i foolishly started another playthrough of bg3 in the early access even tho the game comes out for realskies in like a week or so and i'll have get to make more characters/new pts anyway.

trying to make myself not be a pretty wood elf/half elf druid so rolled drow paladin (i'm def going to play a druid first once it's out for real tho b/c talk to animals is my favorite larian studios skill and i'm so sad without it. i just want to talk to all the animals and also wild shape!) and it's actually been pretty fun to just be tanky and whack things.

npcs are super rude to drow tho, it's real da elf and skyrim khajit/dunmer flashback hours (i don't love it? the fantasy race racism stand-in in rpg games always feels not terribly thoughtful? i realize it's b/c the source material has it but still idk there's got to be a better way and wotc/dnd is historically still not great at it)

i keep attempting to play a different type of character (i usually start to swing chaotic good no matter where i start lol), but it's difficult and also it's real hard not to flirt with astarion even if he disapproves of my kinda do-gooder paladin atm lol (i think b/c a character disproves sometimes my contrary nature takes the better of me b/c i'm like oh no but i want *them* to like me even tho everyone else approves or maybe b/c everyone else approves XD i've already romanced him & shadowheart tho, gotta try someone else's arc or proto arc as it were lol. BUT FLIRT WITH HOT KINDA STANDOFFISH ELF!!! i am weak T.T)

still wish you could set up the "what do you desire" character to be genderfluid and appear as both masc/femme forms. like my characters are all bi/pan! they're attracted to lots of people- idk if they've said anything about this? i haven't been watching *too* many dev videos b/c i don't want to spoil myself too much but i did some searching to see if it was mentioned anywhere yet and couldn't find anything (i did see that they'll have more body types for your tav at least in the final which is another small thing i dislike about the early access cc- even tho you can pick non binary as an id, you're still stuck w/ very binary body choices)

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 ramblings #i'm never really able to swing lawful or evil like i always end up either neutral or chaotic good #technically the game doesn't have alignments per se but some of the choices feel like little pushes towards them #it doesn't help that's astarion is an excellent rogue and i need that in my party (also his banter is so good) #drow #text post #elves #dnd lore #the whole “good” vs “bad” type of drow sub type is so iffy too #i know it's more a dnd problem but cmon we can do better #critique asides the queer rep in this game has been pretty good tbh #the bar is low but still the option to be non binary and not have your voice tied to gender/id is big #seriously tho talk to animals is the best #almost all the animals have names and you can get quests/hints from them #also you can be a bear #i also used the be a cat skill to get around a stepping puzzle so druid kinda op #but paladin is fun too (i don't think they'd work together as a multiclass tho)

this guy i have a crush on is making me want to KILL MYSELF

#not because of anything bad #it's just he keeps showing genuine interest in me #like we've been texting consecutively for 2 weeks now #he literally said he was going to come visit me at work when our scehdules align (he lives 2 hours away) and that we shoudl get dinner #and i can't help but feel like something's going to give #but i think i may just be overreacting #because whenever i get a crush on someone i get obsessive and overanalyze #maybe i should stop thinking about him. #journal

HELLO I HATE WHEN PEOPLE CHANGE PLANS LAST MINUTE OKAY BYE

#miles thots #my friend and i are hanging out today after work and she asked if we could invite another of our friends which is completely okay! #but the plan was i’d pick them up from their meeting bc i our schedules aligned perfectly #and i just got here and texted them i’m here when they’re done and my 2nd friend said she’s going with someone else who’s apparently joining #us too #but i didn’t have him in my plan today! i was mentally prepared for this specific situation! #and now my first friend isn’t responding so idk if she’s still coming with me #it’s really not a big deal but i don’t feel like hanging out anymore bc i’m stressed out

for the space related asks, ⭐️ & 🛰?

whee!! thank you!

⭐️ Star - Do you have a favourite character? If so, why are they your favourite?

Oh no a very hard question actually... Probably the answer is evidently Emily and Dee since I spend more time thinking and writing about them than any of my other characters. POSSIBLY if I had to choose out of the two of them I'd pick Dee because I am kind of a sucker for a sad sack loser with emotional problems and I deeply enjoy thinking up situations to make him happy and/or traumatised. I also enjoy overthinking his powers and what kinds of things I have to tweak about physics for him to exist with the functions I've given him. (Such as recently I've thought of new objections to the plausibility of time travel but I think I've also thought of a way to resolve them storywise which I personally think is very funny, but if I learn more about physics before it comes up it might change.)

