Hello. I would like to know about the special teifling. I hear lying comes so easily to their forked tongue.

2-4 (please I must know about the family dynamics, please), 15, 16, and 23

(๑¯﹀¯๑)

HI BESTIE and favorite person to complain about this game with <3333

Lying comes SO easily to their forked tongue. I forgot abt it until I started playing as them again and Asty got inspired three separate times in the span of a few hours. He loves it when his boygirlfriend lies

2. Does your Tav have any siblings? Are they close?

Eins has a younger half-sister! They're not super close because they became half-siblings when Eins was already an adult but they're very affectionate w their family so they'd still kill for her... she's in her angsty teen phase now but Eins is unflappable so they're still like Yay family time ^_^ I love my sister who wants to kill me sometimes <333

3. Who was your Tav raised by?

Eins' mom is a cambion and their dad is a Zariel tiefling, so I'd like to think other tieflings recognize they've got a little more devil in them than most... I do think the vestigial wings they have in-game eventually sprout to become small wings- not large enough to fly with but enough to be really cute. Now they gotta DIY their outfits to be backless. But their parents divorced when they were young so Eins was mostly raised by their mom and her new Halfling wife!!! They're so in love it warms Eins' heart but could be sickening to the cynical crowd...

4. Is your Tav close with whoever raised them?

Eins doesn't stay in touch with their dad but DOES stay in touch w their moms... until the tadpole. They were too afraid to write- What would they write? Would their parents try to come looking for them and only find a mind flayer? Would it put them in danger?- so I imagine they come home one night after months of no communications and get the biggest earful of their life...

15. Answered this so I'll answer number... 9! Eins has the criminal backstory, which for me amounts to doing odd, less than legal jobs, occasionally stealing, and making temporary allegiances whenever it suited them... it was generally in pursuit of the greater good though. They've used their skills as a fighter to intimidate patriars, worked construction for a while, worked at a clothier until the store owner realized they were just giving outfits away for free and didn't gaf about making any profit... what a rascal

16. What's your Tav's favorite childhood memory?

Probably festival time!!! IDK what festivals are like in Baldur's Gate but I love the idea of little Eins dressing up to go listen to music and dance <3 they have music in their SOUL they should have been a bard TBH but they lack any and all musical talent. Kind of unrelated but when they make you play a song to [character you haven't met yet so I won't spoil it] I imagined it going just abysmally, real charlie kelly energy, so someone else had to step in and finish the job LMAO.

23. Share any hcs/anything you want to say about your Tav's backstory

HMMMMM well pre magic mirror update I had the headcanon that Eins changed their primary sex characteristics at random depending on the day (which has now become canon, thanks Larian!). They love sweetbreads, sometimes they lie about stupid things that don't matter just to see if anyone notices, they love to sing when they travel which used to get on everyone's nerves but once they all got a little closer it became charming, even to lae'zel (one of their closest friends who loves to hate on them all the time)

Also for a more serious headcanon I imagine that shortly after meeting Sebastian in Cazador's crypts Eins runs into a friend of theirs in that same cell, who had been taken only weeks before. But suddenly it all feels too real- the hypothetical "would it have been me in that cage?" that Astarion couldn't answer, didn't even want to think about, becomes a very resounding "yes". I think Astarion even tries to defend it- like it wasn't me! one of my siblings! she's only been in there for a few weeks!- It's the only time the companions have ever seen Eins that angry, angry at Cazador, angry at the world that let this happen, angry that so many people are considered this disposable... and they do lash out at Astarion when he tries to ascend as a result. Not one of their proudest moments, the both of them. But they came out of it OK, or as OK as they can be <3

Anyways TY and TY for sharing your run of BG3 with meeeeee I love hearing about it always and forever and thank you for letting me put Halsin's sex scene on your TV just so we could laugh at the way he leans against that tree

Tough And Sweet (Like You And Me) ♡

'Gale looks unfairly handsome in the soft golden light of the late evening, but even more unfair is the fact that John can’t just bridge the gap between them and kiss his feelings away. The more time he spends around Gale, the more it feels like he’s being consumed by his overwhelming infatuation, and there’s not a single thing he can do about it that doesn’t involve the risk of scaring the man out of his life.

So he shuts the truck door behind him after promising Gale he’ll text when he’s safe inside, and he tries not to stare too forlornly as the truck putters off down the street and rounds the corner.'

Blah blah blah Buffy’s so mean to Spike blah blah. Have you considered that he deserves it? That he likes it, even?

[fischiee]

rvb au where when grif shows back up in s15 temple loses it and abandons his evil plan to become a weird half-companion where he keeps following grif around and trying to get him to run away with him

[beebox-illustrations]

Sammy and Dean having breakfast for dinner, waiting for John to return.

