Discovered the Lord of the Flies fandom less than a week ago, and all I have to say is Raliggy for life, even if they have a terrible ship name

[blicketyuri]

hmm, what could THIS be...

[cgarttrailsandtails]

Ta-da! Beta designs for my Rumble Pack (+) Circus au! It doesn't have an actual name yet, but oh well.

I swear the only reason these took all day is because ibis paint was being stupid and kept making me want to jump out a window or something- (/j but it was actually that annoying.)

Anyways, this au will be my main focus for a bit cause I like it :3. So please ask me some questions, cause they do some crazy sh*t in this au here >:D

Yeah so, I heard sometimes rabbit mothers eat their children? Or manage to eat part of their children's bodies? When they get stressed?

The thing with Oliveira (and a lot of other Billy writers) for me is that... it's great to see a queer character being written by queer writers, obviously. But it's significantly less great when those writers don't know anything about Jewish culture- or, in Oliveira's case, seem to think that aspects of Catholicism (and Paradise Lost specifically?) will automatically apply to Judaism. Which might be worse in some ways.

I'd love to see more Jewish writers, specifically, tackling Billy. I don't think it's particularly difficult to accurately/respectfully write a character representing a demographic you aren't a part of, everyone should be able to, but Marvel tends to miss more than it hits on this one. NYX being an ongoing notable example. Ewing is mixed for me because he tries with Billy, admittedly, but he also used the white supremacist spelling of Kabbalah. And that... unsettled me a bit. Might just be me personally but that's not a mistake I take lightly; if you can't even spell it properly then I doubt your sources are legitimate.

I'm not sure that he's trying to apply Paradise Lost to Judaism, precisely. I think he's taken two characters who happen to be Jewish and Romani, and whose family history and magical powers are, for better and for worse, tied into that heritage, and retroactively forced them into much closer proximity to a facet of the Marvel world that is paradigmatically Christian, in a series which takes every possible opportunity to make Christian literary and theological references-- and not seeming to realize that this is a bad fit.

It's obviously not my place to judge, but from my perspective Oliveira has made apt and well-placed references to Billy's Jewishness in other comics, as well as with Aaron and Arnie Roth elsewhere in this series. That's part of why I found the whole Mephisto thing so jarring. It all just feels a little self-indulgent. Between the Emplate arc, the Mephisto arc, the Christmas issue, and now whatever's going on with Blackheart-- sorry, Gabriel-- I'm feeling a little, y'know burnt out on it. Sort of like how Orlando's folklore references in Scarlet Witch don't extend beyond Greek mythology. You really don't have anything else to work with?

Who's Jewish in NYX? Why are we talking about that book?

BOBSTROLOGY 2: THE PACIFIC BOOGALOO

6 cardinal 10 fixed 7 mutable

14 masculine 9 feminine

* Gunny Haney's day of birth is not known; we went with Aries on vibes * J. P. Morgan's birthday was taken from The Pacific wiki but we couldn't verify it elsewhere (or whether he was actually a real dude?) * Chuck Tatum is a cusp and we assigned him Leo based on his city of birth if he had been born at noon; also on vibes

** Other characters in The Pacific are based on people from Leckie and Sledge's memoirs, but their names are either changed or they are only referred to by surname and quite unidentifiable, based on my (oatflatwhite's) original search (which was not exhaustive!). Ronnie Gibson and Stella Karamanlis, for example, seem to be based off of real people Leckie encountered during the war, but were not their actual names. Others, like minor officers in both K and H companies, and the doctors Leckie sees, I just couldn't track down. We could locate the birthdays of Sledge's family (brother and parents) but since we couldn't do the same for Leckie and Basilone, we left them off this list. They're two more Scorpios and another Virgo, by the way.

*** And if you've read this far, @pegasusdrawnchariots assigned Stella Leo based on vibes :-)
