I could see modern!machete being an art conservator, with a focus on 16th century religious art. If he works at a museum, he’d probably be closer to those kinds of paintings, but if he’s a private business, he’d definitely have the money for Armani and Loubotins

Awh, that sounds lovely actually. I've considered something related to museums and history before, but I don't think anyone has brought up art conservator, that does seem like something he'd enjoy. He has the meticulousness, precision and carefulness you need for the job.

#I've figured he appreciates admires and understands arts well #but I've deliberately avoided giving him any creative or artistic skills #as a conservator you work closely with priceless artworks but your objective is to revitalize the piece without leaving any personal touches #renaissance Machete develops tremors and gets shaky from stress and exhaustion but the modern version is doing better health-wise #so he might not #answered #anonymous #sorry I'm going in circles and rambling aimlessly about this without reaching a conclusion #it's fun to consider different options

You guys ever just...

#astarion #baldur's gate 3 #astarion fanart #BG3 #bg3 astarion #myart #I know they added the sponge and soap option now #but this was my go to to clean him up before a really nice cutscene #wheeze #he needs to be CLEAN #I'm sure he appreciates OLD blood gone anyway #but the way to do it was...less than conventional xD #he doesn't actually disapprove in game but it's just for comedic effect haha

yes yes, yeah yeah, blah blah 'Colin didn't see Penelope as a woman in S2 but Monopoly Man Plot Device did in S3' okay

I think we're all forgetting that Colin Bridgerton is miles and away better than Mr. NPC for this reason, in fact.

1: the 'I have given up on women (romance with women)' 'I am a woman' 'You are Pen, you do not count, you are my friend' is actually a really beautiful reassurance of Colin affirming his friendship and appreciation of Penelope OUTSIDE of romantic or sexual expectation. Which is RADICAL and wonderful. He loves Pen because she's PEN, not because she is a means to an end for marriage or a romp. Penelope is important to him and that he cannot give her up or bear the thought of never talking to her again. Yes, she found this hurtful because she wants to be an option, but

2: I actually think this will be the way that she realizes that being seen as a 'woman' is not enough. Debling is in his 30s, a man with a title and money and he says the right things and he courts her and he thinks she's pretty and it's NOT ENOUGH. She is not content in simply being seen as just a woman.

the entire purpose of Polin having interactions with other parties is to prove that it isn't enough for them. They require and desire and crave and NEED the emotional intimacy they have with each other that they can't get from anyone else. Because only with each other can they truly be themselves and unmask and be appreciated for the full people they are

because what Colin did, what he said, proves that he will forever be the better option. sure, maybe he didn't see Penelope as just a 'woman'

but he sees Penelope as a person

and that is infinitely better than anything Lorax Understudy could do in S3

#polin #anti debling #some supposed 'polin' peeps in this fandom out here with the backbones of jello #colin bridgerton #penelope bridgerton #colin may not have seen all of who penelope was (the same way penelope doesn't see all of who colin is) but in his not seeing her #as JUST a romantic option #he comes to appreciate her in ways that are not colored by those expectations #he appreciates penelope with NO expectation #and that is BEAUTIFUL #because there are a lot of men who see a woman and just put her in one specific box #and then don't stop to think that they exist outside of that expectation #colin comes to see her in a romantic light AFTER acknowledging her personhood and importance to him outside of it #and that makes their connection so much deeper and more meaningful #i am a woman second and a person FIRST and the fact that colin recognizes that about penelope is important to me

Back in Far Harbor gang… I get they probably didn’t want to extend a cutscene where the player had no control out too long, but I do wish in the Acadia meeting that you can eavesdrop on they brought up Nick 😭 but they do Not so here’s me making up scenarios. The Usual. 😏

#my art #described #fallout 4 #dima #fallout 4 dima #nick valentine #also like the idea that Nick & Dima have internal fans and when they get Super Emotional u just hear WRRRRRRRRRRRRRR WHDBDJ #also playing with the idea that po is a psyker/has a ‘sight’ equivalent that’s. essentially just in-game save-scumming LMAO #rly hoping that’s not an idea I’m accidentally stealing from someone. PLS lemme know if someone else has used that and I just Forgot 😭 #but ye essentially when faced with the more decisive moments. Po might just pass out and ‘experience’ all of the options - #- (akin to garnets future vision in SU I’d say!) and that helps him determine the best path forward #thought sometimes when it’s a smaller decision he doesn’t pass out. just experiences some light fatigue and then - #- ‘oh ya btw that trunk is trapped. yea you’ll get blowed up if you just open it.’ ‘…. well thanks for relaying that .0001 seconds before- #-I opened it PO.’ #but anyway. all that to say that’s what Nick’s referring to when he said po probably ‘saw’ it and then encouraged the path #po meanwhile is upstairs looking through faraday’s diary - I mean uhhhhhhhhhh the other secret stuff. def not his diary #anyway. DiMA’s not biological but there is an importance to him to him and Nick’s relationship. he’s stupid protective of Nick - #- who probably doesn’t appreciate being the ‘little’ brother all that much. but that’s just how DiMA’s rationalized their ‘roles’ #I just like em hehe

