Love watching people react to the news that Peppa pigs little brother is now partially deaf in the same way they would to an established character being made queer "Its woke" "He's been able to hear for 20 years" "why couldn't they make a new deaf character/ why couldn't the new baby be deaf" "my childhoods ruined" and its all happening under this kinda picture
i feel like ive talked about it before and have unpacked it on sylvie's blog but like in context of my art piece im lazy to link here bc it'll be queued for the morning--
sylvie struggles with identity. in the form of like ... knowing who they are behind their own mask
they were born into godhood like columbina was, they were crowned a god/protector from their very birth, so figuring out themselves was ... they never really had a time to find themselves. they did go out, meet gods, figure out what they enjoyed, but there was never really a moment to realize who they were at their core
and their death was when sylvie had to really face that fact that they didn't know who they were without their people, without being a god
it's funny cause thousands of years that seed of doubt and unsureness in their own self still lingers. not something they actively think on, rarely if they do, they are relatively comfortable in themselves and who they are, but sometimes there's that inkling of 'who am i?' that pops up, especially when you're so long-lived, and they've lived so many lifetimes as other people that's not 'them'
it is genuinely so hilarious and sad watching "solas slightly approves" pop up for the 17th time in 5 minutes solely bc you asked him the most mundane of questions like. hyperfixated girlblogger coded

xiao was standing on the uppermost balcony of the wangshuu inn when you had initially approached him, shyly asking if you could give him a kiss.
his response was almost automatic, a quiet yes leaving his lips before he had even turned around to face you; and, as a result, he had failed to notice the lovely red lipstick that you had worn specifically for what you were about to do.
grabbing his face and quickly pulling him in for a kiss when he turned around, xiao was taken somewhat aback by your eagerness. as your fingers tangled themselves in his hair, you brushed your tongue over his lower lip. giggling at the soft gasp he let out, you didn't waste any time slipping your tongue into his mouth, further deepening the kiss.
xiao could feel you smirking into the kiss, and as much as he wanted to think about what you were up to, all he could concentrate on was the way you were sucking his tongue into your mouth.
"you're so pretty, sweetheart. my pretty boy," you mumbled against his lips. cupping his face with both hands, you pulled away enough to gaze lovingly at him before pressing a kiss to his forehead. and then another, and another, and another, kissing all over his pretty face — his cheeks, the tip of his nose, the corners of his mouth, anywhere you could reach, even kissing his jaw and down his neck!
it wasn't until xiao pushed you off of him out of sheer embarrassment when you nipped at his collarbones that you stopped.
"your— your lipstick, it's, uhm, it's smudged," he pointed out shyly, having yet to realize that if you had lipstick on, and had just covered him in kisses ............
"'m sure it is," you grinned softly, "but i think you should be more worried about what it smudged off on."
what did you mean by th— oh. wait a minute.
you watched in real time as the gears in his head turned, processing what you'd said, before the tips of his ears turned bright red, and his cheeks were stained with a red that nearly matched your lipstick.
"you've got a lil somethin' right .......... there," you cooed teasingly, giving him a peck on the lips. and then that turned into another kiss on his cheek, and another, and ......... xiao really hoped that your lipstick wouldn't end up leaving a permanent stain.
