#you're not dense
Note
Apologies for the questions but I can be just as dense as percy sometimes. In the last prompt did Emmy call her papa with the excuse that she didn't want to give her friends take out for dinner so he can come cook for them and her friends can see Percy embarass himseld fawning all over Nico not expecting that they would find Nico attractive too? Or, did she tell Nico what's going on and asked him to come home pronto so her friends can stop shamelessly ogling Percy but it backfired all the same?
Poor Emmy, her dads are so busy looking at each other ofc they wouldn't notice other people staring at them 😂.
Also I guess Emmy must be a beauty if she takes after both of them.
What you need to know about Emilia is that personality-wise she takes after Nico, but she's a total daddy's girl and is closer to Percy. She idolizes her parents' relationship, and hates anyone even looking at her dad.
Yes, she called Nico with the excuse of "my friends are home and dad wants to order takeout!" But left enough hints to let him know her dad was being flirted with. Nico humored her, because he gets it, but he's as bad as Percy when picking up he's being ogled at or flirted with. Plus, they are kids, most adults don't notice kids getting crushes on them.
As for Emilia's appearance, she has Nico's Mediterranean features, but Percy's green eyes. She also reaches Nico's height once she finishes growing (5′6″), so she's not super tall, but above average.

more phoenix wright situations
#ace attorney tag#maybe i should tag this narumitsu or something. but i dont really care.#gearing up to rereading/illustrating bits of my fic i suppose...i think nick really is too dense to realise he's in love with edgeworth#without some scheming fop trying to intrude. i love villains like kristoph..villains can be fun..witnessing their pathetic folly..#or more like edgeworth would never have mentioned his feelings ever in his life if he wasn't sure phoenix reciprocates.#i want to see it this way because Falling in love during childhood with the person you're going to end up with. is not relatable#there have to be Situations that make you Realise.#as with orufrey i adore the idea of people not working out their romance with that person until their 30s+#but... i mean. even with orufrey i often think how alaira could be qifrey's ex. and oru having been pursued by noble fops through his work#there is that delicate sliver of time before orufrey start living together that such believable situations could have happened.#Then the relief of politely and amicably extricating themselves from those untenable situations#the idea of falling in love age 7 and saving your first kiss for age 35 or something is all very well but more relatable is#people realising how they really feel whilst trying something that ends up feeling wrong.#The comfort and joy of living with your dearest one as if it's platonic - much preferable to trying anything more with anyone else.#But i doubt i will ever portray that or mention it further. it is indeed very delicate to me.#and i really am an OTP FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kind of person who can barely bear to consider this anyway...NOT a polyshipper i'm afraid !#so i wouldn't mind either if they do have their first kiss in their lives age 35 with each other either. I would not mind that at all.#i love bi/gay couples apparently... bi father figures & their grumpy gay men waiting for them to work it all out...#not used to using colour in comic-style drawings..or at all..so this is messy and awkward looking..but colour is refreshing#i imagine i will go back to witch hat art soon btw. my destiny in life.#i still remember writing my nrmt fic expecting to write their first kiss & then partway through twas like Umm No. They have kissed prior.#does that really line up with this comic though... i think i had their early dinner dates/first kiss BEFORE disbarment.#so i guess this comic doesn't line up with my ficverse.... No..... U___U Oh well. sorry kris! <3

The thing that amuses me about BumbleBY discourse is that RWBY, as a show, is very not subtle about the direction it is taking these two. It is blindingly obvious that this is the direction that the show is going in from V3C11 at the absolute latest.
The writers are not subtle about it. The voice actors certainly aren't subtle about it. The soundtrack isn't subtle about it, Jeff and Casey fed us more in V4 than the show itself did. The series branched out into manga and comics and a spinoff anime and they were also very not subtle about it. The creator himself was not subtle about it.
The show has been pointing more and more arrows at a giant neon sign saying "Blake and Yang are girlfriends!" since it started.
And yet somehow, people still miss that. For whatever reason, people manage to be completely blindsided by a subplot that the show was building for nine seasons and several spinoffs.
If you did somehow watch Burning the Candle, Heroes and Monsters, and Downfall and didn't see where things were going, if you did listen to Wings, Armed and Ready, and All That Matters and didn't realise that these characters were meant to be in love, then either your media literacy is so awful that you should really do some more reading, or you got that take from a Youtuber who doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about and you need to start forming your own takes rather than waiting for Youtubers to give them to you.
#This might come across as a little mean#But honestly#The show isn't being clever about it#It's really fucking obvious#And if you missed it#you're either trying to miss it or you're being dense#RWBY#BumbleBY

