A New Era

Thank you for all the versions of myself who got me to where I am today.

“Baela shrieks with her father’s anger.”

“Jace the closest to Aemond in age —”

“Aemond puts his hands around Luke’s throat, throttling him.”

“You will die screaming in flames just as your father did.”

“…comes at Aemond, who readies the big rock.”

“He counters, smashing Jace’s face in with the rock.”

I’m gonna knock some teeth out ‘closest to Aemond in age’ and he was canonically 6 to Aemond’s 10. Jace and Luke were the only ones really involved with the fight in the book, and it’s stated multiple times that Aemond had the clear advantage over them and was beating them ruthlessly. It was a clear power play on his part that quickly turned sour because the younger brother feared for both his and his older brothers life (as he should, the kid was 5 fucking years old).

I know why they added the Dragon Twins to the fight, and it was solely to infantilize Aemond even further than they already had (and demonize the girls and the Velaryon boys in turn). Sure, I’m supposed to feel sorry for him because he was bullied for not having a dragon (boo fucking hoo); but I’m not supposed to feel sorry for the twins after they just lost their mother, considering how quickly that storyline was left in the dust to further Aemond’s. I’m not supposed to feel sorry for the woman and kids who were targeted purely due to their blood/gender (but that doesn’t matter ofc just that they’re bastards and harming poor helpless trueborn baby Aemond how dare they).

The agenda being pushed in the show is obviously full of microagressions against these kids — the Velaryons were made into POC just to make certain the audience knew that Rhaenyra’s first three children were bastards, and Baela and Rhaena were added to the fight to show them as the ‘true’ aggressors to the entire situation. It didn’t matter that they had lost their mom recently, it didn’t matter that they didn’t even know who Aemond was. They had one of the last living relics of their mother stolen out from under them by this random kid who immediately insults them to their faces for having the audacity to be upset, but HE is the victim here. Jace had just found out about Harwin being his bio dad and then lost him within a short amount of time. He was being openly mocked and told he and his baby brother were going to die in the exact same way at Aemond’s hand. But no, no! Don’t jump to the obvious conclusion; AEMOND is the victim here.

Four grieving children reacted on their extremely volatile emotions, with one acting on fear alone, and it ended poorly for all parties involved— who would’ve thought?

Maka and Death the Kid in the anime: the rational and smart ones

Maka and Death the Kid in the manga:

Maka eating Hot chip in the passenger seat: "why are you driving so slow"

Kid driving and going 80 mph with free bird playing on the radio: "Watch this drift"

Soul and Liz in the backseat: "we're gonna fucking die"

Being a merlin fan since you were 5 is wild... Like how do you explain that you've been watching the same show for 15 years. I blame it on them ruining Christmas with the S5 ending when I was 10 LIKE I WAS TEN YEARS OLD AND YOU DID THAT. I remember the S5 trailers pre it coming out with the magic reveal teased. I was chewing at my sofa I swear, ten years old eating a sofa. How dare. Like literally I remember my nan being mad at the ending and us all watching Atlantis only to get blue ballsed again. Anyway rant over, I am very normal about this show 🕴️

I should have probably looked at a reference for people sitting around a campfire for the lighting… I’m still figuring out my approach when using watercolors for highlights and strong shadows

Also here’s the whole squad :3 I’m trying to keep this story to a more typical quest, but with some eldritch notes to it

Left to right: Lovis, Mimmi, [???], Salman, and no name yet for the lady on the right

I'm honestly surprised the MILGRAM innos didn't go crazier. It could have reinforced their worst biases, like Shidou's disregard for lives and depression. It looked like it affirmed his "I'm useful to society" and his drive instead.

Makes me wonder if Fuuta would have went Kotoko's way like most people assume, or if he would have gone Shidou's and Yuno's relatively harmless visions of the world. He's extremely cynical and pessimistic, possibly more than Kazui and Shidou, and might have end up as jaded as Yuno did in T2.

now that I have the obi-wan fic done I’m focusing back on ‘spring fling’, my ~70K hangman series! It should be released by spring break, that’s when it’s set so I’m trying to wrap it up before then. I’m so excited to post it for you guys 🥹

thanks for enabling my micolash obsession because it's been a much-needed break from literal years of me not being able to emotionally invest this much on a blorbo. acads and work and the fear of looking unprofessional compared to my peers and colleagues sapped a lot of joy out of what i do but the mere act of doodling this roach of a man is somehow. healing me??? putangina mo manong micolash haha charot muah2 chup2
