As much as I like romantic Durgetash... the more platonic/small their relationship is, the more tragic Durge's life gets.

Take Prayer for Forgiveness. Durge praying to Bhaal because they fell in love with Bane's Chosen? Yes, makes sense. But feeling the need to beg for mercy because they wanted to be, gods forbid, friends with Gortash? Acquaintances, even?

By Sceleritas' words, tossing some coin to a beggar was 'the worst thing Durge ever did'. Whether it's true or not, it's what Sceleritas wants you to think as blasphemy. A coin.

Imagine Durge living in this environment, groomed to be as lonely and cruel as possible. They stay among the Bhaalists and try not to care. No names, no faces. Only prey.

So when they meet the Chosen of Bane? When they have to talk together, again and again, and Enver Gortash starts to seem nice?

It's bad.

we need more loser monika content. yes she is the most popular girl in school so everyone thinks she is like the coolest person ever but once she feels comfortable enough to act more "authentically" instead of her usual "mask" she is literally the most uncool person ever. nerdy rants about literature and music? check. goody-two-shoes attitude on everything? check. she is that one friend everyone teases for having the lifestyle of a grandma. natsuki in particular has a blast teasing her about it, since everyone is like "wow ur friends with monika? she must be so cool im jealous" (she is not)

Disagree. If you wanna randomly say stuff like this you could also explain your thought process here. What are you even talking about.

I assume rakii will never meet humans in setting but if they did, what would they think of us? What would they think of our culture? And vice-verse?

You'd be correct, humans are not involved in Arro n Tontor, as rakii are in an entirely different galaxy, though much closer in years to hitting their galactic neighbor. So that's one thing we'd share in common.

Humans to rakii starting on appearance wouldn't be that weird. The closest sophonts similar to our bi-ped stride would be a bio-mechanical race called the Olac Verstic, or bio-mechs. So if one were to describe humans to an other rakii, that'd be their baseline to, a pink hornless thin neck bio-mech with only one set of arms.

As for cultural points, it really depends on who you ask and where. As rakii have internal culture wars already. For instance, for grasslands, it is highly against clan law to date or breed with members not in contract with your group. Friendships are along thin ice. It stems from what was more a familial value that got skewed and became everyone else's problem.

It'd be like if you were from Kentucky and someone found out you were dating a person from California. You would be forced to break that off in fear of giving away your good, Kentucky culture or falling to "icky California traditions". As some clans like to carefully hold their internal workings close to them and "trusted" affiliates. Yeah, it's a little silly. A lot of forbidden romances come from here though!

Anyways! From a general perspective, rakii would view us as, well, fine. Behind the times and dragging our feet a bit on becoming spacefaring, but otherwise we're on our way. They may question our two entire world wars and weaponry (they only had one massive war and the use of any nuclear explosives or weaponry wasn't even a risk they deemed worth the effort). Another would be our AI usage. And in this regard, they would see it as shameful or wasteful. While they were gift-wrapped their first artificial intelligence, they more wished to use it to get closer to their gods and possibly decipher old writings from them, while on the side using it to improve workflow, being automatic digital upkeep and ship control.

Vice versa, rakii would probably not be immediately taken seriously. Sure, on first contact best to show respect but being visited by big eyed smiley space raptors you can't help but giggle a little. Especially since the way they talk sounds like cat chittering with raspy tones. A thing we'd probably find most annoying if not flat out disrespectful is their stance with other religions outside of the students. Only recently did the largest city on Rek called Iot (eye-awt), pass a law that allows practicing of other religions within its walls, but only at home. They would see any other beliefs as uncultured or not very advanced thinking. Only because they saw their gods and their gods literally had a hand in their upbringing. Long story for future. They wouldn't try to convert people thankfully, but expect a weird scoff from a stern student believer.

Dawg what is this???

(deuzxfelix under the cut)

One specific night, we were on our usual trip back to his house. It was the middle of November, just after six o’ clock, it was already dark outside and the breeze was chilling to the bone. Felix was wearing a thick coat and a scarf on top of his dance wear, and I only had my faux leather jacket besides my school uniform, clearly, I had underestimated how much the temperature would drop that day. But for a strange reason, the cold didn’t bother me at all that night.

