I finished Veilguard last week and I really enjoyed it! I don't have the time to draw fanart rn, but I played a hot-headed, duty-bound, elven mage Mourn Watcher named Evon. He romanced Davrin and his closest friends were Taash and Harding. More pics and spoilers under cut.

I had a lot of moments while playing feeling like this game was going to be very devisive (and perusing my TLs it sure seems to be, as any proper Dragon Age game should), but it definitely surpassed my expectations. I liked the story, the characters, the art direction, the gameplay, the level design, and the score. It felt good to be correct about a lot of the lore reveals!! And I thought the ending was probably the best Bioware's ever done. Also got very excited to see Dorian and Oli on screen together again. (Even though I wasn't able to make Oli nearly tall enough.)

My ending was reconciled Solas + Inquisitor/Redeemed Solas. Davrin led the B-Team and Neve was captured by Elgar'nan, but later rescued. The remaining Veilguard all survived the final assault. Yes, I've felt like a grieving widow since I finished, thanks for asking.

Who is Oliver lying to in the end?

As many people pointed out, the entirety of the Saltburn movie is about Oliver telling lies to everyone in order to appear as exactly the person they find interesting.

He is a nice, broke boy for Felix and Elspeth to fix, an art connoisseur for James to talk to and a lover for Venetia to seduce. Literally all he knows is be bisexual, eat hot chip and lie. And the story he tells in the end about always having planned to kill the Cattons was just as much a lie as everything else.

Now the question is: Who is he telling this story to? Who is he lying to? Who is he trying to get approval from by changing his story this time?

There are three possible answers I can think of: Elspeth, Himself and The Audience.

tl;dr: Oliver is telling a lie the entire movie, of course he didn't plan to kill the Cattons from the start but he wants you to believe that so badly, and most of all he wants to believe it himself.

1. Elspeth

While Elspeth might be the only other actual person in the room with Oliver, I think it's highly unlikely that she was the one Oliver was lying to, concidering that she is literally in a coma and about to be murdered by Oli. So why would it matter anymore what she thought of him?

That brings us to the next person he could be lying to:

2. Himself

The only person who is really hearing Oliver's story is Oliver himself. And that could be exactly who he is lying to.

He tells himself that his goal had always been to get the house instead of his goal being Felix's attention.

Because he failed so misrably at his first goal he now wants go make mostly himself believe that he never had that goal in first place. He tells himself that he always wanted the house, the money, Saltburn. Because recognising the rejection would mean recognising himself as the loser who doesn't fit in and that would just hurt too much.

But there is also a third "person" in the room with Elspeth and Oli that Oliver could be lying to:

3. The Audience

During the entire movie Oliver desperatly wants to fit in and belong, be a fixed part at Saltburn. But he never achieves that goal, he is always on the outside looking in.

What he can be a part of in the end though is the story itself.

In storytelling there are at least 4 major character types:

the protagonist

the antagonist

the confidant

the love interest

Next to Felix (or anyone in the Catton family, for that matter), Oli could never imagine or dare to imagine that he is the protagonist. How could he see himself as such, concidering that he never felt like he belonged or fit in?

Neither could he be the confidant as... literally no one really confides in him.

That leaves the love interest and the antagonist. The very first thing Oli states in the movie is that he loved Felix but he wasn't in love with Felix. He is purposefully removing himself from the role of the love interest. That is not what he wants to be seen as, even though it is so blatantly obvious that he is in love with Felix.

A reason why he denies being the love interest is because he simply failed at being such. Felix never saw him that way, they were never a thing, quite literally he was never Felix love interest.

That only leaves one character type: The antagonist. The moment Oliver realises that he is never going to be the love interest he decides that he is going to be the last remaining role he could possibly play: the antagonist. And thus he kills Felix.

And from that point of view, painting himself as the calculated antagonist, Oliver tells his lie. He pretends that punching a hole in Felix tire wasn't a try at a love-interest meet-cute but a first step in his evil-mastermind plan. He wants you to overlook that he failed as a love interest and instead wants you to pay attention to the role he has decided to fullfill for you, for the story you're watching: the antagonist. He is telling a lie to The Audience, making himself fit in as the evil, strategic mastermind because that is the role that was left for him to fit into the story.

