Hi!

I have been researching alt text and image description/transcription, and I just wanted to say that your Poison Ivy lps post helped me 🧡

In a lot of tutorials it is said to omit details and such, but when I am sharing art I made it feels wrong and the opposite to what I should do, since the main part of the post is the image, so saying something like "an illustation of a character from a thing" feel as if I said "I wrote a fic about Batman! Here it is!" and it just says "Contains the Batman."

ALSO I love your art, your lps are very cute and super well designed 🧡🧡🧡

holy shit sorry for taking so long to respond, you asked this right at the height of our arcane panel work so it got lost in the commotion 😅

i’m rly glad i could help! i think anything is better than nothing and i’ve def gone simple w my ID’s before, but i try to highlight the important things when i can! esp if there’s text in the image (which is usually the case for me w my artist’s notes). sometimes i even use it to my advantage to draw attention to a specific narrative or emotion i’m trying to convey (<- they long to be a writer)

and ty, i put a lot of thought into my lps designs too! i appreciate that my efforts aren’t going unnoticed :”) have a lps billy batson for your consideration! ^__^ 🤲🐑🐺

I hate fandom misogyny so much, people hearing that the powers have feminine voices and being so weird and reductive about them, reducing them to "fangirls", when they're so fascinating is so aggravating

These are the Gabriel's disciples, those who looked up to him. We don't know what exactly being one of Gabriel's disciples entails but my first thought is their relationship to him is not too dissimilar to the relationship between a young ancient greek soldier and his commanding officer (at least the popular conception of such a relationship)- we already know how admired Gabriel was by the ferrymen, those who he had authority over but was distant with, but the powers we meet might have been under his direct command.

IDK, I like to think Gabriel had a close mentor role with his disciples, at least before he became the judge of hell and he grew distant.

And sure we know that angels cannot be young as they cannot reproduce, but by describing themselves as "Gabriel's children" it gives an air of youth to them, of inexperience, immaturity - immaturity we saw in Gabriel himself in his anger at his first defeat.

Anyway, now imagine you're a power, and your mentor and idol fucking murders all members of government, and in the chaos of trying to figure out why, you find out that it was in reaction to being punished for losing a fight with a machine. Which, from your perspective, is impossible.

That machine must have done something to him, corrupted him in some way! That is the only explanation for his actions (in your panic you ignore the hypocrisy of assuming that a machine is capable of corrupted an angel despite your rejection of its capacity to defeat one)

And as the powers descend into hell they are being lured in by hell, all in for the purpose of recreating the Gabriel fight. Actors unaware of their role in the play that hell has set.

This is not even getting into the whole carrying another arm to appear whole/ "fully formed" shtick. Whole by whose definition? We know it's to emulate the Archangels, seemingly Gabriel specifically. But why are they lacking an arm to begin with? And was this behavior encouraged by Gabriel? Or by heaven in general? And aren't angels supposed to be perfect, so why would an angel lacking an arm see themselves as incomplete? Isn't that diminishing God's creation? By assuming it ought to be augmented to be completed? That is a reason why so many christians are such asses about any form of body modification. There is also the implication of (at least metaphorical) ableism, the idea that because someone is missing a limb they're not "fully formed"

It might be part part of heaven's "vanity" as the terminal calls it but it's still a major sticking point to me, especially with their wings sprouting from their left shoulder blade, where their arm is missing.

This isn't even getting into how heaven might now view the powers, they were able to descend into hell without trouble so theyre likely not being seen as traitors aiding a wanted criminal (when I initially read the providence's terminal entry i was so convinced they were trying to capture Gabriel to execute him for crimes against the state but the powers being allowed to look for him despite being his disciples proves this to be not true) but I cant imagine the general heaven's view of Gabriel isn't at least complicated somewhat, and by extension heaven's view of his disciples, no matter how popular we know him to be.

