Do you think any of the Exotics (from SoC) could be Grisha?
I think Grisha are too special category to remain unexplored and unexploited.
Sure, it could be another establishment, since Menagerie seems to focus on national stereotypes, but if there's plenty customers after "burnt caramel skin", there will be those seeking the thrill of fucking someone, who can alter their heartbeat or tie them up with no locks necessary.
There will likely be some measures in place to ensure said Grisha won't misbehave, but that's another turn-on, isn't it? The danger. The uncertainty no matter what the provider's willing to guarantee.
Kerch views Grisha as tools, and they're too vulnerable as a group to avoid being used in any way imaginable.

old paraphrase of Alexandre Cabanel’s The Fallen Angel
tbg quote below
“She was a goddess. She was a monster. She’d nearly destroyed this country.” -The Burning God, page 617
#the poppy war#fang runin#the dragon republic#the burning god#my art#and she was both#a religious figure and a monster all at the same time#but also just a girl who had all her choices taken away from her time after time#a desperate girl who was pushed to the edge and forced to make choices no human should#no one ever treated her like the child she was#not even in childhood#Rin was so tired of having to prove her humanity

Sonic OC inspired by that kind of weird retcon-ish thing where Silver can't actually time travel on his own and instead just has random time portals happen to him, something that I affectionately refer to as him being "Cursed By God". This character is also cursed by god in a different manner. She doesn't really get to have any especially useful powers or go on fun adventures or anything like the other sonic characters she just has to live in a Twilight Zone episode for her whole life. I got kind of excited about her so she comes with an excess of information and an arbitrarily high effort picture. Her extremely long name amuses me
#my art#sonic oc#sonic the hedgehog#sth#i'm maintagging my fan character because i think she is really cool. sorry.#idk if i should tag silver he's technically there. she says something mean to him.#i dont think she even necessarily dislikes silver i think she just considers crucifying him as an option at this point.#also in the purple background image the pictures distorted in the background are counter clockwise from the top#screenshot of silver's intro from 06 random panel of silver's future from idw sonic wiki's picture of the festival of the sun#aaand metropolis from sonic forces. Because I needed a fourth picture to fill that space.#also the implication with her being religious is supposed to be that shes a solarishead. Which is difficult since solaris stopped existing#i was trying to be subtle about it but i had to clarify it to my friend so i figured i would just say the situation outright anyways...#Also she's named after a chemical compound that has no existing pictures online! Only a description of what color it is on wikipedia.

joking around was fun but now I did a ~final of Esther‘s design xp
she‘s a supposed Aim (post dark cream) x Axel (errorink) kid made out of the magic of headcanons and inside jokes (/j)
Aim is by @zu-is-here / Axel is by @ari-cuno
anyway I went and had some more fun with her
alsoo this
#my artsies#and so the religious saga continues /hj#i‘ll be honest. the more detailed version was „scrapped“ xp (maybe one day I‘ll post that one)#i left quite a few details in this one actually .i dont know what to do with them xd#everyone loves actually writing onto their posts but Im here in the tags. they are comfortable!#i guess here comes gen 3 of the Sanses!!! (this was much more of a partial joke-kid so i dont have 100% of her figured out but i do-#have a little)#hmm… thats not quite right though#i should really start actually drawing/at least writing down their story 💀#adult!aim#axel#aim x axel#<-meant queerplatonically#almost. almost tagged the wrong thing#esther#utmv#what if I called them „axe em“ as shipname. no no sorry i was joking ofc. ….. 🤭#apparently throwing (aiming) with axes (axel with a letter difference) is called a „match“…………:3#anyways! dont care how much space there is Im Not writing the lore down#all im gonna say? shes not with her parents (atm)#if i got tags wrong uhhhhhh throw me into a river#Okay. Alright. Thanks clowny for that last bit of inspo LMAO. Maybe she will be a robot /j

