#and getting to talk with my silly little friends about our silly little blorbos was exactly that reason

[foulbearobservation]

both the child and the divorce make this au better (read: somehow even more interesting it was already 100% interesting it has now broken the meter and has continued to go up like in a cartoon) and i would like to know just. so much more if you're willing to share. def doesn't have to be in prose, i just wanna know what you've come up with bc. the EFFECT that what i know already has had on my brain. (really no pressure tho!! also feel free to leave this ask for later/tomorrow or delete it, i've been spamming u really quite heavily all day, sorry!!!!) -🦭

I don't have anything beyond a few scenes and an outline, I'm still kinda trying to figure out how to build up to the emotional devastation I felt at 3 am when I woke up from a dead sleep with the image of Beatrice, light haloed around her head, holding onto Lilith's face so so softly and asking what her name is.

I just need to figure out how to get there!! and I haven't yet, but I will.

also don't apologize for spam! I'm like tinkerbell if someone doesn't pay attention to me I will die lmao

I see you @riza-hawks-eye calling Roy a himbo and it's not the first time I see this, so allow me to disagree (for fun ok! Everyone's HC are good, we're just rotating blorbos in our minds) and share my thoughts:

Roy : small man, not incredibly muscular for a soldier, always in dapper suits and shirts, wears his jacket draped over his shoulders because he thinks it's classy, long scarf, flirts with everyone, suave arsehole, apparent high opinion of himself (confirmed in japanese by the use of watashi for himself, if I get that well, @qs63 ?), fancy clothes, fancy car, at times gloves even when he's not wearing the ignition ones, longish hair, and all of this is mostly a facade and he sleeps on his couch.

(the miniskirt thing doesn't count it's an omake)

Roy is a DANDY.

At least in the way this word is used in my country.

To me Roy is building himself a dandy's image on purpose, by drawing from his own tendencies and exaggerating them.

Havoc: tall and muscular, generically handsome, a little dumb at times, definitely silly on purpose, canonically obsessed with boobs, when he's bored at the hospital his best friend brings him WEIGHTS (granted he's going to need his arms. But, like, that fast? Hum.)

HAVOC IS THE HIMBO ! HAVOC !!!!

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

I don't have anything to say about autistic Riza, I don't HC her this way but I don't disagree either, I just see her as not really good at processing her own negative emotions, and extremely driven. Which. Doesn't counter that HC at all, lol.

Cheers, once again all in good fun, 😅

[slobozan-shitposting]

Ok, but can we talk about the most overlooked female characters from ABD's "betrayer"?

I get why y'all love Lotara - don't get me wrong, I'm obsessed with her. She's my blorbo and poor little meow meow, after all. But what's sad is that other female characters are completely overlooked by the fandom, although they deserve as much attention as Lotara and Cyrene have.

Note that it's not a Cyrene and Lotara hate post and I don't encourage anyone to hate them - in fact, it's the opposite. Warhammer fans, especially the female ones, should simp over women harder.

The first woman I'd like to talk about is Keeda Bly, moderati secundus of the Syrgalah. Honestly, I love everything about her. She's got a short background story which makes her way deeper. On a surface level, she's just a silly girl, but the fact that she's a former enslaved child soldier makes it look like a coping mechanism. As if she must have this light attitude, otherwise, if she'll take the situation with all seriousness, she'd be mentally unwell. Her relationship with Toth Kol looks interesting too. It truly doesn't matter whether they're friends or lovers, it works either way and that's the reason I love them so much. Whatever is between them, it's not spoiled by heteronormativity. They're equal: both are silly, both are good pilots. Toth doesn't treat her differently only because she's a woman (for a comparison, both Lotara and Cyrene were called wh*res by Delvarus and Angron), she's never a damsel in distress - in fact, it's the other way around and she's the one who saved Toth. Keeda is an empowered woman, but not a power fantasy - sometimes, she acts unwise, worries about her comrade, grieves the princeps and experiences fear of her own death. Perhaps, she's the most relatable character of the entire book. Besides that, I adore how her relationship with Toth has "yes, life is rough, war is horrible and the reasons why it's happening are beyond our comprehension, but it's not that bad as long as we're by each other's side" vibe. Note, btw, that they both declined Audun's promotion so they can stay on Syrgalah together. Isn't that adorable?

The other female character is Lehralla, the scrymistress of the Conqueror. Not gonna lie, I have mixed feelings about her. It feels like she's there only to provide shock value and be a named woman who talks with Lotara about something other than men, so they can pass the Bechdel test. On top of that, she's definitely not a good disability rep. But there's something about her that stuck in my head. Undeniably, Lehralla is cute. But the position she stuck in isn't cute. She's surgically bounded to the console, which means no freedom of movement, no privacy and no body autonomy. I wish the psychological aspect of her condition was elaborated in the book, but unfortunately there was so little about her and she doesn't appear in any other book. Yet, I wonder how she felt. Did she ever regret anything? Did she want to be free? Lehralla is a mysterious woman and I love it about her. Also, consider this: there's a huge yuri potential between Lotara and Lehralla.

