I really like changing roles! 😌 redraw

hc: drinking DU blood can grant Astarion some kind of a buff, like one of an Elixir of Bloodlust for example.

You caged me and then you called me crazy, I am what I am 'cause you trained me, So who's afraid of me? Well, you should be…

If you want earnestness in art then sometimes it's going to be cringe and sometimes it's going to be pretentious

#kill the part of you that cringes

you cannot headcanon your way out of overt thematic structures on which the entire narrative is built

*grabbing mlm shippers by the shoulders* guys nobody needs to be the twink. nobody needs to be the sub. nobody needs to be the femboy. they can both be big fat hairy men who bask in each others masculinity or they can both be unspeakable monstrous creatures with inhuman genitalia it’s okay I’m holding your hand. Let me show you the way

all fanfiction is funnier and sexier and vastly better-written when you read it at three in the morning, in the dark, lying on your side, tucked into bed, with screen rotate turned off. that’s just how it works. that’s just facts.

#bonus points is you have work or class in the morning

"shipping and blorbofication are not inherently at odds with understanding a story's deep themes" and "some people can't grasp the themes of a story because they never learned how to engage with stories outside of the lens of shipping and blorbofication" are two statements that can coexist

The incubus thing (6/23) yeah it's 23 parts in total, hang in there guys. But yeah pretty soon we're going to start separating the censored version from the uncensored one on patreon. If you wanna see early acess to the pages, some wips and the uncensored version, go to patreon!

"No one remembered my birthday-" Well, but did YOU tell anyone it was coming up and you wanted to celebrate it with them?

"I wish someone would see through it when I tell people I'm fine-" Well, but have YOU considered not lying when people ask you how you're doing?

"I am so resentful of my friend because they keep doing this thing that really bothers me-" Well, but have YOU directly communicated that the thing is bothering you?

"I am burning out because my friend keeps expecting me to help them with serious struggles-" Well, but have YOU tried to establish the boundaries you need to feel okay?

"No one ever asks me about this thing I really care about-" Well, but have YOU brought it up yourself?

"I miss my friend but they haven't texted me-" Well, but have YOU been reaching out to them?

Sometimes people are mean, uncaring assholes, in which case you get to be mad. But sometimes you just need to communicate better. Try communication before you assume someone doesn't care!

kitten i have to be honest your misunderstanding of what 'death of the author' actually means is getting embarassing and mommy would prefer if you posted less or maybe attended some classes on literary analysis
