routine post to everyone with unsympathetic mental illnesses like personality disorders etc. I don't care what you've done, I would hold you in my arms

#a lot of talk about Healing is about protecting others/stopping to hurt your loved ones and how you alone are responsible for getting better #but you also deserve support and to forgive yourself #and you are allowed to feel what you feel. and you're allowed to mess up #quoting one again the bard herself. florencr welch. happiness will hit you like a bullet in the back #nor's rambles

thinking about how nameless bard mostly frowns in the boy and the whirlwind cutscene. thinking about how most arts and scenes of venti depict him with a smile. thinking about venti looking in glass windows or the reflection in ponds and lakes, poking at his smile with both index fingers. thinking about venti staring at his own happiness and feeling a sense of wrong about it—this is his friend’s face, yes, but not how his friend smiled. this is wholly venti’s; something he has practiced for years, centuries, to be as perfectly human as possible.

(thinking about how if you break down enough walls, if you get him to laugh just enough, if you squint a little—his smile then would look exactly like his friend’s had. a wide, crooked, lovely thing.)

#hi. sorry. im pretty sure this has been said before by someone #im just thinking about how most arts of nameless bard depict him grinning #and like go bard go you FULLY deserve any amount of happiness and joy given to you i am cheering as loud as possible #but also. thinking. thoughts #and wondering if venti purposefully replaces sullen expressions with upbeats and giggles #if he looks in mirrors and sees a dead eyed bard looking back. if he laughs and says a joke so the smile he gives doesn’t feel as forced #his friend shouldn’t see the world as dull and grey anymore #look at the joy. look how it spreads #isnt it wonderful? and you’re experiencing it too #anyways is it obvious the bards are hitting me with the brainrot bat #(<- just watched an animatic and is feeling Feelings)#lantern says stuff #hmmm

This is the only mention of Quil Ive seen since Act 1 and Im so sad cause much doesnt even come from it, the response you get is "DUH, but no one here wants to here Dragonborn styled music so anyways bye bye"

#I hope theres a least a few more even just tiny possible mentions or lil side references to her-#Cause she deserves it and also because I like angst and having my lad actively struggling with guilt 24/7 in relation to the urge #so mentions of Quil would DEF get him all sad sand weird for a moment #Im sure Alfira has like 100% more references and mentions if shes who you kill #and youd think if I wanted EXTRA angst then killing her would REALLY add to that in so many ways #BUT ITS ALFIRA #I CANT FUCKING KILL HER #IF I CAN KEEP HER HAPPY AND ALIVE AND SAFE THEN IM GONG TO DO EXACTLY THAT #I CAN NOT BE THE ACTIVELY RESPONSIBLE FOR HER HARM #I CANT BARE IT #Baldurs Gate 3 #BG3 #BG3 Spoilers #The Dark Urge #Dark Urge #Durge #Quil #Quil Grootslang #Baldurs Gate 3 spoilers #Im in Act 3 rn and just went down into The Guilds place and theres a dragonborn bard playing off to the side #and I got this option with her #I wanted to pick the option to toss her some gold or silver lmao but I could NOT not make him ask about Quil #also the game glitched out for me during the Durge resisting with a romanced character part cause right after I woke up Astarion #one of the dialogue options that referenced the urge having already made me kill against my will #was me saying I had killed Alfira #even tho she was def not dead and not who I killed lmao #also if yall didnt know btw on the Durge run you can keep Alfira alive then you have to hide and knock her out.#right before doing the long rest that initiates that camp event- and since shes out unavailable now the game sends Quil Grootslang #a different sweet and kind Bard whose on her way to the city and happened upon your camp #so youve gotta kill SOMEONE

I was sketching Ezra backstory stuff and I seem to have ended on some more angsty stuff dated to not long before the campaign began

Note: Elijah is the false name they used while in hiding

Their body was badly scarred before the first time the Regenerate spell was used on them. Needless to say, they were thrilled to no longer look at themself in the mirror to be reminded of the abuse they endured

The little talking bat is Ezra's best friend, a druid who was stuck wildshaped as a bat for 7 years which suffered memory loss and has since got his form and memories back

#ezra stormcrow #tw child abuse #blood #dnd #dungeons and dragons #bard #paladin #my art #there's a reason they used to make sure their arms and back were covered - they wanted to hide it as much as possible #they didn't mind so much scars showing on their chest because it was probably the least scarred area of theirs #but yeah they have been through hell #I'm really hoping for a happy ending for them because they deserve it and I want them to be safe and loved and happy

Just found this blog and these are the most based results of any bracket I've ever seen! So glad all of my Silm peeps are still in! The one poll we're not Doomed in? (No I'm not still mad Maemae lost the miserable little guy bracket in the first round why do you ask?)