So, it's October -- crazy, right? About three months ago, I got waaay too emotionally invested in Din Djarin and baby Grogu and the Razor Crest and, well, here we are. This blog served as a way to unleash the infectious brainrot of Pedro back into the ecosystem, hopefully finding another victim. What I got back, is community. I've been in fandom for over ten years and I can honestly say I've never seen a fandom that is so kind, so supportive, so eager to share and talk and engage with others.

So, in the three months since this blog was created, you lovely people continue to show up and everyday I am gobsmacked at the growth and support. I genuinely don't know how I would have survived these last few months had I not met some of you, so as the (shoddily made) gif says: thank you.

I've just now wrapped up my 100 Followers Event Challenge (y'all sent me so many fantastic prompts I had SO much fun!). If you're interested, they're on my masterlist or you can find them all here on this post. I'm taking an itty bitty break from writing for just a bit (might be getting a new job too) but when i come back, i can't wait to share what comes next for all our pedro blorbos!)

Now that I'm a bit more settled and have had the chance to meet some of these fantastic creators, I'd love to share them out with you:

My Favorite Places to Make PPCU Friends (Discord Servers):

Pedro Pascal Cinematic Universe (I got invited by @jupiter-soups)

Space Sisters - give @psychedelic-ink a shout if you'd like to join!

My Favorite Compilations for Fics:

Favourite Fanfic Stories (managed by @morallyinept)

Sanctuary Database (managed by @pascalsanctuary)

Spreadsheet Digest (managed by @wannab-urs)

(these folks are also some of the nicest people you'll ever meet so please do yourself a favor and go follow them)

My Favorite Creators:

@perotovar is a next level gifmaker

@trulybetty has some of the best designs i've ever seen

happy early 2024 !

posted a bit early as i'll be going to bed relatively soon, but i wanted to say something to usher in the new year!

as some of you know, i've been in the RPC for a very long time, but took a well needed hiatus a year or so back. i only recently returned mid-November && have not regretted that decision for a second. ♥ it's only been a month and a half, but it's been the best month and a half i've ever spent on this site. i admit i was nervous to return for a variety of reason ( mostly avoiding some rather negative people i originally split from this site to escape from ) but i've come to find that this space space i've built has fostered so much positivity for me, and i'm very grateful for that. i'm grateful for all the new friends i've made, all the connections i've forged, the writing i've done, and the plots i've gotten to explore! && as the new year approaches, i'm walking it into with quite a few new aspirations and hopes. i'm really, really thankful to everyone who's given me the time and chance to reach out and make a connection. to the people who've talked to me and told me they're excited for the release of my book, for my return to the vtubing community, for the times we play games together and just goof off.

i hope you know how much you all mean to me. i wish i could tag EVERYONE in this post but tumblr would kick my ass, but just know that i'm truly and honestly grateful and honored to have met the people that i have and look forward to talking more with all of you and getting to know you better. there are a few people i want to single out to shower with love who've supported me or have even known me from the LAST TIME i was on the site lmao

@goldenfists : you should already know you'd be the first on my list Joo Joo Bean. my beloved. we've known each other for what... 3 years now? roughly that, give or take, but you have no idea how much you really mean to me. from the moment we met i knew you were someone i wanted to keep in my circle. i adored you and still do; you've seen the changes i've gone through, the growth i've made, and supported every positive decision i've made. even when i finally built my first oc, and your first incentive was to foster a relationship between sett and eden and letting me know that you LOVED my creatives when i was so scared to take that first dive into making an oc. i love you so much dude. ;_; i'll never forget how you teased me on stream about my pronunciation of your name but then insisted i kept pronouncing it like that because you thought it was cute. i wish you knew just how much you mean to me, because words aren't enough to justify my feelings toward you. i love you Joo Joo Bean, i love you to the moon and back, and i can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for you and i, and our little blorbos @empyreous : ELLE!!!11 ELLE!!!!1 MY BELOVED PARTNER IN CRIME ON LEAGUE!!!! we haven't known each other for very long but god have i LOVED writing with you and goofing off in my favourite games. you've given me a brand new love for league and you're so fucking talented with your ocs and your writing that i'm just chomping at the bit for us to keep going. i literally can't wait to see what we end up developing for these silly little dudes and it makes me so very happy to have you in my corner. i wish you only the best in the world and i'm certain 2024 will give us so many more funny memories to cherish. save me eboi.... eboi save me....

@seeksmoon / @seekslight : softie you loveable little shit. you boyfriend stealing monster ( affectionate ). actually, if i was gonna share my boyfriend with anyone, it'd gladly be you. BUT JOKES ASIDE i'm really delighted we met and hit it off as well as we did. the way you write both alune and lux have me going GRRRRR BARK BARK BARK and i adore the dynamics we've started to built between yonealune and ezlux. we haven't had nearly enough time to hang out yet and that's a fucking CRIME if you ask me. i'm sure come 2024 though we'll have plenty of time to be a couple of goobers and mess around in league here on tumblr. you're such a sweetheart and even my bf talks so positively of you, and anyone that can make him happy makes ME happy. i hope you know you won't get rid of him and i so easily ♥ we enjoy hanging out with you, and we hope you do too :>

