In your Spitfire AU between Azula gaslight gatekeep girlboss attitude and Lu Ten II big puppy eyes they’re unstoppable duo

Woe betide those who stand in their way to greatness (aka Zuzu).

That's just their dynamic.#Zuko likes to pretend that Azula is a Bad Influence and this is all her fault because Ten Ten is a sweet innocent child who knew nothing...#...about emotional manipulation until she came around. Which is bullshit of course.#Kid had been outsmarting outsassing outbribing everyone around him since before he could write a haiku.#And that's saying something because a haiku is the first thing he wrote.#But it's okay.#Zuko is aware of all this. The whole Blaming Azula thing has long evolved from Coping Mechanism to being an Inside Joke.#He's resigned to being target of the Little Sibling Team by now. Someone save our Fire Lord.

have you ever felt the warmth of a god's happiness?
#cyrian lutare#anaris#dragon age#veilguard spoilers#datv spoilers#dragon age the veilguard#datv#freshly minted#something very insanity inducing to me about this line in the game about the depths of a god's regret but we can't get into all that rn.#it's so. it's soooo. like hear me out ok imagine being bellara. losing her brother to a forgotten one manipulating her brother thru empathy#and then losing rook a friend/lover to solas manipulating them through empathy. making them feel his regret. do you understand#pacing around in a circle. a being so powerful not being above emotion but instead feeling so much deeper and more intensely.#i am the regret of a god you-#ok banning myself from drawing for the next couple days bc this was not nice to my wrist LOLLL toxic yaoi will do that to you.

still i think the one of the more fun differences drawn between illario and lucanis that was lost would be illario's ability to endear himself to others but serious lack of empathy, vs. lucanis' (self perceived) inability to be charming but how much he cares. it's interesting that the game has gone with the "lucanis' ability vs illario's lack thereof" because i think illario being the dellamorte 'best in show dog' vs. lucanis' attack dog would have made me so unwell.
lucanis is... awkward. he's not unlikable, because he is usually very polite, but he doesn't speak much and only seems to care about the other dellamortes. he once sent viago de riva a knife with no note (who knows what he could have meant by this). he does what caterina asks of him, and by his own admission, cannot say no to her. he is a dramatic and prolific killer, and that makes how untouchable he is even worse.
and the crows like illario, sure, AND he's a good assassin! he's even a good crow! he's so good that he can make lucanis smile, and so he is the charming, sociable one. he's the one that stays in treviso and can be relied upon to care, illario's even the one people prefer over caterina and lucanis!
but illario is decoration. he's the prize poodle, and even if poodles were bred to be working dogs, nobody will ever pick him to protect the house over the german shepherd that regularly mauls intruders. anyways the analogy is getting away from me. the point i'm trying to make is that i want illario to have a different kind of jealousy/hatred that's not just over 'being bad at killing' but also an arrogant loathing for everyone around him that is getting harder to hide, because they've forgotten he can bite and is just itching to rip someone's jugular out. illario is very good at hiding his family resemblance to caterina, while lucanis suffers under his grandmother's, and his own, reputation.
#not helped that these ideas are probably fostered by caterina. she doesnt WANT lucanis to have FRIENDS she wants him to KILL THINGS lol#and her perceiving illario as someone who wants but wont rise against her would have been interesting#so she allows his charm and friendliness etc. because she wants him to ingratiate the house to other houses#she doesnt want him out the picture. she NEEDS him there to make people like lucanis. illario just isnt content with that#i will shut up about this. i promise.#like i wont. but im trying#lucanis dellamorte#illario dellamorte#and also i want illario to have a little more manipulative asshole going on he's not believable enough in game omg#i think the main issue i have is that lucanis should have . maybe. been a bit less agreeable. SORRY#but it would have been fun to see crow-like defensiveness slowly break away to reveal a caring polite and kind man#or at least a slow understanding of lucanis-language. like he said 'i dont care' but he meant 'i dont mind'#raised by a grieving and also repressed old italian woman will do this to you#thoo. i was pleasantly surprised at how sweet he was in the game to start but i think parallel wise this could have been fun is all#veilguard spoilers#dragon age#and also really sorry that this was brought upon by someone calling him a pursedog man in tags#which was very funny for 5 minutes and then i was like actually i can do something with this

heiress eternal
#so many thoughts about her#the handmaid#the handmaid homestuck#homestuck ancestors#damara megido#homestuck#egg art#according to hussies book aradia was in contact with the handmaid to receive game instructions#which is interesting considering megidos can speak to the dead and the handmaid is one of the few ancestors alive#so either handmaid channeled a dead aradia or future aradia channeled a dead handmaid#handmaid could of also just manipulated the timeline to make sure aradia was the catalyst for the game being played#or something less more or equally complicated#and without this we just have to assume its maid powers allowing aradia to have flawless instruction of what to do or shes just a#level 3000 gigabrain girl genius at 13 years old#and instead of putting that interaction in the story we got. the dancestor flashes#so im a little miffed about it really

