I Don't Even Know Anymore

This wildly varies from cats and things to deep posts and also I like The Cradle Series (Will Wight), Fate, Star Wars, Deus Ex, Eragon, My Hero Academia and a lot of other stuff. Am very much a fan of both Shirou & Izuku and will happily debate their merits with others. (Over 18, British, Christian) Backup Blog: https://hello-ereht.tumblr.com/

I beg of you all if you take nothing else from my blog please go and read the Cradle Series by Will Wight. I’m just finishing the latest book in the series and I am so hooked it’s not even funny.

The first book is called Unsouled, please go read it.

Thank you

[roosinii]

I encourage you to reblog this if you so wish, I would love more people to know about this series

[roosinii]

Also the bloopers that start partway through the series are absolutely hilarious

[roosinii]

The bloopers are now throughout the whole series, Will Wight has released some for the rest that didn’t have them.

[roosinii]

I have just finished Waybound! I’m very late I know, I got sidetracked. It’s amazing, a great end to a fantastic series. You should all go read it!

it's so hardcover –> we're so paperback

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hey, why the long face?"

[dark-magician-girl-meets-world]

The horse says, "I think I'm about to be homeless." The bartender, who now feels a little bad about the joke, says, "Oh, man, that sucks. What's going on?" The horse says, "It's the job market. It doesn't matter how good I am at SEO optimization. No one wants to hire a horse. The moment they look at my resumé and see the name 'Brushstroke', into the trash it goes." The bartender says, "Really? I had no idea." The horse says, "And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking why don't I just apply for horse jobs instead? Well, for the first few months I wouldn't. It was a matter of principle. I didn't become the first in my tailine to get a degree in computer science just to end up pulling a cart. But lately, I've given in. Because my saving's are running out, and my kids can tell that something's wrong. So now I'm doing interviews to let drunk tourists ride me, and the pay is peanuts, and you know what? I'm still not getting any offers! It's all going to younger horses!" The bartender says, "That must feel awful." The horse says, "You can't imagine! It's eating me up! People are trying to help, but they can't. They can only offer a couch for a few weeks or only a place for me, not for my family. It's like, every morning I have to come home to my husband and my two kids and tell them I'm not good enough to support them! I'm already having to juggle debt to handle his medical expenses, and then... then there's just the shame of it. I was sired for this! I was bred to do it! And I can't! I just can't pull it off!" The bartender says, "Wow. I don't know what to say." "I know," the horse says. "I just need to find a place that's stable."

Does Golem Keter Malkuth have the ability to “reject human order and rewrite its laws”?

From what I’ve seen of it’s eden creation function it seems to fall in line with what I’ve heard and seen beings like dead apostle ancestors, fairies and divine spirits are able to do with their unique magics.

It's basically a walking Reality Marble, so I think the answer is essentially 'yes' if Avicebron is able to complete it and set it off during a Grail War. Like every other Reality Marble though, it's going to face constant pushback from the World and the Counter Force would probably start throwing Servants at it if it got big enough.

I recently mentioned to someone that my favorite forward is kadirova and they responded “what about hilary knight?” and it’s just kinda like asking why someone’s favorite bible character isn’t jesus. like yeah we all love jesus from the bible obviously but i think some stories are better even if not as iconic

Golden Age sidekick backstory: Well I'll be chuffed, that Dickensian orphan boy I watched bravely stand up to his bullies on the street corner has stowed away in my Marmot-mobile, and now he's seen my secret identity! I suppose I'll keep him as an ambiguous pet of sorts. Here child, put on these tights. You are now MarmoLad.

Modern Age sidekick backstory: Remember your high school sweetheart from that one flashback adventure in 1973? Well she's dead so you don't have to worry about it, but guess what: the one time you did it, she ended up pregnant and didn't tell you. The baby was raised by a shadowy conspiracy of your most marketable villains, who kept them in a hyperloop bubblespace so they grew up super fast while also going through unspeakable torture and being raised to hate you. It's okay though after one appropriately dramatic fight you hug it out and the new Marmolad is instantly born.

#what happened to Marmolad II tho

@archhaven @dykeseyelmao

Marmolad II was the result of a very unfortunate early 2000s continuity reboot, where they decided his name was actually Marmalade and he was orange-preserve themed. They retconned him out of existence five years after he was introduced. The fandom doesn't like to talk about it.

[kitsnicket]

I don’t like this actually

This is depressing does anyone else find this depressing

[mikkeneko]

I would actually make the argument that the heart of the problem here is not either about fans, as the article claims, or production companies being exploitative cowards, as some of the comments are claiming. The heart of the problem is the increasingly eroding privacy we are seeing in the modern age.

