istg if i see another post with something having too many eyes saying its the beholding, i am going to scream. yes, the beholding is all about eyes, but just because something has eyes doesnt mean its beholding. as much as i hate to quote jurgan lightner " you're thinking too literally. examining the physical categorization, but ignoring the meaning of the thing."
i personally believe that eyes being were they shouldnt be/more than usual is the flesh or the stranger or the spiral. its body horror not beholding. yes, it has beholding undertones, but ultimately something else (again, probably the flesh)

CALLING ALL EXMORMONS/PIMOS
i have a proposition- lets all write the nastiest, most unhinged, atrocious mormon themed smut that we possibly can. It was honestly weirdly healing for me to read wild ass smut on ao3 that was themed around the religion and not the musical, and i want it to become such a popular trend for exmos and pimos to start doing that they have to start vagueing about it in general conference. It doesnt have to be good. It just needs to *be.*
Once im done writing my Ammon×Lamoni smut fic I'm absolutely reblogging this post with the link added, please join me in this unhinged rebellion

what's weird about the fantasy high drama is that like. it seems to me like people forget d&d is primarily a) a game you play with your friends and also b) luck based.
I mean it's fine to say that "nothing felt like a challenge" and "they just dominated everything and there weren't any stakes" but like. it's not as if they weren't up against huge threats. they lost the mall fight. the last stand was an onslaught of enemies. they fought a dozen dragons from an airship. the fights were hard. they're just really good. they've had very good dice luck in general this season and are all very high level and highly specialized. fig is gonna beat deception and performance checks. adaine's gonna figure out the arcana. riz is gonna succeed investigations. like. for some reason their strategical competence and wisely picked abilities are. a downside? a disappointment?
the thing about d&d that you need to remember is it's first and foremost a game. it's mostly random and it takes you down weird paths and you're playing to have fun with your friends. the dice are literally telling the story that it's their time, it's their year. they've struggled enough. they've trained enough. they're good at what they do. and in my post about the academic/domestic/personal stressors being the focus, d&d doesn't have any other system to work them out than rolling different skills. that's what d&d is. brennan set specific challenge levels for different tasks and the players strategized to prioritize which abilities they were strongest in. the challenges were there. and the players rose to them. they were both smart in their delegation of responsibilities and lucky with their dice rolls. of which, both are foundations of d&d.
don't mistake them being good players and getting lucky with there being no hardship. just because they smashed through the wall, that doesn't mean the wall wasn't strong. they were just stronger.

just thinking about how even when you hit a higher level of romance with Hassian, he still hits you with the same lines that try to push you away, trying to force you away because he's scared to let anyone else in because so far the one person who knew him and saw him as he was is gone
you push and push and push some more, flirting anyway because you know that he finds it hard to communicate how he's feeling. you know he doesn't always have the words to say how he feels, but you've also noticed that he greets you differently. he isn't as mad that you interrupted his hunt. he doesn't want you to leave, not really, and more often than not he smiles when he sees you, and he's sad to see you go.
you laugh when he tells you he's thinking of yogurt, but that stops when he apologised for lying to you, unsure of why he felt the need to hide his feelings when you're wearing his pin proudly.
he rolls his eyes at your cheesy line about holding his hand, but reaches out to you first to lace his fingers between yours. he's even started to use that moisturiser you gifted to him, so his hands are slightly softer and it smells like honey.
you tell him that the sun is brighter when he's with you, and he admits that the stars are dimmer when you're gone. he can't accept the compliment, but he lets you know that he misses you when he's alone in his grove at night.
this man loves in multitudes and anyone who can't see that he's just a little bit broken, a little bit anxious, and he would pull the sun from the sky just to keep you warm.
very normal and very sane thoughts over here

Furina's character design fucks me up so much. Because when it's Furina the human she has short hair. When she's Furina the "God", she has both her short hair and the long hair in the back, symbolizing how Furina isn't really a "god" but more a human playing the part of a God. And then when she has just long hair Furina isn't Furina, she's Focalors.
Idk, just the fact that hoyo made it so you can tell them apart fucks me up on so many levels.

Something I love about Spider-Man as a character: even if there's no big villain to fight, he's still a hero.
On days when there's no crime at all, he's out helping someone carry their groceries or giving directions to someone who's lost. He doesn't need anything negative to fight; he's just actively trying to make the world a safer, kinder, better place. That's what makes him a hero.

She is autism.
[ID: photographed text. it says: Have you come to assassinate me?"
"Wh-what?" Morrigan just about choked in her haste to deny the accusation. "No! I wouldn't even know h-" But she stopped, seeing President Wintersea's eyes twinkling. "You were joking." "Of course I was joking. If I really thought you were here to End ID]

my favourite flavour of shoyo thought is any Predicament in which he is literally just Some Nice and Perfectly Agreeable Guy but whose raw sexual charisma becomes so suffocatingly unignorable over time that it leads to the nastiest most incredible sex of your life

Honestly think what’s devastating about Ken snapping at Tom for the ‘you sound a little unhinged’ line was that I never would’ve expected that reaction cause that wasn’t even the worst thing Tom’s said to shiv, even just that day. You kinda forget it’s all happening behind closed doors cause we, the audience, see it all, so for Ken to lose his shit at him over it is just like … a reality check ig
