So this is where Essek has been during C3...

I know it's such a cliche at this point to the point of garnering eye rolls, but we really cannot lose sight of the fact that 2x97 is the Most Episode of All Time. You cannot ignore Essek in that episode, obviously, but honestly the fact that that happened only serves to highlight how buckwild everything else was. That was when Veth got her body back. That was when Caleb first directly set his sights on Ludinus. That was when Fjord tried to ask Jester on a date and instead ending up thirdwheeling Yasha and Beau, who WERE essentially on a date. That was when Jester locked Sharpe on the balcony. That was when Cad got Beau SO high and Fjord was forced to babysit. That was when Fjord and Yasha told Marius he had to kill someone to stay on the crew.

If any ONE of these things had happened on top of the Essek reveal, it would've been notable or memorable, but no, the BREADTH of unhinged happenings in that episode is actually stunning.

#critical role #mighty nein #genuinely just. INSANE episode #there is nothing not unhinged in that episode #weren't there also jokes about Marion thinking they were having an orgy. like i don't even remember. #I've definitely written this post before but I'll DO IT AGAIN #like it does sometimes feel like over time people gloss over the fact that this episode has SO much #cuz a lot of the fandom remembers it as the essek reveal episode #and that IS a major turn in the plot of the narrative but #it's really like. one of SO MANY THINGS #also honestly can we all just take a minute to rewatch that conversation with Ludinus at the party. #i feel like it would improve a lot of the c3 discourse.

#spheal #i wish i could post circular images on tumblr. because this one is deserving of a fully circular PNG. i could technically just take a #regular square image and then make the edges transparent to make it *effectively* a circle‚ but like… would that appeal? #if that would appeal then i'll do it. i don't think it would be *too* prohibitively hard. i would be willing to make an addendum #with a circular transparent image of spheal staring at the screen if enough of you want it. either way #this guy rolls everywhere and i think tumblr is gonna like that. i feel like this is gonna end up being a well-liked pokémon amongst tumblr #as in. i feel like. it already is. because. of how it is. i just don't know bc spheal isn't like. one of my favorites #it's cute don't get me wrong but it's just not one i think about all the time. it's one that i'll like if prompted but not unprompted #i'm gonna stop before i dig myself into a hole. i beat totk finally. it was very good and i honestly had way way more fun with it than i did #with botw. i have my criticisms obviously. it's not perfect it's not pmd. but it was very good. and now i've moved onto the next game in my #backlog. which is very long but i'm steadily working through it. hopefully i can get it done before i graduate this december and stop having #any time for the rest of my life ever forever to play video games. dreading that day. but uh #until then i will game. and hang out with my friends. and go on tumblr. and do all these things i like to do. until i no longer can #wow this got depressing i'm gonna Stop here. enjoy spheal

There are SIX SONGS in the season finale?? Let's goooo

#sanders sides #thomas sanders #i had figured that it must have gotten overwhelming with a series that has such a massive and vocal audience #I've been there too honestly #and i thought few recent episodes being a bit stale was fair criticism but the 'we have to wait too long for more content' stuff... #idk always hit me the wrong way I cannot stand by those #also like when i say i support creators taking time with their projects and prioritising their mental health I MEAN it #i mean it even if it's someone more famous. I don't think I'm owed explanations and details to decide if I'll 'allow' it #i would have been happy enough to wait on the finale already tbh. and now I'm so stoked!! also idc the latest asides was great #someone come talk with me about sanders sides!!

I personally like Thunder's prosthetic. Explained it to my friend (who does use a mobility device, a cane and wheelchair, and listens to me rant and infodump about BB) and they agreed, it's important to know that not every person needs what someone wants to give them. It's another example of "bad ableist person does a thing that hurts a disabled person because they are bad and ableist".

Clear Sky got Jagged Peak killed and would have killed Sunlit Frost! He would absolutely force his disabled son to be "normal" and present it like a privilege. "I wouldn't do this for anyone else, it's special, why don't you want to be helped?"

Thunder Storm should toss it in Clear Sky's face. (I would say toss it into the river but we do not pollute waterways in this house)

Thank you for telling me this, and tell your friend I'm thanking them too! If they have anything else to add please forward what they have to say

Since BB!DOTC tackles some of the heaviest topics in the entire series because its canon equivalent is so dark, I think very carefully about what I do here and how I show it. I take feedback on its sensitive aspects very seriously. If I'm understanding the criticism properly, it's that I should avoid stigmatizing prosthetics by making sure Thunder Storm's not the only one with it-- which he's not! And I'll add even more.

I don't want to avoid something only because it's uncomfortable if the topic is important, and my portrayal is respectful. Ableism IS uncomfortable! There are some situations where a prosthetic is not wanted! I think the rejection of this particular one is both a good opportunity to show a type of ableism and ALSO is very fitting for the characters.

