[thedeafprophet]

Hello, I’m Prophet!

I’m 25 and use they/them pronouns. I mostly post my art and talk about things I like. My current main interests are Scarlet Hollow, Baldur’s Gate 3, and still Fallen London, so you’ll see a lot of that here, along with other fandoms mixed in.

I am an adult who posts about dark and gothic themes in fiction, and am firmly against harrasment. If this is a problem for you, my blog probably isn't for you! o7

OC Directory: [link] My Art: [link] AO3: [link]

My ask box is open if anyone ever wants to talk, and I’m generally okay with being sent messages (though keep in mind i am a person, and should be spoken to like a person.) 

I have memory issues alongside my chronic illness - if I don't reply or seem to have forgotten something, it's not personal! Most thing are not personal. I may have forgotten person entierly. oop.

I would prefer if you don’t use abreviated tone indicators with me as they can make it harder for me to read and understand. If you want express tone consider writing out the full word in brackets ex.  (postive) or (joke). 

This blog occasionally discusses kink and other things with explicit themes. This is tagged with ‘suggestive content’. 

There will also always be typos in the things I write, i hope you can accept that in your heart.

Also go say hi to my friends house-of-mirrors and the-dye-stained-socialite :3c

[thedeafprophet]

no sorry i can't come out tonight, im too busy engaging in an endless cycle of dying and being revived in a futile battle up a spire

[valtsv]

i don't even gaf about shipping discourse because i'm a big boy and a bad person for other worse reasons but if i can be real for a moment "proship DNI" in bio means nothing to me. if you want to keep me out you're going to need to line your blog with salt and iron or rat poison or something.

[valtsv]

actually if i were to be less flippant and more brutally honest with you all my disdain for it stems from how much of it is just a thinly veiled excuse for people to fight about their fictional relationship preferences or simply for the sake of arguing without any investment in the reality of what they're claiming to represent and then take pride in their empty, performative activism. i still recommend the rat poison though.

[valtsv]

girl help they are calling me a pedophile sympathiser in the notes for trying to point out that being disgusted by something is not the same as meaningfully working to prevent and safeguard against it by critically engaging with the complex reality of it. can i please just have the rat poison.

I can't see succulents without thinking about Avery now akfkdkdkfkgkhkh

me: oh right avery doesn't like those

[reactionimagesdaily]

[thedeafprophet]

Is anyone else really worried about the fact that due to the dream/memory sequence + waking up elsewhere that you leave Avery in that basement. Potentially with the corpse of their only friend in town?

[thedeafprophet]

AAAAAAAAA

especially if you went to them first before going to the farm BECAUSE THEN they also know just how much danger you're in and were clearly worried, so now they dont even know if you're still okay, and now they're entierly alone after witnessing a horrifically traumaitizing event and blaming themself for the outcome.

and goodness know we're gonna be dragged into something at the start of the next chapter before we can go check on them

AND WE CAN'T EVEN CALL THEM.

I read the devlog, more or less. Did anyone get the impression they were purposefully avoiding to talk about Wayne? There's something about him kidnapping you and what it shows about his character, and a very ominous "We are happy Wayne keeps getting more popular" that sounds like a threat, but that's it

[gibor-zolel]

Thinking about your tags Maggie and how what the devs said recalled my first impression of Wayne.

Specifically, Dustin's comment about "always watching, eyes hateful"

Before I connected the dots on Wayne being who Dustin was talking about, I fully bought into the idea of Wayne being this cool, collected, patient, and reliable "guy".

Our first moment of seeing him/it loose control of its emotions is when we sacrifice our years to the spirit.

As we progress through the story, we begin to see more and more of Wayne's worst personality traits. Especially when things don't go its way.

You could be forgiven for buying into the "guardian angel" shtick if you're doing a more isolated playthrough, but have Stella or Reese around? He will openly show his ass by attacking Stella and threatening Reese.

More than being callous or patient, Wayne gives off the vibe of a hateful, controlling, manipulator who is desperately trying to hide that he's about to snap.

When I bring this up, people usually point to Sybil's comment about Wayne not being two faced. I don't think Wayne is intentionally two faced, as much as its subconsciously trying to win us over and feels it knows best.

When we like someone, we tend to put our best qualities on display in hopes of impressing them but that doesn't mean we're being two faced in the way people associate with that phrase. We also tend to be more positive or pleasant around our crushes, regardless of any other traits. This is especially true if you're attention starved and don't have many/no connections.

I believe that no matter what it tells you, the Entity's worst traits are being a hateful, manipulative, jealous, judgemental, egotistical, and exceedingly lonely individual who feels entitled to some form of a relationship (platonic or romantic) with the MC.

From its perspective, its a being of immense and unfathomable power that was tricked, broken apart, and enslaved by lesser beings to do their bidding. Decades of isolation and being given hosts who didn't want it; why wouldn't it be hateful? Why wouldn't it feel like it was owed a relationship? Why wouldn't it think it always knows best and manipulate you to think it does to?

Why wouldn't it see your other relationships as a threat and be hateful towards them?

When you've been as alone as the Entity has, you get obsessive and possessive of whatever connection you have. Because its had everything stolen from it, the Entity worries that the mc is going to be "stolen" from it too.

It's first priority, perhaps even above the mc's well being, is NEVER going back to that state of being locked alone in a cage and used by others for their own benefit.

the way people treat pregnancy and pregnant people is such a strong intersection of misogyny and ableism, and the derogatory ways even so called progressive people talk about pregnant people needs to stop i am so serious

[longsightmyth]

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like

which outfit would you rather wear? (1922)

right 🩵

Remaining time: 6 days 13 hours

requested by: anon

request: 1920s with lots of ornamentation

commentary from the curator: I hope the ornamentation on these is okay! I thought they both had some really cool design effects, but if you were looking for something else, feel free to let me know! ☺️

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

You know the Dead Three’s alliance is super brittle- especially by the end of act two- so I doubt that Ketheric would have brought up that the prism-bearer just so happens to be The Dark Urge regardless because fuck his coworkers, he hates them- but also I like to think somewhere in the middle of Gortash telling him to stop sulking and that maybe digging up Isobel was a stupid idea, he just fully decided to take that knowledge to the grave

[damndorothea]

i saw this somewhere else but reply / tag what you did today so everyone can see that we all did something different today