sometimes, i think about the extra bit of depth alex's romance is given when you date him as a guy and i just gotta. stare at the ceiling for a bit...

#i think his heart events are nice either way but like... there's some extra flavor given to when your farmer's a guy #like him admitting that the farmer is the only other guy that he can be vulnerable around #or how admits that he tried denying his feelings for the farmer at first bc of his own internalized homophobia #and probably some external homophobia too #since george will tell the player that he wasn't sure about alex and them being together bc of his own biases #but seeing how happy alex was with them makes him rethink his views #idk i just really like his heart events i wish ppl appreciated them more #i also think it's interesting to see the game acknowledge homophobia and how it'd actually affect the queer relationships in town #it's definitely nice that the town is pretty damn accepting especially a majority of the romance options' families #but it feels more realistic to have those little bittersweet truths mixed in there too i like it #sorry i've got sdv brain rn so i'm thinking about it a lot #stardew valley #mj.txt #tw homophobia mention #sdv spoilers

ik he's witty but i always forget just how easily fenris quips back and forth with almost everyone

#every time its like ah ok i remember now why liam got on with him so easily so quickly xd #(they also vibe with each other in general but i digress) #liam: silly one liner that he said before thinking and that probably sounds stupid - fen: plays along - liam: :0 #friendship cancelled with bethany now fenris is my best friend (SEE bethy he APPRECIATES my jokes 😤) #laya plays dragon age #i always imagine that when fen does his silly 'perhaps i shall practice my flattery [...]' line liam goes out of that kind of perplexed lik #was that a flirt did he flirt with me??? #(cus even if the dialogue that prompts it is marked as a romance option liam wouldnt have intended it as flirtatious) #and usually hed not pay it any further mind but he Does have vague interest in/curiosity about fen so hes overthinking lolol #oc: liam hawke #my ocs #<- once again for the tags xD

the feral desire to write a SQQ pov svsss fic by with the skills narration style a la harry du bois

#te talks #my writing #hes so badly repressed that the skill latent homosexuality is censord into wingdings #and every time it says something the skill aesthetics just swoops in to cover it up #[][][][][]: binghes lips are pretty #aesthetics: ITS A NORMAL THOUGHT. BINGHE IS LIKE A CLASSICAL PAINTING. EVERYTHING IS IN PERFECT PROPORTION IN HIS FACE. WHO COULD NOT ADMIR #THAT? LOOKING AT HIM IS LIKE LOOKING AT A PRISTENE LANDSCAPE PAINTING #ITS A UNIVERSAL HUMAN APPRECIATION #and just like #man having pidw wikia as one of his skills #there are so many options #having one be face or pride #and he has to do an impossibly high skill challenge to even think of doing something that would be embarrassing #there are just so many options #svsss #bingqiu #shen qingqiu

Just finished Astarion's quest+romance.

I'M GONNA FUCKING BREAK SOMETHING AUGH

NEIL I AM IN YOUR WALLS

#bg3 #BABY BOY!! BABY!! (also evil but also BABY) #also i passed the persuasion and insight checks like a fucking pro #i got a fucking nat 20 on the insight check for the 'try to figure out what your lover is feeling' option #i'm gonna choose to believe that's canon<3 #bg3 spoilers #astarion #i do have one complaint and that persuading him was just a little too easy? i feel like he'd fight a bit more against the 'good' option #like i feel like you'd need two or three lines of convincing at least instead of just the one #he switches sides and says things that sound distinctly good-guy aligned SO fast that it was a bit jarring #the 'i can fix him' girlies will appreciate it i'm sure #but i did a LOT of headcanoning and filling out the blanks so it works well enough for me

any hopes for kiwami 3? like things u wanna see added or changed stuff like that

if they dont keep kiryu's goofy walk stance and the hoof-like walk sounds i dont wanna play it

