There’s another one. He’s alone. And I mean truly alone. Working on his little projects, all by himself. And if he died… I don’t wanna know what would happen if he died. There’d be… effects. Throughout every corner of the universe.

Viking's streaming his Hardcore world on twitch again and i am ecstatic. the sculk spread gets worse every time i draw him

i think i know the article you're talking about, but i didn't read it because anything that smacks of sincere "these white cis men are the true victims and main characters of misogyny" just sets my teeth so thoroughly on edge. it really makes it sound like the author doesn't understand how misogyny *is* a deep part of male hockey culture, just... embedded in the other, usual way. *women* are casualties of direct, violent misogyny in hockey and acting like it's the opposite is almost insulting...

as much as i think there are angles to take in that vein that could pan out (for example: "how does homophobia and or the fear of being clocked as feminine help to reinforce misogynistic attitudes in these men"/"what are the underlying processes behind 'babygirlification' in fandom spaces about men"/"the intersection of misogyny and xenophobia in hockey") there's either a complete ignorance to these questions or, in the case of the last one, an explicit refusal to examine it. i also think that basically any other way to slice it -- including these questions, by the way -- means you have to address women both in "inner" hockey circles (female players, female coaches, female employees, wives and girlfriends etc) and in fandom spaces. which, as with everything else, is either sparingly touched on (re fandom spaces) or not at all

upcoming oneshots

the lone and level: three oneshots focused on Terry having more in-depth conversations with Zym, Callum, and Soren, respectively.

blinded: Miyana and the royal family.

??: oneshot about Rayllum from Lujanne's perspective, canon compliant.

(like birds) there comes an astonishment of kindnesses: Harrow gets out of the birds to reunite with his now adult sons. Arc 3 speculation

mama's boy: Sarai’s sons grow up without her. Sarai & broyals focused

just stand still: In Katolis, you come of age at sixteen; Ezran just misses his dad.

the goal of living is to grow: Rayllum's first year together as a couple.

[tritoch]

tired: the azem crystal is overused and a stupid and unnecessary plot convenience

wired: the azem crystal is a neat way to marry mechanics and narrative and particularly good for some story beats, but needs to be used sparingly to retain its punch.

inspired: my warrior of light learned "mass planar ally" and they are going to cast it as many times per day as they can. they are a 4e lazylord now. they do not raise a weapon anymore. they heal people and they say "run over here" and "stand inside the circle please" and "don't stand in bad" and "okay stop dots". their class is raid leader. their weapon is action economy. their combat style is multi-boxing. they have trained in the way of jump kaisen. they used BEAT UP! It was super effective!

consider the following two images

weak, lonely, pathetic.

strong, united, inspiring. i rest my case

[morgan-the-lonely-brick]

Hahaha what if i died mysteriously

[ddddd-pixels]

After losing a bunch of my stuff yesterday, I don't have many things that I haven't posted already (I had a Christmas-themed Mai Shiranui post that I lost... -_-), but I did make this...

New Faces Team in their KOF XV designs, based off of sprites from KOF AFK.

troubled by how many incoming art students dont know how to take and upload a good photo of their work...like well lit, rotated the right way, cropped so its just the artwork, naming the file instead of leaving it IMG_3294?? like guys please 😭

[supernova049]

Ok, so like. After this series the whole phanteon of gods is getting shelved for a while isn't it? I know Doctor Who doesn't work like Dragon Ball but feels kind of silly to go from the strongest god of them all to their strong but not as strong niece or something.

What it feels like trying to schedule the next few months

[songsofbloodandwater]

I'm going to complain about something that may sound petty to a lot of people but listen: anyone who works closely with indigenous communities and then offers a service (be it healing methods, cultural education, whatever) must offer either open access to indigenous peoples of that community and Nation, or at the very least an indigenous rate that is lower, and more accessible, than the honestly overpriced rate at which those same services are being offered to the mainstream public. Specially if the price you're charging as an outsider is in US dollars while the local currency used by indigenous peoples of the area is subject to US-driven inflation and US sanctions. We don't have US dollars, we can't pay extra for US dollars, the difference in currency is too big, and that's without counting fees that we, as locals, have to pay because our governments consider anything being paid in US dollars a "Luxury Buy", plus international fees, and thus there's more ridiculously high taxes to pay ontop of the price you set.

