Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - Xoloti’s Stronghold:

“Last level in the game and it’s our main bad guy, Xoloti. I’m surprised at how easy this fight is. There’s some annoying boss fights in the game, so I was pleasantly surprised that this one was easier than some of them, and even fun.”

​Gaming and Misbehaving: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

​Gaming and Misbehaving: Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light A superb Co-op game that's at its best when you're failing to be co-operative. #gaming #Coop #Multiplayer #blogpost #schenanigans #laracroft #tombraider #oldpost

Tomb Raider has always been a relatively sensible series. The odd magic item or mythical monster aside, the franchise is one that wishes to be taken seriously. We play these games for a more level-headed kind of fun. Well, there’s one place where Lara Croft can go to be silly… Last week I addressed the way in which I ‘misbehaved’ whilst playing Dishonored, taking the game (and myself) to a much…

Poison Ivy: Green Enchantment by Jade Gretz

Poison Ivy: The Serpent in the Garden

In the deepest recesses of Gotham City, far from the chaos of the streets and the constant war between light and darkness, there was a place untouched by the corruption of men. It was a sanctuary of nature, a garden that thrived amidst the decay of the urban jungle. This was Poison Ivy's domain��a lush, verdant Eden filled with the most exotic plants, their vibrant colors and intoxicating scents weaving a tapestry of life that seemed almost otherworldly.

But this paradise was not without its dangers.

Hidden within the winding vines and towering trees, beneath the carpet of blooming flowers and creeping ivy, lurked something far more sinister. It was a creature born of the earth, ancient and cunning, with eyes that glowed like burning embers in the darkness. It slithered through the underbrush, its scales gleaming like polished emeralds, its tongue flicking in and out as it tasted the air.

This was the Serpent, the guardian of Ivy's most precious secrets.

The garden was silent tonight, the usual chorus of chirping insects and croaking frogs muted as if the very air was holding its breath. Ivy could feel the tension in the atmosphere, a subtle shift in the balance of her sanctuary. She moved through the garden with the grace of a predator, her long red hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of fire. Her emerald-green eyes scanned her surroundings, alert to every rustle of leaves, every movement in the shadows.

She was the garden's protector, its queen, and she could feel when something was amiss.

Tonight, there was a trespasser.

The Serpent had not stirred in years, content to lie in wait beneath the earth, guarding the secrets that Ivy had entrusted to it. It was a creature born of her powers, summoned from the depths of the earth itself, bound to her will. It was her most loyal servant, her most deadly weapon. But now, it was awake, and that could only mean one thing—someone had come too close to the heart of her domain.

Ivy's bare feet moved silently over the soft ground as she made her way de …(see the rest of the story at deviantart.com/jadegretzAI).

For the OC ask game, 1, 6, and/or 20 for Thelasa!

Original Ask List

1) Does your OC have a voice claim, if so who?

For Thelasa, I imagine her being voiced by Keeley Hawes, who voiced Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider video games, particularly Legend, Anniversary, and Underworld (I never played Guardian of Light but I heard Hawes was in that one too).

Voice sample from Legend (28:00-29:06)

These three games were pretty big in my childhood gaming experience and I just loved Hawes' voice in these games, so full of wisdom yet pitching in a dry comment every now and then. That's how I pictured Thelasa in the late game, once the naivete wears off and she's in full-on adventurer mode~

I think one thing that makes Thelasa stand out in Morrowind despite being a Dunmer is her "Cyrodiilic accent," since "Dunmer with Western words and ways are also immediately identified as outlanders -- [they're] very sensitive to accents, clothes, and manners in Morrowind."

Patrick Stewart as Emperor Uriel and Sean Bean as Brother Martin have me settled on Imperials having British accents while TES3's Dunmer voices have me settled on them having American accents (I know this got flipped around in later in Oblivion and later games, but let me have this shhhhh).

6) If your OC is in a fantasy setting, what profession would they be in the modern day?

She'd probably be an archeologist, which is kinda what Thelasa does in the TES-verse anyway lol. Spend a chunk of the year exploring a bunch of tombs and ruins, then hole up indoors with her books and findings to write more books. Livin’ the recluse’s dream~

Well, Thelasa is only 28 during the events of TES III, so maybe she's getting her Ph.D. or something. She is of the scholarly type.

20) If they fight, what's their weapon of choice?

In combat, Thelasa primarily wields a sword (of the Long Blade skill line) in tandem with destruction magic.

She generally favors one-handed single-edged blades, but I’d say she’s equally skilled in double-edged and two-handed swords too.

