In a world where Ra's al ghul is a better grandfather, Damian visits his bases sometimes. And one day he posts a video of him hanging out in the pool.

Dami: hello followers, Grayson suggested to me I'd post about details from my personal life that do not partain to my pets, I am now relaxing in my grandfathers' pool as part of our 'bonding time' grandfather, say hello

*The camera moves to show Ra's lounging on a pool chair in swimtrunks*

Ra's: to who?

Damian, from off camera:my followers

Ra's: already ammassing a base of followers? I am impressed, grandson.

The internet goes NUTS

Ra's deep voice, his standoffish attitude, his salt and pepper hair, his physique

They immidiately brand him a GILF

The batkids make it their mission to not let Damian know (while still making fun of him ofc)

Gustadolph, Thalas, and Erika Concept Art

Concept/reference art for Gustadolph, Erika, and Thalas! Translation notes and image id under the cut.

Translation notes:

"Will you kindly keep your illegitmate hands off of me?!" was probably more directly translated like, "You're a bastard, stop existing in my vicinity." But it was a question and also used some polite language, so I changed the wording around a little to suit that.

"Hair tufts, eyes, and lips are all in the same place" was one I felt pretty uncertain about and ended up going a lot off of context. It definitely seemed to be saying something about hair, and was probably saying something about lips and eyes, but there might have been something about eyebrows or something else in there too.

"Wham" was a mimetic word that meant something more like "violent; holding nothing back."

Image ID:

[id: The first two out of the five images are the full Japanese pages of concept art for Gustadolph, Thalas, and Erika. The first page has their official canon portraits. In the third image, which is a translation of the notes on the first, there is an illustrator's note that reads, "Gustadolph is a beautiful yet terrifying man with long, silver hair. Personally, I find that his design puts me at ease since he has more of a restrained royal look instead of the typical stylish villain look. (Tatsuaki Urushihara)" and another illustrator's note that reads, "I remember thinking the three Aesfrost siblings were spot on from the first rough draft. Erika has a cat-like quality to her. (Yasuaki Arai)"

The fourth and fifth image are translations of the second page. The top half of the page is titled "Commander of Country B" and has several images of Gustadolph. One has a caption pointing to his ruff collar that says, "bird feathers." Another two notes next to his face read, "He's beautiful but rather cold…" and "He's overflowing with dangerous charisma." The second half of the page has pictures of Thalas and Erika. It's titled "Commander of Country B's Younger Sister and Brother". There is a drawing of Erika having thrown Frederica to the floor. Erika's dialogue reads, "Will you kindly get your illegitimate hands off of me?!" and there is a note next to Frederica that reads, "Liberty gets hit and falls down." In another drawing Thalas is holding a sword, both he and the sword spattered with blood. His dialogue reads, "I suppose even the lowly masses have some red blood in their veins…" There is a note between the two of them that reads, "The character sheet said they were an unlikely duo, but since I had already done 'Consortium Merchants' and 'C1 and C2 House Heads,' I decided to draw them as twins." Another note between mirroring portraits of Thalas and Erika's reads, "Hair tufts, eyes, and lips are all in the same place." There are also some small copies of the word "whisper" between them. There is an illustrator's note at the bottom that reads, "Erika and Thalas's setting and plotline never changed much, and even in the trial version they had a nice, simple bully feel to them that made them easy to design. (Tatsuaki Urushihara)" /end id]

I think someone should just throw all of the BG3 companions into Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Just take the post-canon generally considered "good" endings and throw em in there.

Why? Because it would be hilarious to me and also that's like the one official module that goes up to level 20.

I won't lie and say the only thing I can think of is the team trying to kill an angry mechanical purple worm while screeching at Gale because "what do you mean we're in Waterdeep and you know the bastard who owns this death trap?? I was perfectly alright in the damn Underdark thank you very much I did not sign up for this"

The Belmont clan theme songs

Leon: Heroic, gothic, elegant. The theme of a holy knight. Trevor: "Wait what is tha- hoLY SHIT RUNRUNRUN"-Every monster who ever encounter him, ever (+Hector) Christopher: Hey nice piano- oh. Hold on. It kinda- it kinda slaps ?? Simon: He sure is going to kick some vampire ass tonight. Doesn't strike fear quite like Trevor's theme, though. Juste: If an empty cathedral was a hunter with a whip and a theme. Richter: Not just heroic. This is the theme of a hunter who enjoys his job a lot. More than he should be. Julius: Yeah, you- you may want to step aside for that one.

