okay but this update brings me back to melinoë's "with me or against me" view that she seems to have. people like eris, scylla, or prometheus who stand in her way are labelled as "enemy" and she can't really see things from their pov (eris especially is fascinating to see interact with melinoë because mel just cannot figure out or understand her motives). those who support her are labelled as friends. and it's pretty clear to see why she thinks this way when you look at what hecate and odysseus have to say. both of them pretty clearly hate chronos, and both of them had a large hand in raising melinoë. hecate especially was the one who trained melinoë from a really young age to kill chronos specifically, and she's the one mel looks up to the most (she sees hecate as a mother figure despite hecate wanting anything but).
what i find MOST fascinating is how melinoë just... doesn't really know how to handle nuance when it comes to friends vs. enemies. take arachne for example. there is a part in hades 2 when arachne just gets really bitter that melinoë is not only being helped by the olympians, but is helping them in turn. melinoë has absolutely NOTHING to say to arachne during that time (unless they added more dialogue in with the update). she doesn't know what to do when her friends are at odds with each other because of past conflicts, or how to address them. it goes against her black-and-white thought process and how she handles her morals.
#hades 2#hades 2 spoilers#shaking her. she's such a fascinating character#she reminds me a lot of those heart of gold action heroes. yknow the ones who are so sure in their morals and in their actions#and that what they're doing is the right thing#except here they're written in this nuance into the story where you can kinda see things from everyone's side#no one's entirely in the right or in the wrong. melinoë included#i love flawed protagonists!!!!!!!

something about how both wei wuxian and jin guangyao repeatedly say they ‘didn’t have a choice’ in their actions. in both cases, it’s not literal impossibility, instead determined by their mindsets and personal conduct…. but while for wei wuxian that means he can’t do something immoral, even if it means losing all his social power, for jin guangyao it means he can’t do anything to lose his social power, even if it means doing something immoral. the other option is still there, but it’s never one they’d pick.
something about how they’re trying to walk the same path but in opposite directions: wei wuxian willingly left the nice, broad road in favour of upholding morals and debts, while jin guangyao is trying to claw onto it and stay there by any means necessary. in both cases, being parted from it so easily is only possible because this nice, broad road — full of people whose social power is unconditional, given at birth, independent of their actions — was never truly theirs to begin with. but despite how it is possible to be forced off due to nothing, as we see with wang lingjiao, the positions of both these characters were ultimately due to actions they took.
(about how no matter the similarity of the paths, no matter the narrowness of the choices, the direction you take is still up to you.)
#i’m a little insane about this metaphor in case you couldn’t tell#also clarification: ‘immoral’ for the case of wwx means something against his personal morals (a major example would be giving up the wens)#whereas for jgy i mean ‘something generally against most people’s morals eg killing his son and participating in torture’#since he doesn’t really HAVE personal morals and his goals are independent on that#but phrasing it like this is much less awkward…#anyway i LOVE the theme of choice here — how everyone *does* have one but aims/morals influence that to the point that choosing a certain-#-option SEEMS like an impossibility#but you still are responsible/should be responsible for those choices (see: the story justfully questioning jgy’s ‘i had no choice’ line)#so jgy WAS responsible for his choices (and wwx *could’ve* also chosen to do what’s easier — not giving up the gc not protecting the wens)#(but didn’t and that’s to his credit)#despite the circumstances for both being unideal it’s still your choice IN the circumstances — not the circumstances — that determine what-#-kind of person you are#mdzs meta (?)#pretty sure it counts but i also know i’ve been taking up a lot of this tag recently…#mdzs#魔道祖师#mo dao zu shi#grandmaster of demonic cultivation#gdc#wei wuxian#jin guangyao#my meta (?)

