NEMESIS!!!!!

Jokes aside people focus a lot on how mean Nem is and yeah!! She's mean and clearly covets Mel's job but also if you look at her life philosophy it all makes sense.

Cause as Retribution Incarnate, Nemesis's whole deal is that you reap what you sow. If you experienced consequences, you did something to invoke them. Hence why she argues with Moros over the Fates and their influence vs. one's autonomy in that one conversation. It's also why she resents Mel having the job to save the House of Hades so much.

Mel never did anything to deserve this job. She's going out there, with the weight of everyone's expectations, worked up af, dying a billion times cause she was told she ought to. She didn't fail like Hecate did, it's not her official reason to exist like Nemesis herself. The only "crime" Mel did to deserve such a "fate" was being born to Persephone and Hades. Which is why Nem says the job isn't "personal" for Mel - Mel has done nothing (for good or bad) that warrants such a punishment - the scrutiny, the bloodshed, the agony etc.

It contextualizes the animosity between her and Hecate so much. We know Hecate failed as handmaiden to warn Nyx (or so Nemesis accuses her of) and we know Hecate couldn't save the House other than take Mel, Hypnos, and the unfinished family portrait (her own admission). From Nem's perspective, Hecate's the one who deserves punishment more, yet she's fostering the responsibility onto Mel.

It also contextualizes why Nem is so self-loathing about the whole arrangement too. If by her admission, one reaps what they sought re: consequences, what does it mean then, that she herself is stuck in the Crossroads on guard duty? What has she done to reap this? It's probably why she accepts the job even though she hates it. Sidenote: after the Nem + Hecate fight, Mel would have a conversation with Nemesis about it. She asks what did she get for her "insubordination" and Nem's like "heh. more guard duty." but not particularly mad about it. She knew what she did, what the consequences would be. Cause of course she knows.

Anyways, this whole thing is a long ramble to say - Nemesis has a lot of hidden depths besides her asshole-ishness. I do think all her insults and jabs at Mel are thinly veiled concern for her situation (I mean, she's constantly pointing out where Mel is lacking - scrawny, not personal, not deserving of it, etc. and being like "does anyone else think this is fucked up??") while also thinking it should be her responsibility instead. I mean, does Nemesis carry guilt about not being there to stop Chronos I wonder?

Eskel is like "I WILL read this book about... A wolf and all his friends? Dancing and being. happy... 🥺"

we're so fuckin back baby

buggy being presented as sinister, evil and most of all an actual threat is so weird to me. like, i forgot there was ever a time when he wasn't just constantly rolling nat20s on deception checks against the entire world & accidentally joining a dilf throuple.

I never show off the non digital art or things I make on here but I would like to more often 83

Made this little axolotl plushie for myself using a pattern I got on etsy (originally for felt plushies) that I modified a bit for what I wanted and might modify some more in the future.

what do Snatcher and Vanessa look like in your hat under waters au?

The snatcher is a leviathan sized eel-like thing, and Vanessa is something I can best describe as an anglerfish with the body of a ray. Both still have their limited color palettes tho.

I'm currently trying to draw the chapters in order, so sadly it might be a while since you'll actually see them! (Empress beloved I'm so sorry you'll see the light of day after like 1000 years😔)

But in the meantime, have this doodle for an idea of how they look like:

I tried to make it amusing in some way and they ended up playing go fish

(oh and thank you for asking! I'm honored people are interested in this little au of mine :D)

Fully back on my bullshit but the fighter jet call…the red wire being prominent and right in front of Eddie’s face, but being interrupted right before clipping it and told he has to first deal with the other piece, then being told he’s supposed to cut the green wire instead when it’s back more out of the way, and ultimately he has to cut the red wire anyway because that was “obviously” the correct choice…yeah…yeah…

getting into the neil newbon fandom is kind of funny because your like here's this cute little vampire guy I wonder what else he's been in and then you find yourself watching some obscure movie/show that no one else has heard of apart from two randos on the internet. And then you begin writing fics about his characters and rotating around them until the hyperfixation cycle continues again.

we give garp a lot of (rightly deserved) shit but unironically like 90% of the criticisms towards him i see not only ignore the wider worldbuilding context of one piece but also don't acknowledge how sengoku is like the worst friend ever

what if I were to change my whole ass aesthetic for a week and be a little more sillier and then went back to normal as if it never happened
