“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special…

reading the dnd comics that build up to the release of bg3 (the legends of baldur's gate idw series) and in the one about the fall of elturel into avernus there is a fucking awesome crew of hell-pirates riding mechanical land-boats headed by a one-eyed mind flayer and it's the single coolest thing ive ever seen

#bg3 #<- it isn't but it's adjacent and i dont rly have a generalized dnd tag #checked the forgotten realms wiki and this is the only piece of media that gideos (the mind flayer) or the bloodrovers more generally #have appeared in. SAD #anyways i think karlach+wyll+tav in the goes-to-avernus ending should absolutely encounter these glorious freaks

Something I appreciate about Hortus de Escapismo is how it portrays the Laterans and non-Laterans, especially in contrast to each other. Guide Ahead already gave us the angel ethnostate vs multi-racial heretics, which made for a pretty effective if blatant commentary on Laterano. And while it might seem Hortus is kind of repeating the same formula, I think it's got something subtler going on with interesting implications.

On one side we have the abbey's inhabitants: sankta, sarkaz and all other races--hell, even a seaborn for a moment. Are there cracks here and there? Of course, that's a whole plot point. But it can't be denied there is genuine camaraderie and self-sacrifice going on between these people who are simply trying to survive together (which is what makes those cracks all the more volatile).

Contrast this with the Laterans, who are dysfunctional as hell. Lemuen, Oren, Richele, and Spuria; I can't say I fully parsed everything happening between them on a moment-to-moment basis, but it was overall apparent that none of these people trust each other. Even though they're friends and classmates and colleagues, even though they're working for the good of the same state, even though they're sankta who can literally read each other's minds. There's just this constant mess of cahoots and conspiracy and treachery and bitter friction, and it takes the threat of an Innsmouth-Jonestown crossover event to get them to finally work together.

I thought it was a nice way to show more of Laterano's flaws. It's one of their core themes that they aren't as great as they say they are, but you'd think they would, at the least, have blessed harmony thanks to their literal hivemind. But evidently that isn't true either. And again, these are agents at the highest levels of the government. If they're this dysfunctional, what does that say for Laterano as a whole?

Which leads me into thinking about what the future of Laterano might have in store. I've seen some folks point out how these events have these greatly compelling premises that don't actually resolve any of the issues they bring up. Laterano only remains Laterano. And this is true! But I think it's intentional, setting up a slow burn of a regional conflict. The Lateran state is holding together, the status quo remains unchanged, the Law is content. But for how much longer? Guiding Ahead introduced us to the divide in Laterano on a broad level, the state vs heretics. Hortus de Escapismo shows the cracks within the state, narrowing in on individuals who nominally should be on the same side but aren't. The next logical narrative step would be seeing the state finally cracking apart from whatever looming danger the Law sainted Federico to deal with.

Some sort of schism, perhaps; that seems like the sort of existential threat that would directly threaten the Law's directive of preserving the Sankta. Law's awareness of it would also imply it's an internal threat, something festering in the hearts and minds of Sankta and thus one It's able to sense (at least that's what makes sense to me. We don't actually know how the Law works, so it could very well just have random magic prophetic abilities). And especially with the constant background pressure of trying to legitimize their Summit of Nations, what better way to drive that issue to the forefront by throwing Laterano into utter political chaos?

#arknights #a genuine schism would probably result in. so many fallen huh. would be interesting seeing laterano's community struggle with that #maybe the threat has something to do with the iberian church and seaborn? considering those were elements that appeared in hortus #and they were discussing a potential reconciliation between laterano and iberia too. reads like setup to me. #reaching out to iberia would be ripe for a widescale collision of ideologies that could lead to another schism #and for iberia it'd also be thematically relevant given their other estranged relationship w another glorious near mythical country #also i want to see the sankta face the seaborn. they're not so different if you think about it. #precursor tech hiveminds dedicated to the group's survival. one is hyperadaptive and ever spreading the other is conservative and insular. #so the ideological threat of a schism and the physical threat of the seaborn #...or maybe also the ideological threat of seaborn? they have their own church too after all #PAPAL SCHISM ARKNIGHTS EDITION. 3 POPES 3 POPES. LATERANO IBERIA WE MANY #oh uh and again a schism would result in so many fallen which could tie in the whole. yknow. thousand year race war w the sarkaz. #that's kinda super duper really important for laterano's themes #sorry i'm just writing a whole other post in these tags :P

