Right at the very beginning of 2x01, when Ava gets to the bar late for her shift and Hans tells her she’s late? And her reply is “my roommate forgot to set the alarm” and Hans’ reply is that super sarcastic “yeah, okay”
The somewhat hidden layer here is Ava incorrectly uses the masculine form of “my roommate” - mein mitbewohner instead of meine mitbewohnerin
So maybe Ava just has bad beginner German (highly possible) but also maybe her German is decent and she’s trying to hold up some ridiculous cover story about her and Beatrice not living together. Except Hans has 0% fallen for any of this and clearly knows who actually runs Ava’s life schedule and now it’s turned into an inside joke because Bea still doesn’t want to break the cover story
#so as it turns out I've been learning german for the better part of 2022 and it just lucked out to make this scene even a tiny bit funnier#and his reaction when he sends ava up to talk to 'the boss' and then also comes in like that when they're up there alone?#adkfjhskdfjhsd he is absolutely sure there's something going on between them and ava knows and isn't changing her behavior at ALL#also I wonder if she could have picked up a basic level of quite a few languages just watching tv shows#and btw Hans is basically IMMEDIATELY vindicated because it’s what?#the next day that Ava talks Beatrice (while she is at the Height of Uptight) into staying at their workplace to get drunk for the first time#and they literally spend an entire evening wrapped up in doing shots and dancing together and being super touchy#warrior nun#they're fucking idiots in love#avatrice

Best bastard in all of avantris?
Oh my god, this is such a tough question!!
Since I've essentially barely touched (or not at all yet) the other campaigns, I'm basing this entirely off of Once Upon A Witchlight. I like all of the characters for many different reasons, but one thing I love about all of them, is how quick witted they are. Like more than 5 minutes without someone at the table laughing? Unheard of. These people know how to make each other laugh and I love them for that, and in turn it makes for such enjoyable characters, like I can't think of any one thing about any of these characters that I actively dislike at the moment.
That said, I'm pretty torn between my favourite being Gideon or Torbek 😅 Gideon because the hijinks he winds up in (often to only partial fault of his own), plus I'm a sucker for big bearded characters with a sick ass fighting style, and of course Mace's charm that shows through Gideon (that LAUGH). Also those chains??? Honestly didn't even know about them for a few episodes, cause they weren't really referenced until his performance at the big top and I hadn't really thought about them when I saw the official character art, but I'm absolutely OBSESSED with his backstory and how he uses them to fight now.
and then Torbek cause he's such a sad, traumatized little guy that I want to wrap in a blanket, every time they start to talk about what he went through and he just wants to shut down and not think about it? Protect this guy at all costs. Plus Andy is a smart guy playing a dumb character and it makes for some absolutely hilarious instances, and I absolutely adore his character voice, his manner of speaking and inflection is so great.
#tk speaks#thanks for the ask~!#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight#I feel like I could ramble for hours if given the permission lmao#and I'm only like?? idk a bit more than half way through#i'm somewhere in the 30's i think#but fuck i love me some characters with a traumatic backstory who have come through it stronger and kinder#like gideon fighting with the chains that once held him in slavery???#Torbek made to be quite a formidable fighter in a way but he doesn't want to hurt anyone??#*wraps them both in blankets and gives them a kiss on the head*#I'm avoiding story spoilers for now but i'm so excited to delve into the fan art when I'm caught up#and I'm so pleased I remembered I have a way to download episodes so I can watch while working#i have some absolutely stupid long work days of 12-16 hours and if everything is going fine then majority of that time i'm alone#so that's how i've been absolutely ripping through episodes#currently procrastinating going to bed because that means i have to get up and go to work again sooner lol#OK I'll stop now; but thank you for the ask!!!

I think we should bring back basic etiquette lessons such as shutting the fuck up when you’re watching a movie in a group that is not exclusively your friend group 🙂
#welcome to another Mick Airs Out Their Grievances and by god is it a VERY long one#prob best if u don't expand the tags#am I being maybe a bit meaner about this than I would be for any other movie? maybe but pac rim is one of my favorite movies of all time#so I think I get a pass on this one.#one of the groups on campus is hosting movie nights & I went to this one bc I've only ever watched pac rim on my laptop and wanted to watch#it on a larger screen. yay yippee I love this movie!#there r maybe 10-ish of us in this room and a three person friend group is sitting on the couch one of whom has seen the movie and two who#have not. okay so far so normal.#and then the movie starts and they won't! stop! fucking! commentating! the whole fucking movie!!! I don't have a problem with doing that#when I'm in just my friend group because I know that I can tell my friend to stop talking or pause the movie or whatnot but not when I'm in#a large group w people I'm not good friends with ffs#and the comments aren't even funny or anything they're all oh this is JUST like in iron widow!! oh they're SO gay and autistic!!! and#they're talking so loud about this that it completely drowns out the movie audio which has already been turned up a few times#like. be considerate!! some of us want to yknow actually listen to what's going on and not whatever bullshit you're saying#I nearly walked out three or four times before I actually wound up doing so#I may have been a bit of a bitch at the end but I don't care. I got up to leave because this was not an enjoyable environment and one of#them offered to turn the movie down if it was too loud. this caught me a bit off guard since I expected them to still be so wrapped up in#their convo and. well. I may have said 'it's not the movie that's too loud' before closing the door#this also reminds me a lot about my issues with online shipping culture and it bleeding through into how we interact with media irl#this is probably heavily influenced by my aromanticism but I'm so sick of people constantly reading romantic relationships into everything#AND placing more importance on those relationships than any other form. I don't mind romance in media. I think if done right it has great#emotional impact on a story but when a movie is running and when other people who may not want to hear it are in the room watching it too#is not the time to be loudly saying 'he's autistic!' 'they're in love!' 'she has a crush on him!'#I have my own interpretations of the movie some of which agree with what they said and some of which don't but that's beside the point of#knowing how to coexist politely in public#anyway. I think they were awful and annoying and they ruined my night out.#I think I'm just so incredibly mad about this because I love the movie and I was looking forward to watching it in a group of people who#found it cool as well while still having some modicum of politeness#I almost wish I had been meaner but that's the extreme annoyance talking I think#hater hour over love u guys bye

