I wished for a Bioshock movie for Y E A R S
but now that we're finally getting one I don't want it
I do not have faith this is going to be a good adaption, I'm sorry, maybe 10 years ago this could have been a great passion project (especially if Gore Verbinski had been involved like originally planned) but I just know it's going to be an over-actioned, improperly funded (since it's a Netflix production they're absolutely going to either dump too much or not enough money in it then write it off as a failure if it doesn't 'perform' well enough), CGI-laden slop fest that doesn't even acknowledge or properly handle half the themes present in the series.
Tumblr media
#Bioshock#Bioshock Movie#bonus points if it only focuses on the first game and doesn't include ANYTHING from the tie-in novel or BS2#they're going to cut Sophia Lamb's role from the plot I just fucking KNOW IT#like she was fucking important! she was the one who actually STARTED the class war! Fontaine literally just took advantage of it!#hell half the problems with BURIAL AT FUCKING SEA could have been fixed if Levine wasn't a shit and hadn't refused to use ANYTHING from BS2#like is BS2 as good as the first? no but it's still fucking better than that shitshow you call Infinite!#and the tie-in novel actually quite skillfully blended both games together to help account for certain plot errors between the two#(a novel that Levine also REFUSED TO READ)#like you could tell it was written by someone who wanted to do the series justice which is more than I can say for most tie-ins#if this movie ends up actually being good I'll fucking eat my words but considering this director's body of work includes#the Will Smith I AM LEGEND and the last three* Hunger Games films#we are not batting 1000 for quality here#I say this as someone who likes the Hunger Games movies#but they are not really the best adaptions of the novels and really downplay a lot of the more horrifying aspects for action scenes#and I fear the same will be true for Bioshock's film as well.#like the Little Sisters alone should elicit nothing short of visceral disgust and pity but I just know they're going to be so boring#they're just going to be like pale girls with glowing eyes instead of proper blood-guzzling corpse-looting parasite hosts calling it now#croak.txt#reblog.wank

What an evil thing to do
Pairing: Lady Lesso x reader
Genre: angst (sort of)
Words: 1000
Note: English is not my first language so there might be some mistakes. I never expected my first fic here to be angst but here we are. There probably won't be part two as I might use a similar plot as part of a series I'm planning (and hopefully will write). I'm aware this isn't my best work but I need to get into writing in english somehow.
Tumblr media
You were sitting in your office late at night, grading tests from today’s lesson. Uniting the faculties of good and evil wasn’t exactly easy at first, but with time you all got a hang of it. Your students learnt to accept and tolerate each other and the teachers who had mixed classes, including you, learnt how to treat them equally. At the beginning of the year, you’d say their differences were almost insuperable… but today, giving out As and Bs for an identical test on villain and hero qualities, you believed the differences were almost overcomed.
You had the same trust in your relationship with Lady Lesso. You’ve been teaching in the school for good for some time, yet not enough to not be still considered new by some. Maybe that’s why you were asked to teach a mixed class, you didn’t have time to fully take up the prejudices about the other school and it’s students as your own. Obviously you were in some sort of contact with the dean of evil since you started teaching here, but she didn’t seem to do as much as bat an eye on you. Uniting the schools helped to change that. Suddenly you were forced to share weekly meetings with the teachers and deans, sometimes taking hours and elongating long into the night.
And all of a sudden, the evil dean slowly picked up an unusual interest in you. At first it was just staring you down during teachers’ meetings or breakfasts in the dinning hall. Then she started visiting you at the end of your class under the excuse of making sure her villainy students are given proper education. Then she started asking your opinion on different books, graduate students and their fairy tale stories or historical events. You were surprised she even read, and that she noticed you liked it too. But nothing can go unnoticed to the eye of Lady Lesso.
That’s how you slowly but steadily got yourself into a relationship full of secret dates, nights spent at each other’s chambers and hours of proving your love to each other. You didn’t have a doubt you two would overcome every branch thrown under your feet as long as she was by your side. Actually that’s exactly where you were going the moment your pen left the last test graded. The dark blanket of night has already fallen outside your window hours ago, but you didn’t want to leave your work unfinished to be done the next day. You still made it your point to go through the corridors basically unnoticeable, even though all of the students should be already long in beds with their heads full of dreams.
You did expect the light to be still on under the door of the evil dean’s room, it wasn’t unusual she was waiting for you to show up. If she got tired of waiting, she went on a quest to find you wherever you were at the moment and get you where she wanted to have you. She wasn’t one to be extra patient. However you didn’t expect to hear multiple people talking behind the closed door loud enough to be heard in the stoned hallway.
“Seriously, I’d never think the dean of evil herself will fall so weak.” You weren’t sure who her companion was, but they didn’t sound so happy with whatever was going on between them.
“I’m not! You better choose your word’s carefully Sader…” your lover exclaims through gritted teeth and you hear her significant cane move and slam into the other teacher’s chest.
“All I’m trying to say is, Lady Lesso, I never took you as one for love.” Says the other teacher in a noticeably calmer tone.
At that Lesso laughed so throaty she might even start grunting. “Please, love is a childish fairytale. There’s no love in villainy. Most definitely not anywhere near me. Evil doesn’t love.” She said the word with such hatred she might as well have a mouth full of snake venom. “And the goodie teacher’s pet? She’s nothing more than a desperate overachiever destined to burn out. This idea of good and evil together… it’s repulsive.” She mocked the younger girl with disgust.
“I suggest you better tell miss Y/n that. Have an awful night dean.” With that the other teacher opened the door to leave and you pushed yourself into the wall behind the door hoping to become one with the cold stone. You couldn’t believe what you just heard. Lesso wasn’t one for much affection, sure, she was more of a passionate person… but did she really think so low of you? Were you really just a pet for her to play with whenever she got bored of her evil life? You heard a shattering come from the room and at the same time you felt like it’s the breaking of your own heart.
Your breath quickened up paired with your thumping heart. Not really knowing how, probably thanks to your body remembering the way from muscle memory, you got out of the hallways and to the old bridge over the lake that wasn’t being used anymore. You could hardly see though the tears in your eyes, leaning on the low wall of the bridge. The rough stone was cutting into your palms, but all you could concentrate on was the words of the woman you so stupidly fell in love with.
Did she always think like that? Did she seduce you just for the thrill and fun? Were you just a naïve girl whose feelings weren’t important? Who she secretly found disgusting all along to begin with? Maybe she was right, evil couldn’t love. Yet you believed the two of you would rewrite this stereotypical rule too. Guess you weren’t that important to her after all. She got you entangled in her web of sweet words and passionate kisses and now you were broken and tattered by her cruel words. What an evil thing to do.

Hello!
I have read your rules thoroughly, and i hope this question isn't barred. I am an 8th house stellium (taurus-aries cusp) and scorpio moon. My sun is in taurus with some other personal planets.
