Low effort scrimble
Anyways shout out to when I just assumed Raphael and Gortash had a Father/Son relationship
At my husband's funeral with my in-laws! 🥰🥳 Rest in peace darling xoxo 🕊🙏
Hehe 🙈
This is not the right place to talk about my sudden hiatus, but I just wanted to say that being in this place, seeing so many cosplayers pour their time and effort into cosplaying their favorite Twisted Wonderland characters, and generally just sharing our love for the game, really lit something warm and fuzzy in my heart.
God knows how much I want to get back to the fandom. Every day I spent unwilling to draw or write is another day spent battling with depression. Maybe this is just the push I needed to finally get my life back in one piece.
Next stop: going to another convention finally dressed as Malleus Draconia!
"She's not really your child" explain this then
Once you find out he's lied to you about keeping a wife imprisoned in the attic, can you believe anything he says? Was Celine Varens really just a ditzy slut who never cared about him or her daughter? Did she really abandon Adele, or did Rochester take her away as vengeance? (What could Celine, a disgraced dancer, do to fight this rich land owner?) Was Bertha really vile and vulgar from the beginning? Was she a threat to herself and others before her humanity was stripped away from her by the man meant to protect her?

“If I was bound for hell, let it be hell. No more false heavens. No more damned magic. You hate me and I hate you. We’ll see who hates best. But first, first I will destroy your hatred. Now. My hate is colder, stronger, and you’ll have no hate to warm yourself. You will have nothing.”
– Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
Hi! Ok I love this book, and would deeply love to hear your further thoughts on Bertha. I mean, in a Doylean (Doylist?) viewpoint she's a terribly racist commentary on the "wrong" way to be feminine and the possibly prevailing notion that men should only pursue English maidens with soft, whispering voices and mild manners (ugh). But given that it's a very, very bad take on colonialism that's only gotten more raunchy as it ages, what do you think of Rochester's treatment of Bertha's madness? Is locking her in the attic really the abusive crime then that it would be today? Would an asylum have given her better treatment? Certainly with her penchant for harm to herself and to people and things around her, it doesn't seem safe to let her have full run of the house. Is the biggest crime that Rochester refuses to acknowledge that she even exists, let alone claims her as his wife? (in the same way England refused to acknowledge their crimes against their colonies?)
Oh, Bertha! </3 Sort of parenthetically, I find it worth noting that Blanche Ingram, the "correct" upper-class Englishwoman, is presented as vapid, and the romantic pursuit of her (such as it is) as a pathetic farce. What we are looking for is the intellectual companionship of the passionate weirdos who abandon Blanche in the parlor and deal with the aftermath of Bertha's rage in the attic. As another parenthetical: I presume you've read Jean Rhys' The Wide Sargasso Sea and are looking for more textual commentary.
To address your attic/asylum comments first: I'm on firm ground here with the history of medicine, and an asylum would absolutely not have given her better treatment. This would have been a pre-reform asylum and... one-on-one care, directly overseen, with private space and a personalized regimen, is a much better option for Bertha than an asylum would be. We also learn that Rochester has refused the respectable but morally horrific option of having Bertha live separately in an "insalubrious" environment where she might easily die of natural causes ("to each villain his own vice," he says bitterly; "and mine is not a tendency to indirect assassination.") No, he has kept her at the house of which she is the mistress by right, and he absents himself from it instead. It’s important that we’re explicitly told that it is not because she is mad that Rochester hates her (which he does.) Another part of the novel's commentary on mental illness and its care, here, is that insanity is not grounds for divorce. It is precisely her insanity, in fact, that makes it impossible for Rochester to divorce her on the grounds he would otherwise have.
What Rochester has refused Bertha, of course, is acknowledgement, as you rightly observe. I think there's a very good case for analyzing this silence as a metaphor for colonial sins: the lives of the colonies are bound up with the life of England; these are systems exploitatively intertwined. And England wants to ignore both the exploitation and the existence of that inconvenient other. (Charlotte Brontë is brilliant, but this does not mean she is subtle.) The other thing the narrative denies Bertha is... just continuing to live in Jamaica. In-text, this is not even presented as an option. The text is, however, rich enough that it makes a range of postcolonial readings not only possible but interesting (as well as, in many cases, obvious.) The portrayal of her as hypersexual is, of course, racist. There's also the depiction of her as cursed with both natural strength and the inability to self-govern (ahem.) She has excellent qualities; she has beauty lush for the taking; she will be the undoing of the man who yokes himself to her. Moreover, clearly, failing to understand Bertha on her own terms can bring only misery. I would also argue that it is of vital importance that Rochester describes his own action in marrying her as that of a "gross, grovelling, mole-eyed blockhead." Moreover, this marriage is explicitly identified as an arrangement made for material gain, in pursuit of (colonially-generated) wealth. Rochester doesn't know this at the time, of course. But I think Charlotte Brontë shows us this whole sorry mess as a symptom of an imperial system that is rotten to its core, and one that will destroy all it touches: the proud son married off for his "good race" (yikes) as surely as Bertha, doomed by congenital mental illness, and trapped in the incompatible relationship with Rochester. Reading against the grain, it's very easy to read her "intemperate and unchaste" conduct as a form of protest. Anyway. Yes. I am so acutely sorry for Bertha.

