They/them~Don

[tortoistor]

movie tropes that will never get old to me:

a thing happens + two people exchanging money in the back

fourth wall breaking

“give up all your weapons” and that one guy that spends the entire evening taking his weights worth out his pockets

*a terribly loud crash* meowing/ car sirens heard offscreen

alternatively: a terribly loud crash and one of the characters going “oops” in the most casual voice

“fuck you” “well if you insist”

[nerdgasrnz]

#alternatively alternatively: *terribly loud crash w/ sirens and cat screeching*#person: *off camera* ‘I’M OKAY’ (via @zenlida)

[count-di-luna]

character being all “you expect me to do X?” Gilligan Cut to character doing X

[susiephone]

the squad gets captured and interrogated separately, and they’re all telling equally terrible, completely contradictory lies

people completely missing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them

alternatively, people absolutely seeing the completely unsubtle, very visible dangerous thing in the room with them and just not giving a shit

bonus points if it’s a beleaguered minimum wage employee who just goes about their business like “yep same shit as always”

someone pretending they don’t know another character is eavesdropping, only to casually reveal at the end of the scene that they know (*leaving* “tell tom that he can come out now” *tom drops from the ceiling in spy gear, irritated*)

choosing to deal with the villain by just leaving them alone in a room with another character

the “hands go down” trope

example: “any questions?” *everyone’s hands go up* “…that AREN’T sarcastic?” *everyone’s hands go down*

[neonprotagonist]

how could all y'all forget “ACT NATURAL!”

[beradan]

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

These are all great but let’s not forget two characters giving extremely biased flashbacks to the same event that each paint the other as an incompetent loon

[stunt-muppet]

i would like to respectfully add: scenes where a character walks into a room, sees something scary, and turns around and walks out with no reaction or change of expression

[scaliefox]

Bonus points if he DOES react, but it’s to close the door and tell his buddy “it’s for you.”

[brieflyshypuppy]

Intentionally getting wrong easy-to-pronounce names (“It’s Sean, isn’t it?” “Dude. It’s John.”)

That one character who is like actively dying but insists they’ve had worse and wants to keep fighting

Knocking down a big group of opponents with a bowling ball sound effect

Convenient book titles (“Plot-Related Thing for Dummies”)

[yyyyddmmsupremacy-deactivated20]

Characters giving a flashback and voicing all the characters themselves

[juliamichelleleanor-deactivated]

ALL OF THESE

[dndaddyissues]

is there anything cooler, anything sexier than a character twirling a knife between their fingers while sitting on a window sill ? is there anything truly more sublime?

[ataleofcrowns]

I was asked about dressing etiquette on the Other Blog, but since the answer isn’t really explicit in nature, I figured I’d post the answer here as well!

Basically, regardless of gender…

In formal settings such as the Royal Palace it’s polite to have the legs and upper body mostly covered up. Lower arms, feet and ankles can stay bare.

Out and about in public, say walking on the street, the standard is to have at least the upper legs and torso covered up. Arms, neckline, and lower legs from the calves down can stay bare.

Among acquaintances or friends in a (semi-)private setting, going topless when it’s a hot day out would not be considered unusual. Some might choose to walk around the city that way, though they might catch a strange look or two. Settings like bathhouses allow full nudity without issue.

I've been scrolling through your references in Pinterest and I love how much thought you've put into this game! I was wondering, do you have any references for the places mentioned in this story? The streets of Marabad, The Palace, The Crown's Seat, Zeratun, the Fire Temple, the Armas Mountains? Or any pictures that channel the same energy that you were trying to put forward?

Sure, here are some references for Marabad and its Royal Palace (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). Hopefully this will give you a general impression of the architecture in most of Arsur. As for the Armas Mountains, I used the real Zagros Mountains as inspiration.

I just made a pinboard!

