LIFE, DEATH, AND THE FURY

I started Hades with the goal of romancing Meg, but over the past couple months I’ve played it through the end credits, maxed out some more bonds, and started trying higher heats! I love it utterly. Here’s to many more runs.

#hades supergiant #hades game #hades fanart #megaera #zagreus #thanatos #megzag #megthanzag #digital art #i stockpiled nectars and ambrosia for meg #i literally did not try to get companions other than battie and mort and i did not update them until i maxed out meg's bond #my friend was like ''but updated companions now means more ambrosias for meg later'' no i have a clear strategic vision #but truly playing this game has been a much needed respite in a wild semester for me. #it's also that it's classically themed to the point where i was intrigued by it but also it's distant enough to not turn my work brain on #at least for these three. i have a lot of fun with them. i'm late-ish game and their banter (especially meg's in tartarus) is really sweet #and than is sticking around after i talk to him in the house #gameplay wise i'm on heat 13 and my fave weapon is the aspect of arthur sword #(extremely funny if you know my bbcm history)

*Turns ur modern college (strixhaven) campaign into a high fantasy AU*

All the designs were based off of what each party member's class might wear in a stereotypical fantasy/j-rpg. I wonder if people could guess their classes without context 🤔

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #oc #artists on tumblr #dnd5e #character design #dnd party #Ttrpg #Oc respite #I ain't tagging all their races/classes. It's too many orz #I took inspo from a lot of places but I admit ff had great influence. I love the art for ffta as a kid #And willow (the satyr) is heavily based on ffxiv's dancer class!! #It was fun to do but some of the classes in dnd truly don't appear elsewhere in more classic fantasy RPG games! #But that's where creativity comes in ig lmaaoooo

‘tis the evening of writing yet another Super Basic™ and Very Tropey™ vampire x human story.

Except this time it’s ‘we missed our chance at romance three years ago because I freaked out and skipped town and now I’ve run into you in an unexpected and supernatural location and excuse me but you’re a vampire and the spooky shit is real?’

Anyway I’m having fun. Hope you’re all doing ok.

(the selkie x bucca x human 18th century smuggling in Cornwall romance story is still ongoing in the background by the way, for those interested in a poly one)

#not much to report or post because my mum's been staying with us for a bit of respite time from caring for my stepdad 24/7 #and i've not been able to do much #but now i've put the sofa bed away and got my study back i can do some more writing and this idea CONSUMED ME today #vampire #vampire romance #vampire trope #vampires my beloved #i'm sorry #i'm so basic but i can't help it #there are some fun characters though

people comparing wild blue yonder to midnight like yeah they're both good scary and unsettling BUT the huge fundamental difference between them is that wild blue yonder is about being trapped in a huge empty space with your friend and this scary thing that wants to kill you and not recognising your friend/your friend not recognising you, whereas midnight is about being trapped in this tiny space with a group of strangers and an unknowable entity and instead of fear of not knowing your friend the fear comes from the doctor not having ANY friends there, from the paranoia and mob mentality. it's a very group-focused story as opposed to wby which is only really commenting on the doctor and donna and their relationship.

there are obvs lots of similarities: twisted reflections, a monster that we never truly see or understand, a 'bottle episode' set in one location, unease and building tension and fear, paranoia, but to me at least wild blue yonder is about friendship and being with your friend but also maybe not with them, and worry that maybe you don't know this person that you love as well as you wanted to think you did...but midnight is very much about not having any friends or allies, and how groups can dissolve into paranoia and blame. wby has no 'one-off' characters whereas in midnight the one-off characters are everything. in wby you're alone in this maze of rooms and corridors...in midnight you're trapped with other people in this tiny little shuttle

tldr midnight is very mob mentality/'little pocket of humanity' focused whereas wby is all about the doctor and donna's relationship, and the different sets - one small and crowded, the other huge and empty - show this off pretty well

#doctor who #this is super incoherent but i had fun rambling about it i hope you get what i was trying to say #also the different sets make them very different episodes just in setup bc in midnight there's no running from room to room #there's no breaks inbetween scenes #no breathers where you see them just walking into a new room or reacting to a new place or running somewhere #in midnight they're just trapped and there's absolutely no respite #no-one gets a breather no-one gets a moment to themselves #no-one gets to do what fourteen did and have a little breakdown and then breathe and carry on #which makes midnight so very tense whereas wby is more traditionally set out with event -> breather/transition/characters reacting to event #whereas midnight no one gets this it just goes and goes and it's so so good because of that #not saying that wby should have done that it works very well the way it's done #just that that difference also makes them very different episodes #i could analyse these eps forever tbh midnight is my all time fave and i was so relieved that at least one of the rtd2 eps is decent #that i enjoyed it even more just by virtue of it not being bad haha

