#I hope it's worthy..

[fumifooms]

People should talk about Yaad and Thistle more. Weird granduncle that killed your dad in a petty impulsive punitive act, leaving you very scared of him as you live under his control for centuries. Imagine growing up hearing stories of the King’s brother, the kind, clever, collected and calm advisor and right hand man. But only knowing him by how warped he’s become, violent and erratic. He punishes you, too, robbing you of any agency by putting you inside of a doll. And then despite, he becomes catatonic and you’re left to take care of him in his brother’s body while he thinks you’re him. And then you see those slivers of that nice caring person you heard so much about in your childhood a millenium ago, and as he babbles about Delgal thinking he’s you, recalling memories and old habits, you wonder about how things must have used to be, before, and how they’ve changed irreparably. Today is melancholic again.

Yaad being like, Thistle’s sort of great-nephew who’s lived most of his life seeing him as being out of his mind and only a mirage of the noble attentive person he once was, now having to take care of him, someone who was an older familial figure to him… Seeing him gentle, soft and unhurried after all this time spent in an emotional anxious paranoid frenzy... Yaad and Thistle post-canon is so special

#Spoilers #dungeon meshi spoilers #thistle #yaad #Yaad merini #Yaad cares he cares about thistle despite it all sm he stayed by his side at the feast he tried feeding him he hugged him he went along #He let Laios try to help Thistle even if it seemed hopeless.

I've been following you for years, and I love your art. Seeing you repost your older art pieces reminded me how much I loved the angry, bitter, miserable Machete art and how it resonated with me... but a part of me is also so happy to see the current art of him being happy. Cute art of him as a unicorn, or chilling in a bathtub with Vasco. Like, we're all growing and healing :')

#thank you! #he's been angry and bitter and miserable for so long it feels nice to give him an ounce of happiness for a change #some reasons to live besides spite and sense of duty #answered #anonymous #I always saw him as a character who's unsalvageable corrupted and doomed by narrative #and that the only way out of his miserable existence was a well deserved death #it sounds extremely cliche but I genuinely had no idea it would be so cathartic to view him through a lens of like #hope and healing and being worthy of love and saving despite your evident flaws and failings #unplanned redemption arc kapow #Vasco really just sauntered in and flipped the whole situation on it's head #sorry folks he has a boyfriend and gets regular pets and hugs and kisses now

Good news! You aren't required to make your hobbies and passions "marketable." In fact, your crafts, hobbies, and passions don't even need to be public if you so choose. You don't have to spend all of your energy becoming perfect if you aren't enjoying the process. You are not a product, you are a person, a creative, and your work also does not need to be a product.

#positivity #yet another post that's like... thinnly-veiled as being for myself #i find myself freezing with anxiety when i think about the things i used to do (writing especially) because... #...i had felt this force to make it ~content~ and ~marketable to an audience~ and it was so fucking daunting... #...it felt like being a gladiator in a coliseum #even now i fight the urge to equate being marketable to being acceptable and worthy of admiration and praise #i wish i hadn't burnt myself out of writing by doing this because i'm simultaneously grieving my writing and hating it #and it sucks the life out of what makes you feel like a person and it takes the art out of art #so be free! pist your art or don't! you are beholden to nobody!!! #(obviously this is not the case for professional artists who rely on their art to keep them alive) #(and i criticize heavily the idea that audiences are entitled to an artists labour) #(i understand that this isn't universal and if it doesn't apply to you then you don't have to take me seriously) #(if you are a professional artist or what have you i hope you are able to feed and house yourself off of that career!) #(i hope you are able to live a happy life and be able to keep loving what you're doing)

[galedekarios]

Are you the one who made the post about how in the epilogue Gale has lines mentioning he has been learning skills from Tavs class?

no, but i can help you if you're looking for what gale and the protag both say.

this dialogue path only triggers if you chose to leave waterdeep behind and went on to adventure with gale after the game ends:

Gale: I confess, when I left Waterdeep there was a part of me afraid that I might regret my decision. But I never have. Gale: I'm delighted to be here amongst friends again, but part of me is reluctant to step away from our new life - even for such a gathering as this.

