Raphael Romance Event
Last reminder: Circa one week left!
To celebrate the 1000 signatures for our Raphael petition a while ago, there will be the Raphael Romance Event.
WHAT IS THE TASK?
Create a romance scene/moment between Raphael and your Tav/Dark Urge/OC of choice.
It doesn't have to be romantic in the very sense of the word. Of course, it can be, but there are many options. Make it sappy or make it bitter, make it happy or sad, sweet or heavy, a bit spicy or very vague, make it a cocky exchange, something dark and threatening, anything that works for you. Is he only toying with the MC? Manipulating them? Struggling with genuine feelings? Showing a softer side? Something else entirely? It's up to you!
Once I have gathered the submissions, I will make a google doc with our collected pieces and send it to Larian via the known channels I used for the petition too, showing them how much we love that devil, thanking them for giving him to us and maybe inspire them, who knows.
I will also post it on tumblr and twitter for anyone to enjoy. 💕
UNTIL WHEN?
The last day to post it or to send it my way is May 31, 2024.
HOW DO I SUBMIT SOMETHING?
By posting it on tumblr, using the tag makeraphaelromanceable and tagging me, or by sending it to me directly, either on tumblr, twitter (dmagedgoods) or straight to my Discord account.
WHAT FORMS OF SUBMISSION ARE ALLOWED?
stories (around 1500 words maximum, please not much more to not overwhelm them with text)
paintings, drawings
comics (not more than an A4 page of content)
edits (not more than an A4 page of content)
videos made from in-game material or using mods
WHAT ARE THE RULES?
The piece must include your Tav, Dark Urge, or OC of choice and Raphael (not Haarlep alone, though of course, Haarlep can be part of it).
Originally, I said one submission per person but I think we won't be too many to handle the material, so you can submit a second piece if you can't decide.
It doesn't matter if you already posted or published your submission anywhere else or how old it is.
Not much more than 1500 words of writing.
Not more than an A4 page of content for comics and edits; I know this is vague, I don't want to limit things too much but I also try to keep things balanced.
No NSFW, no gore.
No dead dove topics, no insults.
No AI-created writing or art.
Post it with the tag makeraphaelromanceable and at me in it (dmagedgoods) so I don’t miss it or just send it to me directly on tumblr, twitter, or on Discord.

Hi! The book you did for otnwas is SO BEAUTIFUL!! I was wondering if you have any tutorials on how do to your own book binding? I would love to turn my fave fanfics into real life books :DD
aww thank u so much !! i actually collated a few resources for my friends about bookbinding so u r in luck ⭐:)
but before all that, i want to mention the most important thing and it is to always get the permission of the author of the fic you're wanting to bind first and to never print any art related or not to that fic without the artist's permission !!!!! let's keep it respectful in these streets yeah? BUT printing your own art though.. that's a slay 🤞🏽
ok hehe to the fun stuff yippeeeee
bookbinding tools & materials (beginner friendly) - super helpful + in depth, i recommend starting with this one to really get a good idea of the entire process (she specializes in journals though so it doesn't include printing process or anything like that!)
14 helpful hints before getting started - very very useful hacks that will probably save you a lot of mistakes in the long run, also i love this man (one thing i have to mention though is that paper grain is not entirely important unless you're looking for a more advanced bind)
how to bind fanfic tiktok series - this is a good one that has a step by step guide which includes the typesetting + printing process
tutorial focused videos
DIY book press - very useful + efficient, but if you can't be bothered to make this (like me oops) you can just use really heavy books or weights
DIY binding cradle - essential tool to punch holes in your signatures, honestly saved me money and also my life, once again i love this man where would i be without this tutorial
french link stitch - easy to follow, has some good sewing tips too!
weaver’s knot - important hack, you don't want your thread to be too long when sewing it's a nightmare
hardcover case binding - good tutorial on hardcover but this one is flatback - it's still fine to follow though if you switch the spine to card stock to give it more flexibility especially if it's a thick book
whew, sorry for the long ask i hope this is helpful enough ;; another important thing is to be patient and have fun !! try to enjoy the process especially bc it takes SO long but trust it's very worth it <3 there's also a lot of materials and tools so pick whichever is the most accessible to you ok byeeee

i just remembered that. in "mac kills his dad" dee and dennis try to come up with a reason that life is worth living and neither of them can do it. dee's futile sounding "what makes me happy in life........." as she tries to come to terms with the fact that nothing does. or at least nothing that can be described as either normal or healthy. you can know you're miserable but never really lay it out in front of you

