✒️ hooked - snowjanus week day 1 - based on this post
✒️day one: first meet
✒️ in order to graduate, coriolanus needs to have a certain amount of community service hours on his record.. oh, brother. luckily, the ever generous plinth family is offering internships to students, giving them a glimpse of the wonderful world of business. each student is assigned a "mentor" who is supposed to show them the ropes.
and lucky for coriolanus, he got the best of the bunch– the heir to the plinth throne himself. little does he know, this internship isn't as innocent as it seems.
✒️trigger warnings: none :]
✒️ a/n: i have no idea what this is. happy snowjanus week lmao. also please do read the post link on the far right, it gives some context 🙏🙏
It was a field trip, really? A fucking field trip? Could there be anything more juvenile than this? The last time they had a field trip was in Elementary school, when they took a trip to Dr. Gaul's lab– To show off all of her amazing inventions for society. All they really took away from that day was a goodie bag filled with questionable candy.
The first day of Internship Week at the Academy. Students sign up to spend the week volunteering at a local business and by the end of the week, fill out a form saying whether or not they'd like to continue their service with said business. Most of them were cutesy bakeries or small shops, owned by women who surely were old enough to be considered fossils. Fabricia's store downtown even offered a position, but none of them caught Coriolanus' attention.
Coriolanus wanted a job in the government, which came to a shock to most others. Really? I thought you'd be a writer or something.. Clemmie told him when she found out. How dull, he thought. What good will being an author do him? No. That's not the life he wants.
Snow lands on top. And he'll do everything in his power to make sure he will.
So, he's interning at Plinth Enterprise's, a company that went big in the Dark Days. Supposedly, they sold weapons.. But the money they had accumulated couldn't have just come from weapons, surely. It was a big conspiracy.
The bus ride there was uncomfortable and rickety. Only a dozen roads had been fully patched up after the war, most still fill of potholes. The ones in Downtown– Where Plinth Enterprise's resigned– were halfway patched.
At least he was alone. Only maybe five other students chose to intern at Plinth Enterprise's, Felix Ravenstill and Festus Creed being the most notable.. Well, scratch that. Felix didn't interest him. Festus was a good enough of an acquaintance to consider a friend. But not good enough to sit with.
The bus came to a screeching halt, causing Coriolanus' head to slam against the window he was leaning on. Great.
He stepped off the bus, met with the towering sight of Plinth Enterprise’s, at least 30 stories tall. Do they really need this many floors? He thought, leaning his head back to try and get a glimpse of the top. They just manufacture weapons.. Surely they should be in a factory, or at least near one. The only things to be seen were skyscrapers and other various buildings, though. No factories or warehouses in sight... The windows all had a gloomy tint to them. Were they trying to hide something? Now that would be funny.
A funny looking man came through the glass doors at the front (“what is it with rich people and glass?”), and declared himself their tour guide. He gave a name but Coriolanus could care less. It was almost like looking in a mirror with the way the guide was dressed– White dress shirt that was clearly too tight hidden by a dark blazer to try and counter it. His slacks seemed to fit him just fine, though. Coriolanus envied that. He was squeezed so tightly in these clothes it felt like his head would pop off his shoulders any moment.
The interior of the building was just as elegant as the outside of it– Lush black carpets and leather seats, a basket of fresh fruit on every table. Coriolanus’ stomach rumbled at the sight, thankfully covered by the hustle and bustle of the employees in the lobby. Everything and everyone was dressed in monochrome colors. It was almost like stepping into a new world.
Their guide led them down a hall and up two flights of stairs. I really shouldn’t have skipped breakfast, Coriolanus thought with dismay. His head was already beginning to cloud and feel airy. Stay focused.
They were led through another set of doors into a giant, pale room with staircases sprawling out on either side of a landing. It had a railing and everything. This very place is the definition of "look at me! I have money!"
The guide then went into a clearly over-rehearsed speech about what they would be doing– Acting as assistants, basically. Messenger boys. Fucking fantastic. They were to be assigned a mentor of sorts who would give them their assignments and educate them on the business when they had the time.
The doors at the top of the landing opened, and a boy in a suit came out. Now he looked like he belonged here– Buff frame with curly brown hair, stubble coating his chin and cheeks, all wrapped up in a nice black suit.
Coriolanus' stomach fluttered. Now is not the time to get a crush. And his voice? Oh, just as heavenly.
"We're all very, very glad you're here." Smooth, low, but if you listened close enough, you'd catch some grit. Like a ripple in a pond.. The boy pulled out his hand from his pocket– Gloved hand, oh fuck– And unfolded a white slip of paper. "I'll be reading off your mentoring assignments. They'll be here shortly and we can get this show on the road.."
He cleared his throat. "Mr. Creed, you'll be with Athena." He glanced up. "Mr. Ravenstill.. Woo, what an honor. You'll be with Tiberus. Mr. Pennyworth, you're with Caesar.. And.."
The brunette stared him down with a gaze that was bordering on intimacy. Coriolanus felt himself start to sweat under the collar of his much too tight dress shirt. He didn't even know this boys name, and he was already thinking things that would get him fired on the spot.
The boy wet his lips, looking up from his paper wirh a grin before gesturing a finger at Coriolanus. "And you, blondie.. You're with me."
Oh, fuck. Just what I needed.
The mentors and their interns soon split up. Christ, did he look better up close. "May I ask for your name, sir?" Coriolanus asked, trying to keep his eyes focused on the boys face at least.
"Professionally?" He took a step forward, placing his gloved hands in his pockets. "Mr. Plinth." Oh, fuck. "But.. I've never been one for professionalism.. So call me Sejanus."
"Sejanus.." A sweet name for a sweet looking boy. "I'm looking forward to our time together."
"So am I." Sejanus smiled at him.
This was going to be a long week.

