Edwin's magic ???
Odd thing about Edwin’s magic use is, you’d sort of think he’d be better at it?
Very smart and studious, probably at this for twenty years or more but still gets the books out for each spell? We do stan a careful wielder of supernatural fuckery but ‘gestures towards the cats’ he is not that.
So, what if he is better than he seems?
What if the first spells he learnt were in Hell, and they are cruel. They are unavoidably cruel.
And he got out and met Charles.
Charles is good. Charles is kind. Charles literally died trying to stop a hate crime. Charles would surely be shocked and destressed were Edwin to use such unnecessarily cruel spells. So Edwin does not use those spells. He can learn others. He will learn others.
But it turns out overwriting the first magic you learnt is more difficult than that. He studies and he practices and still the first spell in mind is always from Hell. It is the fire that burns souls or the ice that forms inside skin or the bindings made of thorns. It is the cruel spell.
It would upset Charles, if Edwin were cruel. And Charles has the Bag, they can bring the books. He does not have to be cruel so he won’t be. And if that means checking every spell and its context before using it so be it. That can be done. There is no need to distress Charles.
(Charles would take his best mate slapping problems with a horrifically painful hogtie over Edwin ever getting hurt any day. But Edwin doesn’t ask.)
Maybe after Port Townsend Edwin finds that he can use the painless binding spell. Maybe a reset from Hell, or a side effect of the Cat King’s binding, or even Ester using it on him even if she made it cruel. Maybe he gets one bit of magic that can be gentle.
But maybe, one day, someone makes the mistake of taking Charles.
Charles cannot be distressed if he is not here, or whole, or well enough to notice what magic Edwin has cast. And then it is discovered that Edwin Payne is really rather good at magic.
Much to his distress.
#edwin payne#you can fit so many horrors in this bad boy#charles rowland#basicly one of those very smat herding dogs#very smart#full of love#point one hides point two#screw up the socialisation enough and they might do anything#except to their Person#which was Edwin for 30 years#he's willing to cut some slack#Edwin can enact the horrors#if he needs to#shouldn't have messed with Charles' Edwin#at some point Crystal finds out#magic lessons plus psykic powers equals fixing this shit#Edwin cries#and then Crystal cries#they never speak of it again

can you even call it a warm up if I'm going to bed without drawing anything big
and a sketch I made while sitting in the park today
#sketch#my art#bnha#shigaraki tomura#tenko shimura#all for one#midoriya izuku#bnha manga spoilers#only after I finished basically polishing this sketch did I notice how it's basically dark and light mode#also the first one is basically a redraw of illustration from vol 11#I know that translation of Tenko's words is different in official but eh#fanart#I've kind of recovered from recent chapters#and I was analysing those chapters all morning#I'm still thinking but otherwise the chapters are so good#also did you notice that AFO actually talked about how his other him didn't use that 'last thing' yet and that was in ch 410#and in ch 419 he did so it's real and it's still sad#but still AFO was never hiding it enough#from Tomura maybe but we as readers actually saw his plans play out#in any case I'm still just sitting with those two Izuku and Tenko interaction chapters#I waited long enough#and if you don't count AFO's return Izuku DID save Tenko and it's so interesting#since he now has to save his OTHER origin that was in ch 237 taught to kill whatever he wants#Tenko and Tomura both had 'origins' chapters and for now we only worked with 235 and 236#and even if Izuku helped with the start of 237 there's still AFO#in any case it was a hard week#also the second thing actually had them holding hands#and then I was like 'but at that point Izuku's hands are gone oh no'#and it was just Tenko holding air where the hand was destroyed#in any case that scene.

