Note For Self - Make A Dragonborn Like This

penelope's line from prompocalyse always stuck with me - 'i let them put my best friend in that crystal'. i can just picture her lying in her bed before prom wishing she had her best friend there, possibly the only person penelope ever actually loved, but knowing that she would never be forgiven for giving her up in the first place. sam wasn't a means to an end, in her eyes sam was a sacrifice that had to be made to be queen. sam was a shred of goodness and hope and happiness that penelope gave up for power, not only because sam herself would be sacrificed but because the sam that loved her, her best friend, would cease to exist.

i don't think she liked sam because she was pretty or talented or famous - i think she liked sam because sam loved her. it's both more and less meaningful, because in being loved by sam penelope could and did love her back but didn't anticipate that one day sam would stop loving her. she's left with this feeling of empitiness and loneliness that she doesn't even attempt to mend because she knows that nobody would ever compare to sam, so all she can do is cling to her crown and try to fill the hole herself with everything she thought she admired about sam.

sam was strong. sam was beautiful. sam was fierce and independent and powerful. penelope could be all of these things and more, and yet never be able to fill the hole sam left because she wouldn't let herself care. penelope loved that if she said the right thing sam would be hurt, because sam cared and penelope could always exploit that weakness. there was a kind of sick pride in not caring, because even if sam was stronger than her at least penelope didn't care. at least she could nurture that love and dependency without ever having to be burdened by reciprocating it.

penelope never anticipated that one day sam wouldn't care. and penelope would be forced to acknowledge that she cared, that she had cared all along, and that now sam didn't.

I’m thinking about nightpetal again and specifically thinking about the “I don’t love you anymore.” thinking about it from penelope’s perspective, if that actually was penelope. thinking about her taunting sam like she always did, except now six girls rip through time and space to take sam’s hand and take her away. six girls who have clearly fought through some shit to come get sam, six people who love sam and aren’t afraid to tell her, to show her. I just wonder how she felt seeing antiope taking sam by the hand and telling her she loves her so openly. I wonder if, as sam told her “I don’t love you anymore,” surrounded by people who would clearly do anything for her, if penelope regretted not being that for sam. I wonder if it hurt her to know that she didn’t have someone like that, especially because she knows that, for most of her life, she did.

IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN HAWKINS

When I was 17, I was on my way to graduate from high school, got accepted into the university of my choice, and had the privilege to hang out with my friends, travel with my family, and enjoy the last year of my adolescence.

This is not the case for Nader Al-Anqar (@abdalsalam1990). He is 17 years old and he, along with his large family, is surviving most of the most televised humanitarian crisis in the world. Instead of figuring out which university he should attend or what time he is free to join his friends, he is raising funds to purchase basic necessities so they can be safe and warm for the winter.

To make matters worse, his father has cancer and is recovering from a recent surgery. Nader needs to purchase medication as well as medical treatments! This is a lot for a young person like him!

So please donate and share! Let's help him raise the short-term goal of 54.5K in the next 3 days! €53,777 has been raised. There is €777 left to go!

MORE. REGULUS. APPRECIATION.

RegulusLikeTheStar Vlogs

Regulus: Hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel. If you’re new here, my name is Regulus, like the star. If you call me Reg or Reggie, I will hit you with an unforgivable. Just kidding. Mostly. Anyways, today I have my godnephew here with me! Say hi

Harry: Hey

Regulus: So Harry goes to Hogwarts. I used to go there. Lots of fun memories. I even got a tattoo at school. Sirius made me get it removed but I’m over it. Anyways, we’re gonna rate Harry’s teachers. Go ahead Harry

Harry: First off we have Professor Snape

Regulus (choking on his water): We have WHO? Snape as in Severus Snape? Hogwarts let him be a teacher? Oh God. Ugh he was so creepy when we were in school. Always sticking his big nose in other peoples business. He even tried to expose Remus for being a (BLEEP). Oh wait, that was a secret. I’ll just edit it out. Next?

Harry: Headmaster Dumbledore?

Regulus: Ugh 0/10. He pretends to be nice but that man is always scheming. He gives special treatment to the lions of course. And his robes? Could you get any more tacky? It’s like he’s screaming for attention. Next!

Harry: Umbridge?

Regulus: Did you just pick out people you know I hate?

Harry (hiding the list of names): No

Regulus: Ok that’s enough for today! Thanks Harry! Tune in next week where Harry and I’ll be putting a muggle product called “hair remover” in Sirius’ shampoo.

gilears voice is slightly different - maybe it's just that brennan hasn't done that voice in a while, but i really think there's something up with him. obviously he's had great luck (probably a trade-off for figs new terrible luck) but his personality seems to have changed and fabian didn't make an insight check

Anyone else getting odd vibes for Gilear this episode…? Cause between him mysteriously winning a vacation and getting engaged/married without telling Fig (cause you KNOW he’d tell her) and Fig’s Dairy Demon Deal™️, I feel like something is up…
