Long post request: how do you feel about BG3?

I didn't realize a new patch came out on final fantasy for about a week because Baldur Gate o Baldur Gate

currently in act 3 and trying to stock up on shit since I recently cleared out the bank. I'm TRYING to hold myself to not starting a new character until I finish this one but I see so many monk items and i want themmmmm (I have a half elf monk open in character creator right now)

Since I played a lotttt of dragon age origins, parts of the structure of bg3 felt very familiar to me like the camp itself and like how u interact with the companions. Like coming home in a way.

I'm also playing 5e a lot so that part of the structure of it was very easy to adapt to. I do still have trouble with like certain interface things like oh man gotta select the version of the spells BEFORE TARGETTING NO GALE WHY ARE YOU RUNNING TO THEM GET BACK HERE WHY ARE YOU HITTING THEM WITH YOUR 8 STRENGTH BACKED STICK

But its great and I do like the changes made to better facilitate it being a VIDEO GAME. Like I'm a Divination Wizard. My main Thing is portent dice. (There's also detect thoughtsing my way through all social encounters which is SO GREAT honestly scratches an itch I've always wanted to do but it would be such a pain in the ass for tabletop. Like first first ever dnd character I cooked up was an illiterate mind reading sorcerer that like got by through just that. But that would be so annoying to do with like.... PEOPLE AT THE TABLE of like 'so im just constantly getting ur surface thoughts...... i can't entirely control this... i'm sorry....' )

ANYWAY portent dice!!!!! in bg3 they have it at level 6 you fulfill little prophecies to get ur dice back to make the big boss miss their BIG attack or make SURE you hit (or my favorite, make the rogue crit on a sneak attack) instead of having it that when u cast a divination spell u get a spell slot back. since theres so few divination spells especially like using IN COMBAT so I understand the change.

I also like the variety of shit you can do. like my partner is one to summon 9 creatures btw the whole party so theres a small army of creatures following their main party. (also several buffed with mage armor and everyone has a higher level aid cast on them so they also have a decent amount of health its really funni to watch) I like wrote off the summon guys moves because I just dont like to have extra guys usually.

Something I wish I did on my first playthrough tho was simply long resting more I think I fucked myself out of a lot of social link scenes in act 1 bc I straight up didn't rest enough. The game is like 'oh no time is ticking' but things aren't REALLY like that (cept for like... 2 instances I can think of) bc its a videogame and thats fine.

It WANTS you to use all your abilities and not be dum like me and just cantrip my way through most the first act 'just in case i need my slots later' why am i like this. both short and lone rest more and just use all your moves its FINE

speaking of social links and companions theyre all great. I love them all. I DO wish some things weren't like... romance locked it feels??? well more like you HAVE to reject them???? idk I had a scene with gale when he's like 'but we're not THAT close tho' and i felt bad bc like... I want to be wizard friends with you. I'm SORRY I'm so weak to both vampires and elves.

heard some shit about astarion having like so much content compared to all the other companions and man imma feel so spoiled on my playthroughs where i dont smooch the vampire. I do wish everyone else had more scenes too its a shame.

something about bg3 thats HILARIOUS to me personally is that its all like 'recruit allies against the cult' and in another irl campaign im in thats been in hiatus for years but I still hope to come back its REALLY similiar. Oh no a huge looming death cult threat to the city. oh no the city has its own fuckmess of bullshit to deal with. OH NO a shapeshifting killer. Anytime theres strong parallels to that campaign it sparks joy.

A few technical problems I've had tho were around switching characters in and out of the party. like in a building and I wanna run back to camp to tag in someone. Wait why are they on the roof????

Or I tag in someone and WHY ARE YOU CLIPPING THROUGH THE FLOOR? Tbh the game is so enjoyable I just sigh and say "Video. Game." out loud and load a save. Like the last time that was REALLY frustrating is when it just would NOT let me out of a restricted area like please I persuaded u 3 times let me go I was on my way OUT.

