#Oh the tangled webs we weave

I work at a grocery store and every time someone gives me their ID to buy alcohol I tell them we have the same birthday

I'm crying. I was reading 5 Times at lunch but then a co-worker started chatting me up. We started talking about hot air brushes and I took out my phone to show her the one I use at home.

AS SOON AS I UNLOCKED IT, YOUR FIC POPPED UP AND I COULDN'T CLOSE IT BECAUSE MY PHONE IS LOW ON STORAGE AND RUNS SLOWER AS A RESULT. SO I SWIPED UP. AND IT FROZE ON THE PIC AND WARNINGS.

THE wARNINGS.

Your fic was fire but bestie, I have a reputation of being quiet and shy here at the office. Bestie, they can't know I'm reading smut on the clock.

Such a good read though. Love. It. To. Bits.

MATE NO😂🤣🤣🤣🤣OMFG STOP IT STAHHHHHPPP😂😂😂😂😂I am HOWLING!!!!!!

And oh god, that's one of the ones that I bolded smut in the warnings and everything 😆

If it makes you feel any better, I went to show my dad a picture of my dog recently and clicked tumblr instead of my gallery and the first post that popped up was some monsterfucker chat on my dash. Something about getting plowed by the pumpkin king complete with the book cover. Like, impaled by the awkwardness of not even my own fandom.

Thankfully my dad is very polite and plays dumb well so we just pretended it never happened.

Thoughts and prayers my gorgeous love.x

noticing someone you follow for one fandom, follows someone who you follow for a different fandom, but the fandom they share is a third entirely seperate fandom that you've got nothing to do with...

The theme of episode 6 really floored me. How long can a secret remain a secret before it becomes a lie? (Spoilers incoming!) Woo-hak had previously been just as confused as Mok-ha, and possibly more than her, so any theory of his being Ki-ho wasn't a lie, simply a mistake. Bogeol, on the other hand, knew the truth all along and kept it under wraps because it was a secret. He hadn't had to lie and say he wasn't Ki-ho because no one was asking. Mok-ha asking questions and Woo-hak learning the truth in episode 6 makes liars out of them all — he tells Mok-ha that Ki-ho is married (a lie) and Ms. Song tells Mok-ha to be a hairdresser instead of a singer (lying about her intentions).

And yet these lies are somewhat justified in that they're being told for the safety of Mok-ha and the family. But how long can these innocent lies remain innocent, spoken under the intention of keeping a secret, before they become unforgivable? I'd say that Mok-ha deserves to know the truth, especially now that it's not just a matter of knowing, but that her career and future could be actively shaped by Ms. Song's advice.

Rainer is such an evil shit. I was gonna tell you guys a horrible thing she did but she actually just went to church this morning and then hung out with the grandmas at brunch after. Sorry

[sorio99]

Okay, who had “Nintendo YouTuber AntDude directly referencing H.BomberGuy” on their 2023 bingo?

[longeyelashedtragedy]

cousin Jamie no,,,,,,,,what are you doing—!

[artapir]

Stealthed cyberspider, perhaps a "chase car" for the racing spiders, or a vector of rival corporate espionage, or a self-destructing agent deployed to eliminate incriminating evidence of such illegal unsanctioned incursions into a protected extrasolar ecological theatre...?

Oh, the way Jamie, Jamie, cousin Jamie gets into everything (pun intended) Franko cares about...

What went on in this photo?

"I can call Frankie, yeah, sure! - Hey Frank, look who I'm here with today! You might know him - "

And Mason smiles awkwardly, blushing. "Hey, gaffer."

[bifuriouswaterbender]

Not me editing the first chapter of He's All That wanting to post it today but also wanting to finish my bingos off with it as the free space for both, so I've got the last prompt doc open like I'm going to magically finish that today to post first.

😈 "Listen up, big guy, I got three good reasons why you should just walk away. Number one, look at that wip, it's got that sissy, stringy plot thing!"

😇 "We've been through this. It's art, and you know it."

😈 "Oh right, that's art, and that's continuity."

😇 "Twists!"

sorry, the quote was from your response to the question about Jack obeying orders, it was posted on April 7✌️

Ahhh, okay! Perfect! Thank you😘

So, in that universe, in the context of that ask/scenario, remember Jack would never have told Allison he was HYDRA. Much the same way Brock didn’t offer that info either. But his line of thinking in that ask is dependent on the circumstances that are framed in that “what if…?”

From the ask:

“If he were at her mercy, would that be the moment for him? He wouldn’t beg for his life, but he would beg for her- to join him (bc they want the same thing- peace, and if she just gave him the chance to explain it all, she would see it didn’t matter who he worked for).”

In that moment of fear, to literally have his life in her hands as she’s calling him a traitor, that is the line of thinking he would have. It’s an act of desperation. He wants to keep her, doesn’t want her to leave him or be disgusted by him, or any other bad way it could go. The reasons he is Hydra don’t matter because doesn’t she want what they promised him? Peace, order. How could she not agree?

He didn’t care who it was for when he signed up because it’s all the same bullshit that everyone in power promises by saying they know better than “the enemy”. HYDRA just pays better and recognizes talent. He wasn’t just another cog in the machine, like he was to the Army. To HYDRA, he’s a valuable asset, necessary and worth the investment. All the things he and Allison both did as SHIELD equated to good HYDRA was doing. It’s all shades of grey and being a part of it never bothered him any more than the Army’s agenda did. And Allison is smart and has seen the real world, like him. How could she not understand?