psa that the day there are no jgy stans left on tumblr dot com is the day i am dead
but rest assured i'll go to my grave exactly as i lived: obnoxiously proclaiming to everyone within earshot how great lianfang-zun is. narratively, metaphorically, spiritually. sexually, too, like why limit myself. i like to keep my options open
#the spirit of su minshan possessed me for a minute there but like. i'm fine with it#jin guangyao#he did crimes??? good for him 😌#editing this post to add that while the tone here is clearly joking#i really am fundamentally still engaged with this fandom#and with this book#almost exlcusively because of my enjoyment of jgy#even xiyao is secondary for me like i love it and i'm ride or die for it obvs#but jgy as a character is the main draw for me. and he would have me by the throat even if there was no zewu-jun#(tho i think jgy's life would be more depressing for his absence obviously)#but he is just. /clenches my fists!!!#THE most compelling character in the story and i cannot stop thinking about him!! cannot will not!!#who else in this book has his range? who else can be the doe-eyed idealist AND the spy with blood on his hands who ends a war?#who else is two different greek tragedies and at least two separate shakespearean tragedies rolled into one antagonist#an antagonist who but for the POV of the novel could very easily have been the protagonist#whose moral event horizon is so deeply entwined with his own trauma and abuse that there is no way to meaningfully separate#the violence he does to others from the systemic violence that was done to him for his whole life?#who else in this book manages to get five separate sect leaders utterly obsessed with him no matter how you choose#to interpret that obsession?#no one!!! that's who!!#ain't no one else in the jianghu doing it like lianfang-zun and that's just a goddamn fact

Félix: kidnapping is a love language Kagami: you have no social skills, idiot
*two weeks later*
Félix: okay, so when Marinette's at her most vulnerable, I'll gaslight her into thinking I'm her boyfriend, so she'll follow me into an abandoned building where we can put her in an altered mental state and present to her my family's life story in the imaginable most cryptic play of theater she has ever seen, which will reveal to her our horrible secret and the fact that her abusive father-in-law is also her arch-nemesis Kagami: you're so big brained, bae 🥰
#I LOVE THEM BUT GOD THAT WAS THE LEAST SELF-EXPLANATORY WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS#fucking theater kids /lh#miraculous ladybug#ml spoilers#ml representation#ml representation spoilers#maybe they do team up nicely with Marinette because can ever be simple sfdgdfhgjfhg#I'm so pumped for the final ohmygodddd#also did you know I wrote a story in highschool where the son of the villain revealed his family's true nature to the MC#in a cryptic fairy tale. where he assigned his father as the evil prince who moved into the king's family and married the pricess#who ended up comatose and waiting for revival?#the moral of the story is we're all insane here and I cannot believe I literally wrote 30k about this#and not have the gall to diss on feligami they are the MVPs fgdhjdfhgfjgk#also props for being so much more useful going about this whole thing than Luka <3

taco from inanimate insanity but instead of snapping at the end of season one she actually kept up her persona so she could live in hotel oj. it's alright at first, but she's so fed up with acting dumb that it's really hard for her to stay in character and it starts to stress her out. one day taco gets sick or smth. she sneezes and lets out the most british "BLOODY HELL." ever. it's so weirdly out of character but in character at the same time that it's not even questioned beyond a simple "what" so taco was just able to live the rest of her life in hotel oj with her actual personality without needing to explain anything
#taco ii#inanimate insanity#i came up w this while listening to that one taco season one ii comp wiyh QKThr by apex twin playing in the background#moral of the story: never let me listen to taco season one ii comp with QKThr by apex twin playing in the background#fizz yammers#osc#ii#i don’t know what i’m doing#taco ii season one#i don't even know if i explained the idea properly but maybe that makes it funnier#that's a lie i don't find things funny if they don't make sense i'm sorry#something cool here#she's still sane after losing season one because she just steals from oj every now and then#gets away with nothing more than a devastated “please stop” because “that's just taco ig”#it's been like. a month since i've visited tumblr? hi guys

ngl I think it’s fun how little internal sense the chronology of the Trojan War makes. Eris threw the Apple of Discord at the wedding of Thetis and Peleus, which is what prompted Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera to demand the Judgement of Paris, and Aphrodite promised Paris the love of the most beautiful women in the world, who was Helen, who was already married, which is what started the Trojan War. But Achilles, son of Thetis and Peleus, was one of Helen’s suitors who swore the oath to defend her. And when the Trojan War was beginning (was threatening to begin?), Thetis hid Achilles among the women of Skyros, where he and Deidamia had a son, Pyrrhus/Neoptolemus. But when Achilles died in the ninth year of the Trojan War, Neoptolemus was old enough to fight in it. These things happen at mythic scales under mythic logic, it doesn’t really hang together, you just gotta go with it
#tagamemnon#Not even getting into Diomedes’s age and timeline. It’s mythic. It’s fine#Love the implication that Hera Athena and Aphrodite were arguing about the apple thing for at LEAST sixteen or so years#before going to Paris to have him judge#long enough for Achilles to grow up and be a viable suitor for Helen’s hand#The moral of the story here is that they should have done that sooner while Helen was still unmarried

