house: this has absolutely nothing to do with wilson
also house: [brings up wilson unprompted] [spends 95% of the session either talking about wilson or deliberately avoiding talking about wilson] [literally admits it’s about wilson]
#yes they set it up as though the true root cause was cuddy in the end#but I beg you to consider that 1) house agreed to seriously unpack his feelings of rejection re: wilson in relation to his exacerbated#drinking & the bar fight#and 2) the patient of the week deliberately evoked moments from house’s head/wilson’s heart#with particular emphasis on the brain surgery#which was the one time that wilson ever put house second to someone else#specifically a girlfriend#AKA the exact curveball that house has just been thrown for a second time (albeit in a less grave context)#nolan suggests that house punished the patient’s husband the way he’s punishing himself because they’re both losing someone they love#yes we could assume that his alcoholism was made worse by cuddy and lucas’s commitment#but also… house started drinking himself into blackouts when sam and wilson got together. not when cuddy and lucas got together#which reminds me — the last time that house sought out getting trashed at the bar#was when WILSON AND AMBER GOT TOGETHER. this is a pattern for him.#he goes out and destroys himself when wilson becomes seriously romantically involved. ERGO…. this whole thing WAS abt wilson#I’ve connected the dots#house md#greg house#gregory house#hilson#james wilson#house/wilson#hatecrimes md#that ‘say it’ was literally him asking nolan to call him a f—

so about the ship thing . . . Have you heard of a little guy called Sailor Dee? They showed up in Revenge of Meta Knight as part of Meta Knight's crew, and I think a couple other times in minigames and merch. I imagine he'd be braver than the average dee since he works for MK, so maybe they'd be able to power through the ick reaction like Bandee
hmmm... i think you might be onto something!
might be about to give bandee a run for his money, perhaps. speaking of... here's a little bonus:
#my art#my comics#🎀💖#sailor waddle dee#starstruck dee#bandana waddle dee#as of current counts sailor has been *the* most prompted-for character of the shipaganza! popular little dee!#i also think sailor can be a little bit of a charmer? as a treat?#learned from th.... well. learned from someone who *thinks* they're the best.#also you know what this ship could be called. it could be ~sea star~. i thought of this when i was considering if her cushion#is space themed or ocean themed. they're probably sailor's cushions so i figure the latter. but still! what a coincidence!#turns out you CAN “flirt” with her but you've just got to say a really specific set of things. and it helps if you're a waddle dee probably#she's got a baseline desperation to be liked and accepted by waddle dees in particular so i think the bar is a little lower

truly wild that the only person on set who cared for drake bell after his abuser was arrested was dan fucking schneider. he really said "i may be a predator but i didn’t sodomize anyone so who’s the REAL bad guy here”
#the bar is SO low at nickelodeon huh#anywho i'm on episode 3 and it's really powerful#drake is SO brave for speaking out like this#i cannot even imagine how difficult his life has been#quiet on set#drake bell#brian peck#dan schneider#nickelodeon#summer says stuff

I thought it was hilarious, at first, that everyone’s decided Doomguy is still the protagonist of MyHouse.wad. After all, it doesn’t really have much more to do with Doom than gmod has to do with Half-Life 2. But then I remembered, isn’t that a plot point of Doom II? Visiting the burnt out ruins of your hometown on your way to the portal to Hell? Why couldn’t Doomguy take a few minutes to have a nightmare of an emotional journey in a childhood friend’s home to come to terms with everyone and everything he ever loved being destroyed?
#doom#myhouse.wad#lines i did#just to be clear i still do think its very funny that its been unanimously decided that dg is the protagonist of myhouse.wad#man has been fighting demons for thirty years and what does he get for his thirtieth birthday? more demons#except this time theyre mental and emotional demons#myhouse.wad does deserve all the popularity its getting tho#like.. yeah its amazing in its atmosphere n stuff#but its also nuts on a purely technological level#stepped inside the house the first time and just had to stop for a sec bc is that a hecking. BASEMENT?? a SECOND FLOOR in CLASSIC DOOM????#that shouldnt even be POSSIBLE.#(i mean. it obviously IS possible w clever use of various teleport effects. but still. it was a bit of a :O !!!!!!! moment)#setting a ridiculously high bar right off the bat and then following through for the rest of the game in meeting it#anyway. it was really good.#i guess in this case the good end would be more of a metaphorical/mental state?#being at peace internally as u go to voluntarily enter the depths of hell...#or something like that; anyway. idk man i am still just going :eyes: at the whole thing

