You mentioned misogyny for female nations in media but how do nations see the line between male and female I feel it's more equal among nations as war is war and a soldier is a soldier also you mentioned Hungary but how do other female nations handle misogyny

I feel like the role of a female nation in war varies a lot. Some are soldiers equal to men, while others are only allowed non-combat roles. Otherwise, the diplomatic and bureaucratic workload they have is equal to other male nations.

I believe they handle the misogyny in a lot of different ways. Belgium is kind of used to being pushed aside due to being surrounded by her flashier neighbours. But has her limits for how much patronizing she can tolerate. She will assert herself in sexist interviews, but she will do so in a polite manner because she doesn't want to "make a scene".

Seychelles has the misfortune of being a woman of color. So not only does she have to deal with misogyny, but also being objectified by tourists who see her as nothing more than "exotic beauty." Because of her role as a tourism destination, she's kind of forced to put up with it all. She tries to not let other people make her feel bad about herself, and focuses on enjoying life.

Belarus has zero tolerance for it. She'll literally threaten to chop a man's dick off if he's sexist towards her. She is unapologetically herself in interviews, and will be very blunt about what she thinks the journalists intentions are. She used to be harassed by paparazzi a lot for photos of her "acting crazy", but she fixed the problem by threatening their families.

Ukraine has to deal with a lot of misogyny and stereotyping. People often hypersexualize her because of her big breasts, and paint her as submissive, gold-digging bimbo (which is often how Slavic women in general are portrayed in media). Ukraine is dismayed by how people see her, and it makes her deeply uncomfortable. She usually focuses on what she can control and chooses to help others. She also attends women's marches a lot, and acts as a role model for Ukrainian women.

Recent visually beautiful and generally watchable Russian fantasy movies

(because I start forgetting they exist at all) Ironically, all of them are adaptations of books/comics.

I Am Dragon / Он — дракон (2015) This movie is a very free adaptation of the novel "The Rite" / "Ри��уал" by Maryna and Serhiy Dyachenko (Марина и Сергей Дяченко). It's a reinterpreting of an ancient tale about a maiden, a hero and a dragon. I don`t like the novel because it's very postmodern, wracks the typical fairytale plot and hurts my escapist feelings by ugly reality, but the movie is pretty fairytale-ish and nice. Firstly, it is visually beautiful and represent Slavic pseudo-medieval lore the way it should have always been in Slavic fantasy.

Secondly, as a love story between a monster and a maiden, it has got A PLENTY of tropes I'm usually looking for in Chinese dramas, so I understand very well why it was pretty popular in Asia.

Thirdly, when I said it's visually beautiful I wasn't joking. The main hero is played not by an actor, but by a male model, who is shirtless all the time (and sometimes pantless) and has a very fit and good-looking body. It's something unbelievable that someone in Russia made a movie to please women's eyes! Really, it's insane!

The folk-rock band Мельница wrote an insanely beautiful song "Обряд" (The Rite) for this movie (more matched to the book plot, though), but it was never used as OST, which is a shame. The song is about a black sheep girl, who is denied by society and asks a dragon to come for her and to take her away, because the dragon is denied by this world just like her. You can listen to it here. The band also has a song "Змей" (The Wyrm) (based on Lev Gumilev's poem), which is more accurate to the plot of the movie: the wyrm kidnaps maidens to make them its wives, but they are all dying during the flight; at the end of the song a hero-knight is ready to shoot it in order to stop it. Listen to it here.

It ends with HE, which is better than the book's obscure ending, so it is pleasure for me to rewatch it till these days.

Major Grom: Plague Doctor / Майор Гром: Чумной Доктор (2021)

It is an adaptation of Russian comic series "Major Grom" by Bubble comics. I am traditionally not very happy with the source material, but it is very good reworked to be the screen play of this movie.

It's very beautifully made in terms of director's, cameraman's and screenwriter's work, which is a rare thing for Russian movies. Also, the actors are young and handsome, especially the villain, which is a rare thing not only for Russian movies, but for the current Western movies, too. It has got a lot of allusions to Russian reality and a lot of beautiful views of Saint Petersburg, the second capital of Russia and one of the most beautiful Russian cities. And it has got some unusual visual solutions that turn it into a comic it should be.

