Me, getting into a fic: Hmm, thats pretty good.

Me, seeing a lime warning: Thats a little weird...

Me, remembering the citrus scale: I- I think I need to stick to ao3 for awhile.

#citrus scale #what is it #orange lime lemon grapefruit?#i feel like I'm missing one #wattpad #there are some good stories if you know where to look #obviously I have forgotten #its probably because I'm reading fanfiction instead of an og work #I don't think I've ever found a fanfic on wattpad that reached the average quality of ao3 #most the fics on wattpad are about suicide or smut #i never really paid attention #ao3 could be worse but at least there I could block the tag and hope everyone tags their works properly #ao3 #archive of our own #fanfiction #fanfic #moral of the story #even if you think its a good idea to revisit your first fanfic website I can assure you it is not #spam

astarion origin playthrough worth it just for all the extra moments where he does the "sad wet cat" face

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #astarion #*kisses his forehead* my awful little bastard man... i love you and your big sad watery eyes.#IT'S SO FUCKING QUIET THOUGH IF YOU YOURSELF ARE PLAYING HIM GOOD LORD #I'M SO USE TO HIM COMPLAINING TO MY TAV!!!!#OR BANTERING WITH HIM OR KARLACH OR WYLL!!!#I MISS HIS THEATRICS!!!!!!!#not that it's ENTIRELY quiet. until i found karlach i was travelling with shadowheart lae'zel and gale.#and let me tell you. gale and lae'zel do NOT shut the fuck up if they are together.#they were literally having an entire tinder date while we were trecking through the woods to go get karlach.#i NEVER knew they talk so much because while i've travelled with them individually in past saves...#...i've NEVER had them in my party at the same time!#gale is actually pretty nice to lae'zel! he asks a lot of questions but doesn't condescend her as he does others sometimes.#that's probably because he's afraid of her though. I would be too were I nothing more than a wizard with 8 strength.#I do like how you can look at pretty much any two companions and get a well written and generally enjoyable dynamic!#It feels like they considered that a lot of people would want to maybe pair off the companions they didn't romance with each other!#and wanted it to be easy for really any pairing to work... if a person just paid attention to their shared interactions.

Entertainers like to seem complicated

But we're not complicated

I can explain it pretty easily

Have you ever been to a birthday party for children?

And one of the children

Won't stop screaming

'Cause he's just a little attention attractor

(//source: 'Art Is Dead' by Bo Burnham//)

#bo burnham #art is dead #When he grows upTo be a comic or actorHe'll be rewardedFor never maturingFor never understanding or learningThat every day #Can't be about himThere's other peopleYou selfish asshole #I must be psychoticI must be dementedTo think that I'm worthyOf all this attentionOf all of this money #you worked really hard for #I slept in late while you worked at the drug store #My drug's attention #I am an addictBut I get paid to indulge in my habitIt's all an illusionI'm wearing make-upI'm wearing make-up #im fine

So I'm putting some thoughts about how I see Charlastor in order, just in case I'll need them in the future lmao

Alastor craves power, control, and freedom. These are his main drive forces. The reason Lucifer's presence in the hotel rattles him so much is because he is both more powerful than him, a mere demon... and because he is a more important person in Charlie's life, and she asked for his help rather than Alastor's. While most of his taunting Lucifer about being a better dad than him comes from a place of wanting to hit the King of Hell where it hurts, he's also clearly consolidating his hold on Charlie's heart... who doesn't protest the fact that this consummate liar is calling her "his daughter".

(related to this, Charlie beams when Alastor calls her "good girl", which is completely normal I'm sure 🙂)

Alastor is implied to have been forced by whoever is holding him on a leash to protect the Hotel, going by his wording in Dad Bead Dad. By the end of S1 he is sick of it and wants a way out... but it's also implied he was growing a little fond of the hotel.

Charlie's feelings for Alastor seem to be ambivalent. By Hello Rosie, she's still fully aware that Alastor is a sadistic jerk who delights in people's suffering, and she is extremely reluctant to make a deal with him, putting every stipulation she can think of. However, she has also defended him against Lucifer by saying that he trusts what she's doing, and she's comfortable enough to talk to him about her personal problems with Vaggie even as it's clear that he couldn't care less lmao

Alastor giving his beloved mic to Charlie could be seen as a sign of genuine trust as well: by that point, he doesn't need to go the extra mile to manipulate her, since she owes him "a favor".

Alastor's touchy tendencies have been downplayed since the pilot, when he even slapped Vaggie's ass to annoy her. But he still enjoys touching Charlie a lot 👀 Both in a creepy, possessive way (bro really laid on the bed next to her...), and in a genuinely cute, friendly way. Charlie clearly doesn't mind the latter.

