antis are a threat to queer people and have no place in queer spaces if they think its acceptable to "out" queer people as dangerous sexual predators for what kind of fiction they enjoy. and thats why i block them on sight, even if theyd have no problem w the shit im into. they arent safe people.

Sometimes I don’t feel like a real person. Like I don’t feel like I have a series of coherent personality traits. It’s like I’m a different person to a bunch of different people. Objectively shit like code switching exists, but it feels like all of those versions of myself are different from who

My entire lifetime has seen Republicans benefit from every structural bias in the system: two republican presidents elected while losing the popular vote,the senate being biased towards small rural conservative states,house and state legislatures being heavily gerrymandered, and a captured SCOTUS.

My life long dream is to pin down my own fucking gender deal with any consistency. I actually don’t like being a woman at work, a dyke with some of my IRL friends, and nebulously transmasc to people online. It makes me feel a special kind of lonely.

Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life to advocating tirelessly for the justice and equality of Black Americans and resisting elected leaders’ deliberate abuse and neglect of our communities. He was relentlessly targeted by our government for his views and pursuit of equality.

Black and white image of Martin Luther King Jr with a quote of his on top of it. The quote reads "We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”"

#tavqotd Mizzen is 32 years old at the start of the adventure. As for what age he’ll live to I don’t know. Tieflings have nebulous rules around how old they can get. On top of that, he has a fey patron who prefers him alive. On top of that, he has a vampire lover who isn’t keen on him dying

#tavqotd Mizzen to Cazador right before Astarion kills him: “Don’t worry, I’m sure Mephistopheles will be merciful about your failure.” Art (Durge) to Orin: “You weren’t even fun to kill.”

#tavqotd Mizzen broke down not long after facing the avatar of Myrkul. He was pretty confident in handling goblins or a small cult, but now everyone was expecting him to face down 2/3 of the Dead 3 and an Elder Brain. He snuck off alone to some corner of Moonrise to drink himself stupid. 🧵

no, that was pre Twitter migration, we don’t call them skeets now. style guide says they’re called ejaculating into a spoon. so for example you don’t say “did you see that guy’s skeet” you say “did you see where that guy ejaculated into a spoon on Bluesky”

#tavqotd Mizzen is a Mephistopheles tiefling and Astarion is a vampiric elf. The biggest problem for them is the morality difference. Mizzen doesn’t really think about it, but Astarion isn’t about to lose the “only” person who cares about him. 🧵

leighistired.bsky.social @leighistired.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

#tavqotd Mizzen cares very little for slavers and since that’s what Astarion says Cazador is that’s what Mizzen thinks of him initially. His opinion drops when he finds out about Ascension because selling someone else’s soul sets off his own personal hang ups. 🧵

leighistired.bsky.social @leighistired.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

#tavqotd Depends on how insulting it actually is. Most of the time he’ll flirt back to mess with the person. If they actually insult him, something between public humiliation and death awaits them.

#tavqotd 🕰️ 32 years old (although the time spent in the Feywild makes that a bit nebulous) ⚓️ Pirate, mostly of shipping lanes near Moonskae 🪦 Orphaned at 15 🪶 Secretly writes poetry 🧚 No one he grew up with remembers him because of fey shenanigans means “I’ll choose my own path.”

#tavqotd Mizzen’s first love was an eladrin prince connected to his patron’s court. They both liked each other and the prince swore to love Mizzen “to the end of summer.” Mizzen, being naive about both love and Feywild time, agreed and assumed they would be together for about three months 🧵

#tavqotd Mizzen likes to stay relatively clean and uses prestidigitation to achieve that in most areas. Although he’d never say no to a nice bath. His hair care (including shaving) is something he does exclusively manually, though. 🧵

#tavqotd Mizzen grew up very firmly merchant class. Now he’s criminal/ adventurer class. He tends to have favoritism towards merchants and people in “customer service” roles since he was raised to have some class solidarity with them. Although he’s not above haggling down prices where he can. 🧵

#tavqotd Mizzen went to a schoolhouse run by clerics on Ogma in Baldur’s Gate from age 6-11 for core academics. Then he was his mother’s tailoring apprentice until she died when he was 15 and he was pressed into naval service and was forced to go to boot camp. Now he learns spells from his patron🧵

#nsfw #tavqotd It depends on Mizzen’s mood. If he’s feeling more dominant, he’ll get into Astarion’s space and tell him what he’s hoping to do in just enough detail to rile up the vampire. If he’s feeling more submissive he’ll tease and tempt Astarion until he pounces 🧵

#tavqotd For most of Mizzen’s adult life, his cardio has been climbing up the rigging and fighting. The one thing he is not used to is being on his feet so much and he is going to bitch about it.

#nsfw #tavqotd Mizzen drunkenly lost his virginity to a crew mate when he was around 17/18. His captain, whom he was in love with, had rejected him, so he got wasted and jumped the bones of the first person willing. If they noticed his inexperience, they didn’t say anything.

#tavqotd You can get a +10 from Mizzen if you sleep with him at the tiefling party, side with Wyll vs Mizora, tell Auntie Ethel about the tadpole, trick Yurgir and the Thorms into killing themselves, end the Shadow Curse, and go the the Circus of the Last Days

leighistired.bsky.social @leighistired.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

#tavqotd Mizzen is immediately trying to find out if it’s the territory of an Arch Fey and which one. His errands for his patron have occasionally left him with a different Arch Fey mad at him. If it’s a safe(ish) forest then he’ll just hang out with the local pixies or something.

leighistired.bsky.social @leighistired.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

#tavqotd For Mizzen the big things that come to mind are yelling at Silfy for pickpocketing you, being mean to Thaniel or Oliver, and letting Figaro get killed (or killing him).

leighistired.bsky.social @leighistired.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

#TavQOTD For Mizzen it’s two things: he’s very deliberate in how he presents himself. He might dress in less quality clothing to haggle down prices by appearing less wealthy than he is. He’s a good liar and can spin a tale to earn fear, sympathy, or whatever.
