This is probably gonna be a long one but I've got lots of thoughts so...

Season 1 Pix and Season 2 Pix are narrative opposites

S1!Pix is all about the future. Pixandria is, while ancient, was the most advanced empire to exist at the time. Hell, he even had visions of the future!

S2!Pix is all about the past. His empires is quite literally the past, he is a historian and archeologist, and he has the ability to see visions of the past.

My brain latched onto the idea of S1!Pix being some sort of prophet or old god as soon as a heard it and I've been trying to figure out how to fit something similar into S2!Pix, who seems to have chronic "just a guy" disease

That being said, I think I've got an idea!

What if S1!Pix and S2!Pix are both not just old gods but twin brothers. And, as is common for mythological twins, they are opposites.

S1!Pix represents the future. He is storms and copper and death.

Death may seem odd in this list, but death is not always the end of things and may instead mean the a change. And how are we told to grieve the death of a loved one if not to move forward, to look to the future.

S2!Pix represents the past. He is history and stories and preservation.

Now is were we really get into major headcannon territory!

My headcannon is the S1!Pix and S2!Pix were old minor twin gods around the time were the major gods banded together to seal away Exor with the enderdragon. Being minor gods the twins weren't part of the plan to seal away Exor and thus existed in a post-stags wold with little to no idea of what to do next.

This is where they butted heads.

S2!Pix wanted to preserve the legacy of the gods who gave their lives to seal away Exor and teach the people the history of what had happened.

S1!Pix, however, wished to move forward and not dwell on what had happened, instead wanting to go out into the people and see how the progressed.

The brothers argued before deciding to go their separate ways.

S1!Pix wandered for a while, which is where he got his wandering trader reputation, before finally settling in the dessert and founding the empire of Pixandria, always looking towards progress and the future of his empire.

S2!Pix stayed around Rivendell for a while, possibly even writing some of the books in the old library. Afterwords he also began to wander, before settling in the savanna and starting his museum dedicated to the past.

Eventually, many many years after the brother split from each other, and even many years after the great catastrophe that decimated Eastvale and the surrounding area, S1!Pix realized that he had no future left for himself in Pixandria. The empire was flourishing with little to no management from him and all the friends he had made were either dead or had moved on.

So, S1!Pix appointed a successor and left to try and find his estranged brother, who he found after several decades of searching.

The two were so very glad to see each other, having missed each other dearly. And yet, even being here with his brother, S1!Pix felt tired.

And so, with the last of his power and energy he created a small campfire with 12 chairs positioned around it. He imbued the fire with his spirit and he finally could rest.

And so, as S2!Pix said farewell to his brother, he also began to watch his brother's creation.

For, as any good storytellers know, great things tend to start around a campfire.

The kickstarter for Book of Devotion is now live!

Book of Devotion is an artbook dedicated to clerics, paladins, and the divine beings they worship. I've gotten very fond of the weirdass technocleric I designed, and I'm excited to share more about them (as soon as the mods let me). In the meantime though, the kickstarter will be open from April 29th to June 13th.

The absolute biggest thing I've learned as a trans guy: there is nothing more masculine and manly than not caring about looking or acting masculine or manly. Growing your masculinity or manhood takes time and care - you have no obligation to let the world water your garden when you can do that just fine (and you can, even if it doesn't feel like you can!)

Considering the working conditions on the feedlots and abattoirs that provide all the cheap meat that makes the US diet viable, it is pretty accurate to describe them as the "Hamburger Mines"

i was thinking about your dirk and hal poll and i want to mention that i think your concept for ink and iron where dirk creates hal from his reflection by enchanting a mirror is so cool 😌

thank you! hal's predicament and purpose within the canon narrative is so fascinating and i felt it was really important to find a way to explore what i find most interesting with him. i can't take full credit for the concept though i took inspiration from a few placees (one of my friends pitched the idea of the mirror accidentally dumping him onto jake's doorstop for example) but overall i think the idea is very fun and i'm really excited to write more hal stuff!!! also i'm going to take the opportunity to share this oldish doodle i found:

the mispelling of angel as angle was NOT intentional (<- dyslexia haver) but it probably explains a lot. he's pointy

sorry it's just that im obsessed with noir calling hobie 'doll' and 'darling' and 'sweetheart' and hobie calling noir 'love' and 'treacle' and 'pete' bcs they're affording themselves these little pieces of adoration and softness that their respective worlds never bothered to offer them

[buddiedaydreamer911]

i kinda want eddie and tommy to suddenly have an alpha battle for buck’s attention

i kinda want eddie all puffed chest and tommy all glaring at his friend

i kinda want buck to literally be between eddie and tommy, in a “who are you choosing” way

i kinda want christopher to appear in front of buck, calling for him and for buck to easily forget the whole “eddie? or tommy?” and approach christopher

i kinda want tommy to be smug that buck hasn’t made a choice yet

and i kinda want eddie to just cross his arms and smirk knowing that buck chose HIS son, choosing him by extent

i want eddie to fight for his buck and i want tommy to take the challenge

((this will be my next fic to write so stay tuned!!))
