my sixteenth century epic au where everything is pretty vague on the details except the piles and piles of aeolus sixteenth century epic au lore bc its my au and i can do whatever if like
(warning for a 30 tag yap in the tags but i can go on trust)
#opā€™s two cents#ooc#aeolia is france#olympus is britain#ody and the crew are nights from whatever european country i decide ithaca is#instead of a windbag aeolus gives them a royal seal of approval/crest of some sort#but the winions#who are just a flood of royal bastard children aeolus is stuck with bc she doesnt have a real job (just a girl šŸ„ŗ)#dont get past the language barrier with the crew#and they think its the winions telling them to be wary of it in some weird ancient language#(theyre hungry and tired abd delirious give them a break)#and steal it from ody#and mind u aeolus doesnt seem trusrworthy bc she is far too trusting#her hair isnt even in a french hoodšŸ˜Ø or even any kind of bonnet#just out#so untrustworthy#lady of the house but theres no lord? sus#so they take it from ody and then he gets in trouble bc rhat was gonna be his get out of jail free card with poseidon#king of whatever european country i decide#bc he blinded his son when he started to fight them for trespassing#and he already had a blind eye from another battle earlier in life#so now ody has to face poseidon and he puts most of his men in jail and is gonna sentence him to beheading#but he finds the seal or crest or whatever#and the leastrygonian guards helpinf poseidon are like well i mean hes got the thingg sooo#hes let go#and then hermes talks to aeolus and gets another one to give him in the vengeance saga equivalent#and then he uses that in his final fight with poseidon just outside of his countries boarders#also hes not a king here just a nobleman but its gonna be a rlly small powerless country im gonna choose#so the kings dgaf#and when he stabs poseidon with his own sword it humiliates him sm that he doesnt sentence ody to anything

Checking up on his commission
#hate this guy. spoilers under tag cutoff#i fear i may have cooked with the tags. slash jay.#I've always imagined him with Particulars but I keep forgetting to draw them til like now#he speaks in lowercase to me. for reasons#I wanna know more about this untrustworthy bisexual but I also kinda wanna attack him every time he shows up#cant wait for the inevitable boss fight#fun fact: according to the dictionary 'nebulae' can refer to a clouded spot on the cornea that can cause defective vision#a limbus is 'the junction of the cornea and sclera in the eye'#so I think I speak for us all when I say WHAT THE FUCK MAN#what the hell was he on abt with Dante falling from the sky. and by sheep does he mean June 985 or?#if anyone wants to theorise on my post I'm all for it#limbus company#dante lcb#demian lcb#ā°šŸ#unfortunately proud of that caption btw he really is just wanting his comm#HM WAIT BACK AGAIN#is the way the San was on about with leading the fallen nebulae home what causes J985?#as in - it is not people dying but them returning to their rightful place outside the City#with Purgatorio being the war šŸ“˜[i think] mentioned#is the doomsday Dante's head leading to the war? it typically refers to humanity's self destruction#or any globlal catastrophe#oh ok with PM is being sneaky again the Wiki page says it was inaugurated in June and guess when the MDE is#but generally things like nuclear war - AI and climate change are the main factors contributing to it#and we've already faced AI in the prev games via Angie so presumably one of the others will be the main force behind Dante's midnight#i personally like the nuclear angle given how Dante's head is already a clock#*BOMB. THEIR HEAD IS A BOMB THAT CAN BLOW UP#please do not write tags at night this was a bad idea

"these jewish bloggers keep saying it's possible to talk about gaza without being antisemitic but keep saying everything i say is antisemitic so clearly they just don't want us talking about gaza"
it's actually really easy to talk about gaza without being antisemitic if you're not antisemitic, and really hard if you are antisemitic. hope this helps

I see so many Locked Tomb posts about people saying they just realized Jod was lying in this or that scene, and this is where I realized that I interact with these books fundamentally differently from the rest of yā€™all. The moment I found out Jod set G1deon on Harrow everything he had ever and would ever say was considered null and void. To me he is a pathological liar and nothing he says is ever to be trusted. Iā€™m obsessed with him.

