Personally I have a lot of options about Stoliz relationships, and I don't enjoy how they treat eachother, so here are some Stolas and Stoliz redesign and facts just to make myself happy, completely self indulgent.

Cracgking fingers* WElLL

In this idea Stolas is slightly older than Blitzø because of some magic thing he did to learn ages worth of information, they meet at the same age but when they see eachothers again Stolas is slightly older, maybe around ten years.

Stolas marriage with Stela is very complicated (i blame my friend for this idea) it is common behavior in the Goetia family to marry for convenience and HATE their spouses, they all talk shit about each other and laugh at their spouses expenses, it is what is normal for them and it is the way they have fun, everyone is used to this marriage social construct, but Stolas is the weird one of the bunch.

He tried really hard to have a happy marriage and he never truly understood why Stela humiliated him in family gatherings, and it only made it worse when he felt genuinely offended by his words because he was taking the fun out of their marriage. Stolas has a hard time understanding this. Goetia family DOES NOT GET DIVORCES that are considered a failure, u can hate ur spouse all u want but Divorce is a big NO.

Octavia, is actually 20 years old and she wants to be independent, but Stolas is an overprotective parent, he thinks he is staying married for her sake, but it is actually because he is afraid of what people would say. Octavia moved out of the palace but she is actually living in the garden in a smaller part of the castle (just a nepo baby thinking she is independent) Stolas actually cried for that. He is an overprotective parent, but his kid is not a kid anymore and she doesn't need them, he should be looking for his own happiness and all of this is driving him to a mid life crisis (he is 40 and Goetia lives to +250 years, but he feels old)

One night Blitzo shows up with the intention of stealing Stolas book. They end up getting drunk in stolas room talking about everything, it is the first night they enjoy in a long time. All of the alcohol and happiness ends up in the having great sex, and it is not part of the deal they made for the book, the deal is about Blitzo visiting Stolas when he needs his book, he is free to leave right away if he wants but hey genuinely enjoy eachothers company and the fuckin is just a fun little extra. They don't label their relationship, they got issues.

Stella never finds out about Stolas actively cheating on her, she knows something is wrong but can't figure out what, especially because she doesn't believe Stolas is capable of cheating on her with the lower class.

Blitzo is the same idiot we know, but he doesn't act like he hates stolas, but words are hard for him so they never truly talk or say that there feelings are very real. He has low self-esteem, he believes strongly that he doesn't deserve been liked by Stolas and he feels like he is taking advantage every time they are together, he keeps himself for saying those things because he is in love and he takes what he can until Stolas gets tired of him

Blitzo's business idea came up because he needed something substantial he could leave for Loona. If someone ever happens to him he knows Mox and Millie would keep her company but he needs to be sure she will have a future of he is not around.

He adopted her at age 13, she was on high alert all the time but soon enough she was Blitzo precious little girl, but she is 15 now and she is a menace to the world, the teenager rebellion hit her hard, and Blitzo doesn't have anyone to ask for parenting advices, his only ideas are for trying to do the contrary his father did to him, so Loona is spoiled considering Blitzø financial reality.

All i have so far, sorry about it, muak.

#stoliz #stolas #stolas goetia #his name is really sans Undertale like the goetia is the book with a bunch of demons names like i swear he is sans Undertale #also this creator like to show her ocs and stuff are edgy but didn't handle stolas actively cheating on his wife? weak #their relationship is literally doomed #I ENDED UP WRITING SHIT #blitzo #helluva boss #helluva boss redesign #blitzø buckzo

How are you feeling on book 7?

About that….

Still havent started book 6 because Idia is one of my favorites NRC characters I love him sm on such relatable levels he is so pathetic like, bro same. So I apprehend the story a bit, I really should start it tho… But stuck in the Rollo zone at the same time aughh..

Besides this I’m also scared of book 7, I saw a few spoilers already and this does NOT look good for the heart !

