Rellana, Twin Moon Knight & Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon
prints ✦ full process on patreon
#elden ring#rennala#rellana#my art#shadow of the erdtree#ngl i don't share fandom's obsession with Rellana and find her character quite lacking#I wish we knew something more about her other than “hehe messmer simp”#bc yes rennalas marriage is a big part of her story but we also know a lot about her in other contexts and before the liurnian wars#which makes her much more interesting to me#bc idk im just not a fan of when in media the whole plot arch of a woman's story resolves around her relationship with a man#and i feel like with other women characters fromsoft did a better job at showing that they are human beings with different agendas etc#so when it comes to Rellana i love the POTENTIAL of what she could be

i DO think it's going to be funny to watch the dragon age fandom explode when people finally get their hands on veilguard. and realize all of the companions have Opinions
#i get being on the hype train because hell yeah but man. MAN#some elaborate headcanons out there that will invariably be contradicted by the game#not that you shouldn't have fun with it!#i just remember the promo hype around bull & blackwall- ride the bull scale the wall memes etc but they're some of the least popular dai LIs#not that i don't love them personally. but cullen and solas sweep w dai girlies and it's a common sentiment that#a LOT of women-into-men would've been ticked or at least disappointed if solas & cullen hadn't been added w the extra dev time#anyway i feel bad for the characters that will fall the furthest from their pedestal 😔😔 rip#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age

What poor an instrument May do a noble deed! he brings me liberty. Eve Best as CLEOPATRA in ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ (2014)
#i always feel compelled to add context in case people are unfamiliar with the play#but here is where Cleopatra is committing to the idea of killing herself in order to defy and escape Caesar and join her love: Antony#this is (at least to me) a battle cry#her mind is made up and there is no feebleness of fickleness in her - she will not be inconstant or changeable like the moon or “like women#her will will not be shaken and there is no other path#etc etc blah blah blah i wonder if we can compare this with other instances of shakespeare's women casting off female weakness#(oh god that i were a man / unsex me here etc etc)#eve best#cleopatra#antony and cleopatra#william shakespeare#my gifs#i also love the delivery of this & i love the way she uses the verse & the pauses & then difference of care between the colon & semi-colon#i would have giffed the start of the speech but she takes these really beautiful pauses so it's just SO long for gifs

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao
not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad
#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is#i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good#it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive#tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little#irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny#and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately#reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women#who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their#personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny#i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit#among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere#from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy#anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem#but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3#taylor swift

#this is one of the lines that pops into my head randomly throughout the day and does extreme psychic damage to me every time#if you know how i feel why would you say that etc etc#and every fucking line from the episode 7 hell scenes#like i’ll be going about my day and then BOOM orpheus and eurydice line slaps me in the face#the worst is when i get hit with sorry no version of this where i didn’t come get you is there#and we’ve got literally forever to figure out what the rest means like SHUT UPPPP#if you or a loved one have been personally victimised by charles rowland popping in your head and saying the most devastatingly romantic#shit you may be entitled to financial compensation#genuinely there’s NO REASON for him to be that romantic like WHO GAVE HIM THE RIGHT#girl who is NOT going to be okay#charles rowland#he is so perfect to me#i mean the only perfect did nothing wrong character is niko like genuinely she’s so perfect#charles didn’t believe women for like one episode like he atoned for it but it still happened#and then him detailing his hook up with crystal when he knew edwin was jealous wasn’t great#but other than that literally perfect did no wrong#yeet my deet#save dead boy detectives#renew dead boy detectives#revive dead boy detectives#dead boy detectives#dbdshow#yeet my deebd#dead boy detective agency#dbda#payneland#edwin payne#chedwin#charles x edwin

(prompt list for femslashfeb)
#minifemslashfeb2023#ace attorney#aurametis#aura blackquill#metis cykes#'shut up simon. you know exactly how I felt about her.' etc etc#aura blackquill's villain origin story was having love in her heart#isn't that tragic!!!#does it justify her actions? perhaps not#does it make her sympathetic? some may say no#to me she is so sad though. to me she is so sad#she lost everything that day and she never got it back#she lives bitter and resentful and mad with grief#p.s. i love aura and I have so many thoughts about her#it's about letting women be messy and vengeful!!!

