“To be honest, I feel a little out of place here.” I glanced around, catching the stares of a few guests–men and women. “It feels like everyone knows I’m dirt poor.” “You think they’re staring at you because you’re poor?” He buried a smirk in his drink and tipped back a long swill that emptied the glass. His jaw flexed with the clenching of his teeth as he swallowed. “The wealthy possess an insatiable appetite for the rare and priceless. They stare because you’re the only thing worth staring at.”

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?
sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy
no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. ❤️ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 12 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 12 spoilers#also love how it complements deuce's magic! they are two of a kind ❤️♠️#i do think bet the limit fits the 'uno reverse card' description more though#like...okay they haven't really said much on how joker snatch works#(literally ace went 'we'll talk about it later')#but i think it's not supposed to be inherently retaliatory if that makes sense#the japanese is something like 'put an ace up my sleeve'#which implies to me that it's not really an in-the-moment thing? i think he can steal it and hold on to it for a while probably#like he might be able to snatch it and then use it on someone else later rather than it being reflected back on the original caster#versus deuce's being that he punches you back with your own punch (and/or other various punches he's acquired)#(a connoisseur of fine punches)#i am 100% guessing though so who knows! we will find out later i presume#now the only one left to get their um is grim maybe 👀#(i mean i would also love to see some staff ums HEY TWST THAT WOULD BE COOL)#(but like. narratively speaking and all)#oh and maybe crowley's depending on how plot-important he actually ends up being#what if it turns out nothing's going on with crowley and he's actually completely irrelevant#he tears his mask off and he's just some random dude who has zero idea of what's happening#nobody's been orchestrating shit#everyone's just been getting radioactive poisoning from the stone adeuce replaced in the chandelier back in the prologue#this was all a cautionary tale about getting the blot levels in your school's hvac system regularly checked

timebomb arcane spinoff but its no longer the gritty action show we’ve all been watching its a comedy where jinx shows up in front of ekko like “boo! im not dead but dont tell vi…” and ekko has to deal with trying to date his friend’s sister while also pretending shes dead. “i miss her so much, ekko,” vi says. ekko nods solemnly. jinx is hiding on the ceiling. they have a date planned in two hours. what will he do now.
#timebomb#arcane#arcane spoilers#i dont want to cry anymore i want to cringe in secondhand embarrassment at ekko failing every deception check vi throws at him#jinx and cait will not make it easier#and then he has a beautiful side plot with sevika and the firelights about reestablishing zaun and about community#and jinx is pops in like ��hey i think my sister saw me at the store hide me NOW’

Don't test me, Bestie!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#nie huaisang#jiang cheng#lan qiren#It's been a long time since we last saw NHS! Welcome back bestie!#I do not know if it was the sleep deprivation or just my regular mush filled brain -#but something about Nie Huaisang showing up in the middle of the siege made me *howl* with laughter.#It's such a 'What the hell is he doing there? *When* the hell did he get here???" moment. And it's so layered!#Because there are two sides of what's happening here. A first time listener/reader has to assume he was dragged into the conflict.#He is not a fighter! He's the indecisive headshaker! He should be at home painting his fans! (<-first time listener voice)#So it immediately feels like the author really needed a bus driver for the plot - or something more is going on.#And something more is indeed going on! Brilliant writing trick to bring back NHS as someone who feels just so out of place.#And oh my god. The way he non-subtly pulls a 'Woah what a cool cave! That we should all get into! Now!'#Bastard was batting his eyelashes and twirling his hair with great speed and force to keep rerolling his persuasion check.#His end game approches and he's here to make sure it falls into place - without breaking character.#The next match WILL be taking place inside of this cave and you WILL all be in attendance!

