Does Ember actually love Astarion or is he just a best friend? I was just curious! Haha

Oh, the answer is a big both! They're best friends, partners, soul mates, each other's Person. If they were shelter cats they'd be pair bonded and have to be adopted together. Whether they are or aren't romantically involved doesn't matter, they're each other's ride or die regardless.

But to be more specific, Astarion is Ember's 'canon' relationship, with Rolan being something of an AU that I just happened to end up doing a comic about first.

I'm not someone who likes to make multiple OCs to pair up with different characters, cause not only do I get too attached to one, I just overall find it a lot more fun to take a single character like Ember and play around with what would happen if she were to end up with someone different. See what changes or stays the same depending on the partner she ends up with.

But no matter what, she and Astarion end up a duo to at least some degree, even if it's just as partners in crime.

#I will be doing some Ember/Astarion stuff eventually #Astarion plays a huge role in Ember's own character arc and I've yet to show anything of how she was before Act 3 #I just wanna get the big Rolan comic done so I don't get sidetracked #I have a shorter comic set in Act 1 planned for Astarion that I'll probably tackle first #and then a longer one about a certain end game moment #I will also likely do more Ember/Rolan stuff at some point so don't worry if you only care about them together #not sharky art #anon ask #sharky speaks

i keep thinking about the odyssey i am THINKING about wei wuxian as odysseus. you were dead. its been years since you’ve seen your family. the child you left behind is almost a man. you wear a face they don’t recognise, you sneak in through the back door. the dog gives your identity away. the world knows it’s you when you draw your weapon. the person you love recognises you by the original symbol of your love—a secret that no one else in the world knows about, still, because they kept it safe for all these years. you get the chance to go back and despite everything, you found home waiting for you; he kept your place and raised your son and he was still there waiting for you when you got back. tell me o muse, about a complicated man i am extremely not okay

#cql #mdzs #wangxian #wwx #lwj #meta stuff #greek mythology #i am not fine i am not sane in the slightest #no idea if i’ve posted something similar to this before #i definitely started my odyssey journey thinking about them but then i got sidetracked with. the actual odyssey #i have been on an absolute greek tragedy bender though so there’s. plenty more to come. but also. HHHHH #the dog thing is so silly but i couldn’t help keeping it in because that is SO funny #this is soooo self indulgent i am sorry for subjecting u all to this #thank u to helendamnation my beloved for listening to all my rambling this weekend about this #jesus. home waited. the odyssey is about many things but it is about a man coming home.#and despite everything. he gets to come home. and he gets it because his home waited for him.#despite him being dead. despite the gods. despite the suitors and the pressure and the doubt.#in most stories home moves on without you but this time. this one time. home waited.#homeric hyperfixation haze

“I'm headin' in for repairs!”

“I'll shadow you back!”

One of my fav G1 moments, even if I read too much into it.

#just the idea that the lower-ranking seekers/decepticons #have a way greater sense of camaraderie than among the high command #and that how the elite trine treats one another is really not how a trine is supposed to operate #hence a big reason why we never really see anyone besides the coneheads around the elite trine again after the pilot #cuz it’s like they don’t want anything to do with them/to be around them but can you blame them???#it would also make you call just a little bit into question what hound claims in the next episode #like sure a lot of decepticons probably don’t care about each other in that way but maybe just maybe not all lol #*coughs* kiloton #i genuinely don't know how he did it but he did it and op and megs made peace (even if—wait i'm getting sidetracked oof)#also thinking about another idea of how the elite trine used to be closer before the war #but their relationship deteriorated esp due to megs' influence #it's just fraggin' tragic man poor thundercracker i hope the newest comic emphasizes this #maccadam #transformers #seekers #elite trine #tf g1 #transformers g1 #transformers generation one #maccadams #flash tw

My birthday is coming up, and every year for my birthday* I try to make a thing just because I want to but this year I am not sure what I want to make. Like, zero ideas. Well, I mean I always have ideas, but none that appeal more than others? I'm not sure if I should ask for suggestions or just make a series of polls leading up to my birthday to narrow it down, what do you think? *within a few weeks of my birthday, I am bad at time

