I’ve been a stardew fan for years, but there’s one thing about fields of mistria that beats it: the sense of real community.
In stardew, pelican town often feels like a collection of strangers who all happen to live in proximity, save for the few groups/families/couples that end up feeling kind of clique-y. And even then, we don’t get to see much of their dynamics besides what we’re told offhand once in a while. When you’re working to restore the community center and improve the town, everyone else is sitting on their asses and hardly seems to care that you’re carrying it on your back.
Mistria is so different. Everyone stops to chat with each other in the street and you actually get to be privvy to their conversations. There are countless connections to explore and interactions to deepen the individual characters. They will consistently comment on how good of a job you’re doing with the town so you feel like a real, valued member, and everyone else pitches in for jobs big and small.
This cutesy little game grows on me by the day 😩😩
Evesdropping on the Friday night d&d campaign and finding out what the kids are up to this week was 100% why I actually showed up to the Sleeping Dragon on Friday's.
This is actually such a crucial part of healing from neglect and abuse and I have to add to this.
Because indeed, people who like you will not roll their eyes and sigh at the idea of accommodating your needs, they will value your voice and be upset with you about injustice done to you, not at you for "being difficult". They will be happy when you find a way to live a better life, and help you to get there. If you are struggling, someone who loves you wants to see you smile, not tell you to smile because "you have it so good".

i love the new starters: angry bird, dog, and lps frog
They're waiting for you 😘
vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off
I get that being frozen for 100 years is a tough thing to go through but honestly Aang should have used it for comedy more
Katara: wow so this is Omashu
Aang: back in my day it was called weed city
Sokka: I’m… pretty sure it wasn’t
Aang: that’s what the fire nation wants you to think
Bumi, the second they arrive: welcome to weed city
Sokka: what the fuck
can we get this post to 420,000 notes
Y'all ever think about how Gale has daddy issues?
Y'all ever think about how Gale is very close to his mother?
Y'all ever think about how Gale deeply admires and respects his mother?
Y'all ever think about how Gale and Tara only talk about his mother, and not his father?
Y'all ever think about how the way Gale's father is seemingly, purposefully, never specifically mentioned implies that he walked out on Gale and Morena when Gale was young?
Y'all ever think about how Elminster was a young Gale's replacement father figure? (Gale was 8)
Y'all ever think about how Elminster, hopefully unintentionally, primed Gale for Mystra's grooming/abuse?
Y'all ever think about how Elminster used to be Mystra's lover?
Y'all ever think about how Gale was also Mystra's lover?
Y'all ever think about the fact that Gale knows Elminster used to be Mystra's lover?
Y'all ever think about how it was Elminster who told Gale that their ex-lover, and their literal goddess, wanted him to kill himself?
Y'all ever think about how the way Elminster told Gale their ex wanted him to kill himself was the Faerun equivalent of a video call?
Y'all ever think about how Elminster couldn't even be assed to deliver the "request" to Gale in person? (He used a simuclarion? Idk how to spell it, basically a shadow clone)
Y'all ever think about how Gale has never had a stable, healthy, normal, loving, relationship with a father figure?
Y'all ever think about how deeply and intensely Gale feels his emotions and feelings?
Y'all ever think about how Gale says he thinks he'd make a horrible father?
Y'all ever think about why Gale thinks that he wouldn't be a good father?
Y'all ever speculate on how Gale's reluctance to see himself in a paternal role might have something to do with everything mentioned above?
Because I do.
Headcanon where Gale is the famous professor in the academy for being one of the few professors who actually had a great perilous adventure but none of the students (and some staff too) believe it really happened.
Like they file it away as one of those things where he probably just saw it at the sidelines not really like thick in battle since he has the orb to worry about.
Until finally one day Gale holds a special series of seminars/demonstrations for in the field spellcasting for fights or crisis. He invited all the party members he could in these seminars
Suddenly a former shar worhipper, gith, vampire, devil, is that the blade of frontiers(?), the legendary jaheira and the hero of baldurs gate just are there to help the demo/seminar.