re last reblog I do see fanfic culture pushing/replicating a certain model of "what trauma looks like," "how trauma works"
this is a problem across all areas of society obviously, but transformative works are, well, transformative. they're about crafting and modifying narratives where the fan-creator sees a flaw or a lack -- often for the better! don't get me wrong, I've done my fair share of "I take a hammer and I fix the canon," it's the main thing that gets my creative gears spinning -- but what happens when that "flaw" is simply a narrative not conforming to popular expectations?
some people just don't get PTSD from events that sound obviously traumatic. they're not masking, and they're not coping; they just straight-up didn't get the permanently-locked stress-response that defines PTSD. they walk away from a horrible experience going "well, that sucked, but it's over now." some people do get PTSD from events most people wouldn't find traumatic. we don't really know why some people get PTSD and others don't. but fandom has an idea of events that must be traumatizing, of a "correct" way to portray trauma. you see the problems with this lack of understanding in e.g. fans pressuring the devs of Baldur's Gate 3 to add dialogue where the player character badgers Halsin about his own feelings on his abuse -- because he must be traumatized, and his trauma must fit a certain mold and presentation of sexual trauma, under the mistaken impression that anything outside that narrow window is somehow "wrong" and disrespectful or even harmful to survivors.
take, for another example, the very common trope of a traumatized character who hates touch or sex "learning" to like touch or sex as a part of their healing process. certainly that can be healing for some people; other people will never like, or want, touch or sex, because of trauma or because they just don't. the assumption that someone who doesn't want sex or doesn't like to be touched must be traumatized, must be suffering from this perceived lack, is seriously harmful -- to asexual people, to people with sensory issues around touch, and to people for whom healing from trauma means freedom to refuse sex or touch.
and there's a secondary trope, one that's slightly more thoughtful but ultimately repeats the problem -- that once someone has learned that their boundaries will be respected, they'll feel it's safe to soften those boundaries. once they feel safe refusing touch or sex, they'll feel comfortable allowing it on their own terms. but many people don't, and many people won't! many people will simply never want to be touched, and never want sex, and they are not suffering or broken or lacking because of it. the idea that proving you'll respect someone's boundaries entitles you to test those boundaries -- the paradox is obvious, and yet this is something i've seen hurt (re-traumatize) people i care for.
people are imperfect victims. people don't heal in the ways you expect. many people have positive memories of their abuse, of their abusers. many people hurt others in the course of their trauma, in ways that can't easily be unpacked in a 5k oneshot. very few narratives of trauma and recovery actually fit the ones put forward by popular children's media and romance novels -- which are the ones I most see replicated in fandom spaces, because they provide the clearest narrative and easiest catharsis, and so they're easy and soothing to reach for.
that's not necessarily a bad thing! i am not immune to goopy romance tropes. i am not immune to teary catharsis. not every fic has to grapple with ugly realities. but there's a problem when these narratives become predominant, when people think they're accurate and realistic depictions of trauma, when the truth of trauma is unpleasant and uncomfortable, and doesn't fit any single narrative, let alone one of comforting catharsis
#bird original#see also: the murderbot diaries#murderbot does not like to be touched. murderbot does not like touching other people#physical contact is an unpleasant necessity in emergencies or to feign being human (something murderbot also hates)#at one point murderbot uncomfortably offers a hug to someone it cares for because she's upset and needs one --#and she refuses. because she knows it doesn't really want to; she won't ask it to do something it hates for her benefit#& yet murderbot fic often has it learning that touch ~isn't so bad~ and maybe there are a COUPLE people it likes to cuddle with.#the differences between vash in the original trigun anime and trigun stampede --#tristamp!vash is your woobie who hides his sad and traumatized heart under goofy behavior;#who copes and avoids through silly indulgences#2011!vash ... is not that#2011!vash isn't coping or masking. he feels immense grief yes; he also feels immense joy; the two are inseparable#he pursues joy moment to moment because he knows how fleeting each moment is#he loves people so intensely because he knows that he'll lose them -- so he has no time to waste with them#his grief is real and profound; so is his joy#i find that much more compelling and i feel like that's not a character i'd see in today's media environment#anyway#fandom#trauma#fanfic#throwing a golden apple into the tags with this but fuck it we ball

