#tea babbles

[y-rhywbeth2]

Still haven't decided what I think of Gortash's relationship to his religion (or how to word it), but I'm going to try and babble about it anyway. For narrative reasons, I kind of want him to be the middle ground between my interpretations of my Durge (absolute blind, desperate fanaticism) and Ketheric (misotheist, in this for purely transactional reasons).

Like his ties to Bane are based in both transaction and faith: Bane's dogma is correct - or it's the gist of how the world "really works", at least.

"The world is made stronger by mighty and ordered rule" "Tyrannize and destroy the weak, so that all in time become better and stronger." "Laws and rules, not wanton chaos, should reign."

Yay, industry, let's get the giant machine that is society improving and running to standards. The gears of the world do indeed move according to the interactions between the powerful and those who serve. Uncontrolled chaos is undesirable; a firm hand with a death grip on society's jugular is genuinely for the best. You can't trust other people to be competent tyrants so you'd better do it yourself. etc.

Besides, Gortash's worldview appears to be "fuck those born rich for their unearned privilage; also screw the poor who are too weak to better themselves; only people like me who worked themselves to the bone from nothing deserve the power and respect that we/I demanded and took." Bane, the slave from another world who tore the spark of divine power from his former masters, made himself a god and made his former master kneel? I think Bane probably counts as worthy in from that view. Ultimate self-made jackass.

It's transactional, and coloured by his stay in the outer planes, where gods are not as much of a Thing. Having Bane for a boss brings benefits that I suppose outweigh the downsides. Everyone serves a master, whether they blind themselves to it or not, and he picked this one.

But he entered Bane's service with open eyes. He requires Bane's approval because he wants the rewards that come with good service and to avoid the punishments that come with failure. Bane merely compliments Gortash's world, unlike Durge whose entire world is Bhaal.

I love my character in The Golden Rose so much. His stat screen is basically like

#the golden rose #he's a sweet anxious marshmallow with minimal combat skills who mostly talks his way out of trouble #which makes it extra-hilarious #babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter) #also this game has managed to join the like. four things Ever. where I've liked a human fighter dude LI. #Hadrian is just Very Good #I did have to play his romance on a dude so he didn't start with a clear crush because otherwise the aro Nope fired #but playing a dude makes it opt-in and thus avoids that and now I'm happy as a pig in mud about it #anyway yes this is a game rec

i forget that since the live UDAD album isnt available for sale anywhere (though it CAN be acquired most easily through the transcript drive here) people might not have heard this excellent bickering

#You should be aware that you will be funding it’s tea habit. #the mechanisms #udad #jukebox #babble

only good thing in my life this week is that the HUGE teacups I've been lusting after for like a year in the garden isle of the supermarket are ON SALE at half price

#I'm going to use it as a fucking bowl #it's going to be AWESoME #babbles blabbles #I twisted my ankle this morning on the left #and I was already limping on my right #so now I limp on both legs smh #BUT I GOT MY BIGASS TEA CUP WOOOOh

#bean babbles #im looking so hard at this cup of tea rn #i thought i would have more time to drink it #but i didnt

I’m having so many thoughts about corruption/teaching with Welt I cannot cope. I just know he’d be so agonisingly slow and patient and unflappable while showing you how it’s done, while in his own head marvelling at how soft and warm and shy you are and how determined he is to make you scream his name-

I’m fine. (Is not fine)

you are so right, anon. just something about a patient man willing to wait, to guide you slowly through everything, to make sure that what he teaches you is nothing but pleasure . . . until you can’t think straight, until all you know is his voice and gentle murmurs and praise of how well you’re doing, that’s right - and to think he is doing it out of the goodness of his heart, indulging you in your little crush - when the truth is that welt has been imagining what you’d look like at his mercy from the moment you stepped foot on the express.

#nat.txt #hsr posting #always had a strategically placed book or table in front of his crotch when you’d come rushing up to him full of #bubbling questions and bright eyes #excuses himself to jerk off when you fall over yourself to bring him tea and babble out ‘sir’ and ‘mr yang’ #catches a glimpse down your shirt or up your skirt and sketches it from memory the moment he’s alone #he’s guilty about it but . . . oh that look in your eyes. that secret crush nurtured like a flower about to bloom #how easy it would be for him . . . and how quickly you would let it happen #he’d make sure it was like your daydreams. your naivety is so appealing. he’d let you keep it for a little longer #not sfw text #corruption kink cw

The way Minthara goes "surface food lacks flavors" reminds me of how Asian moms/aunties complain about non-Asian food. Like, "What is this flavor? It's so bland I can wash my bowls with it." On the other hand, their highest food critic/compliment is probably "The desserts aren't too sweet." And don't get me started with how they will complain about the sun giving their skin complexions.

#Minthy's boba tea order is prob just tea #0% sugar 10% ice no boba #is it me or drows are the Asians of dnd even some of the food I look up like Viets have that #but sweet tooth Minthy hc is cute too #Minthy in nón lá would be hilarious though lol #'hell is too hot' *takes off nón lá and starts using it like a fan* #she's probably a Vespa girl #bg3 babbles #minthara brainrot

the problem with my little stashbuster crochet project is that at any time i set it down to go do something else it MUST be secured so that the trolls that live in my home (the cats) do not drag it across the floor and weave it through the legs of the dining room table like wretched little spiders

#i was making tea this morning and my cat owner senses detected Mischief and sure enough my stashbuster was On The Floor #and in both the living room and the dining room #babbles

I love it when you see someone come across your blog who is clearly there for One Specific Thing

like, you get a flurry of likes that are all from One Specific Tag

and then they vanish back into the mists

every time I'm like :D 'the tags! doing what they're supposed to do!'

and also like, cupping my hands around my mouth to holler 'HI YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE I LOVE YOU HAVE A NICE DAY' as they drive away

#babble tea (blacklist this for less chatter) #I'm sure I've said this before #but it is always delightful

maybe my toxic workplace trait is that I'm a snob about tea, but one day my director poured some tapwater in a carton gobelet over a lipton teabag and microwaved it for one minute before handing it to me so actually I'm the traumatized one here and they should give me a kettle with a thermometer and a triple 3-5-8 minutes hourglass as legal compensation

#I was organizing my tea samples and it made me remember #I only use the most expensive most delicious tea brands out there #do you know how hard it is not to say anything when you watch your coworker actually bring the water to a boil? #I'm the annoying colleague who talks about the differences in chocolate and pepper taste by brand and country of origin #I'm not a snob I swear I'm just very into foods tasting the best they can ever taste #why would you settle for a food you could easily make better #people need to live a little #I'll keep sharing my delicious teas but I'm brewing them myself not giving them out I don't trust like that #babbles blabbles
