I'm Actually Super Surprised To See That There Are People Who Don't Like Halsin. I Guess I've Found Myself

hey... don't cry.... tesla recall for most cybertrucks, okay? >46,000 vehicles affected <3

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: the hate Halsin gets is confusing and undeserved.

the "each bg3 character is a subversion of their usual class traits except halsin" is one of my favorite discussions but i think halsin is also a subversion he is just harder to pick out

when he kills he feels it is out of necessity and doesnt regret it even though life is lost vs. traditional druid who feels All Life is Sacred

part of druid group and was selected as the leader but is actually too much of a free soul and doesnt actually want to stay there vs. the reclusive druid who must be convinced to trek the world

halsin being a notorious bedbreaking harlot vs. the sexless-druid who is detached from intercourse/interpersonal sexual relationships

built like he got 10 meals a day vs. the tight-bodied lithe druid

I love his character, I feel like he is a druid who worships nature by experiencing it to the fullest. Which is why he doesnt take issue with things like sex and killing. It also contextualizes why he was chosen as the leader of the druid camp but wasnt happy in the position. Halsin doesnt want to be an overseer of nature, he wants to be a participant who walks and grows and fucks as much as he can

HEY. HEY. why is the ghoul!!!!. sewing on lucy’s fucking finger!!!! while claiming that HE busted the organ dealers!!!! presumably!!!!! to take heat!!!! off of HER!!!!!!!!! IS ANYBODY ELSE. SEEING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Temples are built for gods. Knowing this a farmer builds a small temple to see what kind of god turns up.

*Me trying to write fanfic*: Tralalalala, plot, plot, plot, write cohesive script, double check character perso-

*HORNY THOUGHTS*

Me: .....Damn it, what was the point I was trying to make?

What if there was a race that had been enslaved through drug addiction? Kept in line by the need for said drug and altered and changed into behaving a certain way considered acceptable for the sake of that drug? With all the pain and horrific withdrawals that come from being without it too long, to the point that said race would be driven to a brink of madness as they're left with either enduring until they get more of that drug or through death, for there is no other way permitted by those who watch them carefully?

And all the while, this race of beings are aware of what's going on, loathing their very enslavement through this dependence? Even while they crave and itch for the highs of these too brief moments because no drug truly lasts as long as an addict wishes during their zenith.

And yet, no one has tried to free them from this. Oh not from ignorance of the cruelties of slavery, no. And certainly not because it is seen as a righteous thing they'd want inflicted on themselves either.

For you see, it's all that's keeping these slaves from returning to their true natures and that would mean much death to everyone around them. Oh the shrieks and gurgles, the puffs of pain and horror, that was their delight. For these beings had no soul to appeal to, no conscience nor heart that poets write of, to stay their skin ripped limbs from prying the eyes out of the youngest of their captors.

What is this drug, you ask?

Why, love, of course.

Oh not the sentimental moment of truth where these wretched things would find some tug of mercy like our collectively bonded nature, no. It was something akin to the Oxytocin that stays a predator's teeth from the necks of their mewling babes, the compulsion of chemicals that renders the sociopathic nature of creatures built for survival through brutality into docility.

That said, this being a drug, not all of them reacted the same. Sure the guards are there to banish them back to hell, but that is only a stop gap until the cages are reinforced again and the bodies removed before the smell of blood draws the curious into resisting again.

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

Day 10: Favorite Romance

Fair Warning: This is an incredibly long essay with tons and tons of flycammed screencaps.

Obviously, my fav romance is Shakarian. It’s my favorite for many reasons, but I think the reason that I like it best is simply because it is actually a romance. I honestly love it so god damn much that I’m having a hard time focusing on what I want to talk about with it, because its that damn good.

I think I’m going to talk about the development of it, because there’s lots of essays out there already about why they’re suited for each other or what makes them such a good pairing. What I think is particularly interesting about the way the Shakarian romance is set up is that so much of the romance is not in what they say – it’s in how they say it.
