#OK SO RAMBLING INCOMING
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Text
I can tell this playthrough is my favorite because I just spent 30 minutes buying dye for everyone's armor based on what I think they'd like to celebrate finishing all their personal quests. An in character shopping trip where my Tav was like, "We've come so far, and we need to look good for the ending! Everyone's getting new drip, my treat!"
Whereas last time, I didn't care about outfit cohesion in the slightest.
Anyway I'll be ranting in the tags about my choices if anyone cares.
#baldur's gate 3#bg3#OK SO RAMBLING INCOMING#Shadowheart got custard and pink rose because she was tired of purple and black#and i thought something bright and fun would suit her#Karlach got boreal blue because blue looks good on her and she totally knows it#that one was mostly personal preference tbh#Astarion got lush burgundy because its described as being worn by wealthy people#and he has an image to maintain so of course#Wyll got faewild green and dun because he spends a lot of time in the wilderness#and it may or may not be a subtle message from my archfey warlock#Gale has dark amethyst because the man likes purple and looks stunning in it#Lae'zel got sinful red on bone white and i dont think that needs explaining#and my Tav Talice has peach and apricot because its a gorgeous color combo and i liked it#Halsin Jaheira and Minsc didnt get anything because they look fine as is#and also tbh they aren't part of my Squad#i love them all dearly but they're like the overworked parents and uncle for the crew#this was a Kids Only shopping trip

JUST FINISHED MY STUPID LITTLE PDBC COMIC 🦅🦅🔥🔥🔥 it’ll be scheduled to post on the 13th because the comic is about the briar zome and if you remember The Lore™️, the briar zome can only be accessed on Friday the 13ths so I figured it’d be fitting to post it then been if it means delaying it a bit (wasn’t actually planned that way, it just so happened that the week I finished it was the same week as a Friday the 13th, lucky coincidence)
#LONG TAG RAMBLE INCOMING OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH#ok so admittedly I am NOT really pleased with how it turned out I gotta be honest#I’m posting it anyway obviously but as a disclaimer I do Not think it’s a good representation of. anything#it’s not egregiously bad I think I just don’t think it encapsulates the energy of pdbc (HEARTBREAKING)#I’m cutting myself some slack because it’s really the first ever long-ish pdbc related comic I’ve made so#there’s a learning curve and I’m ok with that I guess#it’s admittedly hard to translate to comic form because pdbc is for the most part a mess of miscellaneous ideas#and I love it that way. I really do. it’s so fun to write complete nonsense#but trying to string it together IS hard as one could imagine#so! what I’m trying to say!! it’s not my proudest work and I don’t want it to be taken as the overall quality of anything I make#I did have fun making it though so I will probably make more in the future#so hopefully I can improve over time just DONT LOSE FAITH IN ME PLEASE!!!#I’m gonna work on some character designs before anything so I have more to work with in the future#so just WAIT FOR ME TO IMPROVE PLEASE I am but a MERE CHILD!!! (SORT OF) (TECHNICALLY IN THE EYES OF THE LAW)#and genuinely PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK PLEAAAAASEEEE OUUGHHH#very gentle feedback because I have paper thin skin and Will Actually Fucking Cry over heavy criticism. so.#full disclosure i know the art is pretty bland. that was for the sake of time and I am fully aware I should’ve put more effort into it#therefore I’m lookin more for feedback on the writing and stuff. my writing style might be a bit off#< in the sense that I tend to write dialogue more casually. I have trouble scripting it out I just kinda write what flows naturally#but that can cause problems for pacing (speaking of pacing the pacing is bad too#but that’s because of the 10 image limit on mobile!! had to cram it into ten pages boooo)#so uh. yapping over. it is essentially a beta test of what Could be. so keep that in mind#hopefully it is somewhat enjoyable for you guys?? 👍👍

JFC.#the amount of bullshit regarding my appearance i had to work through to accept myself because of everyone constantly commenting on my weigh#leave me the fuck alone#UGH#tbd

WARGH SONA REF..... because I couldn't bring myself to actually get rid of my past ones haha....... i like robots can you tell???
#robin draws things#robin's personas#kittybot (sona)#butterbot (sona)#robin (sona)#[DESIGN RAMBLE IN TAGS INCOMING]#kittybot i think changed the least with just some minor tweaks to make it look more robot ish#also took the chance to make it more clear that the ears are speakers!#butterbot for as much as i liked the design was bit too complicated(tm)- both on myself and other people OTL#so i removed and simplified without going to far away from the og design#and of course the more recent robin didn't change much either just kinda made it a bit easier to draw#sorry double tailed robin i loved thee but alas#(its ok butterbot has 2 tails lmao)#also as funny as butterbot being human sized was funny i did change that bc i always. forgot lmao.#now they are. the same size as sonc t hedgehonk (it was unintentional i swear)#don't ask me why i can just remember sonic's height of the top of my head like that idk why either#ALSO lowered the amount of emote colours it felt kinda unnecessary tbhh#hi if you read all that i hope you have/had a nice day :3