Also why do all these 8 strength men have abs. This is Wrong. I'm bad with figuring out the technical shit of modding but holy shit I need them to not have abs.

Anyway I had this and the character creator open for like 2 hours now so Imma start that now.

2024 Queen Nightshade Ref Sheet

Finally a new official ref of Nightshade. Haven't drawn this gal in awhile since the last time I drew her. Now I kinda drew this yesterday but is posting this now bcs I nEeDeD tO SlEeP.

If you wanna see her original design, you can see it in this link here. (Technically she had another old design but meh. Who CaRes.)

Btw if you didn't know about her: She was a woman originally named Lisa Mayori but she was a part of a experiment owned by her colleague which may have ended up in the old lab exploding. But then the experiment was successful however, since it has been 3-4 years she doesn't know much about human contact since last time so shes kinda still is learning but she is now taller & stronger. However she can still turn into her original form, but this human form is more like her true self while Nightshade is like a alternate personality of hers.

Under the "keep reading" part is her w/o cloak/cape (which is actually a part of her body but still-). (Plz don't murk this. THERES NOTHING SUS YOU GOOFUS, SHE IS LITERALLY A SLIME GIRL)

Now this is where her changes are fully seen. Yes I did infact change her markings bcs I kinda didn't like the old ones. (Also with the extra colors made things messy imo)

Yeh that's really it lol.

Character is mine.

Art: Mine.

Program: IbisPaint x.

Bubs' TOS: Plz don't repost/steal, trace, or recolor my art WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! If you do, I'll take yur femur and pelvis.. SO, DON'T THINK ABOUT IT! (The PNS on my blog's pinned post clearly means "Please No Steal" plz follow that rule.) If you do post my art on anything like yur blog or somewhere else (With my permission) PLEASE CREDIT ME!

[fruitwanderer]

Dont worry, im home sick rn and ive been sleeping a lot. Anyways. This song is soecically life series impdubs btw. It's October by The Crane Wives. I dunno where you listen to your music so I'm not going to give a link.

I'm a little too foggy to add my full analysis rn but c'mon. "But I will crawl like a sinner to be at your feet" from impulses pov? This whole thing is impulse pov to me. "So let my hope grow cold and atrophy/cuz theres no more room in your heart for me" oh my gosh! He is so bitter about how the clocks (aka bdubs' loyalty and really obedience) have been used against him even when he gives one in hopes to be saved. "You can have anything you want from me" he never does stop loving bdubs no matter how many times it messes him over, he doesnt really trust him, but he does love him, and and and ive been having thoughts for a whole week but i am sick and took medicine so full thoughts are behind a paywall

(Hi, I went on a walk and my feet hurt now </3)

Oooo? 👀👀👀

ngl we kinda prefer a more cutesy sorta Impdubs (we are delusional but we are free), but delving into the more unhealthy part of the dynamic can be really fun ;o;

Just Impulse being so, so deeply in love with Bdubs but he holds grudges and Bdubs keeps killing him some way or another.

Ngl this might actually make me write some Impdubs/general Bdubs hurt/comfort cus 😔

[minglana]

omg ive been meaning to ask you this, but favorite aragonese bands/singers/musical artists? esp ones that sing in aragonese!

fave ask ever omg thank you for sending this!!! i actually have a draft i made aaaageess ago with aragonese artists and singers in aragonese but, as many of the things that i do, it didnt get posted✊🏼😔(this got so long omg im so sorry i just love aragonese music😭)

if you dont wanna read this entire ask, theres this playlist on spotify with songs in aragonese. nonetheless, of course i will talk about my favorite artists:

