Stuff and stuff

Its interesting to look at the difference in how she addresses the Knight versus Hornet

With the Knight, she explicitly calls it her spawn:

She uses the possessive (in the grammatical sense) "my", but then its followed by 'spawn'. Not 'child'. An acknowledgement of its connection to her, but then followed by a rather callous choice of word. It is of her, but it is not her child. The term child is not one reserved for it.

The term is, in fact, specifically for Hornet.

The White Lady almost always uses 'child' when referring to Hornet. In contrast to GMS, its clear from Hornet and the White Lady's conversation that 'child' as a term is not meant to be a cage. It is an aspect of Hornet, in relation to the White Lady, but that's it.

What's noticeable is that despite the fact that the daughter of three queens is confirmed, meaning that the White Lady did in fact raise Hornet, the White Lady never uses 'my' for Hornet. Hornet is not 'my' child. And I think that's very much on purpose.

It could be that it's literally due to the fact that Hornet is Herrah's daughter. But I think it's more than that.

I think its a separation between the White Lady's children and Hornet, for Hornet's sake. To be the White Lady's child means to be dead before you were born, or to be sealed or to suffer whatever else horrible fate she and the Pale King thrust upon them.

So she makes a clear distinction between the vessels and Hornet, a clear indication of what the White Lady hopes for Hornet.

And what she hopes for can only be done by not being the White Lady's child.

AU! Everything is good and well

Under my previous post a person left a funny comment, which inspired me to draw this.

None of them were offended by me not being entirely comfortable with them, just going "oh lmao yeah sorry I tried to kill you the last time we met, I honestly forgot humans are so sensitive about that kind of thing." Like mortals beings terified of death was just a funny cultural quirk they forgot about.

I met some demon/spirit woman whom I had met this way before (if you've seen Spirited Away, just picture her looking exactly like Yubaba, she was very close to that), and she remembered me and was both amused but somewhat awkward about the whole thing, going "oh lol sorry you must hate me now" but I reassured her that nah, I get it. If I had ever tried to kill a bug because it was annoying me by being in my line of sight, and later met that same bug as a guest at the same party I was attending, I'd feel really awkward about it too.

Then I asked her about that dragon boy she had had as a servant (slave?) that she had turned into a human as a punishment for something. I remembered her having him walked out of the spirit city while wearing a sheer silk cube suspended on some rods and attached to him with ropes from each corner, tied around his head in a way that forced his mouth open. I had to draw what the apparatus looked like because I still remember exactly what it looked like.

The punishmen wasn't just that he had to support the entire weight of the structure on the ropes tied painfully around his head, nor even simply this being an extremely public shaming punishment. The square silk block was also wide enough to take up the whole street at the narrowest points, so the people on the street had to move out of its way, and got angry at him for blocking traffic.

So anyway, trying to make casual small talk, I asked the spirit lady what happened to him in the end, did she ever let him go and let him go back to being a dragon. And she was like oh goodness of course, that'd be so fucked up if I had just left him human. And she immediately corrected herself like oh no offense of course, I'm not saying that being a human is inherently a horrible punishment. You must hate me now.

And I was like nah no I get it, if I had been dragon my whole life, and then got turned into a human, I'd hate that too. I also reassured her that she's fine, she's actually very polite all things considered. Most of the guests here had shown up uninvited, and most of them ahd not even thought of bringing the newlywed couple anything as a gift.

"Ah, those pale monarchs

so intrinsically linked, entwined so tightly,

but what purpose does the worm have

The big Pure Vessel sibling is a gremlin, always has been, you cannot change my mind.

i thought their screeching and slouching during the hk boss fight was because they were in pain, but no Pure Vessel in Godhome just fucking busts their armour and does the exact same unholy screaming and continues their zombie walk

At a Peak lord meeting there is a big argument over some rare beast and then LQG grunts and is like "I know who can help" and just leaves and doesn't explain anything. Then a few days later he's dragging in this guy so hot he makes LQG look like he got hit with the ugly stick. He is polite and excitedly explains all this stuff they needed to know like it's no sweat.

YQY asks if he'll stay in the sect for a little while so they can work together. SY agrees and from that point onwards is absolutely wifebeaming basically everyone who crosses his path. Rumor has it that WQW almost threw down with MQF over this guy. Xuan Su and An Ding have been active combat zones for days. Even that prissy bitch SQQ got mildly pink and covered his face with his fan!! Do you understand what this means?!

EM makes an offer to Morty to take him outside the curve in his ship as he as 2 seats, but Morty rejects. To which EM plays it off as a joke, but that honestly doesn’t make sense at all. It was a short trip why would you need a toliet lol. EM showing all the things the Ricks did was a way to show Morty how Rick doesn’t really care about Morty so that Morty would side with EM. (Rickmurai Jack)

In Unmortricken, EM takes Morty along with him, he literally comes back for Morty when Morty takes too long to step into the portal. He goes out his way to cover Morty first in the spray so they won’t get caught.

And in Something About Morty, Rick points out how Morty was only brought along so that EM could show off. EM only wants Rick to make Morty jealous. (Possibly pay back for how Morty rejected his offer to join him LOL)

Now with Morty having no empathy and acting much like EM, i really hope they make a bond together without Rick (i know a lot of people don’t want EM to make a comeback since he’s alr been focused on so much, but please i need more Morty Prime/Evil Morty content…)
