Imagine being a normal spectator or participant at the workshop battle thinking you'll score some cool items while you're at it and the next thing you know you're stuck watching some drama between an edgelord cult, some random friend group, some mad scientists, and some crazy incels who thought the waifu chatbot they were talking to is real

[hellsiteliveblogs]

Love my computer buffering on this frame of Prince

[perilegs]

is there anything that points to how exactly it is chosen which god someone's vallaslin will represent? da wiki says "They still revere the elven pantheon, and in a ritual to commemorate reaching adulthood each member of a tribe will have the symbol of their chosen god tattooed on their face." but there's no source for that and ive never before seen that in game so idk. ive always thought someone else picked it for the elf in uestion but being able to pick it yourself makes sense with the reflecting on gods stuff

[lichposting]

Crazy shit happening lately btw

Liveblog: Wakfu Season 1 (episode 20, The Tree of Life)

I like to think he was looking for any sign of Armand being a sussy baka, or, alternatively, Armand being actually worried about the things he's been told.

Sadly, Joris finds neither.

I like to think that Joris and Amalia&Eva have a good pre-established relationship for the following reason: it's shown to be good enough for him to get onto the balcony and for them to be immediately happy about it, instead of going "what the hell are you doing here?" or "were you spying on us? (he was. even if it is for the good of the world.)"

Maybe that's another reason Armand hates him — besides Joris insisting on the instructions that were given to him and not bowing down to Armand's ~power~ — Joris may be a yet another person who likes his sister more.

Btw Joris is doing batshit insane tower climbing again, just like in the Ush comic.

Never change, king.

Get ready for my deep, deep, insightful commentary into what the fact that Joris believes that no issue is insolvable implies within the context of his "has seen countless human deaths" life:

I think I hauve covid.

Do you think one of the solutions that he has for issues is to wait it out and watch, as the walls of the prison that are "circumstances of life", start to decay?

Translation from politespeak: "I am going to cause a political incident with your cringe brother to help you tell your father about Nox's plans."

I love how ready he is to beat people up. And to cause a political incident.

Joris after getting down from the balcony railing, now suddenly very much below everyone in the room, in a matter of fact voice: After I slam the tree stump on the floor to create a loud sound, — and probably damage said floor, sorry, — you are going to scream that the iop returned. I will keep hitting random things until they run in. When the guards do run in, I beat them to unconsciousness with my magic wand. You can also hit them if you want, — yes, yes, you can use the candelabra, or any other metal object in the room, — but do not hit them on the head without me! It's very easy to accidentally kill a person, when you're not used to beating them to unconscious on a relatively regular basis.

Bugs when you lift a rock.

God knows, Joris is extremely aware of how bad the thing he just did is, and how much trouble he'll be in afterwards. God also knows that Joris probably doesn't give a shit.

The little slam... The commanding voice... He's everything.

When Joris is this polite, he is either angry as fuck and can't do anything about it, or angry as fuck and about to beat you to death.

This little "I insist" is so uncalled-for. He's just mocking them at this point, considering what he is about to do.

Something I really noticed this time around, is that Joris really likes kicking things. He kicked Pinpin, he kicked these guys... This is a trait he gets from Kerubim, sure, but he takes kickmaxxing to another level by, very cockily, doing half this battle with his hands behind his back on a simple whim.

He is the same exact type of an insane, prideful asshole as Kerubim. It maddens me when people think he's actually humble and normal just because of his introversion and more low-key facade.

He may not scream "I'm smarter and better and stronger than every loser in this room" outwardly like his father, but exudes the same exact noxious aura nonetheless.

You know why I also think Joris thinks of Amalia and Eva well?

He put this little show on, — fighting two simple guards with pirouettes, hands behind his back, and a little touch of magic, — just for them. We know what he actually fights like when he means it. And it has none of this insanity.

You see, he points out his ability to fight off an army of simple, normal people, all alone. And on one hand it's just reassuring Eva and Amalia that they have nothing to fear...