Read the new sekai story. Not ok.
#rat rambles#sekai posting#I have my complaints but. not with the writing like holy shit#this was the most uncomfortable and scary sekai event Ive read and thats a high bar#its litterally so well written and also hply fuck is it physically painful to read#mafuyu's mom is so. slimy. and creepy. and manipulative. I fucking hate her. Im so scared for mafuyu#obviously theyll be ok eventually this is sekai but. things are probably abt to get rapidly worse for mafuyu#this is the breaking point Ive been waiting for. right now the cracks are simply expanding but soon things might get Rough#the wall mafuyu built between their two lives is wearing so thin and its fucking terrifying#its been literally so painful watching mafuyu trying to stop it and now having to face the incoming collapse when shes not ready#but she never will be ready. not as long as she still holds onto the desperate belief that her mother cares. that her mother loves her.#mafuyu is so fucking terrified rn its horrible to watch. I legitimately felt like crying. holy shit this event#now I will say. this was a great mafuyu event. why are they the fucking 2 star hello#I have mixed feelings on this as a kanade banner but even asside from that why the fuck is mafuyu the 2 star like wtf??#was it rly that important to have mizuki be one of the 4 stars??? did they rly need to be one of them????#like mizuki should have been the 2 star imo#if I had it my way itd be kanade mafuyu and kaito as the 4 stars ena as the 3 star and mizuki as the 2 star#ena and kaito could be swapped but since its kaitos intro I think he deserved it more#speaking of ena taking that 'the only one who can protect you is yourself' and running with it babeyyyyyy#adds that to my ena mommy issues arsonal (thats literally the only thing I have in there rip)#also the way you can feel everyone's development so strongly in this event#they still have a long way to go as individuals and a unit but theyve come so far from the start#mafuyu is in fact now most due for 25ji I think so. time to mentally prepare myself for the storm to come#I wont lie tho I am losing my mind over this event as a mafuyu fan but I am also disapointed in it as a kanade one#like dont get me wrong kanade has some rly good moments but. this does not sooth my worries abt the direction shes going#I just dont like that this was a kanade event about mafuyu. from the kanade fan perspective this was like one of the worst case scenarios#kanade desperately needs more stuff actually about her. Im scared she just straight up wont get it :(#so yeah. mixed feelings on this event from a kanade perspective but dear god is it good otherwise

excited and also ScaredTM to see soundcheck this weekend
#so much unexpected stuff lmfao i knew about very few songs they were gonna play and in terms of stage production i was only aware o the dice#and some confetti i guess but yea most of it was just a really neat surprise#spoilers for 5sos show setlist incoming but#i cant believe they didnt play no shame. i wont ever forgive them for that#easier is still fucking Here but not no shame???#overall i was pleasantly surprised by the setlist but i think with perspective a couple choices have me personally bummed out#from my own preferences#like. no shame and complete mess were MissedTM#and with that perspective. i coulda done without outerspace I KNOW unpopular opinion#it was a surprise BUT honestly for me. it was not a good one LOL#id fully expected to have put that song behind them after the rah tfofu concert#but i guess it was less an honorable goodbye as much as a re introduction of it idk#i was really happy to see a bunch of songs coming back tho! gives me hope for any eventual future concerts that no shame will be back#YES i have a one track mind LISTEN. it is my Favorite and it deserves Better#ok i have rambled enough. these are my hot takes i have a couple more but i do wanna reiterate im overall really fcking happy abt it all lol#just bitter that they would play fuckcing Dont Stop but not NO SHAME IN 2023!!!!! SHAMEFUL#anyways the show itself was so fucking fun goodbye#teresa.txt

immortal who makes a bunch of new friends who then all become friends with each other and they're like this is Great i am going to get a good grade in friends and a good grade in being normal and mortal and no one is ever going to know
and they spend so much mental energy on making sure that none of their friends realize they're immortal that they don't even realize that all of their friends are doing the exact same thing
#someone's special interest is someone else's 'i lived through that moment/series of events/the invention of that/met that person'#they're all terrible at hiding it but none of their friends say anything bc ''what are the odds would x be immortal too? that's ridiculous#i must be projecting'' and bc none of them call each other out on it they all think they're sneak masters#''it's never worked this well before'' well it's working this well NOW they must've just gotten REALLY REALLY GOOD ok??#or maybe the asshole who stabbed them in the back three hundred and forty six years ago was just THAT SMART#meanwhile the barista who's been working at their favorite coffee shop for the past 16 years is like. i don't get paid enough#to notice any of this and it would lose us our most steady source of income so i'm just going to keep my mouth shut#ramble#prompt#?