Robert and Sandy again.

Met this guy in a dream. Arlecchino Von-Pierre, the creepy royal court jester (physiomagically altered assassin) who shadowed and regularly threatened to kill me out of suspicion that I was a threat to the throne. Changed his tune to a VERY different direction after we "compared" our teeth games. Still stalking me, but for slightly less malevolent reasons!

Mina's incredible (and underrated) detective prowess would be very useful I bet. Put her on the helm Integra, Van Helsing praised her brains as being above everyone's including himself for a reason.

I honestly can't guess what the chemistry between Integra and Mina would be. Integra doesn't really click with me as a classically heroic character, for all that she does focus on saving humanity from the undead via Alucard and her forces, being the Boss Lady etc etc. She's miles away from being as insidious as an Amanda Waller, but...

The hotel. The fucking hotel will never leave me.

Yes, the order went directly against 'soldiers of the enemy,' but those soldiers had been lied to about who and what they were charging into. Which was obvious even without being a fly on the wall to know their higher-ups had fed them some BS to march them into death and win their own power grab from Millennium. She didn't tell Alucard to 'make it quick' or even just to 'neutralize.' She told him to search and destroy. Folding to Alucard's egging and negging to seem like a Worthy War Commander in the grand scheme~ of the plot

She's not heartless, exactly, but she is arctic and surprisingly quick to breeze past the loss of lives that aren't under her direct care/command. While she might respect Mina's abilities and investigative skills--I wouldn't be surprised if Mina could intuit Millennium's endgame well before the climax could happen--Integra inherited none of her ancestor's warm regard, supposing Abraham van Hel(l)sing had any of the original's tenderness in him (50/50 considering this takes place in aggro horror territory). We can't even say if this universe's Mina played any big role in cornering Dracula; she might just have been a targeted damsel.

All that said, I think Integra would see Mina as another time-displaced bleeding heart with a few useful skills, same as Jonathan. Someone to be an ally at best, a liability at worst. So I don't see her handing over any reins or offering to be co-girlbosses any time soon :c

Can we get humanized vamp meta 👀

Sure thing! I usually always draw him with long nails and ears because I already headcanon him as a vampire, but adding red eyes makes it all the better, right?

And that’s totally wine in his hand. What else could it possibly be?

for my next move i'm going to think about spike being made by angel vs spike being made by dru and why i think both of these scenarios are actually sexy enough that it's hard to choose. it is important that regardless of who did the actual literal deed spike is like that because of both of them because

a) subsuming himself into his relationship with Dru and making it his whole identity is a key aspect of their whole deal. insofar as he's steering this ship it's a 24/7 themed party cruise celebrating the specialest girl in the world.

b) every time spike is a thorn in angel's side it's gotta be a believable own goal. i should be able to sit back and laugh at him knowing he did this to himself.

So far in BG3 I have two save files and two Tavs, Elio and Lilac. Elio is between acts 1 and 2 (just got done at the créche and monastery,) and Lilac is very early act 1, i haven’t even gotten to the grove with her. Elio is a tiefling draconic bloodline sorcerer, and is a nice and competent young man who rolls decently and helps people where he can. Lilac is a drow bard who once rolled so shittily that I had to reload my save file because I accidentally killed Gale.

Okay but it would be cool if that war Fukuchi received warning about actually happened. Like he received a warning and was scheming this whole mess of a situation to stop it but what if that exact plan of his is precisely what leads to the conflict? What if the warning was sent as a desperate hope that something would change, that he'd make a better plan... but no. It was always going to happen. There was no escape. Ever.

Louis is Marilyn Monroe mixed with Morticia Addams. To me.
