Beautiful, But Broken

#bg3 #tiefling #tw blood #c: Viivi #so I redid my bg3 character because I wasn't feeling durge that much. So now my sibling does durge and I regular tav Viivi #(changed her to tiefling for funs)#at least I meant to do regular tav but uhhhhh things have gone very unfortunately very fast #anyway. Viivi is an artist; she does painting sculpting poetry and some prose. Experimenting with this and that #unfortunately she is deaf which made making connections a bit hard in the fine arts world #fortunately she has a patreon with one very generous patron (she's fey warlock)✨ who has bestowed some gifts of charms for her #which have opened doors of many art galleries #She's not a fighter so although she is confident in her own lane she is also very aware of her mortality #so she avoided any fights she could #which might have saved her but also got her into the mess of her lifetime #you see she couldn't fight the entire goblin camp and their leaders. She would've just not survived that. So she convinced them #that she is a True Soul. She is good at convincing people. It worked. They thought she is on their side. Good #Halsin also though Viivi was on their side. Halsin attacked Viivi's party. Now Halsin is dead.#So Viivi and her group were still alone deep within enemy fort. Viivi made new plans. She frees the prisoner who says he will warn the grov #Good thinks Viivi now they know to flee. I will go to Minthara and tell we got the information from prisoner of the grove location #she will trust us and we walk off #when we get back to grove they have not fled and Minthara is at the gates #Minthara wants Viivi to sound the horn. Zevlor wants Viivi to sound the horn. Viivi asks Zevlor to please tell this plan in detail.#Zevlor says just blow the horn already. Viivi does that. Minthara thanks Viivi for leaving the gate open as planned #Zevlor does not thank Viivi for that. Viivi is confused as she did not leave the gate open. (for real the damn gate was left open)#So I did a Massacre.#now Karlach is gone Wyll is dead. Lae'zel is also dead #but apparently Minthara is ready to be very loving and sincere with Viivi. The most helpful person she has met in very long time.#Viivi might love her #so that is how she's doing.

thoughts on dave and aradia (<>)?

day 356

BIG fan tbh. in this house we love and respect timerails

truly yall read this log and tell me theyre not cute

#day 356 #year 4 #dave strider #aradia megido #aradave #homestuck #she really saw this kid and was like OH YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR MORTALITY?? :D #boy do i have some relevant life experience and wisdom to impart on THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY #and then she just. very gently and kindly makes the subject more approachable for ghostdave #the pesterlog i linked is literally my FAVORITE aradia moment. to me it is THE character defining moment for god tier aradia #yes she is being kind of ominous and trickstery at first #but it VERY quickly becomes clear shes got genuine concern for this kid she's had very little to do with up until this point #she really wants to connect with him over their shared time aspect stuff #and she really DOES care about how he feels about everything. she wants to help and she wants to put him at ease #because she KNOWS from experience that being dead and having to cope with what that means for you is like VERY UPSETTING AND TRAUMATIC #shes not just like. 'hee hee i think death is great and awesome because im edgy'#shes like 'no dude being dead is scary if you dont have anybody to explain this shit to you. so im going to explain it-'#'-and hopefully by the end of this conversation you will have some new things to feel relief and maybe even joy and excitement about'#'not just in spite of the death thing but BECAUSE of it'#i know shes spooky and has weirdgirl swag and we all love that about her but like #at her core she is a very KIND person. she may occasionally struggle to connect to people through the Death Special Interest Haze #but she WANTS to and when she DOES she is like. a genuinely very warm and comforting presence for her friends #ANYWAY. if andrew hussie or i guess james roach now want to give me an honorary doctorate for my 12+ years of intensive aradia studies #i will be here waiting patiently

If I was Apollos Baby Mama that had to go trough nine months of pregnancy and birth just to find out that Apollo can do it himself I would be FUCKING PISSED

#trails of apollo #apollo percy jackson #rick riordan #lester papadopoulos #kayla knowles #percy jackson universe #I always felt like there should be somehow be a difference between demigods born by mortals and those born by godly parents #because mortal parent demigods have 9 moths of growing as a normal? pregnancy while the others are just snapped in existence?#do this children never experience the trauma of birth? i feel like there should be an andvantage in that #so many questions about Demi god pregnancy #can they even be on existent? should gods just use condoms?#can the get aborted?#can they be miscarriages? stillborns? can those kids get illnesses? like a week heart or lungs?#can they be born disabled?

