#join me won't you?

I've seen some chatter about how Astarion's family and friends might still be around if they're elves, but everyone seems to forget that vampires are evil (in d&d) and while spawn appear to still retain their humanity you're average citizen is going to stab first and ask questions later.

Astarion's family thinks he is dead. If he turns up on their doorstep, it's unlikely that they'll be happy about it.

BUT, for 200 years, he was moving around the same streets as his old family and friends. Did he ever see them in passing? Did he try to find out how they were doing? How much could he wander Baldur's Gate, or did Cazador only let them go so far? Was Cazador aware of where his spawn were at all times so it wasn't worth the risk? Did Astarion just never see them again and forget them? Did he choose to forget them on purpose? He wanted to be saved but was enslaved instead; did he decide it was better for everyone to believe he was dead?

Imagine you're in the world of Transformers. Imagine you woke up randomly in the med bay and you're a giant robot.

You don't know which version of Transformers this is, the movies or the TV series or the comics? You don't know.

But you need to pick a faction and join it right now.

zoro but he comes back from kuraigana with painted nails and eyeshadow because letting perona do his nails and stuff while she rambled on about something or other was oddly relaxing and helped take his mind off of the constant feeling that he should be back with his crew, and after a few days on the sunny he realized he misses it and so he asks nami to do it.

also, usopp is there because you can't tell me that nami and usopp wouldn't sit and gossip together. zoro doesn't say much, but he enjoys the company.

so if solas sees himself in the inquisitor because of how they were made a leader, a prophet and a symbol by people who followed them, just as fen'harel had been made a leader and a saviour for by the freed elven slaves, will he see himself in rook because they're left alone against the threat they can't possibly defeat without singlehandedly making decisions that will impact the world in unknown ways, just as fen'harel had been left alone against evanuris with no other option but to create the veil

You really will do anything to hurt me, won't you? So… what are you and William cooking up? Hmm? Maybe you two brought that supervillain to town.

I will not hear of any criticism of the narrative choice this episode made because I understand narrative parallels. Hope this helps <3

The scene where WoTW and Howl were running across the yard might have been so confusing and creepy though the Megan's point of view.

Imagine sitting at home, minding your business, washing dishes or playing in the yard, and suddenly this weird-looking lady, dressed as she just escaped from some kind of really unique and rich troop, wearing a dark, gorgeous, medieval-like dress and high heels, that's almost impossible to buy at the store nowadays just... appears before your eyes.

She stands on the grass, leaning on the swing and you're already reaching for your home phone to call the police because how the hell did she find a way into your house?? Except you didn't have enough time to do it because right after that some kind of weird, physical force starts dragging you to this strange, creepy woman, and you want to tell her to go to hell with her stupid tricks, but you can't.

And you kids, waking right alongside you, cannot do anything, too. You can't all possibly be mad, can you?

An when it starts to get even weirder and unavoidable, your jobless, potential-losing piece of a brother, comes into a scene, jumping through the damn fence, dressed in the same weird-looking costume, as If he escaped the same wery troupe (seriously, If you weren't so worried about your kids and unnatural forces right now, you'd think what would happen If people saw this atrociously long sleeves and eye-burning colours), and just...runs at the mysterious woman right away, dragging away your daughter in some kind of sport-like movement. Your brother and the woman then start running across the yard in the most ridiculous way possible.

The force stops. Your brother and the woman go out of sight. You take your kids into the house and pretend this never, ever happened in your lifes.

Why do I feel like if I had to choose and enemies to lovers plot with Galadriel (Since Celeborn isn't here yet) I would choose Adar as the love interest over Sauron?

It's deeply important to me that Loop kind of sucks

Curtis broke the election news to Royal before school on Wednesday. We both were a little apprehensive about the climate. I would have been completely open to letting Royal stay home if they wanted to. Instead, Royal said, "Well. That sucks." and then, "A few people will be pumped. A lot of people will be very bummed. Most people won't care at all." I honestly think they summed up the whole country with that. They have spent the week carrying a little notepad to tally the number of premature Christmas songs they hear at school. Most of the merry aggression is actually coming from their friends, deliberately trying to annoy them. Incidentally, did you know Michael Buble covered "Santa Baby" and it's super fucking weird?

I already culled most of my fascist idiot people during the last go round, so I actually haven't seen too much trumpeting this week. I, too, noticed that ALL the campaign signs went away the next day, even his, which has never, ever happened before. Part of me wonders how many people pulled an accidental Brexit situation, voting for Trump while never expecting he would actually win again. (You know. In addition to all the dick driplets who just didn't vote at all.) But, my cousin, who ordinarily has been very quiet about her politics, changed her profile pic to a selfie of her in front of Trump Tower. And allll the nieces and nephews heart reacted to it. And it just. Stung. Like. I already knew you thought we were godless weirdos. But now you've shown me that you actually just DO NOT care about me or my kid AT ALL. Her husband TAUGHT my kid. And he hearted her new pic. So if anyone would like a holiday card in the mail, two new slots on my list just opened up.

One of my old high school classmates is very Christian, but is also very openly vocal about how Trump and his followers are NOT Christian, and are in fact horrible people. And another one of our old classmates brought the clown show to her comments. She told him, "He literally said he wants to be a dictator." And Clown Boy, who is a line cook at the casino, so he knows what he is talking about and definitely does not need to look up the word "dictator" in a picture dictionary, said, "he's smart enough to be. Anyone could be if they tried hard enough. We live in a country where you can accomplish anything if you work for it." And I'm torn between saying nothing, laugh reacting and replying with clown emojis, or simply commenting, "When you see the people who come to his defense on Facebook, 'smart enough to be a dictator over them' is not exactly a high bar." Don't worry, I would immediately block him after commenting. I'm not a masochist.

I don't hate Christians. I don't even hate idiots. I just hate people who act to hurt you and then act like they're doing you a favor. I'm not going to waste my time trying to change anyone's mind or """educate""" them. But I also don't feel obligated to be nice or polite to them anymore. You get what you give, fuckarino.

This is far from my best work, but it's 1:30am, and I needed to get this down before I slept or lost my mind. So here, take a snippet of Rook seeing Zara again for the first time in 3 years.

Trying, and failing, to keep his voice from shaking, [Rook] said “Hello, Captain.” Mouth still open in surprise, [Zara] replied “Well, hello yourself.” The reality of what she was seeing seemed to hit her as she rounded the desk. “Rook, is that really you?” He nodded. “It’s me.” Zara ran towards him, stopping just short of touching him, and said “What did she do to you?” Rook’s heart stuttered and he had to brush his fingers together to confirm Sigmar’s ring was still in place. Could she possibly see through its illusion? But then he remembered what Lanny had said. She knew where you were. His throat clenched and he choked out “Two years.” A wave of grief swept across Zara’s face as she said “I’m so, so sorry.” Rook shook his head vigorously. “It’s not your fault.” Zara ignored him. “It is my fault. I failed you. As your captain, it’s my responsibility to keep you safe, and I failed you.” Rook wanted to say something, to reassure her, but she pushed on. “She sent me letters, told me all the terrible things she was doing to you. I… I let you down.” Those words hit Rook with the force of a dozen cannonballs. Lanny had said that Zara knew Wolf had him, but knowing that Zara had been aware of what Wolf was doing to him… somehow that was more painful than any wound Wolf had ever inflicted. He barely managed to force his next words out around the lump in his throat. “Where were you?” And why didn’t you come? “She said she’d kill you if I came to get you. Or if I hired anyone to get you. You’re standing here because I stopped sailing.” 

(honorary one-time tag for @space-writes bc I remember you enjoyed my other bits about Rook and Zara.)
