Your Tsundere!Med post made me think of what if Medivh notices just how popular Khadgar is?
On one hand, Medivh’s proud of him. Khadgar’s come a long way from being that awkward punk that arrived on his doorstep so many years ago. Khadgar went from being tossed to Medivh to get rid of him to leading that same city.
Medivh notices how Khadgar behaves around most other people. He’s funny and charming and even Medivh finds himself a little attracted to that. It’s only when Khadgar cracks some jokes he’s used himself that Medivh realizes: “Oh, he’s acting like me...” Flattery aside, it worries him, just how much is Khadgar acting and what’s he really feeling.
There’s also Khadgar’s popularity. He is well liked. Getting visits from champions and old friends, getting gifts and care packages, and being fretted over and admired. Medivh feels jealous, not of Khadgar, but how he looks at his champions. There’s a certain glimmer in his eye, his tone becomes more genuine.
It’s not practical getting jealous over Khadgar sharing that side of himself. It’s downright childish! But a darker part of Medivh feels that side of Khadgar is his.
Medivh’s a little cold to Khadgar’s champion at first, he even becomes a little colder to Khadgar. He’s like a cat that’s been introduced to something new. Medivh doesn’t like it. Khadgar is urging them to get along because he cares about them both deeply.
Moroes meanwhile is watching this shitshow in the background while borrowing the champion’s Darkmoon Faire popcorn toy. He’ll have words with Medivh later, he’s being a brat like his mother. But for now, it’s a trainwreck that’s entertaining to watch.
@ladymischievous
Now THIS is what I’m talking about. Possessive Med is my fav. (and maybe just a little bordering on creepy..)
And he notices things. Medivh is perceptive. He’s always talking about his champions.. They’re always THERE. And he feels..almost like a third wheel when with them because he’s missed a lot lbr. It’s been how many years?
He’s kind of on the out. He knows Khadgar but he doesn’t. On both sides they’re both learning who they other is now. They’ve both been through much and it changes you.
They’re the same…but different.
Khadgar’s attention used to be solely on him. That blind sort of hero worship. And you know some part of Med loved that. He’s as starved for love as Khadgar is.
It’s there still but..not. Khadgar is older. he can stand on his own two feet.
He doesn’t need him anymore.
And that..scares him?
He didn’t contact Khadgar after being resurrected for several reasons. First it was he thought he was dead on the other side of the dark portal so there’s that but you know he heard about it when he returned, alive and well.
But he didn’t go to him. Khadgar was better off without him surely. After everything he’d done to him? he needs to learn how to stand on his own two feet.
but now that he’s seeing the results of that..he’s not sure he likes the fact that it means sharing him.
To be fair Khadgar is quite honestly the only person Med has left. All his friends and family are dead.
And they always had a special connection (gay). An understanding that he’d never had with anyone else. (and lbr as much as he’d scoff he adores Khadgar as much as Khadgar adores him)
And oh..he seems so close to these champions. The softer, genuine way he speaks to them, the way he lights up when he sees them, a clear history between them (i dont necessarily mean romantic) that he knows nothing about, inside jokes he doesn’t get.
He’s an absolute third wheel when they’re around. (in his mind)
Khadgar goes to them for help. Emotional support even. Why not HIM? Okay he knows why but…
I’m fucking dying at the thought of someone being like “ay khadgar where’s your special pal.” and medivh who’s perched on his shoulder in raven form (he’s being low key okay) just PUFFS THE FUCK UP
SPECIAL PAL? What does THAT mean???? And he’ll mock him for it but he’s deeply disgruntled.
And presumably they never acted on romantic/sexual impulses back then (although the feelings were quite clearly there and still are) and he’s like woah wait a fucking second…he REALLY doesn’t like this.
And he’s so..petty. Like his mother. Like who do these people think they are? They really think they know him? They don’t know him like he does. Right?
And it’s really a deep underlying fear that Khadgar doesn’t need or want him anymore. And that’s his…person. And they think they can take his place? Hmph. Doubtful..right?
It comes out as him being downright passive aggressive towards both Khadgar and the champion/s. (because he’s not about to sit khadgar down and talk about his feelings)
And for all narcissistic tendencies he’s deeply insecure in this. Because he doesn’t know where they stand right now anyway.