Somehow the thought of how little Sam must have eventually stopped asking when their dad‘s gonna return makes me really emotional 🥲

Had a busy weekend so here we are with a belated post! Have a fantastic week✨🌻

I love them. So much.

[zetalial]

Ahhh, there's so much cool stuff with Ed's character in FMA 03. One thing I do love is his ego-driven curiosity for that darker side to alchemy. It doesn't come up all that often but it's always there.

Obviously, it's there when they first try to bring their mother back using human transmutation. He's driven to do it because he can't accept she's gone but there's also that part of him who wants to do the impossible with alchemy. Like when Al says it's forbidden and no one's ever done it, Ed suggests it's just because of alchemists covering up their failures and it can be done.

Then in Episode 7, Night of the Chimera's cry, we've got Tucker who we see deciding to turn his daughter into a chimera. Before that, there's this moment of empathy with Ed who had collapsed at the sight of a dead woman who reminded him of his mother. Tucker deduces that Ed performed forbidden alchemy and his brother is a suit of armour and he's non judgemental. Sure it was human transmutation with horrifying results but when you have that power, it's difficult not to try, right? Ed's silent in this scene.

Then after he's turned Nina into a chimera and Ed confronts him, Ed's of course disgusted and horrified at what he's done especially as Tucker admits he did it deep down just to see if it could be done. And suggests that Ed too, has toyed with people's lives with alchemy. Is turning Nina into that thing not like what Ed did, turning his brother into a hollow suit of armour with alchemy? Ed starts viciously punching him down, having lost all reason as he punches him as if to reject the words that really have gotten under his skin. He can't be anything like Tucker - no part of him can be similar to this monstrous figure - right?

But we meet Tucker again in lab 5. Tucker's conducting more experiments, creating more chimeras now out of the eyes of the public. Truly its despicable that there's a secret part of the military that publicly condemned this man but then allowed him to live in secret and continue his awful studies, now presumably free to conduct them without worrying about morality. Ed's angry to see him alive again but as Tucker hints that the philosopher's stone is close, Ed becomes curious once more instead.

He lets Tucker guide him into the red room, listens to him as he describes making a stone out of the red liquid and is very genuinely tempted to go through it. For Al's sake, yes. But also maybe he really wants to create that mythical philosopher's stone to see if he can.

and a spare jaiden thought. because what the fuck was all that death. all that constant death. her minimap drenched in red from the endless death. she has been so self sacrificial at LEAST since bobby died, and now this?

jaiden has more family now. she has red team. she felt like cucurucho was the only one there for her, her only friend. traumabonded to an evil bear, now traumabonded to an evil cult. they have died with her. she will die for them. over and over and over and over and over again. needless in the pure quantity of death. her life is nothing to her. and why the fuck should it? the colour of the map doesn’t bother her- her world is already red

[moe-broey]

GOD I would HATE to be stuck at a family dinner with them 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I would NOT fucking survive, the vibes alone would do 1000 points poison damage to me 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Also JUST. JUST.

THE VIBES. ARE RANCID. SHARENA DARLING YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS (ALFPNSE TOO BUT DEAR LORD. Sharena LITERALLY was just told to Don't Speak Unless Spoken To RANCID. RANCID FUCKING FAMILY)

I saw a counterargument of the Wish movie that said something along the lines of, "The movie isn't Citizen Kane, so what?" Imagine typing and posting this absurd ass take and thinking it's a legitimate argument against those who criticize it. Considering that this is an animated movie released on their 100th anniversary, the fact that they delivered a "meh" at best movie should upset you when looking at Disney's movie catalog and their impact on the field of animation. If you don't hold Disney to a higher standard, they will keep putting out mediocre content, but unfortunately, too many Disney fans are sellouts to this company. Y'all wanna get mad at people for being too rough on and critical of modern Disney, but they earned this shit 100%. They became so arrogant and loved the smell of their own butthole a little too much that they did not foresee their inevitable eventual fall at all.

[astralleywright]

i say a lot that ppl in cr fandom don't believe a better world is possible but they do, actually, they just think its a matter of individual choice. it's honestly far more idealistic and unrealistic than the idea of systematic change, which everyone who advocates for knows will be an incredibly messy and risky process, because it demands a continuous pattern of people being on their best behavior, often specifically in the face of the manipulation and abuse of the system.

