Y/N, admiring Ghost working out from afar: *sighs wistfully* Oh, that body of his...

Soap, smug: *nudges them* Someone's got the hots for our L.T., ae?

Y/N: Oh, it's not like that. I just wish I was tall and big like him...

Soap: *is imagining a disturbing vision of Ghost wearing Y/N's face as a mask*

This is not BG3 related at all disclaimer, just blowing off steam about my life:

My girlfriend just got diagnosed with Celiac disease, and with her circumstances and diagnosis, that means no gluten and no dairy forever (as far as we know currently)

She's devastated and goddamn it's hard to see someone you love so sad, but I'm taking the fuck it we ball approach

If she's no gluten and no dairy, guess what so am I - bread can kiss my ass!!!!!!!!!!

It's going to be a huge change but FUCK IT WE BALL!! I've already made a Pinterest, I'm following a bunch of new celiac Youtubers, I am going to learn to make the tastiest damn gf and df meals and baked goods ever conceived or I will die trying AND I will be that girl calling the restaurant beforehand if we go out to make sure everything is legit and safe

This is my whole life now this is my new personality, BG3 is now my second personality, I'm Celiac chick now

It the end of day 14 sober

I had a terrible day, professionally. Just gut wrenching, finding out someone I work with is actively trying to ruin my reputation in our field just because they don't like me (I called them out, rightfully so, a while back, but I didn't expect a smear campaign of lies against me when I addressed a truthful issue with them)

I won't go further into it.

But know what... I was offered wine, scotch, carolins, and a beer at a dinner tonight and I still said no.

I have a bag with a smoke in it behind my house and I'm not going to light it

And I'm miserable. I'm anxious. My heart hurts and rings with that insane fight or flight anxiety that affects your mood, diet, thoughts.

Still. I just have to get through a couple more hours, and then I'll sleep. And I'll wake up tomorrow still sober.

So fuck that guy

But Im amazing.

and if I were to say the bracken from lethal company is sexy…

Its so funny seeing people 'realize' Elon Musk is a moron but in my language 'Teslo' means 'idiot' so i dunno i always thought the implication was here

[cherrylssues]

today I got scolded for trying to sexualize the bracken

okay actually. more about Sal.

in the last post I was talking about him as a duality figure, and while I still think that's true, I think that's true about all five of them really. That's kind of the core of the mask symbolism overall: the showing/revealing of the face, and more specifically how quickly and readily the face is revealed, is a visual proxy for the transition between the dual moral states, the human and inhuman. (Those classes are obviously insufficient to really capture the nuance necessary here—the most interesting part is that everyone is human, including those doing things we wish to classify as "inhuman" acts—but I'm using them for now as shorthand for all the messier stuff.)

As such being masked or unmasked becomes a sign (in the semiotic sense) for the active state of the character—human/inhuman, connection/rejection, compassion/violence—or even a delineator demarcating those modes. So when Garv is the first to remove his mask in #2, we read this (I read this) as a moment of discontinuity initially, the "human" face emerging only a short ways into the "inhuman" act. But it's not a discontinuity so much as it is a tell, a tell that the "human" side is perhaps closer to the "inhuman" side than we would like to believe, a tell that Garv in particular can live as his human self in the inhuman scene in a way the others cannot or will not yet.

("This shit is wasteful then," Garv says, to which Stone replies, "Fine, you can think that. This isn't about what you think." Implied: It's about what someone else thinks. Implied: It's about what Sal thinks. At least, Stone believes (wants to believe) that's what it's about.)

This goes back to being about Sal instead of about Garv because of the way that Sal is the exact inverse, the one keeping his mask on after all the others have long since abandoned theirs—though perhaps abandoned isn't the right word, as none of the others showed up masked in #4, maybe forsaken is more accurate—and he keeps his mask on all the way through #4. The obvious consequence of this is that Sal is preserving the distinction between his two sides far more than the others are. To what end?

More to come on masks and the relationship between Sal and Stone, probably.

paintings and sketches I will probably never finish but I love them anyway

[rawrsatthetree]

Working out to loose weight < working out so I’m jacked enough Astarion would think I can protect him despite me being 5’3” with a voice that sounds like Minnie Mouse

[eeldritchblast]

Genuine question, why do you dislike Garrus?

Garrus: I hate being a space cop. Space cops suck. Me: Nice this could be a good story about— Garrus: We should be allowed to do whatever we want without repercussions or "red tape" it's not fair Me: Never fucking mind

(Also he's just plain boring compared to literally every other character imo he's got nothing interesting going on. And I can't stand how the series shoves him down your throat like he's expected to be your favourite - I know people complain about Liara being this way too but at least Liara is interesting.)
