There is something endearing and fascinating about The Witcher 3 male's face characteristics. The moles. Aquiline noses. Greek features for some. Prominent Renaissance-like foreheads. I am IN LOVE.
You can understand so much about their physiognomy just by staring at them.
This is how you make a character attractive. It is not about how "clean" or "neat" they are. The wrinkles, the frown, the eyes, the shape of the lips.. This is so much more enticing to me.

I love Johnathan "It seems my academic detachment has fled me" Sims with my whole heart, and honestly it's because he's a fucking prick. He spends all of season 1 genuinely being a massive asshole, and not just on the outside, he's a prick through and through. I think there's an instinct to justify his behavior because people like him, but I think that's discounting what makes him interesting.
Yes, when he lies and pretends that he is skeptical, it is out of self-preservation. It is out of fear. But he allows his fear to become something that hurts the people around him. He implies to multiple people, traumatized people looking for help, that they're delusional. To their faces. It's not the only thing he says, but he says it with a heavy tone of condescension and irritation, two things that vulnerable frightened people do not need. Both Martin and Sasha almost end up dead because they're convinced that John won't take them seriously if they don't have good enough evidence of their experiences. He's a huge asshole to Martin for literally no reason. You aren't obligated to like everybody, but goddamn, John, some thoughts are inside thoughts!
And then he realizes that he's a massive prick, at some point in the latter half of season 2. Really realizes it, realizes how much his actions impact the people around him. And he doesn't really stop for a long time, arguably he doesn't stop ever. But holy shit, he tries. He tries with everything in his entire being to be better. He puts his whole life into being better than he was, into trying to fix what he feels he broke, and he will try and try and try until his hands bleed and his legs collapse under him because he let people suffer under his watch and by his own hand and Never Again. I think that's why he leans so hard into sacrificing himself, it's the cumulative guilt of everything, even stuff before the Magnus Institute, and he really does think that he can only be good if he destroys himself in the process because what the hell has ever been good about him?
And that's horrifying, and tragic, and fascinating. God, he's such a good character

I'm about to cry... prebook Darry has just turned 20 and has to raise his 16 and 13 year old brothers... y'all I just turned 20 and I have a 17 (close enough to soda) and 13 year old brother... my 17 year old brother would be helpful, he has a job, he could help with bills if I had to raise them. My 13 year old brother! He still wants hugs from his older sister before he goes to bed, he's cute and innocent and can be so troublesome at the same time!!!! I can imagine Pony might not have been much different! If all of the sudden my role as his older sibling changed to his guardian and I had to figure out how to raise them!? If i try to parent him rn he gives me the "your not my mom" and goodness Pony probably would give Darry that too! Darry didn't want to be roofing houses, but it was what would pay the bills! He wanted to be at college! I still live at home and I love it but I also want to have my own life, have a place of my own. Darry just started having a life of his own and he has to make the choice to give it up until both brothers are 18 before he can go live his own life again. Just putting myself in Darry's shoes a bit and I know I'm a girl and he's a guy but have no idea how he didn't break down crying sooner! It took him 8 months and a lot more trauma before he broke! Never could I ever!

ngl i really hope the Chidaruma/Damemaru situation end up with both being separate entities who cannot coexist, it would be pretty disapointing if Damemaru is just "Chidaruma without memories lol".
It's just my opinion but i want it to be something like what Aikawa and Hole had on Dorohedoro mid story, everything Aikawa knew Hole knew but not viceversa. And Hole getting his own body basically killed Aikawa.
Damemaru is his own person and has his own identity separated from chidaruma but Chidaruma sees Damemaru as an extention of himself, he lets Damemaru exists to "experience what being human is like" but when the 5000 years pass, he just gets the body's control back and Damemaru ceases to exist. Think of it has like steven universe rose/steven idk.
Dai Dark hasn't ended yet so there's still a lot to see and maybe Q can work with the "they're the same person/can coexist" in a satisfactory way but that's yet to be seen
#dai dark spoilers#dai dark#hajime damemaru#chidaruma#dorohedoro#aikawa#kai#rambling about stuff#this doesnt make a lot of sense but i writte this to get the thoughts out of my brain#a lot of mutuals will disagree with this take ik ik

