the way that one line from the new epilogue in an astarion romance is going to HAUNT me

just. what a profoundly intense thing to confess to someone.

like, just these six months of newfound happiness with you exerts a force on his heart equal and in direct opposition to two centuries of endless torment, the gnawing hunger and exploitation. this flashbulb-bright fraction of his long life holds the same gravity to him as years upon years of darkness and suffering.

in all likelihood, he hasn’t even known his lover for as long as his worst memory lasted, that year sealed away to go mad from starvation and sensory deprivation, yet he still tells them this brief time has been so fundamentally and powerfully important that the weight of even that unimaginable hell is vanishingly small compared to this present he has now and the future ahead of them both.

how am i supposed to act normal about this.

#i need to lay down #just drop this in there right at the beginning why not! #that’s INTENSE. and completely sincere considering his demeanor at the party. god #he’s so… nice. in the romanced epilogue. i expected him to be a little smug and jokey #if tav told him the others weren’t doing so hot without the two of them around #but he takes it so genuinely and with visible disappointment?? literally shocked me #i thought he would say oh of course their lives have taken a turn without our impressive leadership lol! #and then redirect into something a little less flippant #but man. he just gets sad. astarion six months into a loving relationship is like a stray cat that instantly gets cuddly when you adopt it #dude went cotton candy marshmallow saccharine sweet in a HEARTBEAT #bless the others with your presence he says. i’ll always be here he says. we have forever after all he says. #head in my hands. how could they do this to me #astarion ancunin #astarion bg3 #astarion #bg3 epilogue spoilers #bg3 spoilers #baldur’s gate 3 spoilers #bg3

Later on, the hot topic at the office was how Manager had proposed to me that morning.

I'm super excited for the release of Baldur's Gate 3. Only 2 days left and my mind is going crazy with all the wait x] I don't remember when I was so stoked for a new game last time... Maybe Witcher 3? Or maybe latest expansion for FFXIV. Anyways, I'd decided to keep myself a bit busy with art and drew my beloved druid UuU

Wayne coming home to find the boys viciously and LOUDLY arguing and immediately getting ready to a) throw that Harrington boy out on his ear and b) be a shoulder for Eddie to cry on.

As soon as he walks through the door the Harrington boy gestures at him and screeches "TELL HIM WHAT YOU TOLD ME", and Eddie just crumples in on himself in shame, refusing to look at anyone.

Wayne standing there listening to Steve rant about how 'he doesn't care about kids or marriage or any of that shit' and how he's going to throttle Eddie for trying to break up with him because he thinks he's trailer trash and therefore has nothing to offer Steve in the long run.

Wayne excusing himself to get ready for bed, chuckling to himself as he realises that 'that Harrington boy' is gonna be around for a long time, and he's actually good with that.

#eddie munson #steve harrington #wayne munson #steddie #i can see Wayne being completely aloof and distant with King Steve 'The Hair' Harrington until he shows that he puts Eddie first #and then realising that his boy is actually in good hands and backing off completely #Wayne Munson is a god tier parent...no i don't take criticism #(Eddie thinks he's being practical but he's just scared shitless bless him) #Steve is in full 'shut the fuck up and listen to me while i aggressively tell you how amazing you are' mode and it's terrifying #how the fuck did this get 1k notes #and now 2k notes wtf...thanks guys! #3k Holy shit #This post is sponsored by 4k notes #5k notes omfg...it's an honour to be on this hellsite #6k nightmare 😂 #7k superstar #8k baby! #9k nugget! 😄

i can’t stop thinking about how well bolas rojas has adapted to the conditions of purgatory. they embrace whatever suffering and lack of materials they have, they cheer for certain disasters (mainly the fog), they further embrace their insanity, laugh at their lack of mental wellbeing, they physically fight each other and die for fun. they invite the poor conditions like they weren’t missing luxuries like op backpacks and castles a few days ago. they truly embody the hellscape they’re trapped in because they were so utterly stomped to the ground from the start that they have embraced the mud as their new home.

so actually to correct my first point of this post, they haven’t adapted to the conditions of purgatory, they were reborn, created and molded from the flames of it.

#qsmp #qsmp purgatory #bolas rojas #qsmp bolas #qsmp bolas rojas #qsmp red team #correct me if i’m wrong because i mainly just watch red’s pov but #green and blue could exist without the purgatory they could exist on quesadilla #but red couldn’t #they are so tied to the purgatory that in no other conditions could a team like this be created #i kind of hope they are the cursed team because think about how poetic it’d be that the one team fully adapting to this hellscape #completely molded by it #is the one to win it all? #this post is just me spitting out some of my bolas rojas brainrot #that’s all really #going back to being so sick that i can only be awake during qsmp streams god bless #shey rambles

Following up on this excellent post from @nightgoodomens, it really is astonishing to see so many people in the GO fandom misunderstanding the characters/personalities of Aziraphale and Crowley. While I by no means am against people having head canons or differing interpretations, it has become frustrating to see people pushing their ideas about Aziraphale and Crowley onto others and declaring them to be official canon, leaving no room for any kind of discussion.