...and on the other hand, it makes me think he likes it when random teenagers think he's cool and awesome.

Even though this blog is crepinjurgen-focused, I want to say that this is one of my favorite wakfu episodes. This scene always makes me tear up.

Anyway do you think Joris just carries with him ropes to tie enemies with whenever he goes — or did he take a rope from somewhere within the castle? How often does this happen? Does he do this as a torture method too? Does he—- [I am removed by the secret police by being way too insane today]

Still using vous, despite hating his ass.

[guy who made a blog that's 33% dedicated to talking about doomed siblings] Yeah it's so sad that even Tot doesn't understand Clephee's potential, and how insane her relationship with Eva is. Imagine loving your sibling, but they never feel good enough, and they keep leaving you. They turn everything into competition, never celebrate your wins because they feel like their losses. Imagine speaking so little — being so distant, that when you have a happy dream of that sibling, it's them as a child, way back before. And imagine that this sibling wants to turn you into a fur coat— [I am electrocuted]FHDSJHDFJKsdhfsdhfERR-

There are so many people unconscious and Joris is actually freaking the fuck out, which makes me think that, for the past 10-20 minutes in-universe, he and Armand have been doing the Joris whack-a-mole thing.

Like, Joris is actually alarmed/bewildered by the fact that Armand will literally not listen to a single fucking word and just keeps mindlessly punching the floor.

Is he insane? Is he for real?

At this point, he's worried for the guy's health. This has been happening for a while. He sounds scared.

Like Armand keeps hurting himself in his attempts to beat Joris up and it's scaring Joris shitless because it's actually starting to get a little bit weird and off-putting.

Yet he turns around so nonchalantly.

Dragon Age Veilguard liveblogging, starting the endgame -

One final bit of running around treasure hunting before we go to the point of no return, and I found these guys:

Dungeon Meshi???

The very first view of the ritual site and the first thing we see is Falon'din of all the possible gods looming large beneath the eclipse - which, first of all, Rook's god of choice, also, death; Lucanis was so pessimistic about our odds during that last talk and now Rook's staring his own personal god of death in the face.

The Lighthouse but at the ritual site? Elgar'nan did complain that Solas was copying one of his towers, he was not lying, down to the green streamers.

WHY IS IT ALWAYS NEVE, EVERY TIME THERE'S A DECISION WHERE ONE OF MY COMPANIONS GETS HURT IT ALWAYS WINDS UP BEING NEVE, IN THE PROLOGUE, MINRATHOUS VS TREVISO, NOW SHE'S KIDNAPPED, IF SHE SOMEHOW WINDS UP BETRAYING ME I WILL DESERVE IT

...WELL I GUESS IT'S NOT ONLY NEVE THIS TIME.

WELL. SHIT.

I guess technically one of the companions was keeping secrets. Rook, from himself. I did think it was odd Varric never had conversations with the other companions outside the big group scenes (and I guess he must not have actually interacted with them in those scenes, huh, just talked to Rook), no one ever visited him in the infirmary the way all the other companions visit each other, but I was thinking along the lines of voice actor availability issues or something maybe, because the lines he has with Rook are so limited too, 'when's the last time you slept, remember to take breaks' on endless repeat, and Claudia Black was brought in relatively late and isn't it odd that Morrigan is our go-between with the Inquisitor when that seems like the role Varric should be in... The limited 'get some sleep, take a break' dialogue was because there's only so much advice Rook can fill in for him, huh? His death was speculated about so heavily after the gameplay trailer that this isn't a shock, but I was so relieved when he survived, dangit! Congrats to David Gaider, he finally got his wish.

