#in a corruption arc way

[moka-pot-official]

ÉTER who's ur oc Gabriella that you tagged in that post 👀 sorry if you've mentioned them before and I forgottttt (🫶🫶) but I'm curious now so feel free to ramble about this oc hehehehehe 👁️👁️

I have mentioned her but I've never really explained her! 👁️👁️

She's an oc from an old discarded fantasy story, I had trouble forming the worldbuilding and power system so it didn't go very far and are very vague. Resuming them the powers/magic were divided by two different energies, dark and light, most creatures in the kingdom were users of either in different levels. The only almost 'pure' users of dark magic were demons, the 'royals' (the users of almost pure light magic) became afraid of being overpowered by demons so they declared war on them, killed many, casted the rest to hide forever in a mountain hive and deemed every demon and dark magic users evil.

In all of this two humans appear in the kingdom, Olvido and Gabriella and soon discover that they are users of actually pure light and dark magic respectively, Olvido is the protagonist of the story who doesn't remember who she is, and Gabriella is the antagonist.

Gabriella is a lunatic and snappish young woman whose intentions are to take control of the kingdom and release the demons from their hive proclaiming herself their queen. She's a mastermind in what she does tho, taking social power and expanding the assigned demon territories at a rapid rate. She takes special interest in Olvido 👀, seemingly angry at her amnesia. She's always accompanied by her two closest allies, Ciacco the last standing demon in the kingdom and Carja a runaway fairy of laughter. The reasons behind her goals are a mystery to everyone but she'll do anything to achieve them, from conquering town after town to carving her own skin with demonic runes in her proclamation of Queen of Demons

Overall the story was a bit generic and vague that's why I discarded it but I like to come back to it from time to time because I liked the geography of the world and some of the races and characters I made up for it and the dynamics between Olvido and Gabriella and the concepts behind their characters. I'm not sure I'll ever continue it but they're still a recurring daydream!!

Also here is Gabriella

I may just be insane about this but does this feel like foreshadowing to anyone else. In this scene we see her trying to replicate the skill of someone else (her mother) and failing to achieve the same results that they would. That feels really specific and it's driving me insane.

Like, we see this come back again in the aftermath of the trial. Diana has repeatedly voiced her admiration for Wolfgang's ability to speak and inspire those around him in the darkest of times, saying she wished she could do the same. We see her pour her heart out and give her own speech to inspire the others-- except the reaction that she receives is cold and miserable, far from the newly kindled warmth and hope Wolfgang was able to create every time.

Diana is a chameleon. Her whole thing is to reflect, to replicate and to adapt. Do you think that this small scene where she tries to make a butterfly out of her hairclips-- a butterfly, an animal associated with transformation and change-- and the end result looking nothing like what she wanted it to be is a metaphor for her future character arc? She has declared that she wants to follow in Wolfgang's footsteps, wants to become something new, but do you think that by the end she ends up being the furthest thing from him? Do you think that by the end she will be left distorted, fundamentally wrong? Do you think that if she could see what she will become in the future, the only emotion that she can muster is horror as she gazes at a stranger that's supposed to be herself? That by the end, she won't be able to recognise herself, because there's no "her" left anymore?

I've been following you for years, and I love your art. Seeing you repost your older art pieces reminded me how much I loved the angry, bitter, miserable Machete art and how it resonated with me... but a part of me is also so happy to see the current art of him being happy. Cute art of him as a unicorn, or chilling in a bathtub with Vasco. Like, we're all growing and healing :')

