We are all forsaken.

Morgott paintover/redraw I've made while waiting for Shadow of the Erdtree! I've created the original back when the game came out and I took a more experimental turn with colors there, but I've decided to go more classic with the new one. Hope I can draw him again soon!

Some half-delirious screenshots of Morgott from the new manga.

I think I huave covid.

Morgott was left immobilised, staring up at the Erdtree as it was set ablaze, and died thinking his entire life's work was for nothing

Mohg's final moments were spent envisioning his perfect dynasty, only for his soul to be forsaken, his corpse desecrated and made into a vessel for the one miquella actually wanted

some people don’t deserve a second chance, they deserve a long, detailed explanation of why they’ll never get one.

do not let dai convince you that vivienne's vice is her pride or that a pride demon would get the best of her. it's her fear. a fear demon would get her. and in this essay i—

Anyways while racism in the writer's room is definitely a thing and does affect how black characters are written and portrayed, to say "well this character wasn't written well (because of racism) so THAT'S why I find them boring!" is just disingenuous and trying to shove blame elsewhere.

Wyll may have been shafted in terms of writing, but he still clearly had more effort and time put into him than Halsin. And yet out of those two characters, which one is more popular in the fandom?

Dragon Age: Inquisition may bend over backwards to make Vivienne seem like a villain at times, and her opinion on the Circles is a bit complex, but that game also has Cullen in it - who was an antagonist for two previous games, and also has even stricter views on mages and the Circles. And out of the two of them, who's the one people are more forgiving to?

Preston Garvey might have a bugged radiant quest that means he says the same thing over and over and over again, but why is it annoying when he does it and endearing when it's characters in other games? (Brynjolf's "Sorry lass, I've got important things to do" comes to mind)

While yes, we should hold writers and developers accountable for the racism they bake into their games, this does not change that fandom is a transformative space. Fandoms will regularly take characters who were underwritten, who were treated poorly by their source material, or who were overlooked, and create beautiful works of art and fiction surrounding them.

So it's quite telling when they refuse to do this with the black characters.