Omg that's amazing!!!! Yeah, lots of Silm characters in this bracket, glad to have attracted the Tolkien fans <3

#my sister is a silmarillion fan and she is very happy #and knowing some of these characters they definitely deserve to get a fighting chance in some brackets #(also sorry about no round 4 announcements yet)#(school's been hectic)#(hopefully I'll be able to start 'em up sometime this week tho)#(so stay tuned)#thanks so much for the ask!!#and the meme is 🔥🔥🔥#sparkliest bard bracket #asks #not a poll #silmarillion #favorites

coming out of my baldurs gate 3 delirium (aka i am working a night shift and can't physically play it. at work.) to say that horikoshi. horikoshi when i GET YOU. you are NOT leaving izuku with no quirk and no arms. i am in your walls

#bnha spoilers #also. more evidence that horikoshi read zero-sum game #like come on the twins thing the izuku losing his quirk thing the losing his arm thing the shiggy getting decay from afo thing #TELL ME THE TRUTH HORIKOSHI. DID YOU READ MY FANFIC.#i'm joking of course. he's just done a really good job of foreshadowing through the series. its a marker of an amazing author #and i know that izuku probably won't lose both his arms and his quirk. i fully expect it to be a happy ending in some way shape or form #this is a sixteen year old boy who sacrificed EVERYTHING. more than he ever had to give #and he had less than a year. LESS THAN A YEAR.#sorry i'm already crying thinking about the scene of him holding shigaraki's hand even though it will decay him........#izuku who knows better than ANYONE what shigaraki's power can do.... reaching out to him. caring more about others than about himself.#he's just. he's so good. he's SO GOOD. he deserves the world #tbh i feel like eri HAS to be involved at this point. she's the deus ex machina in all this #that or overhaul #both of their abilities can at least physically restructure izuku's body #it would actually be a very interesting redemption point for overhaul.......#i mean WHY ELSE RESCUE HIM. and why give him THE SAME FUCKING INJURY #what a powerful thing it would be to have eri give overhaul his arms back #and overhaul learning about goodness and forgiveness from this girl he's done nothing but abuse and torture #and saves izuku........#its about ATONEMENT. its about GROWTH. its about IT NEVER BEING TOO LATE.#AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE YOU MY HERO ACADEMIA #... ok. i'm normal. its fine.#on another note #i loved the ending to my first bg3 run which i think i finished Tuesday/Wednesday. i cried.#IMMEDIATELY started a durge run where i'm playing a male human bard instead of the female half-wood elf ranger #i was like 'haha. i'll make a character based on hisoka from hxh! i'm gonna be SOOOO evil! >:))#and guess who still isn't good at being big evil. ME. at worst i'm probably chaotic neutral.#its wild i'm already finding SO MANY new scenes i missed on the first playthrough even though i'm making a lot of the same choices #so it still feels super fun and fresh. more so now because i kind of know the characters and the mechanics better #my current playthrough i'm with lae'zel shadowheart and asterion with no intention of switching out

Venti Build

My first 5 star~

Built him to be a support/sub dps, so pretty straight forward with 4 Viridescent set and The Stringless. Technically I got Skyward Harp so that would be his best weapon, but since I normally use him for support he never uses that.

Pretty happy with this build and only thing that will change is the cons which I'll get over time.

#i have posted a build before but then I found a really good anemo goblet so I had to change it lol #either way pretty happy with this #my bard boi deserves only the best~#genshin #genshin impact #genshin build #venti #genshin venti #barbados

Hi! Finally able to request. I really enjoy your work!

Can you try a creator who use their power through music (like singing or playing instrument) in an Imposter-AU with the Archons? (The voice of the Creator is heard as the sound of nature like wind or water, though. No one knows their true voice)

Thank you so much.

🎄Merry Christmas🎄

Welcome @peaceindreams ! I'll see what I can do with Your Request :D

Also VERY LATE Merry Christmas—I'm writing this a few days after Christmas.

Archons Realize Reader is a MUSICIAN WOAHHH

To be honest, you were kinda just minding your business when the Archons found you and your ever-singing glory.

They SHOOKETH so good job! Let's nitpick at their reactions! >:)

(Warning: Might be OOC!)

