kiss the pain away

Geordi and Data are perfect for each other if for no other reason than they're both THE BIGGEST SECURITY RISKS STARFLEET HAS EVER EMPLOYED.

Like between Geordi's VISOR getting hacked for MULTIPLE assassination attempts and Data hijacking the ENTIRE SHIP on numerous occasions, they're a disaster match made in software security heaven.

extremely biased because they're my favorites but god i think damsel/tower would be such a fun combination

damsel: don't you just adore the sensation of your heart beating? all i want is to make him happy ^_^

tower, an equally fragile vessel, dispassionate as a result of her divine ascension, and disgusted by any acknowledgement she's still bound by flesh and desires: how i pity thee

Beaumains and the Damosel Savage! Though he wed her sister Lady Lyonors and she his brother Sir Gaheris, they swore to forever remain friends until death do them part.

Things I won't forgive the fight club movie for regarding the character of Marla Singer, entry C:

The manic pixie dreamgirlification of her own struggle with life and death. The narrator gets to have a serious issue driving his alienation but Marla gets her cancer removed so her pithy statement about the tragedy of death being that she doesn't fall over dead randomly is just a bit Offbeat And Interesting And Edgy haha! She's a real tourist, really, nothing ever stated to be wrong about her. Sure she overdoses. Sure you can see she's got a shit life. But she doesn't get backstory. She doesn't get a life beyond fun little statements that, when her own reason for saying and thinking them is removed, mostly just reflect the narrator. In the book, it is very, very clear. Marla does what she does because she has cancer and is afraid of The Slow Death. The Wasting. The Struggle. By taking that away you even reduce her suicide attempt. It puts it all in this context of nothingness. Sure, you can assume a depth, but I don't think we should be uncritical about the fact that they chose to remove it. Marla Singer is more than an object that bothers the narrator out of the support groups and gets fucked by Tyler Durden. Marla Singer is a person in her own right in the book, and in the movie she's just... not.

KNIGHT FLOWER (2024)

🌸 Falling into you 🌸

Farscape as things from my own #gender tag. for funsies .

bonus:

so like, what's protocol,

(spoilers for netflix's damsel)

if you're a talking dragon lady who was tricked into murdering a bunch of innocent girls who weren't even the real daughters of the guy who murdered YOUR daughters, and then you murdered the dad of the latest girl sacrifice, after he had second thoughts about selling his daughter's life away (to the rich family who murdered your kids) (and protects themselves by murdering more of other peoples' kids) to save his starving kingdom and you kinda kill squished him for trying to save her- if, for example, he had a wife (now a widow) (due to you) (little awkward) whooooooooo HADN'T known about the sacrifice thing, but HAD gotten such a baaaaaad feeling that she tried convincing her stepdaughter NOT to go through with the arranged marriage, then went riding off with a stab wound to try saving her OTHER stepdaughter when THAT girl was ALSO taken to be sacrificed (to you)- but then blah blah blah, the truth comes out, her eldest stepdaughter defeats you and heals you with glow slugs, and you both burn the evil kingdom to the ground (the girl warned them) (only the castle servants took her seriously and ran) before all four of you sail off from the smoldering ruins while the widowed lady (proud daughter of the finest ropemaker in her homeland) heads home to rule their kingdom together (after FINALLY being called "mother" by her step daughter) with what's left of her family, leaving the place where her husband was killed, and you go with them, finally ending your centuries long watch over the bodies of your murdered children to make a new life with this fellow mother and her two kids....

hypothetically. how long, or how many heart to hearts would there need to be, for you (dragon milf) (lost her kids) (starting a new life) to maybe, possibly, be having a thing for lady bayford (lady queen milf) (lost her husband) (helped save her step-kids) maybe bond over caring for your kids more than literally ANYTHING else (whole starving or burning countries included) and like, bring her flowers or a shiny rock, or something.

or heck, you seem pretty set on the idea of fairness and repayment and such, what with the whole "three daughters sacrificed for the three daughters murdered" thing- and you DID kill her husband (while he was trying to protect their kid)

so theoretically, since YOU don't have a husband for HER to kill, i suppose you might decide that being her wife would be next closest thing, especially if you stood ready to lay down your dragon life for her stepdaughters. If that's not enough, promising to spend your very long life protecting her people might work too. Maybe also with giving her flowers?

