#Now to turn off anon

BG3 Thoughts

So I was thinking about the 6 Origin Chars and how nicely they broke into thematically-resonant pairs that would also make good ships, and innocently wondered if those were the most popular ships for the relevant chars. So I clicked over to the AO3 page, and

IDontKnowWhatIExpected.gif

I get it, he's popular, but literally 8 of the top 10 ships involve him. Fine, I think, already dispirited by how predictably focused on white dudes fandom is, I'll check the individual character tags.

Can you tell which of those screenshots is from which individual character's tag without checking the image descriptions? Because I can't. The only chars to show up more than twice on his own list of "most popular romances" are Astarion and Gale, the two white dudes out of the 6 chars.

There's 4,100 Shadowheart fics on AO3, and roughly 2,000 are Astarion/Tav, Astarion/OFC, or Astarion/Gale. Maybe 1,000 are Shadowheart/Anyone, anyone at all.

I get that the sad white boy vampire is popular, I do. But there's a number of unique and interesting characters in this series, it'd be nice if people could spend some focus on them.

[marmastry]

I'm really grateful that many of you appreciate my OC comics. I always look forward to reading your crazed tags but i think i should set up some boundaries now.

OC boundaries

Is Fanart OK? YES ^^

Is nsfw fanart OK? NO. I'm the only one allowed to sexualize my OCS (lol). I'm the only one who gets to choose who gets to see them as well, haha!

Are fan edits, and fanfics OK? Yeah (As long as it's not weird).

Can others draw their OCs with yours? Only if we're homies.

Are headcanons & Shipping ok? Kinda? I'd rather not be told about it unless we're moots or friends. I do enjoy ppl hc memes with them.

Is kinning ok? No.

Can I use your OC art? No.

We good?

I do not care what alignment you have with syscourse right now.

Harassment isn’t something that should be encouraged. If someone does not align with your views, block them and move on. If they’re harassing people, no matter what alignment you have, keep other people safe.

Don’t go spilling trauma to people either, it can trigger people.

Just block and move on. It does better for everyone.

We are anti-endo, but if someone comments that there is a blog that is harassing people even if they’re also anti-endo, I’m not for it. I’ll tell everyone no matter what. They’re harassing people, they don’t need to interact with anyone if they’re doing that.

Please stay safe.

#plurality #did system #osddid #system #traumagenic system #actually did #plural system #actually traumagenic #I don’t care for syscourse alignment right now #please block anyone that starts harassing you #turn off anon asks if it comes down to it #harassment isn’t something anyone should face #we are anti endo but harassment is not the way to go about anything

okay I'm this is a tall order but I am so confused about Taika. Does he support Israel? I've seen so many posts about people spreading rumors about him and other people saying he does support Israel, so what's the haps??

so the rumor that taika supports israel comes from the fact that he (and like 200 other hollywood ppl including some very famous names like mark hamill or jack black but for some reason ppl only are talking abt taika) signed a letter thanking biden for working to release hostages and fight hamas. the language in the letter does not acknowledge that israel is a settler colonial state and that hamas exists as a direct result of settler colonial violence.

the letter is bad but it’s bad in the way that someone who is not informed about the conflict probably would not pick up on. it’s a letter that on its surface just looks like concern for civilian hostages, which is a good and normal thing to be concerned about. the letter was also probably about as effective as when all those celebrities sang “imagine” during covid lockdowns, which is to say that it most likely did nothing. i doubt biden is making global decisions based on what 200 rich people in hollywood think (if anything he’s probably making decisions based on what 200 oil executives think ahaha)

ppl have also connected taika signing this letter to guz khan getting fired from ofmd. there was a rumor that he was fired bc he supports palestine, which is almost certainly not true. guz was fired bc the show got a 40% budget cut for s2 and his character was the easiest to write off. guz has said he wouldn’t compromise his morals for a job but that this wasn’t the job where he had to do that, and he has blocked the person who started that rumor. ALSO several actors in ofmd have since posted supporting palestine so like?? this one is pure antisemetic conspiracy theory. if taika had a problem with guz supporting palestine why was guz even hired in the first place.

anyway signing the letter was a bad thing that taika should not have done but it is impossible to determine his stance on israel based solely on the fact that he signed that letter. he has also liked posts about freeing palestine so like, who knows. i personally have much better things to be doing than scrutinizing everything a famous poc does to try and prove if he’s a good or bad person

tl;dr there is no hard evidence that taika supports israel ppl just hate him for being a wildly successful brown jewish man

Kinda sounds like you’re apologizing for proshipping, just saying,

These were my final words on the matter on Instagram. I'm sharing them here too because I've tried to stay cordial but people just use that as an excuse to continue to say rude things to me. I'm not apologizing for something that I never did.