saw a post by @/cariocake saying smth along the lines of "i hope Bucky's adventuring party is patient with him"
and like!! fuckin please,,,
i hope Bucky's party sees him for the kid he really is
devout (ish?) follower of Helio, yes. crossing a line with the whole "conversion" talk, definitely.
but up to his neck in a religion cult that prioritizes lofty ideals over the individual, religious trauma he's yet to unpack, and experiencing a community completely different from the one he grew up with for the very first time (and supposedly "straying" according to one buddy dawn)
I hope they can see Bucky as the Bad Kids saw Kristen in freshman year. Fucked up, annoying, but with a good heart. And I hope that his party members help him overcome the parts of his childhood that he may discover he doesn't like. You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends.
#fhjy#fantasy high#bucky applebees#d20 fantasy high#dimension 20 fantasy high spoilers#fhjy spoilers#d20 fhjy spoilers#fantasy high spoilers#i hope he doesnt have one single human friend#the religious trauma is STRONG in this one#ALSO#i couldnt figure out a way to tie this into what i was saying BUT#Bucky having to experience his parents how Kristen experienced them#without her there as a sheild#he Knows why kristen had to leave and he doesnt blame or judge her for it#but now that shes gone and he's in her place he could be starting to come to the same revelations Kristen had in freshman year#also been seeing a lot of hcs for trans bucky and im here for it

Sometimes being in love is like getting your eye gored in a fit of purifying violence, sometimes it's not
#I keep talking about the romance of cannibalism so much my mother has gotten so so so tired of me (my friends are more mixed)#but also she got me to watch The Hunger (1983) which was very fun and very 80s#its about consuming and being consumed!!!!!!!!!!! Eating your loved one because you cannot stand them existing outside of yourself!!!!!!!!!#being eaten because you cannot stand existing outside of your lover!!! Becoming obsessed with literally merging together in the goriest way#basically I cannot stop thinking about Hannibal (2013)#I couldn't figure out how to get Tz's horn to fit with the way I placed their heads and then I realized wough........it would be going righ#in Vris's eye if I keep their heads where they were so I just leaned in bc themes......motifs..........symbolism................#blinding and being blinded is so central to their narrative ya know#anyway. this is an unhinged amount of tags I hope you had fun reading all of them#vriska serket#terezi pyrope#vrisrezi#homestuck#hs#my art#fantasy blood#religious imagery

what bothers me about horde prime, more than his lazy characterization or his lack of impact on the narrative, is the fact that he is such a bad representation of a cult leader. like,, this is not how cults work. they don’t just insert a chip into you and make you follow their every directive like a robot. real life cults are a lot more terrifying because they use manipulation as a tactic to convince people to join them. it’s not a digital chip that you can remove from your system and suddenly you’re in complete control of yourself. cult survivors have talked about how hard it is to actually unlearn that mindset and start thinking for themselves, how many years it takes to stop feeling guilty for leaving their cult or seeing the toxicity in the leaders they so religiously followed.
sure, hordak and catra have some trauma tied to their experience with horde prime, but most of that is because of the physical torture they went through, rather than their experience of being brainwashed. and it’s fine if horde prime was just some villain and not a genocidal cult leader. but it’s clear that he was written to be a religious authority figure, the execution is just so off.
i know he’s a character in a fantasy world, so he had to use his powers for something. but instead of turning people into robots, he could have shown them a “better world” through his tech, talked them into joining him and forgetting about all their current worries, and then used them as weapons against etheria.
it would have been a lot more impactful and angsty if catra had willingly joined horde prime’s cult so that she could repress her guilt. in fact, it would have been really interesting if horde prime had convinced catra that he would help her repend for all that she did, if she joined his cult. this would have been a lot more comparable to religious guilt and trauma in real life, and it would show that catra actually felt bad for what she did, instead of just looking sad for a while and then continuing to be a shitty person anyway.
#everyday i mourn the character horde prime could have been#he could have actually been representative of toxic religious figures who push unhealthy mindsets#instead of being all “heehee you love adora dont you” he could have been like#“i sense guilt. you’ve done a lot of horrible things and you want to take it all back but you can’t. at least you think you can’t.#but if you join me you can repend for all your sins. dedicate yourself to me and i’ll make sure you’ll never feel like a bad person again.”#and it sounds like escapism because it is#halfway through catra begins to realize this and she has to choose between repressing her guilt#and actually allowing herself to feel guilty so that she can work on being better#and instead of having adora rescue her catra rescues herself by making a hard decision#but alas#spop critical#spop salt#spop#spop discourse#spop criticism#she ra#anti spop#tw religious guilt#tw religious trauma#tw religion#tw cult

