I want a lover who will stalk my tumblr reblogs so they know exactly what dirty fantasies possess this fucked up brain.

Playing around with something a bit more fanciful with this painting. The inspiration came from thinking about how cute it would be if there were tiny horses roaming wild.

Being in the little fantasy world you created in your head is so comforting. Like no drama nothing, just you and your scenarios living peacefully.

sarah j maas is overall a bad human being consistently acting in ways that negatively impacts minorities and justifying her actions by ways of ‘ignorance’

ACOTAR is not this ‘great’ series of novels that will change the world, most of the content is plagiarized and the most complex of characters are written very surface level.

it is very obvious the books are written from a white woman’s perspective, and is arguably comparable to the writing and idealism of colleen hoover and the author of haunting adeline.

ACOTAR fans cannot sit back and defend this book when they realize how hypocritical and colonialist all of the novels are. the villianisation of tamlin, yet the glorification of rhysand is arguably one of the worst things to come out of the books, similarly with everyone’s excuse that what feyre did in the spring court was ‘excusable’ because tamlin ‘abused’ her.

read the last two posts i reblogged and any of the lovely @sonics-atelier ‘s posts on the critique of the acotar universe before you argue with me. their points are so valid and concise that i was unaware of some of the arguments and criticisms they had delved into.

they are eye opening and so very relevant to current affairs today. i beg if even one or two of you go to read some of these critiques, it would open up discussions about how problematic not only sarah j maas is, but white feminism as a whole, capitalism and colonialism too.

white female authors need to be held accountable to do better, especially those that have big audiences like sarah j maas, colleen hoover and the author of haunting adeline and similar ‘dark’ romance booktok books.

Marauders in D&D

the beginnings of what could be a larger story. Their character builds are specified in an earlier post of mine. Enjoy!!

Their story would start, like all good ones do, in a tavern. A man standing on a table, dressed in shades of black and smiling at the world before him like it was an audience to his greatness. 

“Sirius get off the table please,” a man with sandy brown hair spoke from behind the bar, flicking his wrist to conjure a chair beneath the man which floated down to the ground with its ward sitting in it. 

“Remus you’re no fun,” Sirius pouted, crossing his arms in a childish pout. He had the look of a typical adventurer, long hair pulled back, belts of knives casually draped across his chest, and casual power radiating from him.

“I rather think Remus doesn’t want you kicked out of his fine establishment.” Another man joined the fray, a bespectacled one with both a demeanor and hair that dared you to try and tame it. He wore his power quite a bit less overtly than his friend, but the beautifully crafted sword strapped across his back was plenty enough to suggest it. 

“James, you will not get free ale for being nice to me.”

James shrugged. “Worth a shot.” 

Their conversation was cut short but the tavern door bursting open, letting in a few errant drops of the torrential downpour outside. Another man, dull blonde hair, portly build, and soot stained face, joined the fray. Panting as if he ran a very long way, he said, “I have news.” 

A room full of raised eyebrows turned on the artificer before Sirius spoke. “Well spit it out, Wormtail.” 

Still panting, Peter tripped over his words. “Rumor has it that there is a prize— the king of Hogwarts has set a prize for the adventuring party who can solve and complete a set of tasks first.”

For a beat, there was silence in the tavern. That was until the adventurers regained their wits and the room erupted in raucous discussion. The four young men in particular, seemed passionately discussing how they would execute this task that was obviously made for them. 

Obviously. 

But, from down the bar, a red haired woman watched all of this. Next to her, sat a woman with long braids twirling a knife between two fingers. “What'd you think, Lil? There’s a game afoot. You wanna play?”

CONTENT WARNING: implications of death and self-sacrifice (especially relating to death)

“Nice to meet you, I’m ___.”

ZENEBE

“Pleasure to meet you. You may call me Zenebe.”

(*grinning; if trying to appease himself to the person, would give a bow... which he doesn't break eye contact for*)

“May our acquaintance be long and mutually beneficial.” 😉

MITZIE

“... Mitzie.”

(*looks away*)

“Don’t expect me to remember yours.”

