#point and click lines

Point-and-Click Lines/Voice Barks

You know those phrases bg3 characters say when you click on their portraits or direct them somewhere? Well, now Vatyrie has some as well. These are mostly basic ones with a few stealth and combat ones. Perhaps I'll add more whispered phrases, combat lines, and the funny responses to spam-clicking.

Basic:

“Charming as a devil and twice as pretty”

“Ever onward.”

“A bit of violence keeps things interesting.”

“Should’ve gone to Iriaebor when I had the chance.”

“I bet that’s worth a pretty bit of coin.”

Excited “Is that gold?" disappointed "Oh, no. Nevermind.”

“Wonder how much I can sell this for.”

"No turning back now."

"Born in fire, risen from ash"

“Nothing is freely given.”

Solemnly, like a reminder “No bonds, no barriers, no bruises.”

Stealth:

"Ready to hunt."

"Finally, some bloody fun."

"Unseen, unheard, unsuspected."

"Can't be the center of attention all the time."

"They'll never even notice."

Combat:

"Here to dance with a demi-devil?"

"Don't threaten me with a good time"

"Relentless"

"Fight or flight, you're finished either way"

"Run while you can!"

"Ruthlessness is mercy to yourself."

After spam-clicking the portrait:

“Either a good god hates me or an evil god loves me, but either way I’m surely being fucked with."

anyone else is free to do this Tav trend too! Tag me and I'd love to see other's character ideas!

I’m actually curious to see if, and honestly hope, in s2 (whenever that may come out. Studios pay your writers and actors) we get some sort of callback or allusion to the rumor that Jacaerys tried to convert Cregan from the old gods to the faith of the seven.

Not because I care about the gods, outside the religious symbolism they bring. I only want to see people’s reactions. Namely the ones who act as if Alicent is the first woman to ever openly practice the faith. Because I have a feeling those same people will paint Jace possibly doing that as endearing versus Alicent who gets painted as a monster for her connection to the faith. The most we see Alicent doing a redecorating her home. Mind you, not even every room because you can clearly see the tacky tapestries in Viserys’ room in ep 8. Plus we see her praying and wearing religious iconography. Things that are not out of the ordinary… at all. She’s honestly your textbook highborn noble woman during that time. She was born and raised in Oldtown ffs. What is she supposed to follow if not the faith💀

She gets seen as this horrible zealot out to destroy the Targaryens through the faith, and to me that is just indicative on how badly people misinterpret Alicent’s feelings/motivations.

People can have their problems with the writing in hotd. I know there are certain things I have problems with myself. But when can we start being honest about how a lot of the conversations that are regurgitated and argued about day after day have less to do with the writing, and more to do with bad faith viewing. People are watching to see what they want to see, not what is actually in front of them.

Anyone with an objective view of Alicent would be able to tell how much she clings to the faith for salvation and hope. She does it to feel close to her mother, and very kindly/cautiously tries to help Rhaenyra with that too. She then reaffirms her faith after 1. She (imo justifiably) loses her shit at Driftmark and feels guilty about it, and 2. Has to marry her children to each other. Something she expresses thinking is immoral in the past. We even see her cut her hair, more than likely as a means of punishment and repentance. She’s miserable and has very few lifelines to hold onto.

How that gets twisted into her being a bigot because she doesn’t want to see dragons having orgies on her walls is beyond me.

Also the idea she is trying to bring down House Targaryen is nuts, but also laughable. Because between her and her actual Targaryen husband, Alicent is the one affirming her childrens’ Targaryen heritage. She makes sure Aemond knows he will get a dragon one day. She makes sure Aegon gets Blackfyre and his namesake’s crown. It seems like Aemond, and more than likely her other kids, know Valyrian. Ironically, the most anti targ (and frankly valid) sentiments we get are from Viserys. He speaks on the doom, fears what is to come, and how they never should have messed with dragons.

Alicent ‘let the people remember the ancient strength of House Targaryen’ Hightower is not the Baelor y’all want her to be. And if she was, it would’ve worked in her favor more. People tend to leave out the part where the most beloved Targaryens (by their people) were partly that because of their connection to the faith. Ya know the thing Targaryens also practice.

#we literally get Rhaenyra making her kids swear #on a holy book - probably the seven pointed star #she makes note that they will have to adhere to that as rulers #what’s not clicking for people lmao #honestly the best way Alicent could’ve ‘ruined’ the Targaryens is by being a bad queen consort #which she wasn’t - she’s actually one of if not the only person constantly counting the cost of her people #and I just know someone is gonna be like ‘her marrying her kids is hypocritical’ #mind you in the book it was viserys idea and it hasn’t been properly laid out in the show #and it’s that’s the case - can I hold Rhaenyra to her ‘I will create a new world order’ line #when she does nothing of the sort of any other woman… #or is the idea that no one can adjust to the bad situations in front of them just an Alicent thing #pro alicent hightower #alicent hightower #anti team black #I guess

Red Tape tied in a bow (P1 | P2 | P3) (Patreon)

Also decided to give a go to the caption thing again since this one’s rather dialogue-heavy!

