La Fille Du Crépuscule

important reminder that most people you follow online are significantly lamer than you think they are including me. and if you feel insecure comparing yourself to someone online: DON'T. theyre probably also lame and weird. most people on the internet are

reblog if you're also lame and weird.

the reason critical role is so good is because every campaign features at least one cast member creating a character that they intend to be doomed by the narrative and matt and the rest of the cast going don’t be an idiot, Our Love Will Undoom Them. like in the explanation of percy’s final playlist, taliesin wrote, “Cheers to a happy ending for a character intended by his creator to be karmically irredeemable. May we all be so fortunate.” and just, Yeah.

@your-turn-to-role i hope you don't mind me stealing your tags #like. caleb's story has its special place in my heart too - but that one at least was more freeform#percy's though? percy's is formulaic. he hits every single beat of a very well known story#and he was supposed to die at glintshore. that was the end taliesin was expecting and the end his archetype should have had#but vex saved him. percy didn't expect it taliesin didn't expect it but she did#and then you get this wonderful uncharted territory that gets to be just a little meta in its exploration#bc like. taliesin is someone who's dealt with suicidal thoughts before he knows how to handle that story and percy is directly in it#percy knows the tropes. he ALSO expected to die at glintshore.#and then what you get is the teen who always assumed they'd die before they ever had to live an adult life against all odds surviving#and i find late game percy to be an extremely accurate representation of that and all its complications#something you rarely see in fiction#but it's the last episode that gets me the most. bc taliesin still didn't know how to end this story. and neither did percy#there wasn't a formulaic way to wrap this up bc percy wasn't supposed to get to this point alive. so what does he do now?#taliesin was gonna have him just try and sacrifice himself for vax. get back on those rails. but he doesn't get a response#and in that silence right at the end of the story taliesin talks about only then realising what's happened here#percy is an extremely traumatised kid and he has NEVER talked about it. even after everything he was still kinda waiting to die#but there's no time left to wait anymore. story's ending kiddo - and you're still standing. you have to commit to that#and if you've taken tragic death off the table now there's only one ending left. to get better#and for that you have to want it and you have to ask for help. so vex asks him if he's okay and for the first time he tells her everything#and i've never seen a character ending be so optimistic in quite the same way#percy de rolo

I've just found the single most homoerotic piece of LOTR art ever who wants to see

Um, YES?

i will personally never understand that thing people do when theyre like "i thought this was a good piece of art until i realised its fetish/pornographic" like why does art lose value if the artist was a little horny when they made it. why is that so scary. im sure a lot of the old masters were doing portraits of their lovers slightly bricked up & theyre still displayed in museums. why is sexual arousal not an acceptable source of inspiration when like every other emotion is. well i mean i know why sadly but i do not like it so i'll continue to complain about it
