#Humanity and Its Consequences

[asherisawkward]

What do you think of good Belos au's / au's where he's not a complete piece of garbage?

I like them!

There are a few that I like, such as “Humanity and Its Consequences,” which is an AU where Philip and Luz swap places with each other. A few other fics I like are “Reasoning With Crazy,” “Blunt Force Trauma” (Philip gets hit on the head with a collapsing ceiling and ends up believing the backstory he made up to be Belos is real), and (naturally) “Was Not The Hero.”

Some AUs you can find here on tumblr that I’m fond of are The Bone of Ortet AU, the Twin Rulers AU, the AROFAM AU.

I love the way these different works illustrate the various aspects of Philip’s personality and show his growth and/or descent as time goes on. They’re interesting and well thought out. If that’s your cup of tea, I’d really suggest you give them a look!

it frankly pisses me off that what is essentially “rapists and abusers should be depicted as monstrous caricatures because humanizing them is inappropriate” is considered a very moral and enlightened position to have on art by so many people. a rapist can feel pain, have moments of vulnerability, be amiable and charming, express remorse and compassion at times, be a victim themselves, and so on in real life. they are even capable of doing good things. they can have different sides to them and have individuals in their lives that they are kind to or have a decent relationship with. they will be a human being, and that fact encompasses a lot. conflating that with the claim that they are entitled to and deserve forgiveness or absolution is an issue. nurturing a mindset that believes they need to be one note and uncomplicated to be a correct and tasteful depiction of a rapist inadvertently falls in line with the logic of “how could they have possibly raped you? they are so normal and kind to me. they did all these good things here and there.” ok that doesn’t change that they are a rapist.

This place is a message…and part of a system of messages…pay attention to it!

isles echoes so much of s1 that it felt like a show play. theres something harrowing as an unknown entity. nothing primordial like the light and dark, or maybe it is. isles wasnt a True universe in the way that mianite seasons 1 and 2 were. it was called mianitian isles. something close, something similar, but not quite the same as the others

it wants to be adored by silly little mortals who will devote themselves to its cause. it wants to be human, but only the shape of one. it wants to be greater than mere mortal beings. it wants to be indescribable.

sounds kind of like it wants to be a god

it's basically the same explanation as in the manga, but the anime has made it easier for me to understand what Kabru's beef is with the Touden siblings, and I think that explanation was really well done

I do almost wish I'd saved the part of that rant about how a good tabletop roleplayer is usually playing with an elven mindset by default for its own post, but maybe another day

i think i'm really interested in the exact time the older avatars were born, because it feels like it explains a lot about them. how simon fairchild was born into a world just beginning to comprehend its place in the universe, and he decided to embrace it. how maxwell rayner was born into a world just beginning to create its own light, and he decided to escape it. how jonah magnus was born into a dying world, and he wanted so badly to live.

Imagine if every country on earth just straight up acted up on warmongering hyper nationalist nonsense like 'oh our ppl were here/had a state here 1000+ years ago so its our land' like zionists do. Entire world would be at war constantly. Italians would try to bring back roman empire and mongolians would try to conquer half of Russia. How is shit like 'but jews had a state here 2000 years ago' considered a reasonable argument. How is nonsense like that even considered an argument at all in the first place. If the world worked like this every country on earth would have the same borders as 2000 years ago like good luck with that good luck living in a world where everyone gets genocided over nationalist wet dreams of bringing back borders from centuries ago

an artist has only drawn remilia scarlet correctly if i would address her as "mistress" immediately upon seeing her even if i had no idea who she was
