Watched Castlevania: Nocturne today

What a delightful little show, just what I needed. Saw several men so beautiful I started crying, gonna go on a nice hunt for pretty, pretty pictures of Edouard and Olrox, and maybe a screengrab of that cute little ginger girl dressed as Liberty for an avatar on Discord.

To more seasons! To Annette and Maria and Richter!

i cant get over the ball being so CLEARLY all for crowley i can't get over aziraphale trying to woo him with a WHOLE FUCKING BALL because that's what he knows that's what romance IS for him because he's been wanting to dance with crowley ever since dancing was invented and he's so stuck in time with the way he dresses and talks and he still thinks a dance is the high of romance AND HE MADE A WHOLE ENTIRE FUCKING BALL FOR CROWLEY JUST SO HE COULD DANCE WITH HIM like now it's so fucking obvious he gave away his BOOKS without a second thought and it was all for crowley he organised a whole JANE AUSTEN THEME BALL just so he could have an excuse to finally dance with the love of his life and i can't get over this i'm shaking my fists and pacing up and down he did not give a single fuck about anything other than dancing with crowley and HE BARELY TOUCHED OTHER PEOPLE'S HANDS WHILE HIS WHOLE FUCKING PALM WAS PRESSED TO CROWLEY'S AND i need to lie down

The Girl Who Slept Through Time!

Been playing a lot of Skyrim during breaks from studying/working and DAMNNN it feels good to be back brooo

Anyways here are sum notes on my oc Ameth’s intro :)

General of a band of soldiers from times past. On a trip to the Haafingar region, they got caught in a deadly skirmish. Markus, her second-in-command (also wildly in love with her HAHHAAH ok childhood crush trope), took her to safety to a small fort and tended to her wounds there

Ameth was passed tf out. As an act of final goodbye, Markus took off his necklace, kissed it, and clasped it around her neck. He told her his true feelings and left to join his brothers and sisters in defending. Before shutting the door behind him, Markus saw a statue of Mara in the room with Ameth. He prayed fervently before it, asking Lady Mara for her protection for his beloved Ameth.

(HAHAHHA SEE THIS IS CONNECTED TO THE ALTERNATE START MOD)

Mara granted Markus’ wish for Ameth and kept the young general safe from the world. The abandoned prison became both her home and her tomb for many centuries. As time went by, the magic gradually weakened. Finally in the present, a band of Thalmor soldiers turned the abandoned prison into their temporary holding space for their prisoner — Kaidan

Now awakened from the deepest of slumbers, Ameth faces an unknown world. The Thalmor soldiers who found her also kept her hostage for the meantime because of her strange, unknown armor (“Which faction do you fight for?!” “Under what banner do you march for?!”)

In short, Ameth was still too weak to fend for herself. So, she and Kaidan banded together to escape the wrath of the Thalmor. Somewhere along the line, they teamed up with another unlikely ally — Taliesin, an ex-Thalmor

MAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN this is such a fun run so far. I update my partner about the Skyrim adventures Ameth and the gang were having lmfao because he treats my playthrough as an actual show with different arcs 😭☝️ when i was doing the bards’ college quest line, we called it the “broke college student arc” (the gang only had 17 gold in between them at all times thanks to ameth’s newfound gambling tendencies because college books were expensive as fuck and the loans are crazy)

anyways I want to draw more of their interactions with each other :^)

Friday

I've been on a kick of just shuffling my Liked Songs when I want to listen to music and like, wow, what variety! A few weeks ago I did nerd stuff and liked a couple thousand songs in Spotify that were once in my iTunes library, and it's been great to hear even more random stuff I haven't heard in ages.

A week ago I was pretty certain about moving, but now I'm waffling. There is literally nothing forcing me to do this. The job market is… not great. If I stay there's a good chance I'll gain experience with things that would be good to have on a resume. But if I don't go now, then when? I can make excuses to stay here forever. Something something do it scared? I don't know. I have a little more time to figure it out.

