I just think it would’ve been cool to have an argument with Joker at some point, especially in ME2. Where is all the tension about him being the reason Shepard stays behind a moment too late in Alchera? Where are Shepard’s feelings about him being all-too-willing to get into the new Normandy? I just think that if you put their survivor guilts and personal crises in the same room for more than 10 minutes you would get something messy and it would be so interesting.

Watched Captain America: Civil War with my partner tonight. He said Bucky with the mask on looks like Ranboo. Neither of us can unsee this now. Help.

(We had a very good time watching though, for the record.)

wanted to check out all the bg3 channels on larian's discord server, ended up closing the app almost immediately LMAO can't believe all the takes i've been seeing on tumblr are somehow more bearable than whatever discussions are going on in there

was gathering character design fashion inspiration and saw wizard inspired fashion runway pics, googled the supposed designer to see if they had more work, and notes about their stuff + more references i could look at , and discovered that it was all AI (so no, there's no references and inspirations i can read up on). vishma maharaj i despise you and every other ai "artist" like you

Me: ....I plead the 5th.

how beautiful did he look, as he sat amidst the lilies, maidens bedecked in gold bathing him in milk and rose petals as he accepted them graciously. lashes fluttered shut with golden orbs hiding behind serenity bathed eyes, calm despite the repetitive chant of his noble name.

'long live deus auri!'

priests chanted the holy name of the mighty god whose blessing seemed to have livened the nation with plenty joy, smiles rising on the face of every citizen. the city was bathed in lights and lamps bright as every gust of wind sang melody of the ardour.

music and incense had filled every nook and cranny, and travellers had gathered from the corners of the world to behold witness to the occasion; and to have their own hands filled with the generous king's gold—who was as gleeful as a father could be at the occasion of his eldest son's coronation.

he stands once the ceremony is completed, long brown hair open as they fall over his defined shoulders. to call him beautiful would've been both accurate and laughable, for he was more aptly compared with the sun than any petty word that could be used for anything else. the priests gather around him as he bows, a graciously swift movement as they slip the silks on his chest and the gold jewellery fitting of a crowned prince—enhancing his beauty a million times.

and had you blinked for even a moment, you would have missed the way his gaze fluttered ever so softly in your direction, atop the balcony which provided a view to the multitude of princesses who had been invited to the ceremony, as the garland of lotuses was slipped on him—the most silent gesture that very loudly said one thing—he would look forward to the day he can do that to you, and claim you his.

he turns back though, as quickly as he had looked, and then greets all with the most pleasant of smiles. all cheered loudly, but none's heart would've known the turmoil of anticipation that yours did. you understood very well the undertones of this coronation—it was his request from the king, who had been more than happy to oblige, so that he would have the right to ask your hand from your father who would only be willing to hand over his daughter to the noblest of men.

you have to prevent even a slip in gesture or airs to make for the sudden attention that you garner then, and your father smiles in the distance, old eyes gleaming with great understanding of his loveliest daughter's visage.

its a lovely affair then—the crowned prince and you sitting together near the lake of lotuses as he smiles at you with the smallest of desire in his gaze, as though trying not to let his composure slip—

'tell me, lotus-eyed, would your father allow me to take your hand in mine now?'

but your father knows the answer as he listens vaguely from near the rose bushes, even more than both of you who remain oblivious to his watchful gaze as he secretively smiles.

all that awaited now was the marriage ceremony and the rituals that follow with it—the best man wins the hand of his divine daughter. he knows he won't have to be partial, though. quite vain then would be his long wait of four years; looking for the valiant man who could dare to woo his daughter, the lady known for her very beauty and immaculate character in the land of wealth and trade.

he takes no worries when he smiles gleefully though, allowing the love birds to engage in peaceful conversation, fully trusting that his daughter would never do anything to make him bow his head low in shame. his eyes gleam in joy as he internally rejoices.

deus auri is the most competent of all in the seven continents, after all.

Not to be depressing or anything, but I was listening to Vale Decem (the soundtrack to 10’s regeneration) and thought of this.

Do you think that when 10 saw Rose right before he was about to regenerate, he thought of River? Imagine him making a mental note to be kinder when he met her again, because he now knows how it feels to meet your love before they know you, after you’ve lived through your entire time together? Imagine River’s words, “You and me. Time and Space. You watch us run.” playing in his mind when he reaches out to Rose and he wants to say that, he wants to tell her to cherish every single second they have together, but he can’t. So instead, he says, “I bet you’re going to have a great year.” and hopes that she understands every single thing he’s trying to pack into that single sentence.

I thought the best part of learning to use Blender would be making a face that looks like Xiomara, and I wasn’t wrong, but I also wasn’t expecting the sheer euphoria of remodeling outfits to give her more body fat and make her thicker like she deserves :')

Your BBRae piece gave me this thought, so you have to suffer this with me.

Raven leaves a lipstick mark on BB's face. Lovely. Fantastic. Wonderful. Now let's say he morphs into something else. Does the mark change size with him? Does it stay the same size? And if it does change sizes with him, does that mean if she kissed him while he's a hamster and left a mark, would he look like a goth giant had kissed him when he morphs back?

I love this thought.

I want emo BB because Raven kissed him when he was an ant now.

realized minecraft is 3D art and every change you make to the world is creating art. even if it is not building

different ways the world is altered, patterns of torches left and blocks broken & placed in certain ways

but your base is where most of the art happens and it is shown in building even if it is like the messiest attempt at a dirt house. and all the little things like ways chests are organized or where you placed nametagged pets

one of the reasons i consider it my favorite game except i don't view it as a game but more of an artistic/storytelling medium

(reposting gracie art 'cause it fits here)

The way some of y’all loved Sten of the Beresaad but now hate on Lae’Zel of creche K’liir. I see how it is

You know, when I was sitting on the couch surfing hermitblr I was all like "oh yeah I'm gonna work on my fics when I go back to my room" and then I walked to my room, remembered I hadn't seen my bed all weekend and got barely any sleep bc I was in a foreign place, and all the well laid plans went out the window. I am now a potato in bed, and I will be watching HC videos again.
