“i love you.” that’s all he had to say. three small words. yet they felt so big; intimidating. heavy on his tongue. but it was alright. nothing kyojuro couldn’t do.
except it felt like so much more. so much so that it was all kyojuro could think, barely taking in a single word shinobu said. i love you, he wanted to say. kocho, i love you. i love you, i love you, i love you—
“what?”
kyojuro blinked. shinobu had gone quiet, her eyes wide.
“kocho?” he asked. then the aftertaste of what he’d said hit him. he’d spoken unintentionally. but he recalled, ever so slightly, the recent curve of the trio of words he’d been struggling so hard to say. i love you.
“oh. did i-“ kyojuro stuttered. he looked away, his face blooming red. “did i say-“
shinobu’s soft laugh redirected his gaze back to her. she was smiling, a touch amused, but her cheeks were a dusty rose.
“ah… rengoku-san, did you not to mean to say that?” she asked gently. she was so patient. she was so sweet.
“uhm. no. i- yes!” kyojuro stammered. he shifted. “uhm. i did. i wanted- i didn’t mean to say it now- but i wanted to say it to you.”
“oh!” shinobu’s surprise came back. she was very pretty in pink. “that’s-… very sweet of you, rengoku-san…”
“i’m sorry if i’ve made you uncomfortable now,” kyojuro mumbled. he forced his eyes to stay up, trying to level his anxiety. he realized this must’ve cause discomfort for the bluntness of it. he was worried if he’d made the atmosphere awkward for her.
“no need to apologize,” she reassured him. “may i respond? to your… statement.”
kyojuro nodded furiously. “i would appreciate it!” he said, a nervous exuberance fitting into his voice.
shinobu smiled. “i’d like to say i love you as well,” she told him calmly. “i believe i really like you. i do enjoy your company and… you’re a very kind person.”
somehow, kyojuro’s face burned hotter. “i-“ he cleared his throat. “i’m honored! thank you so much, kocho… i wasn’t- i wasn’t sure if you felt the same! i’m relieved, honestly! i hope… i hope we could try to have a relationship of more than friendship?”
“of course,” shinobu agreed. she seemed suddenly shy, her composure cracking as her eyes flicked away. she bowed her head. “i’m happy as well…”
kyojuro’s smile spread across his face. shinobu returned the smile.
then, intentionally, confidently, he said, “i love you so very much.”

Watching Sam & Brennan talk about the beauty of frivolity, of adults playing silly games just as seriously as they fight to survive, and... yeah. There are some things that keep us alive, and there are some things that make life worth living, and I think games are one of those things that fall into both categories. Games make our lives better and they make us better at being alive. I think that's pretty cool.
#k talks#adventure academy#dropout tv#sam reich#brennan lee mulligan#and i say this not in an evopsych way. never. but in a historian looking back at the infinite intricacy of human experience and crying#i know i'm not really saying anything that anarchist philosophers haven't already said but it just hits me every time. it's so good#(& when the lich heard brennan quote graeber we had to pause the video while he had a little philosophical squee)#i feel for brennan not being able to play mafia bc he's too busy hosting it tho. bc. mood#i am rarely allowed to survive a mafia game these last few years#i wish i could invite everyone else who went 'oof. yeah. same' to join my decade-long group of assorted folks#who've been playing increasingly complicated week-long games of mafia over forum & then facebook & now discord for a decade or so#bc oh boy. those games are fun as HELL & we always love new players#especially the kind who will play DEADLY seriously :)

I genuinely love not having a crush like I’m not over here feeling physically sick over some mid guy being dry to me I’m literally chilling
#Spring semester of last year was so bad bc I was unironically into 3 guys at once and they were all#Being dry and cryptic to me#And then before that in 2022 I had my horrid situationship#I had a mini obsession arc in dec 2023 over someone but now there hasn’t been anyone since#And my palette is so cleansed#When a girl is like I miss having a crush I’m like you’re literally a masochist#There was very briefly a girl I thought I had a crush on when I realized I’m bicurious but#I haven’t put effort into talking to her bc the idea of pursuing anyone makes me wanna claw my eyes out#I’m pretty sure I ghosted her by like just not responding to her last messsge actually#Not on purpose but more so bc I realized I was feeling the same anxiety I felt whenever I had a crush so I was like#Yeah I’m dropping this for now#I’m also always the most present for my friends when I don’t have a crush so idk#Like I don’t wanna be consumed by anyone I just wanna chill#The solution to not having normal attraction to people is just to not be attracted to anyone at all#I fr cracked it#I always just crave the butterflies out of it and never an actual relationship anyway#But they’re so not worth it#Which is why I always get bored of guys who’re forthright like oh ok you actually WANT something…. U don’t wanna just have fun#Not for me#I think the guys I’m into and I typically diverge in the sense that neither of us wants a relationship but they just wanna fuck me#And I more so just want the butterflies experience / to playact couple for like a couple months but nothing too serious#Which is why it never works#Like it’s not that it doesn’t work bc either of us wants a relationship it’s more that what we want out of the situationship is different#So lame#Ok this was a lot but I literally came to this epiphany while writing these tags

