#it dint ruin the vibe

[alien-ally]

shoutout to last twilight for having the first ever watchable and LOVELY singing scene in a thai bl.

[mercair]

*(Alright, we're rollin'. Don't ruin this collaboration for us, Visin. . .)

*Lightners and Gentle-darkners, welcome to this live recording for the one and only Tenna Talk Show! I'm your host, as always, Mx. Tenna! The darkner you can always count on to call themself your aunt and give you little to none of some pretty good advice in all honesty. Tonight, we have some very special guests! Everyone give it up for the one and only Mike Roffani and The Director!

*W-wait what??? Visin, you said that I was out of this recordin'! I didn't sign up to be on air today, I just had to deal with dat stupid plant-

*Oh nonono, my dearest Rophony! These two are from an. . .adjacent dark world and must have a lot to say about their careers! Now, tell us, Roffani n' Miss Director, how have your careers been shaking up? Have you seen any Lightners in the crowd? Maybe, perhaps, our glorious Little Knight, Kris, who made this dark world for us! Give them a hand, will ya? Anyway, back to the topic, how has you guy's days been? And if you don't mind me adding to this. . .what's your opinion on Rook's little gang on misfits he's made over here with me, Rophony, and him? Got anything to say about us? Don't worry, I'm always open to constructive and destructive criticism!

*(Wait! I-I wasn't supposed to be a part of this script! You know how I get when the cameras are rolling and-)

*Relax, Action! You'll be fine out here! Why dint we all give him a big hand as he misreads the room and decides to come over here now to get an exclusive interview with all three of us!

*Ummm. . .Hi. . ?

*Oh this is gonna be fun. I's can already tell. Maybe i was against it earlier, but now that Action's here to embarrass himself I feel a bit less like the odd one out in dis room. . .

*H-Hey! You can't. . . Wait! Right! Interview! Yeah, okay, yep! So ummmm. . .yeah that.

* Well, first of all, thanks for having us here on your show, Visin! It really is a new experience, especially for me! I'm usually the one sitting over there askin' stuff to people! It's nice, sometimes you just need a lil' fresh air, you know what i mean? How 'bout you, boss?

* Gotta say buddy, it's preeetty damn weird to not be behind the cameras after so long. But eh, i guess it's not that bad.

* As for your first questions, Visin. Well now that we're back at it, work is goin' pretty good i say, thanks to lil' Kris in the crowd! Perhaps the only lightner i respect.

* HAHA, YOU'RE RIGHT! It's thanks to them that i get to see the boss again!

* Aww, how unecessarily and horribly sweet, Mike (don't say things like that in public ever again or i swear to god i will fire you).

* Anyways Visin, as for your other questions, i gotta say i-

* OH MAN I LOVE IT HERE! You guys got such a nice studio, and i have to tell ya' buddy i like your style, n' that suit looks really good on ya', Visin! Do you mind givin' me your tailor's info or somethin'?

* ... Do you have a tailor?

* AHEM, as i was saying before the rude interruption of my buddy Mike, i like the vibe here!

* Your buddy Mike Rophony looks like a serious business man and that's also one of the only professions i respect, i mean, i myself am runnin' a studio n' a mo- A STUDIO, i said a studio. I know the work, i know how hard it is. Besides, i like the style, looks almost like it came right out from a movie, haha!

* And your buddy, Mr. Rook Action, from a director to another, i gotta say i like their work, sure famous people might get a lil' bit borin', (No offense, Visin) but they're FAMOUS for a reason, ain't i right?

* And i'd say that anxiety is a normal thing in this particular line of work, you know, wantin' to please the public n' all that crap, but i gotta be honest, that might actually be a problem, and it ain't gonna do you any favour, buddy. I myself have never had any anxiety problems or anythin' like that-

* What? But boss, remember that one time that we ran out of actors for a princess movie?

* Mike i swear to god-

* And you got so desperate to please the lightners that you decided to play the role of the princess yourself...

* MIKE.

* And you were stuttering almost all the time in all of your lines...

* IT'S BEEN AGES SINCE THE LAST TIME I'VE ACTED MIKE. STOP.

* And almost had a panic attack when the cameras started rolling in the kiss scene...

* MIKE. SHUT. UP-

* And then you never finished the movie because of that...

* MIKE PLEASE-

* HAHA! I remember i was playing the prince on that one, that was wei-

* MIKE I'M GOING TO STRANGLE YOU.

Ghost Warrior 3

most reasonable man in the room by dint of everyone else being wack so Yvraine decides to not be so cautious and goes with just the Visarch to meet a group of the suspicious folk whose craftworld name I keep misspelling and Iyanna is about to have some secret revealed to her chapter ends there!

are you kidding me

Also it’s clear the only thing Thorpe enjoys is writing about scenery and interior decoration Sydari shows her around his crib and Iyanna finds it weird he’s not having her meet the family

hehe sinister and unwelcoming monoliths a joke that is probably only funny to me

Augh Annnd over to Meliniel who has an ominous feeling despite there being no sign of anything off Isn’t this guy a freakin farseer Isn’t it his literal job to look and see the future And scan for danger and how to avoid Oh there are Exodites here but of course we don’t get much on them or a pov That would be too fun and exciting He thinks about how working with the Ynnari is more difficult than when he was part of biel tans forces but more rewarding Annnd back to Iyanna and she notices the furniture and walls look a lot more organic than she’s used to

