerdinger? They totally are going to live. And be it just in a way of "Sure, they died. But don't worry, they got better."
And it is okay. It is okay that in a story with a lot of characters are more important than other characters. That in fact is just good storytelling. Because if you really were treating the characters all equal, it would be harder for whoever reads or watches your thing to get invested into the characters and kinda get really into the story. Because the main characters are the gate for the audience to enter the world through.
And sure, everyone who is active in fandom will tell you about this random background character they personally are obsessing over. But in general, yeah. People will focus on the main characters, which is totally fair. Because... Just logistically speaking, if you really were making 10+ characters equally important (or at times even 20+), you would be so held up with giving them all enough background and enough development, that the main plot would get lost.
Believe me, even as someone who somehow ends up writing stories with at times up to 30 characters... Even there I usually have more like 5-7 main characters, whose decisions drive the plot - and whose point of view is going to be the dominant one.
Yeah, alright, I get the frustration when your favorite character ends up being one of the side characters, who just do not get written out that much - or get killed just to hammer home how dangerous an antagonist is. But... It's just how it is. And, I mean... canon is just a suggestion ;)
So, yeah. My point is: Yeah, no, Caitlyn isn't going to die. Nor is Jinx. Or any other champion from the game. Not for real. There might be a fake out death, but... they will survive.

I think I finally have the energy for more rewatch
We're on the home stretch now folks
*cries*
s5 ep9 An Ill Wind
Me when I started doing this nearly two months ago: oh my god I can't do this for every episode it'll take me MONTHS to watch them all I want is to refresh my memory of the show enough to write my damn fic
Me now, having done this for Yes, Every Fucking Episode: I'm not ready for the show to be over ;_; Also I am devastatingly obsessed with Catra and learned I have a specific kink I didn't know the name of before and I keep practicing eyeliner like every night so I can cosplay Catra :D
ahahahah oh god
also from here on out I am going to not read the synopses
(I didn't do that for most of the episodes anyway tbh)
Glimmer can teleport relatively far distances with multiple people again but Catra is NOT a fan
also they're toUCHING
Adora, looking into the woods: hey come look at this
Catra: *still suppressing puking from some form of motion sickness caused by teleportation*
oh they find the empty torn up camp
Glimmer: maybe they went to Bright Moon or Mystacor?
Catra: dude you know they could all be chipped so maybe we should be careful
Glimmer: oh you don't trust princesses?
Adora: Catra's right
Catra: *grins in satisfaction*
just look at her
the fuckin. lack of subtlety here. as always. *chef's kiss*
("ugh they didn't HAVE to be so obvious don't you think it's Too Much" listen I've literally seen people who've watched Arcane be surprised to find out that people are shipping Vi and Caitlyn. "Really? I didn't think that was romantic." You didn't? Did we watch the same fucking show??? The one where those two have romantic tension so thick you could carve it with a KNIFE? The one where they had an overdramatic breakup scene in the rain even tho they hadn't kissed or anything? The one where they lay on Caitlyn's bed and talked about Vi's past while making significant eye contact and holding hands and Caitlyn pet Vi's face? That scene where they hug on the bridge and Vi does that like, face pet thing before walking off and they're clearly both in AGONY at being separated?! Are you really that fucking oblivious??? Jesus H Christ. Yes She-Ra made it SUPER OBVIOUS because some people are BAD AT PICKING UP THIS SHIT also She-Ra is aimed at kids and they haven't learned subtlety. Arcane was aimed at adults.)
no really I've seen people express surprise that people think they're going to be a couple. when that ^ was after they'd known each other like two hours
(seriously tho, if you can handle violence (there's a LOT ngl, it is not a show for kids) then you should watch Arcane, the people who make it have made it pretty clear that it's gonna be canon, and the next season is out in November; but also leaving shipping aside it's just REALLY, REALLY GOOD)
ANYWAY back to other animated lesbians
lol Glimmer teleports them all again without warning and Catra really does look like she's gonna hurl
And Erelandia ain't looking so good, oops
(but also yes Adora helped Catra up again)
intro is the same as the last episode
AHAHAH a dozen planets are rebelling against Horde Prime he's so pissed. And they apparently all mention She-Ra
yeah I am again surprised at how much of the actual plot I forgot lol (but I remembered that Glimmer liked to sneak into the kitchen to eat cake with her hands. Y'know. Important things.)
given his tiny facial reactions I think that's Hordak-Hordak. Our Hordak. Not the Wrong Hordak. I think.
once again I ask myself: where did y'all get those outfits
Entrapta teaches Wrong Hordak how to wink and it's so cute. I also love that she explains what it means--because I'm sure she had to consciously learn it, too: "It signals unspoken intent behind my words. In this case, our mutual deception of the Horde. Now you try."
awww
but yeah everyone in town is terrified and won't talk to them, and especially doesn't want to talk about any princesses
"should I buy property here?"
