This blog is always supremely funny to me when i see it, because for the most part, the reasons you hate artificer are the exact reasons i love her LMAO

I hope I can change your mind someday, and that then you'll change your username to artificer-fake.

i love all the different ideas about characterization in this fandom. Like, for example, Artificer! I dont believe she is fixable in a real sense, and i also dont believe anyone but MAYBE five pebbles could stop her from going on that rampage (without killing her), and even then its not like he would stop her.

But if everyone agreed about that, we wouldnt have my favorite version of karmaflower! Come to think of it, Karmaflower is also a great example, ive seen like 4 different versions of it, one of which is very terrifying, and i love all of em.

oh and also the genders are super fun to fuck about with too, but ive run out of words! seeya!

Yes! I loveeee when people interpret characters differently! It adds variety and spice of life!

I genuinely think Arti is a much more complex character than is really shown in game and honestly balancing her with the horror of her actions and the understanding of why she’s on the path she’s on. Fantastic! I just suck at fighting Scavs or I’d play as her more!

Also I love seeing people go funky with gender headcanons too! Everything in this setting is deeply non-human, they’re all going to understand gender differently!

#prev youre so right#tbh i did read ONE fic that had an interesting regicide dynamic but it.#It was very unhealthy and DARK.#like too dark for me to feel comfortable just saying what ir involved on tumblr FGZEDUHKVFUH

I wouldn't read it either but tbh unhealthy and dark sounds more likely as to what would happen than the chieftain suddenly forgiving artificer for everything and the two of them settling into a perfectly healthy marriage that fixes artificer and every scavenger ever is accepting of

Shared Union > Regicide

This is honestly one of the best pairings of a scug and scav. Gourmand is a very open individual and there are genuinely reasons the two could come together and unite. Very good ship, 5 stars

“You made yourself a different person than the one I loved” – on Kit’s letter, his projections & idea of Ty

aka where i try to make sense of kit’s letter in the context of who ty was to him. basically i think that understanding that kit may not have had an accurate image of ty in his head helps to contextualise why kit believes the things he does, regardless of whether they’re fair to ty or not. it makes more sense reading lines like:

“in all the world, kit had never met anyone he believed to be so incapable of evil”

“all his energy had gone into ty, all his devotion and hopes for the future”

because you can see so clearly how much kit was projecting onto ty. ty, more than a friend—or whatever you might call it—was also the personification of this new world and all it meant for kit. kit saw him as this overwhelming force of good, beautiful as an angel, someone who not only wouldn’t do evil but was “incapable” of it.

so you can kind of see why everything was lost for kit once ty went through with the necromancy: because by doing so he was breaking the image kit had of him. of ty as a saviour of sorts from kit’s previous life, the person who convinced him to stay, who made kit feel like he was really a part of something, something magical and exclusive that not everyone got to be.

further evidenced by other lines:

“he had been too fixated on losing ty to tell him what he needed to hear” -> kit knows he should have told ty much sooner how he really felt about the situation. kit knows he deflected and in various ways lied to ty about trying to bring livvy back. but kit had wanted to stay by ty’s side, stay included in ty’s plans, more than his desire to tell ty the truth that he hated the idea.

“you made yourself a different person than the one i loved” -> ty as a person being shaped by kit’s projections of all his hopes and dreams, the face of this new world kit was drawn into, the first person he really got close to after he was pulled from one world to another, the person who convinced him to stay.

was the “person [kit] loved” an accurate reflection of who ty really was, flaws and all? unlikely. and the image of ty in kit’s head didn’t allow room for the real ty’s complicated, overwhelming grief, either, and the ways he would try to cope with it: and i believe this is part of why kit was so shocked by what happened and why he’s still so angry at ty. because ty proved to him that he wasn’t what kit believed him to be, and so all of kit’s hopes for his new life came crumbling down.

do i think it’s fair to ty? no, i don’t. but i think both can be true: that kit is upset and had gone through a traumatic situation, and has valid feelings about it while also understanding that he had a very skewed perception of ty that wasn’t fair to him.

mostly i think we need more room for understanding ty’s feelings*. how it must have felt to lose his twin sister in a horrifying way, devised a plan that (to him) seemed completely reasonable** only to have his best friend switch up on him last minute, tell ty he loved him mid-ritual, later say he wished he’d never met ty and basically tell ty that he was selfish and then on top of that leave without saying goodbye.

i also stand by my belief that “how long do you think it will take you to forgive me” is something both ty and kit could/should be asking each other, not just one way around. i honestly don’t understand why both kit and ty would think only kit needs to forgive ty and not both ways. mostly i just don’t think the narrative that ty’s the only one who needs forgiving is very fair, or makes much sense with their characterisation + the context + what actually happened.

in sum, when kit says “you made yourself a different person than the one i loved”, the person he’s referring to is an idealised version of ty whom he had projected all his hopes and dreams for the future onto, and by going through with the necromancy ty completely shattered kit’s understanding of him. this is consistent with other lines in his letter: “you wanted that more than you wanted me”, “when you brought livvy back, you changed yourself” (did ty really change? or did he just prove to be different from kit’s idea of him? genuine question), and perhaps most strongly evidenced by this line: “i don’t know the person you are now. you took yourself away from me. i can’t forgive that.” i don’t understand why he can’t forgive ty for not being the person kit thought he was, nor how on earth ty was supposed to know this, but i digress.

* i hope this is addressed in TWP because between TDA and now, we’ve had FAR more insight into kit’s thought processes than ty’s and as such we’re only really seeing one side of the situation.

** i also think part of the glaring misunderstanding between kit and ty can be understood from their respective backgrounds. obviously for kit, growing up away from the shadowhunter world, something like necromancy is completely out of the question. the way it would be for you or me. but ty grew up in a world where bringing people back to life was something that could and had actually happened. so it’s a far crazier, more impossible idea to kit than it would’ve been to ty.

scars, 1

more comic and transcript under cut

AAAND CUT!

mostly just me thinking about what arti thinks of her own scars, and there's more coming, eventually >:). It takes a long time to draw though :')

transcript:

Image 1: At first, my scars were an ugly reminder of the volatile ability I have.

Image 2: Which threatens to

BREAK

OUT

Image 3: though... My pups made me realize that didn't have to be the case.

Image 6: My ability gives me the strength to protect, and my scars are a testament to that.
