It was only to make Duncan jealous, Courtney reminded herself. Then why did Heather's soft lips feel so good pressed against hers?

Thinking about how Astarion insisted on staying up to keep watch in the beginning of the game

Yeah, it could be because he needs to go hunt at night without anyone noticing, or because he's keeping an eye out for Cazador/his minions. But... It could also be because he's scared of sleeping/trancing in general?

He's got severe C-PTSD. I have that too. And one of the things I experience from it is a fear of falling asleep.

Sleeping is vulnerability. You're completely defenseless. It's terrifying to fall asleep when you're used to danger! And some abusers will purposefully do things to you when you sleep. I wouldn't put it past Cazador to have done something like that.

It's especially terrifying when you're sleeping somewhere unfamiliar, or as out and open as a forest. With strangers.

Add in the elvish reverie (if we assume Astarion still experiences it as he would if he were alive at his current age)... and he might even be reliving horrible memories every time he tries to rest.

(If you're unfamiliar with elvish trancing/dreaming, I made a post about it and some ways it might affect Astarion as a vampire spawn a while ago)

One of the reasons I think this could be the case is actually the other spawn, specifically what I noticed when we first meet Dalyria and Petras. At first I thought Astarion's eye bags were just a product of being undead. But... Petras, the very human looking spawn, doesn't have that. Dalyria is an elf as well, and like Astarion, she's got some of that tired sleep-deprived purple under and around her eyes.

So all this considered... I think it's very possible that Astarion has a fear of sleeping too. Or at the very least, trouble resting. Him and the other elvish spawn.

It also makes me wonder if he sleeps any better later on in the game. By Act 3 he probably feels more comfortable with you and the group. Sleeping near familiar people (especially people you're very comfortable with, but that's very dependant on your own choices in your game), and having established night time routines can make sleeping feel a little safer.

Plus by that point he's made many new memories he can visit in his reverie. Maybe instead of remembering the terrible things, sometimes he dreams of sun bathing, the first time he bit you or that bear, or any other happy memory he's created since being tadpoled.

Maybe for the first time in centuries, sleeping isn't such a terrible prospect.

#bg3 #astarion #text post #its just something thats been on my mind #my fear of sleep is bad enough that i usually cant fall asleep without pushing myself to the point of passing out #or sometimes i need to take a sedative just to manage it #so i wonder how bad it is for him given that he doesnt have the option of sedation #it makes for some interesting headcanons/ideas though #pretty sure a druidic Tav can offer to put together an herbal tea to help him sleep #what if that sort of thing worked and it became a nightly routine? #i assume he can drink tea given that he can drink alcohol #or if you've romanced him #would sleeping near Tav help? #i know sometimes its easier for me to sleep when im around someone im comfortable with #though sometimes it has the opposite effect and it makes it harder to sleep because i feel like i need to be extra alert to protect them #trauma really does a number on you #act 3 spoilers #bg3 act 3 spoilers #astarion spoilers #bg3 spoilers #q

I like the plotline in stampede where vash finds the other seeds ship right after the big fall I like playing around with that idea a bit 😇 (no ship)

#vash hating knives for what he did but knowing why he did it and just wanting his brother back GRRRR #they make me absolutely fucking insane (if you could not tell) #ugh and vash having to leave home (the other seeds ship) because as long as knives knew he was there no one in that ship was safe #bc knives would literally burn through cities if he thought it would keep him and vash safe #(SPOILER ALERT HES FUCKING WRRONGGG !!!!!!!! HOME COULD'VE BEEN GOOD BUT HE CONSTANTLY SELF SABOTAGES !) #i dont care btw. #also yes I like a stampede plotline very rare from me. 😭 I cant only be a hater okay I can admit when they do good. ✋🙄 #I like this a lot more than them saving him as an adult in the manga #because it shows that vash can have stability and safety if he trusts others while knives is like starving alone in the desert because #he cant trust anyone but vash (who left him because hes insane so now hes totally ALONNE) #trigun #millions knives #my art #vash the stampede #trigun fanart

ookay fine yes maybe I saw a yonderland out of context video and watched the first episode what about it.