Random headcanon:
Okay, so, I'm firmly on team 'Clara and Odette were adopted in hell' because like... It's a show about found family. Healthy relationship with an adopted family unit being the reason the main cast eventually win seems on brand, and a lot less convuluted than the shananigans it would've taken for both her human biological daughters to end up in hell and managing to find her. (plus I have a shitton of Carmilla hcs that don't have much room for her to be a mum when she was alive, but that ain't the point here)
I was rewatching the scene just before Whatever it takes, and I noticed that Odettes horns seem to be a headband, and obviously Out For Love made it pretty clear that Carmillas are just how she styles her hair. Meanwhile Clara's (as far as I can tell) seem real.
Odette and Carmilla both started wearing horns to make Clara feel better about her real, actual ones.
#Which like also ties into the suggested thing that the sinners forms are influenced by their earthly issues#See: Alastor getting the Acteon treatment.#I haven't figured out exactly why the horns would be a sore point in the first place yet tho#Maybe she was religious when she was alive? They're p.typical devil horns could be Catholic guilt#hazbin hotel#clara carmine#odette carmine#carmilla carmine#headcanons#No this isn't suspiciously timed Clara thoughts after saying I might do a fic about Vaggie being adopted by Carmilla what do you mean

can i get your thoughts on hana kurusu
Not daily/
Short answer? Abnormal
Long answer? We're making this a long post because I have a thought or 50 on Hana actually! Peep my fucking tags too I always say shit there.
I wouldn't have this many if she was just a whole side character but gege made her to not be a side character and was made to be clearly important which is why I'm always pissed about her.
She has an interesting concept that was executed by a MOTHERFUCKER who could could give less of a fuck about developing a woman if it dosent involve gege sucking the dick of some male character randomly. She was so interesting to me especially with her backfire only to be given "oh she dosent care about herself bc she's in love with an emotionally constipated dumbass that she met once and he could give less of a fuck about her." The only reason he cares somewhat is because of some half assed guilt that gege wrote in there because he already wasn't beating the "idk women" allegations.
She has such an interesting vibe about her of being a vessel that has control still other than Yuji but that's because he was born for that shit who gaf. Hana was not. How did she live? How did she get to that point.
I honestly think she would've been better off without having any relations with Megumi but most think so. I want to know more about her but I don't trust gege. I honestly think she should've been a blacksmith or something but idk. She's interesting it's just she has the misfortune of being written by Gege as a plot device and stepping stone for a character that barely even changed. Even Higaruma has more and Kusakabe and THAT COUPON BITCH HAS MORE THAN HER BUT THAT GOES FOR MOST IF NOT ALL THE WOMEN IN JJK EXCEPT MAKI FUCKKKK.
Hana doodle. She's neat.
#dailykugisaki#KugiAski#Kurusu Hana#she didn't deserve the hand she was dealt#to me shes more interesting than Megumi or whatever most characters are more interesting than him ngl....that goes for most of the male mfs#LOL im such a fuckinf hater#no i dont ship her with mfs i wanna figure out her issues first bro zamn#im slandering so many bitches here low-key#high-key actually idgaf#she can be so cool when you detach her from that fuckass boy ngl#the imagery of a vessel of an angel being a child that fucking religious horror is insane#because Catholic mfs think children are the purest vessel for god btw!#also exorsisms are supposed to me a secret thing so the face she creates a beam of light that DEAFENS the world is so....YASSS#there is no silence there is no senses within her technique which is why i think it messes up so many people#it's basically the feeling of being numb ten times over#hana could be written within the horror of giving up all attachments which would be fun

The Hell now, I'm drooling over the Good Omens version of Archangel Michael, too?..
The tag's about Lady Crowley, not myself, but still...

