I get polyamory is popular these days and all, and I've been in one of those relationships before myself, but I just can't see Zelda as a character being okay with that? and I'm not a fan of the concept of breaking Zelda's heart and betraying her trust and loyalty that she believed in so much that her sacrifice hinged on it.

Link's arm also reminds me of the start of the game. He only has the arm at all because he was protecting her and failed to catch her. If I was Link, that arm would be nothing but a constant reminder of that moment.

#zelink #tagged because of posts I keep seeing when I'm only looking for zelink #totk #tears of the kingdom #this is just my opinion #there's even an idle animation where that could be the case with the arm #and look im sorry but if you can't ask and get consent from all parties involved #if you don't have that #it's simply not polyamory at that point #it's cheating #If what you want is Link to ignore the start of the game and be a hoe that's okay! Do what you want! #but own that instead of dressing it up in sugar

👁️👁️

You must tell 👀

*rubs my little hands together* sorry for taking a bit on answering this! My brain has not been braining lately but your ask couldn't have come at a better time bc Grant has been on the mind as of late and I am hyped at the excuse to infodump abt him- [this is gonna be long I am so sorry-]

now for quick disclaimers for anyone reading this that isnt the asker or me- we're not discussing canon Grant Cohen, we're talking my Grant, this black haired dude, that guy. Another fun disclaimer, I was HEAVILY, inspired by Grant's role/character in abomination for my Grant. Taking time to awknowledge every part of his character or story that was inspired by it would make this 10x longer so if similarities are spotted know its very likely I did that on purpose bc I just really love abomination KJHFSDGKJDHGSD-

Alright with that outta the way I'ma talk a lot abt what happens to Grant in the canon of Showtime to explain what I meant and also maybe a bit of me rambling about aus that explore Grants relationship with Sammy n Joey under a more romantic lens. Should be obvious but spoilers for It's Showtime down below~

So Grant in Showtime after he dies ends up joining the ink demon cult, becoming a lost one and earning the title of The Priest.

When the cult was all together him and Sammy worked together to run it. Sammy used his connection to the ink demon to recieve messages and learn more on how to survive in this new situation and Grant made sure the lost ones acted accordingly. [A role not so far off from the one he was forced to take when the studio started facing troubles before his death] Grant also took the job of dealing with sacrificing souls and sending them back to the dark puddles, which sometimes was members of the following chosen at random and sometimes whatever poor soul found themselves captured by them.

However when Malice rose from the puddles and made a deal with the Projectionist to seize a considerable amount of the studio as theirs, the cult was split up, Sammy and Jack forced to flee to the music department and Grant with the rest of the following being down in the area of Chapter 4. This put Grant in a very bad spot, the lost ones were very shaken by this event and since then Grant worries their faith in him has wavered.

An important thing with the ink demon cult was that it is meant to be a more realistic take on how a cult works. The Ink Demon runs the cult, he is the most powerful figure in it and yet the hardest to contact, so Grant and Sammy are little more than middlemen tasked with keeping things running or else they face the ink demon's wrath. Sammy is sadly very aware that the ink demon is not as benevolent as he or the lost ones would like the believe. Grant likes to think being the Priest will at the very least protect him if things go wrong, but he is sadly mistaken.

Grant is in a very dangerous spot, he knows the lost ones beneath him are getting angsty and worried about just how truthfully safe the cult is or if they should believe in the power of the ink demon. But he also knows if things fall apart the lost ones will come to tear him apart long before they go for the ink demon. Despite him merely being a puppet for their lord. A role Grant is not ready to acknowledge, not because he isn't smart enough to see he is just a pawn, but because he chooses not to think about it, less his paranoia eat him alive yet again... A very important thing to keep in mind with Grants character.

Grant did in fact play this role in life as well however, when things started going wrong in the studio, Joey was very quick to turn away from what was going on and continue asserting everything would be fine. Which while a lie he himself believed was a lie nonetheless. However Grant quickly became his right hand man as people like Thomas and Wally started noticing cracks forming all through out the studio. Staff going missing, the ink changing in the way it behaved and an eerie feeling the machine created in both of them.

