Fuck If I Know

once again thinking about astarion and how his writers don't shy away from the idea of him being permanently changed by his abuse and yet that doesn't mean he's doomed to misery either... he will always bear physical and mental scars, he will never be the person he was before, and he will never live a "normal" life, but he still finds happiness and love and a future to look forward to anyway and that means so much to me

i’ll be looking at paleolithic cave paintings and i’ll get fomo like damnnnnnnn i should have been at the cueva de las manos feeling up the rocks with grug and ugga fuuuuuuck

I spent 1000000 hours romancing Astarion against my will back during his Grinch Face phase before Larian patched it out and now in this playthrough idk how to process his regular face. It's so soft. He looks like a smooth puppy. Found out there's a mod to re-grinchify him. Must pursue that.

I do appreciate that people have been working long hours to prove in hard numbers that immigrants are a net gain to the US economy, that is, that they put in more value than they take out. I do appreciate that that information is necessary to counter the MAGA and ICE talking point that they're harming people. But I also hope that someday we have the presence of mind to reach the obvious conclusion: that if they're putting in more than they're getting out, we're exploiting them.

if i was trapped in the time loop i would do the correct sequence of actions to break out of the time loop on my first try, thus resulting in me unaware of there being a time loop in the first place

You keep saying this every time.

that's because you're stuck in the time loop so you hear me say it every time. i on the other hand, got out perfectly so i'm experiencing time linearly as normal

I think this is the loop where I kill you with a rock
