#The Dark Curse

[polybius3d]

this is what happens when I have two fixations at once

[martianbugsbunny]

I'm sure someone else has already pointed this out but did y'all notice that extra little way Regina punked Snowing during the Curse? She co-opted Snow's place in Charming's life. She made it part of Storybrooke's...well, story, that she was the one who originally found comatose David. She found him. She stole Snow's job.

defying gravity but its mal and regina talking to each other before the dark curse

"... Now I see... its this face of mine. This no-good, plain, boring face!"

What's your favorite season?

[ersatz-anomaly]

Tfw you’re so stoned that autistic galaxy brain triggers as you infodump to yourself while listening to the final boss theme of The Darkest Lord and find meaning in the repeating sound bits that have been present throughout each stage of the game from Greenhorne, Neksdor, Realm of the Fey, Karkaton, Powdered Peaks, Peculia, Nimbus, The Sky Scraper, and even Otherworld itself

Craziest side effect of the dark curse is deyassifying everyone's style

“Chuuya wasn’t in Dark Era, why is he in this art??”

wdym, he’s right here 🤨

istg the moment i saw jayce d**th threats i realised how much i overestimated cognitive abilities of this fandom. they were just happy to jump on a hate train without taking a second to comprehend what even happened. "his mind [fucking] suffered", viktor told y'all himself. not to mention what horrors he saw in arcane backrooms. not to mention viktor literally wanted him to destroy the hexcore before he became jesus and literally dumped him because he didn't do it.

Do albino orcas survive well in the wild? I mean, they are apex predators with no natural enemies so them getting picked off from lack of camouflage shouldn't be an issue.

they survive just fine in terms of being easy to spot, but the real issue that large cetaceans like orcas face with albinism/leucism is...

sunburn!

unlike their naturally dark-backed relatives, these animals completely lack melanin and thus have ZERO protection from the rays of the sun, in an environment with literally no shade. (they can dive, but they're not spending enough time down there to make a whole lot of difference across the board)

sooooo repeated UV damage over their lifetime tends to just eventually give them skin cancer, which kills them.

sorry.

SO FOR ALL YOU HUMANS OUT THERE, A REMINDER:

[nuka-rockit]

something that is so funny to me is the solution to the "why does Durge have amnesia" subplot

no mystical curse, no magic potion, not a spell, no elaborate divine retribution for your failures.

no, Orin just got a really sharp stick, poked a hole in your skull and and got you an improv lobotomy . and put a worm in there

and every character who gets a chance to examine you basically goes WHOA there chief your brain is fucked up. like. thats just straight up brain damage. i cant fix that

We’re advertising a book for readers of adult romance and fantasy: The Coven by Harper L. Woods

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

This is a sexy, deliciously imaginative fantasy romance where The Magicians meets Ninth House with vampires.

Raised to be her father’s weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, Willow would do anything to protect her younger brother from suffering the same fate. Her duty forces her to go to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University—where the best and brightest of her kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment.

There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through her veins. The only animosity Willow faces comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises her just as much as she loathes him and everything he stands for.

But that doesn’t mean secrets don’t threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend.

Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen.

Thirteen promising students destined to change the world.

If the ghosts of Hollow’s Grove’s victims don’t kill them first.

I love Omeluum. But I don't think Omeluum likes Greygold.

The one time everything was going smoothly in the iron throne, was the one time Omuluum ditched teleported without Greygold i.e I fucked up. Do you know. Do you know how many nets Greygold had to dodge while heading back? Too. Too many.

Thankfully! Astarion, last lad around, stuck by the ladder just in casies. And, just in casies, Astarion continued to stay there while GG caught their breath by the ladder. Bat buddy wanted to make sure they both left at the same time. Heart-warming in retrospect!

Never heard squid buddy convey such- unrestrained choked up panic over Greygold's well-being. I was touched y'all.... Until I realized there's probably more than one reason why The Emperor would be so concerned, hueeeeh
