I'm rewatching Embarrassing Phases and honestly gotta say,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Frankenstein's monster was a more fitting choice for Logan.
In the original novel, Victor Frankenstein isn't even a doctor. He's a college dropout, who very stupidly decided to play god and try to create life. He never took notes about his experiment, or did any amount of research, the dude literally went graverobbing and decided to create a human being in his college dorm.
And then when the creature turned out to be a little inhuman and scary looking, he immediately abandoned the creature, and decided to mope and moan about the wretched life that he himself had created. He did nothing to stop the creature or protect people from it.
In fact, when he realized that his experiment didn't turn out quite as good as he had hoped, literally the first thing he did was to go and take a nap and let the creature make its way out of the house and cause chaos.
Not to mention, when the creature asked him to create a female creature so it could have some company, instead of simply not giving his new creation reproductive organs, Victor decides to throw a fit at the very last moment because he was scared that the two creatures would reproduce and make monster babies.
This absolutely does not sound like a character Logan would want to dress up as. If he actually met someone like Victor Frankenstein in real life, he would not hesitate to deck them in the jaw full force.
Meanwhile, Frankenstein's monster proved to be not only physically strong but also very intelligent. He quickly learned how to speak, light fire and try to support himself. He learned how to speak French from some books he had found while traveling, and he tried his best to understand and help people. He was curious about the world he was brought into, and was interested in learning more about it. He even tried to reason with his creator, asking him to understand him, only turning "evil" when he truly felt neglected.
This actually has a lot of similarities to Logan who is constantly neglected by Thomas and the other sides. Like the creature, Logan's efforts are ignored and his feelings invalidated. And like the creature, he lashes out when he is repeatedly shut down or overlooked.
While we're on the topic, I do wish Logan had dressed up as the book version of the creature, instead of the pop culture version. In the book, the creature was actually extremely good looking, it was over 6ft and had long luscious hair. Frankenstein had made sure to give it the best features because he wanted to create a perfect human being.
The only problem was that the creature looked a little off, a little uncanny; its skin was pale and yellow (obviously, because it was made from corpses), and it's eyes were also a somewhat unsettling shade of yellow. This is the only reason it is described as ugly and horrendous, mostly by Victor himself.
The creature was not green with bolts on its neck and weird hair. And like I mentioned earlier, it could speak quite eloquently, unlike the pop culture Frankenstein which only communicated in creepy groans.

I have been re-binging the Sanders Sides series lately and I cannot stress enough how absolutely incredible it is; it genuinely is astounding how it manages to blend entertaining story with very real topics about mental health and self-love, and is all portrayed perfectly by one person doing a huge majority of the acting

as an anti billy hargrove
i under no circumstances believe that the harringrove tag from ao3 should be removed, or that certain ships should be enforced against being written.
you can believe strongly in your morals that something should have never existed. i could even agree with you completely. but censoring things is not the answer.
this is an important post because i saw that someone was saying the incest tag should be removed from ao3 because it's unsafe to children. while yes, i can attest that i don't support incest fics, all removing the tags will do will make it harder for readers to filter it out.
those people wont stop writing what you don't want to read. those people won't stop writing you believe no one should write it. it will exist regardless, and trying to censor it will only make it harder to block.
you are going to find mistagged fics regardless but it will be harder to block a tag that doesnt exist.
censorship of any kind, whether in a small and seemingly irrelavent issue like fanfiction or actual literary books that have huge negative affects are not the answer because all it does is prevent you from 1. curating your own experience (in the fanfic world) and 2. educating people on why something is horrible and wrong in the real world. removing the media isn't stopping the spread of negativity, because that will happen anyway. instead, it's stopping the people who found it from being able to educate themself on why it is negative. stopping education is never, ever the answer.

I was bored so here’s Janus, Virgil, and Logan as how I’d imagine they’re be in the RSWR world!! Janus is a half changling, he’s a warlock. Virgil is a drider (half dark elf, half spider) and a barbarian. And Logan is a teifling artificer.

snarky asshole meets snarky asshole,, hijinks ensue..
