A flat-color commission of Nie Mingjue and Nie Huaisang! (Though technically this is set in an AU wherein they’ve never met and Huaisang was raised as a rogue cultivator, so I assume his family name actually isn’t Nie.... So, Nie Mingjue and ??? Huaisang, I suppose!)
I really like the pattern in Nie Mingjue’s robe! \o/
WAIT. If Rogue likes DnD but neither knows about cosplay nor can improvise... that kinda sounds like he has never played it himself. My guess is he's from a time period after ttrpgs became pretty uncommon so he could watch and listen to old actual play shows, but he never had anyone to play it with. And now I kinda want him to play with the Doctor and Ruby...
school or university au's can never work in the F1 fandom because getting the dynamics right means you have to pretend that some of the drivers are smarter than nico
the real dark urge is the desire to replay this expansive endlessly variable rp-rich experience with the exact same character and LI and decisions except they’re a durge now. the other real dark urge is to make my durge a gnome
"hmmmmmm Is Ganondorf Messy in terms of racial representation??? Would it be a *little* difficult to think about how to integrate central characteristics of his backstory, physical form and personality to the conflict without doubling down on the prejudices that started it all? Would it make the heroes like 5% more uncomfortable than usual?
Then maybe, fucking, erase him. Erase the things that are icky to think about or that divide people in any way --or better yet, erase the Whole Guy and start over."
...are kind of.... spectacularly missing the point, in my opinion.
Like, since when!!! do we fix racism by erasing racialized features, and therefore representation that matters to people and that people grew up with (yes even when it doesn't come from a perfect place), instead of, I don't know, the actual racism!!!
This is. Yeah. I know people don't mean it like that, and probably don't realize the dynamics at play here, but.
Emiya did NOT wear a DOG COLLAR in that ccc art for you all to act like he is not the world's most excellent service switch. Quetz is a goddess you think anyone's ever asked her to for head? Conversely Emiya consistently shows pure devotion and care to all his masters AND he remembers his past summonings so you KNOW he has experience. Vote Emiya for that gluck gluck mind twisting bad bitch pulling head TODAY.
Year ago I remember seeing a bunch of engineers, city planners, and architects go "the Line city is a bad idea" and now, today, I find a video essay saying "the Line city is doing extremely badly" and man, it's like foreshadowing paying off or something.
