I always feel so out of place even in system communities. Does anyone else relate at all??

Like, idk some system memes are cool and relatable bc obviously not everything is gonna line up, but so much of it doesn't click with us.

We've almost never been put off by the voices, we all wanna communicate, we don't think less of each other or think 1 deserves more front time than anyone else, etc. Idk, there's so many memes about denial and eating each other's food and all this distress. Which is i know, a major part of many system's lives. Part of what makes a meme is the repeatability and a lot of systemhood IS struggles in that area.

But what about systems who do everything right (in the sense that we have healthy coping and such)? What about systems who unconditionally love each other and dissociative barriers are something we work around instead of fighting? What about the systems who love the voices?

#this comes off as abilistic i know im gonna get some bs from this #but listen. listen to me. ur allowed to struggle and this post isnt about/for u if ur gonna get mad or defensive #im talking systems well on their path through purposeful recovery #systems years into studying themselves and having full comfort and understanding within. full love. full acceptance. #i want memes and content that isnt medicalized and saying the same stuff over and over and over and over #all this misery. where is the system content where we're just being plural and silly. im so tired #dont even start on syscourse like its so bad in here #smells like stinky #system babbles #osdd #actually osdd #minor vent? #system posting #memes #did #actually did #actually traumatized #actually traumagenic #endo safe #syscourse dni #positivity

The announcement | The blog message

Discord is changing their username system. as an example change: the account User#7235 would change their username to @ user, with an additional profile nickname (like Twitter has), on top of server nicknames-- and that's IF you manage to get your desired username in the first place.

Please leave feedback on Discord's feedback site if you're opposed to this change.

#i haven't even covered problems that this system will CAUSE here #but that's alllll in the feedback forum....... its all the same thing and its all so correct. i hope they listen...... #also to be noted is that i think you can just not change your username and nothing will happen... #although that only 'fixes' one aspect. and only even about 25% of a fix #it's a mess. #discord #polls #tpolls #blast babbles #options 5 and 6 are by far the stupidest reasons they gave for this smfh #also this is my first poll idk how well it's formatted lol #yeet

Thank you for removing the romance between Gray Wing and Turtle Tail, I personally never really liked that ship. Not sure why, but I like them better as friends.

I ALSO like them better as friends, but to be totally fair, I also just don't like Gray Wing lmaoooooo

He's awful in-canon. He's everything terrible about how the writers portray "nice guys" and ALL of his romances were trash. All FOUR of them.

He's totally oblivious to how Bright Stream is being pressured into leaving the mountain, because he's thirsting about how lucky his brother is to have such a beautiful woman as a mate. Then he gets her killed by tripping like a teenager in a horror movie during Eagle Quicktime Event 44 and mopes about it, until they decide her death was Nobody's Fault :)

Storm is really not that into him, she's pretty obviously just friendly and polite, but he spends all his time with her anyway neglecting all of his other friendships. Until Storm has a Hotel Transylvania ass ZING moment looking into Clear Sky's Baby Blue Eyes and falls in true love. Gray Wing doesn't notice this, of course, and gets dumped. Then when she runs off while pregnant later he just lets her, so that he can have a casual chit-chat with his brother over some guy's dead corpse.

He was treating Turtle Tail like ABSOLUTE shit the entire time he was courting Storm, screaming at her about having the wrong friends, not giving her the time of day, and when Storm dumps him he goes crawling back to her only to find out she's moving in with Bumble.

And then later he sneers about a fat woman trying to escape domestic abuse, this is a series for kids where he's framed as the good guy

and he gets to have a Wowowowow Sooo Cooool moment SAVING TURTLE TAIL FROM TOM THE WIFEBEATER, because it's as if the ONLY reason poor fucking Turtle Tail exists as a character is to serve HIS arc. Before she gets turned into a pancake by a car so he can be sad about it

And then, after THREE women have already died in various awful ways so that Gray Wing can feel bad, Slate fades into existence like a powerpoint slide halfway through the series. Now he can finally have his own children, who don't drop him the minute they find out he's not their biodad

Where was Slate before? We don't know! We killed off so many women that we had to beam in new ones. Just replace them. They're basically all interchangeable and Gray Wing was such a good boy, he "deserves" a reward.

So, for my AU... GOD no. Not happening. None of these relationships were worth salvaging, imo. Gray Wing dies in the first book like GOD INTENDED.

#bone babble #your honor. i hate him #also in BB xeir pronouns are xey/xem because BLASTED with the third gender beam. trinyary gender system my beloved #DOTC hate #Btw you can filter my DOTC hate by adding that to your tag filters #I had an influx and I'm sorry everyone new <3 I am the notorious hater <3

This is pretty low effort, but I wanted to draw Cumplane bickering.

