Finding out that over 100 public schools in the UK were build with flimsy concrete and that the tory government knew that it had to be replaced for years but did nothing about it shows exactly why you should never fucking vote conservative

What’s really annoying about the whole Gods talk about them being good or bad and what they’ve done for mortals is beyond over now.
You have confirmation that Predathos CONSUMED two previous overseerers of specific DOMAINS that were then DISHED OUT to other gods to keep records in organized filing cabinets in their little god offices to keep things from turning into utter chaos.
Do you really want to gamble Predathos consuming ANY of the gods whether it be Prime or Betrayer and leaving their domain unchecked?? What happens if Predathos consumes Asmodeus? Who keeps the fiends, demons, and devils in check from dragging humans down to the hells? Or making pack deals to take their souls? Who becomes King of the Hells? You really want it to be someone like Ludinus Da’leth?
Ascending to Godhood becomes a lot easier if you don’t have to fell a god off the throne to begin with. If he can’t recreate the Matron’s ascension, then it’s clear he’ll release his feral ass red dog on the gods to devour them. Do you really want the man who recreated and restructured the Cerberus Assembly, the man who HAND PICKED Delilah Briarwood, Vess DeRogna, Trent Ikithon, the man who has created dozens of petty wars to get the slightest of political power to be the one who CHOOSES who ascends to control the God’s empty domains?
Because I don’t. It’s that fucking simple.
Nothing this man’s ever done has been about being the people’s villain to gift them utter free will and control over their fate strings. It’s all been about power and HIM being the one controlling and choosing who gets it and how much exactly.
Look at Molaesmyr. Look at the Savalirwood. Ludinus didn’t care what would happen to those lives. He’s got some weird Fey Life Devour Device. He didn’t stop Delilah Briarwood, he shunned her. When Allura Vysoren herself asked the Dwendalian Empire for help against Vecna, they said no. And who has the King’s ear? Ludinus. HE said no. He didn’t care about Whitestone or Vasselheim. He wanted Delilah to enact her plan, he wanted her to succeed so people would be so consumed and preoccupied with what she was doing no one saw him.
Who had to clean out Delilah Briarwood’s office before Vess moved in? Confused as to how Ludinus had tons of Residuum from Whitestone? Maybe consider he took the bitches notes and funneled Residuum out the back door since day 1. Consider he knew about Vax being the Raven’s Champion the moment Vestiges of Divergence started showing up. He didn’t read about Keyleth and Vax’s love story to use her. No, that bitch watched it from afar and sat on it for 24 years before testing his theory. Creating an anti-resurrect toxin, manipulating Otohan Thull the Legend of the Apex War which was how long?? Oh, 20 years. And Vess DeRogna and Ludinus were seen with Yeza creating the first vial of dunamancy how many years ago? 7. All those lives in Whitestone & Vasselheim + plus all the lives in the Dynasty died for the people of Zephyr to become one more village Ludinus is merely trying to free from the gods, because hey…he has a point. Let’s hear him out.
For every word Ludinus Da’leth speaks, is another innocent life taken as a causality in his path towards “religious freedom.” He’s using religion, he’s exploiting and abusing it, manipulating it as an EXCUSE to justify the shit he’s done. He is no better than the Gods. He is worse.
A Mortal caused the Calamity, not a God.
#critical role#c3e61#bells hells#keyleth#vaxildan#ludinus da'leth#every time an NPC or pc is like the gods are bad I’m assuming they have no common sense#I’m over it.#you want the gods to die? then leave the party and go join the anti-god cult.#that’s what you’re saying basically#some one in bells hells needs to go ape shit and scream at everyone to open their eyes or just LEAVE#we need a bard’s lament moment to get this party together or Ludinus is going to succeed#I hated HATED the mighty nein for picking the empire’s side and letting a beacon go for this exact reason#I couldn’t finish their campaign because of the idiotic choices they made#i may not be able to stomach the bell hells if they keep having this same discussion without it progressing to anything#I honestly don’t care for majority of these characters so if they end up in a western stand off than so be it.#their lives are not more valuable than that of Allura. Kima. Marwa. Pumats. Velora.#there’s nothing left for me to WANT these people to be together as a party anymore#and I don’t see long term friendships being formed and maintained compared to previous campaigns#like VM and M9 that aren’t the very singular friendships we started this campaign with#Laudna and Delilah mini will fuck off. maybe Fearne will contact them but she’ll always feel like a third wheel.#Fearne is better off with Orym and Dorian tho.#the merry three thieves could get together to do some stealing but I don’t know how long Ashton & Chetney can tolerate w/out a buffer friend#it doesn’t really feel like FCG is that much of a friend to Ashton still. so they could just live with frida at this point#vm & m9 we’re rooted in friendship no matter what happened. bh is just toxic work environment of stress#there are nice moments every now and then but there’s just not enough for me#this is just a little frustrating vent release.

