#and also too conventionally attractive

Y'know, I see a lot of people argue that like, Jay is ugly. Why does Jon like him? And I've made it clear I disagree, because, like, cmon:

That is OBJECTIVELY a handsome man, and I'm a lesbian, lmao.

But like. If he was. ... So?

I actually think it's pretty cool that DC was like, yeah, Superman fell in love with a guy who cuts his own hair with dull scissors and dresses like oscar the grouch. He's a little weird to look at, maybe he's not the most conventionally attractive dude, but SUPERMAN found him wonderful and wanted to kiss him on the mouth.

That's... great? Like that's great. There's no universe where that reading of the text isn't awesome and empowering. Queer love should transcend looks and social status, and a huge part of queerness is finding beauty in the 'odd', anyways.

Ppl who relentlessly draw/write/HC/in any way portray canonically fat characters as skinny despite being extremely attracted to them give me this vibe

Like omg just admit you like a fat character and you’re attracted to that fat character. It is not a moral failing to find a person who’s not skinny attractive.

I promise you that fatphobia is a much bigger and uglier issue to tackle within yourself than seeing someone who’s fat as desirable.

The Mirror Visitor

I actually finished a book series in 2024 (and in like two months)

The world and magic (?) system is so fun and unique! And apparently I can't consume media without drawing something from it so: Ophelia at the beginning of the first book and then with her tunic/robe in Babel.

Bonus:

personally i think solas is bald because of one or more of these reasons:

woke up after uthenera, couldn't immediately access the fade without effort, had a nervous breakdown and shaved his head. who among us hasn't had an Emotional Haircut.

he does have a bit of the facial structure of a silmarillion elf, and might blow his cover as a Nondescript Elven Apostate™ if he also had the long flowing hair of a silmarillion elf.

easier to maintain and keep clean while doing his hobo lifestyle of wandering around alone in thedas.

he's worried about any surviving murals/statues of him with hair still existing, because that would be awkward if someone sees one and goes "wow, this 5000 year old artifact looks exactly like you! how funny :)"

mourning/penance ritual in elven culture. possibly even bc he feels bad about felassan but cannot otherwise acknowledge the implications. since that would imply that a) it was unnecessary to do that and b) if felassan was right, that means they ran a whole insurgency together, he survived the fall of arlathan and however long in a hostile thedas afterwards, and then fell to his oldest friend's hand for no reason. this would also make sense with zathrian's baldness.

some kind of "i'm locking in, i'm shaving all my hair to show i'm really serious about this quest and nothing will stop me" ritual in elven culture. this would also make sense with shartan, since his ashes ghost is bald too.

Clicking on any video with lee know in it and seeing 400 million "Wow his visual is no joke. He is most visual member. Do you guys even know he is conventionally attractive? Because he is visually conventional attractive. It's time for his kdrama. He is kdrama visual. He should be acting in kdrama bc he is conventionally attractive." Girl be quiet

february has blessed me with The Sickness (i'm down with it) so apologies for not posting much these past couple days

anyway i'm still waiting for someone to write that alenoaheather fake dating au where both heather and alejandro pretend to date noah- the least intolerable person on the plane besides each other- to make the other jealous and noah Lets It Happen because it's funny and he has nothing better to do (he's read all of his books and now he's bored)

What I love about this fandom is how we are all in love with Ferdinand despite him being the most unlikeable person ever. Like he is an anti-social, rude, cold-hearted, know it all snob and we love him all the more for it.

When he enters the story this is what we immediately learn about him, but he was kind to Myne. So we know there is more to him, but we have to wait till to get it. Until that moment in the Trombe subjugation we weren’t sure how to fell about Ferdinand nor how’d he react because he is always the first person to remind Myne of her place. She’s a commoner and despite guiding her he also doesn’t let her forget that. So when he backs Myne we finally know we can trust him like really trust him. And that he is someone to lean on.

And even before we learn his sad backstory(which again takes VOLUMES hell PARTS). We already love and trust him. His backstory doesn’t endear us to him, because we have long since had love for him. He doesn’t need a sad woobie backstory for us to feel for him and feel positively about him because like Myne he has long since proven himself to us. And while many people in story would liken spending time with him to torture, we know that despite all of that he is a good person, and loyal to a fault.

And honestly, he doesn’t really grow in that aspect, I mean he learns a little but the things I listed earlier are still very much his character flaws. He doesn’t grow past them, learn to be kinder, socialize more, or anything like that.

They’re still apart of his personality, they’re flaws but they are his.

And in keeping these flaws we retain the part of him the is undeniably Ferdinand.

We love Ferdinand despite the fact that if we met him in person many of us wouldn’t like him, and I think that’s one of the most fantastic things about AoaB

waiting for someone to say that luigi mangione is the irl five hargreeves but alas. i have to do everything myself

[oceanwithouthermoon]

my face when someone takes conventionally unattractive characters and makes them conventionally attractive as a way to make them more palatable and then gets defensive over it because they think not being conventionally attractive is an insult

[ianthesmells]

mouthwashing is a special experience because not only do you get to watch characters not take responsibility and not expect men in power to do anything to help women in the game, but you also get to watch the same reaction play out in real time in the fandom

Love the Bloody Mary Valentine card! I did some research and I found out the male version for Bloody Mary was actually 'Candyman' where if you say his name 5 times in the mirror, he'll appear and kill you with his hooked hand. There's even a movie of this too.

ah, i know of candyman. funny i didn't think of him as i was drawing, you said "genderbended bloody mary" and i immediately thought of just...

a spooky blood-covered ghoul of some kind

I've blocked every tag remotely related to the man from uncle movie but unfortunately a lot of people don't tag it in any way to distinguish it from the show and i am forced to continue seeing henry cavill's face
