#because of again. the implications!!

i love that the TLK movie kinda implies that england becomes the christian majority country it will be in small (but significant) part because aethelstan — considered by modern historians as its first king — was a gay man who believed that his piousness would absolve him of his sin. even believing in the movie that spreading christianity would balance out his sin of sodomy... inspired by a pagan man (masquerading as a christian — as a holy man at that—) he was so besotted with he was willing to choose said man over his country. the concept of it all... incredible creative vision.
apart from the tragedy both political and personal in the actual movie, there is something so strikingly meta-tragic about the story's implication of generations upon generations of future queer suffering happening because a powerful gay man believed he was powerless under the chrisitian god. obviously i don't know if this was intentional because the movie ends after uhtred pledges northumbria to the king so we don't know for sure what TLK aethelstan would have done afterwards. but the historical and fictional implications are still there and boy are they juicy
#like the more i think of it the more i truly am like. damn i'm so glad he was a self-hating gay man in the movie#because as fun as it would be to have him gay but not agonized over it#that wouldn't have been as interesting personally. maybe in a different‚ more modern story but not here#like i get that TLK aethelstan had more of a chance to not be high-stakes gayngsting due to having uhtred#but bringing in the aspect that he was known for being pious and a promoter of christianity in history#was a better addition vs. not acknowledging that facet#like showing him as a girlbossing (gaybossing?) king whose sexuality didn't define him and his story#(had the writers chosen to still write him as gay) would have made a much weaker character to me personally#if ever anybody in fiction had the rights to a gayngst story it's the first king of england#because of again. the implications!!#man it's so fun to write about TV shows again#ku blarghs#the last kingdom: seven kings must die#sorry for tagging if this isn't welcome

i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding
#WERE LOSING YUZU AND CITRA. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ALL UNDERSTAND HOW INSANE THIS IS#game emulation enables piracy yes but it’s also an INCREDIBLY powerful archival tool.#there are plenty of games out there that only exist in their original formats due to emulation.#this lawsuit has HORRIBLE implications for video game history. it makes it incredibly easy for companies to scorched earth their products#if they’re not profitable enough. ART IS GOING TO BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS. GAMES PEOPLE WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD ON#it won’t just happen to bad games. it won’t just happen to old games. they will use this to keep their remake/virtual console model going#forever and you will never be able to play your favorite games in their true original forms ever again.#i am fucking INSANELY mad rn. capitalism is the death of art fr#personal

girls when they remember that tevinter nights reveals that
1. solas can kill people in their sleep, large groups of people all at once, including dwarves, by giving them dreams so horrifying they bleed out of their ears and die
2. he has a massive network of spies and agents that do his bidding across all of thedas and speak about him with reverence like a true god. one blesses a fellow fallen elf by saying “the dread wolf guide your soul to peace, brother”
3. solas’s dread wolf form looks like a combination of a pride demon, a wolf, and a dragon, “lupine in appearance but the size of a high dragon, with shaggy spiked hide and six burning eyes like a pride demon” and he can fly around the fade on “wings of fire” that disperse into an army of demons/spirits
4. he shows up in this form to terrorize a group of mortalitasi who were binding spirits for a ritual, and says “YOU MEDDLE PAST YOUR UNDERSTANDING, FOOLISH MORTAL MAGES, AND IN DOING SO, YOU THREATEN ALL CREATION. YOU USE MY IDOL CARELESSLY TO VANDALIZE THE SEA OF DREAMS. NOW FEEL THE PAIN OF WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED. FROM THIS MOMENT, SHOULD YOU EVER BIND A SPIRIT, THEN YOUR LIFE IS MINE.”
#one of the major ways that veilguard could disappoint me is by not delivering on the set up of him being terrifying#and insanely powerful#they did a good job conveying it in trespasser though so i have hope#the engine can for sure handle it too so they have no excuse#this also has interesting implications for the dread wolf form we see in the trailer#because it’s simply not as sick as what’s described here#it could be because he’s out of the fade#it could also be on purpose- he’s pretending to be less powerful perhaps to bait elgarnan in that fight#not showing his full hand for some reason… it would be in character#it could also not be him at all and could be rook as some people suspect#I just fucking hope it’s not something BORING like him getting nerfed again for some dumb reason#solas

