The crew listens to Epic: the Musical.

MK's favorite song is Legendary.

Wukong identifies with Just a Man (not that he'll admit it).

Macaque likes Ruthlessness because he's an emo little stinker.

Sandy likes Open Arms (of course).

Tang and Red Son like Warrior of the Mind.

Pigsy really thinks the monkeys should take Luck Runs Out to heart.

Mei likes Keep Your friends close (a fun bop that belies danger underneath, just like her).

I have to be careful binging a new muscial (or in this case Saga) cus I end up playing each song on loop for hours. Opinions might change once the full and finished versions of later sagas are released.

I love all these hcs <3

Im imagining the gang likely sees/listens to Epic on the reccomendation of MK (who's currently on a Greek Mythology hyperfixation), and he gets them all to watch the full play - maybe in the future as a irl performance or film.

"Legendary" is SUCH an MK song. Both him and Telemachus growing up with the stories of someone dear to them and wanting to replicate their success. I could also see him really liking "Warrior of the Mind" with the theme of "some nobody" gaining the favor of a god (reminds you of anyone?) + SWK is infamously the personification of The Mind in Jttw so its a bonus. MK is smiling evily whenever a harsh plot twist occurs and his fam are shocked silent. >:3

Sun Wukong feels targeted personally with how many of the Epic songs remind him of his past. Ofc he starts crying halfway through "Horse and the Infant", and is inconsolable during "Just A Man" - verbally yelling "NO!" at the end. And like Nezha and Sandy is *silent* during Posideon's songs. Is super jazzed during the triumphant Ithaca Saga though! And feels mega catharic during "King" when Odysseus proves that he still rules to the suitors! He tries his best to hide how much the muscial is affecting him.

Macaque is a canon theatre Nerd - so he's already listened to the musical multiple times, but he's uber excited to see the live performance (and secretly bond with his found fam). Is rocking out during "Ruthlessness" and "Done For" in particular, so much so that he's fidgeting and dancing within his seat. He also vibes with "No Longer You" as someone with powers of prophecy. Is really amazed how much Wukong gets into the musical, but in retrospect understands *why*. Him and Wukong accidentally share a glance during "Would You Fall In Love With Me Again" and it gets a little awkward afterwards.

Mei is similarly excited to see anything with her bestie, so she tried her best not hear/see any spoilers ("it's a centuries' old story Mei" "Ssssh!! Dont tell me!"). She was shooketh by how hard the muscial goes. "Keep Your Friends Close" is her fave based on beat alone. She gets delightedly scared and amazed by consistent horse imagery used with Posideon (shameless link to my fave Animatic of "Ruthlessness").

Tang loves himself some historical and mythological adaptations, and is estatic that MK has given him an excuse to go see one! He's not as familar with Hellenic mytholgy as he is with Hindu-Chinese, but he knows enough lore to make the pog-champ face at every foreshadowing/reference. "Warrior of the Mind" really gets to him as a song about valuing your smarts. He also feels really empathetic for Calypso.

Pigsy only went cus Tang begged him. He feels super lost by the deep Greek lore he's missing, but he can get Odysseus's whole thing with trying to get home - but he def identifies more with Eurylochus. "Luck Runs Out" proves this to him. Later on he feels that the second-in-command was justified in having the soldiers rebel against Odysseus after so many losses (who wouldn't after losing all their friends?). Audibly gasps at the end of "Just A Man" - cus who would just do that!? Is a little freaked out by Circe turning the Athenian's into pigs - Eurylochus is depicted as partly-transformed, played by a pig-demon actor who was in super convincing human makeup in the previous sagas. He also gets protective feelings by-proxy seeing Telemachus's situation since the prince reminds him of MK. Is surprised by how much he likes the musical!

Sandy feels betrayed. This isn't like Disney Hercules at all! He does really enjoy Polites message in "Open Arms" and the later moments when the hopeful soldier's outlook is proven correct. He's a little overwhelmed at points though - he get eerily quiet during Posideon's scenes. He sobs joyfully when Odysseus finally makes it home and reunites with his family! :')

Because of this really good animatic/almost child-like depiction of Aelous by gigi; I can def see "Keep Your Friends Close" being Nezha's fave. It reminds Nezha of when he was far more carefree + has a solid lesson on about trust/"forbidden fruit". He also enjoys the more march-like tune of "Survive". He does however, freeze when he listens to Posideon's songs "Ruthlessness" and "Get in the Water" - he has been on the bad end of a sea god before and is quietly shtting himself for Odysseus.

