Mage Of Executive Dysfunction

Saviors of the Dreaming World, Happy 413

I’ll get to the Alpha kids later. Maybe completely redo the background because Photoshop effects abuse.

Royal Zillywairinger and Spines of Echillywich? (Achille’s Witch? idek) Looking forward to legendary weapon alchemizing.

I’ll get to classpect meta later but honestly this is so important

Daraya’s path put Jadebloods into much sharper focus as a caste subject to incredibly strict control and norms of behavior. Specifically, norms concerning romantic and intimate interest in other trolls, where young, fleeting relationships might be allowed but consummated, long-lasting adult relationships are explicitly illegal.

It actually reminds me a fair bit of the “Class S” genre in manga and anime, which depicted lesbian love among young schoolgirls but always in a lens that painted those relationships as fleeting, or inherently doomed and tragic.

This puts Kanaya’s early struggles with romance into some really compelling context. Of course she’s more interested in those “More Daring” than her. Of course she’s compelled by people willing to break rules and flaunt convention and risk everything for what they want, like Vriska.

Who else could she dare to hope would be with her? As romantic and extremely into girls as she is, under ordinary circumstances, romance and love were an impossible dream for Kanaya. But by god…

Kanaya said “fuck that” and fucking got it anyway.

She ollied out of her entire universe and hooked up with the girl who wrote her favorite Gamefaqs entry. And then that girl led her through space and time and places where spacetime doesn’t EXIST to a blank slate planet. And then that girls’ Mom handed her the key to ensuring Kanaya’s entire SPECIES could live and love there freely, forever and ever and FUCKING ever after that, A MEN.

Kanaya loves girls so hard that it obliterated the cruel karmic punishment shoved onto her ENTIRE caste, and she’s FREE NOW, AND KISSING ROSE RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT.

An immediate project to make a real Jurassic Park ensues.

Unsurprising Developent: That goes bad.

Whenever zoo’s tried to put lions and tigers in the same enclosures, the lioness would eventually try to groom the tiger and play constantly. The Tiger would lose patience and snaps at them

So basically what I’m saying is that you have a regal and refined gf who stands at the edge of a balcony during parties, sipping champagne
