> [Take the blade]

You take the blade from the table. It would be difficult to You take the blade from the table. It would be difficult to You take the blade from the table. It would—

VOICE OF THE HERO: Aaaand we're done here.

Thanks.

VOICE OF THE HERO: Don't mention it.

As soon as the blade is in your hand, the doors swing open, as though inviting you to the basement below.

> [Enter the basement]

You step through the doors and onto an elegant, carpeted stairway, crafted from the same dark wood as the rest of the cabin. What dim light managed to reach the first floor is even fainter now, fading away as the stairs turn out of sight.

It smells like... nothing. There is no scent you can discern, not even that of the wood surrounding you. If If If If If—

VOICE OF THE HERO: If there is something alive down there, we're well able to deal with it.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: If whatever's down there is alive, we might be able to reason with it.

VOICE OF THE OBSESSED: It doesn't matter what's down there. We still have to do the same thing either way.

As if on cue, you hear... a noise.

"IsYourllo?eethere?notherchoesagain?Please,low.down!fraid,makelitselfone. home!"

VOICE OF THE MEEK: ...What? What was that?

VOICE OF THE HERO: I guess that... really doesn't explain anything.

VOICE OF THE OBSESSED: We didn't need an explanation. What we need is to keep going.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: Or.

VOICE OF THE OBSESSED: Not this again.

VOICE OF THE HERO: Look, we all agreed we need to be doing this.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: Some of us agreed under duress.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: You don't have to do this, you know that? You've still got a chance to back out. We can go away from the scary noise and live the rest of our life without being ripped to shreds.

VOICE OF THE HERO: What? No, you can't!

VOICE OF THE OBSESSED: How long is 'the rest of our life' supposed to be? The. World. Ends. We saw it happen.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: No, we didn't! We saw him die! And you don't even know for a fact why that happened!

VOICE OF THE MEEK: You don't have to do everything they say. You still have a choice.

Choices:

(Meek) Oh, thank goodness. I really don't want to do this. [Turn around and leave]

It's going to be fine. Noises can't hurt us. [Continue down the stairs]

"Hello to you, too!" [Continue down the stairs]

Okay. To the point of no return we go. [Continue down the stairs]

[Silently continue down the stairs]

The anti-gerrymandering rule is not in effect here. Whichever single option wins will win regardless.

a little morning pick-me-up

-

A morning on the way to Baldur's Gate. The party booked themselves into an inn and enjoyed real beds, hot baths, and privacy for the first time since the Nautiloid.

Gale and Mayhew shared a room, of course. They were filled with the relief of surviving the shadows and the glow of finally getting together, so their private room was probably a blessing for the whole party, honestly.

-

This was some ascended anatomy practice! Referenced some great stock from @null-entity.

#some people speed run the galemance but i played it as the world's longest slow burn #act 1 was fuuull of uneven feelings and perceived unrequited feelings and slow-building respect #mayhew was immediately down bad & suffering after the weave scene. Plus Gale's lukewarm reaction to flirting felt like people-pleasing #gale slowly emerged from his depression hole much later and only then caught real feelings - but the orb put paid to acting on them #so in my game they simply had a very loaded laden-with-unspoken-feelings friendship until near the end of act 2 #they got like one (1) week of happiness before the horrors of act 3 hit. starting with Mayhew getting unwillingly astral tadpole'd #it's tragic and i love it #also: chubby gale. tumblr do you see my vision #mayhew sees my vision #please also appreciate mayhew's bed head and the too-big-for-gnomes dishware. i chuckled about those #my art #mayhew #gale dekarios #gnome tav #gale x tav #bg3 #baldur's gate 3

What was I when you first knew me?

#minthara my beloved #this is in my top 3 interactions with her #i had to do something special with it #and preserve it forever #for Emotions™#i adore her so much #i love her so much #nobody since daenerys targaryen has had such an impact on my life #;w;#also this is SO CRUSHING #when you have done a run where you do kill her. my very first run. i didn't know she could be recruited at all. i thought she was just #“another boss” that needs to die so i can progress in the game #so this interaction is absolutely heartbreaking when you know you have done this to her previously #she dies a mindless thrall if you kill her in act 1 #it's incredibly sad to think about #minthara baenre #bg3 #video #baldur's gate 3