COCO

“Hello! Coco, nice to meet you! I hope we can be great friends!”

LIONEL

“Oh, uh… Lionel here. Yeah, yeah—Lionel. Because I’m basically a lion. Hardy-har-har.”

(*ears lay flat back as he snarls, showing off his fangs*)

“So original. I’ve never heard that joke before.”

DEIRDRE

“... Deirdre. It’s nice to meet you…”

LOUHI

(*bows head in a polite nod; offers a soft smile*)

“Louhi… nice to meet you, {Name}.”

ALCYONE

(*avoiding the gaze of the person; voice barely a whisper*)

“... Alcyone…”

MEADOW

(*curtsies, smiling*)

“Nice to meet you! You may call me Meadow!”

if with Alcyone:

(*bows her head politely and smiles, but holding Alcyone’s hand… and standing halfway between the person and Alcyone, like she’s shielding her from them.*)

“Nice to meet you! Meadow here, and this—”

(*gestures with her free hand toward Alcyone*)

“—is Alcyone. Sorry! We’ve really got to get going, haha.”

“You trust me?”

ZENEBE

“You… ha…”

(*awkwardly rubs the back of his neck and looks anywhere but at them*)

“... I don’t know how good of a decision that is. You should really work on your sense of judgement.”

(*awkward grin! Quickly changes the subject—*)

MITZIE

(*freezes*)

“... I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but don’t bother. Mind your own business and take care of yourself—and I’ll do the same.”

COCO

if she didn’t know/believe it before:

“Oh, um… I wasn’t expecting that… but…”

(*shakes her head rapidly, then nods stubbornly*)

“Of course! I got this!”

(*soft smile… whether she believes them or not.*)

if she knew/believed it was obvious:

(smiles weakly) “Of course. Don’t worry… I got this.”

LIONEL

“Oh! Um…”

(*awkward shuffle and fidgeting, can’t meet the eyes of the person*)

“Thanks, but… I don’t know if I’m as capable as you think I am…”

DEIRDRE

(*avoiding eye contact*) “I’ll… try my best to earn your confidence in me…”

LOUHI

(if known/expected)

“Mmm… why are you telling me that?”

(if surprising/new to them)

(*pauses, taken off-guard… but gives a gentle smile, whether they believe it or not*)

“Well, now I have to succeed, don’t I?”

ALCYONE

(*freezes… then tears up, pain written across her face. Voice breaking:*)

“I… don’t deserve your trust.”

MEADOW

(*puts on a sad smile*) “Then I’ll do my best to justify it.”

“I trust you.”

ZENEBE

“Listen, I—...”

(*can’t make eye contact*)

“... I don’t know how good of a decision this is, but I trust you. Whatever you need… I can help. Just tell me what you need me to do.”

alternatively:

(*smirks, giving a deep, sarcastic bow*)

“I’m your sword. Wherever you need me, I’ll be there. Just give me the order and I’ll carry it out to the best of my ability.” 😉

MITZIE

if recent/new connection:

“I… if you say you’ve got this, I’ll take your word for it… but, please. Don’t push yourself too hard… or get cocky. Cockiness gets you killed.”

if long-standing:

(*silently sits down with the person to read… and might lean into them*)

COCO

(*sits down beside/moves to hug the person*) “Of course; I trust you. You can do this!!”

LIONEL

if hesitant; likely in a situation where he's "abandoning" them to fend for themself... even though he doesn't want to:

“I… believe you. No—you got this! You don’t have to reassure me!”

in a similar situation, but confident in their abilities:

(*lifts them up with both of his right arms, placing them on his shoulder*)

“YEAH! You got this!!! LET’S GO {NAME}!!!”

(*parades them about while hyping them up and pumping his fists on his opposite side*)

DEIRDRE

(*very purposely maintaining eye contact, gives a soft smile and puts her hand on their shoulder*)

“You got this. Let’s go.”

LOUHI

(*brushes their hair from their eyes to meet their eyes with a more serious—but calm as ever—look*)

"I believe in you, {Name}. But... is there anything I can do to lighten your load?"

