no it's fine this mind flayer is totally my friend and 100% honest with me all the time it's ok it likes me everything's so normal

#bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 #i love how raphael directly calls you out on this. 'if id have known you were so gullible i wouldve tricked you into selling your soul for #a bowl of beans when we first met' #and then just keeps insulting you more if you keep insisting emp's really your ally #oc: impulse #sure this'll go in their tag #everything about impulse's Thing with the emperor is so funny to me. and then deeply fucked up if you think about it long enough. and then #really funny again if you think about it even longer #one day i'll do their 2.0 playthrough so i can fully form all my thoughts. and get better screenshots and the ceremorphosis ending #i mean there's nothing stopping me from loading an impulse 1.0 save and going ceremorphosis from there but idk it'd feel wrong #impulse has more tadpoles in their brain than synapses by act 3 and it does really fundamentally change them as a person #tfw your chaotic neutral act-first-ask-questions-never no-impulse-control 17 CHA bestie becomes one of the most detached calculating people #you've ever met. all their old casual wit and humor is still there but they think before they speak now and that really shouldnt feel as #sinister as it does. they have this look in their eye and it feels like they view everyone around them as lesser beings #not because they view other people as subhuman or worse than they are but because they view themself as something *more* #if they have any raw unfiltered emotion left you haven't seen it in weeks. there's one person(?) who gets Unrestrained Feelings privileges #and it's the fucking illithid that lives in their mind and not any of their actual non-monster normal-ish-person friends. that human #connection is fading so fast now. when did they change so much? it happened so slowly in the moment but suddenly now they seem like they #were never the person you became friends with at all #and like impulse is a pretty selfish person from the start but they *did* genuinely like and care about the rest of the party. they were #friends. and by the end of act 3 that friendship should be the deepest and most meaningful it's ever been. but. it just isn't. #so on and so forth etc etc like that. All That Bullshit makes their relationship with lae'zel so interesting (and upsetting) too #they encourage her to side against vlaakith and then they never even try to free orpheus for her and her people's sake. they never even #think about it. they never consider it as an option. they just don't care. and then they EAT HIS BRAIN. #very possibly RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. #and she's just left adrift. a rebel with no rebellion to lead and very little hope #i'm unwell. #ok i'm done this is a silly meme post. but god i have so many thoughts i have barely been keeping contained

#kirby #kots #kirby of the stars #kirby fanart #hoshi no kirby #meta knight #star allies #i think about the guest star final illustrations a lot #aside from taranza+magolor+susie being the peak team #like how was daroach+dmetaknight+Ado/Ribbon decided #who said yeah this is a banger make that team #because they were right #and i believe only Kirby would come up with such good combinations #i know guest stars aren't supposed to be canon and the main Kirby gang are the one who save the day but #Galacta also wasn't supposed to be canon and that has never stopped me #also someone asked on tags if kirby clash was canon and #oops magolor Epilogue spoilers i guess #so yeah the magolor from clash is just our Magolor who ended up on that dimension #read the novels for clash honestly I'll never stop recommending the novels #but it's also canon in game universe #meta knight is trying really hard to be proud of Kirby #Dedede would be unadulteratedly proud that's why he isn't here

one thing i love so so much about wyll is that he's an atheist, not in the sense that he doesn't believe in them, they are materially real in the DnD setting, but that he doesn't think they're worthy of worship "the only thing the gods have ever given me is a cold shoulder" it's so evocative, so poignant, it says so much about him as a character. and really, to me, encapsulates the essence of his character: there is no divine intervention, there are no miracles, there are only people, and for them he's willing to sacrifice more than any god ever would

#wyll #wyll ravengard #this is also why he's so attached to heroes like balduran and ansur regular people who achieved extraordinary things #and this is why i think his quest misses the mark of making him see the flaws in his heroes but not letting him come #to the obvious realization: no one can do it alone #there's no single hero who saves the day #you need a crowd you need the masses #the game itself reinforces this by having groups of allies to support the last stand #so to me wyll's character journey should be all about him realizing that real change can only be enacted by the people #but now we're probably getting too marxist for larian #but anyway to me that's the logical conclusion of wyll's character arc #and also why i don't particularly like the 'send him to avernus with karlach' ending #it robs him of agency and relegates him to a vigilante role that i'm a little uncomfortable with #i much prefer the duke and ranger endings

[arrowsperpetualcringe]

Ohoho

OHOHOHOHO

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS DIDN'T THINK I'D DO IT DID YA?

