I was abt to be like hey guys here's the clangen sprites for the main characters of spiraling upwards ^-^ but luckily I caught myself before I accidentally dropped some Massive spoilers by doing so lol. Anyways take Whimsygoose, Pumpkin, and Daisystar instead because they're so cutsies <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
#rat rambles#spiraling upwards#warriors posting#idc if pumpkin has nothing going on except having a wife I Will make her relevant to the plot somehow mark my word#ok ok tbf whimsygoose and pumpkin will likely have similar levels of relevance since theyre both murtlepaw's clanmates#and both get a lil boost since I like them lol#well whimsygoose is the deputy's mate so it's not like he has no reason to come up#daisystar is very much relevant tho even if his screentime is probably going to be a lil limited#mostly because of ~plot reasons~#aka he gets real fucking paranoid over the course of the plot#oh also fun fact whimsygoose is deaf! guy who's always been loud looses ability to tell hes loud thousands found dead#and pumpkin is a lesbian and also my best friend and thats all that truly matters <3#oh unrelated but one of whimsygoose and thistlepeaks's kids ended up named fireice so thats fun#he is another guy who doesnt matter to the plot but I like him anyways he's silly#oh also daisystar is also gay he has a husband 👍#alas not all of the leaders are gay firestar (previously firenip) is alas probably straight#I wanna believe she could be bi or pan but thatd just make me feel more bad for blazebelly girlie was so in love with her#conestar is a lesbian tho and honeystar is. a weird one.#like she technically has a mate kind of but its more of a. coping mechanism for them both than anything?#long story short the clans first medic died a couple moons ago and his medic husband silentfleck and honeystar took it poorly#he was both of their closest friend and neither knew what to do with themselves afterwards#their current relationship is a mix of a rebound and a qpr sort of#theyre depression buddies who constantly worry eachother but know that if they vocalized this the other would mention their worries#andneither of them want to be confronted with their downward spiral directly so they just normalize it for themselves and eachother instead#so this is my long way of saying I have no idea what honeystar's sexuality is Ive thought abt it and I don't know what I wanna do with that#like Im leaning towards aro cause of my aro bias but I almost kinda wanna make her demiro or even pan#it doesn't rly matter to the main story tho so I've been not thinking abt it too hard for now#oh also speaking of aro characters I should mention murtlepaw's name is mispelled on purpose#as a kit murtle met a cat with a nickname and was like I want one of those and then made one up#so they just took turtle and replaced the t to combine it and their deadname

Love that the only character in the archives staff that isn't canonically queer is Sasha (who dies first) but at this point she has so many queer friends its literally impossible for her to be cishet.

people are like the BG3 companions are sooo diverse it's HUGE for video games when there's literally only two LGBTQ+ identities represented like just say irl you think everyone is ~a little bit bi~ and be done games have been doing better representation for literally fifteen years
im someone who finds the concept of 'representation' to be a fundamentally flawed way to engage with media critique and i think the fact that it is the primary lens used to engage with characters sexuality in media has caused a lot of people to sort of miss the forest for the trees in these kinds of discussions.
imo saying 'these characters aren't playersexual theyre all just bi and you're a biphobe for saying otherwise' is pretty much the same level of engaging with a text that 'this female character needs to wear a skimpy outfit because her super power is stronger when her skin is exposed' is. you're saying something that is technically true within the fiction you're being presented but really overlooking an absolutely titanic amount of cultural forces that have come together to influence the result you're seeing, and prioritizing the imagined agency of fictional characters over critiquing the intent of the writers
don't get me wrong i'm not saying that people shouldnt enjoy the fact that these characters are functionally, mechanically bisexual in the game. i dont want to take that away from anyone who gets something out of that. but i do think it's kind of strange how infrequently people discuss the fact that Bisexual becomes just the default character sexuality of romanceable play characters so gamers don't get mad that they can't fuck the 3d model they want to. in function, what you get a lot of the time isn't people going out of their way to meaningfully write a bisexual character but rather people abstaining from writing characters with any true sexual/romantic preference in order to please the larger portion of their consumer base.
