'thats not his role in the story!' hm i wonder what the point of it is then. hm i wonder what the dead pixel scene means. hm i wonder what wrong organ are trying to say with the context of 'awesome male friendship' and 'corporate hell where the only woman onboard is constantly under ridicule, abused or forcibly forgotten yet is the catalyst' if not this. hm i wonder how curly's physical agony being a direct parallel to anya's mental agony, stripped of voice, agency, just like her, and being forced to watch what happens while not doing jack shit, just like he used to, plays a part in this. i wonder what the moral of him being the final girl says about living with the consequences of your inaction, because of sentimentality, because of status, career and social. hm i wonder whatever the fuck this game was trying to say. hm i wonder what else is on this person's blog Oh Lord there's yaoi penice.

okay, but real talk, y'all... who's gonna invite barton over to do masks and gossip with them? because i know he's VERY morally atrocious, but i just know that he likes to take care of himself and would also be a fan of learning new blackmail material about people at the same time, so i promise he won't try to pull anything at a hangout like this JSJSJ he'll be enjoying himself too much to do evil after all LMAOOO
#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#ooc post.#i can just imagine it now... barton fixing whoever the other muse in question may be's mask because they ' missed a spot ' like dude#it's not that serious BUT he also wouldn't do it maliciously so it's honestly kind of funny NGL LOLLL he'd just do it-#because they're buddies now y'know π JSJSJ and then he'd start talking about how terrible of a kisser this guy he went on a date with-#was or something likeee do you really have to do 'em like that ( the answer is yes he has to do them like that ) and gradually just descent#into talking about the more ' juicy ' gossip with this muse by telling them about how much of a uppity jerk he thinks scarecrow is or-#something but while using a fake name for him like idk ROBERT and... i'm not even sure where it'd go from there but now even i am-#in interested in the story xDD so yeah. if your muse is even a littleee bit interested-#in being friends with barton y'all should totally do a scenario like this with me π no pressure though!! only if you want to

thinking about how my dad graduated high school in 1984 and went to college in boston, and he used to stay up late to snag free tickets on the college radio station to basement shows with like. the cars and fuckin. john gorka and shit. and how he used to hang out at coffee shops and bars and listen to tracy chapman play right before she made it big.
thinking about steve and eddie visiting nancy at emerson and catching a coffee shop open mic. thinking about how fast car would probably hit them both like a truck, for similar and also different reasons.
just thinking.
#my dadβs music tastes are. letβs call them eclectic#lots of folk lots of dad rock but also throw some punk and early grunge in there#and some broadway soundtracks for good measure#i grew up on tracy chapman and the indigo girls and steely dan and the pixies and the talking heads#and something about him being the same age as steve and eddie makes all my steddie musings feel v personal#like whatever dumb 80s teen shit i imagine my blorbos doing is also stuff my actual father was literally doing#i should ask him questions for fic research lmao#anyway. steddie. fast car. it would be a thing#failed love abandoned dreams never getting out of your small town ending up like your parents#you canβt tell me that wouldnβt fuck them both up to high heaven#iβm right you know iβm right

a song that i associate with my muse meme!
AHH, hey, ramone!! thank you for sending in this prompt :D since you sent in three of the mic's, i shall now be treating you to three songs that make me think of blamore when i hear them / that i associate with it. an explanation of why i chose them will be in the tags <3
hozier - who we are.
youtube
icehouse - crazy.
youtube
depeche mode - personal jesus.
youtube
#IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING BUT IT FELT LIKE THE WORLD: musings.#asks - answered.#ooc post.#okay but ESPECIALLY heavy on the last one because it literally all about the idea of someone that people can turn to in hard times-#like a god or a prophet who will listen to your plights and help you + who you should believe in. and i say this because one major theme-#to blamore's character is the concept of being a false prophet and someone who essentially unfortunately takes advantage of people's-#longing for things to get better in gotham. bc i feel like a lot of people there have either been failed by the system by other's or-#possibly both and this is so that blamore can get people to voluntarily want to consume the 'seeds' it distributes in order to uhh...#well purge gotham of its undesirables basically as terrible as that sounds. but yeah that depeche mode song? it's such a good one for-#him and definitely has helped me before to write things related to him since blamore does sometimes believe in its own hubris.#but as for the second one by icehouse that one i associate with it because although it doesn't exactly consider itself to fully identify-#with the label of being a 'man' i feel as if blamore will still talk about itself that way sometimes. its relationship with its gender-#is honestly a little bit complicated NGL because him using it/its pronouns as well is something blamore adopted recently even-#though he'd always sort of felt like disconnected and/or like it didn't really align with how he saw himself completely. BUT yeahhh#i honestly could start a whole discussion about that but i shall do that another time perhaps ahah. anyhow though besides that-#elephant in the room ever since it has transformed into this half-human half-plant monster being... although it does love any partners-#it has very much (trust me) i feel like it does wonder why they chose to be with him more often than he'd like to admit.#so that's where the whole 'crazy' part comes in and as for the hozier song that song is about how you kind of have to carve through-#this 'darkness' to rediscover ourselves and who we want to be as a result of going through a rough time or just something tough in-#general and that is SO freaking fitting in my opinion for blamore because it definitely had to completely reframe the way it thought-#about itself when it transformed. and he also had to figure out what he believed in / what his values were now which can be suchhh-#a messy process TBH but this isn't the first time that blamore's had to rediscover itself as life is honestly kind of this ongoing-#process of losing yourself and trying to find yourself again you know? but yeah. i hope you enjoyed my explanation here tehe <3#and also that you enjoy the tunes!!