[Image ID below!]
[Image ID: A digital doodle-page of Professor Venomous, Lord Boxman, and Fink, drawn in a messy pixel style. The background is mostly grey with bright squares of pink, purple, and red scattered across it.
Venomous stands with his hands casually resting in his lab coat's pockets, while Fink sits on the ground next to him with paper and crayons. Many blank speech bubbles point from Fink as she excitedly rambles about her drawing. Venomous is not paying attention, staring off into the top right with a considering expression, faintly blushing.
The top right shows his thoughts. On the very right, Boxman is tackling Venomous in a hug while a bright explosions lights up the background. Boxman is squinting at the viewer with a smug smile. Venomous is catching him, also grinning evilly at the viewer, his snake tongue bit between his teeth. Both of their lab coats are splattered with blood. The top left shows Venomous' snake form, focussed on his teeth and curling tongue. Blood drips from his mouth. In the background, Boxman stares with a wide-eyed look of appreciation, pressing both of his pointer fingers together as he blushes deeply.
A cut-in panel in the bottom right shows Venomous covering his mouth with his hand, sweat beading his face as he frowns thoughtfully. Question marks float above him, surrounding a drawing of a box and a heart. /.End ID]

Interference Part 2
Prompt: You run to your FBI neighbor when you and your boyfriend get into a fight.
Part 1
You shut your laptop with a frustrated sigh and crossed out the last address you had written down on your pad of paper. The last two days you had been searching for a place to rent, only to be turned down due to your bad credit or limited income. You didn’t have the privilege of asking your family for help, most of them had shunned you once you got into your relationship and the few that did still speak with you were in no position to lend you money.
Your phone rang again for the 3rd time in 30 minutes, a blocked number popping up on the screen. You had ignored it the last 2 times for the fear that it was your boyfriend, but he should still be in jail with no chance of making phone calls, right?
Deciding it wouldn’t really hurt to answer it, you slid the call open and instantly regretted it once the familiar devious voice spoke to you.
“Hello bird,” he greeted with fake sincerity, using the pet name he made for you as a jab at your eating habits. The fear shot through you just as hard as the other night, rendering you speechless.
“I’m out baby. I’ll be home soon and we can sit down and talk about everything. Hopefully you were able to get the house cleaned, it was a mess the last time I was there.”
He didn’t get a chance to say anything more before you ended the call. Anxiety and fear began creeping into your body, making you scramble to grab a luggage bag from the closet before shoving some clothes, toiletries, and your laptop in it. Running into the living room, you peeked out of the curtains, hoping to see Aaron’s car in the driveway. No such luck.
So grabbing your keys, you left the house, not even bothering to lock it and threw your luggage into the backseat of your car. You tore out of the driveway and down the street like a bat out hell, unsure exactly how far away your boyfriend was. As reckless as driving 50 in a residential was, you took your chances of being pulled over and put as much distance between you and that house before dialing Aaron’s number at a red light.
“Hotchner,” he answered professionally from the other line.
“Aaron. He got out. I don’t know how, maybe his mom paid his bail. He called me and said he was on his way to me.” Your words were fast and frantic. You would've continued rambling had Aaron not stopped you.
"Y/N. Just take a deep breath for me, alright?"
The light turned green and you did as he instructed, taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, it doing very little to calm your frazzled nerves but appreciated it regardless.
"Now do you have anywhere you can go, maybe a friends house or family member? Somewhere you'd be safe?"
"No," you spoke. "I don't have any friends and most of my family disowned me when I got into this stupid relationship. The rest of them live on the West Coast."
There was a pause of silence as you felt him thinking over the phone. Most likely figuring out the easiest way to get rid of you and your problems.
"Alright. I have some down time before my meeting in an hour. Why don't you come by and we can figure out a plan. I'll send you the address, just take the elevator to the 4th floor."
A second later you felt the buzz of your phone from the incoming text message. "Ok. Thank you so much Aaron. And I'm so sorry for taking up your time." Tears threatened to fall but you held them back.
"Don't be sorry, Y/N. I want to help you. Don't worry, we'll get this all sorted out. Just text me when you arrive."
"I will," you replied before you both said goodbye and hung up. You put the address in your navigation and drove mindlessly through traffic, so many thoughts going through your head it made you want to scream.
The address wasn't too far from your own homes, arriving there in less than an hour and heading into the very drab looking building before taking the elevator, texting Aaron that you had arrived on the way up.
