House of Gentians Arc 2 || Pages 163-168 END

Wei Ying: Sorry, I can't let Lan Wangji hold me by the waist like that again ;___;

Me: Goddammit, alright, have it your way, but I'm going to draw the most intense panels of you putting your hands on his shoulders. Is Lan Wangji flinching cause it's Wei Ying who's touching him so fiercely? Is it the fact that his scars that are barely healed yet hurt from that grip? You decide!

PREVIOUS PART

ABOUT+TABLE OF CONTENTS

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always be sure to click on my profile and check for updates because if you see a random part reblogged IT MIGHT NOT BE THE EDITED VERSION WITH THE WORKING LINK TO THE NEXT PART ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Arc 2 has come to its end! Yes, I can't believe it too. It's been 11 months since I posted the arc's cover image. I've been through so much since then, so much of my life has changed and yet working on this project, providing 4 pages every week, was somewhat of a blessed constant and fairly, I'm going to miss it.

I have to say that I'm very grateful to you, the readers, because your excitement with this story and the wonderful comments and questions and interest and insights you left on each part is what kept me going and also helped me understand my story better, so THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! A HUGE THANK YOU TOO FOR MY PАТRОNS!!!! I wouldn't have been able to do NONE of it if it weren't for your amazing support. You have no idea how grateful I am that you are giving me the opportunity not only to create this story for you and for others, but to also develop myself further as an artist (this is the first time I do a long comic of such a scale and by thinking about you when I make updates every week, I think how much better I can make my work). Your support is also a huge help with my daughter, not only because you help me provide for her, but also because in spite of the fact that taking care of her gets more and more difficult, you being there keeps me motivated to not give up on drawing and succumb to 100% life of a mother and a housewife. You save me <3.

So what now? Now I will work on extras for members of the peke-king tier on my Pатrеоn. I will create extra comic pages, a few more arts, and a funny comic strip. When all of that is done, I will create the PDF and upload it to the shared drive (I think this arc+extras is going to be about 200 pages!!) after that, I will take a break from HoG to finish other MDZS projects I halted, and after those are done I will take a break entirely to reread MDZS and consume all its media again, so I will remember forgotten parts and get that spark ready for Arc 3! So absolutely stay tuned! Thank you all again for being with me in this journey, and hope you enjoyed the story! <3

ur like the only person who depicts mlm astarion as a top and i am so grateful for ur existence 😭 i just can't see him preferring to bottom after being used like a fleshlight / having no bodily autonomy for 200 yrs that's just my take (controversial ik) obviously he can switch but id say there's generally a preference for either position at the end of the day 🤷 regardless ur art is amazing thnk u for existing and feeding the poor

I know you're just being a little facetious with your word choice here, but I do wanna take this opportunity to clarify that that's NOT the reason why I depict him as a top. I'm sure he's had sex in all the standard (and some not so standard) ways while acting under Cazador's command, and If you were to ask me, the joy and autonomy has been sucked out of all the acts and roles pretty equally.

Rather, after spending time with the character, that's just the vibe I got from him 🤷 Probably his go-to before ever being turned, and probably thinks it's very hot to fuck a guy thrice his size and bulging with muscle - there's a little blink-and-you'll-miss-it bit in ANE where Astarion asks DU drow if he can be the pitcher, and I consider that to be an important little character moment for him. He reminds me very strongly of a very particular subsection of flamboyant, twinkish homo; if you know, you know LOL

DU drow too. His reasons for bottoming actually have slightly more explicitly to do with control (or lacking it) but he does enjoy entrusting his partners with his body. You see that too with his relationship with Orin.

Not saying I'm right and you're wrong or that that's even 100% your implication here, just taking the opportunity to share my thoughts on the character and why I depict him how I do! I enjoy getting headcanons that are a little different from mine because they get me thinking about my own thought process a little more in depth.

Thank you so much for the message and your kind words! I'm happy to be providing the goods all the same LOL

Okay, so. I know I've asked for a little help here and there lately, but haven't gotten any, but now I seriously need help.

