All You Have To Do Is Sing

Hello - i'm a mestiza peruvian, 21+ year old bisexual cis woman (she/her) who can be reached in the following places:

GothLoli on ao3

GothitaLolita on twitter

GothicDolores here on tumblr

GothicDolores on blsky

these are all the places you can find me in terms of fanfiction, and specifically fanfiction. My ao3 is listed at the top of my blog and contains both my old pseud and my current pseud - all public for you to peruse, as it always has been.

I occasionally indulge in Dead Dove, simply mind the tags and filter out my library accordingly, as it's mixed in with my usual work!

I used to take requests, but they were mostly for small ships or niche tropes, if I happen to write for something you enjoy, I might say yes but i am not a request blog, so no promises - i just yap about my ships here on tumblr

Dek watched his brother die knowing that his only crime was that kwei loved him enough to try to give him an honest chance but that’s not allowed under their father’s rule, his father being a traditionalist yautja, where something like that wouldn’t be seen as bad if a little zealous — Kwei’s murder isn’t a CRIME, and so instead of accepting that, Dek (and Dan for that matter) decides NOT to adhere to what a “badass” yautja would do. Dek chooses not to take the highroad, to feel his emotions and decide yeah no fuck this, fuck you, fuck the clan and I’m leaving the planet with the two people who actually showed me what love is BYE

In any other story, Dek might’ve gone the way of “he killed my brother, but that’s how yautja life is” but instead of that, immediately upon being asked by thia about it, he’s like no im gonna avenge my brother because that was bullshit and my dad’s a piece of shit actually. In any other story, dek might’ve very well TAKEN Njohrr’s head and his place in yautja society, but that’s not the story dan wanted to tell — he wanted dek to have the strength to see the world he wanted offered to him and decide it sucks and wasn’t worth the price of losing kwei

And i love that, personally. Cuz across fanfic and even official media there’s this idea that yautja are tough all the way down to the bone but badlands poses the real question of hey if that’s true than there are people who don’t fuck with that kind of rigid lifestyle, there are innocent lives lost, there’s unfairness in brutality the same as in any other society and that bares analyzing in an empathetic way and through an interpersonal lens and a good and honorable yautja is maybe one who actually doesn’t fuck with the code, more than a yautja who does

Her water quite LITERALLY runs out!!!

goshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i love this because it reminds me of Clan Ship Culture and all that it entails;

cuz most of the clan-ships we see offer very little by way of privacy, only high ranking hunters really get ROOMS and most would be used to sharing space or seeing other yautja constantly

but kwei had a PERSONAL cruiser, he was a prince and his digs are nice, but Dek is also very clearly USED to being there. Yes, he was still learning to drive it (something thia has no problem with) and all the minutiae of it all but for DEK, sharing a space with people he TRUSTS is far more familiar to him than being among other yautja

it's his safe space tbh!! thia does her best to maintain a proper air around him when he's in front of his mom (as a for instance) but in the privacy of their ship????? cuddle bug!!!

Dek meltssssssssss into the attention!!! he is so loved, its easy to become addicted to the way Thia treats him and how soft he gets to be with Bud. makes it that much harder to get to Prime and take care of his dad, who reminds him of how distance and transactional his so-called affection was

yes, he's an asshole and increasingly unstable and very very not all there by the end of Nothing Left to Prove, but i have to get there. He's a double widower who's done shitty things to his mates but how did he bag at least 2 baddies???
