Hi! I was wondering if the dark urge route is worth playing. I enjoy the customisable tav route, but I've tried to play dark urge origin route and it just feel Yandere simulator Disney channel cartoon villain vibes at last through the first half of act 1. I trust your recs, so I was wondering since one of ur mcs is dark urge if its worth continuing to play this route. 😅

LMAO. What specifically made you feel that way? No judgment, I just love a good lol /and can be a petty troll.

I don't hate it. I feel like I've gotten some really good moments so far playing a redeeming Durge romancing Wyll [when from what I gather the meaty stuff is an evil durge or a redeeming one romancing Astarion]. I'm still early in act three, and from what I gather end of two and three is where we really get into Durge's history. I do admit it can drag on -- not the learning but the getting there.

I feel to have avoided that they should have 1. done better with the memories 2. introduced a certain character in MCs backstory earlier 3. connect mc better to ALL the potential romance routes not just Astarions 4. the pacing -- or maybe pacing isn't the right word, it's sorta disjointed some of the things Durge can do/has done or said and how the characters react.

In retrospect, thinking about your comments actually, maybe it's because I play a non-dragonborn [I hear they are more expressive] but it is SO weird how my Tav is constantly smirking when the narrator speaks about their EhVuhl. It makes me feel like I'm playing BBC Morgana.

I would say I would give the route a 3/5. Maybe a 3.5 but I'm also still asleep and will probably have more thoughts as I wake up but also as I go on. I think a lot of the appeal for me is the RP perspective. The figuring out her motivation and her connections and what it means to her. I mean I do that with all my Tavs. But I sorta like calculating WHY Kaeliana makes the 'wrong' choice and why she doesn't when she does, what drives her, what is her outlook. So I think if you go into it like that, you will find it very enjoyable. But yeah the smirks are annoying.

#and honestly i do feel they could have done better with the actual urges #i felt there werent that much #grapecase plays bg3 #anon #grapecase answers #long post #narrative analysis #sorta lmao #there are certain other things - beyond my list - that i would have liked more of but #overall. at the moment. i am enjoying the experience #i will admit it WAS a slow start and for a bit i played kaeliana less than my other current tavs but then i wanted to develop her and wyll #and get THAT scene. then i sorta liked the friendships she had growing with astarion and i kept playing lmao #i've put on a break at the moment bc i got annoyed with the game and it's schematics re: buildings and sneaking in and missions and stuff #hope this is of help!#the moments with wyll and astarion/the reasonings ive weaved beyond would take it higher if it was those alone lmao #but overall. yeah 3/3.5 #maybe durge playing mutes/followers can give their insight too #i feel like im biased being so pro wyll and so anti ... how they make these characters connect

Wholeheartedly

#(but not willingly)#they makr me insaaaaaaane bc its like.#wanting to be who you used to be. wanting to go back to when things didnt hurt all the time #ignoring the fact that even back then things were still bad #it was bad and it still is bad but now its bad and also painful constantly #and just bad is better than pain #but its not possible to go back bc ur not that person anymore #and 'that person' is now seperate from you #and he doesnt know anything #and all you want anymore is to join with him so you can both be the 'you' that was sad and lonely and abused #but at least you werent in pain #this actually doesnt have much to do with the art itself i just felt like rambling about vanitas bc hes fucked ip #and deserves therapy for *gestures vaugely* all that #vanitas #ventus #vanven #in spirit #kingdom hearts #kingdom hearts birth by sleep #kh #kh bbs #art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

#tumblr polls #hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today #still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual #They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully #it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec #fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since #I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm #ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos #or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things #I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming #over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY #I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb #e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about #different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see #stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I #can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud..#but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone #said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects #the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

erod and his adventures with finnish media aka i think my job is to make mikksy giggle and provide emotional support and i will do my job well!

