Then:

My aunt: "If you fall in love try not to fall in love with a straight white boy, try that at least"

Me: "Psssh no I'm not going for the basic white boy, don't worry"

Now:

*my future partner confesses*

Me: "...."

"SHIT."

[mortemforestfanxx]

Eliza this is Aunt Barbara, I don't appreciate your tone when you address me on your tumbler blog and I will be showing your dad whatever I please!

penelope featherington would’ve slayed so hard as a character if she went for the men of the ton as an anonymous gossip sheet. LIKE full anonymity and that kind of influence as a woman..just to regurgitate what the average member of the ton is already itching to say about young girls who can’t defend themself? like all the mystery and allure of the column just to humiliate and ruin WOMEN using the established rules of the PATRIARCHY?? WHATS even the point then?! countess boochie flagrant ass character

Imagine

Rodney McKay visiting family in eastern Canada. His relatives tell everyone that “that Rodney’s visiting this year… that boy’s some smart, I tell ya. Yeeeesss m’dear he’s got some fancy doctorate degree now… no, no, not from Dal, from one of them universities out Tronno way b’y” and word spreads through the telephone game we call small town gossip until finally the gossip is virtually indistinguishable from what Aunt Maureen said to Trina at the Sobeys.

When Rodney visits, he finds that everyone is a lot nicer to him than usual. His little cousins don’t even bug him to go to the LC for them or go out on the four wheelers with them. He gets suspicious but he rides it out until finally he finds out that the entire town ended up thinking he was a medical doctor that was moving out that way for good to set up as a family doctor. The entire town was trying to skip the provincial wait list.

When they find out he’s not a medical doctor, everyone is immediately disinterested. When Rodney tries to explain that he’s a literal genius, everyone just shrugs… everyone except Nanny and Poppy who patiently wait for him to stop talking. They can’t get da jeezuz tv workin’ and Nanny gets bent right outta shape if she can’t see Coronation Street on time.

Rodney spends the rest of his trip as glorified tech support because Nanny went and told everyone at quilting how smart her Rodney is.

I've had the world's shittiest day, so I'm rewarding myself for not doing a self yeet into the Kansas river by drawing Rafayel looking extra slutty all sprawled out in the sunlight of his studio, while I drink a boba tea. Thank God for my wonderful husband and boba tea.

Self care ♡🧋

Hey! So far I've not seen anyone make the connection yet, so I thought I'd drop a little bit of lore/character development for Shadowheart that no one else seems to have found yet. Or if they did, I haven't seen anyone mention it. Mild spoilers having to do with Auntie Ethel in Act 1 of BG3.

Just before you enter Ethel's home, on the left, is a well that you can drink from. It gives you +10 hit points and the condition refreshed. Recently, before I decided to fight Ethel this playthrough, I had everyone in my party drink from it for the extra HP. This included my Tav (a Lolth cleric), Wyll, Astarion, and Shadowheart.

Now, if you didn't already know this, those +10 hit points and the refreshed condition disappear when you engage in combat with Ethel and are replaced by another condition: nauseated. Everyone in my party received this condition except one person. Guess who? Here's a pic for reference.

As you can see, everyone in my party has the little nauseated icon except for Shadowheart. Ethel was dead at this point. The conditions don't wear off until you long rest, so I decided to loot her house before doing so. While I was doing just that, I found this book titled Mistress of the Night and Friends. In it, there's an explanation for why Shadowheart was not negatively affected by the well water.

The book describes a short story of a woman who had many friends, suitors, and a beloved mother who wished her daughter only happiness. But the mother passed away, and the woman wept, so much so that all of her previous friends and suitors and acquaintances left her. She then prayed for someone, anyone to ease the loneliness she felt. And who answered? None other but Shar, of course.

Shar convinced the woman that no one else loved the woman except for her, and that all she needed was faith in Shar. Shar then gave the woman a vial, and told her to take it to a man (likely a follower of Shar, also). She did so without question. The man tampered with the vial, instructed the woman to throw it down a well, and she did just so. The book then says that many people got sick and died, except for the woman devoted to Shar, who remained perfectly healthy.

I bet you can guess what well she threw the vial down!

The implication here is that because Shadowheart is such a devout follower of Shar, Shar allows her to keep the blessing of the well where everyone else in your party gets nauseated (sick). Kind of a neat little attention to detail that I wasn't expecting that early on in the game. Anyways, shout out to Larian for the small things in this game! I thought this was super interesting and unique. Not sure about how the hag has a connection to Shar's well, but with "Friends" in the title, I assume she would maybe have at least an amicable relationship with the dark goddess.
