cassierose for the ship ask game !!

Ship It

What made you ship it? i liked them in tt03, which you know, is truly a feat considering how terribly that comic treats both of them. but their dynamic (angry homoeroticism) managed to be compelling still

What are your favorite things about the ship? i enjoy girl antagonism from time to time. i know were all sick of the trope that teen girls all hate each others guts but considering cassie has a pretty good relationship with all the other girls on her team(s) its fun to see her just go ugh i hate this one. this one can go. theyre just fun and bitchy and i think they should hatefuck about it. but beside that theres also so much potential there ! i think you know, if anyone writing that comic actually cared about cassie or rose or about their character development, it would have been interesting to see their relationship change over time instead of getting one issue where cassie implicitly calls rose family while protecting her, and then the next one she immediately she calls her a manipulative psychopath for no good reason bc they cant figure out how to make the team interesting without having some wildly antagonistic relationship that doesnt make sense if u think about it for a few seconds. theyre never going to be besties but it would have been nice to see them go from blind hate to an uneasy truce; they dont like each other but they do, unfortunately, care about each other, and lets see where we go from that. + itd be interesting to dig into cassies hypocrisy when it comes to hating rose

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? i guess its that i would like them to grow past mindlessly despising each other ? this is not me criticizing anyone but i feel like a lot of takes on cassierose ive seen are that they should stay in the hatefucking no mushy business❌❌❌phase which is definitely fair and true to how they are in tt03. but i do have some issues with the way they were written in tt03 (particularly cassie) and would like to see their dynamic progress from that (see rant above)

#i guess the reason im personally more interested in them sort of working through it is bc cassie doesnt have. a good reason for hating rose #i dont think its ooc but a lot of it Is supposed to be bc shes either jealous of her bc of tim (??)or thinks rose sucks bc she killed peopl #which is. she was drugged and manipulated and i think most teen titans in the superhero business should be able to handle #that sort of a not black and white situation #and idk. be more understanding. i know rose isnt super nice but maybe calling her a manipulative bitch constantly isnt the way to go #theres fun antagonism and theres cassie being just needlessly awful to her (that convo she and tim have about rose)#and i do think theyll always be bitchy to each other but i would like to imagine cassie is more considerate than this #and would eventually recognize she was occasionally just being shitty ! it would make for an interesting story ! alas #i think cassierose going from hating each others guts as teens to adult coworkers who dont really hate each other anymore #bc theyve been through so much shit together #but need to keep up the appearances of hating each other bc god forbid they admit to being kind of friends. that would be fun. to me<3 #ask #thank you. so sorry this got so long #youve given me an excuse to rant about cassierose so this is what u get<3 #sorry that the question was what i like about the ship and i just bitched about how it could be better #i guess the answer is im intrigued by the potential. also i love lesbians

For some reason I've had A Thought about the vampire AU

#i think it would be interesting if junko had kokichi after tsumugi sired her; because it would make him half-vampire #and even more of an 'abomination' to people's eyes. its bad enough hes the result of kiyotaka; the town's priest; falling into temptation #and having sex with a nun; getting her pregnant. but also being half-vampire? when vampires antagonize the town? thats unacceptable #hes 'unholy' since birth. hes something that should never have been born. and yet here he is.#luckily for him no one besides mukuro; makoto and mikan (whos a witch + in love with junko so she would never say anything) know about it #in fact even himself doesnt know about the true nature of his birthing. he know mukuro and makoto adopted him bc that obvious #but other than that he has no idea who his biological parents are; or that hes not strictly human. sometimes he gets a 'weird thirst'#that water cant fix; and he just. deals with it until its gone. makoto tries his best as to not let him near blood during these periods #bc god knows what could happen if he does. maybe nothing; maybe it will unleash the beast. so lets not test it yeah?#kokichi would feel weird anyway as to why blood seems to quench his 'unexplained' thirst. as i said this is an interesting idea #but i think i didnt applied it before bc it would affect how shuichi treats him after he gets kidnapped and everything during it #he couldnt be as harsh with him due to also being a vampire; even if hes also human. and im not sure how susceptible he would be #to vampire magic; which shuichi (and kaito sometimes) constantly uses with him (mostly hypnosis) as to fuck around with him and his mind.#(also amab vampires can get amab humans pregnant but not other vampires and i want them to have a little baby for the drama ah)#thats it thats the post #au talk

one reason (white) queer people misuse the term homonationalism is that they see queerness (or whatever you want to call it) as naturally disaffiliated with the US empire. so they understand homonationalism as a divergence from a natural mutual antagonism between queerness and empire. they talk about homonationalism as if it's an exclusively "normie gay" project, and as if it's a divergence from, rather than a consequence of, the overall trajectory of western lgbtqia+ politics. ironically it’s that self-exceptionalization by the queer, on the basis of their queerness, that imbricates them in homonationalism. they produce themselves as a homonationalist subject, and reproduce homonationalism, every time they articulate their queerness as individualized freedom. and Puar actually anticipates all of this in her original theorization of homonationalism in Terrorist Assemblages, and that's why it really helps to go to the text instead of osmosing queer theory solely through tumblr posts (esp when tumblr is so white and the queer theorists are not): "Some may strenuously object to the suggestion that queer identities, like their 'less radical' counterparts, homosexual, gay, and lesbian identities, are also implicated in ascendant white American nationalist formations, preferring to see queerness as singularly transgressive of identity norms. This focus on transgression, however, is precisely the term by which queerness narrates its own sexual exceptionalism.

