If you say “kill/eat the rich” you’re gale, if you say “yeah rich people suck but the real thing that’s killing us is the system that allows them to get so rich in the first place, we need to dismantle that” then you’re katniss. Gale isn’t the worst character in the books, he is just a victim of his environment. He’s so full of anger and resentment, so of course Coin is going to take advantage of that. That’s what makes a perfect soldier for a new dictators army. Suzanne’s whole point with gale is that he starts like any of us do, but katniss actually has the perspective of meeting all of these capital citizens and sees them as people, while Gale is incapable of seeing them as human. If you want to win a revolution, you need to humanize the perceived enemy in order to see who/what the real oppressors are.

I want you guys to know in advance that I do plan on making Cinderella’s Castle fanart after the digital ticket is released.

It will be tagged for spoilers, which will be removed after the pro-shot is released.

Technically a recolour but I finished the piece! I'm a little sad about having to change Ingo's design and colour for the prompt but all things considered he came out pretty good! He also came out pretty fast, just about under 10 total hours. Here's the lineart for him, this took about 6 hours on its own!

This makes 2 submas AUs I've snuck into my VisArts project so far :)

Sorry I’m not replying to messages. I do see them. I’m answering some asks and posting a bit of random thought stuff on twitter but I’m feeling kind of like I’m retreating to my old hermit state of internet usage.

These past few weeks I haven’t had energy to do a lot of stuff. It currently takes a lot out of me to reply individually because I’m trying to secure a job for myself again. So a lot of my energy is put there and worrying about my finances and future…

Thank you for the support as always and I’ll try to respond as soon as I feel I can give a decent response to DMs.

As for art stuff, I thought about starting to post again but due to the recent AI stuff that was released about sketches being converted to lineart easily, I got a bit paranoid again so it might take a while. I’m reading comics between breaks and rediscovering my love for stories so that’s good

Sloane brainrot is TOO REAL!!! what's a day in the life of a darling? i love them already

They're a soft touch, really! They absolutely get the full gamut of being taken care of, though - Sloane works out meal plans for them (which they bring them, they probably have their own refrigerator and are mostly trusted with butter knives and forks), makes sure there are things to do in their room (they keep their darlings in a soundproofed spare room!) like books and a television, and aside from the many locks on their door it's a pretty comfy place to be!

They also have a pillbox that they are expected to take with no exceptions, though. Sloane says that they're mostly vitamins and such (counteracting not going outside and not getting much fresh air), but . . . Well. Some of them are not just vitamins, and darling might often find themselves woozy and uncomfortable and unable to keep hold of themselves.

So it's a good job that Sloane always comes to visit them when their shifts are over to take care of them and cuddle them and kiss them and reassure them and love on them and more, isn't it?

MAJOR JRWI: THE SUCKENING EP 4 SPOILERS UNDER CUT (a really long post theorizing about what’s going to happen)

/

Okay, what happened to Emizel?

I’ve done some reading, and he might be alright. So here’s me showing how damage and death works in Vampire The Masquerade v20. Also known as stage 1: denial.

(Fair warning, I’m putting a few screenshots from the official book, and some of the language used is outdated and potentially offensive.)

So, damage is pretty simple in VTM, there’s 3 basic types: bashing, lethal, and aggravated.

Bashing is like your everyday cuts and bruises, which is the least worrisome type of damage you can take in this game. Depending on the severity, it takes a couple hours to recover at most.

Lethal is a little more scary. Lethal damage is basically anything that would cause a mortal to die upon receiving it. To kindred, these sorts of wounds can be healed but need time and attention.

Aggravating is the worst, and if you remember the fight that Emizel got into, that’s the type Daybreaker (I think that was his name? Correct me if I’m wrong) was dealing. It is basically any sort of supernatural damage taken, from vampire fangs, the sun, or something like werewolf claws. This type of damage can basically insta kill a vampire, causing them to skip a health level and go straight to The Final Death.

Which, brings me to my next point. If Emizel suffered so much damage, how is he alive?

Basically, it’s fingers crossed he’s just entered Torpor. Torpor is like a half step away from the Final Death (which is exactly what it sounds like, it’s basically permanent game over for any vampire).

This is too much info to summarize so give these screenshots a quick read to better understand health levels in this game:

From this we can assume that Emizel is definitely either in Torpor or in the Final Death, but for now I’m just laying everything on the latter.

He’s not just Incapacitated as, based on Charlie’s description, he was actively losing his blood as it evaporated in front of his eyes. He’s definitely unfortunately all dried up atm.

Before the second hit, Emizel took 3 points of aggravating damage and was described somewhere between mauled and health level -5. A very bad place to be. When he tried to flee, Charlie made note to say he could only get about 1 yard away, which is exactly as health level -5 describes.

After he takes another hit, he loses consciousness. We can assume at this point he immediately enters Incapacitated, but as he was rapidly losing blood and was not offered the chance to use blood points, we can also conclude he probably entered Torpor.

Torpor is very close to death and very much not good news, and we can’t expect to see any Emizel for the next good bit. While I didn’t screenshot it all of it, I did read into humanity to figure out just how long that is.

Humanity levels 10-8 are considered above humans. Kindred with this level of humanity go above and beyond when it comes to ethics, and it’s safe to assume Emizel is not there.

7 is considered normal, upset with death and crime, your sort of everyday citizen stuff. This is where most mortals sit.

6-5 is your average vampire range, and it’s safe to assume Emizel is somewhere in there. This range is noted as being okay with certain crime, and considering Emizel’s love for arson and repeated attacks on rival gang members, it suits his character. 4 is where thing start to get iffy, so I’m unsure that Emizel is that low yet.

It’s also important to remember that Emizel lost a humanity level due to his nightmares in episode 3. That’s not great, as the time period for Torpor recovery is dramatically different depending where he is between 6-5.

If he was at level 6 in this episode, he will be out for the next month. To be at level 6, it is assumed that he started at level 7 before ep 3, which given the description and what we know of his character I am a little unsure. With him having killed those Fang members, I think that pushes closer into the 6 range for the beginning of the campaign.

If he was in level 5 in this episode, assuming that he started at level 6, he will be out for the next year. That is a long amount of time considering the stakes of the story currently, and would render him out of the main game.

It really all depends on how Condi and Charlie decide to play this, there’s a very real possibility that Emizel may just be unplayable. Simply put, it’s up to the DM on how nice he wants to be here. I’m not sure how close to this book they’re staying, or if exceptions might be made.

This also completely relies on the idea that Emizel isn’t just in Final Death. Considering he’s lost both of his arms, all of his skin, and who knows what else, that’s really up in the air right now. It’s completely possible his body is just too far gone. Who knows, maybe by some miracle he’s just Incapacitated, that’d be great!

There also might be more exceptions to these rules I haven’t read (I really only read like 5 pages out of the 500 or so) or I could be missing some other important information, so take everything I said with a grain of salt. I’m just… really hoping he’s okay and this is how I’m rationalizing the way he could be.

If you made it to the end of this long long post, congratulations, please tell me what you think and how you feel this is going to go!!

I just spent like an hour typing this out on my phone and I don’t think I’m going to proofread it as it is just rambling 👍 but kudos to you for sticking through it
