[knifearo]

ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story

I recently just pulled the Dorm Uniform Silver Card and one of his homescreen lines is "Whenever I see Malleus carrying out his Hosewarden duties, I think to myself 'there goes the future ruler of Briar Valley'" and all I can think of is Cecil hearing Silver saying that and giving him the widest side eye like "Are the housewarden duties Malleus carries out in the room with us right now????" or something, your guys are delightful.

I ACTUALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD, thANKS—-

Honestly. Real. Oh, to be the one non-Draconian in a dorm swarming with them.

Second verse, same as the first!

A little bit louder and a whole lot worse!

So y'all may or may not remember that around this time last year I had a huge dental procedure and an equally huge bill for it.

Yeah, turns out the dentist's office fucked up my total when they handed it to me and six months later, they tell me I still owe about $3,000.

On top of that, a month later I had one of my four remaining molars crack and about a third of the damn thing sheared clean off of where it was apparently already mostly filling.

So I'm looking at $3,100 in debt (because they were kind enough to pause the interest on their fuck up for all of three months), as much as $1,700 for the fillings I need, and as much as another $2,000 to fix the busted molar.

Needless to say, I've put the GoFundMe back up. Same drill as before, every dollar helps and every reblog counts.

oh my god. it just hit me. the time they met in eden, the first time in crowley's mind, he asked aziraphale a question and instead of smiting him or ignoring him, he answered. for the first time in his demonic existence, someone answered a question for him without any thought, like he deserved to hear the answer. no wonder he immediately fell in love huh

Hello Guild Wars 2 community! A new poll has dropped! 🐦‍⬛

(At least, hopefully new, lol.) I'm curious, which blessing did your Commander get on their first/canon go through the Raven Sanctum in the story mission "The Invitation?" Choose and tell me in the tags why they made their specific decisions :)

Compiled explanations from the wiki below for ease of access:

The trial choices in order:

Save the wounded man or save the healers

Save the spell tome or save the historical record

Save the queen or save the prince

Blessings:

Blessing of Daybreak

"When the fear of beastly claws and a child's pain is made sharp by the knowledge of elders, we make no mistakes. But do we grow?"

Healers -> historical record -> prince

Grace of Dawn

"When wisdom is favored in all things—a healing hand, a text of old, a beloved queen—we lose the sharpened sword of the truly bold."

Healers -> historical record -> queen

Consecration of Morning

"We seek to destroy monsters with sharp claws and icy breath, but do we protect ourselves from the beasts shaped like us, who prey on the young and vulnerable, who seek to rule us?"

Healers -> spell tome -> prince

Invocation of Midday

"When we flee from the things we fear most - the teeth of beasts, the storm of a dragon, a change of power-we risk running backward."

Healers -> spell tome -> queen

Supplication of Midday

"We favor the skill of healers and the wisdom of elders over the uncertainty of the future. But the young take chances, and the young push us forward."

Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince

Consecration of Evening

"We long for the comfort of a healing touch, an ancestral word of wisdom, a leader we know and trust. But comfort is fleeting, and with it comes inertia."

Wounded man -> historical record -> queen

Grace of Dusk

"We sacrifice so much—safety from the claws of death, knowledge of the ages, a steadfast reign—to propel ourselves forward. But if we move too fast, do we risk the inability to stop?"

Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince

Blessing of Twilight

"We try so hard to do the right thing. We heal, we protect our people, we preserve stability. But we cannot control how the winds of fate may shift, and a tight grip can sometimes hurt more than it helps."

Wounded man -> spell tome -> queen

The two Tim Lonnie fics, by virtue of being from Lonnie's POV, intentionally beatify Tim. We learn about Tim's physique, his movements, his way of interacting with the world, and also Lonnie's attraction to him. Especially in In Between Days, I wanted to keep stitching Tim to non-human totems in order to differentiate him from the very human Lonnie. What we don't really get to learn a lot about in explicit terms, is how Tim feels about Lonnie. (If I've done a decent enough job as a writer, we can infer it from the material!)

As a wee insight nobody asked me to give (haha) that informs both stories, I believe Tim is deeply taken, and even intimidated, by this older, steadier and also more physically mature Lonnie. Lonnie has aged in the way that most people do throughout their 30s: he's become a little softer, a little slower, a little grey in his beard... And his lovely locks have all been shaved off since he started balding in his twenties.

Tim, by contrast, hasn't changed a great deal at all. He's lean, his hair is still black, his skin is still youthful... but these are all markers of curtailed development for him. I wanted to keep him sort of suspended in the past, and it's only through Lonnie's acceptance and support he starts to thaw (he doesn't hide his injuries, he indulges in a couple of extra eggs for breakfast).

