Alex in any DND team or anything really: I'll fuck anyone who tries to kill us!

Lilly'y: Alex...don't...you mean you'll kill any one who fucks with us?

Alex already halfway into a bedroom with one of the enemy guards who's eye we just shot out: I know what I said.

If she were the true hero of this story, she’d turn him down, push away his offer and continue to suffer on her own. But Maren was no hero. She was desperate and lonely, always in search of a place to belong. Always seeking a reason to keep going. She wasn’t too sure that Felix had the answers she was looking for, but his kindness was too enticing to turn away from. After all isn’t that all she’s ever wanted? To be cared for and loved? Even if she didn’t think she deserved an ounce of respect, she craved it like any other human. She was a dying wanderer in the desert and Felix was the oasis she'd been praying for.

“A weird pair.” She admits with a lopsided smile, reaching out to take his hand. It’s warm and sturdy, the opposite of how Maren feels on a daily basis. By all rules of nature, she shouldn’t be sharing the same air with someone like Felix, let alone touching him, and yet he wasn’t talking to her like she was a child. He wasn’t acting superior, the way most men seemed to treat her. He seemed genuinely concerned, and it made Maren weak.

“You’re free to back out at any time. No strings attached.” A weak smile pulls across her features as a halfhearted attempt to ease her own fears. She wasn’t a charity case and she didn't want to be. Which meant he wasn’t obligated to stick around. It was only a matter of time until Felix saw what Maren was haunted by, and when that time came, she only hoped he'd be long gone.

continued from x with @anthrcpophagi.

@anthrcpophagi:

She's speechless, blinking slowly as he tries to make sense of what he's saying. She'd had people fight for her before, but there was always a limit. There was always a stopping point, always an expiration date to someone's care. Maren couldn't remember the last time someone swore to do anything for her, let alone to keep her safe. And yet there was this beautiful boy willing to protect her. But did he have any idea what he was saving her from? "Don't say that." Her voice cracks when she finally speaks, averting her gaze. Felix was the closest thing to an angel she'd ever seen, while Maren was born of viscera and wickedness. Or at least, that's what she'd been made to believe. "It's not worth the risk. I don't want you to get hurt. People around me always get hurt."

felix has always been drawn to people like maren, beautiful and kind despite the haunted look in their eyes from things unspeakable. he always has the grandiose delusion of being able to protect them from the person that put it there. it'd started with his mum, taking in whatever stray she'd found on the side of the road or estranged friend in ruin to assuage her presumed terrible guilt about being a person of such means, and so unapologetically ignorant in spite of it. felix would like to think the nature of his altruism was different.

looking at maren's soft rounded features and amaretto eyes, bronze skin and small stature, felix is almost certain that it is. "can't i be the judge of that? i can protect -- i can help you," felix amends, because he has no idea what maren was running from, but at least he can discern the look of someone whose always waiting for the other shoe to drop. "people around me always hurt themselves. it'll be a change of pace and we'd make quite the pair," felix jokes, a large hand outstretched to her with an almost pleading look in his eyes, waiting to see if she'll pull herself to her feet with or without his help.

little mira doodle . i just wanted to draw her

Abo Hana is kinda a weird figure around pentagram city because she’s not an overlord (Hana: wow that seems really fucking anoying. No thanks forever) but she’s clearly got power to spare. Mostly she just kinda drifts around the city taking random odd jobs and then vanishing when she’s done (sleeping in various increasingly random place, ie in dressing rooms of clubs she owns, a few back alleys, one memorable time under a bridge).

It’s rare that she’ll take a job from an overlord but she always completes them perfectly. She’s the person you go to if you have money to burn and desperately need something done right.

(Hana has no idea where her money comes from but it’s like this: Hana takes her first job and gets paid through the nose for it. Shes like huh I have zero idea what to do with this, so she ends up going ‘hey candy would you like some money’ because candy kind of works for hana ?? She thinks??? And hana has no idea how much to pay an employee.

Candy takes this to mean ‘take this enormous wad of cash and invest it for me’ and then does that. So picture that times however many jobs hana gets offered and completes (all of them) and you get hana accidentally becoming the richest bitch in pentagram city)

How do you think Amy was affected by being the only living human to know of the elves?

