John and Abigail. John and Abigail's daughter. John being a girl dad. John finally getting to experience all the things he missed out on when Jack was a baby cause he was a dumb kid who got scared and ran. John refusing to make the same mistakes with her. John and Abigail losing their daughter. John and Abigail losing another piece of their family, and themselves, they can never get back. John having to carry the weight of yet another loss on his shoulders. Poor, sweet, sensitive Jack having to deal with the death of his little sister. John and Abigail losing their daughter and us never even getting to know her name or how she died. John and Abigail. John and Abigail's daughter.

this is not directed at anything in particular so much as a lament ive made in private several times over the years and am thinking about again now but. i wish that fandom had not conflated the term "zine" with "artbook". because 99% of the "zines" i see are in fact artbooks, chapbooks, or art/writing anthologies. which to me are just so so different as products!!! instead of being fully handmade they are all being professionally bound by an outside company, often come with stickers/keychains/other perks that are 3rd party manufactured, etc... and to be clear i love these and have bought several, but!

they are to me kind of the antithesis of what the word "zine" should actually imply, in the traditional sense. a zine is something you make by hand and then photocopy for the dozen or so people in your circle. a zine can be just a single sheet of paper you folded up into 8 pages and scribbled on with pencil. they can get fancier than this but once you move from using a stapler (or if you're feeling fancy needle & thread) to needing to have things perfect bound & glued by a separate industry then!!!! we have moved up the sliding scale in terms of product, towards art/chapbook and away from zine. that's what those terms meant initially we just have... kept calling them zines anyway i guess, and now i think most younger people don't realize that the origins for "zines" were things you handmade and maybe snuck your school/work's photocopier to help produce for your friends. And they were made by one person, or maybe a small collab of 2-3. Once you start adding more artists/authors, and they're all making separate things (even if on a theme), now we have hit an anthology. you know?

because i would LOOOOVE fandom zines in the traditional sense of the word, just posting photos of short scrappy handmade art/comics and mailing them to mutuals for fun like you would a christmas card. idk. like i've made i think 8-10 personal little zines on all random topics in the past year just for fun and my friends, because they're rewarding and people LOVE getting something like that in the mail. they're little visual shitposts like "rating the 16 crayola crayons i found in my drawer" and "plants i have eaten while taking walks in the desert" and it would be really fun to have fandom equivalents of those too... but fandom these days has moved away from silly rough stuff towards everything being really polished + professional and it takes some of the charm out of it i think

my new OC: cempaka!

she is based on the story/universe that my friend @haydardotjpg's OCs indra and yuwei exist in! pls go checkout haydar's art he is amazing!! his ocs can be found more easily on his ig but if you're lazy this is his oc indra (cempaka's one-sided love interest) and yuwei (indra's fated lover)

also, cempaka means "magnolia" in malay!! (she gets a flower name bc my name is lilly which is also flower c:)

bonus first iteration under the cut!

i accidentally had "poinsettia" flower in mind when i did this iteration instead of an actual magnolia, hence the color scheme. but yeah, this is as self-insert as it gets LOL like she's literally MEEEEEE but still very different and i love her as she is <3

OC OTP. Just a prince (Ego, the ginger) and his wonderful energy alien fiance (Serenity) who he doesn't know is an energy alien. Ego also doesn't know that the future marriage is never going to happen and he's been lied to his whole life.

Feeling feral and unhinged at three things today:

1. What if Solas accidentally invented vallaslin?

I don't think it's an accident that Solas' Spirit form resembles Mythal's vallaslin. Solas was the first elf to take a physical form unwillingly. What if this act nearly killed him and Mythal had to intervene to save him?

What if that intervention resulted in a bond between them even as it burned the shape of his Spirit form into his face? What if when he took physical form, Solas accidentally gave the Evanuris a way to enslave the rest of their people?

What if Solas was both the first to wear Mythal's vallaslin and the first to remove it?

I don't think ALL vallaslin are the shapes of Spirits to be clear, I think they evolved after the first. But Mythal kept hers the original shape, so she would never forget.

2. Felassan never removed his vallaslin.

We know this is probably just so he could be "Dalish" in the future because it fit the plot. The most logical in world reason is that he was working as a spy and not having one would make it obvious.

But what if Felassan knew that Mythal's vallaslin was the shape of Solas' Spirit form? What if he never asked for it to be removed because he always wanted a bit of Solas with him?

3. Felassan is to Solas what Solas was to Mythal.

Felassan, Solas' closest adviser, his closest friend. Awed by him. Adored him. Stayed by his side always. Reminded him of what they were supposed to be when Solas lost his way. Kept him anchored for who he really was. Was disappointed over and over again by Solas' actions. Waited centuries, millennia for Solas to join him in the new, broken world that they broke together, so that they could fix it together.

And Solas betrayed him, again, once they could finally be together.

This should have been one of Solas' biggest regrets. Weekes cited it as much. Why did Felassan not rate high enough to be counted? Why was it all Mythal? 😭😭😭

What I’m Expecting from Arcane S2

I’m so excited for Jinx – she’s my favorite character of all time. I love her so much and we’re finally getting new scenes of her and it’s going to be amazing, actually it's going to be more than amazing! I could not be happier.

*a few Jinx scenes later*

Oh right, she's the embodiment of tragedy and trauma and she makes me so very sad. I somehow forgot that.

No one talk to me. I fell in love.
