also I'm pretty sure there was a moment (mid-cross talk during the ep) as somebody was mentioning Orym always being in the protective/defensive position and thus in the thick of it, when Dorian muttered almost too quietly, a little admiring, a little (hollowly) laughing, a lot sad, "Always right in the mix..."
and by "I'm pretty sure" I mean I can't stop thinking about it
#ROBBIE DAYMOND#YOU WILL ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES#Dorian doesn't want to lose Orym#but how do you tell a person who you admire for their bravery that they need to be less brave#(this was a conversation keyleth and vax had many times)#ugh my heart#c3e94#cr spoilers#spoilers#critical role#orym#dorym#it's gonna happen guys I can feel it#but it's gonna be several more bad bumps before we get there#also to be clear#robbie is amazing and Dorian almost spoke so many times this ep#and I just am waiting for this bottled up blend of feelings to explode

So, something that's emotionally devastated me upon reading SVSSS Volume 3 is this sequence of conversation between Shen Qingqiu and Yue Qingyuan after the collapse of Maigu Ridge:
From deep within Shen Qingqiu’s mind came the sound of something tearing. In that instant, all of Yue Qingyuan’s past ardent concern, his wordless protectiveness, all kinds of scenes, all manner of details, connected within his mind like a merry-go-round, clear beyond compare. No wonder no matter how “Shen Qingqiu” dug his own grave, the sect leader never made life difficult for him and instead remained infinitely forgiving, infinitely patient. No wonder the rescuer Shen Jiu had been waiting for never returned. Yue Qingyuan, Shen Qingqiu; Yue Qi, Shen Jiu. So that’s how it was! That’s how it was! “I really…didn’t mean to not return,” said Yue Qingyuan. “Only, it really is true that the world is pitiless, and so the two of us passed each other by…”
This is obviously tragic enough on its own, but the thing that makes it so much worse is the fact that it is a direct allusion to this sequence, taking place just a short time before, where the true shape of Su Xiyan and Tianlang Jun's doomed romance was drawn out:
“This one is an outsider, so he can know nothing of your heart. But what he does know and what he did see was Benefactor Su refusing to listen to the orders of the master who’d raised her for over a decade. Even when tormented in the Water Prison, she refused to say anything, refused to trick or harm you. If not as a last resort, what mother in this world would drink that kind of poison? “It wasn’t that she didn’t care about you, but that she was without alternative. Yet the world is pitiless, and so you passed each other by…” “Tianlang-Jun’s lips seemed to tremble slightly. A long moment passed. Then he said, “Is that so?” Right after those three words, he asked again, “Truly?” “This one swears upon his life that his words contain not a single falsehood,” said Master Wu Chen. Tianlang-Jun turned his head to look at Shen Qingqiu and Yue Qingyuan. As if seeking confirmation, he asked, “Truly?” He didn’t even care whether someone was in the know; he was just asking anyone he could. Unable to say anything, Yue Qingyuan silently lowered his head. It was unclear what he thought. Shen Qingqiu deliberated over it further, then finally gave a slow nod.
And, just for another twist of the knife of poignant tragedy, MXTX didn't even stop at that. There is one more use of this line, at the very end of the Shen Jiu extras:
Yue Qingyuan shouldn't have met this kind of fate. For the purpose of attending a decades-late appointment, in order to fulfill a futile, meritless promise. The sword broken, the man dead. It shouldn't have been like this. Threads of blood unfurled, extending outward. Right before they should have converged into one, they passed each other by.
#anyway if anyone needs me i shall be throwing myself into the nearest river (nonlethally)#hopefully it was obvious but the emphasis in those passages is mine#long post#apologies it just did not feel right to cut it down#svsss#voidling speaks#yue qingyuan#shen qingqiu#tianlang jun#su xiyan#shen jiu#mxtx#you will answer for your crimes

Holy shit. Okay so so:
Jeffrey Jerome Cohen in his Seven Theses states that “the monster most often arises to enforce the laws of exogamy, both the incest taboo…and the decrees against interracial sexual mingling…usually in the service of some notion of group “purity”.
And I’ve been thinking a long time about the intersection of racial fetishization and monstrosity and the various ways many monsters are both hypersexualized and racialized in a way to further dehumanize. And it immediately made me think of the werewolves in twilight and how they are constantly called “dirty”, “smelly”, “dogs”, etc by the Cullens who want to keep the werewolves away from Bella because they are “too dangerous”. We’ve always known that the portrayal of the indigenous in twilight was very racist, but Meyer’s werewolves quite literally embody Meyer’s anxieties and obsession surrounding miscegenation.
To nail home this point JJC says: “Feminine and cultural others are monstrous enough by themselves in patriarchal society, but when they threaten to mingle, the entire economy of desire comes under attack.”
And this is where it’s REALLY pertinent because the monstrous being in the story isn’t the Cullens but Bella’s desires!! Bella’s attraction to the wolves and her love for the tribe is something that the very white very bourgeois Cullens cannot fucking stand!! Edward wishes to control Bella’s sexuality and relegate it into a safe structure (Heterosexuality as a Regime ™️)

