Childhood encounter AU! BabbyGale got separated from his mom mushroom hunting and rather than stay put he ended up more lost trying to show off his navigation skills, luckily helping people lost in the woods is literally Asena’s whole upbringing.

They’re the same age but Asena is a runt.

#bg3 tav #bg3 fanart #bg3 gale #gale x tav #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #oc: asena #child au #spoiler: Asena does not give him back the basket #her mushrooms now #I have another sketch but it involves drawing a wolf and I’m not feeling it right now #I’m always impatient to post things as soon as they’re done #the amount the ‘no it’s like a really big dog’ made me chuckle to myself is frankly embarrassing #Idk why it didn’t occur to me until now that procreate has text and I don’t have to struggle to write legibly

jumping off the back of the post about genres of song lyrics, another thing about tmbg's lyrics in particular is that even when they write about pleasant themes, they still manage to frequently do so through a sinister lens:

the experience of having children and looking after them:

a nice little nightlight protecting a child muses on the shortcomings it would have outside its assigned responsibility:

fantasising about getting high in the park with your crush:

#tmbg #AND. I love it. #please feel free to add to this btw. I feel like there's more flansburgh examples but they're dropping out of my head #I've gone on and on about ''sleeping in the flowers'' already. so I won't repeat myself too much in the tags here #but I can also see how it's intended to come across as playful. like. #it's two people in love having a silly exchange between each other #I also like the little interlude from the nightlight's lullaby-of-sorts to the child to describing how it would make a really bad lighthous #''man it's a good thing I'm not one of those. I'm too small. if I did that then people at sea would crash and drown horribly hahaha #anyway good night'' #and actually re: nanobots. it only just occurred to me #I'd gotten 'newborn citizenship of the micronations'' being a verbose way to describe. babies lol #but is the start of verse about the actual birth of a child and getting so distracted by the preparation and stress #that you almost forget oh yeah. I have this kid now :) #and thinking about how even tho your worries around that are now over you'll focus instead on all the future responsibilities you'll have #how does something written in such a detatched way manage to be so sweet

#we always hung them on the foot of our beds and that was just normal #i think over time i became aware of the fireplace option which i know is the origin of the stockings thing #but it's just now occurring to me that i never really see any mention of having it at the end of your bed #why did we do that??? it made it so much harder for my mum trying not to wake us up?? #i would just ask this as a regular question but as we know i will utilise the poll function at any and all opportunities #polls

...every instance of chilchuck's daughters being seen/named was in extra material outside of the manga. he only referenced them existing in the main story.

trigger... i'm begging you... take some liberties with season 2... the anime-onlys deserve to at least SEE the girls 😭

#tox.txt #finally headed to bed but this suddenly occurred to me and now i'm sad #there's so much good extra info in the guide & misc monster tales #i understand why most of it can't really be fit into the anime but MAN...

Not a confession about the show.

But, for the mod of this blog, i wonder how could you still be strong seeing confessions. Even i'm unable to scroll your posts without getting a little bit tired because of how much opinions, feelings, running through.

Thank you for existing, Thank you so much. Thank you for letting people confessing in your blog. Thank you. Thank you very much.

I believe a lot of people appreciate you because of this blog, at least i do-

Because of your blog, i can see a lot of perspectives about the show. And then i can see things more logically and objectively. That's why i love your blog so much. It keeps making me realize reasons why i love the show from the day one.

Thank you. I want to say that single sentence to you a lot. You deserve one sentence for every single post you post.

Thank you, how mentally strong are you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

#not a confession #mod 1blood #i never really know what to say to these tbh #it doesnt really occur to me that anyone sees this blog as that important #to me its just a place where people yell into the void but then i get messages like this where people say its more #which isnt a complaint! i appreciate it when yall send stuff like this #but it throws me off a little lol. especially since keeping up with this blog is so little effort compared to another i run #tbh if it werent for the occasional messages like this that i get i probably wouldve quit by now #so thank you <3

I had a big long post about the trending situation but when I tried to save the draft to go check on something else Tumblr ate it. Anyway here's trending:

Here's the daily post information for the top two tags:

Here's the daily post information for the bottom two tags:

And here's the daily post information for #Free Palestine:

I know people are upset that anyone is posting any fandom related stuff at all, but Tumblr absolutely has some explaining to do when the only tag on trending that has more posts than #Free Palestine is #WWE and two of the tags on trending are basically the same tag and should've been shown as trending together instead of taking up two spots.

