man we all know charlie had an emo phase but I really wanna explore the possibility she wasn't always the charlie we see now. she wasn't always gentle or kind or optimistic and all of those things are hard-won after battling the opposite. that maybe at some point, bitterness and anger and spite started eating her alive and she changed for herself first. that her kindness is selfish at its root, that her altruism is self-serving above all else, because if she kept on the same path, there might be nothing else left of her. and at some point it stopped being about her and started to be about others.

and as a bonus? this version of charlie would pair perfectly with a version of vaggie who wasn't always guilt-ridden, who truly believed in her cause. who was lethal and ruthless and loved what she did because she believed and ultimately it was what did her in. who had truly never hesitated before that child, because extermination wasn't just a necessity, it was a game. entertainment.

idk I just. I love their dynamic already so much but the contrast of charlie becoming optimistic for herself vs vaggie developing guilt and shame over others, and both of them finding the harmony between those extremes?

catradora as rival ballerinas/ballet as psychological horror au

Both catra and Adora were indoctrinated into the ballet world from a young age, both from family pressure. Adora because her family are long standing patrons of this ballet company/academy and how she’s pressured to continue the legacy of becoming the prima ballerina just like her mother and her grandmother before her. And catra because her mother (who was a self made successful dancer, and had her accidentally) only paid attention to/appreciated her when she was dancing and so catra danced more to gain her approval and love.

So this way they both have their self value intertwined with their dancing capabilities and with a lot of pressure to succeed. Anyway, due to Eurocentric standards and adora’s family nepotism, everyone expected Adora to be the principal dancer after the graduation. So imagine the shock and resentment out of everyone (adora’s family, the institute’s elitist patrons, even public opinion) when mara, the fair and just artistic director, chooses catra over her.

I don’t think anyone would be happy, I mean canon-wise, before the rude wakening of thaymor, catra was happy sitting in adora’s shadow, as long as Adora was there. And poor Adora, the toll this would take on her self esteem would be catastrophic. Not to mention how this would affect their relationship, adora adores catra, but she was still groomed into this position as her only purpose in life so there’s really only one way to react to the person who ‘stole’ that purpose from her. She still tries to mask her resentment and jealousy, because she’s still Adora. Catra didn’t mind the entirety of institution crucifying her for stealing the role of their beloved golden girl, it was losing adora that really hurt her, so she tries to find solace in her mother acknowledging her success. She doesn’t. Due to weaver’s mentality of pressure makes diamond, she doesn’t think catra did enough to be given this role. In her words, nothing came easy to her so why should it be different to catra.

So yeah, I feel like a lot topics can be explored here mainly the dark side of ballet, but also parental issues, elitism, racism, gender roles and dysfunctional relationships, it’s a lot

October, 7 PM

The water,

Gods, the water,

There’s something about it 

It pulls and moves and drowns and lifts

A cacophony of noise and the press of silence on covered ears

Muffling the world above

An infinity 

Poised between, a balance of air and light and breath and

Nothing

Silence

The struggle beneath, gasping and clawing and fighting 

Breaking the surface is an act of penitence

An acknowledgement of subservience 

A prayer

And so prayers litter the surface, 

Foam the remnants of a battleground,

Nets strewn and the bright buzzing of red, counting down down down until 

It

All

Stops

.

.

.

It’s quiet, and so, so loud now

The screams of jubilance and pain

Family is something made in blood, here

Not the blood which runs through veins but the kind that drips, drips, drips

Tipping off of noses and coloring the surface maroon

Sliding off of nails, painting hands red with the violence and the love and the pain 

Pouring into a battleground, a declaration of strength

Into the screams of victory, hands held high, 

The warmth of seven souls pressed together as one

Unified in a stubborn promise

The clasp of hands whispers of war

Home is found here.

In the blood and cold and breath.

In the silence.

In the water

Gotta love that 2.30am urge to clean my room and change my sheets... only now I lost the motivation, so I have no sheets on my bed and half of my closet is on the floor.

At least I've gotten rid of the rubbish, and sorted dirty clothes from the clean ones... Time to throw my doona on the mattress and call it good enough.

Thanks AuDHD.

Star, stop changing Tamami's design challenge (impossible).

No, for real, I think this is the fifth redesign I've done of her character. I don't know why but the past designs I've made for her just weren't satisfying to me for some reason. Some of the designs I decided were just bad or didn't suit her while the others were similar but I just didn't like how it looked (tank top, large sweater, scarf, the rainbow bracelet and a long skirt). But I...think I've finally landed on a design that I liked the most out of all the ones I've made so far. (Please let it be the last. Please, my brain and heart. I would like to settle on a design and move on!)

