#and all your friends are npcs

[andr3w-the-d0dgeb4ll]

The parallel of the Martyn vtuber lore and Grian watcher lore in terms of eldritch horror is something I want to mess with more..

Like with Grian, this is the horror of being elevated to a higher being than you were ever meant to be. Comprehending more than your mind was built to comprehend, given divine madness by beings who do not truly understand that they are ruining something already perfect.

Going back home, returning to the being you once were, but no longer able to enjoy your old life. Everything is meaningless now, your friends and family a mere speck in the vastness of your new mindscape.

Truly, this would be hell.

But on the other hand, Martyn. What was once a higher being, viewing this smaller world through a screen, he is now one of them. Shoved into a new body, made to pretend he is exactly like these beings so beneath him.

Your vision has been narrowed, your hearing limited. Your body is no longer yours, now it is a part of the game. Divine madness is your new curse, but in a complete opposite way. You ARE divine. You are a God of this world, why are you now TRAPPED in it?

I wonder what they'd think of each other, Grian and Martyn, if they both knew the truth of each other's existence? Would they envy the other or pity them?

Or maybe I'm just talking out my ass and none of this is true-

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way

I've never done OCxKiss but I had so much fun seeing people do it last year!! Doing these mistletoe kisses though is kind of depleting my posing bar but also it's not until February anyway but also maybe I'll do febhyurary if that is happening this year but also I could probably manage a few oc smooches but also who and how would I ask??

Is it like asking people to prom? Do I do a promposal?

(jokes i will just ask for bones if i plan to do it.... but also.... promposal to ask my friends for their ocs for smooching..... would be... very cute....)

there's an indescribable amount of pure joy i get watching liam in the crown keepers campaign — his reactions to all the familiar things, not familiar to orym but to liam himself. his happy smile at ashley when sherri was described, his content sigh when gilmore said he was married and overall just gentle look in his eyes during this whole segment, his quick smile when aabria mentioned syngorn and heart grab followed by an exaggerated fall under the table when they arrived to byroden is just precious to me. this man needs to be protected at all costs.

hello, lu fandom. i've got... a thought experiment? i suppose?

the short explanation is that i'm outlining a fic where the chain defeats dink in post-totk hyrule but no portals arrive to take them home, so they're just stuck in wild's era forever. i want to have at least one of the chain form a new relationship in the botw era (besides wild, who will be with flora), but i'm having trouble thinking of who would be interested in who.

so, thought experiment. if you had to ship each member of the chain with a botw/totk character, what would your ships be and why?

recent posts on dash has me thinking about who my s/i’s friends + acquaintances would be out of the playable characters roster O:

[hanzajesthanza]

people (the rest of the hanza. not including geralt) often forget that cahir was 1. the guy that kidnapped ciri 2. an officer in the military

he’s literally so polite in geralt’s company you wouldn’t even guess he was the black knight. and yet. and yet.

i’m never certain exactly how to reconcile this tactful and strategic mind with the terrified young man

i dont think tommy said the nuke wasnt canon, he seemed to be talking about how he canonically didnt lose a life to the nuke because in the 2022 ending, no nuke killed anyone

I guess?... I don't know. It doesn't really make sense since basically Jack is pretty insistent that he did blow everything up, and yet all the buildings remain, so... and the reasoning he gives for not dying in the nuke is that he can't die, which is part of his lore. Tommy doesn't really answer how he and Tubbo are alive, except to say that the nuke wasn't canon (presumably as in canon death is what he means) and he was left with 1 life when everyone left. In response to Jack's comment about not being able to actually die, Tommy responds "Not that either of us would know anything about that" but since he fought a monster in between his Tubbo comment and Jack's, he may have meant that as a response to his above statement about logistics... so if Jack blew everything up, but everything is still standing, then the most reasonable explanation is that the Incident did happen and eventually he gained his memories back and visits Techno's house from time to time... (which people said including anons in my inbox)

So people are wrong, it is not a retcon but an extension, the end of season 2, whatever that was... even so what's funny is that innitors are more happy with this ending versus a restart even when it's down right depressing. Tommy is alone. He hasn't seen anyone besides Tubbo in a long time and lives very far away from the main dsmp area. But take it from me, the quiet is nice, living alone is nice, but being utterly alone is miserable. To live alone with no outside interaction besides one person is really sad to me, and the fact that the area is still so triggering for him is also a testament that he hasn't healed, and living alone won't heal him. Especially not when part of his trauma revolves around him feeling alone in Exile. So really, it's a very depressing ending. Tommy just wanted to have fun with his friends and in the end, he has no one but Tubbo and his sheep and a cabin in the arctic he stares at for hours. He didn't mend his relationships with people, even still bringing up Jack exploding his hotel after it's been years since then. He did literally move but he didn't heal, he didn't grow, he wasn't able to form better relationships or claim what he yearned for. And that to me is a sadder ending.