Red Son goes in feeling like he could have stayed at home listening to the musical on his phone while working on a car instead. He is however blown away by the heavy themes and performances, especially "Warrior of the Mind" and Telemachus's situation - a prince forced to grow up fatherless and protecting his mother from suitors due to his dad pissing off a higher power? Hello?? Accidentally shrieks "YES!!!" when Athena becomes Telemachus's mentor/friend after "Little Wolf".

Princess Iron Fan I could see loving any song including Penelope (she empathizes with the Queen's situation hard), but unexpectedly enjoys "Keep Your Friends Close" - she's a fellow Wind Goddess at her core. It also reminds her of her not-so-little-anymore nephew.

DBK on the flip side loves the heavier songs like "Polyphemus" and "Ruthlessness". This man is a Posedion apologist. He does feels bad for Odysseus by the end though - man just wants to get back to his wife and kid dammit!

Bonus: The Spider Gang are watching the bootleg and Spider Queen agrees with Circe's whole girlboss attitude especially "Puppeteer". Scorpion Queen is Calypso in "Not Sorry For Loving You".

This got a little away from me - hope you enjoy!

Hubristic Assholes tourney Round 1 part 3a

Herbert West (Re-Animator, both book and film) vs Victor Frankenstein (Frankenstein)

Propaganda below cut

Herbet

Literally has a whole monologue about defying god in the second movie. (https://youtu.be/BOt0rRhofuI?si=o7wCwAaT347jUmcp)

Playing God by defying death itself

Victor

"ouh im gonna create life from scratch and it's gonna be Pog and Slay" WRONG it wwas FUCKT . he didnt give that thang enough SKIN even . and then it killed his whole family, well he is just a silly guy .

Textbook definition of fuck around and find out. To his credit - yeah, he was a genius who sped through All Of Chemistry Classes in 2 years and revolutionized the field of natural sciences at his university while he was barely 20, arguably invented biochemistry (and then never told anyone) and created a human(ish) being from scratch (and again, never told anyone), BUT Honestly I don't even need to say anything here, I can literally just paste a direct quote: "Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world. A new species would bless me as its creator and source; many happy and excellent natures would owe their being to me. No father could claim the gratitude of his child so completely as I should deserve theirs." He saw LIFE AND DEATH ITSELF as just a STARTING POINT ffs Needless to say, the "find out" stage hit him like a freight train making the rest of his life just one long trauma conga line until he died completely alone before even hitting 30 Give it up to our king of hubris, Greatest pathetic wet meow meow of gothic literature tbh

thought he could be better than God by making his own man so that he could later bring people (his mother) back to life. whole thing blew up in his face cause 1. he made it way too big and way too able to kill people 2. he immediately got scared of it and ran away 3. he left it alone without teaching it how to actually function as a human, further adding to the murderous tendencies.

Thinks making life is easy. Does not consider the life he made actually worth anything, He's like the platonic ideal of a shitty parent who wants recognition for Being A Parent without actually having the ability to care for someone else, just taken to a cartoonish extreme. Look where that got him.

Tries to create a whole ass person from scratch. It does not go well; The guy needs no introduction. Guy tries creates a whole human person cobbled together from dead bodies, breathes life into it, immediately abandons his creation, and proceeds to have his life completely destroyed when said creation goes on a rampage of revenge. Subtitle of the book is literally the 'Modern Prometheus.'

Do I really have to explain this one. He made a Guy. He played God. Then the Guy killed his entire family and (boy)friend; He is Pathetic

Victor wanted to play god. Created monster. Monster tried to kill him. Killed his brother, his gf, and his BFF, and came after him. A horror icon, and the modern archetype of the mad scientist in fiction. He's a pathetic pissbaby that needs to be punched. Cunt dies in the end get rekked lol.

I mean come on, Please he's like the guy

#herbert west #re animator #victor frankenstein #mary shelly's frankenstein #hubristic assholes tourney #official #poll #round 1 #round 1 part 3a #sorry to the westheads in the audience for this matchuo

This image does not belong to me… it is from Sopita Pog and you can follow it on Instagram.

