i will forever defend these two- NOT to start discourse but they are both so heavily mischaracterized by the fandom its INSANE like omg yes they are flawed but they are also trying their best PLEASE leave them alone 🙏🙏🙏
as usual im yapping in the tags if anyone cares
#rose rambling#this is not directed at anyone#just some observations within the fandom ive noticed#i genuinely sympathize with jayce sm he may be making mistakes but he is trying his best under a stressful position#that he didn't even want to be in in the first place#there isn't a LOOT of people who are anti ekko or anything but he's genuinely so erased from fandom spaces#NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HIM and it makes me sad#or they completely mischaracterize him as this like emotionless stoic badass???#he literally cried during our first intro to him when he hugged vi but! sure!!!#but yea jayce and ekko are both of my favs#jayce is a problematic fav and ekko is an unproblematic fav who has done basically next to nothing wrong#jayce? hes flawed.#he killed a kid#hes classist#hes lowkey a capitalist#but he cares sooo much ab people around him and prioritizes viktor and mel over everyone else#even though everyone around him seems to only want to use him#and ekko? he was forced to grow up without the guidance of someone like silco or vander#he was ALONE when he built his safe haven#and he is so caring and emotional and SWEET and people just disregard so much of both of their characters#i could give character analysis' on both of them for HOURSSS#arcane#arcane theory#arcane ekko#ekko arcane#ekko#arcane jayce#jayce talis#jayce arcane#arcane jayce talis

litany of the martyrs (click for better resolution!)
#at some point i wanted to make an illustration for each character but in retrospect maybe each is multiple song-coded..#drew the sketch for a quincy thing after a chat with a mutual reminded me this song existed dfsghjkl and then spent weeks rendering this#quincy cynthius martin#adamandi#i'm finally done with this! the saints especially were joys to paint and the halo a menace.... this has been the most ambitious one so far.#but it also took quite long because i only worked on it <engages with quincy> when mentally okay to deal with the themes. i'm not religious#but i do identify with the irrational(?ish) guilt + family legacy + academic achievement + disregard for self. also more complex thoughts#about love [but depsite quincent being a large part of quincy's character this piece deals with mostly the Rest of it. so another time..]#anyways! in the original sketch- the saints had heads bent towards quincy so the halo spikes pointed at him. but this worked better! halos#of the saints implying/creating one for quincy was a concept from the start though. in the show they don't touch him directly here but#differences in mediums i think- i don't have time in an image to craft a narrative so everything has to be happening. also artistic liberty#misc inspiration for this includes stained glass windows. i might have maybe misinterpreted the saint costume but i think i logic-ed it out#as the cloth part following a nun's habit w the hood. and then halo above. the material is also more transparent originally but i had. um.#too much fun painting fabric folds.. if you look closely you can see the basis of faces though behind the cloth; but only the vague shapes#because smth obscurity + inhumanness// cassian is the only one i gave a mouth though. that stems from melliot's post about the saints and#st cassian as spokesperson (<- did research teehee!) that's also how i found out which costume = which saint. speaking of which.#left to right: 'st lucy take my hand' // 'st lawrence give me strength' (presses quincy forward; but hand on shoulder connotates guidance)#/'st cassian help me smile' (quincy's mouth is btwn a grimace and a smile; tilts up at side. also no direct touch bc added insidiousness.)#//'st jude [...] i hope your causes burn' (jude's hand is in two places to show movement- nearing the flame and then snatching back; burnt)#other notes: at the midst of the flame the core is shaped like a human heart /the saints and their wax are all melting like the candle for#fun visual effect and also this way they are even less tangible <real>. perks of painting as a medium i guess. // also insp from icarus?#wax and burning imagery; looking at the halo and rays as parallel to sun that burns. too close to the sun; melting; hurting; hurtling //#candles at bottom are a nod to the frankly gorgeous set// also the entire composition kind of stems from the lyric <what use is a candle if#both ends aren't burning>; the two sides between the concepts of catholic guilt and academic perfection that spur quincy#the halo above (saints and guilt; litanyofthemartyrs) and the 'halo' below (academic papers; insp from choreo for perfect at school)#the papers were originally supposed to be more glowy. but i like the idea of it now being a reflection of how quincy's priorities shift#also of note is that <candle> in centre = quincy; w burning candle + aforementioned heart in flame -> most human; idea of love + passion#last thoughts: kneeling + hands close tgt = prayer //wax dripping onto the red As make an effect that looks like blood. because i like#hiding that within the adamandi pieces :OO continuity!! // i've run out of tags but yeah! had fun with this one! every so often i go a#little insane in making art and the final result astounds even me. ngl i'm quite proud of this one. pretty colours <3333

