anyone else realizing that when the Native that told James Dutton his family could have the land for 7 generations and then his people would take it back. James said his people could have it.

now, you may think what’s happening in Yellowstone is the fight for the 7th generation but John Dutton III is the 5th gen and his kids: Beth, Jamie, and Kayce are the 6th. Tate is the 7th generation. He’s also born from a Dutton and from a Long, a Native American woman. and since he’s inheriting the ranch once John dies and his parents, uncles, and aunts move on or die too, well, it’ll be Tate’s and whatever siblings or cousins he has. But Tate is still the eldest, it’ll be his name on it, John will make sure of it, hell he’s the one John has spent the most time with. Tate is the 7th generation and he is also a Native, he technically completes the deal James Dutton first made.

was afraid to post this one, but i got a few people saying they heavily related to the subject matter. and i’ve also been trying to encourage myself to release things i would usually keep hidden, i think allowing myself to be more openly vulnerable in my writing has allowed me to write better in the long run. (:

Love your bg3 comics! I hope you don’t mind some world/lore building questions!

I was wondering why Kit looks so much more like Dorian than Astarion, and it got me thinking about how vampire genetics work. Do you think that the only physical traits that get passed down are ones from before becoming a vampire? That said, what do you think Astarion looked like before he was turned, and did Kit inherit any of those traits?

i think that would make sense!! i feel like pre-vampire astarion probably looked about the same but less pale and gaunt (personally i hc that he just went grey really early and i’m also in the brown-eyed astarion club)

honestly though, the real reason kit didn’t get anything from astarion is because the redleaf genes are too strong and they all look exactly the same

(he still got the teeth and the fluffy hair though)

i could get so much more done if i was less sleepy but unfortunately i have a terminal genetic case of teenager who thinks going to bed before midnight is for losers

[antlershade]

you could argue that its understandable for some sheltered people to have mixed feelings if like, a CEO of a video game company or maybe even a restaurant chain got shot. but im pretty sure even some one with the softest heart, some one who lives under the biggest rock, can celebrate the death of a health insurance CEO

Graves and the Shadows take the piss out of Price, Gaz and Ghost - "fawkin' 'ell, guv'nur, up those apple and pears" - and Soap comes in fists flying, because only he is allowed to rib his pet Englishmen about their dorky fuckin' accents, Graves and his yankee doodle dandies can get tae and sit their flat arses doon.

did anybody else grow up silently praying that they were adopted so they wouldn’t truly be related to their family or was that a me thing

Recently I’ve been getting anons and comments doubting the validity of some of the stories I tell on here. There’s nothing I can do to convince you that the stories I tell on here are completely genuine. All I can say is that they really are. I only post the wackiest, most interesting or funny stories of my life on here. You don’t get much of the boring day to day stuff.

Truth is, I come from a very long line of crazy people. When my dad was in med school he and some friends planted a small homemade bomb in an abandoned bathroom at their university. His roommate stole a pancreas from the corpse lab and put it in a girl’s backpack. The entire med school was suspended because no one owned up to it. My uncle would sneak out at night with my grandma’s car and she’d find out because she’d check the mileage and see it’d gone up, so my uncle started driving her car backwards since that didn’t increase the mileage. He got arrested driving her car backwards on the highway to another town. My uncle would steal my grandpa’s shotgun, tell his friends to jump in the pool, and start firing it randomly at the backyard. My cousin genuinely had two weed smoking girlfriends who were also girlfriends with each other. My great uncle had an affair exposed by having his intimate photos and videos with his mistress sent to the family groupchat by people who stole his phone, all because they were salty that my aunt told them to go fuck themselves when they messaged her asking for money. My aunt took out all her life savings and moved to another state to build a bunker because she believes the apocalypse is coming, and she didn’t even take any of her children. I don’t know how to tell you this, but life is just stranger than fiction sometimes. The sample size of life stories you get on my blog are just the instances in which that’s true.

What do you think of Harry getting Grimmauld Place? I seen quite a few who believe that it should be Draco’s since It’s Draco’s family’s history, Draco’s family tree and Kreacher spent Half Blood Prince going on about how he wanted Draco instead.

I guess my first question would be - how did Sirius get the house in the first place, even after being disowned? It's not a women-can't-inherit thing : Dumbledore says the Blacks traditionally have a male heir, but he's also expecting Bellatrix to just waltz in and claim ownership the second Sirius dies.

(if the House HAD to go to "the next male with the name of ‘Black" - which it doesn't because Harry Potter inherits - then all Draco has to do is start going by Draco Malfoy-Black, and boom it's his.)

Personally I think Sirius' disinheritance must have gotten reversed at some point. Regulus lived a little longer than his father, and by then he'd become disillusioned with Voldemort. He might have felt guilty about what happened to his brother and wanted to make amends, even if only symbolically. Or maybe Walburga heard that Sirius got arrested for being a secret Death Eater and killing muggles, and decided that he was all right after all, and wrote him back into the will.

Magical houses do apparently sometimes reject the people who (on paper) are their rightful owners, which throws an interesting wrench into things. Dumbledore thinks that even though Sirius willed Grimmauld Place to Harry, it's possible the Black properties might have some secret inheritance criteria like "pure blood" built into the protective enchantments. We also know that Umbridge can call herself Headmistresses of Hogwarts all she likes, but the *building* doesn't accept her, and bars her from the headmasters office.

Maybe the godparent/godchild relationship has some sort of intense magical and/or legal significance that means a lot to an old house like Grimmauld place. OR maybe Sirius found a way to hack the wards and convince the house that Harry was his illegitimate son or something. (I like this option because it's funny, and seems a very Sirius sort of solution. After all, he was extremely good at magic. He could have managed it.)

Actually that's not a bad premise for a fic. You could have it so Harry inherits the house in Book 6, and everyone is looking at him sideways because ... the process went so smoothly, the house and the house elf are so perfectly attuned to him, the only way that's magically possible is if he is blood-related to the house's last master. There's a whole genre of fics where it turns out Harry's real father is Snape. Why not Sirius?

But, it does make sense that *in universe* Harry's claim to the house might be considered a little shaky, because it's a Black property and he's not a Black. If Draco wanted make a stink about it... yeah he probably has a leg to stand on, legally. But, post-war Draco would need a really, really good reason to do that. He's not stupid enough to go directly head-to-head with Harry "Chosen One" Potter.