If there is something that as humans identifies us as such; It is the fact that thanks to our emotions and feelings we can recognize our own humanity. A person in constant growth must know that this is elementary. This and the fact that being sociable beings and living in a community (it's not my thing, look for related information and you'll have to agree with me) we have that tendency and need to live in groups, live with others, relate technically.

All this forms that inevitable process; growing up And although this is palpable, it has been part of many stories, part of the narrative from reading, cinema, series, etc… I explain this so that you understand my point. If we live it, it is nothing out of the ordinary, it is not wrong, nor is it bad, that growth is experienced by the characters that we like so much. A growth that allows them to improve or worsen. In the case of Din, Grogu and Bo, it's a blessing that this growth goes straight to something positive.

It irritates me that they want to deny that possibility to these characters and continue pigeonholing them into "I'm the tough one, the tough one, the one who's never going to get better and that's fine."

It is definitely throwing away the entire process experienced in the seasons or the content. It is not understanding that "being someone powerful" does not only consist of an important position, having a lot of money, causing fear in others, etc etc… the true intention of having power, of being powerful, of feeling fulfilled is to be happy, to live a change, having friends or a partner or family, not always ending up alone, having others who contribute to you, and that you know that empowers you, enriches you, not only materially.

Well, it is appreciated that Din and Grogu are together because that was always the purpose, denying Grogu or wanting to throw him away is ruining the series, it is wanting to spoil Din and his new path. Now to say that Bo Katan, they only want to pigeonhole her into being Din's girlfriend or just being Grogu's mom… it seems ridiculous to me and a pathetic and meaningless argument.

If you know Bo's story, everything she has experienced and that she has always been surrounded by war, you will understand her point when she said it in "Clone Wars" "I would like to be good at something else, not just fighting."

I said it before, I say it now and I will continue to say it; If by her own decision she wanted to continue as Mandalore, retire, be alone, or be with Din, her right is and she has it and has earned it. Taking care of Grogu, being his friend and betting on the role of mother does not make her weaker or less important; on the contrary, the desired motherhood is a blessing, a right that many people like to minimize. A very important act of love and responsibility, a high position that not everyone fulfills and the fact that she decides and applies it does not make her any less and it is very wrong that people take it that way, interpret it that way and want to impose it. as such. Mothers have an important role in our lives, in our environment, obviously in this content, if you don't believe me, just go check out this great character from Hera Syndulla. I applaud the fact that this line of growth is visible.

I applaud you for bringing Din and Bo closer and making the possibility of them being together, walking and continuing to grow together visible and palpable. Because growing is an internal process but there is always the option of not experiencing this process alone. And with Grogu by the hand, what better

#the mandalorian #this is the way #dinbo #bo katan x din #bokadin #din djarin #bo katan kryze #grogu djarin #clandetres

Hi, after what we saw today I'm ready for the new fics! So may I request Clay or (Dream) x fem!reader were they also announce that they are getting married after he revealed? "Also we're getting married in 3 months" P.s -can you make it were none of their friends knew, and found out sametime as the fans?

Because of the fact that the video clearly took more then one take to get it right. I'm gonna make that one of the key points of the Story.

⚠️ Warning for swearing ⚠️

(When recording the video)

For the past few minutes Clay has been doing take after take. Trying to get the perfect way to drop the news of us getting married. But after at least 10 minutes of him mumbling at a camera I just got up from the bed in the corner and walked behind him.

"Do you need help?" I ask with a chuckle as I pull up a chair. "Hi camera, you might know me as Y/n, Y/u/n or just that random person who betrayed L'manburg with Eret and starting dating Dream afterwards" I say with one breath.

But I stop at the sound of the tea kettle sitting beside me doing his iconic wheeze before I continue "And you also may be asking why I'm in this video, it's about Dreams face reveal, not some random girl" I get cut off by Clay suddenly saying

"your not a Random girl" as he kisses me on the forehead and turns back to the camera "And the reason why she is here is because a month ago we got engaged" Clay says with less mumbles then before.

"Dear god, this is gonna be weird to post" I say as I hold up my hand to show the ring he got me. "The wedding is happening in 3 months and we are both hoping for all of our friends and family to show up. And hopefully he doesn't start a WAR with Tommy at the wedding". I look at him with a strong death glare.

"I'm more mature then that" Clay says as he turns a bit in his chair. "Clay, we make governments in Minecraft for a living. There is no such thing as being mature" I say as we spend the next few minutes explaining what's gonna be happening and when.

