Hello! I saw that you had a human design for the Tengu, and I wanted to ask: got any hcs for our bird demon as human? Or just hcs in general, wither will work

Hey! Bro- you won't believe it, but i literally was thinking about Humanized Tengu (for uh- reasons) when I opened tumblr just to see this ask, like deadass??? ad;kjdfdfsa Clearly it was a sign!

But I don't have that many hc about him tbh?? He was a very spontaneous creation for that day, so like here have just some basic info:

the original design i did for ninjavember is kind of how Tengu looked at the prime of his powers in human form, when it/he faced First Ninja.

He is very unnaturally tall, has bone white (practically ashen) skin, with the end of his limbs being dark grey (like literal ash/burned). His body is covered in blue markings like tattoos (very inspired by Law from One Piece haha) and his hair is a mix of feathers and fur-like hair (like birds). He is usually dressed in rich clothes, with his wings acting like sort of cape.

He likes to smoke the pipe ;) its less of actual smoking leaf and more 'energy and fire itself' type of smoking.

He is kind of an asshole, but he greatly (if reluctantly) respects First Ninja because he managed to defeat him and use his powers for his own means. He despises having his powers used by others, but he also kinda respects that it is for a noble cause.

When it comes to Ninjas who came after, he kind of feels like a dad who was forced to take care of kids he never wanted, and those kids literally suck life force out of him, lol.

And that's about all I got for now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But thanks for the ask i loved a chance to doodle him ;)

#que? #rc9gn #rc9gn tengu #rc9gn first ninja #listen the analogy of First contracting Tengu into an unwilling 'marriage' for noble cause and basically dumping adopted kids on him later #makes me cackle like a deranged person you dont even know #fun info his hair makes him look like a rooster and it freaks Randy out very much ;) #i actually got an absolutely dumb funny idea about his more modern design but i started laughing so hard that now i cant conceptualize it #into words or arts so. uh i dunno maybe ill post about it later tbd #i literally answered this ask the same day i got it and then i struggled to draw like fr and got distracted and shiet #man im drowning in wips <;D i cri #also i refused to aknowledge that i like to make Ninja deal with a certain type of people ok leave me and my fav tropes alone

Lasombra fashion show?

Now how did you know I've been meaning to draw fashion 'shows' for all the clans…?

But! Here's some Lasombra fashion stuff for you!

+ bonus because I love bullying Lasombra abt their tech issues (:

#vtm #vampire the masquerade #clan lasombra #lasombra #outfit design #mine #*24 #ask #lasombra is kind of interesting/difficult imo in terms of making a fashion 'style' for them bc they're very varied internally #from corp goth shadow ceos to religious leaders to streetwise survivors. theyre unlike their counterpart ventrue in that their appearance #isnt rooted in sociological reasons as much as theyre personal ones imo. if that makes sense lol. but i tried to do a few different things! #something classically lasombra and then some more modern discreet + showy stuff. hope you like em? <3 #for me lasombra is like dark fuschia-violet-purple and gold. silk velvet and dark lace. and ofc religious symbols #none of these guys have backstories or names or anything btw i just threw shit together. its easier to make up styles for chs #that have a story or a personality but like. i cant put rafael in this stuff or whatever lol he's kinda boring fashion wise #i thought abt doing shadow fashion too but i was like. thats way too impractical. #i kinda wanna finish those tremere fashion 'sketches' too. and maybe do some of deja's outfits bc she's a fashionista. there's also my #outfit wips for rose who's a ventrue... but also i wanna do freaky sabbat outfits... and a toreador look book... and finish the new #nikifor tzimisce fashion looks... help mee. at least the tzimisce one is like 85% done i just gotta work on the extra stuff a little -_-