..... im not saying this HAS to happen. But. If-

Zora Prompt: Zora OC My brain: A ZORA NAMED LINK FOR FORSAKEN ZELDA TO FIND

Zelda: Ok, I got another lead! This one is a bit different, though. Gerudo Link: Oh? Zelda: He's in Zora's Domain. Link: The--Princess, that's hostile territory, not to mention we have to climb waterfalls to get to it and-- Zelda: *clapping her hands together* I never back down from a challenge! Let's go!

Turns out they have to sneak in disguised as a Zora, and the best idea Zelda came up with was to sit on Gerudo Link's shoulders while they wear a trench coat cloak with sunglasses the hood on.

When Inigo Montoya experiences immeasurable loss and mental anguish that propels him to a path of vengeance that he temporarily gets lost on, becoming a worse version of himself, a roving mercenary who even inadvertently ends up furthering the goals of his sworn enemy until he meets an opponent who makes him stop take stock and recognise how lost he has become and how he doesn't have to be in this alone, swiftly followed by him killing the target of his revenge and riding off into the sunset with his new friends everyone is lining up around the block to applaud,

However when the Dragon in Damsel follows the same story beats in a font just different enough to keep from getting sued...

Aziraphale and Crowley's kinky roleplaying games.

| GO Season 1 vs. GO Season 2.

I just want to say you were my first introduction to slay the princess so I partially blame you for my current hyperfixation/j thank you I am deranged over eldritch horror princess and Just Some Guy eldritch horror bird (they are everything to me)

OH I will ask: who is your favourite princess/voice and why? Mine is voice of the contrarian bc he just like me fr, and thorn bc 🫶🫶

WOO glad you're into it! Definitely up there with my favorite games of all time

god I'm gonna have to give you a list. this was a much much longer answer because I have several paragraphs to say for Many Of My Favorites but I'll spare this blog the vomit for now until I can structure parts of it better

fave princesses: Witch and all its routes, Specter and all its routes, Nightmare and all its routes

Fave voices: Stubborn, Skeptic, Smitten. special shout-out to Opportunist for consistently having the best dialogue in the game tho, he sucks and I love him so much

Favorite routes: Razor, Thorn, Damsel

LEGITIMATELY it's so hard to pick but for the sake of giving Some explanation, the razor has to be my favorite for how it exists as the purest subversion of both the story the game is telling (which is itself a subversion of classic monsterslaying fairy tales) and it sort of has to get kind of meta, but it leans into it SO joyously. you as the protagonist being constantly split because the story plot twisted itself so fucking hard that it just. Broke Everything

and the result is absurd and horrifying and slips away from any kind of growth or cogency until both protagonists are stripped completely bare, and it's weird and it's hilarious and no one is having a good time except for the very AGENT of shifting perspectives, no longer constrained by any world or singular force that matters!

and also. How could I not pick the route that gave us The Look™.

Am I the only one that is genuinely curious about when Crowley realized(if he did) that:

A) Aziraphale could’ve gotten himself out of the chains in the Bastille EASILY

B) Gabriel wouldn’t have noticed if he performed a miracle to do it

C) Aziraphale seriously tried to hide how happy he was that Crowley came to save him and made him use a miracle on him

Like he lies SO MUCH to Crowley just so he can play Damsel In Distress. Which raises another question.

IS AZIRAPHALE JUST LIVING OUT HIS ROLEPLAYING FANTASIES? BECAUSE I WOULDN’T BE SURPRISED.

Just:

Imagine Crowley in the bookshop and realizing this. Just a loud thud followed by a “HOLD ON A DAMN MINUTE-“ comes from the backroom and Azi is like “Oh, good. He finally figured it out.”

THIS AMUSES ME SO MUCH.

I think Din and Luke should, at the very least, be friends, just so we have a scene of someone saying “There’s something going on over here, but we aren’t going to check it out until we know for sure that it’s safe to do so” and Din and Luke just slowly look at each other.

Then cut to a shot of them flying off towards danger at light speed because they are both the most impulsive danger magnets in the galaxy.

I think they should be friends :)
