astarion origin playthrough worth it just for all the extra moments where he does the "sad wet cat" face

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #astarion #*kisses his forehead* my awful little bastard man... i love you and your big sad watery eyes. #IT'S SO FUCKING QUIET THOUGH IF YOU YOURSELF ARE PLAYING HIM GOOD LORD #I'M SO USE TO HIM COMPLAINING TO MY TAV!!!! #OR BANTERING WITH HIM OR KARLACH OR WYLL!!! #I MISS HIS THEATRICS!!!!!!! #not that it's ENTIRELY quiet. until i found karlach i was travelling with shadowheart lae'zel and gale. #and let me tell you. gale and lae'zel do NOT shut the fuck up if they are together. #they were literally having an entire tinder date while we were trecking through the woods to go get karlach. #i NEVER knew they talk so much because while i've travelled with them individually in past saves... #...i've NEVER had them in my party at the same time! #gale is actually pretty nice to lae'zel! he asks a lot of questions but doesn't condescend her as he does others sometimes. #that's probably because he's afraid of her though. I would be too were I nothing more than a wizard with 8 strength. #I do like how you can look at pretty much any two companions and get a well written and generally enjoyable dynamic! #It feels like they considered that a lot of people would want to maybe pair off the companions they didn't romance with each other! #and wanted it to be easy for really any pairing to work... if a person just paid attention to their shared interactions.

I wish there were more black people who were into iwtv so I can talk about how Louis's class and race interests intersected

#iwtv #amc iwtv #iwtv 2022 #its so crazy cus hes from a rich lightskin family in new orleans #like he says hed be a free man of color (not black) if not for jim crow #the intraracial dynamics of new orleans pre-1970 is so genuinely interesting to me and we never get to really get into them bc louis spends #all his time with white/nonblack people and when he is with his black daughter its different bc theyre so isolated from the great black com #like louis was absolutely in jack n jill as a kid. hed be in a blue vein society. hed be an alpha based off his name alone like #hes the black bourgeois class and its so crazy that people say hes middle class in fanworks like no babe. they had darkskin servants #i think it also stems from people relating blackness to poorness. ldpdl is not poor in any sense of the word #he inherented a literal plantation!!!! but because hes black people downplay his class interests (except for other black people) #yknow who really was poor? lestat! like eating syrup sandwiches with the lights and water cut off by the city poor #and yet people act like he grew up hyper rich in fanworks and its like... thats not what happened #you can talk about how jim crow and white supremacy squashed/manipulated the black elite class in nola while acknowledging louis' class #like they both came into the relationship with money (louis' money might have been shorter than lestats #but they still had money) #ldpdl #like i would even wager that louis family dont even consider themselves black like that #cus blackness is defined by whiteness and since louis spends all his time with white people bc of his business hes treated as and sees him- #self as black in a way that his family isnt. theyre only black when theyre made black if that makes sense #theyre black when white people are around

Thinks about Micolash and Laurence’s rivalry that never strays from the confines of academic snark or the occasional jab despite their shared ambition(and possibly also just accompanying a general friendship they could have had since they worked together at some point. Idk I’m a softie. Sue me.) eventually involving into a full on intellectual divorce. Cries. Explodes. 72 casualties.

#will delete #I am just having thoughts #like yeah listen I love the toxic aspects of their dynamic especially peak healing church #and I’m honestly shocked most people put Micolash in the seat of power there #if anything I think he’d be underhanded with having dirt on Laurence’s operation or his reputation #but yknow. headcanons vary #consider: they could have been soft once. they could have been #and they could have stopped each other’s descent into their respective cosmic obsession(blood and insight) #but neither can actually let the other have his way. if Micolash abandons his research and just does whatever Laurence commands him to #he’ll never be able to pursue his own interest(which could even stave off the scourge). it’d be Byrgenwerth all over #but if Laurence lets Micolash go and just do whatever his silly heart desires #not only will he legit go insane but itd happen at the worst of times. he needs to priortize the blood while they still have time #so they both just. stalemate each other to death #yadda yadda insufferable academics believing only their method must be correct to the detriment of the other #not in a ‘I personally hate you’ way but in a ‘why won’t you just listen to me’ way #I just think there’s fun to be had there. they’re both horrible. #also idk this is being prompted by Laurence being typecast into being completely helpless at the height of his power. against MICOLASH??? #let’s let him be a little evil too come on now #but idk. maybe my take is wack

genuinely i think a large part of what makes kuniharu such a bad father is that hes a manchild who thinks of kusuo more like a brother than a son

