Crimson Tentacles

Art and some ramblings into the void. D&D, horror, fantasy, video games. Final Fantasy XIV is eating my brain. I have too many OCs and I never talk about them. In this house we love unhinged women, feminized men and queer horrors beyond your comprehension.

Crimson's Pinned Post Extravaganza

Eldritch disaster. Early thirties. Any Pronouns. Located roughly in the middle of Europe. I'm dumb as shit and old as fuck and I do not care.

If you're here for the arts, here's the tag

I tend to reblog other people under #crimson reblogs, talk about dumb stuff on #crimson talks and andwer occasional questions under #crimson answers, so mute these according to your needs.

I try to TW the most obvious triggers, but my art has a tendency to be on a disturbing side, so follow at your own discretion.

And have fun!

GLaDOS voice: "Would you like to see some artwork I generated? I've heard from other test subjects that AI-generated artwork produces an uncanny valley response in human viewers because they can't perceive it as fully real. They've told me that it looks absolutely hideous to them, that they can't imagine anything more disgusting than AI art. But, well I've been practicing and wanted your honest opinion. Feel free to let me know how ugly you find this by ranking it on a scale from 'vomit-inducing' to 'eye-bleeding'." A robotic arm lowers from the ceiling holding a hand mirror up to Chell's face

Meet Pando, not a forest but a single tree. Every trunk of the Quaking Aspen is genetically identical & connected by a single 80,000 year old root system, making it one of the largest and oldest living entities on Earth!

they put my blood through every test under the sun and yet nowhere in the pages and pages of lab reports do they tell me what my blood type is

[json-derulo]

your neutrophils absolute? 2.71. anion gap? why, that's 11! hemoglobin A1C? a solid 5.4. and don't fret, champ—your VLDL (calculated) is a cool 12. real fascinating stuff. hm? what's that? you want to know what kind of blood you have? like, so you won't have to look your next ER nurse in the eye and tell her you have no clue what type you have right after giving her a date of birth that confirms you are over 30 years old? psh, don't be silly! we can't tell you that! it's a ✨secret✨

[json-derulo]

do you know your blood type??

yes, I'm certain of it

I think my family told me what it was but I'm not sure/no recent test to confirm

no, I have no clue

I don't have blood/results

Fun fact, where I'm from you blood type was on a birth certificate and they used to put it on IDs and school IDs, when they were still made of paper. Thats how I know mine (A Rh+! I got good grade in blood!).

But as you don't need to know your type unless youre donating or getting blood, it's not a standard part of any lab work. And if you are gonna get a blood transfusion, nurses will check it every time, no matter what you or your relative have told them - you can have your blood type tattooed on your forehead and it will still be tested, it's a standard safety procedure.

the thing about mental illness is there's the horrors and stuff but it's also really annoying and inconvenient to have. And people focus on the horrors for obvious reasons but it really is very annoying and very inconvenient

MOROS in THE UNSEEN UPDATE Hades II (2025) dev. Supergiant Games

The Blessing of Light is something that is intentionally left pretty vague by the story, probably as another way to let the player fill in the gaps with whatever they want, and while sometimes this manifests in the story treating the blessing like a bodysuit of kevlar, I think the much more interesting interpretation is to go full whump with it and establish that the only rule is that the warrior of light cannot die. Aside from the subplot in post-ARR/HW being more interesting with the real threat of death now upon them, it just adds so much sauce. We can magick away the possibility of their head getting chopped off with the superhuman reflexes Hydaelyn hath granted, and so it is very delicious to imagine someone who, rather than being unable to be meaningfully injured, is instead able to just keep going despite catastrophic bodily harm. The warrior of light just keeps fucking going, no matter how much they may wish they were dead. More blood than humanly possible spilling out onto the ground, face pale, hands shaking, still moving with eerie grace and agility, screaming with pain every time they bring another desperate strike down? Thats the good shit.

u simply must pick one pet to answer for and elaborate in reblogs if u wish. my cats both care way more than audrey when im back lol she wags her tail and might want to get kinda silly but sometimes doesn't even bother leaving her (open) crate to say hey

[crimsontentacles]

So like. I have reptiles (two geckos and a python). They dont really have a concept of companionship or giving a fuck about other creatures to the extent of missing their presence as a source of comfort.

But they know I exist, they perceive me moving around the apartment outside of their enclosures and talking to them, and that my voice often precedes the appearance of delicious food, or rain (misting with a spray bottle) or a new interesting thing in their habitat to explore.

So on rare occasions I leave my apartment for more than a few hours, when I come back I often find them all coming out to the front glass of their terrariums to stare at me. They dont need to see me to know im there, so why would they come out of their hides and in the open, making themselves visible and vulnerable? What am I in their little brains that are made to perceive Food, Threat or Mate and not much else? I will never know. But it's nice to think that they accepted this gigantic, incomprehensible being as a part of their little world, and after its gone for a while they come out to confirm that Yes, Everything Is Again As It Should Be, Safe And Good.

nearly every group combat MMO i've played has had an 'everybody stack together on the marked player' mechanic so it's really charming to me that despite this, in every group instance this mechanic appears, and no matter how clearly you try to delineate the marker with an icon of inwards pointing arrows and a pile of people or so on, when players get any sort of marker over their head, their first reflex is always I need to run away from the pack and die alone in a cave now for the safety of everyone
