Tbh? I don't like Paul. I don't want Paul. I understand that Paul serves an important narrative function and that Paul is the best possible ending for Camilla and Palamedes given their situation, personalities, and relationship. However what I really want is for Camilla and Palamedes to attend the ATN wedding as two individual humans and for Pal to be a lightweight who loses his tie in the garden fountain after three drinks and for Camilla to do exactly one shot with the group, keep Gideon from ripping the sleeves off her dress shirt, and absolutely kill it at lawn games during cocktail hour. Since this scenario is a wild tonal mismatch for the series and also Palamedes was already dead, this was unlikely to ever happen. However Paul is the final nail in the coffin for the theoretical existence of this scene and I can't help but resent them for that

#I don't think we as readers are supposed to welcome Paul. at least not without grieving Pal and Cam #Paul's existence is both a horror and a triumph #however my concerns are much more petty and involve Camilla winning at cornhole #I can't yet properly characterize Paul. would Paul lose their tie in the fountain??? would Paul win at cornhole?? #or does everything that made Pal and Cam individually delightful cancel out into a person who is mostly competent and boring. #they balanced each other out you see!!! so what happens now that they're combined into one person!!!! #the locked tomb #nonasbirthday #nona the ninth spoilers #the locked tomb spoilers

revisiting the balance finale and I am completely fascinated by davenport immediately concluding that they need to leave on the starblaster and continue to the next cycle. that’s so wild. it asks you to confront the fact that, even though the stolen century was only a few episodes, it covers 100 times more time than the rest of the podcast. davenport is ready for these last ten years to be just an incident in a long list of incidents. he’s ready for another 100 years, however long it takes to figure out a better plan. the fact that it could bring lup back! the fact that if lucretia won’t agree, it’s better to kill her and talk about it next cycle if need be! the fact that none of them could stay even if they wanted to. the fact that davenport of all of them is the most willing to let the world burn. would he have waited to try and get the light from lucretia? would taako? imagine what the first moments of them reforming in a new planar system would be. holy istus i can’t stop thinking about it.

#lucretia young again #lup back! but not knowing everything that happened #could magnus have convinced lucretia to let them take the light? #merle being forced to leave! #taz balance #the adventure zone #davenport

Superbat parenting babies would be a breeze in my humble opinion. Bruce's medically well-versed enough and immune to even enhanced interrogation levels of sleeplessness, and loves kids and would probably be happy reading them stories to sleep every night.

And Clark could always tell if the kid swallowed fridge magnets/batteries/something else. Also, tell me which baby wouldn't enjoy Clark's presence and calmness. They'd be like little hamsters cajoled by the steadiness of his hold.

#I think Clark has demonstrated pretty great parenting and he's also immensely kind while balancing out certain rules #And toddlers would beg to be flown around. #maybe this is too optimistic #considering that B's track record with kids isn't perfect #but I genuinely believe they have a decent shot #I feel like the gentleness and kindness of Thomas from Batman Begins is kind of a good example of what I'd picture a calmer Bruce's mentall #stable parenting to be like #batman #superman #superbat #clark kent #bruce wayne #and I'm also willfully ignoring some stuff/chalking it up to questionable writing/can't be bothered to make sense of everything that's cano

I think the most amazing thing about Alhaitham's ironic question "How has realizing your ideals gone for you?" is that yes, on the surface, it pierced through the heart of Kaveh's feelings at the time and forced him to reflect on whether he still had enough belief to keep going, but--BUT--

This is also Alhaitham subtly asking: "Was your life better without me?"

Kaveh left their friendship because of his ideals.

Kaveh's attempts to realize his beliefs began in earnest during his argument with Alhaitham, who challenged him back then by suggesting that Kaveh didn't honestly believe in his ideals and was just pursuing them out of guilt and a desire to punish himself for his father's death.

Kaveh's attempt to "realize his ideals," therefore, spans the exact amount of time he and Alhaitham have been separated. When Alhaitham asks about Kaveh's attempts, he's asking very specifically about the course Kaveh's life took when he was no longer in it.

How did it go for you? Were you happier? Was it worth it?

I truly believe that Kaveh will be able resolve his conflict with Alhaitham--and come to understand Alhaitham's actual feelings--when he realizes that, in that exact moment, he should have turned the question around:

How did realizing your ideals go for you, Alhaitham?

Was your life better off without me?

No.

#genshin impact #alhaitham #kaveh #haikaveh #kavetham #Kaveh was so worried about whether he should keep his own ideals #that he never even noticed how much Alhaitham's changed #Alhaitham's line in Parade of Providence #about how being correct isn't the same as being right #was sooo telling #it's not about compromising your beliefs #but about learning how to pursue them without compromising yourself #both of them had to feel the sting of pursuing their own beliefs too far #to realize that you need balance #Kaveh's pursuit of ideals that cost him everything was Alcazarzaray #but Alhaitham's pursuit of ideals was the fight that lost him Kaveh #Sumeru was saved because Alhaitham learned his lesson about egoism #and Alhaitham was able to save Kaveh in turn #it's so fucking clean my god this writing #Hoyo cooked so hard with this ship not even Gordon Ramsey can complain

wanted to try mixing together wolf+human skeletons to make a werewolf, so heres my go at that with bone. the shoulders are pretty human but the hips are titled down and back further so that quadrapedal movement is more comfortable while also not making bipedal walking impossible.

also since this transformation would require less anatomical changes, most clothes still fit the transformed form

#in theory he could walk on his back two legs and walk but it would require balance. his tail can move further upwards than a wolf's though #so it can help with that #bone is my little werewolf guinea pig. he is everything and anything #ramblings #aceart #werewolfisms #werewolf #superbignaturals tag

Okay so there's this idea for a fic I've been thinking of.

