i have to finish my cool epic comic job deadline first before i can make fanart for it but i need to say this right now. i finished the standalone novel "the spear cuts through water" by simon jimenez last friday and i'm still crazy about it. like i fear it's already my favorite book of 2025 and it's only january.
my fellow fantasy metafiction fans GET ON THIS!!!!!*
*if you can handle it! it's an adult epic fantasy with very graphic violence. cws: gore, domestic (familial) abuse, torture, cannibalism, body horror, ableism, probably more...
#tsctw#i swear to god i will make the junkeema art soon.#i know orv nation is here. you like super weird stories about stories right. well. i got something for you.#and it is also a love story.#from what i heard: audiobook will either transport you to another dimension OR leave you completely clueless/confused#also i hope you're ready for 2nd person POV. among others.#might also hit extra hard if you're filipino. because the author is filipino-american. it sure did for me LMAO

this moment so fucked up💀
#horror spn moments and its dean torturing sam psychologically in 4 different ways under a min he could've just asked if sam lied#the pacing the lightful to knife lethal seriousness the yelling dean so psychopath 💔#this messes with my head bruh i hated how i couldn't actually predict how he'd lash out on sam#chat I think its time to kill dean#its fucked up that sam spends this arc trying to SAVE dean and the narration and dean treat him like he's melting the earth's crust#and must be crucified#meanwhile when dean decides he might have to KILL sam it's painted as a heroic sacrifice for the greater good#sam doomed if he tries to save but is manipulated and doomed if he tries to also save and well-intentioned#and his punishment for both times Is just death#why are we lowering the guillotine on the guy for trying to save his brother???? he was literally distressed and hiding about it#like he's smuggling a nuclear bomb with full determination to destroy the planet#yea there was grave consequences later but dean's gripe was him going against his wish to be doomed with the mark#you can talk respecting wishes if dean wasn't spending the whole last season flagrantly ignoring sam's wishes half the time#and the other half he spends it DEVASTATED when sam says he'll respect his wishes if he were in his shoes. the whole theme of s9 finale#was dean WANTING to be saved by sam and asking for that morally grey treatment back#If he's gon change his mind one minute and the other then he could have just not practically begged for what sam was doing here#dean's emotional fluctuations arent sam's responsibility#this sounds deancrit but no I'm just speaking from a pov everyone collectively decided to ignore part of its nuance#sam winchester#dean winchester#samdean#spn meta in tags#mine#the editing is supposed to make it haha but the scene is still not hahaing sm..

the tudors (2007-2010) / the concubine, by christopher rae / the six queens of henry viii (2016) / zombie (2018), cover by bad wolves / the white princess (2017) / hunting the falcon, by john guy & julia fox / viii, by hm castor / the white queen (2013) / henry viii, by lucy wooding / firebrand (2023)
#christopher rae pls forgive me. your portrayal of henry's memory of this eats all others...i could not NOT include#prism of privilege (he does not know what it is to be 'imprisoned' in the tower. he knows what it is to be confined there. as a child.#in fear it might have well felt like that...but#)#notwithstanding...#then in the tudors we have the prism of#his sanctified memory of his mother#means he wants to believe he had a deep affinity with her. so it's that she 'seemed' calm but he 'knew' she was terrified... (like him)#but elizabeth had experience of being in sanctuary ; very young; for much longer stretches#she would have known what would best comfort her children in that situation#web weaving#2023- allegedly.#and also how different the memory and associations of place are depending on the pov#for henry's subjects it's a place of fear/punishment#for henry it's a place he would associate with refuge ; a fortress of protection and majesty#but also a place of fear and sorrow#it's the place where it's said his uncles were murdered; for once#(the tower was also where his mother had her last lying in; and she died there)#and then it'll have an even more juxtapositional place in his heart/mind as he becomes older#it was where he both welcomed his wife after her coronation and where he sent her to die once he'd decided she'd betrayed him

