ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
I think I find this post every April Fools Day and I am so happy that I do
WHAT THE FUCK
i missed it last year so i’ve had this scheduled for an entire damn year
Hello in the spirit of April Fools Day here is a link to my entire rickroll tag. Yes, I have an entire rickroll tag. If you don’t trust the link (which is valid!), you can go straight to my blog and explore the ‘rick and roll’ tag!
Re: Carmilla, Episode 14, The Meeting THOUGHTS
The sword and axe sound effects were so good! The swishes at Carmilla in Bertha's room, the miss into the wood, the clatter on the ground. Very small, but they add texture to the scenes
Love the hisses and snarls from Carmilla (Catmilla).
Small kudos to the General for reading the 'crazy' proto-Van Helsing doctor's note and, in a way totally antithetical to the Classic Supernatural-Disbelieving Patriarch trope, he actually throws up his hands and decides Fine. I'll give it a chance. and camps out per the doctor's suggestion. Cue Millarca reveal. For all the clear anti-queer undercurrents to the whole bullshit LESBIANS ARE COMING TO RUIN YOUR DAUGHTERS scare factor, in the pure surface text he is technically being more proactive and non-oblivious than Laura's father, who has still obviously not connected a single dot yet between Bertha's situation and his own daughter's
Heartbreaking: The homophobe-coded old man recognized what genre he was in first
And then of course we end with the General telling our young maiden protagonist to run away to the pastor/church to save herself from the wicked gay seductress monster. Because subtlety. 🤡
Hey! We're doing an open call for submissions for Being Aro, which released from Page Street Publishing next summer. Submission guidelines here!
April! Going with common materials instead of colours, thanks to a $1 bag of paper flowers in all shapes and sizes from the local thrift store.

fuck it, bg3 companions shower routine
Shadowheart: Shar hates self-care, but a Shadowheart does take pride in her hair, and a Shadowheart who has learned to be kind to herself can indulge. Long, complicated hair routine, very specific water temperature, and a tendency toward long-ass depression showers. LOVES a bubble bath and will make a whole event of it with flower petals and candles just for her. Will bring a book with a little book tray and a glass of wine.
Astarion: Similarly complicated hair routine. Gotta hydrate the curls, and being dead does not do nice things to your hair. Less prone to standing there staring at nothing while the horrors set in, but prone to scrubbing too hard. Similarly fond of a bubble bath, although without the book or flowers, although he will fuck with an essential oil heater and likes to make his own blends.
Lae'zel: Queen of the 4 minute shower. She has been accused of not even waiting for the water to heat up, but she likes it blistering. Does not actually use 3-in-1, thank you. Having fairly short hair helps. She finds the other companions baffling. Would get bored in a bubble bath unless she had company (rubber duck counts).
Wyll: Sings. If someone called him on it, he would be embarrassed, the first time, for about a minute. Neither wildly efficient nor inclined to standing there for ages and ages and prefers to shower in the morning. Washing his hair is a chance to relax and take care of himself, although before he has his family back, it can be a bit melancholy. He has fallen asleep in the bath before. I feel like he'd love a bath bomb and he'd love the full romantic evening with candles and flowers and music.
Karlach: Please, please someone boil her. Once she gets her engine fixed all the way, she tries a cold shower just to remember what it feels like and keeps up a running commentary about how much it sucks while also not turning up the temperature. Absolutely loves sharing a shower with someone and will also sing. Should not attempt her little jig on wet tiles. May try anyway. Someone should introduce her to proper hair/skin care because if anyone is using 3-in-1, I'm sorry, it's Karlach. Genuinely cannot sit still for a bubble bath unless she has company to cuddle.
Gale: Voted Faerun's Most Likely to Relitigate Arguments in the Shower, Even if He Won Originally. Loves to pamper himself, canonically, loves a spa day, also canonically. You simply are not getting the bathroom back for a good hour, although not all that time involves running water. Plays around with different products and researches the living hell out of everything. Loves a long soak. The only person with a feline in their house to ever bathe in peace. Constantly torn between wanting a book with him when he has a bath and not wanting to get the pages steamy and damp, much less actually wet.
Minthara: Her ideal hair wash involves someone else doing it for her while also having the utmost certainty that the person will not attempt to murder her. If her partner washes her hair for her, she turns into a puddle. She has an incredibly specific lineup of products. If she shares, understand that she has bestowed upon you a great gift. More about bath salts than bubbles and could be persuaded to a sufficiently elegant bath bomb (it would not be a difficult check).
Halsin: Low-flow showerhead user. Hell, he might be the kind of person to turn the water off entirely when not soaking/rinsing out his hair... However, he is not immune to the "shower together to save water" line even though he KNOWS it doesn't work that way. He needs low-scent soaps/etc considering his heightened sense of smell. And listen, this man does not fit in a bathtub unless he goes somewhere special or finds a particularly large one. He made everyone floaty ducks, properly sealed against water damage, and he has one for himself that holds his soap.
Jaheira: Understands that having a chair in the shower is just being kind to yourself and proceeds accordingly. Will revisit arguments she had that day, but despite that has a quick and fairly simple routine. She needs the water pressure to pound the everloving hell out of her back. Loofa on a stick user. Like Wyll, she has fallen asleep in a bathtub, in part thanks to having and using a bath cushion. Truly, the expert on bath-based comfort.
Minsc: Also sings in the shower. LOUDLY. Boo is allowed to sit a shelf out of the way. The best way to get him to use lotion is to give him something that smells yummy. He has similar problems to Halsin regarding fitting in bathtubs. He tries anyway. He has been banned from at least one hotspring for doing a cannonball.
These are all perfect, but I want to add:
1: Gale has probably specifically altered a spell to keep his books dry in the bath. If he gets too immersed in his reading he sometimes forgets that he’s in the bath and tries to lower the book onto his lap, getting it wet. A book tray only helps a little with that.
2: Lae’zel being intrigued when she first hears the term “bath bomb” and then sorely disappointed when she learns what they actually do.
3. Minsc having a similar initial reaction to bath bombs as Lae’zel, but when he sees one in action he’s delighted.
ALTwhat if you walked inside sycamore lab in ZA and they were just there. wouldn't that be fucked up