For a year now, my laptop battery has not worked unless plugged in, and now being in class it makes it very difficult. I couldn't use it to take notes today and I can't get a copy of the lecture notes post-class, so I'm fucked.

With school and everything with my mom, I've missed a lot of work and I'm broke. I need to replace the battery in my laptop yesterday. I can't keep having it die on me, and I can't handwrite notes fast enough to keep up.

If anyone can donate to this, I would be so grateful. I don't know when I'll be able to fix it otherwise.

I expect it to cost around $200 to replace. If you can help at all or reblog this, that would be amazing.

Seriously, any amount will help.

$0/$200

LIKE WATER is the FIRST FULL ALBUM by soloist FINN LEE. It was released on AUGUST 19TH, 2024, by MyDol Entertainment. The album features nine tracks, including the lead singles "Mmmh" and "The Rizz, " which Finn would promote for six weeks. Mmmh would win twelve music show awards, while The Rizz would win seven. Mmmh would secure a Perfect All Kill just four hours after the album's release, making him the fastest MyDol soloist to achieve this.

Composing the album himself, Finn is the only credited producer and songwriter on the album, making this a first in DeepDive history. Typically, DeepDive members or Mydol artists will make appearances on each other's albums, but Finn had no one but himself listed in the credits of his songs besides J.SUNG, CLEE, and Dowon being listed as composers.

The only actual collaboration on the album is with Jellib member Minyoung on the song Dinner, which Finn also wrote and produced. When listing out his favorite songs on the album, he ranked Dinner third, right under Mmmh and The Rizz.

FIND MINYOUNG AT @ratedstar !

Finn talked in depth about the process of choosing his title tracks being a hard and strenuous one. He loved all the songs so much that he spent three days convincing Jinhwa to let him perform all the tracks on music shows at least once.

TRACK OO1. BAD BOY

TRACK OO2. Mmmh

TRACK OO3. Nothing On Me

TRACK OO4. Really Big–

TRACK OO5. The Rizz

TRACK OO6. Be Honest

TRACK OO7. Dinner Ft. Minyoung

TRACK OO8. Reason

TRACK OO9. Vanilla

"Working on this album was such a dream. Every time, I would make a song for it. I'd be in disbelief because, wow, this is my album. It felt amazing to make music for just myself. I'm so grateful." Finn explained during his debut showcase that the smile could not be wiped from his face for the entire show. He would also reveal that there were originally twelve tracks, but three were cut from the final version.

That didn't stop him from performing them, though! NO REGRETS, 200, and SMOKE were the three aforementioned unreleased tracks that Finn would perform at his showcase, leaving fans begging for official releases, even trending "RELEASE THE SONGS" and "WHERE'S SMOKE?" on Twitter.

"They'll come out one day. I'll make sure they're on the second album," Finn would say on a live stream, laughing obnoxiously before logging into his Roblox account to play Dress to Impress with fans, a favorite pastime of his.

IS THAT YOUR SONG? The Rizz sparked major in fighting with Sirens as the song initially belonged to Noah, slated to be on his now scrapped debut mini album. When the song was on Noah's album, he was credited as a writer and producer, but when the song was on Finn's album, Noah was nowhere to be seen. Noah fans, professionally known as nuchis, would absolutely riot at this and demand a statement from Finn, Noah, Mydol, or all three. The company stayed silent and so did Finn until a fan brought it up during a virtual fan sign, holding up a sign with the question, "Will you please address The Rizz controversy?" to which Finn simply shook his head and said "No, I can't. Sorry." and would urge the fan to change the subject, looking disinterested.

