I don't think many AA stans realise that Larian was never presenting us with a dark kinky light BDSM romance in AA ending.

The whole 'degrading' kneeling scene was showing to the player from the very beginning that it's not going to be that, and now Larian doubled down with even more show rather than tell with the demeaning kisses (because clearly telling wasn't enough).

AA stans feel betrayed and offended... but the only reason they feel this way is because whatever fantasies they made up in their heads clash with Larian's story-telling...but it's not Larian's fault.

As BW said, AA ending is the players' failure to see the character beyond their fantasies and they (BW) were correct. However, it's not just in terms of sexual fantasies but also in terms of understanding the character in general.

These people went into the game to romance a supposedly evil incarnate spawn of Satan sexy looking vampire, the reasons for his behaviour be damned, and now they're dumbfounded that they're being "punished" in the AA ending.

Might come as shocking to you, but being an evil power-couple was never the theme or end goal with Astarion.

It was dealing with trauma.

Trauma with two diverging paths and what position you as the player have in resolving it. It was not about fixing or moralizing.

AA ending should serve as a cautionary tale. Game-wise, Astarion not only takes Cazador's place but turns his love interest into something that he hated throughout the entire game. It should be cautionary to anyone who is trying to help a traumatized person in real life. You cannot be the yesman and an enabler because both people involved will be worse-off.

AA ending is the easy way out, sticking your head in the sand...(if you have no options or nobody really helping you) instead of addressing the problem head-on. This is not your dark evil power-couple romance with a powerful and confident dom daddy.

#i haven't posted on the topic for a while #here i am once again lol #not gonna tag it though #btw we should start a new challenge : AA stans stop saying AA is the REAL Astarion #half of them actually want spawnAstarion with AA's money

@scimagic Uhhh made this because I just think they’re dynamic is neat. Also completely agree with the Puzzle headcanon super fun silly and very on point. As we speak he is clinging for his dear life :))

I really enjoy seeing the illustrated storyline you have unfolding between the two and figured it would be nice to see this motorcycle sequence in motion. So tadaa here it is! In animated form! Now your obligated to make a full length written novel in-depth about their relationship /j

Sincerely though thanks for the creative inspiration and keep on being a swagger artist 👍✨

#Whoops seems my hand slipped—silly me these aren’t my characters! Here’s your lovelies back sorry for abducting them momentarily :))#tagging people is scary I’m just going to hide under a rock after this gets posted jksjsksp #my brain goes ‘teehee my genius hidden evil scheme no one saw coming—yess I shall gift lovely artists fanart when they least expect it’ >:3 #and then once it’s actally time to post my brain goes crisis mode and implodes #like why am I drawing attention to myself huh? why can’t I scutter off as a masked anonymous figure into the night #oh well at least we made a dope ass motorcycle animation hell yea. Hopefully you like it <3 #honestly in retrospect kinda surprises me that Puzzles doesn’t have a helmet…pretty sure his screen is durable but not THAT durable #one oopsie woopsie and that thing will get cracked again <<#but then again where are you ever going to find a rectangle screen shaped helmet to fit his head jksjsksp #there’s simply no winning #oh uh also incase anyone wishes to know the logistics of making this….didn’t take too long just three days! Pretty speedy :3 #ok now this is the part where I twiddle my hands and await results lol #…..also just occurred to me the motorcycle model should’ve been a Harley or Suzuki I’m just dumb and forgor #even tho it was specified in the tags of the initial post I referenced heavily #like I was staring at the art for reference + online material but that useful tidbit of tag information flew over my head :P #sorry all you get is the generic motorcycle model….mission failed better luck next time *dies*#hplonesome art #not my characters #gift for someone else #do I even need to specify that in tags NO CLUE I’M PARANOID/j

my 2nd request !! The skeleton brothers wearing matching pajamas :D

Day 13 - The Friendship Brothers

#My art #Requestober #UT #Handplates #Papyrus #Sans #Pokemon #So how matching are we talking here - are we talking Bear and Lion onesies or are we talking Identical #Obviously I have already chosen but lol #This isn't just me being Pokemon-brained! Mostly! Lol #This is me once again pulling from something smol and I have/do/be haha #It's been established that I am the Sans of our duo for a long long while now #And I have had an Umbreon kigurimi for a similarly long while! It's very comfy and silly and has been a Halloween costume for a few years #Well smol finally got one to match me <3 Espeon is her all-time favourite Pokemon as well not just of the Eevees but generally #So now we match And she gets a thing of her fave! Best of all worlds! :D #This is just a realistic image of the two of us lol we're just like them they're just like us haha #Fun funny tho - my kigurumi is just like - abstractly an Umbreon y'know? Like I Am The Umbreon my face is creature #All the Espeon kigurumi seem to have a face on them for some reason?? There are matching Umbreon faces too but like #There's no option Not to be Wearing An Espeon lol why #I do not know but I Will subject the Skelebros to it and make a pun about it lol #I had to brainstorm for it! And I got the groan-sign-off of my Papyrus hehe <3 #Kigurumi have such goofy proportions haha #No one will ever guess how short my legs actually are under here! Lol #Very partial to how Sans' legs droop considerably more than Papyrus' hehe <3 <3 #Had a lot of fun with his tiny hands here as well haha ♪ Good old babyhands Sans ♥

