Playing Twilight Princess for the first time, so a collection of thoughts while I play, spoilers probably:

- Does this man have a bed??? I've gone through his house twice where does he sleep, am I just blind?? Twilight sleeps on the floor apparently

- Twi wrestling with goats and herding them is giving me life. ALSO YOU CAN PET THEM!! :DDD

- Had my brightness set too low, fought that one plant thingy at the entrance to the cave, accidently mistook Collins stick for what the plant dropped and promptly had a stroke because 'OH MY GOD IT ATE HIM WHAT NO THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT DID THEY JUST KILL OFF THAT KID THIS SOON THEY COULDN'T HAVE RIGHT?' Then walked forward, discovered the pitch black cave and plant drop, then had to take a moment to fathom my own stupidity

- The game is taking away my sword and I don't like it, only bad things will come of this

- Called it

- Why don't we talk about Twi GETTING GRABBED BY THE THROAT AND DRAGGED INTO THE OTHER DIMENSION OH MY GOD?? AND THEN BEING FORCEFULLY TRANSFORMED???? FUCKING HELL THIS POOR GUY

- Minda is such a little shit I love her already

i noticed that people often refer to bookworm’s setting as “german-inspired” or something similar. that is a good enough label during parts 1 and 2, i think. however, once we reach part 3 and begin learning the ins and outs of noble society, it becomes obvious that the setting merely borrows late medieval/early modern germanic european aesthetics: the architecture, the clothing, the names, and other such surface features. however, those aesthetics are dressing up a social structure that is fully based on pre-modern china and japan.

elements such as:

- institutionalized polygamy

- the execution of entire families for the crimes of a single member

- the rampant horse-trading of children behind the scenes, as well as in public through adoption

- the merit-based succession system (as opposed to male-preference primogeniture)

- legal half-sibling marriage

- the divinely-appointed ruler (this is basically a theocracy after all)

- the very strict social hierarchy with no middle class to speak of

- the polytheistic religion

don’t fit with a late medieval/early modern germanic setting. however, they would all fit easily into certain time periods in medieval japanese or chinese society.

i think this is one of the things that makes bookworm’s world building feel so fresh compared to many other light novel fantasy series. kazuki-sensei managed to seamlessly blend elements from disparate societies to create one that feels at once familiar and unique.

man it feels like everyone in the swtor community has so much developed for their characters, it's intimidating! all these complex backgrounds and divergent plotlines and i'm over here just like "i made this guy, he's blue and has issues, please love him"

#rhys rambles #swtor #i know i have barely played for two months but i feel... inadequate #probably would help if my brain would allow me some coherent posts about the characters i do have thoughts for

[wolfynsong]

so i finally decided to start playing SWTOR in earnest, and as soon as i got to a public area someone gifted me 50 million credits???

i guess i can buy some nice looking armor...

#if that’s casual newbie gift numbers i am a little scared of this economy #swtor #rhys rambles #also i-if anyone wants to be friends...🥺

Like we all know jewelers are the most disposable damn petty bourgeois capitalist pawns out there but fuck they aren't even useful for what they claim to contribute to society. My gf and I found a gold necklace the other day so we went to Brown & Co to get it appraised at and the bitch at the counter wouldn't even look at it. She acted offended that we were even there and got all up in arms about wasting her time without an appointment on a weekend.

Meanwhile I texted a picture of it to my roommate and she was like "that inscription looks like Thai" and ended up being right. Million dollar fucking jewelry company couldn't do what a single Chinese economics student could in two seconds.

On being biracial, and the weird perception it can give you, as well as other people.

I believe I’ve mentioned a couple times before that I am biracial/mixed-race--I have a white father and black mother.

I look white, even though I’m technically not.

If I’m being totally honest, I’m not really sure what I am--I grew up in the tropics, went to school with mostly black/Hispanic kids, and my brother and I were two of the only ‘white’ kids in our primary school. It was really surreal--a lot of times as a kid I’d look at my hands and see how fair my skin was, compared to pretty much everyone around me, including my family members, and just feel like I stuck out, and I didn’t really ‘belong’ where I was (though that was also partly because Belize was a tiny, hot, humid country full of ignorant, and often uber religious), people.

I’ve seen media with mixed-race characters, even MAIN characters, and that’s awesome! I made a post some time back talking about how I love seeing mixed-race characters in media!

But I don’t think I’ve seen any who look like me.

Granted, genetics and skin color are a funny thing, I’ve seen stories of real life interracial couples having one white baby, and one black one. And it’s not like I’ve seen EVERY piece of media that happens to have mixed-race characters, maybe there is one out there that I simply don’t know about.

But from my experience, it kind of feels like most people’s idea of a mixed-race person with black and white parents is specifically someone with brown, or brownish, skin. This isn’t me trying to whine about ‘I’m being discriminated against for my fair skin!’ or anything like that, all of this is simply just my personal experiences, and observations.