#the person behind the yarn #got sidetracked and vented about stress in the tags feel free to skip none of it is relevant to this post #lotta stressors this time of year #and this year has more than usual with multiple significant anniversaries #plus work stress and getting an MRI this week #I'm hoping after the MRI is done my stress level goes down #but there's another hurricane forming and I am a bit concerned about that #it's not supposed to come north but neither was the other one #and even if it doesn't come north it's going to hit where my grandma lives #idk. my older brother has a birthday not too long after mine #and wants to do a joint birthday thing somewhere #but I have no idea what to do. it would have to be outside because he 'doesn't believe in covid' and while I could probably get him to mask #his kids wouldn't (they are too little) and I am stressed about that #I am honestly not a fan of my birthday. I got sick with the thing that disabled me right before I turned 18 #and my family always wants to get together for my birthday but historically are not good at respecting my boundaries #around my birthday and I have walked out of more than one of my own birthday parties #anyway! lotta stress!#going to keep making baby blankets and try not to think about it until at least after the MRI

Joe reaches above his head, pushing onto his toes, to put a clean frying pan on the top shelf, pulling his t-shirt up with the motion. There’s a flash of the dimples near Joe’s spine, at the small of his back—an unnecessarily sexy part of him, in Patrick’s opinion—holding Patrick’s attention. Patrick feels pulled to him from across the kitchen, unconsciously, fingers curling over hip bones, thumbs holding the hem of Joe’s shirt out of the way to get an eye full. He stares with wide, yearning eyes... Or: Patrick catches a glimpse of Joe’s back dimples, and he has to act up about it. Naturally.

top patrick/bottom joe nation i wrote a little bit of married/domestic flavoured smut inspired by joe's back dimples, hope u enjoy <3

#i keep getting nervous and deleting im sorry i have the fic promotion habits of a scared chihuahua.#joetrick #my fic #ive been cooking up this one for a couple months and it was almost ready before the download fest fic but then richie made me Think Thought #and i got Sidetracked.

being adhd is crazy ill spend all day worrying that i’ve forgotten something, triple checking my calendar and my messages to make sure i haven’t missed an appointment or left someone hanging, and it still happens anyway. incredible

#i also have a lot of OH SHIT moments where i remember what i’ve forgotten #and in my quest to write it down / do it i somehow get sidetracked before i know it and then boom. it’s gone again #it just causes so much stress man. especially in a college setting which i am currently living #like what do you mean i have 6 classes all with different requirements and deadlines and communication methods #and i’m just? supposed to get everything done by the due date and not forget shit?#god. i’m not even complaining about my teachers or whatever they’re nice. i’m just complaining about my brain #lays face first in the creek. i am. so tired #gear diary

a female character isn't allowed to be a character that is also female. she isn't allowed her own agency and complex motives nor any deeper emotions without it being centered around the male cast around her or a child. even if she's not a mother, she remains one because she could always potentially become a mother or she is the ‘mom character’ to the men/children around her and her actions MUST reflect that. if they don't, she's labeled a selfish bitch. if she is an (actual) mother than that's all she is—she isnt allowed deeper characterization or discussion because thats all she'll ever be, that's all she was made to be. male characters are allowed to be fathers (lireral or in the sense of providing for the people around them) with deeper feelings but a mother? never a mother.

