Tbh I don't really view the death scene of lucerys as “Aemond losing control” or just “Lol, Aemond can't even control his own dragon” He was very much able to the entire time he was trying to scare off luke, and feeling Luke's fear or just in self defense, Arrax blew fire into Vhagars face, which is what pissed her off. Up until then she was literally listening to Aemond, but then it took a big ass turn.

That's when Viserys' “The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion.” applies heavily.

Let me break it down for you in simple terms.

Tigers are wild animals yes, and you are raising one, it listens to your every bit and commands yes!! but when it's life is threatened it's not going to wait for your command to strike or not, it's going to defend itself regardless whether you're their owner.

Dragons are literally wild animals, targaryens/valyrians tried to domesticate them.

This is why when people bring up "Laena was literally able to command a fire that didn't burn daemon or caraxes!!” as a way to claim that Aemond and Vhagar don't have a strong bond makes me laugh. Caraxes wasn't feeling threatened, neither did he initiate any type of combat with her 😭

The mario movie went in a really interesting direction with peach. It's fresh, I like it. A lot of artists also add things to peach that make her unique in the artist's own way. But I really like your art and how you depict peach. When people think of a "strong female character" they think of "woman who fights and is strong in a more physical manner". This bias can lead to harmful conclusions such as thinking that OG peach doesn't have a personality or she isn't a strong character. Your art and the way you depict her is my favourite because it really captures who peach really is. She's kind and she always thinks of her people and the people she loves. Your art is very good at capturing her gentleness and shows how strong and how well written she really is. I love your art! Keep up the great work :))

Thank you! 🥺💖 That means a lot!

I entirely agree. The thing is, I don't have anything against a physically strong female character! But I must say I truly resent whenever combativeness is shown as this ultimate personality trait without which said character wouldn't be as great or as interesting. Especially when it's made so obvious and presented so insistently that it completely obscures everything else the character is or should be.🚶‍♀️

Not saying it's the case for movie Peach! But I must admit I'm really hoping the story will not brush aside her other (gentler) qualities. 🙇‍♀️

As I mentioned before, there exist many, many types of strength. And I personally view kindness as one of the most powerful forces of all, hence why I like giving it a special emphasis in my art. 💞

I like the whole lab stuff having refs to conversion therapy, but I hope it stays refs and like, a metaphor. I feel like going the straight up "so yeah it was all about homosexuality" would feel a bit... coarse. Clumsy. Idk, i think it works better as a metaphor.

everybodys gotta get back into the practice of using pseudonyms online... i remember the time of screen names where u never ever told anyone ur real name and that was just understood as basic internet safety. plus having a screen name is fun because sometimes it sticks so well that it becomes part of ur identity that u can use in whatever facet of ur life you choose. it rocks to pick your own name

#im living proof! i wasnt always called kiwi but now i am and it rocks #but mostly im just worried about all these kids wayyy oversharing personal info online #not to be like aaaggghh kids these days. but. #um people are sharing their full names and schools and deepest secrets with their FACE ATTACHED #i surely dont need to explain why thats scary #tiktok trends where u share stuff you would Never tell people irl.... WITH!!! YOUR FACE!!!!! IN FULL VIEW!! #WHHH.... WHY........... #Get Scared of Internet Strangers Again Please!

A House Divided: The Challenges and Struggles of Everyday Americans

Instead of feeding the hungry, spending money on war and foreign policy is prioritized. Instead of fixing the border and creating a fair immigration policy, politics is valued. Money flows to the coffers of big businesses, corporations, and foreign countries while some in Congress want to slash funding for programs that assist people in need at home. Policies to safeguard the citizens are stalled…

while i get where this comes from and it’s true to an extent, i reeeaaaally don’t like how people try to explain “trans men don’t [necessarily] have male privilege” with things like “some trans men don’t pass”.

like sure that’s the most obvious example (someone who is seen as a woman won’t have the privilege that comes with being seen a man) but you’re still acting like being a passing trans man is just a free opt-in to male privilege which is………kinda the issue.

#personal #ohh don’t be weird on my post please this is just on my mind #i’ve seen it so many times just in the last few days #like yeah a passing trans man receives more benefits than anyone who’s seen as a woman #and i’m sure most people making those arguments DO understand that it’s not that simple #but very few people engaging in these kinds of discussions in good faith would argue that someone seen as a woman has male privilege #(note: VERY FEW people engaging in GOOD FAITH) #i see people be like ‘everyone thinks all trans men pass’ and like…….WHO is thinking that who’s also gonna listen to you here #maybe it’s just my grew-up-in-a-conservative-religious-environment thing but your experience is not universal #i would also like you to consider whether ‘anyone that looks like a man has male privilege’ is consistent with your other views #1k #(oh god guys please)

Since people seem to really like my vision requirements illustrations, I figured I could elaborate on my theories/headcanons!

