my gun-loving, car guy, "i'm the straightest man i know" brother who just finished baldur's gate 3 talking about astarion:

#astarion #baldur's gate 3 #we had a long conversation about the end of the game #mostly about astarion and karlach #he says he took multiple days to decide how to handle karlach's ending :`D #but i was just so amused by his reaction to astarion lol #he's like ''i loved my paladin's bromance with astarion! he's my best friend!'#and i was like ''oh that's nice i never even got out of neutral approval with him when i was playing paladin''#and he was like ''you can check characters' approval? o.O''#so while astarion was def his paladin's best friend‚ i'm not so sure his paladin was astarion's best friend if you know what i mean 😂#he was also unhappy that his character just let astarion run off at the end without trying to follow him and make sure he was okay #and at gale for making a snarky comment about it #he was like ''i should have let him ascend 😭''#''if this was real life i wouldn't just let my friend run off like that!''#also: ftr despite my facetious description above let it be known that my brother is the kindest most accepting brother a dyke could ask for #he just also has a lot of stereotypical ''straight guy'' interests

will theo ever be happy

Maybe in another life.

#theo #jack #confusing and alienating everyone who only followed me after i started drawing furries by referencing my old nonfurry character dynamics #but this got me thinking about theo's only happy endings and how they all involve jack...#who i'm not drawing right now. oops. sorry fella #oh theo... see what happens when you're separated from your emotional support tramp #you start committing crimes against nature and people get worried about you #real answer: probably not in amaranthine but who knows WE'RE NO WHERE NEAR FIGURING OUT AN ENDING HAHA #i could ramble for another thousand paragraphs about why he probably won't be happy in amaranthine but to summarize:#1. trying to do crimes against nature for insane reasons #2. only “positive” relationship is an evil parasite who is using and manipulating him #3. only person he talks to about his problems is a dead body #4. no jack to keep him stable... so far. i want to add him to the story but that's a long way off #but if you want to make A version of theo happy you can play our game Wishbone (once it's done...). he's in it because of course he is.#my draws #asks

dom from the athletic dropped a great article today on his assessment of the leafs play style and why it's resulting in loss after loss. asking your best offensive players to lean into their defensive roles more instead of letting them do what they do best obviously won't get you where you need to be, but it's 100% more a failure with the playoff mindset and coaching than with the individual player's abilities. it was an interesting read, and i agree with so much of it. responsibility really does fall to mitch and auston in so many ways bc they have both developed their offensive and defensive games, but leaning on playing safe just isn't working. run it back with a better dcore and let them be the harlem globetrotters they normally are PLEASE.

#toronto maple leafs #hockeystats #or analysis i guess lol #i agree w it all tbh #auston matthews #mitch marner #its why willy Looks better offensively in the playoffs but his differentials still arent good lol #he cant be asked to play defensively safe bc thats not part of his game ever lol #but there needs to be a balance bc our two best players are having to sacrifice their own offense #to make up for the rest of the teams lack of defense n thats bfdnjd like #lets get a different philosophy n some real nhl dmen bfmsjd #i get WHY its a style they tried. i dont get sticking with it this long when its not working but #this whole article is just confirmation bias to like BAndnd EXACTLY THANK U !

Dream brother with your tears scattered round the world

Dont be like the one who made me so old

Dont be like the one who left behind his name

Cause they’re waiting for you like I waited for mine

And nobody ever came

#HE MAKES ME SO SAD #Anyway I did some research about smallpox for this and holy fuck I did not know it was like… the most terrifying looking thing????#like it looks so painful? save ur self the google — I promise its scary #additionally!!! Jean would realistically have issues with sight—I depicted these as Corneal Leukoma #I just….. its like he got the messier more ‘unattractive’ version of Kim’s easily aesthetized eyesight problems #(I am speaking from a Jean informed perspective to be clear #like Kim’s eyesight issues and how it makes Kim feel is also real and serious but like lets play dolls from a Jean perspective for now)#and im just thinking about how im sure Harry was Jean’s eye now and again and AHHHHHHH do u all see the cycles and patterns and circles?????#Also his in game portrait captures a sadness and longing in his eyes that I can only dream of touching #I tried very hard anyway #I cried several times drawing this bc I was listening to my Jean playlist #which is the saddest playlist I ever did make #oh wait fuck real tags:#disco elysium #jean vicquemare #jean heron vicquemare #my art #alexa play i bet on losing dogs by mitski

redrawing my favorite gba chain of memories scenes with my own interpretations part 1(?):

“You’re thinking about me… You’re afraid of the darkness I command.”