I don’t know what I feel, but loki creating and holding together Yggdrasil after centuries of time-looping and failure and loneliness was not on my bingo card, and it did make me smile sadly in a “yeah wow I guess this could be it” way. Idk cheers I guess

#spoilers #loki spoilers #loki #fwoof idk #I just don’t know #the way they hedged on the ships was pretty funny. and by funny I mean annoying. but oh well. #so loki is the protector of the multiverse and all possibilities? does he see all his missed lives? is he ao3?? #the glorious burden and throne #all alone exactly like he didn’t want #and sylvie gets to live a life he’d have liked? #what a strange show really #lots to digest #sorry this isn’t coherent or insightful #likes appeared after my tag rant so they’re not endorsing this nonsense per se lol #also I was drunk when I wrote this otherwise I probably wouldn’t have posted a reaction immediately lol

Shadow Puppets AU - My style/Headcanons

Meme by @ TAGASAING on twitter

The Collector "Astrophel"

His AU look is based on one of his concept art, because it is just more visually cohesive to his shadow form and Bragi and I both think its more pleasing. I tend to color his hair as more of a pale purple than straight white because I like to. I always draw his eye shines as little star bursts, too, not because it makes any sense, but because stylistically its super cute and gives him a slightly more ethereal/alien look. Also I've mostly done my fake screencaps in the Gravesfield era when Philip is just a kid and Astrophel is still a little more on the innocent side, but later in the AU his psychopathy starts to show and the cutesiness makes for a nice juxtaposition to his murderous side.

Philip Wittebane "Belos"

We really only have one thread that takes place during the canon time-line, which actually stars Hunter more than Belos, so I haven't done a lot of art with his AU appearance, but its really just a blend of his season 1 and season 2 appearances with this cowless look from S2E1

Because damn, Sir, that is a look.

Otherwise the main difference in his appearance is just the presence of the Stella-Luna Amulet. Not pictured here, but also Belos basically never goes anywhere without his staff because he's an Old Man™ who needs his walking stick so he doesn't fall over after five steps

#shadow puppets au #toh collector #philip wittebane #emperor belos #Drawing meme #Emperor's reign #They tried to hide his glorious mane from me but I will not stand for it #my au my rules #like okay he still has the cowl for if he has to make a public appearance but he absolutely just keeps his hair free any other time

Did I ever tell y'all the funniest decision I've ever made with tag filtering

#I did this and a LOT of others to get the reposted meme spam off my dash #It has to be Approved By the Council (my mutuals) before it can appear before my dash #But tumblr's blaring a siren and waving a sign that says “WARNING: lol :)” #Rambles #im never changing this it's glorious #ARE YOU READY TO BE MILDLY AMUSED FOR 10 SECONDSISH??

I miss the days where I could peruse the League of Legends tag on this website without Arcane and boy bands. I'm too gay to care about Heartsteel, and I'm sick of seeing the same 5 characters. My special interest has been inaccessible on the hellsite for 2 years and it makes me sadddd

#if people would just. not crosstag arcane with league of legends that would be so great #caitvi used to be my otp. i have been over-exposed. now i want to hurl my phone at the wall when they appear #i miss glorious evolution viktor #league of legends #ranting

Sometimes I wonder what to do with the old copies of the shitty wizard books I have from, you know, the before times

Today I got the idea to dismantle them and turn them into a trans pride themed My Immortal diorama type of thing

#except i want to let luna be the pastel goth icon she deserves to be #my immortal au fanfic where enoby and luna have a weird vaguely homoerotic rival-friendship when #like i've always kind of wanted to do some kind of tribute to the fact that back when shit first started getting...bad #when the first signs were appearing #....i kind of realized that by that time i had LONG stopped caring about the canon #and all my interest was in the wild world of fandom and fanon #i can think of no better art project to recycle those things #than a tribute to the most famous fanfic #WITH ELEMENTS OF MY OWN POTENTIAL FANFIC THEREOF #personal #tag later #harry potter cw #side note: i don't really care about the fandom either anymore #.........not least of all because of who's left there >_> #but i still stan my immortal #best fucking thing to come out of that fucking series #one of very few things of broad value tbh #and all of those few things come from the fandom #this seems like the perfect project into which to channel the blend of love for that fanfic and fiery spite #i will destroy the rotten foundation upon which this world is built #and rebuild something glorious out of its rubble
