I've forever been a holdout saying "I won't buy Universe Beyond and there's no crossover that would ever get me to buy in" but then I remembered the Beatles, and—while I'm no superfan—the idea that I could turn Ringo sideways and send him into combat against an enemy beast has this undeniable allure

I want to practice more card painting and figured adding in the fairy type Pokemon, Sylveon, with Oko was a fun combo! #sylveon #oko #mtgalter #magicthegathering

Magic the Gathering card, Oko Thief of Crowns, altered with a Sylveon painted in.

guys can’t even be gay with their employers normally anymore; it’s always gotta be some shit like this.

The first half of a passage from “I, Strahd - The Memoirs of a Vampire”:

“I looked over the edge and found him, lying spread-eagle on his back on a rocky shelf that slanted just like a roof. He'd slid part way to its edge and was within a heartbeat of sliding farther. It wouldn't have taken much: just beyond his feet the angle turned to a true vertical, dropping hard away. I couldn't see the bottom.

"I've got you," I said and fell to my belly, my arms hanging down toward him. "No, don't look up, I'll come to you."

His slight movement caused him to slip away by a handsbreadth. "Don't," he said between clenched teeth.

I didn't bother arguing, just inched toward him. My feet were hooked over the rocks above. Pebbles tumbled ahead of me, lodging in Alek's hair.

"Don't, Strahd," he whispered. "I'll drag you down, too."

My fingers closed on his wrist. Now for the other one.
The ground under him shifted. He slipped down a little more. I tightened my grip. "Don't move, damn you."

He didn't, but the earth was not as obedient to my will. A piece of it dropped away below his boot heels. Some seconds later we heard a distant crash as it struck whatever lay below. He muttered something, a prayer, perhaps, and went still as a corpse. Useless. He slid a bit more and I went with him. My ankles and my arm were feeling the strain of holding our combined weight, and my head felt heavy and swollen from the rush of blood between my ears.

"Let... me go," he breathed.

I gripped all the harder. I didn't dare yell for help. Our balance was so precarious that anything could upset it.

"Let me die alone, Strahd."

"No."”

The second half of a passage from “I, Strahd - The Memoirs of a Vampire”:

"I’ve no wish to kill you, my lord."

"Shut up."

Another slip. My gloves were sodden with sweat. I couldn't feel my fingers grasping anymore. I felt only the pain in my legs, spine, and neck. My shoulders...
The rock my feet were hooked over loosened. Just a little. It sent a reaction all down my body and on to Alek. He dropped another sickening inch. All I could hear was his strained breath and the faraway tick of pebbles that had shot out from the edge and landed far below us.

Slowly, his free hand crept over to his waist. It moved as if it were detached from him, unable to affect the rest of his body by the change of position.
His fingers spread and closed upon a second knife in its sheath on his belt.

"No, Alek."

"Better me alone than both of us."

Sweat blurred my vision for a moment. When it cleared again, Alek had drawn the knife and was bringing it up. All he had to do was stab my hand, and I'd have to release him.

"You would draw my blood, Commander?"

"Only a drop or two if it spares the rest, my lord."

"I forbid it."

"Then I must disobey."

"Alek, do that, and I'll go over regardless. I swear it."”

MTG really said "hot single grandpas in your area"

All of this is still true, even after Edgar's recent failed wedding/power grab. Freshly single, he has taken to mingling in the seedy taverns of Havengul. Some may call this hiding, but make no mistake—Edgar awaits his next chance to strike.

It has been 339 days since I have cried over Sorin Markov No blurb for him yet, but I just know his ass got kicked out after Crimson Vow and he’s in hiding because he’s so scared it’s gonna happen again. Look at the damage on the fabric of his outfit, dude. Look at his messy hair and stubble.