2024 reads / storygraph
In The Roses of Pieria
dark fantasy romance
a woman takes a well-paying but suspicious sounding job as an archivist working for a mysterious estate owner, and finds herself translating numerous never-before-seen artifacts from her specialty field on an ancient civilisation
as she begins to translate romantic letters between two ancient figures and unravel more about them, her frustration over the knowledge being kept secret and confusion over what the letters reveal grows
but between that and her developing feelings for her employer’s assistant, she finds out that getting to close to these secrets is dangerous
lesbians, vampires, fey
#In The Roses of Pieria#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#sapphic books#oughhhhhh yeah this was pretty good!#it’s such an interesting mix of elements and I think it pulls it off pretty well. But also definitely won’t work for everyone.#I definitely was most intrigued by the fungal fey but also knew going in that that was a more minor aspect.#However seems like it’ll be much more significant as the series goes on so am interested in that#the fungi fey stuff is like. hmm mycelial hivemind vibes. which i like the idea of#It starts off very slow and atmospheric and then the danger and action creeps up all of a sudden#and I can only assume that the series will continue with the higher stakes#if you like the idea of timewar but want it to be more grounded narratively (and also from the POV of mere humans reading the letters#not just focused on them) you might like this?? but also there’s a lot of other things going on. so#I will say…plot hole? I am confused how V needed C to translate the letter to send to A#when the whole point of C’s job is that A can’t read the ancient language anymore. did i miss something there lol?#also damn we got a furry but then she immediately lost her furry abilities forever. rip.

an edek themed collage 🪲
#not me posting this just to have an excuse to talk about him more aaahahhhah#i've created edek approx 4 years ago and since then he went through little to no design changes#he is jus flawless. perfect#his personality however.. oof#i mean !!! he's not a bad guy#as i mentioned before he's very friendly and open to new people and opportunities#its just. he was based on my (now) ex best friend#me and that friend were close during primary school and despite me moving cities we managed to keep this friendship going#but you know. it wasnt the same. it became long distance#and i think i manifested my longing by creating an oc that was based on his aesthetics and personality#it took me some time to realise that i've been viewing this friend through lens of this oc. that of course lead to idealisation#because he wasn't physically there with me i created an imaginary version of him in my head#it was also because at this point we were getting older and slowly growing apart#and i think i wanted to grasp a little part of him that would still understand me#edek's relationship with ryba was also heavily influenced by this relationship#and. well. the things that my ex friend and edek have in common are short temper (despite acting chill) and trouble showing affection#he also tends to say things faster than he can even think them through#oh and he enjoys long walks through the woods and mountain hiking and bicycling and bugs and mushrooms and. yeah#and the other traits!!!!#he is suuuuuuper protective of his loved ones especially his younger sister irenka#his interest include everything thats fantasy and with folklore themes#hes also a stoner lol#aaand a funfact - he and zbyszek (of dycha za zbycha!!!!) used to be friends in childhood but they aren't friends as of now#why you might ask? from edek's pov zbyszek and his family just randomly disappeared#and edek was the only one that wasn't in on the fact that they have moved to the usa#edek wondered why his best friend at that time didn't tell him such important news#and often thought that there mustve been something wrong with him or zbyszek didn't actually like him that much#this incident heeeavily influenced his perception of relationships in the future#OH AND ALSOO hes an artist he graduated art hs with a degree in graphic design and is in college for the same thing#original character

you don't understand how good it feels to be drawing an unhinged kuukou again lmao
#this is vee speaking#i got to make some kuukou assumptions AND draw him wild asf it's been a productive day lol#no the finished pic will not be my post for tomorrow tho LOL#spoilers it's ichikuu based on the live lol#a couple of ichikuu fans have been posting about how kimura has been very slowly shifting perspectives#and being more aware of hayama-san as a performing partner and i have noticed it as well#bc i actually really hate the way that man usually looks at hayama-san LOL kimura's always thought hayama-san was talented#and i could see it in his eyes how much he felt a bit threatened by it lol so it's weird from my pov to see him trying to find a new groove#hayama-san vocal ichikuu supporter from day one lmao thru out the live kept wanting to do his little adlibs noises like he does with hitoya#but kept backing down also not yet in his groove with kimura lol#it’s very funny to watch them be so aware of each other but missing the beat#some might say it's irl ichikuu in a way but that's NOT me lmao

