#big bad evil guy

[rwby-encrusted-blog]

In the DND game I run, one of my players said BBEG (big bad Evil Guy) to the tune of Last Friday Night.

And so I wrote this. And It's stupid. But I had to for my own sanity.

There’s A tale from long ago, Inscribed on an ancient stone. It tells of when the world was new, Or maybe when the gods had all withdrew? There’s hero in our midst  One that makes evil their bitch. Do They have grandiose martial skill Or do they bend all magic to their will?

In an ancient tomb a fool finds a rune, and speaks Oh No! An Evil Unleashed, it’s the throne they seek, so Cruel. Damn

BIG BAD EVIL GUY! Monster now stroll out in waves, Devastation in their wake All our homes they’re gonna raid! BIG BAD EVIL GUY! Raised alarms and arming Guards! Pray that they come home unharmed! And that the gods come to our Aid! BIG BAD EVIL GUY! The Sage reads from their prayerful tome, for a Hero long Unknown, Or at least a safety zone! BIG BAD EVIL GUY! Yeah now things are looking tough, but there’s a Diamond in the Rough, oh-Whoa!

BIG BAD EVIL GUY! Gets struck down again! BIG BAD EVIL GUY! Gets struck down again!

This wall right here revolves! All these traps, I need a Salve! How did all of this survive? And from what Priests were these devised? This Dungeon’s all a mess! At least in Plate I’m fully dressed! All to do is find the sword- Or am I meant to use my words?

Do I seek a Fight or make things Alright, with Speech? Ah well. Should I swing my sword or get on my knees, and Preach? Fuck.

BIG BAD EVIL GUY! Monster now stroll out in waves, Devastation in their wake All our homes they’re gonna raid! BIG BAD EVIL GUY! Raised alarms and arming Guards! Pray that they come home unharmed! And that the gods come to our Aid! BIG BAD EVIL GUY! The Sage reads from their prayerful tome, for a Hero long Unknown, Or at least a safety zone! BIG BAD EVIL GUY! Yeah now things are looking tough, but there’s a Diamond in the Rough, oh-Whoa!

I only attended 1 (one) of my group's DnD sessions. My new favourite hobby is drawing their bbeg in maid outfits.

I do not dare show it to their dm.

It's been so long since I last designed armor for a character. I can't believe how much I enjoy designing this evil meowsky's armor, and I wish I could do another DnD-style Pokemon OC like these once again.

His name's Ashyval, according to Zero, a supposed villain in a DnD-style RP we have been planning out for a while now.

Silly Ancient Warlock

This is a super old character of mine and my bf told me he feels like he came out of 2000s deviantart or tumblr with this recent art of him.

Honestly I'm here for it lol

There is a new dress meme trending so I figured I'd jump on it with the BBEG from my webcomic Drunk Wizards! (Her name is Saturn)

Finally made a 3d model for a lich design I made like 3 years ago. I kitbashed (most of) the bones, but the rigging, clothes (modeling and textures) and all the jewelry details are mine, and so are the neck vertibrae. I'm particularly proud of the gold filigree/see through linen fabric texture, the golden braiding on the vestments and all the jewelry.

Why do you think the tides have slightly turned from "Elia deserves better than Rhaegar" to shipping her and Rhaegar together? Like what is the psychology behind these people because I've seen some of them like/reblog anti Rhaegar posts while also shipping Rhaegar x Elia at the same time.

hey anon! my thoughts are a bit messy, but i’ve done my best to explain them coherently :)

so, rhaegar was the best man anyone could have when elia was alive, and most people want the best for their favs. he was considered the most handsome, didn’t have a bad personality, and he was crown prince—meaning elia was almost queen, which is often seen as the greatest role a woman can have. the narrative also treats rhaegar as a beautiful, tragic, haunting figure, and elia actually had this very aesthetically pleasing man all to herself at one point! she was married to him, had children with him, and her life was so close to perfect! but rhaegar just had to go and ruin it. 😠

for many elia stans, if rhaegar hadn’t fallen in love with another woman (they want him to have been a completely different character), then everything would’ve been perfect, and elia would’ve had the best, most desirable life. however, that’s not what happened—elia met a very tragic end, and as a result, these stans feel double the bitterness. because of this bitterness, they blame rhaegar for everything (even though it’s not logical to do so), but he’s just too ‘perfect’ to let go of. so, for years these stans have made rhaegar revolve around elia, filling his tag with posts about her out of bitterness. so, i do believe that this obsession with rhaegar x elia has always been there, but i think it’s become a more favorable stance on the elia stan side of the fandom because of a mix of reasons.

