am i insane or is there a certain energy *some* people have towards vere that is really mean spirited?

like i dont mean anything based on his canon characterization so far or purposeful angsty/bad interactions for fic plots.

i dont know how to describe it but out of all the characters he seems to be watered down the most into really strange, almost out of character tropes

genuinely has anyone else seen this or is it just me

[hopelessnecromanticc]

you can draw any character fat even if they aren’t drawn that way in canon. including women. and you don’t just have to draw the shy reserved woman as fat you can also draw the woman who is confident in herself and her appearance as fat too.

while i do have my personal takes on the exile vs the hound (which are biased since my alchemist and unnamed mcs are wayyy more developed which is mainly due to my preferences in character archetypes) your main point is exactly what ive been thinking

most of the fun with games like this (and fandom in general!!) is playing with the canon and making shit up. i feel like fandom culture overall has really turned away from this and everything HAS to adhere to canon. and this is really egregious when the media we all love isnt even officially out yet.

theres probably HEAPS of lore we're all connected to and character backstories we've made that will be incompatible with canon

and thats ok! the devs arent going to blacklist people who still want to keep their hound backstory lol

(also character creation is my favorite thing ever so i personally was excited to revamp my character with this new material)

hot take ig but the exile background really isnt that different from the hound background. i feel like you can easily adapt the hound's lore into the exile's template. idk i just feel like the reactions ive seen from the update has been a little much and as someone who has an mc for each background the hound was the hardest to work with cuz i felt like my other mcs were so different from the hound mc

Something something misogyny being the culprit behind people feminizing Vere specifically to hate on him as a love rival when it comes to Ais something something

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

every day that i learn more about character design while at college it makes reading gacha discourse about character design more mind numbing to read

i severely underestimated how busy i would be with finals so there is no sword :')

going to start working on my harrow cosplay for fan expo this year :D

this is my first fan expo and my first (official) cosplay so im super excited

i plan to share the process over the next few months (which mainly involves me making a sword lol)

[hopelessnecromanticc]

posting a sketch of Mhin and Wisteria because i have finals and im unsure how long itll take me to finish this

[hopelessnecromanticc]

[…] what if I were to devour them? Bone and brain and bezoar, the last swallowed whole and unbroken. Would their cells, once edited into nutrients, then parasitize mine? Colonize and civilize the crenellations of my brain, develop into a ghost, a disparate consciousness. If I could answer this with any certainty, I’d consume them in a heartbeat, preserve them in every chapter of my body. I’d do anything but watch them die. Even if payment for their longevity isn’t shared tenancy of this body, but complete monopoly. Better I be reduced to miscreant daydreams of the ocean than be alive without them. Whatever it takes. Anything. Anything, so long as they stay with me.

Touchstarved Locked Tomb Au Headcannons

i plan to draw / ramble about this a lot so these are based on the made up lore ive crafted. feel free to leave your own ideas/takes :).

Kuras

sixth house necromancer

i feel like he would already be a lyctor. not as old as some lyctors but not a new one either

feel free to imagine who his cavalier was

Vere

third house cavalier

a part of me wants him to secretly be a necromancer but doesnt want anyone to find out

he reminds me of ianthe imma be so fr

Ais

third house necromancer

his vibe doesnt rly scream third house but i need him to be with vere or else ill be upset

my explanation is that he originally was from a far off place but was sent to the third for some reason (BoE spy perhaps. idc if it makes no sense i find the drama exciting)

Leander

eighth house necromancer ofc

i dont have much else to say about him rn

hes just spooky and off putting

Mhin

cavalier of the ninth house

was supposed to be a necromancer

still studies necromancy when they can

(i based them off harrow nova ngl)

the "story" is completely separate from most of the actual locked tomb lore (the only things im keeping are the houses and the general rules of their society. none of the characters in the actual locked tomb series exist in this au. the universe is just the setting)
