Stop saying the dwarves of Khazad Dum โdug too greedily and too deepโ DWARVES DIG. ITโS WHAT THEY DO. I didโt see any of you popping over to let Durin VI know that heโs on top of a Balrog, how was anyone supposed to know! Saying it was โtoo deepโ or โtoo greedyโ is just Sindar propaganda, as if yall werenโt super content to sit pretty and huff weed in Menegroth while everyone else did the heavy lifting. Maybe if youโd done ANYTHING during the first age there wouldnโt BE a balrog under there in the fIRST PLACE!!! EVER THINK OF THAT? CELEBORN?

Trilogy Appreciation Week Day 5: Struggle
The conversation with Kaidan after the mission on Gellix showcases why heโs such a fascinating character. Kaidan is conscientious to a faultโin Mass Effect 1, Shepard describes him as agonizing over doing the right thing. As a loyal Alliance soldier, all Kaidan knows about Cerberus is how destructive they are. Theyโre evil, racist terrorists who have caused a lot of harm in the galaxy. Itโs very easy to get wrapped up in seeing your enemies as others and dehumanizing them so you can eliminate the threat with a clear conscience. But when Kaidan sees there are good people in Cerberus, he canโt write them off as unilaterally evil. Heโs uncomfortable and hesitant in this conversation because itโs challenging to look at an organization like Cerberus, at a megalomaniac like the Illusive Man, and accept that theyโre real people, too. And many of them believed that they were doing the right thing. I love that Kaidan isnโt afraid to confront tough subjects like this head-on and that heโs intelligent enough to have a nuanced take without compromising his beliefs or giving Cerberus any undeserved credit.

The tragedy of my life is that I keep acquiring and displaying fetish art and having to be corrected by my friends.
Most recently, a friend came over my house and saw my computer background and went, "Wow, um, I didn't know you were into that." To which I look at the picture of the well drawn muscular female minotaur in historically accurate Greek clothing and I start geeking out about how I love the detail the artist did with the clothing and I point out the period appropriate folds and pins, how the artist even inserted the native plant that was used to dye the clothing this particular shade in the background, and even how the belt has technology AND historically accurate weaving patterns on it.
Then I start explaining how I love the muscular choices of the minotaur, that I was so impressed with the artist's anatomically correct depiction of the muscles converging into the neck. That many people get an upright cow's neck wrong because cow's don't have collarbones, so it can be very difficult to merge the upper arms and a chest of a human with a cow's body. I draw her attention to the beautiful way they've merged the pectoralis major so smoothly while also staying true to how muscular they've depicted the rest of the body.
I finish up with my thoughts on the artist's bold choice to depict the minotaur as a female, and despite the underlying themes of a minotaur being violence, child murder, strength, and muscles. I segue into how unlike bulls, cow are perceived as mothers. That they are the major source of milk in human culture, and that idyllic depictions of them in a field usually depict calves frolicking nearby, yet the minotaur kills and eats children.
I finish and there is a long pause.
"Urban, this is fetish art." and she takes me to the artist's twitter and god dammit it's fetish art, not a bold statement on cultural perceptions of women and violence throughout history. I have been tricked again.
So I just wanted to expand upon the fact that I don't believe the art is bad, craftmanshipwise or morally, but that I am so faceblind to it for some reason, that even my tiny hundred year old Catholic grandmother is like, "Urban, why have you displayed this oil painting of the pornography in your kitchen?" And I have to explain to her that, "Grandma, I really thought it was just someone being incredibly enthusiastic about eating cake in a wedding dress, and you know how I love wedding dresses from the 20th centaury."
Also, I didn't want to admit this in the original post because it really is embarrassing, but after I was shocked to discover minotaur lady was more than I had assumed, my friend looked me square in the eye and pointed out how on the Amphora vase in the background, there is a depiction of another female minotaur leading a man on a leash. So this situation is very obvious, but it's like a magic eye picture that everyone in the world can see but me.
#i love this actually. #OP your kink blindness has led you to discover what many other people never realize: #extreme fetish artists make some of the most interesting and thoughtful artistic decisions of any big art genre #the period-accurate folds and the thought put into the gender dynamics didn't happen by accident! #artist lovingly rendered it all in perfect detail because the whole thing is hot to them. and got to connect with you. by accident #hilarious. i've been the kink person in this scenario so many times (though never about minotaurs). i love it. #'why is that guy on a leash' me panicking: um i'm a horror writer playing with a traditionally male expectation of control. yeah (via @crimeronan)

Man, imagine being Liara T'soni. You're only 106, only barely an adult in Asari years, and you're doing some routine archeological dig on some nowhere planet. And you suddenly touch the wrong thing and a forcefield traps you in place. And then a human shows up. A beautiful alien space commander from beyond the stars comes to rescue you, with her guns and her muscles. A knight in shining power armor. Yeah I'd fall in love too. I'd follow her anywhere. And when she died, I'd turn to crime to save her. I'd sacrifice anything to bring her back. To see her again. I get it