GUESS WHAT BITCH

I FUCKING DID IT

I MADE MY DREAM TRAINWRECK SETTING

WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS.

AHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

(help I spent a whole ass month working up to this.)

So anyway, here are the fruits of my labor.

First, a general floor plan of the train I’ve created.

Very elaborate, I know. Please, save your applause.

Anyway, next up, the train station I created!

it’s supposed to look all over grown and kinda reclaimed by nature, but idk how well i captured that.

ALSO there were supposed to be butterflies absolutely everywhere to sell that fact, but I some how managed to capture ONE (1) singular ass butterfly when I used the max butterfly effect on ALL of the- you know what it don’t matter, NEXT IMAGES.

going in order from front to back, first up, we’ve got the coach car.

Wow...

You can certainly....

sit there.

anyway

NEXT UP IS THE SLEEPER CAR

That’s the hallway. Mind you, this is animal crossing, and I can’t recreate everything perfectly, so I had to use a little bit of creativity. Incase you can’t tell what’s going on (which you probably can’t, it’s okay---) the shits on the side are supposed to be sliding doors, with curtains blocking the windows for privacy (I FAILED, I KNOW, BUT I TRIED DSFSG)

this is the interior to the sleeper car cabins (bathroom included)

NEXT UP, the  diner car

yep. you eat here. I lowkey highkey want them muffins and now im mad i don’t have any.

Next, the LOUNGE CAR which is my FAVORITE ONE that I made bc I LIKE IT

LOOK AT IT. OUGH. O U G H. this looks so COZY I wouldn’t even be sitting in any of the chairs my ass would be ON THE FLOOR with a BLANKET, SLEEP.

Anyway...

Last, but certainly not least, we have the Observation car.

I like this one a lot as well because lets be real, the best part of long train rides is looking out the window, and this car is all window.

HOUGH....

and that my friend...

is my offical... trainwreck train.

made especially for Mirror Image in particular.

Good god.

#Volo owns this train. #they helped someone back in the day start up a station but then it got ran down and went out of business #thus the station being abandoned and overgrown #the trains rarely operate save for when Volo wants to use them to travel #the train is empty. and aside from Volo Emmet and an ally of Volo's it will be e m p t y . #hehehe. HEHEHEHEHEHE #I'm so satisfied with myself #now. logically. does this make any fucking sense? #no #do I care? #also no #but it's MY fic and despite it being silly I worked hard on this!!! #/I/ like it #and i hope you all like it too #though i'd understand if you all were unimpressed #but i really did try my best for this #pokemon #trainwreckshipping #mirror image #volo #pla volo #volo pokemon #Subway Boss Emmet #emmet #kudari #acnh #happy home paradise #acnh design #my art #(?) kinda

[franeridan]

going back and forth between zolu and lawlu like an absolute lunatic that's just my general op experience

#it's his first mate and his first ally!!!!!! #i might be feeling a bit overemotional about op and luffy these days don't mind me #you know I've been obsessed with law since the moment he first showed up in sabaody #and then with lawlu since law showed up in marineford for no other reason than to save luffy #but the moment I picked lawlu and put it in the same space as zolu in my brain was #in dressrosa #there's this one time #in which luffy picks up both zoro and law slingshots himself all across the island #did you KNOW #that until that moment he'd ever only done so with zoro? did you know until then that was a zoro-only method of travel??? #it's dumb???? my brain picked that and the fact that it was both zoro and law and went oh okay!!! OKAY!!!!!!!!! #I've never been the same ever since