#the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo no psi nan #saiki k #possibly partially because kusuos powers made him seem older/more mature than he really was/is #and because both of his sons are so independent that he never felt the need to really be a father to them #the way he talks to kusuo and the casual violence of their relationship makes more sense to me as a sibling dynamic #than as a parent and their child #i genuinely wonder if kuniharu wouldve matured/grew into a better person if hed had ''normal'' kids #also like. kuniharu and kurumi had kids too young #some people can deal with that well but they obviously couldnt #and they also clearly didnt get much help from kurumis parents considering the fact that they didnt know of kusuos powers #and i have to assume that was from kurumi and kuniharu purposefully keeping them away #since kurumis parents seem so eager to interact with their grandsons

The whole "Claudia is now his sister"/Louis' sibling comparisons are never gonna sit right with me because that's never going to erase the fact that Claudia exists as a vampire partly because of him. Their relationship will never have this clearly defined role of siblings in the same manner Louis had with Grace or Paul, even if he was their older brother and was implicitly given the role of providing for them as the successor and manager of his family's estate. Because Louis was never responsible in part for their creation, the reason why they existed the way that they do in terms of behavior and life itself.

It also makes his betrayal of her all the more heartbreaking in ways that him and Grace drifting apart never will. He was her father, and didn't provide emotional support for her. She had to turn the tables and try to assume the role of being on an equal level because of this failure but this doesn't make him not choosing her any less painful than it did the first time. Even as they shift roles, take or give emotional responsibility one has towards the other, the fact that Claudia exists the way she does because of him and Lestat will always be there.

#interview with the vampire #claudia #louis de pointe du lac #it's why in a way Lestat's whole 'I am your maker' rant is relevant #not in terms of him trying to keep his veil of control over her #but in terms of how no matter how she tries to shift positions; switch roles #put on the costume of 'sister/companion/mother/knight' #she will always be on a lesser position than him or even Louis #because THEY are her parents #even on a physical level she's technically weaker because she's in the body of a teenager #her given role of daughter will never be shed; especially when both of them took to physically abusing her #and tbh I personally don't like acting as if Claudia having to take on the role of Louis' protector/therapist/sister #is a positive thing in any way #it's basically his own child being forced by circumstances to be the adult #and it's such a fucked up dynamic to me #i'm not saying Louis is responsible for that because he had his own issues and then there's Lestat who acerbates the whole situation #but consider it from Claudia's angle: she keeps Lestat away from Louis for SIX years #then Louis takes him back; and even tells her to get used to it and to try to be more open with her own abuser #all the while Claudia gives him nothing but understanding and time; pleads with him to run away together #i can't even start on how his betrayal of her after the attempted murder is not only the final nail of the coffin #but the only result she gets after emotionally supporting him throughout this entire situation #anyway no offense to anyone that makes Claudia/Grace/Paul edits in relation to Louis #it's just that even without the ep7 reveal the whole thing feels sour to me in episode 6 #because that is very much not his sister/brother protecting him; that's his daughter #Claudia should not have to do this shit on her own; she should not have to assume another role just to be considered seriously #in any way by either Louis or Lestat

Also decided to give a go to the caption thing again since this one’s rather dialogue-heavy!

[Panel 2] Peepers: Uhm...sir? Hater: What. Peepers: Could you- do you have the full paperwork on our health plan?

[Panel 3] Hater: Health plan? Peepers what in grop’s name are you talking about??

[Panel 4] Peepers: It’s really no big thing, I just wanted to see what was (and wasn’t) covered-

[Panel 5] Hater: Commander Peepers. Are you planning to commit insurance fraud on my dime? And you’re asking me how?

[Panel 7] Peepers: P- hahahaha! I would never dream of it, Lord Hater!

