Hmm, wonder what he could cover those holes with :3c
#Doodles#Handplates#UT#Fellplates#UkaGaster's answers about Toriel really interest me :3c#As evidenced by the quote caption lol - but his other ones are very interesting too! Since it sounds like she's still around!#Poor classic Handplates!Gaster believed Tori dead for such a long time while she was at the Ruins#Meanwhile Fellplates!Gaster is just like ''? I saw the Queen last week she threw me into the pricker bushes? -.Ć²'' lol#But anyhow lol ā™Ŗ The implications that they're still in each other's vicinity really makes me curious about their relationship!#And how Toriel might react to knowing that someone - someone other than her - is having So Much Success on one of her sore spots#Not just of having children but of the constant reminders of Gaster's success where she has to live every day with a heavy heart for her own#Being cruel to him over it - well that's just par for the course isn't it ā™Ŗ#He mentions that she's much more of an emotional sadist - insulting him and then making it Very clear that she does Not approve of the holes#''They're ugly and you should feel ashamed for drawing so much attention to something so unsightly''#I do think that her knowing that he's so intent on being kind and merciful and then twisting the knife on how much he's hurting her-#Making him feel guilty for daring to even attempt the betterment of all - for giving pieces of himself away and try to be a good person#''If anyone will break my spirit it will be her'' :)#Although that's all assuming that Toriel even knows about the brothers! :0 When I thought about it later it'd make more sense if she doesn't#It was still too good to not do something with the idea hehe - but imagine her betrayal if/when she found out tho she'd kill him on the spot#Gosh I haven't drawn Tori in foreeeeever I can't even remember the last time#Doing a/nother study on her would probably be fun haha she's rather plain how I draw her currently#I wonder if her Fellplates version would also wear reading glasses hehe#And the bonus :3c Where are the plates featured in Fellplates? Surely it's not just called that as a reference right ā™Ŗ Hehehe

Vasco and Machete are absolutely adorable, your style is so lovely and you draw the softest beds Iā€™ve ever seen in any art ever
.
#thank you!#softest beds is a whole new compliment that's so sweet#let me go off on a weird and personal tangent for a minute#I've always found the concept of sleeping very touching somehow#it's this mandatory resting period literally everyone has to plan their life around no one has the power to avoid sleeping#if you neglect it your mind and body start to break down very quickly#sleep is such a neutral state of being no one is particularly sad or happy or evil or good while they're asleep they're just logged off#sleeping feels nice it's rejuvenating it's one of the few universal pleasures every single person has an access to#and I find it terribly cute how people have different little bedtime rituals#socks on socks off various pillow and blanket arrangements certain sounds that make them sleepy etc#and sleeping next to someone is such an act of trust#it's extremely intimate as is sex doesn't necessarily have to factor into it#getting comfortable and going unconscious with someone at the same place at the same time that just touches my heart#especially if you're invited into their bed which is a very private space a person's own little nest where the world can't reach them#even if you fall asleep in public transport there's this vulnerability to it and for the most part people respect the sanctity of sleep#and tend to leave sleeping people alone at least in my limited experience#I like drawing my characters sleeping because it feels like I'm doing them a favor granting them a little respite#anonymous#answered

I miss you Lornaā€¦ this is such a mess
This is an old message and I had several other similar messages, but I miss you guys and hope youā€™re all doing well!! Iā€™m sorry to see nothing has improved.
I saw I was kindly mentioned by @awesomefringey and some other commenters the other day, so just wanted to log in and say hello and log back out for a few more months. šŸ’•
Sending so so much love to all of you. Take care of yourselves and each other, please.
The video is still on YT.
