Here’s cult of the lamb fan art I got dragged into this fandom by Bamsara

Me rambling about ideas ⬇️

I made a hight chart that is for the most part based on the bishops animal size.

I feel like lamb was severely malnourished before dying to the bishops probably from being hunted, not finding food often, ect.

Anyway what I was getting at was lamb was like 4,6ft. tall and very small for the regular stature of sheep before getting pumped with crown juice.

Now they’re a giant with sharper aspects that a sheep wouldn’t have.

(Also I made lambert taller than narinder’s follower form bc it’s funny to have an egotistical god have a complex about being short ;o) .)

I'm imagining post-reveal Twilight becoming a little too eager to be supportive of his wife's real job. Like he assumes that Garden must work Yor 24/7 the same way WISE does him, so from now on every time they're on a family ooting and Yor says she needs to use to the ladies room he reassures 'yes of course you take all the time you need we're in absolutely no rush. We'll just be over here not asking questions. No Anya you do not also need to go' And when Yor catches up with them less than two minutes later, not even short of breath 'oh wow that was fast. I barely even had time to get you this bottle of water. Yes, I thought you might like one after a... break.'

Yor doesn't think that sounds normal but normal is Twilight's field of expertise not hers, so she just thanks him very sincerely

Anya seriously contemplates telling them about her telepathy just to avoid this type of situation again she really needed to go potty now!

Let me be so for real for a minute. I grew up in a homophobic and transphobic household. Now, there’s a lot I could speak on in relation to this time of my life and how even now it’s affects me. But instead I want to share something pertaining to the fandom I have found myself in recently.

Good Omens was on my list of shows to watch since it came out all those years ago. Honestly, I was a Supernatural fan, I yearned for nothing more then a good on screen queer angle lol. Of course I couldn’t not at home. I couldn’t risk it. It was funny, some family members were Michael Sheen fans. That meant watching a lot of things he was in and every time I would be thinking about Good Omens and how much I wanted to be able to see it. But after a while I did kind of forget that it exists. Then I stumbled back onto this lovely little chaotic app. Following a lot of writing based accounts and tags it didn’t take long to come across Neil Gaiman’s account, even though he doesn’t use social media. Seeing him answer asks about GO made me go “Oh! Finally!” And start streaming it immediately.

Of course I fell in love. Growing up being shamed by my family for simply being a little “strange”, plot twist I am just neurodivergent, hurt a little less watching Aziraphale constantly being ridiculed by the other angles for his human tastes. Cause if he is still a good character/person/angel, even if a little “weird”, that means I can be good too. Watching Crowley get cast away for asking questions was relatable as well. But guess what? If he can go off and make a life for himself with his love and independence then so can I. Does this mean Aziraphale and Crowley don’t have a ton of healing and growth still to do? Absolutely not. But I am sure they will get through it, and so will I.

Now here’s where it gets a little tricky, figuring out how to express how much the fandom means to me. Hearing other stories, headcannons, and character analysis makes me feel less alone for starters. But even on a less dramatic note, it just so nice to be able to revel in our mural love for this show! After all these years of wanting to watch I finally get to join in on the fun! And I am so so so grateful for that. I love it here.

P.s. as someone still coming to terms with my gender identity, seeing David be so vocal about his support of trans rights and wearing his little non-binary pride pin has made me feel so much better.

people who use chatGPT for ANYTHING are a) contributing to the elimination of human art and writing and b) fucking lazy

“oh it helps me come up with ideas uwu-” GET FUCKED

Is it fun to engage your brain to think? Sometimes no. Is it fun to do “boring” parts of assignments? Also no. But come ON, if my ADHD ass can write research papers without ChatGPT then so can you

About Ivy and canon divergence in the latest Engage manga chapter…

So with the recent release of chapter 11 of the FE Engage manga, there has been complaints about how Ivy was handled and how the manga is diverging from the game’s events

While I understand that different people are gonna have different interpretations of things, that still not gonna stop me from telling the people who are saying “ Ivy is being put through the damsel in distress treatment !1!! “ that YA’LL ARE BEING RIDICULOUS ❗️❗️❗️

Ivy is NOT and I repeat, NOT being put through THE DAMSEL IN DISTRESS TREATMENT

Ivy may have gotten arrested and defended by a MAN 👨 but that doesn’t necessarily mean she has been damsel-in-distressed™ 😭

NOT ONCE has Ivy been weak, pleaded for her life nor hid behind a man when she was in danger during the recent chapter.

