jeg har fået brugernavnet på min ekskærestes tumblr og ved godt allerede det er dumt men :) one way to cope i suppose

[cussundria-nerd-kneal]

Thank! YOU! This decent into madness was a BLAST to read, haha!

When you actually break down and contextualize the Inquisitor and their actions during in-game... romanced or not, they're a NUT job! x,D

And I am going FERAL over "Inquisitor Lavellan is not the Dread Wolf's prey, she is his hunter." AAHHHHH, so good!

I'm always interested in analyses that portray a romanced Solas as a predatory hee hee trickster god manipulating a young and impressionable Lavellan into falling for him and if that's your world state go ahead and live your truth b/c it's frankly none of my business, but I sincerely think there are those who forget that for a lot of people, a romanced Lavellan is (with all due respect to my own Solasmancing Inquisitor Rielle Lavelllan) batshit crazy. Having her boyfriend turn out to be a wolf god is honestly the least of her problems but oh boy is she unafraid to become one to fix this mess.

This is a woman who woke up in a dungeon with a glowing hand, figured out she could fix the world, and thought "fuck it, it's not like I'll have anything else better to do if Corypheus sticks around. Also. Everyone here kind of looks like they want to kill me, so maybe I'll stick with the protective powers that be for a minute." And then all of five seconds later she gets her hand snatched by a sketchy elven apostate who knows exactly what to do with her shiny new powers and cannot stop himself from having a Mr. Darcy level hand-flex after he lets it go (in my heart and soul this happens just out of the camera's gaze) and goes "hmm maybe there's something to be said for this world saving thing."

This is a woman who brought an entire fucking avalanche down on herself and three of her closest friends (and I do mean closest as in physical proximity, she doesn't know these people who are looking at her like she's Thedas' Next Top Idol) because even if it killed her it was the proper middle finger to send to the wannabe god bringing his army tap-dancing down the mountain pass towards her on the one night she had scheduled off to celebrate finally taking a W.

This is a woman going Take 2 Electric Boogaloo on waking up with no idea where she is and learning she was successful in spite-dragging herself up a different fucking mountain in a blizzard. Except now everyone is fighting wait nope now they're Kumbaya-ing a song Andraste's Herald should really probably be familiar with whoops, oh thank God, time for a side convo with the same apostate who's been trying to turn her entire life into a history class only for her to dive in headfirst (much to his initial abject horror) and get that good good discourse she needs since she can't go around arguing with everyone else like she wants to. "The orb is ours." You know what? Of course it is. But if they need the world saved from an elven oopsie, who better to right things than an elf? Fuck it, we ball.

This is a woman who misses being close to nature and goes positively feral at Skyhold, yeeting herself over balconies and banisters and turning the ancient fortress into her personal parkour playground because she's got energy to work off and shit to do, and if the path of least resistance to hunt down everyone she needs to talk to is coincidentally the same path that will absolutely wreck her knees by the time she's sixty, that's just how it has to be.

This is a woman who finds herself back at Haven with a man she's found it possible to be unfetteringly unabashedly herself with and thinks, "hey, maybe there could be more than the flirations we've exchanged over heated discussions and philosophical deep-dives, maybe I can have just one smooch as a treat." And when she feels her slowly unfurling passion reciprocated only to be shut down? She resolves herself to fight for this fledgling love and all the fade tongue that comes with it. This is a woman who gets the tiniest glimpse of what a retirement plan might look like after this whole saving the mortal world thing and buys all the way in.

This is a woman who has Grey Wardens to save from themselves, an empire trying to self-cannibalize, and still finds the time to go rescue a spirit because she, as a fellow comrade caught up in this mess, knows damn well that no innocent deserves to suffer if she can help it while she's got this insane amount of power she never asked for. And if that happens to lead to the man she feels safe enough to nap on the library couches with confessing at last the feelings she knows he's been smothering beneath his all-too-collected surface? Yeah, she'll take that W.

This is a woman who gets absolutely blasted head-over-ass into the fade and goes "honestly things were going a little TOO well." This is a woman who sneaks a peak at the closest fears of the companions she's come to know and love and goes "not on my fucking watch." This is a woman who sees that the man she forces herself to learn the old language for, her vhenan, fears being alone more than anything in the entire knowing world and resolves herself to ensuring it never comes to pass.

This is a woman who gets the opportunity to shape the government of a straight up country and runs around collecting wooden fucking halla in a palace full of elven servants with no time to dwell on that particularly cruel irony because out here it's scheme or be schemed. This a woman who collapses against a balcony railing after putting out some of the sickest literal and metaphorical dance moves The Game has ever seen, resigned to bear her ever-increasing burdens alone, only to find her heart and his horrible horrible hat extending a hand, promising her that if he is not alone, then neither is she.

Like, do you feel me here?

And then he dares to think something as sudden and damning as the truth is enough to keep her away? The queen of tough conversations and tougher choices? No, no, dear readers who have made it this far into my descent into madness.

Inquisitor Lavellan is a master-class in encouraging the odds against her to fuck around and find out. She is a rift-mending false-god-bashing politcally savvy terror upon all of Thedas. Solas (and all of the living breathing world) is lucky she took time out of her busy schedule to notice the way his smile softens when talking about spirits or appreciate the fluidity of his form when they're obliterating venatori out in the field. This man cradled her cheeks in his shaking hands, looked into weary and wide eyes and called her beautiful, and had the audacity to steal her heart before trying to peace out and take it with him.