I saw something a while ago about paranormal romance/why choose books being basically trad wife fantasies, and I have so many thoughts about that
#elumish blogs#i can't find it now#so if anyone knows the tweet? or post or whatever#and wants to link it to me#it would be much appreciated#i have read hundreds of these books#i have read so many of them#i have so many thoughts about the way they present things#and it's about relationships but it's more about things like so many of the men basically being part of paramilitary groups#and the idea that extrajudiciously murdering criminals is good#and women are constantly under threat but also can be healed by the power of love#etc etc etc#so many thoughts#those books are the equivalent of that video of the white lady barricading her house because her husband left for the day#(when i say those books i mean A Certain Type of those books)#i have written one of those books#and i promise you that it is not a trad wife fantasy

my confession as a grown ass 19 year old is that im still obsessed with those "characters reacting to the show theyre in" gacha videos, idk what it is about them but i can never stop watching them
the saiki k ones are so good because its always either like conveniently avoiding clips of saikis powers and everyone is really confused, or its a power reveal
#they sometimes make me sad because a lot of them are very misogynistic toward the girls#and the people making them tend to be very young#it makes me sad that we're conditioned at such young ages to treat women badly#theyre always kub*kai and either sat**sai or ar*ace saiki (censors so it doesnt show up in those searches)#and for some reason a lot of people just cant ship/hc those without writing the boys' love interests off as homophobic/bitches/etc.#ok but anyway. the ones that arent misogynistic are very fun#i love seeing younger people enjoy fandom things like that#im sure there are people my age or older enjoying it too lmao#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#meows post

#boink#oh instagram reels#btw in this video she had a “glow up”#which was basically having aged a little#like regular young adulthood early 20s type you're not gonna look the same as time goes on#like she got bangs and new glasses#i didnt even notice the first two times the video looped#like what#like cool!#yeah!#having a partner who loves and supports you will probably make you look happier! since you feel happier! ok!#also everyone looks different after a year when they're like twenty one!#what!#that's not the boyfriend effect that's just! being human! what the fuck!#also--- divine femininity??????#oh brother#for pete's sake#if you will#look for the most part i think that in general the women and girls and ppl that go with this kind of thing#the divine femininity and girl math and girl pretty and boy pretty etc etc etc#like i hate this kind of stuff but im not about to say that theyre at fault for it#like this is not helping anyone#and it just#god#it makes me upset!#maybe im overreacting but also i kind of think that we're collectively underreacting about this#like i dont wanna see it all over tiktok /let alone/ from my actual real life friends!#earlier this year my friends (women! women friends! staunchly feminist friends!) were joking unironically about girl math#like do we not see how that's harmful. when we talk about poor financial decisions and completely seriously call it girl math.#how do we not see a problem here

I just started the fires of heaven and I’m obsessed with how Rand:
1) shows next to no interest in the various women coming onto him
2) sees a naked woman and his only thought is “wow she’s sunburned”
3) has multiple homoerotic encounters
And then describes a man as “probably attractive to women”. In conclusion: Robert Jordan was a coward.
#i can see gay bi ace and demisexual readings#this isn’t even bringing up the male channeling as a queerness metaphor#like the aids parallels are so blatant you can’t convince me Robert Jordan didn’t put them there on purpose#I know he was writing in the 80s and had more textually queer women characters etc#but I also know the only canon queer male characters were introduced by Sanderson#so…. coward#some of this might also come from his weird choices re: relationship development#but Rand really reads as someone suffering from comp het#there’s also probably something about how his love interests are also queer coded#but I’ve already written an essay in these tags#wheel of time#wheel of time book spoilers#rand al'thor#wot book spoilers#the fires of heaven
