#i am deeply insulted

[aq2003]

it IS weird that the general consensus on twelve is that peter capaldi is an excellent actor but his episodes are bad (esp in comparison to the general consensus on series 5 being that it's some of the best the show gets) bc i am overall really enjoying series 8, a lot more than the last 3

Bizzare statement, but Lolth and Corellon as depicted in Evermeet: Island of the Elves are divorce goals for many of the toxic relationships involving my characters.

It's a regular trashfire; my OG dysfunctional, abusive divine family from before the Bhaalspawn obsession kicked in. Throw the whole thing out! Partly why I enjoy using a BG2 tie-in to make my Durge a child of Bhaal and kind of the Seldarine for double the dysfunction, maybe.

Corellon is implied to be a tad obsessed with his gf (not even sure what's happening with Angharradh. 'I declare myself Queen and consort,' meanwhile Corellon's not even looking at her because he's busy looking at Lolth.)

Lolth finds him smothering. Vhaeraun and Eilistraee are neglected. Eilistraee is slightly better treated, but she's also noted to resemble her mother which uhhhh. Eilistraee is 'my child,' Vhaeraun is 'your mother's son.' And even Eilistraee's idea of optimism is; 'if I do something to please father (by recovering one of my mother's lost creations she made for him) maybe he'll divert his attention from obsessing over mother for five seconds and show me an iota of affection!'

Meanwhile Vhaeraun long ago gave up trying and hates them both, and his sister because at least Corellon likes her and Lolth doesn't seem to be physically and verbally abusing her.

"I am Angharradh," the new goddess said in a voice that was wind, moonlight, and music. "From the essence of the three greatest elven goddesses am I born. I am three and I am one—three to ensure that treachery never again enters the heart of a goddess of Arvandor, and one to stand at Corellon's side." Angharradh stooped and touched her hand lightly to Corellon's forehead, and again to his heart. The wounds closed, and the dark aura that clung to him seemed to part. The elf lord opened his eyes at last. They settled, not on the wondrous Angharradh, but upon Araushnee. His gaze held terrible heartbreak and equally strong resolve. "A great evil has entered our midst," he said in a dry whisper. "We must confront it now, for the sake of the Seldarine and all our elven children. The Council is convened. Let any who would, speak freely."

-

Corellon looked into Araushnee's malevolent crimson eyes, marvelling that he had never truly seen her before. She stood taut and defiant, her fists balled at her sides and her entire slender form quivering from the effort it took her to keep from striking out at him. Where did it come from—this rage, this terrible ambition? "What is this that you have done?" he said softly. "What could you possibly hope to gain by such actions? If there is anything that you lacked, you had only to speak and I would have given it to you with joy." "Exactly," snarled Araushnee. "You would have given. True power is not given, but seized! As to your 'great gifts,' I held in my hands the destinies of mortal beings—but was my own ever mine to command? You treated me like some cherished and cosseted possession, while standing in the way of everything I desired!" "Not so," Corellon told her gently. "Never did I show you such disrespect. I loved you." "And you will yet live to regret it," she hissed.

And then he - instead of killing her as everybody, including Lolth, knows would be the better option for the safety of everyone - banishes her. Fuck the wellbeing of your children - mortal and divine - as well as other mortals of Toril!

like why did they change where Vegeta was when Cell announced the cell games in the anime

why did they make this vegeta starting shit with yamcha instead of chillin in the lab with his family? why did they take Bulma out of the lab? Why'd they say she was Out while Dr Brief was repairing 16? Why did they change Bulma working on advanced robotics to running in late with her baby?

it's the same scene except: - Bulma's actively at work being a scientist - Vegeta's not being rude to her (or anyone else!) - Vegeta waits for Trunks instead of leaving the room - Cell interrupted the airwaves, which means Trunks and Vegeta were just hanging out with Bulma and Dr B while they were working

Those are all Great Character Details!! That the anime rails against!!

i think i finally get all those “maybe we could do with a little less shipping in fandom. this is not a complaint but a cry for help” aromantic posts

[moe-broey]

Besties it might be so fucking over. If we get Bride Sharena it's so fucking over. Like I cannot even express how bad it's gonna be for me specifically.