While we can point to the obvious problems with the emancipatory, missionary pulses of certain (U.S., western) feminisms and of gay and lesbian liberation, queerness has its own exceptionalist desires: exceptionalism is a founding impulse, indeed the very core of a queerness that claims itself as an anti-, trans-, or unidentity. The paradigm of gay liberation and emancipation has produced all sorts of troubling narratives: about the greater homophobia of immigrant communities and communities of color, about the stricter family values and mores in these communities, about a certain prerequisite migration from home, about coming-out teleologies. We have less understanding of queerness as a biopolitical project, one that both parallels and intersects with that of multiculturalism, the ascendancy of whiteness, and may collude with or collapse into liberationist paradigms. While liberal underpinnings serve to constantly recenter the normative gay or lesbian subject as exclusively liberatory, these same tendencies labor to insistently recenter the normative queer subject as an exclusively transgressive one. Queerness here is the modality through which 'freedom from norms' becomes a regulatory queer ideal that demarcates the ideal queer. ... I am thinking of queerness as exceptional in a way that is wedded to individualism and the rational, liberal humanist subject, what [Sara] Ahmed denotes as 'attachments' and what I would qualify as deep psychic registers of investment that we often cannot account for and are sometimes best seen by others rather than ourselves. 'Freedom from norms' resonates with liberal humanism’s authorization of the fully self-possessed speaking subject, untethered by hegemony or false consciousness, enabled by the life/stylization offerings of capitalism, rationally choosing modern individualism over the ensnaring bonds of family. In this problematic definition of queerness, individual agency is legible only as resistance to norms rather than complicity with them, thus equating resistance and agency.

... Queerness as automatically and inherently transgressive enacts specific forms of disciplining and control, erecting celebratory queer liberal subjects folded into life (queerness as subject) against the sexually pathological and deviant populations targeted for death (queerness as population). Within that orientation of regulatory transgression, queer operates as an alibi for complicity with all sorts of other identity norms, such as nation, race, class, and gender, unwittingly lured onto the ascent toward whiteness. ... To be excused from a critique of one’s own power manipulations is the appeal of white liberalism, the underpinnings of the ascendancy of whiteness, which is not a conservative, racist formation bent on extermination, but rather an insidious liberal one proffering an innocuous inclusion into life."

listen, I- I cant help but think every time i see will and eddie interact in fics, that will would not have liked eddie like

at all

Eddie? is a dick.

and like maybe this is me just being insane, but i think will's love of Dnd comes from an actual love and appreciation for character and story and a love of his friends and his community he found playing dnd. It gave him an outlet, it let him express himself, it let him be brave and when you see him trying so hard to come back to that in season 3, you see he uses it as a way to express what he's going through. But most importantly, Will plays dnd because he loves his friends.

eddie is so rigid with his dnd obsession. He uses it as a way to control things, to (honesty) control people. He uses it to build himself a throne. A LITERAL THRONE SITS AT THE HEAD OF THE HELLFIRE TABLE. The party always played at a square table, they all looked at each other, all equal, all on the same playing field. But eddie, he's different. Even at lunch you see him sit at the head of the table. He gets up and walks across them, he shouts, he draws attention to them, invites the tormenting almost, and i don't think will would have liked the way Eddie was constantly bringing attention to himself and, in turn, hellfire as a whole. Eddie uses dnd to antagonize, to start shit, as a marker of his "fuck it" attitude

Will would not have felt safe in hellfire. Eddie's "forced conformity is killing the kids" monologue is such bullshit. Hellfire would have suffocated will. Not because i think will couldn't stand up for himself or hold his own against Eddie, but Dustin and Mike are so enamored with Eddie, they fall in line and worship the guy, so much so that they are willing to ditch Lucas and his game! Will never would have stood for that. Will would have been at Lucas's game. No DnD party is worth it to him if its not with his party

"But, what if you wanna join another party?"

"Not possible"

Are we all just, collectively forgetting this? Like are we just blacking out here? Now yes, this is very byler, but its not just about Mike. Its about Lucas and Dustin too. Its about El, and now Max. Its about his people.

Eddie actively tore apart the party under the guise of being "dedicated to dnd" but the only thing eddie is dedicated to is himself and serving his best interest. At least he was in hellfire.

and yeah, idk, i feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but these are just my thoughts. feel free to share yours.

An ongoing list of ACOWAR grievances I'm keeping track of while I read (because there's too many to make a post about all of them) pt. 2

I'm on chapter 15 now and feeling the urge to complain again so here we go

1) the writing is way too overdramaticized. Like every other paragraph is some remixed version of feyre going "I wondered whether it would be eggs or bacon for breakfast. But when I looked at Rhys I realized that he was giving me my own choice. My mate, my high lord. In our home. With our family. Every thing was always my choice" and its CONSTANT, LIKE OH MY GOD GIRL SHUT UP

2) every thing about Lucien's plotlineand the elain mating thing. I HATE this subplot with a PASSION

3) feyre immediately fucking rhys when she got back instead of going to see her sisters

4) feyre and rhysand acting like they've ben separated for forty centuries instead of a month

5) the contradictions about how the high lord thing works. Like it was established that its a government position given to you through basically fate and being chosen by the cauldron or whatever which is why siblings kill each other for a chance for the throne and yet they just went to a priestess and swore feyre in as high lady?? It makes her title not feel real like it's purely ceremonial. It doesn't even make sense that she would be able to be HL of the night court as she has no more ties to that court than she does any other court. Is it because she's mated to Rhys? I don't understand the HL lord at all, it just keeps changing

6) the fact that Feyre, Rhys, and Cassian tell Lucien about their tragic backstories and everything that's happened to feyre at the NC and he just immediately does a Feyre™️. Like he's suddenly "Oh yeah you had a horrible childhood and took feyre into your found family without letting her explore relationships outside of the IC, that totally makes up for all the evil shit THAT IVE SEEN YOU DO WITH MY OWN 2 EYES. wow i cant believe youre not evil even though you killed 50 winter court children and sexually assaulted your mate and mind raped her constantly to get her to like you"

