#dragon obsession?? Me??? Nooooo

[paintedkinzy-88]

Last little wip for now.

If you know me at all, you know this was inevitable. Join a new fandom = I'm making the characters dragons.

It's the law. My law. For myself.

Uhh rambling info below I guess, because I really wanna talk about them and their design choices. I honestly don't have much planned story-wise for this, I just really like the designs lmfao.

Starting with Mikey: he's the fastest, most nimble flyer of the crew. He can fold into a little ball or tuck in to be a speeding air-torpedo. His long ass tail is representative to his chains, and obviously he has to breath fire, it's a given. He's tiny, but he's not weak by any means! And damn can those wings give the best hugs.

Leon is mostly based on traditional serpents, with smooth scales and fins for quick movement underwater. His tail is thick and flat, so he's a quick swimmer, which kind of makes up for the fact he cannot fly. I gave him long horns like his bandana tails, and his snoot is based on a slider turtle.

Donnie's also serpent-like, but the inspiration was both the typical spiny softshell, and an eel. He also has smooth scales and a flat tail, but he has no fins along his back like Leon does. He's slightly bigger, and has a much stronger bite than his younger siblings. To pay homage to his softshell, Donnie's the only one without a plated underbelly.

He also builds a battleshell, but this time with wings. Man will not be limited to just land and sea.

Raph is the biggest and bulkiest. He's not the fastest flyer, and can't really go too high, but his speed is on par with Leo's swimming so he's not terribly slow. His scales are much more prominent, especially along his back and spine, and his strength is definitely unparalleled. Those jaws can break boulders, if he really wanted to... Still a gentle giant, though. Hard to see here, but his tail ends in a spiked ball :D

ANYWHO, what are they? Where's April and Splinter and the Caseys? How do they play into all of this?? What's a setting? What's plot?? Who needs lore??? All I see are pretty dragons to draw (and one, singular potential angst storyline but that's fineee).

I ship every canonical Tolkien couple - except Aerin & Brodda, Aredhel & Eöl, and Tar-Míriel & Ar-Pharazôn. Those poor ladies deserved so much better than those pathetic a-holes. And of course, no Turambar and Níniel, NOOOOO. (Honestly anyone who does somehow ship them needs some serious help.)

I also kinda think Melian could’ve done better than Thingol.

These are the “non-canonical” Tolkien pairings that I ship, since nobody asked.

Frodo x Sam (it’s literally canon, period, forget the “non-canonical” category, it’s right there, it’s real)

Frodo x Sam x Rosie (Sam being shared during that year in Bag End; also all but spelled out)

Bilbo x Thorin (obviously; even in the book, it’s subtextual, but it’s THERE)

Fingon x Maedhros (Beren/Lúthien + Frodo/Sam parallels are no joke; yes yes i know i know they’re first cousins and that should be a dealbreaker, and for a while it was for me, but technically they’re HALF-cousins, they only share one grandparent, and it’s not like they can procreate together, so it’s very different from what it would be if one of them was female)

Túrin x Beleg (also, obviously; just read their scenes and you can tell - ALSO the fact that Túrin never mentions Beleg again after Glaurung’s attack … do y’all realize that Glaurung is canonically a memory-eraser … that dragon wiped his memories of the love of his life and the reason he was triggered into romantic feelings for Níniel was because he saw a blond person lying on the ground under a flash of lightning which was also the way he saw Beleg for the last time and his heart remembered that even though his mind didn’t!!!!!!)

Mablung x Nienor (he just did so much for her and never gave up on searching for her until he then had to live with the knowledge that she was dead and he failed her … she lost all her memories of him and married her brother … the idea that they fell in love in Doriath before all this makes for a practically perfect tragic love story. Best part is he knew and loved her for her real self, whereas Turambar and Brandir both fell in love with an amnesiac shell of herself.)

