interactions between Coriolanus & Maude that didn't make it into the movie: 🧵

Coriolanus giving all the sweets to Maude Ivory:

Maude Ivory recognizing Coryo:

Maude Ivory guiding Coriolanus towards Lucy Gray's meadow:

Coriolanus & Maude Ivory talking about Lucy Gray:

Coriolanus bringing sweets again to Maude Ivory since he realized how much she loves them:

Less of an actual interaction but Coriolanus chosing to remain with Maude Ivory & Lucy Gray rather than go swimming:

Maude Ivory telling Coriolanus his name reminded her of a Covey one:

Coriolanus being asked about the ballad of Lucy Gray (which was sang by maude ivory):

_

And most importantly: Maude Ivory remembers every song, and Lucy Gray legacy is continued through her voice

#coriolanus snow #lucy gray baird #snowbaird #maude ivory #that's their metaphorically eldest daughter! 🥹 #tbosas #tbosas book #the way Coryo & Lucy Gray are so family oriented coded will never not make my heart clench #the last one is because I hate how they wrote out maude ivory from the movie and no. lg isn't related to katniss. neither is mi #but her songs are carried on by her and that's the message. How the memory of someone prevails through their work and how that's carried on

In my rereads of Memoirs of a Geisha (Id read it first when I was a teenager, before i knew the author had stolen the life story of Mineko Iwasaki) I'd realized just how misogynist the story is. One of the glowing reviews of the book is that the author was praised for writing such an "accurate" and sensitive portrayal of a female character, but then all her relationships with women are portrayed as catty & negative while all her most positive relationships are with men that she looks on fondly, even when theyve been nothing but shitty to her. All the women in her life are either abusive bullies from the start, or good ones that turn sour where they betray her in some way, & her whole sphere of women is just catty & superficial & mean.

& Golden even wrote in negative relationships where in Iwasaki's life (the source that he was stealing from), they were POSITIVE ones for her

#her sister abandons her & never looks for her #her Geisha family are abusive & only care how much money she brings in #Pumpkin has every reason to hate her but is portrayed as mean & ends up betraying her #Golden also does this really weird thing where he says that Sayuri was essentially 'sold' into slavery (being a Geisha) by her father #but thats clearly not what happened. dude her father was old & instead of leaving his daughter orphaned he set her up for life #he essentially sent her to college with free rent & a job garuanteed if she did well & then a wealthy patron to pay her #orientalism #i reread it to compare to Mineko Iwasaki's memoir & its just SO obvious that he stole from her

my mom, for the last 10 years, has been obsessed with the folk pop band formed by the sons of our local pediatricians, but gaur-an-teed they earn similar money to me and she doesn't realize that they're probably costing off their parents's wealth in the way she accused me of doing

#you appreciate the art you appreciate #I shoulda become a touring musician rather than an anime-influenced visual artists lol #I now wonder what my parents expected after seeing my thesis exhibition #my exhibition might I add that they were resistant to come for because it was a week before my graduation ceremony #despite traveling insane distances on a monthly basis on my middle sister's travel ball schedule #in fact I remember trying to impress upon my mom that I needed her to be at my freshman orientation #but she had to coach my sister's travel ball that weekend #and then my parents frequently mentioned the breakdown I had that week despite not getting what I said I needed #did I mention that I was starting college while still recovering from hand surgery? #wow I'm so glad to be dumping this in the notes of a tumblr post hahahaha #whatever I've put up with from my parents nothing is as painful as how useless they were my first week of college #*insert obliagtory 'I was their burner kid; they didn't know any better' oldest daughter apologia here* #xoxoxo

I think demons don't even need to have sex to reproduce. Some or probably many choose to reproduce that way, but the intent and love from inhumane entities could result in an offspring.