7) the way they're treating Nesta. It has been a MONTH since she was stolen from her home, brought amongst a race that she is terrified of and THAT ENSLAVED HER PEOPLE, and was forcefully turned into ONE OF THEM and the IC is acting like she's being unreasonable for not wanting to talk to them or to mate with Cassian. WHY THE HELL WOULD SHE EVEN BE THINKING ABOUT CASSIAN RIGHT NOW?? WHY THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL BAD FOR HIM? Instead of him worrying about how his mate is doing regardless of his own comfort he's like WOE IS ME, SHE DOESNT WANT TO FUCK ME?????? GET OVER IT ASSHOLE?? WHY IS FEYRE EVEN LETTING CASSIAN COME NEAR HER AND ANTAGONIZE HER?? DOESNT SHE LOVE TO FLAUNT HER HL STATUS AROUND?? THIS IS THE TIME TO USE IT, PROTECT YOUR GODDAMN SISTER FROM HIM? ITS SO OBVIOUS THAT SHE DOESNT GIVE NEARLY AS MUCH OF A SHIT ABOUT NESTA AS SHE DOES ELAIN!!

8) the fact that sjm didn't keep cassian's wings shredded. Him learning to live with that would have been a badass character development but now sjm doesn't want me to have good things

9) the mating bond in general. I think it could be a potentially good plot device but no one ever employs it well and sjm is definitely the most egregious with it

10) the fact that the ic never gave consequences for their fucking actions. Feyre dies in acotar? Turn her into a fey and give her ALL of their powers. Stealing a precious artifact that they didn't even end up needing and getting a bounty on their head in the summer court and then getting that court invaded? That's fine because feyre is SOOO brave and says things that are common fucking sense which makes her SOOOO smart so we obviously need her as an ally so we'll just rescind the blood rubies. Getting the spring court sacked? That's fine we didn't like them anyway. Rhys and feyre's bond gets snapped? Well they didn't know about our super secret mating bond that is actually the only thing that gives our characters chemistry so we still like each other. Rhys causes irreparable damage to every court for 50 years and kills 50 kids? Well that's fine he was being held hostage and hey! We don't know he actually killed those kids 😡 Feyre, a 20 year old girl who's been fae for like 6 months and training for even less goes up against thousands of years old beings? She beats them effortlesslessly! Rhys gets sexually assaulted for 50 years! Well he planned all of it so it has no negative consequences on him. Cassian gets his wings shredded? Well he worked really hard and they're fixed now 🥰. Rhys FUCKING DIES?? Well that's no problem, tamlin can just resurrect him, nvm the fact that there's no reason why he WOULD. like no harrowing situation is ever interesting cause we all know sjm isn't actually going to do anything to the ic

11) "my mate" STOP SAYING IT PLS IM BEGGING

12) "males and females" STOP SAYING IT PLS IM BEGGING pt. 2

#anti acowar #anti sjm #anti acotar #anti rhysand #anti feysand #anti sarah j maas #anti ic #anti acomaf #anti inner circle

there's something hilarious about people constantly tryna antagonize rw shippers but rw shippers themselves didn't do anything remotely bad against non-shippers and just.... exist, and do their own thing.

"other fandoms have toxic spaces due to shipping" my brother in christ we are not those fandoms (and trust me this is absolutely nothing compared to-what- undertale's fandom, as other people are tryna tell us for some reason (yes i cannot believe that people compared the rain world fandom to the undertale fandom))

"you're ruining the space by overwhelming it with ship content" you can block the tags brother. we don't tag ships for no reason (also its a fandom wtf did you expect)

"x is not this!/you're boiling x down to shipping!/they would not do this" you right, but like- you can use these arguments against other fanons, headcanons, aus and so and such. shipping isn't new. it ain't rocket science. we aren't presenting it as fact and if you think we are then idk what to tell you man.

i'm honestly tired of people pushing a false narrative that rw shippers are ruining the fandom when we have done nothing but made our harmless personal visions of fictional characters kiss and hold hands and be happy together and then share those visions to others online because it makes us happy. idk, let people enjoy things????

#also one shipper doing bad shit to others does not equate the entire community- i disgrace artihunter shippers who harass others or force it #idk i was just thinking of sharing these personal thoughts since ship hate is slowly becoming prominent again #thoughts #rw shipping #shipping #im not trying to start drama btw. drama is the least of what everyone wants to happen and this is fact

The main reason I want Cal and Merrin to have a bio child is to add fuel to my theoretical Kata and Ezra's rivalry. And both ship crews' dynamic in general.

Imagine the Ghost crew and the Mantis crew meet each other in the future: the two Padawans, first start making snide remarks to the other and then show off their force abilities. Sabine, being the Gadfly of the situation, constantly comes up with new challenges to fuel their antagonism.

Meanwhile, Jacen and the Merrical child REALLY don't like each other and they are viciously fighting because "my parent/big sibling is better than yours!" and they need to be separated by Zeb and Greez. Yes, a 6′8″ feet tall Lasat and a four-armed Latero are struggling to hold back two little kids when they are about to get physical while criticizing the other for failing to keep their kid in check.

In the meantime Chopper and BD-1 have basically developed a relationship akin to Tom & Jerry. As meaning that they are always on the verge of killing each other in a battle of violent slapstick and 50s cartoon hijikins.

Hera and Merrin are watching all the chaos unfold in the background. Hera is drinking caf, she's too tired to intervene because being a General of the New Republic takes its toll and at the end of the working day she does not have the energy to stop the madness. However, a silent and seemingly stoic Merrin is greatly enjoying the ongoing havoc.

And in all this chaos, where are their husbands? Cal and Kanan (yes, Kanan is alive, what is this 'Jedi Night' you speak of?) are passed out piss drunk in the floor after a night of catching up with their old friend and remembering the good ol' days at the Jedi Temple.

