You start out thinking Shane is the zany cryptid and Ryan is the sane one. And then you learn more about Ryan.
And you realize they are the same level of insane in different directions.
So you think ah, it must be Steven then! He's the genius businessman who keeps the ghoul boys in line. He must be the sane one.
And then you learn more about Steven.

the problem with writing bg3 real world "everyone's human" AUs is you gotta come up with a reason for humans to be named Astarion and Lae'zel and Karlach and the obvious solution of course is to make everyone trans but still like what kinda Tolkein shit are you on that you call yourself Astarion, girl where the fuck did you get Karlach, and actually Lae'zel is alright, a bit extra with the apostrophe but otherwise passable
and don't even fucking get me started on surnames

Every time I see the ship name dreamling on a post, my brain reads it as greedling (nope, too far back in fandoms!) before, AGAIN, failing to get with the program, and next assuming it means Dream inhabiting Ling Yao's body, before I finally realize how insane it is to assume that's what literally a single person on this planet could be posting about.

Something I find fascinating about Wandee Goodday is that no one has kissed yet (I know Ye and Cher have kissed but...) Like not a full on make out session despite having an established couple in the show that they could be using to show us kisses. But we get no kiss sex scenes from Yak and Dee and soft, somewhat chaste scenes from Ye and Cher. We all know both couples are fucking. But the lack of kisses where normally the show would have one couple more active in that department tells me how important kissing is to this story.
Dee has stated that it's silly but he doesn't want to kiss unless he loves that person and is serious with them. But the entire show is respecting the no kiss rule which tells me that it's not silly. The entire show is respecting Dee's boundary here. And yes, Yak and Dee have come so close to kissing so many times, but they haven't. Dee has always pushed him away and Yak has always respected it when he does.
It makes me wonder what's going to happen once the main couple does eventually lock lips. Will that open the floodgates? Will the audience get to see both couples kissing then? Or will it continue to withhold that specific moment of intimacy. There's something the show is saying about the expected parts of intimacy being taken for granted and also deserving of privacy and that's up to the people in the relationship.
Kissing can be an act of love and desire, but what the show is saying is that it is not a requirement for those things. I can be completely talking out of my ass here, but something about this is really sitting with me. Not only do we get Plakao as ace representation, someone who wants a partner to cherish and be cherished without sexual expectations, but we also get the show reinforcing the ideas that love comes in all forms with so many different acts and different people are comfortable with different things. And all of that is okay. And all of those boundaries are worthy of being respected. Regardless of societies expectations for what it means to be in a relationship and be physical, whatever is right for you is right and isn't that just beautiful?