I wanted to ask about my life purpose/career. What am I meant to do in this life? A little bit of a rant, but it's purely for context. I have had deaths and rebirths and felt purposeless for very long. I find myself unhappy in my current field/career/workplace working as a lawyer. When I was tiny I used to tell my mom i wanna become an artist. I'm very good at painting, I'm self-taught too. Any guidance is appreciated. :)
My initials are R. A, and my pronouns are she/her.
Thank you so much in advance!
Hello hello @priestessofthegalaxy! Since you are off anon you did not have to worry about putting in your initials but I do thank you for the kind words and politeness you have shown here! This definitely is something I think we can look into and as someone who definitely is in a similar spot, I 1000% sympathize with your troubles. I am unsure of whether it is the mentioning of having deaths and rebirths, but almost instantly the song Dream of Goodbye by Miracle of Sound came to mind as your song to accompany the reading. Especially this part:
"And I dream of goodbye Sinking sea, falling sky And I dream of goodbye No more tears Well's run dry"
To note: This song either can just be something nice to listen to, or perhaps there is a deeper meaning that lingers within the melody. At the end of the day, this is ultimately up to you on whether it resonates or not. The themes of the game this song was inspired by talks about deaths and "rebirths" quite a bit. With this in mind, let us go ahead with your reading!
To start, I decided to section this reading as what you are doing now and a general view of what that is like, what perhaps may be better suited for you (what perhaps would give you more fulfillment in this life), and advice on how to perhaps navigate towards what would make you happier.
Please remember, with readings nothing is 100% set in stone. Ultimately it is up to you on how you pilot your own life. You hold the key to open the doors you want to go through. Never forget that. <3

»»————- ➴ ————-««
Your Current Work (Seven of Swords) -
Before we dive into the meaning of the Seven of Swords itself, let us look at the Swords suit as a whole. This suit is of the element of air which asks for a fine balance of intellect and power. This is a suit that deals with the quality of the mind in your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. Right off the bat, we know your job at this moment requires a lot of brain power (makes sense as you mentioned you are a lawyer).
This is a suit that deals with action (whether it is constructive or destructive is up to you), change, force, power, conflict, and oppression (Just mildly chuckling to myself here as the song Dream of Goodbye ironic enough does hold hints of issues with oppression in it.). Remember that whether action is destructive or constructive, it does not mean one is always bad/good.
To dig at the Seven of Swords itself, it shows you are definitely having to play as a strategist in this field. There is a lot of deception in this place and betrayal and to me, it feels like you definitely are not enjoying this. Using even the imagery of this card, the person here seems almost surrounded by swords all around with nowhere to turn. Perhaps this could be how you feel here.
In this place, you probably have to try and put yourself first to get where you want or even just survive, and again, something tells me this is just not your forte. The Seven of Swords does note that you possibly are trying to leave a situation that does not work with you anymore versus dealing with it head on. Perhaps you are slacking off in your current duties or maybe are running away from the responsibility of it all. This is a card that asks you to face what must be faced, but do not assume this means you have to face the idea of being "stuck". Perhaps what you need to face is whether this really is a place for you? Can you agree with the current setting and the way the rules are held? Or, do you need to face yourself once more and really ponder on what it is that your life needs? Remember: There is no shame in falling down and getting back up. Everything is a learning experience until you are no longer of this world.
»»————- ➴ ————-««
What Would Be More Fulfilling? (Ace of Cups) -
Like we did before, I say we look at the Cups as a suit because not only did it show up as the "fulfilling path" card, but advice as well! Surely, that is something worthy of noting here!
My lovely friend, the Cups suit as a whole is of the element of Water. A fluid, agile, and loving element, the Cups deal with the emotions we hold. Love, relationships, connections? These are of the Cups. This speaks on intuition, healing, and cleansing, and I think you really are craving something to help heal and cleanse past hurt. Remember though, that water can be gentle and peaceful but be a powerhouse of a typhoon too.
So to dig at the Ace of Cups, I have a feeling what really calls to you is to dig into that emotional side of yourself. You mentioned art which is amazing! This is a card that does indeed speak on creativity, love, and compassion. Already from your comments, I would not doubt that art is something you are passionate about and I feel that a field with something creative and emotionally based versus having to use strategies and intellect 24/7 is more your speed. I certainly cannot blame you. Having to play mental chess all of the time surely would be exhausting for the people that don't enjoy that kind of life.
To me, I feel like this card also may be describing you as well and calls upon your love and compassion to flow through you into a creative outlet. Forgive me for assuming, but to me, it seems like you are a very kind and giving person who just wants the world to be a better place for everyone in it. You want to express your emotions in a creative way, and to me, I think it is quite evident in this card just how much that'd make your heart soar. I also wonder if doing something involving your compassion may be beneficial. Perhaps something like art therapy or a creative way to help others?
»»————- ➴ ————-««
Advice (Four of Cups) -
Man oh man do I love my cards, because I feel like 9/10 times, we are in sync and boy oh boy do I agree here. The Four of Cups is a card talking of meditation, reevaluation, and contemplation. As mentioned earlier, I think what needs to be faced is perhaps your feelings on where you are and if perhaps you really do need to leave. If something does not serve you, there is nothing wrong with starting anew even if it may knock you down a few pegs. However, the best advice I can give on behalf of my deck and myself is really spend some time digging deep on what you want.
The Four of Cups shows when new invitations and opportunities come your way, but for now you are saying "no" to them. Whether it is in a field that does not interest you or perhaps you have so much going on already, I really think perhaps you should sit and weigh all of your options at this point.
"I begin at the end Time will buckle and bend"
I really feel this part of Dream of Goodbye hits home here, as you are I feel at the precipice of a new chapter in your life. One door is closing, but another is opening for you. While maybe there is something nice that you want right now, carefully weigh all of your options. I don't think that they will fully go away but you need to be on solid ground before just jumping too.
The message the Four of Cups can bring is, "Not now, but maybe later." It may be disappointing to hear, but sometimes it is what we need to hear. It is quite recognized that you are dissatisfied with your current life for sure, but this is a time to reel yourself in and really examine what you are doing and your perspective on it. Reestablish the connection you have with your inner truth. Take a gander at why you may be shutting out possibly beneficial opportunities.
After all, you are the master of your destiny no matter how out of control you may feel. You got this!
»»————- ➴ ————-««
I hope that this reading helps you! Feel free to look back on it anytime you need and may you have a happy Samhain!

