Morrigan's Dream

In Chapter 29 of Hollowpox, Morrigan wakes up from a dream:

Morrigan woke the next morning with a start, her heart racing. She’d been dreaming of something strange and awful—broken glass and plumes of black smoke and a distant cry in the dark. Two button-black eyes shining at her from the shadows. A snatch of song she couldn’t quite remember. A feeling of something precious, slipping through her fingers.

There are two prevailing theories on what this dream could mean.

It's related to what happened with Morrigan's mom

It's related to the Courage Square Massacre

I think there's equal evidence for both, I'm going to tackle this from the Courage Square angle and then the mom angle, because why not. Both are very plausible.

Let's take it step by step.

Possible meaning if it's related to the Courage Square Massacre:

broken glass and plumes of black smoke and a distant cry in the dark

Whatever this is, this is clearly a scene of destruction. The broken glass bit is pretty straightforward. The black smoke could be from fires, or it could be from some Squall creations, like the Hunt of Smoke and Shadow or his "army of monsters." The distant cry is also fairly self-explanatory, and could be people crying out as they're killed, or outrage at the betrayal.

Two button-black eyes shining at her from the shadows.

Squall. That's it. Who else has been explicitly stated to have the same "button-black eyes" eyes as Morrigan?

A snatch of song she couldn’t quite remember.

This could be a Wunder-summoning song. From who, is the question– by Squall, or someone opposing him?

A feeling of something precious, slipping through her fingers.

Life and it fading (or also possibly Wunder as well, but also in the context of dying).

Possible meaning if it's related to Mog's mom:

broken glass and plumes of black smoke and a distant cry in the dark

Again, a scene of destruction, with the same possibilities as mentioned above.

Two button-black eyes shining at her from the shadows.

Still likely to be Squall's eyes because of the "shining from the shadows" bit, but I do wonder if Mog gets her eyes from her mom, or if the black eyes are a uniquely Wundersmith thing.

A snatch of song she couldn’t quite remember.

The classic trope of a mother singing a lullaby that the child barely remembers. Maybe, if Squall is here, this is connected to how he recognizes Mog's Nocturne song? (I think that's at least partially due to it sounding like his song, but that's a theory for another post.)

A feeling of something precious, slipping through her fingers.

Mog losing her mom or her mom losing Mog. Or, again, just an abstract way to talk about death/life leaving someone.

Surrounding context in Hollowpox

I think it's interesting to note when in the story this moment takes place. It takes place immediately after people are chanting at Mog once they've found out that she's a Wundersmith, and immediately before Mog wakes up with her Inferno imprint. I feel like, regardless, it's related to her being a Wundersmith.

So, perhaps it's a memory of the Courage Square Massacre, passed down from those who came before her? If this is the route, perhaps she'll uncover more to the moment as she masters more Arts.

Or perhaps it's a memory of what happened to Mog's mom? If this is the route, perhaps it's an early manifestation of Mog's powers. Additionally, though, it raises the question: was Squall there, and if so, why?

If you were a chulip character how would players kiss you?

find and present to me a working copy of Dragon Ball Z Budokai 1 for the PlayStation 2 and you can kiss my stupid ass

#ask #anon #for a more serious and personal answer. idk i imagine you'd have to see and accept me at my weirdest. otherwise NO kisses. NO love. #you cannot 100% the game if you cannot accept me for the weird fucked slop i am #i also deal 98 hearts of damage if you fuck it up. and i wont appear for 30 ingame days. need time to recover. #best hope you didnt leave me as one of the last citizens you had to kiss #you could savescum i guess to bypass the wait time #but deep down id know #the only character in chulip to have a mr resetti mechanic #another silly answer would be that youd have to find a working beta of tf2 with grenades still intact. but thats impossible im afraid. #but even then i dont think i feel that attatched to the beta. its just the researcher in me who wants to see how the viewmodels look #like we know what the dynamite packs viewmodel looks like. but not really anything else im afraid. #we have an idea of what some viewmodels wouldve included with their model #like the bear trap has an unused portion of its UV sheet that displays what wouldve likely been meant to be a chain #so i wonder how a chain wouldve been adapted with the beartraps viewmodel #like is it a cluster of them on the end of the chain and the scouts spinning it. #or is the viewmodel of one with a chain wrapped around the jaws to help its viewmodel have a more solid silhouette #the frag grenade has what i assume to be the uv portion of a pin #im just fascinated by scrapped content i think. #anyway thank you for the ask anon #i kinda wish i had a game i couldve listed with a funnier title but. dbz budokai is the one that sticks out in my mind

