A frustrating development with the growing lack of reading comprehension I've personally noticed is an emerging fervor of insisting things aren't canon unless they are explicitly stated beyond all reasonable doubt.
I can not emphasize enough how harmful a mindset this is to have. Yes, it's wonderful to have characters outright say "I'm trans," but to deny a character's identity for not saying that is dangerous.
Plenty of real people prefer not to use specific labels. Historically, people didn't have our modern terms or modes of expression. Many modern cultures don't use these terms, either, and plenty of people within those that do can't safely openly identify.
If the only representation you accept as canon is within modern (and let's be honest, wealthy white able-bodied American) standards, then you are denying yourself and others a huge amount of representation and seriously limiting the media around you.

heyyy 😛🙏 whats ur favourite stuilly headcanon?? you have so many, but whats ur fav
i think my fav has to be the whole thing about them loving animals. like i just can’t see stu and billy killing animals.
i believe the whole thing about stu hunting and maybe even billy but i feel like after that started killing people they gave up on that, but even before i feel like they’d never kill animals .
i wouldn’t see billy actively like adopting pets or anything even as an adult but stu? STU ADORES ANIMALS WHEN HE AND BILLY LIVE TOGETHER AFTER EVERYTHING HE WANTS SO MANY ANIMALS
idc if they’re dead they’re alive to me but anyway
anyway this is a little based on the fact that stu canonically has a dog and maybe even a cat considering it was in his garage right before tatum died
BUT YEAH STU AND BILLY COULD NEVER HATE ANIMALS !!!!!!!

Okay I have a question. What do we think was Richie & Ambers plan if Tara didn’t decide to get her inhaler at Ambers house? Like I am not against plot contrived “we gotta go into this party” moments in Scream movies honestly I’m not criticizing the writers for that - I’m asking for an in universe explanation because I’m currently drawing a blank.
Tara just happened to need to stop at Ambers house but what if she didn’t? What if she said she could hold out & wait til they could get to a pharmacy? What if she suggested stopping at her own house instead of Ambers?
It’s just kinda funny like, he was fake against going to the house which makes sense - but also - what was the actual plan here?

Hi, I saw your last post!
It's a bit funny to me. I moved from Sonic to Castlevania precisely because Discourse made it intolerable to me, only to see that many people who produced content back in the day moved out of Castlevania for... Discourse, let's just say. But I think I still got the right timing, because not only I found a small yet tightknit community of game fans where I was free to be creative in my own way, now the game fandom is getting fed in all sorts of tasty ways <3
Anyway, my point is, while at first I didn't really like reblogging old art (which was a problem since the best art I've seen was made, like 10 years ago lol), you were one of the artists I found during my binge. I think your CV art is still striking to this day, although I have no doubts that you've improved further since then :) I especially like the way you use thick lines and bright colors, and the soft way you draw faces and the waves of the hair
(also, well, I'm biased because CoD is my favorite CV game, and you have drawn some spectacular Hector, Isaac and Trevor <3)
I think I just wanted to say that I fully understand the feeling of having to distance yourself from something you love, but still being tied to it. And if you ever decide to come back... we're using the tag "akumajou dracula" now. For Reasons ;)
Take care!
Hi there! Thanks for popping in ✨️
As someone who just watches from afar these days, seeing the paradigm shift starting to happen in the CV fandom right now has been pretty vindicating and uplifting! It is a much better time to be an active fan of the games than it was when I was participating in the community a few years ago, that's for sure.
I'm still really grateful even my old and less polished work was able to bring some joy to newcomers to the fandom though! It's been a really pleasant surprise to see the influx of engagement lately and I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by to mention it. I like to at least think my work has seen some improvement since then, so perhaps I'll put that theory to the test if I ever revisit some of my old CV art in the present 😂
Hector and Trevor are my beloveds right next to Leon and Mathias, all of which rotted my brain for immeasurable hours of my life, but they are hours I look back upon very fondly! It'd be a treat to draw them again some day with (potentially) new and improved skills and now seems like a great time to do so at that. I may not be an active participant in the fandom nowadays, but I will always be a lover of the franchise regardless 💙
Thank you for your kind words and the heads-up about the tag! I'll be sure to use it if I have anything new to bring to the scene.

My thoughts on the gods as pieces of the Luxon theory::
I have never been a fan of the Luxon as a deity— idk if I ever posted but before Matt confirmed its divinity I had a huge theory that it was a false god. — but I swear that doesn’t play into the thoughts I have about this theory.
It just doesn’t sit right to me because from all that we have been told about the Luxon it is pretty native to Exandria and its place of existence.But what we have always been told about our main pantheon, and just shown in that flashback, is that they found their way to Exandria and decided to make it theirs
(or less decided according to opening and more forced to take a stand against the elementals which is TRAGIC BUT i digress)
Exandria is where they ended up from after the nothing came for them. The way it has always been framed, especially after watching this scene points to them having origins elsewhere in my brain.
The Luxon scattered itself across Exandria to share itself with its creations and it seems like the Deities are from somewhere else entirely. We saw into a plan that we don’t quite understand— seemingly??? Different from the divine planes we know, though it’s been too long since I was entrenched in this lore to remember those sorts of specifics to be sure. But still!
Contact with this plane of existence changed every single one of them fundamentally and tied them each to something that was more concrete than they had ever been before, so the idea that their origins lie anywhere near Exandria doesn’t click for me.
If I’m missing new lore please lmk or if you have anything to add to the theory, I haven’t seen much in depth thought about it so this is just my first reaction.
