#they aren’t starving

[astraystayyh]

this will make water non drinkable in Gaza and destroy any future prospect of agriculture, all in the midst of a man-induced FAMINE in which Israel uses starvation as a method of warfare WHICH IS YET ANOTHER WAR CRIME!!!! one that israel proudly confirms because they know they will face ZERO repercussions for their acts

Honestly obsessed right now with the way all the BG3 romancable girlies are the most affection starved creatures on the planet

Shadowheart is just existing in a constant state of being manipulated and abused by Shar and Viconia on behalf of Shar. She has like exactly one friend who she can’t even remember when we meet her because even that has to be taken from her on Shar’s demands. She’s probably had lovers but she can’t remember them and Shar wouldn’t allow anything serious anyway. The two people would show her affection are her parents who she’s not even allowed to remember are her parents from one interaction to another and who she’s made to torture, again for Shar. And the way she talks about Shar, it’s clear that Shadowheart wants some kind of positive attention, but the only attention she gets is a shock collar that punishes her when she’s not being what Shar wants her to be.

Lae’zel is made to see affection as a sign of weakness. She can’t comprehend even treating kids in a way that can even be slightly considered coddling. She sees it as damaging to them, raising them to be weak, because she was raised to cull or be culled when it comes to her peers. If you romance her, she’s initially deeply uncomfortable with the idea of even just cuddling after sex. And even sex is a power struggle, even when she thinks it can’t be anything more than casual. She can’t be weak even while she’s fucking bottoming. You have to be nearly into act 3 before she’ll even admit that she wants you to touch her gently and she says asking for it is one of the most frightening things she’s ever done. The girl doesn’t even know what the word love means until the epilogue, if you romance her.

Minthara has spent her entire life looking over her shoulder for people waiting to kill her in some power struggle. The relationships she mentions to you either ended with death or at least had assassination attempts at some point. She seems close to her mother for a drow noble but still sees that as a relationship that has to end eventually in murder. And even though she has had her mind taken from her, she seems much more eager to pry into your mind than anyone else and when she does it’s because she’s looking for information on herself. How you see her. She wants to see everything laid out and to trust each other completely. Having access to each others’ minds is probably somewhat of a relief to her, because this way she can know exactly how you feel and exactly if and when you’re going to betray her. If you don’t intend to, then that would be the first time in her life she could ever not be constantly on edge around someone.

And Karlach. It’s sad because she’s absolutely the one that would be most willing to trust and open to affection. But she literally is not physically able to receive it. She was forced to fight in the blood war for a decade unable to trust anyone and not having a single friend. The closest thing she had was still a devil who enjoyed hurting her in petty little ways, who would still sell her out to Zariel. And when she’s escaped from the Hells, she still can’t physically touch anyone without killing or at least severally hurting them. She is clearly the most openly eager for physical affection, even the most platonic and casual touch, but she can’t get that. She will literally physically hurt anyone who gets too close to her not matter how hard she tries not to, because of how other people hurt her.

Steve and Eddie are definitely the annoying couple who keeps making out in front of everyone because they can’t keep their hands off of each other for too long.

Like, it’s a movie night for example and not even twenty minutes in and Steve’s already sitting on Eddie’s lap as they make out and let these small giggles that makes everyone hiss at them to shut the fuck up.

And when they play DnD, everyone real focused, there comes Steve bringing everyone some snacks and sodas and lord behold their beloved Master is already up and going to hug him like they weren’t just in the middle of a campaign.

Dustin gives them shit for it the most, but he secretly really loves them together. He just likes to be a dick.

sometimes it feels like i’m existing on a different plane than some of the atla fandom, like when people complain they can’t find zutara fics that also contains a positive depiction of the friendship between Aang, Katara, and Zuko

baby, I read them all the time - are we using two different AO3s??

Genuinely I think headcanon edits are extremely fun, I just think people should stop trying to fight against the original art style like their life depends on it. Some great ideas get absolutely ruined when this happens. Like at least personally, I think drawing a semi-realistic nose on a cartoony face just won’t look good or make sense no matter how nice that nose looks disconnected from the whole drawing because it doesn’t suit the proportions of the original art.

Like be confident, make your own fanart! Your style is great, and trying to glue it to a different one does not do it justice at all! I understand drawing is hard, trust me I’m ass at it, but like, yall have talent, stop weighing yourselves down by the limitations of the original piece. Fuck it, redraw the face entirely, you can do better, I know you can :)

All the folks of kings landing are rioting because they aren’t happy with the variety of food being offered. They don’t want fish anymore, they want something else.

My autistic ass heard that they were eating the same thing everyday and was like “I don’t see the problem. That is my ideal.” I have like 4 meals I rotate indefinitely for myself. Sure I will try new things, but in general I could eat the same four things for the rest of my life and be perfectly fine.

Also pretty pissed off that they weren’t upset that they were starving. They were upset because they were sick of fish. Literally choosing beggars. The fuck, Condal? Has he never met a poor person before? We don’t care what the food is as long as we eat that day.

when the d!ckheads fandom only has like one fic on ao3 (that isn’t even ABOUT the characters) so you get the urge to just do everything yourself and make a fic.

and then that urge wins and you’ve just spent a good amount of time making a fic.

(definitely not talking about myself.)

Killing Helios’ cows was a Bad Move by Eurylochus and the crew, but the last time they likely had a halfway decent meal MIGHT have been Polyphemus’ sheep. They get to Circe’s island. The meal the scouting party eats turns them into pigs. She may end up on good terms with the captain, but there’s no way in hell I’m eating anything else offered. I don’t trust any food she has on her island anymore just out of fear I may be committing cannibalism or might get turned myself. I’m not eating a goddamn siren. They’re literal monsters and I’m not looking to find out if sirens are toxic to human beings if ingested. Of course by the time they get to the island after mutinying, they’re all starving and willing to do what they can to survive. And if they don’t? Well, then, at least they’ll die with their bellies full.

Why is it that taking care of others is beutiful and gentle and warm and important and always worth the effort but taking care of myself is ugly and gross and hard and never feels worth anything

[hero-dualies-3]
