Reaper Man / The Shepherd’s Crown / Going Postal by Terry Pratchett

#inspired by that post about terry giving us so many frameworks to think about death #discworld #reaper man #the shepherd's crown #going postal #* #feel free to add on other instances of this theme this was just off the top of my head

This screenshot is from @rauzagel (hope that’s ok) but I needed to talk about it because out of all the words they could have chosen, they chose inconsolable, like not enraged or furious but inconsolable.

The mental image that conjures for me is Raphael sobbing into a tub of ice cream because he thought Tav and him had something special.

Larian, you can’t use that word right after saying “you don’t realize quite how much you mean to the master”. You can’t use these words and not expect me to assume that Raphael has the cambion equivalent of a crush on Tav. Especially given everything else you can find in the HoH and just by talking to the people he’s acquainted with.

This is just so funny and I love how Raphael is in universe both a very successful and powerful cambion but also he gets a crush and he becomes an obsessive weirdo who can’t pretend to be normal.

#bg3 #bg3 raphael #if this were our world he’d 100% be stalking tav’s social media #I love him #he’s simultaneously charismatic and pathetic #love that in a man #‘hey raph what happens if I sign and don’t give you the crown’ #‘I put you on a meat hook’ #his staff: ‘he’d break down if you rejected him’

Just roll with it doodle :33

Figuring out how to draw these funky characters (starting with the fish man himself)

#Charlie you cannot tell me your character is a fish man and not expect me (or the rest of the fandom it seems) #to not draw him with fish/monster characteristics #omg the coral crown was giving me so much grief but I think I have to sacrifice his bangs for the coral #I think it looks good tho so I’m sticking to it #next up is of course chip and Jay and also pretzel and clorten #them <3 #jrwi riptide #my art #doodles #also there is a saddening lack of gillion being wet in art so I am determined to contribute to this canonical fact #I love my sad wet cat characters #gillion tidestrider #jrwi gillion

Despite its flaws, there has never been a more beautiful and faithful adaptation of Tolkien's work

#the hobbit #lotr #the hobbit 1977 #rankin-bass #the sheer fact that they incorporated THE SONGS #the joy and relief of arriving at rivendell to a chorus of elfsong is unparalelled #and bearded elrond with a crown of stars is GOAT #i love the idea of him retaining a beard as half elven #....though in all honesty i think having become spiritually full elf his physiology wouldve followed suit #as the elven form is defined by a half spiritual body... his physiology would've had to have changed alongside his spirit #aragorn retained a strong spiritual form as well due to his elven blood... but as man did not have the full simulatenous conscious presence #and tolkien’s theology certainly wasnt dualist despite depiction of tangible spirituality... it was more ’multidimensional’ than individual #so i think elrond's material form must've aligned to elven biology as well to posess such a spiritual nature... meaning no beard :( #but we can dream cant we #at least we got the shipwright and the ancient un-fallen elves in the West probably have beards too #they'll give elrond one when he gets there

hate how team green stans jump through hoops to justify alicent’s wrongdoings but then end up backing themselves into a corner.

they want her to be this poor little victim forever stuck at fifteen and ignore the fact that she put her daughter through the exact same thing when she was even younger. but then they also try and say that she was ruling the kingdom for decades while viserys was ill and was the best monarch, and ignore the fact that she was just attacking the heir constantly and used her standing to enforce the laws that were already there. she expected everyone else to suffer and accept their place because she believed herself better than those around her for laying down and accepting her suffering and she attacked those who wanted to benefit themselves and others in a system set against them - rhaenyra fighting for her rightful place as heir despite being a woman. she also silenced others with pain - dyana, the serving girl who was assaulted by aegon (and this was not just a one-of occasion cause the maids were literally shown to be scared of aegon and he is canonically a vile person.)

