So for anyone genuinely following me for Guns for Hire stuff (which, btw, love you /p) I want to briefly explain some stuff I talked about and explained but not really in detail: Corruption.

So in the context of the story, Corruption is the most common name for what happens after someone consumes too much Dragon's Breath. It's slow acting and Corruption only spreads when they drink Dragon's Breath. It spreads faster if the person who's drinking Dragon's Breath is injured, dying, or ill, as their system is much more vulnerable to the potion. The potion, depending on the amount consumed or the intensity of it, can turn someone into what is known as an Ender; a giant black and purple beast that can teleport and read minds, while also being extremely strong, but they're also vulnerable to water. No one in Guns for Hire really knows about the mind reading stuff except for a few characters, namely Xornoth, Orion, Sausage, fWhip, Pearl and a few other characters that haven't been mentioned much. Obviously Xornoth turned because he had been consuming it to stop the spread of the Wither and this is why Sausage and Solidarity wanted it as well. If Sausage hadn't been cured by The Watchers and if Solidarity hadn't been brought back to life by Pearl, they would have still been suffering from the effects of the potion. Pixl, the way I see it, had consumed one of the biggest doses of Dragon's Breath, plus he was already pretty hurt. His body reacted strongly but even the potion wasn't enough to save him because of how early in the testing phase it was.

Enders are basically seen as a sort of creature in The Undercity. A sort of pest people just try and avoid because Enders don't normally attack unless provoked. While much isn't know to people who aren't Enders, it all starts making sense once you are one.

One of the ideas I had was to explore what happens with Oli in an unreleased but planned sequel (I ended up just loosing motivation on it, plus there were so many parts to it I'd have to write, it just felt very overwhelming lol I will be happy to answer some questions on it tho :D), as his role is very tied to the role of Enders. Essentially, as he was looking for Joel in the Undercity, he would have been kidnapped and experimented on, and would have turned into a combination of an Ender and a Human. He would have the abilities and characteristics of an Ender, while still maintaining a semi-human form, having more metal control over himself than an actual Ender. It was a pretty interesting concept that I might talk about later, but you would have found out that Enders can communicate with someone known to them as "The Orb" which claimed to be a God of this world and Enders had ascended high enough to speak with them. The big twist would have been the voice was actually a Watcher.

So yeah! Corruption is caused by Dragon's Breath, but can take years to actually fully turn someone into an Ender and Enders are connected to the Watchers. I'm tempted to write Oli's point of view, because it's such an interesting storyline and it would have explored a bit of what happened after the end but idk. Maybe one day

Some pictures of Xornoth and Oli! Just so you get a feel of what Corruption actually does to someone :))

Being someone who read Under The Red Hood and came out with the firm belief that, for Jason, it's not about killing Joker, it's about Jason wanting proof Batman would choose him over the Joker (bc shelia chose the joker). Makes seeing any other media where it's all about just wanting the Joker dead is a teeny bit frustrating. to be honest

Jason could've killed the Joker himself, really, really easily. Jason kidnaps the Joker before the confrontation. I can't open my comic for a reference right now, but it felt like he had the Joker for quite a bit before the confrontation. He had him. He beat him up with a crowbar. He had every single opportunity to kill the Joker himself, but he didn't because that wasn't his goal. Make no mistake, he did plan for the Joker to be dead by the end of it, but do you see what im trying to say here

Edit: If I knew this post was gonna get 1000+ notes I would've tried to word it better or something, this was a rant I made on the way to the grocery store 😭

It's not about making Batman kill either. When Batman says he won't kill, Jason adjusts and goes, 'Let ME kill the Joker or kill me to stop me' instead. The test is all about Batman choosing him. The whole final confrontation is Jason's first death again. The parent, The Joker, and the explosives. It even ends with Jason unable to move as a bomb goes off right next to him again because the parent didn't choose Jason. And instead tried finding an option that'd benefit them and (consequencely) letting the Joker walk, again, lol, lmao <-in agony

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

idk, i just feel like if your primary argument against transandrophobia/antitransmasculinity theory is that you think it's transmisogynistic you're not being intellectually honest. who does it hurt when trans men and mascs coin a term to describe the intersection of transphobia and sexism as it most frequently affects them? because it does hurt trans men when they're told that they're not entitled to speak on the discrimination they themselves face.

what I'm hearing from people who oppose the antitransmasculinity movement is that transmisogyny is when trans men talk about their problems 👍, but obviously that's not true. i know that's not true. you know that's not true. so then what is the issue? genuinely, enlighten me. you want trans men to shut up and listen? I'm listening.

i thought it would be fun to design regional grey warden armors, so here's my rook modeling them... she moved around so much because she never got along with her superiors

So. Typhus and I have failed in our mission to get him into everyone's bedrolls. Turns out that traumatized vampire got hands. We didn't have the heart to break up with Astarion, and I think we're DnD married now. Please keep us in your prayers.