@quiddie’s use of color and symbolism for Suvi is fantastic. Not only does she wear pretty much exclusively citadel colors (blue) despite her favorite color being red, but her blue hair is a result of flying too close to the sun as a child… getting too excited about the promise of wizardly power in the erith depository, and when she tried to channel it through herself, it nearly killed her, and (I assume) left her with permanently white hair, so that she now dyes it blue. She was so enamored with wonders of the citadel that she gave up a part of herself to become a part of it. It has molded her in ways that she does not fully understand, and she must put parts of herself aside to allow that.
I’m feeling a little emotional about the Sky having to be blue all the time, but secretly liking red better.

Dp x Dc crossover promt
What if GIW was created by Justice League
to answer the never ending calls for help?
I mean, it would be more believable then JL just ignoring it, right? (Black out, blocked off and isolated Amity park - no complaints, you’re doing great sweetie)
Maybe they’re different than what is seen in the show, but what if? They’d definitely hide their actual goals, and try to set the narrative, benefiting them. Maybe while they were formed, the government somehow affected the recruitment and its legal purpose (idk how to word it any other way, bear with me here), so GIW doesn’t turn out how JL expected?
Like, the main thing is the League knows about the problem and thinks it’s being handled, completely blinded by the GIW doing everything to JL from paying more than a glance towards Amity park. Possibly even gently swayed by the GIW , who’re being careful to give just enough info to make JL to draw their own conclusions, but not too much to alert the League of their less then moral goals and methods
#dp x dc#dc x dp#dpxdc#dp x dc crossover#dp x dc prompt#dc x dp crossover#dc x dp prompt#I wonder what would spur JL into action though#is it the pariah dark incident when the town disappeared or#the stray calls they get that don’t reroute to GIW as they programmed them for the ghost issues for one or other reason#or what even made them create an organization aside from /too many calls/#I’d also imagine the GIW taking those calls and gathering info that way. imagine the horror#of trying to tell JL about the problem#probably spilling more info than you expected#and then hearing#Thank you for your cooperation with Ghost Investigation Ward#Your information is invaluable to bringing Justice to the world#or the GIW saying to some protesters on the street#in answer to the yells of /The JL would beat your ass for your crimes!/#And the GIW replying#Don’t worry. Justice League is already there#Right in front of you#wow that’s a lotta tags for me#anyway pls tell me if something’s wrong#or if I missed something#Justice League created GIW#feel free to add on if you something on your mind for that#I’m drained on my end

will theo ever be happy
Maybe in another life.
#theo#jack#confusing and alienating everyone who only followed me after i started drawing furries by referencing my old nonfurry character dynamics#but this got me thinking about theo's only happy endings and how they all involve jack...#who i'm not drawing right now. oops. sorry fella#oh theo... see what happens when you're separated from your emotional support tramp#you start committing crimes against nature and people get worried about you#real answer: probably not in amaranthine but who knows WE'RE NO WHERE NEAR FIGURING OUT AN ENDING HAHA#i could ramble for another thousand paragraphs about why he probably won't be happy in amaranthine but to summarize:#1. trying to do crimes against nature for insane reasons#2. only “positive” relationship is an evil parasite who is using and manipulating him#3. only person he talks to about his problems is a dead body#4. no jack to keep him stable... so far. i want to add him to the story but that's a long way off#but if you want to make A version of theo happy you can play our game Wishbone (once it's done...). he's in it because of course he is.#my draws#asks

