It's been a hot second since I drew anything so I opened my canvas and found a warm up Bonnie. And now I'm sending it out into the abyss to never be seen again. Farewell my sweet summer child

Historia Augusta, Geta
Cassius Dio, 78.1
Cassius Dio, 78.4
Mutiliation and Transformation: Damnatio Memoriae and the Roman Imperial Portraiture, Eric R. Varner
this is. well! it's probably fine.
#ANYWAY. bringing back my old comparatives tag so that i can bookmark this for myself bc i know im going to forget abt the sources#i need. like. a cork board i can pin stuff to for this comic lmao#ngl. in many ways. whatever happened here is worse than some of the other fratricide-sacrifices that happened in rome. tbqh#truly i think that when something like this happens (bc caracalla had symbolically killed his brother in their youth) you should like#dismantle the whole house. literally. you need to board up the windows and doors and cover all the mirrors otherwise something#is going to follow you back across the threshold and lurk under your bed or something#do you hear the tapping in the wall caracalla? that's your brother!!!! also twenty thousand other people#comparatives tag#shdhshsh im going through dio and assembling another post using screen caps from the trailer we really are in our brother emperors era

you'll never guess which level we're up to in this dishonored 2 rewrite
#if i haven't stuffed up my timezones this post should land on thanksgiving so here's somethin' to read to go with your food coma#dishonored#dishonored shitposting#emily kaldwin#billie lurk#dishonored fic#interesting the way the resurrection was handled - rock up to aramis stilton's powerpoint presentation basically#does anyone else think it would have been cool if you had to do the duke's palace first.#grab delilah's mortality and give it back in the past. like while she's vulnerable#kind of makes sense too from an emily character perspective#because she shows SO much character growth in stilton's manor#and then goes to the duke's palace next and IMMEDIATELY says the dumbest shit she says all game re: her entitlement and obliviousness#stilton's manor: wow ive learned so much i finally get it now!#nek minnet. emily misunderstands class warfare so bad she thinks she needs to sharpen her dads folding blade. emily. no#and if you think about it the duke's palace would have made a lot of sense for an earlier level just from emily's perspective.#hes very clearly her enemy compared to meagan's vague idea of where sokolov might be. a darker timeline perhaps#lovely Off_Topic mentioned hating time travel as a plot device and i have to agree. here's my take on that level anyway#also big thank you to RoseEll (<3) for saying it parallels the limitations of the game's mechanics interestingly ♥#using this meme template was like. 'oh hey lingering hatred for jeremy clarkson i forgot i had you'#making the badly photoshopped heads too big. my beloved.#ah crap rambling again

#i’m putting this down here because i don’t actually really want to talk about it or answer asks about it but i’m like a little annoyed lmao#first of all obviously people should have boundaries and not be annoying/invasive/etc. duh.#i have been around the rpf block many a time and rule 1 is don’t be a weirdo. don't let it out of fandom spaces :)#but yeah idk. oliver stark to me feels like someone who is actually very familiar with the mechanics of fandom warfare#and therefore does not know how to log off when it starts to get personal#like to be clear i definitely do not think he engages directly with This fandom other than to lurk and spy on people for fun/haterism#but in MY opinion he has the energy of a person who spends a nonzero amount of time engaged in petty anonymous beef#over a character or a ship or a sport or a new brand of tofu. idk i don’t really care what he’s into#but it does sort of seem like he forgets that when he’s doing it on his real socials with his real face and real name attached#people are going to know that it’s him and respond accordingly and he should just like. block them and move on.#and maybe even go back to his burner and vague about it or something if he truly cannot just walk away.#which he does seem to be sort of getting slightly better at but it's still just like. yeah man! i don't know what to tell you.#people are weird sometimes. we all get weird anons and dm’s and people cyberbullying us. it sucks and it shouldn't happen but it does.#and you do literally just have to find ways to make it easier to ignore them. i know that you know this#because you are a human who grew up on the same exact internet as the rest of us.#i say; as i feel compelled to post about a tiny situation from like 12 hours ago that has literally nothing to do with me#anyway!!!!!!!#i went into the settings to turn off reblogs and thought how funny would it be if i blazed this post lmao

