#when i'm gone (ooc)

immersion-breakers when playing as origin astarion for the first time:

he's the camp leader

all the companions wanna fuck him

And... -_-

colleague; points out a spelling mistake on a webpage, i had put 'coping' instead of 'copying'

colleague; can this be fixed in the release at the weekend?

me; i guess? It's just text in a paragraph

just a small psa : when i continue to write in my posts "please feel free to reach out" , i'm not being polite nor cute ; i mean it. let me reiterate this for the people in the back who weren't listening before - this blog is PLOT-DRIVEN & THRIVES ON OOC COMMUNICATION . while i'm in school , i'm dead to the dash. and the only feasible way to start things with me - even when i'm not in-term - is by plotting. i know that's not everyone's cuppa , and i won't fault anyone for that , but this blog is geared towards building up in-depth dynamics and storylines and connections.

While I am very excited for BTSV...

...this is the movie I have been waiting for since 2018.

The world isn't ready for this movie, and I am very eager to write out this trio here on Tumblr in the meantime.

Plus Sony is rumored to be doing a live action Silk movie?

We've entered the Era of Cindy, and I love it.

A bit of rambling, and maybe I'm speaking too soon, but so far I've had a more enjoyable time back on Tumblr in the week I've been back since I quit seriously being on here three years ago, than the three years I've spent on twitter. And I'm still dealing with the shellshock.

Coming from twitter, I am used to people being absolutely so volatile that I actually became afraid to even say hello to people because I never knew what I was going to be met with.

And here I've had people message me such nice things and just act polite to me if I asked them something, and I've just been so used to people acting needlessly rude or defensive that having people actually be nice/courteous made me double-take.

On top of all of it, it actually feels like I can share Ellie's lore with no shame or fear of embarrassment because someone will call her cringe or something, or worse, say she's not a valid character because she bends the lore in a lot of places.

TLDR: I've only been on tumblr for less than a week but the sheer difference between here and my experience on twitter is such a culture shock, it's hard for me to process that people here are just nicer, if not that then far more patient and understanding.

not even gonna tag this properly bc i don't wanna get Involved but i do have some Thoughts i need to get out into the void so here we go

(aaa quick edit: CW for mention/discussion of Boothill leaks)

Though many of these muses are on hold, the multi will expand with some new (and old muses) alike in the future that is likely some months away. Some of them will be public muses, some more private, but I'll see how to deal with that when the time comes. Any way, I'm mostly noting these down for my own future reference (or yours, if any of these tickle your fancy), so don't mind me. Also don't mind the occasional links, just a little list for myself:

— Tony Stark (MCU-based) — Ruan Mei (HSR) — Vanessa Ives (Penny Dreadful) — Ezio Auditore (yes, the oldest of oldies, don't look at me) — Zevran Arainai (Dragon Age) — Oberyn Martell (ASOIAF, possibly)

OOC: I have a chance to write today!

I spent the afternoon with my niece watching the animated and live action versions of B.eauty and the B.east one right after the other and hoo boy that was certainly a fun time. A lot of comments and criticisms (especially at the newer version) were shared, that's for sure.

(Animated was definitely the better version.)

/breathes. This icon is called killme003.png for the sake of this post because honestly, where yesterday I was rather demotivated from writing up more meta, I woke up today with the strength of all Aeons in existence (and... not-so-in-existence-anymore) for intense research. So I put my thoughts through the sternest 'let's try to shake and shoot up the perspective/logic/theory' process that I could manage, and it's still standing. If anything, I'm more certain than I was yesterday or a week ago, that MHY is doing something substantial, and vastly nuanced with this damned character. I thought I had big-brain thoughts on/for Guizhong, but I don't know if those hold a candle to the ones I have for Kafka (actually, they really do). My issue with this lady in wine though, I don't know where to start writing it all down. It's like 10 messy whiteboards that are hypotheses on her trailer, the words she uses therein, "Don't be afraid, listen to me, wasn't it you, who invited me?", "Destiny has thousands of faces, why does it choose to wear this one?", "Stealing a glance?" during someone's final moments during her spirit whisper? Like, come on, you can't tell me she doesn't play into fate somehow beyond what we've all obviously gathered. You can't tell me that there isn't a more authentic face that has been staring right at us this entire time. She borderline if not directly says it right to us, but we're almost taught to not listen anymore, to think that there's more to something, but what if writers are using that against us, what if this is an instance where we should take words at direct face value? On top of everything else, of course. Fate is "inevitable" and right in front of us always, after all.

God, imagine a being tied so intricately woven into fate (vastly differently from Elio, mind you), speaking quotes upon quotes about the inevitability of fate, and being tied to nihilism, and yet firmly holding some sort of faith into choice, and hounds us on it. I mean come on, one of the main quotes in the entire story of HSR are her words: "When you have the chance to make a choice, make one that you know you won't regret." And she directly tells us in her own SQ, and it is a confirmed truth and not a lie, that Kafka herself does not believe destiny to be predetermined. Now to what capacity? We don't know. But the contrast of this, the rich nuance in this drives me insane. The duality of this woman, the spider (which itself is already a duality of a creature) and the butterfly (not necessarily as juxtaposed as one would believe, it all depends on perspective), the curiosity/fascination opposite her boredom, the ease of her killing which is reinforced with the emotional distance of her submachine guns, and yet she speaks how we should "let morality be our (your) guide", which fits perfectly alongside the decision of having her wield a katana, a blade that was worn by those following the highest code of honor? Speaking of emotional distance, the way she speaks of humans and humanity feels so distant, along with her talk of fragility. God, I just, want to shake HVY very firmly and fiercely. The fact that her eyes are highly likely to be concealed (hello, red), the fact that her voice is altered consistently, and yet we're shown the depth and warmth of her actual voice, and the empathy it holds consistently around primarily one person (almost two).

I love writing meta, but I don't know where to begin. I don't know where to start, but I'll get there. I just wanted to show how messy my mind is, I suppose. It makes perfect sense in my head, I've seen the dots, I've connected them, I see you MiHoYo, and you're giving me everything my brain needs in terms of latching my claws into something. But my god, where do I start writing it all down.

//I'm gonna try and do some stuff this week which I know I keep saying but I mean it XD

[fatedvoyage]

my heart is warmed seeing so many new multis get set up

[talentforlying]

me wobbling constantine llike laminated paper: ooooo you are so starved for approval and too proud to ever voice it and too afraid you'll never get it so you throw yourself full-body at the worst problems humanity and hell can conjure up and make yourself look at the things that you know will haunt you because you think if you manage to win on a dramatic enough scale then maybe you'll at least earn some approval after you're dead, oooooo

[strayslost]