AND I MET THE CHANGE GOD TOO. OKAY. COOL OKAY

#I WASNT EVEN MEANING TO SO I ACCIDENTALLY SKIPPED THE DIALOGUE BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING FUCK #ill go and find it later if only to give myself peace of mind. BUT WOW. WHAT THE FUCK #my original plan was to 1) work my way to the king and talk to him 2) doom myself and take everyone down with me 3) loop back to floor 3 #so i can visit the observatory and scrounge for any lore. although since i got killed that run siffrin asked the king to kill him first #which was intereresting. but i decided to have all doors unlocked that time around so i can just get the starcrest and go #but for some reason it wasnt working so i went to get the keyknife since i was already there and completely forgot i already had it #from the previous loop and THATS what triggered it. IT WAS FUNNY BUT ALSO SCARY BUT ALSO I THINK I GET WHAT THEY MEAN #about siffrin going back without actually changing. going along with a script even if his feelings on things change #the same way he has his own small rituals like the carving thing and does it for constancy. reassurance or safety even #and the times when he breaks script and ends horribly like the sadness attacking thing and bonnie yelling at him cause him to loop #to avoid it. although i cant really say anything bc id probably do the same thing. maybe not for the same reasons since im cruel #and make him do the worst to see what will happen since i put curiosity over rejection sensitivity as an observer and player but well.#i feel wrongfooted bringing it up since i dont have it myself but i have to wonder if this kind of leans into ocd tendencies.. i remember #reading something about how ocd is fuelled by fear. and things like counting and rituals are kind of used to cope with that?#if anyone knows anything more or talked abt it already id be really interested in hearing it bc im almost sure im not #the first to come to this conclusion. but i simply dont know enough nor have the confidence to broach the topic rn esp with how often #misconceptions around ocd get casually passed around so its hard for me to know what is and isnt a baseless assumption #puppy plays isat #in stars and time #isat #playthru #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 3 spoilers #change god #WHAT WAS THAT WITH WEARING LOOPS FACE THOUGH WHAT THE FUCKKK

Thoughts on Sanji enjoying feminine things?

short thoughts: i love it and think he should do it more often esp because i feel like he definitely does in canon and just won't actually let himself do so. i don't draw him in drag all the time for no reason

long thoughts: [breathes in]

i could write an entire essay on sanji's character in terms of femininity, queerness, and misogny BUT we don't have time for all that so let's just focus on the fact i feel like there's actual evidence he enjoys traditionally non-masculine things and oda actually puts him in situations to highlight this pretty frequently

-i am guilty of calling sanji a metrosexual . it's a stupid word but it fits him. he's the only guy on the ship that showers every day and the only other ppl on the ship who do this are the two girls. man also wears suits like mad and has a fairly...daring fashion sense outside of that (granted, most ppl in one piece do.) but he just cares about these things more than most guys! and that doesn't even seem like something that came from his upbringing at baratie bc...no one else dressed like that. he just does that himself. i also can't stop thinking about the sbs where someone suggested sanji would be a stylist in real life and oda went "yes agreed"

-the kamabakka moment...okay terribly offensive and transmisogynistic (won't get into it bc i have several times before) BUT if we can take one thing from that it's that sanji *did* dress up in makeup and a dress and like. frolic with the okama. it's framed as "against his will" but he definitely could have torn that shit off quickly and easily enough, yet oda decided to imply sanji enjoyed it for at least a time before he chickened back out and called the place hell for 2 years. yea, it was probably for oda's idea of 'comedic effect' but this is, once again, one piece. sometimes the humor is part of the plot. sometimes very real information is given through the guise of humor. going off of this u could mention that (also offensive but meant to be funny) joke with the blood donation scene from fishman island

-idk just something about the way oda writes him fighting lots of queer or non-conventionally masculine characters. i feel like it says something about sanji having his own internal struggle about his masculinity- which we know must be true bc of his whole list of virtues he never breaks a la women because of his upbringing with good ol' fashioned zeff and uh. "men should be war machines" germa over here. he fights bon clay and queen for christ sake.

-the scene where he's like happy as a clam to be in nami's body in punk hazard is another comedy gag that's also a little . interesting. I could say oda just keeps accidentally coding him but I feel like oda's very intentionally with his characterization and the subtlety of it

-overall he's just clearly so interested in masculinity since zeff raised him to be that way and he holds zeff in such high regards in combination with his background with germa, his mother and his sister, leading to a I Have To Be A Perfect Gentlemen And Also Respect Women by Putting Them On the Highest of Pedestals. and this in turn has made him reluctant to engage with femininity in any way that could be perceived as Not fitting this manly persona he's made for himself, yet he keeps getting put up against it in various small moments in the series whether comedic or not. I don't think oda frames sanji's relationship with masculinity entirely as a character flaw or weakness to be fixed, bc oda seems to respect sanji's views/they align with oda's own views. BUT I do think he knows it's partially susceptible to change and....he makes Sanji encounter these things so often for a reason. does that make sense?

in my ideal world sanji 20 years in the future is a bit more feminine even if he's still a casanova ladies man. like he accepted the okama influence in his life, he's just more quiet about it, lmao. I mean did u see his hair for oda's 40 yr old design

so yeah. he does, I think. quietly and deep down.

#asks #replies #one piece #sanji #i probably forgot more but . u get the point. he has certain subtext that i enjoy even tho it's infuriating to watch him sometimes #sanji does a lot of sterotypically feminine behaviors too in his swooning and emotional outburts and running from spiders but #thats only partially related .#its funny comparing him to franky who is seen as super manly [even engaging with señor pink in the Manliness Fight]#and yet franky is seen as more manly bc of how he looks and acts even tho he 1. wears a speedo everywhere 2. wheres pigtails and braids #3. bawls at anything that moves
