I know nothing about Garrett Nosurname except that he is an offputting(?) manlet playable in several games about stealing things. Please explain him to me so I can read your response when I wake up like the morning newspaper.

HI THANK YOU FOR ASKING

I'm not sorry about how much I've typed

Garrett nosurname is the protagonist and player character of the Thief franchise, which is a series of imsim stealth first person looters. Classic Thief is three games (the dark project, the metal age, and deadly shadows) and there is a reboot generally referred to as Thief 2014. Garrett nosurname from the classic games is a very different character from Garrett from the reboot, so the tiny fandom tends to treat them as such, calling Classic Garrett Sr and Reboot Garrett Jr

Sr is a sarcastic, grouchy, noir-ish antihero who steals shit because he has to pay his godamn rent. He was an orphan raised to be a member of a secret faction of record keepers and prophecy readers, but he ditched them for a life of crime because he couldnt stand their impartialism and restrictions. He keeps getting roped into saving the world against his will. Jaded guy who is continually dissapointed by the world. Causes problems by not thinking things through and just taking the job with the biggest payout. He's confident, world weary, standoffish, and done with everyones shit. He seems like he's been forced into being only out for himself, but he can't be because he cares too much, and he's bitter about it. Doesn't have many friends because he can't keep his smart little tongue in his head and tells everybody exactly what he thinks of them and it's hilarious. I feel like this discription doesnt do justice to what a nuanced and interesting character he is, or what a delight he is to play as. Voiced by Stephen Russell, if that helps you picture him better

You can tell if its art of Garrett Sr if he's wearing a big cloak, you can see some of the skin on his arms, or his right eye is green and mechanical

Garrett Jr is a skittish emo man who doesnt seem to be able to get along with anyone out of pure social awkwardness. We have less info on his backstory, but since the old factions no longer exist in his time, we assume he was just on his own. He's quiet, cagey, and only ever seems to make jokes to himself. Seems younger than Sr and has a lost sort of vibe to him. Takes himself a bit too seriously so it's amusing to poke fun at him. The reboot is generally reguarded as a worse game than the classic series, so that's also probably why he gets some shit. But he's canonically 5'5 and he paints his nails black so I like him. He's like a distrustful feral cat that won't come out from under your house until you leave a silver spoon or something for him to grab

You can tell if its art of Garrett Jr if he's wearing a stupid corset, too much eyeliner, a face mask, or his right eye is blue and glowy (because he's sans undertale)

Both of them are designed to make you play stealthy i.e: they're tiny and pushovers in a fight. Sr has a sword but he's not good with it. They're cowards. Both of them are strong believers in the philosophy of 'if it sucks, hit da bricks'. In the climactic cutscene of the third game Garrett just leaves mid-villain speech because he has had Enough (to be fair, these are worlds of gods, monsters, and magic, and Garrett is just some regular guy hiding in a shadow.) Totally incurious unless they think there's profit to be made. Theyre selfish little klepto men with a big 'greed' flaw written right across their foreheads, but theyre both pacifists at heart and given the choice would never hurt a fly.

I love them both a whole lot I'm super sorry about spamming the dashboard with my hyperfixation

In conclusion

Speaking of these games if you've ever wanted to relive something as scary as the Ocean House Hotel in not-a-horror game, then the Shalebridge Cradle mission in thief 3 is about the only equal that I think exists

🧿 DO DRAVYN TOO PLS

Really glad he isn’t actually my sire sometimes, despite whatever. Because he can be really embarrassing.

I have just enough self-awareness left that I’d go home from a party if I spotted my dad in the spotlight, dressed in full leather and arguing with a thirteen year old about fursuits.

Do you have a potential timeslot for the photoshoot in mind, and is crossplay okay?

Cross play is absolutely okay! I'll need to make sure the in-game mic is working on my end, since every other time I try to use it, it croaks on me.