TROUBLED WATERS? The Rizz controversy would cause Sirens to look harder at the pictures posted by DeepDive regarding Finn's solo debut. Every member except Noah made a lengthy Instagram post to congratulate Finn on his solo debut and attend his debut showcase, and even their former member, Han, showed up to the showcase to show support for Finn. Noah never attended a single music show for Finn or even liked a photo of him during the Like Water promotions. Speculations began to swirl around that the two had beef, which proved more and more likely the longer promotions continued. Guppies, Finn's fanbase, would chalk this behavior up to Noah being bitter that Finn's solo debut actually came to fruition while he was shelved before release. Noah would have to temporarily disable comments on his social media posts due to the amount of hate he was getting from guppies despite never saying anything about the situation.

SHOULDN'T SHE BE IN PRISON? This scandal began after a new DeepDive stan posted a video of Lee Hyerim, longtime manager of DeepDive, fixing Finn's hair while at a fansign before patting his head like a dog, causing Finn to smile cutely. While the clip is cute on the surface, nunchis, seemingly on a mission to make this entire era about an entirely different member, would step in with receipts of Hyerim being creepy and predatory towards the boys all the way back to their debut in 2016. This thread would blow up, sparking mass discussions amongst K-pop fans about grooming, abuse of power, and Mydols negligence on the matter. So, of course, Twitter was a cesspool, and so was TikTok. Mydol, for once, released a statement on the matter, stating: "The allegations made against a Mydol staff member are baseless and will be met with legal ramifications if continued to be spread." Resulting in the thread, which reached a peak of 22k retweets and 67k likes, being deleted but not forgotten.

Year in fic review 2023

Total number of completed stories: 4, I finished Spare Parts in 2022, just finished posting in 2023.

Total word count: About 50 k (published, god knows how many words of unfinished WIPS and abandoned one-shots)

Fandoms written in: BBC Sherlock, I'm a one-trick pony these days ;-)

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expected?

Hm, I suppose less? And not the things I expected. I started writing a lot of long, plotty fics but apparently, it wasn't the year for long and plotty fics. I suppose I didn't have the brain space for long and plotty.

What’s your own favorite story of the year?

Probably Nothing Gold Can Stay, because I had this idea months and months ago, of John having a bit of a crisis before his wedding. I had this one piece of a core of a fic, the whole nucleus where John tells Sherlock nobody ever sticks with him, ever. And then I had three different fragments of fics trying to make it work, and every one had something amazing in it, but I just couldn't make it gel. And then I thought of the famous The thing you wanted to say, say it now, and the scene on the bench in TSOT, and bam, I had a fic. It came out in stops and starts of 200-word chunks, while John laboured with whether and how and when to trust enough, to have faith enough to actually say how he feels. I'm really proud of how it came out in the end, and I'm very happy you guys responded to it the way you did.

Did you take any writing risks this year?

I don't know about risks, but I wrote 31 ficlets in pretty much a month, which came out to 26000 words, and that was no mean feat. And I actually still like most of them. Gave me a bit of writers' burn-out, I won't lie, but what a ride!

Do you have any fanfic goals for the new year?

I want to finish my Christmas fic. I would like to re-visit the Nothing Gold boys because I think there's meat on these bones and I always wanted to do a series of shorter fics that hang together. So maybe I can do something with that. But last year was so stressful at work and I don't see this year going any better (we have three big conferences this summer, so it's probably going to be So Much Worse). So, I'll be grateful for what I can accomplish, and accept that it might not be everything I want.

Most popular story of the year?

Nothing Gold Can Stay for sure.

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion:

Hm, I got a lot of lovely feedback this year, so I generally feel loved and appreciated by fandom. My May ficlets especially got a lot of responses here on tumblr, and I loved that dynamic interchange between writing and reading and commeting, especially with the others who did the challenge.

If I had to pick one underappreciated story, my Spare Parts 'verse January 29th fic The Stars Walk Backward didn't get a lot of eyeballs, but it's understandable given that it's a one-shot in a 'verse that not that many people are famliar with in the first place. It's a bit of a stepchild of a 'verse, but I love it, and I love this story for its unabashed sentimentality. It's very sweet and very calm and has a lot of 'we're back together and I don't want to fuck this up again' energy. I love re-visiting this fic if I need a quick pick-me-up, so. You know.