The plot revolves around a mysterious serial killer (kinda bad Batman), a black sheep police officer and Russian Mark Zuckerberg (kind of). Mark Zuckerberg is the best guy of this movie and I like him a lot! Серёёёёжа! 🧡🧡🧡

This movie wasn't popular in Russia because of political situation in the country by the moment of its release (the both sides found out in there something insulting for them and banned it), but even if it has something like that, I honestly didn't pay attention to it. It's just a nice blockbuster with a tragic and handsome villain. The villain also has got his own BL-drama (in the comics they are really lovers, it`s as obvious as it could be shown in a Russian comic).

By the way, the villain is hot, insane, ruthless, sensitive and suffering. How does he contain all of this character treats in one personality? you may ask. He doesn`t. He has dissociative identity disorder, I would answer.

I don`t know if it works by now, but some time ago you could watch this lovely movie on Netflix.

The Master and Margarita / Мастер и Маргарита (2024) This is a loose adaptation of Russian classical novel "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov. I genuinely hate this book, but the adaptation reinterprets it, divides it into very interesting layers and makes it understandable and beautiful.

It`s layered, so it will probably be hard to understand what layer are we currently on if you are not familiar with the original story. The first layer is an ugly Soviet reality, the second layer is a plot of the novel that the main hero is writing, a story within a story. The third layer is the insane intertwining of the first two layers. On the reality layer the Master loses his job and freedom because of friend's denunciation and becomes star-crossed lovers with a married woman. On the novel level he meets devil, who visits Moscow by chance, and the devil gives him and his woman opportunity to live their lives being free from everything that usually tortures people IRL. Somewhere among those layers is a little plot about Jesus and Pontius Pilate.

The movie is visually beautiful. Although it feels pretty anti-Soviet, Soviet visuals of the movie are gorgeous. There were used the Stalin-times concepts of Moscow of the Future, the CGI buildings in frame came from the real architecture projects of those times. The Stalin Empire architecture style and views are typical for Moscow (but as I know, ironically, this all was shot in Saint Petersburg). It seems to me that this movie is heavily stuffed with visual allusions to the Western works: devil's escort looks like bunch of Pennywises, Margarita is Enchantress from Suicide Squad I, the scene of blood dripping is from Blade I etc. Usually, when I see it in Russian movies, it feels like plagiarism because I can recognize the reference but there is nothing except for these references . But here we have got the plot, so the allusions work as allusions and don`t irritate me.

The movie is dark, disturbing, uncomfortable. It really makes you feel as if you watch devil and his escort marching around you; they ravage, kill and destroy everything and you can only breathlessly, helplessly and in fear watch them. The German actor playing devil is insanely good. He stole the movie and I understand why it should have been named Woland (the devil's name) instead of the current movie's name. You may want to watch it, because it's very unusual in terms of plot and visuals experience, especially when you are not familiar with the book.

random headcanons about ACOTAR men

i've already brought some of these up in pasts posts or comment sections but i'd figured i'd put them here too for fun

i always imagined helion as being like. ridiculously tall. like 7 feet at LEAST.

though all high fae have unnaturally long limbs and fingers, it's most obvious with the vanserras.

tamlin's canines can obviously lengthen into fangs, but even when they're resting naturally, they're visibly sharper than average.

rhysand's ears are pointed, but have more of a round arch to them and they're less long than non-mixed high fae ears.

i've talked about this one before, but high fae don't really have facial or body hair aside from pubic hair--and im talking like only in the crotch region, not pubic hair like under the arms, or even trailing below the belly button. they can't grow beards, and their smoothness is just another testament to their distinct lack of humanity. this applies to almost all high fae, except tamlin. he def has a happy trail and can grow stubble at the very least. his father considered it somewhat of an abomination, and would use it as an excuse to punish him when he couldn't come up with any other "valid" reason.