i don't think it's really fair to claim that these people must automatically assume everyone in real life is a little bit bi because assuming peoples opinions on sexuality apply to real people the way they apply to fictional characters is bad in either direction. but i do think it's a little bit strange that you can see something where characters are made bisexual for the express purpose of being romantically/sexually available to any type of character you could throw at them in order to maximize the appeal of a commercial product and not even stop to consider whether or not that's a dynamic that's worth critiquing a little. considering how much of the way biphobia manifesting in real life is bi people needing to remind everyone that being bi does not, in fact, automatically make you romantically and sexually available to any conceivable type of person on earth.
anyway i don't think Playersexual characters are necessarily a bad or harmful thing but they're certainly something i don't like. and i certainly think that trying to act like any criticism of it is secret biphobia is pretty ridiculous.

Introduction Post
Hello! I’m Victor, an 18 year old guy super into Incest! Specifically, sibling incest, of all types and genders! I’m Bi with a fem lean, as well as a switch~ So happy to make out with girls, twinks, top pretty little things or be raped by mommies, or even explore each other with my twin!
Oh, and I’m super super slutty and dirty~ Hope to talk with some of y’all, my DMs are always open~
Original posts, as well as reblogs where I add something, are tagged with #vicy speaks
Session: 0541ad524ff67d797ef75acc6734b30f2b82b2d8afc696e52123064104a9260a6f Discord: vicer4life
Snap: vicer4life
Let’s get naughty <3
If I don't respond to one of your asks, assume I'm saving it for later when I'm in a better mood for it! For example, when I don't have energy to dom, I might not answer subby asks until I'm able to~
Note: While I am bi, my type in terms of guys are femboys and twinks. If you are a fairly masc male, I'm not interested in sexting, unless ur good at playing femboy/twink/girl. (And tbh some of y'all guys are insanely good at playing girls so I'm still hella open for that lol, just, yeah) Otherwise, still down to talk and stuff, be friends, hell yeah incest solidarity, just not sext!
LIMITS:
Most of my limits are fairly specific so I didn't think to add this before, but the amount of accidental limit crossings has increased recently due to me not really listing em, so I might as well now. Though I ramble a lot so uhhh theyre going to be under the "Keep Reading"
air deprivation, or at least a focus on it. i got asthma and uh, went through a lot when i was younger, so i really dont like focus on not being able to breathe. not to say that i dont like acts that can technically do that - i love being used as a seat, i love love love having my mouth filled with someone else's tongue, and im happy to impale your face on my cock~ just don't focus on the breathing aspect
choking, for the same reason
romance - to be blunt and honest, I am in an open, romantically exclusive but sexually nonexclusive relationship. I know its kinda not great that i didnt reveal that until now, but i thought it wouldnt help my chances, even if its bad to hide it. But my point is here, I try to separate romantic love and sexual/familial love. I wanna have a fun incest sexytime, not a romantic one. ...if that turns you away tho, i get it. sorry for kinda hiding this.
forehead/cheek kisses - these are too romantic for me. But I am a giant kiss slut~ just on the lips, or other places~
detrans - this just feels conflicting morally for me, even in fantasy. however, y'all are valid, dw <3 its just kinda something that i dont wanna deal with and feel morally conflicted about
scat
snuff
and I might as well end this off with my safeword: Olive! Idk what to really say about it theres my safeword ig
sooo yeah

trans starship anon here im going into specifics
bug: nonbinary but masc presenting. they/he technically but he truly doesn't care, gender doesn't exist on bug world in the same it does to humans. also aroace(spectrum) (buguary qpr realness) and bi
february: straight trans girl!! buguary is also t4t suprise! i think her parents were really supportive growing up, and shes just unapologetically feminine i love her for it
taz: kind of nonbinary kind of gender fluid she doesnt care whats in her pants? a knife. also butch lesbian because i love her. i dont think they've ever been in a relationship really (shes a 16 year old leutenant i dont think shes had that much free time) but if they were to be it would NAWT be a man
up: genders a bit wobbly but mostly masculine. he/him but doesnt really care about pronouns, i think pre-injury he was pretty hegenomic - and also very unconfident in his masculinity. but after his recovery, and after his talk with bug, hes kinda found himself out! Technically cis but literally who cares. also i think hes gay
specs: transfem nonbinary i have never seen a cisgender computer programmer/j. any pronouns but primarily they/she. i think growing up they always had really long hair so people kept mistaking them for a girl and eventually she just stopped correcting people lmaoo. also silly hc: specs was a nickname given as a kid because of their glasses that just kinda stuck. also aroace. maybe lesbian.