im kind of an apologist for the crew when it comes to epic tbh.. justice for them gone too soon 🕊️
#like they really didn't do anything wrong. everything bad that happened was either on odysseus or eurylochus.#'what about the mutiny' think about it from their pov. captain just sacrificed six people willy nilly like i'd mutiny too 😭#how are they supposed to trust him after that#like we get it bc we are the audience watching from odysseus' perspective. but from theirs it might as well have been from nowhere#and then they all died 💀#THAT'S NOT EVEN TO SAY OF THE CREW ON THE OTHER SHIPS IN THE FLEET. WHO DIED WITHOUT A CLUE OF HOW THEY WERE EVEN IN THAT SITUATION#also i am the first person to defend eurylochus i promise but i do see some people act as if the whole crew opened the windbag and like.#they wanted to. but eurylochus is the one who did it.#holding my fav accountable for this one guys YFKDGJTDJFJSTJ#cherry chats🍒

#⠀ᶻᶻ⠀turn it up!⠀#unrelated croomf has pissed me off to immeasurable amounts. reduced back to oomf#overthat#anyway#DY piece tn i need it to go#and also this song is soooo minhui i threw up everywhere#decided for better or for worse that kit will be implemented here instead of in the group w kyun.. kyun works best on his own for me idk#he’s not gnna have a massive part (for now) and i dont plan on him leaving 127 to join BB or anything so he’ll def stay on the side#buttttt i did start up a little gogo piece through his eyes#i rly like the idea of never writing in gg’s pov does that jst make me sound rly lazy#BECAUSE!!!!! IM NOT!!! well i am but not w this hear me out#he puts on so many faces with everyone and even if with some he’s more ‘him’ than with others he’s never really actually#gone the whole way bared his soul the whole shebang to everyone bar like one person. so he’s kinda lonely AS EFF!!!#and idk i js like the idea of him being (when u get down 2it) a stranger. he doesnt even wanna show himself to the narrative IJBOLLL#sooooo yeah. it does kinda sound like a cop-out 4 if he acts like a different person in every piece but i think ive been p consistent so#that one person was in dream btw.. he left partly because he was bored and felt like he’d end up going nowhere and#partly because he was HUMILIATED by doing all that he needed to pack his bags and get the fuck out its kinda funny#mention ** to him and he’ll look like that pic of that one 2000 yard stare soldier its serious#worse than saying ‘hyeonmin and jaehee are in the same room rn haha’ to yijun.. but barely anyone will ever find that out#ANYWAY! i like to think kit + cherryade are the closest to seeing minhui as he is right after redacted explosions gunshots#‘im on fire and i’ve got to break out’ + ‘i've had enough of this got to break it through’ LIKE ITS HIMMM!#and dont even mention the ‘got to leave all trouble living life on the double’ I HATE THIS OSNGGGG#They made it for him.

