Lot of takes going around the internets about certain "deaths" in the ofmd season finale, so, uh-- guess it's time for me to try and lose some followers on tumblr dot com with

Some Thoughts on Why I Am Not Particularly Bothered or Concerned about Izzy's Apparent "Death"

Laying the groundwork first...

1. Narratively speaking, Izzy's been a dead man walking since the start of the season. Babe shot himself and got a rebirth-- but he still definitely intended to die. Every minute he was still around was borrowed time.

Did he have to die? Maybe not. I know I could've written a version of the show where he didn't. But then that would be my show-- not theirs. I can't know exactly what themes, bugbears, bête noires, catharsis, or artistic Vibes are driving that writers' room, and until the credits run on the finale of the third season, none of the rest of us can either.

2. Izzy spent the season being in a liminal state-- and there's nothing in the story saying that he can't continue doing that. Izzy spent the season having one foot in one space, one hoof in the other, and himself halfway through the door, a chimera of mirrored things right up to his "death": pirate and ship, hard and soft, old ways and new, etc etc. But "the gravy basket" is a weird little liminal space between life and death, a place that both Ed and Buttons have found (and returned from) before. We don't know where Izzy "is" right now-- he could be there.

(tbh, I wonder how much poor feeling we'd be having about all this if we'd gotten a final tag of a blue-washed Izzy staring down at a bowl of soup while helplessly saying "but this isn't gravy, what the fu--")

3. I think there is an unfortunate belief that "it's not real unless you see the body" is a universal -- or perhaps inarguable -- "fact" of storytelling. But it's not. It's just a bit of narrative shorthand that got popular, and now we're too ready to fall into the trap of believing the inverse is true too-- that if there is a body, then there must therefore have been a "real" death.

This season has spent quite a lot of narrative time and effort telling us that its story is using a different model, with different shorthands; specifically, that magic is real, that there is at least some kind of existence after death, and that the dead can be resurrected.

And that brings me to the meat of why I'm not particularly bothered or concerned about what, at this stage of the story, could still very well be just a minor setback--

4. This whole show, and particularly this season, is a fairy tale. It's a story that works with fairy tale logic and tropes, and it's in conversation with other fairy tales too, ones that the OFMD audience is likely to know well enough to spot their narrative beats in action. So "Pinocchio" gets mentioned a lot? Cool-- the audience applies what is commonly known of that story to this one ("a real boy", the mirror-opposite being a puppet with no nose, etc), and finds some Cool Shit. Then they're primed to keep looking for fairy tales, even unnamed ones, in case there's another little nugget of reward-dopamine for finding a connection.

So the fact that we saw a mermaid? Suddenly, I personally am noticing "Little Mermaid" motifs all over the place. That Ed was in a "sleep like death" -- after fucking around with a spinning wheel -- until his prince came to wake him? Well fuck, man, that's Blackbeard playing "Sleeping Beauty" for us all.

And bringing it all back to a "dead" Izzy Hands... when I add up a "dead" body surrounded by a bunch of laborers mourning the person who nominally kept their living space nice AND who was wanted dead by an authority figure for the crime of being the "better" version of what that figure wanted to be...

...well fuck, idk about the rest of you, but to me that all adds up to Izzy's story being Snow fucking White. Waiting for someone to come pull the bullet poisoned apple from his body so he can live again.

5. This is a second season. Of three. And Izzy Hands is the writer's favorite chewtoy, so there is lots of time, space, and incentive to bring him back. If there's a third season, we have a pile of ways he could be brought back over the course of hours of literal viewing time and possibly months of in-narrative time. That's ages.

And the solutions don't have to be difficult! For instance, we still have canonical hallucinations from Stede-- that's one route. Or fuck it, we could have Izzy's (very solid-looking) ghost be the embodiment of their being haunted by the Sea, that would work too.

And even barring all that-- his grave is right there with our heroes. The ship is out there hunting down his murderer. Even if you're happy he's dead... bad news, friend. He's all over the third season landscape. (uh oh, it's GNU Izzy Hands)

But those are just a few options that leave his body rotting but his character still alive. I happen to think we could all dream a little bigger, darlings. For instance:

A. You cannot tell me that these writers, on this show, with these actors, would not absolutely go all in on a zombie-esque hand thrusting out of the dirt mere hours after burial. Look me in the eyes and tell me Con O'Neill wouldn't pull off an entire digging-out scene only to end with himself panting beside the hole, looking around, hearing Ed and Stede being weird in their haunted hut, and wearily say, "Are you fucking kidding me."

B. Don't like zombies? Want to stay closer to the Snow White vibe AND introduce a love interest for him? One hyphenated word: body-snatcher. Gotta dig those bodies up fresh for the Definitely Historically Accurate anatomists of the time! But oh, says this New Guy, this corpse is-- wow, it's weird that they buried him with a rose and really amazing makeup and a truly extraordinary number of whittled whales, plus what's with that horsey leg grave marker, this guy must've been fucking fascinating, man, I wish I could've met him-- --at which point Izzy's hand shoots out and chokes the guy half to death and the lads come tumbling out of the house and ta da, mission accomplished, Izzy resurrected in 5 minutes or less with his horsey leg conveniently beside him and an entire season for himself and everyone else to Deal With It, amazing, fantastic, no notes from me.

C. Come to think of it, there is genuinely a non-zero chance that the crew just. Fucked up the burial. I mean... even though I was just arguing why we shouldn't see it as Law, we didn't actually see the body. We saw a grave. What did they bury him in? Was it a box? Was it some canvas? Did they definitely pick up the right one when it was time to bury him? Or did they maybe carefully make him an ahistorical safety coffin just in case a cat demon came to bother him and his corpse wanted to make a fuss about it, y'know, very common, could happen to anyone, and Frenchie just so happens to have Blackbeard's old collar bell right here--

6. Here's the bottom line, imo: The only thing that would keep Izzy really actually dead and completely removed from the story is a lack of narrative time and space-- and we have plenty of both. Stories are like Lego. If you've got enough time and you're willing to play with pieces from a whole lotta different sets, it's not hard to put the same elements together in different ways to get new, exciting configurations. It's why I'm actually rubbish at predicting exact details of stuff-- there are a lot of ways something could go, there are infinite doors out of problems the narrative seems to throw at us, and no two people will come up with the same thing because we're all different.