And he’s aware it’s childish. It’s a little creepy really how much he wants to keep Khadgar all to himself. Although he’d be satisfied with just knowing Khadgar wants him there.
He’s delighted come BFA when Khadgar comes to Karazhan. (To Him) It’s just them again. How it should be. With only the occasional visitor/visiting champion.
And they fall back into their rhythm but it’s still bothering him. And maybe he wants him to be his in ways that decidedly aren’t innocent. And it’s much harder to ignore now that there really isn’t anything standing in the way besides the uncertainty it’s reciprocated.
And maybe he’d be satisfied if claimed him the most intimate way one can. There’s his confirmation he’s special to him. There’s his assurance Khadgar is still his.
Alas, he’d rather not send Khadgar running in the other direction because he tried to get in his pants. (it wouldn’t but he doesn’t know that)
And in quite possibly the most primal petty way he hates the thought of someone touching his Khadgar. Someone seeing him like that, at his most vulnerable. He doesn’t like that at all. Nope.
He’d know how to take care of him. They wouldn’t.
And lbr Khadgar is having similar concerns. They’re both figuring out where they stand now.
Feelings are complicated :/
(hmm giving me ideas for that one collar fic..)
I feel so bad for Moroes tbh. But you know he finds it hilarious. If it gets too out of hand he’ll step in surely but oh..is it fun to watch Med get taken down a few pegs.
I’d feel bad for him if he wasn’t such a bitch ;)
\also I dont know why I made this but it wouldn’t get out of my head
Said anon, but there's no anon option. .3.;;; So yeah. I think you're really cool. I enjoy reading your metas and your art is always a treat. In general though, you seems to be a sweet person. I know we don't chat much but I'm glad I follow your blog. Keep doing your best!
ok so the ask meme said i couldn’t reply but imma make an exception for this
HEYA DUDE!!! It’s been forever!!! i’m so glad you still follow me and enjoy my blog, even now. it was always super fun talking with you, and i wish we could talk more, but that’s ok! i’m glad you’re still here!!
@ladymischievous Norrington seems like a genuinely sweet guy I agree. I just hate that one quest in particular cuz I suck at it ;) it seems off to me though and I’m not just saying that because I suck lmfao.
I LOVE Brannon he’s such an anxious disaster. I want to protect him and seeing him kind of gain confidence at the end was great. I really wish you saw him again during the Stormsong quests? Maybe we’ll see more of him in the future now that we killed Lord Stormsong
my favorite quests at the estate are definitely these ones they make me smile and laugh EVERY TIME
@walkingdisasterofamage and @oroontheheels hopefully I’ll get that fic out one day because it’s been nagging at me for ages. ;)
sometimes i laugh b/c i feel like an almost disproportionate amount of my friends are writers
and that’s not a bad thing. i just think it’s kinda great that so many of my friends are really amazing writers and i’m also not entirely sure how that happened

@scealerat BIG MOOD. I’ve fallen in love with him alarmingly quickly
@shadowphoenixrider @Jaina Proudmoore stop making me cry like a big baby. (she’s not gonna is she) and M8 Stormsong has become my most hated fight because NO ONE RUNS INTO THE ORBS WHEN THEY GET MINDBENDED. I’ll admit I made that mistake the first time I played through that dungeon but man once someone told me I got it right off the bat
explaining mechanics to group members who refuse to listen sometimes feels like this. im nice about it tho. externally at least askdghfh
@adariall just yesterday I was like I saw people getting picked up by gryphons and i was like wait a minute..*hover over whistle* sHIT
i was thrilled but wish I would have noticed when i started playing the expansion...since I’m already at max and did a large chunk of the questlines. Oh well still plenty of content to do and I look at it as I just got to enjoy the beautiful graphics, collect mats, etc and such~
@ladymischievous yeah!!! the flight master whistle Khadgar gave you in Legion works on Kul’tiras and Zandalar too. It’ll take you to the nearest flight master instantly rip
@korvas-bloodthorn thank you for the birthday wishes <3
@captain-narava-felidae-riggs the heroics I did so far (waycrest manor and shrine of the storm) were pretty easy if you know the mechanics (and the rest of the group do too which I think I got lucky both times through group finder because they all did..unlike many of the groups I was in on normal)
