#but we'll see if I ever get around to it

[catsharky]

It looks like her horns are much bugger and more devil like than tiefling naturally. Would her horns grow back to that shape if sue let them, or is it more like docking a tail and permanent? Would she become more comfortable with her original horns being around tieflings more if they could grow back? Why did she trim them initially?

Ehehe I'm glad you caught that, cause yeah you're right her horns are very much meant to be more devil than tiefling!

I figured if a devil is going to screw someone over by giving them a stolen child, why wouldn't they aim to pick one who would bring as much chaos and misery to that person as possible? Ember has no idea who her bio parents are, but she's definitely no ordinary Tiefling.

I put the rest under a read more because it got a bit long:

To try and kind of match the other companions, I wanted her to have the capacity to be incredibly powerful, but limited for game/story reasons. So for Ember, at least one of her parents is someone Powerful and Important in the hells, and that parent is where her sorcery comes from.

It means she's capable of crazy strong magic (like, on par with Gale before he got nerfed strong) but a combination of being self-taught and a lack of motivation means that she's never had a reason to find out what she's actually capable of. She also grew up very isolated, so until she met Gale she was under the impression that magic was just like that for everyone. And tied to all that, one of the most obvious tells that there's something else going on with her is her horns.

I like to think that for most Tieflings, their horns do grow throughout their lives, but hit what's considered 'full sized' by around puberty- at which point the growth slows to a crawl. I also have to assume based on Karlach's broken horn that if the horn breaks? It's gone for good, though they will still maintain that slow growth so long as the core at the base of the horn remains intact.

For Ember however, her horns are just enormous. At age 4 it's expected a Tiefling will have started growing their horns but that they'll still be blunt, nubby things like a baby goat. Ember's were the size they are in the age chart, and continued to grow even larger as she got older.

She likely would have trimmed them no matter what, because not being used to having horns in the first place made dealing with them frustrating, but they're really just unreasonably huge. She trims them down pretty much as far as she comfortably can, the blue tips being where the darker outer layers were cut away.

To her annoyance, they also grow back and do so remarkably fast, which is where the jewelry she has wrapped around them comes from. Those gold embellishments are actually enchanted so they'll stay the size she wants them! (They also keep them from catching on fire when her emotions are high, but that's a whole other thing) So she could actually let them grow back to their full size if she wanted to, she just doesn't because they'd be way too unwieldy and annoying to deal with.

And while I can see some of this stuff becoming relevant after the events of the game, for the duration of BG3's plot this is all just more or less flavour text. The magic stuff is the only part that would have a notable impact.

Also fun fact, this whole part of her backstory is just because I needed an excuse to make her immortal. I didn't have the strength to give Astarion a companion who he'd have to lose in less than 100 years. My heart can't take that 😭 So fuck it, she's the daughter of some big powerful demon or whatever so Astarion can have one nice thing that won't be taken from him!!!

Kai expressions I really like in the rising manga (and most of it is just him being extremely disappointed)

#beyblade #bakuten shoot beyblade #beyblade rising #kai hiwatari #comet's rambles #comet's posts #the closest we'll ever get to seeing takao losing his mind is to hear kai ramble about his future plans #honestly same #rei's brain went into cat mode in the last pic #also a embarrassed kai is cute #and I like how he's more relaxed around everyone in the manga universe while still maintaining the sassy-tough-guy attitude #even though by now everyone pretty much knows he's just an angry kitten

[kohanatrustme]

A character, with dark wavy hair, considered beautiful by everyone, doesn't speak much, can be quite sassy when he decides to talk, which doesn't happen very often, has a chatty sidekick, is very good with a sword and tries to do the right thing even if it isn't right by everyone's standards.

I'm starting to think about mixing Lies of P with Vampire Hunter D.

#don't mind me #just thinking #i love both #but i didn't realise how close the characters were #i wonder if P might like D #or if D would help Krat #can i switch the characters around? #Have Romeo kidnap Carlo #P is D and is trying to get Carlo back #because Gepetto sent him ? #I didn't need another AU to work on #i'm writing #adding this to the drafts anyway #we'll see if i ever do something with it #lies of p #vampire hunter d

As mentioned in the tags/comments of this post, some headcanons on Kendall, Nate, and Shiv (but mostly Shiv) beneath the cut:

Warning for a slightly long list of bullets.

I tend to think Ken and Nate met first, while Ken was at Waystar Shanghai and Nate worked either at the U.S. embassy or had some kind of foreign policy fellowship. The friendship carried over when they both came back to the U.S.

Below is how I imagine Nate and Shiv may have started up the fist time around (in hybrid headcanon/fic/bullet point fashion):

Shiv and Nate meet at a bar

It starts when Kendall offers to set up an intro to “help her get her footing” in DC

Like she needs that

God, her brother’s an ass

She says no of course and thinks that will be the end of it

But she only gets 3 weeks of peace before Kendall’s bothering her again

He lets her know he’ll be in town, running errands for dad

He says they should grab drinks and catch-up

She throws him a bone, agrees and picks a bar

When she gets there, Ken’s already a few deep, another man’s arm resting casually on his shoulder

When she makes her way over, Kendall introduces the guy as Nate

Yes, that Nate

And she can’t help but feel one part ambushed and two parts pissed – like she’s being third-wheeled at her own fucking family reunion

Almost unbidden, she wonders if this is a play, if there's something here she needs to navigate

But the echo of old instincts passes as she settles into the situation

And somehow, after an hour and a half of drinking, Ken’s bumming a cig (or something harder), Nate is shamelessly flirting with her, and she can barely remember why she was so hesitant to meet this guy