Though I have been discriminated against, and abused. By one of my teachers, no less.

The worst teacher I ever had as a kid was a math teacher named Ms. Martinez, who seemed to love beating me, with a CANE, simply over stupid things, like getting my problems wrong. It was bad enough to leave bruises, and my parents NOTICED. Years later, my brother informed me that during a job, he overheard Martinez talking about how basically she hated everyone who wasn’t black. Granted, I’m not entirely sure if that’s the reason she targeted me, but again, I was one of the only ‘white’ kids at school; the evidence is pretty damning.

Speaking of my brother, last weekend we had a talk where he told me about an ex-coworker he had who said she ‘didn’t want any mixed-race kids’ with their boss. Certainly gives me some extra insight into that one post about people’s views on interracial relationships in general...

It also suddenly hit me a year or two ago that I have passing privilege, when a friend admitted to me that she didn’t go to church with me when we went to school in Florida because she was scared of the racism she saw around us.

Racism that I never saw or experienced, simply because I look white.

...to be honest, I’m not really sure what point I was trying to make with this. I’ve just...lived with a lot of weird experiences that are just, well, mixed.

It’s so nice to just be able to decide to turn the lights off, get cuddled up in bed, and watch some YouTube. Sometimes I forget that’s a choice I can make at 11:45 PM

#rhys rambles #rhys irl #is it partially because I keep getting up and grabbing snacks to eat even though my stomach hurts like hell? yeah #but it can also just be for the cozy factor

[saltpepperbeard]

i would just like to point out that rhys darby is giving an absolutely astounding performance on ofmd. every episode he is doing the absolute most. every expression, every tone, every line, every movement, every character beat. like he is the fucking star. he deserves absolutely fucking everything.

#i will simp until the day i die #he fucking astounds me #rhys darby #ofmd #ofmd stede #our flag means death #personal ramblings #ETA: THE WAY THE ORIGINAL POST CUT OFF LMAO #SNIPED #JUST SO STUPID IN LOVE I GOT TAKEN OUT AT THE END #LOST CONSCIOUSNESS

I think LU Wild should get the Jason Todd Treatment, as in a kid who died and didn't come back the same.

Like, being revived did lasting damage to him. He has nightmares about being trapped in the shrine and clawing his way out, he's forever a tad colder than the others, his blood runs tinged blue, ect. He's now some messed up, poor recreation of what he once was, what a human is supposed to be.

I also think he should get the Jason Todd Treatment, as in he contently makes jokes about it to a traumatized family.

Like, he's badly injured, and being scolded for being so reckless, because "You could have died Wild" And he's just like, "Eh, I would have been fine, fooled death once, fooled her a dozen times."

Dead silence across camp for like 10 seconds.

"...Too soon." "It was MY death what do you mean 'too soon'?!"

#Not written in their actual character voices but yall get the point #Hes a chaotic little fucker #Let him be silly about his death #Gonna write a chapter of 'The Inconveniences of Resurrection' thats just Wild making jokes about his death #Followed by awkward silence #linked universe #lu wild #rhys rambles

I’m half asleep while writing this and laughing my ass off while imagining this lol.

Imagine you’re arguing with Rhys over something stupid and you start to realize you’re wrong but won’t admit it so you just flash him your breasts and his mind just short circuits and completely forgets about the argument.

He wouldn’t know what to do with himself lol

It took me way too long to type this out. I just needed to get this out of my head before I fell asleep and forgot it.

OMG! I actually love this idea and have been thinking about it since you sent it. Like I cannot stop thinking about Rhys and all you all are fueling my LOVE for this male!!!! Send help!!!!

Arguing with Rhysand

to be honest, do I think you and Rhys have arguments over serious stuff frequently? No, absolutely not. For the most part, if you guys have an argument, it tends to be something that is resolved with a short, heated conversation and then hours of you both making it up to each other, especially with him on his knees with your legs thrown over his shoulders.

And you guys tend to agree with each other on the more serious stuff. You work together as a couple and as high lord and lady of the night court to solve some of the most complicated matters regarding the state of your court and inter-court relations.

But!!! I do think you tend to start silly arguments with him to mess with him. Rhys needs to be taken off his high horse, the arrogant male he can be, and who better perfect to do that than his mate, the love of his life, the brightest star in his night sky??

It would kinda go something like this:

"C'mon Rhysie, you can't be serious," with your arms folded over your chest, annoyed at your mate who is settled on the bed, long strong legs crossed with his arms behind his head, a smug glint in his pretty violet eyes.

"Oh Darling, you know I am right." his eyebrows are lifted, urging you to argue back with him, his fucking smirk sending tingles down your spine.

"No Rhysand. Honestly, you aren't," you tilt your chin up, hurrumphing at your mate. You honestly are shocked your mate is arguing with you about this.

