WIP. I will surely never finish this one because backgrounds are difficult, and outside backgrounds even more. I made myself sad, so I drew my idea of Patrina and Strahd (still human) sharing a moment of peace before Barovia and its future Darklord went apeshit.
At some point, I'll polish this one too, once I figured out how to background nature correctly.
#But we had a private session with one of my player where Strahd agreed to read moments from his past to one of the PCs through the Tome ( th#Human!Strahd's Tarokka reading went :.#there will be no happy endings for you#nor happiness anymore once u leave the Vistani but you can still choose the path that will let you live in a less sad life.#I made Strahd a giorgiotto and he spent time with the Vistani on their way back to his army after the battle of Argynvost in my campaign#and living with the vistani was ... enlighting.#art#wip#my art#i don't know how to draw#I do sometimes I swear i'm waiting to post things where I was possessed to finish a background and drawings TwT#reddit would kill me#patrina velikovna#strahd von zarovich#curse of strahd#cos art

It doesn't matter that Viren had his heart in the right place ASSAULT is not okay and Lissa had all the rights to leave. Viren and Callum have parallels but they are different in a lot of ways one being that he would never do something like that to Rayla and in a similar situation they would have talked about it. The narrative and Viren himself knows what he did wasn't okay you don't need to justify abuse. You can love a character and aknowledge they aren't a good person in canon.
#yeah leaving your children may seem cruel but she was scared#and we may see her appearing in the future#and she let them choose to come with her or not like Reddit shut the fck up#tdp#the dragon prince#dont get me wrong Callum would try to save his child too#but he would never cross that line. Hurting Rayla will always be a big no#at the end of the day Soren was BOTH lissa's and Viren's kid#he could have wait until he was ok in a calmer situation to talk things over#he's a great character but not a good person you dont need to justify his bad actions#like he tried to kill his best friends kids. He's NOT a good person#give us the saga#continue the saga#viren#Callum#Lissa

it doesn't really make sense in the logic (lol) of the show but part of me loves the idea that edd is being raised by his grandparents.... kids who are raised by grandparents tend to be overly mature and a little uhhhhh off-beat. i feel like it could explain a lot.
#before you ask yes this is me projecting#i know some folks hc his parents as being a bit long in the tooth which i like too#but idk i just think it would explain so many things about edd to learn that he was in fact raised by senior citizens#and shit i still call my grandma 'mom' so to me its not weird at all that he'd call his grandparents 'mother and father'#everything else about them stays the same though#theyre still aloof and neglectful#and i still think the worst of them#anyway i love projecting my trauma onto edd specifically for some reason#he's such an easy target for angst i can't help it#oh and speaking of angst#for anyone who saw that post a while back and is interested in an update on my whole bastard landlord/roommate kicking me out situation:#i found a room and will be moving in 2 weeks 🥴 kill all landlords etc etc but hey at least i'll have my own bathroom#and won't be living with the final boss of millennials/reddit incarnate#unfortunately for you guys though that means i should be able to indulge in my tomfoolery again soon (shit posting and shit drawing)#even though it seems like our tiny fandom has gotten even smaller recently#alright i'll shut up now biiiiii#text

Posting on a subreddit after lurking for a long time and then waiting for a response feels like lining up blindfolded waiting for the execution shot. Except there’s also a 50/50 chance instead of a bullet you’ll get a confetti popper
#sparklepants#will they fucking hate me?????? who can say#I could post the most innocent normal thing ever and redditors would be like KILL YOURSELF#Reddit

can't sleep (despite new meds + melatonin, boo), so I'm thinking about random shit. like: it's insane to me that I'm totally fine living on the ground floor now. it used to really freak me out. I hated being downstairs when we lived in a house. I always felt watched when I had my room on the ground floor. and every time I visited my dad at his ground floor apartment - where I was on my own except for maybe an hour a day - I had what I now know were panic attacks several times a day. so like, that's pretty crazy.
#not once have I thought that I'm about to be murdered since we moved in#and I used to think that everywhere. it was just MUCH worse on the ground floor#idk im just insane maybe#but it's nice that the (other) meds seem to be doing a good job#it feels so crazy now when those kinds of thoughts come back at night. like HOW did I live like this for 30 years?? how did I not kill#myself (too scared lol that's literally the only reason)#anyway hi it seems like I only come here to talk about the dumb shit my brain does at this point#sorry! I mean it doesn't matter I guess bc who would even notice#idk I tried to be online less soooo now I'm back on reddit instead and it is not good for me and I know it#might be spiralling about general life stuff too which is always fun#I'm just so bad at being a productive member of society#literally we went to the city for a couple of hours yesterday and I was so fucking exhausted that I had to sleep for like 5 hours#ughh...#man I really need to fall asleep soon.#personal

