outfit deconstruction
Edwin Payne's got a whole look going for him, and I love that for him. This is me layering him up and down to have a better idea of how the outfit fits together.
Jonelias thought of the day is that Elias must come across as so stuffy and boring to those at the Institute - which, you know, very much helps hide his true nature - but as an avatar of the Eye and a man determined to avoid the End, Elias is someone whose entire being revolves around the interplay of knowledge and experiences. He's compelled to Know it all and his efforts to avoid death invite him to Experience it all too, a fascinating combination of passive observer and, by virtue of being a 200+ year-old in search of true immortality, an active participant too. This is a man whose longevity and thirst for knowledge invites an obsession with life that contradicts the 'Sits in his office doing nothing but spreadsheets all day' image he's learned to cultivate. (Though, to be clear, he does love the spreadsheets.) And I don't just mean "obsession with life" in the sense of him avoiding the finality of death, but actually loving the act of being alive.
I think a lot of what the fandom (rightly) jokes about in regards to his characterization is a reflection of that obsession. Elias has a relationship with Peter Lukas that goes far beyond the cold practicality of an alliance, hinting at a romance (if you steer towards a LonelyEyes reading), or just Elias' desire to still be able to place bets with someone while he's trying to end the world. Similarly, his powers ensure that he's never truly alone - if he dies, he takes the rest of the Archive with him - forever supplying him with a warped companionship that doesn't threaten him like he perceives he was threatened as Jonah Magnus, with his acquaintances working to complete their own rituals. In true Beholding style, he's got the heart of a fucked-up scientist who's endlessly curious about the world around him: 'Oooh what happens if I let my friend waste away in the Lonely?' He shows up at Jon's birthday party not just to secretly gloat and keep an eye on things (ha), but because he legitimately wants cake. Who wouldn't want cake? What's the point of living forever if you can't have cake?? Well, for an avatar the exquisite sweetness of fear is just as good, but my point stands. Beyond his fear of death, that enjoyment is at the heart of Elias' goal, with Jon describing his experience as the Pupil as a kind of agonized bliss and Elias confirming this by saying he was having the most wonderful dream. Morality aside, he likes interacting with the horror of the Entities, something we saw all the way back during the "[PLEASURED EXHALATION]" scene. Learning new things feels good. Experiencing news things is enjoyable. Learning and experiencing Bad Things is especially nice given his patron. Consistently, Elias' setbacks are met with interest, or a mild annoyance that then eventually settles into satisfaction because they are also new experiences for him and the Eye: going to jail, getting to psychologically torture Martin, having his own secrets exposed. There's a lot throughout the series to imply that Elias enjoys watching Jon become the Key, not just because it means he's succeeding in his goals, but because there's genuine interest and pride in seeing him "grow" by Elias' standards. The repetition of "our world," "our patron," etc. implies a connection; the intention to experience this new world with another, to enjoy it rather than simply exist in it for the mere sake of existence. Elias is a man whose entire essence boils down to, "I NEED TO KNOW ALL THE THINGS, EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING, AND LIVE FOREVER WHILE ACHIEVING THAT, TO UNDERSTAND IT ALL SO I CAN CONTROL IT ALL AND HAVE A DAMN GOOD TIME IN THE PROCESS, EVEN WHILE I SUCCUMB TO THE PRIMAL FEAR THAT DRIVES ME I WILL PARADOXICALLY EMBRACE IT, AND YEAH THAT'S LARGELY BECAUSE I SERVE THE LITERAL GOD OF JUDGY SURVEILLANCE BUT ALSO THAT'S JUST ME."
So anyway, I keep thinking about how this characterization could intersect with S1-2 Jon: prickly, awkward, semi-isolated, desperate to be recognized by someone whose authority he believes in. AKA the boss who, at an unprecedented young age, rose to the top of the Institute they both work at, perceived by those around him as far less interesting than he actually is. Parallels, anyone? Imagine Jon getting to really talk to Elias, realizing how much he has to offer after 200 years of life (though of course he doesn't know that), and just constantly being blindsided by not just the knowledge, but the enthusiasm for everything he's learned and been through - the good and the horrifyingly awful that, despite himself, Jon is equally drawn to. Elias recognizes every quote Jon drops into a conversation and has another witty line to pair it with. He doesn't just indulge his nerdy rambles, but participates in them. He's refined in all the ways that Jon expects - books, opera, music, etc. - and also casually drops in references to acid trips and fucking orgies. Imagine an early series Jon who forms a strong bond with Elias outside of the web (ha x2) he's been weaving, becoming dependent on his friendship and just a little bit completely in love. Elias is inherently fascinating, but he's also just Some Guy, and the combination of that is just perfect for a necrotic Archivist who simultaneously wants to be guided by his 'betters' and prove that he's an equal. Why Elias would be interested in turn barely needs stating: Jon is literally Elias' everything, in a horrifyingly tragic and like, Gothic Romance sense? What would that kind of relationship have changed? It would have likely made Elias' job even easier, but what about Jon?
