You know what I hate about modern mice? how pointlessly anti-repair they are. I have had plenty of mice break over time, and often it's just that some fluff or skin-flakes got wedged in the mouse wheel or under the buttons. You just need to open them up and clean them. Except.. where are the screws?

OH THERE THEY ARE. under the little skid-pads, which cannot be put back on once you take them off, because the adhesive has been ruined! You have to buy replacement pads, if they're available, and maybe cut them down to size, as well as clean off the residue of the previous pads.

You know how this problem could be fixed? JUST DON'T PUT THE PADS ON TOP OF THE SCREWS!

Then you'd have no problem. Easy to disassemble and clean.

But then it'd look 5% uglier because apparently people are scared of seeing screws, and also people might not just throw it out and buy a new one!

It's the terrible sort of weird planned obsolescence that happens as an almost accidental side effect of improving the product. Like, ball mice? They were designed to be disassembled. You didn't even need a screwdriver! Because you had to clean them regularly, or they'd gunk up too fast. Modern optical mice? They still get gunked up, the buttons and wheel still die eventually. They can be cleaned and repaired. But now that it's not required for all of them to be cleaned regularly, that function has been removed. they're designed to be disposable.

The same thing happened with TVs way back when. If you open up a TV from the 50s (or just look at the back, honestly, many of them were designed to be always-open), you'll find a schematic showing where all the tubes are and what models they are. Was this because the 1950s was a golden era of reparability? NO! it's because they burnt out all the time and you had to replace them! As soon as TVs got reliable enough that replacing tubes was no longer needed, the schematics became hidden behind paywalls and for authorized-service-personnel-only.

It would be only a minor change in aesthetics to make your mouse repairable/cleanable. Hell, most of the time when it's not simply fixed by cleaning it, it's because one of these broke:

This is an Omron D2FC-F-7N microswitch, used in a bunch of mice. It's designed to last about a million clicks. With a soldering iron and some solder (like 25$ on amazon) you can trivially replace it. New switches cost between like 10 cents and 2 dollars, depending where you buy it and how many you want. A couple bucks of parts and half an hour's worth of work, you can repair a 40$ mouse that's "died".

But they make it unnecessarily hard with the slide-pads being unreplacable. You have to find ones that match, you have to carefully clean off the old residue with IPA, or the new ones you just bought will fall off. All to make it look SLIGHTLY better (how often are you looking at the aesthetics of the bottom of your mouse, exactly? (no furries are allowed to answer this question!)) and maybe, just maybe, to push it over into "not worth it". You could do all that, but you have to buy new switches, new slide-pads/mouse-feet (SHUT UP FURRIES), and can you remember where your solder even is? you last used it when you were trying to fix that keyboard...

Basically one thing that is maddening to anyone with the very basics of electronic knowledge (seriously: the amount of skill you need for this is the kind you can get in less than an hour from watching a youtube tutorial) that we're surrounded by all this electrical nonsense that will break and have to be thrown out, but is mostly breaking in ways that could be fixed in a very short amount of time with relatively little work.

It's infuriating to go on amazon to buy another damn mouse and it pop up "hey you last bought this in 2021, you fool" and you're like I KNOW, IT SHOULD STILL BE WORKING TODAY!

I have computer parts from the 80s in my room right now that are still working when stuff made in the last 5 years is already dying! There's no reason it should be this way. It's an endless waste of time and money and resources and it's just to make some logitech or whoever executives slightly richer.

It's deeply bullshit. The modern day is going to be identifiable as the geological layer where most of the trash was generated. We're living in the middle of the quisquiliarumferous period: the layer of garbage.

“The hellhounds originated from Gluttony and Beelzebub created them that’s why she looks like that. She’s suppose to be like the animal tamer of Lucifer’s circus.”

Okay but like Viv, none of that is made clear in your actual show. People had to actively ask if she was suppose to be the one and only Beelzebub and now your relying on Twitter fans to make theories on why your characters look certain ways or are allowed to do certain things, people who don’t follow you on social media aren’t gonna know shit about how this world works. I like subtle world building and hints, and I think the ideas of Beelzebub representing an animal tamer is fun (even if wrath makes more sense to me), but when the rules of how the hierarchy system and rings work is already so confusing and relies entirely on you looking it up online it just looks like you wanted to make another random furry design. Why are hellhounds represented by gluttony? We were never shown an instance of this before and the episode doesn’t even say that they’re in the gluttony ring at the start (which is just another Earth with a yellow sky this time how creative).

I’m not saying I want the show to spoon feed us everything, but just a little context and set up in the actual show instead of random things just happening all the time with no explanation would be nice? Like yeah it might get explained more later on in Hazbin, but why then did you make this entire spin-off show come out first taking place in these other locations and with these demon lords if you weren’t gonna set the ground rules of your universe for the audience? That’s exactly what’s causing people online to scramble to come up with explanations for you about why you have discrepancies like Tex and Beelzebub not being a big deal but Stolas and Blitz are, your relying entirely on diehard fans to wave away your shitty writing and world-building cause you never take even a single moment in your show to have a character say anything that would clew us in on how it all works. There’s too much exposition in writing, and then there’s never giving any so you just have to make guesses or listen in on streams to figure out what society your characters are even suppose to be navigating.

Also for the “A bee/fly would have been unoriginal and ugly, she doesn’t have to follow the Bible lore” people, have you considered the fact it’s just a messy design? Like I don’t even hate it on it’s own, she looks really pretty in the fanart I’ve been seeing. But putting aside the fact she’s just a wolf/fox girl, she has so many unnecessary markings, her actual hair combined with the honey hair looks so unnatural and awkward, the bug traits don’t stand out, her outfit is basically only a slight redesign of Loona’s and as people have pointed out makes no sense on her chest with the supposed undershirt. You just can’t tell what your suppose to be looking at when you first see her, it’s just noise, which is fine for an oc, but this is an actual animated show where your suppose to be communicating something. The problem isn’t she’s not fat, I’m glad they didn’t do that for her in a show with everyone else skinny it would’ve read bad, it’s that she only stands out because they slapped bright colors neon colors onto her, nothing about this design is clever. It’s just pretty aesthetics, no substance.

