Okay but here me out, we have the person being sacrificed to a God, and it was never meant to happen cause no where in their time as a higher being did they ever express wanting sacrifices. Offering are fine, but another person's life? That's a new one.
So in the guilt of a life being taken for their favor, they pull some strings and essentially the human that was killed for them becomes bound to them. Living in their domain, but also away from anyone else that could hurt them.
A middle ground, kinda liminal space where time passes differently from the mortal plane. A day in this space is a year in mortal time, so the former human has to adjust to that.
But also the awkwardness that comes with having to explain their cause of death, and how they plan to make it up to them.
It's very gay because the God now was a beautiful companion that doesn't hate their guts, but is struggling with their new found immortal status, and sense of purpose.

as someone who has experienced abuse from someone with a personality disorder, it's actually incredibly easy to not dehumanize everyone with a personality disorder. i've seen people do borderline eugenic rhetoric surrounding people who have npd, aspd, bpd or other personality disorders, and then be like "I'M allowed to say these things because i'm a survivor, and if you disagree you are hurting abuse victims."
and frankly? i'm tired of it. as an abuse survivor i'm here to say that you're NOT allowed to turn into a fucking eugenicist the moment you're hurt by someone with a personality disorder.
does hurting and belittling other people who happen to have the same disorder as your abuser, people that are already suffering and that are already looked down on by society, bring you any healing? does it bring you peace?
Being hurt by someone isn't an excuse to hurt others that you feel justified in lashing out on. you're literally in control of your own actions,
you may claim to be making a safe space for abuse survivors, but i will never feel any solidarity with you, and i ESPECIALLY don't feel safe with you considering i might have a personality disorder.
you are excluding a large amount of abuse survivors in the name of "advocacy". a lot of people with personality disorders developed one or multiple due to heavy abuse. in the aim of creating a safe space, you are excluding the ones who need a safe space the most.

tbh the more setting details i notice the more i realize how the other Vees are signaled as complicit/participant in Angel's abuse.
It's not just Velvette's 'love potion' being used in an attempt to roofie him out in the world - it's a huge poster of her advertising the 'love potion' put up in Val's studio, notably paired with a Voxtech 'Trust Us' poster on another wall. When Vox is walking past posters in his first appearance, Angel Dust posters are noticeable, along with a Love Potion advertisement that features both Val and Velvette and a poster that just seems to be for the Vees in general. When Angel backs away from Val in his dressing room, a scene where he's been taken out of sight of Charlie and is alone with Val - up pops a Love Potion on his dressing table to one side of him, and a Voxtech camera trained on him on his other side. The other Vees are present, in spirit. When Vox and Val fuck off at the end of Poison (and there's YET MORE to be said about that moment) and Angel finally has his moment of genuine breakdown, there's a Voxtech camera in the foreground pointed at him. Even when he's 'off-camera' he's not safe from observation, and even when he and Val are 'alone', the other Vees are there.
also Velvette is wearing the same outfit she's wearing in the Love Potion poster as she is in the finale, I don't think that necessarily means anything but well. i noticed it

On a Genshin Poll from a while ago, you said that you could talk about Xinyan way more and it would be nice hear those thoughts! Xinyan is one of favorite Genshin characters (her design is so cool) so if you don't mind talking about her more, I'd love to hear it!
oh i didnt mean xinyan specifically in general i like talking about design (critiquing.nitpicking.praising.etc) so it really extends to most any of the characters. but you asked about xinyan so ill talk about xinyan. design wise shes very nice to look at for. her colors are all so warm with one of my favorite palettes (black/red/white). shes on the simple side compared to alot of other characters and i think its nice makes her alot easier to draw. pretty easy design to remember. for me anyway (big sleeves/braids.big collar. big hair.spikes) i dont really need to give specific reasons tbh her design is just really good. one of the pyro characters ever

alright. know what? with Secrets of the Obscure right around the corner and plenty of new Mists-related sky island settings coming with it, I'll just bite the bullet and interest-check a little something I've been turning in my head for a long, long while.
would YOU be interested in a Mists-based GW2 roleplay guild that uses a lore compliant multiverse system to allow canon, canon-adjacent, lore-breaking, and otherwise 'contradictory' muses to coexist in the same setting?
simply put: every writer's cast would be set in their own self-contained universe. as such, everyone could bring whatever muses they want with their own personal headcanons, and no one could dictate what is or isn't canon for anyone else. so long as your muses are GW2-based, you're good to go! bring your Commanders, bring your canon-divergent OCs, bring your canon muses-- and yes, even the ones that are 'supposed' to be dead. who can say what might have happened in a strange world far across the Mists, after all?
neutral hubs and in-character safety guardrails would be in place to keep all muses on a relatively even playing field regardless of their power, history, and prestige, too. play hardball if you like, but it might not end quite the way you'd hope. the main rule would be to maintain good OOC etiquette at all times: no godmodding, no metagaming, no theft, don't blend IC and OOC, and so-on.
if that sounds like something you might have interest in, please interact with this post! and if you've got questions or concerns, I'd love to hear them; feel free to send an ask or a DM, or just reply to this post!

Hey! I’m too uncomfortable to talk about mental illness in the replies of that post (bc I’m shy), but I was personally misdiagnosed with Bipolar 2. I’m not here to diagnose you obv just giving my personal experience but I also have autism. I was seeking treatment for autistic burnout and it led to a misdiagnosis. A lot of autistic people in my circles have had the same situation, so if it is SUPER out of left field for you it’s worth bringing up to your professional.
Again, not here to diagnose you or tell you what you have or don’t have, but I wish someone had told me it was possible because it was really upsetting when none of the medications worked. Just want to spare you the headache if you end up in the same boat. Good luck on your mental health journey :)
YO thank you for sending the ask because that is absolutely what I was feeling. I had gone around to all my friends and family, asking if maybe I was missing something, and the #1 response was, "No, that does sound odd. Are you sure they just didn't clock your autism correctly"
Thankfully I wasn't seeking treatment for autistic burnout, just the ADHD. Else this probably would have been more of an active problem.
Thanks for letting me know this is a pretty common misdiagnosis

majority of the fandom thinks (Rue) Ryuzaki was used before the Kira case, because of Beyond Birthday in LABB, but I truly do think Ryuzaki was created solely for the Kira case. Ohba didn't know what the LABB case was about (he literally has no idea what type of cases L solved), until he accepted Nisioisin's version of it. While I think it is a badass move to use an alias of someone who committed crimes in front of Light and I feel like L would do that to mess with him, I don't believe it to be canon lol