I typically associate Thelasa with Goldbrand during the base game late Main Quest and early phases of Tribunal's Main Quest. I imagine that Goldbrand is one of the two artifacts she donates in "The Blade of Nerevar" quest. From that quest onward, she uses Trueflame (which comes in very handy during her Bloodmoon shenanigans).

Thelasa also wields magical staves (like the Staff of Magnus or a custom-enchanted Ebony Staff). While she would normally switch between sword and sorcery (thank you hotkeys), she can whack someone with the staff in case they get too close.

Thanks for the ask~

[ryunumber]

I can't find the template in the FAQ, so here's a route submitted this way: Raziel from Soul Reaver has a Ryu number of 2. Raziel (Soul Reaver) -> appears in Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light DLC, where Raziel replaces Lara using the DLC -> Lara Croft appears with Ryu in Brawlhalla. Alternatively, Raziel (Soul Reaver) -> in Tomb Raider: Legend, the Soul Reaver blade (Raziel is in the blade) is given to Lara when completing the game -> Lara Croft appears with Ryu in Brawlhalla.

Thank you for the submission!

Jess Watches // Sat 12 Oct // Day 379 & Sun 13 Oct // Day 380 Synopses & Favourite Scenes & Poll

Burn Notice (rw with L) 1x08 Wanted Man

Fiona decides to try bounty-hunting, but then convinces Michael to help prove the man innocent.

Michael/Jeffrey was struggling to walk normally while wearing thong sandals in an early scene and i'm not sure I processed much after that.

Summer Strike (with mum) Ep 7

Yeo-reum and Dae-beom bond as they spend more time together, but their growing closeness leaves Cho Ji-yeong with mixed emotions.

Until the end reveal I thought Jiyeong was A. I would've preferred it tbh. She's so confused and upset because it's actually Yeoreum she wants to be with. A "get out of my school" type thing.

Frasier (with mum) 6x21 When a Man Loves Two Women

Frasier has begun dating Cassandra Stone. Everything is going quite well until Faye Moskowitz comes back to town, remembering how much he enjoyed spending time with her.

Can Frasier please give Amy Brenneman's number to Daphne. I know she'd cherish her. And can she lend me her cropped tye-dye tshirt too.

Agatha All Along 1x05 Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power

With enemies closing in, the coven flees under the light of a blood moon to the next ghastly trial.

Rio: I hate to see her go but I love to watch her leave. Me, controlling the ouija board: G-A-Y

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft 1x01 A Single Step

When a high-tech thief steals a mysterious jade artifact from a Croft Manor, fearless archeological adventurer Lara Croft leaps into action to retrieve it.

I love playing the games, more for the exploring and collecting than the cultural storytelling, so I was aware of what this is. But watching Lara willingly desecrate an ancient temple and beat up the local guardians in the opening scene was still quite jarring. She wore a bi-flag coloured dress so that's one positive, I guess, lol.

Ignore the last option, idk wtf happened there.

[littleprincessfawn]

Trying to get back in touch with my sexuality, because I feel like my sense of self and my sexual side has taken a beating over the years from how badly my ex-husband treated me and then messed with my head.

I'm thinking back to the daydreams and fantasies I used to have as a teenager, you know, when you first start developing urges and feelings like that?

A list of fantasies under the cut ->

One of my most played fantasies was a kind of dark guardian angel, a male with black angel wings, wavy black hair, who would come and protect me. He lived in a stary night time realm. He could read my thoughts and he could feel when I cried or was scared and he would send his presence to comfort me. He appeared to me in dreams. I think his name was Damian. (Side note, no wonder I loved the Court of Mist & Fury book by Sarah J Maas so much!) The concept of this dark guardian angel protector figure lives deep in my soul and is maybe my most romantic/deep fantasy that means the most to me. I know he wasn't real but the idea of him got me through my dark times of childhood (looking back I consider my young teenage hood as childhood as I absolutely should have been protected by adults but I was not). Sometimes this dark saviour was linked to crows/ravens. Sometimes he was a vampire.

Another fantasy was me being a fallen angel, my wings injured or sometimes even ripped off, and a ranger found me in his forest. The ranger tended to be kind of gruff/blunt/quiet and had brown hair and stubble. He would take me back to his cabin in the woods, even though he hated people, but he had to heal me. Sometimes he kidnapped me and was cruel or kept me chained up, sometimes he was caring and sweet. In all my fantasies though he tended to my wounds and took care of me as I slowly healed, and he helped encourage me to fly again.

