#LIKE NEXT LEVEL CURSED

[astronomodome]

manifesting zed into the life series by listening to the crane wives full discography and associating each one with him

#if nothing is canon everything is. #canary in the coal mine is him bc he could die first sadly #curses is him bc he could go on a killing spree and then die. badly #tongues and teeth is him bc something lgbt could happen with tango and they pull a desert duo together #that one meme that’s like. I can imagine anything. #next level brainrot happening here #astro speaks

sometimes you gotta take in the lil details

#non sims #i'll come up with a skyrim tag #in my tes era again #(always i just go sleeper agent on it ig) #still in my modding skyrim era i'm sick so that's not v conductive to me actually playing morrowind so this is what i've been doing #sad bc nammu made some good progress he joined house redoran he's actually level 3 and somehow keeps invading every vampire tomb #(i run away bc i cannot deal w that right now) #his slave bracers finally broke off <3 #i'll compile some screens and post tomorrow maybe #i truly am the people todd coward thinks about when bethany esda is concocting the latest installment of weird ass lore told through #environmental storytelling and esoteric books and an open world crafted with meticulous detail cursed with bugs up the wazoo #but yeah modding skyrim is being surprisingly fun after i figured out mod organizer #i have bookmarked some mods that require me to regen lods dyndolod or whatever it's called but i'll do that at the end #at least in morrowind that's how i do it #i did my engine fixes my bug fixes my graphics and sounds overhauls my model replacers enb landscapes and now my cities and locations mods #armor next and then i'll start overhauling combat #i'm gunning for dark souls like bc that combat style suits me rly well and i always hated melee in skyrim #(re: armors sforz i looked at your imitations previews and i'm in love i'll have fun experimenting w/ them i owe u my life) #but yeah...... 99% of my skyrim experience has been in ps save for a brief moment i pirated it on release on my shitty laptop i had then #it's been wonderful to actually mod it

[perenlop]

thinking abt how eve and i (technically eve both times while i was the vessel i guess) have been accused of falling for "fanmade edits" when trying to explain the pmd lore despite literally pulling from official sources (like... the literal games) you can easily verify for yourself. what is this curse we've been dealt.

#like thats gotta be next level denial its literally just ''.... nuh uh.'' #and its over such minor stuff too like ''these characters arent siblings'' or ''chatot is not just stealing money for kicks'' #like... you cant fight us. we're autistic. we're obsessed with all the little minor details this franchise puts here and there #im still like in awe over that last one like. ''um that looks fanmade actually.'' you can... check the game....... #echoed voice #anyways why does eve have this curse specifically why does everyone just turn off their brain during his posts #he also got the weird comment abt watchog being endearing while chatot is abusive (and therefore explorers fans are weird) #at least i think it was him who got that. i think drake said it was me but i dont remember

Haven't had the chance to play actual dnd in real life, but In this run I get the sense that bg3 perfectly captures the "party progresses in a weird sideways way that bypasses tons of the dm's prepared lore, so the dm takes revenge by dropping a near impossible encounter on them" vibe I hear so much about

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #fun fact i killed minthara by dropping her down a hole #somehow didn't get the achievement for it though #smh smh jdjsjd #but yeah. ill talk spoilers in the next few tags so be warned #first it was the goblin camp where instead of even trying to talk to anyone i just went up to the hobgoblin at the very back and attacked #took a LOT of tries to beat that encounter #slowly cleared the camp from the inside out without even seeing a cutscene with minthara or anything nxnd rip queen or whatever #then you had the duergar camp or whatever that area was called #where i didn't even realise what the deal with the drow was im just like. oh im freeing those fucking gnomes. wait we're on time limit? #can't long rest? run out of short rests? damn guess it's a challenge run #so emptied that room of all of them before blowing up the rubble. then killed the guy inside without talking to him for more than two lines #lmao #THEN THAT GODDAMN FUCKIN ENCOUNTER IN THE CURSED AREA #which was glitched 4 me until i equipped torches and deactivated turn based mode for the curse before it started #now im over the area where that gold encrusted toll collector (?) is #which apparently has more health than Grym so uhhhhhhh #maybe need to level up before tackling that #long story short im making bad decisions <3 gods bless easy mode

This is a really interesting panel with the developers at Summerfall studios, giving some cool insight into how the process of making the game worked! it helped me put some words to the thing I maybe loved the most about Stray Gods -- the way that every single character in it feels very deeply loved, in all their messiness and struggles and stuckness, all the way from the writing to the art to the music. They're very different but all feel like they were somebody's favourite character, and it's nice to hear that that seems to be because it's basically true lol

Austin Wintory also has some great videos on his channel breaking down the nitty gritty of how on earth you make an interactive musical that works, as well as looking deeper at different songs and explaining things like why there're four official versions of the soundtrack (!)

