i like that theresis is portrayed as unchosen and not very special among the sarkaz. among all the heritors of the old blood and whatever he’s kind of your run of the mill sarkaz, just older than most, and was not chosen as the sarkaz king; his sister, miss theresa who haunts the whole narrative, was. his sword is described as unremarkable and those not directly at his side either question his origins or inherent worth, or believe in him deeply for his promise in a way that lets them ascend beyond their kill-or-be-killed every man for himself state. i dont know exactly what theresa’s plan was but it seemed like she had hoped a powerful ideal would have spurred great change on terra with her as a sort of messiah leading people into a future of coexistence, while theresis is obviously the more radical sort of “they will never let the sarkaz live in peace; killing and at-all-costs warfare is then necessary”. and to be honest his approach, despite the unfortunately obvious inspiration from like, holy-land-jerusalem shit being projected onto a fantasy scenario with much different elements and stakes and histories (people shouldn’t really use such heavyhanded inspiration if you are going to misrepresent the situation, even in fantasy imo), kind of makes some sense to me; all other sarkaz leaders we’ve seen only have managed to provide refuge to very few sarkaz, with most of them still not freed from being frontline fodder for war, RI included, and from facing extreme persecution. Terra is seemingly ruled by a compound of business interests, the Lateran church, and expansionist countries like Columbia or Victoria, all of which will always put the sarkaz at the very bottom of the hierarchy and to be the scapegoat in hand with the infected to be used for their greed. in real life, this justification doesn’t work for a lot of reasons, and it doesnt quite for fantasy londinium’s situation either; most the people there are just sort of living their lives and have been for generations, and returning the mass death and displacement to a generally clueless and mmmostly powerless population is wrong no matter how you cut it. but i think the situation for the sarkaz is so abjectly miserable in this fantasy world that lol theresis provides a sort of hope they’d not seen since kazdel fell.

on top of all that every single death of a sarkaz seems to add pain and grief to their collective conscious, and it’s now weighed so heavily that the mere echo of it paralyzes anyone who experiences it. it’s a building thing that’s all. also it’s just weird to argue against from the protagonist standpoint because RI is a paramilitary org that has no effective qualms with killing the most powerless and desperate to achieve its goals but Lol. imo it would have been more interesting if theresis had not been the one implied to (?) have been responsible for theresa’s death w/ driving babel to a corner as the opposing regent and that having added to his disillusionment with a peaceful approach but that would uhhh really damn RI and RI is the one thing in the game they want to portray as always virtuous and of the best intent so probably not

#arkn #into the mist spoilers #i like that the sarkaz arent a monolith though

EDIT: If you ship ebs then please know that I will slit your throat if you interact with this post. This post is not for you.

i wonder if the people who like. super clamor to go "tubbo and ranboo are uncomfortable with shipping so you shouldn't make content of their characters being romantic even if that's how their relationship is in canon" know that like. quackity is uncomfortable with shipping and therefore if we were going to apply that logic to quackity uh. bye bye to people making content of karlnapity, tnt duo, and schlatt/quackity (especially the latter because schlatt also doesnt like shipping) ig /s

like. yes respect boundaries and the absence of someone saying its okay for their character just not the cc the action taken should be to not put their character in romantic situations either but like. when they actively roleplay romance then its. fine to treat the relationships as romantic, even in fancontent

generally when i think about like. where to draw the line between creator and character (smp wise anyways) i just think of it as if the characters are the creators sonas. afterall, many have their sonas look different, or even act different than they do, they sometimes have them in relationships that either the creator is in or that they arent in. so when i think about "would the creator be okay with how im portraying their smp character" i just think of a combo of "theyve actively played into this before", "theyve given consent in the absence of playing into it on the smp", and "would it be okay to do this to someone else's sona/self insert"

so. treating the characters romantic relationships as romantic? yes, because the creators have already made a distinction between character and creator so they could play into the romance.