#nothing is more depressing than working on my cv #because I just don't feel like I have marketable skills #and so many of the writing and research posts I come across on job sites are like ''you'll be working alongside ai'' #I even saw a copywriter post that said ''you won't be doing any writing or editing. you job will be to refine and improve ai prompts #so that the ai can more consistently produce the texts we need'' #like hello #the person doing that job is literally making themself more obsolete by the day #so here's the plan #I need to take any job that pays vaguely well #and use that money to either do short corses #or save up to go so my masters #that conclusion is inescapable #just. for now I'm still stuck on step 1 : finding a decent job #and (perhaps I'm being too picky) but post covid I do not want to go back into anything in the tourism industry #it's too precarious and honestly just comes down to entertaining rich people which pushes me further left every time i think about it #I considered joining the communist party. but 1) they're still part of the tripartite alliance with the anc... which is a no from me #and 2) communist révolution should spontaneously happen in industrialised countries with surplus wealth when the proletariat arise #south africa does not have surplus wealth nor class consciousness really. it's still filtered through post apartheid racial groupings #which is unhelpful because the black bourgeoisie are not our allies just because they're black #and trying to impose communism in a society without the surplus wealth didn't work out too well throughout the 20th century #so what does that leave you with #parties like cope ? plagued by the same issues as the anc ? no thank you #(I did also study politics btw which is why I've even considered these career paths) #(although I haven't worked in politics or governance since graduation so maybe that doesn't even matter anymore it's been years) #all I want is a job that pays fairly and leaves me with enough free time to do my hobbies #I do not have the grindset I'll admit that #which is why I've enjoyed the art industry #but again. it just comes down to entertaining rich people in the small galleries which is needlessly stressful #and the larger non-commercial galleries and musea aren't hiring atm... #and that's it. rant over I guess since this is the 30th tag

Help, they're misinterpreting one of my favourite characters online.

I just saw someone call Katara a liability in Zuko and Azula's Agni Kai and even setting aside that that was never the plan and Katara beat Azula's ass right after, it misses why that duel happened. Zuko lost his honour by losing an Agni Kai and at the end of his arc, he finally regains it by chosing to lose an Agni Kai to save a friend.

#one day the atla fandom will stop disrespecting Katara #i have so much to say about her #i feel sorry to anyone who doesnt care about atla seeing this #also that zuko decided not to fight family to start and got into that duel for caring about his men #and it was perceived as weakness #only to later have it happen again but the person who he showed kindness to saves him now #it only shows that Zuko has allies over common goals and care vs Azula with fear #“”ohh it would have been more satisfying if Zuko won“” no it wouldnt #it would have had simple skill when Azula was already mentally wrecked win instead of actually doing something with his character #atla #avatar the last airbender #katara #zuko #soda speaks

I think it's very cool how the loudly happily married soulbond is the one where both partners have actively betrayed/killed each other before

#3l impulse on everybody's side but eventually coming to save his day one ally only to get killed by him #3l bdubs who is convinced impulse had betrayed the alliance anyway so it shouldnt matter if he joins the other side #we love to see em #double life smp spoilers

[wizardnuke]

whoever told me that abjuration wizards suck were lying to my faceeee see this subclass is so cool. i guess if someone likes playing glass cannon wizards it's a shit class but this girl i've got is. well she is tormenting my dm is what she's doing. good class

#what you're gonna do is hit level six okay and you're gonna #cast mage armor on yourself and in addition to that since it's an abjuration spell you're gonna add arcane ward (temp hp) #and at lvl6 you can use a reaction to direct any damage an ally takes within 30 feet of you onto your arcane ward and you're gonna #cast shield when you need to (Careful tho. only one reaction per round. redirect damage Or shield) and since shield is also an abjuration #spell you're gonna take the level you cast it at and double it. and put that into your arcane ward's hp. any abjuration spell puts hp #back into the ward. MEANWHILE you're concentrating on witch bolt. and you're not even risking con saves because you Aren't Getting Hit #so you are essentially nullifying damage that others take (if your ward hp depletes you take the remaining damage and can't cast it again) #while frying people alive every turn forever and ever until they die or go out of range. bless this bizarre combat medic wizard build #i don't have the numbers but i know a'velle took a good half of the fight's damage on her own and only lost 2hp in the fight #one day i decided that i wanted to play a combat medic wizard. and then i was like. wow this is not useful. and then level 6 hit #miss girl was standing there crit-frying a crocodile alive while waiving damage over to her ward and boosting its hp with bonus actions #gotta say. the fight was two crocs and a couple of little guys. miss girl dropped both of the crocs #NOO WAIT THE WARD DOESN'T DROP AT 0HP I JUST HAVE TO CAST ANOTHER ABJURATION SPELL. WOAG

I feel like Bruce was kinda a bit suspicious about the Tim's bisexuality.