[Panel 8] Hater: Then-? Peepers: I just want to see what’s covered, sir. Like I said already...

[Panel 9] Hater: Hrmph. It’s all personally approved by me, so feel free to ask, Commander.

li tianxi blaming herself for her parents not divorcing and because they don't things escalate past boiling point. blaming herself in the first place for the tensions between them because she has needs and not everyone is willing to try and meet her with them. li tianxi choosing to look away and not say what she sees anymore so this won't repeat. but in the process just ending up enabling tianchen as he spirals down and down.

li tianchen blaming himself because he wanted to fix things for his mum and do what she couldn't but instead he gets her dead. and tianchen just wants to protect tianxi like he failed to protect his mum but he doesn't try to actually *understand* her. so instead his efforts eventually drive her away because there's only so much she's willing to take. she didn't want to be 'protected' like this.

they've both lost their parents and tianxi doesn't want anyone to suffer as she has whilst tianchen wants everyone else to suffer as he has. everyone except tianxi.

wanting to protect someone but not giving them the agency in the decision. in whether they even want to be 'protected' in this way.

#me as always linking it back to the shiguang dynamic with that last sentence huh #link click #link click spoilers #sth again about cycles of abuse. tianxi the eternal victim. tianchen the victim at first but needing the control to never be a victim again #calling it 'hunter' bc that's what he's been told and it's what he clings to bc if not he's just another wild hurt beast #I don't know how much is intentional but the way that the twins' roles are gendered is kinda interesting? #not totally sure if I'm a fan (esp w/ what happened to ltx) but I can see what I think it's getting at #when they had ltc refusing the phone call bc 'no one in the family is mentally ill' + qj's arc having those toxic masculinity vibes #qj taking the role that li fan originally held so even when the twins escape they never actually do. they're held in these roles. #also. it's interesting that ltx was always considered disabled before anything else happened. + then the mutism was the trauma response. #like. her very existence she felt was the cause of tension and she had that knowledge but wanted them to stay as this happy family #that probably never even existed. + like I said not a huge fan of how her chara was treated but she represented hope for a reason #she had that hope within her back then and held onto it until now. it could only die with her. and that's why tianchen lets go. #shiguang daili ren spoilers

Something about rich kid Mike Wheeler and poor kid Will Byers being best friends (and in love), rich kid Lucas Sinclair and poor kid Max Mayfield being in love, and rich kid Nancy Wheeler and poor kid Jonathan Byers being in love, all without a second thought, just makes my heart happy.

It just proves that money doesn't matter. Lucas and Mike and Nancy don't care about the fact that Max and Will and Jonathan don't have money. They don't pity them. They love them for who they are.

#the rich x poor dynamic was talked about with jancy in season 3 but it makes sense since they were older and had jobs #and they worked it out #the kids dont even talk about it. they dont think of it as important enough to consider #lucas saw max's living conditions and didnt blink at all #(and lucas is rich. remember he and mike are neighbors in the rich neighborhood) #and especially for will and mike. i wonder if mike's parents ever tried to dissuade mike from being so close to will bc the byers were poor #but will and mike grew up together and mike never saw will as lesser or treated him with pity just cause he is poor #i just love that all of these ships love each other regardless of their money situation and social status #stranger things #will byers #mike wheeler #byler #lucas sinclair #max mayfield #lumax #nancy wheeler #jonathan byers #jancy

every time I see people insist that the stark sisters will automatically hate each other and say that sansa "bullied" or "traumatized" arya (or vise versa) my eyes threaten to roll out of my skull. some of y'all truly have no idea how real sibling dynamics work.