Grant despite deep down being smart enough to know things were going poorly, parroted Joey's words, hanging off of them himself and doing whatever he could to shut down any attempts to bring to light the things going wrong. Of course, him and Joey both ended up paying the price for their lies, but so did everyone else around them. But unlike Sammy, Grant barely even seemed shaken to see that, like a conspiracy theorist seeing evidence their theory isn't true only makes them double down harder, Grant only seemed to double down on the idea that if he followed every order he was given. Surely things would turn out better this time.

So that's canon to the story of Showtime, but I do want to take a second to get some AU non canon ideas out of my brain centering around Grant and his relationship to both Joey n Sammy. In canon Grant's only romantic interest is Thomas, his literal husband and there is a lot of interesting conflict there, but I fucking love shipping so of course I have a million aus merely indulging in ships I think would also be interesting to explore in their own contexts. In this case, I'm gonna ramble a bit about Sammy x Grant and Grant x Joey and the interesting things I think there are to explore in their relationships in Showtime.

So you might've noticed that while not literally [as saying the ink demon is Joey in Showtime, while somewhat true, is not the entire truth of the situation and simplifies it quite a bit] Grant did end up following Joey to the grave... And then kept following him beyond it. Something that is objectively~ very queer of him.

There's just something so compelling about the idea of Grant yearning for Joey so much, being so close yet so far as his right hand man but not being brave enough to become his lover eventually drove Grant's love for Joey to become an outright obsession. The idea that Grant's feelings for Joey became so intense from how hard he pushed them down it blinded him from seeing the truth of the situation outside of the way Joey painted it. Then dying and his obsession turning into an outright worship of him.

The idea of Grant settling for just being Joey's favorite lackey, his most loyal pet and knowing that's his role but not caring bc at least it makes him stay by Joey's side. Ohh it's an interesting one to say the least. I even did a few sketches of them u can see-

They are doomed by the narrative to me and have been on my mind a lot lately can ya tell? KJDHSFGKJHDFSGKJHDFGSD

However when it comes to Sammy and Grant, I think there is a lot of interesting potential between them too. After all they share being the Ink Demon's henchmen in all of this and to see them both come to terms with that and try to find comfort in each other is such a fun idea to me.

An au where they both decide to ditch the cult and the ink demon and on their own try to figure out what happened to Joey and how to fix things is very compelling to me. I could see their relationship starting out as doing all these things for each other under the excuse they just need comfort until it starts to turn to actual feelings for each other. Both of them coming to terms with the fact Joey was not in fact a perfect person and maybe didn't even know how bad things were getting deep down himself but also finally letting themselves hold him accountable for the lies he told... It's a very fun healing narrative and very in line with a lot of the themes It's Showtime deals with.

Either way, I just really love what I've done with Grant's character in It's Showtime, he's for sure one of the most fascinating to me and the themes his story explores are ones that are important to the story as a whole and by extension me. Umm this turned out very long but I hope u enjoyed the read! Tysm for the excuse to infodump abt him, I was itching for one as u can see KDJHGKJDHFGKJDHFGSD.

So...the book cover for Kindred was just leaked. It's a multiple MC book yet they still managed to make all three playable characters gender-locked. Are we surprised, though? PB gender-locking a witchcraft book for no reason is such a PB thing to do. This means that there'll be no new GOC books until the back half of 2023 since Rommates with Benefits, First Comes Love and The Duchess Affair are all going to "fEaTuRe a hErOiNe mC". Why does PB hate MLM and enby players so much? 😩

Well, the book hasn’t come out yet, so we don’t actually know if there’s “no reason” to genderlock the book. I feel like some people have a misconception that I think genderlocking full stop is bad. I don’t and it’s not. There are stories where anything other than a female protagonist would be to the story’s detriment. Stories like ACoR, MoTY etc. Where I draw issue (again, stemming from a desperate desire to see gay stories) is when stories are genderlocked for no discernible narrative reason. The Choices VN format is one without a fixed protagonist so like… come on, give the f-words something to eat we’re starving over here. It’s for this same reason I’m really not at all interested in male genderlocked books unless they’re also locked gay. I mean yes my unwillingness to acknowledge straight men is part of this, but also I genuinely can’t think of any story suitable or worth telling in the Choices VN format that isn’t from the perspective of a gay man. There just isn’t one.

So no, at the moment we can’t say there’s no reason. Do I suspect we’ll see there was no reason, once the book is released? Yes, absolutely; it’s why I responded in gay annoyance when I first realised they were probably gonna genderlock the witch book. But we can’t exactly say for now with certainty there is none when all we’ve got to go off is a cover and the fact that it’s supposed to be about witches.