Momo confirmed: there can never be a Banri-centric three:vale
And actually, his logic behind this is really interesting. Because at it's heart, the difference is that with Banri, Momo could never have formed the same sort of codependent relationship that he does with Yuki. Banri is capable of taking charge and taking care of himself, and so Momo wouldn't feel the need to step forward and try to help him.
Hell, it's only after he realizes that no one's taking care of Yuki that he reaches out to him in the first place. Momo establishes very well in Re:member that he needs to feel needed and useful to feel loved, or to express his love, and Yuki lets him do that in spades. Banri, though. Banri doesn't need someone to dote on him (or at least so judges Momo) and therefore Momo's acts of service (his declarations of love) are unwarranted at best and unnoticed at worst.
Whether or not this is actually true is a whole separate question. Banri does seem to rely on Momo when he's helping them out backstage (Momo valiantly kills the dreaded spider for him) -- but he does it in a moderate sort of way, taking the time to make sure Momo's not overexerting himself (ie, when he's lugging around more equipment in one trip than he probably ought to be) and that he is generally taking care of himself as much as he's taking care of others.
But Momo seems to want someone who relies on him too heavily. He needs to devote himself fully and completely to another person (perhaps because he feels he can no longer fully devote himself to his own dreams, so he seeks some other outlet, someone else's dream to latch onto to replace that). He gets drawn in by Yuki's sopping wet meow meow nature and the fact that Yuki so clearly needs someone to take care of him, because Yuki is the only one who enables him to express his love in the way he wants to. Needs to, perhaps. Regardless of how (un)healthy that expression and the resulting relationship is.
That's why MomoBan won't work with just each other. That's why they need Yuki to draw them together: Momo needs someone who he can devote his everything to, and Banri can never be that person for him.
#I forgot he says this#I was looking for this panel earlier when I was gathering examples of their assigned sides but I forgot he just. says it openly like this#it is really interesting that we never really get to see Ban's impression of Momo tho#obviously everything we see of their early relationship in re:member is heavily colored by it being in Momo's POV#so we see Ban as Momo sees ban : cool. collected. suave and hunky. and most of all independent#bug killing aside -- which sort of teases the idea that maybe if it weren't for yuki Momo might be able to see more of how#Banri COULD fulfill that need for him to be useful to someone#but he's so besotted with Yuki (even before he realizes it)#(because despite his claims that he likes them both equally it's pretty clear here that he's already picked his favorite)#but he's so besotted with Yuki that Ban's needy moments don't even register to him#maybe if everything had been different#and Yuki had never been in the picture#the two of them could have meshed well together#But as it stands Yuki fulfills everything Momo wants in a partner - someone to devote himself fully. who always needs him and relies on him#someone who can give him purpose and direction -- not by guiding him but by needing guidance#man I really need to learn to not dump whole paragraphs of analysis in the tags huh#idolish7#i7#re:vale#yukito orikasa#momose sunohara#banri ogami

