#Sure it's tragic here

The Dowager Queen Alicent of House Hightower, second wife of King Viserys I and mother to his sons, Aegon, Aemond, and Daeron, and his daughter Helaena, died on the same night as Lord Westerling, after confessing her sins to her septa. She had outlived all of her children and spent the last year of her life confined to her apartments, with no company but her septa, the serving girls who brought her food, and the guards outside her door. Books were given her, and needles and thread, but her guards said Alicent spent more time weeping than reading or sewing. One day she ripped all her clothing into pieces. By the end of the year she had taken to talking to herself, and had come to have a deep aversion to the color green. In her last days the Queen Dowager seemed to become more lucid. “I want to see my sons again,” she told her septa, “and Helaena, my sweet girl, oh…and King Jaehaerys. I will read to him, as I did when I was little. He used to say I had a lovely voice.” (Strangely, in her final hours Queen Alicent spoke often of the Old King, but never of her husband, King Viserys.) The Stranger came for her on a rainy night, at the hour of the wolf.

about illario working with the venatori, we can't forget that elgar'nan gifted him blood magic, so I do think that he somewhat influenced him and that's why he's so much more vindictive and jealous in comparison to tevinter nights. I don't mean that he's being mind controlled, but it's a bit like cyrian, a god just amplifying those negative emotions in you and promising power and glory can push a person to that edge and to make stupid af decisions.
im also not forgetting that zara line in inner demons where she talks about an envy demon. like. why an envy demon in specific...there's THINGS between zara and illario that were not shown
no literally if you get me talking about illario + envy + the possibility of getting him possessed, you will have me here for fucking ever. a non mage doing blood magic (any magic at all) is really weird and interesting to me and i don’t remember an example of this happening before (feel free to correct me tho lol. i’m discounting possessions and dwarves)
i had started wildly theorising after bloodbath that he had been possessed and he was tapping into the fade using an envy demon. especially like you said, zara mentions it, AND because i swear there’s a codex in the ossuary where it mentions an envy demon whereas spite is obviously determination, right? so i thought it was a breadcrumb trail to a big “illario is being influenced and doesn’t even know” reveal— same as you anon like great minds am i right— but i’m not sure there is actually any evidence of that lol. like maybe if you squint but i do believe it was explained away by “oh yeah, and elgarnan let him do special blood magic”
it does also make sense to me that illario can only control lucanis, due to being part of the same family. a bloodline thing, and it is very poetic to me that their shared family connection in caterina is what allows him to control lucanis, even for a moment lol. spite being the extra magical boost that lucanis needs to block that out ALSO makes sense to me so i’m not too fussed abt these details lol🤔
the envyllario in my heart also gets spectral weapons for himself. lucanis gets wings, illario gets talons, PLUS green-purple are complementary colors so it would have been really fun to see them clash with their spirit/demon-powers. the talon thing is also a kind of reflection of his end-goal desire, how envy demons already have those freaky hands, and it manifests as claws and is a much more aggressive, strength-augmenting manifestation (as opposed to manoeuvrability and speed-augmenting that spite’s wings give lucanis.) anyways that's what the diagram above is supposed to be (this is extremely hot to me)
#have been waiting all day to get out of work to draw what i have not stopped rotating in my head#also drawing is not totally clear yes that is lucanis using one hand to hold back illario trying to claw at him yayyyyyyy#illario dellamorte#lucanis dellamorte#my art#dragon age#veilguard spoilers#sorry. i was going to reply to this yesterday but my friend finished the lucanis questline#we were discussing this for a bit so the reply is a little more in depth and thought out#also both of the remaining dellamorte heirs both being possessed is fun to ME .#forget house dellamorte being cooked we HAVE to make sure they’re burning and smoking and potentially even on fire#i wish we got to make the crows actually confront what a possessed heir would mean#but that is largely overshadowed in the game by caterina’s kidnapping#and also feels underused because nothing of note goes terribly bad#he doesn’t even draw any blood when spite tries to kill illario#truly wish lucanispite would have gone out of control and killed someone. idk who tho#maybe. lol. jacobus come here. i need you to die tragically

