#somethings were VERY questionable

[vaguely-concerned]

lucanis is a 'I could sit in our quiet kitchen on a grey tuesday afternoon drinking coffee and talking with you about nothing much in particular forever and be the happiest man who ever lived' romantic, not a 'classic tropes and grand gestures' romantic. this is a distinction and conceptual gap I personally feel is crucial to understanding what's going on with him when romanced. for all his almost painful sincerity and clear depth of feeling he's not a very effusive guy by nature, but in the history of time no one has ever, with their whole soul, chest and being, been so genuinely and openly happy to just do laundry and taxes with you.

- I'm sorry. It's just that when people look at me, I get…nervous.

- Is that so? I have just the thing. Wait here! [...] I wrote my request down. That way you don't have to talk to me.

it's sad that they made varric so... bad at arguing in veilguard, HGDSJGS. bc he nearly won this debate already in inquisition, without even knowing the context!

give this guy 10 years to come up with a speech, and it still might not convince solas or save him from getting killed, but it should at least be less silly than just going "solas, your rebellion was very cringe fail, and it was dumb of you to have sealed the evanuris and stopped the blight the first time. stop doing things 🙄"

me: okay I need to move out in September! let me find a suitable replacement for my room- it's my responsibility since it's my choice to leave, after all. and if I don't find someone I'm stuck paying two leases in September, because the realty company pressured us into signing a lease in April or they'd show the place and NONE of us could stay. so the pressure is on

candidate: hello! I'm nice, normal, and clean. I actually clean professionally. everyone gets along great with me on the call and we all like each other. I'm even willing to move forward with just a video call before visiting the place in person, despite living in the same city, but I'm clearly not a scammer!

my housemates in the debrief: she seemed really cool and nice! we are not bringing up any issues with her!

me: great! so shall we move forward with her? since we live in a city where housing moves Fast and she said she was talking to other people as well?

my housemates:

my housemates:

my housemates: we just want to talk to other people first :) :) :) we are not going to give any other reason and we will keep talking about how much we like that candidate but Not Reach Out to Confirm that We Want Her to Move In :) :) :)

Waittt, what did you mean with your last post?? I don't want to spoil myself so I'm waiting for the nightmare before christmas event to arrive on the eng server before diving deep into the wiki. But I HAVE to know; were there hints of Lilia joining in for a rerun or a sequel ??? Your big "OR IS IT???" filled me with way too much hope !! please tell me it wasn't a bit : (

there was a little teaser at the end that implied there'll be a sequel event, though we don't really know anything beyond that! I do think it's likely we'll get the other half of the cast in it, even if it's just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞🤞 NIGHTMARE SUITS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

as far as I know there's been no confirmation on whether it's going to be next year's Halloween event or a separate thing (the snow makes me think it'll be more Christmas-themed, or otherwise more related to the plot of the original movie) so. we're probably going to have to wait quite a while before we find out anything solid. :') they really do love just dropping these things on us and then watching us go absolutely wild with speculation while they watch like

I've been loving ur mombin comics, but where is the other mom? what trans hottie is not paying her child support out here? (this is said with a lot of love and affection, im very curious abt how she got into that situation, if you have thoughts abt it <3)

ajsjhsdfh i wasn't going to answer this because it's explained in the next comic but kudos to you for being the only person to say 'who's the other mom' instead of 'WHO'S THE DAD'

also the way this is worded made me laugh for like 5 minutes thank you so much xx

I love the mad scientist au, i humbly beg for more

OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!! Now, where were we... Okay so Lan Wangji is possibly going through the many stages of both gay realisation and also dealing with pain beyond the average person's comprehension considering that he was just dragged by an already injured leg into what would have been his death. Would have. If not for this impossibly confusing, confirmed psychopath literally prying open the jaw of a huge, man-eating monster to save his life. And then carrying him to safety on his back as though he too was not injury. Now all he can do is stare emptily as Wei Wuxian walks around the cave they have taken refuge in, a fire crackling nearby and the sound of the man of the hour muttering to himself as he sizes up different pieces of wood.

Lan Wangji would ask what the hell happened back there, but he's currently trying not to think too much both because he cannot breathe from the agony. (Also because every time he closes his eyes, all he can see is Wei Wuxian looking down at him with those strangely mesmerising eyes, muscles straining and the light from a nearby fire falling over his face-) Next thing he knows, Wei Wuxian is kneeling beside him and nattering on about how his leg is "really fucked up, actually!" while reaching out to pull Lan Wangji's pant leg up. Of course, his natural reaction is to grab the man's hand because seeing each others' calves is something that only happens at least three months into courting surely!

There's a pretty similar interaction to canon with Lan Wangji actually losing his fucking mind with everything that Wei Wuxian is doing to him, times ten because he can't be gay about medically treated by a Wen!! It's Not Allowed. Then Wei Wuxian makes a joke like "but of course you're scandalised by my bare chest, I bet anyone who shows off even their wrists get cut down by the Lan, don't they?" This is of course not the first comment he's made in this fashion, and Lan Wangji is too tired to care about propriety as he's like "why do you keep saying things like that?" Wei Wuxian looks at him weird and goes "because the Lans are overly traditional lunatics who suppress other ideologies and kill anyone who disagree with them???"

