some odysseus & eurylochus thoughts. I love their dynamic but the fandom angers me sometimes.
(making it clear, I'm talking about some haters, not all, some of you actually make good points)


edit: it's 2am and i've had more thoughts so i word-vomited them all out in the tags
#epic the musical#epic eurylochus#epic odysseus#I love their dynamic#they are foils and mirrors and just men#they've been away from home for 13 years man#if you think about it#polites is the one starts the open arms ideology which is the opposite of eury's “let's raid the place” attitude#the open arms ideology is then used by odysseus to...spare the cyclops? apparently?#at the same time he gets abandoned by his patron goddess#who is powerful asf and could've help guide them home#with athena gone and the polyphemus alive#eurylochus in luck runs out is completely understandable#which slowly makes him distrust ody more and more#until he can't trust that there isn't any treasure in the wind bag#not dismissing eury's actions here#but it truly shows that he is a representation of mortals in a godly world#hunger and worry and distrust are all human things#the crew being eurylochus's instrument supports how they all just humans#how in the face of the gods#they can disappear with raging deadly waves or a purposeful strike of thunder#in conclusion#ody being the smartest guy in the trojan war is like being the tallest dwarf#pls get this reference#amemberlea posts#this might not be coherent#ody & eury remind me of hamilton & burr#which is prob why i like them

genuinely curious how the writers and larger dragon age audience would treat thom rainier if instead of being appropriately* repentant and putting himself in prison he blew up a major orlesian government building to instigate a chevalier rebellion or tried to have someone do some necromantic blood magic ritual involving uncertain danger and possible sacrifices to bring the innocent children he ordered killed back to life
#*appropriately as in showing the expected amount of remorse in the appropriate way in a society founded on guilt and shame#i think blackwall actually tells us a lot about how dragon age's writers conceptualize justice and deservedness of punishment#im glad we get the option to forgive him but why do we get the option when anders is exiled at best?#and later characterized as a villain by dai#when solas is willfully imprisoned at best and trapped in a horrifying psychological torture chamber at worst?#blackwall gets a full redemption happy ending if inky so chooses#and im not saying he shouldnt#i forgive him every time#but its so interesting to me that narratively speaking#he seems to earn his happy ending through submission to punishment via imprisonment#as does solas but blackwall is portrayed far more sympathetically overall#there isnt the same meta-level narrative slander and clear agenda on behalf of the writing to make you feel a certain way about his crimes#as there is with anders and solas#why? whats the difference? what did he do to buy himself that narrative goodwill?#put himself in prison? why do the writers love carceral punishment so much lmfaooo#mine#if you wanna screenshot these tags and add them to the reblog feel free#im realizing i prob just shouldve put all of this in the post but its too late now#i think theres actually a strong argument that thom does not do nearly ENOUGH to right his wrongs#where is his effort to reform the orlesian military? where is his criticism of orlesian imperialism?#how does serving in the inquisition have a direct impact on the people he harmed? it doesnt#when you compare him to someone like roy mustang#yes im comparing him to roy mustang this is my blog and you are never going to escape roy mustang comparisons here#roy's political ambitions following his war crimes are directly related to those war crimes#and his goals directly benefit the same group of people he harmed#their ancestors and family members literally#meanwhile blackwall just kind of does vague “good” deeds and gets a full redemption#he really does not make much effort to repatriate the harm he did as a soldier#he just moves on#which again.... no shade to blackwall. my inky forgives him

