#I’m multifaceted

[bibuckagenda]

I’m in this weird balancing act of being so happy that Buck is exploring this part of himself and that Tommy is there to be a guiding hand and a good experience and I get giddy thinking about Buck getting butterflies but then I turn around and start muttering to myself that if Buddie isn’t endgame I’ll change the trajectory of Tim’s life you feel me???

Sometimes my response to homophobia is : “oh no :( why was I born this way. Why am I gay. I feel like a freak. I feel so different. Maybe there is something wrong with me. Maybe I should change”

And then other times it’s like: “ HAHAHAHAHAHW squirm you bigot!!! Squirm in discomfort over my homosexuality!!!! THERE ISNT ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!! PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY BOOBS PUSSY !!!!!!”

i don’t NEEED romantic love in the same way i don’t NEEED to tie my shoes. like odds are i’m not gonna trip, i’m gonna be fine. in fact, i’ve adjusted the way i walk to avoid tripping over my laces like i’ve cheated the system. and people like to remind me all the time that my shoelaces are untied and that i will literally die and explode if i don’t tie them. like it’s cool i will be fine i’ve gotten this far (thank you for your concern though). but if i get on an escalator, i MIGHT tie my shoes beforehand. or if the ground is super slippery i’ll do it. if not, i’ll just do very calculated hops or something. so like ultimately it really isn’t necessary but it’s nice sometimes to not have to do the extra steps and go out of my way, you know

you ever think about the fact that laios won not by being a monster but by being human.

monsters as we’ve seen throughout the manga are predictable, they have this rhythm to them that, once someone understands, can be used to take them out. take kelpies like anne where laios states that she is just a monster and cannot be trusted. even kensuke is “just a monster after all”, running away from danger when laios needs it most. kensuke is beloved by laios not just because he is a monster, but because laios, in human fashion, anthropomorphized him in his mind (giving him a name, etc.)

but people are different. they are multifaceted, non-monolithic creatures. long lived races are not all pious and apathetic towards short lived races as we see with marcille and senshi. chilchuck actively works against the prejudice against half-foots. tallmen from every region have their cultural differences as we see with shuro and laios/falin. even “demi-humans” like orcs have depth to them, having rich culture and values despite the general idea that they are a violent pillaging race.

even laios’ family and village, the nexus point for his dislike of people, have depth to them. though their parents did not actively protect their children, they did not wish harm on them either. the exorcisms performed on falin by their mother was harmful in laios’ eyes, but helpful in his mother’s perspective.

laios himself, despite loving monsters and hating humans, is so very painfully human. he hates humans but has risked life and literal limb to save his sister and his party. he loves monsters but is aware of their dangerous nature and spares them no mercy.

(big spoilers under the cut)

the winged lion mistook laios as a one dimensional entity, one which only operates on a one track mind without paradox. it thought laios to operate like a monster, and so it approached his desires like one. it believed that laios, being so obsessed with monsters, must behave like one as well, so completely disregarded the fact that laios could have something up his sleeve.

but laios is not a monster, he is human. he has ulterior motives, overlapping beliefs, contradicting values. it is his humanness that made him explain to his party what to do when things went awry. it is his humanness that allowed him to lie. lie to the world about his true plan as well as lie to the winged lion about his intentions.

sure laios WANTS to be a monster, that much is definitely true. but what he IS is a different story. laios is an unpredictable, sporadic, messy human being. it is that fact which the winged lion overlooked, and ultimately led to its downfall and laios’ victory.

Me watching the notoriously sexist sport I’m a fan of be sexist

[graciehart]

I think the x files is going to be my favorite fandom story to tell for the rest of my life because within the span of THREE (3) months, I have created 68 gifsets, joined a discord group, made msr playlists, helped organize an x files secret santa, and written my first EVER fanfic… all because I got an anonymous ask on tumblr saying I should watch the x files, to which my documented response was “um, I don’t know about that.”

