i just think it's crazy that there wasn't like. a cutscene or something that showed off raphael's cool magical girl transformation sequence cause his ascended fiend form looks sick as hell

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #raphael bg3 #raphael #bg3 spoilers #technically? i guess #anyway... the model for this form is so cool and you don't get to SEE it because there isn't a cutscene or anything #like idk imagine something like the kind of boss intro/midfight cutscenes you get in dark souls or whatever when the boss switches forms #regardless. i couldn't find many good pics of him in this form so i went and took some myself bc.. i care him.... #have you seen raphael's ascended fiend form? now you have :) #first post on this blog IS going to be raphael idgaf #my screenshots #mine

1: Magic is a Metaphor > 2: Morgana is a Lesbian > 3: Merlin is Gay > 4: Arthur is Bi

Obviously, magic is a metaphor for being gay. It is something that you're born with, that you can't change, but that you have to hide because the society around you won't accept you. Both Merlin and Morgana are always saying that they've been made to feel like a monster, an outsider, and they just want to be accepted for who they really are. And it's no coincidence that they are the most queer coded characters in the whole show.

But building off of that subtext, I think that you can read the different way that Merlin and Morgana go about trying to achieve equal rights as being an allegory for queer identity politics, where Merlin embodies this homonationalist assimilation strategy. He believes that if he stays closeted and conforms to the status quo, then eventually he will prove that sorcerers are good, moral, normal people and therefore worthy of rights. But over time, he internalises all of this shame and self-hatred and becomes increasingly obsessed with Arthur and dependent on his validation until he becomes complicit in his own oppression.

Meanwhile, Morgana represents a radical rebellion ideology. Even though she comes from a place of privilege, she quickly realises that she can't achieve meaningful change through constitutional methods and therefore resorts to violent protest. But her downfall is that she's more motivated by personal vengeance than a genuine desire for equality. So she creates a lot of infighting within the community by shunning anyone whose ideas aren't as extreme as her own, and she inadvertently confirms all of the negative stereotypes about 'angry witches' that she has been trying to fight against.

Obviously I don't think that all of this political commentary is intentional, but the basic idea of magic being gay is definitely intentional. As evidenced by this quote from the executive producer of the show, where he says very sarcastically, "some people say that (magic) is a metaphor for his sexuality, but that's just read in by them, isn't it? On no level is magic metaphorical in this show." And then Katie McGrath says, "it's funny because I don't actually think you're being sincere." And then she says directly to the audience, "Julian is lying right now."

#this is in response to @tundratoad asking to see my merlin presentation. this was actually the first thing I posted on this blog but the #slides don't mean much by themselves so I've added the accompanying commentary. which is all basically verbatim voice to text of a #tiktok I made about this presentation last year. I realise this is incredibly long in text form but I can't really be bothered editing it #and yes I could just post the actual tiktok video but it is cringe and I don't want my face on here. need that plausible deniability #so just take this for what it is i guess #merlin #bbc merlin #merlin meta #morgana pendragon #merthur #morgwen #the magic of metaphor

HELP IM TRYING TO FIND THE FIRST POST BUT I CANT FIND IT HELP

Do you very possibly mean the cover. The pinned post. The post that's pinned. The post that appears first when you open the blog. The post with the words "Here is the cover!" on it. The post with the link to "next" on it. The pinned post.

You know. The pinned post.

#ask #anon #if you are possibly talking about the chronological first post on the blog which is pinepaw's reference sheet. refer to. the pinned post #do you want to know if you can use the patfw journal style (that i didn't create in the first place but whatever) #the pinned post #or perhaps you're looking for a link to all the issues. helpful hashtags even #guess who can help you #your best friend the pinned post #also anon you're fine i'm not mad at you but since you are anonymous i have no other way to send you the link to the cover #and i get questions like these too often

[mattodore]

found out while putting together matthias's oc page that his name has the exact same etymology and meaning as theo's name...