The trap, the way the whole shape of the story has built up to this - the heavy theme of regret right from the start, Solas's regrets but also Rook continually being put in a position to form some of his own; and then the contrast that our spirit companion who usually embodies the main theme in these games is not Regret, it's Spite, or as the Lords of Fortune call him, Determination; and this whole time I've so very much enjoyed the way Solas was training Rook into something like the Dread Wolf through all their talks... the way all the threads running through the story come together, beautiful. Chef's kiss. And these are all specifically things that I've enthused about in these liveblogs before!! Everything hit exactly as they intended, I'm in pain and they thoroughly laid the groundwork for this pain and it's beautiful.

Rook was trapped by becoming too much like the Dread Wolf, but escaping traps is what the Dread Wolf does. Both of them, now.

Bianca's been sitting in two pieces on Varric's bedside table this whole time, was that real? I turned the game off for the night before writing these last few flailing paragraphs, but I should go check if she's still there when I get back to it.

xiv's cute little "well it couldnt hurt :-]" before getting exploded AAAAAAA literally prime xiv moment. also stick your head innit also xiv freshly being out of the tower makes this moment a little cuter i think. xiv's out and the first thing they're being encouraged to do is to make a reckless decision thats actually THEIR decision for a change and tals cheering them on. its so... its so silly its so goofy. comfort in the comedy or whatever.

"I see this all the time back on the farm" "what kinda farm do you work on..."

"think of all the thoughts its probably thinking it could probably think us a way out of here" yeah since we got two academic minds one taxpayer one tal and zero braincells in this group. rai had the braincell for once and look where that got him.

THE NECRONOMICON RAI'S EATING IS TITLED MAGIC FOR DUMMIES IM GIGLGING. AND IT SWITCHES FROM EIGHT TO NINE AS HE EATS IT PLEASE...

"it says that it hunts smart creatures. ok so we adopted the brain-"

also xiv's cursive handwriting is so so cute.... very contrasting to the FAMILY GUY CLIP. why is XIV LOIS.

the "fighting cheeks and balls out" is so insane. put those AWAY. rai also is the one to get to the helm first!!

also i was going to say on my last liveblog post that xiv's father looked like he had a tentacle beard but deleted it but!!! now i know why i was going to!! xiv calls the ilithid they see papa + sees the grandmaster i think hes called as a father figure. :-3 thats why!!

im sorry tal. i dont give a shit. also xiv's outfit in the 3d recreation segments being a bard fit is really funny but also as a bard-main the bard fit is attrocious. get it off them

xiv killing the mind flayer immeaditly even though tal was talking to it because it tried begging for its life despite what it had done ^_^ verse 1 of father by the front bottoms not the rest of the song just that verse

rai vc hey babygirl do you. come.[persuasion failed] HERE OFTEN HERE OFTEN

xiv's first casualty is pushing someone off the ledge + unintentionally nearly kiling tal with that stone thing. btw i know act 1's intro area is like that to teach the general rules of the game but i love how that thng isjust. there. no context. its just a stone on a fucking rope dangling pecariously over a kinda broken hole. thats really funny to me

"no. i dont think it was the fall <3 anyway im sure hes fine" HORROR MOVIE TRILL

XIV'S LITTLE SHOCKED SPRITE AT THE TRAPPED SACROFOGAPHS. i dontk now how to spell that ROOM ITS SO CUUUTE AAHH

tal with his ass out talking to withers. tal thats an ancient god... tal....

tal saying "well i think every life is of infinite value <333" foreshadowing...

"JESUS I SAID LONG REST NOT SCHLONG REST PUT THAT WEAPON AWAY!!!"

that was a ganon event....

"youre gonna wake them up with your shitty fucking song!!"

[ID: screenshot of xiv walking into the scene when you enter the druid grove in bg3. they're smirking a little. end id]

clearly you dont own an air fryer <333

"some other stuff happened here. i ended racism!!"

I THINK ITS IN ONE OF YOUR INVENTORIES HELPPP. this happened while tal was still in his damn underwear.

also the xiv scaring kids so they call the law thing is really really funny im not gonna lie. it makes sense they were sheltered blah blah blah but also ngl it is really funny

he was to able to intimidate the goblins into running away. and now for an act of heroism!! be free <3333 ...... too free.