Tumblr media
don't forget the angsty shared history and talking about the other any chance they get. no proper communication about their feelings allowed of course,, not on this page
it's the bitter exes bitter how things ended up and refusing to admit any wrongdoings relating to it and deep underlying insecurity of the other truly knowing them (and the fear of them using it against them) whilst simultaneously missing that sentiment and connection for me.

So I just found out Strong is likely Guy McDonough?!
like omg holy shit the timeline is right there and it makes sense from what we can see of Strong
The Insititute gets their ‘test subjects’ via abduction. Not all the people they took are replaced with synths but the replaced people were definitely test subjects - best way to get rid of them/no body.
McDonough was most likely swapped before he started campaigning to be mayor. So sometime during or shortly before 2282.
The Institutes FEV program was still running during the time McDonough got swapped. Brian Virgil got the program shut down when he escaped in 2287, after taking over the year before.
But why does this mean Strong is Guy? Like how can one mutant be traced to one man. Because of what we know about Strong.
MacBeth is ultimately a story about political power and how it destroys people and their families (!!!)
Some of the things Strong says link to him being an educated person before he changed (Diamond City has free schooling) - Like Strong is dumb but he KNOWS things okay, and he dislikes chems and alcohol??
When you take Strong to a settlement and leave him there, he hangs out by the chemisty bench. Why? BECAUSE HANCOCK AND CHEMS
He (usually) likes when you ask for more money when doing quests, but dislikes if you ask Hancock for more money
Strong likely has no idea who he was, he doesn’t care, he is a supermutant and despises the idea of being changed back human (voice lines when you take him with you to see Virgil) - but not knowing why you are doing something doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason for it, the SUBCONCIOUS mind is still at play! Holy shit man, this whole time you were travelling with both McDonough brothers
This whole time, after you take down the Institute and find out Mayor McDonough is a replacement and what that means to Hancock...
This whole time, you had him there hidden in plain sight...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Janus stood alone in their kitchen, drinking their cup of coffee while staring off into the distance. Remus appeared in front of them, looking around.
”Oh, you’re back,” Janus said, putting its coffee mug on the counter.
”Yeah…” Remus said, refusing to make eye contact with Janus.
”What do you have?” Janus asked, noticing the rose in Remus’s hand.
”A fucking nuclear missle. What does it look like, dumbass?” Remus said sarcastically.
“I’m sorry about yesterday, okay?! Is that what you wanted to hear?!” Janus yelled.
”Yes,” Remus said, looking off into the distance.
”Okay, well I have afternoon duty, today. I’m off duty for the morning,” Janus said, pouring more coffee into its mug.
”Hm…” Remus thought. Janus looked over to them.
”So, what do you want to do?” Janus asked.
”Well, there isn’t really anything to do… I was just thinking I would just go fuck around in one of those abandoned places,” Remus said, “You know, a good old classic haunt.”
”What place were you thinking about?” Janus asked, intrigued.
”Well, there’s an old church near the graveyard, but the old school next to that bakery might also be good,” Remus suggested.
”Eh… Those places get boring after a while…” Janus replied.
”Alright, then. You don’t need to join. I’ll just go by myself,” Remus said.
”Alright. Be back by noon,” Janus said, waving Remus off. Remus faded out of view, reappearing in front of the old church. They walked inside, immediately jumping off the ground and hanging upside down on the chandelier. The chandelier rocked back and forth, Remus swaying with it. They fell back down on the floor, walking up the aisle of pews to the front of the church. Visions flashed in their eye as they saw a casket being rolled up the aisle. People sat in the pews, all being dressed in black. Remus looked around, seeing their father and sibling in one of the front pews. Remus stumbled back, lifting the casket lid up to see themself in it. They backed up as the people in the pews stared directly at them. The people in the pews all stood up, walking over to Remus and surrounding them. The sounds of whispers erupted from everyone as they surrounded Remus. Remus couldn’t make out any of the words but they heard one word loud and clear. One word they were terrified of.
”Anti-christ,” the figure of Roman said, pointing at Remus. Remus started to panic. They pushed through the crowd, running to the doors of the church. They banged on the doors, desperately trying to get them open as they were surrounded again. Fire started to build up as they banged on the doors. They turned around, finding their father and sibling right behind them. They clung onto their father’s clothes, falling to their knees.