Cue a moment of silence where they're both just staring at each other as each and every time Jin Zixuan was like 'I swear they're like brainwashed or something' only to be met with scepticism flashes in his mind. He, very calmly, is like "what about the other sects?" and sits there as this man describes twisted versions of the sects (all of them seemingly carrying an aspect of the Wen within them, intriguingly). He's drafting an apology to Jin Zixuan for not believing him. "And the Wen told you this?" "Uhh, duh? Who else would tell me the truth??" It could almost be regarded as a joke if it weren't for how sincere Wei Wuxian sounds, how sincere he looks as he stares right back at him.

Lan Wangji doesn't really want to unpack all of this right now - a secret, bitter part of him is telling him that it doesn't matter if the man (teenager, just like him) didn't know, because he still killed all those people for his experiments - but he needs to talk about the Lan Sect to someone. His home has just been burned to the ground. He's grasping for any sense of comfort he can find trapped in a cave with a Wen and a monster. He tells Wei Wuxian that his home isn't like that and ignores the boy's scoffs of "sure it isn't" as he starts (in short, succinct phrases) describing what his home is like. What his life is - was like, before the fire. He doesn't even know if Wei Wuxian is listening to him.

Meanwhile, Wei Wuxian is listening to this Lan speak of his home like it is this peaceful place built upon serenity and rules, organisation that exists only as a form of comfort for those within the sect. A romantic backstory of a monk falling in love and creating his own sect because of it. It's nothing like the picture he had had painted for him, one of a sect thick with suppression and fear, control gained through threat of death, no chance to change and grow with shackles pulling one down. The Lan is surely, surely lying to him, but he speaks with such conviction that it is hard not to believe even just a little. It's not real of course, it can't be real. What would it mean if it was?

It's nothing for Wei Wuxian to dwell on. He stands up, frowning to himself at the sight of the other boy looking so sickly and pale - the food that the disciples were given wasn't conductive for health according to Wen Qing, and it shows. Lan Wangji doesn't ask where he's going, opening one of his eyes to watch him leave after closing them at some point in the silence of the cave. Wei Wuxian needs to go - he needs to think, and find some logic in Lan Wangji's words (after all, there is truth in every good lie). Or, better yet, he needs to plan for Xue Yang (and perhaps the other Wen) eventually coming back for him. It would do no good to have him come face to face with a monster in his attempts to save him, and Wei Wuxian needs to take his mind off things.

The only logical thing to do is to kill the monster!

Last night I dreamt we got dropped 2 surprise trailers and a clip for the next Super Mario Bros movie.

The premise was that Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach got teleported 200 years into the future by a mysterious energy field while fighting Bowser (it had been implied he'd escaped his captivity at some point.) They found themselves in a chaotic world of destruction and decay, and came to discover every section of the world was being guarded by an adult, Bowser-sized Koopaling, who was still under the command of an elderly, now all-powerful Bowser who resided in The Darklands.

There were complaints that... while the film did look good... it felt like they skipped over an entire extra movie in the middle to flesh out Mario as a hero, establish how Bowser escaped, and properly introduce The Koopalings as we know them.

To offset this, Nintendo released a full-color manga to fill the gap between the two movies, but apparently it was really hard to get ahold of. I could barely find anything of it except one or two images online, and an incomplete version of the manga via an extremely lucky thrift store find.

Hi, Three Signals! What’s your favorite song? (If you have one)

TS: [ I HAVE HUNDREDS OF SONGS AND COMPOSITIONS IN MY MEMORY BANK, ALL INCREDIBLY PRECIOUS. HOWEVER, IF I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE, IT'D BE THIS ONE. ]

TS: [ COMPOSED BY MY CITIZENS, LONG TIME AGO. BALLADING THEIR LIFE, ACCEPTANCE OF THE ENDLESS, OF THE CARNAL AND OF THE SIMPLE. ]

TS: [ ...IT WAS NOT WELL RECEIVED OUTSIDE OF MY CITY, DUE TO IMPLIED CRITICISM OF THEIR RELIGION, CALLING IT A WASTE OF TIME AND IMPRISONMENT. AS WELL AS SUSPECTED MESSAGE URGING TO ABANDON PRAYER, TO ABANDON STRIVING FOR ACSENSION ALTOGETHER, IMPLYING IT TO BE POINTLESS. ]

TS: [ THEY PICKED THIS SONG APART... TO BE HONEST, I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF I SEE THEIR ARGUMENTS. SONGS ARE SUBJECTIVE, AND THEY WERE EAGER TO SEE THE WORST IN US... ]

TS: [ ... I THINK IT'S SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL. WHEN I PLAY IT LOUD ENOUGH, THE HEARTBEAT ALMOST FEELS LIKE MY OWN... ]
