... i mean, it’s usually Raph. but sometimes not.

not to be That Guy but

every so often I just search "Separate Ways" on Twitter to see general reactions to it and

overall, people are freaking out over the fact that it's not only better than but also longer than RE3make. there's also a bunch of pissed off fanboys crying about how they have to pay $10 for something that "was free when it came out originally," not realizing that Separate Ways very much was not free when it came out originally; it was $50.00 because you had to rebuy THE ENTIRE GAME on PS2.

and if you didn't have a PS2, you had to buy that, too. so, for some people, Separate Ways was actually hundreds of dollars when it came out originally. jackasses.

and then there's another certain subset of people whose reactions are just causing me to

matt is just like me fr

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ONE OF MY TOP FAV OCS

I've got such a bad habit of changing my entire aesthetic based on whatever fictional man I'm watching at the time. "whoa I wanna start dressing like that guy" no you don't. That guy dresses like ass. You just want to be percieved as a dude and he is one.

All the Laws Viserys Violated by Making Rhaenyra His Heir

Hi hi! I'm in the midst of writing a post about Otto's motivations throughout HotD and the portion about why Otto was so sure Alicent's sons would end up as heir when he pushed her to marry Viserys got wayyy too long so I'm just going to write it here.

I cannot emphasize enough how crazy it was that Viserys kept Rhaenyra as his heir. He has literally no law or precedent to back him up; every single possible precedent actually works against him. Full disclaimer, I genuinely think Rhae would make a good queen and support her over Aegon, but I don't think Viserys made her heir for the right reasons and I think because of the following he was setting her up for failure.

First, Westerosi laws of inheritance say that a woman cannot inherit if she has a trueborn brother. This has always been the case. Remember that as of right now Dorne is NOT a part of the Seven Kingdoms, so the Seven Kingdoms unanimous in its institution of male-based primogeniture. There is literally no region under Viserys's domain where a woman is allowed to inherit if she has any trueborn brothers. You'll never find any instances of a woman being made heir when she has surviving trueborn brothers. When we see women in power, like Jeyne Arryn or even Sansa Stark, it's always because they either have no brothers or their brother is occupied with another title. And honestly, in like half of these cases the title gets passed to a woman's uncle rather than going to her if she's the sole child.

Second, the Great Council of 101 set the precedent that even if a woman is the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, she should be passed over for a male. Rhaenys was Jaehaerys's heir according to Westerosi laws of inheritance as the only child of his previous heir, so she was even backed by the actual law and precedent. And the threat of war was dangerous enough that it forced the literal King of Westeros to concede matters of his personal inheritance and violate precedent just to pass over a woman. That's how sexist they are!!! They literally broke the law so that they could be MORE sexist!!

Third, Widow's Law specifically stipulates that it is not meant to be used to allow a woman to inherit over her trueborn brother. I know a lot of people think this law can actually be used to support Rhaenyra, but I think this ignores the context of the time. Remember, even though Alysanne wrote the law, Jaehaerys is the one who implemented it and is the only one who had the final say in its wording. And, as mentioned above, Jaehaerys straight up does not have the power to allow women to inherit, even when the law is backing him up. He's also a super misogynist and has proven unwilling to listen to Alysanne on feminist matters. So I'm not sure why people think he'd have the desire or the power to instate a law that says a daughter from a first marriage gets to inherit over a son from a second marriage. The lords would never allow something like that, because most of them use and discard their wives for the sole purpose of gaining male heirs and I guarantee there would be a moral panic about women getting too much power the same way there eventually was with Rhaenys and Rhaenyra. And not just the lords, but Jaehaerys would never allow something like that: They're all grade A misogynists, remember? That's why Widow's Law specifically placates the lords by assuring them that their precious eldest son can still inherit before even introducing the new law. Because Jaehaerys knew he wouldn't be supported if he said that women could inherit when they have trueborn brothers, so he made sure everyone knew he wasn't trying to do that.

So Viserys has 0 laws and precedents backing his decision, and 3 laws and precedents that his decision outright violates. And he keeps Rhaenyra as his heir anyways, out of guilt to Aemma. This is why I think Otto was genuinely flabbergasted by Viserys's decision; because he demonstrates remarkable awareness of the misogyny in Westeros and is fully aware that this WILL incite rebellion. He says it himself: It doesn't matter to the lords of Westeros how good or kind Rhaenyra is. They've demonstrated, time and time again, that they will not allow a woman to inherit a title, including the Iron Throne, if there are ANY trueborn male relatives available--AND that they have the power to force the King to let them decide his inheritance!