SUPPLEX HIM INTO A CONVERSATION...

xiv saying "having no friends myself!!" GIRL YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE EM. sorry they handed you a leash and said you have to deal with three crazy ass dogs

sorcerer's guide to jelquing. no not that one

[blackjackkent]

Bit of a later start on liveblogging adventures today than I intended; work got a bit nutty right as I thought I was wrapping things up. XD But here we go, back into Moonrise Towers!

So far Rakha is not particularly enjoying her visit but she (and I) are very intrigued by the first encounter with Ketheric Thorm, who very strongly implied that Rakha has been here before her memory loss.

I'm trying to decide what order to do things and I think I wanna go ahead and get Minthara to safety immediately, so we're starting with the prison break immediately and then exploring the rest of the Tower afterwards. Fundamentally I don't think Rakha specifically cares about Minthara, but her greatest goal in Moonrise besides wreaking a bloody revenge on Ketheric is probably finding Wyll's father for him, which also would entail investigating the prison as soon as possible. (And Shadowheart has planted the idea that Minthara might be useful to them, since she's marked for death at the cult's hands already.)

To the basement!

The prison smells deeply of blood.

In a way it's something of a relief. The Towers' main level, while at least free of the painful prickle of corrupted magic, had a sharp decaying scent to it, something Rakha can't quite put a name to. The prison, however, smells like death - and for better or for worse, that is familiar.

(This ties, of course, with that continuing nagging feeling of certainty that she has been here before, that she knows these people. It itches at the back of her brain and makes the beast growl angrily.)

She follows the blood trail into the nearest room on the left, half by intention and half by instinct.

And, sure enough, there is Minthara, flanked by two Absolutist torturers and clutching her head in evident agony.

For a little while, Rakha stands in the doorway of the torture chamber, listening with muted curiosity as the torturers pepper the unfortunate prisoner with questions. What she hears is... illuminating.

Sumera: "Do you yet recall your name, prisoner?" Minthara: "Minthara Baenre." Jasin: "We will take it from you soon."

Minthara: "Queen of Spiders, I beseech of you the strength to destroy my foes." Jasin: "Lolth cannot hear you. She has forsaken you." Sumera: "There are no gods left to you, Minthara. You are alone."

Sumera: "How can you hope to resist the voice of a god?" Minthara: "It is no god!" Jasin: "Blasphemer!"

Jasin: "You are despised, Minthara." Sumera: "A blemish in the Absolute's design." Jasin: "We will cleanse you."

Rakha's jaw works thoughtfully. Some of the words here - Lolth in particular - are unfamiliar, but the implications are interesting, regardless. Minthara is being tortured with the intention of blanking her mind completely; "purification," one of the torturers calls it. And yet Minthara is fighting back, and not only that but is calling out to a different god, as if she is fighting not only the torture but the Absolute's control itself.

Beneath this cool analysis, Rakha's thoughts rage with other questions. She knew these people once, and in those memories lost to her, she is certain she once tortured and killed without question. Did she torture others like this, in this very room?

And deepest of all, a question she does not quite dare to examine - was she cleansed as Minthara is being cleansed? Is that what happened to her memory?

"You were adored, Minthara," one of the torturers purrs, looking pleased as Minthara doubles over with a new surge of pain. "Brought up from the darkness and into the Absolute's light."

"She cherished you," says the other. "But it wasn't enough. You were distracted by your own desires. Bloodlust. Murder. Chaos."

"And most damning of all," says the first, "an inability to follow orders."

"I obeyed to the best of my ability!" Minthara cries. Her voice is strained with agony.

"And isn't that depressing?" sneers the torturer. "You are nothing!"

Narrator: Minthara's mind connects with yours. Not strong as you remember it, but fractured... disintegrating.

The difference is stark. Rakha remembers Minthara's mind closing around hers in the dark dampness of the goblin camp - singleminded and full of purpose, driven by fervor for the Absolute. Nothing like this broken, shattered woman whose mind touches Rakha's in frightened wisps.