Me trying to remember how to draw my dog-faced kid + design her some pjs. Her proportions are super weird and I never intended to draw her with clothes, so... ksdfsd I really liked the bottom right one with those pants, but it didn't really look like pjs. Alas. At least I got to take off the shoes and gloves. Look at those long, gangly, claws! ... If she hardly takes baths/brushes her fur/ect, you think she's going to keep her claws nice? xD I could also see her being a nail-biter, but she's normally always wearing her gloves, so nah.
I wrote a whole preamble to her going to the sleepover in my head, but... Eh. Iono if I'll bother to actually write it down. It's kind of just depressing anyway. dsfkjsdl Besides fankids not really being my thing, there was another big reason I didn't want to make any. In my OC lore, there is a place where all the unused ideas, primarily CRACKSHIP KIDS, go if they don't actually "exist"... And it's a really, really bad place. I knew I'd have to send any fankid I made there because I seriously doubt I'll ever write a fic/au that would result in BABIES. Starfish and Oshi are "Kit x Tails" kids, but... Which Kit and Tails? Oh, none of them? Because I didn't actually make them parents? Welp, into the hellscape the kids go!! RIP. xD;;;
... Well dang, since I already rambled that much, I may as well continue. They can get pulled from that dimension temporarily for certain extenuating circumstances. In this case, there was a purpose to be fulfilled, set by someone other than myself. So literally, Starfish is being given a little breather from her terrible not-existence to go to a slumber party. That's why she went out of her way to wash/brush her fur, steal some nice pjs, ect. Why she was so freakin' nervous. She wanted so terribly to be able to have any time at all out of there. Also, like? Sleeping in a house? FOOD? Yooooo! Nevermind that it's a princess, those things would be luxuries no matter whose house it was. ... Poor Oshi, tho. Lololo
Alright, I guess I'm done rambling now. Sorry I'm mean to my ocs. Also, who is even reading this. ???

What are your thoughts on Jack goodman and David Kessler ?
( also sorry for all the aawil asks )
HAHAHA YOU'RE OKAY!!
for your headcanon ask I've actually been trying to compile a list of headcanons i have so I haven't answered it juuuussstttt yet ... but this is an easier one to answer
simple answer: GOD i love them.
long answer: AUGGHHHHHHH. what all could i say? i feel like i sound fucking crazy whenever i start talking about interests because i am the most overly hyper person having conversations about just Things with people and this is one of those things.
jack is a fucking hoot, he's funny and i love the fact he's just bothering david constantly with "kys david <3" as any true friend would /j — i wish we could've seen more of him before he died because it definitely seems like his character altered quite a bit after he got trapped in limbo but nonetheless i really did enjoy his character
david was the silliest little guy to become a werewolf, and the same goes for him about learning more about him before the werewolf attack — i really do think before the attack they were just Two Guys™ doing Guy Stuff™ but i also really enjoyed their after-attack counterparts
quite frankly I'm just a person who immediately points at two people and goes "you've probably kissed at least once" and unfortunately jack and david did not get excluded in that mindset whilst i watched the film
aside from me just being a silly multishipper i really do wwwiish we could've gotten to see them more before the attack ; i know time and all of that and keeping the story going, but also i do strongly believe after the attack they became 2 completely different characters – i mean shit one of them became a werewolf and the other became a spiteful spirit who wants his friend to khs just so he could leave limbo & so no one else died (too bad he didn't get that second wish)
i really enjoy plots where it is just "guys doing dumb shit and getting caught up in dumber shit" and jack and david captured that type of plot perfectly whilst still managing to stay the same dumbasses all throughout the entire movie
bit of a ramble there but i think you might like to hear about this movie just a bit so I'm sure it's not that bad if i rambled /silly+lht
#aawil#rambling about stuff#they're not GAY persay but they definitely just seem like homiesexuals#does that make sense#they're just fucking silly man idk 💀#i love those two dumbasses#stupid stupid men#my favorite types of characters unfortunately

Just visited the National WWII museum down in New Orleans earlier this week. And it rekindled my love for history! Anyway, here are some plane doodles during the trip back.
Joe Liebgott from Band of Brothers and Louise Zamperini from Unbroken.
The trip made me also want to revisit my old college thesis film. So who knows, guess I gotta find something to do until TBB season 3.