She does seem like she'd take and rail you.
#diary pages#stop it i'm having a bi moment over an angel in go...#good omens#good omens michael#good omens fandom#good omens thoughts#archangel michael#fr i'm very much a hierophiliac for this specific religious figure#but lusting after those is blasphemous so not like i'm betraying my beliefs#why... is... she... not... in... uniform... or armour#why do i have a feeling good omens betrays michael in portrayal#don't worry general i'll fix it#literally everyone calls her that in my wips#except satan who calls her by name#and the antichrist who calls her “aunt michael”#general i'll have the serpent of eden dripping wet for you#serious brainrot over this pairing#crowley x michael#fem!crowley x michael#idk what nonsense go s2 did with michael (in s1 she already wasn't portrayed as the leader) but she does have the stern expression

idk if this makes sense + i mean this with all the love in my heart but i feel like LMK characters are well-written but the story is not. like the characters are beautifully crafted but their stories are hot garbage and that’s OKAY i don’t mind a shoddily-plotted story bc i watch it for entertainment not enrichment but oh man the irony!!
#feel free to disagree this is just my thought for now it might be subject to change#mei ESPECIALLY is such a great example of a strong female character that’s not overly violent#she’s just a little guy who’s here for her pals :]#did i mention how much i love mei? i should mention it again just in case#oh mei lmk i love you so much#“they spent a whole season chasing macguffins” yeah but my little blorbos get screentime :)#i also dont care about the whole “they’re BASTARDIZING RELIGIOUS FIGURES 😭” criticism bc lmk is adapting jttw#and jttw is religious and history fanfic too. it’s just Old and a Classic so nobody notices#but yeah. religious figures in jttw are fictional characters and modern worshippers know how to differentiate between fiction and scripture#lmk#lego monkie kid

"[Elizabeth Woodville's] piety as queen seems to have been broadly conventional for a fifteenth-century royal, encompassing pilgrimages, membership of various fraternities, a particular devotion to her name saint, notable generosity to the Carthusians, and the foundation of a chantry at Westminster after her son was born there. ['On other occasions she supported planned religious foundations in London, […] made generous gifts to Eton College, and petitioned the pope to extend the circumstances in which indulgences could be acquired by observing the feast of the Visitation']. One possible indicator of a more personal, and more sophisticated, thread in her piety is a book of Hours of the Guardian Angel which Sutton and Visser-Fuchs have argued was commissioned for her, very possibly at her request."
-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: The Knight's Widow", Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, Dynasty
#historicwomendaily#elizabeth woodville#my post#friendly reminder that there's nothing indicating that Elizabeth was exceptionally pious or that her piety was 'beyond purely conventional'#(something first claimed by Anne Crawford who simultaneously claimed that Elizabeth was 'grasping and totally lacking in scruple' so...)#EW's piety as queen may have stood out compared to former 15th century predecessors and definitely stood out compared to her husband#but her actions in themselves were not especially novel or 'beyond normal' and by themselves don't indicate unusual piety on her part#As Laynesmith's more recent research observes they seem to have been 'broadly conventional'#A conclusion arrived at Derek Neal as well who also points out that in general queens and elite noblewomen simply had wider means#of 'visible material expression of [their] personal devotion' - and also emphasizes how we should look at their wider circumstances#to understand their actions (eg: the death of Elizabeth's son George in 1479 as a motivating factor)#It's nice that we know a bit about Elizabeth's more personal piety - for eg she seems to have developed an attachment to Westminster Abbey#It's possible her (outward) piety increased across her queenship - she undertook most of her religious projects in later years#But again - none of them indicate the *level* of her piety (ie: they don't indicate that she was beyond conventionally pious)#By 1475 it seems that contemporaries identified Cecily Neville as the most personally devout from the Yorkist family#(though Elizabeth and even Cecily's sons were far greater patrons)#I think people also assume this because of her retirement to Westminster post 1485#which doesn't work because 1) we don't actually know when she retired? as Laynesmith says there is no actual evidence for the traditional#date of 12 February 1487#2) she had very secular reasons for retiring (grief over the death of her children? her lack of dower lands or estates which most other#widows had? her options were very limited; choosing to reside in the abbey is not particularly surprising. it's a massive and unneeded jump#to claim that it was motivated solely by piety (especially because it wasn't a complete 'retirement' in the way people assume it was)#I think historians have a habit of using her piety as a GOTCHA!' point against her vilification - which is a flawed and stupid argument#Elizabeth could be the most pious individual in the world and still be the pantomime villain Ricardians/Yorkists claim she was#They're not mutually exclusive; this line of thinking is useless#I think this also stems from the fact that we simply know very little about Elizabeth as an individual (ie: her hobbies/interests)#certainly far less than we do for other prominent women Margaret of Anjou; Elizabeth of York;; Cecily Neville or Margaret Beaufort#and I think rather than emphasizing that gap of knowledge her historians merely try to fill it up with 'she was pious!'#which is ... an incredibly lackluster take. I think it's better to just acknowledge that we don't know much about this historical figure#ie: I do wish that her piety and patronage was emphasized more yes. but it shouldn't flip too far to the other side either.

