#what is dark within me

turning your OCs into a marketable plushy can be something so special

“I’ve always thought you look beautiful when covered in blood. It matches your hair,” Nicolas said. “Are you hitting on me now?” “Sure, if you’re open to it.” “The village is on fire, Nic.” “That’s never stopped us before.”

The minute I saw the panels from 122, the parallels between Atsushi and Beast!Atsushi immediately came to my mind and I thought it was very powerful. Canon Atsushi eventually learns to let go of the past enough to move on and not let himself be stuck it in anymore. He didn't cry or hesitate, he was ready to move past the headmaster without turning back. He also did not lash out in anger. Whereas in Beast, he went against Dazai's warning to not go back to the orphanage, but also could not let go of the past and trauma he suffered while there. It basically consumed him, and he did what he thought would put an end to his internal suffering, but all it did was make him more empty and fill him with grief because now he would never get closure or find peace within himself. He acted out of the belief that the headmaster's graduation gift was something that would harm or kill him, so he struck first. The headmaster was dead, and so was Dazai. He has no mentor to look up to in Beast to help him process what happened in the past.

"all solas fans do is ignoring his flaws 🙄 like you always ignore the way he was going to destroy the world" is always an interesting take to just read out of nowhere when i'm listening to my Solas playlist ngl!!

Am I the only one that doesn't get the "DMMD was SO weird/a fever dream/game of all time" sentiment?

[mudwizardbignaturals]

nothing more fun than taking an OC and sticking them in as many video games as you can

If I had a nickel for every time I had a blorbo from a D&D campaign who ended up having some sort of evil twin/persona type thing, I’d have 3 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it keeps happening

99 - Butterfly

Your gaze sticks me in place, a pretty exhibit for Your delection, printed in indelible ink upon the pages of Your favourite book. What delight You must take in my jester's dance, though we already know all the steps - each and every time, a flawless performance; those loving strings won't ever let me put a foot wrong.

With skillful fingers You force my back to the story, press me against the paper like a pretty flower You picked just that morning. Do You like the way I struggle, as I squirm and sway beneath the microscope of Your inquisitive gaze? Do You see my wings flutter against the parchment, powerless beneath the pins You pierced me with? Such a pretty, pitiful prince I must seem to You, a ruler ruled over by such playful fates.

In Your eyes I spy the gleam of a jeweler's lens, ready to cut me to Your preference; planing and shaping, grinding and refining, polishing my image to a most lustrous hue. Now, take me between Your forceps and set me into Your gilded ring; Your prized possession, Your magnum opus, a glittering testament to Your cruel love for me.

Watch me shine just for You, my Angel, that You may find exactly what You're looking for in me.
