Boy oh boy do I have some doodles for ya besties (*´▽`*)
First off we have a bit of a "what if" situation where kallamar isn't afraid of the red crown. (With and without text) and thus my silly little braincells done hatched this idea last night hue
And now for some misc Pearl Collar doodles
We got kally being stupid. Venado berating kally in spanish over how disgusting his bandages were. And them stargazing during the last few hours of a day of rest while venado tries to stay awake for kallamar's sake. (*/▽\*)

Comic sans method don’t fail me now- I’m writing a vague societal structure for sheep and sacrificial sheep.

thank you for the long & thought out response. while i do fully agree with you on stances like prison abolition & the myth of the stranger pedophile scapegoat, my question and discomfort with jimmy’s actions comes not so much from a political/philosophical standpoint but from a very human emphatic one. i put myself in the shoes of the girl he groomed and abused and imagine people listening to and enjoying the music of my abuser and it makes me sick to my stomach. so thats more where my guilt and discomfort comes from. that said i can’t say that their music doesn’t have an impact or isn’t enjoyable. i also agree with you that this mass outrage and very public renunciation and demand for punishment is very much a social mechanism and automatic reaction that quite simplifies a complex situation. however these mechanisms exist for a certain evolutionary purpose after all (sorry my background is psychology) but thats sort of besides the point because im also not a fan of how these things get handled with zero nuance.
its also true what you said that me or you or anyone deciding to disengage with this band or their music changes nothing in the grand scheme of things, so doing it as some sort of Noble Cause against abuse is useless. so in this case i feel it’s up to personal preference and whether or not i can swallow the cognitive dissonance and discomfort this information arises in me whenever i listen to their music from now on.
thanks again for the insightful response, i’m glad we can have this sort of discussion because i also think this topic is extremely important but people often shy away from it because it’s so heavy.
im glad you asked me to share! like i said ive spent a lot of time thinking abt this specifically so its very much like years worth of mishmash thoughts kinda strung together only by me experiencing them over time in succession lol. but i agree its important to talk about it especially within a culture so ensnared in the logic of the prison and particularly how effectively thats been exported into like 'mob justice' for lack of a better word.
re: the emotive aspect im not sure i have much to say other than like Yeah its a very strong one and i dont think its a bad thing at all to have. i got the impression from ur ask--and idk how true this is--that you were wrestling between a desire to return to the music bc you enjoyed it and that response preventing you and feeling a sort of obligation to do one over the other n struggling with that. so i think i approached it as like 'heres ways you can reason w that emotional response and grapple w it if its smth ur agonizing over' or something like that. im also a firm believer in the ways politics shapes the ways we think n feel so my instinct was to tease out some of the structures that may be shaping ur thought processes--which of course i nor anyone but you can fully know. but i dont get that same sense from how u describe it here and either way i think whatever feeling ur having about it is like...i dont want to say its 'valid' but ur allowed to have that and do whatever you want pretty much lol. i cant and am not going to force anyone to engage w the band and theres probably more reasons than i could think to list why its not for everyone even without the sordidness of abuse hanging over it.
without getting into a much much broader discussion i would gently push back on the idea of a biologically innate reason for the existence of carceral/punitive logics (and frankly psychology more broadly), if only bc it does a lot of the work of justifying them. keep in mind that these are concepts ideas and patterns of thought that exist because they serve systems of power and particularly the state. we did not have to have a society which created them, we only happen to--which is to say theyre not innate in this way and i disagree that they have an 'evolutionary' purpose bc it fails to properly historicize them. but thats me coming from an antipsych position lol

i just woke up from like, the most vivid dream of me storyboarding an mlp au fanfic where starlight glimmer stayed in her town post-reformation and make amends with her townsfolk by expanding their town into a massive urban center, rivalling even manehattan on the east coast.
it's got some stuff about the folks of our town reshaping their cult ideology into something that's genuinely focused on welfare of its people and egalatarianism and social equality
there's something that fleshed out why the townsfolk stayed behind in starlight's town after s5 premiere, some stuff about the town gaining political autonomy from canterlot.
and when i woke up i could not remember a single word of it. so now i'm just sad, because dream me was genuinely excited about coming up with something really cool to add to the mlp universe.

i was thinking about the bap crew parents again and I Haven't shared much info about them </33 long story short the majority of them are in a Messy polycule (only messy bc malcolm (sophia's dad) doesn't really tell his wife (penelope) about it and also he and penelope dont actually love each other (dont get married to appease your dad who's sorta in charge of a cult guys))
but anyways. nic (rebecca's dad) has had an on and off relationship w/ malcolm in which he's tried to convince malcolm to leave the cult and Not to raise children in that hell (he. did not listen <3) so thats Really messy (nic is really in love with malcolm and juliet (rebecca's mom) knows this and is okay w/ it but she also wishes that malcolm would listen too (she cares about him) but also malcolm is really repressed with how he actually feels about nic and wont admit how much he loves him) (oh and nic and malcolm met and were bffs when malcolm was younger and was allowed out of the cult to meet other people and thats when their relationship started (and a wife. yk))
also nic & juliet are dating blair's dad (jason) and they are healthy !! <33 very lovely and loving however jason's wife (maria) is not a good person :( and they don't have a loving relationship however she's aware of jason's relationships and despite the fact that they've talked about the relationships and are Supposed to be open, she doesn't tell jason about her hookups with other people (including her kinda-sorta-not-really relationship with penelope- who also doesn't mention anything to malcolm)
anyways that was a lot of info on people yall Do Not know and wont be Main parts of the show tbh but if yall have questions i would love to hear them i've made up so much unnecessary lore for them </3

it took about a day and a half but im done with the dlc and all i can say is WOAH WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON
ill leave my initial thoughts under the cut
alright.
in terms of gameplay i think the game is still hella broken but it feels a lot more fair now. the difficulty is apparent, hardmode feels like hardmode and i actually had to be smart about how i went through the dungeons. im excited to go through purgatory and change up the way i play now since I've always just thrown myself in over and over. The visuals are disgusting im really happy to see them lean into that grotesque vibe, especially darkwood.
lorewise THERES SO MUCH TO UNPACK. they really filled this thing with a lotta lore but also not enough? i hope in future updates they give the other npcs quests or dialogue bc i love them and i want to have more things to do in game
im happy that very few of my pre-dlc hcs have changed! the ones that got ripped to shreds were related to the bishops (but thats another post). overall the update was a little itty bit fanservicey but not too much so at the same time. the central theme about choice still stands, even when youre given the tools to do everything and anything its still thrown at the player that its their decision to utilize them.
also fuck narinder he still wont give me his stupid quests >:(
