I'm re-reading Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters for book club, and there should really be a truly epic saga about The Friendship Of Gytha and Esme, Young Witches Who Absolutely Shouldn't Get Along But Do, Shockingly (Even If Sometimes There are Minor Natural Disasters Because There Has Been A Row)

#the scene where they get into a snarly fight because the country is poisoning them against each other?#and then the scene where granny is SO pissed off that magrat and nanny have to wrestle her down #and as the trees start to shake and the wind picks up - nanny slaps her.#that is friendship.#I would love to read about how it started.#how esme (thinner than a hat rack and easily offended as a cat; charging after every scrap of knowledge she can find)#met gytha (curvy as a road through the ramtops and biddable - as long as you suggested what she wanted to do anyway)#and they ended up getting along - more than getting along. being....friends?#even when gytha was more mother than maiden and esme was mumblemumble #they were friends.#discworld

Bowser : why is Green Mario here ?? I didn't kidnap anyone this week ! Won't you pests leave me alone ?? You have a death wish or what, you wimpy little-

Luigi, scruffed by the collar : ah, I'm-I'm-I'm here for the job offer actually.

Bowser : what job offer ??

Luigi : *holds up an ad for a croupier job*

Kamek : that tracks, Sire, the casino is hiring these days.

Bowser : You ?? A dealer in MY casino ?? Since when do you that ??

Luigi, shrugging : it's-a been a while but I used to do that as a side job during my studies. I saw the ad, got nostalgic, and-

Bowser : Pah !! As if I would hire you ! I'm NOT gonna let you turn my casino into a joke ! Bet you can't even hold a deck properly !

Luigi, glaring : bet I can beat you at any card game.

Bowser, too vexed to think : DEAL !

*

Bowser, 2 hours later : ...what just happened.

Kamek : you promised him the job if he beat you, Your Baffledness.

Bowser : HOW IS HE THAT GOOD ?? He must have cheated!! I can't give him the job !!

Kamek : Sire, you gave your word-!

Bowser, grinning devilishly : he wants to work for me ? Oh, is he gonna love his new job...

#super mario bros #miscellaneous mario madness #bowuigi #sorta ?#i just listened to that world 8 theme in 3D world and it slaps #but also made me think of Luigi's casino gig #anyway Bowser keeeps trying to find out how Luigi cheats. except he never does.#Luigi is still a nervous mess outside of a poker table but when he sits down he gets in the zone #dealer Luigi in Bowser's casino AU

I love how much Lucullus can't stand Pompey, and also this

Pompey the Great: A Political Biography, Robin Seager

with something from this thrown in for extra flavor

Crassus and Pompey, on the other hand, ridiculed Lucullus for giving himself up to pleasure and extravagance, as if a luxurious life were not even more unsuitable to men of his years than political and military activities.

Plutarch, Lucullus

i kinda don’t get people who characterize maccready as like… secretly generous, or having a heart of gold or anything. like don’t get me wrong i don’t think he’s downright malicious or anything, but the dude is absolutely a selfish jerk once you get past the charming facade. that’s the part that’s compelling!

like, he’s nice enough and open enough with the player once you get high enough affinity with him, but his reactions to player actions still point to him being a jerk overall. the sosu just happens to be in His Circle of people he can be vulnerable with. that includes you, his son, and maybe daisy. everyone else can kick rocks, the same way it was in little lamplight

he HAD to grow up with that kind of “us vs the world, every man for himself” mentality in the capitol wasteland. doing so otherwise gets you killed or taken advantage of, which is just protracted death anyways. having grown up in a place where slavers run rampant, people are all pushing each other further down just to boost themselves up and live one more day, and it’s literally impossible to make renewable food sources because the ground is so poisoned i genuinely don’t blame him for ending up a little tight fisted. the fact that he was the mayor of little lamplight just meant that he ended up being able to accept a few people as His To Protect instead of being a total lone wolf.

the way he reacts to the players open generosity isn’t just for show, he Actually Dislikes when you give stuff away without expecting anything in return. you might need that thing and now its just gone!! that person might see you as a sucker! you give an inch and they’ll take a mile! and it makes sense for his character to be like that considering everything. i don’t get why people want to change that into him just being kind of tsundere.

i understand that having your babygirl blorbo comfort character be a canonical asshole in ways that aren’t just kinda charming can be offputting, but like…. the way he treats the sosu is a very notable exception to the rest of his life & it’s a much more interesting dynamic imo. especially if you’re playing a goody two shoes martyr. but that’s just me