...I'm not saying that Jon's drive to protect humanity would have been warped into something tragically dangerous if he'd first come to see his intelligent, complex, shockingly kind (from his nonexistent self-esteem POV), secretly-an-eldritch-monster boss as the epitome of humanity... but I'm also not saying it couldn't have!
Will shocking Hannibal by showing up at his office unannounced, covered in sweat, apologizing for the intrusion and telling Hannibal that he doesnβt know how he got there.
Hannibal doesnβt care, he thinks Willβs most beautiful when his emotions are raw. Grabs Will by the back of the neck as he watches him nod feverishly when Hannibal asks if it was: βa bad dream..?β.
Hannibal smiling as he rubs his hands down the sides of Willβs head and neck, whispering that he was okay and that heβs there. Feeling ELATED when Will leans his head onto his shoulder as he makes his way through another mild seizure.
Hannibal trying not to sound happy as he talks to Will knowing he will remember his voice and nothing else. Always happy to know a plan is working.
βIβm here. See? No one else. Just me and you.β Grabbing Willβs face in one hand and using the other to cup the back of his neck again and acting as if heβs never even thought of doing such a thing when Will gains consciousness an hour later.
βAll better now?β His voice hazy as he watches from his chair as Willβs eyes scanter around the room before leaning forward and brushing his hand against his neck in the pretense of checking his fever.
βYou had an episode. Nothing too bad butβ¦nothing is going to hurt you.β He leaned back to rest comfortably in his chair and watched as Will fought to either give in or ignore his blatant manipulation. He knows Will would question why he heard him but doesnβt remember ever leaving his bed. Knows that Will is apprehensive of the situation because he was just feeding his dogs. Know that Will is breaking and needs a constant thing for balance.
βNot with me hereβ¦β
Hannibalβs willing to become that constant.
I really hope Tumblr can maintain the joke long enough that a fake movie we all fever-dreamed into existence has more fanworks about it than the fourth highest grossing movie of all time.
absolutely obsessed with the dynamic between Matt and Frank it's gotta be one of my favorite character dynamics of all time. Frank kills people as a hobby and Matt has never killed in his life. they can't have a conversation without cursing each other out. they trust each other enough to hold one another as they jump off a building. they physically fight more often than not. Frank has seen Matt's bare ass. they're both in love with the same woman who respects herself too much to hook up with either one of them. Matt is a Catholic who believes every soul can be saved except for his own and Frank doesn't think either of theirs needs to be. can anybody hear me is this thing on
"Friends dont look at friends that way" COWARD. I look at my friends with awe in my eyes, my chest is filled with love, im glowing because i get to be near my friends. I look at my friends and i would give them my everything. SO SKILL ISSUE, look at your friends with all the love that you have

SAGAU Imposter AU but the higher the character friendship level, the easier it is for them to recognize you as the divine god without having to see your golden blood.
So following the typical SAGAU plot, who and how will your characters help you? I'll start!
Mondstadt
I'm doomed at Mondstadt considering Klee is my highest at friendship level 9. No one would probably take her seriously? But maybe she can convince Albedo (as a non-albedo haver) to hear me out first, he's pretty perceptive.
If Albedo can't help then Barbara (f.level 8) might just help me escape. She can probably convince Jean (f.level 2) to not kill me and just exile me from the city?
I like to believe that Fischl and Bennett could also help me enter Liyue (both f.level 7) as adventurers but they're probably doubting themselves, but not enough to kill me
Liyue
Liyue is definitely the safest place for me to go to. I have both Ningguang and Keqing at friendship level 10! Both big authority figures.
Although it would be hard to meet them immediately, I could probably reach out to Chongyun and Hutao first (both f.level 10 too).