Also I’m sorry, they could’ve made her entirely a bug and still have been hot, why are people assuming we are saying she should’ve been ugly when we say we wanted a more insect-like design? I’ve seen loads of gorgeous bug designs for Beelzebub, people aren’t disappointed cause she’s hot they’re disappointed cause it makes no sense.

You all know what time it is, time for the review for the most hyped up episode since The Circus!

The Good

Vortex

Vortex, as always is the best character in every episode he's in. As always he's pretty chill and nice around Loona treating her like a person and he's really nice with his girlfriend Beelzebub. There is one scene of Beelzebub talking about fucking Satan despite the fact that she views him as a brother and Vortex just doesn't say anything..and lets Beelzebub say it.

This is honestly reminding me a little bit of Rent a Girlfriend, I really fucking hope they don't make Vortex into a cuck because that'll make me lose respect from the writers and Beelzebub. Not so much Vortex because idk what the hell he's even going to do against Satan when he finds out Beelzebub sleeps with him. The most he could do is leave Beelzebub.

Gluttony Ring

The Gluttony Ring looked pretty creative, it's my 2nd favorite one behind Wrath Ring. Why is it my second favorite? Because the atmosphere and the setting a little bit looks more like Earth than it does Hell. And the location where they're at just looks like a bee-themed tropical beach instead of fucking Hell. This is probably the last thing I would think of when I think of "Gluttony Ring in Hell". It's pretty, but it isn't something I'd imagine that Hell would have. Also, why is it that some places in Hell look fucking disastrous but other places in Hell look like oasis? Is this supposed to be a place where Sinners suffer or just Earth 2.0? We don't know and Viv doesn't either.

Animation

The animation in this episode is pretty solid and looks good which is expected for a Helluva Boss episode, but there are some times when I find the animation to be really weird.

In the beginning of the episode, it shows Demons partying, but doesn't show their full appearances just silhouettes.

And in the same timeframe, Loona and Tex outside has different shading, but once they're inside the shading instantly changes and they have thick black lines around their body. Making their characters not fit with the background. And all this shit happens in the first 47 seconds of the episode, holy shit.

Viv did say that this episode was supposed to be "A grand visual spectacle" but the only grand visual spectacle was the Cotton Candy song which took a significant chunk of time from an insignificant episode.

Yeah, there's not much I actually liked in this episode, so let's move on to the bad.

The Bad

Beelzebub's Design

I don't have any problem with Beelzebub personality-wise. She's cool and surprisingly nice for one of the Seven Princes of Hell. Vortex really does have good taste in women..aside from her wanting to fuck Satan. But I can dismiss that as a joke and pray to God that it doesn't actually happen.

But what I do not like about Beelzebub is her design which I know damn well the animators didn't get paid enough for animating this.

Nothing from this design tells me that this is Beelzebub. I was completely confused on whether or not this woman was Beelzebub until I saw the credits. Beelzebub is depicted in Demonology as an insect, not a hellhound variant. A lot of people and I assumed that Beelzebub was going to be a bee due to the Bee Aesthetic in Gluttony, but we just got Jay Jay recolored and with four arms with miniscule insect aspects.

The second reason why I hate this design is because it's not creative at all. This design without a doubt was heavily inspired by Jay Jay, but it wasn't just heavily inspired it's literally copied and pasted. They copied Jay Jay, gave her Loona's legs, recolored her, added so many unnecessary details, and called her Beelzebub. Looking at Beelzebub and the other furry characters that Viv designed in her past you can see that there's little to no difference between them.

Beezlebub's design reminds me of how video game characters have alternate skins because her design is literally Jay Jay but recolored and with added cosmetics.

Or how in Injustice: Gods Among Us the yellow costume for The Flash is Reverse Flash but he still looks identical to the regular Flash. So different personality, but the same skin just recolored.

My third reason why I don't like the design is that Beelzebub's insect features are so miniscule that you can easily miss them. The only insect like features she has are the bee wings, four arms, and antennae in her eyelids and ears. Aside from those, there's nothing else. Now when she increases her size, Beelzebub does have bug like eyes but again that doesn't really say much.

My fourth and final reason why I don't like the design is that Beelzebub has so many unnecessary additions to her design that it looks pretty overwhelming but at the same time distracting. What was the point of giving her a lava lamp stomach? What was the point of having honey levitate from behind her? Why is her fucking eyeliner dripped as if she cried? I'm most likely going to do a design comparison with another iteration of Beelzebub, but yeah those are just my thoughts on her design overall. It's lazy, but also somehow overcomplicated.

It would fit more if they made her into Cerberus instead of Beelzebub as Cerberus is a three-headed hellhound in the Gluttony Ring of Hell that likes to consume a lot. This design is more fitting for that to me.

Kesha voicing Beelzebub

Kesha voicing Beelzebub was a weird and bad choice not because of Die Young, but because Beelzebub represents what Kesha was running away from in her past. For those who don't know Kesha had a persona called Ke$ha who she describes as a "front for her emotional pain". And there are a few things that conclude to me why Beelzebub and the persona Ke$ha are nearly identical. They both overindulge in partying and drinking since Beelzebub represents overindulgence in those two things and many other things, but that was a really toxic lifestyle for Kesha to go through. There are two differences between the two characters that being Beelzebub also overindulges in eating but Kesha in the past had an eating disorder. She couldn't indulge in eating because as she says "I convinced myself that being sick, being skinny, was part of my job" and having Beelzebub a character who can overindulge in eating but still manages to stay skinny and thin is insensitive and unrealistic. The second difference is Kesha had to go to rehab in order to stay away from all of that and most likely doesn't partake in those anymore while Beelzebub doesn't have to.

Simply put Beelzebub represents the persona Ke$ha and not the person, the same persona that Kesha used to mask her emotional pain and had to go to rehab to fix. I am fully aware that Kesha is an adult and she can make her own decisions, but having someone voice act a character who represents the persona they had in the past is really absurd and stupid, especially on Viv's part.

It's likely that Beelzebub will never appear again or will have a different voice actor. Because Kesha being involved caused legal issues that took almost two years to resolve. If Beelzebub does return then I think she'll be voice acted by her singing voice actor Rochelle Diamante or someone else entirely.

Cotton Candy

After listening to the Cotton Candy song multiple times, I've come to the conclusion that this song is ass. It's not even intentionally trying to be bad either that's the worse and funnier part about it. The words "Cotton Candy" takes up 1/3 of the song, there's an entire video called "Cotton Candy, but only when they say Cotton Candy" and it's 1 minute long.