”PA, HELP ME, PLEASE! I’M NOT THE ANTICHRIST! I DON’T WANT TO BE! PLEASE!” Remus pleaded with their father, their father just standing there with a vacant expression. Remus sobbed as the flames engulfed them, scared and alone.
“Oi! Remus,” Janus said. Remus startled awake, finding themself back in the graveyard. They looked over to Janus.
”Oh, hey there, Jan,” Remus said, putting the rose they had in their hands down.
”Are you good? It’s 10:03, and you were still asleep when I got here,” Janus asked.
”I was?” Remus replied.
”Yeah…?” Janus said.
”Must have overslept by accident. Anyways, what are we doing, today?” Remus asked.
”Well, I already got through a bunch of my tasks before coming here. I just have 2 more spirits to reap, and I also have to have a meeting with my manager so that should be fun…” Janus replied.
”Ugh, do we really have to meet with that guy? He’s a bastard,” Remus said.
”I know you don’t like him, but I don’t really have a choice,” Janus said.
”Then, let’s get that out of the way first. Save the better thing for last,” Remus suggested.
”Alright, then. Also… I’m sorry about last night… I wasn’t thinking and I should have worded what I was saying better…” Janus said.
”Don’t sweat it, man. It’s fine. Come on, let’s go,” Remus said, fading out of sight. Janus followed suit, the two reappearing in an office-like room. A man sat at a desk. His face was darkened with only his mouth visible. He wore an outfit reminiscent of a stereotypical grim reaper with the hooded robe and everything.
”Oh, hello, Janus! And… you…” the manager said, Remus flipping him off.
”You wanted to meet with me, sir?” Janus asked.
”Yes, yes. Sit, I’ll make you something to drink. Tea or coffee?” the manager said, standing up.
”Just black coffee, please,” Janus said, talking a seat. Remus hovered in the corner, leaning back against the wall and grabbing a notepad and pencil from a nearby table.
”So… why did you call me here?” Janus asked.
”Oh, it’s nothing serious! You’re just a little bit behind on your quota for spirits this week and I was wondering what was going on,” the manager said, handing Janus a mug of coffee.
”Shit, I’m sorry, I thought I was ahead on quota this month…” Janus replied.
”It’s fine, it’s no big deal. I’ll just need you to pick up the pace a little. Maybe even take a few nights of work,” the manager said.
”How much am I behind by?” Janus asked.
”Just 10. It’s no big deal. You could probably get it done in a night if you take the whole night,” the manager replied.
”Okay, then I’ll do that,” Janus said, standing up as it finished their coffee, “Have a good day.”
”You too,” the manager said. Janus shook the manager’s hand, turning to Remus.
”Come on, let’s go,” Janus said. Remus ripped the page they had been drawing on out of the notepad, putting the notepad back down on the table. The two faded out of view together, Janus waving goodbye to the manager.
The two reappeared in a room together, Janus walking over to the two bodies that laid together on the ground. It took out its scythe, swiping at the bodies. The two spirits rose up, stumbling back a little before regaining their balance.
”Ugh, what happened…” the one spirit asked.
”You died,” Janus said, pulling up a screen and swiping through it.
”Fuck, we did?” the other spirit asked.
”Yup…” Janus said, pulling up a profile, “Your name is Virgil Blackheart, correct?”
”Yes,” Virgil responded. Janus printed out a little slip, handing it to Virgil.
”You do have one unfinished task before you can ascend, so I would get to it as quickly as possible. And you are Logan Croftberry, correct?” Janus said.
”Yes,” Logan replied. Janus printed out another slip, handing that one to Logan.
”You also have an unfinished task, so I’ll let you get to it. If you need any help, my name is on that slip. Just call it and I’ll be on my way to assist you when I can,” Janus said, putting the screen away.
”Okay…” Virgil said.
”Any questions?” Janus asked.
”Who’s that?” Logan asked, pointing towards Remus who floated behind Janus.