sometimes i think about toriel in that first run when flowey finds her in the RUINs, having her dead son return to her for comfort, broken and helpless, and being unable to provide for him in the one impossible way he desperately needed, "fixing him" "making it okay" the way only his mom should've been able to do.
flowey kills himself after she fails. you ever think about that? cause i think about that. you're gonna tell me she didn't notice? that she was cheerfully oblivious as things failed to get better and he grew more desperate and more hurt and more hopeless, as she failed him like she once did and always will fail him? you're gonna tell me that didn't eat her alive? didn't keep her up at night? didn't break her back into all those tiny little shards of herself she'd glued back together and swept under the carpet by sheer force of will?
do you think she gets nightmares about it, still?
#i think she does. i know it does. give her nightmares that is. even across timelines#flowey is tremendously disillusioned about his parents by the time we meet him but he is CRUEL to toriel#he is the dull blade she twists inside herself every day but BOY does he love helping her twist it#it borders on sadistic it. it borders on revenge#they are both so alike and different that her method of grieving is illegible to him.#his mom tried to replace him. and when he came back she couldn't fix him. he needed her to fix him so bad and she failed#it just know it's something he tore into her about after he started killing. with asgore he could play it off as utilitarian.#emotional manipulation to try to force his hand and get to the SOULs#but not with her.#undertale#toriel#flowey

so ive talked about previously of an alt version of evil!bonnie au, of gregory ending up with bonnie first and cause chaos dismantling the other animatronics...
#bonnie in the beginning is like 'i shall manipulate child (:<' but soon realises he cares for child oops#they become quite the affective duo#freddy joins in later... he genuinely wants to help gregory and runs into him a couple of times#is realising theres something fishy with vanessa and doesnt end up trusting giving gregory over to her#sorry for quick lore dump-#art#fnaf#fnaf security breach#fnaf au#glamrock bonnie#evil!bonnie#fnaf gregory#fnaf ggy

#hazbin hotel#lucifer morningstar#hazbin hotel sara#hazbin hotel fanart#fanart#hazbin hotel comic#comic#rays art#i noticed that sera doesnt really call charlie by her name... shes 'lucifer's misguided daughter' or "daughter of the morningstar'#her identity only seems to tie back to lucifer in sera's eyes#its very demeaning and although i dont think sera even realizes she's coming across that way... i do find it very interesting#i like to think she does the same thing to lilith#lilith isnt 'the queen' or 'the first woman'... shes 'lucifer's wife'#and thus lucifer's importance is exaggerated and those related to him are underrepresented#especially since both charlie and lilith care about demonkind and have radical ideas#and while lucifer USED to be the same way... his sense of self has been crushed (at this point in time)#thus making him easier to manipulate#again i dont think sera even realizes this is something she's doing or taking advantage of as her intentions are not 'evil'#but its still happening#thats the consequence of a 'the end justifies the means' mindset

"MelJayVik can never work."
Just say you're weak and you hate challenges. 🙄
Also, what challenge? The SECOND Mel understood just how much Jayce cared about Viktor, she was LOCKED IN. My girl had no hesitation.
"We will find Viktor." "Don't worry Jayce, he will come back to us."
Don't play with my girl Mel, her mother is Ambessa, the flexibility was built into her genes. 💀🔥
#You see something controversial and you give up#I see something crazy and say CHALLENGE ACCEPTED 😎#they are not even the whackiest trio#Mel is an absolute sweetheart#and Viktor does not hate her as so many people like to say#they just get annoyed by how easy it is for both of them to manipulate Jayce 😂#meljayvik#meljay#jayvik#arcane netflix#arcane jayce#arcane mel#arcane viktor#y'all are just cowards#just like the association too scared to love Jayce when he was getting all the heat#Mel and Viktor would be too epic if they were placed side by side#the writers were cowards too (at least they had the excuse of a small budget and limited time)#and some of you guys needed timebomb spelt out for you#like honestly#you won't accept anything unless it kisses on screen 💀#that kind of behaviour would not weather the storm of old fandom culture