#Anywayyyyy#The fandom added a whole lot more C to my C-PTSD#So a nice random message every few months instead of a freshly posted death wish is LOVELY.#Donā€™t fret. On meds and therapied but fresh tf out of money from it so @ L and Hā€¦ lornasaurusrexx at g*ail is the PayPal if ur bored šŸ™ƒ#I hate to be like this but protect your hearts. Theyā€™ll never be able to look out for you guys and they feed these trolls ammo for snacks#and it seems to have only gotten worse. Gotta keep them hets hetbaited for their money whilst actively encouraging them to bully yall? Why?#STILL!? At this point it feels like theyā€™ve both chosen that path deliberately now and I find it quite gross. but Iā€™m also very far removed#So donā€™t worry about my opinions. Keep trusting your own intuition!!! You all see it. I love you guys and your beautiful hearts and empathy#But I hope they can sleep at night knowing the absolute fucking genuine WRECKAGE they left across the Big Gay War generation/era of Larries#Donā€™t worry guys Iā€™m just as dramatic as ever. None of this has anything to do with them coming out or anything. Just how we were treated.#But trust I fuckin mean that shit from the deepest darkest pit of my Demon Larrieā„¢ļø heart. They encouraged this. šŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø#Anyone who cares about my actual life updates: Iā€™m a school nurse now and will be working at a bougie summer camp over break#Had a surgery I needed. Got new tattoos and piercings. In a happy and healthy relationship with the best dude for almost a year now.#OH and I went to New Zealand last year with Prettytruthsandlies!!!! We made a pact back in our Big Gay War/college days to go. And we DID!!#I got overstimulated and overfed and puked in Hobbiton. šŸ¤£ (It was the best time of my LIFE GENUINELYšŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹)#Okay BYE LOVE YOU GUYS#There are better and more humane ways to maintain a closet ..like literally STFU entirely.

#oh my god dont read the tags. it breaks for everyone :( but on a more personal level#for my gf whos sinking deeper into something n i cant even help bc im a wreck myself but i am so so scared to lose her#still havent even been able to book a psych appointment n i rlly dont know where to go with all these ..em*tions#Guys i rlly dont understand one thing. how come one random freak whos in ur life at some point can derail a whole person like eons later#jeopardise their whole future just by crossing some lines for funz i really dont understand this#not fair not fair at all this is evil#and becasue u got unlucky someone wanted to be disgusting u have to carry the consequences#i rly still cant even say it i still cant even write it#i dont even know how . irl the only perosn i told in some capacity#is dealing with her own trauma and i hate that jsut being understanding is not enoughlike#Wow Lmao Its just Funny How it Shapes You. & U Can Never bury it forever becuz it will always catch up to youšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚#AND THE PAST CAN NEVER BE ERASED šŸ˜ƒšŸ˜ƒšŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”ŖšŸ”Ŗ#at least my gf has been taking steps to deal with it for.3 yrs and i just never even#LOL i feel like such a coward but the sh*me and the g**lt associated with the Thing..r so overwhelming i cant even admit it#what would i even do at the psych appointment like straight up what am i gonna say Lol#hai iam here to process something i dont actually remember probably becasue i was a child but imnot sure. n id rather#kms than tell u how i know šŸ˜‚. So thats also why my heart breaks. for that little girl who was a ball of shame i guess and no matter#how much i cognitively.like rationally know its not my fault the ball of shame n guilt is still there#n it swallows me every time i vaguely start 2 think about acknowledging the Th*ng#or whatever. And thats just my end of the deal but my gf has it worse genuinely bc she remembers everything n still has to see the freak#n it went on for yrs n her family doesnt know n heres the worst thing hes a beloved family member a sweet boy with struggles of his own#well i hope he walks into traffic for doing what he did to her

starting to realise that damn maybe there really is just something fundamentally wrong with me
I have more dumb shit to say about it but you can only have 30 tags?? that's some fucking bullshit. anyway tl;dr: fictional characters not real, I'm depressed about it, I'm a mess my life's a mess everything sucks, I'm crying, life sucks. I've got issues.
