I need to talk about Gale’s insecurities. For all his noted overconfidence, this is a man whose entire self-worth is based on his prowess with magic.

He was a “gifted” kid whose abilities started out well advanced for his age, just to begin with. He very much thinks of himself as annoying, which you learn in the Durge playthrough after the dead bard incident, when he says that if being annoying we’re reason enough to kill someone, he’d “be dead 1000 times over!”.

If you romance him and convince him not to take the Crown after the second romance scene in Act 3, he mentions how he’s used to being seen as over-confident and even self-deluded regarding his abilities, which I think would only make him posture even harder as a defence mechanism.

I think for a long time, his relationship with Mystra was likely something he used as a flex on other wizards who had been cruel or mean to him, based on how he brings it up, when he does.

But what gets me is his utter relief whenever he isn’t rejected by Tav. When he first opens up to you, he has pretty much already prepared himself to be kicked out of the party. He’s even got a plan for when his bomb goes off, to do the least amount of harm he can, and when he says “Even I’ve grown tired of the sound of my own voice” I swear his voice cracks and he sounds like he could cry.

If you romance him, when he tells you he’s in love with you, if you say “I love you too” instead of going straight for a kiss, he’s once again relieved. Despite the fact that you’re there with him and have been romancing him, he still has a doubts that you would return his feelings.

It’s no wonder he made the mistakes he did. This is a man who’s been told his entire life that he’s annoying. Though he’s had other mortal lovers (and we don’t know how those relationship were, only that they clearly ended), he is clearly primed for rejection. And then his ex-girlfriend, the goddess of magic herself, tells him she’ll only forgive his transgression if he kills himself.

Like I said at the top, his precocious talent for the weave is the entire basis of his self-worth, unless and until Tav assured him that he has value beyond his mastery of the Weave. It’s no wonder he felt like he had to “prove” to Mystra that he loved her enough. As long as his self-esteem was based on his magical abilities, he was never going to feel like he was good enough, especially for the goddess who is all magic. He was never going to be able to feel as though he was loving her well enough.

I guess what I’m saying is that his “ambition” and his hubris make so much sense when you consider the hinted-at reasons for his insecurities, his clear desire for friendship and affection (he summoned a Tressym who became a lifelong companion and a lava mephit or something with whom he is still in touch; he even says he didn’t have friends growing up), and his main talent/special interest.

I think he’s a superbly-written character, and I definitely feel like he deserves neither death nor godhood, but a good and comfortable life surrounded by a loving family who encourage him to be his best self.

nah because crofty is genuinely insane because why would you say that about your coworker???? and to his face??? "this man knows lewis hamilton. friends, teammates, childhood buddies, rivals, everything but a lover." hello???? why are you saying that to nico rosberg's face???? why are you, as the lead f1 commentator, writing fanfiction about your coworker???? about him and his ex???? and also, what an insane thing to say about someone else's relationship!!! "everything but a lover"... just show them having gay sex onscreen, it would be less intimate than whatever the hell you just said.

A Conversation with Fernando Alonso

Publication: The Athletic

Publish Date: September 21, 2026

Fernando is keen to discuss his recent success with Real Madrid when we sit down at his boyfriend’s home in Montreal. Well, one of his homes. The creative director of luxury fashion brand, Strulovitch Designs, Lance Stroll has an additional property in London and another in Miami. The pair oscillate between these residences and Fernando’s own homes in Dubai and Spain. For now, they are enjoying the beginnings of fall around the cozy fire of a multi-million dollar property in the heart of the city.

“So things are good for you right now then?” I ask, as Fernando occupies himself with petting his and Lance’s dog, a lounging black lab named princess.

“You’ve got the World Cup, the house, the dog, what’s next?”

Fernando grins, it is the mischievous look of a man who already knows what he wants and how he plans to get it. The same look he is known for giving moments before helping his team to score a goal. It is why the Spaniard has attracted such attention during his long stint with the team, his relentless drive and determination to get it. This year, that commitment to success has earned him his third World Cup.

“Eh, I don’t know. We see, yes?” Fernando shrugs, the grin grows, and princess huffs. Fernando scratches her behind the ears.

“Maybe next I buy a ring. Maybe I retire. Maybe I go for the fourth.”

“Plenty of options,” I quip.

“Oh yes, plenty.”

@raapija’s football husband/fashion designer husband au, Fernando edition!

Emmrich Volkarin being an older man who is a calm, scholarly sweetheart who loves learning, has a robust vocabulary, an obsession with death as a comfort and not a scary way, is a natural nerdy scientist who is well meaning and wants to help guide and teach others, has a slightly macabre sense of humor and who is intimate and sensual??

Ooh this is gonna go great next to my other one of these

DISCOVERIES OF THE NEW WELCOME HOME UPDATE (SPOILERS?)

NOTE: this is a first cursory glance without getting into things! Also, every video mentioned has a transcript below the video (ctrl+a) to highlight it.