My problem isn't with the singing the singer behind this is fantastic, but my main problem with this song is the lyrics and beat. This song sounds like a bootleg version of Die Young, I know that was intended by Viv but that doesn't mean the song is good. The lyrics rhyme "Cotton Candy" with "Cotton Candy" Whoever was writing this song just needs to stop.

Also, why is the song about Cotton Candy and not Honey? Beelzebub does have a bee aesthetic around her so wouldn't it make more sense to have her sing about honey. It's sweet and addictive

This video perfectly summarizes my thoughts on this song

Loona barely has a spotlight

Loona was hyped up exponentially a couple of days before this episode came out. From the voice actress stating that she'll return to voice Loona while striking a pose to a Loona plush releasing not too long ago.

While I don't believe Loona was hyped up for this episode in particular she was still hyped up regardless and this episode was assumed to be a Loona-centered episode...that is until Beelzebub. Beelzebub stole the spotlight from Loona due to her character reveal being the sparkly song it was and a lot of people liking her design due to it being flashy.

Even a couple of days after the episode's release I still see more people talking about Beelzebub than Loona, regardless of how I feel about this character Beelzebub stood out more than Loona did to me. It's amazing that Loona was sidelined in her own episode

Slight Tonal Issues

There are some tonal issues with this episode particularly in the middle and near the end. So in the middle of this episode, Loona walks out of the party wanting to leave feeling as if she didn't belong there.

When Blitzo was going to leave, she gets flirted with by some other hellhound and that's more than enough to convince her to stay. So apparently, Loona getting hit on allows her to become less insecure and more sociable. Jesus Christ

Near the end of the episode, Loona places Blitzo on his couch after pouring him some water then all of a sudden Blitzo suddenly has a sad moment saying that he'll die alone old and wrinkled.

I gotta add if you don't want to die alone then stop treating people like shit Blitzo.

But anyway, this scene really just comes out of nowhere because Blitzo didn't express any problem with what happened at Ozzie's before he went to the party. I understand he was drinking all of his pain away but it still felt weird and forced to me.

Then after Loona calls him "Dad" for the second time in this episode, Blitzo suddenly just puked for the sake of comedy...

Jesus Christ, even a filler episode has tone issues. Oh yeah, speaking of filler episode.

This episode is meaningless

This episode isn't a direct continuation of Ozzie's nor does it affect any future episodes. Viv stated that Ozzie's is the true season 1 finale and that this episode is a "grand visual spectacle"

So all of this is just meaningless and what reinforces this is Loona's behavior. Loona went from her taking care of Blitzo to even calling him dad to straight up physically and mentally abusing him just because he wanted her to be nicer to the clients. Seeing Stars takes place at least a few days after Queen Bee so there's literally no reason for Loona to even act like this.

Raises more questions than answers

This episode like all of the other ones in Helluva Boss raises more questions than answers. Hell, I'll even say that it doesn't even answer any of the questions I had. Beelzebub can literally make food from nowhere, so what's even the point of Wrath? Why is Tex and Beelzebub dating good, but Stolas and Blitzo dating isn't? How many abilities does this Beelzebub even have? Does the food she make has any side effects on those who consume it? Like there are so many fucking questions but NONE OF THIS GETS ANSWERED.

At this point, I will be really surprised whenever one of the major questions that the fandom has actually gets answered. Because I'm getting tired of this.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this episode really meant nothing and despite it not meaning anything I didn't like it. Especially Cotton Candy, that song sucks, I don't know why they didn't use Silva Hound's "Monster Ball" it sounds leagues better than "Cotton Candy" plus it's more fitting since Demons are monsters. Anyway, thank you all for reading and I hope you all have a nice day!

The Winternight: If you catch their eyes. (Boys)

Pyotr Vladimirovich (if you like DILF's):

Pyotr will always love Marina, his first wife. We have to live with that fact. He will prefer that you do not physically resemble Marina or that you do not remind him of her in any way, and if you do, he will find it hard to get over the memory. Pyotr is a good man, with a good heart and proud of his family. If you treat his children well he will keep his arms open for you and you will be one of the family.

Nicolai "Kolya" Petrovich (I know he's married and he has a son, let's say that he's single):

First you have to be someone who stands out from the crowd. Beautiful or with good attributes. He looks at the body first. He will openly flirt with you, and probably torment poor Sasha with endless flattery about you. He'll get a bit angry if you don't pay attention to him.

Aleksandr "Sasha" Petrovich (aka Aleksandr Peresvet):

Sasha has probably never noticed anyone. You will be the first and therefore special. Someone brave, fearless who can follow you on your adventures. Be patient with him, the boy is a bit restless and quite reckless. He is clumsy in giving affection and will feel bad because he would be betraying his vows as a monk. Patience and more patience. Especially with his more conservative side, don't worry. Eventually he will understand that you don't think like him and he will respect you. But he will be faithful to you and would live and die for you. You respect his freedom and his desire for adventure. If you are lucky he will take you with him on the horse.

Aleksei "Alyosha" Petrovich:

He will love you with all his heart, he will be afraid of losing you as he lost his sisters (who left) and his mother. He will want to keep you close and protect you always. He will understand everything you tell him and will always listen to you. Good match, good husband, good friend. He will be sincere with you, he will like to have little moments in the woods and fields.

Dmitri Ivanovich (I know he's married too):

He will see you behind his wife's back. His heart is with you. He will look at you first for aesthetic reasons, just like Kolya, you must stand out in his eyes in any way you can. Get her attention. Sasha probably knows about this, but he will have to turn a blind eye. He will let you call him Mitya (his childhood nickname). He'll give you expensive gifts, he'll show off in front of you a lot to show off and impress you: Dmitri Ivanovich, your heroic prince in shining armour. He will show you his snake-hilted sword, his skills, etc.

Konstantin Nikonovich:

Obsession, obsession everywhere. He wants you and now, now and for him. The toxic blond of the novel has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. First he will feel guilty for thinking about his priestly vows. Little by little he'll get over it, he won't need you to convince him like Sasha. You'll get his attention no matter what you look like, just your personality and if you're a witch, you've got him. He may try to abduct you and harass you a bit. If you want to stop him, call Medved to control him.

