“…Elinda Massey, youngest and gentlest of Rhaenyra’s ladies in waiting, supposedly gouged out her own eyes at the sight, while the queen’s son Aegon watched in horror, unable to move.”
Regardless of how far Rhaenyra had fallen by the end of the dance, the fact that she inspired such loyalty and devotion from her lady in waiting speaks wonders to her character. Elinda couldn’t live without her liege lady (especially after witnessing her vile and grotesque murder) and Aegon the Younger spent the rest of his days wearing the color black to mourn his mother and honor her memory. It’s so heartbreaking.
#fire and blood#rhaenyra targaryen#pro rhaenyra#aegon iii targaryen#elinda massey#forever mourning girls girl rhaenyra being taken from us#she was beloved even in death#her armies still fought to depose the usurper and place her son on the throne

Epic the Musical:
Athena: Please dad help Odysseus! I realized he is my good friend and needs help!
Zeus: Who? That shameful man I made him choose to kill himself or his men? Why would I do that? It was so fun!You just seek attention! I'll tell you what though; if you convince others then I shall release him! Let's play
Athena: *does that*
Zeus: How DARE you!
Zeus: *strikes her*
The Odyssey:
Athena: Please father how could you forget on Odysseus who was always pious to the gods?
Zeus: Me? Forget about him? How can I? He is like one of the best when it comes to sacrifices and respecting the gods.
Athena: Then why won't you help him?
Zeus: I have nothing against the man. But my hands are tied! He committed hubris and nemesis had to find him and my brother is pissed off at him. I can't do much.
Athena: I cannot face him but now he is away please help Odysseus at least escape Ogygia! Send Hermes to bring the message and I shall go to help his son! The prophecy needs to be fulfilled!
Zeus: you speak the truth. Let us try.
#honestly why! fucking why! 😭😭#epic and odyssey differences#like every media portraying zeus as a total jerk even in things like this#zeus was the embodiment of justice. he obayed the laws of cosmos#he never had something against Odysseus!#odysseus was beloved to the gods it was Poseidon that had true problem with him!#that was also essential part of the whole personality build up!#just a little runt#greek mythology#odysseus#the odyssey#tagamemnon#odyssey#homeric poems#homer#homeric epics#also...WHAT THE FUCK WITH THE “is she dead?”#like even Calypso clearly states “goddesses can't die”#but apparently fucking ATHENA gets other fucking OLYMPIANS worried she died?#even Dionysus who gets a random trip to the underworld every now and then rebirths#so not really death just a road trip lol#kinda like Deadpool#athena clearly defies zeus in fucking Iliad by siding with hera and gets away with it#like...can we have like SOMETHING of the Odyssey into a freaking ODYSSEY adaptation?#the only thing we kinda got so far was Calypso!#songs amazing as always melody-wise!#but at this point...WTF!?

"Suddenly the world was gray and dull and my heart was so heavy I felt like I couldn’t move, let alone make it back to Treasure Town. But because of Echo’s last wish… I was able to keep living.”
--- --- --- --- ---
SORA : (Partner)
Abilities: Justified / Inner Focus
Nature: Gentle / Hardy
Moveset: Aura Sphere / Metal Claw / Poison Jab / Dragon Pulse
#It's my baby girl!! My sweetiepie!! Sora the light of my life my bestest girlie#Her own character sheet to go along with Echo's since I had so much fun making that one and obvs Sora needed to be given as much love too#Sora learned Poison Jab as a riolu back when she was mistrustful towards Grovyle and wanted to thrash him around#nowadays she feels bad about knowing the move when her intentions for learning it were to get an upper hand against him in battle#but she also refuses to unlearn it and keeps it as a reminder that sometimes your own expectations about others are wrong in the end#plus the idea of someone as sweet as Sora knowing a poison-type move just makes me go crazy. did you expect a fairy type move or something?#Cause no. She'll literally stab you to death with literal poison because she can if you upset her or Echo.#And to anyone wondering about the large scar on her tail... yes it is literally a hand-print courtesy of Dusknoir#insert the universally traumatic “YOU TWO ARE COMING WITH ME” classic Dusknoir villain-arc moment#(he then proceeds to grab Sora by the tail and drag her into the dimensional portal but she struggles and he loses patience)#(so he unleashes a point blank will-o-wisp that causes so much pain she is too busy recoiling and screaming to make an escape)#Hey Dusknoir it was kinda f'ed up to permanently scar a kid like that ngl not your best decision I hope it doesn't haunt you forever#Echo still hates him for it and I'm not sure she'll ever let that particular event go even after they reconcile#also I gave Sora the ability Justified because of the implications that her partner is a dark-type and she also has darkrai-related trauma#the idea of her attack stat raising if Echo accidentally hits her with a move??? like Sora is so scared her stats literally go haywire#that's my idea of angst and it keeps me awake at night#sora/lucario#Team Wish my beloved...#pmd ocs#pmd eos#pmd2#explorers of sky#my art#click for better quality tumblr compressed it like garbage D:

