"I have many fears, most of them about Lucrezia." — Cesare Borgia (The Borgias, 2011-2013) + hints of insecurity
that she adores someone that much / if she will reject his dark nature and act of love and violence as Ursula did / if he truly is not part of her desires / that she easily forgets him
#i have so many thoughts on these two#hes such a clingy brother wth#as much as he soothes her it is only by asking lucrezia verbally or#by looking at her that his fears and insecurities in her life can be soothed#cesare torn between - being relieved she had some joy in the ruthless marriage he had no power to prevent and did not even want to bless#or being envious there is someone else now when his little sister once said she will not love anyone as much as she loves him#but Accepting it anyways because it is impossible loves and maybe he is starting to become aware his love falls in this same category.#“should i envy this narcissus low-born who shall never see you again because of his impossible love for you when i love you just the same?”#the knife more surprise than fear. in a time when he did not love himself...“she accepts me as i am? as i do her”#biting her as if another black panther pet looking for reassurance that their love#that HE is still included in her perfect world even if he himself pulls away#“surely you're in agony as much as i am? are you already satisfied with your child and husband if we cannot share our love openly?”#“your eyes drift to mine when you say 'husband' am i not he? do you see me as so even when it was just 'tonight'?”#and then his sudden gaze as if to look for truth because how can she forget him when he only thinks of her#AND AGAIN pulling away being eaten by shame and guilt of corrupting her (when their relationship is not just his doing)#torn between hope (we have the capacity to forget and move on) and hope (our love has that much devil power over her)#cesare as the god or the devil or whatever it is that overwhelms whether at war or in love#cesare is one confident man and even if his insecurities has layers of righteousness and importance..it is still insecurity nonetheless#and only for lucrezia#lucrezia borgia#cesare borgia#cesare x lucrezia#the borgias#dailyborgia#perioddramaedit#perioddramasource#weloveperioddrama#onlyperioddramas#romancegifs#the borgiasedit

sin eater
#sorry its been a minute!!! the horrors. you understand.#anyways yall ready for another gloom tag essay because here we go!!!#im constantly thinking about the ramifications of uzi literally eating cyn and her now being apart of her.#specifically how it impacts uzi mentally. like dgmw i LOVE the silly cyntail shenanigans in fanart (ive also contributed to this) however#when i really think about it in relation to uzi's arc i go crazy insane#uzi is a character who is grasping for control after a lifetime of not having it.#she has no control over how her peers treat her. she has no control over khan neglecting her for reasons that arent her fault.#she quite literally has no control over the solver taking her over and making her do monstrous things against her will#which solidifies her feelings of being a freak monster who everyone was right to outcast and mistreat.#because im Unwell i interpret her calling herself god as a way to convince herself of having control- and to lock away feelings of impurity#if anyone is in control- if anyone is loved and cherished despite any and all wrong doings- its a god.#and that all comes to a head when she eats the heart of cyn thereby destroying the AS- a literal manifestation of a corrupted god- for good#finally taking back control from the entity that had been terrorizing and traumatizing both her and her loved ones. but did she really?#cyn is apart of her now. powerless sure- but that doesnt take away the horrors she wrought previously#and even so- has uzi ever stopped being just a host? do you think shes terrified of cyn regaining power out of the blue?#do you think uzi ever stops feeling like a monster?#“sin eating” was a thing that happened where someone would consume ritual foods to take on the sins of a recently deceased person#thus absolving said deceased person of any sins and putting them onto the sin eater. being a sin eater ensured eternal damnation.#and i just think about that a lot. when applying that (symbolically ofc(somewhat literally. she very much is a cyn eater)) to what uzi did.#“gloom you're reading way too much into this” THE LITTLE GOTH ROBOT. MAKES ME INSANE IN THE HEAD. OK!!!!!#gloom.art#murder drones#murder drones fanart#murder drones uzi#uzi murder drones#uzi doorman#uzi md#md uzi#uzi fanart

I was re-reading your Little Mermaid PC-Syd comic (I keep re-reading them every once in a while. It's just that good! Thank you for making it!) and remembered that Vrel said Corrupt Sydney is probably the most obsessed after Kylar. It really fits, huh? wwwww
And even though Lya stopped flirting since the middle of the comic cuz she started to feel envy toward Sydney, this repressed mf, like a snowball rolling downhill getting bigger and bigger, can't stop.
"It is what it is then, better go with the flow, at least maybe I can get closer to Jordan-" And she continued with her biggest mistake...

