i love it when bad is very specifically a good roleplayer by giving other people good prompts. like casually bringing up wilbur now to tallulah. or when he put missa in the petting zoo. or all those times he Tormented the Lesbians so they could protect each other from him. its just so !!!! I love watching roleplayers be considerate of other roleplayers and gleefully hand over something they Know the other person's character can react to. i've seen cellbit do it, too (that time he handed his knife to bbh. oh my god). it's not a rare thing, and it's possible to be a good roleplayer without keeping that sort of considerate back and forth in mind, but its one of my favourite things to notice. foolish does it too, sometimes- i haven't watched him much, but i did take note of when he Made Sure to bring jaiden along with him on a cucurucho quest. and basically every interaction he had with bad when the eggs were missing. its just so so good

#i think one of the worst things that can happen to a roleplay is for the players to stop interacting with each others' storylines #roleplay is an incredible medium particularly because of that Collaboration and Improv #and if youre just standing around pushing your own story then yeah sure its fun #but its MAGICAL when people engage with it #and its MAGICAL to look at a story #go 'what if i. did something funny here' #and throw in a little wrench that lights a delighted FIRE in the other player's eyes because now they get to go on a rant #or take drastic measures #or just do something a little fun that they couldn't/wouldn't have without that prompting #its like when bad went around telling people he was imposing building laws on behalf of the feds and people were like #actively a little disappointed that it was just a prank and they couldn't go HAM #anyway i miss roleplay. #qsmp why would you make all these people live so far apart from each other </3 spawn is so uninhabitable there is nothing for them #to make pretty or modify its not Theirs there's no reason for them to be there other than to shop #but i am on . a tangent. #and that is its own lighthearted post analyzing the psychology of built and modifiable vs provided and immovable spaces in the game #no its not late at night and i should not be doing other things (lying)

All it takes is a wee little nightmare to make you too scared to step foot outside for fear of Bad Things happening, like it’s an omen lol

#also it is p o u r i n g outside and it takes me an hour and fifteen minutes to commute to campus #i'm a good little student but sometimes i just can't be assed #esp with all the crazy stuff that's been happening on public transit and on my campus for that matter #i'm just getting a bad vibe today [insert empath meme here] #warning for me complaining about a graphic nightmare!!!!: #had a few stress dreams(?) last night but one particularly violent one in which a woman got run over by a streetcar-- #--and the paramedics were moving people along but i accidentally got a really good look at her and it fucked me up #she looked like she was just sleeping peacefully but i could only really make out the top half of her body #probably because the bottom half was... yeah. #i think i also had another dream that i was being hunted by a sniper?? and they had called my cell and were threatening me + my folks? #and another one where i had to hide some children from... i don't really know what. some dangerous person who wanted to kill all of us #but the kids wouldn't leave me even though i begged them to. #yeah just a normal collection of dreams for me. literally ugh. #i don't even think i'm stressed in my life rn?? #not any more than normal lol

I can't explain how devastating and crushing it is to come on this app or pretty much any app, and to see people that have made it in the industry talking about renewing shows that they've worked on in the past, getting along with each other working on creative projects and passions and having a fulfilling life with one another-All while in real life me and a lot of people like me are literally being forced to work jobs that they don't want to that is gradually crushing the life out of them with nothing as direct company except for strangers on Reddit telling us "grow up and get over it" over the profound devastation that my dreams as doing things creatively with interesting people and living in empty life is literally my reality forever

#I'm entering psychosis levels in the middle of the night in terms of how dark it gets #I'm only into two things and have been for years but even just seeing people on Twitter reference the idea of renewing them #with the cruise that they worked on them with is enough to completely crush me beyond function #I'm sensing a particularly bad drop soon

I know in my heart Sam and Jess bullied each other so hard

#sam winchester #jessica moore #samjess #supernatural #spn #stanford era #affectionately obvi #there’s just no way I buy their relationship wasn’t built on a foundation of constantly ribbing each other #Sam’s the bitchiest bitch around and Jess has a phd in sarcasm #but Sam’s also the gentlest sap in town and Jess is generous and thoughtful #jess said ‘get you a man that can do both’ and then mercilessly teased him #and sam said ‘she’s so pretty and mean to me <3’ then promptly fell in love #you have to understand that in my head jess and Sam met before Brady introduced them #Sam was working graveyards at a local diner and having a particularly bad night. jess was at said diner with her friends. #Sam’s a little too snarky and Jess says something that rubs him the wrong way. they do Not like each other #sam was just ‘that jackass waiter from a few months back’ and jess was ‘some rich bitch probably living off daddy’s trust fund’ #and then Brady introduces them and it’s like ‘oh great it’s YOU 🙄’ but the more they talk and joke it’s like ‘oh great it’s YOU 🥰’ #and they’re so cute and soft. the real It Couple of Stanford’s weirdos™️ (affectionate) #but they also make jabs left and right and roast the shit out of each other #not everyone knows they’re joking #it’s a confusing dynamic for everyone else but that just makes it even more enjoyable for sam and Jess #this is all right and true To Me

A trend in Astarion fics that I find bizarre is the idea that he's never been treated gently during sex. This is difficult to believe for one simple reason: some of Astarion's victims were virgins.

Astarion: You were handsome. Shy. You'd never been kissed. Sebastian: You taught me how. And then you destroyed me.

I get the desire to make his current partner special by having their sex be good and wholesome in comparison to his other trysts, but this is a flawed sentiment. The cutscene of that first night together is incredibly tender from the kiss to laying on the grass - the only outlier being if you offer your neck - and if you sleep with Astarion but keep it at that night, Astarion himself says he will never forget you. Not because the PC was uniquely gentle with him in bed, but because they were the first person he ever slept with of his own free will. It's his choice that makes that night special to him moreso than anything the PC may or may not have done during that time.

#baldur's gate 3 #astarion ancunin #astarion #the only exception i have to this is rimming. im down so bad for him being overwhelmed from being eaten out its not even funny #also the blood drinking since that is canonically new. makes me wonder how not being hungry would specifically affect him during sexy times #it's an eat or be eaten out world #...anyway #other factors can and probably do make their adult fun times special for him. particularly the intricacies of personal dynamics #a night w a pc that listens to him. lets him drink often. and saves the tiefs is def more special than one w a pc who does none of those #i really enjoy the tension between his hating heroic types and them being the most likely to provide the things he needs to survive #oh and smth thats somewhat related to this #i don't think astarion ever let his conquests see his back #in the clearing he's always facing his partner and even the camera doesnt show his back until the dramatic reveal #given that his victims were all one night stands it'd be p easy to convince each of them to do it face to face #leaves plenty of positions and ftf is oft more romantic which could def be an interesting conflict for him and his lover #so many common gestures of affection have been ruined for him. theyre just motions at best now #that makes it easier for their faces to be ingrained in his head so. bonus trauma lol

It sucks being the only one in your house that can pick up the telephone at the moment.

At least the moon will keep him company in the dead of night

#micas art #twst #twisted wonderland #malleus draconia #a little bit of context for this: #this is based on my headcanon that malleus suffers from insomnia #there is something weirdly isolating and lonely about the night #when the world gets quiet and cold and dark and you feel like the only moving breathing thing in it #what could he do but wait for it to pass on his own? #its no ones burden to bear but his own and hes not some child who needs to be coddled to sleep #(but maybe. just maybe on the nights where it gets particularly bad he might crave a soft hand to gently comb through his hair) #(hes seem lilia do it countless times for silver when he was little. the memory always makes his bed feel a little bit colder) #also for anyone curious (and bc im unsure i drew it very well) the flower is a white chrysanthemum! #i definitely need to practice flowers more #but uwauuuuughkg this piece was so draining to work on. it gave me so much trouble and im still not completely sold on it #still hope it will resonate with people and that you can all enjoy it!!

sorry this is sort of out of pocket but in the no-escaping verses or his final boy verses i love to make leland living dead boy imagery, missing poster boy, buried alive under the floorboards boy. boy you last saw on the end of a dusty road against a pale dusk sky. ghost of a boy who did his best to be good and kind and wanders those basement cells and through the sunflowers looking for his friends, still. forgetting he's just reliving a cycle. never able to step off the property no matter how hard he tries. not able to do so much as rustle the curtains or make a sound. no one knows he's there.

#val and i were talking about some particularly evil devastation last night and anyway: lee being a ghost bc he keeps trying to protect #the person he loves who's trapped there... u know. #if u think about it all his trajectories are just about how he's tied to that place. and how he lives his life as a ghost #versions of being kept at the house where he learns to accept being missing and dead and eventually chooses to never go home himself #( re bad ends: you never get to die when you’re meant to. years later having someone see the ghost #of the boy in your dead eyes. you’re not kind or good anymore. being seen is painful. )

#asdgjk! i've been caled for an interview for a job i figured i was a long shot for! #bad news is they want me to do a presentation #and i only have a couple of nights to look up the info and put it together as well as prepare for the usual behavioural interview questions #which i think will be particularly tricky to answer given point 1 #*manic cackle * #real life #not fandom #personal

late night red string conspiracy board for you.

halo 5 had to blow the lid off the whole damn setting.

if it didn't, the master chief would've been in a situation without an all-consuming apocalyptic war for too long and halo would've had to deal with how you can't keep maintaining the belief the master chief is a decent person without eventually putting him at odds with the unsc. and halo absolutely does not want to do anything less than it wants to do that.

#late night insane ravings #no rbs i don't particularly care to discuss this thought with randos #what percentage this is a joke vs what percentage i think this is real is a magic eye puzzle for the reader #and considering how bad the tv show is i'm kind of terrified of how it would go if they actually tried it #through a glass stupidly

#Had a particularly bad bout of insomnia last night and finished reading the series. Loved it to pieces. #I'm in denial that it's done and am saving up the short story from when I just need a little more. #Portland Row is now in my heart's map of dear places. #lockwood and co #save lockwood and co #coreander’s old books #recovering reader

Why did I get a black cat? When I hallucinate shadow people?? I just felt a slight shift on my bed, look over, and she's just there. A shadow, with a slight gleam of her eye from the street lights outside. Mistakes were made, but she's such a good cat so I'm stuck with her for the next 20-odd years (hopefully)

#cat #black cat #kitten #mental illness #psychosis #schizophrenia #hallucinations #she usually chirps at me before getting on my bed #i almost always know when she's approaching #one of these days I'll be having a particularly bad episode and have a bit of a time telling if she's real or not #especially at night.... #rule of thumb is if it has eyes it's not a hallucination #they never have eyes or features. just shadows that move in my peripheral vision and sometimes talk. #so if cat 1) talks and 2) has them big yellow eyes we're gucci #i just hope i don't start seeing shadow cats eventually