Hello there, beautiful Adagio! ✨🌷
How are you? I haven't been here for a few days, I hope you had a good and peaceful week 💗✨
I was stopping by so I could vent my excitement to someone about Macken's new collaboration with Assassin's Creed 😭. I don't know if by chance you've played or seen anything from any of the games, but in my case, I'm very fond of the franchise because it was one of the first full games I played and they have a special place in my heart, so it's certainly exciting that Macken is in the game that is about to come out 🥹
Really, I didn't expect it at all, and the most shocking thing is that, hours before the announcement that Macken would participate in the game was released, I was talking with some friends about Assasins's Creed, in addition to replaying my favorite of the franchise. That was one of those coincidences that leave you thinking a little about the twists and turns that fate takes, I guess 🤣
Also, it's nice to see that he's expanding into new horizons, I don't know if by any chance he has participated in another game before, but I understand that he hasn't. Gennojo, his character in the game, looks interesting in what they showed, despite being an NPC, I'm sure he will be one of the characters who will gain the most affection from the players. It's nice to see Macken gaining more recognition ✨
In other news, I started writing the Aktha fic! You really motivated me with your words, in addition to helping me with certain insecurities I had about whether to do it or not, I consider you my favorite writer on the platform and your words felt very nice, so I thank you for that, sweet lady 🫶🏻✨. And I know, he had very few appearances! I would have liked to see more of his participation, besides that it helps to have a better internal perception of the character, but it also makes it interesting to study him a little more; Everything has its pros and cons.
Although, I've had some blocks as to how to develop certain things. Doesn't it happen to you that you start to have ideas for future scenarios, but you first have to develop other things before you get there? Because it happens to me very often! It's as if I know where I want to go, what I want to convey, but first I must focus on what precedes that. Do you have any tips for writer's block? Something that has worked for you in those cases, I would greatly appreciate it 🙏🏻
Reading your previous answer because there was something I wanted to point out from that, is that Kotz's film doesn't really follow the events of the anime exactly as is. Yes, it maintains the original idea and one or another important event that had to be mentioned to give more logic and dynamism to the adaptation, but it clearly has its creative freedoms. The thing is that I understand that the Live Action director wanted to make his own adaptation, because of something that Macken said in an interview about how he had not seen the original material at the director's request and that in this way Macken would make his own version of Seiya.
If you want some help regarding the anime, I'll be happy to help you with whatever I can and you need! Actually, the anime is extremely long and has some filler seasons, plus some are non-canonical. I'm at your service for whatever you need ✨
I couldn't find Brass Dreams on Dailymotion unfortunately, I think the universe doesn't want me to see it 😭 But I really appreciate your help, beautiful, you gave me hope 🫶🏻✨
Another thing to note from your previous response is that you could never disappoint us! You put your heart into everything you write and it shows, your stories are incredible, you manage to portray very well what you want to convey and I can assure you that that is the general feeling of anyone who reads your content. You have a beautiful and creative talent, sweetness, it's great that you can express it in each chapter or story, and we will be here enjoying your art every time you upload something new 🫂✨
Take your time, without pressure, enjoy what you write and publish it when you feel satisfied, even if it takes many corrections, blocks and starting over. That's okay, I guess we've all been there, the important thing is that in the end you love what you did and feel proud of it. Have a good time with your words and stories, it is impossible to be disappointed in something that was made with so much love 🌸✨
I really appreciate that you read me, no matter how much I ramble about Macken and his magic with his characters, it feels good to be read and understood 😭🫶🏻. I think of you as a cool older sis who you can have conversations with about anything without being judged, that gives a very peaceful energy.
Here I say goodbye, I wish you a nice day/night, depending on the time you read this. Remember that everything you create is worthwhile and deserves recognition, but the most important thing is that you also enjoy doing it and find a safe place in it. You are amazing, Lady Pau! Never doubt that 💗✨
With love and admiration, your faithful reader who is happy to chat with you once again, 🌙✨
hi lovely! welcome back 🫶
i've been okay. just in the writing cave, researching whatnot. i've been working on something samurai lore related which is coming to you soon 😏
how have you been lovely? hope you've had a good week so far. if not, i can only hope it gets brighter.
i have seen the announcement haha. i have not played the games, since i'm not big on gaming, but i always wanted to try them out since i always saw them advertised everywhere while growing up. i saw the movie and i know about the lore and i think it's a really cool series. i am also really happy macken joined in. i saw he said in an interview that he'd like to join the cast of the netflix series once they get the green light and find a showrunner. his character in the games sounds just like him haha. i'm glad he took part in it.
