I was going through my art folder again and I saw one of the oldest wof stuff I've ever drawn (the fourth one ever I think?) and I redrew it! I love Turtle and I just took this excuse to draw him again

the simplest way to summarize the question of how old Wei Wuxian was at time of death is to say that there are multiple timeskips the length whereof is defined only as 'years' after the last time his age is stated in even approximate terms, so he probably died somewhere between 22 and 27.

you can expand it upward way more easily than downward, because there are a lot more minimum times things took available than maximum.

27 is the funniest option because it means when he gets back, all his old peers are 40.

i was going a little off about how well the squid game 2 narrative is put together as an act 2 of your classic act 1: establish, act 2: deconstruct, act 3: destroy (either the system or the players) dystopia narrative (in this case the act is a season but e.g. in the hunger games it was books) but unfortunately i was with my parents and cheering when thanos got chin stabbed and to defend (?) myself i said "i promise im not enjoying this as much as it seems like i am. im actually enjoying it more"

Ouhhhhh yeahhh im totally undressing him with my eyes

[majimaisms]

why did he say that

unfortunately I have opinions about the ascendant astarion ending and I have been holding back from saying it. but it's a problem that applies to the whole game and it's been annoying me

what's actually weird about the ascendant "romance" scene is that the writer considers it a tempting option for the player. They wrote it to be bad, but they also think it's a fun and sexy option. Same goes for the haarlep scene which they also wrote that way because they find it sexy. Except finding this sexually appealing entirely hinges on the idea that the player is a submissive. So RIP to a scene that the rest of us could have found sexy because the lead narrative designer was a submissive. lmao

In this game you can have a scene where you have to kneel for a male character. But you can never have a male character do the same for you. (Halsin doesn't count. It's a vanilla scene, he is not submissive there and we are not even asking/telling him to kneel down) You don't get such options, not even if you play a drow female! RIP the number one reason for playing drow female to be honest. lol You can kneel and fully submit to ascendant astarion or fully submit to mizora or fully submit to haarlep or submit to lae'zel or submit to minthara. you can get whipped by abdirak or you can tell him "touch me and lose a hand" he even responds positively to this remark and yet the possibility to flip the dynamic doesn't exist. There is never an option where a male character truly submits to the player. RIP to a scene that would have been the opposite of the traditional dynamic. the potential that existed but they never used the opportunity

By the way, how interesting that Lae'zel is dominant but she is a woman so ofc you get the option to tell her “no you will submit to me”. You never get such switch options with any of the male characters... Obviously it's not ascendant where they could have made that an option. My point is that it's NEVER an option among so many male characters.

It's a cool idea that the bad ending in a romance means "I saw this character as a sex object" except it falls apart when the scene is very sexually unappealing to anyone who is more dominant leaning. If I see a character as a sex object then I would place them in sexual situations which are appealing to me. so the message doesn't quite work. because there isn't anything that I can selfishly choose for myself just because I like it and I find it sexy.

Hiya Cat, how are you doing? I originally found you on X and have been following you for years now, i really love your work! But i started to wonder why you haven't posted in a while now. I'm sorry if it's personal but may i ask what was the reason behind your inactivity? If the topic was addressed a while ago please excuse my mistake, i just really needed to be enlightened! ^.^

hi......aside from some life ups and downs...simply put. And i don't know how to say it, unfortunately I had to pause engaging with bleach to like. function in society. graduate....get a job..... unironically i feel possessed. Every time I engaged with it or talked about it i would effectively black out for hours in how absorbed i was....i can still recall page numbers, quotes, panels......chapter indexes for specific lore details. I want to go back to it again, but Bleach feels like a Pandora's box to me.....Aizen specifically.

Anyway Oh my God TL;DR i wanna return but idk how to be normal abt it. God help me.

There’s something about Halsin and Zevlor, the failed Paladin and the failed Archdruid.

Something about the one who lost his life’s calling and the one who’s been stuck in a job he never wanted. Something about how how they are both haunted by mistakes, by the dead they should have saved. Something about age and weariness and despair and finding hope and purpose at the end of it all.

Something about Tav and the tadfools being the only ones who didn’t fail them and the only ones they haven’t failed.

I don’t know if I ship it exactly, but there’s something there for sure.
