Idk Why But I Absolutely Hate AI Generated Images Of Wizards More Than Any Other AI Pictures.

given that prayer marks seem to be routinely engraved on acolytes/sacrifices themselves, what is the status of (non-votive) tattoos in tsv? could they be used by victims/surviviors of illegal worship to cover prayer marks (like some do for scars)? or to neutralize them? or conversely, would they not interfere with a prayer mark at all, and then could they be used by illegal god worshippers to hide them? or are they looked down upon or regarded with suspicion/wariness? do they even exist???

I think yes to almost all the above - I imagine that former worshippers might cover up unwanted prayer-marks by transforming them into a new design, but not as a mechanical cure-all - they might then sometimes find that the new design is somehow being incorporated into the manifestations of the god as it haunts them.

(i.e. Change that barbed-wire tattoo into a nice harmless rose because you want to be rid of the military-boundary deity you used to follow? Surprise, your family are all twisted up in a maze of horrible wire with red roses sprouting from their mouths!)

Suspicion of any iconography whatsoever would definitely be a society-wide issue, and contribute towards the prevalence of straightforward propaganda that we see in the show.

There's a place just down the street where they chop off angel's wings and fry them in oil. You should try some. Oh, the angels? Yeah they're regular people now. Simultaneously their freedom of flight is ripped away from them violently and yet at the same time they are granted freedom from the yoke of divine subservience so it's bitter sweet for them or some gay shit like that. Anyways the wings are really good.

how do the LIs act when (and *if*) they get jealous?

jealousy jealousy

(i have like 12 asks about the li's getting jealous... it was about time i wrote this lol.)

ronin - he won't care tbh. ronin isn't the jealous type. he might play it up to you "aw, spendin' so much time with angel, what's a devil gotta do to get his due?" but in his hearts of hearts he knows you'll always come back to him. he's corrupted you, made you his: why would he be jealous when he knows you're his?

angel - wouldn't get jealous, mostly because she's too busy to be jealous. if you're flirting with someone else, she's more likely to feel inadequate and blame herself. if ur trying to make her jealous, she would get insecure and try to win u back. but she'd also hide her feelings under a smile like nothing is wrong :)

misaki - would get super clingy and attached to you, mostly because they're scared of losing you.

v - would proudly proclaim you to be his lover to anyone who even looks at you both. would threaten with sophistication when provoked.

one of my favorite things about listening to music is at the end of the song when you hear the musician laugh or talk to other people it's like they switch from some ethereal being back into a person

seeking, yearning, reaching hands

these tiktok comments pass the vibe

being an archaeologist in tumblr is so funny because I see so many text posts and go. Imperialism pre-dates capitalism. Rebellion against empires pre-dates capitalism. Money pre-dates capitalism. Social inequality pre-dates capitalism. Misogyny pre-dates capitalism. Wealth inequality pre-dates capitalism. Unilateral rule by oppressive rulers pre-dates capitalism. People’s dependence on their job for their survival pre-dates capitalism. Capitalism as an economic system is about 200-250 years old max but these problems are much, much older, and capitalism supports, entrenches, or exacerbates many of these problems… doesn’t mean it invented them and doesn’t mean they will simply cease to be problems After Capitalism.

Canon/Headcanon likelihood chart

So I've been thinking about @macdenlover 's "levels of headcanon" chart (about how heavily a HC is influenced by canon), so I decided to make my own scale about how likely a HC is to be true (including different levels of canon) using queer cartoon characters as examples :)

I just spent an hour making this because I was bored. Enjoy.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this