screaming going insane im begging you to talk more about house developing a pavlovian response to wilsons nagging. like you’re right.
like house is already not subtle about wilson (you can only joke about wanting to fuck a guy so much before people start thinking you actually wanna fuck the guy) (i am not convinced he was ever joking)
and house has sooo many issues, the most prevalent being ones that stem from his leg and resulting disability after a life of activity, BUT we also must consider also those that stem from his childhood..... when a parent treats you terribly even the most logic-minded and rational people will think they deserve it. and when that is normal for you, it's almost a comfort. especially if that's the only attention you're getting from them
now let's set that aside for a second. house has always thought of wilson positively from day one (finding him "interesting" which is like the normal person equivalent of saying love at first sight, in this case) and i am not alone in thinking that house is pining in some form. and he fucks. the wires get crossed. something in his brain goes from "no one can make him mad like i can :) " to "he's hot when he's negging me" to house beating it in the hospital showers
95% (why did the numbers get HUGE just then. like i'm making a point sure but goddamn 70 point font pop off) of the time house will walk away from an interaction with wilson feeling great, even if he just got lectured within an inch of his life. just look at how often he gets the Diagnosis Revelation just from bothering wilson for five minutes (and that being all of wilson's screentime in the ep)
they're sick. they're basically having sex every episode. there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see
#house md#hilson#anon#ask#i am not a psychologist or whatever. obviously. disclaimers n such#and like wilson is so fr about getting on to house is the worst part#he doesnt even notice how house's pupils dilate when he tells him “i'm glad you're here actually” in That Tone#but yeah in short the self loathing and daddy issues meeting a mother hen is a recipe for disaster#and or crazy insane messy sex if wilson would stop being dense and repressed

i think the whole cringe is dead, radical sincerity, depth of genuine emotion, earnest effort, and unironic love thing that tumblr has going on the past few years has transformed my outlook on things and changed me for the better. but it does mean that now the people i know irl will give me strange looks for being too sappy or too poetic or too dedicated or too excited about about something because they're still stuck in their "well i only like this ironically" phase. guess that's their problem tho not mine <3
#like on here i could spontaneously decide to write a poem about life & love & death & the dying peace lily on my parent's porch#and everybody would be like omg love it#or i could write essays analyzing mcrp. or dig up documents from 1910 and 1956 for fanfic research#and everyone is like 🤩#and in real life there's like a 90% chance anybody would just be like. that's good for you....you're a little weird though.....#or i will say something i was thinking about and people will get all cynic on me or something#SORRY for having a writer's/artist's/photographer's brain i guess and seeing the beauty in the world#idk idk so many people i meet irl are allergic to genuine expressions of emotion or artistry#there was a lady i saw on the train once who was reading a densely-written pocket sized planner...from 2013#i think about her sometimes. was that her planner? were those good memories? was she trying to remember something? has it been a kind decade#and when i told my dad he couldn't at all see anything i saw in the moment. he just made jokes about her being crazy#but i liked the moment

Do you eat peahen eggs? If yes, what do they taste like?
My wife raises geese and their eggs are huge, 3x the size of a hen’s eggs, and are generally fluffier and delicately sweeter.
I do! They taste like an egg.
I'm not allowed to answer anything more, apparently
#the yolk is REALLY THICK#like dense#I've had goose and duck and they're fairly similar in consistency#waterfowl tend to have fluffy whites#peafowl whites are also pretty dense#Personally I like peafowl eggs better than chicken and duck and goose and quail#but quail is a close second#very smooth and silky yolk#hardboiled quail eggs are the best egg#it's just the right amount of egg parts#anything bigger and you're wading through a sea of white#and whites are my least favorite to eat#usually I cook the yolks of peafowl eggs for me and give the whites back to the birds#asks#peafowl#eggs#bug the peahen#peahens

