Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)

I think we should stop giving Lance family problems and instead give everyone else family problems and then drag him into all of them as universe's most unpaid and unqualified therapist. As god intended

After setting up for an onsite demo, I was talking to the project owner in the conference room, waiting for everyone else to arrive, when I noticed this giant pile of post-it note cubes in all different colors, all mixed together. And I was like. No. Absolutely not.

So I reached over and, while still chatting, got them all sorted by color and then lined my color stacks up in ROYGBIV order, nice and tidy.

Project owner: Ah. I see you have a touch of the 'tism as well.

Me: Whoops.

Project owner: Probably half the people that will be in this room do too, you're among friends.

I think mayhaps that Batman should exclusively be a member of the Justice League Dark. He doesn't really like working with people but also sometimes John Constantine is like "You know Batsy, If you help me save the world by proxy it saves Gotham" So he does begrudgingly. But only sometimes when they need help with some things because he's like a very good detective and sometimes you need that! But also mostly I just want the rest of the Justice League to not believe that The Batman is real??

There's an issue that they need dealt with and they think it's a demon so they call Constantine and he's like "nah mate, this is just weird ritualistic sacrifices, I got a call to B-man on this one"

And Superman is like "haha The Batman isn't real... Right?" And then they meet him and he is very much real.

And Diana is all like "Oh Clark you silly, obviously The Batman is real" But internally she's like "holy shit The Batman is real???"

Green Arrow still doesn't believe it because he keeps missing any mission that The Batman happens to go on and he's like "If The Batman was real my best friend Brucie Wayne would have told me so. Brucey said that the Batman is just a scare tactic created by the Gotham Police department" So he's pretty sure that the rest of the Justice League is just playing a long practical joke against him specifically

Manny: Bullying Jackson for being half human.

Jackson: a big fan of Greek mythology, and throughly done with Manny's bullshit At least my dad was an esteemed and respectful scientist and not the result of my grandma having a one night stand with a bull.

Manny:...

my birthday is approaching and i’m really remembering all the chaotic birthdays i’ve had.

on my 21st birthday i was trying to get a taxi home and a yt man flagged a black cab for me, gave the driver cash and then handed me a £50 note and told me to spend it on c*ke 💀

on my 24th i went out with my friends and on my way home some random man saw me carrying gifts and asked if it was my birthday then gave me a can of red bull and £20 👍🏾

loch henry was interesting, but i found the microaggressions (mostly directed at pia) toward the beginning kind of odd. i understand that the episode takes place in a small probably more conservative town and that was maybe the point they were trying to get across, but some of those moments were heavyhanded and direct in a way that made me assume they were at least going to comprise a subplot or subtheme of some sort, especially since they were happening so frequently toward the beginning. like especially with the pronoun and diversity references, those feel like such internet conservative talking points to me that it felt like one of those moments where i was being looked back at through the screen for a reaction. i thought it was really odd that the writers seemingly forgot about that element like a quarter way through the story. i just feel like everything about the way they did all that was strange. am i alone in that?

Name: Iago Darlington

Nickname(s): Ia, Clover, Sunshine

Relationship Status: Single (Default) and pushing my Wylliago agenda with most of the hypotheticals here

Gender: No, thank you.

Romantic Orientation: Bisexual / demisexual

Preferred Pet Names: For themselves- They'll pretend to dislike them all and will require you go through a vetting process in order to find the Best One if you absolutely insist. They'll critique your choices with a little blush on their face. The pinker their ears get, the more they like it. Not that they would ever admit, but their absolute favorite is when Wyll half-ironically, half-affectionately calls them 'Sunshine'. They would Smite anyone else who tried to call them that. For others- genuine, sweet pet names are very, very rare. They'll teasingly call their most liked companions a nickname on occasion (Wyll gets 'Golden Boy,' Astarion gets some variation of 'bat', Puck gets 'Dandelion', etc.), but not so much in a romantic way. Unless alone. And even then, very rarely. Once a blue moon, Iago will call their partner "my love" or "my heart", very quietly, easily missed. They will not acknowledge it again.

Opinion on True Love: Rare, if it exists at all. They see True (romantic) Love as something that might exist, but surely not in their case ('What would be the odds?').

Opinion on Love at First Sight: As someone who has trained themselves to be suspicious of and afraid of everyone they meet, absolutely not. Unrealistic.

How ‘Romantic’ Are They?: Not at all until after they're already romantically involved. Even then, it is rarely anything traditionally romantic. Their romance most often comes out as their display of trust- they will let down their guard with you, hold your hands, tell you secrets unprompted and give you (admittedly blunt) honesty. They see romance as a return of the unfathomable faith and trust their partner gave them. More obviously, they give gifts that they will spend hours on beforehand, making sure it is meaningful and perfect.

Ideal Physical Traits: They adore a pretty smile.  

Ideal Personality Traits: Someone patient and kind-hearted, but with honesty enough to call Iago out on their shit. They very much appreciate that even if, in the moment, they would want to bite someone's head off about it. They appreciate conviction and passion, but this is something they're less aware of. They tend to confuse their admiration for jealousy and dislike.

Unattractive Physical Traits: There's nothing super specific that comes to mind, but they don't like stern features very much. Funny to say as the queen of looking perpetually pissed off and/or bored. Displays of aggression and unkind looks set off their prey instincts sorry hotties :/

Unattractive Personality Traits: This is about to be so hypocritical. We don't have time to unpack all of that. They dislike complete apathy, cowardice, and disingenuity.

Ideal Date: Going on a nature walk (getting to know them) or breaking into The Counting House (winning over their heart).

Do They Have a Type?: Someone brave stubborn enough to win them over.

Average Relationship Length: . Depends on if we count the on-and-off situationship that lasted a few years. If not, then whoever manages to make Iago fall in love with them is with them for the end of time.

Preferred Non-Sexual Intimacy: Holding hands, taking naps together, making each other laugh.

Commitment Level: Iago is a practiced liar and cheat. When they fall in love, this falls away completely to the whole other end of the spectrum and they will be devoted to their loved one until the end of time. Good luck with that!

Opinion of Public Affection: They don't mind subtle gestures- hand-holding, a very, very occasional kiss on the cheek or hand (they are especially weak to a kiss on the knuckles...). But ultimately, they prefer privacy and will be very flustered with grand affectionate gestures. Not a total dislike, it just makes them blush quite a bit and ruins their suave demeanor !! This entertains the romantic of all time, Wyll, endlessly.

Past Relationships?: So. Hair tuck. There's this Guild leader.................. The aforementioned situationship may or may not have been with Nine-Fingers Keene in the time they worked with the Guild before leaving for the Bhaal Temple. And then a little bit after having joined the cult. Increasingly messy toxic yuri. Act III is a hilarious rom com reunion to me where Wyll finds out they've got to work with his crush's one and only ex who is the possibly most infamous crimelord in the city. There is nothing normal about Iago.

Writer’s Note: A lot of this is almost completely unknown to Iago themselves and requires many, many realizations in the process of falling in love. Iago spent so long not even entertaining the idea that they would have A Life at all- love was so beyond what they could have ever imagined or hoped for for themselves. It was simply not something they thought possible for a very long time. When they start to fall for someone, it takes them completely by surprise (and they think they might've fallen ill...). I also love the idea that this feeling is somewhat mutual with Wyll, who likely has such an idealized, beautiful, courtly romance in his mind and is absolutely appalled to find he's somehow head over heels for this freak (HE WOULD NEVER ADMIT THIS. but all the companions are so thinking it....... Like really?? That one???).