Character Analysis : Mammons Court Gallerian Marlon - Sinner of Greed

I am going to analyse the sinners of Evillious Chronicles. And I will start off with Gallerian Marlon, as he is my favorite character and the one I am most familiar with. I shall try to make one of all other characters, though that depends on motivation and if this is something people enjoy. ->Firstly, who is Gallerian? For everyone who does not know. Gallerian Marlon is the sinner of greed from the series Evillious Chronicles by mothy, but specifically from his own part Judgment of Corruption (joc). He was a judge who fell into corruption by making a contract with a demon in order to save a doll which he believes is his deceased daughter. His story also clashes together with The Muzzle of Nemesis (tmon), which I will be analyzing by its own in another post. The analyzation will be divided into two parts as it is very long: this one about the music video, and another about the novel. ->Music video analysis Something I am going to delve into for the sin songs is the perspective of who is singing the lyrics. What is interesting is that Judgment of Corruption is sung from Gallerians own words. It is his way of showing us his deluded reality. ->The song is divided into four major parts Chapter 1: The corrupt judge and his sullied court Chapter 2: The girl of a miniature garden and the vessel of sin Chapter 3: The beginning of a civil war and the end of his judgement Chapter 4: Master of the hellish yard and the final judgement I am going to go through them one by one to break down the story in full.

->Chapter 1 We are introduced to Gallerian, immediately we see him with his evil smile. Gallerian will continue to wear such a smile and demonize himself throughout the entire video. This can be because of two reasons. 1: He wants you to see him as evil to intimidate you. He can be your devil or saint depending if you pay him or not. 2: He sees himself that way. He knows he is wrong for his actions. However, it simply does not matter to him, as long as he can further his goals. Money is a very common theme in chapter 1. After all, it is what is getting him forward to his goal. Almost all lyrics have something money related in them, and he makes a sign with his hand which means “money” in japan. Hell, the mv even flashes "money" over and over during one part.

This is however to hide his main goal. He makes you believe money is all he cares about to hide what is actually striving his greed, to fulfill his wish of saving his daughter. To him, his greed is less about money and more about trading the lives of countless people for the person he himself cares about the most. A wish that might seem selfless, but is the most selfish of all. He wants to prove himself to be above the gods (hubris) by resurrecting the dead. And therefore, he soon will be punished by Nemesis (I’ll talk more about this in my tmon analysis).

->Chapter 2 The only times we see the good side of him in the mv is when he is with his daughter. Or more so the doll, but it is always shown to be Michelle since it is from his pov. His expression is more soft and he’s smiling. The instrumental also gets noticeably softer and slower too from the pompous and grand instrumental the rest of the song holds as they hug. He does not want her to know about his demonic side. However, his silhouette fades to black in front of her, a hint of his true self being there despite him trying to hide it from her.

Another thing here is the words that pop up in between the lyrics. In chapter 1, all words were about something court related, or straight up just “money”. In this chapter however, we see words more related to his actual motives. "Accident - Mother and daughter" "Untreatable" "Hope - Magic" "Ma - Friend" "Contract - Devil" "Collecting - Vessels" "Revival - Regeneration" "Necessary - Cost" It explains the story as a whole. His daughter and wife dies in an accident and he is made to believe he can save his daughter through magic by contracting with the devil and collecting the other vessels of sin.

That is not what is the most interesting about this thought. Ma is a very important character to Gallerian's story and motivations. She does not appear in the mv, but she still haunts it behind the scenes. It’s sad that her name is also tied with “friend”, as she is the person who ruined his life to begin with. And even after his death, she uses their ties to gain his fortune (more about this in novel analysis).

->Chapter 3 Gallerian is eventually exposed for his crimes after accepting bribes from a war criminal. He is now going to be punished, his house is set on fire as he and the one he cares about the most are trapped inside. The scenery contracts the one from chapter 2. Michelle has her eyes open. His actions are on clear display and he feels as if she is judging him for having dragged her into his mess. Gallerian has his eyes closed, he is unaware of what she actually thinks about him. She watches over him with a smile.

Eventually they hug and their silhouettes burn away. Credits starts to roll, but they are abrupt by a gavel slamming into the words. While he is now dead, his story is not over. Even in death, Gallerian refuses to give up on his hopeless goal.

