ghostwriter (their grandma would tell them she'd lose half her soul)
#or smth smth. having a lot of Thoughts. anyways here's the piece i've been working on and sometimes u have to just say Done#there's a lot of thinks but i am maybe a bit tired and so tmr i'll come in and add all the Tags that i'd personally want to get from myself#maybe i'll reblog the extras tmr too. this is an incredibly self indulgent piece + it probably deserves a tag ramble essay or smth#ig for now we see how it stands for itself + in the meantime:#adamandi#beatrix valeria campbell#hello!! i'm back with belated tags yippee!! alright so for funsies i'm going to make it sound like i'm going bonkers over this :3#the eye shine... the glowy eye... it's like phaethon shine but also smth about eyes to windows to the soul and like#there's two beatrixes here! half the soul. lost part doing things specific to the phaethon and here it's portrayed as tearing off her name#because that's really; truly; when it all starts!! also notable for the ghostly beatrix is i did it more painterly and cloaked in shadow and#fading into the bg. i think i was super duper specificish about where the glow comes from! front lighting back lighting beloved!!! like help#let's put it this way- beatrix face always glowy. important parts of paper also glowy. it's just that different elements are turned away#from the viewer by each beatrix!! also also. let's talk about the very gently implied blood and red etcetera#like the red string is canonical and i love personally the whole red strings of fate thing even though it's not Here Applicable exactly but#that definitely was an influence! and also the blood in the bg... i'm starting to think this is a recurring trend. but anyway shadowy bea#the other strings hang while the red string loops!! so like that one string feels almost alive. it's a sort of whimsical i put on the same#as metaphorical glowy eye!! also also the eye is lowkey influenced by the whole idea of Eyes and Spotlights within the show and also glow#as in power as in heyyy you ever think about writing as a visual medium huh#speaking of writing!! there is no beatrix thingy complete in my head without text sorrry but the black text overlays are always so >>> to me#and in the sense of art styles and overlays shoutout to all the black crosshatching outline thingys because For Some Reason in my mind#of all the characters beatrix feels like the bnw ink printed illustrations you get in books idk#fun fact! i spent so long rendering this and that was fine i liked it! but then trying to figure out text to go on the papers was a Thing#i tried to do. but then gave up on! sometimes i have to pick my battles and graphic design is indubitably Not my passion bc Fonts#fun facts about this is i Actually did start with a quick sketch in mind and there's been so many changed elements. in the og the front#paper for instance had 'ardess murders' written on it and the back one said phaethon interviews.. i like the nominee list better it feels#more narrative-esque and less passive than her just holding her writing.! other elements that got discontinued were that#front beatrix was supposed to blur into the other ghostly beatrix but i couldn't do it without sacrificing clarity so... no... no blurry#oh and the red string morphing at the ends to smth more abstract was always there from the start!! og had more floating papers#and also a silhouette of vincent and a scalpel bc 'one who pulls the strings' but that (pun intended)! got cut (hahahahahahaha) (sorry)#used also to be a lot of print room clutter but that got cut to bc compositionally i made beatrix larger (learned lesson from last art)

rewatching carl
#taking this opportunity to ramble in the tags#i like this ep so much it's probably one of my favorites#it's so. it's. ghsdgjfshj. LOOK#compared to lets get shadowy ko was clearly more comfortable around venomous#ko was STARTING to think 'oh maaaybe he's not the worst dad in the world?'#and it gets thrown back at his face#i love the car scene. it has none of the show's usual bright colors or background music#it BUGS ME#which is GREAT because THATS THE EMOTION IM SUPPOSED TO FEEL#the feeling of 'it's all going downhill. darn'#and wow everything does go downhill so incredibly fast#it's like getting hit by three or four consecutive gut punches#and you feel terrible but WOW the episode is SO GOOD they sure know how to make me feel like crying!#yes i havent recovered. yes i know it's obvious.#*grabs passing stranger* CARL IS GOOD HERE'S A THREE HOUR TED TALK ON THE REASON WHY#incoherent ramblings

among the long, long list of crimes against OK KO is the fact that it didn't get to be around for the era of the Family Guy Death Pose meme because you know they absolutely would have done that lmfao

