eglantine - i wound to heal. many people may say you’re pessimistic, but you say you just have an accurate view of the world. well, alright, that may be true, but the fact that your world has been so hard doesn’t mean it will always be that way. stop sabotaging your happiness because you feel like you don’t deserve it or because, “oh well, it won’t last, anyway.” the things that you’ve gone through aren’t all you are. your relationships have been unstable and you want, more than anything, someone who will stay. honesty is very important to you, and you have no trouble dishing it out. this is helpful in that your friends know they can come to you for your truthful opinions, but not every situation requires you to be blunt. how many ao3 tabs do you have open? great, and how many of those are hurt/comfort or enemies to lovers? it’s likely that you have religious trauma, and even more likely that you’re queer. it’s almost a certainty that you have mommy and/or daddy issues.

Buzzfeed Unsolved: True Crime — Season 2  {Sentence Starters}

“I’d fake my own death.”

“Honey, we gotta jazz it.”

“Yeah, that usually does it.”

“Time to go murder, again.”

“He’s a bit like Santa Claus.”

“Okay, maybe I’m a little weird.”

“I’ve done some stupid things…”

“This just in: more skulls crushed!”

“I don’t know. It could be anybody.”

“That doesn’t even seem helpful…”

“Nice of you to come in. I’m dying.”

“And, after that, I could see ghosts.”

“You think he screamed like R2-D2?”

“Oh, I guess I’ll go fuck myself, then.”

“I don’t… I don’t know if that’s a thing?”

“If this is a preview of what’s to come…”

“Ok, we’re moving on, we’re moving on.”

“Hey, I’ve got an idea… it’s a little weird.”

“Wow… they’re really going all out for this.”

“Well, you know what I’ll do is I’ll shoot you.”

“Good morning, I’ve got your — OH MY GOD!”

“The guess what, time to die. And that’s a bummer.”

“I don’t even wanna talk about it… ‘cause it’s stupid.”

“I don’t know. I was about to talk out of my ass there.”

“Uh, maybe one of us needs to keep their sanity here.”

“Well, they don’t seem like they make good decisions.”

“I love the thought of someone getting eaten by crabs.”

“Let’s see how many of these fuckers I can make dance.”

“Turns out I was wrong, The branch broke and I just fell…”

“Why don’t you bury them, asshole? Stop calling me, I’m busy!”

“Sometimes, even the most beautiful places hold the darkest secrets.”

“Anytime you think something’s majestic, just imagine if it was 10x bigger.”

“So, you’re wasting my time…. You’re wasting everybody’s time right now.”

“I’ve run the permutations through my little computer and all of them say you’re fucked.”

“I think if you’re going to kill a bunch of people, you might as well have some fun with it.”

“Well, then maybe I’ll just spend my whole life trying to avoid dead bodies, how about that?”

“You said that with a completely dead face, so I can never tell when you’re being serious…”

The more I think about Gaius' behavior in canon, the more I believe he just,,,has reverse trust issues? He may not rely on other Shepherds too much but he does clearly trust them to a degree or else he just wouldn't stay around, but we've seen him act suspicious on purpose so Chrom doesn't trust him ( even if doesn't work but my point stands ) and he isn't above lying to get people to go away and leave him alone ( as seen with Nowi ), almost like he's afraid of letting people in, like he's worried about people putting their trust in him. Which...in all honesty, does make sense? Considering he tells Robin that, at some point, he used to just not care if he died, but if people trust him then he has no choice but to keep moving forward because he'd rather do anything than let them down. The same also applies in the opposite way where, if people trust and depend on him but then they get hurt, that's his fault. He just can't gurantee his safety or theirs, but he's fine with trusting others somewhat because even if something goes wrong and he does get hurt on their watch, he wouldn't even care, because his own life means nothing to him.

Should he develop romantic feelings for someone, that mindset does change a bit and he plays it a lot more careful than he would otherwise because now he has a purpose, but there's still some kind of trust imbalance even then. He's willing to trust his partners, but it's been ingrained in his head since he was a kid that people like him can't be trusted, and it takes a little while before that habit breaks even with people he's close with.

