#he doesn't complain much though

[inheartofwinter]

Another submission for Draw Drarry Badly Challenge 2024 because I'm avoiding real work =v='

Someone is going to have to buy take away tonight (they don't seem to complain though).

astarion origin playthrough worth it just for all the extra moments where he does the "sad wet cat" face

[brionnnne]

note that i will only ever call mithrun "stupid" jokingly. by "stupid", i only mean "frustrating behavior that i am immensely familar with". seeing him do something that makes me groan aloud, closing my eyes, sighing "stupid (affectionate, mournful)". like when he fucking... his dumbass "i don't want to [use the bathroom] right now, so it's fine." oughh. i know you! i know you! that's not how that works!!! and he's smart!!! he's so smart... but god, god... he's kind of an absent professor. he's kind of a cloudcuckoolander. i love him dearly. he gets called a dummy, a little idiot, and i flick his forehead, a little bonk of hard-heads, like "try again, idiot. that's not how bodies work." and "ooh, 'that's not going to work'. yes it is. shut up, stoopid. stubborn little man, my god." rolling my eyes forever.

doodles and some lore. I'm tired.

Lineup of all of the characters that appear long enough to need a visual representation of them in the game lol

Okay but while I understand the mindset behind it, it is a little discouraging to see SO MANY people just brush the 'I'm a Preteen' thing off as a joke, because 'Oh there's NO WAY that could actually be the case'. Like damn, as if I didn't already struggle to get an audience for Triangulum as it was...

sweet beginnings tag

Thank you for tagging me @raiiny-bay :D

This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag

Due to lack of storage space I got rid of my very first screenshots and edit attempts from like 2012 a while back (I'm sure I could still find them in some random privated throwback post or smth but honeslty you don't wanna see those.) Anyhoo I'll just go with my first edit with Mel I posted on here for the Halloween Photo challenge all the way back in 2014:

And a more recent picture I posted with the guy: (unedited and half assed because I lost my will to edit over the years)

Tagging: @nocturnalazure, @drawing-way-outside-the-lines, @wolfavens, @mainlyjustthesims, @spnmoosejerk, @veone @dandylion240 @sillypotcookie and whoever else feels like doing this!

Lil' extra for shits and giggles:

This was Lyall's first appearance on my blog in 2015:

...Yes, I had no idea how to make actual human looking sims back in the day.

[here-there-were-dragons]

just got told by my mother that all of us have "incredibly gourmet" tastes because she saw me putting three pads of butter and a single cube of dill cheddar on a microwaved potato

she then went into a rant about how when she was my age we didn't have all these "fancy things like cocoa powder" (i was not using any cocoa powder)

this is the woman who constantly complains about how she shouldn't be eating every single goddamned thing under the sun and how we don't care about her and are trying to kill her (the fact that there is literally not a single place that sells anything but pizza and burgers around here for more than an hour in every direction and WE don't exactly like that state of affairs either seems lost on her), and every time i've ever attempted to come up with a list of things she might be able to have i've just gotten screamed at and accused of being selfish(????). she also has absolutely zero respect for our diabetes and once even told me i'm a spoiled princess that expects the world to kowtow to my will because i told her i can't eat a hypothetical dinner comprising entirely of a pile of cooked sweet potatoes) and functionally refuses to eat basically anything at all other than lobster, ice cream, and homemade rare steak, because everything else is "killing her" and she "shouldn't be eating that on doctor's orders" (she hasn't spoken to a doctor in years for anything other than covid). meanwhile she genuinely expects us to live on plain cooked noodles with a can of cold unseasoned tomato sauce on top and consistently gets pissy about gluttony if we so much as add cheese, and the only reason she isn't forcing us to eat that every damn day anymore is because we started refusing to eat it. she acts like she's deathly allergic(or more accurately she insists her ibs is so bad everything short of plain chicken will make her shit herself to death) to every single spice and the concept of flavor itself to the point that she literally acts like she'll die if a single flake of paprika, which she thinks is spicy, gets on her food and lately has been getting iffy even about garlic powder, and genuinely expects all of the rest of us to live like that too because she thinks quite literally more than about three leaves of oregano and two pads of butter per entire batch of chicken breasts is Wasteful Excess And Gluttony

Beasties of Greenhollow soundtrack! Some tracks on this are from older projects like elphame but all of them have been reworked in some way. Most of them are entirely new. Enjoy!

[autumnrory]

Mediwhump May Day 3 - Seizure

@mediwhumpmay

This is canon-compatible with Five Card Draw and therefore does not have any AU markers. The 'Suit Booster' drug is more explained in unposted sections of that manuscript but basically, it's a performance enhancer that the Suits can take when they've pushed their bodies as far as they can and still need more, it removes the pain and fatigue temporarily and kickstarts their regeneration factor.. Jack helps the Doc with testing because he forgives easily and the promise of food is enough to get him to at least consider pretty much anything.

“So, Doc, what are we testing today?” Jack’s feet barely brushed the floor as he kicked them gently. They should really get the Doc some new equipment in here; a guy’s feet were definitely not supposed to reach the floor when he was sitting on an exam table, and he wasn’t even the tallest person in the Deck.

