#characters are evil and its cool

[bittersweetyrn]

big fan of essek thelyss, not the fanon interpretation, which is either "smol bean, tiny fragile elf who's a sweetheart and basically a child" or people mistakenly calling betrayal of one's home country a "war crime" and then proceeding to be flippant about it anyway, but the real Essek

pretentious motherfucker that committed treason bc he though he was smarter than everyone else

learned to float literally just to impress other rich people

canonically neutral evil

basically head spymaster of his country and master of lies but sucks shit lying to his friends

stayed bitchy even after his redemption arc

"there is nothing I would love more than to not be around you all for the remainder of this day"

a space wizard that crushed someone with telekenesis just to show off (the person was already dying)

sexy feet, nice ass, overall hottie

fell in love with a traumatized wizard of his enemy country and it was mutual despite all the betrayal

faggot

gave away state secrets to enemy wizard bc he though he was sexy

discovered time travel with his boyfriend

proceeded to say they shouldn't use time travel (bc now he's a good boy) but was willing to sacrifice everything and help if his bf wanted to use it

once confessed he had such a bad fight with his dad that his dad ran into the demon caves and never returned (essek doesn't feel bad about this at all)

young for an elf but still 120 years old, he called his bf "young man" and flexed on him about how much more evil he is

#anytime I imagine him stealing the beacons its set to the music from Sinbad where eris steals the book of peace #the way people say “he's basically a teenager!” to excuse his actual evil acts #characters are evil and its cool #very much “my guy didn't do that! he did a bunch of other shit tho” #he is all these cool things yet unfortunately the dice were never on his side 😔 #I only have the most correct opinions on essek #I literally don't even critrole anymore but he is my bitch ass wife #critical role #essek thelyss #essik theylas #ask me abt my fic series “I sensed we loved each other without knowing”

I feel like the fandom needs to be reminded that in RP characters who haven't interacted a lot with federation workers don't know that the federation workers are in a bad situation and have their own emotions. That it actually makes sense for most characters to assume that federation workers are emotionless or malicious in a similar way to Cucurucho.

Like if the majority of your interaction with the federation has been through Cucurucho or guards gunning you down ofc you assume all federation employees are similar?

Even if you say interacted with Walter Bob a bit after his makeover he is visibly different than the other federation workers who all look like they belong to some sort of hivemind or are robots / some sort of non-human entities. So you might rationalize him as an exception.

Idk I'm just tired of people being like ohhh hurting the employees is unjustified how dare they make this decision. These are workers of an evil organization that have been hurting the islanders for months. So no I don't think it's unjustified for them to assume that the workers are guilty, or to not immediately suspect the workers of being in a similarly bad situation. In fact it would be unreasonable for them to immediately treat every worker they find well.

#qsmp #qsmp discourse #I guess #fandom stuff #it just annoys me that so many people give characters shit for hurting workers #like idk I think its fair for the characters to assume workers of an evil organization might also be evil! #not everyone has information about what working conditions are like in the federation! #I'm not saying that its cool and good that people hurt federation workers I just think treating them like customer service workers or such #is disingenuous

negaverse ur ocs RIGHT NOW !!!!! it's so fun

#its so funny the difference a pen can make... these r all sketches but 2 r SO much neater #THE NEGAVERSE IS SUCH A FUN CONCEPT !!! like its the opposite but not.. cuz the characters still hold parts of their prime personalities #nega carlo and nega miss demeanor (miss behaviour) got their personalities swapped #nega tom (captain r. scallion) is now a PIRATE and he loves fun and parties #and cuz tom foolery is neutral coded but more towardz the villain side - capt. r. scallion is neutral towardz the good side !! #both their negaverse and primeverse counterparts still like causing mischief #nega peer pressure is still cool but in the opposite way.. and he probably speaks like a psa evil guy that deals drugs to kids #protagonist ocs #negaverse #darkwing duck #oc #dwd #original character #peer pressure #miss demeanor #miss behaviour #carlo poodle #nega carlo #tom foolery #captain r. scallion

i keep thinking about the one line dark justiciar shadowheart says when shar returns all her memories right before she kills her parents

and u can be like, do what u think is right!! (even though u probably picked all the worst options for the nightsong to die)

and she

she acknowledges and is aware of how messed up her whole situation is but shes in too deep to stop!!!!!

