DID you notice the lockpicking tools on Zev's belt!?! :DD Maybe the board makes pics too small to really see it, but DID YOU? DID YOU?! xD


I had been peering at his belt wondering what that was - lockpicking tools!  I can see them now that you say it.   

I love the idea of you educating your mum.

Ooops, top of the page!


Caught you looking!  (Yes, I know he's in mage robes.  I was playing dressup, and accidently sold his armour).

Edit: Let's see how my mother reacts to Gravitation, Fake, Crimson Spell, Z1 and Kizuna once she gets off the phone. *g*

She was a little dumbstruck. Might have been the sex. Maybe I should not have picked the graphic ones. But she gave a very pleasant O! at this (after just randomly opening Manga at any page since guy on guy IS ON EVERY PAGE in pwp and then yell MEN shoving it in her face):

Me:*skims through fake*....
Mom: ....
Me: *skims harder*
Mom: .... no men, then?
Me: NO. Just plot in between.
Mom: O! :3

Tss. To think I forgot to give her the talk all those years.

XD You crack me up.

Really? I'm actually quite disappointed in my mother. Usually when I pull stuff like this she reacts far more hilariously. *g*

It's still far better than my relatives' reactions to these things. XD

Well, dudes and dudettes, I'm disconnecting my modem so I can (1) get this fic done, and (2) because it's nearly 5 AM, which means Sresla will show up again soon, I'll say something that makes me look like a jerkwad, he'll call me on it, and I'll get all emo. In the interest of keeping the internet a safe place and making me more productive, see you guys later. Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Or we'll kiss. I know which I'd prefer.  :innocent:

Edit: I will come back in a bit and somehow add something Zevran relevant. I promise.

Edit #2: I made a Zevran Firefox persona, if anyone uses them. Can't guarantee how it'll look on everyone's browser but it works on mine. I'd publish it but you're not supposed to use images you don't own (and I don't own this one) but it's probably okay to share here.

There are directions on how to set up a persona in the link above. IF you use Firefox (obviously).

LOL, me neither.
But still, if we took your relatives as guideline the whole world would be a) pretty much always better than was to be expected and B) still darn horrible. :D
I'm just used to better stuff from my Mom. Moar lulz.
Now, me's back to drawing. After this is finished I'll do my post awakening comic. To satisfy certain needs and to have an excuse to finally draw MY PC for a change. :D

down to them.

And yay comic! Looking forward to seeing it~

Holy crap, tangentially in line with all the talk of image.

I've been trying to get a good macro shot of my malar rash scarring for an art idea, and failing because I seem to have forgotton how light works (lol). And so I'm getting gritty crappy photos instead of the sharp texture that I want. I'll try again when I'm not so damn tired, though shining the light in my face is going to end in lols.

Anyway, looking at the failed shots, I look like I'm completely strung out or something. Good times.

Re: growing up image, highschool etc. I never wore anything tighter-fitting than t-shirts two sizes too big for me and the huge wide-legged skater pants that are practically hakama. Big chest + baggy baggy clothes = lolbrick. Also, everyone figured I was completely asexual because I never, ever, ever flirted or visibly oggled anyone, ever. I grew up in solitary confinement, emerged into the world, immediately got pranked by the first three cute guys to ever catch my attention, and never let on again, ever. Except the one time in Seattle with a guy I'd known for a week on the internets. Shush, we've gone way more TMI in this thread before.

So, not the same stuff at all, I know, but just tossing that out there to say I've got empathy for the folks talking about nasty sh*t they went through due to self-image. I had a year on my own in Seattle where I wore crazy vinyl stuff out in public once in a while, which was insanely novel, and the one photoshoot my then-friend insisted on dressing me up for, a few self-shot photos in kinky stuff and business suits and combinations thereof, aaaand that was about it before my endocrine system went haywire. Said friend didn't like me being ill, either, so she's long gone and on with her life. I, the sickly best friend she didn't want anymore inherited her cat, who she also didn't want anymore. Ah, mementos.