[Panel 2] Peepers: Uhm...sir? Hater: What. Peepers: Could you- do you have the full paperwork on our health plan?

[Panel 3] Hater: Health plan? Peepers what in grop’s name are you talking about??

[Panel 4] Peepers: It’s really no big thing, I just wanted to see what was (and wasn’t) covered-

[Panel 5] Hater: Commander Peepers. Are you planning to commit insurance fraud on my dime? And you’re asking me how?

[Panel 7] Peepers: P- hahahaha! I would never dream of it, Lord Hater!

[Panel 8] Hater: Then-? Peepers: I just want to see what’s covered, sir. Like I said already...

[Panel 9] Hater: Hrmph. It’s all personally approved by me, so feel free to ask, Commander.

#Doodles #Wander Over Yonder #Commander Peepers #Lord Hater #Oh I had an InOrdinate amount of fun with this lol #Bunch of quiet little inspiration pieces all clicked together into a full page in one sitting that was too fun to set down and go to bed lol #First of all doodling Peepers in a binder? Sparks joy completely #He's not satisfied tho - I considered angsting it up a little or having a discovery mini plot but I feel like those are so done :P #Rather just let him skirt the line and see how close he can get without tripping over it! :D #Hhhhh they're both so fun to drawwwww <3 <3 <3 Peepers with his expressive body language - his leg tucked behind the other in the second! #Also that BG >:3c Hater's room is cool haha #And then Hater himself ah ♪ His face is especially satisfying to work bit by bit until he looks like himself! :D #I was mostly striving for consistency in these so a lot of his expressions are quite similar to the preceding panels - hopefully noticeably! #The ones of him backlit and in profile tho were also very fun! ♪♫ Peepers' posing in the latter as well ahh :D #Even with that I still feel a bit restrained I wanna push him even further!! Cartoony!!! I get excited with every step closer hehe #Also thinking a lot around their early relationship ahh ♪ We never got to see their backstories ouq It's a shame #But we do see Hater and Wander's early dynamic and how Hater changes the more he's exposed to him lol so it's fun to extrapolate from there #A semi-serious paranoid evil electric skeleton man still getting used to having to depend on others <3 Until Peepers proves himself #I mean if he's already a Commander by this point he must've been doing something right but for Watchdogs that's a kind of low bar lol #It's fun to think he was motivated for his own selfish(?) reasons until he started seeing Hater as a proper comrade :) #But until then >:3c Trust very shallow all the way around! Awkwardness and uncertainty! Ah! <3

Hang on. It seems like Mastermind isn't Lu Guang's song like I thought it was but Liu Xiao's. Lyrics below with the Chinese parts translated via Google.

Time is a hypocritical construct

Righteously it wipes out all of us

But I keep rising back from the dust

Again and again again and again

无数碎片 [countless fragments]

不停缠绕相连 [Continuously entwined and connected]

The shadows they whisper in your head

I let them linger and you will like it

You're tied on my strings like a puppet

Before you even notice

I made a deal with the demons

I crave the feel of true desire

There's nothing real 终究走向黑暗 [Eventually heading towards darkness]

Listening all your desperation sounding like a song

Destiny is just my game but is all you counting on right now

Joining the game

Killing spree I'm enjoying the game

So get ready I'm here

Get ready for it for it

Again and again again and again

Take my hand let's set this world on fire

Light it up for the show

Pain will get to you when the night arrives

Like the hunter when a prey lies

It's just how the world's like

Dadadada dadadada

Got nothing holding me back

Dadadada dadadada

Mastermind stays in the dark

Let my flame be your redemption

If you ever get helpless

Just take it in and we'll have some fun

在雷鸣之间我不计代价 [Between the thunder I don't care about the cost]

承受无限电压太蛊惑的力量 [The power to withstand infinite voltage is too bewitching]

在每个时间都呈现我推演结局 [Show me the ending of my deduction every time]

没人能改变或阻挡 [No one can change or stop]

You're down on your knees 'cause u can feel the pressure when I'm taking over

Ain't no too hard to see so u better believe

我就是唯一信仰 [I am the only faith]

一切熟悉的全坍塌 [Everything familiar collapsed]

棋盘上未知的玩家 [Unknown player on the board]

