I think we overlooked the fucked up polycule dynamic potential of team bolas x the dog that hunts them
they gave him a house. he paid rent. he hunted them, picked them off one by one, but when they sought to hunt him he ran. the tormented and the tormented. the hunters and the hunter. them huddling around a fire, burning themselves as he lurks in the dark to devour any that stray too far from the light. when they gather their rocks and throw them as one he flees, tail between his legs as he hunts for his own safety
is there not familiarity in that? is there not love in the violence? let me kill you, i will return your greatest treasure. let me kill you, you’ve already destroyed me and mine. there is loneliness to the dark and hate in the bloodshed. what is hate if not the other side of love. what if obsession if not love driven too far. all of them bathed in the blood of the others, baptized by sin after sin after sin. mothers carry their litters in their mouths- when do the teeth at your throat start to feel gentle? bad once said about cellbit, “it was like throwing a ball, and saying fetch.” that went wrong for him. cellbit once said about bad, “you’ve gone soft.” that went wrong for him, too.
do you remember the slime kills? slime was bad’s first blood, his first taste of oncoming violence. bad was slime’s last kill, an end to the desperation that was sparked with the first base raid. do you remember that first day? bad on the water, slime on the shore, calling him in like a siren. ‘look at me, look how killable i am’ says the bait, desperately trying to build a trap even as the prey fears the untied-noose wrapping around its throat. do you remember the tension? do you remember how the sun punished them both?
‘look at me, look how killable i am,’ says the poisoned frog to the wolf. the bird to the dog. do you remember the kindness? the killing and the killing and the killing, and the laughter. the killing the killing the killing, and the earnest offer to help? remember how jaiden fed herself to the dog. remember how the dog listened. ‘where is your stuff? i’ll take you to your body.’ thousands of blocks away. then more blood, no screaming, just laughter.
do you see? do you see? they built him a dog house, and he paid them rent. hunters snd hunters. he killed them to bring back their children and he failed and they brought back his instead. how can he ever repay that? their blood coats him. his blood coats them. all of them animals. all of them desperate. remember the familiarity of teeth and the taste of your own death. when its all said and done what will they miss the most- being the hunters? or being the hunted?
and then they all make out and take turns getting beaten to death by jaiden. shes part of the group murder but not the romance of death. instead she gets to go to the club (the Spawn Rave)

[ID: A digital drawing done in pink pencil of Galadriel and Orion from The Scholomance book series. They’re cuddling, and Orion has his arms and one leg wrapped around El, the other dangling next to her legs. Orion has his eyes closed and is grinning. He wears a hoodie and baggy cargo pants, and his socks are falling off at the toes. El has an arm wrapped around Orion, and she looks down at him in a subdued loving way, with a slight smile. She’s wearing a t-shirt and baggy sweatpants. A flurry of hearts is above Orion’s head, and a single heart in a word bubble is next to El’s head. /end ID]
I just really like cuddles :3

Hi, I wanted to ask if I could use the poses in the photos in your cosplay post for a drawing reference (…full disclosure I had initially saved them to my camera roll to remind me, and then one of those “the last fictional character in your camera roll is now your roommate” posts came up and suddenly Beleg and Turin were my roommates in this alternate universe. I feel like my own hubris in not asking first betrayed me.)
Oh absolutely you may! I’m flattered that you want to draw it, haha. Good luck with those roommates though. Try not to die.
(For the record, I’m currently fine with people taking inspiration and/or reference from any art or photos of mine on this blog, since I haven’t had any bad experiences with that so far. And I’d love to see the results if you're willing to tag me!)

Been thinking abt thesa/thancred and how long it took her to take her feelings seriously. Sometimes, you repress a part of your heart for so long that when it's reawaken, it feels like a dream. Or a nightmare even. And it's painful at first and just genuinely seems morally wrong for someone, so duty bounded, but then.... once he takes a step forward, it flows so easily. It's like he's giving her his hand and saying, "I'll teach you how to deal with it," and if it was spoken by any other soul in any other tone, she'd take offense. If it was anyone else but him. And when they are together at first, it just entirely feels like puppy love. And for some reason she knows that past-thesa would scoff at this and how childish it looks - how she acts like a teenager in love sometimes when they are alone - and she loves it because Thancred doesn't think that. And slowly, she isn't thinking that anymore. She's learning with him, you know.

so what happens in the eaglnheart and gerad run. Also what's the gerad halcarol dynamic
hiiii lolipop, havent seen u in my askbox in a bit!! welcome back ^_^
going to put this under a cut bc it got kind of long and also i decided to add panels so it got even longer teehee
englehart's run is abysmal because he wrote a lot of his own problems issues into the story (its very oversexualized) and he's the one that introduced that gross fucking arisia plotline may he rot in hell for that.
Gerards run has hal as like the precursor to geoff's hal, where he's very. he's written to be the leader type where he hates taking orders from people and he wants to do his own thing and shit which is fine, but like hal is notoriously a yes-man. i love him to bits but he would fall for an mlm scam. theres textual evidence even
so, since that underlying yes-man tendency isn't addressed his character "growth" into a leader type role feels very hollow and forced.
he's also written as a stereotypical man's man, where he's you know what i think he's just the writers self insert probably. like they keep bringing up how many chicks he pulls and how he's great with women and then he keeps being misogynistic and its like hold on. where did the hal that got mad at carol's dad for being a capital m misogynist go. that's not hal.
I think that gerad's run has some great plot ideas, like with mosaic and entropy, but the writing doesn't hold up and his hal characterization is shit. also they keep using that nickname for tom and it makes me mad
the gerard halcarol dynamic strips carol of all her agency as a cold motherfucker. i love carol for who she is; a ruthless bitch! and the carol in gerards run is very. hold on let me find the panel that made me mad.
this is so. carol would never say this shit with a straight face. i can really only see carol saying this in a mean way like if she was actively trying to put hal down. carol is ruthless and capable and wayyyy more of a leader than hal is. i realize i keep saying that carol is mean but i mean this in like the best way possible she IS mean it's part of her character and it's part of what allows her to be such a successful businesswoman. she is cold and bitter and she uses that as a self-defense mechanism she is not the type of person to get sad and angsty about sitting around waiting to see if hal is okay Gerard.
i want to talk about the halcarol dynamic while im here. hal and carol work best as best friends. they are deeply deeply important to each other and i think their romantic relationship is important to both of their character growths but part of that growth is them breaking up and staying just friends.
i think that hal and carol see something in each other that they both desperately want to have for themselves. for carol i think she wants the freedom that hal has to just fuck off into the sunset and have adventures without the pressures that come from her dad and from running ferris. for hal, well. 🏳️⚧️. i think that hal truly does love carol but he's also in love with the idea of carol, the strong and collected buissness woman.
I think that hal and carol's relationship is them trying to fill that void inside of themselves. but their romantic relationship is doomed to fail because you can't ever truly love your reflection in the mirror.