#stray gods #summerfall studios #Youtube #resources #david gaider has perfected the art of creating characters and stories that burrow into my brain specifically forever #and I can only thank and curse him for it #I'm super looking forward to what this studio does next there's clearly SO much amazing talent here across the board! #I wonder if they'd do a sequel. my brain says they probably shouldn't but my heart says GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!!! #you could give me lore on the level of like... the guest list for any divine family dinner party at any point in the last three millennia #and I would eat it up ravenously. I'm laughably easy. I just want more of these characters haha #stray gods may be one of those games best served by being a standalone unique thing...... but im not gonna lie I CRAVE more of it haha #every single little unaccounted for detail I come across I am going full always sunny conspiracy board meme at the figurative camera

[dollfat]

i know height doesnt matter but i still feel weird having all my companions look down at me, and karlach has to take a knee to kiss me. not my fault dwarves have objectively the sexiest bodies

#*delirious with list* shadowheart i need to borrow the ice staff right now right #maybe next level up i can learn an ice based monk ability #but i like the ones i have now #bout to get cursed amulet completing the ultimate monk fit #i know ill get better stuff like the cats grace gale will get the lightning fit #but i also kinda wanna keep this set the whole game lol #karlach is sooooooooooo cute i cant believe i waited so long to kiss her #i wanna do the camp scene a million times and hear everything she says #had a one night stand with lae'zel but broke it off just in case it messed with the act 2 scenes #astarian had the nerve to disapprove when i said im excited to sleep with karlach when i didnt even screw him this time #karl said shes good with poly but still #cant risk it #dove plays bg3 #LUST

living in tornado alley with a severe fear (recovering phobic) of tornadoes and general anxiety/paranoia... and its spring (or fall)(or any time of year) is... something

#i generally like living where i do except for the weather... #if i had a basement or a storm shelter I probably wouldn't be as scared as I get but the fact I live in an apartment... #at least i live on the bottom level and don't have any huge trees next to me or anything #and i know realistically im safe 99% of the time #just even a 0.00001% possibility has my paranoia SKYROCKETING #knowing about meteorogly and being scared of tornadoes is both a blessing and a curse #i am just.. dfkljghsldfj so scaredksljghkdfghl

[atleast15lemons]

I really want to be a player in a ttrpg campaign again

#16lemons #I'm DMing curse of strahd so for at least the next long as fuck time I'm the perma dm #not to mention I joked with the party about picking up Eve of Ruin to follow up Strahd so #3rd to 20th level campaign? more likely than you think #whenever they head back to ravenloft I want them to utterly wipe the floor with strahd #esp our twilight cleric who will likely fuckin solo the fight anyway by 10th level

[totallynotbot]

OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU ARE SO REAL FOR THAT. I AM BAYVERSE MIKEY HATER NUMBER 1 YE. ABSOLUTELY HATE HIM WITH MY HEART

@excali8ur

#i need more people to hate him #hes a curse upon Michelangelo name #and honestly hamato family #absolute disgrace #so is 2012 donnie in a lot of fucking moments #but like mikey is next fucking level #i hate his ass #i hate him #fr fr

[notimeliketoday]

Just thinking how Curse!Utahime as Gojo's curse companion is theoretically stronger than Rika.

