Since we have yet another Orym discourse going on, here’s your reminder to be mindful of how you word your opinions. You can criticise and/or dislike a character without being rude to the player!

Doing Bloodweave playthroughs from both sides of the ship and seeing takes that some actions required are a bit OOC I want to point something out:

Origin!Gale as the leader by circumstance must wake up every day and work hard to keep the group stable. Establishing a routine and going through tasks you can't brush aside is actually very helpful to keep your depression in check. Tara is also here with him, which is a source of comfort for someone who desperately misses their home. He’s also in full control of the party’s stash of artifacts which helps, putting his mind at ease more or less. And be a bit hornier than he is as a dependent companion.

Origin!Astarion as the leader by circumstance might find himself in a situation where: 1) he doesn't need someone to keep him safe because he has a small private army that mostly heeds to his word; 2) it's contra-productive to lay with all of them. And being too close to home in a nasty way. And the potential drama. Pretending to listen and actually listen and adapt? Probably a better option. Not to mention that at some point the Artifact might end up in his pocket. And without it his companions are doomed.

Alright. I think I’m just gonna bite the bullet for that one because I’ve been thinking about it so much and I really hate seeing it when I do.

So basically, I am very disturbed at how normalized ships like PavLevi, Pavrina, DaanLevi, etc…are in the Fear and Hunger fandom.

The excuse I see all the time is that Levi and Marina are 18 and therefore legal but. Do you really think what you’re doing is moral ? What makes you think that a 18 years old being romantically and/or sexually involved with a character from 25 to 30-40 years old is okay ? Why are you appealed by this ?

I think it’s REALLY suspicious how some of y’all find appeal in a relationship with such a huge age gap with one of the two parties involved being TEENAGERS with people who are grown adults. Really, really weird, and I do not like how this is treated as normal. It revolts me.

Without mentioning that specifically for PavLevi and Pavrina, Pav sexually harasses Marina and calls both her and Levi «kid » in the same breath. How do you not find that repulsive ?

And please, for the love of God. Do not use the excuse of «It’s fictional » with me. It is fictional yes but you are still finding excuses to glorify these kinds of relationships and that alone makes me profoundly disgusted.

Oppenheimer. Folks, Oppenheimer. Wow. Just... wow. I saw the film last night, and I'm still reeling from the after-effects. It's going to be hard getting this out of my system, but I'm going to try.

1) The screen. I know the whole movie's shot in IMAX or whatever (I'm sorry I'm not good with the technical terms) and that the best cinematic experience would be in an IMAX theatre - but I know so many people who are waiting on IMAX 2D seats because of the exorbitant ticket prices. The price of an IMAX 2D ticket at cinema halls in my area are literally 3-4 times the price of an average ticket. It's kind of ridiculous. It's honestly okay to watch the film on any screen; in my opinion, in no way does it ruin the experience.

2) Cillian Murphy. I honestly don't know what to say. Just... him. His look and acting is absolutely phenomenal. He was perfect as the man. And not to mention,,, he's so hot. All the nude shots were a pleasure. <3

3) THE CINEMATOGRAPHY. Oppenheimer's most vulnerable shots, the most visceral imaginings of his mind, were shot in the most amazing ways possible. People blurring in Oppenheimer's gaze? The terrifying blank silences? Some shots of this kind gave a very very real impression of what anxiety feels like to me, and in this regard, the film made me feel very... seen. The screen trembling when he had to give uncomfortable answers? The rapid staccato beats when he got anxious? I'm not presuming what Oppenheimer's issues were, but for me, the projection of anxiety was very real, and made me almost tear up.

4) The writing, the "bigger picture" plotline, the dialogue and wordplay - it was all just pure, pure genius. It was a literal, breathtaking masterpiece.

5) I wish more people could understand the film. All of humankind deserves access to this kind of conversation, and it made me sad that so many people couldn't understand or relate to what was happening in the film, and retreated to their phones. It's such an important story to be told; it's a pity it isn't more approachable.