My FL main went through some really weird, organic development over the...oh god, I think it's been five years since I started playing now.
So my main is named Skadi Larkin. They are a little bastard. They started out extremely 2D; I named them after my favorite Norse goddess and the protagonist of the book I was reading at the time. I originally wanted to make them female like both of their namesakes, but the second I saw the third-gender option, I thought it was too good to pass up. This is where they got their primary base characterization as a mad scientist who wanted to Cause Problems.
Then I started the Nemesis ambition and forgot which option I'd chosen for who I was trying to avenge, so they lost both their lover and their older brother under tragic circumstances (only the lover was killed by Nemesis's antagonist, though).
Then I got an Exceptional Friendship and had to give my tragic backstory in order to gain entry to the House of Chimes. Skadi pulled said tragic backstory (orphaned in a hansom accident) more or less out of their ass, but it did establish that their parents are dead.
Somewhere down the line, I realized that technically Skadi is a linguist, since the Correspondence is a language, and I made that their profession on the Surface as well.
Around this time, I started working on character designs for my fan comic. I got really into messing around with skin tone, and somewhere along the line thought it would be fun to draw Skadi (who was originally white) with darker skin, and it stuck.
Then I abruptly realized I was taking a lot of options that increased my Melancholy, and almost all of them were based on the Surface. So now Skadi has a longing for the Surface.
I left the game for a few years, but somewhere during this stretch of time, and I don't know how this happened, but I decided Skadi was now Native American; specifically, Metis. I changed their design to incorporate a sash woven in a style characteristic of the Metis, which also added a bit of color to their design (which was mostly black or grey at this point).
During this time, I started incorporating Skadi into my fan comic. This would eventually lead me to actually flesh out their backstory in greater detail. When I started playing the game again, I also created my first alt by total accident (long story), and I decided to weave her backstory with Skadi's.
So Skadi is in the interesting position of being an Indigenous person who is what we'd probably consider Two-Spirit today but they'd just call "Bollocks to that gender crap". They never belonged on the Surface, since the Metis are in a bit of a liminal space compared to other tribes due to their interesting background (the Metis are the descendants of French settlers and Indigenous inhabitants, mostly Cree), and Skadi exists in a liminal space within that liminal space due to only being half-Metis and raised primarily in white culture, although they still maintained a connection to it through their late mother. They also never belonged because no one else on the Surface outside of the communities they already felt isolated from would ever accept them for their gender. London gave them a chance to express one of those, but not both, and despite knowing that the Surface hates them just for existing, they still long to return.
#fallen london#fallen london oc#mild fallen london spoilers ig#there's a really interesting dichotomy with all of my fl characters honestly#skadi's is just probably the most blatant#umbra belacqua (my shadowy alt) is someone who both loves very fiercely and is capable of immense cruelty at the same time#in her backstory she had the husband of her ex-fiancee (who left her at the altar) murdered because she couldn't let go of her ex's betraya#said ex is my persuasive alt and is both very socially gregarious and extremely withdrawn#he probably won't ever get a spouse just because he can't bring himself to love someone else after what happened the last time#and he had very good reason for leaving umbra because he could never love her the way she wanted#and he felt that the sympathy she would receive from his family would more than make up for the heartbreak#since umbra is obsessed with gaining power and prestige and he came from an influential family#and knew that running away with the person he really loved would get him disowned#(he doesn't know umbra killed his husband btw)#my dangerous alt is my persuasive alt's sister#she's trans and badly overcompensating for it by refusing to wear anything except feminine clothing#because it hasn't quite gotten through to her yet that no one in Fallen London particularly cares about her gender expression#and she feels like the only way she can be seriously considered a woman is if she does everything she can to look like one#which causes her a good few problems because her one true passion is violence and that's not usually considered a very feminine hobby#then their younger brother (my watchful alt) is someone ironically very disinclined to violence who resorts to it anyways#the only people he's actually going to try to kill are the ones he has to kill for his ambition#and he's not very happy about it but he doesn't have much of a choice#because while he might not like bloodshed his murdered spouse was an anarchist who definitely did#and he's determined to do right by his memory by...killing a lot of people apparently#he is not a terribly mentally stable man and when i finally get around to making his account#he's going to have a massive nightmares problem that he refuses to deal with and keeps ending up in the royal beth for it#tl;dr all my fallen london characters are going through it and have overly long and complicated backstories#my main just happens to have the most overly long and complicated of them all