(Putting the video online)

We have been looking at the chat flying by during the face reveal, saying either hateful or kind things about him. And I've been standing behind him and leaning against his gaming chair from moral support the entire time.

"How many people are gonna say that your hot?" I ask as he laughs and responds with "There hearts are gonna be shattered at the end of this video". "Most probably more by the fact that it's me and not George." I say as we break out into a fit of laughter.

"I love you, remember that no matter what they say I will still love you" He turns to me in his chair and pulls me onto him so I sit on his lap. "I love you too" I kiss him as we turn back to the monitor, "Here we go!" I say as I show up on screen.

'Who is she?'

'Is that Y/n?!?'

'Who the fuck is she'

The chat says but when we suddenly say the big news the chat completely changes and turns into.

'WHAT?!?'

'Will someone explain to me who she is!?!'

And

'POG!'

And some hateful things but we don't pay attention to those because suddenly from across the house we hear Nick scream

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Which completely catches us off guard and sends us into another fit of laughter as we hear him run up to the door and open it. "Why didn't you tell me!?!" But we don't answer because of us still dying on the floor.

Ring!

"oh dear god someone is calling" I say as I get up and check who it is.

Ring!

"Some- someones calling me too" Clay picks up his phone while trying to calm down his laughing as Sapnap is just left there with no answers to his several questions.

(The aftermath)

We had to answer a lot of calls that day. And when George got to the house he stole my ring and wore it the rest of the day. And I also spent half of my day talking Eret into being my maid of honor because of both of us being the traitors of Lmanburg and also the bride and maid of honor would be very funny to me...

(this was a lot funner than I thought it would be so I might make a part 2 thats the wedding so... Stay tuned!)

Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four pog | Part Five

I do not like this one as much but! I put too much effort into it to not post it so here ya go

Once again thank you to the lovely @applestruda and @stiffyck!

Alright, so maybe flying while injured was a bad idea. So what? A lot of things Grian did were bad ideas, but that never stopped him. Didn't mean he didn't regret it, though.

Another flap of his wings made him wince, and he pressed a hand against his side. Judging by the slight dampness of the bandages, the wound had begun bleeding again, though it wasn't a concerning level just yet. Hopefully it would remain that way until he found Scar.

Squinting, Grian searched the forest he was flying over. The canopy was thick, but not so much that he'd have to land to see. Not that it would've helped– he was completely lost, with no sign of Scar to help him out. Cub had pointed him in the direction Scar had gone, but as time dragged on Grian began to feel more and more hopeless.

So with a sigh, he opened his other eyes to search the area. The surge of new information nearly overpowered him, and he fought to stay steady in the air. Using the other eyes was always a bit of a challenge, especially while flying, but he had to. For Scar.

A group of men, mercenaries judging by their getup, making their way through the forest.

A stream flowing through the woods, waters clear and cool.

Animals foraging for food, plucking nuts and berries off trees and bushes.

A man with a cat, sadly poking the remains of a fire with a stick.

Grian shook his head before locking in on that last image. “There you are,” he muttered, veering slightly to change his direction. Carefully, he closed his other eyes, blinking away the beginnings of a headache that always came with using them.

He flew for another few minutes before descending, ignoring the warning pain from his side. It made him wish he had brought extra bandages, or even a cloak, but in his haste to find Scar he had left without so much as a shirt.

“At least I have pants,” he reasoned, “I'm not quite like Scar yet.”

Grian landed with a pained hiss, stumbling as pain shot up his side. His arms shot out and he braced himself against a tree, panting slightly. The startled shriek did not escape his notice, nor did the muffled thud as Scar fell off the log he had been sitting on. Heaving a sigh, Grian turned around as his friend scrambled up. “Hi, Scar.”

Scar brushed himself off, eyes wide. “G! Uh, hey there! What's up?”

Grian blinked. “What's up? What's up? Scar, what were you thinking, running off like that?”

Scar chuckled, scuffing the ground with his foot nervously. “Well, funny thing about that, y'see–”

Grian groaned, rubbing his forehead. “You weren't. Of course. Come on, we gotta get back before nightfall.” He took a step forward before stumbling, the pain in his side too much to ignore now.