seeing people claim that lucanis is 'bad representation' is hilarious to me because in so many ways he's really the closest anything has ever gotten to capturing my own personal experience. sorry for being bad real life queer and mental health/neurodiversity representation folks 😔 I'll take time to reflect and do some work on myself and try to do better in the future
#it's lucanis and harrowhark nonagesimus. I'm basically in the middle of that venn diagram. it's about as fun as it sounds lol#but. we. stay. silly. we stay silly. *deep breath* we stay silly#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#lucanis dellamorte#it does show bioware kind of are fucked coming and going tho. taash' character arc holds your hand too much apparently#and the moment lucanis' arc lets go of your hand for a second you walk directly into traffic and scream 'why would bioware do me like this'#is either arc perfect? no of course not as I apparently have to state every time to the point of tediousness. but also there clearly#is no winning everyone over anyway and people will invent problems that frankly do not exist. tilting at windmills gamer style#'is this just maybe not 100% 4 me but a bit for someone else? no. it's the writers who are objectively wrong and we all agree on this'#tooltip pop up: that is literally never true. there's NOTHING we all agree on. this is dragon age fandom.#you have been alive long enough to write words and access the internet. you know this if you search your heart#and think about it for even a second. so please do that before posting in the tag where I have to see it#as always 'your experience is not universal' is a useful thing to keep in the back of your head lol#also why lucanis is autistic To Me. a different flavour than taash and potentially bellara but the flavour closest to um. well. me lol

It's that time again--time to post a round of commissions! This one is for @bluebrush09arts, and it was so fun to do a dynamic pose and fun flashy effects!
Want a commission of your very own? I have a commission waitlist! Shoot me a DM if you’re interested in being added~
#commissions#commission#quentin rosehawk#dungeons & dragons#dnd#I believe I've drawn this fellow before too!#so it's always fun to come back to a character with more experience under your belt

my favourite writing device is having an un-Rei-liable narrator
#rei#volo#cheren#// tikposting#// character meta#the crowd booes me off the stage#forgive the pun XDDD his name is too easy to pun on#the way i write it it's not a conscious choice. it's just how the pov character (rei) experiences and contextualises the world#revealing backstory and personality and mindset through narration !!!!#not necessarily out of malice it's just. how he views things#interpreting new and foreign experiences through the lens of what came before...#conversations which read differently to different people.#in the context of rei that's stuff like unease around authority figures#always choosing his words carefully to project an image of competence (he has to be needed)#distrust and not taking things at face value but also paradoxically a fragile and nurtured sense of almost blind optimism#when it comes to friendships. like volo. (everyone turned on me when the sky turned red but it all resolved itself in the end didn't it?)#(what makes this different? / a lot of things. / i choose to believe)#volo [directly]: “i won't be stopped from my goal” rei thoughts: we can work with this!!!!#and everything with Arceus too and his divine blessings and a plan that will work out in the end#if Rei can just... figure out what part he's meant to play. interpreting events as a narrative hurtling towards some unknown conclusion#i am talking about rei here specifically but this writing device is so good in general#would be fun to try get inside volo's head. there's so much going on there i don't understand yet#quite fond of that one analysis post about how volo lacks emotional intelligence and sees relationships as transactions#not necessarily out of malice it's just how he views things. whether because of past experience or brain chemistry#also need to give a shout to cheren my guy who is an outsider pov who projects his own experiences onto new things so that he Understands#(an outsider to Hilbert and N's clash of truth and ideals. life changing experience and knowledge but felt just a little off to the left)#(the narrative repeated again with new heroes. all he can do is help them but it falls on their shoulders in the end)#(no wonder he tries to insert himself into Situations)#anyway tag ramble over feel free to also ramble to me about your takes XD#rei pokemon

I'm in the process of developing my style for drawing these guys. Started with a small change in my approach to their eyes and liking the improvement so far! :>
#osomatsu-san#osomatsu san#osomatsu#karamatsu#choromatsu#ichimatsu#jyushimatsu#todomatsu#matsubros#piedraws#doodles#I was having trouble drawing Kara so I ended up with more of him due to making more attempts#sometimes I feel like the less I try the better they turn out??#not always but#trying too hard probably stifles the process#gotta keep working on letting my art be bad#improving your skills is good but above all have fun#experiment with different things and see what sticks#i.e. what makes drawing more fun and brings your art closer to the image in your head or whatever your art goals are