@ayahimes : astrid u ain't getting away from me i'm rapidly approaching ur location at mach 10. LFKDJASLKJDF i'm teasing i'm teasing but MAN i've had so much fun playing weague of wegends with you ( and looking forward to when we start playing ffxiv too ) but you're such a sweetheart man. a good energy, positive presence that i love being around ;v; i hope we'll get to play more in the future and chat more and get to know each other!! ♥♥♥

@mellodiies : misha all i'm gonna say is this year... you will be boiled.... ( this ask forever lives rent free in my head and i'm never going to stop laughing at this i hope you know ) ok but in all seriousness i'm so glad i worked up the courage to follow your blog because it's been a bucket of laughs and also seeing one of my childhood faves being doted over so lovingly just makes me so!!!!!!!!!!! i hope this year we'll be able to write ( and even if we don't i'm also content just observing your shenanigans bc they always brighten my day ). thank you for filling my dash with the little pep in my day that i need, you're a fucking goober and i adore you for it

@vulpesse : hi bunnie!! we never really got much of a chance to chat before ( we did get to write a bit in the past though, which i enjoyed! ) but i want you to know that you are one of my biggest inspirations on this site and i was so goddamn happy when i found you again that i hit the follow button so fast i think i broke my finger LMAO but seriously.... you're great. you have such a wonderful energy about you and you're so unbelievably talented with an indomitable spirit. i love seeing your posts every day, and i'm glad to share this same space as you! ♥ please never change, you truly are such a bright light in an otherwise murky world

@heartate : plum u know i couldn't forget about my favourite edgy thot. i fuckin love u dude. it's crazy to think we've known each other for like what? 10 years? like christ. and even though those first few years weren't filled with the happiest of memories, it's been my honor to be able to make amends with you. i always appreciated you for approaching me with that heartfelt apology. i never resented you, and even less so now that i knew the kind of awful situation you were put through back then. you didn't deserve the pain and abuse you went through, and i'm glad you're finally able to break free and grow. flourish and fill the world with your light, because you're a good person and i firmly stick by that notion. no matter what happened between us in the past, you've grown and i've adored watching it. i only hope you'll be able to continue to grow and enjoy the newfound freedom you have, and i am glad to be able to be by your side through it ♥ i'll always have your back miss rina, you can count on that :>

A little retro for you too ;)

For our beloved former blorbo... Joxer the Mighty XD

How I feel about this character: 

All the people I ship romantically with this character: 

My unpopular opinion about this character: 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

my kink:

my gender bend:

oh lord lol... gotta get a backhoe to excavate this one from the memory hole

How I feel about this character:  he's my right hand arm man, my everything, my confidant, my best friend, my silly rabbit... no but actually. he's my first true blorbo and i will always be soft for the idiot. god knows i love a fool!

All the people I ship romantically with this character:  ares is number one but i've been known to dabble in autolycus, strife, gabrielle and even xena. all aboard the multiship please!

My unpopular opinion about this character:  apparently that he's attractive enough to want to ship him with someone, lol. last time i put together a gifset of the men of xena his presence was, shall we say, questioned a bit

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: that he and ares shared even a tenth of a second of screentime. talk about ships made up of whole cloth and wishful thinking...

my kink: listen at the time i first got into fandom it being gay was kinky enough XD

my gender bend: huh. i don't think i have one of these for him. altho meg comes close...

[jenny-from-the-bau]

Literally I check your blog every day and love your fics where you play with the idea of Trans BAU. Like nb masc jj is so important to me! I love them! Anyway I enjoy your silly little head canons and they make me smile and everyOne being angry needs to chill. Fucking with gender and imagining the blorbos doing the same is the best. ❤️ signed an nb dyke 😎

Thank you so much!

I'm gonna use this ask as a bit of a soapbox:

Fandom, headcanons, fanfic and all of that is just a fun way to explore storytelling and characters and make friends who like the same things as you do. If we can't say "what if a character was X", then it all falls apart. If we have to stick to canon, then what's the whole point?

It's also not harming anyone to say, "hey, I think JJ isn't that feminine, especially in later seasons." You can disagree! That's fine! We're all doing our own thing and interpreting the characters in our own way!

However, I don't understand why JJ being less feminine is the worst thing in the world? Why is imagining her as trans something to get so angry over? Consider that please.

It's really hurtful to be a masculine person and have people message you like being masculine (or god forbid, a MAN) ruins a character entirely. Being told that a character being trans is basically destroying them is...not a great feeling for a trans person.

Anyway. I'm not gonna harp on this anymore, and I'm not answering the like 5 asks I got calling me a misogynist and talking about JJ like they personally know her. I'm gonna keep doing my headcanon, vibe, gaytrans nonsense and you can just disagree and block me

[fallowtail]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals, followers and all the wonderful people on here!

Ooooh ok ok this is tough...auguh. (Also doing this on anon defeats the point a little! Whomst are you mysterious asker!?)

CBS Ghosts, of course, full hyperfixation brain, this is genuinely the only thing that actually makes me Feel Things anymore, as well as the server for it, I love all of my fandom friends for this show more than I can say and they've really enhanced my life and helped stop me from self-isolating to the extremes I used to because I get so desperate to talk about my blorbos with them that even when I get triggered over college or job stuff- things that usually make me withdraw completely from social groups because I know I'm not worthy of talking to people so much smarter and better than me- I can't help but claw myself out of it because I need them, haha. Full hearted affection for those guys and our goober show.