Scar lunged forward, grabbing Grian's arm to help steady him before slowly lowering them both to the ground. “Grian, you're hurt.” His voice filled with grief. “Because of me, might I add. What are you doing, G?”

Grian braced himself against Scar, face scrunched up in pain. “I was trying to find you! Do you know how worried I was? God, Scar, why?” He looked up at Scar, dark eyes full of concern. “Why did you run?”

Scar looked away, his face falling. “You know why, G. I lost control. I hurt you–”

“You didn't mean to–”

“But I did!” Scar snapped, anger in his tone now. “I hurt you, and I'm still hurting you! Look at you!” He gestured to Grian's bloodied bandages. “Look at what I did to you!”

“Scar!” Grian grabbed the other man's shoulders, looking right into his eyes. “Stop. Do you even hear yourself right now?” He sighed, looking away. “Scar, I don't blame you for what happened. It was an accident, okay? Stop beating yourself up over something that wasn't even your fault.” He smiled gently, looking back at Scar. “Does that sound good?”

Scar made a pained noise, shaking his head. “Grian, you don't understand. I messed up. I thought I was in control but I wasn't, and I just– I was so powerless, G. What if it happens again? What if I hurt someone else? What if–” And his hands were shaking now, his chest heaving as he gasped for air– “what if I kill someone?”

“I told you, I told you all that I had it under control. That I could protect you. That I could be strong. And I failed, I failed you all and I failed myself! Gods, Grian– the way they looked at me. They were scared. And I couldn't... I couldn't handle it. So I ran.”

Scar covered his face with his hands, shoulders shaking as he began to sob. “I know I'm a coward. I know I'm not deserving of the knight title. I know that I never deserved–”

“Scar.”

Scar paused, looking up at Grian. His face was tear-stained, eyes red from crying. Grian smiled sadly, leaning forward and wiping Scar's tears away with his thumb. “Scar, take a deep breath with me, okay? In... and out. And again. In... out. I'm so proud of you. Can I hug you?”

Scar nodded, sniffling softly. He leaned forward into Grian's arms, resting his chin on the avian's shoulder. There was a soft rustling of feathers, and Grian's wings wrapped around him, enveloping them in a warm hug.

They stayed like that for a while, the sound of nature the background ambience for their thoughts. Scar found that he was able to take deeper breaths, that his heart had stopped racing and his thoughts had begun to pull out of the spiral. With a soft sigh, he pulled back, gazing down at Grian.

Grian smiled up at him. “Feeling better?” When Scar nodded, his smile grew. “Good. We'll have a proper chitchat when we get back home, but for now let's just focus on getting back. You wouldn't happen to have any healing pots on you?” he added after a moment, his smile becoming sheepish.

Scar laughed softly, shaking his head. “Unfortunately not.” He glanced over at Jellie, who had been curled up in the sunlight asleep the entire time. Of course. Glancing back, he noticed with growing concern that Grian's bandages were becoming more stained with blood. “Maybe we should rest for a bit, put some pressure on that wound of yours and wait for it to stop bleeding.”

Grian waved him off. “Eh, it'll be fine, just as long as I don't strain it any more.” He pushed himself to his feet with a groan, Scar following and helping steady him. “Thank you, Scar.”

Scar shook his head. “No. Thank you. For going out of your way to find me, even when you were injured.”

Grian shrugged. “You'd do the same for me.”

“Dang right I would!” Scar grinned, whistling to wake Jellie. “C'mere, girl!”

The blue cat stretched, yawning as she woke. Blinking wearily, she padded over to Scar and jumped onto his shoulders, curling around his neck before disappearing into mist.

“Right then,” Scar began, “am I carrying you, or am I carrying you?”

Grian frowned. “I'm sorry?”

“Well, I can't just allow you to walk like that. You're injured! Wounded! You said it yourself, you can't strain yourself or your injury will get worse!”

“Oh no. Absolutely not.” Grian stepped back, laughing. “You are not carrying me, Scar! For heaven's sake–!” He suddenly cut off his lighthearted protests, feathered ears twitching slightly. “...shush, Scar. Did you hear that?”

Scar's smile fell as he concentrated. “...no, I don't think so–”

An arrow shot past the two and embedded itself with a thud in a tree. Immediately Scar moved in front of Grian, his hand going to his waist where–

His sheath lay empty, his sword discarded in the field when he had run, and Scar internally cursed himself for his stupidity. “You good, G?” he called back, not wanting to take his eyes off of where the arrow had come from.