lucien's eye prosthetic extends beyond the actual eye--the gold gilding has also been implanted within the areas of flesh that had been clawed away above and below the eye socket, as almost a metallic skin graft, so it almost looks like he doesn't just have a mechanical gold eye, but an entirely gold skull underneath.

eris vanserra has short hair, and his drip is endless. he prizes jewelry as one of the most important garments a male can wear and is never seen leaving the house without it. his outfits are always tailored perfectly.

i always saw tarquin as having either desi features or central american indigenous features, but with hair shorn almost in a buzz, reminiscent of the style of deep-water free divers. i know it's an uncommon interpretation, but it's been what i've envisioned him as from the start.

in a similar vein, I always saw thesan as east asian, because i'm like 95% sure he states that his parents are from xian, which i assume is SJM's stand in for all of asia, which obviously encompasses an insanely large amount of cultures and common physical features depending on area. however, i always pictured him as specifically chinese inspired because xi'an is an actual city in china that has been around for a WICKED long time, so i just always assumed he was modeled with a chinese visual in mind.

cassian is bisexual. this one i've had since maybe the moment he was introduced. the bisexual vibes just radiate off of him i can't explain it.

azriel is a switch but he's more into bottoming than people often assume.

eris enjoys sports.

the illyrian males have traditional styles of dance reminiscent of hardcore slavic dances, like the ones where the dudes are like spinning around on their knees and crazy shit like that. the more they are able to keep their wings from scraping the ground, the more successful a dancer they are considered to be.

ok i have to go to bed so that is all for now

My take on who would she get along with

PRE MANOR

Lore: Franziska, a girl raised at an ordinary province was born on the grounds of Poland annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia. Like many other people, she felt like helping out on the field and in the barn was far from her calling, therefore, she hired herself at the most common occupation for poor women at the time - a Maid. It was a very unrewarding job. They barely could find any free time and often worked hard all week with very little pay. Franziska, that wasn’t yet aware of her gender identity quickly realized that this place is not good for her either, and the owners of the mansion she worked in didn’t treat their servants with respect, not even knowing their names. Together with other male servants, she often had to engage in tough physical jobs. Unconsciously, she would often daydream while gazing at the female workers skirts and beautiful hair coverings, which shortly after made her realize she feels more like a woman. Her stay at the rich house took a serious toll on her mental health - resulting in her burning down the place and running away with a traditional dress she stole from the owner’s daughter - leaving the then-rich family without a bright future.

AT OLETUS MANOR

Lore: Shortly after the accident, Franziska fled to England on a ship, where she began working for rich home owners. Her employer was a German man, which made the task more easy as she knew the language. His family was much more nicer than the previous one. Despite her pay being still very low, the owner’s wife started paying for her English tutor, which would help her a lot. After some time, she received a letter from the infamous Oletus Manor, inviting her to the crew: and promising a big pay that would let her find a better job. Franziska took the risk, but little did she know her task was going to be much more than just becoming a part of the crew.

Personality: Due to her difficult past, Franziska developed many unhealthy behaviours. First of all, she’s extremely paranoid nearly on the verge of schizophrenia. The feeling of guilt makes her think that she’s being followed. She can’t stand dirty places, she is a perfectionist that could clean one little spot for several minutes. Many people may consider Franziska not unapproachable, judging by her mean face expression, she is however extremely friendly and loves talking. She can judge someone easily as well - she’s prejudiced towards people of higher status - often without reason. During her free time she discovered her passion for literature, amazing, engaging stories. She wasn’t the best at reading but she would work on it. She formed a strong bond with Kurt through his stories, eventually becoming lovers.

This is lowkey half assed and i feel cringe posting this but whatever yall…i am cringe but free………i’m sure my goober would like to interact with other ocs……..

Pleek ignore the fact that this is anne’s model i happen to be very bad at drawing😔

New OCs from To Guard Against Titans!

Meet Kai Khan Petrenko (left) and his wife, Leda Svoboda (right).

They've already shown up in the longfic, sassing Crosshair, hitting on Hunter, and giving lip to Bobbie Draper. It's going to be fun with these two!