nsfw content? no, outside of some making jokes with friends, theres a big difference between making sexual jokes with friends and strangers making nsfw content of you/your sona (this is different from acknowledging a romantic relationship, because uh. the creators arent gonna rp sex in front of a bunch of children im sorry. the farthest theyre gonna go is the strip club and thats all jokes)

and generally unless the creator has expressed comfort with it i dont like to do things like change their bodytype or give them boobs or make sexual jokes about them/their genitals or whatever (and even then sexual jokes are like. unless a creator has given consent then this one i dont base on if theyve made sexual jokes because its one thing to do so yourself or with friends and another for strangers to do so abt you). because like. even if i was an adult id be uncomfortable with people drawing my sona with a different bodytype than mine or rating their body or calling them a slut or something. itd be gross

this got away from me but anyways. big difference between making content where the characters have relationships w/ the same tone as played by the actors and making content that goes farther than the actors take their characters/sonas

#dsmp #uhhh this is. mmmostly #beeduo #but others are mentioned and talked about #quackity #tubbo #ranboo #those r the three that have the biggest focus in this post i think #since theyre the three who are uncomfy w cc shipping but have characters that are attracted to others #esp the latter two having characters that are attracted to each other #also w queer hcs thats a bit different i suppose? #like most of the ccs play into the idea of their characters being queer even if they arent themselves #and its actually pretty common for people to have sonas/self inserts with different identities than them #so i think w queer hcs its fine bc the creators often encourage queer readings and have liked pride art before and all #but of course if someone ever states that they dont like a certain hc thats okay too (like wilbur having previously stated that #he didnt like art of his character as a woman or with boobs. i think its fine now but. yknow) #mask mews #if anyone wants clarification on any of this feel free to ask #i know this is jumbled its bc its something thats been in the back of mind for a while #if you ask if its because of something specific: nah not really. just a big mix of stuff ive noticed over the last few months #well its mostly from ppl talking about beeduo obviously thats what the romantic relationships parts are all about #but the rest are general thoughts attached to that concept plus me just wondering outloud where to draw the line of cc! vs c!

1-10?

1. Are looks important in a relationship? Hmm okay so I'm on the fence. For me, not so much? But also I know I'm not attractive to most people (if not all) and I somewhat have learned to lower my expectations on like. "This incredibly attractive person is way out of my league and probably would never date/fuck me" lmao so like Yeah

2. Are relationships ever worth it? DEFINITELY, and that's coming from someone who lost a relationship this year xwx but yes!

3. Are you a virgin? Nope <3

4. Are you in a relationship? Several! Two uh, bodies? Both are systems, and I'm dating system members from both of them. Plus some in my own system! I'm polyamorous, and it's open though ;3c so who knows what can happen~

5. Are you in love? Yes v//v

6. Are you single this year? Nope! I mean, I'm open to relationships? But not single!

7. Can you commit to one person? That's a.. good question. I did for a while, but honestly it's not for me. I would have to say no.

8. Describe your crush Ghhh which one. Do I have to choose???? Okay uh in NO PARTICULAR ORDER and using very vague pronouns so they all can't figure out who they are....

One is a major dom, sadist, but totally unavailable and uninterested, so it's not going anywhere TwT despite what I WANT.

Another is pretty stern, but generally caring. I talk to them a lot, but again, /not going anywhere/ haha.

That'll be a running theme with my crushes, they're all dead ends but they're there!

Last one, REALLY good at domming, but doesn't admit it haha. Has only really teased me a few times, but damn if they don't ring in my head on the daily. But again, not going anywhere.

With most of them it's too soon. My emotions are whack and I attach to people hard and fast. I'm slowly learning to like, take it slow, not try and jump into anything, and I'm doing good! Plus, with all of them (mmmostly), they'll still be great friends even after my crush passes!!!

9. Describe your perfect mate Okay hmmm so My first requirement is they /have/ to have a sense of humor. I need to be able to laugh with my partner. Also, basic stuff. Can't be a homophobe, transphobe, ableist, gotta be okay with kin stuff and self-shipping, all the shit I'm into basically. GOTTA be okay with me taking time alone or with friends, and me being poly. Like, non-negotiable. Looks/gender wise? no real preference! Like honestly no preference.

10. Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes I do! Do I think I've experienced it? Uhhh unsure. Up in the air. I say it happened with my current bf, Pred, but not really sure!

Thank you so much for the questions!!! ^/////^ I love talking about myself, and my crushes, can you tell?? sdfk thank you again!!!

#prettyboymlm #kit answers #aaaa i loved doing this thank you again so much!!!
