Kabru/Mithrun manifesto:

As that other tumblr post says: guy who loves to pull strings/guy who has not strings to pull. Also: Guy who has a lot of power and influence but doesn’t care about it/guy who has very little power and influence but cares about it so much. Delightful.

AND THEN Guy who is trying to develop strings. Asking the other guy: hey I think i might be developing a string? Could you pull it for me maybe? Just to see if it really is there (I mean a sexual desire. I mean fuck me.). Kabru is. Of course. EMBARRASSED AND TURNED ON AND PERPLEXED.

Thoughts in Kabru’s head: Why does he want this? Why does he want me? Does he even want me? Or does he see me as a safe person to fool around with because i don’t have power and influence in elven politics? I’M A THREAT I’M A THREAT I’M A THREAT I HAVE INFLUENCE. Is it a race thing. Is it a race thing. Am I being objectified? I’ll fucking kill him. Wait. Wait. I DO have influence is he playing me? To influence the policies of the Golden Kingdom? Is this an ELVEN PLOT OR SCHEME??? HOW DID THEY KNOW I’D BE INTO IT. What’s his angle. What’s his position. uhh. Position. Positions. Angles. Skin. His arms. His eyes. The memory of holding up his weight. The memory of his cold hands. His eyes looking at me. Looking through me. WHY IS HE ASKING ME HE DOESN'T EVEN SEE ME. Does he even know what he’s asking? Does he really have the ability to consent to this kind of thing? Of course he's not scheming he doesn't care enough to scheme. Of course he's not scheming he doesn't care enough about ME. Or IS HE JUST ASKING EVERYONE. Why do i feel weird about that. Wait [moment of harrowing realisation] am i into him? I am so into him. Is it creepy that I’m into him? Is it creepy that he’s into me? Are his ears as sensitive as other elves ears or -

Thoughts in Mithrun’s head: [30 years of dial up tone] ... ... ... 🍆✔

Holds up my hands. I JUST THINK MITHRUN REDISCOVERS DESIRE AND GETS ADDICTED TO KABRU’S COCK and also actually falls in love with him. All without changing his dead-eyed expression. I also think its funny that Kabru is a twink by human standards and incredibly butch by elven standards. I think Mithrun genuinely appreciates Kabru in a way he hasn’t appreciated anyone in a long long time. I think Kabru feels a little insane about that.

I think Kabru’s mother would be SO. MAD.

Just saw an article about the "posture epidemic."

What.

We are still in the middle of a pandemic. Covid isn't over. But, you know, posture...

locked tomb for ask game!

For the a-spec headcanons ask game.

CAMILLA HECT my love. My best girl. Camilla is aroace and is watching everyone else like [Palamedes mooning over a girl] [Gideon mooning over the same girl] [Gideon and Harrow having What Ever is going on between them] and is just like. There is so much nonsense going on here.

And then the murders start so like. You Know.

And THEN she’s hanging out with Coronabeth and Judith and there’s no escape.

But god I love Camilla so much. I’m still only a few chapters into Nona the Ninth so no spoilers about that but Pal refusing to use Camilla’s body to write bad erotica? I rest my case.

Unrelatedly the line from GtN where Gideon watches and thinks “Camilla fought like a grease fire” lives in my mind rent-free.

@brekkie-e

YES!!!

it'd definitely up the ante and make the quests seem -- bigger, grander. it always felt strange that gortash's coronation, this culmination of his plan to put himself into a position of power, happens in... a gatehouse on a bridge? seems too small-scale and mundane for a man with such big, elaborate ambitions.

it'd make cazador's section feel meatier, too; his mansion feels pretty itty-bitty for as much as it was played up. (the above-ground sections, anyway.) building on cazador's presence in baldurian high society, his interest in political goings-on... tying into that note you can find where he muses abt how worried he ought to be about gortash, seeing how frequently that name is cropping up... maybe you Think cazador is there but he keeps staying one step ahead of you, and astarion is both eager to chase after him and confront him but simultaneously terrified that this is happening -- and then for all of that inner turmoil, cazador probably wouldn't even deign to deal with you, or with astarion, directly; he'd make some threat abt seeing you soon anyway, or set some spawn after you without you ever actually Seeing Him

and wyll!!! god, wyll. especially if you romance him, you'd get to see the difference in how he danced with you at camp vs. how he dances in front of everyone else -- stiff and uncomfortable and not sure what to do with himself. could have a chance to say 'hey, don't worry about them, you're better than all of them' and put him at ease. and then outdance every asshole patriar there.

and dancing in general!

!!!!!!

#bonus points if one section had mirrors so you could have that van helsing ballroom scene with astarion #OR if that's what let you see that there's some other spawn present and that's what tips you off to cazador's presence #maybe you could also try to sway public opinion on gortash too #use the letters from/to him that you find in act two #aughhhhhh i. kind of do want to write this now but I don't know that i could do it justice #its just so COOL tho!!!! #bg3 blogging #bg3 spoilers #obliquely

now thinking about the polysemy of "belonging"

#ofmd s2 spoilers #obliquely #izzy hands

[eriyu]

the factoid of Solus being a fan of theater (and the arts more broadly) is so important to me. there is so much going on there.

he has that in common with Kuja (my other favorite ff villain)

he and Ehryu would totally both love opera and it's weird as hell to imagine them being able to bond over it

like bro..... for it to be important to him, it had to make him Feel. lowly sundered beings that aren't even "truly alive" being able to make him Feel Deeply with their art. do you think he acknowledged that to himself.

I should've been allowed to adopt the Shigaraki brothers as children. I would've given them all the love and kisses they want.

You could have kissed one of them all you want, I think the other one would have bitten your nose off at least

#but at this point i mean #yeah why not #still adopt them #go for it #maybe give them different reading material #i wanna know what happens if their only literature was like. there's a monster at the end of this book. instead of Captain Hero #pocket talks to people #anon #bnha manga leaks #obliquely

It has finally occurred to me that the ‘some replies are hidden or blocked’ message means someone has me blocked, and while I know who it is and why for *one* fandom, I want to know what I did that was blockworthy in the TLT fandom, mostly because I think it’s funny and love drama.