That, to me, is one of the big ways I personally enjoy and engage with stories. And it's why I genuinely can't be fussed about Izzy's death, not when we're only two-thirds through the story as a whole; observing someone setup and then try and execute a complicated narrative trick is my jam.

But my way of engaging with all this is by no means the best or only way. How we all interact with art, and what speaks to us, is extremely personal. If how this season and Izzy's death went just didn't work for you, that's okay. I'm sorry it wasn't the story you wanted it to be. That blows.

I just know I can't say yet that it didn't work for me. I won't know until I can take in the entire picture, just as I can't judge a finished Lego set by the one piece I step on midway through construction. I can see different ways Izzy's death/rebirth could absolutely work, but will the writer manage it? I dunno.

But I'm willing to wait and see if the stupid puppet can pull it off.

[azems-familiar]

this is a pinned post i guess

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Liadan or Lee, but I'll respond to various shortenings of the urls I've had over the years, so don't feel fussed to change how you think of me in your head if that's the case. I'm in my mid-20s and have been on this hellsite since 2016. I use either they/them or xe/xem pronouns and am a trans, bigender, ace butch, happily engaged to my qpp @ipreferfiction. I am proship, anti-censorship, and not afraid to use the block button if you start causing me problems.

I don't have sideblogs so all content I find interesting or relevant will be here on this blog. Ask to tag if there's something you'd like to filter out - I can't guarantee I'll remember it, but I do my best. All politics go under #politics. Big current events will usually go under #current events if I remember. I try to tag fandoms but that doesn't always particularly work. My personal textpost tag is #ramblings. For things I create, look under #my edits (screenshots/virtual photography), #my writing (snippets and whatnot), and #my fic (full-length fic posts or links). My ask tag is #asked and answered; my tag game tag is #things i'm tagged in; any ask games I reblog will be tagged with #ask me thiiings. Ultimately, this is my own personal space; I will do my best to adjust for other people's comfort but I won't completely put myself into a box for it.

If we're mutuals, I will politely ask you to tag posts with bug pictures/etc in them with #bug - I have a bug phobia and while I do my best to curate on my own, sometimes i still get images on my dash and that's definitely not the most enjoyable thing.

My current main fandom is ffxiv, but there will be occasional posting about star wars (especially swtor and kotor), dragon age (especially with the new game coming out), mass effect, and other various things I find interesting. I have ocs in most of the above fandoms, and tag them all as #oc: [name here]! Just in case you'd like to go looking for them.

There will be Lalafell/Non-Lalafell shipping on this blog. If that bothers you, unfollow me/block me/hit the back arrow now. I will not tolerate harassment for it. This is your only warning.

FFXIV OC Directory

Links will be added here as I write actual posts for these guys! First name is their current incarnation as of the Seventh Astral Era, second is their original, Unsundered, ancient self. Any in-between reincarnations will be in bulleted lists beneath the main headings.

Rhaya Wolndara // Kyriaki

Savvel // Athanasios

Seika Valeriant // Psyche

Fic Directory

I use various pseuds on AO3 to separate by fandom. That said...

FFXIV fics:

your boldness stands alone among the wreck (series): Catch-all series for everything related to Lelesu's and Corrain's shared universe. Childhood friends Helios and Seleukos rise to prominence in their society, building a home for themselves, only to watch it all come crashing down during worldwide calamity. Lelesu and Corrain, both chosen by Hydaelyn, struggle to navigate the life of a hero among personal griefs, world-ending threats, far too many politics, thirteen-thousand-year-old pasts returning to haunt them...and the trials and tribulations of crushes.

in the shadow of the sun (series): Broken by grief inflicted during the Final Days and tempered to Zodiark besides, Azem - an Unsundered Ascian - discovers the fragmented soul of their lost best friend in Corrain, the Warrior of Light. Unable to stay away from him, Azem slowly learns how to live again among the loss, and how to look to the future instead of stay mired in a nostalgia- and pain-tinted view of the past that never truly existed.

Both the above series are cowritten with @sunderedazem, and Corrain and Helios belong to him.

Rules

Age Restricted

This blog is 18+, absolutely no exceptions! Mun is in their 20s and will not rp with minors. If you are under 18, please do not follow or interact. You will be blocked.

Semi-Selective

At the moment, I am happy to rp/interact with the majority of those who want to write with me! However, I can be choosy if I feel our writing styles don't match or we don't click in the way we portray our muses.

I may drop threads if I lose motivation or I feel as though I'm carrying it. If you're concerned I've dropped our thread and wish to continue it, please just let me know! I may be open to continuing with some additional plotting, or at the very least I will offer an explanation as to why it was dropped.

I don't do exclusives! I love to see writers portray their own take on their muses, so doubles are welcome here.

Hard blocking is reserved for minors and weirdos - I won't hard block you if I no longer want to interact, I will probably just unfollow.

Dark Themes

This is Angel Dust - dark topics and are going to be a common occurance. Please be mindful of your own wellbeing and/or triggers. Sexual violence, physical violence, abuse, trauma, sex work, substance abuse and addiction are all big parts of Angel's story, and while I will do my best to tag things accordingly, if this is likely to trigger you, I would advise not to follow.

Mun =/= Muse

Angel can be a prize dickhead at times. He might not be kind to your muse, even if your muse is kind to him. He has a short temper and zero impulse control, and is prone to flying off the handle. I will most likely ask if I feel like anything I write would cross a line, but I don't see this as ever being more than Angel throwing around hurtful words.

Triggers

I tag obvious triggers such as abuse and violence, but if you need anything more specific tagged, just let me know! I may fuck up from time to time and forget to tag something, in which case just shoot me a message and I'll fix it.

