[ID: A Digital Illustration Of Orym From Critical Role. He Is Visible From The Shoulders Up, Looking

this is the fifth (5th) installment of my critical role x it's always sunny in philadelphia series, dedicated to the silly and somewhat pathetic guys of tm9 (affectionate). Cad is not here on account of being the only respectable man in the gang

placing these on the ground as an offering to the gods. please let them be real thanks <3

Look my favourite 'Starscream joins the Autobots' concept involves him absolutely playing up his victimhood in a manipulative attempt to win sympathy. He's a Decepticon! He's Starscream. Of course he does! He will act however weak and vulnerable he needs to, in order to achieve his ends.

This gives him a fascinating duality. He's a Machiavellian selfish would-be-tyrant who fucking dares the Autobots to feel sorry for him; while at the same time, he's a wheedling, snivelling mess, making puppy-dog eyes as he cunningly reveals tailored scraps of his abusive relationship with Megatron to win over the 'soft-sparked' Autobots.

Everything he shares is true.

In fact, things with Megatron were probably even worse than he portrays, albeit more complex - i.e., with far more goading and violence on his side, but which in NO WAY justified the ghastly abuse he was subjected to.

This is a way for him to feel like he's in control of the shit that's been done to him. If he's using his victim status as a weapon, it feels like it's his. He's taken possession of it. He's made it into something more powerful, in his mind (even if this defence tactic kinda... prevents him from fully recognising that what happened to him was actually really really awful).

I wish more fics engaged with this aspect of his character, where he's PERFECTLY WILLING to go 'OH THE ABUSE. OH I HAVE SUFFERED' if it'll get him ahead in life, while perhaps not even fully understanding just how much trauma he's gone through.

my wife and i like to torture each other when we lay down for bed at night by tickling or poking each other. as a deterrent we’ve created an entity called “The Bird” which will attack you as a way to show we’re no longer comfortable with whatevers happening. we’ll say “The Bird is coming” or “The Bird is going to get you” instead of “hey stop doing that” then we peck each other with our hands. here’s a visual to help

A couple hugs from episode 38 <3

[ID: A digital illustration of Dorian Storm, Orym and Fearne Calloway from Critical Role. They’re all injured from a fight, Orym more hurt than the others. Dorian and Fearne are crouching, Dorian holding Orym while Fearne heals both Dorian and Orym. From out of frame someone says “Wow, you three must really love each other, huh?”. All three glare at the person out of frame and simultaneously respond “Yeah, no shit!”. End description.]

A commission I did for the lovely @all-made-of-stardust!