it was really coincidental for me too cause me and my sister were talking about the movie all of last week. it kept getting put on tv and i never saw it start to end and we were looking for it. then the announcement dropped haha. fate or not it's a cool thing.
i am so proud of you for starting your fic! it takes courage to lay down an idea and it's the first step. the fact that you took that one already means you're dedicated to it.
you can always focus on what the media doesn't portray. try take some of his personality traits and expand on them. him turning from a hero to an anti hero and why that happened. wear his shoes for a moment and think with his mind. why is it so pressuring to be the hero? why is it easier to renounce that nature? and also the fact that he returns to being the hero in his last moments. think of the outside forces at play - what or who makes him go in and out of hero mode. keep asking the questions and the answers will come as you write!
yeah, i do go through writer's block sometimes. i'm glad it's not as bad as before now. i try to keep consuming stuff even if i feel like i can't get the writing going. read something you like. for me it's either watching romcoms and analysing what makes them so good to me personally, or reading about history.
i happen to be a big history nerd and i keep trying to get my hands on all kinds of books depending on what i feel like reading. at one moment it could be baroque art (which i worked off for crimson desire), history and mythology of early civilizations (which i'm still using for the seiya fic), or just life journey books to develop the deeper relationships between your characters.
they may sit on my shelf as my excitement for buying them dwindles, but one worrisome night i look over and i just pick one of them up and flip through it. and our dear friend google is still free! thank god. just pick something you're curious about and go research the heck oit of it. start with the basics on wiki, go over news articles, scholar articles, videos. treat it as a discovery of something you're passionate about.
the developing thing is vital for the story. it's the thought process of your characters, it's how the scene gets to where you want it to get. don't be afraid to grab a sheet of paper and plan it out. map a timeline. put your initial scene at the bottom and where you think you want to start it and think of what is trivial to happen before you reach the final point.
but most important of all: listen to your characters! they will tell you when to slow it down, when to amp it up.
hope this helps in some way. just remember to also rest when you feel like the characters or the draft or the story themselves don't want to speak to you. sometimes resting gives you more ideas to work off.
about kotz, i did some research and i noticed it doesn't really follow the anime. the story i crafted is mostly based on the movie and i really don't want to change it. i got the idea for a character that's really dear to me and a journey unlike anything i've ever written and i really want to tell it as it is, following the movie. but i appreciate the help hun. i shall come to you in case i need more help 🫠
IF, and that's a big if, i have ideas for more seiya content trust in me i will try to go over the series too. i want to give my stories as much attention as i can because i want them to read well and be something i would read, which is why at times i go in too deep and forget to come out of the research hole. and it's also why it takes so long to get stuff out there.
i'm so sad you couldn't find brass dreams 😭 have you tried the dramacool sites. sometimes you have to search it by the japanese name. one of those has to have it. keep looking for it hun. i'm sure you will find it somewhere. it couldn't have just disappeared off the face of the earth 😭
also thank you for your kind words. i just get really passionate about what i work on and sometimes i read it back over and over and i feel like it could be way better. i keep going at editing like a madman, especially nowadays and its left me asking myself "is this really my writing?" and then i have to remind myself "why am i writing this story? why is it so important to me?".
writing is an up and down process. most times you love it, but other times it hits you like a brick that you can't even see coming. it would be a missing plot line or disorganised notes or something about a word or a sentence that doesn't read right to you. but at the end you came back to read backwards and you love it all dearly. even if you momentarily feel like it sucks, it's your own work. you owe the version of you that started it and to the version of you that dreams that story every night to keep going. and then you fall deeper in love with it.
once again, thank you for reading my stuff. i don't want them to be just quick fics. i want them to be stories you get to like. if they left such a big impression to get you writing or looking at life from a different perspective too then i am the happiest 🫶
and omg you don't ramble 😭 it's okay. i ramble about him in my head too. it's all good! life is sweeter when you have people that share in your enthusiasm. i've got so many sisters here all thanks to this big guy that i wish i could one day meet all of you in real life. i will forever be grateful to him for this. forever.
and reminder that you can talk to me anything, anytime. i know how it feels to have not a soul around to talk to, which is why i try to be there and present for everyone in my life, as big or small our connection may be. it's kindness to let someone feel understood. i hope you feel welcomed coming here, no matter what it is you want to say or get off your chest. this is a safe space for anyone who needs it ❤️
thank you for coming by! hope the rest of your week goes well and you have a restful weekend coming.
sendings love and hugs your way ❤️❤️❤️

