Legion of Gays Roll Call

The legion of gays is now in session.

It is the purpose of the legion to align our infamous forces against the heterosexual patriarchy, leaving us the rulers of Manhood.

To do this, we have gathered here the 13 most infamous gays in all of faggotry

the sturdy Bottoms:

the perverse mind of the Pigs:

the aging Zaddies and the Jocks

the frenzied PNP gays and Masc4Masc guys

the DL men and the Bears

the Scene Queens and the ever-flexible Versatiles

the feminine yet ferocious Drag Queens and the hideous Twinks

not to mention the brilliant leadership of us, the Tops.

if you want the most succinct summary of Matt Colville, it's this - his books are all self-published under his own label and have no editor. When asked about this, he said he doesn't need an editor because he writes his stuff, waits for awhile until it isn't fresh in his head, then goes back and rereads it as the editor. According to him, outside editors are "middlemen" and he thinks they're a waste of time and money.

so yeah, that's why his writing is Like That

i'd ask you for a source just to verify but i Don't want to read it

Unfortunately for you, I have a partial link (this is where he says he edits everything he writes himself instead of using an outside editor). One of his youtube videos on his channel has him talking about how they're just 'middlemen' and interfere with the process or fucking whatever. I can't be assed to watch those.

(he mentions in that link that the comics went through rounds of editing - he didn't have a choice on that since it was published through Dark Horse who made an editor mandatory)

thinking about how peoples blorbos tend to be men on here (makes sense with the trends in fandom of men being prioritised etc etc) SO please reblog and tag your female blorbo(s). this is NOT the post to be like “[male character] becuz he’s a woman to me” i Will come to your house and bite you. anyway i’ll go first mine are susie and julie from dbd and carly jones from house of wax 🖤

ok i’m sorry are you trying to imply that the dragons aren’t sexy?????? simply couldn’t be me

I'm saying Vorugal isn't sexy!

Vorugal is a bulldog of a beast with a family wreath who couldn't even do his date the decency of telling her about his dayjob (being Thordak's lapdog).

Is this the dragon we're gonna call sexy??? Surely you jest

Look at him. Literally the small crusty-eyed white dog of dragons. He's also probably got cold feet and is shit to cuddle with and, eurg, look at those lipless jaws. His teeth must stink wretchedly.

You want to go full Bard and seduce a dragon? By all means! But raise your standards a smidge 😤

RAISE my STANDARDS??? every dragon is sexy and worthy of objectification, and i’m sorry you can’t see beauty in this one brained cell rat with wings!!! this absolute himbo of a lizard!!! my guy just wants to hunt shit in the snow like a fucking husky and he deserves that!!!!!

Good! Let him live out his shorter lifespan snorting through his brachycephalic face as he tries desperately to keep up. Outside. Not in my house! It's very generous of Vex to shoot him through the heart to ease the suffering of this poor creature <3

A himbo should also be kind and he's a little meaner. It's the crusty dog energy. He will bite your ankles and ruin your rug. That's not hot.

See the thing is, cutting Vorugal out of the running underlines that the other dragons have earned their sexy status. Including Gelidon! Gelidon who is totally out of his league, and drops badass threats, and survived all her encounters with irritating adventuring parties! Vorugal got shot down trying to run away! Lame! Dragon isn't a default to sexy when one trends towards a low-quality bin-bred lizard.

Actually hold up he gets points for being literally the only one to have a patagium. It's not sexy but I think it's a necessary adaptation or this loser couldn't fly, unlike the others who get by on the rule of cool.

SOMETIMES when you're horny for a dragon, you're not horny for a clever, conniving, scheming dragon that will talk sexy to you and purr about how you've fallen directly into their traps and calls you an inferior species in a mocking tone.

SOMETIMES a dragonfucker likes a little variety and you want a creature that's barely more than animal. an apex predator, a beast that, if it thinks of you at all, categorizes you only as either prey or rival predator. It isn't going to bother gloating to you for the same reason most humans don't gloat to their plate of french fries and if they talk to you at all, it's because they see you as a threat to their french fries. Just pure animal instinct, all day, every day.

And if you're into that kind of thing, Vorugal, is a porn mag centerfold star. There are zero thoughts running through that dragon's brain that aren't 'fight' or 'fuck' and when you're tired of listening to the rest of the Conclave natter on about their overly-complex plans, Vorugal is a breath of fresh, icy air.

Also tbh if you're banging evil dragons, you're unlikely to come out of the situation alive regardless, but I think you stand a better chance of surviving Vorugal than you do someone like Raishan. If you get away from Vorgual then hey, you did it. Congratz. If you get away from Raishan, it's because she's lulling you into a false sense of security and the next time you go to hug a loved one, they'll turn out to be her in disguise and she'll stab you in the stomach. I don't need the paranoia, alright?

