i'll let phie-san say it:

#the vids i've seen on tiktok picking at her immediately get a block...#bitter otaku sitting in their socks in their mom's basement feeling threatened/enraged by a hot successful black woman outnerding them-core #also this kind of criticism is so demoralising and damaging to people who are trying to learn another language #also. accents are NORMAL and not a bad thing #i don't think that the end goal of picking up a new language necessarily has to be sounding native #and i know sometimes the way japanese people react like SUGOIII? *W* when a foreigner says like one (1) word in japanese is joked about #but like... genuinely... i always love when someone clearly has made an effort and took the time to learn some of the language #anyway she can step on those haters <3 #also like. it’s just some lines in a song people need to relax…#megan thee stallion #autoplay warning #japan #japanese #language #mamushi

when people think delilah just completely takes over and laudna has no control. when people think jester is just an uwu child who has been manipulated by every man she’s met. when people think vex is an empty husk of daddy issues without her brother by her side. when people think fjord is an arrogant asshole who doesn’t pay attention to the party around him. when people think scanlan saying that vox machina doesn’t care about him is an accurate assessment.

#i’m tired and i was bitching w a friend about this earlier but good grief.#cr fandom HATES when a character knowingly denies or portrays themself in a way that is false #but that fulfils the expected role the party/the fandom has dictated for them #whether the character is intentionally lying (vex and fjord esque) or has bad faithed themselves into believing what they’re saying #(laudna and scanlan) cr very frequently plays with like . the character is saying this and it’s not trueeeee #you’d think the fandom that’s oh so willing to History Is Written By The Victors their way into validating wiping out all of the gods #because (checks notes) they do not fulfil the whims of every person who asks #might have a little more grace when it comes to doubting the characters words as always truthful or always well informed #critical role

You are thrust out of your communion. With enough force that you hit the back of the wood, and your eyes burn like you had been staring into the sun itself.

#critical role #exu downfall #ygifs #they can't keep gettin away with this !!!!!!!!!#his damning ferocity rooted deeply in his love for his family and his need to keep those he loves Safe my nose does the honking thing #thinking pelor reacted with rage for his own old testament reverence when it was always You Are Speaking Of My Sister

The silver color of the thread begins to fill with more golden light. (requested by @overnighttosunflowers)

some essek portrait doodles :] still figuring him out but i do love 2 draw him

#essek theyless #the mighty nein #critical role #critical role fanart #critrole #cr2 #m9 #i wanna experiment a little more w him still bc i cant settle on a face #or a skin tone? i feel like i always make him more purple than i want. i think more a dark greyish indigo would suit him #yknow. he might just be a character i draw different every time. im okay with that #i do like the idea of him with these very styled waves though #at least until he starts to unwind around the nein a bit #itseart

I think the thing that Gets Me about Veilguard is just how much of an impossible task it had heaped on it from EA from the start of its inception.

It’s arguably supposed to be a soft reboot for the series while ALSO being a follow up to Inquisition. These are two fundamentally incompatible goals in my opinion. This game had to walk the most insane line of any video game in recent memory. I guess EA wanted to have their cake and eat it too.

And the more I think about it the sadder I become for the original team who worked on Joplin. From what I’ve seen of the art book, Joplin was going to be about as firm a sequel to DAI as you could get - with references to rescuing whoever was left in the Fade, having Calpernia and Imshael as companions, having to fight Solas’ agents, etc.

Then EA makes them scrap it for live service. Fine. But wait - now we’re scrapping it again. Back to single person RPG but you also kind of need to distance yourself from the previous games as much as possible while still somehow being a follow up to the previous game.

New setting, few returning companions, and new Big Bads in the form of Elgarnan and Ghilanain to get a clean slate. Any mention of what’s happening in the South (where we spent 3 whole games!) needs to be relegated to letters and codex. ** I dont have the art book yet, so I dont know if these two were supposed to appear in Joplin beside Solas - or if Solas was supposed to be the sole antagonist in that iteration of the game.

But.. I hope you see what I mean when I say this game had a monumentally, borderline impossible task ahead of it. And when I think of it that way, I think it did as good a job as it possibly could. Especially since the actual development time was closer to 3ish yrs to get what we know of as datv today even though it’s been 10 whole years since DAI.

