I had no idea you were also a Blackquill stan! Maybe I'm just not in the right spaces but I barely see any Blackquill stans in the AA fandom. He deserves more love :'))

BROOOO I am THEE blackquill stan HSHDHF my crazy for him is without peer😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 deserves his own game FOR SURE

I played dual destinies at like 11-12 and quite literally practiced my art by drawing him obsessively hhhhhhh I love him lots but I don't like interacting with many fandom spaces (it's why I kinda like that mysme fandom is mostly dead 🤭🤭🤭)

AA fandom is a lil too,,,, I guess tropey?? There are a few aspects I like and then like 90% of blackquill posts r just ship stuff that don't interest me at all 😒(I am 2 aroace for da world 🤧🤧🤧)

I think Simon is an incredible character on his own, I don't think tacking on relationships make him more interesting so I don't have much to add to the fandom, which sucks cause I was hoping that the remaster of the Apollo trilogy would create more diversity of blackquill fans,,,,,, oh well

but yeah I should post more of my blackquill art on here,,, I love him lots 💗

when u go to write a mentally ill person in ur story you are presented two options. the first option is to write your mental illness realistically as you actually experience it with all the ups and downs and people who are like you will resonate with it and feel seen. except every person who reads instagram infographics on mental health that uses the phrase narcicisst for anyone who does anything that crosses them and unironically call themself a dark empath will call you scary and tell you that youre demonizing mentally ill people

the second option is to lie and write inspiration porn for those people to get hard to

hello nonhuman ally / young uneducated nonhuman. you have a bomb strapped to your chest. to diffuse it, you must explain why alterhumans are valid without saying any of these phrases

- they still know they're human / it's not like they believe they're physically nonhuman

- well they're not delusional / mentally ill

- it's just a phase, don't bother them / let kids be kids / they're just exploring their identity

- well they're just [insert something that only describes otherpaws / furries]

you have 1 hour.

HAVE YOU SEEN MALLEUS DORM UNIFORM CARD????

I didn't get him. :( ...so I looked up his dorm story and it is incredible, oh my god. if you haven't noticed by now, Malleus doing the absolute stupidest shit with the best intentions is my favorite, and this is pandering directly to that part of me. I can't pick a favorite part.

(wait, actually, yes I can)

Ryuk makes his grand return and is brought up to speed with Light and L's immoral union. The date seems pretty successful~.

Whovians: what's your favorite under-rated, undermentioned and under represented moment from your favorite doctor? The one that's so central to your enjoyment but no one else seems to mention as much? Your doctor who, shall we say- 'roman empire'?

On the idea of “is Paul lying about this being the best path” my interpretation is no, he's not. At the very least not purposefully lying, although it may not be the actual truth. And by that i mean that there's no future where all the Harkonnens die miserable painful deaths and then yippee the Fremen rule Arrakis and Paul is there living happily ever after with Chani, that he sees. but what i do think is true is that the path Paul chooses is the one that allows him to meet all his goals which, in relative order of priority I'll say are:

revenge on the harkonnens

keep the people he loves alive (jessica, chani, alia)

free the fremen from harkonnen control (maybe, if it's convenient or if he has time)

and the really shitty thing about this list is that number three is extremely convenient and helpful for number one but not in a good way and number one is really non-negotiable for him. Like from his perspective he needs revenge against the Harkonnens, that's why he joins the fedaykin because fighting against the Harkonnens like that feels like revenge. But the idea of taking it all the way to the top and getting revenge not just against the Harkonnens but also the emperor for killing his family and the entire imperium for standing by and doing nothing is too tempting for him to ignore. And he caveat on the second point is that the people he loves being happy isn't necessary just that they're alive. (*cough cough* Chani in the movies *cough cough*)

So i think that the future Paul picks, the narrow way through is the one that satisfies all those best and you'll notice that “do right by the oppressed indigenous people” and “don't murder 62 billion people” aren't really on there. not because he doesn't care about those but… he doesn't really in comparison to the aforementioned goals. Post-water of life, he sees "the best path through" where he gets everything he wants and sees the jihad as an acceptable price and reasons it as "inevitable" whether or not it actually was.

all of this means that yeah, to him there very well may only be one way and yeah the one that he chooses is the best one from his perspective even if you've read the books you'll know that he kind of fails at point number two in trying to protect both Chani and Alia.

Lastly, in the later books Leto II talks about the Golden Path and that its the only way to save humanity and blah blah blah. Frank Herbert pretends like he mentioned it in Dune and Dune Messiah but he didn't. Although I do believe he had some ideas about it in Messiah but it wasn't fully formed until Children of Dune. How I always interpreted that in retrospect is that Paul saw the Golden Path but wasn't willing to make the sacrifices necessary (becoming a sentient sandworm god, living for four thousand years, etc. which... fair) and tried to half walk the Golden Path without ever fully committing to it and fucks it up and leaves it to Leto II. All of which to say, the Golden Path isn't a thing in the original book so the "narrow way through" is not the Golden Path because Frank Herbert hadn't made it up yet and its not what I'm talking about.

me standing up, hearing my back pop in three places, and it only then occurring to me for the first time that this may not be the ideal sewing posture.

I just wanted to draw Batgirl Barbara with some Oracle vibes, like an inbetween stage of sorts.