So let’s get started on this lovely OC Sunday!

—————

Name: Commander Kai Khan Petrenko

Nickname/s: KK, Kai, Captain P, mi anka (his husbands), Moya Lyubovna (Leda Svoboda)

Age: 43

Species:Human (Martian)

Height: 6’3

Weight/Build:  180 lbs, lean but muscular

Gender: Male 

Pronouns: He/them

Hair: Shaved on sides, with a fade leading up to a mix of dark brown, gray, and white. Has black and white goatee, with a fading beard on the side. 

Eyes: Black, narrow, very expressive eyebrows. 

Sexuality: Bi-sexual, polyamorous

Relationship status: Lives in a massive polycule system of 32 husbands on the Orda and various other ships, and one wife. His chief spouse/ankawala is his wife, Leda Svoboda.

Family: (see polycule information above), one son, Tengri Khan Svoboda, by his wife, Leda Svoboda. 

Occupation: Former MCRN Naval Pilot, former pirate/scavenger, Commander of the Golden Horde (formerly the Tryzub) fleet of mercenaries, captain of the heavy frigate, Orda 

Current location/from: Various stations across The Belt/Innis Shallows, Londres Nova, Mars

Voice: Baritone with a slight Texan accent, due to location on Mars where he was raised. 

Personality: Mars produces nothing if not direct individuals, and Kai Khan is a perfect example of this. Born in a rough part of Londres Nova in a Sino-Slavic enclave, Kai Khan grew up to serve Mars as a pilot for the MCRN fleet, but defected as soon as he could with other disillusioned Martians who tired of the neo-fascist regime of the Martian Congressional Republic, using the chaos of the Cold War between Mars and Earth to start their work as mercenaries. Shortly afterwards, he set up the mercenary/bounty hunting group, the Golden Horde in honor of their group’s collective Chinese, Mongolian, and Slavic heritage. Bold and courageous, the Golden Horde are willing to hunt and kill any and all, as long as they are paid and their independence respected. Fiercely loyal to his immediate ‘family’ of multiple husbands, Kai Khan is still inclusive of those who have been cast aside by society, especially after meeting his wife, Leda Svoboda. With both the birth of his only son, as well as the opening of the Ring Gates, he is now starting to think about settling down, and changing the model of the Golden Horde. This has set some serious issues within the faction, of which repercussions will be had. 

Flaws: Amorous and passionate, Kai Khan is a terrible flirt, loving to conquer men (but not women) and win hearts across galaxies. Completely eschewing his Martian heritage, he is fiercely independent and pig-headed, especially in battle. This makes him a fantastic ally to Clone Force 99, but a challenge to many grounded allies, such as Bobbie Draper and Camina Drummer. He is also somewhat careless in terms of others feelings or guidance, preferring to move ahead on his own accord, which can (and does) have serious consequences for him. 

Likes: Smoked black tea, the smell of wood (cedar), relaxing with his family, his son, massages, clove cigarettes, steam rooms, going fast on his ship, mixed drinks (rum and soda is a favorite). 

Dislikes: Bad smells, being bossed around, loud chewing sounds, canned vegetables, Martian culture. 

Desire: Kai Khan wants to see more freedom and liberation across the Ring systems. This draws him into more battles against the Empire, as well as into the work of Camina Drummer and the escaped clones on Medina Station. At the same time, he is desperate to settle down and give his family (especially his only child, six year old Tengri Khan Petrenko), a stable life. He is impressed with Clone Force 99 and the Rocinante as a result, and is especially drawn to Hunter, whose conflict with both a greater cause, but with a desire to protect his family, is pertinent.

—-- 

Name: Commander Leda Svoboda

Nickname/s: Mi kori (Kai Khan), Mama (Tengri), my love (Ixchel Jones), That Stupid Whore (Leo Frederick)

Age: 39

Species: Human (Earther)

Height: 5’8

Weight/Build:  140 lbs, once very active, age starting to have a toll taken on her. 