If she's got to track down a real god this time and frog march him into the fade to reclaim both her heart and the future she fought for because all he wants to do is launch himself like a meteor towards achieving his greatest fear, if she has to spend hours lecturing him on the sheer audacity of his ass while spirits float by and realize they're grateful they never had the chance to take on a body and subject themselves to a verbal lashing this brutal, if she has to do cartwheels around him while dropping all sorts of sweet nothings in the language she is now quite proficient in until he gets it through his luminous gleaming skull that when she said "var lath vir suledin" my girl meant it? Then that's what she's going to do.

"I wish it could, vhenan."

Oh it's going to, buddy. Buckle up to get wrecked, to get absolutely loved and cherished you fool, because Inquisitor Lavellan is not the Dread Wolf's prey, she's his hunter.

The Bad Batch Workout Split

I'm a bit of an intense gym-goer. Anime, live-action characters, and other animations have really inspired me to go above and beyond what I thought I could do. Clone Force 99 inspires me so much! They're all so fit, have different advantages, skills, and physical strengths. For fun, I created a workout split based on each of the modified clones. I hope you enjoy it! There’s a bit of a fanfic element to it as each Bad Batcher describes their favorite workout routine:)

(Part 2)The Bad Batch Workout - The Frat Boy Days Edition

Wrecker - Legs

Wrecker never skips leg day. Whether he's on a mission or with Gonky in the back of the ship, he's always training! Wrecker encourages you to train safely! He says to feel free to train until failure on machines, but to pick a weight you'll be safe with on the free weight work.

Hamstring Curl - 2 sets of 15

Deadlifts - 3 sets of 6-8

Crosshair - Push & Shoulders

Crosshair is built to carry his gear and Firepuncher 773 up mountains, towers, and more. His shoulders are strong to sustain his sniper work and throw enemies in close hand-to-hand combat. He suggests getting someone like Echo to spot you so you can work harder, but if you're going it alone, be smart and hang out with the Smith machine.

Incline Press - 3 sets of 10-12

Bench Press - 3 sets of 10-12

Shoulder Press - 3 sets of 10-12

Delt Raises - 3 sets of 10-12

Tech suggests performing heavy compound movements to work multiple muscle groups at once and mastering your own body weight. At the end, listen to a podcast, music, or show; or if you can maintain focus and a higher heart rate, read a book.

Assisted Chin Ups - 3 sets of 10-12

Kids are the most observant

That's it, after years of getting to know the league, they are finally revealing themselves (some of them at least), their true identity. they are all very mature and happy to know the faces and names of their friends. but them, there is Batman.

Many heroes are waiting with a sparkle in their eyes. It turns out that when they found out they were going to do this, some heroes decided it would be fun to make some bets on guesses about what they would be like. flash, green arrow, the lanters, captain marvel, aquaman, hawkgirl, cyborg, you know.

Diana didn't play, as she already knows most of their names and it wouldn't be fair, the same goes for J'onn, Superman, Batman etc

Batman takes a deep breath (not that anyone notices) and takes off his cowl.

they. went. deadly. silent.

he expected gaps, perhaps screams. "YOU'RE THAT BILLIONAIRE" type of thing. but no. he watches their faces turn to horror, minus Captain Marvel, who sports a shit-eating grin so big and bright it could compete with the sun.

Cap giggles, like a little devil. slowly, he looks that the companion is at his side. flash, or barry, is pale. Green Arrow's, aka oliver queen, jaw is on the floor. Aquaman also known as Arthur is looking like a dead fish, as if he had been out of the water for too long. and like that it goes.

Diana and Superman are suppressing their smiles. Maybe they know what it's about? I mean, Bruce knows it's about the stakes. but he didn't know all the details because he didn't want to get involved.

flash is the first to speak

Flash: i cant... oh my god. im broke.

he was so deadly serious it made bruce frown. just a little bit.

The captain's smile gets bigger and bigger and, like a good teammate, he explains:

Marvel: Everyone was betting that you were some kind of ex-war criminal, a super broke guy, a homeless guy who, when he's not beating up criminals, is sleeping in a trash can. you know the vibe. but not me, I knew you were a rich guy, with a lot of trauma.

Batman frowns even more.

Bruce: how?

Marvel: Remember when, 1 and a half years ago, we were hit by that villain that makes people laugh? Yes, I knew there. you have a rich guy laugh. there was no way anyone could manipulate it. I could hear the money in your tears... and the trauma...

Bruce: you knew I was rich and… traumatized… because of the way I laughed…? hmn. Very good, Marvel. I didn't expect such a deduction from you.

Marvel: nah, its not even such a big thing. what is big is my price! I don't even know how to pronounce how many I just won. When I said you were a playboy, they raised the stakes so much that I'll probably have to deny some things…

Flash: oh my god... the deed from where I live…

Aquaman: the deed from where you LIVE? my dude, I just lost my kingdom!

Little Billy will take the money, maybe, because he's not stupid or anything. but he's not going to leave his colleagues in such a bad situation, he's going to let them visit his houses from time to time!

Grimes 68 by @tllgrrl aka nefertiri jones

Summary: After almost 8 years apart, Michonne finds Rick Grimes, the love of her life and father of their children, and he brings her into the Civic Republic Military. For the time being: 1) She has to pretend to be someone else to avoid being seen as a threat; 2) He has to figure out a plan for the two of them to get out; and 3) They have to try and act like they’re strangers to each other instead of reunited lovers.

(The key word is “try”.)

* * * * *

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

The steel kill sticks striking against the brick wall rang in the parking lot of what was left of a post office.

A former postal service semi that now had protective grills over the windows led the next herd of the dead, or what the CRM called “deltas”— “delts” for short—into the large space on the one side of the harvest wall.

The shuffling hoard was drawn by the noise and flashing lights mounted on the truck.