Also the powers are goody as fuck and I love all of themmmmmm, kissing them on their dome forehead

YES i love my little baby birds who add so much to the lore i so wish more people were normal about them

6, 11, 28 for you!

thank you!!! i love sharing trivial information about myself on the internet :)

6 - do you use a watch?

i do not, purely because i'd find it too annoying to have on constantly and would forget to put it on again after sleep/shower/dishes. i don't really rate the way they look either but that's a personal thing, no hate to any watch wearers out there

11 - anything from your childhood you’ve held on to?

i have my childhood stuffed animals!! they're a set of 3, two square ish bear ish creatures and a little floppy elephant. they're very very worn out and have many holes patched on them and they've gone from being pink and purple respectively to all being a shade of grey. i love them tho, they're called my colds. because they get really cold if you leave them out in the air for some reason (they always have, when i was little i used to wait for them to get cold and then snuffle them under my nose)

28 - last meal on earth?

if i could have anything i wanted and infinite stomach room, like a genie situation, it'd be this, off menu podcast style:

some bread to start. specifically garlic and olive foccacia from the bakery that sets up a stall at my uni every friday. i used to get one of these every week between classes but then i found a hair on one and got put off. i might start again next year if i'm ever on campus on a friday. they were so good, they had whole olives in them and the texture was lush.

starter: boneless lemon pepper wings with ranch from a place near me, but from before they changed the recipie. they used to be so juicy and the batter was so thin but so flavourful but now they're really hit and miss (i think the place is under new management)

main: cobb salad, but specifically the one i had in the rainforest cafe in disneyland paris when i was 15. it was about twice the size of my head and is, to date, the only cobb salad i've ever seen with all of the necessary components of the cobb salad on it. it was so delicious and i think about it every day and they've taken it off the menu now. but god it was amazing. literally everyone in my life knows about my love affair with this salad.

side: either: halloumi fries, breaded and fried how my dad used to do it -- with seasoned flour and golden breadcrumbs. preferably with a light garlicky herby dip

or, if the genie can't do that, because of the whole bringing back dead people thing: loaded curly fries with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and a little salsa. i had these at fright nights last year and i was obsessed.

dessert: this one is very difficult. weatherspoons cookie dough sandwich is a high contender. ben and jerry's phish food or caramel brownie party is another high contender. however i think my ultimate choice would be another fright nights food sadly -- caramel brownies from the brownie cart, as fudgy and cold as possible. like, borderline frozen. can i ask the genie to also take away my sensitive teeth for my last hours??

drink: i want several. i always ave at least 3 drinks on the go so i want at least one for every course. sorry to be indulgent but in this scenario i am about to die, so, yknow. i want one of ALL of the following:

-rose milk boba tea with lychee pearls, strawberry jelly, and tapioca

-crispy ice cold pink monster energy

-blue tango ice blast

-iced vanilla latte (hm: rodd's waffle iced latte. but i don't like oat milk enough to put it in my actual choices)

-starbucks chai latte with soy milk, caramel syrup, whipped cream, caramel sauce, and cinnamon on top (HAS to be starbucks unfortunately, we can get the genie to rob it from them. costa chai is too spicy for my liking)

-cold vanilla coke, from a bottle not a can

-volvic strawberry water

"ooh danny what about normal water" i drink normal water because i have to to stay alive and it's fine but i'm not wasting my time on that when i'm about to DIE.

sorry this answer was so long i just love food

thank you for the asks!!! :D

Hi Dana!! It’s Gimblegord!! Me and Serena were wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime!!!!

Hey Gimble! Yeah sure, sounds like it could be fun!

[moonshine-dan]

hello i followed your blog when i was going through my haikyuu hyperfixation back in 2021 and even though im over it, i have been waiting for that tsukishima fic (the one that's 95% finished) now for two years 😔😔😔😔😔😔. if you plan on keeping it to yourself and never letting it see the light of the day just say it 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😜😔😔😔

I've been tinkering with old ideas!!! I didn't post THIS one you've been waiting for but I did post another fic for Tsukki just today lol, it's here

I'm sorry you've been waiting for a while, but it's important you understand: I was dying. Literally, not exaggerating, dying from organ failure. That's why I was on such an insane hiatus. I lost the will to do most creative projects for a while. I'm better now though! 😁 I'm hoping I can do more now that I've recovered but please be patient 😭