Finrod x Bëor (yes, Finrod loved Amarië too …BUT look at how Bëor gave up everything to spend the rest of his life with Finrod, and how Finrod lost Bëor to mortality but then laid down his life for Bëor’s descendant; the angst is just too juicy to ignore)

Maglor x Daeron (two nasty but guilt-ridden minstrels who deserve each other, perfect)

I do not ship Merry and Pippin at all; not only are they full blooded first cousins, but since Merry is an only child and Pippin only has sisters, they very clearly fill that “brother” role in each other’s lives.

After a lot of thought, I’ve decided that queerplatonic Legolas & Gimli makes the most sense to me. They also fill the “brother” role in each other’s lives since they both have no blood siblings. I understand why many people do ship them romantically/sexually, but the thought of anything sexual between them just doesn’t feel right to me, personally. Even the thought of kisses just doesn’t seem to fit them, IMO; they’re about mutual respect and sharing quality time, rather than anything physical. To me they exemplify “heterosexual life partners” perfectly. It is important in this shipping-obsessed culture to never undermine platonic friendship.

Hi! I saw your review about Fourth Wing and hooo boyyyy, lemme tell you -

So, I used to read a lot when I was younger, stopped when I was a teenager, wanted to get back into it as an adult (a classic). This book was the most recommended read by my friends, one who in particular ADORES this book; she raves on about it and the sequels, is fully obssesed with, got HER friends to read it and sent me photos of them crying towards the end because ""the plot twist gets you and it's so sad!!"".

Okay, I thought, I'll give it a go! It's got dragons and it sounds like a fun adventure fantasy-type of book! Why not, after so many years!

...

I read the entire thing in the span of a day, because I knew if I put it down I would never pick it up again.

Everything you said in your review of this book is exactly why I was so frustrated by the end. The deaths were so predictable. The MC was so frustrating to read because the potential to make her an actual fleshed-out chracter was right there!!!! RIGHT THERE!!!! But nooooO, the men are sooooo hot, and I can't do ANYTHING without them, but I'm an independant woman who don't need a man but omg he walks into the room and I'm so hoRNy I'm incapable of doing anything!!!!!! *immediate gushing sounds*

And the whole thing about no longer trusting her best friend because there was no spark when they kissed??? What?????

I will admit, the smut made me laugh out loud, because the transition between sexy fun times to We're In It Now, Boys was hilarious to me. I also loved the dragons bc dragons, and if this entire thing was re-written to focus more on the dragons I might've been more inclined to like it.

Anyway, I strongly disliked this book because it gave me ✨️💅🏽nothing💅🏽✨️, and I'm perplexed why it's so highly rated and recommended, but I don't have the heart to tell my friend because she's obsessed with it.

I also can't tell anyone else I know, because my friends are looking forward to reading it/really enjoyed it, and I don't want to break it to them that I think it sucked.

YEAAAAH SO RIGHT TO ALL OF THIS!!!! LET IT ALL OUT!!!! It all happened bc the publisher pushed the shit out of it and put in a ton of money into promoting it, and then the ball kept rolling bc that's how trends work regardless of whether the piece of media is good or not.

Holy crap the dragon prince obsession is trying to drag me back oh no.. oh no whatever shall I do.. nooooo I can’t let this happennn… oh nooo

[shes-a-badkid]

Thoughts while reading The Trials of Apollo - “The Dark Prophecy” with my nephew-

1. I still cannot get over the name Lester for Apollo

2. Even after being humbled a bit, he is still the cockiest bastardized out there

3. I love the idea of Leo just having a good time with his girlfriend and his dragon and helping a God out and then there is Calypso and Apollo just snarking at each other the whole time

4. I love Calypso so much- just straight punches someone, breaks her hand, and almost immediately says fuck it and kicks someone and breaks her foot. I just really identify with this

5. Poor Leo- had to leave Festus again. WHEN WILL MY SON GET A BREAK, RICK?!

6. Oh poor Emmie and Josephine! If this book doesn’t end with them getting their daughter back I will be seeking financial compensation

