Welcome back, master of the worst plans.

Glad Sanremo is happening so I don't have to deal with some of the streamers I usually watch trying to justify playing Hogwarts Legacy and having long talks about how important trans rights are to them while supporting terfs

I'm playing through Dragon Age 2 again and I just can't get over how... idk how to say it exactly, but the way you feel, in every moment of this game, how much Varric loves Hawke. It feels entwined with everything, it breathes through every part of the narrative, it blooms diegetigally through the integration of story and gameplay, makes you a co-conspirator in that love in a way maybe only a video game could.

It's in the way I don't think this story is a defense of Hawke only -- or even primarily -- directed at Cassandra, but at Hawke themselves. Beneath everything else going on there's the quiet, utterly unshakable refutation of Hawke's worst fears: Did you think you mattered, Hawke? Did you think anything you ever did mattered? . . . You're a failure, and your family died knowing it. Rising through the story as Varric tells it there's a fiercely tender voice saying: Yes, you did matter. In tragedy or in triumph, for better or for worse, in love or in hate, you always mattered. The ultimate tragedy of Hawke is always right there in the open before the story even starts letting you in on telling it; they couldn't fix anything. They couldn't stop the downward spiral Kirkwall was set on -- the real truth is that no one person ever could. And yet the point of DA2 is that it matters that they tried, and it matters that there were people who loved and were loved along the way, however badly it all failed in the end. Hawke is the Bioware protagonist who succeeds the least, and they're the character who matters the most, to me. (This is also why the Absolution reveal did not shake me in the least haha, my love for Hawke has nothing at all to do with whether they succeeded or failed at anything.)

What Varric is saying, in the only way he seems to be able to say the really real things -- through stories -- is so simple and so fundamental. You were here, and I loved you. There's the emotional heart of it, at the end of it all, that love and grief and recognition. It's so dizzyingly intimate. There's so much distancing, layers upon layers of obfuscation, to be able to say it. It drives me insane!!!! It makes me feel the same way that 'Poem' by Langston Hughes does:

I loved my friend.  He went away from me.  There's nothing more to say.  The poem ends,  Soft as it began,— I loved my friend. 

He loved his friend. They went away from him. What more is there to say. (Many, many, many things, when you're a compulsive liar and storyteller, but hey sometimes you have to deploy a whole armada of lies to tell one simple truth, I understand, I'm a writer too lol)

maomao getting stuck on the fact that jinshi let any woman other than suiren or herself near him to get his hair done despite knowing all too well that woman is a canonical lesbian is just so so so important to me

I thought that Yog Sothoth aka Francis Mosses' nightmare mode counterpart is a vampire priest because of his shirt. Here is the origin of Father Yog Sothoth. Enjoy :P

I don't often post my non kink related art but I'm tryna get the attention of someone else in the community and am too shy and cringe to reach out so. Here, have this portrait I did of Hanzo Shimada. With my finger. On ibis paint. This took me four hours. Progress for proof below.

If I had a nickel for every time i watched a horny tv show with an explicit name, full of sex scenes, yet it presents sex as more objective, a study subject. And then it also turned out to have the best written characters you'll ever see on tv. The best character growth for the pathetic little wet cardboard of a male protagonist (which continues to be pathetic until the end but now with more depth). And also makes me fall in love with an objectively shitty man... I'd have two nickels, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice lol

The Pornographer series has joined my list of best written characters right up there with Masters of Sex. I cannot express how much I love this show. I'm obsessed, I will not shut up about it.

So tired of AI art leaking into every facet of my online experience. It's in youtube thumbnails. It's half the available designs of the puzzle games I play. It's headers on articles. It's clogging up art tags everywhere.

There's like this intense urge to make us accept this as normal and I just can't. It's ugly. I have all my ethical issues with it but at the end of the day I just have this innate, automatic disgust reaction to it. Seeing it everywhere makes me feel like my corner of the internet, the usable corner, is shrinking. It's like it glows bright red on the screen and I don't even want to look at it, especially not when you're trying to quietly insert it into my online space as if I won't notice. I wish there was a browser extension that could filter out every AI image from my screen.