i’m sure this is information matthias is very normal about…

#theo is in fact a gift from god so jot that down ! #river dipping #i've been throwing myself into oc stuff bc i'm not doing hot mentally which is... tbh when i do my best writing 😭 #none of this is new tho i wrote the bios and 'at a glance' intros months and months ago when i first made an oc page #which is why i do plan on rewriting them but for now i'm leaving them like this... so i guess the echthroi page is done? #obviously echthroi has more characters than this but i haven't taken new screenshots of everyone yet... #i put the gray cas bg back in my game a few days ago only to completely forget i wanted to take new headshots for the oc page 😭 #like these are just placeholders... i want the backgrounds to match the oc page. oh... or maybe i could just do transparent pics? #i think i remember vyx made a post abt how to do that... will look into that when i open the game again. rn i'm at my keyboard 🧑‍💻 #like i am writing new things! started a google doc for theo yesterday and have been writing on it here and there since then #i've already cried in there... lmaooo. i like oc pages for sure but i think a huge google doc is what i really need to keep track of things #i drop so much lore in tags on here and it's like! river write that down somewhere else or you'll lose it 😭 #like i fr have never actually written down any of the info i've shared on here. i've just had all this oc knowledge stored in my brain. #so i went through and copied over a tonnn of tags and posts i've made into google docs but i just know i'm missing things i've probably #said in the tags of their core tagged posts... 🧍 if my blog didn't have so many posts i'd have an easier time going through it but 🤷 #and on top of that i've been making a bunch of posts about theo and matthias on my main acc. which is like 🧍 well great now there's more #i'm gonna lose track of...... i fr have gottt to get into the habit of actually putting things down in theo's google doc!!! #i'm just trying to figure out the best way to format it all but i've downloaded a few templates that i've been messing with. #...anyway. if it isn't obvious i'm trying to get back to posting on here. i'm opening my inbox now with the intent to just. #sit here in my inbox until i can get myself to reply. lads... avpd is actually so torturous i'm not kidding. #i feel like i'm dying trying to get myself to interact with people sometimes even despite how badly i want!!!! to interact!!! #theo and me and our avoidant trauma responses holding hands and skipping around together

how do u draw so much so fast

well,

#the short answer is autism and ritalin. btw #the long answer is: i wake up anywhere between 730-0900. i draw. if i have work when i come back i go and i draw. #i go to bed anywhere between 0100 and 0230. i wake up the next day and i draw. #i dont draw fast and in fact i get distracted and/or procrastinate quite often #i just have 16 hour days! every day! i am awake for 16 hours! sometimes more depending on the general mood! [cursed emoji here] #and like! wtf do you even do at that point?? how do you fill a 16 hour day? an 110 hour week? an almost 6000 hr year? #i draw! i have been drawing *seriously* since grade 2! and i have *seriously* loved the persona series since like mid/late 2017! #for those of you keeping score at home; i am 19! 2017 was grade 7 for me! ive loved this series for almost a full third of my life! #[continued emotional rant cut for length] but this is my community and my arts been the way i interact with this community since #(looks at my blog archive) 2019 when i posted my first persona art! please dont look at any of that now tho lmao! #so i guess. if the long answer needs to be short too then the long answer is love!!!! its always been love!!!! AND ALSO STILL RITALIN!!!!!! #asks & requests #personal

Moon, Gladion, and Hau’s Silvally playing tug-of-war on the shores of PokePelago

#silvally #art post #these are drawings I did late 2021 when I was hoping to start the blog back up again #but seeing as how my entire old audience has left and nobody has read the plot thus far I guess there's no point #I mean Mohn is talking to Lillie for the first time ever and nobody cares about that which really saddens me #since thats one of the things I find most abhorrent about USUM's handling of the aether family #this illustration was for an event where Mohn and Gladion finally mend their relationship in a meaningful way #while giving Gladion some insight and appreciation for his father's tenacity and what he's made of Pokepelago #if you want bad enough I'll recap and post future doodles on TheGoodSpirit on tumblr if you wanna follow my work as a whole universe #in Pokemon world