Player: You don't have to be here if you don't want to, Gale... Gale: Oh, ignore me - I'm perfectly content. Besides, the chance to step out for a night on your arm is hardly one I'm going to pass up. Tara the Tressym: I'm just glad I'm not the only one encouraging you to leave the library once in a while. It does one good to feel the grass beneath one's paws from time to time. Gale: I don't know where to begin in telling people what we've been up to. I suspect they won't believe me...

the player then has various options to pick from depending on their class, showcasing the skills that gale has been taught by them:

Player: Who knew you'd look so good swinging an axe..., BARBARIAN - Player: You've learned to harmonise wonderfully. Not quite solo material yet, but you're close., BARD - Player: Me neither. You've learned much about my faith, and a far more worthy god than Mystra..., CLERIC - Player: I wouldn't have believed it either. I'd no idea you had such a way with animals..., DRUID - Player: I wouldn't have believed it either. You, taking lessons in magic from me..., WIZARD, WARLOCK, SORCERER - Player: Their belief does not matter. You've studied my oath, learned the truth of its purpose - that's achievement enough., PALADIN - Player: That you've learned a trick or two from me? Steal the gold from their palms and they'll believe you soon enough., ROGUE - Player: Of course they'll believe you. Your arrows fly as true as your spells these days., RANGER - Player: Whether they believe does not matter. Our studies grant you an inner peace no external approval could offer., MONK - Player: They'll believe it the next time we get ourselves into a scrap. You wield a sword as well as half the fighters in Faerûn., FIGHTER - Player: Only Mystra herself need know the truth of your accomplishments. And under my guidance, you've served her well., CLERIC_MYSTRA

i do like gale's little response:

Gale: What can I say? You're an excellent teacher.

it's a sweet callback to his spell teaching / weave scene, where the player can tell him he's an excellent teacher after helping them channel the weave.

i do think this - in addition to the little tidbit you get in lae'zel's origin where it's revealed that gale learns tir'su for her - really highlights how truly and genuinely invested gale is in his partner and their relationship together.

[hotjaneaustenmenpoll]

There needs to be an "Austen adjacent men" bracket. So many hotties in Austenland (and other properties I guess) and no way to rank them.

it may not be a full bracket but your wish is my command - here are some austen-adjacent men to vote on...

hey i love you

life is wild. and like every part is so infinitely complex: all the intricacies of caring for your people, your world, your own vessel and space... there is a Lot required to go through just one day-- then we do it over and over. literally all our time and effort and heart goes into that, in daily increment

there is no quota for our effort. there is no perfect-- only the passage of time. if you think and feel and live, that is enough! if you are here, that is enough!! we are still trying - and i love you for that

#if you are here you are worthy #you make the world a better richer place by being here #you add beauty to the world by seeing it through your eyes #and i hope that the kindness and beauty that is there shines through in a way that you can feel #hope you find a lil somethin good to enjoy every day #ily

[fatphobiabusters]

I think these suggested questions on Google right next to each other show how much fatphobia and diet culture have destroyed society.

I cannot believe there are people who give a fuck about a flat stomach after giving birth through a major surgery like a C-section. Right after reading suggested questions about almost your entire body being numbed, how the doctor moves your fucking organs around to get your child, and having your body literally cut open, I have to see that enough people asked about the possibility of this surgery giving them a flat stomach that Google decided to make this a suggested search.

This is one of those times that I want to scream and shake people to make them finally wake up and LOOK at the state of this fucked up, fatphobic world. If you care about equality, then start giving a damn about fat people and how severely oppressed we are, because no one would be asking shit about flat stomach C-sections if fat people weren't so despised and discriminated against.