Vespin shouldn't have tried to become a god, Zerxus shouldn't have trusted Asmodeus, Cognozuna shouldn't have teleported away, Opal shouldn't have put on the crown, Cassida shouldn't have helped build a god killing weapon. Ludinus should have gone to therapy. Ashton and Imogen and Dorian should have prayed more correctly. hell, even the Archeart should have just tried harder to convince their siblings not to start another apocalypse on Exandria. none of these bad things would happen if someone had simply been better than the Gods are ever expected to be.*

now, that isn't even true, but even if it was that's not how people work. and it would be one thing if these were all sourceless accidents, man vs. nature, but they are very much not! there's a specific, sentient power failing all of these people and causing massive collateral damage! and yet people don't talk about all the suffering that could be avoided if the Gods were better, smarter, more patient and kind or less violent and proud.* if they got over their trauma. if they didn't make imperfect choices under duress. it's textbook victim blaming logic, to obfuscate the cruelty of the powerful and attack the victimized, because to do otherwise is to reveal that the system itself is broken in a way that demands more than just individual change.

*the Gods, at least, that are advocating for the status quo in Exandria. and also the Gods that want to kill all mortals. we can't expect them to do better.

Let's see... short, blond, has a horse named Epona? Sounds like the Hero to me.

Princess Zelda hummed, staring intently at the stable. "A name sung in song and legend... it has to be him."

Link stared at her, eyebrow twitching. "Your Highness... this is the eighth Link we've dealt with."

"Oh, hush Fancy Hands, I'm not talking about his name!" Zelda rolled her eyes dismissively. "Haven't you heard of any of the tales of the Hero?"

"Probably not the way you have," Link muttered under his breath.

"The Hero has an animal companion! A horse of fearsome pedigree, able to trample enemies underfoot!" Zelda continued, throwing her hands in the air as she told her story. "Legend says it was a black stallion that stood twenty hands tall!"

"...That sounds like a Gerudo horse."

Zelda whirled on him to argue and then paused, considering it. "Hm. Maybe. Well. You're Gerudo."

Her companion sighed heavily, brow falling heavily just above his eyes. "I'm not the Hero, Your Highness."

Zelda hummed, unconvinced. "Well, then. We still need to find the potentially real Hero, don't we? And what better place?"

"What was the legendary name of the horse?" Link indulged her, looking back at the stable.

"Epona, I think," Zelda answered. "Either that or Peona. The name kind of got obscured in that one book about it."

As she spoke, a young blonde man approached the stable, greeting a mare warmly. "Hey, Epona."

"He's the one they mentioned," Link pointed out. "That's Link."

"Named Link and has a horse that everyone in the area praises for her strength. Not a stallion, though. And her name's Epona?" Zelda hummed again, glaring at nothing. "Suspicious."

"Literally nothing about this is suspicious," her companion groaned.

"Well, let's go check him out!" Zelda proclaimed, grabbing her friend by the wrist and dragging him over. "You, there! Stable boy!"

This new Link paused, glancing at the pair and taking an uncertain step away from them. The masseur towered over the stable boy, whose eyes widened in the former's shadow. Zelda waved to get his attention.

"Yes, hi, I'm talking to you," Zelda said, clearing her throat. "Anyway! Your name is Link, right?"

"Y-yeah?"

"Well, I'm Princess Zelda. I'm here in search of the Hero of Legend."

"A-a hero?" the stable boy repeated.

"Yep," Link quipped, popping the p with his lips and crossing his arms in exasperation. "Congratulations."

"For... what? Wait, she's--you're the princess?!"

"That's right, yes, yes, bow and all the respect and the like," Zelda pushed ahead. "You should be honored, because I'm here to determine if--"

The stable boy promptly passed out.

Link hesitantly knelt down to check on the kid, glancing up at Zelda. "So, uh, he the Hero you were looking for?"

Zelda moaned, looking up at Epona. "Listen here, you little diva, just because you're the best horse around doesn't mean you can call us out here for your owner like he's a big deal... uh, is he okay?"

Link continued to poke the kid aimlessly, noting that he wasn't bleeding. "I think so. Better get someone, though."

The princess sighed heavily, hurrying to find a more senior stable attendant. Honestly, this venture was just so exasperating.

ok but blatantly and inarguably a lot of "accepting" parents would rather their children be ~nonbinary~ and/or ~nontransitioning~ than binary transgender, and this doesnt devalue exorsexism (not only because it is another form of exorsexism) but because it is a fact

[quietwingsinthesky]

which is sort of but not really tied into why i’m sort of ???? about the particular kind of fic writers that will write like. Exclusively niche stuff that they enjoy specifically (rarepairs, weirds AUs, specific kinks) and then get upset that they don’t get much interaction in comments or kudos. like, my guy, this is what we signed up for when we wrote the ship only three people know about. you can’t be upset that you’re not raking in hundreds of clicks when you specifically chose to do the unpopular thing you were interested in. it’s fine not to have a lot of attention, you gotta get used to it happening, even if you think you worked real hard on a fic and it deserves it.
