"You- you're right. I can be better than him."

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #astarion #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #bg3edit #gamingedit #mine #was it in ea when tav said he can become better than cazador #and astarion was like yeah i can become stronger-oh you meant being kind? #and now he spares seven thousand innocents and even argues with the gur that it was the right choice #instead of killing so many and claiming their power for himself #he lost that but he gained so much and i'm so proud of him

"It suggests that whatever Mercedes has done to lose his trust, on some level, cannot be undone in a single season. And means Hamilton is stripping away the emotion and doing what’s best for him, which is all you can expect from any elite sportsperson."

#i'm so proud of him #more power always #betting on himself all over again 🥺🫶🏾 #he deserves the world and some more #lewis hamilton #f1 #lewis to ferrari #f1 off season 2023

after a lot of back and forth of “but I’m saving for episode 7, there’s gonna be four of them, gotta hoard” vs “this is a limited pickup, do you have EYES, go for the fairy ballerina” I ended up spending all 120 of my keys, didn’t get him, and now.

now they have the AUDACITY.

to go “oh btw he can also turn pink :) :) :)”

this is an attack on me personally and I have no choice but to vent my frustrations with an overuse of textures and watercolor brushes. if I can’t have him then at least let me have a million paper layers instead. >:(

#art #twisted wonderland #sorry this is so messy i'm just. done looking at it. #i got dorm azul instead which is...actually a pretty good consolation. but he can't turn pink so what is even the point. #gonna print out ortho's card images and tape them to my phone and pretend (which will have about the same effect let's be real) #anyway fairy gala 2022 amirite #he made HIMSELF into the prettiest (and pinkest) fairy ballerina anyone has ever seen! #i'm so proud! #this is the ortho empowerment power hour over here

a bird in the hand

“Hey uh, can I speak to Commissioner Gordon?” Officer Patricia Nolan looked up from what she’d been doing and stared. “It’s important,” the teen leaned forward conspiratorially, “Bat business, y’know?” The bullpen was always loud but right now it was silent, everyone stopping to watch their visitor. Just her luck Pat’s desk was the first one when you entered.

“Yes, I can see if he’s available,” she said faintly, glancing quickly over at what the boy was carrying in his arm but not sure how to broach the subject. She wasn’t as familiar with the capes as some of the others. “I’ll see if he’s available,” she continued as she picked up the phone on her desk. Her hands did not shake, her voice did not quiver. She was a Gotham City girl through and through, not much rattled her these days. But that’s not to say that the situation in itself wasn’t strange. Matt from from Vice speed walked by and was staring so hard he walked straight into the wall.

“Gordon,” the Commissioner answered with a sigh.

“Hey, It’s Pat Nolan,” Pat began. “You’re needed down in the bullpen, there’s a uh hero who wants to talk to you.” She glanced at the teen who was looking around the bullpen curiously. “It’s not a Bat.”

“Christ,” Gordon groaned. “Well who is it? Nevermind, I’m on my way. Too damn late for this; I thought Batman told all the other capes to stay out of the city?”

“He did, sir but I don’t exactly take orders from Batman,” the boy grinned. Pat gripped the phone a little tighter realizing he could hear Gordon through the phone. “And you probably guessed from the symbol that I’m Superboy,” he lowered his colored sunglasses with one hand. “The Suberboy.”

“Superboy will be waiting for you,” She said dutifully before replacing the phone. “The Commissioner will be down in a moment, do you want to sit?” Pat wasn’t entirely sure how to handle the situation so she just automatically defaulted to polite. It’s the reason her desk was so close to the front. 

“Nah, I’m good plus I gotta hold onto my precious cargo,” Superboy said, giving ‘his cargo’ a light bounce in his arm. Being able to hold that kind of weight singlehandedly without any sort of strain, that kind of alien power you only saw once you crossed the river to Metropolis. 

“Alright, I’m here, what do you- Christ on a Bike is that Robin?” Gordon jolted as he rounded the corner in his rumpled trench coat. “Is he alright?” He said but his tone was calm. Because while it was worrisome that the Boy Wonder was in the station at all, much less being held at Superboy’s hip like a toddler, the kid looked okay. His tights were a bit scuffed and he smelled vaguely of smoke but he looked entirely at ease in the other’s arm. His cheek was resting comfortably in the crook of Superboy’s neck looking, for all intents and purposes, deeply asleep.

 “Oh yeah, he’s fine,” Superboy shrugged. “Rob’s just been working this arms dealing case for like, a week straight. No one is exactly sure when’s the last time he slept so once he got everything sorted, he just crashed. So anyway,” he reached into his jacket and didn’t seem phased by half of the bullpen reaching for their weapons. 