(SEMI) CHARMED KIND OF LIFE: EPISODE 2, PART I. βTHE HARDEST PART IS SAYING SORRY (WITH YOUR DIGNITY INTACT)β
Transcript Below.
[July 9, 2023. Cut to the interior where Damien and his closest friend and roommate Akira are inside, working out β Damien practicing boxing, Akira on one of the treadmills nearby.]Β
AKIRA: β So reverse-stalk her work schedule and show up when you know sheβs not gonna be there, dude. Switching up our spot, that we went to before you even met her, is bullshit. Coming all the way out to Moony Loony territory when we could have just literally walked a block to a really nice place that doubles as MILF Heaven is also bullshit. β Look around, Charm, there are zero luxurious cougars doing yoga, itβs a hairy dude sausage party in here and it blows.
DAMIEN: What is your fucked up obsession with yoga moms? [He wrinkles his nose in mock disgust, perking a questionable and curious brow.] Do you need to talk about it? Not with me, I donβt wanna hear that shit, but like, with a professional?
AKIRA: I read in one of those women studies books Grace left laying around one time that they hit their peak in their forties, plus, from personal experience, they either have to keep it casual βcause theyβre already married or theyβve been-there-done-that with the whole commitment thing so itβs all just for fun, you know? None of them take me seriously, I donβt have to take any of them seriously, itβs the ideal situationship if you know how to game the system.
DAMIEN: I shoulda brought Gracie, you are the last person someone should ask relationship advice from. AKIRA: Iβm the best person, what the fuck?

My hot Drakengard take of the day is that after playing it for like 110 hours and counting im very much convinced that ppl who still complain about the gameplay being a "slog" just aren't playing the game correctly. you can hate me for this but you will not change my mind
#gu6chan's musings#drakengard#this isn't to say that it's not FLAWED (looking at you arbalesters...)#but i will say: three allies; seven types of weapons; SIXTY-FIVE WEAPONS IN TOTAL; ALL WITH DIFFERENT WEIGHTS; MAGIC; AFFECTS; ETC#now going back to flaws i will say its perfectly normal and not ridiculously hard to just beat the game without allies/using Caim's Sword#HOWEVER#i see way too many people complaining about this and that enemy being 'frustrating' when it rlly boils down to:#1. use a quicker weapon; or one with a longer range#2. THERE ARE BLOCK AND DODGE BUTTONS?????#the last part in particular x100000000 when you learn to actually block or dodge instead of letting yourself fall on your ass like a silly#little fool and then complain about bad game design the game itself becomes infinitely more playable#ill even argue that drakengards biggest flaw isn't even it's REPETITION (as a matter of fact; that's a strength) so much as the fact it#doesn't encourage/push players to explore and experiment with different weapons and features so much#anyways my advice: long-ranged (preferably fast for the latter!!) weapons for enemies like mages and arbalesters#lightweight weapons for quicker enemies like goblins so you can actually land a hit on them#and for god's sake; the dodge/block button exists for your benefit. use it#ALSO hitting enemies while jumping causes them to fall over and allows you a chance to crack a bit more at them if you have a weaker weapon#works REALLY good with quicker ones too!!!!!#oh AND there's a variation of the dash attack where when you speed up you can do a jump attack for extra points of damage PLUS get them to#fall over like mentioned prior. you can do it with your allies too and its a lot of fun#SPEAKING of allies don't forget them!! ever!!!! (heheh) ESPECIALLY not during later chapters they are there to help!!! let them!!!#uhhhh that should be it... maybe ill make a separate post with these tips but Drakengard is a fun game!! you just have to resist hypnosis!!#(and bad press)