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

The consignees readied themselves on the other side, and as the delts shambled to open spaces in the wall, each one was met with a blow that drove a sharp, prong-ended spear (“kill stick”) into its skull, followed by a twist of the wrist that destroyed its brain, effectively and finally killing it.

It was a repetitive, bloody, mind-numbing grind, and some said that it was brutal for the workers because it wasn’t easy to completely forget that the delts were once living human beings too.

Grimes had done his time at The Wall. He’d even become a legend with the number of kills he could rack up in a shift.

It was painted in big letters on the side of a nearby building, for all to see:

GRIMES 68.

He was also well-known for the number of attempts he’d made to do something no one else in the City wanted to do: Escape. Wanting to leave the safety and security of the CR so badly that he actually cut off his own shackled hand at the wrist, only to fail again and be brought back to the Wall.

Time and time again an officer in the Civic Republic Military gave him a chance to join up, and he refused each offer, preferring to be at the culling facility, killing the dead and planning his next escape attempt.

Then one day, he accepted the offer. He traded his Consignee jacket for a CRM uniform. Instead of using a kill stick, he got a fancy, deadly prosthetic hand with a retractable blade. He got all kinds of specialized training, all the perks as he rose through the ranks, and he never had to cull delts again.

But now, after having been gone for years, there he was. Back at the Wall. Watching.

Watching her.

The new consignee.

The dark-skinned Black woman with her hair cut short on one side of her head, exposing a beautiful profile; and locs cascading down just past her shoulder in the back and on the other side of her face .

The woman who, after her on-boarding interview, was designated a Type “B”, seeking safety, willing to work, and keeping to herself, but had the carriage and demeanour of an “A” who was always observing, was more than capable of defending herself, and being a provider of safety. A leader.

Word soon got around among the Consignees that the ex-consignee/now military officer known as “the famous Rick Grimes” had not only survived a chopper crash, but he’d started showing up at the harvest wall. Coming back to a place he’d gotten away from years earlier, only to return when a mysterious new consignee was brought into the CRM.

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

“Hey. Look who just pulled up,” said a consignee who had her red hair tied back with, of all things, a bright pink ribbon that was tied in a bow.

“Holy shit! ‘zat Grimes?” another consignee added, tying a bandana on his head, cholo style, then slipping on his face shield. “He doesn’t have to be here any more. What’s up with that?”

“Bethune’s not-so-secret admirer,” snickered the worker to pink bow’s left, stabbing his kill stick into a delt that sagged and dropped. “She doesn’t see him yet. But she knows he’s there. Watch. In 3..2..1.”

Michonne—known to the other consignees as “Dana Bethune” —stationed at the far end of the wall, continued to methodically dispatch delts.

Then she stopped, looked over her shoulder, and found the tall CRM officer. Standing there, at ease, even with his helmet and face guard on, she knew he was watching her.

It seemed like they stood there, the only people at the wall. 5…10…15 minutes. Watching each other. Breathing the same air. At last…

3 seconds later, she turned her head back to the oncoming delts, and went back to work.

Behind her mask, the other consignees couldn’t see the small smile that graced her lips, or hear her whisper “I found you.”

Behind his mask, no one could see the CRM officer smile as he whispered “You found me.”

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

“You see that?” drawled the consignee to pink bow’s right, continuing to spear oncoming delts. “Somethin’s up with those two.”

“I know, right? For the past two weeks, he’s here. Same time every day she’s on shift, just before third break. Look at him lookin’. Even wearin’ the consignee jacket, the mask, an’ her hair all tucked in, it only takes him a second to find her. And a second for her to know he’s here. Like they’re—”

“Might could be that ass is imprinted on his brain!” laughed a big man nearby with a bushy black beard.

“Maybe it’s because she saved his life out there.”

“Peterson said somethin’ about that. It’s true?”

“‘parently so. His chopper went down. Got blown right outta the sky and crashed.”

“You serious?!”

“Word is it was a scrub with some kinda RPG an’ shit,” a consignee added to the story while wiping a splatter of brains and blood off of his face guard.

“Stop lyin’! How’d they even get that? After the Fall, CRM took over most of the bases out there with a quickness.”

“There was military stuff out in the wild even before everything went to shit. All kinds o’ stuff is still out there,” bushy beard opined. “Shouldn’t be a surprise all these years later somebody has a bazooka or some ordinance hidden away. There’s jeeps, even tanks here and there. I lived in one for a couple o’ months before I got found and brought here. CRM scoops ‘em up quick as they can, but—”

“Yeah, yeah, whatever. So anyway, the scuttlebut’s that Sargent Major Loverboy there, an’ the other troopers jumped out of the wrecked chopper an’ the scrub starts firein’ on ‘em. The ones he could catch, he slit their throats…with a sword.”

“A what?” bandana scoffed, stabbing into what was left of the next delt’s face. “Get outta here with that BS, man!”

“I’m just tellin’ you what I heard! Grimes was about ta get got, when Bethune comes runnin’ outta the woods, grabs one of the dead trooper’s weapons and shoots the scrub!”

“Wow. Maybe that’s why he’s here all the time,” pink bow chuckled. “Hell, I’d be in love with her too.”

“Get in line,” beard snarked. “You really think those two know each other?”

“Know each other?” the woman laughed, stabbed a delt and shook its eyeball off of her kill stick. “I think they’re fuckin’.”

“No way!” bandana exclaimed. “She just got here!”

<<<Good work, Section 5 and 6 Consignees. Bethune and Clifton, please report to post-shift health check before boarding transport.>>>

“Think about it,” pink bow explained. “Grimes is an officer on the inside now and doesn’t need to be at the Harvest Wall any more. Who’d come back to this shit after their 6 years of consignment is up? Now, all of a sudden, he’s back. Out here almost every day. Why?”

