#more lines tomorrow if I remember

[adozentothedawn]

Yesterday I promised voice lines for a specific character and I am keeping my word! Here an eclectic selection of Waidwen voice lines. (Although there are disappointingly if understandably few in the first place.)

underrated dynamic i think is peter and dave’s implied rivalry. like they have History

i like to think that since peter was so strangely good at his job the company wasn’t eager to lose him and kept reusing him for many different locations even if multiple closed down. and those locations ended up with dave at them a LOT. we know that dave filled One of them with hot cheese. and peter is at least aware of dave’s crucifixion. and dave knows him well enough by the time he’s building the fazbunker that he knows about his fear of clowns and red-haired girls (dee……). dave hated Him in particular

i think not enough is done with this it could be Such a fun dynamic they HATE each other. Worsties you could say. opposites subtract

As always I’m trying to connect my interests in any way I can. So I was thinking of somehow matching the lines from this verse of mayday by chonny jash to the grotethe crew.

My first thought was chip fully relapsing into his assassin ways for the addict lines. Matilde being the Icarus lines bc birds and wings and such. But that feels a bit shallow. And then elga as the hercules and Barney as atlas. For Barney atlas would also maybe make sense because of his age the first (optional) line would work but idk.

I had some other combinations of lines and characters but I can’t recall them rn sorry

I do think Withers has a really subtle background character arc in bg3. Because at the start it is really clear he doesn't want to be here and he's being forced to clean up his mess by Helm and probably Ao. He doesn't really care either. Everything ends so nothing really matters, he'd like to go back to his paperwork now please.

Except he's stuck babysitting a bunch of traumatized dumbasses as they stumble into dealing with the most recent bad idea of his three fuck-up disappointments. So he brings them back when they die for a pittance, lets them pay for some vengeful ghosts to come back as flesh and blood to wreak bloody vengeance on the Absolute, and starts to... comment, on what's going on, as he follows them on their adventure.

Next thing you know Withers is like, doing things unprompted. He refuses to bring back Alfira (or Quil) but that's an act of compassion, keeping the poor girl from the Urge and letting her rest, his actual duty as a god of death. He tells Arabella to follow her destiny and does that thing to make her grief go away which honestly freaks me out but seems to be him trying to help her. He shows up at Moonrise and prompts us to consider why the Dead Three would want a bunch of soulless illithids that would give them no power, getting us to think of the big picture.

And by the end (especially if you do a resist!Durge playthrough) Withers is actively interfering and seems genuinely invested! He brings Durge back from the dead, free of their father! He encourages us before the final fight with the Netherbrain! He's real fucking smug that the Dead Three lost when he never seemed to care about the destruction they caused before! He throws a reunion party and many of his lines are genuinely touching or kind! Especially if a companion died permanently! He has tea with Gale's mom and Tara! He's like, socializing and shit! Yes, everything is temporary and we all die, but there's great beauty in fighting for that precious time and living it to the fullest!

Basically Wither's character arc is this meme, all because Helm made him go outside and touch grass.

Scalpel and gel working, along with guidelines for both incisions and excisions! With this there's now 4 tools, so my next step will be to implement the tool wheel for smoother tool switching. Also, the scalpel's collision detection can skip over things if you move it too fast. Gotta fix that tomorrow.

also riawin timeloop ("canon compliant" (still focusing on character so not canon compliant in that way)) ft. the attempts to make things work but that only goes Winston? more like Win State over giving up on that b/c he's in a situation where no matter what he does the other person chooses to see him as a nonperson (so canon compliant it's barely an au. the role sure exited the iterative loop upon giving up on all that (not possible to Win (the final Lose is others killing him))

𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐕. My energy levels waned quicker than I thought, so that will be it for today's activity— I seriously hope to adjust soon enough so I can do more without dying to get into bed and hibernate until it's time to wake up and go to class again. But! While I said I wouldn't indulge much the thought of something I read in Princess Mina of the Fallen Nation, I did start to think of it as something actually plausible in regards of Khaenri'ah.

Considering how deeply ingrained was the devotion to the Abyss in the society (at least in higher spheres concerning nobility which I'm sure Dain also touches onto as well as other Black Serpent Knights depending on who they're tasked to guard), I think it's very hard at this point to run with the belief that sussy things happened in the background and no one of those who don't agree with this noticed, which I firmly believe Dain would be included due to the way he lamented so much Khaenri'ah's fall. Even more so when all of a sudden a stranger comes "from the Abyss" and becomes the kingdom's prince(ss).

So, the one thing that I will address is:

"'This will all end as long as we defeat the evil overlords.' That's what we believed then. Naive fools that we were — that was just the beginning of the nightmare." "The thirteen samurai banded together to defeat the Nakura Daimyo who had been destroying this nation." "But Kogami did not revive with the Daimyo gone, and the life-force of the land continued to bleed away." "Not only that — Kogami, now bereft of its ruler, became a paradise for those who would plunder it." "The heroes who had defeated the wicked overlord could not protect it in the end either."

Thinking about Khaenri'ah, this had me wondering: what if part of the society, tired of the dark esotericism that was causing more harm than good and that was a thing since many years ago, wanted to do something to end with this so the people could live peacefully? And that this was enforced by a faction of the military to end. Considering that King Irmin was also neck deep into this, it wouldn't be far-fetched to think that those who wanted to make the nation a better place and not another home where it's unsafe to live or potentially worse than what many people left behind (namely the other seven nations ruled by the Archons) seized the opportunity that this king wasn't at his best point. Which later on would follow with Marshal Anfortas' temporary regency (whether he was the Alberich or not, I have no clue— it could be either him and that he continued to be the regent until Khaenri'ah's destruction or that someone of the Alberich clan stepped in to take the position after him). We do know that the Alberich who took the regent position wanted to mend things and, in my interpretation, it was too late for that.

