(COUNT)DOWN TO DAWNTRAIL — day four: shadowbringers
atlas my old friend I found some people want to lend a hand carrying the weight of the world
#ALWAYS crying about d'alia and thancred but especially over their growth in SHB#ha ha what if we were both stubborn people who always try to be a pillar for others to lean on and hide behind a façade of strength#and both internalizing guilt over the same woman we love; sister to one and (former) lover to the other#because she died to save a world and now it's on us to finish what she started#except now the warrior of light/darkness is a heap on the floor and perilously close to transforming into a monster in her efforts#with all the brunt of responsibility to take on the light and fresh guilt of losing the battle with it on her shoulders#and all you can do is carry her half-conscious mumbling body down the mountain and swear she'll see her family (sid + rielle) again#because she never left you alone in all her needling to support *you* and you will return the support even this much#learning to rely on each other……..#(count)down to dawntrail#dani plays ffxiv#game: ffxiv#oc: d'alia liveq#ch: thancred waters#lavampira poses#ffxiv gpose#gposers#miqo'te#shadowbringers spoilers

Durgetash Resurrection AU
"Is that...? That's my body. I remember now. The Morphic Pool. The Elder Brain, it... I was dead. What did you do?" "I made a deal... with Lord Bane."
#durgetash#bg3#enver gortash#the dark urge#durgetash resurrection au#it's about time i made some durgetash content that isn't just shitposting lol#i promise i do plan to actually write this fic#god i know this looks like a happy reunion but i promise it will not be that simple#he's not exactly happy she's usurped him as bane's chosen#and the torture he experienced at bane's hand when he was dead does impact him significantly#but at the same time he's glad it's over so he's also grateful too#but also he spent so much time in hell as a child wishing someone would come save him until he learned he couldn't rely on anyone else#that now that someone actually has saved him he doesn't know how to process it#and yes bane doesn't insist on having just one chosen but he's not going to re-accept gortash easily#he'll have to prove himself all over again whereas durge is on top of the world right now#and he doesn't want her hand outs#and bane may say he's fine with them ruling together for now but you just know he's going to pit them against each other too#and durge is hardly soft herself. she saved him for her own reasons but she's not going to give up power for him. the netherbrain is HERS.#she betrayed her father for this. she became a new person for this. she's not here just for him but she wants him here with her.#he can share her throne but he better understand who's in charge here. she'll tadpole him too if she has to.#though she hopes he won't make her do that (not that she'll tell him she hopes that)#and he hates her for it but he also wouldn't respect her if she were any different#it's complicated#plus they have to deal with any interpersonal drama while also trying to take over the world 😂#because despite how the “control the netherbrain” ending makes it seem#the journals and plans in gortash's office make it clear that not everyone in baldur's gate is tadpoled. not even close.#(the brain doesn't produce nearly enough tadpoles for that)#so they have to deal with keeping the rest of the population in line & trying to militarize the city & get footholds in other cities#not to mention they have to counteract the fact that every god and other powerful being in the world is going to be working against them#tennetash

based on a dream i’m having
original reference of the top image below cut:
#lackadaisy#oc#lackadaisy oc#lackadaisy fanart#my art#mordecai heller#noemi verano#i honestly do not know how radio earpieces work on cats lmao#sooooo to spoil this 'dream': noemi is a thief in an unnamed dimension with mordecai as her navigator/operator who also takes part in--#heist operations whenever noemi is absent; they work with other characters and ocs from different media/universes hence crossovers#noemi and mordecai are part of a 10-member gang called the Crossfire Thieves who rely on tactics during heists but despite being part of a-#powerful gang of thieves it took a while for the cats to learn about the strange technology they had to deal with in the unnamed dimension#fyi: the cats don't meet each other in the lackadaisy universe since noemi is already dead before mordecai became a marigold gangster

