You know what's hilarious, if Ludinus was indeed a young man being traumatized by the end of the Calamity. Deirta Thelyss is almost certainly older than he is.

This is not relevant but I think Essek should bring this up, just to be a bitch about it.

#for the purposes of showing my work: a beacon was found by leylas kryn 1200 years ago.#she was considered enough of a cultural leader or influence to convince people to follow her ergo likely an adult of some standing.#the other umavi of the ruling dens (aka deirta and abrianna) are suggested to have been around at the time as well #ludinus would be at most 1000 years old. they're all like. at LEAST 1400 mentally if not physically.#and that's the LOW estimate #as always how long was the calamity. are the umavi actually pre-calamity. that would be SO funny to me.#(pre-calamity and pre-divergence are different for the record.)#ludinus da'leth ain't SHIT #leylas kryn escaped lolth lived through the calamity and has gone through seven rebirths. ludinus WISHES #if ANYONE deserves to have beef with lolth it's leylas kryn for the record. I mean she does. canonically. BUT HERS IS MOST VALID #anyway as always the dynasty best country <3 #if there are 99 ludinus haters I'm one of them if there's one it's me if there are none I've left this earth etc etc #he's just SO fun to hate and I do not respect him in the slightest nor do I think he deserves respect or validation.#I think he should get fucking sucked into a dark star and never be heard from again xoxo :3 #cr spoilers #essek thelyss

this is a Princes in the Tower and Edward of Lancaster stan account btw

#I do not want to hear one word against Edward of Lancaster #not a single one #least of all if you're a yorkist stan who thinks that edmund of rutland's death in battle at 17 by his father's enemies is a tragedy #while simultaneously thinking that edward of lancaster's death in battle at the same age by HIS father's enemies is a cause of celebration #deeply embarrassing and unserious behaviour #and where to even start with how the majority of self-declared 'Yorkists' treat the Princes in the Tower 🤡#I've truly never seen anything like it #first they try to vilify two children (including a literal 9-year-old) for being 'Woodvilles'#which in their minds is synonymous to greed/duplicity/ambition/unworthiness aka how they view the Princes' mother #then they try to deny that their vaunted Richard III murdered them even though they're perfectly willing to believe John murdered Arthur #then they try to argue that Richard III was just 'a man of his times' and downplay his actions even though his usurpation and deposition #of his pre-teen nephews absolutely broke all parameters of politically and personally acceptable behaviour in medieval England #then they try to argue that ACTUALLY the Princes don't matter and we shouldn't spend so much time talking about them #(says the person who spends all their time trying to convince people on the internet that Richard didn't kill them)#then they try to argue that finding out what happened to the Princes shouldn't affect our reading of Richard III and won't change how we #view his reign #even though it absolutely affected how contemporaries viewed him and was what provoked opposition to his rule #like. what is happening here. where is this one-sided beef against a long-dead 12-year-old and 9-year-old coming from?#are you okay?

Remember when the Audrey villain leaks came out and then we saw the offical c4 and s3 outfit reveals and saw the c4 on the isle and the s3 in an auradon forest and we all thought there had been some sort of time spell where Audrey twisted time and instead of the c4 coming to Auradon it was the s3 so Audrey stayed with Ben and there was a whole adventue to fix the timeline? no? just me? okay

#i remember the theories they were so interesting #like how dr. Facilier ran an underground motorrace and the vks had to race to get the key to Hades lair #and we all thought Harry and Gil had dyed their hair blue becuase that reveal photo of the s3 looked so odd for Harry's hair lighting and i #looked blue #and we all thought Audrey had gone to a wishing well like in ouat and had cast a time spell and the vks had to work together to get their #timeline back #Uma #Mal and Audrey and Hades are the only ones who remember the last timeline #aka demi-gods #person who cast the spell #and god #and Mal goes to see Hades and confronts him cuz hes a god and might know where cronos sundial is so she can get her timeline back #but she also notices alto of the isle is-way better than what she and her friends had done?? theres fresh food-no one is wearing ratty old #clothes that were trash from auradon #the air is better #and theres no propagana pictures #Mal asks-not so descretly-what happened and Hades just goes 'uma.'#Uma made it her whole ass mission to make the isle a better place in gernal becuase even if they're steadely getting kids off-its still a #really bad place and-ya know-HUMAN RIGHTS #Ben is very supportive and the isle becomes less an inhumane prison and more just a isle of solitude where the villains live without magic #the barrier was edited personally by FG and Uma to allow fresh air and water in and out of the isle becuase it was really fucked up that #once ANYTHING gets in it cant go out so the isle waters were really really poluted and bad and FG was like- "how did i not know it was this #bad!?“ and uma is just like ”....really?“#anyway i have feelings about the fandoms old theories about d3 #anyway Mal goes through teh deliema of either going back to her timeline where the isle is still really bad but shes happy or #stay in the timeline where the isle is much better but she's still stuck and not with Ben/becoming queen #so she has the same choice in this alt timeine that she gets in d3 but its much more-just on her-becuase she knows Uma wont twist back #the timeline-shes happy #Harry and Gil are happy-lots of kids are already off the isle #and Ben looks happy too...hopefully

He can't have shit in this family.