In short: related to the fact that Alastor enjoys being at the center of everyone's attention and is pissy when he gets ignored, Alastor wants to be important to Charlie for reasons yet to be disclosed, and he's willing to charm her in any way he can to make her trust him above others. He keeps his cards close to his chest, but he has been a real help to her, making his possessiveness and manipulation more disturbing.

Charlie is, as of now, in an in-between state where she still doesn't fully trust Alastor but she is growing fond of him and perhaps sees him as an odd friend of sorts - look at her wide grin when he comes back in the finale and she hugs him! She is not stupid, but she does see the good in everyone, and Alastor is no exception.

Alastor might also be eager to use the power of the Princess of Hell for his own purposes... namely, gaining back his full freedom. He might actually need her, perhaps even more than she, as of now, needs him.

In a general sense, both of them might be corrupting each other. Alastor is inherently a corrupting force in a Faustian way, manipulating others to gain more and more power, and so far he seems to be succeeding in getting Charlie to his side by playing the part of the helpful, resourceful hotelier. But Charlie is also an extremely positive force, and as I said before, Alastor seems to like her a little in his own cryptic way. I doubt that this would be enough to "redeem" Alastor... but it would be interesting to see him fight with himself against his newfound affection :)

(bonus: really curious to see where Husk would fit into all of this. I doubt he'd be happy to know that Charlie made a deal with his owner...)

#hazbin hotel #charlastor #charlie morningstar #alastor hazbin hotel #food for thought #really enjoying what they did with these two lol #as i said: i wasn't particularly impressed by alastor in the pilot so i never paid attention to the ship #but oh boy i've been eating what he had to offer in the show proper #so yeah. i'll rotate this in mind :)

cuties (:

#I actually really like how this turned out.............#my art #temeraire #john granby #william laurence #tenzing tharkay #this picture is after a few drinks btw #I think Laurence secretly likes being touched but yk he's very stoic and he REFUSES to ask for it so everyone kind of assumes he doesn't??#but it. comes out a lil when he's drunk.#Tharkay is very unused to it but he's definitely not. opposed. to being touched. especially if its by Laurence...#Granby meanwhile does this all the time.#hes always falling asleep on people and clapping them on the shoulders and nudging them with his hip to get their attention #but it takes him like a bajillion years to hug Laurence for the first time cuz yk. Laurence is. Laurence.#and Laurence is also hesitant to initiate things like that bc he doesn't want to be weird (ITS NOT WEIRD TO HUG YOUR BEST FRIEND LAURENCE.)#tharkay meanwhile has never had very much desire to get close to someone physically or paid very much attention to it #and then he meets Laurence. who barely ever touches anyone. and suddenly whenever their hands brush tharkay is hyperaware of it #I have no idea what I'm saying #I've got a big fat cold and I deadass almost took my ADHD meds on accident instead of ibuprofen... it's 11pm.#that is to say. I'm a touch delirious #so I apologize sincerely if I completely mischaracterized them

Isjfjsjdn Showed someone who plays pool my art of Beta playing and was immediately schooled on other ways to hold a pool cue and what techniques are better and how to do a break

Picture me nodding along as if I wasn't ONLY going to use this knowledge for nothing but silly art.

#text post #just rambling #this person was who inspired the idea of course i watch them play pool a lot #never really paid attention to the hands before i kinda just googled that fjjskfksk #i assume everyone does it kinda different!!! i notice their friends who play also do different hand stuff!!! its interesting!#anyway pool right guys so cool I like pool for normal reasons and not just because imagining Beta playing makes my brain buzz #mdnskfkalkflwgkfk #anywho-

I went into the boys tag for the first time (a big mistake lmfaooo) and I just have to say that white people fall for propaganda so easily especially when wrapped in a thin veil of that same whiteness that they value more than anything else in the world, even when a series like the boys is sort of an obvious social commentary on that kinda stuff 😭……. They’re calling Homelander their girl…. Their BABYGIRL, nigga, he is a fascist sksjsjaja.

#it’s so… like of course they’d like this white man 😭!!! he’s a good character tho I guess like he’s a really interesting villain but #come on 😭#I feel so bad for Ryan he’s being indoctrinated I hope mothers milk kills that white man who’s been taking his daughter #his black daughter to those alt right rallies bro 😭!!!#rambling #also #I didn’t know that white man from supernatural was in the boys #I never cared about SN and you know the kind of rep it has but he was really good in the boys??? I haven’t paid too much attention to his #acting but he was actually intimidating like he did his shit #my sister loved Frenchie and kimiko’s relationship lol #she kept on calling him zayn…#edit: not to say that wp are the only ones to fall for propaganda because no one is immune to it but the shit right in from of them is #usually to obvious to black and brown people #like they’ll defend the shit first before anything else

the issue with the RoyKeeley storyline in season 3 for me. if they’re not meant to be that’s fine, they’re very different people at different phases of their life, but tell us that. Give us some sort of emotional pay off for watching them share half of their screen time together for two years. There’s no scene in season three that felt cathartic to me.
