Someone else has probably said this better by now, but I think the biggest reason why the new a:tla show seems so wooden and kinda dead to me is that the characters are already “perfect”. They don’t have any flaws or quirks or notable character traits. They’re all perfect and moral and upstanding and boring as hell. Beyond the fact that all the filler episodes were cut (which is a whole other issue that I find annoying. Showing us who the characters are in their downtime, when they’re relaxing, is how we get to know characters. We don’t get that in the new show and it suffers) any defining moments of the characters that HIGHLIGHT WHO THEY ARE are gone. Poof. Vanished. The characters are boring and generic. They’re already perfect ideals and there’s no room to grow.
Personally, I don’t think Larian employees (or any employee of any company tbh) should be in fan-run discord servers. It feels very parasocial and can be unhealthy.
That being said….. I’m glad this whole Astarion/Durge writer situation happened and is bringing the blatant inequality for the other companions have content wise — especially Karlach and Wyll — to the forefront. This needs to be talked about more, and I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more posts about it. I get the appeal for Astarion because he’s the pretty elf “I can fix him” vampire, but he’s not the only companion. Larian needs to flesh out Karlach and Wyll more before they even think about moving to another game — and it better not be in the form of a DLC
I don't understand why Liam doesn't change his management like Louis did for example. Surely he can find much better!
I wish he would just fire them! At this point they aren’t doing anything good for him or his image. And that whole bullshit of them being his “day oners” is just crap. They have proven time and time again how they don’t have Liam’s best interests at heart.
And btw this isn’t normal at all. We got no official statement! Only information from tabloids and this girl that used his health in a video to promote herself. What the actual fuck???
So my dad’s concept of worrying about my health is not actually being worried about me and how I am doing but being worried that he has to worry about me and the fact that my sickness puts stress on him and takes away time for him.
I swear to G-d I wish certain parents understood that there’s a difference between gentle parenting and permissive parenting. i work in a toy store and I cannot TELL you how many times i’ve had permissive parents come in and let their children mess up entire displays and then not fix it or tell them to stop or anything like that. i’m talking like toys ALL over the floor. and the parents don’t say anything to them, or offer to help clean it up or anything. as someone who majored in child development, and who also has common sense, i LOVE gentle/respectful parenting, but permissive parenting is not it. at all.
I think I told yall that my Dr’s office was very confused when I called to check in about the wheelchair and hip brace I requested they ask my insurance about, I have an appointment in an hour to talk about it again and if they lose the paperwork again I will be losing It.
the worst thing about christmas is that i don’t have my friends to steal me away from it because they’re all celebrating with their families and i’m forced to stick around one for long hours of torture
I have a prescription for testosterone, I haven’t gotten it yet. It was prescribed in early October, and I have yet to actually receive TESTOSTERONE. I have received syringes, and needles, but because CVS doesn’t have, in house, the amount my doctor prescribed: baby doesn’t get their T.
