People who play Curse of Strahd need to watch this. I find there is a lot of moralizing in the fandom that probably comes from Tracy Hickman's writeup in the beginning of the book who frames COS as a moral story and generalizes a lot about the history of vampires. Btw, like Meyer, Hickman is also a Mormon. Why are they always writing about vampires?

#very good video I also thought of cos while watching it #relevant to any fandom with quote unquote problematic love interests #contra takes a while to get to the point but it's a good analysis #and I had NO IDEA hickman was a mormon??? 😭😭 why does it make so much sense lmao #why is it so funny to think that Strahd got cancelled by a mormon asasdklash #reblogs

Anyway I started watching Hazbin as someone who didn't like the pilot and dare I say.

It changed my mind. It touched my heart.

#oR WHATEVER- #I watched it when it came out months ago and I've been listening to the songs ever since but I thought of the joke only now #it's good #surprisingly wholesome queer show actually #charlie and vaggie singing about how much they love and matter to eachother makes me cry every time ok bye #hazbin hotel #not art

Sometimes I see posts about how "I, Strahd" Tatyana has the personality of a cardboard but I don't think I agree honestly.

We only see her in very few scenes (all from Strahd's POV) and she's always very gentle and soft spoken.

Which makes completely sense since she was a lowborn orphan trying to make a good impression on her future brother in law, who is not only the ruler of the valley but also a feared war criminal. Of course she would try to be as nice as possible in front of him.

I also think that Strahd was extremely genuine in thinking he was in love with Tatyana, it's just that he never really knew her the way Sergei did. He only knew a facet.

#she went customer service mode #Strahd mentions that in the months she stays at Ravenloft he finds new reasons to fall in love with her day after day #so even if his attraction to her was absolutely superficial at first I do think he really liked her going on #he's so difficult to please I think he would have just tried to fish for other reasons to dislike her if his attraction wasn't genuine #especially because he really wanted to hate her before meeting her #also being just kind and gentle is a completely valid personality honestly #I don't think she's any less interesting or well rounded just because we're mainly shown that side of her #plus I say she's soft spoken but she also curses the gods when Sergei dies and immediately thinks of looking for Lady Ilona to bring himbac #so we could say she's also resolute and very quick thinking #also I was thinking of Tatyana as a general concept at first but then I remembered they completely changed her in 5e #so her dyamic with Strahd is obviously different cause they also knew eachother before Sergei arrived #because god fucking forbid 5e Strahd to fall in love with a peasant I guess #in the beautiful world in my mind I often forget I Strahd isn't the 5e canon oof #this post was brought to you by the Taty Appreciators Gang #not art #curse of strahd #strahd von zarovich #ravenloft

Hey all! Cutting in on zine-posting news, I wanted to share an interest check for another project I would like to try out! I know our little fanbase loves those animatics we see people upload on youtube, and I wanted to organize one! I always have so many ideas for animatics, but I hardly have the energy to create one myself. I used to LOVE doing MAP(multi animator projects) back when I was a kid, and have always wanted to do them again someday....

This form has a bunch of song suggestions I've come up with, but also a section for you to suggest your own. I'm not sure how long I'll run this form--just until I get enough responses to be happy I think.

You do not need experience creating an animatic to participate once I get the ball rolling! Ideally, I would love to run multiple of these as to give everyone a chance to participate. (that being said feel free to steal this idea!)

I've also created a playlist with song ideas, incase you want to listen to any!

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

- She's the Count wife. She has power over Vesuvia as Countess. At the end of her route Lucio himself says that Nadia WAS ruling at his side and even creating new rules and taking decisions by her own. So she wasn't powerless. I suggest you replay the chapters in the Hierophant domain.

- She COULD have divorced Lucio any time because she was never his prisoner and he was killing civilians anyway as a daily routine. So again, other excuses.

- The magical coma was a consequence to her escaping reality by coming to the arcana realms over and over again through the years. Literally abandoning her people to take depression naps. She's 100% responsible for her own coma which is literally a metaphore for her inaction.

- Nadia's family starting a war against Vesuvia would have created other issues but it might have liberated it from it's tyrant, which is an obvious improvement. So at best we could discuss of how the whole Satrinava family is also guilty of being complicit in Lucio's dictatorship by being silent about it, now that I think about it.

-Nadia only gets rid of Vlastomil once he turns human AND only at the end of her route when the courtiers have already revealed themselves as demons. Volta stays even if just in another position and Valdemar and Vulgora go away on their own. So she literally gets zero merit for this. She pretty much doesn't do shit in that regard.

la wiki dice che il distretto allagato è così da un sacco di anni e continua a peggiorare a causa dell'innalzamento del mare just fyi

Grazie 👀

[bluehairperson]

altro punto a sfavore dei Nadia defenders che vorrei precisare in quanto persona allagata irl: la bro è tanto brava buona e misericordiosa mentre Lucio e Valerius sono brutti e cattivi come se lei avesse fatto qualcosa per il quartiere progressivamente sempre più allagato 💀

tbh di questi tre quello con cui ce l'avrei di meno è Valerius per il semplice fatto che il poveraccio è praticamente salito al potere overnight ieri l'altro e nelle situazioni presenti di allagamento è difficile fare qualcosa (l'acqua è ormai alta in molte case, si può evacuare e cercare un modo per arginare i metri d'acqua)... ma in passato sarebbe stato facile sia prevenire sia gestire la situazione in letteralmente qualsiasi altro modo...