As as aside, I've talked about before how all the ghosts have sheep, so an interesting theory would be that he is actually a ghost haunting the land... have another au free of charge I guess lol... do we think the sheep is colored? maybe it's red...

If your life circumstances have always required from you an abnormal amount of strength and resilience, I see you. If your inner child lets out a small sob anytime someone compliments you on that strength, I see you. If that strength translates to you being some form of domineering/abrasive because you learned early on that your lot in life was to take care of yourself because nobody else ever did, I see you. If you are so fucking angry all the time and can't pinpoint why, I see you. If you've had to watch as people you care about continue to abandon you in adulthood because you grew up to be type A, controlling and assertive, I see the fuck out of you. It's not your fault that nobody ever gave you a soft place to land so that you could be your true self. And I won't inundate you with condescending platitudes about how you'll find your person/people one day.

Some of us are lucky, but to depend on external sources for your well being is a crap shoot. I won't tell you to keep looking for your home in other people. Home is where you are. Take that strength you've painstakingly cultivated since you were a child, and quadruple it. Become bulletproof, unbreakable. Don't let anyone else find a fault line in you to exploit ever again.

Finally made a Tav meetup image to match my Durge one, also after finally resolving my lag issues i could play a little farther into my Misfortune save (one day i will finish Act 3. It's just so much) which led to us finally being able to break Wyll's pact (yay!) but it also illustrated just how much Mizora gets bullied on her save. I imagine she absolutely loathes appearing in camp because of it.

I also finally get to introduce you to Baphomet! My third Dark Urge whom you might have seen before as a cameo in my Durge meetup art. For the longest time i barely had any art of her, but i've caught the bug i'm afraid so even if it's not a lot it's still enough for an introduction! (And more is certainly on the way)

(Can you tell i have a lot of difficulty drawing her? Because i do.)

Baphomet is a Way of the Four Elements (Fire spells only) Monk good Durge who is, on the surface, the most normal one out of the three. She was raised in a Lathandarian monastery as a star novice, the balance she was taught was what kept the Urges at bay for an unusually long time. This, however, was a double edged sword as when she finally snapped as a full-fledged Monk she was ten times more dangerous. Her killing of a Dawnmaster and several other novices led to her being banished from the monastery, and that's when she set off for the Temple of Bhaal. Yadda yadda main story stuff happens.

As a person Baphy is very stoic, being even less expressive than Tav; she's quiet and generally regarded as almost unreadable by her companions and instead lets her good actions speak for her. Internally there are a lot of things going on in her head though, most of them being her trying to grapple with The Urge. She's a very considerate person and tries to pass fair judgement to everyone, though can be lenient on those that show her kindness. She may not be good with words but she will do all in her power to support you.

3 days later and I'm still fucking devastated that Fia killed D.... my wife killed my bestie.... man whose side am I supposed to be on here.....

[hilacopter]

dude there is a HUGE difference between palestinians who have gotten their ENTIRE LIVES destroyed and bombed and killed and harrassed for *70 YEARS* to become hateful towards israelis who literally represent jews, than one of the billionaire leaders of the most powerful and influential country in the world, whose ideologies are simply based on egotism and ignorance rather than systematic oppression and murder. sad to say it but all other countries speak of how israelis are propagandised to the point where you don't understand it yourselves, and spreading antisemitic and nationalistic ideas as you do, is also propaganda to make yourself look better in comparison. i'll block you now 'cus i can't stand propaganda, but please, try to develop critical thinking skills for your own good.

ok so where do I even fucking start

one of many reasons NEO TWEWY is great: Rindo's arc isn't just about overcoming anxiety, coming out of your shell, and building genuine connections with others. it's also about learning to understand the appeal of a rudegirl

[boundlss]

all my other dnd characters wish i cared about them nearly as much as i care about cyran azerrad kapral bonus under cut

[ghost-proofbaby]

GHOST THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME who are the characters you absolutely love writing for/want to write more for? not just stranger things but like any fandom because I have ideas for requests and I THINK you've mentioned liking a specific character but I can't rememberrrrrrr

AHHHHHH! it's too hard to choose!

i have tons outside of stranger things (eddie, steve, and robin mainly), and i also still have some stranger things characters i wanna give it a go with (more nancy, hopper, etc)!!

i've mentioned a few of these in the past, and even tried only to fail miserably and discard half-written fics to the graveyard, but i would say outside of stranger things, some good examples are:

astarion (bg3), gale (bg3), shadowheart (bg3), wyll (bg3), spencer reid (criminal minds), loki (marvel), joel miller? (tlou), and as i said in my previous anon, i really wanna try out writing for iwtv amc but it likely wouldn't be x reader!! if i did iwtv, i'd stick to mostly canon ships <3 maybe including reader in there but... i'd first wanna get the hang of their characters within that world and cast haha

i think my only big no character wise is writing rpf!! so if you have any requests from any fandom i just listed, even if it's a different character, i'd be so open for you sending them in and me possibly giving it a shot <3
