I've been thinking about the templars lately. they were promised honor, virtue, told that they would be charged with protection of the innocent... And then those same people are systemically exploited and abused, abuse others because they're taught to regard everyone else as either sheep who need to be lead or potential threats. Never equals, except in their brothers/sisters-in-arms. They act as the guard-dogs and military arm of an entirely different organization that they're only a functionary member of but have no governing say in. Even the chantry aren't their equals- they function as the templar order's supervisors! And all this isolation and closing of ranks ends in disability, addiction, death, and abandonment by the system they spent their bodies in service of.
To top that off, retaliations against them just confirm the paranoia they were taught to embrace. It's probably a long hard road to get out of that hole.
Like, listen. the dichotomy of mage vs templars is a satisfying and easy one, but the system is tearing them apart too. have you ever heard of a retired templar?
at the end of it, mages and templars need to unite against the real threat. the chantry.

so i am in the middle of a pretty terrible art block rn unfortunately. and i don’t rly have anything to show for it. i’m trying to get out of it but the motivation to draw is still just …. rly low
however! this has given me an opportunity to work on another one of my hobbies!!! a year or so ago i got rly into making friendship bracelets and as of recently i’ve gotten a lot better at it!! here’s some ones i’ve finished in the past month or two
anyway. i think they’re pretty cool and really fun to make. and i’m slowly getting better at making them!! it has been fun to see my progress lately!
sorry for the filler post!! thought i might as well show y’all what i’ve been doing haha i’ll try 2 keep working my way out of this art block tho! thanks for sticking around !!
