Two people on a small bipartisan science station gently fall in love.

#S'veyk #Ehergha #S'veyk is half Vulcan half Klingon & Ehergha is full Klingon #beas ocs #both S'veyk and Ehergha bond over loving their home planets but wanting them to change their views on certain things #S'veyk wishes Vulcan were more accepting of others and Ehergha wishes there was more emphasis placed on honor in #things outside of war - though (and this is important) they both feel very proud of where they come from #Like a month after the above convo they're getting married btw #neither Vulcans nor Klingons seem to have a dating period as the cultural norm it's mostly just rituals and marriage <3 #skipping right to good stuff /j #Cute fact!: Ehergha and S'veyk attempt to nuzzle their heads together but his ridges are uncomfortable on her skin #(hers are more like raised bumps while his feel more like bone) #so they have to do it sooo carefully and gently but S'veyk insists on doing it!! #She also throws a vase at him after the above comic in an attempt to return his affections (she read about it) #and he's like 'you don't have to force it' (sorry) 'just - if it feels right you can throw something then.' #bea art tag #star trek oc #they are NOT in Starfleet

You can really when people who're both Atla and DC fans don't read comics when they compare Zutara to Dickkory and think Zuko is like Dick and that Katara is like Kory instead of the other way around

@insomniac-jay

#'b-b-but team mom and dad-'does not erase their actual personalities.also there weren't any kids in the titans in the comics so there you go #as for why it's the other way around:katara is like dick because they're both blue-coded brown characters with eldest daughter syndrome #and extremely kind and extremely mean at the same time.zuko is like kory because they were both born into royalty but taken away from it #and have anger issues and violent tendencies but good people at their core despite their flaws-there's also the emotions based fire powers #seriously fandoms obsession with gender roles when it comes to crossover comparisons genuinely gets under my skin as a trans gnc person #and the fact that i'm also autistic with a special interest in parallels dosen't help #dickkory #pro dickkory #t4t dickkory #anti zutara #dick grayson #katara #koriand'r #zuko #also gonna tag this as: #dick grayson:trans woman extrodinare #and #transmasc genderfluid kory supremacy #for personal organization #batfam #teen titans #ntt #the titans 1999 #outsiders 2003 #teen titans 2003 #atla geekery #lok #the gaang #zuko and katara #summerposting

Some sketcheys of this AU because I needed to get some of it out of my system

#hm i should make an original art tag #darth maul #maul #asajj ventress #senator maul au #the other two nightsisters are just random designs not ocs or canon characters i just wanted to add more dathomirians #because making maul the shortest in a group is one of my favorite visual gags #and i think it's fun that he'd be the most 'colorful' of the group #all clothes are reds n grays because i got lazy . i am not great at designing outfits. and even worse at picking colors for the designs #i gave him (all of them really) silver-ish jewelry because 1. i like the color more and 2. more fitting imo. silver is more magic propertie #i think in this au ventress is in the age range wookieepedia lists as her legends age. so she's like. younger than padmé #an apprentice senator. still learning about the senate and senatorial life so she can take maul's place when he quits #i think the other half of the delegation (or at least the other senator) would be significantly older than them. they're both so young #they need an older person who can be the voice of reason and experience #ventress gets big clotheys because 1. she's a teen here she deserves the proper coverage and 2. it's fun to go the opposite route of usual #fantasy designs where the guy gets a lot of layers and the girl gets clothes that show too much skin #but don't worry he IS wearing space underwear. a bad (or good) camera angle will not catch sight of his peanus in that second sketch

[unhinged-nymph]

he really said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#too freaking cute #i fucking love those black frames so much #and his hair slicked back behind his ears ! #they're both looking so damn good lately #i'm feeling victimized #rhett and link #mythical society #rhett & link react #we painted the walls our skin color

[karmaphone]

I can see some of y'all are deep in the colonial romance fantasies re silna 😒😒😒

#terrorposting #the thing about goodsir/silna is that it's good because it didn't happen #she doesn't love him like that. he's the man who (symbolically) killed her father he's her jailer he's the information leech worming #it's way into her vocabulary #he loves her like that of course. how could he not with the tales of native romances he's been spoon-fed. and she knows that he doesn't see #her as a Whole Unique Person. she's the arctic to him. she's the unyielding ice and wind that cuts at your skin and the beast haunting them #they're not made for each other it's not 'anything could've happened' - it's good because it didn't #there was clearly a draw and a connection there - but this show is EXCELLENT at illustrating how fuzzy the borderline between chemistry and #what people are truly capable of at their worst #can be #it's 'for all the love that could have been if we were both different. if the world was different. if we weren't here (but if we weren't #here we never could be)' #it's you are clearly bad for me but I cannot tear myself away #it's you bring me comfort but I wish you weren't here (I wish we both weren't here) #it's we're going through this awful thing together. despite it all despite what either of us wants we're in this together #it's not some fuckign. uwu THIS white man will treat her good. how can you say that after a single second of considering the sexualization #of native women #they're fascinating because of the situation not because it's some 'better' romance #some of y'all suck the nuance right outta things like a juice box I swear to GOD

Ahem.