Hang on I'm curious about something

#i was just talking to corinne about this bc my parents used to take me and my sister pretty regularly as kids #just to walk in nature and learn about history and mortality and respectful stewardship of the dead #we would go out of the way on family trips to go to unique graves/cemeteries. still do in fact!#but then i realized that maybe my experiences are not universal and i was just raised by the addams family so #please vote! reblog if you have more to say!

You know that thing of "If I'm nineteen can I adopt an eighteen year old as like. a friend?" But it's legal adult Luke adopting and fostering all the teenage and preteen TA demigods.

Al doesn't live with his mortal family (on account of his dad being implied to be dead or otherwise out of the picture) and is technically in the foster system (he pulls a Leo and just fucks off to live on his own) so guess what Luke's his legal guardian now.

Hermes is just as much of a deadbeat to Chris as he was to Luke? He's just gonna have to take that oldest-child syndrome to the extreme with the added benefit of legal protection.

Silena's dad is (possibly) busy running his sweet shop business in France? Not to worry, Mr. Beauregard, she has a friendly fellow conveniently in America ready to take her under his wing.

Ethan's mother has never been in his life and his dad is nowhere to be seen? Not anymore, new dads for everyone!

#pjo #luke castellan #alabaster c torrington #alabaster torrington #ethan nakamura #I tend to hc a few of them with dead mortal parents #and unaware or inaccessible extended mortal families #so they do have an opening for a guardian #and Luke has much experience practically raising younger demigods #Q

AU where instead of Spectra, it's Dr. Phil with his stupid little studio he just summons Danny into to bully him on live (ghost) television

#Danny Phantom #every time they go to commercial it just sends Danny back to wherever he got summoned from in Amity #Dr. Phil is obviously a ghost in this. his lair is his studio & his whole thing is basically the same as Spectra #except he doesn't have a licence. he's more obviously fake & a scam artist #but he has a ghost audience so he doesn't need actual therapy experience. he just gangs up on people #& plays the innocent victim just trying to help when Danny is like ''yo what the FUCK dude''#(like the real Dr. Phil)#he does the whole ''we're sending you to therapy camp'' thing & then sends to you like Skulker's island or ghost jail to be hunted for spor #this would suck so bad why am i doing this #the end of the episode is just Spectra coming in like #''i can't fucking believe this hack. absolutely no style whatsoever. at least kill his sister & blame it on him ffs''#yeah Spectra still exists in this universe & she is mortal enemies with Dr. Phil #she hates his absolute lack of style & his tendency to just ''but i'm just a lil guy & it's my birthday & i'm wearing glasses #you wouldn't hit a birthday boy wearing glasses would you'' his way out of situations he himself put himself in

#<3 #trans #the ppl i was talking abt was other trans ppl but yeah literally its cis king kalvin shit #like ppl that discourse about ways to draw top surgery scars always either havent had surgery or r those people tht judge other ppls result #based on how cis and skinny/buff they look #like how dare u look like youve had surgery after having had surgery #it rly is all about wanting the trans experience to be all about misery #no thanks💖#and im not convinced all these people actually have perfectly thin pinstraight scars like no i think they just hate their bodies #like so many of these ppl are truly miserable and a big part of that is cus if they engage with the community in a loving way #theyre scared cis people will take their shit away from them for showing a shred of happiness and like. yeah maybe #but they were always gonna do that #how about u organise with ur people and take part in mutual aid and stop seeing diying as a mortal sin and maybe youll calm down #ur never gonna find peace in this life if u think the only way u can exist is if the government allows u to

fun fact: Raiden bottomed in their first time.