7. I’m obsessed with Emmie and Josephine, every new thing I learn about them just adds to my love

8. Apollo and Calypso on a quest with no Leo to buffer… I’m so here for this- the sass with be *chefs kiss* impeccable

9. I really like that Apollo’s memory is iffy right now because I truly don’t know who most of these people are and him remembering doesn’t feel like a generic info dump

10. Hell yeah, Meg!!! Run away from those assholes! (But please don’t make me sad again)

11. Apollo- how are you so thirsty? Like we haven’t focused on the gods in as much detail as you, but you seem like a thirty bitch. Now I know you can’t possibly be as thirsty as Zeus, but you might come close

12. So far on this quest we have Calypso doing like 85% of the work- picking locks, grifting the two searching for them into believing she was cursing them- what a queen. And you know, Apollo is also there, like good job with that train buddy, you helped!

13. Hell yeah, Meg! Take his ass out! (I think ‘hell yeah, Meg’ might become my catchphrase thought this series)

14. Okay Apollo- nice work letting all the animals loose, that was clutch

15. Sure, Apollo, you totally didn’t cry when Meg hugged you. We all totally believe you 😑

16. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a million more time- I am obsessed with Josephine

17. “I was, after all, selfless, caring, and all around nice guy.” And just when I was feeling a bad for you my dude

18. Oh poor, Georgina, your mind is just mashed bananas right now

19. Look at you Apollo being all smart and melting that door- I would say I’m proud but the ego doesn’t need the compliment

20. PEACHES!!! NOOOOO! My sweet, little maniac

21. Festus! My favorite boy 🐉

22. Thalia about to kick some ass like the boss bitch she is

23. I love that Lityerses immediately went from down to kill for Commodus to I’m gonna kill Commodus for thinking of killing me and joining the side of good

24. Apollo may have fully won me over for staying back just to save Livia the elephant- also what a sight to see Thalia being a badass while escaping on a elephant

25. Leo and Calypso staying at the waystation makes so much sense and I’ll miss them so much, but also I would totally ready a book about Leo and Calypso at the waystation with Josephine and Emmie

26. Apollo hating his arrow is the best. I love a god having beef with an inanimate object

27. Oh Meg, my dear, I just want to hug you!

28. Apollo may be a self centered douche like 90% of the time but my man has a lot of feelings. Like- he cares for Meg so much, he just wanted to save Livia the elephant, he is passionate in his hatred of slavery, and he is so worried for his friends at the waystation

29. What is this red lightning, Jamie?!? I am intrigued

30. Sssssarah is delightful and I would love for her to just randomly pop up

31. Can we leave Festus alone, please

32. RICK! WHAT THE FUCK! YOU ARE GONNA KILL OFF A LOVELY GRIFFIN WHO JUST GAVE BIRTH (laid an egg… whatever) AND EXPECT ME TO BE OKAY?!? RIP Heloise

33. The delight I feel at just the mention of Coach Hedge is entirely normal! Stop judging me!

34. GROVER! MY SWEET SATYR!

#DUDE I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO MAKE A POST SAYING BASICALLY THE SAME THING#like when jaxom sees the green fly and ruth has no interest he is upset and all & wants to have ruth fly & goes to corana & all#later when mirrim says ruth will never mate w/out knowing jaxom was right there & n'ton is all worried like jaxom is not nearly as worried#& jaxom admits to himself that he never truly wanted to participate in a green's mating fly but that he had convinced himself he wanted to#bc the societal expectation is that dragons mate. & ruth is fine & jaxom is fine#& i love ruth's line: I love with you and I love you.#ruth is still connected to jaxom & he is involved when jaxom is with sharra but in different way#& as an ace i'm a fan! (via @lokigodofaces)

You get it. There's SO MUCH about the whole "oH nOOooo yOUr DrAgoN dOeSN't wAnT tO fUcK" from everyone else and Jaxom's internal struggle with "oh no, my dragon doesn't want to fuck and it must be bad because everyone else says so and also I think it's intrinsically linked to his ability to be a Real Dragon (and therefore a commentary on his/my masculinity if I don't want it for him and he doesn't want it for himself)" that really HITS

and Ruth, full enlightened sweetie that he is, is just over here like... "Why is everyone so obsessed with this? I'm actually fine with not fucking? I can breathe fire? I can fight thread? I'm obviously a Real Dragon?"