I hope it’s successful enough to get DA5, but who know’s what’ll happen.

I wish everyone except the EA execs who meddled with this game’s development and are seemingly trying to kill dragon age a pleasant day. I have a cynical detective I need to romance 😔

#ea critical #*shakes fist at studio execs*#datv #dragon age the veilguard #cut content #corporations strike again #sigh #its still a good game #but i think im always gonna wonder how joplin may have played out #who knows if it even would have been better?#the artbook images are certainly intriguing though #positive #i wish they’d just let Bioware do their thing #last ranty post for awhile i promise #rookie rambles

Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art.#It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off.#Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways!#There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough'#only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize -#-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*)#And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans.#The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement.#I really can't describe how grateful I am.#Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out.#Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house.#But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants.#I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry.#Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

I'm sorry but some of you really overestimate how pro-god Orym is

#just because he is the most pro-god of bells hells doesn't mean he is actually pro-god #some of you heard “the gods are watching” and took that as his only view of the gods #and a lot of you forget that he is oyrm of the air ASHARI #you know? the people who primarily worship the natural world?#we've heard his mother (in-law) and leader say how they worship the natural world #it's not a stretch to say that orym was raised on those views #orym has stated over and over again about his worries about the potential environmental consequences of releasing predathos #and more importantly orym has always talked about how many people have died and could die as a consequence of releasing predathos #some of you think it's “ew ludinus wants to kill the gods”#when really it's “ew ludinus is willing to kill people and potentially destroy exandria in order to kill the gods”#i'll probably make a whole post with all my evidence when i have the time #orym of the air ashari #orym #critical role

Why are your children bound by rules you will not follow?

Critical Role, Campaign 3, Downfall Parts 1-3 // Commandments of The Prime Deities according to the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn

#you ever think about the ways the gods so often do and occasionally do not follow their own commandments? cause I do. too much #critical role #cr downfall #cr campaign 3 #the lawbearer #the wildmother #the dawnfather #the arch heart #the everlight #the matron of ravens #the prime deities #underconsidered part of the 'rules you will not follow' is that celestials are a very unique being. they are not really mortals #and even mortals as we have seen in the campaigns are given much leeway with interpreting the commandments of their deities #i mean. deanna full stop asked the god who grants her power if he was worth saving and did not experience the fjord-like symptoms #of waking up powerless #the gods are like mortals #and like mortals cannot be contained absolutely by rules - no matter how much some of them like the lawbearer might wish that were not true #thats the tragedy. the gods treat their own commandments as mortals treat their commandments: ideals. things to strive for #but not always things to be reached :(#abubakar salim #noshir dalal #nick marini #taliesin jaffe #ashley johnson #laura bailey #brennan lee mulligan #web weaving #web weave #my post

Every time I’ve seen some entitled guy on Twitter this morning complain “maybe you should check in on what your FANS want” or say “glad to see the death of CR in real time, you’re shitting on your fans!” I grow more happy with CR for daring to be bold and do something unexpected and hope they are more quietly hostile to those fans and their entitlement, tbh.

#cr spoilers #critical role #luck liveblog #it honestly remains to be seen if I think this is going to *work* to be clear #most cause of the character death timing which couldn’t really be predicted #but I’m always a fan of bold creative moves and surprises and efforts to keep things fresh

laura: i'm also gonna cast a third leve–oh wait,,no i won't heal you because i don't have,,,i'm gonna healing word you because i have that prepared,,,

sam: because you don't have cure wounds prepared?

laura: Shut Up

sam: (to the camera) she didn't have cure wounds prepared.

marisha: i was a druid and i never left without it! as a druid!

#this is funny specifically bc marisha and sam were the two players in c1 who consistently healed when pike was absent 90% of the time #they're like how can you Not heal. and laura is like what do you mean caduceus is on healing duty 24/7 and is better at it #and marisha and sam are like In My Experience We Need Three Healers Always?#thinking about the eps where they did big combat with pike and it felt like there was a neverending well of HP DKFJSDKFS #19m c2e99 #text #critical role #cr2 #cr lb #jester lavorre #jester the cleric #sam riegel #marisha ray #marisha & sam #laura & sam #laura bailey
