Clark, about to exist his room: "Yes Jon?"

Jon: "Can I ask you something?"

Clark: "Of course, bud. What is it?"

Jon: "How do you know if you like someone? I mean, like like someone? Not just as a friend but... as something more."

Clark: "You'll know it when you find that person."

Jon, blushing slightly: "I think I know it then."

Clark, smiling: "You wanna tell me who this person is?"

Jon: "Damian Wayne."

Just a random fact: planets like Tatooine that have two suns actually exist and they're called “circumbinary” planets (because they orbit a binary star system :)

planets with two suns are actually called "super fucking hot" which is foreshadowing bc anakin, who lived there, is also super fucking hot. follow for more cinematic facts

"Marika becomes the sum of all the Fromsoft girlies" is nice but you forgot Nashandra who actually has parallels with Marika! Recommending to check it out, she's cool!

let’s get this out of the way now… I love DS2, I think the vibe and gameplay is immaculate and I’ll defend it as a whimsical and enjoyable videogame experience till the end of time.

But my god, I hate how they handle female characters in that one 💀

In fact, I don’t like how they handle female characters in DS franchise in general. It got a bit better in Bloodborne and Sekiro and especially AC6, but overall ever since I started playing Fromsoft game in 2020, my main gripe with them is they only have 2 tropes to shoehorn their female character into: helpless victim of a system that would mangle and exploit them OR serious sword lady. And if I’m being real, it’s the main gripe I have with Elden Ring base game too?

I didn’t discuss it on tumblr because back then I were still trying to keep this blog art-focused, but when the game came out in 2022, I did express my concern on twitter that I found the female characters cast… strangely lacking. Because I went into the game expecting Ema-level of writing (literally Sekiro’s Ema is one of the best female characters Fromsoft has ever written to this day I could and have talked ppl’s ears off about her. And I’m glad she on her own is very different from Marika. That means they could at least write 2 more types of female characters now the bar is on the floor but I’ll take it and cherish what I have), but it felt like they got reset back to DS franchise with ER base game.

(This has an added layer of me being a girl born, raised and lived in a Sinosphere country that is entrenched in Confucius values just like Japan, so yes I do understand and experience firsthand the underlying culture values that shapes their writing. Hell, I live and study postgraduate in Japan for 2 years too).

But we are going off track, this is about DS2. Now, my problem with DS2 is, see, with 1 or 3, the female characters either have very little agency or no agency at all. And it just…. be like that. The male characters are somewhat the same, so it really doesn’t bother me that much. The cool, unique, not sexualized design is enough. But 2?

2 has a lot of female characters…. who either play no role in the world setting or sinister figures that charm men and bring ruins to kingdoms? What?

(Before anyone says “but Lucatiel—” Lucatiel is the beacon of light in that game, yes, but at the same time her purpose centering around her brother is… also a problem I have with the way they handle Malenia’s story. My Fromsoft experience has lore to it as well jfc)

Like, it’s just ??? to me half of those women have no agency or backstory whatsoever apart from being the Dark’s daughters that would bring doom everywhere they go??? You can say everything wrong in DS2 world is their fault and I actually wouldn’t have much to argue. Actually, it’s interesting you bring up Nashandra because I do think Nashandra has parallel in Elden Ring. But not to Marika.

Nanaya.

That’s who reminds me of Nashandra in Elden Ring. Literally the mysterious, lowkey nefarious lady and her old man husband with questionable dynamic DS2 trope 🧍‍♀️ you can actually see that in their name too.

If I have to pick a character in DS franchise specifically to make parallel to Marika, it’ll always be Gwynevere. Because I honestly think it’s amazing they took a character that has the least amount of agency they’ve ever created, and turned the core concept of her (warmth, healing spells, sunlight, mother, daughter, queen, faith) into another character with actual good writing.

That’s why I didn’t include Nashandra in my previous post. Not because I don’t know about her. It’s because I know.