The way Taylor has been acting lately just makes me so sad. She used to be a funny woman and someone you could relate to in the middle of a pandemic and now, we have this new version of her that's based in dating republican men and being friends with rapist supporters.

"i'm not good at anything" – most of us don't take our own skills into account and instead choose to compare them to the ones other people show to the world, which seem to be better than ours but are often not the whole picture. people tend to only show the best of their works, and that's okay, but it's unfair for you to compare your usual work to their best; especially if they are more experienced and/or have a different skill than the one you're comparing.

i doubt you're being honest with yourself, and even if you are, your ability does not define your value. don't strive to be useful or skilled, strive to be a nice person with cool hobbies; regardless of what other people think of those same hobbies.

Dear Tumblr,

Our world is dying, the people around us are dying, the arts are dying. It doesn’t matter if you won’t be around to see it, because you are there. It doesn’t matter when the true death of any of this happens be cause you are here right now, and living.

And I swear people are trying, they’re chaining themselves to the wall and taking to the streets. People are dying, there is war. Heat is rising and NO ONE IS LISTENING.

I wish there was a way to express desperation, to show how deeply I am feeling. How so many people are feeling, this is more than fear and worries. This is happening and we are desperate. It doesn’t matter that there are other planets, because we aren’t there, we are here, on earth.

I don’t think humans are inherently good or evil, but I think that there is a level of power that elevates humans into self assigned gods, how else do you explain this?

I need to do something and I don’t know what. Every action feels to small and there isn’t enough people. I don’t know, oh my god I don’t know anymore. But it doesn’t matter.

But I’m sure there has to be something said about an existence that is eternally worth it. And there has to be something said about frogs in boiling water, turning up the heat itself.

Humans and humanity are not inherently good or evil, but we are aware. We know the consequences, we know what we are doing. Maybe not always but we do now and those in control, the government, the rich. We know, they all know.

If this is the future you want, a self destruction that follows suit of an atomic bomb, I don’t know what to say.

We are burning and salting the earth. Is this the future you want?

Sincerely,

Desperation.

this is perhaps lesbian of me but one thing i very much noticed in my travels trying to connect with both men and women that made me realize that women are who i preferred to sleep with was that… during sex men are ‘present’ or so focused but always on the wrong things meanwhile women seem to transcend reality and go somewhere else that is unbridled and absolutely fucking awesome and that’s just so much cooler to me personally

I've been on tiktok a lot lately and people seem to be very fond of the hc of Sirius randomly telling a responsible adult (mostly Mcgonagall) that his mom uses Crucio on him and other variations of abuse.

My lovelies. The one thing children with abusive parents don't do is overshare. In fact, they don't even bring the abuse up until they have a ridiculous level of trust on the person they're talking to, and even then they're careful.

Why, you ask?

Because if there's a slight chance that any of that information is going to get back to the parent in question, the abuse is going to get so much worse.

The House of Black are a massively respected and influential wizarding world family. If Sirius goes around telling adult figures about his mother's methods, the adults will surely try to step in, but the odds are they will most likely fail.

The Wizarding world does not have a fair system (and Sirius sure knows about that firsthand, in canon), and when Mcgonagall does her best, but without proof or the power to overthrow Walburga and Orion's influence, it is inevitable that he'll have to go home in the summer. Right to his mother's lap.

Chilling, right? That's why children under those circumstances don't talk, unless they are completely cornered or they fully trust that there's no way things will backfire on them. Keep that in mind when you're writing headcanons about him (or any other character under those circumstances, in any universe).

This doesn't mean you can't add details, but it does mean they should be subtle. Flinching. Nightmares. A regular activity/food/object that everyone else is unphased by but he can't stand. Get creative! But unless you're backing him into a corner and taking the choice of hiding from him, remember to be subtle.

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