#twisted wonderland #twst book 7 #twst book 6 #I’m late and I heard book 6 fights are litteral hell and I uh leveled up cards for their aesthetics only im doomed #I have like #4 different Rook SSRs #and every Idia cards except the bday and winter one with the braid because I missed the event Im cryin #rambling rn but there will be that insane looking lilia card and I’m currently poor omg #and I need to save for the rollo card next year… If I dont get him I will loose it #also need that pathetic looking cook idia when hes out/pos

as much as I can appreciate the interpretation of enjolras as being a naturally kinda quiet and calm guy, I tend to prefer the idea that he had to teach himself to be charming. he isn't necessarily cruel by nature, but he's intense. the force of his passion can scare even his closest allies as well as his enemies so he learns to file the edge of his knife sharper and smaller and sharper and smaller until he can hide it in a bouquet of flowers.

#he's the epitome of “I'll keep all my emotions right here and then one day I'll die” #and then he literally does die #which makes the whole thing even sadder #I stand by my statement #that enjolras is not only doomed by the narrative #but painfully aware of the fact that he's doomed by the narrative #he is collateral damage in a war that will last long after he's gone #but to him that's better than the alternative #which is to stand idly by while the world holds injustice #he's not naive #in fact he's kind of the least naive character in the book #by some metrics #he knows what he is setting out to do #and then he does it to the best of his ability #everyone else more or less falls prey to the whims of Society #at least at some point in their stories #whether or not they break out of those constructs eventually #but enjolras grabs Society by the collar #and shakes it like a bottle of acid #ok tag rant over #pigeon.txt #les mis #les miserables #enjolras #enjolrasposting #(forgot that was a tag for a bit)

tfw your dad died when you were like four and you spent the next ten years of your life training to avenge him and when you do avenge him you just move on to the next war. and then the next. all you have known is war. and everyone wants you to be more like your father. he is a warning of all that you could become. you don't remember him. you are your father's son. you know you are nothing like him. you both were pawns in the gods' games.

#does this make sense #just finished rereading book 5 and i'm having Thoughts #something something you cant escape your father's blood #thinking about athena literally using diomedes like a weapon #and tydeus being doomed no matter what he did #diomedes #tydeus #the iliad #the thebaid #kinda #tagamemnon #fil.txt

Mucho bringing Sanzu to his own favorite cheesecake place in order to gain his trust is genuinely so funny. Literally tried taming him with food like a feral animal. And it worked.

#yasuhiro muto #haruchiyo sanzu #tokyo revengers #tokyo revengers character book #i love mucho so much... what a sweetheart #he deserved so much better in life #his dream was to own a coffee shop but the one timeline we see him as an adult he's still stuck in the gang world #it's like no matter what he was doomed never to escape his life of violence... and when he finally had a chance at a happier future in the #current timeline he was killed by the person he trusted with his life #shion has my whole heart but mucho... he deserved to be happy

[damnation-if]

on today's episode of Hashing Out Concepts Theatre, i spent a while today while waiting for my new fridge/freezer to be installed after my previous one died and i lost all my food hashing out a bunch of concepts for another game idea i have. (rest assured i'm not actually working on it as a game yet i just like to bash out a framework for things every now and then to make my brain do happy chemicals lmao)

putting all of this stuff under a cut since it's a bunch of images and also in case people aren't interested XD

i am regrettably a huge fan of comic books (mostly DC) and i've seen a couple of comic book inspired IFs popping up lately, though when it comes to my own interest, i'm definitely more into a straight interpretation of a comic book universe than a more. the boys-style universe - i'm into the camp lol, not so much the grim and gritty stuff. (though that's just my own personal preference)

anyway the idea behind That's Just Super is something that i really like about certain comics - giving the villains more of a purpose and rounded existence than just existing to be in somebody's rogue's gallery. the joker's angry defence of the batfamily from various other DC evil forces, lex luthor's furious resistance against brainiac alongside superman because it's His planet, damn it, DOOM throwing in with the heroes in every second marvel event comic... i really like stories where villains and evil characters don't always make the Most Evil choice just Because, but have clear and explainable motivations that sometimes bring them into what we'd consider a 'good' alignment because unlike in d&d, there's no real such thing as a concrete moral alignment.