I can not believe im asking you this but I saw a post about flug having eggs or something? Is that like mpreg? I kinda know what it means bc I've seen sans au x sans au before. But whats with the eggs? Im not offending you its just idk that much in mpreg and i also don't draw any of it. (This is not to offend anyone im just curious.)(also love how you draw flug Hes my favorite character.)

Haha yeah it kinda is! I made a few arts this year where Flug takes care of eggs.

Don't worry you're just curious, that's cool💛 I don't feel offended

there's no other thing I get as many requests for as for mpreg with Flug so I feel like it's a good time to say:

I know it's called mpreg in fandom terms, but I for one don't even think of it as that inherently suggestive trope; I genuinely just think it's cute and silly. pregnancy is a beautiful thing in my eyes, and not a kink for me personally. there's no issue with it, but I'm saying that's just not my motivation. I headcanon Flug is a transman who still wishes for an own baby, like me. it's kinda coping for me to draw Flug going thru smth I wish for irl as well. I relate to him bc he's taken on such a good parent role for 505

this reasoning is gonna be super rare, most people who enjoy/draw this explicitly do NOT want children irl. idk why others draw it tbh... but this is just me.

so the reason I usually always choose eggs is bc I mostly draw the paperhat ship... and since Black Hat seems to have more reptile or insect features I figured his offspring would probably grow in eggs instead of live. he's basically an alien, right

you can canonly have Black Hat's offspring! in the old orientation video on youtube "Los casos perdidos del futuro" exactly at minute 7, Demencia hints to the fact that by drinking his saliva you can have his spawn.

they never actually showed anyone doing that but I'm just assuming they'll come in eggs.

his spawn does not look like this^, Alan has drawn it in a livestream; it's just an eldritch clump of eyes, teeth and tentacles on the floor. in reality Black Hat is the only one of his species and he's unable to create another independent sentient creature like him.

so I drew what I imagine them looking like if he could (a lot of people asked for that anyway)

Thank you for loving my art💜

WINDY!!!!

IF YOU DOODLE YOKETRON AND DARKSEER IN HER ALT MODE MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!

/lh of course only if u wanna

There's a practical reason WHY Yoketron has such long decorative pointy helm details...

BONUS because I couldn't resist: with sparkling Lockdown!

Now you all know WHERE he got such weird markings and spiny pseudo-organic traits (at least in Melon's AU).

PS I put little horns on him (that he will shed when maturing) because he is very Dark Maul coded to me and as a homage to the character that gave reason for his creation: Death's Head.

I'm.. surprised.

I just saw people calling "tourist" a person who is actually an enciclopedia of Warhammer.

I bet my ass they have read max 2 short stories in all their life yet the bro who read literally everything is a tourist now. This just because they had a neutral (maybe even good) opinion on the female custodes.

Do.. do these people have mirrors? Don't they see how big their red nose is when looking at their own reflection?

Don't these people know that opinions exist? You don't agree with them? Ok fine, but attacking them at random spitting lies seems a bit too much, especially when it comes from someone who has never read a book.

what is blackbile? sorry if it’s obvious and im being silly but i went through your tag for it and all the art is really cool but idk whats going on exactly😭 like when you reference characters plotlines or arcs in tags/descriptions, is there somewhere i can learn more about it?

You aren't being sillyyyyy omg <3 thank you for the interest!! :-) Brother, Idk what's going on either 🤝 BB is sooo messy. I'm so sorry

I went silly with it and made a wee carrd (there's only little chara blurb rn)

It's naw done but I'm post-ponning work for it but I rlly need to work 🏃‍♀️ I'll chip away at it cos . it IS a mess to untangle all that

Long story short rn, Matty is a week away from going missing but the relationships are kinda imploding cos Abigail is dropping Viktor (they are soulmates btw 😭) and so many people are cheating . Cos they don't know how to deal with their feelings but they are. working on it 👍 (soooo badly.)

It's a "story" about people who have no business being let out in the world navigating relationships in the fkn worse way possible

old chart from...lastyear i believe 👇

i'll do a new one . cos I looked at the text part and I was like how the hell am I explaining this.
