SO, i plan to read all the dragon age books and comics while waiting for the dread wolf!

I’ve started on The stolen throne, but I’m wondering what order they should be read? Order of release, or something else? This is kinda the idea I’ve gotten from the web, but a few comics are a little harder to figure out. :’) Am I missing something? Does some of them not matter at all or are unrelated?

I’m really excited tho, and plan to do some book Fanart when I’m not reading huehuehue. Im also not much of a reader to begin with, so this will be quite a ride!

The recent oc question game about your boy (Gex):

2, 3, 19, 31, 34

Thank you for the ask anon!

2. what sort of music would they like? have you thought about what genres or bands do they lean towards? do they have a favorite song?

since this is medieval fantasyland the options are more limited. I think favourite? I'm sticking with my secret art snob Gex headcanon and going with his favourite type of music being like fantasy equivalent of Bach or Beethoven. favourite song I'm gonna say is probably one that they heard in a tavern while just starting out on the road (probably while traveling with Nim?) and was roped into singing along to. just the memory of being able to sing along and be a part of something.

3. weapon of choice? any particular reason they chose their weapon?

Rogue dnd5e means that yeah he used a rapier just kinda because it's the best weapon for a dex based class? not a very fun answer sorry fjadklsj. he did get a magical rapier from the lesbian pirate which was cool! but now he uses his claws >:)

19. are they quick to anger? what sets them off?

no they are not quick to anger. they are a coward and they don't like making people upset lfdajs. what sets them off is feeling helpless and out of control (like pre-Rhiann confrontation) or when one of his friends is becoming upset (like during the scene when Balthazar taught him to fly).

31. do they like receiving gifts? giving gifts? what is their ideal gift?

I think Gex likes recieving gifts theoretically but in practice just bluescreens when he is given something and has no idea how to respond. If he is given a gift that's clear the giver put a lot of work into he would probably start crying. yeah his self worth is not. great. he likes giving gifts though! he finds it quite stressful to do, especially on a short notice or if he's busy, but he likes being able to give things to people that help them and make them feel nice. His ideal gift? honestly anything where it's clear the giver put a lot of thought/effort into.

34 is answered here!

[ichigoginchan]

my month-late PAX West post (& a catalogue of some things I saw and did and bought in September / late August)

PAX West was very fun this year. It was my first ever PAX and it was my first convention at all in maybe a decade. Any excuse to see friends is a good one & I love hanging out with the RTVS crew whenever I have the time and money to travel. ^_^ I even got to see some friends I've never seen in person before!!! (Thank you to Jill and Evan for the "Petal Crash" pin & thank you to Taxi for stealing my name tag by accident.)

I am very shy, and I have very severe social anxiety that causes me a lot of problems in my day-to-day life, so I almost didn't go to the RTVS meetup. People there were very sweet, though, so I'm glad I did. It feels very heartening to have people come up to you and tell you what the things you've made have meant to them. It was very hard to not cry. LOL

If you stopped by to say hi, thank you very much. I've been thinking about it through all of September and smiling a lot about it. ^_^

The rest of this post is largely pics of things Puzz and I picked up for ourselves. (And a little bit of talking about some other things we did.) I thought it would be fun to catalogue them. I tend to be a little thrifty, so I got to splurge on my wife. LOL

These were mostly things we got for Puzz because I didn't want to worry about lugging things home in a suitcase. But she keeps telling me they're our things, which makes me smile every time I think about it. Some of the pins are for me. I'd like to put them on my backpack... Hopefully they don't fall off. Jackie and Dodogama are friends.

The "Chicory" bag is a bit of a funny story. Puzz and I saw the "Beastieball" booth in the corner of the indie section. Very fun demo. Very cute booth. They have cool merch! I thought I saw Lena Raine working the booth, and I got really shy & nervous about making a poor impression, so I just kind of hid behind my partner. (I wish I had said hi, in retrospect... but we live and we learn...) So we just kind of shuffle off to the merch desk and talk to a very nice man there while we pick up some things. I work up the guts to say that I really like these games and that they mean a lot to me!! The guy says, well thank you, that means a lot to me and the team. Wow! Real swell guy, I'm thinking to myself. A day or two later Puzz and I are out to lunch with some friends and I just suddenly go eyes wide & mouth agape because I put two and two together in my head and realize Oh holy shit that was Greg Lobanov wasn't it. LOL

Puzz found a cheap copy of "999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors" for the DS at a retro game store's pop-up. They also had "A Bug's Life" for Game Boy Colour and a strategy guide for "Gex 3", both of which I wish I had picked up.