#I don't want to be dead#I want to be alive but. not here. there's nothing that could happen in my actual life that would make it good enough to be worth it#I feel so fucking pathetic and gross and broken but the only people I want to be with are fictional#I can't even do the fandom thing and make friends that way. I don't want to talk about them. I want to be with them and nothing else#I'm just. stuck here and I'll never be happy and there will never be anything that I want as much as that#it's so. fucking. pathetic#but like what is there in real life. what could happen that would be good enough. I'll finish uni one way or the other. I'll get a job.#maybe we'll be able to have our own house someday#and then? what then?#it'll happen over and over again. I'll fall in love with these fictional worlds and these fictional people and it'll break my heart every#time again and again until I die#there's nothing else. there's nothing that I want. nothing in real life will ever feel that good because. obviously it won't. it's real.#it's not perfect it's not made up by me specifically to be everything I want#I can't rewrite the same scenario over and over again in my mind until he says exactly the right thing to make me feel better#I'll never have these perfect friends or this perfect guy or this exciting but safe life because it's. just. not real#I just#I don't know how I can keep doing this#I'm so tired#I can't keep feeling like this#it feels so fucking bad#how goddamn embarrassing is it to be an adult in your 30s and just. lie in bed sobbing until you fall asleep because your fucking fictional#crush isn't real and your fictional friends aren't real and you'll never know what happiness feels like#because it can't even get close to the fucking joy you feel when you think about them. it's everything#it feels so fucking good just for a moment and you need it over and over again but you know you can never have it#I'm driving myself insane#genuinely insane.#to the point where every time it gets worse. every time I get these feelings I feel higher and lower than ever before#it feels better and more intense and more amazing. then I realise I still have to be here. I still can't go away. and it feels like dying.#every time a part of me dies.#it's so fucking silly. I know how melodramatic this all is. oh wahh life is so boring and I'm sooo sad over these fictional people I'm gonn

writing dragon age fanfiction is so so so so hard for me because every time i spot another historical inaccuracy thatā€™s like ā€œi donā€™t care that itā€™s fantasy they have the same level of technology this is WRONGā€ i have to have a moment of like. ā€œkaed NO ONE ELSE will EVER care about this. you watch ā€˜ranking period dramas on corset accuracy both in construction and writingā€™ videos on youtube for entertainment normal people simply do not give a FUCK about medieval castle layouts!ā€
and yet this cycle continues, because the dragon age devs so so so so clearly DID research but they did BAD research and it HAUNTS me. like WHYYYYY is there only one courtyard that isnā€™t even really a courtyard in castle cousland WHY is the ā€œmain hallā€ huge with no furniture while the great hall ā€œdining roomā€ is tiny as fuck and in a horrible to access spot WHY are there no ovens in the kitchens where the FUCK do they bake the breaaaad!! like ok fine cool servants get beds in thedas iā€™ll bite. that fucks hard, actually! but WHY are there more servant rooms than rooms for visiting nobles do you honestly think anybody in the middle ages fucking had servant rooms???? they slept on the FLOOR in the GREAT HALL! and WHY is there a fucking library and a ā€˜treasuryā€™ (which what the fuck is THAT there should be a DON-JON in there you locked your valuables in the TOWER at the TOP, not in ONE room centrally located on the first floor with TWO guards!!) like i KNOW it was for level design i KNOW it was but oh my fucking g-d itā€™s gonna KILL ME to write out creeping through corridors when there WERE NO CORRIDORS! like look at this. look at this.
Tumblr media
castle cousland: stupid, awful design, honestly they kinda asked to be coupā€™ed with their garbage unsurvivable castle that supposedly nobody sieges regularly even though itā€™s literally a death trap. there is ONE main exit, no way to trap your enemies, and only one official guard post that i can see. fuck awful.
Tumblr media
harlech castle in wales: it took 115 years for someone to successfully take this castle, and itā€™s withstood COUNTLESS sieges, you can go visit it right the hell now if you go to wales (not at all getting into the evilness of the english building castles in wales, thatā€™s not the point iā€™m trying to make.) see how the outside makes it so that even if your enemies breach the walls, to actually reach anyone important they have to survive the volleys of arrows from the ramparts? and then presumably kill everyone ON the ramparts, or the minute you go to open a door or try to drag someone out, youā€™re going to get shot full of arrows. thatā€™s after breaching TWO heavy doors (which would require a battering ram both times) which would wake up the entire castle LONG before they got anywhere NEAR the heir to the castleā€™s wife and child.
