#I was sooooo patient trying to capture this #even then it was dumb fucking luck #this one defo gets its own post #addition fun facts abt this night: #I left my driver's side car window down the ENTIRE storm and did not notice. nothing damaged but I have a stinky seat :( #however a stinky seat is the small humbling moment at the end of a phenomenal experience enjoying the storm from my small cave-like patio #so I sat outside enjoying the rain. me n my bong. and also a mogwai album. eyes closed. just sounds and my own deep breathing - peaceful #lighting would streak the sky and I could see the bolts through my closed eyelids - they were bright and crisp; defined. even if obscured #everything just snapped into place. the lightning and the music had moments of perceived synchronization - probably pareidolia #waves of euphoria radiating out from the base of my skull. full goosebumps. momentous feeling - I must've been manic #when I opened up my eyes the world had gone from being heavy and dark to just. red. so red. like a wildfire on the entire western horizon. #my driveway doesn't come with a glamorous view either. it was just that the entire western hemisphere was flame-red fading into eigengrau #i have those photos too lmao - will be sharing soon #my art #aesthetic #art #artwork #webcore #glitchcore #internetcore #photography #original photography #nature photography #lightning #storm #rain aesthetic #stormy aesthetic #dark aesthetic #surreal aesthetic #surrealcore

Considering the cast has grand ideas like "all of us are down to become immortal, tbh Jaheira", "I am at risk of dying from being burned alive from the inside", and "I'd like to be a god", you don't necessarily need to fuck around with ancient unstable magics for that (although in the later case, it does take a lot more time and work and risk of death).

There are generally easier ways to gain these things (except for apotheosis), but in 5e you can still solve these problems with insane amounts of XP: you need to reach level 20, when the ability score caps are raised from the mortal limits of 20 to 30, and instead of levelling up "epic boons" are put on the table (which is basically the equivalent of epic levels).

"[Boons are] extraordinary and represent the gradual transformation of a character into something resembling a demigod."

(This is the point where you're warming up towards getting ready to pick fights with the gods*; find yourself a chunk of divine essence and welcome to the start of the divine ladder, mx new quasi-deity... also it may start to alter your physical appearance as you become something more than human[oid])

Depending on DM fiat, you can get these due to plot events whenever the DM feels like awarding you one, or you gain one every 30,000xp acquired (the equivalent of levelling up). I believe beating a Solar to death will net you one, slaying an ancient red or gold dragon will net you two...

The growth in power allows various things ranging from mundane stuff like increasing your ability scores (so stuff like an almost perfect memory, the ability to process information at superhuman speed, being literally the most interesting person in the world, superhuman reflexes, or bench pressing an elephant would be within your reach) or becoming eternally healthy (immune to poison and disease of any kind)...

...over to more esoteric stuff like having permanent truesight, and hopping between the planes of reality at will, or ageless and irrevocable immortality, or turning invisible at will whenever you stand in darkness, or hacking magic. Also full immunity to specific forms of damage: Karlach's engine can't kill her if she's immune to fire. There is no boon on paper for immunity to radiant damage such as may be inflicted by the sun, but it's easy to imagine one existing.

The level cap in-game is 12, but I know the actual XP total is higher. I think I've seen people have it at least up to 15 with mods to remove the cap, but I'm not sure. Either way, I think the party is one decent campaign away from level 20. (And if we need epic level threats, Mephistopheles is clearly up to something, and it's bugging me; I think we should have a party reunion. In Mephistar. With silver weapons.)

#*If you try to pick a fist fight with Shar or Mystra at level 20 you will lose though: Don't pick fights with Greater Deities #Bhaal... Bhaal might be punchable? #My Durge is going to start fist fighting legendary dragons and storming Mt Celestia on his days off. The brainwashing has sunk in too deep #We do not settle for mortality. We do not cope with the blood on our hands that we had no say in. We don't cope with daddy throwing us asid #We tear divinity from the hells and heavens themselves or we die trying. #They don't need full godhood but they're not surviving a normal mortal life #Gale might join them during one of his bad moments. #lore stuff #?

i miss the snow. i miss laying in the snow and listening to the snowflakes softly hit the ground. i miss when the sun is just coming up and watching the snow fall in the light of the street lamps. i miss when it’s too cold to go outside and the whole world feels quiet

