I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

[ndnbutch]

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

Art fight Attack for @girlnamedcaramelization and a vengeance for @mitsubinyuri !!!! I really liked this set of characters so I just went wildsauce :3

If you think they look cool too, you should check out the @aogram blog!! It’s got all the character pages and info and story stuff. It’s an ocgram in the forgotten realms world- so like, everyone’s a prisoner with unique stories and some kind of crime to atone for.

Also! It’s based on the painting Argument Over a Card Game (1665). Reference and Timelapse under cut :3

Complete with vocaloid (I don’t think I’ve ever posted a speedpaint before. It felt necessary)

15 Submissions - Prisoner room layouts and descriptions given by their inhabitors

Every single submission will receive a doodle of a prisoner reacting to whatever message you put in for them.

There is nothing currently planned for more than 15 submissions, but if the number ever gets that high, we will take suggestions for extra content or come up with something more ourselves!

AoGRAM - Trial 1 Ending Report

…Verus. Verus! Greetings! You remember me, I should hope?

Yes, it is I, The Creator! Your patron, your guide! Here to announce the conclusion of our very first trial, yes? Surely you recall my voice.

Yes, good. Of course. You certainly seem considerably more on the ball than you were when we first met! You’ve learned quite a bit about the workings of this place, after all, and the prisoners who reside here. You’ve made decisions about their fates, even! Impressive. Your progress truly is something to behold.

So, Verus… we ought to review your decisions, should we not? All your painstakingly-crafted judgments… Yes, we must! Let us speak on this matter, then.

---

The first prisoner you were tasked with judging was the knight, Renata del Sol. That Cormyrean woman has been doing everything she can to make herself useful, hasn’t she? She was so insistent about the fact that her own murder was more than just a killing… and yet, you chose she be absolved? You didn't hesitate a bit! Despite everything she told you about how she could not forgive herself, it seems as though it was those very repentant words that made you choose to absolve her! Do you think she will be angry? Sad? Perhaps learn to relieve herself from the pressure of blame? Or maybe even your own forgiveness won’t be enough to halt her grief. Perhaps she doesn’t understand that her sin is only between the two of you. She would do well to remember that any third party she may be considering has no power here.

---

Prisoner 002. Ralis Muukar. The gith. Githzerai, to be specific, and so unlike the rest of his kin… but I’m sure that point has been made clear enough. He really did say so much about his crime, didn’t he? While also saying nothing at all! Did that anger you? Is that why you deemed him condemned, close as it was? Or was it because of his stark difference to 001, his words devoid of any feelings of guilt? Hm...

---

Ah, actually, maybe attitude doesn’t matter to you at all. After all, you decided to absolve our third prisoner, and without much hesitation at all! Qibra of Elderport, the city girl! She expressed so much disdain for you… I wasn’t even sure such a small body could hold such resentment! Ahaha, you must excuse me. I find her disposition ever so amusing. I wonder how this verdict will affect that… after all, with all she spoke of nuance, wouldn’t being forgiven be just as bad to her as the opposite?

---

Prisoner 004 will be pleased with Qibra’s verdict, at least. After all, Danzmyr Maeneld did seem to hold an amount of affection for her. He claimed she was a good person… and you not only agreed with that, but decided that he was, as well! With no uncertainty! Did you decide that he was every bit the hero he was said to be? Or was it simply his decision to trust whatever you thought of him that won over your heart? He is a pleasant fellow, no doubt about that…

---

Ah, yes. Samako. The apprentice... she would object to being called that, but quite honestly? Although her mind is sharp, she seems to be lacking in the levels of judgement needed to call oneself a true mage. Handing you a persuasive essay? Did she truly believe you would read it? …Well, I have to say, I actually wasn’t sure. But in the end, you did decide to condemn her without a second thought. Now, would that be different if you had actually read her little paper? I wonder…

---

…ah, and so now we’re halfway finished! How time flies when… well, in any case, we must speak of that cleric! Esvel Elmwood. Peculiar man, isn’t he? I called him a fool, a dangerous fool… and you seem to have agreed! But it certainly wasn’t an easy sell… in fact, your final decision was outrageously close! You even changed your mind in the end there, but it wasn’t enough… ah, and he was but a hair’s breadth from absolution. What went on in your mind when making that decision, I wonder? Was it his flippant attitude? Lack of remorse? Or perhaps you simply found his presence grating…

---

Even then, it isn’t as if this prison has any shortage of people with… difficult personalities. Number seven, for example! Aeana Ignis. Quite upfront about her crime, was she not? She seemed to think it a virtue. Like with Elmwood, it really was rather close… you changed your mind at the end, too. Unfortunate for her, is it not, that you had waved ever so slightly out of her favor? Ahaha, she really did make herself easy to hate, with that twisted logic of hers and whatnot… Almost too easy, really. One would think a skilled performer could more easily win their warden over, no?

---

On the exact opposite side, we do have Araglar, from that little place called Folgnest... sweet child, is he not? Charmed you quite easily into absolution with that sincerity of his… I jest, of course. I’m sure plenty of factors went into your decision! Yes, yes, I may not know what they are, but there’s no doubt that you considered this oh so carefully.

--

…ah, and now we’re nearly finished! Only nine and ten left to go… so let us continue, then! Zarrea. No “Moonstrike,” no “Mavonathlakai,” it seems! I wonder, do you believe that influenced your decision at all? Her noticeable regret? She did not outright request condemnation like the knight, and yet you still decided she was deserving of your forgiveness. I wonder if 007 had a point, then? Surely she knew of Renata’s verdict by then. Is her commitment to “fairness” another play at absolution? I suppose we shall see in due time…

---

And finally, prisoner number ten. Virian Kiirrum, that nature elf… Pleasant man, was he not? He told you that he believed himself to be correct in his crime, and it seems as if you agreed with him… strange, really. He was the first prisoner to be both unabashedly unrepentant and apparently deserving of absolution, too. How will that knowledge affect him? How will he act as time goes on? I truly do wonder.

---

And so, I believe that is all of them, is it not? From the knight to the druid… you were tasked with judging them, and judge them you have! Adequate work. I must say, it is fascinating to see who you’ve decided is deserving of absolution, and who you believe ought to be brought to ruin… ah, did I say “ruin”? Pardon me. Think nothing more of that, in fact! Cast it from your mind! My intention is to ponder your decisions, and nothing more.

Yes, Verus, ponder. Not question. I am but an observer, after all! It is you who has taken the mantle of Warden. And an admirable warden you are…

Go, Verus. I tire, as do you, no doubt. As with my earlier misstep, cast all thoughts of this castle from your mind… You will awaken soon enough, and once again you shall see these prisoners… changed, perhaps? Altered? Your guess holds as much merit as mine.

Goodbye now, Verus. And although the sky outside this place never seems to change… I suppose it would be suitable for me to bid you goodnight.