The worst part about reading in a genre where you have low expectations (in this case, Christian historical fiction) is that when a book impresses you, you have no idea if it's actually good or if you're just overly impressed because it was a fraction of a degree better than the usual garbage.
#basically lately anytime i read a christian fiction book that isn't romance-based i find myself surprised by the quality#i do think that some christian publishers are getting better#and trying to tell stories that dig deeper into real faith and messy issues#instead of making only vapid squeaky clean prayer-filled tropefests#but i'm not sure *how much* better#because anything above the low bar feels like great literature#the most recent is 'in a far-off land' by stephanie landsem#and let me tell you setting the prodigal son in 1930s hollywood is a genius concept#i have some issues with the history and the mystery#but the characters!#it has been a long time since i cried this hard over a book#several chapters of solid waterworks#(and i also have the issue of figuring out if it's actually that moving or if i'm just hormonal/sleep-deprived)#i keep thinking about this book but also i worry about recommending because what if it's actually terrible by normal book standards?#(also the author DOES NOT understand the seal of confession and i was SHOCKED to find that she's actually catholic)#but also looking at the reviews makes it clear that if most of christian fiction is vapid garbage it's these reviewers' fault#here you have something that's digging into sin and darkness and justice and mercy and these people are just#'how can it call itself christian fiction if it only mentions god at the end?'#are we reading the same book this WHOLE THING is about god! and humanity and our fallen nature and how this breaks relationships!#your pearl-clutching anytime someone tries to get even a tiny bit realistic is destroying this genre#i'm gonna run out of tags so i'll stop now

no but listen: this new show is not A League of Their Own with black, hispanic, and queer people, it’s A League of Their Own about black, hispanic, and queer people. that’s HUGE. and it’s fucking fantastic!
#a league of their own#the bar has been set so low for so long#that the best I had hoped for was to be included#but to actually be centered in a show like this#it's really something special

@spec-b asked: Cloud doesn't realize it as he's sharping his sword, but he's humming "Yuffie's song" under his breath - as it's been dubbed. That tune has been stuck in his head for days though he'd never admit it to her face it was catchy - good, even. Creative. She'd enjoy that way too much and she needs to be kept in check from getting too big a head. "I'm.. so bored, bored right out of my brain.." He mutters, testing the newly sharpened tip.
There was no way.
Absolutely. No. Fucking. Way.
For a moment, Yuffie just watched him, a bright smile slowly spreading across her face as it became certain in her mind - she knew that melody. Oh. This was just about the best day ever, or evening, whatever. It was the best time she could have asked for.
“I knew it, I’m famous.” The grin on her face was something. As if all the firework festivals had come at once.
Sitting down without ceremony, the young Shinobi plopped onto the floor, crossed her legs and smiled. “You know, in another lifetime I would have been an idol.” While she might sound like she’d joking, no, Yuffie was fully convinced of it. If she’d spent as much train training for it as she did to be a Shinobi it would have been a certainty.
“You know,” taking a bite out of the piece of fruit in her hand, she reached forward to point at the materia slots on his weapon. “I should be charging you royalties for this. An orb a song.”

