wwx is the worst and I love him so much

MDZS, Fire Emblem, Homestuck, and others. Random hyperbolic feels about Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura.

I'm not really shipping anything in Dragaera aside from vaguely rooting for a couple of canon ships but on this reread I am finding myself invested in Kragar/Vlad for some reason.

I think Wei Wuxian would be so openly offended by the concept of Jin Zixuan being Jiang Cheng’s sworn brother, even on a hypothetical level. Imagine if one night Huaisang, set loose after three jars of wine, suddenly disclosed that there was a rumour back in the day that they were gonna take a vow to each other in brotherhood as well and Jiang Cheng— who has never once heard of this— sobers up at the speed of light the moment Wei Wuxian sets his cup down and whispers a very ominous excuse me.

Jiang Cheng selfishly saving WWX from the Wens instead of prioritizing his filial duty or his very much alive sister, and then WWX turning around and getting said sister widowed then killed (while she loudly begs him to stop) and then JC spending 13 years blaming himself because this very much all did happen because JC saved WWX and if JC had let the Wens catch WWX none of this would've happened.

And unfortunately (because he's the stupidest person alive and because he's so used to associating love with hurting and because it's fair to hurt) he still loves WWX.

My least favorite part of visiting museums, which is something I really like, is that the information can be factually wrong (inaccurate is bad enough. keep my friends in your thoughts I'm always ranting about it). It's especially galling because a lot of museums are fairly progressive, interrogate and problematize norms or realities, make efforts to represent diversity, pick political topics that they talk of as political, etc. They're trying to do good things, important things, with little means! (if they had more means/time I do believe there would be fewer mistakes and maybe even less inaccurate to the point of being mistaking stuff)

I know any one thing, even big thing, can be wrong, because the factual chronology at the beginning of one of the biggest of the biggest expositions in one of our biggest national museums contained a factual mistake about which African country was the first to get its independence.

And like! I don't know shit about shit! I'm going to be able to tell "yeah no that's wrong" only a ridiculously small portion of the time! Most of the time I won't know when there's a mistake! I'm going to be basing my thoughts on things that are not true and I'm going to misinform people when I talk about the topic later! That's so dangerous and it's so infuriating and wrong on an intellectual level! It's a betrayal of trust! I hate it! I hate it!!!!

Age-gap discourse with "really one thousand years old" thrown in in Dragaera, but actually I'm thinking about the reverse.

"you're dating a 35yo, you sick fuck!!"

"in Easterner years that's 800! by Easterner standards he's older than me!"

"and what was your Easterner-standards-800yo-bf doing during the Interregnum? That's right, nothing, because he wasn't born yet."

"No she's right, 35 is a grown adult for Easterners. They age super differently. My Easterner girlfriend is 17 and that's fine!"

"That's like dating a 100 year old, what is wrong with you."

"Did you hear the rumor about Kiera being lovers with that Easterner Jhereg? Rumor has it they've been together for years."

"Isn't he like. 40?"

"No, he's 20 at most. If they've been together for years that's not right of Kiera."

"Isn't she like really young too?"

"Not that young."

"I'm gonna be real, these numbers don't mean anything to me. You guys are arguing about whether it's more okay to date a 40yo than a 20yo, by the Orb."

"And this is why you should never ask a Dzur the last battle she lost, a Jhereg what they for work, and an Easterner their age."

"or you could just not date Easterners. which feels more than a little like bestiality."

"yeah, I know an Easterner who said the same thing about dating humans."

"If it's good enough for the Empress..."

"...do you want to get smote? is that what you want? can you shut up until we're no longer around?"

playing that fun game I call "was this image made by the alt-right or is it an illustration for a RPG book (which happens to embody alt-right ideology)*"

(the pic about the knight in faceless armor protecting the frail light-skinned maiden with a shield from the attacks and the glances of the populace. it's got the knight imagery; the knight is faceless; the knight is protecting white womanhood; the maiden is depicted with cleavage that only the knight gets to look at...)

*bc a lot of depictions there hinge on ideas that are cohesive with alt-right depictions and ideologies

it's a fun hyperbolic reaction image! it's also er. intrinsically suspicious af. (I fully expect to learn at some point it's from Warhammer or sth, and tongue-in-cheek/at-least-somewhat-aware from the artists/editors)

Actually Dragaera would probably be a very good fandom for Yuletide if you don't want canon-like things.

