Be amazed that it's taken me this long to decide "oh, you know what? I should roll up my SWTOR legacy in BG3!". ;) Now to decide on classes and romances...

Xaja: Fighter/Rogue multiclass, maybe. Probably gonna romance Karlach. (And oh, the temptation to roll her as a halfling for the lulz...)

Korin: Rogue/??? Bard, maybe? And he might need the polyamory mod. ;) If I don't do that mod... Astarion? Shadowheart?

Sorand: Sorc/Wizard multiclass, and he'll definitely be romancing Wyll, I think. (Also, he'll be my resist!Durge instead of a Tav.) (And if I do make him something other than a human... drow, maybe?)

Reanden: ????? Monk, maybe, for the unarmoured combat? Romancing ????? (gaaah, why is the cranky old bastard so hard to figure out?)

Shara: ???? Barbarian/Fighter, maybe? Or a paladin? NO idea who she'll get with.

And, because I WILL need an embrace!Durge at some point...

Maglion: Fighter/oath of vengeance Paladin? Not sure if he'd romance anyone, or if anyone would romance HIM. I mean, dude is more toxic than all of Quesh...

Xalia: Rogue/sorc maybe? Maybe romancing Minthara or Lae'zel?

showing multiple of my friends s2 of lady parts and them not having the same strong emotional response has been such a weird experience

Top 5 hottest Bloodborne characters and why! (P.S. you must exclude Patches though, or else the top will be rigged and pointless)

FUCK YOU WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE!!! (AND OF-FUCKING-CURSE YOU'D EXCLUDE MY BLORBO FUCK OFF)

Alright altright... let me think...

I don't have a particular order for any of these in mind, so bear with me here... the idea of hot in my head isn't really well-defined for these guys. I'll stick to the humans for this (and ones we actually meet and know what they look/ed like ahah), otherwise how is anyone gonna compare to like, Wet Nurse, Kos and Ebrietas? Simply impossible lmao. Also, it's half characters I personally really like and characters that just... ARE hot lol.

Call me simple but Annalise has some ALLURE to her. She looks absolutely beautiful in the portraits we do have of her, but her mask-bound visage inspires mystery and intrigue, as well as her just having that dignified nature to her. Despite everything she ever had having been toppled and destroyed, she keeps her chin up and still commands respect. She is very strong and confident in her blasphemy and you can't help but love to see it.

Call me simple YET AGAIN but Gascoigne is just undeniably hot lol. Like, I am not even his biggest fan but even I think it's an objective fact. He has everything you could ever want. Gigantic dad body, sharp teeth, a sexy voice... and he is probably sweet enough when off work to maintain a pretty stable loving family and a life-long buddy. Technically!!! He is the ONLY human character (that isn't a prostitute I guess) that is confirmed as not being a virgin lmao. Even the setting wanted you to know this man fucks. Like, there's no denying he is THE hot character of the setting when the topic comes up. People don't call him daddy for nothing...

Valtr. I don't even have to elaborate honestly. His looks are appealing, his insanity and violence are appealing, his voice acting is appealing. He is just REALLY freaking appealing with how strong he is and how passionate he is about the things he believes. And, while this may be a thing that only makes him more appealing to me, he also has the potential to be silly, which is hilarious since he is the character who'se goal is "everyone must die". I mean, it's THAT goal itself that makes him silly in the first place ahah. But yeah, solid design, concept, backstory and execution. It does not surprise me multiple people simp for him. Honestly, I am surprised it's not MORE.

Now with the more conventional out of the way, I'll go with Djura. He is a frisky old man, and one who tries to atone for his mistakes and crimes. He is well-meaning and surprisingly honest for someone in Yharnam lol, which makes him stand out in a sea of asshole opportunists and deranged lunatics. You know how people usually gravitate towards batshit crazy weirdo characters in a sea of relatively sane and good characters? I think Djura has the same effect but reversed lol. HE is the novelty in this world. Also, his design is pretty freaking attractive. It's simple, but the charm is there. His voice actor did a very good job as well ahah. I love his line delivery...

