I loved your drawing(and I love your style in general) with Leia in your recent post! If/when you have time can we see more of her in your style? I get so happy whenever I actually see people mention/talk about her and she’s not just forgotten because we didn’t get to see much of her. 😭

thank you! 💙💙💙 Leia/Leah/Lea/whatever is fascinating to me. she is the ultimate unknown. what was she like? how involved (or even aware of any details of the invasion) was she? Silver's basically a physical carbon copy of his biodad, so what did he get from her? like, I understand why the two of them kind of have to stay as these super vague and mysterious figures -- the whole point of them is that their story ended 400+ years ago and they're not really relevant anymore (and. well. the more that gets explained about them, the less that can just kinda be handwaved as "oh the politics were Very Messy") (we can sit here and theorize all day but let us acknowledge that, ultimately, canon gave us almost nothing about them post-Meleanor and we'd just be making things up). I do still wonder about her though! RIP Lea, we never knew you and we probably never will.

actually you know what, as long as we're here, I think I WILL go ahead and just make some stuff up about what Silver might've inherited from her instead.

I love how Phil is the passenger princess in everything in their relationship, except dnp's finances, which he completely controls. Capital £ester knows one thing and one thing only: the bank.

#i said this #dnp #phan #baby girl who manages all your accounts #phil #phil lester #amazingphil #it kind of reminds me of my parents - my dad is a self -proclaimed financial genius. except he also has other skills #dan and Phil

I need to shoutout the Chance player who shot his flintlock at me (Telamon) because I walked up behind him and scared him apparently

#roblox forsaken #forsaken roblox #homicidalporkchops #c00lkidd #shedletsky #telamon #builderman #yes...finally... a dedicated post i can put stuff from the art dump in...#which means i am reuploading art........... damn #see i can tag forsaken all i want but i wont lie those last few builderman drawings are for my interpretation on him #of which i will hide in the tags where noone will find them #he's a dad. to me. in my heart. this man is phoning his buddies at 1am to tell them about the sick building idea he had.#his garage? a disaster. this man is like every artist manifesting new ideas #except unlike us he can find the willpower to put them to paper #hes a mandisaster #he would NOT say fuck #hes married to his work your honor #hes so friendly and open and has smile lines #no one on record has seen him frown. ever #glass half full? Wrong. Glass IS full.#this mans enthusiasm is infectious #on another note i like to think telamon functions like an alter ego. he's the “”serious“” mode:tm:#like you thought normal shedletsky was kind of a cocky bastard. WRONG #the smile is gone but his skill has gone nowhere #waaahh im yappingg im yappingg IM STOPPING NOW

"The most incredibly brave thing a man can do is confront a bald guy with no nose who breaks into his house trying to kill his family." — James Potter fans who idolize him for doing the bare minimum expected of a father.

I mean, if defending your family from a maniac is the most heroic gesture a man can make, then what do you call defending a bunch of strangers who aren’t even your friends —who, in fact, hate you and think you’re despicable— but you still risk your life and give up your reputation just to save their sorry asses, while letting them believe you’re the villain so you can protect them better even though they don’t deserve it, because not only have they always despised you, some of them actually bullied you as a teenager? Should we go ahead and canonize you in the Vatican or what?

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??

Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try

#also love that he's basically atheist like ok thanks you made the man exactly coded to be my type #and the humor and beautiful curly hair is very much something my IRL partner has too so like... how can i resist #anyways not sure a lot of people relate cause i think a lot of people want that fairytale romance #even tho wyll is right there yall #but i love me an unconventional or nontraditional one!!#i'm TIRED of being married with children as the endgame pls let's not do it #also a lot of people seem into him being a dad and im like... how? why? where in canon did he ever lmfao #more power to ya if you dig it but i just dont see it being in character #like in DAI i loved cullen and my inquisitor getting married and having a dog #and they seem the type to wants kids one day. but Tav & Astarion? lol no #i just think it's neat #is this a hot take? i have no idea but i don't see it mentioned a lot as a new fan tbh #pls do not come at me you can enjoy whatever you like #i haven't seen the ascended stuff so idk if being his 'consort' is like being his bride #but i feel like overall it's not and the vibe isn't all that different in this sense #except that you're hosting evil parties instead of travelling :/#Astarion #bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3 #also YEA he's nice to Arabella but you can tolerate certain kids without wanting one or being 'good parent' material #case in point: me lmfao #OKAY update i saw the AA stuff and yeah you're kind of implied vamp married and he does mention spawn as children 😫#but he also says in banter he won't make any other spawn??? so what is it dude #anyway that's also clearly the “bad” route and he doesn't seem as happy as unascended #who feels “truly free”#and if you're durge I'm pretty sure its even worse to consider having kids?? lol #but i digress #pk plays bg3