#for an example: my oc Alundra was born from a fallen star that landed in the underworld #where one of the psychonaught kings (Graves Burner) adopted her. as an entity born from death #he can't have offspring of his own without outside help #(shout out to the cute au where Ael. a nature entity. gives his two death oriented lovers the ability to produce a child) #dee and graves out here finding daughters and scooping them up

Sek, T’Nia & their precious angel daughter: T’Meni

#Sek is the only sibling who would have like #an entire wall of family photos in his home #the rest of his siblings are like =_= 'why' and he's like 'Maybe if you VISITED more often...' <- about to start nagging #Varith secretly has a lot of family nick nacks and mementos...he just doesn't display them prominently #Sek also moved back in with T'Pel after Voyager went missing bc he wanted to be there for her...he's very family oriented #oh! They have two more children living with them (Sek & T'Nia) who they call their 'wards' but treat as daughters #their names are sveyko and s'veyk (twins)....perhaps they were not yet around when this photo was taken bc Sek would have 1000% insisted #they be in it if they were #star trek ocs #[REDACTED] family shenanigans #Sek #T'Meni #T'Nia #bea art tag #star trek art #Sek does the MOST with his children's hair every day without fail

i think modern au dunmeshi characters WOULD meet but! not as coworkers i dont think theyd have jobs that meet up well . the main 4 would know each other from pflag

#beeep #laios is there because 1. making friends hard. 2. making friends extra hard as (probably field biologist?) job in Wilderness #3. hes a friends of lesbians (sister and sister in law). in fact all of his friends (his sister and sil) are lesbians #chilchucks daughter is also lesbians #marcille would be an Academic tee em and might lead the pflag meetings initially? #senshi is more difficult to imagine going to one bc i dont have an orientation hc for him and a lot of that is because i dont think hed car #he doesnt seem to have a lot of lasting connections and he seems really okay with that #but im thinking maybe he got invited as a friend of someone cus he had friends in the orc tribe. so yah :3

POV you just pulled my D&D character in a gacha game

Whisper, the air Genasi Sorceror! originally from an older game, I decided to bring her back for our Strixhaven campaign. she's really a perfect fit for the setting.

(if you can tell what actual gacha card i used for pose reference, no you can't)

#dungeons and dragons #d&d #d&d art #d&d character #dnd #genasi #strixhaven #my art #my ocs #strixhaven is also a MTG set and she's gonna end up at the blue/red school #imagine being a blue/red player. shameful. #but blue/red is also the theater kid school and unfortunately that is exactly whisper #also it's taken us like 3 sessions to get through orientation at the school cuz we keep wanting to RP LMAO #DM is like i promise there's combat in this campaign you guys just have to stop flirting with every NPC #anyway i'll shut up. look at my daughter

Good morning, fellow Bhaalspawn! I have another sibling for you…

Name: Amity

The name Amity of course means ‘friendship’ so, no, that is not what she was called in the Temple. In that moment on the nautiloid, just after clawing her way out of the pod, she desperately tried to remember something, anything about herself that wasn’t drenched in blood. Somewhere high above the clouds of bloodlust, shining like an impartial little star was this name. Amity. She doesn’t remember the source, but this is the name she was given for the brief time she was with a foster family.

Pronouns: She/They

Race: Tiefling. Although I like the idea of them being from half-elven or high elven stock (Fey’ri). Bhaal really was standing in the kitchen over a blender trying to make the perfect murder-child with the versatility of a human, the dexterity and grace of an elf, and the benefits of demonic blood.

Class: Sorcerer.

In-game they are the wild magic subclass, but I headcanon them as being of the divine soul subclass.

Alignment: Chaotic Good

As much as Bhaal tried to form her body into his perfect blade, he couldn’t mold the soul that inhabited the body beyond raising and brainwashing her into the cult. Every cut, every kill, every horrific act was an act of reverence and devotion to her father, but he could sense the softness in her and was disgusted by it. There was a quiet strife building between them long before she awoke on the nautiloid with fresh eyes. Amity desperately sought her father’s affections in the only ways she knew how, but it was all too easy for Bhaal to accept Orin’s betrayal and raise her to the seat of the chosen.

I don’t know what they’re feeding them in the temple of Bhaal, but she’s BIG. However, she typically uses her magic, or charisma, or dexterity to move through the world so she’s not actually very strong. (I wish there was an option for a large body type that was a bit softer, less muscle-bound)

#dark urge #Baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 posting #bg3 spoilers #durge!amity #BIG bubblegum pink tiefling lady is here to hug you and therapize you #equally as capable of looking like a cinnamon roll or like they could kill you #she’s very service oriented but takes up the mantle of leadership easily #in a very ‘mother to her men’ kind of way #she leads because it is expected of her and no one else is shouldering the responsibility #that’s how I’m reasoning out why the brainworms are letting the gentle amnesiac disaster bisexual with murderthoughts be the leader #it’s very ‘eldest daughter’ of her if I do say so myself #projecting my own traumas into my characters? more likely than you think