Gender: Female

Pronouns: She/they

Hair: Dark blonde with a massive white streak on the crown. 

Eyes: Large, pure blue, hooded. Very beautiful. 

Sexuality: Bi-sexual, polyamorous. 

Relationship status: Married in a massive polycule of 20 wives, and one husband, Kai Khan Petrenko. 

Family: One son, Tengri Khan Petrenko, 20 wives, 1 husband. Commanding Officer, Ixchel Jones is her chief wife.  

Occupation: Prostitute/pornographic film subject (former), gunner/communications specialist for the OPA (former), mercenary, co-commander of the Golden Horde, captain of the light frigate Mokosh. 

Current location/from: Various stations across the Belt/Kyiv, Eastern European Trade Zone. 

Voice: Alto, surprisingly deep, slight Eastern European accent. 

Personality: The most beautiful flower blooms in adversity, and Leda’s had plenty of it. An undocumented Earther who was forced into sexual work at a horrifically young age, Leda was able to get off of the planet with a stolen passport by her 18th birthday. A seasoned prostitute even by that age, she worked within communications in various Earther and Belter ships, eventually ending up on the Free Navy ship Zhong Qui, where she ran into Kai Khan Petrenko, as well as Tanke Drummer. Defecting with Petrenko (and quickly marrying him), Leda is direct, passionate, and focused, but unlike her husband, is much more guarded and quick to anger. She is protective of those she loves, especially her son, and–like her former lover, Tanke Drummer–will burn cities to the ground to make sure they are safe. Her wrath is legendary, and her friendship is not. 

Flaws: Leda knows that her beauty and body have been her greatest asset, and her hypersexuality with her many wives is tied into her deep insecurity and anxiety. This also causes her to be arrogant, pushing against quieter individuals such as Crosshair and Bobbie Draper.. Having suffered extreme sexual abuse, she is ferociously protective of her wives, and has a vicious, shoot-on-sight hatred of pirates and slavers. She is not an easy ally to win, but is loyal once done. She also struggles trusting men, viewing many as potential enemies and victimizers due to her history.

Likes: Her son, her wives, acoustic music, decorating, black tea, getting her hair done, make-up, plum wine, chocolate. 

Dislikes: Most Earthers, pirates, being bossed around, people who do not flirt with her back, the too educated, 

Desire: Leda wants her family to be safe. She is the main push for the Golden Horde to settle down, knowing that the Ring Gates, and the Empire, are filled with danger. Though, at the same time, her experiences in her childhood and young adulthood cause her to want to personally hunt down slavers and especially those that would harm children. This conflict will come to an absolute head when she is faced with the evils of both the Empire and Mt. Tantiss in To Guard Against Titans.

1-1 for radu and mateo?

i went with the assumption this meant 1-11 instead

1. What's your oc's gender identity? What's their relationship to their gender?

Radu's a man, and quite comfortable in it

Mateo's a man, comfortable like that, hasn't paid it much thought

2. What's your oc's orientation? (Romantic/sexual/platonic alterous ect) Do they have opinions about it?

Gay, and he will mention it liberally (sees hot man? "Wow I'm gay." Has to do something but he's tired? "No I'm gay I can't")

Pansexual, just vibing, gender/sex has no bearing he will attract everyone. Also polyamorous who favors having 2 partners

3. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know?

He kinda always knew, stared at pics of male models at clothing stores for too long as a kid, googled "two boys kissing" at like 11, got a painful gay crush on a straight friend as a teen, realized in ballet class that it was doing things to him etc.