"...go team."
C'MON THAT WAS FUNNY, GUYS
Also, note to self, Melog definitely understands human speech--they split up, Catra is told to stick with Entrapta and Melog (and Catra frowns at this, just barely) and Adora tells Melog to keep them safe and it does a little noise of affirmation. (wait is Melog a he or a she or a they?)(fan wiki says it's an it but dang I feel weird using "it")
Okay so the scene where Glimmer, Adora, and Bow hide in a shop and then end up arguing with the shopkeeper is like, fascinating on multiple levels
Because on the one hand: I can't blame the townspeople for just keeping their head down and trying to get out alive. On the other hand, reporting them to the Horde isn't cool; they could just pretend not to be suspicious of these guys; there are in fact lots of places on the spectrum between "actively collaborating with one's oppressors" and "mounting a full-scale armed rebellion."
But on the other other hand I also think it's interesting that Adora's the only one of the three who's like "nah dude just let these people live their lives omg," something about Adora having lived in an oppressive environment for her whole childhood maybe
poor Adora someone get her an ibuprofen
Anyway Spinerella found them ack
Also Melog steals an apple for Catra, just magically takes it from someone's basket and into Catra's hand, which implies they're communicating non-verbally more than just moods, though I suppose "hungry, that apple looks good" is a mood
speaking of things that would make ANYone motion sick--
(Adora is saying it) Catra's right there, dude. You spent the last four seasons fighting her. lol.
Oh I paused it too soon lol Catra says this line:
LOLOL
Back on Horde Prime's ship, Hordak keeps looking at the chip thing Entrapta gave him and gets caught by Prime, whoopsie
oh hey, lore: Horde Prime can't access ALL the memories in his previous bodies without going into them, and he keeps his old bodies around in that green goo, that's fucking weird and gross, anyway he plugs a connection into his old body
Horde Prime: "The First Ones sought a new source of power of ancient worlds. Why? Why bend themselves to the whims of magic and myth?"
Poor Hordak has flashbacks to Entrapta and the Fright Zone. Mostly Entrapta. Including a moment of her looking at him fondly--I think it's the moment when she says "Imperfection is beautiful."
Horde Prime: "The fools took their secrets with them when they died. But I will find another way."
(I've seen a fan discussion suggest that there aren't actually any First Ones left--that when Light Hope made it so Adora came through the portal, the portal itself went back in time. I like that explanation in part because it means in my fic I don't have to figure out why Adora doesn't go looking for her birth family. Which tbh most fic-writers don't worry about anyway lol.)
Back with the rebellion, poor Catra is once again trying not to lose her lunch because they've all teleported.
And Netossa is like WTF IS THAT BITCH DOING HERE
Melog doesn't like that
Adora: "It's a long story, but she's with us now"
Netossa: "...really??"
(Catra in the background: hisses)
BAHAHA and then Netossa spots Wrong Hordak and they have to explain, no that one's with us, too 😬
But yeah p much the entire rebellion has been chipped except like Netossa and Perfuma
Adora and Bow have a guilt trip about having been gone for so long (...to rescue the queen! and also Catra)
and Catra's remembering what it's like to be chipped :(
Glimmer gives them all a ra-ra little speech
Adora just makes the sword appear in her hand without transforming lol that's cool
but they're doing the "I'm in" "yeah me too!" thing and
like, on dates?
(lol)
yayyy
Anyway the team heads back to Erelandia and starts kicking some ass
there's a great moment when Catra's like "you go deal with Spinnerella we'll take care of the bots" and Adora says "be careful" and Catra grins and says "always am!" like ma'am that is a LIE
Spinnerella is torturing some poor villager, and Netossa is worried her wife isn't still "in there"
Adora would know. From literal, personal experience. ;_;
She transforms into She-Ra and Netossa literally does a whistle of appreciation and says, "New look?" and She-Ra grins back. And somehow that is, like. Super queer. Like literally just one lesbian to another, in a flirty-but-not kinda way. Like I have *had* those interactions, where the underlying meaning is "I know we're each in a relationship, so I'm not actually hitting on you; but as one queer woman to another I want you to know that I see what you're putting out there and I like it." It's one of the best things??????
