#he's an angry elf

[bretzkysbs]

Will Ferrell recently told People magazine that some of his fans were not too thrilled with his decision to revive Buddy the Elf as a grizzled drinker and smoker. The comedian went viral on social media after attending the Dec. 29 hockey game between the Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers in his Buddy the Elf costume, only he added a beer in hand and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

“Some people were not too happy, though,” Ferrell told the magazine. “They thought, ‘Please be true to the character. That was not cool.’ Buddy was having a bad day. Yeah. He just went to a hockey game, smoked cigarettes and drank beer.”

Ferrell’s appearance at the Kings game initially went viral due to FanDuel Sports Network broadcaster Carrlyn Bathe, who reported live from the game and spoke to Buddy. The character told her at the time that “it was a tough holiday season” and “he’s looking for a Kings win.��� Social media had a field day with Ferrell’s unexpected revival of one of his most iconic characters. “Elf,” released in 2003, earned over $220 million at the worldwide box office and remains a Christmas classic.

Ferrell appeared on Jason and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast earlier this month to explain the rationale behind his decision to bring Buddy back in such an unexpected way.

“Buddy the Elf got laid off, I think, from the North Pole,” Ferrell joked. “He’s having a pull from his beer, smoking a cig. … I get these weird ideas every now and then. We’re season ticket holders for the L.A. Kings. We have seats right on the glass. I told my wife, ‘Over the break, it would be funny if I just got a Buddy the Elf costume and didn’t shave for a week, and I’m just sitting there with a candy cigarette and I’m just gonna sit there for a period and see how people react.’”

“The reaction was insane!” Ferrell added. “Like, what is he doing? Is he promoting something? But occasionally I just like to do weird things like that just to stir it up.”

where's my failed sacrifice alby?

where's my crazy alby who everyone trusts anyway?

where's my problematic alby that tried to burn down the map room to keep them from escaping?

where's my alby that sacrificed himself not only for his friends, but because he would rather die than go into the world he saw after being stung?

ugh. they did him dirty.

pip... pippa ingellvar... never posted her final look.... look at my queen

[palespawn]

thinking about how astarion spits out cazador's name everytime he mentions it, like understandably bitter that he has to speak it at all and thus breathe life into him, but maybe he and the other spawn were only ever allowed to address him as 'master' and actually saying his name aloud might have felt like breaking a rule at first. it's fraught with fear but in the same vein it's also liberating to now have the ability to say it at all, so everytime he does mention his name it's like so many emotions poured into a single word

hey im back again barely a few days later and like.... okay so Astarion is Fucked Up™. But also, to be further Fucked Up (depending on whether you want this to be official canon or just leave it as old content Larian left out) Astarion was a fucking MAGISTRATE of Baldur's Gate pre-vampirism?

Depending on how you want to interpret this, that can mean a number of things. One: He was the equivalent of a sitting judge in Baldur's Gate courts. Astarion was an elf of 39 WITH THE POLITICAL AND JUDICIAL HEFT OF THE CITY AT HIS NIMBLE FINGERTIPS. Two: He was the equivalent of a prosecutor in Baldur's Gate courts. That means he was 39 and a goddamn lawyer. Three: He was the equivalent of a specialized judge, a "judge of inquiry." Four: He was a state/city-appointed official that handled population information, public registers, and acted as a public notary.

Either way, it's hard to listen to this possible-backstory of his life pre-turning and not go "Cazador..... You are a disgusting piece of shit. Absolutely vile. But also..... you turned a perfectly smart and possibly very able-bodied city official with political power into a goddamn enslaved prostitute? Other than the fact you are clearly a sick son of a bitch, you are also an fucking moron for letting that kind of talent rot."

I mean, Astarion as you meet him is not stupid. He's honestly worryingly smart and perceptive (generally, if the dice rolls are kind), and his ability to hoodwink people into thinking he's just some shallow vapid bloodsucker is quite the intricate little disguise. It's been his defense mechanism for over 200 years, but it might also hint at the fact he's generally quite good at running verbal circles around people. It deeply upsets me to think this elf had a very impressive career for an elf of 39 (not even out of immaturity by elven standards! Not even 100! He still had his elf baby name!) and was debased so fucking horribly. And sure, there's some other content attached to this possible-backstory. Hints that he was a "morally-questionable" magistrate, willing to take bribes or look the other way in some cases. But that doesn't mean he didn't have to learn ALL OF THE LAW required to have his city-appointed station, ALL OF THE EDUCATION. The man had to have been from a reasonably reputable background to even afford that kind of education. Higher class, certainly. The way he speaks is enough of an indication.

Idk i'm ranting. Lowkey more reasons to slaughter Cazador; fucker ruined the life of a goddamn Magistrate elf who was insanely young to have such a high position in city government. (if you vibe with that discarded canon. I personally think it fits him well and just lump it in anyway)