Yeah it’s apparently made of living flesh, which freaks out Iyanna Sydari: it’s no more aware than your jewels Iyanna, currently wearing multiple spirit stones: uhhh about that And now Meliniel and the others are under house arrest for their own protection Because apparently there’s corporeal daemons around Annnd Iyanna gets lured to join the group mind because she’s sad and lonely Time for Yvraine's cat to have a pov And the mystery craftworlders smell alien Oops kitty got caught and had to run And his pov ends on a cliffhanger And now time for the temptation of the group mind as she finds love and acceptance in it

Okay this part is, actually mostly decent? Iyanna is getting a glimpse at what she really wants which is to have a family again Back to Meliniel and the Ynnari shot first Haha Interrupting a ritual on the basis of vibes And now finally over to Yvraine who has found the gate of malice But Lo a harlequin appears carrying her poor wounded cat Annnd then we have Thorpe trying to ape Tolkiens poetry in The Hobbit I would be kinder about this were he any other writer TLDR remember Tom bombadills song well it’s like that but sung by a harlequin and completely ruining the mood

no, I stand by my disdain

Yep It’s genestealers I didn’t even know they did eldar And now we get an interlude explaining the legends of the different origin stories of the avatars of khaine Iyanna is staring at him now lol Okay so Sydari pov and he put literal magic brain worms in her head. Okay.

I didn’t think it was???? Why do you feel the need to specify this Meanwhile the Ynnari are losing rip

just gotta drink the blood

Uh Isn’t Iyanna in a very high status position on Iyanden?? Well respected?? She does in fact snap out of it and drop the cup And realize the manipulation « My family are dead » This was actually half decent, this bit

that's her secret, she's always angry

anyways Sydari is now

FATALITY

And it’s iyanna with the spear vs the weird khaine gene stealer hybrid thing

the power of friendship and death is gonna save the day

Again this is not too bad it could be that deep And with the power of death and friendship the two of them manifest the Yncarne

SOOOON And the Yncarne noms the groupmind And then the entire craft world starts falling apart Because of course it does Annnd back again to Meliniels subplot He’s just having one of those days you know

Now Yvraine is doing her best to not get sucked in by the Yncarne And she flashes back to meeting the Visarch Annnd Iyanna's gone catatonic again

she walks a lonely road on the boulevard of broken dreams

Is this…an actual positive moment???? Okay gate of malice time for real

you and guilliman can wear matching outfits

Incredible Black monolith, y’all If it absorbs someone and or time travel is involved I’m gonna sue Thorpe for plagiarism Also the moon is creepy and red and made Iyanna swoon

NOTE FROM FUTURE BLUEJAY: IT DID ABSORB SOMEONE

I didn’t know harlequins stole Oscar Wildes lines Yvraine is so close to her goal she can taste it meanwhile the visarch is being tempted by khaine And everyone but her gets affected by khaine So now there’s infighting among the Ynnari Yvraine is fighting the visarch She’s losing Oh she died And everyone stops and the visarch comes back to himself Welp time for ynnead interrupt And Yvraine resurrects Can you call that a deus ex machina It’s not necessarily a bad moment but I’m not sure what the point was Annnd 1/3 of the surviving Ynnari are dead So they are finally into the tomb and there is zero sign of the crone sword

Of course After Iyanna's moment of triumph we need to be reminded that we can’t have nice things Oh they got a jewel drop

Visarch: so uh does it do anything Meliniel: I think so Okay so Mel can now summon the super khaine kaiju that wrecked them Because it belongs to ynnead now And book ends there The ending I guess could have been worse?

Random-ass story question: What's your favorite line/paragraph of those you've published so far? What is it about it that makes it your favorite bit of writing?

OH man, that's a tough question, in no small part because I am absolutely the type of person to answer every hierarchical question with 'it depends' and 'per capricious vibes'. Also, this is where I admit I haven't actually published any of my critical role fics despite. this whole blog, other than some bits and pieces I've posted on here.

What I have put online are 99% dragon age pieces, because that's where I briefly lived before diving into critical role, but it IS a little random so I'll do one published bit & one that's from a cr fic:

The world spun, resolved itself over the City of Chains and the climbing conceit of Hightown, all under a sky that grimly withheld the rain as if in punishment. Her mind scrabbled for purchase, unmoored somewhere in time—but no, there were the fires, the scarred cobblestone, the rubble and ruin of the Chantry. The sight was enough to tear off the accretion of months, years since from the scar of her memories, the storm she weathered by dint of proclaiming herself unsinkable.

Operating in the nebulous area of passages that have stuck with me vs. clear-cut faves, there is something about keeping imagery succinct yet endeavoring to capture Weird Magic that is very appealing. Anyway, that was the dragon age excerpt, and I'm realizing how terrible I am at discussing my own writing as I'm typing, lmao, fully aware I've done this to myself.

Fjord almost laughed at the pair of them, lying and lying on their threadbare cots, and in between the silent contention of who could better outpace their own story.

Lines that encapsulate the theme of the whole piece are just fun generally, and like. stupid wordplay is one of my weaknesses. But this has the added context of being from a WIP that I'm inordinately fond of that will probably never see the light of day, so take that as you will.

Book Review: The Invocations by Krystal Sutherland

Grade: Solid A Category: YA Trigger warnings: Body horror, intense scenes, discussion of abuse toward women, murder of women, flaying skin

Back in November, I went to YAllFest and picked up a healthy bundle of ARCs. Their release dates are starting to come up, so I thought I'd finally get to them.