NSFW

NSFW content is fine and to be expected with this muse! However, I won't write smut unless we've been writing together for a while. All NSFW content will be tagged, and anything explicit will be under a cut.

Shipping

Head over heels for Huskerdust, not massively interested in shipping Angel with other characters from the show. However, I ship based on chemistry, so if our muses develop a connection, I'm open to exploring this. I prefer this to be discussed ooc if it starts heading that direction. Open to OC ships, but again, chemistry is key. And, obviously, Angel is gay - I'll be writing him as such. If your muse is female/fem-leaning, sorry, but he ain't into it!

(I also feel the need to stress that while I enjoy exploring the dynamic between Angel and Valentino, please do not misinterpret this as shipping. To be clear, writing interactions between characters who have a toxic and abusive relationship while also acknowledging love, sex and trauma bonding as a realistic part of that relationship does not constitute shipping, to my own definition. I am more than happy to explore the dark themes within their dynamic as long as we are on the same page about this.)

Requires Discussion

I am pretty lax, and will rp a lot without requiring prior discussion. If your muse is becoming violent towards mine, you don't need to worry about asking permission, especially when it is context relevant (eg. a thread between Angel and Valentino). I only ask that the following are discussed beforehand: any form of sexual assault (I will not write anything graphic), discussion of csa, a character causing massive injury to another or a character killing another.

Off Limits

Graphic descriptions of sexual violence; sexual or romantic interactions with a character who is a minor; incest; paraphilias

Format

I have a preference for long-form RP, but I also do IC asks. Multi para is preferred.

Asks

I will answer most asks - just please don't spam my inbox!

Literacy

I don't expect anyone to match my length with replies - this is largely because I have a tendency to go overboard and write more than my partner! I prefer to write multi para because of this, but I'm open to all lengths.

Although I don't expect partners to match my length, I do like them to match my effort. As much as this is a fun and silly hobby, it's time-consuming and laborious, and I very much pour my heart into my writing. I want to write with people who value my contributions as much as I value theirs!

Personally, I am not massively bothered about literacy skill. However, if your language or grammar make it so I struggle to understand your response, I will not be able to write with you.

Activity Status

Currently very active! With my current number of threads, my average reply time is around 3-4 days. But if for some reason I haven't replied, don't panic! I'm a naturally slow writer and a perfectionist, it can take me a while to finish a response, especially if our thread responses are long. And, obviously, I do have a life outside of tumblr. However, if you're worried I've forgotten our thread, just shoot me a message!

OOC

I am more than happy to talk ooc, and welcome yall to message me! Whether it's for plotting reasons, ideas, headcanons, or just to shoot the shit, I love getting to know the people I write with!

you can’t tell, but I’m dozing off under this mask

#redhoodedtodd— independent selective jason todd blog from the dc universe. medium activity. crossover friendly. 18+ only. written by puff (she/her 25+). mutuals only.

dark & questionable themes present. please read rules before following.

site. memes. multimuse & criminal!hawks blogs.

18+ Only. I am over 25, and I will only write with people over 18. If I believe I am speaking with someone below legal age, I will cut off contact immediately.

21+ Shipping. I am so sorry to anyone under 21, but I am more comfortable writing ships / more intimate relationships with those over the age of 21. I’m still happy to write with anyone over 18 in a general manner, but I just don’t want to write that, you know?

No Bigotry. I know I write some HELLA problematic kids, but ooc we do not take any of the phobias. Just leave. (I didn’t think I needed to say this specifically but I do not support JKR. I like the sandbox, I like how people write the characters, I think she’s a bigoted bitch. Verse will be tagged if it's used.)

Following. I will probably only follow blogs I see myself having fandoms in common && I will have read your rules. I am happy to write with OCs as well and am duplicate friendly! (Please please please I miss my old Todd Squad.) I will not follow those who are critical of what others are writing in their own spaces. I can respect having boundaries. I do not respect calling people names or hammering down on people for their interest in fictional topics.

Ending Contact / Blocking. The block button is a friend and I advise we all get to know her.

If we are mutuals and you unfollow for any reason other than inactivity please hard block me. I do not mind and I will not dig into it. I mainly do not want to cause discomfort because my forgetful ass follows you again. Moreover, I don’t want to be under the impression we’re still mutuals. I’ve gotten chewed out for it before and I’m way too sensitive for this world.

If I unfollow from inactivity or just no interaction, I'll probably soft block. I just prefer to do so.

If I’ve blocked you and we’ve never interacted? I just don’t see us meshing and/or something in your rules made me decide my blog may not be for you. No one is perfect for everyone.

If I am made to feel uncomfortable for any reason, I will cut off communication and block. The block button is a friend. We love her.

Triggers. This blog can and probably will contain dark, questionable, and possibly problematic themes. I will tag things as appropriately as I can. I will not tag things out of fanon thought (i.e. ‘they’re like brothers’ does not equal incest). All ship art / ship threads will have tags. Block them or block me. Again, I don’t mind. I don’t have many triggers, but will not be writing the following:

Any terminal illness au threads or any thread that has terminal illness romanticized.

Any romance / sexual relationship between a minor and an adult. All my muses partaking in a relationship WILL be 18+, though more likely 21+.

Anything regarding scat or vomit.

On Shipping.

Do not force ships on me. I will not force ships on you. I don’t mean don’t approach me and ask— I mean don’t have your muse automatically talk about having an intimate relationship with mine without discussion. My muses USUALLY need to work up to ships and I most likely will NOT instantly ship unless we’ve discussed it because in canon characters are married or DEEPLY involved.

Some of my muses may NEVER be truly interested in a relationship despite having feelings for someone. I apologize for that, but I really love complicated dynamics and sometimes a muse can't accept love.

Also— please do not take me talking about a certain ship and/or writing fic or drabble about a certain ship as me trying to pressure you into it! I post a lot of Jason/Roy content, for example, but my Jason is not easy to romance! I love all kinds of dynamics.

