astarion, the man who was dying and offered eternal life, but had no idea that it meant becoming a slave to a sadistic master.

astarion, the man who had his freedom and bodily autonomy ripped away from him.

astarion, the man who was forced to befriend, seduce and sleep with people to lure them back to his master, resulting in severe sexual trauma and the struggle to form any sort of intimate relationship.

astarion, the man who was horribly punished whenever he refused his master’s orders (one punishment being sealed away in a dusty tomb, starving, for an entire year. he scratched his hands raw trying to carve his way out).

astarion, the man who was forced to eat rats.

astarion, the man who hasn’t even been able to see his own face since he turned.

astarion, the man who had his body mutilated as cazador carved scars onto his back, which he later found out was to bind him to a ritual.

astarion, the man who is so severely traumatised that he admitted he doesn’t know how to say “no” or ask for help (and he feels guilty when he does).

astarion, the man who was always treated like a monster when all he wanted was to be treated like a person.

astarion, the man who came up to you in the middle of the night just to thank you for defending him and allowing him to make his own decisions.

astarion, the man who said that no one ever looked out for him or showed him kindness, and that you’re the only one. “other people don’t have a heart like you. you’re you. no one is like that.”

astarion, the man who broke the cycle of power and terror that started centuries ago thanks to the love, care and compassion that you showed him when no one else did.

astarion, the man who confessed that he loves you and feels safe with you; something he has never felt with anyone before.

#my darling boy :( #astarion #baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #his backstory and character development make me want to bawl my eyes out #this is why i get so angry when people don’t even try to understand him #and when they reduce him to things he’s not #like do you pay ANY attention to anything he says?? #or do you just stare at him and drool and then continue to sexualise him #sorry if that sounds dramatic but ughhhhhh man #it’s just incredibly annoying #like i don’t know why some people choose to pick up an intense game with really deep characters if they’re not gonna try to understand them #like they weren’t just made for you to treat them like they’re objects #and what gets me is the fact that astarion would HATE how people talk about him #and yes yes i know he’s not real i’m not dumb i am aware!!!!! #but he would absolutely hate it #that flirty sexy vampire image you have of him isn’t even real #it was a mask he wore #he was literally forced into doing those things #even in the game he has a reputation for flirting and sleeping around but that’s not even who he is or what he wants #it’s all an act #and it’s just so sad how everyone reduces him to that when it traumatises him every day #and apparently there’s a scene with raphael where if you haven’t seen astarion’s scars yet -> #raphael basically says he’s surprised astarion has kept his clothes on for this long and then he strips him naked in front of everyone #it’s so horrible and unfair #i just want to hold his hand and hug him tight. he deserves so much better in the game AND in this fandom #tw abuse #tw sa #my posts

I feel like people tend to forget that the reason children are on websites they really shouldn't be on, like Twitter for example, is because there are no spaces on the internet anymore specifically designed for children, unless it's for babies or toddlers.

The death of Flash also meant the death of thousands of games and websites specifically designed for the 9-13 demographic. Now granted, several games died long before Flash did (like the Holy Disney MMO trio - Pixie Hollow, ToonTown and Club Penguin) but there were other websites designed around what kids would enjoy. Sites like Kongregate, Sploder, GirlsGoGames and others were designed with kids in mind.

These sites were special in the sense that it gave fun games for children to play without even really needing to interact with other people directly. They could play the games and have fun. If they wanted to make friends they could, and oftentimes these sites had moderation to prevent kids from having full control over what they could say so as to prevent bullying and potential cyberstalking.

But now Flash is dead, and there's barely any hangout spots for that demographic anymore. I think the last remaining game you can play that doesn't require Flash that was a major part of the 2010s game nostalgia was Wizard101, but that game comes with the flaw of membership programs, similar to all the other MMOs that existed at the time.

Needless to say, the next time we ask in annoyance why there's so many 12 year olds on Twitter and Tik Tok, remember that it's because there's literally no online spaces anymore solely for them and only them, that majority of adults wouldn't step foot into anymore.

