Gothmog, Thuringwethil, and bonus Tevildo

i was digging around in my files and rediscovered some really old silm art of mine, including my original angband trio designs (mostly traced off heroforge models lol):

and they're actually pretty cool! thuringwethil's tail is maybe a little questionable of a design choice (how are you supposed to fly with a giant tail flopping around...) but it looks really good on gothmog.

i don't really remember what i was doing with sauron (he looks a little like early curufin for unknown reasons) and idk what the wrist things are supposed to be, but Original Flavor Thuringwethil was actually a corrupted maia of manwe (eonwe's sister?), hence the feathers instead of traditional bat wings. for Original Gothmog i am less sure about his origins but he is possibly a corrupted maia of ulmo (originally a sea serpent, hence the tail and ulmo style ear-fins) who basically dried up into a more stone-based serpent

anyways i think I might keep thuringwethil's face/wing design and gothmogs full design for future use

I saw someone on Twitter talk about how BOTW-verse Zelda wouldn't have kids, which would end the goddess bloodline and now it has me thinking like....did every Zelda...always end up having kids? For thousands of years? Was the bloodline continuous since Skyward Sword Zelda (which has to be like...hundreds of thousands of years AT LEAST at this point). It's interesting to think about in a scenario where a Zelda doesn't manage to have kids....how does the bloodline come back...

my coworkers are being turbo transphobic and literally refuse to listen to answers to questions they fucking ask argh!!! I can just tell you!!! I can just answer you!!!!! I have answers!!! to the ridiculous questions you ask in a mocking way!!!! if you listen for one second I can just fucking explain!!!! 😡😭😡😭

I think some folks MAY have gotten the wrong idea about how I feel about Circe with some of my posts. So, to clear the air...

Homies, I love that fucked up sorceress.

I love how we're never given a reason why she turns people into animals. That's so funny and so awful. And another potion-making magic gal?!?! I love that she's just basically vibing on an island doing whatever she wants. I even love the fact that she scares Odysseus shitless! She's morally gray and that's why she's FUN.

I just sincerely hate when people try to girlboss her or have her be a victim of SA when she never was Looking at you, Miller. Especially when she was actually the one who coerced Odysseus in exchange for his men being transformed back into humans. And even then, while he was clearly afraid of her, (it's in the language of the Odyssey) she likely meant him no harm after a certain point. He just didn't know that.

Why does she need a reason to do awful things? Why can't she just be a goddess who does whatever she wants? That's the reason why I love her!!! She's fucked up!!! :D

I hate what the Telegony did to her as well! >:( You're telling me, this sorceress goddess, who makes potions (!!!) wouldn't have magic contraceptives??? Would WANT CHILDREN?!?! WITH THE PATHETIC WIFEMAN?! No. Fuck no. Eugammon of Cyrene, I have beef with you 🤬

Anyways!!! Understand all the "#anti circe" I have is simply Anti "Girlboss Circe" or the book. I genuinely think she's neat af as her morally gray, fucked up sorceress self and just get frustrated with...everything :'D

okay. today i will go on a difficult mission. i might not come back (will ask i friend if they want to hang out)

johnny in canonically afraid of dogs, so maybe something from when he met Mutt for the first time?

(ah the irony of a man with a phobia of dogs befriending a werewolf)

Truth be told- Johnny didn’t realize there was anything wrong with Mutt in the beginning. 

None of them did, of course. She had kept her abilities and conditions under a tight cover that had been ripped off when they were both caught in a fucking ambush that left her with no choice. 

But even before that, the lass was…unsettling. 

She didn’t talk much. Which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, Soap had gotten more than used to filling the pauses of a conversation from his years serving under strong silent types who eventually welcomed him in as a friend as well as a sergeant. He gathered that she just needed time to find her spot within the team. 

She slowly warms up. He credits it to his determined needling of their latest recruit  because Johnny Mactavish is nothing if not a stubborn bastard. She’ll join them for drinks after a job well done, sit at his side during the mess hall and listen to whatever embellished story he’s spinning that morning and maybe if he’s lucky, she’ll even laugh. 

When she does, he tries to stamp down the unease he feels at how sharp her teeth look.

fun fact about me: i'm insecure about so many random things that i've never flipped anyone off in my 22 years of life because i think my middle finger looks awkward and ugly by itself

Me looking at official art: Ah, glad to see Lena’s been promoted to Flight Sergeant despite not working for the RAF for years. 

god im thinking again abt. malenia turning caelid into a scarlet rot wasteland and it was absolutely not what she intended. fighting and being prepared to kill radahn is one thing but they were too evenly matched, leaving her either no other choice but to unleash scarlet aeonia/it happened beyond her control because the goddess of rot would not let her champion die, functional empyrean or not (i always always think about malenia whispering smth to radahn in that final moment. she knew what was about to happen..) but malenia is not about destruction!!! conquest, sure, for miquella's sake but the age of unalloyed gold is built on ideals of peace and equality, especially for the afflicted, the outcasts. unalloyed gold is beauty and flowers and dreams. not whatever the scarlet rot turned caelid into,,,, and sure sure demigod slumber/malenia having to be carried back all the way to the haligtree sanctum and the timeline is extremely unclear (it is implied she only wakes up when you enter her boss room) but i also like the idea of her. giving up on it all. defending the empty womb of miquella's tree, again, sure, but going out and securing territory? beating back her siblings? after what happened with radahn, what she did to radahn...... + the implication of the next time she goes into god slumber she will emerge as goddess of rot / fully an avatar of an outer god; not only was her twin taken from her, leaving her with no choice but to await his return tm, the battlefield is also taken from her because does she really want to chance that happening again? h.

saw film girl omw to a shoot 😷

love understanding myself, but gently… not in the harsh, judgmental, over-analytical way i did as a teenager… just being like “oh huh, my enjoyment of this and my enjoyment of that actually have the same root if you trace it back far enough… isn’t that something?” it’s fun! i sure am a Little Creacher.

im a lil embarrassed that most of the posts ive posted (duh) as of late were text posts abt me being sick LMFAO n it feels silly to write this but i think i may log out of this acc for a lil while at least on mobile <3

I refuse to believe that Lilith will be taken in with anything this mf has to say. I don’t even care if it turns out that way in the narrative that’s character assassination. Yes she is the most powerful woman ever very cool love it. She has a darkness. But her heart is good.

Roadtrip Jurassic Bark... They go to the beach and Monty and Chica start looking at rock pools and don’t notice the tide coming in until they’re surrounded. Roxy, who was too afraid of this exact scenario happening is running around on the shore to find the coastguard and I’m wondering if either Monty or Chica would look at the big stretch of water between them and the ocean walls and think “I could totally swim that!”

Utter fools. Roxy fusses over them like no tomorrow whilst also reminding them that they’re both dumb as fucking rocks for attempting to swim back that distance. Baffoons. Clowns. Idiots even.

i’m brainstorming a character for an upcoming campaign and i realized last night i just made jean valjean

its honestly so funny how dividing the zdarsky run is to dd fans i am eating popcorn watching yall argue while rereading my silly little waid run
