I can't quite explain it, but Clue (1985), The Princess Bride (1987), Galaxy Quest (1999), and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) are all the same genre
They aren't a spoof (roast) or a love letter (tribute), but a best man's speech; an expression of love with a gentle ribbing on ocassion.
the healers' lament, everyone
This whole scene felt like I had been hit by a truck... Who heals the Healer when she needs it?
Doty, take this downā¦ itās Vox Machina!
New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream
The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.
My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.
This is from 1966 and you can see over a hundred photos on the NYPL digital collections website. It is absolutely gorgeous. These are just a few of my favourites.

baldurs gate tumblr i humbly lay a headcanon at your feet:
kleptomaniac astarion. astarion with a compulsive need to steal the most random shit or else he'll lose his mind. astarion who needs to steal to feel in control
consider:
it starts as a survival tactic. at first , he only snags a bit of coin from a victim here and there before luring them back to cazador, just enough to buy himself a raw steak or a bottle of wine. then, it moves onto taking trophies from his victims; rings, pens, cufflinks, what have you.
by the time he's infected with the parasite, he's made a regular habit of stealing things he'd never need in a million years from shops and unsuspecting tavern patrons, just for the thrill of it, just to be able to gaze at his collection of stolen junk and know that, for once, he was one step ahead, he was the one playing the cruel trick
i do enjoy thisā¦ā¦ā¦.

Iām watching that documentary āBefore Stonewallā about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.
The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one āknown homosexualā. The āknown homosexualā is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.
So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that thereās nothing wrong with him mentally and heās never been arrested. When asked whether heād take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows heās gay, he says that they didnāt up until tonight, but he guesses theyāre going to find out, and heāll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ā¦why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says āI think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.ā
1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.
Despite the pseudonym, Daleās boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.
Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudsonās disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.
It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought Iād make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.
RATING: RELIABLE
you can listen to the clip of the 1954 interview hereĀ and find him on wikipedia here

tag meme - 10 people you'd like to get to know better!
Ahhhhh, thank you so much for the tag, @preciouslittlebhaalbae !! š«¶ Indelible Imprints was a big point of inspo for me in the bg3 fandom!!! :)
I'm typically only a fandom lurker on here, so please excuse the fact that it's taken me forever and ever to respond lol!!
Super curious what you thought about The Island of Dr. Moreau - I read it for school a long while back and remember not quite knowing what to make of it. I imagine it'd be super different reading it again as an adult, guided with a class, too!
Last Song: Currently loving a cover of I Will Survive done by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - found it on a Dungeon Crawler Carl playlist and the vibes are immaculate. Already added it to my newest 'tav x Karlach' playlist, too, haha!
Favorite color: sage green!
Currently watching: Watching Widow's Bay lately, a funky "cursed place" horror. Plus, the new season of The Legend of Vox Machina just started, so I'm right there!
Currently reading: I'm halfway through the 6th Dungeon Crawler Carl audiobook rn - highly recommend the whole series!! For a total vibe switch, I've just started Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye - trying to intentionally pick up more 'banned books' lately. So far, it's definitely something I'd kind of like to have a reading guide with, tbh
Current obsession: Dungeon Crawler Carl (in case you couldn't already tell lol) and Project Hail Mary (both book and movie!!) Also loving my brand new (and first) Durge bg3 run hehe š
Currently working on: My work life has gotten CRAZY busy for the summer, so it's definitely taken a back seat, but I've been trying to put myself out there as a beta reader lately! When I had time, it was a really fun way to collab with writers and to participate in the fandom space! Also working on re-writing my old (I mean, seriously, OLD) HP one-shots, just as a writing exercise. We'll see if they ever see the light of day again lol
Last search: "costco party food" haha - hosting a party next weekend and am struggling with ideas, as per usual lol
tagging (zero pressure at all. ofc): @drallovirale @lilhumanoid @lacroixgender @verdant-words
Happy pride month to the tiny cowboy and tiny Trojan man from Night at the Museum
This hands down the best comment in the notes, I will not be taking criticism.

Friend in an alleyway | my wife sent me this photo the other day and said "you HAVE to draw this." and I agreed completely <:
I wanna thank Matt Dinniman for writing Carl as such a good, good man. Yes I had to double it, that's how good he is. It is such a breath of fresh air.
Carl is so... He's just some guy. He's the messiah. He's a war criminal. He's hope personified. He has killed babies. He's a cultist. He's a cishet ally but everyone thinks he's bisexual. He has daddy issues. He has PTSD. He's straight but he has a boyfriend. He really loves his friends. He has a mental illness. He loves his cat more than anyone and anything else in the world. He's an anarchist. He is slowly going insane. He's a fan favourite crawler. He's a mass murderer. The AI is in love with him. He makes inspirational speeches. He monologues. He's anti-establishment. He's traumatised. He pulls a lot of bitches but doesn't pay attention to them. He sees his friends as his family. He's street smart. He has gotten hit by a train.
