Honestly nobody is doing it like Trafalgar D. Water Law. He's German. He hates bread. He keeps to himself. He gravitates towards extroverts. He has a nasty reputation. He doesn't kill people during fights. His first appearance resembles Salad Fingers who smokes weed. He's weak to cute things and one of his best friends is a fluffy bear. His moniker is the Surgeon of Death because people thinks his power is creepy. He wants to become a doctor like his parents. He looks emo and edgy with his tattoos. The DEATH tattoo on his hand is the reminder he gave himself during childhood of what's at stake while treating patients, and the rest is to honor a loved one. He's stressed 24/7 like he's a workaholic. He spends all his time napping against his emotionally supportive bear and wandering to collect coins. He flips people off. He loves comics and geeks out amidst a battle. He's a smart strategist and he knows it. He has never talked down on anyone. He comes off as sadistic and dangerous. He never betrays his ally and gets bullied constantly by the crew of said ally. He wears tragedy like high fashion. At the lowest point in his life he finds out that he has always been loved and never been alone.

Those of y’all that know me know that I love video games, and one of my absolute favorites is the Bioshock franchise. I’ve decided to do a commission series featuring Elizabeth from that series and showcase her journey in these pieces. Elizabeth is a top fictional favorite of mine, so this series means a whole lot to me, and it’s all thanks to the amazing @gessueter!!!

༉‧₊˚🕯️🖤❀༉‧₊˚.

This art features Elizabeth in her tower, reading one of her countless books.wishing to leave and explore the world outside. Here, she’s still blissfully unaware of her being groomed to be Comstock’s heir for Colombia, and unknowing of his plans for her. Elizabeth is still rather naive in this stage due to her lack of exploration of the world outside her tower, finding comfort only in her reading, and other various hobbies like her famous (and crazy helpful!) lockpicking! She is still the bird in the cage.

...Wellllll I'm sorry that I love things that not so popular these days lol. I'm this kind of person

But there are definitely some stuff that I live for. I firstly played the game a long ago and I’m still in love with Bioshock. Tbh I played all the games but the first one is my favorite (also Infinite and both dlc are cool, just saying!)

I really like how this piece came out, so I'm a little proud of myself. ~

CRÍTICA SOCIAL FODA

melhor artigo que li sobre o jogo em ANOS

In Defense of BioShock Infinite

Although I had preordered BioShock Infinite with all its bells and whistles, I did not actually play it until January 2023. And lordy, I had me another Experience with a capital E. How the hell a bunch of urban Yanks could capture my experience as a queer democratic-socialist atheist struggling with her roots as a rural evangelical-cum-fascist is kinda magical, honestly. As to the game itself, it didn’t hurt how good it looked—the kickass skyhook gun battles—that novel setting—the complex characters—that delicious historical setting—that bloodthirsty critique of America—and to top it all off, they had pulled yet another Cassandra. Hell, speaking of which—not only was the game fun, it was fucking smart. It was intelligent, memorable, and meaningful in a way I hadn’t experienced in video games for years.

Now, back in 2013, when I had realized that I would be spoiled for Infinite, I left the BioShock fandom. After completing the game, I headed to Tumblr to re-engage, wagging my whole body like an excitable golden retriever, only to discover that BioShock Infinite was remarkably absent, and when mentioned, brutally derided. 

“I hate BioShock Infinite and all my friends do, too,” someone said in the tags under a post. 

I was utterly befuddled and deeply sad. I wanted to talk about BioShock Infinite! I wanted to dig into it, uncover unexpected ideas, learn new things, talk shit, make new friends—the full fandom experience. And instead I kept stumbling into hateful diatribes and super-charged disgust.

Obviously, I first looked at myself and my own judgment. Had I missed some obvious problem or misread some theme or dialogue? This wouldn’t be the first time I’d snapped down on a hook. But the more I thought about it, the angrier I got.

It’s up to you what matters more.

Another Bioshock piece that I drew a couple of days ago. Pretty fast and sketchy, the first one is stylized (my fav!). Tbh I've always had a crush on Atlas and I cant help it. He's such a badass. I love him ;;
