Thinking about Giants' curse

(Images by Zlofsky) It seems like Radagon was not unique, after all! Fire Monks got this too! Notably, Arghanthy's hair is much less saturated, which makes sense since she is old :p I assume merely close contact with the Fire of Ruin is not all there is, but, they did inherit its power at some point:

"Can't burn if you are already on fire" or whatnot.

With Wego and Kood it can't be seen due to their helmets, but with Salza and Hilde (and general Fire Knight enemies) their red hair are also very visible! Though if Arghanthy is of any indication, again, Wego's hair is likely not so rich of color :p

This similarly confirms that wielding the Messmer's Flame (who we all know is connected with Fell God's curse one way or another) alone is not enough, but Fire Knights attempted to accept it within them! Even if it doesn't settle, the red hair stays!

Queelign seems to be an exception as he is the only Fire Knight whose hair isn't red, and also the only one who doesn't wear red cape. Again, he also uses Messmer's Flame but it alone didn't effect him; for one reason or another, Messmer didn't give him the curse despite Queelign being close enough to become a Fire Knight and live in Shadow's Keep. I think considering how much Queelign is like if Messmer was younger and more naive, he just doesn't want to.. Messmer always hated his flame, so maybe he doesn't have a heart to curse a guy who is quite basically a version of him he wished he was? And how could he ruin someone's blond hair...?

^^^ On a side note, Fire Knights don't have faces modeled under masks, but Messmer's Soldiers do! Seeing how the skin starts to darken for Fire Knights where their mask starts, they probably have a similar damage! Arghanthy has bright orange eyes though, and Fire Monks have normal Lands Between eyes (blue with Grace of Gold), despite both likewise having their faces darkened around the eyes, so maybe Fire Knights should also still have eyes? It is hard to say for sure,

Better Bones: CW List

Can't believe I have to make this disclaimer, but here we are

Better Bones is not a project that aims to fix canon by making the Clans wholesome and unproblematic. Though there can be fun and kindness in it and my philosophy is an optimistic one, It's not an escapist fantasy. It is a story about semi-realistic cats of human intelligence in a violent, war-obsessed theocratic dictatorship, and how they attempt to change it over the years.

Clan Culture is flawed, that is on purpose. Addressing and changing this is what the story is about.

I am very disappointed I have to state this because it should be obvious from my main post where I explicitly say that my goal is to "Address (Canon's) Problematic Elements." Not remove.

If you cannot handle themes or depictions of;

Physical and emotional abuse; Domestic, authoritative, and familial

Child abuse and inter-generational trauma

Somewhat graphic medical discussion, such as abortion, wound infection, and the use of leeches and maggots

The killing and processing of small animals into food, including tanning and butchery

Semi-realistic cat behaviors, specifically marking things with urine

Ableism; both externalized and internalized, Clan culture treats disabled cats poorly and this is something several characters struggle with

Xenophobia; to a violent degree, including stochastic terrorism, hate crime, and discrimination

^^^ read that one again. Consider that on this list twice.

Politics; Authoritarianism, fascism, and liberalism as an enemy, discussion of dog whistles and ideology

"Redemption arcs" of people who did bad things

Cosmic horror and supernatural curses

Graphic violence, including against innocent bystanders, through assault, poisoning, drowning, falling, and even being eaten alive by large fish and demigods.

Animal abuse; Human beings harming cats on purpose and Clan cats generally being terrified of all humans, even kind and loving ones

Clan cats, both villainous and culturally mislead, glorifying these things in-universe, not immediately staring at the camera and breaking character to tell you "This Is A Bad Thing!"

Then Better Bones may not be for you. I would at minimum rate this project as PG-13, but PG-16 would be a more accurate bet.

I have sympathy for you if these are not topics you can handle. My project tackles very upsetting real-world issues and not everyone is looking for something challenging; that's understandable and there's no fault in that. I try to tag appropriately but can't promise to catch everything, so please keep yourself safe.

There are other, softer projects out there run by cool people if this is not for you, and you can add #Better Bones AU to your tag filters and this project will not show up!

But, I'm not responsible for your comfort with my art. If you followed me under the assumption that BB is "Warriors without any ableism/xenophobia/violence" you were mistaken. If you don't have the maturity to act responsibly when something upsets you, or DO have the malice to read a disabled person's work with the most bad faith interpretations you can muster, LEAVE.

