I just need to share that my friend and I about 10 minutes ago commiserated that this was, and I quote, "the most out of pocket dming we've ever seen on cr" which is SAYING something after Calamity, and anyway it's much MORE SO NOW

I've been going through a lot of changes in my medications in the past week or so and it's really starting to take a toll on me mentally. I'm probably not going to post much art until things settle down a bit so if I'm more inactive than usual, that is why.

I hope that you will come back in the ao3 GG fandom someday. Your stories were the best !

Ah! Thank you so, so much, anon, I'm definitely keen to. I miss writing about this toxic ship a lot, and still have stories I want to finish. I'm hoping sometime in the next few months I might have a bit more time on my hands again and get to work on a few things. But yes! Messages like this are very motivating, so thank you again <3

finding your blog years ago lead to a very convoluted chain of events to our system discovery years ago so it's funny to check in and see you're questioning your own level of brain alone-ness (or lack thereof) - your local collection of guys

FOR REAL? it's crazy how that kind of thing happens...

Apprenticember - Day 28

“Are they afraid to die?”

No... and yes, and no.  Lua spent time in their younger years very afraid of death, which, as they grew, settled into a gentle acceptance of the concept, and into managing grief into their adulthood (even manifesting into well-meaning humor and lightheartedness on the topic.)  Aleis has always been pragmatically close to death, and as they have grown, their bonds have become tighter, smoother, and all the more thoughtful and clear.  However, Lua, in their coming terms of acceptance with loss outside of themselves, failed to reckon with their own death.  For much of their adult life they had a sort of hubris that comes with one’s own death being a blind spot in their thoughts.

This is what endangered their life, and left them traumatized in any continuity.  However, this close contact with death has given them perspective to work through their own fears and concerns.  They have pretty well come to terms with the inevitability of their own death, how it will end all that they are, but there is nothing they can do about it.  This still raises fears and worries for them of what they can do for their loved ones, but they try very much to remember that the grief of others is not their own responsibility.  Love is worth the cost of grief.

It is an idea they sometimes still chew on, but generally, they have come close to peaceful acceptance of death.

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?
