More art from this week's video! In which I made a more Genshin Impact OC’s! Second to last – (but certainly not least) – is this sword-wielding meteorologist from Liyue with an electro vision and a 100% chance of running into thunderstorms! ☔

while i do agree with the sentiment that bloodclan should be more nuanced as an entity i still believe it is wrong to portray them as the necessary "response" to clan injustice (haven't read the books in years but i am pretty sure that bloodclan started with no connection to the clans) / an opposition to the clan's flaws. some of the thing scourge did was out of selfishness and bloodclan isn't the other colour of the black and white debacle with the clans. the clans are heavily flawed yes, but it isn't realistic to completely say that their structure had no redeeming qualities altogether and that all outsider groups is fundamentally better than the clans.

all clans and groups are flawed in their own way and i believe we shouldnt brush past the things that other groups (the sisters and what they do with their toms *cough cough*) did solely to be able to degrade the clans and their culture.

Buddy, you're setting up a strawman. I promise you that if you look into the reduxes I've made of BloodClan, Guardians, The Sisters, and the Tribe, you will see that I don't make any of them a "flawless" alternative to Clan life.

Nor do I say that the Clans have no redeeming qualities. In fact, you can browse the "Clan Culture" tag to see the various expansions I've made to show how these traditions, values, and technological advances make Clan life so alluring.

The overarching theme of BB is that the nature of culture is change. For better AND for worse.

With respect, I think there's something insidious in the wording of "the things the other groups did." We're talking about fan responses to a work that consistently demonizes and degrades foreigners to make the Clans look like the "best way to live," justifying xenophobia. These are not real groups, they are writing choices.

In the franchise with some pretty extreme examples of misogyny, the authors said "What if bizarro world where women rule and have no men... woag..." and only includes a single Clan-alligned member of this culture, with a BAD opinion of them, who can't even do his diplomatic job because he HATES them so much.

In the same franchise that shows Fireheart getting bullied, facing prejudice, and fighting a murderous tyrant who publically executes a mixed-race character, their endgame villain is an outsider, like him, but this one IS a godless heathen who HATES love and friendship and banned families.

In the VERY same franchise which made its first non-malicious group barely able to get through an arc without needing to be saved by Clan cats, totally unable to defend themselves, framed as "whiny" for not wanting their clearly 'inferior' culture to be forcefully changed.

And I'm re-stating all this because, again, no offense to you in particular Anon, but I've been seeing a few people with a sentiment like yours lately. Complaints into a vacuum that don't make targeted critique of anyone's fanworks, gesturing at this broad "woobification" which is apparently out there somewhere over the rainbow, saying things like "well Scourge is selfish" or "well Moonlight abandoned her 13 year old" as if we haven't BEEN knew.

As if we're not all directly responding to these choices. As if I haven't written ESSAYS on this topic.

Since this was about BloodClan in particular though, and you admit you haven't read the books in years, please go back and actually read Rise of Scourge before trying to make critique of the ways fanon rewrites its origin. It's EXPLICITLY a response to the Clans, in the text, that the Erins wrote, it is canon that fanon is working with.

And you want people to take that out and approach it a different way... why? Because it's so incredulous to you that a nation forms in response to a threatening neighbor? That a common enemy through invasions is a way that people might choose to unite, and encourage their new culture to value brutality? Because you don't like the idea of Clan Culture's XENOPHOBIC BATTLE CULTURE affecting surrounding communities??

Could YOU, maybe, be doing this "woobification" thing I keep hearing about? Can I play this stupid game too? What's our stupid prize? Can it be a lollipop? Do we get stickers

TL;DR, ok.

so im most definitely certain that darkrai is gonna get his ass handed to him (even when he tries to pull What I Think He's Gonna Pull) by dusknoir by end of the comic so now im just imagining him limping all the way back to cresselia and she gives him the nastiest side eye on the entire grass continent while saying something like "failed to reap what you tried to sow? 😒" and he just goes "yeah 😔" before promptly collapsing. nobody goes after dusknoir's kid(s) and goes away clean with it. just ask dusknoir /hj

HEEEEEEEELP

My condolences for the burnout, especially since even mentioning the character in these times is...oof. TwT But speaking of Into the Pit, how was the game? OwO Anything you enjoyed in particular bout it?

Gosh I know ;-; something about certain characters just got so overwhelming to the point of my brain being like “welp! No more of them for now!” And idk how long that’s gonna last >>; but not gonna force it if it doesn’t bring serotonin TTwTT👌

I loved the game so muchhhhh aaaa I replayed it four times I just can’t get thru the nightmare mode tho because it got permanent deaths (・´ω`・) that’s so unfair !!! Maybe if I get some mods or something :0c I’ll have to look into how that’d work >>

Fave part tho?

Hehehehehehhehehehehehhe 💖💖💖💖💥💥💥💥💥

Mmm... I love Val's denial route because you have these two goober who are very clearly into eachother but are refusing to go any further because Io feels like it would be selfish to expect more from their "savior" and Val feels almost predatory doing what is in their mind taking advantage of Io. Oooo Io seeing Val as a their gallant knight in shining armor and Val having imposter syndrome from how Io unconditionally adores them. Your honor, I am obsessed. I am unwell.

“my intrusive thoughts won” “my intrusive thoughts forced me to dye my hair at 3AM!!🤩🤩🤩” for a month i was so convinced that i wanted to hurt a family member because my brain kept telling me i did and i had to repeatedly think every time i interacted with them if this certain way i felt when i interacted with them meant i wanted to hurt them or if i would want to hurt them in the future and i ended up having literal nightmares about it every night for three days straight because i couldn’t get it out of my head and it got to the point where i literally wanted to stab into my brain but you know. i hope you have fun cutting your fucking bangs or whatever

"Nicky vs Primo unarmed cage match" "Nicky vs Primo armed combat" "Nicky vs Primo track and hunt in the forest" there's no version Nicky doesn't win. it doesn't matter how much cocaine Primo has done beforehand. because Nicky could do exactly that much cocaine beforehand and still turn Primo into a paste if necessary.