,,Hellbound’’

-C.S

Part One.

Synopsis: Christopher fucking Sturniolo. A name Camila couldn’t stand. No, not for any normal reason. She didn’t hate him because he had everything she didn’t. She didn’t hate him because he’s too damn confident. No, she hated him because of how much she wanted him.

Pairing: Chris Sturniolo (he/him) x Camila Solan (she/her)

Warnings: Cussing, Suggestive content, drugs, and alcohol.

Back to: {masterlist} {pt1} {pt2} {pt3} {pt4} {pt 5}

Did Chris have to be like.. this? He shouldn’t be. He shouldn’t be allowed to do this to her. Camila had such a strong hatred for Chris, but she loved him. She loved him so much, but she couldn’t have him.

Camila has been best friends with Nick since freshman year of highschool. He never had her meet his brothers, worried that one of them would get with her and it would ruin their friendship. Nick quickly realized how stupid that was, and just decided to let them meet.

They met at a party. Maybe, just maybe, if thats when they hadn’t met, Camila wouldn’t despise the boy as much as she does. Maybe he wouldn’t bother constantly picking fights with her now.

She had met Matt first, and he was a very sweet boy. She liked Matt. Not as much as she hated Chris, though. She met the boy as he was smoking a joint with his best friend Nate. He was drunk and high, so maybe thats not how he normally acted.

‘‘Hey. Your cute- Nick-‘ he hiccuped before continuing. ‘Nick’s friend, r-right?’’

He didn’t even do anything wrong. He didn’t say anything wrong. He looked at her. He didn’t give her a ‘normal’ look. No. He looked at her like no one else had before. Like he was a starved lion, and she was his prey.

By the look he gave her, she could tell, he wanted her- but he wasn’t going to give himself away that easy, and neither was she.

All the two do now is argue and flirt with each other. It’s an odd mixture of the two, but they can’t hold a conversation without either yelling or getting too close to making out, so Matt and Nick have just accepted it.

They know one day Camila and Chris will get together, but the two are convinced their love is hell-bound, and will never happen.

Here they were, sitting in their hot tub together. They share a house, Matt, her, Nick, and of course, Chris. They’ve all been best friends for such a long time-besides Camila and Chris- so what was stopping them from moving in together?

Camila sighed, feeling the hot water on her skin. She was very impatiently waiting for Nick and Matt to hurry the fuck up, because she was tired of sitting out here alone, with him.

“How god damn long does it take for someone to just put on a fucking swimsuit.?” She rolled her eyes, and Chris chuckled.

“Your so damn impatient. Who knows what happened, its Nick and Matt. They’re literally the slowest people I know.” Chris snapped back, and Camila didn’t know weather to just ignore him or antagonize more.

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever, Chris. I don’t even wanna hear it.” She rolled her eyes, and he glared at her.

“Then why’d you start? Hm?” He tilted his head. “You seem to listen to everything I say, though. Don’t you?” He slowly moved closer, and Camila furrowed her eyebrows.

“What the fuck, Chris? Stop looking at me like you wanna fuck me, and stop talking to me like you are fucking me.” She pushed him back by his chest, and he laughed.

“Oh, please. You and I both know that I could have you on your knees in a second.” He taunted.

“I knew you had a big ego, but not that big,” Cami retorted.

“Don’t worry, darling. My cock is much bigger than my ego.” Chris smirked. Cami was at a loss of words. Sure, she could say,

‘That’s pretty hard to believe, Sturniolo.’

or,

‘All of the sudden, you have such a small ego.’

or even,

‘Yeah? Wanna prove it?’

But no.

For some reason, he had a choke hold on her. She couldn’t say anything. She looked into his eyes, trying her best to not let her jaw fall slack.

“Cat got your tongue?” Chris teased, and his attention quickly got taken from her, and put to his brothers as the two emerged from the house.

She let her eyes trail down his body, since he wasn’t so focused on her now. He was sitting on the built in seats in the hot tub, his head facing his brothers as they made their way to the tub.

She admired his soft brown hair, his pointy nose, his sharp jawline. As her eyes trailed down, she soaked in more and more about him. His adams apple, his collarbones, his biceps. The way his stomach was perfectly toned, yet the boy did nothing to keep himself in shape. He sat around all day eating canes and drinking pepsi.

“Hey, Cami?” Nick called out, waving his hand in front of his friend.

“oh- sorry. what?” she asked; looking at the boy that was right next to him now. When did he just show up there? She glanced back over by Chris, who was now accompanied by Matt.

Matt was talking to Chris, but the younger didn’t seem to be paying much attention. Instead, his eyes were locked with Cami’s. She felt her cheeks heat up, and she quickly turned to Nick, to engage in a conversation, hoping that she could ignore Chris staring at her.

“Sorry, Sorry- one more time?” Cami says, completely cutting Nick off mid-sentence. She had no clue what the boy was saying whatsoever. She was way too focused on his brother. His stupid fucking brother.

“Cami. I’m going to loose my fucking mind.” Nick sighs, rubbing his face with his hands. “Stop eye-fucking Chris, and listen to me. Okay?” Nick said nonchalantly. Cami’s jaw dropped as she gasped.

“What!” She yelled defensively. “We are not eye fucking, Nick!” Cami furrows her eyebrows, and Nick glares at her.

“Okay. Whatever floats your boat. May I continue?” Nick asks, and Cami looks over at Chris and Matt, who were both trying to

“Chris! Tell him we weren’t!” She demands the boy.

“Well, I dunno about you, but…” Chris trails off, And Matt lost it. The poor boy was gasping for air, and Chris quickly joined him in the laughter.