[evangelistah]

I discovered this wonderful well written game, who’s characters I love so here’s an oc moodboard for a tale of crowns !

and an introduction to santanna evangelista:

— she’s bold and she shows it in the way she flirts, easy and open with who she chooses to share her affection with. when it comes to her preferred dynamics, she’s typically the assertive one who leads her partner.

pronouns — she / her

magic style — outer magic

appearance — her hair is curly and ruby red, its styled past her shoulders, and her complexion is dark brown. she has a scar on her eyebrow as well. as for stature, she’s average.

traits — intuitive , charming , adventurous , calculating 

relationship status — closest to xelera atm

[littlemxloveliesbleeding]

Elind’s official outfits 😗💕💕 (Elind uses they/them btw)

[justaleafonatree]

I got bored an decided to do some art of my mc (who hasn’t been named yet) for @ataleofcrowns, ft *that* scene

I’ll probably post their current design/designs soonish

[littlemxloveliesbleeding]

I think I’ll just put this here since it’s my only other Art/story game can blog type thing

[littlemxloveliesbleeding]

Space YouTuber au art part two! Amaranth 🍬👒💕

[littlemxloveliesbleeding]

Space YouTuber Au art part one! Basil 💕💕🩰

[littlemxloveliesbleeding]

Space YouTube Au with my travelers! I plan on making art for all of them eventually but rn I’m just gonna lay out what their channels are mostly about

🍬Amaranth: Fashion mostly, haul videos, outfit planning, probably some diy stuff as well. I also think they’re a bit of a geek about some of the historical/technical elements of it so there are probably videos where they make outfits inspired by or accurate to a certain time and place, etc

🩰Basil: ASMR channel mostly. I just see him making lots of concern with good, soothing vibes. I think he’d do lots of collabs and have plenty of live streams bc he just loves people

🍯Marigold: Historical/literature channel. Definitely leans more gothic themed hut overall she just loves that sort of stuff. Analyzing poetry and stories, rating the accuracy of period dramas, addressing common misconceptions about time periods and places. She probably has like “what your (x) textbooks didn’t teach you” videos

⚔️Magnolia: Magnolia is probably like, sports, fitness, lifestyle type thing. I think she’s a lot more inclusive and body/lifestyle positive tho. She’ll also do specific videos based on requests, for example someone might ask for a video specifically on what their daily routine should look like if they wanted to be a body builder based on their current circumstances and self and she’ll make a video specifically about that. She also brings in guests a lot bc she’s not everyone so having other people with different experiences brings more to her channel she feels.

❄️Iris: DIY channel vibes, she builds stuff, does crafts, bakes and cooks, makes clothes, gardens, etc. She’s not a cottagecore channel but I get the feeling she’d appeal to the cottagecore fans. She either has a voice over that plays the entire video with her speaking inbetween bits or she just speaks every once and a while and leaves a description of what happens in the video in the caption

👾Hawthorne: He might have one of those channels where he just builds random machines for laughs. He uploads a video and it’s just like “I made machine that will trim my house plants” and the thumbnail is like a massacred houseplant bc he’s very upfront about how his little experiments end.

💎Alder: He would probably have a mix of stuff. He just posts random shit, It’s like- Let’s play, let’s play, I copy poses in fireman calendars, Smokey eye attempt, let’s play, reaction video, vlog, drunk vlog, let’s play, etc. I get the feeling he’d do tons of challenges for charities and stuff. His three most recent videos are like, “Fundraiser tiers: If we get to the highest one I’ll literally eat my hat”, “Eating my hat”, “I went to the ER, don’t eat hats kids”

[littlemxloveliesbleeding]

So @birdeedee and I were chatting and we stumbled across the subject of a kid somehow ending up on the ship along with the traveler, which resulted in the creation of an Au more or less, so here’s some highlights for that convo, and my next posts will probably consist of art I did for my interpretation of said kiddo

[lifesanenigma]

Give more 🔫🔫🔫🔫

[littlemxloveliesbleeding]

Fuck I guess we have to now 😗👌

[birdeedee]

I forgot to post this here but- I commissioned @lawrichai to draw my Traveler, Fig! She did such a lovely job and was an absolute doll to work with. Not to mention how beautifully she drew my baby! I mean, do you see the detail on the background? Amazing! 💞💞

[littlemxloveliesbleeding]

Del’phi doodles bc it’s what she deserves 💕💕