#ffxiv #zenos yae galvus #adventurer zenos #ocs #atticus and his ~100y/o wisdom #knowing this poor man is stuck looking like his old man or his --old-- man #and at least for my adven!zenos he has no problem looking like young solus personally #its primarily for atticus and in part for meteor- luckily his height mitigates it for atticus- meteor is just stuck seeing emet regardless #other than that I just wanted to draw his hair short and the proper(?) outfit I have for him right now #aka what I imagine him wearing when he's not lounging in a turtleneck or his light sleeveless gear #also this is tank zenos so he fights unarmed- buuut he also just has like three knives strapped on him just in case LOL #I also just enjoy showing him being proud of his apperance #I just find it a neat- even if possibly unintentional- character quirk that he seems to be very particular of his appearance #and also might not actually want to show any scars he might have? I always found it interesting that #he always has gloves or armor particularly covering his right hand and the one time he doesnt is when its elidibus #which yeah- I also wouldnt want to have to look at the constant reminder that youre being biologically nerfed so much #-that you have to resort to sticking radioactive magical crystal straight through your hand just to do a single technique-#my mad little blorbo #fascinating giant of a man who is very fun to write #but yee- that is why I draw him covering the void arm or using his blindfold as a scarf for his neck sometimes #also #the next time I draw this outfit on him- i need to remember to put the sun pin back over his heart again like it was for EW #that also lives in my head rent free v-v

ik that taako’s voice in the first episode was because justin was still figuring out his character but i like to imagine that before joining bob taako put on fake accents to avoid being recognised, since he was wanted for the whole poisoning incident, but also for the bit

and then kravitz changes accents mid-fight in crystal kingdom and then drops them during their date at the chug ‘n’ squeeze and taako’s like oh 😳 same hat 😳

#taz balance #the adventure zone #taakitz #taz taako #i’m relistening to the entire balance arc and idk i just think it’s fun to take little abandoned details from the early runs and make them #into headcanon’s. like the whole taako and lup went to a religious boarding school headcanon bc of justin’s one-off comment about olmec #taako can’t even remember his god’s name but he is very religious you guys. they definitely got expelled from the school.#merle gave up on pan between the beach and bob bc his most religious experiences and connections w pan were wiped from his memory. but #exploring and something about his new boss sparks a nostalgia for his og god and he tries to re-build his faith.#magnus’ knife is lowkey prophetic but nobody notices (while riffing on it they mention a +8 weapon that deals an incredible amount of damag #e aka the sword of doom; and they say how in the final arc a dragon will appear from nowhere and has been there the whole time and it loves #you aka lup)#merle doesn’t trust gundren because he has so few memories of his cousin/his family there isn’t anything to gauge his intentions from #sildar hallwinter is barry’s go-to undercover name #y’know. stuff like that #i like re-contexting old information to fit with the new

Hyperfocus messed with my time perception so bad omg

Have you ever experienced non-linear time? Like half an hour went by in half a minute and then it stopped. Entirely. Logically I know that it's been around 15 minutes, but I can't even say that it felt like forever because it didn't feel like ANYTHING [PT: anything. /End PT]. It's been hours but not the 60 minute kind of hours y'know? It's been a while. Not really

#neurodivergent #adhd #ice speaks #aka keter reads 3001 and spends the rest of the day rambling like scranton #I'm not exaggerating btw. just. completely turned off my time perception and i couldn't ground myself #so i walked in circles and it felt like there was nobody there even though it was more crowded than usual #weird shit #also where the fuck are all my friends. you could tell me they died of old age and I'd almost believe you #feels like i was gone for a while (<- i spent an hour reading)#ask to tag #i fucking guess idk I'm still not grounded ahhh

something something, visited by three spirits that push you to reinvent yourself

and meanwhile, the three mother-type figures in Adora's life were all key to her to figuring out what she really wanted and who she wanted to be but literally...

