#i can say with absolute certainty

I’d love it if my brain didn’t latch onto a new media I watch and just, make that my only defining personality trait.

Like, actually I’d love to be able to engage with regular media and not like, constantly have a song going through my head and the need to consume more of the content and better versions of the content.

Haha thank you.

#i can say with absolute certainty #I don’t want this actually #I just wanna watch YouTube #I don’t want ‘Meant to Be Yours’ running through my head #watching the Heathers Musical was a mistake #‘We should watch this since we are bored’ #‘A lot of people seemed to like it’ #MISTAKE #WORST CHOICE #JAIL FOR BRAIN #JAIL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS #literally I just want peace

anyone else thinking about how us crows canonically reacted to that diorama in the aquarium? like. imagine being q!phil, desparately trying to convince himself that none of this is happening and his dreams are just dreams... while all of the crows surrounding you are going NUTS

vocalising, ruffling their feathers, flapping their wings - immediately and viscerally reacting to all of the trappings of endlantis and the king.

im just. can you even imagine trying to process that. imagine ur kid wakes up and can't see any of the shit that's driving you + ur entire murder to hysterics, even when they're all Clearly reacting to... something in the aquarium. imagine phil trying to say he's fine and that he just needs air while the crows are fucking RIOTING.

we knew + were shouting abt the king and endlantis LONG before q!phil was able to acknowledge it. and the dissonance of that is just,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, OGH!

#qsmp #q!phil #q!philza #there's more i want to say abt. q!phil's simultaneous knowledge and lack of certainty abt hardcore #but i don't actually know for sure what q!phil/cc!phil have said on the topic so far. wasn't hardcore one of the last things q!phil #remembered before the island? and then he dreamt he was back there WHILE 'dreaming' about the birdhouse? #imo if the birdhouse was just a dream and he's leaning HARD into denial for it he's gotta be trying his best to repress what he does/doesn' #know abt hc too. yes its only dreams yes it was the most vivid thing he's felt in his life yes he knows its lore and entities by name yes #none of its real bc they can't get to him bc if they CAN get to him there's absolutely nothing he can do to stop them. y'know?

Hiya Lauren! I remember a while back you reblogged something about mark being romantically involved with nearly all other queer atypicals and it did mention oliver/mark as unrequited and I wonder if you could elaborate a little more on that?:D I'm just curious:) You don't have to of course! Ty!

oh gosh, I WISH I remembered this - I don't reblog very much that isn't fanart, so I'm having a hard time recalling what post this would've been and what I might've said/added to it!

I don't think of Mark/Oliver as unrequited at all. That said, in The AM Archives specifically, we were not writing toward that ship - it wasn't the intention and we had no idea that Andrew and Kristian had that chemistry until we were recording the whole season all at once. And then we weren't sure if we were going to get another season at all! So there definitely was a period when I was more uncertain about it, mostly because it was unclear what the future would hold for any of the characters.

While they don't get together in The College Tapes, I do think that they very slowly figure things out in the months and years afterward. In the TCT planner (which is technically the last bit of canon that exists in the Bright Universe, in terms of timeline), there's heavy implications that they're living together - or at least spending a lot of time together - and I think all of us who made The College Tapes were thinking of them as a romantic ship when writing that show.

They both have buckets and buckets of trauma and unresolved issues (as did Mark and Sam - and their inability to work through it together/the way they first met and got together, etc. is one of the reasons they didn't ultimately work out) so I can't say what their future holds, but as far as I'm concerned, they're headed toward romantic involvement the last time we hear from them (or already there).

I hope that answers your question!

I have a lot of thoughts about Yaevinn in general but I especially like the association with beggartick blossoms, something that is at best loosely supported by the actual source text of the game, but compels me anyhow.

