Hello again!

Well, now I'm posting these out of order lol...But here is my belated entry for the prompt Protect!

As soon as I read the prompt, I was struck by the image of Ingo bravely protecting the main character. (I, too, am a fan of the "Duncle Ingo" concept haha).

I'm not exactly sure of the story here (ambiguity is fun!), but it looks like Akari had a bad run-in with a Zoroark. She's lucky Ingo found her! (Don't worry! They'll be okay!).

More comments under the cut

I originally wanted a shadow of the threatening Pokemon looming onto the rocks behind them, but I wasn't able to figure out how to do that. So, I decided to try to make some fun ghost flames instead and threw in the Zoroark claws. But now I think the paws look kind of silly. (They kind of look like bear paws...). Oh well.

I'd like to color this one day! I definitely want the ghost flames and Ingo's eyes to pop! I imagine his eyes shine in a very cool manner in dramatic moments.

This is the first finished Hisui Ingo drawing I've made so far. Drawing both older and young ingo has made me appreciate their designs more -- it's amazing how a few tweaks in style can make a fella with a simple design look a bit older!

just my opinion but the way some ppl zero in on jon’s aversion to ‘feminine’ women without acknowledging that this is pretty clearly a trauma response kinda sets me on edge. jon very obviously does not take issue with feminine traits, see: sam, and so you know that the true issue isn’t so clear cut. imo the issue lies in the fact that jon being at the wall means that his little world does not really expand to the female sector. he’s surrounded by men. allllll men. (my worst nightmare.) and many of the women he does meet actually slot nicely into the non-conforming sector he’s comfortable with because he was raised with a binary ‘traditional conforming lady v all the other women’ idea. so. femininity is not jon’s issue. it’s how femininity is presented through traditional noble ladyhood (or whatever it’s called). jon associates this stuff with bad memories because of trauma. dun dun dun. like woahh it also serves as a character flaw, but let’s not dumb it down to ‘jon just rly doesn’t like feminine women.’ like no. that’s not what’s going on. it’s because of exposure. it’s the dynamics he was exposed to, and because of that he has issues. these issues are only reinforced by selyse who’s… not a good person. selyse is the first true conforming lady jon meets in a long while and all she does is reinforce his notions that traditional ladies aren’t for him. does that make jon’s comments okay? no. but what jon actually needs is to meet up with sansa or meet other conforming ladies who fit the traditional noble lady archetype. he basically needs exposure therapy.

like. you’ll also notice that his thought: ‘a warrior princess, he decided, not some willowy creature who sits up in a tower, brushing her hair and waiting for some knight to rescue her’ is sooo stereotypical. my dude doesn’t know shit and is literally going with the most classic fairytale lingo he can imagine. it’s honestly silly. also, while the language is misogynistic (i obvi agree there), it also sets jon up as a character who appreciates active women and as an active helper to those women.

so yeah. 1. trauma 2. he doesn’t know shit 3. misogynistic lang 4. he respects and appreciates how val is active and takes her life into her own hands despite the circumstances she’s in.

something important to note is that val is also feminine. she just doesn’t fit into the traditional lady archetype, which is why we get that quote. val’s a princess to jon, he just can’t bring himself to slot her into the traditional conforming lady binary he understands, which is why we get warrior princess. (tbh i’m now seeing this quote as growth for jon? he was allowing himself to see beyond the binary here.)

so yeah.

turning this into a… ‘jon wouldn’t like dany because she’s feminine’ is like the worst way to interpret this. like just say you don’t like snowstorm and jon and go 👍

Yall quick question for those who play genshin with Lumine!Traveler.

Spoilers ahead...

So I don't remember if it's part of the Chasm quest or if it's the interlude between Inazuma and Sumeru but Dain comes back for his yearly appearance (🫶) and we tour the underground, upside down city and learn where the abyss goes to "die"

And at one point, we stumble upon like 3 hilichurls that r dying and- as Aether!Traveler- we see next to them is Lumine's Inteyvats that 1) show her presence and 2) show her connection/existence at the time of the cataclysm??? Maybe??? (Idk bro there's too much time travel/loop lore and it's messing with me T-T)

But if ur playing with Lumine, what do u see? Bc as far as ik Abyss Aether doesn't look any different from player Aether other than u kno... visibly more squinty and evil so he wouldn't have flowers to leave behind methinks???

Idk I'm just curious about how some of the cutscenes play out based on the twin u pick if anyone would like to help pls and thanc🙏

branching off my tags from that last post because they got horrendously off topic and im trying to get slightly better with that but aaghgghg

for a while i was thinking that russ wouldn't have very many written segments from his own POV because he's supposed to be really mysterious and kinda shady to not only everybody else but the reader as well, at least to a certain extent. i wouldn't want to accidentally allude to certain events that could give away his whole deal, and also seeing things from his "eyes" could downplay some of the vagueness & strangeness of his character

but now that i've got a couple of his POVs under my belt i'm realizing i've written him in a way that works . pretty well for those things i think! because he's a character who very very intentionally does not think about the things that are bothering him, or even properly acknowledge or process when he is thinking about those things because he'd rather it be a passing mention in his stream of consciousness instead of something to really dwell on.

like with scenes like this, russ knows something's up. edge is somewhat okay at pretending to be normal, but it was still weird to bring russ out for drinks as a thanks for chasing off his brother, and now he's very intentionally ordering russ more alcohol after not saying anything when russ drank the glass that was supposed to be his, and after confirming that russ is drinking on an empty stomach

this is, objectively, shady as hell and russ isn't actually dumb enough to fall for it, despite how much i make fun of him lol. but he's still so deep in denial that he doesn't even try to question it. because even though he hates alcohol, he doesn't hate the distraction it gives him, and he does NOT want to acknowledge that he would purposely allow someone to manipulate him like this

this is also definitely why he's lowkey binge drinking and not at all bc my friends & i are all doing our 20s wrong and don't go to bars or drink like at all so google is my only reference for how people do that shit. its in character for him to binge drink anyway WHATEVERR

which is all word vomit just to say: i probably still won't give him very many POV fics because having as much as every other character definitely would chip away at the mystery surrounding him, or at least make him a bit less of an almost mythical figure in the narrative, but in the bits he does have i will probably keep writing him like this lmao

it's good to see that he's constantly thinking and floundering but i really want to have that balance between him being this kinda-crazy-but-mostly-normal-if-you-squint, borderline invincible, unbreakable leader figure from everyone else's POV, but then from his own he's just someone who got shoved into this position and trying to do his best in insane situations all the goddamn time and he's tired but if he ever acknowledges how tired he is he might not be able to keep going and everyone is counting on him so he's gotta keep fucking going forever and ever and ever no matter what

my boy-coded behaviour for most my life makes my exploration of gender due to newfound freedom era lean more into feminine things but my anti-capitalist feminist value system makes this feel like a betrayal of my moral code.

if snape really loved lily he would never call her a slur, join the organization who wanted people like her dead and abuse her son

welcome to the cruel harsh reality of the world, anon, in which people who love each other sometimes do bad things to one another

Me pondering: kids are capable of going through and understanding complex problems and their feelings should be taken seriously when it counts.

Me practically: who are all these annoying fucking kids in the milgram fandom and why are they posting the worst takes and most irrelevant bullshit I've ever seen ever???

I think these are valid to coexist.