*just a sidenote but all links here go to youtube except for ones i specified

the most important aragonese artist of the last century would HAVE to be jose antonio labordeta. i could write so much about him but ill try to refrain myself. apart from being a songwriter (part of the aragonese nueva canción), he was also a poet, writer, and politician (one if not the best policitian aragon has ever had). somos and canto a la libertad are the most well known of his songs. canto a la libertad gets sung every year for pilares in zaragoza, and when labordeta died, it was petitioned that it be turned into the national anthem of aragon (it didnt happen though). his best albums imo are cantar i callar and tiempo de espera

then theres also la ronda de boltaña (which if you follow me and see me post a lot youve probably seen me have breakdowns over them). they are very traditional, with typical ronda instruments and music. my favorite songs of theirs are la revolandera, el país perdido, la casa caída, aquí, mayo del agua, la tronada and pasodoble entre las ruinas. they also have songs such as bajo dos tricolores, which talks about civil war refugees who had to emigrate to france, in this case talking about la bolsa de bielsa, or retablo del prendimiento, which talks about the murders the fascists commited during the civil war (the song afaik was inspired in part by lorca's assasination). they also have fun songs such as días de albahaca, pedrón, pasacarreras de carnaval and tras la brecha digital (you dont understand, they literally open and close the song with the windows xp sounds). they also have some songs in aragonese, such as trango dople... ¡y china chana!, baxando t'a escuela, o viento rondador, nuei d'almetas, canta d'a luenga matria (with amaral. yes amaral the famous band (who are from aragon also btw!). she requested to sing in aragonese with them!!!). theyve also covered canto a la libertad, and l'immortèla (originally in occitan!!!).

also one of my absolute favorites, au d'astí!. theyre a newer band and they sing in the three languages spoken in aragon: aragonese, catalan and spanish. ive posted about them before, but my absolute favorite song of theirs is olvidar

ixo rai! is an iconic band from the 90s, their most iconic and well known song is 15 d'agosto (legend has it que no son fiestas del lugar en aragon if this song doesn't play). their best song imo is un país (ft labordeta) (this song is where my tag for aragon-polvo niebla viento y sol-comes from, too). other songs i really like are agua and donde quisimos vivir, no te quedes sin entrar and ...pasa pues?. they have two songs in aragonese: a fuesa unibersal and carta d'amor, which is originally in spanish but was translated and recorded this past year

la bullonera, who were neo-folk singers in the 70s. my favorite favorite favorite favorite (x1000) song is jota de la libertad (my blog title is from this song!). some other songs that i also love are me dicen que no quieres, jota carcelera, a estos yermos de aragón, jotas de ronda, jotas de ronda 2, and jotas de ronda 3.

idoipe writes songs/music, of the electrofolk variety, and some of them are in aragonese: o sol espunta and encara, for example. he's also done covers of famous songs like la tronada and espigas de oro (my favorite jota tbh)

mallacán has albums entirely in aragonese, more of the rock variety. mar de suenios being my favorite, and país zierzo.

honorary mentions go to els draps, who sing in catalan from the matarranya but i think are still worth mentioning, to krevi solenco, who published the album os chardins de shalimar (rap album entirely in aragonese, with catalan and basque artists on some songs) a few yrs ago, and to nuei, who have songs such as mil parolas.

theres also a collection of albums called o zaguer chilo, published by a.c. nogará, which are a recopilation of songs in aragonese and catalan. so far theres been 6 editions, and some of the artists ive mentioned have participated in writing songs for it.

i also have a spotify playlist with some aragonese songs (not just in aragonese, though) that i made for everyone to enjoy

[blueiight]

now as for why his other crimes against claudia and black and disabled women go unnoticed, i'm going to hazard a guess that you stepped into the ◻️ side of the fandom and especially the side where louis is purely an object for lestat's gratification and not a whole person. where any analysis of louis is only in relation to loustat (which is common for lewis because that's what anne wrote him as).

it's an interesting manifestation of white supremacy where black characters are only seen in relation to white characters.