Medved:

If you are creative, sing well, paint well, or are good at some kind of art or activity of some kind you will catch his attention. The same way Konstantin did. He will chase you until you leave to a place where he can't follow you (Death). He's going to pick your brains and manipulate you a bit, but deep down he'll care about you. And if you die, he will mourn for you and miss you. He'll be the monster in your wardrobe (literally because he's gay/bisexual) or under your bed if you want. His bear form is furry, he might let you sleep on top of him if you let him.

Kasyan Lutovich:

YOU DON'T WANT THIS GUY TO LAY AN EYE ON YOU, believe me... Just frienzone him and if he gives you problem call Vasya.

Morozko is not here, because here we respect our Queen Vasya.

When we're having a conversation about the aesthetic part of fat liberation and we talk about fat people and fat bodies being beautiful we don't need allies to assign some special category to fat beauty, as a sub-genre of straight sized beauty.

I'm developing an allergy to the word cute. I hate the infantilization of 'soft tumby'.

Fat bodies and fat people are beautiful in the same ways collarbones sticking out are beautiful, in the same way sunkissed skin is beautiful, in the same way long hair and sleek cuts and buzzcuts and braids are beautiful. Fat people are not a separate category of beauty pigeon holed into infantilized 'cloud-pillow-soft-cushion' aesthetic.

And that's the problem, you have to start seeing fat as part of every aesthetic and every individuality and every subculture and every genre of beauty you can think of. Fat people cab be elegant and dashing and charming and fierce and fatally attractive and chic and ethereal and feral and punk and goth and athletic and business fucking casual.

When you search for plus size beauty inspiration you still find so little representation. You see fat people shoved into soft cartoon tumby aesthetic or the fucking rockabilly. Everything else is still for thin people. By era, by ethnicity, by subculture, by region, by activity, by genre - no matter what style, art, fashion, aesthetic you search you will find a bunch of thin people drowning everything out.

You have to start seeing fat people as icons, muses, fashionistas, femme fatales, goth elves, cyberpunk hackers, fantasy heroes, secret agents, fairy tale royalty, forest witches, athletic hikers, sleek assassins, angels and demons and feral creatures, gods and vampires and werewolves and superheroes and community leaders and protectors and politicians and furries and literally whatever you personally find beautiful can and should include fat people in it. And if you only find any of those things beautiful when only thin people are involved, well then... You have some questions to ask yourself.

Otherwise this is going too slow and going nowhere. If there is going to be 'beauty' and 'fat people beauty' that's the backhanded compliment 'you're so beautiful for a fat person' elevated into cultural norm. Soft tumbys have to stop. Thighs like pillows have to stop. Unless a fat person presents and welcomes this, don't default into that.

Fighting for being seen as beautiful is not the main fight for the right to exist and survive, but media and art plays a crucial role in dehumanizing fat people and excluding them from public view, in internalizing fatphobia into yet another generation. It has to be challenged.

Heart of the Weave - A Baldurs Gate Fanfiction

Chapter 5

After about two miles, the waves of nausea begin to hit me again, but I am trying to pull through because I don’t want to feel like a burden. Oddly enough, I never usually feel like I am a burden, despite all the insanity we’ve gone through. I proceed to puke on the ground violently and unexpectedly, feeling much worse than I did before. I clench my stomach with my hands, retching and feeling miserable as hell. When will it ever end?

“Well, that’s not good. Are you okay, soldier?” Karlach asks with clear concern in her voice. I take a deep breath, realizing how starving I am after the horrid vomiting and lack of food in my system. As I bring my body up from the violent retching, I can feel shakiness throughout my nerves and bones.

“I’d be lying if I said I was doing alright. Can we camp? I want to attempt to eat.” Gale and Karlach exchange glances of extreme concern, but then look back at me. Shadowheart and Wyll begin to set up camp so everyone can rest, in hopes this will help me at least a little bit. I hope we’re closer to Baldur’s Gate than I thought, but only time will tell. I close my eyes to take some deep breaths, and all I can visualize is Orin in my face: Death. Blood. Carcass. Skulls. I will split you open and inhale your scent to cure my hunger. I will drag you down back to the Hells and feed on you until you beg to die over and over again. I jump, wondering why her image just showed up in my mind. I think trauma is visiting me again, causing my anxiety to skyrocket and it could be the reason I’ve been so violently sick.

As they set up camp, I sit down to gain the strength again to walk. I sit down by the campfire, and I begin to reminisce about Owlbear and Scratch, who are both living peacefully with our friend Halsin. I keep thinking about how much they played and how happy they were living alongside us. They were more suited to stay with a nature-loving elf who has all the time in the world rather than in a tower with us, though I do hope I get to visit them soon. Believe it or not, those two furry creatures saved my life multiple times.

Gale sits down next to me by the cozy campfire, handing me a pork roast and some potatoes to eat. The cackling of the fire relaxes me, nearly putting me to sleep where I sit. I finally feel my brain ease from tension, relaxing as I stare at the delicious food in front of me.

“Here, I hope you can eat. You need to fill up that stomach of yours,” he says. I managed to take a few bites, which ended up turning into the entire plate. After eating everything handed to me, I begin to feel like a brand new person. Maybe I just need to eat frequently. If that’s been my problem this entire time, I will lose my mind.

“That…helped. Thank you.” Gale smiles, wrapping his arm around me as I drink my water. “Whew. I actually feel great. Thank the Gods.”

“If your only issue was that you were hungry… Well, that’s valid because it’s the same for me,” Karlach says, shrugging. “I’m not me when I’m hungry, though I’d like to say I’m not nearly as dramatic as you are when it comes to food. On that note, I’m so glad that helped you.” I stand up, not feeling nearly as shaky-legged as I was before, and I am actually able to pay attention to the lovely scenery around us. The campfire brightens up the sky, making the area calming and aesthetically pleasing.

“I’m so glad my baby is okay. We still need to figure out what’s going on in those innards of yours though,” Gale says. Shadowheart gives him the stink eye, squirming at the word that makes her feel extreme discomfort. I can’t help but burst out laughing at her disgusted expression.

“Ew, Gale, do not say ‘innards.’ That word gives me the heebie jeebies,” she says. Of course, Karlach has to chime in with her outburst of saying “INNARDS!” Wyll and Shadowheart both roll their eyes and sigh, though Wyll is very much aware of what he signed up for.

