This is legitimately a very good example about how game design is often a magicians trick. It is smoke, mirrors, and presentation. The right amount of lie and truth to put someone into the same mindset, evoke a mood, encourage a type of behavior...

i'm a writer irl (can't say who because my agent would put me into a blender and press go) and honestly the funniest and most humiliating incident of my life was the time my finished manuscript triggered a plagiarism flag with the publisher for two lines of prose in my literary fiction novel...

.... which was word for word similar to a paragraph in a certain explicit work on FFN starring elrond and his batsman from the hobbit films, aka that one elf that looked like he ate panic attacks for breakfast (i forget his name but it's Figwit II) where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment.

and if you think i had to sit in front of one if the biggest publishing companies in the world and admit that it was, in fact, me who wrote the fic where the lord of imladris bends said twink over his writing desk and gives him the battering ram treatment in order to avoid being wrongly flagged for plagiarism, you would be absolutely correct.

(yes they published the book)

This takes a lot of courage in a lot of important ways good job OP

like to charge reblog to cast

The one real HRT milestone that matters is the first time a cat steps on your boobs and it hurts

Okay but for real if you live in Maricopa County and voted by mail PLEASE go check the county recorder's webpage to make sure you didn't get flagged for a signature issue!! Apparently something like 12k are still waiting to be cured and we need every single one of those votes to send Kari Lake back to the fucking shadow realm where she belongs and also REPLACE Kyrsten Sinema with someone who's not going to do a stupid little curtsy while they tank progressive policies in the Senate!!

THERE IS STILL TIME PLS CHECK IF YOU LIVE THERE!!! Also maybe check even if you don't live there, I made sure mine got counted in Pima, we can make Blue Arizona happen!!! Check your ballots!!!!

IF YOU LIVE IN NEVADA CHECK YOUR BALLOTS AND ALSO ANSWER YOUR PHONE THEY MIGHT CALL YOU TO TRY TO FIX A REJECTED BALLOT!!!!

i’ve done multiple origin astarion runs because he’s one of my favorite characters and devastates me beyond what i can put into words, but also because it’s so fucking funny to play as him and see firsthand how this man, a Rogue, and an extremely proficient liar with literal centuries of practice, is utter shit at hiding the fact that he’s a vampire.

this man says things like “running water usually burns... but now... who knows?” when walking along the beach, in direct earshot of shadowheart. he gets clocked within seconds by auntie ethel where she extremely obviously outs him, and his unique origin response is “clever woman” or something. instead of “what? no! perish the thought!” even though the whole party is right there. omeluum even specifically calls him “child of the dark.”

the best bit of it i think is when i was romancing wyll— accomplished monster hunter who no doubt knew what astarion was after one glance— with him and decided to tell him the truth (after quicksaving in case i got instant staked) and wyll’s reaction was to smile sweetly and basically go “well yeah, duh. you really thought you were subtle?”

it was so humbling that i felt embarrassed FOR him. world’s least subtle vampire spawn. love him.

We’re fanfiction writers, of course:

Astarion x Dark Urge Chapter 22 -- All Fun and Games, Until It's Not Rating: E Tags: Angst, Fluff, hurt/comfort, slow burn

Chapter Summary:

The tension which hung in the pits had finally released. Even Rose's held breath was free with the druid's agreement to trust in her plans. The group gathered around Halsin asking questions of their own; many of which took their leader by surprise. With respect for the time they already spent, the only request she made of her team was to keep questions short and direct. They needed the druid to disappear, and they had to return to Minthara before she became suspicious of their lengthy absence.

"I don't suppose you know anything about The Absolute's plans for a Duke of the Gate?" Wyll asked with hesitant hope on his tongue.

“𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕. 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒎, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰’𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔.”

“Don’t ask me how I did it, I just did it it. It was hard.” 😂 Seriously guys, I have no idea. I just had inspiration and went with it.

Doing this slightly broke me 🥲

Things that work in fiction but not real life

This post breaching containment has taught me that a lot of people seem to think they can accurately profile complete strangers. For the record, no the fuck you can't.

A type of bunny lol

"how can m/f ships be good-" first of all through the power of bisexuality anything is possible so write that down. second of all if we start othering ships based on gender and nothing else we're no better than the opposition. third of all you need to watch more addams family

Tav: I want to hear those three little words.

Astarion: I love you.

Tav: That's sweet. Try again.

Astarion: *pouts and crosses arms* Fine. I will behave.

*Astarion did not behave. Later that day, he went on a goblin killing spree and got in a fight with an old lady.*