I love Zoe a lot but she is much harder to write and to draw for some reason? I feel like she is clear in my head but never comes out right somehow. It's weird.

I have other characters from other stories that I love too... another favourite who is unrelated to this story is a guardian angel whose first guardee died prior to the story beginning; clearly the angel fucked up a bit with that but gets a second chance, but then is pretty lousy with the second person too!! Trying to push them to fill the shoes of the first person.

Recently I found out that the person who inspired my first 'canon nonbinary' character (I didn't know that was a thing at the time tho) has since come out as for real nonbinary, which obviously makes a lot of sense lol. It was mostly about this one very cool jacket they owned. But that character was a strong fave for a long time... the story was terrible and really problematic lolol but ah well. Probably all the good parts of that character have gone into Dee and Zoe anyway.

I LOVE THEM ALL ;_;

🛰 Satellite - Do you have a character who is very dependent on another character? Is it healthy or unhealthy?

WELL. Again... Emily and Dee are each other's most emotionally intimate relatinship... Dee again is more dependant on Emily than vice versa, and less healthy about it, although I would say it's overall good for them both (but I would say the healthy/unhealthy balance varies over time and may be affected by external factors...).

Zoe is still on the periphery a bit but.............. well there are/will be some dynamics of questionable health there. She doesn't have particularly healthy attachments and is still not exactly over her previous friendship dynamic of being the second best friend of two besties who were shitty to her, and is still kind of stuck in the mode of 'trying to be exactly what the other person wants so they will like me'. Which Emily is not really aware of because she doesn't ever do that. Although the kinds of things Zoe plays up to try to be friends with her probably aren't as bad as what she has done to get OTHER people to like her, and she's relatively confident that Emily isn't going to use any of the stuff she knows against her.

Again, in terms of OTHER characters I have a couple where they are both disabled in various ways but one has more problems with mobility and communication than the other, and also had to be rescued from a kind of slavery by the other, which naturally gives the rescuer some pause for thought about the power dynamic there and whether she's ~taking advantage~ by falling in love with her at the same time (I mean by the time she even gets aware enough of her feelings lolol, gotta sort of pine without realising first!!)... but I'm trying to write that one as pretty healthy tbh, they're just trying to support each other through a difficult world yknow. And anyway the one who used to be a slave deliberately tried to square that debt immediately so it wouldn't be hanging over them both and is now mostly consumed with a quest for revenge lol. But also love.

I am going to.... stop rambling for now lol!!

#ask games #tysm for sending me some!! #sorry for late reply i tried answering on mobile desktop but either tumblr or my phone doesnt work very well #or a team effort to make me unable to type #so had to wait for laptop time #fun fact i looked up codependent because i always thought i knew what it meant but suddenly was like 'what if i've been using it wrong' #and SURE ENOUGH the definitions that came up did uhh... not align with how i thought it was used!!!! #i don't know if people want to hear about my other stories; gappy plotted and unfinished beasts that they are #anything i write outside of a given story text is subject to change #also tbh my 'word of god' doesn't even really count... this is like. my reading of the dynamics and what i'm more or less aiming for but #i'm super interested in how other people read it #they all live in my head full time i don't always have the clearest perspective #like when people were like 'that was a huge dick move for dee to not tell emily that markus liked her' #rly interesting to find out what other people make of their goings on!

finding posts to lead up to the goodnight post is such a task. n i do it because i have to. who needs sleep. need to blog. need to lay my head against cool metal surface. need to blog

#it is 12 in the morning i wanted to wrap up blogging for the night 30 min ago #but i need to find the perfect assortment of posts u all know what i MEAN #like i don't micromanage but i feel like the last posts of th night need to be in a certain order. bc my brain tells me to she hates me #like text post image text post text post image goodnight #or image text post image image text post goodnight #like buffer posts. but i still end up spamming and i gotta start ovr again bc i ruined my whol flow #i dont do this everynight sometims the stars align and its fine #idk why i do this im like this over small things..... #why does my brain work like this ok two mor posts n then im done #havnt posted any music today eithr whoops ok tommorow then #my text

i want to sit everyone who has strong opinions about what n is the hero of down and have a discussion about how him having one dragon doesnt make more sense than the other because the subtext in each game version differs greatly from each other, ensuring that the sides the dragons choose work for that setting. it's suuuper interesting and i'd like more people to know about how deep both routes go

