the new ride kamens character is jo, and he's... blood stark and night rogue? he's got the blood stark visor and color, but he's got bat wings which is definitely night rogue, not what i would've expected, i would've thought we'd get evol and kr rogue first as separate characters, but hey, dan kuroto and blood stark are some of my top faves of all time villains, so i'm not complaining

heck YES look at this steam-powered and yet somehow cyberpunky batman. he's awesome! 🦇 and honestly given that the popular guess for him was Night Rogue, I think it's pretty funny that he ended up being (mostly) the other Faust guy (I admit I usually associate him with the Evol form and...kind of forgot about Blood Stalk a little bit. :')

augh I am so BEHIND on drawing the Wisdom Thinks guys, hold on let me fix this

also I really hope they get way into the nitty-gritty of them running the lounge. nothing is funnier to me than Dramatic Action Superheroes having to take time out of their day to balance their business ledger and figure out the employee rotation for the week and stress about scheduling their upcoming food safety inspection. it's great.

if yord had lived he'd be leading the hunt for qimir and osha and we would've gotten the most delicious tension between him and qimir. qimir would start out frustrated that yord got away, intent on finishing what he started. and yord, once hunted, now hunter, once an exemplary jedi, and now solely focused on revenge disguised as righteous justice (which it is also a bit of that). and qimir starts to enjoy the game, the chase. and in this timeline, sol still dies, osha still goes with qimir, but yord was unconscious, recovering in a bacta tank, so all he knows when he wakes up is that qimir is out there and took osha, his friend, away. so then you also have the tension of that confrontation, the realization that osha has willingly turned, and that maybe yord can't blame her for that, because what has he been doing these past many months, years, maybe, but give in to the selfish desire to finish what he started too?

Jane Doe / Penny Lamb's themes of identity are so interesting to me. like. who you were before has been crushed, and is dead and buried. You're everything and nothing at the same time. Lost in the dark after being thrown in there without a guiding hand. You never had a life to remember.

Yet, that former identity is still truly alive. Clawing it's way out from inside your chest. You are still you. You and that former identity remain as the same beating heart. Just torn out and buried somewhere you can't find it just yet.

It's your choice to dig up that heart, put it back inside you, and get closure. It's your choice to develop a new heart, and create a new sense of self.

Why be left in death when you can rise from the ashes and start anew?

Ezra Lamb also has some interesting themes of identity & how you view life as a whole as well! Like.

You live. You die. That's it, right? No purpose to it, no meaning. Like a puppet show played over and over until the performers finally get tired of it. So, the best option is to just. Live as yourself. The universe is indifferent to how you are, so why worry about what you need to be? Just be what you want to be.

There's an pessimistic side to it, just as there is a more hopeful, optimistic side. If you have no purpose or meaning, why not make your own? The "universe" or "higher ups" can't do shit about it. Who cares who or what you are? Enjoy the life you have while it lasts. Everyone's in the dark, right? It's your choice on what you do with your life while you have it.

If you're nothing, then make yourself into something.

Why be left in a life with no meaning when you can create your own meaning?

Do I realize the Lambs may or may not be narrative foils? Yeah. Am I insane about it? Yeah. I'm not normal about their contrasting themes of existential & nihilism (of many forms), along with some themes of rememberance & identity. I might be reaching a LOT with this but chat please hear me out

I love analyzing shit until it's literal atoms and adding more characterization to characters if you can't tell. It will happen again

i'm binging disenchantment

I was thinking that Jing Yuan actually does see Yanqing as something akin to a son, but most of the time treats him as his disciple and a member of the cloud-knights; he admires his tenacity and wants to protect part of his innocence, he did seem to raise him and is so similar to his younger self, but it also comes with an arrogance unbeffiting of a soldier that needs to be straightened out, something that must happen to everyone. Plus, there's something he needs Yanqing to do for him when the time comes, even if he still can't let the kid walk completely alone.

On the other hand, Yanqing doesn't necessarily see him as a father figure (most of the time), more like a mentor and benefactor who inspires respect and some affection, his feelings on the matter could be less complex, but there's always doubt and rumors around Jing Yuan (still glad the common folk can talk so freely about him). For what plot would the general need some kid prodigy who came from thin air?

Happy Valentine's Day folks!

I have no IRL partner but I play otomes. So here's a tier list of the many fictional men I'm familiar with~!

(If you love any of these characters and disagree with my placement of them, please remember that this is all my opinion.)

Do you want a dragon age x fnaf crossover au? TOO BAD HERE IT IS

This is so ultra specific and catered to me like NO ONE asked for this I am the only one in the world who's obsessed with them lol. This came about because I was fixating on Sun and Moon while waiting for Veilguard to come out lol

If you don't know, dragon age abominations are when a spirit/demon is possessing a mortal! In this case, Sun and Moon are a spirit/elf combo and have been that since the body was an infant. They've shared a mind and body so long, with memories largely shared, that they aren't actually sure which of them is the spirit. At this point after so long together they're both pretty much half spirit half mortal (Both their eyes get glowy with extreme emotion instead of just one of them, for instance)

I'm having a lot of fun thinking about them and how they work and what they do in Thedas! I'm playing with the idea of adding the glamrocks into this world too. I have so many little tidbits and ideas so if you're interested ask :D