In BB!Clear Sky's mind, the villain, he's fixing an old mistake. He can't admit that he got Jagged Peak killed or take REAL accountability for it (though he will, occasionally, apologize insincerely), but deep in his bones, he knows what he did was cruel. He'll never tell anyone this because he doesn't really cognate it himself, but Thunder Storm NEEDS to take his gift.

If Thunder doesn't take it, it blows a hole in his newest story. You see, throwing Jagged Peak out was All That Could Have Been Done back then. It was a Tragedy and he simply Made A Hard Choice. He regrets it very much, But You Have To Understand.

But now? Now? Well, behold. Look at what he's accomplished since the tragic death of his little brother. His cats are well-fed, cared for, and stable enough to make such incredible advancements. If only Jagged Peak had been able to hold on longer, if only he could be here now, I could fix him.

Just like I can (MAKE YOU JUST LIKE ME) fix you.

"Everything I've ever done is for Jagged Peak. For Fluttering Wing. For you." Thunder Sky is SPECIAL, but if he rejects any gift, tries to turn down the "privileges" offered to him, in an instant that becomes ungratefulness and arrogance. He both forces him to be special, and then leverages it against him if it's rejected. "Spoiled brat, doesn't appreciate what I've worked so hard to give him."

It all goes back to him and his own guilt. He can NEVER be wrong. He can't accept his family doesn't have to be "normal" or reflect his own ability. He won't see himself as a bully, let alone a murderer. It was never about his son's comfort or finding out what Thunder Storm wants or needs, it was about his own ego.

...All that said I'm still taking feedback if there's anything else I should keep in mind, or if anyone has a counter point, especially if you also have experience here.

(In the interest of having a link trail for posterity, here's the critique/call for feedback this is in response to)

#ALSO also I will take suggestions on other characters who should have prosthetics #Sunlit makes sense and it will make a really nice character moment later for him to have one built #There's also an amputee in RiverClan few people talk about called Stonestream #I can give him one and bump him up into a bigger character. In BB he is the sibling of Willowshine #BB!DOTC #better bones au #Also just as a side note... I love writing BB!Skystar. My ire for the character comes from his redemption arc so I feel like I get to-- #--write the character I WANTED to see #Same with Bramble in other BB arcs #cw ableism #tw ableism #ableism #They're fascinating in that they always have to see themselves as the victim or the hero #They believe every lie they tell. #If you ever catch them in a contradiction they will still try to find some way to turn it on you and YOUR lack of understanding. #Interestingly both of them are ableist. Sky's is just more obvious because he's LOUDLY bigoted. #But BB!Bramble is *notably* less close to Jay for a very sad and very subtle reason. #Jay just doesn't serve his ego like the others do until much later in his life. #unfortunately most bigotry is like that. #the type you have a hard time calling out because it's a deniable bias. the constant gaslighting of being part of a marginalized group #Maybe I need to address the criticism by adding a character with a prosthetic to THIS arc even earlier #Problem is that like... Thunder's small merc group is already full of disabled characters and their THING is forming in response to ableism #OH maybe I'll put someone in the Forest Cat group which is lead by Slash? #I need to finish that last book and then gather up all the cats for sorting into allegiances

one of my favourite things about campaign 3 is the hostility between chetney and imogen laura and travis really said we've been graph paper lovers, now it's time to upgrade...reluctant allies

#critical role #laura bailey #cr3 #travis willingham #reluctant allies is a stretch but it reminds me of every single friendship i've ever had with a guy ever #in the “i'm not in the least bit convinced you're a funnctional human being but morals wise you're half-decent so i'll tolerate you ig” #<- this is referring to imogen and chet #i'm not speculating abt real people cause i do not want to #please don't take me seriously

I've been seeing a growth on hatred towards Tubblings (Tubbo's community) in here. Aswell as some explicit hate towards Philza.

It's not a huge issue yet, but before it is: know that we don't tolerate plain hate in here and u will be reported. Tumblr HAS a report system that works.

You ARE responsible for the things you say online.

Doesn't matter if you're famous, or a public figure, or just a jane-doe. You're not just another number or comment and u will be held accountable.

Be gone trolls

#qsmp #tubbo #honestly I don't know where it's coming from or why #and I don't want to know either #qsmpblr is a safe space or God so help me #And I'm not talking about negative opinion toward a behavior or criticism #people have the right to disagree #it's healthy even #but hate speech? nah uh #not here #i also saw some weird hate to phil and the crows and immediately reported #and I'll say if the internet is causing such strong emotions and stress on ya it might be wise to take a break from it before u become sick #but don't make it other peoples problem #remember that there is a lot of kids and minors in this community #it's not cool to expose them to such behavior #you know what? I'll tag every streamer/community I can think of that has had hate thrown at them recently around twitter and here #badboyhalo #qsmp dapper #cellbit #oibagi #pactw #mikethelink #brazilians #quackity #philza #qsmp admins #qsmp empanada #qsmp sunny #qsmp leonarda #qsmp richarlyson

I was reading 'One Bad End is Enough' by AsterEfflores (best art ever, btw. Completely astonishing) and, damn, Tristan is so rightfully salty.