[awesomefringey]

Do you think Louis lives in LA part time although we haven't seen an official confirmation after he sold the house there?

tl;dr Yes.

I don't really know how to answer that, because the latest information around that, I have found to be a bit misleading?

First of all, if we are talking about Louis' house - to me - we are talking Louis' and Harry's house.

So without looking any deeper and both of them spending loads of time in LA, it makes sense to me, they would have a property/home base there. And even if they weren't there as much, properties are a great way to invest your money.

Having said that, I think it can be taken as a fact, that both Louis and Harry have no interest in giving the public a peek into their actual homes. So us not knowing about a property, doesn't mean much. Hell, this entire fandom is used to fill in the blanks.

To me, the most contradicting or as I said above - misleading moments were that pictures of Louis and Oli in an LA hotel lobby came up, some noting Louis stays there frequently and that the AOTV scenes with F in that lived-in house in LA were in fact at an Airbnb home (yes, I've seen the ad, no I won't post it to protect the owners from this fandom and I don't know if Louis wants to go there again).

Which could mean multiple things, for example that Louis uses these locations for filming or video interviews, with the neutral backgrounds and all, or b) Louis truly doesn't have a house there which is another dent in the super dad image.

But let's say these were efforts to protect his privacy, then we also need to consider Louis still very openly shares everything around the Barnet house. So I assume, since Modest installed it as his house in 2012, he just goes with it and uses it as a work space like he would with hotel rooms and Airbnb's in LA (or like Harry does with the Erskine buildings).

That was a lot for a simple question. Yes, I think Louis has a home in LA. It just makes sense to me. Check my tag living situation for more.

Onko sulla jotain suomalaista taustaa vai kiinnostuitko muuten vaan suomen kielestä?

vähän molemmista! sanoisin et kyse on monimutkaista paitsi et monilla amerikkalaisilla on ihan samoja kokemuksia :D

basically mun isoisovanhemmat muutti varsinais-suomesta Michiganiin, mut mun isoäiti oli nuorein kolmastatoista lapsista ja sen vanhemmat kuoli kun se oli viel lapsi. ja mun isoisä oli väkivaltainen kusipää joka vaati sen anna kaiken suomen kulttuurin periksi kun ne meni naimisiin, joten isäni ei koskaan tiennyt paljoa perheenjuurista tai suomesta yleisesti ottaen.

(toinen vaikeus on se et mun isoisoäidin sisko, joka jäi suomessa, ei koskaan kertonut kellekään et sillä on sisko. sen lapset tajusi et nillä on kolmetoista serkkua vasta 90-luvulla, mut toi on toista tarinaa)

nuorena mä tiesin, et mulla on suomalainen taustaa, mutten tiennyt mitään pidemmän kunnes 16v kävin suomessa isäni kans ja se kertoi mulle lapsuudesta ja kuinka paljon se toivon et se olisi ollut tiennyt sen sukua. totta puhuen ennen kun me lähdettiin olin kiinnostuneempi virossa käymiseen, mut tolla matkalla ihastuin suomen kieleen ja päätin opiskelemaan sitä. (odotin aika kauan aloittamaan haha)

tl;dr mä kovasti tykkään suomen kielestä omansa tähden, mut rakastan isää ja  kun kerron sille jotain suomesta ja näen sen onnellisuutta mun kautta oppimasta, ja toi tuntuu arvoiselta kun tunnen itseni epäonnistukselta opiskelijana!

Hey, I'm that one anon from a few weeks back who was pretty skeptical about rats 2, so i thought it would be nice to come back and share how is it going

So first of all, the negatives. Yesterday was the 1st big event of the season and I did not enjoy it too much. The story itself was okay i guess, typical halloween ghost story, but it had the minecraft server - typical problem of some people speaking way too loud and over others. I was watching from Martyn's pov and he had to mute everyone twice bc of the overstimulation, and spent lots of the event in his own or in small groups

Apart from that, honestly pretty happy with the smp? It has returned to the communal vibes of rats 1 instead of dividing everyone im groups, which is great bc it s almost imposible to log in and not meet everyone else who is logged in at the moment. That was one of pirates s worst sins imo. Also, it has small missions for the players to do, which are not that interesting tbh, but they don t take far as much time as the ones in pirates which enable the players to mostly hang out and vibe. Also the whole running away from humans is a very fun premise. The whole concept of the smp is honestly just a reprise of rats 1, which brings the question of if it is really necessary, but by now it s being fun sooo i guess it gets a pass (by now)