Max might just be the most important character in El’s story arc
#which isnt to discount the importance of any other character#everyone has there place and cannot be removed or replaced#…but max is the most important one for els arc#if els story is about her discovering who she is as a person#max was the first one who led her in that direction#max was the first one who guided el towards the goal#until it was disrupted by vecna#and now el has experienced the loss of the mentor#and her final challenge will be crafting who she is as a person on her own without max’s guidance#also#elmax#el hopper#max mayfield#stranger things#stranger things analysis

Let’s talk twink Mickey and s11 Ian
me as my pupils dilate, mouth goes dry, vision goes a little blurry, brain starts vibrating inside my skull: uh hey yeah sure we can talk about twink mickey and s11 ian
i'm just spitballing here but maybe we can like, talk about beefy s11 ian seeing twink mickey in a bar with his hair combed back and his cute undercut? and his pouty lips and delicate features and tight little body and his swagger? and just wanting to throw him around a little. do we maybe talk about how ian wants to see how his hands envelop mickey's smaller, tattooed hands, how they fit around his waist, how they cover the back of his head? how they wrap around his pale, gorgeous neck, maybe? if he's into it? he wants to see how easy it is to haul him up and hold him. he wants to see how good he takes it. despite everything he seems to be trying to exude, he's fucking pretty. and ian wants to see just how pretty he looks under him.
and we can maybe talk about how receptive mickey is when this tall, beautiful man approaches him, how his stomach flips when he realizes how far he has to tilt his head back to make eye contact when he stands close? how dorky he sounds when he flirts with him, but how confident and sexy he sounds when they get close and he leans in to whisper to him? how it makes his hair stand on end and gives him goosebumps when his voice drops? oh, he wants to fucking climb this dude. big arms, big eyes, big hands. beautiful smile. sweet demeanor. yeah, he's down. he'd be crazy not to be. so he gives as good as he gets, cocky and seductive and ian's fucking delighted. fucking thrilled.
wanna maybe talk about how they roll with this immediate attraction and chemistry, and ian takes mickey home and gets to throw him around just like he wanted? and mickey does look so pretty under him? and ian can fit his hands around him so easily? and mickey's lost in it, obsessed with how big this dude is, in all ways? how fulfilling it is? how perfectly they seem to fit together?
#anon do you have a direct link to my brain.#i don't really know how to talk about this right now i'm feral. i need guidance. anon come back#the demons....they're making me incoherent#gallavich#asks

Sometimes I see posts on this site and I'm like oh okay, you guys don't actually believe in redemption and don't understand how it works at all. Cool. Okay.
#kai rambles#i wasnt that frustrated about it earlier#but i think its kinda festered a bit#but like#if you agree that a lot of men - especially young men - have been radicalised by the likes of andrew tate and the wider alt right pipeline#and your reaction to it is ''they have agency and free will. its up to them to become better people.''#either you dont understand radicalisation or you dont care about de-radicalising them#like no ones expecting you to coddle them and treat them like children in need of guidance#but at the end of the day they fell down this pipeline because they were searching for community#and if there is not a supportive community out there outside of the alt right#they're not gonna leave the alt right#no one is expecting you to bend over backwards for them#but you need to be open to the idea of people who are a little confused but have got the spirit#there is a fucking elitism problem in the left and im not gonna pretend there isnt#theres many people on the left who act as if you aren't good enough at leftism if you didnt always have leftist politics#and there are ''feminists'' who are like men are inherently bad and evil and i fucking know there are because im a trans guy#and these people are the loudest on the left#so if we actually want to de-radicalise people we have to be louder than this ugly minority#and no bell hooks was not only talking about being kind to young boys#like im sorry but the idea that ''men can stop being misogynistic anytime they want'' isnt something that will just work#that doesn't mean you need to bend over backwards and backflip to jupiter for them#but if you just call them out when you can and you know nudge them in the right direction#then that idea becomes real#we have to give people a chance to make good choices#god if you can just encourage them to read bell hooks

Hi! I have read a lot of LIAB and I loved it but it was honestly getting a bit too much for me and I had to stop reading cuz I was way too lost in the depressive feels. Your writing is so brilliant though!
I was just wondering how you think Azula would feel if she saw Zuko’s scars? I’m not even sure if you’ve already written this as the story continued or if you plan to soon and so won’t be able to answer, but the thought intrigues me!
haha yeah I have had NUMEROUS people say they started LIAB & couldn’t finish because it got to be too much, which is totally fine!! That’s why I love fanfic because there’s so many options for what different people wanna read. When I started liab I wanted to write a really dramatic emotionally dark and tragic love story - which I know some people aren’t into haha especially with how it’s written. (It was my first time writing ive learned a lot haha)
Seriously though! Thank you so much for complimenting my writing!!<3
ok that’s so crazy you asked this because we’re just at the part in the story where azula will be in the same city as zuko. But in ANY liab situation, I do think her initial reaction would depend on if she was prepared to see zuko or not and how much she knows about where he’s been.
Azula doesn’t enjoy not having control over people and situations- and we all know that when azulas not having a good time no one else is either. So if zuko pops up alive and she’s not expecting it I’m sure she’s going to be annoyed
But no matter what, I do think seeing his scars would surprise her, whether she expected them or not the sheer destruction that was done to zukos body would shock anyone. That’s also her brother, like she knows him he’s not just some extra in the background. she grow up with him and watched him throw tantrums and whine about his mommy and they played in the garden sometimes - & yeah she was prepared to see the SCAR but not all the Scars.
Since she’s rarely caught off guard I think her initial response would be to say something mean and clever to try and overcompensate for the shake in her voice and tremble in her hands. I’m sure she’d have a physical reaction - elevated heartbeat wandering eyes increased breathing but she wouldn’t wanna give zuko the satisfaction of catching her off guard (especially not if she thinks he’s working with his uncle to overthrow her)
she’d play it off but I think it’d haunt her, even if she had zuko in her clutches as a prisoner or ally his scars would stick with her. she’d see them in her dreams and when she closed her eyes, they’d burrow into her consciousness and if she starts to mentally unravel in liab like she did in canon and I’m sure zukos scars would be a significant part of pushing her into that insanity. Especially if she doesn’t know what the fuck happened to her brother lol. sorry I started rambling! I hope I answered the question lol! Thanks for the ask!!
#I could keep rambling like how what happened to zuko plays into her relationship with her mom#& the dynamic and relationship they had and if ursa put any pressure or guidance to try and influence azula to be nice to her brother#By asking her to look out for him because Azula was so smart and talented & zuko is… *gestures at him wet in the fountain* haha#But yeah it really depends on how someone writes azula & ursa and her parenting style family dynamics blah blah lol#Idk I love azula but I also don’t ever want to smooth out her jagged edges because I like her flaws and hostility just like zuko#I broke zuko a wittle bit so sorry zuko you’re a bit more liab than canon but he’s still full of flaws haha#Anywayyyyy maybe you’ll get your answer one of these days and you can just read that chapter to get your answer!!#But I did kind of hint to the direction I’d likely take it if azula saw zukos scars#No promises though because zuko stays covered (by a water tribe boy lol)#I love them they’re so cute this next chapter I wanna smack the shit out of them#Sorry for rambling I’m bored and lonely#Thanks for the ask!!#Ultipiggle#Liab#into the fire#ITF#Leaving it all behind

trench being the only person to say a kind word or even thank you to jesse when she's delivering mail in the first iteration of take control... :((((((((
#that art that came out of my queue earlier has me thinking thoughts... what a dynamic they couldve had...#big flashing banner ALTHOUGH I LIKE THE DECISION TO HAVE TRENCH BE DEAD BEFORE YOU MEET HIM/''HAUNTING THE NARRATIVE'' AS THE KIDS SAY#AND JESSE HAVE THE DIRECTORSHIP THRUST UPON HER WITH NO DIRECT GUIDANCE TO FIGURE IT OUT/MAKE IT HER OWN AS SHE GOES#the other week i had a dream that remedy rereleased the game and changed the beginning so you get to trenchs office a minute before hes sho#and i woke up SO MAD like HOW could they fuck it up that badly-- oh thank god it was only a dream#there was also a monkey. but that isnt relevant right now#what was i saying. idk. despite myself i like the concept of having trench be like a ghost in the machine/hotline and not just an echo#actually he was hiding out being vague in there at first because he knew how pissed jesse would be about the prime candidate program. and h#s embarrased about letting the hiss in. there we go fngjdbdjdnds#control#control remedy#original

