Sometime in November of 2022, I started a spreadsheet to document all the awesome fics I was reading on Tumblr, and while I didn't talk about it, I continued doing this in 2023 too.
And I just got around to thinking it might be a good idea to see how many fics/posts I read last year in total. drum roll...
228 individual posts! That includes oneshots as well as chapters of series and the odd masterpost
I knew I read a lot in some months but it still is a lot. At the same time, it's not nearly enough because I know there are so many more amazing fics out, that I want to read and comment on and get a chance to reblog and more keep getting posted!

Despite all of his failed insight checks across every season, Gorgug is forever the insight guy to me. Which is even more insane considering his wis is 12. But it just suits him so perfectly. Stats be damned, you ask me who my go-to for insight is in that group, I'm gonna say Gorgug almost immediately. And I don't even think that's because he does insight so often—in my head he's just genuinely good at it. In specific circumstances, yes other bad kids are much better suited for it than he is. But Gorgug carries this aura of emotional intelligence and awareness that trounces any other statistical or contextual factor.
Even in the way he prompts things. Like with the connection to Lydia and the red crystals, for example. Any time he poses a question that knocks us all on our asses, it's always in the form of an insight check. It's always insight, even when it's this crazy revelation about some insane magical bullshit that you'd prolly attribute more towards int or arcana. But IN THAT CONTEXT, for HIM, insight makes the MOST sense. It's his thing.
Can barbarians have proficiency in insight? Can artificers? Can barbarian-artificers? Maybe it's odd in a dnd party for the rage-guy to come off as the most emotionally intuitive. But if any one of the bad kids were to have it, I'd assume Gorgug, without question.

thinking about marinette and how passionate about sustainable fashion she would be. always keeping scraps of fabric to use as stuffing or fibers so she never wastes anything- donating all the clothes she doesn't wear anymore or that doesn't fit her personally to children and women's shelters so she knows they aren't being redistributed for greed- buying from local artists and designers and seamstresses to support their small businesses- teaching her friends and family how to patch holes in clothes or how to properly wash and take care of them so less clothing is thrown out in her community :')

(in general, removed from any specific au's where he needs to swim/not swim for Plot)
(personally, i think my stance is that he has some ability to keep himself afloat in calmer waters- on the shore or in a pool- but not in the way where its a particular skill. hes spend enough time dicking around in the shallows with Jack & Sam & Ed to know how to handle himself in water where he cant consistently reach the bottom, to feel comfortable cooling off by a waterfall, but is also keenly aware that if he goes overboard, even in relatively calm waters, being able to swim isnt going to do anything to save his life if a dinghy isnt sent. hes not gonna drown the second he's in the ocean or anything, but hes screwed if the waters a little too rough or its late or a raid and it isnt noticed before the ships a way away.)

grabbing fistfuls of my own hair rocking back and forth repeating to myself like some kind of fucked up wizardly enchantment you should care about womens sports because its literally the same fucking sport why do i have to bend over backwards to convince you to care about womens sports like at an abstract level it is the exact same fucking thing and yet you cannot bear to possibly watch it unless you think the women are hot or there is some sort of social gain why is it so hard for you to care about womens sports when they are literally doing all of it better than the men

there's just something about having a kid look up at you and talk about the seeds of your own dreams or ambitions like the tree has already grown and the fruit just needs to ripen and when it does, they'll be first in line for a bite.
