Memorializing This

Had to draw Ashton’s new look im obsessed

Me after watching the scene where druig says the whole "My beautiful, beautiful Makkari... did you miss me? " line:

this is what i imagine beau and yasha’s kitchen looks like

The excitement I feel knowing that Campaign 3 starts tomorrow is just…..AHHHH! I will never get tired of the feeling of watching a new campaign! There’s nothing like it!

Some of my main hopes for this campaign:

Please, please, please someone play a Tabaxi character!

Kind of hoping that Liam and Ashley play their characters from EXU, but that’s wishful thinking on my part I guess.

I want to see a Mighty Nein cameo at some point.

Shipping toxicity needs to chill out. Last campaign’s shipping wars were….woof. I’m not against it (hell I shipped Fjord x Jester and Beau x Yasha last campaign) but the attitudes when someone’s ship didn’t become canon were really appalling tbh.

I will probably add more as we get into the new episodes. But these are my main ones for now. :)

Is It Thursday Yet?!

the endless string of summer storms that led me to today; began one afternoon with you, long ago and far away by MarsBar2019 (22801, Explicit)

Reccer says: It is a great balance of domestic wholesome fluff and hot sex.

Caleb and Essek are happy and in love, and decide to take the next step. The customs of the Empire and Dynasty are rather different, however, and what is a wizard meant to do except research how to propose to his partner, with some help from friends along the way?

Some of my favourite descriptive closed captions from this season of Dimension 20: Mentopolis

It's truly such a great season; filled with film noir tropes, that the Prefrontal PIs parody in the most hilarious way, but also inspired by the concept of Inside Out leading to incredibly touching moments, clever psychological/biological/sciency processes, oh and also so. many. puns! :D

I watched the VOD yesterday and I love the way Liam describes Orym