My thing is Matt shouldn't have to "communicate that he wants honesty" to Karen? I don't get your logic because it feels like you're constantly giving Karen an out that she can be dishonest all she wants because it's "not on the same level as Matt", or that because she stated her expectation of honesty, that she is the only one that gets to demand that from Matt and since Matt didn't say that part out loud, he shouldn't be expecting honesty from her? My thing is you give what you want to demand even without the other person needing to say it out loud. If I want someone to respect me then I respect them, me nor the other party should have to state loudly "I want you to respect me". Your actions beget what you want to receive.
The very crux of my point is you can't demand honesty without being honest yourself and avoiding the hypocrite tag. Getting bogged down in specifics with "honesty measuring contest" that you seem to be doing, "oh well Matt's dishonesty was to a higher degree than Karen's therefore she is absolved" is sort of overinjecting inordinate nuance to give Karen some type of out. The argument just feels so disproportionate in favor of Karen.
And isn't the fact that one of her secrets/omission of facts that she's the one who killed Wesley which almost bit Matt in the butt during S3 when Fisk pinned that on Matt when Nadeem was leading a hunt for him crosses into "dangerous secret-keeping" and therefore bumps up Karen's dishonesty to another degree?
Also there was a scene in Daredevil S2 where Karen shows disapproval of Daredevil right in Matt's face, where she pontificates about how men like Daredevil who takes the law into their own hands contribute to the chaos in the city so she wasn't exactly perpetually approving of Daredevil.
Anon, I'm so happy you're willing to continue this discussion. I think it's really interesting.
I'm thinking now that what may have happened is that I misunderstood you (if you're the same anon who first asked about Matt and Karen). I read that first ask to be about whether Karen causally contributed to their relationship imploding, and so my reply attempted to analyze if/how Karen contributed to the implosion of: a) their platonic relationship, and b) their romantic relationship. I concluded, based on my read of the show, that she contributed to the the implosion of their platonic relationship, but not the implosion of their romantic relationship.
But now you seem to be asking a different question: "Is Karen's dishonesty Bad?" As in...is it immoral, is it hypocritical, is it dangerous?
And my answer to all of that is: yes!
You said: "The very crux of my point is you can't demand honesty without being honest yourself and avoiding the hypocrite tag" - we're in total agreement!
But your question was: what causally contributed to the implosion of their relationship?
Please show me any point in the show with factual evidence that Karen's hypocrisy and/or dishonesty causally contributed to any issues with her relationship with Matt. Because I don't see it.
Here's the thing: in order for her hypocrisy/dishonesty to cause her relationship with Matt to implode...Matt would have to be bothered by it.
And...he isn't? He's sad in S3, I think, with his "Why didn't you tell me?" but then she gives him an answer, and he seems to understand.
And I think this is FASCINATING. Honesty is clearly a non-negotiable issue for Karen (and I think also for Foggy) in relationships, romantic or otherwise. And especially romantic, at least for Karen. She cannot be in a romantic relationship where she is being lied to.
She can, apparently, be in a relationship where she is lying. That's hypocritical, sure, but the point is: she's going to dump someone else over their dishonesty, but she's not going to dump someone else over her own dishonesty.
But what about Matt? Matt will not, apparently, dump someone else over their dishonesty. Nor will he necessarily dump someone over his own dishonesty.
What causes Matt to dump someone? As far as we can see, it's...refusing to stop killing other people, and/or enjoying killing other people. That's it.
(I mean, I'm sure there's more, but that's all we see in the show.)
What I'm getting at, Anon, is that everyone has non-negotiables in a relationship. One of Karen's non-negotiables is continued dishonesty on the part of the other person. Matt violated that non-negotiable, so she ended their relationship.
But Karen did not violate Matt's non-negotiables. Even when he found out about Wesley, she was remorseful. So he was fine with continuing to have a relationship with her (a platonic one, at least).
Again, please understand, Anon: the question that was asked, and the context in which I'm responding, was specifically about how Karen causally contributed to the relationship imploding. It was not about whether Karen's actions were good, fair, wrong, hypocritical, etc. or whether Karen should be "absolved." That's a separate issue.
And to this, you might say that I'm injecting unnecessary nuance. And maybe I am. But...I'm a lawyer? This is what I do? This is how I've been trained to think?
And yes, it can be annoying. But it can also be very, very helpful at clarifying issues. (And I could be wrong, but I think that the fact that I think like this is one reason why people like my particular blog?)
Anon, you never explained why my nuance was unnecessary. I happen to think this nuance is critical - because talking about "is this behavior bad?" vs "did this behavior cause a specific outcome?" are two different things, and conflating them can lead to problems.
Have you ever had a conflict with someone where you're like, idk, "Why did you eat my clearly-marked sandwich?" and they're like "You're a hypocrite because [whatever]." Okay, maybe I am a hypocrite, but that doesn't answer my question! Let's resolve the issue of why you ate my clearly-marked sandwich, and then we can work on the issue of my hypocrisy.
That is why I think this nuance matters, and I'd like to hear why you think my nuance is unnecessary and inordinate.