"imma support you" he says as he gives mikksy a good back pat so he understands that heres here for him and is making space for him. mikksy nodding along like yes very well i expected this thank you you will be the court jester by my side yes

their banter is so toptier "youre half finnish" and erods absolutely JOY when he processes it that he got mikksy of all people admitted him as half finnish like yeah you ARE RIGHT. I AM. I KNOW THE MOST FINNISH ON THE TEAM FOR A NOT-FINN the absolute pride that puffed up in him as being admitted into the finns i did not have mikksy teasing erod about being half finnish in my bingo card and yet here we are

mikksy interupting the finnish reporter just to get one last dig in "you can answer too" and erods just utterly delighted mikksy is being this playful i absolutely cannot stand the way they both look away (mikksy at the reporter to lock back in, erod to giggle into his lap before he cant help but look back at mikksy and their eyes meet in a beautiful- i have to stop myself here before i write romantic prose) and mikksy immediately taking the smile off his fave to focus because YEAH YOU NUMBSKULLS YOURE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERVIEW YOU ARE NOT AT A DINNER DATE GOING WHERE THE MOOD TAKES YOU. FOCUS. LOCK TF IN.

when your secret husband teammate starts actually focusing on the interview and youre alone to your own devices listening to all the finnish and going from happy to be here! to oh dear god what are they saying my rudimentary finnish can only take me so far. you can see the way the cogs in brains are turning slowly and he's trying to recall words hes learned to get any semblance of whats being said but its fast paced for him he just gets lost and the big ass grin he got from mikksy teasing just slowly starts to fall...

not a single thought in that brain of his... the lights are on but no ones home...

the many faces of erod as he tries to say the only finnish words he knows "ah can i go now- no."

nows my chance i can make my secret husband ah i mean teammate giggle see i know finnish look how well im doing please look at me! "kiitos" he looks like a puppy waiting for approval and he got it mikksys proud little nod like yes thats a word good job you remembered and you used it in a- well certainly in a context not really the best context- you know what it doesnt matter good job

this is what i imagine its like when you take your secret husband teammate home to your parents and are like "okay after the several months of finnish lessons ive drilled into you to make a good impression on my parents so they like you and see youre assimilating my culture into our relationship and respect us do you remember what to say?" "kiitos :)" "...good enough. youre canadian its okay theyll be impressed with that. just sit there and look pretty and let me do the talking okay dear?" "kiitos :)" "just like that sweetheart keep it up 👍"

edmonton oilers @ florida panthers game 2 postgame interview | 6.10.24 (x)

#niko mikkola #evan rodrigues #florida panthers #2324 #playoffs 24 #the thrilling video evidence of erod staying for mikksys finnish interview portion #i felt like i walked into a secret marriage i wasnt supposed to know about #shorter goofball gets the tall hot babe tale as old as time #this is the insightful commentary yall wanted right #im sorry i cant hear anything over the romantic novella im concocting about these teo #ah so all it takes to get mikksy to smile is to be funny and have rizz as they kids say #if they werent in the midst of an interview that back and forth banter would NOT have stopped im telling you that much ☝️#erod thinks hes such hot shit for making mikksy chuckle and hes so right #“you are half-finnish” is that a marriage proposal #or rather are you people already MARRIED #also i think mikksy replies with “sellain” after roddy says kiitos but i wasnt sure so i didnt want to add it #please someone who actually knows finnish tell me #roddy constantly touching mikkola....okay...

Anyone else thinking about the narrative significance of the movie opening with a scene where Skwisgaar refuses to be touched by Toki and by the final scene Skwisgaar is in Toki's arms without protesting? Cause I sure am

#army of the doomstar #army of the doomstar spoilers #aotd spoilers #metalocalypse #toki wartooth #skwisgaar skwigelf #skwistok #i swear they werent playing with the skwistok in this movie #it almost felt like. confirmation to me JDSJSDKJ #like bridal carrying is pretty much a romantic trope i just....#bitches be gay man #bitches be fucking gay #might as well marry at this point goddamn #basu post

fastest way to piss me off is to try and add something to a task im in the middle of doing because 'youre already doing it so this shouldnt be extra work tee hee' THATS NOT HOW THIS WORKS