#*fizzyspeaks #i grew up moving constantly between nyc and upstate. there’s a difference between that big city snow and small city snow #i moved to fl when i was 15. i haven’t seen the snow in almost a decade #i miss it #i miss that quiet. it feels like taking a deep breath #from what i know winters aren’t the same anymore. the world is too hot. i’ll never see those winters from when i was a kid #i remember we were driving to nj and getting caught in a snow storm #i never loved a winter more than the winter we were stranded in a motel 8

also was revisiting a little bmc bway interview ft. william last night & him saying his favorite part of the show was probably doing the agtikbi reprise scene on the couch at the party & mentioning the Nonverbal aspect of jeremy & christine's interacting / communicating there & a way of exploring/depicting Love & Affection in a way you don't always see everywhere and like aaaarghhhhh so true good lord that specific scene. and Again the bway obcr version Existing and being like that, it's just like. winded exhale yeah obsessed 5ever thank you all

#sooo true so true.... #bmc #love putting it right in like the eye of the storm #both of them basically just having had these breakups & with jeremy that means mitb scene And [all of that A Time he had prior] #also now reflecting on how you know obviously he was Not ready to hear it w/michael & ofc he was affected by what all Just happened #but it's also like probably the worst time to be very pushy even with the best intentions & thinking it's Urgent & right abt all that lmao #but jeremy's Just had like whoops autonomy revoked ten ways to sunday from two different squip figures like #even [being correct! having jeremy's wellbeing in mind!] behind trying to yank him into some outcome; he's gonna be like Not Again #& ofc the sunk cost re: his squip & he has not had time to catch his breath like literally; not in a place to Confront Shit #if even his missed bestie is; from his perspective here; not at all comforting & not giving him what he feels is a real option.... #& anyways ofc we can sympathize / understand them both b/c that's what the show is giving at all moments re all characters #all this to say like jeremy & christine like having such a time being very at sea very uncomfortable but then having This moment #and the refreshment & relief finally of having this successful genuine connection & relative security being with this person rn #love & affection for sure....just say what's on your mind....lord first of all that they improvise those Noises every night. i'm gonna cry #second of all imagining not knowing how that scene goes & the pause & jeremy like [augh] & then christine just Yes Anding. aaaugh #head in hands haven't even relistened for a moment despite all this reflection. the downtempo quiet reprise waaah #it's Pretty killer to sit & chat with you....it's pretty killer for me too....sooo true Not getting this everywhere always & Waaugh ;;m;; #and wasn't even thinking of it as a joke like [and talking about devote specific focus on the Nonverbal aspect of such a scene: im putting #my hands on the shoulders of that & keep drawing a deep breath to start talking abt it but instead going Whew & making Expressions] #i.e. the significance of my nonverbal response as per conveying emotions & thoughts lmao. and just....You Know

she says my heart is yours, from the caspian shores.

#in astana there is haunting symmetry. in the summer there are flowers breathing fresh air and fumes. in the winter ice covers the park #sole-deep so you let the LCD screen advertisements warm your heart. the serpent offers her a gold apple from a brass tree. #she bites the serpent. in london a biochemistry graduate becomes obsessed and beautiful. she designs gene sequencing devices. #she says the rubber components smell like cinnamon. #in tashkent the trees shine under the sun and the sky is vast. by the blue pond and the tall marble spires you see the fractal patterns #on the ceiling in her eyes. she feels like a strobe light firing onto your eyelids. she takes revenge. you can hear the water droplets fall #from into the fountain. she tells you about cre-lox knockout and how you should head into the city cafe and you cant #stop staring into her eyes and you can't listen very well. when she laughs all your hearts almost become an ocean. #in bishkek you suffer death by a thousand sunsets. your world is white and lilac and mountainous. you learn about the joy of #taking without giving. backstage of the opera theatre you kiss him again and again and again until briefly you are the apex. #in tehran the sun is almost as fervent as their full-up lungs (it takes up the span of your window. crisp edges through a particulate storm #they spend an hour making a 10-minute ride to chamran and the wheels are melting. the two girls in the car spend that time wisely. #the air is filled with smog so she breathes her instead. you like how she looks at you like she'll rip you apart. #here they sold the mountaintops. the girls take a brother'a army-issued rifle to the forest with them. #she says she could start a war. she says my heart is yours، from the caspian shores.

