You thought I wasn't going to draw the old men, huh? Wrong. I had to draw them.♡

This year 2024, a bunch of people in the DGM fandom gathered for a secret santa event-- or a Secret Lero Gift event rather! I made one for cylinderhat/ms_anya. They're on Twitter! please show their amazing art some love!

I was given the prompt of Mana organizing a play and making everyone participate and this somehow turned into playing a little bit of dress up with the characters. (Yes, that is an interpretation of a 'younger' Cross in a dress. And yes, it was fun to design!)

Happy Holidays everyone and may the year ahead be promising and wonderful!

My last page— an iconic moment for the red & mana arc, for @dgm20thproject

I got too excited about drawing red and mana and especially the apo guy that I completely forgot about cosimov and the ringmaster and the potion and ahhh so much. By the time I realized it was two days from the deadline and I had no will power to do so much drawing in ~1.5 days. This is also the first time I’ve drawn two characters interacting with each other!

I really wanted to have apocryo guy towering over everyone else and for him to look very unsettling. Maybe I succeeded too much..? He’s the one literally pulling the strings. And to contrast that with a very warm but sad hug between red and mana. Road and cross are looking behind both suit and red and mana because they’re both just observing the situation. Red’s arm is to the side because it important but what’s more important is the love that mana has for red 🥹

I should’ve add cosimov holding the viel ToT

This is my favorite piece personally, but I think most people liked page 112 more :’)

Looking at it again in two month, I cannot get over how out of place the apo guy looks, so here’s some remixes and close ups (the canvas is 4.2k by 6.2k pixel lol) because the details got crunched

there's some internet debate about robbie williams and why he's not big in the us and ppl saying they've never heard of him. actually u have heard of him. the song 'millennium' was big on vh1, i think? bc i know the words to that. and i know 'rock dj' and i dont know why i know 'rock dj'. it's in a movie but i don't remember which one. definitely a big british movie but i cant remember which one. either way we have heard of him. uk didn't make him up. i thought we all watched derry girls and learned who Take That was. bc that was not a made up boyband.

Last Line Tag L

holy shit thats fifty last lines. damn ANYWAY i was tagged by the lovely @writingrosesonneptune!! thank you so much :D

this bit is from the end of an isa POV chapter in goddess-touched <3 can't think of content warnings off the top of my head rn but it involves loud arguing with an old woman about the death penalty

“But you didn’t think for a fucking second in the last two months that it might be fucking helpful to know who was helping her?” Lakia’s words crack like a whip, the plants all around the courtyard writhing along with her anger, thorns growing out of tomato vines and carrot sprigs and even the walls, as the wood paneling revives itself with her rage. “They’re dead,” Xavi snaps, arms crossed tightly under his cloak as his foot taps relentlessly on the glass of the clockface in the ground. “It’s done. You could be putting all this--” he waves to the garden “--to something more productive, kid.” “If they’re dead,” she spits, “the world needs to know their names so we can fucking drag them through every pile of mud and shit that ever has been and ever will be. And if they’re not--” “Then what?” Mags says, the paper-bead bracelets on her wrists rattling as she folds her arms and sticks up her chin. “Tell me, what would you want us to do? Kill them?” She tsks. “You don’t want a world where the government can do that on such short notice.”

i'll tag @vacantgodling, @writeblrfantasy, @sleepyowlwrites, @authoralexharvey, and @ashen-crest!! as always, absolutely 0 pressure to play, and this doubles as an open tag if you've been looking for an excuse and/or want me to see what you have to share <3

Alright so I want to talk about some fandom stuff since I've been getting back into it with a few people/places. It seems like some old issues are still kind of around. The biggest thing is we all have been in this thing for a while, and it's been so slow I think we've all kind of made our own theories and views we keep most of the time. We all then "check in" when chapters do actually come out and since we are all very invested in the story and in more closed groups the rest of the time there is conflict.

Now I'm well past being upset by differences in story interpretation. We can all enjoy dgm without agreeing on everything, especially all the unrevealed stuff. I don't like it all the time, but it's perfectly fine.

What's bugging me most is there seems to be some inconsistency to how people treat certain characters/ideas. There is A LOT of headcanonning and fans of the past! crew like Allen, Nea, and Mana as well as Cross(and bookman Jr if you interpret them as separate, though I personally do not). People get very defensive of their relationships and circumstance when it comes to debate. This is on its own not so great, but not particularly a problem either. Trust me, I get character offense.

