Number two of my Tales from the Orphanage series! (Not a rewrite this time)
Summary: Mother Hubbard shook her head. “[Gwizdo]’s dug up that old stump, you know, the one out front nearly twice his size? And hunkered down in the woodshed with it. Hasn’t come out since he went in, as soon as the doctor determined you’d be fine. Really, that boy, I never understand what he’s thinking. You’re in here injured, and he’s out doing who knows what.” Her words were harsh, but she had a furrow in her brow that didn’t come from anger.
Rating: G
Relationships: Gwizdo & Lian-chu
Additional tags: Pre-Canon, Teenage Gwizdo, Teenage Lian-chu, Hurt/comfort, Found Family, Lian-chu knows his friend but is always confused by him,
Dexter is actually crazy like why’s this man standing in a room full of the remains of people he killed, why’s he investigating himself, why’s he at an addiction anonymous meeting talking about his addiction to murder like it’s the same as doing crack cocaine, it’s only season 2
People bring up the fact that Jason (might have) beaten up Tim that one time like it's the worst thing Jason did ignoring that he literally shoots Damian point blank in the chest all the offence in the world to tim but imo boy got off pretty easy
have we ever thought abt the fact that zuko is literally azula's older brother. like she's his little sister. that's his little sister. throughout a big, big part of atla plot, he was actively running away, scared of his little sister killing him because he KNEW she would/could. can you imagine that? your little sibling, wanting more your father's approval than your companionship to the point of death? every time they fought, zuko was fighting his baby sister. azula was fighting her big brother. this is making me so sick. they were 16 and 14 years old.
This song is so Layla x Warren coded that it wouldn't leave me alone til I made an edit with it.
Even after almost 20 years since this movie came out (and I saw it in the theater), there's not a single person who can convince me that he didn't end up falling in love with her.
I want a theft game event where everyone tries to steal things from the castle without getting caught by Barbados (like fr can get away based on your choices not just auto caught-victory can be random generated for the npcs) n whoever steals the most impressive thing gets an irl prize from Diavolo
The only rules are: 1. Everything must be returned in the end. If you pawn or steal it’s a disqualification n immediate treason charge is placed upon you. 2. No teams larger than 3 (one player picked another randomized), separate teams cannot help each other. 3. No spells outside of what’s required to safely get past/handle any magic already in place around the castle for security purposes/handle cursed objects (so no teleporting, no weather magic, no pact manipulation etc.) A true ‘shove it down your pants n walk out’ sorta game
It could kinda be a march madness style setup where whoever steals the best/most moves up a round n then based on results the actual leaderboard gives you a random specialty prize based on your initial play-through. Like a unique banner that goes around your profile pic for the duration of the event. Everything else would work kinda the same
Imagine a game where Luke is the winner cuz no one expects him. Or Belphie wins cuz no one expects the sleeping corpse to slug 200 grand worth of historical objects out under his blanket while never getting up off the floor. Imagine if we win n our prize is getting to choose between irl energy or devil points. Ik it’d be a lot of work to program all that but once the works done imagine how many other events you could apply it to. Could be extra interesting in the beginning of the game to if random outcomes are influenced by your heart connection to some degree so they actually matter beyond phone calls
I've been playing BG3 a ton since release, like many people, and one thing I'll ever get over is how the companions look after a particularly hard battle. For example, here's Astarion after he clutched the Ansur fight for me after the dragon killed myself and Wyll in one hit.
Mans looks like he summoned 6 ghouls, kept a feckin' dragon off of Gale (who only had 2 hp left to his name), was downed and then healed with the saddest excuse of a health potion known to man (thrown by Gale in a desperate attempt to not have to reload), only to then hope that Gale manages to banish Ansur, with a 2% chance to hit, for a round so he can position himself with his remaining 3 ghouls to get sneak attack damage.
Just look at him back there. Suffering.
Then there's Gale.
Good thing he landed that 2% chance banish because there's no excuse for him to look this untouched after everything Astarion went through to keep his ass alive.