Getting art of my characters! Most of my free-spending money goes to commissioning artists to draw my silly little guys :) (A little bit more than I should be spending, tbh, but well, life is awful and the world is ending, I need art of my fursona!)

My WIFE...or...whatever...ugh. I guess I love her or something :/

It getting warm again and being able to sit outside on the steps, have the windows open, seeing/hearing all the birds, etc...my house gets more natural light than my dark and depression previous apartment did which has been very helpful, even if I'm not at the point yet where I can become a living room person and still spend all my time in bed, which is sadly the darkest room in the house still. But it's something!

I've been slowly working on sorting/organizing a lot of my Buckets Of Things, getting rid of old art supplies that are dried up, organizing + checklisting my massive collection of Pokemon cards, setting aside all the little papers and stickers I've collected and getting them sorted out into different piles (I'm debating starting a junk journal since putting everything in my sketchbook feels a little hollow at the moment since I can't really draw anymore...) and it makes me happy to work on! I love little trinkets and organizing things :D

[kagejima]

Lately, I have noticed there are an alarming number of friends and people who feel like they are lonely on here, and I feel like this is something that should be addressed.

If you would like this discussion event to not show up on your feed this weekend, please block the tag "rae's lonely discussion" and / or "📣: rae's lonely discussion".

For those who want to participate this weekend, please read the following rules below:

First and foremost, while this will be a totally anonymous event, this will also be a respectful discussion. I will not tolerate callout posts, hateful speech, or in general disrespectfullness. If I feel your submission meets any of the above things or has an in general hostile vibe, it will not be posted. We might be silly and sad little clowns talking about our 2d blorbos to distract ourselves from the horrors, but we are also adults who can calmly speak about our feelings. Be respectful and kind.

All submissions and replies to them MUST COME THROUGH MY INBOX and they MUST BE ANONYMOUS because this is the only way that I can guarantee that everyone stays safe during this. All posts will also be made non-rebloggable to ensure everyone's safety.

Likewise, if you have any triggering content in your submission (ex. suicidal ideation, etc.), TRIGGER WARNINGS ARE REQUIRED at the top of your submission, and I will also tag it with them. If they are not there, I will make a post briefly summarizing what you wrote about in order to get in contact with you so you can send it in again.

This discussion event will run from Friday July 28th 2023 to Sunday July 30th 2023, but you are free to send in submissions before then.

The cut off time for this event will be 11 am EST on July 30th as I have to work that Sunday night.

Obviously I am not a therapist. If you feel that you need professional help, please seek it. This is not to replace that.

This event is mostly just to speak (remember, in a respectful way!!!) without fear of being judged, just as the low interaction discussion was.

I'm not expecting everything to be solved with this, but I have a feeling that a lot of us feel a lot more lonely than we let on, and this might possibly be a healthy way for us to heal a little bit.

I look forward to this discussion. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. ❤️

[liliallowed]

"oh lili you're such a spineless coward not defending your friend"

see my little intrusive thought. I AM defending them by staying QUIET. when this shit happens the more you try to talk the worse it'll get. it just ruins everything. I'm staying quiet FOR THE SAKE OF IT.

I would have GLADLY went there to defend them but that can cause MORE crap that... well neither of us really have the energy to deal with? and we don't really have to. it's a just a simple minor disagreement np need to make it a big deal.

in my opinion my moots was in the wrong but it's a small mistake we all dumbasses on the internet make when we get so caught up in our hyperfixations and blorbos. it's understandable.

am I wrong?

c'mon I know it's a mistake I CERTAINLY would've made.

as an example I deeply regret commenting on a dust sans licking an ice cream post insisting his tongue is Blue with sheer rage. "his tongue is Blue you idiot"

I still cringe and want to crawl inwards whenever I think about it. I deleted my entire other blog for that ONE COMMENT I made without thinking.

that's no reason to call me/my moot names or be so judgmental about it.

we've all done some silly insensitive or misguided comments not thinking about the full context. we've all made unfunny jokes or... misread the tones of posts... had to wait awkwardly behind the screen for a response Wondering if we did something wrong...

I'm saying that this shit happens. and that people shouldn't be so quick to brand each other as "enemies" or "dumbasses" that's dehumanizing.

we've all made dumb silly post with it suddenly turning into a debate club for a moral justice.

[dennydraws]

The importance of doing something different

Hello, hello! Good Morning \o/ I was in a bit of a rut some weeks ago. I'm sure we all get those waves of insecurities where we think everything we do is just ... bad, everything we say is bad and everything we think is bad, our friends think we're bad too! Ironically thinking all that is also bad... lol And usually in a couple of days the clouds move away and we see the sun once more. But I'm here to talk about the clouds and all the "It suuuucks and you suuuuck" moments our brains like to slip in our every day life every once in a while.

I found the best way to deal with them is to ...actually do something different! My brain was super against the idea though, at least at first. The brain just wanted to, ya know draw something it perceived as poorly or say something that it perceived as poorly to someone, and then agonize for hours about how bad it was, and the loss of meaning to all existence!! Woe is me...!!! And I was right here about to end it with a "ok but let's try something different."