Length. I’m not a stickler for matching length by any means, but PLEASE give me something to work with, even if it is continued from a meme. I will most likely not reply to one-liners.

Writing Multiples. I am open to playing multiple characters within a thread (NPCs included).

Characterization. My characterization of my character is my own. Do not force your headcanons for my character on me. Please at least read the snippet of “about characterization” before we thread, or ask me and I will gladly tell you. I will bring it to your attention if something has been misinterpreted.

Literate. My job includes copy editing... so I don't want to write with a mass of errors. I expect my writing partners to be literate-- though of course errors happen and I'm perfectly understanding!

God Modding. Do not godmod. Do not assume things of my characters. Do not try to control the actions of my muses— NPCs I am happy to share 'custody' of. Exceptions are made for small things that help more the story forward.

Drama. I REALLY didn’t think I needed to add this. Do not, under any circumstances, involve me in your drama. Do not take our mutual status as a reason to bring me into your battles. I do not want details, I don’t want information, I will block you. Unless someone is harming REAL MINORS or doxxing people? I do not want to know your beef.

𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙉 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙎𝙃𝘼𝙆𝙀 𝙈𝙔 𝙏𝙊𝙈𝘽.

Gale of Waterdeep, wizard prodigy and potential ruin of entire civilizations at your service. An independent and private roleplay blog for Gale of Baldur's Gate III. Read rules before interacting. Themes of abusive relationships, grooming, and suicide will be present. Read my carrd or under the read more to view both rules and Gale's about.

Associated with: @toherdemise, @abysswarden, @daandov/@sanctifisol, @breathandshadow, @feuerwizard, @rubistella, @relentlessgrief, @avernusfuries, @proditeur, @miidnighters, @himlayan, @bolyde, @bloodczar, and @thcdoomed.

Rules.

Godmodding will not be tolerated. However, for setting up a scene, generic set-ups may be pursued i.e. catching Gale reading a book. Go crazy.

As a private blog, I will write only with mutual followers.

I am selective. I will only follow blogs with characters I find Gale can interact with. Second, the blog must have a rules and about page. Additionally, an emphasis in writing must be present meaning there should not be frequent out of character content. If I find there is a lack of interest/interaction, I will softblock. I hardblock if unfollowed first to keep things neat and to avoid mistakes. For personal reasons, I do not follow any Raphael blogs. You can also find me over at @mageister for Dorian Pavus.

Shipping is open, though frequent interaction is required – and a healthy dose of out of character communication (roleplay related or not) always helps. Ships are NOT the main priority of this blog. I am happy to indulge in all kinds of relationships for Gale, including the platonic. I only ship with one variation of any canon character. I will not ship if you are already shipping with a Gale.

On the topic of shipping, this blog is open to NSFW interactions, but that is reserved for characters at least 26 years of age. My writing partners should be +21.

Let me know of any triggers you may have, and I will tag my posts accordingly. I read everyone’s rule pages, but things may slip my mind. As for myself, there are no triggers you need to make a note of.

Absolutely do not interact if you write with geracht (Danny) or ingolds (Ana), both of whom support my abuser and are avidly in their circle. I will also like nightsdogma/shedornish/Blue/Leah kept well away. Beyond them, I have a mental DNI of my abuser themselves. Any amount of interaction with these people will not be tolerated. No exceptions.

I am Dean, Vietnamese, and 30 years old.

About.

𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒.

Name: Gale Dekarios

Birthday: The 20th of Marpenoth

Age: 38

Gender: Cis Male

Race: Human

Martial Status: Single

Sexuality: Bisexual

Patron Deity: Mystra

Current Residence: Waterdeep, Sword Coast, Western Heartlands

𝐏𝐇𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋.

Height: 5'10" 

Build: Lean 

Hair Color: Brown, light greying.

Eye Color: Dark brown

Markings: Chest, a dark wispy orb starting at the crest of his sternum up toward his jaw. This is a branding caused by his Netherese orb.

Piercings: Left earlobe

Notable conditions: The Netherese orb of destruction sat heavy in his chest cannot and should not be understated. Functioning not unlike a ticking time bomb, Gale, who appeases its nearing eruption through the consumption of magical items, walks the road as impending destruction, the force of which that can easily level entire cities. The condition hurts him, aches him, and beyond a deep, voracious hunger, strikes him not unlike the clamping of teeth down every nerve. 

The orb, a foul result of spiraling-mad Karsus magic, has also begun to rot slowly at Gale’s body. For now, this arcane-gnawing is worst in his right arm. Beside a heightened sensitivity down its length, Gale has taken to constant wrappings to conceal the wounds and those signs of his slow but certain degradation. Notably, his veins here are a deep blue-black, and, on those bouts where his orb aches the hardest, his skin breaks, causing a slow but undeniable bleed. As he conjures magic through his hands, it seems the orb starts its decaying creep there.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘.

MBTI: ENTP, the Debater.

Moral Alignment: Neutral Good

Positives: Charming, polite, focused.

Neutrals: Inquisitive, ambitious, witty.

Negatives: Proud, reclusive, low self-worth.

Gale is sociable, likable, but notably secretive. Like any tantalizing book, to learn Gale is to devote yourself to a careful and patient study. Get past the unassuming and admittedly delightful cover, however, and you are sure to find a sobering if not frightening tale of power and greed. Gale, ever the inquisitive man and bound to his thirst for knowledge, is susceptible to throwing caution to the wind in the pursuit of discovery. He has a dark past, and with it, a perhaps dangerous need for redemption, a just desire marred and made complicated by his need for all-powerful magics.

Approves of: Generally more morally aligned deeds and shows of mercy. Showing any fascination in the arcane will surely put a smile on his face.

Disapproves of: Generally violent decisions, especially if consequences negatively impact innocents. Any choice to disrespect his privacy and boundaries will also net disapproval, in addition to judging him – his character or his actions.

Enjoys anything and all things magic, wine, reading, astronomy, history, poetry, cooking, and… tressyms! 

𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍.

