#i painted it and went 'wow'

[egophiliac]

I always though Mal's mom was meant to be like "Eleanor" but they stuck an M at the start honestly, Sobbing Emoji. But "Maleanor" also makes me feel less insane since in that scene where she's just handed egg Malleus to Lilia and went to battle, it sounds more like Lilia is saying "Maleanor" than "Meleanor" (Japanese accent pending). Mayhaps they went more with what it sounded like the characters were saying :0 (we don't talk about Doodle Suit to Paint The Roses)

the transliteration of her name is Marenoa (マレノア), which is what all the voice lines are saying! all the Draconias' names start with マレ (Malleus' grandma is Maleficia/マレフィシア) as a nod to Maleficent. :D it's almost certainly a take on Eleanor, which is Erenoa (エレノア), but her name is written in English at a couple points, and I was pretty surprised to see it was Mel instead of Mal!

and, like, that's fine, it wouldn't be first Twst romanization that's tripped me up (like Keito for Cater, I know that's something to do with the loanword specific to playing cards(?) but it's just not how my brain wants to read it). but now Eng has given us Maleanor! and someone else said it was spelled inconsistently between Maleanor and Maeleanor??????? so WHO KNOWS it's a SPELLING FREE-FOR-ALL

I AM torn on which I want to use, because Mel just sounds so cute to me (and is what I'm used to now), but...the Mal consistency is kinda too good to pass up. alas, alas, truly these are the most difficult conundrums of our times. 😔

[miquella-everywhere]

I 100% refuse to believe that Miquella charmed Mohg into kidnapping him from the Haligtree. It makes absolutely no sense.

Thanks to the DLC the timeline of the kidnapping is completely screwed up but we know that Miquella was there at the Battle of Aeonia for some stupid reason, and when it was over and Malenia bloomed he likely travelled back to the Haligtree along with Finlay and then embedded himself into the Haligtree for a reason that the dlc tossed out the fucking window. (also mal apparently allowed this shit to happen because now she was there when miq got taken, and yet she's still reaching towards miqs spot longingly like he's still there, but only wakes up when our sorry ass shows up like HUNH????)

Also when it comes to Miquella embedding himself into the Haligtree it's evident that he was in there for a while because the Haligtree grew enough to the point that its roots were breaking through walls of Elphael and making several places inaccessible because of them. And the moment that Miquella was ripped from its core that is when the Haligtree stopped growing and began to die.

And now because of this timeline and a complete lack of evidence otherwise; there was absolutely no contact between Miquella and Mohg between that time, and with the way Miqs charm works, it can only be applied if you are in direct contact with Miquella.

And as the DLC spells out Miquella's charm acts as a type of calming spell, it curbs peoples violent intentions and subdues unpleasant memories as seen with Leda and Thiollier. Miquella's charm and intentions are 100% orientated towards keeping peace as much as possible and it is not straight up mind control (at least not until he ascends to godhood possibly but that can be debated)

Now did Miq charm Mohg? Yeah, he did, and it was definitely in self defense as anyone would do with being kidnapped. Mohg was already established as a serial kidnapper and a madman in the base game and his grandeur delusions of having a Dynasty of Blood are all him, and once again, Miquella's charm specifically subdues violent intentions and Miquella himself wants peace and as little conflict as possible. So then going into the Mohgwyn Dynasty and seeing all of the blood swamps, piles of corpses, and even his own nobles hanging from pikes, these are all 100% Mohg being a freaky dude. And honestly without Miquella's charm in place, Mohg would have been 100% worse.

And once more, it makes absolutely no goddamn sense that Miquella wanted to be kidnapped. Because why. Why why why on earth would Miquella put so much effort into growing the Haligtree with his own blood, embedding himself into it, just to want to get kidnapped. It makes no sense. If Miquella truly needed Mohg to get to the RoS(and even then that plot point isn't even explained how tf thats possible) why the hell did he even bother with embedding himself into the Haligtree to begin with?

This writing makes absolutely no fucking sense. 😔😔😔😔

OC-tober Day 4: Under Appreciated OC

Out of my Core OC's I feel like enthusiasm for Red could ALWAYS be higher! Especially since he gets to star in a stop motion film in a one man show! These are from our most recent shoot. Camera wrangler @eeveefreshstudioz, assistance from @geneer-gebubu

oc brainrot so bad it has me writing 1300 word fic and spending two full days on an almost full body fully shaded with background alphonse mucha study and i've never even posted anything about these guys here ever

[blinkees]

do you think you could make me a standard sized blinkie based off my favorite painting by Heinrich Lossow from 1880, the sin? just with the nuns face area on the blinkie, with text that says The Sin, would be good! before you look the painting up, it is nsfw but theres no naked bodies or anything shown! please ignore this request if you aren't comfortable with it :)!

[housederiva]

You work in entertainment don't you? Got anything about Veilguard that the rest of us don't know? 👀👀👀

Ah dear listener how keen of you to remember that fun fact about me! But I work in tv/film not video games so unfortunately, I got nothin'

[raininyourblackeyes]

My cousin, a published writer, a well-known poet in my country and a literature professor, for whom I've always been no.1 support ever since her first attempts at writing in high school, told me that I must stop writing as a hobby because that's her thing and since I'm writing fantasy mostly my writing could never have any important artistic value anyways.

[colorful-bees]

You've both lost someone.

This is finally done! I was really trying something new with this style. This is for a fic of mine, Gone Missing (for a scene that has yet to be written about lol). Both Barry and Emmet are really going through it. Both their hair has grown out, Emmet's wearing one of Ingo's shirts. They're both just kind of a mess right now. Sometimes, you just have to cry on the couch of a guy who knows exactly what you're going through while ignoring the TV playing. It happens.

[possum-quesadilla]

I just saw Longlegs twice in 24 hours. Am crocheting a sandworm. Received my MatPat retirement figurine in the mail today. Staring longingly at my framed mini painting of Venom.

I think there may be things wrong with me aside from The Obvious

[forcedhesitation]

man I was hoping oskar would actually paint whatever person spoke to him....not only your tav. it literally just takes your tav's party icon anyway... don't see why it couldn't do that for everyone else too. and surely the origins have voicelines for when they receive the painting themselves....I wanted to have him paint astarion and then commission a statue of wyll from the sculptor in the circus....so they'd both have art dedicated to them :(

nevertheless. there is one benefit to this. you can approach oskar with every person in your party and farm free duplicate paintings off of him to sell for money 👍
