our flag means death teaser just dropped. they really did that. i will be screaming and crying for the rest of eternity

i haven't been feeling very well recently so i haven't gotten around to fanart yet, but i absolutely will as soon as i can!!

i have never been this excited about a second season of a show !!!!! it's kind of wild to me that it's a real thing that exists. so many cancelled shows have made me less optimistic for renewals, but it's incredible that this story is really going to continue !! the first season didn't really get any advertisement at all, it was all just by queer word of mouth. and i think that's lovely !! it just shows what we can make happen when we band together :] (it'd be even better if hbo max paid their writers and actors fair living wages though,, just saying,,) i can't wait to watch this silly pirate show and for online to be like march of last year again !! october 5th we're so back !! we're all in the brainrot again folks

will be yelling about the teaser in the tags just in case anyone who comes across this hasn't seen it yet, and if you haven't, go watch it !!

Flowey’s so funny and has me so fucked up like he’s a talking flower. He tries to kill you upon your first interaction. He is ten years old. He is damaged beyond repair. He’s a flower named Flowey. He’s become friends with every single character. He’s killed all of them countless times. He knows everything about everyone. He doesn’t care anymore. He takes care of his mom when she can’t take care of herself. He’s killed her before. He doesn’t care if you kill her. He thinks she’s trying to replace him. He just wants to be himself again. He wants to destroy everything. He hates you. You’re the only one who understands him. He wants his best friend back. He’s terrified of them. He believes in kill or be killed because he died by giving mercy to the wrong person. He believes himself to be the wrong person. He doesn’t understand when you show him that kindness he showed others, even when you know he could kill you for it. He’s tried every route. He asks you if you have anything better to do when you try to do the same. He’s a direct reflection of the player. He’s a fucking talking flower named flowey and his only voice line is by Ronald McDonald and his officially licensed plush does a little dance for you

this is what these two are like to me

gonna stream of consciousness discuss Lucanis, Spite, their relationship, and the control they have over each other

This started as me wondering just how their communication works, because sometimes Spite chimes in with a thought or feeling from Lucanis that he doesn't voice. Yet the vast majority of their interactions are verbal on Lucanis' end. Spite also operates mostly on the basis of "if Lucanis or one of the party members doesn't explain something, then I won't be able to understand" which is one of the popular reasons for his many tantrums. So it seems like Spite can only comb through Lucanis' mind so well. Is it because they've been at odds for a year? Is it possible for them to reach a level of harmony where they can converse solely in the mental? Is there a point where Spite can sift through Lucanis' memories and knowledge without needing the man to audibly tell him anything?

I think Lucanis doesn't realize just how much he controls Spite's environment and abilities. When Spite asks for your help in Inner Demons and pulls you into their mind palace, he's locked out of the inner chamber. He can't get past the many guardians Lucanis has put up to reason and guilt himself into isolation. He needs Rook to make any progress towards his host. Lucanis wants to distance himself so much from Spite, he has recreated their prison and then locks Spite out into the farthest reaches of it.

Imagine being ripped from your home and shoved into another person, to go from a life of fluid freedom to a small vessel of unyielding flesh. Imagine that, at the very least, you are not alone in this agony. In the Ossuary, the real one, Spite and Lucanis always had each other. They hated everything about it. But they were never alone. They came to an understanding. They are as much kindred souls as they can be given their twisted creation. There is a comfort to be found in that.

Instead, Lucanis has trapped himself in the very room where they likely were forced together. Where Zara likely tortured him most. He picked the room holding the worst memories and the sharpest pain, and he forced Spite out of it. Lucanis has decided to hold a knife by the blade in a white knuckled grip and pushed away the one being who knows that pain intimately. And it feels like a betrayal. They experienced horrible things in that room, together. They survived the ordeals, together. They found reason to cling to themselves, the determination to live, together. And at the end, Lucanis chooses to be alone. Because it's easier to think he deserved it all if Spite isn't there to save him from himself again.

But they escaped the real prison! They're finally free. Spite can finally experience all the happier memories and thoughts Lucanis held onto, see the world he's now trapped in, because not once does Spite think to kill his host. Not once does Spite try to walk him off a cliff, use any number of sharp knives or vicious poisons a Crow carries, never tries to talk him into death. He wants out. He wants to be free, but he knows that it would come with a price. So instead, he settles for living. That's why he's furious at Lucanis for locking them both up in a pantry, for keeping himself tucked away from the others, for refusing to even acknowledge the torture he is subjecting them both to.