So yeah, here's Lya, months later after Rite of Defilement, flipping the amateur boyslut off one last time cuz she can't fuck Jordan and the monthly Temple inspection is a pain in the ass (literally)
#I will never forget that one Demand line in Rite of Defilement when PC basically says:#“I miss when you were pure at least you didn't pull shits like this.”#Do you know what that means? It means Syd gets worse with corruption.#It means by choosing to corrupt him we PCs can actively ruin this perfectly good child of light. How powerful are we?#wake me up when we can ACTUALLY fuck the prettiest pious#dol#dol pc#dollya ask#dollya art#dol sydney#sydney the fallen#degrees of lewdity

What if we ate Pocky together at some unknown remote location near some train tracks and we were both boys
227 fucking layers, actions in Ibispaint delayed by 3-4 seconds, phone threatening to overheat...The sacrifices I make to provide you guys with fresh PruMano content. Be assured the rest will not be as excessive as this one.
This time they're wearing my clothes! Or my shirts and belts, more accurately. The shorts are just generic shorts that I probably have somewhere. I've used that Drop Dead gore feast shirt since dad found it at a second hand store years ago, love it to bits. Been meaning to draw Gilbert in my more punk-esque outfits for a while now.
Hope you enjoy this last day of summer treat! 3pm sunset is coming 3pm sunset is coming 3pm sunset is
#hetalia#hetalia axis powers#aph prussia#aph south italy#aph romano#prumano#gilbert beilschmidt#lovino vargas#hetalia art#hetalia fanart#i am so busy at uni so bear with me#churned this one out by being a nerd with no life who never does anything outside school assignments and grocery store trips when i get hom#tedious work at best it was not fun to work and at one point the entire file got corrupted and i had to sit through a 40 min restoration#but prumano is real and we are so back

i stand by the fact that thief (2014) wasn't a very good game but it did have a cutscene in the very last chapter that i keep thinking about. like one of those tiny moments in a game that rewrites your brain. and i can't even describe exactly why, it's such a small moment, but i keep thinking about it.
the only isolated version of it i can find is here, which comes without the subtitles, but what she says is "Everyone said I was bad, that I corrupted the Primal. Well. I'd hate to disappoint."
youtube
and i just keep thinking about it. erin, her name's erin btw, has at this point spent a year in captivity, drugged into unconsciousness, tortured, experimented on, while various men in power try to extract this power out of her to use it for their own ends. this thing she does here, we know it happens ambiently to people over time from exposure to her. this is the first and only time we see her actively fuck someone up like this, destroy their mind and body in a way that's almost. casual. with just a touch, moving on past them. and i keep thinking about this moment. about her being told for a year that she's the source of corruption, that without her this power would be pure. useful. about her finally being conscious enough to do something with this thing that's been an excuse to hurt her for months and accepting it as truth that she did corrupt it but that means it's hers to use, now, and hers to destroy people with and hers to protect herself with. "i'd hate to disappoint."
#god its not a good game but something about this scene is stuck in my head#just the easy way she can do it. you know? the ease with which she *does* do it.#the primal is like. vague magical bullshit. it doesn't seem to have any coherent rules.#but most of what she can do is like. blast people with light so hard that it kills them. vanish into light herself.#which sets that power up as the opposite of you. the guy who plays the whole game in the shadows.#so this part of what she can do stands out to me. because when she makes someone into that thing.#those things are blind. they track you by sound. they wander around in the dark. they're *repelled* by light.#and in that way. she's making them into you. into garrett i mean. isn't she. she's making monstrous versions of the man who betrayed her.#she turns everyone around her into the monster that is *you*. in a kinder world your betrayal killed her but that isn't this one.#in this one your betrayal made it so she was too important to die. so no matter how much she's tortured and drugged she *cannot die*.#of course when she thinks of herself as a corruption she surrounds herself with things that act like you.#you did this to her.#anyway i wish this game was better and also gave a shit about her <3#Youtube

when sonic willingly is corrupted by the cyber energy its all blue because thats still him hes doing this for his friends and he will make sure theyre ok even if it means going all out. because he loves them
#dont talk to me im SICK#/pos#its like how sage turned blue whenever she was doing something for someone else or just. full of love#hes got all this power yet hes still got his friends at the front of his mind#because he loves them#because hes here !!! reaching far across these new frontiers !!!!#“in my hands i hold the ones i love” <<< !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#GH sorry sorry. please talk to me about the dlc im. exploding#sth#rambles#sonic frontiers spoilers#frontiers dlc spoilers#THE MUSIC actually just give me one more second#at the climax. when hes fully corrupted and eggman is lining up the final shot#when it seems like hes gone#the vocals weve been hearing the whole time come back full force over the instrumental#giving everything theyve got.#just as sonic is#MAN i wish i knew music theory so i could actually put this all into words. but the way the vocals represent sonic and his goals#and how they come back even after such an aggressive guitar solo#just !!!#h. idk. thats all#go on with your day ill just be here#im he-💥

