ohhh it’s about time for me to deactivate all social media and reinvent myself isn’t it
#but i like being mog#it’s just here and vent but i like it#i feel like a version of myself who still exists#i don’t know i don’t know#mog speaks

I’ve mentioned this elsewhere but it feels relevant again in light of the most recent episode. Something that’s really fascinating to me about Orym’s grief in comparison to the rest of the hells’ grief is that his is the youngest/most fresh and because of that tends to be the most volatile when it is triggered (aside from FCG, who was two and obviously The Most volatile when triggered.)
As in: prior to the attack on Zephrah, Orym was leading a normal, happy, casual life! with family who loved him and still do! Grief was something that was inflicted upon him via Ludinus’ machinations, whereas with characters like Imogen or Ashton, grief has been the background tapestry of their entire lives. And I think that shows in how the rest of them are largely able to, if not see past completely (Imogen/Laudna/Chetney) then at least temper/direct their vitriol or grief (Ashton/Fearne/Chetney again) to where it is most effective. (There is a glaring reason, for example, that Imogen scolded Orym for the way he reacted to Liliana and not Ashton. Because Ashton’s anger was directed in a way that was ultimately protective of Imogen—most effective—and Orym’s was founded solely in his personal grief.)
He wants Imogen to have her mom and he wants Lilliana to be salvageable for Imogen because he loves Imogen. But his love for the people in his present actively and consistently tend to conflict with the love he has for the people in his past. They are in a constant battle and Orym—he cannot fathom losing either of them.
(Or, to that point, recognize that allowing empathy to take root in him for the enemy isn't losing one of them.)
It is deeply poignant, then, that Orym’s grief is symbolized by both a sword and shield. It is something he wields as a blade when he feels his philosophy being threatened by certain conversational threads (as he believes it is one of the only things he has left of Will and Derrig, and is therefore desperately clinging onto with both bloody hands even if it makes him, occasionally, a hypocrite), but also something he can use in defense of the people he presently loves—if that provocative, blade-grief side of him does not push them—or himself—away first.
(it won’t—he is as loved by the hells as he loves them. he just needs to—as laudna so beautifully said—say and hear it more often.)
#critical role#cr spoilers#bells hells#orym of the air ashari#cr meta#imogen temult#ashton greymoore#liliana temult#this is genuinely completely written in good faith as someone who loves orym#but is also about orym and so will inevitably end up being completely misconstrued and made into discourse. alas#I could talk about how Orym’s unwillingness to allow the hells to actually finish/come to a solid conclusion on Philosophy Talk#is directly connected to one of the largest criticisms of c3 (that they are constantly having these conversations)#all day. alas. engaging with orym’s flaws tends to make people upset#it is ESP prevelant when he walks off after exclaiming ‘they (vangaurd) are NOT right’#which was not only never said but wasn’t even what they were talking about#he even admits as much to imogen like ten minutes later! that he is incapable of viewing it objectively#which is 100% justifiable and understandable but simultaneously does not make his grief alone the most important perspective in the world#also bc i fear ppl will play semantics on my tags yes the line ‘i hope she’s right’ was said but it was from ASHTON#who does not believe they are at all and wasn’t saying they actively WERE right. orym just heard something to latch onto and ran with it#ultimately there is a reason orym only admitted that he was struggling when he had stepped away to talk to dorian#who has not been around and thusly has not changed once n orym's eyes#and it isn't that the hells never check in or care. they do. they have several times over#it is dishonest to say they haven't#the actual reason is that all of this is something He Is Aware Of. he doesn't mention it bc he KNOWS it's hypocritical and selfish#he says as much!#EXHALES. @ MY OWN BRAIN CAN WE THINK ABT MOG AGAIN. FYRA RAI EVEN. FOR ME.#posting this literally at 8 in the morning so I can get my thoughts out of my brain but also attempt to immediately make this post invisibl

so since it feels good to make these kinds of assortment posts... yeah, i have been crushing it this month too, apparently, i'm honestly proud of my progress lately, which, i haven't felt in a long time. thank you everyone for your interest in my work, it means a lot <3
i wonder if i can keep doing a roundup post like this every month for awhile? can this steam engine boil until i just explode? i hope so!
[art tag]
#mog art#artists on tumblr#and as usual there's always more that's just not getting posted yet for one reason or another#man what happened. actually i know exactly what happened#it was a combination of a few things#i have not felt this much motivation and joy wrt my art in so long#those years of struggling and being exploited violated misgendered and treated like shit almost killed me but i held on#i think it'll be okay#i'm glad to still be here

