thank you @pippalovestunabrick for tagging me!!

last line challenge!!!

Juno shrugs. “We’re clearly not getting anywhere with this. I just—" Juno pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs. “Yeah, no, this isn’t working, and I’m tired of trying to make it work. Can— I—” Juno pauses to drag his hands down his face. “Can we just agree to be civil? For Rita?”

oooooo the boys are fightingggg

@smidgen-of-hotboy @one-joe-spoopy @ananxiousgenz @urjover please :3

#i rifled through all my wips trying to find a decent line lmao. most of them consist of random chunks which aren't in chronological order #so the last lines don't make any sense rip #tpp #the penumbra podcast #jupeter #juno steel #peter nureyev

Nothing Like the Sun: Chapter 20

In which things are (literally) on fire.

Fandom: Baldur's Gate (Video Games) Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Astarion/Wyll Characters: Astarion, Wyll, Ulder Ravengard, Cazador Szarr, Dalyria, Petras, Original Characters Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Slow Burn, Hurt/Comfort, Canon-Typical Violence, Intrigue, Trauma, Implied/Referenced Rape/Non-con, Ulder Ravengard's A+ Parenting, both these boys need hugs, but I'm going to be mean to them first, Unsolicited Fatherly Courtesan Procurement

Summary: Ulder Ravengard wants Wyll to enjoy more of the pleasures of youth, and Cazador Szarr has a solution: an enticing present for the young lord's birthday, in the form of an irresistible pale elf. To Astarion's surprise, Wyll is more interested in companionship than carnal pleasure. Their budding friendship sends ripples through the Gate's elite. But as that friendship begins to blossom into something more, the Grand Duke is called away to Elturel...

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #wyllstarion #bloodpact #wyll ravengard #astarion #fic #nothing like the sun #i'm on sabbatical for a little while so i have more free time #and i intend to spend a decent chunk of it poking these two with sticks #and letting them have tender moments. it's all about the balance.

In case anyone's wondering, one of the things i've been doing freelance-wise is illustrating for a TTRPG book! I got to do a cameo of ST1X for an upcoming game based on ol' deviantART OC tournaments, so if you'd like a sneak peek of that and several years worth of other secret drawings (mostly Kilroy-related but there's other ocs too!), it's available in my $5 tier!

#promo post #jfdhs i'll never get used to making these but yeah reminder that my patreon exists and i'm still actively updating it XD ;#if subscription stuff aint your style though I also have a kofi #and I will likely be opening commissions soon! as soon as i can figure out decent pricing for them .w.;; and how to go about doing them #it has been a minute since i last had to open them up kjdfhg #freelance work has been helping with a good chunk of my rent but I also have other bills and meds for my cat that it sadly doesnt cover .w.#so i gotta make ends meet while searching for a more stable living sitch!#anyway yeah that's all! i will now get back to the funnies and oc shenanigans XD ;

hiii i havent checked on this blog in a while, i thought you were quitting? i dont remember when but i thought you said you were done with this blog :? super glad ur still going but curious if im remembering wrong

i did quit! a decent while ago! but when the 2 year anniversary came around i was like ohhh ill open requests for a little bit... in celebration..! just till the end of the month... surely it wont be that many.... and then it was a Lot. but the current plan is to finish off my current inbox and then dip out again ^_^

#honestly the only reason im still working on reqs is bc id feel bad if i just ignored all them.#but even then theres a decent chunk i delete. u know?#this blogs more like an unpaid side job than a labor of love anymore even tho the levels of joy flunctuate quite a bit. its just that rn:#im not... into homestuck anymore? like at all? ive jumped through like 3 fandoms since this blog ended. so the motivation is a bit dead #sorry. u didnt ask all that. im just saying my truth #i rlly love the the ppl on this blog & the concept & how its been and even when i wasnt like. working on it anymore id go back through all #my old drawings of love and delight #but as it was when i stopped: i just dont have the motivation anymore. and now i also have other projects i value more that ive put on hold #for this temp revival. so.#dstext #damn i talk a lot sorry about that

I hated poetry until I was 13

Do you know what made me stop?

I sat next to this girl in English. We did not get along. She threatened to kill me a few times, standard stuff.

