i looove azteca from like. a narrative stand point

because we have this hero and thats you. were practically the stuff of legends by arc 2 just because of what kind of experience we have under our belt. we've never lost a fight, and it's assumed that we never will. that's how powerful the wizard is—everyone expects them to win, expects light to triumph shadow

and when we fail.... well. it shocks everyone doesnt it? people get angry. people get disappointed. to the wizard, who has never known failure or disappointment, it must feel like an entirely new thing. this culture was here for thousands and thousands of years—a culture and a people you never knew about until you were brought into the spiral.

and now because of you its gone. because you failed to save it and stop morganthe, its gone. and i think merle's passiveness about this situation hits a little differently this way—i read it more as disappointment, anyways. and to someone who has never known defeat, not to this capacity, with this many casualities and victims, the disappointment feels a little more crushing, doesn't it? the wizard is supposed to be a hero summoned from the legends, from a place not beyond a spiral where they had not heard of magic, and it feels like they let everyone down.

this imo is where morganthe truly establishes herself as a villain. i mean she already was a villain before imo BUT bringing a grieving man back from the dead to puppet around AND destroying a world is just straight up evil (and i love that). people like to complain about the malistaire bit which is valid in some cases but i think it really does sell the frivolity in which she chooses to go about things. like hey heres a man you killed with your own hands. probably when you were young. i brought him back from the dead to use as my pawn and now you have to fight him again btw. using a dead grieving man for my own goals. and then the fact that we cant beat him at the end, to 'send him back', is just another way she gets a leg up on us. she leaves us with unfinished business and xibalba destroying azteca is just icing on the already fucked up cake she's given us.

shes TAUNTING us. and this is important because it does come back to us in khrysalis—no doubt the wizard is still haunted by the sins of their past; their failure to save azteca. they have to get through this bit, to learn to let it go, before they can learn shadow magic. after all this, it's still stuck with us—our failure, one that she spearheaded.

dont even get me started on the wizard learning shadow magic maaaaaan because now they share one thing in common—they know shadow magic. they wield shadow magic. and shadow magic is so reviled that it's forbidden. no one else but her can really understand the isolation that comes with learning shadow magic, and it parallels the wizard and her even more because neither of them had a choice! the shadow magi turned morganthe into the shadow queen she is today, and we are subsequently forced to learn shadow magic and do the same if they ever have a chance at defeating her. i love it. i LOVE it. i love azteca... i love khrysalis....

#val.txt #wizard101 #w101 #wizard101 spoilers #sorry for the fucking essay im just thinking about wiz so much recently #long post #maybe? #i love shadow magic too i love that its a forbidden magic i love that #might make another post diving more into it.... #also im like not even sure this has been talked about before BUT YALL NEED TO GIVE MORGANTHE HER FLOWERS!!!! #arc 2 is not the best BUT ITS NOT THE WORST EITHERRRRR #i had to look up some stuff to double check and i completely forgot shadow magic was forbidden #like. after morganthe died velma and the wizard are probably the only practicing shadowmancers #minus some vague other things #i love that <- about to traumatize my wiz ocs so bad #this might be stuff ive seen repeated but now its my turn to get to post about it

Dark Lena AU

Its actually a possession a la Practical Magic. Lena and Ruby or Esme are messing around with a ouija board, and a spirit comes around, senses Lena's power, and jumps aboard.

She doesn't even really know whats happening as her personality is slowly influenced by this dark entity. Until the aforementioned argument where Lena tries to throw the rift in Kara's face and Kara is like "nuh uh. Not happening."

Kara calls on other witches in National City for help containing Lena and expelling the dark passenger. Having been found out, the entity begins devouring Lena, and her struggle to hold onto herself is made physically apparent by the time the other witches come to help.

Together, they weaken the entity just enough to expel it from Lena's body. And once freed, Lena has just enough strength and magic to vanquish the thing once and for all with a piercing light that banishes back to whence it came.

Look into my dark twisted mind ✨😈

What if twilight used and studied dark magic 😱

#twilight sparkle #my little pony friendship is magic #mlp fim #mlp #mlp art #arc art #she’s too smart for her own good #discovers an ancient book of dark magic and deciphers it #it’s a forbidden practice

weird how easy it is to pretend shits normal...

#few hours ago i was freaking the fuck out.. #maybe i have that damn storm to thank #cant exactly keep up with everything when the wifi cuts out. #still.. its weird #feel. guilty? like i should be doing more. #as if theres anything to do right now. #ugh.. #just hope shes ok #maybe.. i should practice more magic shit. #maybe.. #... #bolt says i should get some rest #yeah.. id need the energy in case anything happens #heartfelt arc #pokeblogging #pkmn irl #rotumblr #pokemon irl #pokemon rp #pkmn rp

[raayllum]

god now i can’t stop thinking about how when the S4 character designs were first released we were all freaking out over how Callum’s mage outfit and behaviour was mirroring Viren, and how Rayla’s new shoulder plate mirrored Runaan’s outfit, and then S4 just decided to crank up the Viren-Callum parallels in the absolute best worst way and how it seems that S5 will do the same for Runaan-Rayla and