#robert joseph maccready #i also have come to the realization that him disliking when you give austin the cure in v88 is in character #he doesn’t know shit about how medicine works #he just sees some magical cure being used on a random sheltered vault kid who got himself into this mess anyways #meanwhile *his son* is suffering #i also think his disdain towards being generous is because of the ‘if i can’t have it no one can’ mentality #similar to how astarion acts in bg3 #maccready didn’t have any help as a kid. he went through it all by himself. he had to suffer alone #seeing someone get treated with kindness after spending his whole life getting beat down #to the point where he just convinced himself that good people were made up entirely #it’s like a slap to the face #‘you mean this existed the whole time? people like YOU have been out here the whole time? and i was just unlucky?’ etc #idk i took two benadryls and now im cooking #not art

As a Kakyoin fan and artist, I'm doing my part in giving him a part 4 design 🫡 (OG ask) Throwing my headcanons at you and hitting you square in the face

Ramble under the cut

Noriaki is a successful gallery artist living with his "roommate" on Florida's Gulf Coast (I think the Tampa Bay area, specifically Bradenton, FL). They have a small bungalow near the water, Perfect for them, their office/studios, Jotaro's fish tanks, and Jolyne when she comes from her mother's during the holidays or for summer break. Jotaro is definitely a boat guy they have theirs parked on the side of the house and take it for a spin over at least once a month (or once a week when Jolyne is with them over the summer)

He still does missions for the SWF with Jotaro, but his day job is his art. He works in an abstract/contemporary style and his pieces are large and textural. Jotaro doesn't really get it but still supports his partner, Jolyne loves them though.

Also, he and Jotaro have matching wedding rings: platinum bands with emerald Inserts.

#I miss him #Oh my god they were roommates #I know the common headcanon is that Jotrao lives in Miami #But ive lived in Miami and he would hate it here #Its too loud and crowded down here #I think he would like living in the Tampa Bay Area more I feel in in my gut as a fellow Floridian #Also Its always weird for me to see my home town come up in a fic its like a slap in the face #like have they smelled the weed in bayside have they they been to palacio de los jugos have they been stuck in traffic on the 836 expresswa #Have they gotten lost in the maze that is hialeah have they had ironbeer have they beEN TO THE BASS PRO SHOP IN DOLPHIN MALL #Drives me nuts #Anyway I think Nori would love ironbeer #If your are ever in Miami go to a Cuban restaurant and get yourself an Ironbeer it life if rootbeer was good #Also yes Jotaro is a boat guy I say this with confidence coming from a boating family in Florida #Also also i doing the research for the skin grafts really got me I don't do well with medical stuff.#jojos bizarre adventure #jojo no kimyou na bouken #jjba #jjba part 4 #jjba part 3 #diamond is unbreakable #stardust crusaders #kakyoin #noriaki kakyoin #jotaro #jotaro kujo #jotakak #noritaro #artists on tumblr #my art #adri blabs

girl help I started writing down oc thoughts and have started contemplating the logistics of how a city carved into the walls of a ravine would have access to fresh water

#rye.txt #MaVst #'you should do some worldbuilding' I said to myself #'it'll be easy' i said #'just write down the little thoughts you've had floating around'#I AM A FOOL #there are so many bullet points in this fuckign document #and they're all devoted to the minutiae of how the city I have in my mind would function #how the very terrain would influence the culture #couldn't just do a normal city on flat terrain noooo I had to include homes carved into rock #anyway im pretending im upset but this is so much fun #I loveee getting to think about how tiny details all affect each other and influence the greater whole #it's like problem solving but I get to make the solutions as fun and fantastical as I want #if my ocs are my silly little dolls to play pretend with #then the worldbuilding is like getting to build the doll house #which is just as fun imo #anyway im gonna give the capital city an abandoned under-city that's no longer habitable now that the original royal family is #no longer in power #it used to be lit with the light magic of the ruler that was amplified by the crown #but now it's almost impossible to navigate and so big that your torch is liable to burn out before you can explore much at all #and without a light source it's completely pitch black darkness #<- see stuff like this is so fun to think about and I can just slap it onto my world because it's cool

I'm just a psycho, babe, come and go out my mind! I didn't lose it, babe, there wasn't much to find!

Plain text:

My grip on my secrets slipping while I'm speaking in tongues Screaming at the top of my lungs in the confession booth! Take it with a pillar of salt, halt, it's not my fault! The Devil made me do it but I also kinda wanted to...

Song: 2econd 2ight 2eer, Will Wood (Spotify)

#scp art #scp fanart #scp 049 #scp-049 #digital art #digital sketch #music inspired art #will wood #I don't know what I was doing with the colours #I just slapped something down #There's this one artist whose 049 design I love so much and I'm trying to emulate it a little #While obviously keeping my own style and stuff #My memory is terrible but I think their url is crypticcrisps(?)#Anyways feast your eyes (the people who followed me for 049 art and then I posted other things)