Mr. Basculin was a gift from Jake. Good news! Mr. Basculin is still alive.

This is all stuff that was given to me as gifts. (Aside from the con badges. They make you pay for those.) You've probably already seen the Bibi that Jake made me. "Chicken Run" was also from him. "Zapper" was from Puzz and the Gumby game (& the Bad Boe sticker) was from Scorpy. These games fuckin suck asshole!!!!!!!!! I'm obsessed with them & I'll cherish them forever. I also got a little rock and a human dog keychain.

I think Scorpy said a fan gave this to him at PAX East to pass to me eventually. I'm having a hard time reading the @ on it, but on the off-chance you see this: thank you so much. Every time I think about it I get a little teary-eyed. I want to get myself a little picture frame for it. (This is the first time someone's given me fanart like this before, and it made me very emotional. LOL)

Puzz and I only got 2-day passes for PAX, so we spent the rest of our time in Seattle hanging out with friends and seeing the sights. I don't feel like digging all the photos out right now, but we went to a really fucking nice jazz club (Dimitriou's Jazz Alley - great ambience, really good food, we saw Keiko Matsui live which was life-changing), we visited MoPOP (I hadn't been in years! It was alright! Puzz had some capital-t Thoughts about the whole place which was fun to listen to!), we rode the trains, I got a big bag of Dicks, we walked around downtown. There was this really nice coffee shop that I keep having dreams about, so I hope I can go back to Seattle soon. (Or at least eventually, next year.) Then we went to Portland for a day to say hi to a friend because the state was nearby.

Then we went back to Puzz's place in California. Then there was a major heatwave & a bunch of wildfires nearby... So we didn't have the chance to get out much in September. But that's okay. We've both been tired lately & I think we both badly needed some dedicated Not Doing Things time. It's just a shame that it was enforced by Dangerous Weather Conditions.

We got to visit some local friends and I got to try out more Bog-Standard Mediocre American Food. (Dunkin Donuts is just Tim Hortons. Olive Garden is kind of scary but the salad was really good and the breadsticks were fine. I had a middling hamburger from Jack In The Box tonight. Their milkshake was very good. I'm sure I'm forgetting others.) I went to a Macy's for the first time and the layout of the store made me have a panic attack. We went for nice walks and saw lots of nice critters and plants. I got to swim! I watched a mediocre PlayStation presentation! I turned 30 years old! Puzz took me to a very fancy and really nice Italian place for my birthday, in case you were worried that I was only eating garbage here. LOL

We got a lot of books.

Maybe too many. Also a Miles Davis vinyl for myself & some Gunpla as an early birthday gift for Puzz. And also the cookbook was a gift from family. But I'm very excited to tuck into more of these, hopefully soon. Some were for me and some were for Puzz but knowing us we're going to go "hey, I liked this one, you check it out" or "hey, I didn't like this one, but maybe you will" for a lot of them. I'm gonna start with "Annihilation" and the game essays book. ("House of Leaves" is a second copy for us, because my copy was originally Puzz's and I wanted them to be able to read it too.) I don't have room in my bags for much more than what I came here with, so we're gonna ship some of the books to each other when we're done reading.

It's been a very nice month... I feel very thankful to have a life full of love like this. I don't think I have anything else to add to this post! Thanks for reading.

Pac: Where is Fit?

Bad: Oh, he may not be here. I think he's taking a week off.

Tubbo: Nooooo! Nooooooo.

Pac: [Sadly] ...You know, that's okay... No problem... I wasn't even thinking about Fit, you know. I'm just going to grab some more popcorn and cry in the corner. Be right back.

Tubbo: Aw... dittums, nooo....

Pac: It's ok, guys...

Bad: [In a loud whisper] Hey, while Pac's away, you wanna hear some fofoca? [Gossip]

Tubbo: Always! Hit me.

Bad: Do you know that Pac has a crush on Fit?

Tubbo: Yes, it has been incredibly obvious.

Bad: They keep calling each other roommates! What do you think that means?

