I can't stop thinking about the line 'I surrender, someone please bring me back' from Velvet Cove... It makes me afraid for Kat 😢

#lost records bloom and rage #billie's rambling again #lost records spoilers #<- discussed in the tags #like it seems heavily implied that kat will wind up in the abyss at some point #maybe as a way to escape her shitty life #and that line in particular makes me think that it will be something she comes to regret and will plead for someone to save her #and even the 2nd verse feels like it's her remembering her friends and realizing she made a mistake to leave them behind #every little hint I see regarding Kat makes me worried for Tape 2 #I've never been more simultaneously excited and afraid for a story follow-up #this game is gonna rot me from the inside out istg #it's just... no!!! she deserves better!!!!!!#someone get this poor girl out of the evil pit and into a better home!!!!#and a bunch of sour candies to boot!

One of my favorite choices the Apothecary Diaries made was making the Emperor a “normal guy” (as far as I know as an anime-only). He’s not evil. He’s not hindering Mao Mao’s journey. He respects the concubines.

If anything his lack of autonomy and presence as the most powerful person in the country further enhances the show’s themes of working within the confines of class and gender inequality.

The previous emperor was a horrible, horrible pervert. Okay, then this emperor only weds women of age… Until he’s forced to take his father’s precious wife due to politics. The current emperor reasonably avoids her.

Eunuchs exist? Bam! now the surgery is outlawed, but this will create a reduction in male labor around the palace.

The emperor clearly favors few women. Well, now he must recognize a concubine with a powerful politician father playing the system.

He supports Mao Mao toeing the line of social expectations for women, but hasn’t removed the law against women preparing medicine. It makes one think, if he wanted to, could he make the change at all? For every two steps forward, he’s forced to take one step back.

In this universe even the Emperor is limited by social pressure and the expectations of his station. His life and that of his children is out of his control, and if that isn’t such a compelling piece of world building I don’t know what is.

If that’s how the author twists the narrative of the Emperor you better believe her female characters dealing with women’s issues in this society are even better written.

#you should all watch the apothecary diaries #I’m all caught up and starting the manga #never read a manga before #and despite knowing what’s going to happen in a MYSTERY I’m still locked in #guys it’s so good #I can’t wait to finish the manga and then jump into the light novels and read it all AGAIN #the apothecary diaries #kusuriya no hitorigoto #and if I’m wrong about the emperor please don’t tell me #no spoilers please #though this has spoilers up to the most recent episode #maomao #tagging the queen because she’s mentioned #these characters!!!!#wrote this instead of my discussion post for class🤪

do you think, before ahsoka knew that anakin was vader, that she had nightmares of vader killing anakin? she followed what the naboo thought happened, that anakin died protecting his wife and unborn child(ren) from this menace that massacred the entire jedi temple? do you think she wondered how he'd rush into battle to fight vader only to be outmatched? do you think she thought of his lightsaber reflecting off vader's helmet? what about the look in his eyes? padmé was buried, do you think she wondered about what happened to anakin's body? do you think she looked for him?

Shipping is fun and all but I swear every single time someone makes a comment, whether as a joke or in a legitimate analysis, about there being "no other explanation" for a pair's interactions, I lose just a bit more of my sanity

Like, no, you guys don't get it. Romance is not about the Amount of devotion, it's about the COLOR. the FLAVOR of it all. a character can be just as devoted to their platonic friend as they are to their romantic partner, and they don't love either of them more, just differently.

But because the majority of people still have it stuck in their minds that romance exists on the highest tier of love, I'm stuck seeing endless takes that boil down to "these two care about each other too much for it to NOT be romantic" as if that's the core determining factor to how literally any of this works

In conclusion: stop telling me that I don't understand the story if I don't interpret the leads as romantic, I am TIRED

#analysis #meta #miscellaneous #fandom #shipping #media discussion #amatonormativity #lgbtq #I feel like tagging any of the fandoms I was thinking of when writing this would be a little mean-spirited potentially #Disclaimer: no one has actually been telling me personally that I don't understand any story in particular #It's just that the way people tend to phrase their analyses feels unnecessarily targeted at the reader and that's just. not great #even if I agree with every other point they make

we all love timeloops, but what piece of media introduced you to the concept? i feel like it says a lot about how and why someone enjoys them. reblog and tag with your first loop!

#digi discusses #im sure most commonly it will be groundhog day. that was my first experience with timeloops too #but i am so curious and need to know about every timeloop story that exists #also alternatively if you cant remember what the first was just tag with the one that you love the most!#i know i did not become a true timeloop girlie until oxenfree of course

"Hermes is the god of thieves so he's fine with art theft!" No.

"Dionysos wouldn't mind it he's chaotic!" No.

"Hephaistos is a machinery god and AI is machinery so it's okay!" No.

"The gods wouldn't even care they just want offerings!" No.

There is not, and never has been, a reason to offer the gods AI art. It requires absolutely no effort or thought on your part as a worshipper, which defeats the purpose of an offering.

Do not support the use of AI art at ALL, much less as something given to Them.

