So I've already shared parts of this on a discord server, but I have to scream about Ketheric Thorm on here as well. Obviously spoilers about the character under the cut! It's a long one.

The entirety of act 2 is about him, right? Jaheira, Shadowheart and numerous other NPCs shit on him for his fickle faith. First Selune, then Shar, then, as we meet him, Myrkul. You hear about his changes of faith on a whim, you hear that he's the person responsible for the shadow curse, he is painted as a villain, plain and simple.

You can figure it out pretty early on that Isobel was resurrected and that she is his daughter; the detail as well that he wants Isobel alive is so on the nose, it gives him away completely but there are still a few questions that remain unanswered, mainly about his faith.

And then you get to the mausoleum and the picture assembles; this entire tragedy, the death of hundreds if not thousands and the complete ruination of a landscape was all, ALL because you had this absolutely wrenched, heartbroken father who had lost everything and nobody answered his grief. He was left woefully alone, the Goddess whose daughter his daughter was involved with did nothing to save Isobel.

Imagine outliving your wife and your daughter. Imagine dedicating your life to fight the Lady of Loss, your Lady of Silver's enemy, and then be left so completely alone and in silence with your grief, with your loss. It's so, so poetic how and why he turned from Selune, and it's so understandable as well; he broke. His spirit completely broke. He couldn't deal with that void of having lost the only two important people in his life, seemingly undeservedly so. He was going mad with this and a lot of his ire was likely targeted at Aylin who, in his eye, represented Selune; she's literally her daughter, after all, and it was implied that even before the deaths of his family, he sort of saw Aylin courting Isobel as Selune taking his daughter from him, despite his service. This relationship was clearly not seen by him as a boon of "giving his daughter to the Moon-maiden".

His ways in the past clearly didn't spare him from tragedy and having to cope with it (which he clearly didn't, he snapped under the weight of his grief). He was clearly angry and unable to do anything, furious and helpless, which is a dangerous combination. A good part of his first change of heart must have been fuelled by a sense of revenge.

But then Shar didn't provide any balm to his aching heart either. If you read his letters in Grymforge and in act 2, he is so focused on enacting the will of Shar because he believes that healing lies in oblivion. Everything would be easier if he could just forget, if the damn world could just forget, if nothing was remembered because without Melodia and Isobel, nothing was worth remembering.

Then came Myrkul. Literally the only god who was not only able, but WILLING to give back his daughter to him. Imagine spending your all, EVERYTHING you have to serve two gods who would not give a single shit about the greatest suffering in your life. You were basically nothing, your loyalty didn't matter for shit, everything that was taken from you amounted to no recognition whatsoever: you should simply cope and seethe. Your grief will not simply go unanswered (which is not inherently antagonising) but ignored.

And then comes this supposedly evil entity who can alleviate your pain just like that, snap of a finger and it's a done deal.

I am so serious when I say that I believe Ketheric's main incentive was to extend Aylin's immortality to Isobel as well. You can read in her diary that she feels a taint after having came back, and there are things not even Selune can cleanse, but at this point, Ketheric doesn't care about Selune, vengeance is secondary if not tertiary, he's done that war during his Shar years and what did it give him? Literally nothing.

He doesn't even care about the fact that Isobel is still her cleric. He cares about the single most important fact: Isobel is back. Life is worth living again, there is something for him, and it was not Selune or Shar who gave it to him but Myrkul, and for this singular gift, he would raze the world for the Lord of Bones. Like people can clown on him for being disloyal but the man has the loyalty of a dog bonded to its owner.

He is powerful and is willing to go to insane lengths for crumbs. What is raising a single life for a god? Nothing. It has happened and it will happen again. But Ketheric will go to the ends of the earth to serve the single god who actually listened to him. The one god who didn't ignore him.

He knows that what he does is not the morally upright thing! He is so insanely self-aware that allying with Orin and Gortash and doing this entire plot with them only to then betray them is morally reprehensible at the best of times, he knows that people hate him, etc-etc. He was a Selunite at one point and he's not stupid. He just doesn't care; it could be literal Asmodeus and he wouldn't care as long as he got what he wanted, no matter the price.

He is probably the only one from the three of the chosen who has complete clarity over his situation, he almost sways (if you pass the check during his confrontation), he is not an inherently evil man blinded by power.

But he is inherently loyal to those deserving, and as of the story's standing, completely broken by his grief. In his eyes, at this point, the only one deserving loyalty is the one who actually listened to him. Isobel lives. It doesn't matter that she hates him, that his entire life has fallen apart, that literally nothing else that is good has come of it, because Isobel lives.

I don't think he regrets a single thing. His consciousness might tear at him at the end, but I believe he would do everything over again, exactly as he did, because in the end, his daughter was brought back. Because what would a grieving, broken parent give to bring back their child? Everything. Absolutely everything. And it's such a simply given answer, no second thoughts, no doubts.

Nobody can tell me that this man is fickle. Nobody. This man was willing to burn the world to the ground, create a Boudica destruction layer all by himself for the one single thing he wanted. For any God that would listen.