plus, rhaegar is one of the few canon relationships we know elia had, since she’s not much of a character. because of this, and the fact that most people don’t like to stray too far from canon, most elia stans are forced to focus on rhaegar, which has created an echo chamber. basically, if a sentiment about elia and rhaegar’s relationship becomes popular, then the whole elia stan side of the fandom will likely regurgitate the sentiment. (also, this desire to stick close to canon is likely why the elia x arthur ship was so popular. while it’s a total crack ship, it had good aesthetics, and since elia and arthur at least knew each other, it allowed the stans to create their perfect fanfiction whilst sticking it to rhaegar. but remember, elia was actually married to rhaegar and had children with him, so while arthur is cool, rhaegar was always ‘top dog,’ meaning arthur would never be able to match up to rhaegar to most elia stans. also, the arthur x elia crack ship is likely her second most popular ship, which just shows how little elia stans have to work with, so they’re always forced to eventually return back to rhaegar for a lot of things.)

however, even if the elia x rhaegar ship gains more popularity, these stans will never stop hating rhaegar because he wasn’t ‘perfect’—and he wasn’t perfect because he didn’t love elia. plus, rhaegar loving another woman and supposedly kidnapping her is what began the war that led to elia’s tragic death. that’s bitterness times 1000. and while i don’t actually blame rhaegar for the war, i do think that this is how an elia stan sees it. i also don’t view rhaegar’s complex relationship with elia as a bad thing—it’s actually a very realistic take on an arranged marriage between two decent people. but most elia stans will never be able to get over the fact that they almost had everything, which is why many have it out for lyanna, as they consider her a thief who ruined their ‘perfection.’

tbh, that might be why so many elia stans are so obsessed with the idea that rhaegar only got with lyanna because of the prophecy—they don’t want to believe that rhaegar actually loved a different woman and not their perfect self insert elia. that’s a bit mean of me… but i don’t know what else one would call the ‘elia’ elia stans have created.

now that i’ve laid all those thoughts out, i’ll try to explain why the tides seem to be turning… i think it may have something to do with the ‘targaryens are all evil and bad’ sentiment losing popularity. i think this shift has occurred due to a mix of factors, such as years of fandom fights and fandom cycles leading to the targs being more liked now than before. it helps that canon doesn’t actually condemn the targs/favors them quite a bit, and the influx of new targ fans from HOTD has also contributed. this combination of reasons seems to have shifted the way the mainstream fandom discusses all the targaryen characters, including rhaegar. so, with this shift, it’s only natural that some elia stans/elia x rhaegar shippers—who’ve always been there—are using this opportunity to push their agenda. while these stans still hate rhaegar and see him as the bad guy, they just can’t let go of him. and as the mainstream fandom moves away from the anti targaryen sentiment, these smaller corners of the fandom, which tend to be echo chambers, are also affected, which has therefore led to a rise in rhaegar x elia shippers and the ‘shifting tide’ that you’ve also noticed.

just as there's something worth noting about how both D20 and CR have lately had strong messages about how fear and resentment makes you easy to radicalize, I think there's also something for how they've both had cases of mortal politics ultimately affecting the nature of the gods. Not just for an understanding of fictional D&D gods as living entities, though that's also valuable, but for an understanding that ultimately, these are concepts shaped and changed by people; people desired conquest and so made Ankarna into a god that supported that. I've repeatedly said and will continue to maintain that while Brennan does hate capitalism, the theme he consistently returns to is the much deeper one of "the bad people are those who exploit and dehumanize others in the service of their goals" and jokes about capitalism as the BBEG aside, if you destroy any one concept's physical manifestation, you still have to contend with the people who upheld it.

Gotta love when folks write Superman incredibly anti-clone even though he had good reason in the beginning to Not Like Superboy (HES A WINDOW INTO WHAT CLARK WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE KENTS) and decide that forever on he’ll be spiteful towards clones even though he literally Does Not Care if you’re a clone unless you’re Superboy.