Look we all know witchcraft and the occult is a girls gays and theys thing and it’s disappointing PB didn’t lean into that. Yeah they could’ve made one of the playable characters not a woman, in that case. We can call it a missed opportunity and move on to bigger fish like WHY did they schedule no GoC books until fucking July, instead of the specifics of an individual book.

I’m just going to end with this because something in your tone reminded me of it, and this isn’t meant to shame you anon, but still. I know there are people here who, um… will show their ass and frankly be homophobic about and around queer men and the discussion over GoC versus genderlocking, but even still, some people here are putting to much energy into responding to it. Some of you are doing to much. There’s a lot of heat there. Calm down.

#inb4 there IS a f*gg*t witch bestie side character and it makes me bite my own arm off #but yes I can agree PB does not particularly care for the queers lmao #also everyone DO NOT tag the book as simply the title alone that is also the name of an Octavia E. Butler classic. you gotta use #choices kindred #or something to that liking instead #playchoices #choices #ask me

Knight Artorias continues to be one of my absolute favorite boss fights

"victim of the Abyss" is the sexiest description one can read on a soul in this entire game by far

decided midway through fighting him that I wanted to go for a no-healing kill, mostly to prolong the experience and see if I could, and: success!! I can and did!

#dork souls tag #James liveblogs video games #yes this is what I've been doing lately instead of socmed #like listen. normal Artorias? sure; he's fine I guess. not really that interesting personally #but on the other hand: corrupted/screaming/broken arm/dripping Abyss sludge and trying to impale me!Artorias? yes. yes please. #I am but a simple human; I merely like to see a knight of the gods struggle and suffer and be metaphysically consumed by darkness :) #......ANyways. #I remember also liking the Kalameet fight mechanically quite a bit too #but the problem with him is. he reminds me of a cat. and also he's really done nothing wrong in-game; he's just chilling #and he's like the last real dragon #it simply seems sad/rude/unprovoked to go injuring his wing and then murdering him like that :( #there's something that's... really striking and stuck in my brain about the fact that one of if not the best way to learn about the world #about the PEOPLE in the world #is mechanically via murdering them #the inherent fact of curiosity and violence being linked together in playing #you want to understand this person better? the way to do it is to extinguish their life and take their signifiers into you #.... why do I feel like this game is going to join Star Wars and Tolkien as one of my cyclical dormant Obsessions #that I lose my shit over anew every several years even if it's been a while in between #I mean. people will simply have to deal.

woohoo spiraling out of control right now (what else is new really I've been fucked up and spiraling for weeks now) and trying to figure out reasons not to delete my tumblr and discord and myself along the way

but you know. talking about myself on my blog automatically means I'm attention seeking and fishing for pity right? should just shut up and stick to the news eh, it's all I'm good for :D

anyway if you need me I'll be in the corner reliving the past, coming to terms with reality, and trying to convince myself I'm not the problem despite every indication to the contrary ✌︎︎

"Two tickets for the Barbie movie, please!"

Uwahaaaaaa I've spent so long on this that my shoulders hurt. ;^; Anyways, I've been planning on seeing the Barbie movie for a long while since it's been announced. And what better way than glamming up some handsome goofballs!? On the left is Robbie Robs, from @clownsuu ! On the right is Colt Cattlemen, from @thelone-copper !

I'll be putting more tidbits and stuff below a cut since I don't want to make this too long. I fear the images are rather large and I am not helping with blocks of text. ^^;;

Here are the references for their outfits! I already knew the perfect dress for Robbie before I even started. Though Colt's outfit was mostly just me having to struggle, Ken does not get good outfits all the time. ;n; vvvv

Robbie is based on the Barbie fashionista doll from 2009. This is the one! Colt is very, and I mean verrrry loosely, based on this Ken fashionista doll from 2010. Here he is! Not as stylish as I wanted so I dyed it pink, lol. :0]

Anyway, I thought that for the funnsies they went together late, and Robbie—stole—borrowed the dress from Lovelie! But I also like to think perhaps the two had a small spat as to who would be Ken and who would be Barbie. Robbie won.

I think that will be it! I don't know how the end this off other than have a lovely and wonderful week!!!! :D <3