ANYWAYS, I used Teruya's DRA sprite as a base for Tamami since, well, she is his mom and she's about as short as DRA!Teruya (or maybe shorter, I don't know, the wiki gave me two heights for his DRA self. I decided she's about 4'8'' to 5''). So it made sense to use this sprite for her, even when I made slight adjustments to her eyes and nose by making the eyes a little wider and bigger and the nose a bit more pronounced as DRA!Teruya's nose is very small. Out of three of the five designs I've made, I kept this short hairstyle of hers with a large ahoge as I loved this style the most and didn't want to change it. I based her bangs off of SDRA2!Teruya's length and style and the back of her hair like DRA!Teruya's, but I changed the way the strands looked so that it'd look more like her own hairstyle but you can still see the resemblance between the two of them. The ahoge, though, is very much real, unlike Kojiro's and Teruya's (they canonically style their hair like that on purpose), and she cannot fix it no matter how hard she tries. So she just gave up and let it be. Tamami got stuck with the protagonist trait, even though she died before the events of Danganronpa, lol. I've never been a fan of fictional kids looking like carbon copies of their parents. Like, you have the meta-power to design these kids anyway you like and you just make them look exactly like one of their parents? Unless their look-alike appearance is plot relevant, it's just weird for them to look so much like one parent that they can easily be mistaken as siblings and has zero resemblance to the other. And that's saying a lot coming from me who looks a lot more like my Irish dad from skin tone alone, but even then people can tell that I'm at least Asian because of my facial structure and even asked as such, tying my appearance to my Filipino mom. I don't know, I just like seeing a mix of traits for the kids to have inherited from their parents, you know? So, since Kojiro already has a design with green hair and green eyes, I decided to have Tamami have a different hair color, gray and green, but she also has green eyes, just a different shade. Teruya inherited his mother's eyes while getting his father's hair. Since I headcanon Teruya to have freckles, Tamami has freckles as well and as I mentioned before in this post, I adjusted her skin tone to be more obviously tanned instead of dusty from my older drawings of her. And then there's the outfit, which is a dark gray tank top, a long denim(?) skirt, dark reddish-brown boots, a blue handkerchief scarf to match with Kojiro, and a big fluffy yellow sweater with a checkerboard pattern that is tucked into her skirt, and long puffy sleeves that hangs off of her shoulders. The rainbow stripes on her skirt and the rainbow bracelet ties her design to Teruya's as he wears a rainbow as well, and I thought it'd be a neat idea for them to have a similar love for rainbows even though they've never met (cause she died via childbirth). The thought of Teruya still inheriting some of his mom's mannerisms and traits even though they never officially met scratches my brain in a good, angsty way. I wonder what Kojiro thinks whenever he recognizes parts of Tamami in Teruya...And that's it for Tamami's design! Hopefully it'll stay this way.

Tiny characters that can beat the shit out of an enemy that's much taller than them will always be peak character design, you can't change my mind on that.

All vessels are children. Stop drawing Hollow porn. There is no proof that vessels age mentally at all. They can get taller yes, but all vessels are children still. They all died young.

Anon if this is about me being uncomfortable with porn of Ghost on the account that they're physically still a child, I'm pretty fucking sure that I already stated that I'm not gonna do anything about it other than state that I don't want that gross shit on my blog. I'm not a fucking cop. And I most CERTAINLY already stated that nonsexual content of Ghost being an adult in a child's body doesn't bother me at all, its exclusively the porn that gets to me.

Anyways for me what matters is physical maturity because sex is harmful to young bodies so idc if you hc Ghost as mentally an adult, they still need to be physically an adult as well. Because yeah there very much is a maturity/development shift shown in canon, the vessels canonically hatched from eggs in the abyss and Ghost is still canonically the same size and has the same proportions as all the newborn vessels that died in the Abyss. Hollow is markedly physically different, has text saying that they were 'raised to prime form' and shares characteristics with other adult characters including their parents, so they're sexually mature and and fully an adult, plus their cut dreamnail dialogue, the grace of their actions, and their resilance against the Radiance makes them pretty fucking clearly mentally an adult as well. Don't infantilize them because that bothers me way fucking worse than the concept of Ghost being an adult in a child body ever will

Age regression is a whole other can of worms that I'm not educated enough to make an argument on but I'm pretty fucking grossed out by the 'oh they may be a child but they're mentally an adult so its okay uwu' argument bc that's an actual pedo argument that's made irl. The reverse, on the other hand, is not true, and infantilizing grownass adults is both an abuse tactic used to take agency away from victims and an excuse to wave the blame away from privilaged adults who got themselves into hot shit. Idk if they're fictional characters, the mirror of both of those things are close enough to irl issues that it makes me want to vomit and I am within full right to say that I don't want to see or interact with either of them. If you don't like it, get the fuck off my blog

Alright, fine, I'll bite - a bitch who knows quite literally Nothing abt the franchise, if one were to try checking out Dragon Age, where should they start? Would it be incredibly stupid to just start right off the bat with the new one? Also - consider that the bitch is Fucking Terrible at Video Games - how hard are they to play?