Joining the game

Killing spree I'm enjoying the game

So get ready I'm already here

Can't you see it's a checkmate uh

Take my hand let's set this world on fire

Light it up for the show

Pain will get to you when the night arrives

Like the hunter when a prey lies

It's just how the world's like

Dadadada dadadada

Got nothing holding me back

Dadadada dadadada

Mastermind stays in the dark

Let my flame be your redemption

If you ever get helpless

Just take it in and we'll have some fun

#the reason why I don't think it's Li Tianchen's is because of the line “So get ready I'm already here”. It fits Liu Xiao more since he #literally just arrived minutes before the ending. He also offered his hand to LTC so doesn't that fit the chorus so well? #link click #shiguang daili ren #edit: I can't believe I completely ignored the vibe of the song and just went “[pointing] Lu Guang?!” just because it started after that #bombshell adfgdgjfsdfs

#can i just say something #idk if it’s controversial or not it’s just my thoughts #so years and years ago when chris said in an interview #something along the lines of #‘Sandra bullock is the type of girl you take home to meet your mom’ #and ‘Salma Hayek is the type where you yell action and go to town’ #(on who he’d rather film a sex scene with) #and it’s so funny bc it just clicks with me how… #men boys whatever they’re all the same #I’m not Mexican like salma but #I’m south Asian and I’m brown and this is literalllyyyt how all boys think #like white boys #they date white girls #but on the down low they fuck with us but don’t want to be seen with us or take us home to their parents or make us their girlfriend #treated like a ‘dirty little secret’ fr 😂😭 #I remember back in secondary school #my friend who is Indian #was hooking up with a white body and at one point he made her walk on the other side of the street from him bc he saw his friends 🙃🙃🙃 #white boy* not body lmao #and YES dumb of us to be even giving these white boys attention but like… #we were 16/17/18 year old KIDS who just wanted validation #but anyways it’s crazy…. obviously not ALL white boys and ofc they grow out of it (some of them) #but like it’s so sad #also with Chris like… he’s always only ever dated white women which is FINE like that’s his preference that’s his vibe good for him #but then all this chris ‘Jamal’ evans stuff is like…. kinda sad imo bc #like most white men he might hook up with poc women but of course his girlfriend (now or in the past or in the future) will most likely be #white #which is why I find the jamal stuff kinda iffy lmao #please don’t come at me if you think I said something wrong just tell me nicely or whatever like I’ll understand #I’m just speaking my mind

Here we are– you are the first of the 4 in which I completed. MSpaint spooky/thoughtful Cayin doodle. It was fun deciding on what to do. Hope you enjoy, Croc. Hope you don’t mind that I was feeling BB Cayin <3

// AAAAAAAAAAAHHH this is so lovely!! You nail his style perfectly, this came out so cool. Thank you Cat!!

#submission #Your art is always a joy- and when it's about the snake gentleman himself I just feel so lucky ;u; <3 #don't mind it being BB Cayin at all! ER may have been my focus lately but I still think a lot about the Victorian snek with a hat #plus you capture him so perfectly #also I have to say I'm a huge fan of your usual artstyle but I also really dig the rougher style of your MSpaint doodles! #this could be a portrait for when you talk to him in a very stylish point-and-click adventure game #the way the lines frame him. The way you incorporate the white into his dark clothing and his overall pose her #is such a cool mood #if you make the image smaller and the pixels become more pencil drawing-like it feels like a small illustration over a tabletop statline #or a quest's description #in other words your art just gets the thoughts in my brain moving and I really like that! #the small touch of the colored bow on his ponytail is a neat detail too #and you know what I kinda love the way that warm sepia-ish tone feels #and you know what I kinda love the way that warm sepia-ish circle in the back could be the moon or the sun depending on how you look at it #because it plays really nicely into the duality of Cayin's shadowy style with the theme of the sun for Yig #gives a bit of an Autumn vibe to the picture too :y #but yes I could go on- love it. Love it to bits 8] #hexenjagd #friend art

i need larian to finally fix halsin’s point and click lines bc they never show up for me he’s always just silent during level ups, fights, etc like where’s his fun little quips 🙁

#there’s like 20 mins of halsin point and click lines on yt and i’ve never heard even one in game

[ride-a-dromedary]

Another day, and Halsin remains dead silent 😔

#we're on month four pals #when will my point and click lines return from the war? #halsin casually casting spells without a command - he's just that powerful i guess #BG3 Musing #i've reported the issue to Larian thrice now #they are well aware of it lmao #and yet...

Man coding truly is a gambit. If you fail at it, it's the worst thing. Ruins my day. I felt lost and confused, having a drive to be creative but unable to do anything because I know. I know couldn't get that damn piece of code to run right.

But then when it DOES work? Magic. I'm on a cloud. My crops are flourishing. I look at it and I'm constantly amazed like, how is this working? I know the answer and it still feels unreal.

