Hello all! Your sarcastic ray of sunshine has arrived. | I post random stuff that includes art, fandom things, and my own strange musings. | Second tumblr: (fanfic stuff) is space-blue-spirit

[i-will-write]

I don't have the mental space or energy for writing, but the ideas are percolating and one day they will bubble over and spill out on the paper and then you'll all see!!

[thedaniverse]

I am a little high but what if people proposed with beautiful, intricate knives. Ladies would gather around the table and be like “guess what finally happened!!” And pull this beautiful, intricate dagger out of her purse and all the other ladies would gasp and congratulate her

[thedaniverse]

Me: I’m a little high but –

Y'all rushing to that reblog button:

[chuckyzoopa]

It’s an awesome idea tho

[weareoracle]

Because I have a tag for pretty weaponry, some knives I’d accept as proposals follow:

[lianabrooks]

I said yes! 

(but, actually, hubby bought me a dive knife when we got married so this works…)

[aelin-lovelace]

I can 100% get behind this as a new tradition.

[honeybeejohn]

Ok but this is amazing becuase knives are dangerous and you can use them to hurt other people but when someone proposes with one it’s symbolic like “yes I love you and trust you so much I’m asking you a very vulnerable question with something you could hurt me with but I know you won’t”

@lady-redshield-writes this seems up your alley

[redshield-writes]

This isn’t just up my alley, it’s traveled all the way down the alley, through my front door, and is sitting on my couch. I love this so much.

@cerothenull this is it, the post that started it all

[niuniente]

I gave my best friend a white-golden sword as a wedding gift and let me tell you, swords make awesome wedding gifts.

[palatablepain]

“This is the knife our new clan will use to defend itself.”

“So, I don’t need to ask my father’s permission anymore. He can see from the knife that Reginald is BOTH rich AND vicious.”

“He gave me this knife as proof of his love and affection. Because it will save my life, unlike a slimy ring.”

“Knives are my love language.”

“My married kitchen starts HERE.”

“Oh baby, just think, this is the knife we’re going to use to slaughter pigs and cut carrots for the rest of our lives! And don’t forget spearing the Vikings.”

“You should see my babe with her new knife. Dude, she is righteous. Our kids are NEVER going to be shanghaighed by the British.”

dear mom

when I was in fifth grade we had to write a short poem that included something we believed in.

i believe that actions speak louder than words.

i wrote that on my paper.

you said you loved me

and yet you treated me any other way

you said you’d always be there for me

but you raised me to be independent and turned me away when i came to you for help

i called you mother

but i took care of you and my siblings

you called me daughter

but you treated me like a friend, a therapist, a caregiver

no one could hurt me in the same way you did. in the same way you can

actions speak louder than words

One day he is going to carve a human being and they will be given the gift of life. Either by his own powers or by a deity that wants to reward his mastercraft or punish his hubris

IT LIGHTS UP????!!???!?

No wonder Ezran's council consists of Opeli, Soren, Corvus and Barius. Those are the people that got him out of Katolis in s3 😍

[imminent-danger-came]

hi. mentally ill about soren and claudia. the siblings in tdp all make me insane but soren and claudia are so. viren's daughter claudia and her brother soren (he doesn't like soren). the fact that at first claudia seems like the nice one but soren questions when he's doing the wrong thing and claudia digs herself deeper every chance she gets. that one scene where to protect ezran (?) (it's been a while since i watched this bit) he threatens claudia and she just looks so heartbroken and determined. they both do. because they still do care so so much about each other, it's just that they've taken such different paths and neither of them is willing to bend, not even for the other. <- not normal

OMG A TDP ASK FOR ME??????????????

Who doesn't love Soren and Claudia.

Like, Soren was willing to kill his father in the name of what was right, and Claudia was willing to bring her father back from the dead ignoring what was right ("I did things...I never imagined I would be able to do"). Claudia in s2 wants to "use [her] words not [her] muscles" but when it comes down to it, she's always going to use the strength dark magic gives her to get what she wants, and Soren has since learned that forgiveness and friendship are powerful things. Claudia has only distanced herself from the personhood of the creatures/people around her further and further (which is part of the danger of dark magic), while Soren has only become more and more aware of it.

Soren would jump headfirst into the sea in heavy armor to save an innocent baitling, whereas Claudia would try and squeeze her former friends to death for the sake of her goal. They both have a completely different understanding of the value of life, at all different levels, with Viren learning that value later:

And I think Soren learning to value life more and more over the course of his arc 1 er, arc, only adds to the fact that he's willing to kill his father at the end of s3.

Had Soren been down in the ocean with the rest of the gang in 5x09, I think he wouldn't have hesitated in killing Claudia either, despite how much he cares about her.

While Claudia's followed the dark path of her father ("Daddy look! I'm following in your footsteps!") Soren's been trying to walk a different path. To follow Ezran and his efforts for a brighter future.

I just think they're neat!

(For context, these scenes take place right after one another. Soren staying on the surface to look after their creature friends VS Claudia who sinks bellow to the ocean floor using the corpse of a pentapus)

Bonus "My eyes for truth" and seeing personhood comp:

[raayllum]

3x05 / 3x09

[captaindusk]

ok so viren totally told Claudia about him saving soren from dying with the help of dark magic

which works so so well with her character. she's not afraid of dark magic, she loves dark magic. everyone says that dark magic is scary, disgusting and impure, but how can she feel that way, if it's something that saved her brother's life? her brother that she loves so much.

in her eyes dark magic is something beautiful.

(and alone those lines viren could've totally told her that he "did something that had to be done" which also solidified her trust in him)

anyway just gonna ugly-cry for a while now

Soren and Claudia

[theredhairedmonkey]

How it started:

How it's going:

To clarify, we see these two go from Soren dismissing Callum out of hand as a talentless kid who will just get in the way, to having this silent rapport where (1) Soren knows that Callum is getting up to fight Elmer for him, (2) Soren silently tells him "no" but not in a dismissive way (less "you're just a kid" and more "don't worry about me, I got this"), and (3) Callum actually listens and lets Soren do his thing.

Just great writing all around!!
