“Regulus would be proud of us,” James whispered quietly to no one in particular, still gripping onto the painting like a life raft.

OK okokok... gonna put this 'I just woke up' thought out there because this is tumblr and what else is it for? Someone has probably already said this and I haven't seen it, but whatever. I will throw it out anyway.
SO... Gale. We've all seen the posts where people quote the Gale lines about being naturally gifted with magic as a baby, a prodigy etc. and then point out that this is sorcerer behaviour.
BUT, what if... you're all right and it is sorcerer behaviour. BUT the orb feeds on weave/magic right? And sorcerers are born with innate magic... so what if he was born a sorcerer, then trained as a wizard, but the orb consumed his sorcerous magic. And that's why he's not as powerful as he once was, because, unbeknownst to him, all this time, he's been using that natural sorcerous connection to make accessing the weave easier. And now that's gone. Eaten up. Destroyed forever by the Netherese void.
And that's part of what's causing him pain. Because an instrinsic part of himself has been taken away. And he feels it like a phantom limb. Maybe he thinks it was actually connected to his relationship with Mystra, rather than a part of him, and that adds to his sense of loss from that relationship.
What if the first magic item Gale fed to the orb was himself and he doesn't even realise it?
#Baldur's Gate 3#BG3#Gale of Waterdeep#Baldur's Gate 3 spoilers#BG3 spoilers#Gale Dekarios#I looked up 5e sorcerer subclasses for this#because none of the ones I could think of would work for Gale#and I did not realise that one of the Aberrant Mind sorcerer origins is:#You were implanted with a mind flayer tadpole but the ceremorphosis never completed.#And now its psionic power is yours. When you use it your flesh shines with a strange mucus.#LOL!#How did I not know about this?#All origin characters and Tavs are Aberrant Mind sorcerer multiclasses in game and they don't even realise it#That one doesn't work pregame though I think it's hilarious#Is this why the game stops at L12? Because all the other levels are taken up by secret sorcerer levels?#but there's another origin option for Aberrant Mind that might work for Gale:#As a child you had an imaginary friend that looked like a flumph or a strange platypus-like creature.#One day it gifted you with psionic powers which have ended up being not so imaginary.#which works so well given Gale's habit of conjuring friends for himself#Storm sorcery - given his name this one's thematically nice - also it's adorable to imagine baby Gale flying around the nursery#Divine Soul is a maybe but do we really want to tie him to the gods more than he already is?#I don't think Shadow/Clockwork/Lunar would work for him

Okay, breaking my principles hiatus again for another fanfic rant despite my profound frustration w/ Tumblr currently:
I have another post and conversation on DW about this, but while pretty much my entire dash has zero patience with the overtly contemptuous Hot Fanfic Takes, I do pretty often see takes on Fanfiction's Limitations As A Form that are phrased more gently and/or academically but which rely on the same assumptions and make the same mistakes.
IMO even the gentlest, and/or most earnest, and/or most eruditely theorized takes on fanfiction as a form still suffer from one basic problem: the formal argument does not work.
I have never once seen a take on fanfiction as a form that could provide a coherent formal definition of what fanfiction is and what it is not (formal as in "related to its form" not as in "proper" or "stuffy"). Every argument I have ever seen on the strengths/weaknesses of fanfiction as a form vs original fiction relies to some extent on this lack of clarity.
Hence the inevitable "what about Shakespeare/Ovid/Wide Sargasso Sea/modern takes on ancient religious narratives/retold fairy tales/adaptation/expanded universes/etc" responses. The assumptions and assertions about fanfiction as a form in these arguments pretty much always should apply to other things based on the defining formal qualities of fanfic in these arguments ("fanfiction is fundamentally X because it re-purposes pre-existing characters and stories rather than inventing new ones" "fanfiction is fundamentally Y because it's often serialized" etc).
Yet the framing of the argument virtually always makes it clear that the generalizations about fanfic are not being applied to Real Literature. Nor can this argument account for original fics produced within a fandom context such as AO3 that are basically indistinguishable from fanfic in every way apart from lacking a canon source.
At the end of the day, I do not think fanfic is "the way it is" because of any fundamental formal qualities—after all, it shares these qualities with vast swaths of other human literature and art over thousands of years that most people would never consider fanfic. My view is that an argument about fanfic based purely on form must also apply to "non-fanfic" works that share the formal qualities brought up in the argument (these arguments never actually apply their theories to anything other than fanfic, though).
Alternately, the formal argument could provide a definition of fanfic (a formal one, not one based on judgment of merit or morality) that excludes these other kinds of works and genres. In that case, the argument would actually apply only to fanfic (as defined). But I have never seen this happen, either.
So ultimately, I think the whole formal argument about fanfic is unsalvageably flawed in practice.
Realistically, fanfiction is not the way it is because of something fundamentally derived from writing characters/settings etc you didn't originate (or serialization as some new-fangled form, lmao). Fanfiction as a category is an intrinsically modern concept resulting largely from similarly modern concepts of intellectual property and auteurship (legally and culturally) that have been so extremely normalized in many English-language media spaces (at the least) that many people do not realize these concepts are context-dependent and not universal truths.
Fanfic does not look like it does (or exist as a discrete category at all) without specifically modern legal practices (and assumptions about law that may or may not be true, like with many authorial & corporate attempts to use the possibility of legal threats to dictate terms of engagement w/ media to fandom, the Marion Zimmer Bradley myth, etc).
Fanfic does not look like it does without the broader fandom cultures and trends around it. It does not look like it does without the massive popularity of various romance genres and some very popular SF/F. It does not look like it does without any number of other social and cultural forces that are also extremely modern in the grand scheme of things.
The formal argument is just so completely ahistorical and obliviously presentist in its assumptions about art and generally incoherent that, sure, it's nicer when people present it politely, but it's still wrong.
#this is probably my most pretentious fanfiction defense squad post but it's difficult to express in other terms#like. people talking about ao3 house style (not always by name but clearly referring to it) as a result of fanfic as a form#and not the social/cultural effect of ao3 as a fandom space#you don't get ao3 house style without ao3 itself and you don't get ao3 without strikethrough and livejournal etc#and you don't get those without authors and corporations trying to exercise control over fic based on law (often us law) & myths about law#and you don't get those without distinctly modern concepts of intellectual property and copyright#none of those things have fuck all to do with form!#anghraine rants#fanfiction#general fanwank#long post#thinking about this partly because the softer & gentler versions of fanfic discourse keep crossing my dash#and partly because i've written like 30 pages about a playwright i adore who was just not very good at 'original fiction' as we'd define it#both his major works are ... glorified rpf in our context but splendid tragedies in his#and the idea of categorizing /anything/ in that era by originality of conception rather than comedy/tragedy/etc would be buckwild#ivory tower blogging#anghraine's meta