#beep boop you want fries with that #kingdom hearts #riku #ansem #GBA CHAIN OF MEMORIES IS SO GOOD. please play it over the remake im begging. it also plays a lot better too.#every ansem scene is better in gba com because i dont have to listen to richard epcar attempt to be intimidating #they altered so many scenes in the remake and a lot of the changes suck !! just straight up !! i will never forgive them for changing #this scene and the previous lexaeus scenes. like why did they have riku get possessed for a second only for the next cutscene to #literally be about riku trying not to get possessed. like that makes no sense. its just cheap shock value and just treating lexaeus #like shit. at least he mentioned zexion. ok if i knew how to do rom hacks i could literally change the dialogue myself to mention zexion.#ok sorry for complaining. uhhh #the composition is clearly ripped off from the owl house. sorry. season 1 belos scene.#and the background is just the original gba bg of the scene but blurred to look less pixelated #sorry the anatomy sucks. i know rikus arms shouldnt be that long but too late. kms.#this scene is so good because augh. this is the first time in this game we come face to face with the real ansem. not just diz pretending #to be him to just shove down ‘darkness bad’ down his throat. this is why mickey comes to save him in this scene. because riku is in #real danger here. thats also the reason why mickey sends his power again when riku is being dangled like a puppet BECAUSE ANSEM WAS THERE #FOR REAL THIS TIME. anyway yeah i know ansem’s sprite doesn’t appear when he says that but the portrait is a silhouette so i went #weh. why not !!#anyway im obsessed w/ cryptid ansem. ghost inhabitanting a fallen kingdom. continuing the fucked up experiments like if they never stopped #OK IVE ALREADY RAMBLED ENOUGH AND THIS SHIT IS GOING INTO RE:KH TERRITORY. (hunter voice) BYEEEEEEE

#bell.txt #bell.mp4 #.mp4 #cellbit #rounding out my alien marathon by watching cellbit play supposedly the best game #we'll have to see every time ive watched someone play before i've been bored out of my mind #but i wasn't in the midst of an alien obsession then so #also the person who called him jimmy neutron. iconic so real #that hair was crazy he had it for so long he looks like a cockatoo #cellbit alien isolation

Carlo don't look at him he'll seduce you!

Lover boy Romeo's antics don't work on Carlo. However, the other way around is another story...

#Lies of P #Lies of P Spoilers #Carmeo #THIS WAS SO FUNNY I COULDN'T HELP BUT DOODLE SOMETHING REAL QUICK FOR IT #Carlo has nerves of pure steel (on the outside) LMAO if they both had to play the long game of teasing each other #Romeo would give in almost a minute in LOL he's hopelessly in love but he doesn't mind it at all #THANK YOU FOR THIS I WAS SO SURPRISED TO GET SOMETHING LIKE THIS LOL #I love them with my heart and soul

Actually, Guzman is his spanish name.