Wizard (necromancer). With a Netherese orb of destruction coiled deep in his chest, Gale has taken to wandering the roads of Faerûn. If asked, he will answer simply that he is on a journey like any other, seeking knowledge and turning over as many stones as his mortal life allows. However, in truth, he is seeking a way to slow the inevitable implosion of that bomb he houses. 

After and before this orb, Gale is not wandering, but instead settled very firmly in Waterdeep. During his year in isolation, Gale becomes exceedingly proficient in necromancy in a desperate attempt to slow the spreading rot in his body.

Professor. After the events of Baldur's Gate III, Gale is a professor of illusion magics at Blackstaff Academy.

𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘.

A powerful wizard, Gale, for as long as he’s known, has had an unrivaled appetite for knowledge. As a spry and inquisitive boy, though afflicted with a-little-more-than-occasional fit of troublemaking, he had long indulged in scholarly pursuits. Gale has always pored himself completely into the weaving of spells and all things wizardry, and in doing so, grew to be a man of astonishing skill in only thirty-eight springs.

However, his story is not at all without its, say, complications.

Gale, a mortal man, had fallen hard for the goddess Mystra, she who tends to the Weave, and as a consequence, all of magic. However, pursuing deeper love and greater gestures to impress his lover, Gale had foolishly sought out an ancient tome, one which contained a portion of the Astral Plane – or a cosmic realm where all time has slowed to a stop. This portion contained a fragment of the Weave, or that well from which all raw magics spring from, a portion that was lost to Mystra. However, Mystra warned Gale to stave his curiosity and to stop all search for this ancient text, a warning her mortal lover did not and would not heed.

Finding the tome, Gale, opening its contents up to his curiosity’s content, found not just a portion of the Weave, but a portion of the Weave of Karsus, or an ancient Weave whose purpose is to supplant the original. In doing so, Gale became host to a Netherese Destruction Orb, found his magics weakened, and became a ticking time bomb that, if not assuaged by the consumption of magical artifacts, will detonate with a force strong enough to level entire cities.

Spurned by Mystra, Gale has taken to the roads, a wandering Wizard seeing to calm the nearing demise housed deep in his bones. However, on his doomed journey, Gale was abducted and made prisoner by the illithids, finding himself held captive upon a nautiloid vessel. There, he was implanted with a tadpole that, by all accounts, should have turned him into a mindflayer. Yet, against all odds, Gale’s transformation was kept at bay, and upon the crash of the nautiloid, Gale again walks a free man – and with even more dark, dangerous secrets to keep bottled up and corked tight.

His journey is now two prong: remove the tadpole, and if possible, stop the Orb’s nearing explosion. However, to the latter, should he fail, all is well: he will find a dark, deep, and lonely place to spend the last of his days, sparing as many as possible from death.

For all the books he reads, it seems he’s become a fascinating tale himself.

Lookin’ Pretty For Me? » Baji Keisuke

A/N : @milkkai you said to do baji so here he is :3 I don’t think I’ve written dc before, my first time, sooo this will be fun and i hope it was okay :’)

(( I was the anon :3 ))

Warning!: 18+!, tw.dark content, incest, possessive/controlling brother, degradation, like one spank, dub-con(?), bit of dacryphilia, mean! Baji <3,

aged up baji and yes, I’m writing nsfw for baji. He’s the loml, don’t hate, just unfollow or ignore :/ I have a feeling I’ll get a ton of hate for this though.

Summary : you make plans to go out but your possessive older brother just doesn’t want to let you go. Who allowed you to dress like that, without him?

there’s nothing quite like the feeling than when your overprotective delinquent brother holding onto you to prevent you from leaving, much to your dismay.

“I already said no.”

“I’m sorry, do you control my life?”

Baji rolls his eyes at your response question and stands up when you get closer to the door. “Sit your ass down, [Name]. You ain’t goin’ anywhere dressed like that.”

You glance down at your attire, furrowing your brows at his words. You weren’t dressed strange, in your opinion. Thigh-length skirt with thigh high socks, and white off the shoulder sweater, you thought you looked cute.

“What are you talking about?— this is cute. You act like I’m going to do some pervy shit, I’m just hanging out with Chifuyu!”

“Tch.” Baji scowls and is quick to grasp your wrist, yanking you towards him which causes you to stumble and fall into his chest.

The fanged boy uses this opportunity to wrap his arm around your waist and peer down at you, eyes narrowing, his other hand holding your wrist tightly.

“You’re dressed like a slut, that’s what I’m talking about.” He hisses, eyes glinting dangerously when he’s able to see your cleavage at the angle he had.

Your jaw drops at his words, eyes widening as a little yelp escape your lips when his hand makes contact with your ass. “Kei-!”

“Hanging out with Chifuyu in skimpy clothing? What did you plan to do, seduce him?” Baji sneers as he gropes at your ass cheek, while you squirm in his touch, trying to pull away. “Keisuke! Quit it!”

“Nah, I’m good.” Baji smirks as he moves and spins around, pushing onto the couch nearby. The impact makes your short skirt fly up to reveal your black laced panties, which causes your dear brother to lick his lips.

“You know what? You were right, you do look kinda cute.” He chuckles lowly as he crawls over you, while you try to fix your skirt frantically. “Kei, seriously, stop—!”

“Did you decide to dress like this for me?” He questions, tilting his head as one hand grabs your wrist and pulls your hand away from skirt, letting his right knee lock in between your legs so you couldn’t close them.

“You knew I’d stop you, so you dressed like this on purpose. Wanted to let your caring, protective big brother see your slutty outfit, right?”

“N-No, I swear, Keisuke, please get off of me, I-“ your pleas falls on deaf ears as Baji leans down and licks your neck slowly.

You wince and shut your eyes, feeling Baji’s free hand run up your stomach before reaching your chest and pulling down your sweater to reveal that you were braless, much to your embarrassment.

He whistles quietly at the reveal and watch them bounce lightly after pulling the sweater down,

“Keisuke, this is wrong! Get off of me already!” You cry out, feeling the red flush spreading on your cheeks at the thought of your older brother seeing you in such a state.