You know, I think there's something so, so insidious to the idea that Orym's perspective of the Vanguard is "flawed/human" or that him repeatedly reminding his friends what the Vanguard does (kill innocents to achieve their means) "blocks nuance" in the conversation, etc, because it implies that, in this mythical "objective" perspective that apparently exists, the Vanguard aren't so bad. If only Orym could put aside his petty grievances, such as the murder of his father and husband, and let people be nuanced about this situation, he'd see there's two sides to this story. And why discount the Vanguard's perspective just because *checks notes* they're a massive, manipulative cult that preys on vulnerable people to join their ranks and turns them to violence, or that they work with a centuries-old fascist eugenicist literally mind-controlling psychic government with the goal of freeing a creature that could very well destroy the world as we know it and even if it doesn't, will leave an enormous power vacuum for that fascist government to potentially occupy when they invade Exandria?
I think there's some misconception people have that they think war shouldn't ever be personal and if it does become personal for someone then their logic is too clouded by their feelings to see the situation clearly, just automatically. And perhaps sometimes, in some contexts, this can be true! But not here. It's actually quite cut and dried that Orym's "flawed, human" perspective is the one reminding everyone of the human cost to Ludinus' grand plans, all in the name of so called "progress"

sorry but again. what is this. why is this a dialogue. dalish elves are not trusted nor wanted in human society. they are actively hunted and oppressed and enslaved specifically in tevinter. elves are treated horribly. how in the world did this become elves worrying if other people like them or not.

arranged marriage au but both you and character don't want to get married. however, in order to receive your inheritance, you have to agree to try your best to make this relationship work + because of similar familial pressure, character is also compelled to see this marriage through. however, your family does understand that if it's character that breaks off the engagement, they'll understand that you tried your best and you get full access to your trust fund and you don't have to tie the knot. for character, if you break off the engagement, he's in the clear, too.
so now, it's a competition between you two. unbeknownst to the other, y'all are both actively trying to get the other to get so frustrated that you'll send the loser running for the hills, crying to get the engagement broken.

Anyways, Zeke Jaeger had to sit down and realise that because of his decision at seven to turn in his parents as Eldian spies his dad essentially replaced him and Dina, went back to Paradis and had another wife and another son and on top of that he had to realise that after raising Zeke to be nothing but a pawn for Eldia, Grisha had gone and named his new son after Eren Kruger, the leader of the Eldian Restorationists, AND IF THAT WASNT BAD ENOUGH Zeke was probably aware enough to know that Grisha did that whilst being married to a woman who probably had no clue whatsoever as to who/what Grisha was and what the name symbolised.

Achi getting off on being one man's obsession
"a beautiful parallel between achi from cherry magic and kao from dark blue kiss is that both of those characters have a deep need for their boyfriends to be insane and obsessed with them to the point of being sad at the concept of this insane obsessiveness being absent" - inspired by this post by @katemagic!

Itā€™s so weird when people judge others based on their favorite character. ā€œi donā€™t trust hu fans because they all harass people about misogyny!ā€ ā€œi donā€™t trust david fans because theyā€™re weird!ā€ Do you guys hear yourselves rn? Liking a fictional character is in no way indicative of someoneā€™s morals and itā€™s a very odd prejudice to have. Thatā€™s a weird thing to judge someone you do not know on.

