The fact they keep referencing Eddie’s lying on the show and in interviews has me giggling and kicking my legs and twirling my hair.

It’s almost like we’re meant to read into the fact Eddie’s not always being truthful - with himself and others. Almost like, I don’t know, him going to confessional and telling a priest that he lied to everyone in his life and then later him telling that same priest that he’s straight might possibly be showing us Eddie not being truthful with himself or others!!

Before I sleep.. Everythingdice was kind enough to commission me to design one of their dice vaults. It's gold foiled and very pretty. The vaults are random/assigned to dice sets that match them the best. But! You can request a certain illustration with your set and we do our best to honor that. I was told on etsy you can request it in the notes section of their order and through the website they can just email support separately with the order # and request. Unsure if any DND people on here are passionate about my work but wanted to let y'all know 💗

The thing I like about Project: Eden's Garden is that all of the characters actually FEEL like the people they're suppose to be. They ARE the Ultimates: the best of the best, full of potential, the literal enbodimets of the future. I think the best example of this is Wolfgang. He's the perfect lawyer: elegant, inteligent, polite and with a strong sense of justice. He's absolutley the one of those extremely talented people that elite institutions like Eden's Garden Academy would look for.

I like this a lot because it adds layer of prestige to the whole Ultimate theme that was absent in the og games. It also opens up so many possibilities and I can't wait to see what the team will cook with it

sometimes there are situations where it is equally strange to blame a character for something OR to act like they were just a helpless victim. my kingdom for a nuanced take.

[putting this ask + answer under a readmore for potentially triggering content: tw for fatphobia and fat shaming in the ask itself, although the hedgehogs’ responses are against it! Just stay safe peeps]

Why you—

Dude. Chill. I got this.

Hey there, anon! First of all; fuck that! Not sure what you get outta telling random hedgehogs on the internet to lose weight, but it's wayyy uncool. You're lucky I don't care what you think.

Yeah, I'm a little fat. I've been fat before. It doesn't change how fast I am, how attractive I am, or my overall awesomeness.

Honestly, when I was skinny, it was mostly 'cause I was a homeless teenager who just went through a growth spurt? I had zero stability in my life. Never stopped moving, didn't really know how to take care of myself…

Now, I have an actual place to rest and an adoring husband who cooks like a beast and it feels so much better.

Anyways, the answer is: no thanks! I like myself the way I am. Buh-bye!

...... Anon.

Count. Your. Days.

the reason why i'm so endlessly obsessed with the dynamic between the magi warden and jowan is because of how. insane the PRIVILEGE you get from irving is. like they're both around the same-ish age (with jowan likely being just a couple years older), they both came to the circle at similar ages (jowan being there longest), they're both arguably very similar in their skill level (the part where the warden and jowan both have to open the door through magic i think can be used as proof of this!) and more than that, they're both so inseparable as a pair that jowan says he sees them as a younger sibling.

but even despite this jowan was literally constantly thrown under the bus by irving literally every chance he got. we know jowan's blood magic was almost definitely a symptom of irving enticing young apprentices towards the forbidden arts in order to weed out the "weak" willed mages, but the thing is, we also know that the only reason jowan turned to blood magic at all was because he was being denied his harrowing, and at a certain age if you haven't had your harrowing then you're essentially guaranteed to be made tranquil. so the insane dogging on jowan from irving was done even *before* he was put on irving's radar for practicing blood magic.

meanwhile the magi warden is irving's favorite student. his pride and joy. he constantly sticks his neck out for them (literally having to be told off by greagoir for essentially cheating during the warden's harrowing by telling them exactly what they will have to face in order to succeed), practically showers them in praise when introducing them to duncan, defends them after helping jowan escape EVEN IF if they were doing it directly under his nose, and all but verbally thanks duncan for rescuing them from the circle. it's very clear that irving sees the warden as almost his own child. but its also like. why did he choose them as an apprentice? you can play the warden as belligerently hostile towards the circle as possible and he still adores you.

meanwhile jowan was doing everything in his power to be as compliant as he could even despite his obvious resentment towards the system, but he was always just so replaceable. the kid literally never stood a chance and i'm almost certain at least part of it is because irving already chose his model student to groom and mentor into his successor, and it happened to be the magi warden.

the fact that one of the two magi wardens is a human noble from the free marches as well also adds a delicious layer to me too because then its like. now the problem seems way more systemic. your star pupil just Happens to be a young mage from a prestigious human family. and then its like. fuck why was amell even In kinloch hold to begin with? why werent they sent to the gallows? they're canonically the eldest of their siblings, so it couldnt have been to avoid having two relatives in the same circle at once. you know what i think though. i think they were only sent there because their family was influential enough to avoid having them locked away in what is essentially the most notoriously evil circle in all of thedas.

just very delicious to me how depending on your origin theres almost very clearly a class element at play. jowan was just a random village kid compared to amell. insane.

honestly i think both reigen and serizawa would be apprehensive about parenthood but for completely different reasons. for reigen i think its twofold; hes already watched mob and tome and the other kids grow up and go off into the world and the idea of watching a kid hes raised since they were literally a baby grow up and one day leave him is kind of existentially terrifying to him. turbo empty nester. on the other hand i think he's also terrified of being a bad father, or even just not being able to meet his kid's needs and failing them when they rely on him. for serizawa its a bit of a similar issue but specifically i think he worries about his kid being psychic, and if they are, how does he prevent them from going through what he did? and if he cant prevent their suffering, what does he do then? and neither of them ever discuss this with one another. amen.

Imagine Stan, seeing this 13 year old girl who was kicked out of her home for something she didn't mean to do, who was left to fend for herself when she's barely even a teenager and had to grow up too quickly to compensate for all the support she lost, and starting to re-evaluate if parents throwing their kids out when they mess up is actually okay or not