krayonder: trans man for sure, he/him. kind of an unrelated headcanon but i think he wears alot of stupid fucking graphic tees (alpha wolf howling at the moon, galaxy space pizza cat etc) and cargo shorts and its horrifying for everyone involved. also bisexual (damn son you get no bitches for real)
tootsie: trans man, he/him but honestly he doesnt give a shit hes just here for a good time. to me, farm planet is actually really accepting gender wise it was pretty chill ! doesnt really label his sexuality at all but i do think hes been attracted to men in the past
mega-girl: technically sexless but uses she/her, im not sure if that counts as being trans but shes gender enough so it counts. surprise tootsie&megagirl are ALSO t4t(ish) get hit with my beam. i think genders a little weird for her because while she "is not a woman" (her words) she is a megaGIRL unit so. im not sure if that means shes programmed with gender or not, either way she is comfortable with she/her pronouns so Shrugs. also sexuality wise she doesnt really label but Technically pan
junior: honestly, token cis man. im sorry hes awful /LH I LOVE HIM. tbh i think he would have to take ALOT of introspection and alot of therapy to even BEGIN to be thinking about his gender. embodiment of that "i might be nonbinary but i have a job so idc about that rn" tweet. he/him but with a bit of self care he/xe 😈 hes also gay but he has a job so he dc about that rn
im normal about starship. theyre also all autistic
yes yes to all of it

The day that people (specifically Lunter shippers) realize that Luz and Hunter are canonically/heavily implied to be siblings is the say I sleep peacefully knowing there's no more drama in this hellish community
...
AND YES I WILL BE WRITING ABOUT HOW THEY ARE TECHNICALLY SIBLINGS
Let's get on with it, shall we? It's relatively short since there's not much to it so that's good!
This whole controversy started in thanks to them in the scene where Luz said "You're family now, Hunter" and the whole damn community went wild debating whether theyre both siblings or not, which the answer is yes, they are, most shippers tend to use Camila's line "I can't believe I'm a mother of six",
Which if you had enough brain cells to notice you're extremely wrong, Camila sees herself as a MOTHER FIGURE to the hexsquad cause she's taking care of them, and not to mention people accusing Lumity as a sibship, which isn't true cause Camila knows they're both dating in the scene where Luz came out as bi and Gus started waving bisexual flags everywhere,
And by you're logic is that if Camila takes care of the whole hexsquad that automatically makes them all related/siblings, and here's the thing, she said six, not one, not two, not three, six, and you know who those SIX supposed "siblings" are? They are Luz, Amity, Willow, Gus, Hunter, and Vee, if you're smart enough to realize LUZ AND HUNTER are still there, and you're logic says ALL OF THEM ARE SIBLINGS, which means therefore LUZ AND AND HUNTER ARE STILL SIBLINGS WHICHEVER WAY YOU PUT IT,
Respectfully stop coming up with excuses and accept the fact they are canonically siblings cause it's not hurting anyone, found family is a good thing and it's not gonna kill you cause Hunter and Luz aren't dating
Come up with as much excuses as you want, you can read how Lunter as a ship doesn't make sense if you scroll down a bit! You're only avoiding the canon cause you're stupid ass can't handle a wlw ship XD

hmmm
vambrose for the ship ask game?