OH YEAH some other folks pointed that out too, makes sense since it's an irl Spanish name (probably why I see it around a lot!) 😳

(normally it's a surname, I've only seen it used as a first name once in a blue moon -- but also in the pokemon world it's pretty clear that naming conventions aren't the same lol)

#oceandi answers #radicalldreamer #still harder for me to connect it to him since I played all the games in english -- it's only one letter away but it still feels just a #smidge closer than 'bromley'#frankly I hope someone out there calls him 'bromley guzmán' as his full name. and he just GOES by 'guzma' bc it sounds cool #that'd be neat #tag rambling #rambling ahead ->#speaking of guzma I spent a long time talking about aus with some friends and well. I think his dad's from johto skdjfksjdfskjd #iirc that was a HC back in the day amongst a small group of guz enjoyers.... but I think it makes SO much sense for gene's guz specifical #ly bc listen . hear me out okay he somehow knew about the bug trainers' convention and he wanted to go and usu'ally they #hold it in JOHTO. he's never won a gold medal for BATTLE but got the dawn stone as his first ever victory -- guess what region you can #get a dawn stone from in a competition that's based on more than just battling? YEAH -- JOHTO BUG CATCHING CONTEST BABEYYY #(hgss edition)#TWO of his main team are johto pokemon #he moved from melemele island to ula'ula where malie city/garden are -- inspired by johto and even including a johto-style gym #(I mean yeah he STAYED bc po town had a sudden amount of free real estate but why did he GO THERE in the FIRST place to join the #proto-Team Skull.)#though ig if he hates his dad maybe his dad's Not from johto and is from paldea instead ('rents could've been inspired by the name guzmán #and just wanted to make it sound more unique lol)#but either way he totally used to go to johto with his dad which is where he won a bug catching contest with his pinsir.#and then started winning battles there but always getting second/third place in actual like. /competition/ competitions. so not #getting the grand prizes/money/stuff/fame that his dad wanted him to earn for the family #ANYWAYS.

i kept joking about fire emblem while reading danmaca

#idolish7 #danmaca #to be so real i wasn't expecting gaku and ryuu's characters to be at all involved with each other but. wow. chasewin #anyways danmaca would make a crazy good and absolutely awful to play fe game #like imagine with me here. arme. unique class whose class skill is like “deal 5 damage to all units in the adjacent 24 tiles every turn”#and also his stats suck and if he gets defeated it's a game over #and since you're probably playing from rebellion's pov most of the time you only get up to 4 playable characters at a time. including arme #who can't really fight. and also passively harms allies #anyways it's also really funny how similar arme is to corrin. like. sheltered and never allowed to leave the church/castle. good and pure i #a way that moves others. enamored with the outside world. the central point of the conflict. has a childhood friend who cares more about #their friendship than they do. can't control their powers and harms someone they care about due to it. the place they were raised is evil #been talking a lot about arme when he's not even in the post. really long tags ramble also. anyways

hey man. i'm just saying. why would we put inexperienced teenagers with over-inflated egos and obvious emotional issues into combat classes and make them claw their way to the top of their dorms and expect things to just run smoothly. who actually thought this

#the reason rsa doesn't have overblots is because they understand the joy and whimsy of life and friendship btw #LIKE. why is there no school counselor?? do you know how much time & resources & effort & TRAUMA we could have saved the students &#school from if ANYONE had reached out to riddle and was like 'hey are you alright i heard xyz and i wanted to let you know...' ESPECIALLY #since TREY LITERALLY TELLS US 'oh well here's the lowdown on her trauma this is Probably what is causing this'#or if someone sat down to tell leona 'hey! i'm rooting for you in ur magift(?) game! you're my fav player!!' AND LET HIM FEEL NOTICED #or if someone approached azul as an Equal to try to stop his plans. as a friend even. BEYOND A BUSINESS TRANSACTION #or if ANYBODY BUT ESPECIALLY KALIM was like 'jamil i think you should follow your passions and do something you enjoy today!!' or AT LEAST #let him know he was appreciated as a person NOT JUST FOR HIS WORK #'i know you're doing a lot today but i just wanted to thank you for how much Effort you put into this and..' etc etc etc #ERM.. IF ANYONE TREATED VIL LIKE A HUMAN BEING AND NOT A CELEBRITY??? or even 'hey i loved you in this film i was wondering if we could #do a play together or something..!!' AND LET HER TRY A TYPE OF CHARACTER SHE NEVER GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE. and sing her praises.#if anyone reached out to idia beyond a 'hey the teacher said to come to class'/'get out of your bed and come to our housewarden meeting'#or even. IF ORTHO HIMSELF was like. 'you know it's not your fault... you didn't cause all of this. not really' OR SOMETHING #or if malleus ever got to experience a small firsthand loss AND WAS COMFORTED THROUGH IT. not just quick fix via magic. not replacing. just #GRIEVING SOMETHING??????? and wasn't feared by literally everyone #um. maybe the real twisted part is that all of this tragedy was easily preventable if we had a support system in place.#but idk. twst is a highschool. there's no support in real high school either. i'd probably overblot too if i could ajdjrjfinfdndjd #twst #chatter #LONG RAMBLE SORRY #yes overblots are essential to the plot. but also. do you know how frustrating it is watching the blot build up and sitting in silence.#I'M SORRY IK IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WAS HAPPENING TO A GUY I JUST MET I WOULD PROBABLY NOT NOTICE.. but of it was my Friend or Housewarden..#I'D ASK BRO.... I'D ASK ... UGHHHHHUUUHHHH #not that anyone would notice if *I* was about to lose it tbh #speaks volumes about our society o think #OKAY NOW I'M DONE FOR REAL