i Do Not Trust people who make Mary the bad guy in their stories when the show went out of its way to specifically show us how she was suffering just as much as stede was in their marriage and that shes, yknow, a good person
#mary is specifically framed in a sympathetic light in all of her appearances. the show switches to following her narrative so we can see#how much better her new life is for her too!!! like yes she tries to kill stede but we are shown in the narrative WHY she makes that choice#and that she struggles with it and we see stede understanding this too! he supports her decisions and her new life and is happy for her!!!#at no point are we shown anything that makes mary a bad person or bad mother- honestly i generally like mary far more than stede anyway#but even if you dont you should be able to acknowledge... that if u make her the bad guy??? w. what did you take away from the show??#idk it has the vibes of. the girl character all the fans hate because she gets in the way of their precious little gay ship#or whatever. you know what i mean#ofmd#our flag means death#mary bonnet#mary allamby bonnet#everyone whos a mary hater is also an izzy hater bc theyre coded the same character type. betrayed wives my beloved#(this is a joke.)#uh. this might be one to add in the tags on again sorry gang i have too many thoughts

There’s something so intriguing to me about how Rachel has stronger “prophecy powers” than Octavian, but she can’t control when she speaks prophecies, yet Octavian’s “prophecy powers” are much weaker, but he can control when he reads them.
#idk. it just feels like theyd be such interesting friends/rivals in any other universe#like. him being jealous of her being chosen by apollo to give prophecies. and her not needing to perform auguries#(..which octavian doesnt even do. but thats a thing for elsewhere)#(because auguries are reliant on birds. not cutting open animals. stuffed or otherwise)#vs. her being jealous of him having the freedom to decide when he wants to give prophecies and if he even wants to give the#*them#he has the freedom to quit. she essentially sold her soul to be an oracle until death. when she was 15.#of all her friends. shes one of the only people forever unable to fully leave camp behind..#rachel my beloved <3#(and octavian my beloved <3)#i just want them to be friends#and also she could befriend his fluffy cat. aristophanes (because who else would own a cat called ‘aristophanes’??)#theyre just so perfect to be friends/rivals#and yet.#rachel elizabeth dare#rachel dare#octavian pjo#octavian hoo#pjo#percy jackon and the olympians#hoo#heroes of olympus#riordanverse