I, too, want to scold at the canon when everyone and their mothers mention the past Cale (og!Cale, even if they don't know) as "the trash young master". Trash, trash, trash— SHUT UP. YOU'RE ALIVE BECAUSE HE WENT FOR DECADES OF WAR FIRST AND STILL ACCEPTED THAT DAMN DEAL.

Man is the only damn person who remembers the past timeline. He's the only one who knows exactly how much they lost last time. Only he knows how horrible it ended.

The family he wanted to be safe and happy so bad that he dedicated years to pretend he's a worthless heir, the worst option. All of them dead. And when he's about to die—

If I were him and had lost everyone I loved and saw the world be burned down by a maniac, I would be fucking relieved to finally see everyone again and rest.

But he wanted them to be happy and safe. He wanted to help his reincarnated mom. He wanted things to be different even if he couldn't see it.

AND NO ONE EVEN NOTICES THAT HE'S NOT THERE. NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT WHO HE WAS. NO ONE KNEW HIM ENOUGH TO REALIZE, OR CARED ENOUGH TO ASK.

It's fucking sad and it piss me off.

Even more because the person in question is an absolute cinnamon roll who says things like "I'll save this world because I want everyone to live peaceful lives" (i probably got the quote wrong, but that was the spirit of it) so casually and without a sign of shame. He lived a life for others and hets a new life and, what does he does? He uses it to make everyone safe and happy. He takes care of the team he barely knows, tries his best for a kid who was once his mom, and keeps working despite having the money to quit. He goes around smiling though he doesn't have to. He's genuinely happy and glad. I—

Man, Tristan is so right. He's my spirit animal.

#it's a great fic btw #og cale #original cale henituse #og cale henituse #og!cale henituse #og cale is a cinnamon roll #i don't take criticism #sometimes being pure is not about being ingenuous #nor blissfully innocent #sometimes is about having a heart that keeps chosing to love #in a kindness way. not the other one #he's so bright i'll get blind #rant

[star--anon]

I'm bored, let's talk jealous Minho

because you KNOW that idiot is slinking around Thomas like "Hey. You got any crushes? Is that boy hot to you? Do you like men? Do you think that man looks cute? What's your type. You like muscles?"

Thomas starts talking about how he sometimes misses Teresa, or how his love for Teresa and Brenda confuses him sometimes, etc. and Minho is vibrating with homosexuality

Thomas slips into his tent one night to tell him that he might have a crush on one of the Immunes, but he doesn't know what to do about his feelings

Minho gives him the biggest Kicked Puppy Look of the century

That moment when your crush is indeed gay, but is not gay for you

Start immediately trying to find this Immune. Needs to get a look at him. Whoever this man is better be the kindest, smartest, most sarcastic and yet also genuinely thoughtful and caring man to ever exist to deserve Thomas' secret admiration

Thomas laughs and promises Minho that his crush is all of that and more, but refuses to share who it really is

"Dammit, Minho, stop trying to know his name. I just need advice. What should I do?" "Find someone better."

Minho's soooo adamant about it too.

just dropping excuse left and right about why he doesn't like this crush of Thomas'.

"You've never even met him!" "Okay, but he could be a murderer. Why would I want to meet a murderer."

He gives hundreds of excuses and none of them are true. "He could be really mean. Have you ever even talked to him before? You have a dry sense of humor; what if he can't reciprocate? What if he hates coffee. What if he hates big sweaters. I bet your crush won't appreciate flowers."

Thomas keeps confiding in him like, "Mmmm, I wonder if my crush could-"

meanwhile all Minho wants to do is scream "I COULD DO IT BETTER"

He finally snaps one day. They're cuddling and Thomas sighs into his shoulder, and it sends a shiver down his spine, and he's just so fucking happy... And Minho remembers it's a limited amount of time before someone else gets these moments with Thomas. And what if Thomas won't have time for him anymore?

Thomas blinks in confusion as he's suddenly shoved off the bed

"Minho what's wrong?" "I dunno, ask your stupid crush."

Minho tries to pick a fight with him. He's better at anger and sarcasm than he is at talking it out. Maybe it's selfish of him, but he's drunk on anger and that helps suppress the guilt in him a little.

Thomas puts a quick stop to it though.

"My crush is you."

"So why don't you fucking- Your crush is what."

Thomas grins and laughs a little. Rubs the back of his neck. "Awkward confession, huh?"

Minho's on him and kissing his face before he can finish his sentence.
