I’m so interested to see if the show will explore how Eloise feels about her most favorite brother falling in love and leaving her side. He’s her safe space within their family and she’s gotta feel so bittersweet about finally seeing him get his happy ending, but also sad knowing they won’t be in a similar life phase anymore.

What fucks me up about the Cazador fight is that in the end he is just some guy, a vampire sure, but just some guy.

Astarion’s stories build him up to be an inhumanly strong monster, his fear painting the picture of someone strong and terrifying. But once you get to him, Cazador is almost underwhelmingly plain and his entire fight isn’t the nightmare that you would have anticipated.

Sure, he has a few good spells but he spends most of the fight hiding behind his servants and turning himself into mist. A few well placed arrows and a few spells of your own and he goes down without barely any fight. It’s his servants that make the fight complicated.

Cazador himself is not a threat to your party. It’s those that he controls that are the danger and that’s why he lost as easily as he did. Because he couldn’t fathom that Astarion, someone he deemed his creation, someone he forced to do his abhorrent biddings for years, was part of what made Cazador so powerful.

Cazador without his “creations” is just a man.

Astarion without his “creator” is a man who’s loved.

in honor of recent monster hunter wilds news, i have something to say, rant incoming with not a lot of effort and not really any real character analysis or anything, just random thoughts in no particular order: monhun world handler was good actually, and i dont get why shes so overhated.

i can absolutely see some frustrations with her, my biggest issue is more with the game than with her, and thats the constant "hey dont forget to do the main quest" every single time you return to base (handler is NOT the only one who does this, dont put all the blame on her), but it upsets me that what everyone typically seems to complain about with her is everything thats NOT an issue.

- "shes ugly/fat" no shes not, shes just not Extra Cutesy

- "she eats too much" her love of food is a character trait, youre mad at a character in a silly video game for having a silly personality.

- "she gets into trouble a lot" you are the hunter and her teammate. your job is to attack the monsters. its not her fault that shes trying to do her job and research the field. she could be smarter about it, yea, but no one has any problem when the exact same could be said about felynes since i think monhun 1. this is not a serious franchise, and characters will be a little goofy when it comes to monsters

- "well what about the deviljho" that is entirely not her fault, the questline makes a massive deal over this

- "she stole my hug from the cat" your palico is just as happy to see her as they are to see you, shes simply the one who crouched down to return a hug, not the hunter

you dont have to like her obviously, but i dont think she deserves to be treated like the scum of the earth for such small reasoning

anyway rant over, im excited for wilds, im excited to see what almas like, i just wish worlds handler wasnt being burned at the stake over it for little to no reason

i would like to do other things on this blog than just talk into the void tbh, i probably will someday, theres just some thoughts like this that i get a bit too passionate about and cant help wanting to toss into the wind and hope it reaches some people

being a single dad is all fun and games until it's mother's day and people are saying happy mother's day to a fucking mother that hasn't done jack shit to raise her child

like no, i am NOT his mom but fuck everything if she's been a damn mom to him. i'm out here being his mom AND dad and she thinks she has any right to call herself his MOTHER? to pat herself on the back for being a MOM?

FUCK YOU, you call him once a week (if that)(usually twice a month) for maybe 30 minutes at most. you give me less than £200 a month for child support and have no fucking idea what goes on with him outside of that. you don't go to his chemo or his therapy or calm him down after meltdowns or learn barely visible cues to stop him from getting upset or wake up at 3 am because he's being sick all over his room. you don't know any of his friends names or his favourite class or attend parent/teacher meetings or volunteer for field trips.

i taught this kid how to fucking read and how to write his name and what has she done? NOTHING. fucking NOTHING.

she carried him for 9 months and then gave birth to him, but she is not his fucking mom

What actually kills me is the quiver in Aelwyn’s voice and the choice of words when she talks back to her father.

“She’s just a baby. She’s still so young”

Because those are the words of an older sister that never really had the chance to protect her sibling no matter how much she would have wanted to. The words of someone that is so suddenly aware of the absurdity of the situation and.

Someone who is looking at their sister and seeing the child that her parents refuse to see. And her voice is breaking as she tries to stand up for Adaine for the first time and as she fails to protect her once again.

Adaine and Aelwyn are just kids, they’re still so young. And it breaks my heart.

My favourite thing about the dark urge run is that when you tell everyone in camp about your dark fantasies they’re all like „yeeeaaah, we all are a little angry every once in a while! Just don’t think about it!“

Astarion on the other hand looks at you once and goes „Ooooh you’re fucked up fucked up! Great! Let’s get you through this! Don’t kill me plssss“

always bugs me a lil when i see people say "nepquiussprite" in homestuck discussions bout noncanon sprites cuz like. equeta is right there. feels nicer to say imo and it fits into the naming convention for trolls that even sprites use when theyre 2 trolls

There’s one line in Noah Kahan’s song “Growing sideways” in which he says “If my engine works perfect on empty, I guess I’ll drive” and if that isn’t 100% Riz Gukgak coded then I don’t know what is!

read a fic i’ve been putting off and scrolling past, not even marking for later but just scrolling past it, because the stars hadn’t aligned for me to read it. today they did (i wanted something to read on my way home from the library, while i unwinded at the park) and it was great and i loved it and really i should’ve read it earlier

it’s so good it had zoro as law’s first mate and it was fantastic and now it’s so late and so i won’t leave a comment rn but rest assured that after i wake up tomorrow you’re gonna get the best love letter of a comment ao3 user augment. i’ll kiss your brain fr

edit: i kept my word and left a 493 word long comment 💖

Sitting here thinking about how I watched Violet Evergarden and loved it and cried at every episode. And then like 4 years later found out they made a movie and Violet married the man who had known her since she was 10 who was like twice her age.

Sitting here thinking about how a lot of the "discourse" about this online boils down to people defending this ending for the series because "that's how things were back then" and "it's fiction" and "Violet made her own independent choice to be with him".

Nah dawg. Guess I'm just too sigma cuz I don't vibe with p*do shit like that.

Anyway if u feel the need to justify p*do shit in art and media pls block me immediately. Thanks.
