HEY, YOU! 🫵

Are you a Tumblr user? (Yes)

Do you love Grant Wilson? (I should hope so)

Did you listen to this week’s Teen Talk and think, “Hey, that’s me! I’m the Grant angst enjoyer who was unnecessarily sad about him having to kill that chimera despite all the other wacky violence in this podcast!” ????

Well, boy, do I have the fic for you!

Um. You should read my fic Silver Linings 😁 which is now complete!

It’s over 110k words of 13-14 year old Grant angst (yay) set in a normal life AU! Mostly about his relationships (with his parents, his classmates, and his soccer coach Darnell), as well as his queerness and mental health struggles :) I’d say it’s coming-of-age adjacent.

Sound interesting? (Say yes /j) GOOD NEWS! 😎 You can.. go read it! (Wow) But if you’ve already read it, I’m planning two sequels and at least two Darryl-centric spinoff fics. I’m not sure which will start next, but it will either be White Lies or Good as Gold! (first time I’m announcing those titles ^_^ everyone clap. /j again) Thank you for the support and love on this fic!

Okay shameless self-promo over 😁 My AO3 is chalcedony if you’re interested in checking it out! Idk if anyone will see this rn but I’ll probably rb it after the S2 finale or something idk. Okay byeeeeee :3c

#I made one of these after posting Ch 7 so I wanted to make another after Ch 10 #but I kept forgetting T_T anyway. here it is. silly self promo post #hehehe #chalcy stuff #dndads #dungeons and daddies #grant wilson #darryl wilson #^_^ okay byeeeee <3

I am breaking through my artblock with the force of a thousand suns because Kissy Missy is coming back in chapter 3 of Poppy Playtime and that's all I needed to see in the trailer tbh-

(I've said this before but to avoid possible drama, I'm aware the devs have made some pretty bad decisions in the past. The only thing I know for sure happened was the NFT situation. I'm not 100% sure of what drama actually happened since I've heard a bunch of stuff online, but this is case all I know is - with the NFT situation - they said sorry and haven't done them since. I do genuinely love this game and the character designs but otherwise I do not condone any past behaviour from the devs)

#That explination aside KISSY IS BACK #I never expected to fall in love with a pink gangly sock monkey with zero spoken lines #but here we are #I love Kissy so much #I need her to be safe by the time ch 3 ends otherwise my trust will never recover #Poppy Playtime

male authors, writing m/m friendships: their bond will develop through hundreds of chapters, we will get to see each stage of their budding relationship, they'll constantly be in each other thoughts, their first instinct will always be to reach for the other, their first worry will always be the other's safety, they'll spend every minute of the day together, they'll be complete opposites and yet perfectly compliment each other, they will put everything they ever loved in risk just to keep the other safe, they will give their life without hesitation to save the other's, they will fight and argue and tease and joke around but they will always be at each other's side at the end of the day, they will plan to spend the rest of their lives together, sharing the happy moments and the hard times, the idea of being without the other being unthinkable, the thought of being always together coming naturally, as easy as breathing.

the same male authors, writing m/f romance: she'll like,, smile once at him and he'll start thinking of marrying her and having children with her idk

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #ch 368 #LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK SIR #i remember the romance being sudden but this is fucking ridiculous lmaooooo #it came out of fucking nowhere!!! it's so shoehorned in there they almost cut off the heel to make it fit!!! #i don't think they've spent more than like.... 12 hours in the same room in all the years they've known each other.... what the fuck.... #and in fucking ch 368!! literally 40 ch away from the ending!! #less than 10% of the way to the end!!! i thought i was exaggerating when i said 90% of the novel had no romance but no!!! #i was fucking right!!!! #this is........ infuriating skjashdkdsf #to be clear i am not saying friendships cannot do everything i just listed here #of course they can!! more friendships in fiction should be like that!! but!!! you cannot write a friendship between two characters like tha #and then put one of those two characters in a romantic relationship with a completely different character #and not give it even a tenth of the attention you gave to the friendship and expect me to find it realistic!!! or compelling!!! #either give it the same level of attention or just!! don't include it!! #that's also an option!! just leave the incredibly compelling friendship you wrote be the highlight of the novel!! #let it be the most important relationship of the plot!! let it be the happy ending for those characters!! that's perfectly okay!!! #FUCK!!!! #i'm fine i'm normal i'm okay

seeing a post that basically confirmed the obvious disparity in content made me think more about a scene i would have liked to see with gale and that i've been thinking about for a while now.