He's always kept his options open because looks don't do anything to him, so when he realized a masculine voice did it for him too he was kinda like huh. Okay I can work with this. Got into polyamory through other people/being a third in a relationship, found out it suit him too

4. Is your oc's environment supportive about their identity? How does this impact them?

Mariya was very supportive, after all they're very close, Val laughed abt the google results Radu forgot to delete but he's bi himself so it would never have been a problem

Very supportive. Mateo has a lot of foster and adopted siblings who come from all walks of life and all that is accepted

5. How did you figure out your oc's identity?

Started off with it

It's almost like the default but also he was meant for a guy and a nb person so

6. How does your oc feel about labels? Theirs, or in general?

Uses gay liberally, has no issue with labels

Doesn't really label himself, just says that everything goes. If someone really wants to know he will say pan, no problem

7. Is there something that could cause your oc to question their identity? What?

He knows very well what he wants and likes, even when he had his worst issues with his own body he still wanted things, just didn't want others to see

He's so fluid and cool with it, so no. Even if he's comfortable in a monogamous relationship it won't make him question himself being poly

8. Have they had struggles with their identity, be it due to internal or external reasons?

Not particularly

Nah

9. Are there cultural or lore specific aspects to their identity? If applicable, does their species affect it?

With how far we are into the future I don't apply the kind of homophobia Slavic or South American Catholic cultures would have

10. Does your oc celebrate Pride? How?

Doesn't go over the top but a rainbow flag can be at his home year round

Not particularly

11. Is your oc open about their identity? Are they more lowkey or more blunt about it? Why or why not?

General social anxiety stops him from talking abt it to strangers but friends do know

He's very casual about it but will do stuff like mention having ex-boyfriends if it applies

[thespianinthebackcorner]

We haven't heard shit about Alice's husband but I designed him anyway

let me explain myself.

I don't usually do fandesigns (god knows I'm bad at drawing) but I think too much and probably shouldn't be applying our-world genetics to Teyvat. Even so, I've had the thought for a while that by the rules of modern genetics, Klee's father would need to have very pale hair and eyes for Alice's traits to be genetic, since it's semi-canon that Klee is basically a small version of her mother. So Alice's husband would have to be an albino, or something very close to that. Then I reread Alice's speech from the original Golden Apple Archipelago event, and started thinking what if Alice's family were allegories/connected to the four seasons somehow. Klee is summer, obviously, Alice is spring since she gives life and is explosively enthusiastic, also very double-sided which if you've ever seen a spring storm develop in five seconds flat you'll know what I mean with that. Albedo is autumn because he's (a.) Born in autumn for them so I don't have a choice and (b.) Sits in between warm and cold personality-wise and can easily switch between the two, sometimes he's kind sometimes he's not but he tends to lean towards the colder side by default. So that would leave Alice's husband for winter and so guess what I did? I went full fantasy mode and made him a snow spirit of some sort. Snezhnayan dad ig. It would fit ngl a multicultural family suits them.

So I grabbed a base of Genshin's tall male model (thanks to @/moinii on Hoyolab for the base, very useful) and designed him myself. Paragraph post incoming because I must explain my every action like a criminal whenever I do these

it's very much a beta design so if there's any design suggestions I'll be happy to put them in.

For reference these are his shoes since his coat covers most of them.

My colour palette:

I explained earlier that I came up with the idea for him to be a Snezhnayan snow spirit, fitting in with the winter aspect of the family's season-based theming that I came up with out of nowhere. Because of that he doesn't need a Vision (and thank god for that I don't want to draw one.) I also referenced a previous idea I had that he'd look closer to Albedo, being a sort of visual missing link between the family- as in, when all four of them are there, you can actually kind of tell that they're family.

I decided to try and look for any Slavic or Russian snow spirit mythology to see if I couldn't find a base. Surprisingly, there weren't many (probably because they had more focus on the harvest and summer seasons like most mythologies do.) The best i could find was the Mythology Wiki page for an entity known as the Zimadevushka, which from the description is an entity that uses attraction to lure people into the snow. While I wouldn't say they're the same as a Succubus, they're fairly similar in respects to their ability to shapeshift to fit someone's tastes. While Zimadevushka are usually female, there is a male version known as Zimamalchik, so that's what I based this fandesign off of. That said, I'm being tentative with this as I can't seem to find any other resources for this particular entity.

the Cicin wings were a personal choice. I wanted his back to be more interesting, and that's what I chose- despite the fact that he wouldn't nessecary need them, per se.