->Chapter 4 Gallerian is now at the gates of hell, faced with Master of the hellish yard aka satan (I’ll call her Gumillia though). It is a scene that directly parallels his meeting with Nemesis in tmon. Gumillia offers to show him mercy if he pays her his fortune, quoting his catchphrase “money is the best lawyer in hell”. However, Gallerian refuses this offer, believing himself to still be above the gods. He quickly shows her that he is irredeemable by making his evil smile. Then he sprints to the exits, but instead trips and falls into hell. But even in hell, Gallerian has not given up on his wish. He swears that he will one day rebuild what he lost and create a utopia for his daughter. Though the song eventually ends with the sound of a gavel. His fate has been sealed, whether he accepts it or not.  And that makes my analysis of the mv! Some stuff might be plain obvious, especially for people familiar with the story. Though I hope I could still provide some kind of new insight for someone. Since this is so long, I will make another post about the novel and delve deeper into how he developed as a character and how he ended up as such a horrible person. Thank you for reading all this yapping!

What if I'm the monster? What if I'm in the wrong? What if I'm the problem that's been hiding all along?

I got "Monster" from Epic: the Musical stuck in my head and couldn't rest until I made this. I tried something new with the way I did her hair, and I'm not sure how I feel about the gold streaks, but at least it fits this piece.

Laurel crown from AIO Photos, everything else by me.

i see this opinion echoed across the Doctor Who fandom: that we really enjoyed Maestro, and love the idea of The Devil's Chord, but feel like the episode was lacking a little something in the writing department. so here's my suggestion: they shouldn't have killed off Timothy Drake 👀🎶 hear me out:

from the start, we're introduced to Timothy Drake as a deeply talented individual, and one disgruntled with his position in life. his passion and genius have been squandered, and he's been relegated to teaching his craft to disinterested schoolboys. but we learn he has a darker interest...Timothy is a scholar as well as a composer, and he decides to spice up his day by telling his pupil about the lost Devil's Chord. and then, Maestro erupts onto the scene...and they are everything that Timothy has never been able to be. Maestro is loud, and flamboyant, and unreservedly powerful: every glittering gem on their body screams you will look at me, and you will listen. and while Timothy's polite-society conditioning and time-typical bigotry are his initial response, we can tell that Maestro intrigues him. in return, Maestro doesn't just talk to Timothy, oh no. Maestro all but seduces the man, by speaking aloud all of Timothy's most private thoughts: that he's a misunderstood genius, and that it isn't his fault he never got that break. in this way Maestro manifests as a Devil figure, luring Timothy into an unspeakable Faustian bargain. here he is, wasting his life and talent and songs away in some stuffy school...when he could have so, so much more. like Maestro, he could be powerful. he could be who he wants to be. and most importantly: he could make people listen to him. i would've loved a version of The Devil's Chord where Maestro manipulates Timothy Drake into drawing out the music of others, thereby killing them, and feeding Maestro in the process. perhaps there could have been a caveat to Maestro's power: as the Essence of Music, it could be that Maestro has to operate through a living being, much like a demonic muse. not only could Timothy get all of the attention he ever wanted, finally being recognised for his musical brilliance...but he could exact revenge on those who said he'd never make it. wouldn't this have been a fascinating parallel with The Beatles? what if we'd seen an increasingly power-mad Timothy Drake, rising to stardom in an alternate timeline where everyone is devoid of musical inspiration, leaving him as the sole musical genius in the world? what if the Doctor and Ruby's horror at a devastated world included the theme of creation for creation's sake, as opposed to the manic pursuit of adoration which Timothy so clearly desires? perhaps i have lost my mind. perhaps i am reading far too much into the way Timothy looks at Maestro in the latter half of the clip above. but i think the terror of Maestro would have come through even more if they'd kept Timothy Drake around, and trapped him in a Phantom of the Paradise-esque doomed narrative with Maestro whispering in his ear and helping him take control of his destiny 🎶🔥

Appreciation post for Season One Caitlyn and Violyn because the writers may have done them dirty down the line but it sure as hell won't stop me from loving these characters and their dynamic.