ok i’m glad i got out for san fermin bc i am so powered up rn. they played “emily” second and i was like “oh cool well i will be satisfied with whatever else they do now” and then they played every other song i wanted to hear. claire wellin has an insane stage presence—a charismatic black hole sucking everything in the room in. and um the rest of my thoughts on that subject are not fit to print. also saxophonists continue to slay the most. i have never heard someone making a bari scream like that and i thought it had to be on the production end but nope

#text tag #sorry now i’m going to bitch. i swear this state is trying to test me to see if sometime in the next 2 months i am gonna completely snap on #someone. if you see me alone in public and you think my vibes are peculiar but i am not bothering anyone you can simply keep it moving #this guy (who was with someone) very kindly asked if he was blocking my view and i was like no you’re good and he was like feel free to tell #me if i ever am! and i was like thanks! and then he proceeded to like nonverbally check on me and herd me around like a sheepdog for the #rest of the evening. omfg #the amount of both street harassment and people treating me like i’m 12 is 500% more here than in nyc and i can’t take itttttttt #anyway. deep breaths. there was some incredibly beautiful lightning from the storm rollling through on the drive back

like logically i know wildfires happen anyway like theyre a natural thing but isnt there something apocalyptic about wildfires becoming SO common and SO destructive to where the past few years ive regularly experienced wildfire smoke here on long island, a place that doesnt naturally experience many wildfires, and the only reason we’re being hit with this smoke is because it has traveled hundreds of miles from across the country. And every year theres record heat waves and people dying. And every year theres record strong storms and hurricanes. And every year tornadoes are suddenly becoming more common outside tornado alley. just what is going on anymore man i just feel this vague sense of dread and doom all the time

#seeing the orange sun rn its like #its really not too bad here i mean i wasnt outside for long #but otherwise its just making the sky look really fucking weird #and im like how are you ppl shopping at michaels like its an average day. doesnt this weird ass sun evoke the same bone deep dread that #it does in me as well. like how are you going about your life like normal right now #brot posts #all i can say is as a kid i never experienced any sort of residual wildfire smoke #i never heard of a tornado on long island - the idea was laughable #and now every year for the past 5 years or so theres just constant fucking wildfire smoke in the air for a few weeks in the summer #normally from california! so now that its from canada its like. well. #ans every year for the past 5 years we’ve had at least one storm that produces tornadoes ! like actual tornadoes ! #no not the huge destructive kind but like theyre still tornadoes !!! #we get like at least 3 per year now its fucking nuts #if not more !!!

good luck w the testing and a happy early new year!!

thank you it's already happened when this was sent but we all did get one free point for the listening section bc the audio fucked up and we didn't get to hear the part with the last question's answer. but I will now think this is luck borrowed from the future when this ask was sent

#bakuspeech #ask #I tweeted a storm inbetween the written competencies (morning) and the speaking test (afternoon) lmao #but its on my wretched personal acc so it's for me. it's just for me #I dressed. and this is not me being unkind to myself. like a mister bean character to that test. like I got a woolen suit jacket on #with the dress shoes of mismatched laces. AND Ive been bald recently #honest to gods can Not tell how well I did in the written tests. like I finished all of them with at least ten minutes to spare #but it's because they kept putting a giant timer on the projector screen and it scared me so bad. delf trauma #the content of the test itself I straight up. dont know if its any good #the thing with me. that u can probably tell by idk looking at me and hearing me talk and stuff. is that I speak english but I am #VERY bad at tests #which makes any formalized english testing for me extremely fucking funny #and like it's supposed to be in the same structure as an ielts set of questions and apparently that means #they kept asking me to confirm or deny that the author of the text agrees with the statements they got in the questions #and I was sitting there like okay you made me read about weird phrenology shit and then you ask me this?? like are we asking #textual or contextual or. how deep into the rhetorics are we talking here. cause two of these three authors are certified weirdos #(yes the reading segment had three texts. one was about physiognomy and how there was definitely a grain of truth in there #one was about tea - this is the inconspicuous one - and the last one was about the potentials of toxinology #with a general vibe of pseudomedicine zeal to its writing. it's probs from a family magazine or something) #so straight up yeah I can defend my quiz answers to a judge but that does Not mean it's gonna be the one on the answer sheet yknow #kinda the same with the writing segment. where like they gave me an extremely easy to expand on subject and then a piece of paper #the length of a receipt. and that just. I could NOT parse the expectation of that setup #like I saw that and was like. so do you want me to do it badly? or do it so excellently I deliver all I think in like 100 words or less? #cause I'm capable of one of those things and the distinction is important here #and like. yes I know it's a language aptitude test. they're looking to know if I speak english #and I Have done something like this before multiple times just with a different language. but that was. idk I have never had a ladder here #I know I speak the language. YOU can probably tell I speak the language. would this test's result reflect that? I don't know! #it's a baffling experience. I'm still thinking about it the day after. tldr it's really not about the english for me it's about the testing #it's so. it's reflected so clear in the listening test where I missed an entire question (other than the one they gave us for free) bc #my brain just noped out of my body for three seconds and when I yanked it back the tape's already moved on