Most fun story to write:

Most of the ficlets were fun to write, and Tipping Point was somehow the opposite of Nothing Gold Can Stay in that it came out in a big rush over four days, like a writing tsunami. But my Christmas fic is also super fun to write, I just hope I can sustain the fun and actually finish it.

Most unintentionally telling story:

Probably Nothing Gold Can Stay, I suppose. Grief is really complicated, and it's difficult to come to terms with the fact that you can sort of stumble into pockets of it, and that you sometimes grieve things that are technically still there but have changed a lot. Essentially, the story is about a John who has to stop running away from his grief and turn around and face it, and a Sherlock who sees that if he wants to truly get John back, he has to face it with him.

Biggest disappointment:

With myself for being unable to finish the many, many, many fics I've stared but didn't remotely finish. But also gracious to myself for letting life happen.

Biggest surprise:

Not surprise but gratitude for the love and support of this fandom. You guys are awesome. I'm so grateful whenever someone tells me that something I wrote made them Feel Something(TM). It's the greatest compliment a writer can receive, and I feel truly blessed that I heard this a fair bit this year. I write because it makes me happy, and if people reading my fics experience something similar, then that makes me even happier. So thank you, fandom.

Hello! I reached an AO3 goal, so prepare for a rambling personal post.

I broke 2.5 million words!

First of all, thank you to everyone who reads and supports my work. Without you, I could never have made it this far.

And more than anything, I want to thank Bill and Conan. Those tall, blue-eyed, assless dorks get me through the days and I am endlessly grateful for their infinite inspiration.

After 366 stories, ~200 of which are requests, I have slightly more confidence in my writing. But it's still hard. Combatting all the voices that tell me I'm not good enough and should just give up is a constant struggle. But because of my friends and my amazing partner @martymcdie88mph, I keep going. I know my fics aren't everyone's cup of tea, but writing about Bill and Conan makes my life worth living. And I'm blessed to have a handful of wonderful people who boost me with their encouragement and praise. Thank you all🧡

So, here's to the next half million. Who knows how long it will take, but I plan to have fun along the way!

Until then, remember:

[03jyh23]

│hi everyone, this is another personal entry of mine, so you don't really have to read it. i'm just sharing how grateful i am to have you guys. i recently hit 200 followers! in real life, i could never face so many of you. when i started this blog only a couple of months ago, i never thought people would actually interact with what i post.

in real life, i often feel lonely. most of the time, i don't have somebody to talk to, to rant to, or to meet up with. so when i post my fics and see someone commenting or interacting with them, i kind of feel like there's somebody out there in the world who somehow thought about me for the duration of their reading time. it lifts me up.

i spend a lot of time at home now that the academic year is over, just procrastinating tbh. my boss cut a good number of my shifts, so honestly, the only thing i do is wake up, lay in bed, and proceed to write.

writing has become a big part of my daily routine (big enough to make my stepdad ask question as to why i am writing assignments during summer holidays on a daily basis, lol), and having you all as my audience makes it even more fulfilling. it's amazing to see your comments and interactions; they truly brighten my day and motivate me to keep going.

thank you for the opportunity to have my own tiny audience, and thank you for supporting my small blog.

i have two followers who are especially close to my heart. they've been with me since my early days, and i bet they know i'm talking about them. i just wanted to thank you both for reblogging and interacting with the fics you like. (one of you is the reason behind the "finding our way back" series, so!!! huge thank you)

your support means the world to me, and i’m incredibly grateful. thank you for being here and for making my writing experience so special.

take care and happy reading!

[e-dubbc11]

Thank you for sending this prompt in, it’s super toot and I really hope you like it!

Stay Still

Pairing: Matt Murdock x Reader

Word Count: 1.3k-ish

Warnings: None really. All fluff, the bunnies and unicorns are extra fluffy. Matt acting a little nervous but that’s it

He promised he would come see you tonight. Even though he promised, you weren’t positive he would be able to keep that promise. Matt had a job to do, lawyer by day but also masked vigilante by night and you tried to be understanding.