The Invocations follows a trio of three young women--Zara, Jude, and Emer--all of whom are turning to witchcraft, aka cursebreaking, to solve their current problems. The book is perfectly suited to its intended age category (YA), but I think it has a lot of crossover appeal with the adult category. It starts slow and builds up speed, but goes a little too breakneck into the hairpin turn of the ending. Besides some awkward pacing toward the end and a bit of lost character arc for one of them, this is an excellent book for the young horror enthusiast who also enjoys a witchy aesthetic.

This book releases on January 30th.

Further discussion and spoilers under the cut

I might have to look into more books by this author, as I really appreciate her pacing. Although I think the climax deviates very far from the more deliberate buildup of the first hundred pages, it's not so out there that it ruins the story. The majority of the book is a well-paced whodunnit that plays off the different class strata that the main three come from. It's dark, a little gruesome, but it ends in a positive place.

It is still YA, so please don't expect a lot of subtext that asks a lot of the reader. YA is supposed to be straightforward for the sake of the main demographic, but that doesn't mean it's inherently shallow. If anything, I'd say The Invocations avoids being a "head empty, no thoughts" vibes-only book by dint of it tackling such heavy subject matter.

I do think it can be read in a very gender essentialist way, though. At one point, Emer (the one who writes the spells; the only explicit witch, as it were) says that she's written spells/curses for transwomen, as it's the soul that matters, not the physical body. Likewise, the rules of the magic say that only women can write curses, which leaves it unclear where nonbinary people exist in this world, according to its metaphysical forces. This is bypassed by completely ignoring nonbinary people. I don't think that's the best route the author could have gone, but I also don't think the book would have been enhanced by diverting several hundred words to go into the specifics of how all genders work in this world with the magic.

If the author wanted to be wholly inclusive, then she probably needed to rewrite the magic from the ground up. Which would have necessitated rewriting the plot, as part of it hinges on them not immediately suspecting a guy as the killer.

Besides that, the book manages to do a good job with its horror. There are several terrifying scenes, including one that has the potential to keep people up at night. However, I would say most of the horror comes from body horror and grotesque descriptions of the dead rather than psychological horror. The book in general steadily becomes more of a mystery as it goes on, as well.

I wish that Zara's storyline had been done better, too. She feels like the odd duck out of the trio of main characters, often doing her own thing and having her own motivations separate from Emer and Jude, which don't necessarily wrap her back in step with the others. She also suffers a small mental break at the end of a chapter that is never repeated nor built upon and is sadly forgotten by the resolution. I thought for sure it foreshadowed her becoming a villain, or at least a temporary antagonist, but no. All of the young women have tragic backstories that are softened and glossed over a bit for the sake of pacing and the age category, but Zara's feels heavier due to how interior and secretive she is. The reader is privy to her complex feelings, but she tells comparatively little to her new friends.

Regardless of that, it's a very good book. If you can ignore the gender binary of it all, then I'd highly recommend it, and I would especially recommend it for the teen in your life who's frustrated with everything and just wants to burn everything down and then retire to a cottagecore hut out in the Irish countryside.

TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR TAMAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gd you can FEEL the blast of life and brightness that suddenly rushes into this book the second she re-appears! this chapter is a COMPLETELY world from the ones before it in every way but most most of all in the way tamar is ALIVE!!! blinded and eyes ‘chiming with power’ or w/e the line was...oxygen rush

less in the core of things but related i was trying to recall what the scenes of the city of eden were reminding me of and i think it’s the manga Aria? with mc as a young gondolier in the venice-like low-tech retro canal city on mars? a little bit i think

[fcb-mv33]

Not to ruin the happy atmosphere but was I the only one sensing an attitude from Carlos? Like from how he was during the interview and saying Sergio was lucky (!) Dude your team made a mistake and the rivals had a better strategy and took advantage of it, wtf

Idk

Honestly i did a lil bit of a vibe but I think he was more so pissed he didn’t win….but with the way Ferrari are acting now I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the attitude we see from Carlos saying Checo was lucky doesn’t continue.

At the end of the day they dint seem to want to admit they fucked it up fir themselves. They lost a race and a 1-2 that they were in control off…its their own fault. Red Bull were just superior with their strategies and their drivers.

Chaotic ship meme for Loki & Mobius and Loki & Geralt

[Chaotic ship meme]

Muahaha yes good >:) same as before I'll pop the second under a cut @benevolentgodloki

--

Loki/Mobius

Who is more likely to do some shady stuff for the other?

I mean…Mobius did go against the TVA bc of Loki but Loki is Loki so he’s gonna be the shady one by default :U

Which one playfully calls the other a bitch and which one sarcastically calls the other an asshole?

I can see them both using ‘em tbh >:) though Mobius would probably need to be a lot grumpier.

Which one is more likely to purposefully act in a way that will make their partner jealous?

Loki?? Probably??? Though I don’t think it’s above Mobius to do it to get a reaction.

Who is more petty / passive aggressive when they’re upset?

Loki, c’mon xD

Which one is most likely to get into a fight on the other’s behalf

Mmm idk; Loki’s more likely to/capable of backing up fights but Mobius is pretty protective of Loki when people are talking shit, and ofc Loki has the rep to need it.

Which one is the most likely to bail the other out of jail?

Mobius p much keeps bailing Loki from space jail, so.

Who is more likely to initiate mischief of any kind? And does the other stand back and watch or try to stop them?

Loki is mischief lmao and Mobius has watched it unfold. Dude didn’t even stop Loki ruining his salad, he’s totally here to enjoy Loki’s bullshit and pretend he doesn’t.

Which one purposefully annoys the other one to see how long it takes for them to snap?

Again both ways bc Mobius loves fucking with Loki when he’s got the power to, but Loki’s a mischief gremlin so they take turns.

