What makes Larry even more real to me has always been how management, pr and how Louis and Harry reacted in regards to it. All the boys were shipped together at some point during 1D but it was only ever Larry that their management and pr teams had a huge reaction to. Like for example splitting them up whenever they could, changing narratives, making them awkward around eachother. While the other boys could be humping eachother on stage and laughing about being shipped together. Even Nick used to joke and laugh about the romance rumours with Harry. It’s only Louis and Harry where it became a massive issue. The way they acted about Larry gave it away in the end and became one of the biggest proofs.

Yeah I totally agree with you. Why would you want to hide something if there was nothing to hide?

The thing is they still do in some ways. We know that 1d has a gc so that they talk and chat but we know that only because it’s a gc with them all together. If it was something only between Harry and Louis we would never know about it. Louis likes Liam’s posts, Niall’s posts and Niall and Liam do the same with him. EVEN with Zayn, we all know the problems but how many times has Louis liked Zayn’s posts now? And everyone is super happy about it when it happens. But with Harry? They don’t interact, don’t like the posts, don’t do anything that could lead anyone thinking they were in a boyband together (at the very least). And it fits the narrative if you want because they hated each other right? But we KNOW they don’t hate each other and it’s only for the narrative because honestly:

Who would wear a broken wedding bracelet on their bag, many months after said wedding, if it wasn’t important?

Would you react like this if your enemy was lost in the bathrooms?

Would you reach between your enemy’s legs?

Would you just do this eye flirting (and this is me being nice)?

Also here are some of Louis’ reaction when asked about Harry:

- Louis being asked about Harry being in Italy at the same time

- Louis being asked about Harry’s haircut (the first time when they had a similar haircut)

- Louis panicking about being asked about Harry’s buzzcut

Anyways at least we know that they have a realtionship of mutual respect 😊

So... the writers decided to ADD scenes of both Alicent and Daemon being raped. Alicent's was added to lend her sympathy and make it easier for her stans to justify all all the misogynistic, destructive things she does. And Daemon's was added so... the audience can laugh about how he deserves it is because of how fucked up he is while already kinda condemning him for not maritally raping Rhea and also to make Alys, Aemond's rape victim, a rapist herself so presumably Condal can hope that people will have an easier time seeing Aemond as "complex" if they can pretend he's not a rapist. Is that what you're getting from this? Because that's kind of what I'm getting.

I just can't believe how badly a show that's based on a story about the patriarchy manages to fumble the topic of rape at every turn. At this point Lady Footley is going to be a seductress who's glad to be rid of her husband.

These are great points, anon. That is what I'm kinda getting but haven't put into words yet even after I explained my thoughts about Aemond's own sexual violations in season 1. and I doubt Sharis Footly will even be in this show, as I don't know if they will even go with the Four Widows storyline for their show.

Would you like some strangely elaborate specific ass headcanons? Of course you do!!!! Also I'm outsourcing a very specific dilemma. But you have to Learn My Methods first. Okay? Okay!!!!

PIERCINGS. AS STORYTELLING DEVICES. GO!!!!

Okay! So what the hell are we looking at and what exactly am I trying to determine, here? Well!!! There's a few different facets to this.

FIRST OF ALL. REALLY REALLY CUTE AND ALWAYS SO FUN TO ME

One, two, three!!! They're a set of three, and they're marked as such by how many sets of piercings they have in their ears. It's such a small detail that happened more by coincidence than intent, but it makes drawing all three of them together feel coherent and again, fun! I also really like the storytelling/contrast of the Askr siblings having golden jewerly, while Moe's is in silver (it does mix silver and gold more broadly -- but I'm talking just the face/ears here!). You get the sense (... in addition to Moe's more scruffy appearance in general), that one is from a more "common" background.

Okay, but what's all that text? STORYTELLING.... 2

Piercings, as a way to indicate connections to other characters, and to imply background information.

First example, it's noted that Bruno has had his in for a long time (... kind of regretting the specificness of "as a kid". That's supposed to have implications, but tbh it may be more fitting for Bruno as a whole to simply have said, "A Long Time"). He wears something modest, maybe a common stone, but still eye-catching. I like to think Alfonse became enamored with it (guys can also do this???), same way he was completely smitten by all of Zacharias. One extremely questionable piercing job courtesy of Zacharias himself and egged on by Sharena (who made a generous donation and/or sacrifice from her own jewelry box) later, it's a miracle he managed to heal them. Equally impressive is how long he managed to hide them as a teenager.

Meanwhile, you see Sharena's example is pretty straightforward! Assigned ear-stabbing at birth. It worked out well, though! Aside from that one time where her piercings mysteriously closed up and they had to be re-done, when she was little. Which could mean nothing. Alls well that ends well! In fact, she liked the look so much she decided to get another set done! Which may or may not come back later...

I will admit, the saddle plugs on Bruno were an impulse decision I made drawing this out (so not a super strong design headcanon, and maybe I could draw it better w more practice tbh, test run ect ect), BUT. MORE IMPORTANTLY. That idea, AND NEXT UP: STORYTELLING... 3.

On top of noting significant connections and providing background information -- here, you have gaining more and/or doing different Things with your piercings, as a way to indicate the passage of time or a change of taste. Woah, that's a lot of text! That's just my autism showing, I'll do you a favor -- with Moe specifically, the biggest takeaway here is:

One, two, three. There are other iderations of Moe of course, plenty of awkward in-between stages. But as I've developed it, I've found that there's like... three really plot relevant parts of its life. One easy to forget, two OH GOD OH FUCK, three that's the guy who lives here now. AWESOME!!!!