#i thought of this a couple weeks ago on the bus a couple seats away from someone loudly coughing into the open air #i think something snapped and i decided to make a fuckin. medieval ass plague sona. horseman of pestilence fursona #this is also why i was asking abt animals with medical symbolism.. originally i wanted a two headed snake like the staff of caduceus #but it turns out thats actually hermes symbol. the real symbol for medicine is the rod of asclepius which looks pretty similar #the difference is that theres only one snake and its twined around a stick. ironically mercy from overwatch's weapons are named after #the caduceus despite the misconception LMAOOO #snakes were the most consistent medicine related animal i could find even across multiple cultures so it couldve really worked #if i could actually draw scalies.. one of my earliest sketches had a cobra with a syringe at the end of its tail like a rattlesnake #and it had markings similar to the syringe tube but i didnt have much else going on so i scrapped it #i was also recommended animals with less obvious ties to medicine like jellyfish and horseshoe crabs and learned something new ^_^ #im not confident i could pull off a non-mammal furry but they were really good ideas i might put into smth else.. i also thought of #axolotls bc of their regenerative thing and growing back limbs but i think that would suit smth like a surgeon or amputation... #possums and bats were also an option bc theyre actually really resistant to most diseases like rabies but i feel like ppl wouldnt know that #if they saw it so it looks a little ironic at a glance. rabbits rats and mice were my second option bc of animal testing and lab rats #less obvious reference but the moon rabbit in chinese mythology is loosely connected to medicine bc it makes the elixir of life #otherwise lab mice in a pharmacy / modern medicine setting seemed fitting and jerboa tails remind me of cotton buds #and. ironically. jerboas are more closely related to elephants than rats and mice. can you believe it #my art #myart #my oc #sona #plaguesona #cottonbud #fur #furry art #character design #ref sheet #oc ref sheet

imaginary book: “The Ruined Idylls of Calomar”, low fantasy (quite obscure, authorship disputed; philologists suspect the first draft was written in a Celtic or Semitic language in the late 19th or early 20th century.)

The Ruined Idylls of Calomar by A.E. Mann

This haunting work of fantasy claims to be the journals of an unnamed scholar living in exile after the fall of the hidden lands of Calomar. Once a thriving, peaceful, highly civilized culture, its glory was brought low by the pride, greed, and wrath of kings, scholars, explorers and warriors who fought for glory, power, and honor, until its final destruction by a dark, nameless weapon left only a scant handful of survivors to escape and tell the tale. In haunting language, the narrator writes of Calomar's glory and intrigue, its final fall, and his irresistible yet doomed attempts to return to his lost homeland and learn what, if anything, has survived.

#imaginary book recs #answered asks #this one was recommended to me by a friend whose tastes are much more cultured than mine #as in she's reading gormenghast and lord dunsany while i read mediocre self-published fairy tale retellings #i read the gutenberg version right on my computer while procrastinating #the description sounds more generic than it actually is #it's like a bridge between those victorian explorer atlantis lost land tales and a more modern take on fantasy #i wouldn't be surprised if it was an influence on tolkien or at least i suspect they're drawing from similar traditions #these people are much less noble and the narrative rather sadder than tolkien's #but i was still enthralled #sometimes you need to read about people who are better than you #and sometimes you need to watch the intrigues of people who fight and fail #and this one fits well into the latter tradition without losing that sense of wonder and goodness that undergirds good fantasy #the language is kind of dense but once you get going i found it rather readable #you have to be in the right mood and fortunately i found it at the right time #i'd like to see if i could find an annotated version one day #i don't know as much as i'd like about the origins and authorship and all those things like that #and at the very least i suspect there are worlds of references that i'm missing

WAIT YOU AREN'T AMERICAN???

#Sorry akdbrvekkdbrjekbdke this is just. not the first time I receive an ask of this kind and I really can't figure what makes this idea– #come across and how to stop it akdmbrkskdbbeksbdbeksk #I am. very much not. Besides I feel like my English is super broke so I thought at least *that* would give it away!!! #people asks me stuff #It's just. There's a big modern cultural colonization by the usa of my and other European countries– #which... Eh... Doesn't make me... Well... Uh... Very fond of the usa to put it that way #And I KNOW it's unfair towards the people and I love all of my friends from the usa deeply and truly #But like. I totally get this is just a small thing but like... It's hard to explain. #But you need to understand the influence the usa has on Europe is BAD. And at least in my country it's utterly terrible. #And it's more of an extension of a deep capitalist structure than all usa's fault but like... My country is currently undergoing a– #privatization of healthcare and education following a blatantly american model which is BAD. There's like one (1) thing that our country– #has going on which is free healthcare and some of the current leaders want to change that just because for them if that's how it works in– #the usa then it must be good. It's bad. it's screwed up. Once every year someone brings up making of the country a federal state– #like what the fuuuuuck what is wrong with everyone.