Beggartick blossoms, though considered a "common" sort of plant, and though they are later reworked into a much more commonly occurring plant, as of the first Witcher game, they were supposed to be a relatively rare aqueous plant, and the particular variety that grew plentifully in the swamp forest outside Vizima happened to grow on land. These plants are valuable because they are used in the production of fisstech; the blossoms are both poisonous and hallucinogenic, and lend these properties to the drug. However, just as refined fisstech can be used as anaesthetic, the unrefined blossoms can be used as an analgesic in small doses in order to treat pain.

Yaevinn is not a highborn elf or an Aen Saevherne, his status as a "legendary Scoia'tael commander" as stated in the bestiary entry for Sylvans in TW3 is not yet secured, and he is just one among the Scoia'tael who have made camp in the swamp forest. This becomes especially marked if one considers the extratextual context that his in-game character is an amalgamation of the three Scoia'tael commandos that were originally intended to appear in the game before being combined in development, and his design is the standard armour worn by all male elven warriors in-game as opposed to something unique; he is distinguished from the default model design only by his hair and the details of the face. He is, by his trade and his nature, a warrior, an archer by the novel text and a swordsman by the game text. He was thorough in his violence, but not senseless; Iorveth, who knew him, described him as having "beautiful dreams", of seeing combat and killing as "poetry". He remained ideologically faithful even after multiple losses, continuing the combat and killing for the sake of his people and his desire to create a better life for them; or perhaps a better way to look at it is not that he remained faithful but that he returned to his ideology every time, that after each disillusionment, he was restored. After all his losses, he still hoped to secure a better future for his people.

Of common stock, of a particular variety. Deadly, associated with visions or dreams, used for restoration -- in the form of medicine or revolution.

There can be an additional metaphorical reading in the commercialisation of the beggartick blossoms in association with Yaevinn's cynicism, his descent from his "beautiful dreams" into the cruel reality of the rebellion, just as these blossoms which were once offerings for vodyanoi divinities now being gathered and sold as drug components.

Another, less metaphorical association that can be made between Yaevinn and the beggartick blossoms is in regard to an optional line of dialogue from Gramps, the old man whom Geralt can escort to the shrine of Melitele upon arriving in the Swamp Forest. He gives an alternate recipe for perfume, which is a craftable item in The Witcher and has an alchemical formula that the player can create. This alternate recipe entails grinding beggartick blossoms and beast fangs in alcohol to create perfume. According to the game's alchemy system, this should not be possible as the proposed ingredients do not have the required alchemical components to create the craftable item Perfume; it can be posited that this is perhaps a simplified or otherwise popular recipe as opposed to a proper alchemical formula. This particular recipe is remarkable to me in the fact that Yaevinn is nearly ideally situated to fulfil it.

Yaevinn does not spend his time at the Scoia'tael encampment; he can instead be found at the druids' grove. Wolves nearby provide a source of beast fangs. The beggartick grows plentifully throughout the swamp, and alcohol can be procured through trade or theft, as he has contact with the druids and the encampment is situated near to the bricklayers' village. The beast fangs would serve no practical use, and the beggartick is plentiful enough that a blossom could be taken at no cost to the unit, therefore it is possible that Yaevinn could create this perfume himself without drawing unduly on resources for the sake of vanity. He's quite likely to possess a bit of a vain streak; while some aesthetic choices could either be considered signs of this vanity or simply be put down to character design -- the distinctive loose hair despite the impracticality, or the very thin brows in a different colour from his hair, for instance -- Geralt will note in his journal that Yaevinn comes across as "conceited" when they first meet. He's very proud and that pride likely extends to cosmetic matters. While a rebel living in a swamp forest cannot be draped in finery, it's a small luxury that he can afford.

I find that it also adds a new layer to his interactions with Geralt. The player's actions affect the extent to which Geralt and Yaevinn will interact, but the initial meeting is inevitable and they find themselves quickly reaching mutual respect, regardless of how things proceed from there. But in this first game, Geralt is amnesic and has very little idea of who he is and who is important to him; and yet he still finds himself drawn to a proud figure, slender and dark-haired, with a stern countenance and a sharp and clever tongue, scented of floral perfume.