Apparently the apartment building is settling and that means they need to rip up my floor and patch a crack in the slab that runs the length of my living room. lol

"I had trouble accepting the unlikely friendships and respect the heroine was given, considering the actual position of women in that era." My dude, it's historical fiction. Suspend disbelief and roll with it.

tfw they genuinely love you as your equal

Me when I realize that Alina ended up with a man that slut-shamed her, didn't accept her as she is (with her powers and status), fucked around girls knowing that Alina knew, didn't stop his friends from bullying her and made her feel guilty for being happy and healthy:

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”

As I am currently using this mod to infuse my honour mode light domain cleric playthrough with some RP flavour, here's a makeup/tattoo breakdown of Isobel from the character creator because I've seen people be curious about it. Also because I Just Think She's Neat and I also find it absolutely wild of her to have her holy symbol tattooed around her eyes, including on her eyelids. Just Cleric Things(TM).

Anyway, I left her with the smudged runny messy makeup because, I don't know, feels iconic.

There are also some cool refs of her and her outfit here.

i legit love when a character's gender is so integral to their personality (and perception obviously.) like so concrete that if genderbent their whole shtick would just be absolute dookie. anyways i'm just writing this text so i can talk in the tags (My beautiful safe haven)

Fucking love fandoms of stuff based on Christian mythology because you get folks who in the interest of creating more accurate nuanced fanfiction and theories about their biblical blorbos will straight up become scholars of theological texts for funsies

Hello kids, today I’d like to preach to you about the deep eroticism of The Fight, because warriormale literally lives in my mind and compels me to speak.

When Ram and Bheem wrestle outside the governor’s palace, they are releasing so much sexual energy, it’s actually insane. Hell, even before the wrestling, when they’re exchanging punches, there’s this sizzling tension that they’re both too heartbroken to actually think about, but it comes out subconsciously, in how their bodies react to each other. Bheem takes each punch standing up, then fuckin smacks the shit out of Ram, knocking him to the ground, showing his dominance. Ram whips his head to the side to LEER at Bheem before deciding his next attack.

And what is his next attack? TO CLIMB UP BHEEM’S THIGH and THROW HIM TO THE GROUND so he can MOUNT HIM. Bheem does not kick out of this hold or push Ram’s body away, he ROLLS OVER, TANGLING HIS LEGS with Ram’s, keeping him close. He refuses to go on the defensive, he must stay on the attack, to overpower Ram with the strength of his thighs. This need, this primal masculine aggression, is shared by both men as they continue rolling over each other. It is such an intricate ritual!

They are so deeply, intimately familiar with each other’s bodies. Think of how Bheem yanks open Ram’s legs so he can get right between his thighs. He knows where Ram bends and folds. He’s been here before. Think of how Bheem shoves his hand over Ram’s face to hold him down, covering his lips and nose, feeling his heat and insisting upon his submission. Think of how Bheem LIFTS RAM UP dirty-dancing-style to twirl him around, embraced by his thighs, testosterone spiking like adrenaline.

There’s a raw physicality that is shared between sex and combat that’s difficult to describe to those who don’t feel it. It is so primitive, so base, it defies logic. Ram and Bheem have absolutely no reason to be turned on during this fight. They’re both utterly heartbroken, to a point where they’re basically dying inside. And yet their bodies tingle with desire; the desire to touch, smack, yank, bite, grab, hug, roll, spread, fuck. They can’t help it! That’s why they fight so close and tight, because the magnetism pulling them together is stronger than the betrayal tearing them apart.

Absolutely nobody on this earth can convince me that I’m wrong!

do think shri’iia will be In Denial about a lot of things in the surface at first, especially the existence of other gods. to shri’iia, the only goddess that has ever existed was lolth and no one else - or no one else worth noting anyway. so for her to learn that other gods existed like selune, mystra or shar she’s going to be deeply confused and will be rejecting that idea tbh. shri’iia will just think that because the surfacers weren’t fortunate enough to be favoured by lolth, they had to invent some other gods to compensate for what they’re missing, or something. she would not think their devotion to their own gods are as genuine as to how drows reveres lolth because their gods aren’t true gods compared to Her. they are only playing pretend, and are clearly misguided and lost and frankly it is so sad to see.

and thinking about how baffled she would be in the surface because it is soo different to how it was described to her that she will think they’re playing some trick on her, waiting for her to lower her own guard before they will strike. she is waiting for someone to turn on her, to sink a knife on her back when she is turned but ofc that never happens so she just stands there, tense and coiled like some prey animal. and she’s also half expecting the sun to come crashing down because she doesn’t understand how it’s existing up there.

Marvel, those bastards, they actually fucking did it