#asoiaf #hotd #house of the dragon #pro team black #team black #rhaenyra targaryen #pro rhaenyra targaryen #rhaenyra targaryen deserved better #i would have literally just burned them alive #like dont give me a dragon and then expect me to sit quiet while people belittle and insult and abuse me and my children #she was the true queen!!!!! #NOBODY deserved her #also the people who hate her for “not fighting” #like she was going through heavy grief and mourning her children and had a miscarriage because she found out her father was dead #and her crown had been usurped #ALL IN THE SAME DAY #fuck team green #literally the whole team is built on misogyny but the stans refuse to except that #like come on now #the dance literally wouldnt have happened if rhaenyra was a man but they jump through hoops saying it was anything BUT that #anyway #they ENFURUATE me #but rhaenyra won in the end #anti team green #anti team green stans #anti alicent hightower #anti alicent hightower stans #anti aegon ii targaryen #anti aegon ii stans

ok chat im gonna be honest i was thinking about making a cowboy nari design because i have brainrot but umm. i started thinking about ferryman ultrakill and now nari has a parasol and like . i lost the plot but im still happy with what i ended up with though soo enjoy :)

#“he is a black cat get that man some shade” #his third eye is on his cloak :) i was playing with design ideas #i figured he and lamb probably wouldnt meet for a long time in a cowboy au and a bell/crown equivalent turned into nari giving lamb #the 'third eye' #8icariart #just little doodles #narinder #cotl

So... definitely spoilers under this cut cuz holy shit the episode went all ways fucked today! But...

First things first, loved the ruthlessness of the Spider Queen and the gods kinda opening a channel of communication as to why they are insisting so much about champions and the urgency (especially the Matron and SQ)

That was a whole lot of physical, mental and emotional damage thrown all the fuck around so I go character by character

Morrighan, known the Crown Keepers for the shortest time and yet, the way she goes to preserve Opal's memories and her hesitation to leave but still knowing that she needs to go and giving Opal a promise to save her memories

Fy'ra accepting the Wildmother's call, jumping in on the Spider meeting because she cannot lose another sister, no matter what and just also watches as Dorian, Dariax and Morrighan leave, probably not knowing what motivated them to.

Cyrus was just in the sidelines. He didn't have to die 😭😭😭😭

Opal. Poor Opal. She didn't really know what was really at stake and now she has a corrupted memory or two, lost her Original name, her childhood and TED! And important info about her mother too, all due to the lack of communication between the SQ and her regarding the stakes.

And my god, Dorian and Dariax! I don't even know who to start with because they both took damage in a different yet equal level here?

I mean, I guess I will start with Dorian cuz... well, he lost his fucking brother and the way he couldn't even approach him one last time due to Opal's suggestion to find Orym? Not even allowed to process what happened, grieve and one of the last fucking things he did was not to talk to Cyrus but hit him in an attempt to save him and hear his screams and howls of pain? Wondering how much you ever knew your brother and now the responsibility that was upon his shoulders fall onto you? The Spider Queen taunting at your helplessness and just the cold ass way of just turning her own against her in some sort of a revenge? (a badass move by the way, "Kill your Mother") Going on a revenge spree. being lost and without purpose only to reunite with Bells Hells, another group of fucked up people after you leave Dariax. WHO SPECIFICALLY WAS FOLLOWING YOU??? BECAUSE HE WAS ALSO LOST ON HIS OWN??

And Dariax man. He was just asked by Opal to find Orym and so he goes, not understanding why they weren't going with him, not really understanding what happened to Cyrus initially and later on it just... hits him when the compulsion wears off and the betrayal he doesn't focus on because he follows Dorian and is worried about Dorian only for Dorian to leave him with his fucking lute in a, technically, unknown area? Now that's like two betrayals to process unless Dorian makes a fucking attempt to meet back up with Dariax again real soon cuz I swear to god you are just putting the sweetest person who just wants to support everyone down the deep end real quick cuz his sole purpose was to support Opal and she doesn't want him and now he follows Dorian and he also leaves him and I DON'T WANT THIS MUCH EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE ON DARIAX! I LOVED THE HIMBO THAT HE IS! OBSERVER LEAD HIM BACK TO DORIAN AND MAKE HIM WHACK HIM OVER HIS HEAD WITH THE LUTE! KNOCK SOME SENSE INTO THE GENASI FOR ME! I want Dariax to meet Orym and the Hells and the meeting should be in the most unbelievable way and- (starts an idea for a fic)

(I mean, narratively I get it, Matt can't DM and play a PC character but really, leaving him cold shouldered like that? Come on man! I understand the motivation characterwise too but really??)

And don't get me started with the reunion. I am glad Dorian asked Keyleth for some support, man I really do. But the way the reunion was going on, I think they are really skipping over some of the serious stuff in an attempt to catch up (which, realistically is going to be a mess because it is a lot to catch up tbh) but the way some of the stuff which could've been talked a little bit more about but bottled up is like... a lot. And I want those conversations so bad. I want Dorian to sit down and tell Orym and Fearne about what exactly went down. I want the Hells to properly talk about Thull. I want them to lay everything out in the open. The Deals. The risks.