i hope that if they go into the scroll again to get Wukong out and bring Macaque with them that Macaque just. gets fucking possessed/controlled by the scroll. Because Wukong could very clearly break himself out of the chapter he was stuck in before, so, yknow
Wukong very clearly reacted the most to Macaque’s appearance- I mean, I Havoc in Heaven was obviously something Wukong probably kinda regrets, but I think he’d regret killing/being unable to save his best friend more...
I think the scroll knows it’s illusions won’t work on Wukong, so what better method than to use something real?
#Monkie Kid#monkie kid spoilers#basically i REALLY want another Macaque vs SWK fight#come ON bitch give me parallels#we had the s3 special fight parallel ep 9 at the start#let me have a s4 special fight that parallels the s3 special fight 'cept Macaque is the one possessed#LET ME HAVE THIS PLEASE#*(smacks Macaque's heartless chest)* PRIME POSSESSION MATERIAL!!!!!#*(tosses ink at Macaque's head)* GET GOO'ED YOU SHADOWY IDIOT

Maybe I'm just stupid and/or naive, but I honestly thought whole idea behind the social justice movement was that no one should be oppressed, that no one of any race, religion, culture, gender, sexuality, country of origin or any combination thereof deserves to be discriminated against. I thought that bigotry was always wrong no matter what, I thought rape and torture were wrong no matter what. I thought that the ultimate goal was to end the bloodshed altogether, for the end of oppression and the beginning of peace. I thought that we all wanted everyone to live and meet on equal footing, not just to switch around who's being oppressed and who's doing the oppressing. I thought it was about making a better life for everyone, not just the select groups of people whom it's popular to care about this week.
Apparently I was wrong. Apparently there are exceptions.
#i can't believe i need to say this#but israelis don't have to die in order for palestinians to live any more than palestinians have to die in order for israelis to live#like i can't pretend to know the answer to this conflict but i'm fairly certain that it doesn't involve one group wiping out the other#also some of y'all really need to let go of your fantasies of a glorious and violent revolution#y'all act like you're such brave rebel soldiers fighting a righteous war against the shadowy forces of evil#but at best all you're doing is playing pretend with each other and wasting everyone's time and energy#at worst y'all're actively trying to incite a genocide against jews#mostly it seems like you're all just looking for excuse to vent your rage at a socially-acceptable target and get clout for it too

I got my first Making Your Name 7!
#fallen london#Dangerous wasn't NEAR as bad as the others. I've been on Watchful 6 for weeks and I'm still only on Starring in Tales of the University 17#let's not talk about Persuasive. I do one level at a time and try not to think about it at all in between.#Shadowy might not be so bad also though#maybe#depends on those rare successes I guess if all I have to do is get that quality satisfied and at least it's not 3 whole actions per option#(NO idea what they were thinking with that one)#but yes! I did it!#I was poking around the First Coil thinking THIS was the grind lol. I've been conditioned.#also glad I didn't end up having to do Mr Inch's stupid hit either#I basically just ignored his 'offer' entirely#I figured I'd be forced to address it to progress but I didn't want to deal with it until then#but I never was!#Double yay!#...should probably finish the becoming POSI thing I've been sitting on for a couple days for RP reasons#gotta get that velocipede