Cursed plot twist of the century where instead of the next love interest being Felicia they bring in Janine Godbe

#obscure enough for casual fans to act like it’s a deep cut they’re exclusively privy too #but from a popular enough storyline that it’s a buzzword #and just enough disrespect to Ben Reilly #the perfect shitty storm #this isn’t even me making up a guy to be mad at I legitimately think this would be the funniest possible route they could go

can i be borderline controversial and say that i do think there's a correlation between the love and adoration for the other kings, Leviathan's brutal honesty about grey-morality and involvement in war when you know him as Leviathan, and his lack of worshipers here under that name. the controversial part being that the other kings seem way more into propaganda flourishing and part of why i say that is because ive known both of them and they fucking do that oops hashtag UPG (PVG) spilled outta my pockets there

ie its always people who work for the other kings i see so caught up in how loving and pure the kings and ''demons'' are, and you COULD say that's just because Lev doesn't have many worshipers under that name but I think its more so because when you know "Leviathan" uhhhhh. like you could say lack of lev worshipers = lack of lev propaganda but i think its more so lev isnt going to pretend to be a beautiful siren man in a suit who tells you he loves you so so much even tho he just met you two seconds ago

#there's many factors IMO why we dont see many Leviathan worshipers so much as Shaivites and (insert other names here) #one of which is this but another big factor is. he. doesnt like Chrxstianity in the way that his brothers do lmfao he has other #ways of worshiping him and other labels that arent ''demon'' or occult and reverse-cxtholic aesthetics including latin and #priesthood and whatnot. i love that shit bc travelling to another country to grow up from age 10 and being exposed to the beauty #of cxtholic architecture and worship and aesthetics was cool af it was really like. i love this expression of devotion i love all human #devotion and i love gold and i love SUFFERING lmfao so. im always like oooo aesthetics and hes like. ah. hmm. no thanks #which is NOT to say thats all demonolatry is and IS to say he much prefers in my experience other ways of worshiping him #milk honey and ghee for one fucking example lmfao. flowers thrown into the ocean. blessing horses. traversing the wilderness. storm #chasing. I GUESS THERES A REASON HIS BIG NAMES are Shiva(/Rudra)/Poseidon/Tengri/etc and not Leviathan #as he was saying to me he's... he's not a god found in churches hes overhead at all times at least partially. hes in our dna. hes in the #trees surrounding our towns hes the deer and the wolves and the wild playfulness vs efficient machinery of horses. the rivers and the ocean #the clouds. mathematics. actual machines. i think trying to tie him into like... latin and chrxstian inspired rites and the word ''demon''. #ive said it before. If you catch him in a certain mood he does actually enjoy roleplaying the ''demon'' persona and the antithesis and #undoing of chrxstianity but. hes. not what he is not. listen he LOVES spooking people and if youre spooked by demons... he loves being #intimidating if you want a big tough king that also understands your deep and dark sides and who is intelligent and gentle but Dark #yeah im sure he'll be Leviathan for you but its like. idk. OH THIS IS. THIS IS THE SECOND REASON. THE POST IS ABOUT THE FIRST #THAT I LISTED LMFAOOOOOO #sorry im so in love w him atm let me talk about him please #ramblings //
