I really can't belive that after watching all of the first campaign my first posted/fully finished fanart will be of the triplets and not the boobs. Anyway these three are stuck in my brain and refuse to leave.

And no text and transparent backround version:

#trinyvale #Trinyvale #jens lyndelle #nyack of the ranafor #onyx lumiere #they are afwul but also great #i finished two games while listening to it while sick i got to episode 12 and am currently on the 20th #naddpod #its great #i think i like jens best just because i love an asshole whose going soft and because i have a soft spot for murphs charakters #there needs to be more fics and fanart for it #there are like 13 fics for it and also mostly smut or ship fics #i got to aster btw and i hate his voice im like emily with obsidian #wlwchiaki for it gave me life honestly go read them #i noticed i do mostly charakter lineups now i have a bad kids one started #i guess i like charakter design so that's why

IkePri w/in historical European borders—why it works and doesn’t work at the same time

as someone with a history degree studying early modern Europe, i’ve absolutely snowballed on this one…it all started with the italian ass sounding names from Benitoite—which is what makes the accuracy of this so impossible.

Benitoite, when compared to the 1648 map (first modern borders in Europe, chosen specifically for the separate Italian kingdoms), matches with the Venetian territory.

Jadeite, following suit, falls into French territory (Swiss/French/German) based off of Benitoite’s location.

Obsidian is to the NE of Rhodolite and Benitoite, making it line up w/ Austria and what will later be known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire. it’s believed that as Obsidian’s expansion continued, it most likely pushed into Slavic land to the east.

This makes Rhodolite the HRE/Holy Roman Empire by default.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THIS LIST IS ACCURATE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM.

based on the compass provided in the original map’s top right corner, it might mean that the map is loosely based off of these countries/only take influence from specific countries or nations. that being said, there are a few things that line up quite nicely about each country and their assigned locations.

obviously, Benitoite introduces incredibly italian sounding names such as (i.e. the last name, ricci, the first names of all princes, silvio, valerio, emidio/emilio)

Benitoite is frequently mentioned to be teeming with merchants, comparable to Venetians

Jade is a relatively peaceful country w/ many agreements—similar to Switzerland during the early modern period

the HRE is made up of different principalities rules by princes—similar to the system in which each Rhodolite prince rules his own land

the HR emperor is also elected, which becomes simplified to election via Belle in ikepri

the Austrians, particularly Hapsburg, liked to marry Germans when other Hapsburgs weren’t available…making Yves’s birth and abandonment by Obsidian a possibility to think over

of course, there are also reasons why this doesn’t make sense

little is known about Obsidian past their brutal history/actions—hard to compare to a real country

again, i had to turn the official map off of its original axis to line them up

the HRE is not a kingdom, it’s an empire…therefore, it would not be an elected KING like Rhodolite

where are the Swiss Alps? if we’re comparing maps, there obviously needs to be a mountain range between Benitoite and Jade

the same goes for the mountain range presented between Benitoite and Obsidian—geographic discrepancies

something you might’ve noticed (or maybe not)

all of these countries are named after stones/gemstones

Rhodolite — a reddish colored gemstone, only European natural source can be found in Norway

Benitoite — rare mineral, blue to light blue in color…not found in Europe, but can be found in Japan

Jade — a green mineral often used in jewelry or accessories, majorly exported by Myanmar

Obsidian — a dark colored stone, forms with cooling volcanic lava…which means it forms wherever there is/has been volcanoes. this does include Hungary and Italy.

Knowing the background behind the names can also throw a wrench in trying to fit ikepri lore into European boundaries.

while it is easy to see the European influence behind the lore and kingdoms, it is also evident that these fictional kingdoms are only loosely based on specific aspects of life within Europe in order to justify the style of royalty within the game.

thanks for coming to my tedtalk

Quotes from Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (2004) that altered my brain chemistry:

You see the war, the true war, has never been one waged by droids, or warships or soliders. They are but crude matter, obstacles against which we test ourselves. The true war is waged in the hearts of all living things, against our natures, light or dark. That is what shapes the galaxy, not these creatures of man. You are the battleground. And if you fall, the death of the Republic will be such a quiet thing, a whisper that shall herald the darkness to come. [Kreia]

It is like a cloud, a mist that drifts from living creature to creature, set in motion by currents and eddies. It is the eye of the storm, te passions of all living things turned to energy, into a chorus. It is the rising swell at the end of life, the promise of new territories and new blood, the call of new mysteries in the dark. [Kreia on the Force]

I would die first, and glady, to preserve you, untouched, unharmed. Now that I have found you, I cannot sacrifice what I have found. [Visas Marr]

If you're ever fighting someone who has the power over your mind, whether light or dark, play pazaak. Start listing hyperspace routes. Recite engine sequencers. And when they try to use their powers on you, suddenly it's not as easy as they thought. Because you'll be right here with me, playing pazaak, where they can't reach you... [Atton]

Do you wonder where she wanders now, Mandalore? Why she gave you your orders, then abandoned you at the edge of the galaxy? [Kreia, to Mandalore]

Mira: When the galaxy takes something from me, I want the power to let go... and I want the power to heal the echo when it's gone. Exile: < One can live their whole life with such echoes, Mira. But I can teach you to accept them. > Mira: That sounds alright, from where I'm standing.

