#none of her morals are....good........

[kindlyre]

hrmmmmmm dreaming up some concepts for a Thing i wanna do exploring rantaro's killing game (i say Thing bc i WANT it to be a fangams but UUUHHHHH is that feasable? sources say probably not)

what ill sya is korekiyo's sister was in this game (HEAR ME OUT) and theee was tbat secrets motive from the first game. ofc hers is the whole.... thing..... with her brother, and rantaro's secret is similarly juicy (not telling u bcos ud NEVER believe me)

BUT!! the sister. we'll call her miyo bc they have matchy names. she met up w rantaro and went "ok we're borh pragmatic. i tell you my secret and ypu tell me yours. that way since we got ir off oue chests, we won't look so visibly nervous in front od the others." she guesses by how nervous rantaro was that his secret was on the same level of life ruiningly awful as hers was (it is.)

and it worked, neither of their secrefs got out

and team danganronpa was PIIIIIIIIIISSSSED

so in the 53rd season they ofc got dear sweet (very much alive and watchinf all this on tv) miyo's brother whom she xares about so much and wrote his memories in such a way that the incest thing ends up revealed ANYWAY despite miyo's best efforts to hide it, and its revealed in a way that makes him grossly unsympathetic to twist the knife. just bc shirogane was pissed that miyo and rantaro were smart enough to not get their secrets revealed even tho theirs were the juiciest ones

shes still bummed that rantaro didnt last long enough for her to do it to him too :P

i want to see more terrible mindflayer OCs, but canon evil mindflayer ocs, not just some half baked "this is the bad guy i used in my dnd game, he uuuh, can enthrall you". I want to see Abysmal Creed Illithid! I want the tormentors and torturers without a shred of empathy and who only form bonds with others of their kind out of convenience! Enthrallment is so surface level! Illithid can be and are so much worse! I'm all for good illithid but BG3 has 1) given us no lore about them at all and has shown that no one knows jack shit about them, and 2) has woobiefied/watered down the FUCK out of their species. their society sucks and illithid are a product of that! Canonically they can be any alignment but tend to be evil due to their society. Illithid have a growing up phase of 20-21 years and learn from their environment just as we do! Im kinda getting bored of "illithid is a victim of their elderbrain" I want to see a squid that revels in agony all on their own!! 99% of people who have any concept of Illithid think they only eat brains! They don't! they eat the whole person, their favorite parts are the organs and they eat them raw and who knows if they even kill the guy first!!!! Make Some Evil Squid Bitches! Heres two of the most important sources of Illithid canon lore as free PDFs

I'm reading a mediocre, rather melodramatic novel from the 1880s--family scandals, secret heirs, all that sort of thing. There's two cousins, Georgina and Lucy. Georgina is married, Lucy isn't; Lucy gets pregnant, and they pass off the baby as Georgina's, to everyone, even her husband (he was out of the country). They name him Lucius. Later Georgina has a child of her own. They name him George. I don't think these people are very good at keeping secrets.

if critiquing the actions of a flawed female character & acknowledging that she is flawed while still absolutely adoring her writing makes you misogynistic in the eyes of fandom i need to know what these people do about real fucking misogyny (Fucking Nothing)

Genuinely with my whole heart I think 99% of lori’s beef with rick is that he was way too bisexual for her cis wasp ass to even begin to comprehend

i absolutely lack the brainpower to put my admiration for this mini arc into words but holy shit this was beautiful.

i love how complex the gods are, the relationships between them are so deeply loving and so broken. their family is prioritized over many things, mortals, promises and other families. even though they hurt each other that family tie is more important than almost everything else. they didn't want to hurt their children but they did it anyway for each other. at the end of the day they will cast aside their children in favor of their kin. the line is between those who matter and those who do not.

but i'm not supposed to scratch

man I am thinking about it but Zephrah is but one of the Ashari homelands, thus Keyleth is the heiress apparent of the air ashari people, the princess, and she was chosen which is cool according to the wiki even if Vilya was her mother she still had to be chosen to go on the aramente, which I wonder if she failed would her nobility pass on to the next person? Does her princesshood come from her mother or her position as tempest-incumbent? I would imagine the second one And I wonder how this stacks up legitimacy wise to the rest of Tal'dorei and Exandria proper cuz Syldor only seems super impressed by Percy even tho Syldor sucks and is a shit metric so nvm but inside her domain, her small but significant section of people, she is a la Germany during the 1700-1800s, a princess amongst the 3 other leaders of the Ashari, now it seems the Ashari governmental system is at least a little less centralized than say Tal'dorei but it still technically has Kiki as their princess now I'm making a point with this so bear with me,

And Percy, in much the same position, is, or was the second he stepped back into Whitestone, and especially showcased in TLOVM, the Big Man on Campus, the top authority, in fact he says in EP 64 to Syldor that he is of the Royal House of Whitestone, before his lil responsibility shirking ass defected to Cassandra he was the boss here, and if Whitestone is a Royal House and yet outside of Uriel's jurisdiction and his line of succession too, and Whitestone has had a Duke and a Count within it's borders as well and Percy being able to title people higher than he is, or being lower ranked than the people of those houses when they are not the main and royal House of Whitestone, is just silly and commensensically incorrect so he's higher here than duke, count, and baron, that's like principality status, one rung below Uriel's deal, a little Monaco in the Europe that is Tal'dorei. so he's a Prince, was probably the Grand Prince in the wee moments before he gave it to Cass, he's a Prince which is so cool, prince of a similarly insular people to Shepard, just like Keyleth