TLDR: Viserys really did Rhaenyra dirty. He made and kept her his heir out of guilt about Aemma, not out of love for Rhaenyra. And he did this knowing that it violated every single precedent or law relating to inheritance out there, and knowing that previous kings weren't able to uphold their female heirs, even when they had a stronger claim than Rhaenyra would have, because the lords threatened to start a war over it. And that's not even getting into how he completely failed to teach her about politics and did nothing to prepare her to become Queen.

This is also part of why people say it's not just about Rhaenyra's bastards. I fully agree that having them weakened her claim even further, but what you need to understand is that Rhaenyra was doomed from the start. She was doomed by the misogynistic laws, and by the misogynistic precedent, and by the misogynistic lords who never tried to hide that they'd start a war if a woman inherited the throne. And Viserys put that burden on her anyways, and put her and her children's lives in genuine danger, all so he could feel better about his decision to butcher his wife.

Look at the vees

It always bothered me how vox' color seems out of theme. Red, white and pink for val and vel, they even have hearts on their outfits.

Then there's vox.

Blue.

Ofc, hes got some red, but he's mostly blue.

So, idk, to me, vox just doesn't look like his outfit fits in with the group.

Okay, now look at this.

Horizontally striped long coats with stupid bow ties.

Idk, it just feels like they're on uniform to me.

I'm not good with concluding anything hahaha this is just me saying that this picture

matters.

ok i've finished writing that propaganda but it's got me thinking abt my queer stan headcanons.

is this anything. (check alt text if you don't recognize a flag btw)

i know it's a lot of labels but i think it'd be funny. many trans people in the fandom (including me) tend to have ford and mabel be The Label Stealers of the pines family but i think stan would have fun hoarding as well. he probably has like 15 other identities hidden under his fez or something

oh oh! for your sword and blade doodles could you maybe draw them training with meta knight? do you think they have certain exercises they hate or excel in particular? love your drawings by the way!!

First and foremost, thank you so much! It means a lot to know that others have taken an interest in my silly doodles of these two. ;-; Blade tends to have more energy to work with in terms of stamina; so running is for sure an exercise he'd enjoy. Sword on the other hand is a tad slower in pace and is more easily winded. However! Blade is not as physically strong and struggles with heavy weightlifting. Sword is naturally stronger in that regard- taking a bit of inspiration from Kirby Super Star Ultra: Revenge of the King, where Blade is replaced with Sword who just overall had a stronger/more aggressive AI.

Got a suggestion/ask for the dorks? Here's the post with some info about that! Thank you for the suggestions!

Happy Spooky Month!

Here we have Connie! (Who's actually trying to be scary... and failing)

Manny! (Who was just lazy with his own costume and only focused on Tulip's)

And Mama D! (Who doesn't understand the concept of Halloween, but she looks adorable as fuck so nobody wants to correct her)

Sweetheart doesn't talk much to her parents save for important things like birthdays or holidays because, while they respect her as a hero, they don't really approve of her still being a magical girl.

Both her mom and dad think her clothing is inappropriate in general but that leads to them bumping heads with her since Sweetheart brings up how the skin tight suits the heroes they compare her with are ten times worse than her short skirt and frills.

And to make matters worse, her mom also gets on her about her body hair due to viewing it as inappropriate for Sweetheart due to her being such a prominent hero.

When it comes to Bitterbat, they don't know about the two's relationship but Sweetheart can already tell they would disapprove even if he wasn't a villain. He doesn't really fit the idea guy they prefer her to be with since...well...the gender nonconformity of him is too much for their fragile brains.

They tend to bring up Freebird in relation to her dating and Sweetheart constantly shoots the idea down.

They also tend to suggest her moving to mainland America (Decking City is on an island but is still considered the 52nd state). Something that Sweetheart would rather die than do since the hero society in America is a big ole restricting headache compared to Decking City.

Plus Freebird lives there and Lord knows how much Sweetheart tries to minimize having to interact with that man.

It's all just a big can of worms that Sweetheart tries her best not to deal with so she minimizes communications just enough so they aren't cut off but they are at a safe enough distance that she can manage.

Look I'mma be honest every time twd kills off a long-beloved character at this point I'm just