What you hated more, was that you could feel the arousal growing in you, at his touches.

Baji continues to ignore you, flicking one of your buds and watching it perk, hardening quickly much to his amusement.

“How dirty, your nipples are getting hard, lil’ sis.” He laughs a bit as he twists them between his fingers.

“K-Kei..” you trail off, feeling the tears brimming the corner of your eyes at the unbearable feeling within you. The wetness growing in your lower region as you try to close your thighs together, hitting Baji’s knee in the process.

“What’s wrong? It’s not the first time I’ve seen you naked.” Baji points out with a scoff, making you cry out in disbelief. “Keisuke, that’s not the point!”

“And? You wanted this, didn’t you?” Baji smirks lightly, knowing he was right. “Just look at you. A mess, wanting a good cock in you, so needy.”

He was right. You were turned on by this. No matter how embarrassing it was, but now, you didn’t care anymore.

Baji nearly coos at the sight of your teary eyes, seeing your shifting legs that ached for friction so much, you unconsciously were grinding against his knee.

“You really are cute, [Name]. So pretty~” he caresses your face gently and glancing down, you can see his growing erection in his sweats. “So desperate for your big brother’s cock, am I right?”

Suddenly feeling shy, you avert your eyes and look to the side, shutting them to avoid his and disregard the heavy blush coating your cheeks.

“Answer me, baby sis, I don’t want to hafta punish you.” Baji clicks his tongue and cups your chin, turning it to force you to face him. He leans close ans steals a quick kiss to your lips, inches away as he waits for an answer.

His body is down low enough that you can feel the outline of his cock against your thighs, causing you to light rub against it.

“I.. want....” You mumble out quietly, making Baji tsk once more.

“Tell me, or I’ll take a picture of you and send it to Chifuyu right now, and show you the little slut you are, and the reason why you’ll be cancelling plans with him.” Baji threatens, gesturing to his phone on the table next to you both.

You gulp and shut your eyes tightly, swallowing your pride and slowly open your legs spread wide for him. “I want you, Keisuke..”

Satisfied, Baji traps your lips into another sweet, lustful kiss while his eyes flash dangerously into you.

“Of course, how can I refuse when my baby sister needs me, and dressed so slutty for me?”

uh idk whatcha think? It’s my first try lol but if it’s horrible than you know why I don’t write it a lot ! :3

I can’t write baji??

[olderthannetfic]

hi again. im the anon that spewed the long rant about how, historically, censoring the "bad stuff" leads to queer stuff in general getting banned. had the words "most fandom elders and newbies alike think it's reprehensible!" in there

i feel bad for explaining it the way i did. i'm a firm believer in "fiction is fiction (including RPF) no matter what" which is an opinion that would get me run out of what is probably 99% of fandom spaces i'm in. i recently just unfollowed a mutual bcuz they wouldn't stop posting cringy "lol old people in fandom are weird" and making fun of those concerned about ao3 getting purged. to say i was high-strung and tired would be putting it lightly. i don't want people to think that they can't be squicked by whatever makes them uncomfy as long as they aren't harassing ppl and properly filtering their own internet experience, because i've been running into folks that go out of their way to rag on people who don't like "problematic content" for some reason (they're def not the majority and don't cause anywhere near the same amount of harm as antis, but they exist and confuse the hell out of me), hence the word "reprehensible," but i realize that was a bad way to do it

i've always wanted to make more friends that like dark stuff, even if i don't focus on it myself. those kinds of authors are always the most chill ones in a fandom, but unfortunately, i worry that since i like stereotypical found family fluff n shit they'll think i'm one of the shitbag antis that wants to call the cops on them for harmless fiction. thanks for ruining that, you puriteens

besides, the ppl that claim to hate and despise taboo fictional stuff sure love to talk about said stuff way more than the actual fans of it for some reason >_> gives me projection vibes

so, sorry to anyone i offended or hurt by wording it like that, esp leaving it vague when so many idiots are actively watering down serious terms to one up ppl in their ship wars :P you guys aren't doing anything wrong, and i support your right to artistic freedom as people always should. my crappy wording is why i tend to avoid commenting on discourse altogether bcuz my emotions get the best of me, and then it's not fun for anyone (not to mention all the grammar mistakes i missed, yeesh). you guys are awesome, and i appreciate the lengths you go to keep ao3 safe

(oi, i type way too much for my own good)

--

Eh. I think it can be hard to find a space that isn't darkfic focused that has a strong dl;dr, sals, and ykinmkato stance. But people? I promise there are plenty of people who like badwrong content who also like found family and won't instantly assume you're awful.

It might be easier to find people in some very oldschool fandoms, but finding your people is always hard.

[apoapsis]

highkey i always wonder why i come back to this rpc/fandom so much but then you guys are so welcoming/friendly/supportive and low maintenance in terms of interactions (i’ve been in fandoms where ppl deadass unfollow after like a week/month of inactivity) and it’s really just so sweet to always have this rpc to always fall back on and interact with on a day-to-day basis with very little actual stress.

this isn’t even just about the rp blogs, cause i do have a handful of personal blogs that follow me for my art pieces on occasion and i just want everybody to know that whether you’re a content creator or a content consumer, you’re all equally responsible for making this community such an incredibly interactive one to be involved in, and every time anybody interacts with even just 1 of my posts it really does mean the world to me. even just dropping 1 like or comment on my art or writing is so significant to me and i totally would not have stuck around this community for the last six years if everyone involved hadn’t gone to such great lengths to appreciate the individual fan-artists, fic/rp writers, animators, etc. that put so much love into their work!

so if you happen to read this, i’m talking about you! this is about you. :)

[chickenparm]

can i humbly request that u and ur buddies tag stuff with some uhhh nudity such as that.... lovely heimdingy art 😍😳🫣 and other nsfw stuff more frequently for ppl practicing ramadan?👉👈🥺 i would hate to unfollow for 30 days just to avoid that content specifically babes 😔😔😔

Hey Anon!