(Out of nowhere, you are approached by a familiar lightbulb-headed Cog.)
Ah, it's you, cat. Thinking you're oh-so-slick. Muttering and whispering under those raggedy whiskers of yours... Thinking I am unable to hear it all...
Well, you've simply underestimated my fantastic hearing. You probably want to know the reason why I'm here, taking a 'break' from my incredibly important scientific breakthroughs? It's quite simple, really!
(She gets close, and squints her eyes.)
I know what you are.
Farewell, now!
(She then leaves the way she came from.)
(Spam giggles immensely, covering her face... it always seems like she's giggling, isn't she? This lasts... at least thirty seconds. Longer than usual.)
And I know what I am too, Sparky! You broke through something, that's for sure. Really, broke through...
(She looks down, continuing to laugh nervously.)
You know, I find it odd you Havent tried to bulb blast me into the stratosphere by now. I mean knowing how you acted with Frostbite. Is there something peculiar about me that you perhaps can't quite track? Something about me that you... don't know what I am?
I know, I know, I'm talking to nobody again. But you were there when I had a moment today with the one the only Frostbite The Bravecog. You may be remaining. Lurking in the shadows. Knowing about these thoughts that I'm thinking.
(The giggling resumes, lasting far shorter this time.)
Your brother's a piece of fucking barp, by the way
(She braces for impact for a few seconds, wincing while smiling, before comically looking around to realize nobody's there. She sighs.)
Wow, okay maybe toony superhero show logic doesn't apply in this situation. Cool.
WAIT I JUST FUCKING REALIZED WHAT SHE MEANT but like. Dude if she meant that then what's the point I mean the whole ahh sellbot department barping knows unless you're Really low on the ladder. Heheh... maybe she did mean what I thought she meant.
Oh i'm so fucking screwed. What kind of bitch gets filament fever