So in October of last year this current hyperfixation on Ghostbusters started (I was already hyperfixated on the series once like years ago but it came back and stronger than before) but something I didn't expect to get with this round of hyperfixating on Ghostbusters was also hyperfixating on Harold Ramis which I rarely get hyperfixated on people actually I can't even think of another time I have been so that's something

Woof, that Constellations reveal!! How come Gwyn knows which psychologist Ef saw at Hillview but not what happened with Henton?
Oooo this is an awesome question.
So there's a few layers to this, thank you for enabling my rambling, this won't be a short answer.
The main reason is simply that Efnisien didn't want him to know. And given that Efnisien's privacy had been violated unconscionably repeatedly at Hillview, Dr Gary wasn't in a rush to tell Gwyn ap Nudd, especially because (in this particular world I'm writing lol) he had no legal obligation to. Efnisien was a legal adult at the time the recorded assaults took place, and his choices actually matter.
Like, it wasn't like Gwyn was getting regular progress reports or anything once Efnisien was in Hillview, and he certainly got a lot less as soon as Efnisien became a legal adult. Gwyn was notified of some bare bones stuff in the hospital because Efnisien's life was in danger and frankly doctors and psychologists tend to be a bit more open while someone's life is in danger in a hospital (and Efnisien wasn't formally enrolled at Hillview yet or living there).
But after that, most of what Gwyn knew about Hillview he learned directly from Efnisien. Efnisien would have told him that he was seeing Dr Henton while he was still verbal / talking.
Once the sexual abuse and assault started, Efnisien went fully nonverbal for some months afterwards. Not just with Dr Gary, but also with Gwyn. All Gwyn knows is that, all of a sudden, Efnisien has gone nonverbal and changed psychologists.
Gwyn assumed this was because Efnisien relapsed and started hurting other people, and his attitude actually changed around Efnisien after that, and Efnisien never corrected him because he never saw the point.
Not only that, but it's in Efnisien's records that Gwyn has been abusive to Efnisien. They allow his visitations, but Efnisien has also disclosed that Gwyn has broken bones in his face, beaten him, and been violent towards him, and while Efnisien didn't know this was being written in his general file - the staff certainly knew of Gwyn in context of 'actual abuser visiting Efnisien on occasion.'
So they don't exactly have incentive to say 'heyyyyy...abuser of Efnisien that we allow him to see because his mental health dives without you, we're just going to share that he was abused by another guy in case you want to like...abuse him over that too.' It's not like Gwyn is 'just a concerned cousin' - he's not an immediate family member, he's a point of contact, but he's a point of contact with caveats, like 'we know Efnisien has stated clearly he needs to see Gwyn, but we don't like him' caveats. They're not going to rush to give Gwyn tools to harm Efnisien.
And he would have.
And Efnisien knew he would have.
This is really vital. All along, Efnisien has always assumed Gwyn would say 'well that's what you deserve' re: Henton's actions (or 'now you know what it's like I guess') and we know Gwyn would have said something like that, based on how he reacts to Efnisien being harmed during Falling Falling Stars.
Like, Gwyn's attitude changes over time, but Efnisien and the staff are right to think that Gwyn would hurt Efnisien with the knowledge that he'd been abused by staff at Hillview.
So yeah, and also like... Dr Gary tried to get Efnisien to press charges, he even brought lawyers in, and Efnisien just...didn't talk. Refused to talk to anyone. While he couldn't verbally consent to literally anything, they erred on the side of caution. Probably the only thing he insisted on was staying at Hillview, because he knew Gwyn would only keep seeing him if he went to Hillview.
And that is why Efnisien stayed at Hillview, after Henton assaulted him. :(
Because Gwyn blackmailed him into staying there.
Idk if Gwyn would ever find that out, because it'll break his heart in Constellations if he realises. But like, Efnisien didn't want to go stay at a place where he was regularly abused and assaulted, but he did, because he was so desperate to keep the one lifeline he had.
Anyway yeah, there's a few reasons basically why Gwyn knew the name of the psychologist only, and then nothing else!
And a lot of it was purely that Efnisien never wanted him to know, and the folks around him respected that.
#asks and answers#gwyn ap nudd#efnisien ap wledig#falling falling stars#rambling about stuff#so much rambling so much stuff#i have a lot of feelings about gwyn pulling the whole#'if you go to hillview i'll keep seeing you'#(because i know you're in love with me)#'and if you don't i'll never see you again'#'and you have to *try*'#i like to imagine efnisien frantically shaking his head#when dr gary suggests compassionately and with great sympathy#that he can transfer efnisien to any centre at all#so he never has to see the place at all#and it makes me sad