*claudia's relationship with louis doesn't matter but you'll see endless conversations about whether lestat loved claudia

*all the black women prostitutes and louis as their pimp never get airtime (which btw might give insight as to how louis sees women generally and later on himself) but antoinette the most transparent character gets days of analysis

*louis' relationship with his family isn't discussed (and yet who he is and how he behaves in his own family is informed by this) but when it's time to put up lestat defence you will hear everything about his father, mother, brood of siblings and his cousins if they can be unearthed

u make a rly interesting point on how louis viewed women being part of why his days as hbic of storyville flow in the beats that they do… we’re introduced to the aftermath of bricktop fighting off the alderman who tried to rape her but the framing is more like ah just another busy day for mr du lac cleaning up after some bs again just before the vampire shit. drunk rapist racist man calls louis a racial slur? ahh hes not just that slur u see, ur speaking to louis de pointe du lac& he owns 8 of these 14 properties or however many r down the block. we literally only see the musicmen in the azalea, we no longer need to see him ‘cleaning up’ after nobody. aww aint that nice lou [LOL]. playing stan wars over evil vampire yaoi is stupid but ig its cuz i dont subscribe to the church of white supremacy ppl seem to think im an ‘apologist’ for certain fictional characters or try to group me into certain fan camps. #jobless . theres certainly merit in analyzing lestat x louis relationship n how louis fits into that + how lestat’s own past informs his present [u need ingredients to bake a cake, even if the cake is 150 years old] but u make points in how ppl can be a bit more lenient to lestat bc hes white, even moreso if theyre coming from vc fanon bc post interview lestat is the/a central character n vc fans love framing les as the hero lolz. but i do wonder if louis was kept white would fans still stretch and hyperanalyze cuz they cant see a bm exploiting bw or having a readily available farm of humans in dubai as ‘evil enough’ n would be more readily able to recognize where louis’s moral complexities n capacity for evil in canon lie as is? w/o tryna badger down black fans or fans who dont wanna play into harebrained theories when louis’s actual crimes r right there as ~~ dumb louis fans tryna cry apologetics ~~~ or w/e idk. i think show wise claudia and louis’s relationship is fascinating bc theyre both creole [i have a post n sandwiched in a bs response to an ask i mention how i think the mind link they had/have serves a metaphor to this as well] and vampire siblings/parent and child/etc etc.. emotional codependence predicated on the denial of claudia ever being allowed to be woman, bc louis wanted a child, wanted something to fill the emptiness of losing his family/wealth all in one, but she is selectively mature when it serves louis for her to be. shes coming up on 33, can the children kill the father, can claudia take this out my hands

[theglitchywriterboi]

Okay I'm gonna say it:

I think family channels [channels in this case includes [but isn't limited to]: YouTube, Tiktok, twitch, instagram, etc] where the kids are under age should be illegal. [Or at the very least a lot more laws about it]

Like it's so dangerous. If it's an occasional "Haha, look at this cute video of us/cute pic" [personally even that is :// to me, but I know in those cases its normally just sharing] that's one thing, but accounts dedicated to your children ??

Like how do you not realize posting all your kids interests, when they were born, y'alls location, if they're homeschooled/go to public school, the park y'all go to, their full name, when/where y'all go on vacations, etc etc IS SO FUCKING UNSAFE ???? Like internet 101.

& maybe you're reading this & you're like "I don't share my exact location 🙄/the family channel I follow has never said their location" but w/ the right skills [or knowing the right people] you can easily find where somewhere is ? Like there's this dude [& no hate to him he seems cool**] who's literally known for seeing a sign or grass & getting almost near exact to where that place is w/o more info [& I assume he spent ages learning all that stuff, but my point is, it's possible] ? Also, on a darker note, a guy literally found someone he was stalking through the **reflection** on her glasses.

Plus that's not even to mention how the kid will feel when they're grown up.

Now this post may be fake [I'm not saying it is or isn't**], but I feel it greatly illustrates the very probable reality of being raised in this environment:

In the comments OP says her parents only stopped when one of her siblings tried to commit suicide, as well as saying she would give up all her money to feel safe, because she's constantly paranoid & feels like she's being watched. OP also said: "I truly believe no changes will be made until a child is killed as a result of their parents over sharing online. It shouldn’t have to get to that point" which... I agree. I think people online can yell as much as possible, but until a kid is actually kidnapped &/or killed due to this, I don't think platform's, let alone governments, will care.

