if I had a nickel for every time a silly goofy Latino boy named Oscar had a fantastic chemistry with a chaotic gremlin named Ruby, I would have two nickels. It’s not a lot, but it’s awfully weird that it’s happened twice.
what do you mean furina isn’t an archon?? she’s literally a god to all the theatre kids
i’m sorry but as a storyteller, who is already created like three constellations for TDP, i just know there has to be a story with romantic undertones — actually no, it is a tragic, romantic story — regarding Leola’s last wish. there will be parallels in that story with rayllum and it’s going to be a heart-wrenching and angsty and it is going to break us all and love current rayllum even more.
i can already see the parallel edits in my head. 

when my family first saw camila cabello’s cinderella and got the the part where cinderella was like “oh he’s so cute!” about nicholas galitzine’s character, their reaction — word for word, in sync — was “too bad he’s gay!!”
now flash forward two years later with red, white, and royal blue….
continuing from this post, i think i’ve figured out why i ship talisto and i blame it all on holly black: jude duarte and cardan greenbriar are talia and mephisto coded.
lemme try to explain the dynamics.
What’s there to say? They’re both badass strategists and natural-born leaders. They will make themselves heard and will not take nor tolerate bullshit. They are both clever with their plans and also don’t trust easily. Their guards are up constantly and they don’t tell their allies/friends everything (ie Jude’s coup and the whole Princess Brenda thing). They have also adapted to the rapid and traumatic changes in their lives — Jude with the murder of her parents and Talia with the fall of Xeris — and of course the adapting to a new world.
Sure, Jude takes things to an extreme by pursuing murder on occasion, but you can’t tell me that Talia wouldn’t do the same in her shoes (albeit with some hesitancy, but none the less will do so as a last resort). These two girls are a force to be reckoned with, and do all the research necessary to make sure they know all the facts and know all the plays to win.
I don’t need to explain this. It’s so obvious that Holly went so far as to basically make Mephisto Cardan’s faceclaim.
Cardan and Mephisto are both younger siblings, so they are familiar with the shadow of their older — and better, in the eyes of their father figures or something — siblings. They also both have no shame in being the villain of their stories while also being sorta carefree and charismatic I MEAN LOOK AT THEM!! But they also, deep in the core of their soul, have goodness and love inside, and a strong urge to protect and sacrifice everything for those closest to them (Jude and Praxina respectively). They grow over the duration of their screentime/booktime into lovable and openly more caring characters.
Seriously guys the parallels between them are right fucking there.
What else can I say? Enemies-to-lovers is the superior trope and if the Jurdan dynamic — while slightly questionable bc ✨bully romance✨ and just general canonical confusion — doesn’t give you tingles, imagine the applied to Talisto’s already current dynamic. I can already see Talia’s fuming face ready to absolutely destroy Mephisto and his obnoxious, degrading laughter as he walks away in Faerieland during their lessons. I can also see how the turns have tabled with Talia holding a knife to Mephisto’s neck and Talia’s grinning face as she pulls of the greatest coup in history…
I guess what I’m saying is that I would not be opposed to a Talisto Cruel Prince AU because it just makes sense.
my favorite set of siblings bro
the moon queen & her getaway pilot
I GOT MY BOY (but shit what does that say about me?)
there’s absolutely zero reason for it and i have not gotten to the later chapters yet but i think merula snyde and ben copper could be neat. 🤷♀️
am i the only one who lowkey ships zoe x jess? like now that we know they were besties in ny and they are both queer af (no confirmation needed) you can’t tell me they weren’t the adrinette of nyc — pining, in denial, def awkward but somehow can perform basic friendship functions — while aeon’s just third wheeling and facepalming at their tomfoolery like “pls get together”
this is so real actually i never thought about this but i always knew that cartoon!Matt was better substance-wise than comic!Matt.
Saw THIS POST and I couldn't agree more. Out here with the comic!Matt slander.
both have been on the brain recently and let's be so real: w.i.t.c.h. could fit in the realm of genshin i bet so thanks to picrew i made the w.i.t.c.h. girlies. i didn't do elyon or orube since i wasn't sure which of the visions would suit them best but if you have any recs lemme know :)
WILL VANDOM:
Electro, 5-star (all w.i.t.c.h. girlies are 5-star), Sword, Monstadt
IRMA LAIR:
Hydro, 5-star, Bow, Natlan
TARANEE COOK:
Pyro, 5-star, Catalyst, Sumeru
CORNELIA HALE:
Dendro (could also be Geo), 5-star, Claymore, Fontaine
HAY LIN:
Anemo, 5-star, Polearm, Liyue
Elyon (and Caleb) would DEFINITELY be Khaenri'ahn - long-lost kingdom in shambles, unknown whether it's still existing? Talk about Meridian-core lol. Orube would be Inazuman - she's kinda giving Kujou Sara vibes??
That's all i got tho have fun with that.
this is the kind of random fandom shit i post on my wattpad announcement board 😳