I don't know, I just have a lot of thoughts about his character.

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #ketheric thorm #and I also have a lot of thoughts of how Aylin foils him #I fully believe that he was in the right in the capacity that he switched around his gods when he was literally ignored despite his life's #work. despite all that he has given. I think it's reasonable to expect in the world of gods who actively meddle in mortal affairs on their #whims and make shit worse that in just one single case they would. idk. NOT expect one of their devotees to remain blindly loyal to them #after their prayers go unanswered. like yes; go and try your luck elsewhere because this devotion of yours is clearly being taken for #granted. you get NOTHING out of your worship. you can't even sleep well because your loved ones are dead and you are expected to just what? #deal with it on your own? and remain loyal? why? #some sense of 'honour'? #I really like this depiction of faith actually. I really like when clerics and paladins are given agency and critical thought that hey! #this is actually giving me nothing despite me dedicating my entire life to it! and I have only one of it so why not take it somewhere where #it's actually valued. you know. as a treat. #I *personally* much more prefer this depiction of a crisis of faith than what we got with Shadowheart or Lae'zel; their stories are very #interesting on their own but I think throwing yourself from one end to the other not because you actually have a goal that it could serve #but because you are desperate for a purpose #is a slightly less potent character narrative than having an actual goal yourself. not by much but by a little. #again #PERSONALLY

its so hard to talk about how traumatic it is to watch somebody be claimed by dementia without going "well i cant complain because at least i wasnt the one losing my mind (for now)" but that shit fucks you up so much. that ghost is going to haunt me for the rest of my life and all i can do is hope it Stays a ghost

#tiddytaco #b #thinking about it rn bc today while i was driving my mom home from pt #she saw someone she knew from years ago driving & was like FOLLOW THAT CAR & we met them in a parking lot #& the conversation turned to 'hey what the hell happened to your parents' pretty quickly bc our families hadnt been in touch #& it was a long conversation in the hobby lobby parking lot #& idk if itll ever Stop being fresh in my mind but now its Extra fresh in my mind #that whole time period was just so insane & awful #bc it was like Ok we're caring for both grandparents #& then my grandpa died #& all our pets at the time were very old #& when he died it occurred to me that we could easily lose both grandparents and all 3 pets within the year #it turned out to be like a long drawn-out year & a half from the first to the last #& looking back it seems impossible that is was that short a time period bc it felt like an eternity #we got off easy with grandpa bc he died before it got too bad but with grandma it just kept getting Worse #& the climax of the caring experience was traveling to take her to my uncle bc he wanted to take his shift caring for her #& that was so . So bad. SO bad #like it literally could not have gone more smoothly and it was SO bad #just thinking about it i feel like im there again i get so stressed out

Fellas we’ve officially hit that point /lh

I called my mama because I was upset over something, after talking it out she encouraged me to ‘go do something fun’ because the situation really couldn’t be helped so I might as well move on and cheer myself up.

Her suggestion? “Go play with Sun and Moon.”

She was referring to my plushies but the fact that she SAID THAT??

I’m officially at a point in the fixation where my MOTHER, who knows nothing about video games or fandom or anything like that, is able to recognize that shoving these two celestial themed robo twinks in my face is going to make me happy. And that’s insane to me.

“Here kiddo, go play with your jester animatronics you’ll feel better.” And she’s RIGHT. GOD.

#shut up jack #and to think she was threatening to throw my plushies in the garbage not too long ago too #now she knows she can’t pull that card anymore lmao #god my mom doesn’t know about any of my interests so that’s how you know it’s bad #the only thing that couldn’t have possibly made it worse is if she mentioned a specific fandom version #could you image?? #‘hey I see you’re upset and I’m sorry to hear that :(( Sun and Moon show ok??’ #‘Solar Flare and Bloodmoon Sun and Moon Show. ok? no don’t cry harder- KillCode and Eclipse Sun and Moon Show’ #I’d like actually die /lh #‘thank you for reminding me about the cowboy au mom i was feeling real low’ #LMFAO

i think the funniest thing to me about hades game so far is zags like. total lack of understanding of the concept of punishment. i think nobody ever bothered to explain the concept of hubris to him and now its too late and zagreus, who is tied for stubbornnest god in all of hell, really thinks they should all just cut the mortals some slack

#like ppl r like well they mortally offended the gods and this shitty little nepo baby (<- affectionate.) is lik #like* okay but theyre my friend? and i like them? i dont think they should have to be sad any more. #and basically everyone just lets him do whatever. #(SPOILERS SPOILERS) like hades yells at him all the time but the only thing he's seriously done anything about was zag trying to leave #frankly so far i think hades is kind of pleased that zags showing initiative its just buried under layers and layers of bad dad who is also #the god/king of hell and also No you can't fucking leave. #anyway (SPOILERS CONTINUE) Thanatos was just like #hey zag do you realize you could have fucked it up way worse for orpheus and euridice by interfering. and zagreus was like #🥺 #shitty little Nepo baby. heart of gold. im cradling him so gently in my palms #siskplays #hades game tag

I don't know if the whole Alabama Brawl situation has made it's way to tumblr yet but I gotta say the hypocritical, selective outrage i'm seeing from white folks is crazy. That black man hit a white woman with a chair and suddenly they're sooo against violence towards women, right? Did they miss the part where that white guy ran up and blindsided that young black woman by grabbing her face, putting his arm around her throat and taking her to the ground? Or did she deserve that for being in the fight in the first place? Keep that energy for those white women who had no problem punching and kicking men and women and even continued hitting that security guard after initially jumping him in the first goddamn place.