The walk home was quiet, though, at that time we were so used to this daily routine that the long periods of silence didn’t bother us anymore. They were quite pleasant, even, as they worked as a small break from the chaos that were our middle-school lives. A moment of quiet were both of us could stop caring about the world outside us. For a full 30 minutes there was no gangs, no bullies, no one else between Felix and I.

It wasn’t until a few blocks from his house that Felix said something at last.

-why are you doing this? – he asked, shyly, his words were barely understandable as his mouth was mostly covered by the thick wool scarf.

-doing what? - I responded, taken aback by the strangeness of this question

- the walk home- he said- it’s been a while since the last time the bullies had shown around to bother me.

- oh really? – I said, pretending to be surprised, as I too had noticed that the harassment had already stopped a few weeks ago.

- you don’t need to keep doing this if you don’t want to – he uttered in a sad voice, as he turned his head in the opposite direction I was.

- but I want to- I replied without skipping a beat.

- but why? – Felix turns back and looks straight at me. His eyes are fixated on mine, and I can’t read what’s behind them. Fear? Expectation? Embarrassment? whatever it was, it made the question have more weight than before.

It was something I had never asked myself

Why?

Why did I spend so much time and effort on a guy who wasn’t even my friend to begin with?

Was it because he needed help to defend himself against his bullies? Maybe, at least that’s why I started doing it.

But if so, then why did I kept going?

Even after we were sure he wouldn’t get harassed again?

Why didn’t I just taught him how to give a good punch on the face? Or gave him a pocket knife like every other guy who had trouble defending themselves?

 Was it because I thought he couldn’t himself like the others?

Does he think I think he can’t defend himself like the others?

An awkwardly long time passed while I was processing the question, we kept walking, and he kept staring at me, without saying a word. The thought was becoming more and more complicated, and since I was nowhere near an answer I simply said:

-  I don’t know; sorry–

That was the last time we spoke to each other that year. By the next day he was already gone as his family had left for an extended holiday vacation trip that lasted until the firsts days of January. I didn’t reach for him after that.

I'll never be just like the others. I am currently reading "The spirit bares it's teeth" by Andrew Joseph White, and the main protagonist is autistic, just like me. I'm happy about this. So happy I can't explain it without stimming. Both in this, and White's other book, are autistic character, character I can relate to, who's thoughts and feelings I understand because I feel them, too. My friends do not get it. One laughs as I express my joy, finding it amusing. He's neurotypical, cis and hetero; he has representation everywhere. There's always character he can relate to, so the idea of one making one so happy is funny for him. It's not for me. It feels great to finally, finally be able to say "I understand them". It feels terrible to have a friend laugh at me for it, because he finds my reaction funny. Another friend is happy for me, he truly is; but he doesn't care. He's bi, and cis, so less representation, but enough that he doesn't really get this feeling of "I can finally relate". I wish I could explain this properly. Why it makes me so happy to see a character stim, or experience sensory issues, or have meltdowns. But I can't, and it feels like explaining a whole new language to my friends.

had anyone else thought about this? because ive been thinking about this ever since i saw an inspector for the first time. transcript and spelling corrections in alt text

some more junk ↓

i cant believe i thought cordyceps was spelled like that, im a silly goose with a passing interest in fungus leave me alone

anyway, like i said i dont know a damn thing but wouldnt it be interesting if the rot took over 5p's systems and made him fuck up the water for moon? like he was trying to find a way to die frfr but it got out of hand and by the time he realized how bad his experiments were fucking up moon he literally couldnt stop it if he tried. "i cannot help you, i cannot even help myself" GIRL imagine that he wanted to stop hurting her but couldnt because he was being taken over by a brain eating fungus of his own creation. as if this game needs any more tragedy.

giving up the rarefaction cell kinda crashes my whole party because thats implying that 5p was in fact wholly responsible for the horrid rains at the beginning of riv, so this is all just me being whimsical.

anyway, the rot takes over the inspectors, i dont think thats out there at all, i think thats basically canon. i think thats all i got but, idk. something to think about

[ddlcbrainrot]

i love how the trans natsuki headcanon started off by those really fucked up “haha she’s so flat so she must be a trap watch out” jokes and then the queer people in the fandom were like “bet” and turned it into one of the best trans headcanons i’ve seen in a while