Hien & Benichidori compilation

Okay so I put a & but this absolutely a shippy post, the hienichidori community is quiet af and there is no discourse but their comics in their Adventurer’s Bible profiles…!!! Many may ask, does Benichidori canonically have a crush on Hien?! Straightforward answer: It’s left heavily implied but yes. Alternate answer: If the framing of Falin in an explosion as Toshiro says that he loves her isn’t meant to associate the explosion with falling in love when it is mirrored in the next page, then… I think it’s a mix of both, I don’t think just this is true because Hien wouldn’t know who Shuro is talking about or even what Falin looks like, but it could be that the explosion is instead meant to show a world vision being shaken, the thing blowing you away. So for Hien, having Shuro say that breaks this unsaid assumption she’s always had that they might end up together, and thus Falin is taken like an explosion to the face. Similarly, for someone with facial dysmorphia and for who appearances and being subservient are everything, having Hien be confident and totally assume her plain looks, even uplifting herself, that also shakes her world like a bomb. And yes it’s not just about the makeup!! Benichidori’s drawn to her confidence, to her unapologetic attitude, to her attitude. Benichidori unexpectedly snapped at Hien too, but she was totally unshaken and she replied casually and lightheartedly even then; Benichidori saying she can be herself with Hien is about Hien not caring about her mask, both her makeup and her subdued demeanor. Hien is canonically special to Benichidori.

And on the note of that comic, I took a picture from my Adventurer’s Bible for this but I think the fantranslations I’ve seen are lovely too, really gets across all the meaning of the original sentence… Where Benichidori said "She was the only one I could be my unadorned self in front of" (which is my fave) or "I’m able to act my honest self with her". Benichidori having body(more specifically facial) dysmorphia is explicitly stated in the Adventurer’s Bible btw.

Pleasee how Hien’s extra is her talking about her life story and Toshiro to Benichidori… How Hien says "That guy is blind!" and Benichidori says "I’ve noticed that 😊" as if saying that Toshiro is blind to what a catch Hien is… Also in the ninja girls’ shared inn room Benichidori puts her futon next to Hien’s bed.

#Dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #hien #benichidori #hienichidori #Hienbeni #Nakamatsu would also be cute #Hien x benichidori #Benichidori x hien #I would make this part of my rarepair series but they don’t need it they already have interest + i don’t have much to write #Hope this can boost them in the ship tourney… The Flokes are a worthy adversary #dunmeshi rarepairs #Sorryyy some of them are blurrier… As always #Will add more if I find more #That one hienichidori fic on ao3… Thank u for ur service you 100% see the vision #I don’t even think Hien truly crushed on Toshiro but the unrequited angst from benichidori’s pov is also very tasty #they have sm potential #Hienidori as a nickname #Benihien #Rarepair spotlight #Benichihien #Incredible that Benichidori could find such a positive bond in such an hostile environment tbh

[save-the-villainous-cat]

Can you write something with an asexual hero please? 👉👈

Somehow, the villain landed on top of them and somehow, they were quick enough to grab a knife and press it against the hero’s neck.

Quite victoriously, they smirked down at the hero.

“You’re distracted today. Makes you easy prey,” they said, murmured almost.

The hero looked up at them, feeling more or less helpless.

“You won’t get away this time,” the hero promised but both were aware of the situation and how dumb it was to claim a lost battle as a victory.

“Your mind is somewhere else today,” the villain observed. “I want you to focus on me.”

That gave the hero a little kick.

Looking up, they felt intimidated but also strangely safe. The villain was a person of big interest to the hero and sometimes, they feared, those feelings could develop into something more with enough time.

Knowing that the villain would kill for the hero was a thought they liked a little too much. The thrill of it made them turn in their bed after a night full of heroism, eager to return to the villain.

“What is it?” the villain asked. “What is the matter?”

And the hero was tempted to tell them. They didn’t see much harm in it but that was probably the danger.

“Hm?” the villain asked again.

“I…have a boyfriend.”

“Sounds complicated.” The villain made a grimace as if they’d eaten something sour and the pressure of the knife faded slowly.

“…he’s told me a few times now that he wants to sleep with me. I’m asexual.” The villain didn’t seem to be surprised by that and they didn’t make one of those ugly comments the hero was used to. It was a relief but the hero felt like they were betraying their partner. “I don’t know what to do.”

The hero had been in countless relationships before and they had to admit, it seemed like all of them were failing due to their sexuality. They loved their boyfriend, truly loved him and they wanted to find a way around this.

