Flashbacks to old times

Based on this post by @animentality that for some reason took my art block and saved me

Your average meeting of the Dead Three

I think I talked too much about just how grossly they kiss but did not make it clear enough. Right in front of Ketheric's salad, too.

I’m getting a fierce urge to replay Skyrim, and it’s got me thinking about the Thieves Guild questline. It’s one of the best in the game imo, mostly because its major NPCs actually have some depth and backstory - but I’m still sad about the huge amount of potential it has that didn’t really get tapped.

Maybe once I’ve replayed it I’ll think about how I’d properly rewrite the quests themselves, but for now, have a bunch of largely cosmetic changes I’d make to really exploit some of the narrative potential:

When you arrive in Riften, you learn from ambient chatter (and perhaps the conversation with Maul) that the Thieves Guild used to be more like its Oblivion incarnation - humble the rich, support the poor, etc. That ended abruptly 25 years ago, and the guild threw its lot in with the Black-Briars shortly after in an attempt to halt its decline. (The poorer residents, especially the beggars and Black-Briar employees, will lament this change.)

After joining the Guild, you learn from Brynjolf that this change began with Gallus’s death. He’s wistful for those days and for Gallus’s Robin Hood-esque management, and says the Guild’s decline is partly because they once had a small army of invisible spies in the poor, the beggars and the servants who knew the lives of the rich and were always happy to sabotage them. He hopes you can help the Guild become what it once was.

Mercer gets a complete personality change, so that he’s not an immediately unlikeable figure whose betrayal you see coming a mile away. He’s much more charismatic, acting like his change in the Guild’s focus, and his alliance with the Black-Briars, were necessary evils to keep the Guild afloat. He tells you that all he cares about is protecting his own in the Guild, and will do whatever it takes. Players might therefore actually be surprised when he betrays them.

It’s also discussed in ambient chatter that Mercer canonically (according to Gallus’s journal) came from ‘wealthy stock’, and you’ll hear Guild members wondering whether he was actually glad that Gallus’s death gave him a chance to hold onto the Guild’s takings, because he’s used to feeling entitled to money and influence.

it's so funny to me how there's still people watching hotd being like ew incest, my brother in christ you're watching a series about house targaryen

[stormbornstars]

I wrestled with her feelings for Criston the whole time, in the show. I think that she wants to be seen, and ultimately Daemon and Criston Cole are the only two people who really see her. Both of them see her for different reasons. Daemon kind of has the upper hand, and Rhaenyra has the upper hand with Cole, and that turns her on a bit. I think that she genuinely likes him. But I don’t think she would pick him over Daemon, ultimately. — Milly Alcock reflects on “pretty gnarly” incest scene

BACK-BURNER REQUEST FILL #2: The much-loved “You were there” moment from Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis.

for @neilcfreak

In a stunning show of extreme laziness, I used an older piece of mine as the backdrop for this lovely moment, recolored to suit my purposes.

Yet, despite phoning it in on a tin can, I believe the overall effect is a precious one.

I deliberately recolored Lestat and Louis’ clothes in the “past” image to match modern Lestat and Louis, to give the immediate impression that these are indeed the same two men from the 1790s, with more modern clothes and the same old love.

Even Claudia, in the form of a pink lapel flower, still rides on Lestat’s shoulder.  

Truly, the more love grows, the more it stays the same.

(I’m gettin’ real good at bullshitting, huh??)

BACK-BURNER REQUEST FILL #3: “Claudia decorating she and Louis’ hotel room” in Interview with the Vampire.

for @a-king-reciting-hamlet

I was instructed by the requester to “go wild,” and I have.

Usually I put a caption on the picture, but in this case, I couldn’t bear to. I’m awfully tickled by how this came out.

Louis looks like such a lovable, caring, dapper gentleman. I want to suck his cock.

I’ll show myself out.

Armand offers Denis like a charcuterie board to Louis, who has nothing to say, for what could you say to a situation such as this?

I had an epiphany

[stormbornstars]

“*crawls out of grave* Hey can I join your band?”

— Lestat de Lioncourt (via diaphera)

[stormbornstars]

“Oh Louis, Louis. Still whining, Louis. Have you heard enough? I’ve had to listen to that for centuries.” | “Listen, Louis. There’s life in these old hands still. Not quite Furioso. Moderato? Cantabile, perhaps.” | “How can it be?” | “Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on a diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something like himself again. Claudia... You’ve been a very, very, naughty little girl.” | “Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves.”

Imagine a guy takes you to his hotel room then tells u "he's a vampire" and traps u for 16 hours telling you his entire life. I'd simply pass away.