and im

ooOOOUUUUGGGHHHHH

#bg3 spoilers #THE SELF LOATHING!!!!!!! #anyways then she loses all her memories again and has a grand evil shar time #but i like to imagine that deep sense of unease whenever she even thinks too hard about those huge gaps in her memories #which ofc dark shart will cope with by simply not thinking about it and following her faith #BUT BUT BUT shes still the same person with the very charitable reading of shar's doctrine #so naturally those deep seated misgivings will never go away #probably #my brainworms wont free me #im also just thinking how cool it wouldve been to have gotten this scene with a genuininely good character #but its most likely u get it on the murderhobo runs.. #can i just say if i were shadowheart it doesnt even make any sense not to stab the aasimar #like shes just goading her and shittalking her the whole time?? #AT LEAST TELL HER ABOUT HER PARENTS FIRST?? #also that scene is the only time she will actually acknowledge herself as jenevelle to her parents... #when she screams shes not jenevelle its not bc she believes it but more like she wants it to be true #mmm the angst...

was figuring out a design for qphil and he and bbh not showing their faces* has spawned a series of headcanons in my brain

*in my designs of phil and bbh specifically

#for anyone interested the headcanons are as follows: #1. the title “angel of death” is exactly that: a title. phil isnt *technically* an angel; hes just married to the goddess of death (kristin) #-and she granted him immortality #2. a hc ive seen for qbad is that he IS actually the grim reaper and i like that hc a lot #-and that would automatically associate him with kristin as well. it would also make the angelic And demonic features i draw him with #-make more sense as death itself isnt something thats good or evil; its just Death. #3. ive decided characters closely associated with the goddess of death tend to hide their faces (including kristin *herself*) #why? idk yet. but i think its cool. #qsmp #qsmp philza #qsmp fanart #philza #my art

*sits up in the middle of the night* in this next universe where vampires seem to have taken over the world, marceline probably either never met simon or he died soon after they met, which means that since her mom also died when she was really young (too young to remember a lot about her i bet), she most likely raised herself completely alone through the apocalypse and never really learned about Morals which is how after getting bitten she joined the vampires and, became evil i guess. we see that even with simons good influence in her formative years she went through a rough path after getting bitten so it would make sense that shed turn out nasty if it wasnt for him. she is part demon. we just saw an universe where simon lost marcy and was fucked up and now we're gonna see one where marcy lost simon and became fucked up

#thinking about the flashback in the ep simon petrikov where hes like #''youd be fine if you didnt meet me better even. as for me...'' #itd be so so cool if the show showed us that actually she Wouldnt be fine. they both needed each other to keep their sanity and morals #during the apocalypse #like itd be neat #this isnt me saying marceline is naturally an evil person shes literally my favorite character im just saying that like #if ur a child in a post apocalyptic landscape that didnt have anyone to teach you what morals are #aside from ur mom who died when u were like 5 #youd probably turn out a bit fucked up too. like look at bonnie lol #im jusy using ''evil'' as a descriptive bc its easier and also we havebt actually seen this marcy so i cant speak much on her personality #but at characters arent usually that 2d #also we literally see simon being the one to teach marceline morals. Vandalism Is Wrong Marcy #and we see her having demon instincts- the wazzup dog in obsidian #i always thought that demon and vampire prolly didnt mix up well and she had to work a Lot to get to the level of stability and ethics that #she is now #so im excited to see a world where she had no reason to work on that skfhsjfhejfhejf #ok im rambling. its 3am and i have to be up in 2 hours help me #adventure time #fionna and cake #watch me be completely wrong when the ep comes out #but thats just a theory... a cartoon theory

In my opinion if you’re making a “dark, realistic superhero” work, you should always hold some kind of love for the superhero genre, and if you don’t there is no reason to make it. You’re not going to enjoy your characters or have fun twisting the tropes. You’re just gonna have a bad time writing and make something that nobody enjoys.