Admittedly, this was the most intimate situation the hero had been in in a long time. With the villain pinning them down and whispering into their ear, smirking and murmuring. The hero liked this, they felt comfortable but they didn’t really need more than this.

“So, he wants to sleep with you?”

“Yeah,” the hero said. “It’s silly, I shouldn’t have mentioned it.”

“Break up,” the villain said. “You’re not compatible.”

“…what?”

“You’re not compatible lovers. You can only break up. What is the solution? An open relationship? Cheating? If that works for you, alright. But you’re someone to blame yourself. You’re someone who would always think they are a problem and that they are not enough.” The hero stared up at their enemy, caught off guard by that piece of advice. Because, yes, that was true. The villain seemed to know them better than they had expected.

“No, it’s not like…compatible lovers, that’s not true. We can make it work,” the hero protested. The villain tilted their head and the hero continued. “Love isn’t like this. It’s not easy. There’s not your perfect soulmate. To love and be loved is to change.”

The villain shook their head and eventually, they got up from the hero. Both hadn’t expected their fight to end with this. But the villain was treating all this like a game anyway.

Which was why the hero was so fascinated by their sudden seriousness.

“And you’re willing to go that far for love? You’re willing to deny a part of yourself, to lose who you are, just to have someone with you?” The villain paused and looked at the ground. “Believe me, what we both have is closer to love than what you think you deserve.”

The hero couldn’t help but feel a sting in their heart.

“We would be horrid lovers,” the hero said.

“It’s not very heroic to lie that much,” the villain answered and somehow the hero knew that the villain was right.

[apatheticlexicographer]

i think i finally understand the exact reasoning behind how both will and mike's sexualities are presented, and how those presentations flatter each other.

will is barely queercoded from a subtextual perspective because there's no need to queercode him. the writers verbally establish in season one episode one that people percieve this kid as gay, so you're immediately guided to see him through the same lens, at least subconsciously. people continue to refer to him as gay and he continues to "act" gay, and most of the audience is able to see this for what it is very easily without the need for heavy symbolism. will being gay is simply treated as a fact from the start by both the characters around him and the writers themselves, for better or for worse.

MIKE, on the other hand, is so heavily queercoded it's barely even funny. he's the one with the queer imagery, the blocking, the set design, the lighting. he's never explicitly referred to as queer, it isn't so much as suggested verbally, but the sheer amount of incredibly blatant subtextual material that surrounds him is insane. none of the characters within the show have the slightest clue that mike is gay. there's a good chance that mike himself doesn't know, or has only begun to realize very recently. even the writers do their damn best to make it appear like they themselves don't know. still, the fact remains that he is, it just isn't expressed in a way that the homophobic masses both within and outside the show are capable of picking up on. when he comes out it will be a shock to the characters and the majority heterosexual audience, but not to the queer people who pick up instinctually on the signalling. basically, you only know mike is gay if you have a genuinely functioning gaydar.

in this way they're so strongly representative of two very different gay experiences, both of which are important and both of which are treated respectfully by the writers, despite the setting.

will is the kid who never really gets the luxury of choosing whether to come out to people, because everybody has had him pegged from the start. even his own family: jonathan tells will he accepts him before will can even hint toward the topic himself. however as much as we're told that he "seems" gay to other people, all we are shown subtextually is a totally normal child who happens to have feelings for another boy. this is important because it subverts the trope of making "being gay" the "obviously gay" character's sole or core trait.

mike is the kid who people would never in a million years guess was queer. it's not just that he gets the luxury of choosing when to come out of the closet; he's so deep in it that he's drowning in winter coats. he's the "twist queer character," except he's not. his subtextual queercoding has been there beneath the surface for just as long as will has been textually referred to as queer on a surface level. this makes it clear that him being gay isn't some kind of last minute decision and the subtlety of his presentation wasn't an accident. if you don't knkw mike is gay now before it's revealed then you aren't supposed to.

they're foils like that. they're the archetypal queers, and i think it's kind of beautiful.

(and if anybody tries to argue that one expression of Queer Experience is more important than another then i'm coming for their kneecaps. having both experiences not only represented but thoroughly explored is so rare, although there are people all over the world who resonate with each.)
