#what a dark elf is

[thenixkat]

Still fascinating to me that there's people who truly think their experiences are universal, that because something is popular in the circles they run in means that everyone should know it and will insult and treat people like stupid uncultured swine for even perceived differences in experiences. or if folks disagree with them when they make overly broad generalizations on what 'everyone' knows or thinks.

(b/c it's not like poor people, people from different cultures/subcultures, and people with fundamentally different interests exist.)

Like? That's complete asshat behavior.

#nix meows #fandom fuckery #like i know for a fact that there's people out there who dont know pokemon at all and would not be interested in it if it was shown to/ #explained to them #and not even just old people #also yes this is about blackfilmmakers/afrophunk and their buddy stephanos-spaceopera #and the convo that lead to blackfilmmakers harassing me for daring to make a vent post about being gaslit by fuckers for not agreeing #with them about having to know tolkien b/c according to them all dnd and generic western fantasy settings are tolkien #and the *only* way to avoid antisemitism in fantasy writing is to know tolkien's trope #which is understandably an absurd assertion and the overly broad generalizations they made about other things to try and drive that point #home (regardless of my repeated statements of disinterest) that there was no way that i'd agree with #swinging a bat at a hornet's nest? maybe but the thought has been on my mind #especially given stephanos tried to 'own me' after i pointed out that i have no intrest in trying to convince them to read dungeon meshi #especially since they and blackfilmmakers have a very obvious and really funny bias against it and go out of their way to read every thing #as negatively as possible #by again infering that I'm stupid b/c they decided to interpret 'that term is used differently in this setting' as not knowing #what a dark elf is

Studied faces, ended depicting what it looks like to tame your vampire boyfriend until his body remembers how to breath.

They have... interesting rituals.

The fact that Durge and Astarion can't roll around on the ground, fighting like feral cats during their first meeting is a crime

Once more thinkin about this Prompt/AU

And I decided to sketch the level 1 forms the team (& Ellie) have along with sketches of their lvl 200+ Forms. I do believe Klarion is having a blast with his new friends and the Young Justice Team is going to have some Trauma from not knowing this is a Game.

Tucker: Lvl 1 Cat | Sam: Lvl 1 Sprout | Valerie: Lvl 1 Golem | Danny: Lvl 2 Dragon Egg | Ellie: Lvl 1 Celestial Snakelett

(Click for higher quality) Also they are all now Mountain Sized or Larger. Also pondering them all having 3 stages to their bossfights. Second stages is when they start using more magic & less "minions" and final stage is when shit hits the fan & the surroundings get Wrecked. Like Tucker summoning a literal storm & getting lightning charged, or Sam fully emerging from the caves, or Valerie unearthing herself and the team realizing the entire dungeon-city was On Her Back.

@victoria-has-no-secret @qitsin Both y'all reblogged with fun ideas so here @bleuyellow93-storytime you had very VERY fun tags so also here lol [If u don't want to be tagged I apologize] Aaand finally, @radiance1 I think you'd like these

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #my art #Klarion is having a blast with this & being a merchant #I bet if Dan joins in he's a king or other important figure who Relishes being able to rule an entire kingdom #maybe he's the NPC King's childhood friend/captain of the guard who is REALLY running things through the military #The young justice team are stuck doing things with the world's game mechanics instead of their previous powers #Which no one really spoke about what classes or whatever the young justice team would be #Like very DND feeling but not quite either #But I am just saying: Dark Elf Tim/Robin #Kaldur continues to be a magic user but there is struggles for all of them #Yes they all have to start at level 1 #Also yes Danny is stuck as an egg until like level 20 lol #then he FINALLY hatches #into a level 20 newborn starklett #And yes team phantom had multiple evolution options & choices for abilities #isekai au #but not really #Amity Park is Klarion's favorite city & they showed him anime and video games #He was hooked #DCxDP #DPxDC

My BG3 dark urge bard, Vasarra, as a companion!

If you let him give in to the urges, he eventually breaks up with you.

Vasarra is a lot like Astarion in the sense that he tries to ensure his survival by appealing to Tav. Ironically, I think if he was a companion he would not get along with Astarion initially (because they'd be rivals in trying to get Tav's attention for survival). He does eventually learn to find more things about himself outside of his urges, which is hard for him because he initially leans HARD into them. (In my playthrough, it was literally Astarion who made him question if there was more to him than his instincts.)

#He's a little stupid but he has the spirit #Vasarra means Blood Prince #He's a half drow #he puts on the body art and makeup as his morning routine #I couldn't be bothered to draw it repeatedly five times in a row though #what a champ #Boy's just a little bit traumatized but he doesn't know that #digital art #art #dnd character #character art #dnd character art #commissions open #dnd art #dnd #bg3 spoilers #bg3 fanart #bg3 #bg3 tav #bg3 art #baldurs gate 3 #tav #bg3 half elf #bg3 half drow #bg3 durge #bg3 dark urge

Thorn Baskeville. Elf Detective.

Pleasure to Meet You. What the Case ?

Thor sweating as he tries to get Odin off him about marriage to Lady Sif: I--I already have a woman I intend to marry!!!!! Thor: [covers mouth in regret] Odin: Oh? And who might it be? Thor: [muffled] an... elf? Odin, narrowing his eyes: ...an elf. Thor: she's from another realm, you wouldn't know her!