Which ones gets protective because ‘only I’m allowed to bully you!’

Mobius with the TVA especially xD

Who is the one to apologize first when things are pushed too far

Mobius.

Who one ups the other when they proclaim their love? (”no I love you more” “No I love you more.”)

Lmao at the proclaiming :U but I think it’s in both their natures to be a lil playfully competitive tho Loki would end up winning via magic or something.

--

Loki/Geralt

Who is more likely to do some shady stuff for the other?

Loki, probably by dint of access to shadier stuff but Geralt would engage if it needs to be done.

Which one playfully calls the other a bitch and which one sarcastically calls the other an asshole?

Loki; Geralt probably would in reference of Loki to others :U

Which one is more likely to purposefully act in a way that will make their partner jealous?

Loki, and it works.

Who is more petty / passive aggressive when they’re upset?

Loki.

Which one is most likely to get into a fight on the other’s behalf

Loki by choice; Geralt by chance.

Which one is the most likely to bail the other out of jail?

Loki if only bc what mortal jail can hold Lokes

Who is more likely to initiate mischief of any kind? And does the other stand back and watch or try to stop them?

Again Loki’s whole Thing is mischief. Geralt would try and stop him if it was any way harmful, otherwise you bet he’s gonna watch.

Which one purposefully annoys the other one to see how long it takes for them to snap?

Loki most of the time but Geralt’s not above the odd long game of being a shit to see how indignant Loki can get.

Which ones gets protective because ‘only I’m allowed to bully you!’

Eeeeh I think they both really have that vibe of knowing one another can look after themselves, but Loki might get more protective r.e Geralt’s rep and witchers in general.

Who is the one to apologize first when things are pushed too far

Geralt.

Who one ups the other when they proclaim their love? (”no I love you more” “No I love you more.”)

Again they aren’t the sorts of characters really for that??? But I think Geralt’s more inclined towards sentimentality sooner.

Written for Day 5: Fluff of Codywan Week 2020 @codywanweek

Here on AO3

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Category: Multi Relationship: CC-2224 | Cody/Obi-Wan Kenobi Characters: CC-2224 | Cody, CT-7567 | Rex, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker Additional Tags: Background Padmé Amidala/CT-7567 | Rex/Anakin Skywalker, Implied/Referenced Future Rexsoka, GFY

For best results please look at this Rex and this Cody before reading.

“tribute”

Another one of the local little chompers marched towards the dais with all the solemnity and determination of a verd’ika plucking their first set of whites off the assembly line. Cody met Rex’s eye and they both very carefully avoided grinning at the sight. Not only could it be bad for their relationship with said locals, it wouldn’t do to let their Jedi think they were, in fact, having a good time up there.

When the kid came to a halt a ‘respectful’ distance away, Cody nodded for them to approach and bent his head to receive the kid’s blessing and subsequent gift. He watched Rex do the same.

The celebration had been going for hours, by that point, and they’d amassed a pile of shiny little wearable trinkets to give any sovereign of Naboo a run for their credits and enough blessings to make them holier than most deities. It’d been a relief, at the start of the night, to hear that—aside from the ceremonial outfits they’d been bullied into wearing—he and Rex were free to redistribute the gifts as they saw fit. Something about sharing luck, or good vibes, or what have you.

Said ceremonial outfits, on the other hand, they were obliged to keep and maintain with honor.

Obi-Wan had smoothed over any offense they’d given with their lacklustre reaction to the news but Rex’s general had been less than subtle in his delight at their new possessions. Tano, at least, had just told them they looked nice and kept her own mocking to a bare minimum.

And it wasn’t that they were grateful, Cody had reflected at the start of the celebration, when he and Rex had stepped out under the light of the moons to deafening cheers, but. It wasn’t quite their style, no matter how well the two of them pulled off the intricate, and admittedly beautiful, get-ups.

Rex, by dint of his Torrent paintjob, had been immediately deemed the locals’ Goddess of War come again and draped accordingly in layers of blue fabric. Some of it was dark and blaster-resistant and some of it pale and so sheer as to be almost nonexistent. Bands of silver, often studded with precious blue stones, were wrapped around his wrists, forearms, biceps, and throat, and a silver cap affixed with yet more jewels and a pale blue veil had been placed on his head with much reverence.

After a great deal of muttered debate, they determined that Cody must be their war deity’s twin, the Goddess of Beauty. Not an insult by any means…

The traditional garb he’d been presented with, by contrast, was deep red with a long flowing cape and headdress of heavy twisted fabric. It came with its own set of jewelry, as well, shining gold and polished red stones, bulky and eye-catching around his wrists and throat and slim and delicate around his forearms and biceps. Something about the placement was culturally significant, but hells if Cody was going to ask what.

They’d already lost the battle against: 1) staying for several days to rest and recuperate, 2) accepting the titles of living incarnations of their local deities and all the celebration that entailed, and 3) keeping both the get-ups and the gifts for themselves.

No way was Cody going to invite more conversation about their cultural practices. He could win against droids and bounty-hunters and half-baked Sith, but apparently, he couldn’t convince a bunch of over-awed, Mid Rim locals that he and Rex weren’t tools of War and Beauty.

Tools of the Republic, sure, but nothing divine.

The leader of the city they’d liberated had just smiled gently and reassured them that belief on their part was not necessary, only acceptance of their gratitude. Which came with lots of shiny metal, sparkly rocks, and a pair of gowns that they had to either accept or throw into a sacrificial fire and publicly reject.