Made a FANTASTIC discovery today regarding the meaning behind Boothill's fourth eidolon, I'm so happy!!! Most of it is just cowboy references, like
Eidolon 1: Dusty Trail's Lone Star- cowboy lingo, the Lone Star of Texas
Eidolon 2: Milestonemonger- more cowboy lingo, someone who roams and wanders
Eidolon 3: Marble Orchard's Guard- yet more cowboy lingo, a term for a graveyard (a fave of mine, because for me it evokes the image of a Church Grim <333)
Eidolon 4: Cold Cuts Chef- ????
Google didn't really provide much on Eidolon 4 like for the first three. Before today I had assumed it was just another movie reference of some sort, since Boothill is like entirely based on/inspired by old Western films.
"Cold cuts" are basically lunch meat/deli meat. It's precooked meat that doesn't need any kind of preparation- you can literally just eat it cold. Since it didn't seem to be a movie reference, I thought oh, maybe it's a nod to his lifestyle? Boothill is unhoused and lives on the run from the IPC with little rest, he doesn't really have the means to cook. Precooked, easy food like that would be a godsend for someone in his circumstances.
Anyway the original Chinese text gives it an entirely different, MUCH wilder meaning fjadskljfkld
love how they chose "celebrity chef" to show his expertise and/or fame in this fjkdlsja
Because no, "cold cuts" isn't cowboy lingo for anything, but cold meat specifically is.
It's how you refer to a corpse.
"Cold Cuts Chef" is not a title talking about his cooking ability, or his life's circumstances, or anything as mundane as that, IT'S ABOUT THE FACT THAT BOOTHILL SPECIALIZES IN DEALING DEATH, THIS MAN IS EXTREMELY SKILLED, AND GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES, AND WHAT HE DOES IS MURDER!!!!!
#AND I LOVE THAT FOR HIM!!!!!!#*dreamy sigh* there is so much blood on his hands#I love morally dubious men <3#honkai star rail#hsr#honkai star rail boothill#hsr boothill#boothill#I know this eidolon's title is not a reference to any form of cannibalism. I know that.#But GOD I hope that's an in-universe rumor that spreads about him through the lower ranks of the IPC grunts JFKDLASJDKLFJ#I think he would lean into it so hard. he would have so much fun with it.#Boothill is hiding in the shadows waiting for the right moment to strike. He's listening to these two grunts gossip about him.#'Wow did you hear about that crazy cowboy. I heard they found the bodies with pieces missing.' Boothill has the biggest grin.#'I heard one time they didn't find the bodies at ALL.' 'That's terrifying!' Boothill has to bite his scarf to keep from cackling.#He keeps telling himself no no he can't reveal himself yet he's waiting for the patrol switch he has a goal today!!#'Thank the Preservation this place is safe. I wouldn't wanna be off-planet with a scary guy like that wandering around-#-especially if he really is eating people.' 'Surely that's not true though right? ...Right?'#Well. Look the point is he held out as long as he could ok.#And unable to resist the temptation any longer Boothill melts out of the shadows from behind them#right in between the two of them#and his voice is practically right in their ears as he tells them#'What'd ya think I got the teeth for?'#run boys run KFLAJKLFDJSKLFJDKLSJFDK

im so fucking mad. why did i work so hard on this. there isnt even a single gay bitch in this image all i have is latticework and osmanthus studies
#arts#mottau#i mean i did enjoy drawing it. but also what the fuck#this is even sy's actual room yet this is a concept design for a room he will get later#like this is vaguely something i started drawing to conceptualize certain aspects of omega room design in this setting#but like at this point i could have explained more in three regular sentences#due to the potency of an omega's scent particularly in their living quarters certain aspects of their rooms are specially tailored#to contain their scent to the more personal parts of their living space. one could think of it as degrees of intimacy#with their bed area being the place their scent is allowed to fully saturate the space. the room divider here encloses the furniture needed#for dressing and whatnot as well for similar reasons and the curtain falling over it mimicking the canopy of the bed serves two functions#partially trapping in the scent and also adding an additional layer of 'hiding' to the nest area which makes it feel more secure#see? three sentences. that took five minutes to explain#i mean certainly the art looks niceys and all but im just so fucking perplexed. why did i do that

Go work off that debt Xie Lian! ....with an extra babysitting job.
Meme template for y'all under the cut + examples I made.
Anyway hopefully next episodes won't take too long. The thing is. The Ghost Groom arc is a lot longer than I remember. I'm still racking my brain over how the hell I'm gonna summarize it because I am not going every single instance
#poorly drawn tgcf#tgcf#xie lian#mu qing#feng xin#ling wen#Sorry if you didn't know fu yao and nan feng are just fx and mq in disguise#it's painfully obvious these two really only have a single braincell huh#even XL knows almost for certain from the get go but just played along with them#naturally in typical XL fashion he does not tell you this fact until like#book 7 or something. XL honey Ily but you're a little shit#guoshi must have gotten his white hair from raising both the lil shit that is XL and JW#rejoice soon hc will make his first (gay panic) appearance#dw LW and SQH (if u see him u get a cookie) will form a union at some point as they should#I continue to hide silly cameos from the other books in this#congrats to everyone who correctly identified Jiang Cheng in the last one LMAO#He isn't the only one though! there is a svsss character cameo in ep 1 as well#If anyone identifies it correctly and comments or tags it#I'll make a lil extra doodle#inconsistent artstyle??? more likely than you think#I hope I can make it a lil more appealing#idk it just doesnt click with me yet but we'll see#I mainly took inspiration from the manhua designs for MQ and FX#and then complitely pulled the colors out of my arse lmfao