#flame talks #internet culture #flash games #Edit : wtf how did this get so many likes and rbs #okay so maybe I should clarify a bit here that yes I am aware that there are still kids spaces online #but basically all the ones that exist now have a membership program #hell even roblox does and a membership isn’t required to play those games #yes ads are annoying af on games but that’s not the point #also yes I am aware that kids will walk into adult spaces online but #that would be less of a problem if there were actual sites designed for kids at all anymore #now all we have is tik tok and that site is more for teens and adults than for kids #literally kids can’t exist anywhere without being preyed upon by algorithms and shit

#gets me very far. i’m just going through it and annoyed at myself when i shouldn’t be because i can’t anticipate everything — #no matter how intuitive i am or regardless of how much discernment i have. #i hate being here. i feel like i made excuses in hopes of not being here and still ended up here. #i wouldn’t even call them excuses because i thought i was giving grace and clearly looks like grace at my expense is a betrayal. #i’m getting better at choosing myself. at the moment it might feel like a loss and everything feels pointless and all i want to do is cry - #i never want to feel like this again. #anyone who wants to hate me can hate me. i do not care. #i will say that since i’ve posted this - it’s nice to see other folks and their take on self awareness. almost comforting i’d say.

few things are as important to me as Kevin and Andrew's relationship and i think them pre-tfc specifically is sooo scrumptious because. when they first met they go from being at each other's throats all the time to being inseparable. they picked each other up from rock bottom. nobody really understands their relationship. they're the only people who can really motivate the other. he's not allowed to drive his car just because it's fun to tell Kevin no. they aggravate each other to no end. Andrew would've taken Kevin's head off if Kevin hadn't already thrown Andrew's racquet halfway across the court. they know each other's boundaries and are therefore the only ones who can successfully push each other. he gives him his pills. they can spend an entire afternoon alone together without saying a word. Andrew said he'd break his own fingers if Coach made him play with Kevin again. they've seen each other at their weakest, they can see the most triumphant versions of each more clearly than anyone else. they've both got the same flair for the dramatic and thank goodness because who else is going to put up with them. Kevin gives Andrew direction Andrew gives Kevin strength. they're both ridiculous as hell. their successes are so emotionally tied together. they need to see each other be better, nothing else is as motivating.

my most unpopular grouchy christmas opinion is that krampusposting is more cringe and irritating than sincere christmas love by like a factor of 50

#if you love christmas i will be annoyed but in a way where i'm aware that it's on me. you should like your holidays that's fine. #if you post krampus i am so mortified to see it and the urge to MEDDLE becomes overwhelming. it becomes so hard to leave it alone. #it's so so embarrassing to see. #just dug up this post from drafts last year bc i was reading abt how krampus is early modern/definitely not 'prechristian' which is an extr #layer like not that it would fine to post obvious racism / blood libel if it was prechristian revivalism but like. it simply is not. AND. #it is often racist / antisemitic and always embarrassing. #waving a red flag at a bull with this post let's fucking go #h/t kuzu for linking me the article in question.

not to constantly. Rant about this. But folks. Asexual = lack of sexual attraction. Sexual attraction = wanting, on some level, to have sex with someone. It has nothing to do with libido. If you have no desire whatsoever to have sex with other people, you very much fit the definition of asexual.

far too many people act like they have to cage their sexuality because they like kinks or masturbate or whatever—if you don’t want to fuck others, you’re ace!!

#if anyone comes on here like uhm asexuals can have sex I am gonna lose it. I AM AWARE. #that is IRRELEVANT TO MY CURRENT POINT #<- sorry I have been annoyed lately at how no one can say Anything about ace shit without people going #UM some aces have sex actually like. YES. WE KNOW. #DID YOU ALSO KNOW SOME OF US DONT #(to be clear I love and support ace sex havers obviously)

