I do get it if I had a beautiful butch I would start fighting off all other girls who liked her and then lobotomize myself so she could live in my brain too. harrow's motivations are so sympathetic even though her methods are. Well.

i feel like the majority of the ppl here think dnp wont ever hardlaunch (for understandable reasons, e.g. accepting that they basically already have or seeing it as smth they wont ever explicitly confirm bc they either dont want to for whatever reason or dont feel the need to). but i live in a reality where the chance of them one day being like "oh btw we're a thing" in whatever way you might (no but seriously) imagine, all the way from a random tiny offhand comment to like. idk a whole ass video, is not zero which is a combination of epic and slightly terrifying

I wonder what kind of music other ace and/or aro people like because i could bet it won't be pop with the 3 trillionth song about hetero love and sex...

For no reason in particular I think it's really important to note that as much as I am a pretty intense atheist irl in 2024 I do not blame Sarenrae for all of Tristian's fuckups and am generally disinclined to point fingers at the gods in Kingmaker for mortal affairs (someone at Owlcat just straight up hates Shelyn and whatever they are doing there is mildly incoherent). Is it best practice to leave your now ex-angel with Nyrissa? Definitely not, many things would have been solved by Tristian Not being there. But I don't think in the least that Sarenrae has "broken" Tristian out of malice or neglect. I believe that Tristian's divinity was an extraordinary privilege which was revoked for Tristian's failures to be worthy of that privilege (which I hardly think started with Nyrissa, that was just the breaking point).

I also think that there's a way of seeing being left at that moment as both a moment of harm reduction and a trial of faith. I don't think Nyrissa expected to find herself with an angel who had fallen. I think she had likely prepared to manipulate an actual outsider, had wanted someone in command of the full range of their supernatural abilities. And I think such a being could have enabled more damage much faster. And as for the trial of faith: I think there was a solve to this puzzle, a way to prove that one could hold themself to the extraordinary standards of a servant of the transcendent divine, and that was to have faith in the goddess regardless of fear and to refuse to cooperate no matter what. To as soon as aware refuse to be complicit in the slaughter of innocents, the assassination of a stranger. I'm not the world's biggest self-sacrifice advocate and Balthazar certainly reflects that about me but: these are the deeds of heroes and saints. Furthermore, the soul of a mortal can be recovered. If Tristian dies in chapter seven, the given explanation is that they can't be resurrected because Sarenrae has intervened- I firmly believe that if Tristian had died standing up to Nyrissa Sarenrae would have reclaimed them and restored their divinity. Tristian's failures are failures of first ego and then cowardice. When push actually came to shove, they could not be what they claimed to be. It's pitiable. It's very human. Huge fan of the angel who fails by being too human and too flawed. But I do not place this at the feet of Sarenrae. Not fully, at least. Not even mostly.

Of course, Balthazar would be a different matter: he's always happy to throw accusations to the heavens.

the most tragic thing a director/writer/illustrator can do to a medieval character is to give them a modern short haircut, the second most tragic thing is to give them a bland brown costume.

[crwbannwen]

My friend caught on that my special interest character rants have shifted to new characters recently.

I had to inform them that I was indeed cursed by a mutual with a new chronic hyperfixation.

(Please continue cursing me, I not-very-secretly enjoy it)

Personally as an aroace being in a queerplatonic relationship and/or a poly relationship sound really freeing to me. I feel like in a QPR there would be less pressure to be more amatonormative or present that way. The kind of "omg I totally thought you guys were dating" sort of relationship that just comes from the pure intimacy of willing to be comfortable around each other and to be intimate without necessarily having to involve kissing/sex/"real" intimacy (and the possible aro or ace solidarity). Meanwhile in a poly relationship I feel like at least for me there would be less pressure be "involved" to an extent. A whole other person (or people) would negate a lot of anxiety on my part enough not being enough (especially if one or more of them are alloromantic). And potentially that's someone who can provide romance or sex that I just can't.

Obviously these are still relationships that you consciously need to put work into maintain and have open lines of communication and discussions of boundaries, etcetera, just like any "normal" relationship but that's really the point here. I'm not allo (and I'm perfectly fine with being "abnormal" by most societal standards, but that's obviously not true for all of us) in any way, shape, or form, so why should I have to fit myself into a little allo box?

Since everyone seems to be obsessing over the big sis atm, what’s the best way to get Cienna to fall in love with you?

Being genuine is the best bet. She doesn’t like feeling as if someone is trying to make her fall in love with them, or isn’t being organic in their interactions with her, which is something you’ll definitely notice is a big thing with her interactions later on (as the genuine thing isn’t just for the romantic aspect of her life).

I have never seen a confession booth so hateful and hostile in my life. Getting back into the rw community and I am honestly too scared to go through with it.
