the baldur's gate 3 experience when you accidentally trigger an unintentional romance because you thought you were just being a really supportive friend

#rbs turned off bc ppl kept being annoying. be normal abt this game or die by my sword. #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #shoutout to anyone who had to turn down more than one companion & they got really sad abt it #EDIT: this was always about karlach for me. went to talk to her & was met with the 'i want to be with gale' option #without ever triggering a romance scene bc i hugged her like any regular friend would

thinking about how the greens are so conquerors-coded. obviously aegon ii has those parallels to aegon i, a terrible legacy and expectation of fire and blood, but helaena also has parallels with rhaenys as a queen who’s considered a softer counterpart to her husband and beloved by the smallfolk.

then there’s aemond. possibly the most visenya-coded targ since the woman herself. he has her dragon, her penchant for war crimes, her commitment to her duty, potentially also her black magic depending on what the truth of his relationship with alys is — but i think the way he’s most like visenya is in his relationship with his siblings, especially aegon. he really is aegon’s visenya — his sullen, sometimes disagreeable protector. his sword will always fall on aegon’s side. he saves him at rook’s rest, rules the country in his stead and doesn’t try to take it, eventually dies trying to secure his crown. say what you will about aegon and aemond’s relationship, i think at the heart of it he has visenya-like devotion and duty.

#hotd #greens <3 #aemond targaryen #aegon ii targaryen #f&b #side note: this might be the reason why i’m rabidly obsessed with aemond getting dark sister #it would be so fitting #in any au where aemond survives the gods eye i think he should get dark sister #it would be so thematically satisfying for him to get visenya’s sword #by doing what visenya did - fighting for her aegon to unreasonable degrees #and a key part of the visenya/aegon relationship is that it isn’t always pleasant #but the loyalty is always there #which i think is also true of aemond and aegon #they fight all the time #but aemond would kill and die for aegon without hesitation

More One Piece x Animaniacs nonsense.

Warneroa Wakko with his... unique... three sword style.

#my art #animaniacs #Yakko warner #wakko warner #dot warner #warner piece #warneroa wakko #his goal is to have the strongest stomach in the world #literally the only reason I made him Zoro was for the sword swallowing bit LMAO #it was too funny #I can practically HEAR him say #“Well it said he put the third sword in his mouth how else was I supposed to interoperate that?” #now I'm conflicted on Dot... do I make her nami or Robin? #Or someone else entirely #nami makes more sense but Robin's powers are cool #but if I make her nami her name would be dotti and I don't wanna die

why must everything that the text clearly states atp be misconstrued like i really dont get it he has plenty of flaws in that relationship but we, and cersei, know that he was ready to kill robert for just the disrespect of the cheating if cersei said the word. he doesnt concern himself with the personal consequences, he is reckless, detached from a lot of things, and can close his eyes at the future if he doesn’t want to acknowledge it. also the concern over the “shame” and ned type judgement feels so overestimated to me atp. he never regrets aerys, he is mad at how he is perceived (but again, notably doesnt try to rectify it by telling the truth for a lot of complex reasons), but he would never take it back. if he believes its the right thing to do, and is not overdosing on copium trying to juggle vows he cares about, he will do it, reputation be damned. though he has selfish concerns regarding being viewed as good, the internal matters so much more than the external: see weirwood dream: who actually shows up? what makes the fire go out? “it was not him. it was never him”, see the trebuchet fiasco, see the choice in adwd. why shouldnt we take cersei at face value when she implies that if jaime knew about the physical abuse he would have killed him? he loves and cares about cersei to an insane degree, even if he can be selfish toxic and unhealthy too. i really find it very very difficult to imagine that he wouldnt have killed him based on almost every single part of his characterization.