Oh my god Dandies in Danger just hit me in the heart again- and no I'm not gonna stop posting about it because the audience is so small and I want to take a megaphone and just scream out to the entire world about how good this is-
There's a scene in Episode 14 of Arc 4 that I just finished that genuinely made me emotional in a very personal way. It's a scene between Liam and Adrian, who have been friends for a long time, where Liam apologizes to Adrian for taking him on a 5 hour shopping spree. Now, Liam is a very kindhearted, enthusiastic, social butterfly type, who was very excited to go get some nice clothes and even more excited to hang out with Adrian. Adrian is a very moody poet who (I don't know if this is intended, but still) comes off as probably being autistic. He's very blunt, he's hyper-aware of how other people are perceiving him and his actions, he tends to directly describe his feelings when he pushes himself to be vulnerable with his friends, he's prone to sensory overwhelm, and ect. Some of these traits probably overlap with his clear depression and anxiety as well. He likes Liam a lot, he's definitely his best friend, and he chooses to go shopping because he wants to go hang out with Liam. But the streets are very busy and loud and there are a lot of people, and by the end of the outing he's utterly exhausted. Unfortunately they end up getting swept into an adventure the same day, which involves so much socializing and dancing and investigating and it's a lot.
In the middle of this adventure, Liam and Adrian find some time alone, and Liam stops to check in on him. And he says that he's sorry for not considering Adrian's feelings during the shopping trip. He got caught up in the excitement of it and forgot that this is very overwhelming for Adrian, and he wanted to make sure Adrian knew that it wasn't on purpose and that he didn't want it to happen again. And Adrian says
"It's fine. I know most people can do this every day of the week. Well- maybe not the- the adventure thing- but-"
"I understand. But perhaps next time, if you do want to go with me again on a shopping trip, we spread it out a bit."
And like. Y'all. I damn near teared up. I'm a person with an incredibly low social bandwidth. I have very few friends that I keep very close. And this reminded me so much of how of my own friends have reacted to me when I expressed my own struggles. Or more accurately in some cases, when they noticed the struggles I was failing to express. Especially when I was worried that they would be offended or put off by those things. Things like a friend guiding me by the hand in a crowd because I was so overwhelmed by it all that I was literally shaking and could barely move. Or a friend readily accepting my rejection of a hug and instead thinking up a silly handshake we could do with our jacket sleeves on the spot so that I would feel included without being uncomfortable. And just- jesus christ. It's one of the single nicest feelings I've ever had, and it was deeply cathartic to see that kind of relationship in this show. These characters have become very important to me in such a short amount of time, and I really think that's a testament to the ability of their players. So, thank you Dandies Team. You made me feel very seen :)
#ANYWAYS THATS the end of my Ted talk#you'll find that your bindings have been loosened and the exit is now unlocked please take care as you#leave the sun can be quite a harsh shock after so long underground#dandies in danger#dandiesindanger#DinD#ttrpg#ttrpg podcast#rpg podcast#rpg#dnd podcast#dnd show#rambling about stuff