Or just Sqq bickering at Sqh about plot holes

Assorted thoughts about Astarion's epilogue that I have only seen in video because patch 4 broke my save files and I have to replay the whole thing to get there.

From what I've seen everyone's good endings seem a little... overly good and free of consequence? But at the same time I haven't seen everything with my own eyes and everyone deserves to be happy, so whatever. If I want angst, there's fic.

Sooo... is it that unromanced Astarion disappeared after the scene at the docks and nobody could find him, or did you assholes just not try? I will be generous and assume the former.

Stop stabbing the table you little gremlin. ...although I'd probably enjoy doing that, if I could get away with it.

I still hate that outfit with the ruff.

Not surprised Larian is doubling down on the "no cure" angle. I don't really care if Astarion remains a vampire or if he goes the cure route, so long as he's happy - although I do think in his shoes I'd look for some way to day-walk anyway, on practical grounds alone.

Hiding a knife behind his back while asking an unromanced Durge if they're showing any signs of being under Bhaal's control... I adore a pragmatic bastard.

---"I could've told you that [you can kill people in a socially acceptable manner]" ---"You realise I don't actually pay attention when you talk, right?" ^This is why I both love him with all my soul and also want to push him off a roof.^

Delighted and validated by Astarion feeding by taking jobs as a bounty hunter or something like that. That was 100% what Vel was suggesting to him post game. Like "Hey, have you considered bounty hunting? if my memories of killing people for fun and profit, and the last month or two of everyone suddenly celebrating instead of getting mad when I murder has taught me anything; if you eat the people the majority want dead, you can have all the blood and money you can get your teeth into and nobody will have a problem with it."

And then there's Ascended Astarion... who I will put under a read more to save space and for those who'd like to avoid the uglier side of endings.

So I don't think Larian read the supplement Van RIchten's Guide to Vampires (it's from 1992, but as far as I know it's also still the most comprehensive write up of D&D vampire lore, and some of it still looks to apply here (or at least, it can).)

But the first thing I thought of, watching him constantly turn into a bat, is that it reminded me of the vampire psychological development stages. Stage one is where a vampire is drunk on their shiny new powers and just will not stop showing them off. (Stage two is the "find out" stage of the fuck around process, where the vampire discovers they're not as invincible as they believed and descends into full blown, paranoid monstrosity.)

Then "I will be watching." "I/We need to eavesdrop on everybody."... Oh, the paranoia. How's that thing where the curse of vampirism is twisting the trauma and fear going for you, my dude?

"I'll never forget the time we spent together, though. And I know you'll never forget about me. Until next time, darling." ...might be his expression or the datamined epilogues where he still wants his ex, but that feels like a threat to me? Might just be a jab after being dumped...

And, oh yeah, we're definitely looking at vampire bride/groom tier stuff here: Just sit on the decorative pedestal I built for you and look pretty until I'm in the mood to take you down and play with you. Stop complaining about how you're bored and want freedom!

The PC isn't weak by any measure, they could become a rival.. AA isn't my ending of choice, but I am morbidly fascinated with the concept of Tav and Astarion as toxic vampire divorcees: Two angry, powerful "lovers to enemies" vampire lords "sharing" territory; passing the centuries obsessing over each other; fighting each other; sometimes maybe hate-fucking, and generally making their bad relationship everyone's problem.

#AA isn't my ending (it's an angsty AU “what could've been” for me) but I'd love to put him in a jar and shake it. #more vampire lore babbling; and I thought I'd exorcised it all... #Somebody should probably take the knife off of Astarion but it's not going to be Vel #Who did not learn the lessons he was supposed to over the course of this adventure #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #astarion #astarion ancunin #...I may regret putting this into the tag system #bg3 spoilers

my biggest issue with romancing the bachelor/ettes in sdv is that in order for me to create a new save and actually pursue a character i Have to make an oc with a unique personality that also has good chemistry with said character or else i just wont do it 😭 i want to experience the other characters' heart events for myself but im so incredibly ocpilled i cant bring myself to do it without writing an oc with dynamics im satisfied with.. which i am very picky about BAH

#and i wont make a farmer/save w my name cuz im not really drawn to/“simp” for any of the bachelor/ettes myself it Has to be a prewritten oc #liek i cant tell u how badly i want to play the sam shane haley routes but i simply cannot bc i havent come up with an oc idea i like that- #-have good chemistry with said bachelor/ette #i do this to myself rlly. its been encoded in my brain system #curses... curses upon my own home... #eon babbles

i love changing forms being something only Mutant icejin can do, like a gene exclusive Almost entirely to Friezas family. its why him having multiple forms at all is so mysterious that apparently in the frieza saga its a big secret that he is much, much stronger than he pretends to be. i think it adds value to their extreme power, making them even freaks among their own species, the Cold Family is strange and ungodly powerful so what can you do but suck up to them?

