#what are you going to do about it?

Props to Rings Of Power for making us care enough for Valandil - a minor character - to such an extent that his death came off as both shocking and sad with the shock factor not overriding the element of tragedy. Props to the writing team for treating like all characters like real people instead of puppets and to the directors for letting the graveness of that moment sink in.

Otherwise, certain shows in recent times have failed miserably at that.

Random OC fact because it's been a while since I've talked about them:

If Augustine doesn't like someone he will pretend he doesn't know their name just to be petty. But in the way where he will look them dead in the face and address them by the wrong name. He will also call them by a different wrong name each time

Offtopic on the story.. but

If Fast could choose one FREAK(Turbo) that she'd date, who would it be?...

OTP: Lite Sneeze // Macha Richter & Vinnie Gallo

Guys. This is emotional for me.

This is possible thanks to @gloryride - she made Macha an NPV, which means I can spawn her in Vinnies game as an NPC and pose her with him.

In real life, today marks the 10th wedding anniversary of me and my husband. And I get to show off my OTP in a joined pic for the first time. So I can't feel help but feel like there's some divine timing involved here.

More crying under the cut.

When I spawned her in and had Vinnie next to her, I started crying. When I started this journey in January of this year, I had NO IDEA about anything, RP, VP, OCs. I didn't know you could SHIP characters. I didn't know you could just make up their stories and lore. But I gladly fell into the rabbit hole that is the Cyberpunk 2077 VP fandom, and I don't regret a single minute.

I made these two out of Vs that I actually played with on console. They are now no longer Vs bc I can't have them die, ok.

They were not an OTP at first, but when someone asked if they could make an OC to ship with Vinnie, I was like - :but, but he has Macha!" And Lite Sneeze was born, albeit like Romeo and Juliet bc they could never be together (in a picture) - or so I thought.

And then I actually saw a picture of Dagger (by @wraithsoutlaws) and Ivarr (by @dreamskug ) TOGETHER. It was thos post - which is still so freaking badass. So I knew it was *theoretically* possible. Of course, I quickly learned that I wouldn't be able to do it myself, so imagine the joy when I heard that I could commission someone to make an NPV.

I tried recreating one of our wedding pictures, but - alas - I couldn't (yet). Posing a couple is so different, and I have so much learning to do. Lighting them is a challenge bc their skintones are so different. Vinnie needs an extra light, but with them being so close (🧡) it also reflects on her, and she is over exposed. Finding poses that fit. Their height difference! It is the same height difference my husband and I have - I made Vinnie as tall as he is, and Macha is my height (6'6/1,99 and 5'8/1,73). I mean, that feels amazing, but it's a challenge for VP for sure.

But I am sooooo happy with how the first pic turned out. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS. I get so giddy looking at that. I think I managed to show their love in that pic.

Okay, so here's to a lot more shippy pics with Mr Gallo and Miss Macha bc I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.

Astarion: "Maybe never seeing the sun again is just the price of freedom."

Elayne: "I'll be with you either way. I hope you know that."

Astarion: "I think I do."

Astarion: "Assuming we survive, of course. Because a horrible death is always just around the corner with you."

---

There's something... bittersweet about the way Astarion simply accepts that after the tadpole business is over with, he'll never be able to walk in the sun again. He's not happy about it, but it is what it is. It was better than the alternative.

Elayne then reassures him, telling him she'll be with him no matter what, and he grins at her with relief. Of course, then Astarion has to be himself and make a joke about being around her is always so life threatening.

I just love how she looked like she was ready to fight in that moment. 😂

to those of you who read my tags and think i am a germaphobe or deeply paranoid: Yes.

[inkskinned]

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.
