"How to Leave Home...For My Daughter" This monologue from the Season: A Letter to the Future demo got me so emotional. If this is what a DEMO can do, I'm very excited for the full release on January 31st, 2023

Tag, you're it

During a session in the campaign I'm in, the party had to go back to the Shadowfell on behalf of the Raven Queen to fulfill a favor to fetch something for her. We had to fight some Drow in order to make it to the base where the item was held.

The surviving Drow, after seeing how powerful our party is, holed up into the bunker, where Sora breaks it open and Nash burns it down.

The Drow scatter like rats, but Nash grabs one with her Mage Hand, brings him in close, and whispers "Tag, you're it" in Deep Speech, and lit him on fire.

One of the MANY reasons that paramount/Star trek probably won’t give out another fully fledged 7 season Star Trek series with 25ish episodes per season is because of how much the CGI would cost. Back in ye olde times when they were making TNG and others, they would just paint the planets out and use that as a background. But shows don’t really do that anymore, and to have it to the standards of other shows today, they would have to do pretty much everything using at least some special effects.

But the thing is, I would be absolutely fine if they just started painting on planets again? I’d be absolutely fine if they just started slapping glue again to people’s faces for different species? (all this stuff is pretty much the essence of Star Trek)

Like, I would rather have a brilliant, new, well thought out Star Trek show with terrible to no effects than 10 episodes of just boring but amazing looking CGI. Let the people have glue on their faces!!! And I know in the end to compete with other shows to bring in new viewers they are going to keep on giving out 5 episode series and movies with brilliant effects, but in the end, it’ll just ruin the franchise entirely, and it’ll eventually be destroyed and discarded, or just forced to keep on pushing out movies and reboots that nobody asked for. :(

(Note: you could also apply this to pretty much any franchise right now. 🫠)

tolkien (a studied linguist) and me (has taken their fair share of linguistic classes) staring at each other after the narrator casually drops that the hobbits just 'forgot' their languages and simply adopted the common speech as if that is a normal thing that happens out of the blue and isn't connected to at best cultural assimilation and at worst colonialism, imperialism, and oppression

Scars

I like to think that uh. Shit Went Down when Gregory lured Mimic to trap him<3

Those scars are never going away, but at least they're gnarly as hell

El being *12 hours earlier* than the Cali timeline when she arrives at Nina. Will saying ‘it’s been 9 hrs’ in the scene following his monologue in the van.

We know that at some point their timelines merged when they arrived to save her…

But we don’t know when exactly those alignments took place when they were still apart… which just makes you wonder…

After a long trip through the Realms under Clockwork’s orders, Danny arrives home and is startled to discover that he doesn’t remember how to speak English. Or any human language, for that matter.

- And we pulled that stupid prank on you. - Wiener schnitzel and sauerkraut. - Yeah, we thought we were so clever. Eva von Braun, right? But you– you just set it aside, and you put your head down and got to work.

the barbie movie was obviously brilliant, but the moment that stood out to me the most was that raw pain and anger and grief in america’s voice as she gave her speech on how women are expected to be perfect. the dead silence in the background, the way the shot went from her to her wide-eyed daughter to the tired and increasingly horrified barbies. that moment sticks out to me the most because of how much i am sure america and those other women were not acting, dropping the façades of their roles and tapping into that exhaustion and pain that everyone, especially women, under the patriarchy has. it was raw and beautiful and so so so needed greta gerwig the woman you are

Just a thought, Jack Rackham would have loved to eat at Quark's. Even if his girlfriend was trying very hard not to murder the bartender.

(Meanwhile Garak and Silver would tell each other about their long lists of fake professions and neither believed the other.)

It feels extremely silly that only today did I realize that pantry and panadería are slightly similar-sounding for a reason >_>

(The English word pantry is one of the many, many common modern English words derived from Anglo-French: in this case, panetrie, from Old French paneterie, "bread room" ... Spanish panadería also has a complex etymology, but all are related to Latin panis, "bread.")

Huh, I didn't even realize it'd been a year since BG3 came out until I opened tumblr this morning. Kinda wild. I didn't think much of the game's release: I like Larian's games, and I like the BG series. I wasn't ever going to skip the game, but I didn't think I'd play it at launch because I was busy working on a novel in 2023 and not doing well financially.

Thankfully, circumstances left me with a little bit of extra money last year just before launch and it meant I could spend on a video game. I needed a pick-me-up after said 2023 novel failed to go anywhere, and BG3 was right there. Like most CRPGs, I played it in basically every moment of free time that I had and did as much as I possibly could in one playthrough.

It's so odd how these small happenstances can snowball into coming back to fandom, finding some friends I might've never met otherwise, and writing a lot of fanfiction along the way. I'll probably have something more interesting to say/share when it's the 14th, AKA when I sat down and wrote my first fic for this fandom.

Anyways, it's been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to more years to come 💜