I found images online of 16th century Russian mens outfits and used the heavy coats as a basis for this. Although he is a Mondstadter, I wanted this to be his true form, what he looks like without any illusions. Although the original idea was more of a snowstorm spirit, I'm kinda attached to the idea of him being a Zimamalchik, since there's something romantic about an entity using love to lure others in being lured away from home by someone they themselves have fallen for.

For the brushes, I did this on Ibispaint, and while it was mostly just regular hard pen, (sizes 2.3 and 4.1 for the lineart) I used a watercolour pen for the shoes to try and convey the fact that they're furry shoes, and for the rings at the top of his shoes and the ends of his sleeves I used a crayon brush. The snowflakes I just used one of the stamp brushes, because I'm not a coward and take what I can get. His hair was modeled off my siblings' (shoutout Leo) because I wanted him to have fluffy hair. I didn't shade except for the highlights n stuff in the eyes because I wanted this to just be his base colours. And also because it took a day just to do the draft sketch so I wasn't gonna fuck around with the lineart and colour. The glasses were... Just because. I think he's cute with glasses. He's not jacked, just wearing a thick coat 😂

But yeah, my image of Alice's husband has been shaped by years of headcanons to try and make up for the empty space he's left in canon. To me he's a really nice guy who's a mediator. He was probably good friends with Ivanovna. My #1 headcanon for him is that he has more of a connection to Albedo than Alice does, but less so to Klee (although he'd gladly die for them both anyway.) While he's still sentimental about Snezhnaya, he's happy living in Mondstadt, especially since there he can get out of being drafted into the Fatui. While Alice is more connected to humanity, he's less so, which helps since he's taken up the mantle of a literal father figure for Albedo. 🤍 I realise he's not a talked about character at all but if anyone does have heacanons (or suggestions for design edits lmao) do tell!!! I can't be the only one thinking about this man can i

"radfem is completely incompatible with nazi ideology"

Radfemistan

- won't stop stanning JK Rowling who asked an athlete to publicly display her genetic pattern to prove she wasn't a man

- casually rehash white supremacists talking point to justify not caring about women from some "homophobic" countries

- won't acknowledge racist white women being held accountable by WOC and rather pull out the "it's misogyny" excuse

- won't stop elevating White women are the model standard of female oppression (remember when they called Amber Heard "perfect misogyny"?)

- radical feminism can actually be compatible with White supremacism (homonationalism)

- have playeforms where they shit on black women for being "too male identified" (as if most white women didn't vote for an alleged rapist as the president if the United States of America) but yeah that's nothing to do about racism

- let's not talk about slavic/russian radfem and what's going on in their hellbound discord groups...

Hello! something's got me really curious lately! 🤔 What are the likes and dislikes of the three sisters, Lynn, Ash, and Rose? Do they get along or is it all just a facade? Will they find each other again or will the drama separate them forever? But most importantly… which one should we be more afraid of? 👀🔥 Seriously, thanks for giving us so many amazing stories, you've got me hooked! Keep it up, you're awesome!

どうもありがとうございます！

Oh, wow, that’s really kind of you to ask! I never thought I’d ever have to answer such a question!🥲 I’ll try to respond without going into too much detail, but I’m not sure if I can manage that. 😉

From a biological standpoint, the girls aren’t family, but the bond they share is strong enough that they see each other as sisters. Their fates were linked together by the will of the Mother Goddess, the All-Mother or Moira. She has many names and is called differently in different faiths.

Rose is the eldest of them. She comes from one of the Slavic tribes inhabiting Eastern Europe. She wanted to become a priestess of the Mother Goddess, but her family wanted to marry her off to a wealthy merchant. On the night before her wedding, Rose sacrificed herself to the Mother Goddess. Because she was pure and her offering pleased the goddess, Rose received her greatest blessing and became a goddess herself. She gained the ability to move freely between worlds, as well as the power to create life and draw from its sources. Even though her physical form is fragile, she has virtually unlimited regenerative abilities (depending on her environment and available resources). She is a traveler who stubbornly searches for her place, which is why she roams different worlds. I think she is the most dangerous of the three sisters because of her power and lack of a moral compass. To her, life and death are natural cycles, and if she deems it appropriate to turn someone into fertilizer, she will do so without hesitation. Lawrence was able to harm her simply because she allowed it. She was intrigued by this strange being who still considered himself human.