Introducing Nanim, heir of House Exeltis of Baldur's Gate

AKA, if Larian isn't going to give us a nonbinary companion, I'm going to make one up myself.

Quick Class details:

Wild Magic Sorcerer with a noble background, half-drow, they/them

Meeting:

In the wreckage of the Nautiloid crash, you find them cornered by three sheep. As you approach, they warn you in a panic to stay back, and the sheep attack. The aforementioned sheep are actually polymorphed Intellect Devourers.

Starting Cantrips:

Minor Illusion

Mage Hand

Shocking Grasp

Ray of Frost

Dancing Lights (drow heritage)

Starting Spells:

Disguise Self

Color Spray

Skills:

History (noble background)

Persuasion (noble background)

Arcana

Religion

Personality:

Starting off by saying they're Lawful Neutral. They grew up nobility with strict rules about when and how to behave and what to do in regards to their Wild Magic surges, so they firmly believe that anyone who is in charge is in charge for a reason, and any rules they set are SET for good reason. You can sway their opinion on this by investigating into the people in charge; for example, initially, they're on the druids' side on the tiefling vs druid conflict, because it's THEIR grove, they're allowed to let in whomever they choose, the refugees are infringing on the rules they set by staying. However, when you find out Kagha's there because Halsin's gone and Kagha's been dealing with the shadows, Nanim's like "wait a minute. You aren't qualified to lead at ALL" and reevaluates their opinion.

They are VERY sheltered as to how the world works. Courtesy of their upbringing.

Very optimistic and charismatic, VERY loyal, and will judge you if you AREN'T loyal to the company you keep. Extremely eager to explore, with little regard to personal safety due to being a Wild Magic bomb all the time. On the more negative side, they're careless, naive, a bit insensitive and pompous due to their status, very impulsive, and hedonistic. They like luxury, they don't believe in challenging rules to help those affected negatively by them, they think they're greater than they are (sorcerous hubris at its finest) and that all their opinions are correct, and they chase novelty like an addiction.

They also zone out. A lot. Like, in the middle of a conversation, a lot. It's often filled with impulsive thoughts that they're sorting into "yes" and "no" piles (examples: "Should I ask Astarion if he's also part drow? If I smack Shadowheart's braid, will she kill me? I want to poke Karlach, just to see if she's REALLY on fire or if it's illusory.") an you can use the tadpole to listen in. Don't get caught!

They're genuinely afraid of confronting their negative traits or admitting they might be wrong about something, in denial about things that don't fit their pre-established idea of themselves. Unintentionally condescending at times. Craves friends and romance both, has no idea how either work (has been to brothels, sure, but hasn't ever had a genuine connection with someone). Likes music, plays the lute. Very vain. 

Approval:

Following pre-set rules (the druids want the refugees out of the grove, the refugees want your help, you refuse to challenge the druids)

Being willing to engage with your surroundings (Eilistraee's sword, the Blood of Lathander, touching the button in Withers' crypt)

Refusing to deal with rule-breakers (the Zhentarim)

Researching/being knowledgeable about religion/history/magic (successful dice rolls)

Staying out of problems that don't concern you (declining to get involved with Ethel vs the brothers)

Taking charge and standing up for your companions (telling the Gur that Astarion's under your protection, standing up for Gale when the others want him to leave, telling Mizora off when she comes to punish Wyll)

Literally anything positive to do with the drow twins at Sharess's Caress

Disapproval:

Defying the order of things (helping the refugees, telling Minthara you'll help her)

Picking the safe route/electing to leave something alone (non-confrontational dialogue choices, abandoning the Blood of Lathander)

Dealing with blatantly bad characters (the Zhentarim, the goblin camp, that paladin that wants to steal the gith egg, Viconia, Balthazaar, Mizora)

Being genuinely dumb (licking the spider, drinking Thisobald Thorm's brew, giving your blood to Araj, waving to Vlaakith, drinking Priestess Gut's potion)

Getting involved with other people's conversations when they didn't ask for you (convincing Rolan's siblings to stay at/leave the grove, interrupting Kagha vs Arabella)

Selling people out (Astarion, Isobel, Shadowheart)

Prying into other people's heads in your party on purpose (Gale, Shadowheart, themself)

Being rude to friendly characters

Being modest and/or humble (downplaying yourself or refusing finer things in life; they want luxury and rewards, damn it!)