siffrin starts the game with oddly empty pockets for a rogue who has a habit of stashing away every little trinket that isn't nailed down
and a hardy pocketwatch is an indispensable tool for oceanic navigation
#loop slinking off from the other half of the party to go jump a random rival rogue before The Morality Squad can get on their ass#anyway this is once again me playing with How To Do Comics Literally At All. no real deeper message just a random ficlet basically#ALSO YEAH. MAP MEN LINK. YOU FIND ANOTHER CONSISE EXPLAINER ON THE CHRONOMETER LOL#isat#isat fanart#in stars and time#in stars and time fanart#isat spoilers#sifloop#isat siffrin#isat odile#isat loop#lucabyteart#the compass is there mostly to make the pocket watch navigation thing more obvious + because i like the staging of loop presenting 2 items#big dipper/polaris is the most basic choice to get across NAVIGATORY USE OF CONSTELLATIONS but . beggars cant be choosers#also the return of the Vague Postcanon Loop Outfit. love to just put them in a vague toga or whatever.#implication wrt odile's questioning is they still havent come clean about anything. but she's got suspicions.#theyre playing Truth Confession Chicken. psychological warfare#+ bonus artist's insight: loop odile up top there is me channelling the pop team epic GOGOGO DANGER ZONE comic#[odile voice] careful. danger zone. [loop voice] but i love danger zone.......

Normal Friend Behaviour.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#lan xichen#Ring ring! It's your judgment call! None of the lan brothers are there to pick it up!#Lan Xichen is so openly like 'I trust Jin Guangyao so much! Our bond is so deep! I believe in him like you believe in wwx!'#The tension! I remember not knowing how this would go because woagh the red flags for betrayal were so strong here.#Now I have spoiler brain so I mostly see the heartbreak coming but I still remember the anxiety of thinking lxc would betray lwj.#The way LXC compares his relationship to JGY is so funny to me. They aren't technically canon but...like....come on.#LXC *also* lets on that he knows LWJ has feelings for WWX. The implications are the loudest subtext I have seen.#Personally I see it as romantically one-sided on LXCs side. I think JGY knows and LXC denies his heart.#I think the tragedy is that JGY can't move past his need to make everything a game of chess to see LXC as more than an oppertunity#Here's the bigger tragedy: The one time he followed his heart...it led him to Qin-Su. Whom he loved dearly!#but...oh god was that ever a massive disaster that must have been internalized as 'following my heart is a mistake I can never make again.'#Ah - Happy Puffy Sleeves WWX debut day! We finally made it!#I'm personally a fan of the happy accident of WWX having white sleeves for this arc B*)

He had some very specific embarrassing doodles in mind
ko-fi
#ask ask ask#dead boy detectives#dbda#payneland#edwin x charles#why is everything i draw lately angst-adjacent?#well i'm in a mood#edwin was thinking about simon and about charles and about their feelings#and things culminated on that simple doodle#charles has no context... yet#but if he knew#... oh what would he do if he knew?#feelings are complicated#i mean it's one thing to know one of the guys who killed his best friend had a little crush on him#and it's a whole different thing to know that edwin is somehow#comparing simon feelings for him to his own feelings for charles#because to charles edwin's feelings are something Good#simon's feelings though? charles would NOT approve#that's the kind of love that leads to... well#to a marriage like the one his parents had#but again#sad implications are to be ignored#unless....

Kingdom Hearts 3 - Rage Form
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#sora#rage form#arendelle#formchange#my gif#rage form is so intriguing#sora still behaves in a wild animalistic fashion similar to his anti form but it's different#anti form felt as if he relinquished all self control and acted strictly on instinct just like a heartless#he used to run around hunched over on all fours and fight tooth and claw with reckless abandon#but here you can at least see SOME semblance of who he is. he's able to wield his keyblade while in this form which is pretty major#he still fights in an absolutely chaotic and primal manner but it feels evolved#the big difference is you call upon rage form at will. he channels his rage and darkness in a desperate last resort to stay alive#which is very significant but he still loses some control like the ability to use of magic; items; shotlocks; etc#it's cool to see darkness used in this way but i really want sora to able to explore themes of darkness within himself in future games#i want these to be more than cool forms with fun gameplay. i want them to have implications that something dark is brewing and needs to be-#brought to the surface and tackled head on because we've never seen anyone capable of cloaking themselves in darkness in such a way#take riku's dark form for example. he's in control and he's very much still himself. it's entirely different#on another note i'm now thinking about how hp is fully restored when activating rage form but you have the choice to give it up again-#when using risk charge. it'll increase attack damage but you're still walking a dangerous line in the pursuit of power

