I've seen a lot of people talk about how the game doesn't give you any leeway when you play The Dark Urge, how it makes it very clear that Durge was A Bad Person, but I haven't seen it pointed out that Sceleritas seems VERY well versed in gaslighting the hell out of them and steering Durge away from any doubt or guilt in regards to their actions. Makes me think that they've probably had those types of conversations before because Durge actually always had a soft spot, only it got smaller and smaller in time. I have not had the opportunity to see the Heal cutscene yet, but I've got the butler in my camp now and he had some interesting things to say, like

[Durge: Can you tell me the worst thing I ever did?

Sceleritas Fel: There was one time you gave a beggar some coin while we were en route to the Devil's Fee.

Sceleritas Fel: You didn't kick him or spot on him or anything! I was so shocked I almost fainted!

Sceleritas Fel: I still have nightmares about it to this day. But I'm sure you only did so to lower the suspicions of the Flaming Fist. Surely?]

and it struck me because tossing a coin to a beggar is a bit of a thoughtless act isn't it? You don't put much thought into it, you just see someone in need and you do it. Out of empathy, generosity, something The Murder Incarnate should not be capable of. Sceleritas' uncertainty of Durge's reasoning for it totally convinces me it was NOT intentional. A simple act of kindness that slipped out.

ALSO

[Sceleritas Fel: The only way for a Butler to die is if we are not of use to our Master. But you have always needed abundant assistance.]

They always needed abundant assistance. Why? Because they kept slipping out of Bhaal's grasp? We know they did at least once, with Gortash. Maybe it was not the first time, maybe there are more "Letters of Forgiveness" tucked away somewhere.

To me pre-tadpole Durge is just terribly mindbroken and indoctrinated person hooked onto the sense of safety, purpose and acceptance of their dark side that the cultists and their father give them. Yeah they enjoy murder, gore and all that. That's the curse of their blood, but I don't think they were ever entirely consumed by it. Morality, guilt and empathy have always been there on the edge of their mind. Losing their memories (depending on player choices I know, but bear with me) was what they needed for them to be finally brought forward.

I've made two Halsin and Tav sketches this week and I'm working on digitally colouring them, as I don't think I like them enough to post as they are, but this one I like very much :3

few extra tentacles? doesn't matter. gale is just excited to learn more about his squid spouse

I'm going to expose some of my delusions here:

Arashi is an OC of mine, but I also use him as my TWST Ramshackle OC... He was actually ORIGINALLY a TWST OC that I made into an OC with proper lore and stuff in my own personal stories (namely FTW) <3 but the TWST version of him I keep very close to my heart <3

I'm quite. Obsessed. With Leona. So that led to a lot of Thoughts™ of Leona x Arashi (LeoAra). Are they just friends? Or something more?? Who knows 😏

I hope to expand on Arashi's TWST version some day! I don't usually pair OC x Canon but this one is just. Ugh. UGH. My delusions. Guilty pleasure.

Since rin alr inspected readers pussy, why dont we give sae a shot lol

OHHHHHHHHHHH sae's so much worse than rin :(

cw: pussy inspections, overstimulation. fem reader. characters are aged up in their mid 20's.

he's so teasing and slow. takes his time prodding, touching, crooking his finger in different ways, then adding one or two more, then moves to tasting u instead or maybe just toying with ur clit :/ giving it a pinch to see if you're still going to squeal and mewl the same way u used to months ago. has an insufferable smirk on his face the entire time - but his eyes are soft, enamored bc no matter how long he's away for, your body still reacts to him the same way. you will always be waitin for him, spread out and watching with hopeful eyes, pushing past your limits like a good girl - just to satisfy him and prove that you love him so, so much :(

prob ends up cumming in his pants as he does it .......... oh lawd he just gets so desperate - but he has to check up on u first, make sure his girl's been on her best behavior 4 him :( he goes at it for hours, two or three, you can't rly tell - but you're so swollen and throbbing by the end of it, overstimulated until there are dried tears on your cheeks, bottom lip bleeding from gnawing at it so forcefully. he's just as breathless as you are by the time he's done, has this gorgeous flush spread along his sun kissed skin, pupils blown wide behind thick lashes. fuck. you've done so good, angel. he crawls on top of you, grabs your face in large hands as he brushes hair out of your eyes and presses a kiss to your forehead. so, so good. want you t' take care of me now. can you do that? yeah? that's my girl.