I read a thread on Twitter where someone compiled their issues with the chapter and it mostly had to with the obvious-but-not-completely-in your-face Ivy booba fanservice (which is true ngl) and Alear’s gender 😭 bffr

During the chapter Ivy got taken down by the protag™ (like in the game) and moments before she got arrested, she pulled a valiant-sacrifice-of-a-true-leader move, and took the chance to make a leeway for her army and retainers to escape at the cost of herself.

Ivy being imprisoned isn’t something to make her look weak, but actually strong because she got herself into that place to protect her people.

OF COURSE SHE WAS GONNA GET PROSECUTED FOR HER ACTIONS AS SHE IS AN ENEMY THAT ATTACKED THE CASTLE 😭 AND THREATENED THE LIFE OF THE NEXT IN LINE HEIR ( SHE ALMOST BARBECUED DIAMANT YALL )

CONSEQUENCES OF ACTIONS™

And then comes in Alear. Y’all should know by now that Alear is a very kind hearted person and will defend/be kind to anyone as long as they see good in the person, even if the person doesn’t deserve it. And comparing his last fight with Nelucce, an Elusian army leader who used his own men as shields to protect himself, Ivy was different.

Which is why Alear goes to visit her in the dungeons, delivering her food and tells her he doesn’t think she’s a bad person (despite her actions being unforgivable; his words not mine), pointing out that she allowed her allies to escape instead of herself and put himself on front of her to stop King Morion from killing her.

ALSO JUST TO POINT OUT AGAIN that Ivy didn’t plea for her life or looked to someone (or Alear or Diamant when he was pleading his father not to kill her ) for help when King Morion pointed his sword at her.

INSTEAD she stood strong and still at the face of death with her head held high and a cold front, like the true badass she is and just accepted her fate then and there ( pretty much going ‘ whatever 😒’ not only at death but even when Alear suggested she should be put on trial )

SO IN CONCLUSION

NOT ONCE HAS IVY EVER BEEN A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS THAT’S JUST YALL DOING HER LIKE THAT 😤

(Besides, there’s still a lot of chapters left for Ivy to grow and be her cool and badass self)

And as for the manga diverging from the game’s events….

LET 👏🏽THEM 👏🏽COOK 👏🏽🗣

( I WANT TO SEE THE CHARACTERS PULL SOME ACE ATTORNEY SHIT NEXT CHAPTER)

I think the manga deviating from the source material is a good thing ACTUALLY!! as it gives its own identity and more time/space to explore the world building and characters of Elyos that the game could not

I mean we got to find out how long Clanne and Framme worked as stewards, that there exists a village around Lythos Castle, got to learn a bit of the nobles in Brodia, that there are some Fell Dragon worshippers in Brodia (and Elyos) and not just Elusia, more on Yunaka’s, Alcryst’s, Diamant’s and Ivy’s backstory/childhoods, etc., through the manga, so I’m happy and curious with the direction the manga is heading to.

Also Mama Lumera gets to live longer so LET HER HAVE THIS!!

Anyways, that’s all I got to say PEACE OUT BITCHES ✌🏽

just want to say love the heterocromia scary and if you don’t mind going to use that in my own design

thank you!! actually gonna use this ask to talk about my color coding for the families if that’s alright >:o) (also, feel free!)

so my basic colors for the families are

stamplers - blue

wilsons - yellow

closes - red-orange

fosters - purple-blue

oaks - green

for the stamplers, specifically, it’s more of light blue is associated with being A Stampler and the shade I assign the character deals with how much of one they are or consider themselves to be — Willy is completely purple for that reason, both because the canonical purple robe stuff and that purple is next to blue on the color wheel AND he isn’t really a stampler in anything but name

for scary, the only blue on her entire design is that eye — it’s purposeful that it’s the eye I drew covered up unless she was having an emotional moment or, honestly, a ron moment (ie the vegan ice cream thing). it ties her to the stampler-ness she was put into when terry jr married her mom, and connects her to the rest of the family, but is also something she purposefully covers because she feels as if she really is alone in her family. she’s the only character with pink, too, both connecting her to willy and setting her apart from the rest of the families because she’s the first PC with an antagonistic streak (although she really isn’t an antagonist). fun fact, too, is that my design for her dad has blue eyes, while her mom has brown eyes; giving her a canonical reason to cover up that part of her

i could go in depth with a lot of my designs and family color coding but i’ve rambled enough for one day HAHA so that’s why scary has heterochromia! nearly everything i do design wise has a deeper meaning or metaphor or trauma related thing with it that i just enjoy getting the chance to talk about >:o)