And... I think you should try something different in such moments as well!

I pulled my lil block of sculpey, which thankfully was still in stellar condition, and started to just do little figurines of random favorite blorbos. And let me tell you, I had a blast.

Not only I hadn't touched sclupey for like over 10 years and some but I hadn't touched acrylic paints in about 10 years either. There was an absolute childish glee in me the more messy and into the craft I got. I think my favorite part was getting acrylic paint on my hoodie lol I felt genuinely so happy that I got so lost into the process I splatted paint on my pristine clean clothes xD; I know it's silly but now looking at the stains, it just reminds me of a very crafty evening I had.

And the next day... I felt recharged. The clouds weren't all gone but they were mostly moving away and I learned a good lesson. Burn out happens so quick, so fast - sometimes even from things we thought we enjoy doing. But by doing something new we strip away the expectations of being 'good' and so we are pleased by whatever the outcome is. Do an origami, paint a little pebble, do a little scrapbooking, drop blobs of watercolors and see how the colors mix - do something different for fun, for yourself, without a purpose beyond to just try it.

Now that I have a mini set of acrylic paints, I think I will splat some colors in my sketchbook next time I get the glooms and dooms cause I've never used them for drawing. I've only used them for coloring figurines :D I hope I make a messy page in my sketchbook that will spark joy whenever I see it, just like the stains on my favorite hoodie lol

Thank you for stopping by, dear reader and hopefully this was a useful little ramble from yours truly. :D

[tinyjordan]

so I actually finally finished my first playthrough of bg3 last night (except it was actually this morning because I beat the final boss at like 3 am) and I just wanted to share my experience. obviously there will be spoilers

so yes. it did take me like 2 months to finish the game, a lot longer than the average player. this was mostly because I was just really busy with school and shit and I've been playing on my parents tv, so I obviously didn't get too much time to myself to binge the game. but honestly, when I did get time to play through the game, I was honestly so overjoyed to just explore the world and do quests with my silly little guys.

imo my favorite act in the game is the first act, which from what I read, many people agree with me on this sentiment. that doesn't mean that I think that the other two acts weren't great, but I just think that act 1 had something special going on there. i loved how huge the first act was and just how much I could do in this act. i thought I finished this act having completed every quest (except those in the mountain pass because I didn't know that I could just go through both paths, which I don't know how I came to that conclusion in hindsight) but when reading and watching videos about bg3, I learned that there was a ton of stuff that I missed. I can't wait for my second playthrough (which will probably be my durge run) to experience more that I missed.

i don't know where to put this point in this essay thing, but the party after defeating the goblin camp. love it! this is where fanfictions are born. although you don't really get much when romancing gale in this party except the fact that he proclaims that he likes your stank in the most socially awkward but well meaning way. i thought this was funny.

oh yeah! also Lae'zel tried to have sex with me. we didn't, but I thought I might as well share that.

speaking of Lae'zel: the most underrated character in the game. i don't care. she is extremely wholesome despite our first introduction to her. in my playthrough, she was the one that got kidnapped by orin in act three. when I rescued her from orin, she was extremely sweet and thankful about it. she said something about the githyanki language not having a word for "thank you", and she tells the player the closest thing to it in her language. but even then she thought that wasn't a good enough way to express gratitude, so she said "thank you, sincerely." she's not my favorite companion, but my heart did swell in this moment

speaking of favorite companions-

astarion

ASTARION

yes I know that everyone reading this probably heard this a million times, but Astarion is such an amazing and well written character. this man is blorbo himself. i want to be his best friend. during my playthrough, my tav and Astarion had a sort of sibling like relationship: being on near opposite sides of the character archetype spectrum and disagreeing on a lot of things, but also being super protective over each other (we dislike Araj in this house). his whole story arc made me want to cry several times. i wish this game had a hug option for every companion so that I could hug everyone, ESPECIALLY Astarion. omg. OMG. when we defeated Cazador and Astarion stabbed him repeatedly, i cheered. i got him to not ascend and I cheered. like Karlach (who i also love and got me the closest to actually crying), i was so fucking proud of Astarion. i could talk about him all day but I think I would just stop there and resort to reblogging post about him for my own sanity.

when thinking of my opinion on Shadowheart, I remember that I didn't like her at all at first. it didn't help that she was racist against the githyanki. but after act 2 and pretty much always having her in my party as the main healer, she REALLY grew on me as a character. imo, I think she has one of the best character arcs and she really meshes well with the other companions. she's not a comic relief character at all, but every joke and sarcastic comment she makes is always a banger. she's my Tav's official best friend. also her act three glow up. that is all

oh also during Shadowheart's quest in act three, I met Viconia DeVir (who i killed) and I laughed my ass off because I ended up naming my Tav Viconia who when playing as her, she was like the EXACT opposite of the evil cult leader. there was definitely a "there can only be one" moment when killing her