#text #unova #pokemon bw #didn't want to reblog any posts because i did it once when it was a genuine question and i don't want to annoy anyone LOL #but yeah while i focus much more on the white version timeline (bc it's the one i'm most familiar with + offers more for me to work with #via how convoluted it can be) black is just as canon aligned and has been validated thru media pretty evenly with white #though admittedly a little more obscure than the 3 animations/sequences whites received. still. every manga adaptation of bw follows black #+ pokemon masters and tcg do the same #anyway i like talking about this a lot! it's neat! the details that set the versions apart get as minute as n's speech patterns

You cannot resist the whole of the military industrial complex, especially the US American sector, without holding compassion and sympathy for veterans.

#sentences that would explode too many young left leaning but deeply conservative pilled people on the spot #ignoring and silencing the 'undesirable leftovers' of war is 100% in alignment with the military's recruitment goals #the majority of vets are anti war and are the ones who warn us of the dangers and militant tactics best #and those who are pro war still deserve to be heard and kept safe for themselves and others JUST AS MUCH as the anti war vets #bc honestly there's pieces of how military propaganda works that you will not learn from those who it didn't work on (drafted or family #pressures made them enlist moreso than the actual messaging) and those who broke free of it #why does it take hold of folks? how does it keep them entrenched and loyal to the military cause? you can only really #learn those intricacies by respectfully observing and listening. not silencing. #it's hard to help people you disagree with on such a serious issue live safely and in peace but you have to. and you have to understand #that they were made to suffer by someone given inordinate amounts of authority and the goal to train to kill. the training alone has been #enough to send more recruits home with PTSD than you think. they're all sick and have been taken advantage of. yes even the assholes. #it does not require forgiveness nor agreement to learn from and to respect veterans #they've gone through something horrific and that's just what the complex wants. to throw them away. do Not help make throwing human #life away any easier for them. #my text posts

Write pure Obidala with a lot of words please. It's all i need!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

is this because i said rots should have been about obi wan and padme kissing

#actually obidala is really hard for me because I think it only really works if you write Padmé as who she was supposed to be #Padmé who is good and noble and occasionally believes too much in second chances and the inherent goodness of the republic #works really well with obi wan #there’s a huge base of mutual respect and admiration there as well as goals and temperaments that align #weird messed up Padmé who’s more than a little bit nuts #(i.e. the Padmé characterization derived from the actual text as opposed to the subtext of her being written to be the archetypal #Selfless Woman) #doesn’t really work with obi wan #because Obi-Wan is capable of self sacrifice in a way that that Padmé just… isn’t #Obi-Wan kills Anakin (or at least he thinks he does) #that Padmé *can’t* #not because she believes he deserves another chance and that there’s good in him (as Intended Padmé does) #but because she *has* to believe there’s good in him or her world falls apart #anyways. yeah #i could probably write obidala with subtext Padmé #but I don’t find subtext Padmé nearly interesting enough to be able to focus an entire fic on her #obiANIdala with nuts Padmé i think actually works #please see the 30k fic i wrote about it #asks #anon

rattling the bars i just want to use alhaitham

#tre plays #genshin impact #id in alt text #i don't. actually know how furina works lmfao #like i have a vague understanding of the basics with her switching alignments n stuff #but that doesn't mean i know how to actually use her in a team y'know? ahaha #hell i HAVE baizhu and i STILL don't know how to use him lmao #it's cool that events like this let newer players try out different built characters though so really i shouldn't complain too much #it's just. like. i have my built teams. just let me use them dshfkdhfjkshdf

so over race-obsessed people, so over race reductionism

#it’s all so so divisive for the working class #align on something material for the love of the proletariat #the most destabilizing thing would be for us to unify against america in unity with international workers enslaved by western capital #we do not share interest based on race anymore #it will be too incoherent and incomplete #black people in america do not have the same interests to be VERY specific #move on and evolve in your politics and stop deifying niggas #mine #text #racists were the OG race obsessives and now y’all have just reacted with an immaterial inversion of that #give it up #niggas still hungry
