Bruder es leuchtet

Ich zwinge euch hiermit mal euch mein Gesellenstück anzuschauen. Lasiertes Birkenholz mit 24k-Blattgold, Aluminium und Deglas-Acrylglas. Thema und Text waren vorgegeben, die Gestaltung war uns überlassen.

Meine Wunschvorstellung für den nächsten Spatort:

Ritualmord. Wir begleiten meistens Pia bei den Ermittlungen, wie sie sich reingräbt und dementsprechend auch warum sie so ist wie sie ist. Esther ist öfter an ihrer Seite, weiß um Pias Probleme und versucht sie so gut es geht zu unterstützen. Leo und Adam sind diesmal die Laufburschen/Stichwortgeber. Wir sehen öfter softe Hörk-Momente im Hintergrund. Leo macht sich um Pia Sorgen, aber vor allem Adam baut sie mit kleinen Gesten auf.

Krimiplot mit einer guten Portion softem Team.

Imagine coming to Strawberry and the first thing you see is this ridiculous man in a union suit and flower hat. He feels very pretty.

Based on this. This is Tess's ideal relationship dynamic. btw.

I also took the chance to put her in Lillie's dress from Prettiest Platypus because it's so cute and I always thought I wanted to draw a character in it :)

(matt bomer, 35 anos, ele/dele) atenção, atenção, quem vem lá? ah, é oliver clawford "gato de botas", da história o gato de botas! todo mundo te conhece… como não conhecer?! se gostam, aí é outra coisa! vamos meter um papo reto aqui: as coisas ficaram complicadas para você, né? você estava vivendo tranquilamente (eu acho…) depois do seu felizes para sempre, você tinha até começado uma briga de bar com bandidos que tentaram o assaltar… e aí, do nada, um monte de gente estranha caiu do céu para atrapalhar a sua vida! olha, eu espero que nada de ruim aconteça, porque por mais que você seja corajoso, você é egoísta, e é o que merlin diz por aí: precisamos manter a integridade da sua história! pelo menos, você pode aproveitar a sua estadia no reino dos perdidos fazendo o que você gosta: caçar recompensas e ser um vigilante em busca de aventuras.

O personagem é dono ou cuida de algum lugar no Reino dos Perdidos?

Não... exatamente. Ele nunca teve um lugar fixo para realizar seus negócios como caçador de recompensas, ainda que seja muito comum encontra-lo em bares ou becos escuros da cidade.

Como está a posição dele em relação aos perdidos? Odiou ou amou?

Para alguém que foi amaldiçoado a perambular pelo mundo como um gato para sempre, em um conto que sequer o outro mundo se lembrava de sua origem, afundado em sua própria ruína e sozinho, sem quaisquer perspectiva de um final feliz em sua própria história... é quase um eufemismo dizer que ele não ficou adorou essa chegada inusitada dos perdidos. ainda mais por ter voltado a sua forma humana a muito tempo esquecida! Seja quem tenha reescrito sua história, se sentia grato por ter dado uma nova chance para si, uma nova perspectiva de vida e de não estar condenado a ficar sozinho para sempre. E com toda certeza ele não irá desperdiçar essa chance, custe o que custar.

hi just a reminder / heads up azif is NOT!!! a bg3 character, she's a dnd player character so she exists within the same universe and timeline, but is not related to the bg3 plot!

at the time of the events of bg3 azif is no longer adventuring. she's living in archenbridge (the complete opposite side of the continent!) doing her priestess work and raising her children.

if you wish to interact strictly within the bg3 storyline feel free to hit me up on azif's daughter blog. zuriel is not a tav either, but she is a companion option!

ahhh the van der linde gang needs a modern-ish crime family AU!!!!!

dutch is the patriarch who loses his touch and/or goes ape when his partner in crime is shot by the rival gang

(hosea pulls through but would almost rather perish when he finds out what atrocities the family committed while he was out of commission)

micah is the crazy, bloodthirsty oldest "brother" who keeps making things worse with both the rival gang and the police and has a weird obsession with arthur because he's jealous of arthur being the favorite

arthur is the sensible, decent one who everyone in the family secretly would prefer to inherit the role of leader but he's not technically the oldest and is falling out of favor with dutch. the police reeeeally want to make a deal with him on the dl and he might! but no, he's too loyal to the family

john is one of the only younger brothers who survives and perhaps gives info to the fbi with implied permission from arthur who wants it all to end

grimshaw keeps operations running and has booby trapped the farmhouse and a shotgun named after someone she killed 30 years ago

charles and sadie are the only people arthur trusts and they're the only ones doing anything useful without fucking it up or killing civilians

karen and uncle are fbi MISinformants

trelawny is the family lawyer

mac and davey are the obligatory creepy twins that just won't die

sean and lenny are the lower-tier cousins who get picked off by the rival gang

and so on

[sushisocks]

Hey there! I believe you said in another post that the final confrontation would be unlikely to happen if lenny and sean were alive, so i'd like to ask if you could expand on that pls(if u havent already and i just didnt see it lol)

Btw on a side note im actually super invested in your sean content😭😭the fandom seems to only talk ab him to label as an idiot, so as a fellow sean lover the way you characterize him has me so in love❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh Anon you are SO LOVELY!!! Thank you not only in giving me the opportunity to rant more about Sean and Lenny (which I am always so willing to do), but also for your super kind words!! Sean is very dear to me, and I'm glad my reading into him as much as I do strikes a chord with other people ;;u;;

The way the general fandom often characterizes him isn't very surprising to me, given his personality & the surface level impressions he gives, but maybe for now I'll save THAT rant for another time, else we stay here forever lmaoo

So, to start answering your question, I believe you're talking about my post from a few months ago, where I talk about how I believe Sean & Lenny would've sided with Arthur & John if they'd lived to see the final confrontation. In it I mention how I find that final confrontation a lot more unlikely were Lenny & Sean to survive that far and stick around for the entire thing.

