Okay I know I need to pump the breaks on IF HALBRAND ISNT SAURON WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE as obviously he could also be the witch king or the king under the mountain, etc. and I need to guard my heart from disappointment.

BUT an excellent counterpoint I heard on the Ringerverse podcast was this: we have tv literacy, right??? So when Adar is like ‘no but for real for real who are you?’ and Halbrand just pauses before ghosting him — that means Halbrand is someone known in this time period and all the theories around him being a third age villain are then not really valid. HE HAS TO BE SAURON OR WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE. I AM FAILING AT PUMPING THE BREAKS. 😭

#if halbrand isn’t sauron what are we doing here #AND IN THE DARKNESS BIND THEM #the rings of power #imma be rll upset if we show up and CeleyB is all MY NEW FRIEND ANNATAR IS HERE #cries into hands #I’ve never felt so passionate about a theory lololol

//BG3 SPOILERS

Something about Gortash getting Orin to sign the “don’t stab me contracts” by lying and telling her that Durge also had to sign them- and for just a moment Orin latching onto that belief.

Gortash got to live because they literally couldn’t end him, not because there was some sick sort of affection there. Her bloodkin, stupid as they were, would never sink so low as to actually care about anyone, not to mention Bane’s Chosen of all people.

And then promptly finding out/realizing that Gortash is a liar and probably trying to stab him about it

#something very fun about Durge not only NOT having to make a binding contract to not harm Gortash #but also Gortash not feeling a need to make them sign one (this continues into the main game where the most binding thing you do is say you #won’t actively harm him- and it’s just orally- you can absolutley be lying about that) #IF you even choose to tel him that #also also Orin having a weird affection for her sibling and wanting to believe that they fell so low in her eyes because they were #literally bound to it #and then finding out that no they just got along with this guy and now you can’t murder him about it #bg3 spoilers #Durge #the dark urge #Orin the red #enver gortash

Under the cut are mostly self-insert doodles of decreasing quality. Again, not much directly tied to Team Fortress 2. Might as well toss these out while I have no access to my puter. Much yapping under the cut and in the tags incoming.

Another self-insert, this time less of a "here's me as a tenth class" and more of a "here's my game experiences translated into the class I would take the place of". The Cleaner. Although I guess they could still be wearing either suit. It doesn't matter that much.

That one Convict's Case taunt with Backup would be extremely funny, because the man would be on the verge of a breakdown (he does not want to go to jail so bad you have no idea). The second image- I owe no explanation. You know what I am. You see the pattern with my favourites.

The duality of the man. Resting face versus "just heard you express interest in religion/Russian folklore" face. He's not that hard to make friends with, when you pull him away from all the explosions.

Some doodles of trying to figure his face out. Unfortunately, the more I stare at him, the more I worry that he looks like A Certain Guy With The Last Name "Kazarin", and the fear of never being original in my life caught up to me.

Don't look at me, don't perceive me, I refuse to explain any of my actions to you.