Considering this is the third one of these blogs I've seen pop up, I'm gonna make a post about it. Beware of these bot(AI?) accounts going around that are reposting art. They seem to take a lot of recently posted art too, so it shouldn't be hard to find the original artist.
Please report and block them if you see them, and DON'T click whatever links they keep putting on their posts. Also the artist for the second image doesn't have asks open, so if anyone is able to let them know, it's best if the owner of the actual art reports!

“he would not fucking say that!” then put him in a situation that makes him say it, we wanna see him squirm
It's good old fashioned characterization practice when confronted with "he would not fucking say that" to go "under what circumstances WOULD he say that?" And then go "and how would he get into those circumstances?" And boom. You have a MUCH more solid character.
It's also a fun magic trick as a writer to write a guy so well you get people foaming at the mouth on the comments going "HE WOULD NOT SAY THAT BUT HE *DOES* AND IT *MAKES SENSE* FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!"
This is the core of why I love angst. It’s character algebra. If you want the character to do X, what needs to happen to make it so?
wyll being raised as the sole heir of baldur’s gate/to be a political figure and then also becoming a warlock with the main stat of charisma is so interesting and i hardly see it thoroughly discussed. like his entire life has been dictated by rigid rules and ways he (and others) can operate creatively within them and how to use that to his advantage. he’s charismatic, people rally behind him and believe anything he has to say. he was able to become a widely beloved folk hero despite being backed by the hells, an accomplishment that would take quite a bit of intentional narrative framing in a world as judgey as Faerûn. that’s such an interesting premise for a character and it goes nowhere!!!!! no one does anything with it!!!!!!!! what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just started a durge bg3 playthrough and it’s gotta be so weird from the rest of the party’s pov. you wake up one morning and the amnesiac wackjob you’re traveling with to find a cure for your brain eating amoeba straight up ritually massacred this random bard you legit just met and they didn’t even clean up the bloody ritual circle. mind you this is after days of watching them move erratically and flinch at nothing and grind their jaw and look overall pallid and disturbed. wtf man i am hightailing it out of there!!!!
death note wip i suddenly had the urge to start. it’s right at that cusp between the yotsuba arc ending and L’s death.
it’s oc + canon but really doesn’t specify whether it is a romantic bond or platonic and honestly neither would have been able to differentiate.
i hc L as somewhere on the aroace spectrum and c definitely is, but she is just looking for any kind of human connection at that point
i’m trying to instill the fic with a sense of foreboding, since i’ve been reading jane eyre and the scenes before the wedding did such a good job of building up unease
i have a side rp blog for c that i never used but maybe if i get this fic done i’ll boot it back up! i abandoned her for a few years after realizing how similar her design was to barbara gordon (curly red hair, green-ish eyes, glasses, tech wizard) but i can only hope that she is half as cool as babs one da
if only i put this energy into any hw fic or my dnd writing

Tumblr is acting wonky when I search up the Helena Wayne tag. It’s giving me post that are tagged as Helena Bertinelli 😭.
Then more “popular” post that do have a Helena Wayne tag on them are just… a general sort of post about the batfam with nothing in reference or mention of her. At this point just leave her out of Batfam tags if the post itself doesn’t even include her, it just clogs up the Helena Wayne tag with… no Helena Wayne.
Jasmine Vine, lead programmer of Hollow Knight & Silksong just transitioned!! I'm so happy for her!❤️🏳️⚧️
her bluesky header & icon are so cute too 🥰