Now, WHY do I believe this? I touch on it briefly in that original post, but let's really get into it here!!

Okay to start off, there's a LOT of ways I see things going, in regards to Sean and Lenny, were they both to survive, because it adds SO MANY variables, but let's start at the very top.

At a meta level, it is important to recognize that RDR2 is a prequel to RDR1. This meant from the get that RDR2, as it is canonically, was bound to a certain outcome, to set up for RDR1. This ALSO means, that every step from the start of RDR2 was very much there not only to lay the groundwork for the end of RDR2 but also add another emotional layer to RDR1. This is all certainly things we are aware of already, but I think it's important to have that context in mind while we talk about alternative outcomes.

Because, see, Sean and Lenny HAD to die for the outcome in RDR2 to be the one it is. Not only them, but Hosea, Kieran, Molly, and Susan's deaths are ALL integral and important to the story, they ALL make a difference and contribute in pushing the story a certain way, and in reinforcing the steadily increasing hopelessness which infest the gang from Sean's death and out.

So if we're like "what if none of them died?" there are suddenly a LOT of new variables for every mission and every scenario we know from the game, which need to be considered. This is true EVEN if the change in survival count is only reduced to Lenny & Sean.

How different do you not think Shady Belle would have felt, initially, without Sean's death hanging over it? What about the bank job -- would Lenny & Sean end up on the boat to Guarma? What would've happened to them there, then? Would either of them be caught by the Pinkertons instead, with John or in his stead maybe? What other options would there have been, where would they end up at the end of that?

And already here we have to consider how those experiences might've impacted them psychologically, because of who they are.

In the post I mentioned earlier, I talk about how Lenny is new to the gang and probably isn't as stuck in it mentally as Arthur and John, nor do Sean and Lenny have the same emotional attachment/baggage in regards to Dutch. They're loyal of course, because they feel a sense of obligation to the gang, because it provides them with safety, friends, and allies, in an otherwise unkind world.

But what then happens when that changes?

How do you expect Sean and Lenny to respond when the gang starts turning on itself? When Dutch visibly starts losing it? When people start snapping at each other and threatening one another in the middle of camp?

(I have a half-formed thought here about how people would ABSOLUTELY be snapping and talking down to Sean in a way more cruel way towards the end of the game, for trying to keep things light and easy, yknow, fulfilling his role in the gang. I can only imagine what that'd end up doing to him, tbh.)

And, I'll be repeating myself from other posts here, but how do you think Lenny, a young black man painfully aware of the social structure as it exists in America at that point in time, would react to realizing what Dutch's plan with the Wapiti is? Same goes for Sean, who has SEVERAL instances through the game showing him just as politically aware as Lenny - certainly moreso than Arthur.

Would the outcome for the Wapiti tribe be the same, do you think, if Charles had more people than a very sick and tired Arthur to lean on, willing to help? Would Lenny in particular want to stick around to see Dutch attempt to drive the tribe into the ground for his own gain?

Also, I'm sorry but like, Lenny has a camp interaction with Dutch where he disagrees with him (about Miller, Dutch's favorite author) and explains why in a very well-articulated manner. In one instance, Dutch gets straight up offended by it, bcz Lenny can argue very well (and is RIGHT mind you lol).

I do absolutely believe that Lenny would not just sit around quietly in Beaver Hollow. I'd expect him to be among the most vocal in their discontent with the situation, and probably the best at arguing against Dutch.

That is, up until a certain point. Lenny is a young black boy, and Dutch is a white authority figure. Watch Dutch snap and yell at him, like he does John in Ch6 for example, and see how much longer Lenny sticks around fr. The trade is loyalty for safety and the same in kind. Why do you think members start leaving when things start looking their worst? And don't you think Lenny would be among the first to see the writing on the wall?

Though that is hinging on that very specific vibe in Beaver Hollow, where they're all scattered and losing their ties to one another. Add then in Sean, who is VITAL as social glue, and for making conversations easier. If he, and Lenny, and Mary-Beth, Tilly, Arthur, Charles, etc etc, insert your favorites here, managed to retain some of that community feeling, despite it all, then I absolutely see Lenny sticking around for them.

Same goes for Sean, tbh. I can see him leaving earlier, bcz the trade stops being equal and bcz he's not being taken seriously, and I can see him staying, for his friends.

There IS also a version of things where things are similar and I do see Sean siding with Dutch; but that is a very sad and lonely Sean, who is VERY different from where he's at in Clemens Point, and I think that's an unfair perspective to take for him in general.

Okay so, now we're back to that final confrontation, after I said I found it unlikely, why is that? Because, with every question I've posed thus far, about what Lenny & Sean's reactions might've been to canon events after their deaths, I have essentially presented a variable that comes with their survival to those points. Them being there for it, HAS to mean a change, has to mean something different happens, because their deaths are direct contributors to the path we already know the story takes WITHOUT their presences.

Now, what are those differences and changes? I honestly can't answer; something being different earlier or later can butterfly-effect into something completely new or remarkably similar to what we already know. I could sit here all day and wax poetic about all the different options and possibilities for where things could go, were ANY character to survive past their death point, BUT thankfully, that is what fanfiction is for, lol.

I hope this satisfied some of your curiosity, dear anon!! It was a lot of fun for me to write and think about, so thank you very much for asking!!!