She tipped her head toward the driveway and they watched Grimes remove his helmet and turn completely around to watch “why” aka “Dana Bethune” walk past, avoiding his eyes.

*CLANK…CLANK…CLANK…*

“Oh, yeah…” pink bow grinned. “They’re fuckin’.”

The thing I love about 911 is I feel that at its core,it is a soap opera. It’s different than other soaps obviously but it’s apart of this interesting genre of like “modern” soap opera. It’s not like a regular show it feels like? I mean we’re on season 8 and it could really see it going for at least a another 10, it’s formula always gives new plot points, it is a character driven show but also we have these emergencies delt with every episode and multi episode plots of major disasters. I just see no grand end in sight and I want it to keep going and expand in itself

i guess i just feel better around you. part 1

johanna mason x fem fic.

i know this isn't johannas games i just made one up

themes: fluff, grumpy x sunshine, enemies to lovers, lesbians

word count: 664

Johanna Mason knows fear; she’d been terrified every second she had spent in that arena. After 3 days of cowering inside the ‘village’ he’d found her. As she looked around the deserted cottages each with a new trap inside as she had discovered on the first day. The arena didn’t look like any landscape you would see in Panem. That had thrown a lot of the tributes off. The cornucopia had rested itself in a large field, a squared-out hedge securing the tributes in, like cattle. Then there was the second trick. There were no weapons in sight.

Johanna had avoided the barehanded bloodbath by scaling a shoulder high, loose metal gate to the left of her. That’s when she could see the houses, that’s where she found her axe. After unearthing the horrors and barely surviving the cottage she settled in the graveyard. As she suspected the other tributes avoided it – a bad omen. She was safe.

That was until the district 3 boy stood before her knife drawn ready to kill. Then something snapped. She needed to survive, she needed to live, this couldn’t be how she went out.

Back home Johanna Mason never stuck out, The quiet girl at the front of class with one friend, her best friend. Her best friend that was reaped at 12 years old. Then something snapped. Johanna lifted her axe and brought it down on the boy, she didn’t learn his name. a wave of guilt washed over her – she’d lost someone to the game before and now, now she had been the one to cause his family pain.

The games didn’t last much longer after that. Until two remained Johanna and the girl from district 2. Johanna was pinned against a gravestone feeling the rough stone digging into her spine as the girl in front of her grinned the most sadistic smile, twirling the knife around her fingers.

I am going to die.

Johanna pushed her back against the stone and kicked the girl in the gut, The cut she’d suffered after a fight with another tribute – maybe the boy from 11? On the top of her head bled a red streak into her hair the blood blurring her right-side vision. The she delt the final blow to the career on the floor, one, two swings of the axe. A cannon. She won.

As she leaned back on the grave, she took a closer look at the name engraved on the stone. Johanna Mason – District 7. Then she counted. A sick joke from the game makers. 24 graves. 24 tributes. Sick psychological torture. If only that was the end of it.

Johanna hadn’t really fit in back in 7. The districts don’t embrace people like her. The other victors didn’t seem to care about her. Then she met Finnick Odair, the flashy peacock from district 4 and his Bambi Annie that seemed attached to him.

“Your quiet.” Finnick had said abruptly.

“Mmh.” The grunt seemed to only provoke him more.

“Well, if you’re not going to talk to me let me introduce you to someone just as talkative as you.” He grinned and led the victor over to a buffet table. There wasn’t a word strong enough to describe her.

Surrounded by a large group of capital citizens stood the victor from the 69th hunger games. Johanna remembered her winning, District 8. She snuck a needle into the arena on her necklace and used her hair to sew up a huge gash on her leg. It was something Johanna could only describe as hot.

“Robin Bolin, let me introduce you to Johanna, this year’s victor.” The smug bastard nudged the newest victor forwards.

“…hi…”

“Oh my gosh you were so brave! I couldn’t have done what you did!”

Johanna scoffed, she had done what she did, Robin had won the games herself, without a whole lot of sponsors. So why act so exaggerated. If there was one thing Johana couldn’t stand it was bright happy people.

My very first Drabble!

Character(s): Pearl, Rusty

Relationship(s): Pearl/Rusty

Triggers: mentions of death/dying, chronic illness

Quick summary: pearl and rusty talk about the inevitable, aka Rusty’s rust is slowly killing him

Word count: 1104

Along the skewed stars, and crying constellations that littered the sky rested a rail road. Two extended tracks running parallel to each other. On the south side of the tracks was a gated yard with a tall fence with twisting metal links, some rusted, others bent and twisted under the weight of feet. A frigid shadow casting along neat rows of sheds all of them grey and still, not a single sound was cast from them. Beyond the yard a flower filled field, the dandelions bobbed from the winds. A young boy, dirt caked beneath his nails and painting his face, beside him a young girl framed in chrome and glass. They laid there.

“It’s so quiet in your yard” the woman spoke, her voice cutting through the skew songs of nightingales.

“Yeah,” the man responded. What more was there to say.

The man sat up to face the sky, the moon, and what little of the sun was starting to peek over the horizon to greet them. The earth coating his hand in dew, dripping from the tips of his finger back down to the ground.

“Morning dew? Already? That means the flowers might start to bloom” she laughed.

“Morning glories?, poppa used to keep some around the yard” he said, his gaze never leaving his hand.

“love, purity, and spiritual enlightenment, they represent all of that, is that why he kept them?”

He laughed “no, poppa wasnt one to focus too much on meaning”

“Then why? Flowers in a freight yard, doesn't seem like the best growing environment.”

“She liked them”

“Oh”

“The stars look beautiful tonight, i like stars” she said her hand pushing against the ground as she met his gaze

“I think they are mighty cool.” he spoke, his eyes turning up to a light grey scape of ever disappearing stars.