ppl say jc and wwx hate each other and want nothing to do with one another as if their complex feelings for each other isn’t the emotional baseline that the story rests upon. ‘yiling laozu’ wouldn’t even exist without jc.
#ppl try to break it down to simple hate. or master/servant dynamics. or even brotherly dynamics. like no none of those things encompass#whatever the fuck chengxian feel for each other#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#chengxian#mdzs

my mind has been developing this delusion world in which tywin lannister was the mad king’s sugar baby. aerys was “vain, proud, and changeable, traits that made him easy prey for flatterers and lickspittles” (awoiaf p.190). upon becoming king, he fired his father’s older and wiser hand and named tywin in his place, making tywin the youngest hand in the entire history of the seven kingdoms, but how did we get there?
there were childhood friends. tywin served as a page in court and we know from genna that tywin mistrusted laughter due to hearing too many people laughing at his father. at this point in time, the lannisters were a laughingstock or at least tywin wholeheartedly believed this, so the subsequent friendship he makes with the crown prince thrusts him upwards in status and into higher scrutiny. tywin is the elder, but aerys is the prince. they spend years together with the established dynamic of aerys being the one with power and tywin (albeit his friend) his servant. it is only when tywin dares to step outside this master/servant dynamic aerys has cooked up, that they begin to fall apart.
they go to war together. aerys chooses tywin, a newly made knight, to knight him. this was the war of the ninepenny kings, he could have chosen gerold hightower. he could have chosen roger reyne, or any number of distinguished knights and commanders, but no he chose tywin who had likely just been knighted himself. for added context, during this war tywin’s father stayed at home with his mistress rather than taking to the battlefield. nearly a year later, aerys is crowned and tywin is named hand of the king. as hand of the king, tywin is allowed any expense, any decision, literally allowed to do anything he wants at aerys’ leave (up until their toxic breakup era).
something that always fascinated me within this was why after gaining power of his own merit and name does he make his father’s mistress do a walk of atonement? at first, i believed this to be a way to embarrass his father further from the grave and cement his notoriety. however, right after he forces the walk of atonement, aerys and tywin rule the kingdom from casterly rock for a year (awoiaf p.194). if we believe that tywin has a subconscious or conscious shame in regards to using aerys’ fondness for him (whether you want to see it romantically or not) for seize of power and political gain, the walk of atonement is so interesting as it is a public self-flagellation of a transactional relationship that he himself mirrors. it is after this very act that aerys holds court (and tywin) at casterly rock, the scene of the crime in a sense. here tywin is, like his fathers mistresses in the same very home, flattering and bootlicking the same man for money, influence, and power. it is only after this year in casterly rock where tywin is forced to reconcile with these similarities that their relationship dissolves.
in conclusion, tywin was playing sugar baby to aerys and their relationship soured when tywin decided he wished for power that was truly his own rather than through aerys.
#additionally in regards to joanna. i view tywin and joanna as having like trauma bonded over being aerys’ mistresses#asoiaf#guava.txt#tywin lannister#aerys targaryen#aerys ii targaryen#the mad king#aerwin#tywin sugar baby au (or is it?) this is just my preferred canon interpretation thanks for coming to my ted talk#might write an aerys viewpoint on this but essentially aerys is insecure he knows the only reason he’s in power is bc of his name#he knows others think tywin a better fit and he likely does too so he abuses their power dynamic and lowers it from friends to that of#servant and master so that it makes him feel less insecure. he’s also one sided in love with tywin and likely has been his whole life. yea.#the question is: what was the last straw at casterly rock?#i think aerys gave him jewels or like clothes or some shit that his father did for his mistress and he like lost it. bam! tywin is here#this was not supposed to be so long god. i didn’t even get into my jaime thing 😥#house lannister#tywin sugar baby au