”That’s no one. Just ignore them,” Janus said, pushing Remus away.
”Rude! I have feelings too!” Remus said, dramatically falling back.
”So, who are you?” Logan asked.
”Remus Sanders-Kingstone! Nice to meet you!” Remus said, holding their hand out.
”Logan Croftberry, please to make your acquaintance as well!” Logan said, shaking Remus’s hand.
”Alright, we better get going now,” Janus said, pulling Remus away, “Any important information about afterlife living including rules and stuff can be found on that slip. If you ever need me for whatever reason, call me. Good luck with your ascending,” Janus said, fading out of view while waving. The two reappeared in Janus’s apartment, Remus floating over to the couch.
”Alright, I’m going to go catch up on my quota,” Janus said, grabbing a new scythe.
”Ooo! Can I come?” Remus asked.
”No. You are going to stay here and not get in my way, so I can do my job and not be distracted,” Janus replied.
”Aww, you’re no fun,” Remus responded.
”That doesn’t matter. I need this job,” Janus said.
”Whatever,” Remus said. Janus went into his room, putting his hat away and grabbing a cloak. He put the cloak on, pulling the hood up over his head. Remus looked to Janus, confused.
”What’s with the stereotypical reaper outfit?” Remus asked.
”The night time reapers have a strict uniform to follow. I need to put this on so they know I’m working,” Janus said.
”Alright, then. You go have fun without me,” Remus said, putting a hand to his head and falling back dramatically.
”Don’t be dramatic. I’ll be back in a few hours, don’t go anywhere,” Janus said, fading out of view. Remus looked around the apartment, checking to make sure Janus was gone before fading out of view as well.
Remus reappeared in a living room, finding it empty. They walked around a little, finding someone in the kitchen. They peaked in the kitchen to find their father cleaning the dishes. Music played over a little speaker, playing Remus’s favorite song. They sat on the kitchen counter, watching as Thomas cleaned the dishes.
”I love this song,” Remus said, kicking their feet against the cabinets below. Thomas continued to wash the dishes, oblivious to the fact that someone was there. Roman entered the room, his hair wet and messy from the shower. Thomas looked over to Roman, smiling. He walked over, hugging Roman. Roman hugged back.
”Hey, buddy. Ready for movie night?” Thomas asked, putting a hand on Roman’s shoulder.
”Yeah, I guess…” Roman replied.
”Awesome! Just let me finish these last few dishes and I’ll be out,” Thomas said. Roman nodded, exiting the kitchen and going to the living room. Remus followed, sitting on an empty chair. Roman sat on the couch, turning on his phone and scrolling through photos. Thomas came out of the kitchen.
”I’ll be right back, I just need to put this towel away,” Thomas said. Roman nodded again, Thomas going upstairs and putting the towel into a laundry basket. Thomas put the laundry basket on top of the dryer, going back downstairs and sitting on the couch. He turned on the TV, going to Netflix and clicking through the movies.
”So, what do you want to watch, tonight?” Thomas asked.
”Mulan,” Roman replied. Thomas smiled, turning the movie on and putting the remote down on the table in front of him. Roman leaned his head on Thomas’s shoulder, curling up in a blanket. Thomas put his arms around Roman, holding him close as the movie played. Remus sat on the edge of their seat, enticed by the movie. Roman looked over towards the chair where Remus sat, tears coming to her eyes.
”That was their favorite chair for movie night…” Roman said. Thomas frowned, looking over to Roman. He wiped the tears from Roman’s eyes.
”Buddy…” Thomas said, “You know it’s not your fault.”
”It is though… If I hadn’t said all that horrible stuff to them…” Roman said, starting to cry. Thomas pulled Roman closer, comforting him as she cried. Remus perked up, looking over to the other two. Remus frowned, getting up and walking over to the two. Remus reached their hand out to Roman, about to touch her before remembering what Janus had said yesterday. They pulled their hand back sadly, walking back over to their chair and sitting back down. They watched the movie as Thomas and Roman sat on the couch together. Halfway through the movie, the lights in the house started to flicker as a storm started up. Thomas stood up, locking the door and closing the windows as Roman sat on the couch.