okay modern-day au with the MDZS characters, but make it a ghost-hunter au because it's been rattling around in my head for a while.

the unlikely four-man squad starting: wwx, jc, nhs, and lwj.

wei wuxian -

the unofficial leader of the group made it after a night of drinking and eating snacks with jc & nhs where he brought it up and they all went "sure why not".

wwx is the dude who always has something funny to say and jc is always ready to throw a response that others will quote or make fan art of.

makes a lot of equipment since he likes making things, and tinkering with whatever they do own to make it even better.

even better meaning it'll annoy the living hell out of jc.

is a bit of a spirit magnet. this is both good, and dangerous due to nhs's sensitivity to spirits.

he picks the places that the group will go to and is always ready to drop extra history of the place at the worst time.

aka the things, a ghost or demon might have done to a living person.

wwx : SO! it was in this very room that this one dude died [very horrible death]. jc is very much on the side of team, "stop talking before you freak out nhs anymore than he already is."

may or may not have talked lwj into joining their group. he may or may not also tease lwj any chance he gets.

jiang cheng -

jc is the voice of reason on the team. for every three ideas wwx has, jc has four ready in response of why, no, and absolutely not.

in charge of finding places to stay, and finding local shops in the area to interview folks.

probably hates the sound of the spirit box.

jc very much seemed the one whose not so easily startled when something happens, and usually has a logical explanation to keep himself and others calm.

jc can repel spirits to a small degree, the zone is about a 5mm radius around his person and those near him are safe and unaffected by the spirits. he isn't aware of this skill.

the designated driver of the group. can read a map, but uses the GPS that was gifted to him.

He's also the one who comments on the layout of everywhere they visit because if nobody is going to mention how POORLY thought out these old haunted buildings are. he will bring it up.

"these blueprints fucking suck. i would come back to haunt this place and the son of a bitch who made it if i died here." - jc

nie huaisang -

nhs joined the group because what's more fun than doing something with your friends after doing things you do not want to do.

poor nhs.

nhs is very much the sort of guy in the group who is like "i know a guy, who knows a guy and that guy knows something really interesting about this place."

wwx and jc never ask how nhs knows people or the more cryptic things about the building because nhs's only response was "the ghosts told me" in the most serious voice and they've been too scared to bring the question up again.

how and what nhs knows can be for nhs to know only.

wishes that he wasn't the one left alone in an area all by himself without the lights on, a mag light, a radio, and a spirit box.

spirits like the little guy, but nhs does not care much for them.

the one who's the most sensitive to spirits. but lwj is helping him with training to better resist the push & pull from spirits.

lwj and nhs are an unlikely duo when working together and outside of ghost hunting. the two know one another prior to ghost hunting due to their families, but never really interacted much more than was needed of them.

lan wangji -

the fourth member of the group! a surprising addition to the ones who know him and a fan favorite.

lwj is good with the equipment that they use and watching cameras when at base camp.

his family has knowledge of spirits, how to handle them, bring them peace, and help them crossover.

lwj makes sure that the group is well-protected and safe if the location is truly dangerous to them. wwx is always happy to show off whatever little charm (sometimes a little rabbit is often doodled on the charms!!) or a talisman lwj has made for the group.

he helps to round the group out, and fans enjoy how monotone he sounds and how unaffected he seems by the supernatural occurrences happening.

lwj is often paired with wwx when the group splits up into pairs. fans seem to enjoy their interactions, especially seeing how close the two of them become since lwj is very much still lwj.

lwj finds himself impressed with the group as a whole, everyone works well with one another, and their personalities mesh well.

when on break from ghost hunting wwx gifts lwj two rabbits, he will often post pictures of them online or send pictures of them into the ghost hunting group chat. the rabbits are spoiled rotten, most of it is lwj, but jc is also the next biggest spoiler of the rabbits with wwx and nhs being tied.