#Odin: ...right. I don't believe you. We're marrying you off to Sif within the year. #Thor: BUT MY BELLE!!! #Odin: don't care didn't ask #a week later The Dark Elf attack happens and Thor lauds it over Odin for the 2 seconds he has before running off to commit treason #like 'see what's happened now that you broke my engagement with my beautiful elf woman???????' #instead of arguing over their mother's death when jane is asleep thor asks loki for advice about finding an elf bride quickly #loki laughs at him by the way and is no help at all. he just keeps laughing at thor's predicament #and then dies so that's no use for thor at all

I think it says something about Halsin that he approves if you try to appeal to Ketheric, to convince him to lay down his weapons and let Tav help him to redeem himself, even though Thaniel clearly states that the only way the land can heal is for Ketheric to die. With that line alone, you'd expect him to be all aboard the Murder Ketheric Train, No Exceptions and yet!

Even though he lost so many people because of Ketheric, his predecessor/mentor, his childhood friend, people he considered to be his family and friends. Even though he has every reason to despise Ketheric, Halsin approves if you try to spare him. He keeps his heart open. No one is beyond help so long as someone thinks to offer it. And he approves of Tav doing exactly that.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #halsin #ketheric thorm #i have determined why halsin is so big - it's because a regular sized elf could not contain the sheer volume of compassion that he possesse #you'd expect a druid to be all in on the murder if that's what it takes to heal the damage done to nature #you'd expect halsin to not want to redeem the man who inflicted so much suffering on nature. on his childhood friend. #on the people he came to see as his family and the good people he fought with #but halsin defies that expectation. he has so many good reasons to hate ketheric and want him dead #but instead he's in favour of trying to help him come back from the dark #to find the light again and repent the evil he's done #he believes that people deserve the chance to come back from their terrible mistakes

[esterigermaine]

Okay, but Halsin, Jaheira, Minthara, and Astarion all taking one look at an Elf dark urge and immediately going "I can influence that"

So all 4 of the older Elves in the party end up being like a divorced couple that can't agree on how to raise their kid.

#dark urge #i know durge is an adult and the other elves recognize them as at least being physically an adult #but considering lore surrounding bhaal I headcanon durge to be between 35-50 at the oldest #and without memories to give them experiences to base things on when making choices #i could see the older elves and half elves trying to guide them #only astarion and minthara are encouraging violence #and halsin and jaheira are trying to nudge them toward good decisions #and it is a full out war trying to get a single Elf with amnesia to do what each of the 4 thinks is best for them #like nudge nudge I am 200 years older than you and wiser we should kill the clown #or hey trust me you want to befriend the displacer beast trying to eat your face. she is a part of nature “) #astarion over there trying to convince them to rob a temple #and jaheira is giving advice on how to raise kids only we know how Jaheira is with her own kids so the advice probably sucks #astarion #halsin #minthara #jaheira #baldurs gate 3

“Well, I’m a doctor.”

“Licensed?”

“What? God, no. Not being licensed gives me more room to move. I don’t have to worry about any of those pesky oaths or ‘ethics.’”

It occurred to me I never posted my backup character! I’m currently playing her while my other PC is imprisoned in Ravenloft. Her name is Emilia and every time she brings someone back from the dead, she gets a Frankenstein-esque white streak. I think she is the party darling but it’s because her moral compass is a propeller hat. More in tags!

Unedited version of this post plus a bonus pic.

I've been tanking a ton lately in FFXIV and it's very fun. Got over my tankxiety by simply no longer giving a shit what people think about my skill level as a player and it somehow caused me to be a better tank. "Fuck it, we ball," and such.

So, you know how when an author is writing og!Cale and they want to give him a power, sometimes they give him fantasy spirit stuff? Well, I want elementals to have the usual 'spirit king per attribute' that you usually find in fantasy mangas, but make the water spirit king an axolotl and let og!Cale befriend them.

And when I say Axolotl Water Spirit King I mean 'non-parlant little flying axolotl' that can turn into a 'giantic, water-looking-like, could swallow a pirate ship, still non-parlant axolotl' a la Ponyo.

Just, Imagine og!Cale who was just minding his business and finds a little dorky amphibian that got trapped in a net. And the little dorky one smiles at him. He has no choice but to help it.

The little one likes him. They become friends :D!!

So, turns out his animal friend can fly. Cool.

His new friend decided to follow him— Wait, where is he going?

...Oh.

So, his little friend is not so little anymore.

Ey, don't— spit it out! Spit the bad woman out!

And he doesn't like his relatives.

#original cale henituse #og cale henituse #og!cale henituse #og cale and his axolotl spirit friend #I can imagine his relatives and the Henituse fighting over what to do with the 'totally friendly' mascot of cale #And cale insisting that it's not his pet #just his animal friend #that turned out not to be an animal #But they still can't hurt him #The Henituse's support him because if a giant little magic amphibian makes Cale happy then the amphibian stays #Things escalate so much that the king has to get involve to resolve the conflict #The king's birthday celebration gets delayed by Cale's pet's fault #Zed brings the three oldest princes because they were classy fighting near him while he was hearing the report #and he's petty #They pass through Tolz's village on the way and one of Alberu's dark elf guards overhears a conversation about very illegal things #The Vizcount gets an improvised royal inspection and Raon is saved by Alberu #Eventually they arrive at Rain City #they are confused af when they see the little axolotl eating cookies with Cale Henituse #wasn't he supposed to be a terrorific giant aquatic creature?