”Welp… So much for a calm night,” Thomas said, coming back to the couch. He grabbed a blanket that was on the arm of the couch, bundling up in the blanket and sitting back down next to Roman. He pulled Roman closer to him, Roman’s eyes darting around anxiously.
”I hate when it storms,” Roman said.
”I know, buddy. I know. It’s okay,” Thomas said. Roman leaned in closer to Thomas, closing his eyes as Thomas held him. Remus got up from their chair, looking at the two. They smiled softly.
”I love you two…” Remus said, to no reply. They faded from view as Roman and Thomas fell asleep on the couch. Remus reappeared in the apartment, laying down on the couch and falling asleep as well.

1, 3, 7, and 11 for Virgil !!! 💕
1. What circumstances led to your Dark Urge becoming their Class/Subclass?
Virgil is a Revenge Oath Paladin, and I've talked about this before a little, but my silly headcannon is that Virgil woke up naked in the pod on the Nautiloid, picked up the first armour he saw, and then everyone assumed he was a Paladin. My slightly more serious version is that he swore revenge on whoever carved him up and put a worm in his brain and that Bhaal is just giving him powers so he can watch his kids fight (a favorite pastime of his).
3. What would your Dark Urge consider to be their greatest skill? Is this accurate?
I think that especially Pre-Tadpole, Virgil prided himself on his cold-bloodedness and self-control, on his ability to "Not Feel". But in reality, he just has no emotional awareness and has never been in an environment where he was allowed to want or feel. But he does feel, it's what got him dethroned and disgraced. His feelings for Enver were absolutely his downfall.
Post-Tadpole, he immediately falls into his old habits of repressing everything, but things are different this time, and he has a whole group of people who not only encourage him to feel but are emotionally vulnerable themselves, with time. I think it takes Virgil quite a while to not see that as a weakness.
7. Did your Dark Urge recall any childhood memories? If yes, how do they feel about the revelations? If no, was it by choice or lack of options?
I think Virgil remembered killing his family, and I think that one keeps him up at night, most definitely. I also live in the headcannon camp where Durge and Gortash knew each other as kids, so there's a whole treasure trove of moments between them that he could scrounge up out of his brain meat.
One that I was thinking about the other day was Enver and Virgil's first meeting as little tykes. I like to imagine that Virgil had been following Enver around in the shadows for a while and finally saw the opportunity to strike, leaping at him out of nowhere. But Enver was smart and scrappy, quick on his feet, and managed to get Virgil real good across the face with a shoemaker's knife. Virgil was taken aback and impressed by his cutthroat determination and decided then and there that they would be best friends. (This is where Virgil got the scar across his cheek)
11. What motivates your Dark Urge to either embrace or resist the Urge?
I think on one side, Virgil wants to be better, and to do right by his companions, and feels extremely betrayed by his father, especially seeing the ways his companions are in parallel situations with their gods/fathers/masters. On the other side, I think there is a part of him that feels hopeless in a way. He is made completely of Bhaal's flesh and essence. How could he ever rise above the vile blood that courses through his veins? In the end, though, I think he's just tired and wants to be free of it all.

Thinking about.... Subtle ways to show how a relationship is changing in just the speech.... Or how someone is special to a person because they're the only one who get to use a nickname.... Going from a formal way to adress someone to a casual one.... From last name to first name....

hi it’s me again (i love your art/pos)
What do you think Dave and Paul look like???
I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED-
Tumblr media
Dave absolutely listens to Party Rock Anthem and would have been a vine star if the green flu came a few years later. He also thinks HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA is the peak of comedy.
Paul is definitely the least reckless of the bunch, making it his responsibility to be responsible since he's the oldest. Gets reeeaaal fed up with everyone's antics but he does care. A lot. Not great at showing it though. (But he does try) ((Kinda))
Bucky (Keith's second brother who's mentioned only once in Ellis' stories, doesn't have a canonical name so I named him Bucky) is an absolute bastard and he's proud of it. Definitely less reckless than Keith so he gets into way fewer accidents, but he's also way more mean. Definitely would kick the shit outta somebody for messing with his brothers.