He pulled out a USB and dangled it in front of Gordon. “Before he was forcibly put on the Dreamland Express, Robin wanted you to have this. It’s all his notes on the guns, who’s supplying them and evidence leading back to the guys in charge. We got some of the small fish tonight but you need a badge to get the the bigger ones.”

“Thanks,” Gordon mumbled, grabbing the USB hesitantly, like it was going to explode. “If I may ask, how did you get involved with this? Did the arms dealing originate in Metropolis?” Detective Mac groaned quietly in the back. They hated intercity especially investigations but it was worst with Metropolis, all ‘Superman this’ or ‘Superman that’. Pat kind of gets it now, the Supers have such a strong presence to them.  

“Oh no, I think Robbie said these guys came from the south like Florida or something,” Superboy frowned. “I’m here because this one-” another light shake of Robin who still did not stir. “Got so wrapped up in this case he forgot our date night,” he rubbed at his eyes. “Found him making one of those string evidence charts on the fridge because he ran out of room on the counter.”

“And Batman?” Gordon questioned, like he didn’t want to know the answer. 

“I think he’s in Japan on League business,” Superboy tilted his head in thought, “or was it Norway? Anyway not here. Rob always goes a little overboard when Bats isn’t around to spray bottle him into taking a break like hello, you’ve got nothing to prove, we already know you’re super sexy and way smarter than Batman.”

No one quite knew what to say to that so they just stayed quiet. Superboy glanced at the clock and groaned.

“Shit, I didn’t realize it was so late. I’m gonna be in so much trouble when I get home once I drop this idiot off,” he ended his sentence with a soft kiss to the top of Robin’s hair. “Hey, did anyone catch the end to the Knights/Meteors baseball game? I caught some of the eighth inning when Rob and I raided the warehouse where they were storing some of the guns, I think the Meteors were up.”

“They were,” Detective Driver said with a smug grin. “it was 8-9 Meteors but Matheson hit a triple at the bottom of the ninth and it ended 9-12 for the Knights.” 

“Hell, we keep crumping at the last minute,” Superboy huffed. “I’m telling you that new pitcher they brought in from St. Louis ain’t cutting it; hope they trade him back at the end of the season.”

“Might as well trade the whole team while you’re at it,” Driver goaded. “Metropolis hasn’t put up a good showing since the miracle season of ‘93. If I were you, kid, I’d fly to a city with a better team.” 

“Man, get off my back,” Superboy grinned. A couple people gasped quietly when he lifted himself up off the floor. “And be careful what you say; I doubt Robin will move to me if we decide to move in together which means y’all,” he clicked his tongue and did a one armed finger gun, “will have to deal with me on a more long term basis. Anyway, thanks for the help and uh the service you do. See ya.” 

He turned and flew out the way he’d came, down the stairs to the main lobby and presumably out the front doors. And the whole time, Robin hadn’t moved from his slumber as if there were nowhere safer than his friend’s -boyfriend’s?- arms. 

“Well that sure was something,” Montoya grumbled from the back.

“Bad enough we got Batman and his little kid freaks running around but now he have Supers too?” Chandler groaned, resting her forehead on the desk. 

“Did you guys see-,” Stacy, the secretary and unofficial Batsignal operator said, poking her head in. She winced, “I guess you did.” She smiled and held her hands over her heart. “Well I think they’re cute, SuperWonder is so two years ago, SuperRobin is the only true ship.”

“I have no idea what you’re saying and I don’t want to know,” Gordon sighed, shoving the USB into his coat pocket and shuffling out of the bullpen. “If you need me, I’ll be going over this evidence and wondering why I’m still in the game if lovesick teenagers are doing my job for me.”

#literally could not get the image of Kon just like casually talking to the GCPD while holding Tim on his hip whos just zonked #Kon: I'm helping :DDD #Tim 10.5 hours later when he wakes up: I can never show my face in that building ever again #I'm very proud of remembering the officer's names from Gotham Central #idk about personalities I did my best haha #Stacy ships it as she should #the GCPD finds they like Superboy #esp as he stops by more and more with Robin #yeah he's terrifying powerful but he can talk the talk while having that sarcastic bitchy attitude you need to survive in gotham #Robin shows up with evidence #GCPD: hey where's ur man??? #anyway Kon is a good boyfriend while also being so stupid but he's very punk rock and I love him so fucking much

some fun Caes facts

his older brother sold him to House Nivaeum to pay off a gambling debt. Caes was 8. his brother has since tragically passed away (Caes had nothing to do with that, of course. his brother was a gambler and a cheat, and his lifestyle was going to catch up to him sooner or later)

his name (Caesonius) comes from caesius meaning blue-grey. he's named for the distinctive pale color of his eyes

he's a classically-trained mage, taught by Magister Aneleus himself. his areas of expertise are subterfuge/spying (mind sliver, message, detect thoughts, invisibility, detect magic, find familiar) and brute force damage (booming blade, eldritch blast, chromatic orb, steel wind strike, disintegrate). Why bother training a spy and an attack dog when you could get both for the price of one?

