It's genuinely fascinating to me that men are so self centered to the point they cannot conceive any reason a woman could be interested in politics or hobbies or anything else except in order to get laid (with men, obviously)
(works only for the hobbies or politics the men themselves respect or are interested in, something that they dislike becomes dismissed as a sphere as feminine nonsense)
“You only like Elriel because you’re self inserting.”
Um…actually no.
I relate more to the Nesta.
I like Elain and Azriel together because everything about them makes sense. They understand each other and are mutually attracted to one another. Sorry I’m not about to invest my time and energy into your crackship that has no likelihood of happening.
I will stick with the ship that I know is going to be endgame. Thanks.
a/b/o, but for once the story is actually about the beta
big no progrom pack with Geralt, Eskel, Lambert, Gweld and Gardis and Aubry and Clovis
with Lambert still being the youngest of their pack, a beta (thank fuck) who they all say matches really nicely with their scent
Lambert, fresh out of presentation (still changed his body, still felt weird and intrusive and absolutely exhausting, even without it ending in a heat or rut) just goes with it - surely they know what they're talking about
so Lambert is pack. he sits with them, eats with them, trains with them and shares a den (not his bed, he needs his own bed) with them
and nobody really explains anything to him? do they just assume that he knows what to do?? have Gweld and Gardis instinctively know what to do once they presented as betas? then, why doesn't he know what to do??
why does it feel so wrong?
cue Lambert, during his pack's heat cycle, feeling more like a handmaiden than a pack member. when Gweld and Gardis care for their omegas, they're rewarded with bright smiles and soft kisses, when Lambert does he gets a 'good job'? when Gweld and Gardis care for their alphas, they're hugged and scented and when Lambert does he gets a pat on the shoulder?
do they even want him there?
it feels obvious that they do not. so after their cycle is over he walks out on them (hates that his instincts won't let him leave while they're still at it, while he still can work for them) and doesn't look back
two years later he finds himself in Tretogor of all places, chewing through a stale piece of bread that seriously has seen better days but was half off at the market, while watching a newly mated alpha omega pair making eyes at each other
and he just- he feels his pack bond breaking and he cries, silent tears running down his face while he eats a piece of bread that suddenly tastes so much worse
Meanwhile Madison is grappling with the fact that not every issues can be settled by committee
meanwhile six other witchers are going absolutely nuts over the fact that they feel the bond to their youngest, sweetest, grumpiest pack member fading away
this is how things went from their perspective:
they're litter mates, close knit and seemingly perfectly balanced: two alphas, two omegas, two betas
and then - decades later - they scent a new pack mate and it's that one guy, only surviver of his cohort, half-feral, spicey, grumpy Lambert
he doesn't really fit a beta's usually calm, softspoken demeanor, but they don't care, because he fits their pack so well, they never knew how much they needed him until they met Lambert
immune to their omegas' charm and their alphas' dominance, Lambert does what Gweld and Gardis would never be bold enough to do
he openly berates them when they're being stupid, always saying out loud what he thinks, doesn't cower in front of the alphas and neither is too soft with their omegas
but
but he never initiates anything that could be interpreted as more than just friendly, sleeps in his own bed, doesn't seem to like prolonged contact and not once has asked for anything during their heat cycle
they just assumed Lambert wasn't interested. because he's always so up front with everything else, surely he'd just say something, right?
wrong. and they realize that as soon as he vanishes right after they calm down from their latest cycle - "I thought he just stepped out for a moment, what do you mean he's gone?!"
and for two years he doesn't return to Kaer Morhen and the pack grows morw and more worried
Is any BT shipper really crashing out? I think most of us know Tommy is sticking around and are pretty chill. If he wasn’t it would make sense to have him in the previous episode.
They made sure it was Tommy that saved Bobby in the house fire. They could have easily had it be a random extra or Chimney, Hen or Buck. They very purposefully chose to have the incident happen pre-Buck and have it be Tommy.
Same with the two-parter. Those chopper scenes were expensive to shoot. They could have saved money by not having that but they chose to include Tommy. They chose to include the final scene of Tommy looking at the monitors.
If they really wanted to kill Bucktommy, they would have just made Tommy say ‘I’m doing this for Chimney’ and ended it. They chose to add ‘and for you’.
We are picking up what they are showing. It’s not some hidden messages or easter eggs that we are hunting. It’s what they are very clearly and explicitly showing.
After the whole ‘exit interview’ debacle and ‘Bobby is alive’ because of the ‘leaked’ script and Peter being on set we have learnt to separate interviews and bts stuff from the show. We know to take these things with a grain of salt.
i think people are accusing bucktommies of crashing out but we....aren't? because there's nothing to crash out about. everything you said is spot on <3
It’s ok baby, you’ve been so good for soooo long. You can have a few self destructive tendencies as a treat. Go ahead, kiss that girl, fuck that twink, be a slut. Enjoy yourself ❤️, just make sure to come back in one piece when your done so your friends don’t worry too much
Regulus is the type of person who doesn't cry. Sure, he tears up, but then thinks to himself that he looks stupid or weak AND he won't solve anything with tears so he sulks instead.