Also them saying "well how do you know they were racist, it's just a fight that happen to be between black and white people" Uhhmmmm... Sure Jan. Is it really a coincidence that Trump was in Montgomery Friday and Saturday this shit happens? I'm sure that maga spirit was flowin' through them and they took it out on a black security guard for having the audacity to tell them what to do.

#the whole situation is so crazy #and it could have been so much worse #but hey #solidarity #this shit aint gonna fly in 2023 #make racists afraid again #alabama river boat brawl #montgomery alabama #alabama river fight #personal #my 2cents #tw: violence #racisim #racial justice

EXCUSE THE BAD ART BECAUSE ITS WHAT I GOT 🔫🔫🔫

Yang and Qrow co-parenting Bby Ruby as tai goes through his whole family mandated mental breakdown fills my every waking thought

Qrow is single handedly handling all of ozpins secret missions now so all of remnant is on his shoulders, that combined with all the death and general tragedy in his family there’s no way the second he gets a moment of peace with his nieces he doesn’t pass the fuck out

Yang is just doing her best as qrow is usually busy saving all of remnant for months at a time to be home

(Additional hc because they’re living of of assumably two teachers salaries, Ruby and Yang wear a lot of school merch they get for free, cause buying new clothes is expensive and a hassle Qrow doesn’t really have the time for, and Yang can’t reach the counters)

#rwby #yang xiao long #qrow branwen #ruby rose #poor Ruby had no chance of growing up stable #qrow went from hey my whole team got married and had kids I feel slightly left out to #nvm you should’ve left me out of it #Qrow: I can’t be around you kids I’m bad luck #Yang age 8: god I couldn’t give less of a fuck how could this get any worse #yang: I just need money for groceries #qrow: kid you need so much therapy #yang: look who’s talking #qrow: …touché

Self-taught artist? Went to art school? Why not both?????

Artist who went/is going to art school, but teachers ignored them/are never in class/just care about their favorites so they kind of had to learn things by themself and then go crawling like a worm to the professors and ask "like this?" And they grunt and nod instead of giving constructive criticism.

#steel rambles #or you know #when the prof uses your project to experiment so when they do their own thing they know what to do because they watched you #I am this close to get my painting and slam it on my professor's head #I told the other lab's assistant what that asshole is making me do and she was horrified #HEY AT LEAST NOW I KNOW IT'S NOT ME BUT HIM! #ha! #I'm gonna cry so hard lol I could have just done the project the same way I did it last year #“BuT nOu” he wanted me to “tRy SoMeThInG nEw” #FUCK YOU???? if something worked once why the hell should I do something harder with worse results????? #but I'm gonna do it anyway now #and it's gonna look good #because fuck you I'm gonna do a good job no matter how much this asshole is gonna try and make things difficult #but I swear if he doesn't take the difficulty into account when he's gonna give me my grades... #you'll hear about me on the news I swear. #just a few months and I'm never gonna see him again #just a few months! #AAAAAAAAARGH

Re: Chair Lore: Where is the Chair From?

I was joking about the seat looking like a sim chair, but after doing some research, I'm almost 100% sure they just took seats from a 2012 Ferrari 458 and put them on plexiglass platforms 😭

I couldn't find any pics that look *exactly* like the chair itself, but I think these are pretty similar, no?

It's going to bug me so much that I can't find the exact chair UGH, like with the white stripe in the middle, you know? But yes anyways, this is my theory.

*fyi, I'm planning a drawing with this chair and my thought process with finding reference is always "this has to be exactly perfect and 100% accurate" so thats why I'm being incredibly specific and over-detailed about this 😭 please don't think I'm weird

#THIS HAS GONE ON WAY TOO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭 #im sitting here like. did i really spend ~30 mins looking at fucking car seats #i just need to find proper reference okay!! so i can do the chair justice!!! #well anyways derangement part 2: somehow even worse #i think im also going to make a comp post with him in 2013 w the chair #bcs i was looking at them and EEEEEEE so many cute pics!!!!! #also yeah lol felipe had one too. equality 🙏 #but also I need to remind myself. its literally ferrari with ferrai chairs that for all i know could be custom #i would love if i do all this inane research and dont even end up finishing my drawings 😭😭 #they live in my head and haunt me daily <3 im just scared i cant portray perfectly so! #someone left a tag on the other lore post about how they wish they could care abt anything as much as i care abt the chair #and im like HEY...okay fine youre not wrong #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #catie.rambling.txt #normal posts that catie normally makes in a normal fashion