"But it's all I can give!" Water. The Theoi fully accept a glass of water.

Sing.

Do a craft.

Write a letter.

Draw.

Dedicate a task.

Please do not offer those you worship something so lackluster and thoughtless as a computer generated image that destroys our environment and piggybacks off the works of others.

even dogs pass the mirror test

#hello again everyone. how's it going #isat loop #in stars and time #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #isat #lucabyteart #isat spoilers #so. had this idea Before getting my hands on the artbook and being validated. literally have a voice note from 4:30am on the 8th where #i frantically noted down this just horrid horrid horrid caption because i'd been musing on the sasasap Dress line all day i suppose #just kind of rotating in my brain the way any kind of first time trying on new clothes for them would be .#just absolutely mental breakdown material and not one i think would be recovered from quickly. they hate being in their own skin #like. a lot? like a lot. the collateral of any kind of transfemme read was barely in my mind until it ended up relevant again while i was #actively working on this. because christ that's a bad combo. 2x different forms of body dysphoria in one. maybe even 3x somehow #plus any scenario where they get clothes is... likely gifted. something they react viciously negatively to in game and i doubt #would improve thereafter. just a veritable katamari of disgust and self-loathing #like i was mostly just thinking abt how a lot of our collective depictions of loop being alienated from their body are rather abstract #in a body horror way mostly. on account of loop being more of a metaphor than a person half the time. so i think i wanted to depict #something closer to just. a human level of body dysphoria. no focus on the whole duplicate thing just... raw disgust for the self #but with the addition of recent discussion and playing ball more with the she/her loop and transfem loop angle...#scenario of leaning into femininity to try throw off suspicion on who they are PLUS realising they might want that PLUS the party #trying to use this to bond with them PLUS body dysphoria PLUS new!gender dysphoria PLUS the usual revulsion for wanting and desire #like. that is a catastrophic combination . not coming out of that one without it getting worse for a few weeks thereafter #that's a real lash out at everyone around them and then recede in shame type breakdown. which im sure looks interesting from #the party's pov because jesus christ that touched a nerve something awful (<- they only have half the context AT BEST)#. so . there's your free scenario to ponder on if you'd want to. seeing as ive done a picture without a shitload of words on it for once #ALSO don't get smart with me in the tags about the mirror test being an absolutely ass test in most regards re: self-awareness #or that things like minnows pass it. i'm a fellow pedant dont worry. it's just that minnow doesn't really have the same ring as dog yknow?#this is supposed to be like an absolutely excruciatingly self loathing thought spoken aloud of a caption. it's pithy and cruel on purpose #and more than a little inspired by (reblogged yesterday) liminal space's 'there is no other dog. it's just you'

tessa, being the edgy little freak she is, obviously took the original darkxwolf username

#synemy is like a fun fic go read that #inspired by some chatter in the archives where tessas username was discussed and i suggested “darkxwolf16”#synemy drone tessa is quite the enigma. i dont draw other peoples oc designs often so it took a bit to get the hair a way i like #you can see it changing inbetween panels if you care hard enough #i think im getting better with like poses or stuff #im not hating myself nearly as much when i draw hands so thats gotta be a positive #putting tessa in a drone body so uzi can strangle her for taking the name #otherwise she would've found a way to strangle her own bits of code. hell hath no fury like a doorman scorned #art #murder drones #murder drones uzi #murder drones tessa #drone!tessa #synemy #never thought i'd use tags like these but well here we are #hi kalpeavaris if you somehow stumble your way onto this

What a lovely family portrait👨🏻‍👨🏻‍👦🏻🖼️

Enhanced image of A-Yuan's first sword flight.

#Modern AU WWX is a pro skateboarder who got vestibular damage after a head injury and-#-has such bad vertigo he can never skate again. But has to keep finding excuses to not reveal his affliction.#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #a-yuan #ask #I honestly have no idea if A-yuan would have flown via sword before this point.#But I can absolutely see him being 1) So delighted and 2) Very Unaware of the danger of hieghts.#At the age he is - it's also likely that he just trusts that these adults will keep him safe.#This is all to say: A-yuan's danger sense is not yet developed and flying is the coolest thing that has happened to him. Maybe ever.#The discussion in the comic tags/comments about how sword flight got me thinking about how it works when someone had passengers #If using a sword requires having a goldern core - what about riders who don't?#I have to imagine it is like currents and magnets. And LWJ is the only one who is magnetized to the sword.#WWX is but a unpolarised clown on a swiftly moving object with a low friction quotient.#He's not the untamed anymore. He's the untethered. He made it through the trip through sheer force of will and hand strength.#The only equivalent I have is #He keeps refusing to get in cars/buses because he 'loves to walk'. He mourns his days of sick drops. Chenqing is his walkman.

you always land on all fours

#umineko #umineko spoilers #ikuko hachijo #ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long #now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more #overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way #like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism #the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery #^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend #(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of #to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers #and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's #entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in #featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is #putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine #not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c #i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case #with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her #insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite #to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the #ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry #her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part #like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very #similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime #which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person #hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee
