...this is not unlike the experience of trying to explain the Silmarillion to someone who has only seen Rings of Power

#silmarillion #the book was better #rings of power critical #trop critical #in my defense this was sent to me by my rop-watching friend to whom i tried to explain the silmarillion #it's about the LORE #sheldon webcomic #dave kellett

I feel so insane like what the hell has kpop done to me I'm losing my mind because we got Jongho forearms like what in the Edwardian Era?? Forearms??? FOREARMS???? Is this who I am now?????

#it's about The Lore #not the pirate rebellion cowboy lore #the Choi Jongho is always covered from toe to tip lore #it's the implication #that he... has skin??? i guess????? #Jongho #ateez

Thank you so much @rozhevisny for tagging me in this super cute picrew! Y'all know I'm a sucker for them even if I struggle... and terribly predictable. Anyway here's Wonderwall aka the Dragon Age ocs.

Diana Cousland, Lysandra Hawke, Evahala Lavellan:

Literally anyone is welcome to do this. Seriously, please, so long as you tag me so I can see your ocs 🙏 My enclosure is in need of enrichment. I will tag in the meantime though with the standard stipulation of no pressure and only if you want to @alchemyarchetype @esmeralda-juniper @hawkepockets @pinacoladamatata @vakarians-babe @emmavakarian-theirin @thecadmiuminkwell @ashabellanars

#could not decide between pre or post conclave eva for a while since the blues are VERY bright for the eyes... #but i haven't done content with her for a while so went with a classic #also always feel so basic doing these since my warden and hawke are red heads and no one knows i did it for story reasons #it's about the lore #it's stupid lore #but lore nonetheless #diana cousland #lysandra hawke #evahala lavellan #dragon age #my ocs #picrew

Randomly thinkin about Chilchuck today, and how he tries sooooo hard to self sabotage

like for example, other half foots on the island think that he's a greedy asshole who only cares about money, and he does nothing to try to disprove that

but then there's this omake at the end of book 9 that shows that people treat half foots fucking TERRIBLY and chilchuck started a union to protect them

and then in the bicorn chapter, he doesn't want Marcille to keep digging into his personal business so he tells her he CHEATED ON HIS WIFE

but he just COMPLETELY fuckin lied about that and made himself sound so much worse than he is bc he's afraid of being vulnerable with people and would rather everyone believes he's a shitty person so he can keep them at a distance

and the thing that's memed so often is that he refuses to help with fighting most of the time because it's not part of his contract

but if you take this lore into account (not gonna add those particular images to this post simply bc I've used them in so many posts already LMAO) along with this tidbit from the world guide:

then it's like. yeah he has to keep his weight low so if he gets killed or severely injured and has to be healed, that could be really dangerous for him. and even if he was healed at that point he'd end up being a burden to the party after that point, he would be too dangerously thin/sickly to be able to help.

Like, Chilchuck has so many things about him that APPEAR to be character flaws, but every single one of them has a very reasonable explanation. He just leans into the mischaracterization bc he's emotionally withholding and can handle people thinking he's an asshole more than he can handle opening up to anyone. he's such a well thought out and interesting character

#someone commented about his weight management on my fatness lore post and it got me spinning chil around in my brain #had to do a lil infodumpy post about it eheh #it's fun to make fun of chilchuck but he's really secretly a very kind and selfless guy when it comes down to it #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #delicious in dungeon #delicious in dungeon spoilers #chilchuck tims #long post #lyla's talking again

Suddenly, it's December by margaux paul

#tubbo #tubbo fanart #qsmp #dsmp #not lore related! this quote just resonated with me and by proxy I will project that to my favourite characters :D #my art #something I've noticed is that my comic-style format has MUCH better flow here on tumblr than on twitter #much to think about #my comics

[atissi]

hadn't seen anyone post the full comic about laios + falin's family on tumblr yet so. here you go source is from the reddit

#in general i haven't seen as many translations of the new content get posted here which is like fine #but it was annoying me that the pages shared here and on twitter were missing sections. lore is serious business #the less lore the average tumblr user knows about the more nonsensical takes i'm forced to read. so im taking direct action #this is the last time im posting manga pages here i don't want to become a manga pages blog #beepbeep.txt #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers

there’s death of the author and then there’s whatever the fuck is up with danny phantom

#danny phantom #death of the author #most of the lore is fan made #a decent chunk of the fandom hasn’t even seen the show #one of the most beloved side characters isn’t an actual character #because we made him up based on a like 2 second clip #he’s not even the only widely accepted fan made character #because we spawned more from him #and we ba sing se-ed ourselves about phantom planet #dannypocalypse is also a thing #it doesn’t have anything to do with death of the author #but it’s important to me that we’ve pulled off a successful fandom apocalypse #every year since i think 2017

I'm giving Anastasia a try, on the fence

Everyone talks about the joys of someone else being super invested in your OCs and while this undoubtedly feels absolutely awesome, I think there's also something to be said about the joy of being invested in someone else's OCs too. There's just vibes you get out of some people's casts of characters that you can't get anywhere else with their own unique flavor from that person, and they're just sitting there in relative obscurity spawned completely out of someone's mind with no media involvement or anything. Special kind of feeling

#ESPECIALLY if you are friends and they share secret obscure lore with you #and fun lil facts no one else knows #plus people get so giddy about it and it feels GOOD to bring that kind of joy to someone #wildemusings #a wilde hit

Someone: *mentions doctor who*

Me, vibrating with the effort it’s taking to not talk about something no average show watcher would even have heard of: oh yeah cool show

#it’s so easy to get me to talk about obscure doctor who shit #I will bring up looms #and my options on time lords #doctor who #this is nothing against people who have only watched the show or don’t know any lore I am just insane

be a moon unto yourself 🌕

i took a long break btwn working on this one n this was the original idea... i do miss it but i thought the clothes were too unrelated to him :( goodbye leyendecker inspired gale 💔

- comp based on gale's datamined icon/waterdeep's coat of arms

- pose is from persona 3 protag's boss fight in p5r + listen to kimi no kioku if u haven't already ⚰️

- the flowers are roses!! i associate them with gale + his ambition even more after learning he burnt the rose bushes as a child

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #my art #bg3 fanart #idk the full waterdeep lore but i'd like to imagine that gale loves waterdeep in the same way disco elysium's citizens love revachol #“i love revachol i hope she loves me too” #smth about gale's adoration for a singular “perfect” goddess morphing into love for his home and its people in all its imperfections

thinking about how the extra area added on to a pacifist run of undertale, the true lab, is about alphys's past mistakes. how it ends with the story reaffirming that, despite the pain she's caused, the thing that matters is that she has now made the choice to do the right thing. she's still worthy of her friends' love.

thinking about how undertale doesn't expect the player to get a pacifist ending for the first time. how it's more likely than not that the player will kill toriel the first time they battle her, how lots of players don't initially figure out how to end undyne's fight without killing her, etc. what it expects — not even expects, really, but hopes — is that the player, if they care enough, will use their canonically acknowledged power over time to make up for those mistakes.

no matter how many neutral runs a player has done before committing to the pacifist run, the thing that matters to the characters, to the story, is that you've chosen, now, to do the right thing.

compared to alphys, the player honestly gets off lightly, in that you're the only one (other than flowey) who really remembers any harm you might have caused. and any direct guilting the game could have done about it is long past at this point. instead, as undertale often does, it makes its point via parallels: alphys caused harm, and she knows it. she has committed to being better. in doing so, she has unlocked for herself a better ending to her story. and she deserves it. she's forgiven.

those structural narrative parallels are all over undertale, if you know where to look. and that's one of the things that makes it so fuckin' good.

#undertale #alphys #true lab #this inspired by a mutual's alphys posting #and a discord convo i had a couple weeks back about ut's stance on ''punishing'' the player vs the monsters for their actions #and thoughts i've had generally post a certain fangame with a color in its name about just how well ut is structured as a narrative #everyone rightfully praises toby fox's character writing but stuff like this i think flies under the radar a bit by comparison #and it deserves to be appreciated #there's obvious Lore reasons why the true lab is only visited in a pacifist run (what's revealed about chara and flowey) #but this is the other half of it: the message of alphys's story hits hardest on a paci route post neutral runs #toby fox is a good writer more often than not