I can only imagine how infuriating it must be for Spite. He's thrust into the physical world where nothing makes sense to him. He's trapped in a man who would rather carry their prison with him forever than try to find a way to live, changed as he is. He's not even allowed to cling to the one bastion of comfort in this new, gently hellish existence because the would-be friend has locked him out. And to top it off, their new home is a bubble inside his home. Lucanis is staying in the Fade, and Spite isn't allowed to exist there. Imagine being in a cage where your home is just outside the cell. You can see it, smell it, hear it, but you can't even so much as poke a finger through the bars. I would have started biting people.

The two times we see Spite take over in the Lighthouse, he isn't reveling in this touch of home. He isn't seen trying to walk them into the welcoming abyss to drift forever in the Fade. He's trying to reach the Eluvian. People have theorized that Spite was trying to take Lucanis back to Treviso. To take him home, to his family, to get help. Spite wants out, but more than that, he wants Lucanis to start living. When Rook starts getting through to the assassin, when he starts opening up and engaging with the group, Spite lashes out less. He earnestly tries to talk with the party at times. He expresses more curiosity than animosity to them.

I can only imagine Spite's frustration as Lucanis insists on holding onto their prison given how much better things are with the Veilguard. How bitter it must be to have thrown himself at every door in the ghost of that cage for naught, just to watch Rook breeze through it. How gutting it must have felt to finally reach Lucanis and he's chosen the place that hurt them the most. And he has chosen to live in it alone.

I think Lucanis never truly realizes the extent to which Spite cares. The tragedy of their existence isn't solely a spirit trapped in a man, it's two kindred souls who experienced the worst, but always had each other. It's one rejecting the other despite the shared trauma. They should have been happier, more at peace, after the escape, but Spite was never allowed to properly leave because Lucanis dragged that place into them. He spent a year trying to survive hell, then left Spite thrashing at the walls of it. And he wonders why the demon is screaming.

so this poll has most certainly been done already but uhh

[grimst4rs]

sirius black headcanons because i am having intense brainrot over him

after he ran away from home, he fooled around with a muggle london boy. with his help, he got his first job (either a bartender or a mechanic, i’m not sure)

has a thing for men with light-coloured hair

pretty intimidating

effortlessly the top of the class, he never studies but always gets the best grades. has both great short-term and long-term memory, lily is absolutely jealous of him for that

is actually pretty good with kids, but he’s a bit scared of them and of the possibility that he might hurt them

has an abnormally high pain tolerance

and a high alcohol tolerance, too. it does take him a while to get drunk, but when he does, he’s absolutely hammered, and has the worst hangovers in the world

gave himself piercings and tattoos with needles in the dorm’s bathroom

has absolutely no sense of shame

his love language (receiving) is physical affection, but he was slightly averse to being touched at first

never wears his uniform properly, the neatest he will ever look is have his tie loosened

had a pretty good relationship with walburga as a child. he was definitely his mother’s son through and through, they looked and acted alike, too. walburga was devastated when sirius ran away

chainsmoker, and his fingers always smell like cigarettes

manspreads (remus finds that hot)

tall

[its-xiu-ya-time]

i personally think that the more binghe finds out about shen jiu the angrier he would get

liu qingge, the man you constantly hurled death threats at. the man you hated so much for years upon years, the man you constantly fought with. you didn't kill him; you tried to save him. you tried to save him when he was dying.

and yet you didn't hesitate to send an innocent child, your own disciple, to his death?

a young master from a wealthy family sneering at others in disgust and abusing his position of power as he pleases? that makes sense. a poor and hungry child slave who crawled his way up to the position he was now? who was abused and beaten on by a rich young master himself?

and yet you didn't hesitate to beat an innocent child, your own disciple, the same way you were once beaten?

to quote my friend when i was talking about this earlier: "how dare you be a good person. you ruined my life."

they're so fascinating to me (spoken like i'm looking at two lab rats in a cage)

[dootznbootz]

I think some folks MAY have gotten the wrong idea about how I feel about Circe with some of my posts. So, to clear the air...

Homies, I love that fucked up sorceress.