“What the fuck, Chris?” Cami didn’t know what to feel, but she sure as hell didn’t wanna sit here awkwardly as Chris was ‘eye fucking’ her, so she stood up, and got out of the hot tub.

Without a word, she grabbed her towel and made her way into the house, heading for her room. She just wanted to shower and sleep. Not to deal with all that.. chaos.

She walked inside quickly. She wasn’t mad at Chris, she was upset with him, more or less. She hates how he thinks he can just make jokes like that in front of his brothers- and her best friends.

It disgusted her, but she couldn’t blame him. She can’t hate him.

She was grabbing a water out of the fridge, when she heard the door open and close.

“Hey, Cams,” Matt spoke softly. She knew it was him, he was the only one who called her that. ‘Cams’. She loved it.

“Hey, Matt.” Cami turned around to face the boy.

“Chris ‘s sorry. You know he didn’t mean it,” Matt smiled, placing a hand on her shoulder. He understands that she likes him, and he understands why it hurts her when he makes jokes like that, but he also knows how head over heels Chris is for Cami. No matter how much he tries, they both refuse to ask one another out. In their words, they’re

‘Not meant to be.’

hi! if it interests you, I think it'd be funny to see Tav feeling like they're babysitting a bunch of squabbling (overly attractive) children 🤔 🤣 especially towards the beginning when NOBODY got along

much love! your fics are amazing and just hit all the spots! 💖

this was such a silly idea i loved it so much. it took me a while to get a clear idea of how i wanted to write it, but i finally took some time today to get it done ! it's a little short, but it's a fun little scenario of just reader and companions. i hope you enjoy and thank you for the idea!

Getting Along | Reader and Companions (Gale, Astarion, Wyll, Shadowheart, Lae'zel)

Trying to travel with your newfound companions is getting increasingly difficult. None of them seem to get along (except Wyll, of course), and are more than eager to start arguments rather than solving more pressing issues. Even your patience has it's limits.

Pairing: no romantic pairing

Word Count: 770

To say that your life had changed since the nautiloid would be a massive understatement. Your life was upheaved, completely changed, and you were thrown into an entire adventure completely against your will. At least, you thought to yourself, you had company.

Though, that ‘company’ was quickly beginning to become more of a problem to solve in its own way.

One would think that the tadpoles in your minds would bring all of you together. One would think that it would give at least some reason to ensure that everyone was tolerable of each other. This was clearly not the case.

You’ve lost track of how many times you’ve had to tell Astarion to stop bothering Gale while all of you walk through the forest path. Astarion starts it every time, but Gale is stubborn and is easily lured into a new argument only minutes after the last had ended.

“Gale, just stop answering him,” you say, exasperated after the fifth spat between the two of them in the span of twenty minutes.

“He knows he’s wrong though! He just won’t admit it!”

Astarion is only barely concealing his laughter behind you.

“Yes. Because he knows it upsets you. Just ignore him.” You bring a hand up to your face, pinching the bridge of your nose as you feel the stress of the day already getting to you. It’s barely noon.

Gale gives an annoyed groan, but mercifully listens to you. You can see the effort it takes, however, when Astarion continues to try and goad Gale into another rant.

---

In the afternoon, Gale has managed to ignore Astarion for a good majority of the time. Instead, it is now Lae’zel and Shadowheart who have been at each other’s throats (thankfully, only figuratively so far) almost constantly. Astarion, now bored with Gale’s determined disinterest, is happy to antagonize both of them, encouraging the divide between the two.

“I just think maybe Shadowheart deserves to keep the relic, since she was able to take it so easily.” Astarion knows it’s more complicated than that. He also knows that saying this will infuriate Lae’zel.

“Finally, you speak some sense,” Shadowheart says, not even sparing either Astarion or Lae’zel a glance.

“Do not start,” you warn.

Wyll, the only other one who seems to see reason in working together, steps between Lae’zel and Shadowheart. He only looks a little nervous as he does, knowing full well that the githyanki could easily push him to the side.

“The half-elf can fight her own battles as she seeks them. I do not suggest getting in my way, unless you wish me to go through you.” Lae’zel’s hand is holding the hilt of her sword so tightly that you are impressed she hasn’t snapped it entirely. Wyll keeps his gaze on the path ahead, giving no indication that he’s heard her at all except for a momentary, nervous glance at you.

“Enough! There will be no more fighting! You will all behave until we get through the day. And then you will continue to behave when we are back at camp. Am I understood?” You feel like an exhausted parent, scolding children. The only thing missing is a corner for timeouts.

“I was behaving. Quite well, in fact,” Shadowheart says, with the nerve to cross her arms petulantly. Lae’zel only grumbles, but her hand leaves her sword.

“Everyone is going to be quiet now. Not a word, unless necessary, until we camp for the night.” You remember hearing a parent encourage their children to play something called ‘the silent game’ once, and it feels very similar to what you’re requesting of your companions now.

They listen. For the rest of the night, there is blessed silence. Even through dinner that night, no one says a word.

Before everyone retires for the night, you speak up to all of them.

“Tomorrow, everyone is going to get along. We are in this together. We need to work together. Astarion, stop trying to start fights. Gale, stop answering Astarion. Lae’zel and Shadowheart, leave each other alone. Wyll… keep it up, you’ve been great. Now everyone, get a good rest and when we travel tomorrow, you will all be in a good mood. Okay?”

There are a few indignant huffs, but everyone mumbles their reluctant agreement.