Gospel of Thomas Studies - Message and Key Verses: Need For A Living One, Not Just Old Scriptures
52. His Disciples said to him: Twenty-four prophets preached in Israel, and they all spoke of you. He said to them: "You have ignored the Living One who is in your presence and you have spoken only of the dead."
59. Jesus said: "Look to the Living-One while you are alive, otherwise, you might die and seek to see him and will be unable to find him."
5. Know what is in front of your face and what is hidden from you will be revealed to you. For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed.
(108) Yeshua said, Whoever drinks from my mouth will become like me. I myself shall become that person, and the hidden things will be revealed to that one.
What the Living Master Reveals to the Student
17. The Master says: I will give to you what eye has not seen, what ear has not heard, what hand has not touched, and what has not occurred to the mind of man."
Or as Kabir Has Said
“It is the mercy of my true Guru that has made me to know the Unknown;
I have learned from Him how to
walk without feet,
to see without eyes,
to hear without ears,
to drink without mouth,
to fly without wings."
After the Teacher Dies, All We Have Are Old Scriptures From Now On? Rather, There is Succession and a New Living One Appointed For the Next Generation in the Gospel of Thomas
12) The students said to Yeshua, We know you will leave us. Who will be our leader?
Yeshua said to them, Wherever you are, seek out Yaakov the Just. For his sake heaven and earth came into being.
12. The Disciples said to Jesus: We know that you will go away from us. Who is it that will be our teacher?
Jesus said to them: Wherever you are, you will go to James the Righteous, for whose sake Heaven and Earth were made (came into being.)
For Whose Sake Heaven and Earth Came Into Being, an Old Hebrew Axiom of Wisdom Explained
"Whenever feeling downcast, each person should vitally remember, 'For my sake, the entire world was created.'" (Baal Shem Tov)
The Baal Shem Tov is sort of the "Rumi" or "Kabir" of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), an example of a towering figure and great mystic of one of the great schools of spirituality. The ending part, "For my sake, the entire world was created", is a variation of an ancient axiom of wisdom. A version of it even turns up in saying twelve of the Gospel of THOMAS: "The students said to Yeshua, 'We know you will leave us. Who will be our leader?' Yeshua said to them, 'Wherever you are, seek out Yaakov the Just [James the Just]. For his sake heaven and earth came into being.'"
Martin Buber elaborates and expands on this axiom in a way that includes us all: “Every person should know and consider the fact that you, in the particular way that you are made, are unique in the world, and no one like you has ever been. For if someone like you had already been, there would be no reason for you to be in this world.” (Ten Rings: Hasidic Sayings, Martin Buber)
Here's a big picture view from the Sikh scriptures of India, the Adi Granth, Peace Lagoon translation: "It was for the sake of the God-conscious beings that our True Lord created this earth, and began this play of death and birth".

To My Body
Holy ash, animate dust
Stunted conductor, moonstruck cache
I smell the winter in your nose,
carry you from my bed,
scan the grass with your feet.
With your mouth I taste filth.
Your nerves keep me safe
and keep me awake.
You are channel
and dam.
You show me cliffs
and hang me from them.
The conception
that splits.
The growth
and growths.
You warm
and burn.
You sprint, sway, float
break, infect, sprain.
You play, write, know,
block, stop, detain.
Another day.
Senses seen.
More skin to shed;
body to be.
By Rachel Parsons, Fratres Dei Spiritual Direction
