Wdym you hate Stratt? Without her you don’t get a story

[its-too-many-fandoms]

Omg I love this piece. Grace the hanging man, content with his life but cannot avoid the changes coming; the ship his noose, the rope that binds him to his fate; the blood red stars beside him, Olesya and Yáo the angels haunting him in the background. Eva Stratt, the one who holds it all on her back, the world is literally on her shoulders, the Petrova line on her neck. She will not falter, cannot afford to move, and yet still she glares at us. Eva challenges us, daring us to ask if we could do better, if we could hold her burden for even a fraction of the time.

Eve, the mother of sin, who held the world in her hands and was cursed for not knowing.

Eva, director of the task force, who now holds the world, and still must curse man to save it.

In the end, it always falls on a woman. I could never hate you Eva Stratt

the thing is, im always interested in The Paperwork. whenever The Characters moan and groan about The Paperwork and whenever it's left unspecified what The Paperwork entails i go aw... The Paperwork... u dont deserve this attitude, The Paperwork... im sure you're very interesting and important... this is because i like my job at The Paperwork factory and because i like homework and it's also because The Characters often hold positions of power attained through superhuman abilities and enforced with violence and i know that The Paperwork is there, aspirationally, to document their actions and protect people. from institutional neglect and from The Characters. when The Characters ignore The Paperwork to fuck each other on The Desk i think less of them for it. i do.

[miss-oranje]

i made this post offhandedly, but resentment/dismissal of The Paperwork is a trope from procedural fiction and commercial sff that is really really common in fanworks bc it makes for an easy shorthand when u don't want to research or invent the details of a job, and i do seriously want to ask everyone to get skeptical of it. it functions as part of a broader narrative type of the ultra-talented Maverick, usually law enforcement or pseudo law enforcement (e.g. a monster hunter, a status-quo-enforcing time traveler, a man in black, a moral mercenary, etc.), whose ability to police the boundaries of Civilization ("normal," defined by hegemony, Flawed But Worth Preserving!) and protect a homogenous Public (white, heteronormative, bourgeois, documented, "law-abiding," "innocent," helpless!!) is limited not by his energy or ability, but by forces (small-minded, foolish, persnickety, overcautious, sexless, dull, effeminate!!!) of Overhead, from whence comes... The Paperwork.

The Paperwork might be generated by administrators, journalists, lawyers, judges, civilian oversight committees, the village elders or the intergalactic legislature, depending on the story. and who benefits from us telling each other stories that belittle & villainize those professions while lionizing The Maverick? "if only The Maverick were given unlimited resources, unlimited access, unlimited privacy in his operations, and unlimited use of excessive force, he would be able to protect The Public (and find love! maybe on The Desk)." you see it, right? this is how copaganda will get in your head.

canonically a huge part of why these men haven't killed themselves is bc they have alternating ER shifts and they don't want to burden each other like that. excellent old man yaoi material

I see a lot of nobles out here who think "Well I have a 10,000 square foot castle, surely that's enough space for a knight." WRONG. Knights are WORKING BREEDS, they need to go on regular quests to prove their fealty and come home horribly wounded. I have seen SO MANY adopted knights DESPONDENT because their liege keeps them cooped up in a castle and won't let them go on quests. If you want an armored warrior who will be happy in your castle you need to get a castellan. They're closely related to the knight breed but adapted to the castle environment.

[hey-its-sybarite]

Cooping them up too long is actually how you end up with 60 to 70 thousand dead geese when they finally get out again.

PEASANTS! WE'RE HANDLING THIS!

[justslightlyconfused]

chat we literally got fucking YARPEN giving jask the biggest hug and giving the bard the SOFTEST eyes and now yarpen is just (ง •̀_•́)ง anytime anyone even LOOKS at the bard the wrong way

i’ll never be over every character in this show on the jump shifting from “how tf does this witcher put up w/ this guy???” to “hey geralt this is /our/ bard now, and i’ll be taking him on alternating weekends.”

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

"and then I heard your screams... and sparks be damned" WHERE THE FUCK AM I

[justslightlyconfused]

you’re…you’re telling me that we got actual on screen canon content of Jaskier getting absolutely fucking walloped to the point where he thought it was all over for him and the FIRST THING he says when Geralt comes to get him is a desperate, profuse “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. Just leave, find Ciri.” ???????

How come House never got into a little submarine and fought the virus from inside the body? They say he's a good doctor?

The absolute power move of Dropout changing their price (by a single dollar) for new and returning subscribers and not the folks already paying for the service???

And the fact that they made the announcement with enough time for people to subscribe at the current price before the increase takes affect if they wanted???

Sam you’re the only sorta rich boy I respect

That's a side quest. You're supposed to go find him.

[audhdspacewizard]

Or at least find his environmental storytelling skeleton along with a unique weapon or piece of armor.

[littlecofiegirl]

This. Imagine the face of the guy when you return with a charred skull and put it on the bar. "Found him."

"What else did you hear?"

[darrenpillowscriss]

Dropout: Hey guys, this sucks but we really need to increase prices just a lil bit. Things are expensive. It’s gonna be an extra $1 a month, ok? Sorry about that. BUT- only for new subscribers. We’re not gonna charge more if you’re already subscribed, that’d just be mean. Here, our CEO made a video for you.

Everyone else: Yeah we’re bumping prices up $50. Yeah for everyone. No you still have to watch ads.