I love how Poseidon’s lesson about ruthlessness turned from something he was imposing to something he was trapped in.
When Odysseus says, “we’re both suffering, why not leave this here?” he doesn’t say “I won’t,” he says “I can’t.”
I wish in six hundred strike Ody would have used the line “the next time that you dare choose not to spare” or any callback to “remember them” because it would have been such a good loop. Such a good way to say to Poseidon that there could have been another way. But instead, he’s stuck here of his own doing, with this monster of his own making, being tortured over and over again. Because ruthlessness isn’t mercy. It’s damnation.
#maybe showing one act of kindness#leads to kinder souls down the road#ody only had to be a monster bc everyone around him was#thats what makes a tragedy tragic#it didn’t have to be this way!!#(im sure the circe callbacks are obvious in my analysis here)#epic the musical#epic the vengeance saga#the odyssey#odysseus#poseidon

in honor of TF2's sweet sixteen and repostober, one Pyro from just about six months ago 👍
@friendlyengie since i heavily referenced off your pyro here! Hope you don't mind me tagging you, your stuff is cool and I'm a big fan of your femfortress designs especially :]
#peridots-art#pyro tf2#tf2#bugs#to this day i have still not drawn more than a doodle of any other merc. which is weird since pyro isn't even my favorite just fun to draw#don't have much to say here since. y'know. made this in april. i still don't know yet if i'm ever gonna play tf2 (and besides i still have#a few uninstalled games in my steam library to get to. portal outer wilds and disco elysium i'm coming for you) and i'm kind of losing the#fixation on it now but i'm sure whatever i do it'll be fun :]#also this came long before i saw someone interpret them as a bot. which is an a+ headcanon to me. also i think they'd be any pronouns#obviously i just needed to write the id too fast to mix it up :tragic:

#externally screaming because of all these tragic little gay men living in my head#and by tragic little gay men i mean tma wtnv and malevolent#i just want to give him a hug and a warm blanket#and like some good tea#jon and martin. i just. be okay. please.#arthur and john and also oscar. not sure which ship i like the most but can they all just be okay. im begging you.#and then we have cecil gershwin palmer and the love of his life carlos scientist. theyre the healthiest couple of them all.#they even have the most cannon fluff but. i need to hug them. i need to know theyll be okay.#and why is it that sll my fav gay men always experience#The Horrors™#i just need them all to be okay and happy and safe#tma#the magnus archives#jonmartin#let's see here... tma... malevolent... wtnv......#pattern spotted (aka im not okay fandom-wise)#anyways.#cecil x carlos#cecilos#wtnv#welcome to night vale#malevolent#malevolent podcast#jarthur#arthur x oscar#john x arthur

idk if this makes sense. but i kind of love that the last of us makes me cry and viscerally FEEL true emotions on a weekly basis. like i cant remember the last tv show i watched that had me consistently bawling my eyes out and so immersed in a show because of the characters, the story, the incredibly strong writing, etc. and it doesn't feel manipulative. it just feels profound and beautiful and poetic but also tragic and... human.
#it's a whole spectrum of emotion!!! it's beautifully tragically human!!!! is that not what it is to exist!!!!#and it's therapeutic honestly. to spend like an hour in a world that isnt real but that you can relate aspects of your life to.#and you can just connect to these characters and their experiences and release the emotions that have been building up inside.#i'm sure that if you've played the game you feel this all the more strongly#but as someone who hasn't and went into tlou without prior knowledge#i'm just very pleased with it and idk i love watching a show that can elicit such a strong reaction from me#granted i AM what people would call 'sensitive' and 'emotional' or whatever#but even for me i dont think i've felt quite this intensely about a show - especially not right away during a first season#these are just my half baked thoughts and i definitely could say so much more but i'll leave it here for now#sameera.txt#the last of us

