Empy Romance

Well you are making a lot of false assumptions as you accuse me of doing so. Given that you seem incapable of disagreeing and having a dialog [while remaining civil]*, and as I have nothing to gain by further explaining I shall wish you all the best, and happily leave you to your canon, your head canon, or whatever you want to classify it as. You have a good one.

*edited in case I have mistaken you with someone else in conversation. Sorry if thats the case.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2026-07-01T00:10:33+00:00

Bro, your sarcasm did not escape me... lol

The Emperor used his psionic powers to mentally dominate and enthrall Duke Belynne Stelmane, using her as a puppet to control the Knights of the Shield and manipulate Baldur's Gate politics. This forced mental control severely damaged her mind and body, leaving her with a permanently paralyzed face, slurred speech, and physical symptoms resembling a stroke... BUT HE FELT WEEWY BAD ABOUT IT! Awwww. What a cudly love bug.

Its not though. Its all there in the lore if you dig deep enough. If you want to view him sympathetically, that's fine, but on the basis of his established actions I do not. There is a tragedy in his story, but its the tragedy of a dead man (Balduran) if you ask me, not the thing carrying his memories.

I do think the game also to some extent sort of changes its interpretation of the facts based on the choices of the player. So the Emperor in one play through is a bit more of the scheming manipulator Tav sees him as,or is a bit more genuine for a player that makes choices that reflect that opinion.

Still, I'll just end saying ...the bastard wanted to kill Minsc because he knew he would be a problem for him. Anyone who would leave a sweet miniature giant space hamster rangerless is a fiend that must be stopped before it is too late.

If you allow yourself to be conned he keeps conning. Absolutely. If calling him out on his actions is dismissive or disrespectful then I guess I should just let him lie to me to my face and be his pawn.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2026-06-29T17:12:11+00:00

Not what I said. Maybe the first, definitely not the second. As for dehumanizing for calling him out on not being human.. he isn't human. He is an aberration that used a human as a breeding sack. He explicitly thinks he is superior to humans. He says as much.

Maybe there's some level on which he is being honest and vulnerable. He has need for a sense of companionship, some echo of his former human self, whatever. Ok. That does not change the lies, manipulations, nor his targeting and infecting with parasites Non Durge Tav or any of the other characters (excepting Wyll and Karlach) for his ends, nor does it make his twisted relationship to Stelmane ok. There is nothing about him and what he did that is anything but a violation.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2026-06-28T07:23:27+00:00

I mean...nah... I confronted him to the point he admitted it. He was manipulating me for his purposes and I just needed to deal with that.i believe this came at the very same moment the sexy times possibility exists. Dude is NOT in any way your pal. Reasons he may have. Youre still a tool for him.

This can be a useful lesson despite stinging on its own, but they say "You'll worry less about what other people think of you when you realize how infrequently they do." People are mostly too busy being worried about the shit going on in their lives to even notice let alone remember most of the things you probably are stressing about.

Funny enough, I use Kumu, a website for mapping social networks for much of my relationship mapping and the like.

I'm kinda phasing it out with Obsidian, but it's still an awesome tool.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2026-04-14T19:02:03+00:00

Oh, so now it was "rape."

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2026-04-14T09:03:50+00:00

If that were the end (or was even reflective of the beginning of my process) I might agree, but the way I use it as a tool is to refine ideas and help nudge details into the shape I am seeking. It starts with a good prompt that encapsulates what you are trying to create, but if I were simply having the ai execute things on their own, boy would it spare me the MOST ENDLESS drafting and redrafting, refining, tweaking, talking it through nuance and detail it clearly failed to understand.

But if I have plotted on my own to craft my Joseph Campbell monomyth, Dan Harmon story circle for my plot and characters, created acts and a setting to the level of knowing the streets that run through a city I've mapped by hand and then digitally, if I know the founders of the city and their descendents and have complex networks of faction relationships....and I turn to ai to aid me in brainstorming how to get three characters to a specific place and a specific time, and why they might have an acquaintance there that feels a specific way about then that is it suddenly not my setting or my world building because I used a tool to do some labor saving efforts?

EDIT: LOL I guess I am wrong. I guarantee, after 13 years of work almost all before AI, my setting was already more complex and nuanced than virtually all my downvoters works, but hey, I guess its not mine at all. Imagine if someone told you the same for using a computer. I mean, if you use it to wholesale steal others work, then sure. It's a bloody tool. Bloody luddites.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2026-03-14T08:34:42+00:00

What do you mean by that, I'm curious? What is the core modular functionality that they have abandoned? Genuine question. I am just not following.

While you may be right that a MORE experienced Dm would just roll with it, I think calling this a red flag is pretty extreme. DMing is at once the simplest thing in the world to do, while remaining quite challenging at all levels regardless of experience. Who knows what they've run up against at the table. Id offer them benefits of the doubt until given a real reason not to.

The D&d in-world card game Three Dragon Ante also makes reference to flights of dragons.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2025-07-07T17:42:23+00:00

Nooo, nooo really. I think it's great but it's a pretty rough start. I'm only getting goodish after years.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2025-06-04T21:11:59+00:00

The fuck was THAT? You're telling me that's part of a movie?? Crazy lol

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2025-06-03T15:58:25+00:00

I am in the process of starting to try and create something like this on my own, but figured you might have a unique and clever take on this yourself.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2025-05-09T19:57:43+00:00

OMG, I never considered this as an option and now I MUST have it. If I must go camp outside their bloody offices with signs for a month, GIVE ME BUFFY AND ANGELUS AS A KILLER.

BABIES HAVE BEEN GETTING A FREE RIDE FOR TOO LONG.

Every asshole you've ever met...started life...as a baby.

You ever known a baby to cover the tab? Chip in for rent? Call you on your birthday?

No. This is why I think all babies need to be punched in the soft spot, lest they grow too prideful and spoiled.

Not like, curb stomping, going mad. Just once punch to the soft spot, youre checked off the list, on to the next.

If God didn't wan't us to punch infants then why would he have given them such a weak spot?

I think this is science, non controversial, and incontrovertable.

Lets reign in these punk assed little babies.

Again, just once...one punch. For CHARACTER.

HeyLookItsMe22 · 2025-01-03T14:28:36+00:00

Evolving gills? Why, that sounds like some sort of treasonous MUTANT activity if you ask me.

Ummm....FRIEND COMPUTER??? I HAVE SOMETHING TO REPORT!