Vox Machina Plays Mario Kart 

Vex’ahlia is obviously winning. Keyleth is better at this game than she gives herself credit for and isn’t doing half bad. Grog is being a little too aggressive with the turns and keeps crashing into things; and yet somehow, he’s still a place ahead of Scanlan. The game is clearly rigged! 

Vox Machina House Rules: 1). No loud music before 9 AM 2). Butter knives are NOT weapons 3). PLEASE try the doorknob first 4). Whoever breaks the door down, pays for it.

If I were to tag myself in this image, I’d be Percival-”I refuse to be humiliated over this”- De Rolo. Let’s just say I know where my talents lie, and Mario Kart is decidedly not one of them. 

hey uh

this whole ‘magic methods of imprisonment are failing’ thing…

what about the primordials almost unleashed by Avalir’s fall?

what does this mean for the Rites of Prime Banishment? 

Pelor was involved in both occasions the Rites were used (direct architect and fighter for one, provided the basic insight and one bead of divinity for the other), and we know from Deanna that his influence is… shaky, compared to usual. Let alone the influence of the Allhammer and Ioun. 

Are the chains that bind Tharizdun and Vecna weakened?

Are we facing down a situation where the over-arching villains of the last two campaigns might either be the first things devoured by Predathos, or play a hand in weakening him if they lash out first? 

Which is worse?

I just want to say - I haven't watched the episode. Just to be super clear about that up front. I am WAY behind on Campaign 3 and I didn't watch most of Campaign 2. But I am a lore nerd and I watched all of Campaign 1 and EXU Calamity so I can answer some of these questions.

Just popping by to say I love your Percy & Scanlan writing! (I know it's quite old by now but I'm very 😍 over it) My brain latched onto them pretty immediately after getting into CR via LOVM & I'd not found too much that focused on them. So when I found your fics it absolutely made my night! 🥰 Love how you write soft Scanlan & him being more observant than he gets credit for, as well as both Percy & Scanlan being terrible at being direct when it comes to admitting care or worry for the other!

Thank you! It took me a long time to warm up to Scanlan but once I did, he fascinated me as a character. He's got a lot of depths and he cares so much, but boy does he work to hide behind a facade of being nothing but a sex crazed jackass.

I actually have another bit of Percy and Scanlan writing that I posted on Tumblr and nowhere else but unfortunately I posted it on a gifset I reblogged and for some reason, Tumblr flagged the gifset as Adult Content (it wasn't) and because I wasn't the one who made the original post, I couldn't contest it. So now nobody can find it because Tumblr hid it.

If you're only familiar with LOVM, the ficlet would be VERY much a spoiler since it takes place at the end of the Conclave arc but maybe I'll get around to reposting it later.

This is a great take and I would like to adopt “Feelings Yakuza” in English actually, I feel like it conveys the whole thing way more obviously than “anti” (not to mention the muddled meaning of “proshipper”).

To avoid harassment, EA and SEA artists have started pre-emptively blocking users with "proship DNI" or any variation thereof in their profiles as a result of this article and said feelings yakuza are getting pissed that their DNIs are being hard enforced by the other side. How very dare.

Image: excerpt from the article which reads: “[TN: "feelings yakuza" is an internet slang term referring to "those who turn their personal discomfort into a social evil and try to erase the target completely"]

In the end, it turns out there wasn't some kind of unspoken American fandom rule I had to follow, and the people harassing me were just American feelings yakuza.” /end id

out of interest, did the titles percy give vex to piss off syldor actually mean anything? like, is the grey hunt an important piece of whitestone’s municipal government? is being a member of the third house of whitestone a recognised ceremonial title? like a knighthood? what even IS the third house? de rolo is obviously the first—so did percy decide vessar is now the third? i need to know if the cute and heartfelt moment was actually even more cute and heartfelt because of stream stuff i’m not aware of!!

A few people have already answered you but the longer answer is yes. When the Briarwoods took over, they also killed a bunch of other nobles in Whitestone and replaced them with their lackeys (Vedmire, Kerrion, Anders, and a guy who wasn't in the cartoon, Tylieri). Percy is specifically giving her the holdings that were given to Vedmire, which includes the house that Scanlan burned down. This is a title of nobility and carries with it a certain level of decorum and respect that is owed to the person that holds it and is the one that would mean more to Syldor because frankly, it means his daughter outranks him (Syldor is a diplomat but has no actual title himself).

The other title, Grandmistress of the Grey Hunt, is more complicated. It's a title that actually isn't in Percy's power to give because the Dawnfather, Pelor himself, the God of the Sun, is the only one who can truly grant that title. It has to be earned in a ritual ceremony that involves finding a dangerous creature in the Parchwood (the woods surrounding Whitestone) and subduing it to protect Whitestone. Percy is offering her a chance to earn the title because he knows that earning it will mean more to Vex than simply being given something.

If the Baroness title is a middle finger to Syldor, the Grey Hunt title is a show of genuine faith and trust in Vex from Percy. Because he knows she's capable of earning it and he trusts her to protect the home he loves so much.