You had just made it to the front desk before seeing Aaron headed in your direction, giving the receptionist a small smile. "She's with me Lonnette, thank you."
You waited as Lonnette printed your visitor badge and handed it over with a friendly smile before following Aaron through the floor, passing by glass offices and cubicles. You were quiet, not really in the mood for small talk which you felt he sensed and didn't bother saying anything as he lead you up some stairs to an office that you presumed was his by the gold name plaque on his desk.
"Have a seat, please," he offered politely, closing the door and walking over to his side of the desk. "Would you like something to drink? Water? Coffee?"
You shook your head. "No thank you. I appreciate the offer though."
He unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down, moving some files to the side. "So I'm genuinely surprised to hear that he's out of jail. You said you think his mother bailed him out?"
"Yeah. I don't think she knows anything about what happened but whenever he asks her for money, she just sends it to him. I think she feels guilty for never being in his life so giving him money when he needs it helps her feel better about it." You rung your hands together, anxious about the whole situation as well as being there, talking with a man that was pretty much a complete stranger, bugging him for help.
"And he called you afterwards, telling you that he was on his way? Did he seem upset?" His tone was curious as if trying to get every piece of puzzle to fit perfectly in order to build an accurate idea of who your boyfriend was. It made sense considering his profession.
"I don't know. He's really good at hiding his anger until he snaps. He was talking like nothing had happened and we were just going to go back to normal." Your head whipped towards the open window blinds where someone was just walking by, Aaron noticing your jumpy behavior immediately.
"You're safe here. No one knows anything about what happened except you and I," he reassured you, making you relax just a little. "I don't think he'll be out of jail for long though, at least until he sees the judge for arraignment. I will personally see to that."
His words brought you a bit of placidity and hope as you still wondered why he would go through such lengths to help you out.
"I do have a small flat not far from here that I use occasionally for late nights at the office when I don't want to drive all the way home. You can stay there for now, until you find a place of your own if you'd like. Completely up to you, I don't want you to feel pressured."
Your eyes looked up from the floor to meet his, surprised by his offer.
"I- uh. I couldn't impose on you like that-
"You wouldn't be. I barely use it anymore, I prefer to be at my home with my son whenever I can."
Son? He has a son. Of course he does. He probably also has a wife or at least a girlfriend since you didn't see a ring on his finger. The thought of him with a son didn't bother you, in fact it only gave you more of a reason to trust him.
"If you're sure you don't mind," you said, trying not to sound too excited, relieved that you wouldn't have to go back to your boyfriends house. "Please let me pay some sort of rent or something though. It's the least I can do."
He shook his head no, his expression soft and nonchalant. "Don't worry about it. You're gonna need the money for your new place. Just promise me that you won't contact him or go back to that house unless you have some sort of escort, preferably by law enforcement."
You could be my escort.
You nodded in agreement, ignoring your thoughts.
“Alright then. I can send you the address and give you the keys now. I'm not sure if the fridge is stocked but feel free to add or throw anything away. There is a washer and dryer there so you can wash the sheets and anything else you need." He pulled his keys from his desk drawer and removed a ring with a single key on it, holding it out for you.
You took it gratefully and stood with him as he buttoned his suit back up and checked his watch.
"Could I at least make you dinner or something?" you blurted, not sure where such confidence came from. "I mean, I just want to do something for you in return for your incredible generosity." You couldn't stop the blush from burning your cheeks, your words successfully embarrassing yourself.
A small smile played at the corner of his mouth, showing off just the slightest sight of dimples. "I'll be with my son tonight but maybe we could grab a coffee sometime tomorrow."
You smiled back, more than satisfied with his offer and followed him out of his office, feeling a few stares from people but avoided eye contact. Aaron walked you back to the receptionist and even had her add you as a contact so visiting would be an easier feat.
"Thank you again Aaron," you spoke, the anxiety you had been feeling for the last few hours, finally beginning to dissipate. He answered with a friendly nod and you entered the elevators. Once the doors closed and you were completely alone, you took in a deep breath. Maybe everything was going to be ok like he said.
