watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.
like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.
I'm writing a paper on Goncharov right now and I can sooth your nerves that the difference between Gonch and whatever's happening on tiktok is not the fake media. Fake media and fake people and fake history will always and has always existed. Neither is the collective storytelling.
The difference is that we made Goncharov real by imitating a fandom for it. Like yes mass hallucinating a movie was fun and an incredible feat of collective creativity. But the *way* we created Goncharov is what will always make it special.
We, as a website, spontaneously created a perfect pastiche of fandom, one that was so identical to any other fandom behaviour it made the movie seem real.
As I quote thetwistyoucantresist in my paper, “maybe the real Goncharov was the Fandom we made along the way”.
Goncharov isnt the fake movie its the fake fandom, that's what special and unique and one of a kind
Same Halloween party, everyone assumes neither of these two are in costume but Andrew is secretly wearing those retractable vampire fangs and the only people that know are Renee and Neil
SO, I made my own tragic legendary sea cookie since that seems to be the theme for devsis in between comms-
Beneath the dark, forgotten waves of the west sea, amongst a once bustling and colorful coral forest is it's sleepy monarch; Grand Reef Cookie. A jolly, yet strangely complaisant individual who spends his frail, doddering years tending to the decaying remains of his children's once proud homeland.
They have all left, of course. Some more hesitant than others to leave their loving father's side. But, Grand Reef Cookie was insistent of their retreat. That, unlike him, they were not bound to their namesake in soul and body. That the ocean held much more plentiful and vibrant sights that were not to be wasted fretting over a forgotten relic of the past.
That doesn't stop many from visiting though... Bringing with them trinkets and offerings to help alleviate his wistful loneliness.
But, unlike some of his children, Grand Reef doesn't harbor any resentment for cookies. It's just not in his nature to harbor any hatred for... Well, anything, really. A reef is meant to be a nurturing and peaceful place for even the most ruthless apex predator, to be unwelcoming and unkind to even one creature would go against his very nature.

Why be a betrayed and/or volatile tragic, when you can be a sweet, hospice patient kind of tragic? That, and sea pollution and global warming tragic, I mean it's right there-

Fit: Ok, c'mon, no no no, come on, we got this we got this!
Please also ruin Konig tho. Yes he's big and scary, yes he's also baby, and yes he would do anything the reader asked of him. Like if she begs him to manhandle her, how can he say no??? It would kill him to deny her of something 😌
i like the idea of making such a massive man cry.
kinda nsfw under the cut
NSFW, kinda gen!neutral reader; nothing fleshed out just wondering what it would be like to suck König off until he cries. this is mostly just me rambling. he gives me very gentle!sub vibes.
probably not what you were going for, op! sorry; but i watched some videos and now i just??? wanna see him tremble and cry and fist the sheets until his knuckles turn white, begging you in broken English and German that so thick and slurred, that a native Austrian would have no idea what he was saying to let him cum because he's been sooooo good. and i went a little crazy. might flesh this out later.
—dragging it out until his massive thighs are quivering under your hands, until he's begging you to stop while he chokes on his sobs
—trying to make him break: he's so gentle all the time, and pushing him to his limit until he grabs you? takes what he wants? and then immediately apologises for "hurting" you? hot.
—when he gets desperate from all the teasing, and can't stop his hips from rutting up, trying to force more and more of him in your mouth
—the stammers in an amalgamation of broken English and German as he begs you to let him cum - he's been so good, hasn't he?? - and apologises for not behaving earlier, so please please please, he can't take it, anymore—
—his filthy, choked moans when he finally does cum, voice thick from the tears you made him spill, and chanting your name in a warbled hymn as you swallow every drop
—that unbearably endearing determination when he turns to you, and says it's his turn to make you feel good; his fierce grit undermined by the nervous shake of his hands, the red eyes that stare at you, glossy from his tears, and the little sniffles he lets out, muffled by his mask
—making him choke on his spit when you tell him how good he tastes
(it might break him, then, when you tell him you want to sit on his cute, tear-stained face—)
Stellar is the best fan kid I’ve ever seen. She’s not just a mix of blue and red, she has a cool personality, SHE HAS FUCKING ICE SKATES WHICH IS AWESOME, she has such a nice character design imma cry and you’ve drawn her both as a wee little lassi and teen.