Tubbo: It means that they're having sex.

Pac: Wait wait wait wait- guys!

Tubbo: Yeah, Geggs, we got loads of Geggs.

Bad: Yeah, we were talking about Geggs.

Pac: Yeah yeah, ok yeah.

Bad: Of course. "Gegg."

Transcript:

Jens (Murph): Alright. Yeah, I guess I'll talk to you later or whatever. Just send us whatever we need from this one. I don't care-- Gex (Caldwell): Wait, I might die! Onyx (Emily): Tell him you got a text from me and I invited you on a-- (laughs) Jens: I got a text from Onyx and she invited me on a… you invited me on what? [Pause as Emily laughs] What did you invite me on? Onyx. [Emily continues to laugh.] What did you invite me on? Caldwell: What did you invite him on? Onyx, barely able to speak through laughter: A helicopter ride. [Caldwell laughs. Emily continues to laugh as the others talk.] Jens, deadpan: I just got a text from Onyx and she invited me on a helicopter ride. Nyack (Jake): Wow. Gex: Oooh! You're making it hard to be a chaste lizard out here! Nyack: Yeah, we can-- we can put in a good word for you if you want, you just have to say it. You just have to say "I like Onyx." Jens: Yeah, what are your-- what are your, I guess, thoughts on Onyx. Or whatever. Nyack: Not that she's interested in you, she's actually clearly not. Jens: Yeah. She's actually-- yeah. Nyack: She's not very available. You will have to-- you will have to beg. Caldwell: Um, Gex is gonna do a Charisma save. Onyx, do you wanna do a persuasion? Emily: (tearful from laughter) Yeah. [Dice roll] Oh my god. Um, that's 17+11. Murph: 28. Emily: I got a 28. [Caldwell laughs.] Murph: So hot. Gex: Well I guess-- Caldwell: You see, uh, Gex, still on this like, massive carphone, this like, massive 90's carphone, is thinking about it as, uh, Jerry Sheldonfeld and Cosmo Creldon talk to each other in the background. [Emotional piano.] Gex: You know I've just been… so hung up on trying to get back with Agent Xtra, I haven't really thought about it, but… I mean, I'm a well-to-do lizard. I'm-- I'm young, hung, and fulla tongue. And I feel like-- [Emily cackles.] Nyack: Oh my god. Murph: Jens hangs up. Jens hangs up. [Caldwell cackles.] Emily: Onyx-- Onyx squirts her skirt. [Murph and Caldwell cackle. Emily and Caldwell keep laughing in the background as the others continue.] Nyack: I'm sorry, the-- like, the-- that was-- Murph: Jens vomits into the TV. Just… Nyack: That was uncouth. That was foul. I-- I'm gonna be sick. Murph, laughing: Squirts? Into her skirt? Nyack: Why did he say that? Murph, laughing: What the fuck? [Pause, as everyone laughs] What the? Caldwell: I'm-- I'm drooling. Nyack: Like two seconds ago he wasn't over his ex? Caldwell: Onyx, he saw something in that moment. Murph: Jens dives into a random TV. [Caldwell: Okay.] And I truly mean a random one. Literally whatever one is next to us.

I had a gex dream about you. we were hanging out and then a ghost showed up and some gecko was like “this is like being at henry kissinger’s spotify wrapped reveal”

That was actually the real gex talking to you

[soldier-tf2-america]

This is unrelated to the marriage💍 stuff

I have a question

What does “say gex” mean?

I saw your daughter (my sister?) talking about it

I’m confused

IT MEANS NOTHING PYRO IT MEANS NOTHING UH- UH- GO ASK ENGIE ABOUT IT- IT MEANS NOTHING

[molsno]

I wish I had money so I could go to retro game stores more often. I get so autistic in them because I could spend hours inside just browsing and talking about the games I find. I don't even have to buy anything to have fun but it's nice to be able to

then again I don't even necessarily have to have a lot of money to buy something. yeah retro games are expensive but that's only if you're looking for either really popular AAA stuff or very obscure games that were rare even when they were new. but like, I bought crazy frog arcade racer for ps2 for $5 even though I didn't have a ps2 at the time, and just recently I bought gex: enter the gecko for $11. sometimes it really is worth it to buy something just because it would be funny
