BCS color theory - minor characters edition

Ernesto is true blue

Marco is red, of course

Francesca is mostly in neutral tones, which makes sense, although she notably is wearing blue when Jimmy manipulates her to join the dark side (notice Jimmy in purple - a mix of legal blue and illegal red)

Erin is fittingly in gray - her legal philosophy is the opposite of colorful

Omar is also in gray, plus a hint of blue

Lyle is ride-or-die for his yellow-coded boss

Bill Oakly is bluer than I remember - it fits because he's so deeply associated with the law

Paige is mostly in black, a color I haven't talked a lot about yet. Mike is our major character who is most associated with black, and I think it fits Paige too - no nonsense, just doing her job

Sometimes I think a lot about Arthur's old journal, the one he had prior to the game's events that got burned in a fire, and how Arthur went a long time without a replacement.

He wrote that he missed writing and drawing, more than he thought he would.

The journal is a wonderful tool that allows us see through Arthur's eyes and how he deals with things, it's one of his healthiest coping mechanisms, so it makes me wonder what those journal-less months were really like for Arthur.

Whatever and wherever the fire was, the time spent up north in the Grizzlies and travelling down from it, Dutch nearly buying some land but getting spooked by the law, new people joining them, and then the gang spending months in the wilderness before moving to Blackwater - it all sounded like a hectic time. But he never wrote about how he felt, he just wrote about what had happened.

Yet, he said he missed writing and drawing. He missed it. He had the itch to write and draw for ages, but he couldn't.

Maybe he struggled with the chaos of those few months without a journal to empty his frustrations and thoughts into, maybe he saw so many things he wanted to draw and it aggravated him that he couldn't, maybe he was slightly more irritable than usual with everything that had pent up and having no means to release it, and so on.

I just think about it a lot.

Especially if you took the journal out of the main game, you'd be taking out a huge portion of the story and the insights we have into who Arthur is as a person too. It's impossible for Arthur to not write in the journal, even if you never open it. It's a vital tool that helps define him and show us how he moves through the world, how he copes with the world.

So if Arthur had his journal taken away by a fire all those months ago and went a long time without, what would he have been like?

Silly little am relationship chart I made for funsies :] the actual relationships under the cut mdndjdnf

n also thats not all the ocs mostly bc . i have no idea what to put for the rest HENDKDND

Familial

family bonds!!!! Blood related and not :] all ocs r not blood related to those they r connected to but have sibling bonds just as strong as those that are

Romantic

pretty self explanatory i think... Trafficlight (Abigail/Somerild/Cassandra), Goldenpage (Aslan/Daniel), Fish n chips (Fischer/Octavian), RoVin (Robyn/Kevin), Coyle (Colby/Kyle)

Platonic

hehehehehdbehejdnjensnakekednjeebebebdhhebe

Distanced

kept at arm's length to be simply put... Lottie loves them all so dearly, genuinely, but god her seer visions make it so... anyway, tavi and colby steer clear of each other outside of group settings and aslan . is just deeply unsettled by how much kevin researches his family and ivy.. i forgot to put arrows pointed at ivy for most of them actually, they're trying but lord she is trigger-happy with evanesco.....

Fear

again with lottie!!! her seer stuff is . really putting a strain on her relationships but she's still doing her best to be normal around them, they don't even know about her future sights until much much later on because she wanted to save them from that :[ besides that, colby's fear of octavian comes from the duel that happened between his brother and tavi, while winnie and rory's fear stems from being evanescoed (almost for rory, if cj lost that saving roll abi would've taken the shot....), and kevin's fear is from knowing what winnie is n then there's just . kyle . rabid dog /aff

Loathing

:]

My current party is, like, 75% comprised of tanks and tanks only. I'm talking Karlach. I'm talking Lae'zel. I'm talking my Gith paladin Lii'ira. All the girls who can beat you up without breaking a sweat.

Powerful, strong ladies.

Powerful, strong ladies and Astarion.

I call it "Astarion and the gals".

This might be a very specific experience, but I think a huge reason I didn't even realize or even want to be bisexual was specifically because of this intersection of my manhood and the way it's viewed

There's this toxic merry-go-round I find myself riding where I am so desperate to not be one of those guys to a woman that it winds up being an inability to connect to women* because of this hyperpolicing I end up doing. For the longest time, I repressed myself because of this impulse, and I find it interesting. It's interesting seeing how this aspect of patriarchy impact me in such a way that I was too afraid of myself and the people around me.

As a trans man, I felt the pressure to prove both that I'm not one of those men, but also, that I wasn't this predatory trans man, that anything I did was in service to proving why I should (or should not) continue to exist. Simultaneously, I am both not a man, but also a predatory man because of my transness, a threat to be contained. I felt this before as somebody who is multisexual, but it somehow affects me more in the aspect of how I interact with women* and womanhood* from the outside.

There isn't an overarching theme to this post, a message about what you can do. It's mostly reflecting on my experiences and thinking about where my impulse to think myself as guilty until proven innocent plays into how I've started viewing myself. I don't want to overgeneralize, but I've seen this expressed by many a trans man*.

yayy another poem about the same damn things <333

~

I almost hate good books because they end, and kids in higher grades because they're graduating before me. I almost hate strangers pets,

and people who sit by me at the airport

and people waiting near me in line

and kids I talked to once in the halls

and weeklong summer camps

and new old dogs.

i almost hate the girl who sat across me mid flight to dallas. I think about her every day.

cuz fuck. i almost loved her. couldve loved them all. see they're all things with an ending I knew before it came, knew when I had the chance to stop it, and I fell for it anyway.

whats it worth, I ask for the thousandth time, when I walk into this again well aware the end isnt one I can change.

what's it worth, I ask for the thousandth time, tracing a worn path, reading the lines of a story I know by heart.

wouldn't it be easier to stay away. wouldn't it be easier to hate beforehand like i say I could. its inevitable what's coming, I know I know. yet i dont care until I do.

wouldn't it be easier to drop them before they can ever get the chance to drop me,

and if so,

why haven't I yet?

stupid question. I know why.

sometimes,

i sing fate like it's a camp song. most times you are singing with me.

Seeing people saying Fit is soooo jealous about Pac being excited to meet Wilbur is silly considering the fact that Fit offered Pac advice on what to do / how to act, offered to introduce them, and also said he'd write a "strongly worded message" to Wilbur if he didn't log on because Fit didn't want to disappoint Pac. I know we all love drama but at the end of the day: Fit's happy seeing Pac happy.