“Yeah, I'm alright.” Grian raised his voice. “Who's out there? Show yourself!”

No response. Scar turned to look at Grian fully. “Maybe they just shot an arrow and left,” he suggested, just as a second arrow was fired.

“Scar! Look out!” Grian lunged forward, snapping his wings open around Scar just in time for the arrow to hit, letting out a loud yelp of pain as the bolt sank into his feathers. But that wasn't all- the patch of red on his bandages was spreading again, fast. Wincing, Grian stumbled back as he pressed both hands against his side. “Shoot.”

Scar placed his hands on Grian's shoulders, pushing him down and standing over him to better protect his injured friend. “Show yourself!” he challenged, his voice cold and sharp. “Come out now and I might spare you.”

Laughter rang out from all around them as Scar stood over Grian, glaring at the trees. Slowly, a group of five men stepped out from the cover of the trees, surrounding the two. Scar's eyes darted over each one, analyzing them all quickly to see just how screwed they were. Sword, sword, bow, ax, crossbow. Common mercenaries, he decided, and confident ones at that.

But is their confidence false, or has it been earned?

Scar glared at the one with the bow, watching Grian examine the arrow in his wing out of the corner of his eye. He was a little more worried about the blood that continued to seep through the bandages that wrapped around Grian's torso, staining them a bright red. His gaze was drawn over to another mercenary who stepped forward with a proud sort of sneer on his face.

“Scar, I presume? Former member of convex? Thief, swindler, criminal?” The man examined his blade, turning it so it would catch the light just right. “We've been on your trail for a while. What a lucky day this is for us, huh?”

The other mercenaries let out a cheer as Scar groaned and rolled his eyes. “Come on, guys, can't we just let it go? Jeez, don't you have anything better to do with your lives? Besides, I'm a changed man now. No more swindling for me!”

“That’s so not true,” Grian muttered, and Scar took a moment to glare at him and mutter ‘not helping’ before turning back to the mercenaries.

“Besides, I’m kinda busy right now? So like, could you come back later or something?” Scar gestured to Grian. “I gotta get my friend back home. He’s injured, y’see, because you kinda shot him.”

The mercenary with the sword laughed, shaking his head. “Oh, no. No, no, no, I don’t think so. We have spent far too long hunting you down to give you up now. You’re coming with us.” He waved his men forward. “And take that avian, too. I’m sure we’ll find a use for him.”

Scar’s smile instantly sharpened, his gaze becoming cold. “Oh no. Absolutely not. You do not get to threaten my friends.”

“And who’s going to stop me?” The sword-wielding mercenary stepped forward. “You’re all alone out here. No friends, no one to save you… just give up before you get hurt.”

Grian struggled to push himself to his feet, staggering as he stood, forcing himself to not lean on Scar. “Sounds like fun!” he chirped, forcing a smile. “Right, then. Shall we get on with it?”

Despite their injuries and lack of weapons, Scar and Grian fought well. They were a team, trained to fight against impossible odds and make it out alive. Well placed kicks and punches could do quite a bit of damage, especially when their opponents weren’t wearing armor. Still, Grian was injured and Scar was weaponless. Perhaps they could’ve held their own if they were less tired, or in better shape.

Grian was the first to fall, the wound on his side struck by the hilt of an ax. Scar shouted, lunging for the one who had struck Grian down but was knocked to the ground by the swordsman, the wind knocked out of him as he hit the ground. Struggling for air, Scar tried to push himself up but was pinned when the mercenary put his foot on his chest. “Get off me!” Scar spat, grabbing the man’s leg and trying to push him off.

The mercenary leaned down, chuckling. “That’s it? You were so full of yourself earlier, I thought you would’ve put up a better fight. I’m disappointed, honestly. This was pitifully easy.” Straightening up, he snapped his fingers. “Alright boys, round ‘em up.”

Grian let out a pained yelp as he was yanked to his feet, fighting back tears as his arms were pinned behind his back. Scar struggled harder now, fighting against the mercenary while shouting Grian’s name. Alongside the rage, he could feel the magic rising up within him, turning his eyes an icy blue as the color from his hair faded.