trying to remember the french word for snail like limier...no that's bloodhound. linceul? no thats burial shroud. well cleaerly it starts with li and theres a nasal. lin...lim...fuck what is it. limaçon! yes i got it!

[two minutes later] oh goddammit. escargot.

#they both mean snail but one of them is the word EVERYONE KNOWS #and one of them is the word i just know because the dad of the main character in a colette novel i read two years ago #is a snail scientist #french #my posts #whenever i try to retrieve a french word my brain is like that word is out of stock but can i interest you in one of the thousands #of other words we have harvested from french literature #and they're all random shit i do not need to say at all but have been relevant in some french novel #i don't even remember why linceul keeps coming up except i guess it must have featured in the escape scenes in cmc and les mis #and i think i probably remember it better because i really like the -eul ending on words #very fun to say #also the main reason i know limier is because i watched tsomd with french subtitles and that's the word they used for sleuth #i think it was also occasionally relevant in arsène lupin contre herlock sholmès #i do love forensically tracing why i know a french word. kind of like etymology but just for meeee

Id really like if people stopped editing Eddie with the intro being his fight with Bobby where he basically tells him he thinks he is a murderer and should rot in hell (which is not true btw) just bc he got his little feelings hurt. Like boy that aint no savage moment its just straight up wrong

#the only time i wanted to punch him in his pretty boy face #like my man Bobby genuenly only done anything out of care for you and this is what he gets???#he was like an an angry teenager arguing with his dad for being grounded #except he was the evil kind of teen #anyways they made up so its ok #911 abc #bobby nash #eddie diaz #911 on abc #911 rant #edmundo diaz #robert nash #911 hiatus #118 firefam #911 fox #911

- Why was Ryouga the only one immune to the Trinoid's attack? - Ryo-chan doesn't hate anyone or anything!

#it's scary how many screenshots i have of him. i edited even more caps but decided these are already enough. he's definitely my favorite #imagine you're a 23 year old—young adult who lost all your family except for your niece #so you selflessly decide you will be her dad/guardian. but no one taught you how to take care of a child. you're not sure if you're doing #the right thing for her. oh no mai chan is influenced by a bad TV program. it must be your fault for spending too much time with your #abaranger obligations and not enough time taking care of her. you must be a terrible father for mai chan. but even you are struggling #you picked up so many odd jobs and niche talents growing up just to survive. for the two of you. the apartment you lived? gone #during the bakuryuu attack. so now you're living under someone's shelter. yet you never lose hope patience and kindness for others #that extends to even the evil doctor who always gets in your way because you believe in the goodness in everyone #HAKUA RYOGA I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH. i saw that poll asking if ryouga is the superior dilf. and while im not sure about the dilf part #no one surpasses ryouga for me! abared all the way!#hakua ryouga #伯亜凌駕 #nishi koichiro #西興一朗 #bakuryuu sentai abaranger #爆竜戦隊アバレンジャー

when you really think about it everyone in Stardew Valley has some shade of daddy issues

#sdv #sdv hcs #setting aside the obvious ones like Alex Sebastian Penny and Abigail #Sam and Maru both have dads that love them but with whom they have complex relationships #Emily and Haley have PARENTS issues if we're being honest #and Leah Shane and Elliott appear to be in some ways distant from their families all together #Harvey might be the only exception even if nothing is mentioned #but a malewife of that calibre can only come from a grat dad #these are the kind of thought I have while filing invoices because I'm Oh so interested in doing so #also what might have sparked them is that today me and my partner had a hard convo about his dad so I've been feeling emotional all day #fathers are complicated

Hey, no worries, but if anything happens to Adder and Janosh, I will find the one guilty and slay all and everyone he knows in front of him, before slowly slicing him piece by piece starting at the toes. 🙂

Also I am cranky cause I can't get my princess out of the castle yet, and that stresses the shit outta me. 🫠 I'd like to enjoy the game please, but I need to have my wife next to me...