FEAR and LOVE (I'm not sure there is a difference!)
#bill cipher#gravity falls#the book of bill#this is not a website dot com#what's the point of bill being able to clone himself if i don't get to use it for symbolism#i'm normal about him i am dissecting him like a bug#some of the colour code is obscured but by that point it can be figured out with context as a passage from the book#given not everyone has access to the book/a transcript etc. i'll hide the translation in the tags#prismatic canvas#eyestrain#glitch#just in case#okay so. two of the ciphers are from the patient file from the website under well well well being:#“greatest love: himself” at the very top in colour code and “greatest fear: himself” at the bottom in the theraprism cipher#the rest is from the plan page from the book of bill:#You wanted your life to have meaning – this is it!#YOURE IN IT WITH ME RIDE OR DIE FOR THE ULTIMATE PRIZE#EVERYONE WILL FEAR YOU!#YOU’LL EVEN FEAR YOURSELF!#AND UNLIKE THAT BACKSTABBER SIXER YOU WON’T BACK DOWN WHEN THE KITCHEN GETS HOT#RIGHT RIGHT#I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION#ARE YOU WITH ME?

oot/mm link is so fucked up like.
you are a 10 year old child, living with other children, and you are different from them. you don’t know how.
you are a child, and you have found other children, supposedly like you.
you watch as your newest friend is torn from you, leaving only an ocarina and knowledge of a sword behind.
you pull the sword from its pedestal and the world goes white.
when you awaken, you are a child in a 17 year old’s body, and the world has turned to ruin in your absence.
you are a child in an adult’s body, yet you begin your quest to defeat the evil that took your friend from you.
you have gotten used to being in a 17 year old’s body, but the first friend you made in your new world has just sent you back to relive the childhood he believes was stolen from you, without even asking your permission. he does not know you’ve gotten used to this life.
you remember your previous life, in this new one. he would not have known.
you are 9 years old. you are an adult in a child’s body.
you face a demon puppeting a child’s body.
you have three days until the moon crashes. the moon crashes. you play a tune, and you have three days until the moon crashes.
you try not to think of yourself when you look at the skull kid, wearing the mask of the demon controlling them.
you try not to think of them when you tear the souls from others and craft them into masks. the agony of donning them is enough.
you do not know how old you are. you are 9 years old. you do not know how many times you have lived three days. you are not 9 years old.
you hold the power of a god in your hands.
you wear the power of a god on your face. you are a god in a child’s body.
you do not know what you are.
#my post#yes i he/him oot sheik. he didnt NEED to trans his gender when he went into hiding. but he did.#anyway#my timeline is#oot link was 10 and he aged up to 17 upon pulling the master sword. (pulled from the fact in botw 17 is considered adulthood)#mm link was around 8 or 9 when he was like ‘yeah no i cant wait any longer i know what’s coming and i wanna stop it NOW.’#so he did that and then mm takes place when he’s 9#this is all just physically ofc#mentally he’s probably closer to 20-25 at this point#then ofc mm happens and Who Knows how long he was stuck in termina. and then the power of the fierce deity… he becomes the fierce deity?#how old is a god?#so he’s been around for ??? years timeloop included. and fierce deity is ???????? years old. and link himself is somewhere between those two#(the number of question marks used is indicative of how old relatively they are to each other)#the legend of zelda#ocarina of time#majora’s mask#i love oot/mm. would love to play it one day. (ive started oot but hit a roadblock rly early on)