#im so sorry for rambling #i just like character design #text #sage rambles #ask

[sageblogsthings]

anyone have any good book recs that blend litfic and specfic really well? ideally with fantasy vibes, and bonus points if there’s a magic system that directly impacts the plot or is an allegory for plot elements/character backstories

#i use the terms ‘litfic’ and ‘specific’ very loosely #but just smth that has the prose of litfic w the worldbuilding of specfic is really what i’m itching for ig #i finished reading ‘a study in drowning’ recently and it was SO GOOD and had such gorgeous prose #but i want prose that is Even Weirder yknow? #pump the metaphorical language up to eleven i love that shit #two of my top fave books ever are the binding by bridget collins #and the inheritance of orquídea divina by zoraida córdova if that helps explain the vibes i love #i would also LOVE more magical realism recs if anyone wants to share those as well! #sage rambles

I stay online on discord throughout the day since it's where I mainly text, I love that I just get this message randomly since it shows what you're listening to on Spotify

hiii so ummmm when the ummmmmm

You ever think about how Homura not catching the apple at the end of Rebellion is meant to represent her abandoning the concept of having Kyoko as a friend? Or even just abandoning the concept of earning someones trust in general??

I just think this little tidbit is interesting given this is how Kyoko is known to show some of alliance to another person <3

Fnaf movie spoilers

It’s not good (in my opinion) . And not in the good campy horror movie way.

The things I didn’t like.

First and foremost the trailers spoiled the movie.

I thought that were taking liberties with the original lore but it was just ignoring major lore points like having Vanessa as William’s kid instead of mike???

It forced Vanessa in and used her as a lore dump and forced a relationship between her and mike really fast.

The presentation of the animatronics while I don’t hate it it doesn’t stick to them being vengeful spirits and has them controlled by William instead of the remnant lore.(which I really don’t like.)

They just presented William as a evil villain with out motive not the death of one of his kid spurring on his killing spree.(which I don’t mind the idea of, but it combined with all the other weird changes was bad.)

They changed Elizabeth’s name to Abby which I didn’t mind.

Some weird focus on mike reliving cc (now known as Garrett .) being kidnapped but not in the way where he blames himself just a weird non emotional re-experience of it continuously throughout the movie.

The characters feel flat and uninteresting. They also don’t do anything for a majority of the movie.

I would have preferred more blood and horror but that’s just me.

The animatronics killing people has like no tone and impact. Also’s sorry excuse for a bloody handprint smear.(I’m being nitpicky here but if you’re going to have limited blood and gore at least have a good bloody handprint smear.)

The animatronics aren’t really intimidating to me. ( some of the other people I was watching it with who aren’t familiar with fnaf found them creepy though.)

No markiplier cameo /j

William getting spring locked was not guttural enough.

I just didn’t like Vanessa in the movie.

Not very clear on what decade the movie was in.

The dialogue was really disjointed.

What I like about the movie

I absolutely loved the visual props they referenced so much of the franchise and I picked out so many different details.

The balloon boy gag so good and it wasn’t over used.

I love the blank stupid stare the animatronics have, they’re so silly.

Near the end there was a spring lock suit that was an obvious reference to circus baby and Abby was nearly killed by being put into it.

Near the end there’s a seen where Abby is running away from foxy and hides between a game cabinet an pinball machine and I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to the first books.

The office is a mix between several different games offices.( the desk has exactly all the clutter in the first game but the monitors are setup like sister location.)

The layout is pretty much fnaf 1.

Just general references to all the different games and media. (I might have missed some of them myself.)

Love the pick for Williams actor.

Also golden Freddy ominously appearing in mikes house.( one of the people I was watching the movie jokingly guessed that Freddy would brake down the door and kill the aunt right before the seen happened.)

The banter between Mike and Abby was cute.

I really love the prop design it was eye candy.

The feral cupcake.<3

Charlie being upset with Vaggie for at least part of the next episode is going to hurt no matter what, but I'll laugh a little if it goes like this

Charlie: How could you not tell me???

Vaggie: How was I supposed to tell you that I've slaughtered thousands of the people you want to save?

