WONDERFUL news bestie

^^ last one there is a drawing on my incredibly old ipad and stylus that somehow still works after being dormant for years + my stylus would lag at every stroke so. yea :')

HTP fans who can't let go of TTS are a plague on HTP and its fandom. I get that OP make references and stuff, but why, why, why, do these people have to insist on seeing everything through a TTS lens and referring to the characters as if they're just TTS characters in a moustache?

It feels really....Dismissive of the work that goes into HTP to treat it like it's just a proxy for TTS. Even the characters that were adapted from TTS are just not the same characters, because of all the development they've had, personality differences, and, well, the fact that the writers clearly treat the setting like it matters and not just like it's a convenient cover to do more TTS. Because it's not.

I just think people should get over TTS being gone and take HTP as HTP. It's frustrating seeing people who can only enage with it by analysing to see what they think is a character from or reference to TTS.

Let the past die.

Also the powerscalers, gooooooodddds, can we banish the powerscalers to the umbral depths?

A girl called Boy

I really hope elise’s character is further explored especially through some of her interactions with brok and how she’s treated differently from grimal.

Brok makes an emphasis on using pretty misogynistic language to refer to grimal (calling her a trollop or just outright insulting her appearance) yet he treats elise with ‘respect’, like not demeaning her at all when compared to grimal, harry and marckus.

i think whether intentional or not shows broks attraction to elise but not in a good way i suppose, it’s not a respectful kind of attraction as the only reason she’s treated differently is because she’s desirable to him, which is pretty misogynistic as it implies women only deserve ‘respect’ when they are attractive (how he treats grimal who is someone he doesn’t deem attractive to elise who he does)

additionally, elise is the only character that goes out of her way to cross out ‘brother’ on her arcanum license and replace it with ‘sister’. which again puts an emphasis on her femininity.