The night is peaceful, and that peace continues on to the next day. Maybe because you finally managed to get through to them, or maybe because they didn’t want to have to endure yet another lecture. Whatever the reason, you’re happy to have at least one day where you don’t feel like a babysitter.

how do you feel about madara kissing keito and vice versa (in a ship way)... they could be so cute i think, or even madakurokei :0

oh my god ok so thats actually fucking hysterical cuz madara is like public enemy #1 to keito . he is SO intimidated by him, he refers to madara as a natural disaster (i know hes said that at least once but for some reason i think it might be more?) hes also been paranoid about madara stealing kuro from him ever since kuro and madara became friends, he acts like those straight girls that automatically assume every other girl wants to steal their boyfriend, its like actually ridiculous . i already love madakurokei cuz "guy dating two people who do not get along even a little bit" is one of my favorite ship dynamics , but i never really considered keito and madara being romantically involved. if they did it would be the most fucked up hatelationship on the planet , like you could cut the tension with a knife and get a headache just by walking into a room theyre both in . nat20 psychic damage. i think it would 100% be fueled by keito thinking madara is equally hatable as he is fuckable , and madara picking up on that and antagonizing him for it subtly but relentlessly .

yknow how ibara and yuzuru do their whole little "hurling insults at each other but its just their fucked up way of saying they still think about each other" thing? ok well keito and madara would be sorta like that but theres no sincerity or vulnerability to it its straight up just pure hatelust.

so basically if they kissed it would be a kneejerk heat of the moment thing while keito is yelling at madara, who is teasing him. and then madara would try and pretend it never happened and dance around the subject if its brought up. and keito would be completely out of it for the rest of the day and wouldnt be able to stop thinking about it for like a week. and they never speak of it again but the way they look at each other clearly says they both still think about it constantly so the tension never resolves .

god i feel so bad for kuro.

#thank you for this ask i was laughing my ass off thinking about this #fuck im gonna be thinking about this for the next few weeks huh #ask #anon #whiteboard

I desperately need to know more about the Tooth AU

i think i have to come out and be honest here and admit that the tooth part is just an subplot in between and mainly its an whole au about sokka still following his father to war. (katara and gran gran none the wiser) and sokka is discovered hiding on the ship, when the Southern Water Tribe Fleet is restocking on kyoshi. and well... technically its not to late to turn back and drop sokka off back home and ground him for the next 10 years. but nope. now sokka with sweet fresh 12 years is on a warship. getting the oportunity to be with his tribe and grow to be a full warrior for the next three years. (don't worry sokka meets suki and she does more then just punch the sexism out of him.) (hakoda adopts his own son au? )

traveling the seas and staying in ports leads to cross path with the fire nation prince jerk that searches for the avatar. they obviously don't get along. even in neutral/mixed ports or grounds the boys can't help but constantly jab and antagonize each other till one day it comes to a brawl where sokka punches zuko in the face and a tooth gets lost. (zuko still wins though. sorry sokka you get later your chance)

and uh well... zukos tooth is found by bato and well they kind of keep it? as trophy? who can say they knocked the prince of the fire nation tooth out and has the proof!!! (that nobody believes, because it could be anyones tooth and the crew is not backing sokka up. TRAITORS ALL OF THEM!) (meanwhile zuko gets his golden one. and his crew wont stop with the pirate jokes. TRAITORS ALL OF THEM)

when i was talking with a friend about it i was always like "the only ship here involved are for transportation" but a few silly headcanons of drunk characters later leads to this sub plot of bato and jee kind of hitting it off behind the boys and their superiors back. sharing their love the wide blue sea and freeing feeling of sailing through her waves. sharing drinks ranting over their brats. jee losing it when he hears that sokka has the princes tooth now as necklace to not lose it. bato having fun pushing jee's buttons to get any reaction out of him (subtly wondering if this counts as bending). they both know they don't have much time to tiptoe around it, when they meet they have to go for it, who knows in what kind of circumstances they could meet the next time. they drink and make a toast to making the best of their time, share a bitter sweet good bye the next morning, hoping the memories last till their next encounter that could also be their last.

#chip!ask #chip!talk #toothAU #i... well its on a peace of paper mainly hahah #i have some scenes and such written but eh -srugs-#maybe if i can focus i can draw some things!#sorry that there is no romance between bato and hakoda #but.... -gestures at jee- and. -gestures at bato #i didn'T see it coming either #it was this perfect “what if as a joke” situation #and here i am...#also yeha blue spirit encounters also happen #maybe there is some crush and awe for the BS but nope sokka absolutley hates zuko #out of jelousy #and more #you get to punch him a few times sokka don'T worry i feel you

(SAMS related)

Hey so maybe this is a stupid question, but I'm curious to hear your opinion....

What do you think they're doing with BloodMoon? On the one hand they're acknowledging how BloodMoons known nothing but hate and being used, which makes me sympathetic and seems to indicate a direction of change/redemption. But on the other hand, its FUCKING BLOODMOON. Hes garnered hate because hes an insane psychopath that has admitted that they enjoy the killing and dont see it as a curse. That's not someone you leave loose or free. It seems that solution is to kill them again, but that also seems like a waste cuz they JUST came back and now have a custom VR model.

I dunno, I'm sorry for rambling, I just want to hear what others think. Cuz to me they're giving us plenty of reasons and tidbits to want a BloodMoon redemption of some sort, but BloodMoon has seemed to make it very clear that they dont want to stop being the bloodthirsty killing machine and have "killed" and/or burned bridges with the individuals who would have TRIED to accept them. So I'm confused on how to feel and what to think....

I don't know honestly.

On one hand, they point out constantly BloodMoon's abandonment issues and him being constantly used as a tool.

While I am disappointed with how KC's death was handled, I do agree that he needed to be fridged by Bloodmoon in this case. (I just wish the circumstances aligned so KC didn't antagonize him for no reason and didn't throw his life away for no reason. And due to his inaction caused many more homeless people to possibly die, and now it seems like he was just feeding the homeless for clout on tinder and not genuinely care about these people.... I honestly find the stupid easy jabs at the homeless in the sams series kinda gross and while it has been toned down I still wish it would stop all together...)