Ok, here's an Idea I've had:
U said you coded gravel back into the game right? Well, why not code one of lilacpaw's Siblings into the game! It would Cool to see!
(btw, this is just a suggestion!)
Coding a character in seems to me like a much more involved and complicated process that id rather not bother with at all, as opposed to literally just changing “dead: true” to “dead: false” in the games files. I really don’t wanna bother lol
#aphidasks#also I only have two characters that are the alder x Titania x pigeon kids#sometimes it’s like you guys expect me to have an entourage of other characters that I haven’t shown you yet#and I do have lots planned that you haven’t seen yet!#but never in the areas you guys ask me about#and it’s like#‘there’s nothing there. there’s only going to be vapid air there for the rest of time’#‘I’m not hiding some new surprise over there and i really don’t want to do all the work#of creating a whole ass new character and storyline around them#to fill the void you’re searching for’#new characters will come when they come man idk#I don’t have anything else to offer you guys in terms of throuple kittens#oleander and lilac are the only ones I’ve ever written and created#there’s never gonna be any others in the comic#that’s like#the one area I can confirm is a dead spot to search#that’s all speaking in general it’s not pointed at you specifically right now for this ask#all this to circle back around to the actual ask itself: even if I did want to code in a character#I literally have nothing to code in so what is the point

motivating myself to go out to vote by picking the text posts that i can make new memes with later when i come back. literally like my mom telling me as a kid we can get mcdonalds after some less than exciting activity, but this time it's me, myself and a presidential election
#i've been hiding in my bedroom for two hours at this point#still wearing my going-outside clothes#keep wondering if it's generally normal to be this nervous about going to vote#one can imagine it is not#maybe somewhere else#chattering

i don't know how to be merely acquaintances when we used to be friends. or i think we used to be. i don't know how to yearn for a simple hello when you've been heaping your affection on me months ago, and i don't know how to talk to you when you won't say anything. when suddenly it's all about me. you know i have nothing to say, you know my brain is void of everything but horribleness and i cannot tell you about my day because i don't even know about my day. i cannot tell you about my day when i know you won't listen, when i know you'll apply your philosophy to my world and don't believe me when i say that everything is terrible. i don't know how to be the person you seem to think i am, or the person you want in your life. i don't know if you want anyone else in your life now that you're in love and sappy, found another recipient for your affections, leaving me empty and wounded and yearning.
you said you missed me. said it many times, while i was gone. now i'm back, have been back, and i wonder how you missed me, why you missed me, when you won't talk to me. i think you mistook missing for worrying. i think you mistook caring for a feeling of obligation. i think you like missing me more than talking to me.
and i think i can't breathe with how much that hurts
#how do you miss me when you won't talk to me? how do you like me so much and then go to just. not?#how did i let you in when i try so hard not to let people do that because i know that once they get past the walls all i'll be left with#is the idea of them rotting and withering inside me. polluting the space i create to keep myself safe.#why does everyone leave? leave in silence too. leaving behind so many questions and so many words engraved in my brain#i am so tired of *grieving* when those i grieve are still alive and well and thriving and i'm reminded that it's versions of myself#that i'm grieving instead. how do you grieve yourself? how do you not fucking fall apart over it?#just. fucking talk to me. don't make it be true that all i'll ever be is nothingness and the memory of someone you liked once#but never never never liked enough#i'm so so cold already. i'm a shell. i want to be warm again but it always leaves me so hollow and hurting#i grieve the dio who was warm. i grieve them i miss them i am so so angry that he had to leave. to hide. with no way out#i'm happy for you. i'm happy you're happy. but you're no better than anyone else and it makes me want to run away again#but i have nowhere else to run and no one else to be. and it's so fucked that it doesn't matter who i am i'll never be enough#for someone to just. stay. to see me and to stay. to hear me and to sit and listen and just. just fucking stay.#maybe i'm not worth staying for. maybe there's nothing to know nothing to hear nothing to see nothing to listen to nothing to find#maybe all i'll ever get is one/two good months paid for with a lifetime of grief. and i'm at the point where i don't want the good months#anymore with you or anyone else who tears down these walls with affection that is so endlessly addictive and leaves me yearning.#on the off chance that it will keep the grief away too. but that's the thing about grief isn't it? it's here to stay. unlike you#god this is so fucked up and i'll delete this later but for now i just need to. let it out. poe said i should make a side blog for the grie#but poe's not there anymore. poe has stopped starting fires. so this goes on main until shame makes me take it down#blah#personal#not st