Lonnie, for Tim, represents a positive, soft, intelligent, confident type of masculinity. We know that this will be very important to Tim, who, in the pantheon of paternal figures has Jack, Bruce and latterly Ra's. Lonnie also represents the possibility for growth and change, and I think Tim considers it almost alchemy, transubstantiation. Lonnie, through becoming content and whole, has unlocked a secret door Tim could never find (Dick found it, and Tim will have felt tremendous relief and loneliness at this).

When Lonnie's doddering around their apartment, perhaps feeling a little dowdy and unkempt, Tim is looking at him thinking: "He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."

alright it’s decided i’m writing second reason’s part II its like way less interesting and deals with mature themes for the most part and i don’t even WANT to write it

but the storyline is not letting me LIVE i need to take it out of the system aka ruin the lives of every character involved bc the voices told me to

[myokk]

1, 13, 16, 20 any and/or all for Eloise 😇

Hi!!!🫶🫶🫶

(sorry I’m so late to this bahahahahahahhahaah…December is a CRAZY month😆) I’ll put the answers under the cut bc I am a yapper🤭 AND THERE IS *A LOT* OF ART & WIPS & TALKING🤭🫶

1) What was the original thought that led to the creation of this character?

This is a good question😭 I think of Eloise as separate from the girl I played in the game, AND separate from the MC in general bc I completely changed ancient magic & the whole storyline to something more interesting to me. As I was playing the game, though, I was SO INTENSELY CURIOUS about what their backstory could be - why were they starting 5th year? Were they a squib? What about their family?

I honestly LOVE that the game is so open-ended about this, because it allowed me to find a way to place Eloise in with canon lore (her mom is actually mentioned by Sirius in the books🤭) AND (this hasn’t been revealed yet) give a conceivable reason as to why the Babbits are not in the Sacred 28 when the list is created.

I’m also FASCINATED by thinking of pureblood society & the Black family in general (Sirius/Bellatrix are my favorite characters & BOTH heavily influence how I think of Eloise) & I have so much fun MAKING ALL OF THIS UP !!!!!!!!!! I LOVE thinking of different traditions/ways that old pagan traditions can be corrupted by the purebloods trying to hold onto their legacy…how the purebloods navigate society and the world in VERY subtle interactions etc etc ETC !!!!! I could literally make a whole post on all of these headcanons I’ve made up about the universe my fic takes place in😆😆😆

13) Do you have a voice claim for the character? What do you imagine the character sounds like?

Honestly NO😭 I think of her voice as very sweet but honestly it just kind of sounds like mine since I go into her mind so much as I write🤔 if anyone has any voice claims or ideas LMK !!!!

16) Is there any memes or running jokes associated with the character, both in- and out of universe?

ELOISE HATES WEARING PANTS AND SHE HATES QUIDDITCH😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤 she HATE WATCHES every single quidditch match just to make sure Sebastian doesn’t get hurt…BUT she drags Ominis with her and tells him to let her know if anything happens bc she can’t bear to watch🤔 Sebastian is always getting himself hurt on purpose in Crossed Wands & even quidditch in the hopes that Eloise will come over🤭 bc she always insists on the muggle way…(everyone thinks they’re weird)

Another thing that I think is HILARIOUS is that as a design choice I just gave her a braid bc a) I think it’s cute & b) it’s a way to tame her crazy crazy crazy hair & c) so I don’t have to draw her hair down. BUT every time we talk about mc interactions everyone wants Eloise to show them how to braid their hair…SHE has to demonstrate though bc there is no way anyone that isn’t her could tame her own hair😫

20) Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favorite scenes, anything you’ve been waiting for a chance to ramble about.

DAMN DANI YOU WANTED TO UNLEASH MY INNER YAPPER…🤭🤭🤭

I REALLY want to talk about everything I’m working towards in my fic but🤐 I can’t spoil things for my 2 readers…SO…

Here’s a wip of my 70s au…the strangest crossover ever bc Sebastian and Sirius are getting high AF🤭😶‍🌫️ I haven’t decided if eloise is going to hate Sebastian, or if they’re going to be making out within 30 min of meeting🤔😇 now you can all see my terrible sketches…that turn into messy art😆

Hi! What do you think of Java Dude from the old (and forgotten) Postal mobile game? If you are familiar with this

Also, I'm wondering how you see the P1/Redux Dude, as a religious person or more like a Satanist/anarchist? Do you have any headcanons about the Dude's past and his family?

These are really good questions I have a lot of thoughts on so buckle in!