Keyleth is a little more involved in, to borrow from kerrick's letter, the 'gardening' of Zephrah post campaign but still she and Percy are on a very level field here which thrills the Me because it's two stressed out, very lonely and burdened babies, too young for this shit, with surprisingly good leadership skills and without either of the parents that knew how to do all this ruling stuff trying their very best to get through it all intact, Percy might took a hard left into evil demon territory for a second, but no wonder honestly that those two latched onto each other so hard, they had one other person who knew intimately the pressure the other was under, and I mean it goes even deeper truly,

They would have only began preparing Keyleth for her aramente when it became clear Vilya failed hers, years after she left, and Percy might not have been Julius or Vesper but after the massacre in the back of his mind he had to have known that when he went back he'd be in Charge for however long it took him to kill himself revenging his family, so by the time the two of them met they really were side by side with the wide gulf of Responsibility they Weren't Ready For in front of them, which makes it cuter to me that this was how Percy attempted to bond with Kiki at first prestream but like

Man, my little Royal Duo, kicking ass and taking names, Percy mighta broken the mold a little with this council but y'know I think if it were really a big deal despite Keyleth taking BH to him directly they would have had to talk to Cass and the rest of the Council first upon meeting them all so 😌 council served it's narrative purpose now my lord and lady can rule as they please, or at least Vex can which I will take to the Bank, I mean Lady De Rolo Coinmistress of Tal'dorei and her trophy husband? Absolutely (also this makes vex a princess by marriage and also it'll make Vax a PRINCE by marriage when they get him back (cuz they're gonna I choose to believe, it's what Vex deserves damnit, I refuse to be pulled from this fantasy) and he'll hate that it'll be so cute and funny)

But man this friendship, forged under the stoop of backs bowed by such responsibility set on them both far far far too young but bearing it flawlessly anyway, really is so... Percy's going to freak the fuck out when he finds out what Otohan did to her, it's gonna be so good

Their friendship man, it is so important to me. They see each other, they understand, through thick and thin and they are both broken and and a little fucked up but they still stick by each other, Keyleth rails at Percy whenever his bloodlust during the Briarwood arc gets outta control, and Percy's always there to shore Keyleth up when her charisma falls a little flat, it's a friendship built on being seen so deeply and understood in a way that only they can, even if it still isn't quite enough to mend their worse habits, even if it isn't enough to convince Percy to forgive himself then and it isn't enough for Keyleth to acknowledge that the past did happen and was horrible but the bright future is still being written. And they mirror each other sometimes, look at Percy during the Briarwood Arc vs Keyleth and Raishan, look at Keyleth seeing how poorly revenge treats Percy and yet committing to it anyway, they are so similar in so many ways. But it is enough, to be seen by each other.

also please look at this sketchingsparrow knows what I'm putting down

(sending an ask instead of reblogging that post again)

Assigning you Just Evil. I feel like you'd be a discourse character.

oh bro you are so on the money its insane. like not to hashtag traumadump but i had a bit of an Unusual Disposition surrounding my abusive mother in my teenhood (read: i would hit her and actively wanted her dead and be very open about the fact that i never loved her)

this was legitimatley a contentious topic among various friendgroups ive had over the years. to this day i dont understand why (shes my mom not yours, at least im not a doormat unlike you people, she treats me like shit so why cant i treat her like shit back, etc) other than "violence and murder is scary so people have a knee jerk reaction to it"

but it was legit A Topic Of Discussion, so much so that once someone started a whole argument IN A PUBLIC SERVER about how since i had detailed fantasies about killing my mom, that i a) would 100% do it without a doubt and b) this was a bad thing. like bro i wish but unfortunatley the police exists

and that's just a) the historic stuff that b) anyone with sense will agree is a total banger move on my part. i feel like ive gotten even more contentious over the years. the stuff i do with soulbonds would curl toes (but most people dont think that shit is real or it matters so i get away with it 🎉)

all this to say that u are 100% right and i would be the kokichi 😔

So with me nearing the end of Act 1 of BG3, I'll show off this look change I did in light of. Well. Losing my goddamn eye (For The Boon....)

Here's Taltana, based off my very first dnd character!

The Before & After shots for the look.

She's a druid, so I was going for something a bit more... rugged looking, maybe. Natural, definitely. Odd for a drow to be a druid, but that was her whole thing. Escaped the underdark, raised by a druid topside, etc etc. Except she has been sticking her grubby little fingers into every piece of forbidden magic she can get her hands on, and it's gotten to the point where she doesn't really feel much like a druid anymore. The forbidden necromantic knowledge, the embracing of the mind flayer's powers, the love of Loviatar herself...

Aka I'm poking Every button to see what it'll do, and the game is rewarding me for it Handsomely.

Characterization-wise, she's seen a Lot of shit through all of this (and I'm still only on act 1 😭), & after delving deep into the underdark... idk, she just needed something a bit less natural-looking. A bit more intimidating. She's girlfriends with a cleric of Shar, even. She's constantly toeing the lines of corruption and shadow.

And SO. A new look!!! Having her grow her hair out Kind Of. Might change it in later acts too, depending on how those go. For now, I'm enjoying the cosmetic change, bc it makes it feel like She's changing, too.

I also Love how this looks with the circlet I never take off. Perfect for it.