#it would help with how you can turn golden (a form more to do with power) but cant Transform in xv2 #which is Really just bc of limitations of the system that suck bc they only care about saiyans but yknow #it would add to it #we meet other icejin in universe 7 and they see frieza transform and go 'idk...scary' #babbling

I've been rewatching Blackwall romance scenes and it keeps blowing my mind away. here is a few of my favorite things:

his story is almost entirely separated from the central templars and mages conflict, so it feels very local and private, despite having affected a lot of people

he's one of the older companions with a lot of varied experience, and his life as Blackwall feels like a lifetime after a lifetime before

romance with him starts out with some pretty spicy flirting but evolves into a very passionate, but also very gentle love

he's one of the rarest examples in the series that a character can make horrible mistakes but owns up to them and makes active changes to his life and people around him to make things better. atonement, not just redemption.

the way he hesitates between duty, truth and his affection for the Inquisitor does things to my heartrate

you literally don't learn quite a bit of his story if you don't romance him. normally I'm not a fan of that, but the fact that he chooses to tell the Inquisitor those things is so touching

the way that man kisses the Inquisitor

#I might add more later but I just need this out of my system #thinking about my inquisitor and Blackwall is holding my heart hostage #dragon age #dragon age inquisition #inquisitor x blackwall #warden blackwall #adrift babbles

ADHD and me aren’t on the best of terms with cleaning my room

But I do have some factors that’s helping to work a bit, so just wanna share (definitely not procrastinating for a moment on the cleaning):

-Listening to a stim playlist that’s fast paced; Keeps my brain stimulated and hyped with dopamine to let me push through with sorting through stuff

-Working in small sections; Like going with “Clear all the books off my bed” instead of “Clear my bed” as it helps make it a little less overwhelming than the overall task at hand

-Having a ‘deadline’ to meet; I have relatives coming up soon that need my room to stay in, so having that coming up fast helps fuel the need for a panic-fueled drive to get moving; Even if you don’t have guest coming, having the idea of a deadline you need to meet to get the thing clean may help push you to get it done

-Having the idea that someone is going to go into your room to clean things up instead of you can get myself moving to get cleaning, as I’ve seen with other ADHDers and Autistic folks, having someone ‘threaten’ to go clean your space can be stressing and to avoid having them go in to where needs to be cleaned can drive you to go get it done before they get the chance

These are definitely not a catch all advice and stuff, but some strategies to have in mind that could potentially help, and I hope that someone can find this helpful!

If anyone else has any advice or strategies of their own to add, please do! You are more than welcome to share and I would be happy to see what else that could be helpful c:

Rather try to connect with the ADHD tumblr community than search google and get shit like this as ‘helpful advice’:

But has anyone actually stopped and considered that Shermy and Beth was not shoved in but a beautiful perfect little symbolic way to help Simon sccept the change and grieve healthier? Bc think about it. That's just his own writing. Its the version of him that's accepted what actually happened and maybe creates a new story for those to follow not in his footsteps, but in learning his lessons? And who better to teach him what she's trying to express than himself, when shes so. That. You know.

Doctrine, like Nures was exposed to concentrated madness and so to keep stable he removes and assimilates the brains of chosen donors (random citizens) to sustain his hivemind with fresh uncorrupted mind "the sanity drive" the Circut can transport people and items like blood, the fastest form of travel and also the most uncomfortable lol

A few places are untouched by the Circut, mostly seaside or full of unpleasant textures like forests and underground

#my ocs #doodle dudes #babbles cuz im bored #Doctrine is a hivemind where he completely assimilates the bodies and only his consciousness remains #hes also rooted all over the Alias co building as a biological security system #it's pretty hard to try escaping or breaking in without going under a vent by accident

Me, a very normal person when I see Robbie Daymond and Anjali Bhimani in the Candela Obscura trailer: Okay if they've been on set and Aabria has been on set recently here's how we can get a new EXU and a little more Dorian Storm in our lives.

Firestar getting treated to a character assassination after The Darkest Hour is my villain origin story tbh

You can see the EXACT moment where the brain worms go terminal when Tigerstar dies in front of him, and he starts going "oooga booga he was strong and noble and had good traits... well need him to fight all these evil foreigners..." Just ceremorphose already, this is #NotMyFirestar

#Fennelposting #Bone babble #I know some ppl like the idea of him being broken over time by a cruel system and becoming an enforcer of what once bound him #But I Don't. #It just reminds me of how the Erins were were so scared of ever challenging the status quo that their own books scared them lmaoooo #They had to GO BACK and retcon a bunch of excuses for why uhhh everyone was just mislead they really did love their clans :( #If it's your thing I get it. But it just makes me think of how they massacred my boy y'know? #I prefer the idea of killing him earlier. Let the leaders live with this sudden and violent change in leadership #Talk about how radical people like Fire aren't ALLOWED to hold power for long in such a system