And it just felt so... idk, validating? that Jaxom eventually comes around to "If Ruth is fine and I'm fine and Ruth is fine with me wanting to have sex and I'm fine with him not wanting to have sex and we're BOTH fine with his degree of participation when I DO have sex... everything is actually fine. It's good actually."

Idk man, I don't know what McCaffrey was intending when she made this such an important part of Jaxom's character development in the story, but for one of my favorite childhood dragon-books to end up being so ace-positive just feels really good.

[allhailbrokeloose]

so uh.. ive watched a couple of series recently (actually not that recently but whatevs) which im most likely not gonna be obsessed with, but still i feel the urge to post my very important opinion somewhere. ⚠️its mostly not complimentary, so if you are a fan, dont read⚠️ ⚠️barely readable bc typing is fun, but editing is an actual job⚠️ ⚠️i violate italics⚠️ ⚠️not spoiler free ofc bc what do you think this is⚠️ ⚠️i bring up kp for no reason an unhealthy amount⚠️ and even skam one time. yeah i kno, im surprised too

the shows are big dragon, wednesday, and lita

there are three good things abt big dragon: 1) ost (heeey jeeeffff) 2) that one boob grab (you know the one) 3) isbanky (very cute and sings well). the rest imo is not good at all, but ig its ok for a bl (bc i have to say ive seen worse). ig im gonna need to read some fics bc i need 1) it to actually be hot and kinky 2) someone to explain me why would yai ever choose mangkorn aside from yin yang, red strings of fate, turtles and all the other animals. it also seems to me that lead actors have more chemistry outside of the series than in it, at least from what ive seen of them in the wild. afair there was sorta cliffhanger promising s02.. am i gonna watch it? you'll be surprised, but yes, isbanky is very much up my alley, im willing to suffer a little bit for a cute boy lol. but they seriously need to cut on the time freezing thing 🙄

wednesday.. oh where do i start.. my most prevailing thought was but.. but thats not.. thats not what being an outcast feels like.. i mean come on they gave her an unconditional punchbag of a best friend who is putting up with all her quirks no questions asked and willing to die for her, two (??!!! (and actually even more if you squint)) love interests, a high fashion dress (im like.. 🤦🏼‍♀️ i cant) and everyone else just generally look at her with admiration like she hanged the moon completely out of nowhere. i mean what is this? a mary sue fanfic? anyways i have to say that i really liked the first ep and i was very excited abt this series, but the more i watched the less i liked it.. the cast.. well i like original wednesday better and when i say original i mean 1991 movie (but not 1993 lol) and i mean christina ricci ofc.. catherine zeta jones is cool, but once again original morticia was better. i have no issues with gomez casting, but the best gomez was in the 60s b&w series. thing is rocking, zero complaints here. fester is almost there even tho its impossible to top christopher lloyd. and where is itt? did they gatekeep him for future seasons? the plot.. uh the plot is meh.. i only wanna say that i hate it when protagonists ancestor looks exactly like them bc its totally plausible and it just highlights how ruthless and pointless life really is lol. oh yeah oslo i had to pause and scream a long and loud NOOOOO during the kiss scene. its like idk so uncalled for do you guys have nothing sacred at all lol. otherwise i liked the music ofc Except dua lipa, i mean dgmw i listened to future nostalgia on repeat as much as the next girl, but its just not the song for this series im sorry.. they could have found a more suitable song with the same exact message.. anyways am i gonna watch next seasons? yes, but only out of respect for tim burton and the original franchise. i mean it wasnt terrible, it just wasnt what i wanted..

