Back to talking about the Fantasy Fandom and the racism that tends to be part of it!
I genuinely think if Wyll were white he'd get way more attention and love. He'd have sparkle flower crown edits saying "My sweet cornball!!" "My boys got daddy issues!!". Also Warlock is a class beloved by many. And as someone who plays a warlock in bg3 having two of them fucking ROCKED, I always had spells at the ready. So really saying "buh! buh! two warlocks is just bad!" its really not, short rests and cantrips out the asshole really make it easy.
Anyway.
If Gale were black he would be fully ignored and people would, in masses, complain about how annoying he is, how useless he is, how he doesn't really fit in with the rest of the "way more interesting cast". How he's so unbearably straight because all he talks about is his ex.
Lemme keep on this though because if Shadowheart was a Black Person she would have been fucking Crucified for the way she talks about other races, other religions, and just in general the way you have to pull information out of her like pulling teeth. Also if she were a black woman she'd be reduced to "uncaring boss bitch who "dont need no man"" or "unbarable bitch who needs to be Killed"
Am I getting my point across enough?
Wyll was shafted by the game by having literally less content than the rest of the party. Wyll DOES have an interesting story. Wyll is also corny, he's funny, he's so sweet, and his conversations with Karlach are soooo great and yet it's all abandoned because he's generally viewed as "boring".
And by the way. You are allowed to like and dislike characters. But I see a lot of people side stepping the Fantasy Racism to say "but hes just boring thats why I dont like him". Like sure, if you gave Wyll an honest chance and still found him boring then that's your opinion and choice! HOWEVER!! We CANNOT ignore that he is being LEFT OUT of edits, of fan art, of character discussions. When I see posts that are the entire cast MINUS Wyll it tells me everything I need to know about you.
Also one last thing... I cannot imagine being Wyll's VA and seeing how many times you are being left out on purpose. How so few add your character to edits, or fan art. It has to be crushing to some extent, even if you expected it.

New dream: I was watching the main cast of the Hazbin Hotel from afar (them in the hotel, me on top of some building), when a giant Vox hologram appears a street or two away. Everyone is ??? while he's trying to do some power flex/Alastor diss.
Eventually, I yell at him like "hey dude, I know you're trying, but the hologram is super glitchy". And he stops and looks around at ground to try and see who's talking, and it's true that the hologram, while stable enough you can see who it is, also has constant patchy twitches going on, not the nicer looking 'this is clearly a hologram' effect, but a 'this was poorly patched together' kind of look. The word 'asshole' can vaguely be seen along the edge of Vox' tv head. "Also I think you're projecting your thoughts in text."
The hologram quickly disappears, and some city lights turn off with it. Which, being left in a slightly darker spot makes me wonder if the guy would try to come attack me or anything, so I opted to fly to some random building. And as I'm walking into a room, I realized that both doors in the room lead back into the same hallway, so I could chill and keep an eye out, since I could leave whichever way if someone entered the opposite. Didn't take long for me to see Vox closer to one of the doors, so as I was about to slip out the other one... I got distracted by a picture.
It was just a picture of the primary Hazbin cast, kinda like a family photo moment where they're all lined up and smiling for the camera.
But it was in a frame right out of Spongebob. Not in terms of a picture frame from the show, but more like if you took all the doodles of flowers from the background and just. Laid them over each other in a line. Whole thing was like it's made of colourful string, it's 2D, and I'm starting to question how it's functioning as a frame at all. Suddenly I notice many pictures in the room all have equally silly frames.
Vox comes up behind me, commenting on how stupid it looked, and why would he (Alastor) pick something like that, and I've completely forgotten that I was trying to be wary of him and just laugh and agree. He reached down to pick up a thick book and squints.
"Never before told Star Wars story? That's a big claim." He starts flipping through and it's clearly a book catalogue of some kind.
I look over and go, "Weird. Maybe it's some random short story in between some pages?" He flips through to the end, and no such luck. "Oh wait, go back a little bit." Starts flipping back. "Bit more... there, go back to that page."
On the page, in the bottom right corner, there's a book titled 'The Untold Story of Leia'. ...With some kinda faded pink clouds on the cover that has Leia looking wistfully at the corner of the book, and Han Solo in the background, just from the waist up, hands on his waist (instead of on hips), slightly faded.
Both of us know that it's 1000% some trashy romance novel and just start laughing, but that's also the point when I woke up. And then immediately started questioning why my dream would be so Vox focused when he's not even in my top 5. Well, maybe if it's strictly just Hazbin, he might squeak into 5th, the top 4 are solid even if their exact placement is not, but the 5th spot is undetermined.

idk if anyone here remembers Logan from Helgi's attempted murder but recently he was brought into an RP with a friend so he's back on my mind <3
In the RP he got nearly drowned by vampire hunter ghosts and then promptly was given a concussion bc his head slammed off the sink, and he's taking comfort in his bat form; but unfortunately hospital lights aren't very kind to tiny bat eyes...
Kisa also brought up the idea of the ghosts braiding his hair so ofc had to draw that jfdghjskdfhgkj
He also has a lovely brand on his back to mark his failure as a vampire hunter! It still occasionally hurts so he will sometimes use lidocaine on it to help! :3
He's also very good at turning up his charm to get what he wants at times, including money fjghsdjkfhsdfjk
general: @emmettnet @blackberry-bloody

"just a quick doodle" i said foolishly, only to spend far too long sketching this
anyways ummm Wardell and Dandy meet Bramwell!
Dandy is super hyped because they've grown up hearing stories of the legendary wandering Lilium Court fae who'd rejected social norms, and has always thought that they sounded so cool, and here they are right in front of them !!!! Wardell is... less than pleased, to say the least, because he quickly realized Bramwell is in fact a fae and therefore not human.
Luckily, Bramwell is well-versed in all kinds of social situations and knows how to smoothly switch gears to keep Wardell as comfortable as possible. Our beloved dog-man eventually does come around and in fact ends up begrudgingly enjoying Bramwell's company :]

You have to love how Angel was one of the few people who didn't make fun of Buffy's name.
Like, Spike did, Fred did, one demon did (that I'm forgetting which one it was, exactly. But it was wondering if Buffy was short for anything and then she said, "No. Just Buffy."), Doyle called her "Muffy" by accident once, Giles is aghast that the new Slayer's name is Buffy in one of the classic comics, Faith in "Go Ask Malice: A Slayer's Diary" misunderstands and at first thinks Buffy's name is "Summers" (and digs it) and is a bit disappointed to find out that it's "Buffy" instead.
But we never see Angel hating on Buffy's name.