#grapecase plays dai#i found an explanation on reddit that seems to talk about why one would do one or the other. but it doesnt really explain what one or the o#ther is#grapecase polls#from the words and the explanation my assumption would be conscript would be to force to work for or have them work under you [willingly. b#t theyre under your direct management]#and ally is they get to keep their bosses#based on what i'd gather i - personally - woould conscript the templars on principle [and i suppose it'd vary per pc]#and conscript the mages bc their management sucks#currently#[i mean so does the templars but it seems they'll be getting some dude not lucius? but that also brings me to the point. templar management#is occasionally sus even tho they have a FEW good bodies#i tend to generally like circle mages - and even the ones i felt went too far i can .... usually understand#except that one elf that killed his wife - and their leadership (at least in the circle) is sensible. but it seems fiona is a clown maybe?]

On the topic of languages, did I ever tell y’all about my 6th craziest roommate?
So a few years ago I was scrambling because someone backed out of my lease right before the semester started. This girl (I’ll call her “Ella”) responded to my roommate ad. She said she was 25, she was from Guatemala, and she had the same major as me. She seemed legit, so I passed her info to my other roommates. They vetted her and she signed on.
From there, things got…. Interesting.
Our rooms shared a wall, and this girl would talk on the phone for HOURS. She didn’t know this, but I was getting my minor in Spanish. I had 8 years of formal education and a lifetime of practice with the Peruvian dialect. But listening to Ella on the phone made me realize my Spanish was TERRIBLE! I couldn’t understand a WORD she was saying. I really buckled down in my classes that semester. Kept getting straight A’s, but I knew I could never be truly fluent.
Meanwhile things were getting tense between Ella and my roommate “Jess”. Ella and Jess shared a bathroom, and Ella insisted on showering 4 times a day. She also box-dyed her hair RED Every. Single. Weekend and never cleaned the tub or counters. She destroyed Jess’ non-stick pans, stole blankets from her room, and kept her up late by talking on the phone. While I was on Jess’ side, I refused to get involved. I had been in enough roommate drama for one lifetime (6 long stories), so I said nothing.
Over winter break, Ella secretly invited a boyfriend to the house while we were at home. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal (what we didn’t know etc etc), but Jess stopped by the house and found them using HER FURNITURE for a… love nest… in the living room. This mystery man was also using Jess’ toiletries. Ella didn’t even know his last name. There was a big fight, but I was hours away so it wasn’t my problem.
Spring semester rolled around. I’m looking over my class schedule, and who is listed as one of my TAs? Ella. Now that was SERIOUSLY against university policy. I mentioned it to her at home and she acknowledged that she would need to recuse herself. I waited and waited but the first day came around and there we were. In lab together as student and teacher.
And on her introductory PowerPoint, it said she was… Venezuelan? And a grad student? “Damn” I thought “I have a terrible memory.”
The ethics of her position stressed me out, but I realized if I got her fired she wouldn’t be able to pay rent. And if she could, I would be in the middle of more roommate drama. But things with Jess and Ella were worse than ever. Her shower habits tripled our utilities bill. We would never get our deposits back because of the dye. Ella broke an heirloom from Jess’ grandmother. She also shattered their toilet seat? She lied about both. Did Ella know I was a Jess sympathizer? Did she know we were pissed about the pans? What would that mean for my grades?? So I stayed silent. She was…. A terrible teacher.
At night, her tone in phone calls changed. I could tell she was NOT talking to relatives. But I still couldn’t gather any context. I kept my Spanish practice very, VERY quiet out of embarrassment. The walls were thin. I sorta wanted to ask her for fun slang, though.
One day in the kitchen I asked her what part of Venezuela she was from. Her accent was so unique! And did she use “vos” or “tu”? She told me it was a very small town, and abruptly left to make a phone call. Oh well.