“Spring came with awakening, came with innocence and joy.
Spring came with fascination, and desire to deploy.
Summer came with restlessness and curiosity.
Summer came with longings for the things we could not be.
Autumn came with knowledge, came with ego, came with pride.
Autumn came with shamefulness for the things we could not hide.
Winter came with anger and a bitter taste of fate.
Winter came with fear for the things we could not escape.”
“Teach me of the forest, teach me of the trees.
Teach me anything, as long as you teach me.
Teach me of the ocean, teach me of the sea.
Teach me of the breathing be.”
“See me! I am the one creation.
Hear me! I am the love that came from [Animae].
Know me! I am the incarnation.
Fear me! I am the power held by [Animae].”
- Imago by Pain of Salvtion
I just wanted to do some Tenken art based of my favorite song since I feel it’s so fitting. Hope my vision came through tho. Tengen and Kenjaku was suppose to look at the child version on each other, remembering what once was, with different feelings about it probably. But I couldn’t figure out how to make it look right so I split them up in paintings instead lol.
There are a lot of metaphors and symbolism in this too ofc. My fav thing.
**Animae is a god in the albums story.
#curse Gene for only giving us one sketch of human Tengen and none of original Kenjaku#random design it is then lol#tenken#kenten#Kenjaku#Tengen#jjk tengen#geto suguru#suguru geto#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#jujutsu kaisen fanart#jjk fanart#pain of salvation#imago

a PSA about the chatlog iterators and how you can use them in fanon content
#rain world#rainworld#rw downpour#rain world downpour#rainworld downpour#rainworld iterator#chatlog iterators#epoch of clouds#wandering omen#pleading intellect#secluded instinct#gazing stars#faeling draws#have gotten a lot of questions about my chatlog iterators. i figured it was time to sit down and make an easy referenceable post#eoc and wo are my lesbian babies and theyve been that way since i made them#many of the chatlogs have been changed over time by the other writers but WO and EOC's original logs were more reflective of how i see them#honestly DP is noncanon to them as OCs because of the fact the logs were changed by other writers lol#so much of the logs were edited over the years that none of the iterators are super reflective of how i first wrote them#plus some new logs were written in the time i was not working on MSC which used the iterators#anyway i never clicked quite as hard with the others#i am okay with them being used pretty freely#their designs on the wiki are just remakes of the designs i made for an applebread stream in 2018#i'll definitely art dump all my EOC and WO brainrot on this tumblr later

if people were fundamentally good, we would not need Christ
#- HK#if people were fundamentally good it would be possible for someone to die without ever having sinned#and that person would have been born outside of original sin#and that person could have gone to heaven without being covered by the blood of Christ#'no all people will sin before they die' then what is the point of saying we're fundamentally good? what does it even mean?#if each of us is inevitably guilty of cosmic treason against God then none of us is fundamentally good#if you can look at YOURSELF and conclude 'I am fundamentally good' you are gravely delulu#I'm serious. you are not using God's measuring stick you are using one you fashioned yourself in your sin#remember that the root of 'good' is 'God'. you claim that you are fundamentally godly. holy. I wonder what God thinks of that.#when He says even your righteous deeds are as filthy menstrual (ritually unclean) rags#Christianity#x

