#if i had a nickel for every time this happened

If I had a nickel for every time Grian made friends with a red while he was green

I’d have 3 nickels

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened 3 times..

That one moment Grian, Skizz and Mumbo showed up to the G's base, one friendly green with his two unhinged reds XD

I had to draw that

Long have I emulated the Electra design a friend once called 'Drag Queen Optimus Prime', with the electric blue undersuit and red armour plating bits on top, but now I'm wondering if he might look cool with a black undersuit (perhaps with red tron lines? 👀👀👀) and electric blue armour??????

Idk, experimental doodles to follow.

crossdressers have a lot of TMA traits but i balk at assigning the term TMA broadly to a class of people who can, and are known for, retreating into cissexuality in their daily lives in order to comfortably wield transmisogyny against transfems. i think there's a lot of nuance there because there's such a broad spectrum, some crossdressers live as women part-time, some even take hormones, but others are extremely comfortable in cis manhood and view the crossdressing itself in a transmisogynistic way (that of self-humiliation) which they utilize to distinguish themselves from transfems and reap the benefits of that distinction. i have also encountered a weird number of crossdressers locally that i have later found out to be stealth trans men (if i had a nickel for every time, i'd have twenty cents, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened that many times), which adds another level of nuance to the conversation, because trans men fundamentally cannot be TMA. basically i am not disagreeing with you per say, but i think theres a lot of shades of grey and it's one of the few cases where "just saying TMA vs TME is reductive" is a legitimate critique, not against the vocabulary itself, but rather in how we use it to talk about this specific class of people.

the way you talk about crossdressers is legitimately identical to the way people talk about “fake transfems infiltrating womens spaces but still utilising male privilege” sorry being trapped in the closet with the threat of losing your job, family, partner, religion, housing, insurance etc isn’t a privilege step the fuck off

If I had a nickel for every time a boy who’s middle and last name was “Everett Hollow” fell in love with the human form of a sentient Key I’d have two nickels

Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice, right?

If i had a nickel for every time Finn Wolfhard played a closeted gay character in love with their best friend i’d have three nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s funny it happened thrice

[mintaikk]

If I had a nickel for every time Alejandro Saab voiced a cunning and moody character who tried to kill their former friend/ruler only to end up joining their team later and having to protect their friend/ruler from the dumb shit they do, WHILE acting like it's purely out of obligation and definitely not because they still care about them, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Time to list every one of my characters (except the angels ans stuff i didn’t name them :)

Ash: It alludes to her fate. And the pokemon character.

Clover: I saw a drawing of nagito komaeda and a clover while I was trying to name him •_•

Camilla: it simply popped into my head

Smiley: My mom actually named them, hint they have a big ass grin

Any LRSK character: Cool name popped into my head + David

Any 001 character: A reference to their power or personality

Envy: Idk how im going to give an explanation his name is cause the story is called Envy’s Angel

Haziael: Like the name hazel, made it an angel name!

Linny: Idk bro, i just wrote it down

Mare: Nightmare.

Daniel: I wholeheartedly believe that anyone named Daniel is hiding a dark evil secret

(if I had a nickel for every time I saw a police officer character named Daniel commit horrible crimes I would have two nickles but it happened twice? If you’re wondering in what it was Lucifer (DC show) and New York, New York by Marimo Ragawa, I recommend neither)

What is the meaning of your OC's name?

[the-dragon-hearted]

Right after Thunder Bringer:

Odysseus: *clinging to driftwood*

Odysseus: You know. If I had a nickel for every time a god ruined my chances of going home because Eurylochus touched some divine shit I told him not to touch, I'd have two nickels.

Ody: ...

Ody: Which isn't a lot, but I think it's really fucked up that it happened twice!

*falls unconscious*

Apollo’s family thinks he’s delusional, and I can’t help but wonder; he might actually be delusional, it just so happens that his delusions are right! I wonder how he’ll react when he first gets to meet one of his sons🤔

I can see the others trying to be supportive and offer their condolences but Apollo is all “No, no, no, I was right! I told you Percy was expecting my kid! I told you!” And Hermes and Artemis thinks he’s sunken even deeper into his delusions because there’s no way that’s Apollo’s kid, the timelines don’t match at all!

Apollo could either realize the time delay, after all, time moves differently in many magical places. Not only in the Lotus Hotel and Casino, or he is delusional and his delusions just happens to be right somehow yet again!

If he had a nickel for every time he’d deluded himself into the right conclusion, he’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s not the weirdest thing that it happened twice!😅

You don’t happen to have a hint as to what the synopsis of chapter 8 will be?