#asks #turning off anon now too say it with your chest or don't say it at all

[archduke-enver-gortash]

time for me to be a cunt i guess. gortash is not some emo ya book bad boy, gortash is an absolute nightmare of a character—a proud fascist, slaver, oppressor and man who has horrific torture/dissection/science experiments as one of his top hobbies. he kidnaps several women and children and mutilates them and ruins their lives beyond recognition. he views himself as judge, jury and executioner of the world he’s violently conquering after his image and everyone else is at best a tool in his hands and at worst a mistake to be discarded. and those things are STILL only parts of the horrors this man enjoys inflicting on people. woobify him all you want, but that will not change this lmao.

#my turn to be a cunt. I’ve had anon off for a bit now but i’m still so pissed #just so much shit. ‘he’d never do this wah wah wahhhhh’ #did you play the game. be real with me here #by all means think of him as some stereotypical emo bad boy but don’t send me weird fucking messages about it #listen. enver gortash will not be woobified here and that’s it #enver gortash #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #gortash

I know you went into this briefly before. But truly. HOW INSANE adding a child into the Isabelamance arranged marriage Hawke.

Is the child expected to inherit? Does it remove potential matches Hawke could have had, potentially making the fiance lower on the social ladder than Hawke?? The implications?? Does Isabela even LIKE the kid??? What if the kid gets seasick. What then. How does no attachments no complications Isabela allow herself to fall in love with THE most attached man in Thedas.

AND THE KID WOULD BE OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE AGENCY AND OPINIONS AND AND SHIT IN ACT 3 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAJHHH

making this woman the not-stepmother to a kid growing up in a hightown estate just to feel something

#this banter is kind of bad and also makes me feel like a worm is eating through my heart #anyway. puts isabela in the device and shakes her rlly hard #its just so interesting to me like it doubles down on what makes hawkebela interesting #NEWSFLASH you cant cut yourself off and escape consequences!!! because people love you!!! what now girl!!! #without forcing isabela to be anything she isnt which she also fears #they dont need isabela to be wife and mother they just want her. #which is also something hawke needs to learn right. because hes trying to follow the arranged marriage be the good son and good father #and ignoring what and who actually makes him happy. like an idiot. #so theyre both making themselves miserable as if that is going to make the hawkeling feel any better. a story of stupidity #this is turning into a tag essay. you get it anon. is my point

Hey, have you heard about the new third-party option in the Visibility tab of blog settings yet?

I HAD NOT, THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP!!

In this house we hate AI generation tools built on content without permission, so I'd recommend everyone out there:

go into your blog tab

click on "blog settings"

scroll allllll the way to the bottom to the "prevent third-party sharing" option, and toggle that on (it looks as if you have to do this for each individual blog right now)

#big thank you anon I don't scroll tumblr super often but it does look as if the feed is already starting to fill up with people saying this #I appreciate that tumblr is at least letting people turn this off for now #I pretty much exclusively post here these days so I have no idea what I'm going to do if I have to bounce #asks

hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

#seriously another shout out to my mutuals #id particularly like to say thank you to boom who's always right there for me no matter what's happening or how insane im being #and also everyone in our little discord that wound up having to make a whole new channel for venting #bc i was there so often like 'today's weird ask isssss.... telling me about my cupsize!! rip them to shreds!!!' #hannah and theo especially being there and pushing me to finally turn off anon. war is truly over #and of course rori bc the shamelessness u show when hating on my anon asks has been genuinely really cathartic #sometimes u really do just need a rottweiler mutual to tell random people online to kill themselves 😭 #okay weird oscar acceptance speechcore gratitude over. i do just rlly love my mutuals #like i went three years not telling anyone about the worse side of internet popularity for fear of looking spoiled and ungrateful #so for the first time to open up about it and be met with outrage on my behalf and people saying in fact it's MORE fucked up #than i initially realised bc ive grown desensitised to it is. yeah cathartic i guess #they are singlehandedly reassuring me of the good this cursed app still holds #so everyone thank them and send them flowers NOW #okay im done i think. see you guys soon. i truly do want to come back asap bc like i said i NEVER EVEN WANTED TO FUCKING LEAVE #SOME ASSHOLES JUST HAD TO PUT GRENADES ON WHAT I ASSUMED WERE VERY UNIVERSAL AND OBVIOUS BOUNDARIES #if you're reading this like 'ohhh fuck i defo sent something invasive lately. i thought it was a joke/we were friends' #then 1) we arent friends if you're on anon. it immediately creates a power imbalance where you know me and any necessary context #but i have no idea who you are or how much you know about me. that's already a fucked dynamic #and 2) I HOPE YOU FEEL BAD. LIKE GENUINELY I HOPE YOU FEEL AWFUL AND HAVE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOURSELF #okay i think that's all. ta-ra lads??? how tf do u end something like this #ive queued this to reblog a couple more times throughout the day