omg you guys the second cp in lita is like soooo gooood, so much better than the first one lol (i wonder if they do cp rivalry like we do in kp). which came as a surprise to me bc i started watching this series for the vegaspete bastard love child and unfortunately i was sorta disappointed.. dgmw hes very attractive and has unique facial features, but he cant pull off the ao3 alpha he was supposed to act out even next to one brain celled oblivious partner (no offence lol). idk maybe hes too young. or im just too old. ig its the latter bc i watched all four of them like they are an omega camp on roaming, ig im just not the target audience of this show 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️. anyways imo the first cp was boring and i really didnt expect anything out of the series, but then second cp plot started and i literally lit up. they really do have chemistry inside and outside of the show, the acting is somewhat better, the only but for me is that the plot was unnecessarily too dark, especially after the mawkishness of the first half. i have to mention that i paralleled them with norhelm at some point which is so hilarious to me. in short i stan this cp but just in case they do individual stanning like we do in kp (meaning hating eo guts) then my bias is peat <333 one thing really squicked me - the author (was it a novel?) obv has a kink for infantilization and helplessness and sadly they put it in both plots and not as a prediscussed kink (which is ok), but as real life situations. its a huge yikes and a big no-no for me, but to each their own ig, im not gonna undust my moral compass for a bl. what else.. oh they should really stop with reusing footage bc im still seeing this fucking truck driving in my nightmares. and i didnt like the opening ost so much i had to skip it every time. well ig not everyone can afford an ost by slot machine or jeff satur 😏😏😏. oh yeah and the whole weather referencing was cute uwu

A boy and his (psuedo)dragons

For some context here, I was playing a dragonborn monk who was obsessed with all things draconic. At some point my monk had adopted a psuedodragon and with some grace from the dm bound it as a familiar. Our party had a tinker gnome who had created an oaken bolter. The party got separated by some trap doors in the floor.

Dm: so rogue, fighter, and psuedodragon are upstairs, monk, warlock, bolter, and paladin are downstairs… Rogue: I’m gonna check out this room up ahead and avoid the trap door. Dm: fighter and psuedodragon following? Fighter and I: sure why not Dm: you open the door and see five orcs Me: and psuedodragon is gonna run back and go down the trap door Dm: (stiffling laughter) so he’s bouncing on the trap door but he’s too light to set it off, and is also out of movement. Me: oh boy… well at least he’s not in the room with the orc fight…

Warlock (owner of the bolter): ok, so the bolter is gonna try to get back upstairs the way he came using his harpoon Dm: ok, roll for attack *turns to me* what’s your psuedodragon’s ac? Me: uh oh… less than that roll… Dm: *to warlock* roll damage for the harpoon Me: oh no… Warlock: 12 Me: oh nooooo!!!!! Dm: so the harpoon bursts through the wooden trap door and impales the psuedodragon, the harpoon falls back down. Monk, you see a single feather float down. Me: I catch the feather… Dm: roll an insight check Me: nat 20 Dm: you instantly recognize it as what remains of your psuedodragon. Me: monk starts crying and sobbing knowing instantly what just happened Warlock: whoops… at least he’s a familiar and you’ll be able to call him back… Me: you just killed my best friend and that’s all you’ve got to say?

Later in the same building

Dm: you all walk into a room, there’s a fire going in the fireplace, a comfortable arm chair is facing it. As you’re looking around, the chair swivels to face you. In the chair is an elven woman stroking the back of a psuedodragon.

Monk: “nice psuedodragon” while fighting tears Dm: would you like to hold him Monk: “yes please” tears are streaming down his face “ I lost mine recently” Dm: oh… would you like to keep him? Monk: openly sobbing into the psuedodragon “Yes! Thank you!”