There's some people in the comments saying "fandoms have always been like this" and others saying "No, it's worse than it was." And both are to some extent right. Fans (or at least a small percentage of fans, and the larger a fanbase gets the larger a group this will describe) have always been Like That; but they did not always have the level of access to creators and actors that they have now.

The notion that a performer needs to be constantly available to public scrutiny, that their personal information should by default be available to any rando with google, is pretty new. It used to be that actors would only be expected to engage with the public on limited, specific, and controlled occasions, usually with security provided. Now they're being asked to rawdog exposure to the mob 24/7 on their own.

(Also, production companies have always always always been exploitative cowards, just to get that straight; reading the biographies of literally any actress from golden Hollywood years makes that clear. It's just, again, more public now.)

There has also been a negative feedback loop as fandoms come to realize that the constant access they have to creatives increases their leverage and power. It did not use to be the case that this was so; fandoms pre-internet largely worked under the assumption that they didn't really have any meaningful way to contact or influence the publication houses. Even if they sent a letter or a campaign of letters, they wouldn't even know whether the letters were being received or read unless the publishing house chose to respond. So, without that expectation of access, the drama usually stayed internal. Nowadays, with constant immediate feedback from creators and publishers, fans are ever more incentivized to act out to try to push an agenda, get attention, or just vent whatever is going on in their lives onto a face contractually obliged to be friendly to them.

every year small towns and indigenous communities across canada are burnt to nothing by horrific wildfires and americans go on the internet to complain about it and blame us bc the smoke has spread to their state. i’m so tired.

go yell at mark carney or your own local politicians about climate change and urge them to do more to stop it. the namaygoosisagagun first nation had their community destroyed today. you can find a link to donate to them here. donate to your local food bank. go to the beach next week when the smoke clears and you don’t have to think about it anymore while the people who’s lives have been destroyed will have to pick up the pieces and try to move forward when we are already in a huge cost of living crisis across the country.

reading about the participation of children in rituals as a form of play in ancient greece and came across an incredibly charming story from julius pollux's onomasticon where a flood prevented the adults from reaching a sanctuary to sacrifice a ram to heracles, and the children solved the problem by....sticking a bunch of sticks in an apple to give it "legs" and "horns" and offering it as a sacrifice instead. it's such a charming thought and i can perfectly picture kids these days also pretending at sacrificing an apple "goat" at recess

[thoodleoo]

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.

What Tav Would They Hate Most BG3 (Romancables x Tav)

Astarion

Life or light domain cleric of Selune, Lathander, or Kelemvor.

No gods ever helped him, he’s been banished from the sun, the religious goody-two-shoes types always get in the way of him having fun.

A cleric Tav of a god of life and light is opposite to everything he is. An undead creature of the dark forever cursed to be the same thing forever courting a cleric that opposes the existence of the undead is unfathomable.

Bonus points for Tav being a gnome and Gur sympathizer. Astarion fucking hates gnomes and Gur.

Hearing Tav speak of how death should be final and praising life and light hurts more than a stake ever could. He’ll never know his heart beating again or the warmth of the sun. The things Tav’s beliefs surround.

As lovers he would constantly feel like he’s keeping his partner trapped from living their happiest life and wonders if their god hates him.

Gale

He respects wizards better than him, if a bit jealous. Sorcerers as well. Warlocks and clerics are admirable for what they sacrifice. But bards? I swear he has a hidden seething hatred for bards.

Bard Tav channeling magic just be fiddling a lute or reciting poetry, channeling magic through sheer passion. It’s absurd to him.

Little studying of spellcasting. Sacrificing practically nothing. Even spinning tall tales. Being able to magically damage opponents just by throwing insults. Everything he understands of magic says this should be impossible. Either you learn to wield magic, are born with innate talent, or are given power by a patron.

Bards just do a dance or jig and wounds are healed, their enemies are blind, and their allies are faster.

A bard lover would annoy him to no end when comparing magical abilities. Still, he could appreciate their vast knowledge and worldliness. The one thing Gale has in common with all bards is an appreciation of literature.

Lae’zel

Elf.

That’s it.

Jealous that she has to sleep longer and has to stay in the astral plane to avoid aging while elves are naturally practically immortal. They also can see in the dark better.

Elven cultures are either strict and disciplined, which Lae’zel respects, or carefree and frivolous which she despises.

Whatever their skill set, Lae’zel respects warriors equally to scholars. Everyone has their purpose to serve the greater society. Class doesn’t matter, race somewhat does. Githyanki are clearly the best.

Also slightly grouchy that elves are almost universally loved and considered beautiful while Gith are considered “an acquired taste” by most. Bae’zel just wants to know she’s also pretty. Why else do you think she spends so much time braiding and beading her hair?