Some general, non-personal-quest-related dealbreaker moments (ie, moments where Nanim will permanently leave your party):

Betraying the grove (you have to roll intimidation a few times to avoid this)

The Dark Urge kills a companion on purpose (non-combat, specifically by giving in to the Urges)

Goading Orin into killing whomever she has captive

This is a very long post, so I'll split the Nanim lore into multiple parts (their history, their quest, their romance, etc) and link them here when finished.

Part 2: Nanim's History

#bg3 #companion idea #nanim #i am very proud of the work i put into them #like; they're not perfect #they're not going to be happy with all of your 'good' choices #they're not going to be happy with all your bad ones either #they've got flaws and they've got quirks and are unique to engage with (or at least that's the hope) #also gods is it hard to get pictures with proper lighting #i will get more pictures in different lighting for later i swear #also also 'why don't they have grey skin if they're half drow?' #they do have it! look at the ears and the lips #was absolutely thrilled to find that skin tone because it looks like both of their parents #instead of drow lite #same with the hair; one parent has white hair and the other has black #so you get graphite grey. because while i want them to be nice to look at i don't want them to be perfectly conventionally pretty #i want them to be an acquired taste for whatever corner of players decide to like them

[dedtoot]

The story i told in the tags of a previous post made me remember a real funny thing

One time i was threatened over making a joke about yoyo, comparing him to ghiaccio from jjba

That person?

The same one who created the tab hot take

On a fucking series anniversary no less

Remember this happening very clearly cuz i just got into jsr back then

So yeah small world

#only know they're the same person cuz both posted a lot of jsrf yoyo. and yoyo being a bird #they changed all their handles it seems cuz i can't find anything (except old screenshots) #will still not reveal the names in a chance that someone does manage to find them #the discourse they started still baffles me so much #when people rightfully started laughing at the take they hid these replies and then added that only poc ppl can respond to this #(should've made that clear from the start but k +assuming everyone you talk to is white is very 💀💀) #a poc person did write their opinion on this.they didn't agree but also brought up a good point that jsr has worse designs with this problem #and the take creator didn't listened. they got what they asked but still continued with this #also claimed that lips have the same color as skin??? that's just objectively wrong #anyways that situation is a mess I can't forget it(wish i could) #my stuff

[caffeinatedopossum]

Events of last night:

Me: *crying*

My girlfriend: what's wrong?? :(

Me: *struggling to form words* intrusive thoughts are bad... I don't want to talk about them because then I'm scared that they're true and you might think I'm awful

My girlfriend: ah I actually get that. I have those a lot. It doesn't mean anything though, intrusive thoughts are just like dreams. Like the things you do in them aren't really things you want to do, it's just stuff your brain comes up with.

#we then very heavily related over having the same intrusive thoughts and now I'm suspicious #thinking about when i told her i might have ocd and she said i didnt #and starting to feel like thats because... what if we both have ocd #it seems like she was basing her entire knowledge of conditions on people shes known with those conditions. which makes sense #but the person/ people with ocd had severe cleaning compulsions and the like #where as me and her obsess much more over morality #like its very clear we think about it so much. and idk what to do with that information #we both feel like the intrusive thoughts and obsessive ruminating are the only things that keep is from being bad people #or that prevent us from being bad people i guess. idk why that wording is just slightly more accurate #like people who dont think about these things (apparently all 'normal' people since this could be *an actual disorder*) #they're not constantly analyzing. trying to be aware. asking themselves questions about their true nature. judging those answers #theyre not really doing that with other people either. of course i could be wrong since im very clearly not a normal person. #but this is what i mean! im speculating about other people and acknowledging the ways i could be wrong and just trying to figure it all out #but it seems like no one does that and it doesnt *make them* bad people. it just doesn't prevent them from that happening either #like theyre just as likely to hurt people as the 'bad' person thats thinking the same way they are #and i cant ever be comfortable with me living that reality even when *this reality* is a waking nightmare #sure im tearing my skin off (good ole skin picking disorder) when im thinking about these things. sure im crying. sure i can't sleep. #sure it makes me feel like im constantly a horrible person and need to attone for everything ive done and havent done #sure. but then i turn around and say its helping me. because why else would my brain torture me? isnt it always about protecting me? #i don't know. all i know is who i dont want to be and what i dont want. so that exactly what my brain convinces me is real #i guess what it kinda comes to do is #would you rather live a reality where everything around you is superficial. your thoughts behaviors and thoughts. your reactions #all of them are things youre never aware of. you could be hurting people or you could be helping themm #you could even be hurting yourself. but you would never know. its a comfortable reality that youre never really aware of #OR would you rather live a reality aware of all those things. seeking answers and sometimes finding them. #trying your hardest to help others and better yourself and fix the broken things in this world #your reality is one where you recognize every threat that no one else does and it kills you inside because they wont always listen #theyre comfortable and you're stuck in a reality where you try and try and try but even when you succeed #your brain forms its own reality. a metaphorical jail. where you never get to experience the reality you fought so hard for #instead you exist in this sort of purgatory where you live out your own worst fears and the worst ways you could have failed

[kitausuret]

saw a very lukewarm take on Felicia today and now I can't stop thinking about it. I don't even know her character the best best and I'm still low-key upset about it.

