Ashton "I serve the weak, I serve the forgotten, I serve the dirt beneath our feet" Me "Saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"

"Not so smiley day, is it?"

FUCKING BRUTAL, MATT.

imo the Grand Demon of Loathing is going to hit them all with reasons they hate (or could hate) themselves already:

Dorian's is all the reasons he was in the closet, all the reasons he was overshadowed by Cyrus, all the people he failed to be good enough to help (all the reasons someone he might love would not want him)

Imogen is her father's disgust, Liliana's choosing power over love for her daughter, Imogen's hypocrisy of also wanting power for personal gratification and lying to her friends (and herself) about it, her deep deep desire to be normal and the knowledge that she was a freak instead, her inability to save Laudna and her own doom to be alone (and deserve it)

Ashton's their many many failures, the times when they should they could rise above others and proved how pathetically they fall instead, it's FCG's death and the Nobodies' departure and parents who didn't care about them enough to reject power -- and their inevitable same fate, and all the reasons they deserved to be left behind

Orym's is being just a small little guy, just a toy soldier in front of a monumental horror, his inability to save people, and his inability to stick to his own better principles when those he loved most would have wanted him to (the ways he is letting down their memory and dragging down his friends now), and possibly his Fey doom to be alone and shackled forever, because he's just not as powerful, not as strong, not as good as they were or as he tells himself he is

Fearne's is her dark side again, her flightiness and selfishness, all the times she was a ditzy fool in the face of the grave seriousness of the world, all the times she made terrible choices and others paid for it (all the people who were glad they left her)

And perhaps most of all

Laudna's is already out there—all the negging Delilah has done to isolate and control her; it's the way she is powerless and her friends are special, it's that she always drags everyone down and they deserve to be free of her, it's that she is not fun-scary but just a rotten mistake and it would be better if she let herself go and stopped pretending to be worth saving

= Dominox has to be about preying and drawing on the ways that people shrink when they believe they DESERVE the worst of what they get. It's about pure Loathing and "insecurity"—it's the howl of the Abyss.

Fun!

[p.s. I do think Chet's beats coulda been more powerful if Matt had had another week to think of them. Like yes I guess Chet is haunted by accidentally killing people but he has been pretty resilient about that prospect. What he hasn't been so casual about is hurting his friends. It's why he chewed Ashton out so bad after the first Shard incident. It's why he peacocks so hard to all the higher-ups they meet. He doesn't want to be discounted and he really doesn't want to lose another family. I think if he gets Dommed again, it would also have to be about that.)

Of course the two most difficult characters to draw have to go together so well 🙄🧡💚

And these dorks??

[cringefaecompilation]

ash/rym as a ship is genuinely starting to frustrate me. taking the tiniest crumbs of flirting and orym's kindness and empathy that he'd give to anybody and taking it as proof that they're canon but bashing callow/moore and treating every single bad fan of the ship as indicative of the badness of the ship itself. and how people ONLY started insisting fearne was aro when she started gaining more romantic feelings towards ashton. because apparently her whole thing with chetney was a joke and they don't actually care about each other on a deeper level. sure.

it just feels hypocritical.

Excerpt from a Letter written by Luke to the Queen:

Mama, I know that this is hurting you. I, however, wish you knew how much this was torturing me. I cannot come home if you wish me to forget about the love of my life. You may say that it is a mistake, but I know what it is. He makes me human. I do not hope to leave that. I do not wish to leave him.

I love you, ma. Though it seems you do not love me. Please open your heart to who I am.

(P.s. I am Safe. He keeps me safe.)

Love, Your son

Luke

Interviewer: In light of everything happening, do you have anything to say on your brothers behalf?

Crown Prince: He has kept in contact with me

The interviewer notices a slight fidget in the Crown Princes’ hands

Crown Prince: The thing is… my brother, Luke, has always been the bravest one out of my whole family. He has given me permission to say this.

The interviewer leans in, holding their already cold cup of coffee

Crown Prince: My brother says that he wants to be free more than he wants to be royal. His love is not a mistake. He is just brave enough to speak up.

Not that anyone who’s been complaining about FCG supposedly not caring about Ashton or whatever actually cares about FCG’s characterization, but for the record: FCG doesn’t typically talk about things that upset them without outside prompting. They didn’t talk about missing or mourning Dancer without someone else bringing her or something related to her up ever and even when they did talk about her, they usually brushed their own feelings to the side after a second. He’s gotten better about expressing himself a little bit, but usually in a “I am feeling bad in a way that might make me literally attack you all, so be aware of that!” sort of way.

It doesn’t matter how much or how little he misses Ashton, FCG was never going to be spending a lot of time vocally expressing that.
