fanfic ao3. twitter. header credit. icon credit. my blog dedicated just to posting photos of my cats.

forgot to keep this bad bitch updated on here, but HEY. if you liked my smut one-shot, it now has five whole chapters! and still going!

get on over here for your sampard slow-burn needs!! (top link is to ch1 for folks new to this story, but you can obvs skip onto the next chapter if u already read the first!)

**Mild 3.5 Spoilers.** As promised, Kaeya buys Dainsleif a drink, and proposes a deal between the two of them.

there is a lot to be said (and has already been said) on the pressure developers are underneath due to nintendo’s incredibly short production cycle, but i am very curious how they will retroactively fix things in future patches. they seemed to imply they would be making an effort to listen to players, but how well will they listen?

he’s long overdue for retirement, and part of me wishes he could have grown up with the rest of us kids, but idk how that’d fit with tpc’s merchandising goals and catering to new gens of kids lol

what im SUPER curious is tho... are these new protagonists gonna be the next mainstays? will these kids be stuck in 10 yr old limbo for the next 25 years? or will we see them treating them more like ash’s sidekicks, aggressively recycled and changed out with every new generation?

like... i havent watched the anime since i was a kid, and im not starting now lmao, but i WILL be eyeballing it from the sidelines from a pure curiosity standpoint to see how it goes.

however, the old pierro peeks out whenever dainsleif is around, and he notably softens/will speak to dainsleif as he used to, whereas dainsleif always has his guard up. does he soften up enough, however, to reconsider his goals and the great cost of them?
