Does anyone else read fics that have absolutely zero conflict? And itโs all just nice and sweet?? Because reality is just such a kick in the teeth?? No? Just me?
Like let me have my silly little guys and let them be in love with no trauma whatsoever, okay? Okay, great. Just let them be silly.
Intern: Sir, Iโm sorry that this has taken so long, but I finally have all the research you wanted in regards to the traits the fans find sexy about their romance interests in Baldurโs Gate 3โฆ
Gaming magazine executive: Oh, excellent! Not to worry, I assume it will all line up as expected. The Karlach fans love her bursting friendliness and positivity, her strength, her passion for life and her gorgeous smile, yes?
Intern: Thatโs correct, sir.
Gaming magazine executive: The Halsin fans love that heโs a gentle giant who cares greatly about children, that he likes to whittle adorable ducks as a hobby, and that heโs a consent king who will be a passionate lover for his partner, right?
Intern: All spot-on sir.
Gaming magazine executive: *smirking* This is too easy. Ok, on to Gale! The Gale fans love that heโs got a smoking hot six pack, that he offers wild illusions of astral sex, AND, at the end of the game, that heโs able to redeem himself and become Mystraโs chosen again, OR, become a god and ascend his partner to godhood with him, correct?
Intern: No.
Gaming magazine executive: Now, as forโwhat?
Intern: Thatโs not what the Gale fans find sexy, sir.
Gaming magazine executive: โฆoh. Okay. What do they like, then?
Intern: They, ahโฆthey like that heโฆinfo dumps. They like when he starts talking passionately and goes off on a tangent with his finger in the air.
Gaming magazine executive: โฆno, they donโt. Thatโsโthatโs not sexy.
Intern: They really think it is, sir. Please donโt make me tell you how I know that.
Gaming magazine executive: O-kayโฆbut they like that he has a redemption arc and redeems himself in Mystraโs eyes, right?
Intern: Sir, if I were to repeat the things they want to do to Mystra I would be thrown in jail.
Gaming magazine executive: Iโdo they even know that he says pish-posh in the game? Twice?
Intern: They love that, sir. They wish he said it more.
Gaming magazine executive: Youโre lying.
Intern: Iโm really not, sir.
Gaming magazine executive: Alright, fine, butโฆdo they know about his bad knees? They must hate how he complains about his bad knees? NOBODY would find that sexy.
Intern: *a pained expression on his face, rubbing at the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes* Sir, youโre not going to believe thisโ
Apparently and Unfortunately, there's been a... sudden influx in the reposting/editing/claim-it-as-their-own of my arts inside the TikTok world (๏ผโฒโ`)
I know, I know, "Weeelll you're famous, sooner or later your arts are gonna be reposted, just deal with it bla bla bla." I get it, but still, the fact that a lot of people do it doesn't mean it's right. I've even let loose by letting it go if they reposted with credits by writing my name on the caption, but of course, majority of time, they get reposted without credits, edited, and then claiming it as their own.
I thank all the reports that have come in into my DM's! I promise I've done what I can to make them take it down, but again, most of the time I get ignored in the DM's.
-> SO โจ What would be a huge, wonderful help to me, is don't be afraid to comment on the posts/tiktoks that it's sleepyconfusedpotato's art KINDLY. Don't attack them, just leave a comment that the art is not theirs and the art belongs to sleepyconfusedpotato on IG and Tumblr. That way the people that sees it will at least know that it does not belong to the reposter.
Once again, thank you guys so much for reporting these to me, but my efforts alone won't be enough, and of course they'll try to ignore/block me as I'm the actual artist. A thief won't admit to their steals.
"I feel okay - obviously, a bit tired... I took it step-by-step, getting into a bit of a rhythm, not at the limit of the car and not at the limit of myself yet. But I think with more laps and getting a bit more confident with how everything feels inside, I think I'll be faster tomorrow."
Finally reached the end of my Karlach origin run! She doesnโt get a proposal from Gale (since they have to go to Avernus immediately for her heart) BUT she gets the sweetest declarations of love & loyalty from him ๐ญ Video below:
I love them so much!
And this part in particular:
Ready & willing to go to hell for the โraging infernoโ that he loves ๐ญ ๐ฅน Aaaahh Gaaaalee โค๏ธ
