Best genre of character is “they’re not tired of being nice, but they deserve to go apeshit”

i think lilith should appear as a ghost one time and give advice and the advice is to burn someone's house down

Au where Keith gets a few more future flashes in the quantum abyss than he did in canon. Now armed with the knowledge of many future plot points, he sets out to make things right.

Or at least. He tries.

#Rambling into the Ether #he was there for 2 years. plenty of times to see things #even if future glimpses are less common #He knows something is up with Shiro. They need to get him in a pod. Pronto. Before Haggar activates him. #And yet. Things turn out the same. They’re not far enough away from the Castleship. #They lose 3 years. Keith wonders if knowing will change anything at all #Or is the story set in stone. #knowing the future isn’t something he wants to advertise. each thing that goes wrong fills him with guilt. he wanted to prevent this and #would they feel betrayed if they knew? #poor Keith :((( #burdened with knowledge. changes everything yet does nothing #but what if he can alter things? what if he does? he can’t tell until the reality that comes true is different from what he has seen #small things. butterfly effect #vld Keith #voltron #vld

It's been a while since I last thought seriously about Dr*gon A*e (even prior to falling in love with BG3) and I think a big part of that is I'm not as big a fan of the setting and the worldbuilding as I used to be. Like to me it really does feel like BW looked at typical fantasy settings and went "hmm okay but what if there was Catholic-enforced racism and abelism". And like. Cool thought experiment bro. Do we really need three games made by primarily white guys about that.

#dragon age critical #marie speaks #idk if ableism is the best comparison for mage oppression but idk you get my larger point #I've heard that DA was supposedly BW's critical response to settings like Forgotten Realms after making the og BG games #and idk if that's true but I'd be willing to believe that bc that's what a lot of it's world building feels like #“oh u thought the elves where gonna be ethereal and respected? nah they're a haphazard blend of irl oppressed groups” #“oh u thought this fantasy world was gonna have a plethora of interesting and dynamic deities and gods? nah it's just fantasy Catholicism” #“oh u thought people who can use magic would have respected places in society? nah they're locked in jail for being Different” #like I feel like these ideas were kinda cool for one game. An expanded thought experiment #but idk if they were strong enough to sustain an entire franchise #without significantly expanding their pool of writers to get the perspectives of people they're attempting to represent at least #but that's a whole different issue #anyway DA has some legit cool concepts like the Grey Wardens that I will always love #and most of their early character work is still really strong #but for me every time that setting rears it's head problems arise #anyway if you're still a DA fan that's totally fine! I'm very happy for you! #don't let my salty ramblings spoil what resonates with you from these games #I'm just reflecting bc it used to be a huge part of my life especially through like all of highschool #and now it's just. not.

Decending into the vipers pit again to say that Jason is NOT utilitarian in utrh. That would imply that he was dispassionate and merely focused on the "greater good", but no, that boy was there for his own personal sense of justice. Utilitarian justification is on his side, but that is not what he is. Jason believes in his own sense of justice, retribution for grievious slights and the special moral exceptionalism within families and love. At times he acts as a utilitarian would, but the truer understanding of his character would be that he has a personal sense of justice and own moral compass.

I could never survive a standard isekai. I have zero surviving skills, don't really like outdoorsy activities which is almost always a guarantee in isekai, and constantly overthinking and anxious.

I COULD, however, be a shopkeeper or work in one. And I'd be okay with that.

#neoyi talks #just ramblings. #I could never be the chosen one #playing one in a game is one thing having to actively make incredibly hard decision would require me to maul it over #and by that point the main baddie would have killed off my entire party #at the least make me a supporting party member but do not shove your bullshit destiny onto me you will regret it #this sounds like I'm shitting on myself but I'm not I am content with how dull I am I just know my limits #I will be the NPC who you buy potions and ethers from and I am okay with this

sooooo for scientific purposes how fit is remus?

i love science 👹 so much 👹👹

i am an average joe remus truther at the end of the day. like when i picture him and how he sees himself and how other people perceive him it’s very much “oh that’s a guy.” like he’s just a guy. crooked bumpy nose. kind eyes. nice smile. teeth just a little crooked just a little wonky.

however.

i think sharpshooter remus is a little more oof than i usually picture him for a few reasons

1. basketball physique. hello. the shoulders (!!!!!!!). the arms. like……,the cardio on this man. he is a string bean and on the 6’4 side of 6’3 but also strong as hell. there’s a bit of a slutty little waist happening beneath all those big hoodies and sweaters and loose jerseys he wears. fucking drool worthy shoulders i cannot emphasize this enough

2. his hair specifically gets my gears going. puts a little gas in the tank if u catch my drift. i love literally all depictions of his hair in every fic (currently daydreaming ab crushofdove’s remus in ‘you wouldn’t like me’ with the shaved sides and little moons) but something ab this remus’ hair makes me feral. like it’s not light brown but it’s not dark brown. the little curlies at the back of his neck???? fucking kill me. not curly enough to be curly but too curly to be wavy. very easily disheveled. i want to braid it and pull it and bite it and cut a little tiny bit of it and put it in a locket around my neck.