#rambles #yaevinn #the witcher games #i think a lot about yaevinn #and the beggartick makes for interesting symbolism i think #also i do not want to reduce his relationship with geralt to being a shadow of yennefer because that's not it #i think it can add a new facet to the reading of the relationship but it's not just that #i think their relationship is really really well developed tbh #love love love the gradual progression of how yaevinn addresses him #vatt'ghern when they first meet #then gwynbleidd #and wolf #and only when they are well and truly allied does he ever call geralt by his name #'Geralt! Are you alright?' #i couldn't say with absolute certainty #i last played tw1 a year ago #but that is the only instance i can think of off the top of my head #where yaevinn calls him by name and not by a sobriquet of some form #they're practically pet names #anyway i could go on about him #and them #just in general #but this is enough nonsense for now i think

Also I wanna apologise for my strong words and insult. I just hate this telephone game, and also trying to be “the better person” while just throwing random shit. She (Rue) is a victim of Wilbur and she deserves support for that, but for the rest she can go fuck herself.

If she’s right, then I will take everything back, but if we look at the situation rn, it’s easy to see which one seem to be the most trustable, like I said.

honestly even if she's telling the truth going "believe victims!" when you've said nothing except an accusation is just bad form? like. i'm sorry but i stand by everything i've said regardless of the truth of the matter (not that i think this is a "situation" at all, once again, anything she says will be taken seriously when she actually makes an effort to seem serious).

going "believe victims!!!!" as a trump card that indicates to an audience that "you HAVE to believe me because of a Moral Obligation to Stand With Victims even though i've provided no proof of any of my claims and am just pointing fingers" doesn't make you seem trustworthy at all. asking people to blindly believe the words you say because they're Bad People otherwise helps absolutely no one. honestly i don't see any point in giving her or anything abt this any more attention when all we have so far are unsupported claims and hearsay, so this'll be the last ask i answer abt it. i really don't care abt what she's getting up to it's not like she's a cc im interested in

(ur ask was fine, i'm just not publishing it bc i really dont see the point of giving her and her claims any more attention)

#the askers #not to like. silence her. she can say whatever the fuck she wants on her twt acc idgaf #i'm also not gonna pay attention to her for the time being because literally why would i care #if i listened to every person that says the word 'dream' under the sun i'd have absolutely no time at all #like. i'm not making any claims about knowing For Sure what did or didn't happen in any scenario #what i can say though with absolute certainty is that you can't expect me to believe your words Just Because of a hashtag #(you as in general you not you anon) #like at the end of the day there is nothing here for me to gaf about. so idgaf

my 13 yo sister called me a karen bc i saved my sundae from my last dairy queen trip and when i finally ate it i was upset that they gave me fudge instead of syrup :|

i was complaining. in my own home. Days Later abt an incorrect order and somehow that makes me a karen??? she was like "ur getting mad at minimum wage workers" Ok. and?

if i had the opportunity to Ask them to fix it i wouldve!! part of the reason i was so annoyed was bc i Couldnt get it fixed and i had to suffer thru an ice cream that was miserable to eat. one time they tried to give me caramel but i noticed and had my mom correct them! i was just like "hey. that doesnt look like chocolate syrup" and Problem Solved

god forbid a picky eater be picky!!!! how dare i be upset that i was given smth i didnt want!!!

#i can now say with Absolute Certainty i do NOT like fudge. its too thick and doesnt mix into the ice cream and also tastes weird #shes even pickier than me tho!! she eats way fewer things than i do!!! ik for a Fact if she got smth she didnt want she would be sad too #if they gave her the wrong donuts she would be all sad and pouty so wth #being annoyed abt a wrong order thats far too late to change is not being a ''karen'' #its being upset that my little treat actually sucked and was gross and bad and not pleasant at all #torch chatter
