Sanguine

just a slut for stories

[criticalrolo]

Doesn’t really count as a cr dream but I was half-awake this morning and my wandering brain decided to say to me “the best afterlife we can hope for is to be returned to the earth as penance for all we’ve done to hurt it” and it was like the spirit of Caduceus had possessed me for a moment which is tbh something I’m 100% okay with

Oh Jesus alsjdjsksls

Kattigan Vale - sirens

[caprisunsweet]

LOVE that we have a binding motivation for so many characters (Primus Tachonis, evil bastard extroidinaire) but I really wonder why the hell he did kill Kattigan's family.

Not like it'd be a struggle or anything, and he obviously would have 0 reason to have a moral complaint about it but- from what we saw it doesn't seem like it was a random moment of running into some peasants who piss you off and doing the cruel rich noble thing of murdering them/beating them etc.

He snuck into Kattigan's home and killed them there. And Primus does not seem like the type to just randomly murder civilians unless they serve a purpose OR got in his way; and as far as we know Kattigan at this point was just a random farmer / peasant, and likely so were his wife and child. So what PURPOSE, what FUNCTION, in Primus's machinations did these corpses provide?

Other big question: which PC gets Primus Tachonis killing priority?

Do we do it based on like, chronology (he killed my family first, so I get dibs!) or based on severity of personal betrayal (Occtis?) Opportunity based?

[unpoeticnerd]

No I absolutely believe it served no function and Primus has a serial killing urge that he needs to satisfy. Killing is so easy for him that the itch isnt scratched if he doesn't go about it like a sneak thief.

I had a job that was entirely not customer facing whatsoever. Sat in a cubicle all day. The female colleagues would only say hello to me on the days I wore make up. I tested this.

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

[unpoeticnerd]

Oh my god WHAT. I've never seen the 'other carnivorous animals are evil' take. I've seen "I feed my cat a vegan diet because I refuse to engage in the consumption of meat" which has the same result but a very different mindset. Incredibly fucking crazy take, it's like some fantasy wood elf race or some shit.

[unpoeticnerd]

You have to find the disabling button first! Usually there isn't one. But a list of services AI offers and you have to tick them off one by one by one and they're all worded so horribly you can't tell what you're turning off.

Complete coincidence of course. That the people obsessed with UX/UI suddenly no longer know how to make something user friendly

[stantler]

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive

[stantler]

This is why I hate it when people say something homophobic and then go “so you’re really accusing me, a whole ass lesbian, of being homophobic 🙄” like yeah

[unpoeticnerd]

People using their identity as shields. Knew someone who was a gigantic piece of shit with very misogynist behaviour. Suddenly she declared she's trans and all I could think of was "Oh we're going to get like Expert Level Misogyny now." And sure enough. Her first order of business was bullying, harassing, negging women and then going 'I am a woman, too! I can't be a misogynist!'

Congratulations, Occtis Tachonis! You are no longer The Loser of your family!

Ethrand Tachonis, you have hereby been sentenced to bear the title of The Loser of your family for the following crimes:

Botching the murder and celestial transformation of your brother (he doesn't even have sorcery magic, bro, how did you fuck this up so bad?)

Lie so terribly that the Cormoray and Einfasen immediately catch on to the fact that something is not right about whatever the fuck is going on with your family

Being so unlikeable that a Lady of your allied Sundered House would rather run away from home to try and court Julien Davinos instead of "get to know you" as her father suggested

[revvethasmythh]

a WOMAN is trying to COURT YOU and she grows NINE FEET TALL and summons a GREATAXE from the SKY

[unpoeticnerd]

THE FACT HE DIDN'T CHECK THE GREATAXE FOR STATS!!!

[captainofthetidesbreath]

I know every sentence between Julien and Maya is peak and instantly iconic but shoutout to "Your father is the greatest warrior I have ever known," Julien unhesitatingly replying "Second," then Maya responding to that with a long look, a slow smile, and a pained laugh

[bastardash]

You drink poison almost die, a potion appears on your chest, your sword and shield somehow come to you, you're dying, your druid finally snaps out of it and removes the poison, you get rocked by would be assassins as a magical shield envelops you, suddenly a woman with the biggest rack you've ever seen appears out of nowhere and stabs one of the assassins in front of you.

Happened to my best friend King Gus.

[unpoeticnerd]

King Gus get on that

And by that I mean Murray Magnesson

[obibail]

there's regular daddy issues and then there's "i use alter self to mold myself into what i would've looked like if thjazi had actually been my father and fall asleep like that." congratulations azune that's the most mentally unwell anyone's ever done it, bud

Campaign 4 ep. 25 schemers table combat had some of the most exhilarating strategic gameplay I’ve ever seen in an actual play.

Yes the roleplay and the story were crazy but just TACTICALLY they were so good.

Murray managing to stay invisible for so long. The PORTENT revealing Brennan was lying. Hal alone in the secret surprise battlefield, using scary bard voice to force failed saves. Bolaire and Azune’s graceful, dance-like collaboration. King Gus pulling an Amethar Rocks style recovery from an assassination attempt. It was just all mechanically genius.

I’m gonna miss the schemers

[unpoeticnerd]

King Gus GROWLING and yelling YOU FUCKED UP has got to be the hottest thing I've ever witnessed