If, say, you wanted "Aliera backstory, but not the Paarfi version of it, feel free to make the tone as different from Vlad's voice as you want," or "Empress Zerika and the intrigues of her court" or "Sethra Lavode picks up gardening", those would be good prompts for Yuletide.

("Five Times Kiera the Thief met the Leverage crew" would also be an amazing prompt but Yuletide doesn't do crossovers)

Proxy sex exchange thoughts:

- MDZS (zhanchengxian, chengningxian... chengqingxian?)

- DIE (ash/sol/isa. the world always needs more ash and isa hatefucking about sol!!)

- Naruto (narusasusaku; this one is special and nice because narusaku is a very strong relationship in its own right for all that it's focused on Sasuke and exists because of him. but the thought of narusaku sexy times fic is maybe not grief-fuelled or toxic-fuelled enough for me)

Zale/Garl/Valere Sea of Stars doesn't work for me as Explicit.

- ooooooh what about Micaiah/Sothe/Pelleas. I mean you'd need to figure out a situation where Sothe and Pelleas are proxyfucking about Micaiah (she would be entirely amenable and is always around) but that sounds like a Problem For The Writer, maybe she's been cursed in a coma or something, because I am there for the dynamic.

- nine worlds pali/hr/kip. I am considering. I do think both Pali and Kip would nnnnnot like this. non con fuck or die type thing. dunno how I feel.

- what about *squints* hey Milla/Alvin/Jude can you arrange yourself into this? hm. probably not and probably doesn't work Explicit for me either.

[runespoor7]

You'd think I'd be able to think of a bigger number of viable ships. But alas I do not want to read about Erika and Ephraim getting it on while thinking about Lyon, or about Ingrid in an explicit fic (I don't think. Though I am very motivated by Felix/Ingrid Dimitri-and-Glenn focused hate sex! but as a plot element, not as the main focus in itself)

Otoh Damien/William/Angela (Magical Diary) would make no-one happy but meeeeee and it would be something. :3 worst people in the world pulling each other's hair because of a golden boy whose heart they stomped on. no one being over anyone else in this scenario. Poor William's type being Awful People Who Are Pretty And Manipulative.

[runespoor7]

I remember now, it's in Batfandom that I dig and did those things a lot! Tim/Cass banging about dead Steph, Cass inhabiting Steph's habits and body language so she still feels her around (I once wrote a fic where Cass was furious at Tim because Tim tried to resurrect Superboy, and not Steph, and the thought still makes me very happy). Babs/Bruce playing sexy mind games over Dick, or Dick being attracted to one of them because he's reminded of the other (of course, always). Jason valiantly taking his Bruce issues out on the next warm body and it that means Tim then Tim shall be the Bruce stand-in. Slade playing Bruce for Dick (remember that fic where Slade and Roy fucked about Dick, too?). I did write Dick/Cass about dead Bruce (Bruce being dead just brings it out of people). I'm pretty sure there's Dick/Tim somewhere about Tim being Batgirl for Dick, but that's just never been my ship at all so I wouldn't swear on it either.

Characterisation about ten to fifteen years out of date easy, but those were the days. So much identity porn.

Like 16 books and 40-odd years into this fantasy series the author mentions offhand that oh yeah this setting has had same-sex marriage the whole time. And it doesn't even feel like a retcon because of how little this series overall has cared about sex or romance anyway, aside, of course, from the prominent Miserable Heterosexual Divorce

Did non-French politicians decide that if their national teams can't beat France at football they'll personally try to beat France at racism?

Replaying Hollow Knight like

Mantis Lords: ah yes a beautifully designed boss combat. the combat to which every other boss battle in videogames is measured. Such clarity! Such rigor! Such grace and beauty in the imperturbable lines of its choreography! Yes. Let us dance. Let the challenge begin, let the music swell, let me match step by step the rhythm of the battle you draw. I will learn the dance and once learned any damage I incur will be my own fault because I saw it coming and sought to break the beautiful harmony of the dance.

These horrific creatures that I never learned how to deal with without heavy losses:

I have never played a video game in my life and video games were designed by the devil. Fuck fuck fuck fuckity fuck there are two of them in this room fuuuuuck get out get out get out while you still have a HP aaaaaaaaah

two people having sex while a third person (not present) is in one way or another a major focus of the sex they are having is like crack to me and is the reason why in my yaoi shipping adventures i always want the two spokes of the love triangle to hook up

[alessandriana]

In the tags, @tavina-writes mentioned there is a soon-upcoming exchange dedicated to this very topic!