i still can't believe that none of the companions had an appropriate reaction to durge being killed by bhaal. no exclamation or even comment about how bhaal literally just killed durge in front of everyone's eyes, or how withers brought them back...... what is even the point *kicks rock*

Idk hot take for a Saturday morning, but maybe people shouldn’t be SO quick to switch to a mentality of: “well I’m not voting at all” about American politics in regards to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict/genocide just bc America has had its dick in those affairs LONG BEFORE fucking Biden Presidecy and people are seemingly just NOW feeling publically vocally outraged about it bc it’s in the forefront news (as you should be), but maybe also let’s use our fucking brains for a moment if you are American:
we should, and can easily, also still focus on that which is in our own backyard, if you don’t vote fucking blue, because green/third parties are not actually viable in the deeply established two party system we have had for CENTURIES, we get fucking DeSantis or some other horrible Fascist Republican and then America is going to have its own genocide against LGBTQ+ people, fascism goes up, continued attacks against drag/immigrants/etc.
You also know damn well that any Republican, If one were president, would be doing the same fucking thing of providing aid to Israel, so I guess personally I’m just confused as to why everyone is surprised biden is doing the same.
You can and should support a free Palestine, and hold contempt for Israel and condemn their actions, AND also know that voting blue is Americas literal only chancE RIGHT CURRENTLY NOW this upcoming year, to remain somewhat of a democracy instead of a ChristoFascist regime, especially with Biden being one of the ONLY blue candidates like… our hands are TIED
Like YEAH it’s gonna fucking suck to vote for Biden but like you also gotta fucking Buck up sometimes and do things you don’t particularly WANT to do. It’s called duality and compromising in life and sometimes it’s fucking unavoidable.
But idk what the fuck do I know 🤪 I’m just a girl who thinks maybe you shouldn’t just fucking give up one of your only recognized rights in America just because some actions you can’t control from a crusty old moderate blue white man in a country whose affairs are more complicated than your messiest situationship is upsetting (rightfully so, I might add) you
#personal txt#I’m sorry that tragedies are like trends these days but I haven’t seen ANYRHING about any of the crises we had earlier in the year#like yeah ALL of it is important but also#you can’t NOTvote next year you will actively be contributing to a horrible fascist regime in America#please use your fucking eyes and brain: I did NOT say Americans shouldn’t support Palestine. they should#I’m saying maybe don’t base your gut reaction politics on things that have been out of the public’s hands for DECADES. US has always backed#Israel. it isn’t right and it’s corrupt and it’s awful yes. all those. but it won’t change#just like how the two party system is so ingrained that it nullifies 3rd parties#vote blue just so we don’t fucking die in America and then hope Biden kicks it or smth#Kamala takes over. elections come again. we hopefully have more democratic candidates#but like#we CANNOT not vote#I will literaally kill myself if Trump or DeSantis win all because you fuckstains#learned your politics from fucking tiktok and tumblr#come at me if my hot take (which isn’t even a hot take but PURE observation)#bothers you enough but idc#I’m seeing too many people being like WELL NOW IM NOT VOTING AT ALL#good job on giving up one of your only rights in this world you fucking Sheep#the amount of people goingIM NOT VOTING. IS CONCERNING TO ME#like y’all can’t do this right before fucking election year 🫠#republicans WANT you to not vote you stupid clods. why would you willingly give them what they want#Biden sucks so fucking much and I’d rather eat glass but I know in the big picture voting blue fucking matters#like MULTPLE things can be important at once#but imo it’s important to know what you do and don’t have immediate control over#can you control what’s happening in Gaza? not a fucjing chance. these people hate each other so much and for so long#and yes it’s terrible and horrible and Israel needs to just fuck off forever#but like I highly doubt they would listen to the opinion f outside affairs#also I don’t think majority of people even understand just HOW complicated the US relations with Israel is and I don’t either so I won’t#pretend like I do#you can more easily control the outcome of the US political landscape by FUCKING VOTING