ooh ohh yayayaya
ok um
so this one kinda depends so ill do both
ship first
ambrose deserves to be happy. hes sad and angsty and all he wants is a porcupine haired lil gremlin guy to like him back. also the staging in a word to the wise is SO THEM
Tumblr media
like augh look at that
2. height difference, t4t, uhh they were dormmates freshman year thats just very sweet to me
3. i dont ship them in the context of canon. this is a weird thing i have with ships but basically i mean like. i ship the characters, i think theyd be cute together, exclusively in fan works and aus. i wouldnt be happy if they were together in canon. (mostly for vambrose bc it doesnt really make sense for the story. other ships that i feel this kinda thing for might have other caveats)
ok so dont ship now
vincent is like suuppper into quincy. also, i cant remember if this is technically canon or not but i recall melliotwrites said something about their sexualities. and how quincy being uhh whatever they are bi or pan or masc attracted affirms vincents gender as a nonbinary person, whereas ambrose being gay and refering to vincent as a man does not.
uhh i do like it i just dont ship it really in the context of the canon. but i wouldnt want anything to be changed
i think theyre super cute for like a freshman year qplatonic relationship or something. i think fanfiction writers (me but im lazy) should get on that please <3. uhh yeah a word to the wise is like 70% of the reason i like them

theres like, two levels of “playersexual”.
the first is the authors making all the romance options bi, which. like technically it can often stem from the same mechanical reasoning as “true” playersexuality (omfg im gatekeeping?????), that its easier, more efficient, or more equitable to just have all the options available to any character setup. in that sense theyre absolutely taxonomically related, but from a semantic and ethical point of view it seems kinda dogshit to reduce textually bi (one way or another, theres a lotta ways to do that) people to a mere practical development choice? like dude i think that characters just bisexual its kinda fucking wierd to frame his ability to be attracted to [character in context thats not the pc’s gender] and also romance the player character as some sort of “lazy writing shortcut”.
the second is far more nebulous as it exists more in what is LACKING than what is there. the anomalous ‘real’ “oh actually this was just a studio being either programming/writing lazy or like. genuinely just bizzare on a spiritual level”. skyrim romance is roughly egalitarian in implementation but there is effectively 0 external queers aside from two dead guys on an island and Possibly this one vampire from the morthal quest who seems like shes grooming a child? its a world absent of same-gender relationships but incapable of recognizing the player as anything extraordinary in that respect. romanceable npcs showing attraction to other npcs is rare in general, even, though going back over it in my head my initial presumption of it being completely absent is verifiably false. i think. ANYWAYS this theoretically would also include characters whose textual sexuality CHANGES to match the player character, which -discounting allowances for potential watsonian mischaracterization (i.e. a character being labeled gay by an unreliable commentator in a save in which they end up in a same-gender relationship, and other such things) can show up in really weird ways like ok in stardew valley i’m not actually saying Leah’s ORIENTATION necessarily changes but her ex’s gender specifically changing to match the player is SO FUCKING WIERD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT. LIKE WHAT IS THAT EVEN IMPLYING?! WHUH?!!?
#ITD MAKE SO MUCH MORE SENSE IF THAT PRICK WAS ALWAYS A MAN#LIKE EVEN ASIDE FROM THE ‘BEING A CONSERVATIV-Y BASTARD’ LOOKING FUCKING *ODD* ON THIS SAPPHIC LADY#WHO’D. NOTICE.#IT TAKES ACTIVELY LESS EFFORT#INSTEAD LEAH USED TO DATE LESBIAN BEN SHAPIRO ITS. SO JARRING ITS OK FOR HER PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP TO BE WITH A DUDE THATS FINE#oh also theres monika. shes the third type i guess. shes just completely literal about it#<- i actually don’t agree with that tbh i think framing her love for the player as wholly in-line with any practical means of attraction#defeats some of the point of the story. the affection is parasocial to a saddening extent#unable to see into ‘true’ reality shes instead left trying to chase the shadow of ‘the player’ on the wall of the cave#aware of its falsehood but unable to reach any farther past that fourth wall#in the wake of her realization she’s bound to concede any ‘fictional’ preconceptions of attraction just as she abandoned her preconceptions#of her friends. as people. its all just fluff. set dressing. in the way of her TRUE love. her REAL love.#an ultimate reality that supercedes any mere program or line of text that isn’t aware of it#all this despite her actual -both fictional and practical- inability to REALLY interact with reality on reality’s terms#alienated from her own fictitious existence to the point of manipulating it and abusing it in the style of a ‘real’ author#but still left incapable of actually accessing the agency freedom senses indignities and mortality of REALITY#….. SORRY IM A BIT FUCKED UP OVER DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB STILL I UH. HAVE SOME FEELINGS. THERE.