Netossa gives a little speech to Spinnerella about how she loves her and Spinnerella actually comes back for a few seconds ;_; but then she's gone again, but She-Ra and Netossa convince her to disappear for a while at least? And the locals rejoice.
And Catra would know. ;_; (She rubs the back of her neck after saying this.)
Anyway word gets back to Horde Prime that She-Ra is back on Etheria :D and he's so fucking pissed he's going to go there
...and Hordak spends a long moment looking at that chip from Entrapta again
They go to where the rebellion is actually hiding out, Glimmer and Catra recognize it
and I'M BLANKING ON WHY THEY'RE REACTING THIS WAY HELP seriously I have spent like ten minutes trying to figure it out, I don't think they talked about it while on Horde Prime's ship? Fuck!! IF YOU KNOW PLZ TELL ME
Any Perfuma ties them up and makes sure they're not chipped and then it's Happy Reunion Time with everyone :D
Adora to Catra: it's time for you to meet everyone
Catra: are you sure??
I got that one without trying I didn't know it was coming lololol I was trying to get a shot of Catra looking hopeful
poor thing
Adora: long story but she's with us now!!!
Adora (well, as She-Ra) gives them all a little pep talk
ANNND EPISODE OVER
and I don't have time to do another one tonight and I won't have time tomorrow until like after 6:30pm aaaaaaugh
ON THE UPSIDE I only work two days this upcoming week.
Because it's Holy Week. I'm going to be in church like every day starting Wednesday and twice a couple of days ahahaha including an hour in the middle of the night on Thursday.
It is DEEPLY HILARIOUS to me that I'm going to end up watching the last episodes of She-Ra mere days before Easter. Like I literally have four left. Assuming I watch one tomorrow, I could end up watching the next one Tuesday night and watching the last two BEFORE GOING TO CHURCH ON WEDNESDAY how tf am I gonna focus for SHIT lolol

what kind of music do YOU listen to
I’ve kind of realized that i’m mildly picky about what I listen to? Either that or it’s just bc I am extremely dependent on what kind of vibes I’m in the mood for + if whatever song fits said vibe
According to spotify my top genre was broadway, which I don’t completely agree with bc I have a friend who would 100% say ‘no you loser you aren’t that into broadway’ but also she’s just into show tunes way more than anything else. Ig it’s a vibes thing more than an actual ‘this has been shown on broadway’
Though I do love musicals, i’m kind of basic since I’ve only ‘watched’ hamilton (disney+ version when it was turned into a movie). But i’ve listened to some of the more popular songs from Dear Evan Hanson, Heathers, Be More Chill, Legally Blonde, and others that are just popular songs. A few years ago I watched a TON of animatics so I think that’s kind of where it came from.
Another thing that’s not as vibe specific is orchestra/band stuff. I love love LOVE when a live orchestra and/or wind ensemble gets incorporated into music. Cody Fry was my top artist this year, and basically all his songs have an orchestra in it minus his older albums and ITS SO COOL. I play clarinet (and bass clarinet) so that’s where that appreciation comes from. I also just like, wind ensemble music. Gustav Holst (second suite in f major) is a piece I played last year and I absolute fell in love with it. Samuel Hazo is also a super good composer and he has a gigantic roster. I played two pieces of his last year, ‘Arabesque’ and ‘Solas Annes (Yesterday’s Joy)’ Going back to Holst I can 100% appreciate his planets suite.
For that kind of music though, it helps if i’ve played the piece cause then I’m like ‘hehe I know this and THIS SPOT WAS SUPER HARD ARGHHHH’ but music is super fun.
OH ALSO I’m a choir kid (basically just a fine arts kid in general) so i’ve listened to some choral pieces too just cause I like how they were performed and I like how they sound. I’m a band kid first and foremost though.