"I want your quiet, your screaming and thrashing The salt on your lips and the hands that God gave you And I want your violence, your silent sedation Your moon eyes, your telescope, morbid fixation"

For God so loved the world, he drowned them all slowly, one by one, over 40 days, that they could witness each other struggle, suffer and finally succumb to the cold, dark, rising waters, because of how he made them, that he should have something entertaining to watch. Amen.

❤️❤️❤️

D'ALIA LIVEQ [ffxiv] — LOVE THAT LASTS

love unconditional, love unfailing. you love no matter what happens because you believe in the best – of you, and them. it will hurt and it will fail you, but this love tastes so sweet – you can never believe that it bitters sometimes. the way you choose to love unconditionally is incredible.

KAI AMHI [swtor] — LOVE THAT HEALS

your love is healing. it burns you with every bit of your soul, but you choose to heal, nevertheless. you are so, so, so strong and i hope you know that. i send you peace. i send you calm. i hope things will become better for you in time, just as you have made others better in time as well.

MALENA SHEPARD [mass effect] — LOVE THAT PROTECTS

you love so fiercely, with every fibre of your being. maybe you were wounded by love in the past; such that you choose to love and love and love so wonderfully that the next person who comes into your life never doubts that they are loved by you.

EVIE THIERRY [bloomic/resi evil] — LOVE THAT STRENGTHENS

you make sure that people know that they are loved, and you give them strength when they need it the most. this is an ability that is rare; the love that you hold speaks wonders of yourself. i hope you're doing alright. isn't it exhausting always being the bigger person?

LON LAURIER [call of cthulhu] — LOVE THAT CALMS

this is sweet. i hope you know that you make others feel at ease around you. you're a gem, a blessing, a treasure – and you should know it. it's comfortable loving you. it's a privilege to be around you and to be let into your world.

about unconditional love; sometimes i have to remind myself how lucky i am to have my best friend of 10+ years. consistent communication throughout that time, even with long distance after they moved 2 years later. we love each other very deeply, and if its not unconditional, then i dont know what is. i have rocky relationships with my parents, and their love does not feel safe, so having my best friend and meeting them at a young age (middle school) was definitely the universe throwing me a bone lol. and we didn’t realize when we first met just how important we would end up being to each other. but now we just see each other and know each other so intimately. ive learned so much about myself and navigating relationships because of our friendship. even when we disagree, its hard to take it personal because we have this mutual understanding that we are both operating from a place of true love for one another. i truly wish you and everyone gets to experience a love like this someday. its amazing. and it exists!

so very happy for you anon !! i do really hope i get to experience something similar to this one day

⟢ highlight of the hour: the good bad mother [5/14] ⟣

homecoming

IDEK KNOW I JUST SAW A TIKTOK VIDEO HE WAS CRYING KINDA HARD IVE NEVER EVER SEEN HIM ACTUALLY CRY LIKE WTH IM NOT OKAY IM CRYING TOO RN

yeah ive seen it now and 😭 it hit me that ive never actually like... properly seen him cry? and to see him crying so much during his ending ment utterly breaks my heart

carats are so important to him, everyone. he loves us all so much, and to have seen that love repaid in horrid words and hateful actions... well, that would hurt anyone, and joshua is just so good so it must have hurt him even more. please be kind to him, please trust him, please love him because he loves you all so, so much.

there are songs ive cried to but only one that had me outright heavily sobbing, ugly salty globs of tears streaming down my face while choking back thick wails in my throat, and that was euthanasia by will wood

this chart except my below-mediocre ability to draw didnt stop me from doing whatever i want

i'm glad that we've chosen to celebrate the (possibly imaginary) version of ellie that has good hygiene and not the version of ellie that picked up a fucking hoodie off the ground and had to sniff it in order to determine if it was clean before proceeding to put it on her body (which it probably wasn't) (it's also just the fact that that fucking hoodie could've had anything on it too) (could've had the literal remnants of a fucking clicker on it) (just rotting on her goddamn floor)
