#the first real loss

thinking about everything's changed since polites

[solargeist]

I love how over time kid xelqua has become less just baby grian and more grian's kid who he found in the woods/somehow created and now the kid represents all of grian's childhood trauma and Catholic guilt and grian is just trying to break the cycle bc there's this magic fucking baby who is the best thing in the world

JKAGJKD yes Exactly, see evo Grian has a lot of family issues, from being an orphan, to the Watchers, he has ISSUES, so raising a version of himself is..... definitely odd, but weirdly healing.. He sees how he was as a kid, he wasn't that bad, he was just a kid ! He didn't deserve to be abandoned or anything. He sees all of his ache in Xelqua, he's very much breaking the cycle.

[mumbo: You alright mate, you have that look in your eyes. grian: no yeah--i'm good, i just.... its easy to raise him, y'know ? i mean, i know he's literally me, but.. it makes me wonder about my own parents--before the watchers, if i was anything like him, i don't know why they left] (-me)

me before SoTE: Gehrman 🤝 Miquella on being seen as creeps and awful people by fandom over misinterpreting some bits!

me after SoTE: Gehrman 🤝 Miquella on not being able to accept the drastic change (mostly to the worse) of a person they held dear and latching onto their former, "nicer" version, attempting to resurrect that version even although the result is a bit of just a husk (.....AND being seen as creeps and awful people by fandom over misinterpreting some bits lololol)

_________

I guess they're doomed to be friends no matter what gfjhjgv At least with Gehrman's crafting skills, he can make him many pretty dresses

I'm replaying the Alpha on patreon (of course) and I just made a mental connection. Between a Romanus who keeps a journal in Latin, and a little child meeting a certain monk, touching a book for the first time and realizing how wonderful preserving knowledge is. I wonder if Romanus thinks of them when they preserve their own knowledge in their journal. (your story is so beautiful, I always find new joy in it)

Absolutely. I couldn't put that detail in Book One, because the player hasn't chosen their origins yet, but when Romanus sits down to write in their journal again, and if you're on the Scribe Origin, they'll think of Adso. He's never too far away from their mind ♡

Like. The last thing I'm going to say is that I see a lot of comments about how "Well Americans probably deserve whatever is coming to them" because [some variation of how we are all equally violent and stupid and of course we elected this guy] and I will be the FIRST one to go, "Fuck America for real, I hate it here" but. There are in fact millions of people who did not want this. Who actively fought against it and will continue to do so.

BELIEVE ME, I understand the impulse to go, "Well with all the shit America has done to the rest of the world, why should I feel bad for them." I understand that compassion fatigue is real. And I DEFINITELY don't think it's the rest of the world's job to fight my battles for me or prioritize my feelings above anyone else's.

But if people are worried for their safety. If they're scared. If they're wondering how they and the people they love are going to survive the next few years. If people are feeling despair and despondence over the fact that they are stuck in an absolutely hellish landscape they did not ask for. Just...please let them have that. You don't have to tell them that you think they deserve it.

gen loss >:] and a written out talking to myself because i think it’s funny that it looks like a star wars intro

[thaliagrayce]

y'know what we don't talk about enough? Hazel died. We talk about how she grew up in the 30's and 40's and we talk about how out of place she feels in the modern world, but! She died! She was dead! She has spent more time dead than alive, and not by a close margin!

How does that effect a person??? We got some of it in the flashbacks, but once those caught up with her present timeline and she shared them, they just kind of... disappeared. And she was a regular girl with some weird past experiences. That's one way of doing it, sure!

I think it would have been a lot cooler if she was just a touch creepier. If she felt a little bit Wrong. Yeah, in general she's more approachable than her brother, she's more sociable and less closed off, but. If you actually spend any time with her, it can be difficult to tell which child of the underworld is actually more unsettling.

Hazel is bright of personality and has a dazzling smile, but sometimes she'll just... shut down. She'll go completely blank for like half an hour and nobody knows what to do with it. Sometimes she forgets she's alive. Sometimes she'll spout the grimmest shit you've ever heard like it's nothing, she won't even notice it's weird until the room goes quiet. She spent decades in Asphodel, which is designed to make people forget about themselves and wander around for eternity, only she didn't have the luxury of forgetting! Wild! After she comes back to life, sometimes she forgets that she's allowed to Do Stuff now. She can spend so long sitting and staring at nothing. Sometimes she'll start crying on cloudless days because it hits her again that she can actually feel the warmth of the sun on her skin and she can hear birdsong. Every little mundane experience is a blessing and she will make you remember that in the most foreboding way possible.

This was a style experiment, I don't usually color/shade like this, or have the colored line art in places but it was really fun to do.

Second thing I wanted to share was my Halloween costume!!

I’ve got process pictures I might share at a later date, but I’m so happy with it!!! I planned this with a friend in June, and I put in a lot of hours and late night in October to make it happen.

We didn’t go trick or treating, but we did fuck around at a mall and handed out showfall business cards he made the night before.

He also got a picture of me in the portrait pose he’s being sneaky about, I’ll have to share when he finally tells me what that’s about.

Over all a great spooky season for me, I’ve also got some pictures relating to a certain video game movie I’m waiting to share until after the strike is over.

[slimedeamon]

kind of a follow-up to this post:

hc that charlie and sneeg once made it out before. something happened, and one of them broke free of showfalls control, and he managed to get the other and get them both out. and once their out, they meet some people, ranboo among them. showfall, pissed at losing two of their actors, two of the ones they've been molding since childhood no less, goes after them with a vengeance. and showfall doesn't care who else gets hurt in the way, so maybe they take the kid whose house they're hiding out in as well. and maybe they decide that the best way to keep these two unruly actors in order is to make sure they know that this kid is on the line if they act out again. so they play within the lines. and they look out for this kid, who wouldn't be here at all if not for them. amd sneeg, he tries so hard to break back out, so he can get both his brothers free again. and charlie, he plays along, and he puts himself between ranboo and the danger, so that even if ranboo is stuck here because of him, at least they're safe and alive. and ranboo, he is drawn to them because they know they've met them before, and he decided then that they dont deserve this, and they know they still feel that way. and why would he be upset with them? its not their fault. its showfalls. they just wanted safty for themselves and eachother.

You search in me for pieces of your past lovers.

You find nothing.