3. let’s talk about height again bc oh my god. tall. big n tall. but not big n tall in a gangly, awkward kind of way. there’s no tripping over limbs going on here. thats a 6’3 & 3/4 man w precise control of every tiny little muscle in his body bc he’s played a sport that requires agility and speed and strength his whole life (i’m a puddle of goo, you’re a puddle of goo, sirius is a puddle of goo, we’re all a puddle of goo 🫠)

4. in my head this specific remus also has a very stunning gorgeous bronzy complexion. he very much gets a tan in the summer & all his little freckles go dark brown. in the winter it fades to a very pretty olive tone that sirius likes to say matches his own pasty winter complexion even though it very much does not, but remus lets him believe it anyway bc he’s too nice for his own good

5. this isn’t an actual physical trait but it’s arguably what makes him hottest: his voice. i have it very specifically nailed down in my head. it’s a little quiet, a little on the breathy side, it’s not ever shrill or sharp. it goes higher when he laughs and lower when he’s saying something particularly dirty near sirius’ ear (but we haven’t got there yet, dw ab that one rn). it’s very warm. very sweet. very sultry. very hot.

i could go on and on and on and on but let’s settle and say that sharpshooter remus is a HARD 8 from afar and a solid 15 when he’s got u against a door.

#u ask tortoise answers #anon #love this question #any excuse to gush over remus #our collective boyfriend #can u tell i have a thing for shoulders #did i make it too obvious #let’s not let this distract us from acknowledging that sirius is an ethereal being #hey sharpshooter rambles

listening to the aesthetic week spotify playlist (more on that later) and got jumpscared (read: almost teared up) by Undertale by Toby Fox, a song that I added.

#out of queue #ani rambles #not solarpunk #but also its the solarpunk aesthetic week playlist so it kinda is #listen. you didn't hear it from me. but. #none of us know punk music. or even solarpunk music. #we just put what vibes with solarpunk for US #so rn its mostly lofi and acoustics and folky tunes with maybe 2 green day songs and 1 jimmy eat world #i might go in and add some yellowcard faves but uh. you get the gist #if you're reading this and you wanna participate in solarpunk aesthetic week. and you know some nice solarpunky songs or even punky songs #add that shit to the community playlist when we share the link #this is not an order but this is a strong request i wanna hear new tunes #*vanishes into the ether*

Okay but like!! It’s about the failure of abstinence-only education. It’s about the adults making teens think that any sexual feelings are unnatural and “evil.” It’s about how none of this actually stops them from having these feelings, it just leads to them having an irrational response when they actually do want to have sex (cough Grace cough). Idk if I’m making sense but you get what I’m saying

Father!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

#caluuart #genshin impact #genshin #art #arlecchino #god she's just so. cool. pretty. ethereal. badass. #also I LOVE HER STORY QUEST SO MUCH!! I think it's definitely one of the best story quests in the game tbh. #wait uh arlecchino story quest spoilers below: #for one; the quest really gives even more depth to arlecchino's character. like yeah the whole thing is well. messed up. #it's an orphanage that raises orphans to be child soldiers after all. But it's also like. It's more.... humane? nicer? for the fatui anyway #which does bring me to the next thing. you know how arlecchino's like “if you're gonna leave the HotH you need to fight for it with ur life #I genuinely think that she's gonna just. straight up kill them. although it's not unlikely at all it turns out that (most of the time?) she #-just gives them a one trip to memory loss and set them free. which i do know it's kinda like death in genshin's lore but still. #I just find that pretty interesting. #also the cutscene where clervie says goodbye n stuff. It makes me cry EVERY TIME. ARGHHHH TRAGIC CHILDHOOD DOOMED YURI MY BELOVED :((( #clervie makes me so sad man. the fact that she just. accepts death. she really just let peruere kill her huh. crucabena when I fucking get #the hopelessness getting to her at that point. all attempts of freedom failed until that day..... GOD. and clervie finally getting closure- #-in the story quest as a spirit... I just..... man......... #on a lighter note :) #I got obsessed with a bloodborne OST LMAO. the uhh the lugwig boss theme. esp the sec phase one. it's SO GOOD. I first heard abt it in a- #-vid analyzing the ost musically. At the time i was like. woah. cool. what a cool sounding track. fast foward to like. a day before 4.6 #I'm watching a genshin theory video and I heard the music in the bg. I recognized it but I couldn't remember where I heard it from #UNTIL I REMEMBERED. and looked it up. And I have not known peace since. good music. #anw I've been rambling too much so yeah. gn my dear fellows!!

[op3ra]

yeah cats warsaw slayed so hard with their pas de deux replacement choreo

#i'm an absolute hater of london's pas de deux i literally will not watch it (skimbletable is gross) #so i reeeally enjoy it when nonreps do something different for it like this production did #pulling stars from the sky is so whimsical and ethereal i've rewatched it like 4 times #victoria is sooo pretty and glowy in it i genuinely wish it was a longer section #i'm not into the rest of this nonrep unforch but man. that was such a good choice #also i'd say warsaw has some of the best instrumentals i've yet listened to? very nice def top 3 #rambles

[elvencantation]

sometimes i think too hard about gender and i’m like. what is guy or girl outside of society’s norms and ideas of how either should present?? like if i take my body out of the equation, im just a person?? idk maybe i’m overthinking it. but i cant figure out the difference. or is it something you’re just supposed to know? there’s a fair amount of unspoken social rules and stuff that i don’t seem to know so i wouldn’t be surprised

#blue rambles #thematically appropriate given the month 😂 #also i feel like gender is separate from pronouns? #for me anyway #like pronouns is just what ppl call u #u could just use my name #gender is confusing #id rather be perceived as slightly ethereal and otherworldly #that’s way more important than my gender #ever since I saw that post about unlocking cis+ it’s made me think #is gender mainly about presentation? #for society i guess #¯\_(ツ)_/¯