The environment is very chaotic, but apart from the event it doesn t usually feel like too much. The one problem is that it distracts the players from actually building lol. Talking about building, they have had lots of technical issues with the chisel and bits mod, so they have changed tl another mod which seems tl be working better, although now the players have to relearn how to build in that size. But ngl, some of them are going crazy with the building, Sniff, Eloise, Scott, Sausage and Ros mainly are CRAZY

About the players, I am only following closely a handful of them, but it s generally being a blast. Having them roleplay as rats is just silly and brings good vibes and bits. My one hot take is that although I think he's a very talented builder, I find Sausage kind of annoying in smps, and also one of the loudest during events, but that's probably a me thing. Apart from him, Tubbo and Ros have done a cult and it's delightful to watch, the Martyn and Ren duo is super fun as expected, Oli is once again the funniest fucker alive, El and Bek are amazing. A creator I didn t know too well until now is Watermunch and she's great, his laugh especially gives me seratonin

So yeah, not everything is great or super interesting but it's fun and chaotic and as much as I bash in pirates, Ros and Water were great aditions to the cast so I am glad it exists. But pleeeease someone tell them to keep calm during moments with lots of people, it's uncomfy for the watchers, some ccs get overwhelmed and others can barely speak. Another problem I ve seen is that a portion of Tubbo s chat keep metagaming, which is annoying af, but whatever ig

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it! I definitely have heard good things about treebark rats (I do think renrat having a wife is the one of. maybe the funniest things to come out of SMPs good god martyn im so. im so sorry martyn) and even though i wasn't a fan of the original i did have fun watching garbage rat clips. That impromptu music number he did with the camera angle changes is like. genuinely high art to me.

also good on martyn for knowing his limits. I can imagine it's a rough choice to make in the moment what with the pressure to perform and whatnot.

o7 hope those rats keep ratting

Hello there, friend.

I see you have found my blog. My deepest condolences. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy your stay here! ^^

Here's a link to a page where you can learn everything there is to know about me!

. . .

No? Not satisfied? Back for more? Well then, here's an easier breakdown for you:

Call me Pho! (Or Ki)

My pronouns are she/they (mostly?) + bonus prns if you want. Don't always vibe with labels because the thing with labels is that they Change Often, but tumblr decided that I’m aroace so that’s the closest you’ll get I think 👍

I mostly post about MCYT (Empires, Hermitcraft, Life Series, etc), but there's some multifandom stuff sprinkled in there as well. This includes but is not limited to: dunmeshi, steven universe, the owl house, gravity falls, luca, wings of fire, miraculous ladybug, etc

I'm the admin of the @bad-traffic-smp-ideas blog! Come check it out if you're interested in life series stuff, we have fun <3

I'll occasionally reblog religious things, as I am religious. I currently don't tag for it (or tag for most other things for that matter) but if you ask politely I'd be happy to ^^

Legally, I'm an adult, so if you're one of the "18+ dni" people, don't follow! (Adult content levels are typically pretty low, though.)

We're a DID system, so sometimes headmates are a bit silly on main. Collective name is Noodles and collective pronouns are they/them if you're wondering! (pronouns.cc <- sys intro thing)

I have a sideblog for more personal and sys-related things that mutuals + friends from discord + whoever I deem worthy enough can follow. If you think you're one of these people, dm to ask for it :)

I also have a sideblog where I'll reblog all my art from here. It's a wip, but it'll be tagged here when it's done being set up ^^

Don't get us involved in discourse, we don't care.

[Sona ref coming soon, promise]

(Tag system + more under cut!)

“pho.posts” - my original posts!

“pho.asks” - asks for me :3c

“pho.reblogs” - reblogs from other people

"pho.saves" - me saving things for later

“pho.doodles” - my art :)

"pho.writes" - my (occasional) writing lol

"pho.crochets" - the rare crochet project...

"pho.polls" - occasional poll idk

“leftover.noodles” - self reblogs, or something like that

"butterflies.and.wind.chimes" - au tag! tl;dr it's Empires s1 but Oli TheOrionSound is there and him and Joel are goofy together ^^ (<- if I'm talking about an au, 95% of the time it's this one)

[au masterpost here!]

