there are TWO TADPOLED BARDS running WILD over the sword coast and nobody knows what they will do next LEAST OF ALL the bards themselves

larian giving us crossplay means @neraiutsuze and i have finally been able to live our dreams of making Ryse and Tilly's joint adventures happen in real time (we are currently midway through the gauntlet of shar. and these doodles are only a small taste of the chaos that has been created.)

Tilly (red-haired halfling) = mine, Ryse (blue scarfed tiefling) = @neraiutsuze's

Our shadows haunt our “Happily Ever After”

[handdrawnfantasma]

Y'all remember that Ryan Sinclair encouraged his best friend to seek therapy? He saw how lonely his friend was and he was determined to help him in the only way he could before hopping back onto the Tardis.

Even in its smaller moments and lesser talked-about episodes...Thirteen's era was so deeply compassionate.

Here I was remembering Can You Hear Me before this rewatch of mine for the fingers lodged in people's ears while they had nightmares and I was laughing about it. They still had fun with that part but they used the rest of that episode to write a love letter to humanity.

Yaz wanting to give up and the vagueness they approached that moment with opens the proverbial door for us to see ourselves in her spot no matter who we are; scared, angry, desperate. Someone came along and believed in her. She finds that woman and gives her the coin they bet on her that day. God that moment made me cry. That was so beautiful.

Graham even just sharing his fear of remission with the Doctor is a lovely moment. The Doctor didn't know what could be said to truly reassure someone that such a fate didn't await them but Graham and the Doctor have such a rapport...albeit subtle it's still present. Graham was comforted to know she'd heard him and wanted to help. No words were going to make those fears go away. But her intent to help in spite of that is still communicated and understood. Graham's quiet laugh acknowledges so much.

I would be so bold as to say, the writing is what helped those subtle moments shine. They were intentional and thematic in their character development.

silly goofy 13th doctor and her chickens <333

And I guess I'll just miss her

Even though she isn't even really gone

But things are just different

Ever since she cut her blue hair off

have come to a realisation this morning after over 15 years of writing AUs about why i end up writing AUs so much and ofc decided i must immediately tell the people in my computer about it but it’s because. are you ready for this.

it’s because i can’t write meta.

like some people write these huge beautiful insightful meta posts about themes and narratives and i can’t do that!! i have always been a No Thoughts Just Vibes kinda person and yet i am still Haunted by the Themes and Narratives and so the only way i can explore the themes and narratives is to write a million fusion AUs about it instead. like the AU setting is providing the same function for me as the academic-style rigour of meta analysis in that it provides a certain distance from the source material and allows aspects of it to be examined through a different lens that talks back to the source text if that makes sense???

i feel like with some of my AUs it’s a lot more obvious than with others that this is what i am trying to achieve but like, it’s always there somehow, thanks for coming to my tedtalk

That part of us is over.

-Voices-

A collection of portraits depicting the voices from Slay the Princess, taking inspiration from the style of the video game Disco Elysium! The Voice of the Hero, a knight, an iconic silhouette against a luminant halo. A color palette of black, blue, and teal.

The Voice of the Hunted, a beast trying to protect its heart from danger, represented here as a crosshair.

The Voice of the Smitten, the knife wound letting loose lovely streams of swirling bodily juices into the air.

The Voice of the Cold, dark, and angular. Something completely unafraid to kill.

The Voice of the Skeptic, attempting to fly, tearing himself away from chains and what looks like his own body.

The Voice of the Paranoid, Frantic and multi-eyed, clutching at a wound.

The Voice of the Contrarian, flying in stark contrast to the others, glowing instead of secluded, a mischievous fairy or will o' the wisp, instead of a grotesque figure.

The Voice of the Broken, shattered and leaking. A humanoid figure is no longer recognizable.

The Voice of the Stubborn, Fiery eyes, and big meaty claws. The brushwork is chaotic.

The Voice of the Cheated, smoke leaking from puncture wounds still embedded within him. He's holding a cigar, too; probably where all the smoke is coming from.

The Voice of the Opportunist, carrying multiple masks on his person, and wielding a poorly concealed knife.

And finally (for now) The Long Quiet itself, the night sky, swirling sigils blurred in the dark.

as you may have guessed i have been playing Slay The Princess for the first time this week (i know, i'm late to the party) and i must speak my truth: the Shifting Mound would understand on an intimate and fundamental level my compulsive need to create a million AUs for all my blorbos so that i may fully know and understand them, having considered all of the new facets of them that are only revealed by placing them in new possibilities and contexts

enough of ppl asking, if beak how kiss? you cowards lack imagination. easy:
