i have absolutely zero interest in the "ascendant!astarion/obedient, submissive spawn!tav" content that everyone seems so crazy about, but you know what ascendant!astarion ship does intrigue me? ascendant!astarion/absolute!tav. astarion is tav's sire. tav is astarion's god. what the fuck would that even look like?

#baldur's gate 3 #astarion #ascendant astarion #i'm just intrigued by the sudden reversal that must occur #astarion basically makes you his slave and gets to enjoy the power trip for all of like. two days.#and then suddenly you become a literal god and he just another of your worshipers #you know how ascendant!astarion says all cringey shit about tav sitting naked and obedient on his lap or w/e?#tav just doing an old switcheroo on that lil fantasy. yeah. yeah.

”—ah. seems like mother goose has been playing around in your egg salad. if you won’t dance to that tune, I got others.”

honestly, the would you kindly scene is whatever to me*, code yellow is the more interesting violation/betrayal of the body because of how beautifully it escalates the Fontaine reveal/betrayal and shows how ugly some of those ‘locks and keys’ that Tenenbaum mentions are. not only have you been a tool in another man’s hand this entire time, it goes deeper. your body is not your own.

*there used to be a meandering thought here about the would you kindly scene, but it was really just talking around the fact that I spent way too many years seeing people discuss it in the most insufferable and reductive ways possible when it’s a combination of three or four other things that make that moment compelling lmao

collage credits: heart one/heart two

⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / tip jar!

#honestly if Fontaine was upfront about wanting Ryan dead I’d have done it after ten minutes of walking around Rapture #I have (squints) somehow two ideas about suchong I want to get out. one more abt atlas and manipulation #there’s a specific kind of family adjacent horror occurring in the text and it’s WILD that suchong is the one we hear Jack refer to #in familial terms while two other men force themselves onto you by appropriating the father role over your body :)#to be clear tho I don’t actually think Fontaine had any familial sentiments towards Jack he’s just occupying Ryan’s space now #bioshock #WHEEZING can you tell that I think every ‘wow a man chooses/a slave obeys is so deep!’ think piece is stupid as hell #thankfully it’s not as prevalent as it was a decade ago but my god people thought it was the height of philosophy for too long #ANYWAY ALL OF THIS TO SAY. there’s a certain kind of trans anxiety/horror in having your body betray you. or generally body #anxiety. but I read a lot about it in a medieval gender context so it’s trans to me. amongst other things.

Solas addressing current day Thedas about his plans to bring down the Veil:

#the egg was going to save the elves and lead a rebellion and instead you made it all about mythal and only mythal #by all means have mythal and solas's relationship be fucked #but why minimize Solas's entire past as a freedom fighter for this?? his motivations were lessened so much from what trespasser set up #the game made him so unlikable to me #joplin cut save me </3 #that version actually had him helping the elves like he said he was going to do in trespasser -> instead he started two world wars in datv #he absolutely only made life worse for the elves and everyone else on thedas since the moment he woke from his beauty sleep & that's fucked #led to thousands and thousands more dying and the entire south being blighted to hell #make the man whose flaw is that he cares too much cause the most harm to everyone on thedas in its TOTALITY from the titans to this point #they did you dirty solas >:(#people won't remember him in thedas as a freedom fighter post datv -> there will be no songs or legends about the true fen'harel #remembered as he should be as the man who stood up to gods for the slaves -> who risked all he had in the name of freedom against tyrants #instead he set in motion the greatest conflict of the age as well as corypheous -> people will curse his name just like the dalish once did #they will look around at the blighted remains of their lands and the bodies of those they loved and they will blame him and be 100% correct #god it just makes me feel depressed what they did to him #the elves would absolutely be fucked all over again because of this - their gods returning and blighting the world #while another was responsible for it happening in the first place????#then to hint that the forbidden/forgotten ones are still out there as an antagonist too?! stoppppp #datv critical #datv spoilers #bioware critical #dragon age the veilguard

Never has "you praise a male character for the same traits you hate a female character for" been more true than with how fans react to Astarion vs Minthara

#sophie.txt #like sorryyyy their traumas made them both worse people #they were abused and decided 'ok well i simply must grab enough power so I can be the abuser now'#and yes astarion can be dragged kicking and screaming into becoming a better person whereas minthara can't #but also astarion is able to confront his abuser in a meaningful way #while you can kill orin for minthara #her primary abuser (and the primary abuser for all drow) is lolth. a god #and wtf can u do about that #they were also both in extreme positions of privilege before where they were able to oppress and abuse others #astarion as a noble magistrate who used his power to further marginalize the gur #and minthara as a drow matron in menzoberranzan where she almost certainly owned slaves and did all the typical drow matron stuff #like. both deeply fascinating characters!#however. one is coddled by fans and cheered on when he's mean #while the other. well #like yeah they're both victims they're both terrible people they're both mean they're both sad wet and pathetic #if minthara was a man ppl would be feral over her genuinely #baldur's gate #bg3 #minthara

when ppl see this & this, directed by the same person, and think the narrative is "anakin is evil" not "anakin is a steward of the balance, a force demi god, as was foretold on Mortis" 😂