“why do i miss gem and the scotts suddenly theyre barely even real”
LITERALLY!! like. that team was held together with scott tape and the sheer force of gem’s personality. i don’t think scott and impulse ever actually even talked the entire time. it only worked because for the first time scott was faced with someone who was bossier than he was. they were awesome i should rewatch secret life
they were actually so fucking funny. All three of them promising to remain loyal and stick together until the very end (bc together they can win this!!) only for gem to hunt scott for sport an episode later was literally so based… their dynamic will always be funnier in my head i think but god it was awesome
#i have actual thoughts on them but i already wrote my gem scott analysis post#I havent talked about the one scene between them i think about semi frequently—#where gem dies for the first time and scott genuinely tries to cheer her up#(rare for him. he usually just goes anywhere from “you deserved that” to “thats rough buddy” where he talks to the person he’s trying to—#console like theyre a lost pet. this isnt a diss btw i think its really funny when he does this. He did it to mog on sos recently)#it stood out to me is all and i think a lot of it has to do with him actually being there + seeing gem as an actually competent player#it was also the first time she’d died Ever. Which changes things i think#But I’d need to rewatch it and like. Actually break it down… it was cute though#Following this up with the original point: they were barely real. they were barely real. Dont let my insanity convince anyone otherwise#asks

As a certified FF6 enjoyer I really loved the attention the characters got in OO so much. I think maybe the writers had a soft spot for a few games in particular and 6 was definitely one of them. They really captured the charming spirit of the Returners, and they were also multi-dimensional in characterization as well, which they absolutely could have been lazy with for a mobile gacha game. I think there was a lot of love put into it and I can't imagine how the team feels having the game axed before the story got a chance to finish. :(
#im like speedrunning the stages of grief bc im too depressed to be angry for more than like a day#now im just sad lol#the devs are probably upset too and seeing all of us upset isnt helping i imagine#i played through unshakable conviction like... four times lmao#loved how this game gave us more insight on what these characters were like#setzer and the other pilots fighting over who got to drive the airship#edgar and the other machinists/engineers talking mechanical jargon#and also being very politically savvy and shrewd when dealing with characters like vayne#terra hugging mog ;; precious#i loved that locke and noctis and noel became a trio lmao it works so well#and the returners getting to reunite with leo!!!#and sabins lost chapter where they think hes a bear lmfao#and then he goes on about wanting to support edgar at the ending and hhhhh#dffoo really was good fucking food for ff6 fans#ff6#final fantasy vi#final fantasy 6#ffvi#dffoo#dissidia final fantasy#dissidia opera omnia

the urge to make a multi-muse LL rp blog even though i will probably not do much with it and have mostly sworn off tumblr rp
#LL tag#pros: powerful urge to do public rp. cons: hate setting up rp blogs. past experiences with tumblr rp spheres have been tirefires#would almost certainly be multi-muse if i did though because i am incapable of just limiting myself to one#or a small enough number to make separate blogs for all of them#or might make separate blogs for a few; then split other muses off from the main one if i decide they've gained enough steam for their own#all i know is i miss doing public rp and i am very selective about who i'll rp with in private spaces these days#for a number of reasons including just being a socially anxious motherfucker w/ very few spoons for non-asynchronous interaction these days#i already know i'm gonna go for ivan five and both versions of nine#and probably also the retconned version of five who was with the mogs since he was tiny. and possibly adam#MAGGIE. i'd like to write maggie#along with various au versions of all of the above lmao#selkie five sphinx ivan white deer maggie college student cody villain nine my beloveds#possibly others i'm forgetting#There's a Lot#RP tag