I'm sorry but if I see one (1) more take that says "vbs is the only group divided into pairs" you will see me on the news.
#jay rambles.txt#/j but Oh My God.#no they are not. they are not two units operating as one unit for no other reason than to achieve their goal#and if you really think that I'm assuming that you either 1) did not read anything past vbs main story 2) did not read anything#vbs have so many events about being a team and learning to rely on each other IN A ROW#singing in sync. stray bad dogs. awakening beat. power of unity. kiuan.#HOW are we still on this level of understanding. oh my GOD.#do they still action as sub-units? yeah but basically not since like second rotation has either performed solo.#do akitoya and anhane have different relationships with each other than either of teammates? also yes. partner culture is important#but they're still a team. above everything they're still a team. they do everything together As A Team. they support each other as Teammates#the correct answer to the discourse isn't 'actually it only applies to vbs' it's 'actually it doesn't apply to anyone'#(head in hands) so much of Akito's story Specifically is him learning to rely on other people. So much of An's story is FINDING those people#that Includes the entire team. do not do this to them.#jay pjsk critical.txt

kaziver works because their friendship is super fucked up and they're codependent. by the way.
#they're jealous of each other they hate each other#they would sooner die for the other than let anything bad happen to them#they could not possibly function without the other because they've learned to rely on the others strengths and can't mimic that on their ow#they don't exactly trust each other completely but they constantly put their lives in the others hands#they love each other#explicitly#they're weird fucked up and share their trauma :3#mighty med#kaziver

UNLOCKED SCORCHING SUN (sunburst fever) DANTE ! (Spoilers? Here is a short summary of my reactions):
-eiden i live for the cheesy things you say when you wanna bone someone. ehehehehe when the corny roleplay actually works too well🎶🎵
-oh um 😳 eiden getting himself off bygrinding against Dante's leg ahaha💦💦 ok uhhh 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦
- THE CONFUSED SPUTTERING WHEN EIDEN GETS SUDDENLY BLUE BALLED🤣🤣
-oh shir dante lore drop
-oh SGIT DAnte is working even harder than i thought just to make an equal society like,, dude,, that is sO MUCH to take on YOU ARE ONLY A BABY. BUT YOU TRY TO FIX CENTURIES OF INJUSTICE 😭
-aawwww...... gentle.....🥹
-DAMMIT EIDEN STOP BRATTING FOR 60SECONDS AAHHHHHAJAJAhaha oihh ahhhh
-dante is like the Grinch he doesn't know what the dokidoki in his chest is (.it's his heart) but. He'll get it one day
- they're cute 😭 and funny 😭😭 and eiden's "why do *i* have to go" is so... PETULANT i love them they're bickering idiots 🥳
ah, correction*: why "THE HELL HAVE" i gotta go. to be fair, that is a mild reaction to dante suddenly cockblocking him from himself(?). yeah. selfish lover moment deserves at MINIMUM that amount of sass 🤣
#danei#you know i wondered what the official ship name is for them because dantei was my instinctive thought#but i guess that could be mixed up with someone just trying to type Dante and they made a typo#i guess danei in that case is more PURPOSEFUL. like YES i had to STOP before typing out dante's full name#i was used to seeing eiden all... understanding and gentle and sweet with yaku#that his dante dynamic knocked me slightly askew (positive)#i love being reminded of eiden's range... bc all his clan members are such different individuals......#of course he caters to them differently... so powerful and adaptable#i really just wanna swaddle dante and put him in a restful burrito like srsly that guy needs a break#a break where things will not fall apart without him and everything is fine and he learns to rely on others#honestly i don't know how he's not MORE pissed off all the time. if i had to deal with what he deals with daily...#murder spree. or catatonic learned helplessness. there will be no in-between#anyway i hope these two figure more things out together and help each other be stupid without consequence :)#i want them pushing and shoving each other in the fields like schoolkids and yelling the blandest insult comebacks at each other#too bad neither of them can use the “YOUR MOM” finishing blow#or maybe it's funnier... if they both learn to use “YOUR MOM” with perfect timing#that's when their relationship will be in their final form. strong and evolved. beyond mortal comprehension#nu carnival dante#enei

also i think it would manifest in a form of self neglect again bc hes always been like that. he doesnt take care of himself but (initially) rags on mithrun about not doing the exact same thing. kabru doesnt clean his room or feed himself properly or give himself any kind of kindness because he just doesnt think its important and values the safety of other people above his own wellbeing
#reason number 542 kabru needs mithrun as a live-in pet. something to take care of and as a reminder to take care of himself too in the#process. jk no but this is something that is compelling to me the fact that i think that while continuing their friendship#in melini they end up relying on each other a bit. kabru looks out for/after mithrun and in turn mithrun wld pick up some of those habits 2#guys who learn how to be self-sufficient thru taking care of a loved one#mine#kabru#mithrun#dunmeshi