It bets everything on the hope that she loves him as much as he loves her. It’s just what he does for a living and that’s not what she loves him for, right?

Portrait spamming

Recent discovery. If you click on the portraits of the characters like crazy, they will react to it. And the developers had a lot of fun coding these reactions xD

Tav / Dark Urge

stealth - What's that ticking? - Is it me? Am I ticking? - Bomb in my head about to go off. Great. - Ah, well. I had a good run.

Astarion

normal - Why do beautiful people taste better? It hardly seems fair on the ugly - they have such wonderful personalities. - Ugh. Strahd wouldn't put up with this shit. - More like Drizzt Don't'Urden - no. No that's not funny. - Villains! Dissemble no more, I admit the deed! Tear up the floor - here, here! It is the beating of his hideous hea- oh, no, that's his brain. Where did I leave that heart?

combat: - I'm trying to focus on murder. - *Humming.* - I shot a svirfneblin in Menzoberranzan just to watch him die. - I should've been a drow. They have such stylish armour.

stealth - Shhh. Just think sneaky thoughts. - Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP. - Be very, very quiet - I'm hunting idiots. - I've got a brand new torture chamber, so come and play with me.

Karlach

normal - NOTE TO ACTOR/DIRECTOR: Blow a raspberry at the player. - Don't. Poke. The Karlach. - Who am I? - My eye!

combat - Eyes on the prize - we need to win this! - Not every soldier should've made it out of training. - Eyes on victory, tummy on dinner. - I ought to just burn this whole thing down.

stealth - My back can't take much more of this. - Not now, I'm being a sneak! - I'm getting too old for this nonsense. - I'm not built to crouch.

Gale

normal - I hope Halaster takes good care of Tara while I'm away. - Sembian wine; Cormyrian boar; Waterdhavian conversation. It's the little things you miss while on the road. - Oh, what a tangled Weave we web! - All the world's my stage and you're just a player in it.

combat - Just go for the Magic Missile and fire away. Never fails. - Don't make me go all Edwin Odesseiron on you. - Get. Out. Of. My. Head. - I really wish I could cast a Hold spell on you.

stealth - You made me hide, don't make me come seek you. - Gods, it's like trying to sleep with a mosquito in the room. - A little privacy please. - Stop it - that tickles.

Wyll

normal - Could do for a brew. - Where there's a 'Wyll', there's a 'y'. - Ever get the sense that someone's watching? - So two halflings walk under a bar...

combat - Can't hear myself think! - Wear your scars proudly. - As my father once told me: 'Can we get on with it?' - I find moderation is key.

stealth - Bad time for an itch. - Could do for a brew. - So two halflings walk under a bar... - Shush. No, really. Shush.

Lae'zel

normal - Must everyone be so exhausting? - Weapons high. Standards higher. - Is perfection too much to ask? - Pride is a virtue.

combat - I will know my queen! - There is no right or wrong, only truth. - What is the point, if not victory? - You are right to fear me.

stealth - Hush already. - There is no wisdom in madness. - Is perfection too much to ask? - There is but one way. Vlaakith.

Shadowheart

all modes - I wonder how I'll feel when I remember everything. - Strange. I've had more freedom this past while than my whole life... - Have to keep focused. Can't afford to get attached - to anyone. - If I succeed, maybe I'll be allowed a pet... ugh, stop being silly.

Halsin / his voice is currently bugged :(

normal - What I would not give for a chunk of fresh honeycomb... - Such attention... I never realised I was so popular. - Are you feeling lonely, perhaps? - Unwise, perhaps, to poke a bear this much...

сombat - Battle is afoot - you can poke me once we are safe. - Perhaps try attacking the enemy? - Admirable stamina, yet terrible priorities. - You are insistent, are you not?

stealth - Most consider it unwise to poke a bear. - My, you are eager, are you not? - Please. I am trying to be stealthy. - Calm yourself. There is plenty of me to go around.

Jaheira

normal - Oh, calm down. I'm happy to see you too. - I would poke you back, but I fear that's what you want. - My, such strong wrists. - Well you certainly have the 'omnipresent' part down, don't you? - Please go poke the ranger instead.

combat - You have my attention - now do something with it. - What? What do you want!? - Do you know, I begin to wish they had never brought me back. - Yes, yes, have your fun. It isn't you they're trying to kill.

stealth - Dry those sweaty palms and let us try this again, shall we? - Argh, my knees! Oh. It was a twig. - Would that I could hide from you, too. - Careful, or I will take your toy away from you.

Minsc

normal - ARGH! My EYE, Boo! They went for my EYE! - Know that if you poke Boo, no higher dimension will keep you safe! - Heehee. Heeheeheehee. - Well, Boo? How do you want to do this?

сombat - Are you perchance a squeaky wheel in need of a kick? - I am armed! Armoured! And entirely sick of your foolishness. - I begin to grow annoyed. It is well for you that Boo does not let me learn the bad words! - Ignore them, Boo. Let them gaze deep into their own abyss, and wonder just what it is they are trying to achieve.

stealth - A little to the left? But not so hard you make me giggle. - Boo...? Are you dancing down there, or...? - Hush! I am surprising Boo for his birthday! He is... uh... eh... how old do hamsters get...? - I am the night. A pity, then, that it is so bright out.

Minthara

all modes - You had my attention, now you have my fury. - Phlar Lolth ssinssrickla. - Your suffering will be spectacular. - Stop, or die.
