Blades in the Dark character… she’s technically a backup character but I love her so much. Not what she seems. Her name is Mary Hindley (or Dr. Ingerwood, depending on who asks).

The little guy is Pip, a friend’s character.

I drew so much Blades art today and I can’t share it anywhere yet bc I’m so fucking insane about it. And my crewmates will see and get spoiled!!!! That’s not for you to know yet!!! Excited to be starting this game back up. Slowly…

I swear if and when I post Fragments there's gonna be people who unironically completely believe everything Reptir says. They're gonna believe that Tintoa is lying or hallucinating and that Carcer cannot live independently due to his disability. The latter is an insult to my writing ability, because I have an actual character who CAN'T live independently due to his disability and you bet your ass I do NOT infantilize her the way Reptir does Carcer. The former is just a really, really fucked up thing to say about a victim of gaslighting.

Why you need to double-check before posting something:

P.S. The rebloggers:

[koscheys-skull]

This point is an entirely different and unrelated subject that has and had absolutely nothing to do with the original reason or point of me making this post in any way.

However, as an entirely different subject that IS related to cultivation of relationships with spirits, it isn't wrong and is also a good point.

Something I keep repeating over and over again.

You must cultivate your relationships.

It sounds silly. It sounds like something that should be common sense. But I feel like I have had to tell so many people that you need to give as well as be open and recieving.

Your relationships with the Divine (and anyone) must be tailored gently. "I saw this thing and it reminded me of you" so you send a link or a photo to someone you care about? Yeah that principle applies to the Divine, too. A rock. A photo. A piece of art. You bring them.

You also sit and talk. Have a coffee. Have a drink. Water. Dinner. You share a meal. You hold conversations. You hang out and bask in an afternoon setting sun and admire the birds.

If you are not doing this, That's why your relationships with the Divine feel flat and empty. It is not just about going through the motions, lighting a candle, offering incense. It isn't just about routine and saying the words. Your work with the Divine isn't your 9-5 job. And it doesn't deserve the same cold detachment you treat your job. It isn't to pay your bills. It's for spiritual and personal enrichment and growth.

BRANDON SKLENAR as SPENCER DUTTON 1923 ‧ War and the Turquoise Tide

"Why did Monty do That?"

Or: the wall arc, explained!

The shortest possible version is: it's an extension of his boundary-testing behavior, in addition to testing the level of importance he holds in the clusterfucks. He was testing Annabel and Lenore both, with this, trying to see at which point either of them would snap and hit him (literally or metaphorically- he just wants to find that line)

The slightly longer version is:

We see this repeated boundary-testing behavior from Monty time and time again. Like a dog who's been kicked before, he has to know what territory is safe and where the 'hard' line is for what's "unacceptable". He pushes Lenore, invades her mind, tries to get her friends to kill her, because he wants to see when she shows her teeth.

He makes a show of wanting to torture (and actually torturing) Berenice and Eulalie, because he wants to see if that is where Lenore's line lies, or if someone will stop him then.

He makes Ada get on her knees and bark for him because he wants to see if she'll stick to her "we could work together" beliefs, or if she'll cave to someone dehumanizing her. It's a more assessing kind of boundary-pressing, but.. undeniably, it's boundary-pressing all the same.

He directly challenges Annabel's authority by suggesting something so patently ludicrous as murder- because he wants to see if and when she or Prospero will tell him 'no', if they'll actually follow through on any display of their power.

It's a very "me, who's been eating the chess pieces while they're not looking" attempt at assessing Annabel's power, granted- he doesn't understand his own sway in the group because he pointedly underestimates Will's devotion to him- but Annabel does, and knows that a direct "no" is an unwise move. She redirects- and that's not a 'hard' line, so.. Monty follows through.

He find's Duke's line, very clearly- and Lenore's and Pluto's, too. He gets what he wants from this: finding the hard lines of a majority of the people around him. Morella doesn't play with phonies, so he makes Annabel push her to (and over) her line; Pluto becomes brave to the point of willing to kill in the face of his friends in danger; Duke won't keep the peace if you try to kill him (..obviously); Lenore loses her ever-present sympathy if you go for her confidantes. And, he finds Annabel's line, in a way, too: she's not letting him act like he's entirely unaffected by his stunts anymore. She refuses to entertain his facade. If he wants to play his stupid games, she'll give him the prize he wants: a line that she refuses to let him cross.

The arc happens because Montressor is a deeply unhealthy person who copes supremely maladaptively with his own trauma. He forces the establishment of these hard lines because he feels more secure knowing where they lay- because The Line has to be somewhere before murder, and he has to find where that point is.

(We also see this play out in ch120- he's uncertain as Will moves the line, he doesn't know where his own lines lay, and when Will dies and comes back with seemingly no knowledge of the line he pushed, Monty is left shaken both by the events that just happened and the knowledge that other people mirror his unhealthy behaviors and boundary-testing)

this is an announcement

[knotboy-dean]

I do think the death scene should’ve been bloodier and gory and Bilbo should’ve been hysterical and panicking and trying to physically hold Thorin’s guts in his body with his bare hands and his sleeves get stained with blood but he doesn’t care about that stuff anymore and it actually ends up being a comfort because it’s all he has left