Definitely don't knock your device's accessibility options. I was looking through my phone's accessibility settings last night, and wow, it feels like technology has really advanced since I first got a smartphone.
I've even found a setting that raises certain sounds I apparently have trouble hearing, and it feels like I'm experiencing the music I love with a completely different perspective. It's honestly wild because my first smartphone had like... mono audio, and that was as close as you could get to accessibility
#disability#disability advice#like i'm not HoH as far as i know but i do have some differences with hearing#honestly my biggest issue is. i can barely differentiate where sound is coming from. i usually guess when i can't see a sound's origin lmao#which i don't think disables me but it is harder when i'm driving i've found#there have been a few times where i HEAR an ambulance but i have no clue where it's coming from. like none.#and like... you don't even have to be disabled to use those features on *your* device...#...it's just that for many disabled people they will be heavily invested in making their things accessible#so while i'm not unable to use my phone if that hearing booster wasn't in use it still enhances my experience 👍#also live transcription???? that would NEVER have been an option with my first phone#i feel OLD (ish)

i'm fully prepared to be proven wrong but i don't think it's as simple as "norris is martin and chester is jon"
i think they're probably some of them
#again i'm probably wrong! but i'm thinking freddy as a whole is some facet of the web#and it's using their voices because that's just what it had from the original tma world#i don't think jon and martin are aware. and if they are aware it's not in any meaningful capacity#what's my evidence? none. just a gut feeling.#tmagp#the magnus protocol#magpod

Needed to post about it here too bc I'm going insane,,,🥹🥹🥹
Roguefort Cookie is localized as they/them in English in Cookie Run, but I've seen some debate over their gender in the original Korean; I've seen some say that they were originally male in Korean . But when I asked(in kr) about this on twitter, 1 of my korean twitter mutuals found this tweet directly from the mouth of Roguefort Cookie's designer, Artist G:
"Roguefort(괴도맛 쿠키) is a friend who is skilled at hiding the truth. Even I, as the designer, do not know this cookie's gender🤫"
THIS IS HUGE...... ARTIST G..... EXPLICITLY DESIGNED ROGUEFORT WITHOUT A SET GENDER IN MIND... CONFIRMATION THAT ROGUEFORT DOES NOT HAVE A CANON GENDER/ CAN BE CONSIDERED CANONICALLY NONBINARY... THIS IS HUUUGE ARTIST G IS A LEGEND 🥹🥹🥹🥹 they truly have given the LGBT community so much... 🛐❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
(Reminder that these are the cookies designed by Artist G so far.... absolute Legend....🛐🛐🛐)
#cookie run#roguefort cookie#crob#cookie run ovenbreak#i originally asked on twitter abt strawberry crepe roguefort and sorbet shark#and my kr mutual responded that theyre all male#(showing that its a popular hc ig)#and i was like wha really#and then they replied correcting themselves that none of them have confirmed gender and showed me the tweet from artist G abt roguefort#which made me scream#(and also snow sugar and poison mushroom dont have official genders and this seems to be known in kr fandom too#BUT YEA STRAWBERRY CREPE DOESNT HAVE A CONFIRMED GENDER EITHER#(and prob all the other they/them cookies too)#AND ROGUEFORT CONFIRMED NB#ARTIST G-NIM I LOVE YOOOOUUUUU#sidenote i think its p safe to say dark choco is canonically male tho#not only does the eng localization use he but the kr also uses male terms for him like 왕자 and 아들...#not saying nb dark choco isnt a valid hc but yea#he's... def male in canon kdfjdm

diversity win! this witch is bi... lingual?
#anise#murasaki#my ocs#scribblins#because i feel like dumping some worldbuilding:#witches don't really 'do' sexuality the way humans do#because their cultural understanding of gender/presentation is a lot different#tldr ambiguity and neutrality is the default and the specifics of someone's gender are none of your business#unless your relationship with the person requires you to know or they trust you#to the point where even asking for someone's pronouns is considered rude (you're expected to use neutral terms by default)#and even past that they don't have a perception of binary male/female or cis vs trans#you are what you id as and whether or not that's your 'birth' sex is irrelevant (most witches are a little gender fluid anyway)#anyway all this to say is that for anise being bi (or at least the same sentiment) is like... the default in witch culture#but in human culture while it's accepted it's still not the norm#and she's aware of that but knows she doesn't quite understand the full extent of how it's viewed#(hence her anxiety at telling mura)#wow i think this is the most oc lore i've shared publicly for a long time huh#to clarify... this has nothing to do with cs it's original verse stuff#the lines between my fan ocs and my actual ocs are extremely blurred do not ask me how it works