He's catching me up on the characters and story arcs

artfight attack of Ugly Finder (featuring Daydream) for @bananasmores

#artfight #mlp #oc pony #one of my favorite things I drew this year both for artistic and sentimental reasons #the concept of this one is he's telling me all about baseball cause I don't follow sports #we're catching a game in Horseton #I'm learning so much!#(I actually have been to several baseball games in real life)#(my dad is a huge Angels fan and he took us to games sometimes when I was a kid)#(but it was a long time ago haha)#(I have fond memories of nachos and of these huge moths that seemed to congregate at the stadium)#ANYWAY I spent more time on this one than on anything else I drew this year #cause I wanted to have a whole crowd of ponies watching the game with us #appleshy is there of course cause we both love them #the guy next to us with the heart cutie mark thinks the purple guy in front of him is really pretty #someone is having a little too much to drink #the kids in the front are really excited about a cool play that just happened #they are making a big mess with peanuts #the Manehattan fan in the lower left is wondering if he should leave early #art

how it started:

how it's going:

#jitxt #my stuff #proud owner of This Specific Photo of Kimura Takuya #not to conflate the two bc my enjoyment of yagami and kimutaku are connected but separate #but obviously it would be bs to pretend i would've been interested in smap without playing judgment #truthfully i was eyeing a magazine too but i don't like investing money/shelf space into an interest unless i'm certain it's here to stay #unfortunately kimura takuya is still only a recent interest so. something small like this is fine #though i might have to get a bromide holder to keep him safe... i know there's an aus run business that sells idol goods like that...#anyway uhhhh first picture context for those who might've missed my lore earlier:#is that post-JE pre-LJ. i didn't really care for yagami. lmao.#i saw yagami fans and it seemed like they were having fun but i genuinely didn't understand their affection for him #and so getting through LJ and starting to like yagami i was like WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME #thinking “lol look at his lame flat ass (affectionate)” and then going “WHAT. WHAT WAS THAT.”#<- girl who realised that she sounded exactly like the yagami fans online #and so i wrestled with it for a while #and bc i was talking in my friend's discord server about my experience with LJ i have this golden screenshot #of the day i finally gave in. pretty sure i'd been looking at pictures of yagami and kimutaku for like an hour beforehand lol #AND MY MESSAGES AFTERWARDS WERE STILL DRIPPING WITH COPE ABOUT IT #said something along the lines of. that i thought they tried way too hard to make yagami seem cool #and then followed it by saying i felt genuinely upset thinking about how i could never be on a date with him #THE DENIAL IS CRAZY... JUST SAY YOU LIKE HIM #anyway i've long accepted my fate but it's still funny to think about #jichan is asked to leave the fandom for needing to play 2 games to start liking yagami #meanwhile my sister's opinion on him hasn't changed at all. “he's alright” <- real quote about yagami from days ago #anyhow that's one of the main reasons i'm playing JE. so i can reevaluate that game with fresh eyes/new perspective #excuse my impromptu storytime. but i guess this whole post is about landmark moments in Jichan Liking Yagami so it's not entirely unfitting #i like yagami takayuki 👍 and now i like kimura takuya too 👍#gave this photo a goodnight kiss last night btw

