need baizhu to be sooooo fond of me because i am so silly and naive and fall sick so easily. so silly and sweet and vulnerable that he sometimes doesn’t give me the right medicine on purpose because frankly he thinks it’s cute when i’m sick and immobile in bed

SO unfortunately for me because Captain is getting changed so much I now have the dilemma of Riku's persona choices. Again 💀

Lugh (second tier) is fine. I am adamant that is not changing - mostly because it fits but also because if I'm honest Lugh is my favourite Irish Celtic God and if I can be self indulgent with Mordred I can be self indulgent with Lugh.

Pimpernel on the other hand is trickier (surprise surprise). I think the reason I am so fixated on getting this right is because the initial persona to me is the most important one - its the one that people tend to remember the most and I feel like it's an important representation of the character.

I think what Pimpernel does fit with, in the context of the new stuff, is Riku's idea of rebellion? Perhaps? Like a gentleman hero who is a master of disguise and saves people from a terrible fate (that is a very bare bones view of Pimpernel mind you) makes sense on paper.

I think what I need to do is define Riku's idea of rebellion. It's kind of hard to put it in to words if I'm honest lol - I know Riku in my head he is like my best friend but when I try to explain it its like uhm 🧍‍♂️

None of this means that I'm actually going to change the persona - if anything this is just me typing my thoughts out.

DUMBASS. you’re trying your best, you really are, but you just might need to put a little more thought into your thought process. you really shouldn't jump off that many buildings, eat that many strange glowing substances, or trust that many evil witches. but hey, we love you anyways. (picrew)

-- TAKING A BREAK --

hewwo, im gonna be taking a break from tumblr for the next while.

ive come to realize that im on tumblr wayyyy too much bc of my (newly found) ocd so im leaving for a while to try and deal with it (+ other stuff in the op tags)

i'll be back once im satisfied w/ my progress, but there is a chance i won't be back for months, so if u want to stay in contact send me a DM w ur discord or smthn, i'll check them a couple of times in the next couple days, but after that no tumblr at all.

so yeah, byebyes & i'll see u people later hopefully <3

oh no not people falling for propaganda abt the shooter's alleged politics and handwringing about violence when this one guy and his action have done more to bring people together against the ultra rich ruling class and make them fear working class power than any number of peaceful actions and lukewarm philosophizing in the past 5 years

it's. interesting. the way that irving is popularly interpreted. i regularly see people who imply that he purposely leads mages into performing blood magic, only to pull the rug out from under them and expose them to the templars, in order to fulfill some type of quota (?unclear) because “see? we catch x number of suspected maleficar a year, we must be doing our jobs right”

so, okay. kinloch hold has the reputation of being the most liberal circle, because it doesn’t censor information. knowledge about blood magic rituals isn’t suppressed, necessarily; they hope that their teachings (and the implicit threat of the templars) are enough to keep people from acting on it, but people are still allowed to read about it. this is wild

the codex entry “Irving’s Mistake” reveals a lot. he writes, “The environment of the tower is such that certain modes of thought are encouraged, both for good and ill.” and it’s easy to take this as an admission that these “certain modes of thought” means they're just. straight up encouraging blood magic. but in tandem with the above fact (kinloch mages don’t censor information just because they disagree with it), ive always assumed it means that they encourage apprentices to question authority and use their Critical Thinking Skills to decide what chantry rules are actually worth following, rather than obeying blindly.

the danger with that is, everyone holds different values, and some people believe “blood magic is forbidden” is a rule that’s not worth listening to. and then we get uldred.

this is still irving’s fault, because he encourages his circle to question authority, but it’s not entrapment. he’s encouraging his circle to wring freedom and independence out of the small bit they’re offered

i also think his treatment of jowan is a little bit of. trying to play 4d chess without fulling understanding the pieces. he identifies jowan as someone of weak will, who could be easily manipulated by a bad actor. i honestly believe it was an empty threat, and irving’s thinking was something like:

-i am the first enchanter and i have blind spots. i know there are people in the circle who operate in those blind spots to prey on apprentices

- i have identified one of these vulnerable apprentices. i will present a false accusation, which will hopefully scare him straight if he was considering it. he may also reveal names of people who tried to influence him. if he has done nothing wrong, there’s nothing to worry about; we can investigate and it will turn up nothing because he is already innocent :)

his biggest problem was, in my opinion, having too much trust that everyone else would share his perspective. sort of has the mindset of "well, i read about some ancient tevinter blood magic rituals and i turned out okay" without realizing how insidious uldred etc. had gotten at manipulating people from the time they were children

I love omorashi art so much because you will see the most random non-human sometimes objects characters you've ever seen pissing themselves HARD

[themyscirah]

Thinking about current continuity Vanessa and just getting pissed off again

Like one, LET HER REST oh my god dc you ruin her FUCKING life like an asshole only to bring her back as a villain after she finally got out oh my god-

But also like its just so bad. This is a whole other woman with her name like why are we doing this. Like first you kill her mom (JULIA NOOO) and erase her YEARS of history growing up around diana (the thing that actually made her villain turn [if you can call it that w the level of manipulation involved] interesting and fucking heartbreaking) for some shitty "oh I saved you we were friends" run of the mill whatever. Then to use that and say Nessie had a crush on her OWN SISTER (Diana, so like informally adopted, but still 😡) now????

And then they took away her curls and made her a redhead but not even the realistic kind. DC SHE DOESNT LOOK LIKE THAT

It just makes me so mad. Freaking guys. They could have used another name like oh my god. She's not even the first silver swan why the fuck would they do that if they're not going to explore her history w diana (which she no longer has!!!!) or how intensely fucked up everything got for her. What is even the fucking point of this then other to drag a main character of the ww supporting cast through the mud again for genuinely no reason. They could have easily had her be Valerie Beaudry (sorry Val) instead or just MADE UP ANOTHER NAME because it's obvious that no one actually cared about her as a character they just wanted the wondy villain back so like !!!!!!!!!! Why even bother

maybe im just following the wrong people to have seen these takes so many times but i dont trust people who go out of their way to make posts like “HEY. PEOPLE WHO MAKE ACE HEADCANONS ABT [CHARACTER]. youre Absolutely Wrong actually and heres why [insert a zillion paragraphs of evidence where they act victimized by those horrid asexuals pushing their headcanons on op’s precious allosexual faves]. ofc i respect aces tho hc whatever you want”

like. live and let live?? sure if you dont headcanon a character as ace then thats perfectly great, its your hc. but like Going Out of Your Way to Announce to Everyone that this one specific headcanon is wrong actually and the people who think it should shut up??? hello?
