Cannot Watch The New Episodes Til Tomorrow Here’s A Doodle Of Her 😔

hhh women

AU concept where Nanami is a knight and Gojo is royal but like it’s deeper than that

So the Gojo Kingdom had a prophecy of a princess with snow-white hair and glowing blue eyes who would be the next Six Eyes and Infinity user, but uh oh Satoru was born instead of a princess, so his parents parade him around as one and call him Satori. Nobody sees his face behind his veil (that part of the design mimicking his blindfold). “Princess Satori” was messing around with one of the knights on duty one night and got him to break character by revealing that there is no princess and it’s been a prince this whole time. That knight was Knight Lieutenant Nanami, who Gojo then requests to have as his personal guard

Blah blah blah they fall in love and they get married (they allow this to happen to keep selling the idea that Satoru’s a woman lmao) but on their wedding day, the exiled king of the Zen’in Kingdom, Toji Fushiguro (DON’T ASK HOW THAT BUM BECAME KING 😭💀), sneaks in and kills the king and queen, along with Gojo (so we moved the whole Toji thing to when everyone was a little older because it made sense in this plot). Gojo’s actually alive bc he revives himself with RCT, but Nanami doesn’t know that. And now that the king and queen are dead, and so is Satoru, this leaves Nanami to immediately become the king of the Gojo Kingdom. Eventually, after hiding out for a month and letting Toji think he’s truly gone, Gojo goes out and decimates the guy, comes back to the kingdom, and reveals that he’s been alive this whole time while also revealing that there was never a Princess Satori and that it’s been Prince (now King) Satoru the whole time.

Gojo and Nanami go and adopt Megumi and Tsumiki from the Zen’in Kingdom (as both an act of peace between the kingdoms and also to get these kids outta this place where they’re hated) and then have a redo of their wedding on a very small scale on this private beach that only a few people know about

So the bottom drawing is Nanami after he’s been king for a while and I thought it would be silly to give him haha funny mustache teehee because y’know that’s what medieval fantasy kings feel like to me :) there’s a lot more stuff that I left out but that’s the general gist of it all so far 😁

I need someone to draw this:

Odysseus, covered in blood, ragged and looks like death warmed over: *wearing a sash that says “most valid crashout” across it with Hermes/Athena bestowing a pageant crown upon him*

Optional skewered Poseidon in the background

Remember what they took from us

yes there's a lot of things to criticize about Star Wars but one thing i will always love it for is being so unabashedly tragic

i'm sure it's been said before, but one of the main things i think powers the SW fandom (fics in particular) is the (in)evitability of it all

time travel fix-its are one of the most popular sub-categories of fics that i've seen (for the prequels at least) but i see it much more rarely in other fandoms. i know each fandom has their own niches that they dig into but star wars fic writers took one look at this decades long story of people who were doomed from the start and said 'not in my house bitch'

and i'm never tired of it, because there's so many places where just one different action could have changed the story entirely, but didn't

was it over the moment Palpatine succeeded in feeding Anakin's fears and his distrust toward the Jedi? the moment the Sith gained control of the senate? what about when the war started, when the Jedi were made generals of men designed to be their executioners? what about when Dooku left the order? when Qui-Gon Jinn died, leaving barely-knighted Obi Wan Kenobi to raise a child he had no idea how to care for? when the Jedi massacred the Mandalorians at Galidraan, leaving Jango Fett primed (hah) for revenge? when Palpatine, and thus the Sith, first gained influence? when the Jedi were tied to the Republic, all the way back at the Ruusan Reformation?

there are so many little moments that turn into this huge web of cause and effect when you take a step back. and in canon, these characters are dooming themselves while we watch, but what reason do they have to do anything different? they don't know they're in a tragedy - its dramatic irony at its goddamn finest

but there's this thing about decisions: for it to be a choice, there has to be another option. and our heroes make their mistakes because that's what they do, while we aren't privy to that other option, leaving that little what-if. it's a favorite human pastime, to think about what might have been.

we start at episode 4, though, fourty or so years after what you could arguably call the start, and find ourselves watching the dominoes fall in place throughout 1, 2, and 3.

and we can hate the choices, hate the tragedy, hate what happened to our beloved characters, but we knew. we had the luxury of knowing.

it's a love story, it's political intrique, it's sci-fi at its finest, and they were dead from the start.

oh fuck life is worth living isnt it. shit

Everything between Jayce and Viktor can really be traced back to their childhood inciting incidents and it’s killing me.

Jayce: a miracle saves him and his mom, forever imprinting him with the certainty that miracles do exist, they can be controlled, he can save his loved ones no matter how awful things get, if he can just be smart and bold and quick enough.

Viktor: he saw the horror of what Singed had done—of forcing a creature to live against its will, of the degradation and terror of being fundamentally changed. For a while he thought he understood Singed, when he decided that he was willing to throw away all his principles to survive his own body. But he didn’t, really. He didn’t understand. There was still a line he would not cross. He wanted to die human.

It’s fitting, then, and unspeakably tragic, that Jayce is the one who played Singed’s role in the end. Because you can’t ask Jayce to let a loved one go, when he knows there’s a miracle that can save him, the solution is right there, it will work if you will just let him try—and so he forces a change onto Viktor against his will. He traps him into the Arcane, takes apart and reassembles his body, strips him of his selfhood and humanity. All so that Viktor will live. Singed wasn’t talking about the desperation not to die—he was talking about the desperation not to lose someone you love.

And so Viktor is…changed. He lives, whether he wants to or not.

And so Jayce loses him anyway.

the Jayce struggle..

fiddauthor and jayvik are fundamentally very different ships in many ways but "outsider scientist blinded by ambition gets sucked into an unholy machine of his own creation meanwhile his cosmically disturbed boyfriend starts a cult because he can't come to terms with the innate fallibility of his own human mind and body" is a suspiciously specific niche to fall into