#book talk#books#reading#monthly reading wrap up#2024 reads#guardian reads (sometimes)#look I made a thing!#(with free canva templates if anyone was wondering)#posting a few days early because I know there's no way I'm finishing another book between now and feb#book recs#booklr#I've been burnt out creatively the last few weeks but somehow found motivation to make this. idek#listen i almost crowned white trash zombie unchained my favorite fiction#it was just a fun ol' romp ok#but it's also number 6 in a series...#remember love by cleo wade was a close 2nd for nonfiction#I highlighted and tabbed quite a bit of that book so I might post some highlights just for posterity

While it was.. not great to have to leave home before 6 this morning in order to get one of the few trains that are going despite the strike (plus the usual bauarbeiten), the upside is that I have some time to work on my end of year fic list while sitting at a nice cafe with a coffee and a pistachio croissant 😌
#another upside: i did not fall with my bike on the way to the station#despite part of the path being a slab of ice#tbh i was hesitant about making a list this year#because of well...#because what does it really matter? who cares?#ehm yeah i've been feeling like in general i'm not adding anything to the fandom#no fun thoughts or insightful character studies#not much writing either#but then this is my blog#i know i don't have to *add* anything--it's okay to be here just to enjoy myself#and i do enjoy going through fic again and rereading bits and pieces#it's a lovely way to wrap up the year#so! there will be a list!

hello all, happy wednesday ! 😌✨️
the writing has been good during the break, and i am knee deep in plenty of things right now that i plan to return with !! knee deep enough that i'm willing to share a bit more about them. i originally wasn't going to mention them until i fully returned, but i like where i am with many of them !! and therefore — almost want a bit of guidance on what to wrap up first !!
would you mind if i made a lil poll, with what i have ?? 🤔 and i can go in order on where everything ranks ??
still no determined date on when i will come back but !! i want to be here before summer !! 🤗🪻
#i guess !!!#i have lots of options !!#i've been enjoying a guilt-free writing spree LOL#but now i have plenty of things that i could genuinely get lost in in order to wrap them up !! and i just want to know where to begin 🤗#they'll have a teeny bit of information so we're not so lost on what is to come 🤗#hopefully this is okay !!!#not promising a return by next week or anything but — i'm feeling good about where we're headed 😌✨️#i also need to quit tacking on projects or i'll never get done LOL#✿ news

wuk lamat and erenville are the new yda and papalymo. send post.
#rambling#6.55#i played 6.55 last night finally and that's my prevailing thought#''oh the dev team really missed lyse huh''#''they really missed having a genki girl on the roster huh''#on a more personal note i have some pretty complex feelings about the whole ''end of an era start of a new one'' thing happening#with the culmination of 6.x and the lead-up to 7.0#it's the first expac i've been kinda of ambivalent about#on the one hand i'm interested to see what new places the story can go with the old arc wrapped up#but ffxiv has been such a big part of my life for so long and even though it's not an *ending*-ending it's still. y'know.#i feel a bit like samwise gamgee skfjfdg ''don't go where i can't follow mr frodo''#i hope it runs reasonably on my pc. i hope the new arc feels like a breath of fresh air and not a total redirect