Light Hope "died" trying to right a wrong from the PAST

Queen Angella died trying to preserve Adora's PRESENT

and Shadow Weaver died to give Adora a chance at a FUTURE

#I could say this more intelligenty with time but this just occurred to me and I'm making it your problem #Shadow Weaver as the terrifying faceless cloaked figure #then her last words being 'this is only the beginning for you' as she bought them time (in the long and short term)#light hope essentially ending the world because of old programming from a long dead race of colonizers #then letting herself be destroyed over memories that should have been deleted bc she regretted what happened with mara #and the way the way the crystal castle gave you a tour of moments of your past like the first spirit #meanwhile angella was just trying to close the portal to save the present aka the life they had right now #but of course her staying behind completely altered the present for everyone especially glimmer #and meanwhile each of these losses served as key moments in Adora's journey (pos change arc if ur nasty)#and she emerged on the other side realizing it was not too late to change and make a new world #spop #shera #she ra #queen angella #light hope #shadow weaver #adora #a christmas carol #meta #do you see what I'm getting at?#this all started because I was picturing the three of them as ghosts at the end watching her Star wars style

okay, to preface, I grew up with motogp (and f1) but I don't have subscription myself to watch it, so the only way I got to watch it with my uncle. HOWEVER, there was some family drama and I have not been able to see my uncle in like seven years so like I kinda lost interest. THEN the pandemic hit and with nothing better to do than watch cars and bikes to go vroom, I got back into f1 (learned of indycar and hasn't looked back) and in the past year and a half i've slowly been picking motogp up.

Anyway my question is, why is Fabio (Quatararo) always shirtless? Is it just a social media thing? because I swear every weekend I have to see this man's nipples and abs because he refuses to zip up his leathers. Like is there something I'm missing?

(btw I also have not been able to watch any full races of motogp because I don't have the money to pay for a subscription [IM A BROKE STUDENT AND IN MY COUNTRY YOU CAN ONLY PAY])

#wtf is going on with fabio #I just want to know if there is a reason #his shirtlessness is confusing #like SIR where are you fireproofs #They do wear an undershirt under the leathers no?#sorry i sound like such a rookie fan #(my knowledge as a five year old child is not carrying me anymore)#everyone is new and i'm just nodding along #I feel like such a boomer the only riders I actual know are Aleix and marc #like i get the old stuff (ahhem rosquez and pedrenzo)#but god i'm lost with the new kids #Also I technically do watch the races #(aka. I stare at the live timing table and refresh twitter every five seconds for live updates)#fabio quartararo #motogp #sol's yapping

Despite how much I suffered making my last isat au Aris sprite redraw, I decided to do it again and once again went through hell doing it. There’s like a billion mistakes in this (such as her having the wrong arm rip) but at the end of the day I’m still happy with how it turned out :]

#keese draws #oc #oc art #eternal gales #isat #in stars and time #sorry for main tagging feel free to excecute me if you want or whatever #grips sink cringe is dead cringe is dead cringe is dead #anyways this is a very fuzzy and vague au as I don’t rly feel comfortable going off too hard with this one #this is pretty much entirely because I know I’d have to fuck around with the worldbuilding a decent amount and I don’t rly wanna do that #Isat’s worldbuilding is one of my favorite parts of isat so I don’t wanna fuck it up yknow?#I might do some other sprite redraws once I stop thinking too hard abt aris and tali #for context tali is the king aka complicated design that makes me wanna cry especially since I made it worse by changing her imagery #instead of having tears as a thing she has like. fracturing if that makes sense?#it’s supposed to be a nod to her ‘cracked’ eye in canon #she also has threads coming from her limbs instead of long hair for similar reasons #also she doesn’t have straight hair so yknow #but yeah for additional context aris and tali are half sisters and they make me go insane #in this au the idea would be that when their grandparents divorced when the two were little tali and their grandma left the island #aris wouldn’t leave until five or so years later when she was around 12 #at which point the island disappeared and all that #the two have mostly completely forgotten about eachother but there still is familiarity between them #tali isn’t any less of a piece of shit than the king in this au tho #aris for a brief moment almost remembers who tali is during act 3 but she dies before she can fully grasp it #which almost hurts more to her despite not even knowing what she was trying to recall #during act 5 her inner sadness fight is against the hazy image of a very young tali 👍#just tiny 5 year old tali using the voices of the others to scream at aris that she’s been nothing but a burden to them all #and that she’s done nothing but hurt them in her selfish attempts to fix a problem that she refuses to admit she caused #and that time and time again she’s lied that she’s doing her best to protect them and that she’s failed all of them #it’s a mix of current guilt and her hazy but longstanding guilt towards tali

I'm so peeved that literally every aspect of the Gerudo in BOTW/TOTK serves to make me mad bc I love the Gerudo desert and I think that some of the most interesting NPCs to speak to are Gerudo.........alas