why does so much of mel discourse on this site centre on to what measure she did or did not manipulate jayce like that's the extent of her complexity and grey morality, as if she has not directly and indirectly been contributing to the opression of zaun not because she's prejudiced or hates them but simply because she profits from it, like i am so sorry my queen that they don't get you like i get you
#arcane#mel medarda#ella originals#in fact i do think it's soooo interesting that mel being an immigrant didn't really grow up with the ingrained prejudice like most piltovan#(it's cait's lines in her first ever scene--she's not at all malicious it's just a part of her worldview that the undercity is dangerous)#(and that's not something she ever grows out of which is such a huge fail for the show but that's a discussion for another time)#mel doesn't hate zaunites or anything she just doesn't care#she is a kind and compassionate person but all that is hyperfocused on directly opposing her mother's violent imperialism#and not in the sense of well the price in blood to be extracted for our advancement is too much and not worth it#but the advancement--progress if you will--can be accomplished through avenues other than violent imperialism and expansionism so it's fine#and it doesn't matter to her that those other means are just as bloody and that it's very much NOT FINE#it's such a fascinating contradiction and a blind spot and i am SO ANGRY s2 made her a wizard instead of exploring it#a zaunite revolution could have had her whole world collapsing around her#WE WERE ON OUR WAY#IT WAS ALREADY HAPPENING WITH THE BRIDGE MASSACRE THAT'S WHY SHE ORIGINALLY SUPPORTED ZAUNITE INDEPENDENCE#because the blood she's been spilling finally came to flood her door too and she had to face the fact that she was not so different from he#mother at all that's why she took off her ring before she cast her vote#and we could've gone so much further with that i wanted to see everything this woman believed she knew about herself collapse around her#i wanted DRAMA and EXPLORATION and CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT#anyway this got away from me but my point was i see so many people acting as if the reason mel's morally grey is bc she manipulated jayce#as if she's not actively profiting off of violent oppression of zaunites#in case it was somehow unclear none of this is me being anti-mel i adore my queen with all my heart

Do you think there’s beauty in anger as well? Do you think kipperlilly saw something beautiful in the face of love’s rage?
#I thought the idea of kipperlilly genuinely loving ankarna even while being manipulated interesting#when a beautiful woman cradles you and tells you your biggest insecurity and flaw is a strength??#seeing something beautiful come from rage for the first time?#horrid. her potential was wasted#I call this piece#i redownloaded procreate because I was sick of using ibis paint and forgot I already bought it three years ago so I could just download it#wanted to flex some shading/coloring muscles I haven’t used in a while.#kind of a workout this one was!! a program I hadn’t used in a while and a style I hadn’t used in a while#I actually really like this tho#four draws tag#fantasy high#fantasy high dimension 20#d20 fantasy high#kipperlilly copperkettle#klck#fantasy high fanart

getting some responses on my post about kristen and her parents conversation, specifically the "isn't it kinda funny that helio chose you and you were the one to bring the daytime back" and I think it's really interesting how different people responded to it like. maybe it's because I live in the southern united states but. there is a lot of religion, specifically christianity, as that is the obvious analogue to the helioic faith, that is downright evil, I agree. and obviously the prevalence of it is harmful to a lot a lot a lot of people, just as it's harmful to kristen in fiction.
but you have to understand that the individual people are deluded, they genuinely believe what they're doing is right. it's really easy to be like "ugh they sicken me it makes me so mad" in a theoretical sense but. do you have drive through workers wishing you a blessed day. do you have people see your kt tape and offer to pray for your pain to go away. like. idk I just think we have to have a little bit of compassion and understanding for people that are so entrenched in their faith that they do truly believe from the bottom of their heart that what they're preaching is true. especially in a world where divine magic is real!! kristen TALKED to helio. she makes literal miracles happen on the daily. so faith in that world is gonna be heightened to a crazy degree.
obviously I condemn their human-supremacy and their cult practices etc etc etc but in that little moment I felt for the applebees. it didn't make me mad or disgusted or annoyed. it made me sad. because they saw their daughter perform a miracle of the sun and it meant nothing to her. that "that doesn't feel special at all to you?" wasn't from a place of arrogance. they weren't lauding it over kristen. they were pleading. begging her to see it from their eyes: she is the chosen one. she is a prophet of helio and has been doubting and they want what's best for her. she's their savior. she brought the sun back from the endless night. that doesn't feel special at all to you?
#im fucked up.#i mean maybe this is a privileged position to take because i wasnt raised religious#i dont have personal connections to the harm it does#but i know that most people who practice christianity genuinely love their neighbors#however they can.#it's easy from an outside perspective to be like 'theyre so evil i cant believe they were manipulating her like that'#but. i dont think they thought they were.#theyre not evil. they're trying to help her.#they are misguided YES. but intention has got to count for something#if you cant see the difference between mac and donna applebees and bobby dawn. i can't help you#fantasy high#d20#dimension 20#fhjy