The difference between a fall and a sacrifice is sometimes difficult, but I feel that Revan understood that difference, more than anyone knew. The galaxy would have fallen if Revan had not gone to war. [Kreia]

Revan was power. It was like staring at the heart of the Force. [Kreia]

Vrook: You were deafened Kreia: At last...you could hear Kavar: You were broken Kreia: You were whole Zez-Kai Ell: You were blinded Kreia: And at last...you saw.

It has taken time for me to return here, I lost my way, but I've been stronger for the journey. What happens now shall not be done out of hate, or revenge, but for the sake of all life. And I ask you, finally, to forgive me. This body is a prison no longer. [Visas Marr]

Perhaps you were expecting some surprise, fro me to reveal a secret that had eluded you, somethng that would change your perspective of events, shake you to your core. There is no great revelation, no great secret. There is only you. [Kreia]

#I'll never understand the mentality of the average male player who sees guns in a game and goes crazy #like.. #what's the appeal of guns in a fantasy setting? to me it's 0 but whatever #even without the guns the game doesn't look appealing to me at all #I'm just so sad cause I love poe's lore so much #they didn't even keep the dark vibe of the first one didn't even try #yes whatever eothas is in the trailer.... big deal #GIVE ME ANOTHER PILLARS OF ETERNITY OBSIDIAN NOT THIS #p

Working on making a "Trechire's Sons" household on the Sims 4.

So far only have Fenn, Sunny, and Rinyu.

For those who don't know Sims 4, vampires and werewolves have their "normal" form and then their "dark" or "true" form.

Starting from oldest and youngest:

@sheirukitriesfandom this is your sign to make your dunmer boys in the Sims 4. The base game is free now on all platforms and there is a gray skin color to use which works great for dunmer. Let your vampire have his romantic silly sims playthrough with Savos.

#yes vampires and spellcasters arent in base game but you can always pretend 💙 #modern au basicaly #i love how fenn and rinyu got thin builds but then sunny is the buff big werewolf boy #mavos is a thin build too but kirr is a big boy #they'll both be spellcasters #blue red green gray and obsidian skin tones but no yellow 😡 #so had to do the best I could with lighter tones to give an altmer look #my sims 4 #excuse the poor quality pics btw #im afraid take actual screenshots as my game sometimes glitches when i do that #good ol sims #i love sunnys wolf form #its so cute 🐺💘

anons are half right. you wouldn't be mischaracterized as the Mom Friend you'd be the Cool Aunt Friend, which is still very similar but at least you get to have a gun and snark at people ~@betweenlands

PERSONAL LIFE GOALS right here. Best middle ground -- I don't get blamed in fic for the shenanigans that were definitely my fault AND I get to be the one to send the kids home with a sugar high at the end of the day.

#pranks i have recently pulled: #leaving random stone blocks in increasingly less likely places in Lee's base #filling an isv member's mailbox with their favorite block - anonymously #paying for something that was labled as free #placing obsidian atop all of shark's chests #stalking skribbs while wearing a pumpkin head and stealing her blocks as she mined them #if this doesn't convey 'my love language is being mildly inconveniencing' i dunno what will XD #redwinteranswers #'how would the fandom misinterpret me' ask game

I think the minecraft devs have made a few missteps and mistakes here and there, but I’m really not a fan of how people are blowing this out of proportion. You forget that Minecraft is now under the thumb of a massive company, there’s likely more than just “promising things they can’t fulfill”. Minecon and dev updates are meant to drum up excitement so it’s gonna be packed full of attention grabbing content, at any stage of development they feel suitable. Yes, it’s not a small indie company anymore, but that doesn’t necessarily make game development go perfectly.

All this to say, I wouldn’t immediately lose faith in Mojang when they’ve consistently put out some of the best updates recently.

Am I disappointed they won’t be adding fireflies, and birch forests? Obviously! But it feels like small potatoes in the grand scheme of Minecraft’s updates. There’s still so much to look forwards to, in this update and beyond.

#minecraft #mineblr #i feel like people forget the devs love minecraft too #seeing lots of people turn just cause a few things had to be cut or delayed feels…weird #and another point #crying obsidian was in the game before-taken out-and pier back in recently #I think mojang is juggling fan vs company expectations #sorry for the rambling just :(

is it truly so bad if all i wanna do is make up shadowrun stories... pfpbfbt

Holy stars, I forgot that my first run in the Volcano dungeon was me brute forcing my way in and the first ever prismatic shard I got WASN'T from an iridium node lady luck was so mean to me but it was from THE CHEST AT THE TOP OF THE VOLCANO DUNGEON after I practically went with the strategy of "tactical retreat" in which I just run away from the monsters and hope for the best. I'm pretty sure I didn't even brought enough healing items cuz it was such a random thought of "What if I just force my way in?" I just brought a few stuff and a totem in case things got dire. Lady luck was so mean but kind enough to give me the mushroom room so I get to heal up some more from the mushrooms but that's it.

#aria rants #i remember chatting bout my experience of it with an old friend so i went to search for prismatic shard to actually know #where i got my first ever prismatic shard in my first savefile and turns out it wasnt even me battling the monsters with #a baby obsidian sword. it was me running away and brute forcing my way to the top of the damn volcano dungeon #and hope for the best that id finally get to the top and get my first ever prismatic shard for an ACTUAL upgrade weaponwise #love to know that no matter how much time has passed. my strategies of brute forcing my way into anything in games #is still intact. thats like my main thing now. my signature. aint an aria gameplay without the brute force on anything #and the bad luck. the bad luck is the first signature and my strats of brute force is a result of that