#ik its better to reply than to do this but i dont use my twitter for fandom and i keep seeing this general sentiment over and over again #like it makes him so inconsistent and nonsensical #i don’t understand this whole jaime was never there for cersei prehandloss he was at her disposal for almost everything he would have maimed #a child just bc she asked like what??? #u think that wouldnt have shamed him?? #he gave up almost everything for her at 15 #and im gonna be real if u r frustrated by jaime burning the letter being framed as this grand triumphant redemptive choice #by people #which i get i dont think its framed like that either #its just as unfair to treat it as the opposite #it is the end of a certain delusion #which is why the joanna dream is the focal point #and #he can divorce himself he has no obligation to die to try save her atp #and remain her sword #i dont see him as the literal devil for that sorry #i feel like some of u feel the need to misconstrue his character to make some of these choices out to be as bad as possible

Do you rant to your girlfriend about how a giant pet peeve of yours with Gideon the Ninth fanart is when they portray Gideon with a longsword (or worse yet a fucking arming sword) instead of the greatsword she clearly is trained for? Or are you normal?

#ill accept rapier fanart cuz yknow. plot #tamsym literally acknowledges a friend trained in zweihander technique in the book y'all #gideon uses a fucking zwei and i will die on this hill #i saw art of her wield a shortsword in two hands and started going feral #it was really pretty art otherwise but my sword lesbian heart was dying inside #“stop blocking with the blade” hema technique for longsword is more parry focused while greatsword technique is more blocking focused #im normal and fine its fine #bite me #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #gideon nav #tlt #harrow the ninth

Losing my mind over how the Wittebane brothers were orphans who only had each other, just like Camilla and Luz only had each other after Manny’s death. How the brothers were forced to assimilate as witchhunters to make a home in Gravesfield, just as Camilla was pressured to assimilate after she was bullied as a kid. How she’s so obviously self-conscious over her special interests even decades later. How the school brought up her past as a way to convince her to assimilate Luz, believing it’s in her best interest.

How Caleb found a place where he could be himself, and even after Philip learns that his brother is happy and safe in the Demon Realm, he tries to bring his brother home, believing it’s what is best for him. And in doing so he loses Caleb forever.

How Camilla learns that Luz also found a place where she can be herself, and when Luz decides to give it up, Camilla prioritizes her daughter’s happiness over her own fear, and they walk into the portal door together. As a family.

Honestly could we throw out the idea that totk's story issue is that it isn't consistent with the lore of the older games but instead drops intresting world building from botw because it might have gotten actually dark

#seriously eveeyone keeps up bring up the triforce not being the same like the older games instead of HEY why DOES the royal family just..... #have it #like all of it #and was the sheikah tech from the last game that functions the same was as light arrows/the biden blast was uh #how do i put this #how did they weaponize lightmagic in robots and does this all tie in with the “banishment” thing #or idk dropped point from botw zelda's fucking chracter arc #i know it ended with LOOOK!!!! YOU FUCKED UP BY DOING WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS RIGHT #But damn they could of just not done that shit in totk making her just the #what was jt #idk man they just keep taking away her agency #man and it sucks cuz the dragon is so cool but mf shes forced to do it what she gonna do stay in the past and DIE? #idk man it just all feels hasty. makes me sad #and it sucks cuz a lot of shit shit is really cool and intresting but man idk i may become a botw zelda deserved a better weiter for her #becuase girl she needs a break. not saying chracters cant go through hardship #but there is something so nasty about the framing of youll never be anything but eveey past princess zelda trope and nothing more #instead of a crystal she turns into a dragon like guys this is the same as skyward sword but idk man is it werd to say #when Hylia does it aginst a thing that wants to steal the god triangles and is also a god its like yeah you had no other choice #how the fuck did one fuckass stone make ganondorf into a god like being you would think that like #mannwhy are the stones THAT powerful and why werent the other bitches able to take them down what because #did #did rauru give sonia the equivalent of the one ring at their wedding hey wait a fuck #sorry for all my spelling mistakes but what the fuck man

"You were not my first love, Stoick the Vast," said Valhallarama. "But you are my last..."

Stoick's tired eyes lit up. And then Valhallarama grinned, just like she must have grinned once, when she was a wild little girl.

i am BEGGING for more context on dima biting strahd back and how he reacted.