Ash comes from a long line of witches who worshipped the Mother Goddess and, in return, received her blessings. Despite a curse placed on one of her ancestors, they managed to expand their lineage until now. Ash is the last of her line, so the Mother Goddess granted her another blessing: the witch could extend her own life by taking it from men due to the curse. Ash discovered this by accident when her first lover died during intimacy. She decided not to procreate and instead focused on achieving immortality. She is driven by a desire to possess power as boundless as that of the Mother Goddess. She is relentless and will stop at nothing to reach her goal. She is particularly dangerous to men, whom she despises and sees merely as potential sources of life energy.

The youngest is Lynn, marked by the Mother Goddess from the moment of her conception. She is an ordinary human whom the Mother Goddess blessed with a peculiar gift that draws dangerous and troubled individuals to her like a magnet. She herself longs to find true love, as her life has lacked a male role model from the start (she was raised without a father). This makes her prone to entering relationships that only bring her pain, much to the apparent delight of the Mother Goddess.

The girls can stay together in one of the worlds, where they live in Ash’s house. Rose moves there effortlessly, Ash uses spells, and Lynn requires Rose’s help—but she must die first.

If I ever continue the series and manage to finish it, I’ll delve deeper into the girls’ relationships. The older sisters are most concerned about Lynn because she is the most vulnerable and, as the Mother Goddess’s favorite, endures the greatest suffering. Each of them is aware that their fate is guided by a higher power. Rose has come to terms with this, Ash rebels and tries to change it, while Lynn simply denies it.

I hope I managed to answer your questions, dear Anon. Take care!

modding in general has honestly made me realize tw3 outfits aren't all that hot anyway. they do their job based mostly on color scheme and vibe but every female character design has glaring issues that really stick out once you try putting them in a different setting.

syanna's outfit is the only one i don't hate, could do without heels but otherwise it's entirely practical and the little frills on her shirt are like saying "hey i'm still highborn".

anna's riding outfit and shani's blouse&vest are also cute, the bottom parts less so. yen's vanilla jacket is fine and in her case i give the heels a pass.

everything else unless it's anna's/birna's/iris's dress or actual armor (ugly, but practical at least) sucks ass.

if i had to point out everything wrong with both ciri's """armors""" i'd be here all day. yen's dlc outfit looks cool, but doesn't work even in this setting, let alone elsewhere. they wanted her to be morrigan so bad...this is "catch pneumonia in hundred and one way, the outfit". cerys and vernossiel look ok, if a bit forgettable and boring, until you notice neither of them is wearing pants. priscilla's skirt and washed up color scheme suck. the sorceress dresses (most leftover from w2 by the way) are trying to be personalized but are sure as hell a far cry from the independent fashion divas from the books (yeah most of them are in hiding. then give them pants). keira looks like the only person who knows where she is, nip slip neckline and bare feet are explainable without mental gymnastics and both versions of the dress actually look nice (and vaguely slavic). tho she should've gotten pants for the battle of kaer morhen. ves, another leftover from w2, still looks ridiculous. corinne in her dress in novigrad...im tired man. vanilla triss outfit that looks specifically made to emphasize the boobs doesn't even faze me anymore but it is still awful to look at considering. but the dlc dress... it obviously doesn't make sense for someone in hiding but even if it was in the right setting, it's just goddamn fucking ugly. uncomfortable to look at. on a male model it looks better because at least it no longer seems like your entire tits will be out the moment you bend two degrees forward but it's still an ugly mess that can't decide on pattern and style. want something vaguely elven out of this game (this game that completely shat on aen seidhe and only gave us two aen elle women, one naked and one in the elf brothel ensemble tm)? try yen's skirt and one of the sorceress dress tops, it's still ass but at least less of an affront to taste than that frankenstein's monster of a design.

i'm this close to going on a crusade against that fucking triss dlc dress
