i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”
Mcu steve is such a very sad character to me he seems to not have any connections in his world or do anything for himself for most of his life and then essentially gives up to live in the past its so bleak
taking testosterone and estrogen in equal measure just to see how it fucks with my body while the complete swans discography plays softly in the background

Excerpt under the cut:
He was really in quite a lot of trouble at the moment, he thought, as his head snapped to the side with a heavy blow from a gauntleted backhand that left his head spinning and a metallic taste in his mouth as he hit the floor of the wagon, lined with red lyrium to keep him suppressed. At least it was warm.
It was his own fault, really. Lavellan had mentioned that Bull and the Chargers were investigating a lead for her near Perendale. Bull hadn’t said anything, they had their set schedule for seeing one another. But he’d been entirely too excited about the prospect of seeing him that he’d been headed to Perendale to surprise Bull without any of his usual precautions and hadn’t been paying attention to his surroundings either. He’d gotten snatched slightly outside of Nessum. Of course, the red lyrium weapons wielded by the Venatori blood mages hadn’t helped either. Not enough to kill, just cut and control. And he certainly appeared to be under control now. He only wondered why they hadn’t just killed him already. It would have been the far wiser option.
Unless they were waiting for someone more important. He was sure these were laetan mages. They lacked the flair of an altus’ casting. More conservative with their energy, their motions. They had to be, they didn’t have the ready access to lyrium potions that an altus did. And those these Venatori were clearly well supplied now, old habits died hard.
Of course, there was always the option that they were trying to drag his death out. He tried to curl into a ball to protect his face as the Venatori drew back a foot. Difficult, with his hands tied. He closed his eyes.
“Are you mad!” hissed another Venatori. “Our… benefactor… won’t be pleased if you beat him to death before we get to the ruin! And his face is supposed to be intact for this to work!”
“He raised Quintus from the dead!” growled the other. “And then Quintus stabbed me!”
Ah. Yes. Well. That was the problem with necromancy. It did allow one to have some very temporary allies, which was quite useful in extremity, but unfortunately it did not endear one to one’s enemies. Typically they weren’t alive long enough for that to be a concern, however.
but what if i read one of your fanfics and then went to your ao3 accounts and read all of your fanfics and left a comment on every single chapter of every single one and you got spam emails from all of my kudos and comments and it made you smile, what then? what if i brighten your day with my words like you did mine, what then???