#i have planned this out. meticulously. in my fucking head #i have mentally prepared myself for every step. i have decided how much energy i need #i have Locked In. and u have just fucked everything up #this felt like a bigger issue for energy when i was depressed #but it turns out its still an issue because im Just Like That (probably autistic)#anyway. this all sounds catastrophic but this was inspired by being in the middle #of physically carrying plates and needing to rinse them #which is nothing really but my god did my temper suddenly explode. i think it was also the manner it was said #like tee hee just sneaking it in there youre already doing it so =) if i had been outright asked #before i started moving. i wouldnt have gotten so pissed off #and thinking back on it i wouldnt also have tipped off to nuclear if the extra plates #WERENT PUT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SINK WHERE THEYD BE A HUGE HINDRANCE #AND ID HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MOVE THEM TO GET LITERALLY ANYTHING DONE #the simplest solution that absolves me of any assholery is to have said Hey.#next time tell me before i stand up instead of trying to sneak it in cos thats not cute.#unfortunately i was abruptly consumed by a haze of pissed off #tldr this all boils down to I had a plan i had allocated resources and everything was planned arnd it #and u threw a wrench in it. can u imagine what its like when bigger more substantial things #are interrupted. it involves drinking to avoid snapping at people

I have to kill you. Is that what they told you? It’s what I am. Then I should just kill you right now. Sure. But you could’ve done that 30 seconds ago.

#i have so much to say about them and this scene #so much is being said on that 'i wouldnt be here if it werent for you' like. the guilt he must have felt. and never being allowed to grieve?#spnedit #deanedit #becauseofthebowties #dean and emma #dean #s7gifs #dad dean #mine

good lord I need to rewatch MID

#I haven’t actually done so since it came out #and at the time I was kinda ehhhh on the whole point of the plot #cuz that’s where my interests were at the time (…and yes I felt jealous it was getting produced when mystreet and rebirth werent)#so like….i watched it but I didn’t really care enough to commit much of it to me Emory #but now I have seen the light #and I’m reworking my multiverse lore to include the daemos realm directly #and I…do not remember wtf they did for 26 episodes #my inner demons #aphmau

This is a shout out to everyone who feels like they didn't do enough with their dogs this year.

Everyone who didn't reach their official or unofficial training goals.

Everyone who didn't go to a training class or practice as much as they wanted.

Everyone who didn't overcome or make progress on their dog's issues.

Everyone who didn't compete or trial or title.

There's so much pressure to prove yourself as a handler and prove your dog, especially right now when everyone's posting their accomplishments. But it's okay if the only thing you did this year was enjoy your dog.

That's the whole point of having a dog, and that's more than enough.

#dogblr #maverick #i know this sounds hypocritical because i did post my accomplishments #but let me remind you that mav spent two and a half years doing NOTHING #i felt so much pressure to title and prove him that i didnt enjoy any of it #it took so long for me to like mav because i felt we werent moving fast enough #and that sucks!#so if you didnt meet your goals this year #or if you feel you didnt make enough progress #hang in there and go tell your dog you love them #if you enjoyed your dog at any point this year? you did great #good work #and do it again next year

had an absolute shit day at work, got off of work, remembered lando and oscar’s beef, almost started crying, went on twitter, saw that they ate mcdonalds and played monopoly on the plane back to monaco, almost started crying again, no longer feel like shit thank you and goodnight