“Do you think there's anything out there?”

“Like aliens?”

“Yeah… like do you think maybe there's a planet just like ours?”

“Maybe… I hope the version of me on that planet is as lucky to know you as I am”

“Why would there be two of you? Would there be two of everyone?”

“...well. I. I was trying to be cute”

“Oh. I’m sorry” she said, turning to gaze on the soft features of his face highlighted by the forever glowing sun. “I hope, that version of me isn't quite as dense” her words hung heavy, eyes back at the pink skies above.

“I think you are perfect”

“I was made that way, every feature is designed that way, dull and white. I like your rust.. The gap between your teeth, the hiss off steam. Perfection is boring”

A stifled breeze passed between them lapping at them. Two of a feather, two eyes gleaming up at the sun.

“I can’t be bored of you…. You must not be perfect then.” His words were spoken through a smile.

“I'm sick of the same song and dance, i don't want to come out to the field every single time.”

“I know.. I know”

“I love you” she hissed

“I know that”

“I would follow you if you decided to go”

“You know I have to go, why not just stay.”

“After tonight? that not fair, rusty that's not fair. I want to be with you! I want to grab you and not have to worry about you falling apart”

“I don't want to fall apart. But hey I've been playing with my delt hand for years now. It's too much. I'm ready.”

“But why now. Why lay with me? Then leave? You've given me a taste of what the world could be”

“Pearl”

“No! Let me speak. Let me.. God” a shrill yell

“Take a deep breath, Pearl. Ain't no need to get all worked up like this."Stay here, be happy, live your life. Don't let me hold you back any more. Let me go, so you can keep bloom-in' in this here yard” his hand reached up to grab her face, his thumb gently across her cheek

Don't you dare say that! I won't let you give up, not now, not ever!" Pearl cried, gripping Rusty's shoulders tightly, her chrome fingers digging into his metal skin. "You think I can just go on living my perfect, boring life when I've felt what it's like to be loved by you? To feel alive with you?"

"I'm not letting you fall apart” She straddled his lap, pinning him down with her weight and desperation.

“Pearl”

"I know you're scared, and I know you think you're doing the right thing. But you're forgetting that you're not the only one who gets to make choices about our future” One of her hands slid up to cup his stubbly cheek, while the other pressed against his chest, right over his pounding boiler.

"And another thing - you're not going to die on me. I won't allow it. We'll find a way to fix you up, to keep you runnin' strong and whole, just like I know you want to be for me."

Rusty laid back, his chest heaving, he gazed up at the pinkening sky. He could feel Pearl's warmth, her hand still gripping his arm. morning dew, long since evaporated, leaving behind a gentle warmth that seeped into metal skin. He looked at her, taking in the delicate features of her face, the way her eyes glistened with unshed tears.

"Pearl, my sweet little wildflower... I know this ain't fair to you."

“So you're just going to let yourself die? Fight god damn it fight!”

"I... I ain't doing this to die, Pearl! Fuck, don't you think I'm scared shitless? Don't you think I'm terrified of what might happen out there?” He surged to his feet "But goddammit, I'm tired of being scared! Tired of waking up every goddamn day, hurting and aching and wondering when my body's gonna give out on me!"

“I don't want you to go”

“Pearl... don't make this harder than it already is.”

Along the colors, and mourning doves that littered the trees rested a rail road. Two extended tracks running parallel to each other. On the south side of the tracks was a gated yard with a tall fence with twisting metal links, most rusted, others bent and twisted under the weight of feet. neat rows of sheds all of them grey, the sounds of chimes and hushed whispers. Beyond the yard a flower filled field, the dandelions bobbed from the winds. A young boy, dirt caked beneath his nails and painting his face, beside him a young girl framed in chrome and glass. They laid there.

[bamboo-is-a-lie]

Inspired by the post you tagged me in, what’s critical role about? I’ve been seeing an increasing amount of posts on my dash and am curious

OK SO-

(the bit below me is talking about the beginnings of the show and some drama that happened wayyyyyy back so if you wanna skip it feel free just go until you see a large title. Be aware that this has some spoilers, but you won't know the context for them at all unless you read about what happens in the campaign so if you want one, please ask if you want a spoiler-free summary. I am using some of this to talk about the background and who the cast of the show are but skip down to "No Spoiler Campaign Vibes and personal feelings" if you don't want to read about that)

Critical role is a dnd group that's been around since the mid 2010s and has continued to this day. It's technically a company now since they have all this merch and promotional stuff to help fund their stuff and pay their employees BUT it did start out as a fun little game between a group of 9 Nerdy Voice Actors (many of whom where well known and exceptionally good at their jobs before joining critical role) with one being the Dungeon Master (of course) and the other 8 being the players (of course), though one did get kicked out because he was being a bit of and ass and stealing the thunder of other characters (the dm had to step in a few times to say no) and supposedly fudging his rolls and then allegations of him abusing his girlfriend was the final straw for them to kick him off the show about 20-30 episodes into the first campaign BUT there's a "long-term guest" on in the current campaign right now named Robbie Daymond (aka the most beautiful man in the world in me and the eyes of my friend's) and a LOT of people are hoping that he officially joins by the fourth(?) campaign (there's some rumors about the fourth camgain that I'll get to in a bit)

Sorry about the rant and talking about Orion but if you look up Critical Role he sometimes pops up and it's better to just say what happened with that situation. Also I love Robbie Daymond he's little so fucking funny I have to talk about him and to also clear the air about there being 8 then 7 then 8 players again.