#← this is found in both fandom treatment and (oftenly) the writing of the source material too #anyways this related to last post and the one before that where i said i wrote tags that are just too sidetracked to the post lol #ransom note #cant wait for people to ummm actually me about good female characters while fully ignoring the point of this #like no shit its a broad statement dipshit its used to open discussion about female characters often being reduced down #to only having purpose in their ability to be a caretaker to the surrounding cast around them.#like the problem isnt that theres mom characters. it isnt women taking care of people or being healers #its that theyre not allowed the same emotional depth compared to many male characters #something i liked in atla if i recall correctly is that katara wasnt a passive character. she cared and cared deeply and messily #she chose forgiveness to her mother's killer for HER story and growth. not because she had to for his #she stole shit and got jealous and was angry but she was still caring and healed. she still looked after people.#instead of just. oh shes there to be a 24/7 doormat to the male cast around her and their goals instead #and the FANDOM is the one that reduces her down to a bitch or just immature or an emotional support lamp #or whatever they do to reduce her down usually so they can prop up the male characters they like more.#like do you see where im going with this. do you get the point of the post...

(mgv) frankly a house md omegaverse would require an entire rewrite rather than just "the episode but with mgv elements" bc i have house and wilson helping each other with their cycles (meaning they're fucking) so their dynamic could go even crazier. they bang, unbonded, as friends, which isn't super crazy uncommon but they also regularly display courtship behaviors that they apparently either ignore or write off as pranks or basic decency -- wilson letting house eat off his plate is a huge one for example

#mgv #house md #house mgv #hilson #their will they wont they (that doesn't exist but it Does. to Me) is even worse basically #like they're so close to a breakthrough and yet. they are Stupid #“house would do wilson before cameron does chase” enter house casually dropping that #it is in fact wilson who does him every so often #and only when wilson is not married bc for all his whorishness wilson does try at first #and aside from house's relationship issues keeping him from forming connections #he's also lowkey trying to stay available in case wilson finally decides to get real with him (he's down so bad)#sidebar i feel like i get so sidetracked typing these posts and tags out with The Right Words #that i end up going on entirely separate tangents and completely lose the initial idea i came in with #my brain is a run on sentence generator almost 30 years strong

Gonna be honest, I need more (than zero) fics of Zhongli shapeshifting to look like random people to mess with his friends and people around Teyvat/Liyue

#just imagine Childe doing some investigative shit (before traveler comes) only to be sidetracked and taken on the worlds most obscene—#and random world quest by a random old lady #the man could start the day off at some random ruins in Liyue and end up in the desert of Sumeru bc of said random old lady #who then literally disappears into the wind as a cloud of dirt leaving him stranded in the middle of the Sumeru desert #or Zhongli turning into a random child and (harmlessly) terrorizing Liyue harbor and getting half the millelith sent after him #just. the possibilities people #genshin impact #zhongli #morax #rex lapis #zhongli genshin impact #genshin impact fanfics #fanfic ideas #Childe #he’s here in the tags #getting tormented by random world quests #bc someone had to go on them before traveler showed up #liyue harbor

a little more disorganised exploring

#disorganised only bc some are from my older NG+ save file where I managed to NOT override gravity and died missing a zip line jump #and then ended up being told by Aloy that I need to finally do Erend's quest so Avad will talk to me #even tho I literally just saved Itamen and his mom so what the heck. he knows who we are gdi #anyway. the other ones are from my embrace-escape run where I'm outside early just collecting stuff #and doing as many quests as the game allows pre playing through the Proving #world's a little weird. campfires don't save your progression properly. but vantage points do #and you can fast travel to settlements. just.. no override and only one bandit camp as far as I've been able to tell #so it's my favourite game - hiking simulator 3040 my beloved. love this game. the vibes are stellar and the visuals are gorgeous #The Cut is lovely too but I got sidetracked going for all the metal flowers and vessels and vantage points instead #plus.. no tallnecks so far and even if they showed up I couldn't override them anyway #so cauldrons are prob out of the question too. not sure if I tried before tho #saddest thing so far: no Proving means no Yan means no Solai means no Nakoa quest and therefore no Nakoa :'(#but Daytower is locked until later anyway.. tho maybe I could get there from the other side? the other gate further north is open luckily #which means I've met Petra again and done her first quest. which does make me happy. I've missed her and her flirting :)#(grandma Teersa is so well done btw. LOOK AT HER)#anyway. off to bed now #lou plays #Horizon Zero Dawn #hzd remaster