he keeps a ceremonial dagger on his person as the material component for his weapon-based spell attacks. nothing like dealing 6d10 force damage for stabbing a guy with a tiny knife

he has a small snake familiar named Nizar who can most often be found up his sleeves. never hurts to have an extra pair of eyes or a little help recalling information

he does not have (and never has) any particular loyalty to House Nivaeum, and their ignoble and inglorious end is a constant source of satisfaction

#he's gonna be a magister! I'm so proud of him #all he's wanted in life is power and to play politics and get a slow-acting vengeance on anyone who has ever slighted him <3 #it was SUCH a fun session I hope these characters come back later #dadnd #caesonius #also: one of the MOST annoying things about deca is how he can't read her thoughts because of her ring

My mini contribution to @echoes-lighthouse's Evil Slasher Orphanage! My wife Anna and I are here to help, and brought a few more kids of our own.

I really thought I was a horror fan until I sat down to draw this and came up blank. I guess I'm not a slasher guy, because a LOT more Monsters and Beasts came to mind, so it took a while to form a list. Though I did include Sam who is certainly a Creeture but.. They're human enough.

#Emile's Arts #Proud Parent Posting #Evil Slasher Orphanage #I'm stealing the Entity's abilities from DBD and giving them to me #And then immediately using them on accident to bring all these kids into one reality #That doesn't have to be canon to the orphanage obviously I just love being an Eldritch Being but Stupid #Also Friday the 13th is a movie in the Scream franchise so I thought this was a fun way to explain that fkjsdfkdfdkj #Honorable mention goes out to Frankenstien's Monster he is my baby but I could not for the life of me choose a design for him #I knew I KNEW I wanted Brandon immediately amazing concept that movie horrid execution #What if you had the powers of God in Middle School. You'd kill people right??? Right. #Also Sam Trick R Treat my beloved amazing Comic series that I love their design and energy #Spirit of Halloween little guy #One year I will dress up as them.. one year #ALSO BUBBA #I was so surprised Bubba wasn't in the original Orphanage cast he's SUCH a sweet pea I love him #Do not let him in the kitchen I don't care how big and wet his puppy eyes are do not let him in there #I also included Billy Trick R Treat because I wanted to the kid who plays him in the movie adaptation is very cute #And I LOVE a murderous little kid it's incredibly funny to me #More honorable mentions I considered; #Fran Bow and Misfortune but neither of them are Slashers on Purpose really #Misfortune is just a victim and IF Fran did kill her parents it wasn't her own choice #Six LN as well I love her but again... Not really a slasher. Also she's like two feet tall #I also though M3gan but eeeeeeeeeeeh I dunno I might come back to that #I was thinking about Rin Dead By Daylight as well and she's still on the table I think she'd fit in #I was also originally going to do The New King from Chzo Mythos but changed to John just because he's more Slasher Child than DaCabe #And again I kept running through Monsters like from Crypt TV and such and decided against them #Me my children my wife and this random person who's farm we stumbled across and are now crashing in #It's fine Anna's very use to Farm Labor she'll be a great help #And she is VERY calm comforting mother-y when she eventually calms down #She's gonna dote all over those girls

Me, constantly: We have books about the presidents at home.

The History Hyperfixation (HH) in my brain, digging in its feet and desperately resisting being dragged away: But you left the McCullough John Adams biography just sitting there at Goodwill. It was only like two bucks!

Me: It was also a jillion pages long.

HH: I know! What a bargain!

Me: You would never actually read it. It would just sit there and stress you out.

HH: You underestimate my obsession.

Me: We can't afford another long book. We've still got Grant's memoirs to finish.

HH: And the Chernow biography of him.

Me: No.

HH: We already read the Kindle preview!

Me: We can't get any other library books until we finish the ones we have.

HH: But Gideon Welles wrote a diary! A primary source right from the center of Lincoln's Cabinet! We can spend more time with our boys!

