#so i dont wanna do the same here

[3-aem]

I just wanted to say I really like your art and appreciate that you share it with us. I know there are very vocal people out there who bring up past mistakes, but I and many others have seen you take accountability and change. I think this nk person is just chronically online and likes drama. Some people just cannot accept the fact that people can make mistakes and then grow. There is a common mentality nowadays of "once wrong, always wrong." Your work is beautiful, and we can see the hard work you put into it.

I'm normally a quiet reblogger but I'm sending this because I want you to know you still do have a lot of people who support you and your work!

i am relieved to hear this. all i want is to show i have taken accountability and changed. all i want is to prove my work is not ai. as long as my followers understand that i can feel some peace.

i want to be clear that im not saying i feel my mistakes were whatever. im also not sitting here buying into the belief that person is jealous. i hope i am making that clear. what i did was hurtful to some people, i want to acknowledge that. i have sat with this a long time. i eventually determined this to not be fair. especially line “whom you all love so much” which heavily suggests a gripe with the wrong thing, and not a genuine care that i have taken accountability.

i did not just remove the piece, i paid the artist double the profits and it was agreed upon and settled. i reached out to artists to apologize and ask for permission to keep certain works up. this is well documented.

but knowing this, because I told them Directly and they acknowledged they read it first, nk still proceeded to send two more callouts and linked a post where they accuse me of being ai and selling copied work for profit.

these are very heavy allegations that can destroy an artist and so it needs Ongoing substantial proof. Nk could not provide any but treated it as such. its careless disregard. so i agree they wanted a reaction. they do not actually care even if they claim to have followed me back at one point. like that means anything given the rest of the context.

the fact is i have lost many many mutuals and friends from this. i have since experienced multiple cases of using the same reference as another artist and being accused of copying and stealing from them because of this. See yunonai, that one draco malfoy fic, and that sad suguru where he’s touching his eyes. i no longer have the benefit of doubt for a lot of people. i can work on accepting that as my fault, my problem. but i cannot accept what nk specifically did.

the final straw for me was not that i woke up with a vendetta to settle. it was seeing other artists and creators doing the same things with no consequence. it was seeing them take far less accountability. while i sit and try hard to make things right only to be told repeatedly its not enough.

consistent characterization of pb is that if youre conventionally cute she will like you and pull you out of danger but if youre kinda offputting or ugly she will let bad things happen to you in front of her and she might even openly blame you for them

ur probably sick of seeing posts like these but i just want to sit here and muse about how, well, i enjoy tumblr #mytumblr not just because of all the obvious stuff like how it’s not run on an algorithm, and because it’s one of the only social media that i don’t have to jump through hoops to use and that isn’t phone-exclusive (for me)

but i think my favorite thing has to be the askblogs, and running one. which is weird, because if you asked me as little as 3 years ago what i loved most about tumblr, i’d probably say “uh, looking at owl house posts, i guess?”, it’s weird because i never actually planned to make one and created it on a whim based on a few random people’s tags, and even then it was made mostly as a joke. i just never thought about it before—i grew up with askblogs, an era of tumblr that was truly as magical as it was catastrophic (as all things that get vaguely popular), but i never thought about making one because: it’s a commitment, it seems like a lot, i’m inconsistent, how would i draw for it every single time, etc etc all that good stuff

but then i just made it. and fuck me is it the most fun thing ever. it doesn’t have to be consistent. it doesn’t have to be perfect, or polished, or anything really. it just has to be. to exist out there in the world and be open to messages. the most it has to be is loved by me and by u guys.

and that’s the thing! the best thing—i love involving u guys in my writing, pushing the characters in one direction and then the next, seeing where that takes us (because i don’t always know either, that’s what writing is all about babeyyy). i love that i don’t have to just post the most important plot beats one after the other and have the story be done there. i love that i get to weave the development through vaguely connected, sometimes relevant but sometimes completely random joke asks. that i don’t have to write a whole ass novel of build-up or draw everything as one long-running comic just to make my characters feel like they actually exist and react to the things around them, that they’re not just here to get from point a to b. and i love that you’re all part of it. the story seriously just wouldn’t be the way it is without all of you guys who are always so curious to ask something, or call a character out (depending on how much they need to be humbled COUGHHHHCOUGHHHHH)

so yeah, i’m just forever grateful for all of you and for the fact that tumblr allows things like these to happen. i have no idea what other site could possibly offer the same sort of experience, or anything similar, but i am just forever in love with the fact that it’s something you can do here. i wouldn’t trade it for anything. what a cool fucking thing to be able to do

chat if i may speak

[dartalias]

There is a problem bothering me for a time whenever i wanna do fanarts of one of this characters, you see:

Kyoshi looks like Jesa, who looks like Yangchen

So logically Kyoshi probably also looks like Yangchen

But for the theory of the "reincarnation gets the past lovers face's" (that is cannon to me) Kyoshi's face looks like Ummi's

So Ummi looks like Yangchen???

[This would make Kuruk/Kyoshi messy love life much more messy]

And like... Jesa also looks like Ummi??

