Okay so I've seen watcher rtgame headcanons before, and I've recently seen some interesting concepts for him as like a card game god based on his balatro streams. And anyways do you all remember that good omens quote about god not playing dice with the universe.

This one ^^^

Yeah.

#what I'm saying is why not both. #you are playing poker with a man who is not mortal. who has more power over the universe than you ever will. you know this. #you've bet against him. the stakes are high. and you both know he already knows the outcome. he is looking at you with too many eyes. #he won't stop smiling. like the game is friendly. meaningless. maybe to him it is.

In today's letter, Holmes *checks notes* casually bends a bent poker straight again... while talking.

And Watson's like 'yeah, that's normal'

#letters from watson #Holmes has super powers #In my experience it's way easier to bent something out of shape than bend it back into shape #but what do I know #I've never bent a poker

60(???) days until Charlie...??

#mira draws stuff #fate charlemagne #charlemagne #fgo #fate grand order #fate extella link #charlemagne countdown #I strongly feel that he would be disastrously bad at poker #you look me in the eyes and try to tell me that man can keep a poker face #he would give it his best shot obviously because people who can maintain a poker face and win are cool #but he's also simultaneously so easy to read he loses every time #anyways the FGO Poker thing was so fun it inspired me to do another pic for April Fools #hope you feel lucky!! because this ain't happening again <3 #EDIT: THE ONLY EXCEPTION WOULD BE IF HE'S PLAYING AGAINST KARL #THE POWERFUL DESIRE TO TROLL HIMSELF IN A LOW-STAKES ENVIRONMENT WOULD ABSOLUTELY WIN OUT OVER ANY SORT OF REASONING #Karl would conversely be excellent at poker due to all his years of experience and royal dignity (read: Imperial Privilege) and all that #Except when facing Charlie because the irritation at Charlie trolling him would throw him off his game #Karl: HOW DO I KEEP LOSING TO YOU??? Charlie: *smug knife cat.jpg*

whenever i need a laugh or a smile i go back and watch the early bells hells episodes. like pre-bassuras was such an insane vibe for an adventuring party and the shit they got into? unparalleled. truly just a collection of guys doing shit and sometimes experiencing consequences. and then bassuras came down on them like the fucking sword of damocles. i hope that one day, when this is all over, bells hells will still travel, doing dumb shit and fucking around like they once did for lord ariks eshteross. i hope they find that peace once their questions are answered, but i don’t know if a quiet life is for them. i think they’d just continue on, continue to scheme, do incredibly chaotic shit for forever. just let them throw parties, root out government corruption and little shade creepers every once in a while, and pretend to be ghosts, that’s the proper bells hells post-campaign enrichment plan

#cr #cr3 #the idea of a level 20 party just doing dumb shit forever rather than accepting places of power in the world is so funny to me #and SO hells. the level 20 cleric is just a fuckin robot who meets up with his gun robot partner and they eat muffins together #and also the level 20 cleric’s best friend level 20 barbarian continues to get into bar fights for some fucking reason #and then their level 20 fighter friend has to go bail him out but also ends up getting drunk but in a fun way #meanwhile this werewolf blood hunter and incredibly terrifying fire druid lady have been cleaning out a local casino #and there have been rumors of a terrifying flower girl haunting the poker floor #a level 20 sorcerer and a level 20 bard have a nice little game of chess together #and all is right in the universe #so in conclusion fuck you ludinus da’leth you’re in the WAY of my HORRIBLE GREMLIN FUTURE

My favourite part about bsd is how natsume's true power is just being a really nosy cat who has to get on everyone's metaphorical lap

#trying to mass tag my drafts and finding this and actually march 1st me was right #because seriously natsume was alluded to being this incredibly powerful ability user super secretive etc etc #and hes just a cat #i mean that is how cats can be like but....hes just a cat #who communicated with dazai via a sardine #he's just a poker of noses into other people's business and thats really beautiful of him #bsd #bsd natsume #character analysis #humor #spitting nonsense

i think sometimes hokuto sends the higher ups holiday cards or flowers. thank you for helping me unlock my potential <3

#opal.txt #it's a power move. #thank you for helping me unlock my potential (and removing the only person who could stop me from burning everything to the ground. #if you involve me in your world again you will live to regret it.) that part is implied. #but then hokuto's like KISSESS have fuuuun #and goes back to cheating at poker

there's something darkly funny about arthur sr slinking out of the house all self-pitying after tommy tells him to get out and then more or less teases arthur that he lets tommy walk all over him and needling his resentment towards his brother. so much about that ruthless manipulation and punishing viciousness he exhibits towards arthur is just ... looking into the mirror and not being really happy about it.

#what an absurd father character #an awful person but so *weak* #also what are the odds that their mother chased him out of the house every so often with a fire poker lol #it actually asks an important question about tommy's relative power and control in the family #how much does he have? what emotional and physical leverage does he have over his *father* (over arthur)? why is he 'obeying' him like that #and tommy knows he can't keep him out of the house and subsequently avoids going there as long as he's in town #and indeed their father returns when it suits him #''quite something you've become'' = ''last time i saw you you were still the family freak what the fuck happened here?'' #and tommy's disappointment is still there. he's wary and uncomfortable with him but that sentiment was pretty honest regardless #and it gets to his father because he very much looks guilty (or at least embarrassed) for a moment

was seeing some tumblr post about wage stagnation and cost of living increase

you know I was feeling a little bit of “should I be ashamed?” about myself for not sticking with 1 job for more than 2 years (a combination of circumstances, the fields I’ve worked in, mergers, etc) and not having a Career but then I remembered that in the process of my skipping around I have on two occasions doubled my prior salary (not an exaggeration) so like

#cyborg lifeblogging #money #I’ve also downgraded sometimes #cuz I tend to take whatever comes my way that seems tolerable #also to be fair I started at just above minimum wage tier lol so doubling was not an insane achievement #but #god that one job when I was doing the exact same thing as two years prior #and salary negotiation came up and they tried to get a number out of me and I was like hmm quote me something you think is fair :) #and the moment the quoted a number that was legitimately Double what I had been paid before for basically the Same shit #that moment when I maintained a poker face was my best acting yet #the urge to go ‘DUDE’ was so powerful man #but I was just like. ‘hmm that seems like the right ball park’ #on god never ever let them get you to quote the number first #and then after they quote the first number haggle up #for salaried positions. it costs them money to do interviews and shit by the time they are giving you an offer #they Want you. they’ll probably give another five or ten grand per year #especially!! for skilled work #I’m not really good at negotiating tbh but when I’ve done it it’s been so worth it #like it depends on the field (government work is a different story) #(shit is locked on a pre determined pay scale) #(and hourly work tends to be more rigid) #but anyway

@meowgiciann replied to this post:

Hold hands bc captain hawkins need the toe bean treatment after a tiring day

There are few things more powerful than the healing power of the beans. Hawkins is refreshed, though he makes sure not to hold them for too long as the claws could come out at any moment in an act of mischief.

#meowgiciann #Poker Face (Dash Games) #Gazing Into the Crystal Ball (Dash Commentary) #Short of a Full Deck (Crack) #Temperance (Faust) #(the power of the beans is a compelling force) #(Hawkins very much appreciates it)