Kingston Brown is the first D20 character I really got attached to. There was something about him that really resonated with me. He’s warm, he’s the voice of the city, he’s messy, he still loves his ex, he takes a down on his luck trans man in, he lives with his family. He IS New York City - he encapsulates one of the multitude versions of the true American Dream. December 21st? He’s making breakfast

Guys call me crazy but I think the crazy robots would get along swimmingly. The tragic fact that these two don’t have more art interacting is an offense in my rule book and I have come to remedy that. They say you must manifest what you want to see in the world and this is me doing that jskjsksp. I will take initiative! Enjoy a smidgen of Mr. Puzzles and Mettaton art then. Although I think the only reason they initially decided to co-host collaborate together here was the prospect of getting more stars/ratings- because that’s show business babyyyy leverage off of famous people for viewssss/j

Also here is version without the speech/dialogue bubbles! Just two gay bots being fabulous and gossiping or something (platonically. Or you could lean into this being a ship I don’t really care lol). Maybe they’ll exchange some advice about the logistics of incorporating musical numbers in the boardcasts without losing too much revenue on the budget idk. Because if you think about it Mettaton did a musical number in a dress with Frisk and then Mr. Puzzles had his whole Creative Control moment. And both where marvelous performances by the way absolutely slay ✨

My “toxic trait” is supporting the theatrical livelihoods of fictional computers who have committed atrocities, and they both will probably never make an apology video for the attempted murders and trauma inflicting. Wow so girlboss of them :))

(ISAT ACT 3/ ACT 4 OPTIONAL ACHIEVEMENT SPOILERS) Wanted to post more writing I did for @tealgoat In Tales of time au! Canonically speaking this is written with the intention of taking place after this event ( @felikatze did lovely writing for this scene and Teal did incredible artwork, so be sure to check out that post before reading this!) Writing under the cut:

< You are sitting at the Favor Tree. >

< You try to focus on writing in your journal. >

< No one..makes…a..sound. >

< Loop coughs forcefully and breaks the silence first. >

| “… So uh, Madame.. about what happened before just a while ago.. do you mind if we-“|

< Absolutely not. >

< “No.”>

< Loop looks at you in confusion. >

| “..No? What do you mean ‘no’, Madame this is clearly something we should talk ab-“|

< Your grip on your pen gets tighter than you’d like it to be. >

< You stop writing and look up at Loop. >

< “What is there to discuss, Loop?”>

< “I crossed a line and Siffrin reacted poorly. That’s all there is to it. He didn’t want to be touched, yet I insisted anyway.”>

| “That isn’t blinding fair! You can’t just assume that! You looped right back before he could even say anything!”|

| “For all you know maybe he would have liked the affection from you! Maybe you're not as scary as you think you are! If you had just-“|

< You doubt it. >

< You have had countless loops proving otherwise. >

< Every attempt of you trying to show your love for your family leaves them confused at best or genuinely terrified of you at worst. >

< There’s no point in trying to rewrite that part of the story now. >

< “Loop.”>

|…?!|

< “I know you’re only trying to cheer me up. The sentiment is appreciated, but I’d rather move on now.” >

< “To be completely truthful with you I don’t want to talk or think about this any longer than I have to.” >

< “..I don’t wish to trouble you with it. “ >

| “….But, Madame I-“|

< Loop sighs. >

< Their shoulders sag in defeat a little, before brightening in demeanor once more. >

| “Okaaayy! Well that’s fine by me!” |

| “Never was a fan of conversations spinning in circles anyhow! Teehee! You know me so well~!”|

< You look away from Loop and go back to writing. >

< “.. Mhm.. thank you. >

|…|

| “Anyway, you got a Memory for your troubles. I suggest not to check it out until you feel better later. I don't think you'd like me to tell you what it does.” |

| Moving on from all that now! So! How can I help you on this wonderful new loop?”|

GMs! Anyone who’s ever been a game master! Say something nice about your own GMing!

Ideas:

Specific aspects of GMing that you’re really good at (ex. worldbuilding, RPing, puzzles, plot hooks, running combat, developing NPCs)

Something that went down in a game that you’re proud of (ex. pulling off a big reveal, an NPC character interaction that was fun)

Something that you think your players appreciate about playing with you (ex. you find cool ways to weave in their PCs’ backstories, you’re funny and always have people laughing in stressful moments)

Gonna be so real: I adore the RQG characters so much BECAUSE they are flawed to hell and back. And I don’t mean “oh they’re all murderers!” No, I mean Zolf is a hardass. Hamid started out as a coward. Grizzop is utilitarian to a fault. Sasha can’t trust farther than she can throw for a good long while. Honestly I started the podcast obsessed with Hamid and by the time we got to Egypt I realized I would have HATED him IRL. But that’s why I LOVE them so much; they’ve GROWN. Hamid is taking charge and pushing past what he grew up learning. Sasha learns to open up and trust her friends without hesitation. I’ve currently just got to the part where Azu gives Zolf a bit of a dressing down. And I LOVE it. I love characters who grow and are ALLOWED to grow. I love seeing the people around them help them grow, and the people from their past either struggle with or embrace the change. It’s SO GOOD.

Also hot take but Lillian gets way too much hate, as a Hamid lover I think he deserved that slap.