🎃JACK IS FREE🦋

I GOT WAY TO EXCITED TODAY AND MADE A NOTHER DRAWING OF JACK^^;

THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES I DRAW A CHARACTER IN A SIDE VIEW, AND THE FIRST EVER TIME I'VE DRAWN A DCA MODEL FACING UP SHOWING THEIR HEAD FROM A SIDE ANGLE. I LIKE THE WAY THIS TURNED OUT OTHER THEN THE ARMS AND HANDS SINCE I DREW THEM WRONG TwT

I DREW THIS WHILE AT THE LANDRY MAT WITH MY RAI RAI AND OUR MOM, I WAS INSPIRED BY A LITTLE KID PLAYING AND SPINNING AROUND LOOKING TWORDS THE CEILING LIGHTS.

IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE AND WONDER, REMINDING ME OF WHEN ME AND RAI RAI USE TO PLAY TOGETHER RUNNING IN CIRCLES AND GIGGLING AT EVERY LITTLE THING. SOMETIMES WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I CAN STILL SEE US LAUGHING AND CHASING EACH OTHER AROUND WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD. I MISS THOSE DAYS, WHEN IM ON MY OWN OR OUT WITH MY FAMILY I'LL STILL SPACE OUT AND SPIN AROUND LOOKING AT EVERYTHING IN WONDER AND JOY LIKE WHEN I WAS LITTLE.

I MAYBE GROW UP NOW BUT I STILL HAVE THE MIND AND HEART OF A CHILD AND I'LL ALWAYS HOLD ONTO IT. ITS FUN JUST TO STOP AND LOOK AT THINGS THROUGH A CHILD'S EYES, DO YOU REMEMBER THOSE DAYS?

Tbh I wish a lot of people would give things that are considered universally bad a chance. Watch it.

Like even if you still hate it, now you hate it better. People who just repeat points they've heard from people online are one of my biggest pet peeves.

what tarot card are you?

The Fool

there is only so fast a car can go before it flips. you would do well to memorise that speed, though whether that is to reach it or avoid it is none of my concern. your life can not be made only of beginnings; you forget that for every new life, there is one you had to smother. adventure beckons, must you rise to meet it? have you spoken to a loved one from a past life recently? i’m sure someone somewhere misses you.

Uhh random question, it's ok if you didn't answer it.

Soo, is there other Aidairos work or animes that you like other than JSHK? Like 'Dear My Living Dead' -Aidairos work- or anything.

Thats all :]

I will answer your question with pleasure, please don't worry. Thank you for your question. I appreciate your question.

I don't know any other anime from them.

one shots:

"Nika Kiri!" - There is a sakura prototype in this series, and she really cool.

Fox-Masked Guardian Spirit

I've also read their one shot Money, Maidens, Love, and Innocence - but I didn't really like it

For the Area asks ((I'm sorry I couldn't resist)) 17. How would your character react if they discovered a likeable acquaintance was Garlean? Violently? With suspicion? Or would they ignore it altogether?

FFXIV Area Asks

(( Heh, I figured someone would! :3 ))

To put it lightly... not well! There is, I suppose, a small amount of leeway if the person was a conscript/gang pressed into service - she can understand, in a way, not having a choice? It's a complicated scenario then - because would that make them as much Garlemald's unwilling prisoner as she once was? Certainly, they served the Garlean dogs, but... did they want to? Did they relish it? Were they forced to, at threat of harm to themselves, or loved ones? Does any of that make her feel any better about it? It would, at least, stave off any immediate attempts at murder.

Now, if the person is.... genuinely a Garlean born - a three-eyed freak?If they joined Garlemald willingly? That's probably one of the very few times she'd immediately resort to violence. She's hunted down harmless Garlean refugees in recent times and felt not a whit bad about it - it's what they did to her and her people, after all! So why feel bad about attacking someone who hid what a vile creature they were from her? They're not just filth - but lying filth!

Garlean defectors? Well, good job! She probably won't trust you, but... hey, you railed against the same machine she did, so... that's a vote in your favor, she's not going to erupt into a Dark Knight eldritch horror and turn you into a fine bloody mist, at least!