Prompt 16: Deiform
FFXIV 30 Day Writing Challenge
Prompt 16: Deiform
“Never… again,” groaned out Araki as he flopped into one of the chairs just inside the Rising Stones, leaning back far enough his head was hanging over the back. Beside him Arthur grumbled, his own head dropped onto the table in front of them, cushioned on his arms.
“So many moogles. So many,” added Connor, pulling his legs up and propping his head on them.
“And there was music,” Matsu muttered, seeming dazed and lost. He turned his head, the awkwardness of it betraying his exhaustion. “You all heard the music, yes? That cheery, entirely out of place music?”
“They had a bard,” Araki reminded his brother, not moving.
“So do we,” Connor replied, pointing at the lalafell sleeping in Llewellyn’s arms. “We never hear music with him, not like that.”
“Aye, closest we’re usually gettin’ is me singin’,” Brigid agreed. She dropped heavily into one of the chairs, William close behind. Her twin only patted her shoulder and ruffled Connor’s hair (making the teenager huff half-heartedly) before going towards the bar. The sounds of him putting the kettle on and getting bottles from the shelves soon reached the ears and horns of the Warriors of Light.
“What would we do without him,” Connor muttered, drawing a soft laugh from Arthur.
“Have to organize our own shit,” he said, finally pulling his head back up. Matsu’s hand moved slowly towards Arthur, and at his boyfriend’s nod, slowly brushed his fringe out of his face. Arthur leaned his face into the touch, relaxing slowly.
Silence reigned, at least until William brought over a teapot, cups, and a large bottle of whiskey and set them on the table. The assembled family poured and adulterated their tea to their preferences, Llewellyn waking Sammy up for his own cup.
“To Good King Moggle Mog XII,” Brigid finally said, raising her cup. The others did the same, and she sighed softly. “Long may his pom be leavin’ us ‘lone!”
#FFXIVWrite2022#FFXIVWrite#Warrior of Light: Ensemble#this one was hard#Like weirdly hard#also I love the idea of the Good King Moggle Mog music being diegetic#so there we go#also really what WOULD this bunch do without Will

WoW is still dead to me (unless Dragonflight winds up being okay I guess, there’s definitely a few things I’m worried about happening but eh), but no matter how far I distance myself I can never let go of the Varian feels in the corner patiently waiting their turn for the spotlight again. I miss him a lot but God, I have NOT been able to get myself into the hellgame for anything. This sucks.
#i've had a few pangs here and there lately so i'm being a weenie right now#i miss him so fucking much#but for some reason the very thought of WoW has been making me emotionally nauseas#my friends are like 'do mog runs with us!' and i don't even know how to BEGIN to articulate how unappealing that sounds to me#i would rather do ANYTHING else#idk i'm just being neurotic for some reason and i miss my husband dearly#king and lionheart

An underrated aspect of drawing 919 I forgot to mention in my last post: have you ever wondered why I have a tendency sometimes to draw the Wunsoc sweaters as somewhat large and baggy? I think it’s fun to imagine that they might grow into them, just as they’ll “grow into” their role in the Society :)
#this but also just to give myself a reason to draw baggier clothes which more used to and also just more interesting lol#nevermoor#nevermoor headcanons#you’ll see it more on mog and other shorter members of 919#other characters like cadence and hawthorne not so much#both bc they’re taller lol but also I feel like they’re more secure in / abt their place and role in wunsoc / nevermoor compared to others#like they’re both quite confident when it comes to their knacks and stuff#I think that in wundersmith mog mentions the uniform maybe being exactly her size ?#but sometimes making stuff up for the purpose of interesting character design is >>> canon lol#it’s not an exact science tho of how the sweaters fit. it’s different for everyone :) they all wear their uniforms differently#don’t even want to say I’ll make a 919 lineup soon bc I say that once a year and never get far but. I’ll make one in… the next 5yrs?? lol#I need to make at least like head turnarounds (sides / 3/4ths / front) for 919 and honestly lots of nevermoor#at least for myself so I can solidify their designs and draw them easier in the future#and perhaps from there I’ll move onto full body turnarounds or at least poses. who knows.#anyways ummmm. if you’ve read all this. here ⭐️.#I always love discussing nevermoor character design and sharing my own thoughts and hearing other ppls thoughts as well 👍