NOW INTO THE MEAT

So basically, as I stated before, Critical Role started out as a dnd role playing group between 9 friends (though some of the people didn't meet and become friends until they met the show), these people are:

Mattew Mercer - Dungeon Master; married to Marisha Ray; constantly suffering at the hands of Sam Rigel and Laura Bailey; he's in fucking everything you just don't know it

Marisha Ray - Player; has played Keyleth (campaign 1, Beauregard/Beau Lionett (campaign 2), and Laudna (campaign 3); married to Matthew Mercer; Buff As Shit and super cool (I love her so much y'all); went from playing the sweetest person ever, to a asshole going through a redemption arc, to the manic-pixie dream girl from your nightmares who's serving the STRONGEST southern goth lesbian vibes (even though she's from essentially Victorian Britian); delt with a lot of shit in the first campaign from the fandom/chat (they were streaming on twitch at the time)

Sam Riegel - Player; has played Scanlan Shorthalt (campaign 1), Taryon Darrington (campaign 1), Nott the Brave (campaign 2), Fresh Cut Grass/ F.C.G (campaign 3), Braius Doomseed (campaign 3); has a very close friendship with Liam O'Brien; does funny ads at the beginning of every episode (I don't know when this started) and is constantly doing bits; him and Laura Bailey are constantly teaming up to cause chaos to everyone (they sit by each other in campagin 2 and they are menaces); WILL CAUSE EMOTIONAL DAMAGE DO NOT BELIEVE HE WON'T MAKE YOU CRY JUST BECASUE HE'S MR FUNNY MAN

Travis Willingham - Player; Grog Strongjaw (campaign 1), Fjord Stone (campaign 2), Bertrand Bell (campaign 3), Chetney Pock O'Pea (campaign 3); married to Laura Bailey; really good range of characters because he goes from playing the most stupid man alive (but endearing), to a somewhat smart and charismatic dude (with no self-esteem), to drunk old fuck 1, to grumpy old fuck 2

Liam O'Brien - Player; Vax'ildan (campaign 1), Caleb Widogast (campaign 2), Orym of the Air Ashari (campaign 3); very close friendship with Sam Riegel; bro has a happy and great life but cannot resist the draw of the Gay Emo Character and it's funny as hell; definition of "constantly scowling but having a great time"; super close and sibling-like friendship with Laura Bailey

Laura Bailey - Player; Vex'ahlia (campaign 1), Jester Lavorre (campaign 2), Imogen Temult (campaign 3); married to Travis Willingham; Loves and I mean LOVES sex jokes, specifically penis jokes; will take any moment to bully Matthew Mercer with sex jokes out of character and also bicker with Liam O'Brien (in a sibling way)

Talesin Jaffe - Player; Percival de Rolo (campaign 1), Mollymauk Tealeaf (campaign 2), Caduceus Clay (campaign 2), Ashton Greymoore (campaign 3); possibly a cryptid and a couple hundred years old who decided to make friends with a bunch of nerds. I personally do not believe he is of this world; has the most consistently best characters in my opinion; makes goth and punk little fucks for characters and fully commits to them even if they have shit personalities you don't agree which I heavily respect; super chill and quiet for the most part; "I Can'T BeWeVe diS I GoTTA be A STwaBeRRy" (watch this, trust me: https://youtube.com/shorts/I9_H2xmF9QE?si=spN3OagpCeQdA8Qg)

Ashley Johnson: Player; Pike Trickfoot (campaign 1), Yasha Nydoorin (campaign 2), Fearne Calloway (campaign 3); The queen, the best person ever, tbh she's my favorite cast member, she's also supper fun; she was on and off the show the first two campaigns due to filming stuff but she's in campaign 3 full-time (YIPPIEEEE) which is great because I think she comes up with some really cool and funny characters but they didn't get to shine that much in the first two campaigns due to her absence; can be forgetful/absentminded but it create some really funny moments plus she creates characters where it would make sense for them to maybe have delayed reactions (the cast are super patient with her and with each other in general which I'm rly glad about as someone who constantly tunes everything out and constantly needs someone to repeat stuff, it's one of the things that made it a comfort show for me :) )

No Spoiler Campaign Vibes and Personal feelings

Basically Critical Role is a dnd show surrounding a different adventuring party for every campaign. Each campaign is set (or at least starts) on a different continent in the homebrew world of Exandria with various time skips in between the campaigns (campaign 1 has a 30-year time skip to campaign 2 and campaign 2 has a 7-year time skip to campaign 3). These adventuring parties find reasons to get together and, ya'know, go out adventuring. They go on quests and solve and explore personal problems together before usually having a Big Bad Guy to fight at the end of the campaign. Right now I'd say that campaign 2 is the most popular one out of the three campaigns and you usually see the most art of it but there's plenty of stuff for campaign 1 and 3.

Each campaign has a different cast of characters and vibe to it so it's hard to explain adequately without telling you the entire story so I hope what's below helps a bit:

Campaign 1: This is the one I haven't watched yet sorry :(. I've seen bits and pieces and I will get to it but I will say that the stream started a little way into the campaign so they do some background info when you first start so just understand that. As far as I'm aware this was the cast's first official game with each other, so things are a bit clunky at times as they learn (some have already played dnd before but still). The campaign follows the typical dnd campaign of large adventures and destiny and is overall pretty fun. Has the most "friends playing together" feel to it I'd say

Personal thoughts: I mean give respect to what started it all ig??? I don't have many thoughts since I haven't watched it but it looks fun but I've gotten hooked on tma and am currently going through tmp and am looking at malevolent next (i need to see what the spooky gay ghost shit is about), so I probably won't get to it for a bit.

Campaign 2: I HAVE seen this one, it's where I got into CR. The show was already popular but, because of covid happening and the cozy more personal feel of this campaign, it really took off here. Less of the friends playing dnd at each other's houses vibe and more "this is now a show with marketing" but tbh I don't mind since it's still fun and if you can make money and support yourselves while improving the quality of your show using that money then that's good. Silly Goofy Happenings throughout The Aggressive Roman Dwendalian Empire. Lower stakes in general and not as much grand adventuring happens in this one (they do quests but they don't become household names like the characters in campaign 1). Very colorful group compared to campaign 1, I'm pretty sure that if there's a pride parade in a city they put these fuckers up front to be their pride flag. Deals heavily with being in on a continent where two large countries are constantly on the verge of war and where people often have to pick sides (proceeds to straddle the political line and refuse to pick a side to fully be on because fuck both governments they got some shit goin on).

Personal thoughts: I like it and it can be fun at times. It has stakes but they don't ramp up until near the end and everything up to that is a lot of character building and helping where they can in small ways. It's definitely interesting to see how the group as a whole REFUSES to pick a side (politically) and how they deal with not really belonging anywhere to anyone (for most of them anyway). A lot of the characters deal with being misfits with no one and its very sweet to see them grow to be a found family. I will say, as great as this campaign is, it can be a little slow at times and there'd be months where I didn't follow the show because everything that was happening was just so boring to me.

Campaign 3: I'm currently following this one as it isn't done yet (dw i'm caught up). Starts off like the other two campaigns where they have small arcs of quests they do but it quickly elevates into a larger, more narrative driven quest with small arcs for the players to follow (compared to the other campaigns where the smaller arcs help the players get items and development and there's more focus on the characters rather than the story). This crew is even MORE bright and colorful and I love that for them. So many people in this group have such a high deception/charisma stat it's honestly funny as hell with how well they can lie (compared to campaign 2 where they had a Single Guy who could persuade people while the rest of the group hid behind him lmao). It's really cool as someone who watched all of campaign 2 see how stuff hinted at in that campaign ties into the 3rd campaign and it's story.

Personal thoughts: It's definitely different from the first two campaigns in feel and style. The dungeon master definitely took the reins a bit more for this campaign. A little less downtime compared to the first two campaigns which can make it feel like the high-stakes last too long at times but no campaign is perfect, and I mainly feel like this is a problem for the middle of the campaign and by the time you get to around ep 98 that mostly goes away in my opinion. Because the dm takes the reign a bit more with how the story is going (the first two campaigns are mostly driven by the players with hints drop as to where they should go next in the story until it leads to a "final boss" where the players spend the last couple arcs dealing with) it feels more "staged" to some and like the characters don't get as much development and I can see why some would feel that way but it's all a matter of perspective and what you do and don't like ig.

Misc Thoughts (aka me rambling):

the thing you need to know about Critical Role is that it is the definition of "Let Them Cook". The first couple of arcs are fun and then the middle is basically just steady character development and build-up to the last 50-40 episodes. Those middle episodes aren't necessarily bad or boring, but they are a lot to slosh through since they're build-up to the REALLY good stuff. Basically, if it gets too much to go through then just look up highlight/summary videos (the wiki is also really really good to read alongside the summaries). It helps to go through a campaign that's finished because you can plow through the episodes without worry of catching up with what's happening in the story and any parts you miss by skimming you'll probably see art or discussions of.

The fandom is also a bit crazy to me. Like you have lots of chill and nice people in the fandom but because it's such a large one it has a lot of people online who criticize players and their choices and the campaigns even though they can, ya'know, just not watch it if they don't like it so much (that's not to say criticism is bad or that being critical of what's happening in the story is wrong, I'm talking more about people who literally will not stop talking about how much they hate certain characters or cast members and what they're doing for no reason). This is just to say that if you ever decide to get into CR to be careful and maybe expect to see some crazy shit

There is some speculation that CR will move away from DnD and into a TRPG system called Daggerheart due to some bad behavior from Wizards of the Coast (I remember learning about it a while ago but I cannot remember for the life of me what exactly happened other than it was some bullshit to make more money) who own DnD. I highly doubt this since CR built their image around DnD but with how conclusive and possibly open-ended the finale of campaign 3 may be it's easy to see why people would think that. Personally, I think if they are gonna change something I wouldn't be surprised if their one-shots run exclusively on the daggerheart system while keeping their main campaigns as DnD because I have no idea how they'll run a regular campaign on Daggerheart (their last two campagins ran for 140/141 episodes of various lengths and this one is already 117 episodes running on a more consistent 4 hour time for the episodes) for so long.

ONE LAST THING: I don't know how much you know about TRPGs or various dnd shows but please know that CR is INCREADIBLY WELL FUNDED and also full of a cast of professional actors and voice actors who have been doing their jobs for years so how they roleplay is at another level then a lot of other shows. I say this because while I love the show it's not fair to really compare it to a lot of other shows who maybe don't have the same budget or experienced actors/players (at this point they've been playing dnd for 10 years together). There are a lot of amazing dnd shows out there and CR is at the top of popularity and idk how to put it but they're "acting" more then "playing" if that makes sense. I don't mean to make it sound like I'm talking down about other games but it seems like some people get very high expectations and impose them on smaller and newer shows.