Obi-Wan had stepped in at that point.

He’d assured everyone that they had no interest in disrespecting their culture and asked for a debrief about the ceremony.

Wear the outfits, sit on the thrones, and let people fawn over them at least a little bit, had basically been the long and short of it. But, hey, they were comfortably cushioned, well-fed, and kept hydrated throughout the whole thing, so it could have been worse. Sharp-toothed little ankle-biters shyly kissing their foreheads and handing them shiny bits and bobs before scampering off weren’t much of a hardship.

“How’re you fellas doing?” Skywalker asked, strolling up to the dais with a grin that had yet to falter all night. “Getting into the spirit of the thing? Really feeling the divinity flow through you?”

Plenty vode had wandered over to check on them over the course of the night, mostly to heckle, but the Jedi had visited just as frequently. And for similar reasons, too.

The way Rex’s general had been eyeing him all night, Cody was almost worried for Rex’s safety. He’d heard plenty of complaints from Obi-Wan about Skywalker’s willingness to eat damn near anything; who was to say that he hadn’t acquired a taste for Mandalorian-adjacent flesh and wouldn’t gobble poor Rex up in just a few bites.

He was pretty sure Commander Tano was having some kind of intermittent crisis over at their table as well.

It was his responsibility, as both Marshal Commander and ori’vod, to bring his concerns to his superior officer and then ruthlessly mock all three of them. After Skywalker eventually got tired of making Rex blush and wandered away whistling a jaunty tune to a very raunchy cantina song, that was.

“So does that ‘angel’ of his know the two of you have started sharing blankets since your last stop-over on Coruscant or should I start planning your funeral now?” Cody said archly, watching his vod’ika visibly consider punching him. “I’ll be sure to wear this and lie about how smart and good-looking you are, like a proper vod.”

Rex pressed a hand over his eyes and groaned. “Angel knows,” he admitted, darting an unsubtle glance at his general’s shebs. “What I am afraid of, though, is that next time we stop over on Coruscant she’s gonna have a whole new wardrobe just like this one and it will just happen to be in my size.”

“Well, hey, get a full-coverage veil and you’re probably good to step out with them,” Cody said with false sympathy, gleefully imagining the uproar that would cause. “Just make sure they’re made out of that fabric that’s designed to ruin holos. Pakod.”

The ol’ boy made a sound like a malfunctioning mouse-droid.

“Is it too much to believe that I’d like to spend whatever leave I get wearing as few clothes as possible?” he wailed, quietly, with a desperation that made Cody think this was an argument he and the senator had gotten into before. With this revelation in mind, he snapped a few holos of his own while Rex was distracted and vowed to get them to the senator if Skywalker’s brain cell was too lonely to manage it. “Isn’t it enough that I have this already?”

“Oh, dear me,” a low voice said from behind Cody’s left ear, “I can’t imagine how terrible it must be to have two attractive, attentive lovers who wish to shower you with tokens of their affection. Truly, Captain, your misery must be exquisite.”

Cody turned his head to press a sloppy kiss to Obi-Wan’s cheek in gratitude for the pitiful sound his words had drawn out of his favorite brother.

“General,” Rex whined pathetically, “they keep getting me plants. Alive ones, dead ones, prickly ones, poisonous ones. My quarters are being taken over by non-sentient invaders.”

Obi-Wan made a little noise of patently fake sympathy. “My old master’s quarters were like that as well,” he commiserated, pressing a kiss to the sensitive skin behind Cody’s ear. The noise of the locals around them changed in pitch, but Cody’d had enough to drink over the course of the evening to not feel worried by the change. If he was lucky, Obi-Wan would be shoved into a pretty outfit like this next. “It drove me mad that he never formally answered, let alone turned down, any of the suits. Just let the poor, smitten beings keep sending him gifts. So uncivilized.”

“Speaking of uncivilized,” Cody said, wondering if he could get away with pulling Obi-Wan down onto his lap.

Rex rolled his eyes. “If I don’t get to canoodle in public with my Jedi then you don’t get to with yours,” he huffed, leaning over to push Obi-Wan a few inches away. “Leave room for the Force, sirs.”

“‘Leave room for the Force’?” Obi-Wan repeated, nonplussed, while Cody found himself hung up on, “Canoodle?”

No longer quite so flustered, Rex shrugged. “Skywalker talks like a scandalized opera singer, sometimes, and Ahsoka says that when she catches the lads giving each other a tune-up. How’s the kid doing, by the way?”

“Well,” Obi-Wan said ruefully, “she’s seventeen and in the middle of a war and puberty. Thus far, I believe she’s coped by placing you all in the ‘dear friends and family whom deserve her utmost respect’ category of her mind, rather than allowing herself to see you as attractive young men. Tonight seems to be causing some kind of breakdown in that line of thinking.”

Cody turned to give Rex his full attention and clapped him on the shoulder. “Cheers, vod’ika, keep it up and you might have a full set soon!”

In response, Rex covered his face with both hands and groaned again.

“Remind me to send the good captain some appropriate literature about age of consent laws, would you, dear?” Obi-Wan murmured into his ear. He most assuredly was not leaving room for the Force between them. “Until then, I believe you mentioned being uncivilized?”

Cody made a mental note to remind him as requested before standing up, bowing at the local assembly, and following Obi-Wan wherever he led.

