saw an article of a fan ranking the hypmic characters based on who they’d like to marry as an older fan and they don’t have bad taste, rosho was number one lmao but what they had to say about doppo actually killed me LOL
‘i don’t see how he’d be able to make time for me working at that black company. and even if he were to get a job at a better company, I don’t think i can beat out his childhood friend’

can you imagine being stuck in a hundred-year-long timeloop and the only other person who remembers is someone you hate more than anything. no wonder they're like that.

*vibrating into another plane of existence* I fucking love road-trip stories so much. I love travel horror. It’s the distance. It’s the isolation and the liminality and finding creature comforts while you drag yourself from place to place. Lumpy mattresses and shitty coffee and diners filled with cigarette smoke and people who are not your friends. But they could be friendly. You, stranger, drifter, are the threat, are the unknown. Make yourself comfortable while you can; you know this isn’t gonna last. You have a destination. A home. Or, at the very least, your home sure as hell isn’t here. So keep moving.

i started rambling in the tags of that last post and then just decided to make my own post about it but thinking about rain's "childhood" fucks me up especially in light of him being like. not mortal at all. brought into being in some fucked up god blood ritual in a temple, presumably raised there until he could like. walk and then tossed onto the streets to fend for himself until he was old enough to come back home
like the heal memory shows he's had the urge probably since he could think and started acting on it pretty young. probably started younger than that and just not with people
but like. given he had like no good formative influences and no mortal blood to temper bhaal's influence, was he ever sweet? did he ever try to play little games like that with other kids on the street? did he have friends? did he kill them??
i think maybe there was some tiny part of him that wanted to be normal, that wanted to have friends and play games, bhaal's own mortal influence coming back around and being fed by rain watching other kids. but i also think it took him a while to learn to control the urge and i think accidentally killing someone made him take that part of himself and stuff it down as deep as he could inside him so even he couldn't find it. and it only broke back out when orin caved his skull in

The funny thing about playing BG3 right after its release is like. Usually with RPGs I obsessively look up the dialogue for every interaction to make sure I choose the Right Thing but since this game just came out those kinds of guides just... don't exist yet. Like sure I can look up general walkthroughs for different quests, but there's not any articles detailing the approval/disapproval rating for every character on each individual dialogue option like there is for, say Dragon Age, so I'm having to actually fuck around and find out for once

Part of being Canadian is how similar we are to the US, and honestly not a single person on earth I think could genuinely pin point the difference between Canadian and American culture but the average Canadian. Americans assume we're the same as them (we aren't), even a bunch of Canadians think we're Americans, especially around voting seasons, and about half our cultural identity is "we're Not American!" but there are some cultural differences and if we all spoke French equally we could have had a language distinction but nooooo. Despite not being America unfortunately such a fuck off massive country right below your teeny tiny ass country (population wise) does result in a cultural avalanche from said fuck off massive country. Especially when you share a language.
The war of 1812 will forever be funny to me though because Americans were like "hmm maybe Canadians would also like to tell the British to fuck off, we will invade to show them!" And Canada was like *burns down the white house* and we've been tentatively chill with each other ever since lmao (even when we probably like. Shouldn't be cool with America but like. We could not risk that implosion politically or otherwise it'd be suicide).