First off the first page! If you zoom out on the left and right there are two eyes watching you @:)

WELCOME

The red drawn house is clickable and leads you to a welcoming audio (clownillustrations.com/i)

There is an out of place letter Y in the Serendipitous Salutations.

In Wally's character description if you click on his canvas itll bring you to a page with another audio file. This one is more direct, and silly! (Clownillustrations.com/will)

NEIGHBOURHOOD

The so-below has a spiral that when clicked brings you to a glitching audio file. The record acts weird and the audio is a series of squeaks and clicks. Most likely Morse code (from Home )!! (Clownillustrations.com/neighbor)

The so-below graphic has been updated to a black void with a white eye and spiral (image below)

If you click the beetle on the bottom right you get another hidden page. This one is a video and a message (looks to be a transcript). It is from Poppy with Frank talking about her recipe. It's pretty sweet haha. Glitches out at the end with Wally @:) (I think there is a freeze frame? The video cannot be replayed nor paused) (Clownillustration.com/9-14-fp)

There is another bug with Eddie that brings you to a video between Eddie and Frank. Glitches out when Wally is mentioned. (Clownillustration.com/8-14-ef)

There is an out of place X letter.

Fun thing! If you select all on the page home doesnt get blued-out.

The O is out of place

ABOUT US

The blue drawn heart is clickable. It brings you to another audio file. Wally is being so silly @:) (clownillustration.com/a)

Overlapped text: "When I unwrapped the first letter, I felt it. I heard it. Open. Open. Open. I want it out. I'm going to get it out."

The wally darling is my favourite line js new I think? Wally is being mentioned more overall.

In the bottom right another bug will appear that leads you to another hidden page. This is a video where Sally and Julie are talking, and "Williford" Wally is mentioned at the end (clownillustration.com/10-14-js)

The yellow drawn star is another link to audio. This one is very helpful @:) (clownillustration.com/i-2)

STICKERS

Top right there is a spider that brings you to a video where Julie and Barnaby are chatting. Glitches out again at the end when Wally is mentioned. (There is an mention during the conversation that he's there, I think that's different than the rest?) (clownillustration.com/11-14-jb)

Theres a few letters that look odd in the first part (in order of appearance): K P I (first one could be C, second could be S, third could be T. Might be in pairs of CK, SP, TI)

I managed to get a small blue orb thing in the top left but clicking did nothing. It is gone and couldn't be selected so that might have been just a my-laptop glitch. Weird though!

None of the stickers or banners are clickable (havent checked names)

There is a Caterpillar on the top right with another video. This one is between Howdy and Barnaby. Also glitches when Wally is mentioned. (Clownillustration.com/12-14-hb)

NEWS

E is out of place

The guestbook has officially been closed! Unless you submitted something a while back you cannot submit anything anymore. Understandable but unfortunate. There is a message to the guest book writers after the most recent update. Please respect boundaries @:)

There is a beetle on the top right that leads to another video between Edie and Howdy. Howdy calls Edie Ed and Julie Jewels @:P. Also glitches when Wally is mentioned (clownillustration.com/13-14-he)

GUESTBOOK

The drawn hello is clickable and leads to another audio. Theres some connectivity issues @:P (clownillustration.com/find)

I am too eepy to go through the rest of the guestbook but there is lots of new messages and images!

There is a little bug hiding in the top right that has another video link. This is a talk between Poppy and Sally. Wally is about @:) (clownillustration.com/2-14-sp)

EXHIBITION

Specifies that Welcome Home started airing on October 11th 1969 until sometime in 1974 (4 to 5 years).

I didnt go through to test the brightness and read the text for all of the images of the gallery. There are multiples with text!

The house drawing on the bottom left is clickable and leads to more audio. It's very friendly @:) (clownillustration.com/understand)

There is a bug on the left halfway down with another video. This is a talk between Howdy and Poppy. Wally is about @:) Glitches when Wally is mentioned (clownillustration.com/1-14-ph)

MEDIA

Theres a lot more on this page that I will go through later!

MERCHANDISE

You need to wait for the butterfly to appear at the Currently Unknown Records subtitle. Leads to another video where Frank and Julie were talking back and forth. It's very Silly @:P. Glitches when Wally is mentioned. (Clownillustration.com/6-14-jf)

OTHER

When trying different possible codes I managed to get a drawn stars on the error page that leads to another audio! This one I did not expect. It shows up after waiting a few moments, either appearing or being drawn in a 2 star or 5 star formation. (Clownillustration.com/soon)

The hidden Wally audios lead to a possible hidden message: "I WILL (HELP?)(FIND?) YOU NEIGHBOR (A?) (I?) (WILL?) UNDERSTAND (YOU) SOON". My guess is "I will help find you neighbour. I will understand soon". But that doesnt explain where "A" and "WAY" would go. It could also read "I will find a way to help you neighbor" (although "to" is not one of our words).

There is another hidden audio you get from clicking the drawn heart of YOU (clownillustration.com/you-1)

YXWVOE still works. Transcript has been added.

