#EXPLODES FOREVER..

[burning-sol]

You know what, I have my thoughts scattered across the cosmos when it comes to Exandroth and Zuen so I'm going to talk about what I think about them in a fresh post.

I'm just gonna say outright that I do not think that Exandroth was ever on equal footing as Zuen, and I personally think that Exandroth was a victim despite also being a perpetrator of harm. To me, I just can't really agree with others that because Exandroth was in on the conspiracy, that puts Exandroth on equal standing with Zuen, there's just no shot to me.

The biggest thing, in my opinion, is that Exandroth being established as one of Zuen's chosen demands parallels be drawn between Rumi and Thanatos. If Rumi and Thanatos have been manipulated and their autonomy usurped by Zuen, what would make Exandroth the exception? When charting character development, Exandroth can be seen to be similarly getting a handle on its anger (evidence of this as I keep bringing up being the comparison between the first and second encounters with Rymir), similarly bonding with the others, maybe even coming to the point of letting go of its prior goals (Exandroth in episode 10 talking about what it'd do when everything is over compared to earlier vibes it had intended on becoming a god). The more parallels one finds, the stranger I find the idea that Exandroth would have been special enough to be the exception, you know?

Another thing is the reveal of Exandroth's part in the conspiracy itself. If one is to believe Zuen and Exandroth were on equal footing, would Zuen have such a nonchalant reaction with basically no elaboration on Exandroth? When Zuen thinks back to those he loves, he doesn't think about ANY of the celestials other than the Gods. He doesn't care about Exandroth AT ALL, Exandroth was disposable, a footnote. And also, there's the fact that Zuen didn't bear the brunt of the consequences while Exandroth DID. Exandroth was the one imprisoned after Exandroth did all the work and then Exandroth was the one who died in the end, not Zuen! Writing it out like this, it makes one wonder what Zuen gave up at all when Exandroth was the one who seemed to do all the work and was willing to pay the price for everything that happened.

The imagery itself of Exandroth being in chains while Zuen got to sit pretty, the fact that EXANDROTH in the flashback gets berated when Zuen is the one who started everything? To me, it feels to be an overwhelming fact that Exandroth was just a tool. Which, by the way, I don't think there was any reason Exandroth had to be imprisoned, right? It would have been suspicious, but Zuen could have let the angel out at ANY time because he's a GOD.. But instead, Exandroth could have been locked up for days, months, YEARS, and that would take its toll on the angel's mental state - causing more hatred to fester being isolated and trapped. Even if Exandroth agreed to it, that doesn't mean the imprisonment didn't have any effect on it, nor that it consented with a complete understanding of the consequences.

Then of course there's the fact that Exandroth is an angel, which implies that Exandroth was a servant, and Zuen is the HIGHEST power amongst the Gods. I think it would have likely been VERY easy to manipulate Exandroth by playing on that dynamic - through flattery, encouragement, doting on the other, whatever it was. There's inherently such a vast power imbalance between the two, it's so easy to imagine the different things Zuen could have said to the other and what kind of impact it would have had being imbued with the HIGHEST authority of the world.

I guess also to mention since it's my post and I can do what I want, Exandroth experiences Peter's feelings and so she vicariously came to love Rumi.. But it's kind of funny that Exandroth starts experiencing such an intense love for someone who was given visions by ZUEN, given ideals by ZUEN- like I can't help but gets ideas about how that overwhelming love might stem from the religious devotion Exandroth held for Zuen. (I also realise while typing that Exandroth was ALSO capable of sharing its emotions with the other, so that would definitely be fucked up if that had an influence on Peter..) Just something to think about.

Make no mistake, Exandroth chose to do what it did to Peter after being given chances to change, so it's not like Exandroth is THE victim, but I do see Exandroth as A victim. You can obviously choose to interpret Exandroth whatever way you want, but to ME it seems very unlikely she was ever capable of being on equal footing with Zuen and equally responsible for what happened. Exandroth GENUINELY believed what it was doing was right, Zuen didn't, and Zuen didn't care about what happened to Exandroth. That speaks volumes to me. So this has been my post on, "oh wow so that is fucked up huh".

above all else a trans woman is a person. above all else a trans women is a woman who goes to the same grocery store as you and buys fruits in the same grocery cart as you and goes home and eats her dinner the same as you. above all else a trans woman is a woman who dresses like you do and talks the same way you do. above all else a trans woman is a woman who wants to be cared about the same way you want to be cared about and a trans woman is a woman who makes friends the same way you make friends. above all else you should care about trans women because they are people. treat her as such.

69. Panorama — Cool Cool, Jeremy Lister, bergie

Our eyes, they need some new direction There's somethin' lost with our connection And we can't seem to shake this scene This same routine is killin' me This town, it needs a restoration A little sparkly decoration These glossy lives and half-ass smiles keep movin' by By, by, by

Xisuma’s Season 8 has made me certifiably insane and I’m so glad this drawing challenge lets me out of my enclosure to share some of my insanity with yall— dbhc flavored, because of course! <3 This song is actually such a bop, highly recommend it!! It’s pretty early on in dbhc Xisuma’s playlist, representing the uh… Introduction/ Entering The Scene of a certain someone, and it foreshadows the horrific vibes of Xisuma’s season to come. I am so so so normal about this song, I’m positive it would be higher on the list had I found it a little earlier in the year

Although I will say, I was actually really excited to see this song rank at 69 because I knew people would request this number LMAO plus I’ve been drawing so much Xisuma lately so i was super excited to be able to draw and post some of my brainrot finally >:]

OH NO.

The thing is, no matter who you ship Batman with, there's no version of the identity reveal that's not objectively hilarious.

Whether it's Selina or Clark or literally whoever, just imagine that you have fallen in love with Batman. This is a man who is very intelligent, likely the most capable and competent person you know, one of the few humans who can go toe to toe with metahumans, and he acts a bit aloof and gruff, but as you get to know him you realize that he is an extremely caring person. He is out night after night, putting his life and safety at risk because he loves his city and feels such a strong responsibility towards making it better in any way he can. He is one of the bravest men you know and you admire his skills and dedication.

And finally, finally, he is about to reveal his identity to you. You know how much this means, how much trust is involved, and then he pulls back his cowl and it's motherfucking Bruce Wayne. Like what even--How do you respond to that? How do you reconcile everything you know and love about Batman with Bruce Wayne. That's--that's not...This is supposed to be a big romantic moment and you can't even respond because what the fuck??

You feel a headache coming on.

Whenever I’m sad I think about that scene in the odyssey where odysseus sees achilles, patroclus and antilochus frolicking in the asphodel fields together and then I am reminded that love and joy is real