The Doctor was in a good mood, as was typical on a testing day, their smile real and their glasses on, which meant they were actually trying to be able to see him. “This is another drug trial. The formulation is not overly different from the previous test, so I will mainly be looking at the efficacy of the-“

Jack yawned loudly. “I’ll be honest with you, Doc, I just got off of a triple, so if we could skip the long-winded explanations, I’d really appreciate it.” He leaned back heavily on the reclined table, half-wishing he could go to sleep right there. Why did they have to call for him now, of all times?

The Doctor, of course, had the answer to that question. “That is actually why I asked you here today. My hope is that this new iteration of the ‘Suit Booster’ drug, as you insist upon calling it, will activate more quickly, remain effective longer, and have less of a rebound effect. Your fatigue is vital to the experiment.”

Sure. Whatever. Jack couldn’t bring himself to sweat the details. The sooner he did what the Doc wanted, the sooner he could be in his bathtub and then his bed. “Cool. So I take it like a normal booster?”

“Yes!” They handed him a palm-sized capsule of dark purple gel. “Just rate the change in your fatigue level and the monitors will do the rest.”

“Aren’t these usually blue?” he asked before sucking down the liquid. The texture was like drinking yogurt, not unpleasant, but also not grape-flavoured like his brain was telling him it should be.

The Doctor shrugged. “Would you prefer another colour? The blue dye was added at the Queen of Diamonds’ request when I was developing the original formula. She thought the four of you would prefer it to dark yellow.”

Well, she’d been right. Jack couldn’t think of many things worse than sucking down a tube of viscous piss-coloured fluid when he was already at his limit. He’d take any colour but that. And any taste in his mouth other than the suddenly overpowering grape flavouring. “Mother’s veil, Doc, that grape stuff comes on strong. It’s giving me a headache.” the lights were too bright suddenly, and he shielded his eyes with his hand.

The Doctor’s brow furrowed, and they set a hand on his shoulder in concern. “Jack... I haven’t added grape flavouring to the formula. I have not added any flavouring. Are you sure you’re- where in the blazes are you going?”

Jack’s head had snapped up and he was already halfway to the door before the Doctor’s hold on his arm stopped him. “Something’s here. Something’s coming.” His instincts had been honed by fifty years of being the Jack of Clubs, and he never doubted them anymore. The feeling of unease usually wouldn’t be this strong or come on this quickly. He felt close to a panic attack and nothing had happened to cause one of those. He realised that his breathing had become erratic, was vaguely aware of the Doctor calling his name, and then a sensation like falling off of a cliff before darkness.

When he became aware again, the first thing he noticed was how badly his head hurt. If this was what a migraine felt like, he had much more sympathy for Queen now. It was the sort of headache that made him feel like removing his jaw might help more than it would hurt. The next thing he noticed was that he’d been put into the recovery position. That was nice of whoever had done that. Was he on the floor? He guessed he must be. It wasn’t as dusty as he would have expected. Did the Doc spend all of their time in here cleaning?

Oh! The Doc! they must be worried sick if he’d passed out. He forced his eyes open a bit further. There they were, sitting on the floor next to him, uncharacteristically attentive. “Wha’ ‘appened…” His voice sounded strange…

They sighed in relief. “Welcome back. How much do you remember?”

Jack swallowed thickly. His mouth was so dry. How long had he been out? “Not much. We were... testing something, right?”

“Mhm. You had a temporal focal followed by a generalised tonic-clonic seizure, and, rather impressive one too, I might add. Not one of the anticipated side effects. I apologise, I rarely make such a severe medical error…” Their expression was neutral, but he could tell that they were furious with themselves.

“Not your fault, Doc. My head hurts…”

“I will be the judge of that. And yes, that is a standard after effect. You must be exhausted. I would like to keep you overnight for observation, if you feel up to getting up off of the floor.”

Jack did not, in fact, feel up to that. He’d much rather go to sleep right here. The last thing he heard was the Doctor’s “Hell’s teeth...” of affectionate consternation. Taglist: @youareshauni @arieadil @i-eat-worlds

maybe i'm about to have a change of plans. maybe i won't be making my mother watch last twilight and only friends this semester break, maybe instead i'll go for a star in my mind rewatch and will also sit her down in front of mafia the series

[rainbluealoekitten]

having a crush is so hard. last year i was listening to rap for some boy and now country. my god

[willow-jade]

Gonna be honest, it annoys me (in a casual, not-actually-annoyed, 'he does not say that' way) a tad bit when people write Kaeya INSISTING and verbally trying to convince people that he totally slacks off all the time; every time I can remember, when Paimon accuses him of doing as much, he gives a reassurance about how he's gotten all his work done, is doing something for Jean, is actually on business, wouldn't be here if he wasn't on top of work, delegated to xyz, etc.

He doesn't respond to those allegations by confirming them - at least not to someone who he wants to think highly of him. Maybe it's different when he's trying to bait criminals (we wouldn't know), but to the Traveler, to his coworkers, and very likely foreigners he'd be meeting professionally + common citizens, he denies it. Not aggressively or insistently, but he also doesn't... declare that he neglects his job??

If he ever has in front of us, it was an outlier. The closest I can think of, though, is the voiceline where he calls it comparatively unfun.

[roaringroa]

oh shit just noticed the only boy i’ve ever been into and who made me question for a long time about being lesbian or bi is liking a suspicious amount of wlw posts on twitter…

[kashilascorner]

the way the lotr movies didn't really bother to properly close (or acknowledge) Eowyn and Faramir's story arcs and they just kind of threw them in together at the end