#im sick of it i'M SICK OF IT #elf fam #it was just red #practical uses #all of them just walking around like 'i am already dead' on varying levels of literal to metaphoric #viren is a reanimated corpse. callum is hollowed by dark magic ('it represented death'). rayla is a ghost. runaan is coined #LIKE DEAR GOD #mine #ghost motif #text post #tdp #arc 2 #tragedy enjoyer

[nomsfaultau]

Another mini-arc of Fault is being released. Fault is an SCP SBI AU that deals with themes of dealing with the trauma and guilt of surviving, The SCP Foundation’s system of oppression, and naturally found family. The first arc is Tommy and Tubbo-centric, focusing on the sacrifices needed to survive, and then broadens to fully introduce the rest of the Sleepy Bois, alternative morality systems, and new terrible mental health strategies. While the story does get dark, it makes the moments of love shine all the brighter. Even if humanity hates them, these monsters have each other’s backs.

Mind the tags, and enjoy.

#wanted to do a fun art piece but my phone is to broken rip #writing a description was so weird. Cause the plot is so convoluted at this point I don't think a summary would be useful. At all. #like i could explain how the new chapter is abt Wilbur selling his blood to an eldritch monster in exchange for protection from his trigger #after he was left sole defender of the group as a combo of the cost of a blood god's rampage #+ Philza being completely stripped of his identity humanity and memories #and the bitterness of trying to retain familiarity with someone you love even though they're practically a stranger now #while tubbos arc is bubbling in the background as they start poorly coping with chronic pain/disability/resentment/relying on ppl they abho #and the growing hints of the magic systems lore and planting the seeds for later metafictional themes #this whole mini-arc is mostly foreshadowing for HUGE problems later on #mmmm i should stop rambling #fault au #sleepy bois inc #sbi #sbi au #sbi fic #dark sbi #sbi scp au #technoblade #wilbur soot #tommyinnit #philza #tubbo #clingy duo #scp au #scp fic #scp foundation #sbi fanfic #something to nom on

[suckishima]

rrrrrrrrr im so frustrated with my writing. its just been weeks of struggle and whyyyy. idk i think i need to rework or rethink what im going for with this one or something, its like i can feel the threads of the themes i wanna do are sooo close to tying together but it just isnt quite reaching yet and so it reads like a stilted bland mess but the more i stare at it the further away it feels aaah

i know it can get there i kNOW it can, the ending and like aha moment is so cleaaaar that i think its almost too solid and thats why my beginning feels so fucked—like i just keep asking myself 'well if hes gonna get there in chapter 5, whats stopping him from getting there now in chapter 2??' i tHOUGHT i had reasons but now that im there i just keep instinctually writing him to have the connecting/realization moment anyway and like. if that's how it is then what even IS the story??? i need a break

#leaving for my parents for christmas tomorrow and while its always a little lowkey stressful there esp during holidays #itll be nice to at least have a different stress than this one for a few days lmao #mandatory writing break coming at a good time ig #anyway a lot of the real problem is that a big reason i wanted to write this fic is bc i wanted to explore tsukkis mental space during #the ball boy arc bc i feel like its an interesting transitional time for him in terms of like being after his big moment but then #he slightly regresses in that post match bathroom scene until yamaguchi sets him straight and like. i love just how furudate is showing #that growth isnt linear and so i wanna explore how tsukki would feel during the camp (which he didnt seem stoked to go to) #and in contrast with hinata who couldnt go but weasels in anyway and like how does tsukki deal with #that intensity of stupidity and passion in regards to how he feels about his own relationship to volleyball now #like i dont think its a straight line from blocking ushijima -> admitting yeah sometimes volleyball is fun #i think theres some wavering in there and oooo i wanna explore it but FUCK its hard?? #why furudate why does tsukki deny extra practice the first night of rookie camp but accepts the second night?? #i know why he accepts night 2 im excited abt that. i'm big time struggling with pinpointing why he says no night 1 in a way #that doesnt come off like 1 hes fully regressing 2 like im having him say no purely bc thats how it is in canon so magical ~plot reasons~ #truthfully furudates reason is probably just 'was funny to have tsukki and kunimi say no in unison' and it isnt out of character for #tsukki to say no either but i also can feeeel it i can feeel the threads of a solid character developmental reason that will fit with #all the OTHER stuff im also trying to do lmao #i just need to piece it together in the right way in the right order and right emphasis #and its so cloooose rn but ugh it just feels wishwashy atm #and so. i struggle lmao #eesh anyway fun tag rant yay #heres to hoping not thinking about this for a week will help #x #....who wants to take bets on whether ill delete this later lol

Ton cœur est là, rempli d’un sang vermeil et semblant vivre encore !

Du soufre et de h’huile sont alors répandus dessus, le feu reprend puis s’éteint à nouveau, le laissant toujours intact.

Aide-nous à servir Dieu et à ne chercher que la gloire du Ciel.