#gojohime #iori utahime #gojo satoru #just saw a cursed spirit utahime on twitter ok? #got me thinking what if she's also like rika and attached to gojo because he intentionally cursed her #but she hates him for that #so fights break out from time to time #gojo too attached and got no regrets #it's just their usual banter #just taken to the next level #as far as he is concerned anyway

starting to think im a bard of void instead of being a knowledge class. i have the whole bardic crisis thing (oct 13 2013. sunday) the whole opposite aspect thing before that (Gifted Kid TM where part of my personality was bring smart. is very lightcore) and just how i seem to destroy everything i touch.

my aversion to lying and how terrible i am at it because its on a physical level in my body and i have to script it in advance (yes this is mostly autism) and not liking to keep secrets and being a blabbermouth. destroying void.

destroyed by void. getting FADED with weed. self isolation and most of my time being spent gaming or on the computer/phone. my awful terrible recurring dreams (dreams are void) that i have a fucking tag for. but the horrors have become almost mundane with how repetitive they are in my dreams and thats why i dont call them nightmares

#le p2iigh #the 'this classpect perfectly describes all my flaws' type of classpecter #no but my dreams are always like. im in school and i dont know why they wont let me drop out. #dont know if its college or What. but sometimes my former therapist is there. the one i had a crush on. #thats a thing i have with male mentor/teacher figures because of a Very Specifc Reason #other things that are always in my dreams. my dorm on the 3rd floor im always trying to figure out what clothes to wear whats clean #packing so i can go to the house that im living at that is specifically not home. wondering when i can go home to check on the cats #wondering why home looks so different its almost unrecognizable. my uncle is there. always. mom always has something Wrong with her #things being on fire near wherever im staying like next door across the street. most recently like the whole neighborhood. #not beating the doom player allegations with these descriptions. #heres more void coded things abt the dreams. being in/around bodies of water. theres one particular river i go to a lot its past some woods #the woods area separates the river and i walk upstream until i come across the widest part and the initial fork #theres always various Creatures in the water that im scared of. #this happens whenever im on the coast and in the ocean too. except sometimes theres stuff that wants to eat me #and thats not counting the kinnie dreams. either its ocean stuff that reminds me of being link. #or its like. i guess side order levels or something. and also more cursed than usual salmon run. on cursed stages. eels chasing me #(obvoiusly the agent 8 kinnie dreams) #my real life anxieties about the cat litter and taking a shower meaning i dream about having to do those things. #trying to find a place to lie down and sleep that feels comfortable for me but its impossible #thats. most of the recurring things in my dreams. my brain is tired and i interrupted myself doing Tasks for this. #i didnt expect to ramble about the recurring nature of all of these dream things. and obviously the tag is going here #adventures in losap #< the dream tag

Yep, the EPUB keeps the text formatting of the fanfic. It even keeps any photos included. Had to double check with one of my books on that one but can absolutely confirm.

I used to use the PDF option but the result is looking at a book with minuscule text. Wouldn’t recommend unless you have an ipad. Glad I could help! 💕

Keeps PHOTOS intact too??

Color me impressed! Thank you again for letting me know!

Also yeah I have done the pdf to ebook kinda thing and 🥲 -2 pt font is NOT the business! I don’t own an iPad or anything so that will never be a viable option for me I fear. LOL

#y’all so smart #I’m def keeping this in mind next time I troll ao3 for some fics #I haven’t read fics in so long tho ngl #kinda a curse of not really being in any fandoms like that anymore #now I just have interests and they’re super varied but nothing on the FFXV level I used to be on #anon ask

[starbuck]

I’m two days into planning this trip I’ve already added a new motivation for learning to drive: being able to drive the scary canyon roads so that my mom doesn’t have to.

#ideally i’ll have been driving for like a year at that point… i’d say that’s long enough to have learned how to drive in a straight line #and i’ll get in plenty of practice with the rental beforehand so that i’m sure i know how to handle her #i think i can do it #and if i think i can do it - i can do it #i am blessed/cursed with truly INSANE levels of hubris #which will bite me in the ass one day but has served me well so far! #i’ve done many many things that should by rights have been impossible just because i calmly told myself i could #so why not one more? #as soon as my cousin leaves next week i’m breaking out the driver’s manual and studying like my life depends on it #hopefully can take the test before the end of July… get my permit… start lessons ASAP #and get REALLY good so i can take the practical exam and get my full license within a month or two! #that’s the plannnnnnnnnnnnn #and then in the Fall i’ll do a bunch of Silly Trips around the area to get practice! #i’ll learn to deal with Ice (derogatory) #and then i’ll have nothing more to fear! #EXCEPT for scary canyons! #but honestly? more than likely my mom will say we just can’t go and i’ll end up in like. Texas instead 😔 #will have to make my own scary canyon trip years from now just to prove i can do it #but FOR THE RECORD - i can do it - and you all will SEE