I think in the interest of keeping to your beliefs, it might be best for you to unfollow for the length of Ramadan. I don't mean that in disrespect - I simply mean that my entire blog is NSFW and I would hate for something to slip through the cracks and cause problems with your fasting.

Even without my fics or the borderline adult things I reblog, I frequently talk about sexual acts, describe things, or make comments that could put you at risk. Also, I'm fairly certain that tagging something as NSFW hides it from other tags and reduces its visibility. It is safe to assume that every post I make here can be considered NSFW and would risk breaking your fast.

I don't want to see you go, and I'll attempt to at least tag the more egregious posts beyond my fics as "mdni" (sexual fics will always be tagged with this), but it may be in your best interests to avert your eyes for the duration of Ramadan.

[artfulprankster]

💚✨ Hello! This is an Indie, Semi-Selective and Crossover friendly Harold Hutchins from the amazingly silly book series Captain Underpants by the absolutely amazing Dav Pilkey! I do not own The series Captain Underpants nor Harold Hutchins. 💚✨

This blog is a sideblog, all likes, follows and interactions will come from @/Scribsmcgee. This blog is also mobile bound, but I will cut my posts and write multiple paragraphs and will do my best to fulfill any standards for your rules regarding length of posts.

I am a Semi-Selective blog, which means I might be a little picky on who I rp with. This also goes into unfollowing. If I unfollow you, I just can’t see our muses working out anymore or our writing working out. This isn’t a personal thing either! I’m sure you are a wonderful individual and I wish you the best in life.

This also means I have the right to unfollow you or follow you if I wish. Do not pull me into drama because of this because this is a hobby. I write to have fun and I don’t ever write to cause any harm. If I unfollow you, I’d appreciate it being reciprocated.

This blog will contain some Canon Divergent aspects such as headcanons on Piqua, Harold, Billy and a few world building headcanons. It will not affect a majority of main canon for the series and this blog is based on the Show version of Harold, Aka The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants Harold with book canon sprinkled in. It is recommended you watch the first season of the show to get a good feel of the series and character but it is not mandatory.

Harold has some knowledge of the fourth wall and will mention it in threads or asks if felt like it fits. He cannot use the fourth wall to his advantage and it’s mainly there for comedic intent.

Crossovers are 100% welcome! I encourage the wackiest and craziest crossovers!!! More wacky the better!! Please send them Harold’s way, I would absolutely love to push this dolphin loving rascal their way and watch the chaos happen! He’s always ready to prank and meeting new people means new prank ideas!! I might need a little guidance on muses I am not familiar with though, so please forgive me for being a little confused!

❌ Please don’t spam like my page! It floods my notifications and makes it hard for me to find threads I need to reply to! Your support is appreciated nonetheless! ❌

And with that, let’s get on with the show!

This blog is 18+, the show and books are for children yes, but the books and show can at times get dark and I will not shy away from horror elements and blood and violence in this blog. I will also be delving into topics of abandonment, divorce, bullying, misunderstanding of ADHD(Mun is diagnosed) by adult characters, mind control, injuries and blood, horror themes and other story and plot relevant things that can be considered scary. I will not delve into gore or extreme violence however, just blood and small Injuries.

You have been warned.

Again, please don’t follow me if you are a minor (under 18) or cannot handle the topics spoken of above.

I will tag any and all reference of blood, violence, Vomit and anything gross (Cmon this is Captain underpants) with the tag media.warning and then the trigger. If there is anything specific you want tagged please let me know via inbox or DMS.

Examples:

media.warning.blood.

media.warning.vomit.

This blog will not hesitate to delve into the more traumatic side of being a sidekick and being in constant danger a lot of the week. Harold has seen some shit and has canonically almost died multiple times guys. Hes gonna be a little fucked up actually.

This being said, this blog will NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES write any form of problematic content. NONE. If you even try to bring it into my blog I will block you, even if we are long time mutuals or short time mutuals. No questions and no hesitation. This blog will also not write any fetish content. Seriously, don’t bring that shit on my blog or in my asks I mean it.

This blog will not write NSFW or shipping. 1. I am ace and I find the topic and things relating to it uncomfortable. 2. HAROLD IS A BABY, A CHILD. He is my son and I will not tolerate weird asks or prompts or anything of him, George, Billy or any of the kid characters. Don’t even try it.

Only Billy is an exception to the shipping case as he is canonically Harold’s future husband.

Please, respect this boundary. Do not force shipping or NSFW on me I will block you for that.

Also saying this, I do not ship George and Harold. Do not force George and Harold shipping questions onto me. I also don’t ship Harold and Melvin or George and Melvin, again do not force those ships on me I will block you.

Please do not Godmod my muse! I will allow setting up Harold’s place and marker in starters for threads of ours but that’s it. Likewise I will not godmod your muse and if I need to place them somewhere for a reply or starter I will always ask for permission before doing so. You always have the option to tell me no, your boundaries are important to me.

I’ll also say this here aswell. DO NOT GUILT TRIP ME OR MANIPULATE ME INTO REPLYING or FOLLOWING YOU BACK. I will not have that on my blog, I am here to write Harold and that’s it. Do not pull that shit with me I will block you so fast.

For callout and cancel culture I’m a bit of a middleman. I don’t particularly like it due to its problematic history itself but I fully believe warning people about problematic and dangerous people in the RPC is a good thing! But there are often times alot of claims are bullshit and just make things messy for no reason other than petty disputes. I will 100% believe any accusations on anyone I interact with if there is proof of their shitty behavior or disgusting acts. I try to see things as innocent until 100% proven guilty and if anyone I interact with have such a history with disgusting things PLEASE LET ME KNOW WITH PROOF I AM VERY STUPID!

If you wish to warn me about a dangerous individual please don’t send me an anon all ‘hey so and so is bad’ and not give me any proof or what exactly makes them bad because I’ve had that happen before and it just makes you look silly friend. Again, Please provide proof for me.