was reading through your claudes tag and came across this tag "at this point we’re only missing petruccio and we will have all the auditore siblings x desmond headcanons XD" and it made me think of an au where desmond is reborn around the same time as petruccio is born so they become childhood friends after they hit it off after tthye "coincidentally" meet on one of petruccio's rare days out
so they grow up together with desmond feeling guilty about using petruccio to get closer to petruccio's family not realizing that he's started thinking of them as petruccio's family instead of ezio's and that his motivation has shifted to saving petruccio instead of sparing ezio the pain of seeing his family die
meanwhile petruccio has a puppy crush on desmond forever because desmond while protective of him doesn't coddle him like his family does and also being very understanding about changing plans because of petruccio's disability like "oh we had planned to play outside today but now you're not feeling up to it that's cool lets go play cards, or read together, or play whatever board games existed in renaissance italy"
side tangent had the thought of desmond apprenticing to a woodcarver so that he could learn how to make some of the few board games he can remember from the future to play with petruccio
also i feel like demond would have to have petruccio's crush pointed out to him a la white aster before he has his oh oh moment probably by one of petruccio's siblings letting something slip by accident
The post from the #claudes tag where I did write in the tags that we’re only missing Petruccio from the Auditore family.
With this ask, Desmond now have the complete set XD
Okay, let’s talk about this childhood friends-to-lover setup for Petruccio and Desmond!
Why not just make Desmond be reborn as the son of a carpenter? That would give Desmond easy access to what can be considered as ‘trash’ and he could just start trying to carve it because he keeps on talking about board games he remembered playing and Petruccio always looked interested in playing them but then Desmond would remember that they wouldn’t be invented until later on.
We can even make Desmond’s father a descendant of the Vikings so he could teach Desmond how to carve out his first Orlog set so Desmond would have something to practice on.
From there, Desmond could start bringing his own board games to play with Petruccio.
So in this scenario, Desmond would have played lots of board games. Maybe one of his coworkers in Bad Weather liked board games and would invite his coworkers to play during the weekend or something and Desmond enjoyed it because it felt like he was connecting with people without lying about who he was.
In this situation, I think it would be funny if Desmond making board games he remember to play with Petruccio would lead to Leonardo discovering him as a genius ‘game maker’.
How?
Because a lot of the board games Desmond remembered needed more than two players (although Petruccio does love Patchwork and they play that a lot) so the other Auditore siblings (and sometimes their parents) get roped in to play with them as well.
The Auditores are competitive kids and even Petruccio shows his fangs during this time (even if the main reason why Petruccio is being competitive is because he doesn’t want to lose in front of Desmond and, really, the three try their best to support their youngest brother's puppy love but their thirst for victory superseded any familial love they feel for one another).
So Leonardo gets roped in to the weekly (biweekly? Triweekly?) board game night and he sees all of the many board games Desmond had made and he starts to interview him about them and Desmond tries to answer all of them, admitting that a lot of the board games are actually versions 2 or 3 because he had to tweak the game balance (since he didn’t remember all the rules) a lot of times which embarrasses him. This only makes Leonardo think highly of him because admitting that it’s not perfect meant that Desmond strives to keep upgrading his work.
Leonardo’s sudden interest in Desmond makes Petruccio jealous though and he already had to be make peace with how Desmond seem to be ‘like’ Ezio (in Desmond’s defense… he’s bias to Ezio thanks to his life as Desmond Miles).
But he can’t do anything because Leonardo is a friend of the family and a loyal friend for that matter and…
Well…
Leonardo was also trying to help Petruccio try to get Desmond’s attention.
It all comes to a boil when in one of the more stressful board games (I’m thinking maybe Nemesis or maybe even Werewolves/Blood on the Clocktower), someone (probably Claudia?) calls out Petruccio’s actions as less of him playing to win but playing to make sure Desmond wins and that’s cheating because he can’t let his love for Desmond be the reason why he’s willing to lose the game and drag everybody with him.
And everyone just grows quiet…
And Petruccio runs away.
While Desmond’s just sitting there, having his own “Oh my god, he loves me! Why didn’t I see that? Oh Jesus Christ, I’m so dumb! Why didn’t I notice it???” and “Do I… Do I love Petruccio??? Have I fallen for him without realizing it???” breakdown on the inside while he just looked at the board game blankly.
This would happen when Desmond and Petruccio reached like maybe 18 or 19 (so yeah, no Auditore execution event because Desmond had been busy).
Leonardo would actually be the one to talk to Desmond and he would talk about how the real reason why he fell in love with Desmond’s board games (which they’re working on selling soon) was because it was made with love.
Each carving done by the same pair of hands each time…
Each stories engraved in the board…
Each rules to ensure fairness…
Desmond wasn’t just making them for fun.
They had always been a labor of love.
But the question then becomes…
Who was Desmond thinking of when he was making all of these board games?
And Desmond just stares at Leonardo before he goes, “Thank you.”
Leonardo just smiles back as he asks, “I’m not the one who needs to hear the truth about these board games now, am I, Desmond?”
“Yeah…” Desmond stands as he agrees, “I should… I need to talk to Petruccio.”
Leonardo nods and watches as Desmond rushes back to Palazzo Auditore.
Ah… young love…
#yup#didn’t know how to end this XD#i’m sorry I focused so much on the board game aspect#i’ve been marathoning no rolls barred for a while now#so i read board games#and i focused on that XD#ask and answer#what name should we tag this?#petdes#despet#???#assassin's creed#petruccio auditore#desmond miles#teecup writes/has a plot#fic idea: assassin's creed#all we're missing is sef and darim and he'd also have the complete ibn-la'ahad set as well!