Also I listen to a lot of game soundtracks, bc instrumentals are just peak, and they vibe pretty easy since I mostly listen to soundtracks that i’ve played before. (Minecraft, Omori, Stardew Valley, Breath of the Wild, Undertale, Deltarune, etc)
OKAY I’VE EXPLAINED MY VIBES I’ll give you some stats tehe
Top Artists:
1. Cody Fry (this man has such an array of songs, he goes from funk to pop to overture-esque songs and he’s just kinda epic)
2. Omori (video game that has my entire heart, the story is so AHXISJJXD and the music is awesome. Nowadays I listen more to the breakcore side of the soundtrack but all of it is peak)
3. Bluey (LMAO I forgot about this one. Like the albums on spotify? Crazy good. Taxi is just super fun bc there’s a lot of saxaphone where there’s a GROWL solo and I love that stuff fr)
4. Coyote Theory (vibes, that’s pretty much the only reason. Yeah ‘This Side of Paradise’ is good but THERES MORE THAN THAT.)
5. Toby Fox (Video gAmes. Fun fact I think it was last year or two years ago that I was in his top 0.01% of listeners xD)
RANDOM FUN FACT: Choir kid = I know my range, and my best range is alto/contralto range and the two artists that actually do the lyrics part of music are in that so it’s also bc they’re super singable for me. (ofc I can go higher than that, but I don’t like the sound of my head voice :’) )
Top Songs.
1. Snakes (Arcane)
2. Flying (Cody Fry)
3. You Only Live Once (Yuri on Ice)
4. Fix You (Cody Fry’s cover of Coldplay)
5. Before I Met You (Cody Fry)
Snakes is just super angry, which is fun for me cause I get to go AHHH with it. Everything else kind of fits what i’ve already said.
#music#music taste#super long lmao#music is one of those things that’s been apart of basically all of my life so yeah#while I obviously have my specific genres#I’m always cool with other music#it’s just kind of hard bc i’m super vibe specific#and I have to be in the right mood#i’m also a completionist lmao#so there’s a lot of artists where I want to finish their discography thingy#Tally Hall is one of those#so is Sleeping At Last#Cavetown as well#There’s just a ton of good music out there#so I feel kind of bad if I don’t listen to all of what an artist has to offer lol

Well, it's nice to get a glimpse at the inner workings, at least.
That is definitely some Fleshmancer shit floating in that stasis tank. Also, the Arcane Golem's hand. Research lab?
Yeah, my fight with the golem was pretty sweet. But you should use better words. I'm not comfortable with the words emerging from your shrouded hood right now.
So are you the Artificer? Because I said it before but this whole place reeks of Artificer tech.
Is that why it looks like petrified Fleshmancer gook? This has a strong Final Dungeon vibe to it.
I have this seashell, but I don't think that counts. We'll circle back to this.
So there is a purpose to the loop, then. We're spiraling. In that case, it's cosmically a good thing that I let Soldier's dumb ass get killed.
If the Messenger system continued unimpeded then this would never happen. It needed disruption.
He's not wrong. Prophet isn't fooling anybody with that shit. Anybody can speak in a loud voice. Watch me.
THE SWIRLING HEAVENS HAVE FORESEEN A TIME WHEN A GREAT RECKONING WILL COMMENCE UPON THY ANUS
See? Prophecy isn't hard. Anyone can do it.
*nods sagely* The true assclown revealed. Good to know you have as little patience for this shit as I do. I think this is the first time I've ever felt an actual kinship with you, Archer.
But what if I don't want to be screamed at by an otaku today?
Ugggggggh fine
Okay, but where's the lie, though?
I mean. The mists of time are alive so if we wanted accuracy, I don't see why we can't bring him here. Is it for ego? Because I'm pretty sure it's for ego. No other reason to be talking to a guy with a hat that reads "Oracle" when Apollo himself is right there.
So I'm looking for musical notes, then. Does this have anything to do with my fancy seashell?
Have we tried other things? Like fire? Or peeing on it? Something? Or did we leap straight to Crystallized Musical Elements?
...
...
...
This one. Open this one. I need to know what's on the other side of this one.
CHOKE ON YOUR BONG YOU CONCEITED NERD I waaaaaaaant it!
Ugh, fine. We'll do this your way.
Ooh, a map. We are officially in Metroidvania territory now. I appreciate you, bruh. Thanks for having my back, despite many of the things I've said to you over the course of this journey.
Alright, i am ready to receive the map! Lay it on me!
...no....
No....
I... I cannot be this stupid... I refuse....
I THOUGHT IT WAS BORING LORE AND JUNK.
I think I was very clear about this at the start of my journey. I read the Moon Goddess's fable religiously and pretty much ignored the rest of my history lessons because who the fuck cares about boring history!?
This is the most humiliating upgrade I've ever received in my long and highly accredited history of postal delivery.

