Do I actually think Imogen is going to turn on the party? No. I don't think it’s any more likely to happen than I did Fjord releasing Uk’otoa, or Caleb returning to Trent and the Vollstruckers.

Given the nature of the game, any character turning fully dark is unlikely, seeing as it would take them away from the party for a time or potentially even turn them into an npc, replaced by a new pc. So far the only time we've gotten close to seeing something like it happen was Yasha siding with Obann, which could only happen specifically because Ashley was gone from the table for a long time (it was also the product of mind control, not an active choice to turn dark, and as such still doesn’t really count as a pc turning on the party in my eyes).

But the possibility is there. The seeds planted. Travis has talked about how, after he threw the falchion away, he briefly considered having Fjord leave the party and retun to the coast and Uk’otoa. Liam has mentioned that, early on, Caleb returning to work for Trent was a very real possibilty. It can happen, if the players and narrative are open to it.

And now, canonically, Imogen is desperately and understandably searching for a reason not to have to fight her own mother. She is, however briefly, questioning whether the Ruby Vanguard might have a just cause. Much as she hates it, she also feels the allure of the power Ruidus gives her. Her closest ally is someone who has repeatedly assured she will stand by her no matter what she chooses, even after she voiced the possibility of letting Predathos get out. None of these parts of Imogen are evil, and all of them are understandable and deeply rooted in pain and ostracization, but they could very easily be turned into justification, were she pushed enough.

The seeds are planted. Again, I don’t think it will happen (she seems firmly against the evil plan when reminded of how evil it is), but there’s certainly nothing strange or hateful about engaging with and being interested in the darker possibilities as presented in canon. It isn't character hate to acknowledge that Imogen has the potential to go dark, much as Fjord and Caleb and Yasha. To me, it’s what makes her character interesting. I want to see her clash with the party, whether because she’s desperate to save her own mother or because she’s high off the power of Ruidus and lured in. I want to see Laudna have to choose between the world and her promise to stand by Imogen no matter what. I want to see the fallout, the slow healing and redemption and coming to terms with bad choices. I eat that shit up, and if it doesn’t happen in canon I'll probably go read some fic about it to get my fix.

Just completed the “Death Incarnate” quest.

Are Ash’s wings important in TWP because they’re a visual metaphor, comparing Ash to a bird stuck in a cage?

Is Ash going to sacrifice his wings for his own liberation from the court?

Is Ash going to sacrifice his wings for the liberation of the Shadow World as we know it?

I’m starting to think that Ash’s character arc is going to follow a theme of freedom. For him, for everyone he comes to know and love.

The Forsaken are like if the Nazgul were pathetically petty losers who regularly hold meetings where they bitch at each other, desperately seek Sauron's approval, and completely fail to hide how much they want to fuck Aragorn.

wrt Durge, child killing? probably cannon. corpse fucking? I mean your take is your take buddy but unless I missed some interaction necrophila not confirmed. Like I get it Durge did messed up things and even apart of a redemption story you have to be redeemed from something but someone acting like their Durge won't fuck corpses isn't an attack against you and your character. Its annoying if they ONLY care about Astarion, but cannonly Durge had adopted parents at some point (revealed if your heal them) and a somewhat normal life, if someone chooses to focus on that first instead of what happened once they found Bhaal that doesn't make Durge any more "your toy" than theirs

Scleritas tells you that you used to fuck corpses.

I could read the rest of this ask, but frankly, that's the only thing I can focus on.

you can either watch this video or just accept that I am right and I know more than you, and save yourself time.

anyway.

idk what the rest of this ask says, but godspeed to you.

The Re: Dracula score was incredible today, perfectly encapsulating some of the most chilling passages of the book. The desolation and loneliness coming through in Van Helsing’s memoranda gets me every time, and the night they spend in the protective circle is just terrifying.

You expected a silly gay pirate show and then it hits you with the:

"You know that there's a bird that never touches ground? Born in the air. Never once lands. Spends its entire existence in the sky. We're never going back to land. We're gonna sail, rob, raise hell forever and ever, without end."

I can not believe that this sentence was all it took for me to fall in love with that man.

Seriously, how low can my standards be.

the notion of getting a chibi-style astarion plushie popped into my head on my commute and i realised i would 100% get one, if only because i would place it next to my 79 gundam model and it would largely be unnoticed save for the rare, rare handful of nerd hook-ups who come around (my room is largely just full of postcards and tasteful gay art if I'm honest, I am a 'no physical evidence of fandom' type of person).

but also i am too embarrassed to search for 'astarion plushie chibi style' on etsy for it to ever happen.

Thinking back to the feeling that could only be experienced post khux/khdr update. Like truly, whatever came over the fandom after the dark road finale cannot be replicated. 

It makes me look forward to khml version of those feelings. Each mobile game unlocks new emotions which each update and if missing link wants to beat the dark road finale it needs to straight up kill me in one shot. I need to feel the emotions in my bones for a solid week after the fact.
