All the world's a maze

@ariadne-mouse / ariadne-mouse.tumblr.com

30's, queer. Many fandoms, currently a lot of Critical Role. Sometimes I do art & fic things. Mousecookie on Ao3.

Ahoy! It's about time I figure a pinned post might be helpful:

I'm Ariadne, also known as mousecookie on Ao3. This is a personal blog that meanders with my interests. Right now I'm very into Critical Role, but that is not the only content I post or reblog. Join me for the ride however long you like!

Regarding spoilers: For the current campaign of Critical Role, I use the tags "cr spoilers" and the episode number, e.g. "c3e01" until the following Thursday after the episode airs. I've been using that system since the early 100's of Campaign 2.

I don't have a unique personal liveblogging tag, but any post I create instead of reblog is tagged "op".

Other tags I consistently use that you may find of interest are:

ariadne writes CR (for my fic)
tumblr snippets (tumblr-only ficlets, though a few make it to Ao3)
ariadne draws CR (for my art)
ariadne doodles (for my non-CR doodles and art)
art
pilte (Paintings I'd Like To Eat, aka scrumptious texture/color)
fanart
gigglesnort (if you need a laugh)
cats
water
green (plants!)
decay as a love language/flowers and bones (body horror warning)

Welcome, enjoy, hello :)

this shit fucked me up

This is why I hate the like, casual ha ha aren’t men awful jokes that people like to casually throw around.

Like, men are victims of the patriarchy too, and loneliness and isolation is what brings out the worst in people.

I’m not saying you have to be nice to or defend wretched men, but don’t treat them as wretched just because they are men. Treat them as wretched because they are wretched.

A departure from rigid, binary gender norms benefits all of us.

god. i’m going nuts over the concept that of the two pc deaths, it’s because the rotted and the old food got pushed down the disposal. art imitates life.

RIGHT?! RIGHT?!!!!!!!

Raphaniel: My deepest wish has always been to be chosen

Amangeaux: Don't leave me! I'm upset I didn't get to say goodbye to you. [desperate attempts to contact him via telepathy]

Karna: I saw you as a sort of paternal figure and I remember every time you looked out for me

Colin: [screaming]

#they might not all have been 'best friends' but they did all choose each other in various ways #(Lou was very invested and half on Brennan's side of the screen that whole time but Deli was more focused on Karna understandably)#(so I didn't have a soundbite for him)#trw spoilers #dimension 20 #the ravening war #op

Gleefully Silvery Barbs-ing Nat 20s to Nat 1s:

We're too fast, we're too fast! >:D

Soon after:

AND THEN:

Dead

Grieving

(of Karna too of course but the rollercoaster these two had in this fight was great)

AND COLIN GETS THE HDYWTDT!!!!! GET IT, PROVOLONE!!!

Brennan doing Raphaniel's creepy little chittering noises as his last spoken dialogue is SO funny and added tangibly to my lifespan

#trw spoilers #the ravening war #dimension 20 #op

OH NO KARNA!!! She got to know friendship and love and trust 😭 god the 'almost' between her and Deli is just. exquisitely poignant with her death

#the ravening war #dimension 20 #trw spoilers #op

Matt: bits of toast and cheerios and whatever else is ingrained in there

#the ravening war #dimension 20 #trw spoilers #op #intentional or not i see you matthew mercer

aw HELL yeah get those funky little mushrooms helping out Raphaniel

#the ravening war #dimension 20 #trw spoilers #op

NIGHTMARE FUEL!!!

Hell hath no fury like a radish scorned.

Brennan, with the comportment of a Shakespearean actor: What is food, if never on is fed? When with strange disposals, even death lies dead?

Matt & Brennan: the most wholesome exchange

And bookended by Aabria and Anjali:

#i'm in a heap of fuzzy blanket emotions #😂😂😂#the ravening war #dimension 20 #trw spoilers #op

A friend!!

Another friend (v large)! All must be sundered! :D

#the ravening war #dimension 20 #trw spoilers #op

I love how Lou delivers these strong emotional lines ("You lied!! You LIED!!!") but in the tiny pauses between phrases/sentences he is just so close to absolutely losing it with mirth

Et tu, Quichéi?

"Would you put a pastrami sandwich in a smoothie?"

#the ravening war #trw spoilers #dimension 20 #op #Brennan is on a ROLL

time for The Ravening War! I didn't manage to watch with the release today but I'm so ready to submerge my brain

#ooh spooky #art #puppy!