Is this how I too fell to oblivion?

"Come to observe, True Soul?" the torturer asks with casual eagerness, turning at the sound of Rakha's footsteps. "She is a lesson. None can rise so high that they cannot fall again?"

"What are you doing to her?" Rakha asks sharply.

The torturer gives Rakha a slow, gleeful smile. "We are erasing her."

Rakha does not care about Minthara's survival per se. In fact, she already thought she killed the drow once and in some ways would be happy to do it again. But Shadowheart's earlier suggestion was salient - there's reason to believe Minthara might be of use to them since the cult has discarded her. And she wants to know more about this cleansing, and anything Minthara might be able to tell her about her previous time here.

That, of course, requires getting rid of the two pipsqueaks. Tempting to simply kill them, but as usual... answers first.

[INTIMIDATION] "Stand aside. I'm taking charge here."

"Yes - your authority is great," the torturer says with eager deference, stepping aside. "We can learn, watching you break what little remains of her mind."

And indeed, there is some part of her that hums with instinct. She knows with sudden certainty that she could shatter Minthara's mind apart like a cracked egg, if she wished. It would take no effort at all; she would melt, broken beyond repair, her body sprawling upon the floor with a dying whine...

Reach out for the drow's mind.

It takes remarkable effort to maintain her focus, to ignore the destructive temptation and instead to listen.

Narrator: Immediately, your mind is swept into a greater vortex. A psionic storm with Minthara at its center.

Dizziness swamps her. For a moment she can't remember where she is or what is happening. There is only her mind and Minthara's, entwined in a dance that is mysterious and familiar at the same time.

But no-- there is something else.

"--CANNOT-- -hide- -SUBMIT-- -embrace-----"

The voice shudders through her like the blade of a knife - the same voice she heard on the path to the goblin camp, weeks ago.

Narrator: Her torturers are not dominating her. They are destroying her mental defenses and exposing her to something else. The Absolute?

[WISDOM] Push past the presence, towards Minthara.

Narrator: Navigating the storm, you reach the nexus of her mind. It is a wound, bleeding raw emotion and shattered memories. But she senses your arrival.

It feels deeply uncomfortable. Even with Wyll and Lae'zel, she has never connected so directly and deeply with another person. It is strange and intimate and sour-sweet; it tastes of the torture that part of her still longs to administer.

Minthara peers inwardly at her, the interloper within her broken mind.

"So it is you who will end me," she rasps. "Make it swift, then. Anything to silence that thing - that voice..."

Tempting. Tempting... so tempting to reach out and strangle her again, choking the life out of Minthara's mind as she once choked the life out of her body. But no. There are better targets now.

"Share my strength," she answers, cold and calm and practical against the battering waves of Minthara's terror. "And strike the guards down."

Minthara's breath catches; Rakha can feel the flash of hope through her where before there was only black despair. She nods. "But first... let's make these bastards bleed..." she snarls.

Narrator: Her mind fills with warmth, and she gently releases you.

Rakha feels the solidity of her body again; as her eyes open, she watches Minthara cease her trembling and struggle back to her feet, shaking off the torture and clenching her fists.

"Impossible!" she hears one of the torturers shout. "She was broken!"

Rakha pulls the staves from her back with a flash of brutal satisfaction. And now you will be.

