Welcome to Hell. You Can Never Leave

@alexthemagicaldevil

High there! I'm Alex, a fan of many things. Feel free to hang around for a while, though be warned, you can't go once you've entered this layer of Hell. Feel free to check out my AO3, where I post the majority of my writings:  https://archiveofourown.org/users/Magical_Devil_Alex

"HELLO FOOLISH FROM A LONG TIME AGO."

"HELLO TOMMYINNIT FROM MANY MANY PLACES."

of all the ways I thought Slime would address Foolish and Tommy, I will admit this is not what I was expecting.

Edit: apparently Slime also called addressed Tommy as, "Tommy from nowhere in particular," and "Tommy from nowhere." Let's just say, this knowledge fucked me up on many levels, especially after I saw a post commenting on how 'Tommy from nowhere' could be a reference to Tommy's limbo being the Void.

Double Edit: Also, I just watched Ranboo's and Slime's first interaction with one another. kind of interesting that Slime seems to have never seen or watched Ranboo before, as he doesn't say where Ranboo is 'from' and doesn't seem to know anything about him like Slime does with the others (Tommy's exile, Foolish being a god, etc, etc). What the hell this means, I have no idea.

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

Isn’t Lady Gaga bisexual?

yes that is indeed why she's on the list of famous women who like women

why have multiple people reblogged this with some horse-assed "um actually most of these people are bi or pan" did I fucking stutter I said they like girls. what is your point. I'm going to kill you.

POV: you make a good post and then encounter tumblr reading comprehension

btw to just clarify for anyone who sees this reblog of this post

op is basically saying something along the lines of "yea ik taylor swift is bi but like. why is she y'all's only lgbtq+ pop icon when there are all these other lgbtq+ people in the pop scene???"

i might have worded this badly but hopefully i got the main point across

hi op here I certainly did not fucking say Taylor Swift is bi

I FOUND IT GUYS I SPENT HALF AN HOUR LOOKING FOR THIS VIDEO AND ITS HERE

Always reblog peent.

*before clicking play*: IS THIS WHAT i THINK IT IS???

*clicks play*: IT ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

i'm curious to know the ratio of writers to readers on ao3 so here's a poll. when i say writer, i mean people who have published works on ao3, doesn't matter if it's once, or if it was ages ago, or if it's a regular occurrence. when i say reader, i mean people who have never published a work on ao3. the reader vote still counts if you don't have an account on ao3. if you're a writer who is also an active reader, please still click on the "writer" option!

please do boost this so it reaches a larger sample space!

So Mark Hulmes posted some thoughts on post-campaign Calianna on Twitter the other day and I for one am emotional

Calianna naming her children after Jester and Caleb may just be one of my favorite things now 🥺 Also dragon wives beloved

Hulmes considers this headcanon because it didn’t happen in game and Matt hasn’t approved it, technically, but it’s very sweet and Calianna is his soooooo. Canon. Yeah.

(I attempted to add alt text for all images but tumblr started replacing every image with the first one so… text transcripts would be greatly appreciated! 🥲)