The Hobbit or Bilbo Baggins's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad, Not At All Fun Steppe Vacation
#this one has layers#reading the hobbit is truly an experience if you've only watched the movies when they first came out#It really feels like Tolkien is making fun of Bilbo's worst vacation ever (I'm only at half of it I haven't been hit with the feelings yet#give me time)#when Gandalf just fucking leaves after the Eagles and Tolkien writes#'The dwarves groaned and looked most distressed and Bilbo wept'#I fucking lost it. Died of laughter in the middle of the night in my room.#Bilbo truly is Mental Breakdown Georg#I would have cried to. Jesus. Somebody give him ten pipe-weeds cigarettes and a gin tonic.#He should have been at club (=at home reading his books with a cup of tea)#rip Tolkien you would have loved posts about torturing your characters (I do not know enough about Tolkien to support this claim)#I love this book so much Bilbo is admittedly a pretty average guy man grown adult and then he has to survive goblins and fly on#giant eagles back and if the guy that had repeatedly saved my ass from death told me 'Well gotta go now. Too-da-loo!' I would have cried as#well. Bilbo may be a character of a fantasy novel but he does not know that. Trying to see things from his perspective for a moment instead#of the external perspective of Tolkien playing the witty narrator truly is devastating.#I love Bilbo Baggins so much. I love the Hobbit so much.#Leaving home always comes at a cost. Rotting inside your house also comes at a cost.#You're going to be uncomfortable and unhappy and desperate and regretting your decision at some point whichever option you choose.#I have history with travels and running away from places. It's a restleness. I also hate being uncomfortable which doesn't pair up well#with feeling an itch whenever you're at home too long. I get you Bilbo Baggins.#bilbo baggins#the hobbit#the hobbit book

READING YOUR TAGS AND IT WAS ONE OF MY POSTS THAT CONVINCED YOU TO JOIN????? I AM SO SO HONORED!!!! ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM SO GRATEFUL YOU'RE IN THE FANDOM, YOUR ART OF THE DCA IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!
IT WAS!!! IT WAS THIS ONE: https://www.tumblr.com/cacaocheri/737396340539146240/the-dca-fandom-is-genuinely-the-healthiest-fandom
and like even before that i loved seeing your comics of Sun and Charlie (and occasionally Moon)! and all the energy and excitement of the fandom! just bursting with creativity and fun!
AND THANK YOU!! i'm happy to be here :')
#ask the crab#dca fandom#i love the dca fandom!#it's just so fun and different from my previous fandom experiences#after my first fandom experience#i kinda just decided to enjoy things on my own#which was alright#but a little lonesome#and it always felt like i never had the same interests as my friends#so i always felt like the weird one#so it's refreshing to be around so many people who love the DCA too!#and like you said it's such a healthy fandom#SO much creativity and support for one another

now that i'm playing dragon age: veilguard i understand hbomberguy so much better. think i could probably do a 3.5 hours long video called "dragon age: the veilguard is FINE and here's why"
#the writing in dragon age has Always been a bit clunky it's part of the charm#but yes there are sections in DAV that made me go “oh nooo”#but no it isn't as bad as people say#the mechanics are fun idc. it's bad that my new laptop can run all of BG3 fine but becomes laggy as hell in any city location in DAV tho#companions r generally charming and they're all professionals so it makes sense they're less prone to big fights than say DAO morrigan#but yes i do miss having a bit more tension in the party sometimes#the character creator is great for dudes but yea it would probably b cool if it were possible to have curvier bodies for those who want tha#but no it isn't literally impossible to make good-looking rooks. it's quite easy actually#and like yeah you can't have wildly out there body types but it's pretty cool that you can be a geralt type a twink or chubby as a dude#(i play male characters and have only done the female cc once for a custom f!inquisitor so i have more experience w that one)#the qunari also look. fine? the antaam don't look too soft or anything so far#the majority of complaints against this game were stupid and not rooted in anything real#BUT!!! i don't love it#solas continues to be a highlight#lucanis is great so far and i love neve#neve's voice acting is amazing#she manages to make some very disappointing lines sound good#but..... i can't pretend the writing *isn't* awkward in places#d'meta's crossing stands out to me as a pretty bad case of overly direct storytelling#(spoilers) talking to the mayor was deeply disappointing! he just TOLD rook what he did and why. it felt so anticlimactic#especially bc the imagery in the village was striking and grotesque#but there didn't feel like there was any payoff#other sections have been great#but DAV just feels like it completely lacks subtlety at times#the other DA games haven't always been masters of show dont tell but this section felt like a first draft#like someone was working out the story and didn't have time to polish the script at all before the voice actors were called in#idk it really stands out to me as bad#also yeah it's noticeable that you don't really get to do evil things. at least not yet