I love JC and W/W/X's mess primarily as platonic but I can't deny the eroticism of putting your organ in your bestie. XD
Some shippers have compared them to the couple from Wuthering Heights and while I never finished reading that so I can't comment, I can appreciate the gothic horror vibes.
-Regular Anon
Hi there, anon!
Oh, absolutely. Lol JC and WWX are a wonderful disaster whether as ship or platonic, and I very much appreciate every interpretation bc the amount of emotions and baggage there is off charts and I'm all for it!
Their tragedy is one of the most fascinating parts of the story imo bc of how rich and complex their dynamics are, I could read a book only about them :D
I'm gonna be honest with you chief, I have never willingly consumed anything related to Wuthering Heights ^^;. I know it's like an english classic or something, but I guess it's not that popular on my side of the globe :P, everything I know of it is from pop culture and tv parodies, so I can't comment on it either lol
#replies#mdzs#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#these two are such a telenovela!!#they loved and cared so much about each other but they had also so many issues!#both individually and together#and it didn't help that socially their dynamics were blurry af#not brothers but not master-servant either nor superior and underling#they are so interconnected and they tried so hard to protect each other and communication I don't know her ;-;#asdfghjk it's so juicy I love it!!#btw I always thought Wuthering Heights was on the same vein as Jane Austen's work for some reason#but gothic horror is always nice

"don't worry himari chan the ramen death time loop isn't real it can't hurt you"
the ramen death time loop:
#girls blossom project#bandori#bang dream#bang dream girls band party#played through the tomoe route today#and the chu2 route#still of the opinion that the chu2 route would be a good basis for an event that would flesh out the relationship between pareo and chu2#in a way that wasnt just a master servant dynamic#(not a fan of that dynamic so im probably just biased)

my favorite flavor of codependency in ships is probably "puppeteer/marionette". the marionette might not like being at the mercy of their puppeteer, but they'd be paralyzed on their own, so they have to stay, no matter how bad it gets. similarly, the puppeteer is nothing without their marionette, so they have to keep pulling the strings-- and while they do enjoy their position, the knowledge that they can't stop (even if it starts to hurt) without losing who they are still looms threateningly over their head. the two of them are wholly and inextricably linked, yet they keep an arm's length between each other, the nature of puppetry rendering them unable to grow closer or drift apart.
the way it blurs the line of who- if either of them- truly holds the power here... the way they continue to hollow themselves and each other out until it's difficult to discern where one ends and the other begins... 10/10 i love it when characters are extremely bad for each other but also all they know
#i guess it's basically a subtype of master/servant but it has a very different vibe to me#(tho i like master/servant a lot as well)#master/servant can be healthy (in the sense that they respect and care for each other) but this never is#it's also different from a ghost-possession dynamic because they aren't literally fused together#both parties here could walk away at any time but they don't#i need a new personal tag