Season 2, Episode 6 Liveblog

Elayne is getting a puzzle! :D this is such good enrichment for Elaynes

Rand’s secret little smile at ‘you can fight anyone’

“It needs to be healed” creepy but I kinda love it in a fucked up way

Not the pitcher :(

“That’s almost nice” WTF that’s so dehumanizing and so Seanchan

Well that’s almost entirely by the book

Compare/contrast these two chained up figures

Importance of chosen names

This is a much more effective mindfuck then whatever TGH Selene was attempting

Psssst Rand it’s bad when your new girlfriend separates you from your support network

Min you are harshing the vibe

“She broke the 3 oaths?” “Every single one” (Elayne took notes)

Names are a theme

I don’t think I want Lanfear doing me favors

“Many paths through the dark” I do appreciate leaning into the Lanbiguity

Suroth, if the Empress saw how you were toying with her Gardener she’d be very upset, those are Imperial property

Loial, have you considered: Stab them with the plant

We are about to have pitcher problems

The way the a’dam prevents a damane from using things they think of as weapons is a weird twisted echo of the 2nd oath. I’ve wondered if the Oaths would prevent Aes Sedai from making a’dam and I think it would depend on what the Aes Sedai termed a weapon that someone could kill another with.

Yeah this is pure book although the ‘you’re not a person’ line is an extra ouch

“Pour a glass of water” echoing horribly the water-cleaning from the tower

When you deal with the devil, that is actually how it works, I’m afraid

Temple of the Forsaken??? Y’all I need some fic set here. I need Dark Raves honoring Asmodean. I need therapy sessions that make you worse sponsored by the Acolytes of Graendal. I need Moghedonists whispering the sacred crypto wallet keys to each other.

Siuan is probs putting out diplomatic fires in Caemlyn now that they lost Elayne? Or attending Gawyn’s birthday party I guess

Oooh is it the trippy ~TGH dream sequence?

Lmao she calls him Ishy

“See the world as it really is in the World of Dreams” what a fascinating take

Do not ask about Egg!!! this is Lanfear she will make Egg into a flesh balloon for touching you

Smart Rand would be like ‘oh now I know you’re lying [about Egwene being Ishy’s]’ but Idk how smart he is

Oh this is heartbreaking she found the lost sister

Ooooooh are we going to see Bayle again so soon?

Nyneave like ‘I’ll allow it” but only because Elayne is saying what she would have

Elayne is getting a puzzle! :D this is such good enrichment for Elaynes

Awwww what a nice nosy boy who will repeat the contents of the letter

Watch she doesn’t stab you when you look away

Mommy issuessssss

I like the air knives

Because you want a legacy!

Ooooh lesson time. Everyone is barfing in this ep

Rand’s secret little smile at ‘you can fight anyone’

Oh god [MY BOYS!!!]

KISS!!! -ok moment’s gone

Mat and his lil grabby hand on Rand’s shoulder, my tactile boy

‘Some of the damane can sense people channeling’ guess we def changed the lore about how channelers sense each other, mildly annoyed about that, but it’s consistent within the show

That’s smart, trying to see the catch in the water like a mirror

Exercising power

Oooof that’s a new twist “I hope they told you at your White Tower how special you are”

Renna are you going to make her set it on fire??? The thing that comforts her? [post-ep I was thinking about the contrast in how the Seanchan command Loial and his tree powers- they are uncomfortable with it and have to ruin the moment. They don’t have the same power over him without tools.]

Well that was an uncomfortably sexually charged moment of excited panting [please tell me it wasn’t just me]

Proud of you, Egwene <3 Hah you made Renna mad good for you

Elayne: “I need a bestie real bad”

Mat gets it because Mat also has The Depression

RESCUE TIME

Min is like I am here to give you bad news, as is my fate

Mat’s good at bullshit detecting & does not handle betrayal well

This is very sweet but I feel like the subtext is “You will be eaten alive as king”

Pope hat

Oh my boys they are so sad

It’s time for… [Alanna and her posse corner Rand] OH SHIT IS IT HAPPENING?

I don’t think Nyneave does modulation

“It needs to be healed” creepy but I kinda love it in a fucked up way

Ooooof next time we see Ryma she’ll be with my Most Problematic Of Faves I guess 🫣😬☹️

This series loves to hang characters and if it can’t get Mat than anyone else will do

[Renna pours out the cup Egwene just filled] Oh fuuuuuuuck you Renna

You still won. You’re still alive

Our lost Blue Sitter coming in at the clutch