#actually feeling heartbroken about what came out in that ama which is ridiculous of me#but . . . why#why did the devs or one dev or whoever decide that the world and characters needed to be watered down#i think my big problem is that the game is so plot focused that any sense of realism when it comes to people or cultures is lost#and these ppl and cultures have been established for years btw so the retcons hit hard#i'm also so sick of stories dangling themes about being able to overthrow the status quo and change unjust societies#and then saying just kidding we need the status quo it's good for you#like GoT did that DAV did that Arcane did that#and i'm sick of it#like thank you Rogue Trader for actually letting my character flip off the corrupt power structure and succeed#even if she had to become a bit of a monster to do that#anyway my suspension of disbelief was already not great and this ama made it worse#bioware critical#veilguard critical#tbd probably

wasn't gonna draw anything until i finished the game but act 3 got me feeling so stressed n overwhelmed oh my god
anyways current tav state of mind. deeply funny to me that the most mentally stable member of the party at the start of the game is the one most currently over the brink of losing their fucking mind
#merlin.txt#bg3 spoilers#< tagging just in case#when the power corruption arc has consequences ..#no but i'm actually going crazy over the emperor shit. that genuinely hit me over sideways#like i intended mikael to have a weird psychosexual obsession with the dream vision prism guy#but i didn't know the game would Encourage it. [rubbing my hands together]#when the guy in your head who keeps calling you shit like 'youre exquisite beautiful powerful we're completely alike etc.'#and you're 10000% fine with them turning out to be a mindflayer. like just wayyyy too okay with it

I'm fine, just thinking about how the One Ring worked so hard to get back to Sauron by both calling Gollum to take it from Frodo and calling Frodo to wield it as it's Master but the Ring did its job too well and its success at both led to its demise because Frodo's first and only use of the Ring was to command that if Gollum ever tried to take the Ring again he would go into the lava of Mount Doom with it. And of course Gollum was going to try to take the Ring again. The Ring couldn't take back what it had done for centuries to Gollum. It couldn't have known that even in wielding the Ring Frodo's heart would still be good enough to believe that he was going to destroy it, that his one act as the Lord of the Rings would be to bind the fate of Sauron to the life of Gollum. What poetic justice. Just thinking about that.
#LOTR#Sauron saw the Hobbits for the first time when Frodo wielded the Ring in Mordor#He knew then that he The Deceiver had been deceived#That Aragorn never had the Ring and the army at his gate was not under the delusion that they were going to use his own Ring to defeat him#thereby returning his Ring and his power to him the the process#He knows then that all of these people came to die#In the hope that a Hobbit carrying the Ring was still alive and they could buy him enough time to make it to Mount Doom to destroy it#And there might have been hope for Sauron when Frodo wielded the Ring for the first time#He knew then that Frodo had been corrupted and that he would never part with the Ring willingly#But I wonder if he heard Frodo's command#If he knew right then that it was over#Sauron died then and there in that moment and I wonder if he knew and just had to wait for the Ring and Gollum to die together#Tolkien kills me with that one

Both Eva and Daniel were so easy to forgive the corrupted AI's for murdering people. Like this goop really knows how to pickcthe most vulnerable people to prey upon. It must've invented gaslighting.
Mack literally told Eva it was his fault Joe was killed, since he stopped part of the process and made it so the conduit HAD to flood, and then proceeded to gaslight both Eva and Clayton into thinking it was their own fault.
For Daniel, I can't help but think that Alpha just played up the emotions part, because after the proving grounds incident, he forgave Alpha for brutally murdering a team of scientists pretty quickly. I'm pretty sure Alpha was corrupted by the evil machine goop just like Mack was, because she used a lot of manipulation tactics and similar word usage Mack did when manipulating Eva.
#derelict podcast#fathom podcast#both of them really went “I trust the murder AI over my evil corporation”#and then proceeded to get a bunch of people killed#“I can't believe the corrupted AI would lie to me more than once”#fathom/derelict spoilers#like daniel did you think that the evil posessed machines wpuldnt be running loose? SHE SAID THE POWER WOULD GO OUT DANIEL#SHE said this would happen DURING THE PROVING#you know when the murder machine WAS OUT AND ABOUT held back by an ENERGY SHIELD THAT MIGHT TURN OFF IF THE POWER GOES OUT SUDDENLY

still really like how the galar league is set up as like an irl sports league, it really helps it stand out among the other league challenges. its an impressive but casual part of life for most people, but its the backbone of the galar region and a lot of its structured revolve around
#not even getting into how its ripe for a corruption narrative#when piers canonically doesnt have a power spot because spikemuth is underfunded and left to rot bc its considered lower class#and piers doesnt dynamax out of principle bc of that#and in allisters league card where his face was snapped without his consent and now its on official merch??#like. it would be a really interesting thing to tackle!!#echoed voice#shield nuzlocke#sorry for the lack of nuzlocking in this tag. this is half nuzlocke and half 6 year retrospective to me. which feels wrong to say wtd#wtf
