a lot of people are saying edward but i really hope it isn’t. i love edizzy of course but can we allow this man to have his own life outside of ed for one second. it’s what he deserves.
personally i like the idea of it being his mother.

My hot take is that I think Kai did raise nya but he was an objectively bad and lacking parental figure (because he was like 7) who wasn’t able to properly fulfill Nya emotional needs and as a result (as well as the general stress of the situation) nya is as heavily traumatized as Kai.

OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever

'FUUUCK IT WE BALL#so anyway. arthur bennett huh? grizzly says that arthur is reaal fuckin difficult to play. and i SUPER get that. i mean LOOK AT HIM..#grizz often needs a minute to think abt what hes gonna say in a way that matches w that Stoic Personality. which is FAIR but also that#ends up making way for awkward confrontations like: the lady in the parky lot. he took too long to answer and scared her away.& I LOVE THAT#arthur is tragic and sad and cool and stoic but hes ALSO awkward and silly and kinda dumb and short sighted. HE HAS COMPLEXITIES#I LOVE WHEN TTRPG CHARACTERS HAVE A GOOD SET OF SHORTCOMINGS. ESPECIALLY WHEN U FIND THEM ONLY AS U PLAY THEM.#I COULd go on and on saying the same things w different words abt arthurs intriguing and entertaining character but i shall spare u. for no#ILL ALSO MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE HIS FLAVOR THO.. I LOVE TALL HOT BOY WHOS ONE W THE DARKNESS.. I REMEMBER WHEN HE FIRST MENTIONED THE#BADLUCK. N I WAS LIKE OOOHH THATS WHY HIS DESIGN IS SO COOL N CHAOTIC N ASYMMETRICAL. HES UNLUCKY!!! i love love love his design so much...#GRaaauruguguraguhhghghgh what else what else is there for me to spew on abt...i think im reachin a limit here..OH MAGNUS. i hope that#we get to know more abt how magnus and arthur met.. like How they became besties... ouuhh...

I keep thinking about Durge, who, even after defying Bhaal, is never truly free from their father's legacy.
Because yes, the Urge is gone, the cursed blood of Bhaal doesn't call to them anymore. But body remembers, even if mind doesn't. Body knows what it did, it knows what it was created for. It's instinctual, bone-deep reflexes of a person raised to be the perfect murderer. It's little twitches and how easily opponents fall: foes and former allies alike.
It's small glimpses of the past, because mind doesn't remember, but the body DOES. It's the eerie familiarity of darkest corners of Baldur's Gate, it's people recognizing Durge on the streets, people they don't remember but who remember THEM.
It's the feeling of being haunted by your own self.
It's the body of Ketheric, the bloody mess left of Orin, Gortash's lifeless frame. It's the knowledge you're the last one, what this tragic story of conquer started with you and ends with you.
It's the feeling of emptiness where bubbling joy once was, the blood on the blade what brings no feelings. It's being charming, or kind, or honest, or gentle, or honorable, but at the end of the day still being the best in the art of murder - and who are they if not Bhaal's unholy blade?
Godless and fatherless, struggling to reimagine themselves.
Especially when memories come; they never return fully, never in the whole picture. But glimpses, the shards of existence what was once theirs cut deeper than any ritual blade would.
I keep thinking about Durge weighted down by the grief of the world, guilt of the world.
Alone: without a god, a father, a sister, a partner (Gortash, bc these two were absolutely insane for each other).
Alone and with whole life ahead; lost and confused and with hands bloodied.
Hero, people call them. They don't feel like a hero.
#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate spoilers#dark urge#bg3 durge#the 'it started with us in ends with us' narrative is killing me#durge who is a tragic hero who at the end of the day is not the person they started with#and not the amnesiac from the nautilus#but the mix of both#martyr and murderer#savior and monster#also gortash my beloved. I keep having headcanon where Durge and him sworn loyalty to each other before orin lobotomised durge#swore like on infernal pact the ritual whay doesn't allow them betray each other#what links their lives together so they die as one#ultimate trust fall and safety feature#'you can't kill me because it would be killing yourself'#durge convinces Bhaal it's ok bc it only means Gortash and Durge will be the last men standing when the time comes#and when durge kills Gortash they will ki themselves too#making the ultimate last tribute to bhaal#but secretly durge is a survivor#they want to live more than they want to please father#so chaining them and gortash by the pact is a safety measure to make sure they don't kill gortash#bc killing gortash would be killing yourself and the self wants to survive#despite everything#so then in act 3 when durge dies and is reborn Gortash feels it#and when Karlach raises an axe to end up Gortash Durge cries in pain#because you can either kill one or neither#don't mind me I'm just plotting to keep rat coded evil boyfriend of my durge alive#durge has 2 hands he can have TWO rat-coded boyfriends#Astarion upon seeing the pact tattoo over the durge's heart: you too hug#and then Raphael is like 'THIS tattoo is the oath of loyalty actually. the closest thing devils have to a marriage pact'