[belauensus]

having such a rough couple of months that “the hot hand fallacy is just a fallacy” counts as a positive affirmation

#writing in my journal like “okay buddy just because almost every week this year has gone to shit so far doesnt mean next week will too” #told my therapist i think i need to see a witch/nun/witch-nun to check if i’ve been cursed and she was like. #‘unironically if you think that would bring you comfort I think it would be a good idea’ #so i’ve reached “my therapist agrees I should see someone about curse breaking” levels of continuous bad luck /j

[sukunas-wife]

Being Sukuna’s Pregnant Wife and being worshipped as a diety because you were able to conceive the four armed hulking cursed child, you must have the blessing of fertility

Having a shrine erected in your name because barren women believed you’d bless them with fertility despite your legacy starting with the child of the curse that torments them all

Telling your hand maids “Don’t bring me my clothes, bring me one of the kings robes.” The hand maids flinching and wanting to protest out of fear of taking the King of Curses robes

The poor naive young hand maid that had grown a crush on the king excitedly rushing if it meant she could enter the private bed chambers,

Scoffing with a malicious smile to your loyal maids when they shook their heads with Sympathy, they learned long before at such a request it would be foolish to go alone, at least 2 or 3 of them would need to go in your name, preferably the ones your husband recognized to be by your side the longest. But you didn’t like this new girl, she was too enthusiastic to work at the palace only to have a complete change in character when she learned she was assigned to work for you

“It’ll serve that poor girl right” you looked away from the door when your loyal hand maids brought out a wooden box with one of Sukuna’s folded Kimono’s they helped you dress your swollen belly accentuated by the belt the kimono tailored to fit your husband left you with extra space and length, it was far more comfortable then the Kimono’s and robes you were, the lingering smell of your husband with comforting as your rubbed your belly hands barely peeking from the massive sleeves

“Let’s go see my husband.” Was all you said as you started your walk, the maids followed close as you made it to the bed chambers, the door was open, you looked in, Sukuna sneering down at the girl laying in a pool of blood, Uraume was making quick work of the mess

Sukuna’s snapped to you and his arm’s opening in an unusual display of affection, you walked around the mess to reach him, he pulled you into his left side, one hand on your waist the other making you face him, bring his right hand up he rested his hand on your stomach “Some of your maids need a lesson on how to speak to their king,” he looked away from your face to your stomach as he started to move his hands in circles “So swollen with my child, it’s no wonder you send your maids to steal my robes.”

You smack his shoulder with a playful smile and he chuckled “Don’t say it like that you make me feel bigger than i am.”

“Now,” he looked up at your face again, “why are you here.”

You tilted your head to the side, “I started contractions this morning, I’ve been in pain all day and I’m barely standing, my new maid wouldn’t stop speaking so highly of my husband accomplishing having a child when I was at my worst pain level getting ready to push out YOUR child that I HAD to carry. Anyhow I came to get you because he is ready to come.”

Sukuna stared down at you confused “How do you know it’s a boy?”

“I’m his mother,” he watched as you placed your hand over his stilling his rubbing of your stomach, “I knew he was a boy from the day your seed took.”

Sukuna smirked “Is that so? Then let’s see this boy.”

🖤❤️❤️❤️🖤❤️❤️❤️🖤❤️❤️❤️🖤❤️❤️❤️🖤

After an hour of fighting the doctor tending to your birth you gave birth to your lively son, born screaming without needing stimulation to cry form the doctor. Your husband couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his child in his full glory, he was a boy indeed.

The help immediately gave you your son and you cooed at him when he took to your breast, your husband taking blankets from the maids and covered your son also covering you in the process as you struggled a bit to pass what came next. Your son a spitting image of his father, your breathy laugh caught Sukuna’s attention as he came back to your bed side stroking your hair and rubbing your stomach the way the help had been doing.

“What amuses you?” He watched his son slowly close his eyes as you coddled him closer.

“I’m the one who had to carry him for so long, and the ingrate took nothing from me.” You smiled and shook your head before looking up at Sukuna.