quick redesigns for some old ocs today, i still plan on playing around w their designs more, especially gadgets cuz im not very committed to the markings, but im happy with the general directions so <3 

bonus of their new designs vs old designs under the cut cuz the comparison is fun

while not the OLDEST designs bcuz gadget started out as a gray wolf, the left is still from years ago, and theyre characters who always had very basic designs since they werent major ocs and i just didnt mess w them much or have a lot of ideas for them. maybe drawn when i was in high school or something? regardless fun for me to see

i only realized i had old art of them moved over from my last laptop onto this one after i had drawn the new dirk design and was pleased to see that my memory of ‘i think he was plain red and yellow? or something?’ was correct

#my art #ocs #furry #anthro #dragon #kangaroo #i have no idea what specifically dirk is in med school for. i dontthink hes a doctor lol #maybe he will become one. *dragon breathing fire pic* you know how it is in the OR #anyway ive literally been trying to figure out solid designs for these characters since i mad ethem in like. high school #its been a WHILE. but anyway i like the general ideas here so #theyre pretty minor ocs but redesigning old ocs is fun so i wanted to make new versions! #plus i DO like them still #also fun fact abt them: when i made dirk as a teenager i think him n gadget also started out as teenagers so dirk only had a binder #congrats on your top surgery king

beatstuck doodles bc I had a bunch of thoughts but was too lazy to write them out; so I drew them instead. hehe

#beatstuck #blood #jsab #just shapes and beats #jsab au #homestuck au #i still dont have a concrete idea for what i wanna do with Cirk just yet.... the only solid thing is that they r. a skilled fighter #ALSO i if its not obvious umum the second image was like. demonstrating an idea i had #pink blood blue blood.. so cool... #ALSO IRIS IS A VIB RIBBO N FAN THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION #i think theres a lot of tension between Cirk and Iris at first but eventually they calm down and become better friends. hehe

i haven't forgotten abt that poll i made at the start of summer, i've just been thinking how to properly introduce things

#my art lol #fukase vocaloid #i'll just keep it at that i think. this is just a silly doodle anyways #technically ig the fukases here all cover the existing fukases in those poll options? 3 special ones and normal fukase covers the 2 generic #talking abt my shits is always so harddd b/c they have different stories but i never give them like different names or anything 😭😭 #so its hard to distinguish them apart (in text mostly) b/c they're all just fukase. hakjshkjg 😭😭 #ok to be fair i never have any idea what % robot vs. human my guys are in my hcs (unless in a story i specify they're 100% human or smthn) #but at least in comparison to most other fukases this one's particularly robotic. he's still part human but we'll get to that #i should prob revise that plot a lil bit b/c i dont know if its that goood but again we'll see we'll see. #the others have their storylines p solid for the most part tho #im talking crazy to myself nobody has like any idea what im referring to. hakjhjhdjk this is why its so hard to talk abt this 😭😭

Portrait of wifey <3

#guys pls tell me. what are your impressions of her(if any!!) :) im curious :D #its weird i felt like she used to be the easiest for me to draw #i think now im concerned too much abt making her look handsome 😭 #if that makes sense? i used to just draw her as a quick comfort character #but now yeah idk. too concerned abt portraying her in a specific way ig #but still love her!!!!! #ive not drawn teeth in a while so thay was fun. i missed that phase of my interests lmao #i love how her hair keeps getting longer ever since i created her 😭 #probably just bcs i keep putting off cutting my hair so she is influenced #ah man I said i wanted to draw smrh every wknd but i think the picrew wiped me out 😭 #ive had ideas but nothing solid that really compels me yknow?? #catie.art. #Rüß

Yay !! Im gonna talk about it with my friend today !! I think this is gonna help me not go completely insane !! I love love <3

#yeah i still feel super shitty #and its gotten like progressively worse too ? #i cant eat normally. i just chew ? #and im scared to go to sleep bc that means i have to lay in the silence #so i havent been sleeping well ? (at least that means no nightmares lol) #and the shivering and head jerks havent stopped either #ive been trying to pack and do all the practical stuff im supposed to #but i end up having to stop bc? idk? i either start breathing weird or zoning out #look im not an idiot. if this was an objective psych case file id have no problem coming up with a solid idea of whats wrong #unfortunately tho im a real person and i cant exactly be objective about myselt #i also cant focus for long enough to actually properly THINK about it ya know? #but honestly this is so dramatic for no reason lmao sorry for the melodrama #i just feel so awful i need to complain a little 🙏 #but talking to a friend will for sure help ! 🙏💗💗💗 #yay friendship !