#cant get over 'doesnt seem very impressive' 'trevor youre a BLOB' #so yes im obsessed with the weird gay guy ben willbond plays. the elder. #i literally just watched episode one no spoilers #like i thought i understood vaguely what its about and i watched the out of context vid #and had LESS of an idea what its about #anyway 'cant i just call you elf' '... bit racist.' made me CHOKE #the absolute out of pocket-ness... insanity #idk where the name 'the six idiots' came from but #new hyperfixation alert? perhaps #just. the way its an ensemble of people playing a rotating cast is very fun #i like it. the theater of it is very good #very ofmd honestly #i like my tv shows to not take themselves seriously and be absolutely absurd #but with a deep sadness and melancholic triumph of the human spirit and kindness if you think about it for more than 8 seconds #thats my kind of tv #ANYWAY #yonderland #sigh #jennie watches yonderland

as soon as a horror essayist starts talking about how depicting some horrific topics is just “in poor taste” or “offends people’s sensibilities too much” & thus specific horrific themes of any given nature shouldn’t be addressed in horror well. I lose all interest anyway even if the rest of what the person was saying was interesting

#rose.txt #horror #just saying #since I gave up on finishing the movie I continued the video essay discussing quiet horror #that referenced skinamarink & motivated me to finally watch the movie #(so I could finish the essay without spoilers) & spoiler alert - #not worth it! the essay veered off in a wildly pretentious anti onscreen violence pro censorship direction lmao 💀 #cant a girl watch a video essay on subtle horror in peace 😔 #also this is coming from a person who for many years could not touch anything with certain topics #due to triggers in the actual diagnosed clinical definition of the term #even so I don’t think there’s any horrific topic that should actually be BANNED #being pro censorship automatically makes me lose interest in your opinions. basically #like as a horror fan how can you be pro censorship

[shenyaanigans]

the journey of a writer is you begin writing just for the sake of writing and often hand wave details that aren't that important to you to get to the fun bits. then you decide you want to improve and you go through a rigorous process of thinking about lots of mechanics and abiding by sense and rationality, because the most damning insult to a piece of fiction is testing the reader's suspension of disbelief too much. this level of self criticism then colors the interpretation of other texts as well, where they are held to a particular standard where every detail must be perfectly logical, well researched, and contain no contradictions (cinema sins, if you will). nirvana is when you realize that doesn't matter and you go back to hand waving details that aren't that important to you.

#kat chats #i know i complained on my priv twitter abt smth like this but i just saw ANOTHER post of this caliber #i'm SO close to doing a deep dive on the suspension of disbelief and its merit as a method of literary criticism #spoiler alert i feel very strongly that if your criticism could be easily suspended through narrative buy in its not a valid critique #or at the very least the buck Does Not Stop at you not believing the author. you have to answer the question why #'it's not compelling because i'm not immersed' ok. why. what's broken the immersion #like. idk. sometimes there are interesting discussions to be had wrt narrative risk vs narrative payoff vs suspension of disbelief #and the fact of the matter is some narrative risk on the part of the author can lead to MUCH greater pay off #can lead to truly affecting art #and sometimes the narrative risk does not have a high enough reward to justify itself #sometimes this happens for only some people and other times this happens for large swathes of the population #shaping what literature we societally say is Good vs Bad #it's a good discussion to have in craft circles and to be aware of #but ultimately stories without narrative risk are almost meaningless. if they're even stories at all #and also sometimes your issue with suspension of disbelief comes down to pedantry #and forgive me but being a pedant does not make for good literary criticism #actually it makes you incredibly bad at it #you can't see the forest for the trees. you cant see the story for the extremely niche nitpicks that do nothing but buff your own ego #remind yourself that reading is not just a self indulgent exercise. you are entering a conversation where you have to listen for a long tim #and you must make meaning of all those words #you are not required to continue going through something that doesn't speak to you #anyways...

am i the only one who always thought that kanata possibly have anger management issues or is it just me

#paradox live #paralive #pararai #cozmez #kanata yatonokami #🍡 ;; shut up vanie #i know it never mentioned in canon but as someone who have anger management issues i kinda think kanata would have one #especially the fact he always get so violent when someone dare to touch nayuta (even those who wanna befriend him like allen) #but somehow shiki is the only one who got 'you can interact with nayuta' by kanata which is odd #i feel like he only gets angry when someone who dare to approach nayuta is a random stranger or abusive adults #also his yt shorts during trust battle is full of yells and tantrums #he threws tantrum a lot and burst into anger easily #oh i also think he would have mommy issues knowing his childhood #he probably have abandonment issues too. especially the fact he's so extremely clingy to nayuta that he had to create an illusion of him+ #+because he cannot accept that nayuta is dead (spoiler alert: nayu is actually alive and doing fine) #i cant worded this properly its 1 am in my country here