What Can Instagramm Educate You About Minecraft Server Files
Simply be aware that these steps are for servers running from a Windows 10 Laptop - the strategy to do that on a Mac or Linux laptop will differ. Be aware that you will need to buy a one-time account earlier than you can play it with no limits. Any change can be routinely saved. To change the order the servers appear on the listing, the participant can hover over the server they like to move and use the arrows to maneuver the server up or down on the listing. To change how a lot RAM "Minecraft" can use, you'll have to change the settings of your Minecraft Launcher app. There are a number of different launcher apps you might use, depending on what kind of mods you've gotten installed. If you need to extend how a lot RAM your server can use, this is how. From here, merely drag and drop the orange ball on the slider to your most well-liked RAM allocation. Fast tip: CurseForge, most third-get together launchers, measures RAM usage in megabytes (MB), not gigabytes (GB). 4. At the beginning of the "JVM Arguments" area, there is a bit of code that reads "-Xmx2G" or one thing comparable - the "2G" represents what number of gigabytes of RAM "Minecraft" can currently use (in this case, 2GB). Change that quantity to vary how a lot RAM is allotted.
Double-click the brand new .bat file to run your server with the new quantity of RAM. 5. Once the document is saved and visible in your folder, rename it "file server launcher.bat" - with out the quotes. This is the total Minecraft Server list. It doesn't value anything to get a minecraft server. Lastly, you could also be working your own Minecraft server. How can I play on a Minecraft server? Click on the download server hyperlink! Click on the 'Strive it Free' link if you need to put in a free trial. Step 5- Click on on ship account details through e-mail. To get onto a minecraft server, click 'add server' on the multiplayer possibility and kind in the IP of the server on the bottom field.

Click "Completed" to affirm, you will then be taken again to the servers listing. Without sufficient RAM, the game’s high quality might be low. If the server does not have sufficient RAM, it won't have the ability to load or support users playing on it, and any adjustments you make in-sport will lag. Then, you run it to make your personal server. 6. What began as a textual content document is now the brand new launcher for your Minecraft server.

AOT if you were sick | 𝕳𝖊𝖆𝖉𝖈𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖔𝖓𝖘
Headcanons on how some of the AOT boys would help/comfort you when sick! :)
Tumblr media
Characters: Armin, Connie, Eren, Erwin, Jean, Levi, Niccolo, Reiner,
Gender: Neutral, no references to readers’ gender ! :)
a/n: I haven’t been feeling well lately so badabam badaboom here we go. Also I am trying a new format because I’m pretty sure when I write the bullet points it looks wonky on mobile?...I dunno man :/
Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝕬𝖗𝖒𝖎𝖓 𝕬𝖗𝖑𝖊𝖗𝖙 ~
After telling him you’re sick...
Right off the bat, Armin would ask what your symptoms are. Immediately after telling him he’d rush out to the pharmacy to pick up meds, and probably some comfort food, too.
How does he comfort you?
Armin would comfort you by bringing you things you need like medicine, wet towels, clean clothes, food, etc. Constantly, and I mean constantly asking if you want anything.
He probably would also set up a little sick-station in the living room with a blanket, pillow, cup of water, wet towel, bowl of soup, etc. and put on a TV show you like and just...chill while you watch or nap (if you fall asleep midway through).
Would they take/call off work to take care of you?
Only if you were super sick. He would 1000% be worried about you while at work, though. You’d get “How are you doing” messages every hour, and he’d totally end up annoying the sh*t out of his co-workers for constantly talking about you being ill. Armin would probably also pick up a little snack/gift for you on his way home.
Are they still physically affectionate?
Most likely not. Armin would be scared he’d get sick too, and then you’d have to take care of him. If you begged him for a quick kiss, or you really whined for some cuddles, then maybe he’ll indulge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
��𝖔𝖓𝖓𝖎𝖊 𝕾𝖕𝖗𝖎𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 ~
After telling him you’re sick...
“Dang bro, that sucks.” And that’s all he says.
How does he comfort you?
I think if you asked him for something, he’d get you it willingly and eagerly, but otherwise he’s clueless; He assumes you’re good if you don’t say anything.
Connie would comfort you by hanging out with you. Most likely, he’d sit you down on the couch and play video games with you, like Mario Kart; or he’d show you him killing a really hard boss. I think he’d also send you funny videos/tiktoks, and I mean like, the really dumb ones, where it’s like...a fart sound effect over an image of a truck. Or a, “Can I touch that badonkadonk fool?”
Would they take/call off work to take care of you?
Yup, especially if you asked. I feel like Connie would take any chance he could to take off work, and you being sick would be his opening. He wouldn’t leave you alone all day, either; You’re stuck with him.
Are they still physically affectionate?
Connie does not care if you’re sick. You’re gonna get the same amount of treatment, maybe more if you whine and snuggle into his chest. He thinks you’re even more cute when you’re sick.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝕰𝖗𝖊𝖓 𝕵𝖆𝖊𝖌𝖊𝖗 ~
After telling him you’re sick...
Eren would say something like, “Oh. Are you alright?” If you said no, he’d make you a snack or ask if you want anything. Afterwards he would chill with you and probably cuddle or snuggle you. I doubt he would really worry, he’d be real calm about it.
How does he comfort you?
He’d bring you something if you needed it. The only time I could see him getting fussy about it though, is if you interrupted him while he was totally invested in a video game or on a work call.
Most definitely snuggles with you in bed. Probably would do something to tease you too, kissing down your neck and saying “Are you better yet? How about now? Are you better yet?” I can see Eren being totally down for an afternoon nap together anytime you wanted.
Would they take/call off work to take care of you?
He would ask you if you wanted/needed him to. If you said yes he would, even if you weren’t really sick. Likewise, if you said you’re fine, but were far from fine, he’d call BS and stay home too; if you kept saying he didn’t need to, it’s very likely his stubborn a*s would argue with you and take off anyways.
Are they still physically affectionate?
Definitely. Eren would still, probably even more than usual, baby the ever-loving sh*t out of you. There’s no escaping his cuddles, kisses, or more...sexual activities.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝕰𝖗𝖜𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖒𝖎𝖙𝖍 ~
After telling him you’re sick...
Erwin, like Armin, would ask what’s wrong right away. Except he would completely annoy you by asking a million f*cking questions about your symptoms. He’d probably google them too and list a ton of possibilities that are so far-fetched. He’d end up scaring HIMSELF and forcing you to go to the doctor.
How does he comfort you?
Up your A**. Every five seconds he would be like, “Need something? You’re sure? You’re sure you’re sure? I know I was here five minutes ago, yeah, but I’m just making sure. So you’re sure?”
Pets your head, ruffles your hair. Goes out to pick up medicine, snacks, maybe even flowers. Probably tries to brush your teeth for you. You know, Erwin things.
Would they take/call off work for you?
Y E S. Yes. This man would call off the whole WEEK. He wouldn’t leave you alone, either. The whole damn day he’d be breathing down your NECK. Even if the only discomfort you felt was a scratchy throat. He’d make you call off work too.
Are they still physically affectionate?
