rogue trader spoilers ///

hissing and gnashing, why would they write this.

why would they put this NOW when my girl has just done the aeldari sidequest & experienced honorable dealings with xenos for the first time, leaving her open to consider yrliet's profoundly alien (to her hardline imperial core ass) moral sense. the moment of hesitation from heinrix. the inquisitor she's been flirting with in a slapdash stratagem to distract him from sniffing out the Chaos presence with a clawhold in her brain. (surely, certain death if he knew! a salvation her animal self can't help but revile ^_^) the very same Chaos presence of which yrliet's guided meditation uncovered no trace, granting her the first sense of peace & relief she's experienced in months! indeed, the same inquisitor she caught in an unexpected moment of vulnerability at the black ship and instead of leveraging it, went for the hand touch like a fool idiot!

and like ofc it's only her position as an avatar of empire letting her indulge her fascination with yrliet OR try and toy with the inquisition & obviously compassion is anathema to that so every act takes on double resonance. like the sheer paranoia. the meditation was an //offer of compassion//xenos heresy//, a thread of friendship that can only lead to the weakening of her rule. drawing heinrix closer as //self-protection//self-endangerment//, fellow enforcer of the hegemony she both serves & is well served by, //threat//ally//asset//spy//man with fathoms-deep dark eyes//

so like fine okay what if there were two foils representing inverse moral positions and toward whom your every gesture contained both your best and worst impulses in an elaborate two-face janus mask dance of conflicting motivations!! "are we gonna torture this guy" are we making out right now. pasqal i am so sorry you have to 4th wheel this. we are literally doing

right in front of this poor mangled cult victim's salad

i'm chewing glass

chorus in the background going watch out girl the empire is reproduced through your personal relations!!! which she is so so so conditioned to hear as an injunction instead of a warning :3

'excessive kindness gets good people into trouble' oh BOY i cannot wait for that one to circle back :3 :3 :3

I will always be mad that Leona ended up as a glorified babysitter, she deserved better solely because of her kinda fucked up origin

Some notes below

Regardless of who her father is I imagine that she is TALL, like mid 7 foot range which is a little funny when she stands next to her mother because I headcanon Kiki to be like 5 foot 6 max

Because Kiki and Brendan have no given last name I'm giving Leona the last name Dubois, which I know is french (the horror) but I think the meaning would make sense for her family

She is very well mannered which is funny since I think she was literally raised in a barn and that includes taking care of her hair and her fur, she had to find a lot of old books on Werewolf physiology to help her though plus whatever Kiki could tell her because of where Kiki was raised.

I imagine Leona has a massive sweet tooth and the fact that she can't have chocolate like EVER makes her so sad

Right, then. The sick part of my brain is terrorizing me once more, and taking an idea from it is like taking a bone from an angry rottweiler.

Who wants a fucked up Michael Langdon x Reader oneshot?.. I really do not feel like making a yet another OC, and adding a yet enother epic to my endless list.

UGH forgot what it was about 2007 persuasion that i didn't like so i started a rewatch and oh yeah. it's the fucking. fourth wall breaches. WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT. TO WHAT PURPOSE. you can break the fourth wall but you need to have a reason and i simply do not know what it is!!

So one of my favorite underrated elements of Gap was just how much damn fun the group of friends is. Raucous mean girls who turn their bullying to good when they become the lesbian village it takes to raise a Sam. I never finished Secret Crush On You but the friends groups in that were also the stars of what I saw of the show. So I'm really really really happy Idolfactory is continuing this trend in The Sign! The groupchat cannot shut UP about Yai. Laura called him revolutionary: the first straight man hag. We cannot get enough.

oh my god i'm actually so excited to post PDF for you guys

Spooky Season Mini Masterlist

Now that it's officially October, I thought I'd gather a list of my season-appropriate fics! The following either deal with supernatural elements or Halloween fun!

my only weakness (you know all my secrets): 8k of Michael and Ashton falling in love in a 5+1 format blood on my shirt, heart in my hands: sequel scene where Michael feeds from Ashton (oh, your love is) sunlight: cake spinoff scene

black coffee and sufur: another 5+1, but this time with demon!Calum and hunter!Ashton

The Catch: a fluffy little thing featuring photographer!Luke, witch!Michael, and a magical black cat

Ask box prompts:

Ashton gets a scared from a horror movie and asks Michael to come over

Michael and Luke preparing to pass out candy for Halloween

OT4 visit a haunted house attraction

i am back with more utena thoughts... specifically about the meaning of the orange, yellow, and green roses because they're very unclear in contrast to red, blue, pink, and white. butttttt uhmm so i think orange is supposed to symbolize romantic love, yellow is supposed to be affection, joy, or idolization, and green is about harmony or balance between identity (the self) and others (predominantly friendships and romances)

probably the most damning evidence i have for my interpretation of the color symbolism for orange is it being almost exclusively related to Juri and her deal with not wanting to confront her feelings for Shiori; also, in scenes where romantic love is implied or a strong thematic focal point, the lighting is washed out in orange.

yellow is The Nanami Color, which comes with her whole thing with wanting emotional validation and acceptance from (mainly) her brother as well as her peers. also very notably, in a specific moment in eps 13(? idk it was at the end of the Student Council saga though) Utena is shown experiencing flashbacks of Anthy where the frames are bordered in yellow. like hmmmm.... because in the final duel, as she reaches out to Anthy to pull her out of her coffin, she says “You have no idea how happy I was with you”..... HMMMMMM....

green is the color that occurs least often in the series and probably for good reason, since RGU's whole thing is about how unrealistic constructs of identity and expectations attached to them exist to serve a dysfunctional hegemony that alienates everyone who doesn't neatly fit into boxes and can only cause self-fulfilling prophecies for those that are in power. Saionji's character comes up once again as a parallel and foil to Anthy in this respect: he was presented the notion of a fantastical, "revolutionized" ideal about the world, had it immediately shot down, and henceforth submits himself to a hierarchy in which he'll never be able to realize his full self as an individual whose existence is condemned and rejected by the very system he's committed himself to enabling (if you go the queer reading route! which i am personally a big fan of). in short, something something Saionji forces himself to play a role for Touga because he both admires and detests what he represents and projects his own insecurities onto Anthy which ties into the greater message about how nonconformity is inextricably linked to conformity and can only be understood within the confines of assimilation.

oh my god, please make your ocs using the character.ai. these bitches are so in character. it's mind-blowing

suicide blonde is going back to sleep, literally every time i touch the universe it unravels further and i've lost sense of everything and every character

hi, it's me. the fic writer that uses culturally-specific idioms in a very different cultural time setting and keeps confusing words like reign and rein. this is my story.

computer how do i stop feeling insecure on my writting so that can i write. computer please

I'm so mad my mom gave away my favorite literature textbook that I really wanted to go back and reread again

Which concept sounds more interesting, "Apollo falls in love with a woman and kidnaps her" or "Apollo causes an epidemic so a woman agrees to marry him"?

No, this is not about that Percy kid's universe. Just something random inspired by Greek mythology. But, I don't care who you are, if you see this, just tell me.

And, yes, a lot of people for some reason forget Apollo causes epidemics.