I also feel that Wyll is pretty underrated character, which is disappointing since he is actually super interesting as a character. I mean he made a deal with a devil. like. c'mon. now I did sometimes get annoyed with his whole being a hero schtick, but also he's like the most sane character companion imo. i felt bad about him sulking alone at the after goblin killing party and I was tempted to ask him to dance to maybe cheer him up, but I also knew that this would probably lead to a romance with him, which I didn't really want. so I just let him be. i remember the impossible choice we had to make in act three (save Wyll's dad and sacrifice his freedom, or break the contract Wyll made with Mizora and let his dad die). This was actually a really difficult decision to make because like. it's either your dad or your freedom. it's literally an impossible choice to make. i decided to have Wyll be free of his contract with Mizora because I had hope that we could maybe find a loophole to this whole deal. WHICH THERE WAS. I had to undo a 5 whole hours of progress because of a bug with Duke Ravengard not spawning in the iron throne if you progress too much in the lower city before watching Gortash's coronation (which is entirely my fault for being awful at directions and not understanding very obvious instructions), BUT I DID IT. I saved Wyll's dad and had him free from Mizora's servitude! his friendship with Karlach is also extremely sweet. I love just how nice Wyll is. I think he's neat.

KARLACH! My favorite female companion! I was so excited when I was finally able to give her a hug. she's just so sweet and fun and as i said before she got me the closest to crying while playing the game. she almost made me cry not once, not twice, but THREE whole times. first time was of course when she was finally able to touch people. second was when we killed Gortash and she had a crisis about dying soon. third was when I thought she was actually going to die before Wyll offered that she come with him back avernus to kill all the devils (bless Wyll). she's also the number one funniest character in the game which juxtaposes the fact that she almost made ms cry the most amount of times.

speaking of crying, this game made me want to cry three separate times in one day. i made the mistake of playing through Shadowheart's and Astarion's quest on the same day then proceeding to kill Gortash, which you already know what happens after that.

After playing through the game, I agree that camp dad(dy) is the official term to describe Halsin. I'm not attracted to him in any since, so to me he is just dad, but I do agree with this sentiment. also goddamn he tall

Jaheira is the fun aunt of the group and I love her for that. she's a queen.

Minsc is himbo. I also realized that he always has something to say about everything we do, and I didn't realize that until when I talked to him one time and he was speaking of something we did like three quests ago and I had to keep talking to him until he was finally caught up with the current events. it was super hilarious

Also I love Boo! when Minsc introduced me to this space hamster I immediately feel in love with his tiny wittle paw awnd hwis wittle whiskews- also Boo had so much personality and I love him for that.

now. it is time to be down bad. Gale. my beloved. if you have seen the amount of posts and art that I reblog about him, you could probably tell that I am absolutely down bad for this man. I don't know when it started, but holy shit. this man got me kicking my legs and squealing like a little school girl. every romance scene with him got me down bad. he says just the sweetest things and I am on the floor dead from a heart attack. he proposed to me at the end of the game. i was happy :)

other points about Gale: he is super funny. every joke with him is hilarious. Mystra is a bitch. he gives dedicated history professor vibes. his camp outfit looks so comfy. he hates sneaking because his knees hate sneaking. he is best friends with his tressym named Tara, who he summoned NOT because of tressyms being known for being a great familiar, but because he wanted a friend. pleasure domes lol

i guess this is all to say that I love every companion in bg3

i believe I got the best ending (in terms of good or bad endings) in the game, and my hot take is that I actually love the ending of the game! i don't know what other people were talking about when they said it wasn't satisfying. the only critique I can give about the ending is that if you don't romance either Shadowheart or Astarion, you don't really know what happens to them after the events of the game other than they probably have a happy ending. other than that, great ending!

i will say that I do agree with most other people when they say that act 3 is maybe the weakest act in the game. not that it isn't a bad act. i just think it's unnecessary difficult even in explorer difficulty, which I did had to set it to because balanced wasn't cutting it for my smooth brain. i also had difficulty with trying to figure out what to do or where to go for a huge chunk of the act. and if it wasn't for a few helpful guides, I might have accidentally skipped a huge chunk of the quests and gotten a worse ending for a lot of my companions. also yeah. act 3 is extremely buggy. not unplayable buggy, but it did cause a lot of problems with my playthrough including me having to redo 5 hours of progress because of a bug

also fighting the githyanki at any point in the game starting from the end of act 2 is an absolute nightmare. how are a group of githyanki monks a more difficult fight than the literal god of death?

speaking of death, i love the dead three. i think they are amazing antagonists. my favorite with being Thorm. he is just so intimidating and he gave an amazing first impression. it helps that he is voiced by J.K. Simmons.