So, if I start reading translations online for chapters, do you think I have to start over from chapter 1, or do you think that knowing changes that were made, I won't lose much if I start from where I last finished in playing in the EN version?
I think EN is mostly the same as JP, but key parts of the experience definitely get left out in EN. It’s fine to just play through the localization if you’re looking to generally understand the story. You don’t need to start from the beginning to follow what’s going on. I suggest reading translations if you have the time for it or just cross referencing them if you sense that something feels “off” in the EN version.
There is no comprehensive compilation of all differences between JP and EN; it would be very difficult to search up and educate yourself on every localization change. However, I encourage you to go out of your way to look into these differences when possible; it’s an interesting study of our cultural differences.
Please also note that there is considerable cut content from episode 5! You’ll need to search up the missing scenes on Youtube for the “full” TWST experience.
See the tags for a surprise—
#twst#twisted wonderland#twst en#twisted wonderland en#disney twisted wonderland#notes from the writing raven#question#advice#okay ngl though I don’t like how EN watered down some stuff surrounding Jamil and Kalim#JP Jamil: ‘If my rebellion/OB ever gets out my whole family will be punished’#EN Jamil: ‘My parents will be so mad if they find out’#really makes his reason for OBing seem… petty??? When it really isn’t#Jamil and Kalim’s master-servant dynamic in general was watered down#I feel like this contributes a lot to why I see so many EN exclusive players thinking ‘why didn’t Jamil just talk to Kalim’#their relationship in EN feels less like master-servant and more like employer-disgruntled employee#where Jamil can leave at any time but. that’s not true#his whole family’s legacy and livelihood depends on this and he doesn’t want to be guilty of destroying that#*remembers that they made Jamil say he wanted to teach a parrot how to say ‘hello’ instead of ‘master’ like in JP*#that particular localization decision didn’t even make sense imo#saying all of this in the tags because I didn’t want to go on a tangent in the post

every time i see olivier and roland they're like older versions of jamil & kalim. i love them sm
#LIKE THEY HAVE THE SAME DYNAMICS AND EVERYTHING BUT THE BEST THING ABT IT IS THAT. KALIM HAS THE POTENTIAL#to be just as capable as roland while still remaining his joyeux attitude#the thing is that i would like jamikali so much more if kalim actually learned how to stand for himself and would be on a level#where he could actually stand as an equal alongside jamil instead of their stifling master/servant dynamic bc it ultimately#just ends up restraining any development for the two of them to showcase who they rlly are as individuals#thankfully tho in recent chapters they're starting to break against the mold they were forced to be in since they were children#and i really cant wait to see where they continue on and progress from there.#twisted wonderland#twst#jamil viper#kalim al asim#scarabia

I think my struggle right now with this fic besides the fact that I haven't really figured out an outline is that I've read tons of fics where Liet is having an absolutely amazing time (sarcasm if haven't caught on yet) and they can be really good or really bad and Almost laughable
#i definitely need to write more of ivan verbally tearing Liet apart for no good reason#because it's fun as hell to#ive been wanting to write something involving their master servant dynamic probably since when i first watched the show#but how far is too much#how much do i need to break this man?

I wasn’t even raised ‘religiously’ Christian but suddenly confronting all the Very Christian Principles(tm) that have ended up woven into my life anyway (as I research and pursue my own interests in spirituality) is jarring
#it's like 'you cannot displease a deity! they are understanding beings'#and i'm like 'wait wut'#'it is not a master/servant dynamic!' and im just suddenly realizing all the very Christian influences on my view of religion

if i had a nickel for every time i got into a shounen that ended up with a lot of bdsm fashion and themes in it i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird it happened twice
#yugioh and black butler my beloved#black butler is more into the master/servant dynamics#and the uniform kinks (and feet a LOT but thats not really bdsm)#and yugioh is more into the leather and chains type of stuff#they both got some sadomasochism stuff going on though#also while bb is obviously WAY more into fashion (yana my designer queen)#there's still some awesome fashion in yugioh too#i want so many outfits from both series tbh#devo speaks