In the story of a game, i dint play but being told the plot. The big bad evil guy happens to be a Girl half possessed by a demonic entity, after the ending the girl lost her power and wanted to die, asking the hero of the game to kill her, the "hero" has already killed possessed and not possessed childs, (its a messed kind of a game) but decides that he wont relieve her of all she have done as she was possessed but still concious and in controll. So Kaim the "hero" walked her over all the places desolated, in ruins and all the pain she caused, watching over her not letting her leave, hide or suicide for 20 years. Kaim happens to be a Boss in the second game of the series.

That is some mythology vibe shit right there

It feels like that's different from the I do not forgive you thing I'm talking about. There's no punishment in the scene I'm specifically talking about, there's no justice made or anything like that.

I'm talking more about something personal against the protagonist, something that was maybe reasonable but not able to justify. Something where the only "punishment" is knowing that person you hurt is not going to be back wether you are now better or not, because that's how it works most of the time in real life situations.

[kim-drawings]

these are my vacation updates and i could only post them on my rp blog because the wifi there sucks. so have fune reading :3

leaving and arrival at parc.

(so lol still under way with the car. So we wanted to take a stop but thanks to mom we missed that stop and had to wait for an hour and a half for the next one. Funny thing is that everyone needed to go badly but not me XD. So anyways i just ate and we are back underway since we still have a long way to go)(welp we have arrived at the parc so see you guys laters oke?)(alright lol everyone is settled and we also installed the free wifi here. though its very slow and doesent react quickly. the house wasnt very well cleaned but the scenery is beautiful and near a lake. i love it. though i wish that my brothers gf would stop nagging about alot of things. she’s kinda bumming everyone out here. so i instantly ignore her. the dog is beeing very weird here but i geuss its normal since she hasnt travelled to anywhere in a long while. did some sketches in the car wich i am going to blackline and color in later, dont have a scanner so i’ll take pictures of it with my phone. hope you guys are having fun to x3)(soooooo we found the dome here wich is were the store’s are, the info center and the swimmingpool. tomorrow we are going to explore more and hopeffully the weather will stay dry and the dog will be more used to the new surroundings cause she’s panting like crazy. im actually looking forward to swim x3 even though i get shy everytime i go there. lol thats how i work aparantly XD. we discovered there is a zoo nearby, i wonder how that is like x3 cause i do wanna go there. i’ll be probably sketching things rick and morty related and maybey not XD. anyways i hope you’re all having fun to :3.)

day 1 (oke so last night was pretty crazy i swear. so first off all my brothers gf was to fucking afraid to do something about the spiders in her room. she dint want to wake mom who wasnt even sleeping yet, so she went to bother me and i had a headache and was tired from the trip. so she tried to do it herself with my brother but she kept screaming and yelling so my mom came and dealt with every spider that was there. so finally it was quiet again. well i already talked about those geese and about this morning so i can skip that. so i went shopping with mom, my brother and hiss gf and it was pretty fun. now we are resting and maybey we will swim today cause i really want to x3)(alright im back and imma do another update thing. so eum i did a morning one, after midday wasnt so spectacular since it was raining so we decided to go and swim after dinner. i was so exited. but once there i kinda got dissapointed since it wasnt as big as im used to when we go to centerparcs. buuuuut i just shoved those thoughts aside and just had some fun exploring wich wasnt so great actually. but i kept on looking for the positive things wich i did, there were even funny moments were either one of us got stuck on the wild water slide, because they dint put enough water in it, or because my brother did something fucking hilarious. anyways after exploring we just went to the outside pool, water was nice and warm like sheesh if you dint watch yourself you could fall asleep because of the warmth itself. but since we were outside the air feels a bit colder XD. when i was swimming and relaxing wich i love to do most of all in those pools. it felt peacefull and nice if you block out all the noise :3 . so after that we went back to our cottage or house and played some UNO EXTREME, and i won 3 times x3 hehehe, those who play fair win fairly more :3. it was fun but sadly enough after dinner i dint feel so good so it kinda influenced my mood but i just ignored it most of the time. now im relaxing while they play poker, i dont like playing poker with my brother and hiss gf because they take it to seriously wich then infects my dad and i dont need that, so i was glad i played UNO with them before they changed it to poker. i still have one sketch to finish from my car trip but that’ll be for tomorrow. my mom wants to plan sertain things for us to do wich is always fun :3.)

day 2 (so little update thing for today. so like yesterday the dog was awake at 07:00 again. i think she hass a hard time adjusting to her new enviroment, but thats oke my brother got up and took her outside and then stayed with her wich im glad he did because he finally shows some responcebillity for hiss dog. anyways the birds woke me up at 10:22 AM wich is good because i dont wanna sleep the rest of the day away. my brother made an error wich im not going into detail in, lets just say she wasnt happy at all and my brother got the harsh treatment. so anyways they went to walk the dog while me and mom went to walk around discovering things some more. we found the little petting zoo, i believe thats how they call it in english. anyways so it was alot of fun and we found out they keep racoons there to that are not fit for the wild anymore. they arent tame but they arent fit for the wild anymore. thats all the explanation gave us. but i swear that fluffy one kinda reminded me of a rick. x3, later we are going to an evening market)(another update thing of today. so i went to an evening market here andit was fun. i also saw an old lady painting beautiful things onto candles and wooden shoe’s and i couldnt help but compliment her. she was so sweet and kind and overly happy that we liked her art. we also bought some of her stuff. she was so happy. so once we came back we played uno during almost the rest of the evening wich is also the reason of my abscence. so im sorry for my dissapearance. but i had fun playing uno, i laughed alot wich in turn will be bad for my voice in the morning XD.)