Spero abbia senso quello che sto dicendo perché è difficile metterlo a parole 💀

Ammetto di essere un po' arrugginit sull'argomento, ma specificano mai QUANDO nella timeline avvenga l'allagamento del distretto? Nel senso se durante Lucio o dopo la sua morte? Potrei sbagliarmi ma ho dei vaghi ricordi di Nadia al Lazzaretto che parla di come Valerius sia stato corrotto (da chi non si sa) per non sistemare delle infrastrutture. Ma appunto non ricordo benissimo, quindi non commento oltre.

Comunque sì, Nadia è comunque un'omertosa di merda. E se Valerius fosse effettivamente corrotto sarebbe un altro punto a suo sfavore come regnante per non averlo calciorotato fuori dal palazzo.

#shocked pikachu face quando il tizio che si è fatto il culo per gestire la città in tua assenza #e a cui parli di merda dietro ti fa un colpo di stato perché sei oggettivamente una scansafatiche #no va beh assurdo gasp #ammissione cringe ma ogni tanto mi arrabbio perchè tumblr mi mette letteralmente i nadia stans che fanno post anti lucio nella for you page #cioè mi imboccano proprio non li vado a cercare e scrivono delle boiate allucinanti stra ipocrite #quindi per sfogarmi scrivo dei post oggettivamente veri ma piuttosto verbalmente aggressivi e poi non li pubblico #quindi ora ho nei draft tot post corti ma super infiammatori su nadia e niente vorrei postarli perché lol così imparano ad essere tossici #ma al contempo non voglio la scocciatura di avere americani chronically online che mi intasano le note #quindi immagino non ne varrebbe la pena uffa ecco #asks

Her apathy and inaction towards what Lucio was doing is exactly what makes her guilty.

She's not a little baby with no agency, she's a 40 yr old woman that had just as much power as her husband. If not more, since she is the princess of the most powerful and rich monarchy of the area. If Lucio was so unreasonable she could have asked for a divorce and gone back home. She could have asked her family, said very powerful monarchy, for help. But she didn't, because asking them for help would have made her feel inadequate and inferior to her sisters. Instead she stayed silent and took naps.

She could have fired the Courtiers one by one and kick them out of the castle once she woke up from her coma. But she doesn't. She just complains about them without ever doing anything as if she has no power even after Lucio's death.

#I think it's kinda infantilizing to speak about her like that #nadia's whole character revolves around not doing anything and literally raising to the role only at the end of her route #which is fine but that's literally the point she sucks because she didn't do anything to stop her husband #when I first started the game I was sure Lucio's killer had to be her #because there's no way you stay married to a man you hate without doing anything if you're not planning to kill him right? #wrong apparently she's just dumb #character discourse is stupid and I'm too old to have discussions like this but saying nadia is a poor baby makes me angry askodahs #I've seen the most unsufferable takes in my for you page by people claiming moral superiority for too long I swear #we're all biased towards our faves but at least be honest about them lmao #powerful monarch that pouts like a child when things don't go her way is actually the most oppressed person on the planet come on #nadia is a very interesting and realistic character but what makes her insufferable to me is how she whines about everything all the time #without ever taking action or facing the right consequences for her inaction #or for just being plain rude honestly #like that scene in the prologue where she comments that people here are really ineducated for her standards and they don't read enough #hmmmm probably because they have to work while you can sit your monarch ass on the couch and take naps whenever you like #if valerius had said something like that the game would have commented negatively by pointing out the classism and elitism but nah #nadia can do no wrong uwu baby girl yas kween #HMMM the workers of this city destroyed by my tyrant husband's cruelty a flood n a fckng plague epidemic are not finding the time to read!! #she's so fucking stupid oh my god #long post #I don't want to keep reblogging this pls I could rant about her non stop I don't want to 😭 #discourse

Nadia was the tyrant's wife and never raised a finger to stop whatever he was doing, tho. So definitely not "not a criminal" I think.

Ohh, that's so cool! It also makes sense for Strahd to not know some of these customs since he came to Barovia as a foreigner!

My players are about to head to The Dinner™. What do you think of my seat disposition?

#I didn't even think to look for eastern customs on the matter damn I'll definitely do it #I did made some research but in my language lol #italian etiquette wants the man of the house to sit at the end of table with the most important female guest at his side #usually at his right #but ladies guests should also never face the door of the room with their backs so I changed her to his left #the lady of the house must be sit on the opposite end of the table with the most important male guest at her right #which is ismark but the seat is obviously empty #that said the rest of the seats should alternate men and women and separating couples by making them sit opposite from eachother #and other extremely specific stuff regarding age and importance of guests #I don't know how international these rules might be or if they're specific #but literally who cares I'll just go with whatever looks the best #and I also agree that the table could be longer #reblogs