Is there a lolita to ftm pipeline or what the fuck is going on?
#i don't mean the book im talking about the fashion#not that surprising considering mana-sama's impact when it comes to weebs my age#but it's still funny that I've seen a lot of 'girls' start with like... sweet lolita#then they try ouji#and then you look away for a moment and they're men/nb#i could say the same about cosplay. some people out there do crossplay once and decide they never want to go back#im not complaining. i find this delightful#i would like some insight on the transfems tho...#i have typically feminine interests so I don't get to meet a lot of amab people#like... what are some of their lesser known pipelines? i should probably try lurking their communities more...#but in the case of lolita i wonder if the emphasis on modesty and deliberate rejection of appealing to the male gaze...#is something that also catches the eye of those that don't want to be like... female objects of desire but for gender reasons#gonna be thinking about this for a while now#guys i love gender <- guy who doesnt care much for his own

was enjoying how curated reddit is compared to other social media (can choose exactly what topic i want to see) and i've been using it a ton recently. but then today i go on to both r/actuallesbians and r/lesbianactually and it's FILLED with racism and islamaphobia bc two women who were attacked in halifax say the attackers kinda looked middle eastern.
#genuinely disgusting#deeply disturbing#and someone said no actually i can prove islam has no redeeming qualities bc i am indian and india has a lot of muslims#not mentioning muslims in india are an oppressed group?#post.me#i should go back to lurking r/findthesniper in peace

Oh yeah, guess I should put this here now.
My friends successfully managed to drag me onto Bluesky several months back, and then dragged me back on after Twitter began to implode (again, though I have a feeling this one might be what sticks). It's cozy so far, and when I have actual Thoughts as opposed to Bad Thoughts, I occasionally post them there. Here it is if anyone is curious.
#she speaks#shameless shills of self-promotion#figured I should share here#since I've been more active over there as opposed to here lately#I never was on Twitter before but to lurk anyway lol#so this is...a change of pace#but so far it's been nice#will hopefully be back here once my brain stops kicking itself in the groin several times a day#but who knows when that will be#anyway here ya go

Might be taking a minor step back from fandom rn, life is currently attacking from all sides and it's not a happy situation
#by taking a step back i mean i might not be as enthusiastic as usual#just lurking instead#the symptoms of depression are not fun#they really werent joking when they said side effects of the pill include mood swings and weight gain#bc the emotions have really not been it these last 3 weeks#im not as excited about stuff as i usually am?#when im out socialising i want to be home#and my friends are getting on my nerves for no reason#but then when i am home im just as tired#and annoyed#and i dont wanna do anything#the 18 day long period is not helping#im bleeding out i think#it already made me iron deficient last year and its worse this year#its not a stretch#personal#google says i should feel better in a month or two#but can i really take another month if this shit#fuck#maybe i should go to the doctor again#for yhe third time this month yay

formerly an essay in tags but - billie lurk. half-nameless, misremembered woman. her powers derived from the things taken from her, without any catharsis or empowerment. the rat charm, tied with deidre's hair, her lover's voice in the mouth of rats. her arm and eye, taken, given back only to cause her chronic pain, then lost again. foresight seems a cruel gift for a woman who botched the timing of her takeover of the whalers, and bet wrong when it came to delilah.
she never bore the outsider's blessing; his first visit to her was more like an assault. every other dishonored POV character gets the choice to be selfish, and for that selfishness to mean something, but billie's actions have no effect on the world at large, either, in a game without a chaos system.
some say that corvo is the ghost, but he can reach out and change things. billie's buried herself twice and come back and nothing she does seems to matter - she is less a protagonist, more a convenient full stop in the narrative.
try this: open doto, start a new game. sit in her cabin. notice how little of billie there is. even the woman she loved more than anyone has the face of another named character.
she sits amongst the assets of other games: empty canvases and a dressmaker's mannequin that wears nothing.
#billie lurk#even the wiki is wrong about her its infuriating#pulled this out of tags because fuck it#in daud's DLCs even the stories that weren't about him were about him#but billie's stories are the scrapheap. they're the stuff they couldn't squeeze in elsewhere. cheap jokes and macguffins#i'm not even roasting the devs for this i think releasing dishonored in 2016 then DotO in 2017 was a feat (derogatory)#games should be made slowly and with love#and i know that everyones talked about this endlessly#but billie is my fav and it sucks that she got a game that only causes me to grieve for her as a character#not FOR her as a person#only the potential story that never was. that she never got.#you can have your strong black woman and not turn her into a trope. give her depth and range and heartache and agency. yes there was traged#but how did it SHAPE her?#dont get me started on her being designated caretaker of a former god and dying assassin. what the fuck#some of this i'd be more okay with if she was younger - i mean. the blank canvases? really?#this game could have been about wyman and there's not that much that would have changed in terms of the core story#“found out the asshole that killed your mother is still around. gonna go deal with that.”#emily who is stoned: “cool.bring me snacks on the way back”#wyman: “oh he's saying actually it was gods fault and that its possible to kill him. well i have literally nothing in my schedule”#billie's not surprised by anything anymore but maybe wyman would freak out over most of it. could have been a lot of fun#also you cant fuck up wymans characterisation. they barely exist.#local empress sends her enby girlboyfriend to kill god#pres writes increasingly deranged essays in the tags#death of the outsider spoilers#i have to complain about doto once every year or so or i die#but i'm not really gonna let arkane hide behind dev excuses when it comes to racism like. its not enough