#anakin skywalker #ahsoka #not my gifs #if you havent seen TCW i really feel like stock in your anakin opinion is p low #you need to watch it to get a full picture of his journey and his purpose in the galaxy #he was good and evil #he is quite literally a demi god #he is always and will always be both #his ultimate struggle was wrestling with that and failing it in life bc he couldnt accept it #he was a slave to the destiny the force created him for #he was a slave to the sith #he was a servant of the jedi #he is quintessenially never truly free #he hated and loved the jedi in equal measure #he never loved the sith #he is balanced but OF THE FORCE #he was manipulated by the dark side but he is MADE OF THE FORCE #therefore he will always stand for the force the jedi way and the light #which is why he is a forceghost #star wars #u all know how i get when i put my stanakin shoes on #anyway the ogt and prequels are buddhist allegories and anakin isnt beholden to western concepts of morality in that sense as a character #in a mythic literary epic sense #also obviously he isnt human either #which is a big ring-a-ling

Codywan au where the clone troopers are actually a reincarnated group of an ancient sect of warriors from mandalorian space. They remember pieces of their previous society; some from the beginning of their origins all the way to the last grasping few. A lot of effort goes in to getting them assigned to the correct battalions. For they had a pantheon of gods they once worshipped and while they have always been One Blood, they believed very seriously in their coming of age ceremony where they must choose the god they would worship. It might have been thousands of years, but none stray from their Chosen.

(The pantheon would be similar to others in which they might have a core group of gods, but other minor gods could also exist. Each with their own domains;

Plo Koon was The Guardian? Protector of Packs and god of loyalty.

Mac Windu the Seer, protector/god of the past and future

While Yoda could be one of their oldest gods, his domains having shifted through the years but mainly protector of the young.

And then quigon who is associated with natural disasters. Legend is he was roaming their world, damning and saving mortals as he went, when he created a disaster so wroth, so powerful, he could not bare for it to fade. He pleaded with his grand sire and eventually Yoda agreed to help him. Combining their domains they turned the raging storm in to a young godling.

Obi-Wan, nature personified.

There are many legends involving the young godling and his journey. How he discovers his domains. And how he uses them to follow in his father’s footsteps to create children in his Image. For what is more natural than life and death?

Obi-wan is not the only one to create a god, but he is the only one to not need assistance. He becomes the Creator, the god of natural order, Father of Life (ahsoka) & death (Anakin)

Over the centuries the Line of Natural Order is adapted to many cultures within their system. Other attributes are gifted to them by followers of The Great Powers as well;

Life, goddess of survival & champion of the light side of the Great Power.

Death, god of balance & champion of the dark side of the Great Power.

The Creator, god of natural order and the Blessed, those who hold connections with the Great Power. )

and like I don't quite know where I was going with this, but clone wars era where the clones kind of remember this culture that doesn't seem to be recorded anywhere and these jedi that feel something Awaken when they meet these shining lights in the force.

and Obi-Wan gently cupping Cody's face, his blue eyes shining brightly. Obi-Wan allowing the force to guide him as he gently lays a kiss upon Co-, no, Kote's forehead, the warrior breathing in harshly as the first Blessing in thousands of years is granted to him. Kote is glory and Kote will uphold the Natural Order as The Creator, Ken'Obi, sees fit. For Kote is now Blessed by his patron God.

i dont even know this got away from me ugh

#the god of death and balance anakin listen he is the SkyWalker who guides souls to become one with the Great Power #anciet slaves who pray for a warm welcome when they can find none while alive #those who pray that balance would be restored and no longer woudl they grieve #codywan fic #codywan #life sruvival ahsoka who is born from the creator unknowingly #she is found by the god of loyalty #she is raised for a time as Pack #but she years for her Father and she gets reunited with the Creator and death balance Brother #troopers secretly building alters on their ships and the jedi not noticing their connection to the Force growing stronger and less clouded #how did i get here #ayla being a goddess of combat and champion of the Freedmen who was raised by the god of safe travel and mischief theres maybe a legend #or two about her falling for one of her devoted priests #he may or may not be cursed by a dark entity and is forced to kill her #the legend says their joined tears helped a seed to grow and a certain tree that sprouts and #that is associated with devout love is their legacy but you didnt hear it from me #ugh i need to stop with these tags

Okay but consider post Canon over protective Athena who is sick to death of her most devout being raped.