I love how we're never given a reason why she turns people into animals. That's so funny and so awful. And another potion-making magic gal?!?! I love that she's just basically vibing on an island doing whatever she wants. I even love the fact that she scares Odysseus shitless! She's morally gray and that's why she's FUN.

I just sincerely hate when people try to girlboss her or have her be a victim of SA when she never was Looking at you, Miller. Especially when she was actually the one who coerced Odysseus in exchange for his men being transformed back into humans. And even then, while he was clearly afraid of her, (it's in the language of the Odyssey) she likely meant him no harm after a certain point. He just didn't know that.

Why does she need a reason to do awful things? Why can't she just be a goddess who does whatever she wants? That's the reason why I love her!!! She's fucked up!!! :D

I hate what the Telegony did to her as well! >:( You're telling me, this sorceress goddess, who makes potions (!!!) wouldn't have magic contraceptives??? Would WANT CHILDREN?!?! WITH THE PATHETIC WIFEMAN?! No. Fuck no. Eugammon of Cyrene, I have beef with you 🤬

Anyways!!! Understand all the "#anti circe" I have is simply Anti "Girlboss Circe" or the book. I genuinely think she's neat af as her morally gray, fucked up sorceress self and just get frustrated with...everything :'D

[morporkian-cryptid]

I have just rewatched "The Imperial City Dreams Of Thieves" (yes it's the fourth time. yes I'm aware that I may have a problem.) and it still cracks me up that, not only did Goemon immediately attempt to throw hands when he saw a guy who may or may not be Lupin - dude saw the slightest opportunity to try to skewer his boyfriend without consequences and he very literally JUMPED on it - not only that, but he CONTINUED to try to turn Lupin into human sashimi EVEN AFTER KNOWING THAT LUPIN WAS THE ONLY REAL ONE THERE. Lupin had already mentioned Goemon's missing Zantetsuken and thus proven that he couldn't be part of the computer simulation, and STILL Goemon tried to stab him with a broken sword. He didn't even have any particular beef with Lupin at the moment, Hell! for all we know they were on a romantic robbing-a-secret-lab date when they got yeeted into the simulation. No, he just decided to cut his boyfriend to bits for funsies. This man is completely unhinged, I stan him so hard.

Babygirl there is something deeply wrong with you 💕

You're such a fugitive but you don't know what you're running from / You can't kid us and you couldn't trick anyone

Here's a fanart for the interactive fiction Skin and Scales by @skinandscales-if ! It's my own interpretation of a small moment in the first chapter, moment living rent free in my mind, featuring my mc, Chiara (the girl with purple hair) and Atlas ! It's such a heavy scene and I loved drawing it :D can't wait for chapter 2, give it a read !

[calciumcryptid]

Methas: Did I do something wrong. :(

Me:

Me: Oh no, is this what they meant about a character being their poor little meow meow?

[stone-stars]

god. thiala showing them visions of other groups falling apart as a smug “it never ends well” and instead the boobs going “there was joy there. thank you for showing it to us” is so good.

“the wheel of suffering continues.” “so does the wheel of joy.”

People (me) don't want P5T they want

Does this. Make any sense. Does it describe what i want

Bland Heart

Hoo boy, finally drawing my girl blandified once again. I don’t know what happened in the months that I haven’t drawn her, but she got a whole different personality than I originally intended. She just took on a life of her own for a moment. Whatever blandifying managed to do to her, I am LIVING for the energy.

In my opinion, Goofball Island didn’t have the best execution in terms of storyline for the reveal that the player was actually a villain for a short time since there was no hints about it other than maybe tree guy (please correct me if I’m wrong), but my god is the potential there and I hate how I can see it!

It would have been amazing for there to be hints that the player was a Blandston, like talking to a few of the npcs and they give little hints so that maybe some people can figure it out and others can go back and be like ‘oh that makes sense now.’ Heck, even just having the player wake up from being passed out in the streets. I know they can do it because I’m confident that they did a similar thing for Poptropicon episode 3. Again, correct me if I’m wrong.

Maybe I should make something for my version of the island? I know I’ve got a few posts already that talk about my version, but I want to talk about it some more and show my ideas. I might make a comic for it to show what I’m thinking of and what I mean.

…Don’t hold me to that.

Until then, if it happens, I will continue talking about the island and making my own ideas about it.
