I am trying to get through the whole podcast by the end of May and I am enjoying it immensely. Almost halfway.

unfortunately I have opinions about the ascendant astarion ending and I have been holding back from saying it. but it's a problem that applies to the whole game and it's been annoying me
what's actually weird about the ascendant "romance" scene is that the writer considers it a tempting option for the player. They wrote it to be bad, but they also think it's a fun and sexy option. Same goes for the haarlep scene which they also wrote that way because they find it sexy. Except finding this sexually appealing entirely hinges on the idea that the player is a submissive. So RIP to a scene that the rest of us could have found sexy because the lead narrative designer was a submissive. lmao
In this game you can have a scene where you have to kneel for a male character. But you can never have a male character do the same for you. (Halsin doesn't count. It's a vanilla scene, he is not submissive there and we are not even asking/telling him to kneel down) You don't get such options, not even if you play a drow female! RIP the number one reason for playing drow female to be honest. lol You can kneel and fully submit to ascendant astarion or fully submit to mizora or fully submit to haarlep or submit to lae'zel or submit to minthara. you can get whipped by abdirak or you can tell him "touch me and lose a hand" he even responds positively to this remark and yet the possibility to flip the dynamic doesn't exist. There is never an option where a male character truly submits to the player. RIP to a scene that would have been the opposite of the traditional dynamic. the potential that existed but they never used the opportunity
By the way, how interesting that Lae'zel is dominant but she is a woman so ofc you get the option to tell her “no you will submit to me”. You never get such switch options with any of the male characters... Obviously it's not ascendant where they could have made that an option. My point is that it's NEVER an option among so many male characters.
It's a cool idea that the bad ending in a romance means "I saw this character as a sex object" except it falls apart when the scene is very sexually unappealing to anyone who is more dominant leaning. If I see a character as a sex object then I would place them in sexual situations which are appealing to me. so the message doesn't quite work. because there isn't anything that I can selfishly choose for myself just because I like it and I find it sexy.

I have sat at my desk drawing and farting around for like I think eight hours? And I have not in fact finished any art. I was updating my commission info carrd and making scheduled posts for the rest of the month
This what I have after two hours and then some
I have gotten up like
less than five times
I'm feeling as right as rain (which is funny because it's raining and thundering rn) I'm doing great :)

Game shows i have watched ranked by how good i think i would be at them from worst to best
Make some noise - I think I would be extremely bad at this because i don't like noises
8 out of 10 cats do countdown - I would not be bad at this game except that the ticking clock and jimmy carr both really fucking piss me off. Again, Noises.
The Chase - Listen I think I COULD do this, except there are a lot of questions about british geography and I've never been to britain and I haven't bothered to study it
Tipping point - let's be real this one is 90% luck and 5% questions about british geography
Game changer - How could I possibly know how good i would be at this one
The Hard Quiz - I would cry but I might be okay at it if i picked the right topic (the crying is because I cannot take a joke and the host is mean)
Taskmaster (any version*) - I think i could be uniquely funny in this because of my disabled body, and my autistic transgender swag. Would I win the series? No, but I might win one episode.
Who wants to be a millionaire - I COULD win this. I could. Watch me. I might flunk out. But I think I'd get at least a little money. Again. my Autistic Transgender Swag is important.
Um actually - Obviously I am the ideal candidate for this show, because my family is always telling me that "Actually" was my favourite word when I was four years old and also I'm an incredibly huge fucking dweeb.
*taskmaster Australia is hosted by the same man as The Hard Quiz. I reserve the right to cry.

ok laplaces angel with seabury let me cook let me cook okay the king is the little “it’s the norm for animals” voice since he’s the main root of most if not all of seabury’s political beliefs or something idk and maybe the main thing is him having this whole realization that perhaps his beliefs don’t exactly perfectly align with his morals and that he was never in the right to begin with??? (with the loyalism thing and him being a pacifist) because yk the whole “oooooh could you take a look at me am i bad am i bad am i bad am i really that bad” right guys right haha right????/)/) please ive been having these thoughts conjuring up in my head for several months but idk how to put it into words and still be coherent 😭😭😭 this is so cringe ok bye don’t even read this (or do……😳😳😳😳)
listen to it pleaaaaase 🥺

I am so normal when writing break-ups. The most normal person in the world. Mental stability 10/10.
TW for ??? I don't know what the hell I just wrote. I guess implied Eating Disorder and Suicidal thoughts, and whatever the fuck this is because I don't know--
This is Sanuso btw. I had too much fun writing fluff now it's time for the angst.
The plot is basically Sanji breaking up with Usopp for reasons I cannot explain yet because I'm gonna drop this fanfic like a bomb in a few days when it's done and then run away.

don't you love when you're like, okay now I'm going to leave this sorrow in the old year so I don't turn into a crotchety bitter person over it, and then you walk on feeling all refreshed and bright no longer carrying it on your shoulders, but then the sorrow wanders after you like a child who was lost in the supermarket weeping its eyes out and it says to you where did you GO I was lost! I was lost and I missed you!!! and you can only sigh and take it by its hand and say to it very well. here's your seat. I'm sorry I left you behind, I promise it was with the best of intentions, but I want to do my best by you, so let's sit together and try to figure out what you're saying to me.