I'm starting to consider actually writing and posting the Enchanted AU so I can sway people with my Priskep propaganda
#there's a line i want to include that i really like#“we were both prisoners. and i was too focused on the fact that my own chains were tangible to see how much you were suffering”#it's about the fact that they were both in a horrible situation with no way out and they had to learn how to trust and rely on each other#i know this fandom is more about shipping voices and vessels but. priskep has slowly become everything to me#also another line: “i've never been a fan of small talk.” “a woman after my own heart”#slay the princess#stp the prisoner#voice of the skeptic#priskep

i understand where the idea of Fugo wanting and trying to get Sheila E. to be more... I guess adjusted? comes from but calling it "getting Sheila E. out of her shell" is really really funny to me cuz it makes it sound like she's just a bit shy instead of incredibly contemptuous, distrusting and hateful of most people on earth.
#fugo.txt#sheilaposting#INCREDIBLY funny on its own purely because this would be Fugo going 'i can fix her' about the trainwreck that is Sheila E.#Personally I don't think its that. simple? i guess? god english is hard sorry#i think they both can learn and rely on each other. they're on the same page and walking the same path#and its not something they can currently share with anyone but each other#however Fugo DOES have more experience dealing with people than Sheila E. and i feel thats important to point out#like. Fugo HAS had friends. Sheila E. hasn't ever had any friends ever apart from her dog lol.#So i think Fugo would have to take an initiative to start a friendship. like Sheila E. wouldn't Do That lol#it wouldn't come naturally to her

my hag romance murder mystery au turning to magistrate astarion working with executor shri’iia we kind of like that development
#why I never considered their past jobs kinda worked well together LOL#like she technically was her matriarch’s executor with the way she hunted people down and all#and he’d be sending rando and poor people to death for their crimes bc god knows if he was fair and had honor#in this au he does not bc he’s indebted to cazador (he’s not a vamp tho that’ll b too easy for a murder mystery)#like hag romance working together to solve the murders themselves then when they’re done they give the findings to whoever is formally in#charge of solving it then disappearing 👍 I also want a scenario where they’re both using each other for their own means as in#shri’iia needs him to take her back down the underdark bc she dk where to go but then she learns that she wasn’t supposed to survive this#mission anyway so she’s like 🧍♀️ well I’ll figure that out later#astarion wanted to either frame her or use her against cazador so he can be free and run away#mid way he changes her plans bc Uh Oh there’s Feelings Involved#either mid way or later down the line I haven’t decided yet. but whatever they do in the end kind of ‘frees’ them from both their conflicts#they end up running away together 👍 live ur best life queens#I’m also hmm stuck on what exactly astarion is indebted for like it has to be something drastic and he’d be desperate to rely on cazador#(though I’m thinking that cazador set up the whole scheme and he just got played - which parallels shri’iia getting bamboozled too)#when ur charlatans who have 8 int 🧍♀️#but basically astarion when he sentences someone instead of sending them to the gallows he sends them to cazador to be ‘reformed’ but then#they end up disappearing from the plane of existence. so he’s like trafficking people 🧍♀️ but then I’m like idk what would’ve happened for#him to do something so drastic and actually go through with doing It and multiple times Too hmm#we’re still brainstorming …

Made my OC again using this wonderful windswept oc maker :')
#the time goes by and I've yet to write her. hmm#had a headache all day so I guess there was nothing to be done about that but#trust me when I say I'm always thinking about Eir 🫶 she is everything to me#I started planning the short Dainsleif x OC fic I wanna write and although it's simple I'm really excited to write their dynamic ahh#two Khaenri'ahns who live with so much guilt. two lonely people who met by sheer luck and found comfort in each other's presence#no longer remembering who they were to one another before Khaenri'ah fell#just. slowly teaching each other that they can and should let go of their burdens. that they can learn to rely on one another. they 🥹😭😞#oc: eir