#i DonT cARE ABOUT tHE rABBits #mdzs au #mdzs modern au #mdzs ghost hunters au #the ghost hunting quartet #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #nie huaisang #lan wangji #I WASN'T SUPER SURE OF HOW TO TAG THIS BUT TAKE IT #GET THE RATTLING OF THIS AU OUT OF MY HEAD!!! #sorry if it's ooc!!! i just want this to be free of my brain #jc my beloved #in this au lwj get's friends and by golly does he care about them #trust me the ghosts are scary but nhs is even more scary #- jc when asked if he likes lwj's rabbits while holding bags of rabbit goods #wwx is very much a chaotic loveable goober as per usual and you can believe when he realizes his feelings for lwj #he is very much like :0 and is a very cute mess #if anyone else finds joy in this bless you i just want these goobers to have some good fun silly times #feel free to babble or yell if you enjoy this! #papaya mumblings

Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else here but which are your favorite Jason Todd comic book runs?

Honestly, probably any of his stuff from when he was Robin in the 80s, I love Robin!Jason and he gets so frequently mischaracterized not just by the fandom but literally by modern writers within DC canon that someone needs to stick up for the little guy. I also include For The Man Who Has Everything in that because there's something very Good about little twelve year old Jason being the one who saves Batman from the Black Mercy, Superman from Mongol, and literally defeats Mongol in the process, I wish more people remembered that.

For Red Hood Jason, I hate to be a disappointment but I don't really keep up with modern DC because it pisses me off so egregiously (I tried guys, I did, but Gotham War is the last fucking straw, someone call me when they're sort of back to normal because what the fuck do you mean Bruce doesn't have a hand anymore???). So for Red Hood Jason, I tend to stick to Under the Red Hood, it's a solid story and has some great individual moments and I think it gives some solid characterization to a new iteration of Jason (that following stories immediately forgot but that's because DC didn't know what the fuck to do with Jason).

And for individual stories that have Jason in them, I wish I could remember the name and issue, but the book where Jason kidnaps Mia Dearden is great, I'm never not thinking about it, and Jason has a great moment during that whole arc where Kate Kane kills Clayface (I think it's Batman #951 or #967 but the number could be wrong, I just know that it's in the 900s). Also, it's not canon and I don't really care for the characterization or artwork, but Gotham Knights: Gilded City #5 had a moment about Jason that is simultaneously heartwrenching and also hysterically funny (both Jason and Tim are in trouble and Bruce is trying to figure out who to get to first and, upon being told by Alfred that Jason can handle himself and Tim is arguably in more danger, proceeds to ignore all of that and monologue about how he needs to go halfway around the world to get Jason because he's suffered too much already and he doesn't think either the family or he specifically could survive losing him again, which is very emotional but also sends me into fucking fits because he really just bowled over the fact that Jason could be fine and Tim might need him more without a second thought, it makes me so grateful my parents only had two kids and I'm the eldest so that I never had to witness the parenting of a middle child).

#personal #answered #anonymous #comic recommendations #ironically there's a reason for why when my mom asked for comic recs (long story) i gave her jed mackay's doctor strange run #even tho i'm much more emotionally invested in dc's characters #modern dr strange is enjoyable for me to read and modern batman Has Not Been #i would just like a character i have loved since age 7 to stop being written as an absolute shithead #just to appeal to a male power fantasy that does not jive at all with his established characterization #and to also stop being awful to his fucking children #the only good thing about That moment from gotham war is that someone actually stood up for jason #so grateful dick beat bruce into the ground for it i'm glad someone had jason's fucking back and was angry For him #and the harm done to him #but yeah read eighties jason he's a little baby and i love him so much #(also read detective comics 571 if you want to cry cry cry due to unintentional foreshadowing)

[ihatebnha]

Okay so the brainrot I was having earlier. It’s embarrassing because it’s so damned specific but

I was reading a fic where you get to see Bakugou’s penthouse for the first time. And he’s just kinda watching you for a minute, and is suddenly bristling out of nowhere.

Simply because of your lackluster reaction. Like, I’m sure with his kind of salary, he’s got a real nice place. Clean and tidy. But definitely a bachelor pad. Part of me wonders if he wouldn’t put too much thought into things with how busy he is. Hell, maybe he’s had an interior designer set it all up for him. Maybe he doesn’t care too much, so long as it looks nice? (And I could be 110% incorrect on that, but let’s just pretend for the ask that it is lmao.)

And it is nice. Very nice! Just not your style at all. But he’s acting all pissy at you, asking if you’ve got a problem. And you tell him the above. And what would it matter anyway? It’s his place, not yours!