Athena sticking close to the whole family and promising penelope that she'll keep a close eye on odysseus the first time he has to go into the market and penelope can't go with him. (She was going to go anyway. She's never actually going to let any of them out of her sight ever again. And it's an easy promise to her dearest weaver who seems so distressed to have odysseus leaving her side.)

Athena fully manifesting in the market when someone grabs odysseus with godly flashes of snakes and owls and the drums of war to scream /release him/ (odysseus is feeling indulgent for both his patron and his wife it's so cute that they're this worried it's not like he couldn't defend himself just fine. Especially from whatever poor fuck just grabbed him who definitely doesn't deserve a goddess screaming in his face. Hes trying so hard not to laugh if he did athena would send him flying.)

Athena telling all the other gods that yes she knows odysseus is the favorite barbie doll she choose him well after all and to back the fuck off if any of them bother him again they will have made an enemy of her.

Athena disguising odysseus only as an old beggar from here on out instead of an irresistibly tall and handsome man. Because she saw how uncomfortable nausicaa's attention made him.

#The odyssey #Odysseus #Athena #Penelope #Nausicaa #Tw: rape #Tw:rape recovery #Tw: Calypso keeping odysseus as a sex slave for seven years #Tw: forced prostitution #See what happened with circe #I know in ancient Greek stories there's a lot of serial violence in various shapes and forms #But it seems like it happens more to athenas choosen/priestess/most devot #And it feels a little bit more targeted beyond it being a horrific violation #Like it's targeted towards Athena for her choice on being chaste #Which just adds another layer of fucked upness #And I've always felt like this contributes to Athena being cold #And at some point I imagine she'd get sick of it and course correct into overprotectivness from being cold #Headcanon that penelope goes a little bit insane when odysseus gets back (you're never allowed to leave my sight ever again )#(Don't worry it's mutual odysseus is into it he also never wants to leave his wife's side ever again)#Athena: standing protectively over odysseus in full god mood and hissing #Odysseus: not that this isn't an amazing ego boost but (and I can't believe you're making me be the voice of reason ) arent you overreactin #Odysseus: I mean you were never this protective when I was an actual literal child #Odysseus: or when I was fighting in an actual literally war fighting against gods and demi gods #Athena slightly embarrassed but is not sorry she sent whoever grabbed odysseus flying : SHUT UP #Love the fact that this whole group has the time and the support of each other to actually try to heal from their many many traumas #I know I did this in a slightly joking way but healing from abuse of power and violations are so important to me #Stories about healing in general #That's my jam #Anyway not tagging this as epic because of 1. Athena and odysseus's friendship break up #And 2. The change to circes story (which i actually like a lot! But still the odyssey Canon circe was also a sa situation.)

seeing non-black people critique rick's portrayal of black characters is interesting sometimes. only like 30% of the critiques I see make any sense to me to be honest

#“rick made carter be an elvis presley fan that's fucked up!” is a real thing I just read #do you think black people can't enjoy elvis even though he appropriated black culture for personal gain #boy you would not like what I have to tell you about eminem. or kpop. or anything else bc black culture has been #appropriated by like everyone forever. are black people not allowed to enjoy iggy or ariana or billie or [the list goes on]#I myself am not biracial but I /mostly/ like carter and sadie (specifically carter who isn't white-passing) as black representation #the part where carter feels indignant that he has to hold himself to a higher standard because the world is harsher on black boys #did genuinely resonate with me when I first read that part as a child and it still does to this day #can we talk about how rick knows nothing about black hair instead #or how hazel is from the jim crow era and seems to not have one single thought about race in the modern era #or hazel's horror over the amazons keeping slaves but “no they're not slaves they just like it that way 🥰”#my problems with hazel are not at all about stereotypes I just don't buy her as an authentic portrayal of a black girl from the 1930s #don't get me started on beckendorf. does every black character need to die a violent horrible death rick #anyways this isn't intended to make anyone feel bad but we need more meaningful nuance in critiques beyond “hey that's a stereotype! bad!”#if you can't discern and communicate WHY it's bad then you're not saying anything of substance #is it a caricature? is it uninformed/underresearched? are all the characters from that group being represented in that way?#is the stereotype itself a degradation of that group? is it being played for laughs? is the character a one-dimensional stereotype?#what can we glean about the biases of the author/narrative and their worldview through their portrayal of certain groups in the text?#a big part of literary analysis and critique is not only pointing out The Thing. you need to also say something about The Thing #like if you have a black character say they like hiphop then sure it's a “stereotype”. but lots of black people do like hiphop #it's an important part of black american culture and portraying that in media isn't racist by default #and in fact lots of poc keep parts of themselves quiet for fear of being perceived as a “stereotype” when we shouldn't have to do that #BUT if you're doing it like jonah wizard was written in the 39 clues then that's where we've got a problem bc wtf was that rick #that was so racist oh my god I was like 11 years old reading that 😭 and then he had the white mc poke fun at him for being a gangster #and him being a “gangsta” was always played for laughs throughout the story #not being pro-rick here as I'm a big fan of critical riordan reading just being pro-thoughtful critiques because some of you guys actually #sound a wee bit ignorant when saying things like what was mentioned in the first tag #baye.txt #pjo hoo toa #rr crit #<- tagging that just for. well the tags basically

S3! Mahidevran sultan + The burden of love and duty

I'm ready to burn in hell to keep you safe.