The high lord of night court, death incarnate, the darkness of the night, is truly, actually, arguing with you that he cooks better than you.

That fucking feline, arrogant bastard.

"You couldn't even cook until I came into your life," you hiss at him, rolling your eyes at him when he snorts, his face bright as he throws his tattooed forearm over his eyes in obvious amusement.

"And?" he says, peaking out from under his arm with another smile tugging at his lips.

"And???" you gasp. That fucking...

"I cannot believe you right now, my lord," the last bit is muttered mockingly.

His nose scrunches, "Not the 'my lord' darling, it really is not that serious. It's okay my love. I cook better than you and that is okay. You don't even need to cook darling, you only ever have to sit with me while I cook and look pretty, as you always do."

"I just... you are so mean to me. I cannot believe you are even telling me this, like... I obviously cook so much better than you," your foot is tapping on the floor, and you're shifting from side to side, arms still crossed over your chest as you glare over at your mate who is clearly finding this entire encounter far too entertaining.

Rhys huffs out another laugh, sitting up and beckoning you to come to him by tapping at the empty space next to him in your bed, "C'mere darling, it's alright, I just have more of a refined palate than you, and that means that I cook better."

You gasp at the audacity. "Rhysand!" You cannot believe this male.

His eyes twinkle with the stars of his court, "Sweetheart?"

"Take it back. Right now. I can cook better. I have cooked far longer, and I can cook a variety of things. Like roast chicken, and braised beef, and rice, and bread, and- "

"Are you telling me that I do not come home to windows that are open from you airing out the smoke of the bread you quite often burn to a crisp?" He stands from the bed, slowly approaching you like you are a frightened deer about to run off, hands raised like he is all innocent and is not being a complete baffoon right now.

Your mouth falls open, "You did not just go there," -- "Oh I did just go there beautiful" -- "You did not just go there! You asshole!" -- "Am I wrong gorgeous?" -- "I cannot even look at you right now." -- "C'mere pretty girl, I miss you"

"Oh no, you did this to yourself, don't even think about it, Mister." you sneer, backing away until you hit the wall, desperately thinking of a way to get him to take back his words.

"S'alright angel, c'mere. Come to your most handsome, darling high lord and tell him he cooks better than you, it's okay, you can admit it."

THE FUCKING NERVE OF THIS MALE. YOU CANT BREATHE.

And then it hits you.

As he continues to goad you, "C'mon baby, say it, Rhysand is the better cook, your mate is the better cook, your love is the better cook," finally reaching you, placing his hands on either side of you on the wall as he leans down, staring down at your with his heated breathe and pretty smile brushing over your lips.

"that's it love, c'mon, just a simple five words, 'you are the better co-"

His voice trails off into the ether, his pupils blowing, his hands splayed out next to you clenching into fists as he tightens his jaw, eyes utterly entranced by your tits that you decided to flash at him.

You lift up your brow, smirking at him while leaning back to give him a better view of your tits, "you were saying dear?"

He sucks in a sharp breath through his teeth, eyes not wavering from your pert breasts, the cool breeze sneaking in from the balcony tightening your nipples, "What?"

Your hand comes to rest on his chest, pushing at him with no success, the male stuck in place, the air surrounding you suddenly charged, "What is it you were saying Rhysie?"

"I uhh, I dunno love, I... you... you are..."

"Yes?" you peak up at him through your eyelashes, his chest heaving as he gazes down at you, hooded eyes finally meeting yours.

He hums, "You are exquisite darling," his arm sneaking around your waist to pull you flush against him, your tits rubbing at his bare chest when he presses his lips to your ear, "You are enchanting, and bewitching my mate."

anyway, uhhhh, by the time you are through with him, he does not remember ever saying he was the better cook. But he swears to you and the mother that if it gets you to ride him like that again, he will say it until the day you both become stardust.

Sorry this wasn't that good, but you get the drift I hope

so i always like to poke at the raid scene in any mmo i try, and i have to say, the ops in this game are really fun. i've mostly stuck to story mode so far, but have just begin venturing into vet with a friendly guild that adopted me. i like that most ops have pretty simple but enjoyable baseline encounters, with more mechanics layered on as you choose to do the more challenging modes.

i get the vibe that swtor people on tumblr tend to be solo players, who prefer to avoid group content for various reasons. (no shade, i get it, i have anxiety too.) but with how low pressure some of the sm ops are, i really do recommend checking them out if you haven't.

that said, if anyone is ever looking for a chance to try them and wants some guidance or just a friendly face, i would be happy to help :)

#i'm honestly kind of surprised i haven't seen some kind of guild for the community on here #there were a few tumblr-sourced guilds in gw2 i remember #though i left them over some drama sooo maybe that is why heh #rhys rambles #swtor