But this mfer is acting all offended about it. But then he’s huffing and asking you what you like (and calling it stupid of course). Or he’s paying closer attention when he visits your place. This weirdo may even do some digging on your socials and find like a Pinterest board you’ve made of your dream home. Just oddly obsessed.

And you notice over time when you’re over there (started dating and all) that you’re really liking what he’s doing with the place. You’re just really liking the aesthetic so much better! It may be subtle changes: Different color scheme, new portraits on the wall, etc. You tell him how great it looks and he’s smug as shit, like ofc it is.

But why is this such a big deal to him? Because he wants to impress you? Because his penthouse feels more like you? More like home? (And it could be your home too ya know, dumbass. 🥺) It’s Bakugou fuckin’ Katsuki, are we ever going to fully know?

Like I said, super SUPER specific. I’m probably the only one who thinks it’s cute/funny. 😅

KORE, YOU LITERALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND! one of my BIGGEST brainrots for Bakugo is choosing new furniture + decor with him!!! And I was actually just writing about it the other day until I ended up scrapping what I had because I felt like it didn't match the prompt... BUT! ...literally, it makes me wanna tear out my hair. 

You're definitely right about the details of his place (it being more of a modern, bachelor pad)... and while I think he doesn't mind the way it looks, it's probably not very interesting because he really believes so long as it functions exactly as it should (that being, as a place to live), there’s no real need to make it homier than necessary.

(I feel like he probably recruits his parents to make it look nice and then never adds anything to it himself. Maybe a couple bookshelves, an All Might shrine... but other than that, very... plain. He just thinks there's no point because he's the only one living there.)

But when he meets you, suddenly he is kinda embarrassed that he never put any thought into is, especially because he wants you to feel like it’s your home (or could be, one day) just as much as it is his… 

And I don’t want to repeat everything you said because it was perfect already, but just to continue on… in my head, I feel like the first thing that changes are his towels. They go from all black, white and brown to a kind of… post-modern feel with fun shapes and colors and designs. You try to ask him about them and he’s just spitting out some bullshit about how “he needed new ones anyway,” which… is strange, but seems fine enough. 

Then his boring ass mugs (aside from the one that his name on it and the other one that’s shaped like a grenade) get replaced. From plain and typically shaped to ones that are in your favorite colors and in more unique designs that better fit in your hands. You ask him about those, too, and it’s the same excuse or maybe even that they were a gift. 

And it goes on, you know. Sheet by pillow by wall art by fresh flowers in the vase and new pepper shakers, praise by praise (which makes the whole thing worth it to him)… until he ends up having to confess that he did it all for you and will you please just move in with him? 

UGH, just… *shakes you by the shoulders* WHY IS IT SUCH A THOUGHT, I DON’T EVEN KNOW…………….

And I think, continuing my earlier thought… even before you meet them, his parents absolutely LOVE you because you’re the reason their son’s apartment has suddenly started feeling like a real home. The first night you meet them after you move in, they’re complimenting you on all your little additions.

I’m ill over this, seriously. Ill. 

(And I was gonna put this in the tags, but another part of my daydream regarding this is like... him doing an interview where he ends up talking about how you're the reason he got more into house decor + furniture. Who knows how + why this occurs, but he's really just out there telling people about how stylish you are... or even the new salt and pepper grinders you bought that he actually really likes LOL <333)

#bakugo #no bc im super into that post modern style of home decor that costs literally SO much money #and im always thinking to myself when i browse those websites 'id make bakugo buy that for me and he'd LIKE it' #adjfhalsdjfj we're on that same bs for real im so... ajsdfads #like him making his place all cozy FOR YOU??? him getting more colorful and bright because OF YOU #god why does it fit him so well #even if its hard to talk about bc everyone has their own style #dunno but YES THANK U KORE #ask #tomurastrashpanda #caitie post #queue

[despairforme]

How did Nnoitra develop his fashion style? Was it different as kid? Would he cringe at his younger self?

❝ My fuckin' WHAT now? Fashion style? ❞ He looked down at his body, and tugged at his baggy, washed-out t-shirt. It was kinda funny, having someone refer to the way he dressed as a ' fashion style ', so he was chuckling. He'd spotted a smudge on his t-shirt, and was currently trying to rub it off with aggressive use of his thumb. And some spit.

