#ok next book

[raspberryzingaaa]

No ok because it's about the fact that he has been deemed Annux, a King of Kings. A King amidst kings. Not by his own hand, but called so by his people (see a King in the midst of his people to judge how he will be as a king???) And ALSO the fact that he is a Philosopher King Who Doesn't Want To Be King! The ultimately Just ruler deemed by Socrates Republic. I'm gonna lose my mind

#mwt was so right for this #NO ALSO HE HAS SCARS ON HIS HANDS #nia post #im screaming screaming screaming #i Shouted when i got to the annux scene #also... the fight at the end of koa reminded me of when my dad ended up walking a man down a mountain only 2 miles in and didt get #to do the hike hed been looking forward to for like a year. we were talking about it once and my mom was like. oh yeah he got laid for that #which earned her the title that she always makes it wierd. but its all i could think about in that scene #like. he finally took up his throne and proved himself king..... yeah he got laid for that dont boo me im right #also the puzzle im doing has wierd edge pieces:/ #long deep sigh #ok next book #queens thief #christ figure

I think the thing that shocks me the most about the discourse, if you can even call it that, around book Alicent vs show Alicent, is the idea that people think book Alicent had full autonomy over all her choices and she wasn’t a “victim” like show Alicent.

Now first, I put victim in quotations bc the way people who do not like her have almost bastardized that word. Alicent is a victim, and those things (rape, abuse, neglect) were done to her. That says everything about the men who did that do her and nothing about her. But people are hellbent on throwing Alicent, a woman in a violently patriarchal environment, being victimized back at people as if it is moral flaw of hers. Which is just terribly ironic bc the same folks who say Alicent “did it to herself” or “deserves what she is getting” also seem to think the crux of the story isn’t about generational trauma catching up with itself, how far people will go for power, or even how all girls and women are harmed - albeit to different degrees. But more the fact that Rhaenyra is the only woman to be harmed - and the only harm done is not getting the throne easily. Those same people wouldn’t be caught dead admitting that Rhaenyra is also a victim in the way they shit on Alicent for being. From the father who sets her up fail, to the baby daddy that’s been eyeing her since she was barely 18, to the uncle that grooms her. It takes away from the fantasy projected onto Rhaenyra if she too is surrounded by men that use her and she never escapes that.

Second, it’s funny how F&B gets heralded by some as this exploration of how history is skewed depending on who is telling it. But people can’t read between the lines (you honestly don’t even have to do that much work) with book Alicent. Showing 14 year old Alicent being preyed on, 16 year old Alicent being pregnant with her second child, and 18 year old Alicent being raped is somehow the show needlessly making Alicent a victim. But reading about a 13 year old bathing, dressing, and taking care of a king who mistakes her for the daughter he abused and neglected, and then that same girl, at 18, marrying another king that killed his previous child bride is just girl bossism on book Alicent’s part?

People hate conceptualizing the idea that (even book) Alicent is caught in patriarchal trappings bc to some that takes away from Rhaenyra’s plight…. Bc they can’t wrap their heads around several women *gasp* all going through hardships, and that ultimately people will respond to trauma differently depending on tools/knowledge they have at their disposal. Alicent neither being gleefully evil nor picking herself up by her bootstraps to somehow end years of patriarchal violence is not the neat box they want for her.

#people want Alicent to gleefully be evil not bc it would be more interesting (newsflash it wouldn’t) #but so they can be justified placing her in the ‘evil woman’ category #bc to them their is only ‘good woman’ and ‘bad woman’ #but since the show doesn’t lineup perfectly with the woman they made up… they put her in the ‘weak woman’ category #bc the only thing worse for a woman than being a bitch is being perceived as passive in your demise #trust me I would have loved to see Alicent let Viserys rot and plot against him just as much as the next person #but please do not act like that wasn’t probably self preservation and trauma on book Alicent’s part #not her doing it for shits and giggles #and lbr the same people wishing the show went that route would’ve been the same people STILL shitting on her #pro alicent hightower #alicent hightower #pro team green #anti viserys i targaryen #anti targaryen #ok NOW I’m done lol #told myself no more of these lol

I listened to Butcher Vanity for the first time the other day and…Crowley. Crowley 🐦‍⬛

Tw for themes of cannibalism (nothing graphically shown) in the song if you listen m(_ _)m

This art is inspired by the thumbnail for the song! I’m so taken by both the song and visuals that I’m actually sketching out an animatic for Crowley for this (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) My drawing was just to test out the waters for the style- I cleaned up the lineless versions a little but nothing too much since it was a test. (Id appreciate any feedback for the style you prefer to help me decide. I’m really excited to pursue this project once I’m done with other priorities ^o^)