Sad to say it could take a while to convince Zhongli, he just came home at f.level 1, and we all know how dangerous he can be in cult!au
It'll be even worse if he orders Xiao, as a non-Xiao haver. So I really have to reach the Qixing before the yaksha catches me.
Inazuma
An even more difficult place. My highest would be Sayu at f.level 3 and it would be hard to meet the sleepy ninja in the first place.
Thoma and Itto might just take pity (both f.lvl 2) and turn a blind eye though.
Otherwise, I'm dead in Inazuma
Tagging a few SAGAU writers to know their thoughts. This is open for anyone though and I would love to read everyone's sagau experience! don't think it's a relatively new concept! I just rly like how this gives us all a unique sagau experience based on our own efforts at being their friend! @dewdrop-writes @neetra @saryneid @chocoenvy

GREG HOUSE is so not a words guy. he's very much a physical and acts of service guy.
GREG HOUSE will kiss you every chance he gets. he'll pin you to the wall and have his way with you, then leave like nothing happened, leaving you flustered and blushing. though, he's not opposed to soft kisses, gently placing them around your face and neck hnfkcjcnd
GREG HOUSE is not a hugger. but he is a cuddler, especially in bed. sleepy mornings where he can just hold you in his arms and touch you wherever he pleased are his favourite
GREG HOUSE who grabs your ass at any given opportunity (he loves your ass he can't help it)
GREG HOUSE who will quickly and silently do jobs for you because he wants to be helpful but not tell you
GREG HOUSE who teases you a lot, but it's because he loves you <3
GREG HOUSE who buys you flowers and insists that he did no such thing
GREG HOUSE who is insanely protective over you. his cane has been used multiple times to shield off men.
The only thing all humans are equal in⦠Is death.

## ft. akaashi keiji, kita shinsuke, suna rintaro, hajime iwaizumi
## a/n. i saw one angst where y/n talked too much and my heart broke sO NOW ITS TIME FOR COMFORT!! (if u know who is the op, pls send an ask to me so i can cred them for inspo!)
## warning(s). use of βprincessβ
[masterlist]
AKAASHI KEIJI is quite wary of details, as the meticulous person he is. it is no surprise that he was able to immediately pick up on your quiet demeanour. βwhatβs wrong, angel?β he cupped your face, smoothing his thumb along the ridge of your cheekbone. once akaashi noticed that there was something bothering you, he would never let it slip past so there was really no point in trying to diss him. the tender love that coated his words coaxed you to let yourself be vulnerable around him, and that it was okay to be vulnerable around him because akaashi would always try to understand. no matter what, he would always lend a listening ear to his angel whenever they need him. when he comforts you with a hug and reassuring words, you would smile against his chest because your keiji will always understand.
HAJIME IWAIZUMI felt a switch flip in him when he noticed how distant your eyes were. he hates that there was a reason that made your eyes furrow in frustration the entire the day and he hates that there was something hurting you so bad that you didnβt want to trouble anybody else. taking long strides towards you, he locked his strong arms around you, pulling you into his chest. βwho hurt you?β his seriousness made a smile crack on your face and for a moment, your worries slipped to the back of your mind. you tried telling him that it is okay and that it is nothing much, it even went up to the point where you had to slap his back for him to let you go but he was unrelenting in his grasp. βi would go to the moon and back for you, princess. so please, just tell me whatβs wrong, yeah?β
SUNA RINTARO stared at your back that was facing him. suna himself is a quiet person but he just finds it so worrying that the only two words you have uttered today was βyesβ and βnoβ. judging from your steady breathing, you were close to sleeping. his finger hesitantly reached out to your shoulder, tapping it lightly. instead of saying anything when you turned around, he leant forward, placing his forehead against yours. your faces were held so close, hot breaths mingling together, waiting for the other to speak. βyouβ¦you know, you can tell me anything right, y/n?β suna muttered against your lips and he felt the weight on his chest evaporate when you nodded slowly. chuckling, he lightly pressed a kiss against your lips. βalright, then letβs go to sleep and you can tell me whenever you want to hmm?β
KITA SHINSUKE would slide a bowl of fruits over to you, hauling a chair over to take his place by your side. without a word, he would just take your head in his hand, pulling it to his shoulder for you to rest your head on. it was a simple gesture but it told many words that kita wishes to tell you but wonβt because he understands your space. it was telling you that everything will be okay and that he will be here whenever you need him. and when you breakdown, he just lets you speak because he rather you be vocal about your troubles than bottling it all up inside you.
da isses π€