NETTLES AND RHAENYRA, CHARACTER FOILS.
Because I'm not an English teacher
So the question is, How is Nettles Rhaenyra's foil?
1. Appearance .
Rhaenyra is a pretty standard Valyrian beauty. Silver locks, purple eyes, quite pretty, later on in life we get the change that she didn't lose the wait after giving birth to her kids and becùase of misogyny, her beauty has faded. Features like her long hair worn in the style of Visenya and so on are also mentioned. It's giving the Realm's delight in a real sense (not the weird sense).
Nettles, on the other hand, is juxtaposed as 'ugly'. She's brown, is skinny, has crooked teeth, a nose scar, and has short hair.
The maesters like to play to damn much, basically. But they are described as almost exact opposites. Short and long hair, skinny and fat, white and brown skin, purple and brown eyes, etc.
The narrative purpose is to ultimately show their different upbringing and places in this society.
2. Status
Rhaenyra is shown to be the princess, heir to the throne and queen throughout the book. No matter what happens with her, the security and privilege she has almost always goes over what other women have. Her only real threat is the men (and book Alicent) who have personal stake in her not ascending her throne. She's also entirely spoilt as princess and heir by her father and more so her uncle.
Nettles, on the other hand, is introduced to us as an orphan from Driftmark. We're told she could've been a thief and a sex worker by the time we met her. She has no name, lands, titles, or family that we are presented with in the narrative and her backstory for better or less is a patchwork of what her life was possibly like on Driftmark.
Unlike Rhaenyra, we don't follow every salacious rumour and really don't know much about her past.
3. Dragons
Rhaenyra’s dragon Syrax was a cradle egg hatched to her, a Targaryen custom. She's also the youngest dragonrider at 7 I believe.
Nettles claims her dragon at no older than 16 years old. He is a wild dragon (a distinction given to hatched Targaryen dragons that haven't been riden and live away from the keep) and slaughters many before she claims him.
4. Virtue
The notion of virtue in asoiaf is extremely complex, especially with these two women and the vastly different backgrounds. But virginity and speculation also develops both their characterizations in the narrative.
Rhaenyra allegedly "sleeps" with Daemon to practise what she wants to do with Criston (she's 15-). In the show, it becomes obvious that she almost sleeps with Daemon and officially sleeps with Criston. Either way, promiscuity and naivety are written into her character. The only point of conflict is who is involved with what happened in these instances less than what happened. Later on her promiscuity is brought up when Ser Harwin Strong is said to be the father of her first three children.
On the other hand, Nettles' sexual promiscuity is given to her in the narrative. The claims of her being a whore or sleeping around with shepherds are claims made by men who don't know what she was doing at that time. Men who made similar claims about Rhaenyra and their involvement in her loss of virtue as well. Where these stories differ is in Maidenpool, where the assumption of promiscuity is given a different voice.
This time, maids are alluding to an inappropriately close relationship between Daemon and Nettles (yet again, he finds himself here).
5. Daemon
Speak of the devil, and he will appear.
His dynamic is important to these women and their place in the narrative. Saving one dooms the other, leaving with one isolated the other. His decisions ultimately affect one while benefiting the other.
The cruellest example of this dynamic is him letting Nettles go after being the reason she is trapped in the narrative and ultimately dooming Rhaenyra by choosing to kill Aemond instead of going back to her.
His dynamic with both was also comparable with gift giving and quality time and even inappropriate relationship he developed with both of them, notably around similar ages. ( Both these relationships have significant power imbalances).
Between them both, his affection to one affects the other detrimentally.
6. Jace
Specifically in reference to his death, it's notable that within the narrative, while Nettles is described as crying by herself in response to his death, Rhaenyra is hardened by it.
Also, as symbols for legitimacy and legacy, Jace is the reason Nettles is recognised as a dragonseed, and Rhaenyra's line is secured as her first born, but in his absence, Nettles is delegitimised and said to be not a dragonseed. Around that time, Rhaenyra is beginning to be questioned by all the men around her as well, whereas before, Jace was a notable voice in decisions.
7. Dragons in the End.
They both meet their 'end' in the narrative with Dragons. Rhaenyra is killed by her brother's dragon Sunfyre burns and eats her, killing her in front of her son.
Nettles, however, escapes the narrative on dragonback, with the stories that follow explicitly explaining how dragon fire protects her and leads her to become a deity for the burned men.
8. Children
In the narrative, Nettles has no children. Children would explicitly be a burden in her described circumstances as a mouth to feed and someone else to care for. Effectively, children would trap Nettles in a cycle of poverty and inability to experience ethe freedom presented in the narrative.
Rhaenyra is expected to have children to secure her legacy and reign. Children, especially sons, would be her greatest benefit to ensure her ascension to the throne. They are her biggest strategy and losses throughout the war because of that reason.
This dynamic carries out to a head with the death decree for Nettles. The possibility that she would have a child by Daemon is a definitive reason that her 'treason' calls for her head. A child would give her a claimant but also be proof of infidelity by Daemon. It would be a slight to Rhaenyra’s pride and grief as she at this point has lost 4 children during the war.
9. Loyalty of men
This is one of the most interesting for me because the disloyalty of men for Rhaenyra meant the loyalty of men to Nettles. When the Mootons decide not to kill her, they are traitors to Rhaenyra. When Daemon lets her leave, he's a traitor to Rhaenyra. When Corlys stands up for both her and Addam, he's treated like a traitor. Furthermore, the Mootons turn to Aegon’s side directly after because they did not obey her for two reasons, Nettles being accused and sentenced without trial, and Rhaenyra wanting them to break guest right.
Within the narrative, at that point, loyalty to Rhaenyra was a sentence on Nettles' life, and loyalty to Nettles was treason to Rhaenyra.
Conclusion.
In other ways, like the impact of their legacy, the symbols of their identity (dragons), other ways that their narratives with Daemon (the stories) play out and so on juxtapose these women against each other in the narrative. Age and innocence in both a meta and narrative sense also play into Nettles being a foil for Rhaenyra’s character. Personally I think the reason ts written that way is for Nettles to cause a Stark difference in behaviour with men like Daemon and the Mootons as well as to show the contrast of what is expected and what is to be done and what actually happens.
Hope this helps 🩷🤎

