?????? was that it

[prudeau]

it's so weird when you go outside and everyone's wearing '90s clothes and have '90s hair. I feel like I've travelled back in time, but then there's smart phones everywhere. Like Troy would say, it's wrinkling my brain.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤️ (Yes, even if you don't have five fics)

Thank you Opti and @amorficzna for sending me this game! Since I only have 3, I'm gonna spread the love and use the last 2 to recommend other people's fics! (Not doing moot's fics tho as I'm sure they'll be tagged in this)

How to Lose a Girl in a Tenday

I think I put this one first, cause it was my favorite idea I had that I've written so far. I love bg3 fics that veer away from being a straight canon play-by-play. This fic starts the story of my oc, Fink, meeting the tadfools and joining their party. This first chapter is very silly.

2. Sip Happens

Karlach, my beloved. Sam Béart said in an interview (I think?) that if Karlach made it through the events of bg3, she would open a pub. I couldn't get that thought out of my head, so I started writing this modern au to give bbg her dream. Of course, I had to include Fink in this. I love writing their dynamic in this setting. Also a very silly (for now) fic.

3. Am I Meant to be Alone

THIS ONE IS NOT SILLY. Someone (I think @siyurikspakvariisis?) gave me brainworms from an ask pairing Karlach and Nocturne. The angst in my brain took over and this crackship one-shot was born. I adore Nocturne as a character, and exploring what might happen if she leaves the cloister/Shar's embrace is just so juicy. My take on that, in this fic, is very angsty. All hurt, no comfort.

4. So long as it has meaning by ohHOLYmoves

I so desperately wish the Selunite x Shadowheart romance in game had more meat to it. This fic is an exceptional take on that ship. I want to say so much more about it, but I don't want to spoil anything. There's just something about a big beefy paladin showing Shadowheart kindness and patience that makes my brain go brrrr (and, of course, it's femslash).

5. Something in the Static by Greenisher

If you couldn't tell from my first two, I love humor in fics. This one in particular? *chef's kiss* The author has incredible comedic timing, and is able to weave jokes that have me cackling into a compelling and dramatic story while covering the events of bg3. It is a femslash tav x Shadowheart fic with an extremely well developed and interesting oc.

Oh my, I may have made a mistake. (I hurriedly pull my hand back so that I don't scare you off)

Buddy got her tattoo when she was in her twenties and it faded for a while, then she met Vespa and after they became a couple they got matching tattoos—or Vespa did, she already had the wasp tattoo and then the moon.

Short Story: Was that it?

Hypnotist’s Point of View - Hypnosis

Subject: I really liked the trance we did the other night! You have a funky... quirky kind of style, but I like it!

Hypnotist : lol. Glad you enjoyed yourself! I certainly did.

Subject : I hope you did! But we didn’t do much did we? Just a first session. No real fun yet right?

Hypnotist : Are you so sure about that? ;)  

We had talked a lot before we decided to do a session. I already knew 2 things:

1- They were a marvelous subject and... 

2 - They tend to forget almost all of their sessions, even if I specifically told them they would remember. 

Hypnotist : Just teasing ! I was true to my word, no worries. Besides, didn’t you record yourself?

Subject : Right. I was about to say that I did and call your bullshit! :)

Hypnotist : No worries! I definitely stayed true to my word!

Subject : Glad you did! Means we can do this again! 

Subject : Which reminds me... 

Subject : You told me about this trigger you added or something. What is it? I assume it’s something that will drop me

Hypnotist : That would certainly be the case. Eventually.

Subject : Eventually? What do you mean?

Hypnotist : hehehehe 

Hypnotist : I mean that it won’t put you under right away, but add onto itself.

Subject : Add onto itself? I don’t get it...

Hypnotist : Well... The first time I use it, the trigger will just make you feel a wave of blank euphoria without dropping you, but if I keep using it... Then you WILL drop.

Subject : I think I experienced something similar...

