This is the one night a year Doug will spend with his wife and daughter willingly (well not really willingly, but hey Tammy wanted him there and now he gets to skip out on Christmas

[sonknuxadow]

do you ever see a post that's like "x character would HATE y character!!" and instantly know that they're only saying that because they themself like x character and hate y character. because whatever take they had could not be more wrong

someone remind me, is it canon that the terrorist sadists turned whores for good gossip about their little gremlins' war crimes while taking the munchkins for their nature walk???

whenever i doodle leb i tend to give her slight eye bags, like she's quite the night owl despite how early she presumably has to wake up for her nun duties. whether that's because she has to stay up late to help with church matters, or just procrastinates sleeping because she feels like nighttime is one of the few moments she truly gets to herself, i imagine she just developed sleep issues from that in general

Not a fan of when people call Elise a victim of Mori because she's not. She's as much a part of him as he is her.

Elise quite literally is not forced to do anything she doesn't want to. Also, can she even want anything unless Mori has her want it? Can you exploit something made specifically for you to alter as you wish to fit your wants? Her bratty behavior is because Mori made her that way, not because she has any genuine disdain for things

People are worrying about a character who could not give a fuck even if she wanted to

ok the scene at the end of beast with Mori and Atsushi blew my mind and I had a lot of thoughts but it got kinda long so I’ll be nice and put a read more

Mori’s character changes in beast are SO interesting to me and Elise being older in beast is a VERY significant detail regarding his growth imo. the only other time Elise changes is between Yosano’s time with Mori and after Mori loses her, where Elise went from emotionless and a bit older (a teenager, I think?), to a bratty child, somewhat reminiscent of Yosano as a child.

this line also reminded me of Yosano’s backstory and how Mori uses violence to force Yosano into using her ability so he can keep his undying army

essentially, when Mori had this mindset of using violence and fear to manipulate people (CHILDREN), losing Yosano made Elise change into a child that tries to defy him, the sort of relationship he had with Yosano, except Elise can never escape Mori. in beast, where he realizes that a child should never be treated that way, Elise changes in the complete opposite way, becoming an adult. Mori also doesn’t seem to patronize her like he did when she appeared as a child.

the other detail that really stuck out to me was how Mori was described as “the man who raised Dazai.” despite technically being his boss Mori really was like a father to Dazai considering their closeness, Dazai’s young age and lack of parents, and Mori saying Dazai reminded him of himself. Mori’s inability to save Dazai being what led to Mori taking in Atsushi feels a lot like a parent failing one child, realizing their own faults, and trying to do better for their other kid (not that that’s always how it goes…) which perhaps is the reason for Mori’s changed philosophies. Mori saying he’ll take Atsushi in as his son instead of his student is like Mori fully accepting his fatherhood role instead of… sort of half-assing it by trying to raise a child and a tool like with Dazai. raising children in an orphanage is maybe a better idea than doing it in a mafia organization, or so I’m learning

also because of all that, Atsushi being Mori’s son sort of makes Atsushi like Dazai’s little brother which I think is sweet

just had the concept of Percy going back in time to save Fred but not being able to with 100% certainty and having to try to run to save him or save someone else that he'd have a far higher chance of success with pop in my head

N e way I think they’re multilingual :P

"I don't quite follow." Sage gave Elise a puzzled look. "I feel so left out on everything, please like dumb it down just a bit for me." She laughed. @elisevdw

I have convinced myself that Mycroft is the superior Holmes brother despite his minute screen time.

DUSTLINGS IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

Elise (She/They), Bridget (She/Her), Aldric (He/Him), Sinew (She/They/It), and Wilrick (He/Stone/Stoneself) are excited too!

Dustlings by Dante Atlas is out for pre-order now! So what can you expect? What is it about?

Dustlings is a clean and wholesome fantasy romance novel, and a journey of self rediscovery. Bridget, having just ended a long term relationship with her boyfriend Jason, ends up in a magical world after falling through a portal and off of a cliff on her parents' property. She must navigate this new world, on top of being newly disabled, on top of trying to get home undiscovered.

In this new world, she must rely on others, whether it's trusting them to keep her secret or helping carry her on her journey. She's offered fresh perspective, and uncovers a history she couldn't have learned anywhere else.

I'll be releasing character profiles and more information as the time comes (and as I get them done) so look forward to those!

Art Credit, ID, and pre-order link under the cut. Is that still how it works? Do people still say "under the cut?"

[ID/ A group photo of the Dustlings cast sitting all together on a stone brick wall in the warm golden glow of an evening sky. They are all holding and drinking from wooden tankards as they appear to be celebrating and enjoying each other's company. All of them appear to have their pinkies up to make the whole thing fancier.

From left to right:

Elise is a tall orc woman with bronze skin, dark blue hair styled into an undercut, long pointed ears that stick out from her head and blue eyes. She is wearing a plum colored shirt with light blue trim and black pants as she straddles the wall and reclines with one eye on the group and her cup raised to her lips.

Bridget is a small white woman with light brown hair, brown eyes and a big smile on her face as she holds her drink in both hands. She wears a light blue shirt and jeans, along with some sensible black hiking shoes. She's laughing and leaning into Aldric as they share a little moment together.

Aldric is a tall elf with pale yellow skin and long flowing lilac purple hair, his long ears are pointed up as he laughs and leans into Bridget with one arm around her and the other bringing his cup to knock into hers. He is seated with his legs on the opposite side of the wall and his drink appears to be rainbow colored in the cup, some kind of fancy elven drink surely. He wears a simple white linen shirt, black pants and black gloves.

Sinew, my beloved, is a tiny red goblin standing up on the wall and ready to cause trouble with her two cups raised triumphantly over her head and ready to spill at any moment. Her design is based around a poison dart frog, red with black spots and the extremities of her body dipped entirely in black. Her hair is a shaggy black mullet styled Lesbianly, her ears stick straight out from the sides of her head, she wears a simple white tank top and brown pants. It's little feet grip the wall with self assured force, but even so, Wilrick's hand firmly grasps her to prevent her falling.

Wilrick is a handsome, short and stocky dwarf with purple/plum undertones to his skin. He has long indigo hair and beard which reaches the middle of his back and his beard is braided at some points, though largely obscured by his drink in a birch wood cup. He wears a simple brown linen shirt, vest, black pants and boots and the hands that holds the cup, like the rest of them, has his pinky straight in the air. Despite the impending chaos to his left, he appears to be at ease as he enjoys the evening. /END ID]

Finally watching the first episode of Candela Obscura -

Matt mentions that the Lightkeeper’s name is Alexandra, and I, completely as a joke (and also as me 1000% obsessed with Marisha’s characters) say “Alexandra Elise O’Neill?”

AND THEN IT ACTUALLY IS HER?!? MY BELOVED?!?