When you found out about Matt’s little “side job,” you took it better than other people in his life did. After that the bruises and cuts made sense, he could trust you and even trust you enough to help patch him up if he needed it.

He was eavesdropping, but he couldn’t help himself. The accident that happened so many years ago left Matt with enhanced senses so even though he couldn’t see you, he could hear you on the phone with your father but also he could hear your father’s end of the conversation as well.

He was eavesdropping outside your window, another thing you were still trying to get used to. Matt was always making sure you were safe, checking on you every night, it was very important to him.

“Well, I’d love to meet this Matt sometime soon. I promise I’ll be good.” Matt heard your father say.

“You promise? Dad, we both remember when you met one of my boyfriends in high school–you were cleaning your hunting knife when he walked inside.” You said, chuckling. It was funny now, at the time it wasn’t.

Matt sat outside your window, a devilish smirk spread across his face as he listened for a few more minutes.

“Alright, well you two will meet soon, I promise. I love him, Dad.” You choked on your words a little.

“I can tell that you do, baby girl. So yes, I promise to be good when I meet him.” He said.

“Ok, well we’ll talk soon and set something up, love you Dad.” You said.

“I love you too, sweetie–bye.” And he hung up.

You set your phone on the counter and turned towards the sink to fill your tea kettle to boil some water and Matt made his way inside through the open window. You didn’t hear him until he spoke.

“What did you tell your father about me, sweetheart?” Matt asked. He sounded a little nervous.

You still weren’t quite used to him sneaking in and out of your window at night. “Jeez Louise, Matty! You scared me!” You said clutching your chest.

Your heart jumped into your throat and he knew that.

“Oh I got you good that time, didn’t I, angel.” He said with a smirk, his dimple on perfect display when he reached for the black hood he wore over his eyes and removed it. “Your heart is beating very fast.”

“Yeah it’s probably on the floor somewhere after jumping out of my chest.” Sarcasm dripping from your voice. “Don’t step on it, I need to find it and put it back in. How long have you been out there listening?” You asked him.

He came closer to you and his gloved hands snaked around your waist to pull you into his chest, your arms resting on his broad, strong shoulders. “Long enough to hear that your father wants to meet me.”

“Why Matt Murdock, are you nervous about meeting my dad?” You asked him with a slight smile on your face.

Your head rested on Matt’s chest, you could hear his heart racing. He really was nervous so you wanted to try and make him feel more at ease so you softly pressed your lips to his.

The tension in his shoulders loosened and he kissed you back, his hand moving from your waist to your throat, the glove was a little rough against the smooth skin on your neck but you didn’t mind.

“Well…a little.” He said. “I’ve never–” He paused. “I’ve never met anyone’s parents before.”

Watching Matt, his eyes focused towards the ground then up again towards your face, he licked his lips and let out a large exhale.

“Well Murdock, I know you have some Daredevil-ing to do so why don’t you get going and we can talk about it later…I promise.” You said as you placed a tender kiss on his lips again.

Matt kissed you back and placed the hood back over his eyes. “Can I come back here after I’m done for the night? I want to sleep next to you, sweetheart.”

Suddenly, your body was warm and you could feel your cheeks and your ears turning pink. “Of course you can, Matty. Please be safe.”

After Matt left, the water boiled for your nighttime tea and you enjoyed a few chapters of your book, then it was time for you to try and get some sleep.

The first aid kit was resting on the bathroom counter in case Matt needed it when he came back but he must have had a decent night because he didn’t seem to need much from the kit, aside from the couple of band aids or butterfly closures you heard him open.

He did his best not to wake you but you were already awake and just excited he wanted to stay with you tonight.

You felt him climb into bed next to you, his rough calloused fingers tracing a line up your thigh and his hands pulling you flush to his body. His warm breath on the back of your neck as he whispered “Goodnight, angel.”

