Hellspawn idea that hit me like a religious vision

Astarion can't stop thinking of the color of this flower Karlach found during one of the more idyllic moments of traveling to Baldur's Gate, and it should have been such an inconsequential moment. It was just a flower. But the delight burning in the embers of her mirthful eyes just sticks with him. And it's mostly annoying how happy she is about everything, but he also can't hold it against her when she, too, is adjusting to sudden, newfound freedom, and hers is much more limited than his.

And it isn't even a romantic moment or anything, right? Karlach just sees it on the edge of where the last bit of life was able to grow between the Shadow Curse and the land beyond it. She's STOKED. Bellowing in that way she does about this flower. She just takes a moment to enjoy it, then moves on. Doesn't pick it. Doesn't touch it. Just moves on with her day.

but this moment sticks with him and he thinks about it when they're curled together under the stars that night, his body fitting against the curve of hers, his cold weight soaking up every bit of warmth her overheated body will give him, and her arms are SO strong, but so gentle in the way she holds him.

The immortal forced to reckon with mortality bc this woman, who truly believe deserves a much better lot in life, only has a finite amount of time to appreciate the flowers and the sunrise and just. everything.

He'll still be able to live his life from the shadows and find beauty in the darkness, but Karlach?

He can see her death coming on the horizon and there's so much he actually wants to do, now that they're trying to make things real. and he just. is feeling the pressure bc he did waste time trying to get Karlach into a position to protect him and he'll forever feel bad about it (but not say anything bc that's his burden to carry).

So the immortal keeps thinking about this flower and what Karlach would look like adorned in beautifully crafted items accented in blue: gilded chains and cuffs adorning her hair and horns, sturdy leather dyed and stamped, fine silk embroidered with expensive floss, of all the nice things he wishes she could experience - because he promised her new experiences once they returned - and just.

When everyone's sleeping, he just spends that time sneakily embroidering this doublet he stole from a vendor the moment they entered the city. He's working against time, too, cus this is a gift he HAS to give her before her time is up. So, his skilled fingers move quickly, embroidering this black doublet with the most beautiful embroidery done mostly in blue, but accented with red, orange, and yellow.

He's almost done when Karlach tells him one night that she thinks she doesn't have much longer. Her heart is in overdrive and she can feel her body beginning to give out, to fail her when freedom was so close she could taste it. and it isn't fair. Astarion is SO angry at the world and at the Gods because he FINALLY has someone and. Time is running out. he feels even more powerless here because it really is just up to Karlach and whether she wants to keep going or not. He tries to talk to her about it, but usually they just end up fighting because they're both stubborn.

So, he avoids the conversation, mostly. Just tries to pretend the end isn't peeking over the horizon.

He doesn't give her the doublet right away. He doesn't want that finality, to give it to her and to know this may very well be the last time he gets to give her something he put his time into for her like this. and he has other gifts for her. a new owlbear to go with clive (even if he thinks that's juvenile, but he's not going to judge....well. he will, but not as much as if it were Gale who still had his stuffies). but he just. cannot bring himself give her this doublet bc he knows it's the first and last time she'll be adorned in something that he put together for her. the embroidered doublet is his labor of love, and the man does NOT like to labor.

embroidering isn't even necessarily his favorite thing to do, it's just one of his skills he actually has. he lacks self-confidence when it comes to what qualities he thinks he has that make him worthy of a relationship, but he can make sure his partners' clothes are mended and presentable.

When he finally gives it to her, it's after they take down Gortash. Karlach spends that very night alone, and Astarion cannot take it. He hasn't spent a single night away from Karlach since before they arrived at the Shadow-Cursed Lands, and now they're literally counting the days until they're taken from one another. He's big mad, seething, but very respectful to her bc he understands. he's not mat at HER, he's mad at everyone that took everything they could from her.

That's the first night he actually sits down and starts coming up with a plan. And it's a genuinely good one, but it's the first good one he's had in almost two-centuries. This is when he comes up with how he wants to convince Karlach to let him go to Avernus with her. He's not ready to let go and he is willing to murder his way through the Hells with her if he gets to see her smile about inconsequential things again.

He gives her the doublet the night before they plan to head for the Morphic Pool. They know it may be their last night together, so after a group meal, when everyone is winding down to turn in for the night, they make their way up to the roof of the tavern. They sit beneath the stars, side by side, but they're just sitting and refusing to look at one another.

Karlach is unusually still and silent. She's exhausted. Astarion swears she had his undead heart beating again, but seeing her like that had it stop cold in his chest. He tries to break the silence, to cut off his own thoughts so he doesn't spiral into despair thinking of the unknown, but just ends up reaching out to take her hand.

She's hot to the touch. He can feel that her temperature IS increasing and just. imagining what she's feeling and how she's been pent up this entire trip. like no fucking release from the pressure of this shitty heart that only does its job in the right environment.

She's the one who breaks it first. to thank him for his company. to tell him that he was a little fucking SHIT when she first met him, but she always could see something good behind the veneer of mischief hiding the fear in his piercing eyes. but she loves him and she's so, so happy to have been given a chance to love someone, to touch them freely, to feel loved in return. it was something she was missing in the last 10 years of the loneliness of being simple cannon fodder in an endless war.

and she doesn't want to talk abt this. she had been avoiding it, took him on their date to pretend like he wasn't doomed to be left alone in his eternity. And neither of them even MENTION the elephant in the room. like they're both talking circles around what's going to happen, but they're being honest about the feelings they have for one another. like the only thing they even voice concern for is not being able to take out the Absolute.

Under the stars, accompanied by declarations of love spilling from their lips, Astarion produces the doublet. Karlach is just ecstatic that she received a gift, but when she realizes HE embroidered it, she's just kinda like.

This is. the most beautiful gift i've ever received, fangs.

and her calloused fingers, fingers that had seen more war and death than anyone her age should have to, gently touch the floss, follow the design, and she realizes the particular shades of orange, red, and yellow are in her eyes, in her body, in her chest, all complimented by the blue thread he used as the main color of the design.

It's a design made of the sun, moon, and stars, trailing up the front, across the broad shoulders, and down the back yoke.

she's his sun. She's the gentle warmth of the sun's rays comforting him when he would rather recede to the shadows and fall back on old habits. she's his moon and his stars, his guiding light when everything seems like it may crash down and suffocate him. She's everything good in this world if you look for it. She's proof that you can be put through shit and still come out a decent person.

Karlach does cry, but it's nothing dramatic. It's a few tears, her own stomach and chest twisting with an overwhelming sense of loss and yearning; the loss of time when her light inevitably extinguishes and a deep yearning to stay. it's in direct opposition to her desire to die in the place she loves simply so she can keep living this life with the man she loves.

She puts the doublet on, wearing it that night while he cuddled against her side. They held each other beneath the stars, until it was time for Karlach to get some rest for the upcoming battle. Astarion spends that entire night just watching her, playing with her hair, getting every last touch he can, then makes a vow that he WILL save Karlach, just as she saved him.

#bat rambles #hellspawn #karlach #astarion #bg3 #i'm dying on the hill that astarion's preferred way of showing love #would be gift giving (making sure his partner is taken care of) and touch #but like the former he would NOT draw any attention to that's between him and his partner #like generally gift giving with him is someone just finds it wrapped up on their bed like he's a cat #or in some cases #he'll just casually give it to them during an unrelated convo and. not mention the gift once #for example i imagine when he and mercy are going through loot #to decide what to keep and what to sell #astarion will sometimes pick a ring from the bunch #or maybe he had one he had found while actively looting and tucked it away specifically to give #but he'd just reach over to put the ring on one of their fingers #then go back to what he's doing #just gestures like that #he's dramatic but i think he'd be awkward with gift giving #bc part of it is just how long he went without y'know #once he loves someone he just needs all their needs to be met and then some #one day i'll actually write this out but #here's a quick play by play of what i keep envisioning lmao #long post #bat writes #fic idea

Nawhhhhhh- y’all tell me why my Mexican Mama be roasting RoboDad over here. 💀💀💀

I was gonna give her a long speech about how amazing and lovable Nick Valentine is, but before I could she just went right back to roasting him. (Affectionately though, she does like him. Just thinks he’s kinda ugly)

Feito means “little ugly”

Now I have to basically summarize this man’s entire lore in the most simplistic way possible to make her understand this unyielding love the Fallout community has for Nick.

Plz send help.

#How do I tell the story of Nick Valentine and Fallout in general to a Mexican mother who only plays Mario Bros???? #Not even I know????? #At the very least she calls Nick a man and not a robot. Poor lady is trying to understand my hobbies to no avail. #She watched me play the intro of Fallout 4. But after awhile she got bored of me just looting the Commonwealth. #So after that she only saw snippets of my gameplay. #And she kept noting that I’m always with Nick and that he looks like he’s seen better days. #El Feito is now his name in her eyes. I’m sorry Nick. I laughed too hard now she won’t stop calling him that. #fallout #fallout 4 #fo4 #nick valentine #fallout memes #fallout screenshots

The guy my PC friendzoned vs the guy he friendzoned him for.

#its good to remember #as much of an arbiter of justice as ronan can be #hes a deeply fucked up person help back only by the holy mantle hes donned on himself #his favorite physical activity is caving someone's skull in #and his favorite thing to watch is astarion just murdering a motherfucker #hes got issues #which is why gales sentimentality is met with a 'oh how nice. im glad he is loyal and my friend and he cares.' #while astarions whole everything is met with a 'thank bahamut someone is finally speaking my language' #also my general idea of gale is that hes got a crush a mile wide but vampires got there first #so now hes just pining like the fail loser (affectionate) he is #it was really cute after this #i sent them both on a friendscapade to loot the lower levels of the tower #while ronan and bear hung out with rolan and lesbian angel #adorable #bg3

SG Op bringing dead bot body parts to Baseline Megatron

Baseline Megatron is about to start calling Baseline Rodimus

Dsjdfjjhjllj yes

Baseline Roddie is sitting there internally debating if this habit is a deal breaker or not.

#maccadam #transformers #fr anon #even though you're not on anon #fractured reflections au #sg optimus prime #Megatron #Rodimus #I like to think shattered glass Optimus in general is a gift giver #if it's not body bits then it's jewelry or trinkets or some fancy comm he looted from one of his own autobots' corpses #idk why #oh right it's because of the whole warlord part.

i love reblogging gif sets after watching a movie, and sometimes i want to reblog something even if i didn't love a movie, just because i enjoyed *some* aspect or i just want to talk about it in general. but i haven't found an effective way to do that because i think it's annoying to talk about not liking something in the tags on gifs OP made for something they liked. but also heaven forbid i say nothing in the tags and let people incorrectly interpret my taste.

#m.txt #really stupid problems #btw to be clear i'm generally ok w/ ppl talking about not liking things on my gifs because i gif a loot of bad thirst watches like i get it #but that's often not the case for gifmakers #and i know how annoying it can be to gif something you like and have people be rude in the tags about it

Some players are so funny to me.

"I did this bad thing and now the game is telling me it's bad! Why am I not being rewarded for this! The devs are really pushing the 'good' ending. Why is there no moral grey zone! Sometimes being a good person is bad for you and being bad is rewarding! Why is there no good loot when I slaughter a village of farmers to encourage evil playthroughs!"

Bro if you wanna get rewarded for bad things just do bad things IRL. This is a fantasy where doing bad things might be bad. You made this bed now lie in it etc.

"Why am I being guilt-tripped for doing a bad thing!"

Do I really need to answer this for you?

I respect players who do bad shit and just roll with it. Who embrace the consequences for the experience or the fun factor. People who do it to see what the game is capable of. People who can genuinely roleplay some truly evil characters. But the whiners are always so funny to me. Oh no, did baby experience consequences? Does being evil not feel as good as you thought? Is it not quite the power fantasy you expected? Do you need people to hold your hand and tell you you're so so right for choosing the bad options?

Like, either do good shit and be praised for it in-game or do bad shit and roll with characters not liking you or dying as a consequence of your actions. You can't both RP a huge jerk and expect everyone to worship you, that's just weird, man.

Welcome to the real world, joker moment, we live in a society etc etc.

#anyway yeah i saw someone on reddit complain that the tieflings don't drop good loot when you genocide them <3 #i don't feel like it's a controversial statement from a game dev to be like 'being good is generally good! :)' #nor is it inherently more deep or complex to go 'sometimes being good is bad uwu' #look at bioware :) #mfers tried grey morality and look how that turned out

@katsigian and I decided to up the stakes in project zomboid. We're using the Project Russia map, cryogenic winter, random zombie speeds, and a myriad of other mods.

We've both nearly frozen to death, a sprinting zombie got the jump on me (I got a scratch but it healed), and most of our time is spent in a tiny rv trying to stay warm between supply runs and exploring. And the power and water shut off soon

The game plan at the moment is to be nomadic in winter, scavenge and explore from a truck and camper trailer setup, then in summer find a place to set up base, to grow crops for preserving and do prep work for the winter again. I'm pretty excited for this run, the game has been getting too easy.

#project zomboid #we had been doing lower zombie counts and a long stretch before cutoff #with easy to find loot and generally easy settings #to be fair we were both scared shitless the first couple runs #things were getting kind of easy so we decided it was time for more and scarier zombies and harder settings all around #we are of course running around with Nathan and Valen #they're our go to for games with custom characters

Some of you read about a harmful practice or legacy and instead of engaging critically on how it can be addressed you just go "okay x thing and all related versions at all levels bad ✅️"

#this about people saying defund museums because the big western museums like the british museum contains looted and stolen artifacts #museums are not bad they do most of the work of perserving cultural artifacts and repatriation #they are essential to historical study and education and perserving things for future generations #the colonial actions of big western institutions is not a museum problem is a western society problem that is present in all our #institutions and must be systemically addressed not just defunding all museums

"I'm not going to reverse-engineer an exhaustive loot table," I said to myself

These aren't even humanoid. What am I doing.

Also why are there so many Wind-swept Furs, they're not useful for anything

#is this techincally for the bowhunt anymore or is it turning into its own horrible thing #im only doing missions tho im putting my foot down about that #i am however organizing it by class and level range #and i decided to classify level range as which morale and power potions drop #idk if its a good classification but its a consistent one at least #i know its got. distinctive lines. if that makes any sense #ive been doing missions on a level 50 character for some time and i dont get moria stuff on her so thats how i tell #i DO get moria stuff from the skirmish-type battle instances out of gath forthnir so idk whats going on with that #but thats not a problem for me because i put my foot down and im only doing missions #now this is not a flawless system because i dont know how the loot tables work #is there a general loot table and then a class-specific loot table thats rolled additionally? #or is all the general loot loaded onto a bunch of different class specific loot tables? #hey if anyone had a level capped burg right after gundabad launched and did anything on them hmu #and let me know if you got literally anything except potions before they fixed that bug #because knowing that could answer that question for me potentially #or at least eliminate some possibilities #part of me wants to take this to the forums because there are probably other people there who would be into this #but idk if the devs would approve of me trying to suss out their secrets #they might shut it down and that would make me feel bad #although they post about the lotro companion on the forums so idk