Charlie: *blink*blink* literally everyone in the lobby has done that

My Experience With Lily Orchard + Fuck Her

Now, if those of you who know me or have been following me for a while will know that I used to be a massive Lily Orchard fan. I used to support her, I defended her, and I was once a member of her patron even.

I’ve heard stories from people, former friends, former fans, about how much of a manipulating and nasty bitch she is. At best, she’s lashed out at fans for drawing innocuous fanart and for bringing up topics in stream that she doesn’t approve of (I’ve been there, I’ve seen it), and at worst she’s a lying abusive cunt who can’t help but make people around her miserable.

And while I’ve not been the subject of Lily’s abuse, I have been witness and bore the blunt of her passive aggressive horseshit, her manipulating situations to make me appear like a cunt for daring to correct her on an opinion of a book she never fucking read, her shamelessly putting me on blast in one of her videos where she insinuated I was stupid for asking a question about LGBT+ rep, for telling me and other fans to stop talking when we tried to defend our positions in chat.

I’ve had to walk on eggshells around her because I feel like every word I say or anything I do will be seen as an attack on her despite me being a fan of hers for literally fucking years and she knows this. I’ve been a fan of hers since I was 15-16 and I’m 22 now. With no other content creator have I felt the need to be so fucking careful of what I say.

And when I sent her an ask telling her that her yelling at others on stream for seemingly no reason was actively triggering me (mind you, in the nicest way possible because I couldn’t hurt Ms. Orchard’s feewings oh nuuuu) she ignored my ask. Do I have proof she saw it? No. Is she a large enough content creator that she receives so much interaction/asks on her tumblr that my ask got swallowed? Also No.

If you’re a Lily Orchard fan, I am not a needless hater, I am not a stalker or a troll or a bigot. I’m a transgender and biromantic/asexual person myself who is Native and actively participates in activities regarding my tribe and culture. I’m white passing like Lily is. I used to be a fan of hers for fuck’s sake and an active one too.

But here’s the thing - she’ll suck you in with her bold commentary and criticisms and some of it is genuinely really thought provoking and interesting. On the outset she has a “no tolerance for abusers” policy and she’s charismatic to an audience of teenagers who were being abused. Fuck, she helped me realise I was being abused and when the Toonkritic shit came out, that slowly started to help me realise I was being groomed by my exe (TheHauntedReader)

I convinced myself for the longest time that just because Lily wrote “Stockholm” that it didn’t mean anything. That all of her weird takes and opinions were just a quirky “haha i did this in my youth and i regret it” moment. But this isn’t 13-year-old me writing weird fanfiction between an adult and a child when I didn’t fucking know any better and was being actively groomed and abused, this was an adult who wrote CP and romanticised it and tried to get away with it and who should have known better!

And once you are a fan of hers, it’s hard not to become emotionally invested, especially if you’ve always seen her behaviour as normal, which I did. A lot of her fans are abuse/trauma survivors and she knows that. So many of us have confided to her that she helped us realise we could be happier and that we could escape. That we were more than our abuse. These are powerful things to talk about.

But she doesn’t care about us. Never has. Never will. She convinced me and has convinced others that us asking her stupid/silly questions is damaging to her. That it’s caused her so much emotional damage and stress that she can justify lashing out and verbally abusing her audience, y’know - the people who gave her a career. By her own admission, she hates us, but expects our support when she’s being harassed??

Girl, fuck off.

But that is just my own experience. I’ve seen some shit in the past couple of days that I can’t unsee and I encourage you all to look into it because it’s such a dark hole that the phrase “stare into the abyss for too long and it stares back” is what I feel like right now.

And I know why I feel like this - I invested energy and money and emotions into this woman and her channel. I’ve supported her. And no, Lily, this is not about me wanting to be your friend. It’s about me asking for some fucking decency as someone you at least know of and at most you know supported you? To not lie and misrepresent what I’ve said and then vaguepost about me?

Have I made mistakes? Yes. But that’s no excuse to berate and yell at people who have only asked stupid questions or fuck, even made goddamn harmless jokes??

Also, if fans/friends of Lily’s are harassing @asunnycoffee you guys are the fucking worst. Don’t fucking attack my friend you raging cunts. I have a couple ideas of who you might be, but I know you won’t air out your dirty laundry with me, Ginger.

You guys are pathetic.

Lily doesn’t care about her fans, she doesn’t care about her friends, and she’s certainly not going to start anytime soon.