so hey guys i finished dungeon meshi yesterday and i'm still thinking about it

#ria.txt #i spoiled myself so at first i was like 'this is bonkers wtf are they doing in those last few chapters?????' #but then it was like. yeah. i see #love those ch when it's just clearly putting the squad into Situations #also. izutsumi #what i really liked was how tightly the protagonist and the deuteragonist were wound up in the overall themes #the plot the themes the conflict the characters it was very neatly connected #hence i am also now accidentally invested in whatever going on between laios and marcille #not just platonic not romantic not enemies i just think they work well tgt and deeply care for each other its great watching them develop #it's the leader + most trusted advisor / anxious girlfailure + the annoying freak she's somehow attached to vibes #haha that rabbit chapter with marcille. hahha i was like what the fuck man. it was funny and then boom whump [tears streaming down my face] #those shapeshifter chs were sooo much fun esp seeing other chara's perceptions of each other. stealing that #the changeling ones were great too elf senshi is the fucking funniest he looks sooooooo unserious #marcille's evolving perception with death starting with saving falin and saving the squad and her nightmares of outliving everyone- #-and her dad and her 'temper tantrum' and UGH when at the end she said she was fine with falin not coming back.... WAAA. OUGH. #i think dunmeshi handled the trope of 'prophecy of chosen one becoming king' pretty well and it makes sense why laios is the protag #the worldbuilding is so thoughtful as well i liked seeing different characters with different worldviews interact #very solid and well rounded series wooo #the main 4 has such a fun dynamic together #anyways. dunmeshi au..... #more like borrowing the worldbuilding bc charas are too nuanced for a one to one comparison #ren is like some prince of his own species but he's like 34th in line and no one cares about him so he fucks off to eat monsters #which is why he's both snobbish AND a total freak when it comes to his food taste #false is originally in for the money from ren and plans to scam him but unfortunately the cringefail swag captures her #martyn is Obnoxiously Clueless and thinks he's smart but he's not. he's resourceful but also pathetic and crazy #stress cant cook but she thinks she does so everyone goes (≖_≖ ) when she picks up a pot. they delegate her to killing and chopping duty #the mvp is iskall who keeps on saving everyone's asses and somehow has resources for everyone #i think ren is actually aware false is going to scam him but he has too much money to spend anyway and he thinks shes cool so he lets her?? #and somehow she doesnt take the money and run. and goes back to eating monsters w/ the party. everyone is crazy

with the anon talking about angry ingo, i assume when ingo caught wind akari was banished. i can see all hell broke loose specially ingo charging at clan galaxy leader

In regards to this ask

I’ve thought on this scenario and I can see what you’re saying anon! A lot of people go this route, but I like to think that perhaps in that situation he’d be more concerned over Akari’s safety out in the wilderness than going and attacking Kamado — at least if he did get involved at all.

Personally the only thing I can see causing him to get like this is if he got the chance to personally confront the thing that pulled him to Hisui.

So many theories — Arceus themselves, Giratina at Volo’s command to open rifts, an Ultra Beast through an Ultra Wormhole — I think each one would bring some level of anger to it, either at the situation or the entity that did it.

He was pulled right out of his life and lost everything dear to him against his will (I’m assuming), and was just left adrift in a murky haze. And then to possibly find out whatever did it doesn’t even care or know they stripped him of everything? Maybe he’d be more angry at the situation he’s found himself in rather than the entity that caused it at that point. I don’t know, I’d have to think about it more. ^^

#wayward’s asks #OK GENERAL DISCLAIMER #because I’ve seen like #MULTIPLE people posting lately about how #the mischaracterization of Ingo getting involved in the player’s banishment annoys them #I am FULLY aware that Ingo does nothing in canon and have no problem with that because considering everything why would he be the outlier #volo made much more sense #but in MY ‘canon’ that my stories have built up where Ingo and Akari have a much more developed connection than anything you’d ever get out #of the game #I think that it would naturally incite a little more involvement with all of this #I definitely think it’d be more indirect than direct #ingo cares about the safety of passengers #he’s going to care more about Akari’s safety than beating up Kamado #but again on safety I think he’d also definitely not want to spark Kamado’s threat on war at the act of helping her #I think it would torment Ingo for a while before he’d do anything about it #I wrote about this once and I think I should rewrite it #because I’d probably write it a little differently this time

#this is funny yes #but let me be annoying real quick #and by annoying i mean personal and parasocial here #i hate. touching and physical affection and what not #very much relate to charlie that way #my knee jerk reaction is to not touch people and not let people touch me #and i am not aware of how avoidant i am most of the time #and like. its worse the more i know someone #or like. the more i care for them and think about them #when i met charlie and glenn i didnt really. actively think about it cos they were seated at a table #and i was on the other side and walked around and what not #and i did not initiate touch with either of them #but charlie kept touching my shoulder RAHH. #like we are one in the same in this aspect and yet. he initiated contact with me when i was keeping distance #and he did it again the next week when he saw me at radio city #and its so fucking insanely comforting like. #just hand on shoulder grounding me #connecting. but not having to TOUCH #he like. doesnt want to be touched and i dont want to be touched and that. the shoulder thing. its good. #charlie day i deeply love you i fear #also when i met glenn again he tried to hug me and i actively backed away (which i didnt realise until i saw video of) so #i hope and think he understands... its a thing and nothing against him LMFAO

so i started by looking through the 2009 all star blogs and have finally hit the 2014 oly*mpics and :

this is so funny and confirms my silly tag:

the idea of insanely tall geno trying to hide behind anybody is adorable and obviously would work about as well as covering your eyes to block out the sun but the description of geno just:

awwwwwwwwww ;_;