#team fortress 2 #tf2 #that's it that's the only tags i am putting this in. maybe someday i will have the balls to do more but for now that's about it #while i have the chance - and since posts with more of my yapping in the tags don't pop in people's feeds much - i might as well ramble- #-about these guys here. self-inserts or not i'm projecting only half of my bullshit on each one of them. creativity 👍 #backup is tall and pale and has sharp canines and more of a dull brown hair colour with tired grey eyes. no amount of babyface or soft- #-hands can really help a motherfucker when he's grimacing so much because he just Hates being around half the people on the team. #cleaner meanwhile is on the shorter side and has constantly flushed skin and brighter colours and whatnot. you can't see it because of the- #-mask most of the time but they do smile a lot more and have a more cheery disposition towards life and see the whole team as their friends! #backup transitioned fully (albeit not very legally lmao) and is scared shitless of not being seen as a man although the last time that ever- #-came up was years ago. he holds onto his last name as part of the heritage he loves and loathes at the same time - attached to his culture- #-and religion and bloodline while also resentful of his family and the regime he knows someone else on the team suffered under. #cleaner just kinda binds and calls it a day. he only does it to confuse the team because while he doesn't identify with being a girl he- #-loves the confused looks his epic gender reveal moment gets. they do not remember their family name or where they grew up or what even got- #-them to this kind of mental state. and he's chill with it he values the here and now way more than some dark edgy backstory. #backup despite trying to be an honest man is afraid of vulnerability as well. he stubbornly refuses to express love towards certain people- #-lest they feel disgusted and turn away. he's afraid of consequences afraid of losing the people he loves afraid of his ''interests'' being- #-what drives them away. it doesn't by the way and he just wasted time being a cold indecisive loser for several months lmao #cleaner wears a suit that hides all of them yes but they pretty much never lie. he is always his truest self and he can always just burn- #-people who don't like him enough to make it a problem. they are a lot more comfortable indulging in their interests - be they innocent- #-and juvenile or violent and dangerous. he is quite open with his affection and his fascinations that backup would rather keep secret. #i want to establish that these two can only exist in separate universes because they both have feelings towards the funny assistant lady- #-and the funny inventor guy (selfshipping for the winnn) and would fight over those two. cleaner would win by the way #it's also a really funny point of comparison. cleaner is objectively more fucked up than backup and still managed to be more normal about- #-their feelings and live as a healthier and happier person than that guy. comedic gold honestly #OKAY I'M DONE if you read up to here you get uhhh a cookie :-)

The fact that in Deepest Reflections, AFTER EVERYTHING, when asked who his father is under veritaserum Harry stills says Lord Voldemort? Not even just Voldemort but honorific title and all??? I'm so unwell about their dynamic in Kurinoone's work

#harrymort #it's been 14 YEARS but i have it in my binding list and was lurking the chapters to see how to best make these books #and suddenly started reading some of my fave moments #me writing tentative: this is a love letter to the dark prince trilogy i hope it pays it the respects it deserves #me rereading this: the only rhing that xame between the dark lord and his son was fear itself I WILL NEVER MAKE ANYTHING LIKE THIS. EVER. #i am so unwell about this hiw am i going to bind all of these fics when i can't even reread them without screaming into the void

I don't know anyone who plays The Binding of Isaac besides my brother and he's asleep so

I just finished the final chapter with Jacob and Esau! Initially I just wanted to unlock Tainted Jacob, but I manage to pull them through somehow??

I wrote a LONG rant that I'm gonna spare you all the pain of scrolling past, but good lord. All I want is for Durge to still be able to be Durge not Tav 2 even if they reject Bhaal. Have the game look at my previous choices, I beg you. Have I been a good boy? Have I been nasty? Have I been enthusiastic about being murder incarnate or not? Make it matter. Allow my Durge's amnesia-plagued ass to develop some personality and don't force them into either the Resurrected Angel Hero or Newborn Bad Guy That Everyone Hates box, please. And give everyone Astarion's level of reactivity to playing that orgin. That's literally all it needs to be the PERFECT experience. Right now it's a half-abandoned mess to me and it hurts my heart because I absolutely adore Durge and their themes, but playing them starts getting so tiring once you progress the story enough to realise that your choices so far hold absolutely no weight and they really have only two pre-programmed personalities that you can chose from during a single bit of dialogue at the end there. Which would make sense if we were not able to completely customise the hell out of them and be given like 4-5 distinct reactions to every story moment they have 🙃

#“i guess i have no choice but to accept. he'll kill me if i say no” #says the durge who has had nothing but negative reactions to the entire ordeal #and then they smile as bhaal forever binds them together #after which their friends all treat them like they were not given the choice to either submit or die #no i will never shut the fuck up about that sorry #makes me want to go sicko mode #bg3 #the dark urge #durge spoilers #bg3 spoilers #the dark urge spoilers