... I'll come out and say that I can see the appeal of Logarius VERY well. He is a tall evil man of dubious origin just chilling (literally) on the roof of Cainhurst for all time. He was most likely somewhat Pthumerian which adds to his attractiveness, as it would make him not QUITE a human (but still human enough to make it on this list lol). I also listened to the sounds he makes and I liked what I heard... he has a pretty cool evil laugh. I just like how he was either fully deluded and really believed his quest, or he was just enticing a group of fanatics while knowing full well their quest had ulterior motives. Both work and both are appealing for different reasons. One has to wonder what he looked like before he turned into a Halloween decoration...... welp, I said it. I am cringe but I am free...

Honorable mention to thicc Willem, the sexiest man in Yharnam and the one who ruined it. I like to think he wasn't JUST smart back in the day lol

The Venetians could not hide their perplexity. Why, if Henry and Katherine were involved in a dispute that was rocking Christendom, did they still continue to attend functions together, to dine together in public and to behave, with their daughter present, as if nothing was going at all? In June 1530, the Signory in Venice were told [...] 'this most virtuous Queen maintains strenuously that all her king and lord does, is done by him for true and pure conscience' sake[...]' Maybe this is the line that Katharine took with Mary, absolving her husband of blame, emphasising that conscience was the key to the difficulties that Henry faced. It would certainly explain Mary's otherwise misguided confidence in her father, whose conscience was actually one of the most self-serving and self-pitying in history. At an impressionable age, Mary learned that conscience was the most important justification for behaviour that anyone could make. It became her guiding principle— a clear conscience was what you owed yourself and God—and the cause of much of her unhappiness.

I hope the "What if Disco Elysium was about a witch finding her cat in the mountains" post never leaves the gaming discourse vernacular. It will never not be funny to me bc it's got all the Gamer Entitlement™ levels of CoD bros throwing hissy fits about "woke" shit but instead of being couched in far right reactionism it's the exact kind of "Kingdom of Conscience" style liberal outrage at anything with conviction and beliefs that DE waxed on about. Like even chuds who get mad that the game calls you out for being racist interact with the themes of DE better and understand them more than Cat Lady did.

THE GREAT WARNING MOVIE

[from1837to1945]

Henry Walthall, who is considered by many the best actor in the motion picture world to-day, was born in Shelby County, Ala., March 16, 1878. After a short experience in stock he appeared with Henry Miller in "The Great Divide" when the motion picture field claimed him, and in 1906 he joined the Biograph Company under Griffith. After a year each with Pathe and Reliance, he was starred in Griffith's "The Avenging Conscience" and "The Birth of a Nation." Later joining Essanay he played in "Temper," "The Outer Edge," "The Raven," "The Misleading Lady," and co-starred with Edna Mayo in "The Strange Case of Mary Page." Mr. Walthall is probably seen in more pictures and in more places than any other screen artist.

Peace be upon you.. Please do not ignore our suffering...

My name is Salman Hell from the destroyed Gaza Strip...

My family consists of many children, women and elderly people and we are suffering from horrific conditions.. Our house was bombed in the northern Gaza Strip and we were displaced to the southern Gaza Strip to Al-Zawaida and the family was scattered in tents and shelters in the central camps...

The conditions are very tragic as children suffer from the spread of diseases and the elderly suffer from difficult conditions and lack of treatment...

There is no water, no food, no electricity in the Gaza Strip...

We would never ask for help and donations but the miserable conditions in the Gaza Strip forced us to do so ...

For more than a year, we have been oppressed and persecuted in the Gaza Strip, and we have been subjected to violent, barbaric bombing...

I appeal to the people of human conscience and the free people of this world to help us.

Your help, no matter how small, means a lot to us because it contributes to saving us...

Please donate to us or share my campaign On your blog and for your friends...

This campaign is legitimate and I am ready to provide all evidence...