OH AND RAPHAEL! he is so theatre kid evil and that is amazing! best fight theme in the game. i saved the song on my Spotify before I even got to his fight because I heard it for the first time when I was kind of watching my brother play and I fell in love with the song.

i wish there was more to do in act 2, but in terms of story, it is extremely strong and the act is extremely spooky, which I love. i got scarred for life in the house of healing. though I think the biggest strength with act 2 is Shadowheart. she stole the show in act 2.

also Gale's act 2 romance scene hehe <3

Scratch best boy

Owl bear cub so adorable

oh! also when exploring the szarr palace, I found an owl bear plush and I immediately wanted it to be real. i immediately stole it because it is the best thing ever

i love this game so much! there is so much more I want to speak about, but then this would turn into a novel if I mentioned everything. I might make a post about my Tav later on, but that's for later. i already made a google doc about her profile, but there is so much more that I want to discuss about her outside that doc, so...maybe I can share the doc whenever and maybe let people send asks about the character and I can discuss more in detail stuff that wasn't mentioned

I'm probably gonna take a short break from playing bg3 since I still just want to think about the finale and I spent maybe 80 hours of gameplay on this one run (i say this one run because I have been playing a bit with my brother and friend)

afterwards I want to do a redeemed dark urge run. i might romance Astarion not because I see him in a romantic light, but because I really ship him with the durge thanks to all of the art I have seen

tldr; bg3 is amazing

GET TO KNOW THE MUN

NAME : Marshy/Marsh, Morsh/Morshy, Mushy, Murshy, and everything other misspelling of Marshy

PRONOUNS : She/Her or ( more recently ) They/Them! Either one works because i do not care in the slightest

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION : discord! I'm usually lurking on discord a lot so like... discord is my go-to for ooc communication. ( it's princemorsh c: ). it might say "do not disturb" but it's not really "do not disturb". i'm just... very low energy and have the social battery of a goldfish

MOST ACTIVE MUSE : Mikah. No question, no debate--it's Mikah. They were the first muse I had on this blog and I will forever put Mikah first because i love them so much. more oft than not, if I don't know just who to throw at someone spontaneously, I'll throw Mikah because they're the easiest for me to just.... put somewhere. Dakota, Evan, and Wynn come up behind them a lot, though, and right now Dakota has me in a chokehold

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS : i fucked around on deviantart with friends when i was in middle school but like... i don't count that. so lets just skip forward to the middle of high school and say that i've been rping since i was like 15-16 ish? i'm 27 now so like. about a decade.

BEST EXPERIENCE : tumblr for sure. maybe not when i was like... in high school, but after i entered college, i really began to enjoy it. i've had mikah + them since.... 2016/2017ish i think? and I'm fully convinced that this blog has been my best experience overall. i also got to meet @soulsxng and @feraecor through it ;w; and i'm fully convinced that if not for those two, my experience here would've been so fundamentally different and i have such a hard time visualizing that now lmao. they've introduced me to wonderful people who, again, I think i would have a fundamentally different experience without them being there and i'm really grateful for that 🍏💚 that isn't to say that i haven't met ( and would fucking fight for ) people outside of that but like.... i think i would not have had as much of a motivation to continue writing if i didn't have these two to throw shit at early on again and again and again.

RP PET PEEVE : *does a dumb lil shimmy* i feel like a broken record with this particular peeve BUT like...okay--i enjoy shipping a lot. i love relationships and i love being silly with them and talking about them and reblogging shippy aesthetics and quotes. if you know me, you know that i love me a good fucking ship and i will think about it until the end of time. however, everything takes time. yes, they could end up together but it's not like there isn't a whole alphabet of things between when they meet and when they end up together. I don't want to rush or side step those conversations or interactions ( or ooc discussions about them ) for fluff, even if I too enjoy fluff, smooches, genuine romanticism, n.sfw content a lot.

and if my muse just... happens to not like yours the way we thought they would, that's okay. it doesn't mean that... anyone should pivot ( and i do mean pivot ) to a muse that is more agreeable or "nicer" in terms of... getting a ship. yeah we can stop throwing those two muses together but that doesn't immediately open me up to...making the other two kiss or fuck or say they're dating. esp when you ( not muse, mun ) are very obvious about the other muse being nicer and therefore "you want that one instead". or start getting weirdly pushy to "make it work" with the first muse because they'd be good together. or disregard the boundaries i've set with my muses and have clearly stated in my rules and ooc.

i make jokes and i laugh now about those experiences -- esp because it's happened more than twice. and i don't think anyone's, like... fucking evil for it or i that hate them over it. i just think it was some bullshit because it's the simplest "respect this basic boundary i've set and if you do, i will die for our little blorbos and ship anything with you." it's not a call for anyone to prove anything to me and it's not like... i'm expecting anyone to just turn off any thoughts of shipping my muses and theirs ( because i sure as shit don't ). no, no--i'm just saying it'll take a bit to be actionable and feel right for me to write my muses with said feelings in this way. i'm slow enough as is, just give me time.

PLOTS OR MEMES : both! i like memes for when my emotional battery is like. in the toilet but i want to write something. i fucking adore plotted things, though, and i think that some memes can lead into some plotted adventures! we don't gotta plot everything out, either. we can just throw our goblins against the wall and see where they stick--it's fine with me. sometimes, we can map out their entire lives and still not be able to cover everything that they're going to do.

i think it really depends. i definitely don't think the two are mutually exclusive and like... you can use one to contribute to the other.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES : i like to write a lot so i'll err on the side of long threads. it takes a bit to find my groove and.... figure out what I want to say but often times, i find myself deleting things from my replies because they are a little too long and i don't want to make anyone feel like i'm dumping multiple paragraphs on them.

if it's a plotted thread or ask, though, you're getting a fucking novel and i'm not compromising on that :)

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES : for the most part, no. there are bits and pieces of my persona or things i would say/wear/do here and there.... but as a whole, i'm pretty different from my muses. i... don't think people would like me much if i was like any of my muses fr, though, so i'm good with just being me, myself, and I

i stole this from @distopea some time ago so steal it from me

[willowser]

Hey hey Willow heyyyy ✨ I'll apologize in advance for coming with silly tots only!