and before somebody says ā€œoh well kaed maybe you just donā€™t know your castle building periods very wellā€ think again. i know my castle building periods. that style above is concentric (harlech castleā€™s initial construction was finished in 1289 and was one of the first finished castles in england in this style,) which came after the keep and bailey style, which came after the motte-and-bailey style, which came after the burh (which arguably WASNā€™T a castle but whatever,) etc. there are no fortified castles in english history that look like castle cousland, because itā€™s fucking indefensible. now, this does lead to the question of ā€œoh, well, what is the timeline for the game, maybe thereā€™s something you missed!ā€ so letā€™s examine the time period of origins:
at the very, very latest, origins could be based off of the BEGINNING of the british ā€œwars of the rosesā€ (the civil wars between the various members of the house plantagenet) which began in the 1450sā€” this is personally what /i/ think origins is based off of, for a couple reasons. 1) trevelyan was a real personā€” g.m. trevelyan was a british historian who wrote about the wars of the roses, and in one instance thereā€™s a quote of his the devs almost verbatim used for the design of the free marches: ā€œthe Wars of the Roses were to a large extent a quarrel between Welsh Marcher Lords, who were also great English nobles, closely related to the English throneā€¦ā€ they ixnayed the part about the marcher lords being ferelden nobles, i imagine because it was too complicated, but trevelyan? marcher lords? a close relationship with this country? (i.e. like somewhere that might take in their refugees after a catastrophe?) cmon. 2) because ferelden is fucking huge and the histories are kinda weird, because they arenā€™t 1 for 1, iā€™m gonna say that we have to use the norman conquest of england as our unification date. in other contexts i wouldnā€™t try to argue this, but in this one, iā€™m saying 1066 is the unification date of the anglo-saxon kingdoms into england. calenhad gives us a hard unification date for fereldenā€” the first landsmeet was in 5:42 exalted, ergo origins is 388 years later. the wars of the roses started in 1455, 389 years after the norman conquest ended. 3) the wars of the roses happened because of a succession crisisā€” admittedly, these two succession crises are very, very different, but there are definitely parallels between loghain and henry vi and alistair and edward iv. henry vi was crowned at a young age (loghain largely ruled for maric at various points in his life, starting when he was very young,) and was very ineffectualā€” he suffered from an unknown mental illness which made him extremely unstable and unable to rule for large periods of time. loghain, on the other hand, ruled when the /theirins/ werenā€™t stable, so you argue he had the oppositeā€” meanwhile, his policies WERENā€™T sustainable, whatever you might think of him. loghain is too shaped by his own experiences to be a truly good leader, and by the time his rule/anoraā€™s rule is threatened by cailan, heā€™s sacrificed enough of his principles that heā€™s willing to commit atrocities (notably, margaret of anjou ruled during the worst parts of her husbandā€™s mental instability, which again could apply to loghain OR anora, as they ruled fairly jointly after a certain point.) edward iv was the son of richard of york, who was eligible for the throne at a very young age (18 to alistairā€™s 19) because his father was dead. he was coaxed and led into battle by his cousin, the earl of warwick (also known as the kingmakerā€” sound like a protagonist you might know?) thatā€™s about where the similarities end, but thatā€™s largely because alistair is a grey wardenā€” if he werenā€™t, heā€™d probably be able to have kids and end the question of succession. but he canā€™t, which, assuming the devs eventually remember, WILL lead to another civil war. hence why i say this is at the BEGINNING of the wars of the roses.
another option that could be argued but makes much less sense and i have no evidence for is that alistair has similarities to edward ii (second son who only became king because his brother died, married a more powerful woman to consolidate power, not very good at ruling, no offense to alistair,) but that still puts origins at like 1307-1327. in either case, they would have been using concentric castlesā€” and given what time period castle cousland was originally built in, it would have been built as a motte-and-bailey, which would NOT have lasted four hundred years. so the castle had to have been rebuilt, and bryce cousland would have had to update that rebuilt castle, because no one lived in it during the orlesian occupation. so where the hell does this winding, weird multi-level design come from?
i GUESSā€” and this is SO charitableā€” they could have designed castle cousland based off of a country house design from the mid 1500s, but none of them look like that, either. theyā€™re exclusively rectangular, for one thing, and one of the huge bragging rights of owning one was that they werenā€™t fortifiedā€” they came into fashion during a period of relative stability under the tudor rule, when it was considered guache and maybe even treasonous to build a fortified castle. ferelden is NOWHERE NEAR a period of stability, if anything at the end of origins theyā€™re entering their greatest period of INstability, given what happens in inquisition, and that no matter who ends up on the throne, thereā€™s no way for them to have children. so thereā€™s NO way this castle is a country house, or inspired by one.
leaving us with the final conclusion that a) the game devs definitely did do research into the time period because i can fairly directly trace a line between the event i think inspired origins and the plot, but they didnā€™t do enough research to figure out what the everloving fuck the BUILDINGS looked like. so these castles make no fucking sense and canā€™t possibly be called historically accurate even with the fantasy defense, and b) i care WAAAY too much about this for somebody who isnā€™t even a medieval historian. my area of expertise is the paleolithic, i have no clue why this bugs me so bad i spent four fucking hours writing this post.