No time slot for the photoshoot yet, though. Still need 3 more volunteers!

y’all.....this video had me going through it trying to make all the text look nice💀  my first wangxian video was from lwj’s perspective, so this time around i wanted to make one largely from wwx’s perspective. big shoutout to @stormbreaker and their edit which inspired me to finally go ahead and get started on this video idea! i discovered this song cover back when i was looking up songs by the name of “delicate” for one of the daily prompts of my...spring untamed fest? it fits them so well and i’m happy i decided to edit these two with it! hope you guys like it!! (and i hope youtube doesn’t kill the quality...) if you liked this post, i’ll be tagging you below, and if tumblr won’t let me @ you, i’ll be tagging you in the actual tags~

"Can I roll arcane lore to identify the mango?"

sure go for it 

Askbox is currently closed as I work my way through these older asks

Endurance is more important for pvp or builds that use heavier weapons, but it ends up being my dump stat. If I have enough for 2-3 attacks + a dodge before the bar empties, I'm set. Also! I've seen a lot of people who leave their endurance low, allocate those points to their damage stat, then use the tier 3 stamina rune to make up some of the difference.

these are all very valid points for those less endurance-inclined.

but I play bloodborne real messy and like big stamina bar so I can panic dodge and flip around like a piece of idiot confetti on the wind

☕ - your clan's antitribu

HARRUMPH. Base instinct tells me I should thoroughly dislike them all, though there are a -few- who have won my respect. Generally most antitribu I hear about are those who have inserted themselves into the Camarilla, using their greater powers and domineering attitudes to claw their way up the Camarilla power structure. Antitribu are still LASOMBRA after all, we have to have SOME sort of hierarchy in place, lest we go mad. And call it treasonous, but I can also understand a general...dislike of some Sabbat tactics.  I myself dislike the mass embraces the Sabbat often relies upon for shock troops, and the general willingness to simply throw lives at the figurative dart board until something -sticks-. If we are TRULY to win the Jyhad and destroy the coming Antediluvians, we need as many ready and willing to fight as possible, do we not? Pointless bloodshed accomplishes nothing but tickling some other elder’s lust for destruction and potentially even HASTENS the awakening of our TRUE enemies. But to simply insert oneself into the Camarilla is simply delaying the inevitable. One cannot change the way the Camarilla works, not without destroying their Inner Circle, and any Lasombra worth their salt KNOWS the Camarilla cannot, WILL NOT win the Jyhad. No, most Camarilla antitribu I have seen and heard of are simply taking advantage of their greater strength against untempered Camarilla, and basking in their own self-righteous power trips. Eugh. As I said though, there are some who HAVE earned my respect. Lucita de Aragon needs no introduction, and lets her power and skill speak for itself. Her words have teeth and her presence alone is enough to cause any wise Lasombra to draw their shadows in very close, like a mortal child with a security blanket... I have crossed paths with her but once, and know only that I survived because I respectfully bowed out of her way. I was not her target that night, but had I interfered, I would have been an -extra- casualty. A second is Marcus Vitel, who actually served as a Prince in Washington D.C. for quite some time, right under the Camarilla’s nose... Oh, but then, of course, the double-crosser double-crossed the Sabbat in turn, and took the city back as an apolitical Independent entity. I -would- argue that this move is pointless and foolish, but none who have dared challenge him for it has succeeded yet...And there are some rumors that is not the same Vitel at all, merely that some other older, wilier Keeper has taken up the name and mantle to better hide their true strength and lineage. I should be, and certainly AM wary of how close our territories are. Thus far, Vitel has seemed content with his borders, but I know better than to stay comfortable, not with that hoary old beast so near. So, in conclusion, my feelings can best be summed up as...complicated. Generally it is a horrible idea to try and go against the Sabbat, but those who HAVE managed to do so and live are among the most terrifyingly powerful Lasombra walking this Earth, and I cannot help but respect that. ((ooc: pwease no yell at me for getting lore or timeline things mixed up, the tumblr rp is a weird mish mash of some people using v5 stuff, others using v20, and we’re already ignoring the end of Bloodlines and thus most of the By Night canon by extension...))

One of my npc characters is Dracula's illegitimate grandchilde and all I can think about when I open tumblr right now is him grabbing Beckett's shoulders and yelling "DID YOU FUCK MY GRANDFATHER???"

asdfghjkl; omg, write! that! fic!

AHHH, this is so hilarious. Imagine Beckett’s face. He keeps this extensive diary to help Kindred know their history and learn from him and now everyone’s asking him if he really fucked Dracula and how was it. An absolutely lovely blush, if Kindred could do that kind of thing.