But you know when you admire someone and you like the way they think and everytime they say something you're like !!!!!!!! YES EXACTLY!!! and you giggle at silly lil things they've said or how they've said them cause it makes you feel so pffttt 💓 and you live up in your silly lil head like ah yes I'd love to be their friend, and all that?

I know you know where I'm going lol but yeah that's how I think of you because I apreciate you and what you do so!! much!! and it's insane? I mean cause I'm just an internet peep (lol) and we dont know each other and that's wild to my silly lil head!!!

Art and love for it can do so much I'm sighing big sighs.

I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you for sharing what you do and the way you do it and and and for being so kind as you do it. And yeah also I'll go to war, bake a cake and even do the laundry for you.

Also sorry I'm being so INTENSE!!! And basically writing a love letter under candle lights lmao I just never do this talking to ppl I think are cool kinda thing lol

I hope you have a great day/night forever and ever. Mwah!

oh, my heart and my soul — you are so correct !! art and the love for it !! how it connects across this great big world, across time-zones and reservations and insecurities and blooms fully in the great volume of our joy !!! you mean so much to me. you really, truly do.

you know, it's not just about our fanfiction, our blorbos and our 2d men and even our little stories; it's about the community and the love it brings ! especially in the wake of my little upset LOL my heart is so full at those of you that came out of the wood works to be there for me — those of you that have ALWAYS been there for me, on my worst days. i'm just an internet peep too ! just a guy on my puter !! and yet here we are ! how far we've come ! the love we have !

this little space is just such a haven of joy for me, and, again, it's not even necessarily about the writing itself or bakugou, especially not about the notes or refrogs or any of that; i say this all the time and it probably sounds childish and silly, but i really view this little corner here, with all of you, as our little space to sit together and hold hands and take turns talking about the things we like, what excites us, what nestles into our hearts and lives there, what pains us — all of it ! i feel so connected to all of you ! and as someone that was shamed and made to be embarrassed of fanfiction when i was younger and growing up — i'm so happy we've all managed to find each other here !

i want this to be a safe space where our creativity can flow together ! i want us all to be included, i want us all to be appreciated, i want us all to be heard, and it means so much to me that yall have done that for me as well ! day in and day out. rain or shine. this is our clubhouse ! and negativity isn't allowed in ! there's no place for it, i won't acknowledge it, i enjoy living my life trying to be as kind as i can, and i want to spread all of it to you, as best i can !

i sound so unhinged !!! LOL !! i am writing furiously in the candle light in my return letter to you, so quickly that ink is getting everywhere and that my handwriting is illegible akhfakhfa but i am always so grateful, to all of you ! and whenever i get such heartfelt messages like this — from those of you that have said before that you don't usually reach out, that this is the first time you're sending messages — i'm so honored that you would trust me with that ! that you deem me worthy of your vulnerability !! i have just so much love in my heart for all of you he he and thank you for being here with me 🥺

and thank you to YOU especially, dear. your message will live inside my lil brain forever. you are my friend. we do know each other, in ways that transcend identity and physical presence ! we are baking the cake together. we are folding the still-warm laundry side by side 🥺

[ninamodaffari]

Asking you here because I wanted it to be seen and I think it’s a good question—Our characters in some shape or form, while they may not be us in full, often have a part of us in them, whether intentionally or unintentionally. What part of you is in Yuri? When we see Yuri, what facet of you are we looking at?

Ahhh such a good question my friend! (I love getting questions about Yuri by the way, anyone feel free)

Yuri is a lot of my gender envy and eurphoria packed into one little blorbo. He is my dream of getting top surgery one day, looking more masculine but also androgynous, and he has the confidence to talk to people and be outgoing that I wish I did.

But -- more aspects of Yuri in myself? Definitely his humor, his silliness, and his empathy. He also has my ADHD and is probably on the spectrum (like I am). We're both Geminis as well, and love playing small little pranks on people.

We also both have mommy and daddy issues (go figure :P)

[happistar]

Okay, my friend assigned everyone in our friend group Be More Chill characters, and I got Jeremy. Is this good? What does this say about me? Thank you in advance.

Your welcome, dear anon! Any excuse to talk about my blorbos >:)

Not sure how knowledgeable about bmc you are but a basic rundown of Jeremy is that:

He’s the main character, an angsty teenager whose parents separated (his dad isn’t taking it well, has one (1) friend (Michael), is incredibly anxious about everything and is a bit of a loser, has a crush on a theatre kid named Christine, takes a pill sized supercomputer called a squip to get popular and impress this girl, and almost ends up allowing said supercomputer to take over the entire world. (oops!)

Also he’s a little neurodivergent. And very silly (there’s a whole segment where he and Christine just make Noises at each other (I love them)).

So to answer your question about “is that good?”:

I don’t really know? I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily good, but it’s not bad either. Kinda up to interpretation!

I at least can say I certainly relate to him probably the most of all the characters, and I don’t think I’m alone in this.
