Ponderfullyrandom - Meandering Slowly

Umm...

When tumblr suggests two anti-Jaime blogs to follow when literally half my dash is Jaime/Brienne.

Here is how to get astarion approval so high he will proposition you before the tieflings party. No evil choices, just some chaos. The score you want is 40.

Not all of these are necessary btw, if you di all of this you'll get over 40. Avoid what sounds too evil and check that you're getting up to 40. Also remember that for the party romance you actually only need 20.

- When Lae'zel is in the cage, talk to her before releasing her and ask her to say "please"

- Attacking the thieves at the ruined temple

- When Shadowheart mention needing a cure (at camp) make sure to choose the option about being cautious

- When you meet with Zevlor, refuse to help saying you have your own problems. (you can help anyway, don't worry)

- When Lae'zel meets the tiefling and ask him to bow, go along with her at least once, then you can stop her and apologise to the poor man

- When you meet Wyll, you can talk with the guy training the children. Tell the children that they will all die

- After saving Arabella, tell the druid woman that you just wanted to see what would happen

- When you meet Auntie Ethel at the refugees' camp, let her fuss over you and then tell her about the tadpoles

- You know the kid with the magic ring trick? Pocket that ring

- When you meet the two siblings mourning their dying brother, Astarion will approve of you send them to face the owlbear (but I never choose this, because it makes me sad). But I think the big approval comes in the dialogue just next, where you can say that using the tadpole seems like a great idea

- At the blighted village, when the goblin spots you, you will get approval if you attack them back

- Say boooo to Volo

- Open the door where the sexy moans are happening

- At the entrance of the goblin camp, if you can, thow shit at the guard

- There's a goblin that will ask you to kneel and kiss his foot. Uno reverse it, and intimidate him

- Let the cleric at the goblin whip you

- After you free the owlbear, pet them at camp

- Get the necromancy of thay, and the amethyst that fits in it and give it to Astarion

- Recruit Karlach with him in the party

- Killing the monster Hunter will also shoot up your approval of TEN POINTS. I usually never kill him, but if you're close to the party and you really want to get to 40, this is also an option

- When you meet Raphael, agree with Astarion that you should not trust him

- If you decide to do auntie ethel too, make sure to convince her to free Maryna and get the deal at the same time

Now, I think the majority of approval will come with how you talk with him at camp.

- Go along with his dialogue about killing you if there's any tentacle showing. Just play along, don't shut him down

- Go along with the "whose blood would you drink" dialogue. Your answer doesn't really matter as long as you don't shut him down

- When he bites you, of course, offer to give him your blood

- During the mirror dialogue (sometimes it happens pre-sleeping together) you can insult him a bit (you're not aging gracefully), but at the second reply reassure him. The last reply is fine for all the lines and they seem to all get approval, as long as you don't just leave.

In general this is usually all I need to get to 40, which is pretty high. In my last playthrough I managed to also get to 40 without doing many of these.

But as I said, you only need 20. Just remember that he likes being petty and asserting dominance over others, he loves the tadpole, he is cautious, he's a little silly and chaotic, he's selfish, he likes joking and talking so don't shut him down.

Just remember that he's much more explicit about sex being an exchange if you get the proposition before the party, and you end up missing the scene of the party. Up to you! If you see that he's at 40 he will proposition the moment you talk to him, so if you accidentally got his approval too high and want to see both scenes you can technically kill the goblin leaders and free halsin, talk to him, then when you sleep you get directly to the party where you will have the party scene too.

They couldn't leave this in because too many girlies would've jumped ship to run away with him and tear down the veil.

Site Update: Once Upon A Time - Episode 420 HQ Tagless Stills x33 [x]

Please consider a reblog of this post to help spread awareness.

Couple of things:

ONE: She did not kiss him to not look stupid.  Looked more to me like she changed her mind or something.

TWO: DEAN is not taking a page out of anyone’s book.  What part of fucking mind control is so difficult for people to grasp?  Did you miss the part where he pushed her away?  Did you miss the part where he tried to kill her?  Did you miss the part where he said it wasn’t going to happen?

Dean does not WANT this bond or connection to Amara.  Can people not shit on him for having to fight it and not always succeeding?