started watching the new live action avatar
it’s. It’s pretty ok I guess? But there’s a lot of things I’m not altogether happy about. It feels very. Generic. Which is kind of sad.
I’m only two episodes in though, so I won’t be too harsh. But there are a few things that I really don’t like, and number one was Aang going into the Avatar State in front of Sokka and Katara for the first time when seeing Monk Gyatso instead of when escaping Zuko, and that moment being isolated instead of the moment everyone in the world knew the Avatar had returned
in the original series, Aang goes into the Avatar State when confronted by irrefutable proof in the form of the skeleton of his best friend and mentor - the airbenders really were massacred and he can no longer deny it.
every statue of the Avatar around the globe lights up in a single moment. the legendary figure’s destined return is announced to the world by an overwhelming outpouring of grief and rage from a young child who just discovered that everyone he ever knew and loved is gone. it’s poignant. the Avatar’s return in that moment is not a triumph. that terrifying show of strength and power, enough to light up the world in its glow, is pure emotional anguish from a small twelve year old, who just saw the dead body of his mentor and now believes he is all alone
and Katara and Sokka having seen the Avatar State before means that there is less of the shock and “what is happening” in this pivotal scene (which was the main focus in the live action). of course Sokka is still concerned about them potentially getting flung off the mountain. but both of them know this reaction for what it is - mysterious power, sure, but primarily, they see and recognize his grief.
I just. what happened to “we’re your family now” and “neither of us are gonna let anything happen to you”??? :(
on a side note, I do feel like Katara and Sokka themselves have been heavily (heh) watered down. it’s a shame. Sokka’s my favourite, and I just think that I. Don’t trust writers with Katara now. (Why is her waterbending a secret? The whole reason she didn’t learn was because there was no one to teach her and she couldn’t leave… also where is her instant connection with Aang… where is their silliness… where did it go…)
however! I did like a couple things that were done and I want to be a bit positive so here
love Zuko and Suki’s actors. they did a great job
Sokka and Suki’s training together was cute ☺️ (though I wish he had worn the uniform of the Kyoshi Warriors…)
Aang himself is adorable :) (wish he got to be a little more silly but Netflix adaptations always are more serious for some reason)
I actually kind of enjoyed getting to see some of the scenes from the war’s outbreak. I prefer the way the original show portrays it, with a lot of info being learned reverse chronologically, but it was cool to see Sozin, and some of the airbenders, and a little more of Gyatso (who I also really enjoyed :’) )
Katara bending water at Aang and it reducing to them splashing each other without even trying to bend. Rare sillies!
I thought Kyoshi herself coming to defend her island was pretty sweet!!!
Katara getting flashbacks to her mother’s death on seeing firebending. Well I don’t like this, obviously, but it clearly shows how her mother’s death haunts her, and if they have Katara face off against Zuko again at the North Pole, it’ll be all the more triumphant.
Suki’s mom!!! Damn she was so cool!!!!!!
#also whyyy was Katara not the first person Aang saw??? this is really important!!!#and what is Katara’s role here. She didn’t even seem to break the iceberg. That’s. That’s her whole. That’s. She. She kickstarts it. Gah.#Katara my beloved my sweetie I don’t know why your writing got fucked up in the comics and now here#you deserve so much better#also why no Aang and Zuko confrontation? hello? that’s really important???#they had him meet Iroh though. so that was actually pretty interesting#no agni kai between Zhao and Zuko either? maybe it’ll happen next episode?#ugh. I actually don’t like a lot of things. But I’ve only watched two episode so I’ll be chill and wait for more#storyrambles#atla#also this is just me being nitpicky but if we were going to actually see gyatso’s death (which. Idk it was more impactful not seeing it tbh#there’s this implication that gyatso may have broken his vow of pacifism since his skeleton was surrounded by tons of fire nation soldiers#implying he may have killed them#it wouldn’t have fit or made sense at the beginning of the show#but if they were going to show his death scene. Idk. Guess I just expected something more substantial#personally from what little we knew of Gyatso it actually does seem likely he’d break his vow if he really did die protecting the children#also. he was supposed to be the strongest airbender at the time. come on now. he just gets roasted?

I hope Claudia escapes the afterlife and eats some of you fr
#amazing how one moment during her death scene can convince 80% of the fandom to infantilize her#and treat her like lestat’s beloved daughter#when she wouldn’t piss on that man if he was on fire#yes i am aware what delainey said and i don’t!! care!!#y’all need to understand that being a father isn’t inherently a positive thing#being the reason someone is alive doesn’t make you a good parent. neither does the child inheriting certain traits.#he made her undead life a living hell and never acted like he truly loved her#not even at the end when he stood there and watched her burn to death#and did we just forget that lestat used her assualt against her?? even after he knew the details surrounding it??? like…tf???#he was cruel at every turn#and claudia only turned to him bc she literally had NO ONE ELSE#louis was gone. madeleine was ash. none of the theatre vamps cared for her. who else did she have?#sick and tired of all this ‘claudia de lioncourt’ ‘lestat is so mother’ bullshit! SHUT UP!!#claudia hated him!! as she should have!! she died hating him and i hope lestat never makes peace with that!#GOD. rant over.

Lockwood's talent meaning he can't communicate with the dead but sees them in more frightening detail goes a long way to explaining his attitude versus Lucy's, and obviously his talent is a direct representation of his PTSD (constantly seeing the aftereffects of violence, viewing everything as more of a threat, etc.) but he's really like "see that sad man missing his wife? we gotta hit him with explosives Lucy. don't be an emotional girl about this"
#in his defense he's not trying to be sexist. he would do this if she were a guy also#lockwood throughout his career: this is fine it's not like they're real people with feelings#the first ghost capable of communicating with him: i hope your dick falls off#if ghosts are people and should be treated as such then maybe his beloved parents did something wrong#and are even partly responsible for his sister's death#we can't have that!#almost like constantly demonizing the victims of imperial greed and letting your children pay the price for it is a theme or something#sorry despite his repeated complaints my dad is now reading the third book and I was like#lockwood's tragic backstory boils down to the fact that he is British. artifact theft strikes back#lockwood and co

