1 and 10 for the ask meme for fandoms of your choice!

HI HELLO SORRY this has been sitting in my inbox for almost a month now. From this post from whatever ago.

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

I’m not sure I can think of a ship I don’t get at all. I mean, there’s some where I feel like people only ship it because it’s canon, or made up of two conventionally attractive white men, but at least that’s a reason to ship it.

That said, I am continuously fucking baffled by the decision to have Jaheira be a romance option in BG2, and the fact that she’s apparently the most popular and ‘canon’ one?? I mean, I fancy her, but this woman was a friend of your father’s who he asked to raise you, should he die while you were a child. It’s… a weird fucking vibe. And then I had her romance start less than 24 hours after finding her husband’s dead body?? Girl you should NOT be flirting with me within a week. I quickly took her out of the party until Viconia’s romance had fully got going because my god that was uncomfortable.

But yeah I just… her husband literally Just died. I can’t see how romancing her is anything other than being a rebound, even leaving aside everything else. Even if you want a messy relationship, you have options other than whatever the fuck is happening here. Why. Why is she so popular to romance? Why do people keep suggesting this as an answer whenever someone goes, “wow BG3 Jaheira’s such a milf (and her husband’s been dead over a century), I wish I could romance her”? Whyyyy?

10. Most disliked arc? Why?

Okay sticking with the og Baldured Gates here, I am not a fan of any of the Enhanced Edition companion questlines. It’s hard to decide whether I dislike Neera’s or Dorn’s more. (I wasn’t a fan of Rassad’s in BG1 either, but I never got the motivation to recruit him in BG2 so idk maybe it gets better. But I doubt it.)

Dorn is disappointing, because I kind of liked him in BG1. His personal quest was less of a slog than Neera or Rasaad’s, and he had dialogue to challenge my character. Dorn telling me I should embrace my Bhaalspawn heritage while I argued that I don’t want to be some sort of Awful Murderer while literally in the middle of murdering Rieltar Anchev was the funniest moment of the game. In BG2 he’s just… so fucking evil. I mean I know he was always evil, but a revenge quest against people who attack us first is easier to justify than, “hey do you want to come and murder a temple full of innocent people with me?” I regularly hang out with evil party members but Dorn was just so much more actively evil than anyone else. And all of this for the only mlm romance option?? I do like Hexxat and will do anything for a lesbian vampire but I still think it’s kind of gross that both the queer love interests have the Evil alignment.

I probably dislike Neera’s more though, taking both games into account. Neera I think is the worst victim of Enhanced Edition Dialogue, which doesn’t help her case, or make me ever enjoy spending time with her. Her BG1 quest felt as cliched and annoying as expected from Enhanced Edition, but it was fine I guess. BG2 though. While in theory I enjoy “ragtag band of misfits band together to make a home for themselves in a world that doesn’t accept them,” they are unfortunately also written with Enhanced Edition dialogue, so I hate them all. 

The real problem though is the lack of pacing--pretty much every mage at the hideout gives you a side quest to do in the city, but you’re also given a main quest to do in the city. And unless you travel from the refuge to the city for side quests, back to the refuge, to the city for the main quest, and back to the refuge again, and then back to the city again (which takes up five in game days), you don’t actually get to complete the side quests and a bunch of the mages kill themselves. Which is kind of a downer. I’d say the quest needs to give you more time to get to know the wild mages, but again, I hate them all, so maybe it’s better this way.Also I had to play through the fight in the Red Wizard Quarters twice, because the first time an enemy cast Sphere of Chaos and teleported Hexxat behind the bar and I could not get her out. I had no way of teleporting her myself, I tried killing her but she couldn’t even get over the counter as a cloud of mist, and I couldn’t leave the building with her there because I couldn’t gather my party. I was playing on story mode at that point because I already wasn’t enjoying myself with this quest, but having to do it twice did not make me like it any better.

Tagged by @i-bring-you-myrrh-der for a lil meme so let's go 💜

Last song: Be by Hozier has been stuck in my head all morning. It's on my Aziraphale playlist.

Currently watching: My friends and I started rewatching WWDITS from the beginning. We just got to the drug blood episode last night.

Current obsession: OFMD & Good Omens have permanent residency in my brain. Other than that, I started playing Palia which is super fun and how I've been spending a lot of time lately.

Tagging @sherlockig, @treesinspace, & @turtles-on-turts if y'all wanna play

bats, vampires, goth aesthetic, skeletons, goatees, competence, excellent vibes, stormy castles, crows

This is even more halloween-y than I expected oh my god

Harold Finch for the ask meme

Why I like them

An all round good boy, absolute nerd, easy to ship and fun to fuck up when writing.

Why I don’t

Stubborn bastard. Favorite episode (scene if movie)

That’s a Big Question. Super and Identity Crisis for season one. The Contingency and Bad Code for s2. Beta and A House Divided for s3. Asylum and YHWH for s4 (though Control-Alt-Delete is a good one). Sotto Voce and Reassortment solely for his interactions with Elias, Return 0 for the Drama, both his discussions with the Machine and “My name is Harold, and this is a thermonuclear weapon.” Favorite season/movie I think season 2 is a good one for him.

Favorite line “I wasn’t talking to you.” or “I’m afraid you’re mistaken.”

Favorite outfit Christ, all of his suits. That man is a sartorial legend.

OTP Rinch or Harias

Brotp Shaw, I think. I feel like their dynamic isn’t explored enough.

Head Canon Grace kicked his ass for faking his death.

Unpopular opinion I think his actions during s4 and s5, while Very Annoying, were understandable in character.

A wish I wish

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen I mean the show is over so that’s not really applicable? In general I’m very glad there was very little sexual assault in the show especially towards the main characters.

5 words to best describe them Small, cute, stubborn, geek, bastard.

My nickname for them

None.

this is what it's about baybeee also related point go watch the movie 'palm springs'

those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what's about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn't coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death -- hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. "it won't reset anymore," you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you're still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them

  A delivery guy just asked why I don’t have kids,...

Is… Is HE getting younger? Every day, a little younger… Until one day he reverts back to single cell… Forgotten…

Maybe he needs me to have a child to stop the ever present and endless passage of time.

2 and 10 for the artist ask meme? :3

I knew you’d ask! :^ D <3 thank u 

2. How long how you been drawing?BOI from literally forever. My family has artists since like 4 generations, and my parents bloody met in Fine Arts Academy so like. Since forever

10. How did I came up with this pen name?This pen name, mate. I’d say it’s a huge mistake but it actually attracts followers so. I came up with it, when I was still in Supernatural fandom and my trash and art blog was the same blog, so I came up with it as a side blog to carry-on-my-wayward-somethingIdon’trememberAnd as for CrocInCrocs (that’s how I’m called on insta, fb or DA) I was wondering something crocodile themed, and I don’t remember if my friend came up with it, or did I made it and they cheered for me to use the dumb name, but it happened.

Atm I’m considering changing this blogs name to Dont-let-me-artblog-you

[nightmigrations]

me, sitting in the chair at the therapist’s office: well I suppose it was when I was at university and got adopted by other goths

✗ and ▲ for the discworld ask meme? :D

(Thanks for asking <33)

✗ : which novel do you like the least?

Yo, Unseen Academicals can suck my ass

▲ : pick your favourite - dwarves or trolls? wizards or witches? vampires or werewolves?

It’s like asking a parent which of their children  they love most. Except for vampires. I don’t like discworld vampires. They’re like Tolkien’s elves only goth