-🦢 anon

We've seen a little of how it affected her--for example, she'd mentioned keeping an eye out in the news for happenings that might be Lost Cities related. I'd imagine she's also constantly wondering if what she knows (history) is the truth, and comparing her home to the cleanliness, crime-free (mostly), vibrant Lost Cities. That she's more critical and questioning as a whole

I think for her this is also very tied to being the only one to remember Sophie, which is even more impactful. Not only is she keeping elves/ogres/etc. secret from everyone, including her parents (who she has a good relationship with). She has to live with the fact her parents don't remember they had another daughter, that said daughter is in constant danger--they don't even remember their own kidnapping.

So any emotional turmoil Amy has from her parents being taken and tortured while she lived alone with strangers she has to deal with on her own--or to reach back out to the elven world, but she's not supposed to have a lot of contact.

She lives playing a role that is both her and slightly not. Responding to a different name, with different friends, and a family that will never be what it used to. Acting like it's all she's ever known.

I imagine the immersion means she loses herself in it sometimes, but other times she wonders if everything's okay with Sophie. If the elves are at war, and if it'll reach her world. What she can do if it does

She's in a position of immense powerlessness, and she knows it. She tries to overcome it, but the world is so much bigger than before now, and she can only do so much. That has to take its toll, even if its worth it to remember who she is

After an intense dentist appointment (ashamed to say I'm one of those people scared of the dentists), it's time to go home and make myself a spicy chai with matcha and rewatch Carol

[frogspawned]

pet peeve is when a story tells us something is aberrant, but it seems to matter more about who does the behavior than the behavior itself. rorschach in snyder's watchmen isn't going too far; we watch nite owl and silk spectre ii snap necks and arms with gleeful, loving abandon, in slow motion no less, while they lecture the audience about rorschach's violence. heroes frequently torture the plot contrivance out of a villain and then moralize to the camera when the villains do the same. indominus rex's killing spree doesn't shock or appall me; all the jurassic world dinosaurs act like mindless killing machines, and the camera lingers, rapturous, on their cruelty. it's not an outlier. there's nothing interesting about it beyond as a set piece.

in a better script, the indominus rex would have had pathos; a chimera made for entertainment, for profit, stitched together with no regard for itself and placed in a lonely box. a freak among freaks. of course it would be mad. but the film wasn't interested in it as an animal, or a character, only as a moving piece of scenery for people to scream at or breathe tensely while it can clearly smell and reach them but doesn't, because it isn't a character and doesn't have motivations.

it's just sort of boring, i suppose. it tries like all other empty drab things do to cover it with bombast and roaring and soaring brassy scores but it's just sort of dull. a sprawl of nothing.

conversely peele's nope is a transcendent monster movie, imo, because it thinks about the the whys and hows, how jean jacket perceives the world, how the world perceives her, and lets that shape the narrative as much as jupe or emerald or gordy. they consulted biologists and behaviorists, digging into the meat of it. the creature as a camera as an animal as a device. nope has layers. it takes its own insane premise seriously, and has something to say, and is a goddamn good movie. i forgot where i was going with this.

i spent my first time playing this game with no idea that you could remove the bloodless debuff using Lesser Restoration and so Tilly spent like fully an entire third of her run going through all of that combat and exploration and cult destroying while mildly anaemic. my friends only told me about this yesterday and we all had a good laugh at my expense but we also decided that this is probably what was happening. and honestly. in any case it is a PAINFULLY in character Tilly thing for her not to be aware of this so I'm adding it to my beloved gallery of Tilly Tosscobble 10 INT Moments. not pictured: Gale frantically adding iron-rich foods to the evening meal every night

(also shart is wrong it's not a sex thing it is a halfling thing filtered through a very Tilly lens. everyone at the table eats)

I know and love Ariadne so well but I always love to hear your thoughts:

8. What do they desire the most?

13. What is their biggest regret regarding their time as the KC?

26. Did they separate from any companions? Why? (Consider killing a companion too for this question)

Thank you!! These are for this ask game here

8. What do they desire the most?

You know, this is a very good question. Part of the reason Ariadne's in Mendev is to get away from Absalom for a while, because her ex Kjelle had threatened her and she figured if she was gone from the city her fathers would be safe. Everything involving Kjelle was a mistake in her mind, and beyond that, her father Marius was gravely injured because he was trying to help her get into the Pathfinder Society. So, if Ariadne could have anything in the world, I think the thing she'd like most is to be able to go back in time and stop those mistakes from happening, because the guilt eats at her.

It's a good thing she didn't decide to go Aeon, huh?

13 and 26 were answered here