Earnest question: didn’t neilman say they were asexual? Like it wasn’t presented outright in the text obviously but he said they’re ace and seems to be sticking to that. I’ve seen people on tumblr get upset about “canon sexualities” that were much less “canon”
If they’re not canonically asexual after being described as such by the author (albeit specifically as a means of shaking off gay headcanons said author felt less receptive to)… what character can be meaningfully described as canonically ace in any text/fandom? Only the few characters who have said the word
(Fwiw I’m ace and don’t honestly care if they are or not they can fuck if they want to fan authors can certainly make them do whatever they want… I just think realistically they’re all going to keep moving forward with the nebulously asexual portrayal. They’re not going to say the word in the show, but they’re also not going to describe each other as nonbinary/genderfluid even though that’s also something they are)
i dont think hes said anything except that he wouldnt discount them being asexual, and in the same tweet he said the same abt them being aromantic (and trans) and look how that turned out. he did specifically say the sexless line was not meant to imply asexuality, although i think its very possible it was, at least subconsciously
i also dont think its impossible to make a character ace without saying the word. although people do contort themselves into knots about technicalities. but for example if a character said theyre not interested in sex i would take that as canon asexuality to the same extent i would take "i am asexual", which is to say i would believe them unless there was a seriously compelling reason not to (eg if it came off more like they were repressed or lying or something - which, for the record, is something i would hold "i'm gay" to as well, eg if i think there's an argument to be made the character is actually bi, or straight and trans, or aroace, and doesnt realize it yet)
also like, yeah death of the author and all but neil in particular has been adamant that whatever he says about the characters outside of the text does not matter and is not canon. plus its not even like a clarifying "yeah i was trying to get across that they are asexual" statement, which i might also accept as canon asexuality even if the text was less than clear

immortal guy im already doing a reread. successfully convinced another person to read with the phill "i will marry your mom so we can bcome father and son" screenshot shit bc hes insane and needs to be put down. the moment phill looked at the aquarium at the party during the showdown chapter i knew what wuz gonna happen and i was screaming dont do it at the phone and they meet eyes anyway like in romeo+juliet 1996 which phill guesses previously. im sick. they think theyre subtle.
im pleasantly surprised at how gentle and warm moments there are in the story given the initial intro. moments between chloe & juna, hira & matilda, karl & asha rovoi & chloe ekin & myeol and ofc phill and myeol, despite the pace of the plot it feels very character driven. and also phill phrases everything in the most insane way possible but his internal monologues about myeol are all just "i need to do nice things for him so he will want to stay with me because i am comforted by his company" when u strip away his evil face. guy seriously makes 937203 plans and manipulations just so he could be friends with myeol. alright. I think the balance between myeol and phill's relationship is masterful like despite all of phill's behavior and how he technically holds all the power myeol is aware of it and uses it to manipulate him right back and this push and pull makes them feel like theyre on an even playing field which prevents it from feeling gross and it becomes hilarious instead. its a good read. the specific thing u drew that made me read it were the portraits of the characters specifically the portrait of banachet with the rest of the troubleshooters bc he was just that beautiful. thanks
dude idek how to respond to this bc these are my thoughts 100% exactly and explains everything i love about this comic!!!!!!! yes their dynamic is one of my favorite things i kinda describe it like the best parts about queerbaiting but without the queerbaiting LOL bc it has all the insane subtleties and implications and the tension of not being together but there's 500 lesbians in the story and myeol is bi and phill flirts with guys so you know its all in good faith lol.