#don't tell me ..i don't wanna know yet..#like if you thought hansry was obviously gay from day 1 #you haven't seen adder and janosh ig #they are the chocolate cake with vanilla icecream kind of gay #this game has an exceptional amount of diverse gay couple in it and I am here for all if them 🥸❤️#the good guy gays #the bad guy gays #the fuck shit up gays #the dad gays #only one actually straight seems to be my ever beloved priest who is like #nah y'all bone man in church is like.. a too normal thing.. personally i'd like to not give a shit about church's stupid orders #and fuck women anyway #....and I respect that attitude godwin my love #i long to so some godwin fanart guys #he is so far up on my tier list #kcd2 #kingdom come deliverance 2 #adder #janosh uher

So I always, always have my phone on me because I have various health issues that could make me end up on the floor so it's a safety thing for me, so I can always call for help. I'm not sure how common that is though?

This poll partially inspired by conversations with my grandma, who does not keep her phone or her Life Alert button thing with her but probably should

#the person behind the yarn #based partially on a conversation with my grandma #who does think it's kind of weird I always have my phone in reach #like. ALWAYS. my phone is ALWAYS in reach #the only exception is if I am in the same room as a family member and get up to like go get a snack or something #I might leave my phone on the couch while I do that but only if I am either in line of sight #or will definitely be heard if I fall #like. I have not fallen and not been able to reach a phone often?#just the one time but it was a memorable experience #well okay twice but one time I was in earshot of my dad #and another time I had a bad asthma attack and couldn't stand up to get my inhaler #but did have my phone in my pocket so I was able to call for help #so like. I ALWAYS have my phone charged and in my pocket

aside from being a kingdom hearts fan trying to kh certain metaphor lategame plot points. i don't even think that the games heavy-handedness in its messaging is one of my actual complaints about the games writing. i'll take its clumsy commentary because it at least comes across as earnest.

but i think it DOES have wacky pacing that drags out the beginning of the game up until like. god. idk until like the tournament for the throne is announced? the drawn out prologue. and then you get to saints day and everything goes wild and then you have the really odd situation of having WAY too much happen way too close together to the absolute story dead zone of being given a whole in-game month in a game that takes place over, what, 4 months, to tie up remaining loose ends as the endgame just looms in the distance.

and the other thing is that everything felt too much to me like.. an introduction to the world? an overview of it? nearly every character feels so much like just a Type (an archetype haha) that outside of crazy turns like alonzo's bond going so downhill so fast or eupha's having my pleasantly surprised that they didn't just play up the naive sheltered girl you show the world to. a lot of the bonds kind of feel like going through the motions to me. am i crazy? am i too judging. idk.. some of them still worked like marias was still heartwarming and even seeing where basilio's was going almost immediately i was invested just because i'm so invested in basilio and they manage not to flatten him out to like two traits. but it feels like so much of the game is just a surface level world to convey a message. or something like that

#the pacing is a real problem to me... i was pretty much sold as soon as i saw the first trailer #but playing through the demo i was like hrmngh... idk abt this...#i genuinely don't think i was sold on it really being worth it until heismay things look up after him. to me #probabyl also because strohl and hulkenberg bore me so much. idk why i cant get into hulkenberg im mad!#also i think my dads lost motivation to play bc of the pacing and hes only just out of the nord mines LOL #but hes less of a story text driven game guy i think it wouldve lost him eventually anyways it weeded out the weak #metaphor revieww kind of a flop except for the parts im obsessed with #anywyas if u need me ill be in the mountains breathing on rella's ice cube trying to free her