Welp, #Criticalrole fam. I couldn't help myself, after thinking about Calianna a lot last few days, I went and did a Levelled-Up version of her and planned my own head cannon for what has happened to her. I'm a Very Amateur Artist so please don't judge me too harshly. (ROFL Emoji) (Sparkling Heart Emoji)
(There is an image of Calianna Mordsson, Mark's half-elven Draconic Sorcerer. He drew it himself. She is graced with several draconic features such as patches of black scales on her right leg, a tail, a fully draconic right arm, scales on the right side of her face surrounding a yellow right eye, and large wings. She has shouler-length black hair and her non-draconic eye is light green-blue. She is wearing a green dress with one white sleeve and a leather corset, confidently cut to show off her draconic features rather than hiding them like she used to. She also wears a red brooch and gold bracelet.)
High Level Calianna Calianna continues to oppose the Cults of Tiamat after meeting the Mighty Nein and generally goes Adventuring. Finds other people taken by the Cults who have draconic lineage. Tries to help them, but some are drawn to Tiamat's power and must be fought. Is nearly caught by the Cult but saved by allies (see Wildemount Campaign Setting) who continue to help her on her journey. Learns thst Serrissa (Cali's adopted mother-figure &cult leader of Caustic Heart) plans to sacrifice a Young Gold Dragon to Tiamat. Cali and allies go to rescue her. As battle ensues, Cali Falters but feels the presence of Bahamut who helps encourage her and overcome her fear & shame of Draconic nature (Gift of Metallic Dragon feat). Cali & Friends save the Gold Dragon, named Goldheart who stays with Cali for a time. They become close and begin a relationship. At some point they "wed" and have kids (how, dragon magic), twin half-dragons with black and gold scales. The boy is named Jest and the girl Calea. Cali now embraces her draconic look and is more confident and joyful with her life in Port Damali.
For the outfit, the idea is the it keeps many of the elements @ornerine did for her official art, but now it's the non-dragon part of her that's more obscured as Cali embraces her dragon lineage. She's more confident & happier and it also reflects my own discovery of femme confidence As the two of us are interlinked, I wanted to add a little touch of my own discovery of embracing sexy, femme, empowerment, and outfits. Also, Dragon Mommy. Enough said. OH and the little bit of written Lore is a VERY short summary version. I actually wrote a full page of stuff and then filled out the new character sheet with more details. But too much to cover in a few tweets! Maybe a fun video idea?
Had a quick go at sketching what Cali's Dragon Wife, Goldheart, would look like in humanoid form. Not sure I can be bothered to finish it, but gives you an idea of what I was envisioning. (ROFL emoji)(Cool Sunglasses emoji)(Thumbs-Up emoji)
(There is an image of Goldheart the gold dragon as a humanoid. She has shoulder-length blonde hair with long bangs parted and pushed back behind her long pointed ears. She has a green orb earring in her right earlobe. She has two gently curved golden horns pointing upwards at maybe a thirty degree angle; they are about 8 inches long with one metal ring on each and a gold cap on the end of the left one. She has large golden eyes decorated with green eyeshadow, a small amount of bright pink lipstick, and faint golden runework surrounding her eyes and on her chin. She is blushingly smiling, showing off her fangs. All in all she is gorgeous. Below her head is a sketch of the rest of her body, standing with left hand grasping her right elbow, like a lesbian marveling at how lucky she is to have married her wife [source: me every time I see my wife]. She is wearing an elegant gown with off-the-shoulder sleeves.)
Twitter user @Gabriellowena replied: "The sons name is JEST cries I was just thinking about her the other day I'm glad you gave us an update (Happy Cry emoj)" Mark Replied: "Jest and Calea, names inspired by two of her first friends and people that changed her life. (Big Smile emoji)"

Here's the other thing is I think Imogen and Laudna are definitely trying to keep this a secret because of how fresh it is but we all saw what happened after the rock AND the ring. The second Ashton or Orym gets either of them alone for more then 4 seconds it's over

Ashton: why are you so happy?

Laudna: ha I don't even know what you're talkimogen KISSED me Ashton right in the middle of the farmers market and I kissed her BACK!

HOWARD IS MAKING ALL THE MOST INSANE CHOICES THIS EP. Weird boiled bacon flesh?? Pick it up with your bare hands. See a cop at a crime scene?? Punch him square in the face. SIR YOU HAVE A DOCTORATE WHAT ARE YOU DOING

i cannot stop thinking about project hail mary. grace sees a foreign ship right next to his, a foreign space ship in a foreign solar system, which means not only is there intelligent life out there but it’s right outside less than 300 meters away. the other ship sends an object across the space between them, and when he pulls it on board, pries it open, and inspects the inside, he finds a 3D star map with a line connecting two of the stars. a map that essentially says, without language, here’s where we are, and here’s where i came from. do you understand what i’m trying to tell you? and grace doesn’t hesitate. he’s known there’s other intelligent life in the universe for, at best, a little under an hour, and he doesn’t hesitate. he scrambles to find some materials he can use, welds a piece of wire to the map to say, i understand, and here’s where i came from, too, and he sends it back. in any other sci-fi story this would be a monumentally huge mistake! in any other sci-fi story, grace would have just projected our planet’s location to a group of potentially malicious invaders! but this isn’t any other sci-fi story. the alien made first contact using the only thing that was sure to be the same across alien life forms–the stars–and he gave them some common knowledge to build from. they’re not colonizers or crusaders or invaders. he and grace are just two scientists, both excited as hell to meet each other, both trying desperately to find a way to save their planets and both so, so relieved to not have to do it alone anymore. i’ve never read a better first contact story. i’m in love

project hail mary said "we would be ecstatic to find out that there's other intelligent life out there, so why wouldn't they be just as happy to find out about us?" and then proceeded to write an entire thesis on how the inherent nature of sentient beings is to forge friendships, to not be alone, to protect each other at all costs. i'm inconsolable