(Real fitting that Apollo’s chapter was number 7)

Apollo ted talk: being delusional helped me through the worst part of my life

Hmmm… well, out of context spoilers I can give you

YES I get to talk about my character's names.

Nephele Mercar (my canon Rook): So I unintentionally made protagonists for the first three games that I strongly associate with an element. My Warden, Ilayna, is a fire mage, my Hawke is very Water sign coded and loves the sea, and my Inquisitor, Terrwyn, is Dalish and very connected to the earth. Once I realized that (Maybe like 6 months ago?) I knew I had to make my protagonist for this game Air themed. So I picked a name before I knew anything about the game, and I can't believe that we have a companion named Neve, which sounds so similar to Neph. I also named my Hawke Seraphina and then when DAI came out....I'm just saying if I had a nickel for every time DA introduced a companion with a name that sounded like a shortened version of my character's name, I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

Nephele means "cloud" and in Greek mythology she was a nymph made from a cloud and was the mother of the centaurs, and is also connected to the Golden Fleece.

Names for my other DATV characters under the cut:

Nasreen "Raven" Aldwir: Each of my characters has a different bird code name given to them by Varric. They are all present at the Lighthouse, but Nephele is the protagonist.

Nasreen is a Persian name that means "wild rose". I really wanted something with a nature connection, and something that maybe hinted at something a little darker/edgier. I also just love this name and I think it's pretty.

Aleksei "Magpie" Laidir: means "protector of man". I gotta be honest, I don't remember why I chose this. I often have a harder time choosing male names. I also didn't have the firmest grasp on who his character was going to be at the time. If I were to name him now I probably wouldn't pick this, but now I'm very attached to it and I feel like it fits him perfectly (Although again, it's close to Elek and IF I HAD A NICKEL)

Brenna "Kestrel" Thorne: Brenna is a name I've liked for a while and wanted to use, and for a bit it was going to be my dwarf character's name. Depending on where you look, it might mean "high hill", "princess", "strength", "dark hair" or "burn". I feel like if you mixed all these ideas in to a soup, you would come out with my character.

Elspeth "Crow" de Riva: This was the DATV OC that I named last. Elspeth is the Scottish form of Elizabeth and means "chosen by God". Again, I do not remember why I landed on this. It's not Italian or Spanish. I don't think Elspeth is fully Antivan, and she had this name when she got to the orphanage. I think some people just call them "El", since it's easier to say in an Antivan accent. Elspeth is non-binary and they don't love their name because it's pretty feminine, but they also don't have a strong idea of what they would change it to. I kind of like that their name is at odds with the type of person they are.

Konstantin "Wren" Ingellvar: Russian name meaning "constant or everlasting". I wanted something German/Slavic/Russian, and this was the name I liked the best. I also think that the meaning works for him. He's not the biggest fan of his code name, and to be honest neither am I. But I'm in too deep now.

Paloma "Dove": Paloma literally means "dove". Paloma is my ex-Saarebas character, and so they chose their name. There wasn't a ton of thought behind it. She does a lot of people watching, and she heard a mother calling for her daughter, Paloma, in the market one day. She liked the sound of it, and she wanted a name that wouldn't stand out too much in Minrathous and she had no concept of what a normal name would be. She practiced saying it over and over and decided she could live with it.

It’s Monday Morning 👎👎👎🚫🚫

It’s the Rook Introduction Hour ! 🥳🥳🎊🎊🙌

For new people, it works like this: I ask you about your Rook, and if you want you can rb and answer, and then I’ll rb it back here and comment a bit !

I really made you all work last week, so let’s do something easier: What is the significance of your Rook’s (first) name? Who gave it to them— did they pick it themselves? Do they have any nicknames (besides Rook)? Who gave those to them? Do they like their name?

Feel free to answer as much/little as you like!

If i had a nickel

for every time i watched something because of queer recommendation and without me knowing ended up having cannibalism as one of the main plots, I'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened thrice.

[weast-of-eden]

Was doing my readings for my socio-language class and look who popped up!!

The author really said 'hey here's a theoretical concept– oh btw Holmes and Watson are imbedded in each other's identity, like soulmates" and I'm just supposed to keep reading????

[slendershift]

shifting for a faceless youtuber is a little embarrassing sometimes cuz it’s like yes i don’t know what he looks like… IN THIS REALITY… i promise it’s not the minecraft skin and instead is the voice and the personality… guys no don’t run away

[uths-ethnol-spam]

if i had a nickel for every time a queer nerdy d&d guy from a tiny american city in the woods got sucked into another dimension during the eighties and then fought monsters and a mind controlling demon to save his family of de facto monster hunters, i'd have two nickels — which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice
