"Weeeh! I wanna recruit Minthara on a good playthrough! Weeeh! I don't like the ultimatum and want to keep both Minthara and Halsin! Weeeh! I wanna make Minthara good! Weeeh! I don't want Minthara to break up with me!" Minthara deserves more content but none of these things are at all what she needs or deserves. No, these are all things that you want for yourself, but do absolutely nothing for her. This is one of the biggest L's in the game and it will forever enrage me because I just know it will never happen.

Minthara deserves to confront Orin like all the other companions do with their abusers. She deserves to scream and yell at Orin. She deserves to cut at her the same way Orin did, make her bleed and scream in pain. Minthara deserves to torture Orin, just as she did her in the mind flayer colony. Minthara deserves the right to roll up to the Temple of Bhaal and beat the shit out of Orin with her bare hands. Leave Orin begging for mercy in which Minthara will not even give her a drop. To slam Orin down on that altar and slice her throat, offer her up as a sacrifice to the father she is so blindly devoted to.

And yes, Minthara would be afraid. She would be TERRIFIED. Despite how strong and powerful Minthara is, she is also the only one afraid of Orin. Unlike Ketheric, or Gortash, or Sarevok, she is the only one who fully acknowledges just how dangerous Orin actually is and does not underestimate her. She will walk down into that temple, intending to duel Orin with a massive disadvantage because she is terrified.

Minthara choked when seeing Orin again in the mind flayer colony. She choked when seeing Orin as an imposter, throwing her deep into the ocean of paranoia and fear. And she is so entrenched in paranoia that it actually becomes palpable to everyone around her, even you. She describes herself as paranoid, but this is the first that you actually see how paranoid she is. And she choked again when Orin kidnapped someone in camp, making her feel inadequate, making a mockery of her for being unable to protect one of her own. And every day that passes, the more and more likely that the victim is going to die and she has doubts on their survival.

At every possible avenue in which Minthara could have done something or said something about Orin, she froze in place with fear. But she's had enough. She cannot be afraid of Orin forever and she doesn't want to be. One way or another, Orin has to die and she wants to get over that fear. She needs to know that Orin is dead, for herself.

This would also make the alurlssrin confession all the more impactful. She wants to tell you that she loves you in the best way that she can because of the very high likelihood that she will never have another chance to do so. She would beg you to come with her as you give her the courage. She has the courage to face her fears and confront her tormentor, because she knows she has you in her corner. If you have the courage to stand up to the very gods themselves, then she can stand up to Orin. Romanced or not, your presence alone is enough to give her the strength to do something she would otherwise be too terrified to do.

Minthara deserves the honor to solo duel Orin in a fight to the death. Minthara deserves the right to achieve vengeance for herself. No, I do not care that this confrontation would conflict with a Durge playthrough. In fact, it would provide a phenomenal source of some interesting, and toxic, drama between Durge and Minthara. Especially if they're in a relationship. This also does not mean that Minthara killing Orin instead of Durge would not have its consequences (because it most certainly will). Even if Minthara does not fight Orin, it would be so much better if Minthara was just given the fucking chance to yell at Orin like all the other companions in their personal quests.

I wanted to share some wee thoughts about Ratio’s E6 art & why I believe it is a symbolic parallel to Michelangelo’s David. This speaks to both Ratio’s humanist beliefs and possible future plot points.

Ratio’s E6 is Vincit Omnia Veritas or Truth Conquers All. I’ve heard it claimed (although I have no idea if it’s explicitly stated anywhere?) that the character’s E6 art represents them at their innermost core, an honest and deeply vulnerable shard of themselves. Evoking David here is an interesting choice; the biblical figure who, using nothing but a stone and sling, took down the tyrannical Goliath. The parallel is perhaps as simple as this: Ratio views himself - and by extension the truth - as the underdog, someone never accepted into the Genius society, forever to be kept from Nous and THEIR gaze, but nonetheless will, in the end, prove himself the final victor. Truth will topple the seemingly unconquerable, whatever that might be.

But I also think Michelangelo’s David is a specifically interesting parallel to draw on from a historical perspective. Ratio is pretty much the textbook definition of a renaissance man - he is a philosopher, a scholar, interested in medicine and science and the vast array of human achievement. He speaks in Latin (the language of education during the renaissance in Europe that allowed the transmission of information without having to rely on translation) while heavily styling himself on Ancient Greek symbols and drawing from Greek philosophy (often seen at the time as more ‘sophisticated’ and interested in ‘wisdom’ than the contemporary ‘militaristic’ Romans).

Michelangelo’s David was the first colossal marble statue to be carved since antiquity, and it came to be a symbol of the renaissance itself. This is interesting to me for Ratio and what I believe are his humanist beliefs. Humanism was an ideal that propagated during the renaissance that championed the belief that man had beauty, dignity and worth that deserved as much respect and adoration as any deity. Keep in mind this philosophy was emerging following the Middle Ages and at a time where religious institutions across Europe held exorbitant and sometimes absolute power. David as a statue is an ode to the sublime beauty of the human body, completely unashamed and uninhibited in his gigantic nakedness (Doctor! You’re huge!) retaliating against the idea that prominent idea at the time that man’s body is inherently sinful. The humanists sought to recenter humanity, and David became a symbol of man’s independence against the seemingly unconquerable might of the Church.

Consider how Ratio centres humanity in his Simulated Universe project, how he values every life, how interested he is in constant self-improvement. How this symbol - of not just the renaissance but of the re-centring of humanity itself - becomes an echo of an effigy fixed in the centre of his soul.

Ratio has never - as far as I’m aware? - stated or hinted at any desire to overthrow the Aeons or even disparage or rubbish them, but it is clear to me that he believes in the strength man can draw on despite them, through sheer force of intelligence and clever planning and fiercely independent thought, the weak can ultimately overcome, or at least stand shoulder to shoulder with, the strong. Perhaps this will become a more pertinent plot point in the future - who knows? - but this was fun to chew through nonetheless 🫶

FINALLY!! At long last, I've gotten my hands on a Pumpkin Kitty, after a whole year of wanting and waiting.

Her name is Latte! (Short for Miss Pumpkin Spice Latte) You can also call her Miss Spice!

Queequeg teaching you how to tie knots with Starbuck... I want the buff harpooner to be autistic about rope at me...

me too.

you don't even have to ask, she's the one who sees you puzzling over the ropes and pulls you to the side. within a blink she hands you a small length of new rope and sits next to you, close enough to hug. her deep, calm voice carefully instructs you on how to tie better knots, simplistic, then complex, a very subtle smile twitching on her lips whenever you succeed. you don't need to learn so many, but you want to. you want to stay, listening to her talk more than you've ever heard, the tension in your shoulders gradually leeching away

Starbuck joins you at some point, and you barely notice. not the way you usually do, nervously and with the strain of interacting. everything is comfortable, somehow, paying attention to Queequeg's voice so you're not overwhelmed. at some point her hands come to guide yours, and you have to resist the urge to stare at the vivid, beautiful tattoos and scars that dot her knuckles, beautiful because they're her. she holds your fingers so delicately, helping you tie a Desperate's Knot for the first time

and for a moment she simply grasps your hands, the finished knot in your palms as she watches you, here and existing with her.

given everything, i think we as a fandom need to really internalize that – even for those of us who prefer characterization derived from canon as much as possible – there is, at this point, increasingly no such thing as one true characterization. this is true even outside of discussions of personal read of a character. in this case, i am referring solely to the effect of the changes and edits larian has made, and continues to make, that affect characterization.

given the frankly somewhat unprecedented effect of these continuing changes and tweaks of characterization, it also raises the question of what counts as “canon”. and, at least in my personal determination, the answer is nothing so simple as it is in the case of many other mediums and source materials.

canon for each individual is going to mean something different — not just in the sense of their own canon playthrough, but also the version of the “canon” characters they experienced based on when they played the game.

as an example of this: my formative experience of halsin – my favorite character – was almost entirely prior to patch 5, a patch that made some fairly significant changes to his characterization. i do not personally feel myself required to change the character i love just because the game did after its full release. therefore, in most cases, when i am talking about and considering the character, it is in his pre-patch 5 iteration.

i’m sure there are others in similar positions, whether with the same character or other characters, and so it feels increasingly necessary to open these discussions.

not pitting sincaraz against each other just pointing out an objective truth that jannik was not a dominate player/potential grand slam winner last season (age 21/22) and carlos will finish this season semi-dominant and with two more grand slams (+ an olympic medal) (age 20/21). you can see how quickly a player's career can turn around within one season. so any talk about carlos being washed/playing badly sounds silly to me i can't lie. yes carlos wasn't as successful this year as last year. yes carlos wasn't as successful this year as jannik. last year jannik's highlights were throwing up in a trash can and beating djoko in davis cup (exaggerating.) so i really feel like carlos's struggles this season are slightly overinflated. we talk about "he has time he has time" let's be clear not only does he have time in his career (he is literally 21) he also has time on his closest current rival (age-wise, carlos's 2024 season is jannik's 2022 season). it will be two years before carlos is even the same age as jannik is now. so like. lets be chill here u know.

From left to right (plus bonus fact that doesn't really matter but is fun all the same):

Patches (ALBW/TH) got into dying their hair with Irene's influence sometime after their first journey. The pink was half-accidental and half-intended to be a prank, but he liked the look of it so much that he's kept it ever since.

Dusk (TP) has an iron gut — second only to Knight's — and the favoured Chu Jelly flavour to show for it (purple).

Knight (AoC) is an older sibling and has Complicated Feelings about it. To be fair, they have Complicated Feelings about a lot of things at the moment—

Sailor (WW/PH/HW) is an experienced participant and enjoyer of special handshakes and high-fives. He's great at clapping games too!

Linh's (ST) handwriting is the best of the party. This doesn't mean as much as they'd like it to.

Grasshopper (OoT/MM/HW) does not keep any bottled fairies in his inventory. Emergencies are handled either with potions or the hope that a fairy fountain is close by.

Cori (MC) has been banned from using Roc's Cape in conjunction with his Pegasus Boots in so many areas of Hyrule Town that he's taken to only wearing one or the other out of habit.

[timothylawrence]

this blog is definitely skewing towards being more free and fun than strictly abt bg-3 lately so I might make the full switch over soon… not that I won’t be posting abt Wyll (❤️💕💞🥰) but probably more of other games and interests too 🫶

Recently I haven't been able to find any non-split Tumblr APKs. (which are required to patch with ReVanced currently)

The last version to have a normal APK was 35.3.0.110 [APKMirror]

I tried merging the latest version with some random GitHub project, which seemed to work until ReVanced threw an error trying to resign it.

It doesn't really matter if I'm using the latest version of Tumblr today, but I'm concerned about what might happen when they make breaking changes or purposefully block older versions. (Or make another April Fools event. [I don't want to miss any of those :) ]).

Also, the split APKs I got from APKMirror and APKPure were entirely different for some reason. (APKMirror had a lot of languages, whereas APKPure just didn't). (Also, they were different file extensions for a zip. That's expected though).