day 3 (so i know i dint do an update part thingy today and the reason for that is because most of the day i was on my laptop or drawing because it was rainning. so we couldnt do much during the day. also i really hate my brothersince he’s infected everyone in here with hiss cold and he doesent even wanna put hiss hand infront of hiss mouth when he coughs. ontop of that my brothers gf got infected because of him and im still in the clear yay for me x3. he’s been sick since monday but dint wanna get medication for it until tuesday when we went shopping with mom. anyways so they both have been so annoying and ruining alot of great moments with their negativity. thats why i told mom and dad that i dint want them with us because they have this thing to turn everything into a negative thing especially hiss gf. like today she was telling how much beeing in fashion was important and all. my parents told her that its not that important and that people are wearing clothes that they are feeling comofrotable in these days and she is right. but the gf just told my parents they were old fashioned and stuff and that people should think about fashion because it makes them look cooler and such and that it is important. until i opend my mouth and told her that they arent old fashioned, she is because of the way she is thinking and that she needs to get her nose out of the expensive clothing and judgemental negative thoughts and look around herself. alot of people are wearing the clothing they feel comfortable in these days, wether it is fashionable or not, wether its expensive or not. boy did she dim down he fucking mouth cause i swear she was bad mouthing my parents, infront of them, infront of my useless brother who cant even open hiss mouth to her and infront of me. anyways so i tried blocking her out with music, wich helped but then we had to go and get pizaa from the dome. like we went to get some information on how it works, does it get delivered or not. so we got the information but i wanted to go shopping peacefully since we had an hour before they start making pizza’s. but my fucking brother and hiss gf had to nag about choosing a pizza now in the bussy and loud house of games. they decided their pizza’s mom did to but i told them i wanna go back into the dome where its peacefull and quieter. so finally went out of the house of games and i could read the fucking menu we got from the bar. i decided on a pizza and told mom we should go shopping. the shopping calmed me down alot since they shut their mouths. so after shopping we ordered some pizza to take home and went home. we ate the pizza and i dint feel so good afterwards. idk what they did with the pizza but it made me feel so freaking bad. so i just wanted to draw peacefully and listen to some music before we went bowling. but she wanted to play uno again and it was only 30 minutes before we had to leave back to the house of games. like seriously she dint have the patience to relax and wait. so we went bowling and it was alotta fun. it made my stress go away and i laughed alot. we went to drink at a restaurant and i also ate some ice cream wich was yummy. we went hom and i went straight to my bedroom to relax and draw and that was my day. today wasnt so much fun as yesterday but i try to block out their negative behavior to make it a happy day x3)

day 4 (oke another update thingy. so today was another rainy day but i woke up in a happy mood. my brother and hiss gf were giving alot of negative vibes again and their attitude was negative. but then we went for a swim and it was all nice and relaxed and funny. but we stayed in the pool for like 4 hours and i felt drained and weak. i was shaking softly and overall not so good. we went grocery shopping before we came home. i ate a brownie and a muffin now. but still feeling a bit weak but atleest alot more relaxed and happy. i also discovered that my parents were also having enough of my brother and hiss gf’s bad attitude and such but they are doing what im doing and thats trying not to get affected by them. they are still sick but atleest taking their meds. we are going to a dinner thing at 18:00 soon)(so we went to this restaurant were you can get and choose the food yourself, but there wasnt much to choose from like holy shit. i was like ‘is this it?’ like normally with this open buffet thing you can choose from 3 different categories or even more but mostly its 3 for the warm food, also soup and in the middle cold food. but this was more everything to do with barbique and also a tiny bit of cold food and alot of fries. i dint eat much so i had room for dessert. wich wasnt alot either. like not much fruit , more soft ice cream with sprinkles and some cookies and marshmallows and a chocolate fountain. i dint mind though since i like marshmallows and the chocolate fountain x3. i ate well but i just hated it that you have to pay extra for softdrinks while tea and coffee are included with you’re reservation. we ended up paying 110 euro’s for 4 people pluse 2 softdrinks. softdrinks here are fantas, coca cola, soda and such stuff. anyways we got home and i just wanted to relax in the bedroom cause damn my stumach had a hard time digesting XD. so my bro and hiss gf and my parents played poker again. i dont like playing poker with them cause they take the game waaaaaaaaay to seriously and i dont know so well how to play the game well so i avoided playing that game with them. the other games are fine but not the poker one. anyways thats why i was online so much in the evening and even a bit during the night. i also found a new brand of cider to drink, it only hass like 5 procent alcohol in it. wich is great cause i dont like to drink high percentages of alcohol :P i can always taste the alcohol through the other tastes + i love sweet types of alcohol to. anyways i had tons of fun and beeing on here distracted me from the other two who were coughing themselves blus, sort to speak)

day 5 (so today was a good day. i woke up with a happy feeling. i went for a 3 or 4 hour dog walk with mom. wich was great because she could vent out to me about my brother and hiss gf’s actions and how sick and tired she was getting. like for instance if you know you’re going on vacation tell the people that are helping you get a job that you’re on a 2 week vacation so you can relax. but she dint and hass been nagging about not getting any wifi for work related things, while we are looking at her like ‘are you stupid or something or just ignorent’ anyways, she vented out i vented out, we saw alot of doggies to there and some baby ducks and baby water chickens. it was so much fun. after that i drew a little bit, then we went to eat at the pancake house. i must say i was dissapointed. they dint let the pancakes fully bake so it looked like a pancake but once you cut into the pancake you could see it wasnt fully baked. im glad i actually survived that D: lol. so we went to the souvenir store again. bought another cute souvenir. once home i’ll take some pictures of them and post them on here or on my art blog, better on my art blog cause i have some pretty scenery pictures and all. anyways so we went home and i went drawing again and beeing on here x3. because they wanted to do poker again and i dont like playing poker with my brothers gf cause she seriously takes the whole thing to serious and that makes it no fun at all. i never told them why i dont wanna poker everytime they wanna poker, so my brother and hiss gf finally asked but i just dint reply cause im not obliged to do so XD. but atleest i could finish my drawings x3. )

