#*ARC; tbd

[ninkaku]

strange behaviour from the arcane fandom when a woman that has relations with another woman goes down a darker path and people condemn her whereas if she was a man in love with another man this would be lapppped up as “toxic yaoi”. please get a grip

"Ya looked chilly out here in the autumn air!" She blinked after watching his reaction, trying to make her intentions clear. That... usually worked with people who were recovering from an injury who just woke up.

"Hmm!?" She blinked at the mention of her brother. "Oh, yeh, he's my cap'n an' my brother. Twin, specifically, if ya'd believe it." It wasn't like she knew this man other than, well, he did save the Seireitei once or twice and then she heard of him from Shinji. So she knew of him, but not personally.

"Um, I'm Ayame Hirako…" She'd introduce herself before bowing gently.

I’m doing queue’ing today but also. there’s Oghren takes in my brain.

[ayrennaranaaldmeri]

i will say is seeing people unironically go 'gale's arc is about how bad he is at communicating' is just the funniest fucking thing i have read in my entire life and i haven't laughed that much at something since the early access conspiracy theories

[askfallenroyalty]

i love how that happened partly because of that but also i feel the trick to a good darkner design (for a "humanoid" one at least) there's a visual motif of darker faces. could it be a coincidence? probably. most likely.

but the idea is that the eyes are obscured OR they have a shadow face.

ain't nobody got normal white scalea eyes here!!! (excluding the shadow faces.)

Ralsei seems more, idk, lightner like in his second form. i don't count him.

anotehr detail, and again it could be a coincidence, is they have black on their design. (or dark enough to substitute as black, as in Rouxls Kaard's case.)

see they... blend in a little bit. ._. not a lot. i think it's my reluctance to use straight black outlines that help them stand out too much. and Forget-me-not King is a bit too detailed.

but past that! they kinda fit, design wise at least

When people remain so hard on Gale for 'still talking' about Mystra, it's just.....ohhh boy. Of all the main cast, Gale's definitely one (alongside Wyll) whose relationship with their authority figure, abuser, manipulator, keeper, however you want to call them, is routinely discredited. Their abuses aren't digestible enough. Isn't 'sympathetic' enough. Shadowheart and Astarion have clear overbearing abusers with exceedingly evil personalities. It's apparently 'easier' for some people to show compassion to a victim's hurts if they've the physical scars to prove it, if their abuser fits every bill of a sadist without any effort to hide said sadism. But show Gale, a man who looks older than essentially the whole party, who was with Mystra who appears younger, speaks in a polite/levelled tone, who was 'simply upset' with Gale for 'disrespecting her boundaries', and Gale just becomes...the hung up ex who fumbled a baddie. Y'know, barring the fact that she knew of him and very likely kept eyes on him as a boy, had never actually told Gale the book he was looking for was Karsite in nature, left him to die alone, then came back and said, 'hey, I'll forgive you if you literally blow yourself up by SINKING A DAGGER STRAIGHT INTO YOUR CHEST when I have every ability to remove the orb myself.' Barring, too, that beyond his lover, she was his GODDESS, a goddess who controlled his fealty and commanded his utmost devotion, he being Gale Dekarios, a mortal, human man who was undoubtedly manipulated. Being with someone like that will destroy anyone's reality. He scrabbled for any sort of approval from a far more powerful figure. Many victims of abuse do.

But hey. And don't get me started on Wyll. Man literally made a pact to save others, sacrificed his freedom for the benefit of all, and ended up hard leashed by a literal devil. A devil! Goddddd. Also iffy that Wyll had no agency to make his decision with his pact in act 3 while barely having any lines to speak of, and how Gale is encouraged to apologize and make amends with Mystra for his character arc. Hmm.

joan of arc but make it bad and half finished <3

Lips twitch upwards, barely phased by his commentary. If she expected a warm welcome from all of her siblings, she would have been naive. Fortunately, she knew her siblings well, knew she'd have to work to earn their forgiveness— a task she would happily partake in so long as it was on the cards. Kol had always been eccentric, as a child she had revelled in his chaos, perhaps even caused it alongside him but as they had aged, as they had become what they are, their relationship had shifted, changed.

Bryn had grown up quickly, perhaps too quickly for her age, after all, she had only been sixteen. Her brother had delved deeper into his madness, something which had been a point of contention before he had been daggered and she had eventually left.

She ignores the response to her initial question, deciding it best if she doesn't encourage him further. Instead she reaches for the bourbon, pouring herself a glass and quickly downing it as it meets her lips, following his lead and pouring another. Apparently she was going to need alcohol to get through this conversation.

" You and I both know I'm not fond of goodbyes. " She hums in response (though in her defence, he wasn't exactly around when she parted ways), taking a small sip of the new glass she holds, leaning back against the wall, head tilting as she takes him in. " I forgot how well you hold grudges. " She muses, head shaking, smiling despite herself. " Never the less I'm not intending on leaving any time soon unless I'm driven to it so perhaps we could try for civility? " A brow raises in question and she places her drink on the nearby counter, gaze softening. " Would you believe me if I said I missed you? All of you. " A pause, lips twitching upwards " with perhaps the exception of Niklaus, I could go another century or two without seeing him. "

[Paraphrasing the question] Now that Kaladin is functionally a lighteyes and Moash is functioning fully as a villain, are we going to get another character who will be a dark eyed/low class character critiquing the political/social system?

Sanderson [paraphrasing]: I’ve been looking at whether Lift can justifiably fill that role as someone who considers herself an outsider even among the Radiants. But RAFO until after book 5

I am just SO tired of all the hate and insane conspiracy theories against this movie. It’s just a fun little nod back to the classic Disney movies. You all just hate joy.

@musesreunite continued from here "But, I don't want you to get hurt." Rawya stared at the Doctor with a sad glance. She didn't realize it, but tears were filling her eyes. "If they know you're a Time Lord like me, they'll come after you. If anything happens to you, I'll never forgive myself. I already lost my mother. I can't lose you too."

The Doctor looks at Rawya with a concerned expression. She wants to comfort the younger Time Lady. Of course, she can't guarantee any outcome. But she does want to stop Rawya's tears. "Ya won't lose me. I'm good at surviving, me. Always have been." She puts her hands on Rawya's face, doing her best to wipe the tears away as she stares into the younger woman's eyes. "I don't want to see you get hurt either. Okay?"

She caresses Rawya's cheeks with her hands, hoping to provide some comfort. "I'll be right back, I will. And then we'll go somewhere nice. How about that?"