I feel like Erwin is on the verge of being either, “Yes, princess, let me hold you.” or, “Oh no, no, no, we can’t be having that. Oh no, no, no. No passing illnesses, sweetie.” If the second were true, the only way to get him off your back would be by threatening to hug him while snot was dripping down your nose. This grown ass man would probably be screaming like a (very deep-voiced) little girl and running for dear life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝕵𝖊𝖆𝖓 𝕶𝖎𝖗𝖘𝖈𝖍𝖙𝖊𝖎𝖓 ~
After telling him you’re sick...
Jean would be so FREAKING sweet, and nobody can tell me otherwise. He’d say something like, “Awe, baby. Are you okay? Want anything?” He genuinely cares; although, immediately afterward he did anything nice or caring for you, he’d text all his dude friends and be like “yo man I’m SUCH a good boyfriend.” and brag his a*s off.
How does he comfort you?
He’d ask every once in a while if you needed anything, and he’d randomly bring you stuff like soup or a fresh cup of water. He’d probably feed you it, too.
Depending on what you wanted, Jean would either leave you alone or smother you to death. If you wanted him to leave you alone he’d check in on you every so often, and if you wanted him to smother you, he’d literally follow you all around the house. I’m talking like, cuddling or napping on the couch/bed, or straight up just following you around like an overly-attached child. His arms would be around your waist, chin on your head, and he’d waddle behind you like a d*mn penguin. And that includes trips to the bathroom. He’d probably sit outside the bathroom and wait for you, though.
Would they take/call off work for you?
If you wanted him to, were really sick, or if you were incredibly pitiful and acting like you were on your deathbed. Otherwise, I think he’d still go to work. He would bring home snacks and flowers afterwards though.
Are they still physically affectionate?
Oh my god, Jean would still be all over you. Like, there wouldn’t be a moment you’d be free from his hold. He’d probably still want to have sex with you, too as long as you were feeling well enough for it...The only exception would be if you got too over-heated or over-whelmed, then he’d very sadly hold back. Like a scolded pup, he’d just sit there...watching you...wishing you were in his arms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝕷𝖊𝖛𝖎 𝕬𝖈𝖐𝖊𝖗𝖒𝖆𝖓 ~
After telling him you’re sick...
You would tell him you’re not feeling well, and the first thing this man’d say would be, “What is it? You have the sh*ts? Something not coming out?” He’d get you what you needed immediately after you told him what was really wrong, though; but he’d also, very discreetly slip you a box of anti-diarrheals, too, just in case.
How does he comfort you?
Every once in a while he will ask if you need something. He’s not too over-bearing nor distant. Although, he’s probably constantly slipping you hand-sanitzers, and cleaning your room, or anything you’ve touched. It’s for your, and his sake. Oh, and he’s not handing you anything, either; he’s throwing it at you to catch. Or slipping his hand through the door with a bowl of soup/cup of water, and placing it on the floor/nearest surface. Kind of like when a cat pushes their paw through a crack, then disappears, and you’re like, “oh, would you look at that.”
I don’t think Levi would really want to be too close since he’s kind of a clean-freak, so he’d comfort you through, maybe, sending you low-quality cat memes he found on the web. Or he’d put on one of those full-on, ugly, yellow hazard suits and hold your hand while watching a reality-TV show like The Bachelorette meanwhile mocking them to oblivion. You’re legally required to laugh at the comments he makes about the people on the show; he’s doing it to be funny. He’s just awkward.
Would they take/call off work to take care of you?
If you were pitiful, or not that sick, no. If you were genuinely pretty sick, then he’d call off work. He wouldn’t bug you, he’d just...stand in the corner and watch you. Just...he’d be there. Also still in his hazard suit. With his arms crossed.
Are they still physically affectionate?
No. Absolutely not. Not unless you’re talking about him and the cleaning supplies. I think if you tried to go anywhere near him, he’d get really mad and threaten you with a spray-bottle filled with water.
I think he would be upset, though. Like, I could see him having a calendar and just...sadly, squeakily dragging that marker down to form an X over the day to see how long you were sick, waiting ‘till you were better so he could hug you again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝕹𝖎𝖈𝖈𝖔𝖑𝖔 ~
After telling him you’re sick...
In a worried, but also kind of loving-scolding way, he’d say something like, “Geez, how’d this happen?” Immediately after he’d make you some homemade soup with fresh ingredients. Only after he would give you your medicine, because it needs a, “full stomach to work.”
Additionally, if he makes you food, don’t tell him if you can’t taste it. Please, god, don’t. He’ll feel like he did all that work for nothing then get annoyed.
How does he comfort you?
Constantly bringing you food or desserts. When he asks if you need anything, his mind jumps to a food or drink instead of medicine or a wet towel, because that’s just his strong-suit.
I feel like he would hang out with you and let you lay your head on his chest while you watched TV together. I picture him saying something like, “Hey babe, let’s watch Hell’s Kitchen.” Or, alternatively, “Hey babe, let’s watch Kitchen Nightmares.” Don’t watch Kitchen Nightmares with him. Those unclean kitchens will make HIM vomit, too.
Would they take/call off work to take care of you?
Niccolo probably wouldn’t call off, but he would make you a whole bunch of yummy meals for you to eat the next day. He’d probably leave you a cute little note too, like a “Feel better, love you! :-D” with hearts all over it.
Are they still physically affectionate?
Depends on what kind of sickness you had. I think if you lost your taste he’d draw the line, simply because he needs to be able to taste the food he makes. Also, it frustrates the sh*t out of him when he loses his taste. Otherwise, I think he’d be down to cuddle, and very limitedly, kiss.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝕽𝖊𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖗 𝕭𝖗𝖆𝖚𝖓 ~
After telling him you’re sick...
Gets VERY concerned. Wants to take you to the doctor, even if it’s a light illness, because he wants to make sure it’s nothing bad. He wouldn’t leave you alone after you tell him you’re sick, either. Constantly by your side.
How does he comfort you?
You wouldn’t need to ask for anything, because he already has everything for you. You’re surrounded in snacks, bottles of water, blankets, pillows, wet towels, medicine, literally anything you need, it’s already there. He’ll even offer to carry you to the bathroom, just so you don’t have to move.
Reiner would probably cuddle with you and put on a romance, family, or Disney movie. If it’s extra emotional, it’s gonna make him extra emotional. He will be squeezing you for dear life and just saying stuff like, “Boy, I don’t know what I’d do without you...”
Would they take/call off work to take care of you?
Yes, even if all you had was the sniffles, Reiner would have already called off, and make you call off too. He just thinks that’s what you should do if a loved one is sick. If he left you alone, he’d get worried you’d end up falling or unable to get something you need. He wants to be there for you.
Are they still physically affectionate?