Hypnotist : Or it might drop you right off the bat! You ARE a pretty incredible subject so... Who knows!  ;)

Subject : lol! Thank you!

Hypnotist : My pleasure. 

Hypnotist : So? Interested in trying?

Subject : umm... Sure!

Hypnotist : Ok then! Here we go:

Hypnotist : * Trigger *

A few moments pass.

Subject : Thhats the trigger?

Hypnotist : How do you feel?

Subject : I feel ok... I dont think I am underr.

Hypnotist : * Trigger *

Hypnotist : Let yourself go... Enjoy the growing euphoria.

Hypnotist : Growing blank and euphoric.

Moments pass. No response. So maybe they ARE just an incredible subject. So I decided to make sure.

Hypnotist : Waking up more and more AWAKE!

Subject : arre you sureit worrked? I dont thhik it did anythng

I smile... Doesn’t do anything huh?

Hypnotist : * Trigger *

Subject : I donthink thatt it wo

Seems like they were cut off mid sentence...

Hypnotist : Not working huh? Seems like it is...

Hypnotist : * Trigger *

Hypnotist : Your thoughts are getting more and more sluggish and blank

A few moments pass...

Subject : II juuss

Hypnotist : You just want to go blank

Hypnotist : * Trigger *

Hypnotist : Letting you mind go blank

Hypnotist : Enjoying the blank euphoria

Hypnotist : Focusing on my words.

Hypnotist : * Trigger *

Hypnotist : Deeper and deeper

Hypnotist : Just letting your thoughts drift away with every wave of blank euphoria.

Hypnotist : Sinking deeper and deeper.. 

Hypnotist : * Trigger *

Hypnotist : Feeling each wave getting stronger and stronger. Sinking you deeper and deeper

Hypnotist : Letting my words sink into your mind

Hypnotist : Focusing only on my words

Subject : uorw ords

Hypnotist : * Trigger *

Hypnotist : Only my words Filling your mind... Making you relax more and more.

More deepening... But they were ready for me to show them how deep my words can affect them.

Hypnotist : Lift your arm high above your head. Focused on my words. Feel it stay there. Held up by the power of my words. Only letting it down once you wake up.

Hypnotist : Very good. You are doing so well. I am so proud of you.

Hypnotist : Now letting yourself wake up slowly. Awake and feeling wonderful.

Hypnotist : AWAKE

A few moments pass.

Subject : Ok I tthink u proved your point...

Hypnotist : Wonderful. Glad I could convince you that my trigger DOES work. ;)

Subject : That was pretty fun... What else do you think you can make me do? :)

Hypnotist : Well... Why don’t we find out?

Subject : I’d like that!

Hypnotist : hehehehehe

Hypnotist : Ok then... Let’s see how deep my trigger can reach. Ready?

Subject : Oh god... YES! 

Hypnotist : Excellent! See you on the other side then...

Hypnotist: * Trigger *

Subject: On the other side o wh

Interrupted again... Ah well!

[its-kks-world]

I think Thomas Astruc is just the best example of "Confidence of a Mediocre White Man" because I really need some of his ego, bro.

Like imagine if you will opening your mouth to critique Disney/Pixar movies as subpar, being generally rude to other people in the industry, and saying you've had more original powers in your show than the entire comic industry for the last however many years when your show is Miraculous Ladybug.

Like it's literally one of the most mediocre cartoons ever, I would even say it's bad, like genuinely for multiple reasons, but this dude thinks it's groundbreaking. (It's not even groundbreakingly bad, so he needs to calm down a bit)

Like I won't even post fanfiction until I've gone over it with a fine tooth comb, but this dude is convinced he's like amazing with a show that constantly resets, has no timeline, flat characters, and him as the lead on the show.

I'm baffled and annoyed, but like also so envious of that confidence. Like pour me a cup, so I can start sharing my work without constantly worrying that it might not be good.