started off as me redrawing some of my initial mairon designs and ended up going on an rpg tangent 😭 i really wish i could have done the portraits in a pixel art style to better fit the aesthetic but my canvas wasnt the right size!!! i ended up changing annatar completely (im still contemplating how much i prefer this one compared to his old one however...!) and adjusting post-numenor sauron a bit when compared to their old 2022 sketches! im probably gonna do more redraws in the months to come cause of all the stuff i wanna change when i look back to some of my old designs haha 😳
bonus: void delusions (nebula background designed by Freepik)
i like to think each 'form' sauron takes eventually has different mannerisms and likes/dislikes the longer he stays in them without shapeshifting into something else, but one thing they all have in common is being predisposed to nagging melkor ����
#silmarillion#mairon#sauron#annatar#tar mairon#melkor#silm#maybe i had a little too much fun with the rpg stuff.... ONE DAY... one day i will learn to program....!#i like to think his go-to look is the blonde one from when he was in the mairon and sauron-gorthaur era#which is why tar-mairon looks so similar to those two eras hehe#i wanna try and make annatar a bit more distinct from them next time....#anyways im in a bit of a lotr nostalgia phase bc i saw war of the rohirrim and surprisingly i liked it!!#mostly because of hama.... he reminded me of maglor quite a bit 🥹#i was apprehensive going into it but ended up enjoying it haha... tho its prob bc i dont know any of the 3rd age rohan lore#i should probably brush up on everything else that doesnt concern the elves...!! forgive my ignorance professor tolkien#the silmarillion#silm art#third age#second age#silmart#morgoth#khamul#nazgul#irmo#maiar#valar#lotr#tolkien fanart

Radiostatic double feature‼️Alastor feeling himself and Val feeling up Vox
Vox took longer but I like the Alastor one better (wow who could've guessed)
Alastor without the glitchy stuf
The backgrounds r from the I bispaint library, I just put a color layer over them
Paper sketches for the pieces:


I can't wait for hazbin to get out of my brain so I can draw other stuff

As I am on my headcanons bullshit, another one I developed is that even if Konrad is well... crazy, his total gremlin behaviour is just a clever act.
Like that man can be normal as far as his visions of doom let him be normal, but he totally can act somewhat adequate. But acting as completely feral gremlin does creep everyone out *cough* mostly Corax *cough* and Konrad at this point just does that for shits and giggles.
Except skinning people alive. That is done on full seriousness. That man is conasseur of skinning people alive. He has Michelin stars for that.
#Post#konrad curze#Warhammer40k#Idk why i picture konrad mostly bullies corvus i just think that is what konrad would do#Probs something of them being twins and konrad seeing corvus as less fucked himself has something to do with it#But i also headcanon that corvus was driven to madness by grief after the heresy and left for the warp more like konrad than himself#Which is kinda messed up on my part but hey itvs Warhammer40k baby

the most frustrating part abt the scene with alicent and rhaenyra (other than it being ridiculous) is the attempt at portraying alicent as a passive victim with zero agency (TO BE CLEAR she's a victim of both otto and viserys, that's not a question, she had no choice there. she did, however, have a choice in other moments and those are what i'm talking abt in this post). the writers essentially made her go "oh i thought he was talking about MY aegon. well, it's too late. i am a tragic figure who never wanted war. oh no" like ?? some of us have eyes and can see that alicent has been actively trying to gain power, undermine rhaenyra, and divide the family even before the time skip. she shows up to rhaenyra's wedding late and wearing green, she sows discord between their kids, spreads rumors of rhaenyra's children being bastards despite knowing it could get them killed (+ in the book the only ppl yapping abt them being bastards were alicent and criston cole bc the point of spreading rumors was to undermine and hurt both them and rhaenyra, if it was true or not was irrelevant), and she literally hits aegon and insists that rhaenyra will kill him to cement her claim to the throne even when there's been no indication that she would. alicent did not have to do any of those things, she actively chose to
and rhaenyra was willing to leave all that in the past by marrying helaena and jace thus ending the (then metaphorical) war between their sides of the family, but alicent refused bc she wanted power and for rhaenyra to not have any, so she made active choices to ensure that, and didn't care for the consequences. now her son is the king, she never prepared him for it so he's shit at it, she can't control him, she has no power, and the only person surprised is her (and otto). but again, these are choices SHE made or helped make. making an enemy of rhaenyra, and everything that came bc of that, was a choice. she would've helped put aegon on the throne whether viserys quoted the prophecy to her or not, be it usurpation (which it was) or not. that was a choice alicent made. stop portraying her as a passive victim of the dance when that role belongs to helaena
#and before yall ask YES I AM AWARE THAT ALICENT WANTING RHAENYRA TO NOT HAVE POWER WAS PROBS A TRAUMA RESPONSE MANIFESTING AS JEALOUSY#but i need yall to understand that trauma response or not alicent still made the active choice to antagonize rhaenyra and make her an enemy#and i'm not saying alicent is the sole or even main reason the dance happened. but she played a pretty significant and active role#the way the show is changing so much abt team green to make them likeable is insane actually#aemond is literally remembered by history as AEMOND THE KINSLAYER yet the only person who's been referred to in that way so far is rhaenyra#they erased rhaenyra and laena's friendship and just had alicent take laena's place#not to mention in the book alicent is a grown woman beefing with like a 9yr old rhaenyra#the writers changed nearly everything about her so she'd be more palatable + likable (and so would the greens by extension)#and they've also made team black mellow + passive and uninteresting (esp jace) which i also hate#like if this is gonna be an “everyone is bad” story then why are all their rough edges softened. why won't they let them just be unlikeable#why is the writing essentially saying “men bad and want war but women good and want peace” THATS NOT COMPELLING AT ALL#house of the dragon#meta#hotd meta#alicent hightower#rhaenyra targaryen#my meta