The small movements in his fingers and his toes weren’t that noticeable but enough for you to wonder what was bothering him. It couldn’t have been the sheets or the blankets, Matt’s hypersensitivity to fabrics had you out buying silk bedding to make him more comfortable as he slept next to you. So you knew that wasn’t it, then it hit you, Matt was still thinking about meeting your father.

“We’ll never get to sleep if you keep fidgeting like that.” You said to him with a slight smile.

“I’m sorry sweetheart.” He softly said into the back of your neck.

You turned to face him and gently moved your fingers through his soft brown hair. “Matty…my father is going to love you and do you wanna know how I know that?”

“How?” Matt asked.

You inched closer to his face, kissed him on the cheek and buried your face into his chest. “Because you may not have a lot in common, but there is one thing you do have in common.”

Even in the dark, you could tell Matt had a confused look on his face. “And what would that be y/n? What could your dad and I possibly have in common? I wear suits to work, your dad is a carpenter, he works with his hands, he’s a fisherman, a hunter–all things that I’m not.”

Matt sounded a little frustrated.

“You both love me.” You told him.

Matt’s body relaxed, and he let out a slight chuckle. “I do love you, sweetheart.”

“I love you too, Matty. My Dad did his best every day to make sure me and my brother were taken care of and loved when we were growing up. And even though I’m an adult, he still wants to make sure I’m taken care of.” You said.

“He’ll love you because you love me.”

He finally felt at ease, he understood what you were trying to get across to him. There was someone else on this earth that loved you as much as your father did, that could protect you when he couldn’t, and that could watch over you when he wasn’t able to.

“And I always will, angel.” Matt said.

Matt stopped fidgeting, the movement in his fingers ceased, and his legs relaxed. Your hair tickled his chest as you both fell asleep, Matt’s smile pressed against the top of your head as he silently promised to love and protect you the way you deserve to be.

𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓼𝓸 𝓶𝓾𝓬𝓱! ♡

Hello everyone! ♡

I just want to start off by saying thank you to everyone who enjoys my work, whether it be my x Reader content or my OC's ♡ I appreciate it so so much!

I honestly can't believe that I'm almost at 200 followers, especially since I still have Cathie Cafe orders left to fulfill from my 100 follower celebration (which I apologize about the wait! Please know that your orders are coming ♡)

I just want to take a moment to mention some of my dear friends and mutuals (so if you don't wish to be tagged, please let me know!)

@midnightmah07 - Mah, you were one of the very first people I met on Tumblr, and one of my first friends too. I can't thank you enough for your friendship and constant support! You're an amazingly talented artist, with OC's and OC x canon's that I just adore! Your encouragement and kind words is one of the reasons why Ruggie is the character I've written the most stories for lol ♡

@scint1llat3 / @crystallizsch - Ian, I feel you're probably one of the people I'm closest with (besides Mah) and I am so grateful to be your friend. You're so encouraging and kind, and talking with you is so much fun! I can't thank you enough for your friendship. I love your OC's, and you are such an incredibly talented artist! I tend to write more for Jamil now, and I'm sure you know why lol ♡

@skriblee-ksk - Kris, you have been a supporter of mine for such a long time, even before we ever officially spoke to each other. I noticed you would always like my work, and I appreciated it so much! I can't thank you enough for your constant support, and I'm so glad we started talking and became friends! You're a wonderful person and artist, and I hope to support you just as much as you have for me ♡

Progress Update

Hello everyone! Sorry it's taking a while for the next update to come out. I promise I'm still working on it. It's just going at a slow pace. Technically I have all the scenes finished, but I'm adding little things here and there since I feel it's too short.

But in other news, we're almost at 200 followers! I'm honestly very surprised and grateful that there's so many of you. Thank you all so much for the support!

I hoped that the update would be finished before I reached even 100 followers so the fact that there's already near double of the amount is amazing. So, I have a question. Do you guys want me to post the update now or would you rather wait until there's more content? Like I said, it's technically finished so I don't really mind putting it out.