[stuck-in-the-ghost-zone]

all this boils down to I think is the fact that I'm just waiting to get chased out of the jrwi fandom the same way I was chased out of the j.se fandom. lmao !

Cool mushroom facts, perilous ocean journeys, government fish surveys— I don’t know what you do for a living, but it sounds really cool!

i'm an ecology student! i'm about to go into my last year of undergrad. currently i work for a soil testing lab, but i've also worked for farms, dog care companies, and the state department of conservation. upside is i get a bunch of cool stories and i also get to engage with my special interests 24/7. downside is the pay is so ass you wouldn't BELIEVE they're trying to hire people with advanced degrees. one time i saw a job listing for a bat study that paid $14/hr and wanted applicants to have a master's degree. for those outside my specific part of the US that's the starting pay at mcdonalds. imagine if they made you get a master's degree to work at mcdonalds!!!

im DYING LAUGHING at "girls been rendered like a worryingly ripped raisin"

She looks like a very jaundiced strip of jerky!! ALL the githyanki look like. Dangerously malnourished compared to everyone else?? And like idk maybe thats healthy for their physiology but given their fuckin Neitzchian philosophy I find that hard to believe, I've SEEN the creche

[frogcries]

for your bsd warriors au. have you had any thoughts on the subject of names? because the naming conventions are so specific, i'd love to see what your thoughts on it were

I haven’t thought of any names for the characters yet but if there is one thing i am not going to be doing is limiting myself! I’d like to imagine that because cats of different backgrounds joining the ADA and Port Mafia clans they don’t really stick to a certain theme, whatever the cat feels fits the most is what their name should be. Names in warrior cats are supposed to be unique to the cat I feel, they should be happy with their name and show it off with pride. So, if they want to why make them stick to a certain set of names according to their eyes.

With that aside I will be giving them a prefix and suffix but also may add a small little system where cats they deem important to them can call them only by their prefix because prefixes are unique to them! I will not have any repeating names.

hey did you know if you constantly post about how bad taylor swift is and how much you dislike her music / think she’s basic / swifties are so annoying / etc etc etc you are actually also obsessed with taylor swift?

[audible-smiles]

just got straight-up negged…while in line for the bathroom…at transgender social night…at a socialist taphouse…by a white trans woman…who then used autism as her excuse for doing classic mean girl bully techniques on a stranger. probably the single most Portland experience I’ve ever had.

also I can't believe I didn't mention this on my previous post but our instructor was giving us some tips on our makeup and how we're wearing our uniform and stuff (this part is normal at my job don't worry) and she said I have an EXOTIC BEAUTY. exotic. I think this is the worst thing anyone has ever said to my face lol

[hussyknee]

damn you seem really unpleasant to be around

Bro you have no idea.

[therevengeoffrankenstein]

i HATE how the name 'scrooge' has become an insult aimed at people who are deemed 'too greedy' or 'bad because they don't like and/or celebrate xmas.' he literally gets redeemed. the whole story is about him becoming a better person.

it's antisemitism, isn't it? like that is the only reason why 'scrooge' is an insult.

NON JEWS LAY OFF. you may interact but if u clown on this u will be blocked.

i mean i get why it sucks but i've been having an existential crisis that keeps me up at night for most of my life too and i'm not producing people expressly to abuse them and use them as tools about it. Astrals are just on something else i guess

i'd say it's a question of scale in general, as in an existential crisis coming so deeply from a whole different life in your head would fuck someone up much more. but anyway i keep saying Lucilius' way to treat other is bad, in those same posts in fact, just that his issues with depersonalization/derealization are also extremely compelling and actually make me feel bad for him. Those two feelings can coexist, and i don't mean that you have to be nicer to him or anything. i'm just saying he's still an interesting character.
