#the undesirables.

[soullessjack]

to me one of the most fucked up things about godjack and that whole “oh Cas and jack are doing excel spreadsheets in heaven now isn’t that so silly” thing and whatever is like. why are you putting them back into the system that abused and manipulated them. cas was literally lobotomized and forced to kill fake deans numerous times to condition him back into being the blind soldier that angels are supposed to be. jack is considered an undesirable abomination by heaven and all of the original nephilim were basically culled from existence by the flood as a result of that undesirability, but at the same time he’s still powerful enough to be desired as a weapon and extorted as such. that’s totally not vaguely eugenicist! and like, both cas and jack were conditioned into doing horrible things by heaven, things that have left deep scarring on both their psyches and senses of worth. jack tortured and murdered another subset of undesirables, the nonbelievers, and the worst part is that he only did it because he thought he was making up for Mary. His guilt was extorted and weaponized and only led to more guilt. once he realized what he’d done.

cas was nearly complicit in the apocalypse and wholly the murder of Lily Sunder’s seven-something year old daughter, again bc she was an undesirable abomination much like Jack was . And he was conditioned into that complicity, tortured repeatedly into believing total complicity and faith in The Plan was Good, or not even good, just a vague and abstract version of justification. he declared war and committed genocide on half of his “siblings,” and comrades, because he was a soldier and war is his lifestyle and if he can find any justification for what he does he will do it and he was taught to value the end before examining the means by which he could get to it, because that’s how heavens system works. ironically I’d say it’s fairly close to Christian fundamentalism, but also capitalism and militarism as well.

Like oh hey, you were born into a corrupt system that raised you with no sense of free will, individuality, or personhood, and encouraged blind obedience and justification of everything in the name of some vague absolution? You belong to a specific group of individuals who are deemed undesirable by the system unless you can be extorted for its gain? Why don’t you just join it and perpetuate it with a few inconsequential changes instead of fully dismantling it because it’s corrupt by design!! yay silly spreadsheets !!!!!!

I know spn isnt trying to run heaven as any sort of actual system or commentary on real life systems, believe me i know it’s not good enough to do that, but even if you take away that lens of heaven and just focus on the face value show canon of what it did to Cas and jack.. it’s still so bleak

the desire to pronounce words as they are said in their source language for the sake of accuracy vs the desire to not sound like a complete tool

if you view viktor as asexual or aroace (for, like, actual reasons and not out of blatant ableism) all the power to you but my personal headcanon which is now a core belief of my person is that viktor is lowkey a sex god with a moderate-to-high sexual appetite and has plenty of experience (WAY more than jayce) because whenever he is particularly stressed he winds down by fucking random men who end up forever changed by the encounter

If you’re gonna care about prison abolition and justice you are necessarily going to have to care about the people who DID do those crimes and just want to reintegrate and live a normal life without hurting anyone. You're gonna have to be cool with the fact that the guy scanning your groceries might’ve raped someone. You're gonna have to relax about the possibility that your bank teller used to be a career criminal. The person sitting next to you on the bus might’ve committed three different murders, and as long as he's not about to commit a fourth right now, that's not your fuckin' problem. People don't disappear from society after they commit crimes, and most of them really just want to live a normal, stable life instead of going back to that. And the best way to make sure they don't relapse is to ensure they're able to live that peaceful life instead of freaking out because the guy next door used to run a dogfighting ring. You don’t have to be friends with them, you don't even have to like them, but you're gonna need to be okay with them existing in society. Sorry.

detaching from my cr by calling it my "undesired reality" 😔

Just thinking about how Stolas was so hurt by Blitz (unintentionally) mocking his confession, that he was ready to resign himself back into his lonely depressing life...

It's especially the way he looks at his hat before putting it back on that does it for me.

I get that calling white lotus lbh a sticky little 'sheep' is a canon translation and stuck in the fandom now anyway, but I do feel the intended spirit of the original word wasn't the sheeple/dumb herd animal that's more common in the western world, but instead something actually conveying sweetness, innocence, purity and youth - lamb.

Famous for being utterly adorable and following around their mothers, gambolling in sunny meadows, curly white wool shining.

And NOW we can talk about black sheep/wolf in sheep's clothing metaphors.

Amanda: This is the RK900 model. It is not likable, not sweet but intimidating and scary. It is incapable of forming bonds, it does not have empathy and it is not appealing to any human at all so there is a 0% chance of anyone taking a liking to it and turning it into a Deviant down the line.

not only should any autistic character who’s ever been infantilized by their fanbase kill and maim more people, but they should also fuck as nasty as possible too. as a treat

I think Anya only failed out of me school because she couldn’t afford it.

She’s a very aware and intelligent woman, she figures out things and knows the composition of the mouthwashing makes it useless as anything but what it’s for. She kept Curly alive for so long, something that would be impossible for someone with no medical prowess. Doctors would’ve struggled to stabilize him. A training that good couldn’t have been cheap. She had to work and work a lot. Work hard to scrap by even though she knew the material and was passionate about it. Enough to enlighten her but not enough to keep her enrolled.

But why is she on the ship? Because all it takes is a trip or two and you’re set!

This list is just comprised of animals that I have seen and gone “aww a baby” and had people immediately respond with “no! That animal is bad actually” in the same way they tell me dandelions *aren’t* pretty and are in fact *weeds*

“Ugly” Rough Comic Concept.

—————

I’m hoping to be able to finish this comic this next October or November. I know the idea and concept are conveyed quite clearly just with the rough draft, but I would like to finish it with line art. I want to show this to a broader audience :)

For the first time in a long time, with the CT comic on hiatus, I feel like I can start on some of my other comic concepts. And I feel like I’ve learned a lot from my Hollow Knight comic, with how short I want my ideas to be. I don’t feel too comfortable creating a long comic (or at least one that goes over a year). Being constrained isn’t my style.
