#please drop recommendations

I need more doomed Yuri. Not doomed in the sense that like their relationship won’t work out but like…doomed by circumstance. Doomed by fate. Doomed because they loved each other so strongly, so violently, so transcendently that everything else is destroyed by the force of it.

I want Yuri that’s doomed but the love persists so viciously that it dooms everyone. I want Shakespearean levels of tragedy Yuri.

I want Yuri that that is feral and untamable. I want Yuri that is beautiful and terrifying and ferocious. Yuri that annihilates anything and everything that dares stand in its way.

please please please vote. it is always infinitely better to be fighting for more, and better, progress than to be spending time defending what should have been settled.

For todaaaay's 3D alter, it's the Japanese version of One Piece, Volume 1! I've been a huge fan of one piece for a while, so this one felt like a no-brainer to make! The wood and Luffy's soles have been textured so they reflect the materials they're made from! It's my first time trying this technique after Laios' armor in my previous Dungeon Meshi cover, so I hope it's come out well!

proper reupload in the high quality this fantastic segment so deserves; eagle pig and duck bias notwithstanding, this will forever be my favorite variant of the fabled switcheroo (and a reminder that Daffy was first at his own game!) the committal on behalf of both characters--especially the sincerity of Daffy's feigned sincerity--really sets it apart

Somebody PLEASE PLEASE give me Jegulus fics to read!! (Preferably not soul and heart crushing ones, I’m not in the right headspace to read those at the moment :”)

But please not the very well known ones as I’ve probably either; read it or choosing not to.

I welcome promoting your own fic or just your absolute favourite that you think is very underrated! You can drop as many recommendations as you’d like, Top 3 or 5 or more— I don’t mind! I deeply appreciate it MWAH MWAH TYSM!!! 🫶🩵

hi! decided I wanted to give the dn musical a watch after seeing your posts and since you seem like a connoisseur, could you recommend the best version and maybe drop a link if you know where to watch? thank youu 🙏🙏

I just want to let you know that I feel so honored to be called a dn musical conoisseur I am honored that my mad ramblings have earned me this title LOL

I don't know if there is a definitive "best" version, but the version that I watched (and the version that I used for my last post) was the 2017 Jp version with Kenji Urai. I mostly watched that one because Kenji Urai's performance was the one I saw referred to most often in clips/screenshots, but I also personally ended up loving his acting, especially when it came to showing Light's unhinged sides in certain scenes :) (I'm sorry Hayato fans unfortunately I haven't gotten around to watching his performances yet, though I may at some point)

There is an upload of the 2017 Kenji version on vimeo, which is where I watched it. It's hardsubbed and it's probably going to be one of the first results when you look up "Death Note musical 2017" so it's pretty easy to find! Unfortunately the video quality isn't super high, but that's kinda the price you have to pay, haha (if anyone does know of a higher quality upload though, do let me know!)

Welcome to the dn musical club soldier 🫡🫡🫡

which Hannibal fic have you read that has stayed with you ever since? For me it’s A past of plank and nail

I'm sure someone smarter than me has said all this before, but 7000 vampire spawn, over roughly 200 years (let's just use that number y'know, why not), is just like. 35 per year. On average, give or take. With the Faerunian calendar of 36*10 days to a year, that's just about one person per tenday.

And going by the rules on "Handling Undead Hunger" outlined in Libris Mortis (yes it's 3.5E but the most complete guide on the undead in DnD that I know of), a vampire would need to feed roughly every 3 days in order to be comfortable.

30-some missing persons going unaccounted for over the course of a year in a city with as much crime as Baldur's Gate, is... probably reasonable, but there's likely at least some indication of an upper limit to how many mysterious disappearences the Flaming Fist will just not bother investigating. I don't recall there being mention of anything like willing blood donors or anything (if there were some and I just missed it this whole thing falls apart btw), but to go out and nab a new person each time ~~Master~~ is feeling peckish, that's just. That's just unsustainable. That'd be 120 people per year, or 2.5 per tenday. At that pace, not only would they have all gotten caught, they'd have completed the ritual in like under 60 years (which, from Sebastian just being alive, we know they got started at least 170 years ago).

So if we assume that the number of those brought in remained at least kinda consistent regardless of how many spawn were out actively hunting (20-50 per year sounds... kinda realistic), it could be reasonable to also assume that each victim was, on average, the "meal" for roughly ten days before ultimately being drained fully and turned. (Yes, I thought about draining them first and keeping bloodbanks, but... leaving them alive to keep them fresher for longer is more cruel, so lbr, it's more likely.)

It's... probably halfway reasonable then to assume then that Cazador fed off the average victim like 2-4 times, over the course of a number of days, no?

There's some room for variation in that number of course, like there were probably leaner years at the start, and later with 7 spawn all hunting consistently, the time between each was probably somewhat shorter, plus there were likely cases (like Astarion) when there was only one bite total. Maybe sometimes more were brought in at once for those parties that were mentioned, only to be..... stored, and uh..... enjoyed over the course of the next... however long time, during which the "favored" spawn maybe even got to "enjoy" some downtime.

so. that's a series of fun (not relly) thoughts.

I swear, every time I think about Cazador for whatever reason, that whole shitshow just gets worse.

[btw if we take Astarion's "I've bedded thousands" comment literally and assume he personally brought in around 2000 over ~170 years of being a spawn (there could be fewer and he could be rounding up like he consistently rounds 170 up to 200, but if it's significantly more, his siblings all must seriously suck at hunting), that's roughly an average of like... 12 people a year. Which is bad, of course, don't get me wrong, but I honestly halfway expected it to be a much less realistic-sounding number, I guess.]

I feel like a lot of the bad faith interpretations, and straight up misinterpretations, of Dany stem from not recognizing that, maybe tied with Bran, she's probably the least literal POV character.

While yes, Dany the teenage girl is an interesting character in her own right, her story is not primarily a 'psychological' character story. She's symbolic of the larger social movements that she leads, and, more than being an individual literal character, she embodies a sociological story.

Which is why not only does MaD qUeEn Dany not make sense with what's established, it would be incredibly problematic if GRRM DID go down that path. And I don't just mean because it's a tired, sexist trope.

any other creators/writers/newspapers u would rec instead of dhruv? i don’t trust a full time influencer

dhruv rathee did contribute in the mainstream debunking of common right wing bullshit but he's still a softcore sanghi to be honest. for news, i would recommend the wire news, news laundry, alt news, khabar lahariya, sabrang india and mai bhi bharat because they are independent media compared to the PEGASUS controlled mainstream media. for creators i would recommend the ranting gola, mohammed zubair, vimoh, faye de souza and abhishek banerjee - they are quite informative. but once again i would personally say to see through these accounts once and choose what you want, because some of them might be liberal leaning sometimes.

and i forgot, even though it's like a memepage the savala vada's account on instagram i would recommend not only for their satire but for their stories, they post news articles from anti right sources.