Sup guys. I gots to ask y'all something. My birthday is coming up this month and I would like to do something with some of my mutuals for it.
You know the hit TF2 video called Heavy is Dead? Well, I would like to do a collab with you guys on it, specifically the ones who I end up summoning, ok?
So my plan was to have you three mutuals and I draw/animate bits for the video. We will get 2 mercs each and draw/animate those mercs for the collab.
Here's how I planned this, but it could change to make you guys feel comfortable to do it if you want. For now I chose characters that you guys used the most.
I will animate Spy and Scout.
@cage-cat-yt would animate Heavy and Medic.
@fandomandangstlover would animate Engineer and Soldier.
@giddlygoat would animate Sniper and Demoman.
To be honest Giddly I was considering you to have Scout instead because you draw him the most but I wanted you to have the chance in having a merc that stays alive longer (Sniper) as well as the one who doesn't (Demo).
Same thing with the rest of you, I chose a merc that stays alive long and the one that doesn't for you just to be fair.
And no fancy background is required, you can use a blank white canvas, it's just better that way I'm sure.
This collab doesn't have to be done on my birthday, it would be cool if it did but you could take as much time as you need. It would still be for my birthday. Hell, not even that! it could just be something fun that we can do together, no pressure.
Also if you felt like you can't animate just draw some expressions and poses and what not so I can edit it in. As long as it fits the original idc. Also it doesn't have to be a recreation of it, it's just meant to be silly.
If you guys want to switch mercs that's fine, just let me know first so I can discuss it with the person who has the merc previously. Or better yet talk to each other about it (I was gonna suggest the discord server but I just remembered that Giddly left it, so I guess you can talk about this by using the comments in this post).
If you wanted to switch with me then give me reasons to and I will gladly switch.
If you guys don't want to take part of this collab that's fine too, I don't mind as long as you can tell me why. I'm not here to hold you at gun point and tell you to take part.
I want you guys to have fun with this. If you guys would rather do something else, or your too busy, or stuff is going on right now and you can't handle this atm that's fine. I just thought it was a fun idea to have and create something fun together, that's all.
Let me know if you want to be a part of this so that I can discuss it with each of you. Thank you for your time. 😁💖✨

I’m to punch your writing bad vibes so get your butt ready.
To be slightly personal, your writing has been one of my inspirations for a while now. If I had to describe your style, it doesn’t dip into overly flowery purple prose that makes it difficult to tell what is going on, but it's meaty enough to put me into a character’s shoes and really give me a sense for the emotions they feel and why they feel that way. Little details like usage of punctuation, bolds, italics, caps, etc. truly sell your muses as their own person, complete with distinct voices. These little things may go unnoticed, but to me, It’s the little things like these that really show how much care and effort you put into your writing.
And generally, it really gives me motivation to sit down and write, whether it’s for a reply or something personal.
Your writing is very satisfying to read, and I know I’ve said it multiple times before, but it has truly opened my eyes to characters I would have normally been apprehensive or understood little about if not for you. There’s something about how you write P5 related content that makes me wish you were in charge of the game. You really hit all the things I enjoy about the game and seamlessly incorporate it to your writing, as well as improve its shortcomings.
(To be slightly personal again, your enthusiasm for this game, through IC content or OOC posts, is one of the reasons why I’ve been able to slowly come up with ideas on how to slap my P4 muses into P5, but more importantly, enjoy the game for what it is. Without you, I have no doubts that it would have taken me much longer to appreciate it.)
Of course, your writing achieving this effect would not be possible without your understanding of the game, its themes and its characters. Not just P5, mind you. P4, too. Despite me knowing the events of the game almost by heart, you always bring up something fresh about it that makes me view it in a new light and keep the P4 era going in my heart, and by P4 era, I mostly mean Naoto.
I know you’ll make me fall in love with P3 all over again soon, so I’m looking forward to that :^)
There is a lot more for me to say, you being a cherished friend is one of them, and also that you are a horrible little gremlin for encouraging my illness known as Naoto Disease, just to name a few things, but that’s for a later date, since I don’t want to make this ask stretch on for miles.
PS remember that I won’t stop loving you dani-lion xoxo
((You are a damn good, genuine friend, Liz. I needed to hear this.))

The idea of Michael having Bonnie make a comlink for Lyan so they can stay in touch more easily is very good BUT it's quickly made funny by the idea of KᎥtt using it as well. "Lyan... Michael did something foolhardy and got himself thrown in jail again :/// we already called Devon for bail but I just thought I'd let you know. Also can you please come get me out of police impound :("