One of the things spoken about in the above linked post is the denigrating of Crowley, which seems to be a near constant in the fandom at this point, particularly in relation to the "apology dance" scene. (Which, to be fair, is chock full of soft!Dom Aziraphale vibes--thank you, Michael Sheen.) What seems to keep getting missed is that the entire apology dance routine is something that Aziraphale and Crowley do to each other. There is just as much of a possibility that Crowley sat there with a similarly smug look on his face and let out a guttural, snakey "Very nice" when Aziraphale did the dance in the years he listed off, because they play this game together.

Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship is one of equals, and I think this is also something people seem to not understand well. It seems as though a lot of fans who project themselves onto Crowley want to be taken care of, and so they want to believe the same of Crowley, and that the reason he wants to be taken care of is because he is broken. But someone doesn't have to be broken to want someone to take care of them. Sometimes the people who are a shambles on the outside can be dominant, just as sometimes the most buttoned up, put together people can also be submissive. And sometimes the people who look in control on the outside can feel not at all that way on the inside.

But this nuanced thinking seems to increasingly be difficult for many GO fans, particularly those who spend a great deal of time on social media, a place where people are either blindly praised or denigrated and torn down, and where such behavior greatly reinforces that binary, black-and-white mindset. We so badly want the world to be clear-cut--good vs. evil, heroes vs. bad guys--but very often that just isn't how things work. And it is exactly what Terry and Neil were trying to speak against in the GO book (and subsequently, the TV show).

The other thing that I think influences a lot of fans' perceptions about Aziraphale and Crowley is their chosen corporations (i.e., Crowley being thin and Aziraphale being plump). There is an automatic assumption that thin somehow equals more vulnerable, and for all of the emphasis that is placed on Aziraphale and Crowley being genderfluid/nonbinary/not subscribing to traditional gender roles, it's Crowley who seems to be viewed as more androgynous/femme, and is therefore looked at as inherently vulnerable. Meanwhile Aziraphale is thicker and viewed as more masculine, and therefore he is somehow inherently not vulnerable. Yet if the body types were reversed, it seems highly likely that fans' attitudes toward them would be much different.

(It also saddens me that this seems to mirror the fans' treatment of Michael and David, where Michael serves as a target for the fans' venom and is seen as less desirable/more threatening because he presents more traditionally masculine, while David is not targeted or attacked and is seen as more desirable/less threatening because he presents much more androgynously. Consequently, many fans find it easy not to sympathize with Michael, and when you can readily disregard someone's feelings, it becomes easier to see them as "less." In the case of Aziraphale and Michael, it leaves no room for either one to be vulnerable and is unfair to both of them.)

What I have always taken away from Good Omens--and from Michael and David's portrayal of Aziraphale and Crowley and how deeply they both understand these characters--is that Crowley doesn't need to be a perfect angel for Aziraphale to like him. He just needs to be a little bit of a good person. And Aziraphale doesn't need to be a perfect demon for Crowley to like him--he just needs to be enough of a bastard to be worth knowing. Neither one has to fully subscribe to the other's outlook or point of view to listen to what they have to say.

Aziraphale and Crowley meet in the middle. In the place that becomes their side, and where they take care of each other, fight with each other, and love each other. And that's more than most of us could ever ask or hope for...

#good omens #aziraphale #crowley #michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #david tennant #soft scottish hipster gigolo #ineffable husbands #i think this is also why so many fans can't handle honest criticism of GT and AL #in their minds either someone is completely good or completely terrible #there's no middle ground to just see someone as they are #i swear to God people have no sense of nuance anymore #i've had it officially.gif #also Michael yelling about Aziraphale being a bottom in 2019 was more galaxy brained than any of us even knew #PhD level of understanding of the assignment #bless his bisexual Welsh chaos #fandom woes #thoughts #discourse

getting so fucked up listening to Kevin Perjurer talking to Adam Conover about how the Disney channel theme documentary was only supposed to be twenty minutes. How it was supposed to be a joke, the punchline being “it’s just four notes, it’s not that deep”. He was just gonna find the guy who did it and do a silly ironic interview, and then the story behind the theme unfolded and hit something true and meaningful.

