Selfshippers who ship with weird/unappealing characters. I love you. Like hell yeah you go get with Mr Crocker. Go get with lord faarquad

like literally if i didn’t want to see some weird nonsense i wouldn’t be consuming scifi

You live a better life when you just accept that your comfort character fucking sucks and there's no sympathetic reason or justification for their shitty behaviour, people are flawed, and you look kinda silly when you break your back to try to excuse your favourite character's cruel decisions.

Your favourite character is a hopeless fuckhead sometimes

"Wyll's entrance is too corny!!! Wyll's entrance makes me cringe!!!" You are playing DnD: The Video Game.

I know this is old hat to just about everyone, but I'm more and more enjoying Imogen and Laudna as not just a mirror of the Briarwoods but also, and perhaps even more so, as a foil.

Laudna may be the death magic goth with a necromancer in her head, but out of the two of them, Imogen is the stronger mirror of Delilah. She’s the one with the undead lover, the one prepared to break the world by risking Delilah's return as long as it got her Laudna back, the one with the drive and the thirst for power and knowledge. Laudna meanwhile, while also tempted by power, is mostly just along for the ride, deeply devoted to Imogen over anything or anyone, alive only because Imogen found a way to resurrect her. They have looked each other in the eye, recognised the same seeds of darkness and the possibility of giving in, and said 'Together either way'.

But they are also in many ways a direct subversion of the Briarwoods. Delilah and Sylas both seemed perfectly happy to have made a pact with Vecna and revelled in the power he granted them, even knowing the disaster he would bring and the horrific acts he asked of them. Imogen and Laudna meanwhile, while tempted by power and openly voicing said temptation to each other, actively fight against it. Imogen was prepared to risk Delilah's return for the sake of Laudna's resurrection, but she would've fought her every step of the way. She's tempted by the power and knowledge of Ruidus, but also prepared to give all of it up if it means saving the world, because unlike Delilah she chooses to care about people other than herself and her lover. Laudna may be prepared to follow Imogen into hell itself, but she may also be what would lead her back out, because unlike Sylas she doesn’t just recognise darkness in her lover, she wants to fight it alongside her.

This is what I mean when I say these two hold the potential for great darkness. They wouldn’t function as a mirror and a foil of the most romantically iconic critical role villain duo if they didn't. But holding the potential for darkness and corruption also means holding the potential to resist and fight said darkness at every turn. It gives them the potential to choose kindness and struggle while still keeping a little bit of that darkness in their hearts, because without it, they never would have found each other.

I've got a question to someone more Mathematically Learned than me:

What is the current Edge Of Human Knowledge in regards to the origins and fundamentals of the natural world? What's the current thread that most people are trying to follow to get down to like. The exact reason for the nature of the universe? I've heard that in the first second directly after the big bang, things were quote "a little weird," unquote. And I want to know what that means. I'd like to know what gaps in our knowledge of physics we are most focused on trying to fill right now.

went looking through my drafts and. what do i even say to this.

anyone else question god when they cant be interested in something normal

STILL thinking about that confrontation from earlier. fucking. "what's up kidnapper" and forever not believing bad (and bad lying directly to his face) and then when forever tried to hug him Bad Stepped Back. and then later tonight when bad got lassoed by tubbo and bagi, bad called to forever for help first. and bad showing forever a fake cell and forever telling him that this isn't how they get dapper back and the "you can kidnap me" and bad telling bagi that he's going to keep checking on the appreciation room because forever told him too and. they care about each other SO MUCH but they trust each other SO LITTLE. can anyone hear me look at them. look at them. they've been so dysfunctional but now they're finding something closer to an equilibrium. how long will that last. they've tried and they've failed to kill each other. holding these cubes so fucking gently and then i am putting them in a glass jar and shaking it violently.

i kept seeing interior design posts that irked me a little so i made versions that appeal to me more