#᯽ ooc. ⊱ ── ❝ 𝘖𝘩 𝘯𝘰 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪. ❞ #the irony is I'm saying this as an only child #the closest thing I had to siblings were a bunch of cousins I was raised with #and if I had to live with those bitches every day of my life for my entire childhood? yeah we would fight all the time too #why are we sanitizing EVERYTHING?? why do we put everything into a black&white box when these dynamics are more complicated than #being mean to someone = you hate them?? #you are not gonna have a perfect conflict free relationship with anyone who is THAT close to you in your life #if you do??? if you never clash even over something stupid or petty or irrelevant??? consider. you are not actually close to them. #your relationship is not evolving. you don't truly *know* each other. #because anything that goes deeper than surface level projection of self image requires going mask-off to varying degrees #and having someone close enough to see the worse parts of you. because they DO exist. every one has flaws and bad behaviors #carefully hidden beneath the layers of the image we project #closeness requires letting another person see that #and sibling dynamics (non-withstanding traumas / abnormal childhoods / other factors) are most exemplary of that #because sometimes your biggest rival that you swear you would be better off without is also the person you would die for

was listening to an advice podcast and a letter writer opened by saying she realized a few years ago that ALL her friendships were Toxic and ended ALL of them and now she wants a "chosen family like the lgbtq community has" my eyebrows shot UP

#possibly too much to unpack???? #the advice-givers were pretty generous but i'm just stuck on “all of them were toxic” no elaboration or specificity like girl all of them??? #also i don't even like it when other lgbtq people act like a 'chosen family' is just something that you get issued #or a type of relationship other people in the community owe you #like you still have to put in a lot of time and work and you'll likely have like an 80% rate of potential friendships going nowhere #to say nothing of the ones that become properly friendly but never have that level of depth or intensity #not to say those are bad because we often need a broad variety of relationships but like #also i'm not saying this lady was the problem in the failed friendships but if you're the common denominator and you don't even #mention considering or working on your own role in those dynamics nor do you offer an account of what the other person actually did #not even something like 'i had a falling out with one person and everyone chose them' or something like that #well i have questions #that will never be answered :( #sorry for loving gossip #personal nonsense

Tangle has such good Cool Big Sis energy with Tails . . . like in a lot of ways she has similar drive and energy to Sonic (albeit maybe a little less responsible in some areas since she's new to adventuring and mostly just grew up living a normal life in a normal town), and so in that way it's easy to see how she and Tails could become really fast friends if they were ever given more time to work with each other. But even apart from that, we've already seen how she would look after him, too, because even if she lived in a normal life in a normal town and was never responsible for looking out for anyone else (she and Jewel are the same age I'm pretty sure), she still would if given the opportunity and we actually have that with Tails in canon.

Like I don't blame the characters for the bad writing in Forces because obviously they have no agency over how they were written, and Tails in particular was just butchered in that game, but . . . well, given that we see Tangle working with Tails and checking in on his emotional state right after the Metal Virus ended and Sonic went MIA, I feel pretty confident in saying that she wouldn't have just let him fuck off into the wilderness if he ever "lost it" during an apocalypse scenario. Like again, the fact that Amy and Knuckles did during Forces is just another example of bad writing in that game, but Amy isn't that much older than Tails and Knuckles is used to being a loner, so I could kind of give it a pass. But Tangle really stepped up here and checked in on Tails and didn't let him just brush her off, and she's just such a Cool Big Sis who, yes, will absolutely help him test fire new rocket launchers with no safety gear and 100% agrees that cookies are an acceptable breakfast, but also genuinely cares about his emotional well-being and will look out for that, too.

Also, they're cool tail buddies. What's not to love?

#really hope we get to see more of this dynamic in the future #dgmw i love Tails interacting with his big bro #but now he can have a big sis too and that's just as cool!!! #also this thought may or may not have occurred to me based on what i'm currently working on #tangle the lemur #miles tails prower #anyway it's no coincidence that Tangle is in my top 4 Sonic series characters #i just love her so much #actually it's more like top 2 bc i have two characters who tie for 1 #and then two who tie for 2 #so it's four characters crammed into two spots lol #also considering Sonic accidentally broke Tails' data collector during the Metal Virus #& then had to deliver that news to Tails who started crying when he heard it #I'm sure Sonic himself would start crying on some level knowing that Tails STILL doesn't feel like Sonic ever let him down #you hear that Sonic? no matter how much you hate yourself for the Metal Virus #your little bro still believes in you & sees you as his hero #HE LOVES YOU BITCH!!! HE AIN'T NEVER GONNA STOP LOVING YOU . . . BITCH!!! #(i'm sick ignore how all over the place these tags are) #(i'm allowed to let my ADHD roam free when I'm ill) #sth

