Baldur’s Gate III

Title: Only the Devil Link: Tumblr, Ao3 Summary: Finding Raphael’s diary could be feasibly passed off as an accident. Reading the poem was a choice.

Characters: Raphael, Haarlep. Raphlep. Rating: Explicit Warnings: Consensual non-con, Raphael-typical issues  Status: In progress

*

Title: Hell to Pay Link: Tumblr, Ao3 Summary: Assassinating an archdevil is a daunting task, even for the heroes of Baldur’s Gate. Some inside help from ‘the devil they know’ would be good, if not for the detail their last meeting ended with said devil dead in his own home. Or did it?

*

Title: Wire in the Blood Link: Tumblr, Ao3 Summary: Mephistopheles sneered. “You have nothing of worth to offer me. You are nothing.” “Your ichor must be unimpressive indeed,” Raphael bit, “for some mortal blood to make it so worthless.” It was a mistake, of course, and one that would cost him dearly. [It’s not often that Haarlep regrets indulging Raphael. This is one of those times.] Characters: Raphael, Haarlep, ‘Mephistopheles’. Raphael/Haarlep, Raphael/'Mephistopheles’ Rating: Explicit Warnings: Consensual non-con, daddy issues off the charts. Status: Complete

Moana

Title: Te Rerenga Wairua Link: Tumblr, Ao3 Summary: Found by the gods drifting at sea, Maui always assumed he had been thrown in it to drown.

forever grateful i was simply too lazy to let the makeup industrial complex get its hooks in me. I was just like im not doing all of that. in fact. im doing none of that

[cumaeansibyl]

yeah I have political reasons for it now but my original and still most powerful reason is "I am not getting out of this bed one single second before I have to"

[aromanticduck]

[politicalmamaduck]

Writing about a child rapist did not make Vladimir Nabokov a child rapist.

Writing about an authoritarian theocracy did not make Margaret Atwood an authoritarian theocrat.

Writing about adultery did not make Leo Tolstoy an adulterer.

Writing about a ghost did not make Toni Morrison a ghost.

Writing about a murderer did not make Fyodor Dostoevsky a murderer.

Writing about a teenage addict did not make Isabel Allende a teenage addict.

Writing about dragons and ice zombies did not make George R.R. Martin either of those things.

Writing about rich heiresses, socially awkward bachelors, and cougar widows did not make Jane Austen any of those things.

Writing about people who can control earthquakes did not make N.K. Jemisin able to control earthquakes.

Writing about your favorite characters and/or ships in situations that you choose does not make you a bad person.

It’s a shame that in this day and age these things need to be said.

[nyarnamaitar]

Or, in short: the narrator =/ the author.

[oblakom-deactivated20200302]

You know what else is a shame? This nowadays tendency of putting on the author the responsibility of teaching their readers morality.

Authors are allowed to write morally ambiguous characters.

Authors are allowed to write downright despicable characters - and guess what they are even allowed to make despicable characters charismatic and likeble and the protagonists of their stories if they wish - because absolute monsters exist only under the bed.

It is not up to the author to spoonfeed the readers about morality and Yes I know this character did a bad thing and I am going going to show it in the story and make other characters call them out of it and– Bullshit.

The authors should be able to write what they want without having thousands of people jumping and their throats claiming to know them, their ideas and their morality based on what they write.

It’s not up to the author to teach you about what is right and what is wrong.

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

[strangestcase]

Good news! This story exists, it’s called The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Don’t invite me anywhere last minute I enjoy doing nothing so I need to know ahead of time if my plan to do nothing needs to be changed

[bana05]

This is legit and people don’t realize it.

“hey what are you doing?” “nothing”  “oh great! so you are avaliab-” “no you don’t understand. I’m doing nothing.” 

[embyrr922]

I’m doing nothing. Actively. It’s important.

[heroofthreefaces]

This is essential nothing I’m doing.

I've recently become a little obsessed with Clock King, specifically Temple Fugate, and stumbled across your story, Clockwork. I loved it! Everyone is so delightfully in character! You really captured the humor of the show and what makes each character unique! Was definitely grinning from ear to ear the whole time with everyone's interactions and seeing exactly what Temple Fugate thinks about the other rogues!

Aaaaah, thank you! Honestly I still absolutely love the guy and tbh I should go back to finishing that fic, once I can find my notes on what the rest of the plot was going to be about (other than making him endure the Frustration of a much more jaded Hamilton Hill who literally can no longer be bothered being afraid of a thing anymore)

Friday is that day when you realize you wrote "sort by undead" instead of "sort by unread" in an email, notice a second before hitting send, and then hit send anyway because you literally cannot be arsed to fix it.

They'll figure it out.

*thinks up an idea for a silly quick piece* okay haha let's whip something up real quick

Hello ^^DO you accept commissions? I saw your Arno moriani art and I am a big fan of the Dracula 3 the path of the dragon game. I was wondering if I can order an art from you of Dracula himself? ^^

Hi!! It's one of my fave games ever and it's great to see other people love it! But I think there's been some confusion, I am no artist. I have reblogged some Arno art though, maybe that's what you saw? You should be able to track down the original artist from the posts!

[dead-dyke]

You wrote about murder?? Murder is illegal?? You wrote about this dude killing someone and you didn't even say 'murder is bad' at the start of the book, wht wtf, wtf is wrong with you? I can't believe you condone murder, I can't believe you're pro murber, oh my fucking God don'ttalk to me when ou literally kill people, freak. I'm calling the cops, what the fuck, I'm shaking and crying.

[pengychan]

if you ask me it should be perfectly acceptable to mistreat a relative with dementia if they hit you as a child. you earned the right to hit your father back if he develops dementia one day

no one asked you

there is not, and I cannot stress this enough, any acceptable reason to mistreat a person with dementia

not a single one

if you think otherwise you really need therapy because 'yay now it's my turn to be an abusive pos to someone I have power over' is not a sane response

are you really disgusted by abuse, or are you looking for an excuse to go on a power trip and find out what being the abuser is like?

being abused doesn't 'earn you the right' to anything. There's no secret reward. It just fucking sucks

don't tell me what to do

[pengychan]

Not the post I was looking for but this is still the wildest ask I ever got

[plaidos]

it’s actually not misogynistic to say astrology is bogus, and it is indeed way way more misogynistic to believe that things that can’t be proven rationally through science are More Female.

[fellshish]

a lot of writing is sort of watching the film in your head like oh sorry can’t write the chapter yet i have to repeat hallucinate the dialogue first

You can’t Abstain your way to a Better World.

The Burger still gets made, even if you go Vegan. If you don’t buy it, it just winds up in the trash. If you want to do something meaningful about waste, you need legislation: It must become a crime to waste food in those ways.

If you care about Animal Cruelty in Factory Farms, you need to get legislation passed. It must become a crime to mistreat animals in those ways, and when malfeasances occurs, the onus of responsibility for those crimes must fall upon wealthy shoulders. That, also, requires legislation. It requires regulations, and regulators.

The largest source of Microplastics is wear and tear on automobile tires. It doesn’t matter what brand of shampoo you buy. It doesn’t matter which company you support with your dollar. The issue of Public Transit is too large-scale to be handled at anything less than the municipal level.

It’s not enough to just not participate in society

If you want the world to Change, you must leverage the mechanisms of political power.

You need Government.