I AM NOT A FANDOM BLOG! I am a RP blog! People tend to get it confused so let me clear the air for you. I reblog stuff for this blog but I am not a personal blog so please don’t spam like my posts. I will most likely block you for that if you continue to do so.

Personals are allowed to follow and leave inbox messages if they don’t have rp blogs. However, They cannot like or reblog rp threads/ starter calls or inbox calls. This makes it very confusing for both me and the other Mun so please respect that boundary.

Personals attached to rp blogs are free to like starter calls and inbox calls! Just make sure your blog is visible in your description or let me know via inbox!

Most of my information for my Bio page comes from the amazing writers and the amazing Fandom Hero page! Please show them some support!

If I use your art or content in my blog (always with credit) and you’d like me to delete it let me know! I’ll happily do so!

If any of the art I use for icons comes from a problematic source and I don’t know, please let me know via inbox or dms! I mainly get my icons from animatics and official media.

And that’s it! If you’ve made it this far, thank you! I really appreciate you reading through and making it here! This is not mandatory but it shows you’ve read my rules and I appreciate a ‘So George and Harold make comic books…!’ In my inbox!

Hello there! I’m the Mun! Scribs! It’s nice to meet you all! Thank you for showing interest in my little blog and my son Harold! I grew up with The book series and ever since then I can’t seem to shake these two gremlins out of my head LOL. This series means a lot to me and Harold has been a comfort character of mine ever since I was 5-7 years old. He was one of the main inspirations for me to become an artist and seeing how the series has developed over the years makes me incredibly happy.

I look forward to interacting with you! Have a good day!

[casual-eumetazoa]

idk whether anyone even reads my posts or pays attention to this blog anymore cause at this point i’ve kinda lost interest in like, curating the content or making my original posts or being particularly active on social media in general. i’ve stopped using the tags ages ago, i set up the queue for a few days ahead when i remember and that’s pretty much it. and i still vibe the most with tumblr cause that’s the place where i feel like i can post whatever and not worry about it

so. i might just embrace the chaos and start posting whenever and whatever, which includes Doctor Who and other fandoms, but like, this is not really a Doctor Who blog anymore. it’s just my personal page and yeah that includes DW cause it’s my special interest but it’s only one part of a mix. and if that’s cool with you - great, but if it’s not, absolutely feel free to unfollow like, i won’t be upset i promise

i also might start posting more life updates about my writing, YouTube channel, grad school, and other stuff. i don’t really write fanfic anymore (two potential exceptions for this are both huge novel-length projects that i won’t start anytime soon if ever) but i might post snippets of my original writing, including essays, WIP novels, and poetry 

and that’s my spontaneous update for today. wishing everyone the best !

[infinitecrime]

Is it just me, or have the boundaries between celebrities and fans been rapidly and dangerous eroding during lockdown? Is it that everyone is bored and has too much time on their hands? Or has it always been like this, and I just wasn’t paying attention?

It used to be that over analysing pictures, feeling entitled to someone’s relationship status or personal life, and tracking down someone’s physical location was restricted to the darkest parts of fandom. We would call these people stalkers, we would condemn them and their actions, we would encourage others not to engage with them or look at their content, and we would try to maintain the celeb/fan (i.e. stranger/stranger) boundaries as best we could.

But this invasive behaviour has become so normalised in a few months that it’s now almost expected, not just accepted. The average fan with think nothing of zooming into a picture of someone’s living room and analysing what they can see in the reflections of glass objects. Your run of the mill twitter stan will compare a wall to hotel suites across the country to find the exact room and location a celebrity is staying in. A casual follower of a celeb with now follow all the celeb’s family, friends, and even their friend’s family and friends, and religiously watch their stories for a mere glimpse of their fave. It’s totally normal to log every follow, unfollow and like a celeb does on social media and create a narrative or conspiracy theory to explain each one. Identifying the books on someone’s shelf from the few visible letters and speculating on what trauma may have caused them to need that self-help book is now perfectly fine. It has been completely normalised to message people associated with a celeb to interrogate them for information - and not just friends, but anyone who might have run into them; fans, restaurant staff, photographers, real estate agents, anyone who might have been within 6ft of them. 

There is now genuine, fandom-wide anxiety when we don’t know where our faves are in the world, why they are there, who they are with, and what they are doing, because fandom as a whole feels entitled to this information, and will go to any lengths to acquire it. 

What used to be widely considered dangerous, scary, and stalking is now the base level of fandom, and it seems to be getting worse. There seems to be an ever decreasingly understanding that these people are total. strangers. to. us. We should not know information that they don’t directly and willingly share with us. We shouldn’t know their relationship status if they haven’t discussed it publicly. We shouldn’t know their location if they haven’t shared it. We shouldn’t know their family and friends names and movements when they are not public figures. We’re not entitled to it, and they don’t owe us it. Buying an album or a move ticket does not make you a shareholder in their lives. Feeling entitled to know these things and demanding explanations of them is overstepping boundaries. Going to extreme lengths to learn these things is unhealthy. If this was being done to you you would feel violated, paranoid, and scared. 

This is not fandom. This is not fun. We should be pushing back against it, not tolerating it or encouraging it just because it’s ‘content’ and it makes us feel connected to who we stan. If we continue allowing these tactics to be normalised, it can only get worse from here.

SHIPPING / NSFW

• I love shipping so please don't be afraid to approach me to plot and see if they'd work out. I would like to plot chemestry, however, jumping into a ship isn't impossible.

• While i'm open to shopping, I wont be doing any revhound. I don't mind those shipping the two, but I won't be taking part in interaction with it due to my own heavy discomfort with the ship. For some reason it triggers a trauma response of an old relationship of mine and I'd like to keep away from that as much as possible. It causes me to go into big panic mode and I just don't have a good time. You guys can definitely ship and reblog it and everything, that's totally okay, I have the tag blocked, it's just I won't be interacting with it with my muse. I wish it didn't do this to me, but it does. I'm trying over over come it, however ! I don't mind them being friends !! Just not romanticlly involved
