this photo of my nightstand was a beautiful still life painting in her last life methinks. a masterpiece even

#I’m not gonna lie I was gripped by an indescribable terror when I woke up 30 minutes late for class this morning and the first thing I saw #was THIS #the lifestyle of a true hashtag tumblrista… you guys wouldn’t get it #house md #I should probably rotate the box set #it’s in black and white and yet I can still feel his piercing blue eyed stare #the other sides look like this btw: foreman looking absolutely gorgeous with taub and thirteen behind him #but for some reason adams right next to him up front #then there’s cuddy chase and park (?) on one side #and wilson cameron and luther on another #I’m not entirely convinced that the person designing it has seen the show I fear #*KUTNER omg autocorrect #also the pic of wilson they used is from s2-ish #and so is the pic of cameron since she’s brunette #but chase has short hair? #and the photo of house is clearly from s8 #it’s nonsensical. amazing. reminds me of those tiktoks about how the disney princesses are always in a pink void un-linear non-place

What do you think the ferryman's big stick is made of? Like, what is that weird rock on the end doing there.

that is... a Very Good Question i hadnt thought about holy shit

it could be just regular ol' rock but now part of me sees the engravings on it and wants it to be the same kind of rock idols/demons are made out of

also you sent me on a downward spiral and i was looking up more info on the ferryman and found their concept art on the wiki and just LOOK AT THE DESIGNS AUGH

#also if you look at the non-spoon end of the oar you can see it looks kind of bone-like which is. another possibility :') #another concept art shows ferrymen in red/blue/white variants and let's just say. well. that oar could be made of Ferryman Bones #void answers #ultrakill #ferryman

i adore the white palace from the storytelling perspective (i suck at platforming, so from the gameplay perspective this place is hell 💀). there's so much going on in that place - the fact that the pale king hid the castle in the first place (i do believe that he didn't do it because of cowardice, i think that removing himself and the castle was his last desperate attempt at trying to placate the radiance), the only apparent guards at the palace being void constructs, the same void constructs all being dead near the throne room, the fact that the throne room is the so dark ghost has to take out their lantern, void particles in the air of the throne room. 

the white palace also has some of the coolest secret rooms.

the nursery. and it really sucks so much that people almost always miss this room on their first run, because this room, holy fuck. the fucking music box lullaby. the way you enter this room and hear it and you don’t understand at first why it sounds so familiar until it hits you that it’s the same song that you can always hear near your shade, only this time it’s not distorted. ghost’s shade knowing the song that was played for the hollow knight... the white lady’s figure burned into the chair next to the crib...

did she look after them, when they were brought to the castle? was she the one putting them into their crib? was she the one playing this song for the child that was hers but would never be allowed to be? how long did it take before she had to start telling herself that they were empty, despite being the one to raise them, despite being the one to play them lullabies to help them fall asleep? when did she start actually believing it? was it because facing the truth was too hard? 

the path of pain being a seal that is used to contain something powerful or preserve something important. the fact that the name ‘path of pain’ has a double meaning and might be called this way not just because it’s a literal platforming hell to go through, but also because it hides away something the pale king considered painful.

the pale king’s last thoughts when you dreamnail him... ‘no cost too great’, but then also ‘...’. maybe he didn’t quite believe his own words. maybe the cost was too great after all.

#hollow knight #the pale king #the white lady #the hollow knight #white lady: 'the vessel was tarnished by an idea instilled' #MA'AM YOU WERE THE ONE PLAYING LULLABIES FOR THEM AND SITTING NEXT TO THEM AT NIGHTS #i know many people think that pk didn't regret what he had done and never cared but. there's like literal evidence of the opposite #they still both suck but at least they're not heartless monsters i guess #i think both of them knew that the hollow knight wasn't hollow but they just. continued to convince themselves that they were #(the pale king failing miserably while the white lady went even deeper into all the lies she told herself) #because acknowledging that the vessel wasn't empty would mean acknowledging that none of them were #and here's the difference between the pale king and the white lady lies i think #he accepted it and took the guilt #(maybe the fact that he was working with void so much helped a bit - he had to have at least some thoughts about void having a mind) #while the white lady convinced herself that the vessel was 'tarnished' by their love for them #and that another vessel would be truly empty