Then we got teleported to a town. Time to try to find another find familiar scroll :/

So, in the year of our, right the heck now, 2020, I had never seen Avatar.  The highest grossing movie of all time for nearly, a decade, and I’d just avoided it. I’d never had an excuse to watch it, so I never did.

(Also, amazingly, whenever I brought up the other Avatar, the last airbender one, my mother would think I was talking about this one every single time, and I’d have to be like, nooooo, Mom, my friends and I aren’t going to be talking about that nearly as obsessively.)

Hearing this, a friend decided to show me the movie a few days ago. I watched the first half, because the friend only liked the first half, and I was told by my brother today that it gets much worse from there. So here are my thoughts on the movie right now, and I’ll update after I finish it. As a note, I didn’t go in entirely spoiler free, and I know about the Dances with Smurfs analogy. So, I came in thinking I knew mostly what to expect.

·         First off, why is everyone in this story such a moron? Sure, I can understand giving the meatheaded marine the opportunity to join so they don’t waste his brother’s avatar body, but they don’t handle this well. The scientists find out he doesn’t have any training, and they immediately put him into the avatar body anyway. Why not give him training? There is no reason not to, but this is never brought up other than when the scientist is like why the hell is he here?

·         The moment he gets an avatar body, he starts running around when everyone is telling him to sit down so they can check on him. He escapes and runs around the whole camp. There are no consequences for this.

·         Head  scientist Sigourney Weaver  keeps giving him shit for literally just being there. He just got hired. This is not his fault. They really should have given him more training before letting him out in the field. Though this could be just her character being kind of a jerk.

·         Unobtainium is still the silliest goddamn name.

·         Main character hears the natives referred to as savages and doesn’t immediately feel disturbed. This might be more of something that bothers me than anyone else, but it’s kinda amazing this character gets as far as he does at that point. You could probably argue that the later parts of the story indicate character growth, but I just didn’t start out anywhere near of the side of this character.

·         They do everyone else right, but head scientist Sigourney Weaver’s avatar looks far, far, too much like Sigourney Weaver. It’s something in her eyes, but when I look at her, it immediately hits the uncanny valley for me. It got so much other stuff right, just not her face.

·        As a result of “let’s not give him training before sending him out, ” he gets chased by a creature he knows nothing about and falls off a waterfall, right into the plot.

·         This movie must have inspired so, sooo much porn. I know it. Like wow. Just look at the designs of the Na’vi and the avatars for two minutes, and tell me you don’t see it.

·         The creature design really is fantastic, and the visual effects were applauded for a reason. I love the creativity, and the Eywa (little wisp things) are just gorgeous. Them and the bird/dragon mounts are probably my favorite.

·         One of the stated reasons, (another being the Eywa saying this random ass dude is a pure soul), that the Na’vi willing to let in a warrior into the tribe, is because he’s a warrior rather than a scientist? That’s a bit...weak. You’d think they’d be more okay with someone who doesn’t go around murdering, especially considering their culture and how sad Neytiri is when some predators die and main character doesn’t honor them properly.  There’s apparently some extended scenes that involve shootouts and Neytiri’s unmentioned sister, and I think that makes it make them accepting a warrior make even less sense, but I don’t know all of the details, and I can’t fully make that argument in sound mind.

·         I kinda want to throw the main character off a bridge during half of this. Maybe because there’s so much glorifying his inherent militaristic attitude? They’re not willing to accept scientists, but they’ll accept this guy. Who is kind of a dope.

·         The connecting tendrils on the Na’vi are in a pretty vulnerable spot. I’m surprised there isn’t more protection around their hair.

·         I didn’t hate the first half. I did have some inherent issues with some of the plot choices. It is a very pretty movie, and I appreciate the imagination behind the designs of the planet and the creatures. I’m sure there are arguments to be made for most of my issues with the movie as well, and I have only watched the first half, so my thoughts might change by the time I’m through.