#p4#p4g#persona 4#persona 4 golden#hanamura yosuke#yosuke hanamura#ok i love seeing the IT gang up on him its my soft spot#but also this is the kind of scene i was talking about prev#about how dunking on your friends is itself intended to be a demonstration of your closeness#yosuke's trying to make teddie feel better about himself but then he ends off his remarks with a joke#as he tends to do to diffuse tension! by being light hearted and playful#im not sure if naoto was intentionally playing into the joke here considering how new into the team they were but rise definitely was#i think a lot of Yosuke's jokes tends to take on the tsukkomi-and-boke kind of routine.#although yosuke frequently plays the tsukkomi/straight man by calling out his friends' weird logic during comedic scenes#in this scene i think rise (and naoto)'s quick reaction is very similar a tsukkomi follow up#so its not just a matter of ribbing on yosuke but also them knowing his humour well enough to follow up#and that makes me so happy because the more tragic more isolatory thing. would be for him to he ignored entirely.#he's good with his queue

LIES: Palestine is murdering civilians.
TRUTH: Palestine is expelling occupiers.
LIES: Palestine is attacking Israel.
TRUTH: Palestine is standing upon its rights in its own lands.
LIES: Hamas is giving Israel reasons to attack them.
TRUTH: Israel has already been attacking Palestinians without a reason for years. Every resistance counts and weakens Israel.
LIES: Israel is the victim.
TRUTH: Israel is suffering for its sins for the innocent children they have killed.
#free palestine#palestine#and here we are seeing hypocrite peoples posts and how Palestinians are wrong and terrorists#do you even know what you are talking about do you even know the history of these lands#i am sure that you don't bc if you did you wouldn't even dare to open your dirty mouth#it is very tragic how the whole world was playin 3 monkeys when israel was attacking and bombing and killing and raping Palestinians#none of you gave a shit#none of you said a word#ever since i know myself there was pain and blood and tears in Palestine#and the couse was always isarael#ever since i was a kid i protested israel in meetings and press briefings#i have seen the pain of my muslim sisters and brothers i have heard their screams for help#and now this shameless people coming here and saying Palestinians are wrong and they should have picked a more peaceful methods#hah don't make me laugh#what peace are you talking about#whose peace would be a better question actually#why is it okay when muslims are hurting and wrong when others are????#there is hell for israel#it is the only place they can go after all#the bottom of the hell

It's very interesting to see how what platform you're on informs the fandom experience you get, and how certain fandoms seem to basically insulate themselves on one platform. Part of why it's been so hard to not rely on twitter primarily is that that's where the dmc (and specifically spardacest) fandom is, for the most part - you'll get some traction elsewhere too, sure, but if you REALLY wanna engage with the community, twitter's the place to be. (and I'm not talking about it for clout or numbers' sake - I'm talking about like. Purely the feeling of finding more people who like what you like, people you can talk to, get inspired by, have fun with - if your fandom is just you, your one friend and two non-english speaking artists who stopped posting 5 years ago... well, you can still have fun, but it can feel pretty isolating, too) With red dead, I came into it a bit resigned already because the reason i checked it out in the first place is that my boyfriend's best friend got him into it earlier this year, and he's been in my ear about it since (if he's reading this: ily and i say that lovingly lol), and I finally caved to see what the buzz was all about - but that friend, despite being a very successful artist on twitter, ended up discouraged by how crickets it seemed over there - like it was really just the two of them and a couple more friends interacting, and I just assumed that's the landscape I'd be setting foot into, so I was very ready to just be making art, as usual, because for me it's a primal need, just for me and my boyfriend and a couple of our friends, and if people outside that ended up enjoying it it would probably be just a happy fluke. But I feel like I ended up receiving quite a warm welcome here and over on bsky! I've been digging deep into tags and it seems a lot more alive here than twitter, haha. I'm still really only expecting to put out stuff for a couple people at most, but I'm happy to be proven wrong :)
#bottom line: twt's for dmc and tumblr's for rdr it seems#of course my pov is informed mostly by the fucky ships i like lol#im not even looking at normie fandom at all anymore#that said GOD twitter is so bad for that#bc here I did find a couple people to block who were bitching abt shipping any combo of john/arthur/dutch#but on twt its INSANE#for dmc it feels at least somewhat justified#bc antis will complain that every single good artist does spardacest and...#well yes lol#its true#the huge majority of dmc fandom is held up by the cesties#so while antis are stupid their complaints feel at least founded#but with rdr if you look up any of the morston/vandermorston ships its FLOODED#its literally JUST antis complaining as if its this huge overwhelming force#and its like. 50 anti posts with insane levels of interaction/engagement#for every one ship post with minimal engagement#it feels like theyre fighting ghosts because WHERE ARE THE MORSTON/VANDERMORGAN/VANDERMARSTON SHIPPERS YOU SPEAK OF#I SURE WOULD LIKE TO FIND THEM#anyway sorry for the rambles#just woke up with Thoughts#also i just finished rdr1 and you can find me crying at the tissue isle#expect more art of the tragic variety soon