Thinking about the fact that, to pull Gale from the stone and get him in the game at all, you have to decide to try to touch an extremely dangerous looking swirling mass of unstable magic. Something that is, objectively, a terrible idea
Like, the options it gives you are to either touch the sigil or leave, and if you leave you just... don't get Gale in the party
You have to take the risk. You have to let your curiosity override your common sense. You have to look at this unstable, possibly dangerous malfunctioning magic sigil and go "...Ok, but what if I poke it?"
In short, to get Gale in your party, you have to do exactly what he would in that situation, and indulge in a moment of reckless curiosity. And I just think that's delightful
#meta#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#i'm positive this has all been said before but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#on a meta-gaming level of course it's just a matter of committing to the bit#the equivalent of that time in an actual dnd game when i said ''idk guys this sounds like a plot hook. we should probably go check it out''#but on a watsonian/character level? objectively not a great choice safety-wise#my husband for instance completely missed gale at first because he went ''...i'm not touching that thing it seems dangerous''#and idk. i just kinda love that for him. perfect introduction. nice little litmus test for if you can handle his chaos lol

Summer vacation, 4am.
Tons of easter eggs in this one! Click the image to find them (and for better quality ofc)
Close ups and process shots under the cut, description in alt text

#it's all post canon of course#btw you can't see but the paper on the floor has an episode description written on it#it's ep 53.5 which I made up. what's the plot you ask? pure fluff and highschool shenanigans. these kids deserve it#check out Taylor's Matryoshka shirt and Linc's Garfield pullover :3#also the building on the right may or may not be a Sonic's distribution center#I love being not-usamerican and just going on google streetview to research the San Dimas area.. looking at parking lots going ''ah! I see'#also#this one took me literal months... the cart's perspective was so hard to get right#so I just sat and stared at it for a couple minutes - added a couple of lines and erased some others - and then closed off my sketchbook lo#dndads#dungeons and daddies#dndaddies#dndads s2#scary marlowe#lincon li wilson#link li wilson#normal oak#normally oak swallows garcia#normal oak garcia#taylor swift dungeons and daddies#taylor swift dndads#taylor swift not that one#my art#yuviur

I accidentally got really into X-Men lately, and I'm not immune to... them. 🥺❤️
#x-men#xmen#rogue#gambit#remy lebeau#anna marie lebeau#romy#listen#all I was gonna do was watch x-men 97#but a couple of episodes in I realized I should probably rewatch the original animated series#because I hadn't seen it since I was a kid and I didn't remember much#(also let's face it - kid me was way too stupid to understand the plot anyway)#(I just watched it because I thought the x-men were cool)#and then after rewatching the original series + 97#I didn't know what else to watch so I just watched x-men evolution#and then I found a bunch of 500+ pages 'essential x-men' collections at the thrift store#and was like WELP MIGHT AS WELL GET THESE#and also why don't I check out what comics the local library has?#(turns out a decent amount)#ANYWAY#here I am#in x-men hell

just saw my first fanart of the whole veilguard team with only davrin conspicuously missing for no reason and let me be absolutely clear that if that keeps happening like it kept happening to wyll we have to start killing people. i don’t care whether the art is good or funny or whatever. do not spread that shit around
#the way i was mad about something else and then saw this. cant stand it here!#and no it was not for plot reasons i checked.

Nothing like falling ass over tea-kettle into a twenty year old fandom.
It's like you're following a cat into an abandoned mansion and you round a corner and there's a five star buffett and people vibing with champagne flutes in their hands.
#house md#hilson#they're just so cromchy?#when I finish shoe in *checks watch* 2-5 years it's on#hilson longfic already plotted out in my mind#when astarion is done with therapy you're next *gregory*#why do I have this pathological desire to psychologically break asshole characters to a degree where the have to deal with their trauma#dr house#james wilson#gregory house

The game has been designing appealing enough grades, shapes and varieties of energon and metal. Unfortunately 99% of the metals are all silver/grey, so it’s very. Boring. But I can improvise. It doesn’t need to be THAT convincing.

On my way of tracing every tiniest appearance of Senator Shockwave👍
Which…there wasn’t a lot. But there was more than I remembered and expected
#it’s kinda funny and tragic how much sense his character makes before the empurata and shadowplay#after the empurata he turned into a plot device#maccadam#shockwave#senator shockwave#rotating that one panel in my head#(checks the screenshots)#the one where we learn that#Roller went to Jiaxus academy and was like ‘hey your teach wants to steal the Matrix from the government’#and Shockwave’s students IMMEDIATELY went ‘YEAH SURE WE WANT TO HELP LET’S COMMIT CRIME AND BLASPHEMY’#and then proceeded to steal the fucking MATRIX because ‘yeah Shockwave asked:D’#I wish there was more attention paid to Shockwave and his students#……of course all the interesting thoughts ended up being in the tags……I should start just screenshoting the tags and putting them in the post#bruh