I reaaaaaaaally fucking hate this Griffin guy

OHHHH SHIT THEY ALL HEARD THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME THAT CANNOT BE GOOD OH GOD

oh shit Saanvi, killing the dude is D A R K though her thought process makes sense. almost getting killed by a calling miiiight put a damper on them a bit

I forgot Zeke was a recovering alcoholic sakjfhksf

ALSO FUCKING. RUFFNUT SMACKING HER BRAIDS INTO TUFF’S FACE. THE SLO-MO DISASTER HAPPENING BEHIND THE BATTLE COUPLE. BEST PROMO BANNER EVER

Zeke honestly what did you expect Jared to do? You haven’t exactly been the most un-creepy, un-suspicious guy in the show as of late

awwwww hugs NOW GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER SHE BELONGS TO JARED AND LOURDES

oh boy other scientists are finding the markers that….that does NOT sound good

how DARE this doctor guy use my favorite line ever. “we have to stop meeting like this” fuck OFFFFFFFF

I swear to god if Zeke dies. I don’t exactly like him but I don’t want him to DIE

OHHHHHHH SHIIIIT THERE ARE THE HEADSTONES — WAIT DID HE JUST SAY THEY’RE G O I N G TO DIE?????? OH. OH NO. OH FUCK. OH GOD

[alls-fair-in-pride-and-prejudice]

I'm trying not to go all Netherese orb mode with excitement right now cause I have been on the dragon prince train since about the same time (... Side note... Can you call a thing a hyperfixation if it lasts over half a decade? 🤔)

Also make no mistake the reason I "hate" Viren is because of what a tragic character and excellent antagonist he is and that like "nooooo don't play into your own self destruction and destruction of those you love!" feeling. I have always been fascinated with him as a character (though the crux of my obsession in the show to start with was Aaravos and all the questions and theories concocted around him)

I have GOT to pay more attention to the credits art whenever I'm watching The Dragon Prince I have it in the background as a comfort so I keep forgetting to push the "watch credits" button.

The scales-blindfold-sword thing is so frickin good and also something we can see recreated in the next generation with Callum-Ezran-Rayla (Callum and Viren parallels my beloved) and I think there's something to be said for the necessity of removing the blindfold. This is something Ezran has come into conflict with a couple times now in his role as king. He wants to move forward with everyone on equal footing, but the reality is that they're not on equal footing just yet. Everyone is still uniquely affected by centuries of trauma, and in trying to just treat everybody the same you don't grant them the nuanced care that they need to actually move past it. I'm not so sure it's subverting his role as fair so much as acknowledging that we cannot pretend that all things are equal, that Harrow had maybe engaged in some willful blindness with regards to the dirtier methods needed to keep things running, and by the end he faced those methods head on and took a stand.

Also LOVE the "build the orphanage" mention totally my view as well. It does get a lot tricky when it's not building an orphanage though but solving a trolley problem. Intentions matter because there's gonna be pain no matter what you do and you gotta defend your decision and selfish motivations are definitely going to affect the ethos of such an argument.

AND THE USEFULNESS YES YES YES they both want to be useful and needed so bad and I love it (totally not cause I relate to it at all psh no couldn't be me) and depending on who's influencing them they're either going to run themselves into the ground trying to be everything (Aaravos whispering in Viren's ear) or finally reach some peace with just being human (player and Gale in the professor ending). Though I'd still argue that the both of them aren't fully honest about their more selfish motivations in general, not in the sense of trying to fool anyone, but more in the sense of they don't recognize it themselves. They've built up this story of who they are in part because of that desire to be useful. When we meet Gale in game he's a little bit more inclined to admit his darker side (just slightly) because he's just been through a year of hell then stopped off in actual hell during the abduction. Viren has a similar improvement in his self examination after going through, for lack of a better term, Some Shit.