Being this blatant with suppressing tags during a genocide is appalling, and doing it during a massive strike (One that places an emphasis on posting Palestine related content) is rubbing salt in the wound.

#free palestine #palestine #tumblr trending is broken #not tagging the trending tags because in the only one that's actually posting more than Palestine related tags it would get lost and the #people posting in other tags can't fix the situation by posting less since they already *aren't* posting more than the Palestine tags #so it feels counterproductive to shame people who can't actually change the situation if you get where I'm coming from #Also it's now occurring to me that it's Holocaust Remembrance day #while I understand people not wanting to post about remembering a genocide that's being used to excuse an active genocide #it's still really suspicious that while I saw the tag on trending today I never saw it at the number one spot #*and* that when I checked out the tag to see if people were being islamophobic or antisemitic Tumblr shoved me right to the search feature #instead of showing me how many posts the tag had #Like I'm not even sure what to make of that (Was the tag boosted? Was it being suppressed like the Palestine tags? Was that just a poorly #timed glitch?) it just feels really suspicious

The Rosemary Tree is the first time I've had to put down a book so I could sob over how beautiful it was.

#elizabeth goudge how do you keep doing this? #her books are such a strange thing for me #either they're 'yes it's pretty but could you please get to the point and have something happen?' #or i am slammed with waves and waves of intense overwhelming emotion so i almost can't stand how deeply it affects me #i think it helps to read it at the same time of year the story occurs #the dean's watch during advent was a life-changing experience #and now reading this book in march is having a very similar effect #i actually had to go in a room by myself to properly cry #because someone caught me tearing up #and how could i begin to explain that i'm sobbing my heart out because miss giles is reading the secret garden? #i've cried over sad moments in books but i've never felt anything like this #such intense joy and sorrow all mixed in so you can't tell which emotion is causing the tears #it's been like two hours since that happened and i'm still shook #my world is upended #and i'm being reminded in an entirely new way of what really great literature can do #the rosemary tree #elizabeth goudge

bc like while labru is more compelling to me if it's yuri one of the reasons why i'm keeping farcille also yuri is because. well. to me they're gonna lose something if it's yaoi sorry. also i'm more interested in girl laios and falin's relationship if they're sisters than if they're a sister and a little brother in that it will highlight further that laios has no avenue to leave their hometown. i think it would be interesting for girl laios to learn she can do magic and then wonder what could've been if she knew she could. and also because i don't want to fall into the trap of like... they're still originally guy characters. yk? it doesn't magically stop ignoring the female characters who are there if you genderbend/transgendify the guys to focus on them instead.

#wynn speaks #also to clarify labru isn't more compelling to me if it's yuri for no reason #i think girl laios leaving behind a husband and child because she HAD to get out is really compelling #and i think being a queen would be that much more conflicting to her #bc it means she is now easily findable--even tho that doesn't immediately occur to her #and i think girl kabru being a total piner loser who doesn't know she's being a total piner loser is compelling #she's like the queen is unhappy how do i make her happy again. i wanna kno for normal reasons also i hate her ex husband for normal reason #it's a little story/character exploration enhancer. for me #butch chilchuck too btw. canon in my heart #farcille stays largely the same. ur perfect girls <3 #anyway if anyone wants baller farcille fic recs feel free to ask. i haven't read all of them and haven't read thru the whole manga yet #but heehee....so good

When I write novels with characters who have my flaws they always spiral and get worse and destroy themselves and that seems completely and utterly inevitable. but when I write dnd characters who have my flaws they kind of just. can't. like they are one of the heroes they have to be pro-social they need to do well and improve and level up. and they have a built in support network to make it easier. this post was supposed to be a metaphor about isolation or something but I've lost my point