i hate when media implies that there's a supernatural subplot but it turns out that they were just using it as a metaphor. Like it doesn't have to be either or, the werewolf can be there and also be a metaphor.
(it's mostly because i will 100% consume something if it's basically a creature feature but will feel bamboozled if the promised creature was metaphorical lol )
#monsters#creature feature#media#werewolf#feeling this way about dragon age solas lately#like gonna be a bit disappointed if he doesn't turn into a giant multieyed wolf monster at one point#how cool would that reveal be?#ancient god also werewolf#kinda feel like they're not going to tho but have sliver of hope?#but i do get mad at metaphorical movie titles like if you name your movie moonlight it should be about werewolves#also there should be keening ghost monsters in the banshees of inisherin#it doesn't help that there IS a vampire show called moonlight too#text posts#i recognize i am being a bit difficult about this i just think most movies would be better with actual monsters in XD#q#random musings

A kiss that says thank you / for Zelestia from FX Alear.
When her mother passed away in the fight against Sombron, the mage dragon became her greatest support. During the time of settling down to the role now hers and mourning the loss in the privacy of her heart, there were many people that relied on her Divine guidance and she couldn't let them down due her own feelings.
But Zelestia had always been there, its kindness being one similar to a mother's without being one when she no longer had one. Its loyalty towards her appreciated more than she perhaps let on despite showing her affection towards everyone she loved with all her heart.
It deserved to be told thank you, to be shown that gratefulness and today the Divine Dragon had decided it was the perfect day. With a purple windflower in hand and a smile on her face Alear approached it with warmth in her eyes. "Zelestia i got you a gift." She announced placing the flower in its hair.
The flower created a beautiful contrast with the yellow ribbons of its horns, she was glad to see this suited it nicely. That wasn't the only show of affection she had in mind, getting on her tiptoes the dragon places a gentle kiss on the others kiss and then moved away slowly.
"Thank you for being at my side." The Divine One spoke, the warmth of her blue eyes focusing on the floor below them before going back to the Mage dragon. "Since my mother and i welcomed you to Lythos you have been part of my family in both our eyes, but since she passed away you have been there as a pilar when i was still growing used to this role." The calmness she attempted to show to everyone slipped away. "If it weren't for you i'm unsure if i would have been able to stay strong all by myself."
Gloved hands found warmth in bare ones. "You deserve more than my thanks, i'm so grateful to have family like you, more than you can imagine."
ANOTHER KISS PROMPT γ» accepting! ( cw implied (?) engage spoilers )
HOW FRAGILE THE TURN OF TIME WAS, thought the sole mage dragon, stagnant in the absence of little else to tend or aid. hence, it aimlessly walked, peeking into storefronts and approaching humans as they went about their day, hoping to give its support wherever it could. after all, there was less else to do. gregory was off on a mission and, with him, took a good portion of its daily tasks. madeline would not be here at this hour, else it would have seen her already. and mauvierβββ
its ear twitched, prompting zelestia to turn at the sound of footsteps. of course, finally, someone needed its help! no more needless resting here or there orΒ anywhere it could avoid.
"oh! alearβββ" bright eyes blinked, mouth agape and hand frozen where it had once been raised in greeting. still, zelestia had not moved when alear tucked the windflower's stem between its pale tresses; simply watching it from its reflection in her eyes.
mage dragon smiled sweetly, laughing as it ran its fingers through its hair, careful not to jostle the placement of the flower. "thank you, divine one. i mean this wholly! you needn't bother with obtaining the flower, but still, i'll wear it proudly. hm, maybe we can find a two-toned flower forβββ"
the divine's lips pressed against its cheek.
"βββyou... for me...?"
swiftly, its hand rose to the cup the skin alear had kissed. but, in its shock, she seemed to have a goal to-day; whether it be to weaken the mage dragon with tenderness or blur its eyes with confused tears. zelestia had not spoken, not between alear's pauses, not after alear showed the fruits of its aid, and not after her hands carefully took its' own to hold.
a gift and burden, its memory had not failed them. it knew of the time she was centering her gratitude around; the ache of all it had lost still tugged its heart into an uneven pace whenever it slept. though it had learned and loved and grew, there would always be an empty space where its family's roots should have blossomed; whether into a garden or grove, to bear fruits or flowers, the stones laid to rest would halt any touch of nature.
and yet, here zelestia stood, in the hands of another dragon that saw it as the family she, too, had been through a storm withβββbeen through a storm for. the clenching of its heart was sudden, paired in time with the soft, confused noise falling from its quivering lips.
"i... divine one.... alear, you...." when its eyes began to water, mage dragon flinched to pull away, as if to wipe the sorrow with its hand. but, instead, smiling, it uttered a breathless laugh and bowed its head, bringing her hands up to rest against its cheek.
another laugh, brighter than the last, toeing the lines of falling apart. "please! i owe all that i have become to you and your mother. we are stronger together, as once said to me. and we've come a long way." its shoulders trembled. "thank you. thank you, alear. i am here because you allow it. and for as long as you keep me, i'll be your family and knight. forever and always! i promise."
and, unsurprisingly, once the vow left zelestia, it embraced alear as one would its own kin, giggling through the tears when its crescent horn nudged the side of her head.