Venti

Wisp boi HELLA SHOOKETH. But he also happi boi so good job!

Wants to hear your voice sing and not the wind just continues to gently smack his face. Don't get him wrong, he's probably the only one who can actually listen and understand and compute with what you're singing, but like he really wants to hear your actual voice. He thinks it'll be such a treat!

"Your Graceee...Is there a way to let these humble gods hear your voice? Pleaseee? This bard will make a ballad about it and the world shall start spewing about it right after!~ Hehe, it'll be a big hit, one as grand as your visage!"

He really wants to hear you sing now. Good luck explaining that you got no control over dis :)

Zhongli

GRANDPA ABSOLUTELY SHOOKETH. But he finds it pleasant to see that you're having fun and enjoying your time in Teyvat.

Unlike the airhead beside him, he cannot understand what you are singing, and he feels kinda disappointed that he can't enjoy it too. He would share the memory—

Ahem, anyways. Loves it, 100%. Bro's a huge supporter even though he legit has, like, zero comprehension of the situation. He's also giving Venti some bombasic side-eyes.

"Your Grace, please do not be pressured by this wind god. While it would be a stunning blessing, do NOT feel like you owe us anything." You know those memes where like, one person is forcing someone's head to bow while they bow to apologize to whoever got offended? Yeah, it's that one meme except it's Zhongli making Venti bow for his idiocy.

Grandpa wants to hear your voice fr this time, but bro's not gonna force it upon you. Grandpa will, nevertheless, share the memory over osmanthus wine, because "Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I—"

Ei

Raiden Ei, Raiden Ei...I honestly think she feels like she doesn't DESERVE to hear you sing. Like, she feels like she just intruded on your personal space and she crossed some sort of line.

But the wind's pleasant and all of the surrounding area is practically glowing as you sing. Your voice practically carries throughout the place, becoming the nature, the water, the wind, everything.

"Your Grace, you need not heed to the request at all. We are more blessed to be in your presence enough." As much as she's getting more and more used to the present times of Teyvat, she's still kinda stuck in her ways a little. She still thinks of you highly and does not let her beliefs falter.

She really doesn't think she deserves to hear your voice, but she is also very curious. Never wants to push though because she's old-school.

Puppet Shogun looking at this and going "This will be forever engraved in eternity" as Ei is shaking the Puppet Shogun by the shoulders like "NO, WE SHOULD NOT BE HEARING THIS WHAT KIND OF PROGRAM ARE YOU ON I DID NOT PROGRAM YOU LIKE THIS—"

All in all? Mental crisis! :D

Nahida

Cute god loves you! She loves how the flowers bloom, how the wind flows, how the water speaks—not even analogies can describe the amazingness of it all!

She's grinning so wide with such wholesome-wide eyes, like an actual child discovering music for the first time or smth ykwim? IT'S ADORABLE IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.

"Your Grace...is it possible if we could see this more? You don't have to, of course, but this is really amazing!" She's practically GLOWING with excitement and nervousness. While Nahida wants to hear you sing and see you enjoying your time, she doesn't want to push boundaries!

Safe to say, she'll support whatever your answer will be!

Furina

Girl's flabbergasted. She thinks she might have been sent to both celestia and hell because it was hard to compute whether she was trespassing or if she was being blessed.

Furina is utterly speechless to how your voice alone commands presence and power without even needing to try so hard. Anyone, absolutely anyone, can tell you are truly the Almighty Creator.

Though she's retired from being the Hydro Archon, she still has the slight dramatic flare she has had for 500 years. And she's got to say, she absolutely loved your performance!

"Your Grace, if I could humbly suggest a request on the behest of the follow archons beside me." Furina dramatically bows a little. "May we be humbled by your presence, and continue to gaze upon our unfathomed eyes of what a real god can truly do in the likes of the world? I'm sure this will bring many beautiful pieces of art—be it music, visual arts, dramatic arts, and so on!" Girlie doesn't realize she made a beautiful monologue about your singing on the spot, but one thing's for sure—she loves you and you singing, even if her ears can't understand it. It was still a beautiful piece.

After all, she was the All-Powerful Hydro Archon before she retired. She knows power and art when she sees it, and you bypass all forms of mortal concepts. You're practically her favorite musician!

Please grace her—I mean them—with your singing! It's too beautiful to miss!