She hated it when I recited the poems we learnt. So I started memorising them. (We did not have to. We had to know quotes for our GCSEs)

And in memorising some of the poems to annoy this girl I hated, I gained an affection for them and started to understand them

And then when I was 15 and in my English GCSE I:

1) Did much better than I thought possible because of how much effort I put in, all of which stemmed from a petty hate

2) OMG FUCKING HELL THIS POEM IS SO GOOD SEAMUS HEANEY HOT DAMN (unseen poetry)

I will be forever grateful i can be on this new med. it's one a lot of folks also need and can struggle to have access to! It's important i be on it, especially if i start doing any vid collabs

(some of which, really, all of which, i unfortunately actually need to cancel that were in the preplanning stages, bc the election results have me wanting to wait and see how the general atmosphere of the country is before i agree to meet up with anyone. I feel bad for cancelling, but also i just can't know for sure how safe things are/might be going forward and I'd rather avoid the potential of. ya know. various not great things that could happen at a meet up, tho i would certainly hope they wouldn't. i don't feel like actually addressing them rn, u guys know what i mean)

That said, if the truvada initial side effects could fuck off asap would be so lovely. three weeks at worst, then they should be gone/much better or so i am told. really hope that's true bc losing my mornings to being dizzy and nauseous is Not Working for me lmao. im on week two, and now understand why my new doc said to call if i needed any 'cheerleading' and support to get thru the side effects, bc apparently she's done that for several ppl to make sure they actually make it thru the three weeks and keep on it (lovely of her!!)

#text post #not going to get into the other painful smack of this morning #suffice to say that medicaid does not in fact fully cover vocal therapy/training for trans ppl #even if ur docs feel incredibly certain it is #if i was making a decent bit over minimum wage at consistent hours and already had my current debts paid off mostly #then I'd happily consider paying the chunk Medicaid won't cover but as of now #it would literally be basically two paychecks if not three to cover the estimate for this first visit #and that's only if the poll would have us polling every week like we did before the election #otherwise we're guesstimating it would be upwards of 4 paychecks to cover it #I'm actually gonna get into in here bc nobody reads all my tag essays (fair valid and correct)#im really sad abt this. my voice gets me clocked a lot and while i can mostly handle like. visually being clocked #my voice giving me away genuinely makes me feel a pain in my chest. i can't get my customer service voice to go lower yet #and even if it's my usual voice I've made minimal progress on my own self done vocal study stuff #so like. no one knows how high it was compared to how it is now tho so no one actually hears it as anything near deep #which it isn't but like. there's been a slightly barely there drop of it per at least a couple ppl in my life #i was probably going to be able to learn how to sing again and find my new range. I'd fix my customer service voice #even if it would only ever be a teeny bit lower than how it is now. it would be lovely #im not gonna get too down tho bc someday hopefully I'll be able to make it happen/afford it #and for now...im doing the bad thing of not cancelling the appt yet #i will bc they're booking out for months and it isn't right of me to take a spot i know i can't keep #but. let me pretend i can for another day or two. maybe until monday. then I'll call or msg them on mychart #and let them know i just don't have the funds rn tho i do deeply appreciate that Medicaid at least pays part of it #im just not at a point where i can cover the rest but that I'll reschedule/have a new referral sent whenever that changes #...and hopefully things in this country will be of such a state that such care is still available to ppl like me.#but that's all we're saying on that bc im already having a pathetic little cry over this #(im fine the med side effects have me crying over everything lol i see a sad commercial and Instant Tears like someone died lmaooo)

things that im sad both canon and fanon have forgotten: miranda, honest to god, just desperately, really wants to help her friends and to feel like she’s being helpful

#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#Monster Prom #Miranda Vanderbilt #like a decent chunk of her endings from the first game were just #her absolutely desperately trying to help her friends in whatever ways she can figure out #she is not very bright and cannot always. figure out. exactly. whats best to do in service of helping them.#but beyond everything else she is trying to do so and wants to do so just. sososososo badly.

baru cormorant seems to me to be a series that suffers miserably for me having read machineries of empire first. unfortunately everything BC is doing strikes me as something MoE did better and more believably and with much a greater and more grounded eye for how systems, complex system interaction, and oppression like. work