[godsfavoritescientist]

I have! It's been a while, but I remember it being good. I liked how the stuff with Liam makes the line "why would someone sacrifice everything for their dumb sibling" hit hard, and I remember the vindictive fury of the scene where he destroys his dimension being very well written.

For whatever reason, it didn't make me interested in flatland as a concept. I think I was a little bit lost when it came to what the world itself was like, apart from how shitty the society was.

My takeaway from the fic was "that was a really well done backstory fic!" but not "ohhh man I am Changed Forever", which might partly be because I was not invested in Bill as a character at the time.

Also, this is just a matter of personal taste, but I didn't like the idea of Bill getting his powers from a time wish. It's a clever use of pre-existing concepts in the show, I just didn't find it all that interesting of a concept.

#godrambles #i must confess. I still dont find the henchmaniacs interesting either. sorry </3 #it was a very good fic #it just didn't happen to resonate on the same level as other fics for me #its definitely not close to my headcanon for bills origins #I dont have a solid idea of what his origins are but every time I read a bill origins fic there are things that click and things that dont #I think part of bills backstory should be things a human mind is incapable of comprehending so that makes it tricky #cant exactly write an incomprehensible fic. the whole point is being able to read it #shoutout to pengychans fics for introducing me to the concept of billford iirc #where would i be without them

[arcaneyouth]

honestly its so disheartening to regularly see shit like kinning or shifting or whatever theyre calling that get so shit on by most people, or to have the meaning change to something more tame and palatable for most people. i believe in that shit in a spiritual/religious kind of way. but unfortunately other people like me can be real fucking annoying about it in an easy to make fun of way so i probably shouldnt express that shit unless i want to be made fun of as well.

like even if they're being cringe about it and even if theyre not doing it for spiritual reasons like me maybe dont? make fun of them? for being cringe? and going "stupid idiot doesn't know its not real"?? yeah i dont think these people should be insisting this is scientific when its very much not but also like hey leave us alone maybe

#negative #i consider myself agnostic but ive also have some very solid thoughts about how this universe and others work #and shit like kinning and shifting fall in place with those ideas and they make me so happy #no i dont think theres scientific evidence for it and i dont blame anyone who doesnt believe it #but its my personal beliefs?? and everyone who publicly shares those beliefs with me gets made fun of and its so 😰 #i feel like ive had to shove this shit down especially as im getting older and no longer have the excuse of being a cringey teen #but i do still wholeheartedly believe in this kind of thing. and it kinda just makes me sad im never gonna be able to really express that #because the vocal few being kinda annoying about it have given this shit a bad rep #also the shift in the meaning of kinning is so so sad to me because people talk about kinning and i go !! oh they are like me! #but no they are not. it is a list of characters they project onto and not #yknow. #so many people ive told about my beliefs and experiences have insisted on finding rational solutions to why im like this #including insisting i have DID (i dont) or some kind of psychosis (i dont.) or otherwise putting a label i never wanted on me #i dont believe my experiences have scientific explanation. its fucking spiritual to me. can we not leave it at that. #wow did not realize how upset i am about this until typing this all out #anyways no follow up questions unless you are being polite please goodbye

[moe-broey]

Also Moe gender notes/lore:

It has a more masc leaning identity, and typically uses masculine language/titles but more like. For fun. Like the way you say "SIR." at a misbehaving cat. It will also call itself a man ESP if it's funny. Also I've been toying w it liking the terms "boyfriend"/"boytoy" for itself, which is a very funny combination w Alfonse (in my mind) preferring the term "partner" (broadly, but also esp for himself). So like, Moe calling Alfonse "My partner" and Alfonse, On Occasion, ESPP if the situation calls for it, calling Moe "My boyfriend" (still, partner is the preferred term across the board for both of them -- but if we need to clear up the air...)

BUT ALSO! There are at least, so far, Two cases where Moe prefers feminine titles/language!

