#anyway. nice to make a video again

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

i tried to play into tumblr's automatic video looping but you can also watch it on youtube with subtitles for the dialogue, it's not that important, it's more about the idea of the loop than the experience

[misternibbs]

MET ALEX BRIGHTMAN 💞

Easily the Nicest, Sweetest person ever!! I can’t believe it’s only been a day since it happened.

Mentioned Spamalot being my first Broadway show! And he happily replied “omg, you have to see more, please!” And wrote “find your grail!” While grinning ear to ear bc he’s the best.

- “OMG SCHMIGADOON??!” Along with “Pugsley! No one ever mentions him!” 😭🫶

I regret not recording our whole meeting, but he was really Excited by everything I brought !!

I should just make a whole rant about it all. but he was SO fun to talk to, despite the nerves!!

Been thinking a lot lately about Blake's abuse arc, specifically the part where she breaks down immediately after killing Adam. It's a direct parallel to Astarion from BG3, but while I view his breakdown as cathartic, hers I can't

Spoilers for Astarion’s story under the cut

1: Build Up

Astarion told us what Cazador did to him, his voice alone conveying how severely he's affected by it, and we know how Astarion views him. Logistics wise, vampire lords are extremely difficult to kill but to Astarion, who's been under Cazador’s control for centuries, we might as well be taking on a god or even the universe itself! He's terrified to the point of regression, which is agonizing to witness because he came so far from his Act 1 self and is trying so hard to be better, to be truly free

On the other hand, Blake has nothing to say about Adam and even less about their time together. We have no idea of the abuse (mental, physical, and/or emotional) she had to endure and eventually overcome. There's no emotional momentum to carry us through their final confrontation. The fight feels tacked on, like a box to be checked off rather than an earned conclusion to a main character's arc

2: Aftermath

After the deed is done, we have an opportunity to talk to Astarion about how he's feeling, and later that night, we have his personal quest's concluding cutscene where he speaks even more about both his past and his desires for the future. There's proper closure for him and the audience

Blake gets a fade to black and nothing about Adam or her killing him is ever brought up. Does anyone besides Yang even know it happened? I doubt it

3: Breakdown

Astarion’s breakdown happens unexpectedly. He was so adamant that he'd be jubilant, that killing Cazador would be the best day of his life. But, upon seeing the man who tormented him for centuries twitching and bleeding, he sinks to his knees and cries. For who he was, who he could have been, the bittersweet taste of freedom in shadows, the absurd fact that freedom had been only a few stabs away all this time... Astarion feels everything in this moment, and the only thing he can do is let it out

Blake cries call Yang to comfort her, but her sobs are accompanied by her insisting she won't break her promise, she won't run away. Her killing Adam means nothing because she is still scared of not being worthy of love. Her arc is not only incomplete but regressing. Blake never rises to face personal conflict head on. She shrinks in on herself when things get hard. She's still running away, just emotionally rather than physically

It's genuinely distressing to compare the two and see just how shafted Blake's story is. In a way, she's a tragedy in the same way Ascended Astarion is. By never learning they are worthy of love by simply being themselves, they take on a role they think will earn it and lose themselves in the process

this isn't intended to be a judgment on anyone in particular, but I'm surprised on how few people in the cccc fandom write image descriptions for their art considering the existence of a character who would realistically need to use them {whether you interpret heart as low vision or light sensitive or fully blind} it's just kind of ironic how the characters in the media couldn't even access the content made for it

anyways, if you have the ability to write image descriptions for your work, I highly recommend doing it! it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it :-)

as much as I am enjoying Kingdom Come Deliverance, I am losing my patience with it a lil bit because of the save system. The game doesn't allow me to save whenever i want to like most RPGs, I need to gather these "saving schnapps" and there aren't many/enough so i don't want to waste them. But this means whenever I get attacked on the road and die, I lose entire hours of progress. This is bullshit tbh. Since I started this game, most quests I had to do 2-3 times... just redoing every dialogue etc. If this continues , completing this game will take a million hours. Maybe I will have to regularly quit the game and restart, just because at least it saves when we quit the game.

Shapey Puppington

Obsessed with his mother and always defers to her despite his seemingly strong and stubborn personality, unconsciously makes messes even though he purports to need things tidy, talks a lot and very loudly in a way where it's hard to engage with him (talking 'at' not 'with' you), reveals very little of his own personality and seems to more parrot things others say, doesn't ever want children because his wife would be "distracted" by them, hates alcohol but is almost always drinking milk, hates his father (or says he does), struggles with his faith but pretends to be devoutly religious, still throws tantrums which his wife cleans up as he's throwing them so it's like nothing happened, calls his wife 'mine' as in "me and mine" or "mine's the same way" to the point where it's unclear if that's her name or not, doesn't recognize her as looking exactly like Bloberta, had a bad relationship with Orel as a teenager but they're better now, protective over Block who he calls his little brother, always frowning and usually complaining, holds his wife's wrist or grabs at her dress when he isn't looking at her so she stays nearby, struggles with feelings of inadequacy and loneliness that he doesn't know how to remedy.

I certainly have my own concerns about the treatment of moo deng but um. well i think some of you may just be racist

[justyourtypicalwriter]

Might write a Stan actor oneshot at some point once summer starts because it just hit me that this summer is the last year I’ll be an actress for my theater company, the one I’ve been with for seven going on eight years and I find it absolutely insane. Like…I’ll be a fucking director of some sort next year which is INSANE. And idk I feel like my feelings towards this are very ugly sentimental and Stan Marsh coded lmfaoo

[shuploc]

Hey Shuploc! Did you start posting on TikTok? I was just double checking cuz I was worried someone was online pretending to be you. They just posted your Miguel polaroid picture 

Oh, that was me! I made an account a little while back cuz I was afraid someone might snatch up my username, but mainly because so many people kept telling me they had seen my art being reposted and had been trying to find the original artist, which... felt pretty awful lmao.

I honestly didn't even know tiktok had a photo option, so I never considered posting on there cuz I thought it was just all video content, but I was wrong! Thank you so much for reaching out though and for asking, that really means a lot! 🥹❤️