And yet- and yet-

With a panicked gasp, Scar shoved the rising magic back down, forcing it into dormancy. He couldn’t. Not while the memory of his friend on the ground covered in blood was still fresh in his mind. Not while the image of his friends’ horrified faces was still fresh in his mind. Not while he still blamed himself for everything.

“I’m sorry,” he gasped out as he was yanked up, arms roughly tugged behind his back and tied together. His frantic gaze met Grian’s eyes, clouded by pain and widened in fear. “Grian, I’m sorry, I-”

The hilt of an ax struck Scar’s head, and darkness descended on him.

I showed my friend, who knows almost nothing about f1 and has absolutely no filter, photos of each driver on the 2022 grid and made her name and give me her first impressions on them and 😭.

Would hype you up if you were feeling down

“He's that one cousin who you see at family gatherings every 4 years that you get along with super well but never talk to outside of those gatherings as neither of you can seem to make the effort to reach out.” (yes, this is her exact wording 😭)

“Is his hair wet or is that just an unholy amout of hair gel?”

Daniel Ricciardo: Arnesto

Very popular among the guys and gals ;)

Looks like he belongs in FIFA

today is the FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the dnd campaign that i am a member of...!! so you know that a long rambling post is 100% in order.

five years ago, i played dnd for the very first time. (the date on that post says the 16th but that's because we played for like a billion hours and it went past midnight. because of course it did.) i remember being so, so nervous about it bc i seriously knew next to nothing about dnd. i had never watched any tabletop shows or anything and i was pretty much totally new to improv. i had no idea what a d20 was. i wish i was kidding. i truly just dived right in there. (fitting, i guess, since the character i play is a triton... LMFAO).

i'm so glad that decided to try it out regardless bc it has paid off in ways that i can't even begin to express fully... this campaign has accompanied me through so many life events - both the good and the bad - and i cherish each and every one of our Merry Band of Misfits' adventures. even when shit hit the fan and encounters got tense or chaotic in some form, it ended up making for some absolutely wonderful memories. i'm so glad that that reides - my lil blue fish lad!!! - is a member of the champions valoris.

reides is a character who is extremely near & dear to my heart and he has really awakened a creative side of me during these past five years. i always strive to be a player who can live up to him and do his character the justice that it deserves. even 'beyond' the campaign, i have so much fun writing stuff related to him, making crafts related to him, coming up with art ideas for him and getting comms of him... simply rotating him in my mind. you know how it is. really, i think it's impossible to sum up what reides means to me because he's just... REIDES!!! (also, peep the original token i had for him vs his current one... so cute. just so cute.) i seriously love all of the stuff that everyone else at the table makes for their own characters, too! playing pretend with your friends is fr one of the most healing experiences ever; we all gently feed off each other's creativity in such a lovely way. the passion we all have for our respective characters and the overall setting of the campaign is infectuous, and that passion - coupled with a whole lot of hard (yet fun!!!) work - has made for a story that is nothing short of legendary.

so i just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude and say that i am honored to share a table with these incredibly creative individuals who have saved me in so many ways!!! big shoutouts to my fellow player, @mintflavoredwindows, who plays kilwin, the EXTREMELY blessed (teehee cleric joke) blond lad standing next to reides in that little chibi line-up of our characters (and who also takes the time to write AMAZING!!!!!! session synopses which all of us read time and time again; they are fr a lifesaver not to mention an immortalization of everything we've been through), our dungeon master of legend, @killdragons, who puts a TON of effort into the campaign setting as a whole and was the person who offered me a position in the campaign to begin with, @brewswain who has accompanied us on tons of different arcs with his absolutely incredible array of characters AND @sangre who has guest starred with his lovely miré (AND WHO HAS SUPPORTED THE CAMPAIGN SOOO MUCH IN GENERAL i love talking abt alethustria with you bree)!!! nathan (who plays jorah) and cj (who plays ashara and played slumberjack during the first season of the campaign) aren't on tumblr dot com so i can't give their urls a little shout-out in this post, but i'm still going to restate that being able to share in this adventure with them - both in-character and out-of-character - has been fucking incredible. the adventurers formerly known as the pog champions are eternal. viva la champions valoris. etc etc etc.

i also want to thank everyone who's supported reides / the campaign as a whole on the sidelines, bc you guys are absolutely amazing. and i can't possibly post this without showing off our lovely campaign wiki. bc it's iconic.

thanks everyone :') so excited for future adventures!!!
