i am not a destiel fan i am a destiel survivor
this is EXACTLY what Hannibal deserves
My ships do it better??
noah fence but was kaladin planning to just fly straight from urithiru to hearthstone at the end of wor
and does he have enough stormlight to make it there? like how much does it take
because I’m picturing him dropping out of the sky in front of some random villager somewhere like “your spheres. show them to me”
and of course the random villager seeing an extremely tall, extremely muscular, faintly glowing man with a spear is about to piss their pants so they dig out all their spheres like “hey buddy, I got a family, take everything you want just don’t hurt me”
kaladin: *takes deep breath*
kaladin: thanks man *rockets off into the sky*
random villager: what
It’s not because the writing is flawless because, let’s face it, Mull is wonderful at many things but he has no voice or style.
BUT
EVERY. WRITER. CAN. LEARN. FROM. HIS. VILLAINS.
Name one perfect villain. Voldemort? His weakness was arrogance and also breakable items. Galbatorix? Boring. The Ring of Sauron? Is that even a thing? Idk but it’s boring as well. Darth Vader?? Wasn’t he actually a good guy gone wrong? Idk guys I don’t watch these movies sorry.
BUT THE SPHINX
Fucking flawless villain.
He plotted and schemed for millenia. Literally. He was patient and cunning and always about fifty steps ahead of his enemies. He had no weaknesses.
Best of all, his ultimate plan was not to rule the world or achieve immortality or whatever. It was just to make the world a better place, and honestly, it might have worked. He had a whole system set up in advance, he had everything prepared to control the demons. The scariest part? He was so NOT power hungry that he was 100% willing to put his plan down and walk away if the demons were not willing to cooperate. After /thousands/ of years of preparation, he was totally fine with doing that. Because he wasn’t crazy. He was totally logical, totally reasonable. It’s almost terrifying how cunning and intelligent he was.
And he didn’t even hold anything against his enemies. He respected them, he never underestimated them. He played to their strengths and weaknesses perfectly so he could get exactly what he needed from them. They didn’t even realize that they had. (*cough*the dragon betrayal*cough*) and he promised amnesty to them should his plan ever come to fruition. He wanted them on his side and he totally understood that they never would be.
In fact, the only thing that caused his downfall was something he would not have had an iota of control over. I don’t want to give too many spoilers because ~read the books~ but if it weren’t for a betrayal that he never could have seen coming because it was literally in the makings for longer than he’d been alive, his plan would have totally succeeded. He had ALL the cards and he didn’t let his guard down even then. And once the betrayal happened, he joined forces with his enemies to bring down the demons.
The good guys NEVER would have succeeded without the Sphinx.
That’s. What. Makes. Him. A. Perfect. Villain.
their canon relationship is wildly amusing to me
"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."
Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.
AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.
AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:
Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.
AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.
For the au meme, would you do a Obi-wan as Mace 's Padawan ?
Yoda has Plans, of course, but recently-Knighted-his-padawan Mace Windu is wandering through the Temple alone and pondering upon adding a few new Vapaad moves, missing having Depa as a sounding board now that she’s taking missions of her own, and literally trips over an initiate that is full of anger and righteousness and a deep, abiding love for the Order and also about to apparently get shown off to somebody in an exhibition match or something, which, WHY, HE IS PERFECT, WHO NEEDS TO SEE ANYTHING ELSE IF THEY’VE MET HIM?? Also, there’s the suggestion of at LEAST three shatterpoints literally SITTING on this fucking kid, and they are fucking INTENSE ones because they are all decades out but they are also all rock-solid and Mace can already see them starting to show. If the Force has ever wanted him to sit the fuck up and Take Notice more than this, he could not even THINK of when it had been.
“I realize you’re busy at the moment, but you don’t have a prospective Master, do you?” he asks, eyeing the kid’s right ear. There is zero sign of anything even resembling a braid but it’s polite to ask and all. “Uh–what?” Obi-Wan asks stupidly. Mace tries to remember how you woo a padawan into accepting your teachings; Depa sort of just latched onto him and things went smoothly from there, he’s not really sure how to just adopt one cold. Then again, the direct approach has served him fairly well in life. “The Force is telling me you would be a very suitable padawan for me, and I would be honored to prove myself as a suitable master to you,” he tries. “Will you accept?”
Obi-Wan has never said “YES PLEASE” so fast in his LIFE. It’s MACE GODDAMN WINDU, Vapaad Master and all-around badass and CHAMPION OF THE JEDI, of COURSE he says yes. He goes to the exhibition match against Brock just dazed and confused af and also not entirely sure he’s still supposed to do it now, but also FUCKING DYING OF JOY TO THE POINT HE CAN’T STOP GRINNING. Everyone is like “um Obi-Wan are you okay” and then Mace sweeps in behind him and claps his hands down on his shoulders like “HEY so Master Yoda, I know you’re doing a thing here but I’d like to take my new padawan to get a haircut and put a braid in if that’s cool with you?”
“What,” Yoda says blankly as the initiates all freak out and Qui-Gon IMMEDIATELY takes the opportunity to FLEE LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER, BLESS YOU MASTER WINDU HE OWES YOU ONE, HE OWES YOU TWENTY-ONE. Yoda is like FUCK, SO CLOSE I WAS. Brock Chun is eeeeven more pissed than in canon, probably, that’s definitely gonna bite someone in the ass later. <<;;
And ah yes the impending first meeting of tiny Padawan Kenobi and Jedi Knight “you literally JUST Knighted me and you’re ALREADY taking a new padawan, Master, omg take a VACATION why don’t you” Billaba. It will be BEAUTIFUL. ❤
“You see, humans have this thing called a housewarming gift…”
Do you guys ever have a time when your thoughts mindlessly wander to one of your OTPs and you’re heart just clenches and you smile a little and you feel instantly happy because you just love that ship so fucking much.
