Person about to torture me: I'm gonna make your greatest fears real

Me: heaven's real and my dogs are going to spend entire with the human they love the most and it's not me

Me: *inconsolable sobbing*

Torturer: no dude I was gonna cut of some toes or something calm down

Me: but what if they chose me and I have to spend eternity knowing someone in my family doesn't get to spend eternity with the pets?

Me: *screaming*

I want all bagina fans to know that while I do not take an active role in shipping it, when I see your posts about them and the gay shit they're doing I aggressively go aaAWWWWWWW and I am rooting for them from the sidelines

Wyvern the pup looks So Much Better after a bath. Allergens appear down but we’re both experiencing some throat restriction. It’s hard to tell how much is Kennel Funk he distributed around the house that we’re trying to eradicate.

I’ve got allergy testing on Tuesday and my betrothed is aiming to get some soon. It’s possible we’re more reactive to dust and mold than dogs and cats and that’s why the home space is rough. Not making any calls for at least another week.

The Last Kingdom Season 1 + tumblr

people are discoursing about the laios and shiro fight bc that was always going to happen but i do hope that wave crests quickly and we can all come to see it as what it is: literally one of the best written fights between two people who are both entirely justified in their actions and acting without any malice or cruelty of all time

"I'll never find love-" "dating so difficult nowadays-" "It's so hard-" "I can't-" You're literally hetero and cisgender I don't wanna fucking hear from you

Half-drow Tav, seeing Astarian: classic good looks, white hair, red eyes. let me guess: you're half-drow?

Astarian: you could not be more wrong, but im delighted you were thinking of me

He became more mature, his smile grew colder and his choice of diversions more elaborate

My first WOTR playthrough is finally finished! Yay to me and Ilka.

Sadly I had to keep both Regill and Daeran on the bench, since I know full well that they are both never leaving my party in all the future playthroughs and, well, I need to save some content for those.

So now instead of doing a responsible thing (that being "design and portrait for my already though-out new Commander") I'm drawing Daeran because I just can't hold back any longer.

Would u rather be the first love they can’t be with but never get over or the rebound they stay with but only really settle for

OKAY SO

I'll be done posting New Wave soon-ish. But I have a problem, which is that I'm wrapping up a new Batman fic that's distressingly long. I was planning on posting the Moon Knight fic after New Wave, but I'm kind of riding a Batman train right now, so I'm not sure and I was thinking of posting that one instead and post MK later.

I thought I'd ask you guys? Both of these fics are basically done, although the Batman one needs some heavy edits.

I'm also serious about the looking at requests thing, I get unbelievably annoying if I'm not working on a current project and I need ideas. I'm also very easily egged on.

Why is prioritising either mental health vs what you want so hard ???

It's not a direct one-to-one since Moe is firmly on the side of The Power of Friendship, but I do think it has the exact energy as The Devil from The Bible (Shadow fandub) when pressed a little too much and a mask slips

well. i finished ch 17 of hi3. but at what cost

Full disclosure, this is a long one. It's also a vent post. I'm mainly writing this out to help get the thoughts and feelings regarding this kind of organized and out of my head, makes dealing with them just a little easier. Maybe it'll help you put to words your own thoughts & feelings on this kinda shit, too, and if it does, I'm glad my screaming into the void at least helped out someone other than myself! After all, if anything I say, write, or do ends up helping at least one other person, then maybe I'm doing something right :]

Sometimes having long-time special interests in an ongoing franchise FUCKING SUCKS. Perfect example - I am both a big Halo nerd, and really enjoy the overaching lore of Bungie's connected worlds (with how Marathon, Pathways into Darkness, Myth, Destiny, and even the ways Halo originally connected before it had to become its own thing thanks to Microsoft). Here are the ways that currently sucks:

The state of Halo Infinite, the most recent Halo game, both currently and at launch. At launch, you had a buggy mess, with multiplayer that barely functioned, lacking feature parity (even just on the multiplayer side of things, not counting the campaign) with Halo Reach, a game from 2010. Currently, 343i has admittedly fixed a lot of the launch issues - there's more customization than the game has ever had before (still not as good as Reach's customization imo, but at this point I've given up hope on any multiplayer AAA game having that level of customization for free ever again), the desync issues (in my experience) are no longer happening, and it has the most powerful Forge mode in any Halo game to date. The flip side of that, though? Egregiously horrendous monetization, an armor core and coating system that both hurt the customization more than help, and a drip-feed of content with little to no communication from 343 on anything past the most recent update. Not to mention the issues that come from a focus on "Live Service" bullshit.

The issues at 343 Industries itself, which come part and parcel with the massive issues related to Microsoft as a company. Massive megacorporation, horrible management, staff getting screwed over, crunch culture, and more - it just goes on and on.

Halo 5, despite its generally negative reception, is horrendously inaccessible to those of us that want to experience it as a piece of history and/or try out the multiplayer. A perfect example of how little companies care about game preservation, despite the decent track record 343i has had in that respect thanks to the Master Chief Collection, its PC release and addition of Halo Reach, and the efforts to find, occasionally recreate from almost nothing, and implement lost & cut content in the MCC titles.

Being a fan of Bungie's overarching stuff... really bad when you are at PEAK investment into their stuff, namely my Destiny 2 hyperfixation, and they not only announce that their new Marathon game is going to be a fucking EXTRACTION SHOOTER, and thus unlikely to have one of the most interesting things about Marathon in it (that being its lore) while also being very hard to get into thanks to people treating that kind of game as a massive sweat-fest, but also suddenly lay off a bunch of employees (when previously they had a good track record of treating employees decently...) due to Square Enix levels of profit overestimations of Lightfall, the BEST SELLING DESTINY EXPANSION EVER only getting 45% of the expected sales. Because why be realistic, right? Just fuck over employees, that certainly won't hurt us in the end!

The fact that, despite ALL OF THIS and my moral convictions against the shitty nature of this stuff, my dumbass brain still wants me to just spend spend spend on it anyway because of how much of a special interest Halo & the Bungie lore are to me - it almost hurts. I generally prefer fantasy stuff, but I can't stop myself from loving the lore and stories associated with this stuff. I have to fight myself every goddamn time I have money to not fall into the traps. It's easier with Destiny - I uninstalled it, replaced my PvE needs with Warframe and Risk of Rain 2, replaced my PvP needs with Halo Infinite, and just keep up with the story from a distance. But now that Halo Infinite is back in my life? I love the gameplay, hell I'd go as far as to say it has some of the strongest gameplay in the series (though some modes could use a bit more work, for example the Infection mode just isn't as fun as the Infection from Halo Reach), but the monetization just... AAAARGH it hurts me that I want to spend on it, both for customization and to have little goals to work towards in the (thankfully well-implemented due to them being available eternally) battle passes.

I just want to be able to love something that's been so central to me for so long - I played a cracked version of the CE PC demo for countless hours growing up, to the point that to this day I know the mission Silent Cartographer back to front from memory & could do it in my sleep, and associate Blood Gulch with countless memories of Halo's multiplayer from how often I'd play it with my sister, and to add onto all of that Halo Reach is one of my favorite games ever made, period - without caveats and moral hangups. I just want to love something without justifying it every time I think of it, both to myself and others.

I know this is a massively first-world issue, having the luxury to whine about my Favorite Things going through years and years of getting fucked by their own successes driving them into corporatism, but it still sucks. Obviously not as much as other issues both myself and others deal with, and DEFINITELY not as much as the horrible shit people are enduring in several parts of the world, but just enough for me to want/need to vent about how much corporations like to shit on the little rays of sunshine that we use to feel better about life.