Father!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
#caluuart#genshin impact#genshin#art#arlecchino#god she's just so. cool. pretty. ethereal. badass.#also I LOVE HER STORY QUEST SO MUCH!! I think it's definitely one of the best story quests in the game tbh.#wait uh arlecchino story quest spoilers below:#for one; the quest really gives even more depth to arlecchino's character. like yeah the whole thing is well. messed up.#it's an orphanage that raises orphans to be child soldiers after all. But it's also like. It's more.... humane? nicer? for the fatui anyway#which does bring me to the next thing. you know how arlecchino's like “if you're gonna leave the HotH you need to fight for it with ur life#I genuinely think that she's gonna just. straight up kill them. although it's not unlikely at all it turns out that (most of the time?) she#-just gives them a one trip to memory loss and set them free. which i do know it's kinda like death in genshin's lore but still.#I just find that pretty interesting.#also the cutscene where clervie says goodbye n stuff. It makes me cry EVERY TIME. ARGHHHH TRAGIC CHILDHOOD DOOMED YURI MY BELOVED :(((#clervie makes me so sad man. the fact that she just. accepts death. she really just let peruere kill her huh. crucabena when I fucking get#the hopelessness getting to her at that point. all attempts of freedom failed until that day..... GOD. and clervie finally getting closure-#-in the story quest as a spirit... I just..... man.........#on a lighter note :)#I got obsessed with a bloodborne OST LMAO. the uhh the lugwig boss theme. esp the sec phase one. it's SO GOOD. I first heard abt it in a-#-vid analyzing the ost musically. At the time i was like. woah. cool. what a cool sounding track. fast foward to like. a day before 4.6#I'm watching a genshin theory video and I heard the music in the bg. I recognized it but I couldn't remember where I heard it from#UNTIL I REMEMBERED. and looked it up. And I have not known peace since. good music.#anw I've been rambling too much so yeah. gn my dear fellows!!

First re design of the year, it’s Jill! I love Jill so much, recently got re3 and im really excited to play through as her! I just have to finish re4 first lol. This design has a mix of re1 and re3 in mind but I also included how she would look like in re5 and Death Island. Jill and the rest of the stars members’ collars all have the stars symbol on it!
Headcanon: She doesn’t have her natural color and is actually tinged a bit lighter with a few added scars in Death Island. This shows some remnants of Wesker’s experiments on her.
#jill valentine#resident evil#my art#catified#design#catified design#catified resident evil#jill my beloved#i adore her character a lot#she’s really interesting and deserves better#i very much hate that capcom basically resused her model from re3 for death island#they didn’t even give her the scar from wesker’s experiment😒#also wesker’s experiment it was giving me some trouble to draw-#i was mostly just struggling with the shape of it qwq

#mypost#kazuma#noragami#im so interested in his insanity its a tad like me but much more Goals than anything rlse#''i can do anything ensure the safety of my god and itll be right btw'' <- thought process of a man you HAVE TO avoid at all cost#he literally left yato in the mud the second he was safosfied enemy was dead. NOT EVEN A PEACE OUT#he got touched by gods greatest secret. got torn in half. and killed the worst man alive all in a minute#BEAST motherfuckin BEAST#nora whining she GOT him she g o t him and hes sexily bleeding like ''lmao what of it''#LOVE how stressed out and uncomposed she looks in their battle she was fighting for her life out there#Kazuma is just like:👞👔👖👓#one thing abt him is he WILL be wearing a suit and tie. lookin like hes at a meeting. yeah. meeting of murder and death#jesus god hes my man. batshit man my beloved

was playing some quest mods in skyrim and got around on doodling the only one oc from 4E Concordia Varro, veteran of great war, retired from imperial legion after the concordat, eventually joined the vigil of stendarr after the murder of her young brother by a vampire. bashes her enemies to death with targe and then uses her fist or aedric javelins if that wasn't enough.
#tes#skyrim#imperial#concordia varro#doodles#i literally forgor to post this#as u can see i didn’t even try to work on the shield because fuck it#Lore Moment: she mastered resto by converting her life essence into mana and then slowly healing herself back up from the verge of death#rinse and repeat#her body's fucked in some places beyond belief ofc but she still uses this to practice her skills just for nostalgia#she's quirky like that#(equilibrium and close wounds spam by beloved)#forgot to add that the robes are from the mod Vigilant. well the general shape is. wish this was a default fem version though

