cassandra & clytemnestra

class doodles <3

cassandra: super proud of how she turned out!! i love noses so much and ive managed to give her a really glorious one today. she got a few compliments too hehe

clytemnestra: idk how well ive managed to depict it lol but cly is both mourning iphigenia and planning out her vengeance. its going to be a long 10 years but she will have her killers blood.

--

i still have a long way to go till i finish the iliad so i dont know everyones story yet, i do know however that cly like many before and after her arent often portrayed with the complexities that make them them, that make them human, but instead as paragons or pariahs. and i think theres lots to be said on the matter, but i dont want to get ahead of myself lol. anyway enjoy :D

Bhaal is the god of murder, and he is speaking to an offspring of that god, and convincing them they are not monsters.

Cant stop thinking abt Marcia. about the wake and the funeral, how gross everyone treated her from start to bitter end. And she went out of her way to be kind to shiv in her very last scene, and while she is so WOW for taking the high road…..that would NOT have been me.

But I guess that hurt shiv the most lmao. she was fully braced for some cutting remark and Marcia doesn’t give it to her. Cuz Marcia is done. Shiv cannot comprehend why she chooses to be gentle and empathetic for once because she is so full of resentment and she assumes Marcia is the same. She expects Marcia to be an enemy, it’s easy. It’s something that’s safe and it’s that mentality her own father leans into to provide false loyalty in the episode vaulter. But Marcia only sees her as a broken sad child forever chasing a man whose approval was on a whim. She isn’t even worth contempt. And shiv doesn’t know if she should be angry sad or confused.

hate/love when you're watching or reading something and you can tell that a theme or motif or connection or something is present but you can't quite articulate it into words in your mind. feels like staring down into a dark pond and seeing something moving beneath the surface but you can't tell what it is yet

it is so disheartening seeing people being able to correctly identify and criticise the actions of russian invasion of ukraine and not be able to recognise/not giving the same scrutiny to the israeli genocide.

Foundations of Decay — Chapter 11

what do they most fear being seen as?

---

ratio certainly doesn't want to be seen as just another ivory tower genius, but he only feared it when he got the IPC's invitation for his anti-planetary weapon design - attracting the gaze, not of Nous, but of human greed. aspiring to the genius society was suddenly synonymous with selling his soul; he'd gone knocking on the doors of the temple of knowledge not realizing the devil could answer. no matter the lingering bitterness, that more than anything made him stop wanting Nous' gaze.

(the compromise of joining the intelligentsia guild - theoretically independent from, but still heavily funded by, the IPC - is it the best of both worlds or the lesser of two evils?)

but in general, public perception isn't on his radar unless it inconveniences him, at which point he puts a plaster sculpture on his head about it. he doesn't endorse the documentaries and memoirs about himself, but he doesn't serve C&Ds, either. what people think of him is simply not his damn problem.

---

aventurine, on the other hand... he's more image than person some days. (“the self beneath is extraordinarily faint.”) his job relies very heavily on his cultivated image - he can't escape that even if he wants to, and he doesn't know that he wants to. can he tell where the image ends and the person begins? what if there's nothing beneath? the mask has grown into his skin and he can't afford the blemish of removing it; maintaining it is integral to his job.

he has to keep being aventurine of stratagems, because aventurine of stratagems has to keep existing. he does not fully belong to himself. he'd vowed to become a stoneheart in the very same moment he lost all motivation and reason to do so - now that he's finally found the will to live for himself, he's trapped in the amber of that decision.

(and when he manages to crack the literal and metaphorical amber... the stonehearts vote to repair his cornerstone. what a mercy-stroke of luck.)

he's not afraid of tarnishing his reputation - how can he be, when he maintains a precise level of intentional tarnish? he's not afraid of being seen as a former slave, or he wouldn't openly display his brand as if it were just another accessory. he's not afraid of people thinking he's weak.

he's afraid they'll be right.

meaningless complaint, but sometimes stuff in bg3 is utterly asinine in how it plays. to me