To be honest to me it's not really that big of a deal if someone just genuinely likes TSH's atmosphere and aesthetic and quotes and whatnot. Parts of it are purposefully written to be alluring and impactful and pretty, and I think you're allowed to find them so without it meaning you missed the warning about not idolizing people in pursuit of pointless and shallow ideals. You can be aware of the message and critique it wanted to convey while also just enjoying the book itself from time to time lol. If someone says they have a morbid longing for the picturesque or whatever chances are they know they're not supposed to take it literally or base their whole personality on it, they just think the cool quote is cool. And actually I think letting yourself indulge in Richard's perspective makes you realize even better how skewed it really is and it's the best way to experience TSH

#probably not tagging this lol i don't like arguing #but i just wanted to give my two cents on this once and then never again #sure if you start completely disregarding the characters' wrongdoings #and idolize and endorse the kind of lifestyle and views they had #that's what completely missing the point is #but i'm positive 99% of the fandom isn't like this and got it lol #actually you know what i AM tagging this here goes #tsh #the secret history #donna tartt #🌻

wolbert week day 1: a new life

a miracle is the sound of reality buckling

#wolbertweek2024 #warrior of light #Ardbert #fanart #speedpaint #i draw sometimes #Final Fantasy XIV #unsyncing seat of sacrifice once again like mr elidibus sir do not aggro on me i am just inspecting the floors over here #anyway there are a couple of other minor tweaks in this au for how the shb patches go down #but basically seat of sacrifice sorta doesn't happen. or at least elidibus doesn't transform & ardbert's body isn't destroyed in the proces #1) wol with ardbert's soul in tow is very op (pls nerf)#2) he kinda takes elidibus by surprise there because he hasn't actually done a very good showing for him before lol #+ elidibus has seen how he usually never speaks up nvm abt raising his voice #but went out of his way to demand ardbert's body back & so he very clearly has wol rattled and is very smug abt it #and there's 0 hesitation on wol's part this time bc he feels bolstered by his promise to cylva to put an end to this #try summoning now when you're too busy catching these hands #THERE'S MORE but by god did these tags get away from me #anyway hello how are you all doing

Transandrophobia truthers are so damn racist and white oh my fucking god y'all actually piss me the fuck off every time you tokenize Black and brown men for your stupid as fuck "mra but make it trans-inclusive" ideology created by a creepy guy with a corrective rape fetish(something I'll never let up on for as long as I live, btw). If I ever see another one of y'all say "Black and brown men face discrimination because they're seen as overly masculine and that's why masculinity in men is oppressed in this society" I will literally kill myself. Stop using Black and brown men as brownie points for your bullshit arguments about misandry being real when you don't have the slightest idea how racialized oppression works. White boys are so annoying and dumb istfg.

@punkeropercyjackson @punknicodiangelo @pinkpinkstarlet

#like none of the dumbasses i've seen say this shit have been poc and HEY IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT #because actual black and brown men know that their oppression is not based around masculinity but around RACISM #because if it was about masculinity then feminine men of color wouldn't face the same oppression and would be privileged over them which #is not true #it's also worth mentioning that black and brown WOMEN also face these same issues of being seen as more aggressive/strong/violent and thus #more dangerous even more so than our male counterparts so it's not an 'anti-masculinity' issue it's a fucking racism issue #plus once again feminine women of color also face these stereotypes #when we are masculinized even while presenting as feminine that isn't anti-masculinity you dumb fucks that's just racialized misogyny #and misogynoir #it is incredibly telling that white transmascs who use this argument never even mention women of color and that's because if they did then #their entire headass argument would fall apart because it's not about MASCULINITY being oppressed it's about RACISM(which newsflash women #experience too) and masculinity being assumed of black and brown people(women included) is just another facet of the white supremacist #gender binary not any form of masculinity being 'oppressed' in this society lol #don't even get me started on how these men misuse butch lesbians in their arguments as well and act like they are man-lite ugh #sorry but as a black woman i am officially pissed off rbn #like y'all love to spout 'intersectionality' and shit maybe *throws book at them* ACTUALLY READ UP AND LEARN WHAT THE FUCK IT MEANS #stop misusing words created by black women to prove that men are an oppressed group on god you mfers are annoying #anyway the lesson learned here is that white trans men are just as insipid and racist as their cis counterparts #pos the lot of you #racism #transandrophobia is not real #op

Hey y'all! Do you have any patterns/resources/advice on sewing corsets/bodices/stays/stuff like that? I have once again reached the "wow I hate bras and bra shopping" point of the "having to replace clothes as they wear out" cycle

#the person behind the yarn #part of my problem is that I am an optical illusion of a human person #by which I mean all my measurement ratios are weird but none of it is visible #fun fact! my head circumference is the exact same as my cousin who is more than a foot taller than me #he is a wall of muscle! very large guy and our heads are the same size. They don't look it though!#the relevant weird measurements here are that I have a fairly small band size #but I can't actually wear my correct band size #because my torso is too narrow from side to side #I've got a barrel chest in miniature lol and the large cup size Does Not Help #so if I wear my correct band size the cups are too wide from side to side and dig into my armpits and/or ribs #which means I have to size down and use a back extender thing and have the straps always falling down #and at this point I just want something that won't mess up my back or my ribs #because once you dislocate a rib once you are more likely to dislocate it again. which is just lovely.