ANYWAY I'm sorry to ramble your ear off about this and give you a bunch of technically unnecessary information for your question but I hope this helps some and tells you more about the players (since they show up in gifs and fanart sometimes). Dm me or send me an ask if you want to know some more specifics (i don't know how much you want me to spoil about the plot).

hello im another fellow infiltrated but im going to call myself gossip girl because i like it more

there are 7 bt accounts that are more prominent: the one who lead the cult, the one who use the words nigga with everyone, the one who was a diehard buddie stan faking being ostark burner account on twt, the one who suggest eddie should’ve tried to kill himself to match ryan story, the one who told people to do not donate and then hoping for people being subjected to racism so ryan could be fired, the one who said that tommy should get main before ravi and karen because it makes more sense and the one who payed 200$ for the cameo in which lou talked about the evan headcanon and then convinced a journalist to write an article about this thing (later the article was delted)

basically they are buying likes and comments, they have multiple accounts and are divided in groups so from 8 to 10 am one of them spam the official account with pro bt shit and then after someone else is going to take their place so all the post are always spammed

also first they wanted lou to take the main role in swat (which now could be very possible since there are more open spots) but now they want him only in 911 because is character in swat isn’t gay so they would loose their mlm ship

Hi, this one was a ride from start to finish. Holy shit. They have a schedule? Guys, we're really slacking here aoksasoaksasoaksok this is nuts.

I mean, it does look possible for him to get a bigger spot inswat considering the circumstances their season ended, but damn.

[ailouridae]

Sorry for spamming but holy fuck you’re so hot

I was wondering what your workout routine is? I’m getting back in the gym after having to take a break and would loveee if a big strong guy could give me some pointers :3

- @prettyboypunkz

i love spam <3 and im def gonna ramble ab my routine

im running a really basic push/pull/legs split rn, i mostly do free weights, and at most 3 exercises per muscle group.

Push Days: Chest, Shoulders, Tris

Incline Bench Press 3×8, Dumbbell Bench Press 3×8, Chest Flys 2×8

Seated Shoulder Press 3×8(usually switch btwn dumbbells or barbell), Lateral Raises 2×8, Front Raises 2×8

Superset of Skull Crushers and Close Grip Bench Press 3×8

Pull Days: Back, Biceps, Forearms

Barbell Rows 3×8, Dumbbell Rows 3×8, T-Bar Rows 2×8

Dumbbell Preacher Curls 3×8, Barbell Curls 3×8

Rear Delt Flys 2×8, Barbell Wrist Curls 2×8, Barbell Shrugs 2×8

Weighted Calf Raises 3×8, Weighted Sit Ups 2×8, Leg Raises 2×8

for the barbell movements, i usually do 2 warmup sets, just the bar for 10 reps, then 135 for another 10

the only real pointers i have is train to failure, or at the very least verryy close to failure and pick workouts that keep you wanting to come back and be consistent

and eat enough protein. you dont have to track it, but at least make an effort to include high protein meals or even snacks

Subnautica AU part 10

Tails POV

Warning: explosion

I gasp for air as sonic pulls me onto the pod, and I quickly look around making sure everyone was here. Lulu was over by the control panel fidgeting and she tried work with the solar batteries her hair frizzed, and I can tell she has been panicking about the news we got from the PDA.

Amy was making sure everything was strapped down and leaving out a few rations for lunch knowing we still had about half an hour left until in happens.

Knuckles was pacing mumbling to himself about how the aroura will be unfixable and unflyable.

I almost laughed since when did this type of things become so normal? No one is going into a major panic. No one is crying and chanting were all going to die. We're not running around like a bunch of headless chickens. Heck sonic is Over there humming as he talks with Lulu like we aren't in the blast radius of a giant radioactive ship.

I sigh and thank Amy for the food and water as I eat it slowly. I start to plan. I need a device. A device that can scan the radiation waves and explosion for a visable diagram. I grab the PDA system and sip on my water, and I snap it open and look at the wires and chips inside of the futuristic device. I feel Amy come and sit by me and I lean into her naturally used to cuddle pills on movie nights as I work on a small project.

"How long do you think we are going to be here?" Her voice soft and quiet. Her jade eye basically looking into my soul.

I frown but didn't lie "With hoe things are going? at least a year" I heard her breathe hitch.

"Well, umm mm it's not like we haven't delt with things like this before." She smiles "Do you remeber when sonic went missing into the book? We carried it around for about half a year and a good bit of that we were finding from Eggman knew robot. what are is called again? it was something stupid I know that. "

I laugh "I think it was something like the spoiled egg bot 2.0. I about died at the name, but chaos did it have fire power."

"Sometimes I wonder if the cave we hid in is still standing. We should revisit it when we get back home."

I smile tiredly "We should"

I finish fixing the PDA system to a visual graph read and smile "Lulu?" I call looking towards the wolf. She seemed calmer now where hair still a mess, but I guess that will happen without a hairbrush. I just hope mold doesn't start growing in our fur or hair.

"One minute left tails." Her voice soft and low and I nod climbing up and onto the top. The gang coming and sitting with me. I sit in front the reader reached out towards the ship. Lulus tail around my waist as she cuddles into knuckles behind her. Knuckle hugging her as he circles his arm around Amy, His leg locked ready to brace us if we are too close to the explosion. Amy was sitting behind me and locked arms with sonic, so he does fall into the water.

"Emergency: A quantum detonation has occurred in the Aurora's drive core. The reactor will reach a super critical state in T- 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 [repeated], 3 [repeated], 2 [repeated to fade], 1 [not said]-" The PDA states and the sky lit up. Metal pieces flying everywhere. I Sonic covers my ears at the sound, and I see Lulu cover her ears and head. The pod shakes the wave hitting hard pushing us further away. I feel knuckles hold everyone and force us back into the pod Bringing the PDA system with us.

It felt like hours before the waves stopped. But only about half an hour of us huddled in a corner, Sonic and Knuckles acting like a shield for us. After everything calmed down sonic was panicking as he checked me over. I swallow and hug him tightly. I can see Lulu patting my back and Amy holding onto knuckles. Something tells me that explosion did more damage than I predicted.