when i was a kid i had braces and for some reason the dentist thought my canines were too sharp so he filed ONE of them down and just kinda... left the other? idk why. maybe the sharpness was just getting in his way. i dont understand the logic. so now i just have one snaggletooth fang like somekind of anime character because of this incomprehensible decision my dentist made 10 years ago. no i dont want it fixed im trying to be half vampire. wouldve liked both but im at peace
#the thing is i had issues w my canines bc they grew in weird so maybe there was a legit reason (probs making them straighter)#i dont get why just the one tho#he didnt even ask he just started filing and i was like 14 so i was just like oh okay thats happening now i guess#a lot of my ocd is dental compulsions which started a while after braces#i wonder if my dentist just sucked and now im afraid of things happening to my teeth all the time#they say all 4 of my wisdom teeth gotta come out but im like hmmm no theyre ok. in there.#but then if i feel tightness in my jaw im like oh god all my teeth will shatter from the pressure#im weird about teeth dude. you know how some ppl are weird about eyes. thats me but teeth

caitlin (nick's fiancée) on "never offside" — 02.04.25
tl;dr etc
nick got traded when she was in college and she was wondering why he's calling her at 1AM when she has class in the morning
his family was all in vegas for camp and had bought a bunch of merch (jerseys, stuff for the house) and returned it all (except for a few suzuki jerseys) after they found out about the trade
they met at 16/17 through social media — "a snapchat love story" which was "very 2016 of us" (caitlin also knew ryan through friends before nick)
they got their first cat when she first moved to montreal because she said she needed something to take care of other than herself while he's gone all the time and he agreed. she's the cat person (grew up with cats) and nick's family never had any pets growing up
julie says it makes sense that they have cats because they both have the "calmest demeanor"
they fostered golden retriever ruby through the foundation nick is an ambassador for in the summer of 2024 and they could be adopting her full time: "maybe she'll be in our future, we'll find out. she's been training to be a facility service dog, which I may have also been doing that since the fall. so we'll see."
everyone says nick's so calm, collected, and mature. they forget how young he is. julie calls him "an old soul" and seeing him play with her kids reminded her that he is just 20 and can let loose too.
"I always make a joke that I think someone could punch Nick and he'd just be like, [shrug] and walk away."
they're both 85 years old at heart
nick is annoyingly good at everything. no matter what it is, he always wins. she refuses to play games with him even scrabble.
nick not immune to tarps off at hockey weddings...
he's spending his bye week with sean durzi in miami
#obv theres very interesting things about caitlin + them as a couple#but wag stuff (which the logistics info was super informative) is mostly out of the view of this blog#so i kept the notes nick / habs focused#ugh i do love them though and why am i prob gonna be emotional for their wedding like i know them???#im sorry im parasocialing too close to the sun#fic ref#let me keep this out of his full name tag lmfao