#teia my dnd character is the closest to a self insert I've ever made and like. #her story is set up for self-discovery and learning to value herself. that would never occur to me in a novel #meanwhile i've been kicking around a novel idea that resuses a character who was my me-but-worse self insert when i was 16 or 17 #and theres a lot more distance between us now but like. back then i really did make a character with my issues and destroy her for it huh

oh, when Orym looked right at Imogen, days after his talk with Fearne abt what to do if she switches sides, and tells her, "I'm not worried about you." and Imogen didn't insight check him, or push into his mind; she just believed him. and I believed him as well, even though it could have easily been a lie, and then Liam confirmed that Orym really did trust her when he said that. he really did believe that Imogen would stand by the Hells, and she did. she looked her mother in the eye and she didn't waver. and it's not specifically because Orym trusted her, but his trust really does mean something to Imogen. she sought him out that night for a reason.

and now the solstice is still happening but things are so different, and Imogen is one of the most vocally opposed members of the Hells to Ludinus, and the Ruby Vanguard, and Predathos. they're bad. they need to be stopped. she'll kill her mother, kill herself, if that's what needs to be done. her questions and her doubts are gone- or at least, hidden away.

and if they are not, if she's suspicious in any way, Orym has personal orders from the wise and benevolent Tempest (and she is wise and benevolent, is the thing!!) to remove her from the situation however he sees fit. to "do the thing," in the parlance used in Orym's conversation with Fearne, a phrasing acknowledged as vague even at the time. Orym, who loves Imogen, and who shows her kindness and empathy, and who stared the fathoms of nuance and pain defining the actors in this conflict in the face and rejected it in favor of revenge just last week. Orym, who told Fearne she would have to "do the thing" because he couldn't - I always assumed it was because he knew he couldn't match up to Imogen on his own, but it could just as easily be that he couldn't bear to do to her what he thinks would need to be done. Imogen still doesn't know they had that talk. the leash has been held so loose that she didn't even know it was there.

#imogen temult #orym of the air ashari #critical role #cr3 #orym #cr #now i have explained before how i think people generally respond to being held under constant unshakeable suspicion (badly.) #but apparently acknowledging that imogen might feel and react negatively to this is coddling her and hating conflict in stories so. #for the record i don't really expect orym to do anything on this front - like if it came down to it he WOULD follow keyleths order. or try #but there would almost certainly be second and third and fourth and as many chances as he could possibly give before that were to occur #if only. at the very least. bc the resulting blowout would tear the entire fucking party apart lol. and i think imogen's conviction is real #ALSO this is not me being upset at this story beat or saying that orym and keyleth bad imogen good or anything. i am simply saying words. #bc i find what is happening compelling and emotionally resonant. u wld think this wld be obvious. and yet #crposting

I just asked my irl friends this too but I’m rlly curious to know so: can you guys give me any recommendations for new food to try for someone who is an extremely picky eater who’s trying to practice expanding their palette?? like maybe some really simple foods that would be a good place to start, or alternatively pls tell me what food you would recommend to someone who has never eaten food before lmao

#literally ‘food recommendations for a beginner??’ LMAO #if it helps uhhh I rlly like pasta and carbs (even tho I’m gluten free) and like warm cozy food in general #tempted to start listing all the things I don’t want to eat but like. that would take me all day and feel really embarassing LMAO #potential oversharing but uhh I’m starting to think I may actually have a legitimate ed and it’s rlly hard… #but it just occurred to me that because I’m so picky there’s so much good food I haven’t tried yet??? #like most people have tried way more food than me at this age #but I’ve barely tried anything #and if I could just magically get over my good issues it would be so cool to be able to just?? discover food for the first time???? #so idk that’s a really comforting thought #but for now. eating hard and scary. so I gotta start with simple things #tw ed mention #idk I’m not even 100% sure yet but also like… I know. lmao #pretty sure I’m past denial at this point #gem don’t look

technically if it's not simmered in the champagne region of france it's a sparkling best boy friend