Patalliro! is fascinating to me because of stuff like this. It's unapologetically gay - even within its anime which aired during primetime hours in 1982 - in a way that many later BL manga would never be, like the ones from the early 2000s which would never dare to call their characters actual homosexuals. Patalliro has actually aged quite well in this regard, there's something comforting about how campy it is.
#i still dont really understand how they got away with this kind of thing honestly#female VAs i get that - but first m/m kiss in an anime in episode THREE?????#theres also the maraich/thomas episode where they are *Both* voiced by women....advanced yuri#patalliro#i love how bancorans gender expression is pretty much explicitly to attract only bishounen#you blushed - so you must not be a girl#etc#i also love how joyful it all is#theres never anything sad or tragic about being gay - only that bancoran is forced to kill the bishounen spies/assassins/etc#when bancoran finds out that gay sex feels good after demian; in the manga he is elated. its basically a positive thing#he awakens to his true power...lol#also notable is that while bishounen youth is glorified maraich is 18#this means it portrays being gay as an adult as normal; not a phase relegated to nostalgic adolescent periods of time#according to the NYT japan's psychiatric body called homosexuality a mental illness until 1995#im NOT going to say patalliro changed that or anything lmao but its just significant to me that banmara get to live their lives happily#even raise children together in the manga....???#especially contrasting that with kaze to ki no uta and other manga of the time (no shade intended)#yaoi#<- for tagging purposes#obviously it also got away with a lot by being a gag manga. but still!#months later edit: want to say im not intending to moralize BL manga from the 2000s either. like gen. no hate on them.#as a gay person i just appreciate when characters who act gay are considered gay textually#and its kind of disheartening how gay-as-identity was treated as something incredulous in those manga a lot of the time#even the mere suggestion of attraction to men as a whole and not just the other male lead...yknow#this post is meant to praise patalliro for being unique in its approach to gay content compared to other titles#ive enjoyed plenty of 2000s yaoi titles despite their shortcomings lol

Every once in a while, I think about how MC and Rime’s dynamic is the funniest and saddest thing ever.
Because…MC stole his life. Then his weapon. Then his job. Then his boyfriend. And then, depending how you play it, MC also steals his heart.

Courtney's video of Amanda and Angela "going live" really unlocked in my brain that Amanda and Angela are most likely consistently doing bits whenever they're around each other, and are just having too much of a blast + egging each other on to bother recording any of it, much less posting it.
Which, excellent for them, I fully approve, but deeply tragic for me, a person who would gladly watch hours of them just dicking around.

Just got this art commission from the amazing @haflacky, for my fic With His Bloodstained Hands.
In it, Izzy and Ed have a more intimate relationship pre-canon, and Izzy's role as someone who commits violence in Ed's name is much more explicit. He often gifts Ed with the severed body parts of men who insult or threaten him, even as he eschews traditional affection. So this time, when kraken!Ed wakes Izzy in the middle of the night, he doesn't cut off any of Izzy's appendages... he asks Izzy to do it for him. And Izzy does.
He'll do anything to reignite the fire within Edward... even if it means using himself as kindling.

It's okay to want to pass or to bind or tuck or things like that, and it's insensitive to imply that trans people doing so is proof they are trying to "conform to cissexism". It is okay to want to transition "traditionally". It is okay to not want that, too. What isn't okay (and will never be okay) is to degrade other people for the choices they make or for the choices they have to make.

diavolo calling ik his daughter feels so much crueler when you realise the ghost of her actual dad is literally there the whole time jhsshdhjsj
im really curious abt ik's story before becoming a demon though
i was thinking about that actually!!! okay so in this au, since the rules about demons and the devildom are different, i also get to make up new lore for how demons are born
so there are natural-born demons and human-born demons, and there's not too much difference apart from the way they're created; natural-born demons just sorta spawn in the devildom, while human-born demons are created from the remains of dead humans by certain scout demons
normally, human-born demons are created by violent/angry/spiteful/vengeful/etc. deaths, and the nature + abilities of the demon depend on the circumstances of their death. ik's death was an accident while playing like regular kids do - which is why she's mostly benign, and has weird cartoonish powers
these sort of deaths are usually left to reapers, but in this case the scout demon took pity and decided to give her a 'second life' of sorts by bringing her back as a demon - though, as is the case with all human-born demons, she doesn't remember her old life at all, and is only vaguely aware of her origin
i'd place her as originating from a few centuries in the past, plus she's used to all archaic magic tech in the devildom, so she is very wowed by human technological advancement. levi shows her super mario and she is totally enthralled
