i will never get over how genuinely fucked the tranquil are consistently treated throughout the dragon age games. like i know it's the Point. but. holy fuck.

the way they're treated as "not-quite-people", the way they're constantly put to the side, ignored, abused, and exploited for profit, the way they're killed over and over, especially in inquisiton, and the way it feels so brushed over. and it never really feels like the player reaction is Enough for what is going on in any situation surrounding them.

#dai #dragon age inquisition #dragon age #dao #dragon age origins #da2 #dragon age 2 #the tranquil #like yeah heres a group who are largely considered to be less than people because of the rite that has either been forced upon them #or they have been pushed into getting through fear of the harrowing. its totally for their own good. ignore the fact that the circles #need the tranquil to create enchantments to fund everything about circle life. ignore how the tranquil cant say no to anything you tell them #to do.#ignore how in dai the venatori were slaughtering tranquil for their skulls and not only is there no real reaction we can give as the l #player about this but we continue to use their skulls to find shards in a collection quest.#yeah. just ignore all of it.

... I'm smoking, and I'm moving around a baseball around in my hand. And I'm counting the stitches. 'Cause it's a Möbius loop, it's just one line of stitches, I'm counting - kind of like a rosary. "Take me out to the ball game..."

I'm watching Candela Obscura for the first time and my brain just went "hey what if we drew Sean with huge Ghibli tears wouldn't that be fun???

#he's my boy now #shout out to the lighting design the green switching to red/orange work really well #also makes Brennan look like a ghost next to his fellow players lmao #sean finnerty #candela obscura #candela obscure needle and thread #circle of needle and thread #critical role #cr candela obscura #critical role fanart #candela obscura fanart #cr fanart #brennan lee mulligan #bleem #critical role candela obscura #candela obscura chapter 2 #cr co #sean finnerty critical role #Sean Finnerty candela obscura #it's not perfect but it has the emotion I wanted and the Ghibli tears work well #and I'm standing by my resolution to not do perfect with fanart and just have fun and not spend days on it lmao #like there's odd things about the posture but I also think that he's so wound up and this point that it kinda works #fanart #illustration #procreate

#my art #khdr #xehanort #ephemer #khux player #the small eph and xeha art piece that somehow turned into a comic #I hope I’ve pulled on your heartstrings in at least 3 different ways :)#I have so many thoughts about eph being stuck in some kind of limbo #whether it was intentional or not he watches over everybody #all his descendants can sense him to some degree but they can only /see/ him when they’re very young #xehanort is like this. but since he’s more sensitive maybe he’d feel eph’s presence even if he can’t see him #like even as a teen and adult #and the way he wished to meet eph (and the others) even as an old man; endlessly chasing those dreams he had as a kid 😭#why’d they give us that mirror scene man. hurtful.#and on the other hand eph has been ‘alive’ for so long he loses track of time; it’s all one big circle to him #yearghh. that’s my tag ramble for the day #my posts #timeless familia #aeon oc #khx player

god i cannot express how impressed in general i am with the storytelling that cr is doing with candela obscura but what really strikes me is how evident it is that the storytelling they do is defined by the hearts of those who are putting it together rather than adhering to a specific idea or image of a given story that they want to uphold. there is such a stark difference between the tones of chapter one and chapter two (to the fault of neither, i’ve enjoyed them both immensely because they both happen to hit parts of the supernatural-horror genre that I am so deeply fond of and so happy to see in a real play medium).

there’s the obvious difference in gming styles, matt has fantasy running through his veins and that’s evident in the way that chapter one ends up having a tone akin to something like the scarier episodes of buffy the vampire slayer. spenser outright references mike flanagan in his pre-interview thing and good grief is that so so evident in his narration and the way he emphasizes the themes emerging in the story in the environment of the world they journey through and choices like the letter from sean’s mother that subvert the audiences ability to rely on a character’s perception.

but the energy the groups of players bring to the storytelling is obviously also so important, too. like, even just looking at the groups prior to watching each I probably could’ve guessed which might’ve had a more lighthearted tone. the combination of ashley, anjali, and robbie already would be one i’d guess a more warm/goofy vibe for (not to say they can’t be serious and dramatic, but the tone of the seriousness is still warm and the world that prompts them towards drama likewise feels warm) and laura, despite her propensity for goofs, does tend to be a chameleon with group make ups. likewise i think we all had a certain (affectionate) fear™ when it was revealed that marisha, brennan, luis, and travis would be reuniting in another short form story and that has certainly held up and been incredibly bolstered by zehra’s absolute commitment and immersion into the story (constantly fucking blown away that this is her first real play she’s incredible).

this is all just to say as someone deeply interested in digital storytelling, i am so so enamoured by cr’s commitment to following their own desires as humans telling stories to one another while adhering to the requirements they have as a company. and also if you haven’t you should watch candela obscura, especially now that spooky season is here.

#candela obscura #the vassal and the veil #the circle of needle and thread #spenser starke #matt mercer #critical role #candela obscura chapter 1 #candela obscura chapter 2 #i want to make it so so immensely clear that when i say chapter 1 was warm i don’t mean like. light because there was some Shit in it #but the world felt much much kinder in chapter 1 and that has a lot to do with matt and his storytelling #but also given the session one where robbie was like :((( idk if i wanna be enemies for this #it speaks to the heart of them All as storytellers that chapter 1 is a Warmer world with people trying their best #whereas spenser has crafted a cold world that the backstories and attitudes of the players and their characters echoes #but it’s still one where the people are trying their best #god i’m just so so impressed with candela obscura

I don't have the time to tell you

Why I do the things that I do

Just please hold on and soon you'll see

That I'm not the villain I appear to be.

Posting these here too

#my art #the flower that bloomed nowhere #utsushikome of fusai #ran of hoa-trinh #kamrusepa of tuon #disco elysium #okay actually i‘m gonna ramble a bit abt in the tags #the orange circle behind ran is obv a reference to kim‘s white halo #but while kim‘s is supposed to represent a sunrise ran‘s is supposed to be the evening sun #bcs kim is meant to be a savior and a new beginning to harry and the player #meanwhile ran is the opposite!#su wants her to judge her she wants to be told that she’s unforgivable #kim is the light meanwhile ran is a weight constantly pulling su back under or smth #also funny that kim is seen as a fantasy for suicidal people #meanwhile ran‘s reaction to su‘s whole thing is to tell her to die #perfect. 10/10. god they make me insane

JSAB: RELOADED

Guardians, Treeborn, Corrupt Leaders and the Tree themself

These are the designs for the guardians [the players], Cube [one of the three treeborn + sadcube], Barracuda and Blixer.

Will do comprehensive lore posts possibly on an alt blog dedicated to the AU at some point, but for now, here's the refs!

Blixer is the king of the corruption and Barracuda is basically his advisor and bodyguard. They're also a couple :>

Barracuda is Transmasc

Cube is the 'son' of the tree, Prism, who's title and common name is 'The Tree of Life'. The guardians are also technically descendants of the tree, but are not considered related to cube. All of the guardians are Aroace and Agender.