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:

Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #lok malina #still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now #and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that #don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before #to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021 #because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing #but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence #anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he #*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character #for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop #I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like #I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her #if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet #okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself #lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer #about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long #this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh #I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out #*surprising #less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know #anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous #her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this #and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning #I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭 #I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb #okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary: #she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

Qilby is such a well written villain, like the more you think about his backstory the more your like… damn…

Because imagine, you and your siblings are essentially Demi-gods who come back to life when you dïe. You live on the same planet repeating many things until it becomes normal. You’ve done everything there is to do and know everything there is to know. The same routine, to the point where you can predict your siblings personalities and the actions of people.

Because unlike your siblings, every time you are reincarnated you still remember. You remember every time you and your loved ones have dïed. You remember everything about everyone and your planet. For thousands and thousands of years. To the point it drives you mad. Because you are the researcher. The one who writes history and the one who explores and craves knowledge. But you have lived mentally for hundred thousands and possibly even more years until everything is mind numbing. And your siblings don’t understand. They don’t remember. They dïe and live again but they forget. And you don’t.

So obviously your next course of action would be to leave your planet. To go to other worlds and explore. And the thing is Qilbi could have done that. He could have made a smaller ship to leave for him and Shinonome. Could have gotten the knowledge he craved. And so it doesn’t make sense you think. He could have left any time he wanted. He had the mind and the materials to leave In peace. So why did he start a war? To force his people to flee their home planet and destroy it in the process? To have to sacrifice the lives of so many Eliatropes? To the point that even after they reached the world of twelve and the same entire thing happened. To the point he started a war twice. Just to go explore again. Trying to destroy their second home in the process because he’s already done everything there is to do there now too. Of course the difference being the second time he was caught. But why? Why go through all the effort to bring your people who clearly don’t want to leave and just live their lives in peace.

And it’s just like Yugo said, because deep down Qilbi’s biggest fear is being alone. Because he’s already isolated enough from his knowledge and mind. He just wanted people around him. To share his accomplishments or new discoveries with others and to not feel lonely all the time. Because I think deep down he does care for the eliatrope people. And even more so for his siblings. Even if the council of 6 didn’t understand him he still loves them. He remembers when they were the only ones on their planet. Before they started governing and leading the eliatrope people and dragons. He grew up with them over and over again. He watched his civilization grow. Watched them learn with him Until they were at their highest peak. But after such a long time he eventually learnt everything there was to know. Qilbi has a thirst for knowledge. He wanted to learn more, to discover more and see beyond their world.

But he didn’t want to do it alone. And now he’s facing the punishment for his actions. In a white void with no time or space, alone, for all eternity.

#NO BUT LIKE I FEEL FOR HIM I LOVE JIM YOU DONT EVEN KNOW #his backstroy makes me so sad ;-; #also the council seemed to repsect Chibi a lot (he was also their king so it makes sense) #so I can see why on the world of 12 when Chibi picked Yugo to be his successor and not Qilbi who was much more wiser he was salty #also another thing I like is how Balthazar kind of acknowledges that the white void is an unsatisfying solution. #You feel for Qilby and you want him to be happy but no matter what he would have always ended the same way. #one of my favorite Villains honestly. #i have so many mini stories written in my head about the council. #I have a story where it’s when their on the Zinit shortly after they flee #and he comforts Yugo who I like to think is very homesick and miserable since he lost so much in the war. #for Qilbi it’s one of those situations where you want to hate someone. and you will blame all your problems on them #but deep down you care for that person. #wakfu #eliatrope #wakfu qilbi #eliatrope council #wakfu yugo #wakfu shinonome #islands of wakfu #spoilers

[local-magpie]

it really did take a fae court romance series written by an Indian woman to have all the mentioned cuisine be Indian foods for me to realize ive never actually read a fantasy setting with the kinds of food i eat and never questioned it

like why is it that the furthest ive ever strayed from ye olde white fantasy foods is that one time i let a player in a d&d game invent pizza in the feywild. why is that. literally i dont even represent the foods i eat in the settings i create

