"[...] But nothing has made me quiver more than seeing your face here today, tentacles and all. [...] Soon I will find some way to see you in flesh. To touch you as you were meant to be touched."

Throwing this screenshot at the face of all the tavflayer haters that say Lae'zel would hate you for becoming one. (More spoilers ahead)

She is not bitter, she is not resentful. She still loves tav, misses tav and wishes to see them properly not by just a projection. But now with Orpheus gone, she has a job to do. She pretty much becomes the new Comet for her people... and I couldn't be more proud of her.

From her dialogue we can see, that because she has experienced quite a life outside that of a ordinary githyanki, she has a fresh perspective to offer her people. Even at that moment very moment, she was sent for a DIPLOMATIC mission and she admits that from your whole journey she learned that a knife to a throat is not always the best choice to persuade someone.

Its really funny how the path without Orpheus is just... literally not that bad!!! She gets shit done, works hard and I'm pretty sure eventually beats that Vlaakith ass proper.

"I am the Comet. I will not rest until I burn Vlaakith's bones to ash and smash her phylactery to pieces. My people will be fee!"

You go girl. If you need any help just ask. But I'm sure you got all it takes to achieve that goal.

i want to stress, so much, that there's a difference between good media, and media that's well-suited to transformative fandom.

sometimes, the canon is so good on its own that you don't feel the need to add anything to it. you could, and people do (and should!) but the writers/creators really knew what they were doing and the experience of consuming said piece of media is entirely satisfying on its own.

then, there's the objectively mediocre stuff that has just enough hints at depth/character backstory potential/little plot idiosyncrasies to make it a perfect sandbox. i'm talking big movie franchises and long-running, middling procedurals that won't win any awards. there's so much potential there, and the writers either lack the skill or time to explore it all fully, and that's where fandom jumps in.

sometimes, that's the best kind of show to be in fandom for, because what else are we all going to do but be creative and fix what canon can't get right?

“Every Pokemon is someone’s favourite” I’m making a spreadsheet to see if this is true. Reblog with your favourite Pokemon in the tags.

Here’s the spreadsheet in-progress

[grootficguy]

Ok, mother of GOD that's a lot of responses and I am but one man with Excel. I'll update these ASAP but also some rules:

A Pokemon only counts for itself, not its evolution line.

A Pokemon with multiple forms (like Zygarde) will only be counted for the specified form. A Pokemon with multiple appearances (like Spinda, Vivillon, Sylvally, etc.) count for all their appearances.

I'm literally doing this as a testament to my own depression that not everyone is lovable, so add that to the weight of this post's meaning.

Here’s some sketches exploring one of my ideas for the creature from “The Terror” by Dan Simmons, and how I imagined it could work as a supernatural element while still able to be mistaken for a polar bear at a glance or in the distance.

All the variants of this classic meme have always made me laugh, and then I had this "Chamberlain variant" idea...and I just couldn't not draw it.

How did you like this one? I hope it got a good laugh out of you, too! Share it around shamelessly if you know other Dark Crystal fans who might be in need of a hearthy laugh!

My piece for Baldur's Gate 3 Anniversary Zine ~

[wonderstruck]

BG3 - The Emperor - Notes on a character

We’ve 'finished' working on a document about The Emperor from Baldur's gate 3, covering pretty much all aspects of the character. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1L7YLGcvu8FmoRFzfpRqaG3nEWz6PYoJP/view?usp=sharing

We focused on patterns, cross-checking what the Emperor says with what he actually does across the entire game, not just in isolated moments. (+ Interviews and lore) So this not a real analysis that argues scene by scene, and this approach comes with its own interpretation, but what emerges from it is a sense of coherence that holds up across all the branching, from the opening of the game to its conclusions. No "The Emperor is evil", no "Larian didn’t know what they were doing," no "the romance is unfinished," and no "he’s just a blank mirror for the player."

This document exists because we couldn’t find anything like it, so we ended up writing it ourself. Hopefully you’ll find some interest in this. ++ St