Ever since we discovered the possibility of Crowley eating monsters like Grim, and his SSR card emphasized Crowley’s love for wild game…I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him eating- in a both horrific and not-so-horrific sense BSJX 🤣 This song captured my feelings for both (*´∀｀*)

kind of expected that the ability breakdown wouldnt get that much traction (especially on twitter bc if it doesnt do well in the first few hours it might as well be dead) but what i didnt need to wake up to was looking at my twitter notifications and thinking there was a long comment on it at first but then i read it and it turned out to be some guy having dug up one of my old totk tweets where i talked about how zelda was treated-

and if a quote retweet with a thread attached already starts with "this entitled brat didnt understand that zelda was being a history nerd by being in the past and getting to experience it herself" with two screenshots attached of the end of totk with zelda staring at the cam all uwu (which has ??? to do with their point??) i dont even want to know what else was in that thread

if thats how the majority of the fandom is then im even less surprised that nintendy doesnt even have to try to write anything good :I

ah yes, i am a game nerd, and by putting me in a game where i stand around doing puppy dog eyes while being shoved around by NPCs is me being a game nerd OBVIOSULY

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #sorta #like ok im not saying you cant like the game ffs #but acting like everything is perfect and anyone who dares speak something critical is a heathen and must be PUNISHED or PROVEN WRONG- #-is so godammn annoying #just went on their profile to block and of course it was all screenshots of totks ending with uwu zelda and shirtless cool guy link #also find it interesting that zelda has always been a history nerd now #didnt know interest in shiekah tech and ... frogs? counted as historian #and dont get me wrong it would fit her being interested in that too but the way it was done in totk felt so artificial #like doesnt she say she read in a book that the king who founded this hyrule was called rauru and all that? #like ........ how did that even happen #a book that mentions him BY NAME surviving for WAY OVER TEN THOUSAND YEARS just convenietnly materializing or what #how the hell did that survive when next to nothing did of the ancient shiekah #(granted you can make the argument that the -other- ancient king of hyrule that persecuted them destroyed most of their stuff- #-which would make sense and im rolling with that too but you get my point??) #but raurus shit was even older than shiekah stuff like ......... ok???? how convenient she now suddendly is interested in nothing but #-that and also read a book about it!!! somehow!! #also how does something like that exist but then the sonau where pretty much non existent and irrelevant at all in botw #and even what we had was ACTUALLY done ..by hylians as a tribute to rauru you seeeeeeee #and the botw sonau style was the hylians work .. even though the totk sonau style aligns more with hylian than botw sonau.. #if the hylians were so grateful to rauru they built giant stone monuments as a tribute for him that didnt even fit their style- #-why was that the only stuff that survived on the surface ... wouldnt it make more sense that they would maintain the og sonau stuff instea #sure the temple ... castle .. whatever went up into the sky and whatver SOEMEHOW but not everythign did and it was everwhere #but then the stuff left on the surface crumbled away while everything left to rot in the underground and sky is just .. fine #what #also ... where did their castle go anyway #like ... we only see the -new cooler sonau- temple of time on the plateau but its interior doesnt match at all with the throne room #so where was all that #funny it wasnt in the same place as hyrule castle

somebody rec me some good books. and they do actually have to be good. don’t rec me something just because it’s gay or it’s popular, it has to also still be good. like both the story and the writing have to be good none of this good concept bad writing or good writing horrible story. fantasy or soft scifi preferred, especially if it’s nontraditional fantasy. I am bored and sick of the internet and I want to get back into reading more but I’m kinda meh about most of what’s on my shelf

*edit: when I say “soft scifi” I don’t mean cozy I mean not hard scifi, as in stories that are more fantastical than grounded in hard science. for example the Martian is considered hard scifi, so not that. Star Wars would be closer to a soft scifi bc it’s all bullshit on the science end and it’s more about the vibes

#I started the jasmine throne and that was good but then I noticed a somewhat repetitive quirk of the writing style #and once I noticed it I couldn’t STOP noticing it which was extremely distracting and made it hard to pay attention to the story #the problem with books is I am sooooo hypercritical and so many ppl are bad writers and get published anyway #and booktok can’t tell the difference so these shitty books become bestsellers just bc they’re gay and tropey #not that jasmine throne is bad writing. it’s ok writing I just can’t stop noticing they overuse one particular sentence structure #and now it’s driving me crazy #but there are plenty of other bestselling books that ARE legitimately bad writing #I’m reading a psalm for the wild built rn and that is genuinely really good and next is the second book #but I’m almost done with the first one and both are like. really short. so I need something for when I finish those #(carefully does not look at the stack of comics I bought at SPX that I haven’t read yet)

I think I struggle with the "same face" problem when I draw characters. Especially the Archeron sisters - who should be similar enough to look related but are obviously 3 distinct people.

Are folks taught how to differentiate faces at art school? Are there secret tricks to it? I have face blindness (omg the struggle is real and I appreciate when people repeat outfits or wear name tags) and body dysmorphia, so drawing people is hard enough. Holding an image of a realistic face or body is just something my brain really struggles with.

That was a whole tangent in which to say: here's Elain and Lucien! It's @elucienweekofficial and I love any excuse to draw Lucien.

#I can't wait to get into elain's head in the next book #unless the book series is going to stick with nesta which is also ok with me #but I would like to hear Elain's thoughts #and see her visions #elucien #elucienweek2023 #elain archeron #Lucien vanserra #acotar #acotar art #acotar fanart #a court of thorns and roses