The jl are combating something that can only be touched with magic, jl dark is unresponsive (they got stuck in another dimension again), and cap - their only other magic user - is too injured.

But when they start stressing cap just slams a sheaf of papers of the table like 'pick between yourselves what powers you want, it's one each. Ig I'll sponsor you for today'.

Everyone: what?

Cap, spreading the papers to show each has a letter... Spelling out a magic word?: I'm serious. Do you want a cool new power? Consequence free? For as long as you need?

Batman:... Are you saying... You can... Give out powers?

Cap: my powers, yes. Flash, put Mercury back. That's pointless.

It'd be a great chance to have him explain his powers as a sort of reveal, including why he doesn't do it (it divides his power equally and thus severely weakens him). Also it would be very funny, I think, to see the jl in colour coded marvel suits being basically patroned by Billy. Batman has a blindingly white cowl. Flash has a cape. There's so much 'wait this chill childlike guy from some random city is actually insanely powerful' potential.

But also:

Batman, slowly pinwheeling through the air: how do I steer.

#dc captain marvel #shazam #captain marvel #billy batson #justice league #jla #batman #superman #wonder woman #dc flash #green lantern #martian manhunter #green arrow #With a limit of six it'd be a good cast size too #I can definitely see cap having to prod them away from playing to their strengths because otherwise that would be self defeating #Superman I'd have to give wisdom because like. He's got everything else #I'd give batman... Power. that'd probably be the trickiest to master in a short time? #I'd give flash super strength I think to balance it out. Maybe invulnerability? #Wonder woman can work with anything. Queen. She'd probably take super speed #Just leaves stamina and the one flash doesn't have. Depends who the final members are I guess. #Who do you think they should be? #Green lantern (wearing yellow): this feels wrong. #Green arrow (wearing purple): I think I need a new name. #Cap: well technically you're all my lieutenants now so you can just go by colours if you want lol #Batman: you will not call me lieutenant blue I am not five. We are not power rangers. #Gl: WELL I'M NOT GOING BY YELLOW LANTERN #1k #2k #!

the problem with taz balance is that half of the things that make me want to recommend it to people are major spoilers that will fundamentally change the listening experience

#eliot posts #taz #the adventure zone #like i've gotten a few followers to check it out with my constant posting of it #but also my posts are full of major spoilers #which i won't say ''ruin'' the experience #bc it's still very good with all the twists revealed #and in some ways the dramatic irony of knowing so many things that the characters don't makes listening SO FUN #but at the time. i wish SO BADLY that i could wipe my mind of everything that happens in taz balance #and listen to it for the first time again #i started listening back while it was still coming out #and the fun of figuring out the mysteries and then having your whole view forcibly recontextualized by The Big Reveal #absolutely unparalleled

I have some scribbles here and there but I haven’t had time to fully clean em.. but sombra concepts I been cooking with @skelekins and his oc imi taming sombra’s beaft moments,,

#We call the ship starlit night and it’s my favorite fucking thing;;;;; #Sombra and imi take my brain every so often and it makes me so emo #I was thinking sombra has moments where his corruption goes really bad when he has too much negative energy and it deforms him to a point #that he loses clarity and goes feral mode. He’s already a pretty monsterous entity on his own but the corruption just made it tenfold #so kin and I were thinking imi balances it with their wub for he;;; #and I’m just WAGNHNnhn;; #but yeah.. also dream concepts sneak peak and a passive sombra #dream is called sueño in my au to go with sombra’s name cause I’m silly like that and I gotta add Spanish in everything KFJGJ #so they both speak Spanish LMAO #but yeah.. #art #my art #my ocs #undertale ocs #sombra #nightmare sans #nightmare #dreamtale #passive nightmare sans #dream sans #sueño #friend ocs #imi #undertale au #undertale fanart

today I randomly decided to drop everything and make a custom emote, the result of which I'm kinda more obsessed with than everything else I've ever made combined, so. I present to you. free to use. Him

[Image description: an emote of Red Robe Barry from The Adventure Zone, based off the pleading face emoji. He's a shadowy disembodied head with big watery eyes, no mouth, and a red hood. End description.]

#lookin at you with those big lich eyes 🥺 #as i said in the conversation that led to me making this: i want to put him in the washing machine #i think he would think of it as a nice break from everything #taz #taz balance #taz balance spoilers #barry bluejeans #i am Not a visual artist but this truly came out better than i could've imagined