Orla Gartland / Anne Carson / Japanese Breakfast / Benjamin Alire Sáenz / Margaret Atwood / Sarah Kinsley

#this is a messy mix of a web weaving and a mahi edit but anyways. just trying something new #is this about the burden of her old memories?#or is it about her duty as mother of mustafa & the burden of just being alone as a parent & as a counselor with a sehzade thats is learning #and a Sultan that will never get it #or maybe the burden of feeling you need to do anything for your sehzade's future. at the cost of your conscience #??? well actually is about mahi carrying the burden of the whole show on her shoulders /j #I'm not really sure tbh. but there's really something about having your whole life dedicated to raise a good ruler to the empire you're an #slave of #that's crazy to me like oh god #and having NO WAY to win because you're just doomed by the padisah's favouritism and your son's love for his father #like when is my girlie resting. she gave her all #sisyphus type of role as kosem's...#mahidevran sultan #magnificent century #muhtesem yuzyil #perioddramaedit #my edits #mc edit #graphics #graphic edit #web weaving #(kind of)#forgot to say I kinda tried drawing thingies here #they look weird when you zoom so don't look at them very much. they only work if you see them from the distance #filter credits to crownedfilters in ig

reeeaaally really empathizing hard w/ rots anakin right now. like. oh yeah ok i get it. he's been sleep-deprived & running w/ a high level of stress hormones nonstop for months. he keeps asking for advice and help and the jedi just say "what does yr heart tell you?" and "try not worrying about it. 🧘‍♂️" and the only person who actually seems to care about him is.... evil? but. that can't be right... what?

but there's no time to think about it because he did what he were supposed to do and told the jedi and now events are moving very fast and oops he got in the way and did something very impulsive and now mace windu is dead and it's anakin's fault, actually. and he still hasn't processed anything that's happened in the last... week? two months? ever in his life? but his friend palpatine is there and telling him that it's okay. that he did the right thing, that he did good. and guess what anakin? you don't have to worry about making any more hard decisions, because palpatine is gonna make them for you and you just have to do them. isn't that better? isn't that easier? isn't it?

#keeping it fun and funky fresh #personal #uh the empathizing part is that i am feeling Real lost and confused and scared rn. p rock bottom.#and i'm like. ohhh if my mentor/father figure/the only person who treats me like an actual person came up to me and was like #hey matty. i am gonna take care you from now on. i am gonna take care of *everything.*#i would absolutely be like. yes please. god. finally. what do you need me to do in exchange? i'll do it #and i haven't even been living in a cult of warrior-monks while fighting a seemingly futile war after growing up a slave.#the guy is... pretty primed for it is what i'm saying. inured to violence; accustomed to living in high-control environments #not to mention the decade of grooming palpatine has been doing offscreen #D:#i've also been watching star trek & any time there's an episore that's like...#would you rather live in that fake but peaceful+joyful world? or this real and violent+tragic world?#and it's like. hey man. at this point in my life i would take the good fake world p much without hesitation.#star wars

whenever i see people defend having ai in everything because they believe we are on the cusp of the great singularity blah blah sci-fi magic future that does not (& most likely will not ever) exist:

#humanoid robotics do exist & are in their infancy but they will never be anything more than sex dolls filled w REMs mined by child slaves #hot take maybe but literal objectification of peoples (& lets be real mostly womens) bodies is fucked up bad not cyberpunk cool!#god and the whole character ai chat bots where people 'talk to' their fave blorbos is so anti-social and sad #'its the future accept it!' current trends arent natural phenomenon like rain. theyre pushes by women hating tech bro capitalists. thats al #theres a world that could have these technologies (advanced ai not the sex dolls part) & be fine but we dont live there!!#maybe one day scifi magic 'ai that is actually sentient' question could be real but you are delulu to think its not lifetimes away #i just watched measure of a man last night (probably why this is on my mind) & it was great. data is a machine but also is indeed a person!#i hate to break it to everyone though (especially as a baby trekkie myself) that star trek is unfortunately not a documentary #im not getting into it rn but it drives me crazy that so many popular MLs on this site turn into sniveling But My Treats liberals over ai 🙄