Reiner would, but in a much more sweet way. He’s genuinely really worried for you, and doesn’t like seeing you sick. So be prepared for him to constantly be holding you with your head on his chest, and him peppering kisses all over your face.

Tumblr media
Hey guys !!! I hope everyone in this wonderful fandom is doing amazing <3 Recently, my friend and I have come up with a very interesting and fun event that we're hoping you all would like to participate in. We haven't really seen surprise prompts and drabble weeks for Levihan before, so we decided to make one! Also a very fun contest with cool awards too.
Getting straight to the point, the reason why this event is different from an usual prompt week is because we are only going to be focusing on drabbles here. (And also because the prompts won't be predetermined and given to you beforehand)
(Note: this is also open to artists and other content creators. We will be making another post tomorrow explaining how the event works for them. Till then, the writers can continue)
✒ A drabble is a short work of fiction of precisely one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity, testing the author's ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space. (YeS I stole it from google)
As a writer myself, due to the limited word limit, drabbles can be a bit of a struggle sometimes, and that is primarily the reason why this whole event is also somewhat more of a writing practice (other than the fact that we need to get those numbers on AO3 up haha)
Without wasting much time, let's get straight into the details, and how this is really going to work, what are surprise prompts and the contest and its awards of course.
Tumblr media
▶ How long are your entries really supposed to be? Well Google says 100 words but that's way too unfair so your fic should be = to or under 1000 words. The maximum you can go up to is 1500.
▶ Are there any certain prompts/themes these drabbles should be on? Yes, and that's what we are going to talk about next.
▶ And what are surprise prompts? Okay so remember back when in school, your annoying math teacher would take a surprise quiz out of nowhere without informing you? Yeah something like that but its not that bad. Also, its a lot more fun than math.
Basically your prompts will be given to you a day before you need to post them. so its really just a writing practice and there is no pressure, so don't think about the quality or something. This is about scribbling down something quick without a lot of planning.
The prompts are also going to be chosen from an OTP prompt generator, so they are going to be uhm interesting and fun to work.
We have a theme for each day (like angst, fluff etc) and the mods will choose 4 random prompts beforehand for each of these days. At the time of giving the prompts to the participants, we will run a machine to choose one randomly out of the 4. So even the mods don't know what the actual prompt is going to be for the day.
Tumblr media
The themes for each day (except Wednesdays and Thursdays, we will get to them later)
Angst Mondays
Trope Tuesdays
Fluff Fridays
Comic Saturdays (this is for the artists, so you can ignore it)
Smut Sundays
Now, here's the challenge (and probably my favorite part about the event) -- The prompts you get are not exclusively going to be in accordance with the themes for each day.
For example, you can definitely get this for Angst Mondays :
Prompt : "Levi having to rescue Hange from a pack of kittens/puppies."
Now its up to you, with the power of levihan on your side, to write an angsty drabble based on this prompt, (okay fine, the prompts probably won't be this off bat but still)
**Exception, : for trope Tuesdays, you won't be getting a prompt but a particular trope like (enemies to lovers, protective levi, caring hange etc)
▶ What time will you exactly get the prompt then? So basically, if Levihan drabble week begins on Tuesday, 25th May, you will getting your trope (prompt for the other days) around Monday afternoon-ish. And you are allowed to post until Tuesday midnight, before Wednesday begins. (Wednesday and Thursday are contest days which we will talk about later, so you don't have to worry about getting another prompt on Tuesday and finishing it on Wednesday itself)
▶How will you get your prompt? And any other details? We'll be making another post later where we will dive deep into the timezone specifics and how you will get the prompt, and what you will tag your posts with so we can see your stuff and reblog it.
You will get the prompt for fluff Friday around Thursday afternoon, and then the writers will have a break as Saturday is for artists. Friday night, you will get the prompt for smut Sunday you will have Saturday as a break in between before posting your smut on Sunday.
The same formula applies to angst Mondays.
1st June, Tuesday, last day of the week will be the prize day. We are gonna talk about the prize day in the next section.
Tumblr media
Wednesday and Thursdays (The contest days)
So, first of all, this is optional. If you are participating in the rest of the drabble week, its okay if you leave to opt out of the contest. Similarly, you can also just participate in the contest and not do the other days. It's up to you.
The people participating in the contest would be divided into two groups. There are going to be two winners.
Suppose we have group 1 and group 2, a random participant from each group will be chosen. This chosen participant is called the selector. Its purely luck and a machine that chooses the selector. The selector gets to choose a prompt (from a list the mods will give them) Suppose the said selector is from group 1, then the prompt they chose will be given to group two, and everyone in group two have to write on that. The selector from group two will do the same thing for group 1 members.
All of the preparation for the contest will be done beforehand, and the selectors will be informed before the week begins. The selected prompts will be given to both groups Tuesday night. By Thursday evening their works should be posted.
The word limit for Contest Drabbles can be extended to 3000 words. This is ONLY for the contest.
After all works are submitted by Thursday evening, there will be a voting period which will stretch till 1st June, Tuesday. During this period, group 1 will read group 2's stuff, and group 2 will do the same for group 1. Then they will vote for their favorite fics accordingly, the fic with the maximum votes from both groups wins. The mods will be supervising this, and reading the stuff too.
▶How do we vote? All the details related to voting will also be explained in a different post.
▶What are the awards? Okay, so one thing unique about drabble week is that there are going to be no permanent mods. We will probably have these events rather frequently, and the mods will change for each event. The mods will decide the awards so different awards for different months.
This month, the gifts are :
Well detailed and long comments on 2 chapters of a fic of your choice. These can also be two different one shots if you want.
Beta reading for a few (3-4 chapters) for any fic the winner wants (the other details can be discussed in dms)
The winners will have the opportunity/chance to become mods for the next week, next month. This is also a great way to make new friends and work with them while holding an event!
Tumblr media
To participate, PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM. The last date to fill in is 20th May, so do it before that. We'll be making another post for the artists soon, posting it tomorrow most likely. You will be constantly updated, so don't worry!
if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you so much, we will be looking forward for your participation! Much love.

Ok so I’m gonna go ahead and spit ball some Hiveswap theories despite the fact they may end up being incredibly wrong as expectations vs reality for the writing of Hiveswap is currently 6 feet under. This is going to be a long one, so to save y’all time the theories will be under the cut.