its prosecutor jiang wanyin!!!! oh fuck!!! / gifs + au rambling below the cut / follow for more mdzs x aa crossover stuff :3
all the gifs i made (poses traced off franziska):
hes so similar to franziska when you think about it. theyre both deeply insecure tsundere adoptive younger sibling of successful main characters. who carry whips. something something edgeworth choosing death and wwx actually dying also
his share code is HWFEFF if you wanna use him in a trial! you can't share backgrounds but heres the scenery from the donghua i used.
the easiest way to put custom stuff into objection.lol is to send it in discord and then use the link from opening it in your browser :)
a whole lot of AU stuff
the art im making is for if mdzs was an ace attorney game, playing from WWX's POV to solve various mysteries/cases over the course of the plot. so this scene would be from turnabout goddess, which would loosely cover the dafan mountain mystery.
cases include:
Turnabout Revenge (Mo Manor, quick introductory first case)
Turnabout Goddess (Dafan mountain, the good times flashback)
Turnabout Saber (the man-eating castle (omg hiii nhs))
The Blind Turnabout (Yi City arc)
Turnabout Deviation (the Koi Tower conference, Empathy on NMJ ala turnabout memories or beginnings. opening cutscene is his qi deviation)
The Blood-Soaked Turnabout (second Burial Mounds siege, flashbacks: Xuanwu, Sunshot, YLLZ, Nightless City massacre)
Turnabout Lotus Seeds (testimony about JGY, tree scene, golden core reveal, bathtub scene. opening cutscene could be JGS' death but that would make it canon rather than ambiguous)
Turnabout Confession (Guanyin temple)
the problem with splitting novel!mdzs into turnabouts is that flashbacks are a huge chunk of the book but they don't have mysteries/ cases to solve so they've gotta be lumped together with present day stuff. imo? many of the flashbacks would likely have to be abridged so they could be retold ala DL-6, SL-9, or the fourth grade incident, where characters talk about it over some pieces of art. this is really difficult when theres a metric ton of unspoken, complex, and signifcant history between every character lmao
there's not as much of a problem with the cql timeline but i have not finished it. so.
the opening cutscenes in ace attorney always show the murder and/or the murderer plotting. the first cutscene of the game would be MXY summoning WWX, muttering about getting revenge on his family (it would also be good for him to mention the yllz being dead because that's how the novel starts.) cut to WWX's POV as he wakes up covered in blood and the investigation segment begins.
for investigations of monsters (goddess, saber, etc) the cutscene would be a scene of some poor throwaway cultivator getting their shit wrecked.
it would be cool to make a breakdown for JGY but again I need to review that scene cause I don't know who I'd base him on. maybe Vasquez or Dahlia.
tell me your thoughts!! i'm working off of a mdzs summary/ skimming the novel because i don't remember it too well so if i get anything wrong please yell at me
Jin Ling's sprites & Nie Huaisang's sprites / masterpost
#PLEAAAASE send it to me if you do actually use my animations in a case🥺#here im adapting mdzs to aa gameplay rather than making a mdzs AU where they are lawyers#so jiang cheng is not a prosecutor in this hes just angry. and on the right side of the screen#that man has not graduated law school but then again no one in ace attorney has either#the names are based off of how ace attorney cases are either named after a distinctive item/location (bigtop bridge samurai etc)#or the main emotional/character type thing that happens (goodbyes reminiscence farewell)#the mdzs/aa au where the stories get blended (ie my tags on the nhs post) is very interesting but i would have to think about it very hard#and i dont want to . i would rather think about what the court record would look like (its full of severed limbs)#MDZS' EXPLORATIONS OF MORALITY MAKE ME CHEW ON ROCKS#urrgh i got carried away writing this post & wrote a couple hundred words comparing aa and mdzs' attitudes towards morality & public opinio#i could write an essay on this topic tbh.#can i call this an au? its the same story in the same universe just in a different format. hmm#mdzs#aa#art#mo dao zu shi#ace attorney#grandmaster of demonic cultivation#cql#the untamed#jiang cheng#jin ling#objection.lol#flashing image tw#pixel art#animation#my art#franziska von karma#i guess??#mdzs aa au