WOXYVE now had a cockroach that leads to another video where Barnaby and Home have a conversation. This takes place after his conversation with Julie and Howdy as he mentions both. It glitches out once Wally is mentioned. (Clownillustration.com/14-14-bh)

YWXOEV has a drawing of a phone after a few moments. Another audio with the transcript. Wally is being so Silly @:p (clownillustration.com/way)

VOYWEX works the same. I waited for a while and there were no added text or drawings.

EOVWXY works the same. Fhe webpage is also called answer, just like Wally's hidden audio files. Sounds like Wally is trying to communicate through the static at times?

That's all I found tonight without going through all the new images! It is 2am here, but it's so fun being able to dive into the new update!

By typing in different words you can get audio from HELP and PHONE (seems different than old phone call audio. More has been added, voice has been updated).

THOUGHTS

Also I have a guess that with all the videos the first numbers might put them into a chronological order? If true there may be up to 14 hidden audios as the last one (Barnaby and House) is 14-14 (14 our of 14). Might not work or mean anything if there are duplicate numbers (or they are happening at the same time).

If they can be placed in order, perhaps a new message or secrets can be found with the two letters they all end with! This I will test tomorrow.

Also the eyes appear on all pages out on the left and eight, most likely belonging to Wally as he makes multiple inferences towards eyeballs and him being related (I can see you, I see out of the eyes on my you've drawn, here is how you drawn eyes, etc.)

There has also been a lot of stuff relating to bugs, which Frank directly mentions is his expertise. Frank also is in multiple videos, which seems like there may or may not be a connection. I forget now, but it should be checked if Frank ever asks Wally's opinion since that is when videos glitch and end. If he does not, then that may be a sign that Frank knows more than they're letting on.

Good Bye for now!

If Leander and Sen are both a category of undead (Leander-a necromancer or Lich//Sen - a reanimated corpse) then I think it would be like a root, sprouting in two different ways. Sen’s would explore the storyline of dealing with grief, terminal illness themes, the price of immortality (negatively) and the value of medical consent. Whereas Leander will explore the loneliness of immortality, power hunger/greed, and the ideas of heroism and how they can be perverted/skewed to your own ideals and you essentially "lose the plot" of your code

[youvegot-timetogrow]

Something about Orym and love and absence. Something about his main tether being Zephra and Keyleth and his family and Derrig, and he's been gone gone gone for forever. Something something Will, "still miss him. It's been six years, still miss him". Something something and another something Dorian "Glad you're not here. Wish you were anyway", "I really miss Dorian and sometimes I think it's okay and sometimes I think it isn't" and "I've really missed you" and "Fuck, I miss you". Hmm! Hmmmm!!

[allforthegayphase]

What do you think Jeremy’s mysterious background is? I love hearing everyone’s theories and you mentioned Jeremy doing drugs so I’m curious lol

Okay going full tinhat here 🥸 My Jeremy Knox™️ half theory

Recovering drug addict is the only plausible explanation I could come up with as to why Jeremy has to stay at his family home during the school year; keep receipts for every purchase he makes and report back to his mother’s bookkeeper; and go to a therapist his mother personally chose for him. This sounds an awful lot like something a family would do to their addict relative (not letting him out of sight as much as possible, controlling his financial spendings etc).

Then there’s the whole secret second brother who never gets mentioned in Jeremy’s pov but who we know exists (or existed):

My assumption is that Cat was supposed to say ‘had’. Doubled with Jeremy’s strong reaction to Jean making a morbid joke about Grayson killing himself (btw 10/10 material I laughed; also love the foreshadowing), it leads me to believe that his other brother might have committed suicide.

Also I checked and this scene happens right after the news about Zane’s alleged overdose become public:

Maybe his mom saw the news about a Raven overdosing and was concerned about the Raven on her son’s team possibly having access to drugs as well (also we know Jeremy’s family is already aware of Jean’s less than stellar reputation as his sister Annalise mentions it earlier in the book).

How are Jeremy’s drug addiction, his brother’s suicide and the fall banquet “that broke their family in half” (and made his sister hate exy for some reason) all connected? Idk lol 🥸 Maybe the brother overdosed on Jeremy’s stash. I think Jeremy is definitely involved in his brother’s death somehow, and tbh I’d like to see him be genuinely in the wrong there. Imagine like… the opposite of Riko. Someone who had done something terrible but chose not to let it define him and worked on becoming a better person 🫶 #11 >>> #1

I'm just saying if the dancing scene IS romantic (and I'm trying not to get my hopes up but MY GOD) I am really really insane over the parallel of the first film ending with Lydia dancing in the air on her own, to the possibility of this film ending (or having a scene in it, whatever) with them dancing in the air together like fdjnsfhjk

[youreonyourownkid]

something something "come one, come all it's happening again" and "i was tame, i was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean / don't you worry folks, we took out all her teeth" and "all the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting more" and the entirety of clara bow and taylor opening up the lucky one on tour by saying "this song is about how horrible being famous is"