silly shipping nonsense, because we both know romance only exists when it's funny: inkypages, but it's tang having an "affair" with macaque to piss off pigsy. freenoodles isn't breaking up, macaque is just tang's Pigsy Annoyance Vessel of the week, and tang is having so much fun :) macaque is also having fun but he is convinced pigsy will kill him in cold blood as soon as his back is turned and that's putting a significant damper on things. call that flirting with danger. haha (is shot)

i love this idea sm. whenever he gets a chance tang just walks up to macaque and says smth like “i’ve been trying to do some research on the journey to the west… id love to get an exclusive interview with a primary source ;)” he thinks it’s incredibly sexy, and nobody agrees (mac pretends he does to fuck with pigsy tho). every conversation is like a game of chicken where tang and macaque see who can get pigsy closest to the edge, and the loser gets attacked with whatever cooking utensil pigsy has on hand (and he Always has something)

#lmk #this is so funny to me i love it #i am a sucker for Guys Fucking With Each Other #also i had never considered inkypages before but that’s such a fun dynamic to play with!! #(also!! sidenote!! inkypages is such a cute ship name!! this fandom always has such banger names) #ask!! #wlw-wukong!!

OH you don’t have to feel obligated to write if you’ve got things to do ^^’ (I won’t say NO but just that I wasn’t trying to get sum’n out of it on my end you feel?: I did see a recent reminder for divorced Frankie though - any thoughts/thots you’d care to spare?)

IM SO SORRY ITS TAKEN ME SO LONG TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THIS BUT I HAVE SOME INCREDIBLY SPECIFIC FRANKIE THOUGHTS (that will be turned into a fic eventually i promise im writing it i SWEAR)

he is in his heart and soul, a project dad/husband. this means that this man? always fixing some shit or starting a new project around the house. You cannot stop him.

you guys get a fixer upper house when you first get married. It's below your pay with some issues here and there, but frankie worked contracting jobs with his dad since highschool and took wood shop every year so he insists he can fix it.

you'll come home to power tools scattered on the dinner table and paint covering his pants because "why would I pay somebody twice the amount it's worth when I can just do it myself?"

if you go to the thrift store with this man and point something out saying "we could fix that up, don't you think." please be prepared to come home and find him working on it in the backyard.

he's covered in saw dust and has the imprint line of his goggles around his face but he's grinning and pulling you into his arms.

"jesus christ francisco" "what? You said that dresser would look nice in our room"! "but i didn't think you were going to actually get it!"

your clothes getting covered in sawdust and wood-stain as he kisses you and claims its "workman's comp"

francisco cursing up a storm while reading the instructions on a crib your mother bought from ikea because "these instructions are like the fucking davinci code" and tossing them aside before saying fuck it and making his own.

a beautifully crafted bassinet now sits in the nursery of baby Isabella Morales :')

After the divorce, this doesn't change.

There's a moment where something breaks and you turn to tell Francisco before realizing he isn't there.

You wait until after you drop elizabeth off at school to cry.

thirty minutes later youre at home when the somebody knocks at the door.

there's a tension, sure. you open the door to see your ex-husband standing there, toolbox in hand and mouth open like he wanted to say something but it dies in your throat at the sight of your red eyes and trembling lip. 

“frankie?” 

“Isabella.” he answers. “she uh, she called me.” 

part of you wanted to be mad. That elizabeth told her father that you needed help, that you were struggling. Another part wanted to be mad that she was using her phone at school which was a whole other conversation to be had

but you simply nodded and stepped to the side, savoring the way his hand grazed yours as he walked inside. 

he doesn’t mention that you haven’t taken the photos down of all three of you together, he simply opens the cupboard under the sink and gets to work. 

its the closest thing to domesticity he’s had since the divorce. the pair of you subconsciously slipping back into the little idiosyncrasies from years ago. 

you put a pot of coffee on as he grumbles and grunts under the sink, poorly disguising a laugh as a cough when he goes to sit up and smacks his head on the pipe. 

shuffling from underneath with a now red mark on his forehead as he points a scolding finger in your direction. “you are horrible.” but you hand him a warm cup of coffee and he forgives instantly. 

you sit in silence, shoulder to shoulder on the kitchen floor. 

the job is done. he could leave, go back home with a goodbye and ‘I’ll pick Isa up this friday.” before going back to his small apartment that would feel even smaller after having a taste of what home used to be with you. 

