Whoops Couldnt Make A Video For This But Have Some Uuuuh Very Vague Lore

Reblog if you're getting the same ERROR 500 page. I've tried logging in, clicking on various categories to read fanfics, the latest article, etc. only for it to show this.

Literally no matter what I click on this shows up. I can't check their Twitter account because Twitter is apparently anti-VPN and the last time they posted anything on Tumblr via @ao3org was two (2) days ago. And what's even funnier? This even shows up when you click contact support. How tf are we supposed to contact them if this keeps popping up??

gifs i’ve made of some ships that make me really ill

volume 7

I have discovered that Big the Cat and Infinite is a ship.

And honestly?

I dig it.

Boycott hoyoverse, please.

I used to be a big genshin impact lore buff, i played, i read, i was on forums, i made fanart, and then i was deeply disrespected by the game itself (this post is about natlan)

I am brazilian and i follow a religion named candomblé. Long story short, its from yoruba people who were sent to brazil as slaves, then went through a big process of spreading out to not just black people, but light-skinned people of lower classes like my family. We believe in the creation by Olorum, the power of Axé, and the Orixás.

Natlan, as of now, has two characters named Iansan and Ororon. These names come from not just the yoruba predecessors of candomblé, but also the religion itself, the Orixá deities Iansã and Olorum.

My religion, my deities. My mother's deities. The statuettes in my house. Their names are recycled cheaply to be used trivially. Never have we of candomblé ever gotten mentioned by AAA games or films that give such attention to detail like Genshin does, and we are disrespected. Our Gods are used like rags for someone's profit to be thrown away, washed out. They do not convey our beauty, our grit, our wonder, they do not convey us but they profit from us.

People love to tell us that it is just a game, but think again: games are not entitled to disrespect us just because of their nature. We are entitled to complain, to scream, because this is cruelty. You brutalize our image, butcher our names, for what?

When I was younger, I used to look at games with religious imagery very curiously. It was always weird to see the faith of the people I know be used for aesthetic reasons or just because it looks cool. The same has now happened to me, but times worse. People will say anything to justify this mockery and throw excuses to keep playing the product of a corporation that won't ever understand what it means to be us.

Boycott, complain, scream, because I will do it too. I regret the time I invested in playing, in reading, in watching, in dedicating myself to something that would never do me justice. It is not expensive to change a character's name, not even talking about the model. I don't plan on re-entering the fandom while it still lies unaware of the gross source material's true colors. Candomblé is not mythology, it's faith. We are alive. We have existed for centuries and will continue to grow, despite the challenges we face.

// Malakh fan concept //

Malakhs are stone demons that represent fallen angels. They guarded the lower layers of Hell, until their blood dried up for unknown reasons so they froze into lifeless statues. To awake, Malakh needs to be irrigated with blood.

I downloaded it, I’m so fucked

Guys should I play the cookie game?

Can't decide if I'll make this sketch into a fully rendered piece? Yay or nay?

Guess it'll depend on how much attention it gets