Looking back at Girl Meets World, it will forever irritate me especially for how they handled/treated Angela. Oh this show really hated black women because how do you not only 1.) describe her, one of (correct me if I'm wrong) only few black and MAIN characters of the og show, as a "concept" 2.) have characters show obvious disgust at the small mention of her name 3.) depict her as a homewrecker for a new relationship that, really, shouldn't have ever happened 4.) have her old friends treat her like dirt and her old lover like she is the root of his problems, when there was nothing but positive love there 5.) reuse all the concepts from said previous love story just to elevate the new ship with a yte woman and 6.) compare her to Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest hurricanes that caused significant numbers of death, harm, misplacement, and trauma to people, largely of whom were black? Mind you, all these points I mentioned were toward the only main black character of the OG show before the spinoff, and the only, from what I can remember, black female character of the spinoff who didn't even stay long. Not even getting into the racist drama with some of the members on set, but you cannot look me in the eye and tell me that the way the show handled Angela, her story, and her relationship with the other characters + Shawn wasn't fucking disrespectful, you can't because I won't believe you.
#boy meets world#girl meets world#like this show had so many issues (from its depiction of autism to religious intolerance to supporting grooming)#but this was a whole other level#it was especially hurtful as a young black girl to see growing bc i really tried to like this show with its lacking diversity#but coming from watching bmw to this a show from the 90s that depicted a black character better than a 2010s show- u get my point#and its so wrong bc it depicts angela as being the one to end the relationship when all she said in bmw how she#didn't want to see her leaving as a goodbye and there was ambiguous hope for the future#also shoving shawn to be with maya's mom was really unnecessary#not only bc of how it depicted being raised in a single parent household so negatively#but that the only way to solve maya's problems was for her...to have a dad? like that really isn't how it works#i blissfully live in the delulu where angela and shawn came back together once she left europe and he eventually married her#after they graduated college and have a beautiful family together#shawn x angela#don't even get me started on how whenever there was a guest cameo it was met audience applause and happy reactions#but when it was for angela: crickets 😬#back to maya- i feel like it would have been better for her story if shawn didn't marry her mother (and was with angela) and u would see her#hope and wish for the opposite to where it nearly consumes her only to finally be sat down and informed that#even if shawn isn't with your mom he'll still be in your life as a father figure no matter what#i personally feel like that would've been better#but this is largely just s rant so forgive the structure of it al

most relaxed girl in the world (who wants to kill you). everyone say hiii elias
#MY DARK URGE CHARACTER EVERYBODY. CUE RAUCOUS CHEERING FROM THE STANDS (my 5 followers on this account)#I wanted to doodle some more ideas for her hair and try to figure out her armour etc but it was taking forever and I was impatient#so here is my first attempt at figuring out her face !! and one of these days once I've done a bit more of her playthrough I'll post some#writing. so far I have just over 10k words and none of it is very good lol#design notes: her face is inspired by statues of saints. I'm going hard on the religious connotations apparently#the krumau madonna was particularly helpful. thank you whichever artist carved it#she always has this exact expression. the slight mona lisa smile. her face CAN do other things but it looks weird when it does#and the little scribble next to her is her name in elian script. too perfect not to pass up#in this universe it is a cipher that she invented and almost no-one else knows I decided#ANYWAY. bedtime#oc tag#elias tag#bg3#baldur's gate 3#dark urge#my art#durge#fay draws
