getting severely clear just how many people have never heard someone tell a trans man "honey, gay men call each other 'sis' and 'queen' all the time"
(or maybe never listened when a trans guy opened up about it)

Gymnasts retire in their late teens or early 20s most of the time and teenagers are allowed in the olympics in most countries, where are some of you getting the idea that Svetlana is like 40s. Something something you guys just want any excuse to bar trans women from shipping especially with other women something something

herostaire. I like him.
something I have never done before is draw out the way a character's fashion sense progresses over time. it was super fun to think about... I love to draw clothes and this took it to another level by mixing it with characterization and story arcs. TASTY!

I’m copacetic with all of the official translation names in Dungeon Meshi except Sissel. Thistle just feels better

now and forever thinking about uksies Buttons who is a complete menace that spends his time stealing and generally causing chaos. but who also cares so much about the other newsies and will always make sure the younger newsies eat, even if it means he forfeits what he’s stolen or his own food.

The thing is I have sooooo many things to say about Dark Place Casey but I find myself tripping on step one -- which is that trenchcoat Casey, the Casey from the Echoes, the Casey of Yötön Yö -- that's not actually Casey, our Casey, that's just Alan again. It's Alan, filtered through the lens of Casey, filtered through the lens of Alan.
Because everything that makes Casey recognisably himself is just... good character writing. The affect, the character voice, the opinions, the way he reasons through circumstances, all of those are the result of Alan's familiarity with the version of Casey he thinks is his. We're already seeing one layer down because of the way Echoes work, but even that top layer, Casey in the text, is Alan's creation.
Which makes it fucking fascinating that Casey is in the text identified in a role that is removed from the roles hierarchy of the horror story. He is "the detective". And if you've read enough detective fiction, you know that the detective rarely is the hero of the story. They're not someone who has skin in the game. They're rarely personally involved, their character arc rarely tied to the mystery itself. The detective may be the protagonist, but most of the time their role is to be a witness -- an observer, a collaborator, the window into a broader, impersonal perspective and, when necessary, the hand of the author acting on the plot.
An outsider to Alan's mental landscape with the face and the voice of a stranger.

obligatory intermittent post once again requesting more people make pjo askblogs. pretty pretty please. they're very fun I promise and askblogs are a dying species. i'm very sad that for like the past 6 years there's usually only been one or two riordanverse askblogs active and I'm one of them.
"but i can't-" there's options! text-based askblogs! illustrated/drawn-response askblogs! cosplay askblogs! voice acting askblogs! combinations of the above! whatever else your heart desires! get funky with it! getting funky with it is really cool!
also do your local askblogs a favor and send them some asks sometimes. here's a list of illustrated pjo askblogs I have curated, and a list of other formats of pjo askblogs. I'm also working on another list of general askblogs so if you have any other askblogs you should tell me about those ones too.
