"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.

I think the strangest criticism of queer ships is when people say “no, they’re best friends” or “they’re better as just friends” like bitch they are still best friends. They’re just also fucking. What’s not clicking?

“no one’s ever mad at me unless they tell me so” is the best assumption i’ve ever made

“i’m just so subby i can’t say no even when i really don’t want it” you are an unsafe play partner.

Mutuals are a lot like cats in that you kinda have to harmlessly pester and annoy them sometimes

characters raised to be tools

Weapons. Trained, tested, forged in steel and fire. Failure is an inevitability that ends in death. Pain should not be felt--it should be recognized, familiar, and inconsequential

Martyrs. In the form of servants and princes, of leaders and underdogs. If blood is necessary, the martyr will lift their hands and offer it all

Shields. Like tempering a sword, but only to bear and not to lash out. Wounds are medals--not symbols of pride, but symbols of worth. A pretty shield is useless; scars mean a job well done

Experiments. Raised on the cold comfort of a lab table. Restraints are only necessary when they're not in their right mind. Is it honorable, to be twisted beyond recognition? Or is it just a necessary evil?

Monsters. Cruelty, caution, and regarding one as a creature beyond reasonable thought is tempering in its own right. But if you keep a leash at the right length, perhaps the massecre won't reach you. One can hope.

Idols. Pretty face, pretty name, pretty hands around their shoulders and throat. There to seduce, manipulate, force any feeling to come to the surface and twist it to their favor. Any genuinity stays locked behind the guilded cage that surrounds their pretty little heart

Trophies. Status and wealth and the traditions that keep someone at their heels, on their knees, to display and serve and decorate one's ballroom.

Sacrifices. Drenched in honorable clothes, prepared and adored and cleansed. The gift of hope at the cost of one's life. Is it taken with no fight? How can you escape the ropes you were born in?

Timelapse of a siren npc from my latest dnd game. Queen is gorgeous and creepy, and unpredictable, as she should be. My players loved her.

For now working on the grayscale, hopefully will do colour one day.

I was watching a video on YouTube and a guy dropped "oh yeah the devs are also from eastern europe so they have to deal with living in a country so depressing it was inspiration for video game dystopias" and I was like... you do know that eastern Europe is not a horrible unliveable pit of sorrows and that the people who live there aren't just fighting in the streets for breadcrumbs and to survive, people just LIVE there, but then I remembered. The mind of an american cannot comprehend outside world and people who speak other language as anything else than unwashed savages

the thing that really enrages me about these pop psychology grifter types is that their insistence that *you* have something wrong with you, *you're* to blame, *you* need to "do the work", or it will be *your* fault when you experience conflict in your interpersonal relationships, and as those blessed with a perfectly rational mindset and the inability to do any harm, *they* have the divine right to condescend to and degrade you into submission, blatantly betrays that if they'd ever really "done the work" a day in their lives, they'd recognise that theyre perpetuating the same cycle of abuse they claim to want to end. but if you point this out to them you're a controlling or narcissistic personality type who needs the ability to think critically for yourself exorcised out of you in order to protect everyone from the abuser you're destined to become. i don't even have the words for how livid this makes me.
