#by our throats

“Was that a pun?” Quinntav’s composure cracked. They fell forward, covering their face with their hands, that damned tail whipping behind them. They were giggling. “I’m so, so sorry!” The shirt had risen upward, giving the most wonderful view of their ass, but-. “Are you commending my holiness with word play?” They turned their head up enough he could spy their grin as they replied: “Is that not also a kink?” Astarion smothered his eyes with the meat of his palms, groaning in agony. “Why did I think seducing a clown would yield any other result?”

the absolute titanic balls (gn) of this show to look its queer, neurodivergent audience in the eye and say, “I know you think you’re unlovable. I know you think if you show your true self to someone, they’ll reject you. but it’s not true. none of it’s true. there is someone waiting for you, desperately, loving you more than you have ever believed, more than you could know.”

Uraraka: Someone who wanted to make others happy

And also,

Toga: Someone who wanted the world to be easier to live in

i can’t stand this fucking show

[prideprejudce]

it's interesting for me to see how almost the entire fandom collectively despised game of thrones season 8 and how d&d turned a nuanced series about scheming and political plays into a soulless michael bay action movie with almost 2% meaningful dialogue (yOU ArE mY QUEeN) and replaced with 98% explosions, war, and fighting in dark places to NOW having people in the hotd fandom not being able to comprehend that writing about a political civil war is not just going to be 24/7 fighty fighty action blast boom scenes and that we actually need some plot development behind it first

Early Wolfstar where Sirius is very natural at initiating intimacy or physical contact, so he often is the one to initiate things and he's very smooth about it.

And Remus doesn't really know how to smoothly transition into anything more intimate than like hand holding so he'll just kind of stand there like 🧍 and will randomly blurt out what he wants to do. It always catches Sirius off guard.

Like they'll be sitting together somewhere not really touching and Remus, after like 10 minutes of silence, will just ask very straight-faced: "Can we make out now?"

Ok I'm possibly boutta screw this one up, but, this is one for the writers and the visual artists. This one's gonna get up close and personal too.

Durge Asks - Creator Edition

What or who inspired your Durges design the most? A particular idea or vibe or perhaps another hottie or baddie?

How does their race play into the design? Was it a conscious choice because of the racial features or did you simply enjoy the playstyle or lore?

How do you prefer to portrait your Durge? Do you enjoy them in writing or their visuals more? If you're a writer or artist, would you/have you commissioned someone else before? Would you like to, in case you couldn't yet do it?

How did Durge come to be? Why them? Was it a vibe you tried to capture or a specific visual you wanted to represent? Did you borrow them from previous works or were they handcrafted for this story you have in mind?

Are they a plot device or the driving force? Do they exist to enhance Gortash or has Gortash developed to become the accessory wife? Do they compliment or foil each other?

Personality or looks, what came to you easier?

Is their personal story represented in their overall design? Do they carry any mental scars or physical alterations from the shit that happened to them?

Contradictory or easy to understand, which one applies more to your Durge? Is their design and personality a conundrum, or did you try to keep it as clear cut as possible?

How much did Bhaal influence their design or personality in the end? Did you research lore to purposefully get the resemblance or do you just go with the flow and what feels right for the story you want to tell?

How much of yourself can be found in your Durge? Do you share the same personality, taste, a specific feature? Are they who you want to be or who you used to be? Are they entirely removed from you as a person?

What's your go to medium for their portrayal? Google Docs, a niche notes app, perhaps one specific for writing, Procreate, Clip Studio, MediBang? Hit me with those recs. Do you sometimes mix em up?

OC Art/Stories or shipping content? What do you enjoy the most? What's ur little hidden passion?

Final and spiciest question. How down bad are you for your durge. Would you hit it even though you'd probably not make it out alive?

Ask prev when u reblog, be nice, this isn't strictly romantic, bla bla bla yk what I usually put here. Basically, have fun, go wild, save a fading fandom or smth (yes I copy pasted this, laziness is the great mother of all bad habits and good mothers should be honoured)

Also yes ik I said I'd get to answering asks and they are queued I just wanted to drop this one first so y'all have smth entertaining to do. Time to return to the shadows until I have ideas for these again, aka another temporary retirement lol.

Some soft, intense making out. Losing ourselves in the sweet kissing sounds our mouths make in rhythm as you're subtly pushing me back, your hands gliding over me until I'm just moaning into your mouth as you keep your magic going your tongue dancing down my throat. Until I'm so worked up that my minds gone completely fuzzy and not even noticed that you're now straddling me, pinning my hands to the headboard and holding them tightly. Maintaining your gorgeous eyes on mine, carefully undressing me. A smile appearing on your face as you watch my already delirious, bright red expression become enraptured as you start sliding me in gently, grinding yourself back and forth on it and once again.. putting your mouth to mine, my sweet sounds, and gasps lost in there, taking it all in.

Would fix me just saying.

A Bevvy of Feathursday Warblers

As I walk through Downer Woods on my way to work, I am always struck by the profusion of confusing warblers I meet along the way in fall. Hopefully, one day I will be able to tell one from the other. Until then, however, we present a few chromolithographic warblers from a painting by the noted German wildlife artist Gustav Mützel, from our 2-volume set of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty, by the late-19th-century director of the Milwaukee Public Museum Henry Nehrling, and published in Milwaukee by George Brumder from 1893-1896. They are from top to bottom:

Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica)

Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) 

Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea)

Prairie Warbler (Setophaga discolor) and Palm Warbler (Setophaga palmarum)

Wilson's Warbler (Cardellina pusilla)

Mourning Warbler (Geothlypis philadelphia)

Canada Warbler (Cardellina canadensis)
