"Close. Do you want my cum?"

You nod obediently.

He pulls your blind fold off.

Beomgyu?!

"Yeah? Gonna let me breed your whore cunt? After all I paid a lot for it."

"Beommie..."

"Why didn't you tell me about this? Could've had you so long ago if you had just named the price."

You shake your head. "It's not what you think."

"Doesn't matter. I've bought you off, princess. Gonna have you waiting in my bed every night, legs spread and pussy ready to take my seed."

the plagiarist posting an "apology" to creators, including myself, who he has ripped for months on end despite us asking him not to while he still has us all blocked is... a choice

[gorespawn]

also while we're here i would like to share the two iterations of tumblr user gorespawn that have existed since i abandoned this blog back in like early 2021. Who wants me

comparing elia martell to princess diana is kinda insane

cause the real princess diana of westeros was rhaegar

Y'ALL.

after just over 2 years of work, i finished the Ace Jon Quilt.

inspired by @/speakerunfolding's fanart of jon jarchivist sims with an ace-colors quilt, which was so sweet and cozy and which is still one of my favorite pieces of jon artwork. anything unsightly in this quilt is original to my work; the fanart is adorable and lovely, 10/10, no notes.

as previously mentioned, i've been working on this quilt since late 2022, which means i started it when i was still pretty new to quilting. i batch-cut a bunch of pieces for the the gray squares, and they were a quarter inch too small, which doesn't sound like it should be a big deal! but it sure was! there is....... not as much lining up of the squares as there should be, and it does not lie particularly flat.

it's also the biggest quilt i've made - approx 7 x 9 feet. actually quilting it was a pain in the ass, which is why i didn't do as much of it as i probably should, but i love quilting with decorative stitches. i backed it with bubble/double gauze which i didn't want to put through the machine, so i did most of the quilting on the top and batting and tacked it to the backing by hand. the green thread is because, you know, tma, and also because why not throw some aro + agender garnish on the ace quilt?

ANYWAY. all the yapping to say. i love this quilt. it's messy and imperfect and i worked on it through a nearly month-long cold/headache to finish it, it's essentially all i've done since christmas besides sleep and watch arcane. don't look too close at anything about it except for the parts that i was not necessarily responsible for, but also......... look at it !!! this is currently my masterpiece and i can't wait to cuddle up underneath it properly.

Sorry but am I the only one that thought that episode…sucked? Like it was straight up bad. Horrible pacing, no wrap up of all the random characters and plot lines they’ve thrown around all season (the tuskegee airmen, Westgates spying, literally all the guys beside like the main 4). (Seriously it makes me so mad that the three redtails got all of 5 seconds of screen time, almost no lines. Literally what was the point of introducing them other than to pretend the show was iNcLuSiVe) Even at the end of BoB and the Pacific you get a much better idea of what happened to all the remaining guys. In this they’re like what happened to DeMarco or Hambone or Brady or (insert character here) we don’t know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The concentration camp scene felt shoehorned in compared to how it was done in BoB. Unless that actually happened to Rosie (which i haven’t heard anything about) but it was just like.. ok? It all felt so rushed and emotionless to me. Maybe I’ve just fallen out of love with MoTA but it’s been downhill for me since episode 6 or so.

i already made a little (read: long) post-finale write-up here, where i talk about the use of the tuskegee airmen, l'sandra, and overall editing/pacing issues i felt the show had. but i don't agree with the notion that adding the redtails was in any way insincere or trying to halfass being "iNcLuSiVe", i just think they suffer from this show's obvious time constraints. and to summarize what i wrote in my linked post, there's a limit to what white writers/directors/producers can do when creating a story about black people. there are some stories i'd feel uncomfortable with them telling on their own, truth be told. dee rees wasn't the sole nonwhite director, but she Was the only black one. i think she did her job well given the limitations and i appreciate that they let her direct those episodes, rather than leaving it up to a team of white people trying their best to tell a black story.

the worst i can say about the finale is that it didn't feel like That strong of finale, tho i wouldn't go as far to say it "sucked" or call it "straight up bad". i liked it plenty, it's just the weakest of the hbo war finales imo.

as for the concentration camp scene, artistic license was taken with both shows. unlike what's seen in the BoB, easy company wasn't the first to arrive at kaufering, and there's 0 mention of the all-japanese american 552nd who helped them liberate it). similarly, rosie rosenthal did assist in liberating those camps, though it would've been after the events shown this episode. idk if he saw one in that up-close way seen in this episode, but he could've (i should research this when i have time). plus, it would've felt weird Not having him acknowledge them at all. "shoe-horned" is an odd term to use here imo, as both scenes more-or-less center a jewish character (BoB's liebgott and MotA's rosie). the former show has survivors the characters can help, the latter shows no one left to help. the former has all of easy company there, the latter has rosie there all alone. rosie's scene felt deeply personal in that way. at the end of the day, both scenes are communicating different things. that doesn't make one better than the other when they aren't trying to be identical. (disclaimer, i'm not jewish, so i'd be interesting hearing from the perspective of someone who wrt whether or not they felt it was "shoe-horned")

i can understand if you've disliked the show post-episode 6 (and episode 6 was a very strong episode i'm ngl). eps 7 and 8 were weaker in many ways, even to me, so i get it. everyone's entitled to their own opinion (i'd be a hypocrite saying otherwise). just understand that this blog is run by someone who overall enjoys this show despite its flaws! basically, i encourage you to take this energy and make your own posts.

thinking about Nark rn like. i know this is cheesy but like theyre probably the only people who can even begin to understand each other???? because of how they had similar experiences in the realms with Lark with the rogue card and Nicky with the trial???? how Lark hates Henry, how Nicholas hated Glenn, how Nicky probably hates both Glenn and Jodie now at least a little bit (Nick wouldve hated Jodie, Nicholas did hate Glenn (or at least strongly dislike him)) And I imagine Nicky would (rightfully) hate Glenn at least a little for how absent he was but might not feel fully justified in it because he doesn’t even fully remember that timeline. Feeling guilty for hating him because ‘hey, at least Glenns trying!’ How Lark hates Henry but might not feel fully justified in that if she really thinks about it because Henry obviously really cares about him. Just both of them being irreparably changed by forces completely outside of their control. Both of them hating their fathers as a result of that. Both of them feeling guilty for it. Just. Hand in unlovable hand. yknow?

and im sure im not the first person to think this, im just thinking about them rn

Here's a doodle that I drew of yuri briar.

Honestly I hate backround colour and the shading of this with a burning passion. but the drawing in its self is pretty good if you ask me. (especially for me since I don't draw men often lol)

Btw I'm really proud of myself for managing to actually post stuff and draw just in general lately, because usually I get the motivation to draw like once a month and then give up after a couple of days lol.

I have so many weird bonds with Tumblr users lol But it's all one sided

me when i think about how im going to hash out the consequences of the no good very bad abomination party at the imperial palace involving a powerful tevinter mage who managed to flee, a corrupt court enchanter turned demon, and an equally corrupt duke who was murdered in front of his son who was hiding from said abominations