(this is my banner design for it)

the basic idea is that an inexplicable cosmic event removes all of the superheroes from the planet, leaving it vulnerable to attack by evil mindflayer style aliens - unless the supervillains who remain are able to band together despite their more unpredictable, less cooperative natures and save the planet in the heroes' absence. after all... if aliens take over the earth, the villains can't take it over themselves.

here's my fun little UI design idea lmao...

the other major thing about That's Just Super that i've been hashing out is the pc. the basic idea is that you pick your villain identity from a list but you get to customise their like. birth name and secret identity, while the villain identity comes with its own name, costume, and set history (including occasionally past romantic encounters). i like playing around with the way that IF works with the idea of mcs and customisable mcs so i just thought it'd be a fun twist... it also allows me to create nice drama by having set occurrences in the past lol.

so i did some profiles for the nine villain options - three each of the DC triad of tech/metahuman/magic origin. they're all based on a specific kind of villain archetype, and i really tried to limit myself to ones where i could definitely pin down more than one specific influence so it didn't end up like me just making too many analogues haha... even if some of the influences are probably pretty obvious.

weirdly i haven't even Thought about ROs yet since i've been so focussed on the pc... maybe i'll play around with the partially set background idea even more and only have 1 possible RO for each villain choice or something. maybe a couple that you can romance as anybody... not sure. (talionis could definitely have a messy broken romance with his superhero for example)

apologies that readability isn't great but these are mostly just made for me lmao

this is making me dislike tsats even more like tsats could have been this but something went so very wrong

#tsats was doomed from the start plot & canon wise but this is really emphasising how Weird that book was #like none of it was coherent At All compared to this which is a v classic pjo book like clearly riordan didnt lose the ability to write #these books well he just didnt give a shit w/ tsats ig

[milfygerard]

there was a weird phase for awhile on this site where everyone pretended that gerard was like a shitty mid tier comic writer and like. You guys dont read enough comics. you dont know what bad comics look like.

#barry.txt #of course im wildly generalizing people are allowed to not like gerards comics #but some of it felt like grandstanding and it completely drowned out and kind of killed any interest ppl had in actually discussing them #either as art connected to mcr or totally seperately #and then that fucking show happened. #like the opposite of the doom patrol adaptation. Dragged down every character and fandomized them #so the fandom didnt have to try and do it themselves #stripped it of its satire and creativity. I liked s2 well enough but it bungled the dallas arc and it sounds like #s3 was even worse. which is INSANE bc hotel oblivion is some of gerards best work in comics #bc like. tua is a comic fans comic. in tone and structure and art. Like i enjoy it way more now that ive put a lot of #time into learning and reading more classic AND contemporary comics. Now i see what gerard is pulling from #what hes mocking or homaging. The kirby-esque coloring in hotobv when spaceboy and diego are in the Not Starship Enterprise #augh #anyway i have more to say but i need to check out a book and go groccery shoppjng ive been loitering in the library for like an hour #which is so funny bc i didnt even get to my actual point which is some of you havent read a lot of bad or mediocre comics #you didnt read the kupperburg doom patrol run before grant took over. ive seen things

When you are reading a story where a character is doomed by the narrative and you finally get to that part where a character gets doomed by the narrative

#i knew he would die but come on #not like thiis #its soo random but soo in character i hate it #doomed by the narrative #reading #stories #books #writing #narrative slowly eats at you

[officialbabayaga]

got jumpscared by the fact that paolini has apparently written a book about murtagh which i absolutely 100% CANNOT read for my own health OR his because if I have to endure My Boy having to endure any more hardship literally at all i’m hunting chris down and He Will Not Be Writing Any More Books

#so that is why. i haven’t finished a single book of his past inheritance bc that ending was such a good tie-up of the entire series #and now murtagh and thorn get to heal and explore cool parts of alagaesia and just chill forever As Is Their Right #eragon’s doomed himself to being a tragic hermit which i assume he finds fulfilling because he loves to make his life harder for no reason #nasuada and arya are queens hell yeah #basically all of the female characters are killing it at the end so like. we’re good chris thank you #zoe stuff

i feel close to zeke banks solely based on the fact that he curses exactly as much as me on a fucking daily basis, hell yeah my man you keep that mouth dirty filthy