I don't know much about the mobile game but I like how it's more true to Postal 1 style wise with the themes of Postal 2. I find it funny he's the only Dude portrayed without his glasses lol

I see P1 as religious due to the themes of Postal 1. However Redux Dude is different to me. While I view P1 as a paranoid schizophrenic with religious trauma, I view Redux as a genuine psychopath with no regard for human life. They're the same person but at different ends of the spectrum. If you played both games, you'd know that the journal entries before the levels are different. In the original Postal, the journal entries have an undertone of fear and survival while in Redux, they're much more sinister sounding. Do I believe in the demon theory? Not really. It's a fun AU thing but that's all it is to me.

While it is fun to say "Corkscrew is Dude's Russian cousin!", I think honestly he was an only child. I have a feeling he wouldn't remember much of his childhood either (either due to trauma, the drugs, or just time). He'd probably remember key moments but wouldn't remember everything. He very much lives in the moment and would probably view his past as an afterthought

Any theories as to why that hostel video has been deleted? Kinda sus how it was just randomly posted, gained lots of views then suddenly it's gone... Also I'm curious to know if LM legal team is aware of the video.

i feel like it's important to remember that the video was posted eight days before the public got its eyes on the video, eight days before yesterday was exactly a day before his SDNY pretrial hearing where he wore green and had hundreds of people supporting him at the courthouse

but unfortunately for whoever posted nobody was looking for or watching the video, this was clearly not the intended effect

so about a week after uploading the video, when it became clear it wasn't causing the waves it was supposed to, somebody on reddit was tipped off about the video (now i know somebody who watched the video could have tipped them off but like what are the chances of that happening with how we know how youtube functions???)

coincidentally this happened at the heels of TD submitting motions for suppression of evidence because he wasn't mirandaized before getting arrested/frisked/questioned

and people lost their shit upon watching the video, which imo is incredibly dumb because we already knew he was in altoona and we already knew he'd been trying to get a room at a local hotel/motel, like surely he didn't teleport out of nowhere when he was arrested at the mcdonald's right??? he had indeed been there and if we take the hashbrown letter to be real, he's not pretending to not be there because well, he actually was there

but the tone of the video implied whatever is the exact opposite of the presumption of innocence, it also said he was disguised when inquiring at the motel but like i dress exactly like that during winter???? hoodie (with beanie if it's too cold), mufflers, and i also wear masks whenever i'm out??? i never really stopped wearing masks??? and i also carry and use hand sanitizers almost every time i touch things like doors??? i would also behave like he was doing in that video because i'm just not very good at interacting with people i don't already know, it might imply nervousness to the layperson and it isn't at all, not everybody is getting grade A's at talking to shopkeepers/hotel owners like my mom

also he doesn't appear cagey at all???? and he's looking at his watch and looking outside and contemplating what to do, not because of any other reason except that it was too damn cold and it was raining and he was soaked and it was early in the morning and he just wanted food??? he just didn't want to get out in the rain and win the award for being the most famous sad wet cat in history at that moment. and honestly that's an extremely normal reaction to the situation

also the hotel clerk was telling him when rooms would be free to let and he was trying gauge how much time he'd need to kill to get back

people who're painting his behaviour as sketchy or going it's so over genuinely don't have a clue on how people around them act in similar situations (because clearly they don't behave like that or else they'd understand what's happening)

so what with people's reactions to the video and the media leaking things randomly out of nowhere (see supposed notebook being called manifesto) and the fact that it was posted before the hearing and became viral after the submission of the motion, it was clearly a smear campaign and i'm sad to say that it worked on a lot of people

a vast number of older people immediately started armchair diagnosing him and calling him whatever they wanted because it was somehow against their image of america's darlingest boy and i don't know why or how but the hashbrown joke also didn't go over well with them (i found it funny tho??? gen z regularly makes jokes like that and i do too???)

so yeah the video did whatever it was intended to do when it was supposedly leaked and i was wondering whether his legal team knows about it because public perception is very important for his case particularly, somebody commented and reminded me that even if they didn't know already before they surely do now because everybody is talking about it, i sure hope nothing major comes out of a video that really means nothing

[gay--dog]

i wish i could stop thinking as much

Who does each character in 'Saw' main in Mario Kart?

shitty image quality TW

first off the GOAT, John. John uses Wiggler. John knows that appearing helpless and silly is the key to winning. John regularly wins the Saw inc Mario Kart tournament due to memorizing every single shortcut beforehand.

Amanda. Amanda mains Pauline. She loves to see a girlboss winning. She used to play as Isabelle when AC New Horizons came out but denies this. Amanda is ok at Mario Kart. John makes sure everyone lets her win sometimes.

Hoffman mains Ludwig. Theres nothing deep to this, just look at the resemblance. Uncanny. He and Ludwig share a misguided thirst for power. Hoffman couldn't win a game of Mario Kart if his sister's life depended on it.