#why are my favorites always the quiet enigma ones #why can't I like the ones who are loud about it and don't care #actually thats not true there was steve who is one of the most photographed and recorded people in the world or something #maybe thats why i look back at that drawing era with fond nostalgia like steves personality calmed me i identified with it #versus the much more reserved nature i find attractive #siGH #i always feel guilty for throwing too much attention at quiet people #like im perpetually aware of how annoying i am #that goes for both being a fangirl and for in real life

me laughing at the same jokes i’ve heard 1000 times every time i listen to/watch a recording of phantom

#and i swear it gets funnier every time! #was dying while listening to an audio today #(it was specifically nehal joshi during the il muto ballet) #(i could not stop laughing and i couldn’t even SEE him it was just his delivery) #(ugh he’s so funny i love him) #poto shitpost #also side note im about to go on a tangent #but my phantom hyperfixation runs so deep and i have so many thoughts about it #i have at least 100 posts in my drafts about it and i’m not exaggerating #they’re mostly silly memes but it’s still like an overload of posts about phantom #and i’m like. insecure about how much i think about it???? and how much of my headspace i dedicate to it???? #so i keep the bulk of the memes/random posts in my drafts because i just feel weird about posting so much #i really could post about it 24/7 if i didn’t have to be a Person with Tasks #and idk i think im just hyper-aware of how i present my interests in daily life while offline #i am someone who hyperfixates and obsesses and while i could talk about phantom for years i am terrified of annoying people with my interest #i’m worried about being perceived as weird so i kind of flatten myself to make myself more palatable for others #which has me being insecure about the things i’m passionate about and how deep that passion runs #and these feelings have bled online to the specific space i have created as an outlet for my passion #like it’s my blog i shouldn’t be censoring my love for a thing that brings me joy #but my fear of being othered is like. overtaking me. because there are many things that i can’t change about myself #that categorize me as an ‘other’ (sexuality identity mental health etc) #and this is something i can control. i can control how i portray my personality #so i flatten my personality to compensate for the other (perceived) weird things that can’t be changed #idk i just shouldn’t feel the need to do that here bc pretty much everyone on here is super passionate about something #like obsessive about it #and that’s what i love about this site with all its faults. like this is a space for people to come and Be Weird and Act Strange #and everyone just accepts it #and also the phantom community in general #why should i water down my love for phantom in the one place where people can understand it and relate to it??? #hit the tag limit but i’ve come to multiple revelations while typing this lmao

Some attempts at a design for Selena :3. The second image is inspired by the wedding in Haunted Castle, but I changed Simon’s outfit cause idk I just can’t picture him being comfortable in a suit.

The last two of these are way more headcanon-y lol. They’re under a cut mostly in case my headcanons and story ideas change d(^^ ). One of them was inspired by a Kikuo song I was listening to while drawing lol, the song “Let’s Go to Heaven”.

#castlevania #castlevania games #selena belmont #castlevania selena #castlevania ii #castlevania 2 #castlevania simon’s quest #simon’s quest #castlevania ii: simon's quest #haunted castle #simon belmont #akumajou dracula #akumajo dracula #art post #my art #I remember seeing someone make a post somewhere about how it was weird that #a lot of the cut items from the first Castlevania were things like high heels and a love letter and stuff #I wonder if Simon’s wife/girlfriend was supposed to be a character at one point in it and she got cut for some reason #idk it’s interesting to me that she’s only ever appeared in like deliberately noncanon content ya know? #like Haunted Castle was even called not a Castlevania game by its own lead director #the two novels with Simon girlfriends in them were never intended to be canon just fun side stuff #especially the ones that were choose your own adventure books lol I love the art style in one of those #anyway I’ve been trying to think of ways to write her lately but its so easy to end up accidentally falling into annoying tropes alas 💀💀💀 #especially ones the series has already used before oof #currently my idea so far is since Simon himself is kinda the chosen one hero guy trope in CV1 #and ends up subverting that trope by genuinely failing a ton getting hated by the public and possibly dying at the end #maybe Selena might work as initially the damsel in distress and call to action trope and subverts that later???? #I also have always thought she ends up the Mysterious Woman somehow hmmmm #it’s a hard headcanon to incorporate without just pulling a Dracula X chronicles and oh no she’s a vampire aaaaa but that’s been done 💀 #I am also aware that not everything you write has to be 100% completely new and original and perfect but aaaaaaa

Yeah well, sometimes you just have to yeet Tony out of a window, I guess.