sometimes I see David Tennant's face in Doctor Who as he monologues about time travel/immortality/the eternal loneliness and I go...that's him. that's my rotten lil guy. my wretched wreck of a dude. wreckage in humanoid form. the lonely divine corrupted by himself forgiven by himself made by himself made by his companions made by the universe. horrible and horrifying and far too human and not human enough. the worst thing to ever happen to so many (Martha, Adelaide, Astrid, everyone else who flashed through that whole montage thanks to Davros). a corrupter. a corruption. a cleansing. a man carved out of grief and love and pathos and hatred and grudges and forgiveness who can only make the worst decisions with the best, most selfish of intentions. a man who loved until he lost everything. a man, more than any other doctor, who should never be left alone, and yet he dies alone, with the shortest regeneration speech of any doctor. desperately lonely, desperately tragic, a disaster of a man who is too careless with everything and everyone around him.

And yet I care about him so much, because he is also the man who at the end of it all, after he lost everyone and everything he held dear, after he lost rose and donna and sarah jane and jack and martha and mickey left him and he was more alone than he's ever been, he does the right thing. the kind thing. he stops the time lords from descending on the earth. he once again gives up his people because he understands that the Time Lords Victorious cannot and should not ever be the way to go. he steps in and he saves wilfred mott. he lets himself become the doctor once again. he doesn't want to go, but instead of taking that one final step into godhood, he gives his next self a chance at being a better doctor than he ever could be.

oh the fallen angel imagery of it all

just barely started my reread but. i think one of simultaneously both the most interesting and devastating aspects of rize, whose entire character is about her stolen autonomy, is that we never really get to know her outside of other characters perceptions of her. we know her through kaneki's brief meeting with her and his once hallucinated version of her, through furuta's idealized memories of her in the garden and the twisted perception he has of her now, through tsukiyamas run-ins with her, briefly through shachi's ideas he got of her as she was growing up, but we still rarely get to hear from her. and despite this, she's still overwhelmingly present in the narrative, though more as a concept than anything. we do briefly get that scene in re where she talks to kaneki about the garden, but it still cycles back around to what he has to accomplish going forward. a lot of the information we know about her comes from the people fighting so hard to control her and take the autonomy her entire arc is about in the first place. just something i've been thinking about. how we know rize is so overwhelmingly present in the narrative but the people who she's tried to escape from her entire life are primarily who we've learnt about her from.

i actually think oshamir is similar to haladriel from rings of power. halbrand deceived galadriel but he still treated her with a lot of respect and there was actual vulnerability between them. him asking her to join him in the end came from a place of desire to “rule the world together” which is similar to the power of two that qimir was talking about. and halbrand obviously sensed galadriel’s inner darkness, made her more aware of it and in turn she learned how to kind of channel this to her benefit and become more powerful. it’s similar direction where oshamir might be headed. but maybe unlike galadriel refusing his offer, osha will actually join qimir.

i love when my etl ships do that and there’s no “i can fix him” mess. for me personally lol

I’d like to give Isagi some credit and assume what he’s saying here implies he views this way of playing currently as just one of his many options.

For all the dooming and glooming about him this match I feel like people forget that he’s PRETTY damn self-reflective, and has been even in this arc. Like even up until this moment. And he still is. He seems detached and that’s because he’s just accepted that he can’t beat the other team on his own, and it sucks. But to him the way he’s playing right now is a “version”, not his end all be all.

Playing with his friends like Bachi Chigiri and Nagi and even Kunigami back when he was normal wouldn’t drive him to this state of stress, it never has. This is clearly the result of the stressful environment (something that’s been discussed a lot this arc, the environment you’re in and how you’ll use it to make it the right path for you) Rin and Kaiser have thrown him into. Which I think we can all agree is not a good one. There is no camaraderie, encouragement, uplifting of each other. Rin is crazy, Kaiser is crazy (and both of them have been taking it out on Isagi THIS WHOLE TIME BTW), Noa and Loki are self-serving dicks, Kunigami is basically absent from this arc because of the shit he’s dealing with, and Isagi is pretty much on his own.

So the desperation to just end this match (and shut Rin up) is coming out like this.
