"haha, are you an art gay, a science gay, or a math gay"
Actually, I find the division between art, science, and math to be a very nebulous idea and useless when you actually interact with the universe. The more you learn about the world, the more you surround yourself with art and science and math, and you'll never be able to see it any other way and it will be beautiful. When I take your hand, it won't be the science of our atoms closing the distance between us that we will experience, but the math of our fingers interlocking and the art of our bodies that we will experience. You are math and you are science and you are art, and nothing will make you any lesser💛

"... you ain't from 'round these parts, are ya?"
asher downey for @hauntedtrait's chestnut ridge bc!
young adult, twenty-six, they/them
an angry five foot five inches
farrier and hoof health specialist
will actually fight you over your horse/cattle/sheep/goat's feet
can confirmed fireman carry anyone... try them
shoulders are a lot broader than they appear they're SHORT
asher downey is an outdoor-loving, loner animal enthusiast who wants the best for your animals and will absolutely tell you to shut up until they finish assessing the issue. they're not rude, just... brusque. to the point. while they have a mean mug and a lot of quick comebacks loaded up in that small frame, asher is actually quite a genial sim. raised by polite parents in a polite town, they genuinely are a "good neighbor to know" - it's just gettin' past their cold front that's the hard part!
the scar and the bite are from particularly nasty run-ins with local coyote packs: they now own two, having rescued them as pups!
likes: mini goats in particular, cooking selvadoradan food, country fashion, the creak of old wood floors, historic landmarks, riding bareback (ahem), bitless goddamn bridles, wide open fields, flower-scented perfumes, crossfit, chewing wheat unironically, animal cops mothafuckin houston babeyyy
dislikes: the big city, smog in general, beating around the bush, passive aggressiveness, gossip, complaints in general like omg, washing the dishes, being expected to be quiet, THEIR HEIGHT, the tourism industry, the general slow gentrification of chestnut ridge, molasses, and - funnily enough - chestnuts
i am sinfully late with this and you know i can't help but make a bedazzled butch but i am utterly in love with asher and i'm so thrilled with how they came out 🥹 feel free to take whatever creative license you'd like with them, my beloved fangs!! shorter hair, no hair, bigger muscles, etc. i don't have the updated height slider back in my game so they're not height-accurate in-game, i'm going to go back in and fix that dsfkjhsdkf. private dl if chosen, and even if not, i'm so excited to see what blue is going to get up to!! 🥹 cas and in-game outfit below:

Tiny Afterstory Drabble (spoilers) Locke/Loki
Context: Locke is a vampire now, and for privacy reasons rather than be a well-known hero in Baldur's gate 3, he declares himself dead to protect his new un-live.
The Undertaker, Jermaine: Well, It's good you had time to drop by the morgue. I'm currently in the progress of preparing your gravestone.
Locke: Oh, anything you need?
Undertaker: Hmm. The.. Public opinion already decided on the message they wanted, but I just need your full name.
Locke: Right, Astarion suggested I should change it if I'm going to declare the old me as dead.. Feels weird to me though.
Undertaker: You could just keep your first name?
Locke: I just have my first name, the middle one and last one were kind of made up on the spot..
Undertaker: *sighs* I don't suppose its that unique.. In Baldur's gate perhaps, but elsewhere..?
Locke: If it's not a risk to keep it.
Undertaker: Very well, but I'll add the extended name to the gravestone to make it more.. Realistic. Long names look official.
Locke: That was my exact same thought.
Undertaker: *scribbling it on parchment*
Locke: Loki Artorius Gaude, that's correct.. No.. You spelled my first name wrong.
Undertaker: ...Wait, it's not Lo-ki? Have I misheard it all the time..
Locke: Yes, its Loki. L-O-C-K-E
Undertaker:
Locke:
Undertaker: Boy.. You've been misspelling your own name for TEN YEARS.
Loki: WHAT. But-
Undertaker: *pulls a hand through his hair before pinching his nose* How.. Did you even come up with your name?
Loki: ..I was the lockpicker, so.. ''Lock'' ''Locki'' Low-key? Something like that. I thought it was cute.. And smart.
Undertaker: You were sixteen and you wanted your name to be cute and smart?
Loki: It was ten years ago.
Undertaker: Fair. Sigh.. *grumbles* Locke Artorius Gaude.. There. I'll have it carved soon.
Loki: *looks really embarrassed*
Undertaker: You're changing your name either way, just start spelling it differently, no one will bat an eye.
Loki: I'm fairly certain everyone in my life thought I spelled it L-O-K-I except for myself..
Undertaker: There's worse things to worry about.
Loki: Like what..?
Undertaker: Lice.
Loki: That's weirdly specific..
Undertaker: Get out. I'm working.

it’s just starting to hit me that, for the foreseeable future at least, morimyu is over.
it’s so odd to me. like… last time, we had the announcement on the last day. we had more to look forward to before we could get sad about what had just ended, so there was never really this limbo that we’re stuck in now.
there’s been no further announcement. totally fine, of course, because that’s not a no, per se… but it’s not exactly confirmation. i hope we might get more, but everything feels so final. a lot of the cast are thanking for a good series, not a good run, and it’s just… i’m scared for this to end.
for now, i wish to thank the cast and crew of morimyu for everything. they put on such a wonderful show that holds such a special place in my heart, and i wish them all the best in future endeavours. perhaps someday, they will make the wind blow in our hearts again.