Me: That library book excerpting Civil War primary sources was a mistake, wasn't it?

HH: What do you mean? Sitting up at 3 am reading the Crittenden Compromise was an excellent life choice!

Me: Interesting, yes. Excellent, no.

HH: Each section only takes a few minutes! You like short things!

Me: All that book will do is inflate our reading list.

HH: I fail to see how that's a problem.

Me, sighing: I need a nap.

#history is awesome #presidential talk #it turns out that gideon welles has at least two books about the cabinet #both in the public domain #and i really really must resist #that excerpt in the book was so good though #he's all 'seward was sticking his nose in everyone's business and convincing all the admirals that we can't reinforce sumter' #and i'm just sitting there wiping away tears like a proud mother sending her child to kindergarten like #'look at my favorite little supervillain go' #'seizing power plotting schemes and making bad decisions' #'they grow up so fast'

hmmmm i've been thinking about likeeeee the sacrifice/fighter dynamic w/r/t mimuro and how the two people closest to him, nisei and mei, are both fighters, and how mimuro both seems uncomfortable being a sacrifice but paradoxically is always trying to position himself as an authority over both nisei and mei despite like. refusing to really put his foot down with either of them. like he clearly values a veneer of normalcy with the way he treats nisei using his powers flippantly and the way he treats mei w/r/t her gender and the way he treats his own sexuality, but like. the sacrifice is the one in power and ostensibly has ownership over their fighter. a heterosexual man is the one in power and ostensibly has ownership over ‘his’ woman in a cisheterosexist patriarchy. and i think the way he is uncomfortable with being a sacrifice, with that context in mind, makes the "question" as much as there is one, of his sexuality really interesting.... he thinks he needs to be in a position of power to watch over nisei and mei, and this manifests as him defending his "heterosexuality", because it's something he associates with normalcy and thus power. but paradoxically he is uncomfortable with this power and with enforcing it! this is because he is gay. smiles.

#i just think mimuro's sexuality is way more interesting than like the other characters' because it's like a reflection of the way he-- #relates to power whereas for the other characters their relationships to power lie elsewhere #certainly sometimes in regards to sexuality in like. a general way but not specifically their orientation. if that makes sense. #mine #i feel like this one is kind of stating the obvious but i'm proud of it so putting it in the mine tag. sob.

I keep being genuinely surprised when I see other people play disco and get frustrated that people are so reluctant to cooperate I get stonewalled by Elizabeth and I’m like go girl give us nothing

#disco elysium #what could be cooler or sexier than a healthy distrust of cops #like #idk something in my brain is *very* aware of power imbalances #*especially* when they work in my favour #so having the characters just clearly and unapologetically assert their rights is a relief #otherwise I spend too much time trying to balance actually progressing the game with trying to #beat harry's dialogue options into something that doesn't blatantly overstep boundaries or involve manipulation #even talking to like... everart or the sunday friend is nice #because it's like oh okay I'm on the defensive here #I can sit back and relax and treat this as a fun little puzzle to figure out their goals and motivations #huh that's probably why I like Jean so much actually #idk how to explain it but like... as distainful as he is he treats harry very much as an equal rather than an authority figure #same with CUNO to some extent #the same is kind of true of the drunks but idiot doom spiral is annoying so he doesn't count #anyway are y'all proud of me i finally made my own post it only took an hour

#audio #putting my head through a wall saturday #this song makes me think about a few things but rn I'm thinking about LR on top of n beating the shit out of FP (their illegitimate father) #maybe he'd even be interested to know that his child has his explosive violent anger despite them never having met #maybe he'd be proud #it would at least make him smile #LR would be so fucking angry. they're 22 n he's 58 so it's a possibility they could win if he couldn't reach his gun #which he usually carries in a holster the front of his pants so if they're sat on top of him he can't reach it #idk if it would be a blind rage of punching him till he stops moving or a screaming crying spitting clawing thing #probably depends on His reaction #if he says anything. like in the middle of the violence he goes ''you really are my kid'' LR would likely start crying #and get sloppy so if FP really cared to live through that situation he could probably throw them off #but frankly I think he'd find it pretty fitting his adult child he never knew existed would be the one to catch up to him #and he's lived a satisfying life by his standards #this would all be solved if he gave a shit n gave them a hug though lmfao #but he doesn't care #beyond the brief entertainment they could bring him. esp since he could hold power over them #eugh what a guy #love my characters they're personifications of my issues lmfao #and the fact that they have identical eye colors and very similar eye shapes. sheesh. #like looking into your own eyes
