Milo Ventimiglia as Jack Pearson in This Is Us (2016-2022).

my favourite thing about the back half of Campaign 1 is that the crew of the Per Aspera at that point consists of: Kyana, who has a rare secret bloodline that gives her two souls and a never ending quest to fight evil, VR-LA, the actual chosen one of Mystra and someone who has made bargains with several other mystical beings, and Vhas, who’s divinely favoured by Ysgard, the chosen one of the Githzerai, and has been tasked with united the Githzerai and Githyanki under one sky. And then there’s Dani. A random orphan mechanic from the City of Brass who just happened to be in the right place at the right time to get her hands on a spelljammer. And the best part? Dani is objectively the most dangerous member of the crew.

I still can’t get over how Dr. Lada gifted Earn her dream house for their wedding, and then they danced inside—so soft and tender, my heart can’t handle it. They’re so gorgeous, and the outfits? Please, the color grading looks so expensive. I’m sooo glad I decided to watch this series. They’ve got me inspired to draw my ships 😭 and maybe even them again if I find a good fic.

Hodari looking you straight in the eyes and saying "I ain't much of a talker, but I'll try for you" and then proceeding to tell you that he wishes time would just slow down because he could spend every second of every day with you and it wouldn't be enough. Like sir. You romantic bastard. You just know Hassian is watching from the fields sobbing, surrounded by confused sernuk like:

If you're getting back into a portal kick and want something that has the same vibe while also being fresh and still Portal, I would recommend you check out the Portal 2 mod "Portal Stories: Mel". It's very good and takes place just before the events of Portal 2. You play as one of the athletes Aperture used in the early days who was testing out a cryostasis pod that no one remembered to set an alarm for.

I've played it! It was pretty good, I enjoyed the experience.

So, uh.... my boy has finally got a boyfriend, I finally got Gale's second romance scene, and... man. I have a LOT of thoughts and feelings, and woefully few words to describe them. (But I'll try to keep it vague, lol.)

I honestly love how the writers didn't shy away from writing this to be something so earnestly, unapologetically STRANGE, but so heartfelt and romantic. That Weave scene, while it sounds weird on paper, I honestly don't think I've seen a romance scene that was more representative of a character before. I already felt like I related to Gale quite a bit, but now, I feel like I see him on almost a whole new level. Now, he showed just how deeply INTENSE a man he is.

Yeah, there is a bit of showboating in him (though I've always kinda seen that as less of a "look how awesome I am" and more a "look how useful I can be, please like me"), and overall he presented a pretty restrained image- but now, with that recolored by this, I feel like it all goes to show how he really just YEARNS for someone to know him. It most shows in how after telling him that you love him too, he immediately throws all his doors open, invites you in, whisks you away to the part of the world that feels most meaningful to him, shows you all that he feels important- the Weave included.

He wants to show you everything, to share all that he feels is himself with you, be DEEPLY, INTIMATELY KNOWN by you... and he just wants to GIVE you so much, show you so much love, so much pleasure, so much OF HIMSELF, that just one set of limbs, just one of him isn't even enough! He wants to melt into you, hold you with more limbs than a human could ever possess, become one with you and give you all that he is while taking in all that you are...!!!!

And all he wants in return is that you accept him, with a his... unusual, eager, awkward, kind, smart-mouthed, somewhat melodramatic, loving, silly, deeply DEVOTED self, and his love that feels so vast, he wouldn't be able to fully express it even if there were three of him. This man is so full of love for you, he's all but bursting at the seams.

I feel... emotional. I don't think I've ever been THIS moved by a video game love scene (I can't even bring myself to call it a sex scene, these mfs didn't just have sex, they made love), like I know that feeling!!!! I've FELT that before!!!!! And I, as myself, a person, not as someone roleplaying a character, felt weirdly SEEN just now!!!!

I'm just overall very impressed.

.... Oh, and the way he drops on one knee to kiss his new, dwarfy boyfriend? Just adorable. I know all companions do that when they touch a shorter player character (I still love the way Karlach crumpled into my boy's arms in the hug scene), but it still feels kinda special.

(You just know these two assholes are going to be so deeply OBNOXIOUS about being in love. Like yes, they already were, but now that they know their feelings are mutual, they'll be like... fkin holding hands while traveling, and cuddling by the fire, and all that cutesy shit. God, I'm so endeared.)

Illyana Rasputin in X-Terminators #5

Aw, look at that! Illyana gets a cute kid sidekick to bring out her protective side and make her reflect on her own childhood trauma in a compelling way. I’m sure we can look forward to a long, well-explored relationship between Yana and Beastie that returns again and again though many books.

…Wait, Bo? Sapna? What are you two doing here?

Oh, you’re here to come pick up Beastie to take back with you to the farm up-state where you two now live, never to be heard from again? Yeah, makes sense.

The work trip is finally over! I hardly had any time or energy after work to do anything other than eat dinner and think about how tired I was. There was not enough time to clown around. 🥲

But on the bright side, there was a project competition and the team I was on WON. 🎉 Now I'm home with a cute crown and a medal (and banana pudding).

I slept most of the day and I cannot wait to catch up on posts and write!

[maladaptivedaydreamsx]

Not me just recalling that "tesoro" (treasure) is a term of endearment in Italian*, and realizing that Silvio and Emma calling each other their treasure is twice as precious now. 🥹

* please see below *

* as per what I've learned. take with a grain of salt. i'm a spanish speaker first and foremost lol,, hola, ¿que tal?

always been interested in languages and been trying to intake some italian again thanks to online friends and my totally healthy obsession with silvio. but hey, it overrode the terrible memories i had of learning it with someone who backstabbed me, so at may least there's a plus! :D