(EDIT: Since people keep mentioning it in the tags of the illust. post, so just to be clear, I am well aware Archons don't hand out visions personally😅 it IS however heavily implied they have a subconcious effect on who gets one, even if they have no active say. It's why no electro visions where granted during Inazumas vision hunt decree, for example)

Anemo: Purpose.

Anemo users have been unsure or hesitant about how to live their lives or what to do at some point, but all ended up finding something to strive for. Venti found purpose in rebuilding Mondstadt after Decarabian fell, to make the nation a place that the nameless bard would've loved to live in.

Jean found purpose as the Dandelion Knight, Xiao found purpose in serving Morax, Wanderer found purpose in freedom etc. Everyone has something they find fullfilment in.

Geo: Determination.

Geo users have a set path and/or ideal they live by, something they will not budge on no matter what. Zhongli is solid on his contracts, the written word is law and cannot be allowed to go broken, regardless of circumstances. His path is one of mutual agreement and fairness, to ensure everyone and everything gets their due.

Ningguang walks the path of Liyue's pillar, Noelle walks the path of self-improvement, Itto walk the path of acceptance etc. They are determined in their ways and will not bend them.

Electro: Protection.

Electro users all have something/someone they hold dear, and will do anything to ensure it's safety and longevity. Ei loved her sister more than anything else, and would've done anything to keep her safe and alive. Her actions in Inazuma was her terribly misguided way of "protecting" it from erosion, to keep the nation her sister loved so much in prosperity in her place.

Sara wants to protect her people, Keqing wants to protect Liyue's prosperity, Fischl wants to protect her imagination and fantasies etc. They hold things close to their heart and will do anything to protect it.

Dendro: Understanding.

Dendro users are seekers of knowledge and wisdom, wishing to understand the world around them and all that lives in it. Nahida wants to understand people, for wisdom means nothing when it can't be put to practice. People aren't something that can easily be comprehended by textbook knowledge, they must be observed extensively first-hand to even begin to understand.

Baizhu wants to understand the secrets of immortality, Kirara wants to understand human society, Collei wants to understand how to help others etc. They earnestly search for ways to expand their world.

Hydro: Duty.

Hydro users tend to have a strong sense of responsibility and personal principles they live by. We don't know enough about Furina to say for sure what her deal is right now, but I speculate her duty is closely connected to the Heavenly Principles, and that she views herself as Celestia's "executioner" so to speak.

Ayato's duty is to the yashiro commision, Candace's duty is to the desert-dwellers, Childe's duty is to the Tsaritsa etc. They have solid loyalties and set principles they work by.

Pyro: Passion.

Pyro users are full of love and passion for what they do, dedicating themselves whole-heartedly to their chosen field. We know very little about Murata, so it's hard to say what she's like. As the God of War I assume she has a passion for battle? Who knows.

Yoimiya is passionate about fireworks, Bennett is passionate about adventuring, Diluc is passionate about defending Mondstadt etc. They have a profound love of life and what is in it.

Cryo: Contradiction.

Cryo users are at odds with themselves, rife with inner conflicts and clashing desires. The Tsaritsa is described as an archon with no love for her people, and has been noted to have grown cold post-cataclysm. Her harbingers, most notably Childe, say otherwise, though. She's not unloving, but she is disillusioned and vengeful. Her hatred for Teyvat and Celestia is at odds with her love of her people.

Rosaria is conflicted with her lifestyle(s), Ayaka is conflicted with her status and wants, Kaeya is conflicted with his loyalties etc. They are torn by irreconcilable opposites.

#some extra things of note: the requirements can range from being very literal to more abstract in characters views #for example: hydro users like ayato & kokomi have direct duties as leaders #whereas ones like nilou & mona are more personal. some are also more about 'principles' than 'duty' (like barbara & xingqiu) #also i feel the need to clarify that dilucs passion is very specifically the ACT of defending mond #not necessarily the lasting protection of it(tho he does ofc care about that too) #venti #barbatos #zhongli #morax #rex lapis #raiden shogun #raiden ei #beelzebul #nahida #kusanali #buer #furina #focalors #murata #the tsaritsa #genshin impact #xander rambles #only tagging the archons bc i ran out of tags :P