End of spring was coming up. Everyone was moving out except me… and Ella? She wouldn’t give me a straight answer about her plans. My final grade was still in her hands so I didn’t press. And I was feeling pretty down about my classes. Were my Spanish lessons ever going to pay off? I studied extra hard to master pluscuamperfecto.
Lab ended. With 2 weeks remaining, she texted me: “My life plans have changed. I’m leaving. Goodbye.” She gave my group a 98% on our final project as soon as we turned it in.
I never saw her again.
Jess and I finally had time to catch up, and we swapped stories about our eclectic roommate. This is where shit hit the fan. Jess was working for the same professor as Ella, and had been privy to some pretty shocking information.
“I can’t believe a 34 year old woman would act like that” she said. HUH? I told her Ella was only 25!
But Jess saw her credentials in lab. She overheard everything she ever said. Ella was 34 years old. Maybe older. She was sugaring-no shame- BUT she was giving OUR ADDRESS to dozens of strangers online. She used different voices, different names, and different stories on every single one of them. She had an actual boyfriend who doted on her, but she had fallen in love with one of her sugar daddies. It ended when he refused to take her on his family vacation to the Caribbean. She was moving to Arkansas to start over. She took most of Jess’ cookware with her.
And that wasn’t all. A year earlier, Ella had told Jess that she was 23 years old and from HONDURAS. I don’t even remember what she told our 4th roommate (who should chime in if I forgot anything, btw). So what was the truth??? Guatemala, Venezuela, Honduras WHO WAS THIS WOMAN??? We dug and finally found Ella’s LinkedIn. There it was… she was 36 years old, had a different last name, had been a student of MANY different universities…
AND SHE WAS FROM BRAZIL.
SHE SPOKE PORTUGUESE. PORTUGUÊS. ALL THAT INSECURITY. THE SHAME. FUCKING HELL DUDE. I worked 5x as hard that semester to make up for my COMPLETE INEPTITUDE and she Wasn’t. Even. Speaking. Spanish. I am such a fucking idiot. Si hubiera sabido la verdad no habría sufrido. God damn.
So anyways, she followed me on Instagram and started posting from all over Europe. For 2 years she posted weekly. Germany, England, France and- yes- even Portugal. Good for her. The matter was closed.
…Until my final semester when I ran into Ella on campus. She had brown hair, had ditched her glasses, and ran away as soon as she saw me. I did some digging. Turns out she only went to Europe for A MONTH. She never set foot in Arkansas. She had immediately come back to school and enrolled in a new program with a new nickname. To this day she posts new European adventure photos every few weeks.
I don’t know what the fuck was going on in her life, or why she told so many elaborate lies… but I graduated with a 4.0 in Spanish. So… I guess the moral of the story is you should always have faith in your own abilities :D
(… and I would say “vet people before you live with them”, but honestly roommates 1-5 blow her out of the fucking water so. whatever.)
#zero people wanted to know about this but I just remembered it happened and it felt like a fever dream#honestly this belongs on Reddit but I don’t have that so here ya go#I literally don’t even know how to tag this#this is my life#roommates#she was definitely the least harmful of the crazy roommates#or wait no… well ok maybe???#the first story would prob do numbers. she conspired to kill me because I said ‘Me’ by Taylor Swift sounded like bubblegum pop.#long post sorry guys. but this is the posting website so idk

throwback to the time i asked on reddit "what's wrong with first person fanfiction" because i justed wanted to weigh it and then proceeded to get bombarded with people either saying "it's just a matter of opinion" (not helpful) or even "well your being entitled so stfu" (how... did we get here?)
#i fucking hate reddit#everyone there is so annoying i swear#i said to someone “shame that some people who dont like first stories are missing things like to kill a mockingbird”#and the got called stupid because since they don't like 1pov they werent missing anything#like... i wasnt talking about that? i was saying how if 1pov stories were in 3rd people would read and maybe enjoy them?#and it kinda sucks you might not want to read that? sir i never attacked your preference. this wasn't about you!#someone called me an entitiled brat so i explained that maybe i was a bit bitter but i was being genuine. they called me manipulative#they deleted their post LMAO#this post isn't for pity!! i just wanted to rant about it bc i thought of it#and i thought it was funny