Absolutely begging my otherwise sensible fellow leftists to stop dismissing anyone who engages with voting and elections as a Stupid Liberal. Voting for someone as a leftist doesn't mean I agree with them, it means I'd rather fight against their bullshit than the even worse bullshit of whoever the other options are. It's a harm reduction tactic to avoid making our own fight harder than it needs to be.
Refusing to vote for "the lesser evil" because of your own reactionary purity politics actively erodes what remains of a political left wing while allowing even greater harm to come to those most vulnerable in our society. Refusing to acknowledge there are objective and concrete differences between political parties and dubbing them "all as bad as each other" actively ignores the direct and immediate danger specific policy differences can have for poc, trans people, disabled people, poor people, homeless people, and otherwise marginalised folks.
Electoral politics is not the battleground where we will win the fight against capitalist oppression, but the people are also not about to pick up their pitchforks and storm parliament tomorrow. This fight will take years if not decades, and I would rather spend that time fighting progressives and liberals than conservatives and right-wingers.

you’re sad about eddie munson’s death because he is your fave. im sad about eddie munson’s death because it reaffirms the suspicion that the writers will never kill off a member of the main party, robbing the story of its stakes. we are not the same.

mary warleggan, née lashbrook, 1732-1771; mother of george, wife of nicholas, sister-in-law of cary, grandmother of ursula and valentine — person in her own right | it is a serious thing to be alive on this fresh morning in the broken world (and women know what it is to endure)
#poldark#george warleggan#the last picture is demelza at cardew and gosh if you haven't watched that deleted scene i'm BEGGING you to do so#it really shows just how absolutely gorgeous cardew is and what good taste mary and george had/have#so light and airy and bright#and the fact that they deleted demelza listening to the conversation but kept the actual conversation in really makes me wonder#whether it can be taken as canon that demelza is actually outside the door or if she never went to cardew at all#anyway i love that scene and i wish demelza and george had had more interactions and that they had slept together to make ross#angry at the bodrugan party 💅they deserve some nice hate sex#ANYWAY the point is: i love mary lashbrook with all my heart#her last name just SCREAMS 'free spirit who loves the open moors and stormy weather' and i would die for her#please just imagine her taking little george for walks through cardew's deer park and the rose gardens#and pointing fish out to him in the pond#since her death he doesn't like to go for walks in nature anymore#not even the performative walks in hyde park#he fills cardew with flowers in her honour but there's no magic for him left in them anymore#let society say of him what it likes#mine#oh and the 1771 death date is just my hc because we know for certain his mother was still alive when he was 9#and then ross' mother died in 1770#and i love the idea of little george being like 'oh that's terrible.. but at least i still have my mum'#and then a year later the same thing happens to him#and by 'love the idea of' i mean 'it absolutely annihilates me <333