First off I’d like to state my own theory on the creature that that shot the train in the ending scene. Everyone is believing that it’s Fiamet’s lusus that did it, but why would Fiamet send her lusus to potentially hurt/kill Joey and Xefros especially knowing (or maybe she doesn’t) that Xefros is Dammek’s moirail? Honestly it wouldn’t make sense, given that she was the one that warned Joey about the world ending in 11 days. If it does end up being her lusus then she has a lot of explaining to do. Cause it kinda makes her a villain by hindering Joey’s and Xefros’ travel. Though I don’t think it’s Fiamet’s lusus. Here’s what I believe the beast could be-
1. The monsters from the first game.
We don’t really know the origin of the monsters from the first cut scene in Hiveswap act 1, and I don’t really think it’s all that much discussed. So where did they come from? Perhaps it was to do with something to do with the portal? Maybe. And we do know that the monsters can come in many varieties, including a monster with wings. (Though, more so bat wings compared to the feathered wings in HS:A2 final cut scene)
Tumblr media
2. It’s someone else’s lusus. Okay, so I’ll actually be going into depth of how the beast looks like in the final cut scene. And with everyone theorizing that Fiamet’s lusus being an axolotl, I’ll try debunking the “Fiamet’s lusus shot the train” theory.
First off, the beast doesn’t even remotely look anything similar to an axolotl.
Let’s first look at the couple of screenshots I have (apologies for the bad quality)-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Does that tail look anything like an axolotl’s?? The answer is no, but of a course.
Here’s how an axolotl’s tail looks like btw.
Tumblr media
Here’s some more screenshots of the beast that I managed to get-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, I know what you’re thinking- “But Erifin! Look at the side of the head! It obviously has external gill stalks like a true axolotl!!” That could be a red herring, though, as the things protruding from the side of it’s head could be fluff or feathers. And even it is gill stalks, and it IS an axolotl then why does it’s body look so different than that of an axolotl? Maybe because axolotl’s abilities of regeneration? It kinda seems far-fetched, to be completely honest. But who knows?
So who does the lusus belong to then? Well, maybe there’s going to be a new troll introduced in act 3 that will serve as act 3′s main antagonist Or maybe it’s just a wild lusus that itself will be the main villain.
So now it begs the question, what could this be? Well here’s some ideas I thought of:
1. It’s a weird lizard/amphibian and bird hybrid. It’s not the crazy for there to be a lusus like that, this is Alternia after all. I’m also getting some chameleon vibes from it. Though, this may be relating to the mythology of feathered serpents. Which, by the way, is a spirit deity from mesoamerica. Roughly around the same area that axolotl’s live.
2. A griffin. And yes, I’m bringing up mythological creatures into this. If the Pyropes can have dragons as a lusus then other trolls can have other mythological creatures as lusi as well. The body and proportions fit nicely to that of an griffin, even the tail!  However, griffins don’t breathe fire so it’s unlikely that this is a griffin.
3. A chimera, to me this seems like the most obvious choice, sense chimeras are already hybrids to begin with, as if number 1 is true technically this theory is gonna still be true (at least somewhat). Chimeras in mythology are a mash of an lion, goat, and snake, and I’m sure if the crew wanted to make creative decisions they’d also add in some avian wings in the mix. The proportions are similar to that of a lion, the fluff can also be it’s mane. The need to be on a rock, and keep low to the ground could a be a mix of a predators stalking skills and the serpent part. The tail? Obviously the snake head. Oh, and chimeras can breathe fire as well. However the goat part has me thrown off, so who knows if I’m even right.
4. And finally, number 4, I was somehow wrong. Somehow this was Fiamet’s lusus all along, and somehow it is an axolotl. Who knows, we probably have to wait another 1000 years to find that out.
That’s it on the beast theory, now let me ramble a little longer about certain hopes I have about certain characters that may end up becoming more important in act 3. Particularly the trolls that show up in the final cut scene. That is- Martsi, Cirava, Lanque, Tyzias, Elwurd, Mallek, Ardata, Chaut, and finally, Marvus. Now why would they be important? I don’t really know either, but I can sure take a fucking guess! And given that the train fell into a river, I guess one can go ahead and guess that many of the trolls on the train did die. And given that the train was shot near the rust/bronze and gold/olive carts I think it’s safe to say that the most fatalities are going to come from the lower bloods and not so much the high bloods (high bloods are tougher to kill after all).
Hopefully all the troll call trolls end up surviving the crash, but considering hmmm y’know I don’t think it’s likely. But, one can keep their hopes up! However, I do think the certain set of trolls that did show up in the final scene will survive. But why? What will they do that will earn them the chance to live? Let’s get into that.
Tumblr media
Martsi’s up first. She was the closest to the blast zone, so there’s a chance that she ends up dying later on. However, if she does live, and from what we have seen in her friendsim (regardless of whether or not friendsim is canon) she seemed to take interest in being a doctor. So I can see her trying to look for survivors and tending to their wounds.
Tumblr media
Next is Cirava, I don’t really know what Cirava would do, perhaps they decide to join the rebellion after being convinced by Joey and Xefros. Especially given that Xefros is starting to gain more confidence and thinking for himself for once. Meaning Xefros may go around trying to recruit some trolls to join him and Joey. Or maybe it has to do with something with psionics? Though, that would mean all other gold bloods are dead or passed out. I hope Joey and Xefros do get a party of sorts while they travel I think that’d be fun!
Tumblr media
Next is Lanque and Tyzias. Tyzias is a little more obvious, her want to change the system, especially the judicial system, could lead to her joining the rebellion. If Xefros and Joey are trying to recruit others she’d probably join in a heartbeat. Lanque is a little more complicated, I think he will die, but will come back as a rainbow drinker. He does have the title as a life player after all. I think he will die either because the crash killed him, or he died saving someone. I can imagine if the other jades do survive, they’d probably be very shocked. Personally I think Wanshi would take it the hardest as I believe he’d protect her, thus showing us a softer side to him. And as they mourn him he comes back! And it’s very much shocking for everybody! As a monster of sorts he may end up deciding to leave since he’d no longer fit in, since he’s technically dead. He could also take it as an opportunity to finally be free from his duties. His glow/immortality can even come in handy in certain parts of the potential game play.
Tumblr media
Next are these two, as for what they’ll do honestly I think Elwurd is just there for  fanservice and Mallek? Well, he may help with certain electronics if all the gold bloods besides Cirava do die. Like he takes apart certain parts of the train to make something? I do think they may want to join Joey and Xefros, but Mallek for rebellion moreover then Elwurd given we don’t really know what Elwurd’s loyalty lays.
Tumblr media
And then there’s Ardata. She looks very suspicious, no? She may end up becoming a more important villain in act 3. Overall, she looks very...............shady.
Tumblr media
And finally, the two eldest clowns. I don’t think they’ll join Joey and Xefros, rather I think they’re still going to be villains. Perhaps they decide to hunt Joey and Xefros down? Maybe they think they’re the ones who crashed the train?
That’s all I gotta say, I don’t think any of my theories will end up becoming true anyways. But hey, one can dream. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my rambling, and apologies if my writing is terrible and there’s grammatical errors everywhere. But what do you think? Let me know!