#I do not accept criticism #den made him experience wonders #also learned raiden is loud in bed #which was such a turn on for chaos man #yes first time was messy and sloppy #but what can you expect from two virgins #lots of chuckles when something that was supposed to be sexy wasn't #and smiling #and staring #way too much staring #that's the ramble for today fellas #den “raycoon”#raiden #lord raiden #mk11 raiden #mk #mortal kombat #mk headcanons

every once in a while I read the wikipedia page for Rabies again and I get the Fear of God instilled in me

#we should have a day to remember all the people who died from rabies because holy fucking shit #I cannot overstate how miserable and sad and scary of an experience that is #rabies is such a specific fear of mine because not only is horrific and disorienting and very painful whilst you’re totally concious #There’s no. fucking. cure hell there’s barely even a treatment.#rabies legitimately has an >99% mortality rate #that’s fucking insane #we can treat cancer better then we can treat rabies #anyways. guess who freaked themselves out again #it’s the disease where genuinely the most anyone could ever do for you is contain you and sedate you and sit with you for a while

Apparently cooking up a hellspawn one shot 🙏

#im obsessed with them #and the dynamic of the immortal falling in love with the mortal whose time is coming dangerously close to an end #her finding the strength to keep fighting to hold onto her future with him just a little longer #astarion finding the strength to accompany her to hell with confidence #bc he isnt going to spend his first moments of freedom mourning the woman he loves #when he could be spending that time with her making do with impossible odds like #they've faced the impossible before multiple times together already #and now she isnt alone and he will make damn well sure she never is #and like karlach MELTING to his love language #she's starved for touch and he is all romantic touch and just #he's that cat that took a minute to warm up but then became a lap cat and now demands lap time at all times #and karlach is just #she needs to be loved in a way that respects that she never wants to experience that profound loneliness again #bc it was 10 years of not being able to trust anyone #and the only friend being someone whose friendship came at the cost of karlach suffering in some way #anyways now im thinking about wyll and how these three would be a hilarious polycule #astarion is their princess

how the fuck do you have a whole region of the country where it doesn't storm

that doesn't make sense

weather doesn't do that

#HI I JUST FOUND OUT THE PNW HAS RAIN BUT NOT THUNDERSTORMS #HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HAPPEN #RAIN ALMOST ALWAYS COMES WITH A LIGHTSHOW AND A CONCERT HERE #how do y'all just... NOT experience the fury of the skies every couple of weeks #the strange magic that keeps you safe standing on the porch while you watch the trees bend and twist #the terror of hearing a tree snap outside your front door #the wonder of watching lighting spiral through the clouds #dancing streaks of purple and yellow and white and blue #the knowledge that You Are Very Small and Very Mortal and the World Is Very Large #how do y'all not have that #what foolish acts of hubris fill your reckless hearts if not the urge to run headlong into the wind and laugh #what phenomenal acts of uncaring power keep that hubris in check if not watching a tree the size of your house tip over and snap like a twi

remembering tonight "变得不适应因为它们原本来自江河大海世上本不应该有池塘" (said by a monk character) and thinking about the sea being repeatedly suggested to be the place with the last traces of lxy - and llh - in this world

#rough tl: 'they found themselves out of place bc they came from the rivers and sea. there ought not to be ponds in the world to begin with'#(it's just going home)#lz 1994 is not a perfect film to me but it's got some banger lines that GET IT.#once again this is not anything new i'm saying about lhl/llh but everyday i ruminate and think. oh they understand OKAY.#they know what they're doing. it's all in the narrative and the motifs #mainstream cnet reading of lhl/llh has always taken a buddhist lens. and thinking about that one cfan who specifically said chan/zen:#the journey of liberating yourself is. smth you can attain in ordinary mortal life but it's also smth that warrants continuous reiteration #it rings so true to lxy's life. you think you've shed pretensions of your old life and indeed you have gained new perspective and clarity #until it stops serving you and you realise it's not enough and it's time to move again #if the idea of llh is built on the denial of the idea of lxy #then towards the end of the show lxy realises this distinction is one-sided and imagined #if what 'llh' had offered to him is the taste of liberation and freedom then clearly it had run its course. face it. it's time to move #he experiments with his identities like he experiments with his cooking. the last one's alr good enough. why stick to it #anw there's no coherence in this post. just tacking thoughts all to this like a board so that i'll eventually write a proper post. maybe #lhlmeta #lhl #my posts #GOOD NIGHT IT'S 2AM jfc not again