OKAY. OKAY. PEONY she has BEEN HERE THIS WHOLE TIME. What's up with that?

So we have background implications/information, we have connections to other characters, and NOW. WE HAVE. Paths that diverge. Sharena, 2. Peony, 1. Plus, a little bit of shape language with those tear drop earrings... on Sharena specifically...... ohghhghhf........

I've always been really indecisive with my Peony designs (for some reason it has been SUCH A STRUGGLE FOR ME), but I do like the simplicity of this one actually. The "Princess Peach core" note about Sharena is more about her color palette, but after writing that I went You know what. Fuck it *gives Peony Princess Peach earrings*. This does feel subject to change, but the idea they could be like water droplets is so cutes... I have really wanted to give Peony earrings with a blue gem though, BECAUSE...

The blue and silver are a nod to this reoccurring detail on Peony! So not only does it tie back to Sharena (IMPORTANT), it also (theoretically.) ties together nicely overall!!

Okay. So. Where does this leave me. Why did I draw all this out? All these little details that exist in my mind, why did I go out of my way to create this elaborate in-depth demonstration? Remember when I said I was gonna outsource some shit?

PROBLEM: I NEVER. EVER. EVEEEERRRRRR KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH LIF'S EARRINGS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ AND THE LACK OF DIRECTION IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE GLARING EVERY FUCKING TIME I DRAW HIM‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

And what prompted all of this. What REALLY made me Think About This. I did another "ehhh Fuck It" with Lif's piercings, where he's sharing a panel with Moe, and

Ooughgughfhghhh...... them having the same earring arrangement.

But then. Then. I got autism brained about it. I can see Bruno having fuck all time to stretch his ears while on some gayass journey (... the. Timelines. Time in between Events. Maybe he wouldn't have full big stretched ears in Book 1. HOWEVER). Inconvenient, maybe, but if he's dedicated to the grind. He can do it. And I mean, have you seen his muscles? Dude CARES about his appearance. Meanwhile Moe ABSOLUTELY had fuck all time to stretch its ears before arriving in Askr. Then I'm thinking about Alfonse. NEVERMIND how much time it takes to stretch your ears, I'm thinking about the Number Rules. I'm thinking about how he's One, the first guy of a set of Three. I'm thinking about the Number Rule, to indicate Time. Why WOULD he have Three? The Number Rule, as Paths Diverging. There's Two of him, not Three. ALSO ASKING MYSELF "Would Alfonse get more piercings???" LIKE NO. BECAUSE. THE. THE RULE OF THREE. THE ONE TWO THREE. WERE YOU EVEN LISTENING‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😫😫😫😫😫

Idk am I just insane. Am I a lost cause. Lif's ears are usually covered up by his long shaggy hair anyway. But really that does just make any time any piercings Would be visible, just. I am just so deeply conflicted torn between Goth Alt Men Hot and THE METHODS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ THE STORYTELLING THE METHODS MY DEEPLY INTRICATE RITUALS‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Cyberweek 2024 Day 3: Magic

I've never drawn Shari or Wicked before. Huh. Well, here's a good excuse to rectify that. A witch's duel in the sky! Probably over that book Shari's carrying. Given the stakes that Cyberchase has, it could be anything from access codes for an entire site to a cookbook. Who knows?

There is a real difficulty to portraying mental illness in a story.

The difficulty being: how much is too much?

Generally speaking, I'd say that if you get tired of portraying it, then it's becoming too much.

But what do you do if the character is still in the middle of an episode of, say, derealization? I've experienced that in the past and know you don't just snap out of it. So what do you do, then?

I feel like I'm taking a risk with making the first chapter of Fates so much about Shary's mental illness/disorder (which is not 100% defined; it's a contemporary story but with a supernatural element that affects protagonists to some degree, so I decided to portray symptoms, not a specific disease/pathology). Like, most of that chapter is about that - and about how her sister handles her. Both of which are important elements for things to come.

I also feel the risk is worth it, because Fates is a sort of tribute to my life and a comment on some things I experienced.

Like, if a reader gets tired of reading about Shary in chapter 0 because of her being so annoying being mentally ill? Yeah. Yeah. EXACTLY. That is how everyone who suffers from mental illness feels:

being tired of having to live with themselves and their issues.

Welcome to the life of crippling anxiety, bitches. That was my life growing up, for decades. You don't like it? Imagine how I felt - and how everyone who suffers from it feels.

The theory of Alys raping Daemon by deceit dates back to 2023.

It remind me of Merlin transforming Uther Pendragon to look like Gorlois so that Uther could have sex with Ygraine, the wife of Gorlois, leading to the conception of Arthur. But in Alys’ case, the theory is that she somehow fucks up Daemon’s mind, make him hallucinating he has sex with Rhaenyra when in fact he’s being raped by Alys.

One of the most disgusting thing about this being true is that they basically turn a rape victim into a rapist, Alys was taken as a SPOIL OF WAR by Aemond, and in Tumbleton, F&B explain what this mean for women. And if they keep Alys’ pregnancy, the baby’s father is going to be Daemon ?? 💀

Yes, I commented about this back in 2023, too. ["alys rivers' characterization" tag]. It's funny, I was just contemplating Uther and Morgana, but didn't go into how he sires Arthur yet.

I guess for now, we'll just have to wait and see if it has just been people hating on HotD in lieu of its other writing & messed-up characterizations/flaws.