I said it once and I say it again. I want the fucking Bells Hells to play a game of What the Fuck is Up with That under a Zone of Truth and talk about every single fucking thing for a really long time and I need proper conversations. I really do. And I want them to stop avoiding stuff.

And my man Dorian. Get Dariax back. You can't give me a joking "bonus action, Double Ds kiss" and immediately abandon him in Zephrah. You cannot do it to my poor heart. Not after all the elder sibling feels I am going through. I am sorry but you cannot.

I am going to miss the Crown Keepers a lot man. I am going to miss them a lot. They were my intro to CR and it is so fucking emotional to see them disband like this in a heartbreaking manner.

Thank you @quidde for this lovely story you gave us with all the silliness and all the heartbreak 🥺🥺🥺

I think I am going to catch some sleep rn even tho it is the afternoon. After a conversation with my teacher which I totally forgot about shit.

#critical role #critical role spoilers #cr spoilers #messy thots #ik it is a long post but I am so mad at many thing that happened #and emotional #and sleep deprived #that while I will watch the episode again because it gives me my heart's worth of Double D content and especially Dariax #I don't know man #it is also a lot to process #that's all i can say #anyone else with thoughts #please chime in #bells hells #crown keepers

So, uh

We do know there’s no “good”* Bloodweave ending without Tav/player influence, right?

#listen: these men will only amplify each other’s lust for power/control #‘good’ here refers to a non-Ascended Astarion/Gale gives up the Crown ending #you know - one where the characters are truly happy as they are #but YMMV on whether you personally believe that spawn!Astarion and human!Gale are their good endings #and yes ofc you can change that trajectory!! that’s what I mean #but just consider their dynamic and motivations w/o an external force pushing them to be ‘good’ #they will certifiably make each other worse!! #thanks for coming to my ted talk #gonna toss this in the tags and see what happens lol #bloodweave #gale dekarios #astarion ancunin #the keyword in ‘toxic old man yaoi’ isn’t ‘old’ it’s TOXIC!!

hey jsyk your art has been putting my flower crown (magoranza) (i like calling them that and use that ship name liberally so that other people start using it too) brainrot into overdrive and incentivizing me to write more of them

A little shoutout to @coolmagoloraskblog

Because I'm a huge fan of them ❤

Heres a bonus for you @ironforest4

They're dancing in the moonlight at Taranza's place

Paris + The Gods

please pretend that it looks like ares is taking the crown from paris instead of giving a crown to paris because having paris actively hand it over didn't work with the rest of the concept for this drawing

also please pretend that it actually looks like aphrodite is leaning over instead of looking like she's the same height as paris - a lot of the shading i used to indicate that she wasn't standing up straight got killed by the glowy hair effects

bonus flats + simpler shading under the cut, bonus ramblings in the tags

#paris of troy #aphrodite #apollo #ares #this drawing was inspired by me talking with a friend about the trojan royal family #and realizing that even for someone from a family with a lot of connection to the gods #paris has a *lot* of connection to the gods #i mean the connection to aphrodite should be. obvious #and there's also the story of ares for some reason deciding to enter a bull contest that paris was holding #(for those who aren't aware of this story: ares wins and paris gives him a crown as a prize) #and then paris was skilled with a bow and a lyre which would have been in apollo's domains #and the variant of achilles death i've seen most has apollo working with paris to kill achilles #(which means it was paris who apollo went to avenge hector and also apollo's son(s) that achilles killed) #and paris's first wife was a nymph and his second wife was a demigod #also this is stretching things but you could argue there's something to be said #for how athena - who (according to one account of tiresias's story) had blinded a mortal man for seeing her naked - #and hera - who had reason to not be very fond of trojan princes - #were both willing to accept a mortal trojan prince as their judge #and were both willing to offer up extremely generous rewards #although i do say that that's stretching since you could also just say they both wanted the apple badly enough #to accept the judge and offer up those prizes no matter who the judge was #also it has occured to me that since paris is also called alexander #everyone in this drawing has a name that starts with 'A' #anyway i think the joke i made to my friend is that paris might be godnip #like catnip. but for gods. godnip. #my art

the way you buy dlc for eso is so stupid. why can't i just pay with real money on steam or something