#no bc my day at work was lowkey terribleeeee 😍😍😍😍#had TWO people call and yell at me and the first one was literally so bad that my bosses and everyone else that works there was APPALLED #when they read the transcript of the call and said it was one of the worst calls they’ve ever seen #i’ve worked here for literally five days and three of those werent even me actually working and answering calls #so anyway that was cute but they all said i handled the situation well so there’s THAT #which. realized how much i actually cannot handle praise because i still feel a bit weird about that #anyway #got off work and then had literally twenty minutes to myself where i actually could be alone with my thoughts #and OBVIOUSLY ended up thinking of landoscar like any normal person would #and then got incredibly sad and felt a pit of despair in my chest #and then went on twitter and saw the article saying that they’re fine #so like. i no longer feel like actually blowing my brains out #at least until i think about landos radios and then i want to die again but what can you do #anyway. i have to be up at 8:30am so i will very much be going to sleep soon because i am Tired #and i really hope i don’t uave to deal with that entire situation again at work tomorrow because there’s a chance i will lol #lacey talks

okay so as a gen 5 stan who does adore the story in bw and bw2, and now that gen 5 has experienced both a vicious hatedom that wouldnt hear a single positive thing about the games, and now a super protective fandom that insists they were perfect and had zero flaws... can we admit now that the bw1 story at least was. a little mid.

#just a little. just a little.#i am saying this as someone who adores it and loves the characters a lot #...... but good god team plasma kinda sucks ass as an evil organization #bw2 is sorta better about them with the split factions but in the first game theyre so obnoxious and come across as strawmen #the game talks about how the world is nuanced and not black and white and its not good to take extreme sides #but then. it sorta does that with the protagonists? by refusing to talk about abused pokemon that werent hurt by team plasma?#obviously they are wrong. the game hammers it in with a mallet. but is it really nuanced if our stance is ''ha ha thats silly''#and yeah groups like plasma exist irl but like. as someone who cares abt animal rights and stuff a lot. i feel like they fumbled it here #the answer shouldnt have been ''well ig some pokemon get hurt. we wont talk about them though. watch the grunt kick a munna''#it shouldve been about animal welfare. like maybe instead of becoming assistant professor; bianca couldve become a nurse joy #or she couldve joined some organization that rescues and rehabilitates pokemon from abusive trainers. maybe the reformed plasma from bw2 #and before someone goes ''erm its a kids game they cant do that :/ thats too complicated'' first of all- the anime showed a malnourished te #tepig #kids can handle a bit of text next to a skittish lillipup thats like ''its scared of humans'' or something and its being cared for by someo #someone''#plus the side games were tackling much heavier shit at this point #also again they were apparently fine with a grunt kicking a munna and bragging about how he loves doing that so.#like even as a kid i felt like that scene was really over the top and stupid #team plasma feels less like an attempt to do commentary on harmful animal rights ideas that lead to ecofascism and dont care abt the animal #true needs #and more like gamefreak read a lot of obnoxious critical pokemon posts like ''lmao training is like dogfighting'' and ''this promotes anima #abuse!'' and just made a strawman out of those people. and like i agree thats all stupid but it sorta hurts the message of the game #that the world is very nuanced and taking extremes is bad and reductive.#and this isnt getting into poor story and gameplay integration and other stuff like underutilized characters (you know exactly who i mean)#idk. again i still adore the story and have a huge soft spot for it. but i think the only reason people say its perfect is out of defensive #defensiveness and not having engaged with a ton of video game stories. and pokemon stories not being fantastic in general #like i think pla is better put together story wise than this game and its got less going on than this #echoed voice

i think im gonna miss our dogs forever and ever

#like. it's even sadder I think than if they had passed away #and one of them. manny. was very old. and a very good boy. loved and guarded my mom so hard #and the fact that I don't even know if he's still alive is heartbreaking #and charlie was my bestest friend like every day when I woke up and came out of my room he would jump up and run around me #and we called him 'dr charlie' because whenever one of us was sad or not feeling well he would fix it #and lucy was so young and we had her for such a short period of time and she was such a sweetheart #and her ears felt like velvet #i just miss them all so much #but we had to put them up for adoption when we moved #like. if only we couldve gifted them to friends or something #so then we'd still be able to visit #and i feel like i didnt give them a proper goodbye #like they were here and then suddenly they werent.#and i miss them so bad all the time #anyway. sorry for the vent i just loved them a lot