first of all, the duffers absolutely didn't have the full series planned out from the start because Stranger Things was originally pitched as a limited series with 1) the potential for a direct "sequel" that would follow the younger kids as adults (basically, they pitched "It") or 2) an outright sci-fi horror anthology. second of all, even if the duffers did have everything mapped out from the start that doesn't mean that plan isn't garbage.
#strangerthoughts#sorry ST reddit is driving me INSANE. please crawl back out of the duffers' asses#these guys literally lost the plot back in S3 and course corrected so hard that everyone collectively experienced whiplash#if they had any kind of plan in mind it definitely wasn't until after S2#I would argue it wasn't until after S3 tbh#like. S1 was definitely intended to stand alone#S2 was a direct continuation that only happened because netflix saw the show as profitable#and the duffers scrambled to yeet something out in a little over a year#which is why the justice for barb plot is a thing and el's plot is so disconnected from the rest of the season#they had no idea what to do with her when she was SUPPOSED TO DIE#S3 feels like the duffers pitched an anthology season and netflix said no#like. I could have liked S3 as a standalone campy action comedy#but it being a wacky season in the midst of non-wacky seasons makes me wonder what the duffers were smoking#and if the duffers had a solid plan for vecna before S3 I'll give them my left kidney free of charge#because S4 is a messy season. they crammed things in there that did not need to be crammed in#they bloated the cast and clearly had no idea what to do with 75% of said cast#and when I talk about the episodes being too long I'm directly referring to how in the last episode the kill vecna crew are being#STRANGLED BY VINES and PINNED TO A WALL for like thirty minutes straight#at that point someone should have suggested they reevaluate what they just wrote. because what they wrote sucked#I genuinely don't think the duffers will ever be show runners again#I think they'll continue to direct. which they are pretty good at. but I don't see them ever writing anything majorly successful again

should start a discord server in which we have literary analysis about arknights blorbos and also won't be shamed for looking at a story through a queer lens that would be cool
#thinking of having to discuss characters with straight people on reddit makes me violently ill#i cant even begin to approach topics like trans themes because i'm 95% sure i would get DISCREDITED instantly#i just have a post about hypotheticals and stuff#and the first comment will be 'but x character isn't gay/ trans tho'#kills you

Finished The Decagon House Murders!
It was...okay. Like the mystery was all right (pretty sure it was an Agatha Christie ripoff tho), but I didn't really feel any connection with the characters. Van, Carr, and Leroux kept getting confused in my mind because we learn a couple small facts about them but other than that, they don't really behave distinctly (except Van at the end I guess). Poe was a doctor. Agatha and Orczy were total pretty girl/ugly girl stereotypes. Ellery was obnoxious. Literally NONE of them mentioned the girl they supposedly murdered* until near the end, except Orczy who dies first. It seems like "hey, that girl who died had the same last name as the people who owned this house, maybe this is some weird revenge since people think we were responsible" should have occurred to them earlier.
(*apparently she died after drinking too much even though she had a heart condition. which like, it seems a bit much for multiple characters to blame the people at the party with her because they egged her on. they're all dumb college kids but also they probably didn't know about her condition and if she didn't speak up for herself how can they be held accountable? anyway.)
The mainland scenes with Kawaminami were all right, and provided backstory and context, but I think some of that heavy lifting should've been done by the island crew. They basically do nothing except drink coffee and die, minus a couple walks to the ruins.
TLDR: decent mystery, but don't go into it expecting fully fleshed out characters or a particularly sensible plot. It did make me want to read And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie though. The only Christie I've experienced so far is seeing The Mousetrap last fall, but I found that much more engaging than this book.
Now, onto Sorcery of Thorns! Started that one in 2021 when I last rented it, but had to send it back half finished because I rented too many books at once and stressed out too much (alas, history repeats itself). Hoping to finish it this time, though!
#and now time to take my Five Minute Shower alas#i would kill for a bath#oh i havent mentioned it here--my city is under water restrictions because the mother of all water mains burst lmao#at least the challenge of reading so many library books fast is distracting me from reddit threads and news articles about it#thinking about reading

