Leblanc!Jayce & Mel

I was going through Arcane frame by frame and found these. Had fun drawing.

Fun fact (not): Everyone whose form Leblanc was taking are dead.

There is no way Damien ever sat on the therapy sofa™ like a normal person.

Love & Country

Release date (Windows, Mac OS, Steam) English: June 20th, 2024

"The year is 1916 and the world has been embroiled in a war greater than any before it. Only kilometers from the front, Lillian Sinclair trains in the art of seduction as an American spy for the France’s intelligence agency, the Deuxième Bureau. As the war intensifies, Lillian is suddenly thrust into her first assignment: rescue a fellow agent deep in enemy territory. Caught off guard, she has to juggle her inexperience and her complicated feelings for Emile—her reluctant, brooding French partner with a sharp tongue—and Anton, the kind but mysterious German gentleman who seems almost too good to be true. Pushed to her limits, Lillian will discover what she’s made of and what matters most."

Sigh of the Abyss

Release date (Windows, Steam) English: October 11th, 2024

"As the Envoy, you are the product of a bloody ritual—mortal in appearance, yet imbued with the monstrous powers of the Abyss.

The men and women that sacrificed their life for yours guide you with their whispers, showing you how squalor and excess coexist side to side, how most toil while a few feast.

Did the Abyss bestow upon you supernatural strength and agility? Do you have the power to manipulate the shadows and see what they see? Perhaps your dark gift is prying open the minds of others only to break them and have them do your bidding.

The four humors color the tone of your responses and your personality, from the carefree sanguine to the thoughtful phlegmatic, from the anxious melancholic to the fiery choleric.

Will you stay friends, turn into bitter rivals, or seek something more with your companions?"

This is a commercial game for Windows by Rascal Devworks! You can buy it from itch.io here, or from Steam here.

Player+Player Character: a 16+ nichelink relationship/relationship dynamic where the one is the "player" and the other is the "player character," akin to the dynamic between the real-life player and the fictional character they're playing.

this could be considered a subset of Artist+Art depending on how you interpret it. this relationship may include but is not limited to:

the people in the relationship relating to or wanting a dynamic like Original+Clone or Artist+Art, but not quite vibing with those terms

attraction terms like horror, philautic, aemulity, egocidal, fictkinial etc

the player character being a headmate who split off from or was introjected from the player, or the player character being an introject of a self insert/sona made by the player

terms like intuscharacter, desircharacter, desirfictional, dissovideogame, desirprogrammed, desirmanipulated, desirindoctrinated, or similar terms

the player being kin/introject/stel/etc of a character who controlled the player character in their shared media canon

Been rewatching Atypical…

Me when I see a new post in my favorite podcast tag:

[real-a-anorexia-recovery-journal]

I think something that has helped me a lot is seeking out media that has prominent fat characters who are positive role models and who's weight isn't their entire existence. Julie Murphy books will always have a special place in my heart and so will all of the Faith comics from Valiant. That's where my profile picture comes from. She's a plus sized woman and who is a superhero and her weight literally never comes up. She just gets to be this happy-go-lucky hero with forcefields, telekinesis, and flight. She's a joy. The other things that have helped is finding art that sparks joy. I've been a big fan of Jijidraws for someone on tumblr but shit like old Greek statues or my fucking boy Peter Paul Rubens or the Bathers by Renoir.

Is that what you want? Do you want me to apologize?

Hah! You've fallen for my trap... That's right. I've tricked you into a character analysis post with angst art. How devious.

OKAY so …I listened to A Neon Darkness. I have thoughts. Damien is such an interesting, insanely well written and endlessly frustrating character, and I honestly went into the show expecting him to improve over time.

I think part of that is that I (a pretty neurodivergent person) relate to his inability to read other people’s wants, and to me it was… really obvious how he could solve his own problems? Despite what he may believe, he’s not the only person in the world who struggles to connect. And somewhat ironically, that very disconnect is what made me empathize with him.

But unlike everyone else in the show, he also doesn’t try.

He wants to have actual connections to people, but refuses to express his feelings or even make the slightest attempt to control his power. He wants to understand others, but refuses to ask what they want until it’s the last possible option. He wants others to forgive him when he can’t even forgive himself. It’s like he wants to want to change, but can’t bring himself to actually do anything differently.

If, at any point in his story, he had taken accountability for his actions, his life could have been totally different. If he’d just tried to control his powers when the Unusuals asked him to, if he’d given any of his therapists an actual chance, if he’d brought Mark to Dr. Bright like he agreed to, if he’d listened when Mark said he wanted to go back, then he could have gotten what he wanted. Hell, he could have solved most of his problems with some guided meditation and online chats. But instead he acts as though he has no agency or responsibility in his own life. He puts all the responsibility of changing his situation on the people around him.

It’s also fascinating to me how close he gets to understanding. At the end of Neon Darkness, Marley directly tells him that using his ability hurts people and that he would have been accepted if he’d put in effort. He has all of the answers laid out in front of him, yet he doesn’t connect the dots because he’s still convinced he’s the victim. This is especially present in the second half of the Roadtrip From Hell. He talks constantly about how violating his own power is… without ever realizing “Oh, this is how everyone around me feels all the time. That’s why no one feels safe around me.”

Damien could have everything he wants, and he’s the only person who doesn’t see it.