❝ Would ya really call this a style? ❞ He asked with a small laugh, his face twisting into a focused expression as he continued to work on the smudge. Nnoitra definitely didn't think he had any sort of STYLE. He wore clothes only for their practicality and their comfort. He didn't think he'd ever, in his entire life, actually dressed up.

Nnoitra always wore large, baggy t-shirts. Not because he thought they looked good on him or whatever, but because that's what fit him. He had an incredibly awkward build. His shoulders were REALLY wide. So wide that triple X could feel kinda tight sometimes. He had to shop at stores that were meant for... Large people, let's say. People who weighed what? Ten times as much as him? The hell if he knew. Those t-shirts were large enough for his shoulders and his wide chest, but - Nnoitra had skinny arms and the smallest waist. At least his torso was long, so the t-shirts didn't end up too long on him. But yeah, they appeared baggy. He had the same problem when buying hoodies or sweaters.

Pants were easier, since Nnoitra's legs were thin, and his hips narrow. The length though? Yeah, that was an issue. He bought whatever pants would fit him, whenever he came across them. Mostly they were a little short on him, but whatever.

He had a large black coat he wore in winter, and he always wore the same old army boots that he'd bought years ago. Other than that? He wore his eye-patch every day and that pretty much concluded his whole "fashion style". As for colours? He preferred black, grey or muted colours. In summer he wore a little bit of a brighter range, with reds and some yellows. He had some green t-shirts too. He preferred to buy clothes with a darker colour because they didn't stain so easily.

He'd wore the same kinda clothes his whole adult life, as well as when he was a teenager. More or less since he grew this tall, he had to adapt to wearing clothes that a) would fit him, and b) were cheap. It had been easier when he was a kid, since he'd been normal-sized, and he'd just worn whatever his mother bought for him. He had never CARED about wearing fancy stuff. What he wanted was to appear less skinny, and baggy clothes definitely did that for him.

So no, he wouldn't cringe at his younger self. At least not due to how his younger self had dressed. Hell, he probably still wore some of the same t-shirts from 10 years ago.

❝ How I'd describe it... ❞ He pondered out loud, tapping his fingers against the stain, which he'd somehow managed to make worse with his efforts to remove it. ❝ It's comfortable 'n ugly. ❞ He found the description funny, and grinned.

#[ aaaaaaaaaa good ask anon !! ] #[ i forever wanted to base nnoitra's fashion style off his canon style but ] #[ modern human style just doesn't translate well to the arrancar style ] #[ and also he's more insecure about his build in modern than he is in canon ] #[ in canon he just dislikes it but he's not so bothered by it ] #[ in modern he h a t e s it ] #[ and also... it's not like he could afford tailor made clothes so i had to think about what would actually fit a guy his size xD ] #[ SO YEAH ] #[ introducing some green into his wardrobe bc of his mantis theme ] #[ and yellow bc that's his favorite color ] #[ thank you very much for sending the ask !! it was fun to answer! :D ] #despair for me. ╱ in character. #talking shit. ╱ answers. #burn the city. ╱ main verse.

thinking about elmer’s more contemporary aus (basically anything where he’s not immortal && takes place in the 20th or 21st century) && rereading 2002 has made me realize how horrifying it is for him to be raised in modern-day SAMPLE.

#the archaic version of the cult is awful don’t get me wrong but #it’s a lot more horrific when you think about how it exists in a more modern era #awful awful awful awful awful #it almost makes me not want to write it but I will. I just have to not think too much about the details lol #anyway laney. thinking about that ask/this new thread #& PATTERN FINDER. ( OOC )

People I can’t discuss without going blind with rage (literally my mind blanks on words that aren’t just screaming motherfucker about them) in no particular order:

- Anton LaVey (Laveyans themselves are okay I guess and like we don’t need any more infighting in our community but the dude himself annoys me to no end)

- King Charles the whatever number they gave that twat

- the former president (I can talk about him but if I have to hear his voice it’s worse than nails on a chalkboard)

- Elon Musk (it’s like when the former president was on Twitter except Elon actually has money. Just constant updates and notifications for the dumbest temper tantrums imaginable)

Feel free to add to this

#jlktalks. #this may actually be in order of how much they annoy me #like in terms of historical damage obvi trump and musk are worse #but there’s a specific type of personality component to it #idk if it’s ego or what #because none of these are on my list of people who are to blame for all of modernity’s problems #for the record that’s John Calvin Ronald Reagan Roy Cohn and Henry Kissinger #but they somehow piss me off more despite being less impactful #it was funny when a kid asked me about Charles and I had to explain to him that I didn’t know how to explain my feelings appropriately #one of the kids also asked me about Andrew tate but I just ended up banning his name from my class #with Charles it’s like no you can talk about him but eventually y’all might hear some new vocabulary words that aren’t district approved

SENSUAL BITING  &  LICKING PROMPTS (I can still accept a few ones...)