#Defunctland #when a character is so powerful they completely change the narrative except it was real life with real human beings #I’m so happy to know the Disney channel theme documentary fucked up Kevin perjurer the same way it affected everyone else god bless

man. you know what i fucking think about all the time? vex and vax and the deities that they become champions to. how even those gods reflect the entanglement that is their life, how vax steps in front of a goddess on his stalwart hope in the world and demands she choose him and how vex is so tentative, barely speaks up because she’s fighting against every instinct she’s learned that tells her not to hope that she could be worthy enough, certainly not to a god.

and the gods that choose them, the gods they choose? they’re both reflections of one another to each other. vax, whose championship arose out of his commitment to never leave his sister’s side? his god is the matron of ravens, a sad woman who dons a mask. a mortal who fought tooth and nail to arrive at the power she has. vex, whose championship arrives after her brother’s hope in the future and her future specifically has rubbed off on her and encouraged her own growth to believing? she is greeted with pelor, who stands strong and painfully bright, but she’s granted the gift to see through it to warm eyes and a bright smile. who affirms the hope that lives in her.

and man, it’s even more extraordinary to me that the comparison between the given twin’s god and their sibling gets made by that sibling in scenes where they directly speak to the gods their twin has chosen. during vax’s resurrection ritual, vex bargains with the raven queen because she knows she’s someone who bargains like vex herself does, and she’s someone that values vax, maybe not quite as much as she does, but enough. and during vex’s trial, as the dawn father searches for his hope among the love for vex among vox machina, vax’s affirmation is that vex is his hope, so she should certainly be sufficient to be pelor’s.

and god the black death walker’s ward and the white dragon armour? vax’s wings and vex’s blessing? vax as a shroud of darkness visiting this plane, embracing the literally glowing shape of his sister on her wedding day? the poetry of vex and vax and pelor and the matron of ravens is enormous and so much of it is fucking. improv.

#vex’ahlia #vax’ildan #vex’ahlia de rolo #critical role #campaign 1 #cr1 #vax & vex #vex and vax #pelor #the raven queen #the dawn father #matron of ravens #it’s about how vax is the sun and vex is the moon do you get it #she’s brighter because he is there but she lets him rest #there’s no one without the other and they’re complete without the other but they’re wholly changed #no but genuinely the parallels between cr characters and the gods they champion or whose vestiges they carry? i could go insane #pelor giving them the knowledge to find ioun? vex seeing scanlan’s shadow and instantly welcoming him back? #pelor and sarenrae on the same plane and the same space? i have more elaborate thoughts but pike vex bestieism #fjord and his blue trickster cleric girlfriend and his wildmother death cleric bestie weilding the star razor? #percy being denied by the raven queen and ioun but marrying the champion of pelor. whitestone blessed by pelor but patrolled by galdric #and protecting the buried ziggurat that was once ioun?? im charlie day at my board with red string but i’m right about it. #the gods are powerful. but the bonds between these silly little characters and their friends. that’s just as powerful #laura bailey #liam o’brien #matthew mercer

Fighting capitalism by having an art ‘aesthetic’ that is so so rancid, no brands want to use you for marketing.

Yes I’m looking at Tiktokkers who have cute tidy work spaces where everything is displayed ‘just right’ lending a superficial atmosphere that’s appealing to consumers and marketers who want you to slide their brands into your videos.

I show my studio space to Instagram artists and they dissolve like I’ve opened the ark of the covenant.

Martyn "Hand of the King" InTheLittleWood just won Limited Life by turning on his ally.

Martyn "Hallucinated His Dead Friends" InTheLittleWood just won Limited Life by turning on his ally.

Martyn "Desperate to Work Things Out With His Soulmate" InTheLittleWood just won Limited Life by turning on his ally.

THIS IS A BIG DEAL.

Martyn is the first winner to abruptly change strategies at the very end. The other three won by doing what they'd done the whole season. There was no last second change in Grian or Scott or Pearl's games. Martyn, on the other hand, did a full 180 on everything he'd stood for in every game in order to win.

And that's not out of character! It's character development. Martyn consistently outlives the allies he's so loyal to. Ren. The Southlanders. Cleo. They all died before him. Loyalty has never gotten him to the finish line.

Martyn has always reached the last episode of the season. This was the first time, though, that he'd gone to a finale with his sworn ally still standing in his way of the win.

Cleo was no obstacle to him in Double Life. He couldn't have won without her. But Scott? Previous winner Scott? Has been a threat the entire season Scott? For the first time ever, Martyn found himself facing an ally that could easily outlive him and, subsequently, win.

Martyn had never had to choose between loyalty and winning before. It's fascinating that he chose to win.

Honestly, it makes sense. He had no guarantees that Scott wouldn't go for him once the battle royale started. It was kill or be killed, and Martyn decided he'd rather be able to guarantee his win than risk being taken out by the person he'd ensured the survival of. Can you imagine if Scott had taken Martyn out fair and square? What a devastating way to lose. And, sure, it's possible that Impulse could've taken Martyn out instead. Scott could've won without ever hurting him. But Martyn decided that he wanted to win. He got tired of the niceties. He got tired of loyalty. He got tired of losing.

For the first time, Martyn listened to himself instead of someone else. And he won.

#this man just completely dunked on the precedent for finales and y'know what #good for him #I can't wait to see the consequences #he also dunked on the precedent for HIMSELF so that's fun #deranged loner Martyn next season perhaps??? #he finally Listened to his heart and his heart said murder god bless #martyn inthelittlewood #limited life
