Reasons why everyone in my party hates me:

Astarion: absolutely does not hate me, always flirting and feeding... we are mega power couple ((I wish I recorded the fight that made us the power couple, but you'll just have to take my word for it)). He let me help him read his back, and he thinks I'm cute ❤️

Gale: dosnt hate me, but he doesn't like me. Simply because he is not in my main party and I keep him at camp cause I am afraid of him exploding and killing my whole party. Bonus: he told me how he fucked a God and I was like "I'm fucking a vampire" and we bonded it was cool ((this didn't really happen))

Lae'zel: doesn't hate me. In fact, she loves me. Me breathing is enough to wake that horny little beast inside her. Would definitely kill for me. And probably has killed for me

Shadowheart: hates me because I defended Lae'zel. I also won't ask her about her tragic back story. I tell her constantly that she is only in my group cause she can heal us. I would kick her out if she wasn't a good healer.

Wyll: THE LIST GOES ON

● I am fucking Astarion

● I called him a coward for making a deal with the devil

● I made fun of his horns

● told him I wasn't going to save his daddy

● told him to fuck off several times

● I am letting Astarion use me and abuse me as he so chooses

● I Resurrected dead characters

● I am actively breathing

Karlach: is a golden retriever and is Incapable of hating anyone and that includes me. She said that she would also ride Astarion if given the chance and she fully supports me and Astarion 😭 I loved having girl talk with her

More color palette meme 🎨 this time with Fjord. This palette was very fun to work with despite (or maybe because) it was made of colors not normally considered very attractive. An interesting challenge!

Here it is in dignified black-and-white (his fashion portrait) and in Jester-vision (his dating sim route).

We've had recent disappointments with the endings to series. For me, Last Twilight, Only Friends, and 23.5 stand out. While I loved the Sign to the end, there was that unexplained Tharn getting his freedom from Chalothorn, which made the very ending not quite perfect. And while I loved Century of Love all the way through, I know some folks were disappointed at the ending.

What are some QLs that you consider to have really strong endings?

OOOO what a great question!

10 BLs With the Strongest Endings

Some BLs had better endings than the rest of the show deserved, and some were saved by the ending, while still others built up to a good ending throughout. So I suspect it kinda depends on ones definition of strong. But here are mine (you'll never guess what's at the top? but...) it's in no particular order

Seven Days - no but ACTUALLY think about it. That ending is truly phenomenal. It ties everything together, gives hope for their relationship without being cheesy AND is crazy romantic, plus it brings the narrative full circle. That ending shot, the direction, the plot, the characters, and the story ALL tied in a neat little bow. It ends by indicating that something is starting for them, something familiar it's just now they are together. Fabulous.

Light On Me - on the beach, the whole friendship group, the kiss that mirrors their couple habit of cheek squiging? Peak YA BL. It reminded me of Make it Right, and that's no bad thing... for me.

Our Dating Sim - domestic boyfriends and then the pan over to all their couple photos. So exactly them.

To My Star - yeah, the sex scene, but remember this was when we finally realized that JiWoo not only liked him all along but actually desired him all along. The tsundere character breaking open for us to see the soft underbelly. Suddenly, all of his behavior made sense in retrospect. They used the final ultra romantic sex scene as a CHARACTER REVEAL. Fucking genius.

Semantic Error - the BOYFRIENDS of it all, the harken back to both the anime and the manga (with that spank bank file), the teasing and then the breaking of the forth wall. It was multiple cheeky punches out to the audience in a tiny stinger of a scene. Not to mention it had a kind of BL "ending fairy" thing that connected to them both being idols. Perfectly executed.

Love For Love's Sake - back in beach territory but wow. I mean this show starts with an ending. And it takes a lot for me to believe in the happiness of a parable about death and self worth. They managed it with this show. But that ending was killer.

My Beautiful Man - the ending made me reassess everything about the show, the story, and the characters. The ending made me love the show. It changed my mind. It BLEW my mind. I might have kinda lost my mind. In real time.

Unknown - there were struggles with this show and not everyone enjoyed the ending but I totally flipping loved it. FINALLY. You can't tell me that "you don't even know what I dream of" line doens't live in your head rent free.

Unintentional Love Story - not the ending scene so much as the whole final episode, it's so good. It brings the story together, we get multiple big realizations, sad baby, learning that baby was abused too, defending baby, baby defending himself. RINGS!

The Eighth Sense - so much peak boyfriend after so much angst. The casual language play and teasing, the stealing of the drink, just everything, and also how very very college it all is.

10 Others I just LOVE

Be Loved In House: I Do - ultra pasteurized cheese fest

Laws of Attraction - THE CAPED WEDDING OUTFITS

About Youth - rainbow kiss cheese fest

Long Time No See - BLOOD COVERED KISSES

Restart After Come Back Home - the pan around lens flare kiss and everything it MEANS

Bad Buddy - It was so CLEVER

DNA Says Love You - the claiming and then the tussle at the cafe? Gorgeous. Adorable. No notes.

Oh! Boarding House - a family gathering while the dads are holding hands behind the couch, adorable

Where Your Eyes Linger - that damn glow up

Tinted With You - perhaps... poly?

Wow... so few Thai BL. I guess this is Korea's strength in the BL sphere? Also more Japan than I expected and outsized rep for Taiwan. (I actually could have stuck a few more from Taiwan on here but they just get SO CHEESY.)

Does Junji Ito's Tomie do anything for you or is she on a pedestal like Barbie?

no wait i'm actually so deeply unnormal about tomie actually,,, it might just be because i recently finished my annual tomie re-read but her anthology is definitely my favorite thing junji ito's done and i receive five points of bludgeoning damage every time someone misinterprets it in a way that does not gel with my 'she is literally just a teenage girl' take-away. i will not be writing about her (aside from my one trillion word dissertation about how she is LITERALLY just a teenage girl ofc) but know that she is constantly on my mind. sorry all those guys did that to you babygirl if i were there i would've wrapped you in a warm blanket and told you murder is okay sometimes. i don't know if i have to say it again but. she is literally just a teenage girl you guys.

I’m v v depressed rn,,,,could I perchance request a little jmart??

I was supposed to be sleeping for a trip tomorrow. But instead I’m trying to cure both your and my depression with a jmart drawing. Here’s a seasonal drawing, hope it helps!

[ID: A Magnus Archives drawing of Jon and Martin. Martin is a white man with orange hair that’s faded white at the bangs, is wearing a puffy blue winter coat, a red beanie, and cow print pajamas. Jon is a short brown man with dark hair streaked with grey, cat earmuffs, a long black coat, and brown boots. Most of his face is covered by a white scarf. Both men are blushing while holding hands, as they walk together through a snowy path. Snowflakes fall around them. \End ID]
