quark plays bg3 again [10/?]

I didn't discover until my fourth playthrough that you can return to Last Light after freeing Aylin, and all the people remaining there (including His Majesty) have little lines about a bright light streaking through the sky. Jaheira deferring to Tav's leadership here is a pivotal point in her relationship with adventuring, as well as trying to persuade Ketheric down & realizing that the Prism has become perhaps too important to her.

I love the rapier Wyll gets in the oubliette, and I love puzzles like this brain puzzle so much; I wish there was a way to randomize it and do it over again. This last runthrough I solved it in less than 45 seconds, and I bet I could do it faster if I wasn't limited by camera movement. I do find the minds sequence incredibly disturbing; good job on that, Larian.

The one-two-three punch of actually defeating Myrkul, realizing that her brother is truly not her brother, and discovering that the Emperor both imprisons another for his profit & also thinks nothing of eating criminals' brains marks the final moment Tav is willing to engage with him. From this moment on, she consumes no more tadpoles, and her aim recenters on freeing Orpheus as soon as possible, regardless of the cost to herself.

I love every animal in Rivington. They didn't have to go so hard with those pigeons, but they did, and knowing the lieutenant is voiced by Cazador makes it even more hilarious. Tara is intimidating AF to Tav.

Once again, Tav barely survives Chult. Thanks, Warding Bond ring! However, she gets to have a nice moment with Astarion afterwards at the love test, and even though she hasn't told him to his face that she loves him yet, I think it's an important moment in their relationship. Astarion's face during the "seeing these streets in sunlight" gets me every time, as does Lakrissa admiring Alfira.

Visiting Selune in the tabernacle and visiting Karlach's parents' graves are interesting moments for Tav personally. She spent her adolescence and young adulthood in Twin Songs in the Outer City, where there's a ton of interfaith presence, so seeing all these gods together in one place comfortingly reminds her of that. (Robbing the tabernacle blind also reminds her of that time in a different way.) Karlach's graves, however, poignantly remind Tav that she has no idea where her parents' bodies are. She suspects they were burned with the other fever victims, but doesn't know for sure, and has no idea how to find out.

Patch 7 finally restored spawn!Astarion's dialogue/break-up reaction if you sleep with Mizora. It's very sad and tragic & I had to immediately kiss him once I was done playing through the options. Seeing Petras in the flophouse is nervewracking for everyone, and while Tav backs Astarion's play, she's increasingly fearful of what he'll choose when it comes to Ascension. Oddly, she's not afraid of Cazador at this point, not the way Astarion is; she's more afraid of losing Astarion to something worse than death. She knows people can be brought back from the dead, but if he ascends, she's sure to her bones that she'll lose him in a way that can never be undone.

This fear, and her somewhat-hypocritical driving need to get the power she needs to save herself in hand immediately, she'll deal with the consequences tomorrow, are what lead her to signing the contract with Raphael. Lae'zel needs the hammer now. Orpheus needs to be freed now. Her upbringing has taught her that contractual rewards will always be broken once they have what they need from you; far better to get what you want first, and then fulfill the job. Besides, punishment only promised is punishment that can be avoided, and while she doesn't have any idea what this contractual cage of Raphael's looks like, she's pretty sure she can get herself out of it somehow. Karlach's immediate disapproval bites, as always, but the way everyone rallies around to emphatically promise they'll also help Tav break free is a breakthrough moment for her.

This playthrough, some innocent pickpocketing accidentally somehow got Gale sent to jail. (The guard locked onto him instead of Tav, there was no dialogue option besides "attack," it was a whole thing.) One Galebreak later (and Florrickbreak, since this was hilariously how Tav discovered her in there this run), I finally discovered after six playthroughs that you can get up to the very tippy top of Wyrm's Rock, multiple levels above Gortash's office. Even after 1500 hours in BG3, I'm astounded at how big this game is.

cursed construction core hi vis bra that came to me in a dream

In the dream I saw it in the window display of a hardware/DIY/trade shop, implying it was meant to be a practical garment designed for actual female constructions workers in a Female Armour level missed-the-brief attempt at gender inclusion

The practical support from the visible underwire combined with the hi vis implying it’s not meant to be worn as an undergarment, I just-

I blame my binge-reading ND Stevenson’s gender comics talking abt masculinity and femininity incl the one abt Victoria’s Secret lingerie yesterday for this monstrosity x’D

[starrjoy]

hey guys...

Earlier this week, I accidentally deleted my @starrjoy account while trying to delete an old sideblog. I unfortunately haven't heard from support on a way to recover it yet, so I guess it's time to just start over </3 If you could help me out by reblogging this post and refollowing here and @pandoraaucomic , I'd much appreciate it. I'll be slowly working on reposting everything in the upcoming weeks if i get bad news from support. While losing a following I've been building for over a year and a half is certainly sad, I've been a little more stressed financially since I am a full time artist and run most if not all of my commissions through tumblr. With my current contract ending in a few weeks, any and all monetary help would be greatly appreciated.

ily guys, sorry i'm DUMB

Sorry for not having a Year of the Dragon MDZS artwork; Unfortunately, I can only picture Dragon LWJ in this particular flavour.

it's real fucking strange that the corporations think customers affected by the strike want the writers and actors to give in for the strike to end. like no i want the strike to end because the corporations gave in. like actually i do care about movies and tv shows being delayed but i also want the actors and writers to be paid. why is this so hard for the corporations to understand

[meamiki]

I’ve followed you for a long time and your tintin stuff always looked so cool so I’ve been curious is tintin a book or a show if someone wanted to get into it where do you think they should start?

It's Tintin Day again, and an EXCELLENT question from a poor unsuspecting soul who fell right into my trap!!! >:3c

I've compiled a basic Tintin menu with some ways the character differs between depictions - not fully comprehensive but a nice selection of flavours! 🍦

Personally I'd recommend the 2011 Spielberg movie as a starting point; it's the most standalone piece of media and a real love letter to the whole franchise. Plus it's breathtakingly gorgeous, whether you enjoy the plot or not it's worth it for the visuals alone!!!

If you choose to continue - I'd pick either the comic books (the source media!) or the 1991 Ellipse/Nelvana cartoon series, which closely retells many of the same stories but shuffles the timeline around and generally sanitises things for a young audience. My late paternal grandparents rented the VHS tapes from the library whenever we visited - it's so very, very cute and has a real soft place in my heart! 💖

The 60s live-action movies are lovely; but less accessible and probably better with preexisting knowledge of the franchise. The 50s Belvision cartoon... exists. And we don't talk about 1929 Tintin, he isn't real and he can't hurt us.

I hope this is helpful, or at least fun! And it's important to remember that while the comics do contain period-typical racism, xenophobia and other outdated views; part of the joy is watching Hergé's deeply conservative stance change as 50 years of research took him around the world meeting real people and learning about their experiences. He shared his own education through Tintin and that's such an important thing!!! 🌎✨

Cucurucho: 🔎🫧

Last year's Cucurucho's fireplace stream was sweet because the holidays can be a very sad and lonely time for a lot of people, and I think the intention of this stream is to offer that same comfort.

I know this stream was a bit of a surprise for everyone, and I know many of us are probably feeling mixed emotions about it, however– Seeing a familiar face or watching characters do silly things can sometimes make a big difference for folks who are having a difficult time. I hope this stream does bring a bit of joy and comfort to folks who need it right now.

No matter what the case may be for you, I hope you're all doing alright. 💕