It was perhaps because he was busy cooking their breakfast, but it seemed that Kynil felt unusually very demanding this morning. He was still wearing Mads’ shirt, barely covering his marked thighs, his blond locks entirely disheveled onto his skull. It was very early after all, but once more, Mads had a hard time falling asleep. Even so, Mads could openly admit that it was kind of cute to see the young man so grumpy and tired, but he would keep these emotions deep inside of him. He was more focused on the omelet right in front of his eyes, the bacon still not done, and the coffee gently rambling in its pot by his side.

He was thinking about what he was actually doing with Kynil, for a few weeks. It was dangerous for him to open-up to someone, his emotions and reactions quite unpredictable. He felt he was sometimes at the edge of losing his mind, his past harassing him like invisible bullets, all of them able to pierce holes into his chest, his cold blood bleeding out, revealing his weaknesses. The more he was spending time with Kynil, and the more the thief could see through the veil of Mads’ personality. It was a terrifying sensation.

Yet, a jolt of harmless pain traveled through his body when Mads sensed teeth nibbling his inner wrist. He almost flinched, and frankly, he could have caught Kynil's hair and shove his head directly into the fire of the oven for that. But Mads was surprisingly in control despite the gesture, his blue eyes falling onto the face of the blond, who was slowly taking the spatula off his hands. “Oh…” He could experience the unexpected burning smell invading his nostrils, his attention back on the burnt eggs. “Shit! Dammit!”

He quickly turned off the plates while an irritated sigh escaped his throat. Kynil had just prevented him from having another dissociating crisis, and even if the food was ruined, Mads felt deeply relieved that someone could have that kind of power upon him. Mads pushed the frying pan off the induction plates, then took a moment to observe Kynil, before he decided to tug a strand of his blond hair behind his ears. He was really, really cute…

“It’s been a while since I didn’t order my breakfast from the Columbus Coffee downtown.” His eyes lingered onto the hickeys displayed on Kynil’s neck, an urge of possessiveness pushing him to skim the purple print with the pad of his thumb. “Go take a shower, take your time, make yourself comfortable. I’ll go pick up some food for us.”

Lae'zel's character and her entire situation at the beginning of the game becomes so much more funny when you find out she's 22. It makes so much sense. Imagine you're 22 and you're exposed to this dangerous toxin or chemical or something - but not to worry, you learnt that this can be easily fixed, you just need to dial 911 real quick. Common knowledge. Everyone knows that. You learnt that in kindergarten, it's up there with fire alarm drills.

But the people you're stuck with have no concept of modern medicine and when you say "let's go to the hospital" they will say shit like "i think they kill people at the hospital" and "we should ask this swamp lady" or "this guy over there told me about this homoeopathic healer kind of guy but he got abducted" or "this random bard wants to help" and "I'm not going to dial 911 because I don't want the government to know my home address" or "maybe we should consider a deal with Satan". And then a bunch of them KEEP consuming the chemical because it makes them "stronger". One guy might explode for unrelated reasons. You have a few days before this situation is getting critical and suddenly they're solving crime and doing general charity for the community.

And FOR SOME REASON you still try to help these idiots and you STILL want to help them get the cure even though they all keep insisting the "doctors" at the "hospital" might try to "kill them" and they don't have insurance. And you keep telling them to just. go. to. the. hospital. before the time runs out and you all die very horribly of a very treatable condition.

And also you're 22 in a foreign country and you're responsible for shepherding this gaggle of idiots who are all ranging anywhere from 24 to 240 years old.

#you have to consider the fact that she has no reason to doubt or question the Creche as the easy fix for her problems. #Go there. Get Purified. Done. #and she even wants to make sure that this lot gets treated too. Honestly she is so good to them by Gith standards it's insane #baldur's gate 3 #lae'zel
