two million people starving to death because it's geopolitically convenient and we're all expected to go about our day normally like the casual cruelty on display for the past two years has been so insane to me like i'm not even trying to make a point it's just truly something i can't wrap my mind around

I was thinking about that one quote from Tamoko about Sarevok "I would save the man within the beast he wishes to be" and something struck when I remembered his armor design.

It's all horns and spikes and pointy teeth and black and all you need for the scary villain armor. The first thought would be that the armor is supposed to make him look dangerous, but look closer at the helmet. It's designed so Sarevok's face is framed by the helmet's teeth, like a maw that's swallowing him. I really like it, because the first impression you get from the design is that he's a dangerous enemy and that's what Sarevok wants to show, but the second impression you get is that he's not as in control as he thinks. The armor is taking over, the beast is devouring him. When Sarevok dies, his body turns to dust, but the armor stays, leaving him entirely consumed, the taint having won over him. In ToB, on his portrait, Sarevok has a golden armor, and while there were plans for cut content involving restoring the sword of chaos to return it to him, there was never anything for the armor. The armor was the beast he tried be, the beast that ended devouring him instead.

I just really like the predatory aspect of the armor, and how it can be threatening both for those faced with it but also for the one wearing it.

maybe i'm just not american enough but i'm getting really fed up by people - even ostensibly progressive people - holding sexual art to the kind of standards that no other art is held to. like i saw someone on bsky say that there should be conversations about what kind of art should be allowed to exist, "especially sexual", and i'm just like ???? what the fuck do you mean, "especially sexual"? why? why not violent art? why is it okay for people to create violent art just because, without needing to defend or justify it, but the moment art is sexual you need some deep reason for it that justifies its existence?

Cause it's fucking different gooner. Kill yourself, i can't explain to you basic gendered social dynamics.

False equivalence as always.

The creation of the Hunter’s Dream, because men would rather burn down cities or sell themselves to a god than talk about their feelings. Toxic politics and toxic relationships with the added downside of an out-of-control plague. Series: Part ½ of Dim-lit Halls for Ancient Dogs Summary:

To buy yourself another day, another night of the Hunt, you spun your tales. Now they unravel at your feet, and the gods will not take you gently by the hand. They will grip your head and wrench you below the surface, drag you down into your basest, most vulgar form. Perhaps beasts are immortal. But is this the eternity you wanted?

it's going to take me at least a week, before i can string the words 'not', 'like' and 'this' together again. everything here is beautiful and heartbreaking.

i'm actually really, really bad at bloodborne lore but if there's one thing i've learned from the people here it's that all of the former byrgenwerth scholars and their associates are mutually divorced from each other. all of them