wow this post got depressing really fast. sorry
if you think about it. if you were just some random no-name cultivator who somehow got invited to the phoenix mountain night-hunt, and you heard something about 1. hanguang-jun of the sterling reputation, 2. wei wuxian the demonic cultivator already flouting social norms, and 3. a forced kiss....which would you believe? that lan wangji forcibly kissed wei wuxian? or that wei wuxian forcibly kissed lan wangji?
depressing thoughts.
#mdzs#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#lan wangji#not tagging the ship bc i heard there was discourse about this scene#anyways god this started out as a funnypost but got depressing real quick#sa mention cw#yanyan polls#anyways. “comforts” here probably just means a mix of giving wwx food#and going “do you want me to break his legs” “who's legs” “uhhhh nevermind”#also more seriously. imo jc negotiating a marriage between wang and xian as a result of witnessing this would in fact be morally despicable#bc jc doesn't know if wwx is also interested. so from his own pov he would be selling his shixiong to the guy who forced himself on him...#come on jc don't do that#if he talks to wwx and wwx is into it tho. well that's a different story. then that's just wwx's questionable proclivities

another Vital AU hunter-and-camila thought from this morning was a thought of, like. camila very very very gently and carefully explaining that she'd like luz to get a basic physical done by a doctor in the human realm, because luz has not been seen by a human doctor since she was four and is overdue for ten million vaccines and desperately needs bloodwork to check her vitamin and thyroid levels, etc, etc, etc, and hunter is like. visibly freaked out and upset by this. bc he is SO afraid of strangers hurting luz.
anyway. that's all pretty much expected, on account of The Horrors.
what got me in my feelings was the thought of camila telling hunter that she has a lot of the same worries, and that she Knows not all human healers have good intentions, and that she Promises she'll take that into account when finding one for luz. because she does not want luz to get hurt.
hunter, naturally, is like "how.... do you know that....?" and camila is like ay dios mio. HOW do i explain medical racism or the united states..... to a boy.... with no concept of racism or the united states.....
#not that i think she has perfect tumblr-style praxis vocab for it anyway. however#it would be disingenuous for me to pretend that being an afro-latina woman in a 2010s/2020s political climate does not impact her#characterization here. camila has a lot of Big Parent Fears that are Extremely Reasonable.#hunter doesn't know the history of course but it makes camila's caution about luz line up spectacularly with his own. so that's something#ultimately i think she'd just tell him that she's known people who were affected by bad human healers#and that human healing isn't any more perfect or morally pure than the healing coven.#given that explaining the minutiae is. A Much Longer Story.#i've been thinking about camila a lot lately. both in this AU and in the canon i just...#i LOVE when there's One Character who's grounded in Being Fucking Normal. it's Wonderful#the straight man of fantasy bits. camila is worrying about her daughter's college tuition and her mortgage while battling magical bullshit#she's Perfect.#toh#princess luz au#camila noceda#hunter toh#horrible mindscape trauma pals#racism#medical abuse#medical malpractice

thinking about a caretaker who gets sick a lot accidentally passing along most of their sicknesses to a whumpee who's pretty far along in their physical recovery so when they're both sick they end up taking care of each other because they're pretty much in the same exact condition
#i love my friends but they always end up passing all their sicknesses to me#i normally have like 3 colds a year and rn im on my fourth or fifth in just the past 5 months 😭#my allergies are also definitely amplifying symptoms but the moral of the story is its rough out here 😔#whump#whump prompt#whump prompts#whump writing#whump idea#whump blog#whump scenario#tw whump#whump tw#writing prompts