I was trying out variations on colorways for aubree's outfit and, with a few of them, realized that her outfit has trended slightly less colorful over time, and specifically less yellow (originally a green and yellow striped vest, then a green vest over a yellow short sleeved shirt, and now possibly a white shirt and green vest, with only small amounts of yellow embroidery). this wasn't intentional, but nonetheless, the concept that, as the adventure has worn on, she's outwardly losing color-- and specifically in favor of browns and whites, the colors associated with the halfling god of death-- is compelling to me. I mean, I suppose if I had been doing it on purpose, the shadowfell arc immediately following our literal deaths and mysterious rebirths would have been a really good time for the most muted palette... but, then again, aubree was still relatively fresh then, confused and traumatized but also still powerfully and stubbornly alive where it counts; vibrant, burning, shining light into dark corners just by existing. but the more we learn, the heavier things weigh, the fewer outlets she has, the less she feels like she can relate to the people who should understand better than anyone... she's still righteous and angry, but she's also just... sad, and tired, and growing more tired the more she feels like she has to keep herself together for everyone else. and gradually, quietly, her colors are washing out.
#not to be fake deep I guess I just love her#and she's having A Rough Go Of It#this isn't even the most rough SHE'S personally had this campaign actually!#but *I'm* a lot more upset about the party failing to give her meaningful support than she is lmaooo#THIS is more-- okay the raven queen is DEAD and the fate of COUNTLESS SOULS in transition is now uncertain#and it's directly because bringing us back to life significantly weakened the gods that did that!! that's all pretty upsetting!!!#also what might this mean for urogalan? or for our warlock's demigod patron who wasn't that powerful to begin with?#but lisbet's so far up her own invented grimdark emo nonsense that she's implying maybe the Right Thing would be for us to all die(???)#and talia's like [shrug] dude idk we didn't ask them to do that so who cares. whatever. it's literally not our problem lighten up#OH OKAY OKAY OKAY I'LL JUST CARRY ALL OF THIS FEAR AND EMPATHY BY MYSELF THEN. WHILE YOU ALL TREAT ME LIKE I'M BEING DRAMATIC.#THAT'S FINE.#[strained humorless grin] and she doesn't even KNOW about the time she was unconscious and being closed in on by monsters--#and the party all ran in every possible other direction to do literally everything else other than PROTECT HER WHEN SHE WAS HELPLESS#justin had NPCs on standby in case things got ugly without The Tank but they straight up were the only ones who helped me at all#.... ANYWAY. all of which is to say. we're not on a darkest timeline path or anything but she's in the metaphorical moonlight right now#and it's only by the grace of 'I trust my DM' and specifically 'this campaign balances darkness with meaningful hope and love really well'#that she's not doing worse :') got some dark times to stew in#but now that I'm thinking about it I can be proactively thinking about when to bring more yellow back in#about me#my OCs#aubree

just so we're clear, not one word of that embarrassing grab for sympathy was an apology or acknowledgement for any of the illegal, undermining, disgusting, self-serving abuses of power. he is still wholly under the illusion that he was good for this country.