#anyone: so what are you getting up to on spring break? me: uhhhhhhhhhhh *spends four hours writing a bioware calloit post about their#historically inaccurate castles* Normal Things#it took me four hours bc i had to pare it down like 8 times btw. i could have kept going#btw there are image descriptions on the maps#dragon age origins#dragon age#long post#actually i take it back i DO know why it bugs me and itā€™s because they made this g-dawful design part of the plot on every single occasion#like highever? would never have been sacked if not for this design. redcliffe? whole story is about infiltrating this castle through these#extensive dungeons they never would have fucking built bc thereā€™s no use for them. the palace in denerim (which doesnā€™t even have a name)#is so so so fucked. we canā€™t even get into it but i HATE it. denerim is a city small enough that not all the banns arls and teyrns can have#their own estates in the city meaning they would need rooms in the palace dedicated to them. where are those rooms??? ifā€™s tiny as hell. all#they needed to do was to put up some extra wings you canā€™t go into thatā€™s all they needed. iā€™m so so so annoyed by this itā€™s such a pet#peeve of mine. especially since skyhold is SOOOOOO good ifā€™s the pinnacle of dragon age buildings no one else will ever be her#thereā€™s multiple courtyards. thereā€™s a garden. thereā€™s the stables centrally located there are concentric walls thereā€™s that weird palace#thing in the center with the worldā€™s hottest great hall. thereā€™s a FORGE thereā€™s a keep thereā€™s a guest wing thereā€™s a tabern thereā€™s#ANOTHER tower you can build there are sentry posts thereā€™s a gatehouse thereā€™s a bridge no one will ever replace her in my heart i know this#skyhold baby you are so so so sexy and delicious and everything a fantasy castle in a video game should be MWAH

(a love story in five parts:)
"You could do anything to me, and I'd let you. ... Tell me you love me, at least. Please. I need to know somebody does."
"I always think of a passage from the Symposium, this allegory about people who started off as two halves of a whole, but then something cut them apart and they spend their whole lives looking for the other half so they can fit themselves back together. And that's how it feels. It hurts. It's like I lost you before I was born."
"I know why you fuck me like you wish you could kill me. I know everything that gets you off, you can't help but show me. There's no part of you that I can't see."
"Because it wasn't as if they'd never hurt each other before-- between them, it was a kind of tenderness, writing themselves onto each other's bodies with every mark they left. It was a promise: I'm here, I've always been here. Pain was a necessary consequence, but that was all it was."
"All they were-- all they had ever been-- was a pair of sunflowers who each believed the other was the sun."
x. "These Violent Delights", Micah Nemerever

SHARE 10 FACTS ABOUT YOUR MUSES
So I got two asks asking me about Sweetest Abrogail/Abby SO HERE YA GO! thanks @acrossthesestars and @nikolaislanstovs/@dragonsbone
She has a properly giant maine coone cat whose black and grey, and his name is Theraxis because everyone else has dragons and she doesn't.
The 'I can fix him' energy plus 'Excuse me they asked for no pickles' but all done in the sweetest, nicest way possible.
Officially, she follows the Seven, however the Strong family still follow the Old Gods. You could call the mashup 'Faith of the Weirwood', which in my headcanon, a lot of Riverland families follow. An amalgamation of the Old Ways and the ways of the Seven (and if you're a GoT mod player on CK3, you know what i'm talking about).
Abby is a Pisces! (she was almost a Taurus but a lot of my OCs in the recent past were Taurus and I needed a change)
Abby is about three months younger than Helaena, and seven months older than Aemond.
She enjoys the opportunity to go horseback riding, and wants to get more comfortable with it (there just hasn't been the opportunity). She's learned archery and enjoys it.
Aemond taught her how to wield a dagger after Harwin died. She is pretty good at it but doesn't like to/want to have to use it. But the idea was that she would be able to defend herself and Helaena
Helaena Targaryen was her first kiss. Sorry boys.
At night, Abby will wake up and pace around, checking the locks on the doors and the fire and the windows to make sure that a fire doesn't happen in the middle of the night and she can't escape. It gets harder when she can't check on her loved ones.
Abby is called The Marchpane Maiden, but her favorite dessert is strawberry and cherry tarts