So back to what I was commenting earlier and which I may adhere to my own particular worldbuilding of Khaenri'ah: part of the army, among which Dain was included, wanted to make out of Khaenri'ah a better place and actually kicked out from positions of power and relevance those who were way too deep into the Abyss dark part (it's known that they were able to invoke rifthounds in Sumeru, I highly doubt they wouldn't in Khaenri'ah even if for experimentation purposes alone that either go wrong or cause too much disruption in the society) and a time of peace follows after that. They believe that everything would go better from that moment onward, when the truth is... that highly likely they only scratched the surface of what Khaenri'ah's darkness supposed, which later on would culminate in the Cataclysm also because of those people in great part.

My collection of Cinnamoroll items has grown today!! I got some magnets and a little blind-box figurine! I got the entire Uzumaki manga (hardcover!!!) and I've gone through 14 chapters in 3 hours!! My mom also got me a denim jacket!! I've been looking for one to start putting patches on and this one is really cute!! It needs some mending on the lining and a good wash, but I don't mind :3

Overall, it has been a good day!! I got some pictures on my camera, ate lots of cheese sticks, and have some really cute jewellery supplies that I can't wait to use :3 I'm going to play boardgames with my family for the rest of the day!! I hope y'all are doing well 💕💕💕

Just when you think we're done with fic links, you remember that I'm nearly two days late in publishing the first few pieces of my own homemade fictober prompt list!

That said, here's Day One, for the prompt 'name.' Some light stizzy, with implied ftm Izzy (am I working through feelings via fic about how long it took me to finally find all the names I actually want to use for myself and how one of them is in fact. fucking. I can't even type it out but if you've checked my description in recent days you've probably noticed the change and Understand my faffing about here ANYWAY SORRY LINK INCOMING)

I have nothing except uni happening in my life right now, so I'll tell you what I dream of doing once I get at least a little freedom (apart from writing erotic cannibalism). I plan on sitting down and watching a ton of nature documentaries. Literally any and every that pops up when I search, ocean, big cats, savannah, apes, insects, South American rainforests... and maybe see what fun exhibitions will be free/cheap to visit. Something conceptual, maybe with contemporary art performances even. Yeah. Dreaming on...

JUJUUUUUU *muah muah*

Those are some cool dreams mate, nature documentary is so cool with all the selections out there now.

Deep sea documentaries are my favorite, especially the ones about species we don’t know that truly exist or not and the alien looking ones. Birds are second favorite.

You know what? Exhibitions sounds like a fun idea actually, I might have to look up some myself to visit here too :D Dude I would love to attend like an orchestra or piano concerts one day…yeah adding these to my to do list…

This is entirely random but somehow your ask triggered my brain again for this niche recommendation on documentaries

If you’re into ocean and like histories and doesn’t have fear towards deep ocean and uh the one about sunken ships (mechaphobia?? Submaphobia?????) I would highly recommend nature documentaries about ecosystem surrounding ship wrecks OR the ship wrecks themselves.

There’s a few out there like Blue Planet (I think the one specifically about this topic is The Deep) and Chronicles: Secret of the Abyss talks about them.

If specifically about ship wrecks, then Natural Geographic series on sunken ship exploration, and Lost Giants are a great start. Some of the interesting ones that I can remember is the wreck in Astrid is also good and OH! Vertical wrecks are also dope as hell (look up HMS Victoria, which I think it’s the only vertical shipwreck). Some other cool one is The Yongala, the one in Philipine which is Doña Paz I think and President Cooledge (there’s like a lady statue that remains visible and the ship basically sinks with most parts remained!)

Another related ones would be plane wrecks in the sea themselves, I don’t remember which video I watched but I think youtube probably have a lot of em.

Honestly these videos gave me chills and like the deep sense of dread so it might not be it for everyone dhshdhshs but I really like the “engineering” (???) part of these documentaries where they talk about how the ship operates during stress events and wreckage.

Which brings me to another recommendation on documentaries, missing sailors or ghost ships, which is when the people on the ships disappeared without any explanations. Ohhhhh man there’s a lot of them out there if you wanna watch something different, spooky and mysteries (I think these would be called…conspiracy videos?documentaries?) But the one that stuck with me is Ourang Medan where one SOS was send out before the ship sank (the SOS said everyone is dead and they were all frozen in shock…HORRIFYING SCENE TO IMAGINE). The famous one would be Mary Celeste (Im more inclined to believe the theory of the crew who thought the ship was going to explode because of alcohol fumes explosion, fled and got lost in the sea). The last one that I remember is about the coal ship where around 12 crew straight up went missing, which is the Carroll A. Deering case. Lots of speculations and drama (one of it involve something to do with the crew being taken by a Bolshevik since it was around the time where the tension between America and Soviet Union was high - the phobia red scare time - I personally feel like it’s a far fetched theory cuz they were nowhere near the coast where these supposed Soviet ship would be around)

I find another reason of why M's familial attitude and treatment towards me are impacting me so deeply much is the fact— taking this in now— that while I had a dismissive and emotionally distant father who pulled the abandonment card when I was thirteen, my mother is never as truly caring and understanding as he is.