Here's the link to the reddit post btw:

I know being poor isn't fun [I am poor & grew up poor] but money isn't worth exploiting your child/kids, putting them in danger, & inflicting this sort of trauma on them.

Plus I've seen SO. MANY. Kid accounts that are like "[baby's name] @[mom] / @[dad]" & you click on one/both of the parents profiles &... The parents accounts are private... Like clearly you understand wanting privacy, but you can't extend that to a child who doesn't know what their foot is let alone the implications of having thousands->millions of followers ???

Sorry if this makes zero sense, it's 3AM, but I hate family accounts so much. It's easy to put up a front & I'm sure some of those kids genuinely love it & in 20 years time they're like "No it was great I loved that !!!! Theres nothing I want down tbh. & I'm psyched I basically got my own platform right away & didn't have to grind for it" But I feel like those kids will be in the minority, while MOST will be like the post above, or at the VERY least, they'll wish a lot wasn't filmed & posted for millions to see.... :/

ALSO TO BE CLEAR !!! THIS IS ABOUT FAMILY CHANNELS. Teens having their on socials is chill imo [but be safe ofc**] & occasionally sharing a family pic is fine. But centering an account around your family/kids is what my issues is***

This is a transcript of a semi fanfic semi rambling stream of conciousness I wrote on discord about an idea i had for an au. I did not write this intending for it to become a fanfic so it is formatted and written horribly lol. Hope you enjoy my mad scribbles and babbles.

Osgood had been knocked out cold by a sudden explosion, hitting her head hard against a wall.13 saw so she rushed over and checked her pulse. And to her complete bewilderment she hears a shockingly familiar "thump thump thump thump"

She freezes. How?! how was this possible?! There surely had to be another explanation, maybe osgood had a heart transplant or something embedded in her heart that made it sound like that! Surely she couldnt be- no, that's impossible, right?

She rushes osgood to an infirmary and has to leave to deal with whatever threat had attacked in the first place.

Later when that's done tho she goes back to the unit infirmary and finds kate sitting next to osgood on her hospital bed. Theres a "do not disturb" sign outside the door to the room and osgate are the only ones in there.

"Pretty odd for an infirmary room to have a do not disturb sign" 13 thinks but focuses on finding out how osgood is doing.

(Osgood is asleep btw)

13: So, how is she? She got hit pretty hard, knocked out cold

Kate looks a bit startled at the sound of 13s voice and seemingly scrambles to hide what looked like some xray prints

Kate: o-oh! Yes shes doing fine, got a nasty bruise on her head and some other bumps and scrapes but nothing too serious.

13: (slightly suspicious at this point) where's the med staff? You elected yourself as her personal caretaker or something? I dont mean this in a bad way but you seem like you have too much on ya plate to try learning medical care

Kate: oh no the med staff tended to her, I was just helping. I just had to, shes one of my best friends after all.

13: ah gotcha. Sorry, dont mean to pry but shouldnt her heart monitor be on?

Kate freezes for a brief moment and some color drains from her face.

Kate: uh-

Before kate can react 13 has turned on the monitor for her and to her surprise, she sees the dual heartbeats again.

The doctor stops and stares at the screen. Kate sits back as her own heart sinks into her stomach.

Osgood wakes up suddenly at the sound of the computer and stares up at the doctor in horror

13: why do you have 2 heartbeats?

Osgood is too stunned to speak, kate who's normally an impeccable speaker was also at a loss for words

13: kate... were you holding chest xrays when I came in?

Kate cant give an answer.

13: let me see them. Please.

Kate looks to osgood as if silently pleading for help. Osgood closes her eyes with a sigh and gives her a nod.

Kate slowly and hesitantly pulls out the xrays which 13 takes tentatively. Sure enough, the impossible was true.

Osgood had 2 hearts.

There was no mistaking it.

13: Osgood... why do you have 2 hearts?

The doctor couldnt describe her emotions in that moment even with a gun to her head. A sizable part of her was convinced this couldn't be real, this had to be a dream or something.

