#is she a mary sue?

[quietwingsinthesky]

(She is literally just my oc now isnt she. My funny little Marie Sue except everything in her life sucks all the time and no one actually pays any attention to her. Holding her up like simba everyone look at this child I just created and then traumatized)

Gideon Nav casually climbing twenty-two (22!!!) flights of stairs to get to the landing field in chapter 1 is yet more evidence that her legs are actually very strong, thank you very much, BUT it is also very funny to imagine her sweating and wheezing hands on her knees dizzy whole body burning thinking what if instead of escaping the Ninth she simply laid down and died

First sitting pose ref here

Been working on an extensive document to flesh out Oz more, the origin of the blood manipulation power, her ancestor's backstory and how much the Celestial Court sucks, and her connection with Sun Wukong / the Destined one

The biggest tragedy is that I gave her those cool powers but she can't even use them LMFAO. I think that realistically speaking she would not be able to learn to fully control and master it in her mortal life span.

Blood Manipulation [ Marked Me Like a Bloodstain ]

An unnatural ability that laid dormant inside Oz until she got isekaid into Ancient China. Inherited from her ancestor. 

List of powers that she could have if she was an immortal who has cultivated for centuries and honed her powers. Unfortunately, she is just a girl from the modern world trying to survive so the powers are wasted on her lol

Can shape her own blood into weapons and use them to fight. Risks of major blood loss

Can also turn enemies blood into weapons, provided they lost enough for her to use their blood

Can turn her blood corrosive, useful for melting objects and things. If someone swallows few drops of her blood, could melt them from the inside

Can bloodbend, control living beings like puppets, and crush internal organs

Stardust Tears [ Eyes Full of Stars ]

Tears full of stardust. Highly sought out for it’s healing properties

Drinking pure Stardust Tears can heal any poison and illness

Few drops of tears can heal any physical injuries in an instant

Can be used as an ingredient for making healing elixirs

Also able to see through transformation and disguises, and tell apart which are clones and which are not

Would love to hear about some of your attempts on your surana's life

i love minerva surana to pieces and i have always been trying to get rid of her because she is the most narratively inconvenient woman alive. she is extremely powerful, both magically and politically, and not only fond of getting involved in everyone’s business even if it has nothing to do with her, but highly personally invested in most of the major political struggles in the following decades after her victory

i’ve gone back to poring over an old favourite where during the height of about-to-burst mage templar tensions, an attempt on alistair’s life forces her to visibly use blood magic in front of the gathered nobles & chantry higher-ups of ferelden. she could use her connections and warden immunity to get away with it, but that would mean kinloch hold takes the fall for the templars’ renewed ire. instead, she agrees to tranquillity. she would do it with the hope that her gift for strategy would continue to be useful to the wardens, only for what i have always known to be true about her character—that despite how little she sometimes pretends to feel, she would be nothing, listless and useless and never pushing her mind to its great achievements, without how much she cares—to come true. and she would see no point in dragging it out under those circumstances, and have made her wishes clear

i remember writing a shoddy attempt at an in-world codex entry about it and concluding with something like “six months after being made tranquil, surana was assassinated by her own husband, the former antivan crow zevran arainai. both the wardens and the fereldan crown refused to report on their pursuit of the matter.” and feeling very sick about it. in this theoretical setup it’s a martyrdom that helps instigate the rebellion

i’ve made other attempts. for example i think it would’ve fucked if she was at the conclave. (oh she could take some of divine justinia’s place narratively...... hold on i’m onto something here.) i’m yet to truly be convinced by any of this however

my mlp tabletop rpg character..... i love her so much its unreal

i get the picture maxis was trying to convey with mary-sue but placing her on such a low career level shes been in for? 15 years? with an almost nonexistent skillset in her late adulthood and a job that literally requires none to advance?? like mary-sue is clearly completely unfit to be a politician because how does she even manage that, all while she's tight with the most influential family in all history and never thought about taking advantage of that YET she spent over a decade just being an intern whos about to be fired over a speech check and not once considered changing careers during all that time while we're all supposed to think she's this massive career woman who severely neglected every other aspect of her life for it and basically helen morgendorffer is. actually tragic

@tolkienocweek Day 6: Background Characters | Elloth

Galadriel’s most beloved handmaiden and Arwen’s closest companion! She has proven herself to be clever and courageous, and talented with elven-craft. She is charged by her mistress with carrying the light of Eärendil into dark places no one else dares to go. She desires to see the world rid of evil, and considers herself highly honoured to be given such a worthy (albeit dangerous) task. Even the smallest Elf can make the greatest difference against the dark power threatening all of Middle-earth.

I finished reading 4 books from Earth's Children series. The last three were really hard to read. After finishing Plains of Passage, I have come to really appreciate Clan of the Cave Bear as a standalone. I miss all the Neanderthals and Ayla's character arc. Gotta do some fanart!

PS. I MISS IZA! Best character in the series.

tbh while i get the frustration at not getting a genuine chimera cat, i don't really fault the erins for assuming that a split face tortie was enough to imply it? that's mostly what comes up on google when you look up what a chimera cat is and we all know that's the most research that they do.

like.... yeahhhh they could do better than that but it's not the end of the world to me yknow? im just glad we have such an indulgent character at all. moonpaw's design wouldve sent 2010s wc fans into a rage and something abt that is charming to me

[navybrat817]

What if...The writers of "What If...?" focused on a character besides Peggy Carter?

[leupagus]

Because I think my tumblr buds are more into the Miss Marple fic than my bluesky buds:

[liliaceaae]

i’ve been rewatching the G-8 filler arc and the thought “hey that guy has reddish hair, wouldn’t it be funny if he was related to rhea?” completely ran away from me & i ended up doodling all class

bonus rhea & kotatsu missing ace ;(

[bluegrasshellbard]

My design for The White Lord of Alagadda ft Dr.Willow (for a height comparison). They are quite small compared to the Lords, and Lord White likes to dress them up like a little doll.

Pretend that I didn't fall asleep and I posted this yesterday without any problem-

Anyways, happy late Halloween! Remember to biologically rearrange yourself beyond recognition for the holidays!!/silly

Although I've been buying the current main Batman comics for a while, I'll admit I have not read them in a bit, but what?

"Alexis Kaye, a disillusioned college student, embraced The Joker’s nihilism. Creating her own Joker toxin, she murdered her college dean, earning The Joker's approval as "Punchline," his new partner against Batman."

Fucking what?

And these clowns (derogatory) have the audacity to claim queer and/or female fans create Mary Sue self-inserts?

What the fuck is she then???