ALCYONE

(*tightly hugging herself… and fingers white from how tightly she’s gripping her own arms*)

“... okay. If you insist…”

MEADOW

(*meeting their eyes with a serious look*)

“If you say you got this, I’ll take your word for it… but, please. Don’t take on too much weight. If you need help, I can help. Just say the word, and I’ll be there for you.”

“Everything’s falling apart, everything’s going wrong”

ZENEBE

“Haaaa….”

(*leans back and runs hands over his hair stressfully, trying not to explode… but radiating heat and leaking steam*)

“Okay, okay, great. Fantastic! Fan-fucking-tastic!”

(*Stands up straight to grin darkly… but glaring everywhere he looks and still leaking steam*)

“Let’s get this over with.”

MITZIE

(*silent, internal screaming… scanning her surroundings and running through plans and possibilities in her head as she frantically tries to find a winning scenario.*)

if verbal:

(*voice uneven*) “I… don’t know if we can get out of this. I’m sorry…”

COCO

(*INTERNAL SCREAMING*)

“GUYS, WHAT DO I DO!? I DON’T KNOW—”

LIONEL

(*eyes wide and face drained of blood… though it’s not visible through his fur*)

“Ohhhh, Mulul… ohhhh no… oh, Existences—”

(*panicking, paces with his head down, in his hands, and petting his own mane to try to calm down*)

DEIRDRE

(*dark, bitter smile*)

“... I was wondering when everything would finally fall apart.”

LOUHI

(*accepting of their fate... but analyzing the situation to try to find ways to help everyone else escape. Aka... sacrificing themself to save others.)

ALCYONE

(*blank staring and silently crying… at most, will do her best to help others escape with their lives. Has already accepted it’s the end for herself.*)

MEADOW

(*internally panicking, but taking in everything around her and trying to come up with a plan to get everyone out safely*)

if verbal:

(*voice slightly uneven, but faking a smile… poorly.*)

“We got this. Just… take a deep breath and focus. {‘Calmly’ gives instructions on how to proceed}.”

“I got this.”

ZENEBE

if faking confidence:

(*cracks knuckles and pops neck, walking forward menacingly/with a cocky smirk*) “No problem.”

if being genuine:

(*cracks knuckles, but serious and clearly alert*)

“No problem; consider it done.”

MITZIE

(*even, empty stare*)

“Of course. Is that all?”

COCO

“Yeah! No problem!”

(*hugs!!!*)

LIONEL

if faking; more likely than alternative:

(*weak smile*) “Yeah! Don’t worry about me, I got this!”

if genuine, or more confident in his success:

(*grins and flexes his arms*)

“Oh, yeah, I can take care of that, no problem!”

(*winks like the goofy lion he is*)

DEIRDRE

(*takes in a slow, deep breath, quickly tying her hair back*)

“Alright. Let me take care of this.”

LOUHI

"Hmm..."

(*pushes their sleeves up and steps in front of the other person / blocks them from proceeding... so Louhi can do it instead.*)

"No. Let me handle this."

ALCYONE

(*takes a slow, deep breath, standing up straight and making herself look as confident as possible. Quickly creates barriers of light to block people from stopping her, and will write any communication in the air with light rather than speaking... like she does half the time, anyways.*)

MEADOW

if in a moment of danger:

(*stands up straight, puts herself between the danger and whoever she’s protecting, and bursts a wall of earth and/or plants behind her to further block them off. Glaring at the threat.*)

“Let me take care of this.”

if otherwise:

(*smiles slightly*)

“Don’t worry about me—I can take care of that.”

WOOOOO, the Mulul avatars definitely don't have a boatload of issues each! Nothing to worry about at all!

It's almost like, as I've (probably) said before, life as an avatar is both incredibly dangerous and extremely repressive... yknow... because you've sold your soul to a god that wants nothing more than to use you.

Aaaanyway, I thought these were good ways of showing these guys' general personalities! And, I'm ngl, I'm surprised by how diversely they all react to things, haha.

Who's your favorite of the bunch so far?

And want to guess who mine is? 😉
