Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ
.
#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so!#it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat#Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case#I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does#I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature#and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame#I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing#sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird#but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work#and how they shape things they come in contact with#in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character#and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know#answered#kachavashka#Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name#I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character

HUGE fan of morgott the omen king as a character. disabled son of god was thrown into the sewers to be left for dead with his twin brother, climbs out of the sewers, wants to still work hard and become god’s favorite and uphold the law, becomes king under the disguise that he’s abled, and then still upholds god’s law that all disabled undesirables just like him are thrown into the sewers. crazy
#txt#i do think closest real-world allegory to the omens is disability re:#they are born from ‘normal’ parents always. plus the horns#grow so large as to weigh them down/even poke out some eyes#+ historical equivocations of physical disability and blasphemy/sin#hes also literally upholding the nomads’ genocide too theres like at least two genocides there. horrific#but FASCINATING guy

the flowers still grow in Katolis, but she's not here to see them
#viren#harrow#sarai#one of the earliest sins we see him commit is getting his best friend's wife killed#surely that weighs on him in his cell#when he has nothing left but time and regrets#and the way he holds it like a butterfly he sucked the life from#as if noticing it is wilted for the first time#ough oof ow#tdp spoilers#tdp

really good novel addition to this DDD scene
the theological implications of the phrase "what the devil"
Ienzo/Zexion's reputation as The Guy Who Knows Things
Lea's immediate instinct to tease him for it as soon as he speaks, followed by the realization that from Ienzo’s perspective Axel had JUST goaded someone into killing him, the fruitless hope that Ienzo would not remember that happened so that the consequences of Axel’s actions would not catch up to him after all this time, and then the decision to leave the room as soon as possible so Ienzo would not be able to bring it up
#kingdom hearts#dream drop distance#kingdom hearts novels#aeleus#lea#ienzo#not sure which interpretation of them all waking up I like better#it being angsty and painful as hell is always fun#but this… to come out of it like it was a dream…#in your old home with your family and immediately launching into banter but feeling your past sins weighing on you heavily#your own thoughts juxtaposed against what is actually happening to the point that it feels like you still might be dreaming#PEAK ‘denied the catharsis of punishment’#idk I like them both#me post

I always find it fascinating to think about how I would be super happy and excited to meet my characters, but if they met me they would probably be disgusted, in horror, and completely flabbergasted that all the suffering, the pain, the hatred, the despair and that I, a little guy, thunk all of it up. Every trial, every tribulation, their hardships, every single one of their injuries they have acquired, the scars that line their tissue and the scars that line their mind; All of that was because of ME. I am the horrible, terrible being who put them all through that. To them; I am not a god. I am not a devil. I am a being of pure, unbridled malice that has wrought havoc upon their worlds; I had a hand in each death. Each genocide that has taken place within their world. Each and every sin lies on me. I am the one who brought those actions to be taken within their world. They couldn't consider me as a person. They couldn't consider me as a beast. All they would see in me is a monster.
If I met my characters, how WOULD I feel? Would I feel bad? The blood on their hands would be on mine, because I forced them to take those actions. The lives were lost on the way would be all because of me. Could they forgive me? Would they forgive me? Would my actions be redeemable to them?

I feel that there’s a world of difference between “fandomizing real world politics and tragedies” (in my understanding - applying ‘fandom’ to, well, real world politics and tragedies eg. shipping war criminals or writing rpf for victims of traumatic events) and “making fandom art which acknowledges real world politics and tragedies” (in my understanding - political cartoons/art with a particular flag/etc.).
I’m not saying that the latter can’t be insensitive or in poor taste depending on execution but also…idk it’s weird to see tumblr activists freaking the fuck out over art of dunmesh senshi bringing food to Gaza. I can’t believe that’s the hill you want to kill (your own allies nonetheless!) on. We have people writing smut for about specific IOF soldiers or shipping Palestinian journalists, like, is the comic imagining a fictional character showing up to help people in a horrific situation really what you want to call tone deaf and insensitive?
#ra speaks#personal#fandom#tumblr#did the Jewish creators of Superman commit fandom sin by writing comics where he beat up Nazis? tumblr users weigh in.#it reminds me how people saying art of Aaron Bushnell was ‘fandomizing’ his death like….#I’m sorry was grafitti of George Floyd on the apartheid wall Palestinians ‘fandomizing’ the death of a Black American???#people make art of people who die under politically powerful circumstances. yes it can potentially be insensitive but context matters.#you cannot put a blanket statement on any and all art that acknowledges politics as ‘fandomizing’#this is like the opposite of what conservatives do w calling anything that acknowledges queers/poc/etc. as ‘too political’#POLITICS AND ART ARE INHERENTLY ENTWINED. YOU CANNOT MEANINGFULLY SEPARATE THEM.#can shit be in poor taste or offensive or straight up ‘that’s an inside thought you should have kept to yourself’? yeah duh. HOWEVER#spending your finite time energy and attention being constantly outraged by anything and everything ‘fandomizing’#(a niche potential of a niche community on a niche site) maybe you should idk. go sabatoge an elbit systems factory.#some of us are doing shit out here and your bullshit Internet slap wars are fucking pathetic.#try doing something productive and educational and constructive#instead of bitching about shit that doesn’t even impact your American WASP middle class ass

A redraw of this old piece, but with the meaning of the picture being more so of Henry looking into a broken mirror and remembering an old memory of when he was Terrence, slightly startled because of it.
#henry stickmin#terrence suave#henry is an amnesic terrence au#henry is trying his best to lead the toppats#the sins of what he did as terrence still weighing heavily and knowing he would never be able to atone for everything#but henry is still going to try#also redrew this as a few people liked and reblogged this recently and i just decided to redraw it randomly#just rambling in the tags

it’s completely normal to need to take time because of the situation.
but I do recommend you not to do anything harsh like deleting fics and blogs before Wilbur or one of the other content creators can speak his side of things, in case we are missing something huge or it isn’t him. Remember we don’t know the full story and it’s not time to act like we do
(I love your blog and if you do chose to discontinue it is fully your choice, just something feels off about this situation especially when he hasn’t been able to make a statement, so I urge people to not ack rashly)
I’m definitely not going to be deleting anything, because I put a lot of hard work in and have a lot of really great memories attached. I can get why people would want to, or step away at least.
Again it is early and there isn’t a response. I dunno. There’s lots of instances of fans/friends/family backing up people who’ve done bad things because we want to believe the people we like are good people. It only enables more harm in the world. But there’s also lots of instances of people getting absolutely dog piled by the internet for no or little reason. Even if someone did horrendous things, getting shamed and losing all their support network is NOT how they become better. Caution is warranted at the very least, hence a break. Time for further information and introspection.
Everyone probably has a lot of intense feelings at the moment. I know I do. And it’s good to try and pick those feelings apart. Gut reactions are very powerful, but they shouldn’t be the basis of a justice system.
But I mean, what do I know. I write Minecraft fanfiction.