Soon the doctor left after clearing you of any possible issues and checking your son. “His name?” You looked at Sukuna and he sighed “Yuji”

The look of adoration in your eyes was something Sukuna would’ve wanted to capture forever if he could express the sentiment. However for now he’d settle for memorizing every detail of today. His wife birthing his first heir, the name she had chosen he permitted.

Maybe just maybe this world wasn’t so bad

[mossy-rock-in-a-field]

Several weeks ago, my retirement-age mother requested that I play Baldur’s Gate 3 for her because she has trouble with controllers/keyboards and wanted “to see what all the fuss is about with that cute wizard boy.” For context, my mother and I have done this sort of thing in the past with certain RPGs (dragon age, mass effect, etc.), but it’s been a few years since she’s personally requested a game like this. Basically, I control her Tav but let her make all the choices so she can determine how the story plays out without worrying about mechanics. She treats it like a choose-your-own-adventure book.

Anyway, here is a list of some of the things my mother has said and/or chosen to do throughout the course of BG3 in no particular order:

She is (obviously) romancing Gale. She is quite smitten with him and his passion for books and learning; she also thinks he’s polite and qualifies as “relationship material.” She also REALLY likes the things he’s said about his cat so far (my mom is a cat lady), so I know she’s gonna flip shit when we meet Tara in Act III.

She’s playing a normal druid Tav with a generally good alignment. Her favorite spell is Spike Growth because she thinks it’s hilarious whenever enemies walk into the AOE and die. I usually end up having to cast it at least once per battle per her request. Sometimes twice.

Contrary to her alignment, my mother tasks me with robbing every single chest, crate, barrel, and burlap sack we come across; this also includes people and their pockets. The party is always at max carrying capacity. ALWAYS. She doesn’t like selling things because “what if I need them.” The camp stash is in literal shambles. There is no hope of organizing it. She’s got like fifty seven sets of rags and a billion pieces of random silverware.

She MUST talk to every animal and corpse in the game. I think five hours of her total playtime so far (47ish) has been spent speaking to animals as many times as humanly possible. Like, I was thorough in my own playthroughs, but this is on a whole other level.

She did NOT get Volo’s lobotomy, but she did let Auntie Ethel take her eye in hopes of a cure for the tadpole. I did not understand the logic then. I still do not understand it now.

She is far more interested in fashion than equipment stats. Do you have any idea how much gold I’ve had to spend on dyes just to make things match? SO much. Same vibe as that “please someone help me balance my finances my family is starving” tweet but instead of candles it’s thirty thousand fucking bottles of black and furnace red dye.

We broke the prisoners out of Moonrise, but they got on the boat too early and bugged the fight by leaving Astarion and Karlach behind. Wulbren Bongle somehow got stuck in combat mode even after engaging the cutscene on the docks below Last Light; he he kept trying to run ALL THE WAY BACK TO MOONRISE nine fucking meters at a time while I frantically tried to finish the fight with the Warden, otherwise Wulbren would have run straight into the shadow curse. (I would’ve let him go; fuck Wulbren Bongle, all my homies hate Wulbren Bongle. But my mom didn’t know that, and she wanted to keep him safe. So.)

She had me reload a save like eighteen times to save the giant eagles on top of Rosymorn Monastery. Wouldn’t even let me do non-lethal damage just to get past things. I think getting that warhammer for the dawnmaster puzzle took us like an hour and a half alone. (Yes, I know you can use any warhammer, but SHE didn’t.)

She’s started keeping an irl notebook to keep track of her quests between play sessions. She writes down ideas and strategies when she thinks of them during the week, then brings them to her next game session at my house. I think she wrote about three pages on possible approaches to the goblin fortress alone.

She insists that I pet Scratch and the owlbear cub before every single long rest, no exceptions. Sometimes I have to do it multiple times until she is absolutely sure that the animals know exactly how much she loves and cherishes them. She has also commissioned a crocheted owlbear plush from a friend of hers and is very excited.

I’m sure there’s a bunch of stuff I’m forgetting, but those are some fun things I thought of. She’s enjoying the game and is telling all of her retired friends to get it and play it for themselves. She asked me “what is Discord” yesterday and I think my life flashed before my eyes.

anyway shout out to my mom for being neat