Osgood: ..... there's a lot you don't know about me....

13 remained silent, listening.

Osgood: I'm not actually a human. I'm... I'm a timelord...

13 didn't know what to say, there were thousands of questions and thoughts racing through her head. There was so much she wanted to say, so much to ask.

Osgood: to ease one of your worries first, no, I'm not a spy for rassilon. I have no affiliation with them whatsoever, I'm a rogue just like you.

Osgood gently grabbed 13's hand and made a telepathic link between them. She opened her mind to the doctor, allowing her to see Osgood was telling the truth.

13 looked off to the side, racking her brain as she struggled to decide which of her thousands of questions she should ask.

13: so everything I thought I knew about you was a lie?

Osgood: pretty much. I'm not affiliated with the master either, just to quell that suspicion right away.

13: who are you then?

Osgood: I'm me. I'm just another rogue time war refugee who simply wants to live. I have no motives, I have no giant history, i just want to live in peace...

13: does anyone else know? Besides kate?

Osgood: no. I've been living as a human for the past 15 years.

13: how did you get to earth? Do you have a tardis too?

Osgood: yes. A newer model too.

13 thought carefully for a moment.

13: why did you join unit?

Osgood: I wanted to help humanity. I love them just like you. Plus, dealing with alien technology is familiar and comforting to me, gives me something to do.

13 stood back.

13: ... I think I've interrogated you enough for now. But I'll be back with more questions. This is... a lot to process...

And with that the doctor walked towards the door, her emotions just as immense yet indecipherable.

Twitter ads have officially become worse than Tumblr ads btw. On tumblr these days I mostly just get samey scam mobile games, but on twitter???? The hinges are fucking GONE. Its partially the expected crypto nonsense but, importantly, theres also lots of niche, bizarre-o accounts just paying to promote every single one of their tweets. They often arent even linking to any external sites. Theyre just The Tweet

a sizeable list of suspects you say?

Well ofcourse id like to hear who you are sus of- just to see if you have guessed right so far or to see if i could drop another hint without getting caught... i dont think theres a chance i wont be on that list...

Im getting kinda scared with how smart yall are its not fair >:I

imma ask Nosoul to make a oc for the mystery anon saga, whether its yall in detective outfits or his interpetation of me! maybe both-

-Mystery anon

It has since been narrowed down to just one person, but given what you just said I am no longer sure if it is NoSoul, but I am still sus of them cos they always like a few of my posts before/after I receive an ask and Fénix has noted that NoSoul is the only one to have liked the anon’s asks too- so you could be saying that you will ask NoSoul to throw us off the trail 🤔 if it isn’t NoSoul then I am not sure of any suspects on my end. You seem to be coming from Galaxy’s social group & I don’t know much of the people from there ToT

Btw don’t be scared- I may seem smart but am actually just a savant who can’t do shit outside of cooking & languages DKKFSKLDXL now the others on the other hand- oh my O///O they are so fucking talented I just go :0 whenever I hear what they are up to <33

& 👀 if they do do something, I would love to see!! Feel free to drop like a Google drive link or something in the asks :0 or tag us in a post featuring it too, thst is good too!! KFKCKSKFKSL

Until next time beloved <33

i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooov junhong

[zukotheartist]

hi ! i realized i had some more tips for stylization that i forgot abt until now so i figured i'd send u an ask :

1. using references and exaggerating the shapes. this is kinda hard 2 explain w/o a visual but i'll try my best lol.

yknow how cartoon men will have very triangle shaped bodies w/ wide shoulders and small hips and the women have very hourglass bodies?? i mean kinda like that. it takes a lot of trial and error to perfect this sorta thing, but its really all about finding the shapes u like. and it doesnt always have 2 make perfect anatomical sense, as long as it Looks like it does lol. i like to exaggerate the elbows (making them more prominent and pointy? ig?) and the shoulders, as well as facial features like eye bags and the sides of the nose (i really dont know how 2 explain that w/o a visual, soz)

i also dont just mean w bodies w this technique(?). practicing using exaggerated shapes w things like animals or inanimate objects is great if u dont wanna just jump straight in2 bodies (cuz , at least 4 me, thats kinda scary lol)

i also have a pinterest board full of references if u wanna look at that. i dont think theres much inanimate objects tho .. i should probably work on that myself lol