i am losing my fucking miiiiind
#i have a new years eve 'party' with a few friends tomorrow and I made the mistake of mentioning to friend N that I was gonna make cookies#and fudge to bring because. you know. i like cookies and fudge. duh. self-explanatory. i want to bring cookies and fudge.#and N (who i stg needs to be With Her Friends at least six days a week or she will die or something) was like 'we should bake them#together that morning!'#and i knew i couldn't say no because any time I say no or that I don't want to do something or that I don't like something it becomes#a fucking interrogation so i was like fine. whatever. we can bake them together.#except THEN she said that she doesn't like fudge!!! so let's not make fudge!!! oh but actually she has a gReAt cookie recipe from her#baking class last semester! we should use that! and we should make cupcakes too!#and i'm like GIRL????? THE WHOLE GODDAMN POINT WAS THAT I WANTED SOME MOTHERFUCKING FUDGE????#so fine. whatever. i just made fudge and I can cut it up tomorrow and bring it like i'd planned#because i knew if i said i really wanted to make fudge with her she'd get all pouty and 'pretend she's fine' but not really#and i didn't want to deal with that. i know how to make fudge. i can make my own fudge.#and then she mentioned that she didn't really like vanilla cupcakes but hey we can totally make both vanilla and chocolate cupcakes!#which is great because i like both! so that works out really well!#well i offered to bring the vanilla cake mix and guess what.#no come on guess#you'll never guess#she said i didn't have to worry about that because she doesn't really like vanilla cupcakes :D#GIRL??? WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION????#AND she said she'd buy the ingredients and waited until today and then had a panic attack and didn't leave the house SO that's gonna cut#into our baking time tomorrow. which honestly I would be thrilled about if her two solutions were either I meet her at the store at#baking o'clock OR she goes shopping first thing and then we still meet at her house at baking o'clock#like no! go buy them! i'll meet you at baking:30#I'll meet you at baking + one hour#i lack the mental capacity for this I stg#i wish she had more than three friends because she's the only friend I see on a regular basis and it's still not nearly enough for her#OOOOH FRIEND H WITH THE CLUTCH! SHE SAYS SHE PREFERS CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES SO WE'RE MAKING BOTH NOW#you know. if we have time. since we have to buy the ingredients first.#it's gonna be a trainwreck i already know it#we baked together one (1) time and that was my birthday cake (and I tried to say I didn't like x flavor and she was like 'but whyyy it's so

Le gasp the bear 🐻 he is gone only corvid with scarf and fish on head corvid remain 😱
and
Lucifer
Tumblr media
(bear cub is taking a nap)
#I JUST WENT THROUGH A VERY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE#so Lucifer got amnesia right? but he remembers that he loves his brothers (and me heheheheh)#and he is like very upfront with his feelings (prob cause he forgot why he hides them all the time) and i aM NOT USED TO IT#anyways while this is going down: Solomon is researching how we can resolve my overwhelming magical energy that is destroying reality#we found out that my power is amplified by having so many powerful demons contracted to me so the solution is to sever our contract#we Very much do NOT want to do this but its looking like our only option#unfortunately the only way we can do that is with a very special knife that needs to be powered by the death of the most powerful demon#....Lucifer. we need to kill Lucifer#WHICH ISNT GONNA FUCKIN HAPPEN OKAY!?!??!?!?!?#but Lucifer overheard Solomon telling me this and he throws him out of my room and is like 'Milo. I love you. So stab me.'#AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#SO HE PUTS THE DAGGER IN MY HAND AND HOLDS IT UP TO HIS CHEST AND I TRIED TO STOP HIM BUT HE SADLY LAUGHS#fortunately Simeon (Lucifer's ex-husband in my headcanon) showed up *just in time* and was like 'Ah no need for that'#and places a ring on my finger and says i am brave :'>#then the ring fucking knocks me out and i meet the archangel Michael in my dream and im gonna fuckin fight this guy just lemme at him#turns out the ring is smth Lucifer wore back when he was an angel and thought to be lost during the War#and it is able to stabilize my powers so no more random lakes of fire appear and whatnot! neat!#and now Solomon figures i can be a sorcerer with him too!!! and Diavolo is gonna throw a party cause no one had to die or break contracts!!#im still stuck on Lucifer gently holding me when i passed out.... hold on im gonna check out what happens if i point the knife at myself#HA he tries to stop me#but if i agree to point the knife at his heart he says 'take care of my brothers for me' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ;-;#very glad there was another way and that Simeon 'borrowed' the ring from Michael to resolve it#its mine forever tho!! I AM FREE TO BITE SOLOMON FOR SCARING ME AND THEN BITE LUCIFER FOR SCARING ME and gently bite Simeon for helping out#naturally i need to communicate i have gone through a life changing journey and figured i would silently change my icon#but cheers for activating the trap and now i get to monologue :>#cozy times
