I couldn’t help but make this post after reading one of my favorite tea posts. Because I realized we all have different concepts of how to “normally” do things, like brew tea.
Feel free to also add where you’re from in the tags, if you wish .
(Post is not my own but I couldn’t get the post with all the responses without linking to my own reblog):

Tea anon here again asking if Binah learned how to brew tea only because she wanted to spend more time with you
Binah has always known how to make tea. it's one of the few things that brought her happiness apart from slaughtering the weak, and she still knew how to specifically brew various different types of teas, although her favorite is and still was black tea
but when she was alone, she only made black tea. it's her favorite, there's no point in making any other types- but when you come into the picture she finds herself brewing different types, branching out and trying new flavors, because she knows one method to get you to stay in the room is to offer you a new type of tea to try
and she's not doing this solely for you to be near her- it's because she values your opinion. when she pushes a cup of tea that you've never tried and asks you to describe the taste, she's hearing your thoughts and your demeanor and your voice all in one. she wants to know what you think, what you like, why you like it- everything, because your point of view hold so much weight to her. anything you tell her is carefully tucked away, so she can make your favorite blend of tea whenever you're having a bad day and set the cup by your side, getting to see a smile grace your lips as you whisper, "You remembered."
of course she remembered- it's you, after all, and everything about you is worth remembering

Do you think Gortash would be a good dad? I'm curious to hear your thoughts! Im wondering how he would even react to the news, If it were to happen accidentaly. I think it would be an ego boost for him? Or maybe even a turn on???
hi anon!!! ive had Thoughts about this!
i think he'd be alright as a parent. not great, but not completely awful. he's present, mostly! world's most mid dad. he has that on a mug he never uses.
for a man who ive always headcanoned to want to preserve his rule over faerun (and bane's grip on the land too), having kids is the next option because he'd be able to mould them to take up his mantle when he's gone. theyre just another step in his plan to keeping the world under his control. i think he would be thrilled to find out about it, and then something else would get his attention and it's pushed to the side until he can properly process it.
as someone who had an absent (to put it simply) parent growing up, theres always that lingering fear that i would end up just like them and i think thats the case for gortash as well. humanising him for a second, there may be a part of him that keeps his distance because what if, yknow? sending his child off to be looked after by nannys and other staff while he stays at the opposite end of the building to get work done. that way nothing bad can happen to ruin his well crafted step by step plan in keeping rule over the world. okay done humanising him, back to evil now
i think as the kids get older and become more curious about things he may take more of an interest then. you cant really... do much with babies. hes not about to babble at them or play with them, but a toddler who wants to explore and look at things? come along, child. let me show you some machines you are way too young to be near.
definitely calls them child or boy or girl. thats kind of funny. also could be projecting on how raphael treated him growing up in the house of hope. thats less funny.
teaches them the ways of bane from the moment they can start to understand words. ik theres studies(?) out there saying u should talk to your young kids like normal to help with their vocabulary and gortash definitely does that. this man cannot do baby talk. he sits with them over dinner discussing politics and leadership. bedtime stories? no, no, he's telling them in depth political moves hes planning on doing
ive specifically thought about this in terms of my durge, rue and gortash, and how its a good ending for him but a bad ending for her. its a vague au in my head right now but man. who let the bhaalspawn and banite have kids?
that poor child. as well loved as a child growing up in a political atmosphere with an emotionally distance mother & a father whos only taking notice of them when theyre old enough to start properly learning things can be... thats gotta be a rough childhood...

Just read Kick It Up a Notch and while the event's story was good why did it do the thing that a good chunk of VBS stories do (especially the more recent ones since Walk On and On) of just dragging the fuck on certain points 😭
Project Sekai's pacing is overall pretty great considering how story heavy and extensive it is! With Leo/Need and Nightcord being perfectly paced and WxS and MMJ having minor yet negligible hiccups but then Vivid Bad Squad's is just all over the place?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying their story is bad (trust me they do have banger,good paced stories and I'm excited for the heartbreaking plot twist coming up in June) but some of them just drag on for far too long
For example, Toya getting inspiration from the hospital guy is interesting but it loses it's appeal when it feels like 75% is focused on him and not Toya making music (and later getting to appreciate his bond with Akito) which was supposed to be the plot of the event??
And also the aforementioned recent Kohane event with the middle just feeling like meandering to have the ending randomly feel like her version of Vivid Old Tale minus the nostalgic undertone turned sad by more recent info and the much better pacing that event had
I have more examples of this but I don't want make this rant(?) much longer but TLDR vbs please stop making parts of your events go on for far too long 😭