. . .

If you made it to the very end, drop a like! I love you <3

I have seen some of you mention that in botw/totk a Gerudo man has not been born in a good while right?

I don't have means to verify this rn, so if what I will say is complete bullshit please correct me

But

How likely it is that there was not Gerudo man born in a while not because of some magical bs

But because of infanticide?

Because it would be too silly if the only man Gerudo are allowed to have is G-dorf

Again, what I am saying is likely completely wrong, given how I base this on unverified information

But given how there is little to know mention of Ganondorf in universe (Zelda litteraly says that he is nole ever referred to as Demon King), I find it likely that Ganondorf's actions were seen by antient Gerudo as something to be ashamed off, and I find it likely, that they could want to prevent the repeating of it... By making sure there is not another Gerudo Man born.

As well as that it is likely that Ganondorf probably was litteraly erased from history because of what he did.

Sure it is ANTIENT history for now days gerudo, and many things are lost, considered legends, but there is STILL a legend about the Imprisoning War. Sure there would be at least SOME inso about him in the gerudo, right? Right!? Oly except there is nothing about him.

I think what happened is that after the imprisoning war Ganondorf was hacked out of history, and if any new gerudo men were born, they likely were killed in the crib to prevent another bloodthirsty King rise to the throne. Which probably lead to many of those boys being hidden and never told about who they are and ripped away from gerudo culture.

With time as everything was turning to antient history rampant baby killing must have stopped, but because of a "no boys allowed" rule of Gerudo Town, none of them probably ever been there and stayed unknown to the history, leading to a belief that there has not been a Gerudo Man born in a long long time.

TL;DR: It's probably likely that there were Gerudo men born after Ganondorf's imprisoning, but there is a high chance that they were killed/never introduced into the gerudo society because of the fear that what Ganondorf did would happen again

FULL BIO

tl;dr.

mavis grew up on the road in a cargo van with her mom libby and younger half-sister cricket. her mom was pretty erratic and oftentimes neglectful, and tensions built until she was sixteen and decided to leave to find her father in chicago. he and his family took her in, and the second half of her life has been marked by stability. it took a turn when she turned thirty-two, leading to a premature mid-life crisis, and it came to a head with an unpleasant reunion with her mother. she uprooted herself, quit her job, and tracked cricket to aurora bay, where she's been for a week now.

family.

mother: libby campbell

father: oliver kaplan

half-sister (mother's side): cricket campbell

cousins (mother's side): atlas nolan, scottie nolan

personality.

+ self-reliant, inventive, adaptable

– impulsive, non-committal, dishonest

tidbits.

has literally always had at least one book on hand. when she was a kid and couldn't get a library card because she didn't have a permanent address to prove residency, she'd swipe books and return them with an apology note. if they'd already left a place before she finished, she would mail them back

loves a good lie. it was hard to avoid it when she was a kid for a number of reasons, but it's a habit she's never really been able to shake and, unsurprisingly, still gets her into trouble a lot.

has a golden retriever named carlo who's currently being pet-sat back in chicago. (she's definitely going to be getting him sent to her if she finds a more long term solution than her airbnb. she's already having withdrawal symptoms without him)

her younger half-siblings on her dad's side (teddy and lena) are twenty-seven and twenty-four now and both still live in chicago. they have a standing dinner every second wednesday of the month at mavis's apartment. they also have dinners at their parents' every other sunday

she still calls her dad oliver or oli. she tried out the 'dad' thing with him and found it just couldn't stick. it's not a pointed comment on his absence through half of her life, as that wasn't his fault, but there is some kind of mental block there

most of her writing is at least a little semi-autobiographical, either taken from her experiences as a kid or adapted from stories she used to tell cricket. she has bits and pieces of something longer-form in the works, but just can't seem to put all of them together in a coherent way

pretty much always has to be stimulated one way or the other. she's always either reading or listening to something and can't sleep without white noise

she didn't actually have to quit her job. she'd been there long enough that she could've asked to work fully remote and kept doing it in AB, or she could've taken vacation time, but she's the all-or-nothing kind. she's depending on savings for now but it obviously isn't sustainable.

connections.