Thinks about arms outstretched and has to lie facedown on the ground for nine hours again
#taz#taz: balance#it’s NARRATIVELY PERFECT#like yes they hella ignored the mechanics to make it happen but on the pure improvisational level#it’s absolutely fucking NUTS to me what they pulled off in that moment#because in that moment ALL THREE OF THEM set aside their personal fears and self-doubts for the sake of their friends#Magnus who always wanted to go out in a blaze of glory#who has just lost even his revenge quest#fights so DESPERATELY HARD to STAY ALIVE and relies on his friends to rescue him#Taako ‘good out here’ Taaco who throws HIS WHOLE SOUL OUT OF HIS BODY#despite being on the verge of death already he leaves himself utterly defenseless to throw himself into danger for magnus’s sake#merle who has ALWAYS doubted his place in the group and is actively losing his powers#doesn’t hesitate and doesn’t question his own competence#instead he plants himself and becomes the root that anchors them and brings them home#and because right after this they reunite with Barry and start getting the reveals about the voidfish#this is functionally the climax and culmination of their arc as a trio#they found each other and learned to trust each other again and they became friends who would do anything for each other#even without their memories!!!! they did that!!!!!!!!#what happens after then gets to build onto and around that relationship#so that the finale gives us the trio whose bond has been deepened and multiplied by stolen century#but they’re still THEM. still the trio we have grown to know and love throughout the whole podcast#bc they have something unshakeable with or without their memories#ARMS OUTSTRETCHED IS A NARRATIVELY PERFECT MOMENT AND I AM NEVER FUCKING OVER IT

Big misconception about boundaries: they are for yourself, not other people. You can tell someone that something makes you uncomfortable and hopefully they'll care enough not to do it, but you should never rely on that hope. You set a boundary for yourself. If they do something after you have stated your feelings, then respect your own boundary and disengage.
#ooc : the mortal#so you know#people need to learn to want to communicate instead of relying on assumptions#and when boundaries are concerned if you have any smidge of care for the other person then offer them a space of grace if they get curious#about it and if they show interest in learning#we speak the same language but we don't have the same internal interpretation. that's why we gotta talk shit out#if all parties care then work things out. if someone doesn't care? grieve them. grieve what has been and what could have been...#do your best to move on to better people#own yourself. hold onto your principles values and boundaries. offer grace. people are not a monolith...#obvi if someone makes fun of your boundaries that's just an asshole move#but sometimes your boundary can trigger someone else's boundary. when that happens have the humility to talk further about it#ask about compromises if the other person wishes to disengage. get curious. we honestly have to stop assuming we comprehend the same#because we are all extremely different based on our individual experiences alone. again - we are not a monolith#we each give each other pieces of a puzzle of mutual understanding. we are limited and ever growing#we will be a wip for the rest of our lives. there is no end in sight except death or health issues that can prevent#growth in a certain direction. create a world of compassion with others. lord knows we don't live in one. we gotta make it together#and hopefully leave it for the people that come after us

When I was making my first trying-to-be-serious ocs it was in the start of the 2010s (and I mean the START, 2010-2012) and there was a big “anti Mary-sue” movement on deviantart (the website I spent half my internet time on and was posting my art on) and I liked to make my character designs pretty extra (although compared to modern stuff they look pretty normal) so I started to get self-conscious. At the time though I was watching soul eater (and there was another thing I’m forgetting and it’s really frustrating me) and I saw that it was popular with a cool art style and the characters were extra AF, so I was like “okay. Maybe, as long as I can draw my character often and consistently it doesn’t matter if they are wild!” and you know what? Early teen me was RIGHT. Not about many things, but about this in particular she was!
#emma posts#girl was relying too heavily on character tropes and some stuff of that era#but she was so right about character design#if maybe using a few too many colors for each one#now people are just being wild with it and it fucking works#two examples I can think of in modern popular animation are mha/bnha and hazbin hotel (still haven’t watched that one)#but damn if those characters don’t look like some of my favorite early teen creations#and the artist made it WORK#i don’t think I’ve gone quite as wild as bnha but you know what? one of my old worlds still could#I’m sentimental about that one and even if I’ve been stuck I’m still taking that one with me forever#other projects might come and go. but (project currently named absolution) is constant#as well as its main cast. I’ve been learning a bit more about some of the mythologies I used as inspiration and it’s been giving a lot of#ideas for how I can develop things. it has not solved a few hang ups though#the biggest one being what was the divide about and how was it defined?’#it’s been made more gray as I learn more about mythology and folklore#the Christian aspects of it can be a bit clear. but others have more gray areas and i like it but it also makes things a bit frustrating#interestingly enough. flight rising having so many different species on one world has given me some ideas#I am a bit reluctant to use too much from outside certain cultures though. which can appear a bit biased and probably is. but I don’t want#to mess up something you can’t really change about a creature from a culture in less familiar with. it would be a dick move#but yeah. if death the kid can exist my weirdos can as well