The thing about Zehir's pact is that he very clearly says it is to ensure that the party isn't lying, and it lasts for as long as they have interest in his mind. Now consider.
Fjord is telling the truth: he was involved in the breaking of the first two seals, but came to the temple to protect the final seal, and now intends to track down Uk'otoa.
Fjord made a pact with Uk'otoa in desperate straits and then broke it.
Fjord also has an intact pact and oath with Melora, Zehir's nemesis, and declines to give up her vestige nor does he take any of Zehir's boon for himself, and he expresses a preference for the mountain over the shadows.
Zehir is evil but he is not a fucking idiot, and there are way easier souls to corrupt than a guy who demonstrably will break a pact and re-seal you.
Yeah I'd probably also lose interest immediately once Uk'otoa was dealt with.
#with all due respect WHO is doing it like him (Fjord. also Zehir though probably)#like. this is a touch of salt in your tags but people were like ummm I don't want anyone else to play a druid?#bc we've already had such a great druid?#and it's like look we have had such a great druid but it's not like anyone holds the copyright and look! Fearne is great too!#but also the bar has been set at ATMOSPHERIC levels for warlocks. let's discuss that.#critical role spoilers#critical role#fjord stone

First new Ari, then Bey, then Vampire Weekend, and finally Taylor like what an absolutely incredible time to be me when all of my favs release new music in the span of a MONTH. And it’s all EXCELLENT (well dead poets remains to be seen, or heard rather) but my god what an embarrassment of riches for me! And then hottie 3000 Dua Lipa as a little bonus a month later like what a feast!!!
#it’s not that Taylor has a lot to live up to or anything but#but virtue of being in the company of all of these incredible albums the bar has unfortunately been set#she CAN clear it! but I’m so ptsd from midnights I just need a single I beg#but also historically if the single is good the album is eh#and vice versa so idk what I want#I want a seagull by Anton chekov that’s what I want

#me? about to use tumblr as a diary again? in 2024? unfortunately:/#but here have a waterfall i saw on a hike last week as payment#i am sO tired and exhausted emotionally after dating#there's this guy that i fr thought was going to last and be around for a long time. we spent like every moment together that we could for 2#months straight and if we werent physicaly together we were texting or calling or on ft . just every part of our day had the other in it#not once did i ever feel unwanted undesired or uncared for. not once did i feel that i wasnt sure of his intentions. i felt safer with him#in those 2 months than i ever did with any one else i could think to compare to.#until one day he just didnt think it important to communicate any more. after 3 days of nearly nothing .. hardly any talking . i asked if#he was ok if we were ok. what was going on in his head. he said some ive just been with my buddies and family and havent been on my phone#and just. immediately thats heartbreak yanno. thats :// thats what they say when theres a new girl. but there'd never been a reason to think#there was another girl so i was like ok we're gonna trust bc this dude has been So good in every way. so i said imy but i understand. enjoy#your time with your buddies and with your fam -- i cant wait to hear about it (and hold you)#and i havent heard from him in the 3 weeks since. just randomly#so last night#i send the dreaded 'i miss you' text.#i dont expect to hear back and i accept the hurt that will come with that and the confusion that i've felt settles deeper into my heart#until this afternoon i hop on ig and see a hard launch that was posted an hour after my text was sent#that shit kinda hurt different. but also sent me into a bit of a delirious state where all i could do is laugh bc are you for fucking real#did she see my message? i know it. bc i know him and i know that he wouldnt hide anything from the person he's giving his heart#and his softness to. i can almost imagine how he showed her and promised her theres nothing to worry about#and there really isnt anything to worry about because he genuinely is the type to give his all to the relationship he's in#which feels silly to say after what happened w us. like no there wasnt a title ever#it sucks to call it a situationship because a month ago we were laughing in bed together about how we could never bc we were all in.#just the timing of the hard launch makes me giggle. did my text push them to have a conversation about what they are. was she really the#reason that he went away on me.#im trying not to blame myself . trying not to think about the phone calls i didnt answer. about what i could have done differently. trying#not to think about where we would be if i didnt let my anxieties hold me back. if i wasnt scared about what he'd think of the parts of me#that i keep hidden just a little bit longer than the rest.#and at the same time im trying not to put him on a pedestal. but that pedestal is just where i wholeheartedly believe he belongs#he set the bar for me. he set the standard. i was never too much. i was never too little. he made me feel perfect just as i am