I think if Mairon had to acknowledge exactly how fucking messed up he is because of Melkor and everything he did to survive Angband and what he built himself into during the First Age, I think he would-- well. I think he wouldn't, is the thing.
I think he can't allow himself to think about it too hard. What was it Charlie Vickers said about him still putting himself down through the rabbit hole-- he's been moving forward so long that he can't stop and look his own darkness in the eye. None of this can be about him, about fixing him. He utterly refuses the self-scrutiny. It has to be about fixing the world, about finding that perfect peace at any cost. I really don't think he thought about the elvish rings healing him. And actually I think if he put Nenya on and had a moment of-- idk, peace or healing or some distance from the scars Melkor left, I think it would be absolutely agonizing to him.
And you know, if he got to the end of his ruthless pursuit for perfect order and got everything he thinks he wants, I don't even know if he could look at the ruin of himself and what all the means have done to him in pursuit of an end.
I don't know that he could stop! He's been running so long!!!! I like to think that part of his refusal to plead with the Valar for pardon and mercy-- in addition to not wanting to be shamed and beholden to other people for the work of repair-- is that he can't listen when anyone says, you need to sit down and look at the trauma in you, it'll feel so bad, but you need to do it to really move past it, and then you'll need to see the steps you took in His shadow, as His shadow-- he can't, he can't, he doesn't want to, he won't, he'll keep running, there is no stopping--
#he's the embodiment of evil AND he's that awful guy who REFUSES to go to therapy. he scoffs if you ask and changes the subject.#HE WON'T LOOK HIMSELF IN THE EYE#these are some half-baked thoughts#mairon inspiration#i think it's important that he makes the one ring and sacrifices even more of himself in the pursuit of order#and it's not exactly about him-- not in an 'i need to fix myself' way#it's absolutely 'i am THE ONLY ONE who can fix what has been broken in EVERYONE ELSE'#to save or to rule? there is no difference. STILL.#fuck i cannot believe i think about sauron this much#charlie vickers answer for YOUR CRIMES upon my heart#sauron#mairon#rings of power#rop meta#ish. not sure this is coherent#i'm sinking my teeth into him and shaking him like a dog with a chew toy#kate watches rings of power

Saw a Take earlier today like "Ed stans have only 1 argument and it's accusing everyone who likes Izzy of being problematic" or something to that effect
and it made me think "Nah babe, you're not problematic. You're just wrong."
And then I thought. Huh. Why do I think that?
It's a perfectly respectable thing to read a text in a way it wasn't intended to be read. In fact, "reading against the grain", doing critical readings, shifting perspectives when engaging with a text - all of thee are important skills! You can, and should, do feminist, antiracist, postcolonial, queer, etc readings of texts that were never intended to be read that way. Hell, all fandom (often) is, is doing queer readings! Ask the text uncomfortable questions it doesn't want to answer!
However. It's pretty difficult to do a queer reading when the text already is a queer narrative. The questions you would ask the text if you did a queer reading, or a reading focused on gender roles, or similar things - those are questions the text is already actively exploring.
If you want to do a subversive reading of a text that is already quite subversive - what do you end up with?
"What's the story like from Izzy's perspective?" is a question ofmd deliberately doesn't focus too much on because Izzy's perspective is the default and ofmd wants to challenge that. There's a reason the angry white man is the antagonist in this show, and if you ask "Okay, but could he be right though?" you're missing the point.
Or rather, you're turning everything that's interesting about ofmd back around. You're asking "Okay, but why don't we focus on a white perspective that strictly adheres to oppressive power structures?" of a narrative who already asked itself this question and gave the answer "Because that's been done enough and there are other stories worth telling."
And I think people are aware of that, which is how we end up with completely bizarre takes like "Izzy has the only queer character arc". He hasn't, but he has the only arc that a queer reading can be done on - for everyone else it's text, plain and simple. Refusing to engage with that text in favour of centering Izzy is basically doing a heteronormative reading without being willing to admit it to yourself.
And no, interpreting Izzy as a queer man doesn't change that.
#its not about your headcanon its about the questions you ask the text!!!#'do the people who abuse and bully stede have a point?'#no says the text. NEVER. theres nothing wrong with being a gnc weirdo.#if you want to answer yes - okay why? why do you think the text is wrong in answering no?#'is ed changing how he acts and presents himself behaviour that needs to be corrected?'#no says the text. a lot what we are taught about being a man is wrong.#again. if your answer is yes. ask yourself why.#and so on. like im not saying youre committing a thought crime just. be honest about what your interpretation is actually asking yk#our flag means death#izzy hands#thoughts#the izcourse

15 MAY 392, VIENNE Valentinian II, only twenty one years old, is found dead.
Theodosius and the Limits of Empire, Mark Hebblewhite
Valentinian II has me feeling some kind of way, especially since Gratian had treated his half brother in a similar manner. It’s always been a prison! they’re never going to let you out!
I read about Valentinian II in the Valens biography and didn’t think much of it, but the situation became significantly less funny when I got started on the Theodosius biography. aughhh. Valentinian II……..
⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app / tip jar!
#Galla should’ve been allowed to curse or maim or kill Theodosius for what he did to her brother.#like do whatever you want I’ll hold him down. theodosius answer for your crimes. specifically this one idc about the other ones#the other ones are fine#late Roman Empire tag#drawing tag

real ones remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they saw the panic attack scene for the first time
i was on a bus, sitting in my seat, both airpods in. fully immersed yall. i was already having a hard time getting through that scene because of the constant claire and how carmy was about to keel over and die, but i stuck it out
then BOOM. sydney adamu. the light of this man’s life. and carmen berzatto had the NERVE… to calm down and smile. CALM DOWN AND SMILE. what a FUCKING JOKE.
anyways, then we got a double hit with the damn table scene a little while later and i couldn’t watch anymore for the day