Oh god I just finished Book 2 and it was so bad… I went into this with an open mind just like I did with Book 1 and god did I hate this. Clem just annoyed the hell out of me for the entire book. I liked everyone BUT her, Ricca and Morro. And I don’t even hate Morro she just showed up randomly to say weird ominous shit and then went to do her walker autopsies. Idk… it just sucked so hard. I miss Amos.
I've reread it and I'm working on my review so I won't go into a whole spiel but yeah. I mean, I still think I like Book Two over Book One... until we get to chapter 7. It has the same problem as Book One where the ending is just bad.
Clementine still feels out of character when you compare her to game Clementine, but she's consistent with Book One Clementine. I get what her character's supposed to be and why she's going through these things, why she approaches things the way she does but it makes it hard to enjoy when you have context from the games. I've already seen Clementine grow up and face hardships in the apocalypse, and the games have the advantage of showing all that across four games whereas this series only gets three books, so we don't have time to waste, y'know?
But Morro was the biggest wasted opportunity, like... what a disappointment. When I read it the first time, I was giving my first reactions in chat with Pi and we were both like, "So it's gonna be revealed that Morro's actually doing science experiments on walkers, right?" but no.... she's literally just doing autopsies like c'mon, walker science experiments and abominations would've been amazing!
And Ricca... honestly, I like the idea of Ricca because let's be real, a lot of us wear glasses or contacts or have some sort of vision impairment, myself included, and a zombie apocalypse would suck! If my glasses broke and I had no means of getting a new pair and it's the zombie apocalypse, I'm dead. And Book One set up this interesting story where Ricca's brother was an abuser who purposely broke her glasses so that she had no choice but to rely on him, then when she finally found pair that worked, she left him. But now her eyesight is worsening, and that's scary, that's something I could sympathize with...... but it's almost treated like an inconvenience? Because her and Clementine's relationship is the emotional drama that takes stage and frankly, I don't like clemricca. Not just because it's not clouis. I went into it with an open mind wanting to ship it but... meh.
I don't like how Ricca's like, "I'll wait for you," and then later she gets butthurt because Clementine won't get on the same level as her fast enough. Clementine doesn't owe Ricca anything, y'know? But Ricca is like "I love you, and I know you love me too, but I need you to love me always, not start and stop. It's not fair, you want me to wait for the impossible!?" Stop trying to guilt her when she's clearly not ready for a relationship? I get the frustration but c'mon.
And then there's chapter 9 which... I'm honestly this close to losing my shit with people. I don't think I've ever been as disappointed or disgusted of the fandom than I have seeing people send threats to Tillie on her instagram over chapter 9. She posted about how Book Two released AND she gave birth to her son on Oct 4th, and you go to the comments and there are just people calling her a pedophile and writing threats-
On a post. From Tillie. About the birth of her son. What the hell is wrong with you???
And then there are people just straight up LYING about shit.
I read a comment on reddit where someone compared Clementine Book Two to 50 Shades of Grey because there's an explicit sex scene and uhm NO??? There's absolutely nothing explicit, Ricca is not like Christian Grey like?? What the fuck is wrong with you? It's like these people read the summaries on the wiki- WHICH BY THE WAY if any of you happen to see this screenshot circulating anywhere-
^this is not a real quote, this is obviously fake.
Please don't mindlessly believe people on the internet about shit, especially when they themselves haven't actually read it.
Anyway, it's like people read the wiki summaries and decided to spread false and exaggerated information about the comic because they want to paint it in the worst light possible to trick people and it's working and I'm so...UGH.
Sorry to nosedive into this but it pisses me off. There's a lot to discuss about chapter 9- shit, there's a lot of criticism to be had with Book Two, and I will go over everything in my review, but for right now I'll just say yep, Book Two isn't very good.
I miss Amos, too.
#asks#twdg clementine#clementine book two#i'm so upset with the fandom on reddit and instagram#which is stupid because they're not worth it but my brain can't comprehend it like why are all of you like this? who hurt you?#also when i would going through reddit i found someone misquoting *me* which was the wildest thing? i don't have a reddit account sksksk#but then i happen to find a comment like 'she said this' and that's not what i said?? unreal i can't#i knew book two's release would bring a shit storm but oh my god at this point i hope tillie just kills clementine off in book three#as a final fuck you#i know she won't because clem's no use to skybound dead but it would be so fucking funny#i don't think anyone but me would find it funny though i think people would rage and ruin my fun#anyway in-depth review to come but feel free to send in asks about it
