My thoughts on a few names in the SP books because some of them are really silly, especially if you misunderstand them.

Oh and I really wanted to draw China and Lord Vile.

There's something weirdly...disingenuous in all the posts questioning why Orym might want to talk to Dorian specifically and not the others. Like, this post is really good and covers the non-romantic reasons why this makes sense, and I agree with it entirely! Also though, it's not like Liam hasn't pretty consistently made it clear that Orym has feelings for Dorian. You do not need to like this (I think it's abundantly clear that I think you can openly dislike a ship) but you do look kinda dumb if you're like "why would he want to specifically speak to someone he's known longer than anyone but Fearne, who's slightly removed from the current tragedy, and whom he has repeatedly messaged whenever he's feeling upset?"

planned to render these but im in an artblock🤯 so mb if these look shitty lol, anyway

smth smth about filbrick engraving the "stanley is bad" idea to ford, which imo heavily contributes to ford's grudge with stan throughout the years tw abuse? under cut

depicting them in a scenario where filbrick is hitting/beating stan but then ford rushes in to hug him and tells filbrick to stop but instead gets hit/beaten too so the next time it happens to either of them, all the other could do was watch ☹

I'm thinking of getting into arcane, I've seen a few episodes, like the dynamic between jayce and Victor - as someone who's seen it... Do they have a happy ending? I'm ok with spoilers, I know vaguely what happens, but I don't want to get super invested in the show if the ending is like, unambiguously sad... Basically, what am I in for if I continue watching? Thanks so much for your time, I love your art! 💜💜💜💜

oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my... that is a COMPLICATED question. cuz... like, since i don't know what you personally look to invest in, or how strongly you feel things, or what you consider "sad" vs what i do, it's a bit hard to answer in way that i think can be useful??? but i'll try!!!

for me, i have zero regrets about the fact that i've watched the full show over twenty times now. does it cause me a lot of emotional anguish every time still? yeah. it's pretty much "emotional anguish" the show. but i am also someone who describes themself as "empathy poisoned" so, like, i very easily feel too much~ to the point where i need to just NOPE out of stuff if it hurts me too much. (i'm looking at you Jujutsu Kaisen) and that might not be true for you. but i also think it's ABSOLUTELY a show worth sticking it out for. even if it's only for the animation and the music! but! even better! every single character will take you on heart-wrenching emotional journey in their own way. just, some definitely get happier endings than others.

but as for Jayvik specifically - would i have liked there to be a world where their ending is more... just... UNAMBIGULOUSLY a cut-and-dry love story??? obviously! i'm a wretched little queer who wants to see their boys get EVERYTHING - but i also don't begrudge the show the very, very beautiful ending that they did get.

throughout the show they both fuck up so much, make the wrong choices so often, and get manipulated by people and forces so far outside of their control that it's little wonder there's so much AU and fix-it-fic written about them. you desperately want better for them. but you also see exactly WHY people ship them. their connection is UNDENIABLE in so many ways and across so many facets. and in the end, Jayce and Viktor choose EACHOTHER over LITTERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE. and it's so beautiful that i absolutely sobbed my eyes out.

do they ever say the words "i love you?" or kiss? no. and what becomes of them is intentionally left super ambiguous. so, in the end, you're really just left with the intense melancholy of knowing that all they want - forever - is just to be together. and that's so fucking beautiful that i just can't help but say it's worth it. 100% absolutely worth it.

"but i think i kinda hate summer", while caressing a cat you muttered brazenly.

I too would love a Haymitch POV, but you know what POV I'd love to see in sunrise? Haymitch's mentor.

Allegedly, at least according to the Capitol, there's no previous victor of district 12, so I'm assuming the mentor must be Capitol-assigned. However, other districts like 1 and 2 will have had countless of winners after 49 games, in fact I'm guessing most districts will have victors as mentors. But not district twelve, not yet.

I wonder how it would feel, as a Capitol citizen, to be so excited to be assigned a mentor position, to dress up all flashy for it and to then sit in a room filled with anxious, deeply traumatized people watching what you consider the Eurovision of your youth as they quietly despise every second of it and watch in horror as you laugh and clap. It must be so strange, so isolating and uncanny, so unlike everything you've ever known to hear these victors' snide comments towards the gamemakers, their ungratefulness for what they've gotten from their own victories and their unfiltered hatred that hides behind the famous, glorious personas you know them as. Every second in the training center with your two tributes, in the moments shared with your fellow mentors as they gear up to talk to sponsors as if they're readying for battle, it all leaves small cracks in the worldview you've gotten so comfortable with for all your life.

Yeah, I truly wonder how that mentor must feel.

My favorite part of writing Lifeweaver is playing up his usual silly goofy funney guy act, then throwing in a “his family hasn’t talked to him in 10 years” or “every day he grapples with the knowledge that he could be killed at any moment and his creation used to usher in an ecological dystopia the likes of which we’ve never seen before”