2. if u want a more painterly-esc style/style w/o lineart (smth like these > )

mix hard and soft edges when rendering. if u look , the undereyes and the shadow under the lips as well as the sides of the nose all have hard edges, where as other places have more softer and blended out edges. a tip i learned from an art yter is "wherever u would put a line in a sketch or lineart, put a hard edge." an example of that would b the jawline or smth like that.

also ! i dont knkw what art program u use for digital art (if u do that idk) but i use procreate and i used the medium hard blend brush (in the airbrushing section) for those ^ up there but i changed the shape to the 'brick' shape which u can find in the 'source library' option when u click 'import' on the shape editor. and for the recent byler art, i use the 'gesinski ink' brush (that i edited 2 have min opacity set 2 max in 'brush properties') for sketching + lining + for most of the colouring (w/ the skin i added blush w the medium hard blend brush i mentioned b4, the freckles w the 'driven snow' brush on super low opacity and the 'derwent' brush for body hair) if thats smth u wanted 2 know?

i hope these were more helpful tho <3 have a good day/night :)

Hi🤗! Thank u so much for taking the time to answer me TWICE🥺!!! The hard edge - sketch line thing is actually so eye opening😳! When going for a more realistic style digitally (i use Krita btw! But thank u for the brush names bc im thinking of getting an ipad one day even just for Goodnotes😭) i always kinda winged when to blend and when to leave a harsh or harsher line, this helps a lot! And I'll definitely take a look at your pinterest board, tysm for sending me a link🥺! Once again, thank u SO much and i hope u have a great day/night🥰💕!

[jupiter-reimagined]

do- do you wanna tell me the OG story of Repunzel?

I never read it

YOUVE NEVER READ IT????? omg,, i legit got up to grab the book off my shelf to reread it again just so i dont get anything wrong ((even tho... ive read it 100s of times...))

---

so theres this poor couple who really wants to have children. one day the wife gets sick and basically says "i need that cabbage or i fucking die" and the husband, who obviously loves his wife, goes steal the cabbage. and then the wife wants more cabbage and he goes to steal more and more- you get the point.

however! plot twist! the garden he's been stealing from is owned by a witch! so she catches this poor guy who just wants to ease his wives weird pregnancy cravings, and makes a deal. he can take all the cabbage he wants, but in return gets the kid. she also promises to be a good mother and to treat her right, but the parents will not be allowed to see her ever again.

obv, the guy takes the deal, cuz man this witch is scary looking

so rapunzel is born, and is named after the cabbage the wife wanted (her name literally means salad leaf in latvian /srs). she spends years and years in the tower, and one day shes just singing, cuz the witch left and she's alone. some prince who happened to be wandering around in the middle of a forest hears her and is mesmerized from her voice, and goes back daily just to hear her sing.

a few days later, as he's listening to her sing, the witch comes home and does the classic "rapunzel rapunzel let down your hair" shtick, which gives the guy an idea.

next time he sees the witch leave, HE calls her to let down her hair. she does and ends up being like "oh who the hell are you???" but they end up bonding! nice! and the prince keeps visiting but only late at night so he's not caught.

that works! until it doesnt. rapunzel complains about how hard it is to pull up the witch, but so easy to pull up the prince. the witch is now fuckin ANGRY, cuts off all of rapunzels hair and throws HER outta the lil window. she's still alive and well btw, just depressed as shit and living in the middle of the forest now.

the witch then waits for the prince to come and call for rapunzel to let down her hair. but yknow! its the witch who lets it down instead! so this idiot climbs up, gets confronted and... jumps outta the window... and end up faceplanting in a bush full of thorns, going blind.

