rewatched goncharov last night and im down on my knees foaming at the mouth bc in the market sofia said 'all memory is treachery' and the last thing katya says to her is 'i wonder how you will remember me'
for the amount of time i spend thinking about erika ishii, i do not post about them NEARLY enough
everything i've ever seen them in, they have been fully dialed in. they understand the genre, they understand the character they're playing, and they NEVER. FUCKING. MISS
my current dnd character is actually based on multiple characters of erika's that i enjoy. my character is a witch (like ame of worlds beyond number fame [thank you to the witch class playtest]) but she is also a brewer who grows weed and shrooms, and deals them, and does them (and her personality is very much modeled off of danielle barkstock in dimension 20's the seven)
i feel that many of my favorite moments from erika are often focused on other characters. but many of those character moments would not have been possible without erika's incredible roleplay and sense for storytelling
and when the moment IS focused on erika's character? spellbinding. groundbreaking. from ame talking to orima in the overgrown shrine to danielle getting a nat 20 at the masquerade ball, i always fall into the scene and feel it so deeply due to erika's skill and poise and commitment to the story being told
tldr i think erika ishii is incredibly talented and wonderful
Had to sketch out the closing moments from Chapter 13.
Wow that really is an unlucky number, hey Dee?
I have been obsessed with @remedyturtles' fic Fire Fight.
Seriously if you haven't already go give it a read. They are absolutely killing it and the last chapter has left me in pieces, said pieces are still on the edge of my seat though.
hey all! i wrote a what-if character study & action fic for if king fought sanji instead of zoro during the raid on onigashima. i'd really love if you gave it a read! thanks so much!
There needs to be a scientific study done on how Rockstar Games' Arthur Morgan is able to provoke the most earth shattering emotions I didn't even know I had in me
Going to be making stickers and posters and spreading this around my town hopefully soon. the green square is going to have a QR code that will have a bunch of resources and ways to help. Iv gathered some of my own but if anyone has resources they think would be helpful or have suggestions on ways to best do this (its just me and my sister) id really appreciate the help.
I think everyone is doing Austria a disservice when they write him as a prudish blushing flower, and not as a manipulative bitch who has mastered weaponized sexuality. YES he's an uptight snob, but when you look at the history of Austria's military alliances there is a lot of calculated moves based around arranged unions instead of (or to subdue) all out wars. It's much more fun imo to see Roderich as someone who can seduce you into a strategic marriage for the sake of saving his own ass.
So since demon Ragatha is cat-coded, does she knock over things intentionally? Like I can see her swatting something with her hands for attention, but I can also picture her just kinda turning around and accidentally knocking a glass over with her ass since she’s so thick lmao.
obviously !!! shes a bitch on purpose, she wants nun pomnis attention 24/7 becaus3 why would nun pomni chopse to get on her kne3s to pray when she coukd be on her knees for othet things !!! teuly terrible for demon ragatha, so she has to get her attentoon somehow

If you want further evidence of Ed being fully cognizant of what Izzy did to him and to Stede, let us take his comment that Izzy's leg is "up in leg heaven."
This line recalls Izzy's insistence the Ed murder Stede and send him to "doggy heaven." It was a breaking point, leading to Ed's confession of his father's murder, and then to Izzy himself attempting to kill Stede. It relates Ed's physical violence against Izzy to the violence of trying to remove Stede.
Their conversation goes on:
"Have you come to take the other one?"
"I think one's quite enough."
Izzy did try to take something intrinsic to Ed, and that was "quite enough." He justifies having Stede shot by firing squad: "This is a humane way of ending it. It's quick, it's clean. Edward, you know that." He's blind to Ed's suffering, and is fully expecting Ed to agree with him. He's removing a healthy limb, ripping something away that's an intrinsic part of Ed's self, and saying that it's for Ed's own good.
"I think one's quite enough" is a reminder of that moment. It is quite enough to have a part of himself ripped away for no reason, and now Izzy has experienced that too.
In both instances, Izzy does fail to kill Stede, but the trauma he inflicts on Ed still leaves a mark. During the duel, Ed fully shuts down, clinging to the rigging and rocking himself back and forth. He only starts to recover when he realizes Stede has survived. In the firing squad scene, he panics until he finally shouts "act of grace." He only recovers when he realizes that Stede is going to live.
But now there's no act of grace. Stede is gone, and Ed is fully preparing himself to die. In the depths as he is, Ed wants to see Izzy panic. He wants to see him shut down. He wants him to feel a fraction of the pain he felt when Izzy tried to sever Stede from him.
It’s very much “You took him from me. Now just kill me.”