the power dynamic IS so funny bc it looks sooo bad to anyone who doesnt know them (like when everyone was side eyeing phill during the trigger dgkljf) but all the insane shit on either side cancels out 😭😭 & i even cant picture them with anyone else like theyre both super lonely and won't let anyone else in in their life and even tho myeol is more sympathetic to immortals he cannot even give a shit enough abt them to remember their faces or remember anyone trying to be friends with him ohh i just love them :)
thank u so much im so happy my art convinced u to read it !!! like those portraits were a love letter to the art and character designs i love how hgg consistently draws distinct and varied characters <3333 AND YA BANACHET RLY IS THAT PRETTY... I SPENT A LONG TIME STUDYING HIM

i wanna say i hate to compare BG3 and DAI buuuuut you know they have similar intentions not including the combat system. theyre both high fantasy RPGs that focus on major story choices/consequences and making a protag that you can shape based on personality options, along with class/race specific effects on the way characters mold with you.
so. i think they can be compared, without any note of the technical advancements from since DAI came out of course.
and i say this just based on my current progress (i guess the first 'part'? i just got to the end of the druid grove stuff). i think the bg3 protag is fine! no issue there really, its different but i like what i can do. but i can feel the issues with romance in this game creeping up, as i had heard some things started before by others... that theres a very quick focus to romance. and honestly.... is it romance even at this starting point? immediately i am just asked about who i want to fuck. i like to fuck, i like the sexual relationships. but i can see where ppl may have their issues here.
on this first celebration with the party members, the woman who i helped do the raid with, who i literally dont know, before i even got to the party was like- i am talking to you in your mind and i want to fuck you in thanks for this. and she is the one character you can just fuck without any relation with. and then i talk to Astarion who is like, who do you want to fuck tonight lol? and even if i hadnt talked w him, every other character there except Gale had the option to suggest i wanted to fuck them. bro i hardly even know these guys still. i want to fuck astarion eventually and im glad he turned me down bc honestly why would he accept?. but shadowheart and laezel were totally up for it!!! and man i hard travelled with laezel bc i dont like her lol.
and listen i am sure i will get to learn way more abt these characters that i romance but the fact i am opened up to the sex option immediately is just. so strange when i compare it to the romances of DAI. i think i could take a few characters who just want sex. thats normal. not everyone wants commitment and i would actually like that nuance. but also, really putting the sex on so quick and so blatantly is a surprise to me even as someone who wants to have sex stuff all the time!! but i like good writing too! and i imagine its even more uncomfy for others who really didnt expect or want that. to just assume you character wants to have sex so fast is weird and the only other option denying everything (no implication you want just romance/are interest but dont want sex) is just wild to me too.
DAI has such well written romances. really. i saw ppl saying they were excited this game would blow bioware's romance writing out of the water but i dont think i can say that at all rn and im not sure this current impression will change enough for me to say otherwise entirely....
this also goes into why "everyone is bi" isnt always good. because i think it takes a lot of potentially personal weight out of the writing. not even in that if one character is gay then there will be oppression angst between them and you for being gay. or that the straight one will voice their straightness in context of gays existing in world. its about how "everyone is bi" isnt actually good, chosen bi rep. its just a game mechanic thrown in to satisfy all ends. we can have bi characters, we just cant have them all being labelled that in order to fill that check mark.
dorian is a really good example in DAI of how a character being strictly gay and also facing in world oppression makes his romance storyline SO good. its so important for sexuality labels to exist bc it makes you an individual of your own. and for it to be EXPRESSED in some form too. a character should be able to voice their thoughst on their unique sexuality when you romance them. but the 'everyone is bi just because' means like no character is every talking about that, let alone in a meaningful way when the reason applies to every other companion.
sorry did not mean for this to become a rant on romances. im still looking forward to the writing that will unfold with these characters but i think its so important to not get lost in the hype (and the hate to DAI? which i think is just hate to bioware really) bc people ALWAYS get to ahead of themself when they hear "you can romance anyone regardless of gender" without thinking twice about whether or not that makes it good writing or rep