And what I really think will happen, Bloodmoon wants to be fixed... but since his introduction... Bloodmoon (well, the old Bloodmoon, not the Bloodmoon based on Ruin's SAMS wiki lore... cause remember. This is Bloodmoon 2.0 with not all his memories in tact.)

He did seem to lament that he had these bloody cravings.

youtube

Yeah. I haven't forgotten this episode. Released on the Day of the actual Blood Moon.

(I kinda miss when they used to talk with their hands to convey which twin was which)

It was the first time we as a fanbase realized that his urge to kill is more of an addiction and he has said as much a few times.

And retrospectively, looking back on this episode, (cus at this point I didn't care about bloodmoon back then. It always takes me a bit to warm up to a new SAMS character) Bloodmoon is exceedingly lonely.

He has himself. But that's all. no one will ever really get him or understand him. And I think there's a great lament with that. Being unable to be understood from anyone outside of your twin or 'other'. Yeah, you have eachother, but no one else.

I'm wondering if Bloodmoon 2.0 has this episode in his memories. As he seems to be determined to rip and tear and kill.

My working theory right now is that Nice Eclipse WILL fix Bloodmoon as he wants..... but he'll also fix his cravings.

The best case scenario is that Bloodmoon will only crave shades of red.... and rare steaks....

or... this might cause complications in the duality of their nature, and maybe one of the twins might get broken, with the other needing to be alone for the first time since they woke up.

I don't know. I really think Nice Eclipse will pull through... and give Bloodmoon everything he wants, and more. Because I don't think Eclipse will readily fix Bloodmoon in his entirety and just let a homicidal maniac run loose and terrorizing everyone.

Bloodmoon was the only person Sun felt guilty about, and even Old Moon felt as if Bloodmoon, given enough time and the right circumstances could change.

We also know that Ruin Eclipse is possessed by the Ruin Virus. So he isn't in his right mind, and can easily be redeemed as well. He just needs that virus out of him.

I'm already seeing a lot of parallels with the Eclipse and Lunar takeover. And How Lunar was developing more as a person and strongly learning Eclipse was bad for him and the side of good.

Meanwhile, Bloodmoon is slowly figuring out that he's been used his whole life and he no longer wants to be a weapon for others. The only way he can prevent himself from being a tool in this way, is to not play the game.

Which I think Nice Eclipse is the key.

Bot Buddy is Cheetor’s twin

SFW, Familial, platonic, Cybertronian/Bot reader

BW

Buddy has a stricter personality.

Beast mode is an otter.

Buddy constantly is looking out for Cheetor. Cheetor is infamously known for getting into trouble due to how rash he enters battles, even if he means well. It is a common occurrence to see them both on patrol, as one is never too far from the other.

“Hey, hey where are you going?”--Buddy

“I’m going out to stretch my legs.”--Cheetor

“Okay, give me a minute to get my gun ready.”--Buddy

“No, I mean, I’m going out. Like by myself. Solo bot outside.” --Cheetor

“Cheetor so far, I’m the only thing that gets you back to the base in one piece. Do I need to remind you of the Canyon incident?” -- Buddy

“… So how much longer is it going to take to get the blaster ready?”--Buddy

Cheetor antagonizes Buddy a lot. Cheetor’s impulsive and rash decisions are the bane of Buddy’s existence. The crew honestly does not have the slightest idea on how they are even related.

“So, what if I scared Rhinox right now?”--Cheetor

“How about you don’t? He has a blowtorch in his servos.”--Buddy

Optimus and Rhinox find the differences between them amusing. They are secretly grateful that someone is looking out for Cheetor. They can’t look after him whenever he does his little stunts every time.

“Cheetor what you did was irresponsible- “--Primal

“Hold on Optimus, let me have him for a nanoclick.”--Buddy

“Thanks Buddy I knew I could count on you to save me from the lecture!”--Cheetor

“Who said anything about saving you from a lecture? What in the Allspark did you do out there?!”--Buddy

Rattrap and Dinobot constantly bet which twin will win whenever a fight breaks out. They are often at a tie in the bet’s by the end of the day.

“20 units that Buddy notices Cheetor missing in the next 5 minutes.”--Rattrap

“Absurd assumption… 30 units for the next minute.”--Dinobot

Tigatron and Airazor find the sibling relationship funny and somewhat understand the dynamic and how they work.

“Its quiet today?”--Tigatron

“Maybe everyone is finally taking a break on this calm day.” --Airazor

CRASH

“Buddy, I swear I did not mean it!”--Cheetor

“Cheetor you better use your legs and run!”--Buddy

“There’s the noise.”--Tigatron

Later when Silverbolt joins he finds the dynamic between the siblings confusing. He is just glad they can work out differences and things end up okay in the end.

“Must you both keep bickering about small things?”--Silverbolt

“I don’t know Silverbolt, can you stop talking about Blackarachnia for the next 5 minutes?”--Buddy

“… understandable, carry on then.”--Silverbolt

Cheetor does bring out the fun side of Buddy. Though it doesn’t show out that often. Sometimes the twins will be at their throats one minute, then, the next fighting enemies together like a well-oiled machine.

“Bet I can shoot Waspinator from here.”--Cheetor

“That’s dumb… I can do it with my optics shut.”--Buddy

They do have their fair share of sibling fights. Most common fight topics are usually about Cheetor’s safety and Buddy trying to have fun and not being serious all the time.

The fights usually are categorized in 3 different stages:

1. A petty little spat

“That’s not how it’s done.”--Buddy

“Says who?”--Cheetor

“Says common sense!”--Buddy

That is over in an hour or completely forgotten in the hour.

2. The Arguments

“You need to loosen up. Your always so serious and grumpy.” --Cheetor

“First off, I can loosen up, I choose when I want to. Also I’m not also ways serious and grumpy all the time.”--Buddy

“Are too!”--Cheetor

“Am not!”--Buddy

That has them trying to avoid the other but reconcile at the end of the day.