#august.chr #trying my damndest to piece together a BOTW/TOTK timeline bc I dont believe for an instant that the divine beasts are 10k years old #and i'm scraping my brain trying to think if any cutscenes from pre-calamity mention the ban on voe in the city #bc i'm trying to justify an in-universe reason why the gerudo would implement such a policy #given you know. they're a trading city. and banning men. means banning half of all possible trade partners.#my best guess is that the gerudo were always somewhat isolationist but were much more lenient #until the calamity hit and the gerudo faced serious damages from ganon's destruction and vah naboris causing sandstorms for a while #in the turmoil the gerudo banned visitation but after enough years it became obvious that this was destroying the city's economy #so they opened the gates back up but only to women. because the gerudos' need to find men to sustain their population in combination with #the new Inaccessability of gerudo women invited a rather predatory type of crowd. so this discriminatory gate system was an attempt to cull #this behavior. but it only made it worse because it just cemented gerudo women in the cultural perception as hard to get and Foreign #<-(aka Interesting skeevy edition)#so to the gerudo opening the gates means the not unlikely possibility of inviting harassment from scummy guys but not opening the gate will #never allow this terrible dynamic to heal. and instead of trying to forge a healthier relationship with dating for gerudo women #the gerudo have leaned into this gender seperationist ideal. as seen with mattison and the whole culture of removing young gerudo girls from #their fathers and the kingdom of hyrule at large in favor of staying in gerudo town #anyways sorry i hate the gerudo's worldbuilding but i actively hate the fan approaches to make it Woke Gender Essentialism more #it's literally not better if you go 'well the gerudo would let trans women into town if they just claimed to be women' like.#no they wouldn't. they let link into town in the gerudo vai fit because he passes as a woman in the outfit. if he changes clothes in town he #stops passing and they kick him out.#gerudo town is literally TERF city it's a city where a society of women have isolated themselves and banned men from interacting and will #only allow women they subjectively deem to be Womanly Enough to enter their gates #and teach young gerudo girls that men are dangerous and that they have to grow up in gerudo town until they come of age. like it's literally #a law that gerudo diaspora have to move to gerudo town before puberty #anyways sorry this is like the third time in the past 2 years i've drafted a post about how i think the gerudo's worldbuilding #is both illogical and abusive to the gerudo growing up in it. but illogical and abusive does not make for unrealistic worldbuilding either #so i want to find a way to work within its confines while also complaining loudly about it the entire time

When you're the emperor of an entire nation and undoubtably have countless very important things to do...

...but you instead drive over to your friend's estate deep in the mountains to surprise him, just to be a normal person for a little while.

This is about GOS2 but not quite -just wanted to tell you how refreshing (and calming) it is to see someone dislike something, or disagree with something, or someone (Neil, in this case) while being completely polite and respectful to people who do like it (the show, the ship, this season specifically, whatever) and not doing personal attacks or being insulting or downright hostile or aggressive. Just... Liking what you like, not liking what you don't like, and being in your own "bubble" so to speak. I adore the first season, and some moments in this one (not the season in general), and I've had to see and start avoiding absolutely wild stuff since 2019, from haughty superiority from book first fans calling people who liked the show absolute idiots, people directly attacking fanwork creators or even Tennant, Sheen and Gaiman themselves, to even worse stuff I'd rather not think about. As you can probably already imagine, that specific kind of dumpster fire has only gotten worse since the release of S2.

My take on fandom has always been to enjoy what you enjoy and ignore the rest unless it's something serious with real-world implications or consequences. It's always stressed me out how people can get, to the point that for several years I stopped engaging with fandom entirely, and I just wanted to say this, I guess, because it's been a breath of fresh air. I wish more people engaged with fictional material and fandom the way you do. Cheers, hope you have nice day and that this wasn't too weird of a message to get

This is really beautifully put, thank you for the nice message! Yeah all-in-all, these are just a show/a book/content made for people's entertainment, and there's absolutely no reason to get to the point of attacking the cast and crew or fans personally.

#ask #nice ppl #I'm not gonna pretend that I'm always level-headed and calm but I know better than to lash out on a public blog that everyone can see #And 1. Neil Gaiman WAS still following me on the first few days after the show came out at the peak of my anger so #as mad as I was I still can't bring myself to say the worst words in front of my...mutual...? 😂 so thank you Neil for controlling me ig LOL #2. some of my old friends actually really liked the show and that doesn't change how much I like them?#Just like how my friends and I have different opinions on media all the time? Sometimes I'm in the majority sometimes I'm in the minority #3. I have outlets aka DMs and groupchats with like-minded ppl (or ppl who don't care) who I trust where I can spew the worst venom 🤣#Basically where nobody else on the receiving end will ever be able to see #So I guess the lesson is...find someone you can confide in so you don't have to show your true colors to everybody #so you can appear calm and collected in public alksdjhalskdhas

Y'know, nothing highlights my preference for the first era of fnaf more than me randomly getting really focused on an old plot hole that's mostly focused on the first 2 games

#aka who wants to hear me ramble abt some old ass questions that have probably been covered many times #ya sure I'll tag it #fnaf #I like the Hw+ era of fnaf. I just have favorites