im not reading briarlight's death scene but there is something so incredibly insidious to me about tree being announced for this Brand New Special Boy Role Made Just For Him because he wouldnt do warrior or medic work, and in the exact same paragraph on the wiki, briarlight dies because the authors basically thought she was too worthless to keep around
#ableism#like putting aside how life shouldnt be based on what you contribute to society and even if you cant ''contribute'' as a disabled person#you still deserve basic respect and materials to live#this is just..... its gross. the new special boy gets to have his own role while beloved fan favorite gets an unceremonious death#because shes too disabled for the writers comfort#avos liveread#also this isnt wiki criticism ftr this is just a summary of the actual text lol

i& need yall to understand just how genuinely loved h.elaena targaryen actually was. she was so loved by the people that when she was either murdered or committed suicide, that incited a peasant uprising which led to the deaths of not just one but FIVE MOTHERFUCKING DRAGONS & queen r.haenyra had to flee because the people hated her that much (she's framed). imagine being so beloved as a queen that the literal common people rise in revolt because of either your murder or your suicide. literally no other queen had that kind of impact before or ever since.
#ooc.#helaena targaryen. || study.#/ suicide mention#/ murder#bc again i leave her death as ambiguous on purpose & i think it could honestly be either way.#like .... they HATED aegon & aemond but they LOVED helaena. thats HUGE. TENS OF THOUSANDS WERE IN THAT RIOT.#& thats not even getting into the fact that UNLIKE THE SHOW the smallfolk REMEMBER jaehaerys & maelor's brutal murders by the blacks.#as grrm said: helaena was beloved; rhaenyra was once but was then not; she was hated. she was the people's queen. princess diana type shit.#the smallfolk vc if you fuck w/ helaena ITS WAR#jfc .... hela thinking its Her fault so many dragons in the dragonpit died in her survival au but im Looking Directly @ You Mr The Shepherd

The best feeling in the world is when there’s a piece of media you know you love and you’ve hyped it up as your favorite thing for so long but you haven’t revisited it in a while so you start to worry if it’s really as good as you make it out to be and so you go back and revisit it and it’s like. Oh this is even better than I remembered this shit rules
#the klock keeps ticking#i always get this feeling when i play 999 but tonight i got it with the letter#cuz ive uh finally decided to bite the bullet and play the evil meanie route where everyone dies 😟#a route ive put off for so long cuz its just too damn sad to think about akjdksk god it hurts#and ive played like for the most part every route of this game EXCEPT this one but i know the ending is really dark and i need to see it#plus i will at least get my beloved torture scene in so thats nice#i didnt kill off isabella though its a coma route which i hope still allows me to get the ending i want cuz i mean shell still be out of#commission in the final scene so hopefully it works out#but yeah no i started off tonight on the marianne chapter and while i did skip around through it cuz ive played it many times and i just#wanna get to the important stuff already alskj i also just replayed some of the best parts#aka the shit where lorraine appears and the gay shit alksks and god like hnnnghh not only does this chapter still ruin me emotionally#i also just remembered why i love this character so much and remembered just how good the character writing in this game is#and i also played into the rebecca chapter and didnt skip as much cuz i actually am not as familiar with the coma route#cuz it makes me sad and i never revisited it lol and i havent gotten to The Scene that makes me sob yet#its so coming though dont worry but idk i guess its just been cuz ive been thinking about p3 so much lately#and in particular shinji both the death route and coma route but in particular the coma cuz thats what im writing#and damn lol the letter just writes the grief and nuanced relationships and death stuff so much better lol god#like marianne loses her childhood best friend whom she has a gay ass relationship with to suicide and like its just better#she blames herself and still isnt even kinda okay with it after 13 years#like it just fucking ruined her and the only thing keeping her from losing it is her repression and drinking problem and unattached sex#and then with coma route well fucking first off isabellas friends actually like. visit her frequently damn#and they just all have such unique ways of coping like Zach is being optimistic so no one gets too upset#rebecca is sorta in charge of making sure everything goes smoothly she has to contact the family and make big decisions#and shes also just taking the most stress and shes got so many complicated feelings around isabella going on but she genuinely cannot stand#that isabella is hurt shes fucking destroyed she loves isabella and then ashton AAAAA god yeah i also just remembered that hes SUCH a good#character hes like being a genuine asshole right like Rebecca calls to tell him that isabella is comatose now and he literally doesnt let#her say anything he literally says ‘i dont have time for other things rn’ like the wellness of his friend is just ‘other things’#but you just know thats not it not at all hes burying himself in work to the point of destruction so he can figure out who did this and make#everything okay and he refuses to show even an ounce of vulnerability cuz THE SECOND HE DOES IT ALL COMES OUT AND HE CANT GET OUT OF BED#ANYMORE CUZ HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY WHEN THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE IS DYING