So Bruce like the big idiot he is, for making sure Tim knew he was an ally, made a loooooong PowerPoint where he explained that we wasn't homofobic and that he wasn't against any tipe of gay things (wile putting his rainbow batman costume ofc)

Sure that he had a great idea

But he didn't

Tim was embarrassed and wanted to die

an interesting thing abt jgy antis is like. where is the source of their, shall we say, negative opinion of jgy? like, 1. jgy is a villain, he does horrible things with no remorse, he’s willing to do everything to achieve his selfish, egotistical goals. --> 2. the source of this claim: this, this and this scene. --> 3. alright, but to me -- says someone who’s not an anti -- this reads differently. that he did all those things, and did them on purpose and without remorse, is not that obvious to me. why do you think that? --> 4. well, obviously because he’s a villain and does horrible things with no remorse.

like... he’s evil because he does bad things, and he does bad things because he’s evil. i’m interested in how antis came by those opinions, but a, unfortunately i have them all blocked, and b, even if i or someone else made a poll, it wouldn’t be authentic because no sane anti is going to say “well, people hated him and wrote all those things about him on twt, so i started hating him as well”, or “i only care about wgxn, you could sell me anything about other characters if your arguments were convincing enough because i zoned out during the parts when wgxn weren’t on screen/pages of the book”. it’s all “written in the book/shown in the show” and “logical arguments you’d agree with if only you could read”.

#thinking back to my early c/q/l days where i reblogged this dumb ass meta abt how jgy FOR SURE pushed lxc away because he WANTED HIM #to be tormented by uncertainty forever. like 'the worst person you know just saved your life; what now' kinda thing #i was like oh... THIS IS SO RIGHT... because it felt bittersweet and painful and i am Still guilty of accepting/agreeing with headcanons #or interpretations that aren't 100% what i think because i have this ingrained idea that other people are always more mature and #sophisticated and smarter than me and so they Know Better #the person (i think?) later went on to write a meta abt how jgy is a badwrong narcissist. so #(this is also the reason why i spent months praising and getting excited abt a fic where jgy was dating nmj for like a decade despite #not loving him; and why he cheated on him many times with lxc Just Because. i didn't think jgy would do something like that but everyone #else was like omg this is SOOOOO good so i was like shit i guess it is! IT'S SOOOO GOOD OMG;;;;; have i mentioned i have no brain on #my own? yea) #anyway i'm not gonna paint myself as this genius from the first watch because I Too had wgxn goggles fucking ON and didn't even notice #the box hand touch during my first watch. (have i mentioned i am not very smart or observant) and when wwx was whistling ghosts at jgy #and jgy was clearly Going Thru It in the guanyin temple i was like 'haha good for him' #but iirc i Was nonetheless drawn to him (although xy was first <3) and it was like. well he's evilbad but maybe he felt bad when he murdered #his child? --> well maybe he's not 100% evilbad... maybe... --------------> a-yao did nothing wrong and i will kill you if you even suggest #otherwise. (<-- a joke.) #anyway a whole bunch of antis seem like kindasorta stuck in that initial wgxn-centered; everyone else either has 2 personality traits Max #or is either wgxn allies (good) or wgxn Haters (we hates them forever!) just like. unwilling to accept any new viewpoints At All #and then there are Types of those jgy antis because you have people who hate him for Other Reasons and people who hate them because they. #honestly seem like they've only read moralistic books for young children where the brave kind hero is the one you're supposed to cheer for #and want to be like; and the villain has all the traits you're supposed to know are Bad (mean greedy selfish lazy etc) AND NOTHING ELSE. #its like that *man who only saw boss baby watching another movie* damn this is giving me some serious boss baby vibes ! meme #anyway. love it when the tags are 3x longer than the post. cheers #shrimp thoughts

Me, struggling to maintain my principles that hating on straight people is more harmful to our community than helpful, when I see videos of young straight girls screaming MOTHER IS MOTHERING at Mitski shows:

#‘But how do you know they’re straight’ good point. However #From my own personal experience it’s straight girls who think they’re allies because they watch RPDR who act this way #Most often anyway #Either way whether you’re queer or straight #Let’s save that shit for drag shows yeah? #People kept doing it at Ethel Cain too and it irritated the shit out of me #No wonder she’s off most social media now and hates touring lmao #Time and fucking place people #Drag shows: have at it. Quiet intimate concert: shut the fuck up #The entitlement. The lack of concert etiquette. What the fuck happened??? #Every day I feel myself turning more into a bitter old gay because the young uns don’t make life easy for me #And they’re not even that much younger than me lmao #People don’t act this way at Iron Maiden I’m just saying #Anyway. Must. Stick. To principles… #might delete later #personal #rant #vent #mitski #ethel cain