3. The rarest, full-on yelling and screaming that ends with the two of them avoiding each other for days at a time.

"..."--Cheetor

"..."--Buddy

Rattrap will never admit it, but he genuinely got scared the first time one of those happened while he was around. Most of the crew never knew that it could get so loud and quiet so quickly outside of fighting Predacons. No one likes it when this happens.

But Buddy usually gets to talking with Cheetor first and tries to solve the problem with him. Cheetor does, most times take up for what he had done wrong and reconcile with his twin.

“Guess what I’m trying to say is… I’m sorry.”--Cheetor

“…I’m sorry too.”--Buddy

Strange enough, to the team, if they ever got forcefully separated, example: kidnapped or on a longer than normal patrol, the other will act rasher and impulsive.

If Buddy is gone, Cheetor becomes even more restless than usual and wants to go out and find them.

“We need to go in now! Buddy could be really hurt right now and we are just stuck here!”--Cheetor

“Cheetor calm down.”--Primal

“No! Not until Buddy is safe!”--Cheetor

If Cheetor is gone, Buddy paces a lot and tries tracking Cheetor down with the trackers or will want to go out and rely on good old fashion scent finding.

“I’m going out, I can track Cheetor down with his scent.”--Buddy

“Buddy we need to-“--Rhinox

“We need to move and get Cheetor out of there!”--Buddy

The first time the team witnessed Buddy’s impulsivity they were a bit surprised was an understatement. Dinobot was sure that Buddy had been replaced with a clone for a second.

Primus help the Predacon that hurts the one of the twins and the other is around. Terrorsaur still shivers a bit whenever Buddy flashes their tiny teeth at him, and it’s not the pleasant shiver.

(in response to a response to this post in which I joked about political parties constantly splitting; hopefully this offers some insight rather than inciting)

I am not familiar with the Party for Socialism and Liberation beyond what I read on their Wikipedia page, so I'm happy to hear they engage in worthy causes, but that alone is insufficient to exclude them from what I maintain is a much deserved roasting, along with their fellow travellers in Australia with whom I have more direct experience.

over here, the local communists can be found in front of the state library every Sunday afternoon, offering hot food, warm clothes, and revolutionary inspiration to the homeless population of Melbourne (or anyone else who happens to be passing by and wants to have an argument with them, because as with me that's how they like to make friends with people I think).

and this is a truly wonderful thing that they choose to do! feeding the hungry, clothing the cold, engaging in heated debate with the otherwise ignored, it's beautiful and it makes this corner of the world a little brighter than it would otherwise be.

I don't volunteer any of my time to that particular effort; I could say that I don't have the time to spare or that my skills don't run in that direction but really it's just that everything you do is contingent on who you know and how you know them, we are all firmly embedded in the web of social connections that define our lives and my path took me in other directions; had a few things twisted differently in university then who knows.

I do donate a little money towards housing the homeless as I believe it's a crime that this city compels anyone to sleep rough outdoors; this is a deliberate policy choice that we did not need to make and do not need to continue, it is a problem that we created and could solve at any time, and since I'm quite vocal about this I'm obliged to put up or shut up etc. and hopefully my contribution will offer some shelter to those who would otherwise be denied it.

but while some volunteering here and some donations there is certainly better than nothing, it's not enough, it's nowhere near enough! the gap between what is done and what needs to be done is staggering! it galls me, and I joke about it because things can be very funny even when they make me mad, the serious is often funny and the funny is always very serious.

when right-wing political parties fracture and begin to eat each other alive it's funny because the people involved are usually assholes, their vain attempts to spin the narrative in their favour are hilarious, and pratfalls and petty drama are just a reliable source of humour, and all of these reasons apply just as well to the scenario of left-wing political parties gratuitously shooting themselves in the dick.

however a right-wing party getting fractious is entirely on brand: at least ideologically they're supposed to believe in the virtues of individual self interest and robust competition and a war of all against all and to the winner go the spoils, so why not stab each other in the back for personal glory at the cost of the greater good?

but a left-wing party is notionally founded on the dream of overcoming what ails humanity by way of collective action, the principle that cooperation can achieve what competition cannot, that class interests supersede all other antagonisms, and in that case what the fuck does it mean when that party cannot even cooperate with itself? what is left for us to offer but derision for such monumental failure, not even to fail in a valiant but doomed fight against a powerful adversary but to be torn apart by internal contradictions (!) and the inability to unite as one despite the professed importance of the mission?

Australia never banned the Communist Party, and as a liberal democracy we can be proud of that, but of course we never needed to: it faded into meaningless irrelevancy of its own accord (a tradition continued to this day by the Greens, who if they ever catch a whiff of electoral success and the chance of actually doing something useful will promptly collapse into acrimonious debates about ending capitalism and disappear up their own arse until everybody else loses interest).

so is it funny that organisations predicated on working together for the common good keep splitting? yes of course it's funny, it's fucking hilarious! and tragic, if you believe in the goal, and think that it ever had a chance of being achieved in this way by these people.

in the meantime the rites continue to be dutifully performed but the modern infrastructure of Marxist organisation resembles little more than a pyramid scheme or an evangelical church that exists solely for the purpose of sucking in enough idealistic students to perpetuate the ideology to the next generation, while ensuring that they stay carefully isolated from any ideas that might seriously challenge the status quo (or honestly even ideas that might help to understand the status quo, a prerequisite to doing anything about it); this is also a funny situation but it's getting a little bitter, and I don't enjoy seeing so much potential go to waste.

I've said more on this topic, scattered across the past few years of posts, but I think that probably conveys the gist of it, although of course as always I'm happy to keep talking.