ANYWHO goodnight tumblr i'll be back on the art grind tomorrow i think 🙏
#haunted ecosystem#i'll take a burst of creativity in a different form than usual than the burnout slump i've been in for a few months#<- part of why my fandom stuff has taken a smidge of a backseat#dont get me wrong i am still very excited about my fandoms im just having fun off in oc hell (affectionate)#its nice to just be able to create and not really worry about perception. and also i feel Less bad about just throwing ocs into the wringer#((blame the fact i've been REALLY interested in whump recently and i have been. fixated. on one of my characters.))#and ALSO i've been! rekindling my flame for wtds. i've been putting off thinking about it since that fic got.#nothing bad happened? but it was still very devastating that somebody who i considered a friend from that fic just. evaporated.#but i'm gonna finish that fic for him :) even if it takes a year. even if it's the one thing i finish ever. it'll be wtds.#for where its gotten me and the fact its what got me out of my shell and is the reason i trust that my writing is good!#i used to really hate rereading my work. i catch flaws that are obvious to me. but that fic. i just think about how *good* the story is#that story means. a lot to me? as a person? like the main character is not a good person. but people care about him anyway.#and there are so many little things. so many sentiments. so much that is a love letter to people who've done bad but learnt to do better#because. god knows i wasnt a good person even just a few years ago. and maybe i see myself in him a bit.#he came from a place of paranoia and fear and pain. and maybe its a good thing that i've found it difficult to write him recently.#because god. i've been HAPPY. even with the rough moments and bad days. i've been happy. i mean fuck.#my birthday's what. ten days away? god damn man. i'm going to be 18. that's an achievement.#i want to look the kid who thought it was over at half my age and tell him we fucking made it. and there are more years to come.#there's a life ahead. even if it's going to be a bitch. even if it's going to be tough. there's love in your heart and people who care and#you're going to fucking live and you're going to feel better one day. you have people to meet properly and thank and cherish.#because for every day it feel like the world's ending there are a dozen more where the sun shines just the right way through the rain#and you can't help but smile because it's just so god damn beautiful.#and fuck it. you're sick. your hands hurt and your legs don't work right. and it's tough sometimes. but you have people who understand.#you have people who honest to god love you for who you are and appreciate your company. and 18 is the first step.#you've spent half your life unlearning things and you've spent half your life relearning how to be what YOU want to be#and if you're a mediocre artist and passionate writer then you'll be fucking great at that. taking the time to learn when it strikes you.#and maybe this is for me. but its also for anybody reading it too. please god if there's one thing you take from this let it be that#somebody out there cares. *I* care. god i care. even if we've never spoken proper i care about you.#i practically have a list of everybody i see in my inbox. i love seeing familiar names show up. i.#i dont know how to neatly wrap up this tag ramble. but. i am so damn full of love it hurts sometimes. its scary to be happy but thats ok!

I kept referencing that Irminsul is also the Tree of Time and that its influence also stretches into the future, which gives sense to Dain being able to know what happens in the future as per Travail and some miscellanies, but—
rises hands It's time to stop in the hiding and be unapologetic about this because it's actually been carved into stone at long last 🥺
#this makes me so happy#because I've been keeping it a bit under wraps#and only bringing it up rarely#as it wasn't firmly stated yet#but this is happening now and there's no stopping me#this alongside the Visionary talk#make me /live/#I'll go to get some sleep now#because I woke up a few hours ago#due to the cold#so I need to rest some#before starting to revise for tomorrow's midterm

#man I don't want any discourse here but I am feeling so sad about the last couple of eps of ofmd!!!!#this is the first time I've ever felt disappointed by this story and it has honestly left me feeling a bit depressed#because I know this is the fault of networks and not creators. its capitalism harming art as usual#but idk. I care about these characters so much and every week it has been bringing me so much joy!!!#and these eps just felt off. like so much happened but none of it felt actually impactful?#I'll avoid actual spoilers here but like. big things happen. important things. and I felt very little.#man I am bummed out. and we only have one ep left to wrap it up???#losing 2 eps this season is honestly devastating.#ofmd spoilers

Has Riley ever seen a deathclaw before? If so how the hell did he survive XD
Man, I'd wager it's hard not to come across a deathclaw in some way at least once in a place like the Mojave. But pre-game? Riley's travelled a fair bit within and outside of the Mojave, so it's safe to say that he's had an encounter or two with a Deathclaw even long before his big 'adventure' started.
In fact- One of his earliest memories of his mother, Ellie (a former roaming vigilante known as "The Scarlet Rider"), involved her sneaking the both of them away from the nest of an angry mother deathclaw. It's one of the few stories about her he'll tell to anyone he's close with.
In more recent years before his headshot, he'd almost pride himself on keeping his head down and generally staying out of trouble as he moves from job to job and place to place. Scavenger, repairman, caravan gun, and finally courier. It's kept him out of trouble, but it's moved him to a fair few places. So he's had to encounter a deathclaw or two in some way, but never really confronted one head-on.
However, he doesn't have any meaningful confrontations with any deathclaws until after his encounter with Benny and the resulting journey to New Vegas. Easy to say, he does not like being near those fuckers. It's pure luck that the dude gets out in one piece.
#RILEY ASK LET'S GOOOOOOO#Note to self that I need to draw his mother Ellie at some point soon-#As well as his old travelling musician buddies.#Still a bit new to the games so sorry if anything I discuss is a bit off lmao-#(And sorry this took a while haha- I've been wrapping up stuff with college.)#Riley#Riley Haddock