"For both bonobos and chimpanzees, the bodies of the dead evoke many emotions. Even if the process often begins with trauma and confusion, typically corpses shift to a liminal status; not alive, but equally not a lump of meat. They're more intensively manipulated than hunted animals, and carried for longer. In some – if not all – cases, the eaters must know what and who they're consuming. Cannibalism is very probably a powerful means by which individuals and groups process the impact not only of killings carried out on emotional impulses, but other deaths too. In other words, it's about grieving.
[...]
"Shift these scenarios to Neanderthals, and add into the mix their far greater cognitive sophistication, and lives that revolved around using lithics. Suddenly it's not difficult to envision how skills in carefully taking apart hunted carcasses might be transposed into a grieving process that involved butchery and cannibalism as acts of intimacy, not violation."
Rebecca Wragg Sykes, Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death and Art

#like I am privy ta the fact that this happens but I can't recognize it in the moment#spacie spoinks#I make friends on accident djdjdjjdjdn#I think that talking 2 me is much like headbutting against a brick wall like it'll break eventually but it's gonna take awhile#and also your head will suffer irreparable damage#I'm soooo fucking dense dude 😭😭#also like. I can tell when ppl are nervous but I can't place why#so like when someone nervously comes up 2 me and starts fucking talking about the lore of garnarak or some shit#b/c they just wanna have a conversation#just like#this is really cool bro but I'm confused asta why you're telling me this#not malicious just genuine confusion#then like a month later I'll be like WAIT THEY WERE TRYING 2 BE MY FRIEND???

people assume luffy is naive and childish because he has a very cheerful attitude and i need those people to touch grass, eat it with a spoon and choke on reality because god forbid people have personalities
#if you're not angy angy emo edgy at the age of 19 you're still a child apparently#people need to understand that the way you act doesn't equal your maturity level#and the guy is traumatized af and he's the fucking CAPTAIN of a pirate crew#like how dense do you have to be to think luffy is easy to manipulate or doesn't know about basic human relationships#said by someone with a personality similar to luffy's and the same age#one piece#monkey d luffy

starting to question my friend's judgement because she (in an attempt to get me to buy bg3 and play it) was talking about which characters she wanted to romance and listed a bunch of names, ending with "and pretty much all of them. except for gale", and I, not knowing who any of these characters were, was like, "damn, what did gale do?" and she said "gale is just twink without a dominant bone in his body and he's constantly trying to get in your pants!"
she was romancing astarion.
#like you are my best friend and i love you#but wtf are you talking about?????? no way you're that dense???#like objectively so fucking funny#i will never listen to her judgement of men again#bg3#baldur's gate 3#gale dekarios#astarion ancunin

the "i am not throwing away my shot" "just you wait" foreshadowing in nonstop still goes SO HARD even a decade later. lin was insane for this. truly a mastermind
#is he saying 'just you wait' to the people who doubt him?#or is the narrative haunting him because he WILL end up throwing away his shot in the duel with burr?#OR is it his loved ones asking him to stop and wait for a second before jumping into impulsive decisions?#YEAH. TO ALL OF THAT.#you can criticize hamilton all you want but if you try to deny it's a lyrical masterpiece you're either dense or stupid#hamilton#musical#alexander Hamilton#nonstop#lin manuel miranda