Let me know what you guys want!

[meanbossart]

Hi! I wanted to ask if you're still writing "A Novel Experience" by any chance? I figured you must be super busy and I'm grateful for all the art you're creating but I'm also very into your writing and was wondering if more chapters are coming at all. Love everything you do, you're amazing!

Absolutely! I took a long break because I wrote 200 pages of it in a few months, so I got a little burnt out.

But I've been working on the next chapter lately while juggling the several art WIPs I've been wanting to do, I'm very much hoping to finish it by next month. Here's a sneak-peek!

[punchratt]

Indulging in my brainrot again, heres that longer bg3 character design post i was talking about! (@dragonageshitpostingelves, i didnt forget you <3) Also, Spoiler Warning, i talk a lot about the companions backstory and quests, so don't read if you haven't finished those. Or do, I don't care.

Im gonna be honest and admit right now that I am sadly NOT a professional character designer, but instead just a nerd who likes to draw. I think the bg3 designs are amazing as they are and deserve a hell of a lot more praise then their already getting. That being said, i have many opinions about these funny little tadpole people. The first of them being that Gale, Wyll, and Astarion should not look like that. I mean, they all literally have the same body model, just give or take few scars and some hair, then swap the head. Which i think is a little shocking considering that the girls have much more diverse body types. Normally its the other way around.

First, Astarion. I love him, but i should not be able to grate cheese on his abs. Dude was a slave surviving off rats and living in the shadows for over 200 years, he's a rouge with 8 strength and no work out plan other then squatting so he can hide better. The last thing he should have is a six pack. I am a firm believer in scrawny Astarion, that man is wet noodle, he is malnourished and it should show. I should be able to see that mans ribs. Play that boy like a xylophone. This twink is not twinking right now and its driving me insane!

Im not saying he cant be sexy, in fact i think its very important that he is sexy. A big chunk of his story has to do with his relationship with sex and how he views romance as a whole. The whole point of his story is that he seems like the sexy vampier stereotype, but is actually a much more in depth character with a very complicated relationship to sex and romance. He needs to look sexy for that to work. But you don't gotta have a six pack to look sexy! Whenever i see him without a shirt all i can think of is that abs just don't look right on him. Everything else i think they've gotten perfect, he really does look like the character he's supposed to be and i can only applaud Larian for getting it so right, just.. lose the abs.

Second, Gale. I feel like I've already summed up how i feel about his design in my last post, but i like talking so i'm gonna say more! Gale should be chubby!! All he likes to do is ponder his orb, talk to his cat, and study magic. I firmly believe that he also has a side passion for food. After all, what is cooking if not potion brewing but different? Gale can appreciate a good meal and it should show! After all, eating and food is integral to his character with the whole arcane hunger thing he has going on. Give me my dad bod Gale and all wrongs in this world will be righted.

But to be a little more serious about this, i think his story becomes all the more poetic and tragic if you view him as someone who loves food. Because just imagine that you have three things you love, magic, food, and your goddess girlfriend. Now imagine that one day, to impress your goddess girlfriend, you do something kinda really stupid and end up with a magic nuke in your chest. But wait, it gets worse! Because of this failed grand gesture your goddess girlfriend breaks up with and banishes you. She leaves you to deal with this whole thing by yourself, all you have now is your cat and cooking. But wait, it gets even worse!! No matter how much you eat, yu arent ful, so you're constantly starvinng now, and thats how you find out that the bomb in your chest feeds on magic! Which means that now Gale has to ether find a way to keep it fed or he's gonna kamikaze half the swords coast. Meaning he has to eat any magical artifacts he gets his hands on while also dealing with the emotional damage of everything else. Food, one of the only things he had left, is now a stressful reminder of the fucked up situation he's in.

Now I don't think that means Gale starts to hate food, or resent it in some way, I still think he's the adorable little foodie goofball dork who insisted on being the camp cook. But i do think it makes his whole relationship with food something much more bittersweet, which is very interesting and something i feel could be reflected better in his already amazing design.