Après ta mort, mourut la prospérité des anglais en France. Depuis le bûcher de Rouen, ils ne connurent que déceptions et défaites.

Tous ceux qui avaient jugé avec mauvaise foi la Pucelle trouvèrent la mort peu de temps après la sienne.

« Tu auras secours. Tu seras délivrée par une grande victoire. Prends tout en gré. Ne te soucie pas de ton martyre. Tu viendras enfin au Royaume du Paradis. »

"You will have help. You will be delivered with a great victory. Take it all in stride. Don't worry about your martyrdom. You will finally come to the Kingdom of Heaven."

Que la résurrection soit le seul but de notre vie.

Let the resurrection be the only goal of our life.

Sois présente à nos côtés et contribue encore à la sanctification de notre pays.

Be present at our side and still contribute to the sanctification of our country.

TO BE RECITED AFTER EACH DAILY PRAYER:

Prions. Sainte Jeanne d’Arc, ton martyre est la grande victoire de Dieu sur nos ennemis .

Intercède, du Royaume des Cieux, pour que nous soyons préservés des guerres contre notre pays et des assauts contre notre foi.

Que la France se souvienne qu’elle est la Fille Aînée de l’Eglise. Seigneur, nous te rendons grâce car Tu as béni notre pays en nous donnant Jeanne d’ARC.

Suscite encore de nombreuses vocations pour garder intacte la mission apostolique de la France. Amen.

Let us pray. Saint Joan of Arc, your martyrdom is God's great victory over our enemies. Intercede, from the Kingdom of Heaven, that we may be preserved from wars against our country and attacks against our faith. May France remember that she is the Eldest Daughter of the Church.

man i hope they go somewhere with the rumor monster plot soon bc ill be real, its not really gripping me all that much. feel like having that AND the witches kinda bloats things

#i mean i have faith that itll all come around and all bc its obviously connected to the saving magical girls rumor #its just rn im like. idk its just kinda not as interesting as the witch concept which was neat even before the reveal #and like. also theres a reason why whenever they change the main villains they boot out the witches #like how in rebellion the nightmares are the fakeout villains and once we realize we're ina labrynth then the focus shifts back to them #and the nightmares may as well not exist #same with wraith arc; the witches are alluded to and gretchen is a major player but the focus is on the wraiths and how they intertwine #but here the visuals for the rumors and witches are practically identical (literally look exactly like the clara dolls) #and ik theres probably a reason for that. im still vouching that this is all a witch's scheme similar ot the nightmares #and the things that set them apart just arent that unsettling or appealing to me. the high pitched sell voice is just silly to me #rather than something tempting or creepy or anything #idk. i just dont think its as interesting as the witch thing and im just kinda like ''can they go back to fighting witches'' #idk these last two episodes did really pick up for me btw im just being a nitpicky ass lmao #echoed voice #magireco lb

anyway, basil hawkins is honestly one of my fav side characters. he's such a pathetic little man, totally vile, completely spineless and has literally no friends to speak of. he can do cardistry, he does tarot readings in percentages???, his whole schtick is just a joke about the straw man fallacy. cards have been used as theming for two other pirate crews and yet he's the only character with the balls to use them in a fight. he likes interior design and taking baths. his crew has some truly wild costuming and he has a cat mink. he named his crew the hawkins pirates even though that's dumb as hell and they all had very obvious theming. there's something so unbelievably wrong with him but we will just never know what because he died. rip

#op blogging #i hope he is dead for real tho actually and not like one piece not actually dead dead #his arc is done he should have stood up for himself and his crew and his allies and he didnt and he died for it #sucks to suck little guy #it would also be practically impossible for him to continue to do magic tricks with only one arm (thanks killer) #i wish we could have found out the names of all of his crew members and not just faust #because i bet they all would have had cool occult names

Back on my OC shit this means it's time for a lore dump

Why does Amir have hair that is half short half long?

It's kind of an extremely grown out version of my hair but I digress

There's a thing in Islamic culture where men aren't supposed to have long hair (Amir was one of the only boys in his community) because they're meant to look separate from the women. For like the first couple years of his life Amir allowed his mom to cut his hair (which grew incredibly rapidly, guess who he got that from) but then as he developed, and his autism started becoming more acute, he would often use combing through his hair with his fingers as a way to calm down/stim and also got extremely fussy when he had to cut his hair as he didn't like the feeling of scissors/shears on his scalp. He got so difficult that his adoptive mother had to strike a deal with him, let him grow out half of his hair while cutting the other half.

Amir agreed to this and that's how he had it cut for both of his life, braiding it when it got too long. He wouldn't cut his hair at all after he left for Kou, the only other times he would ever cut his hair would be after his adoptive mother dies and when Alibaba cut all of it off.

#amir isn't perfect when it comes to following all muslim rules and he makes exceptions all the time because of how his brain works #but he tries his best to follow all of the most important ones and has practiced a lot of discipline to keep his autism at bay #:-) #magi #magi labyrinth of magic #magi kingdom of magic #magi ocs #magi fanart #babymagi's fanart arc