“Well, I’m still breathing, despite everything,” I murmur, taking a deep breath as I begin to feel more myself again. “Though I’ve had some very close calls, including today.”

“Well, between the mind flayer tadpole, Astarion biting your neck, Ketheric, Orin, and Gortash, I’d say it’s a damned miracle you’re still alive. Thank the Gods, though.” Wyll has a point. I’m lucky any of us are still alive. Karlach and Gale both had extremely close calls, between her engine nearly blowing up and Gale himself blowing up from the netherese orb.

Gale and I lie down in our tent, curled up but yet comfortable. The sound of crickets chirping is somewhat comforting to listen to as I lay here attempting to sleep. They bring back some sort of nostalgia. It’s been awhile since I’ve had to camp; I’m so used to our bed at home, embraced with our thick, suede comforters with a sleek pillow underneath our heads. As I fall asleep in Gale’s arms, I feel his fingers brush my hair out of my face, relaxing me. He knows how to make me fall asleep with ease, and it’s something he does every night. When he’s anxious, I play with his hair and run my finger down his bare chest delicately.

“Sssh…” he hushes, admiring me as I begin to fall into the deepest of slumbers.

When morning arrives, we immediately get up to pack up our camp and head out. Luckily, we don’t have too much farther to go, but we are rushing through the area that was once the Shadowlands. Maybe on our way back we can admire the new structure and pay our respects to the tieflings that lost their lives trying to find refuge in Baldur’s Gate. As we are walking along the trail, a loud rustling noise is heard behind the bushes nearby. It doesn’t sound like a small animal but rather someone is in hiding, keeping tabs on us. Not the first time someone is being sent to spy on me.

“What the Hells is that?” I ask, looking around us in hopes I can figure out what it was. Could it be a goblin? Maybe what’s left of the Absolute cultists? Surely not, because I remember wiping out all those predatory assholes.

“I swear, if it’s Astarion playing pranks on us, I will lose it,” Karlach chimes in. “I hope that’s what it is, at least.”

“Well, unfortunately he can’t be out in the sunlight or he’ll burn into a crisp. Silly Karlach.”

“You got me there!”

The person – erm, a half-orc – reveals themselves as we try to press forward and to our surprise, they appear to be an unfamiliar face, with nothing but a raggedy white shirt on and ‘face paint’ on their face that seems to be made of blood, resembling the mark of the Absolute. Oh Gods, here we go again.

“Oh for fucks sake,” Karlach groans, leaning her head back as the orc approaches us. I take a few steps back, trying to observe their body and face, making sure I haven’t seen them somewhere before.

“Whoa, uh, who are you?” Gale asks, positioning himself to stand in front of me. The orc’s nostrils flare as they look around the area, as if they’re trying to locate something – or someone – specific. I notice his fists clenching, causing the veins in his arms to bulge through his green flesh.

“I’m looking for…” His voice is deep and ominous, giving me the creeps immediately. He spots me and points directly at my body, giving me a grim smile and knowing damn well who I am somehow.

“Oh Hell,” I say, groaning under my breath. Karlach approaches the orc with a pent-up body posture in an attempt to intimidate the guy, but he doesn’t seem to be a bit threatened.

“Not one of you fucking clowns. We killed your ‘God’ or whatever it was, what else do you want?” She says, growling under her breath. She may be a goofball, but she can also be terrifying to get entangled with. The orc looks at Karlach, holding back laughter. There appears to be some sort of secret he’s hiding, or maybe he’s part of another cult. I study him, noticing a sort of anger hidden in his eyes, or maybe a hunger for control.

“That was just one elder brain. You think there aren’t more? You think this will ever stop? It’s far from over, you ignorant fools,” he growls, getting extremely defensive. “I ought to rip your brains out of your thin, delicious skulls and eat them for dinner tonight unless you submit to the Absolute.” Wyll whispers in Karlach’s ear.

“Is this guy on something?”

“Damn, I really am more trouble than I’m worth apparently,” I say followed with an irritated sigh. This isn’t the first time I had someone demand my presence, nor is it the first time someone is trying to convince me to join their cult.

“No, don’t say that please,” Gale says. “This guy is just delusional. Clearly, there’s no more Absolute and he’s just off his rocker. Though, he does look like he’ll pound our faces in with those angry fists of his. They’re rather beefy.” He appears to be a barbarian like Karlach, judging by his muscles, rage, and the battleaxe on his back. As his nostrils continue to flare, he looks fed up and impatient, ready to attack any second.

The orc tries to charge at me, but Karlach bludgeons him in the torso with her warhammer, causing a massive indention in his stomach and knocking him several feet away from us. He lands on the ground, causing dirt to rise up in the air from the intense impact of his body. He groans loudly in pain, but continues to move regardless. Blood drips from his body as he tries to stand up from the ground. He gets back up on both feet and charges at her like nothing happened, knocking her over on her back in return. Gale then uses the Magic Missile spell, which hurts him pretty badly, and I can tell by the look on his face and body posture that he’s contemplating on giving up. The man looks much tougher than he actually is, lucky for us. He stands up once more, looking defeated but proceeds to glare at us with a disturbing look, his eyes shifting to a blood-red, hungry for blood. It’s as if he’s being controlled, and I don’t doubt it because I have seen this look before. What source is taking over his mind?

“This won’t be the last of me,” he threatens, his voice somehow deeper than before. Wyll then performs Eldritch Blast, causing him to fly back several feet; this time, he didn’t stand up. His deceased body lies there, a necrotic energy escaping every orifice.

“Oh Gods,” Shadowheart says, “now I’m afraid to see what’s going on in Baldur’s Gate now. Hopefully we won’t come across more trouble like that again.”

“As unfortunate as this sounds, it appears someone got ahold of the crown that was given to Mystra,” Wyll chimes in. This just changed everything entirely, leaving us horrified at what’s to come next. Could it be that Mystra could not handle the crown? How could a goddess, especially the Goddess of the Weave, not handle such a powerful artifact? Who would manage to take such a powerful item from such a demanding, potent deity?

Super Lesbian Animal RPG Review (spoiler free)

(copied from my steam review)

While I'm tempted to just make a one sentence "sounds gay I'm in" review and call it a day, I genuinely feel like that would be a disservice to everything I experienced with it.

