"He and I are closer than friends. We are enemies linked together. The same sin binds us."

So. Here's some possible bg/lore mixing - idk if normal, 'non-secret service/intelligence agency' humans in this universe know vampires exist but disregarding that -

I think a lot of the vampires, esp the ones in space, are pretty high generation or thin-bloods (i.e. they're weak). Originally Locus + Felix were on the v edge of being thin-bloods (like gen 13) but... they're not anymore. The wonders of diablerie - not that they really advertise it. Views on that haven't really changed. They're also autarki aka freelance/mercenaries, but I dunno when they were Embraced; could've been before, during or after the War. Doesn't rly matter that much, they can all work imo but at least for Locus post-War works best

Locus could have either the Blood Addiction bane or the Noxious Blood bane since I think both could work for him, and Felix would have the classic Ravnos Bane of needing to move around.

I'll post more thoughts abt why I chose those clans for them + more abt sharky etc a bit later bc I don't want this to be too long lol <3

returning to my little project of making a fake neopet out of my fursona for the Third time, because I keep changing their design before I can finish it.

on the second attempt, I decided to stop being lazy and actually make larger vectors instead of drawing directly on a 150x150 canvas - which, surprise, is a hell of a lot easier. this time around, I'm also using the flash colour palette to make everything a bit more authentic. and I made one of those pet info pages you could see by going to the species list.

I've almost completed the basic recolour/minor lineart adjustment paintbrush colours. gonna post a bigger collection of them later when they're all finished, then move on to the unique poses, but these are my favourites so far. I was actually keeping so rigid to the official styles for a few of them (proportions & anatomy, consistent colours & shading, etc.), before straying away enough from desert to realise, wait, I can just have fun w/ it lol.

Not a single day goes by where I don't think about Kaz accidentally saying Jordie instead of Jesper in the fight in Crooked Kingdom.

[tearlessrain]

the stupid thing is I wasn't even a gifted kid. I was firmly mediocre for my entire time as a student and then dropped out of college and burned out anyway because getting middling grades and doing the bare minimum was just so exhausting I guess.

Maybe I just have bad approval with her but Shadowheart is so weirdly catty (and also flirty) in an Astarion run? She'll call him "the leader of the pack", say he seems needy if you ask to get to know her, but also says she enjoys chatting with him, would be interested in hanging out even after the tadpoles are removed, and when she asks what he'd do if she turned into a mindflayer there's an option to say he'd "leave her tied up while he looked for a cure", to which she'll say that she would just kill you, and then joke about him not thinking too much about tying her up (wink nudge). Like she's so fun and dynamic, it makes me wonder why this dialogue was cut from custom character playthroughs (or maybe it's just glitched).

What motivated you to make Tel your canon outlander?

Oh, that's a fun story :D

Originally it was his big sister, Silver, smuggler extrodinaire and one of my OG launch day babies

(art from emedeme)

She's two years older than Tel and I've always(since making him, at least, bc he came along a year or two after she did) headcanoned they were going through the class story events at roughly the same pace. She was a little ahead for Act 1, he was in Act 2, then she was for Act 3 and the post-main story stuff. They keep in touch and are on good terms; catching up, goofing off, teasing each other mercilessly etc etc. So when Silver starts running Shadow of Revan, of course she taps in her little brother for help. There's no way Tel's a Revanite; he loves the Republic so much he left the family smuggling business to be a goody-two-shoes soldier.

Since this means they've both interacted with Marr and Satele, I had the thought it would be really funny if when Marr commed Silver about the Wild Space Expedition she snarked something about her war hero brother being a better fit for somethin' like that and gave him Tel's holofrequency before snuggling in against Corso and going tf back to sleep. (cue five years of Guilt™ when she thinks she got him killed >.>) And then I started actually thinking about it, and realized it was a) something she would do and b) very helpful for some Silver/Corso timeline things. With when I wanted them to have kids, she would have been 7 or 8 months pregnant in carbonite(yeesh) and Corso would have had an 18 month old to handle while she was MIA and while Silver is good she's not heroic, if that makes sense.

Tel is both. He's so Captain America his face claim is Chris Evans /cough And he's a really good fit for Alliance Commander(better than Silver, much as I love her, she does not do the Leading Large Forces thing). Sooo my joke thought turned into canon. Silver instead got that Dantooine farm Corso mentions in one of his romance letters, three kids, and occasionally goes on forays into Wild Space to look for her little brother bc part of her can't believe he's dead. (she finds him on one of them, and becomes an Alliance recruit. Yes, this messes up the whole Corso and Risha alliance alert, but you only get that as a smuggler, so it's fiiiiine. Risha can tag along. That way I get to reunite her with Vette and all is as it should be in the world.)

OH. Also, Elara Dorne is my favorite romance in the whole game, so I had to make her my canon one. :D

glad to see that wyll is getting fixes/reactivity improvements with patch 7 but it doesn't sound like they'll be making any changes to his quest or really equalizing his overall content with the other companions :/ hoping i'm just being pessimistic!

i know they said "no new narrative content" but honestly i wish they'd bring back his romance scene from EA with the appropriate edits for his release characterization and re-record it with theo solomon because that is technically not """new""" content lol

anyway anyway i am looking forward to hearing this line in game

[sapphire-weapon]

i played R6 about 4 times i never realized about Simmons and Carla until you pointed it out😭😭😭 story is fucking confusing

it is the most sanitized and obfuscated piece of RE6's story -- which is really fucking bad considering it is the fucking thing around which the entire plot hinges. it's like the devs were afraid to actually call it for what it was. it took me i think three times through before i realized it, myself

but

it finally clicked after i saw this

and then got to the end again

and i went

OH

THIS IS A RAPE ALLEGORY

LEON IS RESCUING ADA FROM RAPE HERE

@beatingheart-bride

It never ceased to make Randall's heartache, hearing about how distant Emily's family life was growing up, so much so that she barely spoke to her parents, knowing too well that everything she said would simply go in one ear and out the other. It was just so different from his own childhood experiences, how he knew he could always turn to his mother for...anything, really. He knew he could talk to her, ask for her advice, or just simply confide in her, and he knew she would listen. It gutted him to think Emily didn't have the same experience.

"Well, you're a part of this family now," he replied, trying not to dwell on the past (or be resentful of his in-laws), smiling tenderly as he added, "And I couldn't be happier about that: You're a Pace, as far as me and my folks are concerned, and that means the world to us, having you in our afterlives, Emily."

After all this time, in Randall's eyes, Emily had the family she deserved: Although his parents had long made it clear that they never wanted to replace her own parents in her heart, they had nevertheless stepped up to the plate, giving her the familial support she'd long craved. They listened to her, they were supportive of her, they respected her...they treated her like family, because that was what she was. A Pace was a Pace, no matter how they came to be a part of their little clan.

"And I'm sure my uncles and my grandparents will feel just the same way," he smiled, as he pressed a loving kiss to her golden locks: Although she didn't have the worries he and his father did about being accepted, he had no doubt that, by the end of this visit, the Burkes and the Paces would embrace her too.

[finasol]

In theory I want to romance Shadowheart but in practice I know I'll never not romance Astarion. So I'm gonna romance her in my Astarion origin playthrough

[moltage]

evie is so lucky fr she wouldn't be bored for a second when her father is sam cooper and he's friends with ppl like mick and prophet. they all have so much to tell

Come to think, post breakup Ross (and then again post breakup like 50 years later, no spoilers or anything but boy has no sense of direction where his life could go, he's just vibing but the vibes are hella off) could use a grippy socks vacation too. But it would be a very bad idea to let a vampire there so he just copes on his own lmao