Hi! This is the thief!Vi x princess!Reader anon, loved what you did with my request and I was wondering if you could write another request of mine, haha. I was thinking like in an au where the events of arcane aren’t as dramatic as they are in the show, Caitlyn is allowed to bring a +2 on a family vacation (like Caitlyn’s entire extended family is there too) to like an island/beach house that the Kirammans own and brings Vi. And the first day there, Vi kind of watches the reader- 1/2
━ 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐘 𝐏𝐓 #𝟏
𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜(𝙨) - Vi x Fem!Reader, Caitlyn Kiramman x Sister!Reader
𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 - Cursing, flirting ( vi being vi)
𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 ? - Yeah/Nope
𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙚 - I"M SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG! I'VE BEEN SO STRESSED AND TIRED but here it is! Part two coming hopefully soon!
𝗔𝗨 - (semi) Modern !
The sun beat down on you, laying on the sand with your bright red heart-shaped sunglasses keeping your hair from your face. Looking down with squinted eyes at the sandcastle in front of you.
"We have to put shells around it! It'll make it look pretty!" Your small little cousin yelled, her pink bucket hat blocking the sun from her wide dark blue eyes. Staring up at you with excitement. "Okay Em, how about you collect them and I'll keep building the tower!"
You smiled happily as Emma squealed, saying a quick 'yes' before darting just a ways away to find some shells.
You grabbed a bucket, continuing to stack and shape the sand to make a tower connected to the castle. Smoothing the edges out, you then looked over to the rest of the family, some missing and in the water or off walking along the beach.
Your mother resting out while talking to your father who grilled away. But you were searching for your sister, who was standing just beside a pink-haired woman.
Going back and forth before your sister pointed at you.
"I found some!" You were shaken from your thoughts by a cute voice and a little girl dumping seashells in front of you. Plopping down on the sand and smiling at you with wide eyes.
"Alright, I think I finished up the tower, I even gave it a window." You heard her little gasp then an excited laugh. "It's so good!" "Thank you! Now, where should we put the shells?" Emma thought for a moment, tapping her a finger on her chin while humming.
You decided to take the moment to look back to your sister, noticing that she'd began talking to another family member. But the girl she was with was still sitting there, back leaning against the cooler stuck in the sand.
But now her eyes were on you.
And she wasn't looking away.
Instead of sitting there, you waved, mentally kicking yourself as soon as you did it. You were sure she was Vi, Caitlyn had talked about her before. Your sisters first actual friend that you couldn't help but tease her about.
"Look Y/n/n!" You turned your head just as Vi waved back to you. Looking at the half decorated castle, Emma still having a pile of shells in front of her. "You have to do the same on the other side, okay?" She tilted her head. "Yes ma'am, then are you gonna put them on top?"
Emma nodded, getting to work as you did the same. Still feeling eyes burning into your back, the feeling hotter than the firey sun.
But you continued placing the shells, adamant on ignoring her gaze, but you couldn't tell if the feeling in your stomach was hunger or butterflies.
"Emma! Y/n/n! Get over here it's time to eat!" "I don't wanna eat." "If you don't I'll get you!" Emma screamed before hurrying off the sand racing towards the table. You heard her laughing and yelling as you chased her, picking her up and swinging her around. A few of the family members watching you both with smiles.
You finally settled on holding her, the girl laying head down on you as you finally came to the table. Picking up a carrot stick and taking a bite of it, Emma grabbing one for herself.
"Y/n did you put sunblock on-" "Yes auntie Clara, just a few minutes before we went to play." Emma grabbed a piece of watermelon before handing it to her brother, shaking his head. "No Emma. I don't want the stupid watermelon." "Oh shut it Austin."
"Aw, you both look so alike in your swimsuits." Clara all but screeched, the whole family cringing at it including her husband, looking at Vi apologetically making her laugh.
"She's adopted, we don't look anything alike." Austin huffed, crossing his arms while you flicked his forehead making him whine. "I'm adopted too, that just means we're extra specially chosen. They got stuck with you."
Austin stuck his tongue out at you while you did it back, hearing laughter coming from the family. Your father beginning to hand everyone plates. You setting Emma down at one of the many picnic tables.
"Sit next to me!" "No me!" The two argued, Austin making a face at Emma causing her to pout her lips. "How about I sit in the middle?" You said sarcastically, pushing between the two kids while Caitlyn laughed, sitting across from you. Vi beside her.
