Enigma's Escape

The best part about tumblr is that, when I block a person or tag, I never see them. They’re actually blocked. It’s like a little digital restraining order, I love it. Unlike fucking TikTok where I’ll block people but still see stitches of them. Or I’ll explicitly state that I’m not interested in certain tags and they still appear on my fyp. I don’t wanna see ATYD content! I never read it and I’m never gonna read it, FUCK OFF MY FYP ALREADY!!!!!

Torn between missing seeing light of my life Sharon Carter on-screen cause she’s so underutilized in the MCU for a character with 60+ years worth of comic history and never wanting to see her on-screen again cause the writers chopped up her character and passed her personality, worth, accomplishments and relationships to other female characters and the fandom treated her like shit every time she had an appearance

I love reading OC fics but my biggest turn off is the names I see for OCs sometimes. The fic could be written by Mary Shelley reborn and be the greatest work of fiction but it won’t matter to me if the OC name is ridiculous for the setting. What do you mean your OC is a Viking named Agrippa? What do you mean your 1800s French aristocrat is Makayla? I know it’s fic and we’re all escaping reality but I can only suspend my disbelief so much. Research names appropriate for the time period you’re writing for ffs

Hi, I’m not dead but I don’t use tumblr anymore and the shit going around is exactly why. This is a friendly reminder to just turn off anon. The people sending heinous anon hate are desperate attention seekers that wouldn’t dare to talk shit on main. They only have anon as a way to cope. Take the option away from them.

It’s still wild to me that Astarion, the origin character with the most overwhelming amount of in-game content, could be removed from BG3 entirely and nothing changes because he’s not connected to any major plot points. He’s not personally connected to Orpheus or the artifact, the Crown, the shadow curse or Nightsong, not to any of the Dead Three and their plots in Baldur’s Gate, nor any overarching plot line that starts in Act 1 and ends in Act 3, nothing. He’s basically just an NPC that got upgraded, much like Halsin. The difference between them is that Astarion serves zero purpose to any story beats or plots connected to the overall story. He’s just there and has a personal side quest in Act 3, that’s it. That’s his only relevance, and you can literally do it without him or ignore it like any side quest if you want. He lifts right out and yet he has more content than all the other origin characters who are integral to the overall story. It’s baffling.