Thinking about fandom "Watchers"
It theory, its also a thing in whatever universe I'm writing for.. Just not as all-knowing or all-encompassing as the general consensus is. Like.. a bunch of stuck up researchers in lab coats kinda vibes.
Maybe my Grian was also a watcher once upon a time. But it was a case of "Neo was drawn into taking the whatever pill because the people recruiting him had mystical powers and always wore swanky suits and shades but what they didn't tell him was that when he was outside he had nothing but rags and only had oatmeal to eat". While I'm talking about more surface level stuff, I'm sure there's some deeper stuff in there than can be talked about but I haven't really dug too deep on the whole thing.
Him kidnapping meeting Mumbo was the push he needed to leave.

As the days get shorter, and the nights get colder, it can only mean one thing - It's time for Great British Bake Off! And Bake Off always gets me in the mood to, well, bake. So I decided it'd be fun to follow along, and make something related to every week. This week was cake week, so I made a marbled orange and chocolate cake.


#rambling about stuff#gbbo#the great british bake off#cake week#i made this cake on thursday and i kept forgetting to actually make a post about it 😅#i almost did attempt making a vertical layer cake. but i somehow managed to lose my cocoa powder#and i had to go over the shops mid-bake so i could buy some more#at which point it was like really? i'm sticking with your bog standard cake!#for the record. my animal cake would've been a capybara. it would've been a citrus cake with yuzu buttercream. and it would've been lovely!

My character in Baldur's Gate 3, Selakiir Arkentlar, Early Access vs Full Release. (I have used Customizor's Compedium in both screenshots for the faces, sorry Larian, but I still don't vibe with the masc elf faces.)
Selakiir's old tattoo (which can barely be seen in the first screenshot, it was a dragon holding a sword) didn't make it into the full release, but the new tattoo I used for him vibes way better as his pact mark anyway (while Hexblades are not in full release, lore-wise Selakiir is a Hexblade warlock). Scars and tattoos were added in the full release as well, and while Selakiir does not have his scar until later on, it's nice to portray it (even if it was originally on the other side of his face) and it's nice to portray him with the silver earrings he's littered his ears with. Finally, the ponytail is a new addition in full release, and a new addition for Selakiir. His old hairstyle is still good, but I couldn't resist the allure of the ponytail.

Have you ever thought you had a great idea and you write it down and then it doesn't work so you're all sad but then you come up with what you think is a better idea so you write that one down instead but instead of fixing it you make things worse and then you're just sitting there in your puddle of disappointment and writer failure? Because I have. 🥲🤣

missed the mark by (looks at calendar) uhhh. hm. but I really wanted to do something for the 5th anniversary! happy five years to these idiots 🎉
#art#twisted wonderland#twst 5th anniversary#i'll stop for a while now i promise i just wanted to get this out#genuinely feels a bit weird to be 5 years in already huh!#that combined with having finally finished up episode 7...#oh no all the milestones hit at once help#hold on while i reminisce for a moment#because MAN i did not expect the anime disney boy game to become so special to me#(especially my little wet rat dragon and his family)#to be fair 2020 onward was uhhh let's say prime timing for a piece of silly and unapologetically indulgent media#(not to get too real here or anything but let's just say that. some of the stuff in 7 specifically did hit a bit harder than it should've.)#but also just. you know how it goes.#sometimes a thing doesn't so much speak to you as it reaches out and grabs you by the throat#with an intensity that shocks and bewilders no one more than you#and sure you can ignore it because having any emotions about media beyond faint scorn is of course the epitome of ~cringe~#but you could also just throw yourself wholeheartedly into it#and lemme tell you one of those options is a hell of a lot more fun#idk i'm just kinda rambling here#it's been a weird five years but i'm glad to have had these guys for it#and hey if nothing else it gave us meleanor#the inside of my brain at any given point is just the 'do it for her' meme covered in pictures of our late great dragon princess#i would not have it any other way