okay, so from what i've gathered, just for those who uhh. might be curious about what barton's type is for no reason in particular (yeah, it's for shipping purposes JSJSJ ) β he is probably simultaneously the least picky person whenever it comes to who he's willing to date out of all my oc's and i honestly find that kind of ironic, because of the fact that he's literally a SERIAL KILLER but... anyways, like i was saying (,: barton does seem to have a certain penchant for liking people / beings who are literally different in any way? and i mean different in a good way, OFC. oh, and he also seems to have a thing for redheads as well as blondes, but i'm going to be talking about the first thing for today π
this could also range from being just like different as in having an 'unusual' appearance / having mutant abilities or being able to practice magic. and, of course, being something a little bit more... significant, i guess you could say. because he would get with a supernatural being and fawn over them in a way that would make you think 'well, maybe they've known each other for a while, so that's why he's acting like he's completely whipped for them?' but nope. in reality, barton just sometimes seems to take one look at a being β who, for example, might be an eldritch horror creature or something β and thinks ' damn. i am in between wanting to study them in a clinical setting and wanting to study this species's courting rituals because i am trying to WIFE them up ' SKSKSK LMAO
nooo, but if any of my moots on here were to want to ship with me if you aren't already, but are nervous about asking me about me whether i'd be interested in doing so because they're like a supernatural creature or something... then please don't be afraid to HMU because barton is literally the most shameless monster hand-holder + monster kisser if i'm being honest
#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#ooc post.#not me saying barton isn't picky when he literally acts like he hates everyone at least half the time JSJSJ#no but it might not seem like it but literally you could just say one sentence to him (ps: it's 'i like your mask') and he'll be ready to-#propose like SKSKS and as i've talked about before he is constantly seeking out stimulation which includes like... doing thing's-#like having random ONS with people i'm not gonna lie which isn't harmful on it's own OFC but the reasons why barton does them can uhh.#definitely be unhealthy and/or even a form of self-harm as he sometimes uses it as a way to like have a distraction from his problems-#or to feel loved for a minute even though he will likely never see them again which... the more i think about it is honestly sad π#but if there is one thing that y'all should know about barton is that he unfortunately engages in a lot of self-destructive and/or unhealth#things to cope with what's going on in his head or just in his life in general so... yeah. and barton may also use it as a way to 'feel-#something' which GOD. is even sadder than the last reason but anyhow i just wanted to talk about this because i noticed a bit of a-#pattern whenever it comes to barton and that is that he is a lot less picky whenever it comes to partners than one might think looking on-#the outside ahahhh#tw: self harm#tw: unhealthy coping mechanisms.