I'm honestly just so honored you responded to my little rambly tags I hope they didn't come off as criticism/argument I was very eagerly engaging with the premise you presented.

Coming into BG3 BladeWeave (Wyll x Gale) from TDP Virrow (Viren x Harrow) is kind of a weird experience. Admittedly, the big part of the initial draw for me was the matching aesthetics between them, and, obviously, they are not the same characters. But in terms of narrative draws they do have lots of common themes that it feels more like a conversation.

Wyll, raised by a leader to be a leader, ends up accepting demonic warlock pact with Mizora to protect Baldur’s Gate. And is banished by his own father because the pact forbids him to share his reasons. This does mesh with themes of dark magic in TDP and how it’s distasteful, but instrumental in keeping Katolis safe – and how if Harrow didn’t have Viren to do the dirty work for him, he may have had to make these choices all on his own, ending up with debts and scars and stigma of it all.

Meanwhile, if human dark magic was not stigmatized, it’s easy to see Viren in the role of Gale – a successful and ambitious archmage. This background almost seems lighthearted in comparison, with Gale not really being involved in politics. But not having all the same challenges doesn’t free Gale from hardship – his ambition has to go somewhere. Both of the characters’ cores are ultimately about their drive in serving others and challenging the forbidden. And both of them have to deal with divorce/breakup, and the weight of positive utility of their death for the people they care about.

Bladeweave in relation to Virrow feels like a fix-it power balancer ship – they both fuck things up, and have their insecurities, but they can make each other better.

And it is a little funny to me that I keep chatting to my TDP friends about bladeweave with all the joyful excitement – “Just imagine, ‘Harrow’ has horns!” “’Viren’ has a magical cancer bomb in his chest, what fun!”. But I do struggle to go full propaganda the other way.

TDP is ultimately a kids show, and some of the narrative decisions are v much not my jam. Half of my favorite ship (Virrow) has been dead (or as good as dead) since s1e3, but it still lives rent free in my mind. I guess it is just the near shakespearian tragedy of them. Which I suppose does highlight the biggest potential draw for any BladeWeave appreciators: they have SO much history together.

Basically, imagine that Wyll and Gale grew up together. Imagine that Gale has served as a mage to Wyll’s family. They both want to do the best for the Baldur’s Gate, but that often means accepting dangerous ‘demonic pacts’. Gale has been taking the burnt of those onto himself, ruining his personal relationships for the sake of the greater good. And as much as Wyll is accepting of that, he is also at least a little disgusted at the cost, and at himself for letting it happen. And both of them are not very good at letting things go.

Virrow is a trainwreck that keeps going, and I just can’t turn away.

What's a sound you hate and then a sound you love ?

You know that horrible noise an electronic device makes sometimes ? I hate that sound

I like the sound of the wind so much uwu

Do you believe in ghosts ?

Yes and no, like you know, no but yes

Do you believe in aliens ?

Definitely

Do you drive, if so have you crashed ?

I'm currently learning to drive and I never had a crash

Do you like the smell of gasoline ?

Nooooo I hate it

What's the worst injury you've ever had ?

I can think of three major ones. The first was when I was young, I was riding a bike and I fell on my chin and I had four stitches. The second one I was maybe 9 or 10 and I was again riding a bike with a "friend" and like her wheel collided with mine and we both fell and my bottom lip just collided with her handlebar and I had my lip swollen for a week. And the last one I was just having fun in a trampoline and I fell through its entrance unto the patio which was made of cement tiles and my right wrist took all the damage and it still hurts sometimes when it's cold or if I use it too much.

Do you have any obsessions right now ?

Never heard about kpop and BTS ?

Do you tend to hold grudges against people who have wronged you ?

I can accept to talk to these people in a polite way again but I never really forget I guess

In a relationship ?

Nope I'm single af

I'm too tired to tag anyone so consider yourself tagged if you see this :))