SUPREMELY frustrating that we found something actually really cool and intriguing and plot relevant in tonight's session but I'm still so constantly preoccupied with whether the DM is going to 100% kill us with sheer poor game design that I barely have enough brainspace left over to even enjoy it

#the first half of the session was a random-off-a-rolltable encounter that had nothing to do with anything and gave us literally nothing #and used up all our resources and took a REALLY long time because it was-- you guessed it! another deadly encounter for some reason!!#that's 100% of the encounters we've had so far!#and EXPLICITLY not related to what we were trying to investigate AND creatures that drop neither loot NOR BODIES #(two wil o the wisps and a water wierd)#we did a lot better in this encounter but it WAS deadly going off CR #and the point is now we've done just a short rest and THEN found the Plot Thing-- which our bard used up a bunch of resources to access #SO NOW IT'S LIKE. OKAY LOOK. I WANNA PLAY IN THIS SPACE BUT YOU KEEP TRYING TO KILL US WITH THINGS THAT AREN'T EVEN IMPORTANT #ARE YOU ABOUT TO WHOOPSIE-DOODLE US INTO A TPK ON ACCIDENT HERE???#like... it FEELS dangerous and A Bad Idea to engage with in a way that paradoxically SHOULD mean it's safer in a game like this #like-- okay if this was ACTUALLY as dangerous as it feels we wouldn't BE here on session six. does that make sense?#like when justin had us encounter a lich at level two in session three and I was immediately like OH okay he must have a plan here.#clearly some Scripted Plot is going to happen because there's no other reason he would put us up against a lich three sessions in. you know?#we started dying immediately and I was not afraid at all as a player because I trust justin wouldn't do that for no reason #or be so stupid to have that happen accidentally #THIS CAMPAIGN HOWEVER.... I DON'T TRUST LIKE THAT!!!#ARE WE GONNA FOR REAL PERMADIE BECAUSE YOU WASTED ALL OF OUR RESOURCES ON A RANDOM ENCOUNTER FIRST AND YOU DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT #ARE WE GONNA FOR REAL PERMADIE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T REALIZE WE COULD USE THE ITEM YOU GAVE US TO OPEN THIS DOOR WITH A 5TH LEVEL SPELL #I WANNA PLAY IN THE SPACE BUT IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THERE'S ROOM FOR RISKTAKING WHERE THE BAD OUTCOMES WOULDN'T BE UNFUN CATASTROPHIC #AAAAUUUUGHHH #[shaking him violently] what do you mean that random encounter was a deadly encounter again what do you MEEEAAN #'oh huh this fight's taking longer than I thought' THEIR AC IS 19 AND THEY'RE RESISTANT TO NONMAGIC DAMAGE??#THE WATER WIERD KEEPS DISAPPEARING BACK INTO THE POND WHERE IT'S INVISIBLE??? MY BROTHER IN CHRIST HOW DID YOU EXPECT US TO DO IT FAST #hhhhhHHHH!!!!#I SHOULD BE THINKING AND TALKING ABOUT HOW COOL THE SECOND HALF OF THE SESSION GENUINELY WAS BUT I'M TOO STRESSED TO HAVE FUN #cannot stress enough that I'm in a million campaigns and I never have this problem with other DMs or with Highly Dangerous DnD Situations #melliwyk's party are in mortal peril constantly and it's... reaching a point where it's tiresome for how badly it's wearing on the PCs #but it rarely feels unfun stressful as a player playing a game #I never feel like the DM is about to accidentally end the whole campaign by bumblefucking us into a TPK at random #you know? it's different. this just feels unmanageable