Dean & Amara "Kiss"

So I didn’t really see anyone mention it but doesn’t anybody find it creepy that Amara tried to suck Dean’s SOUL before she kissed him but when it didn’t work she kissed him to not look stupid, and can we talk about Dean? Like what the fucking is wrong with you sir? Did you take a page out of Sam’s book during season 4/5 and trying to get it on with the enemy, like dude. If we are going to force a heterosexual relationship on Dean can we please at least make it a good functioning one, like I get it, it’s Supernatural there’s going to be a lot of angst but c'mon that shit ain’t healthy dude.

Then Amara with her bullshit that we’re bonded and stuff like just because she was the Mark and he bared it, like so what, I got stabbed by this girl in 5th grade with her pencil and the led is stuck in me, but you don’t see me trying to become one with the pencil.

Plus the comparisons trying to be made to Dean/Castiel is invalidating everything, this ain’t Oprah. You just can’t be giving out bonds, like you get a bond, you get a bond, everybody gets a bond.

About what Samuel did, the boys probably won’t even tell her.  I mean, why would they?  She’s going to be miserable enough about everything else that has happened since she died.  If she does find out, it’ll probably be from something Cas says, like when he outed Soulless!Sam to Sam.  I just don’t think the boys are going to heap more crap on her than necessary.

Reblog so the fic gets written 🤣

Still super obsessed with the idea of Tav being part of the og party that killed Strahd and they just… dont mention it. At all.

Like, you’ve got:

Gale: Archmage of Waterdeep, wizarding prodigy, Chosen of Mystra herself

Karlach: frontliner of the Blood War and escapee from Avernus

Wyll: The Blade of Frontiers and son of Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard

Astarion: Vampire spawn of Cazador Szarr, and former magistrate

Shadowheart: Priestess of Shar, Lady of Loss

Lae’zel: Badass githyanki and proud servant of Vlaakith

And my Tav’s canon: Slayer of the Dread Lord Strahd von Zarovich, currently trying to find a way to bring it up to the party and is 100% awkward about it because they died *after* killing Strahd and only because they tripped off a cliff and their old party thought it’d be funny to cast Reincarnate instead of Revivify.

The story everyone knows is that (Tav) died in the fight against Strahd as a “final heroic sacrifice for the greater good.” When in reality, they’re too embarrassed to correct anyone so they’ve picked a new name and literally made a deal with Neferon or Exethanter for completely different magic to what they used to wield and now they’re committed to the disguise/new life/fake backstory of being tricked into a Warlock pact. At this point, they’re neckdeep in this awkward situation where everyone believes they died a hero’s death, their old party is kinda just laughing about everything, and their BG3 party is completely oblivious.

Astarion: “It’s near impossible to kill a true vampire lord. Cazador is almost unbeatable.”

Tav the Strahd Slayer: “…I see.”

Which concept art post was this?? Totally still want to see it even if it isn’t real!

Apologize once again

I would like to sincerely apologize once more for getting hundreds of people’s hopes up because of some dumb concept art (I guess) and now we can actually have to say it…the show is over. So concludes the bittersweet tale of samurai jack the cartoon hero of the past who saved the world at the cost of love, faith, and his own sanity, may the team who worked so hard on this find better work and have long careers with a new age of cartoons. To the gabase who held on to this show I must say thank you from the bottom of my heart I have to say that sadlyife isn’t fair and it’s a lesson we all have to learn, but the moral of the butterfly was to show her memory lives on in one form or another. That’s what we learned. Thank you jack, and goodbye.

Spoilers for Atonement

Recapping what I've seen online:

David, Louise, Victoria, Nolan, Margaux, and Emily all attend the funeral as scene in the clip that was posted online.  (I'm guessing that was Emily laughing and holding the camera.)  So logically none of them can die next week.

Multiple people have said they saw Ben in promo pics for later episodes.  While I haven't seen these, I think it's unlikely they would create the character just to kill him off (but hey, fingers crossed it's him and not a regular).

That leaves Daniel, Charlotte, and Jack in the line of fire.  Charlotte already left, so that doesn't make much sense.  Jack is possible, by why would Louise attend the funeral?  Unless David drags Victoria to it and Louise stalks her, it doesn't make much sense.

This, unfortunately, leaves Daniel, whom the show recently decided to give decent scenes.  This feels like the shows way of saying goodbye to the character by cramming in as many Danily moments as possible so fans feel somewhat appeased at the end.  It is also made more tragic by the fact that he was genuinely going to be a father this time, and it will be ripped away from him again.

PRAYING that I'm wrong, but this seems like the most likely avenue, coupled with the rumors from last season that Josh Bowman wanted to leave the show.

Petyr:  *speaks*