It is difficult to argue that [Edward IV] was wrong in what he did. His advancement of [Richard of Gloucester] can be criticized only by those who believe that the only good nobleman is an impotent nobleman. Medieval kings did not think in these terms. Gloucester’s power was valuable because it ensured royal control of a significant and troublesome part of the country. Nor can Edward be blamed for not foreseeing the ends to which Gloucester might put his power. The duke had been a loyal upholder of the house of York, a central figure in Edward’s polity*; there was no obvious reason why he should not occupy the same role under Edward V. In this respect, precedent was on Edward’s side. Previous minorities had seen squabbles over the distribution of power, but no young king had ever been deposed. Even royal uncles traditionally drew a line at that, something which explains why Gloucester’s actions seemed so shocking to contemporaries and, perhaps, the reason why he got away with it so easily in the short term.

In the immediate sense, Gloucester must take final responsibility for what happened in 1483. However one explains the motives behind his actions, things happened because he chose that they should: there is nothing in the previous reign which compelled him to act as he did.

-Rosemary Horrox, "Richard III: A Study of Service"

*Richard was also, yk, Edward's own brother who had been entirely loyal during his life. The problem wasn’t that Edward trusted Richard, the problem is that Richard broke that trust in a horrible and unprecedented way to usurp a 12-year-old. Please understand the difference.

#wars of the roses #edward iv #richard iii #edward v #my post #The arguments of Ross and Pollard (et al) are so profoundly unserious and ahistorical #casting an unforeseeable turn of events as a predictable ('structural') one as David Horspool rightly puts it #Ross specifically is entirely dependent on his own horrible view of Elizabeth Woodville and her family as the basis of his analysis #but anyway. as Horrox points out later in the book: #''although earlier events [during Edward's reign] cannot be said to have caused the crisis they did have some bearing in how it developed' #namely Edward's legacy of forfeitures in the 1460s; manipulation of property descents; and fluctuating royal favour. #the most prominent and politically important of all of these were the manipulation of the Mowbray and Howard family fortunes #This is often used to enhance the unserious and ahistorical arguments of historians like Ross and Pollard that Edward doomed his son #But as Horrox points out: Edward's reign did not exist in a vacuum and needs to be analyzed by actual historical context. #from a broader perspective his actions were not especially transgressive as far as English kings were concerned #NO MONARCH (Edward III; Henry VII; etc) died with every single one of their nobles 100% content and supportive #they weren't living in Disney movies and there's no point holding Edward IV to fairytale standards that did not exist. #More importantly Horrox points out that Edward's actions (eg: the Mowbray and Howard cases) need to be put into actual perspective #They were not perceived as problems and did not cause problems during his own reign. #They did not cause problems after he died before Edward V arrived in London. #They only became problems after Richard decided to seize power and deliberately exploited them as bribes for political support #Had Richard decided to support his nephew or work with the Woodvilles - Edward's actions (@ the Mowbrays and Howards) would be irrelevant #(It's also worth pointing out that we don't know WHEN Richard decided to usurp. It if it was a more gradual desire then his depowering #of the Woodvilles by exploiting Mowbray & Howard discontent would not have not affected *Edward V's* ascension or prospects) #ie: the problem isn't that discontent existed with a few specific nobles (that was normal) the problem was how Richard took advantage of it #In theory this sort of thing would have been a potential threat for ANY heir to the throne whether they were a minor or an adult #In itself it's not really unique to Edward and it's silly when historians criticize him and him alone for it. It was more or less standard. #(if anything the fact that he was able to do them so successfully is an indication of his authority) #We come back to Horspool's point: 'Without one overriding factor' - Richard's initiative and actions - 'none of this could have happened.' #which is where this analysis of Horrox's comes in :)