The epic highs and lows of code...

#personal stuff #i had to get help on something relatively simple #which is annoyyyingggggg but whatveeerrr #i often deep dive when i cant understand how to fix something and I'll spend a couple hours unable to do it #only for either myself or someoene to point out that its simple. often a line of code. that makes it all click and work #and im like ._. damn ok #you truly never know what experience itll be until it happens

[muninnhuginn]

having to make myself just pull back a second and go for "simplest explanation that fits all the facts and isn't accidentally inferring beyond the facts we do have".

#I tend to not want to eliminate possibilities so long as there's even a small chance of them happening and I get why #but at the same time I've ended up doubting things that I think in retrospect I should have taken at face value. #so being sus of ltx beyond the point at which it was clear she wasn't some secret mastermind and wondering if chen bin was even possessed. #and I've ended up making assumptions without realising we're not actually shown it (re: presuming photo possession allowed control) #I think it's mainly just frustrating because in retrospect I can see the clues all lining up. it's not that it wasn't fair play. #the pieces were all there. #link click #link click spoilers #(for the tags :V) #And I'll be honest. Usually I just keep theorising to myself unless I'm super certain or enough other people think similarly #because sometimes I'm on point and can't explain why and other times I trust hunches and don't realise that's what I'm doing so get confuse #when suddenly a piece of media seems to 'contradict' itself. when it's actually just contradicting what I thought I'd inferred #just. taking a step back and trying to apply the simplest explanation that fits. applying common sense as to what fits within genre etc. #I feel really weird about meta-gaming theorising using stuff like current pacing etc but at the same time it's still data that's available #and as long as it's not stuff like idk an interview giving it all away I don't think it's necessarily 'cheating'? #(may delete later idk)

[icewindandboringhorror]

my personal Media Genres tier ranking and also Neopets Species tiers. put together in the same post just due to being adjacently related because they're on the same website lol

links to the specific tier makers: Media Genres --- Neopets

#(might have to right click open image in new tab to zoom and see some of them. tumblr always makes screenshots tiny) #Also I think this is why I have trouble finding things to watch/just don't watch media very often since I'm so so so hyper specific and #particular that I just end up disliking or neutrally not caring about like.. SO MANY things ghfg #Even being aware of my particular-ness I was still surprised to see how many were in the 'dislike' and 'not care' categories lol #Also it is so so so hard being an Action and Romance genre hater YET being a Fantasy and Historical genre lover ghhjb #EVERY fantasy story is also an action romance.. every historical story is a romance.. ouch oof taking psychic damage always #KIND of like how I LOOOOVE point and click mystery puzzle games but I also generally dislike the horror genre #but many point and click puzzle games I used to see would have horror elements or be 'scary' in some way #and it's like HHRgghh.. I just want to navigate a creepy old dilapidated mansion collecting secret codes from books but NOT in a scary way! #just like I want fantasy & historical content but NOT in an action romance way!! #Also.. NEOPETS.. I think my two favorites are both one of the most common choices and also one of the least lol #like EVERYONE loves aishas pretty much. I think they even won a favorite neopets poll on tumblr. But then nobody talks about vandagyres #or even cares about them (seemingly) and they have like so few clothes or good options because they're just irrelevant apparently #also I know it seems very uncharacteristic for the neopet that's basically A Cat to not be in my favorites but I just gjhjhbj #the eyebrows of the wocky bother me. it doesn't match everything else. Even in different paintrbsuh colors it will be #nice and cohesive and pastel or something and then two big dark lines. I aesthetically love thick dark eyebrows on people it just looks wei #rd on a cartoon cat. ANYWAY.. fun to think about #I love ranking things always #also curious to know if anyone has similar opinions... my fellow vandagyre lovers.. and action movie haters.. cutthroat kitchen fans.. :0c #AND as someone tired of romance in general & ESPECIALLY cardboard cutout cishet romances. yes I would of course like to see more lgbtq+ #stories in media etc. The genre is just not placed higher because so much seems to be Modern Young Adult Romance which of course I hate #those themes lol.. We need some drama comedies with a cast of gay 300yr old elves in victorian costume. please.. ghjgj.. (and like ACTUAL #300 yr olds. NOT 'is immortal bt still acts like an irrational 15yr old bc plot'. what abt jaded eccentric elder romance? hmM? lol) ANYWAY #always manifesting a 'high fantasy historical mystery comedy drama satire psychological character study (with vampires)' into existence lol #if I could make a tv show set in my world... the sheer power I would have.. and nobody would watch it because it would have NO action or #romance (at least none that was serious/was not framed as lame/goofy/comedic) & would have intricate complicated worldbuilding and be very #VERY broadly unmarketable.. but I would finally have a show that meets my tastes lol