A nighttime demo for Astarion, A lesson on how to cast light spells and be alert for rogues. Not to mention how to maintain concentration when you get shot by an arrow, Gale will say as Astarion shoots an arrow at him. ( at some point an arrow does sink in Gale's shoulder and the whole class freezes but Gale just tuts disapprovingly while Astarion just acts innocently like he doesnt have a longbow in his hand)
Karlach makes a demo on how to distinguish devils and how to kill them. She and Gale also show how to deal with a raging barbarian in a fight as a wizard, Hint human shields i mean tanks companions are important.
Wyll is charming the socks of the audience and shows self-defense tactics when an enemy too close. Oh yes he used to be a warlock but his patron was a devil so he had to cut ties with her
Shadowheart talks about healing spells and being aware of the your companions healths. She especially emphasizes the importance of being able to self heal in emergencies especially for wizards while giving pointed looks at Gale while Gale awkwardly(or guiltily?) shuffles and clears his throat
Laezel talks about the battlefield positions and best placement of wizards in the field to help the strongest soldiers and she also shows which of the body parts they should aim their spells. (I like imagining Laezel having her baby strapped on her while doing her demo or using her baby to show which body parts)
And after a while the students realize with how Gale seamlessly shows or helps in the demos that omg maybe professor Dekarios did help save the baldurs gate
She finally got her dragon! I love the idea that somewhere along the journey (or maybe after it) Lae'zel found a little dragon. Not the majestic red one she dreamed of at the start, but a small one - yet still hers C:
Digital offering to Lord Apollon !!
O' Phoebus Apollon, you shine your light on my life, at my highest high and my lowest low you remain constant and steady.
You lift me up with a gentle yet confident hand. You remind me that I am not my darkness, for I posses a bright flame that has persisted through every storm.
it is you I honor, O' Apollon in every moment of creativity, when the sparkle of innocent and joyous inspiration lights my eyes, it is you i think of.
It is you I found first and just as the Sun peeks through the clouds, you have made my life so much brighter.
I praise and honor you, I thank you for your presence, your blessings, your protection.
there’s something so beautiful about being theistic pagan and worshipping and speaking to ancient gods and goddesses. Bringing life back into ancient beliefs, traditions, and practices.
i drew how i view Lord Hypnos! i’m very pleased with it :]
To the Gods lost to time
We may have no way of knowing your name, but we do know you. We know you existed.
We may have no way of knowing what purpose you served in your pantheon, but we appreciate the work that you did, and the work you continue to do.
You may be older than what we think of as the first civilizations, you may be older than evolution, but thank you for being with our ancestors.
Thank you for holding their hands, teaching them how to hunt, which plants were edible, how to walk, how to develop.
It's because of you that humanity exists in the way we know today.
I'm sorry you've been lost to time.

Apollon is there.
When the sixty-something man picks up an instrument, because he never got to learn in his youth and discovered a new passion. He thinks he is too old to learn, but something tells him it is never too late.
Apollon is there.
When the lonely kid at the back of the class doodles on their desk to calm themselves. Their creative world is all they have, and that is okay.
Apollon is there.
When the parents are yelling and fighting, and all their child can do is adjust their headphones and turn the volume higher, hoping to drown it out. It'll be over soon, just focus on the music.
Apollon is there.
When a student pours over the chapter they've been studying for the past week or so, trying to dissect every piece of it. When it finally clicks, and it feels like the world lights up as everything they've read makes sense.
Apollon is there.
In the laughter of the children on a warm summer's day. Their fingers are sticky with the ice cold juice they drank earlier, their shoes are long forgotten for the grass is cool enough. Their lives are ahead of them, but they don't need to worry.
Apollon is there.
In the rage of a father, a mentor, an older brother—on behalf of someone younger that was not able to defend themselves when needed. Something can be done. Something will be done.
Apollon is there.
In the ink of the poet, scribbling down every word furiously. Their mind is full, they must get it all on paper. Their words will not stop. When they close their eyes, all they see is light.
Apollon is there.
In the steady beeping of the monitor, as a patient—old, young, somewhere in between—fights for their life. He is there as they make it, and He is there as they don't.