*cough* The Boys comic *cough*

#aaronymous ramblings #superheroes #superhero #comic #comics #also i havent read watchmen yet but in one of the summaries i watched #i did enjoy how two characters just. #recognize being superheroes isnt very helpful or great but that its dangerous and fun and its okay to have fun #like a lot of superhero fiction isnt meant to be taken seriously and its just lighthearted fun and thats awesome #I do really like The Boys show though by the way #Also the only other one of this genre I’ve seen is Invincible and it’s good but tbh kinda overrated #and I havent read the comics but it doesnt even feel like a critique its more just what if superman was an evil space facist #and thats cool i just really dont think it should be lumped in with Watchmen or The Boys #but that might just be me

[forcedhesitation]

the end of wyll's quest is....interesting. it was VERY cool. I thought having the archetypal fairy tale prince go "slay the dragon" was a fitting ending, I just feel like it was....a little underwhelming in some ways.

more under cut

first and foremost- I wish that it was not possible for your tav/durge to converse with ansur. I wish that it automatically selected wyll, because I simply do not think that this entire scene has as much impact if it is not wyll at the forefront of everything. which is why I also have to complain about the emperor here.

the reveal that he is balduran is.... well. I knew about this already, through accidental spoilers. Initially, I thought it was a stupid reveal. but reframing the reveal in the context of a fairy tale...well it makes perfect sense. it just FEELS a bit underwhelming and strange, because your player character is not wyll. this entire area feels like it was written with an avatar wyll in mind. and I wish that there were changes made to the companion wyll version of the game that made up for this. wyll is a character who is hugely tied to the main plot by virtue of being the duke's son. he spends the game searching for his father, while trying to deal with both mizora and the absolute. mizora is the one he sold his soul to to save the city before, the reason he was cast out. the absolute wants to destroy and steal his city. and ansur, a legendary dragon, might be his way of saving the city and getting his father's approval back. ansur had wanted to kill balduran because balduran had been infected with a mindflayer parasite, but had embraced his illithid nature rather than rejected it. I feel like there's some parallel that can be made to wyll there. in that he was othered, like balduran was, because he accepted mizora's help. ansur condemned balduran because ansur is a bronze dragon and therefore lawful good. wyll's father exiles wyll because wyll was "at best a fool, at worst a traitor," in his father's eyes and his father tolerated neither. wyll & balduran are both victims of the inflexible nature those of lawful good alignments have. they are both seen as monsters for what happened to their bodies. I wish that was emphasised a little more. like autoselecting wyll for the ansur dialogue & giving him dialogue with the emperor would have made this ending feel a little more complete, in my opinion. and it would have better demonstrated the point of having the emperor even be balduran. because that's such a fairy tale thing, the stuff of real legend! for the hero's mysterious guide to actually be some great old hero thought to be long dead. and I do think it works. it just doesn't feel as impactful if wyll is not your avatar.

I also wish this area was overall bigger & more developed. I know they redid wyll's character from EA. I know they had less time. I just. I wish that this area was as detailed as the sharran temple in act 2. it feels like SUCH a big deal, it feels like it should be bigger. especially since at lvl 12, you're just. unkillable.

but the dialogue afterwards, where he says he's in the mood for celebration and wants to make a celebratory dinner? SO CUTE!!! that man's joy is contagious!!! I could practically feel him holding back how much he just wanted to jump around with joy. and the sweet little "let's hope gale won't be too upset that I'm cooking for once and not him." I love you. you are too fucking sweet wyll. this fucking city does not deserve you. this playerbase does not deserve you. you are a true gem and I wish people saw you are just as beautiful and interesting as astarion and gale.

a cool possible scene they could add, to given wyll's questline more material IS that dinner he talks about. or preparation for it! something where he asks tav/durge to taste the food beforehand? or where your avatar can ask him about where he learned to cook, prompting him to talk about his time as the blade of frontiers? out in the sword coast on his own? this scene could easily be platonic or romantic, but be given extra options for a romantic relationship. but something like this could truly be added at an earlier point in the game too, it doesn't have to be tied to this particular moment.