One was initially a misunderstanding but it ultimately ended up preferring the term anyway, with "cleric" (one comic idea is to resolve this castle dialogue):

LIBRA.... I WOULD NEVER .......... (Moe didn't realize "cleric" was a femme-gendered term, and had already been using it for itself for a while at this point.)

The other title is "seamstress"! That one is a case of Knowing the genderedness of it, but deciding to use it in a nonconforming way (which is eventually how "cleric" ended up). To me Moe uses these in the same vein as a drag queen, if that makes sense!

#moe tag #trying to explore gender nonconformity when the chara in question IS genderqueer/nb is VERY fun and interesting! #like esppp as a binary gnc transguy. it's been so interesting to try and adapt this in a way that still feels true to moe and its identity #and ofc there is the baphomet inspo which is a balance of all things... esp 'male and female' #which. has also been interesting to adapt. bc no matter what i do have a solid boundary i can't cross #when it comes to a chara that no matter how funky i get w it. is still ultimately a reflection of myself #i have another silly comic idea too of moe further explaining its identity where it calls itself a man for a joke #to be met w 'i thought you were genderless? neither?' where it explains the title thing essentially #and is asked (in good faith) 'are you ever a woman?' and it says #'under no circumstances am i ever a woman.' (tone/expression shift) 'i believe in their beliefs though!' #it's just been such a cool avenue to explore things i typically wouldn't (if i were only thinking of myself) #and the separation IS so important. bc it helps so much. in exploring things i typically Couldn't. #but also i do still have those hard boundaries. and that's interesting too #i love you moe..... blorbo from my mind.............

[beauceronn]

Carolina Dogs are so interesting. The person who had the one I posted also has another (altered female). I learnt so much about how they're working to preserve the breed and the history of the breed, what they look for for breeding stock and what they aim for. That dog had an incredible temperament (so sweet, so polite) and was just beautiful to watch. Very interesting stuff.

#my friend was judging and she walks by and looks at me with the carolina dog and says 'dont be adding more dogs to your list' #like 😭 i know i know i dont want a carolina dog #but it makes me think about how little we are doing to preserve our breed #it makes me sad #a lot of the beauces i see are not... what they should be. #theyre becoming so popular that its becoming a like... oh god our breed is going to be ruined #it doesn't help that a lot of people /in the breed/ dont know the breeds history or have a solid idea of what theyre breeding for #or theyre breeding for faults #ugh. it depresses me #i dont know if i want to breed beauces.. but the more i learn the more i realise i want to breed in the future #there are so many breeds that are struggling. so many breeds where the fanciers are 'ageing out' #that still haunts me. 'my last litter'. 'my last collie'. #anyway. this to say. if youre interested in a rare breed. heres your sign to reach out lol

i did it 🥹

#room no 9 #michi yaps #i got all the cgs and endings and unlocked the staff comments which was a fun reward on its own #for some reason the ‘voice collection’ section of the gallery is empty #and the scenario completion is 99% #i did go back for a bit and caught a few lines i missed #tbh whatever unread line is left is probably so miniscule but my completionist ass wants to find it so badly lololol #but anyway that last ending was definitely the good ending lmaooo i’m glad i ended my experience of the game on that happy note #after watching the boys go through so much in the other endings yikes #overall i really enjoyed this game! i’m a fan of both bl and psychological thriller so this was right up my alley #there was potential for so much more tbh #but i get it’s a small game i think the director called it ‘mid scale’ in the staff comments #so it’s still a pretty solid story for what it is #like at the same time i appreciate it for being short and sweet and straight to the point #i had a lot of fun #and i love seiji and daichi so much bro like u have no idea #i miss them already

[find-me-in-hell]

was talking to some other people, and it seems the general consensus is that doctor who canon is a mess and constantly contradicts itself and its hard to factor in the extended universe constantly so if you wanna ignore a piece of 'canon' go ahead no one can stop you, if you wanna acknowledge every piece of canon and see certain parts as parallel or alterate universes go for it. literally no one can stop you and tbh i dont think anyone cares

#dr who #doctor who #the doctor #dr who extended universe #the E.U is like the comics #audios. novels etc #games too #you could have different idea of canon depending on ur favourite way to consume dr who #like overall its really complex and theres no solid outline #so just have fun with it all #there are events that absolutely did happen in who #and events that are confirmed in the e.u but not in the tv series #its part of the fun of dr who i think #b4 anyone says anything yeah i know about the faction paradox or whatever #still not sure what it is tho
