honestly i am not a fan of how this drawing turned out BUT i did invest some time into it so i would be amiss not to post it for posterity if nothing else.
context:
so, i spent a long time ruminating on what to do with the league of assassins in my au. obviously, a lot of the canon material concerning it is staggeringly racist, not to mention just kind of stupid overall, so i knew that i wanted most of it to go out the window off the bat. at the same time there were certain aspects of it that i knew i wanted to retain - the immortality, the lazarus pits, talia's original antihero stuff, damian being a weird little knife child, etc - so eventually i decided that the "league of assassins" as it were doesn't really exist; ra's has simply operated im plain view for long enough that people who were paying enough attention went "hey, what the hell, he has a guy lined up for everything, surely he's running some kind of secret evil shadow organization?" he's not. he's really not. he's just been alive long enough that he has a lot of personal favors owed to him at this point. his actual "organization" is like, at maximum three people who owe him life debts at any given time. he's also not really evil per say. he's just really weird.
what ra's is actually doing (amidst some good old garden variety ecoterrorism - if ivy can do it so can he, and it was a core aspect of his motivation for several decades) is acting upon the pathological obsession he has with the lazarus pits. the lazarus pits in my au are a mix of the birth of the demon and BTAS lore surrounding them: they are natural deposits that must be manually dug out from underground wellsprings to be used, but they are also deeply connected to earthly magnetism and can be located via complex leylines and other ambiguously supernatural means. ra's, from his first discovery of them, has been dedicated to obsessively cataloguing and "deciphering" what he perceives to be the grand mystery of the natural world we live in, and that once he "solves" it, he can show the truth to others and the planet will be transformed into a paradise. (you may note this is not dissimilar to the riddler's pathos concerning patterns - more on that point later probably). this also has ties to his mortal occupation as a physician. he has a strong lingering investment in finding new ways to cure ills, and sees death as the ultimate ill, and therefore he wants to find a way to universally cure death.
now, a lot of this is directly informed by his backstory from birth of the demon, which happens to also contain the sole appearance of the other character in this image, Huwe (we aren't given another name for him to my memory, so i'm forced to assume that's his only one). huwe was an enemy-turned-ally of ra's who eventually became immortal alongside him up until the mid 1800(???)s, where they had a fight that ended in ra's killing huwe by stabbing him with a fire poker. i thought the dynamic between them was really interesting and underutilized in that comic so i decided to bring it back - it goes pretty differently in my au but i have not worked out the specifics to any degree of clarity yet so i will leave that for another post.
there is also more going on with talia and damian in this au, but this is getting long and they aren't even in this post so ill give the cliffnotes version: talia was raised to be more or less a 'warden' of the lazarus pits and she is immortal like ra's, albeit much younger chronologically. she has a vested desire to lead a "normal" life and live and die as a mortal. after having damian, who is ostensibly supposed to be her successor, she sends him away to live with bruce as a form of achieving her dream vicariously through him - as long as he remains mortal and lives as he wishes to, away from the inherited responsibility of the pits, she can bear the weight of it knowing he's out there somewhere. ra's's side of this is a whole other thing about immortal loneliness and his family being the only ones who he can relate to at all after all that he's done and a weird amount of parallels to the joker of all people but this is getting WAY TOO LONG.
TL;DR ra's (long hair) is a strange immortal doctor and the other guy is huwe, his totally-not-gay-and-also-immortal friend.

The film How Green Was My Valley (1941), set in Wales, is on Film4 today and I was curious enough to go and look up the wikipedia. Here is a film which apparently won FIVE Oscars including Best Picture, beating Citizen Kane. I'm a little bit obsessed with the fact that because of the war they apparently built a set of a Welsh village in the Santa Monica Mountains in California!
I can't help but think that this film is the sort of thing that actual Welsh people might have opinions about, and you may not have time for this ask but I couldn't help but be curious as to whether you have any thoughts you would be willing to share?
I've never seen it! Which is wild, really. Am I right in thinking Richard Burton is in it? If so, it's a rare film about Wales where they actually cast Welsh actors rather than Some Other Goits With Cartoonish Accents.
I have read the book, though. I remember reading it and thinking it was probably a post-Aberfan piece, and then learning it predated Aberfan. I've always found something equal parts unsettling and poignant in that - the danger of the coal tips was haunting us even before it came true. At least in How Green Was My Valley, it didn't kill the children.

No matter how you feel about Just Stop Oil, the fact that the girl on the left is going to jail for two years and Huw Edwards got a six month suspended sentence, is astounding.
So what, we care more about protecting the painting then we do protecting young children from having pornagraphic pictures of themselves circulating online?
Insane.

Elden Ring fan art. A heartbreaking story of friendship between Messmer and Huw... P.S. I want to make something different between Huw and Andreas, so I draw beard for Andreas

no cause the way some people are truly acting like they're being held at gunpoint forced to play the stupid fucking harry potter game...
there are so many actually good games in this world that aren't like, actively contributing to harming minorities in real life. where the fuck is your spine

The most important part of the Elden Ring™ experience is to get deeply emotionally connected to the two-three sentence lore descriptions of a spirit ash that only you care about. They are mentioned no where else in the game but in your mind they might as well be the main character of the story.