#red rambles #also i don't like the writing very much so I'm not having as much fun with it as i did with MoE #but YHL straight up writes with the exact approach and methodology *i* write - the narrative frame is extremely close. the lines are punchy #the description is sparse the info we are delivered is typically in short wacky one-off chunks that tell us not only something about the #world but something about the narrator who is also the main character whose head we're in #the timing. so on and so forth #someone told me that seth dickinson is transfem but i cant find her (?) pronouns anywhere so if anyone knows where to see them i'd #appreciate a link if only to complain that i don't like her (?) writing that much in comparison because it is a lot less.... rewardingly #entertaining i suppose. when compared to the way yoon ha lee structures his. there are much fewer twists #and of course the major huge twist of Baru Cormorant was hidden from the reader which i just think is *bad form* when it comes to intrigue!#when yhl will lay all the moving pieces of the plot before you openly and say 'hey. isn't that a funny side tangent. anyway look to your #left; something is exploding' and then as it keeps unfolding he goes 'and here in small scale is how it is being used! isn't that #interesting to see how these pieces move? now look to your right; something is exploding' and then at the very end it all comes perfectly #together #the way i felt around the middle/end of Raven Strategem when i understood the spy network the first time is something that BC cannot do #you aren't trusted with the pieces and you don't get to play the game of understanding that you weren't *told* literally everything #i'm reading monster baru cormorant today as i go about my errands and I kinda don't think it's what i want because i want it to be the kind #of working awful poisoned bloodstained empire as the hexarchate and i want it to be a complex contradictory overlapping system like the #hexarchate's army and i want the banal cruelty of perfectly decent people condemning strangers to awful awful bloody deaths because they're #'not like us' instead of the petrified horror *everyone* has of the Social Contagion Agents because i just do not BUY the construction of #dickinson's Social Hygiene Offices and their place in the world #but i cant just read the MoE books any more. i'll get bored. i'm already kind of bored of reading them over and over

Shakes and cries I wanna make Jackie parent hc designs but I can't because potentially one of them is a prevalent character now and her ass has not spoken a single line yet so I both know nothing and can't just start making shit up yet </3333

#rat rambles #oni posting #I hope alan shows up at some point I need to know what one alan stern is up to so badly #I mostly am hoping things stay relatively vague with the family drama but I would like a sense of what they're personalities are like #if for no other reason than wanting more proxy fuel for jackie character analysis #but alas there will likely be quite the wait until we get new story content again #which Im fine with to be clear I want them to take their time to polish things #especially since the last two dlcs were so close together #plus Id like to see some new bionic dupes before then as well #I assume new bionic dupes will come as we get more stuff but itd be comforting to see all that stuff not be locked behind a whole new dlc #Im fine with dlc exclusive dupes dont get me wrong I just don't want the oni team to build a situation in which the bionic boosterpack #starts to retroactively feel like an unfinished product due to basic things such as a decent dupe selection being locked behind other dlcs #I rly hope that new bionic dupes are sprinkled throughout different qol updates or something like that instead #other than that I have no real expectations for what comes next gameplay wise Im simply content letting the oni team cook #I just am also going to be a big baby abt wanting new lore already the entire time because I wanna draw alan nowwwwwww #I also need to know if jackie's maybe brother is older or younger than her this is so important #since I very first read oni stuff I have seen her as the youngest of 2 and I would rather have them shatter that image sooner than later #I still Want him to be older but I am very willing to accept my hcs being obligerated with jackie #the last time they did it it was entirely for the better and I trust that when they inevitably do it again it will also be for the better #that being said I do want to announce I take it all back abt wanting more joshua stuff Im too attached to my hcs let me have this #joshua is the one oni character where I just like fully let loose my ideas upon it would be so easy for it all it crumble into dust #and like I would adapt and be fine but I would rather get to keep the ever growing chunk of my oni playlist he takes up in tact #thankfully I feel fairly comfortable that most the relevant guys in the basegame story aren't going to be too much of a presence for now #we seem to be getting more focus on general worldbuilding and less on preexisting characters #most glaringly olivia has basically been a complete nonpresence in both dlcs so gar #nikola and ashkan both continue to be the offhand mentioned but outside of them the focus seems to be shifting towards new characters #in particular I find it fun that gossmann has been mentioned in both of the recent dlcs making me wonder if shes going to be smth of a #nikola like character for the upcoming dlcs #also please let b. boson be burt please please please please please I need my boy to be real #I'm inclined to say he also certainly is but there is a world where boson is a rando so I can only be so confident

I wish I could be normal about this book series, but instead I keep randomly picking them up and reading specific parts any time I think about said scenes.