Her biggest struggle with any lover is being jealous of what they’re capable of that she isn’t. It emphasizes her shortcomings and weaknesses that she’s not supposed to have.

Karlach

A nerdy prude.

Girl cannot wait for marriage.

Species and class don’t matter. She just wants hugs and kisses and [REDACTED].

Also hates to talk literature or philosophy. A bookworm that doesn’t want to run around and explore would feel like a ball and chain.

Yet, a more introverted, less excitable Tav helps her to not make irrational decisions and brings a stability and security she didn’t have before.

The only way it could get worse is if they had some relation to Gortash before and still like him. That giant fiery woman will literally beat them up until they learn to hate Gortash. Tav isn’t going to hear the end of all the atrocities that man committed until they hate him as much as Karlach does. 

Shadowheart

Githyanki selunite.

Need I even explain?

Hates Gith. Hates selunites (at least at the beginning).

A gith selunite Tav will make her question her entire existence.

Loving a cleric of her goddesses' archnemesis, and also a member of a culture she’s stolen from hardly makes sense.

Once Shadowheart learns that Tav doesn’t follow Vlakkith and isn’t part of main Githyanki society, she mostly overlooks Tav being a gith. Even though they’re a gith, they aren’t an enemy because of that.

However they’re still enemies because of being a selunite. Shadowheart isn’t sure what would be worse. If gith Tav followed Vlaakith and wanted to return the artefact to their people, or being a selunite that opposes everything she believes in.

In the end, as much as such a Tav would be the biggest headache Shadowheart has ever had, they will also be the most educational one. They would help her leave Shar, save her parents, and walk a path in light.

Wyll

Let’s be honest, this motherfucker is more racist than he admits.

Hates goblins just for being goblins. Probably barely tolerates drow. Looks at bugbears, hobgoblins, and ogres, and only sees monsters, not people. Yet somehow respects tieflings.

Unironically says “greenskins”.

Race wise, a half-orc or drow Tav is his worst nightmare.

Make that Tav a cleric of Tiamat and he’ll have an aneurysm.

How does he even get along with someone who worships a goddess that threatened his home and led him into becoming a warlock? To be lovers with such a person is inconceivable.

Being a cleric of Tiamat is absolutely the worst part. Horrible memories associated with the dragon goddesses cultists.

On the off chance he does end up courting such a person, he will do absolutely everything in his power to turn them away from Tiamat. Tav meanwhile will probably bash his skull in until he understands that goblinoids and orcs aren’t evil by nature, it’s just their patron gods that normally are.

Halsin

Cleric or paladin of Shar. Followers of Shar have taken so much from him, lifelong friends and a place he considered a second home.

Any race that’s short lived would also hurt him so much. They might live a century if they’re lucky, enough time to get to know them and grow attached. He would grow so close to them and they would fade too soon, he could never forget them or replace them. Tieflings, humans, dragonborn, halflings, half-orcs, and githyanki are the shortest lived. Generally not making it past 120.

Necromancers are also the polar opposites of druids, they unnaturally extend lives, but even then, it’s not really living. They don’t allow souls to heal and move on as is natural. Halsin may be able to tolerate a necromancer more than a Sharran though. He has a slight tolerance for the undead and necromancy when used responsibly or for “the greater good”.

If Tav is allergic to literally any animal some part of him is going to grieve and be disappointed. Especially if it’s a lethal allergy. He can’t enjoy all the furry, scaley, fluffy, and slimly little creatures of the world with them. (Sorry Halsin, no lion safaris. Just breathing the same air as a lion would kill me.)

Like Wyll, he would do everything he could to turn them from darkness.

So long as they don’t harm nature or anyone he cares about, he may be able to tolerate his partner being a Sharran. After all, darkness is part of nature in some way. 

Minthara

Misandrist. Aquaphobe. Drow supremacist. Wizard hater.

A wizard man that loves swimming might actually frighten her. Or she’d pop a blood vessel just trying to comprehend it and get a brain bleed.

Strongly believes darkvision makes someone superior. No darkvision? Get out. She won’t even consider you for breeding.

The same reason she hates wizards is also the same reason she looks down on short lived species. They don’t live long enough to enjoy and appreciate her company.

A human male wizard (Gale) is also just as easily an almost perfect partner. Through the power of magic her partner would be able to extend their lifespan and get darkvision. The one downside of them being human is that they’re children wouldn’t be pure blooded drow.

As long as her partner doesn’t oppose her conquests, they can be an amusing plaything at least. She’ll absolutely make her wizard use their magic in unconventional ways for her pleasure. Outside the bedroom, if they’re skilled enough, they may prove an indispensable part of her plans.

Thank you to these people for their requests and character suggestions. @wisdom-by-pain @redharllow @wesperfey @tavforatav