"What a compromise." Caitlyn laughed, but you'd fixated on the girl beside her, Vi's eyes meeting yours, yet you couldn't quite look away. The kids and Caitlyn going back and forth on who was your best friend. A shy smile finding its way on your face when you finally tore your eyes from her.
"I think you are all equally my best friends." "That's not fair!" Emma huffed, crossing her arms. "I think it is." You said in a sing-songy voice, leaning down to whisper in her ear. "But you're my bestest friend, don't tell Cait or Austin." She then giggled and covered her mouth. "Okay." She whispered back.
Vi couldn't peel her eyes away though, Caitlyn talking to your dad while you went back and forth between talking to the kids. Taking a bite of the watermelon you'd picked up, wiping the juice from your chin.
"So, Vi, how are you liking the beach?" One of your uncles asked.
"It's beautiful." She responded, meeting your eyes.
You and Caitlyn had soon parted from the beach along with the family. Everyone deciding to find their rooms and take the things dropped in the living space to their areas.
You both entered a room with two beds and a large couch that looked comfy. Throwing your bags down.
"Why didn't you tell me you were bringing your super hot friend." You practically whispered screamed at Caitlyn when you got into your shared room at the fancy beach house your parents had bought just last year.
"I didn't think about it. But thinking about it now..." Caitlyn gave you a look, smiling when you pushed her shoulder. "She's so pretty." You flopped onto the bed, looking at the ceiling with a dramatic sigh and a giggle following.
Caitlyn watched you for a moment, sitting on the other bed.
"And she was looking at me!" You whisper screamed, turning on your side and looking at Caitlyn with excitement. "Did you see her?" "No, but I don't doubt it." Caitlyn gave you a smile as you kicked your feet.
"Is she into girls? Is she single?" Just as you asked there was a knock at the door. You and Caitlyn freezing. "It's unlocked." You said sitting up, adjusting your bikini top as Vi walked in.
"Your mom said the pull out was in here." "Yeah, come sit." Caitlyn called her over to sit beside her, Vi awkwardly shuffling in. You gave her a look, the girl almost reading your mind.
"Vi, this is my sister Y/n, Y/n this is Vi. The friend I told you about." You gave her a smile. "It's nice to meet you finally." You held your hand out, Vi giving you a grin as she took it.
"Nice to meet you sunshine." "You too." You said trying not to falter your words before sliding your hand away from hers. "Your dad wanted you, by the way." "Alright, well I'm glad you two met. C'mon Vi."
"Wait why-" "We'll be back soon enough." You nodded at Caitlyn giving her a look before laying back on the bed. Caitlyn dragging Vi from the room.
"You could've told me your sister was gorgeous." "That would ruin the surprise, besides I didn't think you'd be into her." "Seriously?" Vi ran her hands down her face, "I think I'm in love with your sister." "Violet." "What? She's hot!"
"Thank you!" "Vi are you blushing?"

Jinx
What’s the rules on the woodshed? Can we be in there without a more adult adult?
i have that cow skull, i want to find some use for it as a whole BUT it has a bunch of teeth which are loose like i could get pliers and take them all out
I understand there are reasons I got bullied throughout my entire school career, and this is definitely one of many contributing factors.
Are you volunteering to put me down like a horse with an injured leg
Vi
Ive been informed that if I apply for the “best buddies” club, I receive my own personal sorority girl
And my bed wasn’t like, actively on fire?
You masturbate every day and commit adultry all the time
I thought he was asking out of competitiveness, but he said he was asking because he’d heard about tourists having heat strokes and such while visiting because they aren’t used to the heat. Then he got upset when I said I don’t wear sunscreen
Ekko
I am not hitting anyone with my car… intentionally.
Bitch doesn’t know how to use a phone so suddenly I’ve forgotten too

You have such good energy so much ugh and just kindness radiates from you like orb. You’re my best orb.
Viktor
I totally scorched a little bit of my hair welding today 😞
Resin will outlive me, My immortality pact having fallen through.
I eat symbols for breakfast, and my body has amalgamated them into something much more horrifying.
I want you all to know that I love each and every one of you dearly. But If I don’t stop coughing soon I’m about to start sacrificing you all off one by one as an offering to whatever god controls health
Jayce
A wise philosopher of ages past once spoke, “we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl.”
what role does Skeletor play in the history of our world, then, if He-Man, his greatest enemy, was a collective of unspoken heroes?
According to TikTok because I’m not going to fact check it, blue whales are so loud they can kill us if we’re too close
I blink my eyes real loud and get what I want