I can’t be the only member of the unhealthily obsessed with gravity falls as a kid to unhealthily obsessed with malevolent as an adult pipeline
#yes these are some of the sketches that are old but I tricked you cause I did clean them up prior to posting#just so they like. make sense#the problem with these is that now I’m thinking about the implications and I’ve got like a whole au in my head#malevolent#my art#gravity falls#malevolent podcast#Arthur lester#John doe#dipper pines#kayne malevolent#bill cipher#anyway arthur and John circa season 2 get transported into the future and into Oregon and they wander into a shack in the woods with weird#signs looking for medical help because Arthur is once again fucking dying and dipper is like. yellow eyed BITCH oh wait no this is different#fuck what’s wrong with this British man

#utmv#sanscest#reaper sans#error sans#DestructiveDeath#undertale au#this was a request but tumblr ate the thing i'm sorry dragon anon#there was supposed to be like an afterdeath implication but it does not translate at all#this ship has only brought me despair and i think it's fitting tbh#i had to redraw this thing because halfway the lights went out and half of it was gone#i have like a thousand takes on how reaper would react to geno being error#the only thing i'm sure is that reaper would stick around error#like a friendly shadow#his very own angel of death kind of thing#like did he learn something from losing tori and geno? was it for the better?#does he give up on everything and is on board with error's whole destruction thing?#does he only put up with it because he doesn't want to lose him and death is the only connection he has with him?#does he have problems letting go of geno and starting over with error?#is this like angsty or is it more silly???#why did i make an awful playlist for all this???#anyways if anyone ever requests destructivedeath to me ever again i'm deleting my blog i swear/j#maybee i'll post the other doodles i made for this thing but that's it

Some things from captive prince that translate really well to zosan
Zoro assuming that Sanji is just as cold and emotionless as his family (because this is an au where he never got away from Germa) only to slowly come to the realization that Sanji is nothing like them
The first time they're in a battle together and Zoro thinks Sanji is staying close to him to like. Leach off his protection, only to realize Sanji's actually protecting his blind side
Zoro throwing one of his swords like a fucking javelin to kill some guy who's about to attack Sanji
Sanji getting a taste of freedom finally, and then them being chased through some city and Sanji is having the Time of His Life taunting their pursuers while Zoro is freaking out trying to keep up
Zoro getting so excited to fuck Sanji that he breaks a jar of oil
Shared jewelry (if you know you know)
Sanji making all these connections to make an alliance and Zoro just isn't really sure what's going on until the alliance finally comes to fruition and Sanji's like 'I promised you an army' and it's Luffy
Sanji trying to make Zoro think he's betrayed his trust but Zoro immediately sees through him and can tell he's injured his hands
Sanji having worn all these uptight straightlaced clothes all this time and Zoro just about has an aneurism (or maybe an orgasm. Who knows? Not Zoro) the first time he sees him in a kimono
Zoro finally learning the depths of the abuse Sanji's suffered at his family's hands and he goes feral and kills like eight people
Sanji sacrificing himself to save Zoro
#zosan#captive prince au#the third and eighth points actually go harder for zosan than for lamen because of *The Implications*#it's been a while since i read captive prince there's probably more or I'm probably remembering something wrong#but it's there!#also i might be misremembering but i feel like damen and laurent don't really call each other by their names and that is the most zosan#okay. i was looking at kings rising. and there's a part where damen tells laurent 'nothing happened' like????#again. this au would not have some of the darker parts of captive prince because zosan does not have the history that made those parts#and also Sanji isn't that cruel

#iron bundle#special sweeper moment. once again delibird is such a random pick but i do kinda like the vibe of like#normal delibird is borderline useless with like a 25% chance to HEAL the opponent but then this thing has infinite speed#and hydro pumps your entire team into oblivion just because it's from the future#what's the implication. with paradox pokémon being so strong. why are pokémon in the future and past so much stronger#what's up with our modern day that's holding pokémon back so hard#did they talk about this and i just forgot? i doubt it probably because the two paired versions don't really acknowledge each other

What about Caretakers who, despite their best intentions, are also Whumpers?
Maybe Whumpee has a condition/is non-human and afraid of hurting people. Maybe it’s something they can’t control. Carewhumper loves them anyway, wants to help them, wants to keep them safe, so they take to restraining Whumpee every night. When it gets bad, they slip a sedative into their water and install locks on every door. This becomes their new normal.
Somehow, when Whumpee meets a new Caretaker, they expect the same routine. They remind Caretaker to tie them down before bed, and then confused by the devastation on Caretaker’s face, until it clicks.
They were never dangerous. Not really.
#whump#insp#ideas#prompts#fantasy whump#its about the implications!!#and how even well meaning people can hurt you#and how realising that can undo all those years it took learning to trust again!!#everybody is capable of harm#but it doesnt mean everybody is a monster#you are not a monster because of things you cant control