Question part! What do you think of Urasawa? I love his works because he constructs an entire world and has fully flesged out characters who drive the action through personal motivations. He can make some missteps story wise, but his stories feel like worlds you can fully live in. Just curious what your take on him is....
I wrote a whole career survey of Naoki Urasawa back in 2004-- nothing that’d age well or was worth reading, but that was before he was licensed in the US so I was just reading scanlations off of IRC (this was just at the cusp of Bittorrent if I remember right-- like, Youtube was a year old?  My failure to buy Bitcoin cheap was years ahead of me...).  He’d just started Pluto I think, and 20th Century Boys was at, I think, 15-17 volumes in.  I remember what I wrote being kinda lousy but if I ever collect a best of, and tune it up and put together some kinda director’s cut, I guess I’d include that in there (it’d take a lot of tuning up!)... I was always proud of being ahead of the curve on the guy, though, and he’s one of my guys, because I like his work but also just for having had that experience.
I think people in the US have a very distorted picture of Urasawa though-- partly, at his design!-- because they haven’t brought over all his work, so things like Happy or Yawara, his comedic work, hasn’t been seen.  I think that’s at his request...? (I hadn’t seen Master Keaton in 2004 or that Pineapple Army one, but I don’t really rank Master Keaton high anyways-- that’s not my book for him).  (The bigger problem being where the hell is Billy Bat?  I didn’t scanlate that out of respect, and because back when it started, I wanted to have a shared experience of it when it came out in the US with other US fans that I didn’t get to have with his other work.  But maybe I’ll cut out that respect shit later this year because boy do I ever not want to share experiences with US fans anymore-- jesus).  Anyways, not that I’m saying that Happy or Yawara changes the picture considerably but that... Urasawa to me’s a mass audience entertainer, he’s like a Stephen King type guy, or a Spielberg or something, more than some artiste, and I think only seeing him in thriller-mode in the U.S. just doesn’t present the full picture of the guy, his bedrock desire to just entertain a reader in any/every way possible to him.  
That and I think how Urasawa was received was badly distorted by his breakthrough in the US work being Pluto.  Because it was the closest to an Ultimate-style superhero comic.  And it’s a nice book, but I wish it had been 20th Century Boys instead.  So many people seem to believe there’s this value in “reinventing” or “Rebooting” or whatever, I saw Pluto cited in some discussions of books that were just rebooting stupid trash, that they miss that there’s a difference:  Urasawa did a reboot when he was at the peak of his career from his own work, paying homage to Tezuka, who was a peak creator-- it’s two top creators having a conversation with each other.  It wasn’t just that he was in an industry that was like “well, we need ___ number of Astro Boy SKU’s” and was incapable of creating a Monster, a 20th Century Boys, a Yawara, etc., or a career that varied or full or prolific.  Boring Reboot XYZ is usually missing that conversation quality... 
But overall, you know:  I think Monster’s a mess but an enjoyable one; I liked Happy more than other people though it’s, you know, not essential comics; I like Pluto but I don’t like it as much as other critics because I get my back up about how they rep the “wrong” Urasawa pick; I had a nice time with Sneeze (and that comic about the little girl he just did-- that one I read the first volume of on scanlations actually come to think of it), though it’s all minor, minor key stuff; and for me, I think his essential work is 20th Century Boys.  The problem with 20th Century Boys, maybe the same problem to Monster (though I think Monster is easily the less interesting of the two) is it just goes on so long that its strengths get lost in the pornography of its plot, all those apocalypses, all that rushing around into and out of virtual reality flashbacks, he gets undercut by how prolific he is (which is a weird thing to say when you’re 600 chapters into One Piece but), but... 
At its core, 20th Century Boys is a kind of story that I get very excited about which is the guy who has succeeded as an entertainer kind of turning back and going “I don’t know if I feel good about all the time I spent consuming this entertainment even though I love it.”  I always see a continuity to the stuff I like, like Kojima or Kill Bill (I’ve been thinking a lot about Kill Bill lately on my commute), so maybe it’s all in my head.  But... 20th Century Boys, as the title suggests, is very much Urasawa going “being a kid and having this pop culture, we ended up pretty screwed up, huh?”  There’s even that wonderful scene where the bad guy builds his own Gundam or whatever it is, and it’s all paper mache and run down and kinda sad. 
And you know, I think the story is really about, if you don’t let that stuff go, it’s going to be the end of the world... It’s not subtle!  It’s very much a “maybe this shit isn’t healthy to keep in your head too long” work (and I imagine that stuff lands harder in Japan with the stuff they’ve had to work through-- they’re ahead of the curve than we are with people just checking out and going to live in fictional spaces)(we’re not headed the right way, though, and god only knows what that looks like post-COVID... no guesses there... I miss the world but when it comes back, how long before the “don’t take just sitting in a bar for granted” wears off?  This was the third act of Judd Apatow’s Funny People, the massively un-entertaining portion when Sandler gets better, the part where the girl I was with just kept saying “I don’t like this” out loud over and over in a crowded theater, to I’m sure the delight of many people around us, who shared her sentiments).  
But until it winds its way to finding a reconciliation, and saying, “you know, it meant something to hear that rock music in that moment, and that feeling was what mattered” at the end.  (I’m talking off my ass here, I don’t really remember it 1000% clearly, that’s just how i remember that end, how it ends... I remember not LOVING the end at the time I read it, but that was one that kind of worked better as I (a) forgot it and (b) sat with it...) (That hasn’t happened with Monster though... I still don’t really love the end of Monster...).
I don’t know-- I’ve lost track of what I’m saying.  Anyways: I like Urasawa.  I like when he just draws talking head stuff-- seeing him do that was a *BIG DEAL* for me in 2004.  That was something that’s still a big deal for me.  I don’t think I knew you could do that, really, you could just make a comic of two guys talking and talking and talking, and have it be riveting, as much as when I watched him do that back then.  (He moves his “camera” in such careful ways, and he’s never just doing lazy ass wide screen or repeating panels like that Mark Bagley Venom thing that went around-- it’s always a varied layout but he’ll vary the angle from 3/4ths to profiles to head on shots, and change the panel shapes to themselves reflect the emotions of what’s being said and so on and so on and so on). (He talks in his master class about making sure the gutters horizontally are smaller than the ones vertically, so the reader instinctually knows to read a row before skipping to the next row...?).  I read like all of Monster while I was super-sick with a head cold and could barely move, and it was one of the best “comic experiences” of my life so (which puts it above stubbing my toe and below a sandwich I ate once from Subway)... So yeah, I feel strongly about the guy.  I just think of him biographically at this point.  Good? Bad?  Finding out about Urasawa was part of my life.