A Thematic Analysis of Chapter 2ā€™s Killer
Drdt spoilers. Obviously
Thereā€™s a lot of people who have started liking Ace more since this episode. I am not one of those people. Heā€™s always been my favorite character. Iā€™ve suffered from paranoia as well, and it sucks when people donā€™t take that shit seriously. Just because itā€™s irrational doesnā€™t mean itā€™s not harmful, and just because itā€™s stupid doesnā€™t mean the person suffering from it is stupid. I related to him a lot because of that. His issues are constantly downplayed by the people around him. Either that, or they think heā€™s irreversibly crazy for fears he canā€™t really control.
But besides that, I like him because his brain is fun to pick apart. He has so many problems. Itā€™s a genuine shame heā€™ll never be able to get over them. Itā€™s not the direction I expected his character to go, but it makes a lot of sense.
All that glitters is not gold.
The title made me think that a ā€œgood personā€ would be the killer, but it was Ace, a ā€œbad person.ā€ And his victim was Arei, another ā€œbad person.ā€ The people who died this chapter were the castā€™s ā€œworst people,ā€ people who were outcast by everyone else for being bullied. But this chapter also shows their human sidesā€”maybe they were only bad people because they were never given a chance to be good, like Arei. Maybe they were pushed to extremes because nobody treated their problems seriously, like Ace. Meanwhile, the castā€™s ā€œgood peopleā€ are all revealed to be worse than they seemed. That was the thematic reason behind the motive secrets. Some of the others have done things far worse than Arei or Ace.
Nico was someone most of the cast liked. They were never mean to anyone, and they were constantly the victim of Aceā€™s bullying. They were easy to like, or at least easy to not hate. They quickly formed a bond with Hu (because Hu seeks out people she thinks need her protection). But in this chapter, they tried to kill someone. They admit themselves that it was reprehensible. Nico is a ā€œbad personā€.
Hu was supportive of everyone in chapter 1, positioning herself as a motherly figure. She was kind, caring, and helpful. But in chapter 2, she infantilized Nico to the point that she thought they canā€™t speak for themselves during the trial. She let biases cloud her judgement. She derailed the trial without good reason, because she wanted to be helpful to Nico, even when they werenā€™t asking for her help. Hu is a ā€œbad personā€.
Levi was called a good person by Eden at the start. Heā€™s polite, takes care of other people, and reached out to Ace of all people. But in this chapter, itā€™s revealed that he did all of that for his own convenience. He doesnā€™t care about other people. Heā€™s a murderer. Heā€™s a ā€œbad personā€.
Levi threatened Ace, making Aceā€™s paranoia worse. Nico tried to kill Ace, confirming Aceā€™s idea that he was going to die if he didnā€™t get himself out of the killing game. Hu defended Nico, confirming Aceā€™s idea that everyone was against him.
The so-called ā€œbad peopleā€ are cursed to die, while the so-called ā€œgood peopleā€ are shown to have been bad all along.
And isnā€™t that far more interesting than showing that good people can do bad things, and ending it like that? Now all the so-called ā€œgood peopleā€ have to live with the fact that their actions led to Areiā€™s death, without having been Areiā€™s actual killer. Arei was killed by the castā€™s mistreatment, negligence, and trivialization of Ace Markey.
Thematically. Not literally, of course. Ace did that.
But their culpability in Arei and Aceā€™s deaths, even tangentially, shows in full color the consequences of letting their flaws go unchecked.
And in the context of Nico and Hu specifically, I canā€™t wait to see how that impacts them in the long run. Chapter 2 was all about facing the darkest sides of some of these characters. So wouldnā€™t it stand to reason that Aceā€™s death would influence some of them (like Nico) to examine their actions more closely and try to grow from them?
I can see Nico cutting off their friendship with Hu after this. She refused to acknowledge their fault in the situation. Since Nico is an objective person, I think theyā€™ll understand the part they played in the Ace/Arei situation, and want other people to understand it as well. They wonā€™t want Huā€™s misplaced protection anymore.
And for Hu, I have no idea where sheā€™s going after this. After her performance in this trial, where her flaws were pointed out to her by all the other characters, is she going to reflect and change? Or is she going to regress first, especially now that Ace, who she believed to be a villain, actually snapped and killed someone?
A big theme of chapter 2 has been growth. Ace shows the consequences of not growing. He was pushed to murder because of the rest of the cast not confronting their flaws, and he himself committed the murder because he didnā€™t know how to change.
Itā€™s a bit of a hopeful spin on his death, but Iā€™ll be honestā€”Iā€™m still majorly bummed out about it. His life has just been terrible and will be terrible until it ends. Heā€™s a horrible person with blood on his hands. Heā€™s a coward and a bully who is hated by everyone. Itā€™s all heā€™ll ever be, because heā€™ll die before having the chance to be someone else. Nico, through the sheer coincidence of having their murder interrupted, will be able to grow and change. Ace never will. A terrible life and a terrible death for a terrible person. And he wonā€™t be missed. Not like Arei. Not like Min. Not like Xander. People like Nico, Rose, and Eden may feel bad about it, but no one will miss Ace specifically, because no one likes him.
If you were able to change and become a better person, it only means you were a good person to begin with.
If you werenā€™t able to change, it means you were doomed from the start. Thereā€™s no use trying.
Thereā€™s another world where people took Aceā€™s fears seriously. Where they didnā€™t dismiss him as a joke at the start and a volatile dog at the end. He mightā€™ve survived if that happened. No matter what David says, bad people can change, if they know how to do it.
When this chapter finishes, I might make a full thematic analysis of it. There are still a bunch of things to say. Iā€™ll just leave this post off with: Nico survivor stocks going up! Invest now!

sl!scott is kinda tragic when you think about it from his perspective. like his ally wanted to team up with someone he saw as disloyal, and he was kinda powerless to stop it even though he was trying to protect gem throughout the season, while gem was down bad for the singular person scott did not trust. so.