a friend who'd wait :)
#im posting this very late because i was sort of weary of how it came out and ended up messing w it until it was like 4am oops.#and i have plans tmrw so... oh well! i did my best and ill put it out while i can!#and i tried to make the scene match barnard's colors lol#finn's ocs#finn's art#i know i said id do more sillay stuff with the simpler screentone only style but i had a couple more of these in me#and this is the first piece im making thats like an actual part of the story too rather than just setting stuff for fun#i wanna write something to go with it too but for now ill just sort of briefly explain the context in the tags here:#barnard has a pretty bad case of OCD and his compulsions have made it difficult to make friends in the past#he was never outright bullied or anything but people just didnt really have the patience to deal with it#he has compulsions that include stuff like walking through doors until it feels right and needing things to be perfectly aligned#which in group settings has lead to people having to wait for him to finish his rituals and join them#they might find it tolerable at first but eventually they grow impatient and hes just... not invited to stuff anymore#but juno is a newer member of the guild who ends up frequenting the same library. hes also kinda a little weird#and they dont become fast friends or anything but just sort of naturally spend time in the same place#though they never plan meetups they eventually fall into a routine. around the same time theyd just both be at the library#and read next to each other. and maybe talk a bit. and eventually they end up walking back to the guildhall together#since theyre going to the same place after all. and juno always waits for barnard outside the door#eventually barnard asks if this bothers him. juno kinda just tells him 'of course it does' without any malice or anything. just a statement#barnard is surprised and apologizes and juno says not to. but the next day juno doesnt show up at the usual time.#barnard assumes hes committed somekinda more by bringing it up. he ends up staying there late reading to get his mind off it & not ruminate#but when he leaves juno is in fact still waiting for him down the hall (see pic) having collected a bunch of books literally abt ocd#he fell asleep bc barnard stayed later than expected. and hes an eepy guy generally. and also one very bad at expressing himself#but now barnard gets that juno's 'of course it [bothers me]' had the implication of 'but its worth it' which no friend has previously done.#and from the interaction juno was also able to understand that this isn't something barnard just does for the hell of it so. he studies.#and checks a bunch of stuff out because he thinks it could help his friend too (theres ocd workbooks and such- i remember working w them)#and thats the point where they became more ''friends'' than ''pleasant library acquaintances''#from there on they also do get into juno's problems. whole other bag of worms. but this specific scene is more about bernard from his pov#sorry about when i said briefly explain. i lied </3#but compared to the whole sequence im picturing its brief so shhh

as incompetent as the jimmy scar duo was, can we just acknowledge how jimmy got (edit: at least) 6 out of the 10 ender dragon pillars?? he popped off!
#he did that!!#my boy!#to be fair they actually held up very well considering how much grian was sabotaging them lmao#this video concept was so fun i loved all of the povs#jimmy solidarity#goodtimeswithscar#piglinmynose#on rewatch it seems like he might have gotten 9 of them??#the only other one shown on camera was joel getting one#and with the timing it seems like grian and scar didnt get any#either way jimmy is very skilled with a bow

monitoring by deco*27 could be a soldierspy song if you just give me 12 hours and 5 cans of monster to explain
#not rb#I need to stop saying this type of shit#already feeling like that one “sponge plus star equals clam” spongebob gif#“guys I think apple is orange” *never elaborates* *leaves*#okay but listen. LISTEN‚#pov character (of the mv) is a paranoid freak projecting a mix of fear (of judgement) and desire onto the singer.#said singer ultimately just wants them to be okay but might be unusually persistent/devoted in said endeavour (up to interpretation??)#“lean on me with your whole weight” thinks of their dynamic in emblue where soldier constantly sacrifices for spy for practically no reason#(other than his commitment to the system)#is that how spy sees him? a willing‚ almost eager pawn?#“call my name‚ and anytime I’ll come hither” do you get it. Do You Understa#also just. The theme of perceived inseparability#“I'll always be by your side” are words the pov character is putting in the singer's mouth#(well. the entire song is. but you get it)#(actually on a meta level this song works best when sung by vsynth/vocaloid bc of both the fictitious nature of the singer and the fact tha#that *all* vocaloid songs are technically putting words into the mouth of an interpretation of said singer. if that makes any sense)#sorry that's off topic anyways my point being#the pov character is both put off and endeared by whom they perceive to be a weirdo watching them#this is the closest they have to a support system. this is the only person they really have batting for them#they are also unwilling to really open up to this interpretation of the singer because it's easier to imagine that they already know#that the pov character won't have to go through the trouble of exposing themselves. that the singer understands in the way they need to#and is blindly‚ unquestioningly loyal Anyway#remind you (me) of anyone#this is how I justify listening to this fucking song on repeat for the past 72 hours#this is also how I spread my “soldier should lovingly maul spy because they're both freaks” agenda#ty for coming to my ted talk. I had to save this in my drafts first to make sure I didn't hit the tag limit 💀