#and expensive as hell holy shit #it is gonna cost me twice as much for a few dlc as all of the chapters up to date did #mine #2 dlc with crowns on sale cost as much as the base game with all of the major chapters when on sale #thats fucking dumb #and i want to buy now that there is a sale #but man i dont want to spend that much at once #and no im not getting eso plus. i refuse. i think its such a shitty irritating idea i refuse to give into it

#my art #navii art #sth fanart #archie sonic 25 years later #prince consort sonic bc like hell he takes on any actual responsibility lol #i hc that elias steps down to be a family man after a few years while robotnik is still a threat #sally and the council make an agreement for her to be the last acting monarch- any future children won't be heirs #only reason she doesn't abolish the crown sooner is because she wanted to reform the council to prepare for her retirement #sally acorn #sonic the hedgehog #elias acorn #i'd imagine sonic still travels quite a bit after robotnik is dealt with- does public campaigns and restoration efforts #idk what would prompt them to actually marry- but it's much more platonic at this point than romantic #kids aren't much of a discussion until later in their lives- prob late 30s/40s #i'll give her pauldrons too

I feel so crazy about that last episode I knew literally in my soul that the lich would appear eventually and be named the last scholar of golb. Throws up everywherr

#i canttt do this. i love betty and simon so much this new view on their dynamic makes me feel crazy #its undoubtedly like a strange power dynamic that simon is unaware of (heees kind of dumb but not a bad person by any means) that drives- #-betty to act how she does with him at first. like her perfect idolized interaction with a author she loves dearly #and for her to put aside her life like that for him in this manic sort of perfect scenario shes so enthralled by #gah i live them so much. simon being unaware of this and it damaging their relationship in the future unknowingly #she gives so much man. not to say simon doesn't i think hes just as great a lover as betty wanted but betty has this endlessness to her- #-devoting her time and her life and her dreams to this perfect world she gets to live in now #i do think she relaxes with it further into their relationship when she feels less like she has to be cool or prove herself to someone she- #-idolizes. and that they get better and closer and more equal (i say theyre never truly equal considering it revolves around simons whims)- #betty really learns to love for that period of their life. for however long it takes them to get to 'fianceès' its really their perfect life #and then everything happens. the crown. the portal. the war. the world ending. ice king. betty in ooo. and its all ruined again and she cant #acess simon so he is again returned to this state of a forbidden person she desperately chases and gives up her life for. she regresses to- #-when their dynamic was unknown woman and author she loves dearly appearing before her eyes #and that unnatainable aspect is what drives her insane. she cant do anything this time. he doesnt even know who *he* is. its hopeless #her trying to date ice king and freaking out about it because this perfect picture is gone and she doesnt /like/ him like this #agh. bety. siom #fionna and cake spoilers #fionna and cake #talking2myself

sorry queen but a cheater is a cheater is a cheater and that's not a label i easily let go of

#obviously extenuating circumstances #but i don't mean i was traumatized and repressing my feelings blah blah staying with the safe choice #so u were an asshole. #so u obviously don't care enough about the person ur dating to stop for a second and actually think about the consequences of ur actions #and the fact that she didn't even acknowledge what she did #and just happily ended up with her man and her ex APOLOGIZED? #pick up ur head king ur crown is falling #and yes this is a major reason why i refuse to even support ronance #like it's my personal opinion and i'm not stopping people from shipping who they like #but i also want to get my thoughts out there scream into the void or whatever #as a lesbian from a small town i'll tell u i would certainly not date a girl who cheated on my best friend #so don't pull that argument on me #it just feels evil to me #like can't steve have ONE thing like ONE person in his corner #why make him constantly apologize and have to give way when he's done like. nothing wrong #first of all he was reclaiming queer duh #and he was right to be pissed #i get that it's two attractive girls and one is canonically gay #but ur reaching

daella targaryen | rhaenyra targaryen

#oh I’m thinking about them #IM THINKING ABOUT THEM #the idea rhaenyra looks like her grandmother is 🫶 so important to me actually like #the idea daella who was so ? genuinely discounted by everyone around her and married off to a man who already had heirs so she married #someone was the grandmother of the first queen regnant by her only child that she😭 died giving birth to #her being the one to inherit jaehaerys’ crown #don’t think about the matrilineal line of daella - aemma - rhaenyra that shit will kill you