Oh, badly!

So, what happened was that Strahd took the form of one of our allies and lured Dima into the woods. He was more or less just getting information off of her (and, as I understand, was proooobably going to cast Modify Memory on her?) until something felt off, and Dima accused him of not being the ally, but someone else. He revealed himself and approached her as she backed away until she was up against the side of a rock.

She stabbed him through the heart. He kept moving along the blade until he was at the hilt of the sword and was right up in her face. I went into a fear-induced fugue state at that point, but he bit her as recompense for the stab.

This was the second time she'd been bitten by Strahd, so Dima yanked his head back and sank her teeth into him instead. The sword is still in him.

He was. Well. Surprised. And I think slightly amused, because he pulled her sword out, drained her nearly to death, and then took it with him. So, until last session, I was TWO SWORDS DOWN because he had taken both of them.

Dima told him she hated him, he told her something to the effect of "Better to occupy your mind than not at all" and fucked right off.

#i ended up being saved by van richten's cleric spells of wonder #I think it was the coolest move I've ever done in dnd but the whole time i was like stone-faced staring at my dm #i was so sure i was going to die. #and i almost did so it wasn't unwarranted #if i get bitten a third time #i think dima is like dead-dead #he also kissed her while being impaled by the sword so that was. a choice by strahd certainly. #so yeah our campaign is going evilly thank you so so much for asking and I'm sorry this took me so long #cos: the sorority #cos: demetria #curse of strahd pc #curse of strahd

Once again I am screaming and crawling up the walls like Evil Dead over the fact that all the electricons grabbed onto Mare in Harbor Bay when she saw Cal’s body and the healer trying to resuscitate him.

Like everyone around her (except for her) knew her dumb ass was so in love with him that if he died she was going to go off like a fucking bomb and kill all of them and to avoid that they literally were fully prepared to either knock her out with their own ability or contain hers as much as possible.

Which just leads me to believe that if he had died, like if the healer had failed and he had died on the sand Mare would have turned immediately to Iris’s war ship and we would have gotten the duel of the fucking century. Because Iris would have been fighting to just survive and Mare would have been blindly fighting to kill at all costs in as painful of a manner as possible. And she would have taken so many lakelanders and nortian soldiers with her. So tbh, if Dane/the Scarlet Guard was smart, they would have let Cal die in that moment and they could have ended the whole thing in Harbor Bay.

#Just thoughts #red queen #glass sword #kings cage #war storm #war storm spoilers #mare barrow #listen she would have gone full OP boss mode #like... the choir version of her theme playing in the background as she goes after Iris OP boss mode #boss room music would have started playing #and Iris would have started sweating #you cannot deny it #I just think it's neat that her rage would have been fueled by Cal's death #like it's just so them #Cal: I would die for you #mare: I would kill for you #like that is their relationship in a nut shell #I think about this moment all the time #like I can see it on a screen in my mind #like silence with just Mare's heartbeat as she slowly sinks to her knees with the electricons just out of focus behind her grabbing on #and then all the sound comes back right after we see Cal inhale but the sound is Mare's inhale #its a jarring change from peaceful silence of Mare's slow and steady heartbeat as she watches the healer try to resuscitate him to SOUND #there can be muffled sounds around her while she watching #as a treat #I just think film is neat #it's my film degree speaking right there

These two scenes are so similar (S1E18, S2E8):

Both Jang Uk (S1) and Go Won (S2) walk right towards the same sword. They are both at a severe disadvantage and could be killed by the person who wields it. They both trust that the incredibly dangerous, ominous figure they are facing will lower their sword. Almost everyone else considers that person a monster. And both times they are right, the sword is lowered.

#Unfortunately we didn't get smooches after this in S2 #alchemy of souls #jang uk #naksu #mu deok #go won #my best boy the crown prince #parallels #I think Go Won was about 30% sure he was going to die #Jang Uk was probably far more confident in his ability to make her drop the sword #the same sword