Ok btw my experience here has been awesome so far. This is truly the mental health care of the future, I have to believe that

#personal #the staff are so kind and understanding and fun to talk to and you can leave when you want to if you just tell someone when ur coming back #you can have your phone and the beds aren't fucking plastic rocks and no one is opening your door every 15min shining a light in your face #but if you need to talk to someone at 2 am someone is always there #Also it's all free of charge #There needs to be peer respite everywhere in the world ok #I actually didn't sleep terribly despite being in a new place. In the hospital I needed ambien lol #Oh and I was telling the staff member all my extremely detailed suicide plans last night half expecting her to be like #nope if you had plans you're going to the hospital #but all they really care about is if you can keep yourself safe atm and bc this place is awesome of course I can

* The door opens a little, revealing Isa with a run-down and tired countenance.

Hey.

* Isa's eyes darken in quiet anger.

The Vice President passed a memorandum overwriting facts in our curriculum, erasing "Marcos" from "Dictator Marcos."

We are seeing the historical distortion of the darkest time of the Philippines known as the Marcosian Martial Law in real time. The corrupt in power dare erase the name for whom many heinous crimes against human rights were done.

Manhid na po ako. Pagod na rin ako sa mga kabalastugang ginagawa sa bansa ko. May personal na buhay rin ako. Pucha, sa dami kong pinag-iisipan sa buhay ko, daragdag pa 'tong mga 'to.

[in Tagalog] I'm already numb. I'm also tired of the bastardization being done to my country. I have a personal life too. Fuck, with the many things I think about in my life, all this just adds to it.

* Her grip on the doorknob tightens for a moment as she grits her teeth while looking away, but she only sighs before looking back at you.

I just wanted to tell you that, just in case. There are many unjust deaths under the Marcos era that still have not been brought justice.

(This^ is a thread. Google translates the tweets rather sufficiently, personally speaking.)

Have I mentioned that the election of our current leaders was not fair at all?

I'm tired. I want to help fix this country, but I'm so, so tired.

* Isa sighs again and moves to close the door, but she pauses and looks up at you again.

Promise me that you won't forget too.

We can't forget. We can never forget. Never again.

Thanks for listening.

* Isa finally closes the door, leaving you to yourself again.

#philippines #the philippines #philippine history #philippine politics #martial law #dictatorship #ferdinand marcos #marcos #never forget #never again #never forget never again #if i'm gonna write a post about the kabalastugan happening in our education system i could at least try to be a little fun about it #that's why i wrote it to read like a visual novel/undertale conversation or something #it's my only respite in this bullshit

*Ps5 voice* Hey. Hey listen to me. Girl, it's me, the WIP-generating part of your brain. You can start a new project, trust me okay. This one's really short, you can knock it out in like two days. It'll totally be worth it to put everything else on hold and work on this. It'll just be a simple one-shot this time, I promise.

#my god @brain do NOT do this to me #but at the same time. fucking hell people are SO weird about this character and not in the fun enthusiastic way #like if nothing else I want to give said character some respite from the fucking fandom lmao #what am I /DOING/ why can't I /FINISH/ anything #writing #fanfiction

Hi! I just wanted to stop in and let you know how much I enjoy your stories!!! They have brought me so much comfort during the past week as I slowly go through them. I’ve been going through some stuff recently and your stories allow me to escape for awhile and I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am! 💕

Kaelyn. 🥺 Hello!!!! I’m sorry to hear that things are a harder than usual, lately—you deserve easy days!!! I wish I could give them to you; nice languid ones where you didn’t have to worry about a thing. 🥺 But since I can’t, I’m glad the fics could be there with you and keep you company for a while. 🥺 I’m grateful you’re here, Kae. Thank-you for saying hello; I’ll be thinking and hoping and beaming every ounce of goodwill in me that things get easier, and quickly. 🌷💌 ⛅️🎐🌾

#ofmermaidstories-asks #i hope the weekend brought a little bit of respite 💕 #i saw your username scattered across several AO3 emails and was like !!!! because i recongised it from tumblr #it was like a fun little hello 🥺 #scheduling this—i’ll be asleep when it posts but i hope u see it kae 💌

if twilight link is a dogboy can we agree that midna is a catgirl. i mean this in the cuntiest way possible btw

#bwark #link goes home in the middle of his journey for some respite and midna knocks shit off of his shelves for fun #i think she would also hack up a hairball right in the middle of his floor because she's a grossgirl #this is applicable to both of her forms