I don't have enough time or experienced with enough classes to write a detailed multiclassing guide, but for D&D players, especially new players, wondering if they should multiclass, the simple answer is "probably not". Multiclassing is, in general, bad. The game was not balanced with it in mind, and it's very easy to muck up your character if you don't know what you're doing. I'm not just talking from an optimization perspective, either; it's difficult to justify it narratively in a way that doesn't cheapen the significance of what class levels represent. You don't become a Bard by practicing the lute for a week. You can't become a Wizard without years of study. If you plan to multiclass, my advice would be to find some way of tying it narratively into your primary class somehow; an Eldritch Knight becoming a Wizard is sensible, because they already have an understanding of how to work arcane magic, they just need to spend some time focusing on that over improving their martial abilities to learn enough to start filling out a spellbook. Of course, that still takes a long time, but the Eldritch Knight's previous experiences mean they already know how to cast multiple spells already. If you want to multiclass for story reasons, ask yourself two questions: Is multiclassing really the best way to convey this change in my character, and, if so, do they have the adequate time, experiences, and resources to practice the skills necessary (physical training, study, spiritual attunement, etc.) to even START being that class? The reason I put so much weight into class levels is because the Player's Handbook itself makes a point to clarify what sets a member of each class apart from others who seem similar on the surface; not every soldier in a given army is a Fighter, chances are most of them aren't. And Paladins are even rarer! To achieve even one class level is a strong indication of skill and effort, and I as your DM would expect you to consider how your character achieves levels in a second class. My campaign features a Fighter/Warlock multiclass, and her patron is both the supplier of her occult magic, and her instructor, personally training her in her dreams, so she can level up in either class and it'll make sense. My favorite combination, Paladin/Sorcerer, can be explained by latent powers emerging in response to their experiences and the holy power they channel within themselves, perhaps a gift from their deity or the result of them or their ancestor slaying a creature like a dragon or vampire whose blood imbued the Paladin's bloodline with arcane magic. Maybe a Monk/Cleric comes from a monastery that reveres a specific deity, and that Monk caught their deity's attention, choosing the Monk for a holy mission. If multiclassing is part of your character's backstory or projected future, having a plan for it is key to making them still feel like a cohesive, singular character.
#musings#dungeons and dragons#take my advice with a grain of salt since not all groups will put the same weight into class levels as i do#but the reason most wizards are depicted as elderly is because wizardry is extremely difficult and takes a long time to master#class levels being rare or hard to achieve is kind of necessary from a worldbuilding perspective#if becoming a wizard was possible after what amounts to a college course there'd be wizards everywhere#and the players wouldn't be as important because their own abilities wouldn't be anything special for a long time#i didn't talk about optimization very much since i think most d&d players don't care about that as much as roleplay and thematics#but if you're questioning if multiclassing would be good for you#look at the benefits you'd get from even one level of another class and ask if that's worth setting your main class back permanently#even one bad multiclass level can become a problem with initiative is rolled and you're functionally one level lower than you should be#it's also why timing when to multiclass is important!#it's tempting to multiclass as soon as you hit level 2 but unless you're starting as your secondary class you should really wait#until you're at least level 5 or so because that's a big power spike#and once you achieve that it doesn't hurt as much to delay levels in your main class in favor of another#that's variation in this of course#if you're a paladin who plans to take just one level of hexblade you really should do it at level 2 if you dumped strength#you don't want to be relying on 13 strength for weapon attacks any longer than you have to#and if you're only interested in the thematic elements of a class remember that flavor is free!#plus you can use things like your background to give you a feel akin to a different class#a warlock entertainer who makes a deal with the devil to save their music career is a cool way to get bard flavor without multiclassing#especially since if you manage to become a true bard you probably don't need the devil's help anyway

WHICH RAGE LANGUAGE ARE YOU?
open the floodgates.
your frustration turns into tears quickly. the strength of your fury is so potent that it sets off the waterworks out of pure rage. you hate it, because whoever's pissed you off thinks it's funny, like you're not tough and you can't defend yourself. you can, you just need to get through the haze of emotions first.

Listen, I do have a bias and itβs wrong of me because I really should be gender equal and it should be all about the writing but
I do favor female muses if I gotta pick and I just canβt deny that, Iβm sorry.
#out of shirt#listen not that I do not love the dude characters I write with#if Iβm writing with you I enjoy your muse some of of my FAVE partners are guy muses#but if Iβm being honest#in general#I have a female bias#I feel like this isnβt a shock to anyone though?#also love to enbies and others too but it is ladies first for me in broad strokes#AGAIN THO ITβS DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUAL#AS IT SHOULD BE#but yeah
