some people are taking "doomed" to mean "dead". this is actually a misconception! you can be doomed even if you don't die! it's sometimes worse if you don't die!

Was thinking about big thimble design ideas, I like a visual of her folded wings looking like an almost translucent tattoo, like it’s not really visible, but the pattern reflects the light and you can see it under some angles

“Your ancestors are amazed at all your spices!”

“Your ancestors are impressed that you are an educated woman!”

“Your ancestors are proud that you are thriving in spite of what society did to them and you”

It’s all very sweet! But! Necromancy! Is! Still! Illegal! Your ancestors are going back in the ground!

Stop resurrecting them to show off!

Speaking of Occtis as art depictions, I keep thinking about his murder at the hands of Ethrand in relation to Enrique Simonet's La autopsia (1890), and Gabriel von Max's Der Anatom (1869)

The forced vulnerability and intimacy, the literal objectification of their bodies, on top of the complete lack of autonomy the young woman and girl are being subjected to speaks to what Occtis endured during his murder and mutilation

Let’s have so many fucking issues and problems together

[revvethasmythh]

i know i have never shut about that meta that posited veth as Happily Married Straight and Neurotypical, but i think that's because it's kind of this horror story image of veth. like, imagine having all this internal struggle over your own happiness and desires and having grown up being horribly bullied for being different and when you look out at the world, thousands of people can only see Happily Married Straight Neurotypical Veth Brenatto. it's such a blatant act of willful blindness toward a character. it's propping up a puppet of the real woman and saying, no, this is what's real. can't you see she's so happy to be back with yeza? can't you see how happy she is with her normal life and how easily she fits into society? and now that i've fed you this false reality, let's talk about what's really important: how sad her normalness made my neurodivergent queer white male fave feel

[revvethasmythh]

imagine Real Veth coming face to face with the creepy unreal puppet Happily Married Straight Neurotypical Veth Brenatto. she’d be haunted by the fact that that’s what she thinks she should be, and also she’d have to kill that version of her with a knife

[revvethasmythh]

this is my dream scenario, you have no idea how much i want this

“this character is too pure/kind/good to be a sadist” i think that guy jerks off to the thought of beating his partner’s ass purple 👍

[quietwingsinthesky]

i mean, if you’d like, he can get super flustered about it and try to pretend he doesn’t, or he can have a huge guilt complex about his desires seemingly being at odds with his own ideal version of himself and how much he loves his partner, but at the end of the day, he’s still got one hand over his mouth to muffle his own whining as he thinks about having them in tears and begging for him to stop. true about all characters who are pure of heart, they told me so themselves

[liarsblade]

People thinking she's straight and happily married is like whatever. Eye roll. You know how it is with fandom. But neurotypical is bonkers to me. Like I genuinely cannot get into the headspace of someone who would think that. That's like trying to understand the thoughts of a sea anemone or at best a giant squid.

#LITERALLY its soooo crazy #like even ignoring the inherent coding of the weird girl who never fit in trope and like. her entire personality #she very explicitly has disorders caused by her trauma so??????? #guys is it neurotypical to be so traumatized ur unable to bathe yourself (via @brenatto-apothecary)

Right I was about to say like. Even if you for some reason wanted to quibble about whether or not her bullied weird girl swag counts as coding, she very explicitly has PTSD + anxiety in the campaign. And to such a degree that she's constantly self medicating to cope with it and is prevented from normal self care behaviors. Like 😭