Now, I never see the light of day and I skulk around the house in a tanktop and sweatpants and sandals. Whenever someone knocks on the door and I have to peer out, they look like they just met something out of an asian horror movie. Probably a little in part because half of my neck and face usually looks like I was assaulted with one of these. So! There's my contribution to all the talk of image. If I drank, I'd like... offer a toast to us lot or something. As it is, my tea will have to do.

Clink? Heh.

Now, have a re-post of the ridiculously hot elf:

Not to make light of your situation, Aro, but I'm pretty sure you fill some obscure fetish just by your existence.

Well, if arrogant douchebags who don't think before they type are your thing, that sounds like a plan.

I would like that... vigorously.

I'm just going to go to bed before this gets any worse.

Of that I have no doubt, haha. And feel free... I joke about it all the time, and it's far better than long awkward silences in which I get to wonder how many people rolled their eyes and closed the tab. ;)

I'm like a vampire with all the flaws and none of the benefits! I don't even sparkle in sunlight; I lesion. It's a complete rip-off.

If I were to exclude everyone who didn't think before they typed something on the internet my life would be very lonely indeed. I couldn't live with myself, were that the case. I refer you to the toothbrush incident of a week ago (two weeks ago?)

But now I've got to think of something else Zevran related. Feh.

Okay I've got one. I've always hated the line, "O-ho! Such subtlety in your seductive charms that I was not even aware of them. A work of art in motion, perhaps?" post-tent, if you say that you thought you seduced him. The VO says "Impressed" but to me it doesn't sound impressed, it sounds more like... disbelief. Like he's saying that he doesn't believe that you seduced him. That was one of the first localizations I felt compelled to look up in the toolset.

He kiiiiinda does, but he kiiiiinda doesn't, too, yeah. I always took his tone as playful instead of disbelief, though, like when you tell him it could have been better and he says he may never recover from the blow to his pride. XD

Now, the one that always got me until I looked it up is the one where you can go "Is this part of your plan?" or something like that, in the post-tent convo. I've looked up the comment-chain that I took from there and other than the initial medium hit in approval, he didn't drop further, if I understood the toolset correctly. I didn't go the "OMG you really DID poison me?!" route, or he'd have gotten crankier. Anyway, for the lines I got from him the VO notes say things like "not offended" and "teasing banter" and such, but he sounded really annoyed to me when I first heard it. XD

I was like "Damn, Zev really doesn't like it when you question his motives. O_O"

I don't think it's a flaw in the voice acting, though. Just like in real life tone gets taken different ways in different context. Right after the first tent scene, he seemed less than amused with that line of conversation to me. XD

So I fully agree, the worry lines between his eyebrows are rather dear, too. It shows a lot about him that he wouldn't want someone figuring out. XD (Fanfic moment: I had Alley poke one when she called him a hypocrite. I kind of adored that.)


His face is seriously interesting with the deep lines and such.  But that mouth just seems to soften the entire thing.

Edit: Still half asleep, so what I say may not make much sense.

A lot of times the VO notes and the animations express different feelings, which gives a whole different effect.  Like when he talks about the Dalish.  He's supposed to sound indifferent for the most part, he's just telling a story, a few lines he's supposed to sound slightly bitter.  That story does not come off as matter of fact though, because of his facial expressions.  Had he any any emotion in is voice, though, the story wouldn't have had the impact because he would have sounded like he was whining.

With the "work of art" comment (well, the female variant, which is different), he sounds almost mocking to me, but in a nice way.

Yeah. :wub::wub::wub:

Aaaand I'm still up from whenever ago. Going to fix that now, assuming chunks of fic can stop popping into my sleep-deprived brain. Why a certain level of exhaustion makes for good plot, I'll never know.

He does sound a bit mocking there... It's as if he means the words to sound impressed (the line, in print, would come across that way, I think), but actually isn't. 

Or perhaps it's just because he generally doesn't see the value in subtlety. :lol:

I assume the one in Iceland that's shutting down half of Europe.  Is she stranded somewhere?