one day i will have all the words 2 explain why the ctommy "finale" (its not canon in my heart like at all ive never considered it canon) was so horribly harmful
#others have put it very well together many times before but thag ending srsly sucked so so bad from a writing pov and w how harmful it was#id add more in these tags but im sleepy#'it was showing that they really were both not villains or heros and ctommys been weong this entire time and tbeh are alike!'#<-get shaken around#the ending putting what ctommy and cdream have done on the same level as if theres not a whole power dynamic and child abuse like cmon guys#cdream was still actively abusing ctommy in tbag entire scene . putting him down and agh. idk idk people r out of their minds fkr thinking#that endings anywhere near okay#abuse ment#idk what 2 tag this with erm !!!#ive not rewatxhed it since it came out bc it was very upsetting for me so i might be missing details but this post is more abt the general#stuff anywho#theres also. the entire aspect of the damage control with jt of course and ugh. disgusting#this is just me rambling#but yeah

I've decided. I don't like the HTTYD movie sequels' xenophobia era. I don't think the themes should have gone that way.
#or isolationism or defeatism or segregation or valuing heteroamatonormativity and something uncomfortably close-#-to the Divine Right of Kings (or at least 'might makes right') above and beyond everything else.#I think it really undercut the first movie.#although in some awful way I guess it makes sense that they concluded by framing Hiccup and Toothless' relationship as -#-something bad that fundamentally 'needed' to end#because that relationship was the microcosm of growing out of the Othering and 'us vs them' mentality#and growing into a new era of progress and support and cultural exchange and compassion beyond your in-group#and the sequels no longer believe in any of those things.#I was originally way too lenient to HTTYD2 because I cared about the characters and story and really wanted to like it.#but also because it was an unfinished story and I used to have faith in the third one. before. you know.#I didn't want to believe that the message of HTTYD2 could have actually been that Hiccup should just believe his authorities#when they say that an othered enemy they don't really understand or know much about is just extremely dangerous#and will always go for the kill and cannot be reasoned with and war is the only option.#the narrative punishes Hiccup for NOT taking this for granted MUCH more harshly than HTTYD1 'punished' Stoick for the opposite.#(which isn't a criticism of HTTYD1 which actually treated the characters as well-meaning ppl with their own POVs-#-and actually let them learn and grow and put focus on portraying THAT.)#in the sequels the only ideas that get challenged are Hiccup's progressive push which just gets killed in the third.#so they can return to traditionalism. and this idea that everyone outside of Berk's homogenous in-group is irredeemably evil#(except Eret who kinda just stopped mattering and being his own character)#and because of all these Evil Foreigners. their unchallenged unique in-group just can't have nice things#so they just apply segregation and the dragons should Go Back Where They Came From and the humans stay on their new big rock#that looks like the physical manifestation of isolationism.#what was even the POINT of ANYTHING from the first movie anymore?#httyd criticism#httyd2 criticism#httyd3 criticism#thw criticism#thw negativity#httyd3 negativity#I don't think this is a very thematically coherent trilogy. they did a full 180° against the first movie.

actually i changed my mind bc the long tags made me excited, here's this. there's actually three admins here, one of them was the lightning
it is EXTREMELY rushed, it's just supposed to be a concept not the actual finished thing. also puts his scale more into perspective, i forgot to include that in the post
#if you couldnt guess we have like. a whole story. it will never see the light of day lmao#anyways i dont wanna say the admins. feel cringe both from outsider pov but also insider pov. players will ask why the hell these two KJGFH#i just like them ok they're my faves... sorry mini#mini already has a rift form that's lame#and besides at least one guy here was involved in early development. idk if the other was or not but oh well favoritism wins#the only one you might be able to guess is the guy on the left but he's also been changed by the rift#does have one very defining characteristic tho. not the wings that's more rift junk#guy on the right is. just some guy 😭 HE'S SO BASIC THERE'S NOTHING TO WORK WITH KFJDHG#but the rift also got rid of the only cool thing he had on him#see his rift form is that he went from weird to normal and it's really jarring#he isnt magical and he's pretty normal so um. all your physical modifications left. L#poor guy hasnt even noticed. he was too focused on almost dying. twice.#awa