Ghost Rebel Side Notes: I am SAD I couldn't finish this when it was still AROUND CHRISTMAS SOBBING, but I hope y'all like this post, though! Hopefully my next post won't take too long—but I'm not gonna say anything because rn I'm EATING those words up like it's for breakfast lol—I'll see you all next time :)

This makes me incredibly angry.

[ID: Screenshots of a Facebook post from user Advocatus Peregrini, which reads:

I was conversing with a fully-grown adult a few days ago, born and educated in the USA, who let this little gem drop:

"Well, it's like Shakespeare said, "Love conquers all!""

I pointed out that Shakespeare never said that, Virgil did, (Eclogues X) and Chaucer after him (Canterbury Tales.)

She said, "Oh I'm sure Shakespeare said that. In Romeo and Juliet!"

I sighed. I've been in that play several times, in different roles, and even directed it. That text does not occur in it.

But the real grind-my-teeth moment here was that if Romeo and Juliet can be said to have a message, it is most certainly not "Love conquers all," seeing as the lovers die by their own hands with a trail of their friends and relations' corpses in their wake.

Neither this fact, nor the fact that I knew the play, nor my explanation that Virgil and Chaucer used the phrase long before Shakespeare's birth dented her determination that "Love conquers all" came from Shakespeare.

"You don't know ALL the versions!" she protested.

All the versions?

Alternative Bard?

With every instinct screaming at me to let the matter drop, warning me that some horror that will not soon be absent from my nightmares waited around the next corner of this conversation. I pressed on.

It was a decision I was soon to regret.

I asked when she had first read "Romeo and Juliet." She said she had only read it once, when she was in Junior High. In the version she was taught, Romeo and Juliet survive, are reconciled with their parents, and are married in the church with their friends Mercutio and Tybalt arm in arm in the wedding party.

"Help me into some house, Benvolio, or I shall faint."

It turned out that her school had their own "version" of Romeo and Juliet, with an "uplifting" ending. This was printed and distributed by a religious education publisher. And it was the only version of the story that she had ever read. Of course she had HEARD other people say that the story was a tragedy, but she just assumed they were wrong.

And she did not see why MY version of Shakespeare should be considered better than HER Shakespeare, which, after all, had a much more wholesome ending.

I explained, in vain, that "my" version is definitive because Shakespeare actually wrote it (quiet, you Oxfordians. Don't make me stop this car) and the message of the play - that when adult stubbornness meets youthful impulsiveness tragedy ensues - is lost in the ersatz, happy-clappy ending.

She said the ending that had been Frankensteined onto Shakespeare's play by the "Christian Education" publisher was better than the original ending, "if the ending is as sad as you say it is."

At this point, I concluded that this was a person who deserved to go through the rest of her life "...safest in shame! being fool'd, by foolery thrive!" I bid her adieu.

After the conversation, I wondered, darkly, if that was to be the fate of Shakespeare, and all other literature if the happy-clappy people get their way - as harmless and "uplifiting" as a cheerleader's chant.

I wondered what these bowdlerizers would do with "Hamlet?" or worse, "Titus Andronicus" or "MacB-" Nothing wholesome, I'm sure. Oh, that's right, what they can't appropriate, they ban. Or burn.

In trying to protect children, we leave them undefended from "...the slings and arrows" that life will no doubt throw their way. Shakespeare raises the issues of tragedy - the fatal flaw, the last turning, the role of fate, as well or better than any author before or since. He is a gentle tutor, much to be preferred over that stern and dangerous teacher, Experientia Inopinatum.

But, as ever, it really isn't about the children. It's about the adults, and their desire to avoid answering difficult questions from agile young minds, who know no fear and swarm like eager flies around questions that have been boggling our best minds for millenia. To answer the questions that literature raises, you have to have thought deeply about them yourself. And that is something that few dare to do.] end id

karlach, as everyone in camp wakes up from a long rest: hey guys! quick question. does anyone else see Alfira dead on the fucking ground over there? yeah. who did that?

astarion: not to point out the obvious but tav is literally covered in blood. im about 99% sure our dagger happy friend killed that bard in cold blood while we slept.

tav, panicking, teary eyed but indeed drenched head to toe in blood: NO! well… yes I did it. but it wasn’t ME. i just woke up and— and—

astarion, with approval: oh no, love. you don’t need to explain it to me. i support you. you SHOULD kill people that aren’t me. you deserve a hobby.

literally every single other person there, with exceeding disapproval and a tone akin to a pet owner scolding a cat for massacring a nest of baby birds: no, tav. we do not kill innocent people. that is not allowed here.
