By the way, a lot of readers tend to be surprised about it whenever I talk about it so here's another post to say that independent projects literally live and die by their audience's enthusiasm!! Even if YOU can't support something financially, spreading the word or making fan stuff to create a cool space for other folks to hang out in and engage with the work is just as important! My own comic was going to end this December without funding, and the only reason we've made as much progress as we have towards the goal was because my readers made such an effort to help it find the support it needs.

Indie creators are on our own out here, the only thing that can help us is the audience!! Every share or comment helps even if you think it doesn't!! Literally just existing in a tag so it's not totally dead when someone else goes looking is contributing something really significant to the projects you love, please don't forget how much power you hold as a Reader Of Things.

So, if you've been following me for a while, you might remember this unspecified naruto character that I have a feud going on with. While I was rewatching the Chunin exams arc 2022/23, I spotted this old fuck:

If you remember this time period of me posting, you might also know that I was quite pissed at him. He didn't do anything, but why is this minimum fourty year old fuck here??? That's not a shinobi, that's a distinguished gentleman. Get him out of the army. My man literally has his hitai-ate tied in a bow?? Hello??

But. It gets crazier.

you might think that this is a regular screenshot of mr.bow but NO! This is him still sitting in the exams room after the tenth question was asked. BOW MAN PASSED THE THEORETICAL CHUNIN EXAMS. That's crazy! This man probably was in the forest of death, IN THAT OUTFIT.

And if you thought that was all. Here's my new discovery-

HE'S CANON. HE EXISTS IN THE NARUTO MANGA THIS IS AN ACTUAL CHARACTER. NOT JUST SOME FUCKER MADE UP BY STUDIO PIERROT.

Not to be sassy but how can they hug with two left arms??

oh dear anon, anyone can hug no matter the arm situation :) besides Toast is 8+ feet and uses the other left arm to pick people up

properly drew my 2 skyrimlians; Agnes, the tryhard failure, and the recently born Gorshi, the 'neat' one.. sometimes a good guy, sometimes a bad guy. sort of polar opposites maybe.

and their respective horses !!! 😝🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

Every Boromir hater makes my enormous love for him grow stronger. Sorry you couldn't understand him, I get him tho and we're holding hands and the whole of Gondor is laughing at you

Erik Lehnsherr is a better man than me, because if a little twink that thinks the world is sunshine and rainbows would have told me "They are just following orders" I would have bitch slapped him all the way to next week.

That alone is proof that they are gay, because if Charles would had told any other jew something along the phrase "They are just following orders", He wouldn't have made it off the fucking beach, let alone continue to be treated like a "friend".

Like for real Charles is so lucky Erik is gay for him. There isn't a single jew, let alone a holocaust Survivor that would have let that slide as smoothly as Erik did.

Being a pretty twink saved his life from his own stupidity.

btw yes, I'm also still stuck thinking about how in the cutscene at the start of the attack of Astarion's siblings, Astarion himself is standing right next to your bed.

Every time that scene is mentioned or brought up on my dash, I just keep thinking about how the bed the PC is shown using in the long rests (which seems to me like the top left one as you enter that side-room), and the one in which he's presumably been resting, are basically on the very opposite ends of the room.

like... sure, it already has me scratching at the walls to think about how, when unromanced, he probably felt something was wrong and went immediately to wake you and let you know (trust!!! friendship!!!), but it has me extra feral to think that he had abandoned the bed he had originally claimed in favor of yours, and was sprung from his lover's embrace by the arrival of his siblings. (Because you can't talk about cuddling, and cuddliness, and call yourself "cuddly Astarion" in the same scene, without actually cuddling sometimes lol.)

I kind of like to imagine that even on top of it being self-defense, springing to his feet so fast, there could also be something instinctively protective in the fact that he so quickly puts his own body between you and danger.

I mean,

right before the camera would focus on him, he's bent forward, snarling at them to get away, coiled to strike even unarmed (well. as unarmed as a vampire can be), and only relaxes into the conversation-pose when you stir, and Aurelia speaks.

And like, that doesn't feel like a conscious action, or even much of a purposeful decision from a mechanic standpoint (most likely the devs needed him to stand there-ish for there to be enough room for the PC to get up, and stand next to him for the conversation's camera angles to make sense), but I do like to imagine that at this point in the relationship, he just... acts without thinking, and puts himself into the more dangerous position on instinct. It lines up very nicely with that sweet, rather earnest line he says in the Wyrm's Lookout scene. (PC: "All that matters to me is that you're safe." Astarion: "I know you do. It matters to me, as well. I want to be able to protect you, too.")

... The rest of his "this is for us, this is to protect you, we're a team" lines are of course calculated, manipulative bullshit, and taking them at face value would be a mistake even if there is a kernel of truth at their core, but I think that one is genuine, and it's corroborated by this unthinking jump to your defense.

In response to the couple of posts you shared where Oscar makes some baller strawberry muffins, I wanted to share a strawberry muffin recipe! These are a summertime favorite of mine : )

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour (360 grams)

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter softened (226 grams)

1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300 grams)

2 large eggs room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup milk (240 mL)

1¾ cups diced fresh strawberries

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C) 

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high until they are light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. 

Reduce the speed to medium. Add the eggs one at a time, beating until well combined before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla.

Reduce the speed to low and alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk until combined. Usually 3 times back and forth between dry ingredients and milk will get everything mixed in. 

*Note: Stop mixing once the batter has only a few streaks of flour remaining.  The batter will finish mixing when you fold in the strawberries.

Using a spatula, gently fold in the strawberries, then spoon into a muffin tin that is either greased, or lined with muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with a touch more sugar, then bake for 18-20 mins til the tops are golden, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.      

Cool and Enjoy! 

GAHHH THOSE SOUND SO TASTY TYSM