[klptmnia]

no bc you know what. gaius’ three houses verse specifically is hilarious to me because, yeah, the gods are obviously a big deal in awakening and there’s plenty of religious people, but people seem like they're even MORE religious in fodlan, and if gaius is out here spewing these kinds of clown comments at the monastary??

i just know so many nuns hate him

[klptmnia]

well. i’m eight months late but i finally got around to this!!

gaius comes equipped with locktouch when he’s first recruited, that’s just a thief thing. i don’t need to explain that the thief can obviously pick locks. however, given the backstory i gave him, there’s no way he wouldn’t have more right from the get-go. those select few are lethality, vantage, pass, and less expectedly, focus. over the course of the game, more specifically, in the second half, lucky seven comes into play as well.

lethality — allows the user to instantly kill a selected enemy unit

self-explanatory; whether he likes it or not, and despite not being an actual assassin, gaius is a skilled killer. even without taking his experience as a part-time assassin into account, he learned from chief which parts of the body made someone bleed out fastest. if the situation calls for it, he knows exactly what to do and where to strike.

vantage — when the user's HP is ≤50%, they will always be able to attack first during the enemy's turn

since the game's inheritance system passes skills down to the second generation, i refuse to believe first gens didn’t learn skills in a similar way. hence, the skill vantage. while his father perfected it by letting enemies underestimate him before striking them down when they least expected it, gaius' version isn’t exactly a skill as much as it is a habit. it’s not strategy-based, it’s more about sheer desperation. when he's that close to death, there's no planning involved, he simply attacks any enemy that gets too close before they ever get the chance to do the same.

lucky seven – increases hit rate and avoid by +20 until the 7th turn / pass — user can pass through tiles occupied by enemy units

these two especially are a package deal in the later half of the game's events. while he could easily slip through enemy lines undetected and silently take people out before joining the shepherds, he only perfected that skill even more so afterwards, once he made the upgrade from thief to trickster.

focus — critical +10 when no allies are within a 3 tile radius

much like vantage, focus is another “inherited” skill, this time from his mother's side. when she was alive, she preferred healing over combat, but that didn't mean she couldn't hold her own. when by herself, there were few distractions, and it made it easier to concentrate on attacking in the most efficient way, and gaius picked up that habit from her. admittedly, she used magic and he doesn't ( not offensively, anyway ) but it works about the same.

all in all, it just means he works best when he’s alone and does his best work right when the fighting first starts, especially before enemies even know he’s there, as one would expect. you’d think that this particular set of skills would make him a great fit for the assassin class instead, but 1) he already hates doing that sort of thing, he doesn’t want to flaunt that around, and 2) since he charges in alone quite often, getting hurt and having no backup is going to happen at some point, he’s accepted that. so, knowing how to heal himself if things go wrong + having the pass skill knowing how to slip through enemy lines while retreating is very convenient. being a trickster doesn’t mean he’s any less of a force to be reckoned with, it just means he’s careful and cautious enough to keep himself alive as long as possible. he may not care much for his own life, but by that point, he knows he has people that do care. as long as it’s for the sake of someone else, he’ll do everything he can to keep himself alive.

what soft romance cliché are you?

/oh./ the italicized oh. often seen in romance novels and fanfics. when a character looks at someone, wondering why their chest tightens when they're near, why their heart beats quicken at the slightest touches, why they lose their breathe at the sight of them and suddenly realization dawns on them— oh. they've been in love for a long time now. you are soft and quiet, probably the most overlooked. though when you love, you fall deeply. i'm sure you have a lot of anxieties when it comes to love, and you're more inclined to fall in love with a longtime friend than a stranger. though, your love is pure. and maybe if you have someone in mind, this is your sign to tell them.

@lattehearted from here.

gaius' guire's heart hasn't ached this bad in a long time. he's lost track of how long it's been since he left the shepherds behind. there were no words for how thrilled he was to run into those three—odin, laslow, and... selena, he believed they called themselves now—again. but it wasn't enough. there was no one to blame but himself, of course; no one had forced him to show up in nohr. but every once in a while, something reminds him of home, and regret begins to trickle in.

case in point: corrin reminds him so much of robin.

there's no telling what it actually is about her that makes his chest twist in knots. maybe it's her kind eyes, or her optimism, or her eagerness to learn, he doesn't know. but what he does know is that if he spends too long here, nostalgia is going to eat away at him until there's nothing left, he should make this visit quick, he should—

...well, now she's got him backed into a corner. he can't turn down sweets, now can he? he could never say no to robin either.

" 'course it's a good something. " he finally replies, hoping his hesitance wasn't as obvious as he thought it was. " an especially good something if you plan to spoil me with dessert every time i stop by. might just have to visit more often. you're not gonna get bored of me, right? " it's a tease, evident by his smirk. that, at least, is entirely because of her. he knows loneliness when he sees it, and her smile doesn't hide it as much as she probably thinks it does. it's the least he could do. besides, visiting corrin is sure to make elise happy too, no?