#like its all food im familiar with obviously bc im white so i know About Ye Olde White Cuisine #but i dont. eat much of it. #i dont like potatoes much and i dont like beef or pork much #or sandwiches #and i cant eat bread #and i dont really care for mediterranean flavorings #and i avoid mushrooms and cant eat eggs #so i just #largely dont eat anything you find in your standard white fantasy setting #i eat a lot of east and south asian foods tbh #so i got absurdly excited to realize a feast scene was talking about curry #and to recognize samosas even if i didnt remember the name #idk why i never questioned it like #it was just another layer of fantasy to me i guess #also to put a clearer disclaimer on this post #I Am White #my tastes just line up really well with a lot of asian flavor profiles #being nonspecific bc it really isnt specific i take a lot of inspiration from japanese indian and thai foods but i dont exactly limit myself #yelling at the void

I've been thinking a lot about my last reblog and I thought I'd make a separate post so I don't derail the other one by making it About Me, but like... yeah.

I never want to say that I, as a white person, suffer an equal amount as Native people from American Colonization (or black people, who under American slavery also had their original cultures stolen from them unfairly), because as the last post mentioned it did give me privilege that they don't have, and that shouldn't be ignored. But at the same time, I do feel that gaping hole inside me as a result of my ancestors' thoughtless desire for domination that left nothing in its wake, for the people they were subjugating, but also for their own people.

My great-grandfather is Swedish, as in his parents were from Sweden and immigrated to America before he was born. Yet they wanted him to "fit in" with the white American people in the rest of their new rural Texas town, and so they refused to teach him anything about his culture, didn't even teach him any Swedish words. So when he became an adult had kids of his own, there was nothing left to pass on, and by the time it got down to me, with my great-grandfather's parents having long since passed away, any link I might have had to my ancestors and their culture has been successfully and wholly severed. So when I met a girl last semester who was also generationally Swedish, I had nothing in common with her.

I don't want it to get confused that it's the same thing as what native people have and continue to go through, because it's not. But when I hear many of them speak about how they feel disconnected from the culture of their ancestors, it resonates with me. I have Swedish, British, Irish, Scottish, and German blood in my veins, and none of their traditions, or their food, or their cultural practices. When I learn information about these cultures, it's wholly unfamiliar to me.

I have no traditions, save for my "American" cultural holiday of Thanksgiving (which is tarnished by it's loaded history and it's relation to the cornerstone of White American "culture", colonialism) and my religious holidays of Christmas and Easter, which every year sinks deeper and deeper into the pit of American consumerism, the other cornerstone of American "culture".

Idk, it's just.... feels bad, man. I feel like I have no culture and due to that, no community. Thanks so much for that, ancestors mine. Really love your gift of "American Individualism", doesn't feel lonely or empty at all 👍🏻/sarcasm

#don//t reblo//g #word vomit #personal #I really hope what I'm saying makes sense #and that it's clear that I'm not trying to like co-op the struggles of people of color who were violently forced to assimilate #I can only speak to my own experience and no one else's #but when that last post mentioned how we are all victims of this ridiculous system of white supremacy #in some form or another and to varying degrees #idk I felt seen #and I had thoughts #the world would be better if we did away with it #for the void #might delete later

i get that when americans talk about "british english" theyre most likely talking about RP english and they, like, Dont Know about all the classist implications of mocking various uk english dialects

but it still fucking sucks to see, yknow?

#and i cant complain or point out the nuance without getting labelled another butthurt brit its so frustrating #they understand they shouldnt mock working class associated american accents so why cant they learn? #im sick of americans thinking that anything they make fun of the uk for is punching up when its not #theyll reblog posts about working class brits freezing to death in their homes this winter because of the energy price hike #and then turn around and make fun of the same people for how they speak #its disheartening #kath shouts into the void #and ultimately many of them end up sounding like the edl acting like british = white and posh :P #''anglo-indian fusion food doesnt count as uk cuisine cus it was made by indian and pakistani migrants'' theyre still british tho #and their descendants are british and this is actually a really contentious issue here so could you shut up #if you dont know what tf youre talking about please