#you see actually this is an ingeniously relevant caption b/c of the concept of Authentic food tying into the film's main themes re culture #Clearly impeccable lol....anyway here's me using this blog as like a tumblr hosted imgur #also just now in the shower it occurred to me the parallels / overlaps with My Big Fat Greek Wedding. obviously also v different but #so your family & by extension their culture aren't the Normal & your father especially holds on to this distinction #& you don't just want to work at the family business forever & then you meet a nice boy & there's no problem there he's just nice #except then how to reconcile this with your relationship w/your family & your culture & thus also your identity btw.... #anyways how about that uhh #elemental #elemental 2023 #pixar elemental #ember lumen #wade ripple #fanart #always a time & a half trying to decide how to tag these kinds of titles. but somehow i survive #it's really a testament to the so precisely captured Cuteness of wade's design that it's like; trying to just do a shadow of it justice lol #it's So good. definitely went for the like expressive wobbliness...the wavy smile is just thee perfect detail all thee time. ugh #giving both of them that Flow while also ember is pointier & has the whole luminosity element....the chefs are kissing #love the Relationship when it's like yeah it's easy to make it agonizing when it's like ya both people have fun & like each other & enjoy #being together & find the relationship enriching & motivating...you Are a cute couple / again that the conflict isn't really even like ooh #will the won't they as a question of if they really like each other; & Definitely not a question of [these ppl hate each other actually] lo #like me saying i like romcoms sometimes when it Does mostly mean i'll watch mybigfatgreekwedding 500x in a row. it's on youtube btw #then you watch some random other romcom & it's psychological torture. random xmas romcomdram like gave me a headache fr.... #anyways really liked this film really had a great time i'm def gonna see it again soon #i loved both these characters & their relationship & the Elemental manifestation of Culture is really inchtaraesting #plus other metaphorical resonance ppl find...physical disability; queer experiences.... #it was also fun b/c their interacting & their arcs w/each other having that mutual Effect & Change from their dynamic was like #that also just feels like both of them / their relationship = my relationship with myself &/or both how i interact w/the world/anyone #definitely always describing myself in ways like ''i never x except for when i do always; readily'' like Crying for sure lol. I'm Both.... #probably a bit more wade? within Myself; by this point lol. i feel like maybe i'm the wade w/someone i'm more comfortable around #but that otherwise i probably come across more emberesque. usually. except for when it's the opposite except for when it's not lmao etc!!!!

sometimes my anxiety brain will go "here's 1001 ways your favorite person could start to hate you suddenly out of nowhere to agonize over while he's not online" and I'm just supposed to go "cool. leave me alone" at my own brain i guess

#why do i do this to myself #I'm fine this is like a daily occurance I'm used to it by now #and it's only Really bad while he's offline #because i have no emotional object permanence. if i go a few hours without being reminded that he does in fact love me #then my brain will have a field day with the worst case scenarios #vent

me anytime someone tells me that I don't have to fight and kill my way through every single enemy in the video game i'm playing:

#will never forget playing through FC5 Infamous run that very first time #and speedrunning it no less because i wanted to be the very first person on here to beat it lmfao #and bemoaning after how hard it was for me to escape John's bunker because i kept getting beat down fighting through the Angels #and being told by my friend 'why didn't you just run through them' and bluescreening because that thought never even occurred to me #John's bunker and Jacob's boss fight were the only parts i really suffered through in that playthrough which was surprising #but just now in the game i was playing i fell through a hole and the enemies couldn't follow me down and i realized that was an option #to just speedrun to the next section and have them unable to follow never even just...enters my brain agksdhalsdasd

whenever i get an intense feeling of interest towards someone there is nothing i wont do for even a sliver of information.. i must know it all..

#im just a passionate schemer #(he ought to be arrested) #this level of interest i speak of has only really occured twice or thrice #my brain would wake me up 3 times a night just to check all their socials. likes. number of following etc #i would queue up in multiplayer games at the same time just hoping that i would be put in the same lobby by accident #games i didnt even like #this was 2019 shion btw. it is only bc it is a thing of the past that i can confess to my crimes #shion of the now is much more mellow and airheaded #i suppose mafumafu could be classified as one of these people of interest to me