is this a safe space to say i considered (and still do) the possibility that glamfreddy was the one that tore glambonnie apart
#this isn’t even just on beckory shit#it’s like genuinely thematically satisfying and tragic#and lines up with things like ‘she brought me here’#i just think the monty answer is too easy and out of left field. like why would i care that the rando new animatronic is a dick#love him but it’s true#i’m sure they’ll go with the easiest solution but it’s fun to think about#fe rambles#glamrock freddy#glamrock bonnie#video games#five nights at freddy’s

Being so determined that Sam survived the events of last week’s episode, reading this before I started had me do a double take
#was so sure I was about to be proven so wrong#but it’s alright guys it was just a different tragic separation of a couple#no foreshadowing to be examined here haha#tmagp spoilers#the magnus protocol spoilers#tmagp 29#tmagp#the magnus protocol

Pete didn't realize he was holding his breath until Vegas slightly moved in front of him. He was too focused on what was in Vegas' hands, stretched in his direction for Pete to apparently take.
A gift, Vegas called it. Pete couldn't understand.
"Vegas. What are those?"
It was a stupid question to ask, but Pete couldn't help it.
Vegas' grip tightened around the bouquet. "Isn't it obvious? Flowers," he replied hastily, the pitch of his voice higher than normal. "Do you not like them?"
He was nervous. On edge. It explained some things, but not everything. Pete had to know. He had to figure out what was going on.
"Did something happen at the compound?"
Vegas had been at a meeting with Porsche all evening. He had seemed fine upon returning home, but then he suddenly interrupted Pete who had been washing the dishes and pulled out a bouquet of yellow roses from his backpack and he offered them to him with a warm smile on his face, somehow expecting Pete to not grow suspicious of the gesture.
"Why do you think something happened at the compound?" Vegas asked and his tone of voice made Pete finally raise his head to look at him.
Vegas looked hurt. His eyes were glassy, his breathing uneven. He was going to cry soon if this conversation continued. Pete didn't want that.
"I... just... Vegas, we can go to our bedroom if you want-"
"Fuck, Pete, it's not about that," Vegas groaned and threw the bouquet on the dinner table. He ruffled his hair harshly and muttered something Pete didn't hear. Probably calling himself a failure, as always.
"Has nobody ever given you a present before?" he shouted two seconds later, returning his attention to Pete, who could feel his eyebrows furrowing as he was staring back at him.
All Pete could do at the moment was utter the first thing that came to his mind.
"No? Why would they need to?"
Seeing the change in Vegas' demeanor made Pete come to a second realization then; that was the wrong answer to give.
#ok so a couple of points here#1. I don't remember if it was yellow roses that Vegas gave to Porsche in the extra story but we'll pretend it was#I won't have only BOC give me parallels between Porsche and Pete in regards to Vegas ok? I'll create my own too#2. I'm sure Pete has received gifts in his life - his grandma is right there to give him all the love nobody else did#but we'll suspend our disbelief here a little bit for this to become a little more tragic thank you#I just had an amazing discussion this morning about this topic and I wanted to explore it#Did I do a good job? eeeeeehhh#but yeah anyway good job Pete dear 10/10#(Also this scenario can fit into the instances that Pete is the one who hurts Vegas emotionally and not the other way around)#(It can happen people!! Outside of sex too!!)#(And I'll be here to scream about it thank you)#vegaspete#yu is writing#I managed to write words 🥹 Someone be proud of me hahahah