Point by point, starting with music, I loved everything about this game. The music has a retro FEEL to it, without being straight up chiptune. It's very relaxed and pleasant most times, which makes the off kilter and upsetting sounds of some of the more important dungeons all the more impactful. The battle themes hit hard, character themes hit all the right notes. Absolutely no complaints.

The writing is incredibly clever, and overall just entertaining. In my opinion, the best way to make a compelling original world is thus: no matter how ridiculous the world may seem to us on the outside, everyone inside of it should treat it seriously. Because for them, it IS their reality. While the dialogue is very cheeky, and genuinely funny on frequent occasions, it never feels like its shattering your immersion to look into the camera and go "would you get a load of THIS nonsense?" The characters are believable and grounded despite living in a world of magical multicolor furries, and their relationships and dynamics feel real enough to make you care about them. At no point did I go out of my way to speak with someone or investigate something and come out disappointed. Every additional dialogue path and optional conversation was a treat, and the lore and worldbuilding felt fantastically well thought through.

Mechanically, while it is a very Classic style turn based RPG at its core, it feels like it does just enough unique with its additional mechanics to add depth without becoming obtuse or hard to grasp. Everything is simple to execute, without being boring, and even at max level I found myself mostly engaged with even common endgame enemies. Not much more to say here, but I truly enjoyed the gameplay without getting bored of fighting enemies, and never felt the need to grind.

The art direction is additionally truly gorgeous. I played at fullscreen for the entire game, and while initially it might look a LITTLE bit fuzzy compared to playing on its native windowed resolution, I genuinely don't think it hurts the aesthetic much. Everything is cohesive, vibrant, and overall the entire game has a very cozy look and feel to it. I am a resident Desert World Hater and this one was a treat to explore and discover. If you have a problem with the character designs, then I recommend you reexamine your personal biases and yank the stick out of your rear. Same can be said for the "Lesbian" element of the game. It's in the title for a reason.

My only complaint, cliche as it sounds, is that there wasn't more of it. Ultimately a roughly 30 hour adventure for me, playing to 100% completion. But I don't think your dollar equates to your playtime, so this was hardly a concern. Would I have liked to have gotten another 10 hours out of it? 20? Double that? Obviously, I'm in love with this world and cast. But what I did get was a tightly packed, neatly made gift of an experience start to finish.

This is easily in my top 3 games of 2022, by a wide mile. It's criminally cheap. Do yourself a favor, get it, play it, enjoy it, let go and let the world take you. To simply say "it's worth it" would be an understatement, and I look forward to anything else this creator presents in the future.

i'm not really a monster high fan; like, i don't really know anything about the shows/movies or anything, but earlier, while i was shelving at work, i got to thinking about how various cryptids might exist in the monster high world. so. i’ve now decided to make it everyone's problem.

"the daughter of the cactus cat:" a little southern sweetheart. she'd be super hospitable and love hugs but bc she's covered in cactus spines no one wants to get too close to her. she wants to be a doctor (bc aloe is a healing succulent ik it's not a cactus but i think it's close enough shut up). she has long curly hair and there's little pink flowers stuck in it. wears a lot of leather/cow hide to protect others from her prickles.

“the child of the fresno nightcrawlers:” i don’t really have a personality for this one bUT! the doll form uses the little sister body type (bc the irl cryptids are quite short) and they have prosthetic arms (bc the irl cryptids have no arms). maybe they’re really into robotics, but they use little robots they've made to play pranks on the other students (since the irl cryptids are largely explained by skeptics as being an elaborate joke/hoax)?

“the daughter of the fur bearing trout:” okay this one’s really silly but – consider – raver lake monster (bc ravers wear those furry leg warmers and hats). i know you’re thinking, “there’s already three djs in monster high,” but she’s not a dj, she just dances. also, if there’s three djs but no raves we need to balance things out. her color palette is mostly silver, red, and white, but there’s some rainbows thrown in for both the raving aesthetic and bc fish scales are kinda iridescent.

“the daughter of the reptilian chupacabra:” she’s really into filmmaking/media production (because the description of the puerto rican chupacabra is based on a movie creature). she’s the cousin of the canid chupacabra and they’re besties! their dream career is making a cooking and fitness show together.

“the son of the canid chupacabra:” he’s kind of a jock and very popular (i have a reason for this but it’s kinda esoteric so sorry you don’t get the explanation here). he likes to cook but mostly consumes fitness smoothies/juices (since chupacabra means goat sucker). ironically, he’s a vegetarian.

#yes i'm personally offended by people calling the cactus cat a cryptid yes i'm including it the duality of man #anyway it's time for monster high on main ig but does this even count. it's just cryptidposting really #rachel rants #how do i tag this

My name is Chai! 😁

So I'm moving here from Twitter because one of their new policies that they've implemented today that crossed the line for me. I mean... I'll still be posting there but I ain't paying to share my other social medias.

I'm Keana/Chai and I'm a digital artist and I've been doing art for nearly 12 years now. I do tons of fanart and oc art but will dabble into other mediums like crochet, sewing, pottery, etc (I have Adhd lmao). I also do commissions! Thay will be an entirely different post though so stay tuned.

That's all I want to say, but if you wanna know more about me...

I play video games too! You can find me on Playstation and PC. I mainly play Genshin Impact, but I also have tiny obsessions with Pokémon, any souls game (DS1, DS2, DS3, Bloodborne❤️❤️❤️, Nioh, Elden Ring, etc.), Monster Hunter, and a lot more. I also JUST got into Destiny 2 so...

I am also a ✨️weeb✨️, but I don't watch anime that religiously anymore (Again, I have Adhd). I do enjoy Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, DBZ, Inuyasha, and a few others. I just started reading the manga for Chainsaw Man but its been on and off.

Now, for my very specific obsessions for those who are interested (Or characters I've simped for lmao).

Tartaglia from Genshin Impact

Dude had me in a death grip ever since I played his character in his story. Like, at first I loved his playstyle. Then I started loving the characters personality. It definitely didn't get better since I've gotten him for the first time and it wont get better cause I recently C6 the motherfucker. Fuck this guy, I love him so much.

Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen

SPOILER FROM THE MANGA

I SPECIFICALLY love this dudes backstory. The way he learns how to fucking heal himself after getting stabbed in the throat, his annoying cocky attitude he has during a fight, he's a little piece of shit that I love so much. I haven't been simping for him recently, but with the new season coming out (WHICH IS HIS BACKSTORY BY THE WAY) it just might come back. I also bought a $200 figure of him. Worth every penny.

Dragons

Yes, I have been called a furry/scaley multiple times. I will deny it. I've been in denial for years now. Dragons are just the coolest things though. Shenron? Dude grants wishes, he's cool as fuck. Zhongli? My guy is an ex-archon and his backstory is badass. Every single Dragon type in Pokémon? There's a 90% chance they'll be in my team even when they're NOT dragon shaped. Jormangundr, Kukulkan, and Tiamat in Smite? Yeah, I main them, and yes they're all diamond. Point being, dragons are fucking cool.

"Kawaii"/Japanese Aesthetics

Pink isn't my favorite color, but it is a color I like to wear. Sakura blossoms, cats, Torii gates, tea, etc. Yeah, I'll happily vibe with it. Animal themed clothings (Bear ear berets, Cat ear beanies, Frog hoodies) an absolute MUST. I almost bought Hello Kitty stuff multiple times cause it was cute.

So yeah, that is me. Pretty sure I missed stuff but oh well. 🤷‍♀️ Hopefully I'll adjust well here, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. If you somehow reached to the bottom of this post while reading everything, I'm very fucking impressed. So I guess 2023 is me officially starting this account up.

I'm going to preface this post with this: I do not hate and do not wish for anybody to harass any of the new animation meme creators. They are, as far as I have seen, mostly minors, and I only want them to improve. This is a personal opinion that you can easily not share with me.

With that out of the way, what's the deal with this decade's animation memes?

I'm asking this as somebody who, you could say, grew up on late 2010s AniMemes. Yes, it's not exactly as valid in some eyes than somebody, say, watched AniMemes from earlier, but I digress

It's pretty much a fact that previous decades' animation memes could be split into two categories, and both are still equally popular: dancing ones (Posing, Fashion, Smile, Kasane Territory, etc.) and storytelling ones (recent Darkside, Crash). Now, I'm not saying that these didn't have any loops and/or tweening, as the first type is almost fully comprised of it. And, of course, they could be combined to showcase a character's story or main traits through loops in music (like some older AniMemes by sir fluff, or their Beach Episode meme) (other examples: Melody, There's Something Wrong, Something Has To Happen, I Hate You, etc.)

However! Now, I see... an... alarming(?) abundance of the same type of animation memes, that being an aesthetically pleasing furry character tweened to some daycore'd or nightcore'd loop, sometimes having shapes show up over their face and maybe a limb/tail dragging out paint over the wall. If something out of this seems familiar, that's because you've probably seen it, as YouTube pushes them in recommendations quite frequently

Now, do I have a problem with new AniMemes appearing? Of course not! But there are a couple of things that make me feel a bit concerned/weird:

1. As far as I've seen, most of these new memes are made by kids, possibly influenced by trends on other platforms. I don't have a problem with the kids on YT themselves (I am one, c'mon), but I do wonder if the sudden influx in audience and the overwhelming amount of support is stressful to some degree. And it is the internet, after all, not everybody is going to be overly positive about the work

• Note: I am glad that cringe culture is dying, and that the internet is becoming a more welcoming place ^_^ But too much of anything can be detrimental. Obv, hate brings a lot more wounds, but nobody has excluded paranoia from the idea of people faking positive responses out of pity or as a mean-spirited joke. Another thing is that it looks more like a trend than anything, that will fade away eventually. Along with animators' popularity. Yeesh

2. Speaking of work, while I don't want to insult beginning animators, but... it's a bit stagnant, don't you think? Yes, half if not most of 2010s AniMemes, as I've said before, consist of tweening for most of the video. But not to the degree where almost each and every new meme is a character standing in place and moving their arms up and down maybe lipsyncing. The old AniMemes were a big inspiration for me and still are, because we all can see the varying styles and effort put into them. The new ones... Only feel it for. like. three — I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend, Punk Tactics (as a silly edit loop) and Pass The Dutchie.

3. Related to my previous point: lack of variety in general. Yes, AniMemes should be somewhat easy to create, but since the music in them [2020s ones] is a simple loop with little to no jumps in tone, and the ones I've describes get tons of views and comments, then why bother? You can't get very creative with a song that could be playing unnoticed in a speedpaint or in a grocery store.

Let's take Chime meme as an example of prev-gen AniMeme music: its start could be used for a simple title card, but could also be used to introduce a jokey conflict, a set-up. Next, we have a drop, low-voice "Do you wanna feel?", and two loops, which can be filled with anything

Unrelated, but I used to think said "Do your magazine", when thinking about an AniMeme with Ink Sans making a magazine for Error Sans... you know, as an artist.

Which makes me now realise that it's kind of a perfect example: one part of music makes you think not just of what the original meme did, but of different scenarios, branching and branching, conveying emotions and how you view your OCs. With the new memes, I see a bunch of pretty OCs created solely for the looks with not much story. Which is acceptable. If they have character. And, unfortunatly, I haven't seen much new-gen memes that convey what personalities these OCs have

You won't be perfect when starting out, but improvement is inevitable. You will either do it unconsiously or wish to do so. And sometimes, you need to see what others have done before you to get that push in the right direction

JUST because some draws gore aesthetically, artistically, or as vent art doesn't mean they're fetishizing and or sexualizing it.

It says a lot more about you as a person than them if you somehow see an amputated person and think, that's sexual somehow, even if it's just some horror version of a fictional character. Someone having a special interest in a fictional character and making it they're whole personality doesn't raise eyebrows, but suddenly it's a gore based character design or something controversial like a "Loli" and suddenly according to everyone around the person is sexual.

Even if the person who has that special interest and makes it there whole personality isn't trying to actively or intentionally fetishize or sexualize the character in anyway. People can like controversial designs in ways that is normal and not weird, healthy even. Like what people can interact with controversial media in healthy ways without shouting on the Internet that they do every five fucking minutes or without running around and bashing people they perceived as NOT doing so???? Wow. Hard to believe, am I right????

