rip louis you would have loved pride month

wanted to talk about it cuz it’s everywhere on twitter rn but i TOTALLY agree with what cc!owen said on stream the other day. same with what cc!avid posted. cont below the line

there are such good ships in bannerfall that are getting ignored over a platonic conversation between men that could only really be taken as romantic if stretched. there’s nothing wrong with noncanon ships, but ignoring real sapphic ships for them is a little bit annoying to see.

i kinda feel like the same thing happened with v!avid. his character is really complex and interesting, with his crazed paranoia because of the death of his best friend. in a lot of fan media though, especially on ao3, he gets flattened into “v!scott’s love interest” or a long-lost lenore.

it’s a bit sad to see such multi-faceted characters become so one dimensional due to poor media literacy. PLEASUHH THESE CHARACTERS ARE SO GOOD WHY

ok that was a lot shorter than i thought it would be :3 support women and non-male ships and media, and i hope all of you have a very nice day

ok so i don’t think bloodletting would work without MAJOR change in canon / the characters.

SPOILERS AND YAP BELOW

at the start of vsmp, owen is feeling this huge loss for louis. he never really gets over it, but he finds someone to fill that space for him. legs. he views the entirety of humanity as cruel and evil, and louis as the exception to that. because, at least according to cc!luanne’s tweets, louis was an “all-good” / martyr to owen. so, when owen sees legs being nice to him, he starts to put the mold of his last love atop legs.

however, as we know, legs is not a good person. when owen learns about legs’ past, he not only is hurt and disgusted by it, but is also betrayed. because even though legs has claimed to be a monster from the start, he still idolized him to the position of his “perfect” love. so, not only did he let himself love a monster, someone like himself, but he also tarnished louis by comparing him to a monster like legs.

on the other side, legs views owen like he views his young self. maybe not exactly, because he hates himself WAY more but ykwim. owen is really violent, struck on killing the opposing humans. i think this would remind legs of his time in the war, when he stopped at nothing to eliminate the opposing force.

so, in his mind, he thinks “well, owen is the most violent of them all. and if owen can be fixed, can be redeemed, then maybe i can too.” he very much views owen as something to be mended in order to both 1) do as much good as possible, and 2) prove that all people can be redeemed.

and of course, legs views that redemption for owen looks like humanity. but since like… ep 3 owen has said he doesn’t want to be cured.

so owen is trying to fix legs (remove him of humanity, the one thing that makes him different from louis (at least until he learns of The Horrors)) and legs is trying to fix owen (cure him of vampirism as a way to fix himself)

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

idk if i’ve ever talked about religion on here, but i’m a hellenic polytheist! i don’t personally subscribe to the idea that i should “focus” on worshipping one deity, but the four altars i have are for hekate, selene, aphrodite, and asteria

i wasn’t raised with this religion, but i converted a few years ago :3

there’s a certain romantic aspect of blending a charcoal drawing so much with your finger that you blister and bleed that’s kinda hard to put into words

[jupitersghostt]

could i like… take v!owen’s gender

idk why but i find the concept of total entropy really poetic. i don’t have the best understanding of physics but UGH i live for the idea that the universe itself is pouring its energy into its own expansion until it can no longer be. like isn’t that just the sum of the human experience? ig it’s just one of the many patterns of existence
