I love how we all imagined the “somewhere else”™ as a parallel universe Jon and Martin traveled to where they are living happily and free of all the horrors and now we CANONICALLY have a universe where all of the previous characters live happily and free of the horrors EXCEPT Jon and Martin because they are trapped in a fucking computer.

Part 2: What’s an accidental sniff between comrades?
[previous] post adds proper context, without I can see how this may look
Both men are in a public room, and fully dressed.
Context: To preform a proper triangle grapple, you must have their arm inside the cage of your legs. Soap didn’t when he attempted to preform a Triangle Choke , so Ghost tried to tuck his head away, but still got caught and this creates a mortifying moment for both. This happens all the time in wrestling.
[previous] previous post adds proper context, which without I can see how this may look. But you can clearly see that both men are fully dressed. Wrestling is a respectable sport, and yes, if you squint, the sport can look a bit suspect.
this has been in my head since this sound has been trending on clock app and i needed to bring it into existence

I want to preface this post by saying that I love the cat king as a character, especially one that has such a major impact on Edwin and his relationship with his queerness and learning to be okay with it; HOWEVER, I also believe that everyone that genuinely believes he should be a love interest for Edwin should read this. (Also if you just like the cat king as a character and want to understand his character better and why his and Edwin’s relationship is not something that would be healthy or “real” for either)
ohhh you think the barbie movie is just a giant commercial. you think it has little to no important commentary and should be written off along with *checks notes* every other project to ever come out made by women that centers women that isn’t an absolutely perfect depiction of intersectional anti capitalist feminism. should we throw a party. should we invite ben shapiro
Currently trying to figure out exactly how far I can make it into act one in a dark urge play through without succumbing to the urge. So far ive figured out how to postpone the first kill until ive already finished the goblin camp, but if I can maximize my potions of healing and optimize short rests, I think I can actually get through to the shadow cursed lands without killing alfira or quil.here’s where ive gotten so far:
The moment you get access to the grove, you are on a timer. You have to recruit both wyll and karlach before your next long rest. This ensures that the next long rest (where alfira or quil comes to your camp) is overridden by the karlach/wyll confrontation. I also take this day to ensure that every quest or thing that I can do in the grove at the moment is resolved, so I limit the amount of time I spend here after the first kill. This ends the first “day” in game.
Day two: level up as much as possible. This long rest is also safe for alfira/quil, as this rest is taken over by wyll’s pact cutscene. I took this time to get withers, explore the swamp, recruit the owlbear cub (ive had problems with getting the cub to leave the cave, so i have to long rest to check that he’s left.) finish up any other quests that you feel like doing here, the day is yours!
Day three: goblin camp. You gotta do the goblin camp NOW, as you have no remaining cutscene overrides. Either saving halsin and triggering the tiefling party lets alfira/quil live to chill another day, or alfira dies when you massacre the grove, in which case, why have you bothered with the No Murder Challenge? once you’ve gotten through the goblin camp, you can kind of do whatever. I do some other minor quests, build up character approval, that kinda stuff. I also find the underdark entrance for later and get a head start on that crèche quest. At least locate the fast travel locations nearby. :)
Now, in THEORY, if you do the creche on day four and make it all the way to elminster and the mountain pass, his whole thing with telling gale to kill himself could override alfira’s death again. I’m workshopping the Old Guy Override as we speak.
I made it through the goblin camp with this method, but the second i invited elminster back to camp after completing the crèche AND blood of lathander, my game was like “uh… what the fuck is this? no thank you” and crashed. So i guess larian was NOT prepared for someone to just refuse to give alfira/quil the chance to come to camp in the first place (nonviolently of course). I almost wonder if either one will show up at camp if i make it to the shadow cursed lands and long rest because the girlies are Not Supposed To Be In There.
For all the reasons that Chan-il and Cirrus would end up fighting for, I didn’t think it’d be jealousy. But then, I recalled that Chan-il isn’t aware of just how close Cirrus and Ri-in are. *bites fingers*
Besides all that, I’m really worried for Cirrus. Why was he crying? Does it have something to do with his father from the last chapter. Ugh. I hope he’s okay.
Someone said Cirrus could be crying because of Candy and since Ri-in’s family has been taking care of her, he thought to tell her first. Oh, man. It’s so over.
On the note of Tristan, can we talk about how the scene with Dean at the Chilton dance?? Just ugghhh they're both so possessive of Rory and both totally ignore her when she's literally begging them to stop. I hate it so much like how do they not see that this is not the way to win Rory's affection ???
ABSOLUTELY. YOURE SO RIGHT!!
The petty fighting for superiority + the comments thrown around were so 🥴 Like the whole sad puppy eyes thing Tristan had going on while Rory was with Dean content as if he wasn’t constantly bugging her since they day they met- Dude, maybe rethink what you’re doing instead of drowning in self-pity and jealousy which by the way makes me question how much he truly wanted her? You’re exactly right in how he constantly went abt the wrong way in showing his “affection” or whatever the heck that was supposed to be but he also never genuinely seemed into getting to know her, he only seemed interested by her bc of the whole ‘Mary’ energy which by the way is on a whole other level is disgusting like ugh. And then Dean’s whole ‘I’m gonna kill you’ comment???? WHAT WAS THAT- there’s still Tristan trying to provoke him and literally no one’s listening to Rory. It was supposed to be a nice night out then that just happens.
