we collect mistakes

"You didn't do anything wrong." "No, Raz, I didn't do anything, and that's the problem. I… I—!" Cicero stops mid-stride, digging his hands into his hair and tugging at the roots. "I allowed this to happen because I didn't stop him. I gave him access to the Hall of Bearings, I didn’t tell anyone when he started siphoning the Mascherines, I couldn’t even— I couldn’t…" Razitof steps in to close the distance, grabbing Cicero's shoulder before he can resume pacing or succumb to something more self destructive. "You are not responsible for your brother's actions." He winces as the words leave his mouth, realizing the thin layer of irony in saying this, but thankfully Cicero doesn’t call him out on it. (Razitof and Cicero say goodbye.)

And then of course we have

PICTURES!

I’ve been feeling super rusty with my art, and honestly no surprise, given that I rarely draw at all these days. I wanted to draw and not have much of a plan or goal in mind besides, well, drawing. Wanted to try something new, scrub off some rust, do my best to not fall into my perfectionist streak and instead just... explore?

I legit bubbled up and cried here.

Damn masquerada.....making me have feels!!!!!! Kalden and his whole story is so damn sad.

another videogame meme → Five best outfits (for any character)  

Vivienne (DA:I) has probably my favorite dresses among all games. One of the things I really love doing in DAI is giving Vivianne new clothes and see how they change to her taste. Cassandra’s original inquisitor armor and in general the eye symbol of the Inquisition is also among my favorite armors (thank you, THANK YOU, for letting armors not have boobs, Dragon Age).

My angsty past child me really enjoyed Jack of Blades’ armor as well, black and spiky armor? Perfect. And a more elegant armor for Tiziana de Felice (Masquerada), bulky amors for women is also a favorite of mine. Furthermore, Masquerada in general has so many beautiful clothes.

masquerada songs and shadows (this game is CRIMINALLY underrated... beautiful art style, smooth mechanics, and a soundtrack that could make triple a games shake in their boots........ love this ost)

mass effect 3 (leaving earth has me like...... /clenches fist......... /clenches fist harder)

pillars of eternity (tbh i can’t listen to these anymore without immediately thinking of critical role ghjfkhgfj)

ffxv (STAND BY ME INTENSIFIES)

bloodborne (any soulsborne game tbh... but bloodborne has the best one imo)

fire emblem awakening (especially the one titled “id (purpose)”... that one’s my absolute favorite :D)

detroit become human (listening to this one rn actually)
