the thing that drives me absolutely crazy though is that gortash is presented as this commanding dominating tyrant and yet it's consistently shown that the thing he appreciates about durge (or tav for that matter) is when they're not willing to submit to him & when they are strong enough to either stand against him or to stand with him & when they are his equal.

an insane thing for someone like him to want. you'd think he'd want to rule alone and yet the insight checks all show that he actually prefers to share so long as there's someone around worth sharing with.

"Half a smile shows he is teasing you. He doesn't think for one moment you'd fully submit to him. Nor should a spawn as formidable as you."

the throughline of “little lies are ok” and “lying is ok if it helps your friends and family, but you’ve got to tell the truth about lying” and the shared domain of trickery between the main instigator and adversary of the calamity, asmodeus, and the moonweaver, who takes the first steps to define (and weave, if you will) the new relationship between divinity and those left behind on the material plane, all culminating to sehanine then wielding this aspect of illusion and untruths they share and literally slapping her brother back to the pit of the hells? perfection, absolutely no notes

Hilarious that in the literal first chapters of TSCIR, Yoohyun tries to lock up Yoojin (keyword being tries) and we all, collectively were like “unbelievable! How overprotective! How irrational! Violence!! He’s locking up his brother!! How inhumane”

And now it’s somehow become “SOMEONE SIT ON HIM. LOCK HIM UP! YOOJIN WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE BOMBS PUT THEM DOWN! STOP BLOWING STUFF UP AND PISSING OFF GODS YOOJINNN”

While Sung Hyunjae is just in the back handing him bombs.

Reminder for nonhumans: quadrobics is not an easy or common thing to do & you do not need to feel bad about not being able to do it.

If you wanna do it- GREAT!! I believe in you, but please don’t beat yourself up for not being able to do it immediately; you really need to build strength and muscle up first

Quadrobics is an extremely difficult workout that combines calisthenics & aerobics- most folk I see doing this with “ease” are very slim & don’t carry much weight on their bones. This makes quadrobics much easier to work towards and perfect as they dont have to lift as much weight

And I need more of my older & heavier weight nonhuman peers to comprehend that.

I need more of us to comprehend & internalize that quadrobics is a complex exercise that requires a lot of physical strength; one that most bodies have to take time to build up to.

If you’re not gonna beat yourself up for not being able to easily lift 150 lbs first try- don’t beat yourself up for quadrobics taking time. And additionally- be nice to your body for its reasonable limits! Not being able to walk on all 4’s doesn’t mean your body is bad; it just means it’s different

OKAY LAST POST OF THE DAY THEN I'M DONE–

This is something I was VERY nervous to post for some reason, but I've been SUPER into Elden Ring lately so, here's some designs I did for Archie and Maxie a few months back!!

( @abiding-by-the-laws-of-color and @ribbononline were huge inspirations for both the background and parts of the design process!! )

This took me about 3 weeks total because I had some struggles with them design wise (mostly Maxie, his gave me the most trouble), but in the end I'm VERY happy with them!! Maxie's minimal armor was inspired by the Black Knife Set, while Archie's is a mix of the Solitude Set and Relanna's Set and, had I drawn it, his helmet would've been like Guile's.

Ford and Fiddleford go to find Stan for whatever reason (idk, maybe Ford found out that his brother is in a tough spot and decided to go find him to help him) and they find Stan in a club, pole dancing, with people throwing money at him. Ford doesn't know whether he should stare or look away. Fiddleford slowly takes out his wallet.

thinking about Homura....

In both of the PMMM games I've been aware of (MR and ME) she's been put into the role of an attacker, but I don't think that quite fits.

like, yeah she's got guns and military weaponry and is cool as hell, but even in the latest timelines she was never able to beat walpurgistnacht on her own. I see wally as more of a metaphorical battle than a literal one in some ways- it can only be defeated via Madoka's death- but regardless.

I think it'd make more sense for her to either be a defense unit (her weapon is a shield and she wants to protect madoka), Support, or Debuffer (both things that she's very good at with her time stop powers)

Because she wants to be able to defeat any enemy in a single blow. she's worked so, so hard to become an attacker. But she's just not.

At the end of the day, she'll never be able to measure up to someone who's just got better stats.

I own a pyromancy flame for home defense, like the witches of izalith intended. Four invaders break into my castle. “What the devil?” As I grab my sage’s blindfold and fire orb. Burn a titanite chunk-sized hole in the first man. He’s dead on the spot. Cast my black flame on the second man. Misses him entirely cause the tracking sucks and nails the neighbours wolf. I have to resort to the chaos bed vestiges from the top of the ramparts. “Tally ho lads!” The flames shred two men in the blast. The aoe sets off traps in surrounding homes. Draw chaos dagger and charge the last terrified hollow cause I’m out of fp. He dies while trying to black crystal out cause the hit box is janked. Just as the witches intended.

it kills me that ros just wanted to be an architect. she just wanted to build castles that was literally it. but then foolish died and . SOMEHOW. she got thrown into the position of leader. and no one even asked her if she wanted that. it was just assumed. but she just wants to build. and now shes holding the responsibility of leader until foolish comes back and something something sword of damocles yknow

Something something about Eddie learning Buck will be there for him off the job, even without Chris being in the equation.

Something something about that being an important realisation for him to finally make because he’s always hidden behind his son when it comes to Buck (and his love life more generally - even Shannon in reality was for Chris not himself) but he won’t be able to this time.

Something something about that realisation being the key to giving himself permission to examine his heart and feel his true feelings.

I can't stop thinking about the post from a few days ago about how Critical Role has been great at doing personal faith but didn't put the necessary work in to discuss the religious/god angle of c3 in-depth. Like the fact that Cardinal Respa was linked to both the Dawnfather and the Chained Oblivion is, on a personal level, very interesting (fallen/corrupted priest goes hard) but like does that mean that there's a Papacy somewhere in Exandria dedicated to the Dawnfather? If so, are there more cardinals who ordain the bishops of the Dawnfather? Are there Conclave-level intrigues going on in the Dawnfather's Sistine Chapel? Why is the Dawnfather so Christianity-coded in vibes alone if there's no actual outline of his religious organisations? With Downfall the Dawnchild/Dawnfather thing makes the allusions to Christ as Son of God co-existing with the Father textual - was there a Dawnfather Schism around whether the Dawnchild was a separate mortal? Was there a Reformation about how the Dawnfather's Pope kept selling indulgences? Is that why the priest of the Dawnfather Grog & Pike offer a drink to doesn't partake because of a cultural shift between Protestant-Temperance-League-coded and Catholic-coded Dawnfather congregations? Why do I have so many questions about the religious organisation of one of the most important Prime Deities in Exandria and to Critical Role's 3 campaigns? How on earth were the cast (and us as the viewers!) meant to care about the gods if all they had were "really tall kings" instead of interrogating how religious organisations provide both a place of healing and community to a wide range of people and also a place of horrific harm and abuse for a wide range of people?