#i know we all laugh and have a good time about the 'your mask - put it back on!' scene #but she actually did have a period of rapid growth after that #and it was GOOD #and with a few exceptions she's continued to have good growth #both by herself and in her relationship with Peter #like I'm begging anyone who thinks she didn't love Peter for Peter to read their interactions through the late 80s and 90s... please.... #anyways feeling a little salty maybe I'll write a fic about it lol #personal #ish #wait I'm not done #to be totally and completely fair the poster does seem to be from what I've seen of their blog very well versed in spidey comics lore #so I'm sure they're aware of Felicia's growth #but some of the responses got under my skin so I'm just like. biting biting biting #Felicia is not perfect she's flawed just like every good character in Spider-Man!!! #but long form storytelling like comics is ABOUT the growth #Peter had to grow too #MJ had to grow #and if Gwen had been around longer? I'm sure the same for her #so yeah i get a little snippy when i feel a character is reduced to a few panels especially when they're early on #idk where I'm going with this I'm just expressing emotions lol

[roobylavender]

rewatched episode seven on the plane last night and god like straight brain worms the entire way through bc of this narrative between gijeong and mijeong as sisters like they are truly soooo alike it’s incredible. gijeong seemingly has a personality equivalent to that of a pitbull but refuses to confess to the people she likes bc she’s utterly terrified by the thought of rejection. mijeong seemingly stews and stews in her anger to the point of isolation but can hardly speak up against the people who mistreat her bc the effort of trying to make a stand for herself is exhausting. it’s fascinating the ways in which both sisters shield themselves from the world and from people despite being so resilient underneath it all and it’s what makes me appreciate that line from gu towards the end even more. you should know. yeom mijeong, you should know who you are. bc it’s never really about gijeong and mijeong or any of the characters in my liberation notes fundamentally changing as people. it’s more about the love that others have for you acting as a sort of lens through which to view all parts of yourself that are true. gijeong and mijeong have always had the capacity to be strong and to stand against the overbearing tides. but it’s when they’re loved by people and start to love themselves that they recognize what exactly it is they’re capable of. because you like me. you can do anything in front of someone who likes you. that’s why you should worship an idiot like me

#my liberation notes #personal essays #the entire show's premise of love is built on mutual recognition. loving someone for what you come to understand lies underneath #only the truest of loves can pierce through skin and bone and see all of the way to the heart #which is why gu and mijeong understand the weaknesses in each other. but they see the strengths too and hold onto them for dear life #love as mutual recognition as worship as ultimately survival #an eternal practice in trust falls. in community building and hope and the belief that people can always be more #bc we won't survive if all we do is think lesser of others. we won't survive if we only ever see the glass as half empty #it's our commitment to each other that builds the foundations of everything good in this world #which is what makes that final monologue between gijeong and taehun so good too. about love and pity and respect #none of it is meaningless all of it is well intentioned and it's what allows them to support each other in earnest #bc they're not fixating over each other's shortcomings or quirks. they welcome them wholeheartedly #and they recognize how they make each other stronger by way of those personality traits #each of them has a sturdiness of personality that both inspires and supports the other it's incredible

[psychopathic-moves]

I can't believe they gentrified trigun. Why is Wolfwood wearing leggings

#i. dont. like. the. new. designs #they're fine on their own but they dont hold up in the slightest agaisnt the old ones and im expecially salty abt Nick #wheres his width?? his aquiline nose??? toned skin??? he looks so lanky feed him pls #at least he behaves more like the manga WW which is good but theyre making both him and vash so much more serious #the guys didnt even have a braincell to share #enjoying the vashwood content from episode 4 tho im giving my thanks #trigun stampede

people judging ur level of education or whether u deserve a certain level of job or not by ur spelling/grammar/knowledge of english is so fucking fake sorry but there are native us english speakers at my workplace saying "i look foreword to chatting" like. honestly it just enrages me lol

#it's all fake!!!!!!! meritocracy doesn't exist!!!!! #and i know it's not a measure of ur skills in another thing HOWEVER non native english speakers #get judged almost exclusively on how they speak the language #nvm whether they're idk. really good at coding or team building or whatever #u NEED to have both if ur skin tone is slightly darker #but if ur white i guess fuck it??? it's ASSUMED u have excellent english lang skills #when like honestly. many white US americans have very poor literacy skills