Third, Wyll. Wyll, I believe, is the most likely to be buff out of these three. Though, I don't think he'd show it as much as he does. We know he likes to dance, and that he enjoys a good sword fight more then anything! He used to fence with his father and overall is a very active guy. He is probably the character that most matches his body, there aren't many things I'd change. That being said, he is still a warlock with less strength then a hamster. He wouldn't be that muscly.

My dude is the son of a Grand Duke, he's had a relatively cushy life that didnt really get all that much harder after his dad gave him the boot (dick move btw). He's struggled, defiantly! But i don't think it'd be a reach to say that Wyll might have a little fat on him. I dont really have much to say other then i think he'd benefit from taking those abs away and putting that bulk somewhere else. When I imagine Wyll I imagine a man with some arm game and a pudgy belly. Maybe some calf muscle too, but overall nothing too defined since he doesn't really use strength in combat. I mean, why does Wyll have more defined abs then Lae'zel? Of all the origin characters she should have the most defined abs of the group. Not these three clowns(affectionate).

Wyll is a softie with a heart of gold, he should get to have a soft body to go with it. Plus it'd add more contrast between what parts are devil and what aren't. Sharp rough horns, a scarred face, and striking but intimidating eyes juxtaposed against a soft but somewhat built frame, quick whit, and a generally nice attitude make for a very interesting design! One that i think would be much more compelling then the kinda default muscly hero build he has now.

Now compare those to the secrete fourth option i didnt tell you about! Halsin! I think Halsin is designed perfectly and there is nothing i would change. He uses a unique body model from the other three and his design perfectly captures who he is as a character. He's big, appropriately buff, and looks kind. I look at that man and i think "yeah, thats a guy who occasionally turns into a bear", and he does! He looks like a natural born leader who knows how to make those tough decisions, he looks as inviting as he acts, and he looks like he gives amazing hugs. Bear hugs if you will! That man is a bear in every sense of the word, and whats more druid then that?

I only really brought him up to set him as sort of a standard for the designs of this game, because almost every single design is just as perfect and well thought out as his. I could go on for several more paragraphs about other characters and why their also perfect, or what other small little changes id make to their designs (cough cough, Lae'zel abs, cough) but this thing is getting long enough as is.

So to conclude. Fuck abs, and get them off my boys! If you've actually read this whole monstrosity, thank you. It took me over half a day to write and i still feel like i haven't touched on everything. Like, i didn't get to praise their designs nearly as much as i wanted to, but oh well. Maybe I'll make another post about the girls, maybe ill ramble about what i do like about the boys designs, i don't know. Depends on if anyone wants that, or if i still got gas left in the tank after this. Finally, please excuse any spelling errors and the inconsistent capitals. Its late, i have dyslexia, and i'll probably go back and fix it later. Thanks again for reading!

[taylorswiftandx]

I was scrolling through my dash and I was hit with a sudden astonishment at your work! Astonishment and curiosity...if it's something you can say (no worries if not), how do you cycle through all of Taylor's songs to find a specific word? If I were in your place I would spend all day combing through each song. I'm so genuinely amazed that you're simply doing this out of the goodness of your heart!!

Truly the time you take to make all these posts is something wonderful. On behalf of all swifties, thank you!! 🤍🤍🤍

Thank you so much! Although I now have almost 1100 keyword posts, it's been a slow build over the last 6 years. For the posts that just look for an exact keyword, I just use the "find" keyboard command and skip through my lyric document that way. For the posts that are more like categories, I do read through my full document of all her lyrics! I try to combine a couple together if I can.

@meandmypagancrew who has been working with me on this for about the last year has started more recently to take on a lot of these category-type posts while I've been updating old posts with new lyrics, and I'm super grateful for their help! They pointed out recently that the lyric document is now over 200 pages long once TTPD/TA lyrics were added, so it's kind of like reading a novel every time we make one of these posts. Definitely a different experience than when I started in 2018, when only six albums existed!