#snap chats #no one understands how much i love that from y3 and y4 its genuinely one of my favorite things about the game #oh but i guess i have to give an actual answer now. HMPH. #id scream if they revived kanda calling mine limp wristed. homophobia in 4k #OK BUT TO BE SERIOUS uhhhh i dont know. im a real simple guy i think #my only like. If This Isnt There Im Leaving deal is mine's palette and im so serious #rgg's scaring me with all the black-hair/purple-suit mine stuff as of late and i cant stress how hard ill vomit if thats in the final #HYPOTHETICAL final anyways. yk3 isnt coming out for. IDK A WHILE #i wanna say i hope they highlight daigo and mine's relationship more but i dont know how theyd do that #i really like how mine's handled in y3 as is so i dont think i want scenes injected like what they did with yk1 and nishiki #someone said a Mine Saga after the game and... hm ... sounds too unrealistic for me to hope for it #like im REALLY trying to think how they could possibly reference the rggo stories in y3 since those are EXCELLENT but #i think . MAYBE. you could reference the story where richardson calls mine as he's driving to the hospital #the only thing you'd have to exclude though is mine stopping by the bar- like JUST keep the phone conversation maybe #cause in that scene that subordinate does question mine if he can really kill daigo and i think thatd be neat. in my opinion. #yeah i dont know. in regards to rggo its hard to think of what i want without intervening things i already like about y3 #its a real head scratcher ... #a really good epilogue addition would be adapting that RGGO bit where daigo ruminates on mine. that's a fair ending for him i think #it also fulfills the need to see how daigo saw mine even if its just a little #and to non-rggo readers it could start to answer 'how does daigo feel about everything that happened' #im still so curious as to if daigo was briefed on EVERYTHING that happened but .... anyways.... #sorry all my hopes for y3 are just mine/minedai centric fLVKELKA BUT LIKE. i really am content with everything else with y3 surprisingly #idk. i want kiryu fucking up that curry in high definition tho. thats important to me #THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE QTES DURING THE RICHARDSON FIGHT ILL BE PISSED #i need the fight to be AS CAMPY and unnecessary as it was in the og. INCLUDING richardson's voice acting i need it wack as hell #is it weird i actually appreciate the Diet Building Loredumping being like. in replayable-cutscene form #i thought id prefer just One Long cutscene but im glad theres the option to skip those segments #BUT being able to get a refresher in case you missed something somehow #im running out of tags jesus christ i shouldve put this in the main text but vjALjlagj those are all my thoughts for now bYE

HEY GUYS ANOTHER ONE OF MY POLLS!!

I was planning to romance Minthara bc I feel like she'd be the perfect enabler for Jaws, the dragonborn evil durge.

...but now, he's currently in the flirting stage with both Lae'zel and Astarion bc his scaley ass would never refuse free sexy nights.

As for now, everything is fine but as soon as I'll get to Act 2 I'll have to choose one. And I don't know if I can postpone them long enough to recruit Minthara and start the romance with her.

So-

#bg3 #bg3 shitpost #baldur's gate 3 #i wasn't planning on romancing astarion this time bc i wanted to ascend him and my durge wouldn’t 'stoop so low' and become a vampire spawn #nor would accept being dumped #jaws is a major red flag #and i don't think Lae'zel would appreciate jaws taking control of the brain #so by logic minthara should be the best option #but I'm not entirely sure tbh #i guess today I'll swap to one of the other runs if i play

#i felt so good after talking to my therapist about the issue w my dad #and i didnt even come to any new conclusions or anything i just told her whats been on my mind what im struggling with and why im so afraid #to confront him and she validated me #which honestly was so new to me? like everytime italked about it it felt like people didnt see the seriousness and why im struggling so muc #with it #like Why are you so afraid of your dad. Why do you have such a hard time. Just do it . Just deal with it. girl i would if it was so easy #but she didnt react like this at all & she didnt ask anything that implied she might be thinking this way too. im v blessed alhamdulillah #she suggested to tell him that i want to wear the hijab through the phone for my own safety (which isnt an option personally but i #really appreciated the thought behind it) #and she also told me that i shouldnt do it if i dont feel ready yet to face him and its like. the first time ever someone told me this lol #she said i shouldnt put more weight on my shoulders because the situation will be a lot worse if i m not prepared #i do feel ready now though ive been dealing with this for months im just so so so scared. im so scared iwant to cry all the time #anyway. ive been sleeping much worse than usually and im waking up completely covered in sweat which is #so disgusting. i was worried that im sick or smth (cancer lol) but realised it started w ramadan!!! which is when i made up my mind when #i will talk to him #may Allah help me may Allah protect me #im about to cry again aaa