Another fantasy was of an Elvish Prince or noble son who would find me hiding in a tree and fuck me up on the tree branches. Idk what was with that. I guess I like nature? He would have long hair, either light brown or sandy blonde. Sometimes I'd be a peasant human or elf girl and be his childhood friend that he protected from bullies. Sometimes I'd be a stranger, a human princess who was lost.

Ohhh that reminds me another fantasy I had about being a runaway or exiled princess who was lost in the forest with a torn princess dress. All manner of things might happen to me, evil queens dominating me and poisoning me and keeping me as their slave girls, strong warrior men finding me and protecting me or degrading me (or a mixture of both!).

One fantasy I often had in some variation was either being a spoiled princess or a shy servant girl and there was a royal wizard who made me his apprentice. I was thirsty to learn magic to become powerful and he was happy to teach me... if I paid him with being able to use my body. As a spoiled princess he would humble me, it would be hate-fucking until he fell in love with me and I revealed I had a crush on him all along, I just acted like a brat. If I was a servant girl I was quiet, obedient, loyal and took whatever punishment he gave totally submissively, earning his grudging respect, and he encouraged me to step into my power.

I also had fantasies involving women, I mean first was of course meeting Lara Croft or Angelina Jolie and being taken for a ride on her motorcycle, and then she kisses me and corrupts me and I become her sidekick.

I definitely wanted to be Gabrielle to a Xena. I still very much have that Gabrielle type persona when I have a crush on someone, the loyal sunshine follower archetype.

I did often fantasise about a cruel witch or unseelie Fae princess or queen who would abuse me, slap me, whip me, chain me up, humiliate me in front of fantasy creatures and degrade me while I bore it all stoically, showing quiet grace that she could never take away from me. Lots of kissing and fae fruits.

Oh and don't even get me started on the sexual fantasies I had about being Persephone in Hades underworld with the pomegranate seeds. There's a reason pomegranate is my favourite fruit. In my fantasies he might have thought he was abducting me, but I always went willingly, though I may not have told him. I refused to tell him how attracted I was to him because I didn't want to give in, not to his lust, not to his power, until eventually he humbled himself before me and confessed his deep love for me, offering me the role of being by his side as his equal, as his queen. Only then did I tell him I loved him too, that I would willingly be his consort, and submit to him sexually.

I definitely had a thing for teacher/mentor and student/apprentice dynamic, and still do. I read a ton of Snape/Hermione fan fiction in those early days. I loved a stern teacher, or an encouraging teacher, who pushed me to be my best, to aim for perfection. And would punish me if I did wrong. I loved being a teachers pet. I still do, and had crushes on some of my university lecturers.

Oh the priestess fantasy! Okay I often had a fantasy either being a Greek priestess of a cult like maybe Diana, or later a priestess of Ishtar (once I learned of Ishtar/Inanna/Astarte, I think I was 18 then) and being a kind of forbidden fruit, a sacred holy woman. And some hot soldier and I having BIG lust between us but not giving in to temptation... until we finally do.

I fantasised and wrote erotica about Jeannie and Major Nelson from I dream of Jeannie, the idea of being some guys magical devoted sexy slave and calling him Master? Yes please!

These are all the fantasies I can remember for now, I'll add more if I remember any, but they were all the main things that I thought of, daydreamed about, got myself off to. Thinking about all of them now makes me feel good, they feel like my true desires, not impacted by other people.

I found a Tomb Raider tier list format on Twitter by @Larasglasses featuring all variations of the games, from TR1 to Reloaded, and decided to share mine.

As always, this isn't necessarily my "favourites" list, otherwise Legend would be on top, but more of a "which games are the best" and offer the most fun experience type of list, trying to make it as least biased as possible. I'll include the link for TierMaker below in case you feel like making yours.

Note: I haven't actually beaten all of these but I've definitely played them long enough, at one point or another, to be able to form an opinion. The ones I currently have access to and replay at least once a year are the PS1 games, LAU, the Lara Croft spinoffs and the Survivor games, so these are always the most fresh in my mind, the rest have been kind of stuck in place forever and Reloaded is still fairly new so it may eventually move higher or lower.

Lara Croft & the Guardian of Light - The Mirror’s Wake:

“Last level before we have to deal with the main threat of the game, and this is such a bittersweet level for me. If you don’t have some of the best weapons in the game, then you won’t have a very good time, because most of these enemies are very powerful and take forever to be killed.”