Went and watched 54 just now and I'm incorporating that into my hcs for Michael. Maybe he could be a bartender at a high end club as his secondary job, or maybe that was his first job and also how he got addicted to the stronger stuff. Leaning more towards the first one because he could theoretically hear a lot more and have more opportunities to gather information for Matthews. Idk can someone be clinical about him with me pretty please
#lowkey 54 was good im just mad i got tricked into watching a h*rvey w*inste*n film#more screen time for my boy romeo i loved him#gay as hell name though i bet youre the romeo to somebodys julian huh#in 54 theres clearly a casting choice to have all the male bartenders look alike (to the point i could hardly tell some of them apart)#which shows how controlling rubell or whatever his name was over his club down to what his bartenders look like#theres a scene in which the main character asks him if he can add his friends to the list and all he says is “do they look like you?”#idk maybe im reading too much into it#anyways back to michael#clearly hes conventionally attractive by 90s standards which would prob be why he had gotten that bartending job to begin with#which would make people more willing to talk to him because hes a pretty guy#which is good for an informant because he needs people who talk and who let him into their crime ring#i do think he sneaks daniel in sometimes btw#just for funzies#hes the cool older brother who has no idea what hes doing is detrimental#i think there should be a prequel where its just about michael and daniel and their brotherhood#id write the fic but i dont want to#saw franchise#sawtism#saw movies#sawposting#saw#saw 2#michael marks#54#obligatory 54 tag

ive made my feelings on veilguard clear atp but i WILL say as a tragedy enjoyer act 3 really redeems sooooo much of it for me. esp having my rook-and-siblings worldstate bc let me tell u 3 rooks = 3 separate tragedies is DOING it for me rn. a bellaramancer a hardingmancer and a varricmancer walk into a bar. they all walk out single 😍
#tay plays datv#datv spoilers#datv#genuinely so funny that in my canon worldstate ashara is the ONLY one who gets an ~officially~ happy ending#tho she suffered more than jesus to get it lol#(and can i just say ''ashara goes to silent hill'' being her HAPPY ending is everything i have EVER wanted for the end of her arc kfgjfkg)#but elspeth is for sure dead in datv and probs alistair too bc in my head any alternative is worse#cillian is dead. anders in my heart is also dead#bellara dead. harding dead. varric dead. SHITS CRAZY LOL...... KIND OF LOVE IT TBH.......#< girls when theyre fucking sick in the head 😍#anyway despite the misery im actually kind of feeling like deia/matthas/evander get one of the happiest endings out of all of them#bc its like.... yes all their lovers are dead. but theyre forever bonded in love and theyre a family again and ALWAYS will be#theyll grieve but they wont be grieving alone. there is capacity for healing together#also. to me dragon age has always been about the inherently destructive nature of self mythology and people falling into legend#elspeth/cillian/ashara are all destroyed by it and thats why they cant exist in the world. they HAVE 2 die or go to silent hill superhell#deia/matthas/evander and the ONLY ones who remain PEOPLE after everything. just people. they can fade into obscurity if they want#or continue fighting the good fight - in a normal person way#whatever they pick the choice is ultimately up to them..which is a choice my other protags have never had as an option#anyway. as i said. this game goes so fucking hard when you're hallucinating 70% of it#oc: ashara#oc: elspeth#oc: cillian#oc: deia#oc: evander#oc: matthas

Some Konatsus + Akari (with Ukyo and Ryoga) to celebrate the reboot and some sillies because I'll never not be obsessed.
#trainer kris#rival silver#trainer kotone#ranma#invisible art#was doodling my ranma sillies which made me think about the days when i'd post all of these guys a lot together#also even tho posting about kris and kotone in the both johto squad is fun i have a lot of difficulty separating them as characters#they have their own silvers#i'm really bad at drawing kotone's which is why i pretty much never do#also he kinda looks like he has braces(?) probs because my kneadable eraser is crap
