Also Reblogging This One Bc It Links To The Otherssss

i just realized there's gotta be some connection between me being obsessed with octonauts as a kid and now being obsessed with subnautica and my ideal career being doing fucked up cool mad scientist ocean stuff

the mental image of my tav (me) infodumping about vampires just kinda stuck and i needed to get it out. he (i) definitely would start taking notes on astarion. fucking study that bitch

(the text is from the vampire wikipedia page i hope thats obvious)

I'm still obsessed with the idea that Vellioth and Astarion look eerily similar and that's why Cazador is more obsessed with Astarion than the other spawn.

are we just not supposed to question why the aurora had a shit ton of submersibles on it that dont seem to have any kind of other use outside of the water (such as like an actual spaceship) and then conveniently crashed on an entirely ocean planet

Edit: I now know that skimming the non-audio logs is not sufficient for lore purposes

i just think hes silly yk

i fucking love bz

i just got the data entry for Hope and oh my god?????? i love Alan he's so so so so silly silly oh my god Maybe its the dynamic of one character is disgustingly human with their emotions and to the other human emotions and stuff like that are a foreign concept that just tickles me the right way i dunno but theyre just my favorite

the way that robin goes from kind of hating Alan for getting in her head to slowly as you discover more and more artifacts to thanking him for telling her about them and encouraging him that he can find the rest of his network is beautiful.

also the fact that he thinks hope must be a bird because of the way the Emily Dickinson poem describes it means he must have never known hope before. Robin literally taught him what hope is. She gave him hope for the first time in god knows how long and even in his analytical literal-mindedness he understands that hope is something he needs to take care of and keep safe

its just a beautiful dynamic because again Robin is driven by human emotion shes on 4546B to find out what happened to Sam, she does this reckless thing based solely on her feelings, and Alan is the exact opposite. He only knows logic and rules and emotion gets in the way

AND AND AND the parallels between Robin losing Sam and Alan losing his connection to his network is beautiful because that means they have something in common, a link that they can work through to explain to one another

its just beautiful writing and im probably reading into it way too much but thats my fucking job

does anyone else every analyze a character's design while trying to draw them and go HOLYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyways astarion has a "bat-shaped" nose (how ive decided to simplify it)

First off: vampire bat

notice the upside-down heart nose.

and then, the pookie:

probably SO uninintentional, but im running with it to the ends of the earth. if i ever have the motivation to fully draw astarion im giving him a simplified "bat nose"

tumblr gang i highly suggest checking out the 2025 official website and look at their policies. not for any kind of "prepare yourselves blood mages" shit and more for a good laugh because. holy shit.

THIS SHIT IS HILARIOUS like the amount of people who wouldnt have voted for trump if they knew about this one in specific is hilarious

quick edit bc I forgot to say this and I find it hilarious: one of my friends, upon me telling him this, suggested people protest by jerking off to the debate

if the definition of insanity is performing the same action and expecting a different result then call me insane but by god is it working

wisely or whatever i didnt read the manga