I'll just cut to the point and say it though, the main reason this becomes a problem is people seem to care about characters in order of attractiveness. I've been a fan of The Earl/Adam since almost the beginning of the series, and it's been hell. People have never treated him with the same care or thought they do to other characters, despite him being very central and important to the story. I'll also say before anything more that no, he's not more amoral than the other villains, so that doesn't matter here.

Being disinterested would be one thing, but it's usually more than that. When this stuff started it was just basically calling him Hitler(pre mana stuff) and treating him much worse than the other Noah(like tyki). Later on, when his human form was revealed, people jumped into basically replacing him with mana. Let me be clear, I don't mean they realized the connection. I mean they were actively ignoring the current character(personality/goals/identity) in favor of mana walker or Campbell's personality, and would only reasonably talk about the earl in context of Nea or Allen in the past. Memory loss or no, the actual earl was treated as a non-character that only existed as a way to recreate other characters. The stuff around 219 was especially rough as most people did not even consider what the earl said or felt, it was just about Sad Mana Is Confused TM and should go back to being like him right now. This was done with no consideration of Mana's feelings towards Adam or Adam's feelings towards Mana.

Now that we have confirmation from hoshino that there is a third entity, that his name is adam, and that he's basically past!earls Noah memories+suit as well as having his own autonomy and personality, people are still treating him poorly. I have had people assert to me he doesn't have a soul OR separate personality and isn't the earl(?) because Mana is. Now that he can be separated from Mana, it's back to treating him as Evil and Not A Person. He's an AI or a machine or fake in some way, despite him basically being the only character we've ever known as the earl. Those same people also assumed, somehow, that when the story said the earl was being used by the other Noah without his knowledge that he was somehow Not Included and was actually both aware and part of this betrayal on Mana. That's not to say there is no crossover with Mana, because they've shared a body for some time and Mana is his host after all, etc. That doesn't excuse these behaviors though.

And all of that nonsense is because frankly, people don't want to bone him. They look at his design(suit form usually, but not always) and immediately assume Evil and Gross despite the story's themes, writing, and Hoshino's own words against it. Ive literally had people say as much, especially when talking about shipping. He is actively pushed away from character groups or dynamics people actually talk about. The only other character treated even remotely similar are characters that don't like Allen(like chaoji, some of you must have been around long enough to remember the hate he got at the time) and/or are perceived as not attractive(like apo or Leviare). I don't think it's justified there either.

It's just really getting me down that a really well written and interesting character that is quintessential to the narrative is basically shit on, while people clutch their pearls if Cross or Allen's back stories are a little different than they expected. I expect this from young teens and the like but this fandom has frankly aged out of that a long time ago and it's not cute anymore

In a silly goofy mood, one might say...

[centralkvetchmonolith]

Genuine questions: why is it useful to hold (the negation of) this as a blanket statement? What is the meaning of "queer" here? Why is that attractive to every single person encapsulated by "aros", such that saying otherwise is to be threatened with death? What *is* universal to the experience of aromantic people, such that they all by default fit the meaning of "queer"? I can think of defensible, meaningful, internally consistent answers to all those questions, but I think the people reblogging this should also do that. It's important to always have a thread back to "what does The Discourse mean?"

Cuz this has approximately the same vibes (i.e. inherent bearing on normal people's lives and reflection of the material experience of queerness (or, in the upcoming example, Christianity)) as "'The Son isn't consubstantial with the Father-' GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE"

"Aros aren't queer-" GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE GUILLOTINE

[courfeyrac-apaladin]

It had been centuries, nearly a millennium since he was turned, way back in the 200s AD, he’d been initiated into vampirism by a fellow druid a friend and former lover who he still kept in touch with from time to time when they crossed paths. He’d seen empires rise and fall, civilizations become extinct. He had fallen in love with mortals, only to have them refuse the gift of immortality and grow old and die before his eyes, or take it and then grow tired of him and move on. He had sworn off of being romantically involved with humans, he stayed in the shadows, hunted those who deserved to die, and watched humans from afar. Except on this night, when he like a few other times in the cold months sucked into a cafe, desperate to feel warm again as he had felt beside the dire with his kin when he was a human.

Courfeyrac was only planning to stay at the cafe for a few moments, but as the air got colder he decided he was going to make the most of the warm cafe and the hot coffee. When he heard the door open and a very handsome man walk in, he was very pleased with his decision. He watched him with a smile, waiting to see if the man was staying before he would approach.

I have a new theory set myself and one of my partners has come up with. Currently working on drafting and adding sources for it, but hopefully it will be up in a few days. I can't promise anything but if all goes well I may be more active in the coming weeks