every time i see people making posts about the sad state of the sunny wiki i take ten points of psychic damage and then run off to fix whatever the fuck someone has mentioned
#and if you go back to see it and notice it's all been completely rewitten just know i am lurking. please help me#the amount of work for one person is. incredibly overwhelming. but im trying my best hdjsbjd#not having active mods for 12 years will do that to a wiki!#not the first long dead wiki ive resurrected but the bones of the sunny wiki are. frankly. absolute shit#ada speaks#tfw you go to edit a page and fandom spam filter pops up informing you that there is a racial slur on the page#and you cant publish your edit until it's been deleted.#the fact that these pages were written and HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED since before they implemented a spam filter 💕💕💕#anyway i started in on mac's page. its been reformatted. the actual content is still hot garbage but#structurally it matches dennis and charlie's now#which means... eventually#when i am not Dying.#i can rewrite it#add a proper fucking recap#charlie's page was worse than mac's but dennis' was just. good god.#well. nothing was worse than dennis' fucking subpages#dennis' mental illness subpage you will not be missed#absolute garbage fire of a page. nothing even CLOSE to what a wiki page should look like#speculation has no place on a fcking wiki

google how to get someone to stop reading about crypto and using degenerate
#jesus christ. i tried to move them over to tumblr to get them off reddit but they just go back to the tumblr subreddit every time.#if i tell them to do something they do it but then they put a new and fascinating /neg spin on it#like i told them to follow more ppl on here and they followed about 50 ppl that seemingly never post and i told them to make their cute#little project a sideblog so they can rb stuff but they made it their main and cant rb anything now#i tell them to be vague about the details of homestuck so that their mom doesnt stop trusting me and they decide its a better idea to keep#calling it a cringey bad old webcomic that i really love because i have bad taste#i tell them to stop using degenarate because its a nazi dogwhistle but they decide thats just stupid i guess and keep using it#i think theyre gonna become a crypto bro they have like 5 books about it#they've been on reddit since they were like 10 i dont think i can get them out of there but they should at least go on better subreddits#instead of r/iam14andthisisdeep and r/tumblr and r/whitepeopletwitter and r/nonpoliticaltwitter and who knows what else#its especially the r/tumblr part that i dont get. because they literally have a tumblr account#if theres a specific user that you see making posts you like on the subreddit go follow them! scroll thru tags of things you like and follo#all the blogs! be annoying and put out a post asking for mutuals tagged with fandoms you like!#oh and they rlly like r/nosleep i wish i could get them to go on the creepypasta wiki instead because at least thatll give them some shared#references with the wider internet and ppl their age. their mom has literally no pop culture references whatsoever so im trying to help the#but its honestly really hard when they dont do what i tell them to do. jesus i sound awful dont i#real sasha waybright moment. “you are going to follow 100 more blogs and turn off algorithm stuff now. end of discussion.”#it's not like they have a community and friends on reddit they dont even have an account theyve been lurking for years#they dont even have the app they use the mobile website. ugh im being so bitchy rn ill just shut up#maybw if yall see that this is how i think then youll realize that im not exactly worth interacting with#sorry for spiraling on ya. im pmsing.#and i have a whole disorder about that so