But he doesn’t. he sits in silence, savoring the way you foot sways back and forth on the tile floor until you finally speak. 

“I’m proud of you. You know that?” Your voice is tiny and frail and you tilt your head to look at him. 

My god he could just cry. 

“I’m really proud of you, Frankie. Me and Isabella both are. You know that, right?” 

Did you have any idea? what you were doing to him? 

the love of his life, the mother of his daughter and the reason he was still on this earth, staring at him with such emotion and love in your eyes he felt like a voyeur just for looking at you. 

He looks away, down at the chipped cup in his hands, one you got on a roadtrip when Isabella was only 2. 

Francisco doesn’t trust his voice to not fail him. So he only nods. 

You look up at the clock and curse. 

“what? what’s wrong?” 

you shoot up, feet sliding on the floor as you scurry forward. “Isa! I was supposed to pick her up from school ten minutes ago!” 

you grab your keys in a mad dash, barely sparing a glance over your shoulder to the man you married. 

“You wanna come with?” 

He stares at you, slack jawed and silent. 

“You would let me-” 

“of course. We can..get lunch. I think it’d be good for her, yeah?” 

Isabella doesn’t say anything when you pick her up from school. 

She was ready to snip that you were late, and its embarrassing to be picked up late, but then she noticed frankie sitting in the front seat and smiling at her. 

“Good day at school mija?” 

she doesn’t ask if this means you’re getting back together, or why you’re both picking her up or why his hand rests on the console, occasionally grazing your arm as you drive. 

“It was okay. Can we get Burger King? I’m hungry.” 

she just enjoys it. The little look she sees you give her father as she inSIST on ordering a strawberry milkshake despite the fact she never finishes them, and the way he holds out his hand behind the seat for her to give him fries and the way you laugh when he holds one up to your mouth at a stop light. 

she should clog the garbage disposal more often.

never been one to facecast characters BUT saw's the first live-action fandom i've been in in a long while and i could not resist the lure of seeing if greg bryk was in anything when he was 25 (he and julie benz were both 36 filming saw v so im having trouble picturing them with a decade age difference) and the earliest thing i could find him in online was a movie called the pawn (1999) at age 27 where he looks just like jim carrey in dumb and dumber

doppelgangers

#that's a goober. that's a guy who's gonna trip on his own shoelaces. that's a boy toy. #mallick scott #greg bryk #this one's for the greg enjoyers #i bet you're out there somewhere #blizzard madness has outlasted the blizzard it seems #they're both 36 in cg and i had never considered how the canon size of the age gap would change the dynamics #but we're in it now lads. she's patting his head condescendingly and calling him sweet. he's in over his head.

actually taking the time to read through what would be considered the antagonist's motives in eroica, only to find out theyre more sympathetic than the main characters (major specifically) will ever be. you mean this nato engineer became so moved by the pope he stole US secrets and ran away??? by all means let me shake the mans hands

#i love it as much as the next guy but fewl is deeply deeply conservative #it is way more on the side of the major than eroica's #that meaning natos side than the side of a gay man #like it goes beyond the kgb plots. anybody who disagrees with nato or the cia or even the sis in fewl is considered an antagonist #which is fine. but they are not given a sliver of sympathy from the writer #like its been a while but in emperor waltz theres the character of the cia officer who literally had a breakdown and leaked state secrets #and hes just treated as a crazy man. theres no explaining his motives other than that hes a nuisance to the major and nato #but overall what im tryna say is that eroica never was 'progressive' ESPECIALLY by our standards #an it feels wrong 2 me so sell it as anything more than 'oh theres a couple gay characters and a fun dynamic' #cus i feel it leads to overlooking things like these #which are quite interesting to me. like taking a glimpse into how the world beyond europe and the us perceived nato #considering most spy stories are from those places #and um yeah it sucks. even i feel bad reading it sometimes! #but its part of it; i like what i like #either way what bliss #led zeppelin shoujo yaoi manga tag