Seeing Nate up close and personal, she’s starting to understand his value

Nate is, as some would say, not unattractive

Plus he’s kind of a little charming

But equally important, he’s Kendall’s

And she’d be lying if there isn’t something in that

She remembers being 9 and having butterflies in her stomach on the rare occasions Kendall brough Stewy home from school

She remembers being 10 and realizing nothing she did would ever matter to him because he only really cared about Kendall

Dormant acid prickles at the edges of her memory

So she thinks, fuck it, and starts to flirt back

They almost fuck in the bathroom before her paranoia gets the better of her

When Kendall gets back from who knows where doing who knows what, he’s none the wiser

Shiv calls it a night shortly after

Nate comes over at 3:20am

They make it 4 months before Kendall finds out

He promptly gives her a call, every word edged in a small snap

A part of her loves it

She brushes him off, because her life has never been his business anyway, least of all now

But they make plans to meet up next week anyway, when he’ll be back in town   

This time, it’s her who brings the surprise guest

Nate is at her side as Kendall enters the crowded bar, Nate's hand drifting down from her waist to skim the top of her ass

Ken makes a face, but pretends to be unphased

As if he isn’t the worst liar she’s ever met

And fine, she’ll admit it, in this moment Nate feels like a victory

There’s something that feels like winning about taking one of Kendall’s friends for herself

And sure she likes him, and sure there are other reasons to keep doing…whatever they’re doing

But this, winning, this is part of it

She doesn’t quite catch that Nate seems to be figuring that out too

He moves his hand

#while I don't think the Kendall of it all was a big part of shivnate I do think it played some part in things for Shiv #also I kind of live for Shiv making decisions as a result of her insane competitiveness #aggressive tennis teen Shiv is one of those silly things that lives in my head rent free #I also have a fic bulleted out about Shiv's short-lived crush on Stewy #her fury at realizing he's not only not interested but only around for Kendall #and her subsequent revenge on Ralph the stuffed raccoon #we'll see if I ever get around to writing it haha #shiv roy #kendall roy #nate sofrelli #hbo succession #succession headcanons #shivnate

[chipistrate]

After watching the entirety of the DLC, i'm so confused lmao.

Basically how I think it ended

#Chip Chatter #I'm not *entirely* sold on the idea that it wasn't Gregory that shut down the elevator- #but I'm also not entirely convinced that it *was* him #I think both interpretations are really fun to mess around with<3 #figures- I'm a Six LN fan through and through I've defended characters for this before and I'll do it again god damn it #people just don't understand them like I do......... #Ruin spoilers #fnaf sb ruin spoilers #Fnaf ruin spoilers #fnaf spoilers #I kinda wish we'd gotten more PQ stuff since this takes place after the PQ ending- I've got SO many questions about how PQ3 ended #but hey #the story of the Pizzaplex isn't over just yet #so I guess we'll just have to wait n see where this goes<3 #also god damn I gotta get better at drawing Cassie..... love her forever and ever I must draw her all the time #also no- I will never stop drawing Gregory with the stealth hoodie #I love the stealth hoodie and he deserves to wear it more #he's a stealthy little guy

wawawawawa been going insane over this art of converted fuuta... I've really wanted to do a piece like it but haven't had any drawing juice lately. It fucks though 👍

#not maintagging because amane is already on thin ice and i dont want to introduce any guilty propaganda into the tag asdfgg #cult!fuuta would make me so sad but its worth the cost of inno amane and also #i am not immune to my faves Getting Worse #ive wanted to draw him with the spiral eyes but we'll see when i ever get around to it #*eye ;-; #rose rambles

I can't seem to stop starting new playthroughs

so here's Phyridia/Phyr "I also slept with a god and have a city for a last name Gale, you're not that fucking special" of Warford, an actual DnD character I've played for a while

#oc: phyr #just to get some shots I played like five minutes and I'm honestly rolling unsettlingly well on her so far #when Iona hadn't rolled above a 10 in the entire prologue she's rolling like.... consistently above 15????? #has attacked twice; crit once and got max damage the other time #she does NOT fuck around #part of the story is that she had a very odd and very toxic and manipulative situationship with the avatar of Hoar #basically are you ever so doomed by your narrative that the very god of vengeance goes daaaaaaamn #squirrel plays bg3 #or better yet have you ever been so haunted that you peg a gaunt-looking bleeding guy and get magic powers from it #a warlock might suit her too but she's currently an oath of vengeance paladin #we'll see how long that oath lasts

THIS SUCKS!!!!

#SORRY I HAD TO GET THIS OUT OF MY SYSTEM #she's not gone yet but. very soon. #if i had to guess i would say sometime during the night or tomorrow. very very soon. #ive already said all my goodbyes and we sang around her bedside one last time and i think im as ready for it as ill ever be #but that being said. how the fuck do u get ready for your mom to die. #but it's not all bad. #my aunt was sitting by me while we sat at my mom's bedside and just shared stories between singing #and she wiped the tears off my face and traced my veins and held my hand while we both cuddled my dog #and idk. im the black sheep of the family but that doesn't mean i'm not part of it. even when shit sucks. #and these last couple months have been rough because first i lost my friend suddenly and now the thing we've been waiting for #for 3 years is finally happening #and idk. in a way i'm glad it's happening because i won't have to watch her suffer anymore. and in a way i won't suffer either. #just kinda ripping the bandaid off yk. #anyway i am contemplative and mostly at peace this fine night. we'll see what the morning brings. #winter speaks #personal #grief tag