i always felt a bit sad that his condition is so often treated as a joke by the fandom and to a lesser extent by the game itself. i always thought that this is partially down to the fact that we don't truly get so see gale actively be in pain due to his condition, other than brief glimpses and hints:

we do hear the urgency in his voice when he explains when and why he needs an artefact and the relief in his voice when the protag chooses to help him.

we see it, too, when he is afflicted by the arcane hunger condition:

we get glimpses of it when he consumes an artefact:

he mentions it, too, in his dialogues, but it's very much downplayed by gale or phrased in such a way that is meant to overplay it with humour, or perhaps even to distance himself from it by using metaphors:

that is until we actually get to see it through his eyes, if only for the briefest of moments:

*Its teeth, its claws, it's unstoppable as it digs through and becomes part of you. And gods, it is ever-hungry...*

gale also has an idle animation where he--quite often--reaches up to touch the orb, perhaps because it flares with pain, like an old wound is wont to do:

(gif by @bladeofavernus)

from the last conversation we have with gale, and after catching all of these little moments of things he says or does with how the orb affects him, we learn that consuming the magic from artefacts no longer has any effect at all. the only solution that tara and he were able to find no longer works:

it would scare him and imbalance him, and it would finally destabilise the orb, make it more volatile.

but what happens in the game after that? the orb becoming volatile enough for the artefacts to no longer have an effect has no consequences at all: you are able to do the tiefling party, all quests in the underdark, the entirety of the grymforge, and, should you choose to do so, the entirety of the mountain pass and rosymorn monastery without an incident at all or any mention of the condition itself/any discomfort or fear it might cause.

there's no urgency here, no follow-up, to what the narrative set up... and then we meet deus ex elminster and the orb is stabilised, and the urgency that came before literally is handwaved out of existence.

what i would have liked instead to happen--or at least to bridge the gap between the artefacts no longer working and elminster stabilising it to be used on mystra's behalf--is the following:

i think it would have been nice to have a scene with gale where we do get to see--on a much smaller scale--him losing control over the orb, have the protag and the companions see what he is trying desperately to keep contained within himself, what gnaws at him, what continues to haunt him.

it could happen perhaps after a particular gruelling and intense fight--and there are enough of that in the underdark and at the mountain pass. it could have been a ! conversation, providing both friendship and romance content.

have the orb act up after expending so much energy to manipulate the weave to the fullest of his abilities, have gale manage to reign it in, but barely, show that it takes a lot of power and effort for him to do so.

that it hurts, with none of gale's metaphors to hide behind or jokes to play it off.

have the audience truly see the gravity of what he is going through.

#gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #bg3 spoilers #i think it also would have made the scene with elminster and mystra's demands even more impactful than it already was #also i am a sucker for parallels but gale falling to his knees again and tav pulling him up again as on on-going motive makes me Feral #anyhow excuse the long meandering here #many thoughts #but my brain is literally soup rn #ch: gale dekarios #vg: baldur's gate 3 #series: baldur's gate #meta: mybg3 #long post for ts

You've moved to a new city and your newest friend is the man that lives across the hall- Toji Fushiguro. Despite his constant flirting (and your attraction to him), you're not quite ready to jump into anything serious. You accidentally learn he's hiding his son from you, and his messy life slowly unravels as you start helping this single father take care of his son.

The five-year-old Megumi instantly gets attached to you. He notices everything, including how Toji seems to actually be a better dad with you around. He starts scheming to get the three of you together more often, in hopes you'll take the place his mother left when she abandoned them.

Reader is written a bit sassy and shy. She/her pronouns & tits & vagina (when we reach the smut part)

AO3 mirror

cw: child abuse/neglect (he's a bad father...), fuckboy Toji, gambling, alcohol, no curses au, found family, eventual smut, DILF Toji, Toji is motivated by sex, anger issues. There may be additional warnings on the individual chapters.

chapter i: the third floor (3.6k words)

chapter ii: truth or dare (3.5k words)

chapter iii: fushiguro (3.3k words)

etc.