For the first time throughout RnS, I have slightly shifted my opinion from "Tanguish needs to be protected at all costs" to "actually someone needs to talk some sense into this headless chicken of a self preserving punk" and I mean this with so much positivity. I live Tanguish as character a lot because he at a glance is harmless and kind, and while he is pretty sweet, he's also pretty self serving at his core. A survivalist who will use whatever tactics he can to make his life as comfortable as seems feasible. He's just a little guy whom I love, but also needs a bit of insight into other perspectives and I'm so excited for the next chapter.

He's just a little guy! He's just a little guy and he needs people! Needs-- like he needs-- like it's a problem he needs people.

But you're absolutely right! He is trying his best, that's evident. Everyone can sympathize with the idea of loneliness, and of not wanting other people to hurt themselves, and of needing companionship. The issue is when his need for companionship overrides both his ability to be comfortable alone, and everyone else's ability to live their own life. He's really good at figuring out how people work, why they do the stuff they do, and right now he's using it to feed his codependency problems.

But! He's learning.

#answering asks #anonymous #thank you anon #the plot point of 'how do i teach Tanguish codependency is bad and he cant just replace Tango with HK' #has fueled 90% of my rewriting last chapter #as well as how do i justify Helsknight not flying off the handle and punching his poor little face #the answer turned into: put them both in public and Let Them Fight [kaiju music plays] #and then Martyn appeared and i was like. hey wait. i can use you very well i think... #and now i think i know how the next chapters are going #its a hard balance ive been trying to strike keeping everyone in character while still driving the plot forward #we wobbled on the tightrope a bit but were fine now i think #[knocks on wood crossess all my fingers etc etc etc] #rns asks

Hello snitch number... honestly, I have no idea. Let's go with number 9, I like 9. Anyway, Legend, I have some information for you. In our world we are a total of 8 billion people (more or less) That is, 8000000000000. But don't worry, not everyone is interested in your adventures. Although being so many, even if only 0.001% of us are snitchs, that makes a total of 80000000 snitchs, that is, 80 million of us. So... good luck sleeping tonight.

Legend: Hey Four?

Four: Yeah?

Legend: Can I have some of that caffeinated sludge you drink when on your nerdy binges? And don't say it's coffee, that shit is nowhere near it.

Four: They aren't nerdy binges, sure, and why?

Legend: If I'm not sleeping tonight, might as well makes sure I'm alert for when the Snitches come knocking.

Four: A responsible teammate would tell you hell no and force you to sleep tonight...

Four: Eh, knock yourself out. Or in this case, become incapable of it.

[kleinv01]

a lil' psa? since i've been getting a lot of them in my inbox despite my pinned,

please do NOT send in hyper specific scenarios and explicitly sexual questions in the ask box , i won't answer them ^ ^;; if you want to be down bad by all means go wild i am not gonna stop you !! i m sorry but please go ahead to the discord server here instead where there is a nsfw section, where you can talk about it with other people. i may not actively engage in sexual discussions regarding the characters in the game, but as an adult you are free to do so , and i might even entertain some nsfw hcs /?? on occasions.

whether or not this game will include sexual content will remain heavily tentative. smut has never been my forte, and i'm not exactly comfortable in writing them myself, though, like i said- i do not discourage them !! i don't mind seeing people make nsfw works of the game characters itself :3 just make sure to tag it properly! i know this is a bit of a weird boundary, but i hope this is understandable regardless ;;

#://general_updates. #most of these r anon as well ;; #so i will be turning them off sporadically from now on