VOC’s Review of the art of Magic The Gathering Core 2021
I an no art expert. Never studied art professionally. But I do consider myself a Vorthros (someone who appreciates the art, story, and flavor of Magic The Gathering). So I have been wanting to this for a while so let’s try it. If this is liked then maybe I will do it again for Zendikar Raising. I’m not going through every card in the set. Just a handful that really stood out to me and I just want to talk about.
Tumblr media
Indulging Patrician by Miranda Meeks
Normally I like to save the best for last but this one is so obviously the best art in the set that I need to lead with it. When I first saw this card revealed my jaw dropped. It is purely captivating! It embodies what vampire artwork wants to be. From the powerful dominant vampire woman in the center, to her poor powerless victim, to the beautiful blood moon behind her, to the swarm of ominous bats, all highlighted with blood. Of course the traditional gender role reversal feels so perfect and not forced here. It is a beautiful artwork and you should want to play Magic just to look at this card. 
Tumblr media
Liliana's Scorn by Josh Hass
We are not moving away from the gothic horror yet though. This is sadly a card that most players will never see as it isn’t in the Core 2021 booster packs but is in the Liliana planeswalker deck. Making this art very easy to overlook but quite impressive when examined. You really feel the struggle of the victim as he fights a losing battle against a horde of zombies. Being in the center you might think he is the protagonist that we cheer on to escape but Liliana even in the backgrounds steals the scene and you know she wins this fight. This is just a great group piece where each individual zombie displays a surprisingly amount of depth which truly makes this piece feel even more hopeless for the poor victim and even more empowering for Liliana.
Tumblr media
Basri's Solidarity by Paul Scott Canavan
Basri Ket is a new planeswalker in the set but instead of looking at him directly let’s check out his magic instead. This is a piece that perfectly embodies cooperation and teamwork, Each figure looks quite a bit different, has a different background, and a different specialization. Yet they are all subtlety bonded together through the sand that basri controls. The way it wraps around and protects them all it a cool and powerful effect.
Tumblr media
Obsessive Stitcher by  Joe Slucher
And we are back to dark and creepy. But I can’t ignore in crazy details in this artwork. On Innistrad, the doctor Frankenstein-like scientists that create ‘zombies’ though alchemy and science rather than straight-up necromancy are called “Stichers”. And this one piece explains all that without any words (except for the 1000 words a picture is worth). The corpses all have different faces showing that this is not simply a construct made from a generic stock but instead were actual living human beings at one point. The ominous green vat behind her is hooked up to them pumping them full of something that can’t be good. Plus we also have ominous test tubes in the background to really hammer in the point of “evil mad scientist”.But then her actual clothes has lots of handy tools to show a devoted craftsman. As she literally stitches thread through not only her diabolic experiment but also her passionate artwork. And finally I did not even notice until seeing the enlarged art but she is missing her right hand! I assume this counts as positive disabled representation right?
Tumblr media
Village Rites by Bud Cook
I promise this is the last dark and creepy card (maybe) on the list but I have to give this one a shout-out. It is a throwback and homage to the card Village Cannibals from Innistrad. Even the same artist. Definitely one of my all-time favorite MTG arts so I am very happy to see a remake of that art! It is nice when Magic throws in the little nostalgia winks randomly.
Tumblr media
Tolarian Kraken by Svetlin Velinov
Magic will often use what they call “Scale Birds” to show how big something is. These are tiny birds near a creature to show how much bigger the creature is than the birds and give a size comparison. Sometimes birds are too small and they use something like “”Scale Deer” or other mammals. Well then those are still too small we now have a “Scale Castle”! What is more terrifying than a Kraken this big! As if that isn’t bad enough it’s brain is actually visible and has like lightning coming from it or something. This feels like a very epic piece where you can feel the motion and terror from it.
Tumblr media
Daybreak Charger by Forrest Imel
The next several arts are going to be under the category of “Things MTG does all the time but needs to make it new each time.” I feel it is most appropriate to start with this unicorn. You see unicorns take occupy a very unique position in both general fantasy genre and pop culture itself. Unicorns are very recognizable so they are very much a great fantasy trope to include. But they also have a reputation of being aimed at “young girls” and in the process made to seem very soft and non-threatening. MTG is a game about combat! You don’t want to summon a gentle non-threatening creature to fight for you but it wants to have unicorn cards. Meaning it wants “badass unicorns!”. Well they absolutely succeed here! But the beautiful thing is they need to over-correct. It wasn’t necessary to paint it all black and cover it in blood. We don’t need to put it on a heavy metal album cover to show its fierce side. Instead bright light is used in a way that makes it seem comforting but also powerful and not to be messed with. This is a unicorn that you are relieved to be on your side and terrified of seeing on your opponent’s side. That takes serious talent to bring it all together! 
Tumblr media
Chandra's Incinerator by  Craig J Spearing
First I apologize that this art is a little cropped from the original. What is another thing that shows up all the time in fantasy art? FIRE! It gets hard to draw fire so often and make it feel different. This is a fire elemental so that is a bit different but still something we have seen a lot. The card Fire Elemental was in the very first Magic set. That card has had 4 different artworks and 3 other cards have some for of Fire Elemental in their name (Deepfire Elemental, Firefiend Elemental, and Wildfire Elemental). This one is clearly meant to be a nostalgic nod to the original art and it works so well! The fire is so detailed and intimidating but the creature is very expressive. It is very refreshing to see yet another Fire Elemental in such a new fashion and perspective.
Tumblr media
Terror of the Peaks by Andrey Kuzinskiy
How many times have we seen a dragon in MTG? Over 200 times!! This set alone has 3 dragons! We have seen zombie dragons, skeleton dragons, dragons who breath lightning, dragons that breath frost, dragons covered in metal, and all kinds of other dragons. But sometimes you just need to go back to basics. But basics do not need to be boring. As we see here this is an awesome basic dragon that embodies everything you think of when you think of dragons yet still blows you away with how awesome it is! This is quality dragon art
Tumblr media
Shacklegeist by Igor Kieryluk
Ghosts and spirits are again a common trope that gets redone a lot. I really like how this piece can just take a mundane object with some symbolism behind it and just make an entirely new creature from it. This is basically a giant lock with ominous chains attached being held by a specter and it all works so well together! This art style being more watercolors is a nice final touch to give this piece a spooky feeling but also a really cool feeling too.
Tumblr media
Rousing Read by Campbell White
I am going to end this with a bit of a weird piece but I didn’t want to leave it out. This is apparently a follow-up to the card Hard Cover from the core set before. This guy has magical wings made from the pages of a book! Like I don’t have anything else to add. That is cool enough by itself.
Special Mentions
Alchemist's Gift, Chandra Heart Of Fire, Garruk’s Uprising, Peer Into The Abyss, and Sanguine Indulgence. All cards with awesome art but I don’t want this post to go on forever (and some of them I couldn’t find good clean versions of just the art). Please tell me what art from Core 2021 I missed that you really liked!