Depicting Gore in art has been a thing people did for like centuries now, go back to the classics, go to a museum, free digital ones and even prerecorded tours exist for free on the Internet. Arts up for interpretation and it rests solely on the viewer to make up their own outside of the artist though of course the artist is free to come up with their own. Culturally a lot of very significant pieces of art- written, drawn, sculpted, etc. are infact NSFW, gore or sexual alike, or generally what people consider to be pro-ship by todays internet standings.

Whether because they were "products of their time" or were infact the then equivalent of Dead Dove Do Not Eat, an example being a lot of Greek mythology was meant to be infact NOT glorify the gods, but rather paint then in a very crude and human light, they weren't meant to be better than humans- they were meant to be worse, yet meant to be respected and feared for their powers over various aspects of reality.

So if you are looking at gore and saying "this is somehow sexual and the artist has a fetish" be my guest, but it will always say more about you as a person than what it says about the artist. Especially if your assumptions are accusatory first and foremost, but also just fucking wrong period, because that means your the one who has to explain why you came to the conclusion why you decided the artist was intentional trying to sexualize and fetishize gore when they were, infact not.

Also whether someone is pro-ship, anti, or comp, literally doesn't matter unless in shipping fandom discourse. Because I don't see it anywhere else on the internet, fandom spaces where shipping is king and little to nothing else matters.

So in conclusion: literally doesn't matter if LostSilver likes well, Lost Silver. If that's their blorbo then the rest of you fucks can just fuck off? Are they shoving the character down your throat and forcing you to see gore all over the discord and site? No? Then there is no problem.

Also if you have beef with anthro furry people then you probably should have people wanting to fuck mothman and Bigfoot because anthro/humanized furries have more in common with bigfoot and mothman than your pet dog. Yes, I'm calling Bigfoot the native American mythologic cryptid. A furry. I mean, he's just the furry version of a chimp in visual appearance, right? Yeah. Bigfoot's a fucking furry. Fuck you.

How To Get Rid Of Spiders From Your Home - Natural Ways

The spider can cause serious health issues and also be a nuisance in your home. As you may know, that spider helps control other bugs in your home, like mosquitoes, bed bugs, etc., but still, they can be a serious problem if left untreated. If you're looking for natural ways to remove spiders from your home then no need to look for harsh chemicals or pesticides.

No need to look anywhere else than your kitchen. Some stuff could be found in your kitchen pantry; try to use them to make spiders leave your home.

Why Should You Keep Spiders Out Of Your House?

Fear and Phobias

One of the primary reasons individuals want to keep spiders out of their homes is fear. Arachnophobia, or the fear of spiders, is a common phobia that affects many people. Creating a spider-free environment provides a sense of safety and peace of mind for those who experience extreme anxiety or panic attacks in the presence of spiders.

Allergies and Bites

While most spiders are harmless to humans, some species can deliver painful bites that may cause allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Symptoms can range from mild irritation to severe allergic responses. By keeping spiders out of your home, you reduce the risk of encountering these potentially harmful spiders and minimize the likelihood of bites and associated health issues.

Aesthetics and Cleanliness

Spiders can create unsightly cobwebs in your home's corners, windowsills, and other areas. These webs collect dust and contribute to a generally unkempt appearance. You can maintain a clean and visually appealing environment by preventing spiders from entering your living space.

Sleep Disturbances

For those who fear spiders or have a general aversion to their presence, the thought of sharing a bedroom with these eight-legged creatures can cause sleep disturbances. The fear of spiders crawling on you during the night can lead to insomnia, anxiety, and a decrease in the overall quality of sleep. Keeping spiders out of your home helps create a more peaceful sleep environment.

Prevention of Spider Infestations

Allowing spiders to inhabit your home freely can lead to potential infestations. Spiders reproduce rapidly; a few individuals can quickly multiply into a population. Controlling their entry into your home can help prevent larger infestations, which can be more challenging and time-consuming to address.

Peace of Mind for Children and Pets

Children and pets are often curious and may inadvertently come into contact with spiders. This can lead to accidental bites or stings, which can be particularly concerning if venomous spider species are in your area. Keeping spiders out of your home ensures a safer environment for your little ones and furry friends.

Home Remedies For Removing Spiders

Peppermint Oil

The strong scent of peppermint oil repels spiders. Mix a few drops of peppermint essential oil with water in a spray bottle and generously spray areas where spiders are likely to hide, such as corners, windowsills, and doorways. Repeat this process every few days to maintain the scent and discourage spiders from entering your home.

Vinegar

Vinegar is a versatile and readily available ingredient that can be an effective spider repellent. Mix equal parts of water and vinegar in a spray bottle and spray the solution in spider-prone areas. Additionally, wiping down surfaces with a vinegar-soaked cloth can eliminate spider trails and deter them from returning.

Citrus Peels

Spiders dislike the strong scent of citrus fruits. Save the peels from oranges, lemons, or grapefruits and place them strategically in areas where spiders are commonly found, such as windowsills, closets, or entryways. Replace the peels every few days to maintain their effectiveness.

Diatomaceous Earth

Diatomaceous earth is a powdery substance made from the fossilized remains of marine phytoplankton. It is harmless to humans and pets but can be lethal to spiders and other insects. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth in areas where spiders are likely to travel, such as cracks, crevices, and corners. The sharp edges of the powder will pierce the spider's exoskeleton, leading to dehydration and eventual death.

Chestnuts

Believe it or not, chestnuts can serve as a natural spider repellent. Place a few chestnuts in the corners of your home or areas where spiders frequently appear. The chemical compounds present in chestnuts are known to repel spiders.

Essential Oils

Certain essential oils are known to repel spiders due to their strong scents. Peppermint, tea tree, lavender, and citrus oils are effective options. Dilute a few drops of your chosen oil in water and spray the solution around windows, doorways, and other entry points to create a barrier that spiders dislike.

Go For A Professional Help

If you have a consistent problem of spider infestation, then it is best to reach out to professional help like Blue Star spider removal service. They will help you remove all the spiders from your home and will ensure that this infestation doesn't come back.

Conclusion

Dealing with a spider problem doesn't always require chemical treatments or professional intervention. Implementing these natural home remedies can effectively deter spiders from your living space while creating a safe and eco-friendly environment, or hire an exterminator service Manassas.

Remember, persistence is key, as some remedies may require regular application to maintain their effectiveness. Embrace these natural solutions and enjoy a spider-free home without compromising your health or the environment.