day 6 (alrighty im back from swimmng. so gonna do an update of today wich is the last day. we are going to leave tomorrow in the morning. so morning nothing special, i got woken up at 10:00 AM by some kids who were playing outside, but i heard things better on the right side of this bedroom since the window is there XD. also the dog was beeing a smart little girl since she whined to me to go outside so i let her outside on a leash since i dont want her to chase those pack of geese XD, but thats not the smart part, the smart part is because aparantly she already was let outside to do her thing at 07:00 AM XD. so yeah lol. we had breakfast but we dint know what to do afterwards since they dont present so many activities here for adults at this parc since the other parc’s do. so i suggested to go to the house of games. we spend a few hours in there playing one game there wich was fun cause mom was there and she was getting slightly exited about this game. XD then my brother and hiss gf found us and we played a bit of billiarts me vs my brother we hiss gf and mom made a few pictures i really wanna see but that will happen tomorrow. i also drew a but before the house of games and posted it. we came home we ate and relaxed a bit as i drew a little bit again. we went swimming for 1 or 2 hours and a half. it was very relaxing and we had those waves again. whenever i get relaxed mentally and fysicly i somethimes go to fantasy mode lol. and during the waves i was like ‘omg that would be so cute if Morticia went here  along with Ace, Katherine, @daycare-miami-r-ick and @ricktactoe and hiss morty. whenever Morticia is swayed along the wave towards @daycare-miami-r-ick she would push him under water and then swim away giggeling alot and i bett he would’ve caught her and did something silly to her’ XD dont ask why my brain just does that oke. anyways during the swim a guy came up behind me grabbing and fondling my breasts before laughing hard and swimming away. im not a fast swimmer so i stood there kinda scared and violated buuuuuut my brother XD my brother XD he swims alot fast then i can so he saw what happend aparantly and he swam after the guy yelling ‘YOU SON OF A BITCH HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY BIG SISTER LIKE THAT’ i swear he caught him and beat him up even though i wanted to do that to i would’ve gone to one of the poolwatchers there of what happend instead of beating him up. but eventually i had to cause the guy tried to get my brother banned from the pool but i told this poolwatcher lady what happend and aparantly i had to go with her and say my statement again and they had to ask that guys name and aparantly he did this to 5 other women in the diffrent pools there and he got banned from the pool so he had to go change and leave. i swear that moment when my brother zoomed by it was kinda like a Morticia and @daycare-miami-r-ick moment there seriously. so we swam some more and i relaxed again. we got some icecream after swimming and then went straight to the cottage x3)

leaving parc (this one is from today)

(update lol. so today i stood up at 08:30 AM with my parents we all could leave at 09:00 AM since we packed up everything already. but geuss who decided to stay asleep until 09:30 AM and still had to pack their things? yeah my brother and hiss gf. so eventually we left around 10:00 AM and decided to let my brother take the lead with hiss car since he sais that hiss gps is better then our dads. it fucking isnt. he did 2 pitstops, one at 10:15AM and the other at 12:20 AM. my dads gps said that we would arrive at that time but thanks to my brothers gps and hiss 2 pitstops we ended up home at 13:30 PM. atleest i slept for an hour in the car cause i was tired. anyways we unpacked the dog was acting up again due to the change again. i unpacked my stuff im still organizing a little bit. gonna put all the updates on my other blog since the wifi there sucked i could only post the updates on here. so imma scan the drawings i made and post them on my art blog to and then imma take pictures of all the souvenirs and post them there to along with some other pictures i see fit to post there. the rest of the week i still have vacation so imma see if i cant do some drawings because i’ve been procrastinating on a few. :P)

After about 4weeks of building up the courage I finally talked to my crush after class. She has beautiful eyes, shes quiet in class and only talks to one person who she sits next to(another girl). She gives a vibe of a respectable young lady, like the type of girl who is focused, not too wild. I engage alot with the lecture when the teacher asks questions, in order to seem confident. We have art appreciation together and she stayed after class looking at paintings that are displayed, since we had an assignment to analyze a painting of our choice. I went up to her while she was looking at a painting and said: "Are you going to choose that one?" She replied: "I dont know yet" or something close to that, I dont remember quite well because it was all a blur and I was super nervous and was concentrating on not dying. I asked her what her name was (I already knew what it was lol) then I told her mine. As expected she couldn't pronounce it right, since my name is uncommon. We chatted no more than 4 minutes and I ended the conversation with: "well Ill see you later...I have to go to work" and that was that. She didn't seem very reseptive to me, she did make eye contact but she would also look down. It didn't go as I planned but it felt good to finally talk to her. I hope she dint notice how super nervous I was (she probably did). Im not the most attractive but Im definitely not ugly. Id say im an 8 or 7 idk lol. I did win cutest boy in school in my senior year in highschool so at least I know im not ugly lol. But I just wanted to know what should I do next after the initial contact? I dont want to mess this up by rushing things, but also I dont want to be put in the friendzone. Guys that have been in the same situation, how did you lead it into a relationship? And girls in your perspective, did I ruin my chance by being nervous or how should I progress this in your opinion? via /r/dating_advice