but overall really cool area of the game. very cool bossfight. and a rather clever ending to wyll's quest, contrary to what his haters say. I love the commitment to the fairy tale theme. it just needs a bit more. maybe it feels more satisfying if you've romanced him. although I've heard his act 3 romance scene is currently bugged? his unromanced questline is slightly bugged (doesn't rob you of any material, though, it just replayed some dialogue for me). either way, I hope that gets fixed asap. I so badly need to experience this romanced version in my other campaign.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #tldr opinion: it's conceptually an ingenious way of utilising the fairy tale prince trope but its execution is a bit clumsy. #beautiful character though. wow. people seriously do not give this man enough love and appreciation. #also I was expecting the emperor to be worse. people were shitting on him HARD for the reveal. and like. #man he was actually pretty justified in ultimately killing ansur. #ansur was going to kill him because he has that lawful good brain rot that says illithids cannot be anything but monsters. #which is the same argument made against wyll for being part devil. and against astarion for being undead. #the way this game tackles monstrosity and what truly constitutes a monster is very interesting. #and I think it's really cool the way they took ansur's “heroic lawful good” alignment and turned it into a form of evil. #and had wyll- a victim of that same kind of cruel inflexible sense of “justice” be ansur's second slayer. #oh and shart? jaheira said it better.

not me coming up with an entire political atmosphere in the ghost zone for a goddamn haha funny jason/danny fic. i have legit spent 6 hours today on research alone for this bullshit. wtf.

speaking of which if anyone has ideas for some cool ghosts plz let me know :) i will absolutely give credit, cause there's only so many death gods/symbols of death a man can cram into a fic before it starts to sound like a research paper.

i'm already 3k words in and i haven't even gotten to the character that's going to be explaining the politics to danny, brain wHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS--

but yeah if you want to read a snazzy fic that's gonna be one hell of a slowburn, delves into the concepts of what dead people politics would look like, has danny become a sexy heartthrob of a thief, has jason actually get the therapy he needs + the emotional support from his family he riGHTFULLY DESERVES, and ofc (eventual) cute domestic fluff after a wild rollercoaster of enemies to friends to lovers then you should check out my fic <3

(there's only one chapter out but chapter two should be done in like a week or so)

considering theyre not even blood related (much less twins), dio and jonathan do a fantastic job at being like a evil twin vs. good twin kinda story. theyre like dante & vergil or liquid snake & solid snake to me. i want to put dio and vergil and eli in a room just to see what happens

#jojo and snavid and dante also get put in a room but theyre just sitting there awkwardly #theyre all being nice to each other they just have absolutely nothing in common to talk about #jjba #mgs #dmc #anyway im thinking too hard about this. i think speedwagon and otacon and lady could all be oomfs too #theyre buddies. i dont think they have literally anything in common #but i need to see otacon be scared of lady anyway #lady and speedwagon are hangin out they're maybe showing off how they fight #and hal is sitting there like a pathetic wet dog looking at them #actually final trio of characters who i think should hang out: josuke and nero and raiden #theyre like. the nephew type character. i know josuke is technically the uncle here but shush its about vibes #imagining dmc4 nero and mgs2 raiden and obviously part4 josuke thats like. the exact combination i need to see #they all think theyre cool but are actually losers. and they have no idea whats going on #my point here is i need to see them play mario kart or something #OKAY ENOUGH YAPPING!!! projecting my random fictional character oomfisms into your MIND. #muffin mumbles #wait edit. i wish wesker had an evil twin because i want to shove some re characters in here but like there is no dante to weskers vergil #there is no solid snake to weskers liquid snake. there is no jojo to weskers dio #you know? #that being said. would love to see jake muller hang out with the quote unquote ''nephew gang''. dont have a reason beyond its funny

all the bg3 companions have this really well realized conflict between 'want' vs 'need' and it's really cool to see how they get rly nice satisfying arcs with both their 'good' and 'bad' endings

' i just wish the game itself didnt so heavily disincentivise less-good playthroughs by barring you from so much content and making everything you could do so cartoonishly evil it just doesnt make sense

#bg3 spoilers #like as silly as some of the discourse became it was really cool to see the insistence that ascended astarion was a 'good' ending #and honestly all the character writing for the other characters also had that same level of nuance imo #in a different game gale fighting god or shadowheart becoming a dark justiciar would've also counted for a 'positive' ending #but bc the player character themselves can only pick the stupid evil options it makes exploring that stuff feel so much clunkier to me #it would've been cool to do a more morally grey playthrough to have parity w/ the moral greyness ur companions get... #durge is cool but they are also stupid evil bc everything they do is the murderhobo option #they get a better motivation to do those things but its still not the same... #my flavour......... #but im just ranting in the tags bg3 is still the video game ive been wanting my entire life and nothing will change tha #also we dont talk about the lack of any real endings i look away