he wanders the forest, still blind, for like a year, and is sad hes w/o rapunzel. however, he ends up finding rapunzel cuz of her singing again. he stumbled his way trough the forest in her general direction and ended up meeting up! hooray!

they hug and cry, their tears end up.. mixing together and BOOM BOOM MAGIC the prince can see again! he leads her back to his kingdom and they lived happily ever after.

this has gotta be the shittiest book report youve ever seen but dear god am i obsessed w this book. plus you literally asked for this. i think i would've remembered like 90% of it even w/o rereading the story just now. ALSO! i found a link that leads to the english version of the story for free! [link here] its very short, just barely above 1.3k words

[gay-and-n3on]

heyy uh idk if this is a little tmi but anyway LIke 2 years ago i was tested for autism, it was supposed to be two parts and part one was like describing people in photos, what they were doing, what there expressions ment, ect then i was read to and had to recite sentences. but uh, the lady testing me couldn't get the second part of the test because someone lost the key to the room it was in, so i only ever did that first half? and i was supposed to have a full meeting w/ her and my dad to go over the results but we just, didn't? and all that was sent was an email that said that i was totally normal and theres nothing to worry about dont worry about it ur totes fine (btw i live in Australia if that matters)

Two years later and ive been hesitant to really say much about it for fear of being labeled as like “o em g i have autism and its so cutesy fun and i also have 20 other mental illnesses” but more than once ive had multiple friends be like “huh r u sure your not autistic? and googling symptoms it seems like i have more than a couple symptoms, im also afab, um could someone point me in the directions of some resources i could perhaps take a look at? im not really sure what to do, ive made an appointment with a doctor for next week, but im just not sure what to do with myself in the mean time? am i over reacting with the test thing? whenever i bring it up with my parents they sort of glaze over it and say that im fine, im not sure i have austisim as i really really dont want to self diagnose, and ive also had friends tell me that I might have ocd? I am constantly suffer from executive dysfunction to a point were im failing my classes, i also get sensory overload frequently and extreme audio sensitivity. I also have compulsions to say words, like saying things i see and repeating words (eg, saying worm every time i see a worm, or repeatedly saying the word worm aloud after seeing one) and also feeling the need to touch things to specific parts of my body, usually something smooth/ oddly textured to the center of my hand. i also have a poor social filter, i will say things that i ment kindly as compliments of neutral statements but will then make people upset and i normally wont understand why until the tell me (Eg, saying I love your eyebags, or you smell like a stick insect! or your nails are so pretty and long, they would be perfect for picking up baby snails  ((these unfortunately are things ive actually said to randoms at school and i will never live down)) and also,,,,,,,, god im rambling thanks for still reading, i also tic and stim, i frequently experience premoitory urges to touch parts of my skin, crack or move my neck and flinch. i frequently flap my hands. oh and i also have lots of urges to eat things that are not edible eg, paper, rubbers, wood, metal wires, dirt, rocks, plastic, ect ect. ALSO i regularly end up making rules for myself in my head, like “you cant eat the chocolate until you have finished this video” or “you cant go to the bathroom until you find and watch and like a yt short” and i also tend to think to do things in a specific order, like i will chop the vegetables then clean the pot im going to put them in, then ill get nervous and upset when someone cleans the pot for me before i chop all the vegetables. ok um this got off track fast, uh anyways if anyone can link some stuff i would like that please and thank you

Heyya it's me again, how r u btw? Just gonna make dis quick- I was wondering what would u think da boys' reaction to their s/o who is a shinobi. Much like Naruto i think. Can jump pretty high, run super fast, throw their kunai & shurikens even doing their (quick) hand movements to make doppelgangers of themself. Don't know about da power/energy blasting part cuz i don't watch naruto much but u can add dat as well if u don't mind

Tsm for ur hardwork, hope u have a nice day :))

I did a quick mind map about this and I'm pretty impressed,I've never really written this kind of stuff but it was pretty fun! I hope you have a nice day/night too! -Ruka