Every indigenous educator I've known is extremely flexible with pricing because we know this. We know often people of the same Nation are scattered across borders in Latin America, we know that profit is not our goal here, education and healing and building up our communities is. So we offer indigenous rates, divide payments as much as possible, sliding-scales and even half or full scholarships to other indigenous peoples, often all of these at the same time, to make it more accessible. It's nonsense for outsiders to gatekeep indigenous knowledge and medicine away from that very same indigenous people, by making it not monetarily accessible to them, but keeping it accessible only to outsiders from an entirely different country. It happens so often that we even have a name for that phenomenon, actually: spiritual extractivism.

If I, as an indigenous person from the same Nation you're taking knowledge and medicine from, read "40% of the pricing goes back to indigenous communities!" and that exact 40% inflation of the price is the reason I can't pay for it... we have a problem. Deciding the pricing based only on what white people or any outsider to the culture "should" pay to "give back to the traditional medicine holders" but never ensuring that, at the same time, you're leaving some other door open to indigenous peoples... is still centering white supremacy and profit. It makes no sense because that exact same inflated price is the thing keeping the local indigenous peoples from being able to access the knowledge and medicine you're taking from our Elders. If you want to keep true, healthy reciprocity, you should offer separate rates, or find some more ways to ensure that the knowledge and medicine you're taking from our Elders finds it's way back to indigenous hands.

In 2025, who do you think will be Gawin's partner this time? 😏 I honestly wish that GMMTV gave Gawin and First a full on 12-16 ep series because they were too good as Dan and Yok and I am still not over it 😭

loool I selfishly hope that jossgawin get super popular & become a stable ship even tho I feel like it's not that likely 😭 (not the being popular part, so many people love them already, but I'm not sure they want a stable ship at all...) as for gawinfirst, anyone who followed me around the not me era KNOWS I was obsessed with them beyond recognition lol. so much so that I think at least 30% of why I haven't gotten into firstkhao to this day is bc their ship launched right when I was waiting for gawinfirst to become a thing & it broke my heart haha. but frankly, only jossgawin could've made me feel better about their loss (and lowkey forget them whoops) so I'm really glad they happened! seeing as firstkhao are literally stuck at the hip & do practically only firstkhao projects atm, I sadly think there's no way we can ever get gawinfirst back 🥲 however danyok will stay iconic af & one of my all time favorite ship without a doubt 🫶

Back to the WIP asks:

Bigger Than Love - Another Arranged Marriage AU

Bigger Than Love || Another (Happier) Arranged Marriage AU

Aahhhh... Bigger Than Love... because who doesn't love an Arranged Marriage Trope? 🤭 Let's Get Into It!

So this was Like Real People Do before I had the bright idea to turn it into the absurdly long fest of angst that will end with one single kiss 😅 but it has since pivoted to be what I hope is a fun twist on the Arranged Marriage trope.

It'll be set about 2-3 months post-canon, so feelings are still fresh all around. Wakanda and Talokan are both on the verge of civil war within themselves, and the alliance isn't going exactly the way leadership might've hoped. If you know me, you know I don't believe in doing things the easy way, so Shuri is still mad (and a little homicidal), Namor is unwilling to work with anyone other her, and M'Baku is ready to fully revert Wakanda back to T'Chaka levels of seclusion (Talokan and Western Powers be damned).

In all of this, our leading duo have found themselves as unlikely friends and equally matched sparring partners. There's just one rule though— no politics. They spar in the training arena, by the riverbank, in Okoye's backyard... but under no circumstances do they discuss the growing tensions between their two kingdoms. What happens in the throne room, stays in the throne room.

Until it doesn't of course...

Things are looking bleak for the alliance, and even finding moments to spar has become difficult with the pressures they're both facing. One night, Okoye jokingly suggests a marriage alliance might fix all of their problems. They both laugh it off, but when he's alone, the thought won't leave Attuma's mind. Peace matches are arranged all the time in Talokan; he's the product of one such marriage himself. Would marrying Okoye really be so bad? She may be a surface dweller, but she is the first equal he's met in far too long. But worries still linger: if they do marry, can he accept the potential risk of losing another so dear to his heart?

Okoye keeps trying to convince herself that she was joking. She couldn't possibly be willing to get married again— not after W'Kabi. But the more she thinks about it, thinks about him, the more she finds herself wanting. Her uncle has not relented in his quest to see her remarried, no matter how lacking she finds her suitors. Attuma wouldn't be marrying her for status, or money, or connections to her uncle or the crown. Theirs would be a mutually beneficial arrangment— the treaty could finally be formalized, they'd have peace in both their kingdoms, and maybe, just maybe, Attuma might end up wanting her too.