[Again, their weird love life mess, SOOOO more messier]

i made a graphic for illustrate this:

Its not completed yet and Froget to put their names but its

Kyoshi -> Ummi

Jessa -> Yangchen

Ps: The orenge "???" Ones are the most confusing ones

Ps 2: im not so sure of Ummi tone skin, i try to get directly from a screenshot but turns out pink, she looks more ligth skin then Kuruk or Katara, like mester Paku, put i always thogth of her more towards princess Yue features that are like a in-between?? But that its just me trying to figure out fanart sorry

[clowningaroundmars]

blocked the person who's answering (i'm p sure everyone knows who they are by now LOL), but as i went to do it i couldn't help but see this ask and just.

like.

well, okay 🙄

one, this take is as stale as a corpse. like WHAT a lazy answer that misses the point of mason and the entire verger storyline not just in the show but also in the book. but i guess if your only point of reference for mason is the show (which was forcibly halved by nbc, therefore leaving out a few important key details abt his character) then i SUPPOSE i understand where this attitude comes from

and two, fuck them for making me break down and analyze and lowkey defend mason's character??? not mason verger himself but i mean his character and the role he plays in the series. bc thomas harris is many things but a lazy writer he is NOT, thanks very much

i hated going back thru a great book only for mason's parts but whatever. i'll do it

so let's get into it ↓

yes, mason's character serves as a point of reference to judge hannibal and his morality against. however... that is literally. every single character in the series both in the show and the book.

the other serial killers in the show like ingram, the human mural guy, alana, jack, abigail, even margot are at times temporary stand-ins serving as mirrors to reflect what we know and understand about hannibal right back to us.

so if you're gonna complain about mason's character serving as a backdrop to gauge hannibal's own actions and supposed moral compass against, i'm afraid you're going to have to carry that energy across the entire cast.

but sure, let me entertain the idea that mason-- and only mason-- has one role to play, and that role is "to make hannibal look like the lesser evil". even then, that argument dissolves into complete and utter horseshit once you take a slightly longer look into mason and his kiddie pool playskool leapfrog-esque levels of sadism

and i emphasize how childish and petty mason's level of sadism and villainry are because... that's exactly what they are. a child's idea of a villian, not a real psychopathic sadist. not like will and hannibal are.

mason is literally nothing. like i said in a previous post attempting to break mason's pathetic character down, he is actually a sniveling spoiled little coward who can only dream of having what hannibal-- and most importantly, will-- has.

mason does not touch hannibal. in terms of intellect, confidence, self-acceptance, sadism, cruelty, cleverness, taste... hannibal sweeps all of the medals across the board and does so effortlessly. to name mason as the worst character in the show or even the books wrt villainy would be like quivering in fear over barney the dinosaur

because in a subconscious way... hannibal represents molson, mason and margot's father, and molson knew exactly how deep to stick the knife into a pig's back to check the depth of the fat

in the book, molson's grand (albeit evil) schemes and numerous accomplishments in his efforts to build the verger empire into what it was, was contrasted by mason's own pithy little attempts to helping dear daddy out on the farm: at one point, mason stepped in to lead the sales of some american swine so that they would be imported to haiti after a "disease" (the excuse the us govt used thanks to verger cash) forced the UN to step in and slaughter most of the native pigs there.

it failed spectacularly after the pigs immediately died once coming into contact with an environment unlike anything they've been raised in, thus forcing the haitian farmers to keep purchasing pigs to replenish their stock and eventually they grew frustrated and ended their contract with the verger company altogether

mason can never live up to molson, and that shit hurts him deeply. he literally lives and dies by his father's legacy, the bastard can never stop talking abt him in the show for even a minute!

for an empire to grow to the size and power that molson helped it get to, that requires a level of empathy and understanding that even mason himself acknowledges in both the show and the book... a level of empathy mason could never achieve, even in his wildest dreams. "papa always said that the slaughterhouse business was always a people business first and foremost" and no one knew that better than mason himself.

to emphasize this, hannibal points out quite accurately that mason often miscalculates. mason lacks the empathy and understanding that his own father wielded like a tool, like the knife he used to check a pig's fat. mason often miscalculated, and that deficiency in his imagination cost him dearly; he underestimated hannibal, that cost him his freedom. he underestimated the upkeep of the pigs he was in charge of, that cost him his father's respect and money for the business. he underestimated margot, that cost him his life.

miscalculations all around

but hannibal never miscalculates. he never underestimates or overestimates anyone. neither does will, because will has the gift of hyperactive mirror neurons to aid his sadism. they both toy with mason like a puppet and neither of them even have to try that hard to do it at all.

to say that Mason Roland Verger is worse and more evil than Hannibal Lecter is the most inaccurate and god awful take i've ever had the displeasure of seeing. sure, you could say it's a matter of opinion and most people find mason's character and personality revolting, rightfully so.

but to say he's more evil than hannibal by asserting that he's "the perpetrator of the most vile act" is such an insult. (and btw which act is that? The Most Vile Act? uhh which one? cuz he's done quite a lot lol)

mason's character serves not to make hannibal "look like the lesser evil", but to make him look like the Even Better evil. the more sophisticated, psychopathic, chilling and effective evil. the REAL boogeyman, not the monster hiding under children's beds at night, despite everything that mason ever did.

but hannibal? hannibal doesn't get off on petty acts whatsoever. it's usually never emotional bc people are always just a means to an end for him, never quite the source of his pleasure; even when hannibal's victims are wealthy, powerful, or both, hannibal is never swayed by anyone's identity or existence. he kills indiscriminately, and he kills opportunistically, with barely any discernable pattern aside from what he takes.

yeah, mason gets his sick kicks off making children cry, visiting violence upon women, engaging in rape and incest with margot, pedophilia, racism, sexism, public masturbation, etc. i would never defend him as a person bc i'm not stupid... for the most part

put some mfing respect on mr. harris' name!

hannibal isn't the "lesser" evil. neither is will. mason is. that's mason's entire point of existing in the story.

anyways, rant over.

thx for reading :)