#my posts #like #bro I just finished rereading them like a week ago I don't NEED to reread the scene from excites #AND YET #aftg #the foxhole court #all for the game #oh! and I finally read Lessons in Cartography on A03 btw #it's good. I didn't love the Jack situation but otherwise I thought it was really good #I see why people think of it as the 'unofficial sequel' and all #though I have like a decent chunk of other post canon fics I LOVE sooooo....#anyways.#this is just me rambling at this point.

this election feels so hollow even though it’s likely ostensibly gonna be a good outcome. labour really just sucks fucking ass rn huh

#if the tories lose bad enough to make lib dems the opposition though… a guy can hope #I think it’s the fact that this is the first general election I can vote in that’s making me lose my mind a little here #I have done basically nothing but read today. I DO know a whole bunch more abt voting systems and the nightmare the tories have been now tho #I’m just kinda like. okay so what happens next? bc labour WILL do some decent shit but they also. fucking suck.#planning to look into the local green party once I’m back at uni bc I could actually do stuff there #I think I’m just dealing with a little bit of whiplash going from doing a biology degree where Everything is about climate change #like unambiguously it gets brought up in every topic (I DO focus on ecology and agricultural stuff and not like genetics but still)#clear consensus from literally everyone you talk to that shit has to happen right the fuck now.#it’s not even like I’m unaware of the state of policy rn I KNOW it’s a nightmare to do anything but we at least TALK about it #and then this election where it’s barely a footnote. biggest thing is the sewage dumping everyone’s talking about and yeah fucking finally #but is that all you’ve got?? the labour manifesto is bleak. it has a section and the stuff they’re proposing isn’t bad but it’s so little #and yeah no they’ve changed the official line on the manifesto to ‘make Britain a clean energy superpower’#I SWEAR it was different a few days ago #maybe I’m being pessimistic bc their plans for clean energy if they actually do them could be huge especially if they manage it by 2030.#it’s just that I know what the targets are and they’re already pulling back on shit like EVs bc of the shift right and I am So Tired #two party politics is a curse. as much as reform is an actual nightmare them getting a decent vote share might actually be the thing that #gets people talking abt proportional representation again bc they are nothing if not good at being loud #did you know we had a fucking referendum in 2011 bc what the fuck. and it went SO BADLY even though people generally supported it #god idk I think I’m once again being naively optimistic about people and election coverage has been very good at knocking me down a bit #people generally are good. I have to believe this. but man the british public is making that really fucking hard #genuinely I think a good chunk of that is down to first past the post driving politics to be divisive and aggressive #like is it the only problem? fuck no. but it’s definitely poisoning the way this shit goes bc when all the parties do is jab at each other #what are we actually doing here #idk I’m gonna stop now but this is taking up a ridiculous amount of bandwidth rn I can’t wait for it to be over #already dreading what the next election could look like in 4 years if starmer continues to suck ass bc I don’t trust him to not like at all #luke.txt #I said i was done but I just looked at the lib dem manifesto and oh my god it’s actually pretty good on this? holy fucking shit

helppp i saw a most tragic character poll where one of the matchups was shadow the hedgehog vs luz theowlhouse and you could just tell that none of the people voting for luz actually know anything about shadow because they were all in the notes saying stuff like Guys please vote for luz she has trauma. and she had to go through all that when she was only a teenager . its so sad shadow has nothing on her. as if all of their arguments dont also apply to shadow

#and the propaganda for shadow was like. a long ass paragraph over triple the length of the propaganda for luz #(and it still somehow didnt even get into ALL the messed up stuff thats happened to shadow just a decent chunk of it)#as someone who knows both characters. shadow is the clear winner here no question you guys are just voting for the one you like more #and there were also people going ''umm how is luz losing to a hedgehog . dont let this happen'' which is like #the way every time a sonic character is winning in a poll people in the notes who dont really know them always go #''ummmm theyre just a hedgehog how are they winning '' is so annoying #like we get it you only see sonic characters as meme mascots #and refuse to acknowledge that theres like . actually very interesting and heartfelt stories and characters in sonic media #and that some of the stories go into darker subject matter . like the stuff involving shadow for example. whatever .
